the president has in the past spoken in the united states senate. the last several months as all of you have noted has been able to attract a large part of the democrats. that is a good thing for the party. and the president is pleased that there is some enthusiasm and excitement on display about a variety of candidates on the democratic field and that is going to lead to a robust debate and strong candidate and democratic party. >> and last if the vice president chooses not to - pic i don't know. the vice president or the president elect >> as i said before i don't know if the president will offer an endorsement of democratic primary. if he chooses to do so he will announce it at that point. >> the vice president's calculations will feel a little bit different right now but i don't know at this point whether or not if he were to decide not to run whether or not he would've made a decision to publicly endorse one of the candidates. >> thanks everybody. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >>

meaning by the united states. so the editors make it clear that the united states is exceptional. is a rogue state, indifferent to international law and conventions, entitled to resort to violence at will. but the editors can't be faulted for that stand because it is honest universal among the political class in this exceptional nation, though what it means is, again, one of those things it wouldn't do to say. sometimes the doctrine takes quite a remarkable form. and not just on the right, by any means. take for example, the clinton doctrine. namely, the united states is free to resort to unilateral use of military power, even for such purposes as to ensure uninhibited access to key markets, energy supplies, and strategic resources. let alone security or alleged humanitarian concerns. and adherence to this doctrine is very well confirmed and practiced as need hardly be discussed among people willing to look at the facts of current history. "the washington post" editors also make clear why the united states should be prepared to take such extreme steps in its role of international p

work ofr part of the the united nations, most of the work of the united nations is funded by involuntary contributions, mainly from governments. that covers a whole range of emergency, developing relief, food and support to refugees. the split is 60% to the voluntary contributions and 40% to the assessed contributions, which is more or less half and half between the peacekeeping on the one hand and the mandatory standards of the work of the united nations undertakes. host: if you look at breakdowns of the contributions, the united states is on top of that list with over $600 million. as well as japan, germany and france. the figures that you are looking at there, they are related to a formula. the formula is more or less related to the worth of a gross tos related to messick product. corrects the percentage, it would be a higher percentage that the united states pays, but it is important that no one country should pay over 25%, so the top level was ,educed and at the bottom level so the countries at the bottom, it ended up being that they should pay much less than they should pay. there

the united states has been an ally with nato countries in gove governing now it's manage the. oath we need this to determine how the u.s. is involved in govern of course, how to deal with russia. there's a fact that russia is claiming the land. >> they are doing this legally, through a mechanism that the united states worked hard to get set up in the united nations, that president obama, president bush, the u.s. chamber of commerce things the u.s. should sign. where does your objection come from? >> the u.n. then gets to make a lot of decisions that federal government and congress should make in respect of to resources, how they should be allocated, and the factoring that we can work in li lateral, multilalterral agreements to ensure a secure and safe arctic and take advantage of the opportunities there are in terms of resource development, maintaining strong environmental records. we can accomplish the objectives without signing the treaty. signing the treaty takes away too much sovereignty and accomplish little. >> in this particular instance, where this treaty exists, 116 n

we are live in the unit nations. a big year, john, tell us more about it. >> well, it's always a big year here. you know that. there's always a news headline to come out of the leaders week of the united nation emassembly of which today is the first day in the 70th session and this year round, it appears to be syria and the reason is that president obama is going to sit down with president putin of russia for the first time in more than a year, sit down together and they're going to have talks initially about ukraine, we were told, but now we think more likely to be about syria. here's the background. the president and other western leaders, such as david cameron in the united kingdom, the prime minister there have been calling now since 2012 for president bashar al assad of syria -- this is the secretary walking in live at the moment to the united nations, that's john kerry, the secretary of state walking into the building. this is the entrance where all the key leaders come in ahead of the general assembly. western

the united states is not immune from this. and our troops have largely returned from iraq and afghanistan, we see in our debates about america's role in the world, a notion of strength that is defined by opposition to old enemies, perceived adversaries, a rising china, a resurge anlgeant russia, an ira that's incompatible with peace. we see an argument made that the only strength that matters for the united states is bellicose words and shows of military force. but cooperation and diplomacy will not work. as president of the united states, i am mindful of the dangers that we face. they cross my desk every morning. i lead the strongest military that the world has ever known and i will never hesitate to protect my country or our allies unilaterally and by force where necessary. but i stand before you today believing in my core that we, the nations of the world, cannot return to the old ways of conflict and coercion. we cannot look backwards. we live in an integrated world, one in which we all have a stake in each other's success.

