u. s. does not have a vaccination problem. what it does have, though, is a problem with not enough people that want to get vaccinated and a potential death problem there and of 24 of the u. s. u. s. has 50 states about half. the infection rate for corona virus is going up by a rate of more than 10 percent. most of the states that are seeing the biggest increase, primarily being driven by the delta delta variant. states like arkansas, missouri, alabama, parts of texas and even a few pockets of florida. these are areas where the infection rate is going up sharply and death is increasing. there as well, and the u. s. government has said that within the last month, 99 percent of the people who have died from corona virus or people that had not been vaccinated. well, us president joe biden has called on his russian counterparts, out of my opinion, to crack down on cyber criminals last weekend, more than a 1000 businesses were affected by a ransomware attack originating from russia. and believes to be the biggest attack of its kind i

u. s. does have an issue or needs to walk when it comes to a quality, especially racial quality. do you think there is institutional racism? i think the united states has made great strides over history. if you think my great grandfather, of course, when he was born there were staves in america. and to think that we have gone, and 150 some years, 160 years from slavery to where we are to day. i think we've made great strides in our we perfect no way. we're not. but with the difference in america and other countries, america is constantly trying to improve doesn't mean we always do it right. but that's that, that is, the goal of our country is to try to improve and think racially. we have made great strides, but we've got a lot more to do the way that you look at america now. and the way that you feel about american now, is it the same way that you felt about the country 203040 years ago, or is there any disappointment that's arisen or any of the opposite? move pride? well, i mean, i love my country, i'm an american, i'm proud of my country. i'm proud of what my country has been a

u. s. says so seems a little nuts to me. yeah, we're definitely seeing exactly how much pull the u. s. does and doesn't have year when it comes to geo politics. excellent points to consider here. bend on bill hunterman. thank you both so much for your time in analysis. welcome. and the price a bit coin rose back above $32000.00 late wednesday while a theory of eclipse. $2000.00. the search comes is tesla. ceo eli must said, the e v maker will likely restart accepting bitcoin as a payment for its vehicle during a virtual panel during the b word conference with twitter ceo jack dorothy and art founder, kathy wood must said he wanted to confirm renewable energy usage in mining was above 50 percent and if so quote, tesla would resume accepting bitcoin. i believe he also added, i think we will do that. dorothy and musk also talked about what drew them to the world's most popular crypto currency. it's 1000000 information system. so i think it makes sense to support something that improves the big go to the quality of information with which we conduct the economy. and quinn is a candidate for that

u . s. does matter though, the us has a long involvement in haiti, especially it is politics, it hasn't the military and in the past. so there's going to be a lot of trying from haiti to the dc, trying to get the support of the biden administration because the calculus is going to be if the by the administration came out and said this person is the person who should lead haiti until elections that would go a long way. obviously they're doing the public behind the scenes likely trying to broker some sort of agreement so that they can get some sense of security and some sense of who's leading the country just we just heard from joseph lambert who there was a resolution by a 3rd of the senate say that he'd be the new president, he just sent out a tweet saying, i was supposed to do my investigator ceremony, but more senators wanted to be here. so it's postponed. likely, again, this is the us behind the scenes talking to all the power players trying to figure out where they can all agree on somebody t

u. s. does or debt to these people and has to treat them properly. the united states as committed to helping those who helped us during our time in ghana step over the last 20 years. and indeed we've had very brave afghans who stood with with us, with our soldiers, with our diplomats, mostly as translators and interpreters. and as a result of that service benefit from the possibility of securing a visa to come live in the united states were actively engaged in that process. and notably in relocation planning for those brave afghans and their families. some of the us wanted this to be a managed process. we know the deadline. we know that the us troops are going to be off gonna stand by the end of august your byte and said he wanted to be by september. the 11th has been brought forward. what the didn't want was a desperate rush at the last minute. everyone remembers the famous scenes of the u . s. embassy, inside going at the end of the vietnam war, where people were being lifted off the roof by helicopters. we wanted this to be much more managed, much

