in the interim, the defense department could we task u.s. air force reaper uavs from central command and apply them to the pacific in a similar role. those who answer or might object that we should not accomplish one strategic theater to benefit another are right. both sitcom and indo pak, are essential u.s. interests -- the navy should have feasible proposition since the program has only just reached additional, initial operational capability. in the medium-term the navy should modify the stingray to serve as unmanned isr t platform, converting the unmanned carrier launched surveillance and strike program to the sievers, they carrier-based refueling system, was an intelligent organizational choice. the navy has lacked carrier air wing organic range extender since the early 2000s. since the retirement of the a six and f-14, carrier air wing strike shrunk. any strategy employing standup strikes will require an aircraft that shows the mq-25 role. by expanding its mission profile to include isrt with both increase u.s. navy capabilities and i b

with the questioning, joe gould covers congress for defense news. with your first question is john donnelly. john: first question i want to ask about is the national defense authorization act, the ndaa, which is expected to become law very soon. a marquee element of that legislation is the creation of a 6th branch of the u.s. military to be called space force, part of the air force like the marine corps is part of the navy.

now it was the defense's turn, and they would pick apart the defense's timeline, offering an alibi and an alternate suspect. so who was this new mystery person? here again is dennis murphy. >> reporter: the trial of david camm was underway in floyd county indiana. it was the winter of 2002. nervous to see that those men and women that will decide your fate? >> david camm, accused of murdering his wife and two young children, always insisted the case against him was built on quicksand. >> it's about them crafting and molding a belief that was totally founded on things that weren't factual. and it was just a complete fiction. >> reporter: david's defense attorney was mike mcdaniel, now deceased. he told us he had known david as a trooper. >> what impressions did you have of david before he became a client? >> uh, i figured he was another redneck state cop. we'd done a couple of cases together. him on one side, me on the other. >> reporter: but mcdaniel became convinced of david's innocence and came on board to defend him. >> this is one of those terrible cases that a defense lawyer never

defense contractors can look forwards to get a sizable piece of the action u.s. presence donald trump already thanks to japan for buying the u.s. equipment. japan's constitution prohibits it from buying offensive weapons still the island nation is one of the world's top customers for arms and weapons systems as more and more funds are devoted towards the fence japan's defense budget has jumped nearly 15 percent in less than a decade and now prime minister shinzo aves government wants to boost it by over one percent to $48600000000.00 that's a record expenditure but the government says it will be spent carefully on those who we need to enhance our defense capability to handle the security environment at the same time we also need to have an appropriate control over the defense expenditure so we will strive to make it more efficient you know blue to be here lou and. japan's growing defense budget is a boon for american arms makers tokyo buys weapons almost exclusively from the united states last year american arms imports were valued at $675000000.00. it's a deal i

with the questioning, joe gould covers congress for defense news. with your first question is john donnelly. john: first question i want to ask about is the national defense authorization act, the ndaa, which is expected to become law very soon. a marquee element of that legislation is the creation of a 6th branch of the u.s. military to be called space force, part of the air force like the marine corps is part of the navy. we know that china and russia are endangering military satellites in space. we know the importance of space as a realm, potentially as a war fighting realm, but talk to us why it's important to have a separate organization created, why the air force doesn't have the resources or commitment to get it done. rep. thornberry: i think the place to start is the importance of space for our daily lives as americans. one of the examples i use is every time you fill up your car to pay at the pump, the pump connects to a satellite to verify your credit card before it will let you put gas into the car. every transaction on the new york stock

military actions and protection in europe so that isn't changing the us defense dance in europe it's simply in every allocation of resources and that so i don't think we should be concerned about that and if you look at the press conference that president trump had with stoltenberg you see that president trump is very critical of the tone for his insults to nato causing these comments disrespectful and nasty president trump at the moment is showing himself and portraying himself as a commander in chief through his visit to afghanistan last week through his actions around the nato summit and he is adopting a much more normal tone he has extracted higher defense spending from many of the allies and was tweeting about this as his personal achievement he was saying that in the past he was very angry with nato but that is not where he seems to be today and so i think what we see instead is an evolution of president trump stance on nato i think he is able to see the particular changes that he wanted to see and now is in fact offended when other allies like president mccone are insulting th

