if you go up one floor, that's the east room. the east room is gone.rything inside the house is gone. nothing dates back to the they reusedept windows, they reuse shutters, they mostly reused plaster and marble for new plaster. they dug two levels of basement underground to provide places for storage, the laundry, things that had taken up space in the house, then they built a steel frame to put in central air and central heating. the white house, even our own interior rooms are not strictly original. this is the east room against it is a nixon era picture. i use it to show the piano a little bit better and also you can see some of the details on the case. it was specially designed with six images to represent american music and dance. then it had eagles as the wings. this is the piano that continues to be used all the time. the marine band plays this for -- you know, either just the piano or as part of ensembles. when a high-end classical pianist comes to the white house, they bring their own piano because the actions are different one piano to another

is this is the east room east. i'm casting a shadow here. 1972. this is the reason that this room exists here today to help of the nixonssion foundation and the nixon library. but i'm going to tell you a little about the east room overtime. starting with the winter of 1800-1801. john and abigail adams moved in and november. they were going to serve for four months before thomas jefferson would assume the presidency. in the interest of not hanging the laundry out for my public to see, and it is cold so i don't need frozen laundry, let's put it in the east room. this drawing was done for the national geographic in the kennedy administration, and it shows abigail adams supervising the hanging of the laundry in the east room. remained unfinished toil 1814 -- it felt president james monroe to refurbish the room after the fire and ran out of money again, and it stayed unfinished until the jackson administration. first 29ry for the years or so was empty, full of fire fordestroyed by more decades. print ofure shows a the room in the 1850's, but what it sh

in the middle east. if one person wants to move these elites talk about this way then there is someone whose interests are affected that way and i don't think all of these states it's going to be easy to have reform i don't think reform i don't think they can reform themselves as things stand so i expect these protests will get worse and increase particularly easy economic situation of the middle east as israeli much of europe is already in something of a recession. and its parts of the middle east are in deep recession and this is going to have big popular. populist if you like impact and i'm not sure all that all of these states will survive this period because they contra form i don't think we will see. that because you know in lebanon the sectarian interest in. there is difference is the gulf interests and all sorts of different interests and none of them really are capable the elites in the middle east i don't think any of them are really capable of making the reform look at the gulf states they say

in east berlin. at the end of the course, they would have received this complete kit which is everything you need to catch a spy. you can see in it a lot of pretty mundane articles, a hammer, a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, rubber gloves to avoid leaving finger prints for example. test tubes and other glass bobbles where you can store hair and fiber stables -- fiber samples, some -- it is an entire kit for a spy catcher. if you were caught as a spy, there were serious consequences in east berlin. let's go take a look at aren't hair and room and see what may have happened to you. this is a prison outside of east berlin. it is the actual door from one of the prison cells. this prison housed local prisoners, that maybe anybody who tried to escape from east berlin to someone who had been reported on by may be one of their neighbors or coworkers for having some ideas and thoughts that may not be compatible with the communist system, as the one who may be expected as having some links with the west, anyth

actualized and the american ambassador friedman was very clear in the soft of the meetings in the east room of the white house he said listen you know this is the bible being actualized i mean live in the old testament hold on to them it only the old testament the jewish bible the old has and so this is what is coming and really the deal of the century was the sort of laying the foundations 1st of all for the palestinians to give tribute to this in this pax today like pax romana you know the the province's the pa provinces of pax romana like spain became and gave their fealty. to rome and essentially it's providing that for the palestinians to come in on a subordinate stage to us and a knowledge the new civilizational paradigm in the region that stage one then we move to later stages where it's going to extend jordan probably other states are expected to submit to new most of the arab states have already whole way john will get out of that plan that we took for maybe american viewers here this sounds like a form of manifest destiny with an element of mystery on it to it yes well that's

you see the east bay hills right here the diablo stretching east of san jose and then across the north bay to is where we're going to be seeing some of those windiest of conditions these areas under advisories are just exposed to those winds because it's higher elevation areas. but this is also where you got a lot of trees that could potentially fall on to power lines resulting in some power outages again we had around 60,000 people at one point across the bay yesterday without power that potential certainly does linger into the evening yet again tonight as we do see these powerful winds not showing signs of slowing down just yet. daytime highs today remain in the 60's, although a few spots like the novato napa and santa rosa rise well into the 70's hayward oakland about abuse and whose age 68 for your highs while fremont and redwood city each up to 67, your next 7 days keeping with the dry trend we could see a few sprinkles thursday night into friday morning, friday notably being valentine's day but otherwise the skies are going to keep this trend of unusually dry weather going. tomor

