has brushed off such remarks as rubbish that it's why do you call his claims comparing russia with sparta anti russian i think they're not directed at russia but against the british education system it's an attack on its image of russia definitely wasn't harmed by this we just laughed and that's. what johnson earlier claimed british politicians who appeared on this channel are a scandal he seemed to be unaware his own father just appeared here to cover suggested that the only way for britain's top diplomat to avoid being filmed bayati was an invisibility hat. it is. sure to direct. your visit. to. russia today. and more got. on your. bike. with a bigger shock. with less than six months to go until the start of the football world cup here in russia one astronauts come up with a pretty special way of celebrating the events other kind of yank is taking shots from space of past and future world cup host cities including rio milan and his own hometown somalia is also working with some r.'s local government to create a special calendar called planet football which will feature the stunning nint

at the minute in this there's a it's in the kitchen see ceased in them a bang up the michelle sparta a complicit in the. closeness to that yes to the concept called the. silly to a species which. let the person just look at it could see some little point there was a game on the way to meet that kind of a sleep before he should just go right for the ranks were killed then once he was he should leave the place until it was in my thanks and even if he didn't have faith that he is a god who took little boy. and nasa and there. is only one nasa. with a difficult inflated good system with luck she is going to be extolling jacob wetterling still down plus the look that could send us a visit well calling yourself a clam is a sign of the likely those that have vision i suppose though if they'd still play it pushed out in the woods and by someone they said thank you for a second furnace and there was a guy who was so so successful in it and yet like to play school chan without the money they do they're just ask for what i did some research with things for say if you're paying you for standing

so founder of history as we know it, the conflict between athens and sparta. he said, quote, it was the rise of athens and the fear that this instilled in sparta that made the war inevitable. so he identified a dynamic in which a rising power feels, bigger, stronger, thinks, well, deserve more weight, arrangements that were set before i was bigger and stronger, are confining, unfair. the ruling power thinks this upstart is trying to upset the situation that's actually provided the environment in which it's able to vote. >> many authors have appeared on book tv, you can watch them on our website, booktv.org. >> white house historian, you have two new books, blare house and white house of stone. what is the blare house? >> well, the blare house is the president's guest house since 1942. before that it was an old family home and still furnished with the family's possessions but it's been renovated in the 80's and 90's into first-class hotel even though it seems like a house but has distinguished history. all sorts of things happened, first andrew jackson was a fr

curious comments in his typical manner for starters he has drawn some comparisons between russia and sparta i was reading few city's history of the political war it was obvious to me that athens and its democracy its open this its culture and civilization was the end of united states and the wished russia for me was closed no militaristic and democratic like sponsor well boris johnson has also said that russia has not been so hostile to the u.k. or western interests since the end of the cold war and quote now was speaking to the sunday times on the oh so popular issue of russian meddling he said again that he see no evidence of russian influence when it comes to the bracks it referendum if you remember in the past he's even used the words not a sausage of evidence but he has said that there is some evidence that there has been russian trolling on facebook this might be in reference to some of the numbers released by facebook that have said that only two hundred people in britain had seen any adverts which cost just over seventy p. these numbers are certainly quite curious given all endless

side of sparta who follows mr hardy now and the other party will the other section will join the ots and the. third one will maybe follow his son who is now in abu dhabi and there are some sort of negotiation between different leaders of this party to. try to knighted the party away from the. president of the woman's or her the and away from the truth is we have the south and movement we have. so i think we and we have the hope is that in a way they can negotiate a settlement in the future they can buy the product the problem is the solution is not only in their hands it's in the regional hands and it's also in the international third so to speak in all of the you not me is there is no there is no willingness to implement the resolutions of the knighted united nation ok speaking of those resolutions speaking of the regional and international influence as you were talking about a conflict that is claiming the lives of thousands of people destroying entire neighborhoods in in the country forcing millions of people out of their villages why is it taking the international community so lo

and these chronicles back when thucydides wrote about the peloponnesian war. you had sparta up here,ou had athens rising, can't accommodate each other and they clash. big war. u.s. is here. china is rising. inevitably, will continue to rise. we've gotta get that relationship right. and right now, the crisis that is looming, of course, is where the country that to which china has an umbilical cord, and that is north korea, with its missile and nuclear program. now, what about kim jong-un? nobody in the american government has ever met him. we really don't know much about him. what do you think he is trying to do? gen. petraeus: well, he's trying to build himself, as quickly as he can, a deterrent that will enable him to stay in power and to continue the legacy passed on to him from his father and his grandfather. the challenge for this is that this is the crisis to prevent a madman, in many people's eyes, from getting a nuclear capability that can actually reach the united states. so this is a very real threat, and it's one that confronts president trump uniquely. i don't think any pr

you talk about a place he had on long island, he had a chair in a, and they call it sparta. >> guest:is funny, people see this as an inconsistency but he did go to goldman sachs and made himself a multimillionaire. part of that was growing up in a middle-class family. i asked him about that and he said the money give me the freedom to do the things they wanted. not someone who is terribly concerned about material possessions. not only is he all about money that he might be a white supremacist, that is not going back to college, it seems like he gave a lot of foreshadowing. he goes out when nobody was heaven women as a co- runner and the election, yet they are running mates i may be a little foreshadowing for his embrace of sarah palin. he could see such greatness. >> he wanted her to be president. heat she would be the one to stick to her guns. unlike you, so many people come saying one thing and maybe believing in them forget about it. once they're here they get caught up in special-interest. but what you're saying, in terms of people who talk to them personally, there is nobody i co

