what you have to do is you have to have distribution of the water. we have massive amounts of water. we have massive -- massive amounts of food. they have to distribute the food. they have to do this. they have to distribute the food to the people of the island. what we have done is we have military distributing food. something that they should not have to be doing. if you look at the governor who is a good man, if you look at the governor of puerto rico, he has said we have done an outstanding job. most people have said that. puerto rico is a tough one. reporter: how important [indiscernible] pres. trump: i will let mitch -- the want to talk about that? leader mcconnell: was the question about the 20 week -- yeah. it is appointed by all our members. we expect to have a vote on it on some point -- at some point. reporter: there are those believe who will -- we believe -- how do you view what the time is to accomplish [indiscernible] pres. trump: i will be going to south korea, to china, to japan, vietnam, for the summit. we have a big economic summit

for us we have employees who don't have a home anymore or who have evacuated.but as soon as we can start bringing in visitors we will do that. >> do you know what sort of damage your property has sustained? >> we know the buildings are okay. the tasting rooms and the wineries are fine. the vineyards we can't even begin to assess because we can't access them. right now this is the busiest season in the valley because we're going through harvest. so there are grapes hanging on the vines that you can't get to because the roads are blocked. we are very concerned about atlas peak. >> we don't have hurricanes here or really tornadoes but we do have earthquakes. we do have fires and in the last three years your community has had both. i saw what the community did after the earthquake and it was powerful and i expect more of the same of that in napa and sonoma county. >> this tragedy brings out the best of people. it is very heartening just the little acts of kindness with everywhere you turn. the website that i mentioned that we posted last night we have already raise

several homes have been destroyed and 5000 acres have burned.ith a sonoma county sheriff's deputy yesterday getting a close look at the devastation in santa rosa. sergeant dave thompson took into one neighborhood near fountain grove parkway. there was just a mailbox left standing. thompson described how he helped evacuate guests from the fountain grove [ indiscernible ] before it burned to the ground. >> later on in the evening when we saw the fire coming i went through with the manager and a couple upper -- other deputies, we went door to door making nobody was in there. the fire alarms were going off. it was loud and smoky but we were doing the best we could to make sure nobody was in there. >> sergeant says the hilton hotel next door was packed with guests when it was evacuated. that hotel also burned. >>> governor jerry brown says the fires could cost tens of billions of dollars and it will be a long road to recovery. >> these kind of catastrophes have happened and they will continue to happen but we have to be prepared to do everything that

we have been told there have been injuries related to the fires but we do not have details to pass along it. >> we have been bringing in live reports from alex savidge in sonoma county at the journey's end mobile home park which is on fire. people have been evacuated from the park and we spoke live minutes ago with a cal fire firefighter who called the fire explosive growth overnight. it started at 200 acres last night and the latest estimate was 20,000 acres and growing with zero containment on the fire burning in sonoma county. the cal fire firefighter says we are still saving lives so at this point it is people over property and it will always be that way. certainly it is urgent potentially deadly situation in the north bay with a number of large fires but it is always going to be people over property. all hands are on deck so if you have not received a phone call or a knock on your door to evacuate but you think you might have to, if you feel in danger than get out. it is not the time to wait for someone to tell you to leave. it is better to be early rather than late. again, these ar

having a sense of what level of it goes. >> we have seen some. definition on what is coming out of russia. i can't figure it out. it doesn't make sense, but we are looking at it very carefully. out of iran, it has been a low-level intermittent support for taliban, mostly financial. some weapons. it is iran doing what it usually does in trying to create chaos. >> would you like to comment? >> congresswoman, what we have seen, we have clear indications of communications. in regard to the iranians, there is a clear degree of support. on russia, we don't have clear support for the taliban. >> i yield back. >> good to see you again and thank you for being here. i want to thank you for your work since you have been secretary. you have been diligent in ensuring this committee is informed, working with members, but beyond that, with the classified briefings you have held for the whole house, made certain that other members here your message. that helps us because what we have learned, we take to other members. but your message is repealing sequestration

we have the air and we have the sea. now we have the cyber and we have the outer space. in the spaces that we are living every day, we have enemies. these enemies try to destabilize what is the strength that we have which is precisely democracy. precisely democracy. in this new world we are living we should be extremely careful and because as we saw in the crisis in georgia and the crisis in crimea and the crisis we have seen how these public opinion could be managed and here could be managed in no more, no less than the most important fist of democracy which would be the day of elections. from countries trying to weaken the system that we have given ourselves. nobody knew who were the people doing the bad things there. we are facing different types of threats to our systems. tourism as well using that. all of that they are united. we have to defend ourselves and we need to know that this is not for free. the attacks exist. difficult to fight. yes. we are not ready. we are reacting but in the future we should be preventing, detiering people. exactly the same as we do in

