Storm does go offshore. Good afternoon, this is al Jazeera America. Im jonathan betz. Syrias deputy Prime Minister has told the world air strikes are not enough to defeat isil if there is no cooperation with his countrys army. He spoke at the United Nations today and called russias air strikes in syria effective because they support the countrys efforts to fight what he calls terrorism. Translator you know better than anyone else that terrorism is an ideology that recognizes no boundaries. You know that when this monster comes out, it cannot be limited to certain countries. The terrorism of isis, aln alnuz alnusra and other organizations is killing. What else did he have to say . That syria is a land baptized in the blood of its people. This is the world view of the assad regime, not the world view of the syrian people. He doesnt talk about the secret police or take any responsibility for the assad regime. He does talk about the fate of syria is in syrias hands and the hands of syrians
Legal regime of france does not allow him the tools he needs to fight the war against the jihadists terrorists. He says the legal regime just isnt adapted for what we need at this point. Thats likely to be controversy. Second thing that was news is hes announced hes moving the aircraft castier charles degal to the middle east. He says that will triple the countrys capabilities in its efforts to fight isis with air strikings in syria. Hes going to extend the state of emergency for three months. Or at least hed like to with the permission of parliament. He would like to do that before the end of the week. He also wants to be able to increase the amount of surveillance that is done on individuals who are identified wi within intelligence reports. This is an incredibly rare thing to happen, for the president of france to address both houses of parliament at versailles. The only previous time was by Nicolas Sarkozy in 2009 in the financial crisis. The reason it was so rare is it used to be
Its infancy in terms of understanding, but it gives you the breadth of the impact Climate Change can have on our lives and particularly on tribal nations. In terms of what were doing concerning some of the steps were taking on the Climate Action plan that the president developed is i think as you all know and secretary jewell mentioned is weve moved forward with the Clean Power Plan which is our plan to regulate Carbon Pollution from our live resources which are our power plants. We have had consultation with our tribes well in advance of any rule. Its been an outreach effort we have undertaking that is, i think, as large as the issue that were trying to tackle. And we look forward to continuing those conversations because in the end what we realize is that one of the Biggest Challenges we face with climate is either too much water or too little water. And the joy i have when i come to tribal meetings is to have you focus so heavily on water issues, because in many other areas they thi

We have not ventured into any social stuff or into too much Foreign Policy type things, so nothing on islam currently. Any thoughts on why so many wealthy entrepreneurs are liberal . I do not know.

Ee that with h six months ago we were cheering them, but they have totally made the turn to go a political entrepreneur. After they go into these cities, they start to cut deals with local governments where they make regulations, and if they them,ford to adhere to you see a lot of these may starturs, they out one way, but they are in it for their business first and foremost.

We need to expand our opportunities and Economic Development. That is one reason why we announced 20,000 to encourage organizations to do a better job of working with tribal leaders to get the word out of various programs. A program is mentioned about waiving fees on small loans. We decided to create a small loan, and micro loan, program for agricultural reducers. Up to 50,000, low interest rate, low security. We need to make sure folks are aware of them. The 2501 program is one way of doing that. We had a conference recently which was another opportunity us to get out the word. That was a very good comment. We need to get more outreach. Our time is up. Like i said in my opening comments, there is never a Marshall Plan for Indian Country.