u. s. does help in any way, it's going to be 1st the investigation, 2nd with money. it's asking for military troops. right now is a huge ask, obviously after the devastate earthquake in 2010, the u. s. military really went in full force into haiti to help with that effort. this is a much different thing. there's a much different time right now. president joe biden is defending his actions of bringing troops home from afghanistan to bring them home, only to send them to haiti, a country that it really isn't. talked a lot about the american people that would likely be unpopular, especially given the risk that you are service members would be out if the countries in that much chaos. because if the military goes in, they're not going to go in with a small footprint. so it would be expensive, it could be dangerous. whether it seems unlikely that that is something that by demonstration will agree to, but they are now confirming that in fact, he has made the request and they are talking about amongst themselves. patty, calling their with all the latest on those requests for

u. s. does have some leverage and they didn't say anything about truth, but they did talk about a, they said they were giving $75900000.00 in a to haiti. they've pointed out that the president has extended the temporary protections to protect the status, to the 10s of thousands of patients who came here after the earthquake. that's something his predecessor was going to get rid of. so they're going to be watching very closely in haiti. this is just another step. it appears on the road to instability. can a very messy situation, patrick hannon with the latest from washington d. c. thank you patty. let's not bring in lauren to. he's a co director of the democracy initiative at the university of virginia and also the author of hate. see the off the shocks of history. he joins us now from charlottesville, in virginia, or on. presumably, this move by the senate was meant to calm things. i mean, well it, i don't think so, but in some ways i think the situation of instability was, was already there wit

u. s. does not know us special representative to know that you don't know, we don't know what turns out 2 weeks later, the holiday and actually show up in moscow and then the show on. and then they show up or rating through a length of suicide bombers and pocket stuff. these are not just about any telephone. these are actually 14 cell yvonne who are on the un security council sanctioned list were prohibited traveling internationally, but who actually enjoy an exemption. so that they could travel in support at peace and reconciliation. but what we'll be doing using that privilege for the travel exemption under the city council. and they were actually using it to avoid any negotiation. they agreed to come back in january of 20 negotiate, but they chose not to. they actually went all over the over the world, but negotiating which they call this abuse of the privilege of the travel exemption for men listed under the un sanction. misuse of that privilege. shoes and tell you how much priority the tele

u. s does not allow most non us citizens to enter the country under covid-19 travel restrictions today, president biden said people with long term covid may have a disability under various civil rights laws that would entitle them to protection from discrimination. people who've had covid and have lingering symptoms like fatigue or brain fog are known as covid long haulers. it's not yet known how many people have this condition. but today the administration updated information about where people can access resources and accommodations. the dixie fire still growing and threatening thousands of homes, the latest on the firefight plus a look at the smoke drifting toward lake tahoe. and we've got the forecast that does include a little less humidity and less p as well back here. it also one of the original rosie the riveter xhaferri died at 99 coming up tonight. a look back at her incredible life and how her family he was gould of fairfax died last week report school led the movement to give rosie the riveter two. we found this dress that has a note on it. phyllis gould left notes. family h

u. s does not have the use of bagram airfield north of kabul, we just handed bagram air base over to theegic asset in the region to protect us from terrorist. it counters russia, china and iran in the region. we're going dark in afghanistan and they're gonna be consequences long term to this in terms of the thousands of afghan translators and their families that the u. s promise visas who have been facing death threats from the taliban for their past work with the u. s government, congressman mccaul says the u. s is negotiating with kazakhstan to serve as a base for them to wait while the u. s process. this is those visa requests at the pentagon. jennifer griffin, fox news, the vatican says pope francis is alert and in good overall condition today, one day after undergoing intestinal surgery. the 84 year old pope remains in the hospital following the three hour procedure during which doctors removed half of his colon. the vatican says the pope needed the procedure because of a narrowing of a section of his large intestine, which doctors say can be very painful. the pope is expected to be

