North Korea has slammed the United States for deploying its B-1B strategic bombers to
South Korea five times last month,... saying Washington is pushing the peninsula to the
brink of war with its military drills.
The regime's state-run Korean Central News Agency said Saturday that the drills were
sorties in preparation for a surprise attack on the North.
The U.S. Forces Korea made public a joint exercise involving one B-1B on March 22nd,
but it wouldn't confirm if there had been more.
However,... a source within South Korea's defense ministry has confirmed the U.S. did
have B-1Bs make five flyovers during the past fortnight.
Experts believe the U.S. is deploying its strategic weaponry to send a strong message
to North Korea that it must halt its provocations.

U.S. sanctions N. Korean firm, 11 individuals with ties to nuke program - Duration: 1:39.
The U.S. government has announced a fresh set of sanctions on eleven North Korean individuals
and one entity in response to North Korea's "ongoing development of weapons of mass destruction."
Nearly all of the eleven North Korean agents are said to operate in other countries.
Kim Hyun-bin reports.
The Trump administration has slapped fresh sanctions on a North Korean business and eleven
other North Korean nationals with ties to the regime's nuclear program and the financial
networks that support it.
A statement released by U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Friday said the sanctions
aim to disrupt networks and methods that fund Pyongyang's nuclear, ballistic missile and
proliferation programs.
The U.S. Treasury Department says North Korea-based trading corporation Paeksol exports iron ore
to China which benefits the regime and has possible ties to the North Korean military.
The department added that the eleven people who were sanctioned work as North Korean agents
in Russia, China, Vietnam and Cuba.
The sanctions prohibit U.S. companies from dealing with the entities and freeze any assets
held in American banks.
The Trump administration has vowed to take a tougher stance against the regime after
years of failed attempts to denuclearize North Korea.
U.S. officials believe North Korea will continue to conduct nuclear tests with an eye to mastering
the technology required to tip a long-range missile with a warhead.
Pyongyang is already heavily sanctioned by the U.S.,... but experts say Washington needs
China's help to deter North Korea.
President Trump is expected to discuss North Korea issues with his Chinese counterpart
Xi Jinping in Florida next week.

South Korea-U.S. FTA removes non-tariff barriers to key U.S. exports: USTR - Duration: 0:59.
The U.S. trade representative has issued a glowing assessment of the free trade deal
between South Korea and the United States.
It says the FTA has created substantial new opportunities for American exporters and has
helped dismantle barriers to autos and other key U.S. exports.
In its annual report on foreign trade barriers, released on Friday,... the USTR said the FTA
provides meaningful market access commitments across virtually all major services sectors.
It added that,... since entering into force in early 2012, a number of U.S. farm exports
to Korea have recorded double- and even triple-digit gains, although compared to pre-FTA levels,
overall U.S. agricultural goods exports to Korea are down by around eleven percent.
The mostly positive report comes at a good time for Seoul as President Trump has talked
about renegotiating or even scrapping what he's labeled "job-killing" trade deals.

The Lessons Athletics Teach Us - Duration: 2:33.
When people think about high school sports the "Gold Ball" often gets referred to
- the epitome of a high school athlete: being a State Champion or maybe it is getting to
that next level and becoming a college athlete.
And while both of these are something to strive for and a goal we have as an athletic
program at LuHi - we recognize there is so much more to athletics and high school sports
than a trophy, ring, or scholarship.
There have been times in my life where I've wanted to walk away from sports entirely,
times where I've felt like I watched sports seem to do more harm than good; but every
time I think about walking away I quickly realize that I wouldn't be who I am today
without sports.
Like anything in life, sin screws up sports at times too but the positives of athletics
- give back throughout life.
Even as a successful high school athlete I didn't ever hoist that final trophy.
But, even without the ultimate success, I firmly believe being a high school athlete
was extremely significant for the rest of my life.
Being a teacher, I believe lessons learned in the classroom are important, but the lessons
athletics taught me have had a greater influence on my character than anything else.
And, along with my faith in Jesus Christ, sports has given me the strength to get through
things I didn't think I could.
So here are just a few lessons I've learned from sports that have developed my character
and that we strive to develop in our student athletes at LuHi:
Hard work Perseverance
Time management Self-discipline
How to handle stress and pressure Teamwork
How to overcome adversity Setbacks happen
How to control our emotions Success requires hard work and sacrifice
And most importantly, sports and life are not fair God is good
LuHi athletics supports the mission of the school by committing to Christian Character
Development of our student athletes.
And these traits equip students to be successful athletes and people.
I know there are other venues where these life lessons and character development can
take place but for me, it was on the court or field and I can't think of many better
places to learn these tough lessons - especially at a place like LuHi where you are surrounded
by coaches and teammates who can continually point us back to the cross . . . where all
of this now takes on a different meaning because we already have victory, eternal victory in
Christ alone.

>> Chris: THIS WEEK ON
"JERUSALEM DATELINE," THE
LARGEST PRO-ISRAEL GROUP
CELEBRATES A NEW
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
WASHINGTON AND JERUSALEM.
>> FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
MANY YEARS, PERHAPS EVEN
MANY DECADES, THERE IS NO
DAYLIGHT BETWEEN OUR TWO
GOVERNMENTS.
>> Chris: SEE HOW THIS
U.N. BODY SPENDS A LOT OF
ITS TIME CONDEMNING THE
JEWISH STATE.
>>> AND TAKE A TRIP ON THE
GOSPEL TRAIL AND SEE THE
PLACES WHERE JESUS WALKED.
