there's a lot of internal contradictions within this liberal international order and as the international distribution of power has been shifting away from the west and towards the rest of the world i guess upholding pension money relies more and more on course of its power that it's not just military power that everybody can only sign it and nothing else important i mean that means. a liberal order as defined by the washington consensus means you have to use coercion i mean what value is that in itself violence of a demon rapidly running out of time then. well there was a book published recently on this issue of the office and xander cooley and then next and there the title of the book is exit from hegemony on revenue and all of them magic and all the all of that and the 2 office abio that basically this so-called liberal international or that is maintained by some very illegal ringback means i mean pressure on china demonizing russia basically alienating the contessa like iran when you're so ally and a lot of other important independent countries and the biggest question is legalize the

national governments are focused on self interest, not international cooperation, and that could spellter for the world's most vulnerable people if and when the virus spreads through their communities. well, my guest today is the former uk foreign secretary, now president of the international rescue committee, david miliband. in this age of coronavirus, is the world getting the leadership it needs? david miliband, welcome to hardtalk. thanks very much, good to be with you. this terrible pandemic represents a huge challenge right across the world. if we are to generalise massively at the outset of this interview, how do you feel the international community is handling the response? to generalise, badly. we know that some countries have handled the disease well. germany springs to mind. south korea as well, but we know that there has been far too much what i would call denialism, too much head—in—the—sandism, too much "hoping for the best" and not enough of the kind of grip and unified action that is important, both in some countries — i'm talking to you from the united states where the

plus a new report shows a record number of internally displaced people still on able to return to their homes it's as extreme weather events and natural disasters are pounding the effects of war and conflict. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us the british public will hold a minute's silence today to pay tribute to frontline workers who have died after contracting co that 19 the government has announced it will make 860000 pound compensation payment that's almost 70000 euros to families of health workers and social care staff who die fighting the outbreak after years of underfunding and now a severe lack of personal protective equipment the pandemic has laid bare the crisis within the u.k.'s national health system. and nor has he found that protects him from coronavirus dr assays munaf almost feels guilty every time a long. he's an emergency doctor so he does have access to past not protective equipment or people. but supplies across the u.k. are very limited than simply aren't enough gowns for every doctor i want to go to get treated to. a conscious of what you said to y

they want international cooperation to deal with this.ave seen talk from the governors in the states. they want international cooperation. and i think there is something of a misunderstanding here. when we talk about the world health organization, we are talking about a network of networks. we are talking about one group that is searching with a global funding for the vaccine and for the cure, another group that's looking at therapeutics, another looking at diagnostics, another looking at what we can do to help the poorest countries. now, i don't actually think america's going to pull out of help in these areas. i think this is domestic politics coming through into international actions. but i do think that when we start looking at pledging on health, we can go around the world, starting with the european union, britain, norway, then japan, then canada, then korea, then africa pressing for it, and i do think that we will get the funds in that are necessary over the next few weeks, and i do think it is a test of whether, in our generation'

i think another issue go why internal displacement has been under the radar to some extent. i've been because it's been seen as the responsibility of national governments. and not something that the international community and much i miss the more and more that it is a global issue indians didn't you can contact them. there is no one i mean. we don't. latvian and so on aren't you all right i have to leave it there been a decided from the internal displacement monitoring center in geneva thank you for joining us thank you spain has started listening it's lockdown on children this week allowing young people to leave their homes for the 1st time in 6 weeks the decision followed heated public debate about spain's very strict curfew and warnings from experts over the psychological impact of keeping children indorse that is john philip shots went to meet one family as they left locked down it's. the have waited for 43 days for this exact moment they're finally allowed to leave their apartment again accompanied by their mother of course they say it's a great feeling but a little un

