practice. but our at hearings to a common creed. a believe that all people are created equal. a belief in free speech and freedom of and, we have observed those imperfectly at times, but with each successive generation we got a little better at it. we have come closer to our ideals. and the notion that somehow we , on what has been attracting talent and strivers and dreamers from all around the world, that would rob us of the thing that is most

special about america. and i do not think that will happen. concerned genuinely about immigration that is not orderly. ng across borders without having gone through some sort of process. sense thatpeople's things are out of control. and that is why we have invested in securing our borders. and we have made unprecedented investments as part of the reason why illegal immigration in the united states is actually at its lowest level since the 1970's. it is why we so value the cooperation we have obtained from the mexican government in making sure our borders work to fulfill legal trade and legal immigration and commerce.

illegalourages immigration. it is why i am pushing very hard and will continue to push until i leave this office, and continue to think the next president should push for, a comprehensive reform plan. ofy can fix those aspects the system that are broken so that we remain a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. that is ultimately what people in the united states wants. we have at times throughout our history that anti-immigration sentiment is exploited. it was directed at the iris, poles, and -- irish, italians. aboutn see what was said those groups, and you can see it is identical to what is now being said about mexicans, el salvador ian's, asians.

they are different, they will not fit, they will not assimilate, they bring crime. same arguments. you go back to the 1800s, it is the same. but guess what? they kept coming. and they kept coming because america offered possibility for their children and their grandchildren, and even if they were initially discriminated against, they understood that our system will over time allow them to become part of this one american family. and so we should take some of the rhetoric seriously and answer boldly and clearly. not think ofld that as representative of how the american people think.

>> and now our third question from the united states, from "reuters." i should alsoa: point out that roberta is secretly from canada. [laughter] nowident obama: so canadians get an extra question. [laughter] >> given the brexit vote, do you think you need to do more to calm the markets quickly and encourage a quick exit, rather than something long and drawn out? do you think england should be for a back of the queue trade agreement for the u.s.? and will you make a prescription on your campaign trail while stumping for ms. clinton?

you seem to be quite careful when you talk about mr. trump. renegotiating nafta or tearing up with these such a disaster for canada. why not come out and say that forcefully? pena nieto, you compared mr. trump to hitler and mussolini, i wonder how firmly stand behind that? ok.ident obama: [laughter] president obama: excellent question some of roberta. [laughter] president obama: canadians are little more subtle. [laughter] president obama: i am going to help out my friends a little bit , even though the question was not directed at me. --n i visit other quite countries, it is not my job to comment on candidates in the middle of a race because they may end up winning. and the relationship between governments tend to transcend

whoever is in power at any given time. so it is a tough question. i am not saying they should not answer it, i'm just helping them out a little bit. [laughter] there is noama: doubt that when i have visited countries i have had preferences, but i rarely expect them. with respect to brexit, i think you have seen the markets settle down over the past couple of days. i did not follow the markets today. but we have been monitoring very carefully whether there is any .ystemic strains on the system so far, what you have seen is, reactions in the market, stock prices, currencies. that wereeparations done by central banks and finance ministers indicate the degree to which the global willmy in the short run

hold steady. are genuine, longer-term concerns about global growth if in fact brexit goes through and that freezes the possibilities of investment in great britain or europe, as a whole. timeline, global rates were week already. this does not help. 20 summit,tended the g one of the main topics i have advocated for in the seven and a half years i have been president, is, we all have to do what we can to boost global demand. whether it is the u.s. adopting a more robust budget for

infrastructure improvements, fixing water systems in flint, repairing airports that are not as efficient as they should be, rebuilding our power grid so that it can take advantage of cleaner energy. , a countryis germany with a surplus doing more in terms of spending, or europe as a whole, lifting from the austerity constraints that have been placed on it. or china shifting to a more consumer-based strategy, rather than trying to export its way out of problems -- there will be a whole host of measures we can take to fortify the global economy. and that should be a top priority of hours. with respect to the actual brexit negotiations, my main message to david cameron and others is that everybody should

catch their breath, come up with a plan and a process that is orderly, that is transparent, that people understand. proceed, understanding that both sides have a stake in getting this right. i think that that will be a difficult, challenging process, but it does not need to be a panicky process. i think it will be a steady, sensible process. obviously, leadership issues in great britain will need to be resolved or its and move as briskly and effectively as it needs to. but i think that is recognized, and that should happen fairly quickly.

merkel, herellor is not in retribution. her interest is in making sure that the process works. and i have a lot of confidence in people being able to do that. and we will help in any way that we can to facilitate that. the last part of your question is, with respect to the u.k., and any trade agreement with the united states, frankie, we are the least of their problems right now because their first order of business is to address the market where they sell half their goods, which is europe. things are not easily negotiated, because we been spending our time trying to negotiate with the european union. so to suddenly go off on another track would be challenging.

but there first and primary concern is going to be to try to figure out how they interact with the european union and the european market, if and when in fact they leave. have emphasized throughout that the special relationship we have with great britain does not change. ties of affection and family and language and institutions and culture and the business relationships that exist -- those are so deep and long lasting, the cooperation we have on security issues, and global challenges, those are so fundamental. the u.k.ionship with fundamentally does not change. that theirerned absence from the european union and the potential disruptions

within europe make it harder for us to solve some of the other challenges that have to be solved. >> one of the things that is inflatedorget amid the rhetoric of the campaigns is that the relationship between our three countries goes far deeper than any individual leaders. if the three of us get along it is not because we are aligned with many different values and priorities, it is very much because we serve citizens who are they themselves tremendously aligned in terms of priorities, hopes and dreams, in terms of desire for success. when you look at the level of

integration, of our supply chains, of our market, the flow back and forward across borders of goods and people, and the tremendous benefits that have come from proximity and strong relationships to individual citizens across the continent, that regardless of electoral rhetoric, canada, the united states, and mexico will continue to have tremendously close relationships. economically, culturally, socially, familiarly, historically, and toward the future. said many times and i will say again, i look forward to theing with whomever american people choose to elect as their president in november.

