or mike, my kind of in washington dc. thanks a lot. we'll talk in greece fair, being at the forefront of another refugee crisis has thousands of afghans look to flee taliban rule. turkey is already building a wall along the border with iran to stop people cross illegally. while greece has said it cannot become a gateway into the european union for africans. greece was on the front line of years, migration crisis, of course in 2015. when nearly a 1000000 people fleeing conflicts in syria and iraq and enough chemist on landed on its islands, let's cross to london, john hope standing by there in china. as we heard from the native secretary general, a sultan bag. this failure to hold back the taliban could present untold challenges like human rights issues and of course migration crisis. yes, i mean, i think there is a deep feeling of unease across europe at the moment on that very question of refugees. it is clear that this could spark an exodus. it is equally clear that most of the people who might choose to leave afghanistan probably wo

a lot of national capitals kabul, washington, dc- do?n, dc included do? a lot of national capitals - kabul, washington, dc included have been breathing their own exhaust. when it comes to the capability of the afghan government and security forces and the importance of afghanistan to western geostrategic interests, the afghans have convinced themselves that we will never go, that the international community, the americans, in particular would never leave, take their ground troops away, take their combat capability away. they convince themselves of that and they have had over 18 months since the trump administration signed the agreement with the taliban in february of 2020 saying that we will leave in may 2021, they have had over 18 months to stockpile food, to stockpile weapons and ammunition and to prepare themselves with the strategy and defensive positions for this fight and they squandered that entire opportunity. and now what you are seeing is the taliban who have negotiated all of these surrenders deals with the various army and po

another in washington dc, another deceased local leader. and so, there are hundreds of inspiring grassroots leaders and pastors who are doing phenomenal work rebuilding and also for e-books in chicago there are thousands of indigenous leadersa who are what i call joseph's. my book, the joseph's, joseph was w important because even though he was treated unjustly like your father, he never came to bitterness. and he ended up saving conley's brothers who betrayed him but also the egyptians who enslaved him read there's an example of radical grace. this was party for people not to get caught up in recent months. because of hatred and hatred and animosity it consumes you. like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. so were trying to emphasize in this book, we wanted to inspire people to come together to look beyond race and focus more on the upward mobility of those at the bottom. and yes use hes our talents insd of always fighting each other or i want to engage in the tribal warfare. but there are people of antagonism and they are

not just democrats versus republicans but washington dc against the american people and it is wrongeve: i'm so please you start of a centralization i feel strongly about it because it is a totally antithetical to the entire spirit or the idea of the constitution to decentralize power it centralizes so much in washington. in terms of the process we are hearing chuck schumer is hoping to get 100 senators to vote for the so-called bipartisan to expedite the process to get onto the bernie bill. will you be a part of that? what can you do to stop that quick. >> the best thing we could have done is to stop the one that the senate is working on right now because we have a few people who made clear they will not pass unless they both pass the we should not be facilitating that in the meantime when it does come up in the budget resolution comes up i think we will be united me and my fellow republicans i wish we were united against the bipartisan bill that we will fight like heck. three.$5trillion is what they want to spend more say it's like five so that will dilute the buying power of every

at that same paradigm and say that if somebody was able to for instance we went into an area of washington dc where there's 53 gang murders in 2 years. i trained five social entrepreneurs in washington as defenders to have the trust and confidence of the community and they and the 12-year-old boy was killed and i said god has chosen, they brought in 16 young men to my office downtown and took a van and they worked on a truce and they took the same young men who were terrorizing the community and turned them into ambassadors of peace and as a consequence we didn't have a single gang murder for 12 years. and we harvested these nc principles that we learned from this and have now applied it to other cities. that's what i mean by leadership and it occurs the way for instance, steve jobs created an instrument that's now 60 percent of apple's income but it didn't invent eight years ago. because that's how local innovation can occur. i'm hoping if local grassroots leaders are able to stop 53 murders, reduce it then it will provide a testbed, a model for what can happen across the nation. >> how do y
