now russia is one of the key partners in our supplier to your country you have said once that russia india relationship can go further than just a political relationship even though it's not very popular to be friends with russia nowadays can't this relationship go deeper than just arms contracts. nuclear energy. i will have to correct you a little india and russia. have a longstanding history or friendship. our friendship has proven strong at every turn along the way. we have been together about it through the hard times. and the times of prosperity about our friendship is not about give and take or buy and sell it's about trust and when we fight climate change. we do it together. when we fight terrorism we do it together. the shrug and. we also work together to fight poverty in india and just on. the arctic because we work together in research and innovation. agriculture you served in the you know and even crisis management just. say. there is no area unit where india and russia cannot come together and cooperate. we have. just recently. in the state of gujarat we have organized the vibr

marcel theroux's new novel is a tale of religion and politics that move from czarist russia, india andventually to the brink of the second world war and the holocaust. on every page, the same question teases and torments you: what is true and what is not? welcome. i'm not sure if classification of novels is a good idea or not, but in the case of this very original story, i want to hear how you would describe it as a book. that is a tough one. for me, it is an adventure story, at the heart of it. i wanted to have the energy and vigour of a classic adventure story. the book itself sprang out of my obsession with another book, which i brought to show you. it's the unknown life ofjesus christ, published in 1894 in paris by a russian emigre. i have always been interested in this story ofjesus, and particularly the big gap in the gospel between his childhood and the beginning of his ministry in galilee, and i always wondered what he was up to in those years. and i came across this apocryphal tale that he had been in india studying buddhism, and it turns out it originates with this book. the

it has four franchises in the middle east, and is seeking franchise partners in russia, india and chinas, sharing the secrets of his sweet recipes. he is here with a box of cupcakes and they've not been eaten yet! i've never seen anyone so and they've not been eaten yet! i've never seen anyone so excited about a box! laughter tarek, good morning. we'd like to talk to you. welcome to the programme. let's talk about how it all began. we probably take this for granted, cupcakes in the uk. they are an american import and you we re they are an american import and you were inspired to do it after a trip to america. yes, i was inspired after visiting my sister who lived in new york for many years. i grew up in new york for many years. i grew up in london but went to an american school so these were really familiar to me. they didn't exist in london at the time and they also had a bad reputation for being cheap and not very well made. i wanted to remedy that and show people the amazingness of american baking. interestingly you're working as a reporter for another tv broadcaster which we won't n

states is not interested in india extremism we can't sit by and watch and suffer we have the means in this region and fortunately these means were not used in the past neither by russia nor by china nor by india they kept waiting for the united states do you think that is once you mean i mean the financial means i mean the intelligence means i mean is the political influence means i mean is the means of giraffe occult contiguity classic geopolitics done here frayed that they say is going to make the situation in your country even worse you know the classic geopolitical means have to be used not for rivalry but for. his of the porsche that is what russia should be doing that's what i advised russia to do in that's what they're doing right now in other words if one power has failed to deliver the goods and we keep suffering. shouldn't to be invited everybody is to cooperate with the power to bring the results that we seek and this approach the consultative process launched in moscow and broadening this process to including the taliban and the afghan government would hopefully bring us now the u.s. secretary of defense general james mattis has already called russia a st

also bring in the major powers of the world who are incidentally all of them our neighbors russia china india iran and also pakistan as a country of our neighbor and for that reason to be an environment of cooperation between them and the united states and afghanistan as we had initially when we started this campaign now i would like to discuss the recent strides our efforts in in the region diplomacy but before we go there i want to ask you specifically about the united states because. when the trump an illustration there there were some hopes initially that it may seek a more pragmatic approach given the events of the last few weeks including the the dropping of largest non atomic bomb and. do you think those hopes of a new beginning of a more pragmatic policy course are they still justified i'm not yet given up on it . president trump had initially the right overtures towards russia. i understood the complexity of international relations and recognized that that with of cooperation with russia there would not be much achieved for the united states specially on a place like syria and on the

our time in afghanistan and that's where i believe you need to bring in the countries such as russia china india iran contra some countries we don't even talk to as well as pakistan to be involved in this for example the russians have had a standing working group on afghanistan for quite some time the u.s. has refused to even be involved in that and yet this is just unconscionable to me because what began as a nato conflict right his down to a us war and we've got to get out of that somehow and i might add the nato allies are sick of it they don't want to be involved when they might do something token but under article five because of the attack on one is an attack on all but we're not seeing that they are fed up with it we've heard that from angela merkel of germany and others i guess mike we're going to ask you to stick around after nine o'clock today and see what president trump has to announce and what have you back on to talk more about this thank you so much michael maloof thank you. north korea has sent a stern warning to the trump administration a new state video shows top u.s. officials

