will survive because i would like the prime minister and president biden to tell me how they think that will make the world a safer place. thank you very much for talking to us, nadine. keep up the good work. nadine, trying to coordinate people getting it in afghanistan and talking about the challenges as she described them there. dashing out of afghanistan. greece says it s completed a 40 kilometre fence on its border with turkey and installed a new surveillance system, amid fears of refugees arriving from afghanistan. the greek citizens protection minister said we cannot wait for the possible impact of the taliban s takeover of afghanistan. his comments came as president erdogan of turkey called on european nations to take responsibility for people fleeing the taliban. in other news. the british government has rejected a call to issue 10,000 temporary visas to eu workers to tackle an estimated shortage of 75,000 lorry drivers. logistics uk the trade body which represents freight
his people say that talking makes a world a safer place. what do you think? that was as true as ronald reagan stay as it is in ours. there was a famous office meeting when ronald reagan first became president. he was talking with judge clark and it may have been up private conversation but they were talking about what about making a deal with the soviet union and could we get this? i think he famously said to judge clark, i have a different idea. we win, they lose. these are people that can t be talked outside of what they believe to be their own interest. what they re looking for is a do you mean what you say or can we get away with things if we push hard enough? that s a problem. the biden approach has taken the opposite of teddy roosevelt, speak softly and carry a big stick. so far it is speak loudly but have no stick. john: the biden
korea. he s been a champion of the dialogue process with the north. he was there in the dmz with president trump. they said that his steps into north korea were steps toward peace. we hope president trump very much enjoyed the impromptu summit and said this was a great step to reduce tension. he deserves a lot of credit for making the world a safer place. and i think we re going to hear more and more on that theme going into the presidential campaign. but we didn t know until a short while ago what the north koreans themselves thought about this. we saw smiles on kim jong-un s face. now the official state television in north korea released a mini documentary. it took him a day to put together. pretty quick turnaround. you see kim jong-un s side.

working? well, it works to an extent. first of all, simple engagement with north korea makes sense. and we ought to be those conversations. that s the step that makes sense. the fact that the president is inconsistent in terms of the way he talks about the issues i don t think helps and i don t think it is the reason we have gotten to this point. after all, i don t think it sends a good message to the rest of the world when the president praises a kidnapper for releasing the people that he kidnapped. what kind of message does that send about american values. that s not really a step in the right direction for us. let s get to the other major foreign policy news which is the president s decision to pull out of the iran deal. i know you, sir, were one of the biggest critics. how big a mistake? colossal. on its face the agreement made the world a safer place. some don t agree with that, but the fact of the matter, the agreement was a big step in the right direction to preventing
