we saw the tpp proceed without the united states. we saw pakistan pushback on long-term china's strategy of developing influence through investment. this was not done at the united states' instigation. other nations are constraining us a we don't have blocs. what do i suggest instead of a new cold war? i say u.s.-china relations. balanced, it seems to me that it is still a very useful phrase and it does not tie us into any framework. the last part of your question was are we heading there. could we get there? comingre worrisome signs from both capitals, one of which we saw just last week when the american administration announced a new africa policy and sit of framing it in terms of american interests vis-a-vis african nations or the needs of africa, it was phrased in terms of countering china in africa. i think that this was bad africa policy and it implies a desire to set up blocks. we also do see in chinese diplomacy a tendency to want to spread chinese influence which is counter to international best practices, a desire to have n

this shows a weakness on several fronts and therefore the united states is repositioning itself the united states doesn't wish to remove the assad regime but actually puts on a condition but it needs to have a fundamental change in the policy of syria and that fundamental change i think. i don't think it's possible at this point nor did they would have to would they would have to take what's there on the table mr james jeffrey is saying he's also in his words between the lines you can see a threat he's saying that the assad regime did not win the war yet. what does he mean by that does he mean that the united states is ready to reengage by supporting the terrorist organizations and by recreating chaos in syria and trying again on this failed and destructive kind of a move towards i'm not sure but he's not in a position to make any conditions. the british government is wrapping up preparations for a no deal bragg's it has to be some maize withdrawal plan continues facing opposition from m.p.'s of vote in parliament has now been scheduled for next month the u.k.'s brags that secretary says a

think about united states navy in 1945. a professor at harvard wrote a wonderful piece for the naval institute and said the united states navy is in danger of going out of business. why is that? because the imperial japanese navy and german navy lie on the bottom of the pacific ocean. there is to challenge the united states navy. you have this enormous fleet of aircraft carriers floating in solitary with nothing to do. these the vocabulary to talk about why this big fleet exists and why congress needs to fund such a big fleet. what do you benchmark your efforts to against the future adversary when no adversary is on the horizon? the soviet navy does not come into its own until the 1960's. winning too big is a serious thing. when the united states navy declared history ended, the soviet navy you could look it up online -- they say we no longer need to fight in order to control the sea. we could assume the united states navy owns the sea. we could get this into a safe expanse and conduct humanitarian assistance. all the thing

new affordable units built. most of the districts have positive balances, except for four, which have negative balances. this next slide shows the distribution by planning department districts. the districts, by the way, are consistent with the boundaries used in the housing inventory reports, which has been in existence for over 50 years. again, this is a range of balances from negative 286%, roughly same geography as the board district 4, to about 137% in bernal lights and western addition. the positive balance is due to a program in the district. it projects a housing balance as a proportion of new units and projects that have received entitlements and yet to receive building permits. the slide shows the balance at 16%. it's in the same time as the previous reporting period. the housing balance is provided at board district and planning district levels. the housing balance ordinance specifies the projects entitled but not yet to have building permits not be included in the housing balance. all together, the r

so it is all of these terrible flaws in the united states. it still was a beacon of hope around the world. it still was a country that took seriously it's enlightening ideals. in this national conversation 1830, that had been simmering for some time, comes to a head and the jackson administration proposes the indian removal act. what it's about is trying to manage this problem, which is there are indian nations in the state. this is something that causes problems for the state, limits their development, and it feels intolerable to a certain number of americans that there should be this self-described indian nations within the united states. in 1830, the act proposes something that is really quite extraordinary. it really imagines a future in which the united states would exist without american indians. it proposes an exchange of land s so that indians inside the territorial borders of the united states would be west of the mississippi. this is one solution, igniting a n intense national debate. and what we show in this section is how many poi