i think we already have the votes. lethal confident we have the feel confident we have the votes.cans and democrats are working hard together to do and intermediate plan, a short-term plan, because obamacare is an investor. the reason premiums have gone up. the deductibles have gone through the roof. is terrible. unless you really have a problem, you will not be able to use them. been working together long and hard. we think we are in good shape hope tobudget, and we be in good shape again. the largest tax cuts ever passed in this country. it will spur business. you look at what other countries have done and we are competing with them. 15%. ireland will be reducing corporate rates from 12% to 8%. we cannot be a 35% in think we're going to remain competitive in terms of companies and jobs. we worked on that. i was very honored to see a man that i have had a lot of respect for. the head of fema. us an a plus. i see it just came out. james d witt, the fema director of the administration, give us an a plus or how we responded to the hurricane aftermath. all the hurricane, and that inc

we have reviewed those. a number of them have not been. blumenthal: such an order stopping any grants to new york, and i am asking you whether the department of justice is potentially violating that order. if you can come back to me with a response, i know that you may not recall, but if you can also let me know about that, i would appreciate it. say,sessions: i can just senator blumenthal, my staff just handed me a note that i have not been asked for an interview. my office certainly has not been contacted with regard to that. maybe you had better check your source. senator blumenthal: let me ask you finally. you said that the pardon power is very broad, but if that pardon power were used to prevent or forestall testimony in a lawful investigation, that could be obstruction of justice, could it not? i don't know, senator blumenthal. i have never researched that. i know you served in the department of justice as secretary and may well be more familiar than i, but i have -- my understanding is that a pardon can't be issued before a convicti

you have asked a number of questions and those are all -- many are fair questions and we owe you more information. more importantly, we owe the families of the fallen more information. that's what the investigation is designed to identify. the questions include did the mission of u.s. forces change during the operation? did our forces have adequate intelligence, equipment and traini training? was the premission assessment accurate? how did u.s. forces become separated during the engagement, specifically sergeant johnson and why did it take time to find and recover sergeant johnson? these are all fair questions that the investigation is designed to identify. what i would say is i hope from this believe overview i've outlined why our forces were in niger, what they were doing at the time of the incident on october 3 or 4. what we know and again the questions that we will work on as the investigation unfolds. with that, i'm happy to take your questions. >> thanks, general dunford. we've reported

have reacted in a quiet way -- they have reduced the purchases and the markets have reacted in a quietit is flexibility to have more debt from spain, portugal and also to buy more credit. the reduction may come more from government debt and core government debt more than credit. manus: the most important thing as i read through the notes is a draghi delivers himself optionality. he wants optionality. that is the reason why you might not commit to this. we are done a couple of surveys with economists. how do you think the market is positioned going into this? alberto: generally the market is bearish on bonds. the market is expecting some reflationary environment across the world. this is for the market around futures and hedging. if we think about institutional, ,ong-term it investment funds we have 10 years where everyone has a chelated -- has accumulated. everyone is longer duration even as yields have become lower. there is a higher percentage in the same trade. long duration of short volatility. we estimate that to be about $2 trillion group of strategies. even though there are a lo

a very similar because you have much more requirements on the project you have speech of loads you have wind you have simple things you have to hundred in very simple way is it too ambitious you think yes sometimes yes in germany so we tried to build palaces where we should build functional yes and very complete different world wide. very nice projects but is for a better fit for purpose for planes for people and of or not for purpose of maybe on an innovation and so interesting your budgets are often in the in the billions the olympics some sixteen billion euros crossrail still very big but you say it's not about the big budget it's about the power of small numbers you called it what does that mean means but you have to really go into detail a project like this have houses of task if you build your own house you're five or six or toss to build your own house to support oversee if you build a road maybe two thousand talks if you have major projects you're talking one hundred thousand of tasks that means but you have to look after any task that means a small task and just up your entire

we have got to wait for the mic. >> i have two questions. when you talk about how the germans reorganized their command structure and whatever during the end of the war, the physicians dropped out. was that true? dr. faulker: the munitions, even in 1914, in battle are the stretcher bearers. by 1917, they are a luxury. they are only in the kaiser's headquarters. they were already gone. >> when you said the second battle of the somme, they push them back to where they were three years earlier, how far was it in meters or yards? dr. faulker: somewhere along the line of 30 miles. it's a monument to break through. it forced the allies to make their own changes. it has nothing to do with technology. it is about command-and-control. prior to the shock of the german breakthrough, the french did their thing, the british and the belgians and the americans did their thing. so ferdinand foch, who i keep addressing in the lecture, we need a supreme allied commander to orchestrate everything. and foch is the man. since france is still computing -- contrib

