can you describe the challenges of the state department, the issues of th the state department is facing? can you give them some advice as they think about their future careers, future careers in the state department or elsewhere?what advice based on your experience can you give them? ms. yovanovitch: i think the first piece of advice is to follow your passion. because i think if you really love numbers and economic theory, you should be doing something with that. if you really love something else, you should follow that, that calling. sometimes i think for smart people who have all the opportunities being at indiana university, sometimes the challenge is to narrow it down. but i think that is a good problem to have, not a bad problem to have. so i think deciding what you like to do the most and then following that. i would say that one can make a difference in the world in many different ways. i was just talking to representative hamilton. he was talking about being a that satisfying for a number of years but then he wanted to move on and make it into politics to make a bigger differenc

an issue that touches upon every department of the states work. the department has launched a number of diplomatic and initiatives described in more detail in my written testimony that uphold and defend our interests and those of our friends and allies in areas, such as global infrastructure development, market access and telecommunications security. much of what we are doing with serve our global interests under any circumstances, but the unfortunate trends we see in china make our actions all the more urgent. we have organized internally through the leadership of the secretary of state for east asia and the pacific, along with the directors of policy planning in our global engagement center, to align internal policy making and virtually every single bureau an office in the department. we are likewise organizing our diplomats to focus on competition with china around the world. as part of a comprehensive approach, we are engaged with allies and partners in the g7, g20 and nato to highlight the threat that the percy poses, not just to the united st

i strongly agree with you on the enforce of the student programs. the state department made an urgent priority, we have restrictions due to covid-19 still but with the highest priority being alone student travel. in order to get those men and women here to the united states of america for the fall semester. we very much welcome the students. and we welcome students from china as well. >> china and run 25 year agreement which would allow china to invest millions and provide them with reliable access to lower-cost iranian oil and obviously there be a major challenge to the maximum pressure campaign. as a strategy to respond to deepening china runtimes in china's increasingly influence in the middle east. >> it's a little premature. there is no 25 year agreement and presence. it is a mean to say that they couldn't possibly move forward. they are closer to discussing it for the last 25 years than the forward 25 years. but is willing to concert on the democratic countries like iran. that is a generic borate. the case to iran, comprehensive strategy to arendt that would affec

secretary of state mike pompeo was on capitol hill to test of by on the state department's 2021 budget request. asked about china, u.s. troop withdrawal from germany, the firing of the state department's inspector general, and is it an trump's recent tweet on possibly delaying the 2020 election. this foreign relations hearing is almost three hours. >> the efforts of china and russia to so discard and read have a can undo the re-and open international order have reached new heights. they have stepped up this and manipulated international institutions, suppress the voices of freedom, propped up dictators, and invaded their neighbors. they deny millions of people access to humanitarian systems. we have a long road ahead of us in this era of competition. we need sustained political will read these challenges require nothing less. on top of all of this, we are confronted by a new challenge, a biological enemy that we still do not fully understand. it has inflicted levels of fiscal and economic harm on the world that we have not seen in more than 100 years. china and russia have played a in

today we have with us secretary of state mike pompeo to discuss the state department's fiscal year 2021udget request. though, if history is any judge, secretary pompeo, you will face a wide variety of questions which i know you can handle. the united states and our allies and partners continue to face serious foreign challenges that will test us for decades to come. china is our chief competitor. russia too remains a key advair. the efforts of these nations to sow discord and undue the free and open international order upon which shared prosperity and security are built have reached new heights. they have stepped up disinformation and manipulated international institutions, suppressed the voices of freedom and democracy, propped up dictators, invaded their neighbors and denied millions of people access to life-saving humanitarian assistance. we have a long road ahead of us in this new era of great power competition. we need sustained political will. these challenges require nothing less. on top of all of this, we are confronted by a new challenge, a biological enemy that we still do not

