the national road also has many different names. we can get a lot of different meanings from these names. in the late 19th century, there is a historian named jacob brown from maryland who notes that technically it was called the cumberland road, but popularly it was known as the national road. the cumberland road is a sort of the official name in government documents, it makes sense, it starts in cumberland, maryland. that is really the only point they had figured out at that point when they started tilting the road, so it makes since it has been name. but that is really the only place you see it in used, within government documents or call for contracts to build the road. you start seeing national road teams ind early on by many places as the popular name for the road. other than it being federally funded, it means people among are connected -- people along it are connected to the nation at large. they can be coming up into this national identity, they are participating in nationbuilding. other names. united states road, depending

that's the problem with the national ocean policy. again, i would encourage the supporters of this, and who knows, i might be one of them, to bring it to congress. let's debate it. let's have a good healthy debate on this floor. go through the committee process. go through the regular order. and then it's something that we might be able to support in the appropriations process. other than that, i would urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment -- ms. pingree: mr. chair. the chair: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from ohio seek recognition? ms. kaptur: mr. chair, i rise as the designee of ranking member lowey to strike the last word. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for five minutes. ms. kaptur: yes. i rise in support of the gentlewoman's amendment to support the growth of vibrant coastal economies and creation of fisheries and agriculture -- aqua culture jobs. the national ocean policy is helping agencies and states col

congress and asked for this to be designated as the national museum. because of the scope of the collection, the significance and amongst other museums in the world, congress designated in 2004 the museum as the national museum. and then in 2014 the congress again in a bicameral bipartisan bill named the memorial as the national memorial for effectively carrying both congressional designations as the national museum and national memorial. it is quite a fitting tribute for a citizen initiated museum and memorial to honor those who served in world war i and marked a turning point of the nation and the impact that it had in the united states, the founding cou catastrophes of the 20th century, that moment that launched the american century captured then here in this museum and memorial with national designation. so now let's go on up to the memorial and talk about some of the architectural features of this extraordinary landmark. behind us is this extraordinary memorial tower dedicated in 1926, but the foundation stones laid in 1921 when vice president calv

because of the curfew, the michigan state police arriving and then the national guard arriving, some of those people were arrested on curfew violations for trying to protect stores and others refused to get off the street so they did not get in the crossfire of the national guard or michigan state police. and then a lot of the fires and looting began, but it was initially because of the discontent that african-americans had with a lot particularly the police brutality, and that is how it all began. this neighborhood, 12th street neighborhood, was full of businesses. all of the green space you see around here now would have been filled with restaurants, stores, shops -- all the things a neighborhood would need to be a true neighborhood, a true community. those things are just about gone now and they have been gone for the most part since 1967. >> can you tell us the story of black jesus? >> on the morning of the second day of the uprising, also known as the riot or rebellion -- i generally use the term rebellion -- joe nelson, a house painter who had been driving past their -- there ev

you can see now that people are out and about and walking on the national mall. we are next to the washington monumented. as sunny as it was this afternoon. the parade was going down constitution avenue. we have video to show you. tens of thousands of people lined constitution avenue to watch the parade. the national independence day parade. we are celebrating the country's 241st birthday. the parade didn't disappoint. right now everybody here on the national mall, they are ready for the concert about to start. and the fireworks, display that is supposed to be like no other across the country. here is what the family from michigan had to say about what they are expecting. >> this is a big finish to the vacation. we are ready for it to be here in person to see it. a dream. >> i have heard they have been big. which i really hope for. i hope they are big this year. the fireworks display starts at 9:09 expected to last at least 17 minutes. so if you want to come down you have time to head to the national mall. fireworks will be lead off here on the national monument.

