united states. he is currently working on the history of the u.s. civil war as an international working-class rebellion. understanding this is the first time the institute has hosted a panel that looks at the global civil war. so, we have got a lot of exciting things we can share. to start off, i would like to ask our panelists, we know a lot about the civil war, you guys are aware of the dynamics of the civil war, what about people outside of the united states in 1860? what are some of the other things that were competing for headlines in something like the london times, probably the most widely circulated newspaper at the time. what other things are happening -- were happening that help us contextualize? >> the short answer is a lot. timepends on a particular during the war itself, but if you were to pull up a random london times or any other publication within europe, andre might be able to speak about other ones in the western thesphere, but it is political machinations, the soap operas of europ

of the united states. what nation would do this to itself? righta very strange idea, , to have woven into the fabric of the constitution a system that allows the indefinite expansion of the nation through space in the accretion of additional political units that have the power over time to overwhelm the original, the political units, the states that originally made up the country. student: i have a question about the expansion part. what did like france, spain, or great britain think of this map? this very clearly incorporates territories that they had claims to, like the northwest or southwest down there. eric: well, that's right, and it became, you know, the united states had to worry a lot about the hostility of foreign powers in the early decades of its existence. even in territories that had been ceded to the united states by great britain and the treaty of paris in 1783, britain never gave up its western posts in the region, and it continued to encourage native allies to harass settlements, 1812, you

we have to see the seriousness of the united states. we are not going to negotiate about our defense. it's a historical emotional attachment for our people. our people went through eight years of war when they were being targeted, when they were being showered with missiles and bombs and even chemical weapons and nobody gave us the minimum means of defense. everybody from the soviets who gave the iraqis midair planes to the americans that gave them recognizance to the french who gave them missiles to the brits who gave them tanks to the germans who gave them chemical weapons. everybody helped them. nobody even allowed us to buy a single missile to defend ourselves. so it's impossible to tell iranian people that while the united states is selling $87 billion worth of military equipment, why saudi arabia is buying $87 billion worth of military equipment and the united states is selling over $50 billion worth to the region to the persian gulf every year they expect us to abandon our only and most important means of defense. >> let me ask y

an admirer of the united states. he had visited the united states as a young man. he found americans to be greedy, materialistic, and uncultured, and he did not want to see them dominating the western hemisphere. so he developed his grand design, the invasion of mexico, which unfolded first with the cooperation of spain and great britain, in the first year of the civil war, then expanding throughout the first half of the 1860's. see italiane unification as the war is breaking out. so there's quite a bit on the minds of european powers at this time. >> one angle not quite as often talked about, but really important in this question, is the european communist movement, in particular karl marx and frederick engels. they were both fascinated by the american civil war, for two reasons. as part of the european revolutions of 1848, 1849, the communist league, which they wrote the communist manifesto for, played an important role and hopes to turn that into a communist, socialist revolution. it failed, and they had to go into exile. a lot of them went into exile in the uni

of the united states. what nation would do this to itself? it is a very strange idea, right, to have woven into the fabric of the constitution a system that allows the indefinite expansion of the nation through space and the accretion of additional political units that have the power over time to overwhelm the original, the political units, the states that originally made up the country. student: i have a question about the expansion part. what did like france, spain, or great britain think of this map? this very clearly incorporates territories that they had claims to, like the northwest or southwest down there. eric: well, that's right, and it became, you know, the united states had to worry a lot about the hostility of foreign powers in the early decades of its existence. even in territories that had been ceded to the united states by great britain through the treaty of paris in 1783, britain never gave up its western posts in the great lakes region, and it continued to encourage native allies to harass

as president of the united states, i would remind the world that we are the united states of america and we do not coddle dictators. the united states of america .ives hate no safe harbor there will be no more charlottesvilles, no more helsinkis. the challenge of following this disastrous presidency will not just be to restore the red -- our reputation and credibility, it will be to enact a forward-looking foreign-policy for the world as we find it today, and as we anticipate it will be tomorrow and in years to come. much has shifted in the past few years. the international landscape is more crowded, competitive and complicated, and when we look at key's different today, two points jump out. one is, the speed and intensity of the gravest dangers means that the fates of nations are more intertwined than ever have been. climate change, nuclear proliferation, international and transnational terrorism, cyber warfare, disruptive new .echnologies, mass migration we are moving like moore's law is moving. resolved by can be the united states alone, or any nation acting alone. american securi

