this region is not only important to the united states. it's essential for the united states and it will continue to provide enormous opportunities and as an export destination for u.s. goods and services. most importantly, it's an opportunity for u.s. innovation where the united states clearly still has a massive economic advantage. within the next two years australia wases to have a network of free trade agreements and a forward-negotiating agenda which covers 40% of our global trade. we already have in place, as i said, free trade agreements with seven of our top ten, two-way trading partners and obviously, there is a big focus on the indo-pacific. having recently concluded negotiations of a bilateral free trade agreement with peru, we are currently negotiating a free trade agreement with the pacific alliance. singapore, canada and new zealand are doing the same. the region is not standing still and it will not wait. we are also very engaged in the negotiation of the regional comprehensive economic partnership which includes 16 indo-pac

(foreign chanting) - the united states was worried that the revolutionary rhetoric of communism, that called for a worker revolt, would essentially overturn the sort of established more liberal market oriented border in europe. - we planted ourselves in europe and we said we are going to maintain a bridge head, freedom in democracy in europe and we're gonna protect it from soviet encroachment. and we held that line until the collapse of the soviet union. and then we expanded the western alliance, nato, the european union, all these institutions, we expanded them eastward into the former communist countries. - [narrator] washington is the largest shareholder in the international monetary fund and the world bank, giving it massive sway over the global economy. - these particular monetary institutions were enshrined after the second world war, and they are very much tied up in this notion that with better commercial ties, also comes more peace. - we were able to create a single international political and economic space in which economic and social, any one development could proceed much

yes united the united states is very concerned. but at the same time it also said it is not part of their implements as it were. they are not really in a position to convene. because they disagree with that view and they feel the united states should he doing much more to end its campaign and the united states on the one hand expresses concern has not said stop. there are kerger's anxieties about the commitment of the united states to their security. as for you know the united states saying well secretary tillerson said recently they are going to be staying on for a number of reasons and my colleagues just ran through some of them. i think saying that but not matching that with any real action and specifically what we just countered a rainy and influence of course again raises questions. that puts them in a very difficult position because by presenting them as allies in its i ran against the regime without permitting the resources for doing any of that really makes them extremely vulnerable. in fact we are not just talking anymore

kurdistan allied to the united states and the united states has just announced they will continue funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars peshmerga forces and you know arctic air does so there are actually patients of iraq created on the ground both u.s. presence and iraqi forces which are allied to them or our proxy forces to them so an iraqi government is subjected to this massive u.s. presence they still. the biggest embassy in the world by the way and baghdad so there is that you actually influence in obviously the other countries of influence in iraq as well to thing all our neighbors if you like ok but it is president a little term hasn't acquiesced to tory's amazed to say bomb damascus in border in iraq would bring syria well terrorism may obviously what they sometimes do successive british governments actually is is really behave more royalist time they came to feel like if that is a metaphor that could that i could use when it comes to us foreign policy they often the us policy they go beyond these very badly to justify it this has been unfortunately britain's role

it's very unfair to the united states, and it's very unfair to the workers of the united states, very, very unfair. even today it's extremely hard on companies that want to do business in china because the barriers are incredible. whereas the barriers coming into our country are foolishly not. if they do something to us, we do something to them. well, that never happened. and it's gotten worse and worse over the years, but we'll correct it. that can be the only thing that can get in the way of a truly long-term, great relationship because we have all the great ingredients for friendship. from the washington examin"the gabby. >> thank you, mr. president. your chief of staff general kelly has recommended ending the practice of granting interim security clearances to members of the trump administration. would you will willing to grant a waiver to jared kushner? >> jared's done an outstanding job. he's been treated very unflarl. he's a high quality person. he works for nothing so nobody ever reports that, but he gets zero. he doesn't get a salary, nor do does ivanka. she's in korea right

that is the fixed policy of the united states of america. as president trump has said many times, i always believe in talking. we have made it very clear that we are open to communicating our policy to the regime in north korea. what north korea needs to understand, as i made clear in an announcement in japan, when we announced a new round of sanctions that will be imposed, the largest ever. we are confident our allies will join us on it. nothing will change until the day comes that north korea permanently abandons its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and ceases to threaten the united states of america. mike: it does not sound like those two things are preconditions for any conversation. it looks like when you are looking at the tools in your belt, you are talking about more talking. vice pres. pence: it is accurate to say that we want to make sure north korea understands us. if there is an opportunity for talks that can communicate the fixed policy of united states of america to them, the president has made it clear. he always

