okay, i'm officially in hanoi now. magic. spicy, wonderful broth with tomatoes and herb and noodles and fresh snails. plump and delicious. look at those beauties. come to me, plump little love mussel. hanoi, capital city of vietnam. 7.5 million people live here in the winter. it's chilly and damp in the summer. hot humid subtropical, the boulevards and many of the buildings are french, but it's heart and soul is always, always vietnamese. americans coming here as tourists for the first time, especially veterans of the war, are shocked by how friendly the place is. people are genuinely happy to see you. this is hanoi's old quarter, but it's looking less and less old these days. this area has changed, though, in the irish slash czech themed pub next door. vietnam is a young country. almost half of vietnamese are under the age of 30. few are every year even remember what they call here. the american war those years were a defining time for just about everyone, vietnamese or american, who lived through them. and though there are

we did very little bombing of hanoi, of hipong, off the red river valley. either we bomb the hell out of those rice patties and available by the dmv. so i just made a couple of comments that went on at lowe's. that was possibly the heaviest bombing in the history of the world. we did so much bombing there. what good it did, lbj would not allow ground troops to act as observers. so we didn't really know how effective the bombing was. we all heard stories of what special forces did. but by themselves, they were able to cover the whole country to see what kind of bombing was going on. that's why i made those comments. >> thank you. all right. >> let's give them a round of applause, please. >> well, i just want to thank you all. marvelous panel. likewise, dynamite. i started out by showing you this theme on the cover. transforming for a complex world. i think you've seen complex worlds. you've heard about them. i think we're in one. so you can take the trends, and the lessons learned. and i believe you can apply them today. so that's why, i think we're talking

north vietnam, we bomb we did very little bombing of hanoi of play pong of the red river valley. it pretty you know, we know we bombed the hell out of those rice paddies and those water buffalo by the dmz. so i just made a couple of comments about some the bombing that went on. and most there was possibly the heaviest bombing in the history of the world. we we did so much warming. what good it did. lbj would not allow troops into launch to access observers. so we really didn't know how effective the bombing was. analogs you know, we've all heard stories of what the special forces. but you know, by themselves, you know, they they were unable to really you know, you don't cover the whole country to see what kind of bombing was actually going on. that's why i made those comments. thank you. all right. let's give them a round of applause, please. well, i just want to thank you all. marvelous panel. likewise. dynamite i started this by showing you the theme on the cover, transforming a complex world. i think you've seen complex worlds. you've heard about them. i think we're in one and

our embassy in hanoi was hit by a typhoon on september 7th which brought intense rainfall, flooding and landslides to the region for two days and claims hundreds of innocent lives. the caribbean and south america had the warmest january to august ever. our embassy had to relocate 19 diplomatic families in september due to dangerous fires and associated smoke and of course just since august the gulf of mexico and gulf states of florida and the east coast have experienced incredibly severe storms, two category 5 hurricanes, billions in property damage and many lives lost. again, we know of the fast economic and human toll that the earth's warming and more frequent and severe longworth house office building events are having on global population, farming and basic subsistence and in so many facets of daily life. in fact, nearly $300 billion in 2,023 and lost revenue and damage due to severe longworth house office building impacts but it is the climate and security concerns that are growing more real and more present by the day. we see the climate crisis increasing the severity of humanitar

before we go, other news in the headlines: 11 people have died in a fire in a karaoke bar in hanoi onooking for any other suspects at this time. andrew and tristan tate failed to pay taxes on their business, and face charges of rape, human trafficking, and criminal gain. andrew tate said the case was outright theft. at least 13 people have died after a crowded passengerferry capsized off the indian coast near mumbai. the vessel was en route to elephanta island — a popular tourist site — when it was hit by a navy speedboat that was conducting engine trials. 99 people have been rescued, many have been taken to nearby hospitals. the indian navy said the speedboat experienced an engine malfunction, adding that it regretted the tragic loss of lives. that's all we have time for on this edition of newsday. stay with bbc news. business today is up next. hello. after the overnight rain across england and wales, thursday promises to bring lengthy spells of sunshine. it'll be a little on the chilly side, particularly across the north of the uk with a noticeable breeze, but overall, not a bad day

. >> laura: hanoi jane to the very end.> living in a bubble, laura. she claimed california is not a far left place. what planet is this woman living on? she admitted she reads only two papers and she's never watched fox news. maybe she should give it a try and see how the country actually operates, thinks, reacts to the breaking news of the moment. she could learn a lot. >> laura: raymond, i'm really going back into film lore. she should stay on golden pond. [laughter] >> you were on golden pond this weekend, or maybe you should think about going there after that loss at texas a&m. that was pretty ugly. >> laura: that was brutal. >> i heard you went up to college station. >> laura: that was brutal. i'm telling you, they have such amazing spirit. everyone knows i am a bama fan but now i'm an adopted aggie fan. he had a lot of fun, the kids and i. >> notre dame won. i'm happy. >> laura: bama has a shot for the playoffs, unless they're already winning and i miss that deadline. raymond, thank you. "on golden pond." at the next,

