the army air forces, british royal air force is, and the royal canadian air force. the pt-19 was an open cockpit design. advanced training was a compost in aircraft like the north americanee tons and retractable landing gear, the t0-6 was designed to help pilots fly aircraft they would fly in the war. 16,000 texans were built. when the war began, the corporation was a big name in aviation. the company built radios for the be 25 to be 34. it also manufacturing -- for the be 25. the company is now a part of honeywell aviation, one of our sponsors of the arsenal of democracy flyover. there was no signal company that made a bigger contribution to america's success than the grumman corporation. grumman designed and built the wildcat f6 hellcat fighter. all planes were essential to success to a naval battles in the pacific. in 1994, the company merged with northrup. we will see grumman planes in the formation flyovers today. when the triumph group a acquired an industry if you use ago, they acquired some history. the corsair was a critical tool in the war against japan. the company that was once -- is not part of the triumph group, a sponsor of today's flyover. general electo

the futenma air station in okinawa. american leaders say the new deployment will increase the capability of u.s. special operations forces to respond quickly to crises and contingencies in japan and the asia-pacific region. the u.s. air force at first proposed sending the aircraft to the air base in okinawa, but the plan was reportedly scrapped in favor of yokota due to strong opposition from the public in the southern prefecture. there has been mixed reactions to the u.s. announcement. officials in japan's central government have welcomed the news of the deployment. but authorities from local municipalities say they're concerned. >> translator: as part of its asia-focused rebalanced policy and rapid response system i believe that the u.s. plan to deploy ospreys at an air base in tokyo will help boost deterrence of the japan/u.s. alliance and will contribute to the stability of the asia-pacific region. >> suga says the government will carefully try to gain the understanding of local residents. he says safety will be given top priority. officials from japan's foreign and defense ministries visited municipalities in wester

for the shia militias that are leading the operation, and the iraqi security forces are complaining that the americans are not doing enough. air strikes are slow. they are not coming in at the times they are requesting. and there is a debate in washington d.c. whether you need to have the specially trained special forces calling in air strikes quicker, it means boots on the ground in iraq something that neither the iraqis nor the us are keen on. >> thank you so much. imran khan there >>> now, yemen - there has been more heavy fighting between houthi rebels in the southern city of tiaz. four civilians were killed. the saudi border guard was killed and several other wounded by shelling from houthi rebels. here in doha they were joined by hashem ahelbarra, reporting extensively from yemen. first of all, can we start by talking about the conference held in imam. what is on the agenda there? >> it's an attempt by the americans to break the political impasse. we are talking to the americans to implement the united nations 2216. is says the houthis should recognise the government and pull out from the areas controlled since taking ov

those losses are, but rather what it's revealed about the limitations of an overly constrained american air campaign. the weaknesses of iraqi force, the growing maligned role of iran, and it ineffectiveness and inadequacy of u.s. military support for iraqi and syrian partners. but most concerning it highlights the shortcomings of the administration's indecisive policy, inadequate commitment, and incoherent strategy. this misguided approach has failed to stop if not foster the expansion of isil to a dozen countries. the loss of ramadi once the symbol of iraqis working together with brave young americans in uniform to defeat al qaeda must be recognized as a significant defeat. isil's victory gives it the appearance of strength and boosts its ability to recruit more fighters while reinforcing iran's narrative that only it and its proxies can rescue iraq. the fall of ramadi and capture by isil of american supplied military equipment is another setback for the united states and further undermines our credibility as a reliable strategic partner in the region. yet the obama administration seems unwilling or unable to grasp the strategic

the ground with combined forces. the problem is, they need american religious support, air support, and special operations to help themcharlie: should we offer air support in yemen? senator rubio: the saudis are conducting that. it is telling that they did it without notifying the united states well in advance of what they were about to do. charlie: but the u.s. did give them some advice. senator rubio: we have given them some increasing advice, but not to the level it should have been. ultimately, that is a much more complex situation. it involves iran but also al qaeda. and others that are now in the country. but the answer in terms of confronting these threats of regional influence by iran yemen has become the latest flashpoint. they played for a joint pan arab sunni force that will stand up to extremism could confront the challenges. with u.s. logistical and air support. charlie: and advisory support on the ground. senator rubio: yes, i think ultimately you can invest special operations forces to help them improve capabilities. but these countries have expressed -- they understand it is their fight. they are not j

senator john mccain told cbs' "face the nation" he wants to send thousands more american troops to join the fight against isis. >> forward air controllers special forces, training, equipping. right now it's shia militia, the same ones that we fought against during the surge that are now doing the fighting. >> sreenivasan: meanwhile, isis is gaining ground in syria. government t.v. reports militants killed at least 400 people in palmyra, including women and children. the isis flag is flying over the city's ancient ruins. in cleveland, the police chief says demonstrators will be allowed to march during tonight's nba playoff game at quicken loans arena, as long as the protests remain peaceful. yesterday's protests were mostly peaceful immediately following the acquittal of police officer michael brelo. but by the end of the night, police had arrested 71 demonstrators, some of whom were accused of assaulting innocent bystanders. the protests began after officer brelo was cleared of all charges in the shooting deaths of two unarmed black suspects. negotiators are claiming they've made progress during intense talks over iran's nuclear program. but iran's le

what we are paying for is essentially, a professional army, navy, and air force that is made up of only 1% of the american people. and represents only 1% -- families and friends. and so we have a professional army, navy, and air force, and probably easily the best in the world to fight either a big war or even a small one. the problem is, we are fighting and facing unconventional enemies. who fight a different way. the fact that we have 12,000 warheads on alert is not going to affect the islamic state fighters. it will not affect what is going on in syria. and so you need some alternative, and we are developing the best to fight a big war and the best to fight a small intervention war. brian: your guess as to whether or not we will have to fight a big war? walter: i think it is very doubtful, because i think it is one of the quote benefits of nuclear weapons. since their original use, they haven't been used. i think they have prevented major wars from happening. but you can't say forever. so you have to prepare to some degree, and i think that that is what nuclear weapons are essentially there to do, to t
