communist is becoming even, well, redundant for the washington washington i'm sorry, i didn't want to offend your charges, that means the washingtoning redundant because the article is very helpless and why, well, it arises and because well ... if you take this seriously, then from this thesis follows directly that they will stop at nothing, and this is so, including the use of nuclear weapons, absolutely, because if you don’t take this text seriously, then to hell with it, yes, but if at least for a second to say that he said what he thinks, they don’t have, which they don’t have, and we don’t notice those that we abandoned in the process of our, our cultural development, we abandoned a lot, but kept a lot, you know , but we have preserved our conscience as an institution, by the way, this is interesting, you see, but in soviet times the category of conscience was very important, it did not disappear anywhere, despite the fact that there was atheism and so on, the category. in situations in which you need to be frank, in this sense, he should say it, they will all say it, who will be in their political seats in the near future, t

washington, d.c.'s soft on crime policies. we're going to have an emergency hearing wednesday with the mayor and police chief of washington dcaa risdiction over the city of washington, d.c. we've already passed , legislation this year that passed the house passed the the senate and was signed into law by the president that rescinded washington, d.c.'s soft on crime policies. we're going to have an emergency hearing wednesday with the mayor and police chief of washington dcaa >> chanting "hands off dc" >> we want to follow the money trail to see if outside groups are paying for this activity and things like that so we are all going to say a few words and then we will be happy to answer any questions. i yield to representative lauren boebert. >> [booing] >> this is what the students at gwu are facing each and every day. their learning activities are being disrupted; their finals are being disrupted. it's very disrespectful. we have jewish students who have approached me today who fear for the safety of their lives by the comments are being made. there are seven students who have been suspended for trespassing. it's time that mayor bowser gets aggressive in keeping sa

at one point franklin is in paris talking about george washington's 80,000 troops, when in fact, i think washington is commanding an army of 14,000 men. i mean, these dire times where franklin is really sending all of the aid from, paris that was necessary to fight. how did the money actually get across the atlantic ocean? well, the money comes in terms of blankets, tents and munitions and largely so. it really comes in in of the material that was required. and franklin gets, these extraordinary long sort of laundry lists of everything the army needs. and it's everything from blankets to thimbles. so he's running around with a with a cast of confederates trying fill those orders. and then initially secretly trying to ship those things back to the colonies. would ben franklin be described as a good human being? oh, i would a hard time naming a more benevolent person thought more of the common than the others. he's he's someone who, strangely interested in himself and deeply interested in how to better the world in which we live. i mean, this is a man of a hospital, a university a fire company, an in

washington in washington, dc. accordingly, there are not only protesters from george washington university, students of george washington university, but also other educational institutions, universities and colleges around, such as georgetown university, american university, howard university and other, possibly smaller educational institutions. all of them state that they are advocating that their universities sever all ties with organizations that are in one way or another funded by israel or finance israel, and here i propose to listen to the participants of the protest themselves, what exactly they stand for, we suggest to listen to the direct language. we demand that pro-palestinian views be protected on campus, that all charges be dropped against pro-palestinian students, event organizers and organizations, and that the university immediately disclose all of its investments and funds. and then renounced all funds associated with the essentially zionist israel, as well as ending all academic partnerships with israel. oleksii, i see that the situation on your campus at george washington university is quite calm. ho

the rhetoric continues to support for israel continues, but i guess, is there anything that washington washington could do right now to, to kind of force israel to scale back on the rough and maybe scale back entirely? yes, joe biden can be serious about about freezing arms transfers. you know, the arabs will tell you that the last american president to give them a fair shake was george h. w bush. that was a long time ago. that was 1988 to 1992. and so if joe biden wants to do right by the palestinian people and to force change and force respect for human rights, he has to cut off arms transfers to israel. i'm very glad that you brought up the word genocide. i have a very close friend is a former deputy attorney general of the united states. he's a constitutional scholar and he talks a lot about genocide and he said that there is a very specific definition. internationally recognized yep. definition of genocide and we're seeing it right now in gaza. this is a genocide. yeah, exactly, exactly, junk your yahoo is a host of the whistle blows program, which is a great show. i enjoyed very, very much

