includes iranally , nuclear issues, yugoslavia, thenthe nato expansion -- the nato expansion, they change their priority and different conversations. clinton says this is what you should do. this is what you should do, this is in your interest. gradually, among the russian peopleeven very liberal this definition by the united states of what your interests are became very grating. in one of the conversations with insult -- add insult to injury by telling me what i have to do is in my interest. , that partnership is very acute. it is thetrying to explain what is in his interest. sometimes it goes just like that , words. remember this is what you have to do, remember this is what you always do, boris objects, then he says i understand. the number of times he has this interaction is striking. not well accepted by the russians. the russian liberals came to power, they did not feel defeated, they did not feel that they were going to be taught by somebody. somebody will define their interest. if you want to be a democratic nation that was in your interest. you have to do that. even if you at tha

during the kennedy in ministration, -- during the kennedy administration there was another expansion and this is where we get the modern state department. the diplomacy center is at 21st street and that is where the old war building was. c street is the diplomatic entrance. >> they celebrated the dedication and opening of this new expansion on january 5, 1961. it was a relatively quick construction from 1957 to 1961. ,e have the dedication program there was much fanfare with the marine band. what we know today as the modern building. this booklet was created to advertise and celebrate the new home, the new home of american diplomacy. one interesting historical fact about this new building, as you said it was at the beginning of the kennedy administration. would holdennedy press conferences at the department of state auditorium, what is now called the dean acheson auditorium. this booklet explains a bit of the history and use of the building. would you consider reopening diplomatic relations with cuba? last part first, we are not considering such a step at the present time. interested

medicaid expansion is the law, and i will execute the law. but funding is a legislative constitutional duty, and it is the legislature's responsibility to appropriate the funds. appropriate the money so we can implement the law sooner than later. i do not believe it's appropriate for this body to wait till after the november elections. do it now. do it now. the people of maine, if you believe in it, then fund it. i have laid out some basic principles to guide your decision on how to pay medicaid expansion. i will not jeopardize the state's long-term fiscal health. we must avoid the budget disasters of the past, and many of you were here, and you know what i'm talking about. we paid off $750 million to our hospitals. we must fund medicaid expansion in a way that is sustainable and ongoing. therefore, my principles are very, very simple. no tax increases on maine families or businesses. no use of the budget stabilization fund, which is better known as the rainy day fund. no use of other one-time funding mechanisms known as gimmicks. you all kno

nato expansion is not happening right now. it is the partnership for peace in which russia will be integrated just as eastern europe. that point was not true. we can talk about it later, we just do not have time. i will now pose the question of priorities. very often in the documents you can see there were these high priorities. at each particular moment, in may of 1995. those priorities were superseded by priorities of the day, i would say the common priorities of yeltsin and clinton, russia and the united states, were superseded by priorities that were more unilateral. for example, building up democracy and sticking to the principle of democracy was superseded by the issue of nato expansion. all of these conversations that we have now, the devote -- they devote so much more time to issues like trade with iran, nato expansion is a major issue. in fact, when you look at it the actual support for democracy becomes very low on the agenda. support for liberalization is much higher, but the results of this belief that with economi

and nato expansion is not happening right now. it's the partnership for peace in which russia will be integrated just as eastern europe. but that was of course not true. we can talk about it later. we just don't have time. but i'll now pose the question of priorities. very often in strobe's book and also in the documents you can see that, yes, there were these high priorities. but at the moment, at each particular moment, let's say in may 1995, in other summits between yeltsin and clinton, those priorities were superseded by priorities of the day. and i would say the common priorities of yeltsin and clinton, russia, and the united states were superseded by priorities that were more unilateral. for example, building of the democracy and sticking to the principles of democracy was superseded by the issue of nato expansion. and, you know, all these conversations that we have now, they devote so much more time to issues like trade with iran. nato expansion is just really really major issue. cooperation among nuclear security which was

