government to go to war than to bring clean water to flint michigan and apparently about it is so true that the people of flint are not the only ones with water infrastructure issues according to a new report by the human rights nonprofit dig deep and the nonprofit u.s. border alliance more than 2000000 people living in the united states lack running water and basic indoor plumbing. basic indoor plumbing 2000000 people isn't america so great it just warms up your resort to america correspondent with the story. to live daily without reliable drinking water and with on treated sewage are conditions more frequently associated with impoverished nations but it's happening in our own backyards in fact today more than 2000000 americans lack access to running water indoor plumbing or wastewater services and while the majority of americans are taking high quality drinking water and sanitation access for granted millions of the most people in the country like low income people in rural areas people of color tribal communities and immigrants have fallen through the cracks now here are some of the

lots of people might be thinking of flint, michigan. how does the problem compare? a little hard to compare directly because of the way samples are collected, but there are some fairly striking results that should shock most canadians. do you have any idea from this how long people may have been exposed to such high levels of lead, and what the impact of that may have been? right, well, we have to keep in mind that levels have been coming down not only in canada but in north america, britain, over the past three orfour decades. but these levels of exposure, we expect, have been constant. what happens with chronic exposure when a pregnant woman is exposed, she is more likely to give birth to soon, when young children are exposed, they are brain doesn't develop the way it should, they have cognitive disabilities and an increased risk of adhd. for adults, it increases the risk of hypertension and coronary heart disease. these are chronic exposures. it is like smoking. it doesn't take you out immediately, but over years and decades it increases the risk of these types o

just briefly, patty, i guess a lot of people will be thinking about flint, michigan.vels were higher in canadian cities. montreal, regina, saskatoon, moose jaw, and surprisingly a small town in british columbia called prince rupert, had in some samples, in some ways, levels that were higher than in flint at the height of the crisis. however, prince rupert was on the border land there. imean, it rupert was on the border land there. i mean, it is a different case. but certainly in the other cities, levels were sustained and elevated. thank you for speaking to us. you are welcome, thanks for having me. british mps have elected a new speaker of the house of commons to replace the high—profile former holder of the post, john bercow. the new speaker is sir lindsay hoyle — he's been deputy speaker for nearly ten years. he's regarded as a safe pair of hands and likely to be less controversial than his charismatic predecessor. after being dragged to the speaker's chair, supposedly unwillingly, as tradition dictates, sir lindsay promised to be neutral and transparent and said t

you know, if they have their way, then every community will be like flint, michigan when it comes toad pollution, mercury pollution, that's the model for what a trump wold would lorld w like. >> who benefits? >> well, in the case of trump it seems that all roads either lead to russia or the fossil fuel industry or sometimes both at the same time. in this case, mercury, for example, is primarily produced by the burning of fossil fuels and, in particular, coal-fired power plants. so this is a finding that the current restrictions on hurricane pollution in water, the coal plants who would like to pollute at well. this is a backhanded way of trying to give them carte blanche to pollute into our water at will at the expense, as you've alluded to, of human lives. there are human beings and children who will die in these rules are implemented or, rather, if these rules are taken away by the administration, the rules that are currently there to protect our environmental health, our water, our air. >> we're running out of time, i want to get one more question in. andrew wheeler is the head of

it could be housing like we see in flint, michigan, it could be college access. how would states provide individual incentives. and then the flexibility provided through these mccain fellowships where a young person could get the fellowship and create their own service opportunity in a local nonprofit. that's what we envision and what one of the great things has been is that when we have been meeting on the hill there's a great appetite for this. there's interest in the local focus and we've drafted it in a way to currently support other legislation out there, you may have heard about the action bill introduced by senator reed and larsson in the house. it's big, comprehensive and provides incentives so we've been trying to complement bills outs there. we're in the testing phase, getting feedback, incorporating that feedback in the legislation and hope to move it forward in the upcoming year. before i turn it over, why now? you know, we know we're in a tough environment, but what's been really encouraging to see is despite the proposed cuts to cncs, the appropriat

most recently like flint, michigan, it found itself battling a lead water crisis.s hit an historic 50-year low, and the jobless rate is one-third of what it was just four years ago. some of that success is thanks to innovative public/private partnerships like the one formed between the city and the audio book company audible. these improvements are not only transforming the city but also the lives of its residents. how did you find this place? >> this is just one of the great build flings in newark -- >> reporter: you might think the largest producer and seller of audio books would be in seattle or silicon valley. >> it's the right thing to do, and i have a lot of reasons why. >> reporter: audible founder don katz just expanded his company into the soul of downtown newark. are these new? >> no, they're original -- >> reporter: they were original? >> from 1932. so the church burned down. >> reporter: audible's new home is this once abandoned 100-year-old church that's gone from house of worship to work space. >> this was the original choir loft where people gathered

we know about flint, michigan, one water supply.d in all of our blood, animals, polar bears, eagles, and we're just starting to hear about this because this information was withheld and covered up for years. >> that's what they always do, isn't it? isn't that typical? we saw aaron brockovich. we saw that movie and we know about love canal which was another coverup story. according to "the new york times" the trump administration is trying to roll back more than 80 environmental rules and regulations. i don't know if they're able to do it so easily. there is a lot of pushback, including the clean water act, things that everybody drinks. speak into if you will. >> that's disastrous and we have a -- if you care about your water and you want clean water, then you know what to do in 2020. but the real truth of this is, this transcends any one presidency or administration. this has been going on for 50 years. >> this movie is fantastic and i just hope everyone goes out and watches it. but for people watching this show right now, what can

i come from flint, michigan, a community with a great auto istory, but i have seen jobser sent overseas over the years and the livelihoods of families i represent go along with those jobs. we fail to see around the corner and claim that future for ourselves. this amendment will ensure one additional piece to make sure we have a claim on the future and be the leader in electric vehicles. i support the amendment and i support the underlying legislation. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. ms. speier: i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlewoman from california reserves. mr. mchenry: i would like to spend time in opposition but i'm opposed. republicans unanimously voted in the financial services committee to support the bipartisan bill that combat chinese. but we are not going to support this bill. it does seem strange that the sponsor that energy storage, which already refers tore batteries. but i think it is a good thing, and fine thing, but energy storage is the broader terminology that we had discussed in terms of negotiation betw
