lucian is pointed out very correct way that the best way to address those is through a brac. rack gives you the ability to work with communities and to reduce minimize or ultimately perverse that job loss by utilizing that land base, that facility through some other means. i get the wonderful opportunity to go to monterey and postgraduate work that we do there and seeing the development that has happened. it has taken time but it's been a real success story. that would have been possible if we didn't have brac which was a decision by the department to close it. that's economic piece to me you can turn that around and get people on board with brac because you stand to gain from having that authority. the politicization piece where brac started was trying to address politicization is a little bit in the eye of the beholder to my view. i'm not sure i'm persuaded that there was politicization in the 2000 by round but there are some that believe that is the case. there was a lot of outrage when the clinton administration said i'm going to privatize some of the facilities on the br

we were blessed to have lucian as the assistant secretary, and having knowing basically living brac as a member of the armed service committee, staff on armed service committee. without i will conclude and be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i'm going to talk about the environment for brac on the hill, both big picture and in the current situation. i'm going to start big picture and sort of what is the logic of brac, why did brac ever work and why might it work again. i want to start actually with what i think is the key point which is brac always is hard and it's not popular. it's not something congress likes to do. they key element is addressed to be a champion. there has to be someone in congress who is highly respected who was really taking this on and pushing it forward and of necessity that needs to be someone who chairs one of the two armed services committee, because that's message you need to be in to would serve as the champion. in the past there is folks have served that role. the last 2005 rent it was really senator warner who served in that role, what is inte

well i mean the discussion of the pollution particularly motor cars generated for lucian isn't that big issue presently but it has various aspects in the one aspect is that there are forty five million cars registered in germany and quite a large number of people as using diesel engines and if the diesel engine were prohibited altogether maybe a twenty million people would be barred from driving a car and that of course is a no no and chancellor merkel knows quite well that she cannot untag on the eyes this part of the electorate so that is one aspect the other aspect is that the. automobile industry is one of the strongest pillars of german industry and german automobile exports have been soaring over many years and this is one of the backbones of all economy so we want we don't want to lose it if we lost. a major part of our exports from the motor car industry that would mean is that some of the eight hundred thousand work places in that part of the industry would be in question so there are many aspects which have to be taken into account not the least also the question of clean air

yet i don't think spect any river lucian front to say i think you know it will go on with the same the same thing the same ideas or no because change can be brought by the increase of fifty year of. adults on the t.v. i am sure they will go deal with probably rich. i think that sense it is a change but the main politics will not change because if you see the campaign you have the same parties read the same ideas you have the same people as really. any anywhere will stay after the elections. in deledio. really will be also didn't believe the usual leaders of germany so even. if if he is growing between not being able to change the. balance of german politics but is political. so i think unfortunately this is pretty it will take time to have a change of. policy is what it takes in europe and those inside germany. guy appreciate you coming on to speak to an arty guy mentality is my guest director of the swiss press club thank you. ok now let's look for you at the incumbent chancellor his main rival martin shows he says he's not going to be any more does he really mean it's fun and more ab

he was in the in the front line for doing again to the reading of the lucian's and he's on record as saying very many things about what happened in twenty seventeen and seven. lives in do now because he himself has witnessed election rigging firsthand a fair point before the august elections you asserted that the only way kenyatta could win and stay in office was if you rigged the vote are you going to say that again if he wins this time in october because if so doesn't that make this whole process pointless if you are never going to accept the result. you could not win. by rigging and have been proved right. that you didn't know to win this time around rigged elections and i know it from the kind of support on the ground that he cannot win free and fair elections are going to be good support because there's no way that he can be. direct. and just to be clear they didn't accuse kenyatta of vote rigging they said the electoral commission was not transparent enough but just on kenyatta president kenyatta has promised his pledge to his supporters that even if you win the reelection he w

it is a lucian a provocation a pro occasion that is a douche and then another provocation and we were contemplating as many people raised an issue that we have to think maybe out of the books and it does seem the current sanctions on military drills happening are failing to bring about a possible breakthrough on the potential. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. these sanctions will cut deep and. today's resolution builds on what we're already the deepest cutting sanctions ever leveled against north korea those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. french police along with their families are protesting over the working conditions of authorities across the country while now rally in paris is already under way officers say among other issues they are frustrated with the growing number of violent protests the have to do with. truth. well the illustration of how unhappy french officers are with their jobs four hundred twenty riot control officers reportedly failed to turn up to police a labor law protest and choose t

lucian camera allows them to find ideal habitats for the butterfly larvae or what they call micro habitat structures suitable at playing locations for the butterflies can be predicted with eighty percent probability the researchers hope the drone will help them protect these fragile habitats better. so drones are more than expensive toys or just for maximizing profits they're also tools for research and can help to make the food we eat better for us and the environment. it all goes to show that from on high the world looks like a very different place. and heading up into the air could provide the solution to other complicated problems like in this next report. we're generating offshore wind power requires a hefty investment and a massive amount of building material a wrecked in a single turbine can mean one thousand tons of concrete steel and electrical gear. it's easier on land but almost all the good sides are taken and resistance to what many see as a blot on the landscape is growing could wind energy be generated more easily and in conspicuously instead of large installations at fixed

coalition it was the leftist party and the greens and the people were simply not ready for such a queer lucian and he lost much more than he expected and i think that carried on into the elections in the next state in the biggest state of our federal republic that is an author i breastfed where they lost again and they lost one small in the elections of the northern state of flux or coached and so the effort of mr schultz to catch up with the christian democrats have failed and then he was knocking for any kind of a new approach where he could catch up and apparently he hasn't done so the chancellor won the first t.v. debate but refused to take part in a second why well i think. the chancellor. thought it was necessary to at least be ready to accept one such debate but she wasn't on the other hand i mean she is the leading politician in the country and in the ways she could dictate the rules and dictating the routes meant that she would expose herself once to this but not for a second time. merkel's party isn't poised to win an outright majority to rate her choice of coalition partner will inf

lucian the design good pyongyang so much it's important to know that there is anger coming from north korea despite the fact that this resolution is somewhat watered down than the want to original circulated by the united states the draft first circulated by the usa included a full oil and natural gas embargo against north korea that section was removed now the new resolution the one that was passed it simply caps the amount of oil and natural gas that north korea can import furthermore the original draft of the resolution specifically targeted kim jong un the leader of north korea it would ban him from traveling at a travel ban and it would have frozen his international assets and that section of the resolution would just drop completely the resolution that was passed was much more mild than the one that was proposed by the united states and it's interesting to note that we've heard an interesting change in tone coming from u.s. leaders let's take a listen they will be met with fire fury the shield stands guard. and the sword stands ready a massive military response the response both