what does that tell us about the international community's ability to co—operate?o combat the covid—19 pandemic. my guest today, in an exclusive interview, is the former british prime minister gordon brown. he is pushing hard for a much bigger international response, but what chance does he have, given the current geopolitical climate? gordon brown, welcome to hardtalk. hello. you are leading a big international effort to get the world community to do so much more in response to the coronavirus challenge. i wonder, in response to the coronavirus challenge. iwonder, therefore, how you respond to the news overnight that us president donald trump has suspended america's funding of the world health organization?” suspended america's funding of the world health organization? i think it is difficult by think we can ove i’co m e it is difficult by think we can overcome this and i think we must not be discouraged. i was dealing with a financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, it was very difficult to persuade people to come on board in the beginning. we didn't have a degree of in

the eu is internalizing. with one of the questions, they emanated from this internal goal to build a single market. it was an accidental byproduct, with communications over the last ten years the eu understands there is the opportunity to shift the global regulatory landscape and if you think about issues like data privacy, the eu cares about the right to be forgotten. it would require platforms to erase the platform which is no longer relevant. it may not be enough in one jurisdiction only. there is the desire to seize the opportunity. there is a huge deal for the difference in the eu has a firm belief, what is required to balance the technology protecting and views advocated by the united states. >> i want to thank the audience and anu bradford for the conversation on the european union, "the brussels effect: how the european union rules the world". >> colleagues at the institute for all their good work.

solidarity be quick between countries around that and to have the international financial institutions step up but as i need a brief answer from you if you can please under a minute if germany is hurting it's in no place to help the rest of europe is it but germany's it is a view to have to risk if you're a public finance it's a good safe. so we and some other countries have to have to also pay our part in order to keep keep europe running and keep those countries running that so much growth who'd like to tell us big danny it could be argued that the great depression fueled naziism the 2008 financial crisis feel populism what happens after the pandemic and recession of 2020 you nervous or optimistic is the world going to be a better or worse place for the coronavirus both economically and politically. well that's a really good question there's a lot of big cheer thank yours out there drafting a scenarios i say that 1st of all what we're seeing is a a pandemic shock layered on a trade war shock which in turn is also layered on a digital transformation shock and the coat crisis i think i

that you think all of these international organizations don't understand international law and you're right. i would like to talk to you though about the way they do it being a battle so i say you're not answering that question. i appreciate the invitation but i'm really not looking for an invitation looking for an answer but are you saying you are. going to say. it but it's do you have the will stay with your dad and we will have to live together or you would have to stand really they badly they say where we did with the. jordanian or i read all the respect to all the international relations at the end of the day it would have to be really between. thank you very much. we would move forward thank you very much and have a great day thank you very much with you for the few things i thank you ambassador . to united nations and iran has summoned the swiss ambassador who represents american interests in the country that's after terrans launch of military satellite on wednesday led to or a war of words with washington president donald trump has downplayed the launch saying it was a televis

who could afford to nurture contacts in international-in the international arena, something the students did not have. that led me to an eclectic group of individuals, who are either members of long-standing international peace organizations, or founded new ones in the postwar. . those were individuals like--in the postwar period. -- those were individuals like, i think this expensing a revival. frederick, a nobel prize winner in chemistry, a communist resistance fighter in france. he was the first president of the world peace council. individuals like--frederic joliot-curie. gerda lerner,. norman cousens. == cousins. a protestant dutch minister who led the fellowship of reconciliation, a.j. muste. the founder or cofounder of the campaign against nuclear disarmament, canon john, collins. that group is responsible for the iconic piece i'm we have today. and from germany, martin niemoller. and the leader of peace strike in the 1960's, dagmar wilson. so a lot of individuals i came across who engaged in or played a key role in reconceptualizing the idea of peace in the early cold war. and i'

level if we don't trust other countries to be containing the pandemic that international travel will not be able to resume. and a so this this issue also comes out in terms of the what we're facing a paradox of prudence if if consumers don't have confidence that this economy is going to take hold they will be all 'd saving for the rainy day and of course if everyone saves for the rainy day at the same time then we guarantee that that we need a will come so this is a major challenge of getting confidence back to the consumer it's also a major challenge international a comedy on this on having cooperation and of course that's exactly where the plate down is happening we're not seeing that kind of cooperation germy one of the dangers for economies as they begin to open up again to what extent will the weak both in terms of countries and businesses and communities be trampled on by by the strong and the rich will vulture capitalism make a killing. well i think it's hard to predict exactly what shape this this is going to take i think what we what we can presume what we're seeing already

