and he emphasized that the u.s. is ready to confront china's military and economic ambitions but did promise that the u.s. is not seeking a new cold war. and he never actually called out china but -- by name but we know that some of the issues that he talked about including protecting the minority referred to beijing. haidi: yeah. when it comes to beijing, very interesting. because we saw last we had china surprise the world and the united nation was their pledge to go carbon neutral by 20600 and this year more environmental pledges by president xi saying china plans to stop building new coal-fired power plants abroad. and will also be upping that support to help poorer nations adopt clean energy. so very much a focus on their clean energy objective despite the political firestorm continuing around them. shery: and that's really having an impact on the broader commodity space, right? we saw the stumble in iron ore prices given the steel output curbs of beijing is implementing right now. and you talked about evergran

anchor: u.s. allies are unnerved by the chaotic exit. >> this is one of the biggest fallouts, projecting weakness. it has been shut down completely. our international partners are worried. the concern is that russia will take advantage of this. i think our international standing has been greatly diminished. anchor: thank you so much for being with us. let's go to afghanistan the taliban are promising and inclusive government, but what will that look like an islamic caliphate? they are using this idea that they are setting up this new government. the mandate will be to establish an islamic system. everything else is secondary to that area including discussions we are having. what about women in their conservative interpretation of islam? women must play secondary roles. they will not be in senior ministerial roles. the taliban came to power much more quickly than they expected. they controlled more territory across afghanistan than they did in the 1990's. they are in charge. this will be a taliban

it is over this new u.s./uk/australia security agreement that left france out of it and because of it, the united states is going to help australia develop nuclear powered submarines, but france had a deal with australia to develop conventional submarines and that deal has now been canceled. we have seen a tremendous amount of anger from the french here. that is the backdrop that the president is walking into right now and he's going to have to make his case for why america is actually back and how they will fortify those alliances. >> kylie, thank you. we'll be bringing you that speech just moments from now, president biden set to speak. the stakes as kylie laid out are high. we're live at the united nations. stay with us. we've got you taken care of, sgt. houston. thank you. that was fast! one call to usaa got her a tow, her claim paid... ...and even her grandpa's dog tags back. get a quote. in 2016, i was working at the amazon warehouse when my brother passed away. and a couple of years later, my mother pa

guest: in terms of u.s. government, i was a civilian in u.s. operations based out of kabul but spent time across the country with our special operations forces involved in activities from the north to the south and east and west of afghanistan. host: during that time, what did you learn about as far as potential threats that afghanistan could prove and relate that to what you are seeing now concerning afghan operations now? guest: there was a period of time over the decade after 9/11 where there were threats emanating from afghanistan and pakistan soil to the u.s. homeland. there was a plot thwarted based out of denver and new york city. he conducted training on the afghanistan-pakistan border in the plot was to conduct three separate suicide bombings in new york city subways and the fbi arrested him in 2009. there were other plots that were foiled, 2010 by the times square bomber. also trained along the afghanistan-pakistan border. there were a number of these plots and attacks that came close to ring successful in the u.s. -- two being succes

liberal u.s. democrats are publicly attacking jerome powell's record in a bid to displace president biden from giving him a second term. how's lawmakers including alexandria ocasio-cortez as well as two dozen liberal groups wrote separate memos this week criticizing powell's fed. they are not backing a single alternative. the taliban and other afghan leaders have agreed on the formation of a new government and cabinet. an official says an announcement will come into days. we are told the taliban had been waiting for the full withdrawal of u.s. troops before making public any leadership plans. bloomberg has learned the doj is preparing a second monopoly lawsuit against google over its digital advertising business. a source as action codes come as soon as the end of the year. last year, the doj sought -- filed a landmark antitrust case, charging the search engine giant with anticompetitive practices to search advertising. google dissolute's -- disputes that it monopolizes ad tech. global news 24 hou

