President has been detained by Security Forces a 3 day state of emergency is in effect stratford has more from the capital bishkek and the parliamentary speaker in the last has announced that there will be no discussion of the state of emergency in this session however the state of emergency is active for the next 3 days starting from 9 oclock this evening which is just under an hour away from now and if parliament has not approved that state of emergency decree to extend it within 3 days then the decree becomes no void so as i say just does seem as if certainly lord order does seem to be returning.

Funding banks and announces the ever changing Steve Clemons i have a question as we approach a historic election what are americas closest allies thinking lets get to the bottom line. Last week we spoke with the former american official who spent his life looking at this countrys relations with the rest of the world that would be Lieutenant General a charming master who spent more than a year as President Donald Trumps National Security adviser this week were flipping the table and talking to someone whos on the outside looking in lets jog your memory for a moment remember a big story from last year although now it seems like ages ago someone leaked a confidential memo from the British Ambassador to his own government describing the Trump Administration with words like inept and dysfunctional possibly subject to collapse in disgrace among other really candid assessments it didnt take long for donald trump to hyper react on twitter targeting the ambassador as wacky and launching all sorts of insults and the ambassador then resigned quickly that former u. K. Ambassador and our guest today is kim derrick hes coming out with a new book about his experiences during those 3 years in washington Collateral Damage britain america and europe in the age of trump and master derek great to be with you to talk about your new book coming out but i also just want to get at something thats very deep and it comes out of your observations about the United States and what you were reporting back and im interested in the off sure view of our country right now and that is do you see america as broken in half. I assume there are as barry divided as divided as being as its been for decades but i have a fundamental i have a law for america i was an hour and a fundamental belief in american resilience it was a spring back form of problems that we will face huge problems with the time to make the economic destruction in schools d. And other issues you know it was excessive i did. So i think. You know fundamentals of the and with the right leadership cute you can scream about it but it does look a true place at the moment theres no doubt what if you had been writing a memo i mean not to hear about the memo you did write but what if youve been writing a memo saying you know everything is just great its so it its moving smoothly and on trumps firmly in control and this is all going as democracy goes its sort of messy but im interested if you had been the other more obsequious observer of trump in american politics well how that would have gone over. It looks very very strange steve i think my bosses in london. Particularly the senior Civil Servant in charge of the formal office given us the early travails of the truck presidency what big news everywhere i mean things like that executive order about banning banning businesses from 7 many muslim countries that was immediately blocked in the courts but not without our. Courts around the world its monitored something saying everything is going great kalou going to 24 hours later or on the 2nd floor or say now you know right. Now all things and you know i had to go back. Every 2 or 3 months or so to brief more was going on and i think people would react at me looked at me rather strangely and maybe wondered if i really have bigger problems because out of how it all i mean putting of course you dont say this kind of thing but in trying to communications to united whole generation ones you tell it as strange as you possibly can and just one of the things that happens now days is brits sation a. What are you so rude about the trouble ministration that memo leaps and americans say to me why are you so while. Youre ready to laugh it was so so i had different reactions like the side of the of the apollo but well you know as you say these were sort of assessments and stories not were around in the Mainstream Media in the u. S. Every day so it didnt feel that exceptional will be here. You know hundreds of french away and said how do you feel about the memo you wrote what did you get right what did you get wrong. June 1st into say is understandably and this is not the night of the new media its all of us well there was quite a lot of them and it was some 5 or d 6 pages long. Us the extraordinarily strong supports President Trump got from his base about his ability to ride through crises and criticism about his seeming instruct ability and in the in the last i said how in combat things look do this guy having a strong reelection in 2020 just because of the extraordinary from nationals he gets from his. From his from his base. And i didnt get much from sources so i thought it was a balanced picture and ive read it obviously several times since and one that i should look at things differently now as ive said a number of times point at least since im comfortable with what i wrote and i feel you know when people could really take a view but it was a pretty good prediction of the way things were done full. You know you had this wonderful