others have been evacuated toa lockdown. others have been evacuated to a nearby hotel.e line is megan westwood, who was with her family nearby, and was evacuated to a nearby hotel. thank you for speaking to us. can you just tell us what exactly happened to you and where you work? basically we were in the bermuda play area. we werejust about to leave. one of the staff told us to get away from the windows because there was a man outside with a knife. as time went on we were told he had a gun. they barricaded the doors and kept us away from the windows. we were told he had hostages in the bowling alley. and eventually we got evacuated one by one by the back door into the next door. the hotel is full of children at the minute. obviously a lot going on. we havejust seen at the minute. obviously a lot going on. we have just seen some of the pictures you talk. and a video of you having to leave that area. you must have been absolutely petrified? yes, it was more hard work keeping the kids calm because they are confused. what was everybody else doing? taking pictures, running,

particularly if you have asthma. when you have congestion -- wouldn't you have congestion? >> when you have those floodwaters -- >> you can do it immediately. all right. octor, it has been a month. we of hospitals in puerto rico that are not accepting -- the of hospitals in part to rico not accepting patients -- do we have hospitals in puerto rico not accepting patients? >> three. are open ones not accepting patients? i would have to refer to the census. dialysis is available. that may be some services are not available. >> even though dialysis was available, they were cutting short the treatment for time. >> we were looking to work that problem out in terms of lowering the stress on some of those clinics. for places that had more functionality. brings us to the uss comfort. sitting out there. this is a question my colleague gave earlier. what is the approval, or admission process, to be approved for the comfort? island -- based on the swath of the hurricane, there we patientactue centro-medico was the level one trauma center. we would transport them there. would be byation

you have to have moisture.ve had a lot of rain and it has been very mild. >> you know how mold is formed again, symptoms, if you think you are sick get to the doctor >> if you are having a child or you are in a building an every time you go to the building few feel ill, sneeze, coughing, don't feel well it might be an environmental problem. say you are at work and you feel sick and you have symptoms and then you have a week off and home and symptoms go away, that ace clear sign is there something in that building. >> how will you find outfit is a mold problem in me oral ex- >> we can do skin testing, we can do blood testing to see if you have antibodies to the kinds of fungus that are common out there. >> if i go into you, you can find out, well to a certain degree if it is a mold problem >> if you have significant young problems i can do a chest x-ray, there is something called fungus balls. i have a patient with that. usually it is in someone with a already under lined problem with their lungs and they get an

we have examples. last years national defense authorization act really cross functional teams to address problems. these teams are composed experts in the functional organizations that rise above the interest of their bureaucracy. the team leads would exercise executive authority delegated by the secretary of defense pick such an approach might be a model for the interagency to address a crosscutting problem like cybersecurity. there is indeed urgency to our task. russian attack our election last year. they attacked multiple european countries, the nato alliance in the european union. the intelligence community assures us russian will attack our upcoming midterm elections. so far we've seen no indication that the administration is taking action to prepare for this next inevitability. finally the government cannot do this alone. as former cyber commit an innocent director general keith alexander testified, while the primary responsible of government is to defend the nation the private sector shares resp

have any of you? >> no, i have not, senator. >> no, senator. >> well, it not an easy process. >> well, so -- >> and it would seem to me, i'm not trying to undermine the bureaus, but it seems to me first of all, that you could develop technology very easily that would allow people to go to an app on their phone to put a credit freeze on and off, free of charge. that ought to be a minimum. number two, you need to explain to the american people how you're protecting their data on which your clients are making -- most of the clients in louisiana had their data stolen by equifax. and they had to go to a lot of trouble to go freeze credit, some of them are going to have their identities stolen. and it's just not right. it's just not right. and we're looking to you gentlemen to tell us what to do about it. and counselor, i don't mean to pick on you and i understand you're representing your clients, but your clients need to step up to the plate here and suggest some meaningful reforms or some reforms are goin

we do not have to have that. emily: i'm curious what your thoughts are on bitcoin.on says it's a fraud. how do you think about bitcoin? >> i think it's a developing story in the sense that from a skeptical perspective, it's a hammer looking for nails. every time they launch a new cryptocurrency company, nine out of 10 times, it's unnecessary to bring it in. having said that, the promise of the currency and the ledger of the idea of inexpensively creating fully distributed verifiable trust is really powerful. i believe we will converge on concept and companies and fundamental improvements to our society through the usage. i'm just not sure what they are yet. emily: my exclusive interview with affirm ceo and paypal cofounder max levchin. coming up, pinterest is inventing a new way for small and medium-size businesses to reach the masses. we will catch up with the president next. check us out on the radio or bloomberg.com or on the radio on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: pinterest hopes to reel in advertisers. it is introducing a new way for small and medium-si

