north korea represents a grave and growing threat to the united states, the region and the international community. to respond to north korea's belligerence this legislation includes mandatory sanctions directed against specific entities that violate u.s. law, united nation security policies including armed materials, human rights violations and we will get to that but this is an important part of this legislation, and activities that undermine cybersecurity. our legislation targets those who support these activities by provi provideing the regime with coal and provides economic support for north korea's elicit activity or the luxury regime that allows the continuation of control. we are going after the source of the financing of their illegal weapons program. it is not always the direct equipment that goes into the building the weapons. it is the mental wealth of the country they are using in order to finance that. this legislation targets those sectors. the president's mandated to sanctions any person who has contributed or engaged in or helped facilitate these actions. north korea is

we haven't achieved an agreement with the united kingdom. the u.k. prime minister got the most he could obtain and other members states offered him as much as they could offer which leads me to say that the deal with the u.k. is fair, balanced and complies with the great principles of the european union and takes into account the concerns and suggestions of the united kingdom. i therefore think the british people, which through the course of history have proven their wisdom and courage time and again, we say yes to the arrangements we have arrived at with the united kingdom. the commission, from the day the british people approved will pass legislative texts to parliament and council. in particular with regard to the social aspects of the agreement arrived at with the united kingdom. that juncture, the legislative proposals from the commission will come to you as soon as they have been tabled in german. we look at the refugees and migration issues. won't have escaped you that the european council confirmed with the european council decided in princip

and move them to other locations in the united states. hat is the challenge that has been prohibited or the rule or proposal from the president that has been prohibited by law. to the best of our knowledge, there is no plan to close guantanamo bay area as the caller indicated, this is an important facility, one of the locations that we use in south comm. host: chris in dallas, texas, democrat. caller: the last caller stole some of my thunder. i was just wondering, how is it that republicans can get too upset now with president obama went all the has done in his administration is something that happen whenoing to he was inaugurated but he was blocked and obstructed. they had a secret meeting. it was detailed in the book called "dark money." they were going to block with the president wanted to do. president bush, president obama is following the same line of argument that president bush had planned to do a guantanamo bay and the prison. he has tried prisoners in federal court with prisoners in federal prison. republicans are not opposed to

forces in the asia-pacific, and the united states. you live in a part of the world that is most directly certainly at threat. it also maintains -- north korea's missile program dates back to the 1970's, and in 1984 north korea conducted its first ballistic missile test of a scud-b ballistic missile. north korea's ballistic missile arsenal includes shorter-range scud missiles that can travel nearly 300 miles. no-dong missiles that can travel up to 800 miles and several longer-range missiles that can travel from 4,000 upwards to 6,000 miles. in april 2012, north korea displayed at a military parade a new long-range missile variant known as kn-08. the missile was displayed on a chinese-made transporter erector launcher, and in the fall of 2015, north korea again displayed at a military parade the same missile on a chinese tail. in december 2012, north korea successfully launched the deyana launch 3 vehicle, placed a satellite into orbit, representing a significant advancement in their missile technology capabilities. on february 7, 2016,

that's in the best interests of the united states. that's in the best interests of our allies, and it's in the best interests of north korea. that's what this legislation speaks to. and i share senator menendez's hope that we'll see a very strong vote in a few minutes, and i know that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle have expressed their views on this, and, madam president, i just urge everyone to support this effort and to show america's resolve in a united policy in this regard. with that, madam president, i would yield the floor and suggest the absence -- i'll yield the floor. mr. gardner: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. gardner: madam president, i want to thank all of my colleagues for their thoughtful input during this debate. we've had great discussions from numerous members who've come to the floor throughout the day to discuss north korea and the north korea sanctions and policy enhancement act. i want to thank chairman corker for his leadership on the committee and the product tod

