well, we have to look at the u. s. with, they're all going to in the life of the why the security concerns of the us regionally and globally, the u. s. government has learned at that when you destroy and national is the stomach movement locked up all of on. as they did similar groups in iraq, the remnants or the left over fighters and go on and joined the stomach state. and they will pose a much more potent threat to the u. s. interest in the region. overall, the threat of kaiser and the stomach, a state is seen by the us security analyst, that persistent condition and not as an existing short threat to the u. s. strategic interests in the region and globally, also the stomach, a state has been engaged in africa and the deserts of syria. and there are basically contain their use would like to keep the fighting, confined to those areas. and the main issue for the use of the moment is the re emergence of long term strategic competition from russia and china. and for that reason, the u. s. does not want to be bulk down in

u. s. to the point where it's finally back to where it was at the beginning of the pandemic. improve demand here in the u. s. is still. ready recovery and reopening oriented, and hopefully that stays the case. some really critical things happen last week that i do want to mention very quickly. last week was really the most volatile. we've seen oil and some time down 10 percent. lots of dots to connect their weight and unwind in a variety of equity and debt segments within china. and there's $22.00 ideas that you've got to grab here, a 12 trillion dollar debt market showing weakness has serious implications. and we began to see that across multiple segments, no doubt that a continued market route would have pressured, chinese investor, the chinese economy. and therefore, we saw commodity use come under significant pressure with the all commodities. but obviously oil was, was there to, gold was the one stand out. it actually was not at a pressure at all. even this week, as oil prices of recovere

u. s. threatened to de la chinese companies forcing institutional to divest interests and chinese companies. and let's not forget tick tock. the u. s. tried to force it to sell itself over to an american company, which essentially is legal theft, a chinese i. p. and now it looks like the future battle ground of tech will lie within user data, which is a valuable commodity and something which foreign companies will not want to turn over to the u. s. yeah, it really is interesting to see how china is responding to the policies we've seen from the u. s. over the last few years. now another story that came up this week was the fact that the chinese government is also moving to regulate the algorithms used by tech companies like fight, dance, and tens, that whole thing. now of course, china is known, having strict controls that band, the majority of social media sites we use here in the u. s. so what kind of an impact is this restriction on individual algorithms expected to have? well, i think it's a huge, over step by the government to try to regulate the algorithms of private company. essentia

yeah, and it is interesting to see how the u. s. has almost tried to get us to rely on the u. s. and it's help. and, you know, on one hand, we have biden's saying that china and russia would want nothing more than the then for the u. s. to keep feeling billions of dollars into a war they can't win. but on the other hand, the more hawkish members of his administration are already warning about. like you mentioned, china and russia having even more influence on the region and working with the country. so even with the 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

u. s. president will take part in a digital g 7 summit. later on tuesday, there is almost certain to face questions from european allies over what help, what plans the u. s. has and is prepared to give an order to a healthier because ultimately the situation revolving around a gun that's done. and people coming here to europe, stems from the u. s. decision to pull those troops. gonna start amid the chaotic pull out from i've got to stand wiki leaks and i was drawing attention to its past revelations about what was, is america's longest war and a series of twitter. post the organization, republish classified us documents, and which had 1st lead to the public a decade ago. but then wikileaks found that during the sounds want the goals of us intervention, endless war beneficial to only a few. he said back then, total court to take up the story. the swift fall of the afghan capital cast a dark shadow over every sacrifice made in the fight against the taliban. but there is a man who tried to stop things from going down this road. his name is julian, a son, she is the co founder of wiki le

u. s. has to show for its mission and i've got to stand other benefits which the country well did enjoy under the u. s. protectorate, like an improvement in women's rights, a lower infant mortality rate and more children going to school. all of that is now left at the taliban mercy. while the ruling leads in washington, too busy writing, revisionist history. u. s. army combat veteran corey mill says we're always to clear objectives of the mission to eliminate the terrorist threat, and to rebuild the nation. what went wrong, the minute that americans thought that we were in the business of nation building, what we went over there to do in the very beginning. and i was part of that was to eliminate the terrorists who were responsible for the $911.00 attack and also stop being a safe haven to terrorism that have been done and perfect that with cpr operation irregular warfare. a symmetric warfare and spent operation forces with the, with the support of the intelligence communities, basically going out

