they didn't-- it didn't occur to anybody to call it greater brooklyn or greater queens but greater new york was a term that had semiofficial status for some time. then it faded away. >> glor: what was it about this period, the first couple of decades of the 1900s that surprised you the most, and you think might surprise those who read this? >> . >> well, there's two dimensions to this period. one of them is the effort to make koition real. it was on paper, yes. but was it a reality. and this involved a colossal amount of work. digging the subway systems, digging the hudson river tunnel so you could connect to and build new penn station facilities. skyscraper are erupting out of bed rock. there is an enormous amount being done. and that's relatively easy to nar rate. and wasn't terribly surprising. what was more interesting in a sense was the social struggles. i mean you could get the idea that new york after all of this reconstruction worked. and from the presentation of the efficiency, profit ability, the private profit ability, that was clearly the case. the question was, how about i

until we get to that point, we're going to have greater hurricanes and greater earthquakes, monsoons,you want to call them that will bring us to our burial grounds rather than causing us to resurrect like the phoenix. >> i'm armstrong williams, provocative, necessary discussion. we'll be back. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> peter live from the u.k. is joining us to talk a little about artificial intelligence and why it is so important. welcome to the show. what is the significance of artificial intelligence? >> thanks for having me on the show. i think artificial intelligence and the application of artificial intelligence is probably the most important thing we've witnessed in the last 20 or 30 years. it's very much akin to the industrial revolution in the 18th century where machines started doing what been doing by hand. >> so go ahead. continue. >> means is that the things we buy at the moment, whether it's food or cars or insurance, things are going to be made better, safer and cheaper and you probably noticed that. if you look at the spec on the car you have today versus a car you maybe had five yea

it may give him greater freedom to be assertive. it also may give him greater freedom to ignore some of the pressures that he might otherwise feel he needs to cater to in order to maintain his control within the leadership. i do not know how to assess that in terms of the net outcome for a particular issue. but i don't think it is just a uniform direction in terms of okay, well, he has greater control so he can give them to his obvious inclination to help china play a greater role. >> you said what i was going to say. [laughter] and it's -- i have not seen a lot of evidence. others may contradict this, that there are hugely divisive i issues in foreign policy that exist within the chinese leadership. i think they in general look at xi jinping as somebody who is more of a kind of take charge decisive guy who -- and they like that. i don't think they necessarily think, oh, he is out to get me. i'm talking about the most senior people who would be coming in, and if the 19th 19th party congress consolidates his backers in this regard, t

in other areas, we're long overdue for greater cooperation. the more we expand cooperation on issues like cyber security and disaster relief, the more nations will benefit. we must recognize that many nations have limited alternatives when it comes to infrastructure investment programs and financing schemes, which often fail to promote jobs or prosperity for the people that claim to help. it's time to expand transparency mechanisms instead of saddle them with mounting debt. india and the united states must lead the way in growing these multilateral efforts. we must do a better job leveraging our collective expertise, and seeking more avenues of cooperation to tackle those that are to come. there is the need, and we must meet the demand. the increasing convergence of u.s. and indian interest and values offers the indo pacific the best opportunity to defend the rules based global system that's benefited so much of humanity over the past several decades. but it comes with a responsibility for both countries to do the needful, in support of our un

as we look for more ways to facilitate greater development others in the region. for prosperity to take hold in indoso-pacific, stability must evolve. india, this evolution will entail fully embracing its potential as leading player in he international security arena. first and foremost, this means building security capacity. good friend and colleague secretary mattis was in dehli this.onth to discuss we both eagerly look forward to he inaugural two plus two dialogue championed by president trump and the prime minister soon. indian navy was first overseas user of the it eillance aircraft, effectively feels with the u.s. counter parts speak of our interest and need to enhance interoperatability. put sal the united states forward, including for guardian uav's, aircraft carrier technologies, the future program and f-18 and f-16 fighter aircraft are changers for game our commercial and defense cooperation. and , technology transparency speaks for itself, and sovereignty and security. issues that concern india are concerns of the united states's. has said the is world'

