that consistency of a strong regulatory program rather than state to state approaches.states are close to the ground and we have to live in reality and prevent the problems associated with the climate change we deal with on daily basis and we have to take action we have to be beholden to our constituents. a significant factor is addressing the impacts and reduce carbon pollution through our new regulatory program, looking at advanced transportation, bringing in new businesses, extending the clean energy economy and addressing our community. >> let's go down another layer here. here at the world resources institute's we are very much in favor of a good solid conservative idea. one of the ways you practice problems is crisis solution. you are chernow of the greenhouse gas initiative. will this system in the united states, virginia is now poised to join. can you say more about the role of these regional trading systems? are they inherently limited? what is the future? do you see a way in which we could imagine reggie taking a step that california is taking? is linked to th

and to the to be united states and say publicly we told you so we can't rely on the united states in the end it's not a credible like that anymore and the only the only way we can go forward to secure a survival as a political regime is to increase in richmond of uranium and to because you don't know the path but again we are getting reaction now from israel i think we have a statement from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu let's take a listen to that. fully supports president rove's bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with a terrorist regime in tehran israel is opposed the nuclear deal from the start because we said that rather than blocking iran's path to a bomb the deal actually paves the wrong path to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs and this within a few years time the removal of sanctions under the deal has already produced disastrous results the deal didn't push war further away it actually brought it closer to the deal didn't reduce iran's aggression dramatically increased. ok benjamin netanyahu they're saying that the deal make it more likely

benefiting now from such actions as a united states the united states is not only not a partner they cannot be a partner they are not a broker they have taken the seats of netanya they are dictating the solution this wrong in this region towards lawlessness extremists in this region have been strengthened and bravado demolition by these american israeli citizens and actions more than a time before moderates and the arab world people like me have been destroyed so that when the nations of the world if they can't get through security council if they can get through the international criminal court if they can do anything about their threat that means you're telling the arab people the only way for you is do is while and the only way we're for you is to support extremism and that's what we've been fighting against as arabs because we we want to live and let live we want we want to human rights we want to human rights women's rights democracy the rule of law we want peace but with such actions such fascism such up our side being exercised by israel and israel getting away with it i think

so far nine people have been executed in states across the united states. we are going to return to the alcatraz east museum and learn about some of the current controversies. >> the lethal injection machine that we have is part of a piece called the control module. it has 2 sets of all of the buttons, so two steps of executioners had the same buttons that they push to release the drugs. however, they do not know which one of them is releasing the lethal dose. scientists are looking for new ways to improve on the electric chair. the fact that the lethal injection machine renders the victim unconscious before death was considered a way that made it more humane. in 1982 using a combination known as the chapman protocol causes unconsciousness. drugs that are used for lethal injection, they stop sale of these drugs to the united states. we practice capital punishment. they have become less available and there has been states that have moved to a one drug method . there have been a number of court cases related to that because some businesses felt that they are

we are a state that is broke. we're not really a state, we are a connolly.rything we have in the state has been sent out to make other people millionaires and billionaires. amy: tim murphy come your comment? >> at first glance, he looks like a unicorn in democratic does she got elected to a seat that donald trump carried with like 70% of the vote in 2016. riding a significant wave and was virginia and across the country. he was at the vanguard of the teacher strike last winter. he was sort of the paul revere of the teacher strike. he gave a speech that signaled this is something that was on the horizon. he has gotten a lot of momentum from teachers in west virginia. he has led the push for more teacher pay and led the push to build a marijuana industry in the state. he is running on a real kind of apulist wave -- sort of counter to what we've seen from president trump. amy: we are one to leave it there and continue to follow election politics. tim murphy is a senior reporter at mother jones. thank you so much. i want to thank our guest kevin robillard, who i

[applause] now it is my great honor to introduce our new secretary. you all know his bio. he is a former three term member of congress, former, now director of the central intelligence agency. i offer my own perspective as somebody who comes from the private practice of law in looking at his bio. i looked at it through the lens of a former law firm partner and i imagined how i would assess his bio if i were looking at opposing counsel and had to advise my client who we would be dealing with. what stood out to me was we have a tank commander who then went to harvard law school and was elected to the harvard law review, which is a pretty unusual combination. if i were advising my client about who we were going to be dealing with on the other side of the table or in negotiations or if it were in a courtroom, i would say wow, we are dealing with a cross between george patton and oliver wendell holmes.

