states to say in syria because it's how we started out the program mean why does the united states want to stay in syria and not make peace in the leave like everybody wants them to leave everyone does including their sometimes on and off friends in iraq go ahead in london. peter i agree with you there phonetically that american military presence in syria and iraq actually is not the legitimate one now that syrians and the iraqi are calling for the americans to pull out their troops because they don't want them anymore simply because they where to fight the islamic state there is no more islamic state as they put it in that or as they were talking about now the situation is completely different about two weeks ago the israeli media was talking about some sort of agreement between the united states and israel to destabilize iran and syria and it seems that that downing of the israeli f. sixteen s on this on the syrian after the sit in that attack actually it means that it is a clear message from russia to the united states to israel that we are not going to go ahead with this plans to de

in 2014, the company established a translator project focused on the united states. in july of 2016, more than 80 employees were assigned to the translator project. two of the defendants allegedly traveled to the united states to collect intelligence for their american influence operations. in order to hide the russian origins of their activities, the defendants allegedly purchased space on computer servers located here in the united states in order to set up a virtual private network. the defendants allegedly used that infrastructure to establish hundreds of accounts on social media networks, such as facebook, instagram, and twitter, making it appear that those accounts were controlled by persons located in the united states. they used stolen or fictitious american identities, fraudulent bank accounts, fraudulent -- and false authentication documents. the defendants posed as politically and socially active americans advocating for and against particular candidates. they established social media pages and groups to communicate with unwitting americans. they also purc

anyone in the united states. campaign or indeed any american it was they themselves said there is no evidence that any of the americans involved had any idea that they were involved with these alleged russians nor is it being alleged as far as i've seen that this was. this lynch activity was directed by russian government supposed to russian private citizens again this is an enticement not only prediction of the u.s. system it means that a threshold has been met for. taking a case to trial doesn't even. prove. but the key thing isn't that in the broader story there's no there's no indication for the russia sold election story there's no indication that. these activities had any great impact. in also one thing i think is missing from context in the in the broader media here . you know yes there are. trolls electronic trolls in russia there's also electronic trolls in saudi arabia it's not obvious why there should be such an exclusive focus on russian trolls or attempts of russian to influence us elections or u.s.

kurdistan allied to the united states and the united states has just announced they will continue fun. doing to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars peshmerga forces and iraqi kurdistan so there are actually patients of iraq created on the ground both u.s. presence and iraqi forces which are allied to them or our proxy forces to them so any iraqi government is subjected to this massive u.s. presence they still have the biggest embassy in the world by the way and baghdad so there is that u.s. employers are obviously the other countries have influence in iraq as well through . all our neighbors if you like ok but if he's president or term hasn't acquiesced to tory's amazed to say bomb damascus in the border in iraq would bring syria well terrorism may obviously what they sometimes do successive british governments actually is is really behave more royalist time they came to feel like if that is a metaphor or a back could that i could use when it comes to us foreign policy they often have us policy they go beyond these very badly to justify it this has been unfortunately britain's

what we can sell to the united states, what the united states want to sell to us. this is an important market. i will come to economics in a moment but i'm just saying that you say you want to have a warm relationship with the united states. i did not say warm ties. you do not want warm ties with the united states? you want a cold relationship? neither. we want to have a constructive relationship from all countries, and we learn from each one what we can do. i think we have established, president macri has established a dialogue with president trump that is good, and it allows us to call whenever we need to say we have a problem that we need to solve. let me just give you one problematic thing between latin america, south america, central america and washington, sometimes, is the use of president trump's colourful language. for example, he called — he did not want migrants from countries like el salvador and haiti, saying that they are s—hole countries. the president of el salvador then said that he demands respect for the dignity of el salvador‘s noble and c

it's not fair to the united unfair to it's very the workers of the united states. very, very unfair. today, it's extremely hard on companies that want to business in china, because the barriers are incredible, barriers coming into our country are foolishly not. foolishly. believe in reciprocal trade. if they do something to us, we something to them. never happened. and it's gotten worse and worse over the years but we'll correct it that can be the only thing get in the way of a truly long term great relationship, because we ever ingredients for our friendship. examiner -- ington gabby. >> if that proceeds would you be to ing to grant a waiver gerd kushner, or one of the senior advisers? resident trump: gerd has done outstanding job. he gets zero, he doesn't get a salary. ivanka, who is now in south korea, long trip, country, and we cannot get a better representative. fact, the first lady, melania was telling me what a great impression she made this morning landed in south korea. is truly outstanding. he was very successful when he was in the private sector. working

