a u.s. military interrogation room -- this was going to be a free of what they called will. 1949, they called for mandatory repatriation. we need more discussion here. it was due to this debate that the interrogation room became the flashpoint of a heated international controversy. as the interrogation room came under scrutiny, this became a measure of the respective states's legitimacy and this is what was really stunning for me and my research, but you have this moment in 1952 where different states and organizations are actually putting forward the argument that there interrogation room was going to be the most efficacious in terms of democratic processes. i found that very stunning. and that's really out my deeper dive into this material began. my book reveals how the global visions of the u.s. secretary of state dean addison, indian president nehru, the south korean president, and the north were contingent on thousands of acts of disciplining, subjects. the book opens up in u.s. occupie

the u.s. is wildly popular. it's one of the things were you wonder if there will be lasting damage with our partners in the region. today the plan has been to move i --s into iraq and do anti-isis operations there as needed. they said that they welcome their friends and we are happy to be the way station, but they can't stay here. that seems to throw yet another wrench into the pentagon's plans for how to handle the situation. host: when the secretary of state was talking about anti-isis operations, how did you see that being conducted? what was the green light for troops to come back across the border? guest: that is one of the big questions the pentagon is still sorting out right now. officials have told us that they plan to continue to do reconnaissance operations, essentially flying drones over syria syria, may be keeping an eye on the isis camps that are still active and being protected by the forces there. maybe make sure that we keep an eye on these things. the thought that it has follo

i look at the u.s., and the u.s. itself is developed, but u.s. development efforts have not created the future we want. why don't we try something else? expensive doing it is and it is slow. and, i think the chinese have laid out an argument that the u.s. is doing some things somebody needs to do. the u.s. is doing things which fulfill u.s. domestic needs. it makes lawyers and accountants happy, but they don't lead to development and the rest of the world -- in the rest of the world. you could just have trade relations and maybe that is ok. i think what it prompts us to wenk about is not how do convince everybody the chinese are wrong, that the chinese model won't work. i think what we have to persuade people again is that there are aspects of the u.s. model which really do work and are affordable for us and affordable for you, and the partnership and the work and the predictable expectations create a much better world than the world we are going to. rew in poughkeepsie, new york, which was the home of ibm. you understand, i just got here on a qu

the u.s. operates out of. jordan is one that was mentioned. you know, potentially saudi arabia would welcome more u.s. forces. they clearly want more forces to be there and feel comfortable with that. there are a lot of u.s. bases in the area. things like small airstrikes, drone strikes, there are options. but the issue the pentagon has been talking about for years now has come to the floor. that if we leave right now, we won't be able to hold the territory and if you don't hold the territory, isis may build back up, take control in build something different. hold the >> don't we currently have thousands of troops stationed in iraq? do they have to go? >> no, just the troops in syria. >> what are those troops doing? >> training members of the military there, they are primarily focused on making sure that in iraq remains stable. >> talking this morning to aaron mehta, of "defense news." a good person to talk to about our military forces. we have a line for active and retired members of the mili

the u.s. futures don't look quite as bad. a big selloff we saw yesterday. the pound had rallied on hopes that the eu was considering helping boris johnson by limiting the time the backstop is in place. the pound fell. right now we are at 12283 against the dollar is no deal brexit is back on the table in a substantial way. you see yields now rising as investors are selling debt. they did buy it yesterday on concern about the manufacturing numbers that disappointed the market. thosere now selling treasuries and pushing the yield up to 1.66%. speaking of manufacturing, the u.s. economy is losing speed. economists are wondering how slow it can go without dipping into a recession. growth below 2% would have almost guaranteed a contraction. now some economists believe the u.s. will continue at around 1% to 1.5 percent without falling under. this would be a decline in the speed.onomy stall that is an aviation term. the economic equivalent is the point at which growth is no longer self-sustaining. the

