western business leaders and key people pulling out, or not?” western business leaders and key people pulling out, or not? i think it will, although that is not necessarily what you would pick up if you read this article. what this article is saying is that yes, some western officials have pulled out, but they have sent second—tier or lower officials anyway. so they are not pulling out totally, but it mentions that a lot of investment could come from china and russia. so there is definitely a geopolitical theme which the west are very much aware of. and something else that these articles and this paper are suggesting is that foreign direct investment has been very strong this year, counter to what we have been reading in the western press, that foreign direct investment really declined last year on a year—on—year basis. and that is very crucial for what saudi is trying to do, and that is to take the focus of its economy away from just oil and broadening it out. it needs foreign investment to do that. a lot of the western press are sayin

but but that his parents were originally from western pa. he finds himself coming back here as an early child. his family tradition was that they were irish catholic families, his great grandfather immigrated to this country and worked in the coal mines around places like scottsdale and mount pleasant. it is very important to note, coal mining was very important here because we are the home of the deal industry and coal -- we are the home of the steel industry and call is what about in the steelmaking process, so it was very important. ancestorsa? were a big part of that trajectory of the steel industry here in pittsburgh. public service was a huge thing for the murthas and the ray families, and greatly influenced congressman murtha, particularly military service. so he volunteered for the marine corps in 1952. very quickly, he became a drill instructor down in paris island. then he later became an officer's candidate at quantico. his active finished service in the marine corps, but continues for many, many years to be a reserve in the marin

it's too provide services to western colorado on the front range. how would you go about paying for it and please be specific. >> they took a step forward with governor who delivers the goods to convene this data bound very first water plan. first of all it's a matter of principle having represented many communities i will oppose any trans mountain da diversions without agreement from western colorado and i support this as part of a overall solution for the efforts at conservation as well as making sure we have been incentives to be able to profit from conserving water. we need to work together to fund the money that we need to make sure that we have a water infrastructure not just for where the status today but where the state will be in ten years and 20 years. it supports not just our agricultural heritage but the likelihood of many small family farmers as well as our growing metropolitan areas. >> we need to put the water plans first and it will cost approximately $100 million per year and i will prioritized as a budget item that we will absolute

they live in the western part of the united states, they are all westerners. when you have the inclusive vision, how does it change the history? does it just make for a larger canvas, or do you have a fundamentally different one? , we use the metaphor of convergence as a way of thinking about how the peoples and cultures of the west were a weave in which the strands, you can identify them, but the weave made for some things -- something that was a more interesting picture or history. that would be one answer. to go back to your tapestry metaphor. >> this is maybe going back to sarah's question. i am wondering what we have learned about how to resolve the many conflicting values that -- exist today because of the 19th century, but also because of how wealthy we are, how we communicate? dans taken aback when brought up the example of the american prairie reserve in an earlier session. it is a great example of what appears to be, how can anybody be opposed to it. they want to bring back bison. communitiest the where this group is trying to the land,s and buy and

we have a plan to address the price disparity is ravaging western colorado. sometimes 30, 40, 50% more by reconfiguring the pricing zones to make sure we have close. we have a 100 day plan to work with republicans and democrats to save money on healthcare andd expand coverage. >> mr. stapleton. >> i couldn't disagree. one of the bipartisan things i've done in proud of is i worked with a democratic governor to defeat an amendment 69, government led healthcare. we worked across party lines because we understood the associated payroll tax was going to need 10% or more on all business and the cost was going to be at least $25 billion in because it would result in even less rural area doctors and pervasive underpayment to doctors and physicians assistants. now less than two years later, congressman polis is proposing an extreme and radical form of healthcare that the former governor of colorado and i worked to defeat feverishly less than two years ago. his health-care plan is more expensive for colorado and it will result in longer lines for the people that can le

