yes of course hindsight _ benefit of hindsight? i think...fit of hindsight? i think... yes of course hindsight is a _ benefit of hindsight? i think... yes of course hindsight is a wonderful. of course hindsight is a wonderful thing and i think let's take hindsight out of it. i think one of the things that was really clear was the things that was really clear was the need for lockdown and the great need for greater protective measures earlier is something that everyone would have wanted to have seen. i think we need to really take lessons from that. those are lessons that we can still implement now if we see case numbers going up which is the early social distancing, early lockdown measures really do help to keep the spread when is exponential from really having an impact on nhs services and having an impact in terms of loss of life. i think that's absolutely fundamental. the proper social distancing measures. i think we... hospitals on the front line did everything they could in terms of working with their local partners on things like ppe an

hindsight is 2020. is there anyone in particular that you blame for how quickly the taliban took over the country? >> no, jake, i blame all of us. you have to navigate from where you are, not from where you wish you are. so what we have to do right now is decide how we're going to be helpful in the region to include for the afghan people. i don't think we can turn our back and walk away completely. we have to interact as best we can. second, we have to go to school on what went wrong. i don't think we'll find a

adrian: in hindsight, was facebook naive to have held its platforms using the same critical infrastructure integrated digital businesses need to be structured in that way? why does facebook do it like that? alp: we need to look back at 2019 when facebook announced it would merge its product platform. this meant essentially taking all the technology it had acquired when it bought whatsapp , when it bought instagram, and putting them behind a unified technical infrastructure. for the company, this has huge benefits. this means maintenance overhead can be reduced because you now have one dev operations team maintaining the services. it also has an advantage -- for advertising technology and understanding your customers. this means facebook can get more data about users and correlate it between platforms if necessary to understand the behavior of the user. those are business benefits for facebook, but they come with this great negative attached, you now have much more centralization. you have more single point of failure.that means if one thing breaks in one place, all your platforms go off-li

in the hindsight, could the exit have been orchestrated better? gen.illey: there is a few things that could have been done better. one is the intelligence piece. you know, an army that was on paper, 350,000, maybe on paper 250,000, maybe, not 100% sure of the number, i suppose, but an army and police force of that size and government that literally collapses in 11 days, that was a surprise. so that's something that we need to figure out how and why that happened. it almost sounds like a malcolm gladwell tipping point study. it is something we need to sort out. and why is it that we didn't see that. i think that's really important. another one i think is the timing of our response. so, we had collapsed most of our military and most of the nato allies by the middle of july and the bases associated with them had been transitioned over to the afghan military. all that went relatively smoothly without many hiccups. and that was going on really for quite a while, probably the better part of a year, that was going pretty well. so the noncombatant evacuation i

or their solid technical reasons for doing that, or with, with hindsight, is there a better way? would it have made any difference in this case? it to this how much the incident shows that infrastructure means power and how much of this power is in the hand of facebook. and as it was mentioned, the outage was over different services that the company owns, but he was also affecting some of the hardware that the company offers. and people were not able to connect to their uncle to stem for instance, or to build a newly launch products ribbon glasses. it just show that facebook is not really helping building the internet in a decentralized manner that would help in case of incidents like that to have back up plans to maintain communication and maintain communication and help people get access to services. but it's created war garden around all of their services to keep users inside. and when there is an issue, it almost isn't equivalent as if the whole communication system full done a lot of people were saying like, oh my god, i'm here by using s m. and so having to nurture to diffe

at the time of the _ cannot apply hindsight. at the time of the first— cannot apply hindsight.ight to now say the way that decision was shaped and how long we could lockdown for because we now know _ could lockdown for because we now know that _ could lockdown for because we now know that there was a much more willingness — know that there was a much more willingness for the country to ensure — willingness for the country to ensure that that was originally envisioned.— ensure that that was originally envisioned. ,, . , envisioned. steve barclay accepting the government _ envisioned. steve barclay accepting the government takes _ envisioned. steve barclay accepting the government takes full - the government takes full responsibility for the decisions it has made but there is more to come on this. we've had this report today, the full. enquiry isn't due today, the full. enquiry isn't due to get under way until spring —— the full covert —— covid enquiry. families are suggesting it's a slap in the face for the mps to use the vaccine roll—out to redeem the fact that 150,000 people h

