a turkish newspaper identifies fifteen saudi nationals police want to question about the disappearance of saudi journalist. and we shall carry this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up calling it quits u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley announces she's resigning after eighteen months on the job. south africa's finance minister steps down in connection with the corruption probe into former president jacob zuma. a new generation of voters with the potential to make drastic changes to the u.s. political landscape. and saudi journalist who disappeared after going to his country's consulate in istanbul was apparently killed on the orders of his government that's according to the new york times which cites a senior turkish official jamal khashoggi has been missing for a week this is the last time he was seen alive when he was entering the saudi consulate a turkish newspaper daily has published photos of fifteen saudis who bully who police suspect rather may have been involved in his disappearance local media reports say the group flew to istanbul on two planes and into the consul

nationals and 1200 saudi nationals. we are developing and delivering vision 2030 in 2018 and have been doing it for decades. and it is working together that's really important. moving on to countering extremism, perhaps not quite as long in term of the has tree of that, but it has certainly become hugely important over the last couple of decades. in fact, so important that the united nations came out with a united nations security resolution, 2178, looking at countering violent extremism. two years later the secretary general to the united nations again put forward a co comprehensive plan of action to counter that extremism and called upon all the nations to develop their strategies to be able to counter that extremism. it's been done by varying nations. i know in a the uk government just in july of this year set up a commission to look at how we can counter extremism and reduce the radicalization of our population. again, the kingdom of saudi arabia has to make some great strides in that area. and also the united arab

how can a national identity exists in a nation that is a fundamentally set up by imperial powers? >> so i didn't call donald trump a genius across-the-board. [laughing] i mean, he's obviously very ignorant of policy and not thoughtful and so forth, but he does at this very intuitive sense of what a certain social sector and the united states feels and thinks. and he did that and what with r politicians did not so that's the sense in which i was saying he had a very good political instinct which by the think he continues to exhibit and so i think if you're a democrat you ought to be a little bit careful about underestimating that. but the question, so of course these nations were set up by imperial powers. just like in sub-saharan africa, if this regional actually alleged organized itself based on sort of indigenous social forms, he wouldn't have states that offer you have tribes, ethnic groups, a lot of social units that were really not viable any kind of modern international order with some exceptions, iran, egypt, turkey. these are actually real nationstates, but the others real

what about a national cemetery. we always wear out and put the confederate flags on it the 3000 soldiers there on memorial day. >> a court case regarding , putnal cemeteries individuals out flags on tombstones. particularly, what we can answer on the memorial association. attended by the confederates. they are usually in private out of individuals but as the court decision. it was a lot to stem of the supreme court that treated the confederate dead and the national cemeteries as american soldiers and therefore only the american flag is allowed to fly. the confederate monument stands just outside federal properties. that is sort of a memorial park outside of a federal property for the confederate dead. of applying to all the cemeteries. the veterans administration. with regards to confederate dead in the cemeteries. and allowable for them. >> those were the best flag.tations about a what does it matter? and what i adding -- mean by that is the emilio took it down in 2000 and is compromised -- immediately took it down

with national security. if you're going to put all of your trust in these executive branch. and say to the other branches this is for the executive branch to decide. what you are saying is trump just to us -- the site with national security means. i don't see how you can defend that now. >>> i take issue -- this particular president of national security. in particular disclosures of information that he -- house intelligence committee are making. there is information that is being disclose -- and other intelligence information. clearly being politicized. that is not the way the system is supposed to work. intelligence information politicized in this way. it is deeply disturbing. it certainly does raise a lot of questions about that authority of the president. one potential consequence -- the court to do end up -- congress steps up to some sort of role. the president -- believe the presidency much weaker. >> my question is although certain -- whistleblowers do exist -- when able whistleblower by actual definit

ambassador to the united nations has tended her resignation it has been accepted. my colleague kemal with the news great. thank you for that peter we live here in studio fourteen zero down to zero income of santa maria welcome to news grid that breaking news the diplomatic shock at the united nations nikki haley u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has resigned she will leave her job at the end of the year president trump says she's done an incredible job why the departure though would not speak to our correspondent in the u.s. shortly also on the grid the disappearance of jamal khashoggi turkey gets the go ahead to search the saudi consulate in istanbul which we now know definitively presho de ended thanks to the c.c.t.v. pictures.

