but one of the real problems we felt in geneva was it was almost impossible to -- geneva is kind of far away, so there's no really first class press courage. secondly, just the ways in which even with a good set of concluding observations from the human rights committee, which is different from a council, it's almost impossible to get publicity. indeed, i'm sure there are marvelous people, but the press corps in geneva is not to write home about. so if there was some way to commandeer national television, to get some salience for the things that aren't being done, which might seem inconspicuous because they're not there -- >> she's inviting you to be tv stars, guys. >> ruth, thank you for the question. you're right, their press corps in geneva is not what it is in new york. that goes to the point ambassador haley was making. which taking this up in the general assembly, we can point out more broadly the hypocrishy. it's not just on human rights, but in other areas, as well. >> we have time for one more question. any takers? can you wait for the mike? >> this is something that's getting

their press corps in geneva is not what it is in new york. and i think that goes exactly to the point that ambassador haley was making. that by taking this up in the general assembly as an example, we can point out more broadly the hypocrisy that often reigns supreme in the united nations forums not just on human rights but other areas as well. >> one more question. any takers? go ahead. can you wait for the mic? >> one second. >> this is something that is getting thrown in our face all the time by people in this country. they spread the idea of the way you've all talked about human rights to be attacking your next door neighbor, who doesn't agree with you, politically or women attacking men and it can be a weapon to destroy somebody's reputation, and vice versa. so i feel like human rights has been expanded into anybody disagreeing with me. and i wonder how we can pull back from that? that's not a question exactly. >> but it is a good observation and one that we've been struggling with, including with a lot of our european allies, that they

the director general of the world trade organization joined me from geneva to discuss the next step. welcome to the program. >> my pleasure. >> let me just start with a big sort of fine the eu levied against google. $5 billion in punitive levies there. of course, the united states president, donald trump, who thinks the world is taking advantage of the u.s., is saying this is more evidence of europe taking advantage of us. do you think this is true, taking advantage? do you think it's likely to set off more tariffs? >> i think this whole episode actually demonstrates what we have been saying for quite some time. we need to update the rules of global trade. this is part of the trade scenario. we have in the particularly digital world, a whole range of new practices, new business practices, new challenges that are unregulated on a global level. these kind of different views -- the eu has privacy and content. the u.s. has different views. other countries have different -- we need to sit down and harmonize that somewhat. while we don't do that, these kind of instability and unpredictabil

and tonight i call upon the united kingdom, and i call upon the soviet union as co-chairman of the geneva conferences, and as permanent members of the united nations security council, to do all they can to move from the unilateral act of de-escalation that i have just announced toward genuine peace in southeast asia. now as in the past, the united states is ready to send its representatives to any forum at any time to discuss the means of bringing this ugly war to an end. i am designating one of our most distinguished americans, ambassador avril harrimond, as my ambassador, and thompson who returned from moscow for consultation to join him at geneva or any other suitable place just as as soon as hanoi agrows to a conference. -- agrees to a conference. i call upon the president to respond positively and fave rably to this -- fave rably to this -- favorably to this new step toward peace. but if peace does not come now through negotiations, it will come when hanoi understands that our common resolve is unshakable. and our common strength is inbenchable. tonight we and the other allied nation

risk at the geneva center for security policy welcome to you all hillary i want to start with you so here is yet another shift in tone from donald trump earlier this month he threatens iran now he's saying that he's willing to meet with iranian president hassan rouhani with no conditions is there some kind of strategy here or is this a spontaneous statement. well it's hard to say for sure with president trump and in particular the wild swings in rhetoric to make it more difficult but i think a sober analysis of it trumps moves and what he's done on the world stage and who he actually speaks to and from what we understand listens to in washington i think there is a strategy it has been vastly under reported and under estimated the key foreign policy person that trump has turned to in in the united states has been henry kissinger henry kissinger the former secretary of state to nixon who brokered the u.s. opening to china is someone who takes we know what kissinger's views are and we know that trump has met with him from during the campaign in twenty sixteen throughout his presidency a

now in geneva, soviet and american representatives are discussing a 50% reduction in strategic nuclear weapons. perhaps we can have a treaty ready to sign by our meeting in spring. the world prays that we will. we on the american side are determined to try. you see, we have a vision of a world safe from the threat of nuclear war, and indeed all war. such a world would have far fewer missiles and other weapons. today both america and the soviet union have an opportunity to develop a defensive shield against ballistic missiles, a defensive shield that will threaten no one. for the sake of a safer peace, i am committed to pursuing the possibility that technology offers. the general secretary and i also anticipate continuing our talks about other issues of deep concern to our peoples. for example, the expansion of contact between our peoples and more information flowing across our borders. expanding contacts and information will require decisions about life at home that will have an impact on relations abroad. this is also true in the area of human rights. as you though, we americans are c

trade center the joint development agency of the united nations and the world trade organization geneva thank you very much for joining us on the program now the latest that we've heard from china is that this move from the united states represents the overtures to the biggest trade war in history is that rhetoric or fact in your opinion. well i think we are facing the largest trade conflict since the second world war but more importantly is that this conflict is already having an impact on the ground it's already affecting workers that are being laid off as a result of decisions especially in america to move out of the country and produce elsewhere given that their eaves is having an impact on businesses that are not making capital investment decisions because of the uncertainty of the situation but let's not forget our taxes taxes that the consumer will have to pay it will make it is making already american consumers. pay more for the goods they buy and it's making american companies less competitive because the the inputs the import in their manufacturing chains will be more expensiv

