president trump entered the white house it seemed there was no stopping the global wise of autocratic populace around the world political leaders for building support by demonizing minorities attacking us from the rights principles and undermining faith in democratic institutions what's been remarkable in the last year is the enormous resistance to that agenda there is a shift where that resistance has been strong populist advances have been limited but where the populist message of hate and intolerance has been met by capitulation or indifference the populist have flourished. and that was kind of threw off speaking a short while ago we have here in the studio also a representative of human rights watch to williamson he is the director of the europe and central asia division of human rights watch thank you so much for joining us you nice to be here what you say is the overall message in this report as my director ken roth says where there's been people standing up to a populist political leaders then there's been some progress on human rights or at least efforts to hold back severe criticism i

i don't see it as well i do that it's the fact that you callow ignore the populace you know and the populace has been ignored on both sides of the like there for far too long and of course what happens when you ignore the proper lists is that ignorance builds up and let's talk about your own past all campaigns and you've been very prominent and diabetes shuki. condition you suffer from yourself and this aspect of the profile it can be given to key campaigns by so major figures and stars do you feel you've embraced this as one of your projects well i mean diabetes or k. of course touch me personally because i am diabetic and i have a terrible sweet tooth which is developed in childhood and of course that's the danger point it's all to do with chill wasn't kudos candy world was everything you know it was germs and. delicacy here supporters ladies and gentlemen it's more you know exactly sports but it's a lot also to be recommended not a told to be recommended and but i was i was raised on all that and of course that's how it starts it starts with the children and we we still do not acknowledge

his portion of the base is the populace base. i would say it includes the white nationalist. >> but the positive side, from my point of view in bannon's him, he wanted to reward the rich. he wanted to reach out to democrat people in those aspects, he takes with him and i don't know if trump can capture the globalists. >> less get an exit question. on a scale of one to 100, how likely is it that trump will forgive bannon? one >> i think it's a 50 percent chance that bannon will be back in the fold by 2018. >> if trump runs into political problems, he may pick up the phone. i would say 49 percent mac. >> i would say 50 percent he would be back in the fold to some degree. >> before with jeb sessions, and i think it will happen to him as well. >> i think with trump's brain, it could be 75%. >> the nuclear button? >> i think that people in this country should be concerned with the mental fitness of the leader of north korea. he has made repeated threats and tested missiles time and time again for years. this is a president who will no

notough the populace did win many of these elections, they overall have done pretty well in europe in the last year. i think this is something that europeans are going to have to continue to deal with and the last word on this with germany with the alternative for germany now in the parliament is another reminder that this is a problem that remains. peter: anna, what does the alternative for germany have to do with trumpism? anna: i agree with matthew. i think it is parallel development that we see with the same -- that came up for the same reason. directere is little influence -- peter: let me interrupt you. one thing you have written about is the zeitgeist. we are marking 50 years with 1968, 8 time of freedom and democracy and student protest. there are many in europe and in the u.s. saying it was decadent and dangerous because it led to left wing terrorist. that zeitgeist -- what is the connection between the u.s. and germany? anna: the frustration of what postmodern liberalism led to. feel that structure is of value are breaking down and there is nothing to replace them. and they

added the phrase "america first, but not america alone" and said even though i was elected on a populace wave, we have a strong economy in the u.s., stock market has reached record highs, unemployment at a record low, so even though all the things you guys said last year would happen when i was elected, didn't come to pass, and in fact, america's economy is looking stronger than it did before. robert: he doesn't act on many trade deals because he fears the stock market would react poorly. >> exactly and there is talk about what could happen in the midterms. the best thing any president could have going for him is a strong economy, falling unemployment rate. he has that wind at his back and he loves it. i expect a huge portion of his state-of-the-union speech next week will be about. >> that we saw a little bit of the donald trump from the campaign trail at davos. it wasn't in his remarks, temperate, at the end, when he said the news media was vicious and fake. robert: thanks for being with us. stay tuned for the "washington week" extra. we'll hang around and will be on most pbs stations.

