in january 1966, the united states strongly urged the united states presence in vietnam. u.s. ambassador arthur goldberg urged the security council to consider calling a conference on the basis of the geneva accords. but there was no more success in the interest to bring about peace negotiations. the problem was that hanoi feels the u.n. would dilute the power of all the 1954 geneva agreement and any u.n. presence was rejected because it contains nationalist china. at honolulu hawaii in february 1966, president johnson met the government leaders of south vietnam to go over common purposes. echoing the spirit of his speech in which he had proposed a billion dollar development program that would benefit all of southeast asia, he urged economic and political terms. he called for a battle against social injustice against hunger, disease and ignorance, against indifference in the countryside and for renewed efforts to build democracy in the rural areas. as part of the most extensive tour of east asia and the pacific, president jobs and six allied chiefs of state met in manila in oct

if alternately about russia in the united states, or is it about the united states in china and russia serving simply as a trial you for a more difficult conversation? well, i think it's more complex. so whereas, if you dig some specific areas of the current global military balance or actually steal fire and it will be the case for a long time. on the other hand, i believe that the united states is primarily concerned about growing military capacities of the people's republic. of china, after all, they more or less know how to deal with russia. we have a common strategic culture with the united states, which makes it liberty easier to talk and to goody china. these particular juncture is motivated to subscribe to this strategic culture. and so kind of a country, we refuse the policy or strategic isolation. and that brought us to the united states. and they are concerned about the going capabilities of china, especially again in your eyes pointed out, especially used by china as a multiplier your even rio. because from what i'm understanding over the russian post you're russia is not so

because moscow is molten economic competitor of the united states. russia, the united states are not competing for the same markets, or for the same sources of materials. they do not have territorial disputes. so in a way, most coo is, or it's least, it might be easier to deal with that. well, most definitely not as far as washington. i cannot make my but when it comes to military, my, i think i'm going to russia would argue that it has even a certain degree of superiority. and in fact, in the latest grad assessment reported by the us intel community, it was specifically said that the russian military rad increases dramatically when it serves, or if it serv, as to what they call the force multiplier for china. as far as the americans are concerned, do you think all these talk with the russians about strategic stability? isn't the ultimately about russia in the united states, or is it about the united states in china and russia serving simply as a trial you for a more difficult conversation? well, i think it's more complex. so whereas, if you dig some specific areas of the current glob

united united states says they're going to hold so low press conferences afterwards . though sa scare myself, with speculating just last hour about the reasons why you would do this, is it so it's a lot easier to say what you really want to say about your opponent when they're not stood next to you. why do you have a solo press conference? why do you think that doing it this time? well actually, no. the wasn't even the rest conference. after the geneva, some of the 85 wasn't doing press conference after reykjavik it's something that was a joint press conference mulder after the 1989, some of lord george bush and rico gorbachev's. so these things are decided based on the specific situation. i think that that is not fine for a joint press conference, but i wouldn't be surprised if both of them were toward the end of their meeting, discuss what they would be saying. i think that coordinating the public lines, so to say the theme the president would be useful, but i will not be there. so i don't know, i frankly hope that this will end on a positive no time. we're worried about what happens afterwards because unfortunately, even have to read it. we had some months of the rhetorical and polemical discussions that did not move things forward than we have. so mentions that, you know, put in my show the whole relationship. so it's important. first of all, to hopefully see a positive conclusion of this summit and that's important to see that it is not derailed afterwards. but you know, you said i didn't write. i'm also an optimist. i think one has come for a little more optimistic tone in our discussions. i think that's definitely a lot of optimism. we're going to have to wait and see. i know it's a p c, but here really is to i can't tell you what an attachment and honor it has been to speak to you to hear from someone from the inside who course has been part of so many historic events and whose role also has been literally to make sure that that is communication between people really has been a great passion. thank you so much. that was part of your punishment veteran russian to promote uninstalled protests. thank you. one, i mean time that is one topic that will absolutely be raised. this is something that the american president joe biden has said consistently. he has reiterated his commitment to press president putin on human rights. and specifically, on the case of russian activists on critic, i'll say no follow me who is currently solving out a prison sentence in a jail just east of moscow. this is something that he has said while in europe he has said that absolutely he is reaffirming his commitment fight against what he call, who calls political repression inside of russia. but correspondent constantino rushed golf as best place to talk all about the ins and out of that particular topic. only 2 percent of russians would support the legs in the valley if you run for president, according to recent polls. now the last western media often portray him as latimer putin's main challenger. and number one ho, so no surprise, he grabbed mainstream headlines when their favorite opposition. a theory suddenly felt sick on a flight last year. on in the the according to nevada, himself, the quick and professional response by russian medic save his life. russian specialists also didn't find any traces of toxic substances in his body. and ever his condition stabilized, they approved his transfer to germany. but while details were still to all the kremlin, aladdin reputed were immediately accused of an attempt on his life. the allegations were quickly backed up by german military medical examiner about his blood again and found navi chalk and nerve agent, well known to western audiences. after the latch, scoop out, poisoning in the u. k, in 2018 in both the screen power and the valve in cases, russian authorities repeatedly ask for any proof such as that entailed lab report to unequivocally show they indeed were poisoned by this particular nerve. agent, but their calls haven't been answered. there's no tangible evidence, nothing about those 3 bottles with the supposed traces of poison, no copies of the toxicology report, no results in biological tests. that if it turns out, then the valley says i with poisoned by the motion state and let him put in personally. and this is accepted by the west without any rejection. after through reviving what was described as the near fatal nerve agent attack, no valley recovered in less than a month and hit the ground running. naming 8 f as be, asians he believes, are responsible for his alleged poisoning and announced he's come back to russia. he was been arrested at the airport shortly after a landing in moscow for violating the terms of his parole, which dates back to the 2014 fraud conviction. now the opposition figure isn't a penal colony serving his due year a month sentence. and russian officials have warned, against discussing the case at the put in by meeting. well, there is nothing to discuss about. there is nothing to discuss about this gentleman his in prison and he's not a subject for the agenda of our bilateral relations. no malice arrest spark protest mostly in the russian capital. although the numbers who came out to the streets were much smaller than organizers expected. partly because the demonstrations were unauthorized due to the been damaged and police had to intervene sometimes using force. moscow was immediately accused of cracking down on the opposition state department strongly condemning the use of harsh tactics against protesters and journalists in cities throughout russia. these continued efforts to suppress russians rights to peacefully protest and assemble sweden and the you are concerned about the situation with democracy, civil society and human rights in russia, i will raise the topic of wallace, st. paul and his poisoning use of a nerve agent and his rest as well as the reaction of russian authorities to treat protest. there's an obvious drift towards authoritarianism, with in particular this arbitrary arrests collective arrests preventive arrests regarding the case of mr. alexis volney. more than 3000 people have been before delay arrested. this wave of detention is something that the russian authorities urged nations blaming moscow to sort out their own anti locked down demonstrations, which have often seen us. an officer is brutally charging at protesters the the . 8 latimer reputed way didn't noting some countries had shown a surprisingly close interest in the russian opposition. so take a look at the side defense in the united states, where people refuse to accept the election results and stormed the congress. why is it only our non systemic opposition? that you are interested in, and some think america itself may have questions to answer. i think 2 things are happening. one, the us pre g acts upon other countries. its own foibles, right? instead of looking in word, instead looks at the failings of other countries, but also, and maybe more importantly, it tries to use the shortcomings of other countries to justify invading those countries, sanctioning those countries. and that's what we see time. and again, i think that there are hypocrites, and that they use human rights as a sword. they use human rights as a justification for their neo coley colonial aspirations.

