let me ask jamie beller a similar question, with regard to caregivers. you heard what mister schwab said, one of the challenges we face is lack of professionals, the john cannon act gets resources to community caregivers which is a standup new program to help particularly in rural or isolated places. what would you ask about the mental health and well-being of suicide prevention not only of the veteran. >> providing more resources for mental health issues i have been to counseling during the 10 year journey to build resilience and make sure i am capable of taking care of my veterans and that is critical because there are studies or indications the caregiver can develop secondary ptsd, and these issues are very real. i know caregivers who committed because it is very isolating and very lonely occupation but with organizations like the elizabeth dole foundation, raising awareness and alleviating the struggle. >> you are a very articulate and compelling witness and i appreciate your presence with us today. thank you for doing an additional task of testifyin

think that they're likely to be followed up with further action if something drastic doesn't change bellers well once the decision today is made in the then the framework in principle agreement by the e.u. on sanctions against individuals would be in place and then it would be relatively easy to expand this list in the weeks and months to come depending obviously on the behavior of the government there are many who feel that alex on the lookout for himself should be on this list so there certainly is room for improvement and going forwards once the principle agreement has been has been reached hopefully today or tomorrow then an expansion of the sanctions would be relatively straightforward you know for a break from the german marshall fund thank you very much for joining us here on t.v. business thank you. now it's over the 1st is china's national day the anniversary of the founding of the people's republic in 1949 it also marks the start of one of the biggest travel periods in the calendar the golden week but with the pandemic still raising mostly outside the country's borders more chines

beller come thank you fortunate as an advocate and a caregiver. i'm so grateful to my colleagues for their support in passing the caregivers legislation as part of the v.a. mission act to finally expand the program to veterans of all eras now we got to get this expansion right and make sure current participants are not getting unfairly pushed out of the program. back in may i join senator tester any public comment letter to the v.a. regarding the agencies propose changes to the caregivers program which would restrict eligibility potentially remove some veterans of the program. in the law we set the criteria to include eligibility for veterans who need assistance with at least one activity of daily living. we included other eligibility criteria such as supervision, protection or instruction to make sure those with invisible wounds of war or need assistance can get it. however, v.a.'s new rule goes beyond congress' intent to further limit eligibility. so mr. schwab i wanted to ask you do you believe the v.a. the final eligibility to narrowly when co

has placed these sanctions on 40 beller russian officials but not president alexander lukashenko many thanks of course when the berlin peter oliver with that date. because the reaction now from run a road geopolitical honest to base the in germany welcome. so president he's the one who would directly benefit from any vote rigging is the one who would benefit from suppressing the protesters is the one who's not on the sanctions list why on earth not. i think that the e.u. is leaving some space for making the sanctions tough ther step by step because we have already seen an attempt of the european union to channel into bailout was 50000000 euros why are the coordination council of the opposition this attempt has failed because the opposition didn't want to lose its good reputation as a real internal belorussian opposition by receiving money from the european union that we had to step that lithuania has acknowledged. as the president and now we are seeing these sanctions which 1st have been blocked by cyprus so i think it's just a game of slightly stepping up the tone against. against lo

the united states has imposed sanctions on 8 beller russian officials including the interior minister over the country's disputed election earlier the e.u. blacklisted 40 belorussians in response to allegations of election rigging and violence against protesters minsk responded in kind with measures against the list of european officials artie's peter all of a report from berlin. it was a long time coming but the european union have agreed sanctions on belorussian officials following organists disputed election the reason for the delay was a standoff between cyprus and or pretty much the rest of the e.u. bloc cyprus wanted to see action taken against turkey over an kriz exploration for energy resources off its coast before it would agree to any form of sanctions against bella ruse that action against turkey that was agreed eventually and therefore they were able to proceed with the better russian sanctions so dozens of senior officials 40 in total will be. facing sanctions this is to do with them they being accused of falsifying election results and a crackdown on protests following n

there is trillion remember during the 2008 crisis they originally they were going to ask for chilean bellers from congress but the wisdom of hank paulson at the time said that psychologically that sounded big so they when they asked for 800000000000 so 1000000000 here. or there you know eventually heads up and it's real money right but so this reserve currency is literally sprayed around like out of a fire hydrant and trillions and trillions of it and whether a chapter $13.00 chapter 7 or chapter 11 there doesn't seem to be any end to the chapters of the story. of money printing it's the never ending. novella of print more there are signs that it is actually getting to small or medium sized enterprises versus the big guns versus the the people with access to the fed and the fed's free money and so you are seeing signs that it is getting to some of the smaller groups of people there in fact the consumer bankruptcies are down 36 percent in september on last year like so well so to what extent are these small to medium sized enterprises now becoming zombie companies whether it is that companies
