it is anchored by the defense strategic guidance. president's and $526.60 billion fiscal year 2014 request is supporting troops very much of a war in afghanistan cover protecting readiness, modernizing the aging weapons inventory in keeping with the president's strategic guidance, and sustaining the quality of the all-volunteer force. it also requests a place holder for overseas contingent operations, oco, at the fiscal year 2013 level. this does not include a former a formal request because they were delayed in order to provide commanders enough time to do such requirements. we will soon be submitting a budget amendment with a revised spending level and accountable detail. the following are the major components of the fiscal year 2014, $526.60 base budget request. military pay and benefits including tricare and retirement 32% of$170 representing the total base budget. operating costs including $77.30 billion for civilian pay, total $180.10 billion resenting 34% of the total budget. acquisitions and other investments, procurement, res

the u.s. spends more on defense than the next 16 largest defense in the military -- in the world combined. this is true in fact and will not change much in the coming years. it is also worth noting most of the rest of the money the world spends on defense are countries that are allies of france and the united states. these levels of defense are reflection of the amount of responsibility that the u.s. and friends and allies share for providing peace and security. you may also wonder whether the sequester will change the facts and a significant way. it will not. here is why. sequester was never intended to be implemented and is very disruptive, because it gives us very little managerial flexibility in where we take the budget adjustments that we have to take this year. wherever we have flexibility, we are favoring and protecting the rebalance. we continue to review and revise plans for escalope -- executing 2013 budget and the face of sequester, and also the face of this rich -- the increased cost of afghanistan campaign. back in january i gave direction about what is exempt from or protecte

the president's budget back loads in years beyond the five year defense plan, back loads most of the reductions he proposes. so they don't have an affect, they don't have a significant effect on this five year defense plan we have submitted. now, that said, this is precisely why secretary of defense has taken us on the path toward a strategic review. because as we look at not only the president's budget proposal, but also full sequestration, we've got to understand what that will be doing to the force. the reason that i still stand by what i said, but it doesn't affect this fy '14 submission, is that most of those cuts are backloaded. i think 6 billion or so in fy '14, but that's the reason i can still say with confidence what i said before. >> mr. smith. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to drill down on the budget question a little bit because i think frequently react like if you got one thing from defense, it's unsustainable, unworkable national city, falls completely apart. that's obviously ridiculous. anywhere in government, there's places to cut, this places to cut kind of depe

the president's budget back was years beyond the five-year defense plan most of the reductions he proposes they don't have a significant effect on this five-year defense plan but made it. i think, this is resized by secretary of defense has taken us on a path towards a strategic review because those who advocate not only the president's budget proposal, but full sequestration commode but understand with all due to the force. it doesn't affect the submission that most of the skype are backloaded. explainer seven at 514. that's the reason i can still say with confidence what i said before. >> misters that. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to throw down the budget question because frequently in this committee act if you cut 1 penny from defense, it's unsustainable, unworkable and nationalist purity falls apart and it's obviously ridiculous anywhere in government. if there's basis to cut, it depends where you are cutting them what you're doing and the problem we have right now is sequestration. across the board coming deep, done right in the middle of the fiscal year. so the problems you des

department of the defense. first, then we look at the reality of what we're going to be dealing with. from that comes the numbers and how we prepare to make that cut. >> will that yield an outline, a budget give to us? give to congress that takes in to account that number at least for fy14? >> i don't we're talking about sending up a new budget, but we're certainly working with the congress and the appropriate committees on how we intend to move forward. and let me ask the comptroller. if he wants to anything to this. >> no. i expect to send up another budget and provide information. >> i don't want to get bogged down in the se semantics. the point is, when will we see your recommendation about how you deal with the number starting fy14? >> i mean i think it would be sometime after may 31st we need to give the secretary time to review it. >> we will see that sort of proposal whether you want to call it a new budget or whatever you want to call it? >> i would assume at some point if the secretary agrees whether h

