at the time there were 119 plaintiffs. there were 1,000 witnesses, 25,000 pages of testimony, 1500 exhibits, huge lawsuit that followed. and then it basically pitted these two sides. the plaintiffs were made up mainly of italian immigrants and their family, irish city workers on the one side, whose argument was that the tank was improperly constructed, that mr. jell had real experience in engineering and architecture. by the way, one thing that does come out at trial, part of jell's responsibility under the contract that he had with the steel manufacturer was that he would test the tank once it was completed by filling this 50-foot tank of water with water to see if it leaked. jell is so rushed to get this tank built so he could get into the munitions thing, that he has neither the time nor money to do that. so he fills the 50-foot tank with 60 inches of water. -- six inches of water. that's the test he does. and that tanks it past the first angle joint. he doesn't leak and he pronounces that safe. that also comes out at tr

at the time of the previous regime was less than $300 million. therefore, we have chosen the right path. speaking of the modern irrigation systems in the previous regime, it was 38,000 hectares. and today, it is 2.5 million hectares that are covered by modern irrigation system. it has been six-fold increase. so if you look at these agricultural figures, you realize that in the past 40 years, our nation has made major progress. today in the industrial sector, if you compare it to the 40 years ago, all of our industrial enterprises -- the number of industrial enterprises is 85,000. our steel products in the past was less than 400,000. today, that figure has reached 20 million tons. these figures are not even comparable with 10 years ago. this means we are on the path of construction and progress. i wish to draw your attention to this. at the time of the shah's regime, the people could use 110 million tons of natural gas and today has reached 1,000 million tons. this means that our laborers and engineers are making great -- making great effort in th

the oval office. i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia reserves his time. the gentleman from missouri. mr. graves: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i might point out to my colleagues how much of a national emergency this is. it was president obama who recognized this crisis at the border. in 2014, president obama requested $3.7 billion in emergency supplemental funding for what he described as a humanitarian crisis, a humanitarian crisis at the border. he specifically cited an increase in family unions trying to cross the border and a lack of resources to accommodate them. with that, mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to the gentleman from alabama, mr. aderholt. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. aderholt: i thank my colleague for yielding. i rise today to oppose the joint resolution to overturn the president's declaration, i think it's very clear that there is a national emergency that exists on our southern border because of the high rate of unchecked, unregulated, illegal immigration. . illegal immigration that is

now it's time for the weather with darren bett. hello there. for almost two weeks now we have had unusually warm days for this time of the year. on thursday we actually broke a record for the february temperature in scotland. just over 18 degrees in aberdeenshire. beating the previous record set way back in the 19th century. the main reason for it being so warm, notjust in scotland but elsewhere across the uk as well, is because our air is coming from a long way south. there is the canaries. let's put on the jet stream. it is diving down into the mid atlantic. pushing that warm air across the uk. if we move things on a little bit and follow the shape of thatjet stream, it is like an omega shape and that is why we call it an omega block. those blocks will take some shifting. when you have clear skies and it gets a bit chilly overnight, mist and fog forming. around western scotland and northern ireland where it is windier and cloudier, there may be a little bit of rain and drizzle. otherwise dry. probably looking at temperatures a wee bit higher t

the balance of his time. the gentleman from georgia. mr. collins: thank you, mr. speaker. today i rise in strong opposition to h.r. 8. the so-called bipartisan background checks act. this is bad legislation that fails to make anyone safer in any regard. i have been listening here and sitting on the floor for just the last few minutes and listening to those who came up and were happy about this bill coming forward today and they mentioned many acts of mass violence and situations that have happened. the sad part about it is they claim this is the answer and the first step. the actuality is it's at best a side step and may actually be a step backwards. and will not do what is being claimed to do. all this legislation will do is burden law-abiding citizens wishing to exercise their second amdment rights, including defending themselves from the gun toting criminals this bill does nothing to combat. h.r. 8 foolishly presumes criminals will submit themselves to background checks. ourmans -- members who support -- ar