that's the president of the united states. i'd like i'd like to point out there are several influential leaders of the president's own party that are opposed to this deal and they include some of this chambers most respected members in the field of foreign affairs. first of all, the ranking member of the foreign relation committee, senator cardin. he pointed out in his remarks when he said he would vote against excuse me or for the dissolution. under this agreement they are permitted to a level that can take down extremely close to breakdown legally. clearly the senator from maryland makes known that he shares the concerns many of us have expressed that this deal leaves too much of iran's nuclear structure intact and legitimizes their nuclear program which was our national policy to oppose. then then the senior senator from new york, senator schumer, perhaps perhaps one of the members on that side of the aisle whose vote was most anticipated before he announced it, he announced he is for the resolution of disapproval. he. he sa

the united states. it's an international issue. it's an international agreement. can a government become a signatory to an international agreement, and then the subsequent government tear it to shreds? this is something only the likes of saddam hussein would do. any government that replaces the current government must keep itself committed to the commitments given by the previous administration. otherwise, that government, that entire country, will lose trust internationally. >> so, wolf, the president of iran, scathing about the notion of any future government could tear up an international agreement, which is cemented in a u.n. security council resolution. also saying, quite clearly, that assad will stay and this is the plan for the moment. i also, to obviously, asked him about the four americans, including our colleague, who is still stuck in iranian jails. >> "washington post" correspondent. >> indeed. he seemed to indicate that a prisoner swap would be the way to unlock this because there are severa

do you believe the united states is the great satan?uhani: the enmity that existed between the united states and iran over the decades, the distance, the disagreements, the lack of trust, will not go away soon. what's important is which direction we are heading. are we heading towards amplifying the enmity or decreasing this enmity? i believe we have taken the first steps towards decreasing this enmity. >> kroft: do you think the united states is the "great satan?" >> rouhani: satan, in our religious parlance, is used to refer to that power that tricks others and whose words are not clear words, do not match reality. what i can say is that the u.s. has made many mistakes in the past regarding iran, and must make up for those mistakes. >> kroft: i'm sure you realize that it is difficult for many americans to get past the fact that president obama has signed an agreement with a country that says, "death to america, death to israel." how do you explain this? what are they to make of it? are they to take it literally? is this for domestic,

we are listening here at the united nations in manhattan. west address begins you will see it live as we after he wait an enormous day with the 78-year-old pontiff, the holy father in manhattan. bill: a fox news alert. the pope schedule already under way in new york city. we await the address before the united nations general assembly. what will he say? how will he address some of the most significant issues facing the world today. yesterday when he went to the west side of the capitol building he said, i "you all to please pray for me, and if you cannot fray, i ask you to send good wishes my way. similar to what he said when he was announced as pope when his first words were pray for me. we were discussing earlier the challenge the world leaders and how you have get them to act. yesterday i did a series of radio interviews for a special we are running tonight on the fox news channel on faith in america. we've reflect on all times of religions in america. some of the hosts of the radio program were asked me about the pope's address in congres

states provided by public notification to the united nations security council, that the united statess using force against isil in syria in the collective self-defense of iraq and in u.s. national self-defense consistent with article 51 of the u.n. charter. it may have been a year since we talked about this but the concern that we have long had -- and i think it was -- this was a concern that was justified, is that isil would use the chaos inside of syria to establish a safe haven and use that safe haven inside of syria to expand their operations into iraq and that's what we saw they did in the summer of 2014 and that is what has precipitated the kind of action that the united states military and our coalition partners have taken inside of syria and this's entirely consistent with article 51 of the united nations charter. >> would the coalition, the u.s.-led coalition, if it differs dramatically with the russians over a choice of targeting, what the aims are, the strategy, is the u.n. then the body that the united states and russia would disagree together? would appeal to the u.n. bas

there's a great deal of anxiety in the united kingdom. it's quite wrong to portray before the deal was actually -- there was a debate in parliament and a very large number of my colleagues attended and spoke very forcibly about the potential problems that it might create. we've had, because of parliamentary tame table, we had very little opportunity to discuss it, but i would find it very unlikely that there were no parliamentary debate on the subject and if the debate doesn't occur in government time, it can happen in back benches time. parliamentary time is not determined. i would mention that there will be a high of such a debate. again, i just make the point that i open with that it's extremely disappointing that this whole issue has had so little coverage in the british media, where arriving on the u.s. it's on virtually on every political program. that's something that i intend to help to override. >> first question from the audience. >> thank you very much. i have -- [inaudible] >> my question is that the debate on this issue f you

