Williams in Washington coming up Turkey's

Khashoggi was murdered in

discuss arms control and America's oldest
restaurant serves and history it's all

00:00:43

00:00:51
Turkish president Raja Tayyip Erdogan
said Choose day that the killing of u.s.

00:00:56
Based Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was

00:00:59
a premeditated act and that all those
responsible should be punished Saudi Arabia

00:01:04
admitted last week that case shogi died
inside its Istanbul consulate an issue away

00:01:09
saying it happened after a fight later
changing his story to say he died in

00:01:14
a chokehold to prevent him from leaving
the building speaking to the Turkish

00:01:18
parliament or one said Tuesday that
Saudi Arabia took an important step by

00:01:22
admitting the killing took place but that
he expects the country's leaders to hold

00:01:27
all those involved responsible no matter
their rank the Turkish leader gave details

00:01:32
about what happened starting the day
before because shogi visited the Saudi

00:01:36
Consulate in Istanbul he said multiple
teams flew to Istanbul to meet at the

00:01:41
diplomatic outpost. I don't know how to
do that I live in the. Shooting he said

00:01:48
over the team we are looking at is

00:01:50
a total of 15 people and this
team. 8 or 95211 am they

00:01:57
came in different groups to the consulate
and met their Jamal Khashoggi was

00:02:01
telephoned at 1150 to confirm his appointment
on that day on the same day in the

00:02:07
early hours because shogi comes from London
to Istanbul and address on foot into

00:02:12
the consulate building at one

00:02:13
o 8 reporter Dorian Jones in Istanbul
speaks with me about earlier was highly

00:02:19
anticipated speech President
the one sold. Narrative. Jamal

00:02:26
Khashoggi was killed in its fight in the
consulate by accident I didn't want to try

00:02:32
to get parliamentary deputies said that
it's one thing premeditated planned by

00:02:37
Riyadh to execute this gentleman he then
went on to explain that they were 3 teams

00:02:42
involved in the killing 2 of them flown
in from Riyadh and one made up of members

00:02:46
of the consulate he said that they had
been people and then went on to point out

00:02:53
that drives the camera at the Istanbul
consulate when he was killed at being

00:02:59
removed he then chat. Right there Prince
failure to cooperate fully He said that

00:03:05
they're still failing to
cooperate saying that they are

00:03:08
a basic explanation of how they dispose
of the body using what they called

00:03:12
a collaborator he said that the way to
find out who this person or. So this was

00:03:17
a very strong speech against Riyadh
that would be that they could have been

00:03:21
a lot worse for Riyadh because they won't
take vacation he would talk about the

00:03:26
tapes and video recordings that leaks from
the investigation claim that they have

00:03:30
that record at the last minute all showed
the life when the gators say he was

00:03:36
tortured and executed and then his body
the men but I don't know that one did not

00:03:41
even talk about those tapes and crew. Surely
he did not attribute direct blame for

00:03:46
the killing of Chris Shoji to the crown
prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin and

00:03:51
what they expect agency possibly
could so I think there was quite

00:03:53
a lot of really focus on Riyadh and in
Washington over the beach yes there has been

00:03:58
as you said

00:03:59
a lot of speculation about those tapes
there had been reports that it could have

00:04:03
come from Apple watch but then of course
there were reports that the actual the

00:04:08
Saudi Consulate in Istanbul had been blocked
Yeah absolutely and I think this is

00:04:13
one possible explanation why he had to
release these tapes if they do have them in

00:04:18
fact President us President on will trump
as allude to the fact that they may not

00:04:22
even exist and the reason one possible
explanation why they haven't been presented

00:04:26
is that they would repeal the security
forces at being. Able to Consulate now that

00:04:33
it's

00:04:33
a complete no no on the international
diplomatic law and would be quite embarrassing

00:04:38
full of turkey to admit to that but having
said that all of us up the. Security

00:04:44
forces have admitted that the tapes to
exist on the lines that they have already

00:04:48
probably a compromise that

00:04:50
a sample consular but I think there will
be relief that they haven't been released

00:04:54
although the CIA chief i.g.

