that was the moment of reckoning for some of them with ideas of progress. and again examining assumptions in the way a lot of us are trying to do now is like was this one we were dreaming about? what was this great narrative, henry james or t.s. eliot, they all question this particular narrative that so may people have believed in the 19 century is all this century about irreversible, unstoppable progress. in some like gandhi who are challenging this narrative, they also are drawn from western sources. gandhi is inconceivable without some like tolstoy who can see the violence of this process of modernization and is writing about it. in a way we all kind of inhabited this particular framework of the modern response to it. seen in its inadequacies, its faults and written about it and those ideas, those critiques have traveled widely and have been shared widely. i do think that the last two, three years have been an exceptional period of intellectual of a certain kind of homogenized narrative emanating from some of the early settlers of education, disseminated

a mix of the rhetorical championing of the ideas of liberty and equality by some of virginia's leading political figures and the state economic -- state's economic self interest, virginia had an excess of slaves they stood to gain , economically from any congressional action taken against the slave trade. all of this meant that lower southerners could not count on their northern neighbors for ideological support taking into -- ideological support for slavery. taking into account these factors, lower southern members of the house must've been alarmed by the abolition society petition that was read before the house. it urged congress to apply the society's principles as a guide to dealing with the issue of slavery on the national level. finding themselves boxed in politically, cumbersome and from -- congressmen from south carolina and georgia would feel compelled to combat the principles of the antislavery petitioners with what they viewed as a principal defense of slavery. slavery's proponents relied on a bevy of arguments in defending bondage. repeatedly, lower southerners attacked the

i'm the charp of chairman of the board offed middle east policy council. it's my privilege to welcome you here for this special program for examining counter terrorism efforts. we're especially pleased to be holding this program in collaboration with our friends at the gulf cooperation council. many of you know the middle east policy council through our four core activities. our journal which i brought a cop yif, middle east poll sichlt hopefully you're familiar with that. our capitol hill conferences which i'm sure many of you have attended, our educational outreach program teach mideast and our digital platform in particular our website which features a lot of current opinion information from the region. ch which is one of our better features. we're especially pleased to have such a distinguished panel to address this topic. prior to this posting, he had a distinguished career both in public and in private service. in the private sector. among the many positions he has held, he has been a member of saudi arabia's council, mayor of jeta and saudi arabia's

a room by a woman with the last name of donelson, the widow of one of the cofounders of nashville. her daughter, rachel donaldson robards, was living in the area as well. andrew and young rachel apparently struck up a friendship. rachel was married. so she and andrew strike up this friendship of some sort. her husband is not happy, as you can imagine. there are lots of accounts of him being jealous and perhaps of even being abusive toward rachel. in any case, andrew and rachel continued their friendship. lewis abandons her/ andrew and rachel go down to spanish natchez on the mississippi river. a few years later, robards has filed for divorce. andrew and rachel had been living in adultery. legally,s a bigamist, because she was still married to lewis and saying she was married to jackson. the divorce does go through and andrew and rachel do legally 1794.in nearly at the time, it is not that big of a deal outside of lewis robards and a couple of other people. looking ahead 30 years, it is a big deal, when it comes to the presidential election. host: what happened? how did it have an i

, even though one of the symbols of the black power movement is this image of one of the founders ofhe black panther party in california in 1966 holding a spear and shotgun. newton is the premier example of this sense of militant opposition to american society the panthers supposedly, allegedly represented. but in fact, much of their campaign was about self-defense for african-americans. the same kind of self-defense that had been seen earlier with the deacons of defense and earlier efforts in the military and other areas opposing violence against their society. part of the black panther campaign, a major part was , social reform. educational reform, health care, housing, the freedom to get an education that was useful for them. and opposition to the legal system that was imprisoning thousands of african americans with no good reason. an element we want to focus on and make known more widely to the american public is the notion of survival programs. that the party was developing a series of activities and pioneered the idea of legal aid, health clinics, educational programs, a free b

