Joe Biden Visits Kyiv; Donald Trump Will Visit East Palestine
"I know you're probably worn out by all of the hyperventilating going on over Biden's surprise visit to Kyiv. Oh, the media just thinks it's the greatest thing ever since Ronald Reagan said mister Gorbachev tear down this wall. It's a Winston Churchill moment. I heard somebody say that this morning, I was drove the car right into Tampa Bay. A Winston Churchill moment. Biden thinks Winston Churchill is down the hall from him having lunch. Winston Churchill. I'll bet you the people of these Palestinian would appreciate a visit or two from the sitting president of the United States. You know who is going to be in east Palestinian this week, right? The 45th president of the United States, and that would be Donald Trump. So Trump is going to visit the people in east Ohio, but not the president, the sitting president of the United States. Got it. Good to know, huh?

"You're listening to the best of Bloomberg opinion I'm vani Quinn. Just more than 6 months after the start of Russia's war on Ukraine, the man who presided over the end of the Soviet Union died. President Reagan and I signed the treaty on the elimination of intermediate and shorter range missiles. Mikhail Gorbachev won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 for, quote, the leading role he played in the radical changes in east west relations. In the scheme of history, however, his was a complicated role. I spoke with Bloomberg opinions Clara Ferrera Marquez about the complex legacy of the man who ended the Cold War. Tara, what for you is the lasting legacy of Mikhail Gorbachev. I think it's a really interesting and far more difficult question than I think a lot of people realize and particularly in the west where we have a very particular view of Gorbachev and what he did and what he represents for many of us is the end of the evil empire. It's in reality a lot more complicated. So he was clearly a man of the system and man who wanted to work within the system. Obviously he did not start out to collapse the Soviet Union. That was unintended consequence largely of economic and reform. He changed the world. He was able to end the Soviet Union largely peacefully and that is remarkable. But also that a lot of the ill conceived economic reforms that he brought in the chaos that he left in his wake allowed kleptocracy to take root and in many ways he is responsible for where Russia is today, Russia is two, of course, Putin and many of us in the west who supported the system, but the economic plundering that was possible was to a degree because of Gorbachev. Right, there's a little bit more of a complicated legacy than just he presided over the end of the USSR. And think about him as a bit of a political Rorschach test. To us in the west, he's the man that Margaret Thatcher said she could do business with. For many in the former Soviet states, he demanded the brought down the wall. But for Russians and I think in particular what matters for us as we look at this today is really what he means for the Putin regime. And for them, he is the man who lost an empire, the man who brought national humiliation to a great nation. And I think that's really very, very important in understanding where we are today. So just to go back to perestroika in Glasgow's those reforms were life-changing events, countries, state changing events, were there any remnants of what Gorbachev had introduced? Well, that's a difficult one. I'd say almost no. So if you think about the three things that he really wanted to bring, he really wanted a thriving economy. He wanted openness and he wanted democracy. And under Putin all three have been undone. But the concept of posturing the concept of Glasgow slightly different. And they also self reinforcing means transparency clarity. It was about openness and really that began very strongly after Chernobyl, which was a failure of the system that kept so many secrets. And prior story was the reconstruction. So that's what destroyed means to reconstruct. And what happened in fact is so relevant to today because when he started to unpick it, he found that the Soviet empire was sort of nothing it was built on violence. It was built on lies and really that's what we will find with the Putin regime. Archie Brown in The Guardian said Gorbachev was asked a couple of years ago what is epitaph should be any replied we tried. He was devastated apparently by the war, and at the same time, Clara, he must have seen this coming in some ways. I don't want to compare it to other rises and falls of other regimes and so on, but in some ways, these things are visible in advance, right? And certainly in the case of Russia, this was potentially extraordinarily visible, especially to a statesman like Gorbachev, who then handed off to yeltsin, who then handed off to Putin. I think in terms of thinking about the collapse of the Soviet system, two things are important. One is that they themselves think about this. Beijing thinks that the Beijing spends an awful lot of time studying perestroika began to go back to the Rorschach test it really says everything about fishing and not much about Mikhail Gorbachev. The second thing is just in terms of the visibility. So when we look at the subject collapse most important thing is really to think that what was obvious was that it would come to an end. It wasn't at all obvious how it would come to an end or when. And I think the same is true today. We have an extremely brittle system and a system that is hollowing itself out stagnant economy and impossible plundering of resources at the top, predicting when that can end. I mean, that is almost impossible. You mentioned that Beijing studied perestroika, what lessons did Beijing learn from this study, what so called errors of perestroika would Beijing seek to try and avoid. I mean, interestingly, I would argue they take all the wrong lessons from this. They look at Gorbachev. I mean, obviously, there were violent incidents. But by and large, he was averse to violence and Beijing sees certain, I think, Xi Jinping once made a comment about the iron grip that Gorbachev did not have. They really see this as a sort of demonstration that forced its required if somebody wants to pull out of your empire, you pull them back in. I force and obviously that's what's happened, for example, with Hong Kong. The other thing they think about it as economic and political reform, which comes first. And they really see as a problem that would happen in Russia was that political reform was done so. So that there was openness. There was an ability to discuss the errors and everything was out in the open and they'd see that. The fundamental, but it's a really interesting study because it has changed over time. So Kara, you would have seen this happening when you were a youngster in school and so on, but you did arrive in Russia, not that long after some of these changes were enacted, what was it like? Was it a free and open society where there was a view towards the market economics and so on, or was the yeltsin era already showing signs of strain? I think what the yields are near a really showed was that we were heading towards the sort of personalist and collected democratic system and at the time it perhaps wasn't so obvious we saw a different direction of travel. So I arrived in Russia in August 97. So just before the financial crisis, the year after. And it was a time that was extremely chaotic, extremely painful, economically. And also quite violent to be clear, this was not an easy time at all. But it was a hopeful time in the sense that people did see something better down the line. They were sort of living through this period, even during the 98 crisis, which is absolutely catastrophic. I'd say a lot of us has been reversed the hope in particular, but also this idea that we could escape stagnation, take the auto industry, or take the aviation industry, for example. Clara, Putin, how would Vladimir Putin have been shaped by the events that Mikhail Gorbachev oversaw? I think there are two very important events I think important to understand where Putin is today and the mythical man that he is. One is effectively 1989. He was the young KGB officer in Dresden in Germany. And there's an absolutely he's written about. He was at the case of your headquarters and there was a mob approaching and he was desperate to preserve what was inside and he called the Red Army and he asked for reinforcements. And they said, we haven't got a pro Moscow. So you can't do anything. And then they said something that stayed with him, which as they said, Moscow was silent. And this particular phrase for him was really a sort of demonstration of powerlessness. It was a humiliation. He felt the country no longer existed and he wanted to reverse this destruction of an empire. He said later that the thousand years of our work was undone. The second important moment is that he did consider the role that a collapse in the economy played. So for him and macroeconomic stability was and remains absolutely crucial and he very often positions himself in contrast with the chaos of the 1990s. Obviously that's very ironic given where we are today with the Russian economy where he himself has pushed the economy back to pretty much that period. Yeah. How is Gorbachev seen by the majority of Russians if there is a majority opinion on Gorbachev? Well, Russians opinions on complicated and it depends to some extent what age you are. But I think for a long time, he was actually completely ignored. He was a fringe figure. He complained about the first and regime, though I would say that he saw Ukraine in Russia's orbit the way that Putin does. That doesn't mean he advocated an invasion. In fact, he clearly spoke up against it. But it didn't have a radically different view. I think it's important to understand the role that political deaths play and the regime like this. So political death funeral, the eulogy, the whole pageantry around that is not about the

