the u.s. navy needs to significantly improve the surface warfare pipeline to ensure navy officers are provided basic navigation and engineering skills. finally asked to correcting material issue, i think it is time to start to take our insert process seriously and correct the material problems facing the deployed naval forces. the statutorily driven process that provides congress and our nation a sfap shot of the material condition of the fleet. i am concerned that it fails to provide our nation a reasonable perspective of the negative consequences associated with underfunding the readiness accounts. navys should be prepared to publicly articulate the surface ship maintenance and we need to ensure that deployed navy forces are maintained with the forces that maintain the fleet. it is time that we routinely deploy ships that have been deployed for over 20 years. we have significant challenges that face the surface forces, but with time and resolve i am confident that we can right the surface forces

we have agreements with the navy to guard against or to protect our interests in the event that the navy either is unable to or elects not to pursue the work sufficient to secure a free release from california department of public health. and under the edcoma, we're not required to take any land from the navy that does not have free release. so essentially, failure to achieve that would be a reopener of the conveyance agreement with the navy. secondarily, the edcoma contains provisions that if they're not able to accrue free release of site 12 since a portion of the residential area is intended to be constructed in a portion of site 12, that we could actually reconfigure the program to relocate housing that would otherwise have been located within site 12 to the area on the east side of the island that's currently proposed to be sports fields. that would trigger -- there would be some additional supplemental environmental work. under the edcoma, is navy would be required to compensate tida for those costs. however, that would be a significant impact to the city. so what our interests are

the navy today. officials have decided to retest the hunter's point shipyard in san francisco for radiation. that's because the contractor it hired to get rid of contamination at the super fund site may have faked the clean-up. >> we've been breaking news on the scandal for four years now. liz wagner joins us with the new developments involving this land. slated for park, shops and even homes, liz. >> the navy confirms nearly half the clean-up is in question. we've already exposed allegations after fraud by former workers and uncovered an incertainly report showing the company at the center of the scandal cheated on part of the clean-up. navy officials just finished reviewing all of the clean-up record and now admitting it's worse than they thought. >> i think the extent is greater than we anticipated definitely. navy official derek robinson is in charge of the clean-up at the shipyard. he says the year long review found nearly half of the radiation data showed inconsistencies, and that a good portion

both for the army and the navy . so there are various individuals who were politicians or in the continental congress or army or navy who believed that academies were really important institutions to establish or military effectiveness during the revolution. so i would say probably the most notable proponents would be henry knox with george washington's chief of artillery in the continental army. he was in favor of establishing a military academy to draw up a plan for that. on the navy side it would be john paul jones was considered a father of the american navy, a great naval hero coming out of the revolutionary war. owns himself advocated establishing naval academies on american shipyards during the revolutionary war to educate the officers of the navy. on the politician side, john adams was very much an early advocate of academies for both the army and the navy so the idea goesback to the country's founding . >> military academy built in america was the united states military academy in west point. west point was a

. >> established in 1884, the naval war college is the home of the u.s. navy. join us as we learn more about it in the history of the navy in newport. >> here at the center of american maritime history in newport, rhode island, it is one of the deepest natural in closed ports in the world. for that reason the united states navy chose it as one of its key anchorages during the prime of american naval seapower in the early 20th century. arguably the origins of the naval war college began. the germans were ahead of the game, literally, in techniques of wargaming. during the wars of german unification, they came up with an idea called the general staff. the general staff was an organization that enabled all the different principalities to fall in line with their regiments under this centralized organization called the general staff. there was a guy named emory upton, a greater general. he said look at what the germans did with that general staff. he went over to germany and studied the german methods. he brought them back. upton basically made the argument what we n

the u.s. navy issued the comprehensive review of the recent incidents at sea that have occurred within the last year, almost all obviously forward in the western pacific. one aegis cruise hear the grounded. another that was involved in a collision with a chinese ship. and two arly burke destroyers that collided with large merchant ships that resulted in a loss of life. 17 total sailors. that comprehensive review was conducted over the past -- well, it took about 60 days and was reported out approximately 30 days ago and presented. and we thought we would invite a few folks in here today to talk about the extent of it, the adequacy of it, and perhaps the meaning of it. we've invited three experienced surface warfare officers who have had command and major command at sea. three individuals who have stayed close to the profession either through their government activities or through their commercial activities. but they have stayed close to the profession. and finally, each of our three panelists toda