russia, india, pakistan, we have a coordinating group now and the russians need to get involved.s he is moving away from a time-based approach and focusing on conditions. what are the top two conditions the president will be looking to to get met in the near term? michael: he basically talked about how he needs to the feet al qaeda -- defeat al qaeda. basically, this was consistent with president obama and president bush before him. we want an afghan government that can monopolize the use of force within its own territory, but i am not optimistic that will happen anytime soon and would we go into training programs, our record of training programs in iraq, syria, afghanistan isn't great and until we have an honest assessment within the pentagon come we don't want to throw good money out to that. michael rubin was in the george w. bush administration critic coming up on bloomberg radio and television, more on that speech. eric fanning will join us and we will get his perspective in the 8:00 a.m. hour here in new york and the 1:00 p.m. hour in london. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ taylor:

and he sent them to 25 other foreign ministers from russia, china, india, japan, but not to rex tillerson. rex tillerson was a no show at this meeting. just as he had been at the summit dinner last night. appeared simply didn't want to be in the same room as the north korean foreign minister listening to this stuff. the north korean foreign minister said we're ready to give the u.s. a severe lesson with our nuclear capability, if the united states takes military action. now, there's always been that if in that threat. it's not new. what is new. the u.n. sanctioned passed this past weekend and severe economic sanctions and the north korean minister saying the country would retaliate against those sanctions. also, he said, we will never put our nuclear capability or our missiles on the negotiating table and he ended with a flourish saying there is no bigger mistake than the u.s. believing its land is safe across the ocean. as i say, a lot of that is restating old threats but given its increased capability, it's more menacing. mr. tillerson, as i said, rallying. the other foreign ministers p

we're not dealing effectively with pakistan, iran, russia and india who are also actors in the area.in the door but we never put the resources in, either military or civilian to do the job right. we're we lying on the contractors who are overpaid and frankly underincentivized to get the job done in there. it's been sad so far. in it goes on for another ten years, it's unimaginably sad. >> i got to go. con man thank you both for joining me. as you can see there at the ft. mire military base, the president and his cabinet officials there surrounded by active duty members of the armed services. the president is minutes away from his address to the nation on what they're calling the path forward in afghanistan. rachel maddow picks up our coverage next. >>> thanks for joining us for our special coverage tonight of the president's prime time address. we know you have basically infinite choices of where to watch a presidential address on a night like this. thank you for choosing to be here with us tonight. the president tonight will be speaking from ft. mire in arlington, virginia, the army

weapons well look who's number one is saudi arabia even more than india these are countries that build their own weapons on balance like russia or the united states india a population of one point what is it two three four billion people and saudi arabia comes out on top so you know what these weapons are being used for the canadian government and we had a huge weapons deal with them for light armored vehicles something like to go in there not really the gurkhas another company in ontario not too far from toronto wanted ontario fifteen billion dollars deal lot of controversy around that and like you said we're number two now for the middle east so it's all about money that's the bottom line. alex mileage thank you so much for that story coming to us from toronto thank you. it's official general motors has sold its european division to p.s.a. group while g.m. is happy to cut costs amid struggling sales this deal pushes p.s.a. to just one spot behind volkswagen in terms of market value she has more on that for us now bianka is this the first time that g.m. has stopped sales abroad you know this is not the first time g.m. has do

so you can't get to china, india, pakistan, iran, russia, by talking to the troops on the ground. you there's russian weapon there, but what you do with russia, that's a white house responsibility. do you try to encourage peace between india and pakistan so pakistan won't be intervening the same way in afghanistan? well, that's a white house decision. president obama didn't want to really grasp hold of that. he didn't give richard holbrooke a chance to work it. but maybe president trump could. but it's certainly not general nicholson's responsibility. >>> what advice would you dpif president trump right now? >> i give him the advice of, a, it's your problem, you own it. number two, get tillerson in there. get mattis in there. get mcmaster, your national security adviser, and start talking about the big picture. it's not -- what's happening on the ground is a symptom of the larger struggle that's going on in the region. you have to address that struggle through diplomatic, economic means, through other tradeoffs, maybe even outside the area. so you have to think big on this. >> but

intriguing is that all the countries involved with afghanistan from pakistan to china to to russia to iran to india they're all members of the shanghai cooperation organization they should be all convening together in meeting them and trying to figure out the problem of pakistan until now it's been a nato issue and because israel been a reluctance for nato countries to come back in after sixteen plus years it has all of a sudden become an american war all over again and we're stuck with it and. president trump has inherited that the question is what can he do to get us out of the conundrum and just sending in five thousand troops doesn't necessarily answer the question you got to engage the others in that otherwise it's just going to continue to sap our our resources which we don't have we don't know the budget for it anymore and we've lost over two thousand soldiers already so this could either become another quagmire which under under trump or if we can get more of the cooperation from the other countries i think that will benefit us all it's going to take more diplomacy right do you think you'll