who will come to a western history museum in a world where western history may not matter in the matter -- and the way it once did. we heard yesterday the vision about how western history matter , marnie and her remarks at the last panel talked about a vision about western history mattered she invoked teddy roosevelt and the notion of the west and the winning of the west in roosevelt's terms as something that was celebrated at the core of what america -- what made america great. then, in frederick jackson sterner -- turner's speech, it was the settlement of frontiers that shaped the american care, that made americans who they were, that nurtured that gave birth to, not just the referendum system but gave birth to american democracy, that made america exceptional. that historians have abandoned the framework why the study met western history, what matters, what lesson can we learn that still matter, if not the old turn arion or roosevelt he and -- roosevelt vision of what mattered. certainly we struggled with that and the disconnect between the academic vision of what makes western histo

it would increase pressure to drill in western colorado. throw brownouts due support the jordan cove project, including increased water use issues? that would be one more element of local impact. do you support this increased drilling? if you do, how should it be managed? >> i absolutely support this project. this project will be transformational for western colorado. it is why we have a great bipartisan leadership team. we have enough natural gas reserves to power the state of california for the next 50 years. it's why four national gas companies have signed up for this project. i have met with leaders in asia and the demand is there but this will raise all boats economically in colorado. congressman polis issues are pretty radical as governor developer has said. they are out of the mainstream of his party and will not put western colorado values first. i hope he will change his mind tonight. but he has steadfastly refused even though it has been studied and greenlighted by the federal government. is -- if it is out of the mainstream, i ha

moments all for escalation however it seems that the western coalition led by the united states have been. witnessing a lot of. it's a failure does and the last crisis the federal budget crisis have hardly. saudi arabia and donald trump the american president i just want to expand a bit on the constitutional committee of syria because that again has been held up by all four leaders are something that could be achieved by the end of the year sunday that's something i'm going to mark was saying that could be done do you think that really does hold the key to a political solution how key is that formation of that committee to resolving the syrian conflict. well the amendments. that were required by western powers immediate extension of the lebanese formula to syria the way it was. extended to iraq after the american invasion of this country in two thousand and three which is to establish a sort of confession. decentralized system where subgroups could play a major role and this is something that the. that syria would never accept because it would never accept a situation where it could

rain is needed here in western colorado. when we talk about a statewide economic plan, that is part of our challenge. we need to make sure no matter where you live, great opportunities to succeed. enable independent employment across colorado, not just high skilled jobs, call center workers with high school degrees, entrepreneurs, architects, to be a will to work from communities we love. it is about protecting the outdoor industry jobs by protecting our public lands. an iconic part of who we are is about making sure every child has access to an educational opportunity to help prepare them for success, whether that includes a four-year college, two-year college, or apprenticeship or skill while in high school. >> a follow-up. i have heard you talk about generalities. i have not heard anyone say what initiatives you envision specifically to bring economic and -- development to rural areas. mr. stapleton? mr. stapleton: one of the things i would focus on is being supportive of the jordan hope project, a program to take natural

the code of the west, westerns, the myths, history. those have also played out across and we will bring that together in the final session today. a very exciting morning i am delighted to be joined. you already know all these people having heard from them at several panels already. for those out in c-span land. i am joined by dan florence marty sam way and. as you well know from the biographies their eminent historians of the american west and also in cases of the american -- environment in particular ways such as a cultural. i think we will start with reminding us where we were a little bit including sessions we are restarted yesterday. also set the scene for the end of the 19th century and how changes in american society, the american west in particular were reshaping american attitudes and views towards nature and the natural world. and the way that was impacted, thinking about or the beginning of conservation the title of this discussion as well as some of the legislation that came out of it the continues to have a profound impact

the way towards western scotland and northern ireland. here, temperatures will be below freezing. they are already well below freezing in some areas. but closer to the north sea, there, east anglia, lincolnshire, temperatures should be above freezing. and we're just getting away with the weather because look at all of the wind and rain in the north sea. it's just skirting with norfolk, suffolk, possibly kent. much of the country through the day on tuesday actually not too bad. there will be quite a lot of cloud around, i think, across eastern areas. but the further west and the south—west you are on tuesday, the better the weather will be. so, cornwall, devon, somerset, western wales should have a fine day on tuesday. let's have a look at wednesday now, and we're kind of in between weather systems. lots of weather fronts spinning around here. you can see one weather front of western areas of the uk, so there could be some spots of rain early in the day on wednesday. so this is halloween, approaching the middle of the day here. notice th

