after losing so much ground in the fight state by state. what now. we talk with a lower whose job it is to make the cause against same-sex marriage. it's "inside story". >>>tonight on "inside story", we are look at the battle over same-sex marriage, at the outset in the 1990s, those that wanted to keep marriage as between one man and one woman won - over and over again. in recent years the tide turned and decisively so. where does it leave those that fought same-sex marriage. robert is with a legal group founded to protect religious freedom. welcome to "inside story". >> thank you for having me. >>> the battlefield changed shape. what is the fight now. what is a plausible set of victories now that same-sex marriage is legal in so many states of the union? >> we don't know what the supreme court will do. there's no shortage of commentators that predicted the supreme court will impose same-sex marriage in all 50 states, doesn't mean it would be legitimate. the supreme court's only power is in the legitimacy, it was once recognised and that depends on m

states into cuba. it hasn't been announced as a big breakthrough in this country. people are wondering what will come in on the ferries. does that mean the united states will send in thousands without permission. lots of regulations. they are not sure how they'll manage all this. >> the cubans wanted to get off the state sponsor's terror list be allowed back into latin american meetings, they got those things. how come there's not a more developing trust that the united states is working out of goodwill. >> it's history, it's a long history going back to the spanish american war, and the fact that the guantanamo navel base is occupied by the united states. cuba sees that as an injury a wound in its heart. that's how they describe it. this is a treaty signed more than 100 years ago. and it doesn't allow or almost 100 years ago. it doesn't allow the kooubons to tell the united states to leave. it has to be by mutual accord. that and other reasons the political differences that exist between the united st

the size of the state. if you are having an argument about whether small states deserve to be overrepresented just because they are small, madison's argument would be small states do not represent -- deserve representation per se because size is not correlated with their interests. you are just going to give them in a to benefit -- give them an extra benefit. the exception is when you are operating on laws where you do not know what your social position will be later. if you are voting on rules for voting and you know what your interests star, of course -- what your interests are, of course, you have the incentive. luther martin was moot. size does not affect our opinions. suppose you are a big second amendment guy. someone taking a gun into walmart so she could be killed by a two-year-old. let's look at the strong second amendment person. you really believe in hunter's rights. does it matter if you live in what is called the venison belt, working-class guys who like to go out with their rifles on the weeke

badly won or corrupt states rose from the end of colonialism and the state never delivered. much of the modest resources of a country ending up in too few hands and a state valued with keeping up order. too many came to adulthood dissatisfied. hardly able to support a family, unable to see a way their circumstances would improve. if the map is redrawn, the raw material, the recruits that kill on demand will be easy enough to define if they remain places to don't commute with the common people.

ali velshi saw a troubled state of greece's real estate mark. he talked to the president, the association of athens real estate ate and a wealthy neighbourhood in a home that's been on the market for several years. >> this is a beautiful house. it needs repair but why is this house vacant for so long? >> translation: it's a very large house. in a villa, in a high end neighbourhood. it's 900 scare meter on a loft that is 1500 square meters. this is a neighbourhood where a crisis has been hurt the most. the house was built 15 years ago, and has been vacant for five years. it has not been maintained. >> reporter: how much was the house worth before the crisis how much would it sell today? >> 6 million, now 2 or 2.5. >> reporter: so 2. million for a house that is 6 million, sounds like a good deal. why has no one bout the house >> translation: greeks can't afford the money. if they good we cannot afford how much tax the government will pay. they haven't announced the new prices, there's state tax, and that's the burden for most. what was the situati

it doesn't make sense to do it on a state by state basis. it must be done as a national plan. >> let me ask you another question that you get sometimes in this debate is montana cattle rancher paying my gas tax in montana, yet some of my taxes are going to help the banker in new york get on the subway and get to his job. why is that fair? >> that montana farmer gets a lot of subsidies back into that state a lot of different ways. in fact, some states like texas get more subsidies than anybody else, as well as louisiana and mississippi. it's give and take. you have a national system. you're going to create a transportation network that's going to benefit everybody. the products that montana cattle rancher gets could be cheaper if they're brought there by a good rail system that delivers feed and delivers different things that he or she may need. so they're going to benefit in the end by having an efficient system and having the country becoming competitive. they can also get their products to market or export those products a whole lot easier