u. s. which does have a longstanding embargo against the islands that it does back the people's rights rally, adding that claims to fuel. the protests are a grievous mistake. however, person biden has fagged support for protests. the more he called that decades of economic suffering. we stand with the cuban people and the clarion cool for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic. and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by cuban authoritarian regime. he says that the us embargo cost at 9000000000 dollars last year alone and is hurting its ability to fight the pandemic america, cause it sanctions tools for the for democracy. talk to francesco domingos, head of latin american studies at middlesex university in the u. k. says that washington has gone to astonish england's to split. the country says from cubans in the united states to cuba has been stopped. and then being sanctioned, their emissions being taken by the companies in particular just of tourism from coming into the top of all of the united states, the blockading trip

u. s. president does have the power to change things that improve things and appears to be refusing to do so. and so repeatedly reporters asked the white house press secretary about this. she insisted that humanitarian assistance has been provided. but the reason for the protest is not economic, but instead about the type of governance and mismanagement, seeming to miss the point of the protest or refusing to acknowledge the reality that people are expressing with us on zoom now from washington, d. c. philip brenner, who's the american professor of international relations in history. the american university. nice to see you, mr. brenda. i'm just reading a comment as well from the secretary said antony blank and said it would be a grievous mistake for the cuban regime to jennifer. what is happening is the product of anything the united states have done. that's not just sort of a denial. it sounds like almost a warning. it goes and it's very insincere. and it, it flies in the face of reality. of course, cuba has created some of its own problems, but to deny the united states is responsible

u. s. also does have the, it's ongoing economic, social welfare and diplomatic interest inside afghanistan. it obviously does not want to see the country become a haven again for either i soul or for al qaeda, which is our viewers where we're coal is the reason why the us went to war in afghanistan back in 2001. the u. s. is also of course key to maintain its regional influence, both in southwest asia and in the middle east writ large. and certainly it is keeping an eye on countries such as china, which is trying to expand its own regional influence there. and so you don't, i don't think it's reasonable to assume that just because the u. s. is pulling its military forces out of the country that it's going to be leaving afghan, a stand essentially in a back in the us. it's still very much going to be a part of the afghan body politic roslyn, jordan and washington, d. c. rosalind, thank you. emergency workers in belgium and western germany. searching for hundreds of people believe to be missing after devastating floods. more than a $150.00 people are confirmed dead and that figure is expected

u. s. which does have a decades long embargo against the island said it fully backs the people's right to rally. the protests come off for a very tough us. cuba economy, his plunged 11 percent hurt by the code. the crisis and also american sanctions of the country says that the u. s. symbolic. go has cost at 9000000000 dollars last year alone, and is hurting its ability to fight the pandemic. marika cause it sanctions. so tools for democracy while keep as president demands, supporters do go acting, defend their country. the correspondence for us to channel spanish is in how about how mr. ations, in support of the cuban government are being held around the country. you can see national flags, portraits of the historical leader of the cuban revolution, fidel castro, and slogans for him. and president miguel diaz canal. these demonstration some large, other smaller like this one taking place. not only in havana, but in other parts of cuba. the protest appeared to have been organized on social media present, diaz canal appeared to the country on television. let's listen to an x from his speech. say

u. s. government does that not only with safety, but they can do the same thing when it comes to who they define as a special journalist. great inside, as always, been on. thank you for your time on this one. thank you. he most sweeping changed to global taxation and over a century is now on its way following a virtual meeting between leaders from 130 nations who represent over 90 percent of global g d. p. those involved reportedly agreed to pass laws, ensuring that companies headquartered in their countries pay a minimum tax rate of at least 15 percent in each of the nations in which they operate. they say the goal is to reduce opportunities for tax avoidance, but countless questions remain as to how it will be enforced and if everyone will comply. this all comes as a group of the world's most powerful oil producers, came together on thursday to discuss how to approach production cuts moving into the 2nd half of 2021. so joining me now to break it all down, or boom, most co host kristi i and michelle snyder, partner and director of training research and education for the market gauge gro