attorney his office in august 2017 that unit number five is used as an office space instead of a unit. that complaint case is opened. it was investigated for a good period of time and in august of this year, the planning department did issue and n.o.v. and required that it be updated. the permit for item seven b. was to essentially, even though the language is to renovate the kitchen and the partition walls, my understanding was to replace the kitchen and reintroduce a dwelling unit use into that space and formally remove any illegal office space that had been there. because of that, on september 25 th when this permit was issued, that enforcement case was closed. so i want you to be aware of that. because it has implications for what happens with this permits. making sure it is properly abated. >> you are saying there is n.o.v. issue because it was found there was an illegal office use being used at the location and this is to rectify this? >> i do not know what it says and i don't think it specifically references that purpose but effectively, that was part of the purpose. >> are you

this is a very important moment for the united states senate. thank you, madam president, and i yield the floor. mr. durbin: madam president? the presiding officer: the assistant minority leader. mr. durbin: are we in a quorum call? the presiding officer: no, we are not. mr. durbin: madam president, i rise today to address one of the most sad, the saddest and one of the most depressing issues of the moment, and that is the drug epidemic which faces america. the reality of this drug epidemic is felt in every corner of this country. there is no suburb too wealthy, no town too small, no place in this country that hasn't been touched by the opioid and heroin epidemic. but the centers for disease control put out a statement this morning that's important for us to truly understand this drug epidemic. what the centers for disease control said was that fentanyl has become the deadliest drug in the united states. they reported wednesday that fentanyl was involved in more deadly drug overdoses in 2016 than any other drug. there were a total of 63,632 drug

but not the united states. this is another example of the united states stepping back on the world stage and allowing countries like france to filled the void. recently the united states government and state department in particular have renewed efforts to advance norms and norms discussion. thems efforts must be elevated d strengthened. but norms on traditional cyber attacks alone are not enough. we need to bring international frustration operations into debate. this brings support for rules for internet's potential for oppression. we need to present alternates that explicitly embrace a free and open internet and we need that responsibility to extend not only to government, but to the private sector as well. we need multi-lateral agreements with key allies just like we've done with international treaties on biological and chemical weapons. that discussion needs to address mutual defense commitments. we should be linking consensus principles of state behavior in cyber space explicitly with the tdeterrents and e

well another thing that the united states is why the united states is unhappy with this deal is the fact that it binds only russia and the united states and they say that while other countries going to explore their military capabilities and hampered well according to vladimir putin he doesn't really see a problem in inviting other nations to join and to sign this treaty as well but of course if this deal does fall apart eventually then vladimir putin has said russia will have to respond swiftly and well of really he said it won't take much time for russia to develop whatever military countermeasures for whatever the united states have in store what the united states have planned for this deal but a deal is a deal is so that outside of course it wasn't the only thing that the russian president has spoken in front of all the generals he also talked about russia's defensive capabilities about russia's outlook for twenty nineteen he's developing military technology and unmanned warfare capabilities are key are you all saw and mentioned the nuclear tried as a priority the development of russ

when you see the united states step away from the world stage, when you see the united states be isolationist in its approach it has been able to sustain that for a short period of time but invariably it has to deal with realities of what is happening around the world and we have seen the last 20, 25 years, truly extraordinary events which has meant the united states has been the sole superpower on the world stage and that chapter has come to a close. so how does the united states magnify its strength? it has to be through those alliances. that is not surprising coming from the uk defense secretary but it puts responsibility on allies themselves because the point of a nation paying their way contributing, stepping up to the mark on defense was absolutely right. it shouldn't just be the united states, britain and a few other countries suspending a minimum of 2% and we should see 2% as a minimum. it is not a ceiling. but actually it is not just about what you spend. we have to have a complete change in attitude and approach, we have been seeing the united states taking the lead in so many diffe

i have got this statement from manchester united announcing that jose mourinho is leaving united with immediate effect. the club say they would like to thank him for his work, during his time at united and they wish and success in the future. a caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season whilst the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new full—time manager. mourinho has been under huge pressure over the past few weeks. united in sixth place in the premiership, 19 points behind the leaders. liverpool beat them 3—1 at the weekend. it is the worst league start the 28 use. notjust the results they have been getting but the style of football they have been playing. it has been negative, all, lacking entertainment and creativity upfront that manchester united fans are used to seeing. notjust problems in attack but in defence, they conceded more goals this season already than they did in all of last season. and manchester united have decided it is time to act and jose mourinho has gone. surprising it has taken this long, worst possible start, and

