states i take your point that you don't make everything about the united states but it's a big important market and they make a lot of noise about this topic as well do you feel that everything that's starting to work with other countries will eventually would well i certainly think at some point the united states is going to have the comprehensive program in place that they need that they don't have now to make sure they can address the risk from the telecom operators and the equipment vendors when the time comes i don't know how soon it will be will be allowed to compete but the fact is we are succeeding globally despite the fact that we make very little money from the united states it is the biggest market and we do want to participate and we hope that as a senior u.k. intelligence official said there needs to be a clear eyed focus on national security where there are objective requirements and conformance programs that's what's necessary for everybody to be able to have a level of comfort that they and a basis for trust so then how do you change the narrative i know you're not a p.r.

the uniform i wear today is that of a united states army is that of the united states army the members of our all volunteer force are made up of a patchwork of people from all of the necessities regions socio economic backgrounds backgrounds who come together under a common oath to protect and defend the constitution of the united states of america we do not serve any political party we serve the nation i am humbled to come before you today as one of many who serve in the most distinguished and able military in the world the army is the only profession i've ever known as a young man i decided i want to spend my life serving this nation that gave my family that gave my family refuge from authoritarian oppression for the last 20 years it has been our nurture and to represent to protect this great country next month will mark 4 years since my family arrived in in the united states as refugees when my father was 47 years old he left behind his entire life and the only home he had ever known to start over in the in the united states so is 3 sons could have a better and safer and safer lives

what is the message you think the united states should be given the president of turkey. >> the yogi bear message. when you come to a fork in a row -- you cannot have it both ways. you cannot at once purchased russian weapon systems and in this case the 400 air defense system which is designed to shoot down the most is sophisticated aircraft. you cannot do that and remain a high-level partner of other nato countries. so i don't know precisely how this gets resolved but that's the message that needs to be sent in here again work together with the nato allies to figure out a path forward. >> i do understand there is competing domain works with laying down the law but also want to make sure you don't fully push him into the russian orbit, understanding that there will be another leader or set of leaders who follow him and they may follow the model as opposed to the autocratic model. so all of these things will have to be factored into how we scope any sanctions regime that we might decide to impose in any future actions. i'm awaiting this meeting in the conversation. >> one of the requi

they discuss several topics including the united states approach. the growing emergence of china and upcoming events visit of the president of turkey. [inaudible conversations] the president and ceo of the hudson institute to promote u.s. international leadership and global engagement for secure, free and prosperous future. we are absolutely delighted to welcome back from the state of indiana, senator young. he is in our bipartisan speaker series dialogue american foreign policy and world affairs. the discussion series is designed not to solely focus on the urgent news but also on the input and news that is to say the broad questions and dilemmas affecting the u.s. foreign-policy. he needs to introduction of the hudson institute we've spoken many times degrees at the university of chicago's in the school of business, the university of london before graduating from the robert h. mckinney school of law at the indiana university and for many years he was the hudson trustee. even though the headquarters here in washington is senator served three terms i

united states makes. we make by far the best equipment in the world. turkey understood that a long time ago. so i think a tremendous amount of progress is being made. okay. thank you very much. you can ask the president a question out. are you sure that you are a reporter? you don't work with turkey for that question? [laughter] >> translator: mr. president, we are not getting the best of news out of the united states. and the office targeti is excessively invested in their daily works. i can feto. my question is, how do you perceive the situation developing vis-a-vis the feto terrorist organization and the american approach to feto in that regard? can we expect anything further? yes, thank you. during the current visit we are going to submit as we already have, actually, a great deal of documents and evidence. and feto is a terrorist organization. and he is the leader, the ringleader of the terrorist organization. they have killed 251 people in turkey. they tried to undertake a coup against the government, this state. and more than 1,000 -- more than

or instead they can take a chance on the united states of america and a liberal international order. i think with some work to do with respect to reassuring our allies in the region. moreover, whether it's the military presence in foreign areas, places like afghanistan, or the institutional focus in the state department and in other agencies of the government on places other than asia. i think that that slows us down. we know that the greatest existential threat as a look out a generation or two back to the united states is china on account of its population, it's different values set, and it's growing economy. and so i would give us an incomplete if i were to grade us, but we really need to be engaging partners and allies on every front, diplomatically, militarily, the mil to mil relationships, intelligence sharing where we can. and then a real point of emphasis that i have been trying to sort of elevated in terms of our public discourse as chairman of a subcommittee that oversees international economic policy on the foreign relations committee is we need a coherent economic strateg

