indeed, support for self-determination's and their incorporation into institutions of international governments where the two main elements of the international order that the united states did go on established at the end of world war ii. can i say world war ii here at the world war i museum? of course, what fdr did not sufficiently account for his attention at the center of the u.s. advocacy, and the tension is this. what if a nation determines to take a path that is not aligned with u.s. interests? in other words, what do you choose when the principle of self-determination clashes with other principles that you hold dear? already by the late 1940's, washington chose what it saw as the containment of cognizant what it saw as support for self-determination, most prominently when it chose to back the french in indochina, and when the french lost the war from the united states took it over itself. in vietnam is just one example. throughout the post-world war ii decades, the principles of support for self-determination remain prominent even while policy often flouted in practice in the name of co

for one last question. this comes fiona who asks, with segmentation of multilateral international institutions, how will theu.s. not only strengthen but re- incentive by nations to revamp these organizations and strengthen their power? >> guest: that is a wonderful question, i will take first crack and i'm sure rebecca will want to add some thoughts heret hereto. the first part of the answers ultimately many americans and frankly in some cases russian china of the world brought into existing they might not all agree on the exact agenda that lights the way forward, many of them i very much committed to the idea of the institutions should survive. that is in and of itself a basis too begin renovation. when it comes to questions whether to continue to consider the un security council reform, we see a need for the united states not only work closely with allies and partners in the japan's and germany's of the world, to frankly try to strike bargains with places like india who constitute a finnish state and international politics. he viewed the trade and economics may not be firmly aligned with our own, may we w

far, no other country has implemented the norwegian system into rules for their own international teams. we asked the english instituteervices to british olympic and paralympic sports, if they would consider adopting the norwegian health certificate system. they told us that their individual approach to working with an athlete on a more personal basis is a more suitable approach to providing support. and said just under 1% of recent referrals under the athlete medical scheme were for eating disorders but noted that this figure only shows part of the picture. so, should british sports adopt a far tougher, interventionist approach to eating disorders? ed warner was chair of uk athletics from 2007—2017. i think it's a great idea. a lot of money goes into elite sport in britain. a very, very small proportion of that devoted to a system of health checking, of that nature, i think it would be money well spent. and money mightjust be part of the problem. since 1997, cash from the national lottery fund has revolutionised elite british sport. the money is delivered by a government organisation, uk sport. they award funding to

for ethics and international affairs. for those of us in the carnegie family of institutions, we have a special affection for david. his biography of andrew carnegie published in 2006 was a life-changing event for us. through david's work, we've come to know andrew carnegie in all of his humanity and complexity, and there's one lesson from the book that really stayed with me and has animated my work at the carnegie council, and that is the -- as david would put it -- cashty's -- carnegie's cock-eyed optimism was not entirely misplaced. for all the madness we see in the world, progress based on reason and a can-do spirit is, indeed, possible. that idea keeps me going, and this occasion gives me the opportunity to say thank you, david. in addition to the carnegie biography, david's previous books include prize-winning biographies of joseph p. kennedy and william randolph hearst. today we talk of david's latest book, the over one million displaced persons who emerged brutal used yet alive on v-e day, april 1945. the last million is an epic story that takes us right into the heart of europe during and after world war i