00:04:56
Not all had flown in to encourage today to
report the exam and the state if they do

00:05:02
exist now up until now the foreign minister
speaking today said that they will not

00:05:07
be sharing the dates of anyone
so that will there's still

00:05:09
a lot of conjecture whether these tapes
exist and what's on them yes and as you

00:05:13
also said earlier one seemed to be sensitive
to offending and members of Saudi

00:05:20
Arabia's royal family I've also read that
some observers said that he has to be

00:05:25
particularly careful not offending the
king never mind that the crown prince you

00:05:30
haven't tried it quite interesting Hey
Verity was very careful in his language

00:05:34
showing

00:05:35
a lot of respect to King Solomon who he
has been speaking with during this crisis

00:05:40
the president wanted no secret has. Very
bad relations with the crown prince

00:05:45
thought still has pretty good ties with the
king who he is known for many years so

00:05:51
he again followed this line that he showed

00:05:53
a lot of respect there and this is fueling
speculation that there is some possible

00:05:57
deal that he's in that is slowly being
hammered out between onkar Riyadh and

00:06:03
possibly Washington as well although Unger
has been very clear publicly they insist

00:06:07
that they will be no white washing him of
the investigation there will be no secret

00:06:11
deals but analysts some people that
are close to the presidency have been

00:06:15
speculating for some time that some deal
is in the offing that Riyadh will have to

00:06:19
pay a very considerable

00:06:21
a high price for exit strategy from this
diplomatic crisis one possible concession

00:06:27
we had is probably now expected to make is
the president one has called for the 18

00:06:31
people that have been detained by Saudi in
4 of these in connection with the death

00:06:35
of Shoji that they should be tried in
Turkey that is a big leap but that will be

00:06:40
a big concession from Iyad Riyadh but this
could be the possible 1st steps in some

00:06:45
sort of long term deal between the 2
countries to resolve this crisis Well and

00:06:50
meanwhile an Istanbul apparently Turkish
officials continue to look I guess

00:06:56
possibly and the Belgrade forest maybe
other areas for the remains of Jamal

00:07:01
Khashoggi yet the search is still continuing
for the remains of this journalist

00:07:06
this is of course very important for his
family members and close friends it does

00:07:11
help with closure but it's also very
important for the Turkish investigations to

00:07:15
confirm their narrative or
move on they have insisted on

00:07:19
a show and she was brutally tortured
before being killed and I think therefore

00:07:24
forensics this will be very important
to prove this case but they have been

00:07:28
struggling they've been looking in various
locations after following the movements

00:07:33
of the alleged 50 members Saudi hit team
that is blamed for the killing of the

00:07:37
journalist turkeys the scariest investigating
scaring thousands and thousands of

00:07:42
hours of c.c.t.v.

00:07:43
Footage. Following day these people
are up they still have not found

00:07:48
a little body and then this is what is

00:07:50
a lot of criticism of reality they had
submitted they need to dispose of the body

00:07:55
on Christina not getting cooperation
in finding all the and I think

00:07:59
a point to taint ongoing tension continues
trying to find the remains of which

00:08:04
Rocky. During Jones reporting from
Istanbul Meanwhile here in Washington u.s.

00:08:10
Vice president Mike Pence said earlier
ones assessment of the killing underscores

00:08:15
the determination of the trumpet ministration
to find out what happened. Pan said

00:08:21
the word from President Carter won this
morning that this brutal murder was

00:08:24
premeditated pre-planned days in advance
flies in the face of earlier search and

00:08:30
that had been made by the Saudi regime
tense said at an event at the Washington

00:08:35
Post at the world is watching and at the
post is where he wrote opinion columns

00:08:40
that were critical of Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Solomon who was the country's

00:08:45
defacto leader Pen said the American people
want answers and we will demand that

00:08:50
those answers are forthcoming.

00:10:53
Russia's Security Council is indicated it's
prepared to work with the United States

00:10:58
on addressing American concerns over
charges Moscow is violating the $987.00

00:11:04
intermediate nuclear forces or i

00:11:06
n f treaty the offer came as White House
national security advisor John Bolton met

00:11:12
with Russian officials including President
Vladimir Putin in Moscow President

00:11:17
Donald Trump reaffirmed his intention
to pull out of the treaty. Agreements.

00:11:26
So people. With money. Will
build it up until they come to.