it reads the right of citizens of the united states to vote shall not be denied by the united states or by any state on of sex. when you think about the wording of the 19th amendment, nowhere does it say, "guaranteed the right to vote." a big difference in achieving the right to vote for everybody. what we think the 19th amendment did and the reality of what it did. in this moment states can still find ways through which to disenfranchise voters. into our contemporary moment 2019 there are states and laws out there seeking disenfranchised voters. they are still contending with the wording of this 19th amendment because it is not as specific as we would like it to be. it wouldn't be until the voting rights act of 1965 that things became crystal clear. and that people had the right to vote and guaranteed the right to vote and not be discriminated against based upon their race. i'm standing in front of a portrait, who, like other native americans, was forced to attend carlisle boarding school, which created assimilation of native by not allowing them to have -- not allowing them to spea

states the fact that germany on the united states share common values the fact the united states played a very important role in german reunification at the same time especially in the question are non-sentient some of the key divisions between the united states and germany were again evident for example the shoe of trade which was also discussed in the question and answer session that was clearly evident once again so on the one hand you do have that idea that germany and the united states have longstanding historic ties something that mr pompeo clearly reiterating about the same time it is impossible to hide the fact that germany and the united states are not having the best of relationships now on that there are series of issues which where they do not see eye to eye when in the next hours wholeness pohnpei will meet germany's chance and i'm going to michael in but in how do you expect that one to play out. there will probably be difficult topics to discuss ranging from syria to iran from trade to the environment all issues where the united states and germany as i say do not see eye

can the united states improve relations with russia? is there some way of taking this relationship between president putin and president trump that is been so controversial and turning it into -- my view has been that the arguments about 2016 diminished in some useful and benefit to the united states and a dude think the problem alone is partly that were on a permanent war regime with respect to sanctions andnd other issues and also president putin cannot bring himself to trust the united states. i think the only way in the political situation is to improve relations with russia, that will not be easy. mark: it will not be easy because the democrat party with the russia collusion, russia collusion. >> this is a big problem i think the president trump has to try to figure out. between now and the election geopolitically, a change ofol te subject so next year we are talking about a situation improving not with respect to trade in china, the situation improving with respect to north korea, we have not talked about iran, the president is sm

and they know that the united states has supported ukraine. if the russians determined or suspect that that support is lessened or not there, they will likely take advantage. >> they could have pounced. >> they could have taken advantage. >> so he had a desperate man on the phone and he asked a desperate man for a favor. and based on your testimony, it sounds like begrudgingly, president zelensky may have actually agreed to do that favor and investigate the bidens and burisma. is that right? >> president zelensky does say in the transcript that he will pursue the investigations. >> so we know that president trump asked for a favor to help his political career, and it appears as though that the president of ukraine agreed to that favor. do we know why it didn't actually happen? do we know why there was no announcement in front of cnn or to cnn about an investigation? >> mr. castro, as we have determined, as we have discussed here, on september 11th, just before any cnn discussion or interview, the hold was released, the hold on the security ass

the decision clears the way to speed up of the wiki leaks founder of the extradition to the united states from the u.k. where he is currently in prison. in the stories that shape the week washington pulls the plug on a key element of the iran nuclear deal by. an atomic facility secretary of state. support for ongoing protests. glad to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories right after weeks of deadly violence in bolivia the country is now set to hold fresh presidential elections but lawmakers have barred the ousted evo morales from standing in his supporters have caused widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage as well. were released but there's still no information on the remaining officer ever morality was forced to resign after a wave of protests following october's election amid allegations of fraud but it's his loyalists supporters largely among indigenous groups who are behind the current unrest during which more than 30 people have died and self proclaimed interim president janine onions and has herse

