to approve of your post the atlantic council is a think tank funded by the u.s.state department various bodies of the u.s. department of defense the united arab emirates which is mainly also from funneling funds from that saudi arabia so saudi arabia the guy who is chopping. journalists and then dispersing their body throughout istanbul thank god i get to decide whether your thoughts are legitimate and whether your thoughts can advance the notion of democracy and liberty in america. i don't want that guy who rips off people's faces to be the guy who tells me whether i could post something to my friends and family on facebook but i get the but so it is an individual sovereignty and i'm like sovereignty a laying the groundwork and opening up the necessary space for having speech sovereignty as well and having that free speech escape the confines of the atlantic council so that's what nasal may seem to be implying is that there is a path out of the constructions were we because we do. it konami sovereignty with big clean and she said there's two ways people have evo

department of defense official and now a senior fellow at the atlantic council he joins us via skype from some pieces back in florida i'm wondering this is essentially the militarization of space could this be the start of a new arms race. you know obviously president trump has increased the u.s. department of defense budget and this is a part of his interest in creating a legacy for himself as being strong on defense yes of course there's going to be concerns about a militarization of space but the u.s. has operated in space for many years and u.s. is obviously needed to compete with powers like russia and china which have their own space programs so in many ways this in terms of a focus is overdue but i think one of the things that's questionable is the wisdom of president trumps desire for a separate space force a separate military department which is still not a foreign inclusion which he does not have support from the congress and he also has significant detractors in his own administration to include the department of defense of the wisdom of a separate military force like as y

is very connected to this integrity initiative and we know that the atlantic council has already had its tentacles placed all over big social media sites like facebook and tech giants like twitter and facebook where they are affecting the information that's allowed to be presented to the public in those spaces so i think the one hand it's a money making enterprise but on the other hand it's the ability to be able to shape and control how people think and what they think and let's not kid ourselves that is kind of the in goal for so many people in politics and in these spaces it seems to me there's this you know and what i hear you talk about that makes you really sort of like lay it all out the say it seems like they're going back down that same route that they did in a twenty sixteen election when they thought they could do things like correct a record or you know it was getting people to go out and tween at people concept ring and essentially just harass people online. and it seems now like they're now we're back to the same idea of using what they say are evil rush and tack. t

air space that's very important let's take this on now ariel cohen is a senior fellow with the atlantic council joins us on skype from washington d.c. and mr cohen tell us more about your perspective on this what do you think's happy why is it happening right now. israel warned for a long time that she will react to the continuous supply of the advanced iranian weapons specifically smart bombs and missiles to hizbullah the iranian fully own subsidiary in lebanon and despite the fact that israel is as they said hit thousands of targets that process is still continuing the russians promised israel that they will make sure that the arrangements are moved away from the israeli says for a line in the golan the russians could not deliver on their promises because if israelis are getting the iranian targets in the damascus airport this is much less than eighty kilometers from the go on and also it means that the russians are not one hundred percent controlling what's going on in lebanon so in the long term yeah go ahead is going to say it's interesting is it because israel rarely admits to carry out a

laura: for more,ke a short time ago to the director of the atlantic council's latin american program.s a very dramatic day in venezuela. the mass protests and now president trump recognizing the opposition leader as interim president. just how volatile and precarious is the position of president maduro right now >> maduro is facing reaction against his regime le he has never seen before. there were monumental protts two years ago. today's protests are nationwide. hundreds of thousands of people in the streets. not just protesting against maduro and the humanitariant crisis, otesting for a return to demracy. we are in a historic moment with juan guaidÓ assuming interim presency of venezuela today and two weeks after guaidÓ himself assumed the presidency of the national assembly, this marks a seachange in venezuela as well as the importance of the international community is critical at this moment -- u.s. recognitio latin american communities, and others. laura: president trump has taken a very activist role on venezuela, and for once in washington there is bipartisan support. jason: in

let's get more on all of this novel joined by jason masak the director of latin america at the atlantic counciland he's joining us live from washington d.c. very good to have you with us on al-jazeera that start with the latest news from washington d.c. the defection of the defense attache to the u.s. how significant do you think that is well thank you for having me i think the defense the defection of colonel silva is very important because what is going to be key moving forward is where the allegiance of the military is of course some of the top brass but much of the top brass the venezuelan military has been paid off to have allegiance to tomorrow but many of the everyday soldiers are struggling just like every day venezuelans for themselves for their families struggling to put food on the table struggling to get access to medicine medical equipment for loved ones and so this is a court message for other members of the military folks like colonel silver are willing to take the stand do you see others in the military taking up those offer of amnesty especially given that you know soldiers are