>>> HELLO, AND WELCOME TO
THIS EDITION OF "JERUSALEM
DATELINE."
I'M CHRIS MITCHELL.
COMING TO YOU THIS WEEK
FROM JUST ACROSS THE
VALLEY OF OLD JERUSALEM'S
LAWS.
NEARLY 20,000 PRO-ISRAEL
SUPPORTERS GATHERED AT THE
ANNUAL AMERICAN-ISRAEL
PUBLIC FA AFFAIRS MEETING.
HERE IS CBN NEWS' AMBER C.
STRONG.
>> THEY CAME IN SUPPORT OF
THE JEWISH STATE, TO
CELEBRATE CULTURE, DISCUSS
THE LATEST IN ISRAELI
TECHNOLOGY, BUT MOSTLY
THEY CAME TO TALK POLICY.
EACH YEAR 18,000 PEOPLE
DESCEND UPON APAC POLICY
CONFERENCE.
AND AT THIS YEAR'S
CONFERENCE, ONE MESSAGE
SEEMED TO RESONATE:
REBUILDING THAT
RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL.
>> FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
MANY YEARS, PERHAPS EVEN
MANY DECADES, THERE IS NO
DAYLIGHT BETWEEN OUR TWO
GOVERNMENTS.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Reporter: LAST YEAR A
THEN CANDIDATE TRUMP
IMPRESSED THE CROWDS WITH
A SCATHING DESCRIPTION OF
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL.
>> President Trump: HE
MAY BE THE WORST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO
ISRAEL.
>> Reporter: APAC
PRESIDENT LILLIAN PINCUS
WAS QUIT TO REMIND THE
MEDIA OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
A BIPARTISAN CONFERENCE.
ALL EYES WERE ON VICE
PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE.
>> IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK
TO APAC.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A
LONG TIME, AMERICA HAS A
PRESIDENT WHO WILL STAND
WITH OUR ALLIES AND STAND
UP TO OUR ENEMIES.
THE UNITED STATES WILL NO
LONGER ALLOW THE UNITED
NATIONS TO BE USED AS A
FORUM FOR A WAY AGAINST
ISRAEL OR THE WEST.
>> Reporter: BEYOND
STRENGTHENING THAT BOND
BETWEEN THE U.S. AND
ISRAEL, ANOTHER TOPIC
LUMED AT THE CONFERENCE:
IRAN.
>> BOTH OUR GOVERNMENTS
RECOGNIZE THAT FOREMOST
AMONG THOSE CHALLENGES
REMAINS IRAN.
WE BOTH RECOGNIZE THAT THE
NUCLEAR DEAL DOES NOT
BLOCK IRAN'S PATH TO A
BOMB.
>> Reporter: NATALI
BENNETT, ISRAEL'S MINISTER
OF EDUCATION, TOLD CBN
NEWS THE TIME TO ACT IS
NOW.
>> WE'VE GOT AN IRAN WHO
HAS A GOAL TO CREATE A
GLOBAL HEGAMONY OVER THE
ENTIRE REGION.
WE CANNOT ALLOW IRAN TO
THREATEN THE FREE WORLD
WITH NUCLEAR BOOMS.
BOMBS.
WE HAVE TO STOP THEM.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS IT
IS A CHALLENGE THAT THE
TWO ALLIES CAN MEET.
>> WE HAVE TO STOP THAT
PATH.
AND THERE ARE A FEW WAYS
WE CAN DO IT, AND WE'RE
WORKING ON IT TOGETHER
WITH THE UNITED STATES.
>> Reporter: TONY BLAIR
AGREES THAT IT IS TIME FOR
THE WEST TO PUSH BACK
AGAINST IRAN.
>> STAND UP.
BE FIRM.
AND MAKE SURE THAT --
[APPLAUSE]
>> -- IT'S A VERY SIMPLE
THING.
IF YOU HAD A BENIGN REGIME
IN IRAN, ALL OF THE
PROBLEMS OF THE MIDDLE
EAST WOULD BE EASIER TO
RESOLVE.
>> Chris: THE U.S.
SENATE CONFIRMED DAVID
FRIEDMAN AS THE U.S.
AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SENT A
VIDEO CONGRATULATING
FRIEDMAN.
IT IS ONE MORE SIGN OF THE
GROWING COOPERATION
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND ISRAEL.
HERE IS WAS NETANYAHU HAD
TO SAY ABOUT THE PROSPECTS
FOR PEACE.
>> ISRAEL IS COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP TO ADVANCE PEACE
WITH THE PALESTINIANS AND
WITH ALL OUR NEIGHBORS.
I BELIEVE THAT THE COMMON
DANGERS FACED BY ISRAEL
AND MANY OF OUR ARAB
NEIGHBORS NOW OFFER A RARE
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD
BRIDGES TOWARDS A BETTER
FUTURE, A FUTURE MORE
PROSPEROUS, MORE SECURE,
MORE PEACEFUL.
>> Chris: THE
ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN
CONFLICT IS LIKELY TO
CONSUME A LOT OF TIME OF
NETANYAHU AND THE NEW U.S.
AMBASSADOR.
BUT ONE STICKING POINT IS
THE CONTINUED PALESTINIAN
TERRORISM INSIDE ISRAEL,
BUT WHAT IS TO BLAME?
SOME PALESTINIANS BLAME IT
ON THEIR ANGER OVER THE
CONTENTION THEY'RE LIVING
UNDER ISRAELI OCCUPATION.