lyse, widen this out into the international system more generally.ernational secretary said covid—i9 is the biggest challenge in the organisation's history, 75 years. but the un security council seem to be missing in action. under a lot of disquiet and open condemnation for months, so much so that nine members of the ten non—permanent members of the security council finally pushed on april the ninth to have the first closed—door meeting of the security council. its delay was partially said to be, as we have already been discussing, the sniping between china and the united states, two of the big beasts, the veto—wielding members of the security council. borisjohnson of course was ill, but they had that one meeting, and they discussed two motions, both focusing on fighting together against the global pandemic, but very little came of it. stephanie, coming back to this question of a retreat from global leadership, it's an obvious point, but the united states led the creation of these international organisations 75 years ago, and it did so because it per

cheery ak and the columnist and senior fellow in the global economy program at the center for international governance innovation gentlemen welcome to all of you jeremy let's start with you how do nations come out of lockdown is there a one size fits all formula or does it need a specific approach do tailored to each individual country and economy well i think every country needs to adapt some common principles to its own setting and figure out how it can implement those but you know what we're seeing is a few common threads you need widespread testing so that anyone who has who is a suspect case can access testing the need you need large scale contact tracing and quarantine that you know that large scale contact tracing it allows you to identify the people who have been exposed in a very specific way so that you can quarantine only them instead of courtin your whole economy and then it's very very important as well to scale up hospital readiness so that if there are future surges the hospital system does not become overwhelmed but as is germany coming out of lockdown at the right time has

law domestic or international law to assert liability in the case of the virus but public international law involves the law that establishes rules that govern the relationships the rights and responsibilities between states is a much different regime it's not the same thing as as expecting to bring china into a u.s. court on the basis of u.s. law this is a regime of law that governs all states so ok in the arguments you make then tell us what exactly are you claiming against china. well the argument draws on as you mentioned the historic trail smelter arbitration case that case involved pollution drifting into the united states in the late twenty's and early thirty's from a large smelter facility in canada and after private lawsuits like the ones we just mentioned in missouri or or mississippi or class action suits failed to produce compensation for the farmers in the state of washington who were harmed by the smelter after those cases failed the united states took up the cause of those farmers in international law and remarkably canada agreed to to be brought before an arbitrary panel

and then with an interesting interaction and with those international standards so advancing of the international organization. and with that experience to infecting and influencing from that organization from that to a street what i come across from the international standard-setting to allow yourself to be influenced by those standards. >>. >> there was an example in the book with the scheme running the airlines can you run to that story. >> so we all know that is one of the priorities for the eu and multilateral corporations are tackling climate change so the eu has decided to some extent and this is the story i engage through aviation so that if you are american airlines going from new york to london or paris basically you have to buy it for the duration of the entire flight even only one part of it takes place in new york and if you fly back to the united states call from the european airport. but also foreign airlines with that backlash. since then they collected power to lobby against the presence of the eu. so they would have lost massive sales if you have a collective response from the b

the international health regulations which bind w.h.o. and the world including the united states and so i have a 100 percent support for the world health organization we can't be blaming one another in a time of the global crisis of course trumps criticisms do echo many who have similar criticisms of the show is specifically that they didn't call the pandemic soon enough. well you know i i was one of those who that asked duct tape chose to to call to declare a public health emergency but in fact he did it very very quickly. the idea i think what the public is doing is confusing 2 different things under the international health regulations. the world health organization can declare a public health emergency of international concern that their legal power they did that they may have been a few days late but it had no impact on the epidemic and they did have a very very good job. it was. the idea of when w.h.o. classified this is a pandemic. came much later but that has no legal basis everybody knew it was a pandemic for a long time before.