i guess you have the t second problem with this that is not the u.s. navy. ou have to get the russians permission probably, and there are nukes down there. does anyone even know what the safety precautions are, if you like bouncing around the wreck, i guess you don't want to run into the wreck anyway. i assume that's part of it. that can also help you. you don't get tangled up in it. >> 's the said three nuclear ballistic missiles on it. they did recover to nuclear torpedoes, something we didn't even know they had at that point. there is a rumor they went back using different equipment later and recover the warheads but that's never been confirmed. >> they did a project with a detonated 50 or more h bombs and tested it for radiation per they said the water around it was fine but if you touched the wreckage it was still radioactive. >> they detonated them at the bottom. >> atmospheric detonations, the bikini hole, they set off h bombs with world war ii ships. you can see a funnel cloud and a ship vertical that gets lifted up and in the foreground there are the

the idea was to get people in those interior states excited about their navy. for the purpose of defending the interests of the nation on the high seas, as a show of what the potential might be for this "navy second to none," they staged the voyage that circumnavigated -- the circumnavigation of the great white fleet. they went around the world showing the american flag and all the ports, the key ports around the world. everyone was very impressed by the ships. so, as a european powers model their way into the first world their way into the first world war the fall of 1914, the united states decided to remain neutral. largely because president woodrow wilson developed a strategy of neutrality. group off 1916, a agents working for the german ministry actually conducted an attack, a terrorist attack in new york city. they threw some explosives into the naval arsenal facility at black tom island. it created an earthquake under the city of new york. is actually caused damage to the statue of liberty. just a few months later after that attack, as the government was t

the navy expects to roll out the work plan next month. the company declined to comment referring us to the navy. >> thank you. >>> tonight in san jose, the city it is trying to settle a three-ton controversy. activists are urging city council members are asking to have this statue moved out of city hall. but activists say columbus is symbolic with oppression. a third alternative would be to putting into storage. by the way, it's so heavy moving it anywhere will cost an estimated $is it li 12,000. >> a major project is given the green light to kin, dweflt in santa clara, the 46 acre site near great america and levi stadium. the site was formerly owned by yaw shoe now by a clienz developer plans to billed a mixed use development zriebtd as an urban village. they plan to allow them to move forward with the plan to billed here. now take a look it include as 50 story office tower here and a bunch of residential towers that could hold about 6,000 apartments. the project also includes a hotel, locate the here, and more than 3 million square feet

i believe the navy has a vital role to play in fielding cps. do you see that as a priority for the department? and if so, why? >> yes, i see it as a priority. in fact, there are two key programs going on right now, one at darpa and one within osd that are moving along so i would be more than happy to come and have the technical lead to brief you on those. >> i was going to say, if you could provide us an update where you are with this effort. >> yes. >> senator, can i add one thing to that? >> sure, absolutely. >> on the hypersonics, there are two demonstrators where the air force and i believe the navy as well are working with darpa and it's a prototyping experimentation effort that is -- we're using the authorities that you all gave us for experimentation and testing so we didn't wait for extensive requirements kinds of things. we're moving forward on an experiment for hypersonics, and it was through the authorities you gave us. >> thank you. secretary guerts, i want to ask you about the role our defense labs play in the acquisition process. i

that's the navy secretary because of what you have done. this is no way to conduct the nation's business. republicans know it, democrats know it, the american people know that this party is not capable of governing. so where do we go from here? i believe many of my republican colleagues sincerely want to get a deal. i know their hearts are in the right place. i know they lament the fact that we now accept brinkmanship where bipartisanship used to be. in the past, there was always discussions on these issues. everyone knew in the senate you needed both parties to work together. none of that happened here today. now, all this problem is because republican leadership can't get to yes because president trump refuses to. mr. president, president trump, if you are listening, i am urging you, please take yes for an answer. the way things went today, the way you turned from a bipartisan deal, it's almost as if you were rooting for a shutdown, and now we'll have one, and the blame should crash entirely on president trump's shoulders. this -- this wil

as it can be.e the secretary of the navy had similar words. about transportation. it is about education. it is about all of our meetings of the american people. the republicans do not want to invest in a domestic agenda. they are using the kids as an excuse. they are using children of chip as an excuse. using the children of the dreamers as an excuse. not to address the fiscal discussion that we must have. let me just say this. we do not want a shutdown. and we have made that clear all along the way. now, if we are going to have negotiations while our government runs, the question is, who are we open to serve? are we open to serve the veterans? i don't know how many of my colleagues have the 80 hospitals v.a.r districts -- hospitals in our districts. i have two. these people have made significant sacrifices. not funding the programs they need to fill out their goals. let's address these issues, the children. the children of the health insurance program. the fact of the matter is, they thesefusing to fund hospitals. where these children have to go to get their care.