that's the key point that was driving the steady expansion of japan. driving the steady expansion of financial markets, there is one word that is making investors shake in their boots right 110w. investors shake in their boots right now. inflation. it is the benchmark which measures how quickly prices for goods and services increase but investors think inflation is on the rise and they expect several banks will raise the cost of borrowing to cool down the economy. basri's wildfires —— while dwyer was caused by expectations that a strong us economy would lead to more rate rises. later today, the us government releases its consumer price number. i asked peter mcguire what he thinks the numbers will show. we are expecting to see a decline for core and cpi rates to 1.9 and 1.7 respectively, down from 2.1 and 1.8. we are expecting to see a downturn in those inflation numbers. it is a wait and see approach. if we don't see a downturn but arise, which is something market a nalysts but arise, which is something market a na lysts d o but arise, which is something market analysts do not expect

where stateville to ultimately pick up 10% of it. 5% t now we're about at share of that medicaid expansion opulation, we estimate it originally to be 250,000 people on the program, it grew to 330,000. e've reduced that to 280,000, managing the system better, our economy is improving, people are getting jobs in arkansas. in terms of the actual raw umbers of cost, that is probably about $135 million of general revenue that we put in expansion, edicaid the rest is federal government contribution. money or trye save to control the cost, it is not budget, it our state is also about managing the federal investment of dollars, important to us. host: richard in springdale, arkansas, this morning. are on with your governor, asa hutchinson. sir, governor. you know, i live in a fifth-wheel trailer, i got laid years ago.e 63 and on social security. i have two questions for you. number one, why are we still paying grocery tax on something have to have to live? personal property tax, i have a vehicle, i will never own it as long as i live the state of arkansas, taxed.e it will always be i will never act

let's talk a little bit about the further expansion. >> right. they were therefore 10 years? then they decided they needed a lot more space. plans were made to significantly expand the building to let we know today, which borders 21st street and 23rd street, as well as c street and d street. a cornerstone laying ceremony in 1857. >> presided over by none other than president eisenhower. one of the interesting things we uncovered, when eisenhower laid the cornerstone of the building, he used a trowel that had been used by george washington to lay the cornerstone of the u.s. capitol. they also put in historical documents in the cornerstone at the time. then during the kennedy administration, right before kennedy was inaugurated, there was another expansion. this is where we get the modern state department, where we have the official entrance on c street. the diplomacy center is at 21st street, where the old war building of the state department entrance was. c street is the diplomatic entrance. exactly. so they celebrated the dedication and opening of the new extension on januar

the war crimes rewards expansion act would clarify the war crimes rewards program. this program is an important tool for bringing to justice the perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. under current law, the united states uses the program to pay rewards for the arrest or conviction of foreign nationals who commit some of the most heinous acts. in the past, bounties have helped find fugitives from the former yugoslavia to rwanda. the statute providing authorization for this program specifies that rewards can be paid to individuals who furnish information leading to the arrest or convictions for war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide as those terms are defined under the statutes of international tribunals. h.r. 3851 clarifies the secretary of state can also choose to pay rewards for arrest and convictions that take place under the laws of the united states as well as other individual countries. under certain circumstances, prosecutions will have the greatest impact when they take place in domestic courts, within the societies in whi

oregon having to pass new taxes to for the medicaid expansion. so what graham-cassidy did is it told states if you can't afford the match, you don't have to put it up. one of the things i will note, senator nelson from florida was concerned about the impact on his day. under graham-cassidy florida would've gotten $15 billion more than under current law to care for those who are poor or poorly insured interstates why somebody would oppose as a doctor who took care of the uninsured for 25 years, why somebody would oppose 15 billion more over ten years to care for the poorly insured interstate, i have no clue. no clue whatsoever, except a dogged determination to support status quo. that said, now i will get to my question. i heard an intriguing conversation yesterday. don't know if it's true but i would like your thoughts, that medicaid best price actually drives up the cost of healthcare, excuse me, for medicine for everybody else. when medicaid best price is put into place only one out of 11 americans were covered by medicaid. now one out of four

