. this is a photograph china. we don't need to have a theory on this. we see what happens when countries don't value their people enough to protect them from dirty air. and actually there was a new study that shows 3.7 million people worldwide have died prematurely from outdoor air pollution. we also know over the last 40 years while there are people railing against e.p.a., the economy has grown 212% while air pollution has dropped 68%. a responsible budget must not lose sight of our top priorities including protecting the health and safety of the people. what's at stake if we do not have adequate safeguards in place. just look at west texas where 15 people died in chemical explosion or look at west virginia where a spill contaminated the water supply. by taking preventive action we can help communities avoid similar disasters and i intend next week to mark up a bill that senator manchen wrote with senator rock if he willer and myself. i really do pray we can get that done next week here in a bipartisan way. we'll get it done but i'm hoping for bipartisanship because when you have chemic

one. china has them, russia has them, canada has them. just about everybody else that has any arctic in its sphere of influence has an icebreaker. except for the united states. meaning if an american oil ship got stuck in the arctic, guess who would bail them snout our good friends, the russians. maybe our good friends, the communist chinese. the canadians, if we're lucky, will have a ship available to we can at least go with a free country if we had to get that ship out of trouble. we don't have an icebreaker. that's a traffic esty. icebreakers are expensive, especially if you just buy one. they're about $1 billion by the coast guard's account. there's other options to get an ice break. you can lease an icebreaker, like you lease a car. and it can be operated by merchant mariners, the same ones we've been when talking about this bill, that's who could run this icebreaker. we're going to work on that and that should be this subcommittee and this committee's crowning achievement, is getting an american icebreaker on the high seas to support american industry and american sea fairers i

[no audio] [no audio] >> good morning, everyone. thank you so much for joining us. i'm the director of the center for middle east policy and i am delighted to be hosting you this morning for a discussion of the iran negotiations, along with my colleagues from the arms control initiative also here in foreign policy at brookings. for all of us who follow the middle east, the pace and scope of events over the last week have been dizzying. whether it is the back and forth u.s.-iraqi-iranian role in tiktrit, the saudi intervention in yemen, or the negotiations in switzerland, what we are seeing in the region is not merely the consequence of the breakdown of the state border in the wake of the arab uprisings of 2011, but we are also seeing a grand struggle for power across the region. it is understandable that in that context, regional states feel a tremendous stake in seemingly small struggles. it is also understandable in that context why the significance of these negotiations and laws -- these negotiat

u.s. and a ron would agree to would be acceptable to both china and russia. in terms of continuing the field. after it is been concluded and implemented, i think the russians and chinese with very strongly want to see this deal perpetuated for a long time. that is one of the concerns, if we begin to see evidence of iran cheating or nibbling at the edge of compliance, some of our current p5 plus one negotiating partners would take the deal, let's pursue this, let's investigate this but let's not be too >> to pull the plug on this agreement. it is a concern that we may be under pressure to tolerate iranian noncompliance. i think the chinese and russians also have a stake in them not getting nuclear weapons. they have a stake in ensuring up they meet obligations as well. >> all of the domestic political pressures would be in the other direction. i suspect those pressures would trump, especially with relations between the united states and russia and the current condition. susan: i wanted to chime in on this issue to reference something bob mentioned earlier, which is the remarkable co

arsenals, china russia, and the united states to the united states' nuclear modernization program is particularly interesting for our purposes. it is not going to be cheap. the congressional budget office estimated it will be on the order of $350 billion over the next decade alone. "the economist" magazine had a special issue on nuclear weapons a couple weeks ago that summed it all up. "25 years after the soviet collapse, the world is entering a new nuclear age. nuclear stated she has become the cockpit of rogue regimes." the dealings are affected by rivalry, scary stuff. why are new nuclear powers acquiring nuclear weapons? what is the value of nuclear weapons? what is the logic requiring this of those forces questioned macau have leaders from the past thought about the relationship between nuclear weapons and national security? how does it fit in today with our broader for policy program? i cannot think of many better people to answer these questions than the two gentleman seated with us today. professor francis gavin, nuclear security policy at m.i.t. before going to m.i.t., he wa

