u. s. seeing that's happening in hong kong that made the government say, we need to protect people who theoretically, could be facing real harm. p r. c. authorities seek to use the tools that they have given themselves. and that includes, of course, the national security law and other legislation to make arbitrary arrests, politically motivated prosecutions, of opposition candidates, and politicians, activists and peaceful protesters with the goal it seems, or certainly the end result of creating an atmosphere of fear of self censorship, of repression. among the general populace and our measures to day are a response to these and other actions by the peer c and other hong kong and hong kong authorities to undermine again what was promised to the people of hong kong. and that is the high degree of autonomy, global corona, virus. cases of now past the 200000000 mark fueled in part by the del to very into the virus. and the as infection numbers continue to rise, access to vaccine still larger depends

so we all see that the u. s. shows almost all the time to sustain long last to your political influence of countries so far away. i think area such as pie was to see that the u. s. is not as powerful as one, ford to be able to win a war. what influence your politics far away from the us? the us have failed. many of his allies making new tons of from the support open night for whatever countries not of the court interest of the us. find the angle miracles time is german chancellor is almost up, but if her chosen successor thinks he's inheriting rock solid public support, he might want to avoid the polls in the papers. because for the 1st time in 15 years, the dorman coalition party is behind peter oliver reports happy days for the social democrats in germany. they are top of the opinion balls in the country for the 1st time. in 15 years they lead the christy and democratic union, christie and social union. the conservative union block by 23 points to 20 to the greens coming in. in 3rd, in the most recent polling,

u. s. economy was seeing perhaps less of this effect. but in many western european countries, we also see a structural mismatch between the jobs that are on offer and the skill sets of the people who are out of work and looking for employment. and now, is this something that will eventually go away with workers returning to the labor force? as you mentioned, when, say the stimulus measures they extended unemployment benefits go away, or has that pandemic force a change in the way the economy works? the same way we have seen over decades as we move from a resource collection economy to say, a manufacturing economy to services, economy and so on. while 1st, i think we can say that to the extent that hospitality and retail survive of pandemic and, and doubtless they will, there is a face to face interaction component there that requires folks to be employed on the front line. those wages for those workers are definitely going to increase. so that's point one. point 2 is that the appetite for remote work which was previously, i think, somewh

u. s. seeing how it leaves the way in which it leaves and you know, the fact that everything crumbled off the 20 years. how's the old playing out in washington in the corridors of power? well, when you're aware, there's so many american politicians talking about how the american military is the strongest in the history of the world. this is an embarrassing and to 20 years of engagement. remember they went in around november after the 911 attacks 20 years ago. they took cabal very quickly. indeed, the idea was that they were going to help establish a government which was western faith thing that would recognize the rights of minorities, including women. and 20 years later, they leave with embarrassment almost to a country that is run by the taliban. so there has been a great deal of time, effort lives, money spent on the campaign in afghanistan. and in the end there are many people in washington who are saying what's it all. busy what they're talking about, the trillions and billions of dollars tha

, we're seeing this mismatch between the workers who are available and the geographies in which they needed and the industries and the skill sets which needed those. well. now i know as the u. s. recovers we've talked on and on and on about inflation, but as we see wages and prices increase for small businesses, specifically, is this going to just make this temporary inflation even worse? what say you? well, i've always been in the camp that questions whether or not the inflation is going to be temporary because frankly, once you raise prices to consumers will raise hourly wage rates to work. as it's very difficult to roll those back. the expectations are set and they feed into the overall inflation result. and i think a lot of the pressures that we're seeing are not going to be temporary. they're going to be built into and should be built into inflation expectations for the longer term. now when it comes to these trends that we're seeing here in the united states, are we seeing those and other countries as well? and if not, why is this a uniquely american thing? well consumption of course, as a very big part of the overall us economy, it's well over 60 percent of the g d. p

u. s. south would be where you're seeing the vaccination numbers lagging across the country. there are still more than a quarter of american adults who have not even received one dose of the vaccine. that even as a white house is expected to announce this week, that american should get a booster dove. but here in louisiana, the hospitals are filling and this state governor has warned that the state health care system may be approaching a major failure. political 62 year old bobby burdette has just emerged from the covey intensive care unit at our lady of the lake hospital in baton rouge,

