[applause] i was chilled by what i saw, and chilled equally by the slowness of the world response. i didn't understand how the world could save we have learned the lessons of the holocaust, and never again, only to witness sergey pfau, the rwanda

national people's congress is dealing with structural reforms wealth supporting the economy -- reforms while supporting the economy. what is the main thrust of the conference, what he has been saying? generally a chinese domestic economy, comparing it to chinese chess, saying it easy to reach a 7% growth but that it has enough policy tools left in its arsenal which is prepared to use. or, as you said, if jobs are at stake. he did reiterate the commitment to reform and reduce its role in the economy, which he likens to slashing wrists. reducing the government's role in the economy is a revolution. it touches the interest of several groups. this is like taking a knife to howevern flesh, but painful it might be, we are determined to keep going until it is done, because it will clarify the relationship between the government and the market, stimulate vitality, and tackle the dour pressure on economic growth. christine: china has been relatively spare on monetary policy. given the low inflation they do have room to move. they also have fiscal tools, although the danger is that any similar measure will put it back in the front market, and all the areas where chinese people can make quick money ins

nation status to pregnant workers. we know that that can't be something that congress intended. we know that in part because of what generali said. that that's not how anti-discrimination law works. the fact that someone else was discriminated against doesn't mean a lose. justice alito's opinion for the third circuit in the fraternal order of police for newark qasr tick lates the same rule. we know that because the purpose of this statute to say to employers, as justice kagan said, you have to treat pregnant workers as just as valued employees as anybody else. if you think it is valuable to keep these employees on the job who are injured on the job because they keep valuable knowledge within the company, do that for pregnant women. >> thank you, counsel. case is submitted. >>> saturday barbara bush daughter of george w. bush and a panel of other young adults, discuss the issues that motivate their generation. they explore the new way so-called millennials are engaging their community. here's a portion of her remarks. >> i guess what's the one issue that is most important? >> my goodness. so many. well i think that it gets