in the united states. xt day their majesties travel to washington, the capital of the united states. a gentle rain falls on the city is our king joint united states president john f. kennedy for a ceremonial welcome on the lawn of the presidential residence. together, the two leaders review the honor guard. servicesents all five of the united states, the army, the navy, the air force, the marine corps, and the united states coast guard. they express their mutual respect. although distant from each other, our countries are as one in our people's desire to maintain independence, to live in freedom, and to look to the future with hope. because his wife is ill, president kennedy has asked his sister, wife of the director of the united states peace corps, to act as official hostess. embassy's majesty himself entertains. he meets the chief justice of the united states and many other leading members of the national government. their majesties meet many friends of the afghan people during their visit to washington

the united nations is unique in its legitimacy, representation, and universallality. it is true that the u.n. has been widely criticized for supposedly not being efficient enough and for the fact that the decision making on fundamental issues draw to insurmountable differences, first of all among the security council. however, i would like to point out that there have always been differences in the u.n. throughout all these 70 years of existence. the rights have always been exercised by the united states, the united kingdom, france, china, the soviet union, and it is natural for diverse and representative an organization. when the u.n. was established its founders did not in the least think that there would always be unity. the strength of taking different views and opinions in consideration, but decisions debated within the u.n. are either taken as resolutions or not. they are to pass or not pass. what are the actions any state might take by passing this procedure are illegitimate. the u.n. charter and would defy the international law. we all know after the end of the

about how what one of his team described as a bomb shell speech to the united nations. as we go to james bayes, reading the speech, james, i have the speech here and then listening to him deliver it, it would appear to me that he is effectively ripping up the oslo agreement. we declare as long as israel refuses to commitment to the agreement signed with us, they leave us no choice but than to insist we will not remain the only ones, we cannot continue to be bound by these agreements. is oslo dead? >> reporter: it seems to be. some would say oslo has been dead for a long time. but he is making a very important statement here, those oslo according which gave the palestinians a measure of self rule, different amounts of rule in different parts of their territory, they are basically saying, well, israel didn't comply, israel was the one that broke the oslo according, so we are not going to accept them anymore, and we are going to now demand that israel takes on its responsibility as the occupying power. that by implication, i think means that israel would inevitably be respo

a wave of migration headed towards the united states. it might seem counterintuitive that after the thou in cold war legses between washington. fears that a relationship will change u.s. policy, making it harder to get citizenship in the states triggered the outflow. a group with skill sets found themselves stranded neither in the united states, but in bogota columbia. sheila macvicar met them there. >> in this cramped apartment a cuban doctor, nurses and a pharmacist await words from the u.s. embassy. they are among 700 personnel that fled to bogota, seeking visas to come to the united states. visas they thought the u.s. promised under a programme designed to undermine the castro regime. with the two countries normalizing relations, whether they make it to the u.s. is uncertainty. this doctor has been waiting four months. >> translation: i think they did break their promise to us. >> the cubans are in limbo. they are here illegally. returning to cuba is not a one-ishment. there they -- not an option. >> reporter: could you go back and sa

no need for the congress of the united states. no involvement of the american people through their representatives in congress to weigh in on one of the most important foreign policy issues in a generation. so this body acted. this body acted. again through the leadership of many people on both sides of the aisle, senator corker, senator cardin, we passed legislation 98 senators. said no, congress has a role. congress should have a role. the president said i'm going to veto that. we don't want you involved. i'm going to veto that. this body came together and said we want to be able to vote on this, on this agreement. we are constituents -- our constituents want to be heard. there were more affronts, the united nations voted before the senate even started debating on this bill. both parties, democrats and republicans went to house white house, talked to senator kerry, don't do this, this would be an affront to the american people. they did it anyway. now wife come to this moment. the security council and its member states have voted

you will speak to the united nations with a much anticipated address. first time you've been there in a number of years. what will you say to the u.n., to america, to the world? >> as our interview will be broadcast before my address, it's believe it's not wise to speak about everything that i am going to say but i'll give you the general outline. i recall the history of the united nations and what i can say is that the decision to create this organization was made here in our country. in fact at the yalta conference, the decision was made in the soviet union, russia the soviet union and russia as the successor of the ussr is a founding nation and a security councilmember. sure i'll have to say a few words about the current situation and how about international relations are shaping up today. the united nations remains the only universal international organization which is charged with maintaining international peace and security. in that sense there's absolutely no alternative tight. clearly it has to adapt to a changing word at what pace and what shoul

