moment ofat from the surrender, the authority of the emperor and the japanese government to rule the state shall be subject to the supreme manner of the allied powers. the note went on to reiterate the u.s. position that the ultimate form of japanese government will be chosen by the japanese people. you can detect in the burns note an implication that the emperor will be recognized in interim status. that would be consistent with interest of the u.s. and its allies who were anxious to use the authority of emperor hirohito to security compliance of all japanese, especially the japan's armed forces with the surrender. nothing in the burns note altered the basic pledge of the pottsdam proclamation about the people. the note emphasized it at every there was considerable internal point. debate within the leadership of japan over whether the burns note offered prospect of survival of the imperial institution. on august 12, the foreign minister advised the emperor that they administer believed it posed no danger to the institution. the next day on august 13, explaining his resolve to accept

the trade of the empire. this system is going to further arelop, additional acts passed in 1663, 6096 that further tighten the economic dimensions of this developing english empire. but throughout the same decades, the crown did almost nothing to defend the largely coastal english populations in america. from thein america hostile actions of european powers and native americans. we are seeing with english empire looks like and 60 and 75. at least with respect to the main lands. it is very coastal in its character. in 1664, charles ordered aggressive actions be taken in africa and north america, in the conquest of new netherlands. these moves precipitated the outbreak of a second anglo dutch war. a famous admiral retaliated by shifting the company of royal adventure is from all of trading posts in west africa and crossed the atlantic and attacked barbados. other dutch naval forces burnt tobacco ships and the chesapeake in 1667 and 1673 during the third and final anglo dutch war. however, no effort is made by e

for the united states that is 3% that the united states charges with the rest of the world. mexico has a slightly higher rate so the exports would hurt more than those in the united states and of the agricultural goods it is 20% for this outcome would hurt the united states more than it would hurt mexico in terms of exports. finally mexico made it clear that it would respond to any taxes on its own. with my final comment, more productively mexico is also aggressively playing the china card and we've heard numbers imports contained 40% u.s. content and china is only 4% and mexico is using that fact with the trump administration but mexico also realizes the united states needed to remain globally competitive to reduce the trade deficit with china if needs to trade with mexico because we've produced things together and competitively. finally, if the taxes are imposed with mexico that isn't going to leave them to come back to the united states committed well to go to another low-cost producer in order to be able to compete globally and with that i will finish my remarks. thank y

the barrier on the southern border. live.washington journal join the discussion. foreign secretary boris johnson was -- boris itnson assured a member that would not be affected by the recent executive order signed by president trump. who expressed concern about executive order and future relations with the trump administration. this occurred under the executive order and was temporarily stopped by a judge in seattle. the floor and commonwealth affairs by a bush ally to make a statement on the implications of this country other recent changes of the immigration policy. it may be helpful if i described for the house the consequences of british citizens and nationals of the executive order issued last friday. let me begin by saying this is not our policy or a measure that this government would consider. those measures that discriminate on nationality are wrong. president trump issued the executive order banning intrigue over a period of 90 days. syria, iraq, iran, somalia syria, iraq, iran, somalia, yemen, libya, and sadda

it was the french officers directed the siege and the placement of the trenches and the gunfire and suffered twice the casualties during the battle. once they had captured the nine and ten, the situation is second in command which was the scene of the painting. they considered the victory to be a french one and offered to surrender. they understood the moment belonged to washington so with that word, he gestured head over to washington and washington intern gestured him to his own second-in-command benjamin lincoln. after yorktown, there were no more major american battles but that doesn't mean that the battle stopped. between the alliance for other nations in fact by the time that yorktown, britain was fighting separate nationstates and it was simply overwhelmed. for example they absorbed over 60,000 spanish troops but ultimately failed. the fighting was that fierce. fans had allied with the kingdom in india to drive the company from the continent and in fact the last major battle of the war was equally fierce intent and six months after the peace treaties have been signed. 1783 ended up ei

, on the effect of the initiative on the iran-iraq war. item, insufficient attention was given to the implications of the nse staff having operational control of the initiative rather than the cia. concern for preserving the secrecy of the initiative provided an excuse for abandoning sound process. item, the informality of the initiative meant that it lacked a formal institutional record and informed analysis. the result was that we were too often dependent on mere recollection, instead of a clear and complete record. item, the implementation of the initiative was never subjected to a rigorous review at appropriate times in this long a team of history. -- 18 month history. the board reached several conclusions regarding responsibility. this is not an exhaustive list, but some of the highlights. i would be surprised if the list answered all the questions that you would like to put, but i hope that these will get you started. system was not work unless the president makes it work. after all, this system was created to serve the president of