this isn't the first time tetratech misled the navy. officials caught tetratech mishandling soil samples and falsifying data in separate locations. this came to light through a public records request filed by the group green action. green action filed another petition today citing new revelations of potential fraud. now this report is a draft report and the navy says it doesn't comment on draft documents. but officials have promised to sit down with us later this month to explain the full results of its investigation. tetra tech did not respond to our requests for comment, but of course we'll stay on top of this story. >>> well, she planned the escape for two years. the disturbing details we're learning about the teenager who set her 12 siblings free. >>> a 4-year-old girl has been killed and her younger sister on life support, a bay area family ripped apart by a man allegedly on the run from police. >>> right now we're watching a rain soaked commute around em y emeryvil emeryville. how much of this will carry through friday and the week

the retreat today though is known as camp david. it's a navy facility why? it's a needy facility because when roosevelt took the sailorsoften got and they went with him , to be the stewards and caretakers and he got some readings in washington dc to guard, that's where the us navy department and heritage. >> the command reports the white house military office in the east wing of the white house they support the president moving him around the world that includes air force one, marine one , camp david, white house communication agency, white house transportation agency, white house mess and medical unit, special programs, etc. these are the uniformed personnel, civilian men and women, over 2000 of whom support the president. behind the scenes, moving him around wherever he goes, whoever he engages with. the navy has camp david but it's appropriate budget line in us navy appropriations is to maintain david but we know it as camp lejeune why? meeting president roosevelt with president truman, not greatly and ever with david in florida, this is successor presiden

the last nine crs have cost the navy, in the neighborhood of $4 billion. that's not opportunity lost. that's putting $4 billion in a trashcan, putting lighter fluid on it and burning it. that's exactly, this is the symbiotic relationship we have to have with the industrial base. that's a tough environment to work in when we think we can turn a switch on and off to build a ship or to fund a project. the whipsaw effect let alone what happened to the pentagon delivery schedule and cost of dollars, it trickles down to our supply chain and our suppliers. in a magnified manner. >> if i might expand on that. the returns of the defense industry very good. this is a great business. it's not a question of not investing in a because of their current returns. it's a question of if i invested it is a going to drive more revenue in the future and with sequestration you don't get there. with oco funding requirement you don't get there. that's the hesitancy to invest. you said mike is in the middle between customer and investor and that's not exactly true because we are o

that's the super fun site. navy officials saying half the clean-up there is in question after they found the company at the center of it faked some of the results. >> liz wagner joins us now with the new developments. >> they spent the last year looking at data. the officials say about 50% of the data shows inconsistencies. that a good portion of it is likely fraudulent. it was once home the a radiological dispense lab but is set to be one of the largest redevelopment projects ever. they spent at least 12 years and $300 million in taxpayer dollars cleaning tim shipyard. the navy says a lot of it may have been falsified. that means parts of it may still be contaminated and radioactive. >> at this point, is the shaft of the shipyard in question? >> we have to make sure it is safe before that. >> right now the navy doesn't know if hunter's point is safe. >> the navy plans to retest all the land where tetra tech did the work that will lead to more clean-up. these developments were prompted by former workers. they came f

the media hammering president trump's position. navy rear admiral hammering him over his health. this as the mainstream media continues to push the narrative that the president is mentally unfit for office. >> does the president wear dentures. are you ruling out early onset alzheimer's? >> is there anything you are keeping from us for privacy reasons? >> his weight is 239, just shy of obesity. >> where the president appeared to slur his words while giving an address, did you look into what the cause of that might have been? charles: dr. jackson just kept doubling and tripling down on the fact that in trump is in excellent health. joining me. tammy bruce, and stephanie, let me start with you. the one-star admiral. i have got to tell you, they seemed so dejected that apparently mr. trump is in amazing physical condition and has all his mental faculties. >> it was absurd what the reporters were asking. they would never have asked president 44 these questions. we know he minneapolis excellent health. he needs to lose a few pounds. they want him to lose between 10-15 pounds. mr. trump

so the group the cajun navy gets the credit. especially with hurricane harvey. and after katrina and i love the name the cajun navy. because they have attention. if you need help get on. so those thousands of people coming from texas. so then they find and then they emerge from the bottom up. but that was just a communication tool. with those management efforts. >> is this an example of new technology to supplement so in prior disasters or hurricanes to have this technology available so people could have that instant communication because only the organization have that traditional walkie-talkie type of device now everybody communicates with everybody else. >> there is some overlap how do these public agencies to have the rule of law work better with a huge number of volunteers? but disaster recovery with a hand out radios that cost thousands or protocols for who can use them if you have a radio you are special. and so that command structure created around that. so another example like puerto rico. now everybody has a radio. and to take advantage of the infrastr

