right in front of you in this burning building you can say well also just thousands of children around the world and take millions of children around the world you could potentially state it weight it's light weight in this situation and being i'm facing a burning building just all the time. next guys are financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm the troika and here i'm greece the fight 9. thank you for. destroying that's true. for a. little while on the way of the white house. and so i don't know how you would think if the phone. home. that wanted to know the town's oh my. thing enough to only have one. 6. this is the challenge in this strict in northern thailand the people here lead simple laws they're friendly and very hardworking needless to say be in fashion forward is not very high on the list of priorities here but it is for this woman her nickname is cook and thanks to her new venture she's become an internet sensation believe it or not this tiny woman spent years working in construction and then in the warehouses carrying heavy loads and getting paid pea

we have talked about democracy around the world. you know, even before the elections, of course, this year deep societal divisions over fundamental issues, like human rights, the rule of law. and now, we are seeing in many ways a stress test of our very democratic system, the -- itution that protected talk about how that process that we are going through here in impactsur ability to -- our ability to promote the advancement of freedom around the world. >> when i served overseas as a mbassador, one of the things i said to my tanzanian partners is, i'm not saying we have all the answers, but maybe we have made all the mistakes, and you don't need to make the same mistakes that we have. they actually loved it, because it made us real to them. it made us human to them. so talking about the lessons that we have learned, in some cases, the hardware, is a particularly compelling story and message in advancing democracy. i think we are in a turbulent time at the moment. this will be resolved. i think it will be resolved in a way that we can

others around the world, that us are disengaging from the world was a sign of decline. doesjoe biden go about changing the image of the us's role in the international affairs? i think we have seen over these last four years that even “— over these last four years that even —— really, the emperor is wearing no clothes. if you look at opinion polls around the world, confidence in the us president as an institution and a person has declined to historic lows, lose we have never seen historic lows, lose we have never seen before and this is very dangerous for america's own national security interests and our ability to work with our partners. once again, i think you are going to see a widening administration seeking to rebuild our relations with crucial allies in europe and east asia, in latin america and around the world and partnering on issues. one of your previous smokers said it would be likely —— likely to rejoin the paris climate accord, the world health organization, and trump's immigration banned from muslim majority countries. so it will reassert america's moral st

for example, lincoln, as you said, this man is known around the world in capitals around the world, in the foreign ministries around the world. because he has been deputy secretary of state in the obama administration, national security advisor in the obama administration. and so on the list, i could go the list on all those big see are people who are so to speak, the counter program to what we had or what many say we had under president donald trump and in his administration experience diversity and a vision to bring america back, wade wallace in terms of in terms of cooperation and diplomacy around the world. you know, tony blinken, the designated secretary of state. he stressed today that america needs to serve with humility and confidence. take a listen to what he said, you know, because as the president elect said, we can't solve all the world's problems alone. we need to be working with other countries. we need their cooperation. we need their partnership. but also confidence. because america, at its best, still has a greater ability than any other country on earth to bring other

. vital, trusted and needed allies around the worldlj vital, trusted and needed allies around the worldsk you — that wanted to ask you a uk specific argument. you are in the sub committee on brexit in the us senate. they will be people in the uk government, close to borisjohnson, who are waking up borisjohnson, who are waking up some borisjohnson, who are waking up some sense borisjohnson, who are waking up some sense of trepidation at this change because boris johnson was close to donald trump and donald trump supported the notion of brexit and britain leaving their eu. obama said the uk would be put at the back of the queue because of brexit, will be csc change now that there is a change now that there is a change from the trumpet to biden administration? —— seachange. speaking on my behalf as a senator, i will simply say this, the us — uk relationship is deep, long—lasting, important and transcends any particular leader's in the uk and the us. we have a common interest in values, shed commitment to combating climate change, a shared interest in human rights and combating the pandemic

around brexit and that is so unclear? the industry is facing massive challenges. markets around the worldift away from diesel and lots of uncertainty coming from brexit. imean, if uncertainty coming from brexit. i mean, if we want to make electric cars in the uk we need a car industry that survives andi a car industry that survives and i have a realfear that in the event of a no trade today are brexit we may well see the mass car industry disappear because it cannot cope with a 10% tariffs on its exports of what happens with brexit is going to be absolutely critical as to whether we can make electric cars in the uk in the future. you can understand, you know, the prime minister's move to build back green following coronavirus and this pandemic that has really hit the uk economy hard. but is he being overambitious here with this particular target? will it be an embarrassing u—turn for think, in ten years' time? realistically? the mac it is doable but extremely challenging. the government has come out series of days. they're talking about 2040 than 2035 and all of a sudden it is 2030. if we

to work with an extraordinary group of computer scientists and other researchers at mit and around the world. >> host: can you give one example of how you influenced policy? >> guest: the people are probably well aware as an example that there's a big debate about the use of encryption technology. we need encryption to protect our e-mail exchanges, our financial transactions, political speech that goes on, we hope privately online when it needs to. governments for decades have been concerned that the use of strong encryption technology would swarm the ability for law enforcement to conduct electronic surveillance. from a technical perspective we looked at that question, and while acknowledging encryption can post some barriers for the police, we has shown through technical research that if you try to force all encryption systems to be palpable or have backdoors, , then you'll end up harming the security of all the billions of people around the world to use the internet and continue in computing technology. while this is an ongoing debate even the governments that are trying to control encryp

