and allies, particularly in the united states -- between the united states and britain. germany managed to enrage american public opinion much more than britain did. the germans, increasingly as the war went on, allow their policy to be made by the military. the german military tended to see very much in terms of winning the war, and they tended to ignore or downplay political factors. right at the beginning of the war, the germans for military reasons invaded the neutral country of belgium. neutrality had been guaranteed the germans, increasingly as the war went on, allow their policy to be made by the military. the german military tended to see very much in terms of winning the war, and they tended to ignore or downplay political factors. right at the beginning of the war, the germans for military reasons invaded the neutral country of belgium. neutrality had been guaranteed by a number of european states including germany itself. germany is breaking its own guarantee to belgium, invading a small country. the german invasion of belgium the germans behaved with increasi

it was, i don't understand why anyone would possibly want to attack the united states. we are such a peaceful nation. all we want to do is go about living our lives with freedom and liberty, yet people seem to really hate us and it's impossible to understand why. the question that was asked of the mirkin people was -- of the american people was the famous "why do they hate us" question, and the u.s. government needed to provide an answer because people wanted to know why they were attacked. the answer was, they hate us for our freedom. what's remarkable about that, that was understandable because muslims and their grievances have been basically excluded completely from public discourse. the reason americans did not know that is because they were not subjected to it. they were never exposed to it. 11 years later, here we are, after the united states has full-scaleo invasions and invasions of predominantly muslim countries, has bombed many others, has created a worldwide torture regime, has created a lawless prison in the middle of the ocean that has brought thousands of

here is erica pitzi. >> reporter: for the united states porto rico is a spoil of law, a u.s. itory with the defeat of the spanish, it is not a state. puerto ricans are citizens who an serve in the military but cannot vote for president if they live in porto rico. the limbo coupled with economic troubles forced thousands to head to the states. like marion and brian, who moved to the miami area, where they own a restaurant. they have been in the states for eight years, but remember what they left behind. >> it was very hard to leave the island or your country, and start all over and everything has to be progress since we arrived. i don't have family you miss the family and the beach. >> i know if porto rico has independence. people will return and help porto rico become successful with the independence. i think puerto ricans could be independent. >> opinions are divided whether it should be a u.s. state, independence. in congress, there was a push for statehood writing: . >> in 2012, puerto ricans made their own voices heard. they agreed they wanted to change the status. when as

their goal was to not only bring crude oil from canada but also to attach into the united states from balkan. i want a federal agency looking at it but the state department shouldn't decide whether a pipeline out of balkan is good or not. we are getting crude oil in chains in houston texas. our refiners do that. it is so much safer and easier to put a pipeline than it is to bring the 100 cars full of crude oil. >> we recognize mr. griffith for three minutes. >> thank you very much. i will take anybody who can answer this. i suspect mr. grumet or miss cassady or miss hammond. are you all familiar with the regulations relating to production of electricity in mexico by coal? >> no is a fine answer? if you don't know, you don't know. nobody knows. the reason i ask that question, part of our proposal and one i'm interested in has electric transmission facility not just pipelines. one of my concerns is that we are putting coal miners out of work in appalachia and we are putting coal miners out of work in app latch ya. if we allow electric transmission lines to cross over from mexico using n

the united states. let's work together. [applause] charlie: what do you want to get government to do? president putin: we don't want anything to do. it is the people that have to want something from the government, either to do or not to do. we believe that to achieve a settlement, agreements have to be implemented and the key issue here, as no doubt the political component, and there are several elements to the political settlements. first, the constitutional reforms and the means to the agreement say that quite clearly whether providing an autonomous status or -- everyone understands what that is. our european partners, germans and the french have explained what it stands for and authorities are ok with that. secondly, the law on the special stages of these territories, the luhansk and donetsk there is needs to be enforced. it has been written but not implemented. the ukrainian parliament had to be adopted. that is what the minsk agreement stipulated for. formally, our friends have done it. but once this decree was adopte

yesterday the obama affordable care act was affirmed by the united states supreme court. today he gets what he wanted, the supreme court saying that same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states of the united states. he says this is a victory for america. homosexuals, he says, will no longer be second class citizens in the united states. they will have the equal right like all americans to go ahead and get married if they want to get married. gloria borger is with me, john king is with me. when you thing about history and historians, years from now they'll write about this amazing week here in the united states. >> you are right about the week. and the president spoke about the speed with which this specific issue has moved. as we discussed a bit earlier in the 2004 presidential campaign republicans put deliberately on state ballots state amendments to ban same-sex marriage to gin up political turnout. and george w. bush closed his speeches in the final weeks urging conservatives to turn out for him as the defender of traditional marriage. this was 2004, this is 2015. gl

