with hindsight, i mean, was really striking to me as i tried to recount that period. and i think it did it did strike me as a lost opportunity that the west did not provide more economic assistance, particularly in those very early years. i'm talking, you know, early 1990s when there really was a moment, i think, to step in. and i think political considerations elections in the united states got in the way to some extent i mean you can argue both ways that if the west had stepped up and provided more economic assistance to, russia during that period, maybe some of that money would have been stolen. you know, because of the corruption that ensued that we saw unfold over the the rest of the 1990s. but i do think that it was such a huge moment and there wasn't any kind of massive financial assistance help mitigate some that economic trauma that, i think helped give rise to a leader like putin and. you know, obviously, yeltsin was a very complex hearted figure with his own, you know, a drinking problems and the like. but that there wasn't enough attention paid to the sort

it is so easy to look with hindsight at things that could have been differently. i did note that jeffrey sachs who is a controversial figure when it comes to russia, he had advised the yeltsin government early on and he was calling for a marshall plan for russia. massive economic assistance. it is unclear if it would've made a difference but i do think we did not rise to the challenge in the moment. plan. i know when i was interviewing people for the book i wrote on us-russian relations. i mean, the russians i talked to said it would have made a big difference. and the us answer to that was, well, you know, the ussr collapsed. congress would never have voted on this. and you know, we moved on to other things. so i think you're right there. i'm not sure much influence we could have had over the schemes that you describe well in the books. first of all, the privatization and then the loans for shares, which was, you know, when they thought the yeltsin was going to lose the election. and so the oligarchs got together and and raised money for him. and then, you know,

so we talk about hindsight, defining moments in the past. and so with a little bit of time that we have left, i want us to look into the future and. you know, we think about where we've been, where we are and this, you know, really idea of of soft troops and women. soft, right. so, you know, the definition of of the first soft truths being humans are more important than hardware. it goes on to talk about, you know, the right people, not the right men, not the right women, the right people in, the right teams going to do great things. and the second soft truth then goes on to. talk about the idea of equality, quantity, right? and so we can continue to compound this concept when it comes to women in soft and just the area which we can add value right in the past and currently and then thinking about where are we going to add that value the future, how is it going to evolve especially under standing that we're we're really focused on this you know this triad of of soft right that's where we're at right now. and when we think about capability se

>> sure, i think they acted maybe a little more slowly than looking back, hindsight is 20/20 that woulde been-- i don't think that would have made much difference, had a lot of uncertainty at the time. nobody had done this before. there wasn't a pandemic playbook for monetary policy, right? they faced the top choice of balancing the risk and maybe they acted a couple months later than they could have in terms of, you know, tapering off some of the emergency programs they were doing. but i think fundamentally, the result would have been the same because so much of it was supply driven. >> let's talk to callers and start on the line for democrats, owingings mills, married, you're on-- maryland, you're on the air. >> good morning, i listen to conservatives like david stockman who said that donald trump spent $8 trillion and i'm looking at the numbers for the end of 2024, we have 4.1% unemployment rate. we have 16 million jobs, consumer price index at 3.3 and now we've got and i think the gdp is at 2.8. i'm taking-- i'm paying attention to the numbers so i'll see what happens hopefully if i

so we talk about hindsight, defining moments in the past. and so with a little bit of time that we have left, i want us to look into the future and. you know, we think about where we've been, where we are and this, you know, really idea of of soft troops and women. soft, right. so, you know, the definition of of the first soft truths being humans are more important than hardware. it goes on to talk about, you know, the right people, not the right men, not the right women, the right people in, the right teams going to do great things. and the second soft truth then goes on to. talk about the idea of equality, quantity, right? and so we can continue to compound this concept when it comes to women in soft and just the area which we can add value right in the past and currently and then thinking about where are we going to add that value the future, how is it going to evolve especially under standing that we're we're really focused on this you know this triad of of soft right that's where we're at right now. and when we think about capability se

