under this agreement there should be a national unit government formed in ten days, constitutional reforms undertaken and then the constitution being adopted by december 2015 there would be presidential elections. the opposition and the authorities of the opposition said that they would not use force. they were to give over their weapons to whoever was supposed to keep them. why was this agreement not complied with? why was it not implemented? why did we hear threats against president yanukovych as a result of which he had to leave kiev? why is it that the parliament with its new membership, ukranian parliament, with the traumatic changes, why did it first right off the top take a decision to take away -- make a decision to take away the language legislation which says that people have the right to use specific languages, minority languages, of not only russian language but oral minority languages have the right? why the first day was that decision taken to take those away? was it -- it was not a political coalition or process that they were talking about. it's that one of the leaders of t

dri being a more pure form of iron unit, it's a higher quality raw material.n a furnace, when you put a higher quality raw material in, you get a higher quality product out. and that helps us in several ways -- number one, a higher-quality product gets a premium price in the marketplace. number two, it tends to go into more value-added industries that have higher demand and more stable demand. examples would be automotive. examples would be energy in general. so having a lower cost basis, having a higher-quality product helps us competitively domestically and also internationally. >> at one point you had actually literally been here in america when the natural gas -- all our costs were higher and then you shipped the whole plant to trinidad. how does this compare to your trinidad plant? >> well, it's larger for one factor. it produces about $2.5 million tons of dri. our plant in trinidad produces about two million tons. the quality produced here in such a short -- we've been operating about two months and in that short period the team has done such an outstand

iberian coast, the brazilian coast, the caribbean, who charleston in the united states, clustered on an interim. and that formed a source of international contacts that at some point was important to jewish history. and even as late as the turn of the 20th century, of very interesting circuit of international circuit of use, mostly of lithuanian origin who had come from the palladium, south africa, some of and has settled in paris and london. and they became a circuit for the sale of ostrich plumes which are very important in fashion at the time. so if you take all those other factors plus the international connections and you put them all together, it tends to explain in so far as we can disproportionate jewish success. just one other factor. and that is, they came from a culture in which there was quite a bit of emphasis on what you might call self control and deferred gratification. and again when you put that together with commercial background, higher levels of literacy, dependency to go into new forms of commerce because they were discriminated against in older forms, the tendency to have these internatio

there's lot of interesting provisions in this document are it's very similar in form and function to the unitedstates constitution and also to the constitutions of georgia and south carolina. there were specific loss in here aimed at limiting the ability of state government to emancipate slice but they also did what they could to limit the extent of free blacks are moving into the territory so set up the terms for the governor, governor was elected every four years to the house of representatives would be elected every year and then the senate would have a two-year term. so it could a senate and house. seven years would pass before florida would become a state, and that has to do with the fact that the time states were admitted into the union in pairs. one slight state, one free state. so in florida was admitted as a slave state in 1845, iowa came into being in as a free state. so the next document in that we have is what's known as the florida ordinance of secession. much like the 18 to get constitution, this is the only known copy of the ordinance that is in existence. this particular case is

lots of the crib -- parts of caribbean, savannah or charleston in the united states, amsterdam and antwerp, london, and that formed the source of international contacts that at some points was important to jewish history. and even as late as the turn of the 20th century you had a very interesting circuit of an international circuit of jews, mostly of lithuanian origin, who had come from lithuania to south africa. some of them had settled in paris and london, and today became a circuit for the sale of ostrich plumes which were very important in fashion at the time. so if you take all those other factors plus the international deaths and you put them -- international connections and put them all together, that tends to explain as far as we can disproportionate jewish success. i suppose there's one other factor, too, and that is they came from a culture where there was quite a bit of emphasis on what you might call self-control and deferred gratification. and, again, when you put that together with the commercial background, the higher levels of literacy, the tendency to go into new forms of commerce because they wer

form, s of aid. supporting ukraine with the united states as the leading part of that effort. moldova and georgia are very vulnerable as well, there's no question. we had the prime minister of georgia here two weeks ago at the white house meeting with president obama. prime minister of moldova also meeting with the vice president, the secretary of state. we're doing everything we can to help them financially but to provide the critical support for the democratic choices of their people. and we'll be doing that in the months ahead. but i think it's very important to basically underline the point that this is a critical moment to give them that support now when you have governments making the right choices. we recognize that. we will be doing that. >> eric you're a little too close to that mic. just move it back a little bit. >> thank you very much for calling this hearing and for your excellent bill. the magniski list. denying and evoking visas of russian regime members who is connected to belligerent actions in ukraine and freezing or prohibiting any of their u.s. property in

they formed up as a unit, led by a flag carrying general and they moved forward. when they got to within several hundred yards of the camp, the russians decided to fire warning shots in the air. the ukrainians stopped momentarily, not very long and then moved forward again. there was another volley of warning shots and i counted about four sets of warning shots before the ukrainians eventually got up to a rather startled russian line. i'm not sure the russian commander was terribly happy that in fact his troops had open fire. but there was then this standoff with the ukrainians demanding to get back into their bases to work with the planes. they wanted partly to repair the planes and make sure everything was okay. at the minute the situation is as normal, the ukrainians after negotiations then withdrew. the russians are still in control of that air base. but at other bases here, the russians are still on outside trying to get in and the ukrainian army is still on the inside of their own bases resisting. a number of fairly extraordinary standoffs here in crimea. >>
