the concerns of the courts of law. with the conventional account of thed as the arrival modern first amendment, it was only a distant prelude. so, my lecture this evening has put me in the awkward posture of speaking at the supreme court about the comparative unimportance of some of the most storied opinions in the history of constitutional law. but if the effect of the great dissents was more attenuated than constitutional law casebooks have suggested, that does not render the history of the wartime cases any less constructive. the free-speech cases of world war i will live on as a reminder about the dangers of patriotic exuberance, as well as the importance of political dissent, its vital role in democratic governance. but i hope i have convinced you that the cases deserve an even more capacious legacy. the agonized debate over the espionage act and the first amendment offers lessons of profound importance for a constitutional democracy that is ugglingng to this -- str to establish the appropriate limits of legislati

years of the presidency of george w. bush. the president became really unpopular during those terms, that time in office. if that second constitutional presidency is predicated on popular leadership, what happens when the president becomes extraordinarily unpopular. even when they are popular, when they remain relatively popular, they can in certain congressional districts be really unpopular and if those congressional districts are important to the leadership in the house and the senate, then that's an additional obstacle that presidents have in getting their legislation through ongress. so what, if anything, can the state of the union do here? how can it address these problems of popular eadership? what i'd argue is that it can do very little. because it has become less a tool of governance or a window into the executive unique view in our constitutional system, and much more of a partisan address. it might be that the state of the union is part of the problem of the modern presidency. so let's talk a little bit about

to truly appreciate the tragedy of the battle of manila, it is important to rewind to the turn of the 20th century. the united states captured philippines and cuba, but unlike cuba which was granted independence, america decided to hold onto the philippines. a rationale best described by douglas macarthur's father, who helped capture bonilla and later served as military governor -- "the archipelago is the finest group of violins in the world. it touchy strategic position is unexcelled -- it's strategic position is unexcelled." they realized that manila, which served as america's front door to the markets of china, needed a facelift to attract industry and better reflect america's global status. the u.s. hired famed municipal architect and planner, daniel burnham. over the course of his career, he helped guide cities like chicago, san francisco, oversaw the rud -- they redo of the national mall in washington. burnham saw incredible potential in manila, with its vast natural resources, old spanish churches, and the ancient walled city of the 160 acre heart of the city of manila, built i

the state of israel and criticizing the actions of the state of israel and of course certain israeli leaders kind of hide behind the idea that what you're criticizing is israel because you're criticizing our policies but that's obvious you are two separate things and it's very difficult obviously lying to hold but it's a one line i think that needs to be held and this is one of the questions they'll be for my course ror i think and inversely what's interesting with it is that if you say dodd's criticizing the actions of these radios stage is anti semitic in many ways you're actually giving credence and legitimacy to the type of anti-semitism that he expressed by in the far left and the far right which is a lot of it is criticizing israel of course and so if you put the two knew to go over you're saying actually you're right if you criticize israel down your anti semitic and that's part of the problem we need to keep to be able to keep those two aspects distinct because of course there's a lot of people want to criticize the actions of the state of israel including also jews including

book. >> next, preview of next week's state of the union address, the history of the speech and possible themes and the democratic response. this event was held before it was announced that the former candidate, stacey abrams will give the democratic response. held by the brookings institution, this is one hour 10 minutes. >> good morning everyone. my name is molly reynolds, senior fellow of the government studies program here at brookings. thank you for joining us today for an event on the state of the union. when we scheduled this event, we expected that president trump would be delivering his annual address to congress on tuesday night. he's not doing so and the exact timing of the speeds remains to be set but we thought we would convene the panel anyway to discuss both what we expect the president to speak about when he does appear and also more generally, talking about the legislative and executive branches. i couldn't imagine a better panel of folks than my for governance studies colleagues here with me to tackle these questions. you have full bios but briefly we have a senior fell

of genoa the region of liguria italy.last august the marandi bridge collapsed during heavy rain killing forty three people as dozens of cars plunged into the riverbed below it had widespread impact on the city and its surrounding areas and led to debate about what caused it. and to say business suffered when the neighborhoods were all of a sudden cut off from the. bridge collapse we lost nearly fifty percent of our business it's been really bad. and those who live near the bridge are struggling to cope some are still in temporary accommodation. we suddenly found ourselves like victims of an earthquake but our houses are still there they're still standing but also a very strange situation for us. as the memory of the bridge collapse continues to overshadow genoa there is hope that the building of a new bridge can able the city to move on from the disaster and also rejuvenate the immediate area construction on the new bridge begins next month that is expected to last for fifteen months costing more than two hundred twenty f

