national security, foreign policy, economic policy, i am convinced that the 21st century can be an north americancentury if we get the renegotiation right. if we modernize and revamp nafta to 21st century standards. this allows north america, paired with what has happened in the energy sector in terms of the energy revolution, in canada and the united states, and what has happened because of mexico's decision to open up its energy sector, if you add energy to the template, you have the potential of the 21st century truly being an north american century in terms of our ability to compete with the asia-pacific, particularly china. there is a larger piece here, and there is also something that has been very dear to my heart, which i worked with my canadian and u.s. friends, which is, how do we deepen the security collaboration between the three countries that are regional on a global level? how do we engage on issues that matter to us where we have ?oincidental agendas whether it is disaster relief and collaboration to respond to central america or the caribbean, we have started to discuss the pre-p

bbc's north american editor joined us from the white house a short while ago.hite house is saying the president's thinking on this is pretty solid. how is he going to present the plan? >> there are an awful lot of diplomats and foreign-policy experts in washington who are bewildered that this plan is going to be presented. after all, if you travel around america you don't hear huge number of americans saying a key issue to me is where the embassy is going to be situated in israel. but he's going to talk about that and he is also going to talk about the capital of israel being jerusalem. as you say, that has already sparked a furious reaction. palestinians, dangerous consequences. saudi arabia, detrimental to the peace process and will increase tension in the region. jordan, serious implications. will provoke christians and muslims alike. much depends on how donald trump frames this. i have spoken to people who have been briefed on the speech and there's an expectation he will soften it with language about access to the most holy sites in jerusalem. also about p

some families may have a cousin well placed in a british north american colonies or vice versa. so distant relatives of the washingtons were in barbados. interestingly enough, i found in one of the old love e-books of bridgetown -- levy books of bridgetown in the middle of the 18th century. he must have been a distant relative. there was a george washington who lived in bridgetown. the, of course, there was family connections. lawrence's wife was a fairfax. the second wife of william fairfax, who himself had served sometime in barbados, was deborah clarke, who was sister to ginny clarke of barbados. were well set up -- i went forward to much -- to be accommodated on the island. mantra of real estate is location, location, location. and barbados is very well located. it is in the crossroads of the north atlantic economic system. so south america, africa, north america, europe, united kingdom. barbados in the 17th century was one of the hubs of the british empire's trading system. america, london in the home country, and bridgetown in barbados. important iny terms of the logistica

question specifically about the north american practices i'm not sure about canada but it seems that team usa has an oversized representation of athletes and various attention deficit disorders which allows legally to be taking drugs with performance enhancing qualities and as somebody who's studied in the in the united states i know for a fact that a.t.g. for example is. over diagnosed in the country i mean that is a fact that is accepted by medical professionals there i just wonder don't you think that would give a somewhat unfair advantage to the american athletes when they can legally take drugs would not be available to other athletes. well i guess to really answer that question one has to look at the rules around therapeutic use exemption which are available to all athletes in the world and the premise there oksana is that athletes who require medication for healthy living that might otherwise be banned in sport have the right to apply to use those things and those medications and the application process is very thorough it's deaded domestically it's vetted internationally and

most anthropologists north american indians as far back as 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, plains culture. what you will see in this exhibit here is much more recent, perhaps about 1700, but it is still precontact. we date the contact period from about -- in this part of the country anyway, from about the 1740s when there was a french expedition along the missouri river by the varonde brothers and their father, about 1743. so the materials that you see here would date from before that period of time, and one object that i would point to in particular would be this buffalo effigy in this red tablet. this is catlonite. it is harvested or quarried in a strong vein of soft stone of this red variety up and down the northern plains right between minnesota and the dakotas. it was used for a number of objects such as this board which has an incised buffalo figure, and then it was also used for the cutting of tobacco and the use of the pipe and prayer before a hunt out on to the plains. in addition to the catlonite plate that we have here of which we'll see a much larger representation of so that

i think the united states and unique leverage in negotiating a new north american free trade agreementrally,agreements including nafta, are very convoluted, very nebulous. i think this new trade agreement has to be explicit. i think it also has to be enforceable. the enforcing mechanisms are not strong enough. when you are doing trade with other countries, you half to look at your -- you have to look at your strength as leverage for the three countries involved. but also for the united states, a country with a population of 326 million people, the strongest economy in the history of the world, 70% consumption. that means the things we used to make and sell to the rest of the world, they now make and sell to us. that is the unfortunate aspect of it. fortunately, it gives us leverage in a new trade negotiation in the context of nafta. take youryou constituents in upstate new york, is -- their jobs, their well-being, is it more affected by relations with mexico or canada? which are you more integrated with as a practical matter? congressman higgins: i think integrated more with canada. i