the united nations can be a blessing and a curse. but for haiti the western hemisphere's poorest country it's been both. six years ago haiti was devastated by a massive earthquake. its worst natural disaster in more than two centuries. millions of haitians looked to the u.n. for help because the u.n. already had a large presence in haiti and the help did come. governments and private donors pledged more than $13 billion to the relief effort. the u.n. set up temporary housing for thousands of residents. it built schools, hospitals and sanitation systems and the u.n. currently maintains a 380 million dollar annual budget to pay for its peace keeping force in haiti. that pays for the more than 6,000 u.n. soldiers tasked with upholding public security. but the u.n. effort may also have made some things worse. many blame u.n. peace keepers for a cholera epidemic that has left thousands dead. at the same time, u.n. soldiers have been dogged with allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation of poor haitian women and children. flit we hold th

we want to be the united states of america. e] course, the other candidate is under fbi investigation. be a socialist than under fbi investigation. but she thinks she is above the law. she put incredibly important classified material on your computer, and i think her plan was to get elected and pardon herself, but she is not going to get elected. [applause] i know that most of these elections are usually a choice between two political parties, democrats against republicans, or in this case socialist against republicans, or between names on a ballot, and that is what you are going to have to choose. you are going to have a caucus, and you are going to have a choice between names, so that is still a part of it. but this election is much more than a choice between names. where youreferendum are going to be asked to choose not only who will be in charge of america, but what kind of country will america be in the 21st century, because that is what is at stake here. 2016 is no ordinary election. 2016 is a turning point in the history

to wonder what the united states is doing. at kruschev and not to look at the chinese communists. >> he was saying that the russians were getting ahead of us in missiles. >> it frightens people. it's not true. but it frightens people. and it's very effective in the campaign. >> i believe the soviet union is first in outer space. you may be ahead of us in rocket trust. but we're ahead of color television. i think that television isn't as important as rocket. >> we outmissiled them 100-1. if eisenhower came forward and said this kid is not telling the truth, it would have been a different election. ♪ >> let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. >> kennedy, in his inaugural speech, did not have a single mention of a domestic issue. he came to the presidency thinking his job was to run the cold war, to defeat the russians. >> i do not shrink from this responsibility.

bush was president of the united states. he said -- "the duties of the senate are set forth in the constitution. nowhere in that document does it say the senate has a duty to give presidential appointees a vote." that's senator reid. i agree with him. that's exactly right. but that's not the position he appears to be taking today. the president has every right to nominate someone, but the senate has the authority to grant consent or to withhold consent, and what i and the other members of the judiciary committee on the republican side said yesterday in a letter to the majority leader is that we believe unanimously, all the republicans on the senate judiciary committee, that we should withhold consent. exercising a right and the authority recognized by senator reid in 2005. now, i have read some of the press clips. people recoil in mock horror. well, you're not even going to have a hearing? you're not even going to meet with the president's proposed nominee? well, that's right, for a very good reason, because it's not about th

the reason, i think, is very simple. by 1913, unitedstates had significant vested interests already in the region. and secondly, in a cost-benefit of applyinge cost and asserting and tightening american hegemony in the caribbean and central america were negligible compared to the benefits. , butenefits were integrate the costs were so low, both in expenses fortary the united states, blood and treasure, economic expenses, but also in terms of public union. public opinion in the united states, and united states congress, in the united states press, and also in europe. by 1913, and certainly by 1916, rejectionsseated any of american hegemony in at least north of the amazon. the war in europe expanded the opportunity for the united gemini,o tighten it's a and also made the united states even more -- the u.s. government to assert andr establish stability in the region, where there was so much turmoil in europe, it became even more desirable to try to impose what americans considered stable governments in the countries of central america and

leon rodriguez was confirmed by the united states senate in june, 2014, as the director of the uniteds citizenship and immigration services. he previously served as the director for the office of civil rights at the department of health and human services, a position he held from 2011 to 2014. part of that time he served as chief of staff and deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights at the department of justice. mr. kubiak assumed the role -- our next witness of assistant director for international operations at u.s. immigration and customs enforcement on june 30, 2014, and in this position he is responsible for a budget of more than $130 million and operational oversight at 63 offices and 46 countries and eight department of defense liaison offices. and finally ms. michelle bond was sworn in as assistant secretary of state for consular affairs on august 10, 2015. she leads a team of 13,000 consular professionals and almost 300 locations across the united states and around the world who protect the lives and interests of u.s. citizens abroad. i want to thank all of you for b

