A highlight from Holesky Testnet Goes Live
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup. Here's your latest for Thursday, September 28th, 2023. Ethereum developers successfully launch the Holsky Testnet, Python Network releases a 2 .0 whitepaper, Espresso Systems and Caldera launch Vienna, and VanEck prepares to launch its ETH ETF. All this and more starts right now. The Arbitrum on Gitcoin Grants Round is now live. If you'd like to support this podcast, please consider donating by visiting ethdaily .io forward slash gitcoin. Ethereum core developers successfully launched the Holsky Testnet, a proof -of -stake testnet set to replace Squirrely. The testnet achieved finality after the 10 initial epochs. Holsky was deployed with an active validator set of 1 .4 million validators and a testnet ETH supply of 1 .6 billion at Genesys. Holsky operates on Chain ID 17000. Holsky allows anyone to join as a public validator. The initial infrastructure includes a faucet from Quicknode alongside support on the Etherscan and Beacon Chain block explorers and an RPC endpoint from ethpandaops .io. Developers can use the testnet for staking and protocol development tests. Ethereum testnets usually have a five -year lifespan. The Pythe Data Association released the Pythe Network Whitepaper 2 .0, a paper that outlines a new cross -chain model for price delivery. The paper introduces a pull oracle architecture, the PytheNet appchain for price aggregation, and describes how update fees, rewards, and governance responsibilities will be managed. The whitepaper serves as a guide for transitioning Pythe Network's implementation and status into a permissionless stage. It aims to create a self -sustaining network, attract high -quality data publishers, and compensate them with consumer -generated fees. Pythe Network provides off -chain price feed oracles with data input from participants such as exchanges and market makers. Espresso Systems and Caldera co -deployed Vienna Network, an OP -stack chain integrated with the Espresso Sequencer. The new rollup was deployed on Espresso Systems' Cortado Testnet and is publicly available for all users on the testnet's public homepage. The release also includes a bridge UI, a testnet faucet, and a block explorer. The Cortado Testnet provides fast pre -conformations and allows users to submit transactions for both the OP -stack and Polygon -ZkEVM chains. Cortado also features a catch -up mechanism. Espresso Systems plans to integrate verifiable information dispersal and a peer -to -peer fallback network in a future release. And lastly, VanEck announced plans to launch the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF, coined as eFute. Rather than investing directly in ETH, eFute will invest in cash -settled ETH futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. eFute itself will be listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The ETF is structured as a C -corp targeting long -term investors. The price of ETH rallied above $1 ,650 amid the ETF news and successful Holsky testnet launch. In other news, Optimism initiates the process of forming a security council, OP Labs outlines its dispute game design for the OP stack, and Coinbase receives regulatory approval for perpetual futures.

"He's no longer speaker of the house, but Kevin McCarthy says he still will have a role to He play in became Congress today the first speaker to be removed from the leadership role by his fellow House members. I do not regret negotiating. Our government is designed to find compromise. I don't regret My efforts to build coalitions and find solutions. I was raised to solve problems The most The most important trait that we find in the next speaker is trustworthiness and we have lacked that sorely. They are angry that McCarthy worked with Democrats to avert a government shutdown and claim that he negotiated aid to Ukraine for a later bill National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says McCarthy was right to do that a lapse in support for even a short period of time could make all the difference on the battlefield Just as critically such a lapse in support will make Putin believe that he can out he can wait us out a Mexican drug cartel has reportedly prohibited the sale and production of fentanyl in Mexico Banners began appearing in the northern Mexico state of Sinaloa on Monday signed by a faction of the Sinaloa cartel run by the sons of the infamous drug lord Joaquin El Chapo Guzman the banners are claiming the The cartel is now prohibiting the sale and production of fentanyl, the banners saying you have been warned.

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust. Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now is one of the most important investigative journalists in America. John Solomon from Just the News who also has a new shout on Real America's Voice every evening. You guys should check it out. John thank you for joining us. John walk us through the State Department emails, the memos that you've obtained and how that relates to Victor Shokin being back in the news cycle. Yeah I first interviewed Victor Shokin in the fall of 2019 and he said exactly to me what he said to Fox News last week and what is remarkable with that he's been incredibly consistent. Who's not been consistent? Joe Biden because Joe Biden has told us lots of things that have been unraveled to be untrue and some of them are big ones right. My family never got money from China. Yes it did. In fact Hunter Biden was going to plead guilty to like three, four, five, six million dollars in two years from China and not paying taxes on it. The laptop was disinformation. No it actually was a real laptop. I never talked to my son or his business partners about their business. Yes he did. He met with them at dinners, dialed into phone calls. The litany of falsehoods goes on and on but one of the enduring statements that Joe Biden has stuck to actually sustained all the way through the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump and everything since the elections and even until this year. In fact just a few weeks ago he and the Washington Post and others were continuing to utter this line was yes I did fire. I did force the firing of that Ukraine prosecutor. I did meddle in Ukraine's internal politics and yes that prosecutor was investigating my son's company Victor Shokin but I had that my decision to get rid of him had nothing to by career officials. So given his record I went out to try to find the documents to see if that was true. It turns out there was a task force. This task force was made up of career justice treasury and state department officials and the national security council and together they made a recommendation in fall 2015 that Joe Biden shouldn't withhold the billion dollars. He should give the billion dollar loan guarantee because Victor Shokin was making adequate progress on an anti -corruption reform agenda. In fact the state department sent a wonderful letter to Shokin saying you're doing a good job that came from Victoria Nuland the top state department official for Ukraine affairs. So Joe Biden wasn't carrying out policy he changed the policy and it just so happened he changed the policy in a way that met his son's problem. His son as we know from his business partner Devin Archer was being pressured to deal with Shokin to slow down or stop the investigation. Well Joe Biden effectively did that when he fired the prosecutor by withholding a billion dollars he was told by career officials he should give to Ukraine. Pretty extraordinary unraveling of a story that Adam Schiff and all the impeachment managers and Joe Biden and the Washington Post fact checker and others imposed on the American people for four years. So John connect this also with this fake email account that Joe Biden also had Robert Peters and so what's what's strange about this is that he had a fake email address and it was at PCI .gov and so right it's a fake email but it's also a government email and multiple email addresses burner phones this Biden crime family actually might be more sophisticated than we ever gave them credit for. Yeah listen I think when you hear James Comer and Jim Jordan talk now that's the point they make and I think you just made it very effectively why do you need a burner phone why do you need three fake email addresses Robinware, JRWware and Robert L Peters if you're doing everything above board why are you forwarding things from your private account that are government official documents to your son what are those I first discovered these accounts in 2021 it's my lawsuit or it's my FOIA that led to the lawsuit yesterday and the discovery that there are now 5400 emails on these private accounts that are in the possession of the national archives the archives won't release that information why they had no problem releasing Donald Trump's information right but I what's interesting about this is in the few episodes that we've been able to find emails from these accounts what is Joe Biden doing he's forwarding sensitive government information from his government account his private account his private account to his foreign business pursuing son Hunter Biden I'll give you two examples one is in may of 16 just a few months after Joe Biden succeeded in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired he has a call set up with the Ukrainian president who he pressured Petro Poroshenko that call and the scheduling of that call is sent to his son Hunter Biden who just happens to have an interest in what Petro Poroshenko did and in the country of Ukraine as he's working for Brisbane earlier there is a an embassy cable that comes out of Turkey Istanbul that tells the vice president there's about to be a secret release of a U .S. hostage a U .S. prisoner in Turkey who had long been held this is non -public information it's a sensitive moment letting this get out because Turkey may or may not do it right it's a it's a tender dry moment they want to be careful and what does Joe Biden do he forwards that information to his private account and then he sends it to his son again non -public government information has a little bit of the rings of Hillary Clinton and her private email server obviously there's some differences but Joe Biden has a Hillary Clinton problem he also has a problem with falsehoods and with clearly now getting his job by lying to the American people his last job interview during the debates all false information so so here's what doesn't make dot gov email address that's not a federal government email address that's a state of Pennsylvania email address that if you type in and it goes to like the Pennsylvania department of corrections so why does he have a Pennsylvania email address who made it for him and secondly the bear the buried lead here is that from an eeop eop ovp which means executive office the vice president the staffers obviously knew that this was the communique channel so who made a Pennsylvania based email address for a sitting vice president yeah we don't know the answer or whether that's an alias that refers to yet another account but it is clear that government officials were corresponding with it and then that account would forward at some time that and other accounts like it because there's three accounts that we identified they then get forwarded to another account so there's a lot of questions here sometimes an email address can look like something and it can be forwarding to another one we don't know the answer but the pattern is concerning why lie why have a burner phone why have uh multiple email accounts that you're doing government business on when you're trained when you first come into office you shouldn't do that uh there's something untoward and we don't know the full extent of it yet but Joe Biden's one thing we do know the story Joe Biden gave the American people during impeachment and since to get his job as president doesn't add up the fact contradicting conflict with what he's told us that's a big problem for a president heading into reelection with an already low popularity rating because of the fact that he's got a bad inflation uh bad inflationary economy uh has had major missteps on the world stage like the Afghanistan withdrawal an unpopular president with now the smell of corruption around him yeah it's very strange if you type in pci .gov then it goes to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections I mean so Joe Biden's not technically savvy enough to make his own email address so somebody made him an email anyway so if anyone out in the universe knows the story of why Joe Biden would have that he never was a senator from Pennsylvania he was a senator from Delaware he grew up in Scranton and so the private email he had was a government email address for Pennsylvania somebody has to answer for that okay so but despite all this John I want to play this piece of tape it's infuriating I think the evidence is overwhelming it's not a hard tough call let's start impeachment proceedings but Republican Don Bacon says nah I'm not convinced play cut 51.