BUT IN THIS EXCLUSIVE
REPORT, SOME PALESTINIANS
BLAME IT ON HOPELESSNESS
AND DISPAIR.
CORRUPTION IN THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
COULD BE DRIVING YOUNG
PALESTINIANS TO CARRY OUT
TERROR ATTACKS.
>> IN GENERAL, PEOPLE ARE
NOT FEELING SAFE.
IF ANYBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT
SOMEONE WHO BELONGS TO
FATAH OR THE PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY, OR AGAINST
SOMEBODY WHO IS RELATED TO
SOMEONE IN THE PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY, THE POLICE
REJECT THE COMPLAINT.
>> Chris: AHMED IS ONE
OF SOME TWO MILLION ARABS
LIVING UNDER P.A. CONTROL
IN THE WEST BANK.
WE HAVE HIDDEN HIS
IDENTITY FOR HIS
PROTECTION.
>> EVEN IF SOMEBODY HAS
BEEN ASSAULTED BY SOMEONE
WHO BELONGS TO THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY AND
COMPLAINS, THEY FORCE HIM
TO BACK DOWN, OR HE IS
THREATENED WITH DEATH OR
JAIL.
>> Chris: THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
GOVERNMENT IS IN RAMALLAH.
SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT IN
THE MID-'90s, THE U.S.
HAS COMMITTED ABOUT
$5 BILLION INSISTENCE.
THAT WOULD MAKE
PALESTINIANS AMONG THE
WORLD'S LARGEST RECIPIENTS
OF FOREIGN AID.
>> SOMETIMES I BELIEVE
THAT THE REFERLUTIONNARY
COUNCIL ITHE REVOLUTIONARYCOUNCIL IS THE C OUNCIL OF
CORRUPTION.
>> Chris: THE
PALESTINIAN PRIME MINISTER
RAMIHAMDALI SAYS THERE IS
NO CORRUPTION IN THE P.A.
>> THESE PEOPLE WILL BE
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE, IF
THERE IS ANY CORRUPTION.
IF ANYONE COMMITS ANY OF
THESE ISSUES, ACTUALLY, HE
OR SHE WILL BE BROUGHT TO
JUSTICE.
>> Chris: ACCORDING TO A
SURVEY LAST YEAR, MORE
THAN 95% OF PALESTINIANS
SEE THEIR GOVERNMENT AS
CORRUPT.
>> PEOPLE CAN SEE
EVERYTHING.
>> EVERYBODY KNOWS ONCE
YOU COMPLAIN, YOU ARE
PUTTING YOUR LIFE IN
DANGER.
AND THE POLICY OF THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IS
IF A PERSON HAS A PROBLEM
WITH AN OFFICIAL, IF THIS
OFFICIAL ASKS HIM FOR A
BRIBE, THAT PERSON HAS TO
PAY, EVEN IF HE HAS
NOTHING.
THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
AND THE SECURITY SERVICES
COME AGAINST HIM, AND
NOBODY WILL PROTECT HIM.
>> Chris: PRESIDENT
TRUMP SAYS HE WANTS A
PEACE DEAL BETWEEN ISRAEL
AND THE PALESTINIANS, BUT
AKMED SAYS LACK OF PEACE
ISN'T THE PROBLEM.
>> I WANT THE WEST AND THE
UNITED NATIONS TO
ESTABLISH AN INQUIRY
DELEGATION, AN HONEST ONE,
TO INQUIRE INTO ALL OF
THOSE CRIMES THAT ARE PERO
PERPETRATED BY
PALESTINIANS.
I'M SURE HUNDREDS OF THOSE
GUILTY PEOPLE WILL BE PUT
IN PRISON.
>> Chris: AHMED WANTS
THE WEST AND THE UNITED
NATIONS TO PRESSURE THE
P.A. TO BECOME AN HONEST
GOVERNMENT.
UNTIL THEN, HE SAYS, THERE
WILL BE NO STATE AND
TERRORISM WILL CONTINUE.
>> Chris: COMING UP,
FIND OUT ABOUT THE U.N.
GROUP WHERE THE JEWISH
STATE DOESN'T SEEM TO GET
>> Chris: WELCOME BACK
TO "JERUSALEM DATELINE."
BEHIND ME YOU CAN SEE THE
RED ROADS OF YEMEN HASHI,
BUILT OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF
THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM.
THE UNITED NATIONS HAS A
REPUTATION FOR BASHING THE
JEWISH STATE, BUT THE NEW
U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE
U.N., NIKKI HALEY, TOLD
APAC THAT THE DAYS OF
ISRAEL BASHING ARE OVER.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF
THREATS TO PEACE AND
SECURITY, BUT YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO TAKE OUR NUMBER
ONE DE DEMOCRATIC FRIEND IN
THE MIDDLE EAST AND BEAT
UP ON THEM.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING
IS THEY'RE ALL BACKING UP
A LITTLE BIT.
THE ISRAEL BASHING IS NOT
AS LOUD.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I MEANT, OUTSIDE OF
GIVING THE SPEECH, SO WE
SHOWED THEM.
SO WHEN THEY DECIDED TO
TRY TO PUT A PALESTINIAN
IN ONE OF THE HIGHEST
POSITIONS THAT HAD EVER
BEEN GIVEN AT THE U.N., WE
SAID NO, AND WE HAD HIM
BOOTED OUT.
SO FOR ANYONE THAT SAYS
YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING
DONE AT THE U.N., THEY
NEED TO KNOW THERE IS A
NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN.
