end of the day it is also the desire of the population there, that they have developed and democratic societyturn to the winter olympics. russia could still be barred from competing in the winter olympics in pyeongchang in february. the world anti—doping agency, that's wada, said the country had not done enough to address allegations of widespread cheating. wada says it's currently maintaining a suspension, which was put in place when a report accused russia of systematic, state—sponsored doping. wada president, sir craig reedie, explains this decision. they have come a very long way. we have given them permission to start testing. they are doing effective testing, trained in anti—doping control officers, however because of the nature of the accusations against them part of the road map contains two particular conditions they have not fulfilled, firstly to acknowledge the report from richard mclaren, indicating the people that we re mclaren, indicating the people that were involved, and secondly, we would like to have access to the moscow laboratory to look at the samples and the electronic r

the wider picture, again so many people thinking how best to remain a reasonably open and democratic societypeople safe as possible from terror attacks. we have seen a number of these attacks taking place by lone wolf taking place without seemingly much support from other groups. we have seen it in london, france, spain and now we are seeing it once again in new york city. one passerby put it this way, he said it is becoming really familiar. for the moment, thank you very much indeed. jack thomas tomarchio is a former deputy assistant secretary for homeland security. he told us this looks similar to other recent attacks around the world. the thing that's interesting about this is both al-qaeda and isis — al-qaeda in yemen, the al-qaeda affiliate in yemrn — and isis have both put out directives or communiques to followers that, if you're not able to come to the middle east to engage inajihad, then you should work in your own countries, and both have pointed out that one way to commit terrorist acts in a home country would be to use a vehicle is a deadly weapon and we have now seen about 11 or

it's also built in hope for democratic society. the cornerstone was placed by marquis de lafayette. it's a monument to the first revolutionary battle that was staged in hope to create a world with rights, and the right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. >> hinojosa: and one of the things that you focused on in your work, there are two groups of people who you have focused on in your work that are really, really fascinating. one of them is immigrants, immigrants without a voice, and the other one is the homeless. >> and veterans. >> hinojosa: and veterans. so let's talk a little bit about the work with immigrants. you have... >> they are called the alien staff. >> hinojosa: the alien staff. >> yes. >> hinojosa: which i remember when i first saw it i was like, "what is this?" it's essentially a staff that has... it's carrying... >> it's like a walking stick. >> hinojosa: it's a walking stick. >> it's got a certain symbolic power, like, that's why it's called staff. >> hinojosa: and it's got their memories, it's got their passport, it's got their papers? >> it has plexiglass conta

i see journalism more as a mission than exactly a profession it's the oxygen of a democratic society or i just can't do. anything else with my life be a good journalist we know that in order for democracy to work citizens have to be informed they have to know what is being done in their name they have to know if the two towns over there are starting to frack in the oil wells and that might affect your drinking water my grades were always near the bottom of the class except in one thing my curiosity was on bounded my curiosity was intense it was it was incessant people are interesting and if you're the kind of person who's interested in people then journalism is a great job for you when journalists come to us it's generally to complain that they're not being allowed to be the kind of journalist that they want to be. i didn't know what else to do would be a journalist. journalists and newspapers now face a serious existential crisis. many reporters are worried about the future of their profession there are a lot fewer jobs for journalists these days. we're looking for one hundred. peop

you can extrapolate that beyond the civil war to the general way to have an engagement in a democratic society with the use of force in the you have that perspective with a way to imagine in the warfare of military action in that is appropriate?. >> with that distinction nobody likes to say they are unnecessary because it is a trace but but wondering if you are getting involved in somebody else's quarrel. so every time we ally has a problem there is a question if you get involved but there is always a question mark if we don't what implication is that for our allies? so you can see there is stuff going on but in the past the state department that is the bread-and-butter sir there is discretion floor holding back. so with that criteria, i would say with the chicago speech which vice texas if are we sure of our case? with diplomacy to be exhausted with the military there are possible things that we can do or number five is the denial of national interest. and then to pass on public opinion. with those problems of going to work. and then we create special issues. but that consideration there are

well it seems to me that we live in a free and democratic society and of course anybody who under the law wishes to set up whatever organization they wish to set top has absolutely the right to do so so perfectly free to such a group or however my question would be that when you're talking about what should be widely supported i think frankly we should be thinking an awful lot more about the victims of isis other than of the of the families of those who have committed those atrocities so i suppose my view on this is that it is fine for them to do it but to suggest that one this is science should play a massive role in supporting that i think would be the wrong. delhi what is your thoughts on that particular aspect of resources going to this there will be those of course you say family members would have no in their relatives left to fight for what's essentially a death cult some of them anyway why should they be held by a charity. i think it's important to understand that family members of also victims to some degree unless they were holding some kind of sensitive information that wil

