however, in dealing with the issue of the korean peninsula, the united states, united nations security council is now playing the role of covering up the high handedness of the .nited states in the name of the u.n., ignorance of justice and international law. the governance of the dprk in accordance with article 34 and 35 of the u.n. charter, on several occasions, they had an emergency meeting on international peace. this year alone, we have made a special request to the un security council in march and followed by two times in ourious years regarding thoseequest to handle dangerous military exercises which were root cause for agitation in me korean peninsula. on the contrary, the council is planning to convene such a briefing. it is nothing but obviously behavior of double standards and the tune of the united states. so far, the un security council takes issue over the righteous defense measures to safeguard the sovereignty and dignity and national security by adopting the illegal resolutions. double standard set by the united states and its interests. the u.n. security council exerci

today, as, as we have for more than half a century, the united states and japan stand united in defense of democracy and the rule of law. not only in this region but all across the world. tomorrow, i will speak from the deck of the uss ronald reagan at the naval base. a tangible sign of our unity with japan and the united states unyielding commitment to peace and security in the asian-pacific. under president trump the united states will continue to work with japan with all our allies in the region, including south korea to confront the most ominous threat posting this region of the world, the regime in north korea. let me be clear, our commitment is unwavering and are resolved could not be stronger. as president trump told prime minister at the southern white house, i say on his behalf today to all the people of japan, in these challenging times we are with you 100%. in the face of provocations across the sea of japan, the people of this country should know that we stand with you in the defense of your security and prosperity, now and always. now, the united states will continue to wor

my very first stop in the asian-pacific as vice president of the united states. it is a great honor for me to be in south korea. i bring greetings from the president of the united states, president donald trump, on his behalf, i'm here to express the unwavering support of the united states for our long-standing alliance. president trump and i are grateful for your strong partnership with the united states, we commend you personally for your steady hand in this time of transition in south korea. the president and our entire administration admire the south korean people's commitment to the rule of law and the democratic process and we look forward to the upcoming election with great anticipation. while changes coming on the people of south korea may be assured, whatever change happens in your elections, the commitment of the united states to south korea's safety and security will remain unchanged. [speaking foreign language] vice president pence: on behalf of the president of the united states, my message to the people of south korea is we are with you 100%. the uni

united states checks for medical issues, takes fingerprints, and interviews the refugees. >> the united states government handpicks each refugee that comes into the united states and individually interviews all of them. i believe it's important for people to understand how rigorous and long this process is. >> the fbi, the department of homeland security, and others are involved in the process. only half of the refugees make it through. many things have changed in the past century, many beliefs haven't. in a poll in 1939, only 30% of americans want to accept 10,000 jewish refugee children to live in the united states. in 2016, only a similar percentage supported letting syrian refugees into the u.s. >> we have to remember we are always on our weakest when we have shut our door on refugees, when we have been afraid of them. and that are greatest when we let them in. never has this country really suffered any kind of security consequences due to letting in refugees, yet we use that as an excuse many times to keep them out. we did it in the john adams administration with the alien and sedi

we have had statements from the defense secretary of the united states fairly straightforward saying that the president and the military team of the united states are aware of north korea's missile launch and saying that president trump will have no further comment. this is all of the reaction based on this test that happened about four hours ago. i do want to go straight to the korean peninsula there in south korea in seoul specifically. janice our correspondent on the ground. what we also understand is that according to a south korean appreciab presidential spokesperson the national security council is convening at the moment about 30 minutes ago. don't know whether it did start on time and whether it finished. what are you hearing about that meeting and that convening and what may come out of it? >> reporter: this is standard operating procedure when there are provocations like this by north korea that south korean officials will gather to assess what it is they know and how can they gather data about the type of missile that was launched, what direction it was heading, it's possib

