in 1990 at the old, big firestone headquarters, the big building there in akron. discussions focused on what to do next. would you have to deal with charles taylor? could you do that? there was tremendous worry about the safety of their employees, most particularly the 8,000, 9,000, 10,000 liberians that they employed. so how can we help these people? what do we do next? so it was a real dilemma for the company, and a lot of, i would say, soul-searching and really tough, tough decision-making that had to be done. >> narrator: much of what we know from the era comes from corporate records that until now were buried in a long-forgotten court file and hundreds of state department cables obtained through the freedom of information act. one of the earliest documents we found was a letter signed by donald ensminger on october 3, 1990. it's addressed to commander in chief charles taylor, requesting a meeting. the second one, sent a week later: >> "all sides need to recognize that firestone continues to incur major losses as a result of hostilities." >> narrator: then, th

the party's name is an akron ym translating to the coalition of the radical left.e you get past of the label and look at the policies, are they this radical. the consensus in the news media, corporate owned, is that harsh brutal austerity measures are something that greeks must live with syriza has been chipping away at that. there was no mere charm offensive by the foreign minister. he was out to subvert financial doctrines and dress codes and dealt out sound bytes slamming into the wall conventional thinking, particularly in germany, where the debate may be won or lost. our change is not a date line, it's a news maker, the academic, politician about to teach europe a thing or two about economics. >> hello. >> reporter: at the risk of starting with a point that may seem drivial, but -- trivial, but isn't, when is the last time finance and debt stories were watched featuring i.m.f., default, restructuring, in which a principal, the greek finance minister is not wearing a tie or suit, let alone pin stripes. >> he has a distinct approach to this whole thing, by showi

akron, ohio. 2:00 p.m. simon fulmer and his girlfriend are heading to a store when they cross paths with an aggressive driver in a school zone. >> there was a purple truck that was following us, and she got pretty upset when i slowed down to 20 miles an hour. so i changed lanes. and she changed lanes. so i changed lanes again to get out of her way. and i think she thought that i was trying to block her from going around. >> fulmer says he isn't deliberately provoking the woman, but she's clearly upset and becomes more aggressive. >> she came to the side of the car, again, and threw a cup at the car. that's when i told my girlfriend, you know, call the police and tell them that there's a pretty serious person on the road with some road rage. >> akron police and fire. >> there is a dodge truck. it is purple. they just threw a drinking glass out of their car at my car. >> his girlfriend is on the phone and fulmer records the woman's next move with his cell phone. though police say you really shouldn't record a

his first jobs were in akron and cleveland provincial centers along the railroad which connected to thein the other. warren, at that time, just after the turn of the century, when crane lived here, was a thriving thriving community a thriving industrial area. when you read in the poem where he is giving the slogans that he would pass or advertising that he would see in passing he mentions the erie railroad. that was the railroad that was behind his father's cannery. ahd he mentions mazda. well, mazda was a local firm right here in warren, ohio. it was the area where more light bulbs were manufactured, for example, than any other part of the united states. he was born in garrettsville, ohio in portage county, a small town. and something that incidentally has remained constant in crane's environment no matter where he lived it seemed, was the presence of water, the presence of some hills nearby-- things that we'd think of as being typically rural. crane, at times when he was estranged from his father, did not give his father much credit for being anything more than just a candy manufactur

also known by the akron in daesh. >> we targeted daesh, where they sleep and eat and successfully destroyed more than 19 targets. after that, the war against daesh will continue. we are determining to achieve the objectives of the war. and not only to degrade daesh capabilities, we'll destroy daesh. the u.s. coalition conducted 7500 missions since the air strikes began. jordan participated in almost 20% of the fights and the military estimates it killed more than 7,000 i.s.i.l. fighters. a jordanian campaign received support from regional and international allies. the united arab emirates is sending a squadron of jets. the u.k. is sending troops in an advisory role. some argue the campaign needs to be ratcheted up to be effective against a group controlling vast territory. >> the whole campaign is too slows, too little very constrained sort of thing. we need to open up and increase the aid, like 600, 800 per day. jordan need the logistic support, the spare parts, you need airplanes and ask for, you know rpvs remote - you know the vehicles but we didn't get it the predator. we didn't get it

host: we will go on to kevin in akron, ohio. good morning. caller: good morning. thanks for taking my call. i'm just amazed at the republicans' view on the free market and insurance. there is a free market, and it won't change. the problem is they are just upset at the obamacare. the affordable care act just allows people to be able to afford health care and doesn't allow the people providing it to strip -- to make it so high that you can't afford it. this just helps the market because more people are buying insurance, and republicans don't like it. guest: i disagree. one, i disagree that this is just about obama. it is certainly, during the clinton era, republicans opposed expanding health insurance through the government. republicans and conservatives disagree with the federal government controlling health insurance. so, if you have a problem with that, that is fine, but i don't think it is consistent to just say it is about obama. on the point of obamacare making insurance more affordable, i have to heartily disagree. obamacare does a lot of things that increas

host: paul, akron, ohio. good morning.aller: i was having a question if either one of these people -- there's a budget set up to the senate. why is it more important to protect illegal aliens than innocent americans by not going ahead and passing a budget and stopping the executive action of the president? guest: he is referring to the dhs funding bill. the house passed a bill that would fully fund dhs, but not allow the funds to be used for the immigration action. some people say that was an inappropriate place to put it, but this action was a result of 10 memos. it is a perfectly reasonable place to adjusted -- to address it. they do not want to have a debate on the bill. they do not want to bring it up for a vote. they believe that making sure illegal immigrants can stay in the country is more important than funding dhs. now, we are talking about a program that is popular and has been stopped by the court. host: for those opposed to this, does the action to stop this take the pressure off those republicans in congress f

james in akron ohio, on our line for democrats, what do you think? caller: well, the budget is fine, but he was something that people don't seem to remember or think about the total income of the federal government in 1950 isn't even half of what it is today. that is the first thing. and all these people that are complaining about the taxes and stuff, their income hasn't went up. when the percentage of their income would have to be greater in order to feel the needs of the country. here is one other thing, too. we talk about middle-class. we don't have a middle-class today could we have middle income. the middle class should be making over $100,000 a year. the vast majority of the people who call in here don't make $50,000. we better start thinking about this. we have to get the money from somewhere and it can only come from people who have it, the people up top who haven't been paying the taxes, and the poor people taxes have been going up, people on social security, their income has been going down. if you look at the minimum wage from 1950 in the