A highlight from KZG Ceremony Ends With 141k Contributions
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup, here's your latest for Thursday, August 24th, 2023. Ethereum's KZG ceremony officially comes to an end based on Veel's details about forming the superchain, Coinbase releases neutrality principles, and Lodestar concludes its incentive program. All this and more starts right now. Gitcoin Grants 18 is now live. If you'd like to support this podcast, please consider donating to our grant by visiting ethdaily .io forward slash gitcoin. Ethereum's KZG ceremony has officially ended with 141 ,416 total contributions from users around the world. The KZG ceremony is a process that collects entropy from contributors to be used in a commitment scheme for EIP -4844. Close to 10 ,000 users verified their contribution via GitHub, while the remaining 132 ,000 used sign -in with Ethereum. Most users needed to meet a minimum nonce requirement of at least 8 transactions in order to participate. The final output generated from the ceremony will be implemented in proto -densharding EIP -4844 which is set to go live in the Dankoon upgrade later this year. Proto -densharding will enable lower transaction fees for rollups. BASE, an OP stack chain by Coinbase, unveiled details about its commitment to joining the superchain. Currently, BASE executes upgrades using a 2 -of -2 multisig managed by both BASE and the Optimism Foundation. In collaboration with Optimism, BASE will help establish a formal security council responsible for controlling upgrade keys for OP stack chains on the superchain. The security council will comprise independent community members from various geographic locations and is anticipated to launch in early 2024. BASE has also committed to contributing either 2 .5 % of its total sequencer revenue or 15 % of its net on -chain sequencer profit to support public goods on the platform. The Optimism Foundation also extended a grant to BASE, allowing it to earn 2 .75 % of the OP token supply within the next six years. BASE intends to use the allocation to actively engage in Optimism governance as a delegate. BASE is also working to advance technical decentralization and will help scale OP -Keth and OP -Node clients. Coinbase released a series of five neutrality principles to emphasize its commitment to decentralization for BASE. The principles include adherence to the law of chains, full user ownership, transaction neutrality, data integrity, and the freedom to exit. Coinbase seeks to provide users with neutral and open access to BASE block space. Coinbase also stated it will not influence transaction order flow on BASE and will honor transactions by receipt time and gas fees. Coinbase also says users are able to withdraw assets from BASE without limitations or penalties. The principles aim to guide BASE from a centralized product into a decentralized and permissionless network. And lastly, a solo staker incentive program designed for solo stakers to use the Lodestar client has concluded. The program ran from March 23rd to August 23rd and allocated a total of $25 ,000 in prizes to solo stakers who entered the word Lodestar in their validator graffiti tag. Chainsafe, which helped manage the program, is now assessing proposals made by validators to filter out staking entities and gather proposals that meet the program's eligibility criteria.

Nikki Haley Weighs in on the Plight of the Uyghurs
"Be accused rightly of asking a gotcha question if I ask people what are the Chinese up to in Zambia? But when I asked mayor Suarez about the Uighurs and he didn't know what any sign mispronounced it and I didn't I'd stop beating up On him if he stopped blaming me for the question you on the other hand Discuss the Uighurs at great length and I would love for people to hear what the Chinese ambassador told you about it For your listeners that don't know the Uighurs, you know there are a million over a million now Muslim Uighurs that are in what I call concentration camps in In China and basically the Chinese they make them change their name change their religion Sexual genocide abuse which we swore never again would we look away from genocide? It's happening right now in China and and the reason no one says anything about it It's because they're too scared of China and that's the problem But the Uighurs had been mistreated for for many years when I was at the United Nations I I not noticed what was happening. And so when we were having some sort of hearing on human rights I actually called out China on what they were doing with the Uighurs and At a an event where all of the Security Council was there the Chinese ambassador asked me if I would Step away for a bit and talk to him and I did and he said I know you mentioned those people Today and I said what people and he said those people That we have in China and I said you mean the Uighurs? He said yes, and he said you don't understand the situation and I said, well, please tell me He said they are bad people and I said, what do you mean?

