president, as i said at the outset, the question is whether mr. barr is the right person for the job at this time. fromemo that i am quoting i spent a full day reading and thinking about and it was the most extreme case a presidential power -- of presidential power i have ever read about. me cause itself, give to believe this is why i could be wrong but this is why he received that nomination. implication of presidential power, an unlimited control that mr. barr believes this president has over law-enforcement matters, i cannot support this nominee to serve as attorney general. at this critical time, in our nations history, we must have an attorney who is objective, who is clearly committed to protecting the interests of the people, the country and the constitution. that is the issue, not the president. thank you. i yield the floor. >> i will now turn my attention to the vote that will happen shortly today or tomorrow on william barr to be attorney general.

that you're making that it influences the way that they structure their campaign spending plan at the outset because they don't know when they might have permission to raise and spend more. but that time factor that you're referencing as having an effect on expenditure is the same argument that you're making that ultimately limits the amount collected and spent overall. so i guess i maybe need to go back and understand the math a little bit better and the chart. it does, you know, require us to contemplate whether or not having just a one incident, you know, no limit versus drawing out the time within which people will not know whether or not they're going to have a free -- free ride will collectively reduce the amount of money in campaigns. i mean, i think that that -- that's the issue that they're bringing to us and that we need to -- those of us that have never run a campaign before need to understand better. and i hear what you're saying, that at the end of the day, it's not really -- it's not making a difference, we're just constantly raising it. especially when our limits were $10,000.

director of the asia division phil thank you very much for speaking to us can i just ask you at the outset is your own son suchi responsible for the deterioration of press freedom in myanmar. well she's certainly playing a role in this it's her political party that is overseeing the teary a sion a free expression and the diminishing respect for media freedom in this country she's done nothing to with to constrain her m.p.'s and other members of her party from bringing criminal defamation cases against the media or getting them for the under the telecommunications act the very infamous article sixty six d. of the telecommunications act we're seeing time and time again a failure by the end of the to raise these issues a press freedom to defend journalists in fact they tend to take the other side that you know whoever is doing the journalist whoever is going after the journalist must have some sort of sufficient cause to do so we have seen time and time again also an allegation that somehow the journalists have offended some with dignity as if that's enough to proceed with a criminal prosecut

from the outset, the agency is concerned with how to we create a cover story to hide this. they came up with the ingenious idea that they are going to create the fiction supported by private donations. they create in elaborate fundraising drive. that continued for 20 years and went through a name change. and to put that in perspective, imagine an advertising campaign that goes on for 20 years, encouraging americans to buy a particular product, only they can see that product, you can't use that product, or in this case you can't hear it. its broadcasting overseas. a place where americans can't go. they can never listen to. endorsed by every president from until it wason disclosed that the cia was behind it. is theeresting thing media continually supported this campaign from 1950 to 1970's. these appeals would appear in advertisements that were printed for free. they ran commercials for free asking americans for money. this that's ite came out that the cia was behind -- it came out that the cia was behind this. expose of ashed an broad range of private american groups that th

human rights activist this move thank you so much for speaking to us i just have to ask you at the outset do you still believe that observer heem. is still alive. thank you for having me i would like to be dave that he is alive but the radio that china has put raises a lot of questions for example there are no details about where he is how to which prison hayes eighteen and also from the contents of what he said it sounded as if he was forced to repeat what he was told he said oh no we want you in that case in good health but we can see that the video on the radio ok look tatty is at least ten years old that that pay did be full but this follows a similar pattern that china has employed in the boston rich people who have been accused of crimes against the state or whom the state is investigating suddenly appear in dumbs of a video confession confessing to their crimes all making some such claims yes this is a very common common act that china or the chinese government also force that plays knows should do a lot to say what they are what they are forced to do what the crimes that of the re

chicago and he's also the lead singer has a brother mason i'm going to so good to see you i just said the outset we all love this band and we're completely taken in by the sound that the band is producing can you tell us a bit about that what else makes this rock music so mongolian. oh thank you so much and. to be here today and. you know. based. punk. music. and money. and i'm sure so. i think what makes our very unique is we're playing our traditional music with instruments. in a rock manner so god makes that very unique but how did you are did you come across this how did you come across this form in the waters of the trying to can really is it just the music or just something more. well. it's all started with cover producer. and he started my guy. who started thank you no i didn't quite likely nine years ago he started and you start researching old age and we go you vote. too. old to steve's end. and we. after seven years we come up with this army and it's not it's not all about music it's all the. culture and the message you know. it's it's just it's not just on the music. if i can just ask