he was a permanent representative to the united nations. and to his left, you're right, is the director of the international institutions and global governance program at the council on foreign relations. he is also a state department veteran, and he is the author of several books, including most recently the very good "sovereignty wars: reconciling america with the world," which you should all buy. let's start with some questions for the group, and we are going to open things up to the floor. the premise for tonight, as we have established, is multilateralism is essential for peace. but to be fair, we probably should not assume that. guess which each of you thinks on the subject, but i want to start by asking each of you, do you agree with the fundamental idea that multilateralism is essential for peace, and that you can have the latter and not the former? of any countryw that can make peace alone inside its own domestic situation, and even then that is sometimes hard. if by multilateralism you mean it takes more than one country to settle

states and the coalition that it leads the united states itself has shared its goals as publicly stated that its aims. with regards to syria have shifted that it no longer sees unseating president bashar al assad or regime change in syria as a goal we're not asking for regime change we're not asking for the russians to leave what we're asking for is a compromise settlement there's a strong. readiness on the part of western nations not to money for that disaster unless we have some kind of idea that their government is ready to compromise and that's not create yet another horror in the years ahead nevertheless the situation in syria remains volatile especially now with turkey threatening to intervene to invade northern syria out of security concerns as they see the white e.g. syrian kurds that control much of northern syria as a terrorist organization and they have threatened to act we're also seeing sporadic fighting in egypt with the jihad ists joined by rebels there and the syrian arab army clashing from time to time so there is certainly motivation to get things done . we spoke to fo

each of the two units did-shall sorry, each of the three units will have two units, with the bottom unit having an additional office room, and efforts were made to keep all three units equitiable, given the constraints that we're working with. so at approximately 1400 to 1500 square feet each, we feel they would be able to accommodate growing families, while being held accountable to the square footage restrictions. the lert roofs ordinance just requir -- better roofs ordinance just requires 50%. so the units, about how they're laid out, you can sort of see the color correlation between the units. they were laid out in a staggered fashion and that was really because we were working with the constraints of the set backs from the average rear yard line. and that just left a fourth story that was simply too small to create a unit out of. >> clerk: thank you, sir. your time is up. >> okay. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. so we'll open this item up for public comment if there is any. seeing none, we'll close public comment. commissioners? commissioner moore? >> commissioner moore:

the united states to it's very important that if you do come together we start to become inclusive and we find success but that's words now what about the money the u.s. is shoveling military and economic aid honduras is way sixty eight million tax dollars worth and at the very same time nicaragua is about to be slapped with further sanctions just last week congress passed the nneka act over the latin american countries corruption and human rights violations so two countries with very similar problems but two very different approaches. that we're one of those two countries has been highly. distorted by the mainstream media by the u.s. government the united states is not concerned about human rights and democracy in fact we know that the u.s. supports seventy three percent of the world's tator ships but uses human rights. arbitrarily and selectively in order to justify its own geopolitical ends up of course is a classic example where the us ordered the supposed dictatorship for decades and now when there was a popular or revolution by the sandinistas who worked for over ten years suppor

mark lococh from the united nations. nicholas kristof continues, "what is most infuriate is that the hunger is caused not by drought or extreme weather but by cynical and failed policies in riyadh and washington. the starvation does not seem to be an accidental by-product of war but, rather, a weapon in it. saudi arabia and the u.a.e. backed by the united states are trying to inflict pain to gain leverage over and destabilize the houthi rebels. the reason the ruths are alive -- the houthis are alive with iran. kristof continues, and i quote, the problem in emwhyen is not so much a shortage of food as it is an economic collapse. g.d.p. has fallen in half since the war started. that has left people unable to afford food. and, quote, kristof tips -- -- kristof continues, quote, we think of war casualties as men with their legs blown off. but in yemen, the most common war casualties are children like far a's who suffer malnutrition, end quote. continues, some will die. even the survivors may suffer lifelong brain damage. a m

