President Biden wants to balance the interests of police reform with also fighting this up. Taking crime that we're seeing not just in your city, not the big cities but across the country, inadequacy does see a kindred spirits, whereas AIDS is said to me, they they'd like the idea that he cars was the background as a police officer, but then also is calling for reform, but yet now pledging, of course, to bring down crime across the country. This is something that the has you why us aids have been worried about for quite some time. There see crime has steadily risen. I think most of it can be attributed to the pandemic and they hope that starts to begin to fade, but they recognize strategies need to change and that had been thwarted in their effort to have federal legislation to the crackdown on guns. President has done
We can over executive orders, why has AIDS and the council's office and looking to see if there's or that they can do, but for now it needs to be this needs to be this push and giving federal resources to the states to the municipalities to try to bring down crime or tablet is also looking at polling America more worried about.

new? This morning, Russia and China have signed a joint statement on calling on NATO to halt its expansion, calling on the west to quote abandoned the idea. Like D, the idea Lodge Ized approaches of the Cold WAR, Reuters,

The meeting is chinese leaders using pangs first face to face engagement with a foreign later in nearly two years: richer hoss, let's start right there. What are the implications,
two things in it in terms of China and Russia. Essentially, you have this kind of authoritarian, anti democratic international,
Russia. Doesn't much like out what's going on Ukraine, not simply because of NATO and the possibilities there, then it like the example that Ukraine set state all NATO like the content, I want anyone in Russia getting excited by

They want to have freedom to use force to create spheres of influence in their parts the world. So that some real parallelism there and what they agree on, is they don't much like anything the United States is about and they
increasingly banding together. Russia also provides China a lot of the energy needs, so they if they found common cause. So it's no
surprised that the Putin shows up at the opening of the of the Olympics, which rotation thing is a major major opportunity to say.
China is back.
I ve gotten on top of covert, even though they have not. We can talk about that if you want, but this is a real sign that these two countries and the forged

the United States. They have found lots today. They agree on elastic incense, take their; they jointly are against, and
What what do you make of the report about this so called staged attack where Russia could then claim that they were invaded? Is this possible and will? But where does it come from?
It's possible meta think about its consistent with everything curtains donkey manufactures this crisis. It puts north of
hundred thousand troops on Ukraine's border? And he traced
betray Russia as the victim that right,
is somehow reacting to events and he has no choice but to but to do things
This is the latest kind of potential trigger, what's really impressive here and I think they are
Straighten deserves some points, is we're getting ahead of the russian time and time again, the Brits did, at the other, with a day of the information game, were finding out stuff that their cooking up its its proposal.
The rest, but we're getting out and we're centrally, exposing it so we're reducing the ability of Russia to use these things is pretext. This is interesting and think about. In recent years, they ve Russia has been very good in the information space with Cyber were beginning to see that the United States in the UK are joint intelligence capabilities, are catching up and were in some ways denying them the ability to create the pretext they want, doesn't mean they won't invade, stayed to see if they want to invade the they will, and that's really still the larger issue. Are we doing enough to deter them again here? I think that the thrust of U S policy over the last couple of weeks has been very good. I don't think Putin counted on the kind of
spots, he's facing militarily
diplomatically the threat of sanctions. I think we ve wrong fitted him and that's it.
Explains why they keep looking for new things to try to introduce at least depending on the day, depending on who he asked Putin's, either going to invade he's makin invade he's gonna wait for the Olympics to be over he's gonna use. The Olympics is covered as distraction to go to go in halves,
calculus change for him. Do you think over the last week, watching for President Biden has done watching with the west, is down watch what Europe has done by talking about moving three thousand troops in the Eastern Europe, for example, do you think Putin's looking
this differently now than he did say a month ago. I still don't see what the face. Saving move for Vladimir Putin right now is to not invade gnats around concerned about Richard. How is there a way for this to de escalate? That Putin
still save space, which is we know what he needs in this is ideological to him, whereas we know that the american
Public is not going to be necessarily supportive of going Didn, T Gray Other just a three options. One is you could take some of the diplomatic things that are being offered to him in the way of arms control, new talks. Should Europe pull back so certain kinds of forces to you could do something almost parallel. He could say: you're gonna, put forces up in my back yard to reintroduce enforces in your backyard member the cuban missile crisis, maybe with bombers this time. He could do something like that. Thirdly, he could do the so called minor incursion
What kind of a smaller intervention, not with a hundred thousand troops, grab a little bit more land in the east of Ukraine? Something like that and he could basically say if I do something small, the German
and the Americans will not be on the same page. The sanctions I will then get hit with their much more modest, so they got three options: diplomatic, something parallel or to do something. Smaller lots,
things happening at the same time. Richard there's this angle. How speaker Nancy Pelosi warned american athletes competing right now in Beijing naughty?
as these games as a venue for protest.
I would say to our athletes you're there

Incurring the anger of the chinese government because they are ruthless
I know there is a temptation with the part of some to speak
while they or their. I respect that
but I also worry about
but the chinese government might do to their
mutations to them, families
the! U S among several other nations, has enacted a diplomatic boycott of the games,
hiding China's human rights abuses Richard. What do you make of that? What? What do you make a speaker policies comments?
stand that what she wishes.
I have my respectfully disagree.
Yes, it's gonna be risky for athletes to say something, but let me
Thus this olympic takes place against the backdrop of massive repression in China.

They have not issued a similar warning that speaker, Pelosi just did, but of course, they're not sending any representation there either there is a diplomatic boycott, Elise and they'll be watching carefully. Here is to see what happens. They know this is a huge stage. They know you should. Pay wants to go really well, though, sending an ominous note by bringing Vladimir Putin to town right beforehand. But what do you think? What do you think he's athlete should why think they Richards right that they have more leverage, then Nancy policies giving them credit for, and he was far more diplomatic, an ongoing debate in this saying its shameful. What she said its shameful to tell our athletes who are going abroad and representing their nation that they are free speech, should be cycle because we are worried about repression. Why are we sending our athletes to a country if we are so in fear for their physical safety that they cannot speak out and protests
injustices, which are happening
in China on such a huge level what's going on here with the weaker camps, it just in closing
yeah and rather felicity, Speaker Pelosi. She sounds genuinely concerned about the physical safety of these efforts.
that's our defence of it. But that's what she expressed here and I appreciate their because he's real, but I respectfully disagree with

What they're doing in China and go there and act like all is well is to normalize that's a very beautiful, brutal behaviour. I think that it would be incumbent on them to say this is not the way the world order be functioning and I think we do it at home. Suddenly we raise questions right now it in a well with this new Lawson did many of us supporting. So we

I don't think so. We need to let China, no. You live in a world tat human.
AIDS is non negotiable and make, as I say, several american athletes have said they will protest in some form. It could happen shortly at the opening ceremony. Maybe it happens down the road over the next two weeks, but many of those athletes have said no thanks to Nancy Policy on this