and the european challenge to the united states was if the united states really wanted to walk the walk, the united states should take this as its own area. if you guys talked about armenia for all these years and how awful the turks were, take over the mandate for armenia. take it over for palestine. put skin in the game. do what we're doing. take on the burden of operating these parts of the world. i can talk about it more if you want but i'm going to skip ahead to what bliss thought about this. bliss understood the odds of the united states coming into this part of the world and making it better were really slim. all the ideals, all the good ideas, all the wonderful things in wilson's 14 points and in other documents simply weren't going to work. bliss said this, it seems that certain promises were made to the arabs. referring to promises by the british to take all that stuff and make one arab federation out of it. in the early days of the war and now they are so unkind to insist on these prompts being fulfilled, the consequences that the matter be arbitrated by the united states. i

states willing to go along with this engagement here because the united states has an awful lot at stake with its presence in south korea and its own not only about north korea's nuclear program go ahead brian. i believe that we're at a pivotal moment because the attempt by the south korean government the moon giant government came about as a consequence of very popular uprising that over. or through to mentally and led to the impeachment of the last conservative government poc and he. wants to have a rapprochement a lessening of tensions and possibly the beginning of real reconciliation on the korean peninsula between north and south korea this happened as happened in the past that happened certainly in the year two thousand madeline albright was dispatched by bill clinton to pyongyang canned john went and met with kim jong il who is kim jong un's father then head of north korea but when there was taking place at that time it was with washington's blessing and as a consequence we see right now and this is why i consider this to be a pivotal moment it's a test of whether or not the south

it's not fair to the united unfair to it's very the workers of the united states. very, very unfair. today, it's extremely hard on companies that want to business in china, because the barriers are incredible, barriers coming into our country are foolishly not. foolishly. believe in reciprocal trade. if they do something to us, we something to them. never happened. and it's gotten worse and worse over the years but we'll correct it that can be the only thing get in the way of a truly long term great relationship, because we ever ingredients for our friendship. examiner -- ington gabby. >> if that proceeds would you be to ing to grant a waiver gerd kushner, or one of the senior advisers? resident trump: gerd has done outstanding job. he gets zero, he doesn't get a salary. ivanka, who is now in south korea, long trip, country, and we cannot get a better representative. fact, the first lady, melania was telling me what a great impression she made this morning landed in south korea. is truly outstanding. he was very successful when he was in the private sector. working

in the united states and there were been school shootings . elsewhere there's been a couple in germany over the past ten years seventeen and sixteen were shot by by teenagers there's been of course beslan was a terror attack can you had a terror attack other countries rio had a young man who killed students so it's not unique only to the united states with guns in schools but i think in this country. the liberals on the left there are adverse to to to letting teachers who are willing to be trained and wanted to undertake the responsibility to to have a gun in the classroom in their desk or on their person to prevent something like this or to make it less of a catastrophe. the zone schools shopping malls where these mass shooters strike they're gone free zones which means the shooter knows i'm going to be able to walk in here and i'm going to have all day until a cop shows up to just shoot and reload and keep shooting because nobody is allowed to have a gun for self defense i think that needs to change in our schools so what specifically needs

bad blood between iran and the united states is one of the reasons why the united states wants to keep a footprint there it really is quite amazingly doing the bidding of riyadh in tel aviv all the time because there is now absolutely no strategic interest of the united states or the anyone in the european union about syria and i think that. it's always misguided the more they listen to riyadh in detail of the the opposite happens iran's influence continues to expand when are they going to learn go ahead in a year that's true iran has in some ways benefited from the disasters wreaked on the middle east by the us in the last few decades but i would completely disagree that europe and the us have no interest in containing iran or destroying syria the us certainly does and the west in general and especially britain and the usa do are very concerned as i said drive the outset to destroy any independent or potentially independent force in the global south of. israel and saudi arabia the. bulldogs if you like of western power in the middle east the watchdogs keeping that area basically under

sponsored preference and 557,000 people came to the united states as an immediate relative between 60 and 70% is family -based roots. >> i think those are divided clearly the vast majority is dithe immediate relative or of minor children and their parents on those minor children even in the 20s trying to create immigration laws based on racial origin they still respected family reunification and migration. >> the president refers to unlimitedef numbers but are there caps currently how many can come in as part of the program? >> there is no numerical limit that you can support yourself but in terms of the family sponsored system mentioning 238,000 there are numerical caps. for those that are older than 21 for the category of minor children that cap is at 88000 per year but the unmarried sons and daughters without cap a 26000 per year 23400 per year in those brothers and sisters but the result of this combined has resulted in the long wait time for the brothers and sisters category that are faithfully getting their green card now they have been in line for over 20 years. >> good morning