the same. you have barbecues, picnics, nationals baseball. the crowds on the national mall. but thousands will also be on boats. that is the beauty about our city, that we can do that. natural resources, police and the u.s. coast guard will also be out aggressively making sure everyone is having a good time but also playing nice, following by the rules. there are a lot of rules and laws. first, make sure you have life jackets. this is very important. resources police want you to have it on, in fact. it's not the law. you just have to have it on the boat at all times. children do have to have the life jackets on at all times. we are getting waves. i don't know if you notice that. you want to be mindful of your wake today if you are coming to the national mall. we are it the mouth of the washington channel. anacostia on one side and the potomac on the other. this is a no-wake zone so be mindful of that. one-third of deaths on boats are alcohol related. 70% of victims are not wearing life vests. remember, no dangling off the bow of the boat. it's against the law. the idea tonigh

but can it see off the rise of protectionism and nationalism? steaks scandal — why a corruption probe is carving a slice out of brazil's multi—billion dollar meat industry. hello and welcome to bbc news. the united states has warned it is prepared to use its "considerable military forces" on north korea following tuesday's long—range missile test. the us ambassador to the united nations told an emergency meeting of the security council that the test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile represented a sharp military escalation. as world leaders are preparing to head for the 620 summit in hamburg, both beijing and russia, called for restraint and dialogue. nick quraishi reports. 0n the coast of south korea, a barrage of missiles is fired by local and american forces. commanders said the tests indicate what could happen if the us loses its patience with north korea. a show of force, backed up by strong words at the un security council. yesterday's actions by north korea made the world a more dangerous place. there are legal missile launch

the fact that it has rejected international cooperation, with -- nations finding the paris signing the paris agreements, with 153 benefit case in's sends a negative message to many other nations. while these decisions give theory,o the isolation or the view that it is waning, i do not subscribe to other. the relative economic and military power of the united states and other powers have shifted in recent years. the fact is, the united states remains the dominant world power on virtually all measures. senioriscussions with members of the trump administration, it is clear that they are well aware of the importance of continuing economic growth in this region to the world economy at large. peace and prosperity, and a system of international rules by which both can be maintained. our intention is to prosper. this is clearly in the national interest of the united states. much of the economic growth in our region is driven by the united states as an engine of innovation. a provider of the main reserve currency, and with the deepest .f financial markets such dominance will not be challenged,

reconstruction being brought back into the nation. if we blow this up a little -- i'm sorry -- we can see it is by racial everett. both blacks and whites are reconstructing the southern nation. he is imagining this in 67. the nation needs a freedmen's bureau. this is the freedmen's bureau, which will help africans americans -- african-americans one state. of that congress had passed the 14th needednt, even though it to be ratified and that leads to civil rights and civil rights, education is so crucial in the schoolyard. african-americans, children, and white together. that is the image of civil rights. it is more than civil rights. universal suffrage. not only male suffrage. it's also women's suffrage. this is what reconstruction was going to bring about. and as i said, it was endorsed by all of the great people, about 200 of them in the nation, all interesting this. this is the figure of peace. figure of peace, of jesus. you can see the figures closest again -- lincoln, washington, andrew jackson. there is madison and john adams. in

the times you exploiting nation and manipulation because we we have heard. reports about certain missions being involved in arms smuggling and other last and charitable activities. how open do you think the u.s. is indeed to the interest loyd in murder not open to being exploited but there are individuals who do not perform to the standards of the united nations inferred i've just not established website called conduct dot you're in mischance dot. which provides all the beauty of any misconduct which has been carried out in a peacekeeping operation or in a special political mission and retain this website you know going to be about three months ago and we think that by being transparent in such a fashion we are able to remove the. bad sheep from begin to ourselves and for taking action against him ok well mr carr we have to take a very short break now but back in just a few moments stay tuned. it's a very rough terrain you're sort of climate and you have to fight to be able to live. it was. very fresh. in the end i mean even not. you know i don't want to. see

we have dramatic photography that shows the state of affairs and nationally. this photograph in particular is very poignant. this is a photograph of new york's central park in in the 1932. foreground, you see a shantytown, one of many that have sprouted up around the nation. many of them are nicknamed hoovervilles. they are in the shadow of the metropolitan museum of arts. this is a reminder of the scale of human suffering in the year 1932 when franklin roosevelt is running for president. the 1932 democratic convention was held in chicago. when roosevelt was nominated, he received word of the nomination in albany. and then he did something unprecedented in american politics and quite dramatic. he flew out to the convention to accept the nomination in person. up to that point, when an american presidential candidate received the nomination of their party, they would receive a delegation formally at their home or at a political site in their home state. they did not go to the convention or deliver a speech. roosevelt broke with that convention in a dramatic way.