the situation in the korean peninsula is often in a state that goes out of control. the root cause lies in the united states. it is a hostile policy. it has an aggressive war exercise in and around the korean peninsula. this introduced various strategic assets and the murderous operation such as andear carrier charges bombers and stealth fighters. the focus on the precision strike including our -- the pretense of the exercise of the defense. it is crystal clear to everybody -- the united states article one of the u.n. charter. the bring about by physical means the principle of justice and thernational law settlement of the international dispute or the situation which might lead to a breach of peace. in dealing with the issue of the korean peninsula, the united nations security council is now -- ing the role of in the name of the u.n., ignorance of justice and international law. in accordance with article 34 on 35 of the u.n. charter, several occasions, they had an .mergency amazing -- meeting we have made a request in march -- followed up two times dangerous military exercises. this led to agitation

the president of the united states can profit off of being the president of the united states. we saw the approvals by the chinese authorities after years of fighting. whose interests are being advanced? the united states' or personal business interests? that makes it very difficult to stand up for good governance and anticorruption. or on transparency. the president not releasing his tax returns. transparency is one of the key elements of anti-corruption strategies. or advancing as one of the first bills in this congress, sidetracking the provisions that senator lugar and i worked on on transparencies so poor countries could get the value of their minerals -- putting that on hold. all that compromises -- and lastly, when you present your priorities for the budget, the priorities you see for our country and you say we could reduce our international development programs by 36%, and america needs to be there to help countries develop democratic institutions that can protect against corruption. all of that combined weakens the united states leadership. there's only one united state

the united states tonight has taken military action in syria. the pentagon informs us that tomahawk cruise missiles have been launched from the united states navy, off the coast, at least 43 to 47 tomahawk cruise missiles striking sites inside syria, at the airbase listed on your screen. this is a base from which it's believed that the syrian military launched a sarah and gas attack on its own people. those pictures too graphic to show him this time of the evening on network and cable television, the truth is it killed dozens of syria and civilians including more than a dozen babies the president mentioned as he discussed this just yesterday afternoon. it had long been the policy of the president and this white house that the united states will not be interventionist. the united states would strike only one struck upon. it was yesterday the president first said in a joint news conference with the jordanian king of the dollar that he was deeply affected by the syrian military and the dictator bashar assad and his attitude toward syria changed. thi

corruption statues apply to the president of the united states. the clause applies apply to the president of the united states, there is no question about that. yes, i am concerned of his domestic conflicts. i am. there is going to be questions as to whether his office is being used for personal gain when his children travel with all the protection -- that's disappropriate because of their family connections to the president of the united states and vulnerabilities for security. that's intimidating of the people they are negotiating with on business deals. that to me is not appropriate. that's why we have the tradition in this country that every president is set either divested or set up blind trusts to avoid that apparent conflic conflict -- because of his refusal to do that, so if you want to be second retary of sta you have to divest. the president of the united states did not as tillerson did. conflicts applied to every person who's in public light. the moment clause clearly applies to the president. >> sarah chase. to follow up on that questio

this is a new day and a new chapter in relations between the united states and japan. ery day, though, our nations already exchange goods and services that improve people's lives and help businesses on both sides of the pacific succeed. japan is the united states' fourth largest goods trading partner and our fourth largest goods export market. and japan is one of america's leading investors. more than $400 billion. i saw that first hapd back in my old job when i was governor of indiana. how trade and investment between our countries can be beneficial to us all. in 2013, and 2015, i led a group of indiana businesses and community leaders to japan to spur opportunity and create jobs. today, the u.s.-japan economic dialogue seex the same objectives for both of our countries in full. it signifies president trump's wishes to strengthen our relationship with japan. today's meeting with deputy prime minister aso was an opportunity to discuss how we view the dialogue, structure, and goals. they'll focus on three pillars, as he just discussed. the first is a quote common strateg

will it gain the recognition from the united states? i would say the fact the president in his inaugural address talks about promotion talks about future interest and that has been important looking at the next presidential election. but will the trump administration be emboldened over the post soviet space? that is not clear if you listen to the cabinet officials would indicate what the president has said over the past two weeks about russia it will lead one to question if they would be forthcoming. so what does america need from russia? led to think this administration gabelli to have meaningful cooperation to bring this serious civil war to an end but that is highly aspirational because we have very different views . u.s. would like to work toward a viable solution in the ukraine. the u.s. would like russian support of course china is much more important part russia does have a role to play as it is of party in the dispute and more generally will like to have russia as a constructive player this has been consistent over the last 35 ye

