approval from congress where that would be the space for so you've got the army navy air force marines and now if trump has his way it would be this space force as well and it's been ridiculed by critics as this base farce but analysts say there's really good reason to join the race for the military base in the solar system in that's because russia and china are already there france has announced its own military operations in space and the worry there is that in the same way that countries have been launching cyber attacks against each other in recent years you could have countries trying to disrupt satellites that could disrupt the u.s. economy it could also have military applications is well so that is what the u.s. is looking to create here if he only has to have support from all sides of congress . the the u.s. congress would have to approve this space for so if they're going to create this 5th force they would have to approve that the president did have a secretary defense sign the creation of the u.s. space command but this is an ambitious project this is probably the most ambitious thing that a u.s. president has announced in this respect sin

well, we're another step closer to a space force.resident trump talked about many times. tracee carrasco has the story. tracee: the trump administration is set to launch the u.s. space command today. it will include 87 active units handling operations such as missile warnings, satellite surveillance, space control and support. this is seen as a precursor to a sixth branch of the military known as space force which has been proposed by president trump and requires congressional a approval. juul working to combat underage purchases in response to growing criticism over teen vaping. the company is pushing retailers to install machines that will verify a customer's age. juul is offering $100 million in incentives to get retailers on-board with the new technology. another retailer heading towards bankruptcy. or cording to bloomburg, forever 21 is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing. negotiations with potential lenders have stalled. forever 21 has more than 800 stores worldwide. and marriott is saying good-bye to those little bottl

on top interested well there are some strategy involved particularly when it comes to defense there is an airbase located there and is home or is utilized by the u.s. air force space command as well as north american aerospace defense command so presumably in the context of discussions about security with the white house staff donald trump got it into his head that perhaps the united states would find things easier if they could just buy greenland and solve many of the problems of negotiating and working out defense coordination and again this goes back to donald trump's background as a real estate developer that's how he thinks and that's how he approaches every aspect of his presidency committee thanks very much and. well betty more ahead in the news including profiting from war new figures reveal the extent of u.k. arms sales to the. coalition fighting in yemen joy and relief as refugees and migrants land in italy after a 3 week long standoff at sea we're going to have an update and in sport thinking outside of the box we're going to tell you how the shipping containers will become part of the 1st reusable world cup stadium. testers are back on the streets of h

are going well the truth will be in the reality of what really happens other going to we can reduce violence will create a space where we can withdraw not only american support but nato forces that are there as well reducing violence would be great in a country that's seen 19 years of continuous war according to the reports there are 4 key negotiating points at the moment 1st the taliban must guarantee that it will not allow foreign armed groups to use afghanistan as a base for their terrorist attacks an obvious reference to al qaeda which brought the u.s. and its allies to the country in the 1st place in return the u.s. and nato troops must pull out from afghanistan then there's the questions of a permanent cease fire an internal political dialogue and then there's a couple of elephants in the room like for example the future of cia armed and trained afghan militias a new report by a u.s. based brown university's watson institute argues in fact no real peace could be possible unless their future is addressed. throughout the militias reportedly have committed serious human rights abuses including numerous extra judicial killings of civilians cia sponsorship ensures that the

well. even in the u.s. market, as a haven asset which still has some yield around it, you will find investors forced into that spacetoo. that may be wrong from an economic long perspective, but in an investable timescale, i would still be in credit. lisa: in the past couple of weeks there has been a paradigm shift from low rates pushing people into riskier assets, yield, too low rates indicate a slow down, pushing people away from the riskier assets, and you have seen a diversion between the lowest and highest rated debt, and how people are trying to hide out in stuff that is more credit worthy. are you seeing opportunities in the lower rated credit, or are you also going into higher rated gird for what could be a downturn? matt: the opportunity has been to be crowded into the higher-quality spreads. that is a nice way to deliver supply and get income. absolutely the trade, we think that continues, and it expands into other sectors in the bond market that benefit from low rates like housing bonds, commercial real estate. that is a trade that we think continues. lisa: do you agree, jim? jim: you have to be selective

well. in addition, the department is on the verge of a significant change in how we organize and train and equip our space forcesis an important priority for you and it my team is fully engaged with committees to create for the first time in 70 years a new branch of the armed forces, the united states space force. [applause] second, we will strengthen our alliances, building a strong network of nations that are willing to fight together is an advantage that our adversaries do not possess, but this means our eye lies -- allies must contribute to our shared security. the president has called on other nations to do more and they have responded. by the end of 2020, our allies will spend additional money on defense, an unprecedented increase that will make the alliance stronger. [applause] third, we will reform the department to make the best use of every single dollar congress gives us. we have many demands and it is incumbent to look for ways no matter how strong -- small to free up money and manpower to invest back into our top priorities, we must always keep faith with the american people taxood stewards of their