section of your travel through america that you look for all these opportunities to get out in the sea and go meet real people nashville. You know going down to louisiana to new orleans going to talk to newburgh drivers and going to wisconsin and meeting farmers and pretty much everybody you met as you recounted in the book. Had admiration for trump and distain for clinton did i tell us about that. You know d thats exactly exactly what happened. I remember to this day. One of my colleagues from the embassy go to midwest a couple of weeks before the election and traveling around wisconsin maps with me and saying 2 is really strange here it consumes used to be 2 or 3 points and opinion polls i travel around was constant i never see a yard sign anywhere for Clinton Campaign christie hundreds for trauma tents and you know that that worries me and on election nights that came back to me is still with me and if theres one thing i think now. Romeo. Mittimus read things a bit he was paying too much attention to opinion polls around the country about how the election as a team is going to go and too much attention to washington opinion this was a town of course as you know verges much to 93 percent here it comes im and not you not to those lessons i heard this messages about a year previously when i was doing my private tour around and around with the cell phone around bits of the southwest border is like that so thats my favorite i think in my final evening report before election day too long and i said it everything in terms of opinion polls and pundits points tools a dictionary dot there is still a cost that brings donald trump into the white house and i kind of wish i had gone more strongly on the 2nd than the 1st but you know no one else was 7 because i would look very silly if clinton had won and she won the popular vote by 3000000. But you have a liberal College System so it was different. Tell us about your 1st encounters with. The new team coming in after dark rock was elected before he was inaugurated you had this colorful description of your 1st meeting with gerry pushchair. Yeah i mean i would like to have met jerry pushed. Steve. And met Michael Flynn we met penny our cold way and met some real figures around the trump team that i had met. All. They were hot i mean not really any of the embassies in washington had really been in touch with those 2 that being with the president on his campaign trail anyway not not very assessable national of kentucky emails from both of them by inch leader is you know that was reading to see me up in trucks hour in new york so i went up. And it was shortly after it loose it was during the transition period between election victory of the trump and innovation there being a version election issues in new york on his really sentiments where i think all the other members of the Security Council have voted for the resolution to condemn israeli settlement policy and the u. S. Integrated with all past president s and im saying normally the u. S. Votes against any u. N. Resolution that criticizes israel and i wouldnt for a while i hope it would be a good video 1st mission and our push that he was furious about this hopes to supposition that the u. K. To come along with the rest of the Security Council and said this wasnt the way that he told the ministration expect its allies to behave so it was meant to be really friendly going to. Turn to something a bit of it different i expect it was something unsuitable given long established policy of the mission against the resolution euro against israeli sentence policy but it was really very severe miles and then my mission with steve benen which was said you know straight up to its. Our tech students that im in im too close to full bloom building i come up the techs about to say actually im in washington who do not know all about me sick so i went up the 2 floors instead. Up on spec to see michael cohen. Are so also giving me his email and ive not met him will be in touch with them by assad regime thats an ability part for me she said sure sure come up and the foreign minister to see michael cohen. There was a big big Corner Office in the pen aramic if you are. Sensual new york never manhattan and i could see through the office to your own is no bottom of the president elect but hung around for a few minutes hoopy i could just sort of going to announce my songs and the original us of all immigration all up on the table that a lot of them say hey now buy whatever the truck tire i met the president elect today but telephone call he was on was going on and on long and i was getting quite heated so i call us all going to work so insecure who couldnt mark off enough moose talk about. American sports baseball turned out and to invite him to come and play tennis because he was expected to come up to washington for a job in the white house and the my memory from that apart from you know quite a shorts question was these great piles of people everywhere in my office covering the decks in the in the shelves and you know lots and lots of paper but i guess all i ended up in the Prosecutors Office when when michael goss got arrested in us and he didnt want washington so we never got to play tennis now we are but it was it didnt anyway unfold quite as it would be quite as id expected to unfold i did meet the president a few days later when we have an event for the diplomatic and this is the enemy. In washington. Because it was beautiful week but a missile launchers missile who. Would basically i mean i want to give you know the audience understanding that you wanted odds with this