forward and we have done a great joint agreement with china. if the two biggest polluters can get together and the two biggest economies, we will be ok moving into paris. we should have momentum. erica: secretary fox mentioned that you sent over these heavy-duty trucks, can you tell us a little bit about what to expect there? admin. mccarthy: first we already did one heavy-duty rule. that will be the same like you see on light duty vehicles, looking to see the same kind of innovation and progression and technology we are looking for. i think most of us think light-duty vehicles are the big ticket item but if you look now heavy-duty vehicles are huge emitters of greenhouse gases. providing efficiency will not only drive significant reduction, but it is also going to be tremendous for commercial benefits. it will lower the cost of consumer goods. i cannot give you any of the details, but i am looking forward to this having an expedited review. it will be a terrific rule and we are working strongly with the industry in all aspects. the last thing i would mention is we did pretty good

. it is an interesting contrast to what appears to be a much different attitude in china today, where despite an increasingly vigorous form policy and military expansion, based upon an impressive economic and technological base, the people's republic of china seems relatively sanguine about being on the short end of a nuclear balance of the united states. answering these three questions would go a long way toward helping us navigate the nuclear choices we have in front of us that josh so eloquently laid out. i wish i could provide you with concrete answers to these and other important puzzles, but historians traffic in uncertainty and context, and they are far better at asking hard questions and throwing cold water on those that would provide easy answers, which is probably why do not get invited to more terrific events like this. [laughter] it is hard to get excited by his bigger whose conclusions are, it is complicated, it all depends, or we cannot really know. that said, i do look forward to discussing these and any other west and you have an hearing from my distinguished fellow pa

global leadership and credibility which resonates from ukraine to the south china sea everywhere i think our allies are wondering to what extent they can trust our security guaranties anymore. to some extent they can't trust us anymore has potentially a positive impact. you're seeing japan, for example, spend a little more on defense and trying to do a little more for their own security when they're facing, intercepting something like 800 chinese flights a year bordering their airspace. they feel the threat pretty keenly there. they're starting to do more. i think overall, cards are on the table. i think that the united states role in leadership since 1945 has been a goal. i think about the reputation of the united states standing in the forefront of mobile security has tremendously been undermined . i think it makes the world a dangerous place. to say nothing of the incredible mess in the middle east, which is almost beyond comprehension. michael: janine, do you have anything to like to add? audrey: i would not generalize how they react in the middle east with respect to how they react

china, they are looking to india as a buyer of energy products, they are looking in a different direction for major power involvement in the region because they don't trust that they can count on u.s. major power involvement in the region, and that is compounded by the fact that the notion of eu foreign-policy is a fantasy. the eu has not gotten it back together yet enough to actually have a foreign-policy. the atlantic alliance and the deterioration that is taking place within the context of that alliance has contributed to this weakening in the middle east, as well as to the weakening in the face of putin. that needs to be addressed if you are going to address this pivot and issues in the region as well. dov: the reason i said we should continue talking is precisely so that we can do the things david talked about. restore credibility. there is no reason for us to say that if we cannot get something done by the end of march, we are going to walk away. that is exactly the wrong thing to say. the right thing to say is, if we cannot get something done by march, we will just keep t

soviet union less than 20 years after the bolshevik revolution. with china, it took us longer. but not much. 20 years before nixon went to china. the possibility -- it is one of those possibilities, particularly if something productive comes out of these talks, which both sides see as positive. then they can say there is something in this for us. that can lead on. i would make one prediction. once we get to that point where we are talking seriously we are going to ask themselves what was the fuss about? why did we waste so much time bashing the other side? but we are not there yet. >> i am from the naval research lab. it appears we have a binary choice, can we be engaged with saudi arabia and iran productively? we see the saudi's becoming more and more anxious, particularly with the engagement in human, -- in yemen. looking for u.s. support and what they are doing from a sunni perspective. we are engaged in a conflict with iran on the one hand and try to negotiate with them on the other. can we actually have a productive relationship on both sides of that? which side should we be on? >