the very telling contrast between the old populace of the 19th century and progressives they did not had quite the same degree a popular support. as a result of working there whiles inside the government. all of you make your last comments on this. just very briefly that was tiled why populism fails. populist movements tend to be very leader centered they tend not to form coalitions and in order to accomplish anything in the american system does require a great deal of bargaining and coalition building. the populace tend to be in the past i noted that historically it is noted for more than what they're against and what they're for. they tend not to have a laundry list of programs to guide them. this is the kind of thing that tends to be disruptive once you move it from an election actually into the government. the contrast between the populace in the progressive i thought illustrated that point because they tried to organize the people against wall street and the big corporations and all of that. but the progressives were and experts movement. experts of barry -- of various kinds. th

in the immediate aftermath in fact of his election we had several elections in europe where the populace didn't win or didn't perform as well as many had feared in austria in the netherlands and in france of course where marco won against the four last year not so you know i don't think that there's a direct correlation there that said this is a phenomenon throughout the western world if you will does this populism and it's not going to end anytime soon it's very very violent at the moment in europe in poland in hungary and austria's we've recently seen and although you know the populace didn't win many of these elections they overall have done pretty well in europe over over the past year so i think that this is something that the europeans are also going to have to continue to deal with and obviously last word on this germany with with the alternative for germany now in the parliament is another reminder that this is a problem that remains and what is the alternative for germany go to do with with with trump ism. i absolutely agree with matthew i think it's parallel developments that w

. —— all of the populace. europe has a tendency to wa nt to populace.is right in detecting a yearning for new leadership. why are these things becoming so popular? i am worried about the renaissance of nationalism. remember the kind about the renaissance of nationalism. rememberthe kind of era in which he became a leader, it made him look strong. it was a fierce... —— he was a fierce antagonist. do we want another church? do we want the re—emergence of that sort of power struggle that he faced? —— another churchill. it is difficult for a modern leader to burnish a profile because the world is so much in chaos. it is so unpredictable. he would not have known how to deal with these other problems we have been discussing for weeks and weeks. i hedge my bets about new leadership. in the region we have very interesting new leadership, especially as mark mentioned. it is interesting to see how they see this need to open what is going on in the region. there is a good topic for another dateline london. do we need another churchill? thank you to all of you. tha

>> a great question i use the word populace conservatively that i am not populace one -- populist but that sums up what the book is about i wanted to honestly profile the people on the left and on the right. so to me it capture the sentiment that drove the electorate to one of those most astonishing electoral world of feeds i have seen in my lifetime or modern history even from poisoned water to flint michiga michigan. >> if you live inside the beltway with what was happening across america to the people to have this revolution but this book with a lot of different problems to understand. >> but i think outside of my own book where we can point to in the moment in this election. to profile that group of voters and those swing voters so to take a broader look and i sat down at my desk writing down the issues. but then i traveled the country for the mom who lost her son and husband then to profile a widow and i really tried to and to make them what they were. >> i would imagine the process is simultaneously time-consuming and emotionally draining. and to persevere they went through real

i think it's well i do that it's the fact that you callow ignore the populace you know and the populace has been ignored on both sides of the allotted for far too long and of course what happens when you ignore the proper lists is that ignorance builds up and let's talk about your own past all campaigns and you've been very prominent and diabetes shuki. condition you suffer from your santa and but this aspect of the profile it can be given to key campaigns by major figures and stars do you feel you've embraced this as one of your projects well i mean diabetes or k. of course touch me personally because i am diabetic and i have a terrible sweet tooth which is developed in childhood and of course that's the danger point it's all to do with chill wasn't kudos candy world was everything you know it was germs and. delicacy here supporters ladies and gentlemen it's more you know exactly sports but it's not also to be recommended not a told to be recommended and but i was i was raised on all that and of course that's how it starts it starts with the children and we we still do not acknowledge