frankly the united states is under attack. under attack identities using cyberto penetrate virtually every major action that takes place in the united states. from u.s. businesses to the federal government, the united states is threatened by cyberattacks every day while russia, china, iran and north korea pose the greatest cyberthreat other nationstates, terrorist organizations, transnational criminal organizations are ever more technically capable groups and individuals use cyberoperations to achieve strategic and maligned objectives. some of these at yours, including russia are late lead to do even more aggressive cyberattack would cyberattack with the intent of degrading our democratic values and weakening our alliances. persistent and disruptive against her european allies using elections those opportunities to undermine democracy, undermine our values. the cyberattack capabilities will continue to support china's national security and economic priorities. iran will try to penetrate u.s. allied networks for espionage and l

believe the glitch in the computer that mistook a sunrise for a nuclear watch by the united states we have played with fire for seventy five years with these nuclear weapons and if we continue to do this it's going to be the end of our species that's what beatrice fan of the international campaign for the abolition of nuclear weapons warned just a couple months ago at the nobel prize ceremony we either abolish these weapons or they will abolish us that's what's at stake here. one of the things that if we get these lower grade weapons don't you think that's going to entice countries for example south korea japan and saudi arabia i mean if you can play with little nukes ok that's not so bad ok i mean it what is it normalizes nucular weapons for a second tier powers i mean how does that make the world safer i can understand it and maybe brazil and you know argentina will get in the act to i mean the united states has said a positive precedent the only country in the world to ever use nuclear weapons against a civilian population a country that didn't have those weapons you're going backw

kingdom government or through united states as they call it usa and this is actually. as they say sold into injury that you kill these people and you make money from it and then you get one percent into to support yemenis and i've just seen i think a week ago that was her account of the u.k. ambassador to yemen who has never been to yemen during the war he is based in the early and riyadh and he was saying about two. embassy is doing to collect money for yemeni and they have collected about two to three thousand pounds. to eight yemeni just imagine three thousand pound yemeni to help them and the media and the united kingdom on as well the u.k. government is only folks in about this few thousand pounds that they are given into yemen and they keep in a blind eye about like billions of dollars they are make an improv it from supporting the saudi and this is really really sickening. many people because it's a symbol if you want to help yemeni people stop supporting the saudi just just like that we do need your aid we do need your help we need not need this before the war

owed the united states $2 million. the united states tried for 20 years to get that money back and decided to go to war in 1846 and as compensation they got compensation for that -- for those debts and the name of that compensation is california, utah, nevada, new mexico, part of oklahoma and basically 500,000 square miles of mexican territory. now, this is not the way -- when the united states did this it was not acting as a rogue imperial power it was acting as what responsible states did and that is because the old war order gave state it is war of war and right of conquest. in addition to right of conquest states had another right. if they had the right to go to war, they had the right to threaten to go to war. now, this is incredibly important because this undergrows the practice that we now call diplomacy. as many of you know, in 19th century japan was excluded -- excuse me secluded and excluded with the exception of the dutch twice a year from trading with japan. the united states and other western powers were v

states in the year was 1924, calvin coolidge was president of theon united states. we had just seen the end of world war i and there was a growing fear that because of all the damage done in europe europeans would come tos the united states and there was also a concern that the wrong people were coming to the united states in thed, eyes of the members of some of congressman immigration act of 1924 past and it said quotas for countries and set quotas for peta people and it was expressly designed to exclude certain people from around the world from entering the united states of america. it is a notorious piece of legislation and those who were to be excluded excluded from america included people from italy,te eastern europe, japan, asia and jewish people. that was the immigration policy of united states of america because of that bill in 1924. that's the last time this chamber has made t such a dramac cut in legal immigration to america and it was a source of sembarrassment for decades in te united states has established quotas said we want america to look a lot diffe

the women were promised a better life in the united states. but with that promise came a large bondage debt of anywhere between $40,000 and $60,000. the women were told after they worked off their debt, they would become united states and citizens. him and the recruiters who met with them in thailand were friendly, helpful, and made the future in the united states sound bright. they brought them to photography studios in bangkok to take professional quality, escort-style photographs, which ultimately were sent to traffickers here in the united states and used to advertise the victims for sex online. the traffickers encouraged the women to get breast implants in bangkok in an effort to make the women more appealing to men in the united states. the cost of the cosmetic surgery of course was added to the victims' bondage debt. when the women arrived in the united states, everything changed. they were essentially held prisoner in prostitution houses and only allowed to leave is accompanied by an employee of the organization. the women were forced

you make the united states proud. madam president, the whole debate that we are now undertaking over immigration, and the dreamers, has become somewhat personal to me because it has reminded me in a very strong way that i and my brother are first-generation americans. we are the sons of an immigrant who came to this country at the age of 17 without a nickel in his pocket. a young man who was a high schoolro dropout, who did not kw one word of english and who had no particular trade. and if you use go my brother and i and our families went to the small town that he came from, and it just stuns me, the kind of courage that he showed, and millions of other people showed, leaving their homeland to come to a very different world without money in many cases, without knowledge of the language. now, my father emigrated to this country because the town that he lived in in poland was incredibly poor. there was no economic opportunity for him jerk people they are struggled to provide food, put food on the table for the families.

