Issues as well. Let me close by making a final point. Diplomacy between the United States and russia continues. Weve emphasized that russia still has a different path available, one that dees calates the situation and one that involves russia pursuing a diplomatic solution with the government in kive with the support of the international community. Mr. Putin needs to understand the ukraineans shouldnt have to choose between the west and russia. We want the ukranian people to determine their own destiny and to have good relations with the United States, with russia and europe, with anyone they choose. That can only happen if russia also recognize the rights of all the ukranian people to determine their future as free individuals nation, vovepbsovepb rights that people around the world understand and support. Thank you very much everybody. President obama announcing expanded sanctions against moscow for their an exexation of crimea. Were going to take you live to the Heritage Foundation.
Lacking . And let the record reflect, not quite i roll but i think the response was no, they have not found this to be pro forma in anyway. Ive been on this job now getting on towards five years, and i have done nothing about my interaction or our institutional interaction with the intelligence committees to be pro forma. They have fairly substantial staffs which have a lot of experience. Some of them come from the community. They know that they dig very deeply into what we do. The dni occasionally using the term wire brushing, the interaction we have with the committee. So its not a pro forma interaction in anyway. On programs like 702 that were talking about today, for example, we all lived through the reauthorization of section 702 in 2012. That process was not simply in connection with intelligence committees, but i can remember briefings where we would go up, for all member briefings being held in communities, committees would host before the congress. I dont want to leave the imp
Were going to start with the science here. Cnn meteorologist chad myers joining us on this topic. Brianna, it seems like what this says, breaking it down piece by piece, is that there will be fewer normal days. Our heat will be higher, our floods will be deeper, and our droughts will be longer. In any one spot. So when you see high of 72, thats normal. Were not going to see normal days. Were going to see flooding, were going to see droughts, heat. Not 72, it could be 92 or 62. Eventually you get to normal. But there will be fewer normal days. Across the northeast, well see increased coast ag floodings, and down to the south, same story. That kind of coastal flooding. Water issues, fresh water issues, because were in the middle of droughts across the southeast that dont seem to be going away. You put more people in the way of those droutsz, you need more water. The midwest could see a bigger growing season. That could be one positive. If you have a drought, flood, or heat wave during th
Dramatic word pretty much of a surprise, out of the blue, all of a sudden, the North Koreans allow a u. S. Plane to come to pyongyang, pick up this american and fly him out on his way to guam right now. Tell our viewers in the United States and around the world what we know. Reporter well, wolf, its certainly surprising timing. Its 2 00 a. M. In the morning here in south and north korea. So just a few hours ago, we understand, that a u. S. Plane did go and pick up Jeffrey Fowle, this american tourist who was arrested a number of months ago this year when he was accused of leaving that bible in a place where he was staying. Now, he had been accused of hostile acts against the regime, certainly any unstate sponsored religious activities are banned in north korea and are come down on very heavily. Weve seen it with at least one other american citizen as well in kenneth bae. Theres a diplomatic flurry of activity against north korea. The foreign minister has been traveling around the world
