it's someone who is already in the united states let's say a student is studying in the united states. suddenly something changes and they are scared of going back. they apply with the immigration agency. i can't go home and i'm scared for my life and they awe ply before the judge. another type of defensive alie sum is someone who is at a port of entry or a border. they are trying to come into the united states to clinton campaign asylum. >> so for those at the border of tijuana and want to apply for asylum, what's the process at this point? >> once they get into the united states, the issue with tijuana is that a lot of them aren't being permitted to come in. at least not immediately to apply. but once they are ermt. ed to come into the port of entry and say they have a fear of returning home, they will be given a preliminary asylum interview. most people get through that interview. it's just meant to weed out frivolous claims. at that point, their case is handed over to our immigration court system where they apply defensively before the judge to apply for asylum. >> the process fro

in the united states have been in the united states since 2009. the population of mexicans who has come since then is only 11% compared to 21% for the other groups. you can see that right there. another key piece that i am sure we have received more attention in the media is the idea of how many mexican immigrants are undocumented or unauthorized in the united states. this is important to note that the ambassador was noting in 2007, 6.9 million mexicans was here legally, and this is now a different of 5.9 million in 2016. that is 6.9 million in 2007 compared to 5.9 million in 2016. the makeup it's important to know because not all in fact, the majority of mexican immigrants in the united states are legally present, and 23% of them are naturalized, and 32% are lawfully permanent residence in the united states or have another legal background. this is the idea that not all making immigrants are unlawfully here, and only 45% are here in that status. another thing that may not be surprising, but to note, is that most mexicans who obtain green cards do

coming to the united states. just foreign-policy, though. that helped determine who might come to the night states. domestic policies -- domestic politics shaped who the united states considered worthy of admission. i would use two separate examples. in the 1950's, the red scare, the great anti-communist purge of the 1950's, helped shape how americans considered who might be a worthy refugee for admission. in fact -- fast forward 20 years after that, the civil rights revolution of the 1960's shapes who the united states considers to be a worthy refugee. of admission. both of those domestic political moments, in view, refugee policies have helped shape who into the nighted states. the last point i would make, as you think about this commitment to refugees in a way which is fragile, is that the implementation of refugee admissions programs mattered greatly to the final outcome. put another way, it does not matter as much what congress passes. it matters how it gets implement it in the field. it matters greatly who

it brings an important stability to the united states. toean, how blessed we are have to neighbors that we can work with compared to many parts of the world. >> you highlight that nafta has been blamed for a lot of issues including automation. losses withn job automation is only going to grow and the vital importance of understanding its policies completely separate from the yet the white house pitched the negotiation as the solution to problems incorrectly it presentsfta and a new deal. i'm told having that economic foreness is fundamental keeping the trade relationship halted of and going on. theor example, i think trade governments and societies talking about workforce development, they have not really done that. new technology coming in and the training necessary. each nation has its own responses to that, but we should be learning from each other and in allre good practices three countries. we are all going to face this way for the demand for higher and new skill. the many moments we are holding our breath. a stunning announcement fr

and china does not want to have armed conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these teens are. i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. meanwhile on friday the trumpet ministration announced that it is reimposing all sanctions against iran that were lifted as part of the twenty fifty nuclear deal the us president took to twitter to taunt the news in a post resembling the tagline from the hit t.v. series game of thrones the sanctions slated to come into effect on monday follow america's unilateral withdrawal in may from the iran nuclear agreement new sanctions come on top of those who already imposed by washington and focus on oil pain lies in states that refuse to hold crude imports from iran the u.s. secretary of state says meanwhile the main target is the iranian government. the sanctions hit a core areas of iran's economy it is aimed at depriving the regime of the revenues that it uses to spread death and destruction around the world while people on the streets of tehran it is

she united states, there was no chance. we always think about what happened after world war ii, the united states playing a critical role, we had the opportunity to play the critical role after 1918 and chose not to. it falls heavily on the united states, the disaster that then unfolded over the next 20 years. >> adam, i think it's a similar line in terms of the role of the u.s. but you are very critical of wilson rather than the domestic political situation and as i understand, your argument is that the u.s. had immense power and looming potential from 1969. in the u.s. basically failed to take a constructive role in terms of working with britain to find constructive order. do you see things similarly to bob? or do you have a lesson from that.? i'm interested also in trying to touch on the differences of where the blame lies in the 20s for that abdication of u.s. leadership. >> thank you very much, it's a delight to be here. it's delight for -- delightful to be here on a platform with him. i'm very happy to be here. on thi

