wanted to have everybody together in the same room to discuss the strategy for defeating the third reich. i actually had access to some of the diplomatic cables, or virtually all the diplomatic cables running back and forth between these three guys. i excerpted them at crafted them into a conversation, more of an argument, between the big three. roosevelt said, joe, we would like to get together, why don't you and i meet in alaska? joe said no. roosevelt and churchill got together and asked stalin, they said, we will meet in cairo, we have a conference in cairo coming up in november. why don't you come down and meet with us there? joe said no. churchill got biblical and talked about there being -- about setting up three tents in the desert, or in iraq and having each of the big three in a tent and having their meeting there. joe said no. joe wanted to meet in iran because it was close to the soviet union. he wanted to meet close to the soviet union because there were people inside his government that he did not trust. come to think of it, there was nobody in his government that he did tr

why not let him cheat just one more time. >> does that play into this, robert reich? >> well, obviously it does. i think the most powerful part of this, actually proceeding, and what the house did today in terms of delivering these articles is the fear expressed very, very specifically that donald trump as president will continue to abuse his power unless he is stopped. i mean, everybody understands that these articles of impeachment actually are -- occur in the shadow of allegations over russia. >> let me draw you out on that because you are speaking here to someone who served president clinton who faced criticism for what people called personal behavior. many people saying it was abhorrent. but many, including ultimately republicans, saying it was not of the abuse of office, the quote-unquote, high crime the founders were concerned about. what you're laying out does seem somewhat different. president clinton was talking about the past perjury civil case. you're arguing, you agree with schiff, this is really about whether donald trump will get to continue publicly or

in fact one of the historians call the men the foot soldiers of the third reich that is what they did often known by the jews as men wearing the black coats and black hats some call them the ukrainians because some were from ukraine or that region but there were many others. the ss came up with the incredible system because they were given wages and housing and food and service medals for work done well and vacation and all kinds of honors if they died they received proper burial. especially coming from soviet pow camps serving the enemy seemed like an option because of some other horrible death. this camp was set up in the first deployment as a historical and religious center for thousands of polish jews more than 40000 jews live in poland in 1939 and held leadership positions on the council meeting members of the business community just a thriving jewish culture in 1939 when it was here two of the main characters in my book met. they were just children in many ways those born in the same town their family was friends and his father was an interpreter before the war the other was an

these were men who essentially became the foot soldiers of the third reich and it became their base. this is where they were armed, this is where they were trained and this is where they were issued deployment orders to go across occupied poland and helped the ss annihilate the jews. these were the men who did the bloodiest jobs in occupied poland and trazegnies was essentially a school for mass murder in occupied poland set up by the ss. in fact one of the historians in the book called the men of trazegnies the foot soldiers of the third reich. they were often known by the jews as the men wearing white coats and black hats. some village survivors called them ukrainian because some of the men were from ukraine or that region but there were many many others lithuania and latvia the ss really came up with an incredible system because these men were given wages. they were given housing. they were given food. they were given service medals for work that was done well. they were given vacations. they were given all kinds of honors. for these men especially men who came from soviet p.o.w.

well monica the 1st reason reich's bank is naming in its report is that inflation is on target just like the european central bank here in the euro area the mandate of the rykes bank in sweden is to provide price stability and that is defined at the inflation rate you know an increase of consumer prices of 2 percent on average or slightly below that. but unlike in the eurozone in sweden this target has been met for quite a while now what's more the rykes bank is concerned about the negative implication the negative consequences of negative interest rates as well namely the very high prices on the real estate market in sweden high house prices and the high amount of debts that swedish households are sitting on also credit card debt this is something that obviously the right spend wanted to sue to do something about ok well when it comes to real estate we certainly familiar with this problem do you think this could trigger others especially the european central bank to follow suit . not in the short term because well in the euro area the inflation target of 2 percent or slightly below that

in a period not unlike today it was virtually crushed robert reich. a very very . young and. by the mid series it began to reconstruct. the dozen or is felt he himself was rather sympathetic to chris if legislation that would be in the benefit of the general population but he had to somehow get it passed so he informed the labor leaders and others forced me to do it. what he meant is it going to help demonstrate we're going to protest develop the labor movement. when the popular pressures fission be able can through the legislation you know i am not for a we're. still last definition number 11 a i doubt which many. great people well being gradually read your mind in. truly feel. i prefer that broad definition. so there was a kind of combination of a sympathetic government and by the mid thirty's very substantial but bitter activism. there were industrial action there were sit down strikes which are very frightening 2. 100 ships. have to recognize a sit down straight is just one step before saying we don't need bushes we can run this by ourselves. and business was told. you re