but for the united states i mean this issue is about long prisons in syria which is what the united states tried to achieve by you know what's beyond isis if you devices is trying to have military force on the ground. which is part of an important part for the united states of a larger strategy to confront iran russia and the regime so all it is also vital for the united states larger security strategy is to have this military. for since the united states cannot afford to have troops on the ground american troops so they need the white b.g. to fight on their behalf i mean how is the united states going to balance its relationship trying to keep a good relationship with a nato ally turkey and its strategic security interests in the middle east including a presence and seven year this is not working out so far will there come a time when they'll have to choose are they actually choosing already by what they're doing in the region while the relationship this good question actually the relationship between the two party is the u.s. has been actually having a very tense relationship issues you

states and that as they population of the united states. 74% are male and 82% are white which means that 61% of all adults that own guns are white men into this accounts for 21% of the total population. the top reason is for protecti protection. what are the majority of men so afraid of? does anyone believe that the centuries of racial and economic domination to the united states have left their traces in the cultural views or institutions it's not likely given the evidence to the contrary. it is compounded by the lack of acknowledgment of violence across the continent that continued such as the legal segregation and institutional racism, criminalization of incarceration. another countr contributes to te firearms so that is one of the chapters. thank you. ask him if we [applause] it's been something that's concerned me more and more. what other countries or just in your scholarship and studies of other countries have you looked at and what would you suggest for solutions to bring down the gun violence problem? >> european countries are people who always wonder why you're there so ma

that is the fixed policy of united states of america. as president trump has said many times, i always believe in talking. we have made it very clear that we are open to communicating our policy to the regime in north korea. what north korea needs to understand, as i made clear in an announcement in japan, when we announced a new round of sanctions that will be imposed, the largest ever. we are confident our allies will join us in it. nothing will change until the day comes that north korea permanently abandons its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and seizes to threaten -- ceases to threaten the united states of america. mike: it does not sound like those two things are preconditions for any conversation. it sounds like you are looking at the tools in your belt and do more talking. vice pres. pence: it is accurate to say that we want to make sure north korea understands us. if there is an opportunity for talks that can communicate the fixed policy of united states of america to them, the president has made it clear. he alwa

bad blood between iran and the united states is one of the reasons why the united states wants to keep a footprint there it really is quite amazingly doing the bidding of riyadh in tel aviv all the time because there is now absolutely no strategic interest of the united states or the anyone in the european union about syria and i think that. it's always misguided the more they listen to riyadh in detail of the the opposite happens iran's influence continues to expand when are they going to learn go ahead in a year that's true iran has in some ways benefited from the disasters wreaked on the middle east by the us in the last few decades but i would completely disagree that europe and the us have no interest in containing iran or destroying syria the us certainly does and the west in general and especially britain and the usa do are very concerned as i said drive the outset to destroy any independent or potentially independent force in the global south of. israel and saudi arabia the. bulldogs if you like of western power in the middle east the watchdogs keeping that area basically under

it is very unfair to the united states and it is very unfair to the workers of the united states, very, very unfair. and even today it is extremely hard on companies that want to do business in china. because the barriers are incredible. whereas the barriers coming into our country are foolishly not, foolishly. i believe in reciprocal trade. if they do something to us, we do something to them. well, that never happened. and it has gotten worse and worse over the years but we'll correct it. that can be the only thing that can get in the way of a truly long-term, great relationship because we have all the ingredients for friendship. from the "washington examiner," gabby. >> thank you, mr. president. your chief of staff, general kelly, has recommended ending the practice of granting interim security clearances to members of the trump administration. >> yeah. reporter: if that proceeds would you be willing to grant a waiver to jared kushner, one much your senior advisors? >> well, jared has done an outstanding job. he has been treated unfairly. he is a high-quality person. he works for not