u. s. presence. they see this as possibly being an inroad for terrorist forces for the islamic state to thrive enough on the stand. and so we saw a talk, a phone conversation between china's foreign minister, one e and u, a secretary of state antony blanket on sunday, what china demanded that the u. s. played an active role in guiding the taliban. china wants to see the us possibly input funds, humanitarian aid, economic aid to of gone ascent help stabilize the situation. we've had chinese for ministry for days now say that this was a so called mess as they just glad that enough gone aside created by the us. so they want to see us play a role in cleaning out that mess as well. now chun is yet to officially recognize this hold on as a government, but it was one of the earliest players to recognise the taliban as a legitimate political force. we saw the lead to one of the taliban leaders of the guns fired visit china in july. hold very high level talks, and during that visit china promised to play a role in the

u. s. to see this is such a huge political issue that the, the us presidents won't even take these measures mandatory vaccination or incur strongly encouraging. i died a covert health path would make kid in the united states. why is the politics of the so difficult? i was a go to the stage where people just will not believe the facts and evidence in front of them to the extent that almost willing to die for it. i wish i was smart enough to simply summarize that for you. it has something to do with decrease and lack, lack of commonality along americans and inability to agree on a certain set of facts. i work for a startup, call new guard, and we rate the credibility of news information on 6200 in the us and europe. if i showed you the sides, which pedal virus and general health misinformation and take a look at their audiences each and every day compared to those of trustworthy sites like famous male clinic in the us. ok, you'd be stop. there's just a huge market for lies. and miss information. oka

u. s. last slide left corner. thank you. and then just on the television, you know, you've, you've talked about their pragmatic ways of operating with u. s. military here. do you see a role for a u. s. military to have open conversations with the taliban, even potential coordination going forward in particular with this growing and now essentially the threat from isis won't tell you my, my dealing with the taliban. and my dealings of my commanders on the ground with a telegram revolved around our determination to execute this operation and a very flat statement. we made them. but if we, if you challenge us, we're going to hurt you. and i think they recognize that and for their own purposes, this is something they wanted to have happen to. i would, i can't foresee the way future coordination, but between us would go. i would leave that 1st for some future dates. i will simply say that they wanted us out. we wanted to get out with our people, with our, with our friends and partners. and so for that short period of time, our issues, our, our view of the world was congress. it was the sign. finally, i do believe the taliban is going to have their hands full with isis

have full control of luthey and yet to fulfill its strategic needs, we've russia, so we all see that the u. s. trail was almost all the time to sustain long lasting your political influence of countries so far away. i think area such as pie was to see that the u. s. is not as powerful as one ford to be able to win a war or influence your politics far away from the us. the u. s. has failed. so many of these allies making new tons of, from the support open night for whatever countries, not of the court interest of the u. s. mark of time as germans shot through his almost up. but if had chosen success, i think he's inheriting rock solid public supports. he may want to avoid the pulse in the papers for the 1st time in 15 years, the dominant coalition policy is behind as p to oliver, explaining happy days for the social democrats in germany. they are top of the opinion balls in the country for the 1st time. in 15 years they lead the kristi in democratic union, christine social union. the conservative union, blocked by 23 points to 20 to the greens coming in in 3rd. and the most recent polling it d

u. s. will defend america, security interests and that of its partners as well, including israel, but that the u. s. is waiting to see if iran takes a diplomatic approach to addressing the various issues, including the jcp away and that the u. s. is prepared to rejoin that nuclear dale, the jcp, a joint comprehensive plan of action deal if or on and here is to its responsibilities . so with more on s, including, if israel and the us is on a crash course with lebanon and iran, joining me now is former pentagon official, michael maloof. so here we go again. you were here yesterday and i said, i'm sure you're gonna be back and i'm sure to be talking more about this and here we are. first of all, let's, let's, let's start with webinar and start with that development, be instruction webinar. what do you make of that is, is this a dangerous escalation, or is it kind of tit for tat? beyond tit for tat? i think that this is clearly elements within lebanon that are anti husband, that are trying to agitate and provoke to get israel to respond in a military fashion. i has bought anti. yeah, because that's interesting. and we to

u. s. appearing to back down. now, are we likely to see a change in policy anytime soon? i don't think so. i think the policies that are in place by the united states have been a failure now for years and they weren't changed. finally, mister biden understood, as mister trump did before him, that this was hopeless, and they should get out. they didn't prepare it very well, they didn't executed very well. they didn't do much of anything over there really very well. and that tells you more about the long term problems of the united states than it's going to tell you much about the others. the competition from the europeans, the japanese, the russians, the chinese. there are lots of people with all kinds of plans for the taliban government that are going to shape that economy for years to come. petulant behavior by the united states. embarrassed by what just happened isn't going to help anyone and professor will quickly before we go, there's a lot of speculation that china could move to actually include up ghana, stan, it's belton road initiative. if that the case is, is lik

