so he escalates. by 1968 the escalation has been quite massive. one of the things that is propelling it is now that men are being drafted. as the war escalates, you need to draft more young men in the military. you need more soldiers. the draft is instituted in the run-up to world war ii by roosevelt. we do not have -- now we have an all volunteer military, we did not then. the escalation of vietnam means the escalation of those being called up in the draft. during the nearly 10 years of heavy american involvement in the war, a total of 11.7 million served in the armed forces. a little over 2 million of those went to vietnam. within that number, 1.6 million saw combat. entire 18-25he population, it is a little over a quarter of the population drafted up. the uncertainty of the draft, the fact that every young man makes itgister for it, a possibility and probability for everyone. at the peak of the draft, in 1966, 3 hundred 47,000 americans were drafted. by 1968, going into 1968, one third of the 20-year-old men were in the service. one in 320-year

. >>> that escalator, the escalator we've seen so many times on the sthhow with kids going up and downaving a jolly good old time except a toddler flips as he's getting onto the escalator, and now his hand is trapped and the escalator is still moving. but the mom actually s what's going on. as she got there, she saw the emergency button, pushes it, so that stops the escalator. she's unable to release his hand by herself. so they have to call emergency workers. tu enev yablyalle to ourelease it. fortunately did not have serious injuries. >> it's only a matter of time. the beginning of that video looked like a playground. it's not a toy. this is what happens when you let kids run wild. >> if you leave it to kids' imaginations and dares, they're going to tmsve i s gomeet pretty terrible situations. just like the kid in this video whom ended up stuck in a washing machine because of a dare. he was dared by his friends to get in there. he did and now he's stuck. >> you see the kids' face? he's like really? this is so humiliating. >> what exactly got stuck? >> it's not clear how the inside of

so he escalates. by 1968, the escalation has been quite massive. that ishe things propelling it is now that there are men being drafted. as the war escalates, you need to draft more young men in the military. you need more soldiers. the draft is instituted in the run up to world war ii by roosevelt. altar't -- we now have an -- and all volunteer military, but we did not then. the escalation of vietnam means the escalation of those being called up in the draft. during the nearly 10 years of heavy involvement in the war, a total of 11 point evan million served in the art -- 11.7 million served in the armed forces. overall, of the entire 18 to 25 population, it is a little over 1/4 of the population drafted up. of the tract,y the fact that every young man has to register for it, makes it a possibility and probability for everyone -- at the peak of the draft, 340 cap americans are -- 345 americans are drafted. 1/3 20-year-old men were enlisted. it is something that you cannot get exempted from. even though some people are more easily able to dodge it t

so in early 1965, hanoi escalate -- escalates again. hanoi begins to send out north vietnamese, nva regiments. the main forces. not viet cong village guerrillas but north vietnamese regiments coming down to attack south vietnamese forces and destroy them. by may in june of 1965, the south vietnamese army is losing a battalion only. there are no young men coming into the recruiting centers. met -- westeral moreland says to president johnson what is known as the 44 battalion request. he basically says, that i have been sent out here with the mission to defend south vietnam. with south vietnamese losses, they will take over vietnam and -- within three are four months. if you want to save this country i need for our combat maneuver battalions. and i will hold the line. and if you want me to move it back, i will need more for -- forces in phase two. which i will then use on an offense of campaign. by the way, to deal with this north vietnamese escalation, johnson starts bombing. you start bombing the north. the rationale is produced by rober

finally, were discussing get the reputation of escalation? did domestic issues distract johnson from vietnam? mr. young: i can't remember paul, do you remember was it dave broder who made the description of lyndon johnson as president -- as the salami slicer? i think it was dave broder. this is a powerful insight. johnson's skill and genius was in the senate of the united states, slicing salami. we have just seen last week president trump, paul ryan and others, fail at the process of slicing salami. what is is referring to? it's the deal making, how you get things done in a pluralistic democracy in congress. chuck, you have a slice of salami. you get a thicker slice. you get the end, i sliced the salami, everybody gets everything but you have to vote with me. as you see, johnson, dealing with this problem of vietnam, which is clear i think he felt he inherited. this is not something he started. he was a believer in the vietnamese and nationalism and freedom. he inherited it, he believed in it that's why he stayed in it. he is caught between t

a sionjones inside plan to create for de—escalates a sion jones inside syria. plan to create for de—escalateshone call, representatives agreed to work on additional measures. russia says a new initiative to create demilitarised areas in syria can pave the way towards more substantive negotiations. translation: the most important thing is that the implementation of the memorandum can help cease the military action and therefore end the syrian crisis at a practical level. the initiative is of significant meaning to the political process in syria. the deal to create de—escalation zones in the major areas of conflict in syria took effect in midnight on friday. the initiative was proposed by russia, president bashar al—assad's most powerful ally. it is backed by turkey and iran. with the deal coming from two strong back backers of the regime, some say they are not too confident about it. translation: the revolution is very damaged. it is strangled, and the syrian people are killed in these so—called de—escalation zones. the regime and the russians are the only beneficiaries. failure of peace effo

