continuing to attack inside si bobbles and let islamic terrorists continue to pass into syria across the turkish order. what is the british government doing to ensure the cease-fire is properly monitored and in particular to produce serious tension between russia and our nato ally, turkey. ..

i wouldn't put too much optimism into the mix right now but this is progress and we should work on it. >> thank you, mr. speaker. two weeks ago i visited the refugee camp and the surrounding area on the jordanian syrian border to assess health care services. i was struck by the remarkable generosity of the jordanian people. however, the local system is a quite significant pressure. would the prime minister me with me to discuss further what britain can do to enhance healthcare services both for the syrian refugees and the wider church in community? >> i'm happy to meet with my honorable friend to discuss this but it is an extraordinary sight because of the scale of the endeavor underway.

i think britain can be proud of what we've done in terms of the direct aid we've given and also the london conference that raised $11 billion. i know he's gotten lost in interest on what we can do to make sure facilities are delivered quickly including using military facilities. i think there may be opportunities for that but we need to make sure the emergency response from ngos and the united nations is as fast as it can be when crises like this happen in the future. >> as the prime minister struggles with certain elements in thi his party over europe doe ever think back on it inspirational prime minister wilson who made similar difficulties but to stood up to the rebels in his own party and secured a yes vote for staying in europe? will be joined with me because harold wilson's -- is next week and could we celebrate it across all parties, a great innovative

prime minister? [shouting] >> i do feel a natural sympathy for anyone who's had this job irrespective of which side of the house we are on. i think he did do some very important things for our country. i know the honorable gentleman has a particular connection to him. i wish his family well on this important centenary, and i'm sure we approach things in different ways but one thing we would have agreed about is britain's future is better off in a reformed european union. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm sure the whole house will join me in expressing our condolences to neil and jennifer burkett, the parents of the two year old who died on valentine's day of meningitis b. since the death 815,000 people have signed a petition calling for the government to vaccinate more children against meningitis b.

i'm proud the uk is the first country to have a vaccination program for meningitis b. could my right honorable friend make sure the cover looks at what more can be done to prevent more children from dying from this horrible disease to? >> on behalf of the whole house let me extend my sympathies and condolences to the parents and all those who have children suffering from this terrible disease. she's right we were the first country in the world to have this vaccination program. the program was based on the advice of the joint committee on vaccination and immunization the recommended targeting the vaccine to protect infants at highest risk. the incident of highest risk does occur in babies of five months, and of the 276 children contracting meningitis b. last year, over 100 were under one year of age. she makes important points. we need to look at all the evidence as to the expert bodies that advise as recognizing britain has taken important steps by being the first coach to vaccinate in this way.

>> order.

♪ [applause] ♪ [applause] >> pick up the guns, here comes the terminator. [clapping with music] ♪ [applause] >> arnold's. [cheering] [applause]

>> oh my god. >> the governator.

i joined the all-stars when i was in sixth grade. i grew up in a single-parent home and watched my older brother struggle with gang activity after school. after my brother was shot, i knew i needed to choose another path. that was the path that changed my life. i am now in my first year of college, and i am very grateful for the organization that was founded by arnold schwarzenegger. [applause] >> it is my honor to introduce

to you governor arnold schwarzenegger. arnold: thank you there he much for the wonderful introduction, and i am so proud of you because you chose the right path. the only way kids can choose the right path is if we give them the opportunities, and this is why we started the afterschool programs because it gives kids a chance to have adults to position after school. this is why afterschool programs are so important. we are glad for the wonderful work you are doing. let's give him a big hand again. [applause]

arnold: i have to tell you, i love ohio. [applause] arnold: i love ohio. it is such a wonderful state. i remember in 1970 my love affair began here. before i talk about my love affair, i want to say briefly and recognize the passing of nancy reagan today. she was one of the greatest first ladies, and extraordinary human being, and such a wonderful partner to her husband, president reagan. he was without a doubt one of the greatest presidents of united states. [applause] and i know she would join us in heaven and this love affair between the two will start all over again. let's please have a moment of silence for nancy.

thank you. that let me talk about my love affair with ohio. in 1970, jim, come over here for a second. just come over here, jim, because it is important that you see the person that is responsible with my love affair. right here he is. give him a big hand. this is my partner. [applause] jim ran the world championships in weightlifting and in bodybuilding in 1970, and i won that competition.

and i told him that competition was so well run, that i would come back after i retired from bodybuilding, and he would be my partner, and we would be running the world championships in columbus, ohio. that is exactly what happened. from 1976 on, for four decades we have been running every year the world championships and bodybuilding right here in columbus, ohio. [applause] i just came from there, because this weekend is the honor of classic fitness festival. it has grown to the biggest event in the world. 200,000 people are going through there and watching those events. we have 56 different sports, and we have almost 20,000 athletes participating. think about that.