reporter: defense secretary mark esper sat down with our own bret baier. he was asked about the motive of the pensacola shooter. here is what he said. >> i can't say terrorism at this time. we need to let the investigators and the fbi to do its work. and we'll move on from there. reporter: esper ruled out any large troop deployment despite reports otherwise. >> reports of troops moving to the middle east to counter iran. did that happen? >> no, those are false reports. i don't know where they came from. we deployed 14,000 troops since may of this year. but i'm not looking at any major deployments coming up in the region. >> i hosted a panel with the joint chiefs about how the military needs to pivot away from the middle east. >> our marine corps is built ideally or another desert shield, desert storm. it's not the force we are going need based on the vectors china and russia are going to. we need to helped weight and become a naval expeditionary force. reporter: i asked how they plan to protect u.s. from disinformation and cyber attacks. >> we are already

2018 national defense strategy. so, mr. esper, could you please tell us if, in fact, we are engaged in countering russia in the middle east? >> i think chairman smith said it, in his opening remarks that history matters so the relationship between russia and syria goes back to the cold war, with the ussr, that relationship in the post soviet russia was reinvigorated -- >> excuse me. the history lesson will take several months. >> i promise you get there in 20 seconds. it was reinvigorated with russia moves in under assad and began working closely with the syrian forces, so back to the question about the national defense strategy, the principal way that i see as countering russia is through our nato alliance to our partners. we've seen a lot of good success there, i was in london meeting last week, the nato allies are spending hundred 40 billion dollars more annually than they had before. >> can you please focus on syria and turkey? >> my biggest concern with the syria and turkey is actually turkey and russia, the co

saying basically that his country's banning to stop plans for defense for the baltics and poland if nato does not provide military assistance to turkey in its push against the s.d.f. in northeastern syria is this just a continuation of the strained relations between nato and turkey. you know when we look at the last several years we see that there are significant conflicts between some of the nato members and turkey is you know regarding the institution the 1st crisis erupted when certain nato members decided to dismantle patio myside defense system from turkey and transfer it to the eastern europe this was a kind of shock for turkey you know at a time when there was a huge political instability in iraq and in syria the 2nd one and more importantly. some of the nato members unfortunately have been supporting the syrian branch of p.k. k. which is recognized as a terrorist organization by most of european countries and the united states but they continue the insistently deny that there is a direct official link between why p.g. and p. k.k. so they continue to support why p.g. in northern s

the defense countered there was no evidence linking sandra to the crime. in fact, she was tied up in the closet at the time. but was she? the prosecution was about to unveil a stunning theory. how sandra pulled off an elaborate and deadly hoax. here's dennis murphy with the conclusion of "unspeakable." >> reporter: sandra melgar's defense attorneys had tried to portray the murder investigation as seriously flawed. but perhaps their most persuasive au persuasive argument was sandra herself. she didn't testify but "the houston chronicle" brandon rogers said her muted appearance spoke volumes. >> she sort of comes across that way as -- >> kind of frail? >> small. >> depending on a cane? >> you'd have a hard time believing she could even yell much less stab anyone. >> and how could that same petite woman have managed, as the prosecution contended, to wedge a chair beneath the doorknob of the closet she was already inside? and beyond that bind her own hands and feet? the prosecution had an answer for those hudeany like skills. >> she definitely prepared for thi

out front tonight the breaking news no defense. president trump's legal team will not participate in house impeachment proceedings. democrats had offered the president and his team the chance to attend the hearings, ask questions, raise objections, request consequences, and make a closing statement. but trump said no. minutes before the deadline tonight yes or no, defend or not, white house lawyer pat cipollone sending a authority two-paragraph letter writing in part, quote, your impeachment inquiry is completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fund mebl fairness. well, nadler fired back saying having declined this opportunity he cannot claim the process is unfair. house intelligence committee adam schiff weighing in saying the white house said they wanted open hearings, not closed, and then they didn't want those. then they said they wanted to participate in the proceedings and now they don't. all they want is to hide the president's serious misconduct. it's not working. those are the partisan points.

