council. room, we discover the railroads for the creation, and our treaty that was signed in 1866, the reconstruction treaty. it said that we had to allow, to railroads to come across the creek nation. one east west and one north-south. and when those railroads came through, it asked for large right of ways, on each side of the railroad. so when you mention that the right of way, the land that's available on each side of the railroad. and we're not talking a few feet, or talking particularly the north south and east west, we're talking a few miles on each side of the railway. so what happens is that particularly, at these railroad points. at the stations if you will. muskogee is there, and then there's a few others that we know today, you have lots of non native people, who come to live who have the right of way. but if you are a non native person, though our laws did not apply to you, if needed person or cree person found themselves in disagreement, or an altercation, our laws did not apply t

to the national council.nd so when we were working up the layout of this, it was with the idea that our national council, they had an interest if they would want to have meetings here in the council house. and so this was the space that the national council during 1878 to 1907 met in. it is not too much of a leap -- it is not a leap, in fact -- that our national council meets in this space today on occasion. and in fact, with their space since about march of 2019, they have been renovating that space and they needed a space to meet. so they have been utilizing this space for their monthly general session meetings since march of 2019. all of our national council meetings, in the general session but also the committee meetings they have leading up to the general session throughout the month, those are open to the public. and not just our tribal citizens, but also to the general public as well, if they want to attend any of the committee meetings and certainly the general session of the national council. the spa

i labour and councils - consistently have higher council taxes then - conservative counsel.rt for councils. we know today that we have provided £1 billion more - than local government has itself self—reported - to my department as covid related costs throughout . the period. £1 billion more than even - counsel have told us they have spent and need. so let's be clear that- when the prime minister, when the chancellor, - and i promise to support local councils and the communities, . meant that promise and we have delivered on that promise. but labour warned that an ageing population would lead to higher bills. the pandemic has brought into clearer focus the frighteningly fragile state of our adult social care sector. it is a dereliction of duty that the government, for ten long years, has failed to come up with a sustainable solution for families that cannot continue. a former local government minister said the only realistic route through the crisis was to share the costs between central and local government. we've got local democracy in place for good reason. councils contro

welcome to the creek nation council house.he building you are in right now served as the cree nation national capital from 1878 until 1907. prior to and 1878, there was a log cabin that served as our national capitol building until this one was constructed in 1878. we began the removal in 1829. they congregated in a large removal of end-to-end territory -- indian territory. 1836, with our arrival in indian territory late 18 36 and 1837 when we arrived at fort gibson in indian territory. for about 20 years or so, 1840 prior to settling the capital here, we met at a grand council of tribal towns until around 1861. after 1861, of course that is the arrival of the civil war for the united states. post-civil war we had to find a new treaty as the other tribes who found themselves involved in the civil war. we signed of those treaties in 1866. in 1867 we established our new tribal constitution. once we established that new tribal government, we had to have a place for that and this is the place the muscogee people decided on. the sp

thank you to the atlantic council. the what you start the question reminds me of director mueller -- the way you start the question reminds me of director mueller, right after 9/11. he was one of the long-standing national security principals in the u.s. government. the fbi is the lead for investigations, also the lead for intelligence. if you look at what happened at the capitol, both at intelligence and investigation -- obviously, it's probably already started and will be part of other reviews. the fbi director, what he's looking at with his team, he is looking at that threat. the racially motivated violence threat has been stated that it's the number one threat for the fbi for terrorism. the number one mission for the fbi to prevent terrorist attacks in the u.s. or against u.s. interests. within that, domestic terrorism, the number one threat. the antigovernment anarchist threat is just below that. i think they will look at that threat, given the events of january 6, going out and doing awareness. a deep dive into t

it is great to see you, and thank you to my atlantic council colleagues. it is great to be back with my atlantic council family and to be included on this distinguished panel. ishink the china pitch particularly timely. the biggestrhaps coming out of the reflection group support. change in the leaders waking up to the severity of the china challenge that called for a consultative body in nato to discuss the issues of the chinese influence in europe. the report also calls for a revamp in the way that nato does partnerships with an emphasis on partnerships in the pacific. that provide something to build on. the point that managing china's rise has to be a truly transatlantic issue. i think that is true. the only way we can out match china is if the united states and our allies and partners at nato do this together. this would be a key strategy of the biden administration whose foreign policy priority will be china to average allies to take advantage of that competition. i would also say that the essay takes on another key theme of the reflection group report

council in the south is really cool we have to get that with the new government because this now has if it's the case then it has a pretty serious questions about the future of this government as to what extent they're willing to cooperate because one major reason is that they are in control of security in that and then the city will be the analysis you would see of. a genuine. strong support from the transitional council i don't think this government can win because again their control of the security. but also told the benefit of this analysis let's also not exclude. the chances of not. great but let's also not exclude other see not just like there are a lot of players and they like that guy that isis in the past they launched some attacks so. again this is not a good assumption that you are but instead as one of the cases or to some group in a mess from the southern support this will then. that the transitional council if it's behind that then it will to present a different set of challenges because i'm lists that number them that they need that believe that ship of the. 7 transit

that the transitional council if it's behind it then it will to present a different set of challenges because i'm lists that number them that they need that believe that ship of the. 7 transitional council is behind this then i think the challenges will be more amenable to deal with. would be easier for the government to have my one you heard about him there talk about the security situation and adnan i want to focus on that for a moment because presumably the airport where the attack happened in i did yesterday presumably that would have been one of the more secured areas or one of the most secured areas in all of yemen if an attack like this can happen in a place that is supposedly as heavily fortified as the airport should have been what does that saying about the security situation in the country overall. well it shows actually how did you get the position of the yemeni government is and that this won't yemen has just like all other conflicts and that he's and you have so many here this study complicated because you have so many bodies a lot and walled in despite that i mean look

security council failed to reauthorize u.n. agencies continued usage of three of the four border crossings, the final border crossing is essentially up for expiration this year. i just want to ask whether you will work toward the immediate reauthorization of the crossings that we lost in 2020, and more to reassure that we continue to access to the remaining crossing? with this sort of limited ability to get relief into syria, you can imagine the crisis that already exists getting substantially horrifically worst. >> senator, thank you for raising that. you may not be aware because we talk so much about my career in africa, i spents more than half of my career working on humanitarian affairs and i will commit to ensuring that we find a way to open up those avenues so that humanitarian assistance can get to the most needy people in syria. >> and lastly, let me turn to the world health organization. when we talk about the w.h.o. up here we can always lead with the same phrase or a version of it. the w.h.o. is in need of reform. it

how many more councils could suggest schools close for most pupils?hers will turn up in classrooms? union leaders are in touch with one another this weekend, co—ordinating their actions. the department for education says it will only move to remote schooling as a last resort. the pandemic robbed us of many things in 2020, not least certainty. it's going to do the same thing again for many parents and pupils — for the first few months of this year at least. chris mason, bbc news. the conservative mp robert halfon chairs the education select committee. he says school closures must be kept to a minimum, given how detrimental they are to children's development. absolutely where possible, we should keep our schools open. we are damaging our young children's life chances. we know that during the last lockdown, millions of children did hardly any learning at all. whatever remote learning goes on, it is patchy, in parts, hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children or disadvantaged children still do not have proper computers at home, nothing as a substitute f
