executive director at each of the international financial institutions that it is u.s. policy to ensure greater transparency in chinese government lending to countries that are also beneficiaries of those international financial institutions. specifically this bill would require the secretary to report annually to congress on the progress and advancing this policy and secondly lending to foreign countries by entities owned or controlled by the chinese government. we know international institutions include the international monetary fund, the i.m.f., the world bank and regional development banks. the i.m.f. leppeds to foreign couldn'tries in order to resolve balance of payment crises while the developmentment -- while the development banks finance projects with the long-term aim of alleviating poverty. with the greth of china's global presence there's concern that the developing nations that borrow from beijing will become overburdened, forcing them to be rescued by the i.m.f. or complicating the development bank's ability to properly underwrite loans for new projects. sp

. >> when the president talks about international institutions just wandering off the mandate that they have, the things that they were intended to do i think the whole world is k. see this isn't what the icc was set up for. it was about rogue regimes not institutions like america. when someone gets it wrong we hold our own accountability. would always will. we will not let them take on all the young men and women who served america. we will make sure that that doesn't happen. the american people should have confidence in president trump about this. pete: there will be no prosecutions of american soldiers. >> we will make sure this thing they call a court which is really a political body that we believe has now had the disinformation run at them, we are not going to let them take on americans. jedediah: secretary, i want to ask you about the taliban peace deal. i have been very skeptical whether or not this will be successful and have a positive impact at all. there has been a surge in violence following the peace deal. what can you tell the american people who are sitting at home and s

economies where the crisis well jake kovco her gaga is a senior fellow at the peterson institute for international economics is joining us on skype from washington d.c. we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed given the nature of the pandemic that the world is facing at the moment is it the right thing for governments to do to be focusing on stimulating the economy by supporting for example airlines and car companies. well i think that the main thing that governments have to do is to ensure that people have money in their pockets because basically certainly in a country like the united states where once you begin to rollover large quarantine measures a lot of people are going to lose their jobs and they're going to lose their source of income but they will still have mortgages to pay they will still have you know various other bills to pay food and the like and in the united states but you do not have access to general government paid sick leave or government instituted work sharing arrangements where the government will pay a large percentage of your wages to your employer to keep yo

god is a senior fellow at the peterson institute for international economics he says the u.s. aid package should include measures to ensure businesses continue to pay stuff and not just absorb the cash injection. there's always a risk particularly here in the united states that it is the sectors in the industries and the businesses with the biggest lobby operations and those that have the highest total political contributions that gets the government bailouts i would therefore much rather see that the u.s. government spent a lot of money on generating employment security by basically promising small or medium sized businesses that they would pay a significant percentage of the payroll of employees provided that burns didn't lay them off that chinese g.d.p. capital investment and other measures may have declined by as much as 20 percent. during this buyers' attack that's obviously very sobering in my opinion for many european countries right now where the virus is not particularly you know is actually national in scope which arguably it never was in china as well as the united

[applause] minute friends, president trump's team are not standing if this nonsense. we know the more the middle east embraces israel the more the future will be. that's why we've taken action against those who want to weaken israel. [applause] we've enacted the strongest pressure company in history to deprive the diplomatic sanctuary or money for terror. [applause] we -- we rallied nations in our own hemisphere here in the western hemisphere and in europe to declare hezbollah a terror organization in its entirety.

and three, international institutions like the imf and the world bank and others need to come togetheravailable to countries in need. meanwhile in the united states, congressional negotiations have struck a deal to allocate over $8 billion in emergency funds to combat coronavirus. that is according to a house of representatives democratic aide front of the money will be used to develop things like vaccines and test for the disease. representatives are set to wednesday on the funding paving the way for final action by the senate later this week. meanwhile, asian central banks and governments have been under a lot of pressure to respond especially after that some praise rate cut by the united states with the central banks in australia and malaysia have also cut rates by 25 basis points while the bank ofjapan has taken measures to provide liquidity to financial markets. and it is expected to announce more steps and next week. but the b0] is ina steps and next week. but the b0] is in a difficult position. japan has said negative interest rates for yea rs said negative interest rates for ye