analysts say it is a win, win dealfor both india, because it will provide imports, and for russia, who explaining all of that. big—money deals and a lot at stake. i want to reiterate the news we talked about at the start of the programme. china's great wall motor company asking for a meeting with fiat chrysler. this, we understand, will be with a view to making an offerfor all or part of fiat chrysler. that is an italian—american car—maker. just looking at shares, up 3.5% in europe. clearly, investors, in these early stages, liking what they see. a lot of implications of that deal was to get the go—ahead. a quick look at what happened in asia. that is the close in the us on friday. the nikki and hang seng down. —— nikkei. whether this means anything for a president trump's economic policies... fiat chrysler up 3.5%. the best looking pretty miserable at the start of a new week. we will talk about why in just a moment. jeremy cooke is with us. let's find out what is happening on wall street. the week that starts with the solar eclipse will end with investors hoping that the annualjackson

the demand for oil is expected to grow to 4.5 million barrels a day in india. 5% of global consumption. with this deal, russia'sst oil producer ruled that a real edge in the trade. it will have access to more than 3000 petrol stations across india and a deepwater port in the indian ocean and close to the gulf. that will allow it to increase its oil production by six times that this deal is crucialfor sr production by six times that this deal is crucial for sr group also which is trying to reduce it debt and a struggling still industry. it took ten months for the deal to com plete took ten months for the deal to complete and that was after two yea rs of complete and that was after two years of initial taught. the biggest hurdle was resistant to several indian banks that have large exposure to both companies. it seems both sides are winners but with russia facing sanctions, the company seems to have secured a coup of sorts given it a strong foothold in a growing market. great wall motors has confirmed reports it is interested in buying the world ‘s seventh largest car maker, fiat chrysler although they have yet t

early in 1814 napoleon, after failing to take egypt, india, russia, was down to returning alone to paris and capitulating. that was a signal for the british who felt they had been stabbed in the back by their american cousins to send huge reinforcements to america. so they began by extending their blockade all the way from maine to new orleans. especially trying to stop privateers. this is another one of those war of 1812 words that you don't hear very much we would call them the merchant marine. we even have a merchant marine academy that is not called the privateering academy. what it meant was merchants financed, built, often serve as the captains, recruited the cruise, and they went out and attack british shipping, warships and commerce. in fact, they captured five times as many ships as the american navy in the war of 1812. american merchants held 2000 armed privateering ships. they captured 1500 british vessels. and one-third of those ships came out to baltimore. so it is especially galling to the british that no matter what, the blockade did not keep whole squadrons of american pr

india. it has iran. russia is involved, as well. the interesting thing is, we've spent three-quarters of a trillion dollars in afghanistan, and afghanistan is the least important country for american interests in the region. so what we're seeing here is actually a reuse of an old domino theory that some of your listeners might remember from vietnam. we're in afghanistan because we fear that losing in afghanistan will precipitate state failure in pakistan, a country with a fairly large radicalized islamic population and nuclear weapons. so the odd thing is that we are spending all of our time, attention and resources on afghanistan when what we're really concerned about is pakistan. and furthermore, we are missing opportunities to partner with india. >> sreenivasan: is there a strategy there that would work? i mean, does john mccain have a better one than what the administration is putting out right now? >> well, i don't know what the administration is putting out right now, and that's a big part of the problem. so senator mccain has

countries that have a highly vested and historical interest in the future of afghanistan russia china in addition to india but also we are wrong and he only mentioned. india and pakistan because we happen to recognize their neighbor yeah their neighbor there they have your emetic relations with them what about iran iran has that is storable . influence so they have term. disinvestments there as this china absolutely and as does russia and he totally didn't mention any of that when he also said with a lack of transparency he didn't say whether we are going back into a full scale war or if we're going into advise and assist but what he did mention was that he understood that the nation as war weary let's take a listen to that. but we must acknowledge the reality i am here to talk about tonight that nearly sixteen years after september eleventh attacks after the extraordinary sacrifice of blood and treasure the american people are weary of war without victory nowhere is this more evident than with the war in afghanistan the longest war in american history seventeen years i share the american people's frustra

