the way to resolve disputes early, as lady hale said, is to provide advice at the outset.could have been resolved — or that should never have been brought — coming into the courts and the people who are trying to bring them don't understand how to navigate the system and are therefore taking up court time with cases that take a lot longer than they otherwise should. the impact on the court system has been really tough — cases taking longer than they should, more cases going through the courts than should, which means that cases take longer to get to a hearing as well, so the overall impact is people are really struggling to get justice now. and those cuts that you mentioned in 2013, they were designed to bring in savings of £350 million a year, but the government — well, the ministry ofjustice is saying we are improving early legal support to reduce the number of people going to court unnecessarily. so, you know, the age of austerity is apparently over, according to the political parties, so you are hoping that these kind of cuts are going to be reversed? we would hope the

what do you think about lady hale's comments?practitioner would disagree with what she said. certainly, from my experience, then most obvious consequence of legal aid cuts is the massive rise in people representing themselves three will be family justice system. it is hard to overstate how terrifying that must be for the people who are in extreme emotional distress, to have to navigate the justice system without any knowledge of law or procedure. superficially, there may well have been the savings in terms of enabling legal aid from those areas of family court, but the costs are incurred elsewhere. we spend more time in court, judges spend more time in court, judges spend more time in court, explaining basic concepts and ideas to people to ensure that things are as procedurally fair as possible. the reality is that not whoever is footing the bill, or avoiding it by being a litigant person, is caught the right place for these disputes? as you say, it is obviously very difficult to resolve. —— is caught the right place. early legal

under-secretary hale said this was prospective not at the time. that's the most ridiculous comment, and there's been a lot of them here. that is the most amazing, amazing lack of honesty and integrity i've seen so far. looking at your own article to say that i have never said no one died. we know people died. in wars people die. is that difficult to understand? maybe that's why you're back here with us tonight. it's not hard to understand. and to say that -- two things the most amazing thing today. tearing down president zelensky and besmirching those who died. even for this majority, to sit there and keep reporting the lie after lie, they died. mr. hale under secretary of state said that was prospective money not current money. people died when there was money released earlier. are we going to claim that wasn't because we didn't give them enough money? i don't know, i get it. y'all got an agenda to push and the clock is ticking. but to sit there and come back with that one and accuse me that i said nobody died, i never said nobody died. undoubted

danielle hale from realtor.com.ood morning. >> one big headline i see here is a challenging new year for buyers, not many pockets but because of the inventory. do you expect sellers to stay on the sideline next year? >> that's what we're calling for in our forecast. you're right. it's not affordability that's the biggest challenge. it's finding a home and many buyers who are out there in the market will have difficulty finding a home. sellers with prices soft evening less of an incentive to sell immediately. that said, if they do decide to come to the market, we do think they'll find ample demand particularly if they're selling an entry level or moderately priced home. >> one story line i like is the millennials versus the baby boomers. and want to buy. if i'm a baby boomer and i've been in the housing market 20, 30 years, why not cash in? why not sell right now? >> you could sell right now but then the question is where do you go? especially if you want to stay in an area like the bay area where you know home price

the first is the prosecution of daniel hale. he is a former contractor and the intelligence community. and he is being charged under the espionage act and under provision of the espionage act that specifically applies to it signal intelligence he has been linking information about drone information. so for the first time in a number of years, hale is seeking to dismiss his indictment expressly on first amendment grounds. but he is making arguments that haven't been made before. in the morrison case, in the mid- 1980s, there is only one case. and mr. morrison made arguments seeking to dismiss the charges against him. both the district court and the appellate court in the fourth circuit, rejected this argument saying that the effect on newsgathering from charging journalistic sources, was effectively hypothetical. mr. morrison i'm sorry mr. hale now is arguing that we now have a record since 2009 of these cases being brought and then being one, but it did not exist during the morrison case. it remains to be seen whether that will

under secretary of state david hale testified he was frustrated because he was simply told this was the president's wish. in august, in august, several omb divisions, several divisions wrote a joint memo, recommending that military aid go to ukraine as soon as possible. and they said in that memo that it was necessary, this military aid was necessary for supporting a stable and peaceful europe. i would also note that just recently, just a few weeks ago, two omb officials resigned. and they resigned because of deep concerns that they had about what they were being asked to do. one of those individuals worked in the legal department that issued this after-the-fact cover-up memo from omb. now let me just ask the american people this. if the president was waiting, had deep concerns about corruption and was waiting for ukraine to take major steps on corruption, let me ask you what you think any president might do in that situation. might they ask the department of defense to follow up on those major anti-corruption things that they were trying to get done? he did not do that. would they -- w

hale testified totu this fa. in fact, he repeated it in his deposition. we want to talkt about facts, to the k deposition, go to the transcript he had. he said this was future aid, had nothing to do with running the army. in war zones people get hurt and people die. russia has innovated ukraine. they are fighting that. it is a hot war. people will. but tope blame this conversatio because you have such a weak case that you're going to try to throw that in to scare the american people, that's not right. make ari case, have your facts, put it in the articles. but when you can't do that, you go in the back room, you start writing articles of impeachment and you say uh-oh, weave got a problem. let's put something in there that all of our conference can get behind because they don't like the president. i yieldt back. >> the gentleman yields back. for y what purpose does ms. dea seek d recognition? >> i move to strike the last word. >> the gentle lady is recognized. >> i rise to speak in opposition to this amendment and to my colleagues on the other side of the