parliament of the united states. we understand we're not the united states of europe and we don't have a federal response to it. i'm delighted to say we have guest officers fed by u.s. intelligence from tse which is making the border safer for the u.s. in greece and italy. my question -- >> nypd too right? >> nypd as well. it's a broad question and i would like one answer if you can. where do you think europe from your visits and inspections, where does the shoe pinch, where do you think that we need to go -- we're doing what we can post the attacks and we've had the battle clan, charlie -- and attacks on people and americans and jewish community, targeted attack it is. we had others in the middle east. if you have one area that you think we can focus on not just p and o but somewhere you think we can improve in terms of cooperation with the united states? >> i just got back from there a couple of months ago on a delegation and i went to one a couple of years ago. when i went to one a couple of years ago before thing

states so it's pretty clear the tensions are rising and questions are being raised and the united states with its two allies turkey and the kurdish fighters is really stuck in a strange situation where the goals of its policy are not exactly clear lie from.

i don't think the united states can be blamed for nine eleven and i don't think the united states can be blamed for creating this problem i think that there are regional players and regional dynamics that play afghanistan as a victim of geography and that means jew political. movements in dynamics play a huge role in have an impact on what is happening inside afghanistan if you look at afghanistan history it's all about is geography now if i may mr. sharon as your question. creative means that we have to set up an end goal the end goal is peace the end goal is to belittle insecure. pretty therefore it means that we do reach that goal so far we have tried as i said before a lot of different options have been put under mr bush and. mr obama in the new set of options with mr trump. so how do we reach the law i want guess we have a live online community as well in this conversation so just pulls from it i can bring them back in many cases and you mention the end goal being peace and of course before we get to peace though there are people living their daily lives and struggling with that

to create if we all could use or so ok so the united states. i mean it began that the us is exporting democracy in lino in liberalism i'm sorry it's a nice it's a fairy tale but it's not just for the border force go ahead dan go ahead they might have wanted to they might have wanted to create a little basically syria and kosovo why p.g. areas in syria lead to a partition and it was actually not so much the announcement the border force but the announcement of the two thousand us troops the announcement by tillerson that the two thousand u.s. troops were basing going to stay there effectively permanently i mean the wish list of what you wanted to achieve was made it a fact of permanent they're not going to have any of those things anytime soon so that was what really told the turks look they're basically going to stay us power and on the ground presence is going to establish basically an independent state within a state and of course they could find that as i say ok so that partition was one possible way to destroy the syrian state but the kurds

but i think the united states know that, it is symbolic. president trump mentioned phase two, a second option, a military option, suggests the seriousness. if i had to choose between more aggressive sanctions or a limited strike or what is referred to as a bloody nose option, i definitely would choose the former. now, china is saying that this will hurt china— us relations. do you think that's accurate? china has always corroborated with the united states when and to the degree that it benefits chinese national interest —— has always corroborated. they have never done any thing more just because the united states has asked them to orfor the because the united states has asked them to or for the sake of a bilateral relationship. i understand china saying that it will be harmful, but in my view, the chinese are going to continue to cooperate for it suits them and they won't cooperate when it doesn't. have you been keeping an eye on the olympics in pyeongchang, i wonder‘s do you think anything will come out of that seeming slight thawi

states willing to go along with this and gauge meant here because the united states has an awful lot at stake with its presence in south korea and its own not only about north korea's nuclear program go ahead brian well peter i believe that we're at a pivotal moment because the attempt by the south korean government the moon giant government that came about as a consequence of very popular uprising that overthrew to minutely and led to the impeachment of the last conservative government and he. wants to have a rapprochement lessening of tensions and possibly the beginning of real reconciliation on the korean peninsula between north and south korea this happened as happened in the past that happened certainly in the year two thousand madeline albright was dispatched by bill clinton to pyongyang candidate john went and met with kim jong il who is kim jong un's father then head of north korea but when there was taking place at that time it was with washington's blessing and as a consequence we see right now and this is why i consider this to be a pivotal moment it's a test of whether or