his senior fellow at the singapore institute of international affairs he's joining us now from the malaysian capital plan and 1st of all i had to mohamed challenging the legitimacy of the new prime minister is this they're desperate to attempt of a drowning man or does he actually have a point or he would have here that not them are you currently would have. made your review so ready. i think that made your review was perhaps cobbled together. a bit late now and b. if you had a site normally you can cite what's the brits and the malaysian ringback being. and not the least of all parliamentarians. sorry. malaysia is the parliament feet democracy saw. in perhaps what have. you cited and. the power is there you. also. post. but i'll just say the king is with the site it is very complex there revolving door in the shifting alliances in malaysian politics but tell me what difference does it actually make having the leader of best satu coalition as prime minister and bringing oh no back to power as part of a coalition what kind of difference is this new era of deans a prime ministership to that of

scientist based in the south korean capital of seoul where he's director general of the international vaccine institute drove kim thank you for joining me up front as the corona virus throws the entire world into unprecedented chaos south korea has been hailed as a success story as a model even for the rest of the world is that a fair description in your view so i think that every country will have its own approach you know the chinese exerted pretty draconian government control over movement of people it but then did the same thing that the koreans are doing they practice social distancing they aggressively pursued a test treat isolate and. policy they track people down if they could find them they close schools and they can all these things are things that the koreans did they never the korean government never shut down restaurants and that you know i think is kind of interesting it's never walled up but city and again when the koreans heard that they should stay at home and practice social distancing people by and large did so so so what specifically is it the south koreans done that has helped keep

schools, reaching young people and i think it's also very important that the trade unions institute more internal education amongst their membership, you know,i don't know the exact figures, pretty good percentage of union members have voted for antiunion politicians recently including our president. not my president, but -- [laughter] >> somebody's president. so i think those are very important -- but i think we also need popular education and community education. one of the things that i touch on very briefly in let them tremble but not a whole lot the communist's party network of institutions like the jefferson school for social sciences which at its peak i think has somewhere in the ballpark 8 to 10,000 enrollees every semester and so if we had that type of network, again, i think we'd see a much different movement and there would be more young people that would understand this history. you know, i think back in research on the jefferson school for social sciences and historians like herbert in the 1930's and 40's were teaching about african-american slave revolts and no one else was talking

it's also very important that the trade unions institute more internal education amongst their membership't know the exact figures but i know a pretty good some and percentage of union members that voted for antiunion politicians recently including our president, not my president but somebody's president. i think those are very important. i think we need popular education and community education, one thing i touch on very briefly and let them trouble, but not a whole lot is a communist party network of popular education institutions like the jefferson school for social science which at its peak is a ballpark of 8 - 10000 enrollees every semester. that is a pretty advanced network of community popular education. so if we had that network again i think we would see a much different movement and there would be more young people that would understand the history. i think back in my research on the jefferson school for social science, historians like herbert in the 1930s and 40s was teaching about african-american and no one else was talking about it except for the commonest so i think that is

i am the director of the boston institute for international public affairs and i am so delighted to be here today to celebrate "killer high". as a student of chinese affairs are hardly have to be told about the important of the relationship between drugs and war. of course i know the intensity of feelings in china about the century of humiliation that begin with the opium war but at the same time, it is easy for a lot of people including myself to think of something like the opium war as in the mom and we or something very particular to a time and place and i have to say i'm guilty of thinking about the opium war that way. a truly great scholarship like killer height and a lot of the work done at the boston institute forces us and me too see the world in a totally new way. this book has forced me and all readers to focus on the internal and incredibly expansively relationship between drugs and war. that relationship extends from war conducted by people who were often on a form of drug, some kind of psychoactive substance, it extends towards an con quest of drugs in the mom material, it

and also that they are now international institutions, when i went to university several decades ago,alk around university towns now and and it is wonderful to see the variety of students that they are attracting from all over the world and obviously that is something that the coronavirus, it isa something that the coronavirus, it is a global outbreak him i will have an impact. and we don't know, there are signs that it is stabilising in china. so they would have picked before hand whereas if you're coming to university in the uk, there is to catch up. that delay or maybe com plete catch up. that delay or maybe complete cancelling of the degrees will have a severe hit on the coffers as well. let's turn to the front page of the daily mail. we will be told to work from home if you can. that is the key question. if you can. now, for people who work in large companies, this is probably the sensible precaution to take and for somebody like me who can work on a laptop from almost anywhere, it is not going to affect me. if you are self—employed for example, this will be quite difficult. your