if we get a selloff in south africa, it will not cause mexico or brazil or turkey or russia or indiamiss a step. i still think that mexico has been the darling. it is the strongest performer. that is not a spence of yet. turkey's cheap. when the party ends, turkey is where it's going to end most. it is still attractive at the moment. ,ou can't go short on brazil but i'm not quite sure i could bring myself to buy it. before we to help me get excited about russia again. david: you mentioned mexico and the pace of. we start negotiations on nafta next wednesday in washington. how sensitive will the peso dollar b to what goes on in washington next week? kit: it still must be. if you look at the selloff from just before the u.s. election and to the end of the year and the skill the rally, i mean your total return so far you today buying the mexican peso and selling for 20% is an incredibly big move. thatreally down to a sense the nafta negotiations won't upset anybody. we must be sensitive. david: kit juckes will be staying with us. coming up tomorrow, facebook coo sheryl sandberg joins em

but china, india, russia, iran, pope francis kep if everybody ws part of paris. the only two countries that joined us in rejecting it, syria and nicaragua. i'm not quite sure that's the company we want to be proud of keeping. and the paris agreement is probably the prime example of seeing how the sustainable development goals are actually coming alive in public policy. also sustainable development goal 17 which is committing to partnership and cooperation with the global community in order to solve world problem. 13 and 17. and in some ways abandoning 17 as made as important or more important than 13 because of all the other things we will not be able to lead with. a professor at university of california san diego said u.s. international credibility is essential not just to protecting the environment but also managing immigration, sharing intelligence, slowing the spread of nuclear weapons, avoiding pandemics and a host of other things americans care about. the rest of the world will not sit idly by as a country that traditionally has been the main supplier of gl

the united states and russia are still nuclear rivals. india and pakistan are growing their arsenals and continue to be in conflict along their common border. the north korean situation is worsening. it's not getting better. so we've got problems all around. man, over radio: 3, 2, 1, now. robert oppenheimer: we knew the world would not be the same. man: we saw this cloud of boiling dust and debris below us with its tremendous mushroom on top. beneath that was hidden the ruins of the city of hiroshima. kermit beahan: when the clouds opened up over the target of nagasaki, i let the bomb go. different man: if the announcement made by president truman that the soviet union now has the atomic bomb is true, then the impasse that now exists regarding the international control of atomic energy must be brokered for the sake of mankind and for the peace of the world. newsreel narrator: just-released film show the recent a-bomb tests in which britain joined america and russia as the third world power to possess atomic weapons. man: this first blast is on

the united states, russia and united kingdom and pakistan and india and since 2006 north korea. these inventories range from 7,000 roughly for the united states and russia. by treaty supposed to be the same number. some of them are old and we replace them but they drop down to the hundreds for the rest of the list and down to 84 israel and about 10 and 20 for south korea. these are by the way just midpoint estimates, israel may have more, north korea may have less. how do we get rid of nuclear weaponry? the strategic arms reduction treaty start was signed by the united states and what was then the ussr in 1991. it reduced the number of warheads but -- by the way those are signs by presidents bush and gorbachev, aimed to lower the number of nukz over ten years. they hit the target and signed two other things. let's go to the next screen. they signed two other decades long treaties but that's ultimately where we are now. the latest one being the imaginatively named new start streetty, that was president obama and medvedev at the time. that's reducing, not getting rid of the arms. t

india in this? whattal they say to russia and iran? if it's business as usual, we'll be here three years from now with another group of american families who have lost their loved ones there and more treasure expended and we'll be having the same discussion. so it's really incumbent on president trump. he thinks he's got a different strategy, prove it. >> thank you, gentlemen and thank you for your service. i want to bring in fareed zakaria. i want to get your response. how do trump supporters reconcile that he is basically going along with obama with obama's policy in afghanistan? because that's not what he said he would do. >> it is actually a significant move moment. if you cut through praising the military wnecessary and he did t well. there were strong words he gave and the strategy like the pakistan part which was the necessary point to make, but fundamentally, trump just signed onto the forever war in afghanistan. what you have is somebody coming in 16 years later, $1 trillion later after the united states has had over 100,000 t

russia. do you see them making the same decisions in india, in southeast asia, in brazil?> i actually believe it is possible for two players to coexist in the market and coexist happily. but i think it requires the markets to rationalize and stabilize. there are many industries who have multiple players that coexist, like telephone services. they are competing every day with someone to make a large amounts of money and i think it is a large market. they go it alone? i think they probably could. emily: do you see that with uber u.s.?yft in the >> as of now it is. [laughter] emily: does that continue? butell, it is hard to tell, i think it will continue for some time. there are so many different conversations and moves in the market that it is hard to tell where it will stabilize. emily: travis kalanick leaving uber, right call? >> i think for now, yes. i think somebody needed to take responsibility for all the things we read about, and i are expected to step up and take responsibility for all the good and all the bad. they hade all heard, some serious cultural issues in the
