and this is just the beginning. many nations agree the world training system is in dire need of change. for example countries were admitted to the wto to violate every single principle on which the organization is based. while the united states and many other nations play by the rules we run industrial planning and to rig the system , they engage with technology transfers and the depth of intellectual property. united states lost over 3 million manufacturing jobs and 60000 factories. we have racked up $13 trillion in trade deficits over the last two decades. but those days are over. we will no longer tolerate such abuse or allow our workers to be victimized. our companies to be cheated , and our wealth to be plundered and transferred. america will never apologize for protecting its citizens. the united states has just announced tariffs on another $200 billion of chinese made goods. the total so far of $250 billion. we have great affection for my friend president t16 but the trade imbalance is not acceptable. the way they deal ca

pose heroic -- nation's heroic dead on the slopes of arlington national cemetery. ition that never dies. for john joseph pershing, general of the army, like others before him in the long line of american giants, rose to leadership and met its challenges at precisely the moment his country needed him, so that the destiny of the two, man and nation, were part of the same momentous adventure. his mission was to create an army and he did, a mighty army, without which the great war could not have been won. and at the same time, an army cast in the unique american mold, a forerunner of the superbly skilled and powerful force which is today's modern army. in the doing, he handed down a tradition of military pride. but more than anything else, he touched a strain of glory in his people and perhaps more than any man of his time, he awakened them to a new vision of their greatness. ♪ send the word, said the word, over there the yanks are coming prayer, senday a the word, send the word, to where, will not be over, coming over, and we will not the back until it is over there ♪

this is just the beginning. many nations in this hall will agree that the world trading system is in dire need of change. for example, countries were admitted to the world trade organization that violates every single principle on which the organization is based. while the united states and many other nations play by the rules, these countries use government-run industrial planning and state-owned enterprises to rig the system in their favor. they engaged in relentless roduct dumping, forced technology transfer and the theft of intellectual property. the united states lost over three million manufacturing jobs, nearly a quarter of all steel jobs, and 60,000 factories after china joined the w.t.o. we have racked up $13 trillion in trade deficits over the last two decades. those days are over. we will no longer tolerate such abuse. we will not allow our workers to be victimized, our companies to be cheated and our wealth to be plundered and transferred. america will never apologize for protecting its citizens. the united state

so this attack is attacking all the nations who believe in the i.c.c. as an organization that is capable of bringing justice forward so it's also another contradiction because he talks about the rule of law and at the same time he attacks the international criminal court and you know it so i'm not sure that his speech on a on an ideological level on a strategic level holds all together it has a lot of contradictions and weaknesses although i think that it's not his concern he was more concerned with his you know he's more i think he needs a populist approach more of you know the last part of his speech i think was directed to the american people more than the international community we're going to have to leave it there but really get it'll be fascinating to see the reaction as it comes into what we just heard over the last hour say that the security and political and it's going to be an editor of the weekly in beirut in lebanon thank you. ok well another man who was listening to all of that was our correspondent in new york and he joins us now. quite a

the united nations has warned an all out onslaught on it leap will endanger the lives of three million civilians trapped in the province one million of them children. the special envoy for syria has spelled out to the security council what it could mean we have been hearing it during this last few days we are all terribly concerned they are all in great that exist poor a perfect storm which in chile diverse thinking human concert with other consequences as well the syrian refugees and activists have been staging weekly demonstrations outside the u.n. headquarters in geneva they say it's intolerable talks of a new constitution are taking place while bombs are falling on. to the united nation says if you are not doing anything just talking without action we heard kill my brother. i lost my son. i lost my country. the u.n. special envoy to syria said in terms of real politic they realize that plans could be overturned by the escalating conflict. but that no political process should be held hostage by anything aid organizations say in recent days three hospitals have been attacked one of t

