before the civil war the united states were and after the civil war the united states was. it was a plural nouchblt it is the first thick that quickened my attention. august 16th, 1945 he says at this moment the united states stand at the summit of the world. august 16th, 1945 winston churchill the united states stand at the summit of the world. the implications of that are what i would like to develop with you here this afternoon and i would like to call your attention, if i can spool your recollection back fourth 1940, the nice full peacetime year for the united states in world war ii and just ponder for a minute how improbable that statement made in 1945, the united states stand at this moment at the summit of the world, how improbably it would have been to say something like that in 1940. it was the 11th year of the great depression, one hoover administration and two roosevelt administrations failed to find a proper exit from that great economic crisis. 1940 unemployment was still about 17% in the crisis 2008 and 2009. it was stuck there as of 1940. historians looking ba

we see the advantage over 2+. is our two-bedroom units could we one maintain that as well. >> but i think it's important, to get at the ground level and we've had this issue come up before at the commission and their small units. people are living in small units and it adds to the importance of having access to the exterior and light and air coming injured i think it compounds in little the fact that you got small units and also reducing the size of that courtyard. it's great for student housing we want to kind of make it against you i like the fact that you're working it's good there's good things about the project. again i think the increased density here works with my not otherwise work. i'm generally supportivebut that i think is an issue. i get it. we cannot sit back-i think the opportunity for should be set back. to fit more into the context of the neighborhood but i think that's difficult and we end up losing units that we may have to add that so thank you. >> commissioner johnson >> thank you. i think we have more public comment.

in the united states, and in the united states alone, the civilian sector grew, evem around 15%. there is no country that fought the war where anything comparable was true. 1944,appened at macy's in this photograph is from 42, it's illustrative of this. in 19, towards the end of the calendar year the marketing geniuses decided they were going to have a big discount sale. they started discussing what should be the date? the one they settled on was december 7, 1944. oray, if walmart or costco somebody decided to have a 9/11 seller think -- sale i thinkw e creepy.d find that but this was within weeks of the battle of the bulge, at the height of u.s. engagement. they have the sale at the end of the dya,ay, and what they found that macy's had taken in more sales than in any single day in all of its prior history. there is simply no other country that fought world war ii where anything like that could possibly be even imagined. that a consumer retailer would have its best sale ever in the midst of this great conflict. alright, and it is during the war we see the ignition of these engin

united states really has military support. he has the boteri force to defeat north korea but their reasons for united states does not bring its military forces there. but it does lead to frustration on the part of all the people. we have this great oteri power and we spend millions of dollars every year. we need more generals like macarthur and it's natural except when trump says and when trump says when he went on to say and he would have his generals giving interviews that's when i say he does not know macarthur because macarthur gave interview after interview after interview. that's the reason he got fired by harry truman. actually there are sometimes the depression surrounds truman's decision and it wasn't as though truman, i mean truman did have a a -- there's no question about that but he didn't fire macarthur because he was mad at macarthur. he didn't fire macarthur for insubordination because he technically didn't violate anything. he fired macarthur because macarthur was deliberately creating confusion as to what american policy

the united states would go it alone. this is is what led the united states during the 20s and 30s to turn his back on europe after having engaged europe in world war i. it left the door open to the rise of nazi germany. truman learned a lesson. set up pretty much everybody in truman's generation. the lesson was, the world cannot be left to its own devices. the united the united states needs to continue to participate. that led -- the united states was going to stay in europe and it needed to ensure that europe would be strong once again. american leaders and the taxpayers did not want to be on the hook for supporting germany, for supporting other countries forever. the idea was that seed money from the united states would revive these great countries. the united states would help guide them on the path to democracy and prosperity. so it truman and george marshall were doing in europe douglas macarthur was doing in japan. there is no marshall plan for japan, but there was this single minded effort to reshape this country t

for the united nations. more than that, you have an important job to do and informing the world about our work, where we make progress and when we fall short. i deeply believe in your mission. i have been saying you are connecting the world. a connector between the united nations and the world. at a time when governments across the world are harassing journalists, cracking down on press freedom, i have worked hard to be your allies and defender. the fight for freedom of the press is everybody's fight. i have a brief today to allow maximum time for questions. let me make three points. first, syria remains a gaping hole in the conscious. it has become a synonym for hell. as i told the council three days ago, we have collectively failed the people of syria. peace will only prevail when it is accompanied by compassion, justice and accountability for the abominable crimes we have seen. second, i am closely following the deteriorating situation in south sudan. this week marks the third anniversary of the fighting.