on wednesday, china appears before the world trade organization in geneva as part of a regular reviewntries in the trade grouping. the chinese government has said it remains fully committed to opening up its economy under wto rules. also on wednesday, the malaysians central bank meets and on thursday it is south korea's central bank's turn. will they raise rates to keep pace with the us? and on thursday as well, donald trump is expected to arrive in the uk. to get a sense of what all this means about the economic calendar ahead, investment adviser brock silber says he is being cautious about xiaomi because he feels it is riddled with red flags. it strikes me as a very expensive way to get involved with a company with very modest profit and perhaps misaligned interests between management and shareholders as well as, i think, a confused model. and looking forward to the later part of the week we have china at the wto. all of this being framed against that backdrop of beijing and washington fighting it out over trade. what do you think the conversation at the wto will be about and how su

and human rights director of human rights watch on the author off the report he's joining us from geneva thanks very much for speaking to us in your reports you're recommending this that brazil should impose a moratorium on aerial spraying and create a buffer zone for ground spraying near a sensitive sites yet we know from the report we just watched that brazil has very powerful agri industries so how likely is it that more forceful safeguards will actually be implemented. i think that depends on the response of the brazilian authorities we've made a very clear call that there are media steps they can take to keep people safe and that one of those would be a buffer zone on the ground spraying between where pesticides are applied and sites like rural schools or or where people are living the response from the ministry of agriculture on that particular point was positive which is obviously a good thing and that would be an immediate improvement on to people's lives but more generally our concern is with the pesticides bill that was mentioned and the fact that that will further we can regul

the first meeting was in geneva in 1985, and in that meeting it was just reagan, gorbachev, myself ander. in iceland by the time they had met in iceland, there were note takers there in addition to reagan, gorbachev, myself and the soviet interpreter. if you want to draw parallel, it would be the meeting in geneva rather than the iceland meeting. >> interesting. so are you put in a position where you are also taking notes, so besides listening and immediately translating you are also taking notes? >> yes. the way it works is that let's say reagan said something, he spoke for a little while, and i'm taking notes as he is speaking. when he finishes speaking, i look at my notes from what he is saying and put that into russian for gorbachev. then gorbachev listens, he replies, at that moment his interpreter is taking notes and i'm also taking notes on what gorbachev is saying, and the soviet interpreter will then put it into english for reagan. so the process is kind of long. initially they expect the meeting to last 20 minutes, well, that's unrealistic because 20 minutes back and forth is

at the geneva summit the soviets paid lip service to the principle of german reunification but blocked any practical progress. the negotiations all of the l talk could not break down the iron curtain. for west berlin it was still go ahead. to the traveler flying in the city displayed a brave, new face. first on arrival he would see the memorial to the air lift, a sign west berlin remembers those who won its survival. after that a new sky line risen from the rubble. if west berlin had as communists alleged little hope for the future it was not on the face of their steadily changing city. in west berlin, a new look. --.ast berlin from beyond the plat stale flood arriving, a flood to air lift off island to find new homes in the west. in the face of continued soviet obstruction the 15 nato nations sought to clear the soviets' minds as to how alliance stood on the question of berlin. already in 1954 the three powers responsible for berlin had made it clear beyond doubt that any attack against berlin from any quarter would be treated as an attack on their forces and on themselves. the other

a little more than a year ago, i went to geneva. i told the human rights council that we expected changes to justify america's continued participation. [applause] we said that we needed to change the makeup of the council membership to keep the worst human rights abusers off. we needed to not just reform, but fully eliminated agenda seven. dozens of countries told us they agreed with us. but, they only told us that behind closed doors. they did not have the courage to call it like it is. we do have that car courage. [applause] in the united states withdrew. [applause] many friendly countries told us we should stay in the human rights council because american participation was the last shred of credibility the council had. but, that is exactly why we should not be there. america will always be the world's leader in advocating human rights. but, we will not do that in a place that makes a mockery of the very human rights ideals it's postop old.

nato's strength was such that by 1955, west could meet east in geneva on equal terms. any promise of real relief was soon to be dashed. this was hungary in 1956. this was budapest, exhausted by soviet domination and denied the , people of hungary rose in protest. but, without allies, heroism is not enough. this could be us. this is why nato had to exist. the members of the north atlantic treaty organization, concerned over increasing soviet military power, gathered in paris in december, 1957, for a crucial conference. from the united states came president dwight david eisenhower, whose presence at this critical time gave the nations of western europe critical new hope. for ike, this was a homecoming. at the headquarters, the military arm of nato located outside paris, the former commander of military forces, now president of one of nato's most powerful member nations declared his mission before the large crowd which had gathered to greet him. >> frankly, i came out here because of a special kind of sickness, one that afflicts the aged and the young -- homesickness. i w

[cheers and applause] many friendly countries told us we should stay in the human rights council bus american participation was the last shred of credibility the council had. but that's exactly why we should not be there. america will always be the world's leader in advocating human rights, but we will not do that in a place that makes a mockery of the very human rights ideals it's supposed to upho
