in u.s. sports history and global sports history. on the end here, we've got frank fitzpatrick. some of you may be very familiar with him. he's a native philadelphian and has been a philadelphia enquirer sports writer since 1980. he's been a writer for the eagles and penn state football and covered 1980s olympic games. first i want to set the scene here in philadelphia in 1968 in terms of the sports world, so i'm going to turn it over to frank to talk about what was going on here in the sports world at that time. >> well, first of all, in 1968, philadelphia sports fans' focus was much more exclusively focused on philadelphia. it was much more difficult to follow national sports, there weren't as many games on television as there are now, there was no espn. you had to really work at it to be a sports fan, especially if you wanted to be a sports fan beyond philadelphia. having said that, just to give you a quick capsule of what was happening here that year. as i said about the local focus, the

in the really good old alberto safe for free from a scene in nicaragua but there's no end in sight to months of unrest. hello once again we'll take a look at weather conditions across asia and in northeastern areas see this area of cloud just moving across northern parts of china thus being responsible for some really heavy rain here the last twenty four hours i think it's like to be dry in the forecast in fact as you move across towards japan is looking fine here across much of the country move very hot and humid temps in the mid thirty's for many fine conditions across the korean peninsula and a frontal system likely to give some heavy rain for beijing and that's led to persist here in the course of choose they still fine for both north and south korea and still hot and humid for japan as we head down into central and southern parts of china you see a massive cloud here we've had some very heavy rain all the way towards me i'm our big rainfall totals here and likely to continue indeed is looking pretty wet across the bulk of indo china vietnam also seeing heavy downpours and heavy r

the in the. doctor most fact i was iraq's national security adviser through the west years of the war. he met james taylor's high level security meetings. jim steele for me was a mysterious guy. who sat in the meeting and he can. hold this chair and suck that. he did not introduce himself to me and you don't get anybody in these meetings there were only only sciences. myself minister of defense a mystery. and full stop. who is very respected by them and they listen to what he has to say. one of the main bases of operation for the commandos was the ancient city of samarra the area was a center for the iraqi insurgency. it was also adnan talbot's home child and he was determined to inflict a major defeat on the insurgents and their sympathizes. with jane steele advise him but none talbot's commandos fled to the city going door to door taking hundreds of men from their homes to the interrogation center. u.s. army medic neil smith was in somalia during the months long struggle to control the city. we

will it be important in syria or yemen in someplace in the horn of africa but it's unclear. no doubt the ideology will wear but frankly, the situation may be different from this first avenue in 2012 is that the number of european foreign fighters were returned to europe and has been time in europe this year in the uk and france and germany and i was just in austria and a hotbed of isis terrorism. 370 austrians went to syria and iraq and a certain percentage have come back but the most likely to see you the first wins of a bit of a revival in europe with foreign fighters who have returned may be inspiring some individuals were radicalized at home and have traveled to syria and iraq and the targets maybe us targets overseas as well as the domestic targets and the fact that we have few citizens who traveled overseas to isis land and even returned gives a certain measure of protection however, virtual plotters and individuals who were radicalized in the west were looking to do something now be manipulated or operationalized overseas and those of the things i'm most concerned abo

in 1985, 5 states. in 1986, 3 states. in 1987, 4 states. in 1988, three states. in 1989, seven states. in 1990, two states. in 1991, one state. and again, i remembered what i told myself years earlier. as long as you get one state every year, be happy. so i was very grateful to have north dakota's one ratification in 1991. now i would attribute the slowing down of the process to the war in the persian gulf, which was occupying the attention of the nation in the year 1991. had that not occurred, i could have gotten perhaps missouri. but i was happy with north 1990 one and i was particularly happy with it because, oddly enough, in their 1987 session and in their 1989 it by onehey defeated vote. i couldn't believe it. it would pass the north dakota house of representatives by a comfortable margin. numberere an unusually of names, but i did not let that bother me because it past the north dakota house of representatives. it went to the north dakota senate and field by one vote. i thought, oh, that's just an aberration. when 1989 rolls around, there it passes. then it