after the death of lincoln, he was the most revered man in the united states. certainly, in the north and in the south he was respected by many people. not only for his treatment of lee but also for his protection of lee and other officers from trial and his sense that it would be good to get the country back together as soon as possible. so that was an important part of his -- it worked to his advantage. a great atmosphere of good will when he took the oath of office. also, working to his advantage, was republican majority -- republican majorities in both houses ofmajorities. his party controlled both houses of congress for the first six years of his presidency. the last two years, the democrats had the house of representatives. this was important because obviously it eased grant's legislative task. he could get things done a little bit more easily than would be otherwise the case, as we well know. presidents who have divided government do have difficulties. another asset that this president had and most presidents of the 19th century took advantage of was theh

the united states annexes the republic of texas, and in annexing texas the united states inherits a border dispute between texas and mexico as to where's the border between those two places. and tell me what this president polk do? we've talked about this before. just sit there and wait for people to negotiate? yeah, go ahead. >> they put troops in that area. >> that's right. he sends troops down into the disputed area. and this is going to be a theme we'll talk about later on. you put put troops in harm's wa. and so he took those troops down to the rio grande, an area also claimed by mexico so mexico could send troops there, as well. in the spring of 1846, opposing forces fire on each other. and president polk who has tried through various ways to gain his way with the mexican government and it was already planned for a major military operation should war break out an operation that simply doesn't talk about the remedying the border dispute between texas and mexico, but an operation that will take over other parts of northern mexico including the very place we're standing right now. polk

so, here is the problem the united states has. ok? we have individuals in certain parts of the world who are engaged in planning and carrying out attacks against the u.s. ok? and they operate not in china, not in russia, not in iran, not in great britain, or mexico, where we might be a would extradite them or be able to ask those governments to detain them. they operate in areas where we ofnot have a peaceful option detaining them or incapacitating them. and so, as a society, we have an obligation, ok? to respond to those attacks by attacking them. and that is covered by the ruled nations charter's on article 51. mary ellen talks about self-defense against the armed attack. and indeed can only use drone strikes against those individuals, we are responding to an armed attack. we are not responding against an attack by human. the yemeni government. we are responding to an armed attack by the individual operating in yemen. she did not tell you, of course, that under international law, yemen, pakistan, and somalia have a legal internationa

he has tried local elections in the united kingdom but didn't have success. then he went for the general election in the united kingdom and hardly any success there. will you call it a day and retire from politics? or do you want another chance to stay here with the company of us europeans. >> i don't know who has been briefing you on the intellectual history but you might not have a good memory. in 2014, 28% of the vote uk won the european election toping the poll across the united kingdom for the first time since the conservatives or the work party didn't win an election. i believe the referendum is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. i think we will sink deeper inside the union if it were not for this. there is every chance the momentum is on our side of the argument. so, yes, we are going to vote to leave and within a short period of time all of the briting mep's will be gone. how about that? -- british -- >> thank you. madam lapen? >> careful with predicting the results. i think the socialist only counted for 2% in the last election. someone said the u.k. w

they are still in the united states navy, the service ended with the emergencies. but when it remained in the navy. the force today reflects the nation at large. 20% of the navy personnel identifying as black identify as black slightly larger percentage of the country as a whole. latinos because 16% exactly their representation of the general population. 18% are women and the law that barred them from combat have come down, too. the last barrier was breached when two women reported by the nuclear powered submarines you may have seen in the news recently to army officers who were women who were accepted and passed the ranger training. so far there were no women's heels but i'm sure that it's only a matter of time. and finally, gays and lesbians serve openly. the code of justice made homosexuality a crime punishable by physical punishment as well as dishonorable discharge but no more in front of my dear no one under 30 seems to care. so, that is a short introduction to the u.s. navy area i will put this up just for the general patriotic emotion that it might engender