North Korea spy satellite launch fails as rocket falls into the sea
"North Korea fails to launch its first spy satellite into space. In parts of South Korea and Japan, residents took shelter after North Korea launched a rocket, which later crashed into the sea. Admitting failure is a setback to leader Kim Jong-un's push to boost military capability amid tension with the U.S. and South Korea, but North Korea is now promising to look into what went wrong and try a second launch soon. Any North Korean satellite launch is a violation of UN Security Council resolutions that ban the country from launches that use ballistic technology. I'm Mimi Montgomery

Debt ceiling: McCarthy says 'no progress' ahead of talks Tuesday with Biden
"House speaker Kevin McCarthy says there's been no progress on debt ceiling talks before another meeting tomorrow with President Biden and other congressional leaders. White House and congressional staffers met through the weekend and while President Biden yesterday refused to say how they're doing. It never is good to characterize my appreciation in the middle of the negotiation. McCarthy did. There is no movement. And he's concerned since a bill to lift the debt ceiling needs to move through the House and Senate before the government reaches its borrowing limit. You've got to have something done by this weekend and we are nowhere near any of them. Time is also narrowing with the president said to depart this week for the G 7 summit in Japan. We are still planning to leave as scheduled. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, a day after the president said he thinks a deal will be struck.

White House: Russia looks to purchase more attack drones from Iran after depleting stockpile
"The White House says Russia is looking to get more advanced firepower from Iran for use in Ukraine. The National Security Council's John Kirby says Tehran's provided Moscow with more than 401 way attack drones since August. Russia has expended most of these UAVs using them to target Ukrainian critical infrastructure. And now it wants more. Russia is interested in more advanced versions of those UAVs, more capable and more lethal. The revelation is part of what the administration bills as a growing military relationship between Iran and Russia, which it says also relies on North Korea for arms. Tehran says it provided drones to Moscow before the Ukraine invasion, but not since Sagar Meghani, Washington.

Zelenskyy wants Putin trial, Russia accuses US on drones
"Russia is accusing the U.S. of being involved in a purported drone attack yesterday on the Kremlin. Moscow alleges it was a bid to assassinate Vladimir Putin, whose spokesman says, decisions on terror attacks are not made in Kyiv, but rather in Washington. Dmitri peskov says Ukraine then does what it's told to do. He offered no evidence of U.S. involvement, and at The White House. We're still trying to gather information about what happened and we just don't have conclusive evidence one way or the other. Though National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says one thing is for certain. The United States was not involved in this incident in any way contrary to mister peskov's lies. That's what they are just lies. Sagar Meghani, Washington.

US says 20,000 Russians killed in Ukraine war since December
"The White House says he now estimates Russian casualties in Ukraine have sharply gone up the past several months. Since December. We estimate that Russia has suffered more than a 100,000 casualties, including over 20,000 killed in action. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says it's stunning. It's three times the number of killed in action that the United States faced on the Guadalcanal campaign in World War II. And that was over the course of 5 months as well. In November, The Pentagon estimated Russia had suffered well over 100,000 killed or wounded in the wars first 8 months. Kirby will not publicly give an estimate for Ukrainian casualties.

Yeah, look, China views us as under the Chinese Communist Party as their primary adversary. They've been very explicit about that. If you look at an increasing amount of scholarship, including I would remark on rush doshi's book, the long game, Russia actually works for President Biden now. He's one of his directors on the National Security Council staff. If you look at that and other scholarship that looks back a few decades, again, primary source research, primary source materials that have been largely overlooked by a lot of scholars. You find that Beijing decided at the end of the Cold War to regard the united states as their chief adversary, ideological, and military and geostrategic foe. And decided that it needed to gather more strength, increase its military power and its economic power before it could really unveil its intention in regardless as their primary adversary. But now they've done that. The fig leaf has blown away. And Beijing believes that the United States poses an existential threat just by our existence. It beliefs that Taiwan as a democracy, the first successful Chinese democracy, ethnic Chinese democracy in the world, poses a mortal threat just by its existence. And it intends to wage war, including through nonviolent means economic and financial warfare using criminal proceeds, China is now the number one Chinese criminal organizations are now the number one money launderers in the world supporting, for example, the robust fentanyl trade into our borders. All of these are things that it regards as a means to eroding American power.

Xi and Zelensky Speak in First Known Contact Since Russia’s Invasion
"Of China and Ukraine have had their first known contacts since the Russian invasion more than a year ago. Vladimir zelensky described it as a long and meaningful call with Xi Jinping, which came a month after the Chinese leader visited Moscow. We think that's a good thing. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says the U.S. has been pushing Beijing to get Kyiv's views. On this illegal and unprovoked invasion by Russia. And while zelensky was upbeat after the call, Russia praised it as well, saying it shows China wants to facilitate peace.