what do we have to do? we assign the army corps of engineers, it was the right thing to do because of the diminished capacity on the island. are mobilizing under emergency authorities to rebuild to u.s. code standards. the discussion that needs to be taken after that, how do we build a power grid that is resilient. typically, we have to do is restore to a condition but that is not the way i would recommend this country to go. we doubt want to be back in this situation again after having this disaster and opportunity to change it. i will turn it over to general johnson. general johnson: the grid today percent restored based on the basic loads it had before the storm. there is incremental progress being made. the activities have been done by prepa. the corps of engineers has done a few things to get personnel on the ground. generator within the last week that helped stabilize the grid in the greater san one area and added 40 megawatts to the system, which has been helpful. we are this in a number of different

we have a patchwork. but under what breach notification did you notify the public >> -- notify the public? were trying to abide by all state laws on the recommendation, making sure we had an accurate understanding of the breach and as i mentioned earlier, that took weeks. is very difficult to retrace the footprints of these criminals. where they had been, what they had done. we had to re-create inquiries using our security team. >> you are located in georgia, correct? georgia regime that you followed? >> yes we are in atlanta. allre being mindful of state laws for breach notification. also making sure we have an accurate understanding of what data has been compromised. that was not until late in august. >> mr. smith, i appreciate you being here today. i want to understand what capacity are you in today. are you a volunteer, i paid please makeld you it clear to me. i am the former chairman and ceo of 12 years. formertting here is a ceo and someone who has agreed to work with -- >> are you a volunteer? >> y

we feel we have the votes. and as soon as we are finished with taxes, john, we really feel we have the votes to get block grants into the states where the states can much better manage this money and much better take care of the people. rather than the federal government, the state block grants, we'll do massive block grants into the various states so that the states can run the program. so we feel we have the votes, we're going to be doing that after the taxes. in the meantime, we're involved with a budget and then after the budget hopefully that gets approved. and after the budget, assuming we have the support of all the republicans because we'll have no support from the democrats or almost no support because they have really become just obstructionists. they have no good policies. and frankly, they are not good politicians but they are very good obstructionists. and that's what they do well, obstruct. the number of nominees that i have approved by the democrats are about half of what president obama had. and

and we need to have an armed militia." we have a sheriff's department. we have police department.e have the national guard. and we have the u.s. military. i mean, how much -- how many guns do you really need? and when it gets down to it, these weapons that more often than not that we're talking about are not meant for anything except hunting people, yet we will say that we do not want to limit that at all. so even if we went to the bullet aspect, expect the same kind of argument. >> i want to talk about accountability, though, too. and maybe this is a dream, but why can't there be -- and maybe it's cost and all that -- you know, somewhere where your fingerprints are identified once you touch the gun? why can't there be facial recognition technology? we live in -- [ chuckles ] we have these amazing advancements in technology. >> government registration. >> but what i want to talk about is you say the "t" word -- tax -- and all of a sudden, the conservatives and people anti-tax -- and it's democrats, too -- you know, run for the hills because they think it's gonna be all of us are g

so we do have -- we do have military officers have berma and i think we have to ask ourselves the question. the military organized the burning of nearly 300 villages. often the villages surrounded by a platoon set fire and then shoot people as they flee. i think we need to think about all the levers we have to pressure the military. they are really in charge. we can talk about the civilian side of berma, but it is the military that runs things, which is part of the reason that some folks say we should be careful about criticizing her because she doesn't have that much power. the military has the power. the second thing is twice you have used the term vigilantes, which is the official excuse. a few people just acting randomly on their own do not surround hundreds of villages and shoot people in a coordinated action. i think use of that term gives cover to the military in a way that's totally unacceptable. >> thank you. thank you. thank you very much for your testimony and service of the country. we're going to leave the record open until the close of business thursday. if you could answer t

you have some that have extremely large gaps, but you have about 20% that have very low gaps or no gaps. this tells us what we know. under the right conditions, black students can graduate at rates that are equivalent to their white peers. in the report, we also talk about comparing similar types of institutions. and a lot of our work revolves around this. what we do is compare institutions that enroll the same number of students that have similar resources, that have students from the same socioeconomic background. and that have students with similar levels of academic preparation. and what we do is, we find out that there is oftentimes about 20 to 30 percentage points difference in the graduation rate for these students. we have identified schools 100 miles apart that literally serve the exact same students and have a 30% graduation rate and 50% graduation rate. what we know is that when campus leaders get really serious about students' success and equity, they can improve graduation rates significantly. this requires looking at your data. you've got to figure out what the challenges