we will always be able to find shared priorities and challenges that we will work together to overcome. know that our commitment to doing what is right and what is best for our citizens will lead us to much more alignment than differentiation. >> i will go straight to the mynt to describe administration and own point of view. i will say it again, my government will respect fully the domestic, electoral process in the united states. i do not think i have said anything different from what i am stating once again here. said is that i did

not make reference to a specific place. my words reinforce what i believe. in this global scenario, and i will use president obama's words. us a hand toe gave address this. we are addressing a global populated, interconnected world with its own challenges. what i have said, in the world we are living in different places, we have political leaders, political stakeholders that use demagoguery and have slogan that it wants to eliminate and destroy what has been built, what has taken decades to build, to go back to problems of the past.

and yet, it is true. benefits -- those leadership, those political actors, by using populism and thegoguery, they choose easiest way to solve the challenges of today's world. and things are not that simplistic. it is not as easy as that to lead a country, to take on our responsibility, to rule a country goes beyond giving the easiest answer. it is complex and it is difficult to lead a country. we have reached global development, without a doubt,

with 30 years back. never before global society of has lived inntries the level of development and well-being that we enjoy today. has her been such a high life expectancy as we have today. never before have we had the access to the knowledge of the world, as fast and as easy as we do today. never before such a connection between society and the having access to any corner of the world as we do today. and that was built throughout the years by using the model based on openness, free trade, , and theeements

is tot challenge today make sure that those benefits reach out to every single citizen. that the solution proposed by some is not by destroying what we have built, not taking a to choose a road toward isolationism and destruction. what we need to do is keep up the pace toward development. when i said that, i mentioned that most of what some people , president similar obama said it years back -- some leaders address societies in those terms. hitler and mussolini did that. and the outcome is clear to everyone, the devastation. it turned out to be a tragedy mankind.

that was my message that i make reference to -- to value what we have and also be aware of what to work toward. that is the benefit we are looking for, to our society. question -- mr. trudeau, with the goals that you said are ambitious for clean energy, does this mean the u.s. will import ?ore hydroelectricity does it mean the u.s. will have to import more hydroelectricity from canada? certainly, the agreement we have concluded towardalues our shift

cleaner, renewable energy. amounthas a tremendous of energy that comes from clean sources right now. we are always looking to create more. not just astogether two countries, but three countries with energy solutions for our citizens while protecting future generations from the impact of climate change is something we are entirely agreed on. one of the things we have through years of following different paths toward solutions, there is no one, single solution to our energy challenges or the challenges posed by climate change. needed to be creative, we to be innovative, and we need to work together. the conclusion of this ambitious continental energy strategy is so important.

how we are going to do not just our fair share to combat the global challenges of climate change, but how to demonstrate that cleanand show energy and clean growth are exactly the solution and the opportunity that we face because of climate change. >> it is true that the agreement we came to today is very important. because it allows us to fight climate change, but it is also very important when it comes to investing in green energy. and clean growth in our country. tonow that we will have pursue multiple, different solutions when it comes to clean energy. cooperation and the

collaboration we have highlighted today among our three countries will give rise to innovative solutions that are positive in the areas of green energy. i cannot wait to work with the united states and mexico in order that together we can face climate change challenges. it is not just a matter of doing our fair share, it is a matter of showing leadership in the world. when it comes to climate change and free energy, we have to do more than our fair share. to show the future of the environment and the economy involves taking -- making responsible decisions for the environment and green energy. thank you. >> even when this question was

addressed to the u.s. and canada, -- as it has been mentioned here, we are also committed to clean energy. mexico has revamped its legal 20 24, atso that by least 30% of the generation of energy is clean. this is an agreement they made in this meeting to reduce other .ollutants like methane what i would like to say is that our three countries share the same agenda in environmental issues. we have agreed to protect our world and find solutions that we are already working on.

justin got ita: right, we set a goal. we are coordinating and .ynchronizing best practices and there will be an energy mix in each of our countries that will be different. it will be determined by what natural resources we have, by how well we can integrate the grid and transmission of power. there may be some wonderful hydroelectric power we want to get to the u.s., the question is, are there enough transmission facilities for us to be able to buy it at a competitive price? energy,we develop wind we need an infrastructure to get wind produced in south dakota down to chicago. each of us will have national plans, but the point is, by

setting these goals, creating these coordinating mechanisms, we are in a better position to take advantage of the confluence of interests and economies and i viewnities to read this clean energy sector as an enormous opportunity. oil is cheap right now. .ut it is not going to be cheap i have said this before, those guzzlers,chasing gas it is a finite resource and becomes more and more expensive to extract, and people are taking climate change more and more seriously. we are in a transition phase, but in the meantime, technology is moving. and solar and wind and hydro and bio, entire technologies we have not even thought of yet. there is some 15-year-old kid somewhere who has figured it

out, i don't know if he is in mexico, canada, the united or saudir china, arabia, but somebody out there is going to figure it out. opportunity to prove to all workers and all and our communities. whoever wins this race, everyone else will follow. and i believe we have the architecture to lead. we have such a huge market between our three countries that we can test out a lot of these opportunities to figure out which work best. i want to say one last thing though, it has been a running thread in the questions. that is the issue of populism. can pull up the phrase

in a dictionary, but i am not prepared to concede the notion that some of the rhetoric that has been popping up is populist. when i ran in 2008, and the reason i ran again, and the reason even after i leave this office i will work in some capacity in public service, is because i care about people, and i want to make sure every kid in america has the same opportunities that i had. and i care about poor people who are working really hard and do not have a chance to advance. and i care about workers ring ale -- being able to have collective voice in the

workplace and get their fair share of the pie. and i want to make sure that kids are getting a decent education, that a working mom has a childcare she can trust. and i think we should have a tax system that is fair, and that folks like me who have benefited from the incredible opportunities in society should pay a little more to make sure that somebody else's kids who were not as lucky have those same opportunities. and i think there should be curbs on the excesses of our financial sector so we do not repeat that financial debacles of 2007 and 2008. i think there should be transparency and how our systems work so we do not have people dodging taxes by setting up offshore accounts in other places and avoiding the

responsibilities that their fellow citizens who do not have --cy lawyers and accountants that they cannot benefit from the same tricks. i suppose that makes me a populist. else who has never shown any regard for workers, has never fought on behalf of social justice issues, or major that poor kids are getting a decent shot at life or have fact, care,, has in worked against economic opportunity for workers and ordinary people. they do not suddenly become a populist because they say something controversial in order to win votes. that is not the measure of populism.