qatar has been cooperative and helpful ally for the united states for the last decades. it's not something new. and the u.s. government knows this and recognizes this. >> thanks you. amir, "newspaper israel." there have been a wave of meetings with jewish theaters with the amir and other leaders of qatar. each one of them after those meetings said they asked the leadership of qatar to change the coverage of al jazeera towards israel. has qatar given any reassurance that there will be a change in al jazeera's coverage of this issue? >> well, regarding the visit of different -- from different parties from the u.s. societies are coming to qatar and visiting us. we don't distinguish between religious background or ethnicity background. all of them are welcome and we are building a good relationship with them. regarding al jazeera coverage, qatar's constitution it's very clear that the government should not interfere in the media, but al jazeera also should comply with the international standards and any code of conduct. there are clear mechanisms if anyone is complaining abo

to some extent people would say that it has happened here in the united states. you see it in europe, and viktor orban in hungary, there are questions about poland as well. - those who won the cold war believe that their model had triumph and it just turned out that others didn't agree. they liked parts of it, they liked the capitalist part, they liked the trade part, they liked the technology part, they don't necessarily like the democratic part. they may not like the migration part. - i think the biggest rejection of the post world war world order is actually within america itself. - [narrator] the election of president trump came amid a rise of global populism that saw a surge of enthusiasm for far right nationalist leaders. - you take these four things together, economic stagnation, large scale immigration, unmediated social media, and creaky old sclerotic governants and what you have is a recipe for populism on a world stage. - one of the things that has been striking about the last 10 years is the rise of identity politics in the western liberal democratic

anything else is justified including bringing over 1500 x nazis to the united states. the reason was called paperclip interestingly is because whenever there was a file, they thought that the americans in particular were interested and they would put up paperclip on one corner of the dossier. that would signal to have was looking at it that the prison was important. and the person was worthwhile. secondly, it told them, not look too deep into this persons record if they are a nazi or have some other criminal element to them. because we need them. simply saying, do not investigate this person too much. which i think is the hardest why the paperclip is controversial. because so many will brought over with those backgrounds. >> obviously, there have been tremendous breakthroughs in atomic energy. but we were not nearly as advanced in the aeronautics as the germans had seemed to be. the germans invented a fuel based long-range rocket which did little to help them win the war. in fact it was a terror weapon but the technology was identified as something that if mass-produce

all across the united states. these were people, young people, brought to the united states by their parents, in a very early age, and they were going to be given chance to stay here, two years at a time, and not be deported and be able to legally work. who are these young people? 91% of them currently in school or working. we know as well 20,000 of them have graduated from college and are teaching in our schools. grade schools, high schools. we know that 900 of them, even though they are undocumented, volunteered to serve in the united states military and are currently in uniform, willing to risk their lives for this country that has not accepted them at citizens. the list goes on. they're premed students, they're in first responder status, they're doing some pretty extraordinary things. but president trump announced last september 5th that the program that allowed them to stay in the united states was coming to an end, when? in three weeks, march 5th this year. what happens if congress fails to do anything? befo

churchill is asking fdr to bring the program and the scientists over to the united states. and fdr agrees to that. within two months' time, two baloys has gone and the manhattan project was born out of that. we know they're discussing this down at springwood, frommemoirsh margaret daisy's diary entries of that day. she sets the mood at top cottage. while she doesn't necessarily spell out the words that were said, she talks about the visit which occurred at about 4:00 that afternoon at top cottage, and she said, the "p" and mr. "c" seemed very distracted, like they had the weight of the world on their shoulders. we all waited for them to speak. we may never know the exact words that were said up here, but if there was any place to have a conversation of that magnitude, this was the place to do it. the press was not allowed up here. there was no telephone. there was no outside communication whatsoever. this was a place to keep a secret. this was a place where you're dealing with the stresses of the presidency and everything that's going on in washington. you know, the only pr

it's not fair to the united states and it's very unfair to the workers of the united states. very, very unfair. and even today, it's extremely hard on companies that want to do business in china, because the barriers are incredible, where as the barriers coming into our country are foolishly not. foolishly. i believe in reciprocal trade. if they do something to us, we do something to them. well, that never happened. and it's gotten worse and worse over the years but we'll correct it that can be the only thing that can get in the way of a truly long term great relationship, because we ever all the ingredients for our friendship. from the washington examiner -- gabby. >> your chief of staff has recommended ending the practice of granting temporary clearances. if that proceeds would you be willing to grant a waiver to jared kushner, or one of the senior advisers? president trump: jared has done an outstanding job. he gets zero, he doesn't get a salary. nor does ivanka, who is now in south korea, long trip, representing her country, and we cannot get a better representative. in f

