There's been another mass shooting in America – this time, in a community college in Oregon. That means there are more American families – moms, dads, children – whose lives have been changed forever. That means there's another community stunned with grief, and communities across the country forced to relieve their own anguish, and parents across the country who are ...
Ladies and gentlemen, Never before have we had so many different ways to talk to one another. In the distant past, written documents would be carried by hand across thousands of miles from China to Western Europe. Today, we access knowledge from all over the world, through our mobile phones, at the tap of a key. Wherever you are watching this programme – whether in this hall...
Hi, everybody. Yesterday, we learned that our businesses created another 118,000 new jobs in September. That makes 67 straight months of job creation, and 13.2 million new jobs in all. But we would be doing even better if we didn't have to keep dealing with crises in Congress every few months. And especially at a time when the global economy is softening, our own growth ...
Hi, everybody. Today, September 26th, is "National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day." It's a day where you can safely, conveniently, and responsibly dispose of expired and unwanted prescription drugs at collection sites in your community. Here's why this matters. More Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do in car crashes. And most of t...
Hi, I'm Lisa Murkowski. And I'm honored to represent Alaska in the U.S. Senate, where I chair the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. It's been a pretty good week in Congress – with the House of Representatives welcoming a new speaker, Paul Ryan, and the Senate passing a major bill to protect our nation's cyber security. What I want to talk with you ab...
Good morning, everyone. This past week, we've seen the best and the worst of humanity. The heinous terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut, in Iraq and Nigeria. They showed us once again the depths of the terrorist's depravity. And at the same time, we saw the world come together in solidarity. Parisians opening their doors to anyone trapped in the street, taxi drivers...
Hi, everybody. This week, America came together to salute our veterans – to express our appreciation to all who served so that we might live free. But our gratitude should extend beyond what our veterans have done for us in the past. It should remind us of our responsibilities to serve them as well as they have served us. It should compel us to keep our veterans central to t...
Good evening, everybody. I just want to make a few brief comments about the attacks across Paris tonight. Once again, we've seen an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. This is an attack not just on Paris, it's an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share. We stand prepared ...
Distinguished guests, friends and colleagues, We are most grateful to the Environmental Public Authority of the State of Kuwait for hosting and financing this week's workshop on illegal trade in cheetahs. We also extend our thanks to the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) for co-funding this event...
On behalf of the Government and the people of Malaysia, may I warmly welcome your Majesties, all ASEAN leaders and everyone present to Kuala Lumpur and to the Opening Ceremony of the 27th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits. Honoured guests, colleagues and friends, I was going to begin by talking to you about the momentous steps we in ASEAN are about to embark upon. But the eve...
Families are coming together, lights are being strung up, the food is going in the oven, Diwali is upon us once again. As the celebrations get underway, from London to Leicester, Glasgow to Gwent, Bristol to Birmingham, I want to send out my very best wishes to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights. This is a great moment in our national calendar and an opportunity to ...
Good morning. Last night, the United States carried out an air strike in Raqqa, Syria, targeting Mohammed Emwazi – the ISIL executioner known as Jihadi John. We cannot yet be certain if the strike was successful. But let me be clear. I have always said that we would do whatever was necessary, whatever it took, to track down Emwazi and stop him taking the lives of others. We ...
Ministers, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am most grateful to you for sparing your very precious time to be here for this meeting today on Forests and Climate Change, exactly a month before COP21 begins in Paris. In addition to complimenting Minister Ségolène Royal for her and her Government's absolutely herculean efforts in preparing for a successful COP, ma...
Hi, everybody. In 1620, a small band of pilgrims came to this continent, refugees who had fled persecution and violence in their native land. Nearly 400 years later, we remember their part in the American story – and we honor the men and women who helped them in their time of need. Thanksgiving is a day for food and football, and for hoping the turkey didn't turn out too...
Good evening. On Wednesday, 14 Americans were killed as they came together to celebrate the holidays. They were taken from family and friends who loved them deeply. They were white and black; Latino and Asian; immigrants and American-born; moms and dads; daughters and sons. Each of them served their fellow citizens and all of them were part of our American family. Tonight, I...
Hi, everybody. This weekend, our hearts are with the people of San Bernardino – another American community shattered by unspeakable violence. We salute the first responders – the police, the SWAT teams, the EMTs – who responded so quickly, with such courage, and saved lives. We pray for the injured as they fight to recover from their wounds. Most of all, we stand with 14 fam...
Sunny ways, my friends, sunny ways. This is what positive politics can do. This is what a causative, hopeful – a hopeful vision and a platform and a team together can make happen. Canadians – Canadians from all across this great country sent a clear message tonight. It's time for a change in this country, my friends, a real change. I also want to specifically thank my go...
Thank you, Catherine, for that kind introduction. I was delighted when I was asked to help open today's conference. I want to start by saying a big thank you to all of the headteachers here today. I know how much is asked of you. The fact that you are all committing your valuable time to support Place2Be, and prioritise the mental health of your students is something tha...
THE PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas, everybody! This is one of our favorite times of the year in the Obama household, filled with family and friends, warmth and good cheer. That's even true when I spend all night chasing Bo and Sunny away from the cookies we leave for Santa. It's also my favorite weekly address of the year, because I'm joined by a special holiday gues...
Minister Pulgar-Vidal,Minister Fabius,Madame Figueres,Your Excellencies,Ladies and Gentlemen, I am enormously touched to have been invited by President Hollande to say a very few words at the start of this crucially important Conference.
