there are so many more satellites going up now, and the space force, the us space force and before thatng out which objects might collide with each other, and then sending out all of those collision warnings to satellite operators around the world. gets a free service the us government has provided since the beginning of the space age that the world has come to rely on, to provide that safety of flight information, and with all the new objects going up there in space, they simply need more radar, more telescope sides, more eyes on this guy to keep track of what's going on. so it's an additional perspective radar network on top of what they already have, is that right?— is that right? that's right, the space _ is that right? that's right, the space force _ is that right? that's right, the space force already i the space force already operates a network around the world of radar and optical telescopes that keep track of what's happening in space, so to other countries as well, and many other allied countries, we share that space situational awareness data with one another so we can all ha

using drones change the calculus of using force? >> i think figuring out how drones figure risk calculation over sovereign air space and what we do in response to someone shoots down our own drones, right. i think that drones, seems to be that it makes it easier for us to go to war with drones. but it's -- it's a little risk option and therefore more likely to be involved in more conflicts because we have this weapon system. and i argue that -- that i i don't think that that's the case. i've talked about, you know, when president obama left office we were connecting the strikes in 7 different countries, afghanistan, syria and yemen, somalia and niger and iraq and i think that was 7. pakistan. and in those 7 countries, only one of them where we were only conducting drone strikes alone, no other use of military force. so in all of the other situations you have either man strikes that are occurring and special operations teams on the ground and other military forces that are being deployed. so if it were easier for us to just get conflict solely through the use of drone, then why would we imemployee other aspects? pakistan is kind of a

space where they are not sure the committee wants them. they are concerned that if they are involved in use of force, they will immediately be vilified with protesters in front of their house and they are acutely aware given the volume of guns that are on the street that they may have to use force. the marked difference that you are seeing is a removal of services in a police force that is reactive and the only way you can fight crime is if you disrupted ahead of time and has not been occurring. >> you touched on about five different things i planned to ask you about. you have talked about how it is crucial. last month, you launched engagement to get your community out there. i think it has only been three or four weeks since we have been doing this but how has that gone for you so far? >> previously, you always have to figure out what the issue is that you are facing. here what i have encountered is officers are just not confident that the command leadership, the administration, the community and city council will support this. there is a real reluctance and a real hesitancy to step forward and step out. stepping out of that is a high vo

afghanistan, they were the 1st group of interpreters he helped us forces during the war or on their way to america. i said plastic as to james space, a lie for us in kabul. and james, this all comes after the senate passed this emergency bill providing extra visas, extra funding to help facilitate the transfer of interpreters from afghanistan to the us. that isn't enough to help all of those who worked with the americans during the war who are in real danger, all reprisals from the taliban. well certainly we know that there is a mass evacuation of military interpreters taking place. and the 1st of this series of flights is on its way, we believe about $200.00 people on board. and we know that the u. s. has in the past, brought out some of the interpreters with them in afghanistan. but i think it's worth considering the scale of the number of africans that have worked with international forces over the last 20 years. rewind, 10 years. there were about 150000 nato. and us troops here that are about 400 international military bases across afghanistan. just think how many guns were employed in all those bases as interpreters, because

forces at debugging base. at the moment, buggerminski is considered considered important very, who said symbolically, because all those patients and growing depression was managed and ordered from this space. it was used to be the us central command. on the other hand, paula barn also welcome the decision and said that we support the exit of all foreign forces from a background base and they will come that decision. the other hand, general scott miller, the us forces of one son commanded, also met with the president of honey. and he again reaffirmed as a boat and how to be honest on the especially stood up when security forces. on the other hand, there are a lot of a lot of his collisions of attacks going on in atlanta. some of the moments are 100 districts were captured by the taliban from one security forces, including some, some, some major districts. and we are also witnessing some of the districts were also captured by the taliban. and the what the, what the problem is close to to go to the capital cobble this morning when i was talking to the people close to the bargain. i'm your best. they had a lot of concerns and because they were very dependent on the space, they had a lot of jobs their day.

space within a short the committee wants them deployed. they are concerned that if they're involved in use the force they would be immediately dignified. they are aware of the volume of guns on the street and have to use force. the market difference you are seeing is, one is the removal of services for kids, and two, if police were reactive and the only way you deter crime is it you insert yourself in it as a cop and disrupt it ahead of time, and that has not been occurring. >> you touched on about five different things i plan to ask you about. let's go first to proactiveed policing. you talked about how that's crucial, and so last month you launched executive team engagement to get your commanders out in thent communiy to encourage proactive policing. you've been out there, too. how has that god? what if you learned? it's only been three or four weeks you been doing this but how has that going for you so far? >> so previously i think as a cheap you always have to get what the issue is that you are facing. there are similarities but the issues i have original from the ones i have -- hear what i've encountered was officers just will not
