the treaties are between the united states and native nations. and the treaties and this exhibit reflect that reality about the treaties. all of the nations had land. no one brought any land with them when they came across the atlantic ocean. no one brought any european land. there was no american land. there was only native land. and that land belonged to the native nations and to the peoples who were the citizens of the native nations. the european nations entered into treaties with the native nations, who had been making treaties amongst each other for millennia. this was a continuation of that for native peoples. and it was a continuation of treaties that the europeans had. although, in europe, mostly the treaties meant an end to the war. here, even though there were in most instances no wars, it meant peace and friendship that you would be allies going forward. you would have this friendship as a continuum. and the treaties really represent that relationship. they're the evidence of that relationship. they're a marker in time. but the relatio

quite and the importance of these protests in the united states? ortant because from the border, we can demand enrique peÑa nieto to present the 43 students. bringerto, i want to roberto back into this discussion. for people who aren't following the story of the disappeared students, they were teaching students, learning to be teachers. >> they were teachers called [indiscernible] they're very engaged directly with the communities and their only crime was to demand a better life for people in mexico. that is the only thing that they did. if that is a crime in mexico, we need to stop the people calling it a crime. >> as the search goes on for them, mass graves and bodies have been found all over. is that right? in mexico? >> if you talk to people in mexico, you hear the story all the time from parents, heartbreaking stories, searching for their children in mass graves, not knowing if they are in there. i have seen mass graves like in central america. when you smell that, you smell the decomposing flesh in the soil, you listen to those grieving parent

the united states trying to reopen the embassy. we are learning about these discussions that have taken place over the last year, and a key player in this, the vatican and pope francis. allen has arrived just outside of washington. the white house very careful to point out that this is not any kind of intelligence assets swap. they continue to deny that alan gross was there as a u.s. intelligence agent. he was arrested some five years ago on charges of espionage, and he has languished. his health has deteriorated. and here we have the president arriving, david. >> let's listen. >> the most significant changes in our policy in more than 50 years. we will end an outdated approach that for decades has failed, and we will begin to normalize the relationship between our two countries. we'll begin a new chapter among the nations of the americas. there is a complicated history between the united states and cuba. i was born in 1961, just over two years after fidel castro took power. over the next several decades the relationships between o

the united states is south korea's ally. china is not an ally. it's a very important partner of south korea that's not an ally. they covered these issues in the various microscopic issues but i have some microscopic questions based on the human rights issues the general assembly was recommending the prosecution of the leaders at the international court even though they s.

the last vote at the united nations on this question of an embargo of the united states, the united ates was on the short end of that by a count of 192-2. so the president saying that you do something for five decades, it is clearly not working it's time to change strategy. what a dramatic event for the president, to be on the phone for 45 minutes last night with raul castro, the first and really only communication we know about in some five decades. >> indeed. jamie if memory serves me directly, president obama had an impromptu handshake with raul castro at nelson mandela's funeral this year. but this is taking a lot of people by surprise. >> and one of the things that people are debating is what did the united states actually get out of this deal? that was part of the criticism from marco rubio, and one benefit the u.s. right reap from this, is support from many of the countries in this hemisphere as mike viqueira pointed out, the u.s. was pretty much alone in the world in supporting this embargo. and it was a problem for other countries in central and south america, because whenev

because the united states owns 30% of the bank, the united states could deny a core rum for any such meeting and effectively, the united states has a veto. i would have a difficult time managing a situation where every other country wants cuba to become a member except the united states. they call for a governor's meeting and everyone comes to washington, d.c. and the united states does not show up. so, again, the united states does have a effective of cuba becoming a member. now, this assumes that majority of other countries would want cuba to become a member. now, section 104 of helmburton also provides that in a case where cuba is a member and a sloan or other assistance is provided to cuba, contrary to the vote of the u.s. representative -- let's say in this case it would be the u.s. representative executive at the ibd, what the law requires the treasury department to do, is to cut back cuba's contributions to the capital of the bank by an amount equivalent to the value of that loan or assistance. so, say 10 million dollar loan to cuba to do whatever, the u.s. government opposes