across the nation, the american people are growing in vigilance.ith a newfound appreciation for our administration's actions, and the president's leadership, to reset america's economic and strategic relationship with china. americans stand strong, behind a president that is putting america first. under president trump's leadership, i can assure you, america will stay the course. china should note that the american people and their elected officials in both parties are resolved. as our national security strategy states, we should remember that competition does not always mean hostility, nor does it have to. the president has made clear that we want a constructive relationship with beijing. where our prosperity and security grow together, not a part. while beijing has been moving away from this vision, china's rulers can still change course, and returned to the spirit of reform and opening. that characterize the beginning of this relationship decades ago. the american people want nothing more than the chinese people to serve nothing less. the great

but also like nationalism where people believe they are members of the nation that is not politically recognized so they demand that is a legitimate demand in many cases like ukraine or, georgia but that can turn into the aggressive desire to dominate other countries. and finally in our society with that established liberal democracy t we are blessed to enjoy as citizens recognition of dignity and declaration of independence by granting us rights with freedom of speech but often times this isn't enough to be simply as generic citizens but in a particular groups. and with marginalization. so in modern liberal societies i think we have the process that people seeking recognitions so this begins in the sixties with the civil rights movement for african-americans and the feminist movement so this begins in the sixties with the civil rights movement for african-americans and the feministt. movement and all of these that seek recognition not as generic americans that members of minorities that have been discriminated against which was perfectly legitimate but this is part of a larger proces

it is in the national interest.ause] even if we don't all agree on every part of this proposal, we need to come together because it's time we faced up to what is at risk. we have a labour party that if they were in government, would accept any deal the e.u. chose to offer regardless of how bad it was for the u.k. we also say that opposed any deal i choose to bring back, regardless of how good it is for the u.k. then in the national interest, their own political interests. [applause] and there are plenty of prominent people in british politics. in parliament and out of it to want to stop brexit in its tracks. the latest plan is to hold a second referendum. they call it a people's boat. but we had the people's boat and the people chose to leave. [applause] a second referendum would be a politician's boat. politicians telling people they got it wrong the first time and should try again. think for a moment what it would do to phase in our democracy. politicians try to overturn it. whichever side of the question we stood

taking a big decisions and doing so in the national interests that is never more true than when our national security is threatened. those are the times when i feel most keenly the responsibilitys of my office when i have toto work and put themselves in harm's way to protect our citizens to support our allies as w we expect them to o support us to uphold the international rules on which our security depends. the syrian reaming em attacked with chemical weapons killing innocent men women and children, we joined with our friends to send a message that the use of chemical weapons will never be tolerated i took the decision to send jets to strike against assad's chemical weapons pa sill facilities. as prime in ster i have to make the call and held account for it. the same was true when russia launched a chemical attack on the streets of the united kingdom. took the decision to expel 23 russian diplomats who were undeclared intelligence officers. our allies joined us in degrading russia's intelligence met work. in parliament, i received almost universal support. were the fmp to the liberal democr

the national security council and our national strategies identify this and discuss i. it's numbers. as we add a near peer competitor with -- just we are going to out gunned and outmanned. it is easier to attack than defend. we don't have the numbers. one of the things that all the states here and most of the states we have interacted with and nga is supporting is the talent development. it is one of those things -- i will say it tax and spend at the federal level to create cyber talent. it has to happen at the local state level. it has to happen with business. everything that we have done with the michigan cyber range, we brought in dr. adams, who just retired from active duty. is to the d.o.d. instruction 8570 standards you have national certificates. there is debate betweeners and, cyber folks, and just cranking out certificates. but i will tell you the state of virginia figured it out. it is mandated that community colleges and state universities that's funded shall have those certificates. we have to have a national framework. the michigan cyber range is used in pa

national security. these are the kinds of conflicts that defense secretary mattis has spent a lifetime addressing. passionate confederates were themselves veterans of world war ii and korea. their experiences created their determination to found and support an institute that was dedicated to preventing and resolving violent conflict. we pursue this mission by linking training and analysis with action on the ground and in , here and with policymakers in washington, d.c. and partner organizations and governments around the world. over the course of our 34 year history, usip has worked closely with the state department, and with the department of defense. fact, by legislation, secretary mattis is a member of our bipartisan board of directors. he is ably represented by john root. our work with dot includes facilitating a review commission , which is a body convened by congress to examine and make recommendations regarding national security. that includes working together in conflict zones. usip worked with