states and even the united states he said that talking about the need to defend against this talk is simply trying to put on warhawk credentials come on france can't even pay two percent of its g.d.p. according to nato strictures and he's talking up a european union army like the sun came here i think and what i want to talk about also the reports that mcchrystal did not want putin in from me glenn jumping. also said this is not a new idea though it's actually here i'll share with you here the national interest last week wrote an article that article washington smothers independent european security initiatives the entire history of it since one thousand nine hundred one six months after the soviet union collapsed. in germany for the peterburg task force which was. the purpose was to develop military capabilities for their opinion now they were able to strike a compromise with the united states in which they would have a clear division of labor usually nato would do the interventionist in the nations . the e.u. would do the dishes and then do the peacekeeping or the training so bad c

not only the united states. know,k there is, you significant evidence that will point at the vast majority of those job losses are due to a result of technology changes. not trade. of course, trade involves that some sectors firms are going to sovereign unjust and that is what free trade is about. is certainly positive. if people are not, if the governments, to the extent that we are responsible, along with academia do not explain what nafta is and these women are responsible for or capable of, we will always have a problem. not, tothat mexico did be perfectly clear, countries compete here in the united states for influence, space, and leadership within the united states. after nafta, we failed in our take aand we did not systematic effort. we did not engage in a systematic effort to talk about nafta, to talk about how much it has changed mexico. until quite recently. whether public opinion now, how's public opinion of the united states, i tend to think that there is much more -- people are much more aware of me

states had been totally cut off by the war. 1.4 million immigrants had entered the united states before the war and by 1917 no one was there. whites and blacks were being recruited to go north. this also gave a great boost to lesser organizations such as the naacp which had been funded 1909. this also created a lot of labor disputes that as i was saying the money was flowing into the country and it was not being shared equitably. never strikes all over the country that spring, far more than we would ever have today. this is a picture of a streetcar strike in washington dc, the crowd of people is trying to prevent what the management calls replacement workers from getting to the streetcars in the background to drive them away. let's get to the next site. 1917 was also the year of great ferment in the suffrage movement. women who were running this movement felt the time had come to really press for constitutional amendments to extend the vote to women all across the country. they thought the time was ripe and the opportunity had presented itself. in the previous fall, 11 states out of the

the united states says it's going to leave a treaty again. after all the united states left the even more important antiballistic missile treaty bush withdrew in two thousand and two that was the bedrock of russian and american national security that was folly that's what led to this deployment of missile defense on russia's borders that was what led to russia developing the kind of missile that washington is now complaining about it goes back to two events that are historical but also contemporary the decision by clinton to move nato eastward toward russia and bush's decision to leave the antiballistic missile treaty in two thousand and two everything has a history but would grow but reagan did with the help of your grandfather when he was foreign minister was to establish a new kind of trust thirty years ago it's gone it's gone in a more dangerous world now. and then there is that and then you start treaty i know it's bad news the treaty about strategic nuclear missiles that expires in two thousand and twenty one you know back in two thousa

the united states to do? >> i highly welcome your disagreement, let me first clarify that which is while there are some fundamentals for russia, whatever you may charge for the russian success in syria is not a written story. it will not end any time in the future so i don't think the russian intervention will necessarily foreclose in the long term for american objectives. was there anything that russia did that wasn't all complementary? >> i will have to disagree with you. first and foremost, you are wrong that russia did not contribute anything to u.s. campaigns. the russian campaign isis is very rapidly expanding and they were eating it alive. and they are now occupied by their job. what will that look like in terms of territorial control in the russian intervention? i have to disagree with you because that is not the reality. i will just say i am looking at this current situation. >> this is unclassified but you can go back in time. if you go back in time to august or july, this little gray triangle which