the country it's only one country lebanon is a sovereign country and like the lebanon is a democratic society we have connection with the rest of the wall. probably our connection was almost one hundred and ninety country we have a trade with all countries around the world we have respect among a lot of countries around the world we have people around the world we have not four million people or lebanon but we have almost fifty millions overseas nobody can to bring the lebanese world to this level i think there is a lot of miscalculation on the last part of who came to power of these things they can push lebanon this is back while we have a unified position in the country there are some in the country they feel they can capitalize on this but even those are minority within the country the position he is a hostage there is an international law there who has a unity and we want him back under these immunity ok any deal you know if i could bring your own very first moment of the real value come out and i wouldn't bring norrin just to get an idea of what the reaction is in lebanon the lebanese re

response to this crisis is a critical to determining the success of the transition to a more democratic society the key to any democracy our troops more probable than marginalized populations it is the responsibility of a government and its security forces to protect and respect human rights of all persons within the borders. that we now join journalist david going to bump he joins us from yonder going to give what do you make of to listen his comments that you know he is calling for an investigation into rights abuses in man mum but he stopped short of calling for sanctions yet well it's really interesting because just a few days ago the myanmar military they have their own internal probe result from that came out where they basically said that their soldiers are not guilty of any violations and there's no proof to support that they are so clearly thorsten's message there is that. he does not trust the results of that probe which is the same result you got from much the international community and particularly from human rights groups and call that probe a complete whitewash so basically pushe

reforms that we re it coincided with the reforms that were supposed to move to an open and democratic society. they have always been discriminated bedded it has gotten worse. amnesty documenting this so people understand not just worse. amnesty documenting this so people understand notjust a long history of this discrimination at the way in which you do humanises the way in which you do humanises the rohingya. apply that to the narrative that many of the military and the native population follow now, their belief that the rohingya are not littered on and do not belong and in many cases, this appalling language used by ordinary people and officials, quite rises —— racist language. other human rights groups and amnesty argue that that creates an environment in which it is easier to tolerate human rights abuses. aung san suu kyi, just before this crisis broke, did accept the recommendation of the commission by the former un leader and promised to implement that. the keys to that was to end discrimination. at least, officially the government is committed to doing that. she still says she wants to

response to this crisis is it is critical to the terminator success of a transition to a more democratic society a key test of any democracy power through the smoke all over the marginalized populations it is the responsibility of a government and its security forces to protect and respect the human rights of all persons within its borders and to hold accountable those who fail to do so scott had as more from him of capital now if you don't. u.s. secretary of state rex tillotson was only on the ground here for a couple of hours on wednesday he met with the commander in chief of the military services here in myanmar then he met with. the government the civilian government leader here for this nation and then after that meeting with he held a press conference and in that press conference he said that one of the most important things when dealing with the situation rakhine state and the range of refugees is that there is a credible and impartial investigation into what happened over these last several months sending these six hundred thousand plus refugees over the border into bangladesh he said th

is set about the media not recognizing that they're valuable and they have a role to play in democratic society and the next thing you know we start looking at cases of people being disappeared people being killed for doing their jobs always good talking to phil robertson thank you. noise from facebook twitter and google have revealed social media posts they say russia used to sway in last year's u.s. presidential election the tech giants told the senate intelligence committee they found evidence of russian operatives using companies as a front to post on behalf of my kind of reports from washington d.c. . among democrats the suspicion that russian meddling led to president trumps victory in last year's election but the republican chair of the committee insisted this was not the case attacking media outlets that speculated it was a lot of folks including many in the media have tried to reduce this entire conversation to one premise for an actor's conducted a surgical executed covert operation to help elect a united states president i'm here to tell you this story does not simplify that easily f

both believed that democratic societies were much more likely to be peaceful than autocratic societies. that's a key linkage of those concepts because those ideas continued to resonate throughout the rest of the 20th century, and indeed, on down to today. both leaders also despised traditional balance of power politics. and by that i mean they distrusted the international system that existed prior to 1914. both of them saw that system has dominated by alliances, unrestrained imperialism and arms races. arms races in particular alarmed both wilson and hoover. arms races were something that sapped the nation's economy and arms races were something that primed countries to go to war, because the more nations armed, the less they had a possibility to negotiate. it poisoned the atmosphere for compromise and negotiations to solve a crisis. so both men very much were interested in reforming the international system. both of them thought the united states could bring greater order to international politics, ideally through some kind of institution like the one wilson proposed, the league of na

