virgin atlantic? for their very survival, they have to say i would recommend you fly british airways/american airlines because they've got to get up to that 80% of the market share next year. so it goes on. so american and british are driving out the remnants of the competition. i mean, it is preposterous that competition authorities can even consider allowing these two airlines to merge. i mentioned coke and pepsi. who would imagine coke and pepsi being allowed to merge? it's the exact equivalent if you look at their market share. it is preposterous that it can be allowed but the frightening thing in america is that it can be done on political reasons. it doesn't necessarily have to be done on pure analytical competition reasons. this is going to go to the department of transportation, not necessarily the department of justice, which would look at something like this on strict competition reasons and policy can play a part and that worries us. that's why i've come here today to really appeal to the d

a year later he set another record crossing the atlantic in his virgin atlantic flyer. not only the first hot air balloon to cross the atlantic, but also the largest ever at 2.3 million cubic feet. clearly, this is a man who likes challenge, whether it's in business or in sport. and while many would be satisfied after being knighted by the queen of england for services to entrepreneurship, he has not. sir richard branson, founder of a pint sized record business in 1970 now rules an empire that rivals the gross domestic product of many small countries. whether it is virgin cola, investing in alternative green technologies, space tourism, or running one of the hippest airlines in the sky, he has been. and although the european press has skewered him for having lost and i worked water and 1.5 billion pounds in the last year or 171,000 british pounds an hour, he continues to be optimistic. who in this room would promise all of his or her airline profit, if you actually own an airline, to the breakthrough discovery of an alternative fuel for the airline industry. only one pe

the mission of the atlantic council's renewing the atlantic community for 21st century global challenges. it's why we've had a long successful asian program for many years directed by ban and garrett. recently opened up a south asian center and our launching a center for atlantic african partnership. this evening is under the international security program of the director damon wilson. and there's the reality. take a look at the situation now. nato reaching out to develop its global partnerships with japan, australia, south korea. asian powers playing a key role in stabilizing afghanistan. the u.s. and e.u. working together to engage china and india on global climate change. the g20 bringing together key asian and european partners to address the global financial crisis. north korea -- i don't have to say much about the. security developments in the pacific such as the development of long-range ballistic missiles impact the debate on missiles in europe. i think this link has been apparent since the u.s. entered world war ii in europe after the attack in the pacific so, admiral, the atlan

it is the flagship program for the atlantic council. i want to thank saab, a.b., and the board member of the atlantic canceled for their support of this series. i am also delighted with the turnout today which says a lot as well about the popularity of this. admiral, i have to mention one thing. some people ask me, why is the atlantic council floating its boat in the pacific? the answer is pretty simple, it is a matter of history, michigan, and reality. before the war, there was a famous ambassador by the name of hugh alexis johnson, a legendary ambassador to japan. he was one of the founders, and he and dean atchison were very clear that the world is round and the atlantic off the right to recognize that much earlier than most trans-atlantic organizations. so that is the history. number two, there is the mission of renewing the atlantic community for 21st century global challenges. it is what we have long had a successful asia program for many years. recently opened up a south asia center and are launching a center for partnership. thi

system was of course, the north atlantic. you ever controlled the north atlantic controlled europe's access to the world whoever controlled europe's access to the world could shape the empire and of course, over hundreds of years spaniards dutch and british fought for control. of the north atlantic but in 1980 an extraordinary event happened in human history for the first time ever trans-pacific trade equaled transatlantic trade is somewhere around 1980. it is hard to pinpoint but that was an extraordinary event that we all experience but think what it means for it means at that point* not only was europe no longer the pivot of the global system, nor was the north atlantic by itself the key to global power. there were two keys, the atlantic and in the pacific. therefore by definition any power that was made by both bodies of water was in an extraordinary position in particular if it had the wherewithal to exploit that. south america for reasons i will not go into a comic can let looks like one continent's but it really is not