there is a ukrainian nation but it is a pluralistic it is culturally plural nation and it doesn't want to recognize the current government does not want to recognize that culture plurality it is therefore defeating it's going against the grain of its own national history and identity twenty seconds to church. one of the examples of this is the current effort to take the canonical of the status of the ukrainian orthodox church which is the only canonical church in ukraine and destroy it and create a new national church which will not be in communion with the rest of the orthodox world. an unprecedented even thing even the church can you know have to know that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t.c. unix time and remember crosstalk. no you don't accept the slow drivers the oldest was ready to leave a little it's. a little challenging like the whistle. and i don't bust i love me. why doesn't somebody know how to tell no it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting whether the

according to united nations estimates the virunga national park ranges are up against five to eight thousand heavily armed militiamen an army of different rebel groups all with the same goal the illegal extraction over all materials. the ranges of the last line of defense protecting nature an often deadly position. when the civil war was raging here there were dangers looking everywhere for the rangers. about one hundred forty of our men lost their lives protecting the ecosystem. system. in fact in twenty years of civil war a total of one hundred and fifty rangers have been killed the highest bloodshed ever to occur in protecting in the nature of his a the militias in the area where the guerrillas live mainly control the illegal timber trade and poaching. in light of the ten security situation in the new endemic lot made a radical decision he has his ranges undergo combat training. we still are just told that girl not just pulled up six you know our gas wells are . in the room nature conservation is more like a military operation. the ranges are trained by former belton and french elite solt

we hold this collection for the nation. for people who cannot make a to d.c., our affiliates around the country actually have articles on loan which is critically important and it's also the reason we have realize we need to enhance our digital presence for those kids who never make it to d.c. and don't get that eighth-grade guilt trip. we want to make -- field trip. one of the things we just digitized was the space shuttle discovery, had a partnership with google arts and culture tour of then get a inside of the discovery which was fun. azy be would the udvar-h affected by the construction and renovation? >> we will have more programming there because we cannot accommodate all downtown we will have more artifacts on the floor and cramming more stuff in there. it's already crowded but we will put more artifacts in there as we do the restoration. i'm really excited about it because for those of you who -hazy,ot been to udvar you are missing something incredible. i hate to pick favorites among my children but we have the cool

act which establishes a national commission of military aviation safety. this commission will review the rate and mishaps across the services and across aviation missions, assess the client's desk causes and make recommendations to improve training and maintenance. i hope the testimony here today will help inform and guide the work of this commission as a get started on this important mission. >> i will turn to my witnesses for opening statements. >> thank you for the opportunity to appear the horror -- appear before the house committee. on behalf of secretary wilson and the chief of staff of the air force, i would like to commend you for the fy 19 efforts, if they are able to continue, we expect to have enough life -- and the fy 19 budget. that is a favorable start. well done, thank you. as we review your draft legislation for the fy 19 we recognize the sacrifices that the american families make to live and enjoy the freedoms in a safe and secure democracy. the committees like yours are best supporters and guarantee years of freedom and we recognize the i

, a member of an indian nation.ome markers that indicate that you're related to somebody who lived long ago that may have lived in north or south ameri america, maybe native peoples of those continents. it's irrelevant what it means to be a native american in this country. we have some legal basis for our citizenship that we determine, consistent with federal treaties, it's wholly unhelpful for any national leader to cling to dna to determine -- or to establish that they're native american in this country. >> just to play devil's advocate, she said in her statement that she's not claiming that she belongs to any nation, any tribal association, that this was just about the fact that she had been told as a child that she had native american heritage, she had a distant relative and she wanted to see if there was any truth to that, still, even that you object to? >> because it real when i doesn't drill down to an issue of whether someone has ancestry to a particular tribe. it's useful to connect yourself with some linea

partner nations. almost every ship working in u.s. southern command's area of responsibility is, in fact, a united states coast guard cutter. we provide a constant presence of five to six ships, some days, as many as nine and ten ships. aircraft, law enforcement teams with specialized forces, predominantly in the specific ocean, but to a lesser degree in the caribbean basin. with these assets, we patrol an area that's larger than the entire united states. and i would say the equivalent paradigm would be properatrollie united states with five police cars. that's how vast that area is. and that area as big as the united states is almost expanding to be the size of the north american con innocetinent. right now our governments are facing tremendous strain due to drug-fueled violence erupting throughout the region. the violence and instability weakens the rule of law, hinders legitimate commerce, and terrorizes citizens, causing many to flee safer havens and those safer havens are typically here in the un

