foreign historians, titled "remaking of american foreign policy." your panel was entitled "beyond good and evil: new ways of thinking about henry kissinger." daniel: new analysis is being driven by new evidence. the declassification of documents, which has produced a lot of material for the last decade, has driven serious re-examination, reconsideration of kissinger's career. i think it is far more possible than it was a generation earlier to ground analysis of kissinger in hard historical evidence rather than memoir accounts, the kinds of evidentiary base that supports an earlier generation of scholarship. historians are doing innovative kinds of work, in some cases using digital humanities technologies to mine analysis from across vast reams of documentation. this is scholarship that was not possible a generation ago. we had on the panel yesterday a terrific paper by a graduate student that made splendid use of data mining in order to extrapolate new conclusions about kissinger's career. host: when you talk about henry kissinger to your students a

person could be involved in the sense that even if they're targeting a foreign person, if that foreign person is engaged in a communication with the u.s. person, you would still be involved in the u.s. communication as well, correct? >> that's possible, yes. and there are efforts to try to take that into account as well, so there are rules about minimization. that is if they ended up targeting a u.s. citizen inadvertently, maybe they didn't realize it was a u.s. person when they started and then figured it out, they would minimization and try to use public rules. there is also something about sending a person back to the u.s. if the u.k. is looking at a group of terrorists that they believe might be bombing the u.s. subway and they're also planning to bomb the new york subway, you can believe we need that information in order to protect people. so there is balancing all the interests involved, knowing there will be some circumstances in which a u.s. person could be intercepted or whose data could be obtained. let me also say there is a provision in there for a audit of the foreign gove

(people cheering) (speaking a foreign language) (speaking a foreign language) america's defense strategy would need to adjust to the new balance of power. - those who won the cold war believed that their model had triumphed, and that the western, democratic, capitalist us led alliance would now encompass the globe. that order would become the world order. - already the united nations has become the measure, and the vehicle, of man's most generous impulses. - the imf world bank. the united states remains honored to be one of the founding fathers of both organizations. - that's why we created nato. the powerful military alliance of democracies, that has guaranteed our security for half a century now. - we've lost 60,000 factories since china joined the world trade organization in 2001. - the us government's position after the end of the cold war was this was a good thing, let's keep it going. the military did get smaller, but the united states really didn't shed any of its major foreign responsibilities. there was a very conscious decision, on the part of george hw bush administration, and

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle from foreign policy could be described as double speak the president doesn't have a defined policy approach even goals are difficult to discern is this what the art of the deal means is trumps foreign policy making america great again and the world safer. cross talking terms foreign policy i'm joined by my guest michael block who is in washington he's a professor of strategy at the johns hopkins university also in washington we have i done you for achi. he is the director of grassroots political consulting and in new york we cross to george them yuli he's a fellow at the global policy institute in london and author of the book bombs for peace our gentleman cross-like rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciated michael let me go to you first in washington you are after all a professor of strategy so given what we've seen of this administration well so they'd say does this president have a foreign policies strategy go ahead mr strategists. strategy can be the thing itself or

the british foreign office repeat that its own claims that only moscow had the technical means motive to target the screwballs we spoke to former u.k. intelligence officer child's shoe bridge about the contradictory data coming from the global chemical weapons watchdog short on many of the or stylish when we first saw this interview appeared with the chief for. the. one can look at that and say well ok it's very easy probably to make a mistaken image of an interview and say grams when in fact you meant milligrams but that is actually contradicted by what the i.p.c.c. selves have said it makes you wonder what was the reasoning behind the chief actually saying something that appears to be not just a mistake but at least officially untrue certainly it was grasped upon by headlines in the west that said that this was further proof that such a huge substance huge amount could only come from a state of course to bolster their case that this might be russia. a lot of input and will officially start his fourth term as russia's leader in just a few hours' time no egos not of looks ahead to the