we e see it in southeast asia, in africa, in central europe the u.s. pulls back and in moves russia, here moves china. we heard about the tanks that russia is selling in latin america. we know that they're increasingly meddling politically, economically through propaganda. i wonder, have you asked the president if he's going to bring this up with mr. putin when he meets with him next week? this is going to be a problem, the tanks and other activity. they installed a satellite system in moscow. they're moving in when we're not doing much. africa is now the second place to invest in something. they are putting $2 billion into the ports in peru as part of an investigation in mining, shipping and telecommunications. so even if it is creating dependency, and it's hard for us to counter it or compete with it with a policy, and telling them, you cannot the have a good idea. so i would say, in addition to having you talk about the russian involvement, how can we compete -- and the budget, they want to cut that back all the time. it's already very small, we hav

yesterday in suffolk we saw 33 degrees in sa nton downham. in suffolk we saw 33 degrees in santon downhamnot sure that is necessarily a good idea. we won't... let's not do that. how does this summer compare to others? you say it's not the hottest on record. not yet. compared to 76, it is not the same intensity people what we are seeing is the driest start to the summer in uk on record. as modern—day records go back to about 1961. the problem with 1976, that dry summer was also preceded by months upon months of below average rainfall. this was kept on dropping down and added on the extra heat, 15 consecutive days above 32 degrees. we hadn't seen that quite yet. as pa rt we hadn't seen that quite yet. as part of england actually still on course for their hottestjuly on record. either way, it course for their hottestjuly on record. eitherway, it will go course for their hottestjuly on record. either way, it will go down in the metrological annuals. record. either way, it will go down in the metrological annualsm record. either way, it will go down in the metrological annuals. it is not just

in a win-win. a win for the taxpayer but to get the higher price now to do the repairs to the infrastructure that madam chair was able to put in. secondly, i want to point out that senator cantwell asked about the tax cut and jobs act done for this. i've been told by folks that companies have accelerated their pipeline construction that was planned for the early 20s into these current years because of the five-year depreciation. so they're taking advantage of the tax cut and jobs act built to move these projects now and so midstream is responding to our tax bill so that would be one answer to senator cantwell's problem. the other thing i want to point out is that the delay that occurred in the last administration at the keystone xl pipeline has definitely created a supply constraint. my gulf coast refineries use that oil from the canadian tar sands and from the bakken. the last administration put in constraints and now complaining about higher gas prices when it was a previous administration's poli

in 1880.was the biggest town in the area. certainly, the center of industry in the area. citys the most important at the time. the traditional capital from russia was in kodiak. it moved to sitka. it stayed in sitka for a wild. -- while. congress designated juneau as a capital and it was moved from sitka to juneau. this building was originally constructed for $712,000. foot.dollars square the total cost including all the furnishings was about $1 million. this is a very modest rendition of architecture. it is a masonry building primarily. it is composed of brick, stone, and terra-cotta. it is a very modest building. it is probably because it was originally intended to be a federal building with a territorial component. about three fourths of the building was dedicated to federal offices and federal agencies. the other fourths or one third was dedicated to territorial government. a federal and territorial building which was the title of the building when in 19.9, 1930. there was one distinctive

that was back in germany in 2006. about to with us but the game itself requires a little bit of attention. it does indeed. welcome back to the gulf of finland. they arrived home at 5:50am so some very weary but happy heads. it was a very weary but happy heads. it was a very physical match. you could say that was expected of the last 16. the colombians could have been down to tell —— down to ten men when wilmer barrios connected with henderson. the referee said it was only a yellow card, not a red. many felt it should have been. that was the theme for the colombians. six yellow cards in total. there was also fantastic moments for england in the face of such physicality. a late shot. it did actually lead to the equalising goal. that buys into what gareth southgate was saying, england keeping their composure, showing mental strain. showing real bottle on the performance. that will hold england in very good stead. few days rest and recovery. what will england be doing on that match on saturday? england do train today at h

