walter: in the front here. thank you. a recent piece in the "washington post" described the trojan horse in the eu and that you might actually lose value in the eyes of the u.s. after leaving the eu. i would like to know your reaction to that. amb. darroch: when i was doing my 15 years of the eu specialization, i spent my whole fromgetting instructions washington and relating them to my european partners, so i never really bought that description. it is up to us. we have the potential both to europee to be players in in terms of cooperation and foreign policy, in terms of security and other issues. being in a way more significant international players, because we have freedom on policy terms to do some of our own thing that we need to. so i do not worry about -- in if we can succeed economically outside the european union, and i believe we can, if we continue to thrive, continue to invest in our national security, we continue to be active in the security council and in nato and in other international forums, i am confiden

walter: yeah. think, it comes down to, to me, with any technology, first and foremost you have to have a risk versus benefit approach. i would want to know, does this even works, does the company have any credentials or evidence , what is the safety of this. decide, is theo risk, because there was always risk, is the risk worth the benefit? are there alternatives that would be better or just good that i would consider? walter: and suppose the benefit is better than the risk? then, i thinkll at some point in might be something that we have to consider. we had an interesting meeting in early january of 2015, i think we talk about it in the book, where a group of scientists, of about 20 people, including paul berg and david baltimore who had been involved in the discussions in 1970's on them up -- the ethics of molecular cloning -- >> let's posit that. there is something on cloning where they say they need a moratorium on cloning. well, molecular cloning means making copies of little pieces of dna in

walter: [laughs] amb.darroch: our bilateral relations, particularly with the gulf countries, are very important. if you want to look more optimistically, where some of the things are happening, in the gulf in particular, in terms of liberalizing the -- in terms of the oil supplies running out, that will come in the future. you know, both in syria and in libya, they are working hard to try to reestablish security, and a lot of resources have been put out. it is a tragedy what is happened in both of those places, especially the loss of life and destruction of syria. my friend who especially specialized in the inner world, it is a tragedy. i do not question whether it is now achievable, but we will try. walter: there are some young people in the audience and other people watching on cnn. do you have any advice for people who like to follow the u.k. news? what should they read? what should they do? amb. darroch: [laughs] there are so many different ways of following the news now banned that used to. i kind of

: in walter: yes. dr. doudna: i think there needs to be a broad societal consensus concerning whether that type of use of gene editing should proceed. there obviously hasn't been the opportunity -- >> so if you knew that somebody, genetically an embryo, was going to get a fatal blood disease, ou would not fix it? dr. dr. doudna: i would advise other approaches, i think, today. i think the use of it in somatic cell application should happen first and you know, partly for safety reasons but really frankly also to give us some time to grapple with this issue. are we going to start editing the germ line. i think once it begins it will be very hard to stop it, very hard to say, i will do this thing that not that thing. everybody's feelings about this will be different. and who decides? who pays for it? walter: so you're saying that we, the responsible people should pause. not do it until we grapple. your co-author, i think a fwradge watt student of yours, sam sternberg, i sume it's a woman by the pseudonym chri

walter: yeah, i agree. why press the actual territorial issue if you can maintain your rights and relationship with the chinese at the same time. dan: any other thoughts before we open to questions? cara: my one little comments as we have been focused on the south china sea because it has been the news story. in terms of the united states strategy for southeast asia focus has to be on trade and the diplomatic outreach. i would not recommend very many changes to what we are doing in the security space. dan: ok, let's open it up. remember the rule we had. i demonstrated. over here, sir. one question, please. >> steve winters, independent consultant. although the asian economic crisis was 20 years ago and of course the crisis here. it is still in the memory of a lot of the southeast asian countries, and has this led, as i have heard, to an inclination on their part to not totally depend on so-called western norms and so forth and so on and to look to china for example as someone who might be able to give them
