just look at the record of the color revolutions they've spawned and what happened afterwards in eastern europe how much conflict has taken place in ukraine for example there is an active war in ukraine's east that any deal was heavily involved in the my down coup neo nazis are rampaging a government funded neo nazi group called c. fourteen is attacking roma camps across ukraine and you know i tried to warn about this at the time and people said you know come on it's just about democracy let's keep the money flowing into civil society group. and now ukrainians favor peace and the u.s. wants to send more weapons. to serving under a million levels and what's even more disturbing to me is that right here you know on capitol hill our people who don't seem to see that who are supposed to be you know the great minds like you know nancy pelosi. well can i just make a quick point there which is that you know you brought up nancy pelosi and she was at this event the democratic minority leader and i i question her about this but one of the most important things people need to understand and why this conv

the things we know from looking at both history of active measures as well as their use across eastern europe and central europe is that sunlight is one of the most effective anecdotes, transparency, exposure is critical for both build and resiliency and deterring it going forward. i concur that the more information, , the more transparency that the platforms can be providing to their the consumers, to users of information about these activities is absolutely critical. >> i just want to say it's great that pace but for this out ever having the string. i promise you the vast majority people that i know back home will never see a single one of these images because there's a lot going on in these everyday constantly by the hour. >> senator ernst. >> mr. chairman, i'd like to put what i believe is a context in which we should be thinking about what happened in 2016. first i think we're all clear that russia attacked our country during the 2016 election and that there continue to attack us today. russia not only attack one of our most sacred democratic values which is a free and fair election, but

i would add that one of the things we know from the history back of measures as those across eastern europe and central europe is that sunlight is one of the most transparency exposure to the critical for building resiliency and deterring it going forward. i absolutely concur that the more information on more transparency of the platforms can be provided to their consumers to the users of information is absolutely critical.ti >> it is great to face with us this out there and we are having this hearing. the vast majority of people i know back home will never seeeea single one of these images because there's a lot going on constantly by the hour. >> senators. >> thank you tiered >> mr. chairman, i would like to put which i believe is the context in which it happenedho n 2016. first, we are all clear that russia attacked our country during the 2016 election and that they are continuing to attack us today. russia not only attacked one of our most sacred democratic values, which is a free and fair election, but also i believe are very american identity. i often say that we as americans to matter

i spent a number of years in eastern europe and the former soviet union. you have to be concerned about threats from abroad. you have to look at two is capable and who has the intent to disrupt our electrical grid. i will start with the russians. we have seen their behavior in ukraine twice, 2015 and 2017 were a cyber attack was aimed at disrupting the electrical supply. they have gone after estonia, one of our smallest nato partners but most effective in this area, and they went after an oil pipeline that according to some reporting goes through turkey to the mediterranean sea. they have's shown the capability and intent. now we have to worry about iran. shenzhen's -- sanctions have to be applied. they are not a major power. this technology is not just a purview of the u.s. and china and russia. smaller countries, organized crime groups, all of them can be equipped with the capability to disrupt our electrical system. host: what do they want to do with they get into the system? russia,n the case of they want to disrupt the and potentially the social aspec

in and paid attention to, in getting eastern europe to the conference. i think that steve will probably talk to the politics of that, but that was important and they are part of the reason why we're not meeting the targets, principally russia. and then, i would say that in the basic area, which is what i'm going to start with first, we're still in the era of trying to get to an effective hiv vaccine. we're not there yet, but there's an amazing amount of enthusiasm and a lot of new science. and the same is true for cure. so, just, first of all, in terms of vaccines. so, there are a lot of basic groups working on whole new approaches, things like new small molecules that would mimic the receptor, that looks like they're going to be able to do much better in terms of immu immunogenisty. >> and there are small particles that are looking like an immuno genic advancement. the challenge in this field we're learning more and more about neutralizing antibodies. we're going to evaluate antibodies as a massive immu immunogen. we want the human system to generate th

county of kent in southeastern england and they're picked by hand mostly by seasonal workers from eastern europe. but. i don't think. people realized how much we depend on foreign labor coming in. steven benson is a fourth generation lettuce farmer he employs around one hundred thirty seasonal workers on his farm most come from romania as e.u. citizens they don't need visas to work but breaks it could well do away with that privilege that would go stephen's business model. if there's no labor coming in. virtually this is going to be no food. we've got to have the labor coming in there's no question about. all imports and a lot of food from the rest of the world. so we've got that choice. to do or just have fun is romanian she's been working on the farm for eleven years she was shocked at how in the run up to the referendum that revolved around immigration but she still isn't convinced breaks it will cost her her job. i don't see i thought your english by working but you know how life being. brave words but british farmers are already feeling the consequences of breaks it this year twenty percent