is coming down on what line. and then we see october 4, china and russia, watch the lines here. china and russia use veto power to block potential sanctions on syria. this creates a global risk that will continue for months. not only will it continue for months, it will continue for years, five years to be exact. november 12, syria is suspended from the arab league. the suspension is a harsh diplomatic punishment, isolating assad's regime from arab neighbors. syria called it a betrayal of arab solidarity. next we see january 6, the free syrian army gains strength with one of assad's generals defecting along with soldiers from the syrian army. this is a turning point in the civil war. you think about your memory in january 2012, and what people were talking about. and how they were talking about the conflict they were saying is , only a matter of time before assad goes. the opposition is winning. february 4, russia and china veto a you and security -- veto a u.n. security resolution backing an arab league peace plan. on february 6, the u.s. embassy suspends operations and closes

put out, warning of the element of a rising china. finally, in the age of snowden when so many people would not defend the national security agency, chairman rogers stood tall and help to explain to the explain to theo american people the need for great intelligence and why it was so critical to our national security, diplomacy, and are giving indications and warnings across the globe. this was at a time when it was not popular to stand up, and certainly at a time when the president was not doing all he could have been doing to back some of our men and women in the intelligence community. he was a tough critic of the intelligence community and went after them on budget matters and authorities, in areas where you thought there was too much micromanagement. his chairmanship will be regarded as one that reestablished the tradition of aggressive, but fair, oversight of the intelligence community. i am pleased to introduce the chairman. chairman mike rogers. thank you. [applause] mike: i wish mike was that nice to me when i was chairman. [laughter] mr. rogers: i'm fortunate that i s

-- most recently, jordan and china. and indeed, third, international cooperation and commitment continue to grow. and the imminent entry into force of the amended convention on the physical protection of nuclear material is a great achievement. and this important milestone reinforces our efforts at this summit today. i'm also delighted that earlier summits have provided a legacy into other respects. firstly, the scenario-based policy discussion we introduce in the hague was valuable experience. today, we are using this tool again. and i look forward to an informal, concrete, interactive discussion, and i have no doubt it will be just as successful as in the hague. secondly, there is the gift basket. it's great to see how initiatives launched by one or more countries can bring us closer to a breakthrough. in the past few months alone, new gift baskets have been added on complex issues like cybersecurity and insider threats. let's keep up the momentum even after this final nss. dear colleagues, this summit is not the end of our quest to make the world safe from nuclear terrorism. the five

them, they disappeared after major policies, china entering the world trade organization. our trade treaties, they are not even enforced, it is kind of a joke around the globe. trading partners, like china, they are contractually banned from unfairly subsidizing products. they do it anyway and they laughed all the way to the bank. they are cheating with tactics and is manipulation and we cannot compete when they are devaluing their currency. donald trump is hot on this, because he is the only one who understands the art of the deal. our partners cheating is how are middle-class disappears. ideologues, they say we cannot respond, we need to scare people, talk about trade wars. wisconsin, these are the voices responsible for trade surrender. they say, we cannot enforce the rules, because then maybe it will cost a penny more. a company, ify, cheat us, they will pretend it does not happen and we will lose jobs. ultimately, though, what happens is if we move the american work ethic that built this nation, politicians create a people dependent on government and grow government control ove