so, the time it takes to get those folks on the train, the time it takes to pull the train in and then to wait until there is a slot or a break in the congestion because we also have trains coming into the portal and then to land back on the embarcadero platform and sometimes it is small things that are human nature. i go to relieve you while you use the restroom and i ask how are your kids? how's your family? that may not seem like it is going to be harmful to the overall health of the subway. but can actually lead to a lot of delay. sometimes -- once it is in the pocket, the controller up in central, not quickly enough getting it out of the pocket because of other things that they're doing to manage the subway. so, there is a lot of different intervention points. but the boots on the ground and really trying to adopt more of like a nascar pit type urgency is what i think is going to really take to start turning trains more quickly. >> just a question. is it a more manual ?ros what you describe sounds more manual than technical. >> it's both. the trains themselves, when they're moving

the times. theresa may delays crucial votes 17 days before brexit. e of the perils facing us as political journalists one of the perils facing us as politicaljournalists is that all the time we tell people, it will be really important and decisive this week. and people say afterwards, it never is, the story never changes, we arejust never is, the story never changes, we are just closer to the abyss. but i think this time it will be a decisive week in westminster, on wednesday mps will seek to pass on a moment and probably will pass on the net which would compel the prime minister to seek an extension to article 50 and dele brexit. —— pass an amendment. the announcement today has to be seen in that context. she is trying to persuade her mps and ministers not to vote for that amendment, not to compel her to dele brexit by saying, give me a bit longer. i knowi brexit by saying, give me a bit longer. i know i have failed miserably in the six weeks since the crushing of my deal, she has failed miserably to persuade the —— persuade you to change the deal. s

that happened at the same time. have a clip of that and talking -- with him explaining his, what he was trying to say when he went on the air to talk about the role of the benghazi committee and how the republicans were positioning that investigation. >> your comments about benghazi last week -- mr. mccarthy: that wasn't helpful. i could have said it much better. but this benghazi committee was only created for one purpose. to find the truth on behalf of the families for the four dead americans. i should not be a distraction from that. and that is part of the decision as well. >> thank you very much, guys. host: that was the same press conference but it clearly -- the benghazi conversation had been in the headlines for days after he said it. what was the ill port of that? why was it such a topic of conversation? >> it was a disaster for him. the benghazi investigation is going on, everybody knows, this is politically motivated, that this benghazi investigation could damage hillary clinton. they'd had six or seven in

according to "the times," quote, mr. trump called matthew whitaker, his newly installed attorney general, with a question. he asked whether geoffrey berman, the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york and a trump ally, could be put in charge of the widening investigation. mr. whitaker, who had privately told associates that part of his role at the justice department was to jump on a grenade for the president, knew he could not put mr. berman in charge because mr. berman had already recused himself from the investigation. the president soon soured on mr. whitaker, as he often does with his aides, and complained about his inability to pull levers at the justice department that could make the president's many legal problems go away. that report appears to somewhat contradict what matt whitaker told the house judiciary committee nearly two weeks ago. >> the president did not ask for and i did not provide any commitments, promises concerning the special counsel's investigation or any other investigation. >> later a

do men make the times or does the time make the man? david: lincoln considered suicide at one point? doris: his best friend came to his side and said lincoln said you must rally or you will die. when they become great leaders is when ambition for yourself becomes ambition for the greater good. a leader needs to help the citizens come together to feel that they have a sense of common destiny. >> would you fix your tie, please? david: well, people wouldn't recognize me if my tie was fixed, but okay. let's leave it this way. alright. i don't consider myself a journalist. and nobody else would consider myself a journalist. i began to take on the life of being an interviewer, even though i have a day job of running a private equity firm. how do you define leadership? what is it that makes somebody tick? why did you decide to write a book on leadership as opposed to another biography? doris: what really intrigued me, from the time i was in graduate school, was the questions revolving around leadership. the ones that we used to debate when we

the times has some evidence to prove it. then the third thing they point out is a pattern of misinformation by the staff in the firing of mike flynn to the point where white house lawyers were flagging it and writing a memo behind the scene saying, what you're saying about this is not true. the times is suggesting that's part of an attempt to cover up and discredit. they quote reputable scholars in the story. what's interesting is richard nixon, one of the articles of impeachment against him was obstruction of justice. he ordered the fbi to stop investigating. trump is doing something different. he is mounting a public campaign in plain sight to seek to discredit the justice department and the fbi. >> it's that very brazenness, in plain sight, that effectively is the defense for president trump here. if this was a conspiracy, why would i be doing it in front of all of you. >> that's right. but critics would say he's the president. his words carry weight. they intimidate people. they could intimidate people from doing their jo