ambassador to the united nations. can you hear me?s, i can. >> thank you so much for jumping on the phone. your reaction to this announcement from nikki haley. >> well, i think i share some of max booth's disappointment. i think she did do a good job. she was a quick study. she represented us extremely well. in the arena there of the united nations, which is a little bit of a fush bowl, so she was in the limelight a lot of the time, and she was always extremely well spoken. i don't know her reasons for leaving. the idea of leaving for financial reasons resonates with me. i sent five of my kids through college on the u.s. government salary. and a little bit of money i inherited from my mother, and i tell you, it works to great hardship. if she was leaving to take some remunative position, that wouldn't surprise me, but she's very young. i'm sure we'll hear from nikki haley again. my last point would be nine of the permanent representatives of the united states to the u.n. since the end of world war ii were politicians. people like henr

people's will as expressed in many opinion polls it was also expressed through the process of the national conference organized by the united nations and humanitarian look center and switzerland that was commissioned by the u.n. and the overwhelming opinion of the libyan people according to these surveys is that they all wanted elections because they're fed up of the of these politicians that come to power and refuse to give it up and that even if the libyans succeed in agreeing on the constitutional framework and even if they manage to you organize the voting process and those that typically have said. rivet that this. do you think though this various militia groups will recognize will on their in the results of those elections especially those results are not to their liking of course there would be separate tours of of the process and in every country there are people who. things when they don't like them however i believe the overwhelming will of the libyan people and the social fabric of libya the tribes of libya the townspeople of libya the civil society of libya the women of libya t

welcome on behalf of the board of directors of the national staff and national council on u.s.-arab relations, i'm honored to welcome you to the 27th annual washington policymakers conference. the national council was founded in 1983 as an american nonprofit educational organization dedicated to improving american knowledge and understanding of the arab world. we are grateful for the generous and enduring support of our sponsors. you can see here they are listed on the program guide and behind me. we could not do what we do without their support. their share with us their knowledge and i object sights. i'll turn the podium over to the founding president and ceo of the national council. as many of you know, i were to summarize, i would be here for the next hour and a half. he's our national treasurer in that regard. he has dedicated his life to promoting dialogue and we are forever grate pfl. please join me in welcoming dr. anthony to the podium. >> we are honored to have mr. pratt as the chairman of the national council's board of directors. he has three and a half decades of d

he's our national treasure in that regard. he's dedicated his life to promoting dialogue and understanding and we're forever grateful. please join me in welcoming dr. anthony to the podium. [ applause ] >> thank you. i'm honored to have mr. pratt as the chairman of the national council's board of directors. he has three and a half decades of direct exposure and imperial experience on the ground. i use those three words education and imperial experience. but we also the hopes and dreams and schemes and this particular conference is but one of 11 activities and programs and projects that the national council has been fortune to have and been enabled by supporters and its contributors. many of whom are here with us today. you will see a line up of specialists and renowned individuals who have devoted, in some cases, all of their adult lives to trying to improve the arab-u.s. relationship. of course, you cannot do it evenly across the board given the fact there are 22 arab countries and spanning the region from morocco to baghdad

but to serve one nation. america's constitution and laws protect every person of every belief and every background. every litigant in the supreme court can be assured that i will listen to their arguments with respect and an open mind. every american can be assured that i will be an independent and impartial justice, devoted to equal justice under law. although the senate confirmation process tested me, as it has tested others, it did not change me. my approach to judging remains the same, a good judge must be an umpire, a neutral and impartial decider who favors no litigant or policy. a judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. a judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must interpret the constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent. in the wake of the senate confirmation process, my approach to life also remains the same. i will continue to heed the message of matthew 25, i will continue to volunteer to serve the least fortunate among us

importantly, children themselves are being empowered to what in the nation is.must be heard and when it comes to the work of safety, it must be approachable and child friendly. they must know who they can tell and they must be believed. and they must know where they can go. all governments are working together to establish the national database to ensure higher standards for working with children and about peoples ability to work with children a shared nationally and our work does not stop at our borders. we are insuring children across the world are protected by stopping child sex offenders from travelling overseas without permission which will disrupt the abuse of children globally. we recognise that a survivors ate, those who abused him have realfears about entering into aged care facilities. it's an understandable fear given what happened during childhood and we will work with survivor groups, we can do to alleviate those fears and indeed the work of the royal commission will be able to address this as well. and to assist with lasting change we recognise tha

