-jordan defense cooperation act. this bill authorized the administration to enter into an m.o.u., a memorandum of understanding, with jordan. why? to increase our military cooperation with jordan and to provide the kingdom with increased f.m.f. assistance. it also allowed jordan to be included in a list of close and trusted allies that are eligible for streamlined and expeediated defense sales. why is that important? because jordan is on the front lines in the fight against terror, and we rely heavily on jordan's cooperation. that bill also authorized the administration to increase our economic support for the kingdom. we recognize the great contributions that jordan has made in response to the syrian refugee crisis. since the assad regime began its campaign of destruction, murdering over half a million people in the process, millions of syrians have fled their war-torn nation. hundreds of thousands, if not over a million syrians have crossed into the border into jordan seeking refuge from the fighting. for a country

>> it has a complication for jordan.nt, with the administration over the past year. and our position was that, look, we understand that this is something that is important to the president. it was a campaign promise. but the subject of jerusalem has to be part of a comprehensive solution for israelis and for palestinians. the decision was taken, as you all know. it has created a backlash, because it's frustrated the palestinians where they feel that there isn't an honest broker. i would like to reserve judgment, because we're still waiting for the americans to come out with their plan. but tremendous sympathy to where the palestinians are feeling. and jerusalem is such an emotional subject for everybody. and i think we have to look to the future, what we want for jerusalem. is jerusalem a city that ends up dividing us, which i think would be catastrophic for mankind? or is it a city of hope that brings us together? it is important to jews, christians, and muslims. if you remember his holiness pope francis's message at ch

jordan: the fundamentals, tom.rrencies and purchase power parities, if inflation is running high, that reduces any roads the power of the currency. you have a trade deficit that is wider and it got wider thanks to the higher consumption of the u.s. consumer. that's a drag of outflows of dollars so the fundamentals should drive it. theou zoom out and go to 1970's, the dollar does about six or seven year cycles. we are in a cycle now where it was very overvalued thanks to the fed being one of the first central banks to hike. the third factor you have to take into account is that there might be a positive u.s. story. if everywhere else is doing quite well as well, those currencies tend to appreciate versus the dollar, which has moved very high on the very long-term chart. we are seeing an unwind of that said first and catch up from the central banks. tom: let's go back to the chart and i can zoom because it's logarithmic. tim o'brien will explain in the quiz later today, but here's the basic strong dollar. nejra? nejr

while our earlier i talked with martin millions from the aid organization care in amman in jordan and i asked him given the reports of so many casualties are hospital in hospitals an eastern ghouta quick to deal with this influx of badly hurt people. yeah absolutely not i mean what we're witnessing is is this situation and he's told that had been already difficult before it to some area that was besieged by the government forces since almost four years and the last years and has even intense the far right. we were hardly able to bring in any medication no food so the area we're struggling the four hundred thousand people inside the war would be an extremely serious situation before and now with that military escalation really broad and not only are suffering for the people and the areas by no means a great way to deal with that make this very concrete for us describe the situation of the civilians on the ground are there shelters where they can hide what do families do when bombs start raining down on them. they have basically nowhere to go this area is besieged you consciously anywhe