[APPLAUSE]
>> Chris: THE U.N.-WATCH
HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE U.N.
BIAS AGAINST THE JEWISH
STATE FOR YEARS IN THE
GENEVA-BASED HUMAN RIGHTS
COUNCILMENT HERE ICOUNCIL.
HERE IS A VIDEO DELIVERING
THE STUNNING REBUKE HE
DELIVERED ON ISRAEL'S
BEHALF.
>> THEY HAVE USED THE
WORST KIND OF ABUSE, AND
IMPOSING A REGIME OF
APARTHEID.
>> THEY CONTINUE TO
EXERCISE APARTHEID IN
PALESTINIAN, WHICH
CONSTITUTES VIOLENCE AND
TERROR AGAINST THE
PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.
>> THESE VIOLATIONS
INCLUDE THE BUILDING OF
APARTHEID ROAD TO
LEGITIMIZE THE LAND AND IN TO
INCLUDE ISRAEL.
>> ISRAEL PRACTICES
DISCRIMINATION, AS WELL AS
EXTREMISM.
>> THE UNITED NATIONS
WATCH HAS THE FLOOR.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, LET ME
BEGIN BY PUTTING THE
FOLLOWING ON THE RECORD.
EVERYTHING WE JUST HEARD
FROM THE WORLD'S WORST
ABUSERS OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS,
OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION, OF
THE PRESS, OF ASSEMBLY, OF
SPEECH, IS ABSOLUTELY
FALSE AND INDEED ORWELION.
THE AGENDA ITEM AGAINST
ISRAEL COMPLETELY IGNORES
THEY'RE HUMAN RIGHTS.
OVER THE WEEKEND,
PRESIDENT ABBAS ANNOUNCED
HE WAS GIVING HIS HIGHEST
MEDAL TO A MAN IN A
BEIRUT-BASED AGENCY OF 18
ARAB STATES, AFTER GENERAL
GUTERREZ RIGHTLY
INSTRUCTED HER TO REMOVE
THE REPORT THAT A ACCUSED
APARTHEID.
WHY IS HE CELEBRATING A
REPORT AFTER HIS ONLY
COMMISSION TRIED TO REMOVE
MR. FAULK?
THE ACCUSATION AGAINST
ISRAEL IS ABSURD.
ISRAEL'S 1.5 MILLION
ARABS --
>> MORE THAN ONE STATEMENT
USED INACCEPTABLE TERMS,
AND SO WE WOULD LIKE THIS
TO BE STOPPED.
AND WE CALL FOR RESPECT OF
OUR POSITIONS WITHIN THE
UNITED COUNCIL.
>> NOW, THE PREVIOUS
SPEAKER CAN CONTINUE.
>> THANK YOU,
MR. PRESIDENT.
ISRAEL'S 1.5 MILLION
ARABS -- WHATEVER
CHALLENGES THEY FACE,
ENJOY FULL RIGHTS TO
VOTES, THEY WORK AS
DOCTORS AND LAWYERS, AND
THEY SERVE ON THE SUPREME
COURT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT
COMMISSION, EGYPT, IRAQ,
AND THE OTHERS, HOW MANY
JEWS LIVE IN YOUR
COUNTRIES?
HOW MANY JEWS LIVED IN
EGYPT, ALGERIA, WHERE ARE
YOUR JEWS?
EGYPT USED TO HAVE 75,000
JEWS -- WHERE ARE YOUR
JEWS.
SYRIA, YOU HAD TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF JEWS, WHERE
ARE YOUR JEWS?
MR. PRESIDENT, WHERE IS
THE REAL APARTHEID.
WHY IS THERE A U.N.
COMMISSION THAT DOES NOT
INCLUDE ISRAEL.
WHERE IS THE APARTHEID,
MR. PRESIDENT.
MR. PRESIDENT, WHY ARE WE
MEETING ON AN AGENDA ITEM,
SINGLING OUT ONLY ONE
STATE, THE JEWISH STATE,
FOR APARTHEID?
WHERE IS THE APARTHEID,
MR. PRESIDENT?
>> Chris: EARLIER, WE
TALKED WITH HIM IN OUR
JERUSALEM STUDIO ABOUT THE
BATTLE HE FACES AT THE
U.N.
>> EVERY TIME I LOCK INTO
THE U.N. HUMAN RIGHTS
COUNCIL -- ELEANOR
ROOSEVELT WAS THE FOUNDING
CHAIR ON THE U.N.
COMMISSION OF HUMANITARIAN
RIGHTS, AND TO SEE TODAY
HAVING MEMBERS LIKE CHINA,
RUSSIA, CUBA, PAKISTAN,
AND VENEZUELA, IT IS
OUTRAGEOUS.
EVERY TIME I WALK IN
THERE, I REMIND MYSELF
THAT I'M WALKING INTO AN
ORWELION NEWS.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M THE
MOST HATED MAN IN GENEVA.
>> Chris: CAN YOU
DESCRIBE WHAT TYPE OF
TREATMENT THAT ISRAEL GETS
IN THE UNITED NATIONS?
>> ISRAEL GETS A TREATMENT
THAT NO OTHER COUNTRY
GETS.
AT EVERY SESSION OF THE
HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL,
THERE IS A DAY ON ISRAEL,
JUST LIKE A DAY ON HUMAN
RIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD,
AND ONE DAY JUST FOR
ISRAEL.
