a unique clean human instinct. is it true that status is fund a mental human name and our desire for it explains much of the world irrationality and conflict? can we as human beings harness our species, see the power to cooperate and prioritize the we over the me join us to find out in studio be descriptive. ah so nicholas, you are an evolution, me, biologist. you right. really well in your book about how court perceives that kind of human species is. are there any other kind of species that share our propensity for incredible cooperation? yes, and in fact, corporation is ubiquitous on the planet. we see lots and lots of species that behave socially like we do. and i think it's often quite tempting. in fact, when we thinking about comparing human behavior to what we see in the species, to instinctively, always think about our closest living relatives on the planet by chimpanzees and no bows and the other grey tapes. but in fact, one of the sort of biggest revelations is that often where we find the most profound si

human rights council has already created a commission to investigate all alleged abuses of human rights that occur in the context of russia's aggression against ukraine, including the root causes. they will create an investigative mission in ukraine to document human rights violations and atrocities akron due to -- occurring due to russia's invasion. the icc investigation need financial resources and political support. congress should support initiatives to document and report evidence, as has been done with syria. should share relevant evidence, whether international or domestic. we must do all in our power to protect human rights defenders, journalists and witnesses. without them, accountability will be impossible. congress should make sure the u.s. support for accountability is centered on the rights of victims. there is a lot that we can do. we do not need to reinvent the wheel. we do need to make sure we distinguish between the russian leaders who are responsible and the russian people who have no say in this. let me just say that some people argue today that these beginnings are n

is happy to get a question about the resourcing of human rates movements worldwide the human rights movementn the world nobody has enough resources but lgbtqi+ persons is one of the most underfunded categories of human rights and development. i would go so far as to say there was a dangerous funding gap for those issues globally that i want to rattle off a couple of examples. let's think about covid. out of 4500 resource mechanisms only one explicitly funds those communities. globally there is approximately $560 million per year given in philanthropic funding so one could argue the number could be bigger —- bigger but it's not about place to start. but of that, approximately 300 million went to lgbtqi+ rights in the united states and by contrast is 260 million was given to all other countries in the world combined seven more stark terms in north africa just $7 million were all of asia and pacific the region with the highest population the world are just $31 million so when we share these numbers to emphasize the question that one of the most important things that the us could do to advance s

you mentioned human rights and our role on the human rights council. the second was fentanyl, and how we can perhaps utilize the international organizations to crack down on the smuggling of the fentanyl ingredients from china and mexico to the united states. if you could touch on those two issues, but start with fentanyl, because you did talk about human rights. michele: thank you, ranking member. as i came into this position in the international organization bureau, i am aware of our involvement in two areas of the u.n. system, universal postal system, of course, looking at how some of this product is moved from countries into our country, and also the work of unodc on these issues. i do look forward to continuing to engage with you and your staff, because i could not agree more. this is a critical issue for our population here. i look forward to continuing and discussing this important issue with you. rep. malliotakis: how do you think we can utilize these organizations to stop this worldwide drug trafficking? michele: i think you put your finger on

human rights counsel effectively denying the existence of lgbtq people according to the human rights lobby deeply the u.s. security systems should get leverage to work with foreign officials on lgbtq rates and can you think of an example where the u.s. is effectively used its leverage to. >> the u.s. security assistance gives us leverage, yes of course it does. every component of a bilateral relationship impacts our ability to negotiate with other governments or priorities where they are aligned or theyip diff. i think the challenge always is how do you take into account all of the different dimensions of a bilateral relationship whether it's free and fair elections, human rights, security assistance, climate change. there are so many issues. i have to say i would probably have to give back to you about an example. >> guys do that. i will really appreciate that and let me ask one more question. it's about title 42 and i'm deeply concerned by the biden administration's decision to continue the previous administration's policy of using title 42 to justify turning away desperate asylum-

the human rights council. you just hearing the recorded message from the secretary state entity blinkin that proceedings of the human rights council. what we've already seen, the russian number of the russian department is to so get lab roth addressing it again by video, because he couldn't get that because he couldn't get through the space, couldn't get permission from the you can travel to geneva that continues for some time and in fact, the human rights council love a special session starting on thursday on ukraine and sex dribbling can refer to as in his speech that they're seeking a probe into what's going on on the ground. now ukraine has proposed this, a commission of inquiry would mean 3 independent experts examining human rights abuses carried out in ukraine since 2014 in dumbass and in crimea, but also across the rest of the ukraine. in the last, since the last 6 days on the start of the invasion, put on top of that, the fact that there are now war crimes investigations in the have the international