their economy, frankly, with all of their oil is about the state of size of the state of maryland. it's not a global super power hour and they are coming up against much stronger countries. again, i think the president has a hard task ahead of him, and the u.s. just withdrew the sanctions that applied to other countries, secondary sanctions. it's still illegal for americans to do business with iran, whether other countries will go along with the repossession of american saint >> sanctions, under this context when the president just said we could have had a better deal, i think remains to be seen how the french decide to play this, the british and the germans, let alone the chinese and the russians. i think will be a very interesting several months ahead when it comes to iran policy. >> shepard: i'm out of time, but before we go, internally in iran, the hard leader of that islamic state, there has been extreme push and pull and friction within the country on who will have control of this government. what effect does this have on that relationship and the more hardliners. i wouldn't

secretary of state. north korea the first over the easter weekend and the second one resulting a thirteen hour visit we're told resulting in the release of these americans we're told there was a ninety minute meeting between the secretary of state and the north korean leader and it was then we understand that he accepted the u.s. proposal for the release of these americans certainly this is an important first step of course because all eyes are of course on the upcoming summit between the north korean leader and the u.s. president one that the president says the date and time has now been determined but that still has not been made public so certainly a lot of anticipation we know that there is going to be further. conducting of tasks on these americans as they arrive now what we were wondering is whether or not their families would be here to greet them we are told that is not the case as far as we understand what's going to happen with these three americans once they do get off the plane as they will h

ar-15 and state law. they took the pistol grip off and you can legally selling rifle in this state. --y have a very weird griff weird grip. it's very ugly. the manufacturers and the retailers yet compliant. it's a very silly law. another favorite feature is a telescoping shoulder stock. how would you like to live in a society where all shoes were the same size? you can get a lot of shoes at but they fit the consumers. where all the rifles have a shoulder stock where they can make it a little bit longer. that's one of the list of astures that makes it listed a felony, if you have an adjustable shoulder stock. that makes it more concealable. beyou don't want a rifle to smaller than a certain link, you can just say that, you can say it's 26 inches, which is the federal standard. if the shoulder stock adjusts and is shorter than 26 inches, it is not considered concealable. the shoulder stock can adjust to or three inches. in thees all this mean context of the second amendment? what happening is politicians say they want to do something, it's the same story. one of they say -- they say w

system and about 25 states come the states that are not right to work states. centcom if you are a teacher or firefighters, you can pay full fees. if you don't like them, you can just a agency fees. this phase will only go to subsidize the cost of your union negotiating on your behalf. a great balance was struck. it was not controversial until replacedamuel alito justice sandra day o'connor on the supreme court. atimmediately took aim abood. his theory is everything i union political and when you are required to subsidize substitute on your behalf, your first amendment right has been violated. radicalan extremely theory. this takes the concept of free association touch farther than the supreme court has ever taken it. shortly after justice leah died, there was a case of the court addressing this issue and it divided four-four. it said was we are ready to strike down agency fees and turn every state into a right to work state. is now on the court. you've know he did not ask any questions starring the oral arguments in janus, it is clear he is going to provide th

we feel the state over stepped in a city, where a charter city in the state of california, as a charterity, we have the right to raise tacks and have our own -- raise taxes and have our own police departments and set priorities for the police locally. when sb-54 was passed, it said, look, as a matter of law, we will not have you guys do the something ordeal with the federal government when it comes to u.s. immigration issues. that's where we drew the line. it had to do with the oath of office, why would we choose between honoring a state or federal constitution. what we are trying to do is maintaining control of our own police department. >> in the meeting, the president suggested that oakland mayor, libby schaff, be prosecuted for obstruction of justice, due to when she issued a public warning of a pending immigration aid in our community. we asked the mayor about this, and here's what she said. >> i do not see how it can be illegal to inform people of the law. if the you were to receive the same type of information again today, would you do the exact same thing again? >> under the exa

alexi: he kept mentioning five of the 10 red states. i'm still watching west virginia, even though don blankenship was not successful. i've heard from some democrats thatthey consider candidate to be the biggest threat to senator manchin. and claire mccaskill in missouri is someone who is pretty loanable -- phone rubble -- vulnerable. i don't think that's what we should forget now. steve: dave? dave: i heard someone say opposite about west virginia. the congressman from southwest virginia who they beat in the primary. i would continue watching that race though. the question of the trumpcare is whether people can still run on their own brands or whether the reality tv president can make every race about supporting me or not supporting me. west virginia is a perfect test. .e is a talented politician he has voters who have -- about 1/3 voted for romney and him on the same day in 2012. it's a relatively mediocre republican candidate. if they are winning that race, that says a lot about the hardening of the party cost brands. -- party's bran