of the united states. why was that change made? well, some say it was merely a stylistic change because the framers didn't know which of the 13 states would actually ratify so they hedged their bets by keeping it more concise plus that was shorter and others disagree and say the change to we, the people of the united states, was the tangible expression of james wilson's belief that we the people of the united states as a whole are sovereign, not we the people of the individual states. there are another series of really important changes, congressional power is altered. congress has the power to declare rather than make war. the presidential term is finally four years and they eliminated the term limits of the seven-year term, plus it's election by the electoral college and that was the compromise wilson wasn't able to get popular election which was what he wanted so the electoral college was considered, a group of wise delegates who because they would actually know the best candidates would be able to exer

her entire life she's lived here in the united states -- here, the united states is her home. she grew up living the american dream like any other american citizen. she celebrates the same traditions, ate the same food, enjoyed the same active to -- activities that any of her friends. throughout her education she always had been a good student and always very active, not just school activities but also with the community. she has been in girl scouts since the age of 4. played both soccer and volleyball for many years and now is a high school student. nicole spent many hours volunteering in the community and getting involved with organizations such as dream project, unidas u.s. and many more. after finding out she was undocumented she thought all her hard work an effort was for nothing but thanks to president obama she was able to apply for daca and she told her story very brilliantly. at our press conference before the state of the union. if you could hear them tell their own stories, it's just -- about -- great humility conveying their stories because when you see them and th

limited extent i know united states the idea of exceptionalism. u.s. mission is indispensable so this is this is really one of. grounds and foundations of u.s. statehood and u.s. political cultural political psychology so it will not change i think the united states now our. americans now are facing a period of uncertainty which is to be used to. a real doubt to this new world because dominance is impossible stan the understanding of this started not even during obama's presidency but after iraq war even bush presidents started to realize this imperial overstretch the frequently used notion from two sounds was just the reaction to. america started to understand the limits of the best city of the county which is maybe most powerful in history but still and in this regard i think next. i don't know eight fifteen years maybe ten us will try to find new ways how to accommodate. into this new world but it will be bad. because. having to project over the rest of the world. to project power next. president in ten years' time will be back to the. world now as

bad blood between iran in the united states is one of the reasons why the united states wants to keep a footprint there it really is quite amazingly doing the bidding of riyadh in tel aviv all the time because there is now absolutely no strategic interest of the united states or the anyone in the european union about syria and i think that it backs it all up in a in a it's always misguided the more they listen to riyadh in detail of the the opposite happens iran's influence continues to expand when are they going to learn go ahead in a year that's true iran has in some ways benefited from the disasters wreaked on the middle east by the u.s. in the last few decades but i would completely disagree that europe and the u.s. have no interest in containing iran or destroying syria the u.s. certainly does and the west in general and especially britain and the usa do are very concerned as i said the outset to destroy any independent or potentially independent force in the global south of. israel and saudi arabia the. bulldogs if you like of western power in the middle east the watchdogs keepi

-- in the united states? >> our history with gun control and regulation is very different to the united dates. you are right -- united states. you are right. there was a mass shooting and has mania in 1996, and my indecessor -- in tasmania 1996, and my predecessor undertook some very big reforms. basically, semi automatic and let alone automatic weapons are essentially not available. indeed, there are many classes. the range of firearms that are available to people that do not have a specific professional need, like people who are involved in pest control and so forth, are very, very limited. it is a completely different context, historically, legally, and so forth. we are very satisfied with our laws. we maintain them, they are there, they are well known, you have referred to them, but we do not presume to provide policy or political advice on that matter here. you have an amendment to your constitution which deals with gun ownership, you have a very, very different history. i will focus on our own political

that is the fixed policy of the united states of america. as president trump has said many times, he said i always believe in talking. we've made it very clear that we are open to communicating our policy to the regime in north korea. what north korea needs to understand, and as i made clear in an announcement in japan, when we announced a new round of sanctions that will be imposed -- the largest ever sanctions imposed by the united states, and we are confident our allies will join us, nothing will change. until the day comes that north korea permanently abandons its nuclear weapons and the stick missile programs and seizes -- ceases. like as you look at the tools in our belt, we may do more talking. i think it isce: accurate to say we want to make sure north korea understands us. if there is an opportunity for talks that can communicate the fixed policy of the united states of america to them, the president has made it clear. he always believes in talking. but talking is not negotiation. talking is understanding one another and when you th

assad is fighting isis the united states officially so that it's fighting isis so why is the united states. forces instead of isis the simple question no simple lesson well one that we got a non answer we got it we got to do exactly that inflection it was it was a deflection because he did not want to see the troops the official american policy is very different from video policy that bush use and the real policy that the washington press use. is that he that of syria that's and that's one of the reasons why the way that isis florist is syria without the support that the assad forces initially got from the u.s. from britain some other countries some other allies of the us i says would not have flourished i mean if there had been the illegal invasion of iraq in two thousand and three of course and you know. show that's what you say as you know iran has been gaining more influence you know spread it here july that is why it might be because of one week because it will not be able to speak clearly clear to our viewers if we. it isn't because of what iran is doing or what other actors are doin