administration you were you know meeting Kellyanne Conway you were meeting wilbur ross the secretary of commerce you had you were you were getting into some of these meetings you were a neighbor of Vice President pence they would come to your party so you were doing your job in getting this this going and would love to hear about it a little bit about those interactions and then this. Tweet by dawn from comes out where he says many people would like to see nigel farage represent Great Britain how did how did that make you feel. I mean youre right it was this Digital Store all embassies now masses in washington to get as close to the sunni areas in the Incoming Administration as you can and thats what i was doing with we felt some success. Now its got flow will quite well already. Or of the Election Campaign and you know even if you get to me its to manage general flynn and and the other so we felt we had some reasonable caltex in and i was over in london when the president made his tweet about her are others as british im not as a mass of the us i was actually imminent to do a speech for speech and then in june in our office and my phone was on charge in the hotel room all lights switch son off it was kind of vibration away with lots of messages coming in jones made me aware of. And so was half asleep and eventually we got 5 30 in the morning to check or to come in when i saw theres this report on the screen of the president to treat it as you know i wasnt thinking necessary massively clearly 5 30 in the morning but i thought i do was switch on the t. V. To see how big a story this falls. Maybe see breakfast t. V. News at 6 am it was the lead story i dont know lets a story rather thats going to stick around and that there was no comment from number 10 but by the 6 30 am bulletin number 10 important put out of their line which was there is no vacancy in washington which of course he was reassuring i mean from korea sure the opposite would be but i never source that it would actually lead to a change in the. It was actually the trees are a government that was word was to use the president s of the us 1st because nigel throws is. A lot of opposing political policy to the conservatives and certainly recalls we should do ready almost always close with difference with people who spend their career and so this was not a political appointees but. Most of 2 and i was being tossed around. When you leave friends nigel to explain well maybe its not going to work out our house. You know when i 1st saw the title of your book Collateral Damage you know another term that we had in oklahoma and texas for that is road kill and one of the interesting one of the interesting things when you when you read your book is that you dont sit there and whine oh woe is me and and feeling sorry for yourself youre essentially writing the kind of memo i think that you were writing for your government to to all of us and its not about you but it is about something deeper which is are your observations about the rise of populism your worries about you know the values of liberal democracy not only in the United States but around the world but also in Great Britain and id love to get understanding of how you see those tectonics right now because i think thats the really powerful anchor of your book is it is it sending a deeper message. Well firstly im very glad its appreciative that that message that came through from the book for you because i do think i have very much to whine about that i had a very traumatic 3 or 4 days i mean we were in touch of it as it was unfolding and nihal done without that but i had an extraordinary lucky career and you know things worked out very well for me i was brought up in in. A modest circumstances in what was you would call it Public Housing we call it comes from ours and for much of my youth like im going to be latino scholarship at that school but i wasnt it was a very privileged upbringing and i had a very very lucky to get to our ideas in my Foreign Office career i would never have imagined it at the beginning and the loss of moments when january luck played a part of things i think i had nothing to whine about and feel sorry for myself about what i want to pursue in the book was try and explain why rex it happened why in America Donald trump won the election and that you know there is one single message out there is they didnt win leave didnt win the bricks a Campaign Truck didnt win the u. S. Election because for so many people things were going so well the opposite mainstream politics really wasnt and mr politicians really were delivering for enough people otherwise the advice they gave to look for a main or d you know hillary Clinton Campaign with wa and few notes new computing out about how it is we populous leaderships you know in countries around the world unless mainstream politicians and mainstream Political Parties try to learn the lessons of where they were going wrong where they were listening to people where they were. Consulting where they werent following the right policies when they were appearing arrogant and out of touch im concerned about the plight of ordinary people and it being the keep up with what i spent most time on thought most about. At least in the context of grex it and i believe so also in context of the. Transcript tree and 2016. That it was about Us Immigration should be fact in our in our books a vote it was about inequality and the fact. That the original got rich and all the whole the poor have struck me as not core poor are over there i mean the policy is groom over the past past decade or 2 now