that is nativism or xenophobia. or worse. that is just cynicism. i would advise everybody to be careful about somebody --tributing , it appears we lost our signal from canada. president obama wrapping up the news conference with canadian prime minister justin trudeau penaaccident president nieto. we apologize -- it is not sure we will get that signal back, but that news conference was just about wrapped up. we had more from the president in under one hour. he will speak to the canadian

parliament act 5:25 eastern. we will bring it to you live courtesy of canada's public affairs channel. >> sunday night on q1 date, a two-part interview with politician mark green, author of "bright infinite future" a memoir on the progressive rise in which he talks about his life and career in public office. >> you've got to have a drive that might be undesirable in a spouse or a friend. you have to wake up and go to sleep and think, i want this so much. if you do everything, you win. >> part one heirs sunday night at 8:00 eastern on q&a.

rt will air 9:00 p.m. eastern on c-span two. the state department briefing with deputy spokesman mark toner. he said the u.s. did not have any credible evidence of an imminent threat before the terrorist attack at the istanbul airport in turkey. the state department cannot confirm that isis was responsible, but confirmed there were no u.s. casualties. >> ok, off to a good start. welcome to the state department. i would like to begin by reiterating what i, and we expressed last night in the statement, which is that we are shocked and saddened by yesterday's attack on istanbul ataturk airport. the u.s. extends its deepest condolences to the families of the victims, as well as our hopes for a quick recovery for all those that are wounded in

that vicious attack. we remain in close touch with turkish authorities and will remain so. let there be no doubt that we stand in solidarity with our nato allies, turkey, in combating the common threat that we face from terrorism. these kinds of attacks only reinforce our determination to work with the government of turkey to counter the scourge of terrorism and to support all those across the region who are working to spread -- working to promote peace and reconciliation. we are not aware of any u.s. citizen deaths. we are aware of reports of u.s. citizens who were near the attack location, but no reports of u.s. citizens seriously injured. immediately following the attack, i can say that the u.s. consulate in istanbul issued an emergency mission -- emergency message urging citizens to avoid

the area around the airport. u.s. citizens should check with local media and obviously with social media sites and the website of the u.s. consulate for the latest updates. i want to mention, as many of you know, the secretary is in ottawa, accompanying president obama at the north american leaders summit, where he joined with prime minister trudeau and president pena nieto of mexico. the leaders discussed in their vision for a more integrated north america that provides a prosperous and secure future for the citizens of all three countries and permits north american leadership on global and regional challenges. they discussed concrete initiatives to promote peace, security, development, to enhance competitiveness and global economy and to expand opportunities for citizens.

they announced an historic clean energy and environment partnership that better harmonizes our countries climate and energy strategies. without come over to you. >> we start with a stable. istanbul.t with given the seriousness of the attacks this year, are you advising americans to put off any travel or any plans they might have to visit turkey? ure, we saw yesterday, partly coincidently, that we issued a travel warning. an updated travel warning, if you will. that was done in this case. friendly, it was an update of an existing travel warning.

when departure was approved or exchanged from members of the embassy community -- what had happened was we extended the march 20 16th order departure of turkey of their members from our consulate. and that was through july. yes, no i understand that. i was speaking to why the order was extended and reissued yesterday. >> or monday night. >> monday night, you're right. broadly speaking, and in more response to your question -- we did note in this travel warning increased threats from terrorists groups to u.s. citizens. about the fact that extremists have targeted airports, transportation hubs throughout europe, not just within turkey. otherortation systems;

vulnerable targets, if you will. a spateseen obviously, of ongoing terrorist attacks in turkey. but again, we are not saying americans should not travel to turkey. in any such instance, whether it is brussels or paris, we are simply reminding americans, as just toneed reminding, be up-to-date on the current information. bring with them there's streetsmarts, if i could put it that way. just be situationally aware on the ground. on.old you are not saying that this is not an islamic state tap? >> no one has confirmed that it. >> you do not believe the

islamic state was responsible for this attack? >> i cannot confirm that. people have spoken to that, but let us allow the trick is investigation to play out until we say who is responsible. allow the turkish investigation to play out until we say who is responsible. >> hear me out, there seems to be some dissonance between what is called the increased isis and whatf basi mr. brennan said on the hill, that there has been no reduction rtegy toeduction sta reduce terrorism. what does the secretary mean when these terrorist attacks have been, and he's saying that is showing how they are getting weaker or more desperate? again, in this case,

what the secretary is clearly pressureg, is as you -- as you increase pressure on the battlefield in iraq and syria. and we have seen that they have must territory and have lost key footholds in falluja and elsewhere. ,nd as they are under pressure or rather -- they are under pressure. but that does not affect their ability to carry out terrorist attacks, either in europe or elsewhere in the world, in turkey especially. we have also seen it in baghdad and iraq. they are capable, and in their desperation, perhaps more

willing and liable to carry out these attacks to continue to will.their >> what does that say, then, about the anti-isis campaign? inflicteir ability to harm on the united states, not take villages in syria? >> it is a multi-front effort. we have talked about this before. at the same time that you have from the daesh territory that it is claimed in iraq and syria, at the same time stopave to be able to their ability to recruit as well as stop their ability to create terrorist networks elsewhere. that is a real challenge.

it is always easy for a couple of individuals with access to weaponry and it was since and the intent to kill themselves to carry out these kind of brutal terrorist attacks. but that doesn't mean it isn't a challenge we can't eventually address. it speaks to the complexity. please. warning; i sawl the travel warning that came out on monday night, and i compared to the opening sentence on the one that came out on march 29, and they are identical. the one that came out; they both "the u.s. department of state warns u.s. citizens of increased threats of terrorist groups in turkey and to avoid travel to southeastern turkey." one of the challenges i think we all have in dealing with your travel warnings is that they are generally not annotated, so it's not possible to know what is

different, except by looking at the previous one. so i looked at the previous one and it basically said the same thing. i realize there is a slight difference -- one province was dropped off, and if someone. -- and so on. how is an american citizen thinking of going to turkey understand that the increased threats you are reporting on monday are any different from the increased threats from groups you have reported on march 29? questions --ivil were there even more threats that had come out prior to june 27 that made you issue this, or not? >> that is a fair question. first of all, always check with travel. state.gov. they are in easy website to remember for travelers to get the most up-to-date information

specific to a given country. but in the case of this travel alert that was reissued, it was certainly updated but you are right, it is hard to distinguish. with a particular case, relatively few tweaks, the same threat level persisted. and so i understand that your point -- why should a traveler take any more notice of that? i think the traveler to turkey and many parts of the world has to be aware that the threat remains in place and act accordingly. >> but what i am asking is simpler. did the u.s. government, and did the issuance of the june 27 travel alert -- did the u.s. government have any relation to believe that would be an attack on june 28 or upcoming?