this man is a pillar of the atlantic council. he provides me and the rest of our leadership strategic advice as well as sound legal advice. i am still free and have not yet been incarcerated because of this advice. i am grateful for your service, walt. [applause] [applause] >> thank you. it is a great honor to be asked to introduce that roe keating. he has that kind of resume that mere mortals only dream of. he graduated from the naval academy in 1971. shortly thereafter, began a distinguished career as a legal aviator. the most impressive thing is not the stress on his sleeve or the stars, if he were wearing a slightly different uniform, but it is that he is carried out 1200 arrested landings on aircraft carriers. he was the did the commander in thewing during the first gulf war, and he was the commander during visiting gulf war. in between, like all senior military officers, he has to do the additional penance, working in washington and a variety of jobs. i have had the honor and pleasure of working with him when he was the dep

we got through the atlantic wall. not very far. the british were supposed to get to cannes on d-day. they didn't get there until july, but they got through the atlantic wall. the americans at omaha were supposed to get seven or eight kilometers inland. they got less than a kilometer inland, but they got through the atlantic wall. germany put such a tremendous effort into the thing, and it didn't hold up the allies for even a morning. we paid a price, 10,000 casualties, but we got through. c-span: how did you decide what went into this book? was it hard? >> guest: i sat down with the transcripts of all 1,300 interviews and read them through. c-span: how many pages? >> guest: some of them 50 pages, some of them only 10. the average would be 20 pages. c-span: you read them all. >> guest: i read them all through, and in that first serious read-through -- because i had been collecting them and reading them as i went along -- at that first serious read-through i put maybe half of them aside. what i was looking for was phraseology or anec

it really did turn on getting ashore and penetrating that atlantic wall. now, once that atlantic wall was penetrated and we had a beachhead and you could begin to move from england into the continent, this tremendous outpouring of america's factories that we had managed to get over to england by winning the battle of the atlantic in 1943, if you penetrated the atlantic wall then it was no longer a question of who was going to win. it was when is the end going to come. germany could not possibly prevail against -- but if rommel stopped them cold on the beaches -- this was an all-or-nothing operation. eisenhower, when he took command in january of 1944, said, "this operation is being planned as a success. there are no contingency plans." had they stopped him -- and they came very close to stopping him -- we would not have been able to mount another operation in 1944. this was hitler's great chance to win the war -- stop them in june of 1944 on the atlantic coast, then he can move 11 panzer divisions to the east. eleven panzer divisions might well have swung

what only recently have become main, threatened to confine the great american experiment to the atlantic seaboard. the allegiance of the several new trans- montaigne state was unproven, their settlers looked westbound rolling river valleys for the mighty mississippi, not over their shoulders at the mountains that separated them from their political creators. former vice president aaron burr's enigmatic conspiracy of 1805, 1806 to make a nation for himself and others in the region opened by the louisiana purchase had come apart but illustrated the limited control exerted by the east over the last. of the national government over its unsettled territory. a continental nation was so uncertain that president thomas jefferson had deemed it optional quote whether we remain in one confederacy or form into atlantic and mississippi confederacies i believe not very important to the happiness of either part. but coming of the steamboat in 18078 hope for a connectedness but illustrated the lack of it. so they were both on the hudson and mississippi rivers but no true navigation between them. the war

so much of the progress that would define the 20 sentry on both sides of the atlantic came down to a battle for a slice of beach only 6 miles long and 2 miles wide. more particularly, it came down to the men who landed here, those who now rest in this place for eternity, and those who were with us here today. perhaps more than any other reason, you, the veterans of that landing, or why we still remember what happened on d-day. you are what we keep coming back. you remind us that in the end, human destiny is not determined by forces beyond our control. you remind us that our future is not shaped by mere chance or circumstance. our history has always been the sum total of the choices made and the actions taken by each individual man and woman. it has always been up to us. you could have done what hitler believed he would do when you arrived here. in the face of a merciless assault from these cliffs, you could have idled the boats offshore, met a garage of tracer bullets that split the night sky -- and mirage of bullets. you could have hidden in the hedgerows or waited behind the sea wa