anybody who is helping the united states and its war against iraq, united states is engaging and economic waragainst iran. there are other countries with logistical support, reconnaissance, that means they are participating in the war. so that could happen? you could target allies? us allies in the gulf? if there is a war, then i do not think anybody would be safe in our region. but let us all try to avoid war, we don't need a war. we've gone through eight years of war, a war that was imposed on us with the help of everybody. but why not de—escalate the situation? for example, the grace 1, which has been seized by british naval authorities. you have had a conversation with british foreign secretary jeremy hunt, and he said to you "look, this vessel could be freed if it's not bound for syria." it is that kind of action that the west find provocative. it's piracy, plain and simple. but there are eu sanctions against selling oil to syria. first of all, there are eu sanctions against buying syrian oil, not against selling oil to syria. one. second... going through eu... sorry, there are eu

the doors to the united states never officially shut. many doors are shut on entrance all along the way or have been planted closed years before. there are last ships and almost made it and hundreds of thousands, millions of tragic stories. we estimate that the united states accepted between 180 and 220,000 immigrant between 1933 and 1945. that is more than any other country in the world. clearly as i hope you have heard that is not something we should pat ourselves on the back for. i quoted lacrosse at the beginning with the idea that history is the relentless unforeseen. the refugee crisis is the unforeseen. with the immigration law based in eugenics science isolationism , economic insecurity and fear the american government response to the crisis that began 15 years later is not surprising. it is also a orton to remember thatgermany murdered the not the united states. the laws were not generous but america was not homicidal. we did not relent either. thank you very much. >> thank you. appreciate that. open for questions. >> thank you

all of them called by the united states. all of them ended up condemning the policies, unilateral policies of the united states. so it is time for the united states to begin to return to the international consensus that we can only reach our goals through multip multilateralism. >> zarif is now in new york for a u.n. meeting this week after having his visa personally approved by secretary of state mike pompeo as tensions between the two countries just seem to be getting worse. >> earlier on sunday, president hassan rouhani said he's willing to hold talks with the united states, but there is one big condition. listen. >> translator: we are always ready for negotiations. this very -- in this very hour at this moment, we are ready for talks, provided that you stop your act of aggression, stop your sanctions, and return to the negotiation table and return to logic. >> mr. rouhani says that because the trump administration abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal last year, iran is not violating it even though they're actually enriching m

the united states. brazil, about six times higher than what we have here. russia is much higher, chile, and this is a little bit higher than the united states in recent years. one thing that is a little bit misleading and i'll point out, i think it is misleading to talk about a u.s. homicide rate. because it varies so dramatically across the united states. two percent of the counties in the united states account for over half of the murders in the united states. and if you ever look at you know the make up a little over 20 percent of the population. but if you look at what is called a murder map, which will grab out with the murders occur in different counties, what you'll find is that basically within about a 10 block area within those high murder counties, you will find over half the murders occurring there. so they are very heavily concentrated and very tiny areas within the united states. and basically it is drug gang related. so we have a relatively high homicide murder rate compared to many countr

the united states does that. in my view, because no other country is going to make cooperation for security, and yet it's needed. >> let's talk about that. >> and people often compare to what? i mean, yes, we need to be accountable. if it was my money i would like to know that it is being spent wisely. but you're always comparing to what? it's this help had not been there, things would be much worse. >> right, if the assistance wasn't there and i think that's what a lot of people think, when you have threats to cut off the country entirely from assistance or to cut off travel entirely, the potential could be exacerbating these problems. let's bring the focus to the u.s. approach to migration. for decades, not just the trump administration but predating the trump administration is enforcement first, border security first. in many ways you can sum up the democratic and republican approach since really the '90s as deterrence. i think it's fair to say that hasn't worked. and i think that was one of the interesting th

