the united states the european union the united nations the african mission to somalia which is funded by both the pentagon and the european union so in that regard they have not fostered any sustainable stability inside the country so these issues are being evaluated among the states some are considering pulling out because they've been there now for twelve years and still al-shabaab is operating in the south and the central regions of the country white house the u.s. become more militarily involved in somalia in recent years what's strategic importance for washington. well the entire region of the horn of africa and the east african coast has course been the site of the discovery of the development exploitation. all as well as natural gas resources is also city typically located. arabian peninsula it is located near the gulf of aden which is one of the most lucrative shipping lanes in the world so the u.s. does have to teach an interest in this area and since it's really not reported by the mainstream media and the united states they feel they can and will bomb somalia on a weekly ba

this united nations nation peacekeeping operation it is the deadliest and it's what makes this mission so dangerous for u.n. peacekeepers well i can talk specifically what it means for us canadians. so the threats that we would face would be from rocket propelled grenades or man portable air defense missiles or heavy machine gunfire and i've got most confidence in our training ability and are quite meant to deal with the those threats so that i'm a mixture really. we take all those factors into consideration but i think our training and equipment will mitigate the most of the risk that will face in this operating environment and one last question give us an example of an operation looks like for the canadian forces we run into lines of operations the first line of operation that we have here our primary one is for medical evacuation so we have one chinook into griffins that are on thirty minutes notice to move twenty four hours a day and they are ready to respond to him a news my request to go to what will call the point of injury and there will be a nine line which is a military jargo

eric: from on the suspend a former director of communications and spokesman of the united states mission to the united nationsitional bluster? >> i would say both, eric. this is not anything new as you and i both know. covering this conflict for decades it seems. it is the style of the north koreans to come out with these crazy phrases like gangster style approach of the u.s. regime and bluster like this. and at the same time, it very well could take a turn for the worse in terms of negotiations and the high hopes that we had that maybe we are going to see a move toward denuclearization of the korean peninsula and the end of that long war. >> you just refer to covering this as some of your audience know before you went into government service you are a bureau chief at fox news and you and i worked together for it seems decades on this. did we heard the bluster from north korea calling templeton a bloodsucker and a very ugly fellow and they get personal. here's what the "washington post" says they say the sharp language from the deputy foreign minister was typical tactics. the vice minister accused pompeo a na

kingdom of the netherlands in dc, a career diplomat having served in nairobi, sarajevo in a mission to the united nations in new york among others. for the minister of foreign affairs. next we have david mortlock, nonresident senior fellow with the atlantic council's global energy center and a partner at the law firm of wilke, farr and gallagher. he previously served in various positions at the state department and was the director for international economic affairs at the national security council. next to david we have kerri-ann bent. she serves at barclays bank where she focuses on sanctions and money laundering, anti-bribery. kerri is also a member of barclays legal pro bono team and the barclays women's initiative, an organization that recruits and provides mentors for women. i like to open our panel by looking at where sanctions have been effective and positive lessons learned from those experiences. there are a few key lessons that our team at the atlantic council economic sanctions initiative assesses to be main priorities. first, that multilateral sanctions are more fefktive theffective than uni

united nations. he's just back from a mission tied to the war in syria. you're just back from lebanon filled with so many refugees driven by the war in syria. hard to believe that it's now in its eighth year. >> yeah, and these are people who have been there for that long and i met a lot of children who have been there their whole lives who literally don't remember what syria -- snrs they thought it was going to be a couple of day, a couple of weeks. >> yes, i met a family in the bekah valley who left thinking they would go for two or three days to get away from the shelling and violence and have been there for eight years and they have twins. these two beautiful kids, yesen and resin and they were 4 months old when they came to lebanon and they're living a life where they've had to live in just really, really tough condition, finally finding some shelter. having to move all the time and, you know, it's a very tough life being a refugee. you don't have any rights as a citizen. most of them are not allowed to work. so, you know, to even be able to provide

