mr. simon's question of the tool that could have a discriminatory component. >> i want to add in there, thankyou, matt, to add to what the district attorney is saying. we are currently evaluating our instrument and the half of dozen factors includes a current charge, felony, and the unemployed, drug abuse and having an opinion case. which i think is perhaps much different than say 10 years ago. and we are validating this information now in terms of comparing it to the mounds of data we have, if anything, any volunteer researchers out there. who want -- it really requires a lot of work and scrutiny. but i think it echoes what the district attorney is saying. we are mindful of the jails have been disproportionately african-american, hispanic, we are mindful the fact it's been really poor folks we have been dealing with. and it's obviously that our basis, our history is coming from the social service side. but i want to reiterate that those are the factors that the risk assessment tool is starting to look at and zeroing in on pretrial release. >> professor simon, historically ini in california w

. >> mr. simon kirby. >> thank you, mr. speaker. yesterday i presented a petition to the department of health calling for 420 million pounds for redevelopment and brightened. does the prime minister agree with me that this money would make a real difference to patients right across suffix at my local hospital? >> well i understand that the business case for the 420 million pounds redevelopment of the regional center of teaching and trauma care of a hospital in brighton, that is currently being considered. we can only consider because this government decided not to cut the nhs budget put extra resources into the nhs and that show when it is presented an announcement will be made. >> tax cuts for millionaires, tax cuts for the wealthiest in this country, at the same time as millions are denied the right to work and most people who are hard-working -- pay cut by 1500 pounds. when is this government, the privileged -- [shouting] millionaires minister going to do something -- instead of being the political goods for the hedge funds and t

mr. simons, richard simons, who came to a veteran center, was turned away yesterday. homeless veterans in houston who need the veteran service centers are being turned away as of wednesday because all of these veteran centers are being closed down. the farmer in iowa, john gilbert, has 770 acres, he's working every day but he can't get his agriculture resources because the department of agriculture is shut down. a family resource center that's dealing with family domestic violence is no more because they cannot get their federal dollars. then, of course, the u.s. attorney's office is seeing 4,000 u.s. attorneys shut down. 3,000 lockheed employees laid off. 3,000 nasa employees laid off. and so i believe that it is important that we recognize that we are not here for ourselves. we're here for the families whose loved ones layed down their life in afghanistan. and where we call it a -- laid down their life in afghanistan. and whether we call it a clean bill, it needs to be put on the floor of the house because we cannot run the government by playing legos. we can't thro

"the times" reporting that speaker boehner told colleagues that he would be willing to take elm diddic and republican votes in order to prevent a default and saying that he would not allow the united states to default. we've now asked the speaker's office for a comment on that story. we're not getting a denial from speaker boehner's office on this story. here's what we are getting. a statement from the spokesman. speaker boehner has always said that the united states will not default on its debt. but if we're going to raise the debt limit, we need to deal with the drivers of our debt and deficits. that's why we need a bill with cuts and reforms to get our economy moving again. so boehner's office not denying that he's told colleagues that he does not want the yat united states, won't let it happen and will take both democratic and republican votes to make it happen. >> thank you. gene, is that evidence enough for you?