we saw it as part of the vote here in the united states. it is now a major issue in the french elections. so it is really becoming a very critical issue as to whether nations are going to look inward. you can look inward, but you are still going to have the refugees. refugees are in danger of their life. and that's the reason they become refugees. it is not safe to be in syria today. that's why people are leaving syria and risking things like traveling over dangerous waters and dangerous borders and hostile communities. they do that because they have no choice. by the millions. with the civil war continuing in syria, those numbers are going to continue. the impact on europe has been dramatic. i understand that. the impact on the united states has been minuscule, if at all. so, yes, as i said earlier, the united states is the leader of the free world. we believe in human rights. we believe that people should be able to live and raise their family without fear of their children being kidnapped as soldiers or killed. that women have the right t

states was less than between the united states and. honduras so one has to see within the context of the rapidly expanding almost exploding economic relationship and there is room for improvement, but it was a good thing that these decisions were made. >> i will come back to that in a moment i think that becaus but e we are sitting of the one world trade, we are at the epicenter of the 9/11 tragedy and i think that today we are celebrating the rebirth of this area that we can come here and hold this event i think it's terrific. what is the role of fighting terrorism in the u.s. china relationship, what is it and what should it be? >> i think that we are threatened by terrorism and a number of where people can be pulled aside to have the beginning of a bilateral discussion. i do agree if they say get the of leaders together in this context of what the region is like coming the united states has to allies of south korea and japan. we have our responsibilities there they keep shifting like uh philippines but that will require a way of us t

fascinating what's going on at the united nations. ve, in just three hours, there will be, we think a vote condemning israeli settlements in the west bank. you know, matt bennett, israel, we have a statement from israeli officials saying that president obama and john kerry accuses the president and secretary of state of being behind this vote. orchestrating this vote. now, w we don't have reason to w whether or not that is in fact true, but it does raise questions. at a minimum it's been said they may vote yes on this resolution or abstain, showing this white house is willing to make a policy statement, a significant policy statement, that changes u.s. policy just a matter of a couple dozen days before the next president is sworn in? >> well, it changes it some, and the ambassador was right in the previous segment that, that u.s. had voted against this kind of resolution before. don't forget that the obama administration has been putting intense pressure on the netanyahu administration for years to stop the settlements. in fact, early

who is the secretary general of the united's nations. year, one was president of the human rights council so these two countries are vying for legitimacy to make the claim that they are the government of all korea. in a real bind because it has very little to make that claim in and i think with regard to human rights, and the north koreans clearly are sensitive about what has been going on. they made they suggestion about the north korean progress on areas not sensitive politically dealing with the issue of for example, people with disabilities. the north korea human rights council announced they had signed the convention on people with disabilities. they had made progress working with non-governmental organizations to work with people with disabilities. when the british hosted the olympics four years ago there were a couple of south korean disabled athletes who .articipated so, the north korean are sensitives but the problem is the political system, they are not ready to go far in terms of allowing access to information or critiques of t

made the right decision by failing to veto last week's resolution at the united of the united nations. that vote condemned israeli settlements in the west bank. but secretary of state carey said today it fell in line with decades of u.s. policy. >> the united states did in fact vote in accordance with our values. just as previous u.s. ministrations have done at the security council before us. they failed to recognize that this friend the menses of america that has done more to support israel than any other country this friend that has blocked countless efforts to do legitimate ties israel cannot be true to our own values or even the stated democratic values of israel. we cannot properly defend and protect israel if we allow a viable two state solution to be destroyed before our own eyes. tanyahu responded nicely me the speech it will have the profound disagreement that we've have with the obama administration and will become even stronger in the future. but now i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john carey. the speech that was almost as unbalanced as a anti

it is not the united states but the united states speaking for everyone. when he was talking about the nazis, is a small group try to run a lot of things. he wants to take the democracies out one by one, so things that he wants you to think of as manageable become very small. it is a small number of people that can be attacked but it is about baked things come humanity, democracy and faith and freedom. what he is starting to do is lay out his wargames that will become much more explicit. paul: at this point, charles lindbergh, who is one of the great heroes of american aviation, was very, very aggressively pro-nazi and anti-intervention. you hear the line at the end about the danger within, internal disruption. he is talking specifically about charles lindbergh. talk about that. mary: charles lindbergh, there was no hero in the world like charles lindbergh at the time. he himself had gone to germany and had seen the german war machine and came back believing that we could not beat germany. that england was toast and we should stay out of it and try to negot