00:11:38
The Kremlin warned us withdrawal would
make the world more dangerous spokesman

00:11:42
Dmitri Peskov said Russia would have to
take action to restore balance if the u.s.

00:11:47
Develops new short range and medium range
nuclear systems John Tierney is executive

00:11:53
director of the Washington based Center
for Arms Control and Nonproliferation he

00:11:58
tells international editions Victor Beattie
Moscow is likely in violation of the

00:12:02
treaty designed in large part to reduce
the nuclear threat to Europe and the

00:12:07
intentions of the United States put in
during the bomber ministration and we've

00:12:11
seen in this administration
that they have developed

00:12:13
a system that does not really that is the
most of the treaty so they say they were

00:12:17
in violation the Russians
deny it but there's

00:12:19
a way to resolve it without filling out

00:12:21
a treaty meant to be to go back to the
table and negotiate and see you know the

00:12:24
inspection of the. Material and see
the violation of them. Negotiate

00:12:29
a pull back on it and redesign redevelopment
of it if it does work that way and I'm

00:12:34
sure that there's plenty to talk about
on both sides if they want to try that

00:12:38
avenue is this the same ploy the president
may have used in the NAFTA trade

00:12:42
negotiations with Mexico and
Canada eventually reaching

00:12:45
a new agreement well it might
be I know that's about

00:12:48
a quarter over the Senate I would like to
believe you know it's probably not the

00:12:52
preferred way of most professional diplomats
to proceed and not one that countries

00:12:56
are used to it seems the one that this
president is willing to try to matter what

00:13:00
the subject matter but right now if you
take it at face value I think it's

00:13:03
a very dangerous prospect that pulling
out of that treaty when there's still

00:13:06
prospects of putting it together and
having it work it serves benefits to the

00:13:10
Europeans as well as to America and Russia
and doesn't bode well for things like

00:13:14
new start an extension or lose data based
on that that's an important question as

00:13:18
well why would the president draw
China into this since it's not

00:13:22
a party the treaty I can't explain that
man but I might guess that somebody told

00:13:27
him somewhere on the line that China has
similar type of weapons that might be

00:13:31
banned by the treaty if they were party to
the treaty and want to try to loop them

00:13:34
in but generally it's been Russia that's
been more concerned with what China has in

00:13:38
this range than the United States so he
has got it in his mind that somebody

00:13:42
mentioned it whether he
thinks he'd like to have

00:13:44
a more inclusive agreement covering more
than just 2 countries it doesn't explain

00:13:48
in this tweet it's not letters for him
to deal with I'm not sure comprehensible

00:13:52
situation Russia seems to leave open the
possibility of some sort of accommodation

00:13:58
is that helpful I think it's there I mean
I think it was there without all of this

00:14:02
showboating about pulling out it was there
people just want to go back to the table

00:14:06
and start having

00:14:06
a conversation I'm concerned that John
Bolton is not around the White House when it

00:14:11
comes to foreign policy and this is

00:14:13
a very pliable president who
doesn't often seem to have

00:14:16
a mind of his own on these matters and is
catching up all the time and John Bolton

00:14:19
has

00:14:19
a history is fixated on not liking it that
actually grievance and thinking that they

00:14:23
serve no actual security instance for the
United States so you know it should be

00:14:26
a concern everybody that he's in there
instead of. As National Security Advisor

00:14:30
pulling together all of the different
opinions and views of the various departments

00:14:34
he sees the setting policy and pushing this
president in the direction it could be

00:14:37
. Bolton said the bilateral i.n.f.

00:14:41
Treaty no longer meets
today's realities because

00:14:43
a number of states possess intermediate
and short range nuclear capability

00:14:48
including North Korea and China he said in

00:14:51
a Russian interview the next step is
consultations with friends in Europe and Asia

00:14:55
in the meantime Bolton said talks with
Russia will continue the United Nations

00:15:00
Refugee Agency as such said had says sent
dozens of staff to southern Mexico to

00:15:06
help stabilize

00:15:07

Some will be in need of international
protection all countries have

00:16:40
a right to be able to manage their own
immigration and manage their own borders

00:16:45
what is important for us is that those
borders are managed in an asylum sensitive

00:16:50
way which means giving people access
assessing their claims and then dealing with