>> the reality is the conversation between the administration and the u.k. government has been going on for many months. we have to say, we became aware of the policies when it was being enacted by the president on friday evening and since then, we have worked hard to secure the exemptions and protections that we have today. >> mr. speaker, given that the foreign secretary has said today that the u.s. president's policy is divisive and wrong, can the house assume that he will strengthen any representation he made on this policy to the u.s., our friends in the u.s. by working closely in partnership with our counterparts in the european union and the council of europe? >> we already worked very closely, locked at the hip with our partners in the eu on foreign and security policies and we will continue to do so by the way once we have met with the european union. >> i am grateful to the foreign secretary. many thousands of people will be confident that all british passport holders will be able to travel into the u.s.. those with a legal right to be here will be

we know the cases are on the rise throughout the country. one health care employees diverging the substances can be a public health risk and can cause significant harm to many patients.. we learned this lesson the hard way in new hampshire with a technician who was injecting himself at a hospital in new hampshire but it turned out this started at the baltimore va medical center and continued at more than a dozen hospitals in other states infecting up to 50 patients in the community with hepatitis c and some of the patients were veterans. from this example it is clear the nationwide trend alsoso impacts the va. the whole system is one of the leading prescribers of opioid medication. the diversion threatens the safety of the veterans and hampers efforts to address the opioid epidemic in the communities. i find them particularly troublesome. some of the facilities are not conducting routine inspections to prevent and identify drugent diversion. background investigations that could potentially identify finding employees who have diverted drugs o

but he was on the beach at the time of the attack. realising no one was helping the injured, he did something quite extraordinary, running back to the scene of the attack after taking his wife to the safety of their hotel. i ran towards the gunfire. i could now see bodies on the beach. i hit the deck. and as i hit the sand, i literally fell into a lady. i could see the lady was moving and was semiconscious. she had some severe gunshot wounds. i dressed her hand, and covered her wrist with a scarf i pulled down from a beach umbrella. she then said she had pain in her leg, and i noticed she had a hole in her leg. so i got a beach towel and wrapped it around her leg to compress the injury and stop the bleeding. mr pembroke‘s actions saved the life of the woman, whose husband lay dead beside her. just three months earlier, foreign tourists had been targeted in an attack by islamist extremists in the capital, tunis, leaving 20 dead. but the foreign office did not change its overall travel advice. the colour—coded map on its website rem

the role of the judiciary is not the role of the judge, the president policy choices. you have to go to a decision you don't agree with in order to uphold the law. in this case, the law is clearly on the president side. what this does, martha, politically, this dramatically increases the stakes in the neil gorsuch nomination. republicans will have to use the nuclear option. democrats will be under incredible pressure right not to delay, postpone, obfuscate, derail his nomination. they have a 4-4 split court. they have a better chance of defeating trump. imagine if you are the democratic senator who gives the deciding vote to let the denomination go through and then, he rolls and a 5-4 court in favor of trump. you will be castigated by the media, but the liberal base. they will be under enormous pressure to stop him and to delay and use the filibuster. republicans may have no choice but to go nuclear to give them on the court. >> martha: a very dramatic situation when you put those things together. when you pile on top of that, all of the campaign promises that presiden

the first day of the fight, on the first day of the fight, the cumberland, the doomed cumberland got off a lucky shot that blew off the muzzle of one of the confederate guns, and -- but, basically, what happened was two people died on the merrimack and 400 people died on the union ship. that gives some idea of why this battle frightened people. on the next day, nobody was hurt on either ship except poor captain warden who, again, was temporarily blinded, but he got his sight back. but the horrible, disproportionate losses of the first day also gave a grim look into what would be going on in the next century when you were going to be sending men against machine guns. the heavy machinery is not easily taken by human flesh. okay? >> given the first day results, why were they not more aggressive after that, the merrimack? or did they really feel -- >> you know, it's sort of interesting that both ships, that the merrimack, it was a very cumbersome ship to handle, and it had been knocked around. but they were eager to get back in the fight. the monitor wanted to too. but all of a sudden, b

the rules for the banks. unless you repeal the whole thing by legislation, you cannot go in peace beyond and make chances. what donald trump might do is put in a new vice chair at the fed for financial regulation which was created by the dodd-frank law but was never failed. it may start dismantling the regulations. when you start dismantling regulations, how important are these internationals and are in these kinds of forms? -- forums? >> these are global markets. if you start to not have rules that are in some sense common across them, you will undermine the ability of everyone to achieve their objectives. it will be a race to the bottom. the reason you have this international coordination, is unless it you do that the standards for the world and that is a recipe for further big crises. that is not what we want. a part from the downside, if you are running a business, if you move away from uniform rules that you know across many nations into an unknown situation, it is harder on your business. >> i would agr

so i appreciate the intentions to expand services in the jail in the setting, but the problem with the intentions is that they do not line up with evidence based out come that mental health professionals have said again and again. what i don't see in the pro-he posal is recommendations or opinions from the mental health experts, and the workforce development field. who work with returning citizens. so i urge that this body as well as the board of supervisors consider rejecting the funding as a part of the proposal. and in addition from the perspective of housing, i feel that it is posht important to say that the displacement of the vulnerable residents, many of whom end up in the jail, because 25 percent of inmates have been homeless before and will be homeless again, the displacement increases incarceration and if the over all strategy is decars ration and so we need to invest in alternatives. in light of a judge's order to evict a 100-year-old black woman with 56 of the population in the jail being black residents and that population declining in the city of san francisco, i feel tha
