i think it was easier for union soldiers to be prioritized, is that a word? give less priority to their home because it wasn't their domain. not in the way that it was for confederate soldiers. so again, we had that whole very complicated diagram about separate spheres. in the north, right, we have home and work and in the south we have the one big sphere and a kind of plantation household with a home sphere in the middle. so in other words, you know, following this notion that the home was a kind of distinct, separate sphere, where women were more or less in charge, it meant that men thought it was a secondary consideration, northern men would have said that. northern men initially did not have all of their wealth and property concentrated in their home in the same way that southern men did. right? because we know that northern men increasingly were looking outside of the home to factories, to businesses, to the marketplace, as a source of wealth. it meant that it was easier for northern meant to say, the most important thing is country, the less important t

why wouldn't it be of the utmost importance and priority that would be prioritized that to make surericans are safe as we are facing security threats? >> it's a great question, kimberly. i have been haranged in the senate about it and the staff and trying to get their attention about it. they have a lot of things going on with a lot of other issues as well. this has to be put at forefront. the employee security controls at airports needs to be beefd up significantly. some airports have way way too many access points for employees. they need to be paired down and better scrutinized when they are coming through access points. >> congressman this sounds like something that is really requiring a close and watchful eye and comprehensive reforms to make sure because if we are aware right now as we are talking about these weak spots, about these points of access that really are compromising security, i mean, something should be done about it. >> well, there is no question. look at isis. isis has turned it up a few notches to say the least with paris and with what happened at sharm el-sheikh

country and yet too infrequently i think we've seen over the years these crimes do not seem to be prioritized victims who come forward are not believed. they're not taken seriously. and unfortunately, they didn't receive justice. and because they didn't receive justice, they have felt revictimized. once they feel revictimized, we have a circumstance where there's not cooperation because there's not trust, and so we don't have successful prosecutions. so instead of reducing and curtailing the amount of crime that's taking place in homes and in our communities, we have seen just the opposite, that the crimes continue. and so i think that this guidance is very, very important and it does not come a moment too soon. in fact, i will give you an example from earlier this year. we conducted a series of summits at universities around the state of illinois and we had one member of law enforcement who said when he was at the academy that 86% of allegations of sexual assault were false. that demonstrates the incredible need and importance for this guidance. so i very, very much appreciate all of the wor

operated concurrently and have to be prioritizedurrently. and i think the questioning from the previous panel has demonstrated that. when you look at issues like kunduz with the role, for example, of arming warlords for the last decade or so there, you have warlords who had -- who have been think tanks have noted that these warlords in particular made a lot of grievances with the population due to human rights issues and in the end frankly when you're arming warlords and other elicit actors that are not strongly in the command and control of the government they are acting out on behalf themselves. if they need to switch sides retreat or retreat or whatever because it's best for them regardless of whether it's best for the good of the nation they will do so and we saw that with two key warlords in particular according to "new york times" and other reports in kunduz itself and we've seen it in other locations. we also see it in issues with the afghan national security forces themselves and the police. if the place are highly predatory

be a very high quality mandate to go after corruption after the difficulties of the previous administration. but overall, our -- we would say in the long-term that whereas the united states seems to have primarily prioritizedurity hoping they could catch up on governance later, what we find in everything from think tank studies to academic studies to experience on the ground is that governance and security have to be operated concurrently and have to be prioritized concurrently. the questioning from the previous panel has demonstrated that. when you look at issues like the role, for example, of arming war lords for the last decade or so there, you have war lords who have been -- think tanks have noted that these war lards in particular made a lot of ñ the population due to human rights issues. in the end, frankly, when you are arming them, they are acting out for themselves. they act on behalf of themselves. if they need to switch sides, retreat or whatever, because it's best for them, regardless fl whether it's best for the good of the nation, they will do so. we saw that with two key war lords in particular according to "new york times" and other reports. we have seen it in other locations. we see it in

that would look at their mission to carry out a terror attack as much more important than being a parent? prioritizing martyrdom over all other aspects of their lives. >> reporter: recent months have shown women volunteering to be suicide bombers and now active fighters as well. for "good morning america," martha raddatz, abc news, washington. >> thank you, martha. >>> back over to rob for another look at the weather. great to have you at the desk. >> it's nice to have a seat for a change. i'll get up shortly. cool video to show you. mt. etna. check it out. just off the toe of the home country there. erupting. love it! i'm -- no, come on. that is real -- that is real erupting lava. magma coming up. another beautiful shot of it. no threat at this point. just a beautiful, beautiful shot. >>> the dense fog happening in some cases, it's cold enough, below freezing, for to it be freezing fog. a freezing fog advisory for indianapolis with visibility less than a quarter of a mile. temperatures warm up. that will be the ongoing theme. temperatures well above average. in the 40s in chicago. 50s in kansas city.

might be worth prioritizing above other concerns. there are two concerns i think i've heard raised against the idea of this. the first is that it rewards a quest for parity with indy, that could set back india/u.s. relations. in terms of the deal, it potentially negate any request for material parody such as signing ctbt or restraining the tactical nuclear weapons deployment. what it would do is probably trade some degree of prestige, allowing it to be part of the same nuclear club as india. of course india's not particularly happy about this. this wouldn't have any significant increase in the material balance of power in the region. there's no reason to expect that marginal increase in prestige for pakistan would have a strategic effect. in terms of the india/u.s. relations down the road, i think the united states has proved itself deft and capable of managing relationships with rifle states. we did this with greece and turkey in nato. we've done this with japan and south korea post world war ii. we managed to maintain military line

