as the constituency of marie le pen, 33% voted for the national front. there's no eu flag but re-french ones. >> the eu has france in a headlock. it has lost its radiance and has nothing to say. we want to restore france to its former glory. >> the national front mayor took up office in march and locals are mystified at europe's apprise over the french vote. >> more and more people are on welfare. they don't have jobs and they don't have money. who should i vote for, the left or the right? i don't trust any of them anymore. >> even if the national front is far right, it's not like he used to be. >> but what is behind the party that has captured the imagination of the french people with such arguments? and now, he travels through france warning people away from the national front all stop >> i thought we could serve as a genuine counterweight to the e you. the national front is the only party that can affect change in france and which doesn't belong to the old, established click. a party with good chances and speaks the language of the people. >> his hope

bill we present today, i think reflects the nation's priorities. obviously if we had a larger allocation, we would invest even more in a variety of these priorities. i think some of the points the chairman has pointed to in human trafficking and err naughtics investments on the manufacturing side, there are a number of areas where you can see clearly that the chairman has taken extraordinary care to make sure that a number of items get the appropriate revenues that are needed so that we can truly make a difference. so we're anxious to have debate and get to the amendment and have the house work its will. i want to thank the majority as we come here today. we have an open rule. so the house will have an opportunity to work its will and yield -- at this time i reserve the remainder of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. wolf: i recognize mr. rodgers, chairman of the full committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky is ecognized. mr. rogers: i rise in support of thi

-funded research is in fact in the national interest. madam chair, i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition? mr. wolf: i move to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. wolf: i have no objection to the amendment. i share the opinion that n.s.f. must exercise caution and i should tell colleagues that n.s.f. funding is at an all-time high. this is a republican committee, if you will. the house. and we support the sciences. i think i want our country to stay ahead of china and the other countries. i want america to be number one, but i appreciate what mr. smith, the chairman, said. n.s.f. must exercise caution and grant awards and ensure -- and i hope n.s.f. is listening today. that every grant is both scientifically meritorious and responsive to the national interest. the subcommittee has already taken steps to help improve accountability and transparency and

how do they deal with the nation state? >> i think as it is written on its face nationalism is a world of nations. cosmopolitan is a very old tradition and the first person who said he was a citizen of the world was in the 4th century bc. >> the stoics as well. >> it is a very long tradition and has many tendency today. i would say that dominantly it isn't a tradition that takes the metopher of global citizenship and utilize it. it doesn't say we should have a single state because we are singles of the cosmo. if i say it recognizes the value of different ways doing things and you don't need everyone in the one kingdom to live the thought that you all matter fundamentally in the same way because it is consistent with recognizing we matter in the same way but we have the right to live in the ways that matter to us and they are different from each other. sf >> and then the challenge is how do you make the connection we know the rotts? we come from particular families, bodies, colors, culture. and then your routes that you take

and concerted action at the united nations. we will work over the coming weeks to implement these commitments. including to increase humanitarian assistance and we will work together, we will intensify how closely we work together, given the deepening crisis in syria. because we are all determined to respond to it. so that is what we have been doing this morning. and secretary kerry i know is coming down to speak to you shortly. and there's time for a few questions. >> thank you, foreign secretary. it's pretty grim time in syria as you said. the crisis there is deepening. peace talks haven't worked. president assad has regained territory. he's holding elections. the opposition, different groups are fighting each other. they seem weakened. gone are the days when you can say not just assad, moscow, but he will go. is it time to reassess your strategy based on the likely survival of his regime? and if i might a second question on ukraine. can you be a bit more clear about what it is russia has to do or not do in order to avoid deep

the lead nation was germany. germany was the godfather. however, germany wanted to build the police. just as there were being built by another country therefore it is different country. at that time the police could arrest violators. that's why the police building of the force did not go very well. 2009 we saw that there was more interested in investment. that actually helped. that actually started to draw serious attention. who says the what you have today has many, many problems facing the police. the major question is what is going to be? it is going to become a problem of law enforcement to protect the population or a security force to protect the state? unfortunately with the upsurge of violence in 2006 there was a rush. that continued today. there was not the kind of force that would resolve the best forms of fighting insurgency. protect the population. by itself it becomes an asset. when i was looking at the challenges facing today in afghanistan i counted to ten and stopped. the first one was the number. they say 850, 700,000. it w

