in euro forty decades and the new order is still undefined what are some of the forces some of the trends some of the factors that may shape the evolution of this new order the questions remain first of all what is washes relationship with european countries and the united states going to be i mean that's the chief one but along with that given events that have occurred twenty fifteen and since then what is the future of the european union just what what will emerge from breck said from the refugee issue and from european discussions of their internal governance and finally after the election of president trump what is the u.s. his future what are its intentions about its presence in europe which has been there since one nine hundred forty five i have and we don't know the answer to any of those questions and the others will pursue some of those questions. you mention in your book that the russians on a number of occasions proposed the creation of the european security council the idea that was dismissed at the time but more recently were heard from the chancellor of germany angela merkel

well we know that the undefined mortality in the country east fifty six thousand children thirty year dying or preventable causes those are children on the fight. many of them can die obviously from one position on monday edition related courses. on the media appearing to be a dying of natural causes this is natural causes this famine no we mention preventable causes preventable causes like. like diarrhea like lack of nutrients those are preventable of course children dying but seen preventable diseases so they are not natural causes that month maybe someone made that very clearly and while the children getting food supplies the money to the crisis is so enormous that despite everything that the un a disses are doing the funny thing is they don't have any more income they don't have any more food no job the super servants have not been paid in more than two years there is no more people are working in agriculture and discuss the stuff. in the economy crisis is increasing the prices of the very basic goods such as fuel and food so you can imagine that families don't have any more money

after the code reorganization, any use that was previously undefined in article seven was listed as not permitted. so all of those districts have agreed and i am encouraged to see that we want to permit more arts activities in our neighborhoods. in summary, we do have several tools in existence for uses in our commercial spaces. you are also allowed to obtain the appropriate permits to establish multiple use on one site. what is different about this flexible retail use category as you can interchange between these six uses without obtaining additional change of use permits to allow more flexibility in the use of your space. those six activities are arts activities, limited restaurant, general retail sales and services, personal service, retail professional service and trade shops. i want to thank the planning department, especially audrey worked on this as well as our staff at oewd. again, as the retail -- retailers are really struggling, not just in san francisco but nationwide with e-commerce and other competing services. we need to make sure that we are giving as much flexibility for

who seemed all over the place, and who ended up campaigning in this very kind of cautious, sort of undefined self-contradictory way, and now that she's freed of her obligation to donald trump, she's back to being a charming lady on her couch with her dog. >> decency returns. we now have to go to florida. joining us now is msnbc chief legal correspondent ari melber who hosts "the beat" weeknights here on msnbc. what is the latest situation in florida? >> reporter: the latest, lawrence, i can tell you we are not in boomer territory yet. no dogs or concession speeches, but i've enjoyed listening to your coverage. because this is just a razor thin margin. we are within .2 percent. behind me there was a lot of protests and action outside. but inside where we spend time watching the process they are doing the machine recount in broward county. the senate race much closer than governor. what folks are hoping and the reason why broward is so key is because you know this is the democratic strong hold. so if there were votes intended for democrats but didn't ultimately get tallied which we know in flo

an issue, if he was concerned about lowering the morale when they're here from a mission that's undefinedad to say. >> i would argue it helps build readiness. since it's football season and we have a lot of football fans on the task force, i'll make an analogy. it's like making the argument that playing and scrimmages take away from your practice time. i would argue you practice for these types of events and learn more from these because you're doing it in reality under somewhat austere or difficult challenges. i think this builds readiness, not erodes readiness. >> that's what we hear on camera from the commanders. behind the scenes off camera, i did hear there was a concern. especially in arizona where i saw people building barricades. 30 barricades sitting around. these are shipping containers on top of each other not being used. there's a question of why spend that kind of man power every day to build something that's not going to be used? it surely has an erosion of morale factor. >> where's the caravan that we're supposed to be protecting ourselves against? >> that's right. we know

