richard: absolutely. that give me an example of and how the folks in your area of expertise are looking to change that. four to in the past , running an educational company that teaches people to code, seattle, silicon valley, new york, you see your friends were software developers and ask, how do i get there, maybe go to coding boot camp, similar to coding dojo. in, we train you to get you ready for the real world to become a software developer. areas that are urbanish. it is tougher. in terms of marketing, branding of alternative education other than colleges, the government has to do a better job. gone through an apprenticeship out of oregon, what kind of program? caller: it was 30 years ago. i am an old guy now, retired. 30 years ago when i was a freshfaced young man i was raised by an international brotherhood of journeyman electricians. the value of the journeymen card and the licensing that went along with it. my father explained to me, there are only three licensed trades, electricians, steamfitte

richard is this simply a case of people don't like the new kid on the block. well it's i think that may be a concern and that the reason that while away came along and started i mean really it was focused primarily meeting the chinese domestic market and even there it was basically working through a nontraditional market cities were all areas and so because it wasn't very competitive with some of the southeast players but then it just rapidly rose over the test 1015 years and the 2 reasons people think this is the case is that one receives a lot of support from the chinese government and subsidies and others and 2 there are concerns that perhaps it appropriated some western competitors technology and allowed it to leapfrog and do so well so that rise is part of the reason another reason is what happened to the alternative suppliers i mean some of them we had very strong competitive firms in the west earlier but for various reasons including i would argue unfair competition from china they have weakened and this kind of allow a way to come in with a very low of

richard: by and large, not. people are tired of it and see it as kind of washington politicians out of touch, more worried about -- they are more worried about the standard of living and that their kids may not be better off than they are. impeachment seems very much inside the beltway. you own the analysis of northern ireland. it became a sleepy topic with this titanic election of boris johnson. it is off the radar. i don't buy that for a minute. you were there years ago, you wind in 2013. give us an update on northern ireland off the radar. richard: a slight piece of good news, it looks like local institutions in the local assembly, getting back in business has been essentially out of action for several years. the interesting news goes way beyond that which is what dynamics does brexit set in motion? the issue is, do they now raise fundamental questions? if people want to stay in europe, then getting out of what is the u.k. becomes a viable option. i would watch scotland and what is going on in northern irelan

and he said, number 39, richard m. nixon, president of the united states. >> what if this trail leads into the oval office at the white house? >> well, as i replied then, the trail should be followed wherever it leads. you take a lot of trips to the islands, phil? pretty great, right? oh phil's legally dead. fell off a boat. going by denis now. celery. long story. what do we got here. oh. not going to want to see this. i don't think this is going to work. just ok is not ok. at&t has america's best network, now with our best plans, at our best prices, starting at $35 a line for 4 lines. new from at&t. so bob, what do you take for back pain? before i take anything, i apply topical pain relievers first. salonpas lidocaine patch blocks pain receptors for effective, non-addictive relief. salonpas lidocaine. patch, roll-on or cream. hisamitsu. ♪ i see your face looking into mine ♪ ♪ and when you make me smile meet acqua panna with it's unique journey through the nature of tuscany. ♪ i feel much better acqua panna. me

richard wang what you want to take from that? guess who we are seeing at increasing over time and one thing we have to think about as well is not just more young graduates out of college are people who pursue college but also we have to think about right now we are getting into the ai economy. what is happening right now as we have more than 3 million truckers driving trucks right now and we are seeing autonomous trucks in the next five to 15 years. when that happens we are placing more than 3 million truckers and for some of my colleagues out there those are like robots and here in the united states we have more than 2 million people to that work in call centers. when these things start displacing or workers you look at a rough map to the million call support centers in 5 million truckers how were we going to rescale this audience? that's a big problem that we have to solve. in terms of rescaling our workforce and getting two apprenticeships and the skill gap it's not just the audience of people going to college or graduate coll

richard: absolutely. the fact of houses saying they were not consulted at all and disappointed about this -- obviously for the palace that, strong word i think it shows just how serious situation is. it is effectively unprecedented in modern times that a senior oil should decided to-- senior decided step back from the role. what is clear is that neither of them, prince harry or meghan markle, were hapwe in what they doing. ros: in practical terms, especially for those who don't follow the roy family in detail, what does this mean they will stop doing? richard: they won't be there doing all those events they have th today after day after day. is our understanding. i say they are going to split theire ttween being here in the u.k., where perhaps they will be doing some of those roya duties, it is not clear. but the rest of the time they wi be in north america -- we are sure if that is the united states or canada -- where presumably they will kick back.k this ionfor their archie, as wl, that he will have a m

