the u.s. as a historian, one misunderstanding i try to correct is that our interest is not in events processes when we talked about the fall of kabul, we are not talking to much about an event that is still laying out good yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of 9/11, which month later led to the american invasion of afghanistan. months shy of 20 years later, the u.s. withdrew from the country in a chaotic form, leading to the return of the taliban. despite the subsequent violence of the american political class and screaming disinterest of the american electorate -- seeming disinterest of the american electorate, that withdrawal marks neither the end of the war on terror or the suffering of the people in afghanistan. thousands are waiting in camps for possible settlement in the u.s. or other western countries which may never come. millions in afghanistan are taft by a repressive regime whose interest and ability to govern are limited at best. there is situation is compounded by an internatio

in an interview with u.s. broadcaster cbs, the u.s.nt voiced to defend taiwan of china invaded. >> what u.s. forces defend the island? >> yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack. >> to be clear, u.s. forces, u.s. men and women, we defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion? >> yes. >> washington has struck a delicate diplomatic balance with both beijing and taiwan since 1979, when it formally recognized beijing as a sole representative of china. recently, relations between the u.s. and china have been tested. in particular by a visit to taiwan in august by nancy pelosi, the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives. beijing has now reacted angrily to bidens comments. >> the remarks from the u.s. side seriously violate the one china principle and they seriously violate the important commitment not to support taiwan independence. and that they send the wrong signal to separatist forces of taiwanese independence. china says it reserves the right to take all necessary measures in response to activities that split the nat

the u.s. and china are on a collision course, what is the root of it? >> it is a complicated question and i think the answer has to do with china's power trajectory on the one hand and its ambitions on the other. we have seen over the last 25 years china has articulated more and more grandiose aims as to what he wants to accomplish in the world, everything -- taiwan which is a long-standing objective of the ccp. to establishing itself as the primary power in asia perhaps around the globe. that is something that often happens as countries rise in power, their ambitions grow as well. that is not surprising. i think what is important to note is that china's trajectory has changed over the past 15 years. china is no longer rising as effortlessly as it was this was -- as it once was particularly in the economic realm. it is generating more and more resistance from countries that are asked -- opposed. china is because the fight as the peaking power, continuing to develop more formidable coercive cap

despite the fact the u.s. administration, their priority of getting, the u.s.ervice members out of the harm's way is a good approach that was positive i think in my perspective. but that process could have been managed. in my assessment i think the u.s. public, those who've been involved in whose sons and daughters have served in afghanistan and who have had their family members in afghanistan and were invested, members of media think tank. george washington university and a number of others have been involved. i would like to say we are grateful for this attention despite the fact on the policy level those like ukraine and taiwan and others the people are engaged and trying to make sure that the u.s. public have invested and diplomats have invested that 20 years of investment do not go to waste and we do not see a repeat of what we saw in 9/11 and i would encourage everyone to stay involved and keep engaging on that. the act is a very critical and important if there are 80,000 rightta now it's the least and given the credentials. at the same time it's importan

as u.s. attorney general, in february 2019, six months after cohen's guilty plea, he not only tried to kill the ongoing investigations we were engaged in, but incredibly, he suggested that cohen's conviction on campaign finance charges should be reversed. barr summoned my deputy who was overseeing the cohen case, in late february to challenge the basis of cohen's plea as well as the reasoning behind pursuing similar campaign finance charges against other individuals. he was told to cease all investigative work on the campaign finance allegations until main justice determined there was a legal basis for the campaign finance charges to which cohen pled guilty and until barr determined there was a sufficient federal interest in pursuing charges against others. the directive bill barr gave my deputy, which was amplified that same day by a follow-up call from edward o'callaghan, that was explicit. not a single investigative step could be taken, not a single document in our possession could be revi

u.s. leadership international stage has proven critical capitalizing our partners consequences. i have yet to see us take the same effective approach on africa. it's hard to comprehend how the youngest fastest growing continent in the world, a region that contains 50% and vast array of minerals and other natural resources failed to garner a clear comprehensive engagement strategy. it is clear that africa status nation and people is not the basket case many narratives portrayed to be. the continent does face challenges that must be met with strong unified international support. priorities developed across the country with support of our partners around the world include combating climate change, diversifying energy resources, stimulating economic growth and improving public health outcome. in the face of democratic backsliding, we have a collective responsibility from good governance and protect human rights. i've heard this from our african counterparts time and time again. they want to pa

haidi: the u.s. trading day, we have the latest central-bank action and the markets continue to percolate through all of that. our global macro strategist and policy editor are here with us. when it comes to the overnight session, is there a sense -- or is the market still yearning to see the upside? quarks the fed still wants to see the upside. there's a new phrase going around the street it's called hawkish this. traders believe that we have reached the pinnacle of the fed's hawkish event and while jay powell will continue to push the hawkish mantra, the data will continue to suggest that they have reached the pinnacle and it's time to turn if not pause in the coming months. demand commodities housing, everything look at is starting to come down. i would also argue that the 2% number is something that he just invented and 3.5% inflation is not a terrible thing. haidi: we have a few of the other 20 central banks making their decisions this week. >> what was interesting today was the bank of england.

the u.s. grants to the un are used in a way that ultimately benefit the american taxpayer. this was certainly not the case when the world health organization echoed the statements given to them by the chinese communist party at the start of the pandemic. ranking member mccall's covid-19 origins report, it was noted that from the beginning stages of the covid-19 outbreak, the two, under the leadership of director general -- repeatedly upheld ccp statements as truths and examination of public statements include praise of the cdc's handling of the pandemic, reveals a disturbing willingness to ignore signs and really and other credible sources. while we do not know everything that happened that happened at the w.h.o. under the threat of the covid-19 first appeared, we do know that the director general actively engaged in an effort to defend the ccp's leadership from criticism. this bowing to the ccp influence negatively impacted the world's understanding of covid-19 and hampered the global respons

theresa: if the u.s. roll over? -- imran: is the u.s. role done? dmitry: as a young journalist, a lot of people in the former soviet union, we were not against the united states as a benign police man because the image of the americans and the british was very positive. what we do not view positively is the new ideology which is entrenched in the united states and a european union over the last few dozens of years which led to bad politics. central asian countries are seeing with terror what is going on in ukraine. we have to look at this situation in perspective. the countries in central asia may not be happy with russia's actions in ukraine, but they respect their political systems by not trying to lecture them on how they should build their democracies. in the west right now, they keep talking about autocracies versus democracies. read any textbook and you will find out there is something worse than autocracy and that if totalitarianism. that is exactly what we have now in the united states and in big european union about the situation in ukrain

the u.s. senate has ratified an amendment to an international treaty that seeks to phase out the use of hydro-fluorocarbons, or hfc's, chemicals commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioners that contribute to the climate emergency. hfc's emerged as a popular substitute to fluorocarbons, which are largely banned under the montreal protocol, a 1987 treaty to end the use of chemicals that deplete the earth's protective ozone layer. but hfc's are extremely potent greenhouse gases, trapping heat in the atmosphere about a thousand times more effectively than carbon dioxide. on thursday, 69 senators voted to amend the montreal protocol to phase out the use of hfc's. senate democratic majority leader chuck schumer celebrated the move. >> experts say phasing out our use of hfc's will help prevent up to half a degree celsius of warming by the end of the century. ratifying the amendment, along with passing the inflation reduction act, is the strongest 1-2 punch against climate change in it congres