>> i think -- i think we remain concerned on the foreign influence side. we have seen that continually. whether it is after events in syria or england recently, we see that continuing. i will continue to hunker down on that. with respect infrastructure, the week are concerned about foreign adversaries using their cyber capabilities to affect the elections. that is why we are putting in layers and layers of security. i want to comment on this. but we have seen the russians do is attempt to manipulate public confidence on both sides. we have seen them encourage people to go to a protest on one side. we have seen them simultaneously encourage people to go to a protest on the other side. ist they are trying to do disrupt our belief in our own understanding of what's happening. it's an integrity issue of who is saying what and why and how that may or may not affect an americans behavior in what they believe. >> [indiscernible] try to orchestrate a cyber campaign -- do you have any disagreement with that? >> i do believe russia did and will continue to try to mi

the foreign secretary said in a statement the u.k. will continue to come with destabilizing behavior in the region. follow the foreign secretary do to due to bring to an end that continuous persecution of people at the highest day which is now spread for your prominent leader has placed a message of social media threatening to butcher every country. we should be able to bring this terrible persecution to an end. >> i can assure my right honorable friend that we raise human rights and indeed the treatment of other frankly disgusting acts. many disgusting aspects of the behavior of the iranian regime. we raise these issues repeatedly >> the government does not -- the israeli government does not believe that iran in terms of the agreement. the groups urged the iranian regime is using revenue to finance terrorism across the middle east and of course iran has played an important part in the conflict in syria and yemen. does the foreign secretary not accept that the decisions by the american president will send an important message to the r

as for show and it's very effective now when it comes to the substance of his foreign policy it also reflects his constituents and they are they like the idea of america first and of course he uses that phrase and so i call his worldview foreign policy a kind of america for version of world leadership which may sound contradictory but i don't think it is why what it means essentially is detached i think it is it's attaching the are going to finish your thought go ahead finish i don't know finish your thought no the point is there's a whole level of spin and representation that is not necessarily mord to the actual relationships he's pursuing so a lot of this is is very self-conscious grandstanding for the domestic audience and he's toning down the leadership and and saying we will be a world leader if it's really helps the u.s. ok all right i guess that's why it's so confusing under president drum george because if we if we just take what michael said there i mean if trump is you know representing his base then he's portraying everything he said he would do for the base ok looks like

a couple of other things in the topic of foreign affairs.t was yesterday that the israeli prime mr. benjamin netanyahu gave what he said was evidence that was found when it comes to the iranian deal, the nuclear program. when it comes to this event, israel targets the iran accord. you can see it on our website. in the washington times, the context of what was said yesterday, the israeli prime minister saying that iran lied. 100 figure files prove it did -- secret files proved it did, that a continued to expand nuclear weapons knowledge for future use after the plan, citing photos he said where secretive facilities into ron. -- tehran. that it has become clear. he also asserted that the nuclear project, codenamed amad, had been shelved but filled work had secretly -- field where cad secretly continued -- work had to grilli continued. here is the prime minister elaborating on that. >> we have known for years that iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called amad. we can now prove that project amad was a comprehensive program to design, bui

let me thank the foreign secretary for his statement. i'm sure there will come a time to debate whether the government's approach toward donald trump since his election in 2016 the right one. but today is not the time. i believe the whole house and the whole world should stand united today in condemning donald trump for his reckless senseless, and immoral acts of diplomatic sabotage that he has committed. every independent inspection has confirmed, even the u.s. defense secretary james mattis did -- admitted last month at the nuclear deal is working and iran is complying with a in full. there are other important matters that must be addressed with iran. it's regional activities, its ballistic missile program and its history on human rights. but the foundation on which future arrangements could be reached was the nuclear deal. instead, by seeking to scuttle the nuclear deal, donald trump has destroyed a platform for future progress and risks triggering a nuclear arms race in the middle east, handing power to the hardline theocrat's in ira

