general assembly adopted a resolution asking the u.n. secretary-general to convene a conference about weapons of mass destruction free zone starting from 2019 and continuing until there is a legal binding treaty. the first conference will be -- right now is being planned for november 2019 in new york, but the initiative has been received in the region with mixed results. we are very delighted that dr. ford agreed to speak about it today. let me introduce dr. ford. chris served as special assistant to the president and senior director of weapons of mass destruction at the nsc. and ased on capitol hill an intelligence officer. a less known fact about you, you are a third toree black belt in two did itjiu jitsu and i think serves you well in your current position. while it is a very niche topic and only few of us agree to go deeply into the topic and really figure out how we can operationalize it, it is a testament by the amazing amount of audience that there is an interest on the topic as well as the fact they managed to get over 100 people

the most recent example is the un's general assembly's adoption of the conference approach last fall. ourave repeatedly voiced uncomfortableness with that and the degree to with the approach made no effort and was quite foreseen in very clear ahead of time that israel would not be willing to participate in discussions on the terms they were offered. we feel that is yet another example to weaponize multilateral institutions and in this case to use the procedures to dive forward with a solution everyone knew wasn't going to work, even though that might not necessarily be a problem insofar as this is a useful way to demonize opponents. i understand the logic and one should give technical merit to it that is not the way to get parties together to reach meaningful paths forward to a meaningful solution. we do not think the conference represents a constructive approach and we will not participate and we hope others will see the wisdom in not doing so as well. that is a problem. but what is another approach? we would like to argue the case for an approach more consistent with how it is that

the 17 resolutions of the united nations security council she went against the united nations general assembly resolution and they went against the agreement they have taken a decision in which they want to change the demographics of kashmir the u.s. says new sanctions against venezuela will cut off financing for president nicolas maduro america has frozen all venezuelan government assets blocking us companies and individuals from doing business with administration. president trump is taking a very strong move here imposing these sweeping sanctions putting a full block of full freeze on all assets of all parts of the government of venezuela in the u.s. and also imposing sanctions or setting up the. situation to impose sanctions on any person or business that goes significant business with the government of venezuela so this goes well beyond anything we've done before and it really is a very strong move by the president the f.b.i. will investigate him a shooting in the u.s. state of ohio saying the gunman had an interest in violent ideology 24 year old college betts killed 9 people including hi

if this personal meeting takes place next month in new york during the united nations general assemblyn't think so, cheryl. you have to remember that xi-jinping is under tremendous pressure in beijing. he owns the trade war. it's also his hard line policies that caused the problems in hong kong. if he doesn't have 100% wins on both of them, he could lose not only his political position, but much more. he's not going to be in a position i think to take a reasonable deal from president trump either on trade or on hong kong. cheryl: the big story this morning and we don't know where this is going is the satellite images of the paramilitary troopers over in shinzen. there is a bridge over to hong kong and the concern is the chinese military will step in, how likely is that? >> if we were talking a year's timeframe, i think it would be likely. i don't think we'll see any movement from the people's army for quite some time. got to remember, october 1st is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic, it's supposed to be a big celebration inside china. they do not want proble

[applause] a few weeks ago, we commemorated the 400th anniversary of the new worlds first representative assembly. it was a moment worthy of remembrance not only for what began, but how far we have come in the 400 years since. certainly the same is true of this anniversary. for we commemorate for centuries of african-american contributions that have enriched our commonwealth and country to shape the america we know today. we also know the unspeakable tragedy and awful injustice that marked that beginning. as i said at jamestown last month, the year 1619 saw the beginning of not only the highs of america, but also the lows of america. we are here today to acknowledge the lowest of lows, the forced arrival of africans to english north america on these very shores, which tragically was the genesis, the shameful evil that became systematic enslavement based on race. this occasion will challenge us to seek a de
