k. well, i'm prompts as well as the us and the straight in the k, the prime ministers in damage limitation mode tonight, in the midst of a rift with paris for us, johnson says the u. k is quote, very, very proud of its relationship with france, but things are going to bit downhill is saying that britain's love for france can never be destroyed. that the poor of emotion comes off. the paris cooled off a top level franco, british defense conference, enraged at the u. k. the new security pack, which has proved really controversial with a lot of people with a straight layer and the us, china is not happy isa riley reports on it all tonight. the french defense ministry cancelling summit that was due to be held bilateral summit with the bridge. we understand that there were reports of florence, paula, who is the french defense minister, personally called for that meeting. to be counseled the british side are denying it . they say that this is merely a postponement, it's not a cancellation of that.

k. well, the u. k is not having its french ambassador recalled in the same way that the united states and the australians have done. but that doesn't mean that the french are happy with the role the united kingdom has played. and in this deal, they have essentially fed through the foreign ministry, the 3 for a minister that the u. k. is nothing more than i kind of vassal state of the united states as to how this is playing out in the u. k. i think this is being seen as perhaps the french being a little bit hysterical about things as throwing their toys out of the prime to a certain extent. but you have to acknowledge that france has been really, really thrown under the bus and this, and i think in the u. k, that view is not being ignored. they can see that this was a big deal for france. they can see that this is a humiliation for macro and, and they can see that this throws french strategy in the indo pacific region into disarray. so the rivalry between france, the united kingdom is long, it goes bac

k? well, take a look at how the government is responding and whether the military will be getting involved to tackle the crisis. we have a lot to cover today. fullest dive right in the we leave the program with the latest on the release of wallace, chief financial officer, main ones, though, she returned home to china over the weekend nearly 3 years after she was detained in canada. at the request of the.

the cool leaders, moline, nicholas, how much pressure is from the international community over this k. well, there's been a condemnation from starting from the united nation secretary general from the regional body echo on the african union, mute reactions from the former french colonial power for friends who hasn't really come out strongly about this. and there's very much a wait and see, but what's interesting to see is the reaction from the crew leaders and from guinea . and they feel that despite the condemnation, they feel like they were abandoned by by, by the international community. they're saying that during, when alpha can they change the constitution when he tweaked as they say, the numbers of the vote count during the presidential election in his favor. where was the international community then? where was the condemnation there then? so there's a sense inside guinea that the cool leaders are moving ahead towards the much needed reforms that the country need. starting by the this announcement that was made yesterday on national television, which was the dissolution of the consti

as a ne, in a rival they went after the i s k p that existed in emerged in f honest on mainly in the northern parts. and then i phone is done as well. and the government back then the government in the us also occasionally went after them, but i s k p also i have to say is not all the losing power, but they're also trying to as a result show that they are still forced to reckon with indeed because they do have just disappoint, you know, what you say the way in which they have been targeted and weakened in recent is through us as strikes. they have managed to maintain a reasonable presence in july abide and they've carried out a number of attacks in which the taliban have been casualties and not least not a talk on cobble airport. it does not mean that in the sort of upheaval and confusion and chaos of a change in, in power in the country that perhaps there will be some taliban fighters and supporters that attempted to, to join iso k. well, it's one of our now really we're on and off against and so i think that under some very extraneous circumstances, could you see some cringe taliban fighters or groups break away enjoying some oth

well, clearly that's, that's democracy, the, the poll numbers and so on. how quickly did the poll numbers of the $911.00 mix up fear, ethically, with a strategy involving defense companies on k street, and how this can be manipulated into a, into a money spinning idea off the bodies of those who are killed. well, this is nice, president cheney's for the day here. after all, he'd been the secretary of defense who introduced halliburton to outsourcing for the pentagon. halliburton actually did the study, they came back and said, oh, this is a marvelous idea mister sector. we should do this. and of course, we proceeded to do it after that eisenhower is wanting in january 1960 about the military industrial complex we just put on steroids. the complex became desirous of analysts war analysts war that would feed them like a cash cow and keep them alive and breathing and their ceo's making enormous salaries and their company solver. that's why we expanded nato to a certain extent to which so we could bring the poles and others into buying these equipments made by our arms merchants. so this complex was largely responsible for the military staying in afghanistan for 20 some odd year

k? well, take a look at how the government is responding and whether the military will be getting involved to tackle the crisis. we have a lot to cover today. fullest dive right in we leave the program with the latest on the release of wally's chief financial officer, main ones. though, she returned home to china over the weekend nearly 3 years after she was detained in canada at the request of the trumpet ministration. but while a deal was made with the department of justice and china released 2 canadian prisoners in return, the vine administration is signaling it's still not done pursuing a case against the chinese tech giant at the center of it all. our to turn new chavez has the latest main one joe, one was chief financial officer and the daughter of the company founder ren zang. fay returned to china saturday night after striking a deal with us. prosecutors in an extradition case that as fuel tensions for nearly 3 years between the west and beijing. after more than 1000 days of suffering