human rights council. and we are working as never before to increase a number of qualified americans in leadership positions across the international system. we've made clear that we are not simply returning to international organizations. we are restoring american leadership to promote and protect american interests and values. and our strong, principled leadership and the relationships we are building with partners are key in safeguarding multilateral institutions from those such as the people's republic of china and the russian federation that seek to bend the u.n. system to their authoritarian agendas. we need the u.n. at its best. that means a u.n. dedicated to its founding ideals and committed to accountability and a culture of reform. a u.n. that rejects anti-israel bias, anti-semitism and racism in all its forms, a u.n. that promotes humanitarian principles, sustainable development and cooperation among nations. a u.n. that embraces, not excludes, the active, meaningful participation of civil socie

over human conflict. our curriculum will run all the way from k-12, but we will have a compressed version that can be taught solely at the high school level. there will be content that pertains to western civilization generally, then content for america, and another layer that pertains to each of the 50 state and a select few foreign countries. our goal is to provide a curriculum that is so exciting and so well rooted in sheer common sense that parents will demand that it be adopted. the american civics project will not double down on approaches that have already failed. it is new. it is different. it is fundamental. it teaches children the miracle -- and indeed it is a miracle -- of cooperation so early in their development that when they first learn of prevent -- of progressivism, they will see it as sofa street, whose aim is to pave the way for ruling us by pitting us against each other. thank you. [applause] >> i will make a few biographical statements and then lead into our first question, which i ho

i mean when we talk about the humanities, the whole purpose of the humanities is to enter gate our humanity. how do we do that? we have to have -- we have to be prompted by -- by books, by art, by the underlying principles of science, by mathematics to think about things that are greater than we are. so i think that's the fundamental freedom that you experience from a liberal arts education, the freedom from being ourselves in the iron cage of the moment we live in. so an institute that allows that kind of transcendence is fulfilling the purpose of higher education. >> thank you. i am going to ask one follow-up question, then we will go to the audience. pano, we would be remiss if we didn't talk about the university of austin. if you followed this, you know, the media, particularly higher education media, there was a great deal of criticism. but if you look at the response from potential students, faculty and donors, of course there was a warm reception. tell us about the promise and perils of the university. and kind of respond to those who say, well, is it going to just be ideological in

secondly with regards to human rights and human rights council, it is so offensive and disturbing to so many of us that these perpetrators sit and actually run this council, and we've mentioned a few of them earlier like china and russia, and cuba and venezuela. what specifically do you think that we should be doing to change the makeup of this body. to also make sure that they are actually not legitimizing human rights violators, but instead cracking down on them. >> ranking member, i could not agree more. the hrc is flawed, it is a flawed membership. we will continue to work for medium turn, long term change in the membership of the human rights council. so we can work with a group of countries with better human rights records. we are going to continue to engage with like-minded members on the council and try to encourage countries with good human rights records, good democracies and transparent records to actually run or to be candidates for the council. to engage with new ranking members and other members of this committee on how we can get the hr sea to focus. on some of these w

human rights council.point in the history, the principles at the heart of this council's work and the entire united nations are being challenged. as we meet, russia is carrying out a premeditated, unprovoked and unjustified attack on ukraine. violating international law, flouting the core principles of international peace and security, and creating a human rights and humanitarian crisis. reports of russia's human rights aabuses and violations of international humanitarian law are mounting by the hour. russian strikes are hitting schools, hospitals, residential buildings, they're destroying critical infrastructure, which provides millions of people across ukraine with drinking water, gas to keep them from freezing to death, and electricity. civilian buses, cars, even ambulances have been shelled. russia is doing this every day across ukraine. the high commissioner said yesterday that russia's attacks had killed at least 100 civilians, including children. and wounded hundreds more. and said she expects the r

that they knew how to apply pressure upon the human mind and break the human mind. and it was that, that set off this whole pursuit that laid ultimately to the creation of the she eyes, doctrine of psychological torture. this was a time of the brain washing scare. there were show trials in eastern europe, in hungary and poland, which aroused a lot of concern in the west because people seem to be confessing to crimes that they hadn't committed or mm. most importantly was the child of cardinal mines and sky and hungry. and jessica was already in natural war 2, quite famous because she was known for having resisted the nazis and their occupation of hunger. and then after the war, he became the cardinal. and the primary of the church. they arrested him. they can find him, it was jesus being an aristocrat. he became a kind of target of that regime. and then he was put on trial, were publicly he confessed to the charges against him. and there was this fear in washington, the prince of the church, in a carton, a man known for his courage, under nazi pressure. that if he co

the researchers hope to apply this knowledge to humans. one day the hearts of zebra fish have self healing powers too . though these function quite differently than the brains here at the university of erm genetics researcher, gilbert vida, has identified a molecular pathway which helps to steer the healing process with the thunder em filters. if both, what's special about zebra fish is that the heart muscle cells which die during an injury can be completely replaced. i was in a box normally and the adult tissue of almost all animals, including humans. the stem cells are responsible for creating new cells. eva fishes, with zebra fish, it's different here. so mature hot muscle cells would start to divide again. it's really very unique process because normally sort cells on the longer able to divide an am vita and his team also found the signaling protein that triggers the increased division of heart muscle cells bordering on the wound. they were able to directly influence the regeneration process, but do zebra fish and humans have enough in