his conversation for the national defense university lasts about an hour. [inaudible conversations] >> good morning everyone and welcome to the account on foreign relations. a reminder, today's meeting is on the record. greetings to everyone there as well. my name is celina realuyo. i'm not national security at the defense university and i will be serving a circus rider. with a great honor honor and privilege of having secretary andrew shapiro with as here today who will be discussing his tenure. i understand you're the longest-serving publicly appointed secretary and if you think about it, you've been with us at a very auspicious time because it is unprecedented cooperation between the state department and defense department. talking about the defense diplomacy. as he looked back at your four years, what would she think of your two or three top highlights? >> i think you hit it right on the head that one of the most significant accomplishment has been restoring balance between the state department and department of defense. after 9/11 we were out war and a

certainly not within the department of defense. i know the cape has been much more accurate in the past. developing accurate cost sfiments for these programs -- estimates for these programs. certainly the time. and i can't imagine the cost. billions and billions and billions of dollars have been wasted in the acquisition process for the united states department of defense over the last number of years. and in this budget era that we're in, the sequestration, i can't tell you -- you know, all of us didn't appreciate what we're having to go through, but i can't tell you, i don't think you know or anyone knows whether this is going to last for one year or 10 years. and so we're going to have to make some significant changes. that's issue one. two, on civilian work force issues, within the pentagon, as i understand it, as the forces are coming down, both army, navy, marine corps, the civilian work force numbers are going down very little relative to that. and the reasons for that are numerous. i understand that. i understand you have a

at some of the nation's largest defense contractors. shows just how women are breaking through the glass ceiling in a field that has been dominated by men. >> when you set out to do this article, where did you start? >> i started by reaching out to some friends in the u.s. marine corps because i knew they were invested in the f-35. the f-35 is supposed to replace every marine combat airplane that they have. i spent a lot of time with marines in afghanistan. i want to learn more about this. in those initial conversations that led me to reach out to more people, to critics on the outside, but to folks at the air force, navy, to really borrow into this. what i learned very quickly is that this is a very complex program with a very troubled history and it was not something i would understand overnight. i spent weeks and weeks. >> when did you start it? >> i started in the fall. i was distracted by of some other things, not the least of which was the resignation of david petraeus. i came back to it earlier this year in large part -- in the f

i can speak in the defense department. it is a complicated problem because there were other agencies of government in other branches of government that are participating in the export controls process, but we in the department of defense have improved but not continue to improve the technical awareness by which we make export controls decisions. and in the second part was how we are organized for building partnerships of capacity and there is also an area where i think we can improve. so i take your point and will take your suggestions, as i always do. >> the lady here in the second row, and this will be the penultimate question, one more after that. >> good. >> australian national university. how important is it for japan to embrace collective self-defense? the rebalance to work effectively? >> well, i think japan's increasing awareness of their own abilities, their own capabilities and their increasing freeing of themselves from the structures they impose upon themselves some decades ago is a constructive thing. they're d

it's something that the department of defense and all of those responsible for the missile defense capability and our strategies and the tactic it's a real issue. it's one we are dealing with. we have to deal with it. ii think it's like all of the issues. how do you deal with it? what are we doing? one way to deal with it is the third site i don't know -- if you have, would you let us know what that is? >> as you know, we were instructed through the national defense authorization act to conduct environmental impact statementings looking at possibility of putting a site on the east coast. that investigation, that study is underway. of his year.ve a complete by the we'll obviously share that with the congress. >> oka thti i have, mr. secretary, the commitment made by the president in order to get the votes necessary for that, and i -- those commitments have not been met. and what i would like to get from you, for the record, there wouldn't be time now is will you support the product that the president talked about in order get the votes that he got for the new star treaty? in other words noting

of trimming the defense budget. this program is singular in terms of its cost overruns, delays, and the way it has been ured. its most effective attributes are not all of its radars and sensors and missiles and stealth technology and the ability to fight at supersonic speeds. it may well be the way it has been designed to evade budget cutters in washington. >> what is the difference between the f-35 and the f-22? >> the f-22 has had its share of technical troubles. that was supposed to be the high-end fighter. the replacement for the f-15. it is a real high performance fighter. it is meant to win against any potential adversary in dogfights. the plan was to have fewer f-22 and then you would have more of the f-35. that would be the mainstay, for the next 40 or 50 years. a you are fighting against sophisticated adve the f- 22s are going in and they are fighting in the air against the adversaries of combat aircraft. the f-35s comes in and they are carrying the bombs that will take out the other military targets. they a