And this particular phrase for him was really a sort of demonstration of powerlessness. It was a humiliation. He felt the country no longer existed and he wanted to reverse this destruction of an empire. He said later that the thousand years of our work was undone. The second important moment to think about when we think about that segment is that he did consider the role that a collapse in the economy plays. So for him and macroeconomic stability was and remains absolutely crucial and he very often positions himself in contrast with the chaos of the 1990s. Obviously that's very ironic given where we are today with the Russian economy where he himself has pushed the economy back to pretty much that period. Yeah. You wrote a column in which you said that Putin will actually exploit Gorbachev's death. He explained that a little bit more to us, how is Gorbachev seen by the majority of Russians if there is a majority opinion on Gorbachev and how will Putin exploit the death? Well, Russians opinions on Gorbachev. And it depends to something what age you are. But I think if you remember, he did that absolutely awful Pizza Hut that in the 90s. And the hawks into a restaurant, there's a family there and the family start arguing. He brought economic chaos and then the younger person in the family and the son says something like he brought his freedom. Oh no, he brought us political instability. This sort of debate is a real debate for many Russians. But I think for a long time, he was actually completely ignored. He was a fringe figure. He complained about the prison regime, though I would say that he saw Ukraine in

"And under person all three have been undone. But the concept of posturing the concept of glasnost as slightly different. And they also self reinforcing means transparency clarity. It was about openness and really that began very strongly after Chernobyl, which was a failure of the system that kept so many secrets. And prior story was the reconstruction. So that's what destroyed means to reconstruct. And what happened in fact is so relevant to today because when he started to unpick it, he found that the Soviet empire was built on nothing it was built on violence. It was built on lies and really that's what we will find with the Putin regime. Archie Brown and The Guardian said Gorbachev was asked a couple of years ago what is epitaph should be any replied we tried. He was devastated apparently by the war, and at the same time, Clara, he must have seen this coming in some ways. I don't want to compare it to otherwise and folds of other regimes and so on, but in some ways, these things are visible in advance, right? And certainly in the case of Russia, this was potentially extraordinarily visible, especially to a statesman like Gorbachev, who then handed off to yeltsin, who then handed off to Putin. I think in terms of thinking about the collapse of the Soviet system and obviously we're all thinking about that now when we remember Gorbachev, we think about the Putin regimes. Do you think they're important? One is that they themselves think about this. Beijing thinks about the Beijing spends an awful lot of time studying perestroika and the errors of Mikhail Gorbachev. And in fact, if you look at the statements that have come out of Beijing since his death, I think they really are indicative against going back to the Rorschach test it really says everything about Beijing and not much about Mikhail Gorbachev. The second thing is just in terms of the visibility. So when we look at the subject collapse, it does tell us a lot about what might happen here. But I think most important thing is really to think that what was obvious was that it would come to an end. It wasn't at all obvious how it would come to an end or when. And I think the same is true today. We have an extremely brittle system and a system that is hollowing itself out stagnant economy and impossible plundering of resources at the top, predicting when that can end. I mean, that is almost impossible. You mentioned that Beijing studied perestroika, what lessons did Beijing learn from this study, what so called errors of perestroika would Beijing seek to try and avoid. I mean, interestingly, I would argue they take all the wrong lessons from this. They look at Gorbachev. I mean, obviously, there were violent incidents. But by and large, he was averse to violence, and Beijing sees certain, I think, Xi Jinping once made a comment about the iron grip that Gorbachev did not have. So they really see this as a sort of demonstration that forces required if somebody wants to pull out of your empire, you pull them back in. I force and obviously that's what's happened, for example, with Hong Kong. The other thing they think about it as sort of economic and political reform, which comes first. And they really see as a problem that what happened in Russia was that political reform was done so. So that there was openness. There was an ability to discuss the errors and everything was out in the open and they'd see that. It's fundamental, but it's a really interesting study because it has changed over time. So Kara, you would have seen this happening when you were a youngster in school and so on, but you did arrive in Russia, not that long after some of these changes were enacted, what was it like? Was it a free and open society where there was a view towards the market economics and so on? Or was the yeltsin era already showing signs of strain? I think what the yields are near a really showed was that we were heading towards the sort of personalist eclectic system and at the time it perhaps wasn't so obvious we saw a different direction of travel. So I arrived in Russia in August 97. So just before the financial crisis, the year after. And it was a time that was

