we are able to do what we are able to do because we rely on everyone understanding what we are doingand not leaving anyone behind listening to concerns in finding a collective solution. you do that when you engage and i had to tell you we have departmentsin that focused on local engagement and not that we set up an employees to do that but they reach out to our committees. the housing project in new york city out there with those residents ensuring that they understand why the network is being built and how it can benefit them, the boys and girls clubs of america, the brothers big sisters all these organizations around the country we tap into because they know what's happening in those communities. some of them are employees and some are friends and family but we want to use them to better engage our community. >> thank you for the question. the next one is from the governor for a rico governor pierluisi. >> damage caused by hurricane maria over 5000 permanent construction projects on the way that the more critical ones relate to the energy system to electric infrastructure which sti

we made it, we need it. for drugs and devices, not only when manufacturing is disrupted, but also when there's a huge shortage -- surge in demand. so we can help them make up for it. >> thanks very much. mister chairman, i'm giving back the minute. >> think you, senator casey. senator cassidy? >> thank you, ranking member. dr. walensky, doctor califf, i've interacted with you a number of times. i don't know you all super well, but i respect u.s. individuals and physicians who have demonstrated integrity and capacity and commitment to the if you have taken to the nation, but also to your patients. let me ask each of you, how many employees do you have that you are responsible for in your agency? just approximately. >> about 1000. >> about 12, 000, and about twice the number of contracts. >> thank you. >> 19,000. >> yeah. i know there are some people who feel that these individuals must be corrupt or must be bad, they work for the government, it must have ulterior motives. my experience in dealing with those t

sure, we had pieces of ebola we had to worry about and yes, we have the flu. but this was one where more people wanted to not have the data or evidence and say, we do not have anything to say it is here. they allow that ignorance, deliberate not snowing, -- del iberate not knowing, to get out of hand. have we started collecting data earlier, we would have known how to respond. >> i agree with all of that. it was a partly willful decision to not respond in the worst two months, january or february. i was one person but not the only person in february to say this was going to be a global pandemic and what affect majority of people in the world. i was not the only one because it was clear to epidemiologists if there are cases in dozens of countries that it is the weakest link problem that an epidemic spreading anywhere becomes a risk of an epidemic spreading to new places. even if china, as it did, can control the source, once it is out into the rest of the world, it is the weakest link. and there is age -- and the chance it gets back into the bottle is nil. we d

we will then go to new zealand and celebrate the partnership that we have with new zealand which we are working on challenges regionally and globally in the secretary will have an opportunity to view a world cup soccer game which we are excited about. i could be the highlight of his trip there. we will travel to brisbane for meetings with our allies and most consequential will be to australia. this is just the latest strip that demonstrates strong and enduring commitment to the indo pacific. we are in and pacific nation and partner to these nations. we hope to build our collective capacity and face our shared challenges. >> i am struck watching the dynamics in the region that we are doing two things simultaneously and i wonder if there is some tension? if you think about the relationships between australia and japan. these are high-end political defense on the geopolitical front. if i think of papa, the solomon islands, it is very different. we are looking at climate change, illegal fishing. how do you balance those two things? how does the secretary think about that and how you approac

we were up in the hills together and dan had to answer all of the hard questions so we decided that we will preserve out today. i want to thank dan for taking on the hard ones. my answer will be that what you see us potential tension is not how we view the region. the most significant element that we see this was secretary also has talked about most recently as a shared vision among our allies and partners. this is not america's vision of the indo pacific, it is a shared vision articulated by the japanese, pacific islands, australians and koreans of a region that is free and open, free of coercion and disputes are managed peacefully. with different allies and partners we have different mixes and the types of engagements we have in the tools we bring to bear but there is very close alignment and we meet there partners where they are. they are very focused on issues of climate change, illegal fishing. others who are more focused on high-end deterrence we will meet them where they are. while the tools 90 -- may be different, articles are shared. we talk a lot about these trips being histo

if we have to place restrictions, we will. francine: my conversation with kyriakos mitsotakis next on "leaders with lacqua." prime minister, you have a mandate from the greek people. what is your intention on how that will unfold in the coming years? pm mitsotakis: first of all, i am happy, honored and proud to be able to secure a second mandate. we actually got a higher share of the vote then 2019, something unusual for an incumbent government in these difficult times. i want to make sure i use this strong mandate to drive forward and aggressive reform agenda and make sure greece makes up for the lost ground and converges with europe at a fast pace. high growth rate is my number one priority. this would give us fiscal space to drive through important changes in health, education and other policies. areas i care about. francine: you are confident you will get investment grade. when you get investment grade, what does that mean? what does that change in terms of investment coming into the country? pm mitsotakis: i think it chan