the trial continues. of course, jodi arias testified she killed her ex in self-defense. e remembers the shooting part but can't remember stabbing him, not once or ten times or 7 times and doesn't remember taking the notify and slitting his throat open. adam houseley is in our newsroom. this is a surprise. reporter: a flurry of activity this morning, and as i was sitting down, the judge turned to the jury and said, you're going to be going out a different door, you're going to be guarded. we'll keep you away phloem front of the courthouse. we want you to neat a different yeah, insinuating they don't want them around the juror who has been dismissed or around the activity in front over the courthouse. the prosecutor has become somewhat of a local celebrity because he has been so aggressive on the case. so the judge is putting the jury in a totally new location, trying to keep them separate from all this activity. the defense team tried to say this reason for a mistrial, and it led to the dismissal or juror number five this morning. the court also said they won't give out th

he was the deputy secretary of defense, and he and mrs. perry came to korea where i was the c5j5 and i was assigned to escort them around. and i had a lot of those kinds of duties while i was assigned to korea. but it was the most pleasant experience i had and i say that honestly, to get to know these two people. and he then became our secretary of defense. and many of us that have served thought that he was one of the best secretary of defenses we've ever had. he's currently a senior fellow at the hoover institute and a freeman foley institute of international studies. he is the michael and barbara bavarian professor at stanford university and serves as co-director of the nuclear risk reduction initiative and preventive defense project. please help me welcome our speaker this morning, former secretary of defense william perry.

and then the defense counsel and the prosecuting counsel identify themselves. they say good morning, your honor. the judge then asked the defense counsel you have had an opportunity to speak with your client? the answer is very briefly your honor. then the judge says to the patient/defendant, so you have your lawyers here. the defendant nods affirmatively. then it's the judge. mr. tsarnaev, i am magistrate judge bowler. this hearing is your initial appearance before the court. we're here because you have been charged in a federal complaint. at this hearing i will advise you of your constitutional and legal rights. i will tell you about the charges against you and the penalties that the court could impose if you are found guilty. you have been charged with one use of a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death. the judge asks the prosecuting attorney what are the maximum penalties. the prosecutor tells her death or imprisonment for life or imprisonment for any term of years. and it's the judge again, speaking to the defe

joining us for more on the defense of this now-suspect who's in the hospital room is defense attorney. i want you to listen both on what governor deval patrick said about "meet the press" about the specific video i brought up last segment with the defense attorney about what the video shows the younger brother who was seen carrying a backpack and putting it down. again, this is the younger of the two brothers who is alive and in the hospital bed. and specifically what the governor said he has heard about with regard to video. have a listen. >> it does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off, put it down, did not react when the first explosion went off. and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion. so pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling frankly. >> so i want to be very clear again that the governor has not seen -- he says he hasn't seen the video himself but that he was briefed about the contents of the video. obviously this will become critical evidence. danny, i want you to weigh in on this also as a defense attorne

establishment, the entity that 25% of every income tax dollar goes to. today, secretary of defense hagel gave his first major speech since he assumed the post in february. his first opportunity after a very rocky confirmation process to lay out his grand vision for the pentagon, one that focused largely on promises of change. >> change that involves not just tweaking or chipping away at existing structures and practices, but where necessary, fashioning entirely new ones that are better suited to 21st century realities and challenges. deep political and institutional obstacles through necessary reforms will need to be engaged and overcome. >> former republican senator from nebraska was a leading critic of the iraq surge, spoke out forcibly about israel's bombing campaign against lebanon in 2006, and has worked, maybe more accurately had a penchant for speaking frankly about cuts to the pentagon. here's hagel in 2011. >> our defense department budget is not a jobs program, it's not an economical development program for my state or district. >> he's someone who could and would take on

meantime the final defense witness on the same day last thursday in that courtroom, alice vial let, defenseof days on the stand saying travis alexander was mental and physical abuser. they got to cross-exam inher. the defense rested the prosecution no time going absolutely aggressive at this witness. take a listen to this interaction. >> yes or no. my question are you talking, yes or no. >> mr. martinez, are you angry at me. >> ma'am, is that relevant to you. is that important to you? >> ladies and gentlemen and please refrain from laughing in the courtroom. >> is that important to you, whether or not the prosecutor is angry with regard to your evaluation? does that make any difference to your evaluation whether or not the prosecutor is angry, yes or no? >> reporter: quite fireworks in the courtroom, jenna. in the last 20 minutes. juror number five showing up. the prosecutor going absolutely aggressive at the defense witness. what you didn't hear and what had just begun when court ended we're hear more momentarily when the court started up they were debating snow white. apparently the final

