we get a report the secretary and i both as do the commanders in the chain above the wing the air force global strike commander told me immediately after this occurred that the wing was taking action to look into the grade. they were concerned with that kind of a score on their inspection report. so we knew this was going on. >> in terms of what occurred at that site was that alert you to attention you should pay to any other sites? >> yes, ma'am. they shared reports and lessons learned across all -- >> will the gentlewoman yield? >> i yield to the gentlelady. >> when did general haig gel found out about it? he asked about a report of something that had been open sourced. because there had been problems here once before one would assume after a problem was identified and reported as the commander did at that base that something that would be, you know another black eye on the same unit that with potential for high-profile the secretary would be informed in person. when did the secretary find out about this. >> congresswoman i tell you what i found out secretary donley found out. if he k

the impact prepared by the commission on the transatlantic trade estimates the agreement will boost the e.u.'s economy by about 0.5% of gdp. the overall objective of the e.u.'s common trade policy is to promote open honest trade based on regulation which are benefit to the e.u. and to the entire international community. we achieved this through discussions within the world trade organizations as well as through bilateral regional trade negotiations. negotiations on the transatlantic trade investment partnership compliment negotiations. the presidency is absolutely committed to reaching within the council on a decision authorizing the opening of negotiations and mandate to the commission. on the 17th of april 2013, focused on e.u. trade. we were very pleased that ministers were joined. that meeting was extremely useful to focus on how we take the process forward and encouraging a strong shared sense of commitment to reaching a rapid outcome. i think it was also a sign of the very high priority which the irish presidency attaches to this issue. i'm grateful to the parliament for your corp

of the -- on the morning of the watertown arrest, so the shootout occurred late in the evening friday early morning hours, we started to get information about the identity of the individuals. >> if you had this information before the bombing, would your force and you have done anything differently? >> that is very hard to say. theould certainly work at information and talk to the individual. thefbi did that and closed case out. toan't say i would have come a different conclusion based on the information.

the time of the accident. let's begin with bay area stephanie trong who joins us on the scene with what was an attempt to revive the sailor. >> reporter: yes, we actually walked over here, very tense moments, i saw the paramedics working on andrew simpson, performing on him. we watched after 20 minutes, and then they stopped. from a bird's eye view, you can see the artemis racing boat capsized in the bay. the first responders were called. >> we were called by the racing boat to notify us that another racing vessel, the artemis, had capsized near the ferry. >> reporter: a day turning tragic. the artemis racing team publi published this photo this afternoon. the chief said that simpson was likely trapped under the boat for ten minutes before people pulled him onto the chase boat where the doctor was waiting. >> there was no pulse or breathing from the person in the water. >> reporter: a san francisco police marine unit vessel, the first to respond. >> that is when the officer from the marine had jumped onto the

is the policy of the administration when it comes to the ability of the media to cover the news. and i think the question for you is given the fact that this news organization was not given an opportunity to try to quash this in court as has been precedent, it leaves us in the position of wondering whether the administration has somehow decided policiwise that it's kind of going to go after us. >> that is certainly not -- i can talk about policy. that is certainly not the policy of this administration. if you will remember, in 2009, when i was -- after my confirmationheargs, i testified in favor of the reporter shield law. we as an administration took a position in favor of such a law. didn't get the necessary support up on the hill. something this administration still thinks would be appropriate. we investigated cases on the basis of the facts. not as a result of a policy to get the press or to do anything of that nature. the facts and the law have dictated our actions in that regard. >> you said it is not hyperbole that this puts american lives at risk. if the underlying invest

the enemy of the troops so by the administration's definition the wall that is the battlefield with me today is brian becker with the answer coalition brian thanks for joining bryan you have president obama saying that his national security speech that the u.s. is not engaged in a boundless war and yet you have this vast military presence across the globe washington post cited a senior administration official who said u.s. special operations forces were active in seventy five countries to that you had the drone strikes and new drone bases does it look like the u.s. this really seeking to limit itself in the use of military force no in fact the policy in the institutional policy is for the united states then it would be prepared for endless war but they're being engaged in all of the activities that would lead one to believe that they are an endless war there's one point three million u.s. military personnel three hundred to four hundred thousand of them are overseas there's nine hundred military bases the united states spends not five hundred twenty five billion which is the defense de

does the senator need to ask for the yeas and nays or are the yeas and nays ordered under the -- the presiding officer: the yeas and nays would have to be requested. mr. whitehouse: then i ask for the yeas and nays, madam president. the presiding officer: there is not a sufficient second at this time. mrs. boxer: okay. well, madam president, i'm very confused. yesterday there was an agreement that there would be a vote. what is the -- what is my colleague's understanding of that agreement? okay, we just need to have someone come out. all right. so i would recommend that, senator, if you could just stay on the floor so we can get a colleague out on the floor, that would be great. and after we do that, i'm going to encourage my friend to -- to take some time and go into why it is so critical that we pay attention to the oceans of our country, what is happening to the state of our oceans, what's happening to the quality of our oceans given so many factors, including the changes that we're experiencing in climate because he is a great expert in that. and at this time, i would not note --