and i think the other thing we need to remember is the united the ability of the united states to control outcomes in syria is extremely limited. is soutin has discovered are russia's opportunities for control. to control what happens on the ground is pretty limited. it is not like president obama has liberally ignored a situation and if only he had paid attention we could have had a different set of outcomes. am -- i have been a student of the region for a long time. host: i want to show our viewers a graphic in "the new york times." it takes up an entire page. each of these dots represents a person killed in the syrian war since its beginning. that is two hundred thousand people. approximately 29,000 have died in shootings and mass killing rate 27,000 died in mortar and rocket attacks. 18,000 have been killed in air attacks. 8800 died after being kidnapped, detained, or tortured. others died after being exposed chemicals. 670 medical workers have been killed. 565 have been killed by starvation, dehydration, or lack of medical care. syrians are leaving in mass. aid groups are criticizing

china, russia, the united kingdom, germany, france and the european union joined the united states in this effort to negotiate this groemeagreement walked away all nations saying this is good agreement and should move forward. in addition to that we have had support from the security council of the united nations, over a hundred countries endorsed this, and yet it has been rejected by the republicans in the house and senate of congress. the first evidence of their rejection was on march 9th of this year with 47 republican senators sending a leder to the supreme leader in iran, the ayatollah, saying to him don't waste your time negotiating with the united states of america. madam president, that has never happened in the history of the united states. never. i asked historians to check it. never have members of congress sent a letter in the midst of negotiations don't pay any attention to our president, don't pay any attention to our nation. 47 made it clear even before the agreement was reached they were rejecting it. that doesn't show good faith. or show trying to be objective and hon

the united states is not immune from this. even as our economy is growing and our troops have largely returned from iraq and afghanistan, we see in our debates about america's role in the world, a notion of strength that is defined by opposition to old enemies, perceived adversaries, a rising china, a resurgent russia, a revolutionary iran, or islam incompatible with peace. that the argument made only strength that matters for the united states is because bellicose words and military force, the cooperation and diplomacy will not work. as president of the united states, i am mindful of the dangers that we face. they cross my desk every morning. the strongest military that the world has ever known, and i will never hesitate to protect my country or our allies unilaterally and by force where necessary. todaystand before you ,elieving in my core that we the nations of the world, cannot return to the old ways of conflict and four version -- coercion. we cannot look backwards. we live in an integrated world, one in which we all have

change for days now during his trip to the united states. uba, you mentioned climate change. this is a live look at united nation general assembly. you can see that representatives from 193 member states are beginning to gather. pope francis will be speaking to this group of assembled world leaders next hour, and we do expect him to address climate. that is an issue in which they cooperate, because they are the two largest emitters in the world. i want to go back to whether president xi jingping intends to enforce these ideas. my understanding is that china continues to be a coal-based economy. >> the chinese have made lots of progress in green technology. they are the number one producer of wind technology, more wind technology than all the other countries in the world combined. they've been a leader in solar technology. they have actually made a lot of strides trying to push their economy to become a cleaner and greener one, mostly because their own citizens are crying out for it. they know that they need to take care of the environment in

it is turned over to the united nations. the iaea that does these kinds of inspections are brought into it and they have a separate agreement with iran that is not disclosed to the united states or any other nation. we -- if it is accurate, we don't know but it seems to imply that iran will not even allow the iaea inspectors on the site. these are concerns that are serious, yet we cannot even confirm them and we're dealing with that without even the agreement in front of us. moreover, the -- as we've moved in this process we've identified the sites that are different kinds, the declared sites, one they admit exist, and as to declared sites, the iran must first tell us what they are. we don't have on-site inspection to determine that. as to undeclared sites, they are able to have at least 14 days through the iaea to say that we think there is but we're not sure and iran is able to negotiate where there is such a site. and if the iaea and iran cannot agree to a joined inspection of a site, there can be further delays up to 64 d

this is his second major trip to the united states. s been to china and everywhere he goes, he's sort of tries to stand above the fray. this is very smart politics. because meanwhile in india, his cabinet is running a very different kind of government. it has been pushing against libertarians. it has been trying to stuff its own very narrow agenda kind of people into the various cultural and educational institutions. it has been going after people who are trying to raise issues ofmodi during the program 2002, particularly, the campaigner -- so while his government has been a vicious and has been in a sense trying to shut down dissent, mr. modi has given himself an air of royalty. he comes to these very large events. he is a certain charisma. and at the u.n. as well, he talked as if he is the most beloved person on earth. obviously, he makes, you know, a great impact. people are excited to see an indian prime minister with a certain kind of charisma, but this is rather -- this is very misleading because at the same time, as i said, a ver