have worked hard. the board is elected every year. >> your investor presentation. even though by a july 29 to be compromised by august august 2nd to retain outside counsel and i understand you periodically inform the fbi but not consistently retain outside counsel so what some point you do something more significant than usual was up?. >> not true. not until later in august the size and scope of the complexity of the breach. >> august 16 your message to investors was in during support long-term growth is ryutaro what your role for consumer data. should equifax disclosed the data reached to investors?. >> we talk to them routinely been to fight to every day. >> that you retain outside counsel and i guess i am wondering if that pattern indicate somebody knew something significant was up they made the judgment not to disclose that not just 143 americans also investors and whether or not you throw him the love letter of the what they should know of that will impact the company in you had to have some clue

an example and we will now we have virginia in november in virginia you have a race that's a purple state it's a pretty close state will see have democrats perform i think the question and then the big question in politics days that there is a big resistance to trump that is a big resistance to you as well to the democrats well i'm i'm i'm just i'm within an oar in the organization but i would say i'm that i'm not the leader of the democratic party but i would say that i think you'll see we see signs that democrats are planning to vote at higher numbers than republicans they have in the special elections and i think you'll see how it looks like that in the fundraising news and the parties but no that's not true the parties bro that's not true three point five million dollars in the regulars there it's the candidates the big question is whether candidates are raising money in the candidates democratic candidates are outraising democratic candidates for house or raising house republican candidates even though they're in the majority but in the first six months of the year the republic

that having vocation have been calling. having meaningful work. it's not necessarily the thing you get paid for. plural callings. next week is the 5 hundredth anniversary of. we should pause sdp do liberal arts history on vocation. but do you have a sense of calling and meaning. if so, you're going to be happy. i think we're going through one of arguably one of the biggest transformations in economic his history. thoir historians job is be boring. everything is mostly the same. you're a narcissist and you're here. that's why you think there's tons of change. that's a historianing job. in this case, i really do believe we're going through a transition from -- you had hunter gathers and the shift to ten thousand years ago. 150 plus years ago we had the shift. 86% of americans live and work on the farm at the end of the sieve war. 60% of americans lived in cities by the end of world war ii. 60% working in cities by 1940. that's the third transition in economic history. what we're going through now, i think. we don't have alphabets. it was disruptive.

and i have been hearing that phrase for 7 years. 7 years i have been hearing it and so have you.sit down at that desk the first day, january 20, i'll have something to sign. not as easy as we thought. but we'll get it done, you watch. i'm pleased the democrats have finally responded to my call for them to take responsibility for their obamacare disaster. and work with republicans to provide much-needed relief to the american people. while i commend the bipartisan work done by senators alexander and murray, i continue to believe congress must find a solution to the obamacare mess instead of providing bailouts to insurance companies. after many, many years of government obstructing job creation, you have now an administration that promotes job creation and celebrates the dignity of work. unemployment -- this is something so important -- unemployment is almost at a 7-year low. gdp growth reached 3.2% last square and people said it would take years to get there. manufacturing confidence is at record levels, but our country and our economy cannot take off like they should and like it

>> we have to remove the taliban so now all day can achieve they don't have to have violence then we will appeal of it you already see this happening. with the taliban they have lost some key leaders and those stamped -- those who have stepped up are not as good which is made reconciliation harder because those do not represent the new fragmented taliban but the weakening of them should put us in a position they said would keep this up what does that look like they stop killing people and at that point that president ghani has made clear that they will come over to his side. so it is starting but it is ongoing now. and to be blocked military with the victory on the battlefield. >> i could pepper you with questions as to maybe i won't you have been testifying a lot today. panera we will invite to our witnesses into the room and we will be in recess for about five minutes. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> we're appreciate your patience with our schedule. >>

they don't have -- they don't have the alternate or transitional housing that they have, that they need. they're coming out of incarceration. you have the housing piece of it, but it kind of speaks to the kind of treatment that goes on within the prison system itself. and it's my understanding that for the treatment for those that are incarcerated, they lose any pre-existing medicaid benefits when they are due to be released, and -- when they come in, and then they have to reapply at the time of the release. you have a situation where at the time somebody might need the treatment most, they don't have that coverage. what are we doing as we're dealing with the need for treatment for those that are in this situation, which is really very much in flux, whether you're in prison or whether you're coming out of prison, those that are in an out-patient but really have no place, how big of an issue is the housing piece in terms of how we deal with treatment? >> i think that the housing issue is a very significant, very significant one. we know that a large number of homeless folks in our countr

we have much stronger platforms. we have a far better way to communicate a message.mily: is this a battle donald trump should be picking? mark: no. companies and brands endorsed players, but come on. that is who he is. to me there is three donald trumps. there is the donald trump time -- trying to be the president, donald trump the salesperson, and donald trump the twitter , troll. when he trolls on twitter, he is fair game. anyone can take him on. when he is in campaign mode, you just ignore him. when he is president you finally start to pay attention. you just let him pretend to be president or do his thing and hopefully the best happens. emily: you have made your political views very clear. what are your biggest concerns about this administration? mark: that he just does not know what is going on. it is just not in him to make an effort to understand or learn. possibly because he is not capable, or possibly because he is not willing. i just do not think he has it in him. emily: does he make it through four years? mark: i would say 25% chance to maybe 30% chance he