A SPECIAL AGENDA ONLY TO
CRITICIZE SO-CALLED
ISRAELI VIOLATIONS.
THERE IS NO AGENDA ITEM
FOR DARFUR OR SUDAN OR IN
SYRIA, NOR ON NORTH KOREA,
ONE OF THE MOST HORRIFIC
PLACES ON THE PLANET FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS.
ONLY ISRAEL GETS ITS ONLY
AGENDA ITEM.
AND ISRAEL IS CONDEMNED IN
HALF OF THE RESOLUTIONS AT
THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL.
THE EXPERTS ON ISRAEL
LOOKS ONLY AT ISRAELI
VIOLATIONS, AND WON'T LOOK
AT ANY PALESTINIAN
ACTIONS.
SO IF THERE IS, GOD
FORBID, A SUICIDE BOMBING
IN ISRAEL, THE EXPERT WILL
CRITICIZE ISRAEL'S
RESPONSE BUT THEY WON'T
CRITICIZE A SUICIDE
BOMBING, WHICH IS A
PALESTINIAN ACT, BECAUSE
IT IS NOT HIS MANDATE.
IT IS DESIGNED TO CREATE A
NARRATIVE AS ISRAEL AS
SOME SORT OF WICKED HUMAN
RIGHTS ABUSER.
>> Chris: BOO IS I WHAT IS IT
LOOK FOLIKE FOR YOU?
>> IT IS NOT GOOD.
YOU KNOW MANY PEOPLE
DESPISE YOU.
IT IS NOT PLEASANT, BUT WE
GET SUPPORT AROUND THE
WORLD, AND WE KNOW WE'RE
DOING THE RIGHT THING, AND
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
SPEAKING OUT.
>> Chris: UP NEXT, IS
CHRISTIAN PER CONSTITUTION
IPERSECUTION INTHE ARAB WORLD NEW?
>> Chris: WELCOME BACK
TO "JERUSALEM DATELINE."
BEHIND ME YOU CAN SEE THE
CHURCH OF THE DORMISSION
ON MT. ZION, WHERE MANY
CHRISTIANS WORSHIP HERE IN
THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
AND DURING THE PAST FEW
YEARS, MUSLIM PERSECUTION
OF CHRISTIANS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST HAS EXPLODED.
BUT IS IT ANYTHING NEW?
JULIE STAAL ASKED AUTHOR
AND PALESTINIAN AFFAIRS
EXPERT, PINCUS SINBARI
ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK AND THE
STORY IT TELLS OF
CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE
EAST NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO.
>> IT IS CALLED A WRITING
STONE.
STONE IS THE NAME OF THE
HORSE AND IT REPRESENTS A
SPIRIT OF FREEDOM.
IT IS ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY DURING THE
BRITISH MANDATE, THE
GOVERNMENT.
>> Reporter: THAT WOULD
BE THE CHRISTIAN-ARAB
COMMUNITY?
>> CHRISTIAN-ARAB
COMMUNITY, YES.
BUT HERE THERE IS AN
AMERICAN LADY.
>> Reporter: SHE IS NOT
JUST ANY ARAB LADY, RIGHT?
SHE HAS A HISTORY IN HIS
LAND?
>> YES, BECAUSE SHE WAS
BORN IN AMERICA, AN
AMERICAN GIRL.
AND SHE WAS RIDING HORSES
IN AMERICA.
BUT HER FATHER DID THE NOT
FIND HIS PLACE IN AMERICA.
AND HE CAME WITH ALL OF
THE FAMILY BACK TO
PALESTINE.
AND HERE SHE FINDS HERSELF
AN AMERICAN-ARAB LADY IN
AN ARAB VILLAGE, AND SHE
DID NOT FIND HER PLACE
THERE.
>> Reporter: WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING
THAT TOOK PLACE 70 YEARS
AGO, 80 YEARS AGO.
>> IT IS DURING THE
BRITISH RULE OF THE
PALESTINE, IN THE FIRST
YEAR OF THE STATE OF
ISRAEL.
WHAT IS THE LESSON FOR OUR
TIME?
THEY CONFINED IN THE STORY
THE ROOTS OF WHAT HAD BEEN
THE CHRISTIANS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
EXCEPT FOR ISRAEL.
THEY ARE PROTECTED.
SHE BEHAVED AS A FREE
WOMAN, AND SHE WAS RIDING
A HORSE AND THE MUSLIMS
AND THE ARABS FOUND IT
PROVOKING TO THEIR
SENTIMENTS, AND SHE WAS
EXPOSED FROM THE MOSQUE.
THIS IS REPRESENTING WHAT
WILL HAPPEN TO THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE COMING
YEARS.
>> Reporter: HOW DO YOU
SEE THE PLACE OF THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE MUSLIM
WORLD?
>> WELL, IT IS A CLASS OF
CIVILIZATIONS.
BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS ARE
ARABS, LIKE THE MUSLIMS,
BUT STILL THERE ARE
DIFFERENT ARABS.
THE PLACE OF THE WOMAN IS
DIFFERENT THAN THE PLACE
OF THE WOMAN IN THE MUSLIM
SOCIETY.
AND THE MUSLIMS ARE LESS
TOLERANT TO EVERYBODY, THE
JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS,
THE SAME.
SO THEY FOUND -- THEY
COULD NOT LIE TO SERVE THE
JEWS.
AND SO THEY ARE LOST.
ONLY IN ISRAEL THEY ARE
PROTECTED.
>> Reporter: IS THERE
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD
LIKE TO ADD?