we have a multinational operation that we execute. that we are setting up for the future. from a cocom perspective, the integration is good. i think we are in place with, because of the responsibility behavior, the advocacy re-received due to u.s. leadership and establishment of services, you will see a bow wave of like-minded nations who recognize the shift that these nations, the prc and russians want to make the international order and value of norms to preserving that order. it is not just about war fighting, it is about escalation management and preventing miscalculation. it is good, the service. >> one thing i will say is general is similar to dickens got his own department of political advisor. she is on staff and looking. that has been a great attitude to stop. secondly, we have guardian and state department, looking these loans in behavior and engaging. in the third piece is the discussion of a working last week. we went to the cso to talk about the coalition outreach. state department was there for the and talked about the efforts they are working towards in norm

we want them to be as protected as we do. we need more friends. biden goes and calls saudi arabia a pariah. mbs is going to help the leader. he is young. call them a pariah and you send them to china. we need the arab countries to be with us, not china. my guess is they would rather be with us in china but our allies do not know what we are doing. a lot of happened after afghanistan. the idea that we left the air force base in the middle of the night without telling our allies who stood shoulder with us for decades we asked you there, the british ambassador is here, the u.k., we do not tell them we were leaving in the middle of the night. think about what that told our friends and our enemies. these countries need to trust that we know what we are doing. we are not showing that. we are not trying economic strength with trade proposals. we are not showing military strength and the weight we are building up our military. we are not showing strength in terms of challenging our adversaries. we have to start showing what we are doing. i know when ameri

we know that we we have to invest in it. and so now is for us to try to figure out how do we balance between maintain the print collection as well as the digital collection and how do we make sure that, you know, digital is kind of like the more money for the more you to going to get it's just inevitable it happens way. so not so much in terms of print but with the digital that's where i think we really have to figure out our strategies and how do we have ways that we can be more efficient in. we provide those resources to the customer, especially when we talk about the cost of digital compared to print. right. alan, the word choice has been mentioned a couple of times here now and that sounds wonderful as a library user, as a consumer, i like i love choice. great. but it sounds like a challenge too for for libraries and library budgets choice. is that what you're seeing in connecticut as well that that's what you're your users want. yes. you i want to echo what lisa and edward said about choice. i a i was a library director

we believe we will find a solution because we need peace. for a tribunal to be internationally credible. >>>> one more question from reuters. >> i have a question about the cooperation with icpa that the u.s. has contributed prosecutor. will you share all the evidence you have collected or will it be selected? are you open to and aggression prosecution at the icc? do you see that as a possible endpoint? with the u.s. except an icc prosecution? >> you fuss the same question to three different people. i do think today is a significant day. i give ukraine a lot of credit. is the first time that i can recall in the middle of a conflict there is a focus on justice and is not simply a survival or territorial gains. the united for justice conventionconvention believe the commission -- maybe there is a real effort to make sure that there is law on the front lines and utilize is ability. there is massive laden potential . it is needed in a way that will indicate -- i think the comments are a bit different because were based in the hague. we have repr

and we are done with that but we are a global power we have to be able to compete globally. that would be the first. secondly in terms of what needs to be done and how hard is it if you look at our government getting back to the question of prioritization, there is a challenge we have within congress where we need more cohesion within congress. i am not talking bipartisan. our committee structure you have a committee that senate armed services committee and senate armed services and appropriations committee, the need for them to come together have more coherence. there's also a challenge there and, you will probably talk about that you talked about a lot though. very frankly the erosion of state department authorities especially after 911. they need to rethink as administration of executive branch how do you integrate your efforts? finally how to integrate the efforts between congress and the administration? that is hard work because it is legislation. legislation is sometimes difficult to get through. the final other points and i think this can be done but still requires le