god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> the president of the united states speaking for about 15 minutes, critically important 15 minutes, announcing the most sweeping dramatic change in u.s./cuban relations since 1961 during the cuban revolution, confirming that he did speak on the phone yesterday with the cuban president, raul castro, also confirming the u.s. and cuba are now about to go forward and establish full diplomatic relations including embassies in havana and here in washington, d.c. even as the president was speaking, raul castro was addressing the cuban people in cuba. i want to play a clip. here is raul castro speaking exactly at the same time, making this announcement to the cuban people. >> translator: equally, we have recommended re-establishment of diplomatic relations. this doesn't mean that the main issues have been resolved. the economic blockade as well as commercial and finance creates some economic damages to our own country, it must stop. despite the blockade, measures have become law, the president of the united states may be able to modify

there is accommodated history between the united states and cuba. was born in 1961, just over two years after fidel castro took power in cuba, and just a few months after the bay of pigs invasion. over the next several decades, relationship between our countries played out against the backdrop of the cold war. we are separated by just over 90 miles. but year after year, and ideological and economical barrier hardened between our two countries. meanwhile, the cuban exile in the united states made enormous constitutions to our country -- and politics, in business, culture and sports. like immigrants before, cubans help to remake america. even as they felt a painful yearning for their land and families they left behind. all of this bound america and a unique relationship. proudly, united states has supported democracy and human through these five decades. done so, primarily, through policies that americans can enjoy anywhere else. although this policy has been rooted in the best of intentions, no other nation joint is an imposing the sanctions. little y

it's a big player, not the united states. nkly, in the last week, vladimir putin has looked like a statesman. >> he's a partner in peace. and he's in a position he can lecture the united states of america. >> i think if this were a tennis match it would be the umpire saying adventure putin. >> i think putin has outperformed our president. >> putin decides what he wants to do and does it in half a day. he makes a decision and executes it quickly. then everybody reacts. that's what you call a leader. >> putin is playing chess. we're playing marbles. >> i think mike rogers was right yesterday. he said the president is playing marbles while putin is playing chess. >> the conservative line on vladimir putin is he puts our own american president to shame in smarts and leadership and decisiveness and putin is playing chess while president obama is playing something that doesn't even happen on a chess board. putin makes up his mind and does it in half a day. vladimir. american conservatives have kept up this strange love song for puti

i think the united states is responding to this. i was in cuba a year ago, and the level of discontent and the level of people speaking about even beheading generals was very, very open. i think that we are living and looking at this precarious situation, hopefully what this will do is that it will at least put the ball in the cuban government's court, and i think the president said they're not letting up in terms of saying that it's important to respect human rights, to open up the economy, and to allow families to work with each other. >> ambassador, apart from the optics and rewarding or not rewarding the regime do political makers worry about rafters coming on to the florida shore and there are thousands-- >> absolutely. there are a lot of considerations that people discuss when discussing changes and "n" policy. i think there will be a movement of people if the doors are hope. however, i think with a possible change--with the change in policy more information getting to the island, people hopefully, and maybe this is me being op

pakistan and the united nations security council. it's chief is in charge of the group and has been since 2013. his predecessor was killed in an u.s. drone attack. his time at the top has been defined by internal fighting both between tribesmen and those who want to join isil. >> they do see things differently. the afghan taliban came out and condemned the school attack this week saying it goes against their principles. just before the break christine you wanted to make a point . >> yes, one thing that we have to keep in mind many of the pronouncements in english have given the suggestion that they've rally against the tt: if you look at the different narratives, the narrative that is coming out of pakistan's media is that the indians did this attack. it's very hard for me to believe that they've turned a new leaf when there has been this fracturing of the narrowture to suggest indian culpability. i do a lot of large survey work to understand the determinants of support for terrorism, one of the things that we consistently find is thi