wewe can be different if united precisely because we are united by our right to be different. that'but in a nutshell is plura. it is the alchemy that makes out of many one possible. it's the means by which we have been able to weave together the disparate threads of a diverse society more t successfully than any other nation on earth. in pluralism that is the understanding that our country was both not under the collection of common characteristics that a common purpose. when we approach problems from a pluralist perspective, we recognize the majority of our disagreements are not matters of good versus evil that good versus good. pluralism acknowledges that there is more than one way to achieve the good. accordingly, it seeks to accommodate different conceptions off the grid rather than put them against each other. the adversary of pluralism is the zero-sum politics, which we embrace in our own peril. the zero-sum politics tends to view life through an absolutist prism, one that shatters all nuance and casts everything as an either or fallacy. this distorted way of thinking re

africa is important to the united states. if we didn't understand it before, the competition posed by china and russia among others, should highlight it for us which is why i do thinks this is a potential turning point in american understanding of what's at stake for us, not just for africa, but for the united states in african affairs, so that as we address this, i think there should be a new openness on both sides to understanding what's at risk here and why it's to our advantage to update our understanding of what the priority is for the united states. >> one of the main themes of your speech and the president makes this point time and time again, is that the american foreign policy should serve the interests of the american people. the interesting thing that struck me about the way you were laying out the strategy is that, yes, it suits our interests and suits our values, but it's also good for africans too. it's more effective in combatting the problems the africans themselves face, whether it's terrorism, economic devel

you want to come and work for a specific time during the united -- in the united states. it is easy and relatively cheap to get to north america. it is also relatively easy and cheap to get back. there was another pattern of migration in which people would come, work hard and save money. then they would go back to italy or poland, where ever they came from. the name for such workers is guest workers. they were often referred to as birds of passage in the early 20th centuries. let me give you a statistic here. of the 30 million immigrants in the united states between 1919 80, 10 million left. this defies our sense of american immigration history. most of us think that if you sail into the new york harbor and you go past the statue of liberty it is like you won the lottery. you think the land of the free and the american dream. no, a lot of people came, worked, save money and then went back home. this is possible because of this transportation revolution. so, their work was doing what? any economist will tell you that the labor market is basically divided into four parts. t

push through the goal all for being part of the united nations but before we can be a member of the united nations you know there are practical ways for taiwan to be able to make contribution for example in practical one as asians like what i see the u.n. at c.c.c. or w.h.o. it's even difficult for us to make a contribution but what is important for us is to seek opportunity for taiwan to be able to make contributions to the u.n. system and just so our views around the world understand your saying taiwan is a country yes of course. we have a president that is democratically elected and i just some see that. nung. state or none country that has a president and we also have a parliament that is also a democratically elected and we have our own currency system and we have the military and we also have a ministry of foreign affairs that issue visas and passport and that is being recognized by the international community and taiwan is a country just like all other countries in the world and what name should it be at the united nations. we are not getting into that right now taiwan's title is th

side the relationship the united states' relationship with prince muhammad and the future interaction between the united states and the saudi government in terms of the potential impact it can have on sanctions the impact on potential u.s. saudi weapons agreements in the future as well as continued u.s. support for saudi military for diet and yemen all right and coming to you chris so a very very strong message even if it's not binding a really strong message with some very very strong rip us language coming from the senators of both sides of the aisle a strong message to president trump in the white house will he listen. sure so this is something that is very difficult for any president to be in this is a position really between the morality of the united states and the realities of what the problems are currently in the middle east namely the threat and the violence of iran knowing that any type of destabilizing activity for example calling for regime change in the king of saudi arabia could lead to significant destabilisation which of course this is something that we just learned t

understand at the very complex structure of the united nations we have three main bodies of the united nations the social and an economic council the . security council and the general assembly the general assembly is the parliament of humanity is where the hundred and ninety three states are represented we all sit in the same seat we have the same microphone we all vote also it's the we and that the situation of hundred ninety three states but whatever is near and then we are poly the seasons we are the normative body of international law and the in the big responsibility on peace and security issues relies very much on the security council but the entire human family i think that we will ask you know every member state do you want to live in a peaceful world or in a chaotic and violent world they would say we want to be yes but they were say that tarmoh can call government to account the parliament can even sometimes bring governments down you can't do that you're a parliament but without any power is that not frustrate madame not your opinion that it's not mine in certainly not the