now, by all of a stone oscar winning director and writer films like salvador, j, f, k. well trade center, nixon, wolf, street, and platoon all over. thanks so much for coming back. gone. happy birthday. that's what i got to say to you. first of all, i mean the commentators are all talking about how your films one way to cope with 911 the 20 or anniversary. can you see why $75.00 is very young and you should be putting out at least 2 or 3 feature films a year now. my father lived to about 75. exactly. so i think, i think, you know, modern times have been good to us and prosperity has been good to us and allowed us to live longer. so i'm grateful and i hope i stay young and making films is top. but i've been working really hard on these 2 documentaries that are coming out j f k one. we talked about the con, that's coming out in november 22. the birth date of his murder. and the other one will be coming out early next year. the clean energy one, which i did a lot of work on, and i was in paris, scoring it with the composer of angelic, the greek composer who i've worked with bef

k. well, here the appeal in october and it's quite as doubting this is, continues to be heard in a court of law. we've talked about this as an awful lot of correspondence. have been covering him, particularly when he was in the embassy in london. but if you look at a lot of the, the major west, the media outlets to seem quite a sounds shy, why do you think that is because he is a big name figure, but they're not covering, covering him very often. i would say that the mainstream outlets perhaps are not covering the case as much as we would like them to. but i think it is very fair to say that this case, the continuation of the prosecution of a song is becoming increasingly more on popular and major news organizations and all of the major civil liberties organizations and press freedom organizations around the world are calling for the biden administration to drop this case. it is not just a small group of activists or few journalists here and there who are advocating for immediate release. the

k, well, now the deficit is making the market nervous as we put winter again. and then finally the catalyst to just tip everything could be china. china's demand for gas has been riding steadily up 8.4 percent again this year. so to satisfy the record demand for gas, china's import the gas work, i could just search almost 20 percent. meaning that you have fewer shipment traveling to europe from could tar. so as shipments of gas have turned from europe toward china, flows of pipeline gas to year from russia has failed to make up that shortfall. russia has been slow to deliver the pipe natural gas to the region, which raises a lot of questions on whether this may be a deliberate move to bolster in case we're starting to close the the noise stream to pipeline. and now octavio, there's a lot of concern that the soaring energy prices we're seeing across europe will make inflation even worse now, while proposed aid packages may actually help consumers pay the higher prices. how do they tend to impact inflation? well, i think just a mathematical certainty, the high en

k? well, couple of things. number one, the french have to pull their french out of the u. s. and actually the french, if you remember that the oldest ally of the u. s. because they actually ganged up on us brits to our new orb independence. but i think it's very sad move, and she, particularly when they micro declared about now it's great that the adults are back in town when biden was elected. because this is being very childish to withdraw your ambassador. but now to your question brand with regard to the trade with the u . k, i mean, this isn't good for any kind of relations. although the issue is not to that the u . s. and the u. k. form this pack with the australians. it is that the diesel submarines are not viewed as being as competitive and what is necessary to for the chinese in the pacific because these are submarines have to surface and the nuclear submarines can stay under the water for fall greater amount of time. so the diesel submarines were viewed as obsolete. so this agreement was more about what is best for the protection of australia. not a some thumb agains

well, i honestly don't think the u. k is very different from pretty well any other country, which is that they want to maximize the economic benefits from f also fuel resources answer only the u. k. i am very critical and i have been very critical both plans to open a new coal mine and the u. k. and plans to extend the instructional north sea oil and gas for precisely the reasons that we were discussing earlier. that a very high proportion of these results is need to stay in the ground. you gave evidence at this, and i'm sure you're aware of what your opponent say, because you said we shouldn't be opening minds something i'm sure shared by a lot of people around the world. what did you make of wood mckenzie? some consultancy firm claiming the mind can make a contribution to future global metallurgical coal supply within the context of you k, you mean, legally binding carbon emissions and targets? well, i mean, i would say that wouldn't be where we're hearing increasing a bizarre frames from the fossil fuel industry that i

k. at austin, american forces to keep a gate a terrible airport open in order to help get british nationals out. despite that severe imminent possible terrorist threat that was being warned about that. well the u. k. foreign secretary says that allegation is just not true. while another government ministers accused the u. s. know of adults are going to play the game. there is an underlying current of blame, which is on helpful. it's a distraction from the main efforts of what is happening on the ground. if the scale of this attack was known beforehand, old gate should have been closed as a matter of protocol, and they went, which suggest saw it, detailed intelligence was missing, or huge risks were chosen to be taken anyway. we as former u. k counter terrorism intelligence officer should bridge about how such an operation should go than in a high risk situation. like that. end of the day. if you've only got one or 2 or 3 days left to carry out your evacuation, it could be argued that you constantly shut down the operation every time that as a tower. because if you do so, of course you should have an initiative to group such as i say, so perhaps even the taliban themselves, you could manu