well. president trump today will launch his version of space command, a precursor to the space force he wants. he can't have space force without an okay from congress so space command will be part of the air force. space command has been around for years, and here's the logo they came up to celebrate the 25 years, and our current space command was formed in 1982. it's based in peterson, colorado, at an air force base there, the place the new program announced today will be based. other news, gillibrand dropped out of the race for president. not a big surprise. she did not make the qualifications to make the debates. we will take her off the big board of candidates. would not be surprising if we see more drop out soon. we are keeping track of everything happening in the race and in washington, you can follow me on twitter, i am @scottmcgrew. >>> and then dorian churning in the atlantic, and moving closer to florida. it could become a category 3 storm, a major hurricane with wind speeds up to 129 miles per hour. >> this morning people living along florida's atlantic coast are scrambling, but th

well. today president trump will launch his version of space command, a precursor to the space force he wantsu can't have space force without an okay from congress, and keep in mind space command has been around for years. in fact, here's the 25th anniversary logo that came up to celebrate that milestone. it just landed a super secret space plane after two years in orbit the other day. the space command will be based in colorado, and it's responsible for our nuclear missile launches, launches secret space missions and early warnings among other things. donald trump angry with lawrence o'donnell with a statement he made on his show. the claim was made by a single anonymous source who had not seen the documents. that does not reach the standard that msnbc parent company goes for. he was forced to apologize and the tweetoes on for lawrence o'donnell. checking the old video, the previous apology, i see crying. you can follow me on twitter, i am @scottmcgrew. >>> and then a storm growing in the atlantic, and this morning there's a big concern as it moves closer to the u.s. mainland. puerto rico do

well. and i think actually, even in the u.s. market is a haven asset which has still got some yield around it. you are going to find investors forced into that space that may all be wrong from an economic long perspective, but in an investable timescale, i would still very much be in credit. lisa: i would say in the past couple of weeks, there has been a paradigm shift from low rates pushes people into riskier assets, into yield, to low rates indicate a slow down, pushing people away from some of the riskier assets, and you have seen a diversion between the lowest rated debt highest rated and the debt, and how people are trying to hide out in stuff that seems better -- more credit worthy. how are you viewing that? are you seeing opportunities in the lower rated credit, or are you also going into higher rated debt in a, basically -- to gird for what could be a downturn? matt: the opportunity has been to be crowded into the higher-quality spread alternatives to government bonds. the single a, bbb is a nice way to diversify and get some extra income. that is absolutely the trade, we think that trade continues, and it expands into other sectors in the

on the latest of where the storm is headed and the timing, as well you look at that something from space, it looks dangerous. >> tropical forcee center of the storm. hurricane force winds about 25 miles. right now, it is 717 miles east/southeast of west palm beach. 105-mile-per-hour winds. it's slowed down northwest to 12 miles per hour it's a category 2 storm. what do the categories mean? it is the saffir-simpson scale category 1 storm, basically, winds with 74 to 95 miles per hour roof shingles, siding torn off, branches are snapped category 2, where dorian is, 96 to 110 miles, extensive roof damage, trees uprooted, 20 times more destructive than a category 1. cat three, 129 miles per hour wind speeds. power out for days to weeks. 60 miles more destructive than a cat 1. category 4, which dorian is expected to make landfall as, catastrophic damage. 250 times more destructive than a cat 1. category 5, top of the scale, homes completely destroyed, areas uninhabitable for weeks to months 550 times more destructive than a category 1 storm now, the saffir-simpson scale is wind strength, the storm surge flooding from rain and the

wellness tool for people w.h.o. want to be fit and healthy or whether it's something that could be more in the medical space and as they've been rolling out those features it's forced apple to start to play differently and think differently. how do you launch a medical feature? apple has never done that before how do you communicate with physicians about it and convince them that it's safe for their patients that's another thing that came up internally. some employees wanted to say, change the playbook on apple and do things differently, less secrecy, more transparency and more work to convince doctors its tools are safe. >> how does it speak to challenges to apple as it thinks about its strategy for health and how much does it speak to tech companies getting involved in the sector more broadly and the fact there's so much opportunity for disruption but as we've seen for years now, so many challenges that come with being able to forge ahead on it? >> yeah, that's a great point because these are problems i'm seeing across several of the largest technology companies it is certainly not just apple facing these issues. you see this at amazon you see glimmers of this at

