i am so pleased to introduce the air quality administrator for the department of air quality.e administrator has led the efforts to improve the quality and implement the clean air act since 2015. before serving the air quality administrator she worked at the wyoming attorney general's office and in that office served as the assistant attorney the ay general and represented the division of air quality and have broad experience where she handled a wide variety of civil and environmental matters. they served the state very well for which we are grateful. due to the unique location, geography and resources, wyoming eight flexibility to implement the act and i look forward to during your testimony today and listen as you explain the challenges faced by the state of wyoming and implementing the clean air act and how the epa can better partner with the states specifically wyoming to solve the challenges. so, welcome and thank you for being here and for your willingness to testify. >> i would like to recognize senator carper for an introduction. >> we are welcoming back sean to the en

effect on our air quality? >> definitely the international effect and this is still an evolving area of science both on the ozone and on the visibility. the modeling that wyoming did and other western states for the first round of regional haze showed that visibility in the west was impacted by international transport of pollutants. the ozone modeling that epa conducted for the cross-state air pollution rule update looked at pollution and as we dove into that modelling, we realized there is still an area that needs to be examined with international transport. it does effect. last week at our meeting we heard from a speaker that talked about reduction in international pollution, may help solve the ozone issues that other states are experiencing and so yes, international transport is important. >> and then director alteri, just to ask if you would like to weigh in a little bit, anything you would like to add to what administrator vehr had to say and can you talk about how the state of kentucky has been affected b

answers rate since the clean air act was amended in 1970 emissions of the most common air pollutantsave fallen by an average of 70% even as their economy grew. the economic benefits will total $2 trillion. newer finer refiner cookman reduces waste and improves worker safety and also improves the health of people in nearby neighborhoods. electric vehicle technology for cars trucks and school buses has cut greenhouse gases and smog emissions. federal and state efforts provides minimum standards and resources and states tailor solutions for their individual communities. unfortunately today this relationship has been put in jeopardy. through a series of recent redaction's is attempting to weaken the safeguards. statesmen forced to sell resources. i will provide several examples and i have are guided more in my written remarks. in adopting the clean air act gives california the option to develop its own emission standards. california has technical expertise and experience that drives innovation. using this framework 13 states including california automakers and the federal government have

of the syrian air force. that is a remarkable number if it is true suggesting how degraded the air force was at that moment a year ago. we know that frankly it must surely have been openly displaying or boasting of its air power so it is possible that the things that the syrian government is dependent is the building blocks of existence here. they could be damaged enough to inflict across that is felt still months ahead. if you start filling that do you at some point risk hitting iran troops, russian troops. there have been statements suggesting they may have been killed in that particular blast widening the scope of conflict here. it shows you how many different fors are involved here, what we are talking about and the frequency. >> yeah. we are also back with jim. you have been covering this as much as anyone. just in terms of the difficulty of finding targets long term, if this to be as the president said a multi-national sustained effort, i assume he is not just talk about militarily. at a certain point t

the court yard, we don't have central air. the only air we got is from the courtyards. the pollution as others will talk about is going to increase. there is a 15% increase on one of our courtyards. >> commissioner: your time is up. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm cecelia lim and the hoa president. i'm speaking on behalf of our owners and residents to oppose the proposed project as currently designed. the project a reg -- rectangular block will form a barrier and block sunlight and air flow causing harmful solutions to collect there and build up. the project would increase [indiscernible] concentrations in our courtyard in an air pollution exposure zone we're already exposed to air that poses a health risk and this will no doubt have further adverse consequences for our health. of particular concern are the units facing the center courtyard which will be boxed in by the project. these units get the fresh air from the courtyard. we do not have forced ventilation. with the project blocking out the wind, the units will have stale air further degraded by the ad