t's all about the continuing escalation of the u.s.-china trade war. u.s.kets closed lower on tuesday, this is as bloomberg learned that the trump administration is discussing restrictions on port polio flows into china. that includes a particular focus on investments made by u.s. government retirement funds. joining me to discuss bloomberg's stocks editor dave wilson in new york. dave, start with just talking to that we saw selloff a little bit today. how much did china play a role in this? dave: well, they certainly played a role to the extent that if you look at chinese companies here in the form of american deposits and receipts, they took a hit. i mean we're talking about retailer alibaba holding down 4%. j.d.com down 4%. the other search engine 2% and we started to see how the back and forth between up u.s. and china is showing in terms of individual companies and industries. i say that because three biggest eclines in the s&p 500 today were lab equipment companies, they were all down more than 6%. a had this dutch company, competitor of theirs come o

indeed the u.s. president went to great lengths describe it at one point like a movie talking about being in the situation room of the white house where he was able to watch this unfold as the u.s. special forces rained down or bear down on the ice a leader not only describing the sort of final moments where he underscore that he had died like a coward but also who surrounded him as this played out the defense secretary the national security adviser the chair of the joint chiefs of staff of the u.s. forces among others i think that the u.s. president tried to make the point in this seemed to be geared towards trying to counter eisel ideology the president talking many times about the matter which the isolator died in the hopes that his followers would recognize that he was no hero if you will in fact this is a point that has been underscored by the u.s. defense secretary that has been speaking here in the united states saying that well the ice a leader has been killed what is still very challenging f

the u.s.n friday after the jobs report was good enough to make investors by more stocks. how does asia look this morning? thana: after that better expected u.s. data ahead of the weekend, it looks like the focus for investors is squarely back on trade with the latest headlines saying the china side is looking to narrow the scope of discussion, not providing any positivity ahead of the talks. it is looking like asia trade will get started to a muted and mixed open. china and hong kong markets are closed in australia is on holiday, which is why we might see some trading. last week, the nikkei fell 1.5%. osby futures fell last week. to the trade headlines, markets are digesting the hong kong protests dragging on as well as the headlines. attching boards and looking currency reactions to the latest trade headlines, a little bit of a risk off sentiment. losses, downarlier about 1/10 of a percent. earlier we saw the yen strength into a one month high. looking at the offshore yen, it is weakening to

u.s. and greek officials are hailing this visit as the high point of greek u.s. relations and it's true that we have not before seen greece sign an open ended mutual defense cooperation agreement which is what's expected to happen in the foreign ministry behind me in the coming hours that agreement won't have to be renewed every year and it won't have to be ratified by parliament which suggests that both sides see the defense relationship as broadening and deepening from what we've learned it involves investment by u.s. armed forces and contractors in their defense infrastructure throughout the country and an expansion of the u.s. 6 fleets based port at souda bay in crete the establishment of a helicopter base in the north eastern greek city of alexandria police strategically placed very near the turkish border and other joint defense programs there is of course the element of u.s. turkey relations as well that is assisting the growth of this u.s. creek relationship in both energy and defe

on the u.s.p has had a couple comments that people thought are kind of over the map, but i think they clearly distill into something and that is that trump is not aligned with a lot of republicans in washington on this. turkey is a nato ally. president trump will host turkey's president or to one -- erdogan at the white house in short order. the president is pretty allied with turkey. he warned the turks not to massacre people but other than that, other than verbal warnings, the white house has made clear it will not stand in turkey's way. shery: this coming at a time when president trump has domestic issues with the impeachment saga continuing in washington. what's the latest on that? it is quite an interesting development. the white house has said they are not going to participate further in the impeachment inquiries. a series of letters and things going back between the white house and nancy pelosi's office, we just got a response from nancy pelosi right before i came on that basically said th

the move came just as u.s. and chinese negotiators began preparations for trade talks for later this week. we have two of our trade experts on opposite sides of the globe. tom mackenzie in beijing and sarah mcgregor in los angeles. let's start with you. what exactly has the trump administration done to restrict business around these companies? administrationp took a similar move today as it did against a company like huawei, where it put it on a blacklist. u.s. companies are barred from doing business with these chinese companies. there are a lot of american suppliers in california who deal with these chinese companies. some of thed from people in silicon valley that it does hurt the u.s. companies as well, and so, with this action today, that really became a bit of a surprise because it was put on the back burner. the trump administration theseced blacklisted from companies are surveillance firms, ai firms, over human rights violations. paul: so tom, what do we know about these companies? they are involved in