you know, the same could be said here in pakistan as well. isis-k is another story as well.off as sort of a sort of an offshoot, if you like, of the taliban by a couple of permutations. and it is anti pakistan right now, but it is also not the same camp as the taliban either. and it's seen as both a threat to the taliban as well as al- qaeda in a certain way. they're all sort of jostling for power right now. so the big thing is for the, the taliban is it has to put down isis-k because that really is its main challenger right now in afghanistan. >> sreenivasan: jackie, there's been a lot of concern in the west about how the taliban decides to create policy affecting women. what has the government done so far to address any of this? >> well, just today, just today, obviously, the minister of higher education just came out with an edict that women will still be allowed to go to school, even higher education. but now the classes are going to be separated between men and women, either with physically separated, and also that women are going to have to use islamic dress. and they

k as well, because in the last couple of weeks we've seen a bit of a back and forth with our politicians and various advisory groups to decide on who should get things. and what they've been arguing about is, should we be offering vaccines to children? many other countries around the world, including in the us, but many of the european countries all proactively vaccinating their children in some european countries. they've got to nearly a 100 percent of their young children age 12 to 15 in the u. k. we're just beginning to embark on that particular journey and what is that you get very large uptake of over large amounts spread the virus in that particular sector of society . why? because those the last groups to be offered vaccination. so that current to bull, they're also more likely to be more hope, highly, socially network. they're meeting with each other. they're in school at university, at work, public transport, partying, goings, nightclubs and so on. and this is all up, but your transmission to occur. so as a result, there's a higher risk in that particular group that they're goin

k. these well place to talk about this. so yeah, i mean, a lot of people around the world, are we going hey, we see you're upset. we see you don't know, kill ations that you guys in the construction industry, but our business is our jobs have suffered in other realms of industry. we have to where we have to have the collections. why should you be any different? they got much sympathy in melbourne. well, and i do a lot of simply for the me show you has had, as a massively mismanaged pandemic in berry minded. as ellie had 90000 cases since the outbreak of current barson and, and 1200 deaths nationwide, were that compared to that sort of 77, a half 1000000 cases in the u. k. and 135000. and that's, and there's a massive discrepancy in, in how it's effective because been in australia and new zealand. it looks like it's probably looking from abroad. it looks like it's been really clamped down. it has been really cut down a bit. people are sick of it. you know, after after $200.00 consecutive days in melbourne, which is obviously

government, the taliban, and fix helpful intelligence resources in britain and united states in k as well as of course there's of russia and china because all of these groups including the taliban current moment it must be said because that came to have a level of international acceptance. and they don't want to give us, for example, unexcused to attack them again. after all, they put them out of power formerly of these for 20 years. and so consequently, i think behind the scenes, at least, there will be over time, there will be develop level cooperation between each other services to target. for example, al qaeda, isis affiliated groups that may seek to regain the defense so we can territories. and in our kind of stuff, i think there's a growing recognition that no matter what people might think a tied up on government. and again, we're very much waiting to see what they're actually going to do, what they say. but regardless of the various, a common interest amongst really all of the international community and the taliban themselves, i think to be able to control and restrict the amount

this debate then continued to rage for a few decades, and in the early 90s, the k-12 -- well, k-12 side went along with it, and they changed the name of the field to family and consumer sciences. but the thing is that has just never really caught on. i mean, i never heard -- i've been covering education for four and a half years, like i had never heard of family and consumer sciences. i've heard of culinary training programs, but i hadn't heard anything about home economics, and even the people i talk to who work in the field today, they say, you know, people say what do you do? i teach family consumer science. what's that? oh, it used to be home economics. it's unfortunate because i understand why they wanted to increase the visibility and increase the respect, but instead of increasing the visibility, they lost it, and they didn't actually gain anything in terms of respect either. >> right, right, i told you before we actually came live that so many women i went to college with majored in home economics. the college had a huge respected home economics department. >> what college was t

u k, as well as a straight lifting europe altogether too. but i'm afraid multilateral collective action is becoming more and more difficult. stocker, matthew, what's the point of the un if multilateralism isn't bill and isn't part of it's d n a? if you simply can't do that, what's the point? well, as you, as you were saying earlier in, right, i mean it's, we need somewhere somewhere where people can, can, countries can gather where sovereign states can exchange views, can try to pull in the same direction wherever possible. you know, in my experience, in my diplomatic career, i always felt it was important to sustain a regime or a, a, an organized form of behavior among sovereign states. because they're very difficult to build in the 1st place. and it's really hard to get countries to agree on the same rules and norms. so are common rules. and so, you know, it's really something we do need to preserve because because it's the best we have . but the big problem is that the un was forged in a spirit of common interest, right? where everybody i