. >> and my publisher. >> yes to write a book with the economic history of the united states and to say i am not a historian he said quiet and we will decide we will ask adrian wooldridge to help. so here we are. >> how did you organize that division of labor? . >> it's hard enough to write that book alone. >> even more annoying to be around the corner from doctor greenspan and did not even know him at all. so we persuade the economist to give three months off and then we talked through the arguments and then exchange over the telephone is not as difficult of a process as we worried about. >> and with your career. so you made history and now you write about history. do you have an added perspective to have such a singular figure in the policymaking of this country? . >> i'm not sure what that means. i don't think people react that way. at least they shouldn't. and then to believe on free enterprise with an economist like myself to be so interested in what i was doing. >>'s let me make the question more concrete you criticize fdr for his decisions what went wrong in the seventies that we

states really challenges pictorial representations of the united states after 9/11. of course, really challenges the united states and the world as well. i just happened to be talking about pictures he appeared in two different ways of that manifesting itself in where i find some of the most provocative form duke's expressions about the last two decades in american history. and that is in public art. has anyone seen this? the electronic superhighway the smithsonian museum of art? is a giant insulation. it is hard to do it justice. it is as big as this altar i would say. it is all neon tubing. each state is a bunch of video screens and it's like what the hell is that? as you get closer to it, it gets louder and louder but if it becomes more difficult to here at what he was saying. and they're playing snippets of things in a live there representative somehow the state. a few go to oklahoma and it's like -- they go to massachusetts -- you can barely come if you really try you can hear a little bit but it's just noise. this is a korean american artist and his point i thi

congress, not the president of the united states. it is a congressional decision, not a presidential decision, whether that president is a democrat or a republican. mr. president, in march of 2015, under the leadership of mohammed bin salman, then saudi defense minister and now the crown prince, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates intervened in yemen's ongoing civil war. let us be clear, yemen has been a poor and struggling country for many years, but as a result of the saudi-led intervention, yemen is now experiencing the worst humanitarian disaster in the entire world. and one of the poorest countries on earth as a result of this war, according to the save the children organization, some 85,000 children have already starved to death. 85,000 children already dead and millions more face death, face starvation if this war continues. according to the united nations, yemen is at risk of the most severe famine in more than 100 years, with some 14 million people facing starvation. further, yemen is currently experiencing the worst c

states of america so i'm not trying to talk about building a wall between the united states and mexico what he doesn't seem to realize is that there is an enormous a very profitable flow of guns into mexico from the u.s. that he probably wouldn't want to stop so you have the flow of guns into mexico and in return you have a flow of drugs and other illicit activities into the united states of america so what this is doing is it's because destabilizing those neighboring countries like mexico where it's giving criminal groups enormous power and fire power but at the same time attending a devastating impact in the united states itself how do you respond those who who would criticize that line and say you're mumbling two separate things the innocent and the licit trade in guns i've been i've been studying the trade in arms for seventeen years. the boundaries the borders between the legal and the it illegal are incredibly fast so our governments and the weapons makers the celt would have us believe that there is this formal legal trade in whatever. that only opposite side of the spectrum is

politics in the united states united states operates of the level of individuals and the institutions of the government all right we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to dr ali allawi iraq's foreign minister of trait defense and finance discussing the situation in a war torn country stay with us. when we all make this manufacture come sentenced into the public. when the ruling classes of project themselves. with the final larry go round. no one posts that. we can all middle of the room signals. mean real humans through the world. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. a. new chick or founding. a model but i think. when there's a real body. to. put them down i don't want that for a case that's funny as hell and nation under the name of community yeah in question whom he could feel that he had a chicken dad's going to say he mad

this history is the history of the united states. it has shaped national consciousness as well as popular culture. so we'll look at a few of the images now. the one i'd like to show you, the first, is one that really fascinated me as soon as i learned about it. and this is a sketch for the great seal of the united states. now, the continental congress employed a committee or got together a committee of americans with impeccable revolutionary war credentials to come up with a design for the great seal of the united states. the committee presented a proposal and the continental congress did not like it. they got together a second committee. the second committee turned to a man named francis hopkinson. he was a signer of the declaration of independence and he came up with the sketch that we're looking at here. now people who know about the history of the seal know that this sketch was never submitted as a formal proposal for what the great seal should look like, but i find it extraordinarily fascinating that at the time when the united

