in both special branch training mi5-sisand in the joint station in singapore. the brits did not hand over running of this regional training facility until the late 1960's, a good 10 years after malaysian independence. then continued to fund the training well into the 1970's. it continued to act as a british tool of influence in the region through into the 1970's. comparison with what the americans were doing, back home at least, as i said a lot of literature tends to take an american focus and suggested u.s., u.s., from a western perspective was dominating sector. the brits were quite comparable in both the number of territories from which officers were coming in the actual quantity of students themselves as well. just to reinforce the point, the british were a major player in this area. what of the anglo-american liaison dimension to this? there was a certain degree of cooperation. there was a division of labor between inside southeast asia, which was formalized in 1954-1955 between mi five-sis and the cia. the brits would focus and take the lead in the common

in 1914. hoover organized an american relief committee that provided food, shelter, and financial assistance to over 100,000 americans. hoover's leadership earned him the respect of the u.s. ambassador to great britain walter heinz page. ambassador page tapped hoover to lead a relief mission to belgium after the battle of the marn, belgium faced starvation. germany had invaded but refused to take responsibility for feeding the populous. on the other side britain's naval blockade prevented ships from entering belgian ports. on october 22nd, 1914, herbert hoover established an organization to procure and deliver food to the starving belgian population, rescuing a nation from certain ruin. >> there was no former human experience to turn for guidance. it would require that we find the major food supply for a whole nation, raise the money to pay for it, get it passed navies at see and occupy on land. set up an agency of distribution of supplies for everybody justly and see that the enemy took none

the munching on my -- emmett till in 1965, a conference in indonesia in 1955. the montgomery bus boycott says well. by the time the general and his generation finished high school in the late 1950's, recession had hit the auto industry hard. world cradled the expectations and dreams of young detroiters was crumbling. the new reality that they faced bys perhaps best illustrated the unemployment figures represent black male unemployment versus white male between 1950-1960. unemployment in 1960 was 6.1%, down 4/10 of 1% from what it had been in 1950. that's for white males. like male owner -- unemployment 1960, which was up 6.5% from what it had been in 1950. another fact about these figures does this does not this aggregate black youth. we haven't done this yet -- from the black total -- total for black male employment. had it done so, it is looking like it would have roughly been for black youth, around 30% in 1960. work in the auto industry and union membership no longer represented the great leap forward that it had for their parents, the parents of this young

in the classroom in poverty. that concentrated poverty level makes it very difficult for the teacher and for the children to learn. i don't know why we pretend that when it comes to schools that this does not matter. 90% freeer's school is and reduced lunch. parents and the school live in public housing except for 8% of us who do not read -- of us who do not. they can find all kinds of things in that school that my daughter's school can never find. a child in the school wants to apply to harvard. there are no teachers and my daughter's school who could ride a recommendation. when we discount these things, we are not being realistic. i don't believe your children are in an all-black poor school. but all of us understand that if we have a choice, we do not enroll our children in schools like that. to pretend that is somehow ok not a problem for those parents is dishonest. -- i think wento have clear lines of demarcation from the argument. [laughter] jason: yes. >> what i am interested in now -- one of the important

abroad in the west in our society. and were trying to think about what that really means and how to live faithfully in the current context. so the plow magazine is on everybody's chair in american conservative i believe is on everybody chair and there are subscription cards and those magazines ready for you to fill out. and because we are cheap we didn't provide that's not true. we didn't provide everybody a cop because we were assuming given like an audience like this of so many wonderful people we assumed you were subscribers already. if perchance years was lost in the mail we would be happy to provide you with a copy in the entryway as well as an opportunity to subscribe. enough of the promotion and sales pitch. it's really my honor to be able to introduce our speaker he is an accomplished author on little way. and how dante can save your life and then of course the book that we have before us for tonight the benedict option. i think more than an author he's really a teacher his blood is a place where not thousands

