d. c. was and how did the jury reach this figure of almost a $1000000000.00? well, you have to go back to this past summer when the judge in the case issued a summary of finding that alex jones was in fact guilty of defamation. and that's because he basically flowed at the courts rules. he did not make available his financial records and other material to comply with the conduct of the trial. so the judge found him guilty. and after 3 weeks of testimony, the jury decided that the families did not deserve the $550000000.00 that they had requested in their law suit. they decided that these families deserved much more money, $965000000.00. now what this means is, is that they will defied the funds are not equally. there's also an f b i agent who is also going to get about 10 percent or so of the money that i was awarded. but because the state of connecticut where this trial took place doesn't place a limit on the amount of punitive damages in civil law suit. that's really how the jury got to this figure. they basically said, we need to send a message. it was a ve

d. c. was cross live now to dr. jack ratner's, professor of economics and politics at st. mary's college of california, sir, is great to have you on the program today. now some us, all makers are calling saudi arabia royal back stabbers, despite the u. s. appraisingly king them as a strategic partner for years. so why do you think that the u. s. is so angry at this move now? well, you know, they're trying to blame and off shore development here with the cutting of production when they really ought to be looking their own back yard. i mean, why can't, by get american oil companies to increase the output, they just won't do it. because what the american oil companies are doing is raising prices at home to make up for this slowing of demand. well, it's the same thing that the saudis and opec are doing globally, you know, negotiate is going on right now between usa oil companies and biden, about exporting oil from the u. s. to europe. so, you know, that's gonna cause more of a supply problem. the u. s. and raise price is even more prices are going up fast, the u. s. a. partly

d. c. was a southern city in 1863. and it was that treatment that caused him to go to new york. but it's lincoln that breaks down the barrier, in terms of diplomacy and welcoming a diplomat from haiti, which would've been unfathomable before his presidency. >> in official interactions, he seems to have charmed the town. maybe not charmed the town, charmed with the people that came to state dinners and so on and so forth. he is a polyglot, a man of charming manners. >> i found an incredible letter by a woman from iowa. i shouldn't say this out loud because someone will scoop me on it, but her letters are so wonderful and i'm thinking of trying to turn them into a book, to gather them all together. i think there is enough there. excerpts have been published as an article, but i think it could be a book. she just traces washington society and she was certainly charmed with roman and his assistant. but others were not, unfortunately., so he did leave. it gives a really beautiful picture of what it was like for him, at least at this one dinner party with some other elites of the town

was telling them. we took sully with us to washington d. c., on air force one, because his next assignment was walter reed hospital. we had a problem with who was going to take care of sully during the funeral, and i said, well, let's take you him with us. so we've got permission from the air force to take him on air force one, and i was given the job of walking up air force one for some reason. and so, i walk him off air force one, and the press person at andrews air force base came running over to me and said, jean, the press wants to know -- and for a minute i just assumed she was going to say they would like to interview you. [laughter]. she said, the press wants to know if you could not be between sully and the cameras. [laughter]. because you are blocking sully. [laughter]. it was a humbling moment. [laughter]. but sully has an instagram account. he has 5000 followers. and i'm one. [laughter]. i follow a dog. but that, anital thanks. but that and bob dole are possibly the two iconic photos that came out of president bush's funeral. >> j

d. c.. it wason judges and lawmakers and law enforcement officials and eight cities that day. on march 1st, 1950, for an attack in the u. s. house of representatives. >> in washington d. c., violence erupted in the halls of congress. three men and a woman believed to be members of the puerto rican nationalist gang that in november 1950 attempted the assassination of president truman, open fired from the visitors gallery of the house of representatives. five congressman were hit. >> the four people arrested in that shooting reportedly connections to wanted the shooting to draw tension to their call from the u. s.. and then there were of course the assassination attempts against u. s. presidents. the bombs, and pots to kidnap, or kill abraham lincoln. the man who want to -- and blew himself and jon kennedy up in palm beach florida. he told reporters he wanted to kill the president because of quote, the underhanded way that he was elected. and yes, we know the later attempts on the lies of president l

d. c. and was pretty strong, was from by not pulling any punches against the oil and gas companies and just a week out from midterm elections. well, in the context of next week's mid term elections, certainly the president is using what we call the power of his bully pulpit. to try to communicate to us voters that he is very much aware of the hardships that they have been enduring. not just because of the post war our economic situation. but certainly because of the global oil shortages that developed after russia invaded ukraine back on february 24th, a very simply, if the amount of of supply goes down, the price goes up, assuming that everyone who wanted something before still wants it. so this is something that the bind administration has been trying to address in the past, i 8 months or so. now, of course, even though the price of gasoline has dropped from an average high of about $5.00 or so to about $3.75, people are still concerned about the price of gas. it's sort of the bell whether figure