for now, the u.s. has been obviously preoccupied with the question of evacuations and bringing out their citizens. so, somehow, the last meeting in doha was, i would say, as big as --. these are the kinds of problems of the foreign ministry of germany could have a conversation on the evacuation situation in have actually issued a consensus declaration, where they have their expectations from the government in afghanistan. so, really i would say that this will be an ongoing effort, that is hard to see will happen eventually. basically, their ability to deliver on the promises and commitments they have made lies in negotiations with the united states as an important benchmark that we can use. right now, what is really important, urgent, and critical is to avoid the aggravation of a communitarian situation. >> waif seen an increase, unfortunately, in attacks against pakistan carried out by the taliban since the afghan power in kabul, including the incidents less today -- yesterday. national security advis

the u.s. two-year is at the highs -- highest we have seen since march of 2020. morgan stanley is coming in. they say one point in percent by years end. when we got above that 1.4 level, that is when you start to see the hedging. that will prolong the selloff. >> we have a chart on this as well. we have a jump about the daily moving average. it took me longer in terms of yields. it is all to do with what is going on in the fed. there is an assumption that they may be getting more hawkish. robert kaplan as well. they were regarded as being the most hawkish even though they were not voting members. that is something -- others have been weighing in into the whole debate itself. >> unemployment is a bit short of the mark on what i consider to be substantial further progress. if progress continues, it may soon meet that mark. >> etiquette is clear that we made substantial further progress in achieving our inflation goal. there was very good progress in maximum employment. assuming the account contin

the u.s. used to have a lot of participation from the afghan government and its subsidiaries but that is not the case anymore. this remains to be seen if the u.s. can conduct operations. for the moment, it seems like everything is being built on not the taliban's intentions but as president pointed out a few weeks ago, they have an interest in fighting isis. a counter terrorism operation? >> are the u.s. and taliban on the same page as that? is the starting point the same? the u.s. sees a threat from isis-k and has for many years. if the taliban does not agree with the u.s. on this, what does that mean for even short-term tactical cooperation? >> that is the problem. you put your finger on the heart of the problem. let us say for example, the intelligence the u.s. receives on isis-k activity involves people who actually have connections to the taliban. this is a fluid battle space. how can you tell the difference between taliban elements and isis-k, assuming these are two neat categories that

the u.s. and u.k. would provide nuclear-propelled submarines to australia. yesterday, france's foreign nister, jean-yves le drian, said biden's policy was no different than trump's "america first." >> ( translated ): we thought unilateralism, unpredictability, brutality, and not respecting your partner was part of the past. but it continues. and contrary to everything that is being said openly and in public, this is what is surprising and shocking. >> schifrin: american officials believe the dispute will blow over, and today, president biden and australian prime minister scott morrison tried to reassure europe. >> we share so many like-minded interests. >> schifrin: those interests are increasingly focused on china. the u.s. sees china's military modernization, technological expansion, and predatory trade practices as the west's preeminent challenge. today, president biden never mentioned "china," but it was the speech's subtext. >> we'll stand up for our allies and our friends, and oppose att

>> u.s. is in a transition period, maybe this crack is part of that, where we're recognizing economic growth will pick up other places, europe for example. those stokes are a lot cheaper than the u.s. there are good reasons structurally why that is the case but if european growth picks up even as our growth is slowing, we witness some selloff in the dollar versus the euro, that's a time for investors after spending the last decade ignoring everything outside of the u.s. successfully, they're going to need names outside of the u.s. i think this is a transition period. liz: 2 1/2 minutes to go and, george, we, bob just mentioned autos. ford is having a very difficult day, general motors too, but ones in china, li and nio are struggling as well. how do you figure this if the world is transitioning to electric vehicles in the next decade? >> you have to have natural gas-powered battery plants to power the ev vehicles. i don't think there is any way to lose from that. you have to have it around th

the u.s.-iran nuclear deal. welcome to "washington journal." tell us about your group, the international crisis group. what is your mission and how are you funded? guest: the crisis group is a conflict prevention organization. there are a lot of organizations, ngos and governmental organizations that deal with the aftermath of conflict, from refugees to health issues, reconciliation, reconstruction. like human diseases, wars are often better to prevent than to deal with. that is the mission of this organization, which is based in brussels and it was created 25 years ago. it is funded by philanthropists, foundations and also governments and it covers around 50 conflict around the world, including the iran nuclear issue. host: what role does your organization have in the discussions on the iran nuclear deal during the obama administration? guest: the organization has been involved for almost 18 years now , but during the obama administration, we were one of the outside groups in the u.s. or euro