who will be those incorporating antibody in the trans-atlantic partnership? i think the teetwenty is a very format interesting because it denies the gang5 any emerging economies and i also think that the united states of america and europe ought to be driving and the ones who give this process momentum and commits others to join in. we now have a unique chance with a new administration in the united states looking at a loss of a conflict which were also on the edge of this and previous administrations. i often talked about this with george bush to give an impetus to a number of matters. it was with great interest in gratification i was able to see president obama was pushing open the doors and forging ahead in many areas in the middle east conflict, afghanistan, iran and unmentioned other areas, mentioning for example economic issue but also climate change. so he is trying to open up new perspectives, and use and new opportunities and tried to bring about solutions. i have vital interest in seeing this policy being crowned by success, making progress because

during the years of the conquest, thousands of them were shipped across the atlantic.e than of half died on the way. sometimes when rations ran low, they were killed for food. sometimes the ship sank in hurricanes taking the horses to a howing and watery grave, along with slaves who had been kidnapped to africa and kind to one another in the ship' galleys. often the ships were the calm midway between 30 to 35 degrees north and south of the equator, the barometric pressure often increased and the hot dry breezes called the westerlies stopped blowing the procession of proud owe defiant galleons would come to a halt. their massive sails limp in the blistering sun and the cargo, man an animal alike, slowly going mad. at that point, it was time to lighten the load. the horses were removed from their slings and taken above deck. at long last, they saw light and could move freely. although they were still hobbled by their weak legs, and they probably faltered as the conquistadors urged them to the gangplank. perhaps as they faltered, they took in the periphery and gazed acros

the russians are going to be on the atlantic ocean. d-d d-day, june 6, 1944, the war had been going on for several years and most americans don't know the barbarossa. that was the story of the russian efforts in world war ii. . without a doubt. but nobody talks about that. you know, we went in in north africa and then mired down in italy, and it's just not -- the facts aren't given. basically, the russians had already defeated the germans. >> thanks for your call. tell us a little more about that. >> first, i'd like to thank john for his service and for calling in. i think that's made the show today. i'm really pleased to hear from them. now, as to the question or comment that we just had, i would take issue with this caller. if the germans had been defeated by the summer of 1944, then they would have been defeated. in other words, if it was over the soviets would have been in berlin and they would not have wanted the normandy invasion to occur. what the evidence shows is that all the way up into the invasion, stalin was lobbying for t

they said he was going to atlantic city and he lost a significant amount of money and therefore he had to steal from a charity he had created and that we needed money. during the first day of the court proceedings, the government abandoned its theories because they checked his losses but not his winnings. the judge allowed testimony to be submitted to the jury even though it was recanted during the trial and the record proves it was false. one of my father's colleagues senator nady ne thomas stated my father held up a very important bill with grady hospital, a federal-funded hospital. when she came to trial, she said it never occurred. she thought it had occurred. she looked up on the internet. he was never even a part of it. still yet, he was charged, and it went to the jury. perjured testimony documented. there were 142 count which is altogether represented five charges. listen to the charges. 98% of the things the initial article in the "atlanta constitution" which the government said prompted the investigation never made it through the grand jury. they said he stole proceeds from h

i rise today to draw attention to an event that is going on across the atlantic ocean and how it impacts thousands of good-paying family-wage jobs right here in the united states. madam president, as some of my colleagues know, the paris air show kicked off this week. the air show showcases many impressive displays of aviation, technology, and innovation. but there's something else that's going to be on display at this year's air show: the fruits of some 30-plus years of direct cash advances and illegal subsidies to the european aerospace company airbecause. foairbus, the european government who created airbus to specifically compete with the united states have aggressively funded, protected, and promoted their venture. since 1969, the european governments of france, germany, spain, and u.k., have supported airbus' commercial aircraft development with over $15 billion in launch aid. those are high-risk loans at no or low interest with repayment contingent on the commercial success of the aircraft. now, according to the ustr the amount of launch aid airbus has received during the lifetime