does this advance the consecutive populace agenda at all? what is going through both side's minds. donald trump is the head of the republican party. it's not bannon or me. it's donald trump. with these statements, bannon has given credence to the worse conspiracy theories of the impeach trump forces. bannon probably won himself a trip to testify on capitol hill. is that what bannon wants? i know steve bannon. is that what he wants? if there is a policy difference between trump and bannon have an exchange. fellows, it didn't really make sense for a high-profile advisor and his former boss to attack each other when the steaks are this high. how does that make any sense? aren't you playing right into the hand of the democrats and the media who are hoping for nothing more than your mutually assured destruction. what bannon's comments, if accurate, have done, they have created a tidal wave of establishment support for president trump. they are rallying into his side today. not how we saw this story developing. on to more important matters. there was a big meeting between congressional l

rise of populism was to blame for many human rights violations here's what he said the rise of the populace was very much a response to. grievances the people had they felt. they were complaining about economic inequality many people dislike the cultural shifts associated with migration some people fear terrorism and with the authoritarian populists did is take the grievances and goat norris to say it's the migrants who are at fault to see asylum seekers it's the refugees and that effort to sort of. minority for people surely. is to arise a populist so joining me now is you williamson is a do. recta off to europe and central asia division of human rights watch. where you executive director had to say that europe has come in for a lot of criticism in the report by your organization give us give us more about what are your reasons for concern i mean had to do with the e.u. our headline this year is that the e.u. has been treating human rights as an optional extra and that certainly is the case to do with refugee migration policy the focus has been very much on securing borders keeping refugee

report in paris he blamed the rise of populism for many human rights violations the rise of the populace was very much a response to genuine grievances that people had they felt left behind economically they were complaining about economic inequality and many people dislike the cultural shifts associated with migration some people fear terrorism and what the authoritarian populists did is take things which in the grievances and skilled goat won't be able minorities to say you know it's the migrants who are at fault it's the asylum seekers it's the refugees and that effort to sort of breme a vulnerable minority for the problems of the majority hasn't paid in my eyes to the rise of the populist. and once only health care is director of human rights watch here in germany welcome to g.w. we'll get to populism shortly first let's start with a report six hundred pages to tell us that refugees need to be treated better now what what's the point of this. the point is that we see a rise in refugees rising migration the mobility in a globalized world is much bigger and that causes a populist backl

when americans stormed the beaches of french territory to liberate a populace. that is operation torch which takes place in november of 1942. but we don't talk about torch in the same way that we talk about d-day. in fact, the 75th anniversary of torch just passed. there was not very much talk about it. in a few places you may have , seen an article or two but i can guarantee that when the 75th anniversary of d-day comes it , will be a juggernaut. so, why don't we talk about operation torch in the same terms that we talk about d-day? why is this operation not part of the heroic mythmaking that has come to embrace world war ii? i would like to talk about that, today. and i would like to talk about how the americans ended up in north africa. let's start with casablanca itself. it is a port city in africa on the atlantic coast. it was founded in the 11th century, probably by the berbers. and by the 15th century, it had grown into a minor fishing village that was popular with pirates. it was also popular with traders, particularly the spanish and portuguese. and the

decisions and seeing we are going to put our embassy in jerusalem plays very well both with the populacethe establishment base. >> i look at something simpler than that, do we want our children to mimic the behavior of the president? last week we had an instance where children couldn't watch the nightly news. >> a lot of people felt that way about bill clinton. >> harris: it was not so much about what he was saying. >> look at what president trump is doing. it's easy to always point to clinton as i said he certainly had failures but president trump is the president now. >> i agree with you, symbolism, messaging. all of that is really important but it's not just about symbolism, it's also about governance. >> harris: somebody you can look up to it may be the person who made sure mom or dad had a job. >> that's an important thing to point out and something that the conservative populace can agree on. >> i don't think dr. king would be proud of president trump but i see your point. >> harris: i was just talking about jobs. we will be right back. ♪ >> harris: we had some candid interviews to

