>> i would just like to thank atlantic council for your focus on this issue. at times, it is a dry area that i think as you put really well about wall street, if people realize the threat environment as i get briefed on it and then realize what we are actually doing, most people don't know we are exporting technologies or helping china build a hypersonic weapons. i think if they understood that, they would want that to stop to better protect the country. i feel like i have come first circle -- full circle with my life. in 1996 when i saw it firsthand, it was -- it really woke me up and got my attention. they have accelerated so far now than they were back then at such a more rapid pace and their ai, quantum, 5g is all very advanced. i feel like i am in a position where -- i can now do something better on the policy side. >> i think you are right. the stakes couldn't be higher. the united states has been the world's technology leaders since the time of thomas edison. it has brought us economic, military and geopolitical advantages. now we are in a race with chi

the united states department of state for sanctions policy, one of the leading figures of the atlantic council. well, and then we will be joined by the famous political scientist who is in washington, andriy bionkovskyi. i congratulate you, dear friend, on the air of the espresso tv channel, we understand that key decisions are being made now with regard to russian aggression, in particular, it is primarily about the response of a collective measure in the event of the use of tactical nuclear weapons by russia against ukraine president joseph biden, like the hero of the poem by edgar allan poe, repeated to putin three times : “no, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, but in your opinion, how tough will the response be from the united states in the event of the use of tactical nuclear weapons by russia, unfortunately, the threat of a nuclear attack on russia remains real, but no longer so much so that this is partly due to the fact that the us administration and president biden have made it clear to the russians both publicly and privately that the

informal discussions on the sidelines, now they will take place within the framework of the atlantic counciltake place within the framework of the meeting of the ministers of defense peter, the prospects for accelerated accession to nato. you know this is an application, we, uh, not only clearly showed where we are going, we did a favor to the european allies. they will not look inside the alliance now. who is ready to fight russia . then it is not ready who, perhaps, should be excluded from the alliance who does not deserve collective responsibility for collective mutual defense, so here i do not think that the alliance will disintegrate, russia would really like to, in fact, so i think that russia will try to submit even our application to nato as a way that ukraine will now split europe , contradictions, disputes will begin and so on and so on and so on, in fact, our application is only uh... it allows us to start a discussion not only about the accession of ukraine, but about how ready each country is to protect our allies within the framework of nato, how much is everyone really ready t

>> so we've been looking at this at the atlantic council with rhodium group. and a lot of people were watching his speech, president xi's speech yesterday, two-hour speech to see if there were any signs that he would move things back into a reformist direction. certainly, that's what foreign investors are telling him and that's what his own economy is telling him. it says your state companies at best are 80% as productive as a private company. for the last ten years, they have increased -- they have increased productivity in china 0.6% per year. the previous decade it was three times as much. private productivity is not growing. in this new ideological approach to the world, they think they can get enough economy, can get enough efficiency, can get enough growth. they have to control their technology, their own technology more and not depend as much on outside technology and if that, if the trade-off is more social and political control for a little bit less growth, i think it's a risk that president xi at the moment seems willing to take. >> unbelievable. fre

he's soon new director of the atlantic council strategic litigation projects was speaking there. well, one of the world's leading global health conferences is underway here in berlin. the world health so much is an annual event that focuses on urgent issues in health care. one of them is fighting a tiny pass that kills hundreds of thousands of people annually. they may be tiny, but they kill more humans every year than any other animal on the planet. by some estimates around a 1000000 people annually die from the pathogens that mosquitoes can transmit. and around half or more of those deaths are directly linked to one illness in particular. malaria which is caused by a parasite that multiplies in red blood cells. the bloodsucking insects that can carry the disease have so far been limited by temperature and conditions to a wide band spanning the tropics world wide. many scientists believe climate change is now causing that band to widen. the vast majority of malaria cases occur in sub saharan africa where the disease is particularly devastating for young children. a lot of progre