of time. the u.n. fact-finding mission on the rohingya, the holocaust museum, the state department investigating atrocities have found strong evidence of genocide by burma. i really hope the united states will declare it to be genocide because it is. and it would strengthen our representation and advocacy for human rights in the world, but i want to turn to honduras in my final question. the state department human rights report talks about extra judicialal ki akillings, tortur violence against indigenous hondurans, violence against lgbt communities, and in addition, we had in october, a u.s. federal court find that the president was indicated as a coconspirator in widespread drug trafficking and money laundering, and there's huge reports of systemic corruption and human rights abuses. in a context of all of this, is it time to re-evaluate our relationship, which has been quite cozy, with the president of honduras? >> senator, we're constantly demanding that the leadership in honduras take these set of facts onboard. we're well aware of what's taking place, and like in too many countries around the world, w

this oral argument is one hour. >> we will hear argument next in case 19-518, the colorado department of state versus michael baca. i note at the outset that justice sotomayor is recused in this case. general weiser. >> thank you, mr. chief justice, and may it please the court. the constitution authorizes states to use their authority to remove a bribed elector, one who engages in a rebellion or one who would perpetrate a bait and switch on the people of their state by voting contrary to a binding pledge. by contrast, if a state wishes to treat electors as free agents rather than as proxy voters, it is free to do so. in short, states determine how to select electors and ensure that they meet the relative requirements and perform their duties as assigned. this means under green that states can oversee bribery as an incident as a power to appoint. this must include the power to remove and elector without requiring a full criminal trial. under my friend mr. lessig's position, as a practicality bribed electors would cast ballots and illegal notes. the state prevented mr. baca from casting an illeg

years, it has been instrumental in advancing the for department of state employees. american values of equal treatment for every person with respect, decency, and equality under the law. i welcome the opportunity to join you all here today for an engaged discussion on advancing persons.r lgbti i served on the board of freedom house years ago and it is my privilege to continue these efforts in the united states government, working to protect the rights at the heart of our american foreign policy. the united states probably advances our efforts around the globe to protect lgbti populations from violence, criminalization, discrimination, and stigma. lgbti persons must be free to enjoy their full human rights and fundamental freedoms. in support of the lgbti community, president trump has pledged to help and criminalization around the world. he has established a working group led by our human rights bureau to formalize a decriminalization strategy for each country. efforts to repeal legal provisions that criminalize lgbti status or conduct in the roughly 70 countries that

ncentive understandings, declaration of independence, our constitution that give us the capacity to go around the world as diplomats from the united states department of state and encourage other nations to preserve and protect freedoms for their people, religious freedoms for their people, basic rights that we, as a result of the fact we are made in the image of god come every human being regardless of race, nationality deserves. i will follow to philadelphia quarely. >>so no campaign connection in that visit at all? >> >>i am so focused on what i am doing, bob. we know we have lots of work between now and september on so many fronts. >>huawei and 5g, was that intense loving that you did to get them to reverse? >>we were working everywhere in the world to make sure everyone has -- not just the united kingdom. we are pleased with united kingdom's decision. we think they came to an having reviewed the same data we have seen, about the risk of privacy. facial recognition, data sets, all of that that transits across huawei systems. hey concluded it wasn't in the nation's best interest, the decision you saw this week. we were happy about that outcome.

nobody had ever heard of the secretary of defense calling for more resources for the state department, but as secretary of state condi rice would like to remind me, i had more military people desperate more people know to advance advanced than n the foreign service. so with respect to over militarization, it kind of recalls the old principle that if the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail. and so i think we began to look at international problems to that lands, and that was one of the reasons, in my view, that we over militarized our foreign policy. for presidents it became a handy tool rather than a last resort. >> so how do we reverse this -- the muscle memory of these institutions and the congressional support for it is weak. it hasn't disappeared. you point out in the book president trump tried to cut state department and economic assistance by 30% in 2017, 17, again in 2018 and congress restored those numbers but those numbers are still nothing like what is necessary for the state department to be the kind of effective organization that you think