and yet when you think about how important it is for the united states to articulate our values around the world, it was hillary clinton when she was secretary of state that actually said you know it's not necessarily wise to try to preach human rights to your banker. and that's china, of course. >> and that's what's interesting to me. so make the case for why we should have saudi arabia as an ally and make the case for why america's values say we shouldn't have saudi arabia an ally. isn't that a conundrum in and of itself? >> i think it is less of a conundrum in the sense that u.s. and saudi interests are not as aligned as they were 10 20 years ago. why? number one, because the united states is right now the world's largest oil and gas producer. so doing a deal with iran which absolutely they're going to cheat. and we're going to have problems with them on the nuclear side and a lot of people are going to point fingers. yet, when you do a deal with iran you're going to get 1.2 million barrels a day on the global market. that's an unmitigated good for the united states. iran is a diver

the reality is in the united states they've done this. japan has done this 400 times manipulating the currency. we don't have enforcement mechanisms built in, we have a problem. until we deal with it, until the government starts to call out that behaviour, we are not playing on a level playing field. >> let me ask you this, i know you come at this dishonestly. as a financial journalist, when interest rates goes down and a country does something to keep the currency liquid, you say japan did it 400 times, you thick they are doing is to be a currency manipulator as opposed to lowering interest rates to boost economy. >> you want to know. toyota made more on currency manipulation than ford did in the worldwide operation. it's a tool for them to make profits. that's a reality. this free trade agreement is not just the union. all the auto companies have been saying we have to address currency manipulation. it's causing an unfair disadvantage in a global marketplace. our government - we can compete with everyone, i know the product we built, yo

not our taxpayers' hard-earned dollars are going to be used to build a prison facility in the united states to house the terrorists and killers and cowards held in guantanamo bay. that's the question before us. mr. nadler: will the gentleman yield? mr. culberson: yes. mr. nadler: does the gentleman not know what has been testified to repeatedly, that it would be a lot cheaper for the taxpayers, to hold them in the united states than guantanamo? mr. culberson: that may be your opinion, sir, but we will not and will not ever afford constitutional rights or house foreign fighters captured on a foreign battlefield who have been killing men and women of the armed forces of the united states on a foreign battlefield, we're never going to house them in a prison of the united states, we're not going to give them constitutional rights. those rights are reserved to the people of the united states and to people who commit crimes within the boundaries of the united states the 19th terrorist who didn't quite make it that day was captured in the

the eyes of the shifted to the small city of tuscaloosa alabama, within the deep south of the united stateswas a familiar story. it started before the war between the states 100 years ago, which was fought and won for negro equality. negroes were taken out of slavery and freedom was guaranteed, but barriers were put before them, especially from the states that have lost that civil war the states of the southeast. the constitution of the united states came under debate as to whether it prohibited orrick knowledged such barriers. in 1954 it was made clear by the supreme court that the constitution guarantees equality for all. so, the great tests were met. tests that brought mob disorder and violence to the south, requiring that all troops to ensure the admittance of negro students. the vast majority of the united states was in sympathy with the negro, but some citizens were not. the u.s. government supported the negro, some of the separate state governments did not. and now, the test of tuscaloosa, alabama, the last state of the deep south to resist integration of schools. once again, the gov

actually, the united states owes the world an explanation what mr. snowden has revealed by the massive, extensive cyber attacks -- cyber surveillance over targets in the world. actually, these cyber surveillance includes chinese targets, chinese government, universities, scientific research institutions, and also china's telecon giant. these accusations against china will lead nowhere. it will just create mistrust. these kind of accusations have led china to suspend the newly established dialogue on cyber security. so china has said to the united states time and again that the dialogue -- and cooperate is underway to deal with cyber security because both countries are concerned by cyber security. it's actually the country with the most advanced technology of cyber, you know, capabilities. it has both defensive and offensive capabilities which no other countries have any match with. >> and it's got the intellectual property that the united states thinks china is after. we're not sure our capabilities are greater than the chinese. but you know one thin

there are only two countries that do it as badly as the united states, papua new guinea and surinam. now we have three states in the united states that do it a little bit better. 30 years away from getting this right for women and you're starting a crusade saying men should be involved in this. >> i'm glad you put it this way. here's the key the reason my book is called all in, i immediately heard from women's groups and men's groups with this massive supportive groups. we talk all the time about how there's no paid maternity leave in this country. plus paternity leave is worse all of our structures are based on a sex is assumption that women stay home, the men are supposed to work. when you tackle these structures what you finally start to get is the kind of equality that i was raised to believe in. >> you said you -- who should be doing this? are we looking out for state rules are we looking for federal law or as my last guest says, should we be pressuring companies to do the right thing? >> here's the problem your last guest had one good thing when a national policy that will estab