and its parts of the middle east are in deep recession and this is going to have big popular. populist if you like impact and i'm not sure all that all of these streets will survive the spirit because they contra form i don't think we will see. that because you know in lebanon the sectarian interest in. or is difference is the gulf interests and all sorts of different interests and none of them really are capable the elites in the middle east i don't think any of them are really capable of making the reform look at the gulf states they say they need reform to i don't see that we're going to see there's that level of inertia or slow you do have these states here that spend lavishly on arms and we all know why didn't they keep their own populations in our control it's not our national defense i want to go back to the palestinian question here because you know it's we've all long known i mean from slow to the present is that israel has a choice as democracy or a zionist regime in which palestinians are 2nd class citizen and i'll use the. word there for both word essentially apart

he is a senior fellow in the middle east studies. has book "beirut 1958" is a nonfiction thriller that provides a cautionary talent for today. it is a profound understanding of the complex tapestry. in conspiracies consummating. he will be doing a presentation about his book and the topic followed by a q&a. please join me in welcoming bruce. first of all thank you for coming in july 15, 1958. the second marine regiment they anticipated that it would be d day d-day and they were going to be facing a hostile audience. in fact what they ran into was lebanese and other foreign tourists sunbathing on the beachst and some of them in the new invented bikini fortunately i don't have a picture of anybody in a bikini on the beach but i do have a picture of lebanese rushing to the shore fascinated by the marines. vendors charged down the beach selling coca-cola, cigarettes should warm schwalm and other lebanese delights. it turned out in large numbers to see the sights here you can see taxis pulling up. it was all in a way of a comic opera but

the slight capacity within the middle east. how much they can wrap up production or turn it down depending on under supply or oversupply in the rest of the world. overall, this prosperity, which is fueled by middle east oil, facilitated the containment of the soviet union and its communist allies, and helped win the cold war. anyways, i think -- in the remaining time i have, i think i have one more minute, what are u.s. aims, broadly speaking, regarding the oil industry past and future? i would argue there is not a whole lot of difference from what they were in 1945 and what they are today. the most important factor is control over the global oil trade. not control over foreign oil fields. remember, the oil is only useful if you have a market for it. as long as we control access to those markets -- the developed world who tend to be more oil intensive -- as long as you control access to those markets, you don't actually need to control the oil fields themselves in the producing world, which obviously makes relations with oil pr

the east india company held a legal monopoly of british trade with the far east with china, asia, inral, it was facing bankruptcy in 1773.why was it facing bankruptcy? for two reasons, one was mismanagement of the company and two was rapid smuggling. they were smuggling everywhere. into the colonies come into the home islands and so forth and the british and the east india company was being undercut in terms of the price of the goods it was selling especially t by these smugglers. it will not surprise you to learn that many members of parliament were stockholders in the east india company. therefore they didn't want the east india company Ãbthey wanted to preserve it financially. american settlers at the time american colonists at the time were known as prodigious, a term that was used contemporaneously. prodigious tea drinkers. the problem from the east india company's perspective was that they were mostly drinking smuggled tea. the smuggled tea was known as dutch tea. even though it didn't always come from the dutch east india company, holland or the dutch caribbean islands. it was

speaks with a former senior british diplomat on the outlook for the middle east. and welcome to the r.t.e. interview one peter lobo donald trump's deal of the century has been put forward what does it say about the middle east geopolitics in even metaphysics i mean game joined by a former british and founder and director of complex for allister welcome back to moscow. we talk about the middle east you know when donald trump and his administration put forward their deal of the century for what we thought was going to be the israeli palestinian conflict to be resolved actually use something much much more comprehensive and i read dozens and dozens of articles about it they all pretty much say the same thing but your article recent article israel in the middle east a civilizational and metaphysical war this is so think very different looking is the deal of the century what your thesis in this article is simply the fact to recognize that israel. is more like any normal nationalist it's not like nationalism. i'm of russian nationalism or other nationalism precisely bec

and this pathway. >> i am with the middle east but not as much as any of you have. talking about the middle east in your book with lebanon to iran. >> and those and that university of michigan. >> one quick comment and then a question. but when you say while we may be here with the religious extremist against another. you have to remember religion has been adopted as a tool to gain power. not the other way around. but my comment is may be afghanistan. and doing it for purely religious regions. about the question is there are two historic ancient thoughts the religious divide between the sunnis and the shiites and the ethnic between the persians and arabs. i think i'm not wrong war between more people died between iraq and iran than any other conflict put together in those years. so my question is i think we see a little bit of that now because so in the long term with those two divides do you and then to say i will get that right half the time but the other is that i simply don't know the five. >> with the arab versus sunni but to raise the point to the question of

