on. india is looking to modernize. me cities are to be built between the capital new delhi and the financial hub mumbai. but. the first one will be delay or dubbed the dream city by plan is dilemma is to be the epitome of efficiency and luxury. it's a dream that india's prime minister in a renter modi is committed to turning into reality. dilemma is also said to be a smart city a perfect world with a perfect design as highlighted in this promotional video. in your head going to be. at one of the board of la this conference remarked i did a. millionth of all. the government wants to build one hundred smart cities throughout india in some cases existing cities will be retrofitted with modern technology well others will be built from scratch. for the first time we're going to run a competition in india to determine where the smart cities will be built. these intelligent urban centers come with all the latest technology energy will come from renewable resources security is an absolute top priority and a network traffic control syste

this year lots of chatter, by the way, about one city that's not on the list, detroit. we talked about that earlier but you can look through the list right there and i know there's some people at this table rooting for newark at this point. >> or philadelphia >> or philadelphia. >> i love to see that. new york city would be interesting. did you see, i hadn't put two and two together they have washington, washington d.c., maryland, southern maryland and northern virginia which is kind of like -- they've got three different locations in d.c. >> it's possible you might consider colleges and talent. >> right. >> coming from an area.

we're a city on the rise, we're drive, but imagine a thriving city with the backdrop of all the historic riches we have here as well. >> so we're going to a historic neighborhood right flou now then. >> we're headed to church zblil what makes it distinct? >> it's part of the original layout of the city of richmond. you're about to see the original part of the city right here on the right, saint john's church. >> tell me for those who don't know what happened at saint john's church, tell me about that spot. >> i know many people who have their textbooks out right now. ever hear of a guy named patrick henry when he gave the famous speech give me liberty or give me death, which was a prerun tort revolutionary war. >> it happened right here. you still preserved the church. when you go through richmond you're walk among history next to these modern restaurants and shops. how do you make sure that you keep that mod nod to history al while advancing the city. >> this is about tourism, what attracts people to your city. i think one of the most attractive things, not only do we have great histori

cities network. some of them are and we those who are not we encourage them to join. one point i want to mention is when people think of cities to partner with international cities, the first one may be like los angeles or minneapolis. when you have repeated delegations going to the same city, that's taxing on their schedules and we want connections that people who have the time, capacity to engage their international counter parts. let's say today we exchange business cards. we want connections where when we introduce them to their u.s. counter parts they have the ability and the interest in following up and forming partnerships that require a lot of time and effort. each delegation has five to nine people and typically include someone from the mayor's office, law enforcement official, religious leader and representatives from civil society. one delegation will spend a week in the other's city meeting with range of stakeholders and a few months later the two cities will trade roles. it's hard to quantify the success of a program but in one case we can. there was once the

michael: one example is the strong cities has an online hub. we don't necessarily expect the mayor to access the website, but it's important that there is one place to go where people can go to look for this information. a working level person from the city. i will also mention the global -- the gctf, global counterterrorism forum. the united states and other countries have invested in, it's called the lifecycle, radicalization to violence initiative if you google it, i know it's a mouthful, if you google it there is a website that keeps -- it constantly is updated with all of the good or est practices. the one thing i'll point out, adam, is that to join or support a terrorist organization like isis, there is all this information on the internet. so you just google isis or some key terms. you find a website or a chatroom. someone will engage you. there are tool kits, how to commit violent acts. the magazine, inspire , or even like a larger document like the management of savagery which teaches you how to do all this stuff, then you have mentorsh

india's first so-called smart city was built on his fields around the clock there are people working here for customers all over the world. fifteen years ago this was all just fields now an entire city has been built on land that i used to farm. here in my carpet our city we now have people working in twenty six parks . mother potter is a showcase city it reflects everything that i would like to be efficient clean and safe. it was built by investors with the promise of rapid growth and a new prosperity. start cities like this one are now planned for areas all over the country it's hoped they will bring the kind of progress india is looking for. so. we've come to shankar modest home. his telling his two grandchildren how life suddenly changed when the city was built . it was a dramatic transformation. look this was our old house. was right next to it. that's where we kept our livestock the family owned thirty five hectares of land they turned it over to investors who know run the new city. by the law and as a farmer i only had one set of clothes. they arrest me i would watch my clothes

met with the mayors in these cities and visitsed atlanta. one thing i would like to point out, rather obvious, but cities are not necessarily comparable to -- their large cities are not comparable to our large cities. so it didn't make sense smaller countries to go to big cities. n not to say that atlanta is not ha small city, but chat noog ha, they did have the opportunity to sit down, meet with the mayor, the police chief, everybody who is involved in the attack from two years ago. that was extraordinarily for this group and quite inspiring for them. some of the members of the delegation, one has become a member of parliament. one is the national coordinator for coso var. and one is minister of culture and sports. so we've also had some nice returns in terms of deliverables from that exchange. i'd like to talk about the next steps. a few of the things that we are planning in the future. u.s. conference of mayors. on january 24th, the state department is hosting a workshop for dough please particulmestic countries. we are going to expect about

cities then they are able to console each other. to provide mentorship or partnership and so, i think that's one of the values of the strong cities network. it's great when we can connect mayors but it's the working level people who are working on these issues and there's no one else in the building who knows what they are dealing with. we like to talk about metrics. how do we know -- that was your question. how do we know what we're funding is working. i think it's important for them to connect. they have and i would say that i definitely don't want to take the credit for everything that i presented on. we work closely with dhs, and our embassies. it's critical our embassies identify the right people. not so say i've seen a bad exchange but i've seen some really good exchanges and it's because they were able to recruit dynamic people. just because someone is the highest ranking, doesn't mean they're the best fit for that exchange. i think the embassy, having those connections whether it's through the public affairs or the political sections, it's critical that they recruit these people. the biggest, one of the biggest challenges we have