she was the widow of one of the cofounders of nashville.er daughter rachel donelson robards was living in the area as well and andrew and young rachel apparently struck up a friendship. now what's interesting is that rachel was married. so she and andrew strike up this friendship of some sort. her husband lewis robards is not happy as you can imagine. there are a lots of accounts of him being jealous and perhaps of even being abusive toward rachel. in any case andrew and rachel continue their friendship. lewis leaves town, abandons her, and andrew and rachel go down to spanish natchez on the mississippi river, they come back, they say that they've been married. and a few years later they find out that lewis robards has just now filed for divorce. so andrew and rachel had actually living in adultery. and rachel was actually a bigamist legally, because she was still married to lewis and saying she was married to jackson. so the divorce does go through and andrew and rachel do legally marry in early 1794. and at the time it's not that big of a

was fond of quoting poetry on the floor of the senate. he didn't have a lot of friends in the senate. referred toolleague him as "the most intelligent man and the senate, and that wasn't a complement." [laughter] he was seen as kind of a cold fish, standoffish. to intellectual for his them good. -- for his him good. -- for his own good. he was not a liberal softy. inwas someone who believed vigorous intervention to stop the spread of communism. he was someone who was on the side of, initially, the house un-american activities committee. he was not an uber liberal guy, but it was increasingly clear to as thed particularly escalation increased in 1966 and 1977 -- 1967, that the war in vietnam was untenable and needed to end. so he joins the race in november 1967 as the antiwar candidate. support,a huge deal of and by early 1968, he is running very strong and the ramp-up to the new hampshire primary, which then was in early march. the new hampshire primary mccarthy does not win, but he gets over 40% of the vote. johnson, moment when who real

i welcome all of you, especially the members of the hawkins family and all of the extended members ofour family. we are grateful and honored by your presence and by the efforts of so many around the nation to share in the events with us, on line and in gatherings in new orleans and baton rouge. we want to thank you all. [applause] >> we want to thank you all for being a part of this special day. i would also like to welcome our neighbors from around the city. i would like to welcome our speakers this afternoon. membersrateful to have from our georgetown community, our working group on slavery, memory and reconciliation in our jesuit community here to offer reflections to each of our speakers. members of the georgetown class of 2017 and i working group. mrs. karen harper royle, executive director of the gu 272 descendents association and a member of the queen and mahoney family lines and the hawkins and butler family lines by marriage. also a professor of american history studies and a member of our working group. jessica tilson, scott butler and digs family lines, and reverend joseph

all of that kind of good stuff. so it is specifically the species is -- is in europe, asia, eastern parts or western parts of asia. but earlier ancestors we would see come out of africa. but that's a really good question. really complicated way to answer it too. yeah. >> can you describe your experience in iran? >> sure. sure -- i was actually there as a member of the member alpine club rock climbing team i spent some time there on exchange program, and as part of that, i was excited to have the opportunity to visit different archaeological sites different paleosites places that would be hard to visit without that kind of access. and so parts of that have definitely contributed to research that i've done in sort of nationalism and symbolism of fossils particularly for neanderthals and a fossils that have come out of iran. but there isn't anything sadly that popped up in seven skeletons for that research but it is definitely informed other projects that i've done. yeah. question from the back. >> i was wondering howr

first, so cue lots of speculation, lots of arrivals of news crews here. it was a shock announcement from that perspective, from the media's perspective, there is no doubt this will have been planned for many months, probably years. 0k, sarah, forthe for many months, probably years. 0k, sarah, for the moment, thank you. sarah campbell at buckingham palace. sarah campbell at buckingham palace. with me is nick hat witchell. the duke indicated when he was 90 that he would be scaling back duties. he didn't seem to scale back that much in the last five years. so beyond his age, why now? well, to pick up the point you were discussing with sarah, asi the point you were discussing with sarah, as i understand it, he has been thinking actively about this since the turn of year, last year, was the year of the queen's 90th birthday, she was becoming the longest reigning monarch before that, these were significant moments, a he wanted to be there publicly at her side throughout, certainly the 90th birthday celebrations, but he has decided, since the turn of the year, t

i am speaking, of course, of iran.ous, and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos across the region. iran has fuelled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror. it isa of sectarian conflict and terror. it is a government that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing the destruction of israel, death to america, and ruin for many leaders and nations. nations in this very i’ooiti. and nations. nations in this very room. among iran's most tragic and destabilising interventions, you have seen it in syria, bolstered by iran president assad has committed unspeakable crimes. and the us has taken firm action in response to the use of banned chemical weapons by the assad regime. launching 59 missiles at the syrian air base from where that murderous attack originated. responsible nations must work together to end the humanitarian crisis of syria, eradicate isis, and restore stability to the region as quickly as possible. the iranians's —— the people of iran have endured hardship and despairundertheir people of iran