>> no. that was the second part of my answer. and i realize there is a range oducts" we put out for the american traveler. a travel warning is a travel warning. if we have credible information about an imminent threat or a developing situation, even if it wasn't terrorist attack, but any natural disaster, what we would use is an emergency message. there is reserved for imminent events or threats that might require immediate action on u.s. citizens. that could be threats on citizens, natural disasters. after the attack, we issued emergency messages immediately. >> to make it more simpler-- [laughter] did you have any understanding there would be a threat in

turkey on monday? , i am sorry i have not been clear on this. as i said, we did not have imminent or actionable intelligence. >> got it. okay. second question, and i think it's a simple question. you state on march 29 that there is increased threat of attacks by terrorists groups in turkey, and he stayed exactly the same thing. "there is increased threats of on june 27" --ns were there more threats on june 27, or was the threat level any higher? was there any increase in the number of threads on june 27 than there had been in march? i can't necessarily discuss

the specific details of the threat information we have, except the actionable intelligence that a given site was going to be tarred -- going to be targeted. the language in our latest travel warning for turkey, which did note increased increased -- increased threats from terrorist groups. [indiscernible] >> increased from the previous travel warning. okay. that is helpful because it helps us understand a little better. is there no way -- you look at the march travel warning, and it notes the order departure. there is no timeline on that

order departure in that travel warning, some mistaken. it just said you order departure, and they are ordered gone until you recently that. that. resend i am not sure why you find it necessary to put out a note on monday night asked denting to the order departure until a particular date -- monday night extending the order departure until a particular date. i'm not sure why you did cited to have an end date, because it was indefinite when you originally did it. why do that? >> i don't think it was indefinite. internally at least, we have to extend these periodically. it was an effort to notify the public that in order to barter was going to be extended. that is my understanding, it has to be done amazingly by the state department.

cash it has to be done administratively by the state department. not try to make more explicit the difference between the travel warning from june and march? it seems that american citizens would have benefited from knowing on monday that there was even more threats than there had been in march. i mean, why not make that clear? are issuing this because there were more threats out there than our last one." it just seems that your giving the citizenry more information. why not do that rather than forces to do this tell modicum reading -- this talmudic reading, i'm not understanding urs later what

the difference is? i think this vehicle, which is the travel warning is a way to periodically update the american public on where we assess thewe security of a given country. and it could be for a lot of reasons, not just terrorism, although that is what we talk about most. in that respect, it does not. -- it does that. if we have information about an imminent attack or threat, that is a different vehicle that we will use to notify the public. >> but it's just a practical question. maybe there is an answer, but it don't understand why you wouldn't give people more information if you have it.

you said there was more threat information-- >> yeah, i will double check on that. >> should americans know that? >> of course. and that is why this vehicle exists. i just want to check -- i know i said that, i just want to double check that that is a fact, between the last in the current one, that that wears more threat information. understandake sure i that correctly. >> the emergency message about a natural threat -- has that been used before to warn about a terrorist attack? >> yes, i can give you specific examples. it is obviously not that comment, -- obviously not that

common, but there is precedent for this. we can double check on that. investigatingre and no one has been able to determine who was responsible. but everyone keeps suggesting that this has the hallmarks of and basil attack. -- and isil attack. is that the assumption of the u.s. government? are they ruling out the pkk or other groups that might have some grievance against turkish government? >> that is a good question that on his to answer, -- that i am hesitant to enter, i do not want to speak authoritatively about who was behind this. i think the folks that really full of the stuff and look at and look atigations

the tendencies of certain groups versus others and how they carry out their attacks -- there are assumptions that are made. -- we havehave to seen in the wake of these events that it can go the other way. we are being cautious and respectful and mindful of the fact that this was an attack on andish citizens in turkey, it is their investigation. >> keeping in mind that it appears many of those killed willard turkish -- killed were turkish, have there been any gentle reminders, if i can use the expression, to the turkish government that if it turns out this wasn't isil, that it was the work of kurdish separatists as an example, that the government was use the attacks govern't --t --

government won't use the attacks as a pretext for cracking down on civil liberties. >> we have not seen any indications from the government that it will go in that direction. i am hesitant to respond to that to caution the turkish government. in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack, which is dealing with recovery and security of its citizens, and by all accounts, doing a pretty good job in the immediate aftermath. let us let the investigation playing itself out. i think that is what the turkish authorities are doing, and we will see. please, in the back. i apologize, i did not get to you. >> conventional wisdom has been that one of the u.s. problems in

fighting daesh is that turkey has seen the kurds is a bigger problem than daesh. do you think one positive thing out of this tragedy is that turkey might take more possibly -- might take more seriously the threat of daesh over the kurds> that.ouple of thoughts on we have talked a lot in this room about turkey's concerns about kurdish forces operating and franklysyria, our support for this kurdish forces who are very capable forces fighting to remove daesh from its foothold in a northern syria. we have been very frank in

recognizing turkey's concerns and in talking to turkey about this concerns. so i don't want to diminish or downplay this concerns. we have also been very clear pkk as aiew the foreign terrorist organization. and as such, we work with turkey on combating them. but we draw clear a delineation between the pkk and the syrian kurds, as i said, are part of the many groups fighting against daesh in northern syria. i don't want to underplay or under emphasize turkey's role inthe anti-daesh coalition. we have made a lot of progress working with turkey in order to bring more pressure to bear on

daesh in a northern syria. ofy are allowing us the use airbases, but also working to close the 98 kilometer border that has proved such a challenge. these are all real challenges. as ambassador sam powers just in anust a few hours ago interview, let us not forget that turkey has also been very accepting to the millions of refugees who have poured over its borders from syria and offered them refuge. sue turkey's playing an important role with regard to syria, with regard to the conflict there, but from the assad regime as well as with daesh. so i don't want to underplay that. but they have different priorities and ideas about how to go about that.

