Add Interest "On both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger – one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles. The steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people," Trump said today in the historical Krasinski Square in Warsaw. Trump said Western countries will confront the threat of "radical Islamic terrorism," declaring, "we will win." "We must stand united against these shared enemies to strip them of their territory, their funding, their networks, and any form of ideological support," Trump said to the Polish people, whose government has taken a firm stance against accepting Syrian refugees. "While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism." Trump added, "We cannot accept those who reject our values, and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent." Trump raised Poland's historical struggles against Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union to make his case for a strong defense of the West. “The Polish experience reminds us the defense of the West ultimately rests not only on means but on the will of its people to prevail and be successful and get what you have to have,” he said. “The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?” Trump made a significant announcement in his address by saying the United States stands “firmly behind Article 5, the mutual defense commitment,” adding that “words are easy but actions are what matters.” The statement comes following criticism of Trump’s stance on NATO in the weeks prior to his trip. "Just as Poland could not be broken, I declared today for the world to hear that the West will never ever be broken. Our values will prevail. Our people will thrive,” he said.

Speaking in Krasinski Square, near the site of the 1944 Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, Mr. Trump spent much of his speech devoted to applauding the spirit and strength of the Polish people, using their repeated takeovers and occupations as a metaphor for standing up in the face of global threats. "The triumph of the Polish spirit over centuries of hardship gives us all hope in which good conquers evil and peace achieves victory over war," Mr. Trump said. Urging the crowd to all "fight like the Poles", Mr. Trump said, "Our freedom, our civilization and our survival depend on these bonds of history culture and memory and more than ever. Poland is in our heart and its people are in that fight." He added, "I declare today for the world to hear the West will never, ever be broken, our values will prevail, our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph." It was also Mr. Trump's most forceful language to date toward the Russian government, calling on Russia to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere. He also called on them to drop support for "hostile regimes" in Syria and Iran. After delivering that broadside before a friendly Polish crowd, Mr. Trump then extended an invite to Russia to join the community of responsible nations to defend against terrorism. CBS News' Margaret Brennan reports the language will resonate with Russian President Vladimir Putin who has been long been selling the idea of partnership with the U.S. to fight extremism in places like Syria. Mr. Trump never mentioned Putin by name but he is laying the groundwork for tomorrow's meeting. Mr. Trump also doubled down on his calls for NATO members to pay their fair share in defense spending, a campaign promise he reiterated during his first meeting of NATO states in Brussels two months ago. "My administration has demanded all members of NATO finally meet their full and fair financial obligation. As a result of this insistence, billions of dollars more have begun to pour into NATO, people are shocked." "Words are easy but actions are what matters," added Mr. Trump. "For its protection, everyone knows this, Europe must do more." Mr. Trump arrived in Warsaw Wednesday evening after tweeting about global trade deals shortly before he departed Washington. During his brief visit, he participated in a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda, in which he said that he's considering some "pretty severe" options in response to North Korea's intercontinental ballistic missile test this week. Mr. Trump will travel to Hamburg, Germany to take part in the G-20 summit of world leaders, and to have his first highly-anticipated meeting with Putin. The two leaders have spoken on the phone but have not yet formally met in person. They'll meet Friday on the sidelines of the summit. He'll also be meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the summit, days after North Korea successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. Mr. Trump had been counting on China to help contain the North's nuclear ambition but has been disappointed. He tweeted this week, "So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!" Leaders will also tackle trade and climate change during the summit. See live updates of the speech below: "We will never back down" Mr. Trump doubled-down on his call for NATO members to pay their fair share in defense spending, a campaign promise he reiterated during his first meeting of NATO states in Brussels two months ago. "My administration has demanded all members of NATO finally meet their full and fair financial