literally hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats by the end of the war. the government issued ration books to every american, even babies. 7 million ration books were issued the very first week that rationing went into effect which was the spring of 1942 and, of course, without rationed stamps from the rations books you couldn't purchase shoes, meat, gasoline, many items. and as as soon as the ration books were issued, there's always these unintended consequences. crooks discovered that these ration books were easy to copy. now, sometimes we have a picture of world war ii and the solidarity of the american people, but it's like any other time. there's a great deal of craftiness in the human nature and it came to thieves, let's just print their own ration books and they did by the hundreds of thousands. it was big business. and the theft of ration coupons was big business. there is an account of a veteran coming home after serving in the war overseas, coming back home to central indiana during the latter days of the war, and he's at a rally, a high school

i hear a lot of skepticism. various degrees of kinds of skepticism from the three of you. but i just thought, and i am divided about this myself. i may be the only person on the panel that has been on both sides. when i was a lawyer, i hired expert witnesses, i hired historians to testify at trial. we had the person produce a report, and we wanted the report that was favorable to our side. and that is what we wanted. we wanted the person to be an ethical historian, but we wanted a report that was going to be favorable to our side. anything else, we would not be satisfied with. at the end of the day, i felt we were being ethical and the historian we hired had been ethical. i had to cross examine the historian on the other side, there are all kinds of complicated things. i signed one of professor brown-nagin's amicus briefs. at the end of this process, having participated, how do you all feel about this? why don't we start on the satisfiction of the effectiveness of what you have done. do you feel like it was worthwhile? would you advise other historians to do this in the fu

the history of the presentation of perspective of the new and indigenous elements in both of these books. william hogeland is the author of the autumn of the black snake. he writes and speaks and brings his banjo on topics that connect american history and today's political and cultural struggles, his focus is on insurrection, economic crisis, social class and conflicting american visions of democracy, equality and liberty. he has several critically acclaimed works of early us history included in the american collection and the university of texas covering america series. the autumn of the fifth snake is his fifth book. it begins in 1791. these are the indian wars many of us are less familiar with. he writes of the battle between the pioneers and indians and the political battle between important for your figures in american history. peter cozzens is author and editor of 17 books on the american civil war and american west and recipient of a number of awards including the most recent book, the prize for military history, very prestigious prize among historians. he recently retired from t

one of the greatest speakers of our time one of the most and one of the most influential members of the african-american community and america itself is frederick douglass. frederick douglass led the charge on pushing for freedom and in constant dialogue with abraham lincoln ensured that african-american men could fight on the battlefield for their freedom. behind me is a dynamic broadside that we were fortunate to receive where you see a call of r men of color to arms. you can only imagine how powerful that was for african-american men to understand they could suit up and fight for freedom and ensure the freedom of generations that follow them. again, frederick douglass played a pivotal role. while he insured african american could fight in the union army, he was also influential in a constant dialogue with president lincoln to ensure that freedom came through the emancipation proclamation and ultimately the 13th amendment. we would be remiss if we told the story of the civil war and left out his involvement. when you visit you will see artifacts that speak to the efforts of charlotte

any one of the members of the class of 1967 who are here.y challenge to all of you today is write your own story, right now in your mind. , see it, and go live it. write a historic story of service and selflessness and leadership, and then make it happen. many people wonder all their lives if they made a difference. as future leaders of the united states navy and marine corps, you will never have that problem. your lives will make a world of difference and do a world of good. members of the united states naval academy class of 2017, this is your day. and as you prepare to leave the special place, i urge you to make the principles and precepts you've learned here the anchor of your life. the example you saw in your peers, your professors, your commanding officers. never settled. i challenge you to uphold the highest standards of honor and duty of officers of the united states navy and marine corps, to be leaders in the mould of those who have gone before, like admiral natter. above all else, i say to you, have faith. leave here today with the