we are in constant dialogue with them about that and how to coordinate better. >> so it's possible this might facilitate the u.s. making its argument about their fighting da esh? >> i think the turkish government is well aware of their nature and the need to destroy daesh. >> speaking of same powers, a question on the ap story about the cameroonian family whose child was killed by her convoy. can you confirm that the competition has already been delivered to the family and that includes what were supported, one million francs, a pair of cows, rice, salt, sugar, and wells for first drinking water? -- for fresh drinking water? >> on the first part of your working, we have been

on a compensation package commensurate with local custom. as well as the needs of the family and to the village. that includes potable water well and the boys community that will serve as a lasting memory to his as some monetary, food, and other support. i can confirm that u.s. diplomats have visited the families on several occasions following the accident and will continue to provide any and all support possible. is whetherot answer that compensation pretty been delivered or is in the process. i would have to get back to you. >> there are reports that the istanbul attackers are under

investigation since 2012. do you have such information coming from u.s. intelligence? >> i appreciate the question. if i had that information from u.s. intelligence, i probably would not shared from the podium, but i cannot. just do not know at this point. that this is not testing any aspersions on cable news, but they get a lot of experts outside the government that can express their opinion on who might be behind such attack. we have to be more measured and more cautious about what we say about who was behind this attack. that is why we need the investigation to play itself out. >> did you warner turkish official against such an attack before that? >> we talked about this a few minutes ago in case you missed it.

we did reissue a travel warning the other day. but that was not indicative of an imminent threat or an imminent attack. had wet information -- had that information, we certainly would have shared it with turkish authorities. sharing aselligence a nato ally and partner with turkey. i'm certainly not aware that we have any specific threat information, and had we, of course we would have shared it with turkey. i'll give you a second. this is not only a u.s. problem, it is a global problem. here, again we where the same brink small terrorism is going on in

india now. >> of course. openly daesh are saying they will go against their enemies, which is u.s. and india, and it will continue to destroy india until they have presence they are fully. >> who is a saying this? soil,m the pakistani which they have been doing in the past. these are from recent reports. he is givingy these messages of hate against india. we obviously work closely with india on counterterrorism efforts in the region, and we do with pakistan. clear about our concerns with pakistan's efforts to

combat terrorism in the region and the need for it to do so. but we need to work effectively with all the countries in the increase ourer to ability to combat terrorism and to bring stability to the region. we certainly recognize that india has felt the scourge of ,errorism on several occasions and our condolences go out to the indian people who were killed or injured in those incidents. we continue to work with india on more effective counterterrorism efforts. manynally, you met so pakistani officials in india, and here at the state department. of course you talk about these problems. what answer do you get from these officials, and what is the solution? >> i am not going to disclose

what we discussed with them. but part of the solution is more effective coordination. we have talked about this on many occasion. pakistan and india -- the u.s. and afghanistan -- all this country have to work more closely together. many of these terrorist groups environment.n that and all of the governments in the region have to be diligent about taking the fights to these terrorist groups, which as you say, use a safe haven to take out a tax on another country. that is cordoning off and choking off these terrorist groups. we all need to do a better job of it. >> what about the victims in both countries? only that innocent people are victims of these terrorists in both countries. >> absolutely.

>> i think as you should be aware, both amnesty international and human rights watch -- well, the put it this way, there is movement among human rights groups to drop saudi arabia from the human rights council. in particular, and i believe it is human rights watch, as alleged that the u.s. could be for providing targeting information to the yemen, if it were found that the saudis committed war crimes there. do you think they should be dropped or not, and to you have any comment on potential u.s. complicity in this information? reports,e seen those

and we are aware of this effort to remove saudi arabia from the human human rights council. -- the u.n. human rights council. as a member, the u.s. is resolute to protect children in the framework created by the council. as we said repeatedly before, we remain concerned about the effects of the conflict in yemen , on civilians there, especially on children. we have worked long and hard to get a peace process up and running. we continue to urge all sides in the conflict to protect also since to comply with humanitarian law.

specifically because we only have observer status on the human rights council. i might refer you to the u.n. for more details. we don't have a vote. with regards to your second question about complicity, i'm not going to speak to that other than that we work closely to urge all sides to show respect and to certainly not target civilians, but indeed to protect civilians and comply with international humanitarian the. >> even know you are a observer and not a member, do you think it's a good idea to boot saudi arabia from that body? >> again, i don't want to weigh in on a process that we are just an observer to. except to say that we want the

humans right council to remain , and we dos a body believe in its mission. we would hope that all members on the human rights council would respect to that mission. >> i want to follow up, i think you are a little more. you are the single biggest payer in the human rights council. you took part in the election for picking the human rights council, however flawed the democratic method of balance and whatnot -- method of ballots of whatnot. and i think your voice carries a little weight in the world, especially with a number of western groups that are on the body. do you really have no position on whether saudi arabia should

be removed or not? checked,bia, as i last was a major u.s. partner. >> well, they are. the point i was trying to make to our side, we will not be a voting member. we will honestly remain active as an observer state and will continue to work to make sure that the council lives up to its mandate. beyond that about going to pronounce on whether saudi arabia should or should not be a member. >> i mean, you are providing assistance to saudi arabia in this conflict, are you not? and you are not even willing to say that they shouldn't suffer diplomatic repercussions as a result of this very conflict? then why are you providing them assistance in this conflict? brad, we have been

clear about our involvement in yemen. involvement,ns our the gcc, led by the saudis in combating the threat that it faced on its borders from the cooties. -- from the huutis. we have stressed the fact that all sides in the conflict to --de by international law with respect to this movement in regard to their position in the human rights council, we are not going to comment on it. said davidy kerry why to leaveo idea the e.u. isn't this is kind of condescension that led the british voters voting the way

they did? before the referendum, brexit etiquette had a bump in the polls when president obama told the u.k., you are going to be at the back of the queue if you go ahead with this. >> i don't think there is any condescension. i think the british government, as well as the eu authorities and the european people that member states of the eu, let me put it that way. atrybody is looking hard how this process moves forward. ofhink there is a degree and how this separation will take place.

i think the secretary was simply highlighting that this is not going to be something that happens overnight. >> but how is it a u.s. official's place to say that brexit voters understand or do not understand? kerry wassecretary speaking at a four-run yesterday. -- at a forum yesterday. he was being very casual about his comments. but what he was trying to underscore was the fact that this is a consultative process omplicated process and that the u.k. and eu need to move forward deliberately. this is uncharted territory in a sense. there are law snad processes

that exist. as they move forward, it will take some time. just to underscore, this is not the u.s. trying to inflict its you point or shape this process. -- trying to inflict its viewpoint or shape this process. we want to reassure our strong partnership with the eu and our strong bilateral relationship with the u.k. and no matter what happens with the brexit, those relationships will continue and abide. wass secretary kerry casually saying that, do you think that the president saying that the u.k. being at the end of the queue was a bit too casual? >> not at all, and i'm sorry if i gave that impression. by casual i meant that they were simply sharing their viewpoints.

