united states has been isolationist for two decades. president roosevelt was the one who was most credible in dealing with this world crisis and so while he ran for president a third time, he was elected and all of a sudden roosevelt sees opportunity not simply to become a third president, to become a great president, a president in the mold of abraham lincoln because roosevelt before almost anybody else in the united states in a position of responsibility or authority understood that the united states was going to have to fight in this war. roosevelt recognized something about adolf hitler that a lot of other people didn't or wouldn't acknowledge and that was hitler and hitler's regime required war for its legitimacy and hitler talked about -- by the time roosevelt was elected hitler hadn't crossed zone yet but he was going to. hitler had not -- he had talked about -- threw to the idea negotiated peace with britain but by this time winston churchill was prime minister of britain and churchill recognized something with hitler that roose

the united states will keep a strong presence in the region. we recognize it will not be enough to simply reclaim the territory of the caliphate, as we enter this new phase, the united states will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of our allies and all those who step up to take a larger role in this campaign. and working with our coalition partners, we will continue to hunt down the remnants of isis wherever and whenever they rear their ugly head. and america will continue to stand strong, with all our partners in the region, to make the middle east safe for peace, prosperity and the advance of human rights. and under president donald trump's leadership, the united states of america remains fully committed to achieving a lasting peace between israelis and palestinians. in syria, president trump used american military power, together with our french and british allies, to launch precision military strikes responding to syria's use of chemical nerve gas against its people, and united states and our allies will never tolerate the use

united states does not need to have this ridiculously large budget and. are not in control of american politics i'm afraid but always try to with this book what are the chances of this book being. received well in the current amount american political environment what are your chances of discussing this book of on any of the american networks be it or and to trump very low. it goes basically against the the the perspective not only of trump but also the whole american political establishment and democrats as well as republicans and so it's it's it's an outlier but you know for as you know for years i've been saying that al qaeda does not present very much of a threat to the united states they've been listened to they've been talked with and nothing changes now the americans have rather unique security expectations when you compare them to other countries even western countries i mean you guys insist on absolute security not only domestically but also on their ability to influence security pretty much around the world when you have such a it's an expansive

and why it was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control pearl harbor because of hawaii's location its central central in the central pacific so there's a central location that ships. enter ports after disarming refurbish. ports rearm and go back fighting. the middle middle. asian or impede my mighty greedy sort it was by this very delicious they were present all the things it was how do you know you to be d.c. nine eleven and one third so what we see rising up out of that because people are these. monsters that are injury. document and it's a. document that basically say to write this book you are worthy to know the whole truth and the so it's all still public and piracy from the newspapers that received. the wave developed. an unusual. view of the world because of our location we have huge oceans and a couple of week neighbors in mexico and canada therefore we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear cooperation with others we've been able because of our power to impose our will on others. while we're here. on a charter school. by school

two, is through replace the united states in the late 2030 early 2040s replace the united states as theld's global leader. they are about doing this and they have pillarses to accomplish it. one, is their economic predators and they use that engine of investment in a merging countries to pull them to them with some pretty tough behavior. which they've put money into these countries, the countries default on loans they take over the infrastructure projects that they wereon promising they don't deliver a quality product as a matter of fact. they only use china labor when that i doing it and they insist on huawei, their service system to be the main driver in that country and their tell come units as well which means they're taking over the personal intelligence of the people in that country for generations to come. they're opening up sea ports because they want to be a global power like the united states. so they have a -- navy base in jabudi they have another one that did develop in pakistan. and they areop taking over manyf the ports that are in the key choke points around the world in

actually united states in away from economic point of view it's been an example in the united states a pencil migrants i just mentioned tool sixty two billion dollar sitting in in a decade in revenues out of only people with refugee background. i talking about my friends here right silica money is being by migrants so the economy of the company of course of course and develops and grows with my friends in germany should be looking at it. under america understands that and basically we as well wherever you're viewing us from around the world. for joining us here at quadriga don't forget you can always send us your comments with twitter facebook or you tube as well for now though for me brian thomas the entire team. thanks so much for joining us hope to see you again next time bye bye phil: this is "dw news," live from berlin. donald trump's former attorney gives congress a damming indictment of the president. mr. . cohen: he is a racist, hes a con man, and he is achieved. phil: and he unleashes a torrent of allegations. the white house says michael cohen is lying. also on the program,

united states is. now mike pompei o is the new kid on the block without very much experience as head of the cia he tried to get the authority to conduct drone strikes in afghanistan without the pentagon's oversight and he worked day and night to rip up the iran nuclear deal at the center of it is not interested in a campaign of economic pressure to starve the regime of the revenue it uses to fund stabilization of these throughout the middle east and indeed around the world now back in the spotlight after years of obscurity meet convicted criminal elliott abrams he was tied to massacres in el salvador any help to funnel weapons to the contras in nicaragua he was convicted for his role in covering it all up and he received a presidential pardon now he's a special envoy for venezuela it seems that his record in latin america has really impressed certain people america's new dream team is now taking aim at venezuela why because they just care so much for those poor oh pressed venezuelans they want them to