as long as israel leaves its borders undefined and fails to guarantee equality under the law for all citizens these three provisions together provide constitutional authority for the complete displacement of palestinians arabs from historic palestine and the denial of their equal rights under law. that is not only the second or third class citizens of the state of israel and the citizenship could be revoked and not only are palestinian refugees not entitled to return to israel -- a restitution of the property and even the palestinians living in the occupied territories are not entitled to self-determination and a separate state or as citizens of israel. this is because the land of israel is the historic homeland of the jewish people without regard to the claims of others. >> had palestinians succumbed to the pressure to recognize israel and the jewish state as part of the relaunch of peace talks in 2014, the palestinian leadership would have conceded the integrity of their historic homeland to jewish colonization as and settlement as well as discrimination against palestinian citizen

in the midst of this atmosphere where the trump era, and american foreign diplomacy is still undefined for internal and external audiences. like many other nations, where they should look to in terms of dissolving a new world order. what could a country like afghanistan looked toward? what kind of commitment can it expect from the united states and its western allies? >> back to both of you, and then we will turn it around. >> do you want to start the argument we are about to have? >> oh no. i just follow the british trend on lodge and said that isolation was written by disappointed people. in fact, republicans opposed the treaty, and was in fact willing to uphold the security guarantees that wilson had made to the french. >> we are going to have our argument. >> they regarded that is a much more parsimonious and important commitment and one of the reasons they did not like the league is that it was a system of indifference where as the republicans throughout the were appalled the position -- upheld the part that wilson was never comfortable with. wilson in his response to the republic

right now in the midst of this atmosphere in the trump era american foreign diplomacy still is undefined for internal and external audiences. i often wonder like many other nations where they should look to in terms of this evolving new world order? what could a country like afghanistan look towards? what kind of commitment can it expect from united states and its western allies. thank you. >>> we are back to both of you then we will go around again. >> i'm a revisionist i just follow the revisionist trend on lodge to say historical fears, isolation is -- aust isolationism was written by. they were in fact willing to uphold the security guarantees and wilson had made to the french. because they regarded that is a much more parsimonious and more important commitment one of the reason they didn't like the league it was essentially a system of indifference where is a republican throughout the court held up a position strongly in favor that wilson was never comfortable with. i actually think, and wilson in response to the republicans attaching conditions to the peace proposal withdrew the wh

it's not clear liabilities, which could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars, remain undefined.its, derivative litigation issues and other things. so maybe they are fine for the short term but it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy and there is a lot that we don't know there's a lot the company doesn't know they suspended guidance and the company is earning 25 cents of free cash. that doesn't suggest the stock is worth more than that all else equal. >> we're in this moment here, john where there's a debate about whether this is about liquidity issues or a degradation in major business units. it's debatebly at a peak power is in serious challenges the company is facing a torrent of distraction cost,ing inspiring people and people are leaving. culp did his best to shore up morale so the company doesn't hemorrhage more people and i think ceo said this. these are long term issues that have to get worked through here. no one quick fix, no silver bullet it's a combination of a number of things request w capital at the epicenter of the challenges. >> so justin, i think you disagree with

available, is that a compelling message if they choose to make it or are people still afraid that some undefinedge is coming? >> no, it's not a compelling discussion because association health plans have come and gone since the 90's if you remember. immigration works better for a republican. for a democrat, it's about health care, it's a great dividing issue across the parties and across demographics. we know it's substantially more important to women and to urban voters and it is less important to men, so, no, it's not something that republicans can hang their hat on. >> most democrats are endorsing something called medicare for all. i think you know after the law passes the number of people with medicare is this. >> well, so much -- this is a great sound bite issue. there are 8 different pieces of legislation right now in the senate to promote medicare for all. none of those has the same definition of medicare for all, nor a price tag associated with it, nor -- what would that mean? does that mean the government will determine what's appropriate care or not or which doctor i see or which hospi