canada may by 88 of these monsters, despite massive protests around canada, is because it does the bidding of the u. s. government, which does the bidding of lockheed martin, where the united states to spend less each year each year on its military. rather than more, even the tiniest bit you would see a reversed arms race around the world. when the united states bends more than just about every other country, including all its allies and weapons, customers put together and then exclaims, we must defend ourselves from the chinese or increasing their military spending. well, when the united states decreases its military spending, so has, and so we'll china. well, and, and i understand that you actually think that the us backed off that other countries like china, turkey, russia, per se, the middle east, that they would actually reduce their numbers as well. the united states could radically reduce military spending and military weapons build up around the world simply by ceasing to sell weapons is the overwhelming lead the number one weapons dealer and the state department serves to pressure other count

u. s. german deal does, main supplies will be able to bypass the crime, but it's not entirely active pocket because the country gets a $175000000.00. the infrastructure development and the current trends, it deal must stay in place too. and that means it can still collect fees. moscow is also been warned, it will be punished if it uses the new pipeline for political gains, while the us pages to no longer stand in the way some american officials are still upset. concerns were voiced, once again at a recent senate, hearing in washington for the new stream 2 pipeline poses a threat to both the u. s. and the security. you told this committee that you believed at the north stream to pipeline would have disastrous effects on u. s. national security that it would have disastrous effects on european security by making them subject to economic and energy blackmail from russia, and that it would enrich and power to carry out that blackmail. you continue to believe that i do sen with you. i'm and economist b spoke to do say that americans attempts to stop the nord stream to violated basic internationa

u. s. forest service does say crews are making good progress and pushing back the flames from those residential areas. a number of bay area firefighters are heading up there to the front. finds the san francisco fire department says it is sending its new type six wild land engines to help battle the lava fire and eight firefighters from the san mateo fire department are also heading up to siskiyou county as part of a strike team down south 16 people were hurt in los angeles after a trailer belonging to the lapd bomb squad unexpectedly exploded, confiscated illegal fireworks were being stored inside. several vehicles were destroyed and windows of nearby homes were blown out. now. this happened during a schedule detonation event, but authorities were not prepared for the actual explosion. earlier today, police seized £5000 of fireworks from a home in south l. a one person was arrested now, police say nine officers in one atf officer were hurt in this incident. they're all expected to be okay. six civilians were also hurt. three do have serious injuries, a major decision tonight that could change

u. s. barbara, how does your cast her with the latest there from washington? heidi, thank you. well, let's look at the pandemic around the world and south africa is also struggling with worsening numbers. the vaccination campaign there is making progress with a record quarter of a 1000000 people getting their shops in one day. but so far, only about 7 percent of the population has received at least one dose. south africa is the worst that country on the continent and health experts are also warning over potential rise in cases after large crowds gathered during antique government protests last week. for me to miller has more enough from johannesburg on the speed of the vaccine rollout. all the south african government had to hope to vaccinate about 300000. and they almost reached the target by almost 250000 in the last 24 hours. and that is a record for south africa, especially given they've been concerning the last week or so, given the disruptions here around some of the riots that we experienced in the provinces. of course we're going to tell and hoping in that vaccination c

u. s. equity market is bleeding over into crypt does. so there is a lot of talk that there's a global slowed down now caused by the spread of delta variance. and especially since the japan has also recently declared a state of national emergency ahead of the olympics. so there is this fear, and there is a slow down and there's, there's a lot of negative sentiment also coming from china, given their latest crackdown and their war on crypto currency. but none of that is actually really new news. so i think it's just a little bit of the overhang coming from the latest cell off. and we have to also remember that this step really isn't that big of a deal because in the face, so 50 percent drop a 10 percent. nothing. and then the past 3 days since the 4th of july we've had bit coin and all the all coin also rally up about 30 percent. so i think right now it's more of a risk off day. traders are taking a little bit a bit of a gain from the long weekend holiday where everything popped about 30 percent. and a lot of the old coins that have gotten