congress chooses to create a space force he will inherit it. .his is not an example this is not an example of power struggles within the dod. we are getting along very well and i think all the key decision-makers are completely why the on the need for sda and what it is trying to do. i can't say it any better. the lady over here. i will finish off by saying don't expect us to stand up a new capability with no management churn. if that is your expectation, go somewhere else because it can't deliver it. >> i am reporter with voice of america. i was wondering what your current assessment is on north korea's missile capabilities especially after they launched 10 projectiles over the last weeks. dr. griffin: i have no public comment to make about north korea's missile capability. wouldould -- assessment belong to our intelligence community and that is not my job. ms. heinrichs: i just hosted the director of defense intelligence agency here we talked a lot about missiles and that is on our website. we have time for one last question. we will go here in the back. you can ask it racially. -- briefly. >> one question on iran. thatyear congress was told he said th

forced from their homes. the multitasking robot that's being sent to the international space station to do the job of a cosmonaut. well parts of turkey are going to be seeing some severe weather as we go through the overnight hours of wednesday and into thursday and you can see this area of low pressure that spinning across much of the black sea so as we go towards friday rain showers are still going to be a problem anywhere towards the east of that southerly coast so we could be watching that very very carefully for the rest of the region though fairly dry we're going to be seeing aleppo at 36 degrees here on friday beirut at 31 and baghdad while your temperatures are on the way up and by the time we get to saturday we do expect to see a high few of about 47 degrees well as you make our way down here across much of the gulf the winds are going to be kicking up and we could be seeing some rain showers. in certain locations we'll be watching that very carefully but the minute he is also going to be on this way up as well so far don't expect to see a high here on friday of 39 degrees more wins by the time we get towards

will this space force, whatever you want to call it have the highest priority or what? >> wellery minimal we're talking about bureaucratic rearranging of chairs basically. neil: right. >> a lot of chairs in the pentagon will shift from one sector to the next sector in the pentagon. when it comes to hardware, that is what we're talking about, billions of dollars. there is all the overlap. overlap, redundant systems. good news is, it will hopefully streamline some of redundancies in hardware the military has. centralize it, put focus in outer space. that is where a lot of action will be. but the danger is, it could spark a new arms race with the russians, meaning that we may need a new outer space treaty of 1967. it is that long ago that we had a treaty to set the ground rules for outer space. that has to be revised. neil: we're busy with, is it your sense. you talk about accidents on the ground with the russians. >> right. neil: what if the same thing happened in space? >> it definitely could happen and the danger is, even if north cree could send a keg of nails with dynamite, t

forces so it might as well -- we did better in exercises thinking that way. operationsnable the of a commander or air component to it how could we use the capabilities of space and protect them at the same time collectively question we see these now in the national strategy for the end of pacific endo-pacfic. so recognition this is a requirement calls for a much closer integration. let me make one last comment. , buteither from the navy from the first class that included women at the u.s. military academy and you'll be glad you did it when you make the change. don't fight it, take advantage of it, it will make you much better. i look forward to seeing the future highly improved. >> thank you. >> i like to continue on. when you say army and marine, they receive less spotlight than the other armed forces, but i say most of the hard-working people are the armies because they have very difficult missions. they have to face other soldiers face-to-face. i have to say from the ground, we take so much and are prepared for so much. when we look at this security also air, sea, ground, we are now including cyber and space. ai, thoseok at 5g and are adding more complex

on the ground if we can reduce violence, we'll create a space where we can withdraw not only american support but nato forces that are there as wellortant thing i think in terms of our viewers is probably tariffs in china obviously. and we still don't know whether a big deal is possible before the election and we're hearing the way that this is resolved near term is with half measures that kick the can down the road and maybe get some ag buys and some agreements that aren't codified in the chinese law but some assurances, but those haven't worked in the past can we expect anything better before november of 2020 when xi knows there's an election here >> joe, i've not heard the president talk about these half measures that you speak of he's been very focused on achieving a set of priorities that he laid out for the team. >> is that possible for the election >> it's up to president xi and the two of them have developed a good relationship. i hope the teams get back together in the next week or ten days, at least by phone and then perhaps in person shortly after that i don't know the outcome in the end, the chinese government has to m

space. and i have read that you were among some here at jpl thinking about sending dogs to the moon. tell us that story. >> well, we were part of a -- the initial task force of trying to figure out how to put astronauts on the moon. we had a bunch of people, they went back to washington and they were helping with this program. some of us were saying, that is crazy. why do you want to put people on the moon? there's no air in there. something says, well, why don't we train some dogs. you can train dogs to do remarkable things, you know. we can teach them what they need to do, how to use a hammer or something like that, put them in little space suits and then when they're done, they die, but you don't have to worry about bringing them back. we actually -- >> you're a dog hater. [ laughter ] >> i'm not a dog hater. i'm neutral about dogs. dogs have a way of an affinity for me. so do goats. i'll tell you the story about the goats sometime. >> another time. that idea obviously went nowhere very fast, i'm sure. >> okay, okay. >> arden, i want to ask about the origins of the moon. can you speak about what some of the thoughts are that scientists have about how o