they were in an era of with the pursuit of justice and the pursuit of liberty.and the pursuit of happiness. and it was the way the law operated. so the idea of the puritans was even to the framework, and idiosyncratic memory. and when the - they did not have us possibility with the freedom of individuals to engage in sexual expression or abortion or contraception and the like. this was in their world, they took it for granted. and so it was a very different kind of a world. people asked me, why didn't the framers put in the constitution constitutional rights for things that sexual expression or abortion and so on?one of the reasons is because it did not occur to them anybody make those things illegal. they're not been the kind of history in their world with oppression in those rights which they regarded as perfectly parts of their freedom. if you said how do you go about laws being adopted that prohibited sexual impression or abortion? i think they would have been horrified. they would have.this is going back to the world of the puritans. that is what we have been coming out from under for

but there are a lots of forms of government involvement. there are of course tariffs and quotas but there are also a great many forms of nontariff barriers. commerce secretary ross recently raised the importance of all of these sorts of barriers, an important article in the financial times which i recommend that you read if you're interested in following up on the u.s. approach on this question. secretary ross's article, the trump administration, brexit and the election in britain create the opportunity not just to build a u.s./uk free trade area but for the u.s. and britain to take the lead in creating a new type of free trade area one that fulfills the promise of free trade for more open markets, for more and better jobs and more greater prosperity for everyone. there's no one that i can think of better placed to address these questions than our speaker today. director of economic policy and prosperity studies of the institute in london is one of the world's leading trade in competition lawyers. he is the former head of market access at s

treat them of religion, -- freedom of religion, freedom of .hat, freedom of fear what this meant by implication was that the countries had to win. if totalitarian countries won, it would not be shaped along those lines. was another commitment to britain in a way. in august 1941, roosevelt and churchill met secretly. this was not announced afterwards, off the coast of newfoundland and a conference on which they agreed on the atlantic charter. this is a charter telling a whole world that they stood for freedom. it was a sickly an elaboration of the four freedoms -- an basically an- elaboration of the four freedoms that they had announced earlier in the year. the meeting was one of great meetings in history, two of the greatest figures of the 20th century or for that matter of any century meeting on warship surrounded by a flotilla of warships and so on, the meeting of two great minds. winston churchill said, not on that occasion, but on other occasions, saying, meeting franklin roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne, a beverage which did a great deal to sustain churchill for 90

out of respect for the scheduling commitments of our witnesses and a unanimous request on the part of all our members, we will conclude this hearing at 11:30 in the interest of time and to ensure the members of the committee to be able to ask their questions i will be very brief. i know that comes as a disappointment, especially to the senator from south carolina. i'd ask our witnesses to please submit their written statements for the record. if they can, that's not required but -- anyway. last night's horrific attack in manchester was a gruesome reminder that the world is on fire. everywhere we turn we can see threats to the world, rules based order that underpins global security and prosperity. yet when it comes to the great national security challenges we face, u.s. policy and strategy are consistently lacking. whether it's china, russia, north korea, iran, terrorism -- i have heard few compelling answers about how the united states intends to use its alliance, trades, diplomacy, its values and most of all its military to protect and defend our national interests and the rules base

this is one of the hard parts of terrorism. we do not determine how a terrorist cell attack or when they attack. only the cell leader knows that for sure. he may have a fixed date. but there are things in which law enforcement might do in which he makes what we call a go, no-go decision. and they may say, hey, we've got all the devices here or we only have partial devices here, let's go now and abandon the, you know, the safe house and just effect our attack. that's what we saw in brussels. in fact, they found un -- you know, undetonated devices, devices that were impartial. so that means that law enforcement and their effectiveness did help precipitate an attack. you cannot predict it and you cannot do anything about it. it's just on the basis of what the terrorist individual, or terrorist or cell leader decide at that time. >> we should also be clear, there was appeared to be an attack by car outside parliament, i think it was just about six weeks ago or so, in london. we should also be clear that the uk is a place that is fa