that of the god of abraham. and one last thing there's a new book out from one of this country's well known philosophers called religion for atheists which makes the case that no matter how false religion is no matter how imaginary god may be there are some lessons there are some institutions there are some values that atheists could usefully borrow i've heard that argument put i've heard people say that we that humans do need some sort of. rituals and they need some sort of gathering places meeting places i can sort of see that is not a thing that interests me very much i don't feel the need for for for ritual i don't feel any great need to fill the alleged vacuum that will be left when religion goes i think there's plenty to fill it already. fantastic discussion it's a pleasure to how do you hear on our. thank you all to the audience here in the oxford union chamber and thanks to you all at home for watching goodbye and dare i say god bless each . it does look more and more like bangladesh is becoming a one pa

it's kind of the whole issue of immigration and the last of participation and lack of political clout on behalf of the italians who live in the north end at the time. it was about 95% italian. most of the italian immigrants were not citizens, did not vote, therefore are had very little political clout and very little voice in the whole onstruction of the tank or even while the tank leaked. the very few people stood up for them. there was no official protest when the tank goes up. honeyfits was the congressmen at the time, nothing from the mayor nothing i can find on the record when this kind of assive receptacle gets built three feet from commercial street in the midst of all of this activity. so the immigration thread weaves its way through the book and i think that is an important piece to talk about how america was settled at the time, how neighborhoods and ethnic neighborhoods were settled at the time. that is part of the molasses story. the other activity going on at the time were anarchist's activity. hey were very active and violent at this time, including in boston. boston, th

the leadership of iran what kind of impact has the tearing up of that nuclear deal of twenty fifteen had upon him and his cause. actually when we're talking about an event like today the diversity of the revolution is not something partisan issue it's something for both sides on both counts either conservatives or reformist was very calm that saw what we saw today in under streets of iran not only in tehran and across the country millions of people attending the rallies it was actually a demonstration assuring of their support for the islamic revolution as a whole but you have loans both said they leave this earth forgive me for jumping in but the leadership of iran has to deal with what are the the toughest sanctions ever imposed by the united states on a country that is something that has real manifestations for all of you in iran. that's actually what i wanted to mention that. as now i have understood i have realized by heart that the sanctions are the problems are not going to be so on the by. a or by any further negotiations we do not is the specially when we have those instrume

way of and also see us most of that is the question of how dependent we are on russian gas it cannot be resolved by deciding which pipeline it's coming and if no one wants to be unilaterally dependent on russia if we received russian gas during the cold war it's not only immediately our where i live but also in west germany that i don't see why the times and situation today should be so much why we can no longer say that russia remains a partner i think. well the c.e.o. of german energy giant winter shell is also throwing his support behind the north stream to pipeline he said that if germany or europe were to turn away from russian gas than russia may look to china as a potential export market and in his opinion that wasn't beneficial to anybody concerned one person though who's been speaking today in munich who isn't a fan of the nord stream project is the us vice president mike pence basically the u.s. hates north stream to one of the reasons for this is that they want to export american liquefied natural gas to europe that however is much more expensive than piping it under the s

of proceedings is in violation of the rules of the house and committees. ok, ms. oudkirk. ms. oudkirk: chairman, ranking member -- members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today. on january 28, the united states designated pdvsa under executive order 13 850. this action extends to entities that are majority-owned by pdvsa these sanctions are intended to place pressure on the illegitimate former maduro regime, minimize its receipt of revenue from the united states, and safeguard the u.s. financial system. the designation of pdvsa will preserve venezuela's national assets for the venezuelan people. the united states is holding accountable those responsible for venezuela's tragic decline. as abrams noted, under the former mandir regime, oil production steadily declined due to mismanagement, corruption, and a lack of investment. pdvsa has long been associated with allegations of corruption and schemes designed to embezzle billions of dollars for the personal gain of corrupt officials and businessmen. the sanctions aim to prevent the i

an army of volunteers has come together to help with the influx of tens of thousands of evacuees. but their retreat to a church shelter has brought new challenges an outbreak of norovirus and other gastrointestinal problems. smoke from the massive wildfires now blankets much of northern california leading to some of the worst air quality in the world but with more than twelve thousand structures lost in the wildfires concerns remain about long term accommodations jobs and medical care. local officials say there isn't enough housing stock available. every few do is being analyzed it's being weighed and needs to be measured to who is listening. and it's not just i phones that's almost like things i mean most small things of these days at the moment we are in a state of the universe like it's a good start and did something that was that i would rather take the risks of democracy to the risks of digital dissidents on al-jazeera. i know that. venezuelan opposition supporters have pegged aid to trucks trying to breach the colombian border. meanwhile troops loyal to president maduro fire