the first location is the meza air base in the southern part of damascus. very large air base. dozens of hangars there, that would be a command and control facility. the second location is in jemraya. that is in the northern part of the city. it appears as though this was a special forces republican guard command and control facility. again i want to stress in keeping with what keir said, in keeping with what richard said, there's been a lot of time to clear out these facilities but again, these are the facilities we're hearing that why hit. the third facility is in barza in eastern syria. those three sites were pummeled 35 minutes ago. eight explosions in damascus. >> thank you very much. we are piecing together from the various sources of information we can get, both eyewitnesses like cal was talking to there, an eyewitness in damascus, western damascus, a journalist who was able to get on the phone, got there, also reports from news services. i should tell you in less than ten minutes we are expecting to get a briefing from the u.s. military, the defense department at the pe

any additional impacts will deteriorate the air quality further and deteriorate the air hazards for the local residents. as displayed in table 13 and summarized in table one, there was an increase in pm 2.5 concentrations in the center courtyard, and an increase about 14.5 to 15% in the inner courtyard. t [ inaudible ] -- however, the cumulative 3-2.5 levels are higher than considered reasonable for residential projects. going on further, there was no review of the construction impacts and according to trinity, that makes this incomplete. so i just want to just, if i could just show you quickly -- does this turn on? >> john. >> what -- what this picture shows is from the ramble report, and this is with the building, and you'll notice that there's a lot of yellow and stuff, and that indicates increase in pm 2.5. here is the -- before. there's a lot less. >> clerk: thank you, sir. your time is up. >> one last thing -- >> president hillis: that's all, sir. unfortunately, we only have -- >> all right. >> president hillis: three minutes perspeaker. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. ca

the royal air forces at the forefront of the air and space and cyber...d there is great technology there. we also set a great example of challenging young people, and giving them opportunities and allowing them to develop themselves. we want to inspire young people to get out there, inspire up to 2 million young people, the ages of nine to 15 primarily, and use raf 100 as a launch platform to help them develop their opportunities. it is real about making those connections with young people. you mention nine to 15—year—olds, connecticut back to that time, what was inspiring you at that time, what was inspiring you at that stage to think about the royal air force as a possible career? was that they thought in your mind goes my personal journey started that they thought in your mind goes my personaljourney started earlier than that. my father had been in the raf trainee second world war. he bought me a ladybird book which was the airmen and the royal air force. i thought that was fantastic, and through his example, and through what i saw through the raf‘s hi

they called the vitality air. >> we believe that we're the first company in the world to be selling air to consumers >> reporter: each can has 160 one-second shots of air and costs around $20 to $25. >> what do you think >> oh, it's -- sweet >> reporter: after starting in june 2015, vitality air's 2016 sales hit $230,000 what was the biggest disagreement you've had? >> to date >> reporter: moses lamb and troy piquet acknowledge they are opposites. >> i could live out here i don't need the wi-fi and the cell phones and everything like that i can live in this kind of environment. >> i could live here but i need wi-fi. >> reporter: i love those guys china is their largest market, so they've expanded and have a subsidiary gathering air in the mountains of south korea the best part of the business model so far, becky, the air doesn't cost them anything they collect it for free >> i have so many questions, jane first of all, i think about the places where i can recognize the smell of the air or when you breathe it in, you know where you are. you said it smelled sweet. could you quantify that?

the royal air force is at the front of air, space and cyber, so there's great technology there. we also, i think, set a great example of challenging young people and giving them opportunities and allowing them to develop themselves. so we are aiming to combine those all together and get out there, inspire up to two million young people, aged nine to 15 primarily, but beyond that as well, and use raf 100 as a sort of launch platform to help them develop opportunities and realise their aspirations. so it is really about making those connections with young people, where ever we can, across the country. you mention 9—15. can i take you back to the time when you were between nine and 15. what was inspiring you at that stage, to think about the royal air fforce as a possible career? was that thought in your mind then? i have to say my personaljourney started earlier than that. i think probably when i was about four—years—old, when my father, who had been in the royal air force during the second world war, bought me a ladybird book which was the airman in the royal air force. i thought