united states. once again let's check out the text because it's so exciting to compare the evolution of the preamble so we'll go back to this great interactive you can check it out online at constitutioncenter.org/treasures and here this is the manuscript of the committee of detailed repo report. look, there's the original preamble. we the people of the states of new hampshire, massachusetts, rhode island and providence plantations, connecticut, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, delaware, maryland, virginia, north carolina, south carolina, and georgia do ordain, declare and establish the following constitution for the government of ourselves and our posterity. it doesn't have all that inspiring language about establish justice, provide for the common defense and so forth. it just says ordain declare and establish the constitution for the government of ourselves and our posterity. now let's see what else this next draft says, the style of the government, the name shall be the united states of ameri

of the united states and the president of the united states. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the house of representatives. the honorable paul ryan.

[applause] rep. ryan: the congressional gold medal is one of our oldest traditions. since its founding, our country has been ushered beyond the threshold of greatness by individuals of unri

states these are people, young people, brought to the united states by their parents in a very early age and they were going to be given a chance to stay here two years at a time and not be deported and able to legally work. who are these young people? 91% of them are currently in school or working and we know as well 20000 of them have graduated from college and are teaching inls our schools, great schools, high schools and we know that 900 of them even though they are undocumented volunteered to serve in the united states military and are currently in uniform willing to risk their lives for this country that has not accepted them as citizens. the list goes on and there are premed students and in first responder'r status and they're doing extraordinary things but president trump announced last september 5th that allow them to stay in the united states was coming to an end when -- in three weeks. march 5, this year. what happened if congress fails to do anything for march 5th. if we fail to do anything to resolve this crisis created by president trump we will see 1000 of these young

for someone that age to get weapons in the united states i mean i mean is it even legal. well i was a former front man and that man and bill in television other star you had to have i would have to be by that i have insurance i had to have a. a say trigger locks i did all the city equipment here in the united states no one if people can have an armory in their house and not be required to have the seat quitman that it's necessary to keep these guns away from he just want to kill people that's this wait is this guy wanted to kill people no one can tell me that he was that it was. evil that it came out of a group of other people tomorrow in another school somewhere in the united states we don't. seventeen school shootings since beginning of the year and yet doesn't even count the number of school shootings that were intervened by police forces that were stopped from happening we don't even know how many of that stock the fact that the facts are these are available adam lanza. we need each other say it pulled out all these does it kill all those children don't even isis didn

the european challenge to the united states was if the united states really wanted to walk the walk, the united states had take this as its own area. if you guys talked about armenia for all those years and how awful the turks were in armenia, take over the mandate for armenia. take it over for palestine. put skin in the game. do what we're doing, and take on the burden of operating these parts of the world. >>> now, i can talk about it more if you want, but i'm going to skip ahead to what tasker bliss thought about this because i find it's really interesting. bliss understood the odds of the united states coming into this part of the world and making it better were really slim. all the ideals, all the good ideas, all the wonderful things in wilson's 14 points and in other documents simply weren't going to work. bliss said this. it seems that certain promises were made to the arabs. he's referring here to promises by the british to take all that stuff and make one arab federation out of it. in the early days of the war -- and now they are so unkind as to insist on these promises bein

states in the united states even. then secretary of defense carter and also the current chief of general stuff down for admitted there and still they still admit that there is not difference between kicky and white b.g. if that is not different that they are you at mit it means that both of them are terrorist organization this is the double stand that in europe or so many political parties politicians and even some countries are supporting. p.k. k. k. which is listed by your opinion as well just because they share the same ideology of marxist communist lens. so this is unfortunately tell you for many different political parties and the politicians and the countries and how can we defeat terrorists with this understanding and with those kind of double standards this is not only a problem of the us which is a very serious. prior knowing in the war that they're fighting or all sorts of terrorist organization in the war but in syria they are collaborating with that there are sort of an assertion where we'll come back to t