that that of leadership that does in published missions need after all there is another aspect that one has to address this is the president of the united nations africa countries have been given control of to the united nations and does is editions there become a part of the international bureaucracy they also benefit from this coming out of aid leading to a dead defected from the international community giving them ill. top rig is really a way to see all the musicians in an important environment ok i've done what i did a study they're going to talk about i'm going to talk about the international community adama and what they should do and what they shouldn't do in a moment but and always very quickly this isn't easy to answer quickly perhaps you could tell us who the different groups are because from what i've read there are at least four distinct fighting groups involved in taking on the military. yes so i mean the i have to admit that i'm not a security expert i'm more political experts but. there are several groups that exist out rating in the country and one of them is more arcade that has the it it that comes from money and that has as p

trans com ships are under way, area refueling missions are orbiting overhead and planes converted to intensive care units are moving our nation's ill and injured. i should remind everybody, though, that the key to our success is global access and i would like to highlight that our allies and like-minded partners that provide access to key regions support substantial basing and reinforce dod's global reach are critical to our mission. we know we must never take our success for granted. for decades we could generally deploy our forces when we wanted, assemble them where we wanted and operate how we wanted. with the rise of great power competition we can no longer assume that we can operate with impunity. before closing i'd like to acknowledge the letters that i received from more than a dozen members of congress concerning the defense personal property program which relocates the household goods for our service members, civil younes abouyaaqoub and their families. simply put, i agree. we lack the capacity during peak season and we lack pressures to hold industry accountable. our most important resources are people and we owe them

from the security -- national security border mission and use them as a diversion to cross drug loads. we've had four specific cases here recently that we've seen those family units being used as a diversionary tactic. that's highly concerning for us going forward. so lastly just want to hit on some of the resourcing issues that all of this causes for u.s. border patrol, cbp. we've devoting a large amount of our daily resources to this. the facilities and the manpower cannot support the continued increase in the apprehensions of family units and unaccompanied children. our border patrol stations were built in the '80s and '90s, they were built for a different demographic, not for the current amount of family units and uacs that we're seeing and each day each and every day border patrol is putting approximately 25% to 40% of our manpower is being dedicated to the care, transportation and the humanitarian mission. they're pulled from the national security mission to do these things. we're committed to addressing these humanitarian needs, but the current situation is unsustainable for border patrol operations. with this the increased flow, the combined with the stre

mission . it all started with a cooking competition which money won. she used the prize money to buy her first album and then she got a loan through the united nations. since then business has been growing and she now employs eight pizza chefs are going to say i'm happy that i can work here that many women would like to because you can't get a job anywhere else no matter how hard you try mother would say that and it's my goal to hire women and young people can hardly find work in the refugee camps and it's even more difficult for young women. in. mani has made it. with advertisements like this she promotes her project and her camel pizzas. business is brisk in the evening at the refugee camps you can get a pizza for the equivalent of two euros. many people are looking for something to spice up the monotony of life here mani has. something of a cult status she's a young woman with her own business who travels the region on her own with her plate says that's her respect. i'm so happy that there is finally a pizzeria in the camp and i hope that hindu will also pursue other projects for the. extolled it is quite unusual for a woman to open a pizzeria all

mission. our nation is reeling from the realization of what the united states government under this particular administration has done. and i really believe in the end we're going to have to start talking restitution. so, i hope that the aclu will look into ways and work with this congress to look at what restitution could look like for these families because there's no way that this crime against humanity should go just the way that it has. >> thank you, congresswoman. and we absolutely will. >> gentleman from texas, mr. burgess, is recognized. >> thank you madame chair. thanks to our witnesses, our panel, for staying with us. this has been a long day, an important day, an informative day. let me be sure that i'm clear on a couple of items. first, mr. gelernt, as we've heard throughout the course of this long day, problem on the border during the trump administration. but it may have actually pre-dated the trump administration. so, i remember going down in 2014, 2013, i think in the height of the surge of unaccompanied immigrant children in 2014 i remember border patrol individual giving me a