efforts in syria with regard to these de-escalation zones? >> well, the american position on these de-escalation zones i think still a little bit unclear. the de-escalation zones were following the phone call between donald trump and president putin of russia. but the u.s. has expressed concerns about the iranian involvement. they're saying the iranians contributed violence to the situation in syria and not been a positive force in any way. so, the u.s. is holding back. and the security zones or the de-escalation zones are said to be no-fly zones, as well. what the russians have said is that u.s. led coalition aircraft will not be permitted to carry out air strikes inside those de-escalation zones and nor will the syrian air force, as well. that will be a limitation. and i think it also shows that the russians and the iranians and the turks are prepared to move forward with a peace plan in syria with or without the agreement of the united states. >> 11:43 in moscow. matthew chance reporting live. thank you for the report. >>> still ahead here

we discussed syria in the context of the ideas that have been put forth regarding the de-escalation areas and regarding the facts if that should be established that would contribute to violence throughout the country of syria to contribute to humanitarian problems and forms the framework to achieve political substance base and resolution 2224. we agree to work together where the u.s. is an observer and appreciate the constructive criticism of the u.s. this meeting will continue to accomplish the process which is supposed to resume next week according to secretary tillerson. we hope that all the participants of the talks will be constructive. we also discussed many other issues and challenges wooektd tu -- we could turn the ties on the israeli and afghanistan settlements regarding the ukrainian settlement. we agreed to continue our working coxplex to ensure the convergence of the positions of all parties involved. it is very encouraging. the reason for the duration is well known. it reviewed the case with the relations and it is suggested all the problems have felon out of the pace that is

so hanoi escalates by creating the vietcong. they mobilized local people and started assassinating village chiefs, people organizing people around a particular cause. what does the kenny administration going to do? in the end of 1961, jack kennedy decides and their implications because of the bay of pigs debacle, he escalates on our side. in particularly a strategic hamlin program is begun. which is a lot of argument to this day. and i myself have no clear judgment as to whether the program was that successful or not. it wasn't a total failure. whether it was success as some people say, i don't know. in any case, the government had more strength in the rural areas through the strategy program but lost support. another coup. the first coup and this coup was led by young national officers. this time the coup succeeds and he and his brother were murdered. the leader of the coup was min. and he and the other coup leaders come out of the french army. they were not part of the nationalist tradition and there was a new government. hano

the couple stuck on an escalator. taking this escalator. going down on it. this guy recorded them.decided we're committing. we started this journey. going to finish it. we are going to change while the world might be going that way. we are going down. question is how long did it take them to bottom? >> seems like they're a while. let's, can we check back in a little while. off awe check back in. we have ugother stories. you decide. world's bravest or dumbest prairie dog. perhaps a does isn't of frank, we will see. facing down an alligator. check this out. there is the alligator looking not so friendly. here comes the prairie dog. the alligator is sleeping. when the prairie dog decide -- it doesn't want the alligator to be sleeping any more. jumps on the alligator's nose. and the alligator open its mouth and hisses at the prairie dog. >> man. that prairie dog, there, that, that could have been breakfast. >> the story actually probably looks familiar to frank. what i look like in the morning when frank tries to wake me up. >> attack. attack. right, frank. >> doesn't run away. right.

in fact, our escalating, you look just at these three. the media played a lot of the first 100 days of donald trump, as we should have. the evaluation of what he has managed to do so far. what wasn't done as much is evaluating the movements, and they've been quite astonishing, the day after president trump was inaugurated. three times the crowd for his inauguration came out. a lot was made of the fact that donald trump's inaugural crowd was smaller than president obama's nine years before. the pictures showed did, you had president trump saying his crowd was larger than any in history. that sort of obscured what happened the next day, 24 hours later in the same place, three times the number of people came out in protests led by women, it was not only in washington, d.c.. i mean, we covered that for many hours in washington. we ended up going to sundance where we covered the documentary track. i talked to kerry washington of "scandal." she was exhilarated she was in los angeles, she had just addressed 750,000 people. in mont peel yar vermo

finally it escalated. deputy say johnson shot him once in the chest leaving the 65-year-old lying dead in his own driveway, puzzling his neighbors because you can see the boundary markers clearly marking the property lines. >> why there was a controversy, i don't know. unless it was mental illness on someone's part >> for the first time in his life, at 80, johnston faces a charge and it's a charge of first-degree murder. janice park, wusa 9. >> we reached out to the victim's family today. they are asking for privacy. >>> not a word in court today from the suspect from that allegedly unprovoked and possibly racist stabbing at the university of maryland over the weekend. charged with first- degree murder in the death of richard collins. a newly commissioned lieutenant in the u.s. army. crystal chan was in the courtroom. >> reporter: 's lawyer asked the judge to set some kind of bail. he cited the 22-year-old long ties to the community and said that he was intoxicated and incoherent at the time of the fatal s

