armed services committee, chairman thornberry has recently said in the indo-pacific where the united states faces a near-term belligerent threat armed with nuclear weapons and also a longer strategic competitor, he's described that as being a threat to the united states in the indo-pacific region where we face a near-term belligerent threat armed with nuclear weapons -- that would be north korea -- along with a long-term strategic competitor. that would be china that chairman thornberry is referring to. that's why this year's defense authorization bill, among other goals prioritizes readiness in the region and strengthens our key partnerships. it promotes stability and security in the indo-pacific region through exercises with our allies and it maintains our policy of maximum pressure on north korea as we seek to negotiate the denuclearization of the north korean peninsula. but another main provision in this legislation that has to do with the indo-pacific region in particular that i've cosponsored along with senator feinstein, the senior senator from california, is known as the foreign investmen

there is a deeper problem at play in the united states which spain does not face. which is a vulcanized bureaucracy. when you have over a dozen institutions in this country, with overlapping goals and agendas, duplicate staff all trying to deal with financial regulations, it does not help you. it helps the sort of criminal side of things. there needs to be in the long-term, regulatory consolidation for matters to do with organized crime and financial regulation. it may not be possible at the moment but it needs to be done. because in an environment, a complex institutional environment that needs to be issued policy doctrines coming from the white house and if the white house is unable or unwilling to do so, to issue policy doctrines about how to combat this then congress needs to set up a commission that can outline its own strategy. looking further afield, united states needs to develop approaches where it can highlight the core national security danger of organized crime and russian organized crime and implement the strategies into nato, into collaboration with t

almost incredible is the silence of the united states in the face of these warring don't form. if you again government we're also right here what do you what do you make of what i was saying because of course you know that in the backdrop to those tweets is that the eritrean government has not responded to this announcement. yeah. i understand that people. might expect that their to govern would have an immediate response to the us and maybe rejoice about this news but this is not the first time that an error and if you've been prime minister or the parliament has declared in some form that they will abide by the e.c. . commission's decision prime minister melissa now he said in fact in november two thousand and four that. greece with the algiers peace agreement and the decision in principle then he continued to outline five points of discussion to open up the negotiations i believe also the previous prime minister had a matter of understanding has made mention that it is important to have peace with eritrea and for this border conflict to be resolved but this has been going on

certainly needed to solve some of the biggest and most pressing foreign policy issues that the united states is facing today just briefly before we go bad for germany here but this could get worse in fact because coupled with this announcement we also had donald trump saying that there is no separate trade investigation into automotive imports tell us more about that. yes indeed the steel tariffs on that's serious for the european and the german economy but if trump doesn't retaliate again by imposing tariffs on column makers that would really hit especially the german economy very seriously because the exports of cause to the united states run into the hundreds of thousands per year it's a matter of billions of dollars involved so if it gets to that stage then things will become really tough really serious and that's something that germany is trying to avoid at all costs almost certainly going to be continuing pressure to continue negotiations to continue talking and that's in fact what german politicians apart from their anger have been saying again and again in the last twenty four hours all of the

for us both states have good relations with the united states i suppose it's about finding a way for saudi arabia the u.a.e. to climb down without losing face. i think it's a way to to at least to show that the united states have some interest in making this situation to to ease and to be resolved but without engaging directly in. pressuring or threatening with any kind of sanctions if it's additional salt so here we are the first anniversary of this located in the last year certainly seems to have won the battle for hearts and minds in the course of public opinion. the blockading nations and spent an absolute fortune on on on p.r. and yet it's kind of that seems to come out on top why is that and i think that both. sides they know that they need to convince the rest of the bubble asian or of the world i mean the public opinion because nobody really knows what is going on here nobody knows the recent of why this started nobody knows if i mean as far as there is no open conflict this edition will remind and know this for a long time so both need to convince. the public opinion in the world they need to convince. policymakers and governments