the great work and the dedication and the passion of the people of ohio, and specifically of columbus. a big hand to all the people that work so hard to make this happen. [applause] now one day, my friend said to me, arnold, you are coming for the classic, and for sports and fitness festival, i want you to meet a guy by the name of john kaisich, who is running for congress. this was back in the 1980's. i said i am coming. i came to the event, i listened to john kasich. and he was extraordinary what he said. and from that point on, i was campaigning for him, and i was doing fundraisers for him, and let me tell you something -- when he went to washington, he kicks some serious butt. he was an action hero when he went to washington. as the chairman of the house budget committee, he pushed

through the first balanced budget. the first balance budget since a man walked on the moon. think about that for a second. [applause] so he showed real action. then when he ran for governor, i said to him, i will be back. [laughter] and he ran, and i was there again, and his fundraisers, and i did events for him and everything. and then he became governor of the great state of ohio. and once again he was the action hero. he went in there, there was an $8 billion budget deficit. now there is a $2 million surplus. [applause]

and not only that, he did this without raising taxes. as a matter of fact, he did the opposite. he reduced taxes by $5 billion. think about that. by $5 billion he reduced the taxes. [applause] and at the same time, he created more than 300,000 jobs. we always talk about those numbers, 300,000, the percentage, all of those things. it does not mean that much, but each person goes home, and says i can provide for my family. i have a job. i am somebody. it makes you feel good when you have a job, when you feel wanted, when you feel needed, that it is what it means for each person, each of those 300,000. so john, you have done such an extraordinary job, and in so -- it means so much when those people go to work. this is the kind of action hero he is. i tell you, he will be like that if he will be in washington, because right now we need leadership like that. there is so much work that needs to be done. [applause]

i tell you, i am an immigrant, i came here in 1968 with absolutely nothing, but i was full of dreams. and because this is the land of opportunity, because of america, i could make all of my dreams become a reality. through hard work and dedication, i was successful in bodybuilding, in show business, i became governor of the state of california, i made a lot of money, all because of america. this is the land of opportunity, it is the greatest nation in the world, no matter what anyone says out there. [applause] and we need john kasich to now take charge and be at the white house.

and this is why i endorse john kasich, our great governor. [cheers] to be our republican nominee, and to be the next president of the united states of america, the greatest country in the world. ladies and gentlemen, welcome a very good friend, governor john kasich. [applause] governor kasich: thank you. thank you. thank you, everybody. well, let me just say to begin, by the way, that is the kasich express. it just keeps rolling. it just keeps rolling along. i want to say word about nancy reagan, because today my wife is going with me for a couple of days on the trail. and i am thrilled that she is going to be with me. my staff is thrilled because

they say that she keeps me in line. i have a sense that was a little bit that way with nancy reagan and her husband, and she looked out for him every step of the way. and she made sure that the people who were -- [laughter] >> you have got a little hair on you. gov. kasich: she didn't do that, sweety. she made sure the people who were around him, were committed to what he believed in. she was an incredible lady. she was very strong, and a total class act. and i have got to tell you, she is now with her ronnie and with the lord, and it is great. so god bless them, and god bless america for what ronald reagan and nancy reagan did for this country. [applause] i do not know how much you really know about arnold. you know about him as the

terminator, you know about him as the big actor. he is going to be on this new great stroke, celebrity apprentice, you will see that soon. he is building another terminator. and he is taking the arnold classic global. they are on all the continents now. as governor of california, businessman, all of it. but this young man who was here, i don't know if you heard what he was saying. he knew he needed to change his life, because he knew if he did not change his life, he would probably lose his life. it was a number of years ago when arnold created the afterschool all-stars. and this a program that takes kids who could very easily join a gang

find themselves on drugs. totally isolated. being able to realize their god-given potential. these all-stars is an incredible program. it is growing. i went to his place where arnold was going to be. anybody ever seen arnold here. he is here all the time. he is here with the kids and he gives 100% of himself because of his commitment to afterschool all-stars. what they have done for children who need to find their way. we are now running one of the biggest afterschool all-star programs anywhere outside of the state of california. me toadership inspired make sure that this program is funded and has strong support.

arnold came, he and i have been friends for a long time. in 2010.ere he flew all the way in. he said i want to help you. i was whining to him about the negative campaigning those going on. i said arnold this is really not fair. johnoked at me and he said love the beatings. [laughter] it is just great. eat up the moguls john. he gave me this jacket.

i am officially the terminator too [applause] [laughter] i want to thank you all for coming here. about that kasich express. it just keeps chugging along. 1977 i was running as a 24 euro kid we had a little newsletter called the case express. it just keeps chugging along. i get into this race with my team. the country really needs help. the country needs leadership. i think the reason why arnold and i are friends is that we both admire great leadership. about ronald reagan.

he enabled people to play at a much higher level. great leaders like winston churchill. involvedht they were and there was rubble in the streets. he went out there to say we will never ever ever give in. these kinds of leaders allow us to perform. and should be able to accomplish real things. when i think about ronald reagan, i think about the resurgence of america. watchedht when we all the berlin wall come down. people jumped on that wall with their hammers. i'm not sure what they were pounding. maybe they were pounding out their hopes and their dreams. and their spite. at the security guards they tried to deny them their god-given potential.

leadership can bring about great things. do we have challenges and problems today oh yes we do. a lot of people are worried that their job won't be there anymore. deal will hitdes them in the back of the head and somebody will walk in and say you are out of work. you are 52 years old and you don't know what the future is for you. put theirpeople who money in a bank expecting to get interest. they got zero. they are living in the basement after ringing up a huge college debt and have no prospects for

the future. or the senior who worries about their social security. am i going to get it? and the young people who believe now that there is a better chance of seeing a ufo than a social security check. i get that. for those who wonder, can we be safe in america, are we a leader of the world anymore? these are real, real issues. you know how i understand them? i grew up in that town. i thought if the wind blew the wrong way, people were out of luck and were out of work. many of you have been with me for many many years. i have never lost in my minds eye, i have never lost the sense that people at times feel powerless, they feel they have no one to represent them, they feel that nobody stands up for them. that is what i have been dedicated to. creating economic