>> guest: the united states has about 700 bases around the world at least reported by the pentagon. and there is in the last ten to 20 years we've seen more and work protests in opposition to u.s. military presence abroad and so i'm looking at two questions. one is with all of this activism when do they make a difference and actually affect the policy and the second question is about the host governments. on the one hand they face pressure from civil society as a domestic level but they also face pressure from the united states to maintain the obligations so i want to know how the balance between the two forces domestic and international. >> host: when you look at these bases around the world that the u.s. has, how many of them are welcomed? >> guest: the majority of them are welcomed, so you are you're looking at if there are 700 bases there are probably more. it's just the secret bases. it's hard to say whether they are welcomed but the host government accepts them. but i say at least 75% are not contested. the majority are in place like germany or mainland japan. but the few that

the air support will be the united states. and with the setup of safe whats in northern iraq, became a crisis becomes an opportunity for success. we largely save the refugees starving and freezing in the mountains. the exact opposite happens. you can tell from the picture there. we become the good guys again. we save the refugees ultimately. we have an opportunity to feel good about ourselves. we are defining ourselves in positive ways. if we start at this moment and look at the literature coming out of the united nations -- boutros boutros-ghali, agenda for peace. eventually candidate, then president bill clinton talking about using the united nations in different ways. some type of rapid reaction force. the secretary-general calling for a standing army. maybe this can be replicated. maybe there's something we can learn about ourselves. the conflicts are continuing. interstate conflict begins to die off. notice the red here. intrastate conflict is going up and up and up. are challenging us, challenging this purpose. we start f

cia did not conduct such interrogations on the territory of the united states. because it respected the law of the u.s. it did not have such respect for the polish law and those in power in poland did not respect polish sovereignty. unfortunately, our trust has been abused and the image of the u.s. is no longer positive. >> thank you, colleague. for 1.5 minutes now. cecilia. >> thank you. well, the word is appalling to describe these brutal inhuman , torture methods that were used by the cia against the prisoners. disgusting is the word that best describes the cia leaders, 's way of sweeping away the accusations. what has been discovered is a reminder of the existing impunity for the many terrible crimes against human rights which the u.s. is justifying in the name of the international security. just like so many times four, before, when the effects of the torture have been investigated, it shows that the methods are useless. but whatever the security or results, we have to say it once again -- torture, under no circumstances, is acceptable and the international

the present unit two bedrooms op the one unit and studio in the little downstairs in-law unit. now is a studio living room consider a bedroom or not? staff is apparently saying that it is because they are saying that the new project doesn't have more bedrooms than was the case before. what is the interpretation of what a "bedroom" is? >> i don't know there needs to be an [tp-erpgs/] on what a "bedroom" is and the department of building inspection has their requirements of what a "bedroom" is. "bedroom" you can have a studio with sleeping space in it and one-bedroom apartment with a separate area from living/dining and other area. i have to admit i'm not entirely clear on the questioning. >> when you or another member of the staff did not -- said the project does not -- is not conforming by adding more bedrooms, because you claimed that in your report, that there were already three bedrooms. there were two bedrooms on the top and a studio room, which is being used as a bedroom on the bottom. so therefore, i thought i interpreted it to be three afterward, two before. and that is i

but the united states has an equivalent of it. america was kind of weird -- well, america still is weird. but part of its weirdness was the idea that could you have states that were neighbors, and normally the traditional idea was that your neighbor was always going to be your worst enemy, why? who's going to steal your stuff first? it's your neighbor. look at ukraine and russia today. it's your neighbor you have to look out for. so the united states formed an arbitrational -- if that's a word -- process by creating a federal government, designed to corral states that otherwise might come to blows. the last principle is the principle of transparency. i'd like to show mikhail gorbachev. glasnost was the policy of gorbachev, not because they had lost the cold war. and this has become a transnational value. have you noticed the swiss have been in trouble in recent years because they're not transparent in their banks? the criticism you can make of anybody is you are insufficiently transparent. we all go, whoa, that's not good. this is