[laughter] the last quote in the front is a caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of the truth. that was joseph conrad, very brilliant and very profound. so, and something like 30 years at the nation, first as the magazine's editor than has publisher come only once did the staff march in my office with a petition demanding that we not publish something, and that something was a cartoon, a caricature, and the nation as you know is a bastion of word people. but at the time i thought the staff anger had to do primarily with the fact that they thought the cartoon question was politically incorrect or in the argot of the de notte pc. no matter that the character was the late david levine perhaps the leading practitioner and no matter that his character was a powerful work of art in deed that was the problem. it all started with a phone call from david, whom i had known as a former contributor to monocle which cecilia mengin and her great introduction, which we call the leisurely quarterly of the satire that meant it came out twice a year. and i had founded a student at the yal

that is one of the issues, of course, in the ap matter so, the abm of the just -- the idea of the justiceartment looking into leaks is not a put -- inappropriate in itself but if you deal with it in an inappropriate way is a problem. they turned the matter over to, the deputy attorney general. the judiciary committee will be communicating with mr. cole, and we will be looking to hold hearings on this matter in the future as well. lots of questions. for newsevisions organizations to be notified when a subpoena is being issued that affects them. i am sure that there are exceptions to that, it is hard to understand why there would need to be an exception here, he cut the records being sought are not held by the ap but being held by a telephone company. therefore, the organization, knowing it was taking place, not -- at least an initial view -- have surmised investigation. secondly, there are reports that the associated press contacted the administration a week before they used the news information regarding the matter in yemen that was the subject of the underlying leak investigation. clearl

fire started in the carport between the two houses, ran up the side of the house and then got into the attic of both house. >> her neighbor, who is on vacation, only had damage to the garage and attic. the brunt of the fire was focused here. at one point the house was so unstable firefighters were forced to pull out of it. they worried it could collapse. >> the attic space caught fire, and there was a series of explosions. i think the tires on the vehicle were popping. i think the windows on the house blew out. so it was pretty intense for a while. >> crews were fighting the fire from above, but they couldn't stop it. >> i'm other diabetic. he saved my insulin, needles, test strips. >> she quickly remembered what was left. >> my parents just passed away in the last few years and left me a lot of family memorabilia from 1642 on, and it's all gone. >> no one was hurt in the fire and no one had to be evacuated the firefighters stopped the fire from spreading to any more homes. >> firefighters say the wind and heat played a role in how quickly that fire spread. >>> a homeowner in napa coun

the rest of the population, i am sure understood the meaning of the icons -- the carvings of gods, the representations of the kings and the symbols that they carried on their dress, headdress and so on. when they came here for the great public ceremonies, they would see these things and understand what they meant. keach: but for today's archaeologists, the meaning of these symbols is more elusive. at copan, artist barbara fash directs the reconstruction of a building commemorated after the death of king 18 rabbit. the workers are guided by an ancient pattern on a surviving wall. how do scholars interpret patterns like this which don't contain specific information like dates or words ? if you look at the side of the building that was still in place, and you see the regular course of rock going horizontal. and then there are these pieces going diagonally and weaving in with each other, and they form like a herringbone sort of pattern, what it is is it's a mat, with the pieces of the mat weaving in between each other, and that's what you're meant to be seeing. keach: in all, 10 mats were

but the purpose was the same. the logic is irrefutable. why bother to do a study at all if we're going to just allow fema to charge ahead and start raising premiums all over the country? and i say this to my colleagues, the senator from louisiana knows it well, we know it well in new york, but you're going to be finding out across the country that flood insurance premiums are going to rise so high that they're unaffordable to average middle-class people. what do you say to the homeowner who's forced to -- into the choice of either paying crushing flood premiums or leaving their home and their neighborhood? do we say to them, sorry, we just couldn't get around to thinking about difficult cases like yours just yet? that's not going to stand. that's not fair. it's not acceptable. i note for my colleagues who might think this is just a hurricane sandy related issue, itacin this situation because our flood maps are being revised, a process that was well underway before sandy. so the increased premiums many new yorkers could well face will face

the majority will control the first hark the republicans the final half. following that morning business, the i senate will resume s. 601, the water developmen resources t act. i would ask that if the vote has to come a little bit later, we'll have to get out of the way before ow caucuses. i think we can terminate that at noon. so i ask consent that the democrats have their full half-hour and the republicans their full half-hour. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: following that morning business, the senate will resume consideration of the water resources development act. and as i indicated in a meeting i had just a few minutes ago, this is really an important bill. and it shows that one of our most liberal members of the senate can work with one of the most conservative members of the senate, boxer and vitter. they work extremely well. they've done exemplary work on this bivment and i hope we can have a finite list of amendments an not have to invoke cloture, because we would invoke cloture. i would rather not do that. the filing deadline