budget, the news that the defense intelligence agency thinks north korea may have the ability to launch nuclear weapons from missiles and other defense issues. it's today at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> i really learned this week how humanizing politics is. it's about people that really interact and that we learn that we can do this, we're all capable of being leaders of our country, and it's about working together and founding common ground. >> before this program, i really wasn't all that optimistic about the future, because like he said, all the media shows is the negative aspects about the future, and i think this program really made us all more optimistic about the future and more positive about where our country is going. >> we get the negative opinion from all the news media, whether it's msnbc on the left or fox on the right. but the fact of the matter is every day they're working together. justice kagan is able to put aside her difference and go hunting with justice scalia. our senators eat lunch together, and it happens every single day. >> i feel l

defense. and we lost that fight. the administration cut missile defense. now with korea's latest a. they've reversed that. secretary hagel said no, we are going to move forward and put those missiles in the silos in alaska. i was happy to see that. i think we should have been moving forward on that back in 2009. one of the things that bothers me about all this is the president has more knowledge than any of us. and i think he knows what a crucial state we're in. not just korea. that's the one that's on the front page right now. but iran hasn't stopped. they keep talking and keep moving. the whole middle east. china is increasing their defense spending. we've got very -- i mean, syria, you know, these are things that are happening all around the world, and yet, the president sent us up a budget yesterday that cuts 100 -- well there, are different numbers. the number the secretary used, $150 billion more out of defense over the next nine years. and i think that at some point, we need to be very careful. what is the breaking point? when are we taking too much risk? and you know, his emp

can the defense team use that to avoid the death penalty? strategies the defense will want to follow here. one is as you suggest trying to figure out what the prosecution wants, what the government wants so you can negotiate a way out of the death penalty. what can you give? that's one general area. the other area is they have to investigate their client's life meticulously and completely. they have to be able to tell a story about their client, about why he was led so wrong. so if this ever goes to a jury, the jury will be able to say, you know what? no death penalty for this guy. >> judy clark has defended notorious criminals and avoided the death penalty for them before. does this tell us anything about how the defense team is approaching the case? is this now a priority, a top priority just keeping him alive? >> jake, i cannot tell you what a legend judy clark is in the united states legal system. this woman is widely regarded as a miracle worker. you listed three of the cases. the unabomber, eric rudolph from the atlanta olympics. there

i get back to the po nie t, offering not a single defense witness is a roll of the dice. don't see how it works. >> what is the potential punishment? >> death penalty and then on some of the counts he is looking at life. but this is a death qualified jury. they were not allowed to sit on this jury unless they had no problem with evaluating the evidence and imposing the death penalty. eric, can i get your response? this is one of the reporters there from day one and what he had to say on huck uh be about the impact of this trial. >> you can't sit there week after week and day after day and listen to that testimony and not be changed. >> there is one journalist sitting in that courtroom who writes for a local publication who has told me that he is very liberal and very pro choice, but after sitting through the testimony at the gosnell trial, he has reconsidered and he changed his mind. >> and he is from the cure yes, sir and he is very i'm -- informable. >> i am fairly certain that you speak for literally probably millions of people after hearing what goes on they may have

the defense resting. , how about this in context, big picture and the white house's choice to move forward with this speech. >> we've noted that the gosnell trial didn't receive very much coverage at first. now it's a big national story and a lot of people are paying attention to it. people are horrified, those that are pro life and pro choice. women, men, everybody. and this is an interesting choice. you know, last week the white house spokesman was asked about this and didn't have a statement ready, which was sort of -- you know, they knew it would be coming and they didn't have something to say. now speaking to planned parent 45 hood is particularly tricky since the head of the pennsylvania planned parenthood chapter conceded that, yes, people came to pennsylvania planned parenthood clinics complaining about the services provided at gosnell's clinics and planned parenthood did not follow through. they said you can write a letter to the department of health but they did not seek any inquiry into what was