u. s. is trying to maintain its position so they, that imaginary part is all about what the u. s. perceives which china does not agree with. ok, well, i can understand you. i live in russia. i know what it feels like. farrah, let me go to you and knoxville that the problem is here is that china is rising or returning depending on how you want to look at it. and it's the very fact that it is rising is a threat or a challenge to american hegemony. and that's why i said in my introduction, it's time to start negotiating. this is a reality, chinese market is suddenly stopped developing, and it's certainly, and it has no reason to listen to what the united states says, particularly when it comes to its internal affairs. so, i mean, this is the quandary we all have. china is rising and the very fact that it is rising is from watch in perspective, a threat to it's a gemini, why the u. s. should be hedge a monic. well, that's a different question. go ahead sir. yeah, you know, china is rising, it is something that cannot be stopped, especially because the government is trying to emphasize domestic growth in particu

s. can now blame the united states for being behind these latest protests. what role does the u. s. trade embargo play in the worsening economic crisis and hardships that are currently being experienced by cubans? while the us embargo is extremely important, at the very end of his term in office, president trump prohibited cuban americans from sending remittances to their families in cuba. that was about 3 and a half $1000000000.00 a year worth of revenue, which not only raised the standard of living about 60 percent of the cuban population, but it also gave government access to foreign exchange currency. you could use to import vital goods. the lack of that money is really a critical component of this course. do you see, foresee the binder administration changing its policy piece of the cuba? well, you know, a candidate joe biden promised that he would in fact reverse a number of trump sanctions that hurt ordinary cubans. remittances would be an obvious one. and he also promised to restore travel, although that's really a move issue until the pandemic is over. whether or not he'l

u. s. would be better suited to change at policies toward haiti. what do you think from your purch needs to happen? how does the u. s. need to change its policies toward haiti? yeah, i think in the most immediate read to me, it's clear another intervention from the international community or from the us would be a disaster. right? i mean, you look at have a history of this has been a history for an intervention, overturning election, supporting to, to todd's putting military troops in the ground. when you look at the situation today and the crisis that you described in the deteriorating economic situation, security situation, etc. this is much a product of international interventions and international policy has anything else, right? so to look to them for a solution, think, you know, is really misguided. i think, you know, again, yes, haiti as you know, in the situation of political uncertainty today. right. but he was in a position of political uncertainty before the assassination of president believe his own mandate was contested. there have been calls for his resignation and for a transitional governmen

u. s. in troops into restore order. the us state department, does it like the idea? is this something the u. s. should be doing or not? it's a great question and i will say, i think that for real change to happens, the only path forward is going to be one page by itself. and certainly there is a role for the international community to assist in an a to assist you must learn from the past and really ensure that it's listening to patients. civil society better listening to the voices that are coming from the ground. what they're proposing of the solution in a way forward. and any engagement really respects the population, human, right? it's the strengthening of institutions and rule of law, enabling the integrity and functioning of both institution and really supporting the countries right to self determination. though the international community would like to see those things happen, and that's one reason why the international community has given millions in aid to, especially since the earthquake. a lot of people say the that has not helped. it's actually hurt the cou

u. s. withdrawal from iraq does come in the wake of it's polite from us gallus then washington sees it's not focusing on the bigger threats posed by russia. china, the long term risk is china. maybe the, the near term risk as russia. and we have to make sure that we focus our attention on those. yeah, there we are. all comes after nearly 20 years of war enough. gail, us down, president biden claims the u. s. has achieved what it intended to do, and there's no need to risk more american lives. but a peace activists we spoke to see the u. s. has never left a conflict with our paving the way for another. there is no growing threat or striking threat or threat of any sort from anywhere on earth to the us military, which is an expense almost equal to all the others put together. or there was no threat from afghanistan 20 years ago. there is no threat from china today, and there is no threat from russia today. it is all absolutely propaganda. and the thing to do 20 years ago was to use the rule of law to prosecute the crimes, to seek the extradition of criminals, where there was justifiable gr