"Valdes with an essay. Or you can get me online at rich Valdez with an S on all of the social media. Now, I want to talk about, I want to continue to discuss this Chinese balloon we just talked about this news clip from CBS News where Nora O'Donnell said there is this breaking news that came out today where the U.S. intelligence officials did in fact know and we're tracking this balloon throughout when it took off from southern China a straight across into our airspace throughout our country through the interior and up until they decided to like they say quote unquote decommission it. And I want to get to the bottom of this. We've been talking about it for a while, but we've got an expert lined up, vice chair of the center for American security at the America first policy institute, former chief of staff at the National Security Council in The White House during the Trump administration and former CIA analyst Fred flights. Welcome, sir. How good to be here? You bet. So let's talk a little bit about this, right? Because there's this news that we knew, but we didn't know. Obviously, you're the guy that knows about this stuff. Why are we just finding this stuff out? You know, it's a strange story. The new story is that the balloon launch was discovered when it left hanan island, which is near Vietnam. And somehow it made it to Alaska. I don't know if this means that it flew over Korea or Japan or as it floated out into the Pacific Ocean. I find hard to believe anything this administration are intelligence community says, because frankly, we know that they lie. And this administration is desperate to spin and to change the subject to distract from the reality that a giant Chinese spy balloon floated over the entire United States, Harvard over sensitive military facilities and Joe Biden did nothing about it until it was over the Atlantic Ocean. This is alarming to me. And I was shouting from this big microphone over here, you know, hoping somebody would listen to me and shoot this thing down and eventually I think Biden says shoot it down, then the general say, no, we're not so sure, sir. We'll wait a little while. We'll wait till it's taking all the pictures. It's got to take and do what it's got to do. Then we'll shoot it. But what do you make of that approach? Well, you know, it's strange because Biden wouldn't shoot down this obvious by the spy balloon, which is the size of three buses. And then suddenly he shoots to have three other balloons, they're not trying to call them balloons. They're calling them unidentified flying objects or something, some other similar term. But these were different there were at a lower altitude. They weren't maneuverable. They were different shapes. And they may not have been Chinese. They may have been legitimate weather balloons that are permissible under American law or international treaties. We may have shut down American spy balloons or balloons or devices that were up there that American corporations were running our Canadian corporation or Japanese corporations. It seems to me, and I've heard other experts say this, the Biden White House may have said, can you find some balloons for the president to shoot down to try to compensate for what happened with the way he misplayed the larger Chinese balloon? To make it look like he's tough on balloons. Exactly. Yeah, look, I totally buy it. It's a photo op. It's the equivalent of a photo op just in the sky. And every report coming out is that there are benign, they may be researched, they may be this. I'm thinking, if this is some benign, whatever research, something that's somehow sanctioned and the government is going to cut them in check, say, hey, my bad, we use this super expensive missile on our super expensive fighter jet to blow this thing out of the sky. It was the training exercise gone awry, my bad, blah, blah, blah. I mean, I can believe that. Because nothing would surprise me more or less, I should say. But we have a problem. I think we still have a problem with this 200 foot spy balloon that we allowed to float in our airspace note. Well, I think we now know and maybe we already knew that China has a fairly aggressive espionage program using balloons and there are quite a few of them that the Chinese have deployed worldwide we know some were sent over Central America. My guess is they've flown over or near other nations that China wants to monitor, especially countries like India and Japan. I mean, that's an issue. But I think we have to recognize that the balloon that the Chinese sent. It may not have been sent to collect anything in particular. It may have been sent to test to air defenses and to test President Biden's decision making. I think it's pretty clear he failed those tests. Yes. Well, that's clear. And how would the American people eventually find out if we're shooting down weather balloons so that Biden can take a victory lap? Well, that's what Congress has to do. Congress needs to deserve well deserves answers. I thought it was extraordinary that Jim heintz, he's the new top Democrat on the House intelligence committee because out of ship was kicked off. One of the best things that speaker McCarthy has done. Heim has complained that the administration won't tell him anything about the balloons. I think it's frightening when he's part of the gang of 8. The gang of 8 of the leaders of the Senate and the House and the chairman ranking member of the Senate and House intelligence committees. And he couldn't get answers on what's going on. Well, I mean, under the law, the administration is required to keep the gang of 8 informed of activities like this. And I think they're just trying not to brief Congress about material that's embarrassing. The Joe Biden. This is, in my opinion, it's egregious. I mean, when people feel unsafe red flights, I think it's important that we put that information out there. Now, it's clear Biden's going to do nothing. He has done nothing and if anything, he's just posturing, putting on his aviator glasses, playing Top Gun shooting down weather balloons that may not even be Chinese. So if that's the case, how do we actually defend ourselves against China if Biden's just playing dress up? Well, you know, I think actually some good will come out of this. The Biden administration has always portrayed China as a competitor. Well, no. Yeah, there is a competitor. Japan is a competitor. France is a competitive China is an adversary. It wants to displace the U.S. as a top nation on earth with violence, if necessary. And I think this incident has opened the eyes of many Americans to the threat from China. And a couple with the large number of Democrats who voted for the creation of this new House special committee on China, something Nancy Pelosi always blocked. I think that we now had realization in the American people that China is a significant security threat. And I'm hoping that will lead to some significant bipartisan action to address the threat from China. Now, China hasn't sat still though, they're saying, no, no, guess what? We're going to retaliate right over the downing of our balloon. Is this rhetoric coming from China or should we expect more? How do you take a threat like that in about a minute? I really don't take it seriously. I think the Chinese are laughing pretty hard at the way this was handled and that Joe Biden followed it up by shooting down balloons. It probably weren't Chinese. I think China succeeded in its objective in testing this president and error defenses. I think that's just empty. Rhetoric, they also claim that we've sent spy balloons over China, which I understand is absolutely false. The Chinese are engaged in an information war among other types of war and I think they're winning. Yeah, that sucks. I hate to hear that. Folks, we're on with vice chair of the center for American security at the America first policy institute, Fred flights former CIA analyst and chief of staff at the National Security Council in Trump's White House.

"Institutions. We just don't know. So what's going on right now? We had years and years where we apparently we did not detect, at least that's what spokespeople have said. We did not detect Chinese balloons flying into the United States in the United States airspace. Now we're catching all these objects and shooting them down. Is there more of a threat or are we just detecting more? And if we're detecting more Y there's two things here, one, we have been studying the Chinese Bible and program since we came into office. This is a program that they have been working on for several years. So they have ramped up their abilities. They have ramped up their deployment of these balloons over just recent years. So that is fairly fairly soon. And then because of this by balloon, we changed some of the radar parameters for our air defense capabilities, particularly over the northern part of our hemisphere and it is possible that in part because of tweaking the radar sensitivities, we are simply seeing more objects right now. What more can you tell us about the parts of the payload of the Chinese fire balloon that have been recovered? We had some good weather over the weekend, Georgia were able to bring up some parts of the debris. So many even though the structure of the payload itself, some of those include some of the electronics. I don't want to get into too much detail, but we are starting to get things up off the bottom of the ocean there and try to get it to try to get it analyzed by the FBI. As you know, the Chinese just said the U.S. has sent ten spider balloons over China. I assume the United States does spy on China. Do we send balloons? We do not deploy surveillance balloons over China. And do we spy over China? We do not deploy surveillance balloons over China, George.

"With Garfield Reynolds our chief rights correspondent stay with us for that. This is Bloomberg. Bloomberg radio on demand and in your podcast feed. On the latest sound on podcast I talked with former CIA officer Dennis wilder who served as National Security Council director for China about these new revelations of China's long running military spy program. I think frankly The Pentagon and norad are North American air defense system. We're asleep at the switch. You know, there are a lot of balloons that fly in the air and I think people just assume these were more of the regular balloons. And until recently, when they started to get suspicious of balloons over Taiwan and other areas and they started really looking hard at this, then they went back through their databases and lo and behold they found these other missions that they had not detected at the time. So this is a real failure. And it's got to be corrected. My God, absolutely. I'm afraid to hear what they learned behind closed doors, Dennis, most everything I've talked about so far is in the public domain. Right. Well, I think one of the big things and Bloomberg was the first, I think, to put this on the street that there is indications that there are probably American components, probably dual use items sent to China for private companies that have ended up in this program. And we shouldn't be surprised by that, because they've been doing it with their stealth fighter, their stealth ships, their hypersonic missiles, we have been aiding and abetting the Chinese program unknowingly for

I have a question to the two of you because you follow this much more than me. In London, big NFL push. I mean, it's all over TV and London tree. Baseball is invisible. Why is this? Because I make cricket is big. I'm seriously, it's like, you know, people follow cricket and it's like, okay, you got the batsman and cricket and it's like, I'm still trying to follow the rules. Well, the NFL and the NBA have taken a global view. They want to grow those games globally. And they're willing to spend and invest. Yes. And Major League Baseball has not. And so Major League Baseball, they struggle to have a national footprint here in the U.S.. It's much more of a local business. Therefore, they depend upon their local cable network. But at the NFL, they've been putting games over there for years now.