united states than anywhere in the world. nearly 600,000 of our fellow americans moms, dads sons brother sister's grandparents. more deaths from covid-19 in the united states than from world war i, world war ii, vietnam war and 9/11 combined. combined. we know the tragedy. we also know the path to recovery. united states is now vaccinated 64% of our dolts with at least one shot. this 4.5 months ago we were only a 5% with one shot. it took a herculean effort on the part of art government to manage one of the biggest and i would say the most complicated logistical challenges in our history. the ingenuity of science building on decades of research to develop a vaccine. it took the full capacity of american companies manufacturing and delivering the vaccines around-the-clock and as a result we have the lowest number of daily deaths since the first day of this pandemic. our economy is rebounding. a vaccination program has saved tens of thousands of lives. with that count growing each day it has allowed millions of americans to get back to living their lives. at the beginning of my presidency we have been clear that we need to attack this virus globally a

the united states which usually _ years now. the united states which usually leads _ years now. ually leads in - years now. the united states which usually leads in the - which usually leads in the lion, it is not only the largest literary power, it is just the largest voice in the room and many of the allies have become used to first of all listening to the united states and when they agree, which mostly they do, they followed them p donald trump was the loudest voice in the room but he was saying things that no—one could agree with, least of all the idea that nato was somehow a favour that the united states would do towards allies for which they needed to pay the united states. that is not what nato is about, asjoe biden said in your clip, nato is fundamentally in the national interest, it is something wejoined national interest, it is something we joined because national interest, it is something wejoined because it was about our security as well as europe's security so that change the fundamental predisposition that we saw in the last few hours in brussels was very different

united states effect people here. what is the lobbying effort in the united states? what is the defense contractors with their big machines getting these multi 1000000000 dollar contracts, 1000000 dollar contract to build this new ground based missile system in the united states? i mean, i'm happy to condemn what going on the united states, and i'm happy to condemn levels of corruption in russia because this is not the interest of the people in either country. so i think the volunteer should be a voice there. he doesn't pose a rep holden, he's not going to get elected dog catcher. but by making him a martyr this way, not only does that make him look bad in the eyes of the world, but it also elevates yvonne the stature. so i think this is a big mistake, peter. good night. thank you. she was going to talk to you after the break just hours before who's in med right and in geneva, you can us, he, you israel bombed besieged garza, the sign of all that war. in the middle east. we speak to the bestselling, reframed of the israel palestine conflict. camino and all the more co