in fact, one of the historians in the book called the men the foot soldiers of the third reich. that is what they did. wsey were often, they were often known by the jews as the mainwaring black coat and black cats some jewish survivors call them the ukrainians because some of the men were from ukraine or that region, but there were others, many, many others, lithuania and latvia. the ss really came up with an incredibleit system because thee men were given wages. they were given housing, they were given food, they were given service medals for work that was done well. they were given vacations. they were given all kinds of honors, if they died they received proper burials. m so for these men especially men who came from soviet pow camps serving the enemy seems like a decent option because in soviet pow camps they faced likely starvation or death, or some other kind of horrible death. and so this camp was set up and the first to point was to the city of -- which you can see on the map, which was a historical cultural and religious center for thousands of poland jews. more than 40

there's a reason why when something is easy, say it's not reich@encinas because actual rocket science is hard. so we are not going to ding boeing there. but it's a much bigger thing on the production halt. you know the thing on cell cycle for aircraft are very large gray decades, so the fact that it's halting is a temporary halt is not a big deal the scheme of things. however, i think it's an open question for investors at a very fair question to say is this really a halt? is this temporary? are we going to reach a.where the 3737 max returns to service impute customers are happy in every thing is okay. twenty years ago when you booked a flight, you might've called a travel agent, you might've had no idea what kind of plane you're going on. today do it on your phone. all the details are right there. 737 max is now a brand. i don't know how you solve that problem if your boeing? >> and i've read the suspension of production could ding the economy because boeing is the largest expert order in this country. it gets courts from all over the country. it's a big problem. >> if you're an inve

but in october 1939, auschwitz was annexed as part of the german reich, it was a german exterminationon stressing this fact, it is important that we clearly identify the perpetrators. we germans owe this to the victims and we owe it to ourselves. to keep alive the memory of the crimes committed, to identify the perpetrators, and to commemorate victims in a dignified manner — that is our enduring responsibility. it is not open to any negotiation, and it is an integral part, and will forever be an integral part, of our country. german chancellor, angela merkel. the most powerful single political group in lebanon is hezbollah ? the ally and protege of iran. it fought in syria on the side of the assad regime, and is with iran at the top of israel s list of enemies. britain and the us and others regard it as a terror group. but its influence is key to bringing an end to the protests that have swept iran in recent weeks. the organisation gives very few interviews, but our middle east editor, jeremy bowen, was able to talk to its deputy leader, naim qassem, in beirut, and get a rare chance t

by the idea that this american president would invoke god in a prayer against this wonderful third reich as we know, they were right to be concerned about the casualties that could ensue, but the casualties turned out to be relatively modest invisibility and things were not only a historic success, but where the two would hitler have always feared. hitler had said to his generals months before d-day this will be the deciding battle between world war ii. he didn't say this will be the deciding how this campaign. he said the deciding battle of world war ii and it was. and my father lost so many men in normandy, his battalion within days he was already moving into belgium and holland and by december of 1944, he was on the border of germany for which he won the distinguished service order at age 25. what i was doing at age 25 -- i have every bit of admiration for those people who risk and especially those who lost their lives in the mighty endeavor as fdr called it. but i think it also, speaking now as a biographer who has spent so many years writing these long the doors will have to close.

charlie company was in iraq.at reich was there, that's one reason we didn't have much in terms of reste were spending one week in the cemetery and a week out where we provide visual officers like me or maybe an individual casket team. today but i try to do is, because you don't have the same strain, one in every four weeks, the other either on support company, having tased in the cemetery when you need extra summary soldiers, they maintain infantry skills and everyone there still remains in victory or they have elite, soldiers ler do administrative work and so forth. >> i was wondering if there's an emotional component to this. when you're involved in 30 ceremonies in a day, what's that like inside? >> it can be emotional, no doubt about that. there is an effort todi create a bit of distance between the soldiers and family. we don't get much in the way of advanced knowledge of the soldier we are laying to rest. we get 40 hours out and has last name, first initial, service rank, religious preference if any and reasons for burial. the chaplains at arlington cemetery are the ones who have