as the state that we grew up in.election. we won the battle. shortly after we took off in january of 2011, you may have heard, but we did big things. [ laughter ] at one point, we had more than 100,000 protester rs in erters in and around the capital. we had death threats against me my family, my kids targeted on facebook, my parents got grief. throughout it all, all that did, their intent there was to intimidate us. that's what they do. they try to intimidate the federal, at the state, and even at the local level. instead, we knew it reminded us to refocus on why we got elected in the first place to think more about the next generation than just about the next election. the great thing was it worked. it worked. [ applause ] today, the state i'm proud to lead once in january 2010 had a rate of 9.2 % before i took office in december of that year, it was last month, moved town to 4.6% up employment. [ cheers and applause ] a state that when we took office was ranked, you know, every year there's rankings of the best an

if you let the state do it, the state can make an exception. the state can say, yest two men can marry, but ministers will still be authorized to conduct marriage is on behalf of the state. you cannot do that once it is a constitutional prescription. ms. bonauto: if one thing is for them and i believe it is firm, under the first amendment that a clergyman does not have to officiate a marriage that he or she does not want to officiate. justice scalia: he will be required to officiate but he will not be given the state's power unless he agrees to use the state's power in accordance with the constitution. it seems to me that you have to make that exception. you cannot appoint people that will then go ahead and violate the constitution. ms. bonauto: i think we are talking about a government and individual, a clerk that is a different matter that they will have to follow through unless again, the state decides and makes an exception. in connecticut, after the court permitted marriage they passed a law to deal with these sorts of issues. justice scal

tennessee is the first state to ratify the 14th amendment. and in so doing that, tennessee actually is able to escape from implications of something that happened in march of 1867 called the first reconstruction act. so the first reconstruction act is the piece of legislation that effectively establishes military rule for the defeated con fed acy. so of the 11 states tennessee is the one that is not confederacy. so of the 11 states, tennessee is the one that is not included. the second thing is the story plays out faster here because brownlow and republican majority actually is brought back for purposes by about 1869. so certainly by 1870 you have a conservative majority that's regained control of the state and any kind of potential for dramatic change in race relations, the window for that probably closed as early as 1870. one of the things that we move quickly though in tennessee is african-american voting. why would brownlow -- his writing reveals he's a pretty racist guy. very harsh feelings about african-americans before the civil war. s

and leagues within the united states. if you're one of those leagues in in the united states you might be thinking we got to get our books in order. >> luke russert, thank you for that reporting. here with us now in new york matthew garhan. let's pick up on the point luke makes. reading parts of the indictment today i was struck by the fact this isn't allegations of a few people on the side doing bad things. it reads like this was a part and parcel of how this organization functioned over the long term, and that anywhere that money was coming in people were systematically skimming taking or demanding bribes for that revenue. >> yeah. they effectively called it a criminal enterprise compared it to the mafia. this is a large, still fairly amateurish organization which was set up to run soccer when it was an amateur game before huge amounts of money came pouring into it. over the years the amounts of money coming into football -- into soccer -- have risen pretty dramatically. >> matthew, you can call it football. >> it is a

my least favorite state. the small islands, north of jamaica, north of haiti, so close, so small, has had inordinate influence on the united states because of what has happened on that island has not followed the wishes of america and american society. this island is an important part of our story. from the 1860's, this island is going through convulsions. it is an incredibly diverse and complex place. it is part of the spanish empire, part of the spanish empire but it has a mixed population. you have many african descendents, afro cubans, dark skinned afro cubans who were former slaves or were slaves brought to the island. it is an area where slaves were brought, not just in north america but to brazil. they still have slavery until 1888. it was a transit point. there are a lot of descendents of slaves, many who are themselves slaves until recently. you have those of spanish dissent and were brought over as part of the spanish empire. you have other caribbean and central american people. you have a mixed pop

within the state. it's precisely that circumstance where the laws diverge that the issue arises. and the three states that have this issue, tennessee, ohio, and kentucky, are, between them, able to identify only 5 instances in which they did not recognize a marriage that was valid outside the state, even though it could not have been celebrated inside. and those instances are incest which we think the state would have sufficiently important justification not to recognize miscegenation laws, not a precedent on which i think the court would want to rely in this instance, or other interests that i think probably would not survive today, such as the rule against allowing a divorced person to remarry. so they're and more importantly, the most recent of those cases is from 1970. so the rule that the states cite about their ability to disregard, to effectively dissolve marriages that already exist, around which people have already begun to build their lives, is less applied than the federal government's own a

