kandahar treasure empowers women. when a woman earns, it gives her power beyond our understanding and imagination. women are always a liability here. their food, their clothing, their health, every aspect of their life has to be taken care of by a man figure in the household. and so now, with women having the ability to earn money, at home even, they now have an opportunity to become an asset to the family. indirectly, we're also changing the social dynamics of the society, and that is an important step to changing women's social reality in the country that we work. one cultural benefit to women in kandahar is that it is beneath the man to ask for monetary assistance from a woman. a man will not ask a woman for money because it will bring down his manhood. women, by the mere fact that they now have money in their hand, are making decisions. they're now earning side-by-side with their men, and that in itself improves self-esteem, because she now knows that she's worth something. and the mothers are now able to negotiat

places like fallujah, ramadi, diallah province in iraq, in afghanistan places like kandahar, and if you'll a special shout-out to some of those who fought in the valley of afghanistan, their good buddies. so this is a very special place. it's very meaningful. we have seen the same families in some cases year after year. we've watched their children grow up, many of them have come up to me this morning for a bit of a chat. what these families want is what military families want across this country. they just want to make sure they are never forgotten. ana? >> barbara starr there at arlington national cemetery. we see the children, the families walking behind you. we know it is open to the public today, and they and all of us want to share their very best and show their respects and honor those who have fallen giving the ultimate sacrifice for our country for our freedoms barbara starr thank you. stay with us. we will come back to barbara as we tim our special memorial day coverage here at this hour. we'll take a quick break and be back in a moment. ok, let's call his agent. i'm coming over

is not unusual to hear the media speak now about our sons and our daughters stationed in baghdad, kandahar, kuwait and other places that are hard to pronounce, let alone find on a map. the air miles these women have traveled there the united states to their duty stations can easily be expressed in hours in flight or miles flown. the historical road women traveled is another story. from 1913 to 1923, daniels was the secretary of the navy. daniels was a native of north carolina, had gone to law school there and passed the bar in 1885. president woodrow wilson appointed secretary daniels in 1913, and his assistant was franklin roosevelt. with war raging in europe, daniels became increasingly concerned about the preparations that they needed to make to insure that the u.s. navy could operate at the maximum efficiency if and when america entered the war. in the early 1917 -- in early 1917 concerned about having enough navy men to man the ships, daniels asked his advisers about having enough navy -- about the word in the navy regs. he said, now, does the asterisk before the word male before be u

that, the youth in afghanistan, especially kandahar we were, would rather have a job in building a well or whatever construction job or whatever that might be, over choosing the taliban. so this is about giving opportunity and because, if we don't provide economic opportunity for the youth, we'll be continually dealing with the threat, radical groups will always require human resources which is the youth, to be able to recruit and keep their enterprises going. we need to deal with the threat and we need to reduce it as well. thank you. >> others? yes, lady in the white. >> i'm a national security reporter based here in d.c. with a company called the cypher brief. building off of that question the trump administration called for budget cuts to u.s. aid maybe u.n. peacekeeping. we'll hear tomorrow when the final budget comes out. do you think nikki haley's desire to evaluate the process and make it more efficient, is a correct way to go about dealing with some of these concerns that you mentioned yourself with your mps -- u.n. peacekeeping and do you think cutting funds for it is efficien

many who have fallen in places we've come to hear about over the years, places like fallujah or kandaharmany different places. permit me a special shout out to those who fought and fell in the corengal and diyala, so many family stories here and we see everyone from grandparents to very small children come here and pay their respects on this memorial day 2017. poppy? >> the ultimate gift so that all of us can continue to live free. barbara starr, thank you for being there for us this morning. >> on this memorial day also, millions of you are traveling by air on some of those flights, heading to the united states. already you have a lot of laptops, ereader, ipads banned from the cabin of the plane, this as the department of homeland security secretary says he might now expand that ban to all international flights in and out of the united states. our aviation correspondent renay marsh has more on that. this is something they've been discussing for a while, but secretary kelly came out and spoke much more explicitly expanding that ban this weekend. do we know why in why it points back to th

i was in pakistan on september 12th and when the taliban fell in kandahar.rism coverage is we get into this lazy pattern, where we take the cell phone footage of the victims running and screaming and it gets played over and over in this endless loop on cable television. i understand cable television has 24 hours a day to fill. and so, they have to use footage. but there is a way in which how are we advancing what the public needs to know? what are we doing that is actually adding to the conversation, other than giving isis and other terrorist organizations what they want? which is a platform and notoriety and fame and it is a way that it has been proven this helps them recruit. >> but it is news, right? >> it is absolutely news. >> and cable news does cover news by the moment. >> it does. but there's better ways to do it. >> michael, how do you do it at npr? >> npr has many of the same challenges you have at cnn and fox, that we're on all the time. one of the important things is, to slow yourself down. take a breath and make sure something you have to say is
