when it comes to their relationship of the government, with the international community , this is problematic in many ways. in terms of securitywe clearly see remove towards -- we see international companies building huge walls to protect the premises. this is wrong. this is not the right approach to go into the nexus between business and security and also human rights in that area. this is going to further escalate the animosity or their communities international place in the ground. government is not making the right move, because the government seems to be preferring to use its state capacity to protect international premises rather than -- and a framework where intervention can help to build capacity in order to tackle the key root causes that have led to the situation. so the government is reluctant to have international boots on the ground, but the way things are moving, we will see in the near future because there is escalation, government is not setting things right in terms of steering the different players. imran: let's talk about mozambique's neighbors in south africa, there is a burgeoning movement of people who ar

the german institute for international and security effects. yes it is a problem in terms of improving the trade balance because at least that's what's been promised to americans for more than 4 years now and yeah you might see that raging a trade war against china and even reaching something like the face one trade agreement with china earlier this year in february didn't really improve anything about the trade balance so maybe. that wasn't the right metric to begin with how much can governments actually do that because in this case we've seen that consumers have essentially had the final say. that's true maybe they cannot do so much about it after all as a set before. raging at trade why didn't really change the situation and some people say this is just the consequence of the pandemic because people started to use their expert liquidity not for services as they usually do for travel and so on but they put it in they channeled it to consumer goods more than they would have otherwise. but you know this is been a trend for more than this year s

international with me. now france's hugely controversial security bill does not meet international human rights standards that's the damning conclusion by u.n. experts with fury over the legislation spreading beyond the streets of the country and showed events he finds out. it's one of the most contentious laws that france has proposed and the president not calling and now it seems it's about to become even more controversial the global security law has been pulled apart by a group of independent u.n. experts who have run did it incompatible with international human rights legislation and while they welcome the fact the parliamentarian say that they will rewrite article $24.00 which would criminalize the publication of images of the police if there is intent to harm the experts say that that doesn't go far enough. simply rewriting article $24.00 will not solve its flaws and the provision is certainly not the only one that infringes on fundamental human rights images of police abuse captured by the public play a vital role in oversight of public institutions which is fundamental to the rule of law approval over

the current centcom security chief, the former asd for international security affairs, and, of course, the former lebanese armed forces commander or rear admiral. let me take this opportunity to thank centcom and leadership for their partnership with us at mei. we're honored and proud of working with you. i do recognize we need to bring in more officials or officers from the region on this show but believe me that is not for lack of trying. not even easy thing to do for all sorts of reasons. but that said, i am committed to this endeavor and will keep trying. today we have the privilege of having with us major general kevin copsey, deputy commander of strategy for combined joint task force operation inherent resolve and i'll talk to him about the status of the anti-isis campaign in iraq and syria. and the future of that effort. i encourage you to check out our guest's bio on our website, let me briefly introduce him, major general kevin copsey from the uk was commissioned to the royal engineers in april of 1990. he's had a long and distinguished career with posting s around the world

international security editor nick paton walsh has reported extensively from afghanistan.joins us from london. nick, what do we know about this threat. >> wind back a little bit for the first time we heard this kind of plot, which were suggestions from u.s. and european intelligence officials. they had evidence that russian military intelligence, the gru were paying the taliban to attack american forces in afghanistan. in a period of years, and on some occasions that had in fact resulted in casualties. the russians dismissed that at the time. what we're hearing now, though, is from one senior administration official talking to my colleagues in washington saying that on december the 17th, president donald trump was briefed in his presidential daily briefing that the chinese had paid what they referred to in that briefing as nonstate actors, also to attack americans in aversiofghanistan. it's not clear precisely who they made, if the payments were made and if they resulted in casualties. the information is referred to as uncorroborated and at the same time, the chinese forei

[laughter] >> i want to start by talking about the book and then moving on to other things. and as you know from your invitation you can buy the book online and if you have any questions along the way put them in the chat and eventually i will get to them. starting with the title, when the book first came out 2011, it was subtitled the inside story of 9/11 and the war against al qaeda. focusing on torture because so much of what was redacted and classified had to do with torture, your involvement with others and i want to get to the war on terror before what is so different. so let's talk how the war on terror was derailed and how that comes to light. >> what i wrote the book it was supposed to be recounting my own personal experience in the war on terrorism and then looking to be a publication to start a conversation that ba

they've nominated this man to be assistant secretary of defense for international security. he's the best person for that job in america? i mean even if mitch mcconnell in his infinite wisdom decides this person should be senate-confirmed for this senior pentagon job, the guy would serve at the pentagon for like five minutes before biden is going to be sworn in, and then he would definitely lose that job, trust me. why are they bothering? why are they expending this energy? why are they doing this stuff? what is worth all this time and energy to get into all the top jobs in the pentagon every lunatic, junior varsity, qanon, alex jones, my pillow guy, who thinks aliens speak to him through his fillings, so he needs to wrap his head in tin foil because he crawls under his mattress to sleep? why bother? why are they doing this? what are those guys supposed to do there in these last few weeks in the pentagon before biden takes over? well, maybe at least in part they're there so that the biden transition has nobody sane at the pentagon who will talk to them about what's going on

