we are much better prepared. not to say that we are everywhere we need to be. i think our panelists today will admit that, but we have made tremendous progress. the fact that we had these two individuals here with us today in newly created positions i think is both a reflection and also is a contributor to our being in better shape today than we were four years ago. so we're very lucky to have these two very busy individuals joining us today to help educate us and the public about where we are, what we are seeing, and what we should anticipate. shelby pearson is the intelligence community election press executive, and the principal adviser to the director of national intelligence on all election security related matters she is responsible for leading and aligning all relevant oh dni security efforts, including integrating report with intelligence operations, collection, analysis, and partner engagement. she was the national intelligence very busy individuals joining us today to help educate us and the public about where we are, what we are seeing, and what we s

if we lose that, we lose everything.bout the 21stnk century threats that we are savers with, terrorism, -- cybersecurity, election security, that will take more cooperation than ever. i will never hesitate to use the tools of the u.s. strength when necessary, but i will also never hesitate to make sure that we reach out and include our allies , to build up the friendships that do the bulk of the work of keeping us safe.

we have a very distinctive stand, and we have meetings set up and we will see if we can work out some kind of a plan for peace. reporter: one point on this issue, i think it is important to point out that the agreement signed between turkey and libya infringes on greece's sovereign rights and -- we would be looking to your support to ensure that these types of agreements are not being put into place. i think we should refrain in general in the eastern ofiterranean in any sort activity that inflames passions of does not promote regional peace. we are very much looking forward to your support on this issue because it is a very important issue for my country. the iraqi government says it expects u.s. forces to leave the country after the letter they received, the general said by mistake, yesterday. what you say about the paucity -- possibility of u.s. forces leaving? president trump: i understand it was an unsigned letter. maybe mike can speak to it. i don't know if the letter was a hoax. mr. pompeo: it was not intended. think it isump: i the worst thing that could happen to iraq. if we

we are working to make that big we are your help. and what i like to say is just what you see in bernie. progressive, true progressives are just the first to the best and the most just idea and then they build the movement to make that idea real. is that right? and here's the third reason. bernie brings a clarity of purpose to his policy proposals. and let's just be very clear on this. bernie sanders helped to create the movement for medicare for all and universal health care across this country without bernie sanders there would be no movement for medicare for all. and as the lead cosponser -- lead sponsor of the medicare for all bill in the house, let me tell you this we have had four historic hearings in the house, never before in the house of representatives. we have over half of the democratic caucus and i am so thrilled that now endorsing bernie i am going to be the national health policy chair for bernie sanders and together we are going to keep going and building that movement for edicare for all. now let me tell you bernie k

we talk about the three d's i'm not sure we act on them we educate people, we bring them and train them to the foreign services and to operate. and if i may add to that there should be the fourth which we talk about which is democracy. we should run through all of this i was with a former colleague of mine a senior strategist who worked in the counterterrorism center. he said he did a study of all counterterrorism work and he came to one conclusion the biggest challenge we face is governance. not many people get this not even in state you completely get it. may be mark green got it but running across the different divisions there has to be a recognition of how we do this is important in government to the success of environments with any transition. and what is good is the additional development world is starting to get this so then it starts to get easier to talk about these things on the government side. but more needs to be done through think tanks and through the institutes and training at the operational levels to get to the bloodstream of the foreign policy community to operate day

we have to remind people that we have to stay focused. we have to pay attention, and we have to look out for one another. thank you to everyone here today. i also want to thank the san francisco police department for not only stepping up additional enforcement in this community during this very incredible time in our city, but just the office hours and the work they continue to do to make themselves available along with using this incredible technology so that if someone seeks mandarin or cantonese or languages not familiar to the officer, they can pull up their phones on an app and communicate with someone on the spot available. i really want to make sure we do a better job, especially with the chinese press of getting the word out that it is okay to approach any officer and know that they will try to do everything they can to communicate and to break down those barriers. that is also what today is about is making sure that we have the ability to communicate with one another. thank you to chief bill scott and the san francisco police dep

job of that and we track who we arrest and we also track when they get out and if we get evidence oreive evidence that those individuals are involved in further car break-ins we try to devise strategies to kept tiewfer them -- capture them again. but the numbers are important in terms of holding people to account. but here's another thing that we all need to try to remember. ultimately, you know, our leaders and our city and in our state and our voters have decided how they want to see things play out in terms of incarceration. the prison population is way too big and everybody has been working to reduce that, including our city leaders, so we have to be strategic and focused on those people that are doing most harm to our city and that's what we try to do and that's what we'll continue to do and we have had success with that so we'll continue that strategy and, you know, even if we were to solve 100% of those crimes, if we're having 25,000, 26,000 car break-ins every year and some are repeat offenders, we know that, we don't have the space in our jails for that type of population. s