the almighty, all-knowing creator. we submit to your infinite wisdom. on behalf of our nation and these leaders, we seek your forgiveness for playing our ways higher than yours. grant us your amazing grace from our sin as we turn to you. open the years of this body, this nation's leaders, in all who call this great land home, to hear your voice. tenderize the soil of our hearts so we may receive your guidance. kill our land of bitterness, hate and evil against you and one another. grant our nation a spiritual renewal and mr. ayotte: wakening. give -- and awakening. give this nation and leaders wisdom. as we follow you, let your favor be with us. let your name ring higher than any other name. for it is in your holy, loving, merciful and gracious name we pray. n jesus' name, amen. the speaker: the chair has examined the journal of the last day's proceedings and announces to the house his approval thereof. pursuant to clause 1 of rule 1 the journal stands approved. the pledge of allegiance will be led by the gentleman from california, mr. mcnerney. mr. mcnerney: i ask everyone to

based policy initiatives at the state and national level. e sort of policies that we heard from your colleagues in the governor's council of the bipartisan policy center called for in an announcement yesterday. on the regulatory front, we actually at noon today released a series of recommendations to the food and drug administration on strengthening the regulatory approval and monitoring policies of the food and drug administration. in order to ensure that when the fda reviews an opioid for approval, they're not just looking at the individual costs and benefits, but they're taking into account the societal costs and benefits. this is vitally important to provide air cover if you will or those policies at the clinician prescribing level. in addition, we are committed to working with you to ensure that every clinician is supporting the monitoring efforts that are embedded in the prescription drug monitoring programs that you have throughout your states. the treatment policy arena, we've mentioned briefly, is especially important that programs f

the social capital. upon which one bases a national idea. to have common glories in the past and have a common will in the present. to perform great deeds together to wish to perform still more these are the essential conditions for being a people. a nation is therefore large scale solidarity, constituted by the feeling of the sacrifice. that one has made in the past. and of those that one is prepared to make in the future." interesting. sacrifices of the past by one self and others is so centrally important. the ballast of the past is similarly indispensable to the sense of american natural identity. it forms a strain in our patriotism that is far less articulate than the strength burns identifies. it conflicts with assertions of american universalism to some extent. it's intellectual base is less well defined. it is a very particular force. our nation's particular triumphs and sacrifices and suffering, and the memories of those draw and hold us together because they are the sacrifices and suffering, not of all humanity, but of us. one may h

this will be anya shrubsole second state of the nation address. a chance to him to set out his vision for the philippines in the years ahead. a spokesperson said he will be speaking about terrorism, he will be speaking about terrorism, he will be looking at the conflict in morale we, on the island of mindanao. —— marawi. there have been more than 570 deaths. his extension of martial law on minder now. —— minder now opposition groups will be speaking out as well, putting together an alternative state of the nation address and that is likely to heavily criticise rodrigo duterte for his record on human rights during his campaign on his war on drugs. howard johnson in manila, and we will have more analysis on that state of the nation address in the philippines very shortly. but first, let's take a look at some of the day's other news. in texas, nine people have been found dead in the back of a truck, two of them children. twenty—eight others were suffering from severe dehydration. police say they believe the incident is linked to people—smuggling and t

president trump took the view that the tpp was not in the direct national interest of the united states. it should be noted that this was a policy position adopted by both presidential candidates, indeed most nominees. australia respectfully disagrees with that position. it comes down to an interpretation of national interest that we fear is too narrow. the tpp was about more than trade. it was also an expression of the closer engagement with the region and the strategic leadership of the united states. australia remains supportive of the tpp principles and we will continue to strive for high-quality trade agreements, which in this case, had set a new benchmark for trading rules. we believe there are many benefits for the remaining 11 countries and we are continuing to discuss future options. our views are well known in washington. we are assured that the united states will continue to negotiate free trade deals, but with better outcomes. the u.s. withdrawal from tpp also means the regional comprehensive economic partnership, to which the u.s. is not a party, takes on greater importance