to resume our le assistance to the national coalition after having to it on some of their stores fell into the wrong hands in december. we have now a level of confidence in how they can given to e supplies them has improved. so we are able to do that. united kingdom does. but of course you will have to support tary kerry the the united states intends to provide or other countries what they provide. all help in different ways. as i have always made clear in parliament, our support, which overwhelmingly humanitarian, f course, the support that is not humanitarian is practical but it is not lethal. we have not entered into those discussion as the united kingdom. question and we must let you get set up for secretary kerry. >> thank you. foreign minister, it sounds like you are declaring bankruptcy of syria.olicy there is really nothing new that in this lk about meeting more or less. am i correct in saying that? wonder if you have people andhe rise of what are you doing in practical terms? >> we have discussed the need to increase further coordination some has of course begun time ago on t

it also helped the nation and imagine what a western expansi expansion. it's one of the important professional. because they share a fascination with early photography between myself and my coeditor. we had together participated on at least a couple of academic sales. i have long been a fan as it were of her work. she's written quite widely on african-americans and photography in 19 to 20th century. we determined that there was enough interesting work being undertaken independently by scholars we knew and didn't that had come into contact that we wantewanted to assemble a collen of the work just to give them a sense of what was possible when we started to think about photography historically and in the specific relationship and the development of photographic technology and not only deal with images that deal with the production of images and circulation of images that are different from the present technology some of them have had the bases. important technologies nonetheless, and we certainly found these images and the number images that featured slaves

the assistant is attorney general for national security. he defended the justice department's decision to indict five chinese officials for hacking u.s. companies. this is about one hour and 15 minutes. >> we are going to get started. welcome to brookings. >> there is nothing going on in the area of cyberspace, so it will be a short and uninteresting session. i am joking. is an amazing time to have in their -- have him here. as you probably all know, this is a big week in this area. specifically, indictments of foreign interests against -- the house just passed the usa freedom act. and i saytly amending -- nsa surveillance authority. with's a lot going on respect to our own activities and spine and collection, a and our response to other countrie'' actions against us. are.ifferent they principal differences between what we acknowledge we do and what we authorize under our law? and what we object to when it is done to us? these are some of the issues that i think we are talking about this week. i hope we will talk about today. i can't think o

nation is very whether conscious. we hear about it every day. it's always in the picture, and it's quite clear that we are experiencing changes that quite literally are unprecedented in this nation's history, as more people see these changes they talk about. the president did talk about it today with a number of tv weather casters and broadcasters. i think there's very much hope there in terms of trying to reach out and educate the broader populace on the problem we face and how we can solve it. >> just quickly, i echo that if you think we may be sort of slow to get going with change i think if you look at a struggle presidents will we get started change can happen quickly. we could all received by the northeast and beyond examples of how cities are dealing with heat events, planting more trees, giving air-conditioners in some cases and cooling centers to most vulnerable populations, having heat wave action plan. facing the climate risk, elevating critical in the structure, elevating houses, having discussion about coastal zone plan. even more mundane things, incr

that is recognized by the national register. host: of course, the president will be there later this morning for the wreathlaying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier. we will have coverage of that on c-span. the arlington cemetery is marking its 150th anniversary. some might be surprised that wasn't on the list before this year. yeah, it took some time, i will say. i think the current superintendent and administration of the cemetery clearly recognizes the historic significance of the place. it is an active burial ground. so this is a special kind of historic place where people today are -- our veterans today are still being laid to rest. day. a good april 2014 is when the arlington national cemetery went on to the national register. my organization, the national trust for historic preservation, couldn't be more pleased with that result. host: some have been critical about the oversight and preservation tactics at that arlington cemetery. y? what has been happening? guest: i think from the perspective of some family membe

they are the largest of the afghan national security forces. 157,000 members of the afghan national police but also the afghan local police, 30,000. the 20,000 members of the afghan public protection force, 10,000 civil servants. u.n. site security, central prisons director for the nation, and the judicial security units. if you add it all together, it's 230,000 members who fall within that moi infrastructure. it is a resilient, capable, and increasingly credible force. credible with both the coalition operationally and with the people of afghanistan. especially in the wake of the election security. that is a key aspect in ensuring security and credibility of the government of afghanistan and the coalition's efforts in supporting them. they havee time, plenty of challenges. paramountinfluence is throughout the anp and moi. it is seen as one of the most susceptible to political all of then government of afghanistan. high personnel turnover, especially in leadership meanings, turnover not that but rotating in and out of positions but it is a fragmented command and control structure. you hear