the proposal apparently in this form, will have a degree of support from washington, washington clearly at the moment, refusing to be drawing on any details, presumably the ones that have the right and talks with israel and going forward. how important is it to have assurances from america? it's a need for this at all difficult positions to work. i think it's extremely important . i mean, it's not a secret that the say director has been invasion to instruct them diplomacy and he has a bit of caught the maybe now he's an easy i'm not sure. but if the americans have blessed this new version of the, of the data, then yeah, i think it has a higher trust tool to succeed. yep. so if the americans of apparently bless this proposal in his current form, it does beg the question then what then would be the united states response to the is a really response they of course of what happened as a said that they will continue the operation in rafa to exec, military pressure on a mass, although they have said that they will send a delegation of mediators to egypt. what's going on here? how do we interp

washington washington and lincoln saw. a memo or a telegram that grant had sent to halleck in which grant asked about the of the riots on his troop strength. they be taking troops away to put down riots and also was just kind of a okay how are things? what's what's happening. and lincoln saw that and he picked up a piece of paper and he wrote this. i have your dispatch expressing your unwillingness to break your whole where you are neither. am i willing hold on with bulldog grip and chew and choke as much as. when grant received this telegram when he was handed the telegram by his telegraph clerk, he read it and he chuckled, and he turned to those around him and he said, the president has more courage than any his advisers. and he was right. but not only was president saying to him the most unmistakable. don't worry, i'm with you, keep at it. but he was delivering that message in a way that a political leader couldn't previously. and providing the support that his general needed for what had to be an incredible, lonely experience. but it was not always that way. i call this lincoln's dutch uncle. telegram. it was actually sent before the telegram. and it contains the four key components of how lincoln to use the telegraph. i have seen your dispatch in. you say, well, first of all, i have seen your point. one. i am listening. i'm watching in which you say i want sherrod in put in command of all the troops in the field with instruction to put himself south of the enemy and follow him to the death wherever they may go. let our troops go. also. this, i think, is right. as to how from how our forces should move. second point i what you're doing. i understand what you're doing. i agree with what you're doing. but please look over the dispatch. as you may have received from here, every ever since your you made that order and determine if you. that there is any idea in the heads of any in the heart of any our heads of quote putting our army south, underline of the enemy or following him to the death, underline. third point. watch out. watch your people. i agree with what you're? doing it may not be unanimous opinion. watch out. and then the fourth point the message i repeat to you it neither be done attempted. with unless you at every day and hour and force it. in other words. i'm expecting you to deliver on and that you understand your responsibility. this is one of the great examples of how lincoln ended up using the telegraph. so let's leave the battlefield. as you know, mary lincoln was quite peripatetic, traveling around around and in april of four she was in york with 11 year old ted and she was using telegraph like you and i used to her use the email to communicate with our family. now, something was atypical at the time and she sent a telegram to husband the president. we reached here safely. hope are well. okay, i've got all the pleasantries out of the way. please send me by mail today a check. $50 directed to me care of mr. warren leland metropolitan hotel and in a run on sentence she says ted says are the goats will. the president of united states receive this. it was april. 64. he was working with grant on what would become the overland. and he responded immediately with this telegram. the draft will go you. the checks in the mail mail. tell ted the goats and are very well dash especially the goats. i think this is favorite of the approx emilia 1000 telegrams that abraham lincoln sent because it gives you a insight. you can feel pathos of the pressure that he is constantly been under. you can feel the of dealing his wife and you can see how he refuge in wit wit. so at that desk that i was telling you about a minute ago over pennsylvania avenue. abraham lincoln invented something that no other national leader in history had ever been able to do to a new technology that people themselves that the rest of the country really didn't understand how to use. and to build on that technology, a leadership model that said in essence, as we saw in the grant to telegram let's agree a plan i'll supervise it electronically and i won't hesitate to step in if i think need be. i think when we think about our emails, that's a model for that as well. and so all i can say is. thank god he was an early adopter and. that he had this inquisitiveness about what is the application of technology. and he was unafraid to use that technology. and so just as we thought there was nothing new that lincoln has to tell us. his t mails reach out to inform us in our electronic experience and to give an unprecedented insight. into this great man and how he used this new. at a hinge point in history. thank you very much. okay. so we got people with mics. if you got questions, there's one right here. okay. is there any idea of how many telegrams sat and received? yeah