hindsight is 2020. we will be debating this for generations to come.s another alternative universe which will give you some pause. suppose that shortly after garland had come into office they stood up criminal investigation. i do not think donald trump would've held onto the documents he had it mar-a-lago if he had been under an active criminal investigation. i do not think alvin bragg would've charged his criminal case in manhattan and i don't think bonnie willis would've charged a criminal case in georgia so that means we could've had one and only one criminal prosecution of trump and probably the one the country really needed which was a federal prosecution of trump over the 2020 election. i have no idea if joe biden or kamala harris would've won us that process had played out. i actually think we would be looking at president-elect nikki haley quite possibly so this is not an effort to help out the white house or anything. my view is that these political dynamics could've played out very differently if the legal process had been accelerated and the

with hindsight, do you think that was a mistake not to go in harder than we did? believe it was a mistake. it resulted in the assad regime being forced to a certain degree tojoin the being forced to a certain degree to join the can weapons convention and admit to a chemical arsenal and a stockpile that they had denied for years and years. and i think allowing the 0ecpw to have oversight and insight into that stockpile and programme with more effective than any military activity could have been because in addition to the 1300 tonnes of chemical weapons that were declared as ultimately destroyed with international verification, having them be apart, having the syrian regime be a part of the syrian regime be a part of the chemical weapons convention allowed for inspectors, it allowed for inspectors, it allowed for inspectors, it allowed for oversight and access to the facilities that... access to the facilities that - -_ access to the facilities that... �* ., that... but as you said cam of the continue _ that... but as you said cam of the continue to _ that... but as

i'm just wondering, looking, which is a wonderful part of hindsight, is whether there were things that the justice at the time i don't know frankly regrets about how. they put that together whether are pieces of it that, you know, the political system like took and ran with that made that their jobs a lot harder to actually do what they needed to do and if they had known it had been like that they might have tried to approach it differently. yeah it's again mueller is this vietnam, you know, war hero, fbi director, post-9-11, this sort of impeachable, unimpeachable reputation. and i want to move very i don't want to spend all this time talking about this stuff, but the mueller investigation worked. rod rosenstein, if you remember these names, he was the deputy attorney general. he oversaw the investigation. and he protected mueller trump attacked, mueller, trump did all this unprecedented stuff on twitter and trump's successfully got you know, a big chunk of the country. and most republicans did not trust mueller even before the report came out. no had ever dared interfere in a crimina

. >> in the lens of hindsight, i absolutely would have done things differently had i known what was going to happen in october. >> we need to learn more about exposures in the military, not just in combat, but in training. >> this wasn't one breakdown. this was a series of mistakes. and all of these put together put us on the track to lewiston. >> (mouthing) >> narration: now, as part of frontline's local journalism initiative... breakdown in maine. >> frontline is made possible by contributions to your pbs stations from viewers like you. thank you. and by the corporation for public broadcasting. additional support is provided by the abrams foundation, committed to excellence in journalism... park foundation, dedicated to heightening public awareness of critical issues... the john d. and catherine t. macarthur foundation, committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. more at macfound.org. the heising-simons foundation, unlocking knowledge, opportunity, and possibilities. learn more at hsfoundation.org. and by the frontline journalism fund, with major support from jon and

>> you're asking 2020 hindsight or what my thought was?ssurance that everything was okay as opposed to digging in and saying, how do we know this? i didn't have a preconceived notion on the damage or the possible consequences, and i needed to wait for them to complete their work. >> the best experts at our disposal concluded that it was a minor problem, not a significant problem. and when you added all that up there was no need to take pictures to document any evidence because we believed it to be superficial and it to be a turnaround issue and not a safety issue. and so we didn't take any pictures. >> had we known that there was a catastrophic situation on orbit we certainly would have done everything we could. absolutely i i'm not aware of anybody else during the mission asking for a photo request. >> and when i only learned later that there really were people outside of our team that were trying to do something about it. >> i had no idea what was happening because there was no communication. i'm not in the loop. i'm not in the know nobo

it is easy to make assertions like this with hindsight, knowing what we know now about what has beenntemporaneous documentation, it can be seen exactly why it was reasonable for ms vennells to make this statement, and it was not out of a corrupt hotel. so far as ms vennells is aware, she had a competent head of it and a competent general counsel on whom she believed she was entitled to rely. taking over the helm of post office at the time of separation from rmg, as we have heard, was a gargantuan task. it is simply not possible to delve personally into each matter raised, no realistic that she would have the expected —— the expertise in all disciplines to do so. why should she not have been entitled to trust this crichton, mr young and mrs ewell to give her the unvarnished position? ms vennells had no background in it and was never employed by post office in an it role. post post office in an it