and another didnt see about change happening so fast that people are conservative with a small c people who are uncomfortable change because change comes across to many many people as loss and way that people felt and feel are a way of life has been threatened and while on the rock you know im against say like personal abuse i was i was liberal d as anyone i was and a huge fan of brookss. And i dont agree with many of prison trends policies i try to understand why a lot of people do support them and i think unless as i say mainstream politics render stands well it starts to respond better then theres a lot more mileage in populous and yet to matter we have 2 minutes and i got 3 lightning round questions for you the encodes Donald Trumps former director of National Intelligence has wondered out loud whether Vladimir Putin has something on don trump have you ever found what lattimer putin might have on down from jersey this is my questions of the age and all i can say is everyone was intrigued by. The way donald trump spoke about him and the way behavior of person but i really. Version for the media presenters was us media you had some of your best people trying to explain this as usual was anything to stand on the story but putin had some room to talk but i do believe that things i have to say i do. Second thing is the era of candid memos from ambassadors back to their governments over. I who not. You know it caused a huge shockwave around the British Foreign service when my members believe its my resignation. And. Theres nothing unique about our russian friends memos and if you look at its release you will d see a huge pile of u. S. Foreign Service Members that we dont talk about 10 years ago for the very frank about the governments the dealing with. But didnt you know i think it will have a Chilling Effect on how people report noticed and lastly i know that you know Vice President biden just about as well if not better than you know President Trump and his team my question to you is i know youre still keeping your antenna up in american political scene how do you think the election is going to go do you think as you were to as an analyst do you think donald trump may pull this out and be judged by. You know steve i think biden has to be the favorites and i would have said through 4 weeks ago its too soon to tell because they elect me they. Will debase were still to come and i didnt think joe biden was brilliant in the primary debates so sure about one supporter you might worry about how he would do in those dalton is a very difficult guy to to debate with now but we now had the 1st debate and whether we have a next 2 or law we will see. And i think that. I dont think that the president s illness they are in a virus all those medo up seems to made a remarkable and quick recovery will it help them because its caps the pandemic time curve in 19 at the top of the way its the talk of news cycles well i think you rather have been about about Something Else so you know i do this on a stage or on some in a book book trust will shoot a gun to my hair i have to say i think i think that joe biden will win which will im haunted by what happened in 2016 so you know i have to go back because it takes it to count all trumped up because he is in there he is a mess is indestructibility right im listening. Indestructibility you heard there donald trump may make it through i just want to tell people this is a really fascinating book to read and to learn from its also hilarious. In telling your own demise and i should acknowledge to our audience that you and i did talk during those days and i remember telling you dont worry youll be the only ambassador from england that anyone remembers theyll be a book and then theyll be a movie so to me eric astor can derek thanks so much for joining us today you stretches huge question thank you very much so whats the bottom line is the former British Ambassador to washington write to be ringing alarm bells about the end of democracy era and Global Politics and the rise of populist fueled autocrats like President Trump and trump clones around the world and are the ties that bind countries together based on liberal values just coming apart its really an open question right now the United States doesnt act like a country that wants or needs strong partnerships and it can afford to be that way when it thinks no major threats are facing it well china russia iran racial and economic tensions and Global Warming may see it differently and thats the bottom line. Corruption it is that invisible find a wall of silence. Is not something to be tolerated it. Is a. Country his. Lets destroy this wall. Came 2020 the free space in colleges the heroes who are fighting against corruption this helps our communities to save the resources that we need in order to address the burning problems that affect us all.

When if europeans rose and forced them all to cross the crews used from power the new administration aim for unity through an Ambitious Program of political reform. But 2 years on. People in power whether the countrys diverse ethnic interests will ever be reconciled. The battle for the field on a. Clue. Global community we are i think its almost you know both. So crazy so what response that looks like be part of the debate you can jump into the conversation right away when no topic is off the table youre not afraid of anyone taking power we just call it what. Use is 3 talking richer and the poor getting poorer its not to destroy the system its just to look at the system and adapt it to the modern world this street on out is near. 0.