what about reaching the united states? daryl: that is a debate. the u.s. intelligence committee has assessed and independent experts that we work with we believe north koreans have ballistic missiles. the 14 and 15 specifically can reach targets in the u.s. how accurate they are is not clear. how reliable the reentry is, the device that delivers the nuclear bomb to the target. they have the capability. they have a missile that can deliver a payload the size of a nuclear bomb across the pacific ocean to the u.s. they have no more than a couple dozen of these missiles. they are probably manufacturing more of them, and so this is one reason why we cannot be waiting around and comfortable they are not flight testing. we have got to make sure they are not producing more, improving capabilities as time goes on. pedro: and the flipside, how is the united states prepared to meet that threat, should it happen? daryl: the u.s. has spent tens of billions of dollars on ballistic missile defenses going back to the 1970's. we have a limited capability to hit a simple ta

and the ties that unite freedom loving people everywhere. as president trump said in that very same poland speech in twenty seventeen. our freedom our civilization and our survival depend on these bonds of history culture and memory and they also depend on a foundation. of faith. and on that fave i know as the president concluded in his words. the west will never ever be broken. our values will prevail our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph for i have faith in our people. and in freedom loving people everywhere. and i also have that faith in those ancient words . there where the spirit of the lord is there's liberty. and when we hold fast to our faith in freedom and it's eternal author. freedom always wins thank you god bless you and god bless the united states thank you thank you mr vice president for what a strong message and i just want to remind as we say to you. right now just the u.s. vice president mike pence speaking at the munich security conference and we're going to be staying. with us president. a discussion tha

yes largely i mean i mean i'm not going to argue that the world of the united states is being led by the shrewdest president in the history of the country but the desire and both sides i think for wars are extremely small if i give you one example during the crimean problem obama was constantly being pressured to do more to help the the ukrainians and obama one said ok do you want me to go to war with russia over that anybody want to go to war with russia over that stand up and tell me and no one said anything of course so there's willingness to play around the edges but not to engage in a major war but i think in the kray mean situation the stakes were drastically different for russia and the united states and obama admitted that later on for russia it was a matter of strategic security a matter of life and that and death for the americans it was a secondary or if not that i michel for a third order do you think that's what still be the case if the american security would be directly engaged if there due to security was directly engaged if the if the russians thought that their secu

automobile investment in the united states. we would generate roughly 80- 100,000 new jobs. you may disagree with that and i appreciate it, but at the moment, and i might also add on top of that, a bunch of us is negotiating with auto manufacturers in europe who not only spec to come in and accommodate the new ground rules for the usmca, but to actually bring in more and we are very proud of that. north american content is at 75%, and 40-45% of automobile content will be made by workers earning $16 an hour. those are record numbers by far. with respect to union activity and collective bargaining activity, particular to our friends to the south in mexico, we made new ground and have broken new ground in every area to promote collective bargaining and to promote their rights and to hold the mexican government to international labor standards and international environmental standards. we have opened up the dairy farming issues and financial services and digital services, and most particularly, we have the strongest protections wri

if you want credit for the affordable units, they should build those units. the birth is not useful fore us, and at the end of the day, their monster remains an inadequate and inefficient project. this idea is just another delay and distraction tactic and a coward's threat to take it to the ballot. we cannot and will not accept a future with maximum and their monster. they and corporations like them were the architects and prof profiteers with the project to begin with. this development is out of touch with the needs of the neighborhood. the numbers, policy record and community demand all point to one option: 100% affordable housing with support services for 1979 mission street which finally brings us to our alternative proposal, the marvel in the mission. >> our commitment to community needs at the 16th street plaza don't end at this monster. our long-term plan is to bring the deeply needed services and housing to the plaza. that is why over a period of nine months we held community meetings and work sessions to truly get at what front line communities impac

so this seems like it's fully playing into the hands of the united states. states or would be in violation of the basic rule of the treaty and further developing its own military capabilities ok thank you down there that was done cohen in the united states for us we get more reaction now to enjoy and join rainer office is it your political analyst in consultant in these where this is saving always welcome thanks for coming on raina in your opinion do you think do you think this situation is irreversible what do you think the tayside can find some sort of common ground over the next six months. well from the perspective of europe and the all germany we have to be. an alarming development and we see that we are stepping back. behind. the cold war era at the end of the eighty's and therefore european countries are well advised to make pressure on the united states to renegotiate and you'll i.n.f. treaty and maybe this is also what is behind this move it's always hard to foresee what is his final strategy but the problem is actually that china is not bound by an