. >> the united states took a very measured step last night. we are prepared to do more. >> reporter: this was also a message to moscow, which denies the syrian chemical attack even happened. >> translator: to justify its armed action, washington has entirely twisted what happened. the american side can't not understand that the syrian government troops did not use chemical weapons there, damascus does not possess it. >> reporter: many died from as fix yags from what's believed to be sarin gas. the u.s. will investigate any russian complicity. did the russians know anything about the chemical bombing? was it a russian warplane that later bombed a hospital treating victims, perhaps trying to destroy evidence? and after years of regime chemical attacks, u.s. military officials say they will now aggressively monitor syrian chemical weapons programs and potential involvement. the pentagon showed what was justified, the track of the syrian plane and imagery of where the nerve agent bomb hit. the syrian military denied using chemical weapons. >> this

the real opportunity for the united states. to retain our primacy the united states needs to weave together its disparate security and economic efforts into a broader strategy. we need to fashion a networked security architecture with ally and partners to help all of us do more over greater distances with greater economic of effort undergirded by a shared set of principles in support of a rules based order. we need to present a vision for an equivalent economic architecture that includes inclusive economic growth for all countries, including the united states. in the absence of american -- of meaningful american state craft in the region, china is filling the void. that has dangerous implications for our relationships setting up false choices for our allies between their security and their prosperity. besides these strategic implications, the lack of a serious u.s. economic conditions in china. for some the challenges of opportunities for the united states are significant, but without urgent american leadership and investment, t

i'm absolutely certain the united states supports this approach, partly because the united states is rt of the presence in the eastern part of the alliance, also in the south—east of the alliance in romania. the united states and the president has clearly expressed they want dialogue with russia based on unity and strength in the alliance. the next question is from jon sopel. strength in the alliance. the next question is from jon sopel. thank you very much. secretary general, how long do you think it'll take you to persuade the other european countries to burden share? and what are you going to do to persuade them? mr president could i ask you... i like that question. i'm here to help. mr president do you think it's conceivable... what is your instinct? is it possible syrian forces could have launched that attack in italy last week without the russians knowing? and have you been disappointed, surprised, by vladimir putin's reaction since then? i think it's certainly possible, i think it's probably unlikely. i know they're doing investigations into that right now. i would like to thin

strike against a syrian airbase in the aftermath of a chemical attack that the united states plams on tblames on the regime of bashar al-assad. assad denies that it has been complicit against civilians, the attack spurred the u.s. to attack the airbase if central syria. it was a missile launch. 59 tomahawk missiles hitting that airbase. barbara starr has more on how it unfolded. >> reporter: this was the message president trump wanted to send to bashar al-assad, attack with the chemical weapons, the u.s. will attack you back. 59 cruise missiles striking the syrian airbase, the u.s. says was used to launch aircraft, killing men, women and children tuesday with a nerve agent-filled bomb. the pentagon said the strikes severely degraded or destroyed their intended targets, which included aircraft and aircraft shelters, fuel and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers and air defense systems. >> the united states took a very measured step last night. we are prepared to do more. >> reporter: but this was also a message to moscow, which denies the syrian chemical attack even happened.