and >>>>looking back in hindsight, there was a lot of questions of whether or not. nima mehmeti should take the stand in this case. did it help or hurt the the defense? >>>>yeah, i think he really had to take the stand because the defense was self defense. there was nobody else that could testify for him that he acted in self defense. so i really think there was there was no choice. if nima mehmeti had not testified, this jury quite possibly could have come back a lot sooner with the guilty verdict. so >>>>take us through what's next. i know we have to go through sentencing, and we're also expecting some appeals from the defense also. >>>>go go go go go go go. yes. so what happens now is the case will be referred for an evaluation probably by the probation office for a report on nima momeni. they will look at his background and any prior convictions and any criminal history he may have, which is really very minimal. they will write a report and then both the defense and the prosecution will write a sentencing memorandum outlining what sentence they think is fair and

so it is very dangerous for us, especially for budget hindsight.n: there has been many a year in france when the so-called republican front has existed. when i talk about the republican front, i mean the main political paies have joined together to minimize the chances of the far-right winning an election. i noticed tonight that mr. barnier when he got to his feet, was criticized because he has negotiated a fair way with marine le pen and has brought her into the mainstream. is that a fair criticism? guest: i think it is not a fair criticism, in fact, this so-called republican front, it is cynical. because when you see for instance that the former italian minister o health has been elected in his country because there was no left opening to him. so really, it has been something that has shocked the french, because we saw that the so-called front, was in fact a cynical alliance which will not last. so i think it's a very bad thing for democracy, because they really cheated the score. that is what i think this so-called front will not happen again, b

with hindsight do you think that was a mistake not to go in harder than we did?t believe it was a mistake. it resulted in the assad regime being forced to join the chemical weapons convention and admit to chemical arsenal, a stockpile they denied for years and years and allowing the opcw to have oversight and insight into the stockpile and into that program was more infected is more effective than any military activity could have been because in addition to the 1300 tons of chemical weapons declared and destrod with international verification, having the syrian regime be part of the chemical weapons convention allowed for inspectors, allowed for oversight and access to facilities -- >> as you said, they continue to produce these materials and used it again in 2017 which is why donald trump home to the sites where it was being produced. to an extent it did not work should >> i understand your point that of the other is an amount of continuing capacity that proceeded beyond their joining the chemical weapons convention. even with military intervention, chemical wea

oh, hindsight, sweet hindsight. yes, he's arguing here to beat trump. and he also said that he was.se merrick garland as attorney general, because he didn't prosecute trump early enough for january 6th. so yeah, i mean, it's biden's claim. it's absurd. i mean, trump won a crushing victory. the senate, the house, the popular vote, he wouldn't have won. i do believe, personally, he'd have done better than harris. but there's also the harris camp who say, no, no, the problem was you waiting too long before withdrawing, which is also a valid argument, but i feel that it was just a bad scene. no, no democrat want to get involved? no, it's hillary didn't get involved and michelle obama didn't get that involved. and gavin newsom, i just think they all knew, oh, let's give it to kamala and she'll lose. i just think they knew it was a loser either way. and it was just trump's time. >> yeah. the way he presented himself during the 2020 election was as this kind of holding a hold over president, he would like hand it up. the fact that he didn't do what he said that he didn't do what he said th

things that as in hindsight, hindsight's 2020 as they say you would have done differently the first time around. as we look ahead to the potential not to. i don't want to fear monger, but there is the potential of another pandemic here with the bird flu. what do you think the lessons learned should be applied to that? and what should we all be doing right now? i mean, should we just avoid it's the holidays? should we avoid gathering with a lot of people? what do we do now? >> i think to me, testing is fundamental because i have my children test and i have the grandchildren test because we're still protecting people. my grandma, my mother is 96. she hasn't gotten covid. she's been in a multigenerational household. so all of these things are possible if you give people the information that they need to protect each other. and i think of what we learned, anything from the last pandemic, education is much more important than mandating mandated at the beginning, because we had nothing. but as soon as we had tests, you can see we had the reopen america in april, and it was all about now testin