breaking news right now at the united nation. a security count on a resolution demanding to an end to israeli settlement in the west bank. a lot of stuff, there is a new question for world leaders today. this morning, president-elect trump doubled down on this tweet, thursday, the united states must greatly strengthen and expand their capabilities until such time as the worldcom to i worldcom -- world comes to its censuses. >> the president-elect told you what? >> let it be an arm's race. we'll out match them in every pass. >> and out last them all. >> vladimir putin took a question at his annual press conference this morning. when someone accelerates and speeds up the arm's race, it is not us. >> joining me now is nbc's kelly o'donell and katy tur. kelly, you are in florida and mr. trump is spending the day playing golf with dwootiger woo. how is this leading the republicans in trump's team. >> reporter: one of the questions is how seriously or literally should donald trump's tweets be taken? is he trying to set policy through tw

hitler declared war on the united states. g day, congress declared war on germany and italy. 75 years later, it is difficult for us to appreciate the gravity of what had just occurred. the attack on pearl harbor thrust the united states into a struggle that would end in either our victory or our conquest. a struggle that would determine whether the lives of the american people and the lives of their descendants, born and unborn, would live with human dignity, liberty, and the rule of law, or other the forces of tyranny, oppression, and genocide. despite these tremendous stakes, the decision by japan, germany, and italy to go to war with the united states reflected a fund mental misunderstanding of the american character. at the most basic level, our enemies underestimated the blooded and sorely test of commitment to freedom that forms this country's core. understanding this and knowing that no totalitarian state could match the spirit and the human energies that a patriotic republic could unleash, fdr never waivered that the u

this puts the united states in a very strange position. and now we are going to see if america has leadership, especially the republican party of the united states, whether its congressman and foreign policy leaders outside the united states will stand up and try to correct trump in what looks like are going to be bizarre policy decisions on his part. >>ities let's circle back to sanctions in the time question for you in this segment. these sanctions, do they really work? because we saw the united states level sanctions against russia before. crimea was annexed. did sanctions matter then? will they matter now? is it an effective tool? >> sanctions are a partially effective tool. they do bite. the sanctions on russia applied after the inkurgs into east ukraine and after the annexation of crimea have induced some pain. of course the russians aren't going to withdraw from crimea in response to this. the same thing will high pressure here. they are not going to stop their cyber attacks because of this. but obama is doing this hoping it will aff

the united states is now reconsidering its position. hello, a major change in the weather coming our way later this week and just in time for christmas. if you are hoping for something white for christmas, it looks like another w will be a bigger player and that is the wind. all very different to what we have at the moment, with light winds and scenes like this in south wales on sunday, with fog. problematic at times, the kind of thing you get with high pressure, which is what we have at the moment and that's what we've had for much of december so far. as a result, most of the uk has been drier than average and quite mild too. if it carries on this way, it may be in the top ten mildest decembers on record. yes, there are changes coming. we can look to north america for the origins of that change. we've seen bitter cold arctic air, spreading out of canada into the usa, meeting the warm air from further south, and strengthening the thermal gradient, the change of temperature over a small area and that's what the jet stream thrives off and

funding to the united nations. we'll have more on israeli settlements and the vote at the united nations after headlines. meanwhile, in the west bank, israeli forces fired tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets to disperse a protest of palestinians on friday ahead of christmas celebrations in bethlehem, where christians believe jesus was born. the crackdown came as palestinians -- many dressed as santa claus -- approached israel's massive separation barrier. protesters were demanding unrestricted access to jerusalem. they currently must apply for permits to travel to the city, which borders bethlehem to t the north. president obama on friday signed the national defense authorization act, or ndaa, providing nearly $619 billion for war and military spending. the measure passed both houses of congress with a veto-proof majority and will bring troops a modest pay raise while increasing the number of active duty soldiers to more than 1.3 million. the ndaa also restricts transfers from the guantanamo prison guaranteeing

they going to come back to the united states? thank you. guest: rudy, i don't think that "coming back," is a helpful phrase because i don't think that describes the way economies work. at this point a low unemployment rate in the united people here have been able to find jobs. he question is, will future jobs be developed in the united tates or developed in other countries? i think there is some reasons to be pretty optimistic about what in oing to happen to jobs the united states. people, thing, i think the viewers of this program, i'm a e, are aware we've had large development in automation and this is continuing. more robots a lot in industry. we're seeing a lot of jobs that an be done by computers effectively and this has of inated the advantage cheap labor in many countries. necessary no longer to take many kind of products abroad to get cheaper labor and provide many services from abroad to get cheaper labor because technology let's us do sort of things in a relatively high wage country in the united states. the u.s. has some advantage