slightly fewer than a thousand. that mean there were there were thousands. and thousands of telegrams that are in the in the through the whole course of the whole war. he sent about a thousand. are these telegrams in the official records? great. yes or no? the. i'll give you a backup. so the answer is most them are in the national archives. there are others. the lincoln museum and library has some brown has some. because of of. hey. i stumbled across this story. i, i was privileged to be the the president and chairman of the national archives foundation and and one day i was taking a potential donor up into the stacks. the archives building on pennsylvania avenue. and one of the archivists pulled out a book, glassing pages that had these handwritten telegrams in them. and i said it at that point in time. wow. those are mr. lincoln's t. and the idea for let's pursue this that story was born at that point in time. but most them are at the national archives. so sir, thank you for a great enjoy. thank you, sir. learning morse code cw, as you call it, did not come easy for me as i learned. but it took me a while because i probably have started before i was, in fact, writes another feature of. computers an idea how big this telegraph corps i mean how many people that knew how to send and receive. and do you have idea how fast they were sending and receiving? yeah, i can't answer. don't know the that the speed is. you know at one point in time i actually sat and tried to calculate how many bits per second were being transmitted so we can compare it to today. but but a a good telegraph operator could do a few words a minute and, and there were multitudes of them and throughout the army and, throughout other forces as well. you didn't ask this question, but i love this story. john moseby where were samuel john mosby's reading the book about mosby right now? john mosby and jeb stuart had guys in their command whose specialty was climbing the telegraph pole cutting the wire and then hold doing the wire to their toes so that spark would react. the saliva and they could read the dots and dashes. how'd you like that for a job description description and and so so there was the skill was was widespread. sir, here we got we got one right down here. one more. so thank you i know that there a trans-atlantic telegraph that in 1850 president buchanan talked of tried talk to queen victoria. yep. did abraham lincoln. in this attempt to win the civil war ever talk internationally cross atlantic to bring victoria or anywhere in the british government and great question the magic of ten. great question. there are no records such as i showed today of something like that. and you the great sort you're you're right i came this close from mentioning this when i was saying was no telegraph at the white house. 1858. buchanan has a telegraph key put in the white house from the east room of the white house so that he can receive and respond to. queen victoria's telegram coming over of the first transatlantic cable thank you very much show is over they took it out again what i going to use this for. yeah sir. i'm curious if jefferson davis or any of the confederate used to telegraph as well as lincoln and the generals. great question. the answer no for multiple reasons. reason number one is that there wasn't much telegraph infrastructure in the south. if you look at the census report sort of 1860 before the war, north of the mason-dixon line, there is spider web of telegraph lines, south of the mason-dixon line. there is one telegraph line that runs down the east coast, one telegraph line that runs down the mississippi valley, and one telegraph line runs across to new orleans. and that's it. during the war, the united states military telegraph corps built 15,000 additional miles of telegraph. the confederates 500, because as they had a supply problem. you need glass for the insulators and then you need metal for for the wire both of which were in supply for them. the other part of your question i think is interesting about the confederates of telegraph. it wasn't as if lee didn't send telegrams and so to his generals and and to to davis davis didn't send telegrams to his generals. but jefferson davis had an entirely different leadership style from abraham lincoln. he read his in their basically telling the recipient how dummy is that they are they are not lincoln's list and responding i know best and let me berate you. so there was a difference in capability and there was a difference in temperament that made an entire huge difference in how the technology was used. ma'am. i think just for some context, for me obviously the telegraph, the delivery unit stuff such wasn't instantaneous. things still have to be transcribed and then delivered to you, to the generals. but before this, how long? days, weeks before they would receive dispatches, it would get back to washington before the telegraph, yet depend on the distance and the availability. the railroad. here's a here's an example. first manassas. lincoln could the. from bull run 25 or so miles away. but had no idea what was going on out there. winfield scott who was the general in chief then. actually took a during the first manassas and had to awakened by the president to say, well, you know, do you have any idea what think's going on? because. that just, you know, you didn't that's not the way things worked. you know, when when when scott was in mexico in 1847 and took mexico. it was all his doing. you know, the a general the field was the closest thing to god. and as a result, many them were not thrilled with the telegraph. and if that was the last question, i want to add one last question because it's a fascinating thing that normally i get asked and and i want to make sure that you understand the story and that's what about the on these messages i talked about mosby's men you know, the and if yo