d. c. kimberly, what was the reaction to this in court there? well, the reaction from a number of the victims families was shock and disbelief. there was really a feeling of disappointment from many family members who had hoped that nicholas cruz would receive the death penalty and when it was clear that the jury was recommending life without parole for nicholas cruz. there was enormous disappointment. some of the family members have reacted saying that they believe this is now almost a lack of a deterrent for others to commit similar mass murders and that other people may even be encouraged. as a result of this recommendation by the jury, we should point out though that this is not yet a sort of a done deal. there is still the sentencing to take place on november 1st, but this recommendation is heavily taken into consideration by the judge when that occurs. now, just to give you some context, this was a trial that took place over a number of weeks, 12 were proximately. and throughout this, the prosecution made the case that this was a premedita

d. c. because this. busy was a deal that was broken by the international community. united nations was involved as well. mike, any reaction from them will as yet no formal reaction from the united nations. but what we do know is that the russian ambassador says the u. n. has been formally informed of the fact that russia is walking away from the steel. the ambassador is also called for an urgent security council meeting on monday to discuss the whole matter. well, it's not clear whether this will happen. there are a number of meeting scheduled on monday already. it will be up to the current chair of the security council or gabon to decide whether or not to let this meeting go ahead. otherwise, it will be governor, which is taking over the security council from the 1st of next month. but it's important to note that the secretary general was already rating raising red flags in the past 24 hours. antonio terrace has said that all parties must abide by the steel which was due to expire on november the 19th. but he also said importantly, that western nations in particular

nancy pelosi was in washington. d. c, 42 year old suspect has been charged with attempted homicide. was too much violence, political violence, too much hatred. you might read through all and what makes us think the one point can talk about stall elections. covered being a hoax does all by july and not affect people who may not be so well balanced. what makes us think that it's not going to corrode, but political climate, enough is enough, is enough. every person of good conscience needs to clearly and unambiguously. stand up against violence in our policy regardless what your politics are. brazil's president j able snyder and his challenger, louis and i still do. the da silva have gone head to head and a final debate for sunday's run of opinion polls give lou that a slight lead in a run up to the votes. bull scenario has suggested that the electoral system is vulnerable to fraud. at least 45 people have been killed as tropical storm now, gay lashes. the philippines is bringing heavy rains and strong winds to large parts of the country. the government says the number of casualties is

was about? >> in 1962 nixon had come back from washington, d. c., where he was -- and he decided to run against pat brown. and the campaign headquarters were on the boulevard, and we were told that we all need to assemble on a given day and i think it was in august of 72 -- of 62 -- and in came mr. nixon. the thing about it, it's interesting to me, the congressman, vice president, he had about him this mystique. the former president and vice president. he came, and he went around and greeted all of the staff and shook hands and asked questions. i like to think out that there was one man standing there talking to him, and he ended up being the mayor of san diego, congressman, senator, governor of the state of california -- pete wilson. and he was with us that day. >> that was sort of just a grip and grin with nixon at that point. it was because also there was bob haldiman at j. walter thompson. he introduced you to the circle. and it tells a lot about richard nixon's personality. >> i always had to have a summer job. my parents insisted on it. and

nancy was nancy and indeed that his intention was to tie up, pull pelosi and then wait for nancy pelosi derive. not nancy places, in fact, in washington d. c. which is why there was no enhanced security at the very least that wasn't b u. s. capital police security detail who accompany nancy pelosi, 24 hours a day. that is, that is a security level that is only afforded to the leaders in congress in the senate and the house, or if there are specific threats which are of particular concern. so mr. police see that i would have just have, you know, the normal, all the security arrangements that the households do tend to have and maybe some enhanced ones were not entirely sure. in fact, we were told by the police, the police were alerted that they needed to have a priority wellbeing. check out the household, but they haven't told us what alerted them but, but, but that's why there was no extra security detail out the house at the time. she had of course, we know, of course the police investigations of the way, but do you get the sense the prominent political players are more at risk in today's fever, our political climate in the us. russell, th

d. c, p. the party constitution was at the, at the press conference yesterday with bar did that, the revision that shrine the practices and theories all the national, all brands. so you know, d, c, pc false due to the high, highest the binding document and for the, for the party. it offers a view of trying to feel to reflect the major changes to leadership and the dollars . so i will on how these very important documents will be amended in the couple of days. so, and also, you know, issues, coal, both domestic and international concerns with the topic is ranging box china, the anti corruption campaign already in the be asian. and the relations with the united states, as well as how china will contribute in the future to the global numbers, will also be closed, closely monitored during the session in a thinly veiled condemnation of us actions president, she also emphasized that china condemns taiwanese separatism. and the foreign interference stands behind it. well, i mean she's, she's that we put, for was the one concert to systems overall policy to resolve the taiwan issue in the new era. chi

