And by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. Thank you. With russia grabbing crimea and western leaders traveling to determine how to respond, International Policy once again comes into focus. At theector on strategy Brookings Institution has written a timely new text that looks into americas role as a Coalition Builder entitled still ours to leave. Jones also holds major appointments at stanford and in why you. Good to have you on this program. What a timely text this is indeed. The conversation too much, your thoughts on what we see happening in crimea. This is a critical test for American Leadership and for the west. You use a key phase about Coalition Building. There are certain things the United States can do by themselves about crimea, but its in a much stronger position if we can galvanize the western alliance, if we can galvanize the europeans and keep the chinese and indian from into support of of russia in this context.

Procurement side from Small Businesses. And i do want you to note that actually the mayor has asked naomi kelly in the office of Contract Administration excuse me, not office of Contract Administration, office of contract management division.

So, the mayor is actively engaged in looking at what can be done to improve and increase our local businesses getting contracts. And then the other two item that were discussed were the minimum wage, as that item was introduced the previous week, and then, of course, the Health Care Security ordinance. And while this will still be for some businesses a bit of a challenge to be able to meet these mandates, there was definitely appreciation for the mayor for stepping in and, you know, bringing forth measures that were the best at this particular point in time that could be done, and that, that were not taking a look at, especially for

Talking very specifically about immigration at the president ial library in college station. The other news that came out as the lead editorial in the New York Times on sunday was the fact that the Obama Administration has now surpassed the mark of 2 million deportations to perhaps get tough and ameliorate concerns rom the right.

I am not comfortable with the number o
