but kuwait's a free country today. and saudi arabia was not invaded. , it's nots inappropriate to ask for people to pay a fair share of the cost. and in particular now, we are having a debate in the nato context over appropriate allocation of defense expenditures. and here's it's really - it's interesting. in 2014 in the obama administration, the nato countries voluntarily agreed that their target for defense expenditures would be 2% of gdp, a target they would all commit to meet by 2024, 10 years later. when the trump administration came in, that commitment achieved a much higher salience than in the obama administration. i think all would agree on that. nato secretary-general stoltenberg has reported that, as a result of the pressure that's been applied, aggregate nato expenditures for defense from january 20, 2017 forward have increased by over $100 billion. now, that's ex-the united states. that's a very significant increase, even though many countries still are nowhere close to 2% and don't have a path to get to i

kuwait's government deported the 16—year—old girl but has taken no action against the woman who tried after naming an unchanged team for saturday's rugby world cup final against south africa. our sports news correspondent, andy swiss, is in tokyo where he's met fans who are going to extraordinary lengths to be at the match. today they were strolling the streets of tokyo, but soon they could have the world at their feet. england's players relaxed, but ready. their preparations are almost complete. an unchanged team for the final. hardly surprising after their win over new zealand. and if that was some display — well, south africa, watch out. 0h, we can definitely play better. there's no doubt about it, and the players know that. yeah, i've been so impressed by the preparation of the players throughout the tournament, particularly this week. there is a steeliness about them but also a nice, relaxed feeling, because they know they've done the work. but if it's been some journey here for the players, well, how about these two fans? mark and sue farrell drove some 12,000 miles to get here

it done we go in and we free kuwait. at that point, from the political right in marshallton, it is march on baghdad. he said no, we are not going to do that. we are not, have mission creep. we're not going to lose the coalition. we need to align the entire world against saddam peered we even have the russians looking at this information, believe it or not come about the radar they sold saddam. that is how much confidence he created in the world that we would deal with us. iraq is a bulwark against iran. we are not going to baghdad. we may not like him but we are not going to widen the roar. we are there for -- we're not quite to widen the war. we are thereto free kuwait. it shows he knew how to keep fish and creep under control. at the same time, -- how to keep mission creep under control. at the same time he knew how to accomplish the mission because we got every thing we needed plus more. ask ordinary story. dr. bradburn: talk about the leadership training you have been through, at the national war college. we have a c

ever since its inception, carried out terrorist attacks inside the kingdom of saudi arabia, bahrain, kuwait, lebanon, as well as european countries and beyond. it is the same regime which assassinated a number of saudi diplomats in thailand in 1980 and 1990 and is responsible for the assassination in 2011 of a saudi diplomat in karachi. may they all rest in peace. also in that same year, the regime tried to assassinate the kingdom's ambassador to the united states. it is that regime which in 2005 slayed the prime minister of lebanon in the heart of beirut. this approach, unfortunately, continues, as we witnessed in recent years when this regime tried to conduct terrorism in france and then to mark, and -- france and denmark, and not a day goes by without witnessing its terror in yemen, lebanon and other countries in this region. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, the latest attacks and aggression have exposed the iranian regime to the entire world. we are dealing with a rogue and terrorist regime that continues to threaten international peace and security. it is also jeopardizing energy s

and there is question those troops will move over to kuwait.ion if we have issues with shipping lane traffic, the u.s. may not play the role it had where tankers kept the shipping lanes open. questions about how will we use those forces there in terms of the types of attacks, questions about will those systems work, will those even have worked against those drones there is even a concern that the drone technology in particular, we do not have adequate defenses >> we don't know what these capabilities can be detoured yet the oil market keeps slipping >> absolutely. prices now down 16 to 18%. >> have retraced we said five years ago, oil can be a leading indicator of unrest in the middle east now oil is a lagging indicator the middle east can be a much more volatile situation reflected in oil prices. oil catches up only when you have something truly dramatic like september 14. it doesn't mean in any way the situation, it means the market's attention is focused on other issues and data. if you look at the chinese oil data for september, it was very

you had the entire international community united, you could get him out of kuwait without americanhe area. second of all, i helped lead the opposition to the disastrous war in iraq. [applause] sen. sanders: ok? -- if you go back to what theid on the floor of house, what i talked about is the destabilization that would take place. you don't have to be a genius or an expert in foreign policy to understand you were laying the groundwork for massive destabilization and what ended up bringing about was the creation of isis and so many horrors in that part of the world. so i think, first of all, what we have got to do, and i do not profess to have any magical solutions. a lot of good people have worked on these issues for decades, but i think for a start, the united states cannot do it alone. it requires international cooperation. [applause] sen. sanders: and second of all, at a time when we are seeing right now in lebanon, and iraq uprisings, massive hundreds of thousands of people standing up against corruption, i think what we as a nation, as americans have got to do is do everything

the united states first through desert shield and then through storm, push the iraqis out of kuwait and liberated the country and moved on from there. president bush 41, decided in a very early stage that the ladies were way to pay a very substantial part of deliberation to the country. they were going to live in fine hotels in london and not there. i'm sure that caused another issue as well. the countries like japan and europe and others. senior american officials, vice president and secretary of jim o baker, sick cheney, center of the world to raise money to pay for the deliberation. they fell a little embarrassed by it. it was certified to say in your shares how many of her billion was. they called it the tin cup exercise because as i say, they were a little embarrassed by it but i thank the historical record would reveal that we mayday profit. a smallha profit. we hadad our costs reimbursed. some people would say that's just mercenary. i suppose it is. the coit is the free country today. in saudi arabia was not invaded. my.is that it's not inappropriate to ask people to pay a fair s

transit through iraq they're not allowed to stay and then we're hearing that they may well go to kuwait in the south which is a significant distance away from northeast and syria i think the problem is the language that the u.s. have used what they've said is that the u.s. forces will come back to. in western iraq and mount operations against syria from there and against eisel from there and that seems to the iraqis know what the iraqis have actually said is that we are going to meet with the prime minister and the foreign minister will meet with marcus per the secretary of defense and we are hoping for some clarity on exactly what this deal means that should be a press conference in the coming hours we'll find out exactly what both parties and what agreement they've come to then right and wrong caught up with the latest from back at enron thank you. all the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine has wrapped up 10 hours of testimony as part of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump democrats leading the depositions a william taylor provided the clearest account that the u.s. president pressure