there e are quite a a few embmbs around the arerea and international institutions that are in the samerea. particularly around the embabasy itselflf there is quite a big barrier betweween the e embassyd other buildings and a buffer zone with lots of security. it appears that the explosion happened in that area and not necessarily anything where -- anywhere close to the embassy. >> reporting from tunis. at least 27 people have been killed and a dozen have been wounded in kuabul. responsibilityy for the attack on the gathering, which marks the anniversary of the death of an ethnic leader. let us speak to margo. what is the latest in regards to that attack. the numbers of casualties have kept risising rapidly overr the past couple of hours. the latest ones given by the ministry of h health recentntly confirirmed that 27 people were killed and 55 others at least were wounded. a community leader was in the middle of a speech when suddenly gugunshots were heard, and we kw that several of the men attacked the gathering. several opposition political leaders were present including the governmen

we talk to the founder of a local institution that is an international known study for bio ethics. staying home will slow the spread of covid-19 and, doubt, save lives.a critical things like food, pharmacies, laundromats and more remain available. those who work in health, food supply and law enforcement will continue to perform their jobs. programs like paid sick leave, unemployment, and ot ifo e ho, keep six feetween you o we are in isher. ad19.ca >>> hello and welcome to mosaic. now, jennifer your face may be familiar, you are frequently interviewed on television, you are a medical profession by originalwou are the president of the center of study bio ethics in pleasant hill ca. are you a local girl? did you grow up here? how did you get to california? >> i have been here since high school. ied a third generation. i was a critical care nurse at uc san francisco. i did practice nursing for almost 20 years before founding the center for bio ethics and culture. >> 20 years ago you founded it? >> yes, i can't believe it, but it has been 20 years. time flies. >> definitely. what caus

institution should be formative of the people in them is at the heart of our loss of faith in institutions. it's internt the heart of our broader social crisis because institutions understand is platforms rather than molds stages to perform on more than as means to form and shape our character are less able to offer the subjects of loyalty, source of legitimacy, waives the building usual trust. examples of this kind of transformation for multiplatform are everywhere around us want to start looking for them. in many cases our institutions are being made into platforms not just for any performance but for a kind of performative virtue and performative outrage in that vast polarized culture war that so much of our society is living through. in one institution after another we find people who ought to think of themselves as insiders shaped by distinct purpose and integrity of the institution they are in instead functioning as outsiders displaying themselves building their own personal brand. this is obvious in politics because if there's any doubt the donald trump sees the presidency as a stage for perform

remove the authority of international courts international institutions over russian law including the european court of human rights that. be indicated the case of alex a nobleman who crossed over through all the very next against him if the new constitutional changes also does allow people who live outside of russia to run for electoral office and for president. particular so in that sense in that sense if anything those constitutional changes are going in the direction that opposition parties that proposition barnabus and politicians. cannot participate in the election you mentioned going to stop you know you mention the valmy data so that those a problem with with opposition in parliament and potential in the parliamentary vote but what about people power street protests. well i mean that's the x. factor at this point is that we saw with the. moscow affair last summer the arrests that followed that and the unprecedented civil society opposition to that that there is this this push back i mean the notion of the russian people as passive is are unwilling to kind of take authoritarian

we simply could not do what we do without the national democratic institute, the international republican institute. they are funded directly, of course, through the national endowment for democracy. but they are often funded to the companies that we are working with through grants and cooperative agreements with usaid. when we are in these countries we also of course the broader evidence of your good work and your engagement. the contributions you make to almost l:m countries. and as you might expect we may have some specific ideas about the treatment of these countries in your budget and will be wanting to work with you on that. we do look out for these countries and we value their transition to democracy and sometimes how fragile that can be. speaking of which, i want to ask you about central america. when a country is in bad shape, where citizens are free for their lives, it seems that it would be in our national interest to try to address the root causes of this out migration. and to fund programs, often through your agency, that seek to do that. but that isn't what we have seen in t