the benefits of that for quite some time. ecb do not have those tools at their disposal. somebody put it recently that if you thought greece was something, this would be something that is many times more. the situation in greece when they had economic challenges, those fears are actually adding to the gloom that is surrounding italy. hence the story that seems to talk about europe. we do have challenges in france, challenges in germany. i was in germany earlier this week. i'm not sure the whole of europe is yet into recession. we are not yet there. let's talk about some of the optimism which is being sprinkled across the front pages of the japan times. japan and the eu, the free—trade pact between these two areas, coming into force. six years of negotiations to get us to this point in it covers something like a third of the world economy. that is good news in japan third of the world economy. that is good news injapan is of course the third largest economy in the world, still very important. this story is particularly interest

>> the time that i lived with my daughters in a studio apartment. and the bulk of the book focuses on that time. do not spending time in the really large houses and cleaning them. and a lot of that disenchantment process that i went through with a big house on the hill and to be powerful. it's a lot about what it means but what came across so strongly what is emotion and how it feels. it with those financial challengers and the book is a lot about your emotional journey so can you share how that felt for you? >> the first thing that comes to mind is bewilderment not really understanding what is going on but i also felt very marooned and isolated and alone in a way that is all encompassing with nothing to fall back on. and through all of that process i learned to rely and depend on myself which was empowering and strengthening but also very hard. the only person that i depend on his myself so that has caused me to not ask for help from others and i need to constantly remind myself but a lot of that time. was disappointing and kinda sad at times but wi

i thank you for the time. host: scott wong, so we're entering the era of flipping back and forth from party control. everyone talks about bipartisanship but what's the reality of the congress kevin mccarthy came into in 2007 and what it's been like since? >> well, those are the nancy pelosi years when he arrived, then it became the boehner years. you know, they haven't been terribly bipartisan. i mean that's a reality. it looks like even in the trump era especially, as we're in a government shutdown, out of a government shutdown, and back in it, things haven't changed that much. he entered into a congress that was very partisan and not getting a whole lot done. obviously when obama won election, that was the arrival of obamacare, democrats were able to push that through. during the kevin mccarthy era. and obviously that became a big punching bag and a big target for republicans helping to propel them back into power in 2010 obviously with the young guns program that kevin mccarthy was an integral part of. >> ca

i was eight years old at the time. you had told me when i was eight years old that in 50 years we would not be capable of putting man, not just back on the moon but not putting them in orbit, i know we are trying the last few years there have been some attempts to get back but, we would not be capable of putting a man in lower orbit i would have said even as an 8-year-old, are you kidding me? anyways, thank you c-span and thank you mr. courson. >> there is a photograph in your book of valerie anders and susan borman. james level radio to earth and thank please be informed there is a santa claus. what does this picture represent? >> the picture is layers deep. if you read the story, susie borman was suffering badly by the time apollo 8 launched. about a year and a half before, three astronauts lost their lives during a test on the launchpad for apollo 1. one of them was the husband of susan's close to friends. susan watched the devastation on her family and children. she became convinced that with 100% certainty that fr

it showed 60% of the president's time over the last threeish months have been spent in executive time, which is a concept former chief of staff john kelly introduced last year because the president said look, i don't want to be tied down to a regular schedule. i want to have unstructured time so i can govern and do things as i see fit in my own way. you know, as you mentioned earlier, sometimes that includes watching "fox & friends" or cable news, msnbc, cnn, because he tweets about it. we know he's watching cable news, because he tweets about it. that can be tweeting or reading papers. but sometimes i think is fascinating he uses executive time to obscure meetings he doesn't want western officials to know about right away. last week when he met with herman cain, for example, that was obscured under executive time and it wasn't on the schedule that was leaked to me but we obviously found out about that after. another time i'm thinking about october, i think it was, he was in executive time but tweeted how he had just gotten off the phone with the president of turkey. so he's also usin