, the only nation they know. thank you mr. chairman and i ask for a vote. >> all those in favor? [inaudible] >> the last word if you would please. >> happy to recognize you. i have great respect for the chairman, and i understand what he was saying about authorizing and an appropriations bill, but i am puzzled with that argument because having worked on this issue as he said so eloquently for two years, you probably understand this more than most of the people in this room. we give our particularly experiences, i talk about how families need stability. i'm just giving one example, but there've been many about authorizing and the appropriations bill. if i'm not mistaken on finci pae bill that was included in the financial services appropriations bill. it seems to me the last time i checked that's authorizing on an appropriations bill. so i think given the emotions on this issue, given the mixed messages that are coming out of the administration on the third action for dreamers seems to me families desperately needs

on the the patriotism and nationalism thing. it's a healthy tension mixing of universalism and particularism. push a little on the walter burns side. how easy that mixing it and how it's greater and the ability to mix a little less. on jim, you mentioned naturalism, healthy nationalism a took on the soviet union which i think it's true. it's moving when you hear people from poland talk about czech republic. talking about rising up the restore. dignity of their nationality against that the soviet umpire. historical matter, visit of the pope that was so crucial. the presence of the polish pope and it was so crucial to the one aspect of the soviet umpire. which is universalistic challenge the soviet union. not simplal naturalist one. the other thing appears to be helping, kind of modern cosmopolitanism. type of liberalism really. this is what brought down the soviet union catholicism. not so much nationalism. at the end of the universalism is much stronger as part of patriotism than nationalism. the kind of attachment to the history

the nation of islam, once the honorable elijah muhammad passed away, his son, his son changed the nation of islam over to like a sunni muslim kind of part of islam. and ali went with that. the reverend louis farah can come about three or four years later, reinstituted the nation of islam when he broke with elijah muhammad son. so no, he became just for lack of a better word a normal muslim for the rest of his life. which was what happened with malcolm x. that's where malcolm x got in trouble with the nation of islam because he had become a regular muslim and not a member of the nation of islam. yes, sir work.

we sent in the national guard. this emergency is far bigger. we didn't have a single death in the riots in baltimore. we have 2,000 in the last three months. this problem is tearing apart families and communities from one end of our country to the other. i'll just say that in spite of all of our efforts, we aren't making much progress. and we've got to kind a way to get the federal, state, local community all working in the same direction together with community organizations and faith-based organizations right down to the families and we've got to hit it from every direction with everything we've got because this is one of the biggest crisis to ever affect our country. not just from a drug cry sichis. i want to thank everybody for all the great work they're doing and thank the nga for putting this on. but i just want to ratchet up the panic level a little higher to say this isn't just an important issue we're talking about, but a real crisis and a real danger to our country. >> thank you, governor. governor walker, do you have a comment to add?

it came from the 15th new york national guard, and when the u.s. troops were federalized it became part of the 93rd division. when they got to france, the french were in dire need of support, and pershing lent out two of the regiments of the 93rd division and they were fighting along the martin river and they established a reputation there as incredible fighters. one man, henry johnson, was the first african-americans to receive any medal on the american side during the war, and he received one, and they were one of the most highly decorated units in the war. another aspect of their history was their band leader, james reese europe, and he created a band out of musicians of the 369th, and they were really credited with bringing jazz to the people of france. he also had an incredible feeling for how music would affect the soldiers in entertaining them as well as the civilians. of course, the commander of the american expeditionary forces was general john j.pershing, who during his earlier career, especially in the west, did command african-americans

battles over the peculiar institution and its place in the american nation. from the missouri crisis of 19 -- 1819 to the dred scott issues, from lincoln to the essential rights of the enslaved, during the same -- during the same lincoln douglas debates, to the idea that the confederate nation was founded on the belief of inherent black inferiority, the elements of a seven decades long divisive battle over slavery and race in america first emerged in the house of representatives at the inaugural meeting of congress. thank you. >> [applause] >> what was at stake? the petition was not a bill that could have accomplished anything. prof. polgar: these were resolutions. these resolutions expressed the feelings of one congress interpreting the constitution at one given moment in time. having said that, the constitution says that the slave trade cannot be ended before 1808 but does give congress the power to regulate the slave trade. in fact there was a bill passed a few years later regulating the slave trade. taxes could be applied to foreign slaves. there was that