>> well, the defense if the government seeks murder is fairly obvious.ly takes one member of the jury to oppose the death penalty and stand fast and it is life without parole. on the first stage it appears to me and i don't want to second guess other lawyers but it' appears there are three avenues open for the defense. first, is if there are others involved particularly if there is a foreign involvement then there is a basis to negotiate with the government that in return for the exchange of information the government will not seek the death penalty. number two you can always attack the government's evidence that it is inis sufficient or flawed or perhaps not admissible so you raise reasonable doubt. and then third if the government will not accept a plea agreement that you are satisfied with you can argue to the jury that there were others involved and it would be a mistake to execute the only man that knows fully about those others and may some day under some circumstances reveal them. i'm sure that the defense has other matters that i have not discuss

and many of us that have served thought that he was one of the best secretary of defenses we've ever had. he's currently a senior fellow at the hoover institute and a freeman foley institute of international studies. he is the michael and barbara bavarian professor at stanford university and serves as co-director of the nuclear risk reduction initiative and preventive defense project. please help me welcome our speaker this morning, former secretary of defense william perry.

what does the defense have to do prove that there is at least a questionable doubt whether or not anyf the babies were actually born with a heart beat? is that what he is looking for? >> with respect to the count of the babies to say that there is reasonable doubt as to whether or not the babies were born alive. so he he is going to from when i was in the courtroom with the medical examiner on the stand. he kept hammering the medical examiner saying you cannot say to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that those babies were born alive. you can't say it about baby a and b went through all of them. >> they were not viable. they did not take a breath, by the way that is not an appropriate legal way to even, you know, kill a baby. these aren't abortions. these were done outside this isn't the right way. the women were drugged, the babies were drugged. >> bob: can you imagine going home and explaining to your family why out there being a defense witness for this guy? that's a big part of it it. who in their right mind would. >> they will be cross-examined because some of the other te

kimberly has breaking news on the courtroom action next. >> kimberly: the defense rested its case in the trial of philadelphia doctor kermit gosnell today after calling no witnesses. closing arguments are set to begin monday and the jury could get the case as early as tuesday. meanwhile. yesterday judge jeffrey mine heart threw out three of the 8 murder counts against gosnell. so, eric, people were surprised that the judge did. this then we were examining perhaps some kind of evidence, some kind of witnesses to it be presented during the defense case. the defense attorney jack mcmahon rested didn't call dr. gosnell which i said he wouldn't. cross-examination. he couldn't get experts to testify on his client's behalf. >> what's his high water mark. what does the defense have to do prove that there is at least a questionable doubt whether or not any of the babies were actually born with a heart beat? is that what he is looking for? >> with respect to the count of the babies to say that there is reasonable doubt as to whether or not the babies were born alive. so he he is going to from w

the deputy ofy defense. todaym what i have heard in testimony we have talked ends of your department. we have the ways and means committee. serious mismatch between our ends and our ways and means? are we seeing that's? if there is, what is your analysis of what we need to do to airline those in ways? thank you for your earlier comments. in that question, i think you have really define the purpose of the review. down to yours come question. is there a match match? is there a disconnect? the expectations of our offense -- ends, is that distorted light from the beginning the way we're going to provide resources? that is very much the intent aside from the budget issues and prioritized and prior t researches. really gets to the ways and means. what do i expect to come out of this review? i do not see what we're going to do. i did not ask because i had the answer. i ask because i did not have the answers. i do not know what the answers are going to be here. i know enough about this business or any business that y

that's the word from the defense attorneys who again asked the judge to declare a mistrial. ey didn't get it it police say jodi areas stabbed her ex-boyfriend 27 times slit his throat and shot him. she testifies she did shoot him in self-defense but she can't remember all that stabbing. she remembers the shooting but not the stabbing. north the throat-slitting. the defense blames the prosecutor adding to the circus like prosecutor by yelling at nearly every witness. throwing things during testimony old rutgers style and posing for photos outside the court. so far the judge has not addressed this latest motion for a mistrial. she denied a similar motion last week after the defense said that a juror may have swayed her piers with comments during a closed door hearing. the judge did dismiss that juror. well, let's get an update on today's shenanigans. adam housley is with us. the defense's domestic violence expert is back on the stand and the prosecutor grilled her about jodi areas' truthfulness? >> yes, shepard. in fact they just finish 30 seconds ago for the day. he tried to m