deliver results a clear timetable from pyongyang for dismantling its nuclear program for example from the outset he made it clear that he wasn't going to be rushed. very very much for giving that we've is not that important to be. found in perhaps the most public commitment to international demands yet a comment from north korea's kim jong un when asked whether he was ready to did new clear ice. you know filled with your generosity and that if i'm not really there that i won't be here right. there. it will be the best answer you've ever made but with p.r. nyang pressing its own demands president trump was left to explain why the talks fell apart so basically they wanted these sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that. they were willing to do new goal or church portion of the areas that we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for that so we continue to work and we'll see what we had to walk away from that particular suggestion we had to walk away from. it was a dispiriting end to a much more wanted meeting with the sanctions issue still far from resolved it appears

our lives in tulsa county all time is well placed or did i marry you i don't know even at the outset the back and forth on the response of a man to have been out in the town and it's a bit spent a part of it in the knowledge that there's a product or service just. listening listening go. kick i thank. you i'm. going home. and. the united states does that all the time it always tries to influence elections when the people who are running who are friendly to the united states are running against people who are unfair and we certainly did that all through central america and south america for many many years we know that these efforts are made repeatedly there not criminal every intelligence agency in the world sees as part of its function to make sure that elections turn out favorably to the country. it. must lead by its own keep the slimes you force me to do the focus of us if you still. put what. you see in the prison for the most good moment in. your home at all. not at all shame on you. know what. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected

given at the outset that the man was on the response and i'm going to have them that's a big part of. the deficit. the bipartisan senate intelligence committee shocked the liberal media when it needed there was no evidence of so-called collusion between the trump world and russia so what have the last two years been all about and what is the damage left behind when russia gate fades from new sight. decision to quit the i.n.f. treaty takes the world a step closer to a nuclear holocaust that's the warning from the twenty twenty us presidential candidate who's introduced a bill to talk paedo the. meantime the us president declares a national emergency to.

aid distributed and get in they have been clear from the outset of announcing this plan that all they were prepared to do was to get boxes of aid unclear how many that would be comprised of medical aid and food stuffs on the border and that then they were hoping that venezuelan vehicles would be able to cross and get that aid and take it back into venezuela the fact of the matter is though that there are these going as well security forces that are blocking this road this narrow stretch of road that leads into venezuela there's about ten to twenty of those security forces that have been stationed there since nicolas maduro close his border with brazil they will not allow those vehicles to pass into brazil to pick up any aid so it's a very fluid situation as i mentioned this is really the last kind of thing that brazil would like to see there's many reasons why brazil doesn't want tensions to continue to flare we must remember we are here in this rather poor northern region called hot i must state this is a state that is actually not connected to the power grid in brazil they rely on g

at the outset of the obama administration. the president and his office his staff myself included sought to send messages to north korea to signal that we were interested in. pursuing or reinventing a diplomatic track so you send this message what was it was. the answer was a missile test in the first few months of the obama administration. you were on the offensive gesture it was an act of defiance and it's also a task the north koreans have a history of trying to break in a new leader you there in south korea or in the united states. the younger nuclear facility expanded its operations the obama administration took note but continued to pursue its policy of strategic patience. you know the north koreans used to say to us your your policy is for to treat patients that's what these patients as you want to read just build a nuclear program and that's what they did. unfortunately. the talks between the u.s. and north korea continued in new york the participants included robert carlin an expert on north korea's nuclear program wh

this whole investigation was a fraud from the outset. obvious to anyone who will take off their political partisan cap and just look at the facts. and i think andrew mccabe gave it away last night. he gave it away. i thought it was so obvious, they had nothing on trump >>> exactly. i think the big problem confronting the new attorney general is this, and a lot of people may not want to get into this discussion, as we have a political party, the democratic party turning harder and harder left, which in itself is a major national security risk, we also do not know exactly to this day exactly what happened in the fbi, whether there still existsh within the fbi these kinds of issues. perhaps people appointed by mccabe before he left. and we need to get to the bottom of all these things that are still out there in the universe and all these loose ends. people need to know who original straight all of this? it is absolutely just unbelievable that there is not somebody behind all of this, that pulled it together and ha compromised the fbi. we'r

