Going to continue on with that tradition. We announced we are going to sponsor the 1980 president ial debate. A series of debates that will be held next september and october. The enthusiastic response of the public to the 1976 debate and to our current series provides evidence of the fact that americans will expect candidates to participate in facetoface debates next fall. Now, on with tonights event and our moderator, the distinguished howard k smith. Howard thank you. Good evening.

That afternoon, id like to welcome everyone to the joint hearing on the Armed Services committee and the Foreign Affairs subcommittee. On russian arms control cheating. This is the response one year later. Today are the following witnesses, under secretary of state for the department of security. Principal deputy under secretary of defense. This is an update to last years hearing with these witnesses and we are eager to learn what the administration has been doing since we met in open and closed sessions on this topic last december. Congress, as a promise last year, has, has not been sitting idle. Recently they begin the research and of all men of military responses to russias violation. Inf, which is of course not the only treaty they are violating. We learned during last years hearing that on eight of 12 treaties in agreement, russia is not in compliance or is an outright violation. Inf has earned a lot of attention. Are we less concerned about Russian Chemical weapons that can be us
To accommodate those measures. Well part of what i should underscore, mr. Chairman, from my Opening Statement is as we looked at the inf issue we were also confronting the broader russia challenge and how to respond to it, and didnt think it was appropriate to respond just specifically to the possibility of a new ground launch Cruise Missile in europe, but a broader challenge to european security. So many of the things i outlined are part of a response to broader russian behavior, including the inf violations. Thats my fear. Is that this set of responses that have been prepared a year ago for consideration are now going to get just blend in to the new challenges that we have to face. And were going to get no action on the violations of it the inf treaty. That is a longstanding violation that needs an appropriate response by this nation, and it should not be impeded or blended in to any other concerns that were having with russias new activity. Let me ask this. Miss gottemoeller is it i
Into place can it work. . And a syrian refugee who went from beginner to concert pianist in 18 months we begin with breaking news. We are getting reports that a palestinian has been killed by israeli fire in Southern Gaza. So palestinian sources say that one palestinian has been killed from israeli tank shells fired in east khan yunis in gaza. Well get you more on that. I know we are hoping to cross to our correspondent in jerusalem. More on that as we get it lets move on to other news much a black teenager has been shot and killed by police in the u. S. State of missouri. The incident happened in st louis the same city where unarmed teenage Michael Brown was killed by a white Police Officer in august. Back to gaza we are getting reports that a palestinian has been killed. Our correspondent imtiaz tyab is joins us from bethlehem. Imtiaz tyab what can you tell us about this .

Electricity generation already and we hope to build on the progress that is currently going on and frankly has been going on for years at the state and local level. States are already participating in their own market based programs to cut pollution. From carbon. I should make sure that everybody says when i mean carbon, it means more than 35 states have clean energy targets. More than 25 have already set Energy Efficiency goals and have cut their energy waste and over 1000 mayors across the country have signed agreements to cut Carbon Pollution. Clearly, states and local communities are doing their jobs as incubators of innovation leading the way to cleaner, more affordable, more sustainable energy. Fighting Climate Change makes Good Business sense. Thats worth repeating. Climate change just makes Good Business sense. As the president has pointed out, more than 500 businesses, including gm and nike, called this and i quote, one of the greatest opportunities of the 21st century. So we
