the u.s. were not the invaders. the invaders were al qaeda. the u.s. was supporting the indigenous resistance and it was a different kind of paradigm. the u.s. mission expanded and we have been so successful, let's change another regime in iraq. this is pretty simple. troops were called in and we decided to shoot for the moon to build centralized democracy. we did not allow the afghans to do any kind of deal with the remnants of the taliban. it is sad. you see a great deal of success at the end of 2001, marred by the success of the former marine corps officer who was a member of the team alpha. it changed immediately and you will see the seeds of catastrophe that we have been seeing in recent days starting to be sewn at the end of 2001. host: you made the assertion that the pentagon was not prepared for the days after. were they ok with the cia taking the lead? guest: donald rumsfeld was not ok. he was very unhappy that a much smaller organization was taking the lead. he did not like the agency taking the issue anymore he believed that was why the pent

the u.s.go into the winter. what is your assessment of that? >> i think that covid, as we all know, continues to be a challenge to the global economy. we are seeing it have an impact on gdp growth. the opening of the economy is stuttering at various stages across the globe. it is important that there is a coherent message not only in the u.s., but europe and asia. the reopening is really dependent on improvement in the underlying infections. mark: when you think about the covid impact on equity markets, do you think it is more important on the top-down gdp growth, or the earnings story? the rally has been about the earnings growth story. will that disappear as covid is worse than expected? are you differentiating between regions based on their covid success rates? >> we are at a very difficult point in navigating the global equity market. initially we had growth in momentum and that was replaced by value and cyclicality. the reopening began in early 2001. technology lead rallies in the market.

border reflects with the u.s. -- what the u.s. as a whole, and maybe that needs to be changed so the people feel more comfortable? sec. mayorkas: the racial compass it -- composition of the u.s. border patrol? >> yes. sec. mayorkas: one will see in the border patrol a diverse workforce. many border patrol agents speak spanish. spanish is their native tongue. but that does not mean we should not increase the diversity of our workforce, not just within border patrol but across dhs. that is an obligation we have. the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion are guiding principles. they are not just words. we have an obligation to do it. in every regard, not just racial diversity, gender diversity. i spoke with the women in law enforcement organization and they have a goal of 30 by 30. 30% of women in law enforcement by 2030. i said we will do it by 23. >> there are some reports earlier this week some isis members might have come in with afghan refugees brought here to the u.s. did that happen? what are you doing to ensure that

do you believe that the u.s.d resist more european style protections practices of hate speech and why? >> i believe we should resist that and i believe the supreme court would agree with that proposition. the reason why is simply that i don't trust our government with the power to decide what ideas to suppress. again, looking back at our own experience, that has been abused repeatedly, in being able to find what is hate speech? it's hate speech criticizing african americans, latinos, asian americans, polls, jews, gays, straits, married people, unmarried people? it goes on and on. i think that in the end we are better off allowing free speech to be spoken and responding to it. and looking for education untruth. i think one of the things we see in our own countries about allowing speech that in many cases, we have changed our minds. we've changed our minds about women's rights, gay rights, civil rights. if the minority could press that speaks speech because they thought it was a moral, about gay rights or women's r

try to get the world to turn on the u.s. so that the u.s. ends up with no friends in the world, at least no one willing to support its military enterprise in vietnam. with respect to the u.s., it's about isolating the americans, militarily and diplomatically. with respect to the regime in saigon and its armed forces, the strategy there is to crush that army. that's the army that communist forces really want to defeat. they know they are no match for the americans. but they do stand a chance against the army of the rival regime in saigon. that's really their main target. the bulk of their military operations will be directed at other vietnamese units, fighting for the regime in saigon. as they try to crush those units they similarly, international, diplomatically do what they can to discredit the regime in saigon. they keep calling them a puppet of the american, with no legitimacy whatsoever. it partially works. this is key to everything. they do their best to take advantage of the soviet dispute. remember i told you, right, if you want to ma