that is, we fixed. or uh, everyone, kept quiet literally, if you weren't mistaken, there, almost 2 days later , the famous madame saki fell upon us. well, we all know this video. i think she is too. hmm about how barbaric and a crime it is to use these same costumes, and in this case, i must, in this case, i will still move on to the military unit then. so i explained what it is. in fact, this is not a gift for the sun. this rather vsu, softly. let's say cutting. here are all their possibilities, but here is a very interesting situation, which today we can already quite calmly, speaking about business , fix in language what is from the great offensive, which we heard for six months and it turned out absolutely nothing from the word at all, that is, they are nowhere could even get through to the end with it, so they got four and a half million different, like, they say, yes, exactly. and in our case, well, again, we were engaged. eh, as if would have accepted ammunition already in the early seventies. th

as we learn more, we do more, we respond better.here was a time when people bought certain behaviors were just indicators of a bad personality. then we began to understand what was underlying that. i think a shift in health focus is really important. i think we need to spend more time with people in jails and prisons. as much as this department is doing, it is still a forgotten landscape. their chimney people in custody, many, the majority, have disorders that have been unrecognized. you cannot do sunning about disabilities and not be very very engaged in that space. private attorneys cannot enforce the act, only the department has the authority. that means that even today, there are still thousands of people in jails that are still in risk. when people call up and say they cannot get the resources they need, the lives shifted so far away from prisons rights in allowing people and prisons to protect themselves, i think the rest of us need to know that got. that is a critical role for every one of us to begin to elevate this issue as

so we, we take that, that section of the wavelength that we can't see and we re map it in something we can see. so these beautiful images are not what you would see with your eye if you were out in space looking at these nebula, you wouldn't see that. but they are giving us this rich amount of detail about the different wavelength that these objects are meeting at an end. so it's not that there was no and for read before it was, it's just that much more advanced, right? if you will, like the hubble, have this capacity to a certain extent. i mean, i, i'm reiterating, maybe i'm wrong. i think i'm wrong stuff. tell me no practice. let me. i just want to mention so the previous grade instead of a tree that was an infrared telescope with speak to me, so spits it was an estimation. uh that operated from to 2003 to 2019. and it had in for red capabilities. um, and was able to see glimpses of just again give us hints about what was there and, and, and so many interesting questions. but leave us wanting more and web is giving us more. i mean, you know, obviously we've been celebrating so far. i

we can. there are phases the first is getting rid of the abandoned vehicles then post notices and the contractor come in and get the permit. this is when we are doing and let the tenants know you can't park there for 2 weeks. it is a work in progress. >> thank you. what do you do the vehicles inoperable >> we are asking the tenants. when we post the notice we ask the tenability who is want to claim the vehicles bring registration to the office. a lot of them have expired tags or in process of getting the vehicles repaired. i'm sensitive about that matterive want to make sure staff sufficient safe. we had hostile tenants come you to and knowing the conflict resolution is a thing. if someone say this is is my vehicle i'm fixed no problems still bring what expired registration. community we have a willing so we are understanding this they are in the process of getting their vehicle become on the road. they don't have it and we toe and punch the numbers. someone say this is is my car and i'm fix

and we don't have a lot of time. i'm confident that if we work together we can deal with it. and we are applying the next generation of technologies and that is going to power everyone's economies. and i think we have to continue to remain very close, coordinating, because it can be a great, great advantage for humanity, and it could cause great difficulties. artificial intelligence and other things, if we don't up -- cooperate and know what is going on. together we are standing with the great people of ukraine as they defend themselves against russia's brutal assault. i look for to discussing these and many other issues today. it is generally an honor to be with you all. it is an honor to be with you. thank you. >> thank you for organizing this meeting and thank you joe for being with us. your nordic friends. here today. it is actually very meaningful for all of us just arriving from the nato summit as we can continue our discussions on security, but also talk about the other generational challenges we are all facing, with climate and biodiversity crises, if i may mention th

we plan to do that. but only if we see we have an opportunity to win. and we're going to be listening to the american people and that's that this agenda was formed, by listening to the american people for this is not our agenda for this is the american peoples agenda. and isn't it about time we listen to the american people to shape our nation for the future and for the next generation? we live in the greatest nation in the world.