news, us correspondent , is at george correspondent, is at george washington university in washington, dc , where there are washingtonre there are yet further protests. stephen, what's the scene on the ground ? what's the scene on the ground? >> well, i'm here, as you say, at george washington university, named after the great founder of the united states. and behind me there is a statue of george washington , which has been washington, which has been completely vandalised with the words was a warmonger and even has an arabic headdress on these protests have swept across the united states. we haven't seen these kind of protests since 2020 with the blm riots , in new 2020 with the blm riots, in new york, as you mentioned, there have been over 300 arrests yesterday. last night there was violence on the other side of america in california , the america in california, the university of california. and i'm actually here, as you say , i'm actually here, as you say, at george washington university. and we tried to speak with some protesters . we wanted to speak protesters. we wanted to speak with some of the pro—palestine p

standards are established in beijing or beijing and to and to washington, first of all, regarding washington, it is so obvious that washingtons our main partner, washington is the leader of our support, because when washington is out of the game for a certain time, we see with you. we have some technical problems with the internet, now we will try to redial the satellite, which has already started to shake, that is, as for the united states, it is obvious that the delays with support, the fact that internal political games have begun, they have very seriously undermined our capabilities as well, and they seriously blown up in general. trust because inside of the country, many questions also began to appear about what policy the united states will build, whether it is ready to support us? that is, it is obvious that certain, let's say, criticism, perhaps it is connected with the fact that, after all, the help of china, the help of the united states, the support of the united states and biden, in particular, is very important, and it is leadership, but i am with you i agree that to a certain extent, probably uba'. not to chang

states, his interest in this district and state does not coincide with the politics of washington, while washingtonment to demand that i believe that our shmit is obliged to make a the american military, the junta, which seized power in a once democratic country, established a police regime, suppressed democratic freedoms, immediately released the students, as well as texas, by the way, texas should be free. summon the ambassador of the united states of america here, dig out and pass a law to protect american students, carry out personal sanctions against all americans who violate human rights, from state sheriffs to those sitting in congress in the senate, robot traders, student workers to finish ours.

washington. washington. i think as we've seen, ambassador kim talked about russian help, sorry, chinese help to russian terms of their own rearmament process. it's disappointing to see that from chinese companies. i hope the chinese government will look very covert of this and do what they can to curb that activity and stop the activity. but i think we need to see the continuing of threats globally and work with our partners across the world to make sure we secure our future. >> just one more question for all of you before return to the audience and our viewers at home. home. so think of your questions now. picky up on this thread about china and indo-pacific. you know, i wonder if the chip you could wait and on how you think china, whether it's role helping brushy and the conflict in ukraine or how nato is think about china, how china will figure in this historic summit. maybe ambassador kim, , start wh you. >> there's an increasing connection that's obvious to everybody that what happened in indo-pacific has direct bearing on security in the euro atlantic. you are going to see more and more of that discussion, about strategizing as we go forward. one of the ways in which we talk to the chinese about this issue and secretary blinken i'm sure discussed it with anybody else that he sought in beijing when he was there a few days ago, is that you can't, on the one hand, say that you want a stable, peaceful, productive relationship with the united states and with europe, on the one hand. and then on the other enable what we have clearly and very publicly identified as the greatest threat to our security. so you can have both of these happening at the same time. china has got to make some tough decisions as well. and if their past decision-making is anything to judge by, we think overall they will decide to invest in the future, which is they need the european market. they need cooperation with the united states. and we would like the same. we don't have any interest in having a contentious relationship with china. we want to compete but we don't want a conflict. >> china will -- [inaudible] >> and what happens in the pacific has also impact on our security in europe. it's important to have a strategic discussion with asia-pacific partners, which is going to happen together with the discussion of the eu, very important. and i agree that you cannot have like, you cannot separate the trade and security, treated as completely unrelated. chinese support for the russian war effort is very critical and problematic for european security. and it was raised by the chancery in his discussions when he was in beijing. so it's an important issue. >> okay. i think we will open up for questions. i had some on the ipad but if there's anyone in the room the once to ask one. i think -- please introduce yourself. >> my name is catarina. i have salute with school public servant under the question to all panelists. so we know that putin believes in time is on his side and that he basically accounts very much on the political landscape change in 2025 to his advantage. and not only political but the military consequentially. so my question to all of you, what conclusion would you like him to drop out of the washingtonit? thank you. >> i will just keep it very simple. nato is bigger, stronger, more united than ever before. and mr. putin has been wrong from the start. many of us in fact, have been wrong. when he went in with his full-scale invasion which, by the way, we warned about publicly, and he lied and said he had no intention of doing that, he went in unfair the 24th, 2022, with the expectation that kyiv would fall within days. didn't happen. what the plaintiff and able to achieve over the last two years, the on the simple act of endurance, is to push back the black sea fleet which i bet you none of us would ever have predicted. they had kept odessa open. they have kept this is going. and they have damaged the russian army in ways we could not have imagined. so i would say that mr. putin might want to be a little more modest in his predictions about what could happen. and i think we also should take some lessons from what we have witnessed over the last two years.