the national institutes of health and the fda, the department of energy, nasa. so all of these are agencies that could do the kind of risk capital discovery that, perhaps, our private sector could not undertake. i have been troubled, and that many of my colleagues on both side of the aisle. are we burning and innovation deficit? yes, we have to focus on our budget deficit, but are becoming so austere we could be tapping -- capping of future growth. we invited this distinguished panel the talk about the innovation budgets cannot be running in innovation deficit and where are the best places that we can make wise and prudent use of taxpayer dollars. we want to hear from our expert witnesses. and then feel they have adequacy for research and development? do we have a pipeline to really help our young people get the education that they need to be able to pursue scientific careers or are we so smart and are found in that young scientists don't even have a crack at getting those research grants that might come up with new refreshen breakers. this is not do one subcomm

the conscience of the nation usually meant people in positions of power and influence. i didn't amine majority opinion in southern states obviously it aspired to me the majority opinion and congress was pressured. it is also the case and i think there are many illustrations in the history of the civil rights movement in its golden age kong crew went with king's wife as well as later and earlier, plenty of instances where a dedicated prophetic minority stands up to take a stand and shifts public opinion. the most obvious example something juan williams has written about, the legal defense fund, thurgood marshall and other brilliant visionary legal strategists who steered the supreme court into a really radical change before public opinion, especially was anywhere near prepared for it. martin luther king at one point said we want hearts and minds to change, a broader deeper conception of public opinion. that is ultimately what we are aiming for but we will take structural legal change today if that is what we can get and we trust that hearts and minds will follow. he rever

and this seeks to implement the national division in the american southwest. they called this aspirational homeland that is envisioned to be a spanish-speaking chicano nation. so political identity for people of this movement is primarily defined by race and ethnicity and language. and this may seem at first far-fetched. however in this includes separate us to believe that just the cultural unification is inevitable and it is hoped that it will eventually obtain legal status and will then become a very powerful voting bloc. and the chicano separatist movement could eventually secure an independent state through the electoral process. by doing so, there would be no need for armed conflict. and so currently the movement really minimizes the role of violence in bringing about its goal of a separate nation composed almost exclusively of latinos. but the establishment presupposes this at large. the popularity of multiculturalism among the american elite has really provided a cover for the chicano separatist. their irredentist aspirations might normally be rejected a

a spokesman for the libyan national army khalifa haftar told al jazeera that they declared an open war on the government for supporting what they called extremists and terrorists. on friday forces loyal to khalifa haftar attacked the bases of two militias in benghazi, the fighting leaving dozens dead. khalifa haftar was forced to act. >> translation: today the national army launched a battle to defend our nation, people and the lives of officers who are being assassinated. this is not a coup against a state. we are not seeking power or authority or hindering the course of democracy. the blood of libyans is safety. terrorists wanted there to be a battle. there it be honourable. >>> the central government accused khalifa haftar of staging a coup. >> translation: the acts carried out by army officers constitute violation of army officers. it represents a coup, an arrest warrant issued by the military prosecutor. an order has been handed down stand up to attempts by the subverse if forces. >> reporter: the caretaker government is week, struggling to rein in powerful militias. armed forcers

roundly criticized by the national liberal media establishment. "the new york times," "the washington post," you name it, the president would have saved himself some embarassment had he never showed up at west point and said not a word. your reaction to the speech. >> well, i was stunned by the speech. you know, frankly it seemed quite superficial and, surprisingly unsophisticated for a foreign policy speech describing your vision. i mean the idea that much of the speech was trying to draw a line between interventionist, particularly military interventionists and isolationists and somehow the prudent path was in between that and of course it is but i don't know anybody who is of military interventionist who wants to go to war and into places he was citing. no one wants boots on the ground in syria. no one wants boots on the ground in crimea and ukraine and some of the other issues we're dealing with. frankly i thought the president provided us a false choice inning try to describe what his foreign policy was. i was pretty disappointed by it and not