>> THE HERO OF THE
STORY -- AFTER SHE WAS
DISAPPOINTED AND WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER BECAUSE OF
ARABISM, SHE WANTED TO
TAKE HER DAUGHTER OUT OF
ARABISM.
AND THEN HER DAUGHTER,
VIOLET, FOUND A NICE
JEWISH BOY.
SO THE MOTHER ENCOURAGED
THEIR LOVE.
AND THE MOTHER WANTED THEM
TO MARRY.
BUT HERE, AGAIN, ARAB
NATIONALISM AND
INTOLERANCE INDECES INTERFERED,
AND THE DAUGHTER WAS
SMUGGLED OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL
SO SHE WOULD NOT BE
SLAUGHTERED.
>> Reporter: WOW, THAT
IS NOT UNCOMMON IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, IS IT?
>> IT HAPPENS.
>> Chris: UP NEXT, COME
SEE WHERE JESUS WALKED.
>> Chris: WELCOME BACK
TO "JERUSALEM DATELINE."
PILGRIMS AND TOURISTS
VISITING ISRAEL CAN NOW
LITERALLY TAKE THE SAME
PATH THAT JESUS WALKED.
HERE IS JULIE STAAL AGAIN
TAKING US ON THE GOSPEL
TRAIL.
>> Reporter: THE TREK
BEGINS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF
NAZARETH, HERE ON
MT. PRECIPICE.
>> THE TRAIL OFFERS THE
NATURE AND PHOTOGRAPHY OF
THE TIME OF JESUS.
THE EMPHASIS ON THE TRAIL
IS ONE WILL SEE WHAT
SOMEBODY IN JESUS' TIME,
OR JESUS HIMSELF, WOULD
HAVE SEEN WHEN HE WALKED
FROM NAZARETH TO
CAPERNIUM.
>> Reporter: THEY CALL
IT MUCH MORE THAN A FOOT
PATH.
>> THE TRAIL ITSELF IS
ACCESSIBLE THROUGH BICYCLE
OR WITH HORSES.
IT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
SCENERY.
>> Reporter: NO ONE
KNOWS EXACTLY THE WAY
JESUS TOOK, BUT THE
40-MILE TRAIL CONNECTS
PLACES RELATED TO HIS LIFE
AND MINISTRY.
ACCESS POINTS ALONG THE
WAY ALLOW TOURISTS TO
SPEND A LITTLE OR A LONG
TIME ON THE TRAIL.
IT IS MARKED WITH THIS
DISTINCTIVE SIGN.
THIS GROUP OF
LATIN-AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
VISITED THE TRAIL.
>> IT IS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
WE SEE A WONDERFUL SEA.
THERE ARE GREAT MOUNTAINS
ALL AROUND US.
THERE IS GREAT VEGETATION.

CONFIDENTIAL: Putin Visits the Top Secret Military Base in Artic - Duration: 3:11.
We begin with new details of Vladimir Putin's trip to the archipelago of Franz Josef Land.
The President visited the northernmost Russian territory
together with the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The head of state visited the base of the Armed Forces located on one of the islands.
Our reporter Pavel Zarubin reports about this unique military facility far beyond the Arctic Circle.
The military base on Franz Josef Land is undoubtedly the pride of the Russian Armed Forces.
Here, in the conditions when it is sometimes difficult
to be outside even for 10 minutes because of the frost,
an ultra-modern complex was built convenient for living and reliable for service.
It is called the Arctic Shamrock.
In a rough climate, where there are no settlements within hundreds of kilometers,
stands the world's most northerly building owned by Russia.
It can be seen even from outer space.
The flag of the Russian Federation.
The larger part of it is top-secret,
this is why we can only show a few minutes of video
showing the President, the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister visiting the Shamrock.
Double glazing.
Towel dryer, washbasin.
You can see that there are no taps.
They were removed to save water.
Everything is automatic here.
Shamrock stands on high piles.
That's why the building is never covered with snow, even during the most violent storms.
The snow sweeps right through.
150 military can live here autonomously and work for at least 1,5 years.
They get the water from snow, they have round-the-clock uninterrupted power supply,
the Russian television, their own gym.
Should someone get sick, there is a medical unit.
All rooms have private bathrooms.
The construction took several years.
People worked both in the polar day and the polar night.
It's -40C°, polar bears are frequent visitors.
This is not the only Russian military base in such tough conditions of the Arctic.
However, 15 years ago, it seemed that Russia left the Arctic forever.
The deployment of the Bastion coastal missile systems
together with modern ships and submarines, armed with the Kalibr and Onyx complexes,
will create a security zone with restricted access in all the Arctic seas of the Russian Federation.
The Ministry of Defense, the Federal Security Service and its Border Service
should implement their plans to ensure national interests
in terms of securing the country's defense capability,
but also protecting our interests in the Arctic.
Today, at the staff meeting of the Defense Ministry
Sergei Shoigu stressed that the military facilities in the Arctic will be finalized as planned.
I hope that no one doubts that we will complete all this work by 2020.
In any case, both our financial capabilities and the objectives of our country
ensure the creation of infrastructure in the north.
Particular attention to the Arctic today
predetermines the stable economic development of the whole of Russia in the future.
There is the overwhelming majority of all-Russian and global reserves of minerals here.

Why is Puerto Rico not part of the United States of America? - Duration: 6:09.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico located in the northeast Caribbean Sea is an
unincorporated territory of the United States of America.