>> good morning i'm the director of the middle east program and we are delighted to welcome you to what i think will be a fascinating program on us policy and strategy after the qassem soleimani strike. first in the unlikely event we need to evacuate the building i will tell you where to go. i don't think that will be a problem but i will direct you. also thank you for those who have supported today's activity. they have done it in a way that is exemplary for the way a policy discussion should do so to set up a conference so there is no responsibility for what we say but but it is an issue of significant broad interest we are grateful for the support. looking at what has happened in the gulf there is a broader national debate if the us should be digging in or pulling out. iran is perceived to be a threat. even within the chump administration even how the us should deal with that threat the us increasingly has been facing asymmetrical threats and responding with conventional tools that has been expensive and affected limited - - effectiveness january 3rd gave us a punctuation mark to loo

journal and the journal of middle east studies. i recall a conversation i had at the time with a mutual friend of ours former deputy ambassador to the united states i said us was lucky to send a deal with arabic to smooth the way that abdullah corrected me. know. the opposite is true. arab-american diplomats have a much hired - - harder time everybody expects them to do favors and make exceptions and they don't get the same respect as the other diplomat we don't have to listen to him he is one of us. and when your government does something the locals don't like they hold them personally responsible. so we are eager to hear your thoughts to be the arab-american diplomat in the middle east during the era of volatile and vacillating relations. we are on the record. so please come to the stage the floor is yours.

[laughter] the first thing one author has to say to another. we have known each other a long t

just about every middle east problem always has a chicken and an egg base. how do we get in this mess? which comes first the chicken or the egg? but in the case of the current problems in the gulf is the chicken and the egg. so to be sure we did not create this animosity between the persians and arabs. that is clear that is not our responsibility or our fault. but pulling out of the iran nuclear agreement added fuel to a fire that was always approaching and set off a chain reaction we haven't been able to direct even with the iran nuclear agreement so let me make a basic point it was not at all the agreement but it did two important things it bought space on which to work other aspects of iran's behavior which some assurance the nuclear issue would be under control for a predictable period of time and a rare instance if a coalition of ad one - - adversaries could agree from european partners to china and russia it was a platform the us could bring multilateral leverage to bear on other gulf issues. that is all gone now in fact i would argue the unilateral ac

the east room east.ughter] here.sting a shadow that may be because of c-span not your regular installation. this is a picture that was taken in 1972. this is an era picture of the east room which is the reason this room exists today. to help pursue the mission of the nixon foundation and the nixon library. what i am going to do is tell you about the history of the east room over time. winter ofith the 1801. john and abigail adams moved in in november. they were going to serve only four months before thomas jefferson would assume presidency. this room was unfinished and abigail said i am not hanging my laundry for the public to see and it is cold out there. i don't want frozen laundry. let's put it in the east room. this drawing was done for the national geographic publication back in the kennedy administration and it shows abigail adams supervising the hanging of the laundry. room remained unfinished until 1814 when the british set fire to the white house and the war of 1812. misses felt the jame james m

it looks at the causes of instability in the middle east and where u.s. action against iran a lead. >> welcome. the scheduling of this book and panel is certainly timely given the rising crisis with iran. we will get to that subject eventually, but the book entitled "seven pillars" and the discussion is to look more broadly and deeply at the drivers of instability of the middle east. from yemen to syria to iraq and now with iran, the region more than ever seems in a permanent state of turmoil if we can't become a land of before and tragically despite decades of intense and often well-meaning intentions into the expenditure of billions of dollars, u.s. policy has more often than not been a failure. maybe the caveat more often than not is too kind. it's been an absolute failure if one accepts it was a better life for the people of the region. of course the ones ultimately responsible for the success or failure are the people who live there. but the catastrophe of today's middle east raises a lot of questions about whether the united states should continue t

in east india company sent 17 ships to north america in 1773. forward dispatched to boston and one each to new york philadelphia and charleston. a very brief brief background here is necessary to refine what was going on. in parliament, in the spring of 1773, the members of parliament adopted the tea act . in the purpose of the tea act was to get the east india company out of financial difficulty. these companies hold them a legal monopoly of british trade with the far east with china, asia in general. and it was facing bankruptcy in 1773. why was it facing bankruptcy for two reasons. one was mismanagement of the company into was rapid at smuggling. there was smuggling everywhere. into the colonies into the home islands and so forth, and the british and east india company was being undercut in terms of the price of the goods it was selling a specialty by the smugglers. so it will not surprise you to learn many members of parliament stockholders in the east india companies so therefore they do not want these companies to go bankrupt. they wanted

this is the east shore freeway. listen up if that is your drive anywhere along the area from the carquinez bring down to the bay bridge. here is the deal. the good news is their allowing traffic in one slow lane. so we do have that slow lane to alleviate the back-up. this crash is between powell and ashby. these folks are getting off the freeway and taking the frontage road which is called frontage road. this goes back for miles. at least three miles now as you are coming down and back-up and crashes in the area right around golden gate field and before university and pretty much everybody else funneled off at university if that is where they could get. a couple of miles of back-up that has to be cleared out so san pablo is an alternate and up here go west across that richmond-san rafael bridge and take golden gate bridge toward san francisco if that is your destination. san pablo is relief that takes you through city streets that will get very crowded over the next half hour but the rest of the bay is clear. the ea