do they have to be populace?i don't know that donald trump can out donald trump in the democratic primary is going to be very similar to 2006 midterm in that there is zero, and the 2007 presidential primaries, there is zero tolerance for anyone who supported iraq in any way. if you voted years after we went to iraq to provide funding for the troops, it was zero-tolerance. i understand that. if you apply that same sort of witness test, if you replace iraq with donald trump in 2019 and it's who's the angriest democrat, i don't know that that's going to translate wellin 2023 might have a populist democrat who's really liberal. i was stalling to say i don't know. >> my name is rachel craig, i'm a graduate student at sussex university in boston and so bernie sanders had a larger amount of millennial support, but didn't have a ton of turnout and millennial's in general didn't really turn out for the general election and there was low enthusiasm so my question is, do you think there's anything specific that the democrat

a true populace can turn to for inspiration this is just what shuts down asked of donald jeffries author of survival of the richest well they're not too many of them left in congress i love cynthia mckinney who was in congress when she was run out of congress i love dennis kucinich he was in congress he's not going any longer either. i'm not sure there are very many i'm sure that i don't keep up with the politicians much that he's there because i've become very disillusioned with them but. on that issue as far as i know he longs out there i mean there was i wish you luck and of a whole chapter huey long and you look at most people will not even have heard of him unless they are from louisiana certainly he was considered a bit like i did say a populist right to get a job as my of the present day might be to become apparent to huey long but his whole you know concept of basically trying to create a socialist but really noble the working man the poor to make every man a king was a slogan. what were the positives of his regime as as governor well you can look online and see this stats from t

only do foreign service officers communicate in their own language, they use visuals to talk to the populace about america, its values. that really helps with the mission of the department of of theand the mission department of state has been since its inception to promote the values of the united states youmerica, so the better can communicate, the better. >> diplomats can be deterred by a lack of electricity. they still have to go out and do their job. this is a fine example of going out and doing it despite your environment. >> absolutely. sometimes, they have to make calls on the ground. sometimes, they get instruction. absolutely. every good government job has a handbook, right? this is called a resident officer handbook. a unique class of newly minted foreign officers in 1950. normally, officers would go off to various parts of the world, but this class was unique. they all went to the same place. they all went to germany. why would they all go to germany in 1950? >> well, there was world war ii. looking at here are real diplomatic efforts in germany. there is political instability in

the moroccan populace were kind of indifferent.and then you have the leadership of the french who do not want to join at all. eisenhower really wants to secure french morocco and algiers and move into tunisia, because part of the reason they were coming to north africa was s to counterbrit rommel. so eisenhower agrees to this deal. he would later write, one week later after signing the darlan d.l., he would write george marshall -- i value this aid more than the active participation of their troops. we have this advantage through the influence of the entire group to which we have worked. i value this aid. what is this aid? eisenhower came to casablanca to watch french and americans work together to unload 30,000 troops who have arrived in casablanca. these are the logistical lines he badly needs. there are 140 americans and french morocco. by the end of 1942 there are more than 60,000 american troops. it is a huge increase. they were everywhere. americans had tense in town squares. town squares.n so, the movie. we are going to have

what's that you speak about does this always work this way i mean if countries have if countries populace is mostly made of young people are they really more prone to come out to revolt because they're young people who are uncompromising and young people are a great force for change it can be positive if an economy is doing well and young people feel confident in their future that they can invest in their education if they can get jobs built families a country gets richer as a result of having a youth bulge that is. given the opportunity to create wealth if however you have a youth bulge that is educated and can't find jobs or is forced into dead end jobs that don't offer much of the future but they can't get the resources to build families then you're creating a tinderbox of ambition that has not been satisfied and may turn to protest or even violence if the opportunity comes so if we follow that logic does that mean the country that has an aging population has nothing to fear in terms of social unrest it has less to fear in terms of violence so if you look for example at turkey the gezi

of days we have heard a variety of speeches which is saying no to protectionist sentiments no to populace and no one has really dead though to call out the us president by name yet to actually say we're watching we don't like what you're doing the nearest anyone has got to it today perhaps was french president emanuel mckown when he took to the stage here at the world economic forum and he started with a joke in his two true kind of charismatic style bar it perhaps from barack obama when he said when you look at all the snow here it's hard to believe that global warming exists lucky you haven't invited anyone here who doubts that global warming exists there was a burst of applause in the congress hall after that but it was getting a more serious issue and of course his speech then did take a more serious tone and he called for the rebirth of multilateralism for a stronger europe picking up from where german chancellor angela merkel left off the soft a new in their speeches with different angle americal with a very classic speech where she started speaking about the end of the first world