understandings, our declaration of independence, our constitution in important ways that give us the capacity to go around the world as diplomats from the united states department of state and encourage other nations to preserve and protect freedoms for their people, religious freedoms for their people, basic rights that we each have as a result of the fact that we were made in the image of god, every human being regardless of race, nationality deserves. i will follow to philadelphia squarely. >> so no campaign connection in that visit at all? >> i am so focused on what i am doing, bob. we know we have lots of work between now and september on so many fronts. where looking for some really good outcomes for the american people. >> the u.k. reversed itself on huawei and 5g, was that intense lobbying that you and others in the u.s. government did to get them to reverse? >> we have been working everywhere the world to make sure every nation has trusted vendors for their information technology. not just the united kingdom. 190 countries. we want everyone of them to make sure they are not in the hands of the chinese communist party. we are pleased with united kingdom

of 2001. you will remember this since you are at the state department at the time. it's fair to say that after 30 years of our lateral relationship since the end of the cold war, we have proceeded to the present day in her dealings with russia on the basis of three fundamental assumptions or hopes. one was that russia would reform a country thatme is not dissimilar from us, democratic or an open political system with a market economy and expecting a security architecture for europe and that would put the united states in cooperation with their allies. that clearly has not happened. in a sense, russia has failed to meet our expectations on all three of those counts. if anything good comes out of the current, very difficult point in the bilateral relationship is that after 2014, after the crisis in ukraine or with ukraine and the annexation of crimea and there was a breakdown in the relationship between moscow and washington and it's safe to say those assumptions no longer apply we should look at them and think hard about what really is essential in this relationship,

this ruling also applies to a similar case, colorado department of state versus baca. >> the honorable, the chief justice and associate justices of the supreme court of the united states. oh yea, oh yea, oh yea, all persons having business before the honorable, the supreme court of the united states are admonished to give their attention for the court is now sitting. god save the united states and this honorable court. chief justice roberts: we will hear argument first this morning in case 19-465, chiafalo and others versus the state of washington. mr. lessig: may it please this court. the question in these cases is straightforward. do states have the power to control, through law how an elector may vote? they do not. the expected meaning of the words of the constitution against the background of the framers deliberation make it clear that the states have no such power. but what is also clear is that washington does not like the constitution's design. it declares that the votes cast are not, as the constitution expressly describes them, their votes, meaning the electors votes, but inst

department of state says it will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools that are fully online for the fall semester. these are requirements for students have always been strict coming to the u.s. to take online early courses has been prohibited but many of these foreign students came from countries that prohibit travel from the states due to the pandemic now in some circumstances, some exchange of foreign students may not be able to study in the u.s. or return home secretary of state mike pompeo says the u.s. is looking into a possible ban on chinese social media apps including that popular video app tick tock in an interview with fox news pompeo says that folks should only download the video app if they want their private information in the hands of the chinese communist party to talk is owned by beijing based byte dance though officials with the company have said in the past that it operates separately from the government. the company also says its data centers are located in china are located outside of china and not subject to chinese law. switch gears talk weather tonight

which is an enormous amount of weaponry it's unprecedented for mexico and for the united states in terms of any exports to mexico new documents from the u.s. state department prove that is exactly usa not only delivers finished weapons to mexico the u.s. permit also includes a license to manufacture various example models in mexico including these ones some of which were originally developed and produced in germany. is that allowed. the german government has confirmed that zoe germany has been granted a total of $26.00 permits for the transfer of technology does exult usa since 2000 . but german law requires a further license before the technology can be transferred on to mexico. but when a production license is approved it's approved for one location in this case the us where the production actually takes place and not frank sport would have to approve any further exports again. the government has confirmed that no such authorization exists. is offered that i hope the people behind such things are held accountable for that at any rate would be the job of the relevant authorities who as i have said will once more have to consider whether to refer it to law

in the fort of their budget including a a 28% cut to global health programs at aid and the department of state, and similarly the proposal for fy 2021 concludes by some estimates of 34% reduction to the state department and usaid's global health funding, and the budgets of the president for the last three years had they been enacted the u.s. would have some account $7 billion less to spend on humanity and assistance in the last three years. to the extent that the american people have been generous, and a half, it is because of congress of the united states has put forward these funds. not because that the administration has proposed it. i have serious concerns chunnel wait for the second round as it relates to the actual delays and the obligation of critical humanitarian aid. we've heard from many partners that come up to ten weeks in delay, i don't think there's a good reason for that but i look forward to exploring it with yo you. >> senator johnson. >> thank you, madam chairman. this is a crisis that is really driven by and we defined by certain data points come certain metrics. moving forw