[laughter] >> if every wedding is a wonder, then this one is a miracle. >> o'donnell: less than a year later, abedin was pregnant and then the first of many shocks. that same month, may of 2011, weiner's twitter feed showed a picture that he apparently posted of him in his underwear. and he lies to you about it? >> he does. >> did i send the photograph. i did not. it was a prank, a hoax. >> o'donnell: and then he tells you the truth. >> yes. >> o'donnell: the truth is he meant to send the photograph to a woman but mistakenly sent it to thousands of followers. >> i'm going to try to be a better husband, too. >> o'donnell: weiner resigned and entered therapy. sometimes with abedin. their son was born. you go from being behind behind the scenes to someone who is on the front pages of newspapers here in new york city. what did it mean losing your anonimity? >> i liked my anonimity a lot. i don't read anything abo

easy to flash back and maybe get into the moment and it could have turned badly so easily so in hindsight we are talking about one of wonderful event it was. in light of what happened in chicago for example this happened because so many people were behind the veterans and the veterans were so on top of it and there was a script from the beginning in a scripted and. started off when they left and said you can't come. now they changed and when i committed to civil disobedience disobedience -- they they are taking on the role of the british. they are shape-shifting and mobilizing them as they make these changes so lulac really surfaces which is why i think it's a very creative protest. >> i would add there is also a parade and a parade is where you get feedback back and forth. those who are watching get something back and there was clearly that kind of an exchange taking place. >> this is why the most successful protests are parade protests. because you have a chance to get feedback and interaction with so many different committees. >> were going to switch to a little bit of humor in the scr

this is a bit of a birdwalk and takef the picture and this is hindsight 20/20 andd everyone wearing a mask you are relatively frome covid-19 if everyone is wearing masks. could we have averted the shutdown. >> it's harday - >> the length of the shutdown. >> in a theoretical world, had we shutorld down if we can do that, everyone worn masks we have controlled this pandemic. so perhaps in the very beginning, could we have been morere a testing, screeningtact tracing that would have been an a moment us. our response was disjointed. we are looking at a differentntn california. and it's going to differ. we have to take into account that in other stas lower vaccinati with no mask mandates, people will be traveling. wlcaemuome any concern in theme begin once again to ease the mask mandates and mass restrucks even as they continue to inch up, could we create another opportunity for a surge a month or two from now? is that still or are which out of the surge woods at this point? >> it is safe to say in some we are very well protected against the surge. if you look at cases are on thes delta an

and so i think in hindsight, although there's obviously many who would criticize secretary powell for that speech. when you look at that speech, his broader career, you see a man who was very protective of american national security values and equities. i think if you look at the powell doctrine, which if you're going to go into a military conflict, be sure you have an exit strategy. be sure that you know what you're trying to accomplish, what your objectives are, and how you're going to use the precise application of military force to achieve those objectives and how you're going to use all american aspects of power, including diplomatic power, including the moral power of the united states to further advance our interests and our values. i think if you look at that as well as the pottery barn rule, if you break it you buy it. if the united states is going to use our military power, we're going to own some of the consequences. i think those lasting legacies will hopefully inform generations of national security leaders because that's what colin powell left for the world as his legacy

but in hindsight, i'm thankful that it did. >> and obviously thankful it really did remain peaceful. you had counseled your colleagues and peers who followed that counsel to get arrested peacefully and the police officers in turn, and there was almost a mutual respect in elise's book, those police officers were just doing their job the way you had been doing in vietnam, and that they were following the orders that they had gotten from their chief. elise, this might be a good moment for you to talk about the role of townspeople and especially the women of concord and lincoln and lexington who played kind of a support role. maybe you can comment on that. then we'll go to some photos. >> i don't think we can understate the amount of work that goes into pulling off a march with hundreds of people that takes you through multiple jurisdictions, over multiple days, right? we're talking about 20 miles but they're going through various towns. everyone needs to have a place to sleep, everyone needs food, everyone needs a place to use the bathroom. so the amount of preparatory work that goes in

. >> i think there is an issue of hindsight.the time of the first lockdown, the expectation was the tolerance, in terms of how long people would live with lockdown was a short time, and it has proven to be the case. >> the labor leader said the stark conclusions could not be ignored. >> theanguage, this was one of the worst public health failures in the u.k.. that is a damning indictment. my thoughts are with the families who lost people because of these failures. >> the report is critical of the test and trace system in england. it was set up much too late and the capacity should have been built up much earlier in the pandemic in line with some of other countries. halting testing hadost lives, according to the report. just one of the failings, said the former downey street advisor, whoad given evidence to mp's. >> me and others put into place worked to improve the system after the first wave. unfortunately, the prime minister has not pushed it through. >> the covid pressure on care homes is examined in the report. the mp's say

kristen: hindsight is 20/20, but maybe there's something that can be done.ou talked about the brilliant engineers and you fund them early on. should they have had people who are social scientists or philosophers or psychologists at the table as the infrastructure was being built? >> this is a really great question. i think that would have helped but more important, beginning in about 1980, the united states as a country decided it was no longer going to regulate business they were going to let the market allocate resources. so in googles -- when google came along 20 years later, we were in a world with few regulations and very little enforcement of the few that were left. it has been the wild west, and anarchic situation. they've never had any kind of constraint for what they do and that is the real problem. there's some point where every business has two be a good citizen and we never put these rules up for these companies. kristen: thank yo i d d so my y quesonons eouout hicacase.y y son, cacalledhehe bars s fi i d d soit was the best call eouout hii could

