things of our time but this huge flow of people isn't only aimed at europe but the united states many from central asia and to russia instead so what faces them on iran. moscow russia's capital a growing metropolis with an expanding population. since the collapse of the soviet union in 1991 the russian federation has become one of the most important immigrant destinations in the world 2nd only to the united states and on a par with germany. unlike europe however the majority of people going to russia political refugees and asylum seekers fleeing conflict in syria iraq and central africa. economic migrants looking for work. most of the migrants from former soviet territories with central asia are at the forefront of this massive human flood tens of thousands leave the republics of kyrgyzstan and tajikistan every year to find sees no employment in russia's main cities. life far from home is not easy the most try to remain optimistic and positive migrant workers in russia face a cumbersome and often corrupt state bureaucracy that makes it a daunting task to regularize their presence in the country. police

the judgments in asia about the united states will have a huge impact on how this plays out. nd the interesting thing, if you look at asia and the united states is their consistent belief over decades that we are in the con after vietnam, after the cold war, after the economic crisis each time we have managed to re-create ourselves and charge forward. in many cases surprising our closest friends and allies. who is a deep believer for a period of time in american lives so we will have to do that again to make clear that we have staying power that we are innovative and that we are dynamic and that we welcome competition and engagement and even the dirty word, trade in asia that will keep us in the playing sphere for the next 50 years. >> i made this point when i give speeches in china, i'm sure you do to his been through worse and don't count us out yet but there is the sense that we are declining. we have very little time but where david shambaugh left off, you wrote that the us strategy in asia is often more public and confrontational and china's these days is more sophisticat

because the united states relation with pakistan has fallen apart particularly in the years since 911 and of course if you all remember underneath president obama we have the pivot to asia really united states military where china was now and so china and india have a very contentious relationship india and i mean china and pakistan all are allies in many ways so the united states looks to india to counter china and at this point india is the 2nd largest importer of weapons in the world after saudi arabia and right now there are biggest supplier of weapons are the russians and so the united states would love to you know divorce india from its relationship with russia get more of that weapons market and then use india kind a as a wedge against both pakistan and china so that a lot here with this $3000000000.00 sale besides the fact that this is what travers and president trump likes to do he likes to make deals for the defense industry. pretty incredible man when you break it all. you did a heck of a good job just kind of southern europe the entire back story behind this or was there a lot of that was quite incredible sir very good. thank you very very much for coming ou

of people much more inclined to thinking about asia and china that recognize for the country to survive they need a strong relationship in the united states and others. what i try to write in my paper is what is happening in asia right now is one of the most interesting periods of strategic orientations of the middle powers in asia, australia, india, japan are implementing an incredibly diverse strategy which is not as well understood by us so they are not saying we are with you what the other side. they are doing several things simultaneously. any in the united states right now that understands there's enormous risks you might be slated for trade violations, you might find yourself on the crosshairs trying to develop relationships to the united states secretly hopeful that we will go back to something that is more recognizable but also be leaving that fundamentally the system has ended this is not just a phenomenon. second, they try to work with like-minded states, since you are seeing is the kind of linkages between australia and india and japan and others. >> frankly we couldn't have imagined. every country is trying to increase their

outside of the united states either in asia or europe what is the hitto their revenu likely to be and how does that play through the system into their stock prices >> it's severe both in terms of the supply chain as well as the sales. so, again, if you look at some of the dow 50 companies have had between 14 to 17 consecutive quarters of double digit growth in china you can say good-bye to that i think for the first half of the year that's just in terms of the sales outlook. u.s. companies sale $220 billion worth of goods to mainland chinese consumers every year we also forget in this polarization between the u.s. and china we forget about the eurozone as well as you mentioned so we have 8% of revenue from the s&p 500 coming from the eurozone and with this spread from italy to austria to switzerland, a lot of the finance ministers talking about a potential epidemic outbreak within their respective eurozone economies, the knock to the european component on sales and supply chain can be severe. >> alexis, let me ask you because obviously someone in the position like yours does a ton of

united states out and then come for the government, the difference is this north vietnam was not a threat to the united states, afghanistan is epicenter for radical islamic movements in southeast asiaa threat to the united states. >> can we contain that? >> the only way i believe even if we had a peace settlement between the taliban and the government i still think you need a small force with intelligence, counterterrorism capability at their disposal to make certain al-qaeda and isis do not do harm to the american people. >> is that what the president proposed to keep a small counterintelligence group there to make sure they cannot threaten. >> i hope that's where this thing turns out the taliban will not agree to that, we'll see what kind of agreement, finally if we can get to that point, were months away from the struggle to get an agreement. >> you talked about the meeting, here he is in this discussion. >> we must stop this work, to we must find a solution to stop the war this is going to be will the taliban accept an election as a mechanism, the crucial mechani mechanism. >> when you talk to him do you think he's on the level. >> he has a public face in a private concern, pub

been talking financial markets about a fiscal push both here in europe and in the united states and potentially in asiad.c. the fiscal -- do you see the fiscal taps open more in 2020? and 2021 for be transformational with government spending. u.k., they have a strategy to increase spending by more than 60% over the next five years to address the needs for infrastructure upgrades across the region. in united states, both parties want to see a federal spending bill. the question is if it will become before or after the election. on a global basis we believe there is a significant spending gap everyone is coming to grips with. guy: to come back to you guys, the transformation you have gone through, would you classify yourself now as an esg company? it does seem it is increasingly having that label, having the higher esg score is a way to improve your share price performance. are you seeing evidence of that? : steve absolutely. -- steve: absolutely. we addressed that about four or five years ago whether focus on all elements of sustainability, climate change, diversity, the culture of the company. i think

the united states is actively creating the conditions to deploy short and medium range missiles in europe and asia that is according to russia's foreign minister in his music briefing at the munich security conference so good i did that washington is not even hiding its preparations after abandoning a key arms control treaty with moscow let's go live now to our correspondent. in munich just take us there what else did russia's foreign minister have to say. right well so gale of rove was wrapping up events following the munich security conference he spent a lot of time focusing on the future of short and medium range missiles particularly the united states's as actions accusing washington of setting a ball rolling allowing them to be able to deploy these missiles both in asia and in europe he said that the 1st. the 1st move in order to do this really was to collapse the i.n.f. treaty which washington did not so long ago he did however say that there was potential for negotiation on this and he saw it highlighted france's a manual knock on is perhaps the go to person when it comes to being able to f