obligation. As a result of this insistence, billions of dollars more have begun to pour into NATO, people are shocked." Mr. Trump urged NATO members to "stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual defense commitment." "Words are easy but actions are what matters," added Mr. Trump. "For its protection, everyone knows this, Europe must do more." In expanding the Western civilization's defense, it is a commitment of will, not just money, Mr. Trump said. "Do we have desire to preserve civilization in face of those who would subvert and destroy it?" He closed his speech in saying, "We can have the largest economies and the most lethal weapons but if we don't have strong families and strong values then we will be weak and we will not survive." Urging the crowd to all "fight like the Poles", Mr. Trump said, "Our freedom, our civilization and our survival depend on these bonds of history culture and memory and more than ever, Poland is in our heart and its people are in that fight." He added, "I declare today for the world to hear the west will never, ever be broken, our values will prevail our people will thrive and our civilization will triumph." Steady creep of bureaucracy drains vitality and wealth of people Mr. Trump said the best became great "not because of paperwork and regulations" but because they allowed people to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies. "Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to counter forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are," he said. He added as allies, "We put faith and family in front of government and bureaucracy." Trump calls for unity in fight against terrorism, urges Russia to stop Syria support Mr. Trump called the transatlantic bond between U.S. and Europe stronger than ever, but said there are "dire threats" to our way of life. "America and Europe have suffered one terror attack after another, were going to get it to stop," Mr. Trump said. Lauding the work done during his overseas trip to Saudi Arabia, Mr. Trump added, "We must stand united against these shared enemies to strip them of their territory, their funding, their networks, and any form of ideological support. While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind." In a rare move, Mr. Trump also urged Russia to cease its "destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere in its support in hostile regimes including Syria and Iran" and instead "join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself." "The story of Poland is a story of people who have never lost hope" Mr. Trump reflected on past invasions of Poland, calling the Nazi occupation "brutal" and "hell on earth." Mr. Trump took a moment to acknowledge and applaud veterans of the Warsaw Uprising. "What great spirit," said Mr. Trump of the living heroes. "There is a courage and a strength deep in the Polish character that no one could destroy," Mr. Trump said. Mr. Trump embraced the spirit of Polish strength, saying as those sought to "demolish freedom your faith, your laws, your identity, indeed the very essence of your culture and humanity yet through it all you never lost that spirit." "Your oppressors tried to break you but Poland could not be broken," he added. "Your spirit is great, your spirit is strong" "In dark days you may have lost your land, but you never lost your pride." Mr. Trump said. "Poland lives, prospers and prevails in the face of hardships." He added, "the triumph of the Polish spirit over centuries of hardship gives us all hope in which good conquers evil and peace achieves victory over war." Mr. Trump called Poland a symbol of hope since the beginning of the United States, adding that the two nations hold a special bond only shared between those who have fought, bled and died for freedom. Trump: "America loves Poland and the Polish people" Mr. Trump thanked Polish-Americans for support in the 2016 election. Reflecting on the backdrop of the Warsaw uprising memorial, Mr. Trump embraced a Poland that is "safe strong and free." "America is eager to expand our partnership with you, we welcome stronger ties of trade and commerce," said Mr. Trump. He added the U.S. is committed to securing access to alternate forms of energy so that way the Polish people are never "hostage" to a single supplier of energy. First lady Melania Trump delivers remarks Mrs. Trump greeted the crowd, thanking them for welcoming them to their country. Mrs. Trump reflected on visiting a science center with local children, saying it's mission was to inspire people to observe, experiment ask questions and seek answers. Mrs. Trump said Mr. Trump's focus remains on the "safety and security of the American people." "People should be able to lead their lives without fear no matter what country they live in. that is my wish for all of us around the world," added Mrs. Trump.

Trump takes stage as thousands cheer in Krasinski Square Polish residents chanted as President Trump took the stage to deliver remarks that are billed to be in defense of Western civilization and unity among Europe and the United States in the face of current events. White House officials said the speech will portray Poland as a "symbol and metaphor for the sacrifices to preserve a civilization." ||||| What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?

