south. it was more of, i guess, the vietnam-era conflict that existed. the fact of the matter is, there were a lot of different underpinnings that went on with the war. and a lot of the history is not well known about what happened after the war. we didn't live it. we tend to revisit and revise history to suit our own perspectives. i know i do. i tend to look at my post man a little favorable like today than may become senator, when we were serving in the house together. i'm so glad you are here -- that was the other point i made when the resolution was discussed that was mentioned in a news account as the issue began to be discussed i think the weekend before last now, and it was mentioned that the first time it had been dealt with in the statehouse was in 1983 and it was an amendment you introduced. and i rose and hold the senate know, it was much earlier than that. it was in 1979, it may have been earlier than that, that i was first in the house, and i recall and observed that day that amendments were put up during the budget debate and you were the o

vietnam, struggling to increase. in fact there are more tigers in captivity across china and south east asia many in tiger farms. and couldn't tigers in captivity be seen as a form of conservation? >> unfortunately, these tigers do not serve conservation purpose. they can never be returned to the wild. they are being farmed as an agribusiness, a commodity, and when they die or are slaughtered their body parts enter the trade. their skins are used as luxury home decor, and bones turned into wine. this is nothing to do with conservation it's about profit. >> that is pretty grim. why do you think that the fate of the tiger seems to have gone pretty much not unnoticed as such but hasn't had the attention that the elephant has had. >> yes, the african elephant and rhino are facing a crisis and that is featuring highly on the international agenda. what the agency and colleagues around the world are saying don't forget about the tiger. that's why we are asking # where are the tigers. there are signs that tigers are encouragingly populations are stabilizing and increasing in certain countries, they need to do a lot more

vietnam. let's go to katie in south carolina. good morning.ents but are we going to get an apology from him, do you think? >> i don't expect to hear an "i'm sorry" from donald trump, and i don't expect to hear them now. he did sort of backstep going so far as to say he had respect for john mccain, and if it was a misunderstanding, he takes it back, but he doesn't think there was a misunderstanding. he said he called him a war hero after he called him not a war hero. i do think we're going to hear more about this today at this rally. i do expect him to blame the media for what he's going to call distorting his words. i think he's also going to tout those numbers you just mentioned, that national poll that has him in the lead. again, as we said though it was done thursday through sunday and mostly before these comments. there was a scene made on the last day in response to donald trump. he is still leading in the polls right now, and we do expect to hear him talk a lot about that and that's why he says his message is resonating despite all the n

going to require us to modernize our alliances, and our relationship with south korea and japan and the philippines and vietnam and india and australia have all been adjusted in recent months, and we have engagement in the pacific to assert our influence and provide a stabilizing presence. the most important thing it does is provide a security infrastructure in which we can advance our national interests and that's what has existed for the past seven years, and it's designed to modernize that and make sure it's in our place, so we can protect our interest in the past 70 years we can do that in the future as well. >> i just got information on the cuts that will happen as a result of the budget necessities and i am glad to know that the general did say the cuts were with regard to the importance of rebalance and therefore we want to make sure, and this is something that i know that senator sullivan shares with me, the rebalance to the asia pacific remains a very strong commitment on our part. you mentioned that russia is the greatest threat to our national security. where would isil, china and north korea fall w
