of filling for another two minutes, half, do n't worry, the issue of filling the vacant positions of heads, in particular the state property fund, the ministry of culture and even the committee on freedom of speechh is still not headed by anyone, has somehow disappeared from the agenda of the parliament, yes, nestor ivanovich, it still remains formal, is n't it, nestor ivanovich, but mr. grabar, grabar, well , he, well, he seems to be the head of the committee, well less with what? what does such a delay indicate, because i remember we got involved two weeks ago, very actively, discussed candidates for the head of the federal state university, for the head of the ministry of culture, yaroslav karandeev is still there, there is nestor shufrich, the head of the committee, now there are two people, the committee should be at least three people, if i'm not mistaken, tell me about it, let's start with the committee of freedom of speech , and nester remains a member of the committee, left a member of the committee, because if there are less than three people in the committee, where will the committee be. frankly speaking, this committee does not have any powers, so many who already want to head the co

and so there are clues, there was no committee that sat down and said, here's what we mean by freedom of speech and freedom of the press. there's no committee. but i think what you try to do is draw from the writings and their actions and what do they actually understand the concept to mean? and you take that from all the debates that went on, especially in the ratification period, almost, i would say probably all of the ratification conventions involved a lot of talk about freedom of speech and freedom of the press. so, um yeah, >> speech is the bulwark of every other, right? it's so important to remember. we just have time for one final round of concluding thoughts, salman rushdie challenged us to debate the idea that the american principle that free speech should only be banned if it's intended to unlikely to cause imminent violence is more persuasive more worthy of respect, better than the view embraced by all other western democracies in europe and around the world that speech can be banned. if it offends dignity and if it offense honor. jacob, tellus about the competing european view. it has its roots i

of the public information committee were present to explain the achievements of the war to the people. wilson's speeches in paris were made with key words that these reporters had created. keywords such as freedom, democracy for all and a world without war. the battle for peace and equality. the result was the enthusiastic reception ofwilson by the people of paris. wilson had become the saving angel of europe. among the members of the public information committee, there was a person named edward bernays. he witnessed the strong reception of the parisians for wilson. seeing this reception surprised him. he is new to the power of persuasion of public opinion. he was a slave and he wanted to use this huge force for large economic profits . and at the age of 1926, i was in paris for the entire time of the peace conference. that was held in the suburbs of paris and we worked to make the world a safer democracy, that was a big slogan. when i came back to the united states, decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace, and propaganda got to be a bad word, because he thought to himself that if the committee's propaganda was able to make wilson he portrayed the title of a libertarian to the people and made him a man who can build a new world, a world in which people are free, so he c

of the public information committee. they were present to explain the achievements of the war to the people. wilson's speeches in paris were made with key words that these reporters had created. keywords such as freedom, democracy for all and a world without war, fighting for peace and equality. the result was the enthusiastic reception ofby the people of paris. he had been the savior of europe among the committee members a person named edward bernays was also present. he witnessed the strong reception of the parisians for wilson. seeing this reception surprised him . he had just realized the power of persuasion of public opinion and wanted to use this great power for economic benefits. then to my surprise, they asked me to go over with wilson to the peace conference, and at the age of 1926, i was in paris for the entire time of the peace conference that was held in the suburbs of paris, and we worked to make the world a safer democracy. that was a big slogan. when i came back to the united states, i decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace, and propaganda got to be a bad word because of the germans using it, so what i did was to try to find some. he thought to himself that if the committee's propaganda had succeeded in portraying wilson to the public as a libertarian and ma

freedom of speech in action? we'll ask a former head of the uk's joint intelligence committee and a human rights campaigner if theds to change. good evening. in the last two hours the united nations security council has heard a particularly stark statistic. citing a report by the charity save the children, philippe lazzarini, the head of the un agency that supports palestinians in gaza, told an emergency meeting that 3,200 children had been killed there since october 7th. that's more children killed in gaza, he said, than have died in any one year since 2019 across all conflicts around the world. with confirmed information hard to come by amidst the chaos in gaza, of course no data can be officially verified. but as the israeli operations by land, sea and air continue nobody doubts the scale of its destruction on the gaza strip. today the israeli military announced it had freed a hostage, private 0ri megidish who was taken captive by hamas on october 5th. her liberation came after hamas, proscribed a terror organisation by many western governments, released a video of three other hostages, all women, who are stil

of recommendations to congress, we urge the relevant committees to hold oversight hearings on usirf on policy. we also recommend that individual members of congress raise international freedom issues on hearings, floor speeches and congressional delegations abroad, and advocate for religious prisoners of conscious to the tom lantos human rights commissions defending freedoms project. we just heard about. we also hope congress will permanently reauthorize usirf bipartisan support in congress for religious of freedom abroad is a powerful driver of u.s. leadership on this important issue and helps ensure that america's commitment to international religious freedom remains strong. and let me say in closing that i completely agree with my colleague of former congressman frank wolf here on my right. usirf needs a budget in line with what the original intention or when it was created in 1998. thank you all very much.