and that means pushing not just on washington, not just on governments around the world. it means pushing hard on wall street and on financial markets around the world. i think that's one place for the biden ministries and is going to make big difference. it's going to be easier for those of us who are pushing hard on the banks and asset managers and insurance companies to finds real leverage. nic people can see and feel climate change getting was caught in a 2020 set to be one of the hottest years on record. so is there a greater appreciation, at least that there is a climate crisis facing us practically now? and the famed global polling recently that how about doing kind of it just saying that even in oil rich countries, people already concerned about climate change because they can see it being that i'm not totally agree with. this is about moving fast of the economics who want the opportunity agenda. we want that this is the economic economy of the future, even in china. the question is how cost to go that because that's what determines our climate risk. so some of the

will we fly halfway around the world for that same two hour meeting the way we did before? not, but we need to have the same large gatherings with the kind of frequency, perhaps not. does that mean people will be five days in the office versus others? no. but we also know that over the long-term, allowing people to get together, creating informal connections and networks around the company is really important to maintain. again, our value system, our culture as well as the innovation in our products and services. ♪ david: let's talk about how you went from a graduate of west point to becoming the ceo of this company. so, where did you grow up? alex: i could not have imagined 20, 40, 60 years ago i would be in this role and position. i was born in kansas city, kansas. my grandparents for the most part were immigrants and opened up small stores, worked in meatpacking plants in kansas city, and i was there through my early years and then my father was moved with his job when i was 12 years old to a little town in the lower peninsula of michigan. david: what propelled you to sa

the kinds of with relationships around the world that his predecessors have had to build over the years. i know. i have seen him in action. he is one of my closest and most trusted advisors. i know him and his family, immigrants and refugees, holocaust survivor, who taught him to never take for granted the very idea of america as a place of possibilities. possibilities. possibilities. tony is ready on day one. as secretary of moments ago did, i nominate--secretary of homeland security, i nominate alejandro mayorkas. this is one of the hardest jobs in government. the dhs secretary needs to keep us safe at home and abroad. the plays ajob critical role in fixing our broken immigration system. after years of chaos, dysfunction, and absolute cruelty at dhs, i am proud to nominate an experienced leader who has been hailed by both democrats and republicans. by, formergoes director of citizenship and immigration services, former dhs deputy secretary. ca,helped implement da prevented attacks in the home and come and help cybersecurity recover from natural disaster. given hiss everyone, critical

every game is exactly right in that we have a core history around the world of ensuring equity in the way that we develop, evaluate, and then make available different innovations around the world. i think there have been attempts and new forms of art or ships related to coba, but also in ensuring that the way that the trials have been conducted include the diverse populations. and i'm hopeful though, i think it may be a bit of time before all countries get access to this vaccine when it's available that at least will start to see some distribution early on. and hopefully early in 2021 is when we start to see distribution, not just in high income countries, but also in low and middle income countries. and in the 2nd question, how to keep them going to get in this one. if you take the vaccine does not mean that you can't get coverage 19. so how the facts scenes are evaluated is such that they are looking for people who are either in a placebo versus the vaccine arm in getting symptomatic infection. so symptom symptomatic, plus the virus positive where the, whether you will be completely

also coming up 2020 has been a turbulent year for the aviation industry around the world. airlines and even airports are on the brink of collapse. and to that all, there are all important races, the one to find a back seat against the coronavirus. we look at where determined by attacks are looking to test their candidate city w. business. i'm joined now on in berlin. thanks very much for joining us. the u.s. presidential election continues to be front of mind for investors around the world . wall street opened lower on friday after democrat joe biden picked up leaves in key states and traders held their breath. stocks in hong kong edged up slightly while shanghai slipped and european stock markets, france. the cac and germany's dax both ended the week lower. looking beyond today, however, some investors at least say they relish the possibility of improved international trade relations. in the next 4 years, we ask the band, laga is the chairman of the european parliament's committee on international trade . how a byte and presidency would influence transatlantic business tie

and other countries around the world. that's the point of view here your let's now cross the atlantic and speak to our financial correspondent. who's out and about in new york what some reasons response been to this update from the european commission. maybe just one quick word you mentioned the 10 percent of global sales that amazon could be charged if we look at the year 29000 for example that would translate in roughly $30000000000.00 amazon itself is trying to talk itself and small claiming that if you look at the global retail market they would have a little less than one percent but clearly they have a bigger percentage if you look at countries like germany france or particularly also here in the united states amazon is also claiming that nobody has done more to small businesses than amazon well i guess not every 3rd seller agrees was that a statement but even if emerson should found guilty next year they would probably fight or this case is going a long way from here let's talk about another u.s. tech company apple

the world in the way that it was even a decade or 2 ago. and that's probably for the better job of the u.s. is not to go and twist arms around the world. to get everybody to do what it wants, its job is to be part of an important part of a global coalition that's moving in the direction. there are plenty of tools to take on real criminals like balsa naro in brazil. you know, trying to torch the amazon and people will have to go after those go after them hard. but they're the real job here is to make sure that everybody is moving together fast. we don't call it global warming for nothing. you can't solve it in one place, one place. nick, what tools would you think a president would have in terms of trade deals or other international agreements to, to persuade, like gods to increase the fight against climate change? i think, to be honest, at the most countries that america is a few rogue left. but most countries, it's small helping them go as fast as they can because the others have said, you know, this is good for your economy and you're not going to get foreign investment if you're building a dirty economy. so finance really important.