Biden insisted threats to democracy include people who call for violence and those who don't denounce it, along with those who refuse to acknowledge an election result. On Thursday Biden said too much of what's happening in the U.S. is not normal. I'm Jim Forbes. You're listening to Bloomberg opinion. I'm Ronnie Quinn. The death is a speak of Mikhail Gorbachev elicited a massive response, a huge statesman presiding over the death of a system, the whole way of governance, and a body of countries as they became. Also, maybe a little bit of trepidation in underscoring a final legacy for Gorbachev. I spoke with Bloomberg opinions, Clara Ferrera Marquez. Clara, what for you is the lasting legacy of Mikhail Gorbachev. I think it's a really interesting and the far more difficult question than I think a lot of people realize and particularly in the west where we have a very particular view of Gorbachev and what he what he did and what he represents for us for many of us is the end of the evil empire. It's in reality a lot more complicated. So he was clearly a man of the system, a man who wanted to work within the system. Obviously he did not start out to collapse the Soviet Union. That was unintended consequence largely of economic and co reform. He changed the world. He was able to end the Soviet Union largely peacefully and that is remarkable. But also a lot of the ill conceived economic reforms that he brought in the chaos that he left in his wake allowed kleptocracy to take root and in many ways he is responsible for where Russia is today, Russia is two, of course, Putin, many of us in the west who supported the system, but the way that the Soviet Union came to an end, the economic plundering that was possible was to a degree because of Gorbachev. Right, now we had volodymyr yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher on the show a few weeks ago who actually has been tweeting something similar, he says that Gorbachev is an eternal problem of Russian democracy that he's almost a symptom of its incapacity to stick with principles he wanted a democratize the USSR, but finally back to Russia, fascism. Now obviously, this is coming from a Ukrainian philosopher who is experiencing the war. But there is some truth to that, right? There's a little bit more of a complicated legacy than just he presided over the end of the USSR. And I think if you think about some as a bit of a political Rorschach test. So to us in the west he's the man that Margaret Thatcher said she could do business with. For many in the former Soviet states, he's demand that brought down the wall. But for Russians and I think in particular what matters for us as we look at this today and we think about which end of August early September 2022 is really what he means for the Putin regime. And so then he is the man who lost an empire. The man who brought national humiliation to a great nation. And I think that's really very, very important in understanding where we are today. So just to go back to perestroika in Glasgow's those reforms were life-changing events, countries, state changing events. Is there any remnants of those left in Russia? I mean, obviously the last few months have changed the story completely, but even before that, were there any remnants of what Gorbachev had introduced? Well, that's a difficult one. I'd say almost almost no. So if you think about the three things that he really wanted to bring, he really wanted a thriving economy. He wanted openness and he wanted democracy

Global news, 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quick tank, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts and more than a 120 countries. I'm Michael Barr in this is Bloomberg Nathan. All right, Michael, thank you. It is 6 19 on Wall Street live from the Bloomberg interactive broker studios. This is Bloomberg daybreak and Tom porcelli joins us now, chief U.S. economist at RBC capital markets as we march closer to an August payrolls report and a December the September decision from the federal open markets committee. Tom, good morning. We have all these signs, some signs at least that inflation is easing a bit at the same time. We have further signs of a continued tight labor market. What's the challenge for the fed? Well, good morning. Good to be with you as always. Look, I think that for the fed, I think it's not it's not having the blinders on, right? I mean, let's be honest. They had them on last year. They really only focused on labor at the expense of inflation. I hope that it's not a replay of last year where this year, there would be more focused on inflation at the expense of labor. I mean, one of the great things about the fed is that they actually do have a dual mandate. It's sort of a unique thing in amongst central banks. And I think that really gives them so much latitude. And make no mistake. I mean, right now it is supposed to be about inflation. I think Powell actually did a great job during his Jackson hole speech where he said all the right things. He is supposed to say it's all about inflation right now that we're going to keep at it until inflation starts to improve and et cetera, et cetera. He was supposed to say all those things. In fact, I think for people waiting for him to say something different than that. He's going to be the last one to say it. He's going to say when it's obvious to everyone. And I'm sympathetic to that. But having said all of that, we have the luxury as economist and analyst and strategist of being able to sort of look a little further out and say, hey, look, we think that inflation is probably going to slow down. We think labor backdrop is going to slow down. And as a result, we don't see this hiking cycle going on for meaningfully meaningfully longer. He can't say that. So I think everyone should just sort of set up their expectations correctly around what he sort of will and will and I'd say. And what he will continue to say is that there's a lot of work to do. Given what he has said, what does that mean that the fed is going to do when they come right down to that decision in September? Is it too soon to call it given all the rest of the data that needs to come down between then and now? Nothing's ever too soon to call. So look, what I would say is right now, our expectations that they're going to do 50. If you get a blowout payroll report, if you get a blowout CPI, then yes, I think that the odds or the risk that they do 75 will certainly grow. But it's funny, the fed is fond of saying that they're data dependent. I think that this might be a very hyper attentive data dependency period right here right now. I think two reports are really going to dictate. Do you think we're going to get a blowout payrolls on Friday? You know, I do. I do think it could be a pretty decent one actually. I think consensus is 300 on left I looked at my Bloomberg screen. We think you could easily have a forward handle on payroll. So all things are relative to expectations. It would obviously be quite a bit slower versus the 430,000 jobs that we printed. Last month. But all things are almost always relative to expectations. So I think the consensus is a little light right here. And what about wages? That's a big concern for the fed as well, whether we could be heading into a wage price spiral that feeds into inflation expectations. Yeah, it's a totally great question. And a fair one. And so what I would say is, look, I think that there's countless ways of looking at inflation. There's countless ways of calculating it. And there's countless literally measures of inflation. I think the best measure of inflation right now is average weekly earnings. It's better than average hourly earnings. Average high earnings are an incomplete measure, average weekly earnings include hours. And the thing that I think some people are missing is that hours are actually slowing