part of that is because of the incompetence of the laws in a lot of states. part of it is because they haven't had the wherewithal to get one. our legislation and amendment sweeps much more broadly. any woman who is a victim of domestic violence, to be loaned a gun bay family member or a friend until the threat is resolved. and my friend suggests there's something ambiguous about the words. i just don't see the ambiguity. we shouldn't have criminal laws essentially because criminals won't follow them. this seems an attack on law itself. law language is clear here. if there is a threat and you're suffering from the threat of domestic violence, sexual assault and so on, then you can get the gun. who interprets it? well, you've got the right to go out and get it. if someone were to prosecute you from doing it the prosecution would clearly lose. so i'm afraid our friends are looking for problems in this bipartisan legislation, which simply don't exist. with that i'm going to yield a minute to the gentlewoman from texas, my friend, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro

the media has made a lot of news out of this. there is a lot of really worthy priorities, but everything is a worthy priority to somebody, and i am here urging you all to support the proposals that are allocating the most money to the department of homelessness and supportive housing, and the department of the mayor touch office of housing and community development. i will tell a simple story. i live out on the end of the richmond, and a neighbor of mine , her name was sarah, she had been living at the bus shelter. she had been sitting in a wheelchair, living in the bus shelter for months, if not years i don't know how long she had been living there. she needed help and care. our services in the city are backlogged. shelters are backlogged. the waiting list to get into the below market rate affordable housing is backlogged. we are not building enough of it everywhere in every district, luckily, sara was able to, with the health just help of my neighbors, get placed in an s.r.o. unit, and get help back and get off the street and g

the first ledge of a huge and i said you had to capture the kind of force the financial expenses of our contestant so. we have. i can say there's never been known but you know it's exactly what we expect. the majority of young nigerians are social media enthusiastic and many are well aware how the politicians target them with messages on various platforms so you. probably know since reagan was. asked. how big that influence this may become clearer after saturday's vote. on the decrease i'll just come to nigeria our time for a check on the weather now everton's here with news of a wintry blast across the u.s. yes right there and despite what punxsutawney phil told us on groundhog day there's still no sign that early spring take a look at the cloud on the satellite picture there's loads of it and that says a lot of snow has been making its way from west to waste much of north america has seen good covering a snow recently even today say you can see we had plenty of snow around here that northeastern quarter in particular up towards the midwest was particularly badly affected and we ha

this was kind of a reunion of widows of the resistance, of sorts, because there were many people thereho knew each other from that time. many fewer men of that generation than women, because the women were the survivors. i was struck in that time i have families,my friends, -- family's legacy, how different her relationship to her family's legacy was then my own. patriarchather, the of that family, had seen the evil of hitler's unfolding in hitler unfolding in real-time and taken action against it, whereas my own parents had taken a blind eye. to me, there is an interesting question in there about what made it -- why did these people have the courage -- don: you have two types of exposure. back to the choice thing, a lot of your characters here belong to some of the old aristocracy and things like that, but they hear of atrocities on the street front and are horrified. it is very close to stauffenberg. you have thesed, farmers, peasants like your grandparents, at the end of the war and americans are dropping leaflets with pictures of the camps. they don't believe it. they think it is a

like a lot of the -- a lot of our sort of vectors of immigration policy of how people come in don't haves. so even in the status quo, like the way that we designed immigration policy, isn't based on the idea a certain number of people should be able to come in every year. and if it were, you still would want to look at, like, what types of people are coming in and balancing that, right? for example, like a lot of spaces are reserved for people to come in and be doctors at hospitals, which is something that we really need. in fact, since the travel ban and since the crackdown on immigration policies there have been a bunch of articles about how hospitals, especially in like the rust belt area, can't get enough doctors and nurses to come in because people don't want to come work here. similarly, like with h1 visas for people to work with tech, a lot of people are going to vancouver instead of to california now because they don't want to be in the u.s. so i think it is not -- you can't look at it as just one number and say, like, the u.s. should take in 2 million immigrants a year because a

are sort of mixed in terms of effect. i have already always views the issues as it's great to build strong relationships, you go with young officers and even a minister of defense or prime minister or president. as you are finishing your time, your lady career, what is the sort of metrics we should be looking at in the building partner capacity investments we make their dod to see whether they are successful? >> great question. i guess my first point of reflection is how drastically different the approach took partner capacity and really partners is from when i first started. very little to any contact points, established relationships were checkered, often when countries were deemed to behave badly the first point of separation was to separate schooling and things like that. over the years, the establishment and expansion of our contacts and true partners has been extraordinary. i tell our younger officers during a period of time during international relations that i didn't grow up in, please don't lose sight of the pote

of. course of course we are very confident we will win because we have the best candidate the one who has brought economic cultural and political stability like no other but this stability for the opposition comes at a cost the leader of the senegalese democratic party karim wanted it is in exile and convicted on corruption charges while the popular former mayor. remains in jail the opposition accuses cells government of using the courts to clamp down on political opponents nonsense says former prime minister today this has nothing to do with. politics it's about mismanagement of public funding and i think in his program i think president made it very clear that he would like to make progress on fighting corruption with the two leading figures of the opposition out of the race it seems there's no stopping myself he's been opening one infrastructure project after another jump starting in the booming economy. this is the latest infrastructure project in our greeted by president mikey saul i

