mr counter's main feature is he's unknown to the public and he has no put it really political experience so he's divide a compromise between the left leaning. the right wing populist league because he would not interfere with their put it to. haggling and mingling so he is a law professor these educated the united states and france he worked in great britain so he traveled a lot he has seen the world but italy he's relatively unknown the never held public office. nobody knows exactly why he agreed to take this job he hasn't had a public yet and still you'd need confirmation by the president of italy is the middle rela and also the parliament has to vote a vote of confidence is scheduled for the end of the week and our president and parliament likely to vote for a prime minister with no political experience who will not get involved in politics . the populist coalition has a huge majority in the parlor. so there's no question that he will get the votes there and also the italian public is supporting this odd couple of legal chain cristela sixty percent of the people behind this coalition

mr. strozk countered even if trump's chances of victory of low, lie dying before you are 40, the stakes are too high to justify inaction. well, that is laughable and it proves our point. the deep state, the top players not rank and file desperately trying to spin all of this damning, all of this incriminating evidence. another new breaking story to tell you about tonight. anonymous government sources have been repeatedly leaking to the media details about the f.b.i. informant who did spy on the trump campaign. at the same time, they are accusing president, republican, even people like me of putting this informant's life in danger. i have known his name for a full week. this is the latest example from "washington post." bigger than watergate. trump joins push by allies to expose the role of an f.b.i. source. they are falsely smearing not only the president and congressional republicans and yours truly. no, we are trying to conduct an investigation, congress is. they have constitutional oversight authority. they are supposed to do this. in the process, "washington post" as bias as they are is

a counter narrative to what mr. mueller is doing. and when he said a year ago he believed the president obama had wire-tapped him. he never gave evidence of that. now rudy giuliani is connecting that to the latest report of an informant. which as we know from reports, this was the academic who lived in london who was asked by the fbi to meet with carter page and george papadopoulos to see after the fbi had learned they had contacts with russians, they were concerned about that and wanted to get more information on it. and you had christopher wraiy testify in congress this week saying if this person's identity is disclosed, we can't keep them safe. and america will be less safe if this person's identity is disclosed. so you almost could see this setting up a showdown between hill republicans supporting president trump, trying to protect him from this probe, in a showdown with christopher wray, a trump appointee who wants to keep the fbi informants safe, which would be interesting to watch. >> kevin, go ahead. >> interesting to say the

mr. president, recently i was at the pharmacy counter at a grocery store in maine, and the couple in front of me decided not to accept the prescription that they needed because the co-pay of $111 was more than they could afford. and i could not help but wonder if they hadn't used their insurance, would they have been able to purchase that drug at a lower price? it's so counterintuitive that very few customers are going to think to ask the pharmacist that question. i first learned about these gag clauses from pharmacists in maine who were so frustrated that they were prohibited from providing their patients with information on the most cost-effective way for them to purchase the medication that they had been prescribed. pharmacists are barred from speaking up, and those who do face penalties for doing so. pharmacists are on the front lines in helping patients manage multiple medications, and they would like to also help ensure that their patients are getting the best, most affordable price. the first bill that we've introduced, the patient right to know drug prices act, which is senate bill

mr. chairman. i want to thank the committee for including language that will authorize the department of defense to include the role of women in their research on the national strategy on countering violent extremism. mr. chairman, we're learning that women are active agents deterring or engaging in violent extremist movements. a that women 2017 report by the organization futures without violence found that several contemporary organizations, for example the islamic state and boko haram, capitalize on women's efforts and demonstrate keen awareness of the strategic and tactical potential of female extremists. while many, many more women are victims of terrorism, some are serving as supportive wives and mothers to the next generation of extremists. as s are acting propagandas, fundraisers, and suicide bombers. the apparent proliferation of female actors and extremist groups often underestimated call for as propagandas, fundraisers, and suicide strategies that effectively counter their participation in violent extremism. thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from washington reserves. mr. smith: i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from washington yields b

mr rouhani in iran. he has said getting rid of america's mischievous presence will be fine for iran but he has also said iran has a plan to counter so which are you more concerned with? there was a division within the iranian political elite with respect to the nuclear agreement from the very beginning. the hardliners did not want to submit. but others thought it was in the best interests of the regime and it opens the way for the normalisation of iran's economic and trade relations with western europe. today the hardliners are now saying their prediction about unreliability of the us seems to be the case today. and rouhani in order to demonstrate his commitment to the regime is taking a difficult and hard position towards the us. so his position has got to be understood in the context of factional competition within iran, so it is this with both sides depending on their audiences and also on the position of president trump in about a week. talking about unreliability and you have said the hardliners have said this about the us‘s unreliability, but what but what about what the president has said, about not living up to the spirit

counter information warfare. nor had it recruited a single analyst who speaks russian. mr. speaker, the administration needs to take this threat seriously and act with appropriate urgency. i introduced legislation to clarify responsibilities for the the g.e.c. and expand its hiring authorities and establish stronger congressional oversight. the g.e.c. has a crucial role to play understanding, exposing foreign propaganda and disinformation efforts. i urge my colleagues to join us to ensure we are better prepared to counter all efforts to interfere in our electoral process. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does gentlelady from indiana seek recognition? >> permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mrs. brooks: i rise today during national police week to remember all members of law enforcement who have given their lives to protect and serve others. the national law enforcement officers' memorial displays the names of law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty. one of the names added this year was lieut