, iran, china, or north korea. it should be noticed that in the bill there is $76 billion set aside to promote global internet freedom and democracy in closed societies like cuba, where the regime allows no independent press and limits access to the internet. it also states that "with respect to the provision of assistance for democracy, human rights, and government activities, these programs shall not be subject to the prior approval by the government of any foreign country." it is common sense that we should not ask the government of ironic -- iran or egypt or china for permission to support advocates of free speech, human rights, or political pluralism or provide uncensored access to the internet or social media. juste end of the day, giving people the opportunity to communicate with the outside world and each other is, in my mind, a fundamental responsibility of any democracy. as bill gates said, "the internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow." and he is right. to go one step forward -- further, the town square will become more free and inclusive thank

projects. i was one of the most travel governors last year. china, japan, korea europe. we just one 2000 more jobs. i opened a new plant in appomattox where i was yesterday. the 150th anniversary. 150 years ago lee and grant ended the civil war. i was there. we brought a company back from china. the largest deal done in 44 years in appomattox virginia. we brought back an old shuttered furniture company. we reopen that facility and turned it into a manufacturing facility. that manufacturing facility is making pollution control devices. we are taking those pollution control devices to our report which is the deepest on the east coast, and shipping them back to china and selling it to china. you want to talk about a new economy, this is the new virginia economy. i was able to convince the chinese ceos that we had a workforce that you will have 20 years from today. you will not invest in a state unless you are convinced that there is a workforce for 30 years. >> we are having video difficulty with our event at the center for american progress with virginia governor terry mcauliffe. we a

china twice and japan and korea and europe. the largest investment into the united states we just won that in virginia. $2 billion investment and i just opened a new plant 150th an anniversary anniversary. 150 years ago they ended up the civil war but i was there exciting. we brought a company back from china. it was the largest deal done in 44 years in virginia. we brought a company back that bought an old shutter furniture facility. we turned it into a manufacturing facility and that manufacturing facility is now making pollution control devices and taking those devices and taking them to our port and guess what? we're shipping them back to china and selling it back to china. you want to talk about a new economy. that is a new virginia economy. and the reason we're able to do it i was visiting china and we have a workforce that you'll have 5, 10, 15 years from today. it starts with early childhood education, so everybody is sort of beginning to get on the bus here and figure out what it is we need to do to compete in a global economy. every governor faces the same challenges, growin

? well the picture has changed. and if india is a growth bright spot in that group china is slowing, although its growth is certainly more sustainable. subis a harne africa continues to perform strongly but russia is experiencing economic difficulties, brazil is stagnating at best, and many parts of the middle east are beset by political and economic turmoil. so we should not think of emerging economies as just one single group. each country faces very specific circumstances some of them easier, some of them more difficult. so what does it imply in terms of policies? with overall growth moderate, the global economy continues to face a number of significant challenges. there is for instance, what i have called last year the low-low, high-high risk. that is low inflation, low growth, high unemployment, high debt. and that risk persists for a number of advanced economies. clearly as a result all policies space and levers must be utilized and it begins with demand support. how is that implemented? first of all, continued monetary policy, accommodation, is needed especially in the euro a

everywhere. and that one indian tribe can be as different from another as china is from france. it would never occur to them that indians are many different things. that in fact, there is no such , thing as an indian. indian is a something that was made up. and yet, when we see the imagery associated with the mascots, they all tend to look alike. that in itself tells us people are being misled. we've begun a series of exhibitions at the museum. patient was guest curated by suzanne harjo. this is about treaties. part of this is that we simply want people to gain a simple understanding of history. we don't want them to think of it as strictly native american history, because it is not, it is american history. in many respects, world history. it is just history. not american indian history. and so when we teach about a situation like this, that is the point where trying to make. this is everybody's inheritance. it's not just an indian thing. we talk about the treaties of the anandaigua. the central figure of a house is on either side of it. the figures represent the mohawk nation and the se

think, you know, products made in china are sold in miami. so merchandise, products, cross borders every day. money crosses borders in an instant through electronic banking. the only, you know, and so do people cross borders. and what we are discussing is the dramatic ways in which many people cross borders. people are crossing borders all the time, and for a fortunate number of them, they have the proper documents, et cetera, et cetera. but there is a number that are left out. refugees are another issue, you know, people forced to leave because of politics or because of economic reasons. so, you know, migration is a reality that is part of our globalized world and we're trying to respond to it in a human way. and one way to respond to it is by constructing laws that are just in human -- just and human , that serve the common good. and i think immigration reform serves the common good. as far as the cuban adjustment act, as i said, i think it should serve as a model or a template of how we should treat of the groups of immigrants because its work so very well with the cubans. we do