let's go to the united nations. about the bombshell degrees. tell us more about what he said. >> well, he did in the end more than surpass that promise of giving a bombshell in his address to the u.n. general assembly. but as always the language is very couched and very careful. let me just first of all give you a little bit of a background. remember that for years when we talked about the middle east crisis we've referred to the palestinian israeli situation. but not any more. no diplomat is really looking that way at the moment. they're all consumed with the other middle east crisis which is syria, iraq, isil, and now the refugees. mahmood abbas felt he had to do something to get his own situation back on the map, and what better than the 70th anniversary of the general assembly to do that. in one way he's threatening to tear up the oslo agreements, signed back in 1973 in washington, d.c. and again in '95. it was an incredible thing. there were secret negotiations going on behind the scenes. nobody knew it was happening. it took place in the

president, dear colleagues, the united nations has gone through the test of time over the past search decades it has witnessed efforts made by all countries to uphold peace build homeland and pursue cooperation. having reached a new historical starting point united nations needs to address the central issue of how to better promote world peace and development in the 21st century. the world is going through a historical process of accelerated evolution. peace development and progress will be powerful enough to penetrate the clouds of war poverty, and backwardness. the movement towards a more multi polar world and the rise of emerging markets and developing countries has become an irresistible trend of history. economic globalization in an information age have vastly unleashed and boosted forces and created unprecedented development opportunities and given rise to new threats and challenges which we must face squarely. as ancient chinese saying goes, the greatest ideal goes a world truly shared by all. democracy and freedom are the commonalities of mankind and the lofty goals of the uni

at the united nations in the coming days the u.s.l bring countries together to promote development in afghanistan and work with our partners to strengthen international peace keeping. we believe all parties including iran need to implement the nuclear deal and security council resolutions need to be enforced. the u.s. and china will also partn partner on in addition development. disaster response, agricultural development and food security, and given china's success in lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty which is one of the most remarkable achievements in human history, we'll help rally the world this weekend, including our goal to end extreme poverty. fifth we had a frank discussion about human righting as we have in the fast, and i affirms america's unwavering support for the rights of all people including freedom of assembly and expreks, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, and expressed our strong view that preventing journalists, lawyers, ngo's and civil society groups from operating freely or closing

i mean, you don't see the president of the united states and his wife and the vice president of the united states and his wife going to andrews to great a head of state when they come in. you saw that yesterday for the pope. so this fellow, this man has a real reach across the world and certainly here in the united states. >> what impact do you think he will have on americans, on decision makers, on lawmakers as they listen to him tomorrow in a joint meeting. >> he will have a significant impact because he has a lot of moral authority. he is, you know, a very humble, loving, open, compassionate figure. and i think people are yearning for leadership like that. and he's filling that void across all religious stripes. i mean i'm in a law firm with about 300 lawyers and professionals of all religions, jewish, protestant, and they have a great deal of interest an affection for this pope. it's so interesting to me because they come up all of the time and want to talk about this pope. and they have even before the advent of this visit. he's captured the interest of people universally throughout t

secretary general of the united nations, mr. president. t was 70 years ago that on behalf of the people the member states of these organizations by the united nations. we placed ourselves to assert future generations to discourage war and to build a new type of relationship guided by a set of principles and purposes. this should bring about an era of peace, justice, and development for all of humanity. however, after that moment there has constant lee been internal affairs of the state, we have witnessed the so called-and the recolonization of territory. all of these are rated with new actions, new technologies and human rights violations. the militarization of the states and the covert and illegal use of information and communication to attack other states is unacceptable. the advancement and protection of human rights with the selected and approach to validate and impose political decision. despite the fact the charter calls off to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights and the dignity of the human person, millions of people, the fulf

national security of the united states. it from dinners i attended 50 years ago with my girlfriend to the history of my own wife's family, my support for the state of israel and the jewish people has been personal and unimpeachable, and i have not been afraid to disagree with the president of the united states when it comes to israel. when the administration opposes congress passing specific sanctions. we must build on our firm commitment to make sure israel can defend itself, take more money, more military support, but we must provide the one true democracy in the region and one and only jewish state in the whole world with resources it needs. the united states must also maintain staunch support of israel. including a veto in the united nations for a resolution that isolate israel and make it less secure. i read closely a letter the -- secretary kerry sent to the senate early in september. that letter leaves out a number of important steps that the united states would take for israel's security. one of those steps is take i