question:Given the question: Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a biomedical engineer from Lake Zurich, Illinois, is aboard the NASA space shuttle Explorer for her first space mission, STS-157. Veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) is commanding his final mission. During a spacewalk to service the Hubble Space Telescope, Mission Control in Houston warns the team about a Russian missile strike on a defunct satellite, which has inadvertently caused a chain reaction forming a cloud of debris in space. Mission Control orders that the mission be aborted and the crew begin re-entry immediately because the debris is speeding towards the shuttle. Communication with Mission Control is lost shortly thereafter. High-speed debris from the Russian satellite strikes the Explorer and Hubble, detaching Stone from the shuttle and leaving her tumbling through space. Kowalski, using a Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), recovers Stone and they return to the Explorer. They discover that it has suffered catastrophic damage and the rest of the crew is dead. They decide to use the MMU to reach the International Space Station (ISS), which is in orbit about 1,450Â km (900Â mi) away. Kowalski estimates they have 90 minutes before the debris field completes an orbit and threatens them again. En route to the ISS, the two discuss Stone's home life and her daughter, who died young in an accident. As they approach the substantially damaged but still operational ISS, they see that its crew has evacuated in one of its two Soyuz modules. The parachute of the remaining Soyuz has deployed, rendering the capsule useless for returning to Earth. Kowalski suggests using it to travel to the nearby Chinese space station Tiangong, 100Â km (60Â mi) away, in order to board a Chinese module to return safely to Earth. Out of air and maneuvering power, the two try to grab onto the ISS as they fly by. Stone's leg gets entangled in the Soyuz's parachute cords and she grabs a strap on Kowalski's suit, but it soon becomes clear that the cords will not support them both. Despite... The answer is:

question:News article: Hurricane Harvey evacuees can connect with Airbnb hosts offering free housing Home-sharing service Airbnb is encouraging its hosts in safe, inland parts of Texas to open their available rooms or homes for residents evacuating coastal areas and emergency relief workers needing temporary accommodations. The company has activated its disaster response program that will connect those seeking temporary, safe housing with Airbnb hosts in the San Antonio, Austin and Dallas areas through Sept. 1. RELATED: Hurricane Harvey intensifies into Category 2 hurricane, few hours left to prepare The program began in 2012 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and has grown into a global disaster response initiative, the company said. "We encourage hosts in safe, inland areas to aid in this effort by listing their available rooms or homes on the platform to help the growing number of evacuees," Airbnb''s head of global disaster response and relief said in a statement. "Our thoughts continue to be with everyone in the path of the storm, and we thank the dedicated government and emergency response personnel who are keeping our communities safe." ||||| Five hours after Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas around 10 p.m. as a Category 4 storm, it was downgraded to a Category 2 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, a decrease from 130 mph when it made landfall. Interested in Hurricane Harvey? Add Hurricane Harvey as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Hurricane Harvey news, video, and analysis from ABC News. Add Interest And Harvey was downgraded to a Category 3 storm around 1 a.m., after winds decreased to 125 mph. Harvey also made a second landfall on the northeastern shore of Copano Bay around the time it was downgraded to Category 3. The storm is the strongest to hit the state in decades, with catastrophic flooding expected. The last Category 4 storm to hit the U.S. was Charley in 2004 in Florida, while the last Category 4 storm to hit Texas was Carla in 1961. Residents staying in the area frantically stocked up on food, water and gas, while others heading out of the storm's path boarded up windows and doors of their homes and businesses. Airlines canceled flights, schools were shuttered while concerts and other planned events in Houston and coastal cities were postponed. The hurricane's effects are expected to linger for days, with heavy rainfall through next week estimated to be as high as 40 inches in some areas. TNS via Newscom "This is going to be a storm we talk about, unfortunately, for at least the next seven days," ABC News Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee said Friday on "GMA." Brian Thevenot/Reuters Here's what we know about the storm. What's ahead Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane over the northern end of San Jose Island between Port Aransas and Port O'Connor at 10 p.m. local time Friday, with sustained winds of about 130 mph and stronger gusts, according to the National Weather Service. At the time, the storm's eye was 30 