despite the conflict between the united states and venice well over a decade or more the united states as of a few days ago was still buying about forty percent of venice well as oil and was overwhelmingly the customer that was paying for that oil in cash so with those payments coming to a quick end i think this is a response from the mother would a government to try to get its hands on some liquid assets by by selling this gold on the market as quickly as it can and let's go tonight in london name we talk about the sale of this gold injecting a certain amount of liquidity in practical terms in the economy what is the sale of this gold allowing the government to do what are they using the money to to buy. well and i think that the first question is that why they are really dealing with europe because right now what the intentions are that they only wanted to sell the gold whatever the quantity that they want to offload only in europe and the reason that they are going after euro's is because they completely want to award anything to do with the u.s. dollar i think it's a huge threat to

to assume a common position in the united nations obviously this is a very key to the united states who are currently looking down the barrel of that are very unilateral military action if this is what they decide to take even that their governments here in latin america. will why they leave mcgreevey have made a comment declaration saying they are opposed to military intervention in venezuela essentially leaving the united very nice the united states very isolated in this prospect all right very interesting to hear thoughts on the subject paul dobson journalist based in venezuela we hope that as the situation continues and unravels that we can come back to you because you do have a unique perspective being at it. thanks sean of course all right the venezuela crisis is sparking a global warming ally of the nigerian president has claimed the opposition could face severe consequences if very attempts to create a copy of the crisis are to secure and has more venezuela a picture of chaos all a blueprint for success well it's all relative according to his c.l. verify a key ally of nigeri

dwelling unit makes -- may consist of 22 bedroom units, and one one-bedroom unit.the project includes a private deck for each of the residential units, as well as a commonly accessible roof deck. the project sponsor worked with the department on a few design concerns, including reducing the overall building depth, reducing the stair penthouse on the rooftop, and making a more pedestrian-friendly commercial frontage. staff's last designed comment is a proposal should incorporate more traditional waveforms on the exterior street facing faÇade. this has been included as a condition on the project for your consideration. in your packets, you have one letter in support of the project, and ten communications in opposition to the project. concerns relate to the number of residential units, tenancy displacement, traffic concerns, impacts for the neighborhood commercial businesses, and overall scale of the project. after the commission packets were distributed, department received three additional letters in opposition to the project, noting similar concerns. additionally,

united states. senate committee on foreign relations have just entered into negotiations further negotiations with the intelligence agencies to get the to get more information on that look there's there's there's nobody i hope you're not thinking that there's somebody in the that is soft on this that thinks that this is all right this is not all right the saudi arabia is a strong allies are saying that but we heard the president say maybe he did it maybe didn't there. look i'm not going to defend the president here you know if you wanted to interview him i can line you up probably with some people who can in d.c. who you can do an interview on and you can cross-examine them all day long statements that the president has made tweeting and otherwise and you'll have a long long interview and fine and that will be great asked me what we're doing and how we look at this you should have. the compromise responsible lindsey's a really really good friend of mine recently and i have had family and i have has

arrived on saturday night when one of the last tells me i'm going to have a southern command of the united states what is on my. going to your head of the armed forces including i'm going to talk about you mine to system seven is going to sts way but i'm doing military personnel meet in other countries to talk about humanitarian assistance then it should be humanitarian organizations that i meet because they are the ones that do that work that's the principle not military personnel on one side of the message sent by translate directly mr pence mr goldstone mr mr remarkable in your rule you. do it. that's the chain of command and on that order i didn't feel that the chain of command of the intervention against. the military in venezuela what i meant was going to rise up and come out against this constitution hummin i sure wouldn't want i know i have lost count of home and it is free also have been put on my terms with gangster the idea and letting you have the language of the language against. our military and our people and or revolutionary forces and this is something that i have to tell

as an application that the united states to and could be an argument that really i'm actually united states you know away from i could make point of view it's been an example i mean united states a pencil my grandfather. sixty two beyond all are sitting in a decade in revenues out of only people with refugee background talking about migrants here right so you can buy is being by migrants so the economy the economy of course of course and develop synchros with migrants and germany should be looking at it and america understands it and basically we just need to get rid of these talks and make it work and bring more migrants to. tori hall to thank so much for being with us and thank you as well wherever you're viewing us from around the world for joining us here at quadriga don't forget you can always send us your comments twitter facebook or you tube as well for now though for me brian thomas the entire team thanks so much for joining us hope to see you again next. ablaze. the become a million tons of sand abstain everything is ok with that lee consequences . just storms in a global me

of the aluminum that it exports into the united states. an even higher percentage of what it exports in steel into the united states. yet canada has less than 1% exemption from the application of tariffs for both its steel and its aluminum. i am not sure that is what the united states intended, but that is effectively the situation. >> ambassador, you also mentioned canada's retaliatory tariffs. say i think weto will resolve this, and resulted in a positive way in the next short while. >> what leads you to say that? >> your member i used to say that frequently during discussions around nafta, there were many who said we would never get there, and we did. going to't want to great detail, but i think we will resolve this matter soon and i hope we are, as i think that whenever there's something that makes overwhelming sense, you now, even governments and of doing the right thing eventually.