"Okay, Bloomberg's Berlin bureau chief braggart yen and thank you very much for taking us through all of that. This is Bloomberg. Now the paper review on Bloomberg daybreak Europe. The news you need to know from today's papers. So let's have a look at the fun pages of the newspapers the Financial Times sunac warns over the risk of markets losing faith in the British economy, The Guardian Mikhail Gorbachev the Soviet leader who ended the Cold War dies aged 91 and the times an app will let patients avoid long NHS weights. These are the top news stories but in both the Ann gars is here to take us through them, Rishi sunak's warning pretty interesting the FT, yes it is indeed Caroline, so he's saying that it would be complacent and irresponsible to ignore the risk of markets losing confidence in the British economy. The admission comes as bets against UK government debt sent short term borrowing costs in the guilt market soaring that was yesterday in an interview with the FT sunac said as leadership rival Liz truss had made unfounded spending commitments, which he fears could force up inflation and also interest rates and increase borrowing costs here in the UK. Liz truss is widely expected to be named the next prime minister but sunac is still insisting that he can win with the odds against him, so warning about the British economy from the former Chancellor there. The Mikhail Gorbachev is on the front page of the newspapers in the UK today. What's The Guardian saying about him? Yes, lots of pictures of him on the front pages as you just said Steven and he's really been hailed as one of the most influential politicians of the 20th century. Mikhail Gorbachev is credited with bringing a peaceful end to the Cold War and the demise of communism across central and also Eastern Europe. The Guardian writes that he was celebrated abroad as a savior who delivered freedom to millions of Soviet citizens now that he was often blamed at home for the chaotic years that really followed the end of the Soviet rule, Gorbachev, who did win the noble Peace Prize back in 1990. He died after a difficult and protracted illness. So Gorbachev, they're dying yesterday. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, really, we couldn't be in a kind of more different position with Gorbachev ushering in that detente between Russia and the west. He of course didn't have a great relationship with Vladimir Putin, but aren't we in a different political moment? Meanwhile, though, turning away from that kind of global politics, here at home, the NHS waitlist is another massive preoccupation. It is indeed and more than 6.7 million people here in the UK are now waiting for routine treatment on the NHS. A ministers are now Caroline really trying to find ways to clear this backlog we've also had COVID. The house secretary Steve Barkley wants to give patients real-time data on their phones to decide whether to travel further to get quicker treatment for things like hip replacements, cataract removals, and also non urgent procedures. The time says patients will be able to use the NHSN to shop around for hospitals with shorter waiting lists, however some in the NHS are really skeptical about whether more choice or actually make any difference. And that's really after efforts since new labor to give patients more options just really led to most people sticking to their local hospitals so sticking to the hospital that they probably know around the corner closer to home, but there is this drive to try and clear that backlog and also ahead of the winter time. Okay, we are going to thank you very much. We are going to thank you very much for that tour through the papers this morning. And I still have to come on Bloomberg daybreak Europe.

It was earlier that Taiwan president Tsai ing Wen ordered the military to take tougher measures against such incursions.

Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake, I'm Doug Krishna in New York, Brian. All right, thanks very much, Doug. The time is 8 minutes past the hour premises our guest global head of rate strategy at TD securities. I almost can't think of anyone I'd rather talk to right now. Priya, you're the perfect guest for the time. So this better data really complicates the fed's job. And Bloomberg economics has the terminal rate all the way up at 5%. You're not that high, but you're still pretty high. Right, thanks for having me. So, you know, our view for the terminal rate is closer to four, three 75 to four. But I think it does depend, as you said, on the economic data, but the data responds with a lag. So the fact that the fed has been raising rates, we still haven't really seen the impact of the rate hikes. We have on financial conditions we haven't on the economy. Our views, things are going to slow down. The intra sensitive sectors are slowing down. But really, it's going to come down to inflation. That's public enemy number one. And if inflation doesn't show signs of moderating, then I think risks to the terminal radar are higher. And the market's pricing in about four very close to our focus, but I would say yes to the upside if inflation numbers don't decelerate. I don't think we're looking for the fed is looking for 2%. But that monthly change consistent with a .2 month over month. I think that's what they're looking for in order for them to stop that hiking cycle. And I may not happen in the near term. Priya, also, I mean, I think you just said it, we haven't probably seen the effect of the rate heights we've already had. That, of course, presents another problem. Does it not of overshooting and over tightening? Exactly. And I think that's why the yield curve continues to invert. In fact, I like a flat note. I think the curve can invert some more because I think the fed is telling us that they are focused on inflation, even if there is some pain in the economy. I mean, they've been Chappelle's words. And that is telling us that the risk of over tightening is growing by the day, because they're going to keep tightening, then keep rich restrictive for a while. And I think they almost telling us that their hands are tight. They may not be able to respond to growth slowdown if there isn't that inflation deceleration. And that's why the long end of the treasury market is seeing demand. Because the front end is all about inflation, but risk assets are struggling and what's the safest place to be in, it's actually long treasuries. So I think the market is pricing in that over tightening scenario. Yeah, no change for the yield on the ten year at 3.10%. But there are plenty who expect that to move up to back around the three and a half percent range. As you say, the time the fed needs some time here to get several inflation prints that would indicate that the job is getting done. So does this mean that the higher for longer we heard from J pal with his latest data means even higher for even longer? I think the even longer part is one I'm completely on board with. But in terms of whether they need to go even higher than what's priced in Ohio then their dot plot. I think really is going to depend upon both growth as well as inflation. I mean, the energy

"Leader Mikhail Gorbachev on a tour of Red Square and the spring of 1988. Behind the boy stands a blond man dressed in tourist garb with a camera around his neck who bears an unmistakable resemblance to young poutine. And so, Pete Souza put this thing out. And sure enough, it really does look like now Putin was KGB at the time. And in fact, at this time he was assigned to the Stasi, These German secret police, murderers and torturers. At that time he was assigned to Dresden. I believe in East Germany, but he could certainly have made because President Reagan was coming and they needed all hands on deck and, according to intelligence officials, everybody gathered for this photo op with Putin out there in Red Square. There were KGB and KGB families, right? As they staged all this stuff. They're communists. They lie about everything so one agent said, according to the story said, Yeah, these are all KGB families out here. And it looks like poutine slipping into the frame with Reagan and Gorbachev, you know, and he looks a little nervous, but it looks like it's him. The pointy nose face kind of thing. Strong guy, you know, for killing people more effectively and things like that. That's good stuff. That's very good stuff there.