atlantic council. the atlantic soviet is a subsidiary of nato, he worked for a long time cooperation with enemies, and treason is on the face of krug communication is very characteristic. for example, coramza personally knew the russophobe american senator john mccain, but his son was khodorkovsky's agent and did on a short leg. the active part, and we see that today khodorkovsky is openly longing for the nationalists to be stationed somewhere near moscow for the troops in ukraine, therefore, they did not put the work on the traitor. it should correspond to gore-murza - one of the most characteristic people with bright faces, fighters for the russia of the future, completely sharpened by the west. not just western standards the agent seems to be completely devoted to a completely different country. cora-murza, a british citizen of northern ireland, has real estate in washington and money in foreign banks. all these investigations were voiced in the basmanny court this spring, when kara murza was taken i

i've been speaking to a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council. the oil workers strike have a big psychological impact on the wider protest movement. >> the strikes have of course and economic element, in the sense that they will impact the econom performance, the economic well-being of the state. but most importantly, they have a very important psychological impact on the protest. because up until the last few days, everyone has been calling for strikes, and only small-scale companies or shops have gone on strike. certainly in the larger cities. but no big scale industry had started with the strikes. the strikes started with contract workers in the phase ii refinery which is still under construction, so it is not operating yet. nonetheless, it has broken a psycholocal barrier, and it has spread to other entities, other locations. lewis: that is really interesting and hugely emotionally and psyologically important to many in iran. what is your reaction to the widespread protest across the country given they have been so expected by some people --

who on the pages of the largest publications in the atlantic council are already making plans for theapse of our country, in fact. this will be a world war, but for the west this is a working option. they understand that if they cannot bend russia, the liberal empire will collapse, therefore, planes and silence with weapons and mercenaries will continue to fly to kiev. why is the percentage of mercenaries so high now? but because the ukrainians have already been knocked out. why are weapons already mostly nato? but because the fact that they had their own has long been destroyed zelensky declares that he will never negotiate with vladimir putin, even signed such a decree. well, good. and why do we need to negotiate with him, begged for negotiations? it is his there was a topic, i was even going to go to a meeting of the twenty in order to be able to, at least the twenty is not included. somehow he will talk with putin, but dmitry sergeevich peskov said that well, then we will talk with another president about ukraine , what's the difference? in general, this is zelensky's manner. but

atlantic council joins us next.loomberg. ♪ shery: protests have continued in iran over the death of a woman in the custody of the so-called morality police. 22-year-old mahsa amini was arrested last month for allegedly breaking islamic dress code. this prompted iranian women to risk the same face -- fate i removing headscarves in public, including most recently export climate competing in korea. they were welcomed at toronto airport as a hero. how much has this challenge the power of iran's rulers? let's bring in the director of the strategic litigation project at atlantic council. good to have you with us. so what is different this time in these protests in the duration and durability of these protests, by women, what has changed? gissou:ave been recurring protests in the country's since december 2017. a lot of casual observers of iran affairs might not be aware of that. but there have been repeated protests of this space in between each spate of protests has grown shorter and shorter. however when some of those pr

she's a fellow with the atlantic council, a washington based think tank, where she is also the editor sauce blog. -- iran source blog. holly, thank you for joining us. you've previously said that the 2009 green revolution, which was kind of called the social media revolution in iran, is not really the best example of how social media revolutions in iran can go and that this one actually is much more deserving of that moniker. why is that? and who are these protesters? holly: well, these protesters are led by iranian gen z with women at the forefront. and what's been key here is that iranian gen z, like gen z everywhere, is online. they're on social media. they're on talk instagram. -- they are on tiktok and instagram. and they use social media to express themselves and for their voices to be heard. and what we've been seeing is that they've used this and expressed themselves through lyrics. shervin hajipur, a singer that's based in new zealand, actually used the tweets from actual iranians as part of his lyrics, and some of the needs and wants included the ability to kiss their lover