he wanted to see the state of sonora in the united states. he had very expensive designs on what the united states should take from mexico that were much more than he told him to negotiate for. he recalled him and told him to come home. he refused to come home. he along with scott was a good friend by that point decided making a peace treaty with mexico was the most important thing he could do. he said he wanted to make a treaty that was not exacting to mexico. he wanted to save the mexican people from a continuation of the war and dismemberment of the country. he wrote the president and said i will not come home. he made the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo despite the fact he wrote to his wife that i will probably never work in washington again, my career is over. in fact, his career was over. polk was so angry at him that he withheld his pay when he returned to the united states. his family became incredibly poverty-stricken. it was not until after the civil war when ulysses grant was president that he got another position near the end of his l

i have never been more proud to say i was born and raised in the state -- the stateis state, a g state led the fight for marriage equality in maryland, and he will do the same for every state and every couple in this great nation. thank you. [applause] rosa: hello, everyone. my name is rosa. i remember being bright eyed and brave, a young determined scientists, ready for the challenge ahead at the arrested maryland, college park. who knew that the biggest challenge would not be in the chemistry classroom or in the long nights spent at the library. instead, i spent in my sophomore year the longest three weeks in my life waiting to hear the day that my father would be relieved from holy cross hospital. in a moment, one of the most passionate and motivating people in my collegiate aspirations lost the battle to pancreatic cancer. this did leave just a physical or emotional wound, this left a financial scarred. first, the loss of my father and now the potential loss of my scholastic future. i honestly didn't know what i was going to do and how i was going to afford to stay in school. they

on state supreme courts. the 28 states in red, take a close look at these, these appoint judges to initial terms. after that they are set for life or face uncontested elections where voters can keep or reject them. they are not the states where i'm worried about money polluting judicial selections. i'm concerned about orange states, where judges are listed on ballots without party affiliation. then there are the nine states in gray. they have partisan elections where judges run under primary or general elections. this is where the debate for honey and integrity matters. here is why? because of these nine states spending on state supreme court elections has skyrocketed. going from $83 million in the period from 1990 to 1999, $207 million in the period 2000 to 2009. alabama is one state moving the needle. it is where one of the biggest nastiest judicial elections took place, back in 2006. sue bell cob won that seat that year. she became the chief justice, since retiring in 2011 she is telling a story not everyo

of other states. i want to make sure with their to us and folks in the mountain states. with that in mind let's have a good hearing. >> i would like to tell the audience and the witnesses that were scheduled to have a boat somewhere between 10 and 15 and 1030 time it. my plan would try to get to the opening statements editor and quickly and let us go vote, make that one boat and come back to the question portion. i reserve the right to change my mind. i might just to we will rotate in and out. that might be a better way but at that point i want to put you on alert at this time for but like to recognize that chairman of the full committee mr. inhofe from oklahoma for the purposes of making some comments. >> i thought that was just my wife that made that statement changing her mind. i appreciate it very much, and let me come we have some people here today from oklahoma that came up here comes the real electric cooperative concern. we get this question all the time, wait a minute if we are reliant upon f

is it the grand jury is convened an then the charges come much different than most states. >> every state has their own process. in the state of maryland it's a two-step two-step. by the prosecutor which we saw may 1st. once those charges are put forward, a grand jury automatically convenes and the grand jury produces the indictments against the officers and over the course of the process, sometimes as prosecutor mosby just said the charges can actually change somewhat. so we had a set of charges and what we need to now look at is the charges we put forward on may 1st to see if there's any differences but we now see the grand jury largely returned indictments that pretty much mirror what the officers were charged with by the prosecutor including the most serious charge which is against officer goodson, the driver of the van, which is second degree depraved heart murder that's the most serious charge. second against brian rice, the head of the fight patrol unit in yellow on the screen. the person the supervisor of the unit has the second most serious charges, involuntary manslaughter and s