the pensioners of mun jani, whom we will serve in any way we will have it, we will develop it. very good, mr. mousavi, what did you do for the development of electronic services in the social security complex? it is really very good . one of our approaches was the discussion of making social security smarter. respected, you have received the communication regarding the matter. the basis of the belief is that all our services should be provided non-electrically and electronically to our insureds. let's burn it to 47 years old and now in the year 401 357 we delivered electronic services in the field of insurance services, almost most of our services are received in person. the number that i got from the dear ones for this meeting and i guessed that it will be asked last year is 160 million. the burden of referring to the services through the electronic system is 160,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 . they received 44,000,000 services, which means something like 3.6 tenths of a million monthly 160 referrals have been converted into services, and we are very happy th

one of the ways we do that is we raise our hands.aising her hand that maybe you raise them higher or -- and does your staff dealing with concerns heard loudly enough in washington? >> i cannot say that. this is not a failure of a specific group. in the vice chair's report it really details it. this is a setback in the process and let's look at the process and find the deliberation and i want to be very clear why are supervisors deliberative? they want to be right. it's a company doing jobs and they want toto make sure they aren't over under correcting. you can easily move yourself one way or another so this is balanced in my teams will work with the teams across the system and do their best work. >> one final question before returned to the others. each federal reserve bank has a nine-member board of directors andke their thinkers elected by bankers ander district. of the bankers on your board one of them was the ceo of silicon valley bank and that leads to speculation that somehow the supervisors went easy on them because theas pres

we can't do that, we are on the border of russia, we are in a bad neighborhood. we said, don't worry, we will defend you. we put it in writing. you know what ukrainians did? they gave up their nuclear weapons. so, here we are today, we have not only a moral obligation to do this but a legal obligation, for all you lawyers in the room, you note a contract is. number one, it is in writing. when one party asks another to do something, they do it in exchange for consideration. there is that reason. it's the right thing to do, that's another reason. one of the most important reasons is if you think xi is not watching every single thing that goes on, as far as our commitment to see this thing through, you are badly mistaken. he is watching this. i have reason to believe that for a fact. a very, very closely, watching every utterance coming out of the u.s. congress and the united administration and out of the american people, as to what kind of stomach they've got to see this thing through, sen. risch: , give them everything that shoots other than nuclear weapons. give

then we have. we are also there to work i think as ashley mentioned with residents as they deal with issues both with our own buildings with the property management and also eugene burger so the weekly meetings occurring. in terms of hiring residents and the other principle area obviously is in construction. we work to train and hire folks on the construction crews, not work for mercy but work for the general contractors on site. i believe there is a training coming up relatively soon for the latest round of work. that's not going as well as i think we would like it to go, but we are taking steps to move in a better direction. i think that there are opportunities as you described for community based organizations not necessarily mercy but other community based organizations to work with eugene burger and housing authority to remedy the issues. my view, i think there is a model out there similar to the way green streets works as plaza east and other locations like that where you have entities or age

are we behind? are we on par? >> i would say the two global powers, where the competition matters most, between the united states and china. as i mentioned, beginning my testimony, a year ago, i had real concerns as to how the united states and people to maintain its advantage. but precisely because so much of the conversation around a, i legitimately so, public conversation focuses on risk and the unknown. again, meaningful conversations. i do think, just analytically, i do believe we have a moment to reassert american dominance in a way that really matters. some of the things i would've called a drag on our development, from a national security perspective, they're actually lessening. if we realize this technology deliberately, then we can seize the advantage and not just sees the advantage now but actually build an advantage that will be meaningful over the long term. i think we should do everything we can to do that. >> the 30 seconds to go, doctor, alaska the last question, what is the risk that this committe

we have been asked out that we can't do this, we can't do that, we are not capable of this, we are not capable of that. but with my years of lived experiences, we are talking 25 years. i should be a double phd by find out there is anything about a phd? but yet yet i'm still goie educational aspect because i realized in order to be a changemaker, in order to create policy i need to speak the same rhetoric that the policymakers speak my lived experience does not give me that i can talk that really -- but indeed to speak collegially and that is also another thing that is kind of like the gatekeepers that keep us away from effecting change. if we lay down those, i don't know what we would call it, archaic policies and procedures that you can't do this unless you have a college degree, you can't do that unless you have x amount of years of schooling and realize most of us advocates of those of us who got boots on the ground that the author begging them drums, not all of us have a college degree but yet we are creating change. like? why are we creating change? because this is our moment to c

if we had more money, we could hire more employees. congress has made historic investments in the parks system over the past few years, yet it seems that these problems if they are improving, it is not very quickly. to add insult to injury, the parks service requested an increase of 8% and discretionary funding for fiscal year 2024. can you explain why last year the parks service reported a dramatic increase in the deferred maintenance backlog and what concrete plans does the service have to reduce the backlog other than just continuing to ask congress for more money? mr. reynolds: we very, very much appreciate the investments that have been made between all of the various funding sources and they are putting them to very good use as quickly as we can. there's at least 1.2 billion obligated right now a couple of years in to the gaoa work. the plan is very much on a public facing website. we can give you that link or constituents with that link. we have plans up through fy 24 that i am aware of of park rarities investments that we are g