united states and then were freed? did they have different lives? >> that is a big question. i really have to figure out how to understand. people who have been in the community in boston or upstate new york and whether the experience of being in canada and under the british empire, having a different education system, a different set of rights, how that impacts how people work together. it is ongoing research and i am trying to figure that out . because i think some people felt very safe and free in boston or in new york or chicago, but others really felt like there was something different about being in canada. i gave them an opportunity to think of themselves as british or as american, as citizens of the world, and i am sorting out what all that means to them. >> in your initial research, have you seen what the returning americans expect life to be like? >> some of them really hoped the promise of the end of slavery will mean equal rights for all. marianne carry is someone who has been a very active journalist in on

sometimes it happens the united states the f.d.a. requires pharmaceutical industry to have a certain standard of care and standards are great but sometimes small businesses cannot enter that market because it's such a barrier by making a 1000 dollars or $3000.00 a year in a product when i as a company want to get into that maybe we need 6 companies but we need a company and the way that you do that is again make sure there's a less of a barrier to make this product if you use competition then me as a patient i'm empowered to understand how much is this medication cost is this product equally as good why would maybe you know take a lesser expensive medication than the other. and that's it from a thanks for watching saskia tayla has your next ati international news in 34 minutes from. when it comes to north stream saying great clarity that the position of under law americans and drive among the government is crystal clear that it is a business project it is not a political project we understand that the americans would like to sell the

currently the united states, the u.s. congress, they have allowed chinese state enterprise to have a minority stake in natural gas projects and oil projects. we've never allowed a central enterprise to have a majority stake in the u.s. natural gas project. so that's something to think about very carefully, second, my understanding is that, multiple commercial oil, and gas firms have walked away from this particular project because of its cost required to bring it online. i would question why is it that the chinese company is willing to pursue commercial companies viewed is not commercially feasible, we should have a lot of oversight over, ideally we would have an open bidding process for development projects in the united states, those would go to the best commercial bidders. if this not was something feasibly commercially but something the communist party is willing to invest in, this to me, it speaks of more interest than commercial ones being involved in the deal, so this is something that would require very serious u.

right here in the united states of america. made in america, made in the u.s.a. call it either way. but that's what we're doing. and you know when i took office , i was told by the previous administration that manufacturing jobs would be disappearing. there was no way, they said, you'd need a miracle. right? you'd need a miracle. well, we have a miracle because we're up 600,000 manufacturing jobs since the election. [applause] so it's been an extraordinary resurgence of american manufacturing. we've added more than six million jobs since i was elected, including over one million jobs in manufacturing, engineering and construction. as i said, 600,000 jobs in pure manufacturing. and that number's going to go substantially higher. japan and other countries are at my absolute request, order, call it whatever you want, they're sending tremendous and building tremendous plants now in the united states. we hadn't had auto plants built in many, many years. and now we're having many in michigan and ohio and pennsylvania and florida. in

[applause] second, we will strengthen our alliances and attract new partners for him to strong network of like-minded nations --. are willing is an advantage that our adversaries did not possess but this means that allies and survivors must contribute or equitably. president trump has called on other nations to do more and they have responded. our alliesof 2020, will spend an additional 100 billion on defense, an unprecedented increase that will make the lines. -- the alliance stronger. third, we will reform the department to make the best use of every dollar congress gives us. we had many competing demands and it is incumbent upon us to look for ways to free up time, money, and manpower to invest we musto top ironies keep faith with the american people and be good stewards of their hard-earned tax dollars. and will place a particular focus on the well-being of our families. our military spouses and civilians make tremendous sacrifices for this country, and in return, i am committed t

circulations in the united states. british and french observers habitually gauged the progress of the war by what, if anything, happening in the eastern theater. they had a view of the united states that's very similar to the view that new yorkers have of the united states. when they looked at the separates from london and paris they could see everything to the op latch ans and then it's instinct around there. everybody in new york can see all the way to the hudson then it becomes undistinct and way out there somewhere is something and it might be los angeles. a final factor that brought greater attention to the eastern theater is the presence of r.e. lee whose emergence in 1862, 1836 as the preeminent rebel general gave additional weight to what happened this this theater. it was a measure of the predominance of the eastern theater in the minds of people in the united states and in the confederacy that appomatics where lee sur rend to grant in april 1865 marked the effective end of the war despite the presence in the