not just for my state or your states but for all of our states. for those of us from states already being impacted by climate change the epa's clean power plan to regulate our nation's larger source of carbon pollution is not just important but it's essential. many states, such as maryland, my home state of delaware, have already taken action to reduce local power plan emissions and we need all states to do their fair share to protect the air we breathe and stem the tide of climate change. in order for these standards to be effective the epa must ensure that all 50 states are capable of complying with these standards. today, the epa has conducted an unprecedented level of outreaches to utilities and businesses in order to craft a comprehensive plan that works for each state. under the clean power man, states can create their own plan for targeting -- for meeting their targets in a number of ways, including by increasing renewable energy, such as wind and solar and increasing the efficiency of their electrical grid. unfortunately, since the day tha

nor shall any state, and that means the state government or officials, not private citizens. it did not give congress the authority to create the code of municipal law for the regulation of private rights. in his majority opinion, justice bradley added this rhetorical flourish, which looks particularly unfortunate in hindsight, given what had subsequently occurred in the south. he says, when a man has emerged from slavery and by the age of legislation has shaken off the inseparable incompetence of that state, there must be some stage in the progress of his elevation when he takes the rank of a mere citizen, and ceases to be the special favorite of the laws. when his rights as a citizen or man are to be protected in the ordinary modes by which other men's rights are protected. in his dissent, john marshall harlan noted that given when it -- what had happened this far in american history, that it is scarcely just to say that the colored race has been the special favorite of the law. for many commentators, the court's decision in the civil rights cases prove that the court was d

the united states facing challenges on three fronts.ee countries iran, north korea and russia, threatening to proliferate nuclear weapons. and to do so without regard to treaties or international convention. iran's supreme leader effectively ending president obama's desperate drive to negotiate a so-called framework agreement to limit the development of nuclear weapons. today adamantly insisted as before will never permit foreign expections of iranian military sides or interviews with scientists under any nuclear agreement with any group of world power, ayatollah khomeini. such inspections are suspicious am a nuclear site, they would never be part of a credible framework. in addition to this north korea today announcing it has developed the ability to miniaturized nuclear weapons. it's a key step towards a nuclear warhead. and russia, now threatening the west with enlarging its nuclear arsenal to build more nuclear weapons adding to what is already the most powerful nuclear arsenal. and what did the obama white house do in response? out

vermont state legislature.what e. >> a pretty full courtroom here at the franklin county courthouse witnessed the senator, by way of his attorney deny any involvement in what police are calling years of sexual assault. >> are you resigning? >> reporter: the republican state senator who represents franklin county and the town of alberg didn't talk to reporters as he walked into court to answer six sex charges. the 63 year old senator, who lives in this home in franklin allegedly forced his female farm workers to engage in sexual acts according to investigators. court paperwork says victims were told they could live in this trailer in exchange for sex. in addition, at least one victim told police the senator offered to take her to a farm where she could have sex with a group of farmhands for more money. >> ick. maybe i'm prejudiced because i live in new england, but when i think of the state that is most likely to raise the bar for horrifying indictment of sitting state lawmaker i don't think of vermont. i don't.

not the united states. the fact that they are creating all of these institutions like the brics bank like the asian infrastructure bank. they're planning to spend over a trillion dollars both on infrastructure and equities to align other countries economically toward the chinese long term. the americans have not had a response to that not an assertive one, and i think that unnerves a lot of american allies in the region who unlike a lot of other countries like britain really want to see a lot more america in their part of the world and they're not getting it. the british election was not about let's talk about european leadership. it wasn't about the world. in asia modi's india, abe's japan, joko's indonesia, they're really quite concerned that the united states is not consistent and is not ultimately committed to them, and i think that's an interesting challenge. >> which is why the united states simply has to, has to pass not just trade promotion authority but the transpacific partnership to show that it

it is easy from move from state to state to evade taxation.nors warn if you raise taxes too much people will leave. generally the federally -- the federal government raises more revenue. state and local governments have an advantage when it comes to spending money. they can tailor programs to local geography level -- local needs. host: i want to ask about two states you use this case studies here it wisconsin, because of some the issues we've seen up there with regard to the unions and public pensions and etc., what is the health of wisconsin? guest: wisconsin is facing some budget challenges because of the tax cut that is made. i have not been keeping up the latest with wisconsin, but you have a number of states that have a $600 million shortfall because of income tax cuts. on the other hand, north carolina says it is exceeding its revenue estimates even of it drastically cut its income taxes. the presumption of a lot of governors is if you cut income taxes you will see gains in growth that offset the revenue losses. in some places we are see