Puerto Ricans are natural-born citizens of the United States,
use the US dollar as their currency
but cannot vote for the United States President or elect voting members for Congress,
which governs the territory with full jurisdiction under the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act
of 1950.
Puerto Rico is "appurtenant to" and belonging to the United States,
but not incorporated into it.
So how did this Caribbean archipelago become owned by but not part of America?
Our story begins on the ninth of February, 1898
The New York Journal publishes a letter under the headline:
"Worst Insult to The United States in its History"
This letter had been written by Enrique Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish ambassador to the United
States to the Foreign Minister of Spain was passed onto the New York Journal by those
who intercepted it; Cuban Rebels who have been fighting the Spanish for almost three
years in their third attempt at winning independence.
In the letter de Lome expresses his view that President McKinley was a weak leader.
Spanish American relations were already fragile.
The American populous was morally outraged at the Spanish treatment of civilians,
who were being imprisoned in concentration camps in order to keep them separated from the rebellion,
and many were dying in the horrendous conditions.
While the Spanish for their part were frustrated by the American's inability, or perhaps
their unwillingness, to curb the flow of weapons from America to the rebels.
Calling for a response to the diplomatic insult
the Press began a campaign opposed to the Ambassador,
despite the fact he had sent in his resignation a day before.
This further enhanced anti-Spanish feelings in America.
The resignation, having done little to curb American anger,
was followed by a formal apology on the fourteenth of February.
But whatever respite that achieved would be short-lived.
The following day disaster would strike.
The American Battleship the USS Maine had being anchored in Havana for the last three weeks
Officially on a friendly diplomatic visit, but also present to protect US nationals
in the ongoing war of independence and remind the Spanish of the American military capabilities.
That night a massive explosion would destroy the forward third of the ship,
a later inquiry would find the cause to be a design flaw causing 5.1 tons of powder charges to detonate.
But for now the first investigation would find there was only one villain who would
be seen responsible for the act, the Spanish.
This was political manoeuvring; America had aspirations of becoming a world power,
and to do so she would need coal refuelling stations,
on islands such as Puerto Rico.
American politicians believed war was now inevitable allocating fifty million dollars
of additional funding to the military, and with the backing of the United States Congress
the President issued an ultimatum to the Spanish Government;
leave Cuba
The Spanish did not accept; expelling US diplomats from Madrid and severing ties.
The two nations were at war.
American forces quickly occupied Spain's New World holdings,
the Philippines and Guam in the Pacific,
and Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.
In just under three months Spain sued for peace.
The war would end with the Treaty of Paris.
Cuba became independent but as a protectorate of the United States and Spain ceded the Philippines,
Guam and crucially for our story Puerto Rico to the control of the United States
as spoils of war.
But the white political establishment didn't want Puerto Rico a place of color to become a state.
In 1900, the Foraker Act gave Puerto Rico some limited popular government,
but the governor and executive were to be appointed by the President
and Puerto Rican's were given Puerto Rican citizenship over US citizenship.
Puerto Rico's status would be challenged a year later in the US Supreme court.
Samuel Downes, a merchant importing oranges from Puerto Rico
was forced to pay import duties, in accordance the Foraker Act
which levied customs specifically on imports from Puerto Rico.
Downes argued that this fell short of Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution
which states "all duties, imposts, and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States".
The court had to decide on the status of Puerto Rico, and the legality of the tariffs.
In doing so the Justices drew upon an older law as precedence – the Guano Islands Act.
In the 1840s sea bird excrement was prized for its use as a fertiliser,
but the British controlled a monopoly and prices were skyrocketing.
The United States responded with the Guano Islands Act.
This Act allowed companies to claim islands covered in Guano for the US, and if necessary
allowed the president to deploy the military to protect these interests.
But these islands were not to be part of the United States,
but to "be considered as appertaining to the United States"
belonging to America but not a part of it.
Drawing upon this idea The Supreme Court decided
that "Porto Rico is a territory appurtenant and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the
United States within the revenue clauses of the Constitution"
the taxes were decided to be constitutional.
With their ruling the Justices said Porto Rico was "foreign to the United States in a domestic sense"
neither a state of the union or an independent nation,
and placing Porto Rico in an in between limbo, that she still finds herself in today.
There are many who argue that Porto Rico should become a state, and other who argue for independence.
And the quill of history continues to write, and later in June 2017 Porto Rico will hold
a referendum with "Statehood" and "Independence/Free Association" as the options;
however the United States Congress will still need to implement changes to the status of Puerto Rico.
But, what do you think? In the comments, tell me;
should Porto Rico become a state, or an independent nation or remain a territory of the United States?

We Don't Do Stupid Things! - Putin Explains Subtle Difference Between US and Russia - Duration: 2:07.
Geoff Cutmore: One of my viewers actually sent a question in for this discussion. An American.
And he said, if you take further consequences against the Americans over sanctions, would you stop giving them rockets so that they can get to the space station?
We never use the "get a ticket and off you go" principle. And why should we?
We never take any steps that can harm us. Americans have long been buying our rocket engines.
It is advantageous to them as it saves money, including taxpayers' money that should have gone to build their own facilities, but it is also advantageous for us because it keeps our factories working.
We never make steps that damage business, damage our international relations. And we are not going to do anything of the kind here.
What the previous US administration did, I think, hurts the US economy, the American people.
And as the Obama administration urged the Europeans to take the same measures, it hurts the European economy,
bringing down the competitiveness of the European economy, leading to hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, and it has already led to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs.