obama argues moving the detainees to a super max prison in the united states would save $85 million a year over the cost of guantanamo, and in such cases, such as dzhokar tsarnaev, showed that the u.s. can and does convict and incarcerate accused terrorists in the courts. >> part of my message to the american people, we're already holding a bunch of dangerous terrorists here in the united states because we threw the book at them and there of been no incidents. we have managed it just fine. >> reporter: as the president marshaled his arguments for closing gitmo, there's one thicthing that he didn't mentio, something that the white house doesn't want to talk about. that the president under his final ternal could as commander in chief, issue executive order and bring the remaining detainees to u.s. soil and close guantanamo, but that could cause a political crisis. >> guantanamo, this time on the program, nancy hollander, the defense attorney for guantanamo prisoner, [ audio difficulties ] and former chief prosecutor of it the guantanamo military trials, from 2025 to 2007. during the con

in the united states.would it take to have zika established in the united states? something that every summer you have to worry about? >> zika is a little bit different than west nile. west nile has special characteristics that allowed it to be established in the united states so quickly. one is that west nile is spread by mosquitos that are very common. whereas zika is spread by mosquitos who are really in the southern part of the united states. and west nile has the ability to infect birds, which allowed it to traverse the united states very, very quickly. zika virus doesn't have that capacity. so the worst case scenario is we get zika transferred in florida, for example, the texas, mexico border, with dengay thrives. i don't see it thriving in places where the mosquito doesn't live. >> could ongoing climate change change what you just said as a prediction in >> the temperature -- temperature has a weird variation with mosquitos. sometimes it increases their rank, but also decreases their flight range an

the majority of asylum-seekers do not receive asylum in the united states. asylum-seekers are not guaranteed legal representation, there is no due process as we understand it in our justice system. legal representation makes all the difference. in 2010, only 11% of those asylum-seekers who did not have legal representation were successful in receiving asylum. having legal representation makes all the difference, but most asylum-seekers do not have legal representation. they either cannot afford it or cannot receive pro bono representation because the system is stretched too thin. that is the first factor in the post-cold war period, something that makes the period different, asylum-seekers. terrorism is a second factor that has affected refugee and asylum policy in the post cold war period. as a result, our immigration bureaucracy was completely revamped. today's terrorists -- refugees are the most about it in u.s. history to prevent would-be terrorists from entering the u.s. and causing harm. the state department tells us refugees can expect 18-24 months of

office the president is now visiting a mosque inside the united states. it comes at a time when anti-muslim sentiment is growing and religious tolerance, at least in some corners, is waning. president obama arrived at the islamic society of baltimore late this morning. he is now meeting with community leaders. he is expected to deliver formal remarks at any moment now. we'll have live coverage of the president visiting this mosque. let's go to our white house correspondent michelle kazinski. she's joining us now live. set the scene for us. seven wreerz into his presidency he decided to visit a mosque. what kind of a decision was so late in this presidency? >> we asked that question to the white house, and they didn't have an answer to that. why hasn't he done this before? they wanted to focus on the reasons now. you know, look at the timing of it. he recently -- he has a prayer breakfast tomorrow. they felt like the scene was right for this kind of visit at this time. they really want to hit on religious freedom in america, but another big question is how

what would like to see as our allies from everywhere, not just on the united states, the united states, like i said to have their own. i've been a soldier for about 36 years. all of the time we've always, always experienced that magnificent support from the united states. the problem is that we would like the arab league, it's a very, very important, the gulf countries as well as europe to do more. more not just for the war machine, but as well as for the people of jordan to try to support that conflict, which is coming out of, it's eating out and becoming bigger than the government of jordan. thank you, sir, very much. >> thank you. >> thank you.