the with the u.s. will in the game without the u.s. in the game this is a risky game and he is a politician foremost and all the field marshal his military operations have been very very let's say limited and i think he will think twice before he said he goes in with power the point is if he goes in or not he has already achieved his political goals that's what i want to emphasize he has managed in a very critical situation for him to align his own interests with the interests of russia and this is something that is this is like. a big deal and he's still not losing anything yeah or play time maybe you know just like making the same threat and i'm not sure that it's i'm not sure that that's the case steve so we're we're out of time unfortunately but we're going to invite both of you back because i have a feeling we're going to be talking about this again very soon steven cook joining us from washington daniel they are very much a studio to both of you gentlemen thank you very good discussion thank you nice to be here were turkey's plan

u.s.. both countries have a very different version about the success of nuclear talks which took place in stockholm this weekend. the first meeting and eight months was described as washington as good discussions, while pyongyang's version was the opposite. talksp nuclear envoy said did not meet negotiations and broke down. this came after a string of nuclear launches -- missile launches including one on wednesday. feintexit, the prospects of a brexit look even more so after boris johnson repeated his vowed to take the u.k. after the european union at the end of the month one way or the other. he told french president emmanuel macron that the eu should not have the mistake that -- i believe in the you cable stay after october 31. johnson said quote, we will be packing our bags and walking out, unqoute. china -- unquote. china dipped a bit in september. official figures from the pboc fell below estimates to just over $3 trillion. but boosted boosted its gold reserves for a 10th straight mil

for the u.s. to get this aggressive a couple of days before negotiations, i do not think markets are realistically pricing and a failure in these trade talks. alix: what that look like? vincent: maybe another 300 points in the dow, and dollar-yen crossing the what i six, and the 10 year -- the 106, and the tenure back to 1.40%. issuesuch an sensitive for china. china would love to dominate the ai world. they are relatively close. i think the u.s. sees that. i would not be surprised to see them pushing back against it. 40 out -- 48 hours before the trade talks start, they are sending a signal that trump once this grain deal, and is not going to accept a little mini deal they've been talking about. i would be surprised if liu he doesn't even make the trip. alix: it stems back to what we heard over the weekend, which was taking an electoral property off the table. ?hat do you think, damian damian?do you think, damian: if he's using human rights, it is kind of uncharted territory for him to lean on th

he also oversaw the u.s. response -- perhaps not the u.s. response but the u.s. messaging when it came to conflict in ukraine, the russian annexation of crimea, it was 2014 where you had russia lops off a chunk of ukraine, annexes crimea and then the war begins in eastern ukraine in the spring of that year. it was the first hot war in the region in an extremely long time, and you know, biden really carried obama's messaging on that in the region. >> was it only the united states that was worried about corruption in ukraine at this point? >> no, absolutely not. i mean, this has been an issue for the european union, for the united states allies in europe, and also for international institutions such as international monetary fund. so things like, you know, the corner stone of the i guess conspiracy theory that you can call it that has been pushed about joe biden in ukraine is that he was pushing for the ukrainians to remove their prosecutor general, shokin that he was doing that inappropriately, that he was trying to do it to shield his son hunter biden who was on

the u.s. is doing things which fulfill u.s. domestic needs and they make accountants happy, but they don't actually lead to development in the rest of the world and you can just have trade relations and maybe that's okay, and i think what it prompts us to think about is not how do we convince everybody the chinese are wrong, that the chinese model won't work. i think what we have to persuade people again is that there are aspects of the u.s. model which really do work and are affordable for us and affordable for you and the partnership and the rules and the predictable expectations creates a much better world than the world we're going to. i grew up in poughkeepsie, new york, which was the home of ibm. wexler is also from poughkeepsie which means i just got here on a quota. the poughkeepsie quota. ibm in the 1980s decided to get into the personal computer business. and they decided the most expensive part of personal computers is building personal computers and they let this microsoft called microsoft sell the operating system.