u.s.other twist in the debate over booster shots. an fda advisory committee recommends pfizer booster shots, but only for those over 65. you must undiplomatic row. france recalls i ambassador to the u.s., protesting the american deal providing australia with nuclear powered submarines. plus,he debt the collapse of the overpass in mexico city last may was partly caused by missing bolts, and investigation finds. the families of those killed say warning signs were missed. welcome to "world news america" on pbs and around the globe. the u.s. military says it mistakenly killed 10 afghan civilians in a drone strike in kabul last month, describing this as a horrible mistake seven of the dead were children. this is a major reversal of the pentagon's position. u.s. officials had said the strike was justified and righteous to because it stopped militants from using a car bomb to attack the airport. here good general mckenzie speaking this afternoon. >> this strike was done with the fullest believe i

the u.s.nd the back of that reflation push and the slightly more hawkish tone we got from jay powell yesterday signaled that the fomc are comfortable with the economic recovery in the u.s.. we saw the biggest one-day take up in u.s. 10-year yields since march. morgan stanley said 1.43% is a key level for u.s. 10-year yields. we are at that level now. more upside than is likely. let's switch the terminal to look at what is happening in china. it is a very different picture as a result of the travails around ever grand and the concerns about growth in the world's second-largest economy. you have seen the pboc stepping into liquidity for a third straight day. you seen that injections of about 40 billion u.s. dollars in that timeframe. this chart shows what has been going on. very gradual, you get a few pickups around some seasonal demand for liquidity in china, and then it is very strong liquidity injection over the last three days in the people's bank of china. many say you will need to see a tr

the u.s.an be trusted. let's go to cyril vania, how badly is biden's relationship with europe and how can he put this right? >> reporter: here is a measure of that. the last few days the french have been saying theiden foreign policy is similar to the trump policy minus the tweets. listen to the french foreign minister just yesterday. >> the unilateralism and the lack of consultations between allies that we have seen displayed taken by austria and the united states is a persist tent reflectxes of an era that hope is over. >> reporter: the white house will not hesitate to ride rush over strategic interest over allies. more widely france is making the case of european ally that the u.s. can do the same to them. the european union needs to backup its soft power, economic power and values with hard power. that's to say develop a joint defense force, further integration and military. we are a long way away from that. france has been telling its allies there is a pattern here. you need to wake up an

all of our european allies and u.s. transportation command, u.s. northern command, u.s. central command. their support to u.s. european central commands has been remarkable. today, we are excited about the fact that as all those agencies work together to facilitate the flow of travelers and afghans from europe i will stop right there i look forward to taking your questions. mr. kirby: we will start with lita from ap. reporter: thank you general. i the question about the streaming of evacuees coming in. i notice they're doing a lot. can you paint us a better picture of what is happening to people who might be failing to screening or problems in the screening? are the allies exposing concern about what happens to those people? and can you tell us if there has been any covid problems? thank you. gen. wolters: i will reverse order. we are surprised at the few covid situations we have had abroad in europe. our policy is to allow the field commanders in place to govern the administration of covid testing and covid vaccination based on conditions on the ground. as you know, the

as the u.s.nvested in china and china sold us more things, we had a positive some relation ship their relationship has been deteriorating -- positive sum relationship. that relationship has been deteriorating over the past 12 years. over the past five years, it has gotten specifically problematic, where, for example, certain chinese companies like while way have been accused of violating u.s. sanctions, and we have seen huawei executives arrested for that. as a result, china has arrested people. there is this level of acrimony building where china thinks the u.s. is trying to strain -- to constrain it, despite robust trade, and the u.s. feels that china is trying to undermine the u.s.'s position and an international system where countries can meet as peers. we have seen a ratcheting up of rhetoric from both sides. host: bruce is in maryland on our independent line. bruce, good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. i hate to go back to the u.s.-australia submarine thing, because i know th