those five states will be challenging. i wouldn't be surprised to sweep all five of them. >> the president's poll numbers are inching upwards, does that concern you? mr. poersch: inching is the right word. given how low where he has been, we haven't seen significant improvement. more to the point, the question of measuring of the generic ballot, who are people most likely to vote for, democrat or republican? that has been a pretty consistent line where democrats have a comfortable lead. that is important going into a challenging map. >> a number of polls show the majority of americans feel the country is economically moving in the right direction. mr. poersch: there is still, just as there was before the last election, a strong number of working families around the country that are trying their best to get ahead and looking for things to shake up. there is no level of holding back the unhappiness about washington and general -- in general and there is a sense people want to see change in congress. david: some republicans h

move that's a very state by state answer right now certain states such as delaware for example say a state similar to rhode island and how it's sort of commercial gaming. is constructed there one of the first i think that will move their state that has come out recently and said you know our prior laws on the books already allow for this good to go new jersey obviously is they were a party sure case they will have to move quickly i think other state. it's like connecticut potentially if there's a special session later this year which there could be could move quickly as well as new york and you know rhode island as well pennsylvania has already legalized they did so last year with a bill that said if the ruling you know if the federal law is struck down we talked about she were active right they ruled that you know if the laws struck down sports betting will become legal pending you know the government regulations in the probably geishas of those regs which they have not done yet west virginia did the same thing earlier this year mississippi did the same thing last year so we expect

with the new secretary of state mike pompei oh. what other reason the pump. well it's interesting this was a surprise visit by pompeo that we found out about yesterday as donald trump was announcing his decision to pull the united states out of the two thousand and fifteen iranian nuclear deal is not the first time we've seen a pump aoe in north korea he was in fact there even when he was the cia director in early april also in negotiating with with officials there ahead of a possible historic summit between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong un now he says he was there to set up a date and time for this meeting that could potentially take place between the two leaders it would be the first time that a sitting u.s. president has met with a north korean leader and we have found trump has just announced that details have been decided in terms of the location at least and that they will be announced in the next three days we don't know for sure where that will be other than that they said it will not be in the demili

the united states has one of the best legal systems worldwide. what our laws require is that the person first be screened by an asylum officer. that is a threshold screening. if you demonstrate a credible fear of persecution, meaning it is likely you might be persecuted if you are sent back, you will go before a judge. the judge will determine if you are entitled to asylum. host: is it a matter of saying the right buzzwords or do you have to have proof of the threats you face? guest: there has been a lot of commentary about what is the actual standard applied. obtaining asylum is difficult. that theve made claims folks in the caravan are going to game the system, that they have been coached. that is why we have an officer that is trained to identify fraud or if the person poses a dangerous threat to the country, that they are screened out. that is why there is a second layer where they go before a judge and there will be a trial lawyer representing the government that will test the case. a tragedy of our court system is that our immigration court

nigeria's trade with the united states is $6 billion united states dollars. 2016-2017to statistics. we urge a greater effort to increase this substantially. we thank the united states government very much for cooperation we have received in our efforts to recover stolen funds. our two governments have put machinery in place for their respective attorney generals to cooperate and ensure recovery over $500 million in united states funds that we have invested around the world. we congratulate united states government on launching the asset recovery initiative which was spearheaded by the united states department of justice. we hope we can continue to count on the united states in this area. the government of nigeria remains deeply committed to the principles of human rights as well as the protection of people's freedoms. we commit to ensure that all documented cases of human rights. i thank you very much.

state department , do you think there is a criminal deep state at the state department? >> i haven't seen the comments from the president, i don't think there is a deep state at the state department. >> you have formally served as cia director, do you believe your colleagues are part of that deep state? >> this term has been thrown around, i will say this the employees that work for me, nearly uniformly were aimed at achieving the president subject. >> that is your experience that the fbi and department of justice -- >> yes. there are always exceptions to every rule, i never had an organization who didn't have that actors, no government organization is exempt from having malfeasance. >> in general you are confident that the members of those agencies are honoring their oath united states constitution. >> in general, yes. >> it was secretary pompeo testifying wednesday about the 2019 budget report. he appears before the senate foreign relations committee live at 10 am eastern on c-span three. >>> thursday morning, we are in madison wisconsin the next up on the c-span 50 ca

of states laws. banned them have in their states. so for the federal government to impose that on the territories at this time i believe is deeply unfair. this is a highly regulated, cultural and historic activity in the territories. not forget the real author of this bill is the humane society which, with the federal government gets into this, not forget the real becomes a slippery slope. as the humane society also wants to ban sporting activities or hunting activities which animals hunts another animal. is the gentleman from illinois going to offer an amendment to stop dogs who assist humans in looking for ducks and in other places? no. but all of the territories' delegates are against this amendment. for someone from another state to offer an amendment to restrict something in the u.s. territories is deeply unfair. at the last hearing of the committee in which this issue was addressed, which was nine sessions ago, the humane society also testified that legislation at state levels should be the pro