the league of nations, which was founded after the war, was immediately replaced by the united nations. in the aftermath of the second world war. nationsdly, the united over its 73 years of history has carried out enormous endeavors at accomplishing many achievements of a great extent. however, it is always a fact that we need to admit that in time, the u.n. moved away from the capacity to meet the expectations of humanity for peace and welfare. in particular, the security council has taken such a form that it started serving the interests of its five permanent seat holders of the security council but standing idle to the oppressions in the other parts of the world. the massacres in bosnia, rwanda, have all takenr, place before the eyes of the un security council. those who remain silent against the oppression of the are only increasing the courage of the oppressors. even if the whole world turns its back, we will continue to be on the side of the oppressed palestinians and will protect a historical and legal status of our first which is jerusalem. in many parts of the world, every day

many times that the united nations has unlimited potential. as part of our reform effort i have told our negotiators that the united states will not pay more than twenty five percent of the un peacekeeping budget this will encourage other countries to step up get involved and also share in this very large bird. and we are working to shift more of our funding from assessed contributions to voluntary so that we can target american resources to the programs with the best record of success only when each of us does our part and contributes our share. can we realize the un's highest as parade is. we must pursue peace without fear hope without despair and security without apology looking around this hall where so much history has transpired. we think of the many before us who have come here to address the challenges of their nations and of their times and their thoughts turn to the same question that ran through all their speeches and resolutions through every word and every hope. it is the question of what kind of world will we leave for our childre

hello and welcome to worlds apart when the united nations was founded it was meant to serve as a forum for conversation and conciliation gets you in into a meeting of the security council and what you'll often see is not throw bost well mannered debate but rather accusations and allegations by diplomats just postering for the cameras or is discourse at the un really as dysfunctional as it appears well to discuss that i'm now joined by medicine a flight check the president of the united nations general assembly for this seventy second session mr president it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for having me and good morning from new york now your term is about to answer within the next couple of days and about a year ago when you just assumed your duties you said in an interview that one of your ambitions for this tenure is going to be overcoming narrow national interest do you think you have succeeded in that. well i feel very strongly about united nations and about the general assembly being the most representative platform and the fact is that we have

does the national party maintain confidence in the liberal national coalition government? > senator? >> order. >> we do. e do for a very good reason, mr. president. we do because it is the coalition government that will ensure that the australian people -- and that is what we're all for. doesn't matter what area of this program -- you believe in making this a better place for australia. well, i can tell you any alternative to the national liberal coalition will be bad for this country. can you imagine raising taxes by more than $2 billion? because that's what the alternative is going to do. $2 billion. going down the tube. >> order. > talk about those are the things that people are concerned about. what about our borders? what about -- the last time they promised that will never happen. >> order. >> how many -- are arriving today? none the year before that. >> order. >> that time of misery -- the policy driven by the fundamentalist ideology of the green is something that the australian people will -- sensible and concerned government like the national liberal coalition. > o

i have a legacy to carry on for the national park service. we have a lot of traditions we are interested in upholding that we care for, and i also have to forge my own path as the first african-american and first woman. what would that be, what would that look like? right now, i do not know if there will be a lot of significant changes, but maybe a difference in perspective and style as i go about it. in what way? being an african-american and a woman, i have perspective which lends itself to a different lens, interests, most chief historians prior to me were military historians, and i am more of a social historian. so occupational training and personal experience, it gives me a different lens. you're also one of the youngest persons to have ever been given this job. how is that going to change the work you do going forward? i think we will look more toward technology in terms of how we go about doing our research, but also presenting the research to the public and how we communicate with others. more looking toward bringing new generations to

the national enquirer is found right at the checkout line the cover of the national enquirer is seen by millions and millions of people who are low information voters who don't even need to buy the magazine and they read their headline and they think at least a lot of them do that is at least credible if not totally or real that's something you literally cannot purchase it was very obvious that. quire through donald trump's friendship with david pecker was an arm of the trump campaign in fact they were doing things that the campaign would never dream of trying to get away with. the national enquirer is also where stories go to die when those stories are potentially damaging to donald trump in august of two thousand and sixteen just months before the election the enquirer paid a former playboy model karen mcdougal one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for her story of an affair with trump the agreement stipulated that mcdougal could not tell her story to anyone else but the enquirer never published it caught the story then effectively killed it and the paper did the same with a story

