u.s. institute of peace. he joins us on skype from washington, d.c.. thank you for being on al jazeera. i want to talk about who could have carried out this attack. a commander from the taliban in pakistan said it was responsible but the group has issued a statement denying involvement. who do you think carried out the attack at this stage? >> thank you, tom. i am certain parts of the taliban pakistan were behind the attack. you mentioned commanders, important leaders of the ttp claimed the attack initially and later we got a denial from the central leadership that it was not behind the attack. that suggests three possibilities. one is that this targeting was a case of decentralized targeting. a particular faction which initially claimed the attack broke from the guidance of the central leadership. another possibility is that even though the stated troll -- the central leadership signed off, there is backlash from pakistan as well as from the taliban in afghanistan. a third possibility is that this is all a drama, a charade, the central leadership using this rogue faction to conduct a m

u.s. investors to get more constructive? >> on the institutionale, it might be strategic asset allocations. if there is some bumps in the fixed income or credit markets, there will be next year. we've had a goldilocks scenario and there will be certain companies that have a difficult time with the higher cost of capital and the same thing on the equity side. in the fixed income markets, i think there has been a lot of on buying lately and it's been an interesting month. i don't think the whole story has played out on the fed. that looks like we will get three increases and a pause but we cannot be certain. we still not have's the seat -- we haven't seen the trust and the equity market to be sure that inflation has cool. guy: let's talk about that from a tech perspective. tech got beaten up earlier on. one of the factors was what we saw on rates being raised higher. since the beginning of this year, it has been on fire. tech stocks are surging. can you walk me through your thinking around that and whether that something people should involved with?

u.s. institute of peace. ambassador, so good to see you. >> good to see you. >> we just saw that the u.s. is preparing to label the wagner group an international criminal organization. what kind of impact could that have? >> well, as your reporters have been saying, the wagner group is able to buy equipment, buy arms around the world. this designation will curtail that. this will mean that no one can deal with them without being caught in cross wise with the u.s. sanctions. so that will cut off the supplies to this organization. but a broader thing about wagner is that it shows the problems that the russians have. wagner is kind of a rival for the russian military. and other organizations within the russian military forces. so this is an indication that they have got problems within their own ranks. >> and what might those problems be? what are the deficiencies that russia is experiencing that it would need to lean on wagner? >> the deficiencies that they have are manpower and material and morale. on manpower,

u.s. institute of peace. ambassador taylor, welcome.hristmas cease-fire that vladimir putin proposed. talk us through some of the politics behind putin's announcement. >> so, it was never serious. everybody understood that it was not serious. there was no preparation. normally, when you try to do a cease-fire, there are negotiations, discussions, preparations, proposals well in advance. none of that happened. it was suggested days prior, a day prior. it is not a serious proposal. it is like if you are here in your house and thugs break into your house and kill your family and then the thugs say, we should have a cease-fire here just for a couple of days. it makes no sense. ukrainians paid no attention. they continued to fire back at the russians as they fired at them and so this was not a serious proposal. >> to your point, even though putin ordered this 36-hour cease-fire, russian artillery shells continued to fly. how might it affect future peace negotiations with russia? >> so, future peace negotiations are going to be possible when

u.s. naval institute's pro sidings magazine, samptongrady argues that, if we take the lessons from historylear that china's numerical superiority is likely to lead to the defeat of the u.s. navy in any war with china, if the us navy cannot match the numbers of chinese missiles or ships, where the question is where they can find advantages , us leaders should ask themselves to what extent they are willing to bet on technological superiority in this confrontation without having , while the numerical advantage was written. i am not saying that it is smaller in number, but a more technologically advanced fleet. never be able to defeat a much larger fleet. i am only stating that, with the possible exception of three the last 1,200 years, none have been able to. but i don’t know, agree with me that, in general, the united states by its actions, by its lack of understanding of the russian position, by its unwillingness to accept the russian position, by its unwillingness to understand how the world works, which is not very disposed to accept someone else’s hegemony, that the united states simulta

the immigration experience, but they're also facing the same impacts of institutional racism and institutionadiscrimination that u.sitizens are subject to as well. a fair immigration system lies at the midpoint between enforcement and legal pathways. and so the more legal pathways you create, the more likel migrants will be subject to follow those legal pathways. migration has been a permanent feature of human life from long before now and will be a permanent feature ng after. as we see more and more climate disasters, war, and political disasters, we're going to see more migrants. it's not a question of if, but it's a matter of when. that's why we need to build a flexible and humane immigration processing system. first start to not treat migration as a threat, but as an opportunity. we are missing out on tapping into potential to drastically transform our country's economy, to drastically transform cities. my lived experience both going through immigration and experiencing the core tenants of -- tenets of the application process, all of that is directly influenced how i view and how i hope to shape policy in the f

u.s. economist at mastercard institute and brings us the pulse of main street michelle, what are you seeing in the data >> to us, the consumer is still out there spending, you know, when we look at the holiday shopping season, we saw holiday sales up 7.6% over the november/december period for total retail "x" auto. part of that includes strength in restaurants, certainly strength in terms of going out for leisure activities so the consumer is changing what they're spending they are responding to the economic environment, but the reality is, is that the consumer still has the ability to spend, even though they're changing what they're buying, when they're buying, more promotion-based, but -- that to me is consistent with the message from today's jobs report the economy is still adding jobs at more than double the pace that they would need to break even, to keep that unemployment rate constant. wages are still rising, even if it's at a slower pace. so there's still income creation there's still labor market that's expanding and consumers are still spending in that environment. >> you know, an

u.s. will be rather moot because i believe looking at the data here japan institutional investors are divestf u.s. treasuries. i think the risk here is definitely on edb's and we could see a fairly decent selloff there. i think this is what is in my view holding markets hostage a little bit in the global sense right now, especially bond markets. they seem to be rather what do we do? this is a real reason here. we have to be careful of not under interpreting what may not happen. we have to hedge on the risk side of things of what eventually is going to happen with the longer-term markets and they become more efficient air that is basically through the yen. we have a sizable amount of dollars sitting offshore from japanese institutional investors. that money is going to reshore. whether a reshore's this week or next month, it is going to reshore once these jgb yields eventually rise. i think this is the direction of travel that we will see for the markets, stronger yen. dani: only a little bit of time left but i want to ask you about one thing before i let you go. that is the overall more bull
