amb. siddiqui: sure. certainly this comes up.till made to do work to communicate, the data is that terrorism related incidents are down 80% over the last couple of years. to low absolute numbers. at the same time, violent crime in pakistan in major cities is lower than major global emerging markets cities. we need to communicate that. it does come up. at the same time, u.s. companies are receptive. in the next ex-nine months, you will hear large u.s. companies entering pakistan. one thing i can mention is that exxon which has a lubricants business and a chemical business and cap -- in pakistan, they announced they signed a deal with the italian energy company to do an investment in a large offshore exploration block where they hope to be drilling into our deep waters for the first quarter. shery: would the coming relationships with these companies be in the oil sector, energy sector? amb. siddiqui: i think it is broad-based. energy is a major part. pakistan has a 2 million person economy. energy needs are massive. we are growing

amb.h, honestly, twitter is much more viable. two minutes on twitter several times a day, i come across stuff i did not know. it is a great way to get out messages. people in the political universe pay much more attention to twitter. facebook is something softer and lighter. although obviously when it has done and has not done has had tremendous implications for the political world. tom: you talk about breadth in your research. does technology have breadth now? jonathan: it does. you talk about facebook and google, and you take the name, they are doing the heavy lifting, but small-cap tech and mid-cap tech are working too. you have technology and health care come 40% of the s&p right now. tom: i did not know that. the two together are 40%. jonathan: yes, threats could be better, but it is a cap -weighted index. that is what is driving the bus right now. jonathan, it also shows the financial sector, if we look at earnings seasons in europe, we have heard from deutsche bank, ubs, to name a c

[applause] finally. i want to thank the person whose vision and leadership made all this possible, pastor john hagee. [applause] today people talk about the strong support for israel among devout christians, as if that support was always there. it wasn't. people sometimes act as though israel can take the support of devout christians for granted. we can't. the long history of the relationship between christians and jews is a history riddled with anti-semitism and persecution, suspicion, and distrust. this ha

[applause] amb. haley: thank you very much. thank you. [applause] amb. haley: thank you so much. and thank you to the heritage foundation. it is great to be back and i thank you so much for the work that happens in these halls. i have spent my entire public life using the power of my voice to push for action and try to help others do the same. i wasned early on that not good as sitting back and staying quiet. it's something needed to be said and done to improve the lives of people, we have to take a stand. that is what i have spent my life doing. plenty past 18 months at the united nations i have been inspired to use the power of my voice by one of my predecessors. jean kirkpatrick once said that "speech is action." important action. she did not seek out confrontation with her fellow delegates at the u.n. but did not hesitate to speak her mind and stick to her guns when american values and interests were at stake. many times that meant the ambassador found herself nearly alone. sometimes, completely alone. in the positions she would take for the united states. after 18 months in

amb. burkes: well, that's a lot of questions, the thank you. -- but thank you. we were very excited about data and the use of data, because it lets us see down to the communities. when you heard about that discussion about where pepfar was grounded in translation of science to action, we had to be able to see everything. --not just an average everything. not just an average. i call it the tyranny of averages. saying that this is how you serve everyone. when you start looking geographically and start doing tose surveys that were down the community, that is when we found everyone that we were missing. you can understand how this happened. because when pepfar started it really was an emergency to save lives. and to save parents. so, a lot of our treatment went to the very sick and we forgot, it sometimes, that you have a disease for eight to 10 years before you are sick at all. but it is finally destroying your immune system. when you think about it that way, you have to realize you had a lot

amb. fernandez: when i came here to the senate, i mention something to the effect that the u.s.-mexico relation was at a critical point. sure enough, it made some news and i was asked to confirm. i said yes, we are at a critical moment. understanding a critical moment, a point in time in which we can either have work in spite of differences, have a much more mature relationship and one that works for both sides. simple as that. we want a relation that works. or there can be a major setback in the relationship. the past year and a half have implied we are in better shape. i tend to think i have contributed to that a little along with a team in mexico and here at the avenue is the. -- and here at the embassy. i think there are people on both sides trying to do the right thing and come up with the best possible solution to the differences we have. that's helpful. i think many people in the united states for the first time have had to go out of their way to talk about the importance of the relationship. i think from a critical point of view mexico, we had slept on our laurels somewh

we brought you the breaking news yesterday after the amb went out. dwight perry heard the alert and turned himself in at a firehouse. he's locked up tonight andar d with assault. his daughter was found safe at a daycare in adelphi. is 9-year-old son was with relatives. perry's girlfriend is expected to survive. >>> president trump is at the nato summit taking a contentious tone with our closest allies. his attitude is a sharp contrast to the upbeat tone before tonight's woing dinner when a dancer floated in on balloons. president trump slaed germany, accusing it of being controlled and held captive by russia because of a natural deal. >> germany is totally controlled by russiaau becse they're getting from 60% to 70% of their energy from russia and a new pipeline. now, if you look at is a captive of russia. >> the prident's first nato summit last year now seems like a warm-up. he shelved one of the newest nato members out of his way and publicly shamed world leaders for notno spendingh on defense. blayne alexander is here to break it down fororus. >>

but i ambe right worried about it.d overconfidence does play into some people's imagination. on theo catch you up headlines, president trump tweeting that china and the european union have been manipulating currencies and interest rates lower while the u.s. is raising rates, while the dollar get stronger, taking our competitive advantage. as usual, not a level playing field. the dollar downtrend started yesterday afternoon when headlines broke that the president said he was not happy with the head raising rates -- the fed raising rates. if you have a president who does not want a stronger dollar, can bull?er be a dollar the complaint against currency manipulation is not new with trump. we heard it before and under the obama administration, there were complaints filed with the world trade organization about chinese behavior. entirely a partisan issue. the thing that is different now is that trump is bringing it out in strong terms, and angry terms. he is good at giving angry speeches and some of that is feeding into the
