as well as the timelines for the expansion. our second policy consideration is that the appraised value of the property at 2000 marin street of $63.6 million does not account for potential environmental contamination. the property value could be less than the appraisal if the environmental site assessment finds that the property cannot be used for the public utilities commission's intended purpose due to environmental contamination. and our recommendation to that actually -- we always point out on page 9 of our report that if the public utilities commission determines based on the phase two environmental site assessment results that the property is contaminated in a way that makes the property unsuitable for commercial development, that the commission may extend the time period for the exchange or terminate the exchange, or negotiate with the developer for an appropriate remediation strategy. according to the conditional land-use disposition acquisition agreement, the city's acceptance of the environmental condition of 2000 mar

passions run high in the commons as mps argue over airport expansion and what it might mean for local people. i would support a fourth and fifth runway, actually, at heathrow and at gatwick. 8,000 to 10,000 people forcibly removed from their community. also on this programme, as the scottish parliament breaks for its summer recess, our scotland political editor gives us his end—of—term report. and at prime minister's questions, jeremy corbyn taunts theresa may over her cabinet brexit splits, which he reckons are giving big business the collywobbles. the real risk to jobs in our country is a prime minister who is having to negotiate round the clock with her own cabinet to stop it falling apart. he's got a decision to make. he can either back business or he can want to overthrow capitalism, he can't do both. and i'll be reporting from a new exhibition telling the story of women in parliament. but first, mps have backed the government's decision to press ahead with the expansion of heathrow airport. the move was approved by a big government majority of 296. since a third runway was f

let's talk about expansion, prospects for expansion at this point. you were here three years ago and you discussed the possibility of mexico and canada, perhaps, being excellent expansion team candidates. where is baseball on that? >> well, i think where baseball is, we have two situations, stadium situations, oakland and tampa. we will not expand until those situations are resolved. it's just not realistic. the appropriate sequencing of the necessary business decisions are to get those two situations resolved, hopefully in the markets where they currently exist, and then move on to consideration of expansion. so, it's not a front-burner issue for us right now. we need to get those two situations resolved. on the good news front, we have a number of viable expansion candidates out there. we have candidates that are in canada. candidates that are in mexico and some that are here in the united states. i think over the longer haul, post these two issues that i've alluded to, 32 would be a good number for us. it helps us in terms of scheduling flexibilit

and as expansive as one could be. that was only topped last week with the war in syria. i think it's a challenge for the senate to figure out how to use the legislative process to pair that back to invalidate those opinions and those relying on them, but ultimately that will require also use power of the person cutting off funds for unauthorized military campaigns. >> chairman paul, thank you so much for this evening. >> senator lee. >> of what you think senator paul for organizing the scene and want to thank this review for your willingness to come and offer your expertise and the insight you've offered today which are helpful. we are in our 17th year of deployment under the 2001 aumf for the use of military force. it is not the case that are most junior personnel deployed were not born as of the moment that 2001 aumf was issued by congress but it will soon be the case. long before it's even fathomable we will have retreated from his battlefields it will be the case that this aumf is issued before they were born. in

another aspect of the affordable care act is the substantial expansion of the medicaid program. the extent that the aca does cover americans it is due to the expansion of the taxpayer-funded program. covering low income children and their elderly, the aca expanded the program beyond these populations, making it a resource of coverage for 15 million new able-bodied adults including many without children. perversely, the aca offers more supports for state to ensure these populations covering more than 90 percent of the costs for vulnerable medicaid populations. reporting legislation to undo those perverse incentives is a priority for this administration but in the meantime we want to rethink how medicaid serves these able-bodied working age adults. which is why we've encouraged to consider work and community engagement requirements for these populations. for these enrollees, medicaid should not be a government insurance card pathway out of poverty to fuller purpose and better health. this decision for medicaid laid down by our administrators reflect our general principles for prog