00:16:55
them accordingly in line with international
law Edward says individuals fleeing

persecution and violence must be given

American Both candidates have focused

00:18:26
on the issues and say their community has

00:22:16
restaurant 1st opened its doors in 1826
The menu has changed only slightly elopes

00:22:23
through so I deliver it fresh to the oyster
Hall speech in every morning differ on

00:22:27
the places that we need special. Where and
where they wait their fates see if they

00:22:32
can't get you because it has behind your
back fees and these little guys right here

00:22:35
can't get you. Because
you hold on to. Take

00:22:40
a grip. They don't. Have many celebrities

00:22:47
and even presidents have come to
the Union Oyster House to enjoy

00:22:51
a lobster and other popular items before
moving to Washington at the late president

00:22:56
John f.

00:22:57
Kennedy was in regulated table 18 and former
President Barack Obama who came here 3

00:23:02
years to go aloft the clam chowder one of
the restaurants special to the front that

00:23:08
uses old time tested recipes so they claim
chowder here is made according to New

00:23:13
England tradition with cream and not
tomatoes like it's done in New York and to

00:23:18
France a country just that's
pulling there we still have

00:23:20
a strange no no no it's got this is clam
chowder. The other one and again why do

00:23:26
the tomatoes you know it could have been
the fact that they may have been more

00:23:29
tomatoes available in the area and cream
was hard to get the tomatoes became

00:23:34
incorporated and greedy and. That we need
my best guess and the Chevy brushes off

00:23:39
any concerns about completion because he
knows that there is no other place like

00:23:44
they didn't enjoy some college in Boston
during the fragile for viewing use Boston

00:23:49

00:26:57
Saudi Arabian officials have changed their
explanation about because show Gay's

00:27:03
disappearance several times at 1st
the Saudi government said that

00:27:10
he left the consulate in Istanbul and
that officials did not know where he was

00:27:17
then it said that case shogi died in

00:27:21
a fight inside the consulate most
recently they have said that because

00:27:27
shogi choked to death while being prevented
from leaving the consulate to call for

00:27:33
help Turkish president reject
tieup Erda one has said he will

00:27:40
give details of the case in

00:27:43
a speech to parliament on Tuesday
he told supporters in ystem

00:27:50
Bowl Sunday we are looking for justice
here and that the truth would be

00:27:56
told in addition Erda one spoke to
American president Donald Trump

00:28:03
by telephone on Sunday Turkish
state run media said the

00:28:10
2 agreed that the coast Shoki
case needed to be cleared up.

00:28:17
Turkish officials say they have sound
recordings and video evidence of coach

00:28:24
shogi being tortured and killed
inside the Saudi Consulate

00:28:31
on Sunday Saudi Arabia's foreign

00:28:38
he died in what he called

00:28:41
a rogue operation. Bear offered

00:28:48
family he said that any attempt
to cover up wrongdoing was

00:28:55
on acceptable in any government
the foreign minister also

00:29:02
denied reports that powerful Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Solomon was

00:29:08
involved Saudi Arabia says Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Solomon

00:29:15
expressed his sympathy to Chris
shogi son on Monday they spoke by

00:29:21
telephone Saudi Arabia also
says it has dismissed 5

00:29:28
officials linked to the suspected
death and has arrested 18 others

00:29:35
it says an investigation is being
carried out news reports have said

00:29:41
15 Saudi agents were involved in
the operation some people question

00:29:48
how

00:29:49
a team of 15 Saudi agents could
travel to Istanbul without the

00:29:56
crown prince's knowledge some u.s.

00:29:59
Lawmakers including members of the
president's Republican Party have expressed

00:30:06
concern about the apparent killing they
are demanding punishment for Saudi

00:30:12
Arabia. President Trump has said
Saudi Arabia could be punished

00:30:19
but he has said he is unwilling to cancel

00:30:23
a $110000000000.00 arms deal
reached last year with the king.