"Do not have any legitimacy and therefore they don't change the nature of the conflict. This remains a war of aggression by Russia against the independent sovereign nation in Europe, Ukraine. And this will further worsen the situation and therefore we need to provide more support to Ukraine. For further worse in the situation, more support for Ukraine, these are not the kind of things we want to hear at this stage of the game. 7 months in. Rick Davis, what do you think about this idea of holding votes in these areas of Ukraine? Does it make the situation more dangerous if they are, in fact, annexed Dmitri Medvedev who's now head of the deputy head of the Security Council says the annexation would be irreversible and enable Russia to use all possible force in self defense. Yeah, I think this is the threat, right? In the sense that what the NATO secretary general was just saying about how it doesn't change the battlefield. But it may actually change the battlefield. I mean, there is a sense that this is an escalation strategy by Vladimir Putin to be able to not only use a heightened level of weaponry against the people of the Ukraine because he will claim it's an attack on Russia, but he needs this for his politics at home. I mean, one of the reasons we see this happening is because he has had a counter attack at home, domestically, about the fact that the war is not going the way. He said it was going to. And both hardliners are saying, we need to do more to defeat these Ukrainians. We need to escalate while others in his own party are saying, wow, this is like not going the way we thought it was going to go. And so he's going to call our cards and say, this is now an attack on Russia. And this is something that he'll try to use in a public domain, but it's just not going to fly. The rest of the world knows this for what it is. It's just a naked grab and it's not going to be a democratic process. And so he'll be the only one talking about this as being legitimate. But at the end of the day, they also did this in Crimea years ago. And the world let him get away with it. So I'm sure he's thinking, wow, it's just what's the difference? Yeah, he's obviously used this playbook before here. I wonder how concerned you are about this Genie with the sort of climax that we've been seeing, at least in that part of Ukraine, the counter offensive that was gaining momentum. Is it time I asked Mark Esper about this? I realized there are complications that's not going to happen this week, but should Joe Biden at least be calling publicly for Russia to be kicked out of the UN Security Council. Yeah, well, we are hearing grumblings more than grumblings about that and we have for some time. And why not just put it out in the air? Yeah, well, Thomas Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas Greenfield. She has been talking about and voicing support for sensible reform to the Security Council. Some of that proposal includes increasing the number of members, obviously they don't have the support for that at this point, but we're hearing more than Isa grumbling. It's more than grumblings. We're hearing a lot more talk about that publicly than we have. And I do think that this referendum to urine Rick's point, we've seen Russia do this before with Crimea in 2014. It worked for them then we knew because the Kremlin said earlier they were going to do this. I think the fact they're doing it now is a sign of desperation is how badly things have gone for them. They can't sustain this war at home as they try to increase the number of ground troops, they need to increase that support. This is one way to do that to show they are victims they're under attack and they're defending themselves, and that's precisely what this is about call the sham or not. They go forward with this, they will use this defensive posture to justify the war at home. Yeah, well, things get more dangerous when they get desperate Rick, is this the prelude then as it's the setup by Vladimir Putin to potentially use a tactical nuclear weapon? Well, I do think that is one of the reasons why you don't hear a lot about kicking them out of the Security Council because that is one forum to try and keep their feet to the fire as a nuclear power. And more needs to be done around that. But sure. I mean, he'll claim that this is an attack by NATO with their weapons on homeland Russia. And so you can see him building the concept around this argument that he can do whatever he wants to do because he's actually having an invading force. Again, he'll be the only one in the world who believes it. I would say, too, it just kept him deeper and deeper into this hole that he's digging for himself. I mean, he already thought he could use this war to divide the world, right? And all of these people who are going to be supporters of the Americas are going to be put on the defense because we're going to go right into Kyiv and all my autocratic friends are going to be uplifted by this. That's not at all what has happened here and there's a reason you can get invited to the queen's funeral. There's a reason he didn't come to the UN General Assembly. I would not be surprised that if he goes through with this, he pulls a no show at the G 20. I mean, this guy is becoming a global pariah. He does no good for his quote allies like China who have been like perplexed by the fact that they couldn't execute on a plan. So I do worry about the limits to what he is going to be held accountable for. So why not just give him the MiGs Genie if he's going to keep escalating? What's our worry? Well, I think we're going to be pushed to do that pretty soon. And I think that is absolutely what we may

going on around the world Michael Darren Ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky will address the United Nations Security Council today It comes as the U.S. said it might impose further sanctions this week on Moscow Three Republican senators joined Democrats to force judge Jackson's Supreme Court nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee after a vote there ended in a time Kansas has won the NCAA men's basketball title by engineering the greatest second half comeback and finals history The jayhawks turned to 16 point second half deficit into a 72 69 victory over North Carolina In the NHL the bruins won in overtime against the blue jackets three two Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists analysts in more than 100 20 countries I'm Michael Barr and 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 I'm Nathan Hager Elon Musk is making waves We got word yesterday that the Tesla CEO has amassed a nearly 10% stake in Twitter and that is raising questions about the influence Musk could exert on the social media company Let's unpack this news now with Kathy wood the ark investment CEO is a big shareholder in Tesla and a big believer in Elon Musk Kathy wood sat down late yesterday for a conversation with Carol massar and Tim Steve on Bloomberg businessweek I do think for the moment it's passive but he's certainly making a statement and it's a statement about censorship He doesn't agree with censorship For as smooth functioning democracy as he has tweeted I believe And so I think he's sending a strong signal to the new CEO And I also know there's some controversy about why Jack left having to do with this new CEO So a few messages there And would you be buying either more Tesla or Twitter on the news and let's throw on Tesla also having this record first quarter is this a catalyst to buy more of these shares in your view On Tesla we post our trades at the end of every day So many will know that we have it is the largest position in our flagship portfolio and in most portfolios where we hold it But we have been selling recently because of how well it has done relative to the rest of the stocks in our portfolio So it has levitated relative And so it's been a good source of cash We've taken profits And redeployed them into other stocks that we thought were being unfairly penalized here And I think one of the reasons for that is Tesla is in the indexes the broad based and most of our other stocks are not And that's a big problem out there in terms of the way capital is being allocated these days in the public equity markets Kathy how much would Tesla have to fall for you to start buying again Well even now we're going to put out another model on GitHub in I'm going to say within a week our last one is from about a year ago and you'll see from that model that our price expectation at that time was $3000 So there's still a lot of running room ahead for Tesla But relative to the other names in our portfolio even though that's a trip or nearly a triple Other names in our portfolio we believe will deliver much more than that over the next 5 years because they have been hit so hard They're not an indexes and so when there are risk off periods traditional investors really diversify and sell our stocks as they move closer to their benchmarks the benchmarks against which they are measured So it's a great buying opportunity for us I will say I can't believe how long that buying opportunity lasts for February of a year ago to a few weeks ago But we think the concentration of our portfolios towards our highest conviction names will pay off As for Twitter I think there are some investors relieved that someone is willing to speak up and say hey you're going to ruin this platform If you continue to censor it in somewhat random ways so I think that's good I will say this could be setting up for another leadership change at Twitter You never know And so that will bring with it perhaps some uncertainty uncertainty and dislocation So especially as a relates to advertisers So we shall see So Kathy uncertainty potentially at Twitter a potential leadership change who are the names that you would like to see lead Twitter who could do a great job in your opinion Oh I am not going to speculate on that And to be honest we haven't thought about it that carefully There are names flying around but I wouldn't want to throw out anything there unless unless we felt very strongly so we will wait to see whose names are put forth But whoever is put forth And I'm not jumping to this conclusion automatically I'm saying it's one of many possibilities It'll either be our girl changing the policy of the company to really open-source the censorship or tall people out on censorship Or it will be a management change I don't know what's going to happen At all And I was our investment CEO.