The Institute of Illegal Images
"According to mark mcleod the origins of blotter art come from the criminalization of lsd. Lsd was originally distributed at liquid before becoming illegal in all fifty states after nineteen sixty. Six underground drug dealers. Started using something called blotter sheets. They dip these paper sheets and lsd and let them dry then they cut it up and sell it that way pretty soon. They were printing artwork onto these blotter sheets and eventually artists were designing images specifically for the broader sheets. They were fun. Little codes clues as to where the blotter might have come from and who might have made it. And it's all this blotter. Art mark mcleod collects and displays in the blotter barn. The barn is just the a skeletal formation of the entire history of blotter which has a very small history from november nineteen. Sixty eight to return and i tried to get examples with sprint across.

"gorbachev" Discussed on WLS-AM 890
"To about four minutes of the most important part of maybe Reagan's greatest speech now. Now the Soviets themselves may in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures intended to raise false hopes in the West or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness for we believe that freedom and security go together. At the advance of Human Liberty. The advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign that the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable. That would advance Dragovic dramatically. The cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev if you seek peace If you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. If you seek liberalization. Come here to this gate. Mr Gorbachev, open this gate. I used to rub itself. Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall. I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent. And I pledge to you my country's efforts to help overcome these burdens. To be sure, we in the West must pre resist Soviet expansion, so we must maintain.

Vlad tidings: demonstrations across Russia
"On saturday tens of thousands of russians took to the streets in more than a hundred towns and cities across the country. In support of jailed kremlin critic. Alexey navalny protesters chanted. Putin is a thief as well as freedom to navalny chilling videos emerged police beating and kicking demonstrators. The response was not one about an out brutality. More than three thousand arrests were made at. Even mr navalny's wife was briefly. Detained the demonstrations were sparked mr navalny's arrest on spurious charges. Just as soon as he returned from germany last week but protesters were also fired up by to our video narrated by mr navalny and released a day later. Throw it saw my viceroy was thirty. Wrestling depicts a lavish palace. On the black sea. Allegedly built for president vladimir putin and funded with dodgy. Money allegations the kremlin dismissed as just rumor mr putin remains in a tough spot with disquiet spreading and his loudest critic making just as much trouble while in jail as he did out of it. This was not my first protest in moscow in quite a few the past few years are cody. Trotsky is russia editor in moscow. I would say that. Fear was one of caution pretty much on both sides the fact that people have braved the streets brave. The police cordons came out. Despite enormous intimidation campaign was waged. By the kremlin in the preceding days is in itself extraordinary russia's much more repressive state today than it was even a few years ago. The people who were out in the street was certainly not radicals as abba in moscow protests. That was scary. Moments police charging but on the whole the police behavior some restraint and its actions were nowhere on the level of violence and brutality which we saw a few months ago in neighboring belarus. There was no special measures with no tear. Gas rubber bullets so it was definitely tense. But i didn't see many of the accesses and when we spoke to protesters what were they saying. Why were they out. The protesters came from the social strata and had different possibly political beliefs. What brought them out onto the street. Were few things. There was a sense of injustice over the arrest of alexei novel name who was arrested at possible control on the rival at airport and is now facing three and a half years in jail for breaking parole rules on a previous suspended sentence and the reason he broke his parole rules. That didn't comfortable to the police was just happened to be recovering from novichok nerve agent poisoning in germany. So people obvious that as an injustice the other big catalyst for the protest was the release of alexander violence extraordinary two hour long documentary film about allegedly putin secret palace in the black sea coast which was bill deem volumes cronies at a cost of one point three billion dollars. It's your absolutely archetypal. James bond villains had with all the trimmings and the golden toilet brushes that made a big impact. It clocked over eighty million views on youtube. An underlying over that was just general sense of tidiness of putin's regime tiredness of course lack of economic growth it was a very broad protests. And that's what made say interesting. You know lots of people came out for the first time. And so do you think that. That broad dissent a across demographics. On a lot of first-time protesters will will make any difference to to. What the kremlin actually does. It's not going to make any difference. In the short term the kremlin has already said. It's not going to pay attention. Admittedly fiscal putin spokesman said well. We think it was a very small protests. Many more people vote for vladimir putin. That was ironic. Given that alexander was barred from the election in which people voted for vladimir putin the reason the numbers were kept down walls because of enormous intimidation campaigns parents schoolchildren were told to keep their kids at home. Students were threatened with expulsion employs. The employees they'd risk dismissal if they would join the protest et cetera et cetera. The kremlin is not going to release alexei navalny overnight but only himself and he's associates of said. This is not an immediate process. This is a long haul to re coined the famous phrase by me. He'll gorbachev in the late eighties. The process started so. Do you think that the detention of of mr navalny and the release of this video and all of those us have really changed things. Is this a turning point. They do and this change effects vladimir putin's legitimacy which is already being Waning and we. We've seen that in in the raising figures. But this film and alexander. Violence return to russia is a massive blow to putin's legitimacy and to the attitudes and perceptions of putin in the broad russian public as one commentator set to me you know two years ago people had to explain why they oppose putin today they have to justify why they support him. And how has the international community responded to to this protest mood and these protests i think so far west leaders have been watching very carefully. What's happening in russia. has been rhetorical outrage. At least both from angela merkel Sees this as a slap in her face because nobody was in germany under her protection also been marketed. Different reaction from washington. I think we will see a very different response. From biden's administration compared to trump's acquiescence to putin's action has been called for tax sanctions including from poland. A you member states the foreign ministers to discuss next steps. But i think there is also worry amongst western countries and particularly among russian neighbors and countries like the baltic states and poland that events in russia will have repercussions outside russian borders and this north unfounded fears because in two thousand fourteen two years after big protests swept russia features berg and other big cities the kremlin annexed crimea and stuff the war in ukraine in order to change the narrative and dominate political agenda so lot of russia neighbors worried that repression at home and protests against the kremlin will lead to aggression.