. thank you. >> thank you. my question is about china's economic growth. we have just seen very poor trade data in march. is china -- if china's authority were to continue to use the depreciation of rnb as a tool to support economic growth to reach its goal forecast 7.5% which is also the imf forecast for china's growth this year, what would be your comment on that? thank you. >> well, i think you're jumping to conclusions. recent nly took the increase of the variation as a move in the direction of the internationalization of the currency. and i would not characterize it as an intended depreciation of the currency. certainly we welcome the internationalization going forward. and we believe that there will be steps in that direction going forward. in terms of china contributeion to international growth, clearly china is playing a key role with 7.5% growth target for 2014 it is clearly contributing significantly as from the various discussions that i had two weeks ago when i was in china i took great comfort from the fact of the rebalancing not only is being visible in numbers but is a

reasons i suspect why russia and china are particularly not like it is, not just because it can be used for illicit purposes, because it completely evades capital control. if i were russia or china would be paranoid about this because of capital. people want to get the monies out of both countries and to get into safer currencies. and those governments have controls on what monies can be allowed to leave the borders. there are no such controls on the. so to imagine the are a lot of government interest involved in trying to stop something like bitcoin right now. now, can bitcoin really be able, if it roasters becoming important, stand up not just against the u.s. government and the irs try to figure this out, but very dedicated bureaucrats to what extent that any such as the that they can't control speech and what they want to control the transmission of monetary policy. as you say. >> there's a lot backed up against it. >> not all necessarily, not all of that control businesses to the good and in a way i would put it reflective of the values that the atlantic council stands to promote.

expression access in ed belarus, china or north korea. it should be noted that in the fiscal year setting the foreign operations bill, there's $76 million set aside to promote global international -- internet societies in closed societies like cuba, where the government allows no downtown point from press and also states that with respect of the decision for democracy, u.s. rights and govern nance activities that these programs "sthouled shall not be subject to the prior approval or any foreign government or country." >> it's common sense that we presently vocate tore provide unsensored access to the internet or social media. at the end of the day just giving people the opportunity to communicate with the outside world than with each other is in my mind a fundamental responsibility of any demock cri, the internet becoming the town square for the glob. but to go one step further the town square will become more free and inclusive thanks to the democracy efforts of organizations like u.s. aid. and let me just close on this one point. i think it is dumb, dumb and even dumber to go ahead and

because of demand. china, indonesia, mexico have all asked for increase of the limit. we have a limit as to what one single country could ask for. we would increase the limit for the five countries. the increase in fees -- in other words, all of the money that will be loaned that is above the single borrower limit, we've increased by 50 basis points. forerms of advice countries, that has not been increased. the concessional loans for the poorest countries are focused -- are zero interest with a 40 year maturity. that has not changed. for some countries, especially the very poorest, we still provided grants. the fees have only change for a very small percentage of countries. we are very grateful because they had to approve that. as you can imagine, it was not an easy conversation. we take this as a vote of confidence that despite the increase of cost, these countries are ready and willing to pay best because they like what they get from the world bank group. in terms of intermediaries, it has been one of the strategies that we have used in terms of making access to finance and reality.

was one of the most traveled governors last year. i went to china, japan, korea europe. the largest investment by a chinese company ever into the united states, we just one that -- $2 billion. i just opened a new plant in appomattox where i was yesterday, the hundred 50th anniversary, when 150 years ago generals lee and grant ended the war together. in appomattox, i was there excited. he brought a company back from china in the largest deal and 44 years. we brought a company back, the thomasville furniture factory. we have turned it into a manufacturing facility. that facility is now making pollution-control devices. guess what, folks? we are taking them to our report , the deepest on the east coast -- guess what? we are shipping them back to china, selling it back. you want to talk about a new economy? that is a new virginia economy. the reason we are able to do it, i was able to convince the ceos in china that we had eight workforce that you are going to have 15 years from today. you will not invest in a state unless they are convinced you will have a workforce for 30 years. it st