katie, do you want to kick off for us on this as to what the financial times has to say? japan and that has been linked to brexit. the ft has said there is new pressure to rule out no deal as the pressure builds. what the paper has is a letter that back at the time when the government was trying to basically tell nissan that things would be ok in terms of brexit and they had made lots of promises or suggestions that you would have things like frictionless trade and pointing out that the nissan decision means that theresa may is under increasing pressure to rule out no deal because lots of manufacturing jobs rely on supply chains. and if you end up with a nodal situation or even uncertainty you will see almost like this. it is interesting in this piece because they go on to suggest that greg clark was making these hints but did not go as far as to suggest that the uk would be any customs union. i do not think the government position would either be a customs union because it is toxic to a large part of the tory party but there is a problem that so many businesses thought th

the balance of his time. the gentleman from georgia. mr. collins: thank you, mr. speaker. today i rise in strong opposition to h.r. 8. the so-called bipartisan background checks act. this is bad legislation that fails to make anyone safer in any regard. i have been listening here and sitting on the floor for just the last few minutes and listening to those who came up and were happy about this bill coming forward today and they mentioned many acts of mass violence and situations that have happened. the sad part about it is they claim this is the answer and the first step. the actuality is it's at best a side step and may actually be a step backwards. and will not do what is being claimed to do. all this legislation will do is burden law-abiding citizens wishing to exercise their second amendment rights, including defending themselves from the gun toting criminals this bill does nothing to combat. h.r. 8 foolishly presumes criminals will submit themselves to background checks. ourmans -- members who support --

the times raises the concept of, quote, perjury. we can't report whether the house views it that way. that's yet to be determined. only donald trump knows where he may have legal vulnerability and does not. it is possible he doesn't have vulnerability in the country. we reported the legal pressure points of prosecutors in new york. they have jurisdiction over trump's business and some of his campaign which is why it was striking that trump took the unusual step of personally interviewing the very lawyer the times reports he wanted in charge of the probe. just like donald trump interviewed the famous lawyer that originally held the post when trump took office, that was in the trump tower meeting with no precedent from any presidential transition in history. it brings me no joy to tell you these are the cases we are following, that this is the office we are following. it just happens to be what the times is zeroing in on tonight. none of this is normal. and the times makes that explicit. writing donald trump's attempts to defang the i

still aiming. >> what is the timing? , we could dorules that more than once, and the time. we are trying to seek internal to choose theon reasons for the best time to do it, but we have to have this before the internal position. >> and maybe by then there is a resolution to the whole thing. we have another audience question. would you be willing to accept changes of lowering intellectual-property protections for drugs in ways that you would affect labor rules. >> it is good that you raised that. they said we accepted these negotiations. they said did we accept the agreement? say that everybody knows that the future of medicine is in the biological medicine. we have great challenges in mexico on the health issues. for mexico in general and i'm not going against what was agreed -- it was agreed and we for mexico, it, but the less time of protection, the better. it was one of the big concessions of the country of mexico to getting usmca wrapped up. you would have to ask the american side if they are willing. to reopen the negotiations would be to open a pandora's box. this woul

that's the suggestion in the times. rdian we have may reject corbyn‘s offer. it also risk cabinet split. the times is seeing it rather differently. nobody quite knows what either of the leaders are really doing or playing around with that what we have in labour as much as in the tory party is a real split. and actually genuinely held, principled splits. these are not people who tried to get rid of one leader or another, these are serious people. i think, for me, the person who has made both events in recent times —— most sense is keir starmer. he is calling for a second referendum. you doesn't speak for the labour party. no, i know. but the deputy prime minister has also edged towards this. explain this for me. lim i will chew my best. —— i will do my best. it doesn't allow the uk to make trade deals with any other country. that's what apparently may wa nt country. that's what apparently may want to chat to corbyn about because she is an act is a drawback. —— she isa she is an act is a drawback. —— she is a saying it is