for white nationalism.hat's why donald trump said that there were people telling him he shouldn't say it. he knew exactly the message he was sending, and we see this, you know, from people who want to justify and enable donald trump over and over again. when we see him mocking a reporter, they say he was, i don't know, dancing the macarena. you know, when he pretends he doesn't hear the question about denouncing david duke, they pretend the ear piece wasn't on. when we hear him boasting about sexual assault, they pretend it's locker room talk. this is what happens over and over and over again. but his base understands this clearly. he sent the message clearly. that's why he said -- why else would he say i'm not supposed to use this word. he knows what he is doing. and what drives me crazy is that instead of talking about the red tide in florida, instead of talking about the murder and cover-up that the u.s. is allowing the saudi arabian government to per traperpetrate jamal khashoggi's murder, after we saw

eastern, we bring you unique programming exploring our nation's past. american history tv is only on c-span3. reel america, in 1956 profile of hawaii before it became the 50th state. the half-hour film looks at hawaii as a tourist attraction, reviews the pearl harbor attack and the end of world war ii, then it's sketches a lifestyle of army and national guard soldiers and the work and leisure activities of nurses. this is an episode from the army's "big picture" series. ♪ narrator: hawaii, just the sound of the word, soft, gentle, and lyrical, seems to suggest what the islands are like. for here are islands of paradise. blessed by nature as few lanes lands are blessed. with proud towering cliffs looking down over deep, fertile valleys, all basking in a climate that can be described by one word, perfect. wherever you turn in hawaii, beauty bathes your eye in nature's wonders. it may be the manicured green of a formal garden. it may be the gleaming whiteness of a sandy beach. whatever it is, people enjoy themselves in hawaii. yes, it's fun, even if you ta

front of heads of state and the whole world community the paris agreement was blessed by the united nations and i feel that the dates in that agreement should be respected and the tenth of the december is the day of the election and i think you would agree with me that holding these elections as early as possible would perhaps serve you well politically but you also know that there are many observers. in libya and abroad with no skin in the game who say about the country's not simply ready for that kind of a democratic exercise not right a security wise but in terms of the legal foundations you still have don't have a full fledged constitution. are you putting your political ambitions before the abilities of your country first of all i don't think it is the right of any other nation to determine when we have our lections i think it is in the end it is the french will and heart is no doubt we have to be very accurate about this it is for libyan stakeholders the main players in libya who met in paris and it's a libyan agreement that was announced in paris but it's by no means a french agreeme

capital history and nations history.s the executive director of the president to library i am thrilled to be here and excited to witness a ceremonial reenactment of the laying of the cornerstone. the foundation of the foundation. the building that houses the representatives of the american people. on september 18 1793, george washington, a man long known as a father of this country, presided over this event with great hopes for what the capital would become. when they marched to the future site of the capital, to lay at the southeast corner stone in 1793 they knew it was important and like many americans, they believe that precisely because freemasonry symbolized and helped to instill selfless virtue, morality, equality and brotherhood, it could provide the right kind of sacred foundation for what this would become. president washington came out because he knew his presence would help to the important occasion. and i am sure he wanted to see it. to witness this transformational moment in the history of popular self- gove

the united nations is not a part of the united states administration. dialogue can resume in this assembly at the same point and by the same person who left the dialogue table and walked away from the court. beginning the dialogue starts with ending unjust sanctions that negate the principles of ethics and international law. our proposal is clear, commitment for commitment. violation for violation. threat for threat. and step for step. instead of talk for talk. what iran says is clear, no war, no sanctions. no threat no bullying, just acting according to the law and the fulfillment of obligations. we support peace and democracy in the entire middle east. we consider nuclear knowledge and imperative and nuclear weapons prohibited as victim of terrorism in the past and today we have always been and will always remain in the forefront of genuine confrontation with terrorism. today we mourn the martyrdom of tens of innocent people who were recently murdered on saturday in cold blood by terrorist who shamelessly accepted responsibility from a number of weste

