And the holy spirit. Today we especially remember saints armagen, patriarch of moscow all russia. Yes, indeed, saint armagen left a very special mark on the history of our church, our people. Our country, because his feat was a high priesthood, which is always associated with enormous difficulties and spiritual challenges, it was also complicated in a special way by the historical time in which saint hermagen carried out his ministry. This time. And one can imagine what a heaviness was on the heart of saint hermogenes, how many fervent prayers there must have been. When they tried to force him to betrayal with hunger and cold, as well as with promises, but the saint turned out to be superior to everyone who persuaded him to commit betrayal, he spiritually turned out to be stronger than all this enemy force that entered the very heart of our country, one old patriarch. On which it depended will be to exist as an independent country, will it be able to throw off the occupiers, or volunta
They often cant do that. What often happens is the president acts through history, the president has acted and Congress Even where many of them may disagree with his use of power have been unable to muster the political will to check him. That creates a precedent for future action. A recent example of that is libya. In libya, we were involved in 2011 in bottoming libya. Many congress spoke out against that. The president was in violation of his war powers but no action evolved to curb his activity in that case. What weve seen over time is power evolving toward the president. This doesnt mean that the congress is no longer important at all in in area. They still have a significant role to play primarily flowing from the idea that they are the orally the branch of our government that is supposed to declare war. We dont declare war anymore. Thats become obsolete since the 1940s but we have modern day equivalents of that. Theres still a role for congress in determining when we use force. T
Is a country with unrivalled skills and creativeness, a country with such good humor and such great compassion. And i am convinced that if we draw on all of this, then we can take these islands, with our proud history, and build an even prouder future. Together, we can make Great Britain greater still. Thank you. [applause] [applause] [applause] ed miliband thank you for your kindness, friends. Friends, this is not the speech i wanted to give today because i believe that britain needed a labour government. I still do, but the public voted otherwise last night. Earlier earlier today i rang David Cameron to congratulate him. I take absolute and total responsibility for the result and our defeat at this election. I am so sorry for all of those colleagues who lost their seats. Ed balls, jim murphy, margaret curran, douglas alexander, and all the mps and indeed candidates who were defeated. They are friends, colleagues and standard bearers for our party. They always have been, and they alwa
[applause] mr. President , president of the german bundestag madam chancellor, president of the federal constitutional court, members of the german bundestag, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, in the whole of german history there is no greater watershed within the 70th anniversary we are remembering today, the 8th of may 1945. It marks the end of world war ii in europe, collapse of the nazi regime, which had unleashed that war, and the end of the german reich. For 12 years, the nazis had fervently evoked German National unity. As the regime ended, it would not be clear if the germans would ever live in a unified country again. In an historic speech marking the anniversary of the german reichs Unconditional Surrender, the federal president of the day warned the german people not to separate the 8th of may 1945 from the 1st of january, 1933, the day when reich president hindenburg appointed hitler as chancellor. He argued that the 8th of may 1945 should however be recognized as the end