but then there's this, quote, complaints were raised with the department's office of the inspector general last fall. state department's office of inspector general when a team of investigators began a review of diplomatic operations at the embassy. the findings were submitted in february and the complaints are expected to be included, according to one of the investigators. meaning the complaints about this golf course shenanigans are expected to be included in that report. it's not clear why the review has not been made public. but what happened to that review? the inspector general looked into this, including into the allegation that the president had the u.s. ambassador to britain try to move the british open to his personal business? the state department inspector general looked into that? and we've got contemporaneously u.s. state department officials complaining about it and putting it on the record? what happened to that report? what happened to that investigation? nbc news further reported today the inspector general report was, quote, completed and marked classified as of may. an unclassified vers

investigating things the president doesn't like, the issue with firing the inspector general of the state departmenthad been looking into mike pompeo, a close ally of president trump for quite some time, certainly raised a number of red flags. >> oversight of the secretary of state might sound like business as usual based on inspector general steve linick's own description of his job. >> like all igs, i'm promoted detection of waste, fraud, abuse. >> linick told congress he had opened multiple investigations into pompeo, one involving his bypassing congress to sell arms to saudi arabia, another regarding reports that pompeo used a political appointee to run personal errands for his family. >> secretary pompeo was the ig fired -- >> when pompeo was asked on fox if linick was fired for investigating him, pompeo said this -- >> he was investigating policies he simply didn't like. that's not the role of the inspector general so i recommended to the president he terminate steve linick. >> mr. linick is now the fifth, yes, the fifth inspector general to be fired by president trump from his or her post in

once we create a structure associated with that classroom space the department of state architect has jurisdiction. what i am working on now is developing prototypes that meet department of state architecture requirements for being safe. this is not the same as going to home depot and buying event tents for a picnic or barbecue. we are working to develop that and engage with the department of state architects to get feedback and approval so we can start really working this into eventual schedules and layouts what the school sites will look like when we resume in person learning. i have been in touch with former colleagues at recreation and parks department. they are supportive. as we identify school sites where, i was thinking of flynn elementary that in some places where the schoolyards are not sufficient to support what it would mean to have all pre-k through 2 kids on the site in one day. we can think about ways to spillover into the parks. there are a lot of dimensions to this idea. that is the most basic idea of using classrooms outside, and there are more ambitious ideas which i

least new yes west schools also are closed at the moment offering online teaching and now the department of state is telling international students well if you're only enrolled in fully. online courses and programs you're not going to get your visa for this all some ista will also not be able to enter the country and if you're currently enrolled you have to choose either you leave or you find a course that actually office in person instruction so quite a few challenges if they don't follow these rules they might be deported it's quite heavy consequences and it all comes as the discussion about reopening schools across the country is in full swing donald trump has only just met a few of the professionals of the sector of the education sector and make clear that he wants the reopening of schools who want to rio he actually called harvard university ridiculous for closing for the whole season so you see where he's sort of standing and his deputy secretary of homeland security ken cuccinelli confirmed that the new directive will encourage schools to reopen so you see there's a lot of pressure buildin

they are working from home or in difficult conditions, so i understand the inpatients of the department of state the economy going and i understand the concerns of the social consequences will be economic. if people do not go back to work in the same number as they were doing so beforehand. but against that, it is the health risk. it is a realtight but against that, it is the health risk. it is a real tight rope. also, with that, the scientific advisers don't seem to be quite as optimistic. this is the concern. the most interesting phase for me from borisjohnson's press most interesting phase for me from boris johnson's press conference this morning was to one of the answers to a question when he said of course the scientific advisers give advice but in the in it is the elected politicians who have to make the decision. so all way through we have been let or guided by the science coming out this is a prime minister making a break of that and saying i'm making this decision is elected politician, not as a scientist. and that may come back to haunt him because when this inquiry eventually takes pl