in the same month of the attack in brussels, a child was killed and 600 iraqis injured in a chemical attack just south of kirkuk. isis is carried out hoyer ifk attacks in the streets of paris and paris and istanbul each planned from its headquarters in raqqah. in which will be a major point of discussion among us today. as we commemorate and mourn for the victims of isis's hatred, let us honor them with dedication to victory. the commonality among we have gathered today as a commitment to bringing down a force of evil. the success of our mission depends on our devotion to defeating this terrorist organization. we identified over $2 billion in humanitarian, stablization and demining needs for liberated areas in iraq and syria for 2017. i'm pleased to announce we have surpassed that total in dollar pledges. let's fulfill our pledges to we can disperse our funds we need to carry out our operations for the rest of the year. reflecting on the past year we should should be encouraged by the progress we as a coalition are making. in addition to the latest meaningful contributions the fighte

here in the blue we have the move in wages. we did see some pickup in 2016 in wages. perhaps that can came down again. it is not enough to get the japanese consumers spending. the international climate keeps lifting things. luke: in a sense, the yen performs as a safe haven currency. the geopolitical noise is keeping pressure on the upside. that is just suppressing inflation as well. inflation,y did have with the wage situation now, it would not be good for them. it would suppress growth as real wages come under pressure, like the u.k.. real wages come under pressure. i think the structure of the labor economy in japan is interesting. behold the publicizing -- the izing is making a difference. people will be glad the robot helps them get productivity higher. anna: we talked about the challenges the central bank has with the driving up of inflation -- some people say technology is made in a different. is that something, not just with japan, but in general, in western countries, it is making it difficult for the central bank with inflation because of the technology. luk

inception of the internet until these rules were passed from the internet was free and open. there was not a problem. as the chairman said, there was no dystopian controlled internet with anybody interfering with the ability to post content or look at the content of their choice. >> watch the communicators monday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span two. >> up next, historians describe the great famine in ireland during the mid-19th century. discuss how people across the globe contributed to relief efforts. they focus on a story of a group of bostonians who build a ship called the jamestown with supplies. the american historical society but massachusetts most of this event. >> you may have noticed this event originally called for our here.r bill fowler to be he is my predecessor at the historical society, which many of you already know. he is a distinguished repressor of history at northeastern -- professor of history at northeastern. we realized that such a fundamental story of the iris

in the west there's doubt and in -- certainly in the areas that you pointed out there's doubt. so there's this pedagoguic for liberals to make the case about what the free society is about all over again. i hope that helps. >> other student question? way in the back corner there. would you identify yourself, please. >> thank you for this talk. my name is jonathan, i'm a senior in the woodrow wilson school here. it seems that modern illiberalism seems to thrive off the increasing problems, especially compared to the '90s where there was ideological end of history. my question is to what extent do you think modern illiberalism is identified by a ideology and to which do you think it would acquire one with opposition to liberalism? >> that's a very good question as well. i think that they actually are far more coocc more coherent th give them credit for. nels are ideas that have been developing for a long time. they have a sense of opportunity now because they think that liberalism is under question like never before. there was -- you're right. in the '90s there was not a challeng

in some cases, i believe if in round 2, the. the administration itself was divided over how to handle east-west relations. richard pipes, in one of his myriad long memo, this is a strategy that the united states already tried. it failed. it was known as detente. >> but two teachers that i think represent, in many ways, the two tracks. in short, the administration regains its confidence from about 1983 and they can comfortably. people wonder whether ronald reeg on will en. this is the most important question he is going to get at home. >> this the deploy. it created a vicious cycle. the carter administrations had summarized it as a clear long-term problem in order to keep deployment for the missiles on board until the deployments were scheduled in 1983, the united states needed progress in arms control. but they feared and assumed they would get no progress on arms control until the missiles were deployed. so how, then, do you pay for this year's long problem? the reagan administration stays the course with the dual track decisio

in russia and in china, in cuba, and countries around the world. and trying to have the world rights movement. . >> we know that several groups are persecuted. they call non-traditional religious minorities. one of them is jehovah's witnesses. going to file a claim to ban this group. >> thank you. being the right policy to bring about change. then religious freedom. who wants to take them. >> i'll take the first two. might want to say something about the third. there are a lot of things that we can do. i think the sanctions we now have are minimal. we have to protect ourselves and protect the information space. not allowing these planes to be bombing in syria and ukraine. you know, but probably the most effective thing we could do is to really cut off access to our investment system. reorganized crime and corruption reporting project. which just came out with a report that the guardian reported on. $20 billion of stolen money. could be as high as $80 billion. the video that they did about medvedev had $1 million. but it's much, much more than that.