the national park service agreeing. across presidential administrations and since the creation of the seashore and the ggnra, the park service has consistently supported continuation of the ranching heritage in these areas. today congress is reaffirming long-standing policy and decades of diligent effort by the park service. we're also making gooden a commitment interior secretary salazar made in november of 2012 to provide long-term assurances for these ranches and dairies. he specifically directed the park service to proceed with extend 20g-year permits consistent with applicable laws and planning processes. toward that same end, this bill directs the issuance of 20-year leases an permits after completion by the park service of a robust general management plan update process including public engagement and environmental review under the national environmental policy act which must include compliance with the endangered species act and any other environmental reviews. through this planning and environmental review proce

i love the national park service. i do not think it will be short-term. >> when it is over, how will you measure your success? ms. lowe: if i have provided tools and resources for the historians that are operating in the national park service to do their work, to do exciting research, to do public education. if a child comes to me and says, i was inspired to do historic preservation or public history because i saw you as an african-american child or women and child in this position, that would be a wonderful legacy for me to have. either of those, or both. >> turkiya lowe, thank you for your time. ms. lowe: thank you. weekend, wehis feature flagstaff, arizona where we traveled to see its historic sites. located 80 miles south of the grand canyon, it rests within the world's largest continuous ponderosa pine forest. learn more about flagstaff all weekend here on american history tv. >> we are at desert view, the eastern end of the grand canyon and it's called desert view because you are looking out into the painted dese

idea of the old school sovereign nation states and which belongs in the past in the. truth is that it has no provision for the nation as part of a community. i think in mind nation states exist and we still need a bike of its components of a united europe and they have the same problem as the e.u. . can quickly impede finding a political direction. and that direction should be given by the nations that already exist and yes it's completely unrealistic to imagine that traditional nations can just dissolve like sugar and caffeine. in. its fullest but this is nothing but that was a left wing notion well there are some voices within the broader left wing movement to that effect that they don't but it's never been advocated by the left as a whole going to give you that you can demand so if i've understood you correctly nations and internationalism or national feeling and international orientation are not necessarily contradictory. that's not at all contradictory to what it was actually part of the social democratic tradition social democra

ambassador to the united nations they'll be in the u.s. seats as president trump comes to the podium any moment now maria espinosa was saying in the live pictures she is the current president of the general assembly taking that job just one week ago it really is a very tough job perhaps to saw her talking about the job about twenty four hours ago on al-jazeera it really is very quick that you come in to this job in one week later you are presiding over every single world leader president trump sits in that chair and then maria espinosa the president the general assembly formally introduces him and as you see he's rising to his feet to give his speech. madam president mr secretary general world leaders ambassadors and distinguished delegates one year ago i stood before you. for the first time in this grand hall i addressed it threats facing our world. and i presented a vision to achieve a brighter future for all of humanity. today i stand before the united nations general assembly to share the extraordinary progress we've made. in less than

the air force meets the threats we face as a nation with our most basic unit, the squadron. operational squadrons are the combat power of air force, they are the clenched fist of american resolve. today we have 312 operational squadrons. 142nd fighter squadron in portland, oregon is sitting alert this morning, ready to intercept any aircraft that threatens america's northwest. the rough riders of the 745th strategic missile squadron are maintaining our nation's nuclear deterrent at the air force base in north dakota today. the 36th airlift squadron at dakota air force base is provide forward-based tactical airlift in japan and throughout the pacific. some of you who are not in one of these operational squadrons may be asking yourselves, what's your role? what about you? let me tell you something, i'm not on that chart. general goldstein is not on that chart. in fact, not a single general officer in the united states air force is on that chart. it takes all of us to get that combat power ready and able to fight. a fist is nothing without the weight of the body behind it. the

report to the nation about the national mobilization for production. all of this he was doing within this very touchy political framework that he was doing perhaps propaganda for bureaucracy. by now, ndac is employing 5000 people. doi was a couple hundred people but was growing fast. in fact, doi leader in early 1941 was putting out so many press releases. since i've decided on such a contract that the newsroom became a 24/7 operation. now, to us, 24/7 is like going to bbq. but a press office from a news release office open 24/7 gives you a sense of the thousands of press releases that he was releasing coming at all times a day or night, weekdays and weekends. it was a gusher of information that he was doing. he wasn't just doing press releases. he started doing posters and banners and signs and photos and live radio network shows. touch that he sent to smaller radio stations to run at their own convenience. layouts for newspapers. newspapers especially the police, often prepackaged information does not advertise in, but they could fill part of the iss