he says two more states are doing it. which ones? which states?chris harris is telling the truth and his company is in the process of making this drug for several american states, which ones? we know about nebraska, although it's moot there now because they don't have a death penalty anymore as of this week but who are those other states? law school at u.c. berkeley says they are in the process of finding out which states chris harris has maybe sold these drugs to. they're filing freedom of information act requests in states all over the country and trying to find out which states besides nebraska are waiting right now for their illegal sodium thiopental shipments from salt lake city, india. we spoke with the fda again today. we asked maybe just the ban applies to nebraska. can any state get around the ban on importing the drug? they told us tonight, again exclusively, they told us no. quote from the fda, no, it is unlawful to import for the purposes of lethal injections and that applies to all states who intend to use it for that purpose. so genu

states covered of slavery first, some of them. states gave blacks the vote first.ates gave women the vote for almost everything in our constitutional tradition states have done first. one point suppose would in a second and them at all. almost every state constitution has a provision about arms in america, today in america. entities state constitution are not just about militias. and i don't own a gun. guns scare me but almost every state constitution there's a right to have a gun in the home for self protection. it's part of our american tradition, even if we didn't have the second amendment because we believe in rights. one way is to count to look at what's said in state constitution to either great student about 27 years ago the road a student note about the enumerator rights and the you can find them in part by looking at state constitutions. that's the student actually. students know. liberals believe in privacy, for example. it's not necessarily numerate it and the federal constitution. even if there were not assessed a second and then i can say they can have

in the united states there are state-wide land line mobile systems. i don't think there is a perfect analogous system similar to what firstnet is today. this is a first in the united states. there are a number of countries about six looking at building similar systems around the world. the united kingdom is furtherirth farth furtheralongfurtherirth along. er we -- and there are number of other countries headed that down that. in june we have the public safety research conference we are holding in san diego and six other countries are coming to share experiences or desire to follow and model after what the united states is doing. the most likely example is canada who set aside the similar spectrum we have so they can be synergistic with the what the u.s. is doing going forward. >> one of the big questions i know when firstnet was before congress has been the world cob coverage. carriers spend $30 million a year for cap-x and many don't reach the smallest parts of the country. how much will it cost to build a network that reaches the most remote areas o

those states. as i understand it, despite the fact that we have varying laws in our state's now, they all have similarities and so rather than thinking about this with states with such different laws that somehow cause great complications, let's think about this in terms of the fact that we want our state attorneys generals to be involved. we want them to be involved in enforcement. i think that's very important. so let us take a look at what i think is the biggest obstacle to getting the best legislation and deal with the preemption question. deal with the preemption question and think about states like california. can you tell us for example, my state, california, what are we doing with the cyber security and is that stronger than what is being proposed here now? >> sure, yes. thank you. that's a good question and good place to start because, you know, california passed the first breach notification law years ago. they have really been a leader in this area. thank you for your work on that. calif

smoke rising above the trees at the wharton state forest. this was first reported around 2:30 this afternoon. as you mentioned, it quickly consumed about 100 acres, and so far, the fire is not contained. the new jersey forest fire service is trying to battle this fire both on the ground and from the air. using helicopters and planes. we've watched a helicopter scooped up water from atison lake and drop it on the fire. now, state police told us troopers from the red lion station were telling folks who live in the area at about two dozen homes to evacuate. although i just spoke with the spokesman from the new jersey department of environmental protection and he told me that the indication that he's gotten is that that evacuation will be rescinded. so that seems to be encouraging that authorities don't believe that the fire is in danger of spreading to any of those homes nearby. luckily, no one has been injured. one challenge, i'm told, though by authorities is the wind. it has been blowing the fire in different directions so that has created a

arab states in the persian gulf.hey're very worried about iran right now. their nuclear program there, if they get a lot of money from the eased up sanctions, they're really worried about that. what do you make of what's going on? >> look it's obviously a show of force by the iranians even if it is a commercial dispute they claim, there's probably commercial disputes all the time. it doesn't mean you send gunboats out and shoot a ship disable it and do that. it's reminiscent of the water wars we had in the '80s, and i think it's important that the united states and its arab allies have a strong presence in the gulf and make it clear we're going to -- this is the purpose of the united states navy it's to protect the legitimate commercial shipping routes of interstate commerce. if there's ever a time for the navy and there are major times for the navy this is especially it. something to keep in mind too, when we talk about sequestering our military the navy being cut. this is very important and it's very important that