we said, to heck with it, we're going to spend that money in tunisia, in iraq, in syria, in places where we are equally pressing interests but partners wanting to work with us. >> thank you very much. mr. abrams, you mentioned that egypt is purchasing russian military equipment. russian special forces have been dispatched to the western desert in egypt. since intervening in syria, there's been a lot of concern about russia asserting itself in the middle east. by changing how we provide aid, are we giving russians an opportunity for more influence in egypt and in the region as a whole? what's the consequences to russia and its influence based on decisions we might make? >> i think one would have to say that there would be something of an opening for the russians. they, unlike the golf states which are giving tens of billions of dollars, the united states, we give about a billion and a half a year, the russians are not going to give them that kind of money. but they would be willing to make loans and sell arms equipment, and they throw their weight around in cairo. if they see a weakening

change in. today though was the globalization and the changing position in the world. but in the jacksonian period, this was a time of great geographic expansion so it goes from being an east coast nation to being a continental empire. when the book ends, california is the west and they are also faced with massive immigration into how and why to incorporate those in the spanish and french empire so the key issues are the same for the citizenship and america's destiny and because those were not resolved in the jacksonian period we are now reliving those and one of the things that will come out of the book is looking at experiments in the past and their hopes and ideals will get some food for thought once w as we face theses again. >> when you write a book about crime and genocide one of the things you can't escap he can'te request of justice, the desire to uncover the crimes of the perpetrators have all too often successfully concealed for the people that like what they did continue to conceal so

i believe in the removal of all advances in women's advances in society, in the professional and political world. so absolutely, i am focused on in the essence of work place sexism. in my writing we are not simply not working individuals. there is a public side of our lives in the private side of our lives. and central persona in a book, i talked about the psychological, the dreamlike of mankind. there are all kinds of primitive impulses in us that are very -- do we want to understand ourselves as human beings or what? but we cannot simply define human beings in terms of what are in the workplace or in the political realm. and i believe that was actually the biggest left of the 1960s. we were talking about turning away from materialistic careerism and embarking on a kind of cosmic quest for meaning in the universe. i think my work offers a dual perspective. i'm talking about women's advance in society. that helps that and also talk about our need as human beings to expand our imaginations. even though i'm an atheist, have a very spiritualistic view of the universe and that is my particular

in sweden, police say the man arrested in connection with the lorry attack in stockholm on friday was known to the security services. he is a 39—year—old man from uzbekistan. the attack killed four people and wounded fifteen others. detectives also say they found a suspicious device inside the truck. danjohnson reports from stockholm. late last night, a glimpse of the ordinary delivery truck that was turned against people in a moment of terror. it was towed away to be examined and police made a worrying discovery. we have found something in the truck in the driver's seat. a technical device which should not be there. i cannot at this stage say that this is a bomb. the man they think was at the wheel has connections here, a poor suburb north of the city. he hasn't been named but he's a 39—year—old from uzbekistan. we understand he was registered at one of the addresses in this block, although we don't know if he actually lived here. people have told us the police will here in number until the early hours of the morning and they've taken some people away for questioning. in the

we saw it in the crushing of georgia in 2008. in the annexation of crimea in 2014. and we see it to the present day in the ongoing war in eastern ukraine. for the west, russia's return to the world stage has been nothing more than pure advantagism. for russia it's restoring some balance with their relationship with the west. the narrative of restoring the balance, correcting the injustice and the distortions of the 1990s has been the essential -- absolutely essential to the russian propaganda since the beginning of the putin era. those russians who disagree, are branded as foreign agents and enemies of the people. russia's capabilities should not be overestimated. its gdp is $1.3 trillion verses u.s. gdp $18 trillion. russian defense spending is $65 billion, that's a little more than president trump's proposed increase in u.s. defense spending. the russian military is stronger than its smaller and weaker neighbors. yet the balance does not favor russia when compared to nato. a nato/russia war would be an act of mutual suicide and the kremlin is not ready for it. rus