i think that and i think it was richard i recreate richard hall i think it's the slot but a couple of things in terms of for your education the social security administration says that it's 900000 dollars better to have a bachelor's degree versus the high school degree and to answer your question directly yes k. through 14 versus k. through 12 over a lifetime according to georgetown university there's a $200000.00 difference i do think with regard to. trade's what richard just said is absolutely true and i is coming ai is going to eliminate a lot of manufacturing jobs however it's not here yet and i will note one of things actually the eric spiegel the former c.e.o. of siemens said this was back in 2011 of course there's been a lot of automation since then but he was lamenting the dearth of american qualified employees to fill their open jobs and went then treasury secretary tim geithner was going to ohio want to visit they were noting that you simply despite the unemployment rate couldn't hire the talent that the that we don't have the trade schools in america those 'd still today in

i want to bring in cnn's aviation expert richard quest. richard, thank you so much for joining us. really appreciate it. cnn obtained new video showing a missile appearing to hit the airplane out of the sky. >> richard, tell us what happened here. >> well, if the facts are as we think they are, this was a russian missile, proximity missile fired by the iranians part of a fairly sophisticated surface-to-air missile defense system. and the way it works is that the missile is launched and doesn't strike the target. it's painted -- obviously the radar paints, knows what it's going for. but it explodes in proximity, it's done as a proximity missile. and it does so at the front of the air cavity. we saw this vividly with mh-17, the malaysian airliner that was blown up over eastern ukraine. similarly, a russian proximity missile did the deed. and then here it gets a bit confusing, don, because here there is the suggestion that the plane might have continued flying for just a bit as they turned around and headed back to the airport. but if you look at other video, you then see that the dam

>> reporter: yeah, richard. amid the grief here there's some relief of the add mention of iran and a demand for justice and some anger here. not like in teheran with those extraordinary cries chanting death to the liars meaning iran's leadership over the lies that it's been telling but anger here nonetheless at the things iran has been saying. this afternoon ukraine's president zelensky was called by the iranian president rowhani who assured him that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. president zelensky calling for a full apology and calling for full compensation. but i think what is annoyed a lot of people here are some of the explanations by iran's revolutionary guard. so they say that they shot the plane down by mistake because of a sharp turn that the plane made towards one of their bases. well, president zelensky defended the pilots saying that they had acted properly, the president of the ukrainian airline said the same thing, they didn't deviate from the flight plan. iran was also was blaming i

mostly because of richard men. tt's political acu this defeat by the cook county democratic machine will ignite a political awakening in chicago that would begin with the 1983 election of harold washington. it would go on even beyond that. it would go on to inspire african-americans all across the country to run for public office, including yours truly. barnett's work and political voice committed political voices . dedicate, passionate political oices up and down the ballot ear in and year out. helped richard barnett to alderman and judges. state representatives, members of congress. d personally for me, richard barnett's legacy was centered and his strategic informed advice. i mean you would just marvel sitting at a political education ally where richard barnett would take a group of -- not an organization but this ll-meaning individual from . fferent places sometime telling them not only how to win an election, but why they should win in the election. that to use the very they have been using for decades. nd use

invasion in 2003 just adding to the point that richard mentioned the reason why the u.s. would like to stay in iraq is not because they want to fight isis or because they would like to support the iraqi armed forces which they themselves destroyed when they invaded iraq if if the iraqi security really mattered if the iraqi national security really mattered to the u.s. they wouldn't have the story the armed forces they wouldn't have the story the police force in iraq and that's a militarily vulnerable iraq to iran the safest choice to the majority of the iraqis is to have no external factors being present in iraq but they don't let me ask you that if that if you say that's the safest choice would iraq be in a position to defend its sovereignty without that u.s. presence the presence of foreign to stand any raw iranian facts because as we saw what happened with with i still you know iraqi forces needed that external that external 8. that external aid what was what was it was in addition to the fight against isis if we look at the numbers of soldiers and the numbers of sacri

