And graphics and presentations. Perhaps you feel as i do, every time we have not won a Pulitzer Prize is a great injustice. Apparently you do. But we know the truth and the truth no matter how much or organizations and journalist cawe covet this and should be heartened by the experts we see in the finalist. Amid this year of celebrations, it is worth reflecting that the pulitzers represents standards. High standards in an era where we have seen standards erode or under frontal assault. When we see distortion and disception and lazy reporting, the pulitzers remind us week take a different route. In pointing us in that direction, the value of the pulitzer is greater than it has ever been. Today we have two sessions that will allow us to do what the pulitzers sask us to do; dig deep. The second is an interview by eugene robison. Winner for columns during a historic election. The first panel will address the oba administration. Joel becker will joe becker will be the questioning person. He
Least. Foreign secretary, quizzing you . Thank you rngs foreign secretary. Do you agree that peace keepers will be needed in libya . And, if so, has the u. N. Government made any commitments . We havent made any commitments. Weve discussed on friday and saturday. I think we recognized in discussing this European Union that there would be a strong expectation that the European Union would take the lead in providing peace keepers. That is not to say a military force to subdue the warring factions. But more of the policing force to maine tan a peace that had been established. Libya is very much a step in business with roots through to the gulf of guinea, which is the source of many of these things. Its very much in europes interest to help to secure libya and ensure that the soit earn coast of the mediterranean is properly policed all the way along. So clearly theres some steps in the Peace Keeping force. All im saying is that i think there is a recognition across the European Union that
Hypnotic state where the people with guns are basically running the country are going bankrupt. I think there is calls for some moderate optimism. But i wouldnt put it any higher than that. I dont think to be an expert on libya. But those who are tell me that the principle protagonists. If people are really fighting over territory and money and oil. It is easier to find solutions which divide the riches. And this is a rich country. So i would be moderately optimistic, but no more than that. Cautiously optimistic but there could be a chance of the government of national unity. I do think that the presence of isil in the country, the inevitability that there will be continued intervention that is able to deal with the problem itself. I do think those are helpful points of oppression on the sides of the civil war to think very hard about whether its in their collective best interests to try and resolve their differences and work together. Foreign secretary, can we turn to iran and the Nuc
Star wars knowledge, darth vader voice included. Do you like green eggs and ham . I do not like them, sam i am, i do not like green eggs and ham. Would you, could you, in a car . Eat them, eat them, here they are. I do not like them here or there, i do not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I am your father. That was a darth vader voice. He was speaking to senator mike lee there. All right. So as weve been seeing, though, with marco rubio on the floor, cruz has been getting some backup. Getting it now and also got it through the night from some republican colleagues. But because this wont result in the death of the bill, this technically as i said before, not a filibuster. So are they fighting the good fight or fighting a losing battle . Instead of focusing on what politically makes sense, which is these democrats who now are going to have to cast a vote again for the worst piece of legislation that ive seen in my 20 years here, all the focus is on ted cruz. I think
Good morning. We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine senators. I think, senator grassley, we can get going. First off i want to thank senator paul for having a filibuster which kept everybody still in town so we can have a quorom to talk about guns that may not have been his number one reason for doing it, but we take ancillary benefits wherever they come from. Last week we all had the opportunity to talk about legislation before the Committee Regarding gun violence in america. We gave our speeches. And i hope we could make significant progress. Earlier this week i was joined by senator collins, senator durbin, gillibrand, and senator kirk in the introduction revised legislation to combat the straw purchasing and trafficking of firearms. Others have joined us in that bill including senator clow chew char, senator king, and ill plan when we get on it ill offer a substitute we find the provisions with the text of the leahycollins bill. I reach out to the senators, t