. >> thank you to the foreign secretary for statement. could i also wish you and all members of the house a very happy your update today. this is a good illustration for the heart of the [inaudible] the jcpoa has illustrated the importance of our relationship with their european partners who are, after all, our closest allies. this also illustrates the painstaking work that goes into ceasing a diplomatic way forward and [inaudible] although this has been a long process and the painstaking process and i say to credit to special people on both sides of house for their work on the shows it's much more effective way of dealing with fairness over weapons of mass destruction then iran's neighbors for example. i also want wonder if the foreign secretary agrees with me that this move by president trump was one that was deeply reckless and responsible move that undermines the process and undermines the importance of the diplomatic process. can you also tell me given the uk's what appears to be the lack of influence in the foreign sector appeal to

the un has no place other world powers are not even enough room to play a major actors in the us foreign policy and this shows major failure for diplomacy in resolving global issues like nuclear problem that's the main message of the kind of policy that has been in the op that by donald trump. now hundreds of interpreters who works for the british army in afghanistan a facing the threat of deportation from the u.k. that's despite a promise that they would be allowed to stay but we spoke to one of those potentially affected he says that the anything awaiting him in afghanistan would be death. if they deport me back there is only one times for me to be killed he doesn't know when but the u.k. home office has informed abdul bari that he's going to be deported to kabul within the next three months abdul says he can't go back to afghanistan because he worked as a frontline interpreter for british forces from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten my life was in danger my family lives in danger threatening me but they told me that you know that you joined the infidels. used to talk abo

the foreign secretary one is crazy. said therogers technological alternative is a fantasy island, unicorn model. there are two options, neither of which is workable. the case for a new customs union with the european union is clear , support jobs and living standards. why is the prime minister and ignoring all the major business organizations, all the major trade unions, and packing a customs union? isn't it time she stood up to those described last night by the father of the house as these wild right wing people? [laughter] we are leaving the customs union. what we are doing is ensuring we deliver customs arrangements that leave the customs union, that ensure no hard border between northern ireland and ireland, frictionless trade with the eu, and the frictionless trade policy, but what would labor give us? they want to go into a customs union with the european union with no say over trade policy, with brussels negotiating deals and their interest, not our own. they said they wanted to strike trade deals. now they come

meanwhile the foreign secretary cannot deliver a foreign messed abroad in the correct manner.ary undermines the prime minister on the customs union. prime minister, can you tell us when the foreign secretary will agree with the government's own position? and if not, will she have the backbone to send him to the back benches? the prime minister didn't refer directly to the tv show fox and friends, but explained that the foreign secretary had made representations at a variety of levels and in a variety of ways. borisjohnson later updated mps on the situation with the iran nuclear deal orjcpoa. the government regrets the decision of the us and ministration to withdraw from the deal and to reimpose american sanctions on iran. we did our utmost to prevent this outcome from the moment that president trump's administration took office. we made the case for keeping it at every level. by seeking to scrap the nuclear deal, donald trump has destroyed the platform for future progress and risk triggering a nuclear arms race in middle east, handing power to the hard—line theocratic iran and

foreign relations. among his many impressive achievements, he is a distinguished lecturer of the society of american historians. professor press and has written -- preston has written numerous books on national security and u.s. foreign relations, and is coeditor of a new book series with cambridge university press on military, war, and society in modern american history. so look for that. our second panelist is christopher nichols, a fellow you a ba that uva graduate, as well as associate director for the oregon state for humanities. he specializes, as do many today, on the history of the united states and its relation to the rest of the world, particularly in the areas of isolation of them -- isolationism, internationalism, and globalization. old-age ands on the with was an andrew carnegie fellow. our third and final panelist is david milne, senior lecturer. andas written on rock duo the vietnam war, and on the intellectual history of u.s. foreign-policy from the spanish-american war to the present. h

the rhetoric and delivery of his foreign policy. is really shaped to fit his constituency and part of that is sloughing off this elaborate theater and highly choreographed ballet that marked elitist foreign policy since one thousand nine hundred five and so a lot of that's for show and it's very effective now when it comes to the substance of his foreign policy it also reflects his constituents and they. they like the idea of america first and of course he uses that for us and so i call his world view foreign policy a kind of america for version of world leadership which may sound contradictory but i don't think it is why what it means essentially is detached i think it is it's attaching the had finish your thought go ahead finish i don't. no finish your thought no the point is there's a whole level of spin and representation that is not necessarily mord to the actual relationships he's pursuing so a lot of this is very self-conscious grandstanding for the domestic audience and he's toning down the leadership and and saying we will

