WATCHING THE SKIES…

DEFENDING THE HOMELANDS…

PROVIDING MARITIME AND AEROSPACE WARNING…

AND AEROSPACE CONTROL…

THAT'S THE CONTINUING MISSION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND OR NORAD.

NORAD IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE U-S AND CANADA.

THE TWO COUNTRIES COMBINE RESOURCES TO KEEP WATCH FOR POTENTIAL MARITIME AND AEROSPACE

THREATS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.

ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED WITH A COLD WAR EARLY WARNING AND AIR DEFENSE MISSION FOR THE U-S

AND CANADA, THE WAY NORAD DID BUSINESS CHANGED COMPLETELY ON

SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH TWO THOUSAND ONE.

WE TURNED ON CNN AND THAT'S LITERALLY WHERE WE STARTED GETTING THE INFORMATION THAT WE

NEEDED TO GO, 'HEY THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A GENERAL AVIATION ATTACK.'

AND THEN WE SAW IN REAL TIME THE SECOND AIRCRAFT HIT THE SECOND TOWER AND WE KNEW

THAT IT WASNOT A NORMAL GENERAL AVIATION EPISODE.

THAT EVENT THAT TRIGGERED NORAD TO ACTIVATE OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE, THE AIR DEFENSE

RESPONSE TO NINE ELEVEN DESIGNATING MILITARY OPERATIONS TO SUPPORT THE HOMELANDS.

BEFORE, NORAD WAS LOOKING AT OUTSIDE THREATS.

NOW, UNDER OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE, THEY'RE LOOKING AT INSIDE THREATS AS WELL.

AND SO, 9-11 GAVE US THAT WAKE-UP CALL AND SINCE THEN OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE HAS BEEN

PROVIDING THE AIR SOVEREIGNTY FOR THE U-S AND CANADA.

WE'RE THE FORCE OF LAST RESORT TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS OF CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

FROM ANY THREATS IN THE AIR DOMAIN.

ABSOLUTELY, WE'RE MUCH SAFER TODAY.

NORAD PROVIDES THE CANADIAN AND U-S GOVERNMENTS WITH A POTENT

MILITARY RESPONSE CAPABILITY TO COUNTER DOMESTIC AIRSPACE THREATS

THROUGH A NETWORK OF ALERT FIGHTERS, TANKERS, AIRBORNE

EARLY WARNING AIRCRAFT AND GROUND-BASED AIR DEFENSE.

THE BI-NATIONAL ORGANIZATION COMBINES THE CAPABILITIES OF THE U-S AND ROYAL CANADIAN

AIR FORCES, AND THE NATIONAL GUARD TO COVER THREE REGIONS.

ALASKA, CANADA AND THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.

OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE, THEY INTERCEPT SUSPICIOUS AIRCRAFT,

WHETHER THEY'VE INADVERTENTLY

WANDERED INTO CONTROLLED AIRSPACE OR IF THERE'S A POTENTIAL THREAT.

NORAD DOESN'T OWN ANY OF THE AIRSPACE IT MONITORS…

THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION AND TRANSPORT CANADA

ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REGULATING THE AIRSPACE.

THEY ESTABLISH THOSE AIRSPACES, AND THEY HAVE THE REGULATIONS TO BE ABLE TO

PROSECUTE PEOPLE WHO VIOLATE THOSE AIRSPACES,

BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A WAY OF ENFORCING THEM.

IT'S OUR JOB TO ENFORCE THOSE REGULATIONS THEY PUT OUT THERE AND TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND

TO PEOPLE WHO ARE UNAWARE OF THOSE RESTRICTED AIRSPACES OR

FOR WHATEVER REASON GO INSIDE THEM.

NORAD ENFORCES REGULATIONS BY CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING ALL

FLIGHT TRAFFIC IN NORTH AMERICAN AIRSPACE…

AND THE EQUIPMENT THEY USE IS HIGHLY ACCURATE.

WE HAVE A VERY GOOD RADAR SYSTEM THAT CAN TRACK SMALL OBJECTS TO 747'S

OR EVEN LARGER… A380'S.

