increasingly strong language of what was happening but also affirmation of the strength of american institutionsropean foreign policy started his social media post by saying, this is not the america that we know. the president of the european commission about a half—hour ago said that she still had belief in the strength of american institutions and also democracy. many thanks for bringing us democracy. many thanks for bringing us that round up. flooding and our international correspondent. let's look to the uk shadow foreign secretary. lisa nandy is the shadow foreign secretary. here in the uk. we have been hearing some of the international reaction. i know you have been commenting on it and just give us your initial reaction. we knew there was a prospect of civil u nrest knew there was a prospect of civil unrest considering how the election results were in folding and watching around the world, this is quite a shocking and stunning series of images being broadcast into our living rooms. we have seen one of the worlds great democracies descend into violence and asjoe biden put it, an unpreceden

i think the american democratic institutions arestrong, and hopefully everything will return to normaluk — the pm borisjohnson has tweeted: disgraceful scenes in us congress. the united states stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power. our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet explained more about the international reaction to the shocking scenes a little earlier i think they were watching for quite a while in disbelief, stunned at what they're seeing in washington because it took a while before we started seeing on social media one of the first we saw was the secretary general about and earned a half ago, use the word shocking to the scenes of the united states and called for the result of the democratic election to be respected. and then there were some strange reaction of the prime minister saying that he was concerned about the events in the united states but as the situation deteriorated on capitol hill, so too did the language, it became more and more stronger. we heard from the first minister

now to discuss them with co-host investigators want to be tucker editorial director of the american institute for economic research but let's start with you what was a tweet by you on musk that triggered that. you know it's pretty simple it was a good signal that's all it was. essentially say move to these other messaging apps that are encrypted and are safer you mentioned over 7000000 new downloads of signal since last week but i give you one better than that telegram the messaging app that's encrypted and tied in to block chain technology. well a graham has seen 25000000 new users in just the past 72 hours that's how fast everyone is going to flood into these other encrypted messaging apps and moving away from what's app as a result of some of the missteps that they've made but it's a bigger thing than just what's out it's a bigger thing than just one or 2 companies it is as john just laid out a minute ago in that report we just saw it is an entire move across the board by tech companies by media and by politicians to say there will be only one line of thinking one line of thought allowed a

our interview took place before thursday's news that the american petroleum institute, the chief lobbyinggas industry, had reversed its longstanding opposition to obama-era methane regulations. you've said in the past that the trump administration has rolled back for methane emissions regulation was frustrating and disappointing. tell me why you decided to take a position like that, because usually people in your industry don't. >> we have absolutely committed to natural gas as being a very important transition fuel as we move from fossil fuels to renewable fuels, but it's only going to be a good transition fuel if there are low to no emissions. and so, it's absolutely critical that we as a company get this right and, frankly, we as an industry get this right. because the natural gas loses its effectiveness as a good transition fuel if we have these emissions. and so, we have done a lot of work at shell to really reduce, and eliminate in many cases, our emissions. some examples i can give you from west texas. drill hundreds of wells in west texas. it used to be industry standard that ever

so it's not just american institutions. it's global institutions. fact, that's one of the most important strengths of the american economy, and that is the debt that we issue, the treasury debt is the safest asset in the world. if you want safety, if you want money good, if you know you're going to get paid back on time, you invest in u.s. treasury bonds, and that's to our collective benefit because we can borrow at these extraordinarily low interest rates. go anywhere else in the rest of the world, they have to pay a higher interest rate over longer periods of time than we do because we're the safest asset on the planet. >> in el paso, texas, republican. >> caller: i want to know when do you think inflation is going to take off? i mean this is -- the amount of debt that's going on right now is so astronomical that there's no way that it can't take off. if i ran my household the way we're running my country and took on the multitudes of debt compared to my income, there's no way i would be -- have anything i'd have right now. i'd end up being in a c