the navy is still sailing and the air force is still flying.he essential operations of the pentagon are ongoing despite the fact that the senate can't get its act together? >> the essential operations are ongoing. that includes security, counterterror. the troops overseas in harm's way. the one thing we will see if this is to continue on for a matter of days or longer, secretary of defense jim mat his is a retired general. if there is anyone who is going to continue to make sure that the war fight, the individuals who are forward deployed, that they get everything they need, it's jim mattis. i feel very comfortable of that. where we will see this back home, and other places overseas as well, not necessarily in a combat zone. but this means that training is canceled. maintenance can be canceled if you have civilian maintainers. it is what the military calls the second and third order effects that will have the impact. those individuals who are forward, in afghanistan, in iraq, in syria, in combat zones and africa, they will continue -- secretary

life is too long could be seen as autobiographical the hero is a film director and dani levy's own daughter plays a role. in it's because i think. dani navy is also an actor a screenwriter. and a producer he's one of the co-founders of one of germany's most innovative film production companies for more than thirty years he has been putting his unique view of the work on the big screen movies that are often personal and surprising. and we're joined now by daniel levy hello welcome to kino thank you. my first question is perhaps a really stupid one. why. why comedy why did you choose comedy to tell the type of stories you want to tell because they're often on the surface quite dark stories ok first of all it seems that i. may i might not have a comic life but i have comic expression at least i see comedy in a lot of things that i experienced in the way. life is sometimes so tough and unbearable in the way i think that humor and laugh and the laughs could really you know. but also help in the way off i can all sing or on the standing. conflicts that we have especially in relationships with family or with friends and i think you can say your

that is the navy secretary. there is no way and this is no way to conduct the nation's business.ocrats know it. the american people know that this party is not capable of governing. so where do we go from here? i believe many of my republican colleagues sincerely want to get a deal. i know their hearts are in the right place at. i know they lament the fact that we now acce pt they lament the fact that we now accept rings manship where bipartisanship used to be. in the past there was always discussion on these issues. everyone you in the senate you needed both parties to work together and none of that happened here today. now all this problem is because republican leadership can't get to yes because president trump refuses to. mr president, president trump, if you are listening, i am urging you, please take yes for an answer. the way things went today and the way you turn from a bipartisan deal, it is almost as if you were rooting for a shot down. and now we will have one and the blame should crash entirely on president trump's shoulders. that is senator chuck schumer, the senate

though the navy is monitoring the ground water. they complete the work and doing routine quarterly monitoring of soil and ground water results and if those results come back earlier than expected, we might have a late transfer late in the year of parcel 24. we just talked about the board of supervisors and we allowed the final approves for t.i. and we're moving under a street improvement on wbi but the final permit is conditioned upon the issuance of the pia in order to make progress. in the construction area, we are expecting a significant expansion in the month ahead of construction activity and we looked at re-routes on wbi and expect the temporary re-routes to be in place to kick off the significant amount of work on wbi. the geo technical work on treasure island, they've done a lot of side clearance within the foot prints there. they continue to find new and unanticipated things that could influence the geotechnical scope but expect to start roadway closures on treasure island in february with a bigger up tick in activity late

. >>> all right, a rare move by the navy. ve been filed against two ships involved in the deadly collisions last week that killed 16 sailors. >> earlier investigations by the navy showed the crashes were preventible. we knew that. now we know the charges and they are severe. dereliction of duty, hazarding a vessel and homicide. barbara starr is joining us now. you're talking about 17 american lives lost and now some very severe and rare charges. >> very -- not unprecedented perhaps but i've checked around. i can't find anybody in the navy who really remembers the last time this happened. negligent homicide for two commanding officers at these navy warships out in the far pacific late last year. these collisions with commercial vessels in two separate incidents killing 17 sailors. the commander officers facing charges of negligent homicide, operating a vessel in a hazardous manner, dereliction of duty and administrative punishment, if you will, also against eight additional crew members. what the initial investigations had foun

navy commanders are being charged with negligent homicide with the two crashes of navy destroyers that. involving merchant ships and the

department of the navy kind of inherited it. the command reports to the office they support the president moving him around the world including on air force one, marine one, the helicopter squadron at camp david, the agency int and the white house transportation agency, the white house medical unit, special programs etc. etc.. these are the uniformed personnel civilian men and women that support the presidency behind the scenes moving him around the world wherever he goes and engages with sodas and appropriated budget line in the navy appropriation to find and maintain camp david. but we know it as camp because why? succeeding president roosevelt was president truman not greatly enamored. his successor president eisenhower came in and thought it was a bit pretentious and thought of closing it but kind of became enamored with it again the early trend of many presidents with the facility. he decide decided maybe there ie utility even though i have my farm in gettysburg pennsylvania but he said i don't like the name said he remained

