this usually affluent district, not that far from washington, dc, has been republican handful washingtonican handful close to a0 years. but the democrats are sensing victory, sensing the donald trump's rough and tumble politics is a turnoff here. in america today, crudely speaking, the rural areas are more conservative. the city is much more liberal. so the key battleground in these elections is here in the suburbs. in 2016, they voted for donald trump. but the hope of the democrats this time round is that the well heeled middle classes will vote for them. the democratic party candidatejennifer vote for them. the democratic party candidate jennifer watts and is perfect material. married with two sons, a form of prosecutor, and politically moderate. is it about the anti— donald trump or about being pro— democrat? is a referendum on him? it is definitely come is a factor, there is no question about that. i think in the wake of a 2016 elections, a lot of people have realised that democracy is more fragile than anyone cared to admit, and they cannot just fragile than anyone cared to admit, a

we're talking in washington, dc.n nicaragua making the case for democracy for early elections, for end of repression, for all of these changes and reforms you want to see? you should be back home making that argument. i fully agree with you, and i hope that mr 0rtega watches this interview so that he will hear that i will go back to nicaragua, but as many other members of the opposition, we have not gotten any fair chance. as soon as we try to make a case for democracy, we are arrested. by the way, i am here in washington because there is a meeting of the nicaraguan diaspora, so we have a meeting... i understand you're here for a particular meeting in washington. but essentially you are in exile. you have fled your country, and you face charges in nicaragua, very, very serious charges. because the allegation from the government is that there is evidence that you were the mastermind behind what they call a criminal terrorist coup d'etat — you organised much of the violence, they say, that came after april 18. well, th

well, my guest today here in washington, dc is leading nicaraguan dissident and leader of the oppositionn exile, felix maradiaga. is change finally coming to nicaraguan nicaragua? felix maradiaga, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. it is now seven months since popular protest erupted in nicaragua and for a time it seemed there was a real chance of change coming to your country. do you feel that window of opportunity has now closed? i think that the window of opportunity for a quick fix has ended. ifeel the window of opportunity for a quick fix has ended. i feel the situation is more complicated. on the other hand, the average citizen of nicaragua, the average nicaraguan is still interested in transition towards democracy. so i think that we have not only a chance but a firm commitment to move towards democracy. would you accept that perhaps you and others in the opposition, if we can loosely quality opposition, you overestimated your ability to be the agents of change? am thinking of juan sebastian, he talked of a civic insurrection that will unite a clear majority of nicaraguans around the

through the streets of washington dc.concept of the unknown soldier being honored come about? really goes back to the beginning of the mechanization of warfare that you see expand during world war i. you have a lot more unidentifiable remains. thele were struggling with fact that they could not figure out who many of these casualties were. so great britain and france, in 1920, their aid and unknown soldier in each of their countries. the u.s. decided to do something similar. by adea was started representative from new york who submitted legislation to bury an unknown soldier from the u.s. the streetsthrough before and it is interesting to me to see how many people turned out. their civilians showing honor and patriotism toward american soldiers and really supporting the role the americans played in helping liberate france. >> now we are seeing the caskets being carried on board an american ship? >> yes. a naval ship. it had a storied history. >> there we see the disembarkation at the naval yard and washington dc. that was

it is not really about any particular person there are supporting in washington dc, you have to look at the totality of their attacks. there are throwing everything at this group of candidates and the challenge they are having is that this group of candidates cannot be fit into an ideological box. they come with amazing records of service come at whether they are see at a operatives, small business owners who have served their countries, went to a terrific school, moved home and build businesses. so the republicans are running a that theyhat era -- are struggling with to define our candidates. >> will talk about the president , which he has written about immigration, caravans, birthright citizenship, the liberal mob, he seemed focused on getting the republican base out. that hasoncerned that the potential to turn the selection into a 2016-type situation, where you get a grip of voters on the right coming basically changing the outcome of the selections? that is a great question. to keep points are important. first, he is doing that because they have nothing else to talk about. as a m

in washington dc congress is welcoming new members this week after the midterm elections. it could turn out that two californians end up in the top leadership jobs in the house.  wear washington dc it may be thousands of miles from california but the golden state is poised to have two of its politicians in positions of power. republicans kevin mccarthy of bakersfield won the job of house minority leader wednesday. >> we serve in a divided country. our goal is to unite as back together. reporter: uniting the republican party could prove difficult. mccarthy is a loyal trump supporter who faced a challenge by jim jordan, the founder of the freedom caucus in a vote of 159-43. >> i was encouraged by the fact that we got as many votes as we did. pour for the democrats nancy pelosi is vying to take back the job as a speaker. >> it helps that you have these powerful voices within both parties.>>reporter: this science professor said pelosi faces a changed party from when she became the first woman for this position in 2007. >> there is a group of primarily conservative democrats