>> i am with the atlantic council and the naval war college. to you frank, for the next panel, i would argue that the history lesson is important but it is based on 20th century thinking and there are several dimensions lacking. if we are looking at the 21st century, the notion of deterrence is profoundly different. space, looking at ciber, chinese advances and china. it seems to me, the first thing we need to do would be to examine a new conceptual basis for doing that. the idea of a commission makes sense but commissions do not work. it is difficult for this administration to do something. my questions are -- what is missing from this debate that brings us into the 21st century? i would argue that the modernization program that we have given the other demands for not going to be affordable. and second, what sort of mechanisms to we have to make sure that we are sound, safe, and secure? frank: thank you for those questions. let me turn them over to the panel. who would like to start? john. john: i do not think we are anywhere near the state we

states since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine and matthew bryza is a senior fellow at the atlantic council and a former white house official he says the u.s. president has become more open to the extradition. the whole move the whole atmosphere around this issue in terms of relations between the turkish and u.s. governments has softened as recently as late august and early september the turkish side was simply furious with the u.s. side for not having agreed to the extradition request the u.s. side and president trump are putting pressure on turkey for the release of that american pastor andrew bronson so the the sides were talking past each other and then in recent weeks president trump came out and said you know i'd like to see the extradition happen in the justice department should work on it so now it appears based on press reports here that turkey has provided some debt some perhaps some e-mails and some other data that shows that there may indeed have been plotting between learn and his team in pennsylvania and the coup plotters for the extradition to happen there needs to be suffici

we got these 12 parliamentarians together at the atlantic council. we have focused this meeting on combating russian election interference. now, the irony is meeting date was, that was the very same day, that president trump appeared on the international stage with president putin, and we saw an american president kowtowing to a russian leader. meanwhile, we were working with our nato allies to develop a roadmap for increased cooperation and information sharing, to counter russian cyber and misinformation disinformation aggression. in many countries, the truth is, because they have experienced this for a longer period of time, these countries are further along and educating their populations, about the threat of misinformation, and disinformation. last month, i met with the prime minister of finland. as he put it, the fans have been dealing with russians disinformation and misinformation for well over 100 years. but, finland is one of the most resilient countries, when it comes to countering this threat from the neighbor to the east. i asked why. aga

the atlantic council and life the people who drew up sanctions policy under president obama and the treasury experts actually are unanimous in saying this is exactly how sanctions should operate. because this plan actually stands up. i very much hope that people will look and will and agency what we've done. i'm not pretending that he is from the company altogether, that we have moved control. this is an extraordinary event for a company that is a russian business because it's the first time the minority shareholders and independent directors have come together to remove the control of that majority shareholder. they controlled 70% of the business and had three quarters of the board. today, he has just 35% of the votes, he has a minority ownership, and two thirds of the board are stellar, world-class, independent directors. they will look at the names that we have published today and say well, this is a good board. vonnie: let's look forward, how much permanent damage has been , can you regain customers that have been lost during the sanctions? >> sure, great question. i am surprised actuall

amy is a senior fellow at the atlantic council, also served in the obama white house as a member of theational security council. pleasure to have you on the show this hour live from london. >> thank you. >> let's start with the president's approval rating, if we can show our viewers where things stand now. this poll of polls showing disapproval now at 57%. this poll taken within the window of that partial government shutdown. and we understand, amy, that's one of the reasons the president took the action that he did, did what he said he would never do in so many tweets, caving to democrats, reopening government, putting workers back to work. but not getting a single dollar for that border wall that he wants for his base. three weeks now. three-week reprieve before we're back to square one. question i have for you, who has most pressure now? >> the president continues to have a tremendous amount of pressure. it was clear he was losing the support of his republicans in congress as well as the american people. for many -- for the last two years, this president has been playing to his base.