we do share strategic updates and we have to do something .bout the missile program we have differences with the united states on how to do it and using the constraints where we the effects have been incredibly active in supporting the ukraine and european support is five times workrge as the americans in terms of sanctions against and a weight is 10 times as large. the middle east, i will leave it on.he questions later i will leave it at that, but my final sentence would be in all keyhis, the relationship is not only insecurity terms, but also security paradigm ranging the climate with and we would be infinitely weaker if that wasn't on our own and where we need our collective power standing our clout.for leveraging our >> let's go straight to you. indeed, in my life, in my career i was very much involved in french german corporation and germanyor to france and some years ago. me, i would say from the outset which is personal, because i had the of -- before the fault of the berlin wall, i had a chance to be introduced to some of the actors. also, a younger generation of the french pres

we know that we. and it is expectantly true with the protracted and dynamic situation that we all are aware of in the middle east. people disagree, i get that, and a war that lasts nearly two decades, obviously, strategies change along the way. but i believe president trump is making real progress, and we should let that progress play out, if it means that we can bring an end to this conflict, we should all welcome that. so mr. sopko, thank you for appearing before us today we, are dedicated public servant and we are grateful for your service, we and with that, i yield back. >> the gentleman yields. once again, i'd like to welcome our witness today, we are joined by the honorable john sopko, this special inspector general for afghan reconstruction. it is customs is where all witnesses, can i please ask you to rise? mr. sopko, do you swear or affirm that the testimony will give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god? >> let the record show -- please be seated -- let t

as we wrap up, we can reflect on pride with what we accomplished together. we re-opened the transit center after an independent review. we recommissioned the entire facility, and we worked with transit operators to fully operate the bus plaza and deck. we wanted to ensure a smooth opening for commuters and the general public. we have been operating for six months, and we have put the experience of the transit riders and public as number one. we provided a world class facility. we are seeing tens of thousands of people every day at the transit center. the janitorial security and park programming staff are in hand every day providing a welcoming presence to the public. as we operate my charge is to be nimble to the needs to everyone who uses the transit center and provide the best service to the public possible. in 2019 we reached 75% of the retail spaces at the transit center with the nationwide challenge of filling retail storefronts. we continued to on board new tenants such as on site dental which opened in november. sf fit mess, very eye -- sf fitness. we

we keep saying are we there yet.it's a little bit like if you reach your goals yet you reach them yeah, we kind of did so relax a little bit. >> do you imagine -- >> you have to have a little fun on these calls i have done a lot of them. >> do you imagine there will ever be consolidation again at the top where firms like yours are? >> i think that's a heavy lift and i don't see that happening certainly in this country i cannot speak some other regions of the world you could argue there's actually compelling sort of industrial logic. in the u.s. it's hard to argue, but, you know, there's very, very large banks and it's a huge difference in size so some of those should be growing and you're seeing below that, you know, the bb&t suntrust deal is an example. there's transactions happening because it's expensive to run these businesses the technology, the cyber prevention, managing data, data proo privacy, all of these issues cost money. >> do you think that the u.s. banks are behind relative to the european banks relativ

we must remember we cannot control the weather, but we can control how we manage our forests. healthy forests sequester carbon and are more resilient to catastrophic wildfire. we have to promote collaborative approaches that reduce the constant litigation, against critical forest management products. that helps us resolve our forest health crisis. we need to modernize the endangered species act, we need to build on president trump's nepa reform so we can get critical energy infrastructure built. and forest management products projects approved in a timely manner, these are not theories or academic discussions these are pragmatic common health bring health back to the forest reduce the danger of wildflowers thank you for the witnesses being here in sharing our experiences it's very important to us and with that i yield back. >> thank the gentleman yields back the chair now recognizes the chairman of subcommittee on health gentlelady from california mrs. new for five minutes. >> thank you mister chairman and to the ranking member for allowing me to waive on to the subcommittee t