u. s. continues, of course, to freeze afghan assets. there will be a lack of dollars flowing into afghanistan, the sort of arrangement which the former afghan government had of dollars coming in from the u. s. to pay salaries. that's all going to come to bad very soon. right june. that's going to bite the afghan economy very soon. i suspect are there are negotiations going on even now about what to do about those assets and the that i also suspect that the united states government and let's be very careful here. we keep talking about united states, united states, united states, the mood in the united states now is get the heck out of afghanistan and leave it to its own devices. and it is going to be very, very difficult, no matter how wise people and the biden and administration have ideas for yes, it would be in the best interest reunited to help stabilize that they're going to have to overcome severe domestic resistance. and i don't see the path forward for the taliban, stabilizing the country. to be that easy. this morning i saw a vid

u. s. to grant company exemptions from some cares and begin the process of lowering have on chinese goods in general. because with this rising global inflation, all these businesses need every single cent they can get. now, professor wolf, we've heard the argument for both the biden administration and the trump administration, that the u. s. need to stand up to china. but is there any indication that the trade war has actually helped us businesses? and to that point, if tariffs aren't the answer, what is the answer in a trade or a trade dispute? that is to say, between the 2 worlds, 2 largest economy? well, let me answer the easy part. first. the government of the united states under the trump, imposed a set of tower ups whose major purpose as many of us said, was going to be a burden of taxation on american companies importing those goods from china. and now having to pay the united states government the tags, mr. drunk kept saying the china would pay the tax because he didn't want americans

u. s. to withdraw was handled. germany had the 2nd largest military presence in afghanistan after the united states in figuring enough on a sunday stop on a 2 week off baton deutschland, the development and i've given us down is bitter for germany and the other allied nations. under the leadership of the usa and nato fought after the terror attacks of september 11 for 20 years against terrorism and for freedom on the bidding and cobbler sent over extreme should really we have to realize that an independent role of germany or other european forces during the nato mission in afghanistan was not possible. we have always said that we were fundamentally depending on the decisions of the american government stuff. well, afghans who worked for the us and nato forces are worried for the safety of their family members. a former interpreter who now lives in france, says only a miracle, can save his relatives in afghanistan. i am a realtor of just because of my work, please. you can government not punish

u. s. to drop deadline of august the 31st g 7 to fail to agree on whether to extend the evacuation beyond that date. despite please from some of the leaders, the rally has more details. the leaders of the g 7 nations taking part in a virtual meeting. of course the top issue on the agenda was i've kind of thought and what to do the nation such as the u. k. and frank trying to take the opportunity to plead with us president joe biden, to extend that deadline for evacuation beyond august the 31st. but joe biden, sticking to that day to those countries, of course, want us to remain at least couple airport to help with evacuation efforts are, are many diplomats in foreign officials sit and i found a song. but of course, also africa who, selves who works with the occupation over the course of the last 20 years. but we also saw that you are the europe and commission president vonda lion coming forward to speak about whether or not that would be a formal recognition of the tyler bond. and there will 4

u. k. although she's never denied her guilt, she fled back to the u. s. claiming diplomatic immunity. an extradition request by the u. k was denied in july prime minister barak. johnson raised the issue in a meeting with president biden, the latter express sympathy to the family and said the 2 countries were working together on the case. later this month, hurry dunn's parents will come face to face with mister coolest. for the 1st time in a court house in virginia, a civil claim they filed is heard that done from the spokes person against these progress is being made thanks to continued media coverage. we count many americans amongst us as our friends. we supported these people for decades and diminished. one of their employees killed harry lar reaction was to not stop and think about this family and the consequences that they faced. but they thought about themselves. they recalled her, and the catastrophic miscalculation that they made was that nobody would find out about it. and thanks to your good sales to your colleagues in the media. thank goodness you all came to this family supp