ambassador as a national security adviser in the initial term of her presence here at the united nations nikki haley basically ran the boat by herself liaising directly with the white house and policy issues basically sidelining that then secretary of state rex tillerson this all changed fundamentally with my compos appointment and man with whom though she insists she had a very good relationship but they had been speculation here that nikki haley was being edged out by the great influence of the secretary of state and the national security advisor that being said though nikki haley kept her seat on the national security body now this is significant because it's very rare that a u.n. ambassador will be on that particular body and just another sign of how much reliance president trump placed on her in terms of forging his administration's policy foreign policy over the last two years so certainly president trump making very clear the that she will be missed as far as he is concerned and saying very clearly too that if she decides to come back she can choose what she wants so very much bus

here's a take on the issues of presidential authority and how we as a nation can react to this national emergency and how we can fix our broken borders and disastrous immigration laws former federal prosecutor andrew mccarthy one of the greatest legal minds in the country and showed the gym above. also tonight this promises to be an extraordinary hour. we turn first to the caravan that has created a political crisis and if it reaches our southern border and national emergency. it's still growing and still making its way north despite efforts for the lack of effort of the mexican government which pledged originally to the trump administration to stop the caravan. national correspondent liam la jeunesse is in southern mexico just north of the guatemalan border and has the latest for us. >> a showdown heading towards u.s. border as the migrant caravan began moving 25 miles north monday. mexicans offering food water and transportation. >> look at them. they have good hearts. >> organizers say the group doubled in size to more than 7000. some of applied for asylum here but mostly they want t

i want us to continue to be a nation that accepts them. the question i have is what is that number based on? is that number based on science? is there a rationale behind the number or it -- is it an arbitrary number that we set x -- set? i would hate for us as a nation to lose our identity as a place that welcomes those fleeing persecution, weather religious or political. if you look at the history of our company -- country, some of the people that end up loving america the most are the people that knows what the absence of freedoms and liberties that we enjoy in this nation. if there is going to be a limit set in a given year, it should be based on some measurable, some rationale, not simply we want to cut it in half. i am troubled by it and i have asked what the rationale is for dramatically lowering that number. >> senator, you come from a state that has been directly impacted by hurricane maria and its devastation in puerto rico. you believe the u.s. government has effectively responded to that crisis and if not, what could be done bet

it is tantamount to the national security of this country. so we know what's at stake here, but i'm also very confident of the capabilities in our national labs and in our private sector to maintain the safety and security of the american people. >> one of the other parts of the department of energy that i particularly enjoyed with over the years is the advanced research agency and its energy and working on battery storage and innovations that are really climate directed and also efficiencies and what not, and i'm wondering if you've had a chance to meet some of those entrepreneurs or to look at that environment and tell us how that system is. >> while i was governor of texas we called the fund, and taking taxpayer dollars with the scientific oversight group that tested the people and applied for the grant and it was incredibly successful. i mean, incredibly successful and so when i got here i was already wired to support that type of concept. >> the oversight groups. that's good. >> i like scientific oversight groups. anyway, long story shor

in nation building in bosnia. in its own effort to extend the foreign policy reach, particularly under the current government, the justice and development party who i argue has what i call an islamic understanding of what it means to be turkish, such that being turkish means being a sunni muslim, irrespective of ethnic identities, which as i'll suggest in a second opens up the possibility for outreaches that hadn't existed. but that also prescribes an activist role with turk and muslim populations. the weakers in china, as well as turkish populations in the netherlands, germany, those have been sources of immense confrontation when turkey has not been allowed to campaign for the turkish vote in germany or the netherlands. >> so what's fascinating also is how that can complicate foreign policy, you have a turkey that very much has made outreaches to russia, has a warning relationship with russia, needs chinese economic support. but has push back, because it sees its role as protecting weakers and so forth. i'm glad

and protecting our nation's borders. you'd think given the incredible return on investment for united states coast guard we'd have no trouble securing a budget that would meet the needs of the service and improve that readiness but our annualized appropriation for operations to support is not keeping pace with our current acquisitions. the national security presidential memo raised operating a support dollars for the defense to the level of 12% in fiscal years 2017 and '18. however, the coast guard rose about 4% in that same period of time. this is one of the challenges of being an armed service outside the department of defense. the coast guard's facing less than a 2% increase in the o and it's -- we're one of those agencies yet to be given a budget. we were shortsighted in the past and didn't make these needs widely known and i take some responsibility for that as a senior leader but we have to advocate now for that critical operations and support funding to maintain, train, and equip our people and assets in the futur

rachel: our hope is that building a national women's history museum on the national mall will not only educate and inspire, but it will help complete the story of american history. announcer: you can watch this and other american artifacts programs by visiting our website, c-span.org/history. >> honolulu is hawaii's capital city. in thehe largest city state with about 350,000 residents. next, we continue our special look at hawaii with a visit to the state capitaol. >> aloha. kalyna english -- hawaiian history is very unique. we were an independent monarchy, then a provisional government, then he republic, then a territory, and now a state. behind us is the first state capital of hawaii which was the royal palace. then it became the seat of the provisional government of hawaii , and then the seat of the territorial government. when hawaii became a state, we joined the union in 1959.