of this expansion. so 2.6% year-on-year so wages are picking up in the u.s.hink the point is they're not perhaps accelerating meaningfully just yet. but that is eventually going to come through as the labor market continues to tighten, we will see this excel ra acceleration the 2.6 is a good wage pick up for the u.s. we are not quite there in terms of excess capacity so employment levels have improved across the board. but they still have a lot of slack in the labor markets elsewhere. there are areas where this is not the case if you look at the markets in central and eastern europe, there we're starting to see significant pick up in wage inflation. so we're seeing wage pressures there. but in most of the emerging markets we don't see that coming through. we see that coming through in europe >> do you think increased productivity ends up in the pockets of share hoholders or workers long-term? >> i think a mix of both i think now we're starting to see the u.s. corporates announcing wage increases as a windfall for the employees following the tax reforms. there

fresh industry data this week shows yet another expansion of u.s.soline inventories, undermining efforts by opec and its allies to clear a global glut. however, the iea says the surplus has almost been cleared. i asked hootan yazhari, the head of mena and frontier markets at bank of america merrill lynch, how serious a threat u.s. production is to opec's goals. hootan: global production has been stalling, ex-u.s. we have seen decline rates accelerating in 2016, decline rates were at 5% in 2017, 5.4%. so really the big question right now is, what happens outside of the u.s.? because the u.s. is clearly expanding supply a lot more than the market was expecting, especially the data last week showed the more than 300,000 barrel a day increase in production. and looking forward from here, i think the biggest questions really focus around what will opec discipline be like in the coming year, will they exit out of this deal very quickly and reengage in the market share war with russia, or will they keep to the agreements they put out. i think this is reall

i do believe in conformity and i do believe in medicaid expansion. medicaid expansion, while i think it is a bad public policy, when you give able-bodied people a free ride it is the law of our state and i will enforce the law of the state. [applause] that is the good news. that is the good news. [laughter] now let me give you the bad news. medicaid expansion is the loss and i will execute the law but funding is a legislative constitutional duty and it is the legislators responsibility to appropriate the funds. appropriate the money so we can implement the law sooner than later. i do not believe it is appropriate for this body to wait until after the november elections. do it now. do it now, the people of maine if you believe in it then fund it. i have laid out the basic principles to guide your decision on how to paint medicaid expansion. i will not jeopardize the state's long term school health. we must avoid the budget disasters of the past and many of you are here and you know what i am talking about. we paid off $750 million through our hospital

russia in crimea it was not only a matter of principle it was a matter of strategic security the expansion of nato the possibility of losing the the base in the black sea and those when you deal with strategic security it's very difficult to uphold principles even if you agree with that do you think russia could have played any other way alternatively do you think that russia is likely to . repeat what has happened in crimea this is a very difficult question that i would have to say your vote because it reaches far beyond the issue of of sanctions that we have chests discussed. sanctions could be could be justified i'm just. as a business reservation in relationship to. the developments in ukraine or another border states. and as in the feeling of your or not germany alone of europe the development in. your career in your crane is considered to be unfortunate. the only the only way to ensure to put this. to put this to russia is not by just simply arguing but also. by. introducing. corporations or. so solutions of conflict in this field so far they haven't been very successful. that well y

oregon is having to pass new taxes in order to pay for the state share of medicaid expansion. i have 1 -- i heard one person say that we are excluding unions but we are taxing individuals and small businesses. they are the only ones without lobbyists. those without lobbyists will pay the tax for everyone else, oregon having to pass new taxes to afford the medicaid expansion. what graham cassidy did was it told states that if they can't not afford the match, they don't have to put it up. under graham cassidy, florida would have gotten $15 billion more than under current law to care for those who are poor or poorly insured in their state. oppose as a would doctor who took care of the uninsured for 25 years, why somebody would oppose $15 billion more over 10 years to care for these poorly insured in their state, i have no clue. i have no clue whatsoever except a dogged determination to support the status quo. that said, i would get to my question. i had an intriguing conversation yesterday. like your thoughts, that medicaid best price actually drives up the cost of medicines for