in 1917 there was a revolution in russia that lasted nearly six years, destroying that empire in bringing about the soviet union. the americans entered the war in 1917, but significant forces did not arrive for months. the british empire used colonial forces in the fight in the middle east with some is -- withn when it british forces. the most significant decision of the empire in 1917 was the transfer of general edmund allenby from the western front to egypt and command of the expeditionary force. the war in the middle east, especially for the british, was all about protecting routes to india and, if possible, finding a soft underbelly for the fighting on the western front. for the ottomans, the emphasis was on protecting constantinople and the dynasty. the british conducted operations directed from all three of the capitals mentioned earlier. the operations at mesopotamia were controlled from delhi. the operations in gallipoli were controlled from london in part. levant operations in were controlled from -- initially, as i mentioned, this attack was made in gallipoli, but once gallipoli

the russian government will use every tool in their book in using international laws in order to try to destroy their opponents. , this the prime examples is not an unusual story, i know there are others. i will leave it at that. >> we will hear about that case in a few moments. what you describe is why we are here. the systematic abuse of our rule of law system. i would like to hear from you, since i know you have to depart. -- vladimir putin equivocates our system. how should we handle these manipulations of our rule of law systems, knowing it will be used to malign us? mr. browder: it has become clear to me and i have made the case , and the government understands this at least, the russian government is corrupt. i have no rule of law. the courts are not independent. therefore, anything coming out of russia has to be looked at with extreme skeptic -- skepticism. any criminal request has to be effectively rejected until it is proven to be legitimate. because what comes out of russia almost uniformly is not legitimate, and the extent that governments and court treat these things, it

the operations in gallipoli were , at least in part, were controlled from london in part.and the operations in levant were controlled from cairo. the ottoman attack of the suez canal generated some impetus for the attack on the ottoman empire. initially, as i mentioned, this attack was made in gallipoli, but then, once gallipoli fell, it was decided to move to the levant along the mediterranean coast. initially, these attacks were stopped at the line at the edge of the sinai desert, and this is where we will begin our operational perspective for tonight's discussion. but first, i want to discuss some of the diplomatic efforts that did so much to create our world today. during gallipoli, an increasing and the increasing passion to defeat the ottoman empire, the british high commissioner for egypt entered a correspondence with sharif hussein of mecca. the sharif wanted to throw off the ottoman yoke, but he wanted british help. the british wanted a replacement for the caliph in constantinople. who better than the custodian of the two holy cities, mecca and medina? it seemed l

and a new twist as well in the whole scenario of what happened in salisbury. yes well i mean i think the first thing we have to say is that this is reporting by the press association as you mentioned they're quoting an unnamed police source but these reports often turn out to be reliable and the source of jesting that the police investigated was sweep up have come up with suspects number of them we understand and that they believe those suspects to be russian the thinking is that this is come about as a result of hundreds of police officers poring over hours and hours of c.c.t.v. footage collected around the site of the poisoning of solsbury in wiltshire in southwest england and related sites where the pair spent time in the hours beforehand and cross matching that c.c.t.v. footage with c.c.t.v. footage collected at airports and ports of entry into the u.k. particularly focused on flights coming in from russia and they obviously feel that they've made a visual connection we don't believe that they've named any suspects they certainly haven't been in the arrest

a cave in 2010, involved with the rescue of people in mexico in 2004, cave. comes to cave diving and rescuing people who are trapped? well, they do cave diving because they like exploring things, so the thing that drives them on is exploration, that is what drives all of us expedition cavers, going where no man has ever been before. and they have been extraordinarily long distances underwater, underground. i mean, they normally use, in the sort of caves they are exploring now, underground scooters, such as the professionalism and the signs of what they are doing that they have back—ups to everything, including the scooters. so they will typically go in ona the scooters. so they will typically go in on a long dive with not only the scooter that they are arriving but a spare scooter that they are towing behind them. everything will be done so that there is redundancy. if something goes wrong, they have got back—up. but that is not appropriate in this place. i slightly disagree with bill, because i think they will have put a line in that they can haul on, becaus
