a change the rules of the game the power of the oligarchs was constrained. political scientist alexander doogan has a right wing nationalist with controversial views but the kremlin was starting to look at things his way. the only gods were forbidden to form their own factions in parliament or to finance political activities or to have the mass media in their pockets or to use them to present their own line. as oligarchs who acknowledged the primacy of the state could remain those who didn't lie the sent into exile abroad or to jail. the guns. that was the fate that overtook mikhail khodorkovsky head of the yukos oil conglomerate he had publicly criticized putin and put forward his own political policies in october two thousand and three he was arrested for embezzlement and tax evasion and sentenced to nine years in prison your course was nationalized putin now had one opponent less and control over the gigantic oil company really a source in the news. it was a very large companies were formed which allowed the ruling group to redistribute the huge flow of c

when the army intervene to protect the dying from the anger of the population. the human toll was enormous the floods also impacted the nation's economy. and at the time the leading export of rice in the world lost a quarter of his production. already know. this area we have the right direction. all of the country. to make sure that in the dry season during the flood. the production of the rice has been. in bank. many repercussions first and most heavily on the lives of inhabitants but also in the financial stability of the countries affected in washington d.c. experts from the world bank calculate the social and economic costs of such disasters. the problem with the link between floods and poverty is that the poor are more vulnerable and proportionately lose more than the rich it's a machine to increase inequality so if you're a little poorer than the others you live in an area which is more at risk and you'll have more chance of losing what you have during the floods so trying to improve your economic status will become even more difficult. so you feel. with m

the the trumpet ministration is in the midst of trying to broker a peace deal between the palestinians and the israelis and president trump has called this the cornerstone the potential cornerstone of his administration his son in law an advisor gerry questioner just got back from the middle east where he talked about this just last month and also consider the timing of the closure the possible closure of this office the certification of this office just ended in the certification period for this office just ended in november it's been renewed every year for the last thirty years so the timing is interesting it looks as though right it appears as though the trump administration could be using this office closure as a bargaining chip with the palestinians but it could backfire because as you mentioned the palestinians said they could potentially cut off all communication all negotiations all ties with the u.s. over this so is it a done deal the closure diana. it's not a done deal the president has ninety days to review this decision and if he thinks that the palestinians are engaged in

this is the bad guy from the battle of the bulge. he's every person's image of the nazi, ferociously to looking but mean that mesh ferociously -- ferociously good-looking what mean as well. sinister. then we look at a picture of a g.i. i love this picture. this is from "life" magazine taken some time during the normandy campaign. look at him. he is healthy, fit, strong, he is doing his bit for uncle sam. his helmet is at a jaunty angle. when you look at just about every single hollywood war movie that has ever been made, that is the inspiration. you can see it. "band of brothers." "saving private ryan." that is the look. than you think of russian war heroes. lethal, icy beautiful russians. then we think of the bad, sneaky british. you think of the general who summarizes everything we think about as stuffy, old-fashioned england, stuck in the past. clinging onto an empire that has long since outlived its usefulness. and when we think of the germans, this is what we think about. particularly in the early years, the german army was the

as it was given to them to see the right, belonged to both the men of the north and to the men of the south. as the years rolled by and as all of us, wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self-devotion alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride of the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for a freedom of a race, the lover of his country and of all man kind. the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty gaze, abraham lincoln.

in the early years, the german army was the best in the world. motorbikes and andcars and dive bombers the best small arms. and they have tiger tanks. and we are thinking about takes in the second world war, we are thinking about tiger tanks. big, mean, very scary. and it is no accident that the tiger tank is a very much a bad guy. thrilled byan, i am new world war ii to films coming out. that there will be follow-ups to band of brothers. i was thrilled when fury came out. i was excited about it. not least because the director had been going on about how authentic it was. i see is thisg quote on the side of the picture. in world war ii, american tanks were outgunned and out armored by the more advanced german ones. you just can't say that. on what baseness -- on what basis is that statement being made? not an accurate one. pershing had a 90 millimeter gun. that is bigger than any tiger. the allies had tanks on par. there were good reasons why sherman tanks were not as or as heavy as a tiger tank. it is not a question of one being better or not. t

but the proof will be in the pudding when the rule is released before the end of the month. and i appreciate the work of senator grassley and senator ernst and senator thune, senator durbin, who's here with us right now in the chamber, and others who have worked on this renewable fuel standard, as well as my colleague, senator franken. renewable fuels reduce the environmental impact of our transportation and energy sectors and cut our reliance on foreign oim. every time a new -- oil. every time a new study is released, i become more convinced that investment in the renewable fuels is an investment in rural america. last year a study by a.b.f. economics showed that ethanol had $17.3 billion in sales for minnesota businesses. and here's a big one -- the ethanol industry also supports over 18,000 full-time jobs in minnesota. as i see the president is from the state of alaska, the presiding officer, just as he knows the oil industry is important in our state, the ethanol industry is it important in the midwest. i believe they can both coexist. last weekend i visited the great pl

in 1856, one of the most notable things about the plain between the plain and the river was the presence of these stock russellers. one of reasons i love this image so much is that it happens after the gold rush. so after california becomes a state, after gold mining becomes its major reason for existence, indian stock rasling is still at large part of the central valley economy, the trade persists. the other thing i like is that in california there is a stereotype that californian indians were very docile, easily defeated, very peaceful and noncno noncombative. california indians don't have the same kind of public image as say, a lakota warrior on horse back, so they're not as, bad ass in the popular imagination as the plains indians. i love this image because that guy is pretty fierce. he has some feathers going on. he looks like he could do some damage to your horse herd or to you if you try to get in his way. so i like that even, you know, well into the gold rush years, people still acknowledges that these mounted livestock rassellers were bad. the gold rush era these mounted livesto