, the prospects for expansion at this point. you were here three years ago. you discuss the possibility of mexico and canada perhaps being excellent expansion team candidates. where is baseball on that? >> well, i think, we had two situations, stating situations, oakland and tampa. we will not expand until those situations are resulted it's just not realistic, the appropriate sequencing of misery business decisions are to get those situations resolved. hopefully in the markets where they currently exist, and then move on to consideration of expansion. so it's not a front burner issue for us right now. we need to get those situations resolved. on the good news front, we have a number of viable expansion candidates out there. we have candidates that are in canada. candidates that are in mexico and some that are here in the united states. i think over the longer haul, post these two issues that i've alluded to, 32 would be be a good number for us. it helps us in terms of scheduling flexibility because it's an even, you know, four w

what you see here is with the gross margin expansion that is quite healthy at 60 basis points, it's entirely driven by the innovation program and mix and not by pricing as you pointed out. that shows the strength of what we're trying to do if we keep innovation pace, which continues to increase in this company, and work the mix as we are currently doing, just gross margin expansion alone will get us there. it will still allow us to have more in brent spent, that will strengthen our brands behind us. i think we're continuing to stay on the glide path to the 20% margin by 2020 >> i also asked how he would characterize the mood of uk shareholders following the company's decision earlier this year to move headquarters to the netherlands. >> many of our shareholders understand why we do this, the rational to make this company more competitive, more agile, to participate at an equal basis in future transactions. increasingly investors understand we're moving to a better corporate governance structure. one share, one vote. corporate governance standards that are the best in the world including what

reporter: what is the future of medicaid expansion in your state? about 12% of the state budget goes toward medicaid or medicare today. walker: medicaid expansion saved alaska about $16 million in our budget. it is a matter of fact that we use our spending to provide health care for 42,000. i am a cancer survivor of a few years ago. i would not have found that cancer is headed not in for -- -- found that cancer was enough for that. when people come up and say thank you for the life that you saved, that means an awful lot to me. my own personal experience is something i look at the last in's and hope we are able to maintain the health care coverage we have. reporter: finally, governor walker, does it make to seek that doesn't make sense to keep the capital in juneau when half of the population lives in the anchorage area? well, there's a lot of rich history throughout alaska. every area is unique and special. i am an opponent of the capital staying in juneau. it moved once. very as methods of communication that they can watch live throughout the stat

the enormous expanse that is the state of colorado. take a drive three hours from the capital denver towards the new mexico border and you're greeted by timeless and spectacular landscapes. this is the san luis valley in the south of colorado. classic western terrain with its high plains and the sangre de cristo mountains in the background, gloriously ice capped, and most of them over 111,000 feet high. with the cattle ranching and the incredible wildlife, this is what outdoorjunkies from all over the world come to america to witness. but for a long time there was a classic all—american iconic creature that was missing from this landscape — the bison. once 20—30 million bison, the largest terrestrial animals in north america, roamed across the land, but they nearly became extinct thanks to mass slaughter and habitat loss. by the time old ranches like these were opened in the late 19th century, the number of bison had collapsed to less than 1000 across the whole of the usa. and, look, down here we've got some old bison hide. whoa.

another concern is the expansion of the medicaid program. the aca is covering people it's due to this program. medicaid has played a historic role, covering the elderly and others. this made it a free source of coverage for 15 million new able-bodied adults, including many without any children. pre versusly, they ensure that these populations cover 90% of the cost than it does for traditional vulnerable medicaid populations. supporting legislation to undo those perverse incentives. we want to rethink ow medicaid serves able-bodied working age adults, why we've encouraged states to to have working for these. should be a pathway out of poverty for fuller purpose and better health. this laid down by our administrator, reflects our general principles for programs that support low income americans. programs should take a holistic approach to greater health and greater self-sufficiency. they should avoid work disincentives and offer states flexibility in achieving these goals. president trump's budget replacing the medicaid expansion with a flexib

we need to give this president and every future president, frankly, room to negotiate. 1962 trade expansion act was passed by congress to give the executive branch the authority and flexibility to negotiate on trade. it was this authority that paved the way for negotiations on the general agreement on tariffs and trade, gat, which helped reduce global trade barriers. most of my career, i dealt within the gat restrictions and the gat opportunities that we had to trade across borders, internationally. more than anybody else in this body, i think, i have actually transacted products across borders internationally, and i'm very concerned that in this era of entrenchment in congress, where we are so paralyzed that we can't even fulfill or most basic constitutional function of funding the government on time which we have only done four times in 44 years, in that environment, that we get the authority on trade back that we won't be able to even hold a vote, have a debate, and will hamstring any administration's negotiating efforts. credibility in negotiating trade terms is absolutely critical. ima