we're the united states. we're not some small country halfway around the world we're the most powerful country on the planet, we're their closest neighbor. their number one priority of the cuban government is to affect u.s. foreign policy towards cuba and you see this consistently reflected in the people they try to influence in academia and the editorials that have now been a steady stream of editorials in the "new york times" and the folks that are walking around the cabal here and the members and colleagues of mine that are constantly being reached out to by the regime. -to-try to get them on their side for these changes there's a reason for that. they know if they can open up u.s. markets they will have american companies investment in the status quo in cuba. and what you're going to have now is american companies doing business in cuba advocating here for us not to do anything to disrupt the status quo because it's good for their bottom line. and i know that to be true because last week we passed a bill h

we have believed in the idea of the united states before it was the fathers who founded the united states looked for a governing structure that truthssupport the t that they thought were self evident, they looked to the air quite nation. without indian nations living together in harmony, even when we disagree, the promise of america might not have come together. we come back here year after year, sometimes for me it's week after week, because even when all of the pundits and maybe all the evidence say that the president cannot do anything and the congress won't do anything, we still believe in the constitution that says treaties are the supreme law of the land. sometimes i think indians believe in our constitution more than anybody else. in a way, by continuing to believe that what the constitution says is true and acting to show that the words in our treaties matter, by calling this great nation to keep its word, we refute all the skeptics. we answer the question i posed at the beginning -- is the united states a great nation? is that while our history in this nation might be brutally pa

and as the united states and the european union, we can raise these issues with the united states on eral occasions. including in lessons by the presidency of the council and regular dialogue on counterterrorism and on human rights. the select committee study is a positive step in confronting publicly and critically the way in which the cia's responsibilities were discharged in relations to the allegations of torture and ill-treatment. the commission believes that full clarity should be brought to bear on those practices in accordance with international standards, including as regards the individual responsibilities for those practices. the eu condemns all forms of torture and ill-treatment under any circumstances, and works towards the prevention and the eradication of all forms of torture and ill-treatment within the european union and worldwide, as a priority of its human rights policy. as the commission has repeatedly underlined, efforts to combat terrorism should be conducted in a manner that complies with the root of law -- rule of law and respect our common values and complies

there is a complicated history between the united states and cuba. i was born in 1961, just over two years after fidel castro and just ain cuba few months after the bay of pigs invasion, which try to overthrow its regime. over the next several decades, the relationship between our countries against the backdrop of the cold war, and america's steadfast conviction against communism. separated by over 90 miles, but year after year, and ideological and economic barrier hardened between our two countries. meanwhile, the qnx community in -- the cuban exile community in the united states made enormous contributions to our country, in politics, business, culture, and sports. like immigrants before, cubans help to remake america. even as they felt a painful yearning for their land and families they left behind. all of this bound america and cuba in a unique relationship. flooe.family and proudly, united states has supported democracy and human rights in cuba through these five decades. we have done so, primarily, through policies that americans can enjoy anywh

the united states is conducting air strikes, how have u.s. air strikes affected the flow of foreign fighters into syria? if it has. >> with my sense looking at the numbers is that it's hard to say at this point that what the impact is, it is relatively soon after these strikes have taken place, the numbers that we monitor, the numbers that we track, are estimates at best, and again i think it's probably early to determine precisely what the impact is, it's obviously precisely what the impact is. it's obviously something, again, that our intelligence community is looking at, and it's possible that in a classified briefing they might be able to give you their assessment. again, from my perspective, the numbers, again, can vary for a variety of reasons. sometimes it's because we get better information from our partners. and that results in an increase in the estimate. >> so we don't know if it's effective or not? >> i would say that if the issue is effective in reducing the flow of foreign fighters i would say at this point i would want to see mo