Between The Lines
75 years after Hiroshima, they're still feeling its impact.
"This bomb has this frank for twenty thousand tons of TNT. Harnessing, the basic power of the universe. What I fifteen I am on August six, nine, hundred, forty, five, the US Air Force dropped the little boy uranium fission bomb on central hero. Shema. Making it the first city ever to be destroyed by a nuclear bomb. On August nine Nagy became the second when the bomb exploded around thirty percent of Hiroshima's population that were killed instantly many more died in the months and years to come. Now, the bombs brought to an end to world war two but the wool was horrified at the human cost. Russia has since become a byword for nuclear holocaust forever linked to the words never again. Now, this week marks the seventy fifth anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki joining me to reflect on the legacy of those events. Tashi. Tauch. She is assistant professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and the author of political fallout, nuclear weapons testing, and the making of Global Environmental Crosses. Welcome. Tasha. Thanks for having me and Michael Gordon Professor of history at Princeton University and Co. it is a of a new book called the age of Russia. Welcome. Welcome. It's very good to be here. Now, Michael the fear of the nuclear age is the period after World War Two when the US dropped the bomb. The fee was that the nuclear weapons would become a common part of conventional warfare but in the seventy five years since he Russia and Nagasaki, there's not been a single bomb dropped in a conflict. Question is this because deterrence works or have we just been lucky I would say we've mostly been lucky It's quite rare that there are conflicts between nuclear-armed nations. The major example is the nineteen sixty, nine border conflict between the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union. So there haven't been many occasions for things to escalate, and there's a strong incentive in those cases to de-escalate. There have however been very close near accidents whether missile just that needing on its own or people launching almost launching in fear of an attack and there. Have Been Plenty of conventional wars that could have escalated that way. So by and large, we've been lucky but we've been abetted by the fact that there has been an ambient taboo that has grown over the years against nuclear first use although that is rarely the policy of any nuclear power. Okay. Now from an Australian perspective, Tic- Japan was seen as an aggressor in the war, the war crimes but also as a victim because of the destruction wrought by the nuclear bombs have is the wool remit in Japan now aggressor and victim. Tarshi. Many pass through consider themselves as victims thinking that Japanese were misled by the government inter- Disastrous Wall Conquest. In this view here stands at the as the ultimate symbol of Japanese victim. But today is victim narrative faces two competing accounts. One is to recognize Japan's acts of wartime aggression, including tweeting massacres, forced labor, and sexual violence. If we see hero Shimmer from this perspective, it takes on a whole different meaning not. Not as a national tragedy, but rather as international event. killed not only the Japanese residents but also many colonial subjects and allied. POW's who are present in the city at the time of the Tom Bombing. The other interpretation that has also gained for Japan is to see the wartime conduct Japan as an act of self defense. This This lesion is narrative recaps here. As the ultimate proof of Western aggression. So fitting the predation of Japan's Joel Roles as. Aggressor and victim during the war will gain the upper hand in the future will depend on how sweet society around the world comes together and develops a shared understanding of the complex legacies or Corna reason on the war in the Asia Pacific region and back to the United States markle. There's a popular conception that Washington had to drop the bomb that it was the only way. To win the war, of course, the war in Europe come to an end in May of forty five. This is early August two, forty five is that true I mean what? What President Truman's options? So. This is a great question and it's one with a lot of confusion around it. Functionally. The only way the only government that had any power to end the war was the Japanese government which was in a position to surrender and the question was when would that happen would have happened later or earlier by summer nineteen, forty, five, it was already clear that the war was militarily lost. President Truman and the US government in general had basically fixed options of what they could do to try and encourage the Japanese government to take that move. There's only two that people usually talk about dropping the atomic bomb or invading the home islands of Japan. Both of those were on the table also having the Soviet Union inducing them to enter the wars of belligerent which happened on August eighth increasing the intensity of firebombing tightening the blockade of foodstuffs into the home islands. and modifying the terms of unconditional surrender to allow Japan to keep the emperor. The interesting thing is all six of those happen Truman pursued all sex and the war ended. It's unclear which ones were determinative. But the point is there wasn't like we had one option or nothing else. The US had plenty of options and exercised actually all of them. On the one level target for the bombs was obviously Japan on another level. Real target was the Soviet Union. How did the Kremlin of you? He Russia Mirror Negga? Second Markle. So. Really, the question here is a small set of people within the Kremlin stolen and his closest advisers and you that there was an atomic bomb project going on in the United States for years they've found that out from spies from Britain from spies in the United States, and they had their own uranium enrichment and bomb development program that was going on at I would say a medium scale What happens after the destruction of Hiroshima is I in absented himself for a few days he went into a depression and didn't. React to any of his advisors and then immediately massively escalated the Soviet development of their own atomic bomb. So they were both caught by surprise and not caught by surprise. It's true that the Americans didn't always think about the Soviet Union as a factor in any decision related to how the war was going to end but they also very strongly, we understood that the key issue was trying to get this the Japanese government to surrender faster because the faster they surrendered the less impact. The Soviet entry in the war would have to how the end game would play out in Asia, my guest, Michael Gordon, and Tashi Hitachi, and we're reflecting on the seventy fifth anniversary of Hiroshima. Tashi. One, hundred fifty thousand atomic bomb survivors still living in Japan. In fact, as a guest of Japan's Ministry of Foreign. Affairs this would have been in September twenty, sixteen I met one of one of the survivors now they're all in education and public law has plied an important part in shaping Japan's post-war Pacifism. Now, as generation dies out, is the role of pessimism in Japanese politics is that diminishing especially in the face of Rausing China Toshi? I don't think the passing of the atomic bomb survivors will diminish the strengths of pacifism in any short-term. The correctly memory of human magazine Japan has been fairly robust and the taken deep roots in popular culture. I can think of a good example that is Japanese animated wartime drama film released just four years ago in two thousand, sixteen cold in this corner of the world. This picture accounts of the wartime life in here she was a smash hit in the box office. Be, atomic bomb survivors will also active in passing down lessons from the world's first nuclear war to the next generation. The city's over here streaming nagy training. Many Japanese Ron Tears as storytellers who share the testimonies are waging victims and a second generation survivors are spearheading efforts for peace unjustice. Well, that brings me to today and really in the last that he is the end of the call was thirty years ago the US. And the Soviets on Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty non stop this was President Bush senior and Gorbachev in Russia in the inside at Union. Then just as it was collapsing now, both agree to significantly reduce their nuclear stockpiles and of course, the updated treaty between Moscow and Washington that expose I. Think it's February Knicks Jeez. So that's just a few days after the next president is warning Michael Do you think it will be resigned. I think that's entirely dependent on the results of the election. Joe. Biden has indicated that he would refine the treaty The trump administration has had many opportunities to re-sign the treaty, but they have not taken advantage of those opportunities yet.

