the port of portland is largely an export oriented port, although we have imports. you might be able to see in the distance, an auto ship, and they are offloading out toyota's coming from japan. just this side of that terminal is a facility that exports soda ash, and ironically, it is a major commodity used in the manufacture of glass, many of it auto glass, so these companies come in with windows made from soda ash that is being exported on the other side of the terminal. when those cars are old and not working anymore, they go right over here to a steel shredding facility, where it is shredded, put on vessels, and sent back to japan or china for remounting -- -- re-melting or remanufacturing. grain is a major export, wheat, soybeans, corn, a lot of that exported. some of it coming down the columbia five large. -- columbia by barge. much of it for writing by train. we have a tremendous rail infrastructure here in portland that has been developed, largely because of port operations. i should also say canadian ash is a major export. they have a huge terminal, where i

i came to the port authority board meeting to get answers from officials.y officials have not given up the fight for a brand-new port authority bus terminal. the senators were here to address the board. i spoke to senator gordon about the bus terminal. >> much of the labor force coming to new york city is coming from new jersey. the major growth in employment and manhattan is likely to be coming from new jersey. those folks are going to need a way to get to work. the bus terminal is just essential to that. >> i asked port authority officials where we stand in terms of getting a new bus terminal. when we think we stand in terms of getting a new bus terminal? what about new york's? >> we have undertaken as we indicated a construction and feasibility in rebuilding the facility on site is one of the options to be considered. we are optimistic the processes on track. >> it changes notoriously slow at the port authority. i am hopeful we will get that bus terminal eventually in a couple of years. there are some new members of the port authority board that started

cutting mostly to the ports of entry. what other technology do we need in order to get what we are missing? i know what we are getting what we are obviously missing a lot still. because of the epidemic that we have going on in our country. what does doing it? >> it is very challenging. with the numbers across the border, it is very difficult to suspect all of those. we rely on intelligence and we rely on our targeting capability. the advanced information that we have. a lot of the time comes up your instinct and training of the officer went they sensed that something is wrong with an individual. by the twopounded main pathways that we have from china that is track to the international mail system. the volume is just overwhelming in that environment. e-commerce continues to skyrocket. there are but 200 million parcels last year and there is a significant increase this year. it is very difficult in that environment they will hide in the numbers. now we have very dedicated men and women who use all of the tools that we have

take cover, port royal, regardless. you will have a strong to severe thunderstorm, winds 50, 60 miles per hour. king george and staff have been placed under a severe thunderstorm warning. that now until 7:30. this storm, you see the rains the lot of lightning there. 6:45 and i keep stressing doppler indicated. we have the ability to see this in the storms. that is why the weather service issued the tornado warnings. is they would like to get a heads up on and we'll treat it as such. we would rather be on the safe side here and keep you safe and advised of the storm as it moves down the river there and into port royal. this is reflectivity. we're bouncing off of the raindrop and seeing what is going on. we're looking at what the winds are doing now in velocity mode. the green red is away. to me, the area to watch, this looks more interesting than a moment ago. it would be the area north of bayer up to. i will zoom in tightly. south of travis mill. this is the area when you look at the velocity mode where you have, you kn

northern portugal's duro valley is where port comes from., it's just fortified wine. ♪ and i don't usually do wine scenes, no matter how good the wine. on camera, it's just colored liquid going into a glass. wine nerds usually bore me. don't talk about your damn wine, drink it. but i absolutely love cheese served with a glass of port wine, and that's what most people, including my new friend andre, that's what they do around here. i'm not a dessert guy, but nice blue cheese with a glass of port for me is like the perfect thing to end a meal with. unlike wine, cheese porn is easy, just like shooting actual porn. start with an establishing shot, move in for a close -- oh yeah, there we go. cut away to a reaction. money, works every time. oh, that's -- it's delicious. what kind of cheeses are we looking at here? >> andre: these over here are goat cheese. they're aged ones. then all of the other are sheep milk. this is worldly known quiejo da serra, so the buttery one. this is what we call quiejo azeitão. it's strong, intense to your palate. >>

we brought in some beers from port city brewing company.c about this. >> how did this come about? why? >> i you know been around the area noted as an activist, i was pretty active against the trump campaign before it started. ben sass is a republican senator and he became a vocal component of the campaign and even now of the trump administration. he and i don't see eye to eye idealogically but at the same time, i think it's so important for us to have conversations with opposing views, i think that's one thing learned this past cycle is that obviously there's a disconnect in our communities. you know, and we need to reach out to neighbors with opposing viewpoints, i was honored that he accepted the invitation. >> ben sass from nebraska, not very long ago as you take a sip. even though you're on the left side of things when you look at sass politics, are there other things that he stands for that may be you see common ground with? >> well, you know, i've said this before. for any elected official. we all believe that we want to make this cou

the mitigating wait times at the port of entry require adequate staffing at the ports of entry and that is why we must re- prioritized the accounting fund them to help the economy so i know chairman carter is helpful of this. >> thank you mr. chairman. i rise in strong support of the captured amendment which would remove funding from ice enforcement and unreasonable increases to detention and use it more wisely including two combat the real epidemic facing the nation. their presence is quietly undisturbed to be in tripled up cross-border trade. listen to these numbers. the national human trafficking outline received reports of 8,042 cases of human trafficki trafficking. a 35% increase from 2015 we must provide law enforcement with the tools to eliminate human trafficking and frankly increase awareness. in this socioeconomic status is robustly funding initiatives to the far better use of taxpayer dollars then increased enforcement and detention beds vote for the amendment. for much of the reasons the gentle lady from new york just went through a it's important that the nation currently s

that was by design through the channel coast cutting off the british army and taking the channel port so why did the british end up that way? because they took every other channel there is only one channel port for the british a very unsuitable place in many ways. not a place to get into. the beach was wide without any cover. the tides were a danger factor because as the tides go down the beach extends out so you needed the even smaller boat to get up to the beach. every reason why dunkirk should not be the right place but it was the only port left for the british so there was no choice. they had to go there. >> as the crow flies it is the channel from dunkirk to dover is about 30 miles but nobody could do that first of all, because of the minefield that up by the british involve either going south to dover or to go north and go round which is very dangerous. so that would be a journey of about 73 nautical miles. so they would choose those very dangerous groups and then the other of 50 nautical miles they had all of their artillery the 73 miles was considerable in the rough water of t

