states foreign policy ward totalitarianism with an emphasis on world war ii, the cold war, and american involvement in the middle east. this is part of a series hosted by ames james madison program, the association for the study of free interests constitutions, and texas tech university. this program is an hour and a alf. >> joining us on american history tv is evan davis. >> good to be here. >> take us back to the issues the court would decide. >> the basic issue the court was going to decide was whether the court had to turn over tape recordings that had been made at the white house that had bven subpoenaed by the special prosecutor. ed special prosecutor was a key player. the other key player was the house judiciary committee, chaired by peter vidino, because they had subpoenaed many of the same tape recordings, and they were also eager to get those ecordings. the third three player was the president and his council, james st. clare that were resisting the production of these tache recordings. and since your listeners are going to be listening to the oral argument, let me quickly review the for issues that the court is going to be deciding. whether question is

ward is not a death sentence. both countries have declared public health emergencies. some schools are closed. there are also some border crossings closed. these, james, with countries in virtual lockdown. >> brown: debora patta in johannesburg. thank you very much. c.i.a. director john brennan apologized today after an internal investigation determined the agency had spied on staff members of the united states senate. something brennan had long denied. more on that now from bob orr in washington. >> reporter: it's the spies versus the senate. in january, the c.i.a. accused intelligence committee staffers of improperly accessing classified files while investigating the c.i.a.'s harsh interrogations of al qaeda prisoners. senators fired back accusing the c.i.a. of spying on the committees' investigatorring, an allegation c.i.a. director john brennan flatley denied. >> as far as the allegations of, you know, c.i.a. hacking into, you know, senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. we wouldn't do that. i mean that's-- that's just beyond the--, you know, the scope of reason. >> reporter: but the c.i.a.'s own inspector general determined t