the u.s. is hurting china's chances of becoming a world leader in the sector days before trade talks is due to resume the americans insist the blacklisting has nothing to do with the trade talks saying it keeps human rights and economic concerns separate however the white house is reported to have previously shelved ideas that would have shown a light on chinese abuses for fear of the railing the discussions china says the surveillance and she jang is part of a fight against muslim extremism now beijing has to watch on the list of chinese firms banned from trading with the u.s. gets longer still. and joining me from war here in the studio now is to use china expert clifford couldn't clip it this is not the 1st blacklist issued by the united states what's different this time well i think the intention behind this seems to be more political certainly they've expressed it as a political move but we've already seen weiwei as you mentioned i think this is looking at some very key areas in china par

u.s. troops leaving syria. the country says american troops cannot stay there. the defense secretary said the u.s. forces pulling out of northern syria would go to iraq to help in the fight against the islamic state. president trump ordered the bulk of u.s. troops in syria to withdraw after turkey began its military offensive there. greece is promising to toughen the asylum procedure for migrants and speed up deportations. the legislation submitted to parliament also calls for an expanded use of detention. a surge in the arrival of migrants has put severe strain on the greek islands and near the turkish coast. more than 25,000 asylum-seekers and migrants remain, mostly in overcrowded camps. former president jimmy carter had another fall in his home, fracturing his pelvis and going to the hospital for treatment and observation. a spokesperson for the carter center described the fracture as minor, saying the 95-year-old carter was in good spirits at a medical center in atlanta after falling

and meanwhile bubble of the u.s. dollar is at a high for the past 2 years against both against both the euro and the dollar index basket the ice dollar and it sounds good but of course in international trade a higher value currency hurts your exports is this trend in the dollar trending higher going to start affecting corporate earnings and will we start seeing that negative effect in the earnings reports coming up for this next quarter. well i was i think the dollar is going significantly higher amount i'm looking for at least par when it goes up to i mean we've been looking forwards and that was in the eighty's but i think it shouldn't hurt profits but of course these are built in excuse is that the current corporate corporations will have when it comes to earnings because certainly they know enough to be able to hedge the dollar if you want to protect against dollar exposure you can certainly hedge it in the open free markets so i think this is a more mixed use when they do start using it it's the same as you know

s u.s. voters particularly that turkey is an important trading partner that there is an important value to the nato relationship that the 2 share and that there is a partnership when it comes to the collaboration of the building of the f. $35.00 fighter jet that the u.s. of course is very fond of now in the midst of all of this the u.s. president is also saying that he will not in any way abandon the kurdish fighters that the u.s. has been fighting alongside to defeat eisel in recent years but i can still tell you that the shift in syria strategy out of the u.s. president that was announced late on sunday evening is not sitting well with even members of his own republican party one of the latest senator marco rubio who has called the president's stance morally repugnant and a stain on the nation's reputation even as the president touts the benefits of the relationship with turkey in the united states there is considerable concern about turkey's actions into northern into the northeast region

having said that in the u.s. right now trump has been very aggressive about his willingness to call call out different organizations etc so i think the u.s. economy at least right now is a bit used to it. wildfires are still burning in brazil's amazon forest prompting a warning from some scientists that escalating deforestation could eventually turn the rain forest into a dry savannah despite present. caving into pressure and placing a 60 day ban on fires for clearing farmland wildfires are only just slightly down from the highest number in a decade the sinew and reports from the state of matter gross or. 60 year old agronomist. walks through the charred remains of his land for the 1st time since fire destroyed it all those this is the sum these were my seedling beads 4 years of work here you would grab the dirt and it smelled differently it had life now it's an. but governor will apply to sustainable system without artificial fertilisers only native species to make the land more productive. but all his work to g