pull out of syria if it wanted to avoid being penalized by washington but in a tweet the iranian foreign minister accused the u.s. of conducting sham diplomacy and making mistakes of the past. it was u.s. secretary of state might pump a was flushed major speech and he used it to strike out vaziri pompei or warned iran to end it should rename enrichment and withdraw from yemen and syria are paying a heavy price these will indeed end up being the strongest things in history when we are complete the regime has been fighting all over the middle east for years after our sanctions come in force it will be battling to keep its economic economy alive and then while pumping spoke in washington the foreign ministers of several other g twenty countries maint and when desirous pump is absence was a disappointment for chairman foreign minister. he is pushing for an internationally coordinated solution. voyage this is without this deal there's a danger that iran will return to its nuclear weapons program something we oppose. that directly affects germany security interests as well as the security inte

even some donald trump's altitude to washington's allies with found offensive gesture on germany's foreign minister has weighed well. to preserve the market. agreement. this list and i think it's not right to unilaterally cancel a deal that was agreed upon that was not am likely approved in the un security council that diminishes confidence in the international order. it seems that today screening and shouting insulting and pulling it systematically destroying dismantling everything it is already in place is the most of our times the europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles not what a babe blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we have an economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran inside the brain work of a strategic deal with iran which includes the ransom announcing of nuclear weapons within that this is the right way to go and so we continue to do business with iran three days after american made the controversial move the chief inspector of the un's nuclear watchdog annou

well the iranian foreign and foreign minister has been making a tour of you know all the signatories of this deal and today he's in moscow meeting with the foreign minister lavrov from the beginning russia has wanted to salvage this deal and the foreign minister here lover of made that very clear again today he said that they wanted to save the deal and he also said that the u.s. withdrawal from the deal created a crisis situation and iran is likely to be looking for assurances from moscow after all moscow has been working with terror closely in syria they've been the two countries have been fighting on the same side in the war they've been fighting to support the syrian government there in that conflict and there have been frequent meetings last year as well between the two foreign ministers so there's likely to be a fair amount of trust between the two countries we saw a rather warm handshake between lover of and zarif today and of course this is an opportunity as well for moscow to show that it's once again an important go between an important negotiator in the middle east. as it

welcome to today's council on foreign relations meeting on british foreign policy post brexit. i am steve, and i will be providing over the discussion -- presiding over the discussion. we have joining us via videoconference matthew goodwin from the u.k. to my right, jennifer hillman from georgetown law firm -- law center. ,nd from the financial times ed. as i was thinking about this today coming in, i was thinking it is really nice for once, with everything going on in the u.s., to focus on someone else's internal problems for a change. it, in manyabout , we are nowe exitlly 330 days away from day, and we have absolutely no idea how we are getting from point a to point b. i like to tell people that in washington, point a to point b is never a straight line, and that definitely appears to be the case in the u.k. i think we want to focus on exploring those internal brexit politics, because while at a council, we are interested in the foreign policy dynamics and where this is all going after brexit. as we know, all politics are local, and what happens with the policy will in many

the foreign secretary said in a statement the u.k. will continue to come with destabilizing behavior in the region. follow the foreign secretary do to due to bring to an end that continuous persecution of people at the highest day which is now spread for your prominent leader has placed a message of social media threatening to butcher every country. we should be able to bring this terrible persecution to an end. >> i can assure my right honorable friend that we raise human rights and indeed the treatment of other frankly disgusting acts. many disgusting aspects of the behavior of the iranian regime. we raise these issues repeatedly >> samuelsson. >> the government does not believe that iran in terms of the agreement. the groups urged the iranian regime is using revenue to finance terrorism across the middle east and of course iran has played an important part in the conflict in syria and yemen. does the foreign secretary not accept that the decisions by the american president will send an important message to the regime to control. >>