to nationalism actually surface later on when not me reminded. us in. some part of the no no we're going to know your calling us politics a policy of conciliation and domestic and foreign policies of a divided nation that's not true and was anchored in a particular notion of national identity on mine. the question is how it's approached the nation is a community event by consciousness feeling and communication this is a reality like the nation state and it's all about the approach this autumn i want to the approach be social democracy should be linked back to ideas the ideas of democracy and social justice. and this would not at all be artificial but connected to the historical realities that already played a role one hundred fifty years ago but probably not complete. before it was an idea of a fraternal league of nations instead of one nation pitted against another this was also a clear aspect of your father's attitude to reunification which many on the left feared would herald a return to nationalism at least most because he doesn't nation have to be dissolved in orde

in the national news did also. complied with the mandate because we see that the attorney general is not reacting and she should have already started an investigation against the president and the president should be in jail right now so it depends on what to do shoes do and he's also been most traits that their national if you will not do anything in order to fight corruption. is not to the point. i think i'd just like to say that you know back in two thousand and fifteen jury the massive protests the street demonstrations that there were which eventually led to the downfall the street demonstrators were sort of working together which it clearly. from the east as well you know i know that they were really instrumental in bringing those street demonstrations together and there was fifty sixty thousand people down at the plaza the central plaza what i call a city every second weekend there was a huge number of people from what i've seen over the past couple of weeks although there this is a very critical moment in gu

our case hashim the emir there taking a more non-confrontational part he didn't name any of the blockading nations and more decided to talk about the g.c.c. as a whole and the effect it's had on those six nations and did come out this was an interesting statement by the emir of qatar basically this was his second speech of the un since the start of the two thousand and seventeen aquinas's he's been blasting the be gentle order saying that how come we're facing one of the biggest crises in the region and the g.c.c. which is a gathering of six nations that has the potential that has a legislature and that has been formed to try to referee spots among. neighbors has failed to do so a warning. about further instability in the region describing the blockade imposed by saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain as a violation of international law the emir reiterated the position of his going to which is that the how the manes positively responsive to any push by the international community to broker a dialogue among the feuding countries to try to set aside their differences and solve the problem how. hi

, revisiting what the nation looks like. when i think about the teenagers walking down the street, what do they know about history? what does it mean if they acknowledge george washington as black? what may that mean in 20 years time? it is too early to tell, but that is an interesting and powerful question. hamilton offers both those who owned the narrative and who have been excluded a place in america's foundational story. and i would argue this is an even more urgent project in our current political climate, when we have witnessed a resurgence of white identity politics. of course it is fair to question whether national belonging and an expanded vision of who owns this nation and its stories can art that imagines the founders as nonwhite. hamilton's broad popularity, especially among young people, is a hopeful sign of how hungry many americans are for a more inclusive origin story that not only celebrates america's racial diversity as part of its genius, but also portrays people of color as equal and full members of the na

that seems to be the center of our nation. on one hand, democracy, freedom, all of these things, we have this vast experience to do anything. yet the sphere of can we really let these millions of people do whatever they want, have whatever conversation in one? i don't know. it is a real question for us as a nation where we go at this particular moment. hamilton thought of the new york post in 1801 as an anti-jefferson vehicle. in doing that, he was bending the newspaper, which up until that point, had been largely a mercantile business. was an earlyhe pioneer of media manipulation. for the spurrallel of the question is andrew jackson, and the birth of the penny press. the birth of a partisan press, which jackson exploited fully and generated enormous anxiety cut through a washington establishment as he intended to do. just to finish the point and bring it back, the moral of the story is the most gifted people are those who can find audiences and mobilize people you didn't know existed as a community. donald trump is a media gen