the united states always had the hope that china would become more like the united states, that it would become more liberal, more democratic, not necessarily a democracy as we think it, but more open and potentially even contribute to the world once it became a bigger economy. but then in quick succession, two major events happened. the 1989 tianenmen square massacre told the united states that china wasn't going to reform on its own. a few months later, the berlin wall fell, setting the soviet union on its march into oblivion. this suggested to american strategists a new approach, to get china to change. the new policy under president clinton was market—driven reform. expose china to the winds of international trade and reform and democracy would come. it was, promised mr clinton, a one—way street. getting into a rules—based system and promoting economic competition will both enhance the march of liberty and law. and human rights. president clinton succeeded in getting china admitted to the world trade organisation, a sort of club of trading nations who agree a common rulebook. t

states and the united states would use force in order to protect it. it also led to the creation of syncom. jimmy carter behind-the-scenes, in the matter of theit also week or so, put together the alliance of the united states, saudi arabia, and pakistan that would go on to support the bashaw dean to support them. other countries were rapidly brought into the loop. china as a source of arms. egypt, the united kingdom as a source of advisors with boots on the ground inside afghanistan, something no american did during the war. but all of this was behind-the-scenes. all of it was covert, and jimmy carter got very little credit for it. he couldn't even write about it in his memoirs because it was still a classified project. the reagan administration did virtually nothing to it. it is only in the second term of the reagan administration. let me conclude by turning to reagan. reagan very much knew he owed his electoral victory in november 1980 two the unpopularity of jimmy carter, and he had exploited that. they had deliberately put out the image that they

turkey would like to see that and it would be good for the united states. we intend to bring it up to $100 billion. that would be four times what it is right now. our goal is to expand commerce between the united states and turkey, reduce our trade deficit, and ensure a truly reciprocal relationship. we are, for those of you that have any interest, we discussed it today, our trade agreement with china is moving along very rapidly. we will see what happens. it is moving along rapidly. china wants to make a deal. one of my chief priorities as president has been removing the barriers to american trade and investment and ending the illicit practices that harm our workers. we encourage turkey to open its markets and they are doing that. they are doing that. very much. toward american goods and services, our markets are open, turkey is opening up their markets rapidly. weeks,ave seen in recent the u.s. turkish alliance could be a powerful force for security and stability. not only in the middle east but beyond. i look forward to working with you and with your rep

is just now going to be the new normal for the president of the united states. i don't think we can allow that to be the new normal, acceptable in any way, shape or form or it will not only permit this president to seek other ways to bring about interference in our election, but it will invite future presidents to do the same. so we have some very difficult questions to answer at the end of the day about what these facts require us to do, but you'll be hearing shortly from other witnesses who i think will corroborate much of what you heard today. and with that i'm happy to answer a couple of questions. >> mr. chairman, what do you make of the new information today that mr. taylor's aide overheard this phone call with gordon sondland and the president? and secondly, do you believe that gordon sondland when he testified will be truthful to your committee about his interactions with the president? >> well, first of all, in terms of the new information that ambassador taylor gave today about this conversation, the day after president trump is on the phone with presi

a change of administration in the united states he decided that it was exactly like in ukraine where the winner gets it all so he decided i was this woman told me you know you're one of each to put in jail and who not to put in jail these people pressured me know another man is in charge so i can report on them to a tramp veer this interview in the field in the sense that you know what we said in the 1st part of the program i think it's absolutely fascinating is that it is the united states now that is imitating ukraine let me go and pick up on the family now i just got a really really quick very quick you know something that will tell you who didn't understand elections do not decide the fate of the united states anymore this same people the same establishment you're on your reiteration of my point here and you know let's go into that alex reflect upon that because we did talk about that a little bit in the 1st part of the program but this imitation this demonstration effect is really quite remarkable because it's the u.s. now that is imitating the political practices and corruption

that's the president of the united states. there was only one ambassador who was discussed in the july 25th call and that was you, ambassador yovanovitch. i want to refer back to how you were brought up in that conversation. at one point during the conversation, the president brings up this prosecutor who was very good and it was shut down and it was really unfair and you indicated earlier that it was reckons to mr. lutsenko, the prosecutor, is that right? >> i believe that's the case but i don't know. >> so immediately after the president brings up this corrupt for foreign prosecutor, sorry, brought up only one ambassador in the call. he brought up this ambassador and praises and he treated unfairly, he encourages rudy giuliani to speak with him, the guy that was unfair with you, correct? >> yes. >> he didn't bring you up. he says i want you to talk to rudy giuliani, the guy who smeared you and he brings you up. he thought you were relevant to this. what's more telling immediately after he brings you up and says that you, the

