. >> all these people who have not been vaccinated, you have an obligation to yourselves, to your family, and, quite frankly -- and i'm going to be criticized for this -- to your country. get vaccinated now. it is free. it is convenient. i promise you, it saves lives. >> israel now said to offer a fourth dose of the covid-19 vaccine for people aged over 60. the prime minister says it will help overcome the spread of the omicron variant. the decision comes after israel reported its first death related to omicron. that was on tuesday. in the u.k., the government has announced a $1.3 billion support package for businesses affected by the omicron outbreak. prime minister boris johnson says tighter coronavirus measures will be considered but only after christmas. and some other headlines for you, sudan's prime minister close to stepping down. he was removed in a military takeover in october but was reinstated last month after signing a deal with the military. protesters called that agreement a betrayal. in libya, the presidential election is likely to be postponed after a dispute over the rul

baskerville: i agree with your concept we have to have jobs that i think you have got to have peoplered for the workforce, people with strong character and people committed to service. i think that is one of the thing hbcus provide that makes them unique. yes we are preparing folks for the workforce and encouraging that comes with discipline. showing up on time. it is critical for us to teach our children how to think, not what to think, so they can come up with these critical thinking skills on their own. with that, i yield back my time. thank you very much. chair wilson: go ahead. rep. bonamici: i want to speak to the gainful employment rule that was brought up in the witness testimony. students career programs with the expectation that they are going to receive a quality experience that will lead them to gainful employment, but many of those. education programs, particularly those at for-profit institutions, are not preparing students for gainful employment, leaving them with debt they cannot pay. so for today -- to protect students, they implemented the gainful employment rule, s

we have to have those tools. this has to be a whole level of instruments of national power effort. >> one quick thing to add to that, that's why chris ingliss's position is an important. that's one reason i was so important of a national cyberattack vector. and working of course with our sectors of government, we see that playing field and say, okay, how bad is this? what is the proportional response? what is an effective response? i think he should have a very strong say and not just people in the state department or military. i think that inglis she would have that say. >> and he's a great teammate. terrific to work with. >> we really do have a strong team in cybersecurity. i apologize to all the people whose questions we did not have time to get to. i will do one for both of our speakers. it was asked, is north korea the biggest hacking empire in the world? is that true? no. if you had any final remarks, now would be a good time. >> go ahead, jim. >> i just wanted to say, thank you so much. i always say, cyber

i told you we don't have too much time and we have quite a few panelists. i want to give meredith a chance to chip in here. as i understand, you've served as a campaign staffer. specialize in communications and talking to average people about politics or speaking through another official as a speechwriter. i'm wondering if you can share for us what it is like convincing voters to remain engaged, digitally if you're picking up in a moment where they might have just gone through electoral defeat. separate from experience as the candidate, as someone who understands the communication toward voters. meredith: there are no winners without losers, but also with winners, many were at one time losers. and that is true whether you have engaged as a candidate or elected official, a staff person or as a volunteer. think about how many elected officials have blocked a race at some point in their political career and what they learned from that experience. and again, whether you are a candidate or staffer, it you only need to know the feeling of losing -- if you engage

let's see if we have any callers in the queue. do we have any callers? >> we have no callers in the queue. >> chairman: thank you. with no callers in queue on these items, public comment is now closed. and i'd like to move to convene in closed session. mr. clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: on the motion offered by chair preston on the agenda item closed sessions to conduct the item discussions, [roll call] mr. chair, there are two ayes. >> chairman: thank you. the motion passes . >> clerk: the government audit and oversight committee was in closed session. item number seven was recommended as a committee report. it will be considered at the december 7th, 2021, meeting, and acted unanimously to recommend agenda items eight and nine to the december 14th board of supervisors meeting as regular business. >> chairman: thank you, mr. clerk. and has supervisor ronen joined us yet. >> chairman: let's go ahead and call item three, please. >> clerk: mr. chair, before we do that, there's one more item of business. that's the committee's decision about whether

good to have you with us.ith omicron, what is the risk that will see supply chain disruptions again and better inflation? >> asia does see lockdowns again. we have already seen some scaling back in mobility, broader reopening being delayed in the region. mainly because vaccination rates are so low. and you kind of see boosters and start looking at vaccinations for children. the region is still grappling with getting those vaccinations delivered. but because of the risk of further lockdowns, if we see the kind of threat we see in europe right now, we can see another bout of supply chain disruption for the first half of next year. haslinda: we also have to look at china. most of asia depends on china for growth with china adopting zero policy two years on. what is the downside risk. >> i think we are starting to see more downside risk for china, which based on our outlook,, as well. in terms of our zero covid policy and higher transmissibility of the omicron variant, there is a real threat consumption recovery w