the only city from this coast, the west coast on that list is los angeles. city outside the u.s. is toronto, canada. it has tons of engineering talent close by. an interesting candidate given the current political environment. now other contenders include cities that already have ties to amazon or jeff bezos like austin and washington, d.c., and where he himself bought a home last year the other cities on the list like boston, chicago, atlanta, philadelphia, they're pretty much the ones you'd expect they all meet amazon's criteria of talented workforce, good public transportation, access to major airport. at least one city though has already expressed disappointment about not making the list, michigan governor rick snyder issued a statement this morning saying, "it's disappointing that we will not be welcoming a new amazon headquarters to detroit michigan's spirit is unstoppable and so is our come back. this won't set us back we're accelerating to the next opportunity. so what's next in this process the project moves into the next phase which includes furthe

it is not based on any analysis. city college just last month in november authorized hiring somebody to do an analysis. what's going to happen when you lose all 2,000 parking spaces for a college they want to increase the enrollment? it's now free. so, they said that there is no basis in fact on this report and they reject it in it's entirety. but they are going forward to do a study and i think they are going to conclude there is no alternative other than to retain that parking space. but we submit this commission shouldn't approve this report and it's already stated it's preliminary and without basis in numbers. and you're going to increase 1,100 new units that this area? the traffic is going to be horrible. what we submit is look at the resolution. the resolution says the transportation authority adocuments this report. how can -- adopts this report. how can you adopt something without any basis in facts or numbers? we suggest that need to be paid. that's what you should be doing here. not putting a rubber stamp on thi

it is one of the first major cities to fall. new york has fallen to the british in september of 1776. a couple of months later, the british were able to move into newport which at the time was one of the six largest cities in north america and one of the most important commercial posts. the first real attempt of the americans to try to this life the british is not until 1778. that still ties into the broader strategic issues. it has become the french/american alliance. the french and americans signed a treaty in 1778. it gives washington what he covets, which is french naval support along with american ground troops. they can try this new a life out, this new over alliance out, is later that summer when a french fleet arrives in their dance at harbor. -- narragansett harbor. there is an assumption among people like the american commander, john sullivan, from massachusetts. he is known for his bravery and enthusiasm. he is not known for being moderate or temperate. but washington puts him in command of the operations to take back

legislate oars and leaders like mayor de blasio who want their city to be a sanctuary place for legals even when they are committing crimes. shame on mayor de blasio for not showing up at a infrastructure meeting with president of united states, we know that new york city needs help with transportation and infrastructure. and for mayor of city the greatest city in the world to throw a temper tantrum on social media and boycott a meeting with the president is absolutely outrageous. mr. mayor, you can have your opinions on immigration and disagree po on policy but to not show up at table you have done a terrible disservice to all your constituents in new york, i will bill spadea, i'll be back tomorrow night, thank you for having us in your home tonight. >> we have whimps in our society. >> my hair is not my wardrobe. that is who i was born with. >> covers today's topics, you have to hit it from all sides. >> there has been back and forth. >> no matter how you see it. >> your opinion, your point of view. >> a big deal for should. spadea, week >>> we begin tonight at 11:00 with breaking news. congressman pat meehan deciding not to run

hundreds of people have been turning up to see it on a disused bridge in the city. t's his work on social media. not everybody is happy about it — one city councillor said today, it's vandalism and should be rubbed off. matthew bone has the story. the bankside area of hull is no stranger to graffiti, but this latest addition is a little different. the artwork certainly looks like a banksy, and the artist seemed to confirm its identity on social media. it has caused a lot of interest. this is a quiet, old industrial part of hull, but ever since rumours of the banksy appeared last night, a steady stream of people have come here today to check it out for themselves. it's really good. fantastic. i like the way that the writing on that is like on a chalkboard or a school. i like his shoes. he has got a nice pair of shoes on. you've got to wear a nice pair of shoes. of the hundreds of people who have come along to see it, gavin is more excited than most. a lifelong banksy fan, he walks around the corner. for me, the culture i grew up with, it is a dream come true. what doe

but the fundamental change between the nairobi i knew as a boy and the city of today is one of size the population has grown eight hundred percent a small manageable city has become a vast metropolis right my first stop was at the downtown arts complex run by joy boyer she's a woman of many talents actor singer architect and defender of nairobi's heritage. now in the one nine hundred seventy s. kenya was a defacto one party state few dead question president joe moken yatta. today it's a multi-party democracy so i wanted joy to tell me if nairobi's artists now have more freedom of expression since our sort of multi-party elections and particularly two thousand and two we in the cultural sector began to nourish notice the shift we saw a younger generation sort of pick up the baton so to speak from previous artists and be bolder in terms of the themes that they were tackling with with music and with the spoken word we saw a new art forms emerging contemporary dance you know sort of sprang into the scene and then of course now with the sort of digital age we're seeing a lot more younger peo

after the wars all rising had been put down in one thousand nine hundred four the city was systematically destroyed houses and churches were blown up one after the other the germans knew the defeat was imminent and they were determined that not a stone should be left standing this senseless act of destruction had no military value it was carried out with only one aim in view to rob the polish people of their history and their national identity. my lord by the time the german troops withdrew eighty four percent of warsaw had been flattened the old city was in ruins huge piles of rubble almost obliterated what remained of the houses. the warsaw's fate was no different from that of many other cities the manner in which it rose up again from the ruins is practically unparalleled. warsaw was founded in the thirteenth century for a long time it remained a rather unimportance small town. like most mediæval towns it did not develop randomly but according to a fair full flan a rectangular marketplace forms the center and the streets are arranged around it so that the whole resembles a chess board