in most very many african countries starting with nigeria there is massive destabilisation of the populace in the not is we had the boko haram consistently page in the social life life of the people in the place between two thousand and fifteen and now there's been some appreciable improvement in the security of loss of property in the not is but that has been replaced by is the climate of instability in the north central and also part of the not is i talk about this like terrible like a ben when this north central plateau and the rest so there's a climate of insecurity even here in nigeria and conduct there otherwise i would say that is why has the failed on that count. well one of the reasons why you do within the air you part are played some more fundamental role is that there's be muslim movement in and out of nigeria korea thousand other african countries within the sub region. in a manner that if the african you know where strong where you are active and a vision that should have been able to stop the free movement of terrorists from one country to the other that really the integrati

dads who had their own newspapers days of reason trying to get out the real news to the general populace today as you know it's pretty much what you see propaganda a twenty four seven whether it's at the local level or the last or the but how can we trust the public school system at this point i mean does if if you look at the comparisons of where the u.s. stands in ranks as far as the you know the tests on an annual basis we are far behind other industrialized countries. there it does seem to be something wrong with the public education system no. yeah i will follow the testing i don't believe in standardized testing i think it's a waste the money i think it pigeonholes teachers into basically p.c. teaching to the test and it tells you how well a specific student has done on that specific test but i agree there needs to be. some type of reform in public education you need to get rid of the steroids testing there's need to be more social justice taught there is need to be something true taught about american history instead of this americans exceptionalism and you know the massacres the

there it's pointless vetting them or a lot of people argue when they're already there you've got the populace danish parties. people's party wanting to impose curfews on these people you've got this note from hans christian struck want to put these people in the u.s military barracks it really sounds that europe is really at odds about what to do with these people and the tide is turning against a lot of these migrants and it's a really difficult position they are in isn't it. it is but i have to say that that's what the pace of this is wrong it's a double it's not so much difference of the post all in part is they all wanted to have strict orders against muslim immigrants asylum seekers and of course the event the fight also contraries rich very very little chance of asylum and most of them are coming from. africa so it's easier for asylum seekers from syria afghanistan to get asylum so they are eastern more easily to the integration program then so those who do not have a chance a chance for. asylum and saw. will be deported much quicker than in the past so they want to speed up. the proced

the rise of populism was to blame for many human rights violations have a listen the rise of the populace was very much a response to. grievances the people had they felt left behind economically they were complaining about economic inequality many people dislike the cultural shifts associated with migration some people fear terrorism and what the authoritarian populists did is take the grievances and scapegoat. is to say it's the migrants who are at fault to see asylum seekers it's the refugees and that effort to sort of. minority for people surely. is to arise a populist. and to talk more about this issue i'm joined now by andrew stroller. he's the european media director for human rights watch he joins me from paris where the world report two thousand and eighteen was not welcome and are not as cut populist hostile to human rights are shaping politics how has this impacted the e.u. and governments. well twenty seventeen has been a really interesting year for how the so called refugee crisis has developed and how it has impacted on politics really throughout the e.u. and throughout the

to make such that and so it was it was you know we kind of ran away from the fact that it was the populace a person's money to actually make that amount and he meant it will cost a lot a lot of money and a lot of questions as to where that money was some front lawn. the second that they don't want this and the one that is very important is one on lens. there is serial resumption on lens does not say that there will be. then its location necessarily wins out if the population compensation it serves that is the first second of the pollution of the land within such into five of the constitution so it is very important to make them so what is on should chose to do is to balance the populists as well as that as as as as people are much more realistic because they know that the constitutional court is not in fact going to endorse that because the number up most of all right. now if we then go to ram oppose that tackling corruption is that something that he can and will do will this make a crucial difference for south africa what if he doesn't have a quote option in this a role concretes actions