missions from uruguay to the peoples republic of china. finally, our discussion in the center will be a need to mcbride, chief of staff to first lady laura bush:. ms. mcbride is executive in residence for the center of congressional and presidential study in the american university in washington. she direct programming and national conferences on the legacies of america's first lady and their influence on politics, policy, and global diplomacy. she served as chief of staff first lady laura bush from 2005-2009. in this capacity, she directed the staff work on a variety of domestic and global initiative in which mrs. bush was involved. each of the speakers is going to have 10 minutes to speak. at the conclusion of their presentations, we will have q&a from the audience. there will be floating microphone so you will be asked to raise her hand. thank you. enjoy. [applause] >> good morning. the valuation of the first lady's role is evolution, its societal expectation perception her particular execution of the role has oscillated throughout the course of history. the commitments of every pr

to ever visit the people's republic of china and created joint nina case that are continuing today and particularly with the library of congress. when mrs. bush says that time is short, get going, she means what she says. she trusts others, and people respond. after leaving the white house, she means it still as she continues to lead. one area i have been involved in the women's initiative at bush institute, in which she the chair. beginning with two classes of egyptian women, the bush institute has brought them to smu in dallas the lord about writing mission statement setting goals, and based upon an smu professors research, how to build a network, the single most important measure of any woman success. they are paired with a mentor and sent across the u.s. to learn about business, social media, the law, and politics as well as our own countries struggle to achieve a democracy. they visit their mentors hometown and build networks learning how to cascade their new knowledge to women back in egypt. my own mentee sandy wanted to learn how to export products made by traditional egypti

that affected china and toronto and other countries in 2003. but really, i'm about prevention and that is to keep our of my career. host: the doctor is with us for the next 40 minutes on "washington journal." the lines are split regionally. if you're in the central original time zones host: with zika, how close are we to a zika vaccine? always want to vaccine when things are new and scary but they take years to develop it these to take 10 or 15 years to develop but with some new technologies we have the opportunity to fast-track that. the nih has candidate vaccines four zika but we won't have one ready for general use in the best case two years after that. it takes a while to do the studies to evaluate a potential vaccine, but there is also a regulatory process, and i would fda has been committed to rapid review of emergency products. last year, we were testing -- the fda was excellent in looking at all of the proposals rapidly. a fast-track review will speed up the time where the materials about the vaccine are being looked at. you know, everybody is keen to get a vaccine for zik

now in the south china sea conflict. because it is a significant liability in confronting the chinese over the issue of the south china sea that we cannot use the law of the sea arguments as effectively because we will not ratify the treaty ourselves for reasons that are 20 plus years old. now we are actually really helping the chinese on a crisis that matters a lot to us because we won't endorse transnational rules that would be hugely in our interest. again, because we are following these old scripts. to leavehing i want you with, if you internalize these messages, transnational, indirect approach. a way to able to see get around, flyover, or reconceived a lot of the partisan arguments that paralyze us. i saw theher: professor nodding vigorously when you talked about transnational. i wonder if i could turn to you to talk about the implications are one element of that grand strategy, which has been stable 50 years or so. the united states has advocated a policy that we might call free trade that has had a pretty solid the best a consensus. are we at a moment right now because

and terrorism financing. the two largest economies, the united gates and china have a unique responsibility to work together to share prosperity, maintain a constructive global economic order and make progress in challenges as climate change. we will hold the seventh to teach it economic dialogue, a platform that has strengthened relations between our countries and provide a forum to discuss important priorities like china's shift towards consumption and greater transparency and predictability in its policymaking. while the progress of the last year has helped advance this important agenda, we cannot take our global role for granted and we must think about how our choices will affect the leadership in the future. ofvious generations americans have provided a foundation on which to advance our values and build a prosperous future. now is to strengthen that architecture and adapt it to new challenges. if we come together and accomplish this, we will not only support today's posterity, we will ensure the next generation inherits a stronger platform for navigating tomorrow's econ