our dialogue with the united states is good. it has in the united states is good. it has in the united imposed tariffs on argentine bio diesel? we look to europe and a second... trade tariffs on argentine bio diesel? this is something that happens with different countries to discuss how to construct the price of bio diesel. week, the eu, they did the same. we went to the wto and we won the panel. now the americans are doing this because there are people in the us who are still affected. we say we are not being affected. we say we are not being affected the close you import from many other countries. let's discuss this. this does not mean that the relationship is good or bad. it is a commercial issue. you just said that we wa nt commercial issue. you just said that we want to open up trade. and we are. we are. yet here you have the united states imposing tariffs. were sending food, lemons, we are sending pork, were sending different things to the united states. we have our discussion concerning bio diesel. that is all. president macri, before assuming the president

states willing to go along with this and gauge meant here because the united states has an awful lot at stake with its presence in south korea and its own not only about north korea's nuclear program go ahead brian well peter i believe that we're at a pivotal moment because the attempt by the south korean government the moon giant government that came about as a consequence of very popular uprising that overthrew to minutely and led to the impeachment of the last conservative government and he. wants to have a rapprochement lessening of tensions and possibly the beginning of real reconciliation on the korean peninsula between north and south korea this happened as happened in the past that happened certainly in the year two thousand madeline albright was dispatched by bill clinton to pyongyang candidate john went and met with kim jong il who is kim jong un's father then head of north korea but when there was taking place at that time it was with washington's blessing and as a consequence we see right now and this is why i consider this to be a pivotal moment it's a test of whether or

anything else is justified including bringing over 1500 x nazis to the united states. the reason was called paperclip interestingly is because whenever there was a file, they thought that the americans in particular were interested and they would put up paperclip on one corner of the dossier. that would signal to have was looking at it that the prison was important. and the person was worthwhile. secondly, it told them, not look too deep into this persons record if they are a nazi or have some other criminal element to them. because we need them. simply saying, do not investigate this person too much. which i think is the hardest why the paperclip is controversial. because so many will brought over with those backgrounds. >> obviously, there have been tremendous breakthroughs in atomic energy. but we were not nearly as advanced in the aeronautics as the germans had seemed to be. the germans invented a fuel based long-range rocket which did little to help them win the war. in fact it was a terror weapon but the technology was identified as something that if mass-produce

all across the united states. these were people, young people, brought to the united states by their parents, in a very early age, and they were going to be given chance to stay here, two years at a time, and not be deported and be able to legally work. who are these young people? 91% of them currently in school or working. we know as well 20,000 of them have graduated from college and are teaching in our schools. grade schools, high schools. we know that 900 of them, even though they are undocumented, volunteered to serve in the united states military and are currently in uniform, willing to risk their lives for this country that has not accepted them at citizens. the list goes on. they're premed students, they're in first responder status, they're doing some pretty extraordinary things. but president trump announced last september 5th that the program that allowed them to stay in the united states was coming to an end, when? in three weeks, march 5th this year. what happens if congress fails to do anything? befo

time and then they are released back into the united states. why would we do that? reestablish processes to resolve the spread that's basically border security and dealing with naturalization. we've had individuals who have said where does the diversity lottery and where does the issue of family come into this. let me tell you connects. they do connect. right now we have 4 million people waiting through the process to come to the united states. that is a 20 year backlog. that's 20 years. that's irrational. we would like to be able to fix the process. before we add another 2 million people into this and take a 20 year process and the 25 or 30 year process once we get to the backlog time period, let's fix what is obvious. quite frankly this issue of reunification is not a new issue. in 1995, democratic house member barbara jordan led a study about what to do on immigration and made a major proposal on what to do in 1995 this would allow us to empty out the backlog, those 20 year backlog to be able to come into the united states at a faster pace.

of the united states. why was that change made? well, some say it was merely a stylistic change because the framers didn't know which of the 13 states would actually ratify so they hedged their bets by keeping it more concise plus that was shorter and others disagree and say the change to we, the people of the united states, was the tangible expression of james wilson's belief that we the people of the united states as a whole are sovereign, not we the people of the individual states. there are another series of really important changes, congressional power is altered. congress has the power to declare rather than make war. the presidential term is finally four years and they eliminated the term limits of the seven-year term, plus it's election by the electoral college and that was the compromise wilson wasn't able to get popular election which was what he wanted so the electoral college was considered, a group of wise delegates who because they would actually know the best candidates would be able to exer