states didn't think it was so the united states is trying to lay down the law here and not let anybody pro and as we know it turks threatened and mend it could take on the americans over there so the united states i think is very patients. and turkey will begin to push america out to try to push america out of northern syria but he likes. russia bid farewell to military pilot ramon filipov on thursday the major became a national hero after his plane was downed by militants in syria with more details his medina conscionable. the funeral for a major roman filipe of who died tragically fighting in syria takes place here in his hometown of photo in your earlier we saw hundreds of people attending the memorial ceremony as family members friends his colleagues people who didn't know him all came to pay their last respects at the palace a plane was shot down on saturday and the northwestern part of syria which is still controlled by the latest incarnation of the terrorist group oh no sra roman tried to stay in the air as long as he could he then managed to a jacket from the airplane only to f

human trafficking prosecution unit, or htpu, partners with the united states attorney's offices to prosecute labor trafficking, sex trafficking of adults, and trans national sex trafficking. hcpu leads our act team initiative which brings together federal agents and prosecutors in competitively selected districts. u.s. attorney who is with us today is a valuable member of one of those teams and he will be presenting today on some of the successes he has had in his district, including obtaining substantial restitution for survivors. we also work in partnership with the department of homeland security and our partners in mexico through a bilateral, anti-trafficking initiative aimed at dismantling trans national trafficking networks because human trafficking, of course, is often a trans national crime. toda today-- the day i was sworn in as attorney general, president trump sent me a memo to dismantle these criminal organizations. it is a high priority of ours. you can be sure that this includes human trafficking rings. and this is another reason why we must finally secure our border. trafficke

you make the united states proud. madam president, the whole debate that we are now undertaking over immigration and the dreamers has become somewhat personal for me because it has reminded me in a very strong way that i and my brother are first generation americans. we are the sons of an immigrant who came to this country at the age of 17 without a nickel in his pocket, a young man who was a high school dropout, who did not know one word of english and who had no particular training. a few years ago my brother and i and our families went to this small town that he came from and it struck me the kind of courage he showed and other people showed leaving their hopeland to come to a very -- homeland to come to a very different world without money in many cases and without knowledge of the language. now my father immigrated to this country because the town that he lived in this poland was incredibly poor, there was no economic opportunity for him, people there struggled to put food on the table for their families. hunge

of the united states. (dramatic music) - [narrator] in argentina the political violence of the 1970's would leave a lasting scar. - by the mid 1970's argentina had been in trouble for a while. finally in 1976 the military essentially said we're gonna put an end to this and they led a very dramatic coup. they killed anywhere between 10,000 and 30,000 suspected leftists, including many people who really had no involvement with the left. these people were drugged, kidnapped, thrown out of helicopters, tortured. some of the worst things in latin america's recent history. - [narrator] three more revolutions in nicaragua, el salvador and brazil shook the region. - that's when we saw in central america all these civil wars and revolutions break out. you had at that time military juntas, especially in the southern cone and many other places. and president carter did not pull any punches in calling a spade a spade and denouncing human rights violations, which led a number of governments to sort of back away a littl

he was brought to the united states when he was five years old and lived in the united states since then. he was admitted to the new ersey state bar on january 24, 2018. congratulations. and previously admitted to the pennsylvania state bar on december 18, 2017. he was the first dreamer ever admitted to the new jersey and pennsylvania bar associations. d when his status expired on august 9, 2018, he could be deported from the only country he knows and lifted away from his family without authorization or legal status. his employment options and his law degree to use will be substantially limited. he wants to make sure the white house chief of staff knows he is far from lazy. he just looked at his college and law school record. .hank you congresswoman this is the story of her constituent, her statement is below. i just graduated from high school three days before deferred action on deferred arrivals was announced and i was accepted at san diego university. there is some uncertainty in applying for daca but a risk worth taking. i was enthusiastic to work and serve my community. i graduated

presence in syria and iran well i mean it's the activities of the united states in the region since two thousand and three that is only advance the interests of iran i mean i how many more do we have to go through how many more failed regimes we have to go through in that region to to show that the more you push for regime change you more you push to determine political outcomes the more you lose i mean it's a losing streak ok for over a decade and a half but nobody realizes that go ahead dan you're absolutely correct and the u.s. policy in the that part of the world has been just amazingly wrong headed the invasion of iraq provided a huge opening to a rare america's allegedly number one enemy in the region you said before they got there america wants things you know in korea and syria but it's not really clear that america even knows what it wants exact limiting russian iranian or chinese. influence but otherwise it has no idea it has no positive program you know and so therefore the u.s. is trying you know is acting at the behest of saudi arabia and israel saudi arabia is maybe formin