"sympathy for the devil" comes on the sound system and you say -- hey, that's the -- that's our theme song here. that's what we're going for. that's what you wanted. sympathy for the devil. >> when i looked at the case that the state presented it was pretty obvious to me they saw her sleeping client as the devil. so, yeah, i thought it was apropos. i thought it was appropriate. not because i think he's the devil. because they sure did. the state absolutely thoug

there's also a case against the department of defense. and they are, the government is said as it does here, private plaintiffs can enforce that. the d.c. circuit found it certainly true that the private plaintiffs in that case were not regulated by the statute. and it was not for their benefit. it was for the benefit of the public for us in congress appropriations control. nonetheless, what matters is the congruence of the interest between the challenger and congress. and there was no question that the plaintiff was a suitable challenger. because of seeking accomplish exactly what congress was trying to accomplish which was enforce the instructions on the executive misusing appropriated funds. hereto, there's no meaningful way in which our interest can divert from congress the further as your questioning is shown, no one else can come into this court with the government would agree within the zone of interest and enforce the government moving a billion dollars out of military retirement money they're simply no one who can do that. if the

the defense department can re- task u.s. air force and cube nine from central command and deploy them to the pacific in a similar role. those who answer or might object that we should not have one strategic theater to benefit another are right. both are essentially an intere interest. the navy should also consider increasing its projected and q4 c3 since the end q4 c3 program capability. it's unmanned platform. inverting the unmanned carrier launched surveillance and strike program to the c bars, the carrier based. the navy has lacked carrier air wing or range extender since the early 2000's. since our retirement of the asics and f-14 carrier air wing strike strong. any strategy employing standoff strikes would require an aircraft to show the mq25's role. by expanding its missions profile to include isr t would both increase capabilities and i believe we've already extreme cross. they emphasize long-range centers rather than speed. thereby avoiding the difficulties the program encountered. ironic characteristic of strategy,

in conclusion, as the department of defense continues to implement the national defense strategy the ability of the middle east remains important to our nation's security and we will continue to calibrate all our actions to deter conflict to avoid unintended escalation and enable our partners to defend themselves against regional aggressors and in doing so we will preserve the e gains of the past and ensure our vital interests. >> chairman milley . >> ranking member thornberry, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the national security challenges we face in the middle east and before i begin i'd like to echo secretary esper's condolences to the victims of the families of the shootings in pearl harbor and pensacola. on behalf of the leaders both uniformed andcivilian in the military , our thoughts and prayers are with the fallen and we are thankful for the heroism and skill of the first responders who put themselves in harm's way. on the topic in the middle east i just returned a few days ago from an eight country visit to israel, jordan, saudi arabia, bahrain, kuwait, afghanis

when president obama left, the defense budget was $61 billion. this defense budget is $120 billion more. than what president obama left us with. that could fund free public college for every american. it could fund access to high speed affordable internet for every american. but it's worse. the bipartisan provision to stop the war in yemen, stripped by the white house. the bipartisan amendment to stop the war in iran, stripped by the white house. the bipartisan provision to repeal the 2002, george w. bush authorization for the war in iraq which is sending our troops overseas, stripped by the white house. at some time we can't just rhetorically give standing ovations when the president says we're going to end endless wars and continue to vote to fund them. it wasn't just president george w. bush who committed the biggest blunder of foreign policy in the 21st century by sending us to iraq. it was the abdication of this body with many members of congress who voted right with him. my question is, when are we going to listen to the american people? wh