00:30:32
Family has links to the Saudi
royal family his father was

00:30:38
a Turk who served as the personal
doctor to King Abdul Aziz also

00:30:45
the founder of Saudi Arabia
because shogi has been

00:30:51
a reporter since the 1980
s Most recently he wrote

00:30:57
opinion pieces for The Washington
Post newspaper because shogi has been

00:31:04
critical of the Saudi government and
has called for democratic reforms in

00:31:11
countries across the Middle
East Coast Shoki was at the

00:31:17
consulate to get documents linked
to his planned marriage to Turkish

00:31:24
citizen how t.j.

00:31:26
. She stood near the door
of the consulate for hours

00:31:33
waiting for him. When he did
not appear she reported his

00:31:39
disappearance. And I'm Katie Weaver.

00:32:12
Native species present threats to
natural environments across the world

00:32:19
by pushing out native
organisms their presence can

00:32:26
seriously damage ecosystems that
provide clean water food and

00:32:32
other important resources to
many living things destructive

00:32:39
non-native species are
called invasive species

00:32:46
scientists have long struggled to
find ways to slow or stop them

00:32:54
but American researchers have discovered
that some invasive species can

00:33:01
also have

00:33:02
a good effect on the environment
one of them is frag.

00:33:10
A tall fast growing grass this
plant is thought to have 1st

00:33:17
appeared in Europe in
the early 19th century.

00:33:24
Is not native to the United States
but it now is very common along

00:33:31
the u.s.

00:33:32
East Coast and can be found in
wetlands across North America. The

00:33:40
u.s.

00:33:40
Fish and Wildlife Service says
the fast spread of. In the 20th

00:33:47
century was likely caused by
several things they include the

00:33:54
building of railroads and major
expressways that affected natural habitat

00:34:01
there was also widespread
development along the coast

00:34:07
a rich supply of minerals in coastal
waters likely also drove plant

00:34:14
growth researchers found in

00:34:18
a new study that one major benefit of
invasive species is that they can eat

00:34:25
up carbon dioxide scientists
have blamed the gas for

00:34:32
being

00:34:32
a major cause of rising
temperatures on Earth's surface the

00:34:39
study found that coastal ecosystems
generally store more blue carbon

00:34:46
when they're overtaken by
invasive species blue carbon is

00:34:53
a kind of carbon stored in
oceans and coastal ecosystems

00:35:01
The research showed that coastal ecosystems
that had been overtaken by invasive

00:35:07
species had about 40 percent
more carbon then native habitats

00:35:16
Christina sim Canon helped to prepare

00:35:19
a report on the study sim canon is

00:35:24
a biologist at the Smithsonian
Environmental Research Center in Maryland

00:35:32
she says the findings were somewhat surprising.
I think because non-native species

00:35:38
are often thought of as being negative
so often and they do have detrimental

00:35:42
impacts but in this case they think to
be storing carbon quicker she added

00:35:50
that frog might ease and some other
non-native species keep increasing the carbon

00:35:56
they take in because the plants
grow and spread so quickly

00:36:04
sim Cannon says the issue can be complex
when different kinds of invasive species

00:36:11
are involved while she
does not believe it is

00:36:15
a good idea to let invasive invaders
take control she thinks finding

00:36:22
a solution is not always
simple Such decisions are not

00:36:29
likely to get any easier in the
future Smithsonian research shows

00:36:36
that frog might ease will keep
out competing native species as

00:36:42
temperatures and carbon dioxide
levels rise I am Brian

trending today.

00:39:28
From the away learning English this
is the health and lifestyle report.

00:39:35
Some people are great at remembering
faces once they meet you they never

00:39:42
forget how you look they might
say things like I never forget

00:39:47
a face or I'm really good with
faces for some people remembering

00:39:54
a face can be difficult you may have to
meet them several times before they can

00:40:01
recognize you for others remembering

00:40:05
a face is simply impossible
such people have

00:40:10
a condition of the brain called
face blindness its actual name

00:40:17
is developmental process. Or d.p.

00:40:23
For short experts say d.p.

00:40:27
Can differ greatly from patient
to patient in less severe cases

00:40:34
people are unable to describe the
face of someone they have just met in

00:40:41
severe cases people cannot even
recognize their own children in

00:40:47
a group photograph many
people who have d.p.