to the united states they won't be able to open bank accounts and such in the united states so this is almost a sanctions delivered de facto the u.s. department of justice now this announcement is coming we're expecting to hear from rod rosenstein very shortly there will be some kind of press briefing most likely on this issue but it's interesting the timing as it came just just moments after it was announced that the recent shooter in the united states this is this nicholas cruz who killed seventeen high school students it was announced that the f.b.i. had had a second tip about him in the lead up to his shooting and they had a second tip informing that this this young man was pending and planning to attack a school so it seems that that in addition to the fact that the f.b.i. had received these tips they were spending quite a bit of time investigating something else and that perhaps if the f.b.i. had been focused on preventing school shootings up perhaps they were not focused on this kind of issue there might have been a different results at the high school that just recently happene

but first they had to get the women into the united dates. -- united states. the traffickers did this by engaging in widespread visa fraud including arranging sham marriages, lying on visa applications. in order to facilitate the travel of the women from thailand to our country. in the united states, the women were sent to one of the many houses of prostitution. came the house bosses, or reported to the traffickers, and/or responsible for the day-to-day operations of these houses. they advertised the women, usually on websites, scheduled sex buyers, and ensured that the cash earned was routed back to the trafficker, with the house boss taking hersex cut. little money was left for the victim to play off her bondage pay off heroff -- bondage debt. they helped lease apartments and other locations used as houses of prostitution. they booked travel, advertised the women, and scheduled commercial sex acts. they were the ones primarily responsible for laundering and routing millions of dollars generated through this commercial sex trade. and finally, there were the r

around the world and then when you think about the united states' commitment to the world food program last year two thousand and seventeen was two point five billion dollars this year you know we're hopeful that we come out with at least two billion but i'm confident that the leadership in the united states will stay strong on international humanitarian aid that in many of your public appearances you're stressed that feeding the world's most vulnerable is a viable alternative to military spending you think it's a way of combating extremism and apparently the president perhaps has a different view on that what is your strategy now to try to dissuade the president ought to try to work with the congress and hopefully defeat his budgeting proposals there well as i've told my friends in the u.s. senate and the u.s. house the republicans and the democrats as well as the president and his administration if you want to spend another half a trillion dollars on military cut the world food program. because we are the first one of us it is him to bring about exactly one of them and he's been very

bad blood between iran and the united states as one of the reasons why the united states wants to keep a footprint there it really is quite amazingly doing the bidding of riyadh in tel aviv all the time because there is now absolutely no strategic interest of the united states or the anyone in the european union about syria and i think that. it's always misguided the more they listen to riyadh in detail of the the opposite happens iran's influence continues to expand when are they going to learn go ahead dan here that's true iran has in some ways benefited from the disasters wreaked on the middle east by the u.s. in the last few decades but i would completely disagree that europe and the u.s. have no interest in containing iran or destroying syria the u.s. certainly does and the west in general and especially britain and the usa do are very concerned as i said the outset to destroy any independent or potentially independent force in the global south of. israel and saudi arabia the. bulldogs if you like of western power in the middle east the watchdogs keeping that area basically under

states and turkey especially in the aftermath of an announcement from the united states that it intended to create a thirty thousand strong border force to protect syria's border with turkey now u.s. leaders backtracked from those comments but that hasn't stopped turkey from being quite upset by these remarks now we've recently seen the beginning of operation olive branch and this is turkish forces moving into syria to fight against the kurds two allies of the united states clashing with each other in syria as the tensions escalate we're even hearing calls to rename the street on which the u.s. embassy in turkey is capital is located there are calls to rename the street olive branch after operation olive branch the turkish operation to go into syria and fight against the kurdish forces armed by the united states there seems to be quite a bit of contradiction in the words and statements of u.s. leaders and there seems. to be rising tension between all three parties the usa turkey and the kurdish forces. picking up on what caliber saying that the rift between turkey and the us could deepen

soil the united states do something to stop mr sausage. that right now this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons his legal team will continue to battle it out here at the courtroom in london it's clear that what's key in terms of what happens to julian assange largely depends on any guarantees including from the u. was that he would not be taken there and this is continuing to be a major hurdle despite what happens here in london depending on the decisions that will come possibly as early as next week on february thirteenth now given the scale of the revelations of wiki leaks has published against the united states so little wonder many believe washington is keen to get its hands on