at the outset of this historic conference, leaders from across the region agreed that the greatest threat to peace and security in the middle east is he islamic republic of iran. 40 years ago this month the mullahs seized control of that country and every year since they've supported terrorist proxies and militias, exported missiles, fueled conflicts in syria and yemen and beyond. the iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. they've bombed american embassies, murdered hundreds of american troops and even today they hold hostage citizens of the united states and other western nations. they have violated resolutions and plotted terrorist attacks on european soil. as president trump said, iranian regime has funded its long reign of chaos and terror by plundering the wealth of its own people. brutalizes regime women, terrorizes gay people and openly advocates for the destruction of the sate of israel. the ayatollah khomeini said it's the mission of the republic of iran to rerace israel from the map. later today, my wife and i will lay a wreath at the memorial in

so at the outset, the agency is concerned with how do we create a cover story to hide to this? so they came up with the ingenious idea that they are going to create the fiction that it is supported by private donations. so what they did is created an elaborate fundraising drive that continued for 20 years, with a name change in 1960, but for 20 years. each year every year, it asked americans to contribute money to support the cause of radio free europe. and to sort of put that into perspective, imagine an advertising campaign that goes on for 20 years, encouraging americans to buy a particular product. only you cannot see that product, you cannot use that product, or in this case, you can't hear it. because radio free europe is the -- the interesting thing is the media continually supported this campaign from 1940 to the 1970's. asking americans for money. it came out in 1967 that the cia was behind this, as the result of an upstart new left magazine out of san francisco called "ramparts magazine," and it published an expose of a broad range of private american groups that the

people we heard from rick stirling an investigative journalist who says it was all theater from the outset however the deception achieved its purpose incident didn't do much although one might be all of that the russian ministry of defense many predicted the events that happily predicted there would be a chemical a chemical weapons incident that would lead that would serve as the pretext for the us to attack syria and as we know that is exactly what that's exactly what happened but i think it's very unlikely the worst is going to know all here a lot more work needs to be done to expose that deception and see i think experience and likelihood that the the mainstream media the conflict has been totally upside down in a wrong laughter the story made headlines or diety the author of the tweets closed his account meanwhile the content of the b.b.c. for comment the b.b.c. said the producer in question was just expressing personal opinions. a new policy document laying out the ways the u.s. government can fight climate change has been proposed by a congresswoman from new york the so-called green

attacking its own people but investigative journalist or extolling says it was all theater from the outset as the deception achieved its purpose anyway. actually one month before it was. incident in dumas well one month before that the russian ministry of finance predicted the events that happened he predicted there would be a chemical up a chemical weapons incident that would leave that would surface the pretext for the us to attack syria and as we know that is exactly what that's exactly what happened but i think it's very unlikely that the west is going to acknowledge the. misinformation the deception here a lot more work needs to be done to expose the deception and the city i think it's very unlikely that the the mainstream media in the u.k. or the u.s. is suddenly going to acknowledge that. the conflict has been totally upside down in the wrong after the story hit the headlines ram to last say the author of the tweets closed his accounts meanwhile we contacted the b.b.c. for comments it said the producer in question was expressing his personal opinion. most help stories in thirty minu

it will be an amended sentence from the outset. rs, his one year behind he will sleep in prison at night but be free during the day. >> that means he can be back home. he will be able to keep his job and look for one, and to get back to a normal working life. >> the twice national light foryweit was in court being in a fist fight with riot officers. he can be seeing raining blows on a police officer and continuing to attack one while he is on the ground. the injured officers had to take time off work. he was also given an 18 month suspended sentence and will have to pay damages of up to 3000 euros. there was satisfaction on the victims' side. >> justice has been served. it is a fair decision and the victims have recognized it as such. saidring the hearing, he that he was ashamed and regretted his actions and he apologized to the officers. wanted the court t that he to defend a young woman being beaten by police and quote, in stopping one injustice, i committed another. and poland are sponsoring a conference which they say is aimed a

so allen as i mentioned at the outset simply outspend and out innovate every body else is that really what his supporters elected him to d. spend a whole lot of money on nuclear escalation know his supporters -- elected him to spend a whole lot of money in building a stupid wall in on the southern border and and and and to create the protectionism -- into and that's what he's doing and it did don't have to tell me about the stupidity of trump's. voters all of trump himself but when he gets one thing right its security he's saying nato's not spending enough on security he's saying china is the big threat he's saying the i. n. f. is constraining us. to protect our allies in ages on about a truck how many nuclear weapons china it is about time this. ability to to to to pressure taiwan to pressure japan and these people need need defense and that's what it's about and when he gets it right it gets it right let me briefly ask your city to seybold. cool cool would drive. a campaign toward a new international security architecture clearly it's not gonna be left. i'm at a loss there high done