00:40:52
Show no clear signs Take for example read

00:41:00
if you met her you probably would not
know that she suffered brain damage as

00:41:06
a child there would be no
sign of it until you meet her

00:41:11
a 2nd time she would not
remember how you looked Reed has

00:41:18
mostly recovered from her injuries but
now she suffers from face blindness

00:41:26
face blindness was once thought to be
very rare but recent studies have shown

00:41:33
that it might be more common than experts
had thought. The latest study on

00:41:40
face blindness comes from the pro so peg
notion research centers at Dartmouth

00:41:45
College in the United States the National
Science Foundation provided financing

00:41:52
for that research Bradley do Shane is

00:41:57
a professor of psychological and brain
sciences at Dartmouth College he

00:42:03
worked closely on this study
with way also of Dartmouth

00:42:10
Dushanbe says that the research showed
neural abnormalities in many people with

00:42:16
d.p.

00:42:17
Are more widespread than previous
studies have suggested the researchers

00:42:24
studied how people recognize and
process faces they compared 22

00:42:31
patients with d.p.

00:42:33
To 25 other people the researchers
showed all the subjects videos

00:42:40
of faces bodies physical
objects and other images then

00:42:47
they used functional magnetic
resonance imaging or f. M.r.i.

00:42:53
To measure activity in each
person's brain and f. M.r.i.

00:42:59
Can identify chemical and other
changes resulting from blood flow

00:43:06
one test involved famous faces the
researchers wanted to find out

00:43:13
if the subjects could recognize
pictures of famous people the woman we

00:43:20
spoke about earlier dosh

00:43:22
a read took part in the study.
When shown famous faces she drew

00:43:28
a blank with actor George
Clooney. And former President

00:43:35
George Bush. And I don't know
however she could identify actor

00:43:42
John Travolta because of one specific
feature own John Travolta yeah

00:43:49
baby that chair and you can't
stand to shame says that studying

00:43:56
face blindness may help researchers
understand how the brain works for

00:44:03
example Dushanbe says his team wanted to
see if the brain recognized people and

00:44:10
things in the same way so the researchers
tested how well people with face

00:44:16
blindness could recognize common
objects such as cars they

00:44:23
found that people with d.p.

00:44:26
May not have been able to remember faces
but they could recognize objects scenes

00:44:32
and bodies and so imagine that we find
somebody who suffered brain damage and they

00:44:38
can't recognize faces any longer but
they can still recognize cars in

00:44:42
a parking lot and they can recognize
scenes and things like that he says that

00:44:46
suggests that faces are processed
differently in the brain Dushanbe

00:44:53
says this study on face blindness will
not directly lead to any treatments

00:45:00
However he said it could lead to

00:45:03
a deeper understanding of how we all
remember the world around us we hope that by

00:45:10
really developing an understanding of face
processing itself that will provide us

00:45:14
with

00:45:15
a model for understanding the way other parts
of the brain work and that's the health

00:45:20
and lifestyle report I'm on I'm

00:45:22
a Teo. The

00:45:31
way learning English presents
America's presidents.

00:45:38
Today we are talking about William
Howard Taft who took office in 1990

00:45:45
in some ways the story of
Taft presidency is also

00:45:50
a story about Theodore Roosevelt's presidency
Roosevelt had been president for the

00:45:56
8 years before Taft the 2 men
were friends Roosevelt was even

00:46:02
a mentor to Taft but the 2 men
were very different Roosevelt was

00:46:08
in or Jadick both in his physical abilities
and in his use of executive power

00:46:15
his vision for the country was
progressive in contrast Taft was

00:46:21
a more conservative heavy man who fell
asleep in meetings and who did not make

00:46:27
decisions quickly in fact Americans
often remember Taft because of his

00:46:33
size his weight change frequently but
as President Taft usually weighed about

00:46:40
135 kilograms one popular
story claims that Taft got

00:46:47
stuck in

00:46:48
a White House bath tub this story
is not true however it is true that

00:46:55
Taft had

00:46:55
a special bath tub made for him several
men could sit comfortably in it as

00:47:02
President Taft did continue some
of Roosevelt's reforms but in

00:47:07
a more orderly way he also took some actions
that contradicted Roosevelt's wishes.

00:47:15
In 4 years the 2 men had gone from political
allies to competitors for the White

00:47:21
House.