the audience of citizens of these mostly muslim nations who are part of this meeting? >> well, fred, i think you really highlighted an important distinction there. the leaders versus the populist. for the leaders, particularly of the gulf sunni muslim countries and saudi arabia specifically, they are very happy with president trump. the relationship with president obama was not a good one. they were dismayed by the iran nuclear deal which gave iran a lot more power. they view iran as being an expo sensual threat. you saw that pleasant relationship exemplified that the king went to greet the president off of the plane. when president obama visited saudi arabia, the saudis sent the governor to greet him off the plane. this was almost seen as something of a snub. so, make no mistake, the sunni muslim countries are hopeful that there can be a reset of u.s.-arab relations underneath president trump that there can be a refocussing of the syria policy that there can be a future containing of iran. now when you're talking about the average sunni muslim arab living in the regio

is in control of 80% of the territory. we have made mistakes and acknowledge those. we have investigated those. we have been charged with things that we didn't do. we were supposed to have attacked a wedding. it never took place. we were supposed to have destroyed planes. these chargers per leveled at the kingdom and the coalition. they were not correct. the image prevailed that we were waging an aggressive for against the country. they were remote -- made to look like victims. they started this. they logged 40 ballistic missiles at our towns and cities. it is they who have violated thousands of times cease-fire arrangements put in place. it is they who have made 70 agreements and reneged on more than -- on every single one of them. when it comes to assist in saudi arabia has been the largest provider of him in and assistance to yemen. the areas under government control have no problem distributing aid. they steal the aid. they sell it to fund their war machine. the starvation exist because they laid siege on towns that wi

and that is the moment in which they feel that they are flesh of the flesh and bone of the bone of those old men who wrote the declaration. yes, the elector court. this is the sort of thing that lincoln saw. he saw the american experiment as embodying something that was more than just american. it was universal. captured in the decoration of independence about natural rights and natural law being shared equally by all human beings. these were things for him that trumped immediate nationality. he will go so far to say in his eulogy for henry clay, that clay loved his country partly because it was his country, but also because his country had shown how freemen could be prosperous. nationalist, but not a romantic nationalist as a so much of the 19th century was. he did not believe there was a mystical elements of race or blood or linguist or ethnicity that governed peoples behavior, rather what motivated everybody was the position of his natural rights. and the american experiment, by founding all of his political life on the equality of natural rights, had done something which was not just

all of the chairs of the committees of jurisdiction. it is not complicated. it is something that is done in other countries so that when these disasters be they fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, any disaster occurs, we can respond more quickly than we do now rather than allowing for the resideal remains of the kinds of disasters that we experience in this country. just this past weekend, at least 16 lives were lost and many people were injured in tornadoes in the states of alabama and mississippi and arkansas and floods in me missouri and we need to respond to those. additionally something else that i want to say that i consider to be important is the responsibilities of fema. while i believe they do an extraordinary job with what they allow -- allowed to work with, i don't know what it takes to get across to people that fema can only react when there are a certain number of people that have lost their homes. please know this. when one person loses their home to a natural disaster, it is just as important as if 1,000 or 100,000 lost thei

of thousands of women. it's still not enough. most of them can never leave here without the risk of being raped. last july, fighting broke out in the capital between government troops and rebels, and very little food was making it into the camp. in desperation, mothers were forced to venture out, searching for something to feed their families. just a few yards from the camp gates, this woman was grabbed, tied up, and violently assaulted. >> ( translated ): the children didn't have anything to eat for four days. so i decided to go outside and look for food. i at least had a small amount of money to go outside and buy something. i went to the market, but when i was coming back they grabbed me. they tied my hands with a piece of cloth, then they raped me. >> reporter: according to these women, rape here is often committed by gangs of government soldiers. >> ( translated ): six of them raped me and then i lost consciousness. they left me by the road, and some people came and found me and carried me back to the

it is clear that jacob zuma no longer commands the support of many of the most loyal members of your. it is not correct, equally, that the president does not enjoy support. the motion that the president must step down, it was tabled and it was defeated at the level of the national executive committee. it was tabled in parliament and it was defeated. so, the question that some among us have got a different view, and they want the president to go, it is a well—known, documented fact and it does not mean that a majority of anc members agree with that. we know as members of the anc that it is a national conference properly constituted and that if not, branches of the anc, through two thirds majority, that can call for a conference basically asking him to step down. we are going to a conference of which president zuma will step down as the president. that is happening in less than six months from now, going to the national conference of the anc in december. yes, well, you are talking about stepping down as leader of the anc, you're not talking about stepping down as the president of the c

