global charter, and not an atlantic charter. there is a lot of good news already happening. the people came out with its own proposal for a global alliance. this has opened democratic societies and market economies. the eu and the u.s. agree on the strategic challenges presented by china's growing assertiveness, even if we don't always agree on the best way to address this. and this encompasses everything from climate to our differences on primacy and big tech. we do believe this could be as important as the end of world war i and world war ii in terms of shaping the global future together with partners allies. the atlantic council ease in the forefront of thinking of the values that should guide democracies in the 21st century. in 2019, the atlantic council had at nonpartisan cochaired by hadley andsteve madeleine albright and released seven core principles to guide nations that could be the basis of such a charter. we will conclude today's events with a panel on global risks, looking ahead to the challenges and opportunities f

the global tally stands at over 63 million. united states has dealt a blow to president donald trump's efforts to overturn the results of the election last month. in an interview with the associated press, william barr said the justice department has found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. but trump's legal team says it will continue its fight. barr said the justice department and homeland security followed up on all claims of fraud, but nothing that would change the outcome of the election was uncovered. he added that one assertion of systemic fraud, which would involve machines programmed to skew results, couldn't be substantiated. barr has been an ally of the president in the past, with president trump insisting he should lead any investigation into voting fraud. barr was criticized last month for authorizing prosecutors to investigate substantial allegations of irregularities if they existed before the election was certified and with no evidence. shortly after the interview was published, trump's attorney rudy giuliani

that change expectations of a recovery for the global economy?e looking at a v-shaped recovery? >> it is the level of output that matters. be 2021 or 2022. most countries will go back to pre-covid levels. that assumes the pandemic can be contained. i suspect that the expectation that we will see large-scale vaccinations by the middle of next year are rather optimistic. not wanting to sound pessimistic, i think the global economy is recovering and will continue to recover. but it will take quite longer than what the markets seem to be thinking about when they look at the vaccine. >> what risks remain for the global economy? >> a renewed lockdown of the same scale and severity that we saw earlier this year. that is a major risk. scarring willeep have effects that will be long-lasting. supporte is a policy that if you get that balance wrong, you might generate a double-dip recession next year. and at the same time, there would be the accumulation of so much debt. unwinding will be a major challenge. the central bank can't keep fighting this governme

coons: as we have worked to address things like global hunger, or global pandemics, global funds have often been a tool used, and some of them are structured in ways that ensure american leadership. some of them are engaged in ways that recognize that there are limits and where we can go. there are certain countries where our engagement in hunger relief is not welcome. and so, it's got to be done through a u.n. entity. we have our own direct support. then there are global partnerships. pandemic work. there is also a very constructive feedback loop between what philanthropy is doing, what the u.s. government is doing, and what the world community and private-sector is doing. let me ask about ghost gear. my father spent 25 years in the commercial fishing industry. fishing gear that is discarded at sea that keeps having negative impacts is closely associated with other problems. like illegal, underreported, and unregulated fishing. i thought it was great you signed onto the initiative, but i would be interested in hearing what more you think state and usaid can do with partners in the in

trump isn't the only populist leader, globally.own mind or thought to speak their mind is reflected in the fact that young people, particularly in europe today, are disillusioned with democracy. and so we need to be much better at explaining what the benefits are. we've got to do much better explaining how everybody comes along on that trip and on that course and also, what is the purpose of us having, for example, higher costs to our digital technologies, our clothing industries by being more selective about these global supply chains? but, by and large, the consumer has shouted too loud at the expense of citizens in democratic societies, and we need to become much better, more adroit at doing that. as it happens, having watched the soviet union, totalitarian and authoritarian states struggle as they reach critical size. so, the fact that there are, in 1999, not a single billionaire in china and now more billionaires in china than there are in the us shows that those inequality issues are even more pronounced in a country of 1.4,

global leadership? thing,apper: the first of course, we need to get our arms around the unmitigated disaster the pandemic has represented to the united states. i think this reinforces the noint, our credibility is i question. are,nability -- here we most prosperous country in the world, and we couldn't find our way out of this. that is going to be a preoccupation of the new administration, getting its arms around this pandemic. the mention the racial strife that is preoccupying the country as will. >> in general, i think the trump team is working on the assumption they don't want to start another middle eastern war. they want to phase out the ones that are ongoing. backst see us turning our on the region. once we draw down from the afghanistan support, it will be a smaller footprint, but it won't be insignificant. a securitybe presence in the region. gen. clapper: i agree. can you hear me all right? hink -- i will not dwell on the mideast right away. i think the biden administration will be consumed wit

problem with global consequences. it results from mismanaged waste usually starting on land and entering the ocean. american people see this on the coasts of the atlantic, pacific, and arctic oceans and on the shores of lakes and rivers. it's estimated that the direct economic impact of marine debris on apec economies and that includes our economy is over $10 billion a year, it harms eco systems and fishing industries through economic losses due to lost fishing gear known as ghost gear. and floating debris promotes marine hazards. one of the most common materials is plastic, exact as senator whitehouse noted current estimates more than 8 million tons added each year to use a different way of describing that, works out to a full garbage truck's worth of ocean entering the ocean every minute. i must note, mr. chairman, that the people's republic of china is the biggest offender responsible for nearly 30% of plastic waste, far more than any other country. the prc must address its own waste management issues, both land ba