and at the time of the, at the time of christmas, made a similar announcement. and the americans had promised to have all the corrupt u.s. statesmen to be in tehran. they have failed. and they will fail in the future. that's been due to the people's faith in god, their faith in the fatima, and the faith in their prophet, and the faith in their leader. they're united. they will support the leadership. and we will undoubtedly emerge victorious in the face of this issue, and people have certain problems in their daily lives, but we will overcome these difficulties, and the situation, in this region is much better than what the americans thought. and our status will be further promoted. we will overcome the difficulties. and my last word of this gathering is that our ideal today is the ideal that we pursued 40 years ago. we replaced dictatorship with freedom. we replaced colonialism with national sovereign ty. we replaced corruption with virtues. and we replaced discrimination with justice. we replaced tendencies to the east or the west with iranian and islamic ident

but when substitute kevin struck the times effectively over, with 20 minutes still to go. ghting for his life in a hospital in germany. it's after he was punched inside the stadium near their end of their champions league tie at schalke last night. our sports correspondent david ornstein gave us this update. the news reached us around lunchtime and manchester city issued a statement that they were aware of an alleged assault after the match at the arena and they were working with greater manchester police and their german counterparts to ascertain more information. club staff remain in germany to support the family and it is my understanding that a number member of staff this afternoon was flown over from manchester with the match was played, and soon after there was a statement from greater manchester. please confirm that it was a british man and urging people to come forward with any information. recently we have received a statement from german police and i will read it to you 110w. police and i will read it to you now. shortly before the end of the fixture, there was a

but still quite mild for the time of year. gh, in the sunday and into the beginning of next week, a band of rain on that weather front comes into the uk. next week, a band of rain on that weatherfront comes into the uk. and thenit weatherfront comes into the uk. and then it is going to hang around for a few days. kind that we get some showers coming in. and this is the jet stream position, so it is buckling much, much more, and we are introducing cooler air across the uk. strongerjets introducing cooler air across the uk. stronger jets coming introducing cooler air across the uk. strongerjets coming across the atla ntic uk. strongerjets coming across the atlantic may bring some weather fronts in from the west later on in the next week. on the whole, next week looks like it is going to be a little bit cooler, it is going to be more unsettled. there will be some showers around following a spell of rain that could linger for a while across the south—east of the uk. is it from me. more details, as ever, online. hello. this is bbc n

and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute . the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, madam speaker. as a member of the house representing a district disproportionately affected by gun violence, i know firsthand the toll that it takes on our community. that's why earlier today i voted on h.r. 8. just a year ago last october, a 27-year-old man was killed in a senseless act right in front of my house in little village in chicago. as of sunday, our city had witnessed 241 shootings in 2019 so far, including two in my neighborhood in the last week. in fact, in chicago, five of six homicides remain unsolved. but chicago has some of the most stringent gun laws in the u.s. mr. garcia: what we need is federal legislation that makes it harder to access guns. it is our responsibility to stand up for safety of our communities

the effort was made around the time the election before we knew was going to win. there was just discussions about that. >> that was another time senator schumer was looking right before the election to do something and nothing happened. all of these things and talk about happen. the reason i'm sensitive as i was a republican volunteer. >> you were. >> the democratic president and democratic majority, make it easier to do, and we made some very important changes that i think helped the senate. >> mr. chairman, i promise to be brief but i want to make this point. simply receiving blue slips is certainly a political courtesy, but no guarantee of qualification for the federal bench. so far, six trump nominees have received not qualified ratings by the american bar association including two oklahoma district court nominees, two circuit court nominees. four of those not qualified nominees have been confirmed. simple receiving a blue slip not absolve the new nominee or not the senate from its responsibility to ask questions for a lifetime appointment and two hours would h