on the broader foreign-policy issue this is somebody that has been very critical of the uk's foreign-policy interventions pretty much for the past 30 years. somebody who was willingly engaged with terrorist sympathizers with groups and organizations that really have had no formal channel of communications to uk government in recent history. somebody that is very unorthodox from a radical left-wing position in his used towards things like israel, and his use towards latin america, in his use towards syria and libya. this is somebody that would not only cause an economic shock, talk about the market drafting, watching the markets recto labour majority election will be something worth watching but also if this is someone with significant shakeup british foreign-policy and not i would suggest in a personal capacity for good reasons. >> one quick point. the russian poisoning in salisbury a few weeks ago and theresa may's reaction to it is an interesting case. in the first place she went was brussels. she got a major practical cooperation from macron and others. then went to united states and got

the foreign secretary.ssue raised at prime minister's questions was the investigation of killings during the troubles in northern ireland. theresa may said the current arrangements were unfair. the situation we have at the moment is that the only people being investigated for things that happened in the... these issues that happened in the past are those in our armed forces or those who served in law enforcement in northern ireland. that is patently unfair. terrorists are not being investigated. that is what the government wants to see. they should be investigated. the prime minister's comments follow reports that senior ministers have raised concerns about a new plan — the stormont house agreement — to investigate unsolved killings because they fear that former soldiers and police officers could be targeted unfairly. those fears were reflected on the tory backbenches when the northern ireland secretary took part in her regular question time. there is a very real danger that the stormont house agreement ins

the internet is used to group people not just by foreign governments by by foreign terrorist groups.y can do long-distance recruitment and one of the great things of the internet is that geographic location is less relevant and is talking about that on the threat side from cyber threats. you know, you can recruit somebody from a great distance by exposing them to webpages and sermons that have been recorded. they famous islamic cleric had very compelling sermons spent time in the united states and those were used to group people. they can be vetted and groomed and once the conversation has progressed far enough in open internet challenge they can take it to an encrypted channel and carry on further and then if necessary although increasingly is not, they could be in person and they can take someone to a training camp but they've had all this time over the broadcast mode of sending out materials and webpages and sermons and seeing who hits and then taking them along the progression so it's very much a useful tool for the spread of that kind of information just like it is for any kind

foreign policy in with an energy deal. yes and not only that it was syria was yemen was iraq was you know he was asking for you know a complete change of the whole region without actually saying that for example if without actually the iterating what the president dropped by withdrawing withdrawal of the american troops from syria. but nothing happened on the ground let's see let's see all foreign forces there withdraw from syria can we see that like russian a russian foreign ministry actually it wishes to see all four armies withdraw from syria did we see that on the american part not did we see any any stance on the americans to actually open the way for negotiations for a kind of a dialogue with the iranian authorities to fall of this issue especially since the europeans are actually canceled at the end i mean it would only be mature diplomatically and politically to leave the door open for some kind of negotiations in order to make a new deal if that's what you know what could be beneficial for everybody that is not ev

ever visit as foreign minister to russia and as a new foreign minister he has taken a tougher approach with moscow then his predecessor and spite of seeing eye to eye though with russia on keeping iran's nuclear deal live masa also had plenty to criticize. german russian relations have long been fraught that tension was on display during the german foreign minister's visit to moscow last laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier and met his counterpart sergey lavrov of their encounter was far from warm given the west's recent accusations that russia is behind a nerve agent attack on a former russian double agent and a cyber attack on the german foreign ministry. i believe that an open and honest dialogue is the key to a solid partnership we have to be able to figure out if we are still playing by the same rules i think. germany and russia aren't at odds on all fronts both want to salvage the nuclear deal with iran fearing the potential instability the collapse could bring. the agreement is vital for regional stability stopping the spread of mass destruction it's important of the