while the navy works to clean up what it left, vieques tries to deal with the financial crisis in its family here. she invited me to a meal at her home. joining us is her mother and son, carlito, her two nieces, and her best friend, elda. >> anthony: now where was the bombing range? >> erica: pretty close here, 2 miles after this. >> elda: maybe less. this was part of the navy land. >> anthony: when did the navy stop using vieques as a bombing range? >> carlito: 2003. >> anthony: that's not that long ago. so what you'd be eating lunch and you hear boom, boom. >> elda: basically. and still they detonate bombs. >> anthony: this is left over ordinances. >> elda: yeah this is like the clean up process. they gather the unexploded ammunitions and they detonate them all together. >> erica: the house moves with the bombing. it's like middle of the war. >> anthony: and i'm sorry you've lived here how long? >> carlito: all my life. >> erica: me too. all my life in vieques. [ rooster caww ] >> anthony: i've been drinking a fair amount of this lately. this one is flavored with? >> erica: acerola.

i love you. >>> last thing before we go tonight, the u.s. navying the rare step of charging two of its commanders, five officers of all in negligent homicide involving the "u.s.s. fitzgerald" in june and "u.s.s. mccain" in august. 17 sailors were killed in those two collisions. the commander of the "fitzgerald" and other officers face charges of dereliction of duty and endangering a ship. the two collisions have already cost eight top naval commanders their jobs, including the commander of the seventh fleet. there's another way to frame tonight's story about these charges now faced by these two ships' commanders. think of it this way, these are the people that the navy trusted with the lives of men and women who served on board both of these vessels. the navy now believes instead they deserve the blame for the loss of lives, 17 of america's very best on their vessels and on their watch. and that is why these charges are so notable and so rare. the navy says this loss of life last summer while in open water and not under fire, not under hostile co

recently the secretary of the navy said publicly that since the budget control act was passed the navy itself the navy alone lost or wasted $4 billion as a result of continuing resolution and budget uncertainty. do you believe the audit will show inefficiency like this and business operations across the department due to continuing resolution? >> i think the audit will show you some of the yes the problems that will come out of business out of the disruption from the cr. and one of the ways that that shows up. normally you have a year to spend money. one of the things we tend not to like the fourth quarter because of the way federal money looks if you don't spend it you lose it. the unusual thing we do in the federal government. they say wait, wait. sdp when you're down to a couple months here have it all. spend, spend, spend. that if you negotiated good price you maybe outside the window of when you negotiated an effective price. your plans for contracting and so forth get compressed. some of the disruptions had that are driven by the audit will help figure out how to manage it or wha

the navy's most controversial film was a comedy about. starring hell. hitler and hell on his presentational skills from a jewish coach someone from a concentration camp. before.

seeing the navy on the high sea, as a show for what the potential might be of this "navy second to none," they say -- they staged this circumnavigation of the great white fleet. they went all around the world showing the american flag in all of the key ports around the world. everyone was very impressed by the ships. [gunfire] >> as the european powers modeled thei -- muddled their way into the first world war in the fall of 1914, the united states decided to remain neutral, largely because president woodrow wilson developed a strategy of neutrality. agents, 1916, a group of working for the german ministry intually conducted an attack new york city. they three some explosives into the naval arsenal facility and it created an earthquake under the city of new york. it caused damage to the statue of liberty. a few months after that attack, as the government was trying to figure out who conducted the attack, this u-boat showed up in newport, rhode island. 3, andrman submarine, u5 its commander, showed up in the bay, pulled up to buoy number 2, next to the united states war college, and the

on the navy side there created for amphibious landings. these units would go and i were generally considered successful in doing so. then we have the oss, the head of -- is trying to find places to put forces. many commanders don't want them there. but he does find partners probably because there's not a lot of forces there. they didn't want the enemy to know that the only had one unit. so they partner with forces after some trial and error any of their initial attempts to go well. the highly effective force. in europe the oss forces units in the german area. locally they have success. we tend to overestimate their effectiveness on a strategic scale. there's only 222 that go in which is much smaller they're both smaller than the british we need to figure out what causes trouble is not high on the list of the campaign done to mislead the germans which was most important in terms of slowing the german response. whether some impact we over impact the strategic impact. but there's reverence to that. tend world war ii must all of these forces ar