and we said, we mote in sfring we like to talk about that. when we just met. june first they told us. well we can't tell you what we are talking about this is top secret. >> so we drafted a letter to superintendent and will do general manager herrera regarding mark for identification our occurrence of things that should be in the agreement that don't comply with the letter and the spirit of the act. the fact this today if you want to walk out to the waterfall at hetch hetchy, you get out there you get to the bridge you can't see it around the corner. the falls are too height bridge is too close you can't go cross or seat waterfall that is a trail by the act in construction and maintenance. if you are staying at the hetch hetchy campground that water is provided by san francisco it is not drinkable. we think this is in the comply with the act. and in general, not beingably it get in hetch hetchy when you access the rest of the park. is in the consistent with the act. hope we get a response and life to talk to you about it in a polite conversation. thank you. >>

then we did 18 -year-olds and we did stemmed teaching and we don't control the school system so we did charter school with community college, they are totally independent and that's how we got into those partnerships, the largest in the country so any student goes for free and you graduate high school with an associates and then we did two scholarships but i fun raised and forcing them to go to college. and it is that process so you can determine the eligibility for any public official can do this and it's not just the corporation. how do you inspire and create initiatives that are created? our key indicators are credible and we have the most in history, 12% so we had the lowest homicide rate 1964 last year. this year almost 1% so it's incredible. in miami, you remember, it is a great story and lowest unemployment in america the highest wage growth in america. a sophisticated economy creating that, it can be done anywhere and sometimes encourage hard work up until about a month ago. it is exciting. and it is just not critical and we are supposed to influence what is important. they wan

talk about ukraine you know we don't we don't go and we don't say you know we all know why we came we came because we have to talk with ukraine we have to talk where it happens with by those people who are ultimately responsible for this war and therefore is it the ministry of health is it the ministry of defense we have very good relations with minister bryaznikov we have very good relations with other ministers through our vasyl shevchenko's embassy is each lobbying, we are lobbying together, but we have a plan, that means the embassy does not say, but we will do it, and you do it . it must be in accordance, and i think that when ambassador vasyl is in his place, he is a very intelligent and responsible person. i am with you i agree, but on the other hand, we would like to also to see, er, another aspect of what is happening now, mr. andriy, look, we understand that there is information that not everything is to our liking . financial because this is an ongoing war in general for the existence of ukraine as such . in other words, it was russia that declared an undeclared but existen

we get very little credit for the job we did. we did an incredible job.e hell it was. we did an amazing job with the regeneron and all the therapeutics and all of the things we did. ventilators that we built, we became the king of ventilators. we were making them every country and sending them out. despite all of that, -- some people said they did it on purpose, i happen to think it was gross incompetence. i said it came from the wuhan labs right from the beginning. if you remember, i took a lot of heat for that. now they admit it came from the wuhan labs. trump was right about everything. sort of. we were just about right on everything. [applause] i hope will not be right on what's happening in ukraine because there are a bad things happening there and we have a man who's grossly incompetent, who doesn't have a clue, and we have to be very careful with world war iii. we created the most secure border in u.s. history. built nearly 500 miles of border wall. got mexico to give us, we of charge, thank you, soldiers. to protect us. i said to them, you have to

we could move in a lot of directions right now, we think we are stuck in a sideways trough until we figureut what the fed will do into 2024. guy: what happens if the dollar stabilizes here? what if we end up in a tight range? what are the implications for other asset classes? >> a strong dollar is usually associate with weaker performance out of non-u.s. stocks. we have seen better performance out of non-u.s. stocks coming out of that dollar talk so weakness within the dollar starting in october of last year provided a bid to the rest of the world. that could continue to reverse if you see a stronger dollar and the stronger dollar would put downward pressure on commodities which would have an impact on value stocks as well. that's -- the reverse is true in a weaker dollar environment. kailey: to come back to the earlier point about how this is a rate differentials story, is the story for the dollar and other currencies about the landing of central banks and their respective places? if it's a soft landing in the u.s. or harder elsewhere, what does that mean? >> it's a soft landing and how t