competitiveness and the environment there with, you know china on the rise and the prospects for, you know, increased interaction between that region of the asia pacific and where we are in europe what kind of rules and the norm are we going to abide by? that's why it gets me back to carrying about the trade issues. nothing i think is more important right now than to see a completion of these trade agreements so we can establish some type of international law and norms that we're used to, that the other, you know countries that we are allied with are used to in terms of conducting business and protecting rights. so -- and human rights as well as every other right. i care about it and i plan long term to stay engaged. >> are you planning to stay more involved in politics from the wall street perspective? mr. cantor: well, i am -- i would say that i've been given a great opportunity to join a firm that's very new. the firm, moells and company is only eight years old. very entrepreneurial. very much trying to solve problems and, you know, you say wall street but it is -- this firm is pos

agreement. at this white we have to look at allies at the table. china and russia altogether. china and russia don't want other countries like saudi arabia and turkey and the united arab don't want a raise. -- race. we have get over the politics and get to the facts. >> data secretary make a plea for congress to week -- w ait? >> he was just giving the facts. >> do you support the corker bill? >> i'm just doing my thing and listening. i've been briefed on this for years. the will say this, i have a problem with the senate sending a letter. the united states of america undermining our president. i think that is wrong. and i'm really concerned they did that because that weakens the united states. let's get the politics height as and move ahead with what is best for the country. -- politics behind us and move ahead with what is best for the country. >> now a conversation on u.s. immigration policy with immigrant rights activists and the archbishop of miami. the panel was critical of congress and the obama administration for not doing more to address undocumented immigrants in america. they

talking about tighter, the influence -- you were talking about the influence of china. in 50 years time, if the united states walks away from the continent of africa and just c edes on the influence to china, it will be seen as the worst on policy mistake of the start of the 21st century. it is that big. why would you? these people love you. they are entrepreneurs. they are smart. they're coming to your universities. it is great china is competing. one thingesident xi, about him is he is very big on tackling corruption in china. now i want to see that in africa. if he starts to tackle corruption in africa, it would be transformative. i am not sure he is watching c-span at the minute, but i would love to have that conversation. [laughter] >> mr. chairman, thank you very much for this hearing. thank you all. sen. graham: thank you very much. a couple of observations and we are trying to be proactive. the goal of this hearing is to focus on the problem. it is going to get worse if somebody does not deal with it now. it is better to invest now or you will pay later. losing jordan, i don't t

percent. -- person. he told me about a product to is innovating. he had sent money to china and have not heard anything. could i help? i asked when he needed his prototype and he said yesterday. i said i would see what i could do, send me his drawing. two days later, he knocked on my door to check the progress. he put his head in my door and i pointed to the platform across my office. he looked at his prototype and looked at me and back at the printer, speechless. i said that is your prototype. he said this is like magic. it is not magic. it is a tool that helps us do our work better, locally. most of the time, faster with optimized solutions. whatever work we are carrying out. 3-d printing is a disruptive technology. is changing the who, how , when, why, and what of how we solve problems. if we can imagine it and we have the skill to design it, the printers will print it. we have made things we have never made before. we're disrupting economies of scale and democratizing production. and entrepreneurial opportunities are at the heart of this technology. there are some barriers to eng

, why doesn't it fight china which is a huge communist country. you are still fighting russia which is not communist country anymore. you can like it or not like it. it is not about communism anymore. the cold war was about communism. why not with china? that was about something else. what was it about? that is basically my question. on how yout based see russia as a power that challenges you or what? russia was a regional power. i still do not understand. it is kind of silly. what was it about? what is the basis for american policy? if we had a chance to talk to the president now? part abouttake you a history. i shall not to do so. i expected from you though fiery response. do respect it. i do respect it. myself, i feel that things are not in the same the way you see them. and i think that is not very constructive on what is going to happen now. i look at this question of ukraine at the moment. ukraine is intertwined in many ways, culturally, his store y with-- historicall russia since the ninth century. as civilization was there. it is a very complicated case. it is not so simple. in