extradition united states. where he's currently imprisoned. with stories from the 7 days on right up to the moment well this is the weekly international of the unwelcome. amid weeks of deadly violence in bolivia lawmakers move to hold a fresh presidential election but barred. from stumping his supporters have cause widespread destruction with protests in the capital other major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. i the authorities later said that 7 of the men were but there are still no information. even with all those who was forced to resign after a wave of protests following october's election amid allegations of fraud but it's his loyalists supporters largely among indigenous groups who are behind the current unrest during which more than 30 people. self-proclaimed interim president jenene. herself sparked controversy by giving police dealing with the protesters and military from prosecution. believe who's currently in mexico after being front of the silence spoke exclusively to r.t. about what is happening in his country. i've

the united states. i think about this in relation to people in this country who we love next to all the time, who are not officially in the united states. they have no legal standing to be here but they fight all the time to contribute to this society. they fight to take our class. they fight to get an education. they fight to same here. they fight for their families and communities and they also fight because it is the united states. they are part of the process of creating the united states on a daily basis and then there are people who want to deny them that space. no, you're not part of the united states. you may be 10% of las vegas's population. you may be 20% of los angeles's population but you're not the united states. that's what they are told. so they are fighting on a daily basis to remain. and to prosper, to survive, to contribute. they look at what they do and they know they're contributing but that's deny told them. it is in those processes of becoming the united states that we have a natio

united states once these polarisation hopefully settles down. if we have to. make sure that this happens because otherwise some to none who no one can accuse center number of being put in storage whatever he said that we are now sleepwalking into nuclear disaster and not on a someone even. former. us ambassador jon huntsman who over oh some time said many thanks for the truly good for diplomats when he said that their best american diplomacy is 100000 tons of force to go in the u.s. missile carriers but then when he came back he said that we have to do dialogue because it's a very dangerous situation is very dangerous but unless those people realize that to be sleepwalking this nuclear disaster then then this is this really can happen so. that's we have to do we have to continue what we're doing i think still believes that. going along with russia is a good thing not a bad think. no i want simply an optimistic note that. close to 2 thirds of americans saying the same so it's so america still democracy and in democracy the final word is for the people well mr l

united states looking for a month. the protesters are accusing government officials of widespread corruption and hold them to blame for failing to put the brakes on a deepening economic crisis washington's made it clear it thinks those are injustices worth fighting against not too different from its stance on hong kong. insurrection began in june against a law that would have allowed extradition of hong kong's criminals to the mainland . chinese going to this party must honor its promises to the. only one of the freedoms and liberties that they have been promised in the no british joint declaration over the past several months there have been thousands of injuries and arrests it's been a big challenge for beijing but for washington an opportunity the u.s. state department says the protesters are fighting for freedom and democracy just like the ones in iran. iranians flooded on to the streets on friday after a massive price hike for petrol. is one of the public must sees violence against its own people and the world is

states they will soon outnumber americans themselves president trump has been disloyal to the united states not only given russia a leg up in his war against ukraine but also in broadcasting his propaganda and for that republicans are just as guilty like to point out that it was the democrats who banned the sale of lethal weapons to ukraine and republicans who gave you create hundreds of millions of dollars in those weapons but what's the point there's no piercing this bubble of unreality an anomaly in the space time continuum of common sense that the washington post exists in it is up to means to media to directly challenge republicans who yes engaged in un-american activity there deliberately assisted in a russian propaganda operation in this wondrous realm that jennifer rubin has brought to life everyone who disagrees with her is a traitor a traitor as anyone who mentions that democrats accepted foreign meddling in the election willfully eagerly accepted foreign help to try to get clinton elected democrats cooperated and ukrainian election meddling official show the surprising lac