to contain china. and it also describes the u. s. approach as outdated cold war thinking intended to create division and confrontation. now one of the things that harris will have to contend with during her visit is answering questions about of gonna start collapse and answering questions about us as credibility and commitment in keeping his foreign policy promises bow. the head of has the law, those fuel from iran will soon be arriving in lebanon. fuel prices jump by 70 percent off to the government, further reduced to subsidy on sunday, lebanon is going through its worst economic crisis in recent times. fuel imports from iran could ease the problem, but it would be a violation of un sanctions. evidence economic crisis is getting so bad. the government has announced students will only be allowed to attend school for 4 days . will be management has that must be the result of failure to make fuels available in the subsequent soaring prices. it is decided to allow schools to open 4 days a week, only, especially as the educational syst

how are they likely to be impacted by the u. s. breathing all funds and trying to isolate the country's new leadership? well, i'm afraid it's going to do exactly what the 20 years of fruitless war did cement, the hostility, the bitterness, the anger, i mean, can you imagine what it must mean after a war like this to be told that the united states is in some way gone to withhold help to fight colvin. and let me assure you, the chinese, the indians, though russians and others, are stepping right up to assure this new government that they will not be left without support and help. this is a country here, the united states on speaking of that is doing the things that may play to domestic politics, but in terms of the world, they are shooting themselves right in the foot. yet it is interesting to see how the u. s. has almost tried to get us to rely on the u. s. and it's help. and, you know, on one hand, we have biden's saying that china and russia would want nothing more than the then for the u. s. to keep feeling billions of dollars i

to fix it. this is nothing new for us aligned regime. the u. s. back saigon government in south vietnam was notorious for corruption. and that probably contributed to the overall victory of the communists. nicer. he was convinced that mister to you had succeeded in removing from the country a substantial portion of south vietnam's estimated total of 26 tons of gold preserves form an aid sale to profiting by control of corrupt regime left vietnam. a billionaire outside gone and cargo have fallen, but the usa is still as its buddies around the world. take the cars on a family that rules iraqi kurdistan. the families spent $50000000.00 on beverly hills, mansion alone, the prime minister of iraqi kurdistan. a member of the cars on a family actually spent over $3000000.00 in a car casino in a single night. now keep in mind that since 2014, the united states has sent over $3000000000.00 in humanitarian. a looks like american taxpayers have been subsidizing the lives of a luxury for white house cronies across the planet. while the infrastructure of the un

u. s. need to have a digital dollar is that other countries are racing to issue their own central bank back digital currencies though is inevitable that the u. s. will create its own digital currency eventually. yeah, i think it absolutely is inevitable. it's definitely on its way. it will definitely become a reality. so this goes back to what kristi was just talking about. i believe the reason why congress thinks that they're going after crypto currency to raise revenue. that's what they would call it. i don't believe that's revenue, but they will call it raising revenue. we're going to go after this, this industry and we're going to tax it heavily and we're going to be able to take revenue from that and use it. but i think there's another force at play here or and more so it says, let's clear the deck. let's get rid of the competition because a u. s. central back digital currency is on its way. there's no question about that. and when it arrives, the fed doesn't want any kind of competition for t

and he's promising to change on the ground with doctors in the u. s. warren hospitals may run out of space to treat children with coven. 19 a surgeon. pediatric cases is hit new pandemic records. the vaccine is authorized for kids age 12 and often the u. s. leaving younger children, particularly vulnerable, should warn viewers that they may find some of the video in the story. to be disturbing. heidi joe castro reports now. the 1st aurora cannon is 3 and battling cove it inside in oklahoma hospital. her mother is a nurse who says she likely pass the virus to her daughter from an unvaccinated patient. the mother posted these videos on social media to show the world the price her young child is paying. writing. if you choose not to be vaccinated, you've made a choice for my daughter to your choice lead to my innocent child being hospitalized . pediatric intensive care units across the southern us are filling with children, diagnosed with cove. it who are too young to be vaccinated themselves. these patients sometimes can't breathe and we have to help them

