want to go to gordon chang, the great u.s.gordon, but on this potential protest over china's slave labor, all this building talk about maybe skipping the winter olympics there, we talked, i'm just wondering whether that's going to happen and what you think will happen. >> you know, in the past, neil, americans have talked tough on china, but done very little. what we're seeing now, i think, is a tipping point, and that came with the case of peng shuai , the tennis player because we saw the woman's tennis association pull its events from china. now there's a lot more than needs to be done but i think that there is now an appreciation that china will not move unless we impose great cost, so i do think that we are moving to a very different environment. neil: do we know where she is, what her status is? >> well she's obviously in the custody of the chinese central government and the communist party. she's not free to move, free to speak, and there are a number of indications that beijing is using her, because they are very concer

let's bring in gordon chang, columnist for "newsweek" and author of the book "the coming collapse ofply a bluff? >> we don't know what it will look like, ana. china has threatened similar measures in the past and not carried through. this time though is different. i think xi jinping the chinese ruler will actually impose some sort of costs on the u.s., but because china needs the u.s. now much more than we need them, these measures are not going to be substantial. got to remember that china is going two some really severe crises right now, especially the debt matter so i'm sure chinese leaders don't feel very secure. >> do you think that this is right move by the biden administration? does a diplomatic boycott send a strong enough message? >> i think that -- it's a step in the right direction. it has to occur, but i also think we should be trying to get the international olympic committee to move the games and there's a number of reasons. first of all, there's a question about the safety of athletes. with the disappearance of peng shuai, the tennis star, there's a real concern that a

joining me now is the gatestone institute senior fellow, gordon chang, the author of the great u.s.on't joe biden ask xi jinping about the origins of covid-19. they have disrupted an investigation. they won't allow outside investigators in to tell us what happened in wuhan. >> yeah, i don't know why biden won't but i do know one thing and that this is a dereliction of duty. 802,000 americans have died from this disease. we know that the chinese leadership deliberately spread this virus beyond china's borders. they lied about contagiousness and while locking down their own countries they were pressuring others not to impose travel restrictions and quarantines on you a rifles from china. -- arrivals from china. this is deliberate. that means joe biden has a constitutional responsibility to protect the united states and to press the chinese on this and if he doesn't want to do it, i don't know why. but if he doesn't want to do it, he should not be president. i think he has a constitutional responsibility to resign because he's not protecting us. maria: well, you're right, gordon. i mea

and this electoral change would be 5 the fiber optics, off the european court of human rights on discrimination and electoral process. we have other gordon each who sued and came in 2014, i believe for 8 years ago that the contribution of wagner needs to change. but the electoral reform pushes that have been going on right now. are more about fragments in the country than really about these changes because of the security crisis that's been going on. so the priority is, are not set up clearly or rather particular ethnic nationalist party, such as hard as they are the cry, democrats, the union are pushing for this change when the timing is just not right. if we've got well being of the country in total speaking of the constitution, here's what daughter had to say about it on it mostly, probably the allister douglas, you others have that views, but they also want peace to be maintained here. and i keep saying that i am not ready to sacrifice anything for peace and i am not ready to sacrifice peace for some struggle for the republic. sir sco pieces the way for a public. srp sca and not is it's policy not war, not conflicts near to me or not

gordon fox weather. well, this is the change what you would expect in december lots of snow in the sierra lots of rain here in the bay area, and that next system so far hasn't producing some scattered lights and moderate showers and made front still not in the area, but still enough to produce some rainfall across portions of the region, including. closer to with santa cruz. let's take a look at our live camera right now in santa cruz, where we have reports of some rainfall this afternoon, as you can see, looking out toward the looking out toward the ocean there. the pacific doesn't choppy conditions out there. winds have been picking up actually not to chopping the shot here, but theoretically, the wind should be picking up, especially in the coastline could be gusting over 30/40 miles an hour, so lots of cloud cover santa cruz potentially could get between about three quarters of an institute an inch of rainfall once the rainfall really develops. later on this evening and early tomorrow morning. now some of the expectations nice shot there. thank you. for that. with this system, rainfall could be on the

gordon brown in their early 40s. we had a large majority, the country was looking for change and it was an era when things were openingy to do new and different things, and those, for me, eight years in the treasury, they were undoubtedly the period of my life where i had the most influence and the most clout. we did budget after budget and spending review after spending review. the hardest thing i did politically was being a cabinet minister. the most satisfying was that but also the treasury years. but you have to be celebratory about that. i think to myself what an honour to have had the opportunity. we referred to it earlier that you were seen as a bruiser, often the word bullying was used, and you were seen as very aggressive for gordon brown against tony blair, is this a process? you talked about how when labour left government in 2010 you talked about how you almost had to consciously think, "i might have a midlife crisis, i have been going at 150 mph and my life is changing, even though i'm still important in politics, shadow chancellor, wanting to be chancellor," you had to make a conscious decision, is that