we saw a version of a particular slice of western history. we saw a town that was meant to suggest a small world western town in the rockies, the great basin between the 1860s and the 1880s. what i want to argue today is that kind of fascination with particular moment of western history, is not new. in 1890s which is where our conversation is starting this morning, it is where we see that fascination with a particular moment of what seemed to be vanished western history really take root. so let me mention a few key people here to keep in mind. the first is historian frederick jackson turner. is that familiar to anyone? in 1893 he published an essay called, "the front in american -- frontier in american culture." turner was a kind of anxious man. he looked at the 1890 census which said there was no longer a continuous line of sparsely settled land, i.e. a frontier. and that line he said have marked all of previous american history. as a frontier he argued people were stripped of their familiar conventions, forced to confront to the environment

how important is the presence or absence of key western figures, do you think?m is the presence or absence of key western figures, do you think? it is important. this is all part of their strategy. this is their plan to open up strategy. this is their plan to open up their economy to foreign direct investment, to really shift the focus away from just being exclusively oil in the country, so they are billing themselves as a significant g20 country in the region and they want that investment from overseas to really push them into a new economic era. we have seen into a new economic era. we have seen a into a new economic era. we have seen a lot of western companies really pull out of this and that is interesting to, because that probably means that the focus perhaps will be on chinese investment, may be russian investment, may be russian investment, so there is a geopolitical senior, which is perhaps consistent with what we have been seeing elsewhere with the us china trade wars, the us and russian friction in the europe front —— russia friction as well. we sa

do you think it was right that the kurdish ypg allowed westerners into their ranks? youngsters like jack who had no military training? youngsters like jac who had no military training? yes, absolutely. at the time, the kurds were almost overrun by isis, like all of iraq had been. they advanced right through syria. my name is helin qerecox. my name from before was anna campbell. anna campbell, from lewes, was one of several women who came to fight. anna was killed in march by a turkish air strike. her father is still trying to have her body recovered. iam proud, iam proud of my daughter very much. but i also feel a lot of sadness. for anna's father, and jac‘s and others, the new bond they have formed with the kurds helps to ease the pain. but not all feel the same. the mother of ryan lock, from chichester, who died in raqqa in 2016, told an inquest she was angry with the ypg for helping him travel to the conflict. many british fighters who returned to the uk were arrested and questioned by police. but those whose lives were lost in battle will be remembered here as

the western side is hitting the small town of parker and callaway but only the western tip. i don't think parker and callaway will experience the eye. they are going to get hit by the western eye wall and be in the lower quadrant and that's the same for all of panama city proper. the west side of this storm is hitting panama city violently. we will not know the extent of the damage from the winds. but in the city of panama city, whatever the damages, it's going to be wind or tornadoes, not rain, because it's on the western side of the eye wall. the big water problems are going to be to the east. which means mexico beach and port saint joe, all of apalachicola bay. when you move around the big bend of florida, serious coastal erosion with enormous amounts of seawater coming in, 10-12-foot storm surge above high tide, talking about apalachicola, eastpoint, st. george sound, high bluff, over to st. james island. a small town, live oak island. all areas you probably never heard of in the big bend of florida, they call it the armpit of florida because that's what it looks like. i

and that's a huge part of western digital's business, but it's really almost a sideline from micron. the lion's share of their sales, 70%, comes from the d-rams that's a very different market it makes perfect sense to me here is a company that gets roughly half of its sales from flash. late last year, a lot of the analysts were predicting those chips would come under serious pricing pressure by early 2018 or 2019. however, in march, we started hearing about large increases in nan flash shipments. remember, this is a commodity. markets are all about supply and demand, so more shipments translates into weaker pricing and that's when western digital's stock started getting pummelled. lately, all of these fears about flash pricing, you know what they've come true. western digital reported late july they confirmed with management giving much weaker than expected guidance stock got hit even harder and, again, western digital deserves this decline especially when you consider the other half of its business, hard drives is anti--- micron, though, is a different story they're hurt by falling