a fossil fuel energy producing state, state, the state of west virginia like the state of wyoming is a call state. all of all of our states are particularly hit by this little proposed epa rules aimed squarely at the fossil fuel industry and the folks who work in that industry. i would like to highlight a letter from the governor of my home state of wyoming to epa administrator gina mccarthy on april 28 of this year. i asked that the governor's record be entered into the record. >> thank you. the governor highlights a recent study by the center for energy economics and public policy at the university of wyoming entitled the impact of the coal economy on wyoming published in february of this year. i would ask also that the study be entered into the record. >> without objection. >> thank you. the governor. the governor states about the study that the study determined the single largest threat is the epa clean power rule. in fact, the study says that the 111 d planet regulation is the potential to drastically decrease wyoming coal production. production of coal output under the most fav

it does not make sense to do it on a state-by-state basis. it must be done as a national plan. host: another question you get sometimes is i am a montana cattle rancher paying the gas tax in montana. but some of my taxes help the banker in new york get on the subway. why is that fair? panelist: that montana farmer gets a lot of subsidies. some of the states like texas get more subsidies than anybody else. as well as louisiana and mississippi. it is give-and-take. we have a national system. we are going to create a transportation network that will benefit everybody. the product that montana cattle rancher could beget -- get could be cheaper if a rail system delivers things they may need. they will benefit by having an efficient system and have the country become competitive. they can get their products to market or export products easier when you have an efficient system. not when one in every nine bridges is about to break down. panelist: right now, there are federal taxes for transportation that have not been raised since 1993. gas prices are at their lowest level, cars are mo

in our state. think about this. in the budget i just proposed for fiscal year 2016, which will be adopted at the end of next month, discretionary spending, which means spending on everything in state government other than pensions, health care and debt service, is $2.5 billion les he -- less than it was eight years ago. not $2.5 billion less on the projection, not like they do it in washington. and then call it a cut. this is actually less spending $2.5 billion in less spending at the state level. how do you do that? well, we have 8,500 fewer employees today than the day i became governor and we did it without any layoffs. all through attrition and being able to then make government become more efficient and more effective. you want to reduce spending, the first place you have to start is reducing the payroll, the size of government. we put in $2.3 billion in business tax cuts and tax incentives. that has helped to spur growth in our state and how folks who were already there not only want to stay, but want to grow

as the president of the united states, if i decide to run, i trust the states. i trust the governs and their legislatures and their people to come up with the best ways. the current resident of the white house doesn't trust the states. josh: thank you very much. mary lou for the question. let's go on to dan bergeron. >> i have two siblings that have called the dallas area home for several years. both i and my son who is a freshman in college, we both have student debt. so given that between and the government is on track to profit off student loans, so my question to you is, would you offer a plan that would help my family and several other families across the country with student debt? rick perry: i think the student debt story is one of the really powerful stories that needs to be told, and people need to really understand this. what are we getting from a college education today? i happen to be one of the first people, if not the first people, that came up with a degree plan. i'm talking about a total degree in the state of texas. now, they laughed at me, orig

now, well in the united states -- while in the united states he , was introduced by senator depew of new york to none other than president mckinley. so my talk this morning has been mislabeled. it really is from mckinley to roosevelt. churchill wrote back to his mother that he was very impressed by president mckinley. of course president mckinley was a veteran of the american civil war, fought at the battle of antietam. churchill knew that and had a great deal of respect for president mckinley. while in the united states he , also met theodore roosevelt. now roosevelt, as you are going to see, did not form a very good impression of winston churchill. they went to a dinner party together and this is what the odore roosevelt had to say about the experience. he found churchill to be a rude young man. roosevelt wrote to his son, that he hates it when a man of light -- when someone obliges him to behave like a swine to prevent that other person from behaving like a swine. why was he angry at churchill? i had to ask him to say goodbye to his hostess. he was going to go away from the dinner

he is the counsellor to the state department. most recently served as american ambassador to brazil. among his duties, he's also served as senior director for the western hem is sphere at the national security council. we thank you both for being here. you can keep your comments as fairly brief as you wish and we accept your written testimony into the record. thank you. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman and ranking member for the opportunity to testify on u.s. cuba policy today and your interest in the hemisphere more broadly. let me underscore this unique moment in the america's for the united states. it's remarkable to see how u.s. relations with countries of the hemisphere are increasingly characterized by mature partnerships and shared values and interests. the partnerships we have with canada, brazil, chile, colombia and so many others is extraordinary. i am especially i had proud of the renewed commitment to working with central america and our $1 billion 2015 request that we believe will strengthen prosperity and good gov