her entire life she's lived here in the united states -- here, the united states is her home. she grew up living the american dream like any other american citizen. she celebrates the same traditions, ate the same food, enjoyed the same active to -- activities that any of her friends. throughout her education she always had been a good student and always very active, not just school activities but also with the community. she has been in girl scouts since the age of 4. played both soccer and volleyball for many years and now is a high school student. nicole spent many hours volunteering in the community and getting involved with organizations such as dream project, unidas u.s. and many more. after finding out she was undocumented she thought all her hard work an effort was for nothing but thanks to president obama she was able to apply for daca and she told her story very brilliantly. at our press conference before the state of the union. if you could hear them tell their own stories, it's just -- about -- great humility conveying their stories because when you see them and th

states changes policy before that the united states was allowing isis to thrive without the right to go on between turkey and isis we know from kerry the secretary of state of the united states in a leaked audio file that he told the syrian opposition people that the united states allowed isis advance on damascus to put pressure on president assad so only when the tide turned to the united states decided to start fighting isis and that was because they wanted a piece of syria so that they could. basically pursue. same policy let me let me let me point out a rise of the let me point out to our viewers of course the donald trump is taking complete credit for the diminished state of isis that's what you learn in western media it is really really remarkable. i could say you know i agree with you. i mean all also what's really at stake here is there looks like there is a game of chicken being played the united states and israel getting very aggressive and there are russian troops there they are legally they were invited there by the legal government in damascus and it looks like the penta

limited extent i know united states the idea of exceptionalism. u.s. mission is indispensable so this is this is really one of. grounds and foundations of u.s. statehood and u.s. political cultural political psychology so it will not change i think the united states now our. americans now are facing a period of uncertainty which is to be used to. a real doubt to this new world because dominance is impossible stan the understanding of this started not even during obama's presidency but after iraq war even bush presidents started to realize this imperial overstretch the frequently used notion from two sounds was just the reaction to. america started to understand the limits of the best city of the county which is maybe most powerful in history but still and in this regard i think next. i don't know eight fifteen years maybe ten us will try to find new ways how to accommodate. into this new world but it will be bad. because. having to project over the rest of the world. to project power next. president in ten years' time will be back to the. world now as

in the united states the site hit the headlines of your piece to. june two thousand and twelve on the dr phil show one of the most watched programs across the atlantic to her. friend even purchased a new car with cash on a d.v.d. the female students who use the site face up to the criticism. one way the site's founder defends himself is providing a very valuable service that people need you are a prostitute and you are a mit educated pam. despite the scandal the site has never been condemned by the north. today more than a million female students have signed up to it it's a case far less twenty three years old. anthony has a date with a female student he is single and has no qualms about using this site to go one day . at forty eight anthony is a successful businessman. he owns six hundred thousand dollars a year for around thirty thousand pounds a month. he's made a lifestyle out of the speak straight don't. mean yeah i'm going to get at it for three years both of you have years in the. house so i get. to be different beautiful whether we get to kn

did nations charter ok as i mentioned before the end of the program the united states trips around the world overturning governments involved in seven different wars without any kind of united nations mandate and they say that russia and china are revisionist powers i mean that is like the pot calling the kettle black go ahead adrian london. this is this is simple orwellian double speak from america. i'm not talking about american people i mean i have many american friends. who are. intelligent people when it comes to. the upper echelons of of american political sphere. get the sense and feeling that they are behaving like a spoiled brat who is dissatisfied with the fact that world is no longer looking towards them with the emphasis as it was before. the attacks on russia today with the attacks on russia as a whole as a. teen or you know china it is emphasizing it is insecurity that. its values or its point of view can be a challenge and this is whole thing about move to polarity that you and i can you know go to the t.v. screen or whatever go to any country and get the source for ours

human trafficking prosecution unit, or htpu, partners with the united states attorney's offices to prosecute labor trafficking, sex trafficking of adults, and trans national sex trafficking. hcpu leads our act team initiative which brings together federal agents and prosecutors in competitively selected districts. u.s. attorney who is with us today is a valuable member of one of those teams and he will be presenting today on some of the successes he has had in his district, including obtaining substantial restitution for survivors. we also work in partnership with the department of homeland security and our partners in mexico through a bilateral, anti-trafficking initiative aimed at dismantling trans national trafficking networks because human trafficking, of course, is often a trans national crime. toda today-- the day i was sworn in as attorney general, president trump sent me a memo to dismantle these criminal organizations. it is a high priority of ours. you can be sure that this includes human trafficking rings. and this is another reason why we must finally secure our border. trafficke