what's the impact on u.s. businesses from that trade will well certainly what we've all seen is that there's concerns across the globe. all a commie on the trade war happening right now it's not just the u.s. that's impacted it's countries across the globe companies across the globe are all interwoven today and certainly you know there's recognition that the ongoing trade war right now is not necessarily good for any of the global economies whether or not those are the u.s. economy chinese economy or other colonies across the globe and when it comes to president trump himself as well we have a president who isn't afraid of calling out company c.e.o.'s or companies or the fed chairman. and he's now possibly facing impeachment how does that affect business this. uncertainty causes concern across global markets and for business leaders across the globe you have to ask yourself what the potential impacts are to you and to your company and what we see from an attack standpoint. from a cyber security standpoint is a

u.s. military aid in a phone call with president trump, president trump responded by saying, "i would like you to do us a favor, though." that's when he asked that foreign leader for help with a number of items on his personal wish list, including some sort of law enforcement or legal proceeding against his potential 2020 democratic opponent, joe biden. now tonight we've got news that the secretary of state was listening in on that call while that ask from the president happened. and that is remarkable. i mean, pompeo's own department, the state department, had signed off on that military aid going to ukraine. he knows that, right? and then he hears with his own ears the president essentially making that aid contingent on him getting this favor about what ukraine can do to dirty up joe biden for the next electn. the secretary of state knows that and says nothing about it? again, of course, unless he's the whistle-blower. i mean, he is ex-cia. i don't think he's the whistle-blower. but now

the u.s. still going after achieving their main goal in the fight against i six the death of al baghdadi and they see parts of their operation collapse around them they managed to achieve this absolutely seminole task. a key moment for president donald trump who has long shall we say have a patchy relationship with the intelligence community because of allegations of interference of russia in the 2016 flex? here he owes probably one of the most substantial victories of his achievement to the first term to that community. >> very interesting contrast. nick paton walsh, thank you for your insights. ryan brown we would like to bring him in. we are told the raid was carried out by special operation commandos is. what else have we learned about this? >> we are told this special operations raid was -- came about, in part, because of the central intelligence agency, the cia through a very complex collection effort was able to identify a target that they believed was al baghdadi leading to the u.s. mi

the u.s. military doesn't really have a presence. we are told the cia was the one who provided the critical intelligence where al baghdadi was located leading the u.s. military with the confidence of this high-risk raid. they have a military presence in eastern syria but doesn't usually operate in the northwest, say, a few drone strikes the last few months. so, again, a lot of other actors in that area. there are russian forces and regime forces and various rebel groups close to the regime, some have strong extremist ties so they have to have 45high confidence in the intelligence to launch this raid. the u.s. military led the raid from the kurdish democratic forces, the u.s. allies in the area. turkey was notified of the operation for the purposes of deconfliction because it took place close to the turkey board. they sent in a u.s. special operations team deep into unknown hostile territory, so they had to have very high confidence. we are being told during the operation, the target al baghdad

core issue for the u.s. the u.s.l not stand in the way of turkish operations in northern syria according to the white house. this comes after president erdogan signaled imminent operations against kurdish militants. turkey is prepared to use military force to prevent that. in the u.s., a second whistleblower may be ready to emerge in president trump's impeachment saga. the law first -- the law firm representing the first is now representing both whistleblowers. the second whistleblower has not yet spoken to the committee seeking the impeachment inquiry. this comes as the president insists he did nothing wrong. and nuclear talks in sweden broke down after the top .egotiator from showin and in portugal, the socialist prime minister won this weekend's election with his party gaining more seats in parliament. but reports show he will fall short of an absolute victory. global news 24 hours a day on air and on tictoc on twitter powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg

in the u.s. pentagon wants turkey to stop to be clear we are not abandoning our current partner forces and u.s. troops remain with them in other parts of syria the impulse of action a president or want to invade northern syria has put the united states in a tough situation given our relationship with our nato ally turkey who has fought alongside the united states in the past and president trump is threatening sanctions. if turkey does something that they shouldn't be doing we will put on sanctions the likes of which very few countries have ever seen before now the u.s. is backpedaling that troops are still on patrol a few kilometers from the conflict zone as and they have vacuity just days ago they've also come under fire from turkish artillery although with no reported injuries. this is c.c.t.v. footage of a large camp holding tens of thousands of family members of islamic state militants and it shows an apparent escape attempt the camp is controlled by kurdish forces and they say the situation
