the defense industry. doesn't always indians in the ok most that means as all but it's ok as long as you maintain clear boundaries and remain at arm's length with industry not too close but not too far either because the market isn't that large for me yet you also have to stay informed for example if there's a manufacturer where things didn't go well. but then you have to be clear about what's a sales event and when actual content is involved more that that's such as are difficult and subtle that's the core of the business relationship and you need to be able to have that exchange have to start about also told. this off if this. does this proximity between the german defense ministry the bundeswehr and german military contractors really only serve as a way to exchange information. or is a german government subsidizing the business deals of private industry. young from aachen from the german left party says the sale of german combat training technology is also problematic for security reasons. for exported t

the u.s. defense industry directly employs almost 2 million people across the united states, and most of these are high pay jobs. high-tech jobs. those individuals and the companies they work for -- some of those companies listed here behind me, represent a key part of american entrepreneurialship and innovation. they are helping to maintain the united states as the world leader in defense and aerospace sectors and ensuring our armed forces maintain their military edge. the transfer of defense articles and services happens under either foreign military sales or direct commercial sales. under the foreign military sales, the u.s. government manages the transfer of approximately about $40 million a year. that's in foreign military sales of defense equipment, mainly in the gulf region. under the direct commercial sales, the united states government provides regulatory approvals for more than $100 billion a year in sales of defense equipment, services, related manufacturing, technologies, all controlled un

we have the deputy secretary of defense. prior to assuming his current role, he worked for three decades in the aero space industry. as deputy secretary of defense, he supports secretary mattis' priority of improving readiness to expanding and strengthening alliances and partnerships as well as reforming how the defense department does business. he's an engineer with advanced degrees from m.i.t. he worked for the boeing company for some 30 years. he supervised my favorite science project. he personally wrote the recent d.o.d. report on smas and is known around the pentagon to have corporate leadership mentality to include coming in early, staying late, and doing whatever is necessary to get the job done. secretary shan han gets his work ethics from his father who served in the army in vietnam. his father then went on to serve in law enforcement for two decades. secretary shan han views his current job as an opportunity to give back to the country. ladies and gentlemen, with that introduction, please join me in welcoming 33rd

and really the department of defense as a whole under secretary mattis. and that is the restoration of the readiness of the force. when i returned to federal service, i'd been away from national security for a time. while i worked on it in the congress, i was president of a university in south dakota. so i was focused on inflicting calculous on young adults instead of studying national security things. one of the things -- there are a number of things that surprise me coming back to the service. one is the decline in readiness levels of our forces. so it was clear to me, as it is i think to most people in the pentagon, that restoring the readiness of the force had to be our number-one priority. this last spring, the chief of staff and i, general goldfein, asked a group of people from across the service to come together, about 50 people, they spent 6 weeks together in a windowless basement room of the pentagon looking at readiness, and not just in a superficial way but really doing a deep dive on readiness. what are we measuring to assess readiness? how do

area i spoke to w correspondent bantay hugo to who is in brussels where the nato defense ministers have been meeting and i started by asking him about the accusations against russia which haven't just been leveled by the netherlands' the old nato defense ministers tried to present a united front against the former cold war for russia here and especially the british had fresh allegations the british minister said russia is acting like a pariah state this is very strong language so rarely used to hear nato and so it shows that there's anger and frustration among the nato members with russia because these allegations are not new this is a string of actions russia that is outraging the nato allies and they also the british also say that russia is working with international hecho organizations and this is an orchestration attempt to undermine western democracies and international organizations so with the accusations and counter-accusations flying around it feels like there's not much room for dialogue how do you see this playing out. but the diplomatic relations between russia and the nato

the denominators are growing. gdp is growing faster than defense. and the overall federal budget is growing faster than defense. that is why they keep going down as a percentage. if you look at the fence and inflation in adjusted dollars you see a different picture. i've shunted two ways. what you see reported by dod, the blue line you see here, they adjust for inflation using their own deflator's. i don't like their deflator's because what they end up doing is the count a lot of the growth and labor costs as inflation. they counted as price growth it's actually cost growth. if you do the omb, cbo, rest of the federal government they'll use the price index to adjust for inflation, it's a neutral measure of inflation in the overall economy. it is what it dollars worth. if you use that measure of inflation you see the red line, a similar trend but the farther back you go in history, the greater the difference you see. between the two measures of inflation. i get questions from you periodically, different ones of you, about why my inflation adjusted numbers way back in time don't match up to what's in the green boo

the german ministry of defense responded to our inquiry in writing. it said the commissioning of private service providers takes place outside the area of core military capabilities i.e. particularly in the air. area of logistical and technical support for this reason it does not fall under the scope of the constitutionally established parliamentary oversight. board the bundeswehr defines its core military mission in afghanistan as reconnaissance surveillance security evacuation and the training of local security forces. in the case of laundry and fuel services it's easy to distinguish between civilian and military duties. but what about when the contractor is a weapons manufacturer. house muff i.v. kman is a german based defense company that specializes in ahmed vehicles it's also well parade's repair facility in mazar e sharif. has been on what we're going to do and they have contracts with various companies there are hardly any military service staff here anymore i was in on my nose duties of all been handed over to private industry. i was part from

the offensive. we cannot simply play defense. no sport in the world, competitive sport in the world can just lay defense and win. this is not an area we want to be second-place in. make her thatould first we are going to need some it conceptould call of how we are going to conduct ourselves in space, all of us, internationally. then we will have to recognize if nations are not willing to live by those rules such as we have seen on this planet -- here below, we will have to have the ability to defend and the ability to do offense. he president has been clear wants to organize accordingly. what we will do is put together a command that can compete in space on whatever level and adversary wants to compete, chooses to compete, and then we will ensure we go to congress with how we believe how we can best organize not for bureaucracy but for the capabilities of president and vice president rightly so we don't surrender what we do in space using space for commerce or navigation or anything else. it is critical to the economy, our way of

you see in the defense authorization act. ensethe authorization and appropriation started on the first of october. no continuing resolution. no sequester with a significant increase in the budget to be able to get through the force. that passed with 87 votes. the shortage of pilots for all sorts of reasons. what is the way to get past that? shortagee a national of aircrew and pilots. the airlines -- airlines are highly -- the airlines are hiring pretty come to the air force because we train them well. we don't want to be the only source of pilots. we have a national problem. trying to deal with the faa to seal how we can field that pipeline. for the air force there is a couple of things. one is retention. how we pay and how we improve the quality of service and quality of life so that no one in their right mind would want to leave the united states air force. we are increasing the number of pilots we are training. >> the president has said he wants space force. what is space force question mark >> i am aligned with the preside

the defense had one more very significant witness. a witness who oozed credibility. boring san bernardino county, who stuck his neck way out to disagree publicly, in a court of law, with the medical examiner from riverside. >> he found this to be an accidental death, not a homicide. >> this was not some ordinary hired gun. this was a public official who said straight out that cristi's head injuries could and perhaps should be explained by an accidental fall. he didn't rule out homicide? >> he didn't rule out homicide. but he said the preponderance of the evidence was towards an accidental drowning. what -- i have always been astounded by with this case is that the hall family lived so close to the san bernardino border, if cristi had slipped and fell four or five blocks over, the pathologist in that county would never have filed criminal charges. an accident of geography. >> so now a second jury would sort through these two sets of allegations, these two opposing realities. and decide whether chris hall would turn and embrace home and his loving daughters a pair of ha