, not land ports just for the record. as a member of the senate intelligence committee, i'm aware that foreign countries are continually tried to penetrate our national security measures in order to gain espionage on the united states. and some of that could include foreign nationals or vulnerabilit vulnerability? >> yes, sir, it is. that's one of the reasons we started our domestic man tass program, one is the vulnerabilities identified in the gao report many years ago suggested that students could come here to study a non-sensitive field of study and then subsequently change their major to something more sensitive and there was a loophole in the system for them to do that so we created a domestic mantas to track that and thus far have identified several hundred people, i don't have the exact stats with me, that have actually used that process and, as a result of whittling it down, we are looking at people studying in higher education, masters degrees or ph.d.s, that kind of thing. we've come up with 11 leads sent to the

it's asked european ministers to open up other ports in europe to rescue boats — but that request haseen refused. emmanuel macron has told france it needs to confront the realities of the modern world. until now, too often we have taken the wrong path. procedures are taken precedence over results, rules or what initiative, living off the public pass over fairness. qatar has delivered its response to a list of demands from its arab neighbours — saying they are so extreme they seemed deliberately designed to be rejected. these pictures are causing a storm in the us. they're of newjersey governor chris christie enjoying a day empty beach with his family — a beach he'd closed to the public. and if you want to get in touch at any time... our contact details are on the screen throat. —— throughout. i want to start with europe's migrant crisis. more than 80,000 have tried to cross the mediterranean into europe this year. most begin in libya and try to reach italy. but many end up being rescued and the italian government wants other countries to open their ports to those. france already says

into the country over the time so let's say 739,000 land and sea ports. we know the attack was committed five of them are visa overstays and shortly not everybody that overstays is a national security threat. just so we can understand how do you identify those people to senator blumenthal's point and what do we need to do in order to make sure that we are enforcing the terms of their entry into the country and exit. maybe you are the one to take this question that we will not do that unless let's say for example, they commit an offense and get arrested that would be one way to identify yourself as a visa overstays. >> one of the things we are doing to address that issue is linking the systems that we have both on the front end through the security programming on the back and through the overstay betting program so we are looking at the front end when the person is vetted when they apply for a visa if they make it through the vetting and subsequently enter the united states we are continuously vetting and if they potentially becoming overstay through the s

it sort of closes its ports and closed until matthew perry opens japan's ports to in 1853. now, i would suggest to you that country in had the intervening last part of the really embraces the ndustrial revolution more so than japan. and there's a huge change. japan builds a new army. models it after germany. builds a new navy. great britain. forward onto ps the world stage. the first conflict starts in 1894. says japan,the west oh, japan is an up start. they can't take on china. well, not only does japan take on china, but japan wins. our story in world ar ii is as part of that, the formosa -- there's my clicker. is in factof formosa japanese territory after that treaty with china going ahead ending that conflict. first war, what happens? japan moves into korea. sort of a state of japan at that point. and it puts japan on a collision ourse with that other great power in the far east, russia. we all know about the russo-japanese war, 1904-1905. with a sneak t attack on the russian fleet at port arthur. there.stroyers in there. it's very much a surprise attack and the results

so let's say 70 739,000 land and sea ports.we know that the 9/11 attack was committed, 19 out of the hijackers, five of the hijackers were overseas. sure that anyone who overstays ias a national security threat, to your point, mr. rodi, but just so we can understand, how do you identify those 739,000 to people, to senator blumenthal said .? what we need to do in order to make sure we enforcing the terms of their visa and entry into the country and exit on a timely basis? my precious, mr. rodi, maybe you want to take this question -- my impression -- we will not do that unless lexi for example, commit an offense and get arrested.. that would be one way to identify yourself as a visa we overstay, right? >> i'm very glad you asked that question and one of the things were doing to address that issue is linking and embedding programs where both on the front and to our visa security program and on the back in to our overstay embedding program. t so linking the two programs together an overarching lifecycle program we're looking to at

the ship comes into the port of trapani in sicily.ocal prosecutor is investigating whether some ngo ships may be facilitating illegal immigration. the ngo missions are coordinated by the italian coast guard, but the country's legal system has launched two investigations into whether they are saving lives or assisting illegal immigrants on theirjourney. do you feel that by rescuing these boats that the ngos are somehow encouraging the people smuggling trade? there are critics that have accused ngos of acting as a taxi service to europe. the ngos argue that if they weren't operating in the area then more lives would be lost. back on the quay, the save the children ship is preparing to continue its mission. since last september, the boat has rescued more than 4,000 migrants at sea, including over 500 children. hi, david. i asked the captain what he thought of claims that ngos were acting as a taxi service to migrants and people smugglers. yes, i have heard that before and i think i can see why people say that, but the evidence is absolut