in western europe and the united states. and look at the improvement we have made in just two years. look at the eradication of the physical caliphate of eye. in 2014 isis had 8 million people under slavery. they had oil wells, taxing people. that was trump coming together with the muslim world to destroy it. in addition, it was the beginning of an alliance, beginning of a partnership, as imperfect as its is in that part of the world with the arab world ask israel and the united states and the nations ultimatesly of europe to stop the expeditionary expansion of hezbollah in iran. and the third was to assist the arab world in any way in anyway way, understanding they have to do it just like christianity had to do it. to go through it's eneven lightment and yet trump is smeared every day as an islamophobe and hater. he is anything but. and it's his actions, his actions, his actions -- look, the snag and the noise. listen to the signal. puts its out every day. it's through actions. the noise i understand is a flash bang grenade

needssippi and america cindy hyde-smith back in the united states senate. thank you all for coming out tonight. it's really great to be with you all. it is especially great to be here with a friend of mine. and a man who loves the state of mississippi, and the man that mississippi voted overwhelmingly to make the 45th president of the united states of america, president donald trump. president trump and i are proud to stand with cindy hyde-smith, because she stood with us. we know that senator cindy hyde-smith is going to continue to be a champion for mississippi and our agenda when you send her back to the united states senate. you know, when you think about the past two years, it's just amazing. i think there's only one way you can describe the last two years. it has been two years of action. it has been two years of results. trump, itident donald has been two years of promises made and promises kept. and we are just getting started. think about it. think about it. under president trump's leadership, we are rebuilding ourmilitary and restoring democracy.

states, to live in the united states pending your immigration court proceeding. that could be months, that could be years in the united states. many, many people have done that in recent years and it's one of the policies that president trump obviously is very unhappy about. >> okay. joshua, as i was reading your article and i have to admit it came out after i already was on the air and i was reading it during commercials and it was pretty long, but what i have yet to figure out, what is mexico getting out of this deal? >> i think mexico is a larmlarm the new government, leftist government, takes over in about a week. they're very concerned about preserving a good relationship with the united states. so they're worried on one hand about these caravans crossing mexico. it's also a problem for them. it's a huge group of people. bad things can happen to them along the way. it also causes constant news and pushback from the united states. so they don't want to get in the situation where one caravan after another after another crosses mexico on the way to the u.s. bor

i would say the crisis is the most acute at the wto and yet the united states needs the united states more than ever if we are to take on china. by the crisis at that wto? there are a number of sources of frustration outlined in my written territory -- testimony. first there is a lack of balance between the week negotiating arm of that wto with members have increased only one agreement on trade facilitation since 1995 compared to the very strong and some would say even too strong settlement arm of the wto or the executive part is viewed as highly competent, but lacking in the authority to drive any change. it is this lack of balance that appears to be the primary driver and the united states decision to block any process to reappoint members of the wto of people at body -- of pay at body -- appellate body. any new discussions have been blocked by the united states. secondly i will mention a recent willingness led by the united states to impose tariffs that violate the wto basic rule which will lead many to question to where if the major members will regularly flout the rules. i believ

leadership within the united states, , if i may use that wor. and after that i think we failed in our laurels and we did not took a systematic effort. we did not engage in a systematic effort to talk about nafta, to talk about how much has changed mexico, why is it important for mexico, why is it important for the -- until recently. good examples. whether public opinion now, how was public been in the united states, i think that there is much more, people are much more aware of the mexico nowadays and they were two years ago in general. go talk to soybean growers in the midwest or corn growers in nebraska. go talk to the people that are working in a manufacturing firm in flint, michigan, that is owned by a mexican firm or go -- they will tell you. the problem is that that is there's not an organized as such coalition that will talk about these benefits. it's much easier for a potus to be clear, it's much more easier for them to organize. i think that mexico has a good opportunity right now because the level of attention with respect to mexico i

a part of the united states. so thank you again for coming. i would like to present our distinguished opening speaker, the honorable ambassador gutierrez, who is a friend of the wilson center. it's a pleasure to william him he he served as mexico's ambassador since 2017, previously served as managing director of the north american development bank, headquartersed in san antonio, texas, where his professional activity was focused on infrastructure, development and finance along the u.s.-mexican he he served in prominent positions in the areas of trade, finance, diplomacy, national security under four presidents. he has an extraordinary breadth of experience in his career. mr. ambassador, the floor [ applause ] yours. [ applause ] >> >> thank you very much for that very kind introduction. good morning to all of you. allow me first to thank the woodrow wilson's mexico institute and the migration policy institute for organizing this seminar and for inviting me to be a part of it. these two ininstitutions have consist