miles away from the coastal city of Corpus Christi, Texas. The National Weather Service warned Harvey could bring a potentially devastating storm surge, heavy rainfall and wind hazards to the Lone Star State's coast. A tornado watch is in effect for areas of southeastern Texas and southwest Louisiana. Life-threatening storm surge waters could reach 9 to 13 feet above ground level. Catastrophic flooding is expected across parts of the area. And rainfall will be heavy, with an estimated 15 to 30 inches of rain falling in many areas and as high as 40 inches in some from today through Wednesday, the National Weather Service said. ABC News Here's a projected timeline for Hurricane Harvey thus far, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service: Saturday: Harvey roared ashore late Friday evening. The storm's path going forward remains uncertain but it is forecast to meander near or just inland of the middle of the Texas coast through the weekend. Sunday through Monday: Some forecast models show Harvey expanding across the Gulf Coast as it makes its way over southern Texas. Tuesday through Wednesday: The hurricane could, according to some models, move northeast and then re-emerge briefly over the Gulf of Mexico before making a second landfall in northeastern Texas or western Louisiana. ABC News Preparation and evacuations Storm preparation began in earnest on Wednesday and intensified on Thursday. Shoppers lined up to fill their carts with food and water, while lines for gas stretched out of many stations. Some people also got to work boarding up their homes and businesses to protect against the expected 100-plus mile per hour winds. Even the Texas Department of Transportation in Victoria boarded up its windows on Thursday. As of Friday, governors had declared states of emergencies for 30 counties in Texas and statewide for Louisiana. Corpus Christi resident Alex Garcia bought bottled water, bread and other basic grocery items in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land because they were likely more available there than back home, where stores were "crazy," he told The Associated Press. And as Houston resident Bill Pennington prepared his one-story home for another deluge in the flood-prone city, the father told The Associated Press he comforted his nervous 9-year-old son by saying, "We know how to handle it. We'll handle it again." AP The Coast Guard said Thursday it was sending shallow-depth vessels to Texas and Louisiana that are capable of responding in flooded urban areas. And with gale force winds predicted to arrive within 24 hours, the Coast Guard on Thursday also ordered a nearly total closure of ports in Houston, Texas City, Galveston, Freeport and Corpus Christi. By Friday afternoon, the Coast Guard had already completed its first search-and-rescue mission, rescuing 12 people from a 160-foot vessel near Port Mansfield, Texas. Texas officials announced mandatory evacuations for all seven counties on the coast: Calhoun County, San Patricio County, Refugio County, Brazoria County, Jackson County, Victoria County and Matagorda County. In four of those countries, officials ordered their entire county to evacuate and warned those who chose to stay behind that their rescue could not be guaranteed. Voluntary evacuations were urged for residents in other areas. While a mandatory evacuation order is not in place for Corpus Christi, Mayor Joe McComb did advise residents to voluntarily evacuate ahead of the storm.

"This may be the first major landfall hurricane we've had since 2005," Long said in an interview on "Good Morning America" Friday. "So there's going to be damage." As of Friday morning, FEMA had amassed more than 96,000 liters of water, 306,000 meals and 4,500 tarps at incident support bases in Seguin and Fort Worth, Texas, as well as in Camp Beauregard, Louisiana, should the states need them. Storm preparations have extended to New Orleans, where FEMA said it's working to make sure the Louisiana city's pumps are functioning in anticipation of the seven to 10 inches of rainfall expected there. The National Guard is also readying 500,000 sandbags, FEMA said. More than 120,000 people have lost power in the Corpus Christi area as a result of Hurricane Harvey so far. ABC News How officials are responding Politicians and officials have taken a proactive approach to the storm. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday night that he had discussed storm preparation with President Donald Trump, as well as with the heads of FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. On Friday, Abbott sent a letter to Trump requesting a presidential disaster declaration in anticipation of Hurricane Harvey. “Granting this request will provide Texans the additional resources needed to protect themselves, their property and rebuild their lives if necessary after Hurricane Harvey,” Abbott said in a statement. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said at the press briefing Friday afternoon that Trump is planning to visit Texas "early next week." Many state and local officials have urged residents to pay attention to evacuation orders, as it will be too late to leave once the storm hits. Spoke with Pres.