united states of. those they go out on a limb but if you put them in israel on one side they're opposed to russia china several e.u. members say we're quite happy with the existing deal why would the united states and israel pick themselves against those countries. who first of all there is the long term strategic retreat of the united states in the region that is caused by a somewhat you know not complete alliance between iran and russia but there is a lot of cooperation that is making progress russia is making a lot of progress in the middle east in terms of influence and it's siding with iran at least in terms of what is happening in syria id supporting that e.g. to make government. this is having an effect on long term american allies like turkey for example i think turkey is the most shining example whereby turkey says ok i'm going to deal with this new situation and that's cool great with russia and iran to preserve our interests our long term allies of the united states in the middle east are fe

could it be salvageable even without the united states?> the short answer is tha-- this is a seven-part deal, seven countries. the u.s. cannot kill the deal all by itself, but without question the president's actions have wounded the deal severely. it will be difficult to preserve the deal if the u.s. is the only one in violation, but it is crucial that an attempt be made to keep the deal going, and that's why i hope to see iran and europe as well as russia and china take a deep breath, not respond as impulsively as the white house does and see if there is something that can be done to salvage this deal. at the minimum i would hope that the european union would respond as strongly to an american violation of the deal as they would have responded to an iranian violation. >> well, what does that mean? what are you suggesting that europe does? >> i suggest that europe should take action to make clear first that it continues to support the deal, secondly to give iran whatever it can give in economic incentives, that is, continued trade and inv

the united states no longer makes empty threats. when i make promises, i keep them. in fact, at this very moment, secretary pompeo is on his way to north korea in preparation for my upcoming meeting with kim jong un. plans are being made. relationships are building. hopefully a deal will happen, and with the help of china, south korea, and japan, a future of great prosperity and security can be achieved for everyone. as we exit the iran deal, we will be working with our allies to find a real, comprehensive, and lasting solution to the iranian nuclear threat. this will include efforts to eliminate the threat of iran's ballistic missile program to stop its terrorist activities worldwide, and to block its menacing activity across the middle east. in the meantime, powerful sanctions will go into full effect. if the regime continues its nuclear aspirations, it will have bigger problems than it's ever had before. finally, i wanted to deliver a message to the long suffering people of iran. the people of america stand with you. it's been 40 years since this dictatorship seiz

american migrants celebrated the news as they wait their turn to enter into the united states it took them a month to travel from honduras el salvador and guatemala. well those are the headlines the news continues here on after inside stories. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that matter to al-jazeera. ratcheting up the rhetoric against iran the newly appointed u.s. secretary of state says the iranians are up to threats and urges more sanctions but what kind of threats is a run to the u.s. and the region and kind of iranian influence be contained this is inside story. hello there and welcome to inside story on lorica the newly installed u.s. secretary of state has wraps up his three country tour of the middle east in jordan where he met the foreign minister and king abdullah might pompei underscore the importance of the jordanian role in helping solve conflicts in neighboring countries in particular he urged palestinian leaders to reengage in talks with is

own, state run entities? in your own paper that you put out for european leadership networks, the european investment bank, for example, might be able to extend guarantees. there are other banks that have heavy government involvement and credit agencies in such. could they not pick up some of the stock? >> thank you for reading my paper, first of all. i'm glad somebody did. >> that is why you are here. [laughter] >> there are two points to your question. they are going through a long process at the moment, gradually moving iran to the list of countries where the eib could operate. that is a process that is ongoing. it will take another few months. once that is done, it is time for european negotiators to throw up a framework agreement with their counterparts in iran. this is likely to be a drawnout, complicated process. the real significance of that right now rather than technical is political. it is showing a. in a you to the private sector but also to iran that we are continuing business with iran. that's t

my state fails to serve as our nation's nuclear west dump. that's why i'm proud to say that because of my leadership, the senate has repeatedly refused to pass a law funding the high-level nuclear waste repository, a position that has most recently been confirmed in the most -- was confirmed in the most recent omnibus spending measure. because of my current work as nevada's senior senator and my bipartisan work with the former senate majority leader, yucca mountain remains dead -- and i repeat, it's as simple as that. but despite yucca's clear and unquestionable death long ago, some of our friends on the other side of the capitol continue to waste their time attempting to bring back life to this ill-conceived and fiscally irresponsible plan. their efforts keep alive a long-standing fight over states' rights, and distracts us from the real task at hand which is finding a viable, long-term nuclear west storage solution that meets the needs of all americans. i'll be the first person to recognize the important role nuclear power plays in a stable