head of international cyber security policy at s. and d. that is a nonprofit 6 tank working on current political and social challenges posed by new technologies so he's just the man to talk to right now good to have you with us so the coronavirus pandemic we've been hearing the whole year is actually boosting digitalisation which means more people than ever are using the internet that must be paradise for hackers. yeah that's what we also thought but the current statistics show that for germany for example there's only been a marginal increase in the attacks. but even those of course people are using less secure devices companies were forced to adapt to remote offers very fast and of course where you work fast you make mistakes and that might show actually in next year's statistics it's true and what really bothers me is when we hear that the most attacks a government sponsored what do we know about that. well you could actually look at it as a modern spy game so every almost every government in the world wants to continue that game so ther

security forces. if you were around the international zone, you would see many different flavors off that security apparatusand they are here because they have a commitment for our security, for inherited results security. so that we can give them the grant and enabling what they need to provide security to the iraqi civilians for their operations. so if you were to take the militia groups out of that equation and i think we would be there too [inaudible] and stable at the moment. but the big pointers is of concern at the moment. over. >> copy. i want to give you the final opportunity, general, to share with us any thoughts before we close. this has been extremely rich and insightful. we are so appreciative of your time and certainly for your service as well. i threw out you all sorts of different questions and you handled them effectively. i will give you an opportunity for final word to maybe some advice for us researchers here, whether it's our peers, what are some of the things you think we should be more focused on writing about, researching on that could be of help to you guys? >> that is really kind.

1962 it's intended to prepare for conflicts like the cuban revolution so counter-insurgency internal security you know what i mean i gotta say our record was unimpeachable and kill people started saying that graduates carried out massacres in el salvador yet public protests in public pressure led to the closure of the school years later but the military opened up another school in the same location with the exact same curriculum called the western hemisphere institute for security cooperation or we're back you know but i think they could have just changed the name to definitely not the school of the americas that. salvadorians s. lot of academy. really rolls off the tongue. so what are they teaching when western women say well according to the training manuals released in 1906 torture extortion blackmail and the targeting of civilian population. so regular school. that's what everyone learns in philosophy class ways to torture people with thought experiments about a chair if the chair exists in your mind it's as in ideal form of a chair but let's say you were tied to that chair. and you never

clapper, former director of national intelligence, and the president -- and director of the international security program at george mason university. thank you both for joining. >> thank you for having us. >> we will dive right in. and aof changes in 2020, lot of times they were accelerations of existing trends. china, the digitization of the economy and polarization of politics. i will start with the same questions for both of you. what do you consider the major, unaddressed or under addressed risks in the landscape that president-elect biden and his team will need to immediately confront? general, we will start with your answer. >> thank you. am -- the threat or challenge i would mention which i think actually transcends all others is climate change. thatss i would nominate for first on this list of top risks. in my in my view, as the un recently stated, if we don't do something about this pretty quickly, the planet will become an uninhabitable hell. that to me transcends all these other challenges and threats we have. clearly the earth is warming at a faster rate than science had forecast. sea

no international cooperation needs to be more robust than it is today if you think about cyber security it's the ultimate international threat that acts themselves cross borders and the perpetrators can be sitting in any number of countries so it's vitally important that nations are able to share information about hacks that they're seeing in real time and then actually cooperate on action that they can take against the hackers whether it's investigating using law enforcement arresting or extraditing a perpetrator or taking some kind of counter strike or a technical response in cyberspace like switching off malicious bots you know well let's hope that there will be more cooperation with the new administration coming into the white house we will see deaths john bacon with the carnegie foundation john it was good talking with you we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you. thank you well still ahead on the day the fight for democracy in burma reuss as the european union rewards the opposition with its top human rights prize what is a better recognition that we have free t

second, we had the preside and his national security team inconsistently apply international room rules and u.s. values. people that president trump found to be politically expedient were treated one way and everyone else was treated another. in terms of the hypocrisy, we saw individuals like secretary of state pompeo and others ask foreign leaders to do things that presidentrump wasn't doing here at home. that particularly relates to advancing democratic freedoms tke free and fair elections, freedom press, and the freedom to peacefully protest overall that undermine u.s. credibility abroad and undermine the ability of the president's foreign policy team to execute the policies that they saw fit overseas. >> woodruff: a lot of points think about rebecca heinrich's, what would you say is the president's legacy? >> ihink president trump's rhetoric sometimes could have distracted from a lot of the policy, good sound policy that came out of his administration. and i think a lot of what he did, this american america first really tralated into a correction of the liberal internationalism that