the united states and nation building this battle to take down the caliphate has cost billions of dollars in it and one just wonders if if we saw the same amount of investment in to go going into mission building or rebuilding in this case that might just help do the trick absolutely but i don't think president trump is going for that because you know he's not very much into this nation nation building i think he has already expressed his his willingness actually to to withdraw from syria as soon as this this war ends and we still we still need to know of course what the american strategy is going to be in syria after the defeat of isis because there is no clear u.s. strategy i mean some time from say is that he wanted he wants to withdraw and then he he decides to keep some troops on. on the ground but at the end of the day the americans are not really good and this nation building them we have seen in iraq actually down really good in the war and in blowing things up when it comes to nation building i think you have very poor performance who may have what role do you think the united states and the international community should play in this but i think marwan is absolutely right th

united states is very limited. i think that leads the arresti a argument that we should shift away from this mission, simply because we have to choose nationalthreat. arthel: why do you say that? >> i think it's a very powerful nation state. it has a large economy. it can afford essentially all of the technology and weapon systems that it can buy, who knows if they know how to fight with them. they haven't been in a war since their little war with vietnam or the korean war. but a very dangerous threat. and if you just look at the way things are going, china soon will have three, four aircraft carriers in the pacific. we only have about five to six, depending half of those are in port or on the west coast at any given time. as far as a threat that can really harm or end the united states of america, it's not -- we have threats from iran. we have threats from is l islam. china is the one where we should focus our attention. arthel: they're telling me to wrap. i have to ask this. i haven't heard this. everybody focuses on china in terms of cyber war. but you're now saying that china has some military might that could threaten the u.s. >> yes. i

mission to the palestinians by folding it into the u.s. embassy to israel. >> he has already done that for the refugee issue, cutting all funds. the united nationsrganization for the refugees. he has done that by stopping criticism of israeli policy of creating settlements in the middle east. mark: the state department released a statement saying, the decision to close the consulate "does not signal a change of u.s. policy on jerusalem, the west bank or the gaza strip." vladimir putin has suspended russia's compliance with a landmark cold war treaty on nuclear missiles. the move is not a surprise. last month, he said that he would pull out of the agreement in response to a similar step by the u.s. president trump said the u.s. was withdrawing because of years of a violations by the russians, which moscow denies. global news 24 hours a day, on air and @tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. david? david: thank you so much. president trump has focused on tariffs as a tool of trade policy like no other president in recent history, but in pursuing better

in fact, the mission they were doing not long before the taiwan strait transit was helping us to enforce united nations sanctions against north korea and the illegal transfer of oils and ship to ship transfers in the east china sea. the coast guard has key relationships across the region, particularly for a lot of nations that don't have militaries but perhaps have defense forces -- and some instances where there are just law enforcement forces. it really helps with key challenges that some of the stations have. whether it is illegal or unregulated fishing, narcotics, human trafficking, maritime domain awareness. they are an important contributor across the region. i have a good relationship with linda fagan, the coast guard specific area commander. >> i just want to thank you for putting the spotlight on that. during the shutdown, there was this view that does this was not part of the fabric. and obviously, what they are doing out there really rebuts that narrative. >> thank you very much. time is expired. mr. turner. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i will ask you a question concerning the chinese nuclear

national guard is really good at understanding that they have a homeland defense mission. the air national guard is not. this is the only aircraft it has that can do surveillance in the unitedying to get rid of this. i've been really fighting because i'm the lone voice to do it because there's only a few of these aircraft. it's playing a very important mission on the border of mexico, a very important mission in the drug war and i'm going to do everything i can to keep the air national guard from divesting it it. the air guard is a great organization. they just don't understand that they have a significant role to play in counterdrug border and domestic homeland missions. pete: congressman, you mentioned these governors, one from wisconsin, who decided now to pull troops back from the border border. you say there's a political motivation. unpack that a little bit. >> yeah. a hundred percent. so democrats will say, "we just don't want a wall, but we want technology, we're all for border security, just no wall." and then when you put that into action and you say, "okay. well, the national guard, planes like mine, the rc-26, technology et cetera, we are the technology on the b