he talked about a place yet on long island that he had a chair in a calm and he called it sparta. >> guest: it's funny. people see this as an inconsistency. he did go to goldman sachs and made himself a multimillionaire. part of that was growing up where he did in a middle-class family. and i asked him about that he said what the money did more than anything was give me freedom. he gave me freedom to do the things i wanted. he also wanted to make money and be competitive. but if you look at how he lives, his several houses, but all he does is going to put books on them. if you look at him, he doesn't trust like a wealthy person. if you visit him i interviewed him for about ten hours. it is not a lavish place. this is not some and terribly concerned about material possessions. he did make a lot of money and that freed him to do what he wants. >> host: another irony, there's many that say not only is he all about money, but he might be a white supremacists. when he dig into his life, that is not it. it seems like you give us a lot of foreshadowing in his college years for things to com

army strong, arctic tough, sparta lives. mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that my following remarks appear in a separate record -- separate place in the "congressional record." the presiding officer: without objection. mr. sullivan: mr. president, i rise to commend this body and my colleagues, every single senator voted unanimous consent to move forward on the national defense authorization act, which was signed into law just this week by president trump. and particularly -- in particular, i want to thank the chairman of the armed services committee, john mccain, who did so much to shepherd this important piece of legislation through this body and to the president's desk, and i want to thank senator mccain for all his service and sacrifice for america for decades, decades. the ndaa, as we all know, is an important clinton piece of legislation boosting our national security, rebuilding our military readiness, and protecting men and women, the men and women in uniform who serve our nation. it's been a piece of legislation th

bayliss who said after the jonny bairstow incident that he was furious that england players need to be spartasaid players would have to be stupid to do something else after what has happened so far. well something else have happened. quite how england deal with this, they originally had this midnight curfew, they lifted it for the first night after lifting it, this happen so where do they go from here? it, this happen so where do they go from here ? yet it, this happen so where do they go from here? yet more turmoil for an england team who lets not forget, our2—0 england team who lets not forget, our 2—0 down england team who lets not forget, our2—0 down in england team who lets not forget, our 2—0 down in this ashes series and going into an match that they need to windy if they want to keep their hopes alive. this is about turning round form. on the pitch, opener keatonjennings, has made a case for picking him next week, by scoring 80, and so too has tom curran , not out 73 and he's helped edge england into a good position in this two day match, batting first they are 313—8. all eyes on manc

oak park is like sparta.as upon in that. >> quentin carthen originally arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and methamphetamine with intent to sell. as he waited in a group holding cell to be processed he was charged with another crime. it came as a result of wanting to use the pay phone. >> i said, it look like you having a little trouble. kept dialing. his fifth time dialing. look like you have a little trouble, i'm after you whenever you're done. instead of saying, all right, i ain't have nothing trouble. you better be cool, know what i'm saying, i can get it like that again, you better be cool, i ain't tripping on you be cool, you ain't going to do nothing to me, you don't know who i am, don't get at me like that again. he kept talking. i stood up.

focus in recent years on uae's ability to project power militarily, we afford a lot about the little sparta, the uae being fighting a alongay you s -- fighting side the u.s.. and fighting in the saudi coalition in yemen, what we heard, at least what i heard more and our meetings with uae officials related to soft power. one of the overarching themes was the fight of counter extremism and the need to emphasize development and governance and other countries and the region. washat i came away with actually what i felt was a rather cohesive view from the admiralty perspective of the region -- from the admiralty -- mirate.e e primary issues. on around, it was no surprise iran, it was no surprise that yemen featured very central given the threat to the cooties. houthis.hreat to the verynterlocutors were easily making comparison between yemen and has a lot in lumina. hezbollah.yemen and talking about how the israeli withdrawal left a vacuum filled ladingn and i struck the that their presence in yemen dax and extract relating -- extrapolating that their presence in yemen -- they had our weariness o

the focus in recent years on the uae's ability to project power militarily we have heard about the sparta, the uae fighting alongside the u.s. and afghanistan being a partner in coalition. isil what we heard in our meetings with officials related to soft power. one of the overarching themes was the fight to counter extremism. and also the need to emphasize development and governance in other countries in the region. what i came away with was what i of thes a cohesive view region and of the regional strategy. how it was laid out was citing two threats they faced. islamic terms of extremism. i wanted to talk about those separately. on iran, it was no surprise that yemen figured central in our conversations given that the threat posed by iranian support --the we discussed iranian proxies in the region and the proliferation of missiles. our interlocutors were made -- evenons between the to the extent that they cited lessons learned from israeli --eriences talking about extrapolating that their presence in yemen was forestalling similar consequences, the power vacuum was allowed to persist. th

only thing and i think the national security strategy will recognize athens was more prosperous, spartaas tougher, so when you look at we're going to listen to what the president says and we will analyze the unclassified document to be released tomorrow morning but most importantly, we'll see what's actually done. now, so far, we know is that the new national security strategy brought in ahead of time by the way has four main components. homeland security, you know, security of the united states of america economic prosperity, a strong military, and the last one, expanding american influence abroad . that's one area where we need to make up lost ground because although the trump administration has done a number of strong things from un leashing our military against isis, stronger north korea, we have unquestionably lost ground with our allies and clients around the world this year and we have to make up for it. stuart: now part of the not included in the present assessment of risks to our national security, not included is climate change. now, we've spoken about this in the past, ralph.