Tear Down This Wall: Tipping Points
"This first episode of a four part series marking the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. We examine the conventional wisdom that the I cracks in it appeared a long way away in a ruinous war in Afghanistan malfunctioning nuclear plant in Ukraine. This is the foreign desk. It's partially about the Aghanistan. But it's partially more about the kind of discussions people are having about institutions inside which you weren't supposed to look so the military leterrier was one of those. The military was sacred military defeated the Nazis. The military was the defender of the Soviet order. And suddenly you have very public discussions about that was a little risque at the extensive research. Shaw it was a bizarre situation where Cold War was still going on and foreign governments the governments of the NATO countries that were warning me and people around me on how I should behave and protect ourselves in our own Goldman and I saw somebody. Reading is best German newspaper bid side and I said to my at my partner into Cau- aw look somebody reading side and it was really something extraordinary and immediately drove to British and really really it has become commonplace to compare the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan John in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine to the United States long misadventure in Vietnam which had only ended for years beforehand. Both was exacted. A terrible ribble cost in lives and money abroad both undermined faith in government at home and both ended in humiliation but was the confrontation between the Red Army and Afghan Mujahideen armed with American weapons really as is often suggested the climactic battle of the Cold War. This was Leonard. Leonard Brezhnev's Soviet leader at the time when invading Afghanistan still seemed like a good idea. Would the party today strongly tastes the following principle fully words. I'm evaluates the unfolding situation and in consultation with the government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan Ghanistan the Soviet leadership taken the following decision which I am officially announcing today. Kalinowski is a professor first of Eastern European studies at the University of Amsterdam and the author of along good by the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. Tamie picks up the story story in March nineteen seventy-nine there's an uprising in the city of Herat and the Afghanistan's socialist who are in power. Ask them to intervene. Intervene and the and the Soviets think about it and basically say no and if you look at why they say no. It's quite interesting. Because they are quite aware that it's GonNa make relations with the West more difficult it's GonNa make relations with the Soviet Union's allies in the developing world problematic. They're worried about as they put having to fight the Afghan population and so on so they actually reject the idea march. I think what happens. By December is that they lose hope of the the government in Kabul actually being able to control the situation without Soviet help the fact that the communists are sort of killing each other but I think what really worries them is that a CIA can take advantage of the broad background to that of course is they're looking at deteriorating relations relations with the US already they're looking at the revolution in Iran. They're thinking okay you know. The Americans are getting beaten in Iran. They're going to try to look for a way to compensate. They're they're going to do that in Afghanistan so basically I think what happens by December nineteen seventy-nine as they think they have no other choice unlike the US in Vietnam the USA in Afghanistan was not troubled by a free press asking questions but not even the USSR could hide everything forever. We've had this justification for the the last six seven years about why we're in there. We can't just pull out right. We have to explain to people buyer pulling out now. Was it doing damage to the Soviets. Sure they were losing people will and they were spending money on it. But proportional to how large the Soviet military is and the kind of resources that it's used to spending. It's actually fairly small. I I think the bigger issue for Gorbachev one is that it's not improving especially by nineteen eighty six eighty seven. He's convinced that it's not going to get better and to is that. He sees that is an obstacle to better relations with other countries with countries in the Middle East and awesome first and foremost of course the United States. And that's as big a