lorna gordon has been getting reaction to the new restrictions — in glasgow. among those facing these changesiness, resignation and acceptance. it's very difficult to know what the right thing to do is, but what we don't want to do is wait until we run out of hospital beds and then decide it's the right thing to do. two years down the line and nothings changed, so, yeah, pretty annoyed, but... nicola sturgeon said it remained a priority to reopen schools as normal after the holidays, and that one of the reasons for asking adults to make these sacrifices for a period after christmas is to minimise the impact on children's education. the aim is that 80% of those eligible will be fully vaccinated by the new year. the hope, that the booster will beat back the need for these restrictions to stay in place longer than the planned three weeks. back in westminster — the uk government has announced £ibillion in support for businesses — that's about $1.3billion. it's targeting hospitality and leisure businesses hit by the rise in cases. here's the chancellor of the exchequer. if you look at the grants w

gordon brown in their early 40s. he had a large majority in the country was looking for change and it was an era where things was openinght years in the treasury they were undoubtedly the period of my life where i had the most influence in the most clouds. we did budget after budget and spending with you and the hardest thing every day politically was being a cabinet minister. the most satisfying was that but also the treasury you have to be celebratory about that. i think to myself what an honour to have had the opportunity. irate think to myself what an honour to have had the opportunity. we refer to it earlier— have had the opportunity. we refer to it earlier that _ have had the opportunity. we refer to it earlier that you _ have had the opportunity. we refer to it earlier that you are _ have had the opportunity. we refer to it earlier that you are seeing - have had the opportunity. we refer to it earlier that you are seeing as| to it earlier that you are seeing as ability and he was seen as very aggressive and gordon brown against tony blair, is this a process he talked about how when labour left government in 2010

stories that we tend to change to serve a political purpose and so i felt like it was a really very beautiful explanation of the art of history. >> have you ever had professor gordon read on your product and cut podcast. >> yes and we talk about this book and she's great. >> and she was book tv's in depth guest last june and during that interview, we learned that in elementary school in her hometown, in texas has been named after her to ♪ ♪ powell. >> that was kind of anything, other parts book, what was it that it attracted you. >> so this is about a dozen pages and i can't remember, is a little more or little bit less so they think that for those who know she's a poet and fiction writer and she's in her early 30s, most people know that she died by suicide you think well, i'm the possibly be, biography about such a short-lived and what really surprised editors at the book review is that she had her car, pulls. it off and she makes the case why is important and this not one of her pieces that focuses on every single sweater somebody else house, but it really uses that space to explain what she did to defend her standing as an artist in her own rights and also to r

freely and wildly, it would change its form and those mutations could be more difficult to handle than the original variant. in october this year, former british prime minister gordon brown predicted just this, he said we in the west may feel safe and blessed at the moment because we have had the vaccines but we may find a new variant that comes out of africa or asia, where people have not been vaccinated and are not protected and it obviously isn't susceptible to the vaccines that we have at the moment. the solution was also utterly obvious, to vaccine the rest of the world and fast but that never happened. and the resulting disparities are stunning. close to 70% of the european union and about 60% of the united states have been fully vaccinated. and yet only about 8% of people in the world's poorest countries have received even one dose. earlier this year, this failure could be attributed to a problem of production and supply. but the world is now producing 1.5 billion doses of vaccine monthly. the problem has been one of distribution, or to put it bluntly, of the rich world hoarding vaccines at the expense of the poor. according to the health analytics company a

change in the middle east. this is a book with a seemingly narrow subject matter but it's really a broad book about america's engagement with the world. the author, philip gordoncurrently working in the white house, points out that throughout the middle east the u.s. has responded to periods of transition in complex societies, sometimes by intervening forcefully from iraq, sometimes as in limited ways as libya and sometimes virtually not at all, as in syria. all approaches failed and what ensued in almost all of the cases wa chaos, civil war, the rise of militias and humanitarian catastrophe. so maybe we should fundamentally rethink the whole idea of foreign intervention in these kinds of situations. perhaps the u.s. could play a better role by pushing for broad social and economic reforms from the outside and supporting locals when they choose to move down the right path. perhaps washington needs to recognize far more than it does even now the real limits of its power and influence. now, i should add if you are looking for a book to read or gift to somebody, my own ten lessons for post-pandemic world is out in paperback. as we emerge from the pandemic, it mak
