the united states of america and an expanded european common market. >> he also went before united states labor to tell the country's need for his new trade proposals. here he talks at a meeting in florida. >> european market is a tremendous market. it has more people than we do, it's rate of growth is twice ours, its income is about three fifths of ours, and may someday be equal to ours. this can be a great asset, not only to them, but to us. a great strength in western europe, the united states, latin america, japan, together, as a great area freedom and it is a fact, that the six countries of the common market face of the problems that we now face in the last four years, full employment, and economic growth twice hours. even a country which faced staggering economic problems a decade ago, italy, has been steadily building its gold back, cutting down on its unemployment and moving ahead twice of that over the last four years. so, when i'm talking about is an opportunity, not a burden. this is a chance to move the united states forward in the 19 sixties. not only in the economic sphere,

of such units. there's a long history of tenant occupancy in this building. previous owner and the tenants union rep can both attest to that. whether or not current tenants who are short-term renters agree to vacate the premises does not change the fact. and furthermore, the owners claim that the unit cannot be legalized is not valid. the unit has legal floor-to-ceiling heights and can easily be legalized. also, the owners promised to put the replacement luxury units under rent control is preposterous. this commission has no authority to stipulate this as part of their approval condition as the city attorney can attest to that. so let's be clear. should you approve the demolition of two rent-controlled units, you are not upholding the general plan policy of the city whose planning commission you've been appointed to. that's why we urge you to just say no to this demolition. >> thank you. that's your time. >> rent controls -- >> good afternoon, commissioners. sponsors say they will submit their new u

was his comment that the united states is different from all other countries because the united states was founded on an idea on a concept. and that concept is said was freedom and human rights. and that's why he's got to bring up his question of human rights. any american president would do? so he said, because it's part of our dna. maybe there was an idea. maybe there were some people who supported human rights, but as historians know, us was founded on enslavement of millions of africans and then later african americans and founded on the massacre of the navy, american populations. that was not really human rights. the way i define human rights, so maybe nobody told bite and about the 1619 project. maybe nobody informed biden of the last 60 years of historical scholarship in this country. but clearly this kind of simplistic ideological interpretation analysis is not going to do anybody, any good enough america bashing. give me some put in mythologies. well, had his own, his own that trips into la la land. prudence said that he talked about cider and he said the fight, the biggest of

ct unit like the 23rd. they are going to be mostly a mixture of enslaved men, some friedman and some men who were already free. in the movie lincoln, one of the first scenes you will see will show lincoln talking with two u.s. ct soldiers. one was an older gentleman, a former slave, and he talked about the battle of jenkins ferry on april 30th, 1864. he talked about how they make sure that there were no confederates left alive, and that is because they were retaliating for the atrocities of the confederates when they murdered the prisoners taken at poison spring and march mill. in a few battles, you do have usct retaliating for those atrocities, and you will have confederates doing the same thing. that is part -- that part of civil war history is rarely discussed. i remember all through school that they were telling me that the united states civil war was a civil war. you did not have as much violence and atrocities that you would see another wars. and since i've become a historian, i can tell you that's no

the japan, for example, from italy, and more importantly in the united states. so i think we cannot just focus on china . for example, patient 0 for the spanish crew cannot be found in spain this back in the united states because the american soldier brought the problem to spake. that's more than 100 years ago. we need to use a similar mythology to methodology to really find the real origin of the yeah. and so the w h o ted ro side. norma says, all i bought, this is remain on the table and it requires further investigation whether it came from. and of course, you mentioned the american scientist to back the chinese government's view about the origin of corona virus. well, it turns out that lab was funded by the us taxpayer, the one now a shadow is cost over it by nicholas wade. loon m 6, c a and and okay, some journalists may just take their information from the intelligence agencies that you have legal reasons, but it is a w h o that says we need to investigate china. i hope you will read the conclusion of the w h l scientific team very carefully. that's not wh