of neglect a constant suppression of freedoms and then of a worsening economic situation have pushed thousands of sudanese professionals to leave the country in search of better opportunities those include more than fifty percent of sudan's university professors on the c.s. . divan sided vision of our politics leaves open wanting to be the only two options you i did accept to be sidelined or you leave the country being sidelined is the option but is tackling with patiently but not his. children his son anymore is has joined thousands of young protesters who have been marching for political change since december. a movement towards importance has led to disagreement between father and son. what's the use of you going to those protests and what use it's for our freedoms it's not just about the economy we need political change in our country. the generational rift within abdulla's family is seen even within the families of some of the members of the ruling class many of their children have also joined the protests saying it's not just about economic or social status but rather of both t

does the speed of ai and this high degree of integration make the idea of a third offset obsolete? >> not at all. i think it reinforces the importance. although it's not being called a third offset strategy anymore because every administration has to rename the old strategy and put it in the new frame, what the department is actually doing and what secretary mattis in particular has tried to do in moving money particularly what will come out of the 2020 budget towards a much more robust investment in some of these key technologies, it will actually, it is key for that technological investment is still very important for the united states to be able to offset what will be quantitative advantages and home theater advantages for a country like china, if we ever had to deal with a conflict in asia. >> quick point. i feel i should represent sort of the view from silicon valley on one aspect of this question which is there are two types of winning here. there's winning where you have like a superior exquisite military capability and that's fine except the way you will probably get to it

constitutes a clear delegation of congress of parts of the appropriation powers of the president. subject to the president's declaration of a national emergency which is a term that is left to the president alone to define. there is a crisis at the border and everyone at some point or another has acknowledged that and the president has the authority to address that crisis under a federal statute that's duly enacted by congress. i would say this in closing. it's time to drop the politics and pick up the principles. we have the basis for the article 1 powers and until we do that we will move in fits and starts and one day in this direction and the next day in that direction and we'll discover that we're not moving forward, but rather in circles, spinning with increasing speed and smaller and smaller circles. i hope this hearing can help right our ship and help provide us an anchor as congress moves ahead. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses here today and i yield back. >> i thank the gentleman from louisiana for a statement and i now recognize the chairman of the full commi

she was one of the designers of the sanctions policy. the now, she is over here at the atlantic council. her last work done with brian o , also a colleague, everything you need to know about the new russia sanctions bill which was introduced last week -- that is available in hard copy here as is brian's piece with one of our panelists on a larger look about sanctions , a strategic look on point to our topic today. that is also available here in hard copy. i commend them and i will shamelessly flog atlantic council products. we tried to give the best that peopleilable do not pay $20,000 a pop for and it is actually better than what people are paying $20,000 a pop for anyway. we pride ourselves on that and the atlantic council sanctions team is populated mostly by actual practitioners of sanctions policy. people who have had to work with it and it is run on a daily the organization west put together the event today. that is enough for me, you will hear from me later and to now, it is my pleasure to turn things over to samantha.

of it. you actually have an idea of what these people would do. >> sorry. no, we're on. >> okay, good. but it is more specific but much more targeted and perhaps even modest in scope than some of the other universal jobs programs that are floating around. so why did you decide to propose something this targeted as opposed to just guaranteeing a job for any american who -- who wants one? >> part of it is i think cost containment, that i do think that we do have to have a system where jobs are available to people who struggle the most. that's kind of the second part. but there are other people who are much closer to the margin of work and not work, and so they don't necessarily need the access so that government-provided job or job guarantee, but they need that little extra financial boost to allow them to seek that opportunity. >> okay. so some of these other proposals i have seen come with a price tag that would create an entitlement program on the order of like, what, medicare is. >> right.

do we have a sense of the actual scale of these camps?you think are detained. but how many are there of these camps and what's happening inside? we have very little information in terms of the scope of the camps. we have interviewed individuals who were detained in those camps and we certainly know that there are very credible and strong allegations of mistreatment, of torture. these are, you know, completely legally baseless detention centres in which people are arbitrarily and indefinitely detained, where uighur muslims and other turkic muslims are detained indefinitely for so—called political re—education. so completely legally baseless camps. we don't have a sense of the full numbers. again, you would need an international fact—finding mission of investigators to have access to the camps in a way that was credible and transparent, to really get to the bottom of the scale and the scope. but certainly what we've seen is a real increase in the level of oppression in the xinjiang as a whole. over a number of years there have been very ser
