because u.s. is also to supporter of gavi and continuing to that angle to support the initiatives. >> elizabeth, i think marie-ange is t very accurate in that congress now is very committed to gavi. congress understands this global relationship. they are committed to making sure that gavi is funded and the u.s. funds continue, so regardless of what the administration has intended i think congress is sort of a protector. cepi is a new entity that was focused on research and development, but i think that the threat the u.s. was not only not participate in cepi, but withdraw funding from the w.h.o. is really dangerous in terms of world's capacity. our resources are needed, and i would say our leadership is needed to mobilize an effort of developed countries to t look at outside of the borders and say we not only need to vaccinate our own populations, but we need a global view because if somebody is ill in africa or asia, that still is a threat potentially to the united states and it's also the right

but the u.s.otes mark, was abysmal, around 10% to 15% in some of the main european countries, considering only 10% or 15% of people considered that the u.s. was doing a good job dealing with covid. so really, what this ultimate crisis would do was just reinforce this image and at the same time, the europeans own sense of isolation. who else than the u.s. can be their ally in dealing with this pandemic? and at the moment, the giant, the american giant is missing , and its leadership is missing . now more than ever, you know, the presidential leadership is missing as well. so, i was just thinking, listening to bill and to fiona, that the only thing really missing from this confluence of crisis is an international crisis, and hopefully, you know, the u.s. won't face that, but that would be a very weak moment, very hard moment for the u.s. at a time when power is concentrated around the president, and the president is or could be incapacitated. at least it's a worrying thought also for europeans. thom

both in the u.s. and europe, fiscal policies provided support for households amid sharp declines in employment and hours worked. this was achieved through a mix of unemployment insurance and job retention programs, but with varying weights. the united states relied more heavily on direct payments to households, including stimulus checks and unemployment insurance, while also promoting job retention through the paycheck protection program. european policy makers subsidizing company payrolls to retain workers through a short variety of programs used during the global financial crisis so we're ready to be relaunched. ultimately both u.s. and european fiscal policies have produced similar results. first, finding and maintaining base level household consumption through the worst of the pandemic and subsequently unleashing pent up consumer demand. retails were above pre-pandemic lefts at u.s. averages. with short-term interest rates constrained from below asset purchase programs and lending facilities remai

postal votes in the u.s.ction will be accepted three days after the election in one state following a court ruling. the supreme court turned down an appeal by the republicans that would have limited the counting in pennsylvania. votes postmarked election day were before will be accepted and what could be a key swing state. our white house correspondent says the issue of mail-in ballots has become important during the campaign. >> why this is such a divisive issue along partisan battle lines has to do a lot with mail-in voting. typically democrats seem more supportive of that. they have confidence in the system. donald trump has said it is rigged with fraud and as a result most conservatives choose to stand in line to cast their ballot on voting day. the issue became, the republicans wanted to cut off when the mail-in ballots in pennsylvania could be accepted on november 3. democrats made the argument if they are postmarked by the third, they should be counted, even if they are three days late. this is where t

the u.s. election. it's true that south korea's chipmakers have been benefiting since september as a consequence of the restrictions that have come up on a number of tech companies in china, but whether this is a sustainable in the long run really depends on the trade dynamics between the u.s. and china. the conditions for risk remain highly -- in the near term. this is what will shape really the strength of the recovery in tech exports for south korea. remains uncertain at this moment. paul: i went to get your thoughts as well. good news we have had out of australia. we now have a second day in a row in the state of victoria with no new coronavirus cases. restrictions are being eased. it looks as if the outbreak is under control. with that in mind, what is your outlook for the australian domestic recovery? the latest development marks a turning point for the australian economy, especially as in victoria, retail, hospitality, it resumes operations after months of suspended activities. most of

forcing u.s.business isn't a joint venture which they didn't want those sort of things have been going on on a grand scale and it's not just american technology that china stole and syrup in and other countries as well and that i think it's been right of trying to highlight that as one of the few things he's got right an economic policy that it has to stop so it's not simply just the loss of manufacturing jobs is that it's other things that china has done as well have all sort of generated this this anti china sentiment in the u.s. i didn't mean that you are blaming china but trump is obviously do you think there are $350000000000.00 democrat plan will do anything to counter china's lead in 5 g. an artificial intelligence 'd saw even drug supply chains well up the margin maybe i mean of course in a pre-election platforms from presidential candidates aren't necessarily what becomes an acted after the election because we have to get through the whole political legislative process and it's all very w

violating u.s. sanctions when she's not a u.s.citizen not living in the united states company where she c.f.o. weiwei is not based in the united states so the question really becomes a brand i think one of why would a private company in another country where the official is visiting another foreign country be under any legal obligation to follow u.s. sections against iran is is is united states sanctions against iran a global thing where everyone around the world must follow this or go to prison i think that's one of the big biggest questions here and then the fact that canadian authorities were really acting at the behest and the orders taking orders from u.s. authorities makes this even more problematic because again it violates canadian due process for the purpose of canadian rule of law overall the united states' involvement in this seems to be one of the biggest points here we'll continue following the story boom bust co-host ben swan thank you for that you got it. and finally with the release of borrett subsequent movie film

also, guns u.s. infrastructure is less important than getting what is needed built and getting value from the dollars that the united states spends. we should allow for competitive bidding for construction, installation and maintenance of long security sensitive parts of u.s. infrastructure and we should insist that foreign governments allow the same opportunities for u.s. firms. so those are my three priorities. i want to pick up on what jason was saying about how to figure out the budget. including reducing federal budget deficits relative to those projected under current law. i agree with jason that given these historically low interest rates, the accumulation of federal debt is not one of the countries they get economic challenges right now. trying to pay for fiscal mealtime the counterproductive, we all agree on that. going beyond that, i think it is sufficient that any increase is discretionary or ongoing federal spending related to these priorities is accompanied by an increase in federal reve