to vietnam. later in the week is part of a u. s. outreach to asia. the u. s. is increasingly worried about china's growing influence, particularly its efforts to claim large parts of the south china sea. this is also where the u. s. navy has retained the been carrying out freedom of navigation operations, something that china views as a provocation. none us president joe biden is not the 1st to want closer ties with the region. us. president barack obama had his pivot to asia policy, which was essentially about rebalancing foreign policy away from the middle east towards asia down. so for the us, part of it will look like strengthening ties with countries in the region, particularly those with competing claims in the south china sea against china. because these countries, many of these countries are coming on to increasing pressure from china. so strengthening ties. so that the u. s. can be viewed as a counterweight to growing chinese influence. now come, la harris is expected to not only put out the layout, the future of us ties in the region, but also to talk

it doesn't want countries to have to choose between china and the u. s, but it once need, but once the waterways to be open because this is an important trading route. and then she also talked about how the u. s. partnership is for the long term, and it's also not just in terms of economy. the u. s. she said, has an interest in making sure people are safe. and she talked about us donating vaccines to contain the spread of corona virus to bring it into the pandemic. and that's what she talked about, that the u. s. is here for the long term, to offer itself as a counterweight to china's rising influence. many thanks to that, florence, louis that for us in kuala lumpur, tennessee as president, has extended the suspension of parliament until further notice nearly a month after taking on emergency powers case said sac, the prime minister took over public prosecutions. of politicians froze parliament last month. his critics labeled at a qu, but side said, bad governance di economy and a surgeon coven 19 outbreak justified his actions. lebanon's economic crisis

to have died. people were massed outside the force of course, where they've been for the past week, desperately hoping for a flight out of cobble despite the u. s. u. k. in australia, wanting them to stay away because of an imminent threat from an iso affiliate and a passed out of the reuters news agency report that the group has claimed responsibility. they have claimed responsibility themselves for this attack. the us and u. k. continuing to use the airport to evacuate the citizens troops and afghan allies, but germany, denmark, belgium, and canada of now ended their evacuations. we continue to focus on the protection of our forces in the evacuees. as the evacuation contains, let me be clear while were saddened by the loss of life. both us and afghan were continued to execute the mission. our mission is to evacuate us citizens, 3rd country nationals, special immigrant visa holders, u. s embassy staff, and afghans at risk. despite this attack, we are continuing the mission, the evacuation at best speed. and as of today, we have approximately 5000 evacuees on the ramp at h, kyle, awaiting earlier. well, the airport lies just 5 kilometers from c

speaking of going all the way to the u. s. supreme court states have the legal and constitutional authority to require that people who live in that state be vaccinated or to introduce the vaccine mandate. and this goes back to a case dating in 1905, had to do with smallpox. that comes from a case in massachusetts jacobson versus massachusetts. there was actually a smallpox outbreak in cambridge and cambridge introduced an ordinance that required all adults to be vaccinated or re vaccinated against smallpox or face a $5.00 fine. and in this one guy suit, he said, you can't make me do that and the u. s. supreme court heard the case and said, oh, contrary, we can make you do that because one state police powers in the us constitution and to we are going to consider the great good, like for a health emergency, which was that was what it was considered. the greater good outweighs the needs of the individual. so there is a precedent if states do want to move forward with requiring this kind of vaccination. it just depends on if sta

if there are more americans that want to come out of afghanistan after the u . s. has left the airport joe biden saying the taliban has self interest because they want to keep the airport open after the u. s. leaves. they might need some help with the u. s. with that for that. the taliban clearly wants the u. s. out sooner rather than later, the u. s. want out sooner rather than later. so there's a lot of mutual interest here that the u. s. and joe by saying we don't trust the taliban, but for now we at least will work with them. gabriel. this is one of those very sort of difficult days for us. presidents were 13 service, military personnel have been killed. how is all of this playing out in the us for the president? and what was the reaction to the comments he made just a short time ago? well, after joe biden speech, actually admiral william fallon was on al jazeera to give an interview over the phone, william foul and his retired admiral from the marine corps. but he's not just any retired admiral. he is the former head of central command, and he told us that he d

