the streets in france...rony for britain leaving now is that at the time of this ridiculous campaign for brexit began, they said that europe is falling apart, all europe is not the future, france is dilapidated. now suddenly we see a vision where for one thing the european union is growing faster than we are, we are at the back of the line for g7 growth. but france and germany look very united, very strong. europe seems to have new strength and energy and enthusiasm, and we have been left behind. we are the ones who are going to feel like the outsiders, unimportant. we will be the flyover zone for anybody else. nobody will come and talk to us, they will be going to germany and paris. i think what eunice says about the streets, it seems far away, but it is so important, and it is what links two people who are so unalike, which is emmanuel macron and donald trump. they were both elected by amazing disaffection and anger at the grassroots level. if they don't succeed, where is that anger going to go? this is som

troops entering france for world war i. a lot of sort of military pomp and circumstance happening today and then tomorrow during that parade as well. but this relationship i do think as we watch these leaders walk together here, is certainly one to watch, particularly given what president trump has said in the past about france. remember on the campaign, he called it a disaster. when he pulled out of the paris climate agreement, he said he was elected to represent the people of pittsburgh, not paris. i'll tell you, president macron had words just as sharp for president trump. remember after that, macron said, hey, lease make the planet great again, a little bit of a jab at maga, at the make america great again slogan that president trump has owned. i think this will be an interesting day. we'll wait to see what develops out of this meeting. we think a precedent holds we'll get a readout of what they discussed, any sort of policy issue moving forward or coming out of this regarding partnership when it comes to counterterrori

city a gift from the people of france. i have been the curator here at the national world war i museum and memorial since 1990, and in that time i have developed an incredible passion for learning about the war, and especially about the people who were in the war itself because none of them are left to tell us their stories anymore. we have to present to the public through the objects that they left what their lives were like, how they were affected by the world war, and what were the things that they would like to have had remembered about them. so to me that's really the most important part of my job, because it was the humanity that was important to our story here. the other thing about the story here of the museum that i've always been very proud of is that war is not glorified here. on the contrary, it is shown as one of the most horrible undertakings that people can do to each other. so for me being here at the time that i've been the curator here is to learn about the people, learn how they suffered and how they exc