"As the permanent secretary at the foreign and Commonwealth office also the head of the UK's diplomatic service as the UK senior diplomat therefore he ran the global network of British embassies and was also on the National Security Council He is cofounder and managing partner at Flint Good morning thank you for being with us Good morning This is a very difficult moment as President Biden says a dangerous moment for all of Europe Nothing seems to be stopping Vladimir Putin though the fall of Kyiv looks imminent Well it is indeed a very dangerous moment It is basically the rewriting of the security system that we've known in Europe since the end of the Cold War By unilaterally by Vladimir Putin a dictator in Russia who is setting out on this course of action we don't know what his objective is but it does look as if his intention is to take Kyiv topple the government install some sort of puppet government the interesting question after that is does he have further ambitions in terms of the occupation of the whole of the country Will he withdraw a little bit of what will the settlement be But either way the long-term issue is there can be no acceptance of this on the part of other countries in Europe and the United States So this is a structural standoff that he's establishing which is going to have very long-lasting consequences Okay what does that mean Does it mean arming the country's around Ukraine Surely there's no idea of an actual conflict between NATO and Russia Well first of all it means imposing and maintaining very strong sanctions as we've been discussing both economic political diplomatic and others Secondly it does mean looking at how you support the Ukrainian opposition which will continue and the extent to which you can effectively do that And thirdly it does also mean looking very closely at the security of other countries in the region there's no reason necessarily to expect that Putin will stop with Ukraine What is his longer term ambition And in particular we are going to have to look at the deployment of forces in NATO members the Baltic states and others who are rightly very concerned about the implications of this for their future security So these are big long-term questions that the west collectively needs to address in a more effective way than we've been working together in recent years What impact will the sanctions have short and medium term Are they really enough Banks targeted yes but not the energy market for example not swift So there are still other measures that could be taken How would you describe the level of sanction now follow us I think the initial sanctions packages earlier this week were certainly the British one was under shop considerably but I do think in the last shot is quite generous I said undershot considerably but the point is in the last 24 hours I think the coordination has been better The packages are more impressive and effective but they're not going to stop Putin doing what he decided to do So what is the object of the objective is to impose a price on that a long-term price on Russia for the consequences of this action and to deter future action And I think you will see further ramping up of these measures over time as you say there are one or two headline things like swift which remain still to be discussed But overall significant progress has been made in the last day or so Okay even if there is effective goal coordination now for the UK in particular it's been decades that the UK has had very lax rules around investing in Britain Has welcomed Russian oligarchs You know has been London dubbed London grad we all know the quotes Nothing was done for years and now in the space of a week we've gone on to kind of war footing rhetoric at least by the prime minister I mean that's shocking Well I agree with you that people have the minute you lay your eyes.

"Of course personalities and persons as well So I do think that we need to look at it at the full range I mean I know a lot of people say oh why is the west not reacting Why well the only real instrument bar of course full scale combat is sanctions And that's why it's very important to get the sanctions right But I should point out that Russia of course keep saying it has no plans to invade Ukraine You say Alexander that you think that this is an invasion where we are right now President Putin says he's not talking about annexing these two territories But at the same time he talked about the former Soviet neighbors being created by Bolsheviks and therefore don't deserve to be considered as independent states When we hear comments like that from the Russian president how far do you think Russia's ambitions go Well this is what worries me because I've had the opportunity to meet Putin a few times And obviously you know sharing 1300 kilometers of border and being in governments for 8 years You start and you of course follow and analyze things Russian Yesterday's speech was the first time when I sort of detected that he sounded quite irrational It was a very rambling speech I mean we knew ever since say 2003 but certainly is Munich Security Council speech 2007 that he wants to create a historic Russia Historic Russia for him basically means one language one religion and one leader And geographically it also means Belarus and Ukraine And if we go all the way back to the 1800s then other regions come into play He has superpowers Soviet Union nostalgia And this is what worries me so much And one of the things that we're not talking about is that you could to a certain extent say that Belarus is now gone as well Which Lukashenko has basically become a puppet of the Russian regime So you know he's doing his sphere of interest and power politics there So I do think we should be worried And we have to understand that this is a serious situation This is not a high power body Okay given everything you've said about your learnings your shared body your experience with Russia Alexander really informative But knowing full well the way that Europe works and European dependence in some cases for energy from Russia How far would you expect European sanctions to go at this point I think we're going to see a step by step approach So we will see first of all the good news here is that I think Europe is much better prepared than what it was with Georgia or what it was actually with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula So there is a long list and as in every situation conversations have been ongoing and now they will start a step by step approach And of course the reports that we will be getting is that oh you know country X was walking this country and said we're blocking that But I think at the end of the day these sanctions are going to be much harder than what we saw in the Georgian case and also much harder than what we saw with the Crimean case But the details will just have to see but they have to be coordinated with the Americans So that was Alexander stubb who is the former prime minister for Finland currently director and professor at the school of transnational governance at bob who is the former prime minister for Finland currently director and professor at the school of transnational governance there So really fascinating interview He's insights on Russia what he thinks Vladimir Putin wants out of the crisis with Ukraine Coming up next on plug daybreak Europe I'll be talking about the global markets this morning Yes we are a focus on Ukraine but also on inflation what the energy price jump will mean there and the.