00:47:35
Taft was another president who was born in
the state of Ohio he grew up in the city

00:47:42
of Cincinnati along with 5
siblings Taffs father was

00:47:47
a well known lawyer

00:47:49
a public official and diplomat he was
an advisor to President Ulysses Grant

00:47:56
His mother was an intelligent independent
woman who also worked for the public good

00:48:02
the Taffs had high expectations for their
son he became an excellent student who

00:48:09
went on to study at Yale and then the
University of Cincinnati Law School

00:48:16
Taft sought a career path that he hoped
would lead him one day to the u.s.

00:48:21
Supreme Court he worked
as a lawyer and then as

00:48:25
a judge in Ohio along the way
he met Theodore Roosevelt

00:48:32
Roosevelt helped Taft
advance his career as

00:48:35
a judge but one person was not happy
about the career move Taffs wife

00:48:43
Taft had married an intelligent independent
woman named Helen Heron known as Nellie

00:48:50
she had always wanted to be 1st lady
and she urged her husband to follow

00:48:55
a path toward the White House in
time Nellie Taft had her wish

00:49:03
in 1900 President William
McKinley offered Taft

00:49:07
a position in the Philippines the islands
had come under the control of the United

00:49:12
States after the Spanish-American war.
McKinley wanted Taft to help prepare the

00:49:19
Philippines to be ruled by civilians
instead of by soldiers Taft worried he

00:49:26
would not like the job however he knew
that it was a good chance to build

00:49:31
a political career Taft was right about
that but he was wrong about disliking the

00:49:38
job he enjoyed it so much that he turned
down 2 offers to return to the us and

00:49:45
serve on the Supreme Court in the
Philippines Taft successfully

00:49:50
a stablished courts schools a
transportation network and

00:49:55
a health care system Taft did have pejorative
views about the people who live there

00:50:02
he did not think they were yet capable of
governing themselves but he performed his

00:50:08
job as governor general affectively Taft
might have even stayed in the Philippines

00:50:14
if it were not for his friend Theodore
Roosevelt in 1001 Roosevelt became

00:50:21
president he asked Taft to
become his Secretary of War Taft

00:50:28
agreed partly so he could continue to
supervise the Philippines but the job also

00:50:34
put him in

00:50:35
a position to become
president himself. William

00:51:04
Taft did not really want to be president
but Theodore Roosevelt and Nellie Taft

00:51:10
wanted him to be. During the election of
1000 know 8 Taft permitted Roosevelt to do

00:51:16
most of the campaigning for him he spent

00:51:20
a lot of time golfing Taft was the 1st
president to be strongly linked so to speak

00:51:26
to the sport of golf thing another word
for golf course is links yet voters

00:51:33
approved of Taft they likely hoped he
would continue the reforms of Roosevelt

00:51:40
he won the election easily once
in the White House however Taft

00:51:46
a did several things that reversed
Roosevelt's positions 1st Taft signed

00:51:52
a bill that did not reduce tariffs as
much as many progressive activists wanted

00:52:00
then Taft removed one of
Roosevelt's friends from

00:52:03
a government position Taft believed he was
correct in making the move but Roosevelt

00:52:10
and many other Republicans were furious
Some historians say they did not

00:52:17
give Taft enough credit for the many
reforms he did make his government pursued

00:52:23
a large number of anti-trust suit against
big businesses it also advanced to

00:52:29
constitutional amendments one to establish

00:52:33
a federal income tax and another to
permit voters to elect senators directly

00:52:40
as the end of Taffs term in the White
House came near the Republican Party was

00:52:45
divided at their 912 convention

00:52:49
a majority of delegates nominated
Taft for president again but

00:52:54
a number left the meeting
in anger they created

00:52:58
a new group called the Progressive Party
and nominated as their candidate Theodore

00:53:04
Roosevelt. Taft and Roosevelt along with
the Democratic Party candidate fought

00:53:11
a bitter campaign during
912 of the 3 Taft came in

00:53:17
last Roosevelt came in 2nd the divided
Republicans had given control

00:53:24
of the White House to the Democratic
candidate Woodrow Wilson.

00:53:48
Happily for him Taft story does not end
there Taft taught at Yale University

00:53:55
Law School for a while and when

00:53:58
a Republican took the White House again
President Warren Harding appointed Taft as
