mr. alexander: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, the senator there delaware -- from delaware is somewhere in the neighborhood. and he has a train to catch in a few minutes. so i ask consent that after i make a few remarks about today's events, the voting today, that the senator from delaware be recognized and following his speaking, that i be recognized again. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. alexander: i thank the president. mr. president, today the senate voted on immigration. immigration is a passionate issue. it affects the lives of people. it affects the american creed which involves the rule of law, which involves the fact that we're a nation of immigrants. it goes to the heart of our country and we have very strong opinions about it. all of us know that. of course, mr. president, that's the reason why we have a united states senate. this is not an issue that the shreveport city council or the nati

attack i want us to listen to what the party leader of the right wing alternative for germany mr alexander dealt with what he had to say about the its beauty. the of the allocation of ministerial post shows that the cd you have completely given up because they're afraid of the s.p.d. membership vote. they promote themselves out ideologically and technically as well as they haven't got any of the main ministries any more classes minister you could say that the c.d.u. is now just an empty vessel you know. i mean those are strong you don't need to make against the conservatives did the c.d.u. the conservatives did they make too many concessions you know what they have kept the ministry that matters most to his voters and that is the interior ministry they've also kept the defense ministry those are two critical member ministries exactly for a little rivers a right wing the interior ministry is going to be beefed up it's going to include a homeland ministry hindmarsh homeland security and again that is exactly what his voters would be looking for they want issues like german cultural identity

mr. alexander. ms. baldwin. mr. bennett. mr. blumenthal. mr. blunt. mr. booker. mr. bozeman. mr. brown.s. cantwell. ms. cantwell. mrs. o-uppercase-letter. -- ms. capito. mr. cardin. >> so this is the actual vote to approve the budget deal. thanks on capitol hill, a lot of times, either work really slowly or really fast. we saw the really slow part from about 1:35, 1:45 in the afternoon, then the senate had some other options where they could have tried this out a little bit longer here. senator rand paul, who put the brakes on the bill earlier in the afternoon and through the evening, has basically relented and so they want very quickly from ending debate on that bill, that procedural vote, to actually voting on the bill itself. this is a straight up or down vote to approve that budget package. the second really important step in resolving this very short, they hoped, government shutdown in the overnight hours here. this will need a simple majority and so if they got, what was it, 72 votes in the procedural vote, it's not going to be a problem to get 51 votes on this. this will pass and

mr. alexander novak and president putin that they will remain committed to the op opec/non-opec declaration. and they have proved this through the high level of conformity to their supply adjustment so i think there's no concern here we're all in the same boat >> some interesting comments from the opec secretary-general barkindo there let's check in on oil since all these comments coming out of opec and the iea this morning. there's been a big move in the oil complex. in the past week it's come off in line with the correction we saw in equities as neil atkinson pointed out when crude touched $70, it looked toppish since then we have come down you can see brent it trading close to 63 now. 62.60, slightly stronger on the day, still about $8 from a week ago. as some of those fundamentals continue to get factored in to supply going forward, you can expect that price to hover around for the time being. >>> other european markets, the picture in europe as far as markets is concerned is gloomier relative to yesterday. dax, cac, mib all struggling to start the day in the positive. ftse 100 is leadi

capital damascus leads to say we can now speak to the russian ambassador himself alexander joins me on the line good evening to you mr ambassador i would like to know first of all what were you asked to discuss with your british counterparts today. well basically the key question was the fulfillment of the real solution of the u.n. security council twenty four one we. of course you know will be disappointed with the statements of the secretary johnson when he spoke yesterday at the parliament and he blamed russia for humanitarian situation and we said this is directly straight straightforward to minister duncan but. the key question was of course the the situation on the ground because it's the whole of course there was allusion is adopted and we subscribed on that but the key question is how to fulfill it because last two days if you take for example eastern ghouta we witnessed around seventy strikes against the muskets thirty people were killed two hundred injured and the jihad immobile. into the damascus you know thinks there were no casualties but this is because that was the they say attacks of the terrorists a

mr. burr: i stated larks mar alexander was nice enough to let me chair both the hearings. we're at least targeting in april to mark up the bill. i said at the beginning of the first markup, the only thing that stands in the way of us and re-authorization is a deep desire by members of the committee or members of congress to take a simple, bipartisan re-authorization and understand that we're opening up an act and that they see this as a train leaving the station and they want to put all sorts of other policy things in it. if that happens, in today's atmosphere, it makes it extremely tough to get across the goal line. because not only are we trying to manage a senate process, we have to game out a house process. so the question is, who goes first? what do you do? do you put certain things in here, you might know that it's the intentions of the administration, they've noted it, to move the management of a stockpile back to h.h.s. i think that's a good thing. that's how i originally envisioned it. had we had somewhere to put it back then other than c.d.c., we might have put i

mr. trump, vladimir putin. joining me now, nbc news national correspondent peter alexander and contributor michael schmidt, reporter at "the new york times." welcome, both. first of all, peter, the president's behavior this weekend, even for a trump weekend at mar-a-lago, was unusually prolific, shall we say, on twitter. >> yeah, andrea, i think that's exactly right. we know from aides they recommended he not play golf the last couple days in the wake of that shooting that took place not far from mar-a-lago, just 40 miles away in parkland, which allowed him a lot of time behind closed doors at his exclusive estate to watch television, and as it would turn out, to fume. we have heard repeatedly from this president over the course of the last year, trying to minimize or dispute any possible russian role in the last election. but after that indictment by robert mueller's team late last week, the president sort of cast it through his own lens, effectively spreading blame to everybody else except to russia in this situation here. some of the tweets were sort of stunning. the president, among other things, saying of russ
