the other frequently asked question from the afghan national security forces to talk about the national unity government in a way put together private ambassador. [laughter] before i give my judgment or say something you need to clarify one thing. the state of afghanistan as of the collective force we have invested treasures to create the state of afghanistan in and defend it at all cost. as far as the government is concerned there is one culture that we normally don't criticize our own government. the national governments is new although some would argue it has been tried before but what was tried twice before with slightly different the one was in the first government was created coming from two factions and the people argue it did not survive for more than a year. and the second to was the empty soviet union when they form that national unity government and it didn't take a year for the prime minister's to start fighting each other. but then we read in a totally different era. there was no prostitution now we do. and it is one of the best in the region. the national unity government

our economic and national security. today, as we confront fresh threats and dangers to our country, i am in no doubt that for britain, the european question is not just a matter of economic security but of national security, too. not just a matter of jobs and trade, but of the safety and security of our nation. equally, when europe and the european union accounts for half of our trade, it matters for our economic security that the european union is competitive and succeeds and promoting prosperity for its members. just as it matters to us that, while we are not part of the never willn my view, be, the eurozone is able to deal with his problems and to succeed. if it fails to do so, we will not be immune from the side effects. that is why almost three years ago, i set out the case for reform, reform that would benefit britain and benefit the entire e.u. i was clear that britain gains advantages from her membership of the e.u. but i was also clear that there are some major problems which need to be addressed. political lea

half of the nation's blue-ribbon trout streets streams go across the nations lands. changing climate conditions, hotter, drier summers, longer, more severe drought, increasing development in fire prone hires and past timber management policies has left many of our force did areas vulnerable. the practice of budget rating to fight fires significantly disrupts this for service and the very help of the force underneath its jurisdiction. ironically, the more money that is transferred or reallocated to fight fire, the less money that is available for restoration activities that would improve resiliency, and minimize the fires. we need to address two related problems, first the midseason, unplanned fire borrowing. second, the scope and scale of force restoration work. the solution to firefighter dean would allow access to disaster funding and address the increasing costs of suppression over time. the wildfire disaster funding act is the right solution to solve this problem. in addition, we must accelerate the scope and pace of restoration on our national forest lands. as m

national forests unlike national parks and refugees are supposed to be administers and managed to provide multiple uses and benefits. the forest service admits half the acres of the national forest system are at high risk of devastating insect infestations and catastrophic wildfires. we are now witnessing a significant decline in timber harvests and frivolous lawsuits holding active forest management and forest restoration projects. coupled with other threats such as chronic drought and uncharacteristic insect outbreaks, our national forests are sitting as hazardous stockpiles to wildfires. these catastrophic emergencies devastates landscapes, ecosystems, communitcommunities people. the 2014 form bill provided some valuable tools. the forest service has made positive strides in implementing these provisions, but we have to see more progress and work on the ground. this summer the administration warned congress, warned us, that wildfire suppression costs will consume the forest service appropriated budget in the coming years. wildfire suppression costs account for half of the agency's disc