"Global news update President Biden will convene a meeting of the National Security Council on the situation in Ukraine Sunday That's according to a written statement put out by The White House Saturday Press secretary Jen Psaki said the president is being briefed regularly about events on the ground overseas by his national security team Thank goodness you'll get your guacamole in time for this three day holiday weekend Lucinda K has more The inspections ban of Mexican avocados now lifted In a statement ambassador Ken Salazar says Mexico and the U.S. have agreed to quote enact measures to ensure the safety of agricultural inspectors They make sure Mexican avocados don't carry disease or pests that would harm U.S. orchards The U.S. halted inspections last week after dangerous threats made toward a U.S. inspector in the state of michoacan That's where growers often face extortion by drug cartels I'm lucinda K two people are being treated for injuries after a helicopter crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Miami Beach I'm Brad Stevens You're listening to balance and power with David Weston on Bloomberg radio Still to come this hour taking another look at the GameStop frenzy from a year ago with professor Joshua mitts of the Columbia law school But first truckers in Canada have disrupted the capital of Ottawa and stopped goods and people from crossing the border with the United States Prime minister Justin Trudeau exercised emergency powers to bring an end to the blockades Occupying streets harassing people breaking the law this is not a peaceful protest This is about keeping Canadians safe protecting people's jobs And restoring confidence in our institutions For his view on what's going on in Ottawa and the border I talked to former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman Canada is one of our very best Friends It's our number one trading partner our next door neighbor and they have been there for us through thinking every time we've been in trouble and wherever we have gone around the world they've been at our side And they have never engaged in politics in the U.S. by political party or encouraging anything against the U.S. government even during the most challenging times with some challenging presidents that we've had In vice versa the U.S. doesn't engage itself in how Canada operates domestically It's in our best interest that Canada is stable is prosperous and a thriving democracy And yet what has happened is that a group of truckers who have perhaps legitimate crops with regard to vaccines domestically have engaged in a protest which is a Canadian issue have seen members of Congress the Senate and some media outlets in the United States encouraging disruptive destabilizing activities against the government of our best friend and neighbor Regardless of how we feel it's a line that should never be crossed Is this a spontaneous uprising of the truckers Are there other people involved in all this Mister ambassador estimation It initially started with this group of truckers so that everybody has an understanding Canada has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world And the trucking community is around 90% vaccinated So it's a small minority of the trucking population But what ended up happening is that a lot of people once this protest got underway Got encouraged to join in And so they really weren't truckers as this thing blossomed in Ottawa and at the ambassador bridge in coots crossing All of these weren't just truckers anymore And in some cases they were more radicalized people coming in at the encouragement again and proposed funding by many Americans in the United States who have more extreme views against the prime minister And I think it was started primarily when president Trump came out and used such disparaging language at the beginning of this against the prime minister and in support of the truckers and then it was a pile of them So politically what is the prime minister's position right now How do people in Canada feel about this Do they think he's overreached So according to polling throughout the country that he has the support of around 70% of the population There are about a third of the population in polling that do have some support even though they may also be vaccinated some support for the right for protesting And while I think Canadians are just getting used to this emergency powers act they don't know exactly how it's going to be implemented And that's just underway From an American perspective our top concern right now is and has been the free flow of goods across our shared border given our largest trading partner in the world especially in the Midwest where a lot of that trade goes over the ambassador bridge about a third of our merchandise trade which feeds into the ability to produce automobiles on both sides of the border Thanks to former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman Just over a year ago now markets were rocked by the meme stock frenzy with GameStop leading the way in a dramatic shoot up The SEC conducted an investigation into whether there was any wrongdoing and last October issued a report concluded that short selling whether coordinated or not played little part in the GameStop phenomenon But now a group of scholars has released a study taking issue with the SEC conclusions I talked to one of those authors professor Joshua mitts of Columbia law school Today concluded that there was either a short squeeze nor gamma squeeze What is a short squeeze Well that's when short sellers faced with the prospect of increasing price increasing stock price are forced to cover their short position by buying shares The SEC concluded there was no short squeeze price increase was not driven by short sellers covering their positions Similarly on the option side again squeeze occurs when derivatives dealers are forced to hedge by buying stock which in turn pushes the price up The SEC.

No crew Onboard Volkswagen Porsche Adi's and Lamborghinis In San Francisco I'm Ed Baxter ouch This is Bloomberg all right Juliet Thank you Ed Let's get back to our guest She chow is financial adviser and managing director at UBS on the line from San Francisco We wanted to ask your opportunities in Asia and given what Brian just told us about WeChat and AliExpress being added to the U.S. piracy list there how concerned are you about trying to get involved in China ticket at the moment China tech is this is a great question China tech has been bottom for a while and it's not going anywhere at this point And we feel it's good to have as part of a diversified portfolio but we're very cautious at this point performance will still depend on how much further grow to moderate versus how fast the supportive policies are rolled out And of course we are still seeing headlines regarding Chinese equities regarding restrictions So we are being very cautious and is China starts to pick up or Chinese equity starts to pick up We expect returns this year but you'll probably later half of this year So are there markets if you're a little concerned about jumping in right now in terms of Chinese equities I'm wondering whether there are other markets in the pack room that you like right now or there are opportunities there that you see I mean I think some of the fundamental technology companies but also semiconductors chip makers I mean these are some of the areas But in general it also has to do with a lot of the macroeconomy at this point that a lot of the equities specifically tech equity says bottom So what could that go down further It could So we are cautious in the near term But I think definitely some of these areas could be explored But investors just have to be cautious at point and expect a longer term horizon More broadly though unless I'm reading wrong it does look like you think there will be a rebound in Chinese equities you're saying mid teen returns is that going to be helped out by likely easing We've got China rate decision next week as well And we saw that slowing inflation down and kind of just giving more impetus perhaps for the PBOC to ease Yes I mean yes I mean China is definitely we expect 2022 GDP growth to normalize somewhere around 5% And we hope we are expecting further policy easing to cushion some of the economic slowdown So but again we have to just be cautious of some of the headlines They are very real And so it's just going to be a longer term horizon If you want to invest in Chinese equity I know you work with ultra high net individuals in China and in Hong Kong and I'm curious as to whether or not your advice right now would be let's put money to work in the U.S. Is that the story or are you focused on Europe at the moment I think we are really as well as managers we are really trying to focus on the more diversified portfolio at this point in the last few years investors have piled into tech and we just see a lot of that That's what drove the markets in the last few years But things are turning around and investors are adjusting to a reality a new reality at this point with inflation with rising rates and that's why we see all the volatility in the markets right now So we are trying to get our investors to focus on a balanced portfolio rather than focusing on any area And of course we like U.S. because we can find a lot of quality in the U.S. stocks So again we are working that around more diversified portfolios that involve not just equities but not just tech equities but energy financials commodities and trying to give it more of a balance portfolio And I guess as well hedging against these geopolitical concerns because as you say a lot of volatility out there and markets certainly trading on headlines at the moment she thank you for your time She chow is financial adviser and managing director at UBS on the line for us from San Francisco here on Bloomberg daybreak Asia we are