since world war i, the united states has led the -- since world war ii, the united states has led the world in accepting refugees and asylees. we have tried to be a leader among developed countries in accepting refugees and ally lease and we've -- and asylees, and we've dodge it. when you look at -- and we've done it. when you look at all the cubans who have come to the united states, we have cubans who serve in the united states senate who were part of that. we have jews who fleed persecution in the soviet union. we did it when the vietnamese that stood by american soldiers and risked their lives were given refuge in the united states. the list goes on and on, and it reflects who we are as a nation. we screen those who come in, but we say that our doors are open, to give them a second chance in life and the protection of the united states. that was what we did from world war ii until the election of donald trump as president of the united states. now he has turned back the clock. ware back in the s.s. st. louis era. america is better than this. we can keep our nation safe and respect

states to say however we have a very impolitic president the united states them and that's the problem but the principle problem for the united kingdom is the confidentiality of our communications it's the leak from those communications that is the issue here for us that's there the practical problem we face going to find out who leaked this and why and how it was allowed to get into the public domain because we will not get counted reporting from our posts overseas if they believe if they're remotely interesting or even simply repeat as this did what was pretty entirely a common understanding of the management of the trumpet ministration in a diplomatic telegram if that isn't going to be spread over the front pages of the newspapers in the way that this was that's that's the problem i see boris johnson is not really the issue their issue here is a very unconventional and impolitic president and the great task leader of confidential information right and nancy how is this that reverberating in the united states but if it in washington circles and beyond. well 1st i just let me add one

currently the united states, the u.s. congress has allowed chinese enterprises to have a minority stake in natural gas and oil projects. we have never allowed a state owned enterprise to have a majority stake in a u.s. natural gas project. so that is something to think about very carefully. second, my understanding is that multiple commercial oil and gas firms have walked away from that particular project because of the costs required to bring it online. so i would question why is it that a chinese state owned company is willing to pursue a project that individual commercial companies viewed as not commercially feasible. we should have a lot of oversight. ideally we would have an open bidding process for all development projects in the united states and those would go to the best commercial bidder. if it wasn't feasible commercially but it's something that the chinese communist party is willing to invest in, that speaks to me more than commercial ones being involved in the deal. that is something that would require very s

the loopholes come to united states, get released, and many don't ever show up in court. and, of courseing right now the biggest problem on the border is two groups, the unaccompanied alien children and the family groups. the word's out, you bring a child with you, and you won't be detained, and if you are, it's just a few days -- gerry: and that's important because, obviously, that's what's happening, they're being released in the united states, supposed to appear for a court date, and they don't show up for the most part. >> good point. they just came ot with data that 90% of final orders of 90% of the judges' decisions order removals are issued in absentia which means people didn't show up to court. gerry: so what should be done? you said congress needs to authorize more money to increase facilities. isn't though, in a sense -- and i don't want to sound inhumane here, but the more spacious you make these facilities, the better able to deal with these number, isn't that in a funny way going to encourage people to come as well? right now if people are getting the impress

states because the united states called on berlin to secure shipping in the strait of hormuz but they also called on them to combat iranian aggression were of course then germany to give into that i'm essentially they would have been condemning iran's actions at the same time you know engaging in something which is labeled as putting them on a collision course then with techron at a time of course when germany has such a differing view and it stance towards iran desperately trying to nudge the iranians back into the parameters of that carefully negotiated to 2015 nuclear deal at the end of the day though i think whether this u.s. mission is patrolling of the high seas or perhaps even something more perhaps a move of politic i think it's fair to say that we will see washington now proceed and go forward rather swiftly and killed or what about germany i mean this does look like a slap in the face delivered by germany to the united states. it certainly could be seen that way particularly given that german defense rely so heavily on the u.s. but at the same time this really isn't a surpri

states but also to anti iran allies of the united states in the region that the costs of a military confrontation with iran would be very very high and on the other side also that trump himself you know seems not to be interested in a large scale military confrontation and then just a story already out of korea israel running out as i want to bring in jeff stacy in washington d.c. where should the iranians simply wiped out president of the trump. no they shouldn't because the tensions are likely to lead to a military exchange well before the president leaves and of course everything could go relatively back to normal were someone like joe biden. to come into this and that would be a good thing but the europeans are not out of the picture there were quiet discussions still going on right up until the enrichment violation was announced and that quiet diplomacy now nst needs to become of quiet behind the scenes and loud out in front of the scenes brokering getting the sides back to the table someone like mccrone could get president trump to listen and release a few of the sanctions in