we have the information. we have some examples.e have programs that exist that may need to be expanded or where we need to provide more electability in terms of how things are funded. we don't need to start from scratch. there is no need to drag this out. we need a working group up and running on this issue now to prepare for a conference that will hopefully be next year. again, i want this to move very quickly. the idea of a white house conference is not new. i believe this reminds me of richard nixon. way back when he talked about some of these issues. 52 years ago, we did a white house conference. not as expensive as the one we want to do but nonetheless, a conference that produced wic, improvements in the food stamp program, it talked about the conference of -- the important of investing in nutrition. it was an imperfect conference but it produced some positive things. we want a conference that is more perfect. we want to elevate the voices of people with lived experiences. we want to talk about not just hunger in generalities

number one, you have to have a mask.n you go to the restroom, you have to have a mask and i was in a private area with my drinks, with the people i was with enjoying myself at a venue and i had a great time and i followed the appropriate protocols, and, yes, i was dancing, and, yes, i was drinking and having fun and at the end of the day, i am doing everything i can to follow the existing protocols and i think sadly sometimes these videos are taken out of perspective. i took pictures who wanted to take pictures with me. i am out there in the public not just supporting night life, but out there at our restaurants, shopping at various locations doing what i feel as mayor i should be doing but also as a human being who's been through a global pandemic who did everything i could to make sure that the people of this city were safe which is why it's no coincidence we not only have one of the lowest death rates in any major city in the country. so i'm doing my job and i am following these protocolonel colonels. what i've said t

and other we work bonds have fallen -- have followed this substantially.t how they will work with omicron hurting the business. softbank has a lot of money at stake in we work. it is important to point out softbank has a broad range of investments. more than 300 portfolio companies they have invested in in one form or the other. we work is perhaps one of the most high-profile for them. they are trying to navigate that and other portfolio companies to either go public or improve operations at business. so it is one very large piece of portfolio. shery: here's a quick check of the headlines. apple shares rallied tuesday after morgan stanley boosted their prime target to $200. all-time high and gains close to $3 trillion market value. an expert sees their company benefiting from autonomous vehicle products. hong kong stock exchange, shares of a social media company fell after raising 380 $5 million in ibo. the second listing in hong kong comes as regulators continue tightening on trading overseas. lg energy solution plans to raise as much as $10.8 billion and

so we have more tools than ever before. we are prepared and will continue to be guided by science and stay vigilant to keep people safe. now over to you dr. fauci. dr. fauci: thank you very much, jeff. i want to talk a little bit about the details of this omicron variant. so if i could have the first slide, just to put it in some perspective, this is a list of the variants of concerns we had to deal with, what their designation is, and what the earliest documented samples were. and, of course, today, we'll be focusing on the latest, namely, the omicron variant we're dealing with. next slide. let's take a look at some of the characteristics and what has emerged over the last several days to weeks. quickly, it was first reported in bostwana on november 11 and south africa on 11/14. the thing that got everyone's attention was the large number of mutations, around 50. much larger than previous variants. and some, according to the molecular configuration, were anticipated to impact transmissibility and antibody binding. there ar

and we have folks that have determined that they have rights to the river that have yet to be resolved. and that's on top of what's already been determined to be allocated. so, we've got more to map and guess what? since the 1960s, all the southwestern states, upper basin states and lower basement states have grown, and more demands of that water. when they're whether we're talking about new mexico, arizona, nevada, california, colorado. so, how we deal with this conundrum with i'm change is really the issue at hand. i have long sought and i want to ask my question to mrs. trujillo that we've got to use all the water tools in the water tool box. in california we get water from a number of different sources. one of the primary sources is the colorado river basin. ms. trujillo, how does investment in our water infrastructure, including the entire western states, impact our water supplies and resilience to climate change? >> thank you. thank you congressman. the meeting comes from your guy so we've got it figured out -- >> as long as -- we don't take away those ten seconds you are muted.

happy to have you.one because i want to ask about this roger stone pleading the fifth on capitol hill yesterday. katie, this is kind of ridiculous. i mean, first of all, we knew that roger stone was going to show up and it was going to be a clown show. he likes the cameras, he likes the attention. it makes me wonder what stops anyone from showing up and pleading the fifth. why doesn't anybody testify and plead the fifth? >> that is such a good question because we do know, tiffany, that the lawyers like john eastman and jeff clark, lawyers who should know better that they are now invoking the fifth amendment, but they're not doing the process right. i know this is going to sound crazy to you, but i will tell you this, what roger stone did was procedurally correct by showing up and having the committee depose him and ask him question by question wherein in response to each question he invoked his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination. that is technically how the process is supposed to occur