that sensibility does seem to unite people in the arab world from the atlantic to the gulf when it comes to issues like iraq and palestine. host: we are monitoring aljazeera now. is this what most of the world is now seeing? this is what we are getting right now? is there one version around the world or is it different here in united states? guest: what we are seeing here is international aljazeera. there are obviously two strands. there is one in arabic which is broadcast on satellite and you can see whether you have -- where you have set alight in any part of the world. you have aljazeera english which is broadcast on cable and it is still trying to put itself on cable on a large scale here in united states. incidentally, if i may do it quick and fort up as your english, as joof july 1, it will be on cable in the washington, d.c., area. these are two different strands. in many ways they represent two slightly different perspectives on the world. out the serb -- aljazeera arabic is catering to a specifically arab audience. in the middle east and elsewhere. al jazeera english has a broad

[laughter] >> so perhaps he can tell us which side got it right in ikthal. [laughter] >> in my personal view, the court messed up the federal rules. justice breyer dissented separately in ikthal to underscore a key point the circuit had made. when a government defendant asserts qualified immunity, the trial court responsible for managing the case constructs a discovery in ways that diminish the risk of imposing unwarranted burdens on high-level officials. on june 8th, the court broke the string of reversals by affirming the second circuit twice in boyle v. the united states we held 7-2 that an association in fact enterprise under ricoh requires no organizational structure beyond the defendant's predicate acts, and in uni

the british to get here had to make an atlantic crossing, and one of the british soldiers wrote in his journal of the crossing which sounds like a horrid crossing, that he experienced it was continued distraction in the four tops, the pox above board, the plague below deck, the hell at the fore castle, and the devil at the helm. a british soldier who was sent to south carolina to campaign, to take charleston in 1780 was landed with the british army about 20 miles below charleston, and had to move through swamps and marshes areas. and you can almost feel this grim, white faced british soldier as he writes in his journal about seeing crocodiles 16 feet long, as he put it, wools in several species of venomous snakes. the revolutionary war was not just a revolutionary war, but it was also a civil war within a civil war. and what i mean by that is that it was a war waged by anglo-american colonists against the british mother country, within that conflict there was a struggle between colonists who supported the revolution and colonists who continued to remain loyal to great britain. john ada

the european orientation and nato relationship make it a bridge of stability between the euro atlantic committee and the nations of central asia and the arabian gulf. how would you describe our relationship with turkey today? >> thank you. although i am definitely greek, my father -- my grandfather was born in turkey and he came through grease on his weight to the united states. i think i have a cultural understanding of both of those nations. turkey is a very important friend and ally to the united states. i would categorize our relationship at the moment it is a strong relationship. we are conducting a great deal of information and intelligence sharing. we recognize the threat to turkey post that the kurdish separatist movements, and i believe it is an important as strong relationship and one i intend to focus on is confirmed. >> general mcchrystal,

thing about the -- it starts out weekly, and by the end of the season, it's as good as the south atlantiche roster changing daily. >> let's go back to your first year at aberdeen when you had a chance to work with jim johnson. that sinker is look unhit-abl. did you have a lot to do with that? >> i had him and frederick, avenues he was always a sinker baller, but he wasn't throwing 97, he wasn't through 95. and the last year when they lengthened his side, he picked up the extra velocity. man, now he's throwing three r four miles harder. i decided to he throw slower, but they throw harder. >> the whole idea of a player development, in particular with pitchers is fascinating, if you look how the organization is structured, you have dave schmidt, who is the overall pitching coordinator for all the minor leagues, he makes sure e policy stays in place, and the various pitching coaches. the last couple of years, the orioles have elected to send you to aberdeen to get the guys as they are exposed to professiol ll. how much of an influence can you have and