we have another panel. i know you have other things to do. so, we are going to recess and then allow the second panel to come forward and with that, thanks on behalf of all of us for your time this morning. >> thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> yes, sir. >>> i want to welcome our second panel and thank you for your patience. it was longer morning but we made it and so, thank you, i will introduce you and recognize you for your 5:00 openings and mr. cummings is coming and he glaci graciously told me to start. to my right, director of census issues at the government accountability office. carol rice, assistant inspector general for economic and statistical program assessment for the department of commerce office of the inspector general. and president and ceo of the leadership conference on human and civil rights. i think all of you have testified before. you know, with the color system. you know that green is go. yellow is get lou the light. and red is stop. i will not stop you right at 5 a:00, because it's im

we have the latest coming up >> we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break >> we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break . >>> welcome back to ktvu news, all of the news, weather and information you need to know throughout your day. >>> two leading senators have come up up with a teal to fund the healthcare subsidies that president donald trump stopped last month. the bill would provide states with greater flexibility under the affordable care act in exchange for helping people without of pocket costs. it's not clear if the bill will get enough support to pass. >> a deadline is looming for senators that want to pass tax reform. but its chances are passing are in doubt. we are in washington, dc with more. >> reporter: it's a race against the clock for republican senators working to get a budget resolution passed by weeks end. the deadline is critical for the gop effort to pass tax reform this year. on fox and friends this morning, the director of office of management and budget spoke about tax reform. >> we will need to pass the budget to use reconciliati

>> we don't have total power obviously. so we do have to do our jobs. also i think we can be more transparent. talk more about who we are and how we go about our work. it is all of that. i think people are entitled to know how to reach us. we can show more of the documents and we can disclose full transcripts or full audio of interviews we conducted. we did a focus group and people didn't know what date lines were. they thought it meant she made a lot of phone calls. i think we need to tell people that she has been covering wars in afghanistan, here is who she is. here is her background. to the best of my knowledge you established the foundation in the news room to attract money to help you cover the news. >> we literally just started that. that's not why i feel more comfortable. that's brand new. i feel comfortable because over the last year -- and this is one thing i would point to. >> so trump has been wonderful? >> that's a complicated answer. just to finish, i think for my institution -- and i suspect the same is true for marty's the evolution and

it doesn't have to be the one you have. so in that instance, we can't track those metrics. >> and if you break down in political twitter, it sure looks like there are a whole bunch of people that have 5,000 -- they're following 5,000, and they've got 5,000 -- they're following 5,000, and they have 5,000 followers and looks like many of these accounts that are this sort of most laughably fake are self-referential. that they're retweeting back and forth at each other. do you have some way of quantifying which impressions are likely inside the universe of the 95% that you think are real users and is that how you prioritize, trying to figure out where the big problems are? >> we prioritize -- we obviously prioritize automated activity. we saw that in written testimony. it's a way for malicious actors it get their voice out. so the instance that you would discussed, where it looks like there is just a lot of retweeting among a circle of followers, some of that can be positive and natural if you have a number of friends you're fo

emily: what do you have to add? >> i really have nothing to add.is an important issue, and microsoft is always very principled in their actions. emily: we were talking about fake news early in the show. facebook, google, twitter, all were called before congress to answer for these russian political ads. are you looking at microsoft whether russia did anything similar on microsoft's platforms? >> we are looking, but we have not found anything yet. i think we need to do two things. first, we need to look at 2016 and ask what we can learn from this. it doesn't matter whether you are twitter, facebook, anyone else. the more you learn, the better you will be. the question we should focus on is not what happened in 2016, but how do we prepare for 2018? how do we prepare around the world? there will be a new prime minister elected in 2019 in canada. there will be a presidential race in the united states in 2020. let's assume that there are people who are going to get more sophisticated in trying to abuse these social media platforms. they are going to get

have a broad. if something buys something from them for they receive it from a form party, you have a right to challenge it, take it to court, but we think this law has never been enforced in that way. >> i am glad that you agree that we have a right to go to court. >> i did not intend to concede selected i cut you off? >> no, he was alert to something i said. >> it's good to have a here before the committee again. i know it's been a long day and i regret that many of us have conflicting appointments including at the white house to talk about tax reform and other issues. it's good to be back. i'm proud of the job they have done is attorney general. those of us who know you personally and have worked with you, none of us are surprised, you're still the same person of character and someone committed to the rule of law. i just want you to know how much we appreciated and serving in public life is sometimes not fun and certainly you have caught your own springs and arrows in the process encourage you n