by 1975 the united states senate finally ratifies the geneva protocol with the provision that the united states could still use riot control agents in humanitarian operations and herbicides around the perimeters of its bases for defensive purposes. in 1977, all the remaining agent orange stock was destroyed on jonston atol. so it was collected from all the bases and all the storage centers on the united states and u.s. military bases and taken out into the south pacific where this -- this is actually a picture of one of the ships used in operation pacer ho which was intended to incinerate all of agent orange. these operations were all overseen by epa agents and so it was not just the u.s. military in charge of this. epa had to oversee this and they had to do it out in these -- out in the pacific because they had to have high enough fires, hot enough fires to incinerate the agent down to a nontoxic component. and that's, again, a picture of operation pacer ho. so this has all probably been pretty depressing in terms of the legacy of operation ranch hand. there is a little bit of hope in t

public within in the united states and the united states congress and in the united states press and also in europe. by 1913 and certainly by 1916, europe had ceded any rejection of american hegemony, at least north of the amazon. it expanded the united states to tighten its high generalmy. it made the united states even more eager to assert, to establish stability in the region. it became even more desirable to try to impose on central america and the caribbean. when the election of 1916 occurred and wilson said he wanted to keep the united states out of war, of course there were u.s. troops in haiti in the dominican republic and in nicarag nicaragua. he didn't need -- the united states didn't need to intervene in every country in the caribbean and central america. in a way, it's a little bit like lynching. you don't need to lynch everybody. you lynch some people and that is the lesson that people learn. it is very possible to intimidate. in 1918, 1919, intensify iing american control over the region, wilson, despite his rhetoric that he was saying right at that moment in versailles

and what is the position of the united states? who knows. when the sg comes around, one of the other duties he performs is this duty of centralization and coordination. you cannot appeal a loss to the united states supreme court court unless you get the solicitor general's permission to do so. you cannot file an amicus brief without first getting the solicitor general's approvappro. if the sg grants permission, he or she or someone in the office, is going to be heavily involved with that case. so my virtue of playing the coordinator, the sg helps influence the position in the case. this is an important power. if you talk to former sg's they will say i remember having the fcc wanting to take a position and the nlrb wanted to take the other one and it was up to me to figure out which one would be the policy of the united states. i think you can see the power of the solicitor general in that extent. particularly if the president faces a congress he doesn't get along with maybe you will use your solicitor general to go before the court and enact

the other countries around the world kind of count on the united states being on the side of science and reason and commonsense, because they know if the united states does not act on big problems in smart ways, nobody will. but it's not there trump. look at the other candidates. there is not a single candidate in the republican party that thinks we should do anything about climate change. ge. will he trump them again. live at the debate ahead of the south carolina primary >>> one of the u.s. supreme >> i'll leave it to you to speculate on how this whole race is going to go. i continue to believe mr. trump will not be president and the reason is because i have a lot of faith in the american people. i think they recognize that being president is a serious job. it's not hosting a talk show or a reality show. it's not promotion. it's not marketing. it's hard. a lot of people count on us getting it right and it's not a matter of pandering and doing whatever will get you in the news on a given day. sometimes it requires you making hard decisions even when people don't like it and doing th

i understand the united states has, i know the u.s. has contributed in the past, for instance, sending cdc personnel to work at w.h.o. headquarters in geneva, donating funds to the global outbreak alert and response network and sharing a lot of the information that we get from our own disease surveillance efforts. i also know that the obama administration fortunately has placed a high priority on global health security. we have got to maintain and increase those efforts in our own self-interest and self-defense, let alone to protect the rest of the world. governor ridge talked about three recommendations, a hundred action items of our report. we don't have time to even begin to describe those. but it's online. i urge you to go to that panel. i do want to say on a day when president obama and i thank him, president obama, for announcing the $1.8 billion to take he preventive and responsive action to the zika virus, on a day when he's announced that, that the finding of our panel was that the federal government is simply not coordinating

statesle is the united expecting them to play? mr. schultz: ambassador rice addressed this earlier and we will have more to say in the next 36 hours. i will not get ahead of the president. our message on this is not particularly different than it has been over the past weeks and months. we support freedom of navigation in that we are going to stand by our partners in the region and make sure that international norms are respected. all right. one more. a follow-up question. is why obama decided to hold the summit not at the white house? mr. schultz: the president has used summer land as a relaxed venue where his counterparts from around the world can have a more informal discussion. in washington, there is a little more stiffness. the president wanted to afford world leaders more of an opportunity to have a candid, relaxed discussion. >> when you said that the is standing with advisers on this supreme court issue, is he going over specific list? where is he in the process? again, we are only a few days old here.