u. s. are continuing to see the heavy falls on from on re, as it works its way from most massachusetts out to see it could impact eastern areas of canada. now we are also seeing severe storms roll across the midwest. by the time we get into wednesday, it will be the great lakes that see some of the wet weather. now was he looked to the west, it is looking a lot dryer. we have got some strong winds that fueling wild fires in northern california. it's looking dryer in the south for the wet weather. we have to head to central america with some heavy falls in eastern parts of mexico. ah, the venezuela columbia has become a something grown a trespass as the, as desperate people transgress an illegal passage. to feed an emerging fuel trafficking market, we follow the perilous journey unguarded, through the line of fire. risking at all and his wayland columbia. on al jazeera, the ah ah, are you watching out? is there a mind of our top stories of our, the u. s. medicines regulators fully approved the fall as a coven 19 vaccine people age 16 and over. it's been in emergency use since the pentagon h

so we all see that the u. s. shows almost all the time to sustain long lasting job political influence of countries so far away. so it is, i think, a bad deal also for the american people to the u. s. u. c took for precedence tree and took dollars. callis live last and 2 decades to and to be unable to replace the tale. i think area such as pie was to see that the u. s. is not as powerful as one thought to be able to win a war or influence your politics far away from the us. and given recent events, and what being an ally of the united states means we're just looking at, i'm gonna start with lithuania, thinks that can rely on the united states. would you have any words of advice? civilities? well, who do us retreat? marconi sundays time along with its decision to withdraw from sophia anomaly. 95 and 2 abandoned critic fighters in syria in 2019 as well as restoring its troops from taiwan in 1959 on important samples of the lack of strategic credibility in american affairs. foreign policy, the u. s. have failed so

come enter, but i don't see i'm not terribly optimistic that i think we might see at the trade will break out between the u. s. and china just at the very worst moment. and now christy, before we go, where are you seeing this trade war and to kind of octavio is point, where were you seeing that going here in the next 6 months, up to 4 years of the vitamin ministration? well as well by ministration. they seem to be less more so defensive, less offensive, like what the trouble ministration was. and by that i mean, trump was offensive in terms of sloppy on sanctions, sloppy on tariff being very aggressive in terms of his train negotiations with china by didn't. on the other hand, he seems to take a more defensive approach. he's interested more so in protecting technology, protecting ip, maintaining for trade relationships and everything. so i think it will slow down be a good russian towards. china will certainly slow down and especially if we do have the 2nd wave adult have very virus. i think in that at that point, it's going to be foolish to try to try to pressure china in that respect. so i think when, when

u. s. since it's much cheaper than buying it from saudi arabia. do you see oil exporters in the gulf of mexico following their lead and raising prices as well? i think i think you're probably going to see very marvelous increases, i think right now with, with the outlook for, for, i think energy in the u. s. i think there, there's this firm belief that you're, you're going to probably have studied demand from abroad but, but i think what we have to remember, oh, we're really kept him kept here. yes, i apologize. go on. i, i apologize. i thought i lost you. there is no, i think that there's this, this, i think, belief that right now, opec plus has had to take quota and they've been, even with the market and deficit by over 2000000 barrels. they announced last month that they were only going to increase my $400000.00 in august so, so this is going to work itself out. opec plus does not want to lose market share. and you're going to see that opec plus is going to deliver more barrels of crude in the short term. and i think the binding ministration made that ple

see tensions east not intensified. at the same time, the aging is concerned about the hasty and complete withdrawal of the u. s. presence that they see this is potentially being dangerous. seen is not the truancy for other arm to groups. so china, chinese foreign ministry, one e, held a phone call with you a secretary of state anthony blinking on sunday. and during that call, china demanded that the us play a role in guiding the taliban and possibly even contribute shantarian and even financial support to the country to help smooth out that transition child in foreign minister has made it very clear that they see this whole situation going on as a mess caused by the us and they want to see the us play a role in cleaning that up. no time hasn't recognize itala bond officially, but it is dealing with the taliban as a legitimate political force. taliban leader up to gunny bar of visited china in july and trying to maintain close communication with the taliban. since then, beijing's embassy and couple is still open and aging has pro mr. prey player, a very important role in the economic reconstruction of afghanist