a world war, this is the biggest headache in washington, unlike inflaming russia, this is something that is being thought about in washington, in washingtonan it turn into a bigger war, can, will it necessarily turn, no, a lot will depend depends on the behavior of our allies, and it will depend on the behavior of russia as well, do you believe in the victory of ukraine, after all, in this war? i believe that as a historian, because to me it's a very... a very tragic page in history, on the one hand, on the other hand, it's a very recognizable page in history, it's a story that started with the american revolution, it's a story of the collapse of an empire, we we know how these stories end, the question of when, the question of price, these are the things that i don't know the answer to, but, but victory, survival and the existence of ukraine as an independent country. the state, well this, this is part of wider historical processes, i believe in this. it was an interview with the ukrainian historian serhiy plohii. read the full version of the conversation on our website and watch . page of voice of america in ukrainian on youtube. as lon

washington? you know, i think the big question is _ washington? you know, i think the big question is what - washingtonestion of what this means for sort of the longer—term picture for the rule of law and the united states. should donald trump win the presidency now, you're going to have an elected official who is in a position, who has kind of beat the criminaljustice who has kind of beat the criminal justice system. who has kind of beat the criminaljustice system. so the there's a question here as to what that means for city president —— sitting president who could potentially flout decisions from the securement —— the supreme court. does the trust administration listen to that or did they blow right past it, so the applications of this conviction by a jury of potentially profound particularly if donald trump does manage to somehow win this election. , ., �* , does manage to somehow win this election. , ., �*, , a ., election. john, let's stick to the politics _ election. john, let's stick to the politics for _ election. john, let's stick to the politics for the - election. john, let's stick to | the

washington, washington or any capital has to do with with the chinese leadership's view of free enterprise and the power that that the private sector has reached in china. so that's why there is a crackdown going on, which is making it less attractive of western. but we're actually less safe for western and other companies, too, to business there. and in fact and this is an interesting of our times i think it's impossible to get political risk insurance in china today. so if you have political risk it sure is great. and these roundabouts of 5 to 10 or even 20 years. but if don't have it, you need it and you can't it because even the underwriters, it's too risky to to underwrite business. well business operations in china. so that is a sign of how business is across the board view china and so unwittingly chinese the chinese leadership as of helping along this decoupling that is desired by it by some people and whether we want it or not it is happening for these combined reasons which is extraordinary. what would have what would the case today if people in washingtonblican strategists like you and maybe democratic strategists, were saying, well, you know, we need less exposure to china because that's making us too vulnerable and. the chinese government, we're making it as attractive as it was in nineties. then we would have a problem. they are actually helping an extraordinary confluence events, but absolutely just to stay on sort of our alliances, not only in europe but in asia. just following up on that question, you just answered and then i'm going to get the ambassador in before we turn it over to the audience. i was actually quite pleasantly surprised and very of orcus whenever the deal was announced. it, of course, did cause a lot of heart palpitations for some members in europe who are not a part of orcus. but is that the kind of ally and building that you would encourage a trump term to to do or do you actually think it was counterproductive to by not including more in europe? well, i think the french would say was deeply unproductive and

