earlier i spoke to gwen robinson who is a senior fellow at the institute of security and international studiesuniversity in bangkok. i asked her if she was fearful the military might escalate this yet further. fearful. i think it's absolutely inevitable and i agree with his take. i think the real new thing about this significant escalation of brutality and obvious strategy now that has become very clear that all, there is no bar is now on military violence. i think there are probably directives to shoot to kill. also to mame and torcher and handbag bodies of people who have been taken was up have been handed back to relatives, some of them horribly mutilated. it's all designed to spread fear and i think the military strategy is to partly use this kind of intimidation. in fact, i think that's backfired because what we're seeing on the street shows that people are angrier than ever. obviously, it's a much smaller core than what we saw in the first weeks of the coup where there were as grannies and small children on the street. these are very hard very committed young protesters who seem to be wi

to welcome maria kids and now senior research at the danish institute for international studies she focuses on justice and security in may and now with us from copenhagen alone thank you for your time is the pressure working is it as simple as that we've been wondering about when we might see something else 600 prisoners it's a good number. yeah i mean it's quite surprising because it is said just before the military has since at least in february escalated to buying crack townson and protestors and it hasn't really released a statement yet not to my knowledge so we don't know what's behind all of this but i think there can be to 2 things at play here what is it recent international and fresh air saw yesterday also russia and china not condemning that group but showing concern and of what's going on and we know from previously that the military despite bryant has been tried to sell created image that it is sort of. this release of the mississippi to this kind of efforts to improve its image you know that they have had and it's very canadian. city where this sort of international image is a best of one thing that t

joining me victor cha, senior vice president for international studies, professor at georgetown and former director of asian affairs and the national security during the george w. bush administration, it's god to see you. despite the trump administration's summits and all of the letters he was describing, the beautiful letters with kim jong-un, north korea has really increased its arsenal. it's growing threat for cyber capability. how would you describe the threat? >> i think that's right. all of these beautiful love letters and the three meetings that took place did nothing to stem the tide of north korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile development. they have between 20 and 30 nuclear weapons today, which is more than they had at the start of the trump administration and they have fissile material, the material for making, way more, and they've greatly advanced their missile launch capabilities in terms of both something called solid fuel and mobile launch capabilities which makes it very hard for the united states to preempt these if they were ever to roll one out and launch it at korea, japan, guam, hawaii or the continental unit

security and disinformation campaigns. the center for strategic and international studies hosted this event. >> good afternoon, everybody. my name is john hamre, president europe csis i want to welcome you to what's going to be a very, very interesting conversation. this is a continuation of the series we're doing on the national security imperative for civics education. that may sound odd but during the last year we've all experienced startling things about how we need to reinforce the importance of civics and since understanding in american society. it's a national security imperative and we are grateful that today we have the privilege to have the director of the fbi christopher wray with us. his time is limited so i'm going to be just very brief to say how grateful we are he's devoted his lifetime to law enforcement and public service. he has had the opportunity to be in the private sector but we keep calling him back and it's because every time he is in public life we are all in the fitting from it. you all take a look at his resume yourself but i don't want to take any more time. director wray, your service is so v

for strategic and international studies she joins us now from california ms colombo i've got to say what a terrible situation upon this went on for days it looks like a series of security failures on the part of the mozambique government the military security contractors so i have to stop by asking you how is this allowed to happen . i think i think the government and perhaps the international community in general has really struggled to come to terms with the nature of this group with its capacity i think it's interesting that this attack occurs after 2 months of the government claiming that they had made significant progress in improving security in the province actually advising civilians that they could potentially return to their homes. this attack also comes after 2 months of sporadic reporting that the insurgency was suffering from logistical shortfalls food insecurity that they had actually released some hoss just because they could no longer sustain it support them sustain them something some of these factors also feed into sort of missing the signs that this was coming i want to talk a little more about the timing of this town had it really truly returned to

international studies, this is 90 minutes. >> good afternoon, everybody. my name is john hambry, this is a continuation of a series we're doing on the national security imperative for security education. in the past year we've experienced startling things about how we need to reinforce the importance of civics and civics understanding in american society. it's a national security imperative. we're really grateful that today we have -- we're privileged to have the director of the fbi, christopher wray, with us. i will not, because time is limited, so i'm just going to be very brief to say how grateful we are. he's devoted his lifetime to law enforcement and public service. he has had the opportunity to be in the private sector. but we keep pulling him back. and it's because every time he is in public life, we're all benefiting from it. you will all take a look at his resume yourself, but i don't want to take any more time. director wray, your service is so valuable to the country, we're so grateful you're willing to share your time with us today. thank you. let me turn to you. >> thank you, john, i appreciate the kind words and i of course appreciate the chance

security assessment. and this assessment was meant to synergyize. capitol police is doing internal one. part of that may have recommendations for facilities changes. general honore has a study. he has four key tenants. one of those is dealing with quick facilities improvements. and then there's going to be other studies probably around the senate. but there's one entity that looks across the entire campus, including the supreme court and thurgood marshall building and can look at -- and can synergy synergyize all these into one. we should have budget level so i can tell you how much the project will cost. by saying things like we should put hardened glass on all doors and all windows in the capitol, that may or may not be executeable. i say this because the capitol was designed in 1790. it first started construction in 1793. it was never envisioned when they first laid the foundation that there would be a 9.7 million ton cast iron dome on top of it. it was expanded. now if you put over a ton of glass on the windows, that may cause structural problems. we need to analyze that before it's just a good idea of putting stronger glass on windows. that's what we do in our studies,

homeland security issued a report confirming that white supremacists pose the most lethal domestic terror threat to the american people. and research from the center for strategic and international studies finds that white supremacists and their sympathizer carried out two-thirds of terrorist plots about and alacks h. tax deduction in 2020. in the weeks since january 6, we have learned that extremist groups that regularly preach white president obamacy such as the oath keepers and proud boys played a major role in executing tack on the capitol. every member of this body owes their labors to the sacrifices made that afternoon by capitol police officers including officers of color. at least 100 officers were physically injured in the january 6 attack. one officer, a veteran and fellow new jersey's named brian sicknick, later succumbed to his injuries. and hundreds of officers now carry with them invisible scars from the trauma they endured that day, scars that may not fade for years or even decades. one of our colleagues to cast those a tacked the capitol as harmless patriots while stoking the fear of black americans is like rubbing salt in an open wound. everybody in this body should kno