richard: a holistic issues. ros: go o.n, do richard: titles -- will they remain as royal highnesses? that will certainly remain. what about the house? they have the house in windsor which was renovated and a lot of money, more than 2 million pounds. apparently -- well, we don't know, it the issuwhether they will keep it. it is possible they will have to rent it. really big issue, obviously, security. they are saying they want to spend a time betwixt and between the u.k. and canada, or north america. if it were, for example, in canada, the cost could be huge. security normally comes from police, metropolitan police, and it would rack up huge bills if this a good emphasis were to go with em back and forth between cana and the united kingdom. that is taxpayers' money which would be used for that. the other issue is the financial issues. again, the issueg of them want be financially independent, which presumably means they want to work. but the palace is -- we understand it would be very concerned about going into t

richard, what happened here? >> well, if the facts are as we think they are, this was a russian missile, proximity missile fired by the iranians part of a fairly sophisticated surface-to-air missile defense system. and the way it works is that the missile is launched and doesn't strike the target. it's painted -- obviously the radar paints, knows what it's going for. but it explodes in proximity, it's done as a proximity missile. it does so at the front of the air craft. we saw this vividly with mh-17, the malaysian airliner that was blown up over eastern ukraine. similarly, a russian proximity missile did the deed. and here it gets a bit confusing, don, because here there is the suggestion that the plane might have continued flying for just a bit as they turned around and headed back to the airport. but if you look at other video, you then see that the damage from that missile eventually causes the plane to explode in the air. it falls out of the air. and then it explodes upon the ground. >> okay. richard, are y

raj, what's going on with richard sherman? i know you were just teasing that earlier. >> reporter: yep, this morning we woke up to a little bit of breaking news. richard sherman saying the nfl has now drug tested him for the second straight week and he's not happy about it. let's show you what he tweeted about 90 minutes ago, richard sherman saying this. i wonder how many other players have to get blood taken before the super bowl. probably a very exclusive fraternity. now there is some history here. richard sherman was also drug tested late in the 2012 season. he failed that drug test and was facing a suspension. however, he petitioned the nfl. they overturned the test and he was free and clear. we'll see what happens with this drug test. we're going to expect to see richard sherman later on today when they practice at nearby university of miami in coral gables. a bit of drama here in south florida. let's flashback in time. ready for this. 25 years ago this week right here in miami, florida, the 49ers, the last time they won

>> well, actually, richard, no one has been killed. there were eight rockets balad air base north of baghdad. there were four iraqi air force personnel who were injured, two of them were officers is what we're hearing. so this is something that actually has been happening quite a bit lately. we've been hearing about rockets attack, mainly make and model, landing on bases where u.s. soldiers may or may not be. in this particular instance there were no u.s. soldiers at the base at the time but there had been before. it seems as though u.s. troops had been rotating around, making taking evasive action out of concern for just this type of ventiali eventuali eventuality. you mentioned the threats, the head of hezbollah, north of where i am in israel, he also said that he had been speaking with qassem soleimani and soleimani wasn't planning to attack the embassies. he in his speech today directly recounted and denied what the president had been saying about those four embassies. whether his word matters in this or not, it's unclear. it's not

but as richard hart hasjust said, evidence of that, but as richard hart has just said, you evidence of that, but as richard hart hasjust said, you cannot evidence of that, but as richard hart has just said, you cannot see this out of context of the reprisal and counter reprisal that we have seen and counter reprisal that we have seen between iran and the united states for a long time, and which many people have warned on both sides, stop this, because sooner or later something will happen that is of such magnitude that it will set this cut some of the consequences. that was my reaction today that the killing of tent back one is such a killing of tent back one is such a killing that it moves the dial a lot further. whether it will end it, there would have to be a proportionate descaling, but the evidence suggests that iran will have to find some way to seek a reprisal, because it won't want to seek a writ negotiation from a position of weakness. the white house did not inform the british government in advance of this it has been suggested. i wouldn't be so prized but i don't see any