he continued to air his opinion.d where he thought the legal basis for a strike would come from and this is what he had to say. basis for a strike would come from and this is what he had to saylj was so and this is what he had to saylj was so to the foreign secretary and the prime minister, where is the legal basis for this? humanitarian, they say. it would have to be self defence of the authority of the un security council. the humanitarian aspect is legally debatable and i would have thought from the point of recalling parliament awaiting two days, things could have been different, but it looked awfully to me as if the prime minister was more interested in following donald trump is matt lead than anything else. this is policy made up by the twitter. so clearly suggesting that theresa may is being led by donald trump. so what about the statement that the prime minister will give tomorrow? gerry mccolgan says that parliament should have been recalled and there should be a vote for whatever happens next. he wants a un

sit a lack of air flow? >> just as the folks have pointed out you are putting the building that can -- it changes the patterns. that's why you see in the west courtyard you see a decrease but then in the central and east courtyard you see an increase because of the various air flow patd -- patterns. >> commissioner: in percentage of increase, can you qualify that. you have the numbers in the chart but -- >> so we're talking about the east courtyard -- >> commissioner: the central courtyard. >> okay. the increase there is .031 micrograms per cubic meter and the threshold the city established is .2. and if you would like to have a greater understanding of what that means, the clean air act and the federal clean air act both establish a pm .25 standard of 12. that includes background levels and everything. so the .2 threshold is the project's contribution to that overall amount. >> commissioner: okay. thank you. and in the design -- and i appreciate your presentation, but so if bay quest were to be built today,

into the royal air force.pril 1980 observed that today the two wings of the air servers become one. an old rivalry which perhaps was not without its value as a stimulus to both sections but lost in confusion much more than that achieved by healthy competition is ended. there is a single control and an identity of uniform. nothing is more significant than the haptic played among rmn amongst the dense german reinforcements converging on the front. —— the havoc played among our airmen. the headlines on bbc news... comedian eddie izzard joins labour's ruling committee — and says the party must stamp out anti—semitism. it comes as labour denies having any official links to facebook groups forjeremy corbyn supporters where anti—semitic comments have been posted. pope francis has called for an end to what he says is "carnage" in syria and for humanitarian aid to be allowed to reach the vulnerable. two goals from pierre—emerick aubameyang for arsenal, the first penalty on the 75th minute and the second ten minutes lat

the world air force and french air force. i thought it was an impressive effort.ble and now we will be getting the battle damage assessment and determining what the next stepping will be in the near term. pete: yeah, general, from what i understanding have you blown this b-1. it is an escalation from tomahawk missiles. it's one thing to launch a missile from a destroyer or submarine. it's another thing to put an american in the cockpit dropping bombs when we know russia supplied bombs with air defensive assets. was it a risky move and was it enough? >> well, it's always a risk when you put our young men and women in harm's way. and by the way let me say also how proud we should be of our men and women in uniform as they, again, choose to go into harm's way. but, again, it was a more complex mission as you mentioned from obviously the t lambs came from the sea base forces as well as air forces. it is complex but also one we are organized, trained, equipped and led and able to conduct these missions to take as much risk outs of them as we possibly can. griff: genera

if you take out the air force of another country then thatis air force of another country then that isave the possibility of coming into contact and clashes with russia and the russian airforce and clashes with russia and the russian air force is also their and the last thing we need to do is a contained civil war extending to an intrastate war. that works against everybody‘s interest and i certainly hope that isn't anything the president is contemplating. we have been hearing that president trump, his allies with regards to the situation in syria, a conversation on the telephone with emmanuel macron, few think you would have heard from israel in evidence of their intervention, if it is then?|j would their intervention, if it is then?” would give about a 90% probability, not all the way through because israel is famous for going it alone on things they consider to be their national interest but i am certain if they didn't, they wouldn't quickly thereafter because they wouldn't make sure they co—ordinated and didn't get in the way of anything we might have had planned. by anything we mi