two, to replace the united states. in the late 2030s, 2040s we replace some of the world global leader and they are about doing this to have a couple pillars to accomplish it. one is the economic predators. they use that engine of investment in emerging countries to pull them to them with some pretty tough behavior which, they put money into these countries, the country's default on loans and take over the infrastructure projects that they were promising, they don't deliver a quality product, as a matter of fact they only use chinese labor when they're doing it and they insist on allowing their service system to be the main driver in that country and the telecom units as well which means they are taking over the personal intelligence of the people in the country for generations to come. they are opening up seaports as they want to be a global power like the united states. they have a navy base in djibouti, they have another one they are developing in pakistan and they are taking over many of the ports that are in the k

states is against this project buying gas from the united states would not be a problem for us but as long as russia's price is better of matter the united states russia is more attractive for us as upon on this issue i believe that as a former businessman trump can understand that we have different interests here the united states pretty much hates the north stream to gas line project and doesn't care who knows it in fact they've got as far as to put pressure on e.u. nations and on companies belonging to european countries saying that there could be potential sanctions put on them if they continue to associate with the pipeline the u.s. argument is that north stream two leaves the e.u. energy infrastructure overly reliant on russian gas and that could potentially be used as a political tool by moscow well that prompted the u.s. ambassador here in germany richard goodell to send out letters at the beginning of the year to german companies involved in the project saying that there was a significant risk of sanctions should they continue their involvement a month later the ambassador wa

yes the united states acknowledged a russian withdrawal from the agreement was a distinct possibility when it announced it was stepping away from the deal secretary of state mike pompei always said however that the united states couldn't continue to abide by this agreement in the restrictions that it placed on the united states when russia continued to not obey the agreement basically china is as much a concern for the united states as russia at this point china is not a party to the treaty it wasn't a military party in the military power when the treaty was signed back in the eighty's it has since begun deploying missiles the very kind that are limited by this treaty in asia and that has the united states concerned and they feel strong in trying to deal with that because of the treaty that's why they say they stepped away so if they and president trump has actually suggested that the united states might be open to renegotiating this treaty but if they thought they could get china to come onboard the chinese foreign ministry is shutting that down now they issued a statement saying tha

there's a lot on the books in the united kingdom. it is tied into brexit and so it's not been implemented and the baltic states have passed laws but to the best of my understanding in terms of sanctions deal only with visa restrictions, meaning designated individuals can't enter the territory of the states, but have no economic impact, which for obvious reasons is very important. so in december, the dutch foreign ministry led a conversation at the gathering of e.u. foreign ministers that happens on a regular basis around whether the european union would start the process of designing a law similar to the global magnitsky act that would hold across the 28 member states of the european union. that conversation is in very early stages. there is no draft text of the law that would put on the books this program might look like and a number of organizations including mine as you mentioned are involved speaking with member states and components of the european union around with a viable magnitsky program might look like. you asked about poi

and that the only thing that the united states respects is a country with nuclear weapons the united states has never attacked a country. the demilitarized zone divides the korean peninsula into north and south at the thirty eighth parallel. the armies of both sides face each other along the border. this standoff has continued since the end of the korean conflict in one nine hundred fifty three back in october two thousand and six north korea successfully carried out its first test of a nuclear device a move that threatened to upset the precarious balance of power in the region. a triumphant north korea says its latest a ballistic missile test demonstrates that it now has the capability to strike anywhere in the united states. the nuclear test made headlines around the world but north korea's transformation into a nuclear power should come as no surprise. they've been working toward this goal for decades it's a sophisticated program that got its start even before the north korean state was founded in one nine hundred forty eight. during world war two many koreans were taken to japan

amy: what is happening at the united nations? unit with the un's secretary-general three times.e just played a clip of michelle bachelet, former president of chile. what do you want to happen right now and you want involvement of the pope, of mexico, with the new president will but your? >> in the united nations, there is a member of the united nations, venezuela, being under attack. the countries that are attacking venezuela are violating every single principle of the charter of the united nations. we expect for the general assembly to raise the voice and condemn this intervention in venezuela and not to be silent when the charter is being violated. what we're trying to do also in the united nations is to let them know the truth, what is happening. that is why i have met three times with them, as well we want the organizations of the united it iss to help us because their duty as well. because what is the real problem? banks don't want to work with venezuela, so anything that happens through new york or through london -- which are most of the sanctions in the western world -- a