washington and the international criminal court is not good credible enough, especially when it investigates ace american forces committed war crimes and of ghana stone. or when it considers an arrest warrant against the leadership of washington's ally over war crimes and crimes against humanity and gaza. which ones one more pull thing is in the eyes is the spotlight. the court suddenly becomes fair and upright for the americans. no, i think it's justified it's of course, it is not recognized international by us either, but i think it makes a very strong point. us supports all international efforts to examine atrocities in ukraine, including the investigation by the i c. c, and the reporting by the un commission of inquiry on ukraine. the united states supports a range of international investigations, interest of the atrocities in ukraine, including the one conducted by the i see, i see. but we do not weigh in on each decision development as part of those investigations as well. has made it clear the eyes. this is warren's approved by a panel of judges, or in fact, anyone's will not stop the prime minister. and he's government's war on guys, on the news that's made. world headlines will hardly make changes on the grounds. but it's such a nice house, no pressure on these really is. and they american allies to all become increasingly isolated as the global majority rallies for palestine or even ocean ah, how t reporting from jerusalem palestinian national initiative party leader and was stuff about duty, says washington, the support of israel is a clear double standard. i hope that dakota does not the sky i owe you and does not show and you call it miss under american pressure, which is absolutely hypocritical. but on one side, there will come the court decisions against pressure and now the other condemned and the code for issuing these decisions about the 0 that shows how much they and i to states as for the total and complete the standard. because the american lead, that is thing to have the world should look, i've gotten. so there was and they think that the court of justice on the court of justice in the world is very united states senate congress, which is by the way and now some of its members out of citizen needs to take a punitive acts against the national court of justice. something unbelievable. uh they don't believe in international lawyers are united states does not believe in international it. below it committees in the law of the jungle and dental spar. whoever has the power can do it.

washington reacting very differently in a similar situation with russia. around in more, in the depths of their president and foreign minister and a helicopter crash for washington pushes for more sanctions against iran and mid accusations of disrupting toronto. the asian industry leading to the fatal accidents ultimately is the right government. that is responsible for the decision to fly a 45 year old helicopter. we're not gonna apologize for our sanctions regime at all . and the political powers of ukraine and later vitamins the lens to have officially expired as he refuses to hold elections. citing martial law in the country, the you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow with a look at the top news stories from around the world's present. officials have lashed out at the us for double standards with washington defending israel after the icbc prosecutor filed for arrest warrants for top is really officials a year ago, the us supported an arrest warrant against the russian president. this is another example of double standards and a breed of american democracy. the us authorities denied the legitimacy of the i, c. c, and intimidate the structure we sanctions when it comes to the interest of washington itself. and it's all lies. however, the shamelessly use this pseudo legal tool against those whom they consider enemies, washington statements and connection with the i. c. c. c. zation suggest that is really leadership resembled the reaction of a scorpion, stung by itself or spider. entangled in his own web, for the russian criticism comes in response to emotional reactions in the united states, the state department spokesperson rejected the i c. c. appeal claiming it has no jurisdiction over this matter. how speaker mike johnson went even further saying the us may propose sanctions against the

washington _ matter since? i have been to washington and _ matter since? i have been to washington and have - matter since? t it up washington and have brought it up with the ambassador also, ambassador kennedy in australia, caroline kennedy, and we just believe that this, in the very good relationship we have at the us and we also have with the uk, this is an unnecessarily born under the saddle blanket. why are we still dealing with this issue? we have biggerfish to still dealing with this issue? we have bigger fish to fry than this? much biggerfish. this issue should have been dealt with sometime ago, now it should be dealt with, we're going to the minutiae, an issue of the first amendment of the united states of america. the question that should be asked about, this individual is not a citizen of the united states of america, not with in the united states of america when the offence was created, which is only deemed to be an offence by the united states of america. the best way to think about it is put yourself in the same shoes and what would you expect your elected representatives to do in that case? i