the united states of america becomes the leader, we can have a huge impact in moving china, in moving india, in moving other countries. when we moved the issues like energy efficiency, in vermont right now, we are weatherizing thousands of homes. your senator has been very active on this issue. when you do these things, you cut people's fuel bills vary significantly. you cut greenhouse gas emissions. you create jobs. that is what you do. [applause] be patient. i am coming to the end. i do not know how to juggle. why did you put this thing first and this thing second? they are all important. they are about the future of america. i want to get to something else. what for many people is not a particularly sexy issue. it is at the heart of everything. campaign finance. [applause] now, a few years ago, the united states supreme court made a decision that had people scratching their heads. they said in the citizens united case, my understanding is that citizens united is one of the hosts of the republican event, they said that corporations are people. equally important, that individu

includes an excessive list of recommendations from north korea, the people of the korean china and society, other states in the course for the united nations and international community. we will be hearing more about the recommendations. is to running throughout notote more context, less. policymakers should consider this as they approach their policy toward that part of the world. the report has re: led to adoption of the human rights council resolution on march 28. it takes steps to enable enhanced monitoring and continued visibility of human rights of the north korean people. will discuss kirby recommendations of the read work. kirby had a long and distinguished career as a jurist in austria. he served on the high court between 2006 and 99. he also served on several university governing bodies. he has also held numerous leadership roles with the organizations. the national orders of jurors and geneva. he served as human rights and can vote yet and the bioethics committee. he is suited perfectly for the leading role he played him in curries for human rights in north korea. following his

you know, and was the challenge to the credentials of hands ofen in the china taiwan that led to the soviet union being absent from the security council at the time of the crucial votes that was taken to respond to the korean south with the united nations force. the soviet union rushed back into the security council, but the motion had already been passed. when the security council became locked when the soviet union was returned, there was a famous uniting for peace resolution which follow later in that year when the general assembly asserted a power to do things as uniting for peace to maintain the united nations presence in the korean war. as to whether they would be wise or useful events, my answer is, in a sense that is not my responsibility. i have to be careful not to exceed my responsibility and authority. ,y responsibility was to report make findings and make recommendations, and leave it to the political branches as it should be left. the data that you have raised is something that will be considered in various quarters combat i don't think i would like to comment on it. it

is something i worry about when i read newspapers. china is trying to segregate their internet and germany is thinking about doing this. what effect would this have on the nsa possibility to collect information or, is such a thing even possible? >> this is beyond my expertise. i have a few thoughts. first, there are a lot more people in countries talking hyperbolically about their desire to cut off the global internet and keep all their data at home than are actually taking steps to do it or will possibly do so. you are cutting yourself off from the world and it is damaging. it is not practical. there are countries that say google, yahoo!, all of the data reduced by germans have to stay in german data storage and you cannot go anywhere else in the world. certainly not the u.s.. the fundamental structure of the internet does not allow that. there are countries like china or iran. orthat the extreme end, n korea. they want to cut themselves off from free debate and free information and are using the nsa as an excuse to strengthen that argument. it was possible, it would be cleaner. i

authoritarian governments, beginning with influential powers like russia and china, are striking out with particular ferocity against freedoms of expression, association, and the press. at the introduction to the report, you will find a section where we try to itemize and responded point by point to the arguments that secretary kerry and i and others here get when we travel around the world from government going after a civil society, which i hope you will find interesting. the trend obviously, disturbs us. it ought to disturb us, but i don't think it ought to surprise us. civil society has become a growing force around the world. so, if you are trying to steal an election or stay in office for life, or profit from corruption, that of course you will be threatened by ngo's and journalists to try to expose those abuses of power. in all these countries, there are people who base that kind of security in and just carry on with faith and determination and even good humor. secretary kerry and i meet people like that in all of our avels, from cuba to vietnam. and they always remind us, every ch