on national television stating that a muslim cannot be a president of the united states. is was so shocking to us that we thought maybe we should tell the story of the muslim community and also remind a presidential candidate, like ben carson, about a very important document in the united states. and that is the constitution. the constitution of the united states, which clearly states that -- and i have it here, no religious test shall be ever required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the united states, in pure english. this cannot be misunderstood. it cannot be twisted around. this is a very clear language to all americans, to all generations, irrespective of who they are. the protection of freedom of religion in america is a fundamental principle of our country. so, whether you're christian, jewish, muslim, catholic, you're black, you're brown, your white, if you are born in this country, if you uphold the constitution f you have division, if you fit to lead, you can lead irrespective of your faith tradition. not long ago some people thought that a

>> china has been a threat to the united states for a long time. listen to what chinese state media says. which they did in october 2013, across the main platforms of state media. this was not the work of rogue actors. i think it's difficult to say that china is not a threat. because china has done well, it's got the money to build a first-class military that's not the problem. we have seen bed tri trade practices. this is a country that could change workers. >> we have 30 seconds left. how should americans regard the visit. should they see the country welcoming the war with open arms, or is it a country that does not want to be number two in anything economically or military. >> china and the united states are the two largest economies and have great responsibility on their shoulders, and if they don't cooperate, the world suffers. if washington doesn't cooperate, seeing each other as partners. china and the united states benefits. and the world will be a better place. this is the truth we need to be aware of. >> victor stuck in trasket. the leader

precisely fored the united states. think the speech that the pope has given this morning in santiago is really very wonderful and interesting. you have to take it as a document for the meeting in philadelphia. i think the pope is informed of what happens, and will follow also in these days, the first days of the meeting. , thee will come to the end contribution with all his heart. obviously. veryhis morning, it was impressive. it is a way to express the importance of the family as a formation of humanity. in many concrete aspects. ilcil you to read the text because it is fantastic. >> good afternoon. >> [speaking spanish] my question is, the vatican, before arriving to havana there were arrests and everything. are you aware of this oppression in cuba? i think there is information that arrived to the vatican, and the pope. he follows what is happening. there is information in this sense. there was also information of 3000 or more people that were days as a sign of goodwill, in the preparation of this visit. i think there

the capital of the united states. the militia turned out and it's actually the battle of bladensburg. one of the most embarrassing defeats for the united states army. confusion was in the ranks. the great james monroe, great guy, but not on this day. he was the secretary of state and he was playing general. teamsters hired, put in the line of fire so they galloped away with the ammunition. the president of the united states himself, james madison, actually showed up with two doctor goon pistols strapped to his belt. in the moments before the battle he almost wound up in his haste to get into it road through the american lines and almost got captured by the british until the person turned the horse's stirrups around. within about two hours the american army was in full retreat. the president was galloping away. and the british terrified americans. there was a valiant stand by the united states marine corps and small part of sailors. but eventually they were overwhelmed. later that night the british went into washington,

sadly this has tripled in the united states. this is a rapidly growing problem that needs to be addressed for the safety of our mothers and children. h.r. 1462 would address the increasing problem of prenatal opioid abuse and neonatal abstinence syndrome. women of childbearing age is a crucial in addressing n.s.a. the government accountability office has identified that more research is needed in this area to help treat babies with n.a.s. this legislation would fill his reach gap by providing opioid abuse s of and n.a.s. mr. speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. green: thank you, mr. speaker. and i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 1462, the protecting our infants act, led by representative kathryn clark and steve stivers. the centers from disease control and prevention said drug overdose is the leading cause of injury and death in the united states. from 2004 to 2013, the i

the possible way to address it is to unite in non-copromiezed fight. e and non-state actor have become interlinked, the struggle for one's right is substituted for the ruthless terror. we are convinced that the need for the universal international instrument able to counter act this crime is not only urgent, but long overdue. for this reason the conclusion of the draft on the united nations intervention, should become one of the top priority for this 70th session. a special role in the fight against international terrorism should be given to the international court for justice, and the international criminal court. making the jurisdiction of this institution universal is the core element of the overcoming impugner of actual violation as well as their partners, the regime who's national policy has become the mass production of terror. [ applause ] >> and i strongly believe that one of the most important aspects, fighting against terrorism is keeping and sharing the memory of the victims, and in this context i propose that the 70th session of the general