-- in the united states? >> our history with gun control and regulation is very different to the united dates. you are right -- united states. you are right. there was a mass shooting and has mania in 1996, and my indecessor -- in tasmania 1996, and my predecessor undertook some very big reforms. basically, semi automatic and let alone automatic weapons are essentially not available. indeed, there are many classes. the range of firearms that are available to people that do not have a specific professional need, like people who are involved in pest control and so forth, are very, very limited. it is a completely different context, historically, legally, and so forth. we are very satisfied with our laws. we maintain them, they are there, they are well known, you have referred to them, but we do not presume to provide policy or political advice on that matter here. you have an amendment to your constitution which deals with gun ownership, you have a very, very different history. i will focus on our own political

this region is not only important to the united states it's essential for the united states. and it will continue to provide enormous opportunities as an export destination for u.s. goodies and services. most importantly it's an opportunity for u.s. innovation, where the united states clearly still has a massive economic advantage. within the next two years australia wants to have a network of free trade agreements and a forward negotiating agenda which covers 80% of our total trade. we already have in place, as i said, free trade agreements with seven of our top ten two-way trading partners. and obviously there's a big focus on the endo-pacific. having recently concluded negotiations of a bilateral free-trade agreement with peru we are currently negotiating a free-trade agreement with the pacific alliance. singapore, canada and new zealand are doing the same. the region is not standing still and it will not wait. we are also very engaged in the negotiation of the regional comprehensive partnership, which includes 16 endo-pacific economies including china and india. together

states reacts when it attacks opponents of the united states the united states allows that to happen in even facilitate that trumps policy by the way the only thing that changed was that when the tide had turned with the help of the iranians and the russians and has for law and others when the tide had turned in the favor of the syrian legitimate government and they were regained. in their territory the americans wanted a piece of the cake and they wanted a place at the negotiating table and that's why they started helping. allied forces to take over. syrian territory. from isis just finally and briefly britain's minister teresa mayes minister others to bert in control tree to everything you've been saying says that iran should avoid actions of threaten regional stability what do you think he means by well the british are deeply involved in the rise of isis just as they've been helping the saudis create massacres in yemen and they helped the saudis create starvation in that country that the british intelligence. agency has been facilitating extremists in in britain to move toward to

states and turkey especially in the aftermath of an announcement from the united states that it intended to create a thirty thousand strong border force to protect syria's border with turkey now u.s. leaders backtracked from those comments but that hasn't stopped turkey from being quite upset by these remarks now we've recently seen the beginning of operation olive branch and this is turkish forces moving into syria to fight against the kurds two allies of the united states clashing with each other in syria as the tensions escalate we're even hearing calls to rename the street on which the u.s. embassy in turkey's capital is located there are calls to rename the street olive branch after operation olive branch the turkish operation to go into syria and fight against the kurdish forces armed by the united states there seems to be quite a bit of contradiction in the words and statements of u.s. leaders and there seems. to be rising tension between all three parties the usa turkey and the kurdish forces. the rift between turkey and the us could deepen further over another region in northern

you make the united states proud. madam president, the whole debate that we are now undertaking over immigration and the dreamers has become somewhat personal for me because it has reminded me in a very strong way that i and my brother are first generation americans. we are the sons of an immigrant who came to this country at the age of 17 without a nickel in his pocket, a young man who was a high school dropout, who did not know one word of english and who had no particular training. a few years ago my brother and i and our families went to this small town that he came from and it struck me the kind of courage he showed and other people showed leaving their hopeland to come to a very -- homeland to come to a very different world without money in many cases and without knowledge of the language. now my father immigrated to this country because the town that he lived in this poland was incredibly poor, there was no economic opportunity for him, people there struggled to put food on the table for their families. hunge

