Mr. Stone is the reason i am here now. I did not think i could make it at first, and he persuaded me to leave in the middle of finals week to be with you here today. [laughter] happen. It mr. Stone, im glad to say, you were right. When i heard i was going to have to come up here and actually say something, im not going to lie, i had no frame of reference to approach this. On some level, i still dont. To be here, among people who have done far more for the cause then i have is terribly humbling. Why me . When arthur sat me down and said i had been given this award, i did not think i have done anything to do it. Im used to speaking my mind, and they w
And we had for fruit. I have received a very, its helpful offer from one israel and other topic of our task that we talked of our conversation was the piece masses in the middle east. And thats why should we know that a sustainable solution can only be found in a solution of 2 states and both sides have to negotiate that in order to avoid 2 of them escalations in the future, it is important that we feel progress in this a little bit admittedly very difficult process and what also have to improve the situations for palestinians and them from them we call to bottle science, to refrain from unilateral actions, the demand of them to which the palestinian leadership is clearer. If they have to do, they are side for the construction of a piece falls off on country. And of course, we also hope that israel will not create to fact unilaterally. And the 3rd topic was the new clara deal with iran, with israel. We agree that iran must never have Nuclear Weapons in order to make this happen, we nee

Night in damascus. Nearly the skyline was rocked by explosions in ways they hadnt seen for quite a while. Also around homes, too. Bashar al assad keen to be seen on the syrian presidency twitter account in a video just sort of saunterring into work over a clean marble floor, carrying a briefcase like he had a nice nights sleep and ready to address the days business. People will be assessing as to whether or not the damage done to the regime is enough to make them rethink their calculus about using chemical weapons. One slight note of caution in this region, the rule of unintended consequences. President trump has used the immortal phrase mission accomplished. George w. Bush unfurled that banner behind him on an aircraft carrier. The u. S. Was in iraq for 15 years and is still there now. We dont know the end of this story yet but last night was limited in what it did. Lasted 70 minutes, targeted just a small number of facilities. Aimed to send a message.

America steps up and enforces them. Its nice as you saw in that graphic when our friends come next to us theresa may, that zone from france but ultimately this is about american leadership. No one else is going to enforce this. No one else is going to do what n