this case it's buckled into the western part of the united states. that pumps the ridge over the north eastern part of the united states. old guys like me, ridge over troubled waters. whenever the big high builds in the northeast, you look south of it for possible tropical development and because the water is still warm in the western atlantic from the end of the cycle we're end, we're going to see that. remember it will balance itself out. a week from now or so, the cold in the west will be spreading east and knock down the warmth and it will all go back and have to start other again. the biggest thing this year is this tornado outbreak if it comes over the next several days will stick out like a sore thumb because of the lack activity so far. we're less than 25% of normal. only several of maybe 15 20 tornados above the record low for the date. it's been a quiet season. you would expect some response like this in the west. >> all right. thank you. we no doubt will probably be burning to you and our own weather people. we're just keeping an eye on th

was it the united states or britain?ch country was going to be the leading naval power of the world? this is part of the history of international relations of the period between the two world wars that is not well known today. i want to highlight this because this is one of the major irritant -- irritants points of contention between the united states and britain between the two world wars. what size should each country's fleet be relative to the other? should britain remained the dominant naval power? or should the united states be on par -- at least equal with that of britain? so, a naval rivalry emerges between britain and the united states after the first world war. churchill, after the first world war, the british government holds an election and this is churchill going back to his seat, his parliamentary seat in the scottish industrial fishing city of dundee up in the north, and here he is delivering a speech at the end of november 1918. the war was over on the western front for a couple weeks. there you see church

amy: the youngest states attorney in any major city in the united states. we will play excerpts of her announcement and go to the streets of baltimore for reaction. then from protests over police violence in baltimore to mexico where demonstrations are the seven month anniversary of the disappearances of 43 students in the mexican state of guerrero. >> we feel our children are alive because it was police that took them. and they didn't take any more because no more fit in the police car. and the public feels our pain as parents. we will speak with parents of the disappeared students and with intercept reporter ryan devereaux about his explosive new investigation called "ghosts of iguala." >> our investigation, based on dozens of interviews of students that survived the attack that night reveals how the federal authorities in mexico sought to connect crimes that happened that night when the evidence indicates a broader circle of responsibility and raises questions about the army's role that day. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, d

i voted for that and defend it in our state. i had a family member on my wife's side one of our great cousins that we love and we went there even though we have a belief of what legally constitutes marriage. we were there because we love her. we love her and we love the whole family. so of course we're going to be there. in terms of this issue, it's one of those where it's interesting. going forward, the next president is going to have very limited impact on this. if the courts rule in the coming days, they're going to rule one of two ways. they're going to say either that marriage amongst -- marriage is defined as something the state should be doing, or they're going to say that marriage amongst same-sex couples is legal. the only other alternative to that is a constitutional amendment, which is something that doesn't go through the legislative process. it's something the states and congress has to act on. it's really not going to be an issue in the next presidential election. i think even if people disagree with me even if som

list of state sponsors of terrorism. the decision to remove them from the list is a key step forward to restore diplomatic ties between the two countries, which has been suspended for 54 years. let's get more now from patty culhane in washington, d.c. it's a major step forward. >> it is. especially for the cubans who said that this had to happen because it was somewhat symbolic, but to be labeled a state sponsor of terrorism that makes companies not want to do business with you. there's severe limitations on what u.s. companies can do in cuba. the sanctions associated with the state sponsored terrorism is listed, there's a host of other sanctions congress put in place. we have an interesting die nam in this case. the reason is happens today is because the president wanted this to happen but he couldn't do it alone. he had to give congress 45 days to scuttle the deal. we din see a big push despite being serious heated criticism of the president in congress. that's partly because the very powerful business lobby wants to s