to tell you about, including this a former u. k. prime minister who sent troops into i've got to stand blas, snow the u. s. decision to pull out calling the reasoning behind it. imbecilic people look at that are more women by the this is your media. a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation or community. ah, you're going the right way. where are you being somewhere? direct? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah. the former british prime minister tony blair, than who sent u. k. troops into i've gotten this done today. years ago, criticized the u. s. decision now to pull out branding with justifications behind it. imbecilic. we didn't need to do it. we chose to do it. we did it in a b, d, and to an embassy political slogan about ending the forever was. blair added that britain's involvement in the region was not hopeless despite the taliban to advance, and the u. k. has a moral obligation to stay in the country now until the afghans who need to be are evacuated. but journali

to win. it all started so well. the u. s. invaded the taliban, fled to the mountains, the u. s. trained and trained and train the new. i've got an army, spend billions on supplying it with more noms. we spent over a trillion dollars. we trained and equipped an afghan military force. some 300000 strong. we gave them every tool they could need all of us in vain, only for the taliban to seize all the equipment. as soon as i've got to stand fools, which strengthen their already solid position in the country, the comprehension of the situation on the ground was also far from what you might expect from the country, deeming itself the military and intelligence superpower. the united states currently lacks a comprehensive strategy to gates reconstruction efforts in afghanistan. it also lacks overarching plants with clearly defined metrics to guide its work in a number of key areas, such as anti corruption, connor narcotics, health, education, gender rule of law and water. all this lead to the inevitable corruption, the thriving within the security forces. there glaring ineffectiveness

it's now 2nd only to canada when it comes to supplies of the fuel to the u. s. impulsive, true to refine petroleum products from russia. grew 23 percent in may amount into $900.00 barrels a day. mexico 3rd of to canada and russia though it accounts for less than 3 percent of us imports. so america has been buy morris in all despite tensions with moscow in the energy sector. indeed, washington regards, which is huge, no stream to gas pipeline project, a threat to european energy security july germany in the u. s. rates to deal under that berlin will take action if moscow tries to use the pipeline to apply political pressure or to commit aggressive acts against ukraine to yours. but it only has almost completely microsoft now would i be found if we got to ultimately it's in contradiction to the use own energy security goals. i'm sure i'll have an opportunity to reiterate that. including the law, the united states, which requires us to sanction companies participating in the efforts to complete the pipeline commentator alexander bruno believes that america is depe

u. s. and the nato allies. in addition to the u. s. suspending as plans to continue funding the now overthrown government, the i m f confirmed. it was cutting $370000000.00, and cobit relief paid the world bank that it would freeze over $2000000000.00 in active funding. and the you confirmed it would freeze $1400000000.00 in aid that was supposed to be released over the next 4 years. all of this, as washington continues to block access to $9500000000.00 and haskin reserve stored in us banks, which includes $1300000000.00 worth of gold and new york rushes envoy to afghanistan, called on the u. c s to release the government's asset, saying that if washington truly cared about the fate of the afghan people, then there is no need to create additional problems for them. and the form of freezing the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the afghan state. he went on to know that if the u. s. doesn't do so, is likely to create even more chaos as the country is forced to turn to illegal profits for ms. skyrocketing opium production or the bil

to fulfill its strategic needs. we have russia, 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 foot to be able to win a war. what influence your politics far away from the us? us have failed so many obvious allies, making new tons of from the support open night for whatever countries not of decor, inches of the us. not anglo merkel. the time is german, chancellor is almost up. but if her chosen successor thing seat inheriting rock solid public support, you might want to avoid the poles in the papers. because for the 1st time in 15 years, the dominant coalition party is actually behind peter oliver explains 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 christine social union. the conservative union block by 23 point to 22, the greens coming in in 3rd. and the most recent polling it