zhovkva told the next stage will be the discussion of this submission at the level of the north atlantic council ambassadors of the nato member states in brussels. when ukraine declares that it will move to nato under an accelerated procedure, it means that to date, taking into account the experience of countries such as sweden, finland, ukraine expects that the movement towards membership in nato will continue without the application of the instrument of the membership action plan, which until today was one of the mandatory elements, therefore ukraine is counting on the appropriate model of movement and certainly to the president of ukraine, and the diplomatic service is negotiating with the nato member states to ensure that such an application receives practical consideration for even more military equipment and modern equipment . will provide four highmers multiple rocket launchers 32 howitzers about 100,000 rounds 200 armored fighting vehicles 200,000 rounds of ammunition for small arms and jamming equipment it already the 22nd package of military support from washington, the total amount of

joining me now is a senior fellow for the atlantic council.followed rishi sunak on the campaign trail in yorkshire in 2015 and has written a profile of rishi sunak. we know about his economic competence. we know he is something of a geek, a self-confessed geek, a star trek fan, a teetotaler. wh more do you think makes them suitable for the highest office in the land? >> i won't judge whether he is suitable or unsuitable, but it is important to understand that there are different types of people in finance. there are bankers who work in big international banks which traditionally have had lots of ties to europe and remainnd then there are hedge fund guys who work out of very lavish offices in mayfair. they don't really deal with the real economy. they take bets. rishi sunak's mind and style has the imprints of a hedge fund guy. his career has been about the big bets. he took a bet on brexit, he took a bet on boris. it is about looking at graphs and numbers and figing out what he thinks. that has taken him to popular ideas such as needing to do

intelligence data during a speech at the invitation of the non-governmental research organization atlantic councilat is to say, we see that the president of israel isaa duke is in washington , meeting there with high-ranking american officials. well, so to speak, he is lobbying for the interests of protecting our state, but our cooperation with even now, we hope that there is no problem with the elections that may take place there in the near future, at least now they signal to us about bipartisan support and that no matter who is at the helm of the united states, ukraine will still be supported at the helm i don't quite understand what additional we can get in the context of the advocacy of president israel saak duke in the states, see what you are absolutely right to say , first of all, we have excellent relations with the american partners and without israel will help us here, we do not need unequivocally when the world also remembers that the israeli president is, according to israeli law, the queen of the question, that is, he is not, does not have any influence, uh, we represent israel at th

peculiarities of israel's position in an interview with the bbc, the israeli columnist of the atlantic council, ksenia slytova, said that there is also a debate about how the situation is changing. in the east, with less russian influence in syria and other regions where they were very visible until recently, there are also changes regarding ukraine, where drones are used and, with consent, ballistic missiles that will be provided russia and iran, which will play a key and harmful role in this war, which will bring a lot of damage and deaths, we are already hearing about it both within the government, in particular from minister nahmana shay, but also from one of the leaders of the left party mirets zahava galon, who strongly advocates the supply of weapons to ukraine she called for help to ukraine even before the whole story with drones became public, she and many other israelis understand that this is important and that it is not only israel's moral obligations but also israel as a part of the western world and an ally the united states simply cannot be on the right side of history, especial

minister will also consider this application and form their own response as as a rule, the north atlantic council can set some deadlines for such a preliminary review, it can be a month, it can be more, after which the positions of certain countries will be evaluated, if any country has certain provisions, eh, hmmm, i think there will be such a direction to look for a compromise in this, it is possible that some proposal will be put forward to ukraine to resolve certain claims or to win certain demands if they are not unwritten and after that the final position of nato will be formed did you mention turkey, i really remembered in 1952 they were accepted together with greece. although they were constantly hostile to nato in a certain way there, but in 1974, when turkey seized part of cyprus, greece then left nato and returned only after six years, so that not everything was like that with turkey during the existence of the north atlantic alliance, and now it is ambiguous, in particular, it opposes the scandinavian countries joining the alliance. ukrainian that by the time of our entry into nato ,