SO WE CAN DO A VERY GOOD JOB AT DETECTING WHAT'S OUT THERE.

WE CAN EVEN SEE FLOCKS OF GEESE IF NEED BE.

SOMETIMES IT'S THAT MUCH OF A SWARM THAT THAT'S WHAT WE SEE.

AND IF NORAD RADAR DOES PICK UP SOMETHING OF CONCERN…

THERE ARE AN ARRAY OF SQUADRONS BOTH IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

THAT ARE ON DUTY THAT ARE ON HIGH ALERT

TO SUPPORT NORAD'S MISSION 24-7 365 DAYS A YEAR.

WE'LL HAVE CANADIAN FORCES, CF18'S AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN CANADA OR IN

THE UNITED STATES.

THERE ARE F16'S F15'S AND F22'S ALL ON ALERT.

AND WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR STATUS IS.

WE PROVIDE THEM WITH INFORMATION ON WHAT WE CALL TRACKS OF INTEREST OR RADAR INFORMATION

OR SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING THAT WE HAVE TO RESPOND TO.

I DON'T THINK OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE WILL END ANY TIME SOON.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE AIR DOMAIN, THE THREAT FROM THE AIR DOMAIN IS CONSISTENT.

AS LONG AS BAD GUYS ARE OUT THERE WANTING TO DO HARM TO THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA,

THEY'RE GOING TO TRY AND EXPLOIT THE SEAMS AND THE GAPS THAT FALL WITHIN THE AIR DOMAIN.

SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND ACCORDINGLY.

THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT…

THE THREAT OF ANOTHER ATTACK

NEVER EVER GET COMFORTABLE.

NOR DO I LET THIS ORGANIZATION GET COMFORTABLE.

IT'S A DAILY CHALLENGE BUT WE'RE UP TO IT.

WE'RE READY AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE READY.

the plan is second North Korea summit is going to be one more chance for North

Korea to live up to its commitment to denuclearize and this is according to

White House National Security Advisor John Bolton who said in an interview

with us-based radio network NPR on Thursday that he thinks US President

Donald Trump is trying to give North Korea a chance to keep its promise made

in Singapore he said he will not prejudge what the president may do when

asked whether that summit is going to be the last chance the North Koreans would

get but Bolton noted the abruptly canceled high-level talks between

Pyongyang and Washington last month saying that they do not yet have Kim

jong-un in the room and that the US needs to see that happen he also

stressed a North Korea needs to show actions in order for the u.s. to

consider removing the economic sanctions

Our Underwater States of America - Duration: 4:46.

I don't think people understand that more than half of the US territory is underwater.

We have almost another nation underwater that we don't understand and rarely explore.

Off our coasts in the United States, we have these canyons.

If we could drain the water from the ocean you would see something that would dwarf the Grand Canyon.

There's almost 90 of them between Canada and South Carolina,

and I would say less than one percent of them have been explored.

The Northeast Canyons National Marine Monument was established in 2016 by the Obama administration.

The importance of its establishment is that it allows us to really study and better

understand these incredibly unique geological areas.

Every time scientists go out to these areas they're seeing things they've not seen before.

Here at the New England Aquarium we've been watching this area for decades

and we know that there is an incredible abundance of wildlife and diversity there.

[Radio Chatter]

One of our primary goals is to establish protected areas in New England's ocean.

And what's really exciting about the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts

is we're only beginning to discover what's there.

When you leave the surface, it's a new world down here, it's a different world.

There he is, swordfish.

Whoa...like, just like that.

A really large billfish came through here just now.

These are remarkable places on our planet where life aggregates and comes to be.

The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts, it's known as the Serengeti of the Atlantic.

It's a biodiversity hotspot.

It's home to about 75 different species of deep-sea corals.

It's truly extraordinary for the wildlife that it supports there.

These corals are not like shallow water reef corals you might think about.

Deep sea corals don't rely on sunlight at all.

Instead of being broad and flat like a

reef you might find in the Caribbean, they stand more up like trees.

and they put themselves out into the current.