elevate certain ideas as sacred and without question then they're just being nothing sacred in a democratic society true everything should be subject to question radical from religion to sex to politics and science and what i would say just chance and signs that that's what science is based on we all question each other and we don't go for i don't go we don't where road says and you didn't quote on some question which is when i say that you can have religious folks in general just people in general do you see them as less culpable for the kind of sins or crimes or that you ascribe to religion would you see them as just as bad as everyone else as a quote unquote fundamentalist literalist extremist whatever word you want to give i just want to nail down what you think of religious people as a whole point is you think i'm complaining about people i'm not complaining about people i'm complaining about ideas there's a very different i get that there are affect wonderful religious people there are crappy religious people my christabel you can't generalize but i don't think you could generalize individual

we are now seniors were democratic society. fortunately we are all survivors were democratic society. that is our task now, to continue with that way. iny knew the war was wrong 1961, that is what we published our first paper, announcing the oncoming war by 1965 the government knew the war was wrong because the teachings 1965 allthe march of over the country. we force a debate with the national security council. this is where we clearly won the debate, isaac torture and the similarities of the antiwar scholarship made it clear case that the cold war was a problem and we just had to be done with it. what we doent knew not usually understand was that an sds began with a view that power had to be accountable to knowledge. those fundamental to our vision of democracy. we discovered that that was not the case. power is not accountable to knowledge. we have not yet absorbed. >> i merely might. levitation is my business. >> you say you wanted to speak about the levitation. thank you very much, we will move on. >> what the levitation w

in a democratic society the people who have the guns have the ones who are in power. >> i want the rightfend myself as a free man. >> they want everyone to have guns except cops. kennedy: hitler's army. >> you make a good point about enforcing the laws we do have. president obama pardoned over 100 people for their gun crimes. twhrils such disregard for the sensible gun laws that we do have on the books. and it's most of often democrats who are not serious about enforcing them and holding people to them. kennedy: and we constantly need to ask questions, what is the motivation? if it's something murderous and evil, we have to get a grasp on it as a society. not necessarily reach to government for new layers of bureaucracy. we need to figure out how the hell this stuff happens. thank you all very much. house republicans making changes to the tax reform plan they revealed just days ago. what are the chances this thing gets done before christmas? scott martin does the math next. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment

. >> i believe in education and i agree that an educated society will be a stronger democratic society. at the same time, there is tremendous potential where we check the box or education is in a good spot. why do i say that? new digital tools coming along and a further divide in our nation and looking at communities that weren't expressing some of the concerns and we say what if we could ask citizens to own it. we developed a program called "make it your own." and think about the challenges in their local communities and we had a grant program that was competitive. but the key was, it was btnt one of those grant applications. you can see it and wrap it. just give us your best thinking. and many of the people that won won the day really proved that brilliance is equally divided and opportunity is not, because it was amazing what we saw and in some cases didn't have a high school degree. when you challenge citizens and invite them in to shall part of the solution and any educational level with any background with bring. i have an idea and sometimes those are some of the best ideas. it c

be controversial in education and of course i agree and educated society will be a stronger democratic society. at the same time i think there is tremendous potential before we get to that place where we kind of check the box on education. why do i say that? over a decade ago as we saw new digital tools coming along, we were really concerned about a further divide in our nation. and we were looking at communities who were expressing some of the things we talked about. some concerns, etc. we said what if we can really ask citizens to own the problems in their communities. program called make it your own and we invited citizens across the nation to think about the challenges in their local communities and send them to us and we had a competitive grant program. put the key was it was not a complicated grant application. we said you can sing it, you can rap it. just give us your best thinking. effect of the matter is many of the people that won the day really proved that brilliance is equally divided. saw fromzing what we people who in some cases do not even have a high school degree. when you cha

that is another area where we who have grown up in a free society, a democratic society, we do notl, basically really use propaganda very well. it is kind of an anti-term in our vocabulary. recents in part with our history, with her history with world war ii and what the germans did and this and that. but this information is used extraordinarily well by our adversaries. in fact, you can say in many ways they are winning the information war. and when we do have an incident, it should be reported, it should be in the media, but we should not talk about it forever and a day, and we do. and all that publicity, all that notoriety, that just makes again these people who have been oppressed -- it just further invigorates them with the want to join these things. and that is part of the whole idea of this so-called radicalization of young people and all that kind of stuff. so there is a lot of angles here, if you will. a lot of things to think about. i think globally we are on the right track. fortunately, you do not hear so much about the successes we have, because that is one of the reasons