u. s. gulf coast. the entire city of new orleans has lost power. and fireflies on the threat and central mexico by people flocking to see the ah, we begin in afghanistan where the u. s. has carried out a drone strike in cobble targeting suspected suicide bombers. according to some meter reports, 9 members of one family, including 6 children, were among the dead. american officials say they were targeting a group they suspected were planning an attack on the cities airport. well, the us central command has responded to those media reports to 0. gabriel is on the has more than that from washington d. c. the sent come spokesperson saying that they are investigating that they are aware of the media reports and that they are saying that they cannot yet confirm that. but in the statement, they are saying that there were powerful subsequent explosions after the drone strike insinuating that the drone strike hit the vehicle. and then there were caused one explosion, killing those inside. but then there were perhaps, according to that sent com, subsequent explosions as well. emanating from the vehicle, they say again, they're still investigating, but they say

u. s. receded, it's support the tele bond would see on and they just filled that vacuum. i also want to ask, just for a bit of comparison. now president bush talking about rebuilding post taliban afghanistan. recognize the militant islam of the radical idea. ologies could only be discouraged with the building of a safe functioning civil society. biden's was today seemed to suggest otherwise he's kind of washing his hands with it now. well, having washed his hands of it, giving the, giving up. nothing's going to change tele bond will allow al qaeda and, and isis ok. that is the corps on version of isis that are gathering now they more militant groups will be for me in there. and they will, in fact, become a trip to the neighboring countries in the, in central asia and ultimately into the russian federation and even into china. this is, i help train border guards up in news becca, stand because it's done and care to stand. when i was with the department of defense and we were chasing the i am you tracking down coming in from afghanistan. so it's, it never stops. and now tha

u. s. do we see that happening? because when joe biden 1st was talking about china entering the world trade organization, he said they'll never amount to anything. they'll never make any money the, they'll never know how to get a middle class. what's the, what's the current look at that? china has a massive middle class now. it's actually larger than the entire united states population. they identified their targets 20 years ago to have what they call a mildly prosper, prosperous economy. and i think that's like with 250000000 people is making more than 20000 a year. but obviously $20000.00 goes a lot farther and china does in the us chinese workers. i actually ran a steel plant year decade ago in china. we paid workers $100.00 a month, eventually, but 3 years later, we're paying them $800.00 a month. now days chinese workers easily can make 150-2008 month. so it's not a lot, but it's much, much, you know, you have to go back 3040 years ago, china had the economy of subs here and people were live and nothing barely

and yet at the same time you look at this country and you see that the u. s. both the government, both an army and they all fell apart and just like that. and so now we're at this point where finally there's some people who are talking and saying, well, what about the civilians? well, those civilians who have been under the us war for 20 years, who have dealt with bombing year after year. now they are struggling with their new reality. and so i think that that's a good segue into our next topic, which is that we look at these civilians in this country. we see that hundreds of them were lining up to withdraw their own money as a result of the tolerant and take over, trying to get it out of their bank accounts as they fled from their home. and at the same time, the scene has led bitcoin enthusiasts to point out how the broad adoption of crypto could have changed. not only the current chaos surrounding the control of the country, central bank, but also the entire war that led up to it. so for more on this will bring in, tucker, president of the brownstone institu

so i think that what we're seeing in the u. s. right now is it's having some of its own headwinds, and of course any of the china listed facts of the u. s. has gone down separately. but some of the giants here, like microsoft, for example, has hardly budged off the highs even with the market correcting today. so at this point hasn't really been much of an impact. and amid this crackdown, taiwan ts m. c has overtaken 10 cent as age of the most valuable stock hitting a market cap of roughly $540000000000.00. after gaining nearly 10 percent this year alone. is that more about the crackdown pushing 10 percent down or the increased reliance on semiconductors as it's become one of the hardest commodities in tech these days? brand, i would say probably a little bit of both because we do have the demand for some use improving. we've had of course, the supply chain issues going on, and of course the regulations have really what has hit pension. so at this point now i would say that the crackdowns retention has not only hit as hard, but it'

u. s. government weren't anticipating to be seeing any time soon. president biden, the u. s. secretaries states and said it would be highly unlikely to tell him will be able to over the country. how could the intel, how could their opinions have been so wrong? well 1st and foremost, we need to take this back all the way to net bama 2009 of one policy which was disrupt dismantle defeat. he took it over from george bush, you and yet, who was all w to destroy, have gone on as a whole, clear void, bailey try and for what the subsequent policy or the defense policy that was taken in. hillary clinton came up with the building transfer policy. if we look at be cultured or the society of the region, the biggest problem that stands is the wadding drives are the factions which we're not dismantled this mind through what a prime requirement for the new national security diet sport. i do play a role cued me, but on the other hand, we also look at this possibility off of so much finance going and so much effort so much time as well when things did not fall into perspective as well as th