that escalates because then it comes back as gossip to the principles. they do get excited at some point and say, was he really saying that about me? that is human nature. but i don't think the conflicts with vance and me were in any way comparable to rogers and kissinger, nor to the schultz and weinberger stuff. brian: does any of our government from your experience have the situation where you have different departments trying to outdo one another? mr. brzezinski: sure, absolutely. maybe it is a little more dramatic because in a sense, you have the secretary of state which has all the trappings of ceremony, and the illusions of power, and then you have the national security adviser, who is close to the president. and if the president is interested in foreign affairs and wants to run for an affairs, the national security adviser just overshadows the secretary of state because that is the guy or woman on whom the president relies and sees. i could walk to the president's office without knocking anytime i wanted to. obviously i wasn't doing it all the tim

to moscow when he briefed us about his idea s regarding the creation of this security areas, de-escalation areas. that was the idea mentioned by president trump when he was on the phone with president putin. rex tillerson gave more details about this idea in moscow and now the are being implemented thanks to the demonstration where the idea was put forth for four collusion areas. that is including in the south, which is of particular interest for the u.s.. they have particular interest in capitalizing the situation on the border with syria and israel. today, we have discussed the specific ways to jointly implement these agreements. and as you mentioned, the political process is of fundamental importance. we feel we should not take that welcome. we should resume the geneva talks in a couple of days. we would hope, as mentioned, that the fair works within which this process is evolving are going to be acceptable for all the sides of the government and all the opposition groups. we hope all the political talks are going to walk on the issues of governance, the development of a new constitutio

director, how does that discussion escalate to be escalate approach to nuclear weapons affect a change in the russian thinking or planning with respect to the use of nuclear weapons back pressure builds nuclear capabilities with the intent to use it on the high-end of conflict for termination or de-escalate if the crisis is going in a decidedly negative way for russia that the tactical use of nuclear weapons will discourage further actions by nato or us forces. tactical use of nuclear causes us to pause, cause us to think about whether we want to continue the fight and create the opportunity where it can settle the contest in more favorable terms. they are the only country that i know of that has this concept of escalate to terminate or escalate to de-escalate but they do have that built into their operational concept. we've seen them exercise that idea and it's a dangerous idea because it then escalates, could escalate to further escalate that can be seen any indication that they are changing their path mark. >> none. no, senator. >> with regard to china and their modernization effort

what are the dangers of this escalating further and america being backed into a corner? >> i think that is absolutely a concern. his rhetoric saying we will have to deal with this one way or another does put the credibility of american power at risk. if he is required to take military action, it immediately puts tens if not hundreds of thousands of south koreans at risk. tim: what more can president xi do? what more sanctions can china impose? >> this is the dilemma here. the essential deal is you de nuclearize, you have a normal relationship with the rest of the world. what kim jong-un is trying to do a say i wanted t normal relationship and nuclear weapons. notwithstanding it is most heavily sanctioned country on earth right now, there is a building boom there, the economy has stabilized. that is all about china. the president has the right target here, but realistically, how far will china go? not as far as he wants. tim: p.j. crowley, thank you there were violent scenes on the streets of the french capital today during the traditional mayday march please officers wer

he responds to rhetoric against north korea by escalating his behavior in these tests. that's why i would be concerned about the type of rhetorical escalation we have seen because all it does is poke a hornet's nest with someone we have seen respond by escalating his provocation. >> so charlie, this has been an area where i think president trump's been on a prtee steep learning curve. i did some foreign policy interviews with him last year, with maggie haberman am he said to us definitively, the chinese can solve this problem. then xi jinping went to visit him at mar-a-lago and came out saying mr. j stat me down and explained he doesn't have as much influence with the north koreans as i thought, sort of like who knew, just like who knew health care was this complicated. and so i think he is now discovered just as ben suggests, that the chinese's ability to pressure the north is not quite what it seemed. now the chinese also do provide them with oil, and they could turn off that pipeline. they've never really been willing to do that for more than a couple of days. >> ros

behind one of the goals the de-escalation area. regarding the general background and fair work part. i would say our dialogue as of ideologyee from typical of the obama administration. both trump and the secretary of state are businesslike people and they want to reach agreement, not for the sake of demonstrating their achievements to anyone in terms of their ideological preferences. they are willing to negotiate, come to an agreement in order to address and settle certain issues which are key for the development of our country, the progress of the people, and are instrumental in the settlement of conflicts in various parts of the world. minister,eign bloomberg news. in your meeting with president trump, did he raise u.s. concerns about russian interference in the u.s. election? thank you. i have answered that question repeatedly. we are watching everything going on here with regards to russia and russia's role in your policy. andiscussed specific issues did not result absurd issues. -- raise those absurd issues. >> thinking very m

they know how to de-escalate verbal events. these are professional people who are doing a job that, you know, a lot of people don't want. and already states across this country have recognized that their state probation officers need this sort of authority. in some states, for example, they've given them full police authority, full police authority. in this case, it's very, very limited. it's limited to the obstruction. it's limited to the physical obstruction of the probation officer doing their job that we have asked them to do on behalf of all of us in this country. the least we can do, as we wrap up police memorial week, is to say, we support -- mr. speaker, there are members in this body who have found a way, decided that there is a way i can vote no on this. instead of standing up saying, there are members here that have had police officers added to the memorial way this past week and some cases five people from one state and those members have decided to find a way to not support law enforcement and they're going to vote