looking back on it you could probably see signs in hindsight of data might have used. if you are not in this secret society, you don't know. and i didn't know. >> someplace like one of 80 pounds and then later they were to have 50 pounds we didn't suspect maybe they were doing something in usual? >> yes. >> your 6'4". traditionally shortstops are more my height. you came along people didn't want people like me to be shortstop anymore. you change the game of baseball icing shortstops should be big and better hitters, or are they going back to the old mode of being fast but not great hitters? >> a lot of the shortstops, derek jeter being one of them, we credit for opportunities they otherwise maybe wouldn't have had. derek would have carved out his own path. but i did move from third to short. i was 6'2", 180 pounds coming out of heisel. i had a late growth spurt, almost three inches. by the time i got to the big leagues, i was almost 6'5", 220 pounds. they put me at third base but then earl weaver had this vision that i could play shortstop and we would be a better team

cal: looking back on it you could probably see signs in hindsight that players might have used when youre playing. but if you are not in the secret society, yougov no and i didn't know. david: some players were like 180 pounds and then later there pound you didn't suspect maybe they were doing something unusual? cal: yes. [laughter] david: your 6'4". traditionally shortstops are more my height and when you came along people didn't want people like me to be shortstops anymore. did you change the game of baseball by saying shortstops should be big and better hitters, or is that going back to the old motive of being fast but not great hitters? cal: derek jeter gives me credit for my success in the position as a bigger shortstop that gave them opportunities they may be otherwise wouldn't have had. but i think derek would have carved out his own path. i did move from third to short. i was 6'2", 180 pounds coming out of faisal. i had a late growth spurt, almost three inches. i put on five to eight pounds a year. by the big leagues i was almost 6'5", 220. they put me at third base but earl wea

the big proven or viruses you can use hindsight. i think you have to actually watch it. fashion way because it's harder to kill by just alcohol hand sanitizers. all right. >> wash your hands, cover your mouth. would also expect a few changes when you say disease specialist ucsf, thanks for all the tips. good to see you. have the east. >> chp in marin county sees nearly 30 pounds of marijuana and a handgun during a traffic stop over the weekend. officers shared this photo with us. they pulled the car over because of expired registration. they found dozens of bags of marijuana in the car. the driver was arrested and booked into jail on gun and drug related charges. >> developing over the weekend, daly city police spent most of saturday negotiating with the woman accused of lunging at them with a knife. we have video from the scene. this happened after police responded to a domestic disturbance report that house on 88th street officers say moments after they showed up the woman charged at them with a knife, then locked herself in the hole. police negotiators and swat team m

in hindsight, the power of assad ended gradually. and then it ended sudden. i'm breaking off in berlin. this is the day i, it's the highest, it's clear to the chapter for syria has not yet been written in the outcome of the revolution as syria is not set. syrians have a georgia comp take for nearly 14 years. they deserve a political verizon that will deliver a peaceful future, not more flood should come off necessary and citizens. we hired for security and safety across all of syria to live in peace and comfort without any extended interference. also coming up, alleged in climate for the uncovered by dw. tonight, we have evidence that carbon credit's worth more than a 1000000000 euros did not actually help curb greenhouse gases. setting up a real project cost tens of millions where it's vacant and project just purely on paper. like out of seen air, you only need to forge of basket of new documents and you gain hundreds of millions of heroes and return on to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and of all of you around the world. welcome. we begin

i wish in hindsight, we could have just asked for a continuance to effectuate the plea, but that did not happen and that was understandably upsetting to miss banks. and when we asked about banks feeling excluded from the process, the trial attorney and the attorneys, because unfortunately, we had to switch attorneys midway. they both spent a lot of time with miss banks, visiting courtrooms on the telephone. we also have an advocate that worked very closely with her. i can remember asking, you know, do you want to sit down with me so i can give you details like so you can hear it from me so you understand who i am? and she said, no, everything is in the system. banks says the trauma has taken a toll on her mental health. there are a lot of days that i don't get out of bed that are not productive anymore. she insists she did everything she could to be involved in her case, and can't imagine what other, less involved victims experience. i have to fight because i got to fight for the next little girl this happened to, so that she's not sitting here for the rest of her life having problem

