ceo of the international rescue committee and international humanitarian aid organization., i think that's a perfect place to pick up this conversation. many times during queen elizabeth's reign, through many many british prime ministers, there were times of trouble. while she tried to remain a political she did try to exercise a role as a counselor through some of these prime ministers. great britain, right now, is going through remarkable tore moye all. instability in the conservative party, the ruling conservative party. a brand-new, untested prime minister who has changed her position on many things. potential tension there with northern ireland and inflation the highest and it has been in decades. this is not an easy time to assume the mantle prime minister. it is not -- it sort of matters less working charles lowe moment because his job is not as closely tied to the politics of the nation. britain is a country in trouble at the moment. >> britain is a country that is obviously enormously challenged, but it's also a country that manages to take political del isn't,'s p

we are happy to welcome david miliband, president and ceo of the international rescue committee, andretary for the uk. david, it's an important conversation because you say the window to save hundreds of lives from famine, from starvation is rapidly closing. what do we need to know? >> more than that. the critical thing to understand is in somalia, kenya, and ethiopia, the three countries and east africa most exposed to long term conflict and the short term impacts both of climate crisis and of the ukraine blockage on grain supplies, those countries, 21 million people are what the un says is the door of famine, levels three of four of food insecurity. so, we are expecting a famine declaration soon. we fear a fifth successive year of drought this winter, so this is an emergency that the world needs to wake up to. and this area, the biden administration have made a strong start. they announced through u.s. aid last month, 1.1 billion-dollar commitment. this week, at the united nations, we need other countries matching that level of commitment. here is the scariest thing, and somalia in

as it happens, prince charles, now king charles is the patron of the international rescue committee in u.k. so i saw him in the u.k. just two or three months ago. he's someone who cares. and what katty kay was referring to earlier was that could be that a problem for him as a monarch. i think it is the opposite. the fact that he cares is evident. he knows limits of what he could do and that is the secret of his success and you could see some of that in the reaction he's getting today. it reflects his mother and also reflects him. >> keir i'm watching these pictures and it occurred to me how much he's going to be scrutinized, every movement. i was trying to figure out does he look different or sound different. the way he interacts with the crowd. is she walking behind him or not walking behind him. everything he does, plaerly over the next few days, until the british public gets used to him being king charles, everything will be watched and analyzed and how is he like her and not like her. and it is -- it is a moment he's been waiting for all his life. but it is also, and i'm thinking g

bypass the telephone, can you otherwise no, a get through the country director for the international rescue committee. vicki akin said the only solution to this crisis is to find a way to make the economy function that requires cooperating, or at least engaging with the taliban. she right. of course engaging with the taliban, but we have to know because where there is the dispute you talk for me engaging is talking engaging is dialogue. you really have to know in talk what the knot is for in order to open that. you have to find ways and strategies to open it . so engaging doesn't mean that you have to directly give the money, but you really have to know, how would this money be very efficiently used for the people and for that support of the people? not all last guns. are anti taliban ave to the extent that the taliban has cracked down on corruption, for instance, among some groups that's been welcomed, hasn't it? a u. k. foreign office study which was released in july calculated the taliban had, as they put it drastically reduced up to $1400000000.00 in bribes given and taken every year just just on

after work, the head of the, the president of the international rescue committee had this memorial service. he called out to names. he had a minute of silence and looked around and sold his buildings of the olympic village . and i said, andre, at top, 44 years, but now you have it. finally, you and your teammates, the recognition that was long due to you because you came to the olympic games in order to participate in this festival of love and brother, old and piece of whatever. and you old, came home in the coffins, and this, the world should not forget. i can only be very grateful that they've done this work because it, 50 years later, almost here we are still talking about the story still mentioning it. and it's mostly because they didn't let the world forget of what happened in munich because we know that those will forget his story. are bound story peters. and people looked at me many times. they said, oh yes she is. again. i said, yes, i will be here again until you do the right thing. finally, after 45 years, this beautiful memorial was erected on the very grounds of the munich olym

the president and ceo of the international rescue committee, david, it's really a great pleasure to have> thank you very much, chris. >> first, as someone who served in the government, your reflection personally on this day and the legacy of the queen. >> the queen has been there for all my life and for 90% of brits. they've never known anything else. and when people talk about a symbol of unity, a symbol of continuity, that is what we all remember, that's what we all looked up to in various ways. she had this remarkable ability to put people at ease, one of the things you do as foreign secretary is all overseas trips that the queen makes. she would accompany with -- every overseas trip that i made, i would see her before hand and talk about things. she had this remarkable ability, even when he went in in trepidation, it felt like, the first time it was going to be the worst exam i've ever been through. she puts you at ease and even though she could tell you about who is the prime minister of pakistan in 1961 and what he told her, -- my first visit to pakistan, i want to see her before h

and others like david milliband who runs the international rescue committee who has also been on theneed to do even more? to take it to greater scale? the suffering and the human horror of what the russians have been doing to the ukrainian people just is beyond my imagination. we need to put real boots on the ground in the humanitarian arena as well as helping those brave ukrainians who are defending their country. let me just say one other thing. i think here is where joe biden and his team deserve an enormous amount of credit. you're right, joe, nato was -- nato was really confused after four years of trump. i honestly believe if he had somehow managed to end up back in the white house that he would have pulled us out of nato. what biden had to do was to rebuild that alliance and bring people back to the table where we could be in a position to support ukraine with strong sanctions, with military equipment and means. and now we're going to have to figure out how to not only continue to alleviate the suffering, but to help them rebuild in the future. >>> i wanted to ask about vladim

international rescue committee reported in august that 41,000 of these afghans are working age.any of them have joined the u.s. workforce. if you want to read more about that effort, there is more in the wall street journal. we will go to wane next. he is in kansas. he is on the democrat line. >> all right. pedro, thank you for taking michael. to my friend in fort wayne, in 2020, the last year of the trump administration, the united states produced a 16.5 million barrels of petrol. we used 18.1 million barrels of petrol. that is a 1.6 million barrels shortfall. the united states has never been energy independent. i wish people would stop lying from that. >> where do you pull those numbers? >> i used google search. a simple google search will tell you a lot of things. i have two more points here. the united states is the largest producer of oil in the world. we are currently producing more than 12 million barrels of oil a day. next year, will produce 13 million barrels a day. >> next year, 2023, the united states will produce over 13 million barrels of oil per day. that is more t