the members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table at the same time a press conference between the russian foreign minister lavrov and john kerry took an interesting twist when a reporter asked about the bill to support the syrian rebels with weaponry which is now being considered by the u.s. congress the reply from the u.s. state secretary it was that if the united states finds substantial proof that chemical weapons were in fact used by bashar assad's troops in syria something which hasn't yet been proven of course then this bill will ultimately become reality which many experts have already described this as a certain leeway for the united states to still have a certain leverage in the syrian conflict now also on friday the british prime minister david cameron came to the city of. russia. and the biggest intrigue of that meeting was whether david cameron would sing to the same tune as john kerry did in moscow it's no secret that we have had differing views on how best to handle the situation but we share fundamental aims to end the confli

on the one hand the help the u.s.nd the allies and pakistan it suffered greatly from the extremism that spilled over the border after the u.s. invasion in afghanistan on the other hand they were accused of helping the taliban to keep leverage with them in case they get in power also as a hedge against indian influence so they have that rivalry going so as far as pakistan's interests it's been complicated russia possibly the greatest threat to russia faces now from afghanistan is the flow of afghan heroin that kills thousands of russians every year so russia has a state it has stated a clear interesting afghanistan that would be under control of a responsible government not plagued with corruption a government that would help end this drug plague. but what if global powers are on able to avoid a power vacuum in afghanistan what could happen then if you'd ever comes to the stage where we have to be a force is our stock or somewhere we may have to believe the only problem is in the past in the one nine hundred ninety s.

the region and into the region. there are alternative features that we think are probably under considered. currently, when you look at pacom, the most common thought is the dominant rise in china that stays on a linear path of boards. we also think that there is some discussion of the different paths for china, in a failing china or a weaker china. a strong china, in addition to that, there is this idea that if you see china as a principal focus of u.s. strategy in the pacific region, the chinese get a competitive strategy that basically occurs largely outside of the military domain, and therefore undercuts any military buildup that is associated with conjuring them. we do feel the uncertain trajectory will remain a dominant concern particularly for u.s. ground forces for some time to come. north korea is a three paths. it can simple -- unify with south korea. in collapse. tocan actually continue engage in provocative or aggressive behavior that somehow leads to war between the north and south. we do think north ko

program isat the secret is one of the worst kept secrets in the the world. oftakes us to the question how are we using this weapon, or any other weapon, to carry out the program of targeted killing. that is the heart of this debate. what we know is troubling. there is general agreement amongst international law scholars that the use of lethal force is permissible under international law, human rights law, in response to a specific concrete and imminent threat. ita lot of for context, would be permissible against civilians who are directly participating in hostilities those terms defined under the laws of war. respect theate and speeches have been made, as well as the paper that was leaked, those are not the standards that are being applied. this is the white paper that was a summary of all legal memo used to justify the killing of a now qaedaen who is leader, or alleged to be one. the paperctions recognized on what constitutes an imminent threat, when you read it, you realize that what appears to be limitations are in fact permissions. it turns out that seni

that's on the south side of the train box at the west end. excavation proceeding in zones two and three. zone four again all the water -- all the water treatment plant equipment has been removed. the trestle bridge is started. as of last friday was completed with all the deck cover laid out. they still have welding and work to do underneath, so work is progressing significantly in zone four as well. shots of the work going on in zone four. and of course i mentioned the awss work continues. you can see how congested things are in trying to build the new boxes for the pipe and work around the other utilities. this work was taken place at mission and first street. we still running overall the 63% mark on local labor. there are the break downs through the end of april, and as far as trade break downs also through the end of april 1300 unique individuals having recorded time on the project. and again this is just the transit center work and the utilities work. it doesn't include the previous demolition or the temporary terminal work. are there any

the more investors? the more purchases? the more confidence? the greater the opportunity becomes. once those opportunities begin -- began to spread, the region profits. it will not be easy. so, the last word that i mention in this part of my remarks is hope. we are all hopeful that this can happen. we think that the elements are already there. we just need to work hard at them. i think that political leadership now and across the region can make an assumed commitment as we move forward. ultimately, if human capital is the ultimate resource, as we all say that it is, let's hope that we believe it. if it is indeed the ultimate resource, let's try to make sure that we bill that restores up and commit it to a better future for the region. thank you very much. there is awful lot more in the report. but it is done in a smart way. if you read the executive summary and the themmendations, recommendations are on all the topics that have been raised here by this superb panel. this has been a great opportunity for us at the immigration policy institute. we have been very proud to work with t