you have 30 seconds. they better be worth it. >> i work in the information technology industry and over the years we've helped the sector a great deal but there's always a suspicion that we are too close to the intelligence community. any idea on how the computer industry and network industry can assure the customers that we are not too close to you? >> i will take that one. the foreign entities need to believe that to take advantage continuing on the path that the heavy u.s. policy to be mindful of the propositions of the industrial base and recognize they will always be competitive imperatives forcing one to push towards the other. ladies and gentlemen, what an amazing panel. [applause] thank you. i couldn't echo you more. wow. that was incredibly insightful, thoughtful. the blood sweat and tears that this whole group puts through the fight is incredible so thank you for that and we are coming into the final throes. we are into the last panel and this will touch on the difficulties and this is one of th

you have got to have courage. you have to take things in your stride.t. talking about retail, i talk about it a lot on this programme. what is the retail sector like the moment? for me, it is exciting and interesting. i have decided to work with a business that is predominantly online. there is a great trend towards online shopping that you will definitely see and you have talked a lot about. i think it‘s tough if you are running a big state of stores. more and more pressure is coming on to stores. you have to deliver a retail experience, it is not just have to deliver a retail experience, it is notjust enough to have a shop. people are shopping in many different ways. i think that is quite challenging. i think the consumer backdrop is quite tricky. there is a lot of uncertainty in the air. brexit has been a part of that. consumers are feeling the pinch from inflation. retailers have to consistently compete and really look after customers to make sure that they can continue to grow profitably. it‘s tough. they can continue to grow profitably. it's tough

because we have, as you probably know, we either have the votes or are very close to having the votes. we will get the votes for having really the pottial of having great healthcare in our country. so they are indeed working. but it is a short term solution so that we don't have this very dangerous little period including dangerous period for insurance companies, by the way, for a period of one year, two years we will have a good solution. but we'll have a great solution ultimately for healthcare. and they are working together. i know very much what they're doing. okay? thank u. >>hank you. mr. prime mister, on turkey, do you still regard turkey as a democracy? and should turkey remain a member of nato? >> translator: i have to say that despite our concerns regarding turkey, despite the concerns that are also based on the daily intervention, nevertheless, we continue to support the turkish course towards europe. we respect it as a regional power, and we believe it must ay oriented toward the european perective, oriented to itsnectn to the west or toward nato. we do believe the europea

good to have you onset. >> thank you for having me. >> you have the democrat saying essentially he's going to run away from nancy pelosi. that's not new, but do you think we'll see more of that come 2018? >> i do. this is what you always heard in private whispered behind the scenes from democratic law makers and candidates, the elephant in the room, since we are talking about democrats here, but more senior people are speaking out against it. they watched what happened in the georgia special earlier this year with the adds tagging nancy pelosi. and there's a generational change here. the entire house leadership on the democratic side is run by people in their 70s. and there's a younger crop of people coming in. the huge crop of kaencandidatest stepped up and are not super loyal to the leadership. >> how does the party nationally get involved in this? do they, will they, how should they make that happen? >> i was speaking to folks at the dnc who said, even like tom perez, other leaders are going out to the red states and getting involved with millenials at the grassroots level is tryi

you have to have the mechanical harmony. is it good looking or not?tions and think the watch has something new then we , create the inner works which will make the aesthetic happen. the first thing you have to do is to order the right material because we use a lot of different materials in the mechanical movement, going from brass to steel and titanium or gold and you need a specific material for every different part of it. once you have the raw material, you start remaking the components. you have different kind of raw materials going to different workshops, so depending on the part you want to make. if you want to do watch making on a superhigh level, you need extremely skilled and specifically trained people. we have more than 30 different job descriptions, purely different education, and you find this education, this training, only in the region. because nowhere else in the world do you need this kind of know-how. working with tiny parts is a challenge because tiny parts make very small tolerances. we are working in microns. you cannot do anything

having looked at the operations we have there and the hardworking people we have in these facilities, i can tell you that the people who are shipping drugs through this country aren't going through a lot of efforts to cover their tracks. because they know a small percent are getting seized. and once they notice that, they'll change. >> i'm certainly hopeful that within fda it is -- it's kind of a multiagency approach with how we're going to deal with us, working with postal service, working with dea. but, again, as you say they're hiding in plain sight. and it doesn't take a genius to figure out how to access this and then bring these products into the communities. i want to ask one more question here, and that is about treatment. senator franken raised it, treatment facilities and our reservations in the lower 48. we've had some conversations about how in alaska this 16-bed limit on medicaid reimbursement, the imds is a real limiting factor for us. but i also appreciate as much as we need in patient, when we have outpatient treatment, a lot of the population we're dealing with are in