is happening in the united states where the u.s. senate is getting cold feet and it does not want to discuss. any possible cease fire or even ending american involvement in accompli that is of no national interest to the united states whatsoever well let me just come up with another quote from my own pail the kingdom of saudi arabia is a pall full force for stability. the suffering in yemen grieves me so he knows about the suffering of so i grieve but if the united states of america was not involved in yemen it would be a hell of a lot worse by force and stability deferred did he get the same wiki leaks leaks from hillary clinton's e-mails when she said that here in protest talking back to before and to each other said that saudi arabia is directly funding and supporting terrorists including isis al qaida the taliban are they had better go after the beginning of the progress of the matter you are going to but i did very well might just put it in a different wards he called it saudi arabia is helping to manage the flood of refugees f

bush and continue to bless the united states of america. amen. >> amen. >> 30 years ago, on the west front of this capital, george herbert walker bush addressed the nation for the first time as our president. he said, "we meet on democracy's front porch, a good place to talk as neighbors and as friends." the words of a humble servant, who loved his fellow citizens, and a leader who knew america not only guards our future, but safeguards democracy for the world. today, this hero has returned to the capital a final time, not on the front porch of our democracy, but in its hallowed cathedral. many paintings that tell the story of our land, and our liberty, and flanked by statues of fellow champions whom he joined in making that story possible. george bush was a teenager when he volunteered for military service and became the navy's youngest aviator. he was only 20 in 1944 when his plane was hit on a bombing run. through the fire, and smoke, george bush stayed steady at the controls. only once that he had accomplished his mission, did he parach

it definitely has an influence and in the united states any type of. tweet or statement from a person such as the president of the united states can have a tremendous effect on the stock market stock analyst or listening all the terms. the chairman of the federal reserve the president or other. people involved in political decisions what is going to be the future because they're all concerned about banking money and they think their ability to make money is going to depreciate because of some political decision they're going to try to move their money out of a particular market or into a particular market so they will live by these different signals coming from political elites who may please decisions so yes president trump's tweets can have a tremendous effect on the stock market they've already had an effect on the wireless stock situation by plunging it. so we'll have to see. what is the eventual outcome. every gore's international market and as regards china reacting trying to going to be quiet about this and try to resolve it. through the backdoo

or support unit. and we highlighted various amounts soldiers and branches of the military from that point up until the end, to the armistice. in this particular manikin scene, we really wanted to just show off how dirty world war i could be. when you're digging in the mud and trying to get underground as quickly as possible it was a perfect example of what these guys were dealing with when they were over there. so in this particular case we are just trying to show us army soldiers who without trying to prepare the trench line and he's obviously dirty. he's wearing his uniform, the sweater that he is wearing was probably stitched and knitted up by a volunteer organization, red cross, salvation army, one of those organizations. he is wearing a british inspired best which was called a african-americans Ãjerkin , and a leather outer shell with a blanket lined interior. the british really liked them because they provided warm, but also allowed freedom of movement. so our very first section in the exhibit

not what you expect the united states to do or what russia is doing, but what should the united states do in your view in syria? not in the next decade, who knows, but in the next couple of years. thank you. >> well, those are great series of points. i highly welcome your disagreement. let me first clarify what i meant, which is that while there are some fundamental core conflicts with russia, whatever you term to be russian success, in syria it's not a finished written story and does not mean the game is over for the united states, either what happens with iran and hezbollah. look over 2011 it may seem one way, but as i said this isn't over and it's not going to end and i don't see it ending in the future. i don't think the russian intervention has foreclosed in the long term a number of american objectives. now to the extent that your points on -- was there anything that russia did that was complimentary? i will have to disagree with you. first, i think you're wrong that russia did not contribute anything to u.s. campaign. it's not because russia came to fight isis in syria, it's bec