so i think to quantify it simply is going to be impossible, until we have true 20-20 hindsight, which may never happen. it used to be that people's sense of self worth was tied to the work, but now the pandemic has given the american workary chance to reassess the workplace, and whether they want to be there at all. >> well, some analysts believe that when a lot of workers quit, it usually is a good sign for the overall job market, the economy. why? because people tend to leave their jobs when they're p■retty sure they can find another one. >>> let's take a live look at the port of oakland, where cargo is moving, but there are other chain supply delays that could threaten our economy and the holiday season. here is what it looked like today, the port. today president biden announced a deal to unclog the port of los angeles and long beach. freight movers at the port say they will begin operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but some bay area business owners are still worried their goods won't arrive in time for the holidays. we have a special tour today to see how california's gi

david: today in hindsight would you say the invasion was a mistake? i would see the execution of the invasion was not done properly. we abandoned the army without any discussion in washington and then we abandoned something worse, the baath party, and said anyone who worked for the baath party could not work in government. those were bad strategic decisions and we did not have enough force to do what we wanted the iraq army to do in the place fell apart. right now, iraq has democracy. it is tricky but they have elections and are trying to restore order in their country. if they do all of that, i think it is bad we went about it in such a terrible way in my humble judgment. if they come out through this difficult process as a democracy, no weapons of mass destruction, no saddam hussein, i think you have to judge this differently than how it is being judged now. ♪ david: what is it, in your view, that makes a person a great leader? gen powell: someone who understands they are leading followers. they are there to put a group of human beings into work tha

now, we know, in hindsight, they were actually the was effected. but the key is finding really days back to some 20 months ago, that key date of march, the 23rd, when the united kingdom entered it 1st locked down. well, this report says, scientists were talking some 2 months prior to that about how ready the u. k. was in terms of dealing with upon demik of this scale, and actually all keys to the government acted far too slow. it is now clear that this is the wrong policy and that it led to a higher initial death told them would have resulted from the more in fasick early policy. in a pandemic spreading rapidly, an exponentially every week counted. while boris johnson, the prime minister and his government have always maintained throughout this pandemic, the policy is guided by the day to the science and always maintains that it just simply put policy into place by the evidence that was presented to it. also says, is sticking by its promise off, allowing a public inquiry into the pandemic. i'm the government handling of it as well, but that won't c

it should have been warnings only to be seen in hindsight caught the people rushed like speeding trains and have to touch into the terrain that they thought they knew so a man and a woman one evening at new york city's grand central palace. by the way the first prologue and first chapters in the meeting room it's a tradition. after reading an early copy of sleeper agent, my friend said the biography takes the reader beyond a typical spy story because for him it brought to life and personified the battle of the american dream versus the communist workers and one of those knowledgeable just a few days ago said the life journey through the centuries american and russian destiny and his work as an intelligence agent had such an impact that his personality would lobby the subject in both russia and the united states. the story also shows the expectation and determination of the russian military intelligence and how we've underestimated the capabilities in technology and science in general. as the former defense secretary james' lesson juror said at the time of the discovery he and enlisted i

the early ninety's in 2009, the budget for the project was just on the 3000000000 euro, which with hindsight things wildly optimistic, the construction came in over 7000000000. the euro with additional work still required that will cost close to another $3000000000.00 even after 3 parliamentary committee investigations. no one is taken responsibility for the airport debacle. it became a joke quite a few years ago. are ready with budget. i think initially it around 2000000000 euros build the airport. that's what generally an airport the size would cost gold . and then it was for the 6. and i think the current total now including all the subsidies to go out to wrap around $7000000000.00. and it's going talking about having to put another 2000000000 subsidies into just to keep it running until 2026 for that kind of money. they could have built for airports. this is a public project right from the beginning are actually not for, it's very from beginning. it was supposed it be a private project and nobody wants to do it in this location, which is why this the government could over. but the govern

i think there is an issue there of hindsight, because at the time of the first lockdown, the expectationple would live with lockdown for was a far shorter period than actually has proven to be the case. the second lockdown came in november. mps say a so—called "circuit—breaker" in england in september might have slowed the virus, though the emergence of a new variant wasn't then known. labour said the report's stark conclusions couldn't be ignored. to use language that this was one of the worst public health failures in the uk, that is a damning indictment. and my thoughts are with the families who've lost people because of these failures. the mps' report is highly critical of the test and trace system in england. it says it was set up much too late and that capacity should've been built up much earlier in the pandemic, in line with some other countries. halting community testing in the early weeks had cost lives, according to the report. just one of the government's failings, said the former downing street adviser who'd given evidence to mps. me and others put into place work to try and