And because they stand out into the water,

animals like to get on them.

There's lots of other animals that also want those passive particles that they could feed on.

There'll be brittle stars and crabs, shrimp, worms.

These corals interact with other animal life in a really weird way.

They allow certain animals to get on them, and other animals to not get on them.

There's communication at a tissue or cellular level that we don't understand yet

and when I think about medical procedures that require acceptance of tissue,

I think about the corals and products from the marine environment that help in medicines.

Oceans around the world are facing mounting threats from overfishing,

pollution, oil and gas drilling, and now climate change.

Climate change is impacting our oceans in ways that we're only beginning to understand.

These areas are warming 99 percent faster than any other body of water.

The ocean is the life-support system for our planet and we need to be protecting these vitally

rich and diverse areas so that we can continue to study them and we can

continue to make sure that the ocean thrives and therefore allows us to thrive.

As a scientist, I could tell you we discover something new every time we go out.

That's been my drive, to discover things, to uncover mysteries that we can then solve.

There are no other monuments like this in the Atlantic.

It's our American heritage.

It's part of our national resource, our underwater America, and there's no reason why

every American shouldn't know that we have this monument and what's in it.

Could You Become a US Military Fighter Pilot? - Duration: 7:44.

Fighter pilots around the world undoubtedly have the coolest job in history- they get

to fly across the sky in the fastest jets ever created, and rule over the air like giant

metal birds of prey.

If you want to fly some of the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world though, you're

going to have to make the move to the United States- but how exactly do you get from nothing

but a dream of soaring through the skies, to piloting the F-22 or F-35?

Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're going to take

a look at how to become a US Fighter Pilot.

Though it used to be that enlisted men could become fighter pilots, that practice has long

been out of style and today you're going to have to become an officer in order to fly

the biggest, meanest jets in the world.

That means you'll need at least a four-year degree from an accredited university, and

be at least 18 years old so you can enlist in the US military.

If joining the Air Force you'll have to undergo 12 weeks of officer school at Maxwell Air

Force Base, Alabama, while if you're a seaman you'll have to go to the Navy's Officer Candidate

School in Rhode Island.

For those jarheads out there, you'll be attending Officer Candidate School in Virginia.

But don't think that just because you're training to become an officer whom even the most senior

enlisted men will have to salute that OTS is going to be easy, because it's not.

You'll basically be going back to boot camp, and though you may end up with your officer

pips at the end, you're going to be treated like dirt for the duration.

Once at Officer training school if your dream is to pilot a multi-million dollar airplane,

you'll first need to pass qualifying tests such as the US Navy and Marine Corps Aviation

Selection Test Battery.

These tests ensure that you have the mental skills and knowledge needed to be entrusted

with the most expensive weapons ever created.

Though you can fail, it generally lessens your odds dramatically of getting a billet

as a top fighter jock to do so.

Hey- there's plenty of open spots driving mule trucks, or big, fat cargo planes if you

do though.

Next you'll need to pass all the necessary physical qualifications.

High performance aircraft require high performance people, and when your body is going to be

beaten and battered by the stresses of several G forces, you'd better be in peak physical

condition to have a chance of becoming a fighter pilot.

You'll need to be able to avoid passing out or vomiting when exposed to high G forces,

and your hearing and vision better be laser sharp as well, with uncorrected 20/20 vision.

Next you'll have to agree to the time commitment- Navy and Marine pilots must commit to at least

8 years of active duty, but the Air Force demands a long term minimum commitment of

at least 10 years.

Once you sign that contract, there's no going back- but why would you want to?

Now things get real, and you will start your initial training to become a top ace.

First will be Aviation Preflight Indoctrination, a six week program consisting of 4 weeks of

academic classes and 2 weeks of survival training- you will after all be flying over a variety

of terrains and often over enemy lines.

During your 4 weeks of academic classes you can also expect concurrent water training,

with swimming survival skills that culminate in a 1-mile swim while in a flight suit.

Your classes will include topics such as aerodynamics, weather, and navigation, with an exam given

at the end of each course.

If you fail, that's a wrap for you, and grades are extremely competitive.