nation.hat is who we are. in a diversion nation, the way we can be strongest is by coming together and putting aside differences to work for the common good. so things that detract from from that, i think, are detrimental to our national character. so i'll point those out, as i have. but going forward, i hope to support the president on his policies that are good. if i disagree, i'll argue and try to convince him to go a different direction. the place i think that really needs greater concentration out of our leaders in washington -- and not just at the white house, but all over the nation and all over our nation's capital, is our concentration on the qualities of character we want in our current population and in the generations to come. >> many have argued that, if you could call it the trump phenomenon, has deeply divided the republican party, of which you've been a member for many years. perhaps beyond repair. what do you think is the proper way forward for the republican party? mr. romne

disease was ravaging the nation's in philadelphia.enry knox wrote to washington on the same day that the cornerstone was laid to describe the death toll in philadelphia from yellow fever, probably 100 day, every day. washington came to mount vernon of anay before aware acute health break in the nation. the united states was becoming increasingly departed -- divided by partisan politics. inieties began to appear cities and communities around the nation. they would form the nucleus of a a two, concerted party, party system, something that frightened many people. wouldvision and faction begin and maybe even destroy the young republic. that party polarization might just tear the nation in two. in the midst of all of this, perhaps the cause of all of this. washington wanted to be a part of a ceremony dedicating this theding as the home of voice of the american people. the ceremony of the ceremony of laying and dedicating cornerstones has been a tradition for centuries, but this one is different. -- theu are about to see white house, the sm

just look no farther than the national parks. ken burns as he said in his documentary they are america's best idea. and anybody who have been to yellowstone, glacier, yosemite are going to agree with that. but those national parks were invented and created with this fantasy and nostalgia that we have been talking about in mind. the national parks were not empty wilderness areas when there were created, they were areas where native people lived, hunted, finished, works, etc.. but the national park service, or the federal government, before the park service was created after world war i, created those parks and removed indian people. now we go yes preserving that land brilliant idea, but removed removing the indian people to use it, not such a good idea. right now you can google and look around, see that the national park service is trying very hard to develop new ways to work with native people as comanagers, partners, providers of traditional ecological knowledge that will allow for better park management. there we see the federa

and in each of these countries cyberoperations is a low-cost tool to advance the national interest and with financial and human capital to have a return of initial cost and aside from the geopolitical impact the economic consequences are profound a malicious cyberintegrity cost the united states economy between $57,000,000,109,000,000,000 and just the fact they have to look at a range tells you we don't really have a total of what is happening in the cost of what is happening relative to cybermalicious activity. it is also easy to see how the weaponization of cybertools and the relative lack of global guard rules significantly increases with enormous strategic consequences. to witness this first in recent years were the effects of the ransom where attack which spread around the world to the point of affecting emergency care in the united kingdom and then if you look at russia's malware which the administration called the most destructive and costly cyberattack to date that crippled the ukraine before hitting businesses on a worldwide basis and a sense one - - aside from the malware att

congressman murtha: in many ways our national parks represent what our greatest strengths are as a nationthe natural beauty of our great land, seemingly limitless potential, unspoiled by the ravages of man. for pennsylvania, our park lands also represent another source of economic diversification as tourists spend nearly $20 million a day throughout the commonwealth. >> in particular, he was very supportive in the 1980's of the creation of the industrial national park heritage areas. this is important to western pennsylvania, because as we talked about before with his family's connection to the coal and steel industries, pittsburgh and western pennsylvania is the center of steel making. but in the 1980's it's on a huge decline. in fact, it becomes almost -- it it almost disappears. at this point in time, he is looking at ways in which we can capitalize on the steel heritage and promote it through tourism and preservation for the betterment of our country. plan, this coordinated effort by the parks department, the local department and the commissioners in various counties and the state has