given to us, the people of the united states, in 1886. to commemorate our friendship, to commemorate our democracy. you folks know that the statue has become much more than a gift of friendship. today, she is the most recognized symbol in the world. freedom, hope, liberty, change. the idea of what the statue represents. it grows, it evolves, it changes. folks, you are a big part of what she has become today. she is all over the place. you have seen her on tv and in the movies. but when you look up to this wonderful work of art and see her in person, that is what it is all about. she is still awe-inspiring. we are going to head around the corner. we are going to talk about the three gentlemen from france who were the most influential in giving us this wonderful gift. we are now heading behind the statue to our sculpture garden paying tribute not only to the people who have donated money for the restoration of the statue and ellis island but for these three gentlemen: auguste bartholdi, gustave eiffel, and edouard rene de laboulaye. in the s

inner works of the united nations. it is a balance because on one hand you have to preserve the autonomy of individual nation states but oregon you need to set the stage for what is globally acceptable diplomacy, so the u.n. security council and the fact that the permanent members have veto power is incredibly important. today the united states an an abdicate it their role as a permanent maybe of the council by abstainening from this vote and break egg with traditional diplomatic practice. we need to remember that u.n. security counsel members are going to be changing in the new year. the nonpermanent members taking off venezuela and bringing on kazakhstan. so an interesting time for the u.n. in 2017. >> cost does this say from now on the united states doesn't inertly have israel's back? >> not at all. this is more than a last easterly do last-ditch effort by own tone make things harder for trump. the american people stand with israel and that at the voting booth in november. this does note mean a whole lot. we'll see a

sanctioned has been by the united states -- by the united nations frequently. south korea has a former foreign minister who is the secretary general of the united nations. this year, one was president of the human rights council so these two countries are vying for legitimacy to make the claim that they are the government of all korea. north korea is in a real bind because it has very little to make that claim. , theregard to human rights north koreans clearly are sensitive about what has been going on. when north koreans were first madecized, countries suggestions that north koreans ought to try to make progress on areas that were not sensitive politically. dealing with the issues of people with disabilities. when the north koreans reported , theyyears later announced they had signed the convention on people with disabilities. progress, they were working with nongovernment organizations to deal with the issue. when the british hosted the olympics four years ago, there were a couple of south korean disabled athletes. sensitive.oreans are because of the nature of

the united states is now reconsidering its position. e. yesterday's weather was all about storm barbara, the second named storm for the season. it has been a quiet winter season so far. there is barbara with cloud working into the uk. the strongest winds are in the scottish islands. reports of power supply problems here. transport disruptions as well. into the atlantic our next storm system is forming, this is connor, strong winds to the north of scotland especially on boxing day. the weather watchers had their work cut out enjoying strong winds, being driven out into the bay in lerwick by the strong winds. that is how we start the day. showers and snow in scotland mainly above 200 metres, perhaps 100 metres at times. this is mainly in the hills where we will see that. because of that, we will have icy conditions on some of the roads first thing. england and wales, a lot of dry weather to start the day. a few isolated showers working into north—west england and across wales as well first thing. the further south and east you are the bett

and this is the problem with the united nations. u've got so many undemocratic nations who resent the fact that israel is this bastien of democracy in the middle east. i met with the prime minister and he was ready to negotiate without pre-conditions at any time, any place and he favored a two state solution for two peoples. i think that's correct. and i think we ought to work towards that, and not censure israel. >> you had a chance to meet with a lot of senior israelis. talk about the public's attitude in terms of the incoming president. are they excited about a president-elect donald trump? do they think he's going to be able to get a peace deal through? >> well, i think a lot of it depends on the ideological spectrum but there's hope. there's talk about moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. which i support, we voted that in the 1990s to give the president the authority to do that. no one has done it yet but the fact of the matter is -- >> that wouldn't ignite concerns on the street level or the broader arab world? >

states at the united nations. the israelis clearly we've been hearing from the israelis and or ren will talk about that but they see this as an abandonment of a core us tenet to protect israel at the united nations from a body that the administration itself has considered very anti-israel but the reverberations for this and how significant it is are going to go on for a long time, now the international community, the united nations has declared israeli settlements a flagrant violation of international law. how will that affect future middle east peace deals and something the u.s. might broker. that's why you saw interference by president-elect donald trump. the israelis said if you go through this w this we'll reach out to the president-elect and the argue system if he does what he says he wants to do which is to get involved in a middle east peace process that this could tie his hands and clearly it would give leverage to the palestinians and that's what you saw him do yesterday and i think you'll see a swift reac