first, a powerful, independent institution that controls key economic policy tools in a democratic societyn obligation to communicate to the public and to members of congress to make clear what it's doing, what the objectives of policy are, and what the logic is of the policies that are being followed. this is a matter of transparency, accountability, and legitimacy of an organization that has been given a great deal of responsibility and independence to carry it out. second, i would say communication is extremely important in making policy effective. what market participants and members of the public think the future holds in store matters andtly to how they behave actual market conditions. it's important to communicate clearly to markets and the public so that the expectations that market participants form are one attempt to enhance the effectiveness of policy. communicating clearly that we have an inflation objective, that we are committed to an inflation objective, that its 2%, most central banks these days do that, but i think a record of good performance and that clear commitment has

course, i agree in education and of course i agree and educated society will be a stronger democratic society. at the same time i think there is tremendous potential before we get to that place where we kind of check the box on education is in a good spot. why do i say that? over a decade ago as we saw new digital tools coming along, we were really concerned about a further divide in our nation.ne, we are concerned about a further divide in our nation. we were looking at communities who are expressing some of the things we talked about in the last session. some of the concerns in their community and etc.. what if we can ask those groups to own the problems in their communities? we developed a program called make it your own and we invited citizens from across the nation to think about the challenges in their local communities and send them to us. we had a grant program that was was, ite, but the key was not one of these the lout this complicated academic grant application. we said, you can sing it, you can wrap it, just give us your best thinking. the fact of the matter is, many of the people

do we know that we are in -- imbuing in our culture the kinds of values that make us a more democratic society we evaluate that? there are ways and there are qualitative, what the experts call mixed methodologies, that allow us to understand progress. the risk is as einstein reminded us, there are many things that are important in the world that cannot be measured, but we must invest in them nonetheless. the point is, if we only invested in things for which there were quantifiable, randomized controlled trials and interventions, we would not have seen the progress we have seen in the humanities, for example, or in the arts, or in many creative advancements. the rockefeller foundation is best known for what they did for the green revolution. joel: got the nobel prize. charlie: what is the ford foundation's best success? joel: -- darren: the ford foundation was their partner and the ford foundation invested more in the green revolution than the rockefeller foundation did. it is something we are very proud of. the ford foundation is known most because we have been at the forefront of human achiev

who brought a very important message to people about tolerance, about what is expected about democratic societiesthe 21st century world. and i think that people will hear that message that he brought. >> woodruff: why is that? i'm curious. help us understand how the pope is seen in that community. it's a country that most of us are not familiar with. what do they think of a opinion like him and him coming and saying respect all ethnic minorities in your nation? how is that going to be heard? >> well, i think they have great respect for the pope. and i'm sure that they will take his message seriously. there are militants and let's say extremist ultra nationalists in different sectors of the society who may not hear his message, but the majority of the people will hear it. and the majority of the buddhists in myanmar are peace-loving people. they do not practice the form of back to buddhism that we hear from the militant monks. that's not the form of buddhism that they practice. they're very tolerant of other religions, and they tend to listen to these kinds of messages. i think they'll take it ver

it is the rule of law which is foundational to a democratic society.nk, the most pernicious point of the trump assault on these core institutions and vals. >> and democracies cultivate a social change that exist above parties is not beholden to they will. the civil rights dwelt, the republicans were really bad on kras and the crass were really bad on race. we have a debate on over whether sex crimes in alabama. it is putting party above everything. the rule of law itself. steve schmidt, thank you for coming by. coming up, the fallout from donald trump jr.'s message with wikileaks. how it proves that once and for all, the questions bewhat wikileaks is will be central to the resolution of the russia probe. when heartburn hits, fight back fast with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. ♪ tum -tum -tum -tum smoothies! only from tums hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had t

once you understand how this happens in a democratic society, he's radicalizing by looking at free speech material. he's looking at material online. and then he goes to rent a truck and people are going to say, why can't you find somebody like that? we can study this all we want and i'm not sure we're going to find answers that are satisfying. so when you look at the question of what radicalized him and what's the value of an individual who stays alive after the attack, my answer is just where ali was, it's not the radicalization process. i want to know if he identifies people, places that might identify the next person. what happened over the next year, i'm not sure that's going to prevent another attack. >> the fact that this person had 4,000 isis photos, 90 videos on his phones, would any of his interactions with that type of propaganda online have been a flag foretell generals officials? >> i this i it depends on whether he had been on the radar prior to this. ali could answer this better than i could but if he's looking at information that is directly connected to a target, the intel