for a moment is twice as much support in the eastern as in the western states why is that and this is a huge fire up the awning on the question is not whether it has supporters but whether it generates votes as democrats we have to acknowledge that the dea has succeeded in turning nonvoters and voters so i cannot then complain that they voted the wrong way. there are evidently people who feel ignored by the politicians and don't feel that politics has anything to offer them to mention. not to mention . there is the east west problem that's mention of people in eastern germany feel that they've been treated poorly if there's an endless stream of good advice coming from the west with the reproach you are way too obedient to the east german state you know that germany's been unified shut up and adapt to our ways but that won't work that's what's in it for you my one said the old east germany was a narrow minded racist country. do you still think that's. not. what i said i was that there were racist elements there as well and that xenophobia can flourish among homogenous populations but h

the debate is brought to you by the western massachusetts media consortium. i'm carrie saldo, i am pleased to be your moderator. here are the rules for the next hour. our audience members have agreed to stay silent during the debate. candidates have of 90 seconds to answer each question and up to one minute for additional thoughts or a rebuttal and one minute each for opening and closing statements. coin tosses decided the order tonight. the media consortium asks you the public for questions and many of the questions i will last tonight were inspired by things you wanted answers to. let's begin with opening statements. senator warren, you are up first and have one minute. sen. warren: thank you very much. six years ago, i asked the people of massachusetts to take a chance on someone who would -- who had never even run on public office before. you did, and it has been the honor of a lifetime to go down to washington and to fight for you and for your families. i made a promise that i would spend every day fighting to level the playing field for hard-working peo

so i mean the terms and conditions that that come with with russian and chinese engagement in the western media in particular allegations that it's bad for a country that it's not good for the quality of the growth and all these shady deals which which don't have transparency and i mean dissecting the nature of the of the the relationships at typically these tend to be government to government type deals very similar to the chinese engagement whereas countries like india and countries like japan tend to take a more private sector aren't that approach i think you know this narrative what it doesn't focus on is african agency and who do we blame if countries get into dodgy deals you know they mortgage their sovereignty and they give up huge concessions and the likes to do partners who are willing to do and do not ask questions of it so that the accountability piece is one that i think needs greater scrutiny whether that's through the media so what society do the better leadership from around iraq and i'm also seeing that seeing accountability are you seeing strategic deals being done on the

about how the western containment policy against the soviet union has now been replaced by russia's efforts to contain nato and i wonder if in the case of russia it's really containment as much as let's say the effort to simply keep nato away good first of all it's interesting from the historical point of view to see how old the this were the containment was exploited to the right after the second world war by the united states to you do need to to contain the potential expansion of the soviet union towards the eastern side of europe and at that moment containment became more or less one of the pillars of the foreign policy of the united states in nato was one of the tool of the containment not the only one but in europe need to was for sure the most important tool to try to contain the soviet union into a thing russia is doing the same to nato now because as you pointed out i think the russian policy is much less multilayered than what you describe think that in in one sense of russia was waiting to see how far need to go how much need to cool me insurance in the former soviet republics be

end of the war on the western front. i know there are probably more questions. but i invite you to ask those questions here in just a little bit. right now, would you please join me in thanking douglas triano? [applause] announcer: in his 2014 book "alvin york, a new biography of the hero of the argonne," and him is public talks, douglas masri and argues he has pinpointed the exact spot in france where out -- where alvin york earned his medal of honor on october 8, 1918. a newly published book argues its findings are mistaken. we are joined on the phone by military historian brad posey who is a contributor to the book "hero on the western front: discovering alvin york's wwi battlefield." what is the sergeant york project that is the subject of this book? founded byroject was dr. tom noland who was then the director of special technology at the university. initially, he got involved in this as his doctoral dissertation. later, it evolved into this project. what he set out to do was spatial interpretation to the location of where sergeant york action occurred. thi