u. s. to temporarily taken 2000 and afghans fleeing the country and turkey has begun evacuating its military personnel from travel airport. the taliban has reportedly asked for a technical help from anchor us or run the airport. but once its troops out of the country before the august 31st deadline, turkey has been part of the nato is mission and i've got a son and has hundreds of troops station there. hundreds of afghans are trying to enter pakistan at the busy tour. come border crossing, but without proper documents, many are unable to get through. some i've been job age reports in the past on i've got a son border from 3rd from atlanta son i've just entered the door on the box is fine . if i, this is the main border crossing between the 2 countries for trade and for people. as you can see, taliban fighters are manning all the border post across the country with neighboring countries, including central agents, states, market fun and iran. and these fighters have been telling us that they're

to leave. first, i think all of you know, the u. s. government does not track americans movements when they travel around the world. when americans visit a foreign country or if they reside there, we encourage them to enroll with the u. s. embassy. whether they do or not is up to them is voluntary. and then when americans leave a foreign country, it's also up to them to de enroll. again. that's a choice, not the requirement. particularly given the security situation that can stand for many years, we have urged americans not to travel there. we've repeatedly asked americans who are not going to stand to enroll. and since march of this year, we've sent 900 separate messages to americans enrolled with the embassy and campbell, encouraging and then urging them to leave the country. we've amplified those direct messages on the state department website. and on social media, we even made clear that we would help pay for their repatriation. and we provided multiple communication channels for americans to contact us if they are in afghanistan

and that's what it is. efforts as to why the u. s. d and pull afghan sooner. well, the president said some just simply didn't want to leave and that the afghan government, he said, did not want to create panic by allowing the u. s. to pull thousands of people ahead of time that will argue way. that will be a big point of contention. i'm sure, finally, scotty, the president said that the buck stops with him at a quote. i know my decision will be criticized, but i'd rather have that and pass, and i was wor onto yet another president and administration and quote that you, john, you know, i find for now and keep you real quick while i have you used the press conference. i listened to it, it was interesting because there was really no new information, was almost like a speech that he could give it a week ago. there was nothing specifically addressing what we were, what we're seeing in the videos, in the photos going on the streets right now. you know, was there a chance for him to take questions from journalist? i have a feeling, a lot of them had some now that's th

to leave afghanistan de so safely. but it's not known if the taliban will go along with this. the u. s. hopes the resolution will protect people's rights to leave ask, honestly, no matter. the reason kristen salumi reports now from the u. n. as the u. s. was completing its withdrawal from afghanistan. the security council was voting on a resolution meant as a message for the taliban, that the world is watching. one such commitment which the taliban has made publicly and privately, is that those who wish to leave afghanistan will be able to do so. today's resolution signals just how seriously the security council takes that commitment along with the commitments to allow humanitarian aid to flow and prevent terrorism . russia and china expressed concern that afghan, a stan could again become a safe haven for armed groups who could attack other countries. but they abstained from the vote. more with perhaps a fleet had more time. the result of the vote would have been different. at the same time, we can see in this an attempt to shift the blame for the failure to collapse after 20 years of

u. s. empire and the neoconservatives to run u. s. foreign policy is that it's going to make them harder to continue. so there needs to be a lot more criticism and exposure of what the reality is versus what are the promises and the, the false estimates by us intelligence officials. so cobble that board is still overcrowded, with people struggling to flee, while the list of countries conducting rescue operations seems quite long. the number of those who have actually managed to get evacuated out of a, it's still relatively small. and these are some of the problems that people face of the us doesn't have enough troops to got the app or to provide security along the taliban checkpoints. now, some countries have security doubts about taking refugees in an approach supplied with the return of their own citizens. fair enough, one might imagine how the u. s. has evacuated the largest number of nationals so far and plans to rescue 22000 refugees by the end of august. as the u. k, the authorities have so far brought back more than 300 briti
