relator elaborate on let me 1st address the progress as secretary pompei and others have made with our canadian and mexican partners regarding cross border travel as we continue to evaluate common sense measures that reduce risk and prevent further spread it only makes sense that we have looked at to look at the measures that our neighbors to the north and south are undertaking and so we've been working closely with those partners since the earliest days of this virus in the outbreak and again as the president said earlier this week and saturday pompei we do share greatly if an agreement with both canada and mexico to a limb to limb and non-essential travel across our land borders. let me be clear that neither of these agreements with canada or mexico applies to lawful trade or commerce essential commercial activities will not be impacted we will continue to maintain a strong and secure economic supply chain across our borders a few examples of essential travel include but certainly are not limited to individuals traveling for medical purposes to attend educational institutions for eme

secretary of state mike pompei or has been talking about he's been urging european countries to take back i saw members as a matter of establishing justice do you think it's important that european countries accept their nationals back from syria and iran you're trying to move me into an area of political debate i'm not going to comment on what secretary of state pompei o said or whatever the united nations mandate that i had. has to promote international standards and best practice i applaud those countries that are taking back their nationals and that are willing and able to do so and we are willing and we've expressed it to feed in and assist those domestic courts that have taken back foreign fighters if other states have national security concerns legal impediments or other reasons why they're not taking them back our job is to make sure that there still accountability and so what we are doing we're investigative team on the lookout for a court and policy decisions that rests upon the sovereign states of the united nations they must grasp this nettle of choice what we have to do

one of my favorite stories i found was of a man named pompey fleet. he belonged to a guy named thomas lee junior, who was a printer in boston, rapid patriot. fleet's appearance in the records, he comes and goes in and out of the records for about a 25 year period, beginning in 1774 and leading up to the 1790's. the first is a runaway ad. pompey has runaway. he did not run away from thomas fleet. he ran away from jail. he broke out of jail. as it turns out, many enslavers in new england, if they could not control their bondsmen and women, they put them in jail, sent them to jail. let the town or the state or the colony deal with it. and that is what had happened to pompey, but he broke out. he disappears from the record again. appearance in the record is march 17, 7076 -- 1776. amped.he british army dec 3000at point, african-americans were living in and around new york city, working for and with the british military, and the british military evacuate them. and one of the officers records all of the people of african descent who left. he records their n

the us 60 statement pompei as a q several countries including russia are spreading false information about the pandemic issue of disinformation is there any particular locus for this decision missioners a diffuse is pretty diffused unfortunately but we've certainly seen it come from places like china and russia and iran but there are coordinated efforts to disparage what america is doing or activity to try to do other things at present trying to set in motion here because there's well accusations against russia disinformation and takes about the coronavirus present in europe and the whole world are a big disinformation and fake themselves let's take a look at the presumption of innocence is there argues asians you need evidence with no evidence there can be any claims moral where it can be used as a part of such an aggressive informational campaign earlier donald trump placed the blame for the spread of coronaviruses china's door alleging the situation would now be better if he'd known about the virus earlier the president did that the world was paying a very big price for beijing su

expert here a wonderful research but the fact of the matter is if you look at the secretary mike pompei o during this process he was egging the turks on to confront russia because he believed that russia would back down i mean the thing is is that they don't they've never wanted a resolution in syria that they can't control well everyone lost control pompei or no one's going to listen to and of course you have the hot air from the e.u. you know all of this is happening on the ground and they are going to determine the final outcome it's taking longer than we all thought but they will go ahead alex that well this is exactly the point because of course what happens was that yes there was some people in the u.s. government and in and in the e.u. and in the media who wanted to give full throated support to turkey and not just verbal support the stronger support well designed however the pentagon clearly and. unequivocally said no they are not prepared to go head to head with the russians on turkey's behalf in italy province and it's important to stress it's not just the syrian government th

you know it's not that i don't like will put my pompei or side yes the prince the idea that many countries or some countries with good standards of justice almost universally recognized as having a good standard and process of justice shying away from taking back their citizens has prompted some in the un like the un special rapporteur for extrajudicial executions agnes calmar who is a un official like yourself expressing concern in august about reports of the transfer of french nationals to places like iraq for trial because of torture and unfair process. now when i'm trying to get out is the question of do you see as an investigator i know it's not it's not your responsibility what happens within national jurisdictions i get that point but would you like to see from your perspective more countries in europe take back do you think their citizens for trial or home do you think that that would help the process and i think any state that he's able to take back national their own nationals are to be commended and are to be assisted and they're encouraged to do so but. our job really is heavy

court the top administration withdrew from the court in september of 2018 and it appears that my pompei was doubling down on that this is a truly breathtaking action by an unaccountable political institution masquerading as a legal body the i.c.c. today stumbled into a sorry affirmation of every denunciation made by its harsh critics over the last 3 decades now it's also important to note that last year we saw the pardoning of u.s. service members accused of killing civilians in both iraq and afghanistan by u.s. president donald trump he pardoned them when they face charges for their actions. so as the war in afghanistan seems to be drawing down many are optimistic about the peace deal it appears that the united states is determined to make sure that members of its armed forces are not held accountable for any crimes they may have committed in afghanistan while the united states maine it maintained its presence there for 18 years so how can our american troops let's talk to daniel schorr is in international politics expert and professor at the city university of new york thanks taking t