united states. there has been no effort in the united states to regulate it. it has become of the meeting ground for individuals to incite violence in the united states. the attorney general has a lot of work cut out for him here. host: as we continue our conversation with marc ginsberg, a question on twitter. please define domestic extremism. guest: domestic extremism is violence committed in the homeland of the united states by individuals who either incited it from abroad or in the united states. for example, he may have individuals funding domestic militia groups and committing atrocities against racial and religious minorities. you have groups that have been declared illegal, for example proud boys in canada as a domestic terrorist organization. in the united states, it is on the fbi watchlist. so individuals in the united states committing acts against americans in the united states. host: from the administration's counterterrorist strategy, number one is understanding and sharing domestic terrorism related information. they say the u.s. government will e

isn't the ultimately about russia in the united states, or is it about the united states in china and russia serving simply as a trial you for and more difficult conversation? well, i think it's more complex. so whereas, if you take some specific areas of the current global military balance or actually steal fire and it will be the case for a long time. on the other hand, you the you, that the united states primarily concerned about going military capacities of the people's republic of china. after all, they more or less know how to deal with russia. we have a common strategic culture with the united states, which makes it little bit easier to talk and to a goody china at these particular juncture, is motivated to subscribe to strategic culture. so kind of you know, a country we refuse the policy. all of us continue guy solutions and that bought us to do not it states. and they are concerned about the going capabilities of china, especially again in your eyes. the point that out, especially even used by china as a multiplier does here even rio because from what i'm understanding over

if the national command in other words the president of the united states if the national command system made a determination that the united states was actively under nuclear attack then the united states would launch a retaliatory attack. the concept was referred to at the time as mutually assured destruction. and primarily it was the soviet union at the time the chinese had a little bit of influence in that as well, but it was the usa against the communists. primarily the europeans also had some some play in that but what would happen the idea was is anyone who would choose to attack the united states? with a nuclear weapon would have to live with an almost certainty that the united states would be able to retaliate with nuclear weapons. thus creating a session situation where nobody wins. the theory was mutual assured destruction. would create a situation where nobody would do that awful thing of start world war iii. from this point it looks like it might have worked but the interesting point about the acronym for mutual assured destruction is it's mad. so in that situation where an enemy may decide that they were mad a

i think that for the united states it demonstrates the value of nato because the united states has always been the biggest in all domains and equating the united states with china is not always the biggest. soon hechina will surpass the united states in terms of their economy . the united states, china is aiming to have a predominate military power by the middle of this century and china is leading some of the most limportant technologies including for instance some parts of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. for the united states to have not only the rise of china alone but to have 29 friends and allies in europe and canada, it's a great advantage especially if or when they are concernedabout the consequences of the rise of china . nato has become even more important for the united states because of the shifting goal of balance of power. >> i think it's also said today that you talked about china significantly in my own country riyadh got just about time for one last question and it comes from jeffrey raskin, a former us diplomat and now president of the american intuitive c

but again, a lot of skepticism inside the united states and outside the united states. as the taliban continues to make gains, just how much support the united states can give with these reduce numbers of security forces. all right, thank you very much. kimberly how can bring us to my house. that well has on our boss is a professor of international relations at the neary south asia center for strategic studies and author of the taliban revival joins is 5 guys from washington. so the us military deployment in afghan stone is coming to an end. that doesn't mean there is any sort of peaceful stability in the country as a hearing. the taliban are in control of 80 percent of afghanistan and continuing their advance. how long before the afghan government falls. i hope and mentally not for all garbled when not sure what we are seeing is not unexpected. we have seen the schedule expansion of the taliban control. taliban have been quite successful in building their own institution that the system, their control of the various districts. but it is 994 thought about to have changed

here in the united states, _ hospitalisations and deaths. here in the unitedave - hospitalisations and deaths. here in the united states, we have very - the united states, we have very uneven rates of vaccinations will stub the southern states have much lower rates. does that make them much more vulnerable, then, to the spread of the delta variant? it does. and we are going to start to see the divergence in the us, where many northern states, the rates of vaccination are quite high and are going to be relatively protected, whereas in the south, rates are quite low, and in the summer i expect we are going to see surges have been, hopefully in limited ways... every state in the us. the world health _ ways... every state in the us. the world health organization is recommending now that even vaccinated people should wear masks. is that advice that you think people around the world should be heating? it is. i think it is good public health advice. unfortunately, i think we've moved past that in the us, and in many parts of the world, we have now gotten to a place w

interim strategic national security guidance also affirm that the united states lead in promoting and forging new agreements in the united states. the united states believes that the development that the norms of behavior can reduce risk to international security and stability and increasing predictability and reducing risks of misperception and preventing conflict. that's why in 2020, the united states worked with our close allies to advance a new united nations general assembly resolution titled reducing space threats for norms for principles of responsible behavior. we believe it can serve as a first step for the space system to develop ideas, i don't believe behaviors designed to-- to consider the establish it. of channels and direct perception. and that provides an alternative to arms controls proposals and many agree with that approach. the resolution was adopted by the general assembly this last fall. 164 votes for and only 12 against, among them russia, china, iran, syria, north korea, cuba and venezuela. on may 3rd, 2021 pursuant to the resolution for report on proposed next step, the state department submitted
