the u.s. engagement with other parts of the world, there are regularized leader summits. the president of the united states will meet with those regional partners. we do not have that in the middle east. i think that is what this process has started. it's important for the next administration to continue it. in the first six months of the next presidency, it recommends that there is another one of these leaders summit. i think that is a good idea. i think that there is another ministerial meeting for foreign and defense ministers with their golf counterparts. -- gulf counterparts. and although the report notes it might be a bridge too far to think about more finding security alliances, like nato, there are some ideas that we could import into the conversation. for example, it might not be article 5, mutual self-defense, but it could be article 4 of the nato treaty. a consultative mechanism that is built into the alliance that, if a particular partner feels threatened, they can call for immediate immediate -- emergency consultation. that is something we can look at as a regional security architecture

the united states. well, those days are so long -- so long gone that we can joke about it now. today our border with united states is a source of prosperity and opportunities for both countries. when you look at the data, you reach a conclusion that you will not hear often these days. so i will say it here, loud and clear, because it is important. the united states benefits greatly from the economic relation with mexico. and the american people benefit immensely from the presence of mexicans in this country. and this is natural because we are ally and we are friends. we live in a world where no country can face alone the major economic challenges of the 21st century. competition is fierce. so the region that proves to be more competitive will trade more goods and export more services. it will attract more investment and create more jobs. this is why we are convinced that one of the best ways for the united states to maintain and increase its global competitiveness is to consolidate and expand trade, investment, cooperation, and integrated chains of value with mexico. mexico's network of 12 free trad

it has a special relationship with the united states and with the community., parliaments and courts are not the supreme law of the land. they cannot signheir own free trade deals and they cannot control their own borders. we would never allow this in the usa so why would we want to support something like this for the closest ally? discussing these issues today, we have a distinguished panel. our first speaker is dr. victoria coates, currently serving as the national security advisor for senator ted cruz. she is a cultural historian who received her phd from the university of pennsylvania, specializing in italian renaissance studies. in 2007, she became the director of research for donald rumsfeld and provided editorial support and content analysis for the new york times bestseller "known and unknown." she is a senior fellow at the commonwealth foundation. she is a consulting curator at the cleveland museum of art. her latest book is "the history of democracy and 10 works of art." victoria? victoria coates: thank you. thank you to all of my friends here at her

our international challenge is to work the solution with the government of mexico, the source of most heroin in the united states. i can report we are working well together meshing our domestic plan with mexico's new heroin plan. we must not ignore cocaine. in two years, cocaine production in colombia has doubled. the u.s. is the traditional market for colombian cocaine. they're focused on their peace process to include a fifty-year armed conflict and we want to support that process and pursue a serious drug strategy for colombia and central america and other nations. we need to address changes in our hemisphere. afghanistan produces more than 80% of the heroine. africa is a massive transit point for trafficking moving north south and east west chinese pharmaceutical industry produces much of the world's dangerous new psychoactive substances and some old ones like that and all. the second and the greatest strategic challenge is that vast new field of organize criminal activity that is nor drugs nor terrorism. we call it transnational organized crime. it includes human smuggling and trafficking of persons

last night tactical units with the alameda county sheriff's office track the suspect to a home in the area of roberts avenue. deputies fired/bangs into the home to draw the man out but that did not work. people living nearby have been evacuated as a precaution this entire thing began with a traffic stop around 130 yesterday afternoon near a safeway on fremont boulevard and washington boulevard. authorities say the suspect and his accomplices pulled over but the driver backed into a patrol car would lead to an exchange of gunfire. and officers will hit and suffered critical injuries. the suspect and accomplices ran away. authorities tracked him down a few blocks away which led to another gunbattle. that is where a detective was shot twice. >> it sounded like a great -- grenade or something went off. next thing you know i see swat trucks. >> officers and investigators went door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the shooter. they cornered him in a home on roberts avenue around 10 pm last night. from what we understand he does not have any hostages. officers first negotiated with hi