next set of elections. briefly, a lot of results don't come through until friday. what can people expect for the rest of the night? will be interesting in the coming hours and especially chewing the day on friday is when we start getting the results of the new mayoral contests. six new posts. one likely to come from the west of england in the next couple of hours. the really interesting ones coming late on friday, in particular keep a night on the west midlands. very keenly fought contest between the conservatives and labour. a strong labour area, but if they continue to poll as poorly as they continue to poll as poorly as they have in the results so far, the conservatives could be confident that they can snatch that away from labour. a new post, an area where a labour. a new post, an area where a labour would have expected to win and potentially a win for anti— street, who used to runjohn lewis. —— andy street. widow novak yet and we won't get the result until about 5pm on friday. many thanks indeed. now it's time for hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sac

but we also think it's >> millions of people on the brink of starvation because of the impact of the fighting. we also think it is important to put the pressure on parties to come to the table and talk. we have efforts underway on both fronts. yemen, the rebels in those who have taken over the government have to know that they cannot sustain this fight. they have to know that they will never prevail militarily. they are only going to feel that when they feel the resistance militarily. it's important we keep the pressure on them. many will help them be much more precise with many of their strikes. it's important that pressure became don the rebels in yemen. we are actively engaged with others in the region to see if we can not advance by which we can bring this to a halt politically. work ahead ofof us. >> with regard to the reelection of rouhani, who they choose for their president is their business. we judgeperspective iran by its actions, not by its words. the iranians have said some things and done something else. they want to have better relations with us, then they attack. they

there is some kind of summary of a rule or some kind of description of an intent to regulate, some kind of pulmonary report of the effects of the rule and then a boom regulation pops out in some backroom and there are very few bases in which one can actually challenge that ruling get it we thought. compare that to what we have under the administrative procedure act. there are a few exceptions, but by and large an agency has to issue a proposal, that proposed rule has to go out for public notice and comment. that agency that has to issue a final rule built upon the record that includes that notice and comment in response agency makes to those comments and at the end of it all the agency is subject to judicial review. this works fairly well, lots of rules get challenged in court. lots of rules get remanded or struck down. sure, that is a costly process, but if you think of the incentives-- incentives for agencies to do a good job in rulemaking, one can see it's not a bad system. the public is involved early on in the have a chance to call the agency to account at the end. that is rare. no

what a cull of miles, there are thousands of people —— couple of miles, there are thousands of peoplet's what happens when a city is targeted by terrorism in the end you just have to go on. i've spoken to many people. they are shocked and they‘ re spoken to many people. they are shocked and they're devastated. they're also in pragmatic mode as well. as you know the prime minister has been chairing a meeting of the emergency committee, cobra. and we're going to talk to eleanor garnier now who is on whitehall. is the meeting still going on? victoria, we think the meeting has just finished. i'm standing outside the cabinet office and we have seen the cabinet office and we have seen the defence secretary, michael fallon, he left in the last few minutes as well as other ministers too. so we think the meeting probably started at 9am. it went on for around 15 minutes and it is the most senior meeting you can have in whitehall. there would have been the prime minister, the home secretary, other ministers too, but also very senior police officers and also security leaders. 0bviously what they

i do a lot of the reading of the history of science and the history of culture and books printed in theu feel what they are feeling, not just recounting, but look at the word they are using. we look back at the temperance movement in the banishing of alcohol. how could they have done that? if you read offense of the day in newspapers and magazines and articles in the "atlantic monthly," it is filled with accounts of families that were torn apart by the drunken husband who comes home and work spaces. they see the build up. it is fair. if you were alive back then, there's no reason to think he would've said no, you shouldn't do this. you just take everybody with the. culminating. we don't have an equal right amendment banishing the production and sale and consumption of alcohol outside of church religious ceremonies. so what will people in 20 years be reading about today to say what were you guys thinking? it's obvious, can't you see the trees? >> host: any significance to the fact to the factor when at january 29, a week after the inaugural? >> guest: i'm sure there was something that we