counter argument as to why the agency determination was wrong. >> what do you make of what he said? >> there are two issues. one is the issue that mr. discrepancy between the president's sworn statement and personal financial disclosure. so that is one issue. but the other issue is the legal one that you know, his conduct is being referred to the department of justice for potential prosecution. >> how come the office of government ethics refers to something like this. >> not common at all. the ultimate letter to the department of justice is very, very out of the ordinary. you know, what appears to have happened is the president tries to sneak in the debt to mr. cohen, footnote on page 40-something of his report. since you provided enough information we'll let it go. but then of course sent the letter to the department of justice also saying note this want reported last year as it should have been. >> why wouldn't the president have to disclose the exact amount. saying it was anywhere between $100,001. and then 250,000. >> the use of the range is okay. but the discrepancy is hard to explain. it may be that the number mr. giuliani gav

form eight is basically they go over-the-counter and these people who submit permits sign up and random plan checkers endd up calling them so they don't know, like mr o'riordan said, they don't know the past issue with the project. but director tom hugh is pushing this program and this will transform into the plan eight. into the plan checkers going to look at the past information and records, that when they enter the project into the system, it lists all the projects, who the plan checkers are, what projects are at issue in what the scope of work is so that when we are on the counter and checking the projects we can identify what these projects are and to approved them. with it starting september 4th, that will alleviate all these serial permits for form eight. >> thank you. you know, we are all big supporters of getting it up and running.

mr. cory teague, zoning administrator. >> good evening again, president fung, commissioners. cory teague for planning department staff. just very briefly, the planning department did review the subject permit over the counter and approved it over the counter on february 16 of this year. the planner did note that the proposed retaining wall was no higher than 36 inches, and that is principlely permitted within the rear yard and would have not triggered any additional review or public notice. just fyi regarding the fence that was discussed, even i don't believe it's part of this -- technically part of this permit, you can have a rear yard fence up to 10 feet in height and comply with the planning code, but i'm available for any questions you may have. >> mr. teague, what in the planning code deals with good neighbor fences? >> i don't think we have anything in the code that deals directly. we allow fences within the yard. like i said, within the rear yard, they're allowed to be up to 10 feet high. other yards and set backs have different requirements. >> thank you. mr. joseph duffy, dbi. >> commissioners, joe duffy, dbi. the permit under appeal is to comply with notice of violation 2017-25951 to reduce under

counter pursue that aim through aggressive actions by its military services. instead of becoming a respected great nation, it risks becoming a more isolated pariah. in the speech mr need betterjokes and better explanations before this story goes away. here's the latest analysis from the bbc security correspondent frank gardner. andrew parker's stinging criticism on the kremlin is the most unusual thing about this beach, because he has also talked about the threat from international terrorism, but he has never been quite so fixed visit enlisting rusher‘s alleged bad behaviour around the world. he says that it risks becoming an international pariah, and yet he looks forward to the day when he says, when britain can have cordial relations with russia. one of the things that he specifically pointed out was what he called the fog of deception of lies around the salisbury nerve agent attack. it is important to remember that russia denied responsibility for that, and that the british government believes that the british government believes that there is nobody, no other credible suspect that russia had got to be behind the poisoning of surrogate skip all, a former intel

mr. chairman. for over three years, saudi arabia-led coalition has been bombing yemen to counter iranian-backed huthi militia. we have been helping the saudis, in other words helping and helping a lot. our refueling assistance to the saudi-led coalition is governed by something called the acquisition and cross servicing agreement, or acsa, i think pt the united states has such an agreement with both saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the secretary of defense is authorized to enter into these agreements with any non-nato country, and it must notify congress 30 days before it signs such an agreement. secretary mattis, can you give me a ballpark number for how many acquisition and cross servicing agreements that the united states has entered into with other countries? >> i'll have to take it for the record and i think i can get back to you very quickly on that, senator warren. this was, as you know, a decision by the previous administration that we inherited, reviewed, and endorsed. >> so, what i'm trying to get at, though, is how many of these agreements -- you don't even have a ballpark for wh

while it's counter intuitive for elects officials to give up power was the theory that i subscribed to. as it turned out, the board of supervisors exempted itself from the process, but as mr. reiskin, you can -- i'm not going to put you on the spot -- attest to, it became a solely owned branch of the vicissitudes of whoever owned it at the time, and checks and balances be darned. i watched that in many inkarnations. i mean no ill will towards or former mayor, accommodating all too readily google buses or tnc's, and none of that, regardless of what we heard from taxi drivers who were being driven out of work or whatever was in the realm of the legislative branch to discuss, have any influence over. so when supervisor safai came expressing these concerns, i said something that's a little unlikely. i said help break it, i want to help fix it. and that resulted in the charter amendment. >> supervisor safai: that was the cleaner version. >> supervisor peskin: having said all of that, i want reminded that a decade ago, i actually introduced an ordinance which but for the bell ringing on my then-two-term limit would likely have been passed, which used the specific carve outs pro