short-term rate and it's a classic leading indicatorive's recession and the fact that this economic expansion is nearly the longest in history and trade war fears are flaring and then there is the chart the stock market's 2018 gain of a bit more than 4% has been driven almost exclusively by a handful of huge tech stocks such as amazon and netflix. there's also peak activity everywheremi it's the eco momentum and corporate profit growth is peaking as the initial tax cut boosts, and small business confidence are set to represent peak optimism. so do the bears have a point? while it's true, theof narrowin yields between short and long-term bonds is a commoer pa toward the latter part of an economic cycle, it isca tyy seen a year ahead of a recession and some would argue long-term yields are artificially lower while rock bottom rates in europe and japan which weakens their economic signal. s as for theposed narrowness, it's true that dominant tech leaders have a ounted for more of this year's gains and it's not like the rest of the market is outright weak. small cap indexers up more than 10% and

maybe the expansion of the nation-state. the american nation-state grew so big and powerful that it could become imperial, that is another popular way of looking at it now. none of these ideas have replaced foner's book. it remains the gold standard in reconstruction historiography. this is the way historians have contended with reconstruction. the talk more about specific issues after the period. andrew johnson created one of the first political crises of reconstruction, the first constitutional crises. of reconstruction. lincoln is often seen as the greatest president of the united states. he and washington. lincoln usually always gets it when they have these rankings. it is the irony of history that he was preceded by a president always ranked near the bottom, james buchanan, and then succeeded by a president who is also always near the bottom, andrew johnson. when andrew johnson was put on the presidential ticket in 1864, this was the election lincoln was going to lose, remember? emancipation proclamation. the idea was t

it has been a pretty long expansion. we think corporate profits can continue to do well, but not just as they have done in the first half of the year. equities, fixed income, we are still seeing that even the valuations are at the higher end, we think the expansion can continue. some of theseseen earnings come through and the guidance has not been very positive. especially with automakers, lord, g.m., fiat. it seems like a perfect storm of higher interest rates, higher commodity prices and asset actuation that we have seen. is this more of a heightened concern now that we have reached peak earnings? that earnings say have been really strong. we are at this part of the expansion. typically what happens is you see interest rates go up, earnings start to slow down a little bit. it is not sustainable from the earnings we have seen here it we have seen really strong earnings up until very recently. we are at theike point in the cycle where we start to see earnings part to slow down a little bit. off of really strong numbers.

its size, its expanse and its great variety are by no means comprehended. land no onethe knows. nhe best way to get a idea of the true size of alaska is to move it down to the united states. although only 1/5 as large as the united states and square miles, nevertheless alaska touches all four borders of our country. this will give you the wide --anse and spread about w wide expanse and spread of our great northern territory. ♪ the most important fact to bear in mind is this. alaska is divided into three distinct sections which are as different from one another as day is tonight. takes its name from the yukon river which flows through it. a line of latitude drawn eastward from the center of this section will touch the southern coast. we are not surprised to see in snow and icetion traversed only by dog teams in a subzero temperature that is a menace to life. the most grueling experience i ever had in alaska was mushing a dog team 1600 miles over the frozen yukon. the husky is man's most faithful companion and covering long distances. on the winterm trails, where the noble sled

in them what you see as expansion depends on the context if you're referring to the globalization of investment and economic exchange different then globalization is undoubtedly acceptable and pulls but if you take it to mean domination or he gammon e r one it isn't that it doesn't fit china's culture much full on the lyceum little video. in two thousand and fourteen kazakhstan became a member of the year asian economic union the free trade zone desired by moscow on the other hand of the chinese have invested twice as much in kazakhstan since that date. to bear has become a new outpost for this chinese presence just a hundred kilometers from russia and the border station of jaison. at the moment russia's still thrilled by the chinese project of the new silk road because it's in line with its own eurasian ambitions. russia's advertising spots also promise affluence and cutting edge infrastructure. but the reality reveals that moscow simply isn't capable of keeping up with this rhythm as soon as the lorries from china or central asia reach russia they follow a zig zag course in order t