the ongoing story of expansion at heathrow.s in england's big cities gaining some powers over income tax? the idea's been suggested at a commons committee hearing that's been looking at the future finances of of local councils. the chief executive of the public service accountancy group cipfa said there was a clear need for greater cash—raising powers as demands on england's city—regions increase. a conservative mp took up the questioning. are you suggesting that they should be another change that we should move away from devolution towards a more central interference model we've had before? the change i would hope to see one day is that a regional devolution in england is similar to devolution within the nations of the uk. if the scottish government can vary income tax or corporation tax in order to fund services in scotland, why can't the mayor of london or the mayor of manchester? have access to varied income tax or corporation tax in accordance with the plans of that area. the problem is local government is being funded fro

president thomas jefferson described the state's intentions for the expansion. taking the land by force was not an accidental or spontaneous project. it was second only to freedom of speech. they'll colonial settlers had the purpose of seizing their lands and resources into the native communities fought back. virginia where we are, the first colony forbade any man to travel and a few years later and other required the of them to take ars with them to work and attend church or be fined. in 1658 today ordered every cell or home to have a functioning firearm and later provided to government loans to those that couldn't afford to buy a weapon. the governments made locals such as the requirement for the firearm. they were fined from missing ammunition and no men were to appear at a public meeting. they stayed on the books and were created as new colonies as they were founded. the second amendment ratified in shrine an of these as constitutional law. the continuing significance of that freedom to bear arms specified in the bill of rights reveals the cultural roots of

we make an expansion in our state. i am glad we did. 40,000 more alaskans are covered as a result of that. our legislature passed an insurance program, the cost of the premium down by 20%. that is very significant but we work together in the legislature and with the federal government. bringing insurance down is a big deal. we only have one carrier left in alaska. we have to watch that carefully. what i would love to see and that is why i enjoy working with my fellow governors, one a republican, one a democrat, no reason we can't - there should not be party lines on this issue. how did we get the quality of care we need at lower cost and people are covered. for me it is all about progress. we have an opportunity as governors. these roll downhill. they coming to us eventually. we need to be part of that solution. when our phones ring, people provided coverage, there is a problem with healthcare they call us, that is our job. we are engaged in this to make sure the process is not just made of winners and losers. you plan

does not want a expansion of israeli influence in syria -- an expansion of iranian influence in syriathat support has caused major frictions between washington and turkey. washington could do without any major escalation between other outside powers in syria. genie: russia has involvement. it is finding itself in a bind. >> this escalation between iran and israel is even more complex for russia. -- as has emerged at the the preeminent outside player in the syrian crisis. the interesting thing is russia has cultivated the syrian-iranai ian dimension but it has also cultivated israel. the u.s. has not cultivated all besides. putin has built a report with military and israeli activity in syria has almost certainly been coordinated with the russian military presence in syria. an escalation between israel and iran is not good for russia because russia does not want to drop israel. continue those ties with netanyahu and continue its ties with tehran and damascus. it does not want to have to choose. genie: thank you. has claimed victory against the islamic state over the last month. rebuildi

five, removal of the expansion at the second floor. my understanding from reviewing the case and watching that hearing today is that the original proposal on what was approved under the variance originally the entire stair structure to access both levels of the deck was on the north side, near the northern property line. the original proposal and the original variance approval moved that all to the south property line. and because this was basically a complete demolition and reconstruction of these rear stair, the new construction had to be up to code, which meant fire wall along that south property line. part of the changes that this board made was to move that stairway back to the north side to access the deck from grade to the first level. however, there is still a stairway requirement to get from that first level of deck to the second level of deck and the second floor to the third floor. that remained on the south side. and the fire wall on the south side was part of the plans that were approved in the variance. they were part of