, hein the president's case was explicitly sending message about how we felt about this. at the same time we realize that it is a democratic process and we respect to that process. and we said as much in the immediate aftermath of the vote. please, a couple more. said, and i kerry think this is accurate from what we've seen from london. there are people in brussels that would like to get a move on his quickest possible, thinking that a clean break would bring more stability to the markets. obviously that is a great to be had. -- a debate to be had. does the u.s. have one view on on-site of the other? >> i think the secretary spoke

about this eloquently with foreign minister hammond the other day. what i think that is most important is that these discussions on the process, and how this looks and works is done measured,hat is calm, and deliberative. frankly this is for the eu and u.k. to work out for themselves. >> in terms of the u.s., what is the state department doing to protect interests in the european union in britain won't be a close ally? is there a diplomatic surge surrounding germany, which is the next closest ally? >> yeah, that is a fair question to an extent. i would respond by saying that foreign minister steinmeyer, one of secretary clary --secretary

kerry's closest confidant and friends, the u.s.-german partnership is as strong as ever. even as britain does exit the european union it still remains one of the most capable members of nato. on the security front, that connection remains. i don't want to overemphasize or overblown the impact o of brexit. i think it is worth noting that our relationships with both the u.k. and eu will remain strong. as much as we can be a conduit between the two, that is also important. >> are there ways the department is looking to compensate for losing an ally in the world's largest trading block? >> how so? argument that president

obama and others made for the u.k. remaining in was that in many ways talking about how important it was to have an important ally echoing u.s. interests. is there an alternative or backup plan the u.s. is working on to remain its interest in the eu? , because i think we still have strong relationships with member states. the secretary said the other day that he will miss the u.k. voice at the table in the eu. that is legitimate. but we respect the vote of the british people. we will figure out a way moving forward to shore up our relations with the remaining partners within the eu and make sure that the u.s.-british relationship remains is vital as it has always been. puthy does make sense to

britain at the back of the queue for negotiations now that it has left brexit? why does that make sense? >> again, i don't want to get into parsing the president's remarks in the aftermath of the vote. i think we're looking at all aspects of this. i think the president was simply saying that there are other existing ongoing priorities for tpp.ncluding ttip and i think he was trying to reflect those priorities. >> you want a strong burden, correct? with a healthy economy? >> of course.

>> with enough tax revenues to pay for 2% on its security? why would you do anything like neglect or favor other traded deals over one with red -- favor other traded deals over one with britain, one that could hurt their economy? why would you put them at the back of the queue? again, as we move beyond the e, we are looking at how to balance all these different aspects. if this separation does happen. trade is the most important and the stability of the markets. we are mindful of that. we are also mindful of our strong trade relationship with the u.k.

but i am not in a position to say we are going to do x, y, or z, other than to say we will work struggling with version and encourage a strong -- will work strongly with britain and encourage strong trade relationships. ttip is a vital trade relationship, one of the most important we have. askedn the secretary was about a bilateral deal with the british versus a multilateral ttip and the european union. he took to about -- he talked about how you have a negotiation with 27 countries, it is a bigger market and it makes more sense to focus on that. he said "i think what is happened, i think the president

is going to do both at the same time. she knows how to multitask. -- he knows how to multitask." >> i could not have said it better myself. >> the way i understand that, the president will seem to likely negotiate both at the same time. is that what he meant to say? i will read -- i will reiterate what i hopefully conveyed a few moments ago, is that we have to be able to do both. we have to pursue what is already and in process negotiation with the eu. by its nature, we are further ahead in terms of negotiating ttip than any other separate trade deal with the u.k. of we are completely mindful the need to remain -- retain,

rather a robust trading relationship with the u.k. and its importance in the global marketplace. >> just a couple more questions. he asked about-- reakfast is important to eat every morning. can't help but say that. [laughter] >> you will not have a number of the five i's in the eu anymore after the brexit. are you considering france or germany for that role? are you considering? >> i don't even want to lean into that. even though we don't have a member of the five eyes, we have strong intelligence cooperation. >> but when you talk about the

britain, youth have lauded it as such a great thing. is it now a great loss? or where you'd not truthful about that the whole time? >> no, just enhancing intelligence cooperation will remain a priority. with britain, we will look at how we can enhance that further with other eu members. >> you cited the secretary's comments about measured and deliberative discussions, which sounds like the diplomatic slow," of "slow, slow, which seems to be the u.k.'s position and not the eu's position. how do you help the eu ensure that we don't have a slow, drawn out process that leads to everyone of its members asking for similar or other

concessions? >> fair question. allng underscore, this is for the eu to work out with great britain. these are all considerations. what i was trying to convey was not necessarily slow, slow, slow, but not done with an excess of haste. , and am saying by that is as the secretary put it, not to do anything rationally -- not to do anything irrationally. -- if britainain leaves the eu-- >> but we have not even begun that process yet with britain evening you. leaving the eu. >> so you are say you can't even

think about how you begin to do it because the process hasn't started yet? that does not seem very helpful. >> i am sorry if i'm not able to but i thinkwill, that there is a process ahead of to yat could take months ears. >> that is a choice. it doesn't have to take months to years. >> there is a process in place. this speaks to your comments that beyond brexit, both the u.k. government and the eu are looking at how this process implemented. regardless of the outcome of this process, we are going to

remain close, strong partners and allies with great britain and with of the eu. our only interest in any of this process,hrough this that it be done in a way that is mutually beneficial to both artist. -- to both parties. amnestyudi arabia, international and human rights watch called for the you when -- u.n. national assembly to remove saudi arabia from the human rights council. rd's vote.res a 2/3 you do have a vote in the u.n. assembly. do you favor saudi arabia's removal? >> i don't think we would talk about our food before it took place. but nice try.