theresa may in bolton, mr corbyn in croydon. two marginal seats that both parties think they can win. as ever with the elections, marginal seats are key because they are the ones that are most likely to change hands. that is where any election campaign is often fought, w011 election campaign is often fought, won 01’ election campaign is often fought, won or lost. interesting for theresa may particularly with her choice, she has opted for a seat that in previous years might have seemed com pletely previous years might have seemed completely out of reach for the conservatives. what theresa may signals with her chosen visit for her speech made after winning the support of parliament for the election is that she thinks the tories can tap into labour and ukip voters, many of whom voted to leave the eu. she has framed the election in terms of brexit at once to get some of those leave voters on her side by portraying the conservatives, with her at the lead, as the party that will deliver on brexit. jeremy corbyn, some of the m essa 9

how can he secure a majority in parliament in the parliamentary election in june? december marine le pen. only two mps in parliament. for sure, december marine le pen. only two mps in parliament. forsure, here december marine le pen. only two mps in parliament. for sure, here are two candidates will have to make alliances with mainstream to secure alliances with mainstream to secure a majority in parliament, to be able to govern and fast uniforms that they are talking about. now, it is interesting to see that already, francois fillon, the candidate of the republicans who lost in the first round, has said he will vote for emmanuel macron against marine le pen. and most mainstream politicians have also charged supporters to do the same. —— urged. budget year some of the most conservative voices in the republican side saying, actually, i wa nt to republican side saying, actually, i want to vote against emmanuel macron andi want to vote against emmanuel macron and i will vote for marine le pen. whether she will be able to gather enough of these voices and momentum.

and the autumn in germany, serious negotiations without knowing who is in charge in france and germany can't really start until after that, can they? certain things can be resolved. it is the case that concern among some french politicians and german politicians about what they might term populism would mean that they would not want to be seen to be giving britain too much forfear of encouraging those populist movements. however, i sense that both in france and in germany, the surge of marine le pen or the alternative fur deutschland has been capped, and whatever the long—term future, in the medium term there is confidence that emmanuel macron will be french president and angela merkel will remain as chancellor. and there was a lot of confidence last summer that hillary clinton would be president of the united states! yes, but i think the leaders of the eu feel more comfortable in their skins and more prepared to deal with britain in a businesslike way rather than having to look over their shoulder at insurgents in their own back yard. stephanie baker, we are back again one way or an

is effectively complicit in what has been going on in syria. he says that by proxy, they are responsible for those deaths that we saw in that gas attack, because he says that russia are not doing enough to bring bashar al—assad to heal. but he wants to see is russia really putting pressure on the syrian government andi pressure on the syrian government and i suppose, with the rest of the international community on this. britain has been supportive of the american action and we hear that again from michael fallon today. he basically says that donald trump made the right call when he decided to ta ke made the right call when he decided to take that narrowly focused on military action. at the same time, the british foreign secretary, boris johnson was supposed to be going to russia tomorrow for a meeting with the russian foreign minister and that has been cancelled. there was some criticism of that from the liberal democrats who are basically saying that they felt that britain, certainly borisjohnson, saying that they felt that britain, certainl

i want to bring in cnn's jim bittermann in paris. this is a potentially consequential election not just for france but europe and for potentially, jim, real impact globally. >> i'm actually in a stronghold for marine le pen up in the northeast of france. up here she's very popular as you can tell from the background. people have gathered to celebrate what is not a victory but second place which is the most that anyone can hope for which means she'll now be in the second round of the elections. that question about europe will be center here because emmanuel macron was very much yu peen. he's the leader in this evening's elections and she's very much against europe. the two i'm sure are going to fight out the question of europe during the second round of this french campaign. the other thing that's interesting here -- and this is really the takeaway from tonight's elections i think -- is that the mainstream parties in france no longer have enough votes to conquer the presidency. both of the mainstream parties, the mainstream right and