u. s. has been seeing that it was while certainly threatening to do for some time, but it doesn't seem willing to carry that through what, what's the situation with that? yeah, that's right. and it's very, very noticeable because we are seeing we know that in central america, with the exception of costa rica, none of the government have exactly a sterling democratic records, but in the case of nicaragua, in the government have gone further than any other in terms of crushing opponents especially on the, even of the new presidential election. and so we are hearing from the, by the ministration and leave earlier, also from the trumpet ministration. a lot of words of condemnation of what was going on, what is going on in nicaragua, but not the kinds of sanctions that are being slapped on, for example, countries like venezuela or cuba. and one of the reasons i think the main reason is that nickel and central america, i'm sorry, is because it's very, very unstable. right now it is the force of most of the undocumented migrants that are leading towards the border with united states every day in mind

u. s. embassy and see don johnson, i live by skype from washington, d. c, this town isn't in t grey. so why do you think the t p life has made the move to capture it? that's a very good question. i don't think there is any particular military value to the capture of la bella by the grand defense forces. the town is not far from the borders, it's not a long distance for them to go to me. the only explanation would be the fact that very early on in the conflict back in november of last year, the haro militia and the sample government forces captured the world heritage site of walk. so which is the. ready location of the, the auction, former oxen kingdom, inside western te gray and they, they still hold that location up to the present day. it is very difficult for the grand forces to know a terra lay recapture ox own. so i think they probably made a decision to take a lot a bela and are using this as a for cat mo that we will leave blah, blah, blah. if you got lost back. ok, so me so, so how would you say this changes the dynamics of the conflicts because the fact that the t p last of m

u. s. gulf coast. we are seeing i to make landfall in louisiana and it comes 16 years after katrina hit the same area. but this is a much stronger storm. we are expecting a catastrophic storm surge. and that flooding rain is going to be carried through to alabama, mississippi and into tennessee, as it makes its way to the north east. now, the governor of louisiana has said it's preparing for the worst direct hit in a 170 years. so this is going to be an incredibly powerful storm. we are going to watch that and will bring you updates the frank assessments by way. it is, again, freedom, surprising informed opinions what you saw happening get come on to it was $42.00. there was petune is the critical debate that we are here. it's not between kula and any other than we have gone through here and you pick the day 34 years re running to keep people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera oh the ah, you're watching out there remind of our top stories, our us forces have launched a drone s

show a more interesting to see how this would affect the domestic politics in the u. s. was benedict form executive director of the libertarian national committee. thanks for coming in the program. so thanks for having me. now. meanwhile, additional us troops continue to be sent. i've got to start that softer by merely increase the number he was sending to help get american citizens out an additional 1000 to now being deployed on top of the 5000 already allocated over the next 2 days. helicopters and planes were seen flying over the african capital, as nato seeks to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens. hundreds of the us citizens have already left the country and thousands of others a trying to follow suit. the u. s. embassy in the capital load its flag after all software transfer to the full of the war, then the lives in was through and all 1000 us soldiers with many of their colleagues. now questioning what it was all for us veterans, including one that helped reopen the u. s embassy and cobbled back in 2001 share their thoughts with us. well, at this point,

we're seeing that paypal is launching as crypto currency service in the u. k. and the u. s. online payment giant says monday it will let british customers buy, hold and sell digital currencies starting this week. so what does that mean for the continued expansion of crypto? it means that the expansion as well on its way and bitcoin is truly behaving as a real borderless currency. and this is the 1st international expansion of papers crypto service, beyond the u. s. and another hint of the wider adoption of the entire industry. not to mention this also shows what a profitable division crypto is for paypal. very similar to robin hood for it to be expanding so quickly to try to establish market share in the u. k. pay power, rival that of establish crypt current, the exchange such as coin base global as well as resolute. so making such a heavy investment into the crypto industry really by these giants. it really is giving this conviction that crypt those will play in the future of global finance and commerce and not just the fad as so many of the haters continue to preach and be