britain's separation from unit as a disaster in the united states. and we did almost nothing to prevent it. you don't think it's a disaster? >> is a total disaster obama went to london. >> you can't go late in the day and say you should be against it. maybe british exit was going to happen the same way german reunification was going to happen is also the most normal activity in the history of the world. however the way the divorce played out the united states has an interest in the way it's played out we have not been playing the game the same way we did shepherd germany unification through. >> trump was on his golf course in scotland. the current administration of the united states favors british exit. after he entered the white house . >> this is what's new. even in the 1920s when americans were not doing anything to save europe they would have liked to save your . trump is on the side of british exit he is on the side all the people who were against a coherent, liberal , europe. that is absolutely unprecedented. >> is not alone, john bolton wrote

and the united states is so. i don't think it's happened get that it will no longer refuel saudi planes in yemen is it was this all just p.r. it's just business as usual war in yemen yeah i think it's mostly for signaling of course with this murder in the consulate a lot of the u.s. media discovered that there's a war in yemen and while we're not amazing we're going to be watching this program but you've been watching this program you know it all the time but you're correct it's often portrayed as a solid war against women but it's very much for us us the war against him because the united states provides the weapons the training isn't just a refueling logistics just intelligence most importantly the targeting is what lead gives to target so this pretty much pulled the trigger and. then that's the end of it so i think. this this this idea that the united states come to more to the saudis is false but that's because the u.s. has a stake in the outcome of this war as well so i don't i think this. congress is pushin

states congress, not the president of the united states has warmaking responsibilities. for too long we have abdicated that responsibility so today i say to my conservative friend friends, respect the constitution, reclaim congress' rightful role on the issues of "war and peace". congress has not authorized the war in yemen and therefore that war is unconstitutional and that must change now. mister president, we are going in a few minutes to undertake a very very important vote and i hope all of my colleague colleagues, democrats and republicans will vote to discharge this resolution. think you i yield the floor. >> the senator from new jersey. >> i rise today to speak to the senate resolution 54 legislation brought forward by senators and lee sanders and murphy eight months ago the past two years have reminded us time and time again of the urgent responsibility of congress to perform real checks and balances to steadfastly defend our american values at home and abroad. i think them for their continued efforts throughout these intervening months to shed light on the deva

states and china does not want to have armed conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things aren't to china i feel the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government the chinese military meanwhile on friday even trumpet ministration announced that washington is reimposing all sanctions against iran that were lifted as part of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal donald trump took to twitter to taunt around the news in a post resembling the tagline from the t.v. series the game of thrones well the sanctions which are slated to come into effect on monday follow america's unilateral withdrawal from iran you can you dream and in may this year the new sanctions come on top of the ones already imposed by washington and focus heavily on iran's oil sector penalizing states that refuse to hold him ports of crude oil from iran u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or he says the main target is the iranian government . the sanctions hit at core areas of iran's economy it is aimed at depriving the regime of the revenues that it uses to

the united states army it would be a horrendous misuse of the united states military to have them firing on any civilian at any border and these people on the border donny just referenced it, the president of the united states -- we just heard him say that these people when you attempt to have a conversation with them they start a fistfight. i mean, that is beyond absurd. this is the president of the united states speaking. this is the president of the united states encouraging an action that is so opposed to everything that this country stands for, but we ought not to be shocked because it happens nearly every day. >> don yeah, you know donald trump. the president thinks this looks tough. he thinks if you talk about having guys at the border with guns it's going to deter people from coming here. it was the same argument they used, that jeff sessions also used for the family sprags policy, it will deter people from coming here. this is what getting tough on immigration looks like to president trump. >> i love mr. tough guy who is tough on women and children but when it comes to the crown