that information -- should the united states offer him an incentive to come back and testify? know.o not one of the things he did that really bothers me to this day is the cause of the information that he's stolen at some of it was leaked, we believe some of it is moving around to different intelligence services. to do with force protection the men and women who serve in uniform. for sure -- iou can't tell you that some of our mac for trying to collect information to protect them and places has been and makesy that theft their lives were at risk because of that. >> has anything happened to anybody because of the snowden to report as far as we know? can't say because we do not have this particular collection and something happened and if you recall what happened in afghanistan with the bombing attacks. i can tell you before that, collection we cannot get because there were changes made based on material that's -- that's no install. i cannot tell you for sure that's why it got through. -- that snowden stole. of attacks. wave i do not know how far we have to draw this line. that's

he is being flown to the united states. he has been imprisoned there for five years after being sentenced to 15 years by the cuban government. gross claimed he was in cuba providing internet equipment to allow the jewish community to contact the world in ways that are hard to do in cuba. the cuban government claimed he was involved in activities counter to the cuban government that he was providing military equipment. he was arrested convicted and sentenced to 15 years. the five years in prison have been very tough. he has deteriorated in terms of his health. he is said to be in very poor health. he's lost a lot of weight. he's missing teeth. he is in quiet bad shape. there's been pressure from the u.s. government to release him and that has happened today on humanitarian grounds. recently, president obama said it was important to do this to help improve relations with cuba. former president bill clinton was here in miami saying the same thing last week saying the release of alan gross could lead to better relations with cub

all of the larger units, the the 3 and 4 bedroom units will be accessible either from the ground level or directly from the podium and this is also the same for phases one and two. i just wanted to kind of pause a little bit on this slide and show you the importance of this corner. again, i don't think it it can be over emphasized that this is the first view people will have when they approach the new development so it was very important for us we worked a lot with ocii ocii staff to really get this corner right so the main entrance into block one is on this corner -- i'll show you a little bit more when we actually get to the ground floor slide again and i'll talk about this a little bit more we do have a special material for this particular building with the introduction of bricks to kind of highlight that a little bit more. >> this rendering shows the building as if you are standing at the corner of arelious walker drive and donner avenue so on the on the left-hand side of the slide where you see kind of the buildings going away from you, objection , opposite of that that will be ph

by which we established the united states of america. think about the un resolution 16-18 and how that is classifying certain speech against certain religions to be seditious and you could be open to criminal punishment. those are the types of things we have to be concerned about. the united states is a sovereign state and when you have people don't believe we have a border that should be protected, that should cause you a lot of concern. that does not say that we as americans are not benevolent. we are the most benevolent people in the world but the founding fathers wrote in three different parts of the constitution where they call it repeling invitations, article 1 section 8 ♪ stating clearly we have borders the have to be protected so it is not just the physical border but economic borders, borders where all of a sudden the united nations are talking about how we deal with our children so that is a big concern so you have to start looking for that. the agenda xxi and skull and bones. i don't know about secret harvard stuff. i went to a

and god bless the united states of america. president obama earlier today president obama earlier today. we want to say that we are going to show you all the reactions today at it :00 p.m. eastern. presidentter the spoke. otter -- governor -- marcoed mark rubio rubio spoke. >> one of my greatest hope is to see the people of cuba to become free. that is exactly why today's announcements from the white house is so profound a disappointing. it is a victory for the oppressive cuban government. and a serious setback for the repressed cubans. the white house has conceded everything, and gained little. they gain no commitment on the part of the cuban regime on freedom of press, or freedom of speech, or elections. no binding commitment was made to truly open up the internet. no commitment was made to allow the establishment of political parties, or to even begin the semblance of a transition to democracy. and in exchange for all of these concessions, the only thing the cuban government agreed to do this free fifty-three political prison

in 1961 the united states severed diplomatic relations. challenges the commission of wisdom and perpetual animosity between the two countries. it is called back channel to cuba, the hidden history between washington and havana. it reveal a 50 year record of dialogue and negotiations both open and furtive between those sworn enemies. joining me are the book's authors peter kombluh and william leogrande. peter is of the archive and william leogrande isku at the american university. i'm pleased to have both of them here. let me just talk about the beginning. what were the lost opportunities? why have we not had better relationship with cuba after all these years? >> we've missed a couple opportunities. there was an opportunity at the very beginning for the united states to coexist with fidel castro's revolution. we had an ambassador in havana who worked very hard to try in 1959 and 1960 to see if he could find common ground for coexistence. that didn't work. relations were broken in 1961. after the missile crises, there was an opportunity beca