u. s. and the u. k. o that citizens to just get out of afghanistan. as late as taliban offensive in the country sees the terra group making sweeping territorial gains after a series of rapid advances in rural areas. in the last number of weeks, the insertions are now targeting some big cities as to the northern part of the region here. talking basically about conduce that will become a fall and the 3rd provincial capital seized in the last 3 days. the taliban has taken the governor's office and the police headquarters battle is still ongoing. in some parts of the city. according to reports, 14 people killed, including women and children more than 30 people have been injured. and there are scenes of destruction in conducts with buildings and ruins, or a lay. meanwhile, at least $700.00 former taliban fighters were released after the group captured another regional capital that shut up a gun that's in the north of the country. and this happened just on saturday. that is despite us heavy bombers being sent to the country to strike at various taliban positions of surges are happening all along the north

u. k. and germany, which had the largest number of troops. we'll have to see what the close allies of the u. s. say, we'll have to see what china and russia say as you set said china and russia suggesting that they're close to recognizing the taliban. of course to taliban don't actually have a government in place at the moment. they're in charge, but they have no formal government in carpal. the meeting which starts 40 minutes from now will also be addressed by the u. n. sack general antonio terrorist and we expect him to relay the latest information on the ground from the united nations because you know, of the un mission continues to have all it personnel on the ground. although i'm told that confined to that basis because of the security situation. now the other person we're going to hear from is going to be interesting, and that is, and buster column is exciting. he only less than a month ago, became afghanistan's ambassador to the united nations. he is now an ambassador from a government that no longer exists. what is he going to say that important security council meeting starting it und

u. s. i don't see why there would be one abroad. well, you know, us is much more tread lightly territory for all of them. it's something that we don't feel out of here. i will say that even though their policies can sometimes inconsistent, they change their minds. a lot, all the platforms you this, their motivations remain largely the same across all of these incidents. we've seen over time, i think for twitter and they've consistently been concerned mostly with ideology. they haven't really looked at profits as their main driver. they've always considered themselves to be the kind of global forum where anyone, unless they violate their policies directly and very seriously, can speak their mind and have a public record of what that being said. facebook always concerned with p. r and prophets optics. how do they look, are they going to get regulated? how much money are they still able to make this has been pretty consistent and i think their actions in afghanistan follow that path. you will get tick tock. they're concerned about nobo

many are very happy to see the u. s. fleet. that is, without a doubt, the iranians are very happy to see the americans go. the american presence enough on the sand has been nothing but a great minutes for the whole, for the region as a whole. and in fact, that's their occupation of our on the sun and their brutality and fun fun and their support for crop leaders that has led to the rise of the taller bond. again, the american created the taliban in the 1st place and there they are. mismanagement in food talent in the country has led to the re emergence of the taller pop, but but neighboring countries do have an interest in preventing extremism. while how business fell. f s m x 40 from saudi arabia, among other countries. they have an interest in preventing this from rising. and as i said, the countries are stronger today than they were before us. i'm. i'm not pessimistic, but we have to be very cautious about the taliban and their intentions. and especially when we asked to be cautious about those why have you received that have

u. s. military aircraft 27. see 17 in 5. see one thirty's departed with approximately 4000 personnel combined with 34 coalition aircraft departures an additional 2800 personnel left cool for various intermediate staging basis. $66.00 flights left out of the ball yesterday in that 24 hour period with $6800.00 evacuees. today, i can report an updated total evacuation that is more than 117000. the vast majority of which are afghans of this total number, approximately $5400.00 are american citizens. this is an incredible number of people who are now safer, thanks to the heroism of the young men and women who are putting their lives on the line each day to evacuate american and vulnerable afghans out of control. threats to our forces and to this operation remain real and significant. i'm sure you can appreciate that. and now with the military mission, trend begins to ending to bull. thousands of service members are working across the globe and within the united states to complete this incredibly important mission. out of the you

because you'll never see that here in the u. s. if regulations are coming, you see facebook and google fight tooth and nail. maybe been off a division house somewhere else off shore where it won't have to comply, maybe creat another division. make up a thing like content moderator or something where the decorated official heading up the department to appease us regulators. it's a banded, they're not really complying because the repercussions are non threatening in the us. we talked about how facebook files are basically a joke to them. meanwhile, in china, the threat of noncompliance is very real. and it's something that companies are afraid of. so that makes them moderate themselves, even as technically there aren't any rules out yet. so it's actually kind of good that they're able to rein in their own behavior in a way that like more appropriate, less monopolistic, and more for the good of the whole without being explicitly told. and now chris have about 30 seconds left, but i want to ask this point here because the combined net w