At the request of the Governor of Texas, I have signed the Disaster Proclamation, which unleashes the full force of government help! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 26, 2017 Texas' hurricane history The storm is already being compared to Hurricane Bret, which hit Texas on Aug. 22, 1999. That storm made landfall in Kenedy County, just south of Corpus Christi, according to the National Weather Service -- a path that was similar to the one forecast for Hurricane Harvey. Here's a timeline of some of the recent hurricanes to hit Texas and the damage they caused: Hurricane Bret (Aug. 22, 1999): The Category 3 storm made landfall on a Sunday evening about 60 miles south of Corpus Christi. Luckily, the area is sparsely populated compared to Corpus Christi, and so problems were limited. Central Kenedy County received more than 15 inches of rain over two days, according to the NWS. The storm did about 88 million in damages in 2017 figures. Four Americans died in the storm. Hurricane Claudette (July 15, 2003): While Claudette came ashore as only a Category 1 storm with maximum winds of 90 miles per hour, it did extensive damage after coming ashore at Port O'Connor, about 100 miles northeast of Corpus Christi, and moving inland across Calhoun County, according to the NWS. Two people were killed. Hurricane Rita (Sept. 24, 2005): The last Category 3 storm to make landfall in Texas was Rita, though it did so much farther north than Harvey is expected to land. Rita, which hit just three weeks after Hurricane Katrina, made landfall right along the Texas-Louisiana border with sustained winds of 120 miles per hour. The town of Center, Texas -- near Nacogdoches -- received 10.48 inches of rain in the storm, but it moved quickly through the area, limiting rainfall accumulation. Still, 59 people from Texas were killed in the storm, according to the NWS, and a number of others died in a bus accident during evacuations. Hurricane Ike (Sept. 13, 2008): Ike, the last hurricane to make landfall in Texas, hit near Galveston as a Category 2 storm after decimating areas of the Caribbean in the week prior with winds as high as 145 miles per hour. By the time it hit Galveston, winds were at a sustained maximum of 110 miles per hour, according to the NWS. The massive size of Ike resulted in substantial rainfall totals for the area. The highest total was 18.9 inches near Spring Creek, south of Houston, according to the NWS. Some sensors measuring storm surge actually failed due to salt water, according to a NOAA report, but the highest total was 17.5 feet in Chambers County.

answer:Airbnb has activated its disaster response program in Texas to help anyone affected by Hurricane Harvey, which was downgraded to a Category 2 storm a few hours after making landfall. As the largest storm to hit the state in decades, with catastrophic flooding predicted, Airbnb's program aims to connect those seeking temporary housing with local hosts offering free rooms in safe, inland areas. This program began in 2012 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and is still ongoing as the storm lingers in the affected region.
question:Steven David Daines (born August 20, 1962) is an American businessman, entrepreneur, and the junior United States Senator from Montana. He was the United States Representative for Montana's at-large congressional district from 2013 to 2015. In the 2014 election, he won an open U.S. Senate seat, defeating Democrat Amanda Curtis. Does this next sentence follow, given the preceding text? Steven Daines defeated an independent candidate in the 2014 election.
answer:Even though the preceding text does not specifically mention Steven Daines defeating an independent candidate in the 2014 election, it is possible that he did face an independent candidate in that election. The text mainly focuses on Daines's victory over the Democratic candidate, Amanda Curtis, for the open U.S. Senate seat in Montana. However, just because the text does not mention an independent candidate does not mean that one did not run in the election. Typically, in American elections, there are multiple candidates representing different political parties. While the main competition is usually between Democratic and Republican candidates, it is common for independent candidates and candidates from minor parties to participate. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that there might have been other candidates, including an independent candidate, in the 2014 election race. To confirm whether Steven Daines defeated an independent candidate in the 2014 Senate election along with Amanda Curtis, it would be necessary to consult additional sources, such as official election results or news articles from that time. These would provide more detailed information on all the candidates who participated in the election and their respective vote share.