took the step of sending an official reprimand of defense spending in october. why does the government still have no plan of that 2%? >> we increased our defend spending by 70% since we took office and announced there was a secure strong engage plan over this ten years. it is going to ensure that the men and women in the forces have the equipment and the ability to do the work that canadians expect of them and people around the world expect. we consistently stepped up and consistently contributing and increasing the investments that we want to do. good afternoon and thank you very much. we have had a productive and successful meeting today and we and was agreed amongst all of us that after its foundation in london. it's true to say that nato as it made successful and it did not guarantee peace and prosperity of a billion people around the world and 29 countries and will shortly be 30 in macedonia if they are joining. it is attested to the fundamental reason for success of their lands and is based on the idea of solidarity in the defense of our values and freedom

the defense ministry gave the people concerned every possibility to delete as messes and messages the german defense ministry hasn't exactly made things crystal clear with its statement on the phone data being deleted the types of communication and official mobile phones that are subject of interest for the investigation committee are covered by evidence decisions the federal ministry of defense provides the committee of inquiry with all existing documents relating to the subject of the investigation this is far from over the investigation continues and as long as it does has the potential to throw mud on angle americans christian democratic union party who are in overall charge and ursula fall into line herself which could well spell a short honeymoon period for the new e.u. commission president as the media and eventually her colleagues in brussels question how involved in these payments she was one thing is for sure silence and the deleting of data is only going to raise more questions peter all of a r.t. berlin. now the rock musician turned political activist roger waters has a lo

spending but defense operations as well so again just just circling back to that i think one of the other challenges with this amount of money is it's basically intangible to the average american citizen on the one hand it's the end of the year it's the holidays people are paying close attention to these spending bills in the specifics that are in them but also when you put that number out there again it's $738000000000.00 the average person can't grasp just how much money that really is that is such an astronomical amount and i think if we perhaps had some some more conversations about just how much money that really is and get people to understand more than maybe they would demand more accountability of our members of congress and the department of defense in terms of how we allocate that money and how it's spent you mentioned space force earlier and i kind of want to. know we're getting there 6 branch of the military you know kind of against that i want to ask you and kind of explore that more why it why are you looking about saying we don't need it 6 or another branch of the mil

defense was a routine traditional type defense. we set out roadblocks to the east, one to the north, and one to the northwest, because these were the directions that we expected the germans to attack us. the fighting throughout the night was sporadic. it was a piecemeal attack. they would has with small units from the north and then they would hit us with small units from the east.

because they purchased that russian missile defense system. we've heard the president say time and time again that essentially turkey had no choice, he says, but to buy it because the obama administration was preventing them from buying an american missile defense system. but john, experts say that's not true. they say actually turkey not only wanted to buy the missile defense system but wanted to be able to have technology transfer. which essentially would have allowed them to build their own missiles and the u.s. did not want that to happen. that is why it didn't happen. but the president is saying they stopped them from buying it. macron pushed back saying they could have bought one from the europeans if they wanted to, but instead they chose to defy nato. now, another point of contention you saw yesterday was macron saying that he and the president have a very different agreement on what constitutes a terrorist group. as you've seen what the turks have tried to do so far in the last few weeks, something that's been under scrutiny where aft

has taken an aggressive stance on cyber defense with the north. the defense. to the capabilities continue grow and they continue to wage cyber attacks. legal actions do not deter the regime. suggests -- they impose upon other countries to dismantle the digital forces within their territory. we should develop a cyber task force for combined strategy to prepare options. the alliance should create a cyber defense umbrella that declares a cyber effect -- attack will trigger obligations under the treaty. implement it comprehensive sanctions regime and 2017 was the height of the regime and forced kim jong-un to experiment in the experimental -- in the diplomacy implemented by both moon and trump. but following the singapore summit, there has been an erosion of sanctions enforcement. there has been some success in evading sanctions. highlighted a handful of the conference of list of recommendations. initiativeighlight and initiate a pressure czar. initiate chinese banks who are not implementing sanctions fully provision the sanctions after north korea. we need to tar