on a global level, it is scary.ime minister of the how things are in the u.s., and how things are in europe and other parts of the world. it is very scary, and this is something -- no human being has control over. this may come back stronger or disappear. the good news that we have now found a vaccine for that, and hopefully, the vaccine will work. those are medical things. we hope it works and i pray the vaccine works and we see better in 2021. yousef: closing thoughts on the second part of the question, on the committee that is managing some of the real estate projects. in looking back over the last three or four months, would you say they've done good work? visibility, transparency, and importantly, have taken action to make sure this oversupply continued to get strained? forced: covid has everybody to stop, like it or not. the market situation, everybody realizes too much oversupply. the challenge is going to be in 2021 that we don't see improvement and we start dumping more supplies, and that is the risk. dumpi

it has not yet become a global health emergency. over the next few weeks the daily reports coming out of china went from unsettling to allow me. the 1st cases seem to have emerged in woo 100 the end of 2019 near away to market where live animals are sold and slows it in squalid conditions. it's here that a novel coronavirus is believed to have been transmitted from animals to humans and have claimed its 1st casualties. doctors treating this 1st cases in 100 central hospital try to alert the authorities but were arrested by the police and accused of spreading rumors. it was during chinese new year the country's biggest holiday and for the government in beijing this was not the time for bad tidings. reflects the 1st reflex of an offer or a tarion regime is to stifle and deny facts and to avoid risking panic they were eager to avoid interrupting festivities during new year the big national holiday with hundreds of millions of people travelling around the country. in china it's also a political ritual it's really pretty cheek. a few day

all countries come to still change the course of this pandemic the global reaction was at a scale with rarely seen before governments responded with a mix of chaotic politics and politicized scales with only some countries managing to put a method to the madness regardless of how they got there a significant number of countries went into lockdown with some cities and regions been put into actually until it was stunning how such wide ranging policy measures were brought into effect in such a short space of time especially when you consider that for decades has been a much bigger more threatening more long running crisis needing urgent global action. the 1st thing i'd say is that the climate crisis is such that it makes the culprit 19 and i mean really. george monbiot is a british journalist and activist whose focus is on the state of the climate and his son that is so much more threatening to our survival not least because it threatens our food supply and this is something we're discussing far too little of. the science pretty clear that between 3 and 4 degrees centigrade of global heat

in the case of the 2021 global of testimony and rapture. through the global unconscious embrace of the big client protocol we have only to refer back to the genesis block of january 3rd 2009 which states clearly chancellor on the brink of 2nd bailout which should have alerted everyone in the world that the days of money were going to be ending within the decade or $2.00 so here we are about a decade or slightly over the money in the central bank are all about to go extinct and we should it's going to cause ripples in disruptions for sure but on the other side of this is is rapture and i think we're going to all be excited as all heck there is always the turmoil right there's always chaos as one system falls our leader falls like a system say like the divine right of kings well when the french revolution happened that ended that notion and and you know there was a you could say chaos for quite a few decades after that but out of it came some light and ideals that we still live with today you know our us constitution is because of what they w

the coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on the global economy it's pushed back global efforts to reduce poverty improve livelihoods and health care now understandably nations of poured billions into shoring up health services but the recovery now that lockdowns are being lifted needs to take into consideration all of the global emergency climate change with temperatures hitting 100 degrees fahrenheit in siberia and the arctic circle the challenge couldn't be more dire let's put this into perspective because we can tackle poverty job creation and climate change at the same time to limit rising temperatures to below 1.5 degrees celsius 2.4 true. dollars a year needs to be spent on energy systems around the world until 2035 that's around 2 and a half percent of the world's economy the u.n. says the money is there because the international monetary fund says that governments of spent 10 trillion dollars in responding to the pandemic but more is needed despite that it's estimated that up to $100000000.00 people have been pushed into extreme poverty the i.m.f. says that further spen

group which we mentioned and according to an investigation by a group of global journalists called the cartel project police forces in mexico have even sold similar tools to drug cartels they were supposed to be tracking down so i'm curious what concerns you the most obvious corruption and bad governance or the fact that companies like n.s.o. group are able to do business with countries that have a dismal track record on human rights exactly i think sometimes these the narrative from technology companies that sell these phone surveillance software is that is a really black and white world with good byes and good guys and guys but the reality in places like mexico is that for example the line between organized crime and the government itself it's blurry or not excuse that most of the time so do end up with situations in which mouth over there is bought using as a as an excuse the security if you commission of a country is in i don't use books you can really use against society for example one of the cases you say about a human rights group that represents the families of more than 43 st

a lot of people in the media arguably often talk about extreme poverty being being focused on the global south it's not really a developed world problem what would you say to that. well very strikingly dick spirits of people in poverty is not very difference whether they live in an affluent country a rich country or or whether they live in in poverty in the global south they spearing it's usually abuse discrimination they have a sense of being powerless politically and marginalized economically and although their material conditions may be different they have the same experience of poverty that. made them. unable to really compete with others in society and so it is this this sense of much as they should that's the experience whether in norway in the u.k. or in uganda ok but if you did congratulate the global community on the putting more money into the welfare of people what do you make of the fact that lots of the money say here in britain has gone to companies strengthens the treasury here using the bank of england to to give money to come companies like chanel 600000000 luxury brands