u.s., british and french naval and air forces were involved in the operation. and for reasons of operational security, i won't be more specific this evening. before we take questions. >> would like ato dress how this strike will qualitatively and quantitatively different than 2017. last year we conducted a strike on a single site. the focus was on the aircraft associated with the syrian chemical weapons attack in april of 2017. this evening we conducted strikes with two allies on multiple sites that will result in a long term degradation ever syrian capability to research and develop and employ chemical and biological weapons. important infrastructure was destroyed which will result in a setback for the syrian regime and lose years of research and development data, specialized equipment and expensive chemical weapons precursors. the strike was not only a strong message to the regime that their actions were inexcusable, but it also inflicted maximum damage without unnecessary risk to innocent civilians and with that the secretary and i would be glad to take your

last year we saw the united states launching an air attack on an air base in syria, supposedly to depletein hours, syrian warplanes were taking off again from that airbase. the efficiency of isolated air strikes, i think, is questionable. it might make the west feel as if action has been taken, but i don't think syria needs gesture actions like this. it may also have an effect in what increasingly appears like a macho strongman stand—off between president trump and putin. but that should not be the function of uk foreign policy. it should not be dictated by the interests of president trump, but it should be dictated by the interests of the syrian people in this respect, and should be sanctioned by the uk parliament. i certainly regret the fa ct parliament. i certainly regret the fact that parliament was not involved in this decision. i hope 110w involved in this decision. i hope now there is a full debate in the house of commons and that there is an agreement on the part of the prime minister that if there is to be any further change the role of uk forces in syria, and that role and of co

in the air, two b-1 bombers fired 19 joint air-to-surface stand off missiles. in addition, the british allies flew a combination of tornadoes and typhoons and launched eight missiles. our french allies flew marriages and launched nine scalp missiles. the attacks were able to overwhelm the syrian air defense system. it's important to note we flew a variety of defensive counter air, tanker and electronic warfare aircraft in support of the operations. none of our aircraft or missiles involved were successfully engaged by syrian air defenses. we have no indication russian air defense systems were deployed. we are confident all missiles reached their target. in the end, all our aircraft returned to their bases. we assess over 40 surface-to-air missiles were deployed by the syrian regime. most occurred after the last impact of our strike was over. it is likely the regime shot many missiles on a ballistic trajectory. i mean without guidance. the efforts of syria were largely ineffective and increased risk to their own people. when you shoot iron into the air without g

russia claims israel has carried out an air strike on a syrian air base. the russian defense ministry says israel struck from lebanon without entering syrian airspace. there is no response yet from israel. this comes amid heightened tensions in syria after an alleged chemical attack on a former rebel stronghold outside damascus. >>> well, on tuesday, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg will be grilled by members of the u.s. congress about the data controversy his company is confronting. information from some 87 million users was allegedly harvested by the data company cambridge analytica without their knowledge. meanwhile, the social media giant has announced more changes to its site to stop election meddling. >> in a post on friday, a facebook post, mark zuckerberg said this. these steps by themselves won't stop all people from trying to game the system, but they will make it a lot harder for anyone to do what the russians did during the 2016 election and use fake accounts and pages to run ads. cnn's laurie siegle sorts it all out for us, what it means for your

air strikes against syrian targets or israeli air strikes against syrian targets. this is a system that the russians the s four hundred. around the world at the moment and therefore it's particularly vulnerable i think to the kind of incident that we're seeing at the moments where were actually be used properly and fail that would be a bad sign for russian military technology and i think perhaps militaries around the world who are interested in buying the s four hundred would then perhaps consider whether that was a good idea or not you know russia is growing increasingly isolated on the world stage one wonders whether the u.k. would have been so quick to get on board this action had the script poisoning of the former you russian spy in england not happened and made it very personal for you for the u.k. . but i think this is all part of the general context that is going on at the moment you know we have see the u.k. and the u.s. . puts the script file case and the use of chemical weapons in syria in kind of the same box and what links the is russia and so i think t