any contact with the president of the united states, correct? >> that's correct. >> so you don't know that this impeachme impeachment inquiry is about the president of the united states, do you? someone who has had no contact with the man, i find it amazing that two people first up would be someone who never had contact with the president himself. kurt volker did have contact with the president and the president of ukraine. ambassador taylor, you said he is a man of highest integrity. i know kurt volker and he served as the navy ambassador, he served at the institute, one of the highest in ethics, one of the most knowledgeable about europe. he's actually a very truthful man. would you agree, ambassador taylor, that he is of the highest integrity? >> i believe kurt volker has served the u.s. as a public servant very well. >> do either of you have evidence that mr. volker has committed perjury or lied to this committee in his testimony? ambassador taylor, any evidence? >> mr. turner, i have no evidence. >> mr. kent? >> i believe ambassador volker'

states and the united states would use force in order to protect it. it also led to the creation of what we now call syncom. carterthe scenes, jimmy very, very quickly -- in the matter of a week or so -- put together the alliance of the united states, saudi arabia, and pakistan that would go on to support them. other countries were rapidly brought into the loop. china as a source of arms. egypt, the united kingdom as a source of advisors with boots on the ground inside afghanistan, something no american did during the war. but all of this was behind-the-scenes. all of it was covert, and jimmy carter got very little credit for it. he couldn't even write about it in his memoirs because it was still a classified project. the reagan administration did inherit this policy and for the first year did -- first term did virtually nothing to it. it is only in the second term of the reagan administration. the policy was then ranked up. let me conclude by turning to reagan. reagan very much knew he owed his electoral victory in november 1980 to the unpopularity of

states which is that the new clear program of iran the united states says that it's terminating its sanctions waiver and related to iran's at fordo nuclear plants and that's where the united nations atomic watchdog has actually said that iran has been at enriching uranium so you know in many respects it's very own surprising what we've heard there from the secretary of state mike. you know public we heard earlier in this program from activists and she said that corruption in the government in the bureaucracy. that corruption has been basically been festering no for a very long time and she said that that is behind mainly behind these protests is that being reported in the u.s. that we are would you say that there's a feeling at the state department maybe a also at the white house that these protests or a result of president drum's policy of maximum pressure on tehran. it's a it's you know it's a bit of both but more so here you know we're coming up to the one year mark of the beginning of trumps you know the trumpet ministrations maximum pressure and campaign there is a feeling on s

states when the united states. made this to east they could start that asking us to help to start a dialogue with the government which we were ready to do but then there's the american said we are coming back to the hotel room a control the oil fields they again lost interest in this dialogue so they need some consistency and i have no doubt that the end of the day the. a solution of the syrian crisis can only be was the. interests taken into account of the codes and all of the ethnic and confessional groups in syria for the kids i represent that in the constitutional duty in geneva but this is not this is not present ation of people age and you know what the turks think about the wages and we believe this issue requires very sort of discussion and solution which would be 3 clip political but which can only be be found resolve the key players sitting at the same table and then thinking in the terms of respecting the charitable integrity of syria and resulting all national ethnic and confessional issues within the c

, never spoke to the president of the united states and never spoke to the president of the united states about ukraine, they are the star witnesses about what the president thinks, what his intent was. they have no knowledge of these things and everything that they told that they had heard from others, even ambassador taylor i'm just here to tell you what i heard. certainly not to tell about facts or what he knows. >> sean: and look, for example, they are -- they are talking about conversations with european union ambassador who said, the president clearly stated, i want no quid pro quo and testified he did not have a quid pro quo. volker said there was no quid pro quo. zelensky said there was no pressure. and so there is no linkage by anybody and they know nothing first-hand so why were they sitting in the room? >> i think it is the best that they have. it should be talking to any thinking democrats in the house that here is their best case, their best foot forward. two people that know nothing directly and never met the president of the united states. even the bombshell, the new phone

the foreign policy of the united states. that is yet another reason to really take very close look at what the founding generation -- >> to be clear, he believes believe schiff has made up his mind to go forward with articles of impeachment? >> oh, there's no question. last night's opening -- excuse me, closing statement, "we are moving forward with impeachment." from his perspective. we will see if he can carry 31 democrats. >> we will try to get andy mccarthy in here, as well. >> i certainly agree on that point, and i think the most support document that we are working toward is the report that, under the rules, schiff is required to write the judiciary committee when this case gets transferred over to jerrold nadler's committee. because i will be the road map to the impeachment he has in mind. >> we will come to order. >> thank you, gentlemen. >> we will not proceed to the 5-minute member questioning first i wanted to recognize myself for 5 minutes. first of all, i wanted to clarify something for the record with respect t