>> will the mission extended beyond combating terrorism? somewhere in this big book in front of me i have it. i just can't find it -- i apologize. [laughter] you?n i help [laughter] >> let me get one last shot to see where it might be. we probably could do that. thanks guys. >> this is the canadian house of

parliament in ottawa, canada. we are here live wedding for president obama. the president in the city of canada -- in canada for meetings and prime minister trudeau of mexico.ieto you can find their earlier meetings on c-span.org. live coverage here on c-span.

again, expecting to hear from president obama shortly. he will be speaking to canadian parliament when that happens. the private minister's question, david cameron speaking to his decision to resign following the brexite vote last week. >> order. questions to the prime minister. [yelling] >> thank you mr. speaker. i think the whole house will join me in condemning the attacks in turkey last night. our thoughts and prayers to those that were killed. as of yet, there are no reports

of any u.k. casualties. we're working with turkish authorities to follow the the full facts. i express the uk's condolences and expressed all consistent. we stand as one in our defiance against these barbaric acts. -- that will be a national two-minute silence on friday morning. i will be attending a memorial near the battlefield and the whole country will paths to member the successes of all was lost their lives in a conflict. >> i had meetings with colleagues and others, and i will have further such meetings later today. withnnot associate myself the prime minister's remarks of ?condolences can i offer him my personal best wishes to him? he has served this country, but

he has not done . -- has not done it alone. we should acknowledge all the support he has had. before he goes, though-- [laughter] will he pertain to one matter, -- doing the n damage to the model of the authority of our country, and those involved in the security services in rendition. are not good to prosecute mark allen for what he did. will he reinstitute, riley soute the gibson under know what was done whose authority >> i thank the right old remarks. for his practically, the first part of shetland get to both look into his

constituency. he raises a good point about the libya issue. out insufficient evidence to prosecute. will say, there are very few countries in the world that would have had such an independent and thorough liketigation into an issue this. i think the right approach as gibson finished the report, looking at these issues, aised this report, and i think they should continue to do so. speaker. you, mr. as my right honorable friend has to put things into perspective, at 7:30 this friday, we will start the commemorating the 100th anniversary of the battle song. might you join me in thanking have are done so much

to ensure our young people have earned the lessons of the past and will you join me in encouraging everyone to remember, salute, and who made the ose ultimate sacrifice. >> yeah. >> well, i certainly join my commending iend in all those who are organizing events.portant we have events up and down the country. and i think it's important not only because 57,000 people were wounded on the first day of this battle, but also so many people are learning so much about their own family's involvement and i would say there is a link between the we're discussing and what happened 100 years ago, is important to keep peace and and stability, as was noticeable at last night's union dinner, that she andioned the commemorations how we'll be standing together memorize those who sacrificed

their lives many years ago. > i would like to echo the words of the prime minister concerning the 36 who died and injured in the attack at istanbul airport. 'd also like to thank him for referring to the memorial on friday and i look forward to being with him there at the of those who ce died at that dreadful battle. mr. speaker, it would also be if we paid tribute to lord patrick mahu who died weekend. he was the driving force behind in 1933 that led to the first cease fire. in i think the peace we have northern ireland now is in part mo him and his successor, merlin, for all that she achieved. what people are worried about is extra security, wages and pensions

referendum.he e.u. some of the major companies like siemens, which has been here for time, what chance do companies h major such as this to save the situation. all, you have the right to mention patrick mahu. huge role in the delivery of the peace process brilliant attorney general and i believe had a public service and national interest, and he was a kind and goodly man. him by his sage to wife shortly before he died and i know there are many people in house who want to send good wishes to his family. he leader of the opposition rightly asks what preparation we're making to deal with the economic challenges we face. look, we're in a strong position to meet these challenges because we've paid our deficit.of

we've had strong growth in job creation. belittle at all the consequences will be different. there will be choppy waters the and we've got to find best way through this. is of the things we must do talk with businesss and reassure them about the stability there is today, the strength of the economy. the secretary has meetings arranged already. tomorrow, i have meetings with group, of the advisory including siemens, who play a huge role in the british economy. what we want to talk about is the stability we can give now, the fact that our circumstances we leave the ntil european union and i want to draw up theem as we possible blue prints for britain's position about what they think will be the right

answe answer. agencies dit rating have cut the rating down from aa plus. make the we made to down grade in terms of borrowing pension the list of funds. >> well, the leader of the opposition is absolutely right ratings by one agency has been taken down by several points and another has watch.on the answer to this question to the is the cost taxpayer will depend on what happened to the interest rates market, at which britain can borrow and perhaps you're to that,draw attention and the head of the e.c.b. confirmed this last night, all of the warnings were that if we voted to leave the e.u. there would be difficulties in terms of our own economy and growth ates, and instability in markets. we're seeing those things. we're well prepared for them in terms of the reaction of the of england and the

treasury, but there's no doubts these are going to be difficult economic times. sure we ust do is make maintain our strong economy so we can cope with them but we those 't belittle challenges. house yone across this should be concerned, indications from business and investigators re that the u.k. is less attractive, thus putting current and future jobs at risk. circumstances, will the prime minister consider fiscal year, s which will prevent investment banking from taking place? i don't believe that would be the right approach. i think what business needs to consumers and and tigators -- investors people concerned about our economy want to hear is we have taken huge steps over the last to get the budget down, to make british an for ctive destination

investment. they want those things to continue and, of course, if we o see economic difficulties, one of the ways we have to react to that is to make sure that our ublic finances in our economy remain strong. we shouldn't have taken all the steps of the last six years to in order tocit down see us get onto a more difficult so i don't think it would be right to suspend the school rules. as i say, there are three phases to this. the first is the volatility that we see which the bank of england with.he treasury must cope the second is the uncertainty about britain's future status which we need to bring to an end fast as possible by examining the alternative models, and then go sing which one we should for. and then we need to bear in mind the long term damage to the how sh economy is based on good our trading relationship union,e with the european that for my part, we are the closest possible relationship in trading with the european union and that can be discussed today in this house as next governor. >> mr. corbyn.