states this is oversimplifying but the united states may not always stay in europe and europe needs to be able to defend itself so it should have a capability that it can draw on and the french have been the strongest in this train of thought. and this may be now coming up again in europe as some pronouncements of the trumpet ministration have raised doubt about the the u.s. . ocean of the u.s. to nato i should say this is now all still at the level of statements because the actions are still nato new u.s. and nato allies are still acting very much together but it comes out of it's been a constant argument since the end of the cold war and i suppose it'll always be there because is it natural for the united states to be in europe forever well i mean on some level it's very beneficial economically and. if you go to much of welcomed it. because of conditions at the time and eventually some time whether it's a century or two centuries a thousand years in the future it will change but it hasn't right now and that's so we're dealing with. and an argument and a tendency in a worry but it

that the united states says it's going to leave in the treaty again on. monday program welcome to it donald trump says he's poised to strike a deal at the g. twenty summit later this month after speaking on the phone with his chinese counterpart it comes amid a trade war between the two countries that was ultimately instigated by washington as often as a kid at mach and explains the trump presidency has been characterized not by deal making but rather by deal breaking. trumps magnum opus is a best selling book called the art of the deal trumps reputation for many years it was based on his ability to make agreements in a slick and effective manner we don't make great deals that he but we will once i become president the united states will withdraw. from the iran nuclear deal people get together they make deals ronald reagan did it russia has violated the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out. and that's what the country needs is that the united states will withdraw. from the parents climate accord but it's trump a deal

trade dispute with china meanwhile leaders of the united states mexico and canada assignee a new trade agreement on the sidelines of the g. twenty meeting.

from the perspective of the united states, we see this as a historic opportunity for brazil and the united states to work together in a most of areas, economics, security, and a range of others. so i'm really looking forward to hearing what the president-elect's priorities are, try respond to him, try to tell him a little bit about what president trump's views are and hopefully when president-elect bolsonaro is inaugurated on january 1, the two leaders can get off to a running start. i'm just there to prepare the ground for them. reporter: you tweeted earlier today about a case involving american families being held in china. have you talked to the president about this case? if so, what has he told you? and will he bring this up with president xi? and will the release of the families be part of the trade deal? john: and have discussed the question of american hostages, and people being wrongfully held with him on a range of subjects. ypt to get into what his reaction was, i don't think those should be public. this is a matter of real concern to us. i think given that the range of issues pr

it is the united states congress, not the president of the united states who under our constitution has more lawmaking responsibilities. today i say to my conservative friends respect the constitution,ti the claim congrs is rightful role on the issues of war and peace and has not authorized the war for yemen and therefore it is unconstitutiona, and that must change and must change now. mr. president, we are going in a few minutes to undertake a very, very important vote, and i hope that all of my colleagues, democrats, republicans, independents will vote to discharge on this resolution. thank you and i yield the floor. >> mr. president i rise today to speak to the senate resolution

. >>> united states entered world war i a century ago on april 6th, 1917. when congress voted to declare war on germany. the conflict was already in its third year. more than 4 million american men and women would eventually serve in uniform and the influx of manpower changed the tide of the war, bringing it to a close in 18 months. next, we travel to kansas city to learn about the national world war i museum and memorial built to preserve the history of what was then called the great war. and to honor the americans who served. >> i'm matt nailor, president and c.e.o. here at the world war i museum and memorial. this memorial and museum is such a striking image on the kansas city skyline and what a great story goes with that. it was in 1919 that a group of business leaders gathered and said let's do something to honor the war debt of kansas city and create a tribute for peace. what you see behind me is the outcome of that. a fundraising campaign that lasted only two weeks that raised more than 2 and a half million dollars, the equivalent today of about $4 m

in the organization for economic cooperation and development the report finds the united states has the highest youth unemployment rate and highest in. infant mortality rate among comparable countries the us also has one of the lowest voter registration levels in the o.e.c.d. the report reads quote its citizens live shorter and sicker lives compared to those living in all other ridged democracies are radical tropical diseases are increasingly prevalent and it has the world's highest incarceration conclusions have drawn a harsh response from members of the trumpet ministration us ambassador to the un nikki haley wrote in a letter to senator bernie sanders of vermont quote it is patently ridiculous for the united nations to examine poverty in america the special repertoire wasted the un's time and resources deflecting attention from the world's worst human rights abusers and who can sing instead on the wealthiest and freest country in the world and haley may have a point about the united states being one of the wealthiest countries in the world it just so happens that the vast majorit