i am waiting for the president to mount his defense. mr. president, mount your defense. that is what -- i'm all ears. when he comes to the senate and mounts his defense. >> there is a possibility you could vote to acquit him what is i hear you saying maybe? >> no, that is not what i'm saying at all. we have on one side is all of the factual evidence on the house side that led to the articles of impeachment. we have that. we had taylor, we had even mulvaney although he didn't testify, we have all the factual evidence. what i want to hear from the president is, what are his defenses? does he have an explanation that exonerates him? short of that i'm going to vote on the basis of the facts and the facts are that he committed an impeachable act and i will vote to convict him. >> this is of interest to your constituents in the state of hawaii why you're from, another member of your delegation, tulsi gabbard, the only member to vote present on the impeachment proceedings on both of those articles. i'm wondering your reaction to that? >> apparently she can't decide whether it's

and dedespite all the good things i can say about that defense counsel, the defense of judge portious in that impeachment trial did not go well. i'll show you what i mean. what you will see here is the defense lawyer for judge portious who is a person you will recognize, and you will see the prosecutor in this case. remember after the house impeaches somebody -- in the house of representatives, that's where they draw out the articles of impeachment and vote whether or not they're going to impeach somebody. but then when the goes to moving from the house over to the senate for the trial, well, it turns out it's members of congress, its the impeachment managers from the house, the people who oversaw the process of bringing articles of impeachment against the federal official who oversaw the process of them getting impeached in the house on the basis of those articles. the impeachment managers from the house, the actual members of congress come over to the senate and they act as the prosecutors in the impeachment trial. so this is from george portious' impeachment trial in the senate. wa

to the defense budgets with the uk that exceeds. for the readiness initiative, yes they will be deployed as a part of that list but they will also be capable of deployment as well. especially for that purpose. >> i want to say something about china. it has to be the strategic partner or the enemy for nato. >> i certainly don't think that's the second thing, and though there was no support for that idea. people thought it was right we should build a partnership but also be aware of the challenges china presents particularly when it comes to areas of high technology that would be a fair characterization of the discussion. just to clarify you suggested something. do you say no we should d nobodo do that or yes we will? >> our legal system makes it very difficult for us to secure convictions and to go back to what i said earlier, people go back to break to sort of fight the terrorist organizations. >> when did you decide the criteria, and if that is the case, why has the government been in capable of making the decision before? >> we ar

but i also think on the defensive briefing that could also be true. when the report first comes out, they said the fisa warrant was warranted based on other information. then john durham who is doing the larger report says i disagree but i will have more to say later. that's a missing piece of all this. >> are we fair to question the decision of the court? >> i've never been a fan of pfizer, i got to look at it up close and personal, and i think everything that's happened here demonstrates -- and i want to be clear about this. i'm not saying that the executive branch doesn't need oversight, far from it. i think we need searching oversight and that oversight ought to be done by congress and not the courts. that's the executive function which is protection of the united states. you are putting the court impossible position, leaving politics aside, and we think al qaeda is going to be -- it's about to go up manhattan. do you want to be the judge to tell them that you can't have their warrant when they are the guys closest to the information and they are

actually, the defense was a routine traditional type defense. we set out roadblocks to the east, one to the north, and one to the northwest, because these were the directions that we expected the germans to attack us. the fighting throughout the night was sporadic. it was a piecemeal attack. they would hit us with small units from the north and then they would hit us with small units from the east. [shooting] [bomb blasts] >> cherry, who is not here, went out to one town and came back at midnight and found me asleep. he -- asleep. he asked that he be allowed to sit on a road out east because he had found a combat command, ccr of the ninth armored division in position, 10 or 12 tanks, a colonel and some artillery. i gave him permission to stay where he was. cherry never got back to his commands. in -- command. in the meantime, some of the panzer division had cut in behind his outfit and he never joined. however, his headquarters went into a little chateau. or twojerry had a take tank or two and a few machine guns and his whole headquarters compan