is the recognition which i think is correct that race has been and remains central to american society and institutionse cannot understand american history without recognizing the centrality of race and if one wants to understand even now basic institutions in american society operate public education, employment, large corporations, if you want to understand how things operate in american society you need to attend to the role of race in those institutions and that is certainly correct and that stands in opposition to the more liberal, i use that in a small l sense. overtime race is going to fade away. american institutions are going to be oriented around individual merits and opportunity and race is going to be something we consigned to the past. it is similar to randy's observation or expectation or hope we would have presidents who no longer make racial antagonism or racial resentment a centerpiece of their appeal, that is a vision that is very attractive. i now am somewhat -- i try to be hopeful, you see race remains part of our nation and there are some ways in which we as a nation don't regard a

the american enterprise institute is a public policy research institution. it does not have opinions, only a building. there is plenty of disagreement among scholars about what american foreign policy priorities should be, how they should be executed, and whether biden or trump or somebody else is the right man to do them. all i can say particularly about me is that really everybody, no matter where they end up on the spectrum politically, is driven by the same principles. that means american global leadership, standing for the values we hold dear at home, which are freedom, the rights of minorities, the right to express yourself, the right to worship as you please. the united states should stand for those things in the world. that does not mean we should deliver them to everybody by military force, but those should be the principles that animate us. i think i can speak at least that far for my aei colleagues and saying we share those principles. host: jerry out of nebraska, a republican. caller: good morning. i want to know -- all of these allies she is talk

this urge to participate in the ceremony stems partly from the fact that american institutions belonge people. the inaugural ceremony is the transfer of presidential power. but it also symbolizes the strength of all three branches of government. in this spirit, the the inaugural platform, the very hub of the ceremony is shared by distinguished guests from the congress, supreme court, and presidents cabinet. at 10:30 a.m. most of the senate and house of representatives convened. moments later the sergeant at arms of house carried the mace, the symbol of house authority onto the inaugural platform, thus signaling the start of procession of this thing which guests. by tradition, the house of representatives is seated first. the representatives are followed by members of the senate. with the senator's imposition of -- in position of leadership in the vanguard. steve russell of georgia, the president pro tem of the senate. senator hugh scott of pennsylvania, minority whip. the governors of all the states are invited. and each is seated following the entrance of the senators. members of the

you are not allowed to destroy american institutions. >> as you have referenced, there are calls for the president to be removed from office. some of your fellow colleague in the house representatives have urged the cabinet tonvoke the 2th amendment or they may pursue impeachment. president trump's former chief of staff, john kel, went on the record, as you know, a four star marine general, and said if he were inhe cabinet today, he would invoke the 25th amendment and vote for it. what do you say to that? >>crt's ibly serious. we're seeing resignations of high level cabinet officials, the deputy nationalecurity advisor. serious people that would not resign if they were not haofoundly concerned about happened on january 6th. i'm not there yet. i think what the country needsm than anything else right now is reconciliation. i think the bestsi pe outcome is for the president to commit himselfpeatedly and thoroughly to the peaceful transition of power. vice president pence he saying he will be at the inauguration is a s positivep forward. i worry that if we go down the path of impeachment

earl fellow at the american institute for economic research believes it is just the market at play what makes this a really unique situation in my mind is really 3 factors that are currently we still have a lot of people who are at home under unemployed because a block down to city home orders which are now starting to be lifted but they're still in effect the 2nd is that stock valuations are extremely high even overall not just bigger stocks but overall partially because of the infusion of trillions of dollars over the federal reserve's. attempts to liquefy the economy when things start to fall out of bed in march april 2020 and in this particular case you wanted to edge funds it were they were asleep at the switch the rich group was short in an illiquid stock and they got caught and that's just how i would go if you that's if you step on them and you might get punched. science fiction is becoming a reality as a moscow may get its 1st flying taxis within a couple of years a russian urban air mobility company has started testing so-called passenger drones artie's constantino roscoff was