though have been saying from the outset they're using it as part of the regime change operation that is they're trying to use it in a way that would get armed forces of venezuela to disobeyed orders of the president and it's all about public relations and i should say that's why the united nations and the international red cross and the groups that are actually concerned with humanitarian aid they want no part of this and they've very harshly criticized the whole thing. the white house says a small group of u.s. troops will remain in syria after the rest of the american forces withdraw trump announced the pullout in december surprising allies both in the west and on the ground u.s. troops have been training supplying and advise in the kurdish dominated democratic forces in the fight against. those joins me now from washington d.c. what more do we know about this phone call that appears to have taken place between president donald trump and the turkish president. yeah it was a call that happened on thursday and it's part of these ongoing negotiations between ankara and washington on h

so like other 17th-century magistrates, they assumed the guilt of the accused from the outset, for good reason. in their experience as magistrates in the 17th century, almost all the people they dealt with in criminal matters were guilty. i had found that out in my quantitative analysis of the records. almost everyone is convicted in century trial. not just in salem, but any time. trials in the 17th century were not about guilt or innocence, but about degrees of guilt. people obviously guilty of capital crimes could be found guilty of less or offensive if the judges chose to do that. they were accustomed to dealing with guilty people, not innocent ones, because the neighbors all knew everybody's business and they told the judges that this person did that thing, so the judges knew that was true, or the stolen goods had been found in their house or something like that. in addition, there was another reason why judges took the approach to the accused that they did, and that will take some explaining. i had another surprising revelation that develop from one of my initial questions my major

to the next and each time we started up a nice change here as it is in fact life and unfun from the outset we toured internationally we toured the us and our second or third year we traveled to india and toured a lot in europe peeling off all par. so right from the start travelling was part of our identity it was our aspiration and our concept of those. scenes up on our consul says first and nurses at us that we wanted to build bridges with our art and take it to different audiences to countries and cultures that also inspire our work. for the year of it so in that respect our life today isn't all that different than it was twenty five years ago. isn't anyone gets . an us us. was it's our. sufyan zillah emitter once hosted meetings of left wing revolutionaries later it was used by the nazis then it was a fear workshop with its dilapidated charm and checkered history it was the perfect setting for the shots this breakthrough production. and offbeat provocative production part of a trilogy on the absurdities of domestic life the company research for months in communist era housing complexes.

from the estonian capital tallent has been part of the core team from the outset. i'm really happy that through this moment we have given people back the understanding that they have power to change things it doesn't have to be organizing a worldwide cleanup for a country like tina it can just be the power of making a little bit different decisions every day because. your friends will know it differently will know it it's the most important change you can inflict on the world changing yourself. since stan the donations funded movement are spread around the world. the global network has engaged a total of more than thirty five million volunteers since its launch in around one hundred sixty countries problem easy thing to manage. mostly when the clean ups are organized you need a lot of people working together they are very very often spread all around the country but they need to work together is in a very synchronized way so we must. use their knowledge sheet to to assess the problem to plan the action and to communicate with each other it's crucial otherwise you co

from the outset, he made it clear he would not be rushed. >> i would say very much h from the beginninghat speed is not that important to me. >> and perhaps the most public commitment to international demands yet, a comment from north korea's kim jong-un when asked if he was ready to denuclearize. >> if i'm not willing to do that, i won't be here right now. >> that might be the best answer you've ever heard. >> but with pyongyang pressing its own n demands, president trp was left to explain why the talks felell apartrt. >> basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we could not do that. they were willing to de-nuke a lalarge portion of the areas we wantnted, but we could not givep a large portion of the sanctions for that. we had to walk away from that particular suggestion. we had to walk away from that. >> it was a dispiriting end to a much vaunted meeting. it appears the road to disarming north korea will be a long one. rent: -- brent: for more, i want to take the story to washington, d.c. i'm joined by doug from the cato institute, a think tank in the u.s. cap

difficult for the chinese to agree to get involved and if like treaty so alan as i mentioned at the outset donald trump said in the state of the union that if china doesn't want to get on board the u.s. will simply outspend and out innovate every body else is that really what his supporters elected him to do spend a whole lot of money on nuclear escalation know is support is elected him to spend a whole lot of money in building a stupid war on the southern border and and to create protectionism. and that's what he's doing it do don't have to tell me about the stupidity of trump's voters all of trump himself but when he gets one thing right it's security he's saying nato is not spending enough on security he's saying china is the big threat he's saying the i.m.f. is constraining us to protect our allies in asia it's not about. how many nuclear weapons china has is about china's ability to to to to pressure taiwan to pressure japan and these people need neat defense and that's what it's about and when you get it right to get it right let me briefly ask you simply to see both who could drive.