libya is a failed state and it is a disaster. iraq is a failed state. everything they've talked about they been wrong about for 20 years. amy: the death toll from a heat wave in india has topped 1400. scorching heat expected to continue in the hardest hit southern state of andhra pradesh. the death toll has been 1000 alone in that state. the justice department has unveiled a sweeping corruption indictment against 14 soccer officials and marketing executives accused of exchanging at least $150 million in bribes and "corrupting the business of worldwide soccer." among those arrested in connection with the probe is jack warner, former vice president of soccer's governing body, fifa, who is accused of taking a $10 million bribe to cast his ballot for south africa to host the 2010 world cup. u.s. attorney general loretta lynch said the corruption dates back to at least 1991, when soccer officials, including the then-presidents of two regional soccer confederations under fifa, solicited bribes from sports marketers for commercial rights to their soccer tourna

state. if you were opposed to slavery you want to make sure that no new opportunities were opened up. this movement into the territory that was created by congress in 1854 becomes the headline for the next decade. it becomes all out war. first, missouri moves into kansas to set up institutions through the process of voting and creating a kansas territory legislature that would have created laws that would favor and support slavery. once that happened, it becomes a competition and people who want to make sure that kansas does not become a slave state start pouring in as well. we are sitting in a house here in topeka that was built by one of those people who came to kansas in 1855, the first part of 1855 with the intent that he was going to stop the spread of slavery. he brought his family from indiana in march of 1855, three months after the town of topeka was established. he becomes a very active -- an activist in the free state cause. beginning by the fall of 1855, these rival forces are ea

the united states. this morning nine soccer officials and five sports marketing and media executives in the united states and switzerland were charged in a bribery scheme reaching back to 1991. so why is this all happening now? well the accusations of graft, about soccer officials who get too cozy with sports marketers and media, reached a fever pitch in 2010. that's when fifa opaque bidding process awarded russia and qatar the next two championship tournaments. a qatari official was accused of doling out $5 million of bribes to his,dispied despite summer temperatures that can surpass 110 degrees. qatar denies any wrongdoing but the qatari official was banned for life from fifa, to disclose, al jazeera's home is in qatar and is funded in part by qatar. andy, good to see you. we are hearing that uefa is calling for a postponement of the elections, uefa is not a friend of fifa for a long time. >> uefa is one continental confederation that said they would not support sepp blatter. at the moment absolutely

these are nation state actors, including or semi-state nation actors including china north korea, iran russia former soviet union sponsored states and individuals and enterprises associated with them and very sophisticated international crime end cats. so if one of those entities trieng glats on a company it's likely not going to end well for that company or their customers. we need a more robust, more muscular response to these threats and the fact that this committee is paying attention to these issues, we appreciate it very much. mr. chairman thank you to the house for passing on more than one occasion threat information legislation, we hope the senate does the same and, again, we're not talking about sharing personal information but that threat information sharing bill is very helpful to this cause and making the country more prepared to defend against these threats. as it relates to the financial service sector and the payment system our sector as the chairman mentioned has been dealing with these issues in a regulated context for quite some time, graham leach bliely passed in 199

. >> rose: this islamic state. this islamic state, they have to occupy territory and government. you do serious damage to their narrative. but how you do that and get them out of iraq is a tough problem and i'm not sure we've got the solution. >> rose: how important is it when you see the raids like in sir dwra where you get the seventh, sixth eighth leader which is clearly in charge of finances and that's important for them because they need to sell the oil they need resources to carry on that kind of thing they need to have the ability to recruit all of that. >> well, we used to semi joke in the situation that the worst job to have is the number three position in al quaida because we just kept killing them. number two we couldn't find and number one we couldn't find for a long time but number threes, they had a very short tenure in office. i think it's important to be able to send a message that our forces do have enough intelligence that they at times, can go after these leaders, that they can strike behind the lines and this is the kind of thing i had in mind in terms of furt

he was being tried in a politically liberal state that does not allow the death penalty for state cases>> yes. >> some jurors believe-- believe--some--under the guidance of the influence of his older brother and still this jury sentenced him to death. >> so you bring a lot of things up. yes, we are in a liberal state but we are in a federal jurisdiction that imposes death penalty in terrorism cases. and they're death qualified meaning that everyone who sits on this jury has the judge who say we can and we're willing to impose the death penalty. that stacks the deck. number two they don't know a thing about whether or not the victims are in favor of the death penalty. there has been a lot of discussion about whether or not if jurors in this case should have known what these victims wanted. they didn't know about victims such as the ones we just heard about in erica's report, who wanted the death penalty, but they didn't know about the richard's family, the little boy, the very first--the second count on which they came back with death the little boy the young victim specificallying aggra