cooling off violence classes between the democratic republic of congo was military and the m 23 levels has risen again. the d. r. c and rwanda have had strained relations since the 1994 genocide, which saw squaws of people cross the border into the d r. c. all the while the french government was supplying weapons to the region. in such countries, genocide is not too important. and just to round off the wave of negative sentiments to what's the west africa, a major wisdom power says that africans must be prepared to die for their democracy . democracy can only be defended by people themselves if they're actually prepared to die for their democracy. liberal a day, a good day flip any day is part of french, national heritage and immortal the country is proud to ascribe to. but here in africa, both the action and in action of france stand against those very same values. and for a growing number of former colonies and african states of war, philosophy seems a more appropriate phrase cannibal is ada. for oddity in johannesburg was in defense minister. so gay shirley, who has warned that he may use a dirty bomb and a fal

was the deadliest conflict as we understand since the 2nd world war. and our fears arising again in that region after intense fighting, recently, abrupt between d. r. c. national forces, and the m 23 militant group report lay aligned with neighboring rwanda. anew gander was one of the developments and a little bit of a historical background. his or africa correspondent could bowl attachment as a background to this story. on the 8th. and the 9th of may, this year, the militia groups around the d. r. c. a got together to decide and forming non aggression pact. but that meeting was peppered with some of the comalies military senior generals. and that has led to allegations being made especially by human rights watch that the communities government is essentially aiding in the abuses that we see around the civilian population. the sexual abuses that have been met at out on the women in the, in the country. and also, you know, texting people illegally, there's reports that people have to support the frontline of these different militia groups depending on where you live, of course. but they go as far as giving kettle, go as far as giving food to these peo

he was westerner hula -- his entire life until he left springfield for washington d. c.. he was born, raised, and lived in the west he look to the west. on his last day obviously he didn't know it be hbcus's last day even if stephen spielberg did. he talked of the west with mary lincoln. he talked of the west with skyler cold facts, the speaker of the house who is about to go west. he was indeed thinking of the west not in the way he should have, but perhaps in the only way he could have at the time. we all al-ata elliott west for his article the greater reconstruction, to heather for west from appomattox, there's a growing list of wonderful scholarship on the west that i'll mention here, partly for the benefit of k-12 teachers. kevin waits, west of slavery, ghana matthews the golden state and civil, where meghan kate nelson, the three cornered war, which was a finalist for the pulitzer. stephen kantrowitz is, pending work on-chunk citizenship. a lot of people are studying the west in the civil war area, a lot can learn from comparison, what happened involving native ameri

she was in washington, d. c when this all happened, but law enforcement sources told the associated press that do pepe went into the home shouting. where's nancy? somehow police were notified about the break in within minutes. we don't know how whether it was a security alarm that alerted police or someone inside the home that called them but police arrived within minutes of the attack, and here's wha police chief bill scott says happened to next. our officers observed miss pelosi and the suspect, both holding a hammer. the suspect pulled the hammer away from miss pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. our officers immediately tackled the suspect disarmed him took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid. suspect has been identified. police did not answer any questions. after this very short briefing this morning , the chief only spoke for a few minutes. the motive for this attack is still being determined. but police say this was not random that the suspect in this case i knew

and across the top of the matrix was a, b, c, d, e and down the side was a afl, q, v and so to tap a letter you would tap it's row first though let's say we're doing b. first row, second column, c first row, third column g is second row, second column you're at me like there's no way people could actually like this, but they did and it took a long time. but guess what? they had nothing but time on their hands. and so people would say the hanoi hilton sounded like a den of woodpeckers because the american p.o.w.s would be on the wall. that's what they called it. get on the wall and tap out all sorts of messages. and i like to think that maybe it's my generation that pioneered text messaging abbreviations. but no, no, no. these p.o.w.s sending gm for good morning and gm for good night long before anybody ever thought of cell phone. so it was an incredible way to communicate and to keep, you know, to each other positive, keep each other in the loop, keep you, keep other part of a fighting unit. and so they're the american p.o.w. who are communicating as best they could and trying their n

d. c. a. i guess was in may. the greek prime minister would not lobby against a pending agreement for turkey to buy more. u. s. f. 16 fighter jets from, from the united states. and it turns out, while the prime minister was there in washington, he did lobby against the agreement. and so that got arrow on really angry. and he made some belligerent statement saying a prime minister, mitchell talk is no longer exists for me. while since then, greece has placed some weapons or military equipment, i should say, not weapons on some islands in e g. and see that under international agreement are not supposed to have military equipment on them. and so then our, our to one has counter that with these threatening statements about how jerky has such a bigger military. and, you know, greece couldn't withstand the turkish military. so we're getting an onto a, a dangerous escalator re latter in term in terms of rhetoric. and i think it really is time for somebody to step in as a neutral arbiter. it's difficult for the european