, south midwest reich -- strike. in arkansas, 3000 real workers participate. most of them are white. some african-americans. that plays as a impressive biracial coalition. that is then crushed. court junctions issued against the strikers. the strike is over in two months in arkansas and everywhere else. ends,1886, after that there was a plantation strike just south of little rock. in this case, 40 african-american farmhands who had been on organized, and organizer came in and organize a local chapter and these 40 hands, including some women, go on strike for wage rises. this is an all-black workforce organizing striking in the heart of jim crow era. surprising, is, not the white sheriff of the county, robert worthington, who had already crossed the railroad strike, he comes in with deputies and 5 a.m. in the morning, they come to the door of the leaders. the deputye door, shoots him with a double barrel shotgun. he seriously wounded him. he survived ok, basically. when news gets out, 250 african-americans come to the

for two months so welcome, tonight we are excited to have with us eric lichtblau with return to the reich whose life tells an incredible story of world war ii hero is in. based on research and interviews with him itself whom the author was able to meet only months before his death at the age of 94 returned to the rich is an eye-opening of world war ii heroism and it's an incredible story that i am excited to hear more about. eric lichtblau a two-time pulitzer prize journalist is a best-selling author of the nazi next door and the remaking of american justice. here was a washington reporter for the new york times for 15 years while writing for the los angeles times, the new yorker time and other publications. he has been a frequent guest on npr, msnbc, c-span who we have here tonight and other networks as well as a speaker of many universities and institutions. he lives outside washington, d.c. without further ado let's give it up for eric. thank you so much. >> thank you very much for having me. at your beautiful new facility. it's pitiful. i used to buy so many books when we need more pe

you see it in this partisanship, which is bpg being reich but fail to do the bigger challenge.eiling is krsing and the only way we've done big things in the pass when, in. that's why i'm running and that message on the ground is persuasive and we believe ultimately what we saw with everybody, even john kerry goes on to poll 4% and then goes to iowa. >> you do use it to raise money. >> that's because we have this artificial thing we've never seen before. >> this litmus test. >> to make the debate stage. >> 4% in two national polls or one at 6% -- >> the fact they're using polling is a new challenge for us. that's why we've been saying please go to cory bush is not on. pete b.j. did constant commercials! >> thank you for being tough on an issue that i think forget the part andship,s this go to the heart of what the really threat will be. russia wants us to attack the media. all of this is from their play book. we can't appreciate into there hands. >> i never thought i'd see anything like this where i'm going to have to beg a republican congressman that prau praush, lisa page comi

[applause] and what it means, and i'll be very brief, i'm talking about our criminal justice program isfirst of all , picking up on the young man's question, we should be investing in our young people and education and job training rather than building more jails and having more incarceration. i'll give you an exampleof what i mean by that . in vermont, i was down there a couple of years ago and i high school which is primarily a working-class high school and she said bernie, i love the kids in the school and i am going to do everything i can to make sure none of them dropout because

there's a reason why when something is easy, say it's not reich@encinas because actual rocket sciencerd. so we are not going to ding boeing there. but it's a much bigger thing on the production halt. you know the thing on cell cycle for aircraft are very large gray decades, so the fact that it's halting is a temporary halt is not a big deal the scheme of things. however, i think it's an open question for investors at a very fair question to say is this really a halt? is this temporary? are we going to reach a.where the 3737 max returns to service impute customers are happy in every thing is okay. twenty years ago when you booked a flight, you might've called a travel agent, you might've had no idea what kind of plane you're going on. today do it on your phone. all the details are right there. 737 max is now a brand. i don't know how you solve that problem if your boeing? >> and i've read the suspension of production could ding the economy because boeing is the largest expert order in this country. it gets courts from all over the country. it's a big problem. >> if you're an investor,

for more in this let's bring in robert reich, former federal prosecutor. wish list there, do republicans get that wish list you think? >> the baker signal is because this is a partisan effort in the house of representatives and the president now has clearly signaled that he does not intend to participate, his participation will be in the senate where there is going to be a trial if articles of impeachment are favorably reported out of the house judiciary committee and onto the full floor of the house before presumably the end of the year, it is a wish list but what it suggests is that an equal and opposite reaction is going to meet the democrats in the united states senate. if the democrats want to play politics with this regarding impeachment in the house, then what you can expect in the senate is there will be an equal rejoinder there. >> there were other lawmakers on the air earlier that's at the same thing, if you want to go ahead and get over to the senate and get embarrassed you are welcome to. is that what is really going to happen? >> i think the a

the brain and guys and all these people that started true version number one lied to congress bob reich was totally gets away with it because he's on the team. they could see the photograph of this man crying, member the photograph outside the oval office the day after the election with susan rice crying like a little child? and they realized then when the lawyer of his comes to the defense, other than the real weird allegations like i've got security clearances for kids come for guys who up and put ay for child pornography. i don't know if i'll be admitting that on twitter. you see the guys feed. january 2017 the coup has started. impeachment is next. and you realize here we go again, folks. it's just another set up. and so that's what we've been dealing with. kimberly, you alluded to all the successes. notice how that's never actually spoken about? all-time low unemployment.