>> we should be adults and be able to figure it out, but you can't prioritize one religion over another. they came out with guidelines for the holiday season. they said be inclusive. you want to have assembled. santa claus and frosty the snowman. >> why don't we just put a festive this poll up as well. there is a war on festive this. >> the turnabout is not fair play and the christians who have frequently complained on christmas trees and nativity scenes of been taken down for the 1st to complain about a menorah. >> hanukkah is of differing importance to different jewish families. many don't care as long as there is one up in the home.

there will be other locations that will be prioritized and so i just want to confirm that is still thederstanding that pure 27 and 80 would be a second grouping or a second-tier of facilities to be opened if the need occurred? secondly, there was a question whether the hotline would be available in case people saw some problems and cleared there would not be a hotline in general to try to do with the homeless from, but obviously something connected directly with that. we assume directly connected with the facility at the two peers. then, finally, just a question. did you give any thought to the possibility of getting some notice to immediate neighborhood when the peers were going to be open, just so they the residence and immediate neighborhood is aware of what is available and what is going on? thank you. >> thank you. any other public on? seeing none, public comment is close. perhaps before we speak if you could address good points. b2 yes. that evening president katz and commissioners. and director mark. jane curto director of operations for the government of agencies service. oh i

range capabilities that would have a dramatic effect on stability in the region, it might be worth prioritizingabove other concerns about support for nonviolent state actors. there are two concerns i've heard raised against the idea of this. the first is that it rewards a quest for parity with india. and the second is it could potentially set back india-u.s. relations. so in terms of the deal, it would potentially negate any quest for material parity because it would ask pakistan to send certainly costly signals that would be restraints in advance, such as signing ctbt or restraining the tactical nuclear weapons deployment. so those wouldn't really be advancing material parity. what it would do is probably trade some degree of prestige, allowing it to be part of the club, the same nuclear club as india. and of course india is not particularly happy about this. this wouldn't have any sort of significant increase in the material balance of power in the region. and there's no reason to expect that sort of a marginal increase in prestige for pakistan would have a major strategic effect. in terms of

answer is on us as a permanent member of the security council which means there needs to be more prioritization in the way these mandates are put in place. it is tough to prioritize because you look at a situation like that in south sudan or that in congo and what of the task that they are slated to perform would you give up? would you give up demobilization or security sector reform or human rights monitoring or tension to child soldiers? of course not. you need to make sure that the missions are right sized, maybe to do some sequencing in terms of building out those capabilities over time and the u.n. country team and our own bilateral assistance needs to be involved in strengthening state institutions. in the republic of the eastern congo, you have peacekeepers to factor performing the work of states because the states themselves are so weak. , and for allanacea of the complaints we have about you when peacekeeping, i would challenge all of us to imagine what anyone of those countries somewhat like without stabilizing presence. it will not be a cure-all as long as you state institutions that

be taking. if you can try to help us prioritize as members of congress, what are the most important things we should be doing? touching a little bit on the importance of federal law -- dr. teps connecticut has taken. i know for example with my friend and colleague, robin kelly, we have tough laws in connecticut, illinois, in california, but people just come across state lines, or they are not enforced, as you pointed out. if you can talk a bit about those priorities. federal laws for research better , enforcement to help us focus the attention of our colleagues for what we can do to best save lives. not only from mass shootings but , the every day shootings, that homicides and needless deaths that we have an obligation to address. thank you very much. >> i will take a crack at that. i think the most important thing to do, as i indicated a few minutes ago, is to extend background check requirements across the board federally. there is really no reason not to do that. 90% of the american people want that. we have evidence that it does affect diversions of guns to criminals. it will help underwrite of

five being the most severe. mass dot will prioritize the storms based on how much snow is expected to fall, how much snow is already on the ground and if temperatures will warm up causing snow melt. >> there were numerous trainings . every supervisor knows what information they need to give about the staffing plans. reporter: mass dot has created a storm desk. it is where department heads will monitor the storm and manage any changes that need to be made. >> this will be a test for us to make sure those systems work. reporter: 10 miles worth of rail on the red line have been replaced and the orange line, the heating system there, have been upgraded. big changes to prevent even bigger delays for commuters this season. live in boston, reid lamberty, wcvb, newscenter 5. phil: thanks. the eye opener will have you covered at 4:30 a.m. mike will join cindy to keep you up-to-date on the storm and the traffic conditions it produces and if you can't be in front of the tv you can still stay one step ahead of the storm with our free wcvb mobile ap

being loyal kept the prioritization of loyalty somewhere in balance. when i would take away from the rhetoric of the seven years war, the rhetoric of the american revolution, is not that some religious pacifism is appropriate, but the putting the arrants to the purpose is a processoals fraught with danger. religious actors who make those claims. mistakes were made. is it possible to learn from those mistakes? people can learn is not that they should forget about religion or public life, should be as cautious as possible about how religion is applied. >> thank you. >> excellent. >> anita jones, american historical association, retired. i am curious, and maybe this is outside the scope of what you were talking about, but if you compare the english-speaking world with the rest of europe, how different was it? there is a biblical overlay, a biblical rhetoric in the spanish empires in america. it covers top-down. i think it is a difference in the english-speaking world because of protestantism. even sometimes at the middle and lower level of society, it is