again, that's the united states' fault. and here's a news flash, you probably don't know this, but the united states secretly collaborated with saddam hussein to order saddam hussein to attack iran in 1980. and i though that will come as a great surprise to everybody. it probably would come as a great surprise to saddam hussein if he happened to be around today, but that's the sort of thing that, you know, we are still a convenient scapegoat for them. they are unable to look internally and to accept their own mistakes. they are unable to look internally and accept their own fate. now, part of this is their history. they have 3,000 years of being controlled predominantly by outsiders or controlled by authoritarian leaders of one sort or another. and and this has given them a character, a characteristic that combined with their version of shia islam, an interesting perspective on their lives. it's given them the belief that they have no control over anything that they do. it's always conspiracies by outsiders, and nothing is e

did the united states ever do that? chelsea: not that i know of. there were some unusual experiments with animals in war in the 1950's and 1960's, where they tried to use animals more as formal weapons, but that was not a big thing for the united states. the united states used more traditional roles for war dogs that they continue to use today. host: did any of the training ever begin to get pushback in america from organizations like the aspca or other animal where fair -- animal welfare groups with mark -- groups? chelsea: there is always been inhback in varying degrees united states, and in britain during world war i and world war ii, but one of the things to keep in mind is that during those wars, it was a great sense of patriotism, and so the animal welfare groups are more interested in being involved with the war effort and supporting the troops and supporting the animals that were in combat, so there was a lot of fundraising and sending of medical supplies to the veterinary corps. the pushback was more of an issue of coming we know you need s

would support the united states acknowledging them as a nuclear weapon state. but there is a whole range of things in a discussion, if we can get to the table, and a discussion about the various kind of arrangements on the peninsula, and the future of the peninsula, including taking too account north korea's supposed security needs. >> rose: can we trust them? or is this a trust but verify circumstances. >> no, you can't trust the north koreans. we actually entered into, this is an important point. we entered into an agreement-- agreed framework which did freeze the nuclear weapons production facilities in north korea for a number of years. we discovered at the beginning of the bush administration that they were cheating on the deal. it was probably a better, it probably would have been a better approach then to keep in place the arrangements that we had, of freezing one part of the program and then addressing the areas where they were cheating as opposed to walking away from the entire deal which is what we did. and the result has been, and we also entered into

the state department. rich? >> the secretary of state says that steps are underway for the united states to lead an internationalion to remove bashar al-assad from power. just a week ago, the secretary of state asked about this in turkey. his response to that was that it is up to the syrian people to decide the long-term future of bashar al-assad. so this chemical attack representing a dramatic shift in the position, much more detailed from the united states and secretary tillerson than he spoke about a week ago in turkey. this is as the secretary says there's no doubt the regime of bashar al-assad is responsible for the chemical attack this week on his own citizens. there's russia angle as you have discussed. the state department says that russia needs to think about its support for bashar al-assad and this is one week ahead of secretary of state rex tillerson's visit to moscow where he will meet with the state department there. officials say the chemical attack will color those discussions. state department officials say that the united states with secretary of state rex tillerson still explore a relationship

syria is not a vital national interest to the united states. ital national interest for the turks, for the iranians, certainly the russians, and we have president assad who views the outcome as existential. when you have a mismatch of existential to conditional national interests, things are going to go wrong, and you're going to have misunderstandings. we have a political problem. we sent a very clear message to the russians, to the iranians and certainly to the syrians that we have to have a political outcome here >> moaz, let me ask you. what if this is it? what if president trump just walks away from it after that because the signal that he's saying is that was just a limited targeted strike at this air base, and i don't know that there's going to be more than that. what -- what then? >> well, i think that, first of all, what the president has done is he's put a down payment on restoring american leadership and credibility in the world. once again this, regime has used chemical weapons so many times, not just in 2013, big strike and this one

clarity of message from the united states is key. partisanship on asia policy is important. i think it is pretty good. initiatives like maritime security. initiatives like this committee initiated. those physical demonstrations of interest in the region. also the united states needs to present a strategy. at the heart of that, our goal needs to be that the region is able to make choices on the economic side on the security side, independent of coercion. that is the key. i will let you address this one first, but speaking of chrome version and -- of andears and -- coersion allies, what is going on in the south china sea has been a concerted. secretary carter put forth a good policy the problem was, the execution was weak. it undermined credibility. this committee seemingly had to push and push. firsthey did their follow-up, they seemed embarrassed about it. secretary wouldn't admit it to the chairman. what do we need to do with -ops?ds to phon my view is they should not be done in terms of the way the obama administration did them with innocent passage. these't recognize built