their specific parts of the clean air act. under the clean air act, it's what i would consider privacy to states. it's not a base rule at all, aesthetics based rule. clean water act, their substantial delegation to the states. we need to be an active practical cooperation with the state on a day-to-day basis. there are regions to be, to achieve good outcomes with respect environment. we have given life to that. over 30 states, i don't know how many at this point but deq is an dnr working with are regions and with headquarters to advance these principles. we are seeing tremendous progress. where sending progress in the process we go through on the designation. i'm very encouraged in that regard. it has been a priority for us as we had led the agency. >> overall how effective is the u.s. protecting the vibrant and growing the economy and improving peoples lives? >> well look, i think we do it, i actually think we do it better than anyone in the world between the balance and growth in being good and by mental stewards. we reduced

in the air, two lancer bombers fired 19 joint air to surface stand—off missiles.itish allies flew a combination of tornados and typhoons and launched eight storm shadow missiles and french allies flew a combination of raffaella and mirages and scud missiles and taken together, these attacks on multiple axes were able to under —— overwhelm the defence system. we flew a variety of defensive counter air tankerand variety of defensive counter air tanker and electronic warfare aircraft in support and none of the aircraft in support and none of the aircraft or missiles involved were successfully engaged by syrian air defences. and we have no indication that russian air defence systems were deployed. we are confident that all of our missiles reached their target. at the end of the strike mission, all aircraft safely returned to their bases. we assessed that over 40 surface—to—air missiles were employed by the syrian regime, most of these lodges occurred after the last impact of our strike. it is likely that the regime shot many of his missiles on a holistic trajectory, a

the first one to establish air superiority and then you go to air supremacy where you are not threatened at all. the very first targets certain where the sa two missiles the russian built missiles that can shoot 80000 feet into the sky that are now mostly i would assume destroyed and then there's a variety of lesser capable air defense missiles that the syrians have provided by the russians that were probably targeted in the very first wave of attacks. then their command the controls of a can't communicate and coordinate a response in the go after the targets that we were just talking about where you really want to hit. first you have to clear the way using your jets and your bombers and then you have your b-1 and b-2 bombers with your joint direct attack munitions, very precision guided munitions that penetrate deep into the concrete hardened facilities. that is kind of how this i think laid out and of course the tomahawk cruise missiles probably one in first on the air defense because they are unmanned and that is the most risky phase of this initially. of course it's all risky but the

force that struck the syrian air base the israelis have hit that air base before they get so in february they did so then they said because the iranian revolutionary guard corps is using the base for a war or support to its operations in syria and the israelis have long said that the iran revolutionary guard corps operations and presence in syria constitutes a threat to israeli national security so i think i think almost everyone assumes it was the israelis let's bring in a hide hide there in london i mean what's your take on this missile strike on the syrian airbase in response to this alleged chemical attack i mean trump had warned that be a big price to pay so what is this big price them. well the big prize before was a one off on. was used to carry. at this point it's not clear what the american reaction would be like because just a week ago the administration said that they are planning to withdraw from syria now what's happening in syria is making the switch an even more complicated uncertainty is the only thing that everyone is sharing right now because if the americans will decid

if you have a statute, clean water act, cleaner air act, what. the indicate may be, the statute says one thing, and a regulation is untethered to the statute, if you're the regulating community, what do you respond to? the rule or the snot and that kind of -- or the snot statute? and that drove the market playing. we're making process. he regulatory reform agenda is not just to address those rules and quote taus but to provide replacement. a replacement rule coming out next month with respect to wears of the united states rule. ... >> to withdraw a rule or resend the rule to take steps is arduous but not impossible. that is addressed to jurisdictional information. that statute is in question. >> that can actually be accelerated. but with durability you cannot guarantee that. you just have to deal with the process and what rules bear out. we know that provide some measure of certainty. >> as attorney general from oklahoma now you are on the other side? >> and to be involved in response of direct response so as we go forward in that framework of th