>> thank you, mr. speaker. sadly, there has been more instance of racism increasing. in the last three or four days can i ask you e, prime minister what monitoring he and the secretary have put in place, and what going to urces are communities that have been argeted in these vile attacks that are taking place. >> i agree with the right old gentleman. attacks are appalling and it's right that everyone in this house and everyone on sides of referendum debate absolutely them.mns that is not what we do in britain and countries such as poland and the czech republic that are concerned about this issue at the meeting night. we do monitor these attacks and i can tell the house that we a new action hing plan on tackling hate crime to

response.r we want new cps guidance to on the racially aggravated find, new security potentially fundable institutions and additional funding to community organizations so they can tackle hate crimes. we can do, we will do to drive these appalling hate country.t of our >> mr. corbyn. >> i thank the prime minister that answer. last thursday was a rejection of the status quo, a status quo that clearly isn't delivering. there are now 13.5 million people living in poverty in in the last 00,000 year. 4.5 million people in england alone are insecure work and 2/3 of children in poverty living in households where doesn't work.dult left.rime has a few months

a one nation leave legacy? will it be the scrubbing of tax, cancelling of the universal credit? agree with the right old gentleman is, of course, we need to do more to tackle poverty. do more to spread wealth and opportunity but to try and pretend that last a result of te was the state of the british economy is complete nonresponsive. -- nonsense. it is stronger than it was six ago. we all have to reflect on our campaign.e referendum i know the honorable gentleman said he puts us back into it. is i hate it see when he's not trying. .> mr. speaker overnment figures released yesterday show the number of children living in poverty has in a year to a00

total now, a disgraceful total children in this country living in poverty. does he not think he should at very least apologize to them and the parents that have been and do y his government something about it so that we re -- do reduce the level of child poverty in this country. if he wants to deal with the figures, let me get them to him. inequality has gone down 2001. fastest rate since there are 300,000 fewer people in relative poverty since 2010. a million people in since 2010.erty about ooking for excuses the side he and i are on about the referendum, and frankly, i he should lookay somewhere else. he talks about job security and it might bes to go, in my party's interest for him

to say that, not in the national interest. and i would say, go. speaker. you, mr. >> while media attention seems o be focused elsewhere, all of us in this house have problems that need to be addressed. for weeks and weeks, my constituents have been struggling with the impact of industrial action on our rail ways, not over jobs or wages but gets to press a button. old friend is absolutely right. the structure is a crucial part economy. i condemn the industrial action that disrupts the traveling will and rail passengers not thank the rmt in their unnecessary disruption. performance of

southern has been unacceptable and passengers deserve better. house will be providing more generous customers.ion to >> on the terrorist attacks in will the leader join us in sending our condemnation to turkey.le of the majority voted for scotland union.ain in the european nicholas sturgeon is in brussels meeting with is the president of the european parliament. yesterday, there was standing ovation in the european parliament when the decision was to protect scotland's place in europe. what will the u.k. government do scotland's place in europe? me thank f all, let

the right old gentleman about hat hes about the terrorist attacks and how we should stand against them. united ssue of the kingdom's future, we need to negotiate the best possible deal and the nited kingdom closest possible relationship, and that would also be the best possible deal for scotland. we need to focus on . d what needs to be done >> robertson. minister and yesterday, the scottish passed a motion who all e parliament, mandated the scottish government o have discussions with the u.k. government, on the administrations, the e.u. institutions and member states explore options for protecting the relationship with scotland's place in the central market and the economic that.ts that come from

every party in the scottish that, ent voted for except for the conservative party. conservatives finally join with all other parties in scotland in place in scotland's europe? > the best way to secure scotland's place in a single market is for the united kingdom closest ate the possible relationship from the european union, including in my view the closest relationship a single market. our membership of the european union is a u.k. membership and where we should take our negotiating negotiating. >> thank you, mr. speaker. huge traders make a to our local economy. mind about what my right honorable called with me thousands to stop

council going ahead with its three-day market. >> i would join him in thanking all the hard working market across the country, local goods produced and sourced. the council will listen carefully to my honorable friend's campaign to make sure this historic market is not less altogether. at hank you, mr. speaker, the prime minister will recall, is part of the referendum campaign. we voted to leave the e.u.. general motor's responsibility to build vehicles but i would he can prime minister if ensure any talks of general motors who are given reassurance that vehicles will be able to exported to the e.u. at a competitive price? >> the honorable gentleman is absolutely right. auto motive the

industry in the last decade, 150,000 people directly employed. there are another 300,000 people in the supply and components industry, more of which has been on shore in recent years. i remember my visit very well. what we need to do is secure the deal for britain to make sure that we have that access to the single market because so many companies, motors included, and jaguar land rover, one of the reasons they've invested in britain is because access to that market and i would urge general motors to make their voices heard and in the weeks ning ahead. >> thank you, mr. speaker. yesterday, a former member of my abused and rbally attacked outside shopping in london because of the color of his skin. down the road by a lady shouting about how we had people like how him had shoot and blow up people. mr. speaker, can i ask the prime reiterate the

commitment this morning to do verything in his power to revoke this evil hacred and create the e.u. should not be breed racism and a more national market rather than just europea european. many this country, we have imperfections but we do have a laim to be one of the most successful ultimate ethnic democracies anywhere on earth and we should do everything we guard that. more to the point, we want action by the police, by the authorities, the laws are there for these people to be prosecuted. they should be used. the going to strengthen guidance in the way that i suggested, but we should bsolutely not put up with this in our country. is the prime minister atisfied with the arrangement for prior access for service families who died -- of soldiers in iraq, given that mr.

blair has had months to prepare pr defenses given that he has seen the relevant passages, are the parliamentary arrangements for secure prior access so this house can examine the findings and exact relevant views suitable the future accommodation for mr. blair? >> what i would say to the right ole gentleman is first of all, members of the service personnel families, we have made sure that not going to face the they originally were in terms of accessing the report. i will check the details for the time they get to access the report and perhaps write to him. processes, ntary again, i can put it in so we're clear about what time the statement will be, how much study ople will have to the report and of course other right honorable gentlemen.

i remember how important it was when i was in the opposition having some access. those people who could be criticized in the report, he a l know that there is process where letters have to go out so people have a chance to report.to what's in the that is entirely independent of the government. ministers haven't seen that. of that. seen any that has been dealt with by the longstanding e conventions. but again, i shall put that in my letter to the right honorable gentleman. >> sir alan dun an. moving to more cheerful matters, mr. speaker, would my educate orable friend the house from his experience as prime minister on how in terms reputation and success he would compare the ndemonstrative competence and dignity of angela merkel with a comical antics of osconey.ur

[laughter] >> well, fortunately, neither of the people he's talking about are candidates in this election, i will stay firmly out of. advice on lots of becoming prime minister, one of a party not going to with sylvia and that's one piece of advice i took.