Make it past the academic portion though and you'll enter the survival training phase,

during which you'll learn basic land survival, how to use survival equipment, physiology,

and first-aid.

After Aviation Preflight Indoctrination you'll be sent to primary training where you'll get

the chance to start actually flying a plane- but don't think you'll be hopping into the

seat of a multi-million dollar killing machine just yet.

You'll start out on what is known as a 'trainer' aircraft, for the navy that includes aircraft

such as the T-6B Texan II, a propeller driven aircraft that's a far cry from a modern jet.

But you'll learn essential flight skills on these underpowered planes that will prepare

you for the real deal.

During Primary you'll go through yet another series of academic classes, but intermixed

with time spent on flight simulators and actual flight time in your trainer aircraft.

You'll first learn basic flight skills and move into aerobatics, learn about the different

instruments, and how to fly in formation.

As always you'll be graded on absolutely every bit of progress you make, and failure means

you go home.

If you successfully complete Primary you'll be given the chance to fill out a 'dream sheet'

for the type of aircraft you'd like to fly.

Based on your preference, your grades, and needs of the service, you'll get an assignment

and head out for flight training based on the aircraft you've been assigned to.

For a naval aviator wanting to fly fighter jets that will include a transfer to one of

the Navy's two fighter flight schools in either Texas or Mississippi, where you'll learn to

fly the T-45C Goshawk.

Still not a fighter jet, but definitely no prop plane, the Goshawk will introduce you

to the basics of flying advanced jet aircraft.

You'll first undergo Phase 1 training, where you'll undergo much of the same training you

went through in Primary training, but with classes refined for jet aircraft.

While in Primary you may have learned how to fly in formations of two aircraft, here

you'll learn how to fly in formations of four and learn tactical formation flying.

You're now training to be a proper fighter pilot!

Phase 2 however is at last where you'll learn how to fight like a top ace, with training

on combat formation flying and the principles on unguided bombing, low altitude attacks,

and CCIP bombing- or Constantly Computed Impact Point, a system that shows you where your

payload is expected to impact depending on where and when you release it.

The last half of Phase 2 will include Air Combat Maneuvering- or dogfighting- where

you'll learn how to defend the friendly skies or take them from your enemy.

You'll learn flight skills to help you defeat an opponent 1 on 1, or even how to fight and

win against two separate attackers simultaneously.

If you're wanting to be a naval aviator you'll then head over for Carrier Qualifications-

one of the hardest flight training programs in the world.

Landing on a fast-moving carrier in the middle of the night amidst a pitching sea has often

been described as the "most terrifying" experience any pilot can undergo, but you'll

learn how to do just that.

Upon completion, or for non-Navy/USMC pilots, you'll then go to advanced training in the

jet you'll ultimately fly.

Depending on the airframe this can include air-to-ground bombing, the practice and use

of smart weapons, and advanced dogfighting tactics.

At the end of your training you'll be pitted up against your instructors with a chance

to get revenge on all the hell you've been put through as you engage in mock battle.

Becoming a US fighter pilot is a long, arduous task, with training courses developed from

decades of experience flying combat missions over unfriendly skies all around the world.

Though many will initially apply, few will ultimately receive their wings- and in fact

qualifications are so strict, that the Air Force currently has only 75% of the pilots

it needs!

That means there's room for you if you think you got what it takes to fly the most advanced

aircraft ever built!

What do you think would be the hardest part of training- the physical side or the academics?

Think you got what it takes to be a top ace?

U.S. trade deficit hits 10-year-high of US $55.5 bil. in October - Duration: 2:05.

we know the US trade deficit hit a ten-year high in October the US Commerce

Department revealed on Thursday that imports outpaced exports by more than 55

long-standing trade deficit with the rest of the world by slapping import

taxes on steel aluminum and Chinese goods

however the deficit so far this year is running almost eleven and a half percent

above January to October of 2017 however economists view the trade deficit as a

result of a stronger US economy as Americans are buying more foreign

products at the same time Americans buy more than they produce with imports

filling the gap u.s. exports are also being hurt by the American dollars role