richard, does it appear this is over as far as iran is concerned? >> reporter: it seems so from here it's clear that iran could have taken far more aggressive actions than it did but the problem in the middle east is when you start a cycle of violence like this, it is very hard to break. tonight, there were two rockets fired at the green zone they didn't hit anything, but if they had, we would be right back in crisis mode, lester. >> richard engel in iraq. >>> while the president brought the temperature of this crisis down a few degrees, he had much it continues to pose kristen welker has more now from the white house. >> reporter: as president trump backed away from the brink of military action today, he still had plenty of tough talk for iran. terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. >> reporter: vowing stiff, new sanctions and pledging not to let iran obtain a nuclear weapon. >> we will never let that happen. our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal and fast. >> reporter: but it's his comment that iran seems to be standing

richard vice a u.s. defense analyst in geneva by skype rickly head of global risk at the geneva center for security policy and here in doha zaid on our middle east sam listen an independent research on identity politics in iraq welcome to you all gentlemen thank you for being on inside story richard in washington d.c. let me start with you the withdrawal of u.s. troops in iraq was something donald trump has wanted since he took office over 3 years ago it was a campaign promise he promised to get u.s. troops out of the middle east so why is he now threatening iraq with sanctions should it force u.s. troops to leave. well even if he wants to you remove u.s. troops now he doesn't want to be look like they're being thrown out but more generally the president trump has as he said campaigned on reducing u.s. foreign military interventions getting allies to take more of the burden financial and otherwise and was not did not favor the original u.s. intervention in iraq but in office he has like many previous pre

it was a scary confrontation to look at. >> i was going to ask both you and richard, because richard had talked about iraqi nationalism. this isn't iraqi nationalism. these are proxies for iran that were at the gate. the iranian regime is desperate, so what do they do? they send drones to blow up saudi oil fields and they send their proxies to invade the u.s. embassy. this doesn't have anything to do with iraqi nationalism. >> does it. >> i don't think the iranian regime is desperate. i think it's a mistake to nund estimate this regime. are they hurt something yes? are the sanctions hurting? yes. is this regime in serious jeopardy? absolutely not i would say. i don't think we should underestimate it. iraqi was manifesting it self over the last couple weeks and months against iran. you had people coming out against iranian influence. what the last couple of days have done is switch things. it was understandable that we responded to the militia strike. what was not understandable or wise was why we necessarily responded within iraq. what it does was put in jeopardy the u.s. diplomatic

richard engel. i will tell you something that you should know. the iranian ambassador to the united nations did an interview with nbc news tonight in which he was asked about what the world should expect in terms of these promises of iranian retaliation. one thing he said in response was solemani was not only popular in iran. iran is not responsible for anything that those supporters might act. i said i do not know when or where or how the reaction will be by those who have seen the action against solemani. that's the iranian ambassador to the u.n. saying we're going to respond, but i can tell you that other people in other countries who feel strongly about this assassination might, too, and we can't be held responsible for what they do. we have much more to get to tonight. obama national security adviser susan rice will be joining us tonight. stay with us. be joining us tonight. stay with us. any comments doug? yeah. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. con liberty mutual solo pagas lo q

richard engel joins us now from northern iraq. it's great to have you. >> it's absolutely great to talk to you on an important night. and i was listening to your introduction and i think you and a lot of other people are now sitting back scratching your head saying what did we just get into, what did president trump just provoke, or what's going to be the response? and you laid out that case, a keystone cops kind of case when the quds force allegedly tried to carry out this assassination in the united states. the quds force is not very good at that kind of thing. it is not the kind of organization that blows up shopping malls or carries out attacks in the united states. it just isn't really built for that kind of thing. it doesn't really project power in that kind of way. but what it does do and what it is exceptionally good at is finding allies in the region operating in its own territory, operating specifically in the middle east. but reaching out very specifically to a subset of groups within the middle east, forging alliances

just just richard would you find president we can do strength and you believe in this i think he will be weakened because his base is is there the people who voted for him in 2016 and abandon republicans in droves in 2018 were suburban largely well educated women they will look at this and be nauseated as they have been all along by. grabbing people by the crotch and so forth this will be more of that and they don't that's not going to get jason both strengthened or weakened the president as a result of this impeachment trial i think it's really his base is going to be more fired up and much more motivated as we go into the presidential year but i think this does step on a lot of his great recent successes the phase one of the china deal u.s. m.c.a. the north america trade agreement redo that they did i think it does step on that and again i think it's bad for the country overall because it's showing just how little this entire process has become and let's not kid ourselves whoever is the next president republican or democrat probably going to get impeached this is now heading up the