the united states prevented a resolution in the united nations that would have condemned the saudi attacks on yemen the resolution had support from the united kingdom among others and essential he would have called on saudi arabia to cease its activities that harm civilians however the united states works behind the scenes to prevent it from becoming a resolution now there has been widespread opposition and condemnation to saudi arabia's activities in yemen we've heard statements from charities that have come forward humanitarian organizations and said that essentially saudi activities put fourteen million people at risk of malnutrition however the united states continues to align with saudi arabia now it's important to point out that this is not the first time there have been votes on capitol hill regarding this issue and back in march the u.s. senate was presented with the opportunity to vote on this resolution and failed to do so they did not pass this resolution however today as we have seen they did actually come forward and condemn saudi arabia's activities in yemen not much has chan

first and most important is the top objective of the united states air force. and really, the department of defense as a whole under secretary mattis. and that is the restoration of the readiness of the force. when i returned to federal service, i had been away from national security for a time. while i worked on it in the congress, i was the president of a university in south dakota. south dakota school. so i was focused on inflicting calculus on young adults instead of studying national security things. but one of the things that -- there were a number of things that surprised me coming back to the service. and one was the decline in readiness levels of our forces. and so it was clear to me, as it is, i think, to most people in the pentagon that restoring the readiness of the force had to be our number one priority. this last spring, the chief of staff and i, general goldfein asked a group of people from across the service to come together, they spent about six weeks together in a windowless room of the pentagon, looking at readiness and not just in a superfi

the deal has the tacit deal has always been the united states pays the most and the united states makes most of the decisions and many of our trade deals are similar to that and trump trying to get what he thinks are more equal terms is actually spending america's influence and is weakening america's all right gentlemen we have run out of times we're going to have to leave it there thanks to all our guests carl white request clifton and rami hooty and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me and the whole team here bye for now. travel off to. my tranquil gotos and the forests they provide more. civility. in city. on sunday and say. is that so. since because. it is a club. it's the places you train. and literally. when you live for adventure. and discover it. when you. when it's. is much. closer to. going together with cattle i alway

you pick china or pick united states. i think the combination of all that will raise real concerns and questions in the region. and undermine what i think the administration is sensibly trying to do in signaling through the free and open pacific that there is a commitment to this region. >> in terms of picking sides, president xi is not only going to apec, but he will be holding a meeting with other pacific island nation leaders which i think will get a lot of attention. and then he is going out to the philippines for a state visit. at a time when we are asking countries to choose, president xi is going with his bag of goodies to the philippines and we are not showing up. >> that is an important amplifying comment. the vice president isn't going to talk about trade. or not very much. in asia, economics is security. if you're not playing on the trade issue, not playing. >> to bring this back to japan, i know michael green is not here, but you did mention that vice president pence is not doing the formal trade engagement. i

ultimately, the united states decides to support a military coup. what happens is you have infighting among the generals and massive purges of people who are considered to be loyal. so the military situation detearierates quite drastically. the north vietnamese are paying attention to this. shortly after we have president kennedy killed. lyndon johnson comes in. in 1964, there is a presidential campaign. johnson sees it as advantageous to kwarcharacterize himself as peace candidate. this also conveys to hanoi a signal that the south is ripe for the taking. in late 1964, hanoi decides they are going to go for broke and start sending entire divisions into south vietnam and try to take over the south in 1965 before americans change their mind. and the period in early 1965 -- there are actually a lot of large battles which have escaped the historical record because they don't fit into the idea of the prolonged guerilla conflict. there are clearly a lot of major clashes between north and south vietnam. south vietnam takes heavy losses. this really leads

so the united states was neutral and even though the u.s. navy was very uncomfortable with this, the practical reality was that you had to maintain your neutrality status. after april 1917, that had all gone away, and then you close the gap because you are no longer worried about an american commercial interests. but certainly, you have to be conscious of that in terms of the neutral early on. >> i have two questions. you said in world war ii, the relationship between the american naval people, and the british naval people had a lot of tension, which was in contrast to for one, and could you elaborate on that? number 2, vice admiral william sims, was any relation to that doctor james mary and sam's, the statue they will remove from central park. it is the same spelling. >> as time is running out here, i will answer the first question, and the world war ii, to cut to the chase, admiral king, he was an man who did not like the british. that created a lot of tension and that is what i am really getting at. when your chief of naval operations, w