the united states. and so, building on this idea, we've now introduced, in both the senate and the house, another major it -- make it in america piece of legislation. this legislation is authored in the senate by senator a.m.t.y baldwin and here in the house -- tammy baldwin and here in the house by myself and it basically says that all of this talk about infrastructure, which is critically important, that that infrastructure, if it's an american taxpayer dollars that's being used to build that infrastructure -- dollar that's being used to build that infrastructure, whether it's a power line or a highway or a sanitation system or a water system or an airport, that if there's a federal dollar involved, that we make it in america. it simply applies to all types of infrastructure when american taxpayer dollars are being used, that that infrastructure, the steel, the pipe, the electronics, the other elements that are in that infrastructure, that they be made in america. so it's part of our make it in americ

the first set, and it is they come to the united states. errorss this comedy of in misunderstandings. a very them including anti-communist labor leader in poland, they say how can you help us you need to help gorbachev. they are very committed to a mixed market, and very antiauthoritarian. the vision that they see is more of a meld of the best of western european reforms reforming socialism with a human face, and not losing social safety nets, not losing what they see as socialist values that were grossly distorted by authoritarian governments. deep desire to demilitarized. really imagining a -- a demilitarized world. the warsaw pact is irrelevant, and this freaks bush out. he cannot even take this seriously. but i would argue that he does an enormous work. he is on the phone with leaders all over the world every day. anonymous amount of work to bring people onto his side even bore for the a walk -- even before the iraq war. thing case of hobble, one that gets him over to his side in terms of the iraq war by talking to him about human right

the united states refuge. if we have a humanitarian crisis, why isn't somebody raising their hand and saying we need to fix this. if there's an agreement there are people who have legitimate claim, whether mexico or the united states, we all believe they should get the support of our governments, let's work on that. i don't know what the solution is but let's work on that. then if we all agree there's a number percentage, actually economic immigration and it's probably better to have legal avenues for them, let's work on that together. then the final equation is if somebody is coming here to harm mexico, united states, central america and it's a true threat, let's work on that also. we need to get that -- if there's agreement there, there's hope we can do something. >> well, certainly harder and harder to do that when you have a flood of folks coming in overwhelming the system. the number of people that are actually approved out of central american companies is closer to 20%, right? >> it just depends how you

it's not just limited to the united states. boris johnson is about to be elected prime minister of the uk, i think, because of the same motivations. and whether going too far in this instance, he's playing for just a hafl of states and it's all with an eye towards that. >> michael, the president is saying he is doing this because it might work. one ofr your greatest fears is it will work. >> one of my greatest fears is that it will work. it's interesting to hear people say, is this the line, is this too much? this is violent racism. and i don't care if it's being used to distract from epstein. i don't care if it's being used to get out the 2020 vote. it is violent. it is dangerous. it needs to be called out. it doesn't need to be normalized or excused. i really think that this is a moment in time where if this is not stopped, this will become america. this is the president whether you like it or not. he speaks for us all. and he is shouting racism from the rooftops. and there's an entire party behind him who is silent. i mean,

sometimes it happens the united states the f.d.a. requires pharmaceutical industry to have a certain standard of care and standards are great but sometimes small businesses cannot enter that market because it's such a barrier by making a 1000 dollars or $3000.00 a year in a product when i as a company want to get into that maybe we need 6 companies maybe you need a company and the way that you do that is again make sure there's a less of a barrier to make this product if you use competition then me as a patient i'm empowered to understand how much is this medication cost this product equally as good why i want maybe you know take the lesser expensive medication and the other. it's been revealed that one of the alleged mastermind of the 2015 paris terror attacks was offered 500 euros compensation for illegal terms of detention cell or was in a prison cell and a permanent surveillance which is in violation of european human rights law our correspondent in from shot to do bensky has been looking into the case. so a lot of dislike and in