so, in hindsight, this was the best professional decision of your life, i assume?: maybe the best decision of my life. i'm not sure you need to put professional in that. david: so, you go there, and what is your job at apple? tim: running worldwide operations, and the company at that time was struggling in many different areas, and operations was no different. our economies of scale didn't lend itself to us doing manufacturing in different places like existed in the company at that time. and so, we found partners that were expert at manufacturing. and we maintained sort of the intellectual knowledge of how, the process. david: but when you got there and you're working for steve, was it better than you thought? worse than you thought? more challenging than you thought? tim: i found it to be liberating, is the way i would describe it, because you could kind of talk to steve about something very big and if it resonated with him, he would just say, "ok." and you could do it. and so, it was like a, you know, like a total revelation for me that a company could run like t

looking back now, in hindsight, 2020, if we had known that irresponsible politics would have killed whatious effort, a meritorious result, perhaps we would have taken executive action more rapidly. >> because republicans argue in this back and forth over whose job it is to fix the problem, congress would argue there was executive authority that could have been used before congress legislated. and they point back to the crisis starting at day one when trump era immigration policy was peeled back, remain in mexico, the 100 day moratorium on most deportations that was announced, the halt to wall construction. did those measures and i know you weren't yet in office personally, but did those measures set you up for failure? >> remember something, remain in mexico is touted as the great panacea, the trend lines of migration were increasing quite exponentially from 2018 to 2019, and that is reflected worldwide. and then the covid-19 pandemic hit. remember something also about the executive action that the president took in may -- in june of this year. we also over time built capabilities that w

looking back on it, you could probably see signs in the hindsight of players that might abuse, but whenou're playing, if you are not in the secret society, you don't know and i didn't know. david: some players were 180 pounds and then later 250 pounds. you didn't expect -- suspect maybe they were cal: doing something unusual? cal:yes. david: you are 6'4" and traditionally shortstops were more my height. when you came along people didn't want people like me to be shortstops anymore. so, did you change the game of baseball by saying shortstop should be big and better hitters, or was it going back to the old being fast and baseball steelers but not hitters? cal: a lot of shortstops, derek jeter being one of them, is a bigger shortstop they gave them opportunities that may be otherwise they wouldn't have. i kinda think that they are carved out your own path. i did move from period to short. i was six foot 2, 180 when i came out of high school and i had a late growth spurt. a put on five to eight pounds a year. by the time i got to the big leagues i was six or 5, 220. they put me at third ba

so that's easy to say with hindsight. well, you know, it's, go back to ali with the, you know, i, i started out with you around, but i mean, a country that is very, very weak, obviously is web and on. i mean, i, i could for c, considering the instability in the region, that there would be an attempt verbage, even change in be root. that's what i'm not sure you can apply that some resume change to buy your uh, you know, living on zillow, lebanese government comes in and out the presidency. there's a really eventually the good point. good. good point. good point. good point. good point. but um, when it comes there have been fees raised about to his radius resuming their war on $11.00 on the hosp to the exploration of these 60 day period. which is that period where the steps shouldn't be taken to start the implement been enforced, they cease fire. the argument is based on the assumption that the, the full size strength is israel hand weakens principal law. so therefore here's where can seize the opportunity and the only not

this is to say that it was, it was not wise that that's easy to say with hindsight. well it, you know, it's, go back to ali. oh the, you know, i, i started out with you around, but i mean, a country that is very, very weak. obviously is web and on. i mean, i, i could for see, considering the instability in the region that there would be an attempt for machine change in be root is what i'm not sure you can apply that some resume change to buy your uh, you know, living on zillow. let me stop and comes in and out the presidency that you mentioned in the good point. good, good point. good point. good point. good point. but um, when it comes there has been fee is raised about to his radius resuming their war on $11.00 on to the exploration of these 60 day period. which is that period where the steps should be taken to start to implement that enforced. they cease fire. the argument is based on the assumption that the, the full strength is israel hand weakens because of the law. so therefore his world can seize the opportunity and the only not counselor to has the law. pers