this makes the united states stronger and safer. we saw that after the 9/11 attacks on the united states. that was the first time nato invoked our article five, the collective defense clause. allies sent planes to help the american skies, and towards nato's biggest military operation ever in afghanistan. hundreds of thousands of europeans and canadian soldiers have served shoulder to shoulder with american troops, more than 1000 have paid the ultimate price. earlier today, i laid a wreath at arlington national cemetery in tribute to the fallen. it was a deeply moving experience. we owe it to our service men and women to preserve the hard-earned gains we have made together. we are reminded of the sacrifice just this week when the u.s. soldier was killed there fighting isil. our mission in afghanistan is a major contribution to the fight against national terrorism. nato plays a key role in many other ways also. all nato allies are part of the global position to counter isil, and nato provides support with training for the forces in the

to the duties of united statesia senator set forth in the constitution of the united states, nowhere in that document it is safe they have to give the presidential nominee about. all i can say, is that in the 100 year history of the senate w from the day going backwardsar there is but one person put on pa the court when the president was of one party in the senate was held by the other party and a vacancy occurred in the last year of the presidential term. we have done nothing to justify judge gorsuch to be treated the way he has been treated. his been treated badly. here's what nancy pelosi said. if you drink water, eat food or interact with courses is a very bad decision. all i can say is, judge gorsuch does not deserve that. that is a political statement ge out of sync with reality of whoa the man is in the life he has led. it is that attitude that has gotten us here today. i can also say there's blame on my side too. nobody has clean hands completely on this. w i can remember when justice soto meyer was nominated. she made a speech that the white man would have a hard time underst

there is some who would have the united states retreat from the world stage. they even borrow from charles linldberg's isolationist campaignsst '30s. i believe this attitude is very dangerous. the united states should not shirk our responsibilities to our friends around the world including and especially the state of israel. a strong america in the world is good for israel. that's why i strongly support robust security existence and missile defense sfunding for israel, fiercely oppose proposals that would slash the budget by 28%. i join apac in opposing that cut. engaged america is particularly important when it comes to iran. which continues to broaden the influence in menacing ways throughout the region. as iran continues to provide funneleding to its in a fairous proxies in the region, conduct ballistic missile tests, flagrantly abuse human rights of its own people and unjustly imprison foreigners, we must work with our partners in the region to counter iran's malign activities and we must support sanctions against iran's icbm program which is aimed at the u

the final words from the president of the united states there. eing ushered out of the oval office trying to ask will there be any action from the united states related to the attack in syria that the president was talking about. he called it horrible, he called it unspeakable. the king of jordan sitting silent. the first lady as well. horrible and unspeakable but he didn't give any clue whether he will embrace the words of his ambassador to the united nations. >> it's also a question whether or not the american people are -- how they're going to feel about this, right? these images remind me of the isis beheadings back in 2014 that focused americans for the first time on isis. but that still wasn't enough to get congress to vote on obama's request for military authorization. will this be any different? will the sort of rhetoric about these images resonate back home and convince the trump administration to take action? >> and convince the president that maybe understanding the mood in the country that sometimes a president has to look a country in

and another member of the audience from the united states. if any or all of the united states. tic states invoke article five for any legitimate reason, be ita five for any legitimate reason, be it a massive military attack or a cyber attack, and certain nato countries do not respond, what would be the repercussions to those nations? james rubin. us - russia relations relating to cyber attacks? well, u nfortu nately relations relating to cyber attacks? well, unfortunately there has already been a cyber attack on my country. it happened during the election last year. there was an active cyber sabotage by the russians. they did something that is almost impossible to believe happened. it's not proven. i think anyone who doesn't spend their day watching alternative fact news organisations... applause knows perfectly well that russian organisations were involved in the hacking of the democratic party's effo rts hacking of the democratic party's efforts and that russia's covert operation was designed... no cia, no fbi, no agency said this is true. are you finished with your alphabet?