the cuban people would like to have normal relations with the united states. it's the cuban government who has managed to make the united states and what they call blockade, the embargo a justification for almost anything for all the misery that has fallen the cuban people over the 50 years. there is no way of understanding as i'm sure david knows, how hard it is to live for the average cuban, how hard it is to get to work. how hard it is to get an education. how hard it is to get food, which in many ways many people think that the cuban government was overflown, it's so hard you can't think about overthrowing the cuban government. >> that is something that we will not hear from from critics to this policy. they say it will only embolden the regime who is holding it's own people captive in its country. let's go to michael shure, who has more on this announcement from president obama that the united states is normalizing relations with cuba. take it away. >> yes, david, you heard big talk about how john boehner said this is not the time for it. harried, the outg

because the european union is working hand-in-hand with united states. both economically -- we are current to obtain the free trade agreement behind closed doors. also, politically, the european union is reacting to the invitation of the united states and this takes europe into a cold war and potentially it might culminate in a real war with russia. if you do not like the breaches of human rights -- and i am glad you do not like them -- shouldn't we pick a better friend instead of the united states? and protect hungry, my country, and the rest of europe from the cold war and real war. >> thank you. we know company individual speakers and -- now come to the individual speakers and i will be stricter on time, we have a lengthy list. the first speaker, two minutes. >> torture carried out by the cia is a subject of public opinion in the united states for many years. the publication of the senate select committee report last week confirms this. confirmed the split that exists in the political class in the united states, the democrats and the republicans are de

there is a complicated history between the united states and cuba. i was born in 1961. just over two years after fidel castro took power in cuba and just a few months after the bay of pigs invasion which tried to over throw his regime. over the next couple of decades the relationship played out in the backdrop of the cold car. we are separated by just ninety mile bus year after year a ideological and economic barrier hardened between our two countries. meanwhile the cuban exile community in the united states made enormous contributions to our country. in politics, in business, culture and sports. like immigrants before, cubans helped remake america. even as they felt a painful yearning for the land and families they left behind. all of this bound america and cuba in a unique relationship. at once, family and foe. proudly the united states has supported human rights in cuba through these five decades. we've done so primarily through policies that aimed to isolate the island. preventing the most basic travel and commerce that americans can enjoy any place else. and though

it's not the scenario that the united states has war gamed out extensively. ey expected cyberattacks make be something to hit the pentagon or financial markets or critical u.s. infrastructure but to pull hollywood studios e-mails and have a devastating impact on a hollywood studio and hit a core american principle like freedom of speech wasn't in a lot of the play books so there isn't really a developed response plan sitting on a shelf somewhere that they can pull down and say this is what we're going to do. all of the options here for the united states are very very tricky including retaliation in full cyber war fashion against the north koreans because united states company versus a lot more at stakes here than north korean industry does. >> just thinking. let me come back to you on the idea that diplomatically they're going to reach out across asia and in particular to the chinese to consult on what they should do with north korea. am i right in suggesting that in the past china has to an extend stood by or shielded north corr korea and if you were going to

the united states is a pacific power. we have a vital interest in freedom of navigation and overflight in these disputed areas which are vital to economic security and lawful commerce in the region. these are universal rights, i want to repeat that. these are universal rights. not rights granted by some states to others. not rights that china thinks it can dominate and be aggressive in terms of claiming the seas as its own, even though many of those seas are literally thousands of miles away from mainland china. tensions in the east and south china sea have been stredstedly increasing for the last several years. provocations have become bolder and more freak and little progress has been made on a code of conduct in the south china sea to establish rules of the road among them. when i went there more than a year ago with chairman royce we were told by the government of the philippines and japan that they were very, very concerned with what china has been doing in claiming. but the united states does not take sides in these