It violates the principles of the World Trade Organisation and international rules in this area, and these are crude violations both in the economy and in human rights protection.

USS Independence (LCS-2) - U.S. Navy [Review] - Duration: 3:39.
USS Independence (LCS-2) is the lead ship of the Independence-class littoral combat
ship.
She is the sixth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the concept of independence.
The design was produced by the General Dynamics consortium for the Navy's LCS program, and
competes with the Lockheed Martin designed Freedom variant.
Independence, delivered to the Navy at the end of 2009, is a high speed, small crew corvette
intended for operation in the littoral zone.
She can swap out various systems to take on various missions, including finding and destroying
mines, hunting submarines in and near shallow water, and fighting small boats.
The ship is a trimaran design with a wide beam above the waterline that supports a larger
flight deck than those of the Navy's much larger destroyers and cruisers, as well as
a large hangar and a similarly large mission bay below.
The trimaran hull also exhibits low hydrodynamic drag, allowing efficient operation on two
diesel powered water jets at speeds up to 18 knots (21 mph), and high speed operation
on two gas turbine powered water jets at a sustainable 44 knots (51 mph) and even faster
for short periods.
The design for Independence is based on a high speed trimaran hull built by Austal.
The 418 feet surface combatant design requires a crew of 43 sailors.
With 11,000 cubic metres of payload volume, she was designed to carry two mission modules,
allowing the ship to do multiple missions without having to be refitted.
The flight deck, 1,030 m2, can support two SH-60 Seahawk helicopters, multiple UAVs,
or one CH-53 Sea Stallion-class helicopter.
The trimaran hull will allow flight operations up to sea state 5.
Independence carries a default armament for self-defense, and command and control.
Unlike traditional combatants with fixed armament such as guns and missiles, tailored mission
modules can be configured for one mission package at a time.
Modules may consist of manned aircraft, unmanned vehicles, off board sensors, or mission manning
detachments.
The interior volume and payload is greater than some destroyers, allowing the ship to
serve as a high speed transport and maneuver platform.
The 15,200 square feet mission bay takes up most of the deck below the hangar and flight
deck.
Bunks and living spaces are below the bridge.
The helm is controlled by joystick instead of a traditional steering wheel.

The Debunker: The Big "Energy Independence" Lie - Duration: 1:47.
THIS IS A SEGMENT WE CAN CALL THE DEBUNKER.
EVERY ONCE IN
A WHILE REPUBLICANS WILL SAY WE
ARE GETTING RID OF REGULATION IN ENERGY BECAUSE WE WANT ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS NOTHING.
GO TELL
YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH THEM.
WE DON'T
ACTUALLY KEEP ALL OF THE OIL, GAS, AND COAL WE KEEP IN
AMERICA.
THAT IS NOT A THING.
YOU CAN LOOK IT UP.
WE DON'T OWN
THAT ENERGY, THE PRIVATE CORPORATIONS OWN IT.
THEY SELL
IT.
THEY SELL A LOT OF IT HERE AND ABROAD.
THERE IS AN
INTERNATIONAL MARKET FOR OIL.
WE CAN'T JUST SAY THIS IS AMERICA'S
OIL.
IF WE DID AND WE SOCIALIZED IT, THAT WOULD BE BORDERLINE
COMMUNISM.
REPUBLICANS WOULD NEVER SUPPORT THAT.
SO WHEN THEY SAY IF WE DRILL MORE AND RELEASE MORE METHANE ñ
IT IS OKAY BECAUSE WE ARE ENERGY
INDEPENDENT.
REALLY?
DOES THAT MEAN THOSE COMPANIES ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO SELL THAT ENERGY ABROAD?
NO.
DOES THAT MEAN THERE
IS ONLY AN INTERNAL MARKET FOR THE US?
NO, PRICES ARE SET
GLOBALLY.
IT IS A NONSENSE TALKING POINT.
ANYTIME YOU SEE
SOMEONE ON TV SAYING ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE UNDERSTAND THEY ARE ENORMOUSLY FULL OF CRAP, AND
THEY KNOW IT.

U.S. sanctions N. Korean firm, 11 individuals with ties to nuke program - Duration: 1:38.
The U.S. government has announced a fresh set of sanctions on eleven North Korean individuals
and one entity in response to North Korea's "ongoing development of weapons of mass destruction."
Nearly all of the eleven North Korean agents are said to operate in other countries.
Kim Hyun-bin reports.
The Trump administration has slapped fresh sanctions on a North Korean business and eleven
other North Korean nationals with ties to the regime's nuclear program and the financial
networks that support it.
A statement released by U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Friday said the sanctions
aim to disrupt networks and methods that fund Pyongyang's nuclear, ballistic missile and
proliferation programs.
The U.S. Treasury Department says North Korea-based trading corporation Paeksol exports iron ore
to China which benefits the regime and has possible ties to the North Korean military.
The department added that the eleven people who were sanctioned work as North Korean agents
in Russia, China, Vietnam and Cuba.
The sanctions prohibit U.S. companies from dealing with the entities and freeze any assets
held in American banks.
The Trump administration has vowed to take a tougher stance against the regime after
years of failed attempts to denuclearize North Korea.
U.S. officials believe North Korea will continue to conduct nuclear tests with an eye to mastering
the technology required to tip a long-range missile with a warhead.
Pyongyang is already heavily sanctioned by the U.S.,... but experts say Washington needs
China's help to deter North Korea.
President Trump is expected to discuss North Korea issues with his Chinese counterpart
Xi Jinping in Florida next week.