that creates this sort of abdication of responsability.e barristers are proud of their independence. they are self-employed. nobody can tell them to tidy their room. that's a big deal. >> they even have their power to give their clerks new names in case there is another clark. >> if you arrived at a junior clark and someone had the same name is you, you had a new one. >> speaking of english, there is a brokerage that has a reputation for going after wealthy british. >> their tactics have landed them in the crosshairs of financial regulators. here's reporter zeke fox. >> i feel like this is of story coming to a movie theater. but i feel it's already been done. >> all these stories are movies coming soon. >> they say they are the world's largest financial advisory firm, whatever that means. they have offices all over the world like hong kong, africa, basically anywhere you might find british ex-pats with money. oil workers in dubai. they are there. they hire brits to call other brits and say, now that you are offshore, you need to move your

of what sort of act, in your judgment, would go beyond this threshold of war? >> right. what i looked personally for me, what i look to do, could we define a set of criterias, intent, impact, the tactics or techniques that were used, could we develop a very specific set of criteria that would help us define this rather than this broad nebulous is the wrong world because it implies people aren't really focused on it, but this kind of general conversation we often tend to find ourselves in. i'm trying to mentally work myself through how could we get this down to a more specific set of attributes that would help us. that would be defined as an act of war, as an example. >> and one other thing. >> you say technical developments are outpacing law and policies. we find that in the commerce area also. do you need anything new in this next ndaa that you don't have now? >> i don't know specific to the nda in broad terms, you know, my input to the process has been we need to reassess authorities in delegation, we need to take a look at the right investments in manpower.

of norms, some kind of procedures that might help gain some of the savage whims of war. if you look at the challenges we face, the extraordinary effort to incorporate the rest of the world into the system, the rise of nuclear weapons, the dangers that permit poses, the dangers of chemical and biological weapons and how we have managed to deal with these issues. the outbreak of ebola and other diseases, they have been through international cooperation. through greater and greater consultation. of course, some has involved the un and some not. but surely, that is the kind of world we want rather than one where we hope somehow the countries that have nuclear weapons won't use them or the united states could just keep threatening countries to blow them off the face of the earth. the liberal international order is in inevitable because the alternative is unthinkable. > it neil you are up with your second rebuttal. >> i want to talk about history now. you see, what troubles me most about your argument is that we have heard something very similar before. if you go back to the l

it raises series of questions of obstruction of justice. is anyone, including the president of the united states, above the law. can they all be held, everyone be held accountable as they should be, under the rule of law. and this revelation. the statement that's been raised really raises that question. >> joining me now professor and lawyer at duke university. also joining us tim weaner, winning author who includes legacy of ashes, the history of the cia and enemies, history of the fbi. let's read national correspondent and the host of aj weekend. i want to start with you about your reaction to this material and what you believe the water will be in washington tomorrow add the republicans are trying to get through the night as quietly as possible, tomorrow it's not going to stay quiet. >> i've been interacting with a republican source and what they're saying is, donors are definitely, if not panicking, very very upset about this. you have republicans who have stood by donald trump for a lot of basic political reasons. they sense the chaos,

their story is one of selflessness, it's one of courage, and it's one of sheer commitment.so one of extraordinary sacrifice. more than 1 million americans who have answered the call to duty gave the last full measure of their devotion so their fellow citizens could live in freedom and raise their children in peace. today we honor the fallen from battlefields that served as weigh points in our history, saratoga to midway, chosen to fallujah, today we reflect on the enormity of the sacrifice. we reflect on the hopes and the dreams never realized. today we also reflect on the sacrifice of the families left behind. the anguish of parents, spouses, siblings and friends. the sadness of children growing up without their fathers or mothers. and we know that for the families, every day is memorial day. but today we also reflect on what's most important about the men and women we honor. we reflect on how they lived. they were people who stood for something larger than themselves. they were people who embodied the most important values and traditi traditions of our nation. they were p

of all. caught in this game of, -- the moment we allowed to be less than all children, we start leaving kids behind it various sorts. when we think about children with disabilities in general, that pushes us to the question of our schools designed or held accountable to meeting children's needs? in our societies, we lose track of that. we think about schools are going to import or do a set of things for different children and that's what it's going to do,. if you are fortunate to be among the kids were the school is doing enough, great. but if you're not, wish you the best of luck. in some cases, some children need more, some children need different, and there are a lot of elements. we were having this conversation last week over dinner at my parents house. my brother-in-law cush a softball team for students with disabilities at his high school that is designed to give kids who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to purchase a paid index of curricula sports. i played sports in school. my