>> i think it is definitely the defense. d want to get in, present my evidence and get out and get this case to the jury because the evidence is simply overwhelming that jodi arias committed this crime. the longer this drags out, the more they have these experts come on and talk about this. martinez needs to realize he will not get the knockout punch with these witnesses. laviolette, definitely is standing her ground. she is not giving in to him very much. he is not going to get the knockout punch. i agree with my colleague at some point he need to end the cross-examination and move the trial forward. rick: brian, a couple seconds, if you're on the defense side how are you feeling right now? >> i'm feeling pretty good, as the evidence stands right now i don't think juan martinez can prove first-degree murder. he hasn't proved beyond a reasonable doubt that this murder was premeditated. he needs a strong rebuttal and has to focus on the forensic and physical evidence. rick: buy and a faith, thank you both. >> thank you. jenna:

all of these factors play significant demands on the defense intelligence agency and the entire defenseenterprise. as stated above i believe the most -- threat of cyberattacks through the daily occurrences of threats or damaging a variety of levels and not only persistent and dangerous but likely have serious damage to our national security is very real. potential adversaries are increasingly more capable of conducting cyberoperations. cyberattacks remain an important and increasing transnational threat to the security of the united states with state actors such as china russia iran and north korea integrating theselii io thei intelligence gathering methods and warfare doctrine. malicious actors including terrorist organizations have also demonstrated awillingness and capability of cyberset means to attack u.s. interests. one final point with regard to cyberattacks that we need to keep in mind. behind these attacks are human beings and some are nonstate individuals, some are state sponsored network studies with increasing capabilities and harmful intentions to do damage to our national

the u.s. spends more on defense than the next 16 largest defense in the military -- in the world combined. this is true in fact and will not change much in the coming years. it is also worth noting most of the rest of the money the world spends on defense are countries that are allies of france and the united states. these levels of defense spending are reflection of the amount of responsibility that the u.s. and friends and allies share for providing peace and security. you may also wonder whether the sequester will change the facts and a significant way. it will not. here is why. intended tos never be implemented and is very disruptive, because it gives us very little managerial flexibility in where we take the budget adjustments that we have to take this year. wherever we have flexibility, we are favoring and protecting the rebalance. we continue to review and revise plans for escalope -- executing 2013 budget and the face of sequester, and also the face of this rich -- the increased cost of afghanistan campaign. back in january i gave direction about what is exempt from or protected fr

we do know the defense team asked for her to be dismissed and the judge obviously ruled in favor of the defense. we're curious to see once this is all done what exactly happened and what transpired to asked for her dismissal. shepard? >> shepard: adam housley tonight. adam, thanks. a gang of crooks launches a military style assault on an armored truck and in that truck millions of dollars. our top story as we go around the world in 80 seconds. italy, police say the armed robbers ambushed that truck busy highway using a tractor-trailer to slow traffic and large van to block the road. several men with heavy weapons jumped out of the van, opened fire and blasted open the armored truck with explosives. they set fire to the tractor-trailer and escaped in get away cars with some $13 million. nobody hurt. ukraine. rescuers pulled several people to safety as floods swamped homes north of the capital city of kiev. similar flooding has hit the center of neighboring russia where spring temperatures are smelt melting the winter snowfall. india. crews rescued a young leopard that it fallen into a we

and, you know, the defense has nothing to gain by trying to defend a death penalty case. at the end of the day, little doubt, the merits of this case that mr. holmes is cull basketball surrounding the shooting. the issue now that is joined is whether or not mr. holmes can raise a defense, a state of mind, insanity defense in the getting that he is in. it is a complex, difficult legal decision that i think this point overlooked, one would gather from the pleadings that have been filed in the case indeed mr. holmes is competent to make a decision to plead guilty. that in and of itself is an interesting issue. >> the charges leveled against him. the prosecution has a wealth of evidence from the scene on the site of the movie theater shooting, 12 people were killed. last wealth of evidence from that boobytrapped apartment that was not too far away where james holmes was living. if you had this case in your purview and holmes was your client is the best defense going down the line, doing away with that competence and going with insanity when it comes to the planning that went i
