bery, for example. my question threats to you mr. bery, but others as well we for mr. bery's testimony about the conditions involving the preparation for the 2022 soccer world cup. what's the relationship between the testimony that we are hearing, mr. bery, about corruption, bribery racketeering criminal activity related to fifa, and the findings that your organization has made in regard to what's going on in preparation for the world cup? is our hearing, on these two contrasting kinds of stories that don't belong together, or the intimately tied to each other? >> take you for the question. at the end of the day when fifa made the decision to grant the bid for the 2022 world cup to occur in qatar it took responsibly for the human rights impact of that decision. >> how can you say that? >> because they fasten international organization with a billion dollars plus in reserves that has the responsibility under u.n. principles to ensure that its operations do not turn a blind eye to or directly involved serious human rights abuses. it's pretty clear at human rights abuses

bery:? >> >> there's definitely been a startling lack of attention to the labor explications in qatar today. thousands upon thousands of migrant workers in qatar are forced into a terrible system that can lead to forced labor in some cases. it is time for the sponsors of the world cup, it is time for the contractors and the businesses involved with world cup, as well as the host government itself, qatar, to start taking action and doing something about this crisis. >> they can have an impact, can't say, simply based on the power of the purse, dollars, investment? >> the sponsors of the world cup conduct really pay -- play a serious and productive role in terms of the labor exploitation for the world cup of 2022. >> mr. hershman:, do you agree? >> i do agree. these sponsors spend tens of millions of dollars to protect there's -- their brands. there are compliance standards that are recognized globally. what does it say about them when they are willing to partner with organizations that have t

bery said earlier. fifa is not an international organization. it is not an ngo. it is not a corporation. it doesn't follow any guidelines or standards. what exemplifies fifa is a small clique of very powerful individuals whose self-dealing was kept very secret, at the top level of the organization. it's no surprise to me that an individual federation like the u.s. soccer federation didn't know, didn't understand what was going on. this organization, as pointed out by the justice department, has systematic corruption. and for years now, for over ten years, in the midst of many scandals and even going back before ten years when mr. jennings was aggressively reporting on lack of transparency and accountability, the organization answered to one man and one man alone and that man controlled this organization with an iron fist and an iron grip. and that was the president of the organization, seth blatter. when he wanted someone to know something, he would let them know. otherwise, they would be in the dark. and it is discouraging to me that president blatter sits in th

closure ever since the officer was shot while chasing ago suspect through backyards in vallejo, that was bery four years ago. henry smith was convicted and now faces life in prison without parole or the death penalty. but today a judge may have to declare a miss trial if he cannot find a way to get those two jurors to see the process through. the jury was on this case for the month long trial, the penalty phase expected to take maybe as long as that, but important as that jury duty is, one juror reminded a journal of a move out of state planned for next week, another told the judge of a planned trip out of town. now, order thaerl that would heap bringing in an alternate juror, someone whos has sat through the whole trial, but there are no at fat jurors left. last week the judge dismissed a juror for alleged bias against police, the week before that another juror was dismissed because of a health emergency. earlier in the trial a jury was excused over misinformation on the jury questionnaire. no alternates remain. so the judge can seat an entirely new jury for the penalty phase but legal exper

bery, can you tell the committee what more you think fifa can do, very specifically and directly to stop human rights abuses including human trafficking, exploitation of child labor, horrific working conditions, illegal holding of passports in effect involuntary confinement of workers and other abuses involved in construction in host facilities, in hotels, the breadth of these violations, i think has been somewhat inadvertently lost in these proceedings, which have focused more on the corruption, the overt criminal corruption and yet these human rights abuses are real and unspeakable. >> you're absolutely right, senator. the bottom line -- there are two big pieces of the puzzle that fifa can help solve when it comes to addressing the major problems of labor exploitation in qatar today and potentially in future countries that will be future host countries for the fifa world cup. the first piece of the puzzle is the question of what the evaluation process is during the bidding process to be a potential host of the world cup. now fifa said for the 2026 world cup it will include human rights