we did not use of social media as much as we do.u give us a the future timetable for these reviews? will it be a regular thing? madame lagarde: that should be debated. the initial timetable which we are setting for ourselves, which is ambitious, is to try to conclude by the end of this year. december 2020, hopefully we will have reached that platform of consensus on the various topics that we have. do we have to repeat the exercise every year, every five years, eight years, every 16 years, as we have? i have my views as well. we will debate that with the group to see how necessary it is, how helpful it can't be -- can be. >> markets are interpreting the exercise as may be having a little bit of a dovish tilt. madame lagarde: i am not a dove. signs it should markets be looking at in the review to give us a sense of where goes? madame lagarde: if markets are interested in what happens in the next 12 months, they should not pay too much attention to the strategy review. we are conducting two separate exercises here. we will have our mo

and we are hoping that we see a difference and we feel a difference. ultimately shelters are helpful. but we also have to get more housing built in this city so that we can get folks into a safe, affordable place to call home. nothing is more important than ensuring that there is housing opportunities for all people, for all levels of income. that is really ultimately where i'd like to see our city go and what i will be striving to make happen. what are the next steps after meeting this goal? well, it doesn't stop because we met a goal. it's time to set a new goal. it's time to do more work. so i know the folks who have worked on this including power who really is my policy director but has led this effort and worked with his team and others to make this a reality, i know a lot of them are saying oh, my god, mayor, what else can we do? we are working hard every single day to get this done. and we have more to do. people are counting on us to do more. and doing more means that we have a place for people to go. yesterday when i was out at the embarcadero

we hope we will be victorious. we will be deployed if the 49ers win as well. i want to report on our overtime status. we are about halfway through the fiscal year and currently we are 6% over our budget in general overtime. several unfunded areas have caused us to be over budget. we are and will continue to try to reel this in, but i want to report on what some of those events were. we responded to a mutual aid request at the kinkaid fire. that was a little over a $300,000 expense. now, that will be reimbursed at some point, but it does cause our overtime costs to go up. also, hospital watches, which is an issue that we struggle with constantly when individuals are arrested and they require medical attention and that medical attention is prolonged, our officers have to stand watch at the hospital to make sure that the person in custody is basically safe and that the medical staff is safe. approximately $380,000 to date has been spent on hospital watches and that expense is expected to be $800,000 by the end of the year. our hospital at zuckerberg z.f. general

so we think it's something we can do. i want to remind folks that this is a cross-hhs agency initiative. often, people think of nih and cdc when they think about -- hrsa is a very large player. leaders from each of these offices. cns. samhsa. federal action to date. just to remind folks that since the president's announcement in february, a number of things have happened. one of the large ones are these main implementation grants to do the work we are laying out. that are going to be going out or have already gone out for application from cdc, hrsa's hiv-aids bureau, hrsa's bureau of primary care, which is going to be deeply engaged in distributing prep to folks as well as testing people much more regularly. and the indian health service. as tony alluded to, the cfar and alc grants have already gone out and a number have landed here. some remark bl woable work bein here today. over the next -- well, this was in july. but it was over six months from july. so by year's end this year, to show some very -- that you can achiev

jens: we have not made provisions because, first, we do not know if we will get any fines.table financial position and if there would be any possible fines, we have enough money to pay them. nejra: what number, if you could put a number on it, would lead to a further cut in the evident payout ratio? payoute have a dividend ratio that is 50%. we intend to stick to that. i am not going to go into a position on guessing whether we will be fined or how big such a fine would be. manus: can i ask you that about the business? we saw a shift in rates back to zero. i just want to get a sense of what that has done to business demand, the complexion of the bank. that, whenwe know is interest rates go up, it is actually good for the bank in the sense that we have a strong deposit base and we can use that to lend out especially in mortgages. had negative interest rates on people's savings accounts. that means when interest rates go up from a negative levels of zero, that is good for the bank. satisfied with many of the recent changes with executives in the bank, yourself included of cou

we have facilities. we have capacities.have skilled staff and we're going to figure out a way to work with human beings and figure out a way to make sure they are able to stay alive and we can provide a level of patient care. so we're going to continue this conversation, but there are things that are more important than the bottom line and the life of our residents is definitely one of them. >> president xi? >> i just want to ditto supervisor sayaye and supervisor walton's remarks. >> thank you, supervisor safaye on your work and for bringing us this hearing today. and i want to thank public health for focusing on this issue and working with chinese hospital to find some potential solutions. and then i also -- i think this is critically important issue, that it's in the context of a set of profound health needs that the city has for beds of many different kinds, including skilled nursing beds. and when we have a conversation about, you know, one facility converting skilled nursing beds to subacute beds, it makes me think ab