the number of actors needs to be greater. when we talk about the issues of nonproliferation and strategic stability, it is not just for eign ministries. it is also done together with the ministers of defense in russia. also federal securities services are involved. certainly, it depends on how our interests are presented in the package we are proposing. and of course, the action of the parliament depends on that. i see the administration of the u.s. president trying to work with parliament with her congress. we see parties that try to use the congress to create unsurmountable obstacles for the american administration. as long as these negotiations, talks continue, i don't think we will receive any specific reaction from the congress. theng an into account russophobia we have been saying for quite some time. >> i am the ambassador for disarmament from sweden. mr. minister, you stressed the importance of the and see and we agreeeement and we all how crucial the agreement is. i was wondering, apart from organizing this excellent

volume isok, a second called greater gotha "greater ga history of new york city from 1898 to 1919."book traces new york's transformation into one of the worlds greatest to cities. mike wallace joins me from chicago. i am pleased to have him on this program. professor, the first book cover 375 years. this one is only 20. why were 1898-1919 so important? york this is when new became the recognizably modern city we are familiar with now, and merged with brooklyn and the to 1919, when it was an established megalopolis. the amount of material available to reckon with in doing this 20 year period was enormous. to donow possible relatively easy research online because so many books have been digitized. the choice of 1919 as an end to when new york becomes a co-rival to london for the status of financial capital of the world. were these years the most important generation in the city's history? down it is hard to pin importance because it is a moving target. you would have to go back to the 1820's and the 1830's and the erie canal.he. c that ground was connected, capital and labor and ideas

to greater or lesser degree, sometimes the dozens, sometimes hundreds of thousands. in africa, where you have seen both al qaeda and the islamic state trying to establish what they hadfind in afghanistan 17 years ago which is a safe haven from which they can deliberately plan, plot, and launch attacks against the united states, we don't want them to have that. that does not mean we have to see in africa what we saw in afghanistan 16 years ago. it means that we want to try to empower and train the local forces to deal with these insurgencies. often times if you are ethnically, probably, historically rooted, then end up swearing loyalty to organizations like a qaeda. as the actual caliphate falls, think one fears that you may see growing numbers of islamic state afghanistances like and africa or around the world and it is possible you could see some of the most dangerous you know, put soldiers or high commanders of the islamic state escaping a rock in syria and getting into some of the new say fans -- safe havens. say wasnistan they trying to keep a lid on the al qaeda

it is reported that 79% of indebted claimants were at greater risk of eviction, this is from bailiffshalf of those in rent arrears on the universal credit report they entered into arrears after making the claim. what is worse is that many claimants are not even receiving support within the government's lengthy deadline of six weeks. one in four are waiting longer than six weeks, and one in ten awaiting more than ten. the government's so—called advance payment, which is meant to be those —— available to those in need,is be those —— available to those in need, is in fact a loan which has to be paid back within six months from future social security payments. i welcome the announcement the secretary of state has made, about speeding this up, but i want to get on to ina speeding this up, but i want to get on to in a moment what we might need to twea k on to in a moment what we might need to tweak around this. as we were hearing, these measures are pushing people into debt, rent arrears and even homelessness. last year the housing association federation warned that approximately 80% of te

jeff: when you say greater gotham, what does that mean? i know it sounds chauvinistic, but in reality, when the merger occurred, people refer to it as greater new york. it did not occur to people to call it a greater queens. it had semi-official status for some time, then faded away. jeff: what was it about the first couple of the decades of the 1900s that surprised you most and might surprise those who read this? mike: there are two dimensions to this period. one is the effort to make consolidation real. it was on paper, it yes, but was it a reality? this involved digging the subway systems, digging tunnels to connect and build penn station facilities, skyscrapers erupting out of bed rock. there is an enormous amount being done, and that is relatively easy to narrate. it was not terribly surprising. what was more interesting was the social struggles. you could get the idea that new york after all of this reconstruction worked, from the presentation of efficiency, private profitability, that was the case. how about issues of social justice

for that to happen, greater regional, activity is essential. roads,lk routes to grand south asia was for millennia a region bound together by the exchange of goods, people, and ideas. but today, it is one of the least economically integrated regions in the world. interregional trade has languished, sitting at around 4% to 5% of total trade. , at 25%that with asean of total trade. the world bank estimates that with barriers removed and streamlined procedures, interregional trade in south asia would nearly quadruple from the current $28 million to $100 million. greaterhe goals of conductivity is providing nations in indo pacific the right options when it comes to sustainable development. the millennium challenge corporation is one model of how we can achieve it. the program is committed to data, accountability, and evidence-based decision-making to foster the right circumstances for private investment. last month, the united states and nepal signed a $500 million contract agreement, the first with a south asian nation to invest in infrastructure