so the united states botanic garden is a very old institution within the united states government with really fascinating routes. it may not seem obvious today, but the founding fathers were quite unified in their insistence on the creation of a national botanic garden. i like to begin the story of the united states botanic garden in 1796 when george washington wrote a letter in which he laid out his vision for a federal university and a federal botanical garden and he was quite adamant as the chief executive at the time that it be present near the president's house would eventually became the white house and unfortunately washington never lived to see the botanic garden realized within his lifetime nor did the botanical garden get put actually near the white house, but eventually it was created and as a part of the united states capital complex. i should note one interesting thing if i may as a point of syntax. i will always try to say botanic garden when speaking about the us botanic garden but in the general sense talking about generic botanical gardens. i may go back and forth and

the united states cannot fight the concerns with china alone. it needs to do it together with europe. we are not there yet as a unified front and a cooperative front between the united states and europe when it comes to china on all fronts, whether cyber, supply chains and so on. i think we made a lot of progress, and the idea of the united states going to europe and having the g7 summit, meeting at nato and talking about china in that context as the first trip as president, that goes a long way. i am in brussels meeting with officials from the commission, and clearly the messages there -- the message is there. on areas of climate, china controls significant percentages of solar manufacturing, components. if we allow that to continue, the united states and europe will face a new opec when it comes to the energy system of the future, and it will not be several countries in the middle east. it will be china and a few others. there is a great risk here. we just saw coming off of four years of the trump administration with little cooperation with th

cuba, five vaccine candidates, despite the unilateral sanctions by the united states. difficulty in raw materials, difficulty in terms of establishing commercial contracts with other countries around the world because of these sanctions. just a few days ago, we learned about the fact venezuela had paid the last payment for the covax mechanism to access vaccines and this last payment was frozen so they're not yet able to access a mechanism that was created -- in developing countries. health sovereignty means strengthening our capacity to develop and investigate, research, and produce vaccines and other types of health technologies that we need. this must be upled with health system strengthening. we have great history of this and recent history of strengthening health systems in latin america and the global south, much more needs to happen because we have a counter power -- for instance, i am at has agreements witthe countries like ecuador where i am from where it is imposing new liberal policies and ecuador in 2020, we w 10% budget cuts in the health sector. you would

plays in the united nations. i think it's important for us to do that, and i think a lot of the times conflicts avoided can never be really measured, you know, in the sake of how diplomacy works and one of the things to maintain the legitimacy of the u.n. and our role there is to talk about sometimes when absurdity happens and one of those, the assad regime has killed its own people and this will be one of the shames of this generation that this happened and we look at, of course, the refugee crisis and everything associated with it. we saw another, in fact, this week in another hospital in idlib being targeted by assad and his russian backers. i'm sure that it's a war crime to knowingly bomb hospitals. so given assad's record for targeting hospitals, what do you make of the recent news that syria has been appointed to the world health organization's executive board? >> agree with you that it's absurd and they should not be there. i met, when i was at the border with the white helmets. these are these amazing, yo

on the situation. despite attempts by european members and the united states, the united states ambassador to the un when the thomas greenfield described the situation as a man made humanitarian emergency. the security council's failure is unacceptable. we have addressed other emergent crisis with public meetings, but not with this one. so i asked those who refused to address this issue publicly . do african lives not matter? it's time for the security council to have a public meeting on this issue. it's time for the counsel to take meaningful action to address the crisis. a closed door meeting is in the works for next week, but humanity and official say stronger security council action would help them get the 3 things they need to address the crisis. an end to the violence, more access, and more money to buy food. still ahead on al jazeera israeli media release footage of palestinian prisoners being beaten and abused. activist famous treatment is widespread and systemic addressing the racism against communities of color, holding the police accountable. and the race to become new york top

united there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. divided there is little we can do. for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. to those new states that we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. we shall not always expect to find them supporting our view, but we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom. and to remember that in the past, those who foolishly thought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. [ applause ] to those people in the huts and villages of half the globe, struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves. for whatever period is required, not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it's right. if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