professor reich, your case about mitch mcconnell and who is worse? donald trump or mitch mcconnell?k it's a toss up. it's very close. donald trump is worse. and you already indicated donald trump would not be nearly as bad if there were not an enabler, the enabler in chief, someone right there allowing him to do whatever he wants to do, putting up no fuss at all, acting as if there's not a separate branch of government called the congress, and that is mitch mcconnell. and mitch mcconnell, it's not just that mitch mcconnell as nancy pelosi has said today has made a graveyard of bipartisan legislation coming from the house, but also mitch mcconnell has given donald trump everything that donald trump wants. and what donald trump is going to want with regard to this senate trial, well, it's probably going to be a showcase for donald trump. >> and the rules about these trials are established for each trial, which is needless to say unusual. and mitch mcconnell's been there when perfectly reasonable rules have been used indeed for example the clinton impeachment trial. those rules were ag

so, i think that this kind of combination, this legal combination is reminiscent of the third reich laws on the prime minister scott morrison is cutting his holiday short and returning to australia after the death of two volunteer firefighters. he's released a statement — of the situation is worsening, not just the temperatures of the fire services are struggling to contain these fires, it is the two find volunteer firefighters have died tonight near buxton, in south western sydney. hello, with and into the rain, it cannot come soon enough, there's drier weather and the forecast but it's going to arrive last but it's wettest across southern parts of the uk but it looks like all of us, next week will get a spell of drier weather though it will feel a bit colder compared to how it is out there at the moment. still the pressure and control, a look at the weekend. these were the systems just focus to the southernmost areas, courses where it is been wettest where there are flood warnings in that rain is not going to help and elsewhere it is going to try to be drierfor elsewhere it is going to

yes if this exit poll proves reich's then it's historic it's even a landslide $86.00 seat majority in the parliament standing behind me that is colossal and it will also show that simple messaging works get bricks it done my mantra how many times have we heard it internationally and all the criticism that boris johnson has received in his campaign some of his gaffes some of his actions and his accusers saying that he lies that he's not to be trusted yet we have this massive push towards him and if it works out to be true let me bring you up to date with developments away from the polling right now but this an e-mail that boris johnson has put to his supporters and his workers i hope you enjoy a celebration tonight he said in the mail you powered this campaign we couldn't have done it without you there has been a remark from a john john mcdonnell the labor's shadow chancellor number 2 to 2 jeremy corbyn he was challenged on a t.v. results program and asked if these results are true then where does jeremy corbyn stand he said we'll see the results in the morning and then decisions will

in fact one of the historian books called the men of sudsy keep the foot soldiers of the third reich. that is what they did. they were often known by the jews as the men wearing black coats and black caps. some jewish survivors called the ukrainians because some of the men are from ukraine that region. but there will others and many many others, the ss really came up with an incredible system because these men will given wages and they were given housing, food, service medals for work that was done well. there will given vacations. they were given all kinds of honor and they received proper burials. so for these men especially men who came from soviet pow camps, serving the enemy seem like a decent option because in soviet pow camps they would likely start or face death of some other kind of horrible death. and so this camp was set up in the first deployment was to the city of woodland which you can see on the map, lublin was a historical cultural and religious center for thousands of poland jewish. more than 40000 jews lived in poland in 1930 united. and they held leadership position

. >> to look at the numbers on this proposed change to food stamp benefits, robert reich posted a state-by-stateount of who would lose the most opportunity to eat. 400,000 texans. 328,000 floridians. 225,000 in pennsylvania. 176,000 in washington state. 165,000 in michigan. 118,000 in wisconsin. 97,000 in georgia. it goes on and on and on. as somebody who was a mayor of a big city and had to deal with the needs of american citizens, what do you make of this rule change to basically make people go hungry? >> it's stupid. it's cruel. it's exactly the wrong direction. we need to be providing more opportunity for people to get the food they need. there's one estimate out there, one analysis that says that this could cause more than 2 million more people to be food insecure, these changes the trump administration is proposing. we also see out there a growing number of homeless individuals in cities big and in small towns. so this is exactly the wrong direction that our country should be going in. a couple days ago, i released a plan to end hunger in america to make investments in our snap program, in