doing in united states. thank you for the opportunity to be here today. >> thank you mister strayer our next guest is jessica rosenworcel. she's part of the communications division and fosters economic growth and accessibility and develop policies to breach the hospitals and across the country. pressure joining us, she is a council for the committee in times of transportation. >> good morning. chairman johnson, ranking member peters and members of the committee, for the last decade the, united states has led the world and wireless technology and performance and we have reap the benefits. the smartphone revolution began here on our shores and help secure our global dominance in the technology sector. so now let me be blunt. that authority is being challenged. extending this leadership from a next generation of wireless technology known as 5g is going to be difficult. it's worth the effort because these networks are going to kickstart the digital transformation. however, earlier this year many advisory board a

states and in fact as jeopardize the security of the united states ally and united states security and its. relationship with that allied to to enhance his prospects for election so the testimony today and the impression of the senior white house officials about the political nature of the call really get to the point of that critical part of the inquiry and that buzz saw fit and we're talking about people that are a senior level here jennifer williams a foreign service to vice president pence and one of her responsibilities is ukraine and of course colonel vin been who's director of european affairs the national security council that both had then saw fit to take this for the end to raise those concerns at a high level certainly unusual and again the fact that both of these individuals independently without. discussing and their reactions together drew the same conclusion and took steps to record their objections and their concern i think is significant. we heard from devon noone is the ranking republican and he was questioning and he's trying and castro mentioned this is well but try

worst particularly of the united states to smear discriminant china and the reason this week china is succeeding extremely successful go from good than little the corporate world to whatever each other alerts are diverse to continue intimidate with china beat all the economic growth and this was seen all of the same show the great war or those at the south china sea or hong kong situation over 19000 kilometers away bolivia has been restless too and there's also been some significant shuffling of power. in. the. was. offering himself up as political sacrifice in a bid to calm the protests the democratically elected president evo morales stepped down and fled pass rising from obscurity to fill the void came to me an onion as a 52 year old lawyer and senator whose name didn't really ring any bells even and bolivia and why would it they didn't vote for her in fact no one voted for her she came. to power because the 3 people who constitutionally have the right to take the reins that is the president the vice president and the head of the senate one forced to move on out and what many are d

states as an agent of a foreign governments acted within the united states on the direction and control of the kingdom of saudi arabia and foreign officials working on behalf of the kingdom of saudi arabia without prior notification as required by law they had access to proprietary and confidential twitter information including information about twitter users including the user provided e-mail addresses birthdates phone numbers and internet protocol addresses now the complaint also said that these 2 former employees didn't have jobs that required them to have access to people's private information now as for their payout they were given a designer watch that was priced at $20000.00 and another at least $300000.00 transferred into secret bank accounts that they had twitter security its users privet see clearly dealt a blow here but to what extent well just recently the american involved he was arrested in seattle for tampering with 3 twitter accounts but the real damage was done back in 2015 when over 6000 twitter users had their information stolen by the saudi coconspirator who now is a

states has an enduring interest that these things exist if you want a united states military that's able to react to a threat abroad or to act as a deterrent abroad and the united states needs partners and allies that's just basic one a one defense doctrine right so you need an agreement with you know to have basing you need an agreement to have access to ports and overflights with all these individual countries but i think we're already way down the weeds from what kind of really the bigger question here which is donald trump has brought a new way of doing business a new way of doing foreign policy and he's done it by the will of the american people or at least the electoral college and a new era and i think we're arguing a lot about the means not the ends we like you said in your opener obama and every other president and every other defense secretary and joint chiefs chairman before them all have the same message to nato please you guys should pay a little more use of your debts a little more and democrats like carl levin were so i hear all that i want to i want to push you just