this theme will receive greater emphasis on the 40th anniversary celebration of germany's defeat in may, 1985. the regime also has received considerable propaganda benefit from the soviet union's exploits in space and in international sports competitions, and it often attributes these achievements to the superiority of socialism. sports, moreover, is seen as an outlet for popular energies and a distraction from the hardships of daily life. the soviet union has often been referred to in the west as a closed society. the regime's ability to insulate the population from exposure to foreign information and ideas not only confirms this notion, but provides it with a major prop for the soviet system. xenophobic nationalism was not discovered by the bolsheviks, however. it has its roots in old russia. throughout russian history, contact with foreigners were discouraged, and it was practically impossible for a foreigner to live or operate a business in the country. until 1703, all domestic and foreign news was deemed a state secret, and foreign news has secret, and foreign news has been regarde

in these extreme events is greater and because of the warmer atmosphere it holds more water vapor so we get more extreme rainfall events and we certainly saw that there. and also the strength of the storms the storms are fueled by the latent energy of water vapor so at the end they get that energy is that why they're so much larger than well it's it it gives you the potential for maximum for increased wind speed because the fuel for the storm is is the water fabre and the a warmer ocean will provide potential for higher whims. and this is i think one of the things that for those of us who read your work in the work of other climatologists is that you have been very clear about the kinds of patterns though the weather patterns that global warming creates and we're watching those patterns and yet certainly within the mainstream discourse nobody speaks about because this well what happened houston is not it's an eval that's going to happen again. yeah. it's pretty simple as the planning gets warmer then we get more extreme events. higher temperatures. lead to more stronger droughts and

the governor a few days ago leading up to this congress that he was reemphasizing the need for a greater role in the market of the yuan, and it has been a lot of conversation around liberalization and if the market is going to have a greater role over the exchange rate on the back of his party congress, so interesting to hear from the president on that. also, as you say, interesting to hear him say they were pushed to lower barriers for foreign businesses. this has been a long time for european businesses and u.s. businesses, remaining very sealed off to investments, like pharmaceuticals, logistics, like banking sector. interesting he highlighted that as well. thisere always exists unspoken tension that takes place in china between the private sector and state owned enterprises, and that takes me to a phrase that we keep hearing him mentioning on and on and on ,ince he started that speech which essentially means opening up and reforming the economy. he's talking about the fact that we also need to strengthen the state sector in china. does that in any way in your view indicate that he mi

the party, the country, the people, and the military, and the people, and the military, and the greaterecedented improvements. china is rising in the east of the world, with a very new face. through our long—time striving, socialism with chinese characteristics has entered a new era. this is a new positioning we are taking. socialism with chinese characteristics in this new era means, in the contemporary times, chinese have suffered, but now have become a great power in the world. we can see the great regionalisation of china in the near future. in the 21st century, technology and science play an important role in the world. we are highly raising socialism with chinese characteristics than. —— banner. this also means socialism with chinese characteristics in our thoughts, are culture, are flourishing. which has helped the other countries which are trying to grow in the modern time. we also give a new choice of the other countries, and we have contributed chinese wisdom to the world growth. in this new era, it is a crucial time that we need to work further towards achieving socialism wit

growth and what greater economic growth comes better paying jobs, higher wages and bigger projects for the american people. we are excited to move forward and i think this is something long overdue and it will benefit american families and hard-working americans who desperately need tax relief and a break and we intend to give it to them. >> the democrats continue to try to obstruct president trump and getting his team in place. by this state in the obama administration they had twice as many nominees confirmed as we had by this state now in the trump administration. this is a process that is designed by the democrats to delay the president from getting his team in place to the point that 47 times we have had to file cloture on nominees, which of course burns a significant amount of time on the floor of the united states senate. in comparison, when you look at the number of times cloture had to be filed up till this date in the administrations of both president george herbert walker bush and george w. bush, as well as bill clinton and barack obama, it was a total of six cloture votes c