we visited woodrow wilson's house in washington dc, where the 20th president retired in 1921, after leading the nation through world war i and its diplomatic aftermath. he died here three years later. executive director robert and homer leading us to the house, highlighting objects that provide a window into world war i, as wilson experienced it. the united states entered the war on april 6, 1917, as an ally of britain, france, and russia. 2 million american soldiers saw combat in france. >> i am the executive director of this, president woodrow wilson house, the site of the national trust for historic preservation here in washington dc. this home is the home to which president and mrs. wilson moved to the very day that they left the white house in 1921. the home itself was built in 1969 the wilson's acquired it in december 1920, knowing that they would be leaving the white house and decided to remain in washington dc. this home is a time capsule, basically taking us back about 100 years, and it allows us to see the way that the world was then, we sometimes have the illusion that people in

he came back to washington dc to prosecute murder cases in washington dc. this is a guy who just loves doing this. that's both good news and bad news for the president, right? think he'sing it, i a generally fair guy, but he loves it. he's a killer. if he has you in his sights and believes you have done something wrong, he will envelop the information to take you. he won't hesitate. but i believe him to be fair. the last point i will make is, you haven't seen anything leak out of his office. no leaking. that doesn't happen by accident, everybody. you have to work hard to make sure people inside your office know, if they leak, they are out. that's another indication about how fair robert mueller is. we should have some degree of confidence in it. i spoke with the president about this, he has a different view. given him the same advice all along. i said, when it comes to investigations there is nothing you can do to make it shorter but there are lots of things you can do to make it longer. and he has been pretty good at that.

i think we ought to have a new fiscal policy in washington, dc in which we stop the rise in the cost of living. when an individual earns a dollar, and puts it into social security or to life insurance or into pensions, then he gets a dollars worth when he retires five or 10 years from now. that would be the most effective thing that we could do for those living on social security right now. stop the rise in the cost of their living and stop the reduction of the capital they have in their pensions. i think we ought to provide a republican platform that advocates -- and this was a result of mine and others recommended that -- an automatic increase in social security benefits whenever the cost of living goes up. we should do that. third, as and when the economy of this country gets to a place where we can afford to do more without destroying the value of our dollars, of course we should increase social security benefits. let's understand this is a rich country and this country should be generous with the aged and needy and those who cannot care for themselves. we also should remember, g

all of these states, washington, dc, nota use.ut you can have it for recreational use as well, and canada, which we reported on last month has also legalised cannabis for recreational use. from a north american point of view, it's interesting to watch this debate in the uk and see where it's headed there and has slowly changing. particularly watching some of the headlines here, and it says that doctors now have the right to prescribe it but they probably won't, that's not what was saying, but it has undergone a rebrand i spoke to a farmer a few weeks ago on the world service who was changing the world service who was changing the crops he was going to grow because he knew it was going to be economically more beneficial if he stopped with wheat etc and started growing cannabis. and guess why states like legalising it, because it means tax revenue. this is beyond 100 days. still to come, we're going to hear from scientists who can see and count whales from space. now let's take a closer look at the impact that the food we buy has on

is an organization that acknowledges the basic truth that if you don't change the discussion in washington dcmay have a nice cordial conversations. we make the basic point that it will only change market forces force them to. if we can change how they think. we had activists around the country who we mobilize. in the feeling as if we can get more of our politicians in to congress. it will fate force a change of how they act and create policy. if we can get more people who think like a selected our ability to really change the terms of the legislative debate in washington would be greatly enhanced. i'm excited to do this. i don't believe that you can change that discussion with charts and graphs in the equation. i think you have to talk to people in terms of their interest. everybody wants a good job. they want to feel like a superstar at work. as a gross more and more people will go to work and feel like lebron james they will showcase their unique skills and intelligence. what is your career path. i enjoyed it. these people love what they do. i merely like it. i can't win. but always interes

distrust of washington dc, it's important to understand we are living in a world where the some of the pieces -- where the sum of the pieces is greater than the hold. because we have a large battlefield and so many candidates come from the grassroots, i don't think that is going away. the new faces in washington are going to represent folks back home. i think we are about to usher in a new crop of leaders, regardless of taking back the don't seeot, and i that going away anytime soon, this election or 2020. >> quick thoughts on a couple of races, west virginia three? ojeda is one of the best candidates in the country and fits the district incredibly well, he fits the state very, very well, and he is symbolic of the battlefield we have. he served this country for 20 years in the armed services and has a long, outstanding record of service for the country greed it is in a and fight. west virginia has a tendency to red, but they have elected democrats in the past. we built a battlefield regardless of a wave, we built a battlefield that presented an opportunity to win a majority regardless

it is a pleasure to be in washington dc among you. i have shared my ability to share fresh views on your great city. this is the place, this is an area impacting not only the state of america, also the entire world. >> we live in a time of great medical and economic insecurity. a future can no longer be predicted. fundamental rentals and values that we have known since the end of world war ii are being overturned. old alliances are being rekindled, frankly i am concerned. america first is a slogan that inspires loyalty. every nation has to put the interests of its people first . that's of course, but let us not forget that no country is an island by itself. we share one planet. we are all finding a solution to common threats. we need to be part of america. we must manage a broad consideration in the middle east and africa so that refugees can go home and find safety. doing so will and the freeze of people and countries, among them americans who feel over all the world overwhelmed by immigrants. working together we can create a better