states with any other country and see that the the rules and regulations in the united states are really unique and they are really detrimental to the well being of. americans. well since the tragic incidents at sandy hook elementary school in connecticut we've seen a larger push in washington to try and get something done but again we also hear the other side saying that it's always too soon to politicize this do you think that this incident in florida will spark that debate again to maybe we'll see something happen in washington are we likely to see any action towards gun control on a federal level. well i don't know i'm not optimistic to be honest last year there were eleven incidents of mass. killings like this as a lebanon and last. the year before that they're worse they were. their worst six the year before that and as i said like ten years ago there were fewer incidents of these mass shootings they seem to be increasing and the political element here is it's a little bit deeper than simply. some you know some states and some congress people. you know support gun control and other

of the united states.

the united states does that as well. so i do think we need to ask about what the appropriate response to this is, but part of that is understanding for cicely what happened. and part of it is understanding what is the best response is to prevent it from happening. didof the reasons putin this is because of the sanction regime put in place. asause of what he perceives the same kind of activity in 2011 and 2012 in elections in russia. so is more of the same -- don the clinton about supporter protests against him. >> or cicely. onlineh the same kind of activity. we call it democracy promotion, but it uses some of the same kind of tactics as these will farms used on as. is,more important question is the issue keeping america safe and free from for interview -- intervention or is it needing to retaliate against putin? that may not be a binary choice, but it seems like this was a pretty remarkable attempt to interfere with the united states. the question is, what is the best response the united states can make going forward to

in 2014 the company established a translator project focused on the united states. in july of 2016 more than 80 employees were assigned to the translator project. two of the defendants allegedly traveled to the united states in 2014 to collect intelligence for their american influence operations. in order to hide the russian origins of their activities, the defendants allegedly purchased space on computer servers located here in the united states in order to set up a virtual private network. the defendants allegedly use that infrastructure to establish hundreds of accounts on social media networks such as facebook, instagram, and twitter. making it appear that those accounts were controlled by persons located in the united states. they used stolen or fictitious american identities, fraudulent bank accounts and false identification documents. the defendants posed as politically and socially active americans. advocating for and against particular candidates. they establish social media pages and groups to communicate with unwitting americans. they also purchased polit

[ applause ] before i begin and talk about the progress we've made, allow me to take a moment to address what i know is on all of our hearts this morning. the terrible attack that claimed the lives of 17 americans and injured more last week in parkland, florida. in america, we mourn with those who mourn and grieve with those who grieve. yesterday president trump and i met with the family of poll lack and other students and families reeling from the attack in parkland. we also met in the white house with families from other communities who have experienced the same violence firsthand. as the president said we'll never forget it. we prayed with them. we listened to them. as they poured out their hearts. as the president said, no child, no te

states and indeed does the united states small value an alliance with a key middle east country at a time when it's when its influence in the middle east is on the wane. well that's precisely the question that president out of the one has been directed at washington in almost every one of his speeches on the subject the problem is that the u.s. government is not functioning as coherently or as rationally as large of the as it has in the past when faced with such questions we have a very disorganized system of this is you're making in in the u.s. president trump and president added on have spoken on general twenty fifth but since then it's been that they left to his secretary of state secretary of defense and national security advisor to try and solve the problem but i think it's going to have to come to a decision on the u.s. side as to whether it does wish to proceed with the with the way p.g. over turkish objections and take the risks of a potential conflict over members down the road ok ali resist speaking to us from washington d.c. we'll leave it there thank you so much for your

and i want to thank the lieutenant and other members of the united states navy and united states military for their service. i would like to yield five minutes to the distinguished the gentleman from from texas, dr. burgess from the rules committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. burgess: mr. speaker, we are here today considering a continuing resolution that will provide dollars for the federal government and our national defense. and it also finally accomplishes re-authorization of funding for several important health care programs. these extensions are long overdue and i urge members to support this legislation so that our nation's doctors, other health care providers will have stability to continue their normal operations. the house passed many of these provisions last november. that's when we passed the championing healthy kids act. however, since house passage, the legislation has been stalled without action in the senate. now fortunately, the children's health insurance program was re-authorized in the last continuing resolution. seems like a l