"the new york times" adds fuel to the smoldering doubts, "the times" reports president trump himself attorney general and asked whitaker if somebody else could be put in charge of the investigation of michael cohen, somebody else at the federal prosecutor's office in new york. "the times" reports that the president wanted to know if the prosecutor, he had hand picked for that u.s. attorney job in that office could please take over the cohen investigation. so that is a serious allegation about the president trying to interfere in that prosecution of his long-time lawyer. a prosecution in which the president himself is allegedly implicated in some of the felonies to which cohen has confessed. but the question is still hanging over matt whitaker, did the white house let him know the president was not happy about the cohen investigation as "the times" reports tonight or cnn reported in december. is the chairman correct in challenging whitaker's testimony? jerry's letter has gone unanswered but we're told tonight that they think matthew whitaker might reply and then again we expected him t

quoting from "the times." michael d. cohen, president trump's former lawyer and fixer, met last month with federal prosecutors in manhattan, offering information about possible irregularities within the president's family business. also about a donor to the inaugural committee. quote, mr. cohen, who worked at the trump organization for a decade, spoke with the prosecutors about insurance claims the trump organization had filed over the years. "the times" is citing, quote, people familiar with the matter. "the times" says that these people familiar with the matter, quote, did not elaborate on the nature of the possible irregularities at the trump organization that mr. cohen has been talking to prosecutors about. but remember, these are the same prosecutors who already got michael cohen to plead guilty to those campaign finance felonies in which they said the president himself was implicated and in which at least in one instance the money for those campaign finance felonies appears to have been basically laundered through t

of the time that the reason that. we. are free well custom is deputy director of the way omo foundation which promotes the international criminal justice system he says but both still faces jail time on other charges. the acquittal itself may not have that significant of been a fact what would have a very significant of effect is of course if you are on back the returns at the ivory coast and in particular if you re enters the politico arena that it's quite likely but it's actually unclear it's quite likely that he would enter the political arena if he returned but it's unclear whether he would actually return to the ivory coast at this at this point one thing of note is that despite the fact that the i.c.c. acquitted well there is still an arrest warrant that was issued in i read caused an international arrest warrant issued for him for the misappropriation of funds and should he be convicted for charges that arrest warrant speaks to he could face up to twenty years in prison venezuela's opposition leader has rejected an

it is pretty obvious that the whole purpose is just to eat up floor time. i think anytime you consider a rule change, you ought to think about when the shoe is on the other foot. so, let's imagine a president, amy klobuchar >> that's going to really help me with my bass. thank you. >> in 2021, and a democratic majority. in the senate. as chairman -- pointed out previously, our view at that point is going to be, well, we should act just like you did in the previous congress. so the genie never gets back in the bottle. whatever the new practice is, becomes the practice in the future. regardless of who is in the white house, and regardless of what the majority is in the senate. i just don't think it's fair in any way to continue the practice that we have seen on full display here. so, i think what chairman blunt is recommending is in the best interest of the senate. i have heard that a number of members of the democratic party are all for it, provided it takes effect in 2021. i can understand that. but, we are where we are. and, now, with regard to judges, we t

the values are still good for the time of year. n the north still, double figures for the south. it is this area of high pressure we are watching as big a deep into next week. it starts to build its way back in. they returned to dry and settled weather on tuesday, once any early rain has cleared away from the south—east. areas of cloud, maybe fog and frosty start of the day as well. temperatures doing pretty well at 9— well. temperatures doing pretty well at 9- 12 well. temperatures doing pretty well at 9— 12 degrees. it looks like high pressure is going to dominate as we had deeper into next week. the high likely to build close to the british isles. some uncertainty about how close it will get, probably close enough to keep these frontal systems at bay. the jet stream staying to the west of the british isles. we are back to where we started. the jet stream to the west and mild air wafting its way back up from the south. to sum up for next week, it is generally going to stay quite mild. certainly by day. the notes could be quite chi

place at the wrong wrong time. on the french to the east -- on , it wasge to the east where the black community had their businesses. it is kind of a divider because there are railroad tracks. springfield was no exception. on one side were white folks and on the other side work black folks. >> how large was the black population? >> about 2500 folks. we were about 5% of the population at the time. why did they go after the barber? barbering was one of the few havethat a black man could and be self-employed. i always thought it was interesting that he cut hair and shaved black people as well as white people. it was with a straight razor and he was cutting the hair of white folks and he could slit a lot of throats. that was kindht of oxymoronic. and his home, he lived over the barbershop. the house is gone. it was the home of mr. donegan. he was 84 years old. he was married to a woman who just happened to be white. they had been married for 20 years if not longer. they lived in this area. mob came this far, which is fa