"Decision today but of course a lot of markets are major ones are closed for holiday UK China Japan Australia U.S. features though are positive up by three tenths of 1% for the S&P 500 right now That's a Bloomberg radio business flash now let's go to one of our top interviews from the past few months The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August and the take over by the Taliban left many questioning What all the billions of pounds spent in rebuilding that country was actually for the war had its roots in the idea that the west had a right and even a duty to intervene in countries where dictators were oppressing their own people a concept known as liberal interventionism Now what you're hearing and I explored whether Afghanistan was the final nail in the coffin of that idea with doctor Muhammad Sabu who is a lecturer in law and criminology at wal Holloway University of London In your view is liberal interventionism now effectively dead Thank you very good question Good morning In my view it is not dead yet because the views that images that you have seen from Afghanistan of course that shows the failure of the west that is that we could not establish our values However if we look into the context of it we're going to start it in considerable And in Sierra Leone particularly the Security Council faced those interventions And it did good for the people Now the main reason in my view that it didn't work out in Afghanistan because there are some kind of corruption which is the government and also I think it took a long long time for the wester to realize that it is not good to happen because in terms of the west assistance in the east there is always a question of legend domestic because if we look into the Arab world talking to people in southern states And with the majority states they always think And many people call us and including lawyers and politicians Things that stay in for a long period of that time to stabilize a country which have different values than us And rebuilding a nation sometimes doesn't work when you say that for long period of time And the news track right Well I mean what should the outside world do I suppose should it just stand by for regime takes power that is hostile to what we in the west I suppose we would consider basic human rights The west should be of course the west we have the power And we also have the responsibility to protect civilians And we have seen that in Libya the NATO was given the mandate by the United Nations Security Council to go there But the only issue there is that when a mandated issue the practice of Security Council is we look into the mandatory given in Libya was quite wide And this practice came from not just start from Libya itself If we look into the bandit given to the NATO for the Iraq War not in 2003 I'm talking about these are in 1990s When Iraq invaded cliff Now that resolution was quite widely drafted And he did give amended just to free people and to ensure that their stock is actually distinct And then the security process of the west went in there and devised their own strategy And it happened in Libya as well It helped actually there are limited help The rebel group So if we look into that perspective we can see that quite a lot due to liberate people to ensure the human rights particularly right to life in a movement where the speech Is stopping our preventing discrimination under international conventions and it has a responsibility to protect people But I want to forget is the main responsibility to protect lies to the Security Council The Security Council should issue a mandate The only problem is when west goes somewhere to rebuild the nation and establish our values the problem is that they do not have a detailed plan Well if they do have a mandate that they probably have a little bit more detailed plan an objective set out there and they can work out through that plan So in a way what you're talking about is mission creep as it's called there might be a plan but then the plan gets extended I mean no one really thought going into Afghanistan that the west would be there for 20 years Yeah Absolutely I mean I'm sure that we don't even think about that they will still have that long I'm sure the west have tried the best to rebuild this nation And you can see the response from the outgoing people and they saw the how desperate they are from where the state they don't want the Taliban reaching there They don't want it anymore because of the experience and that So if we see from that perspective I think we see how west is behaving at the moment They did the right thing They gave an opportunity to the government to rebuild the nation And the leaders of the African government but they failed unfortunately And if you look into how many soldiers are killed and how many similar votes they don't want to continue because they think also it's a failure But the main part of this of this intervention was war on terror just dump Taliban from becoming a terrorist terrorist heaven And I think that decided was succeeded But in terms of national building it did not Do you think that we're going to see similar interventions again Do you think that this is a sort of pause in this policy or has the west actually expected it will have definitively lost the appetite for this I think that it is just a pause for the moment because there is an exhibit of course And just to mention that Afghanistan only if there is even a television company if I say there are probably a little bit of power sharing that But if there is a government this government will have responsible international conventions In fact these are the state party to international communities civil and political rights and government on the discrimination against women and also the commission of the rise of the child So they have to respect all these international state obligations If they do not under the principle of responsibility to protect which of course was agreed with high level panel in the Security Council and also the general of the United Nations that the first responsibility goes to the state is the state phase If the government pays to protect human rights and to establish values and key women of particularly right to life and freedom movement and everything and also against discrimination then it goes to the Security Council If the security goes most of.

"That's where you get to hear a lot more from Dr Fauci again. You're listening to President Biden give a covert update on his response plan. This is Ko Phi and K. O S T h D to Los Angeles. They work free from political interference. They make decisions strictly based on science and health care alone signs and health alone, Not with the political consequences are Vice President Harrison. I and our entire administration will always be honest and transparent with you about both of good news and the bad. We will level with you. When we make a mistake. Straight up. Say what happened? And I said at the outset, the honest truth is, we're still in a dark winner of this pandemic. It's going to get worse before it gets better. It's going to take many months to get where we need to be. Progress from our plan will take time to measure as people getting infected today. They don't show up case counts for weeks, and those who perish from this disease die weeks after their exposure. Despite the best intentions were gonna face setbacks, which I will always explain to you. But I also but also know we can do this if we come together. That's why Ultimately our plan is based on unity and all of us acting as one nation. Requires families. Neighbors looking out for one another. Healthcare providers and businesses, civic and religious and civil rights organizations and unions, all relying together on a common purpose. With urgency and purpose and resolve. Requires reasserting our global leadership, which is why I took in action yesterday for the United States to rejoin the World Health Organization. To reestablish our global pandemic office in the National Security Council. Requires Congress coming together to provide the necessary funding in the covert relief package and the American rescue plan that I will soon be sending to the Congress. No, these bold practical steps will not come cheaply. Failing to do so will cost us so much more dearly. I look forward to working with members of both parties in the Congress. We're in a national emergency. This time we treat it like one together the national plan. As the United States of America. As I said yesterday, my inaugural address There are moments in history when Maura's asked of a particular generation more baskets as Americans and other times We are that moment now. She's going to measure whether we're up to the task. I believe we are. American people have given so much already. But I believe they're ready to set big goals and pursue them with courage, conviction and honesty. Because the health of the nation is literally at stake. It's not hyperbole. I'm convinced the American people already as well to spare no effort. No expense to get this time. What could be more important. More people we vaccinate. The faster we do it. The sooner we can put this pandemic behind us. The sooner we could build our economy back and build it back better. Get back to our lives into our loved ones. We could do this. We could do this that we stand together. This fellow Americans as the United and as the United States of America. God bless those lost souls in this pandemic and their families all they left behind. My God bless all of you on the front lines would define the best of who we are as Americans. Thank you very much. I'm gonna go over this desk and sign these executive actions but again. This is the plan. This is the plan. Go online and get it. I know it's a lot of heavy reading. But it's all laid out in stark detail here. Thank you. All right there. You have it. President Biden. They're talking about his plan to attack the cove. It talking about 100 days of mask wearing for the country, talking about a plan to reopen schools. We knew all of this was coming.