>> iended in 2019 when president trump walked out of negotiations taking place in hanoi.as a result of those negotiations and the trump administration realized the kim jong unwas all talk and not walk away from his nuclear program. as a result of that we pretty much broke off any thought that some nuclear deal is going to be made. when president trump took power kim was testing short and long range missiles and developed very conciliatory tone. this time he has a confrontational tone and recognizes he is competing with a war in ukraine, war in the middle east and china's aggression in the pacific. he is competing for attention. likely that's what he is trying to get here. what is he really after? he wants to be accepted as a nuclear power as the other nuclear powers in the world are accepted by the international community and wants normal trade relations and removal of the sanctions even though he gets around the u.n. sanctions because russia and china help him out in terms of back during those sanctions. he really wants normal economic relations. that's what he is attemp

i think he'll be very resistant after the fiasco in hanoi to actually make a deal.ut i think this means it's always going to be partly the case, but this means that south korea won't be in that process at all, which is going to make people rather unhappy in seoul, whether they're on the conservative side or the progressive side of politics. >> interesting. i have a final question in terms of what this means for nato. you know, over the last couple of months, years i should say, in the wake of the russian aggression in ukraine, there's conversations about whether nato can expand a little more into asia. whether that's having offices there as opposed to, of course, expanding membership. we saw a couple of criticism, critical comments, really, off the back of those discussions. what do you think is likely to happen here in terms of nato itself strengthening its partnership with asian nations? >> well, i mean, clearly -- i mean, there's been a -- i mean, both south korea and japan have recently, if you want, strengthened their relationship with nato. and seoul now has a

at the same time, he henry kissinger negotiating with russia, with china and with hanoi to get a decent interval deal from the communists which would mean that when once nixon finally did bring the troops home either late in 72 or early 73, once his was secure, the communists would wait a year or two before taking over saigon and making the entire country of vietnam a communist state. so it's it's chilling but deeply educational to listen to nixon and kissinger plot this consciously as a way they they describe as a way to preserve america's credibility in the world. but at the time, of course, kissinger was telling moscow, beijing and that you know, we'll we'll you take it over and nixon will not intervene as long as you wait a or two after we complete our withdrawal. and at the same time what they were mainly getting was a more political, credible in america. so when the fall of saigon actually occurred in april of 1975. it a very predictable result of and kissinger was policies. but they did manage to offload the culpability for it onto. the democrats and the congress and on to the so

and i also quote the foreign minister of vietnam who said, look, the americans tried to destroy hanoi through bombing it couldn't do that. but we almost destroyed our own city by keeping rents too low. so rent control has very pernicious effects. it's where is try it out. it causes deterioration and overall prices go up. it is pretty much every economist that looks at rent control, considers it a failure. and it does not work. and yet cities continually try impose rent control because they think it'll be a good thing, at least in the short term, while they're running for reelection. what happened in massachusetts with rent control in 2004 when rent control was banned in massachusetts. prices of properties up. prices of housing went down by the price of property. the investment potential property went up, but the housing costs did not rise commensurately after that. and in just the other day, there's a brand new example in argentina. rent control was so it was up in the rent control was banned and rents are now going down. and there's a massive influx of new buildings. so we from histo

korea, we lived through three summits between kim jong-un an president trump, one in singapore, one in hanoi, and one along the dmz. this was around the time of those "beautiful letters" and things like that, so things can change quickly and diplomacy just as they can change -- quickly in diplomacy just as they can change in real life as we saw earlier this week in south korea. >> i was going to ask between the difference between -- ask about the difference between quiet diplomacy and public diplomacy, which some of you have commented on already. it is sometimes -- there are moments when you as a diplomat want to deal with things quietly. that may be the more effective way to actually bring about change, particularly when a government does not want to do what you want to do, but on the other hand, the price of quiet diplomacy often is that the public doesn't understand what you are doing, and public perceptions can be quite different. so i'm wondering how you think about that sort of balance between quiet diplomacy and public diplomacy. >> i was thinking about that, dan, when i read the chap

hanoi's mission was extended when tensions in the middle east flared. they headed to the red sea where they exemplified our nation's commitment to helping others in need when they provided timely rescue assistance to iranian mariners in distress. kevin, i wish you fair winds and following seas wherever life may take you. please know that for all you have done for our state and our country, you will always be -- and hawaii will always be your home. to erin and the kids, john michael, andrew, lilly and samuel, mahalo for sharing your husband and father with us and for being the rock of support he has always needed to truly go for broke. mahalo and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: please take all side bar conversations off the floor. for what purpose does the gentleman from missouri seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> thank you, mr. speaker. earlier this week the house passed the water resources and development act which i