philippines is an ally of the united states. vietnam, i sympathize with this because being from india, is not and that changes the dynamic. in 2016 when the permanent code of arbitration ruling was made, it was interesting to observe the different reactions of different countries and i know there's a big debate about it in several capitals as to how you should respond to it. it was somewhat discouraging to see that australia, japan and to some degree, the united states actually made firmer statements in support of that than vietnam and some of the claimant states. the philippines was under going its own transition so it was slightly different. it made it hard for countries like india to say how can we be [ inaudible ] on this issue. i don't think anyone should be under illusions that others will fight their battles for them. it will have to be, you know, each country will have to take its own. but that being said, there's a lot that all of these countries can do to support each other short of that, and i would say three things i

of the united states has been involved with at all. now thank you thank you for answering that drycleaning american people know this is nonsense the american people know this is unfair and i have a prediction regarding this i think that public support for impeachment is actually going to be less when these hearings are over than it is when the hearings began because finally the american people are going to be able to see the evidence and they're going to be able to make their own determination regarding that now i want to ask you one thing very quickly and you've been asked to sing again and again but my question is slightly different you can ask as you recognize that the president any president has the ability to ask his ambassadors to serve at will i'm curious do you think that's the right policy. yeah i probably think it s. i do as well it may be imperfect there may be times when it's not used perfectly but i agree with you it is the right policy i don't think that we should change that now i'd like to read from some previous statem

second not the thing that the united states says. you know well the fcc and other federal agencies we see a traditionally to stuff the building blocks to invest around and more of a hands off. so that is not something we have traditionally seen in the marketplace of ideas. >> as you said we do not have a domestic supplier, i gathered qualcomm does a little bit of this but why don't we? >> some of the subcomponents we have historically had a software force as the key driver for some of these networks and some of the components to going to 5g networks where the equipment is used by wall weight and others we have an advantage but a much larger conversation for variety of reasons for the international supplier has dwindled. >> boo on s. we are the integrators and we should be way ahead and it makes me sad. okay smart people, questions. identify yourself, and ask a question, do not make a speech there is someone in the second row right here. >> named jim, a question about no matter what we do there will be software that we cannot trust in

they also said that you know the united states they would do that if you know at the united states continue down they say what they call the wrong path now we also know that the u.s. ambassador in china was so moved by the chinese government and you know they were told that the united states should stop interfering in china's internal affairs so you know this kind to be good for this delicate relationship between the united states and china and you know the one thing that has come out of it is that the activists there in hong kong have expressed their joy at the united states is essentially backing them and so has clearly shown their support of the united states showing support for them at the moment ok yes thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump says he's restarted peace talks with the taliban 3 months after ending negotiations the announcement came during a surprise visit to afghanistan where he met with president ashraf ghani and american troops but mr trump also said he wants to draw down the number of u.s. soldiers in the cou

both my region and my family have deep ties to the united states. my paternal grandfather fought through world war i in the royal field artillery, surviving being shot, shelled and gassed before american troops intervened to end the war in 1918. during the second world war, other members of my family fought to defend the free world from fascism alongside american soldiers, sailors and airmen. the men in my father's family were coal miners whose family always struggled with poverty. when my father alfred was 14, he joined his father, brothers, brother and uncles and cousins in the coal mines to help put food on the table. when the last of the local mines closed in the 1960s my father wanted to emigrate to the united states to work in west virginia and pennsylvania. his mother, my grandmother, had been crippled from hard labor and my father couldn't leave. he stayed in england until he died do in 2012. my mother lives in my hometown today. while his dream was thwarted my father loved america, its culture, history and beacon of hope for the world. hehe

united states an imposter. speaker of the house called the president an imposter. the guy with 63 million people voted for and the guy who won an electoral college landslide, and the speaker calls an imposter, and that is what has happened to this country and our congress. the speaker's statement says it all. the democrats have never accepted the will of the american people. democrats don't trust the american people. the american people who wanted to send someone to this town who was willing to shake it up a little bit. they don't trust that. and they have tried to do everything they can to undo what the american people decided on november 8th, 2016. they have been out to get the president since the day he was elected. the whistle-blower's lawyer, the whistle-blower's legal team said this, january 30th, 2017, the president had been in office about a week. coupe has started. first of many steps. next sentence, impeachment will follow ultimately. i guess we are in the final step. it started 3 1/2 years ago. congr