colonel nam tong ho, of the korean people's army >> on this side is north korea and the other is unitedstates and south korea. >> the west is always saying north korea has to dismantle their nuclear weapons program... north korea has to do this... ...and has to do that... what would it take? we were told the nuclear deterrent - as they call it - means the government can focus on other things, like development. >> we are building more fancy looking buildings on the river. a man who has made a success or achievement for the society - then he will be kind of a priority to go there. >> our guides brought us to one of these new buildings that we were told is for families of professors at kim il sung university. sin gyong-ju lives there with her daughter, son in law, and grandson. she was worried about the health of kim jong un, who had not appeared in public for several weeks. >> you're going to cry too we're all crying >> then the conversation turned to the united states. she told us the americans provoke and threaten north korea regularly, but she is certain they will not attack - because

help me welcome the next president of the united states! to the polls on down the nd move that way. marco rubio! >> thank you. well, first of all, i can't tell i am to have the support of your governor. we have a good field of candidates. our candidates is a socialist. none of our candidates is under fbi investigation. but i'm so honored that she chose to join our team. and because she embodies for me everything i want the republican party and the conservative movement to be about. everything it is about. and i've enjoyed so much being here in south carolina over the last ten days. we spent a lot of time here, just my family as tourists. because south carolina, we drive up every summer to washington. and it's about the halfway point drive.t and we always stop and spend a lot of time here. and a little bit of money here, too. and we love being here. i've learned a lot about south carolina. for example, i've learned very quickly, do not pick sides between usc and clemson. learned that the citadel is the finest military college in the world. a

here's the problem the united states has, ok. we have individuals in certainly parts of the world ho are engaged in planning and carrying out attacks against the united states. ok. and they operate, not in china, not n russia, not in iran, in great britain or mexico, where we might be able to extradite them, where we ask those governments to detain them. they operate in areas where we don't have a peaceful option of detaining them or incapacitating them. and so as a society, we have an obligation, ok, to respond to those attacks by attacking them. ok. and that is covered by the united nations charters rule on self-defense in article 51. mary ellen talks about self-defense against an armed attack, and indeed when we use drone strikes against those individuals, we are responding to an armed attack. we are not responding against armed attack by yemen or by the yemeni government but we are responding against an armed attack by an individual operating in yemen. she did not tell you, of course, that under international law, yemen, pakis

they were all convicted in our article 3 courts and are now behind bars here in the united states. so we can capture terrorists, protect the american people, and when done right we can try them and put them in our maximum security prisons and it works just fine. in this sense the plan we are putting forward today isn't just about closing the facility at guantanamo, it's not just about dealing with the current group of detainees, which is a complex piece of business because of the manner in which they were originally apprehended and what happened. this is about closing a chapter in our history. it reflects the lessons we have learned since 9/11. lessons that mean to guide our nation going forward. even as we use military commissions to close out the cases of some current detainees, which given the unique circumstances of their cases make it difficult for them to be tried in article 3 courts, this type of use of military commission should not set a precedent for the future. as they have been in paths wars, military commissions will continue to be an option when individuals are detaine

they also represent about 1 300th % of the population of the united states. to fail to admit refugees who are the most immediate and most severe victims of that terrorism of those sorts of threats would cede a vital part of the battlefield to the people who are trying to destroy us. we need do this safely. that is the topic of this hearing today. i'm here to talk about refugees and about our immigration system and what we do and have been doing for a very long time to ensure that those who seek the benefit of coming to the united states and staying to the united states are not those who mean us harm either as threats to our national security or otherwoiz wise as threats to our society. refugees go through a very lengthy process involving multiple interviews, multiple screenings. they are checked against databases of united states law enforcement, the intelligence community, customs and border protection, state department advisory services. many of these are tools that, for example, when we talk about september 11th did not exist at that time. were not in utili