we have the lowest fees, we have great service.also have a partnership to have a full range of etf's, some of them are proprietary etf's, some are not. our goal is to have everything that someone could reasonably want on our platform, and make it available to them in a way that is most value added. david: you mentioned low fees, good service, but what do think investors mostly want? low fees, good service or high returns? abigail: everything. [laughter] they want all three and you better be doing more of every single one of those every year or you will find yourself behind. because every year, i tell everybody because it is what i hear from our customers -- give me more, and give it to me for less money. david: who manages your money? does fidelity manager money? -- manage your money? does that person get nervous because you are the ceo? [laughter] abigail: i think part of my role as the ceo is to also experience the company has a customer. i do have a couple of representatives who work as a team, who call me several times a year a

i know you have to run. you have a lot of work to do. and let me thank you you and thank all of your colleagues and all of the men and women of the las vegas metropolitan police force, any deed so much of the world is watching and so anxious to get answers right now. how are you guys holding up personally, including yourself? >> so listen, i'll tell you that the men and women of the metropolitan police department, security officer, fire, ems, doctors, everybody just really followed through on a pln that we had practiced many, many times here in las vegas. pt aftermath that you are asking about, however, i'll tell you that it is a big part of the follow on after a very traumatic event. not only do you look at it from how it impacted all of our officers who were shot, who had family members that were shot, firefighters, ems, people know in vague, we are only 2 million, but seems like everybody knows somebody that was impacted by this tragedy. we lost charleston hartfield who was a personal friend of ours. and i have to tell you it's a stru

you have to use dynamic scoring. you have to. you have to assume that budget has to assume three-3.1% growth or you will not get much of tax cut out of this. at the end of the day i will make a prediction and then i'll have to do a cnn interview. i think they'll turn right back to where we started. larry and i four or five months ago called this the three easy pieces. at the end of the day you will have somewhere around 20% corporate rate and hopefully it won't but hopefully it's higher than that. that is the heart and soul of the plan. everything else and it's windowdressing. this is about getting the business rates down we make america more competitive in the global economy. then they will do the read penetration and that's a no-brainer. you bring back the money and build do a [inaudible] all of that money whether they bring it back they will be a tax on it. that will raise about 200 billion and then the dub or the standard deduction and i don't think they'll be able to do anything with rates. i don't think the rates will chang

so now you have an estimated 07,000 rohingya that have been drisk -- 507,000 rohingya that have been drisken from their homes. most of them have been forced to cross over the border in bangladesh. hundreds have been killed. but as i say, we don't have journalists able to cover the story. they're denied access to the area. so i'm sure it's more than than the reported number. much higher. 200 villages have been burned to the ground. land mines have been placed inside burma's border with bangladesh so that is maiming some seeking safe haven. it's little wonder that the u.n.'s human rights chief called this a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. bangladesh deserves credit, and i talked again with the bangladesh ambassador the other day, they deserve credit for opening their borders to this influx of refugees. the government, i know, will honor its promise in bangladesh to build shelters for new arrivals and provide medical services. in response to this crisis, the trump administration announced that it would provide $32 million in humanitarian assistance and 20ds million of that is goin

to have jobs --you have to have an economy to do even that.e don't want to roll ourselves back to the dark ages as a result of our environmental policies. here is one final point -- i have been to europe. i talked to energy focus in europe. they are going back to a higher oal in their energy profile because they cannot afford skyrocketing prices of electricity and be competitive in a global economy. al toe are exporting our co other parts of the world who are pursuing it -- using it to pursue their own version of the american dream. we cannot stop our own economic growth when we are already doing more than anyone else in the world. host: before we let you go, we have to ask you about some internal politics on capitol hill, if you will. the chair of the budget committee, congressman diane black running for governor -- she may leave her term early, therefore handing off the gavel of that committee. black running for governorare y- interested, will you get it? will: i don't know if i get it, but i have put forward a case to be made that i would l

did you have a question? >> can you describe the process of getting victims back to their home states if they didn't live here? >> well, that's quite a lengthy process. in a nutshell, the families of the decedents will make arrangements with local area mortuaries, and they are the folks that provide details and provide the transportation back to their home states. one last question, if you would. >> can you estimate a percentage of how many victims were local and how many were not? >> i don't have that estimation but we're putting that together and we should have that by the time our list is finalized and confirmed. [ inaudible question ] >> it does not. excuse me? could you re -- i'm not sure i understood that and i want to give you accurate information. >> does the figure, 59 dead, include the shooter? >> no, no, we have 58 dead plus the shooter for a total of 59. >> when you release the list, will you going to post it online at the same time you announce it to us here? >> this is the last question. i don't