davis, who has a long standing interest in human rights. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. davis: the putin regime requires every strategy and every action we can muster to put a stop to russia and restore sanity to our world order. russia's aggressive and brutal behavior, brutal action toward ukraine, is beyond what i call the pale. we have no other choice but to step in and put a stop. i strongly support this resolution and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. brady: i'm pleased to yield one minute to the gentleman from arkansas, mr. crawford. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. crawford: i rise in support of h.r. 7108. everyone here on the floor with me today can agree that russia's aggression in ukraine with beale ruse's support is reprehensible and wrong. while i strongly believe the next round of sanctions will continue to hold russia and belarus accountable we can't ignore soaring fertilizer costs b

also we've got the human rights council going on in geneva. lots of countries that are talking about ukraine in this beach is high level speeches, many of the video links that's important. what they have to say and was telling you in geneva human rights council on thursday. a specific session is going to start on the crisis. and you kind and finally let me tell you was i do the magic picture of things going on right now across europe to tell you about what's going on in finland. the finish parliament is meeting that author, petition of $50000.00 signatures, which calls from meeting in parliament and emergency meeting got to be discussing the situation on the ground. but i think some parliamentarians that are going to be raising the issue of finland, joining nato, finland, which has a border over a 1000 kilometers long with russia is not a native member, but public opinion there is change. all right, thank you for that, james. we're going to cross back now to poland to last in poland, where the nato secretary general installed burge, i believe,

as we know from almost any basic medical understanding, human contact is what makes us human. and a leg enables a person to have it a sense of normalcy in their lives. and when they are completely isolated from any human contact and often kept in this sensory isolation, you will literally easily become severely mentally impaired. and then they came okay. consult with the she i can she had to work for them. is really the progenitor, modern psychological torture on death. this project funded another guy regale named doctor on camera. what you and cameron did at elmwood on city was, was close to monstrous. ah, i came in psychotherapy, i was just crying, crying cry was a hopeless. i didn't know what to expect. they said i was going to the psychiatric ward you met that man, that the cameron, that's you and cameron. yes, i met him and we were all was terrified of him. why? we all felt fear. we all had a fear of him, and we didn't want him to notice us because whatever he did, whenever there was a patient with them, the patient was always screaming ah when i was showing wrong when i

for example, the european court of human rights. so it does not have a great track record in complying with international law. no. and what role could the other important court that's also headquartered in the hague? the i c. c, the international criminal court. what, what role could they potentially play? because they are currently looking into the russian invasion. what do you expect to come out of that if anything, i mean, i think the international criminal court, as you said, has a potentially very big role. they have opened an investigation and they have jurisdiction to investigate any crimes that happen in ukraine that fall under its jurisdiction, dating back to 2014. so it is quite possible that the i, c, c. m, can bring prosecutions. and the, you know, that the big question is going to be, how are they going to get a either cooperation from russia or failing that if they do indict russian nationals for violations in ukraine? will other states cooperate to make sure that those nationals appear in the dock to answer any charge

violation of human human rights torture cruelty and treatment. that's a would have put in the bill. these aren't my wordsmy be the these are the words of the mostly democrats are wrote the bill the magnitsky act. what they are designed to do is to take the magnitsky act and to drive a to drive the whole and at the tea push anything through and anti-sanctions on anybody anywhere in the world based on vague ambiguous language that not specific trait all i'm asking is that irony here's the author of the magnitsky magnitsky actor honor foror sayg we don't want the magnitsky act any more. the president can sanction anybody in the world any time. it's a's idea. he his rife for abuse from her president. many had arguments of the previous president so they want to give unlimited power to their president because they like him better. guess what i'm an ecumenical kind of guy. no president should have bass pro. all presidents powers should be controlled and all i'm asking is we passed the original magnitsky act. this is going to be forever. or two. we first started and said we were going to do

it's great plant human or humans wouldn't have co-evolved with it for 12,000 years. i mean go online and you see people wearing hemp clothing in anatolia turkey graves still in good shape 12,000 years later food also 10,000 years and as we might say party favors or relaxation or spiritual chars of ganja in the you know, south asia altars and shrines and things like that. this is not a problem plant. this is excuse me for imparting my own whatever your concept is for the divine but in my own spirituality things are given by divine will it's in the bible. it's not just in the bible. it's in chapter one of genesis verse i think 23 you shall have all the plants and see to use not unless nixon creates a billion dollar bureaucracy called the dea and i should ask folks from the dea here today show of hands. you doing a great job guys. go after the math go after the heroine the prescription heroin dealers. so first and foremost stop worrying about thc in general but specifically with regard to hemp our first step and it's already two bills introduced in congress and most lik
