the panel found that despite financial sanctions imposed in 2016 and before, north korea's networks are adapting by using agents experienced in moving money across borders, and by foreign businesses, banks, and companies that are complicit in this effort. they did identify chinese financial institutions as the number one culprit among others throughout the international community. last year, the u.s. treasury department said this network of front companies directly supports north korea's weapons of mass destruction program. department of treasury also said north korea is a threat to the u.s. financial system. our legislation will target these intermediaries and facilitators, imposing mandatory sanctions and finds on the banks, companies, and financiers that conduct business with north korea. we intend to present a clear choice. you can do business with us or you can do business with north korea, but you cannot do business with both. the penalties are escalating, allowing foreign firms the chance to change course and stop working with the north korean regime. this model is patterned afte

our top stories: the us house of representatives votes overwhelmingly to impose new sanctions on russia, iran and north korea. moscow says the move would complicate relations. how long will he last? america's attorney general faces yet more public criticism from his own boss. i told you before, i'm very disappointed in the attorney general. but we will see what happens. time will tell. one of the vatican's most seniorfigures cardinal pell has appeared in court in australia to face multiple charges of sex abuse. he insists he's innocent. tales from the dark heart of the caliphate. we hear from the wives of islamic state fighters who've fled their former stronghold, raqqa. and how britain's gay culture left the shadows and became mainstream: we look back on the 50—year battle for equality. it's a powerful indication of how little trust there is between president trump and members of congress from his own party. the us house of representatives has voted overwhelmingly for new sanctions on russia and set them up quite deliberately in a way that makes it very hard for the president to change

a key concern for many countries is a failure to impose sentences for traffickers that are sufficient to deter the criminal activity or reflect the nature of the crime. we still see instances of government officials protecting fromels, taking bribes traffickers and obstructing investigations for profit. while we still see governments criminalized and penalize for crimes they traffickers forced them to commit, this is why we continue to use the trafficking of persons report as an instrument of diplomacy, a means to affect global change and motivate tangible progress around the world. we hope it will continue to prompt the government to establish national action plans and implement meaningful antitrafficking policies. i am very proud of this report, and i'm happy to take any questions you might have. >> wanted to ask about the child soldiers prevention ask -- act list. human rights watch put out a statement about an hour ago even as of last week, there were children that were part of irma's armed forces, and in iraq, children have died writing islamic state -- there were children that w

this rule was imposed despite the fact that content service providers might be creating congestion. this rule was imposed, despite the fact that content service providers might find it profitable to pay for pay prioritization there are content delivery networks that are in existence that are hired by content service providers in order to speed up the rate at which their content is coming in. so the policy as imposed with the title ii regulations, michael katz called it anti-competition regulation. basically you are harming differentiation between different content providers and content services. or service providers. so there's really a difference between something being intellectually free and being economically free. or another way of thinking of it is one might be interested in open-internet. that doesn't mean a free internet. consequences that we've already seen, we know there's going to be reduced investment, it is obvious both from a theoretical perspective as well as an empirical one. there have been studies, singer and horny also did a study showing a fall, not just in the r

sanctions have already been imposed, additional sanctions will be imposed if they continue this behavior. that's the important message that he had to give to mr. putin. i cannot explain why mr. trump does certain things and undermines his own statements at times. it's difficult to understand. >> you've been a strong proponent of stepping up, in fact, pressure on russia as a result of election meddling, the senate passed a new sanctions last month a rote of 98-2, obviously bipartisan. the house has its own bill but that's been delayed because the white house opposes some details in that legislation. now there is talk that that issue has been resolved. from where you sit, are the senate and house going to be able to agree on a piece of legislation imposing new sanctions on russia for election interference? >> well, i certainly hope so. our bill passed 98-2. it was very bipartisan, a very strong bill. it speaks to the appropriate role for congress. we think it gives the president a much stronger hand in dealing with mr. putin. it makes it clear these must be imposed if russia does these beh

a bill imposing new is now on it's way to the senate. and this one has strong support from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. lawmakers agreed to impose sanctions not only on russia -- but also north korea and iran for what they call behavior. the message for russia though -- this was in response to election meddling as well. the bill also gives congress the power to block the president's ability to veto or undo these sanctions. the final vote -- 419-3. right now-- police are looking for the man behind a kidnapping and robbery in a busy section of northwest. take a look at this picture. police say this man kidnapped another man at knifepoint last week along the 1700 block of 13th street northwest. the suspect reportedly forced the victim to drive to an atm where he was able to pull out an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing. but in the process was caught on camera. if you recognize the man in this picture-- you are asked to call police immediately. in arlington-- a homeowner gets the scare of his life when he finds out that a st

security policy have any effect on a saudi security calculus, imposing this blockade? >> can you tell us your name please? kakitani. the policy is very clear when it comes to this crisis. i don't think the u.s. policy is intending to create a crisis in in the gulf region. believe, there was some misinformation given to the united states, these countries misled the united states and quickly the united states understood. they were very clear on how this crisis should end and we should negotiate. they underscored the importance of the gcc council as a unity. thank you. i am an intern. i'm from bahrain. how does the current situation within the countries in the region affect qatar's strategy with regards to the saudi-led coalition in yemen? according to the u.n., they have caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. thank you for the question. to clarify that, the role of qatar in the yemen war was subject only to defend the saudi borders so we do not engage in operations inside. only to defend the saudi borders. in the first day of aggression against qatar, they as

laws and un resolutions and imposes a penalty and those that violate them. puts in place measures that make it harder for north korea to import items for the prohibitive programs as well as constrain proliferation. they must be held accountable and to refrain from doing so would be to condone illegal activity and give defective immunity and undermined un resolutions. success of the administrations talk tough about it but instead engaged in incrementalism and imposing sanctions and defending u.s. laws. officials responsible will say that they have listened evidence of north korea, chinese and other entities that are in violation that they were right prevented from implementing those. although trump has criticized obama's north korea policies he has yet to distinguishes. trumps policy of maximum pressure to date has been anything but. he continues to pull american punches against north korean and chinese violations of u.s. law. the trump administration pressed frustration and took actions against a bank. there are indications there'll be sanctions additional c

seven years after obamacare was imposed on our country, we will vote on the critical first step to finally move beyond its failures. many of us have made commitments to constituents to provide relief from this failed left wing experiment. and now we have a real opportunity to keep those commitments by voting to begin