not just in the united states but also about the united states.that claim is that journalists cannot solicit information from sources. and to solicit information is to be involved in a conspiracy. amy: an accomplice. >> the united states, in terms of the -- that it is trying to judge me with, conspiracy and conspiracy to commit espionage. this is rubbish. we cannot tolerate this but the political levels or the media level. if we do tolerate it, then that standard will be corrected. what happens in practice? how this traditional vesta gated journalism work? -- how does traditional investigative journalism work? when you hear a rumor that there may have been an event and you go and speak to your sources, or perhaps one approach is you say, "i heard that this happened." then you say, "well, that is good but we need to be a little prove it." so do you have information that can prove it? they say "well, i think i might have some report on the incident." and then you say, "well, that is good, can we have that report?" that is the way journalism has alwa

and then, they came back to the united states because the united states is the only power that have always protected the saudis from threats. de stabilization of the society created by this relitsch us establishment, and including the him. >>> so how does the the need pressure them? and the united states today, and saudi arabia today, and they are more vulnerable than at anytime in their history. and they know, the only country, that is going to get them out of this mess, they have put themselves in, is the united states. we have done it before, and we saved them from saddam and, from nasir, in 1962. and we saved them of all revolutions that have tried to get rid of them, so they trust us a lot and, they know we are the last hope, to stay in power. today, they are in a position, and this has failed in our relationship with the saudis. >>> the president of the united states is in a position to and him, either do or we are going to pull out of support for you. we have enough arms and, military in the gulf, and qatar, and, to protect them and we are not going to let you, continue with policie

there's a relationship within the united states. and at the same time, some people have said that you have more unconstrained power than any russian leader for a while. my question is how do you see and how will you play a role in these big problems and where you will take the initiative because of how you and your leadership has changed russia. cloorl, you're stronger militarily. clearly, are you seen to be more aggressive-- although you don't like me to use that word, i suspect. but how do you make russia a serious part of the solution as the great power it is? >> ( translated ): i did not like you using the term "aggressive." correct. we are not being aggressive. ( applause ) we are persistent. we are consistent in pursuing our interests than before. for a long time for decades, we were silent. we put on the tabling various options for cooperation, but we're pushed farther and farther away until the red line we cannot cross. and i want to make that very clear. i said at the very beginning of our discussion, one should not try to

in that regard without a shadow of a doubt, the high-quality as well as the ability of the united states to develop scientific and technological research in that arena has proved very. -- very important. may also state for the record that we attach a great deal of importance to the cooperation is part of the science program. the science without borders program. an important highlight is the fact that the u.s. has received the biggest number of resilient -- brazilian students the u.s. has become the main destination of brazilian students who are beneficiaries and may i thank president obama for having well -- welcome toed such a substantial wave of brazilian grantees. i have often said time and again that it is our ambition to change innovation into one of the central topics on our agenda. we also want to make progress in our energy cooperation between the laboratory and the research center and material. tomorrow i will be in california and while in california i intend to hold a very instigating meeting with the information technology, biotechnology and aerospace companies. i'd also like

the united states didn't really send any meaningful relief. this was in 1899 but instead in the following year 1900 it declared that the united states dollar was the only currency to be used to in part of rico. the puerto rican peso was no longer valued and there had to be currency exchange but the two currencies that are roughly of equal buying power internationally were not exchanged on an equal basis. each puerto rican dollar would be worth about 60 american sense sense -- scents. that's a 40% devaluation of every person. if you think about the world trade center the 9/11 tragedy it was to very large buildings. the largest buildings but at the end of the day was to buildings and look at the ripple effect that have their our society and our economy the global infrastructure, homeland security, a whole set of repercussions. that was the two buildings. think about what would happen as it is if everybody woke up one day and 40% of their property real estate anything you had was gone and concomitantly their debts have gone up to 40%. there would

what is interesting was the united states was in a position and some solace that the united states could have say -- could have staved off a knot of -- could have staved off a lot of problems, in particular with the british because the british were owed so much money by her allies that if britain for gave her debt then the united states could forgive the money britain owed her. that would make the french a little less keen on forcing the germans to pay those -- to pay for the economic damage in northern france were the damage had been located. the man who saw this best of all was john maynard keynes. i just read the title of his pamphlet published as a book. this was the book that made him famous not the general employment on interest and money, the one he is known for among economists and economic historians. this is the book that made him a global celebrity. he was something of an insider and work for the treasury in the war and had served in surveying capital inflows, what was going on in the subcontinent and so on. he was practiced and experienced and new much in the theory sense but