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall
"Reagan today a tribute to the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall it's on a site overlooking the location where president Reagan delivered his legendary speech imploring Mister Gorbachev tear down this wall well that was quite a memory anyway we have our Westwood One news correspondent jazz Henry standing by live in Berlin this morning so jazz good morning to you are actually good afternoon to you or early it's about it's about mid day right now and that was nineteen eighty seven the president Reagan made that speech at the Brandenburg gate two years later not necessarily a direct cause and effect a correlation but two years later the walking down we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of that to your tomorrow so it would that was a big big celebration the whole world celebrated with the with the German people when that happened but you know then they came to review the reality of reuniting east and West Germany and integrating them into the society of Europe so she was very celebratory van what's it like now sh well people are still happy particularly those who were alive at the time they can contrast what East Germany was like at the time and what it's like now but there a lot of people been born since then and some of them living in the eastern parts of Germany I feel that still yet today the economy is not as vibrant in that part of the country job opportunities perhaps educational opportunities don't match what's that exists in the west some people in the government here are admitting that there were some mistakes made when that they actually unified the east was just sort of brought into the western constitution there's some other things that might have been done differently but say it's hard to completely second gas because compared to many countries around the world be Germany has in you know what might seem a long time were short time depending on your view thirty years brought about quite to impress the reunification so are we listen to your montage that you made for us just a couple of minutes ago and at the end the woman was saying that the people in the east still don't feel I guess equal economically you know to the west is did you find that I've talked to some of people living in the eastern part of the country who formerly lived under the the old government and of course they say you know life is better now that we can travel you know we're not so contained and there's not be a network but foreman's that's one has to worry about the Stasi security service keeping an eye on everyone but they said that in the old west and East Germany there was sort of a collective mindset and neighborhood mindset that it was sort of grew from the better aspects of the communist ideal of people helping each other they say when they became in essence taken over by the west that said you know the capitalist system of every person out for themselves doggy dog what was hard to get used to and a lot of people particularly were sort of mid career at that time had a hard time making the jump of the sort that angle Americal has made a force you she's been chancellor here for fourteen years originally an east German but she's really more the exception than the rule in how well easterners have done but there are signs that slowly the economy salaries and such in the east are improving to up Terry T. with the west but that's still not the case chancellor Merkel of course open wide the the doors of Germany to refugees and a lot of them ended up in Berlin and we have young people the young workers coming from all across Europe in into Berlin so what are the company's able to hire them well they they into at both related and many of them into the eastern part of Germany someone in the in the western parts but she needs to Germany because of the period under communism they didn't become as multicultural as West Germany did West Germany brought in the guest workers from Turkey for instance in the nineteen seventies and so in the east there are people who are feeling you know I should be paid more for the work that I do there should be better opportunities and look there these people who don't look like me being brought into our city to be settled yeah they're probably going to compete for the same jobs and that's led to some dissatisfaction three mentioned the the unveiling or the showing of the statue of Ronald Reagan today what other kinds of celebrations are being planned well there's a big party is scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Brandenburg gate course the Brandenburg gate is where president Kennedy spoke in nineteen sixty three or call each bin ein Berliner speech president Reagan as we mentioned in nineteen eighty seven it's been the center of the city sense the eighteen hundreds of sort of ceremonial center so there will be a big concert there now there's some possibility it might be raining so that I could have it have an impact but as you can imagine that since this is Germany there'll be classical music and this is the evening wears on there will be a lot of like trying to dance music but if everyone were looking to see what sort of crowd might come out for that tree even putting the weather aside but I'm guessing it's probably a larger major going to be an older crowd people who remember the it's just the amazement of what happened November ninth nineteen eighty nine so we still have a lot of American troops in Germany and course all around Europe but in in Germany so are they are they showing up for either out in the streets for this I'm not seen any so far interestingly I was at a government events government sponsored event last night and the culture minister of Germany made up points to talk about how appreciative Germany in particular Germans of of her age work for the American support immediately after the wall fell and it came as a surprise to many people what happened afterward it might have been something short of reunification she said she was saying that they could be some sort of confederation or alliance but she said that president George H. W. bush was

Book alleges Trump called for shooting immigrants at border
"I was fascinated with this story story of president trump apparently at a meeting now this is according to the hill and the New York Times New New York Times reported this and the hill included it in in on their website as well but president trump suggested having being illegal immigrants shot in their legs during the March meeting with the White House advisers in the Oval Office. Supposedly the The Times report is based on interviews with more than a dozen White House administration officials involved in that week of meetings and apparently this stuff is going to be in some new book called from Michael Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis border wars inside trump's assault on immigration. It comes out on the eighth so next week. It doesn't sound Bassett. All know doesn't doesn't border wars inside trump's assault bolt on immigration assault. Yeah maybe on immigration not illegal immigration mind you so the AIDS told the The Times that trump's suggested to advisers during the Oval Office meeting we should do is we. We should shoot him in the leg to slow amount. Don't I know it's true but it sounds like him doesn't not I I could hear him say like just shoot him. In the leg is what I mean. Yeah just shoot him in the leg would not slow him down. Why can't we we do that. Officials who spoke to the Times also recalled know what's next that often suggested suggested we fortify the border wall with essentially a moat. Oh stocked with snakes and alligators uh-huh. I mean we just we dig. A water filled trench. We'll put some alligators snakes it then if they cross they get eating and and if this is shocking to you to hear me overton window here. It's not like he said. Let's put out there at the border right here and say right land mines or anything like that. He's just saying it's it's very medieval. I mean I don't know if this note. We don't know if this I really would. He said a lot of people are saying he did and it does kind of sound like I'm sure and a moat might be pretty I might a what a front it's been suggested jokingly oh kingly by many sure probably including us but he also apparently wanted the wall electrified with spikes spikes on top pierce human flesh. Maybe oh my bad you. We read the story would advisers told trump. Some of his suggestions were illegal. He got pissed. You're making me look like an idiot. I ran on this. It's my the issue well so there you go some some interesting ideas on how to get a hold of get some control at the border shoot him in the leg. Okay create a moat and fill it with alligators K. or just a liquid electrify the wall and put spikes that compares human flesh at the top of them. That'd be harder party to get over the top. Okay you know it's past ask Democratic Congress. He says that the make sure the fence. This electrified fence is powered by green energy right and then. Maybe they'll be on board. Lord and everybody's happy sounds like a fun read though yeah does it does fun. I don't know I'm not totally on board with it right but again. It's a concept yes. It's a it's a starting place. We haven't Seen No. We're not going to get the mode with the alligators electrified fence and the spikes go through human flesh. Here's an idea though let's do something that's the table. Let's at least put the wall up. Maybe that's what he was doing. These meetings is overton window in them and say okay. We won't all right. We won't shoot him in the threaten this plan lend maybe maybe actually just get a wall fund the wall and we won't have to shoot him in the leg now. You don't fund the wall where to shoot them in the late. Yeah that's right. That's you got three. We days come up with a different plan or we're going forward with the shoot. 'em. At least at least make him think that right. I'm in favor of him doing that. Reagan did the Gorbachev Right. Yep Do that to the wall. We got this star wars system and we can shoot down all all of your missiles so you might as well not even fire a mattis you might as well not even deploy him anymore.
