institutions.t's a huge number. legally, parents can leave their child in a state—run institution and it's encouraged. but some families choose instead to fight to keep their children. hidden away in the ukrainian countryside, where the nearest town is 60 kilometres away. this is where 86 disabled men and boys live. i've been given access to this government—run institution, a place so many don't see. there's little routine and many of those living here aren't clean. there's just not enough staff here to look after everyone. abuse and self—harm happens in places like these, so green paint is used to help staff keep track of injuries. for most... hello. this is all they've ever known. he's 15—years—old. even though he has a family, he's lived in this orphanage since he was four. there are just 12 orphans here. the rest have families. loved ones they rarely see. how long have some of the kids or adults been here? the nurse tells me that this man has been here for 20 years. she says he's 32. even at th

more than 100,000 children live in institutions.m have families, but because these families can't get enough support, they gave their children to these institutions. they've never seen a city, they've never seen a train, they've never seen a market. every day, nothing happens. that's why it's about hope. it's about hope. they have no hope. the change in the law will help give these children and theirfamilies more rights. it's time for reform and reform for children with disabilities means we will support the family, we will give an opportunity to stay at home and to have enough services to live a normal life. one thing that has already changed, a new law that means all schools in ukraine must teach disabled students. speaks ukrainian i'm almost ukrainian! in a secondary school in kiev, artemis one of a small number of disabled pupils who can now take part in lessons with other children and he loves it. the main challenge for artem is getting to his classes. the school has tried to be more accessible, but he has to rely on his dad to

whether those institutions are hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges, predominantly black institutions or historically black colleges and universities or hbcus of which virginia state university is a member. i am a product of hbcus, but more importantly, it's the family business. my mother and my aunt went to howard university. all right. i went to howard university. just checking. me and my brother and law went to howard university. my wife went to tuskegee university. my sister went to fisk, my other as i say to dillard. my three sister in-laws went to florida university. [ cheers and applause ] i'll tell you. can't take them nowhere, right? nowhere. my son took classes at bethune cookman university. before he began his career at morehouse college. my daughter attended hampton before she transferred to virginia state university where she is now. so hbcus are important. and that's one-and-a-half generations. and i'm talking about the impact it has on an entire family, on an entire community. and so when we look to continue to have the conversation about improving educational equity, i

the best places are like: when tiyou have institutions in place or columbia where you have institutions that were weak but were there. the war situation is when you have a personality to radical leaders where everything had been at the service of that leader. that was saddam hussein. effectively there were no institutions to think of or we thought underneath him. so, the distance between people desires now that they have overthrown the dictator and the institutions there to channel all of those is a great distance and you don't have much time. i relate in the book that we made a lot of mistakes. we undervalued the potential for the sunni tried to play an important role and we did not understand the tribe and when we got back from the insurgents the tribes were a big part in the reason that we were able to defeat al qaeda in iraq. i don't think we fully understood the indications of the expanding of the army which wasn't supposed to take place, by the way and i describe that in the book and in the cause of wawar that happens. i would like people to understand about iraq is that we did no

institutions do you trust? they don't have to be government institutions.s it media, schools, business? gallup recently surveyed americans about all those topics. we have been going through it this morning. we want to hear from you. jim, indiana, i'm for ind ependents. caller: the only government agency that gets a 95% approval rating is the postal service. we never hear about it. thank you. host: why is there so much trust in the mailman? caller: you have to be honest to be a mailman. when i carried mail, every letter you delivered, you pretended you were delivering it to your mother. you did not make mistakes. you did not steal. that is the way it works in the post office. host: why haven't other institutions been able to carry those same themes, the same supposed to what they do? why is it unique to the postal service? caller: i don't have the answer for it. i really don't. i don't have answer. i answer. host: should we elect postal carriers to other positions in government? would you like to see that, former postal carriers as members of congress? calle

during the bush institute summit in new york city, former president george w. for called out russia advanced cyber attacks during the 2016 election. president bush spoke about freedom, security, race relations and leadership. he went on to denounce bullying and prejudice in politics.

[applause] ok, padilla gracias. so, i painted ramon. i wish you were still standing here. it's a face only a mother could love -- no, it's a fabulous face. [laughter] pres. bush: i love you, ramon. thank you very much for being here. and, grace jo, thank you for your testimony. and big tim. i got to know tim as a result of presidential leadership scholars at the bush center along with the clinton center and with help from 41 and lbj's libraries. i am thrilled that friends of ours from afghanistan, china, north korea, and venezuela are here as well. these are people who have experienced the absence of freedom and they know what it's like and they know there is a better alternative to tyranny. laura and i are thrilled that the bush cen

it's the biggest institution of the creation in this field. you can argue that it isn't as neat as it was before. but i see no cost and keeping it on. poor people around the world better off for the bank and in particular are poo our poor peoe better off because the things jim wolfensohn did at the bank or not. it's about defending the skeptical taxpayers because the truth about the development is it is a partnership between the external actors, but owners of the world bank and the domestic politicians. they see the country like ugan uganda. it is clearly done by the policymakers and a great character in this chapter called emmanuelle who had been a larger than life brilliant technocrats but ran the financing period and he drove the progress and most of the credit. what happened to the local schools and the central government budget seems to be transferring money to the local schools where did the money go. they looked at the central government books to figure out how much they are going to each school and think about in the survey 0% had got

states realized they had to protect their own institution. so in february 1821, henry clay offers another compromise. this time missouri would agree to enter in equal terms with the original state. condition that the prohibition against free blacks in this constitution shall never be construed to authorize the passage of any law by which any citizen of the states of the union shall be excluded from enjoyment of any immunities to which such citizens are entitled under the constitution of the united states. terms, missouri had to admit or even declare, without amending or even , thatng its constitution the exclusion of free blacks meant not what it clearly said. so they said one thing and meant something else. louisiana andr misery entering the union is really about political power over slavery. the louisiana it's about future of the west and the declining implement of the -- of new england and the atlantic. for missouri it's about slavery and the increasing political influence of the 3/5 compromise. politicians chose political expediency. ease

financial institutions don't like that. we're going to allow them to force you to court. it took away consumers rights to go to court and get relief. this is what he said. the data shows that when consumers turn to arbitration, there are forced to rely on class-action lawyers to fight their case. they generated big headlines, people making millions. it really is laughable, these objections. every bank lobby in washington said arbitration is great for consumers. it's quick, cheap, easy, and you get a lot of money. why do you have force consumers and to arbitration. so great and so easy. if any of that was true, consumers would love arbitration. they would be forced to arbitration because those claims are simply not true. and this is one of the problems because, what sealed saying? old saying? very few people, consumers who won and arbitration, they want more money. almost nobody wins. when $1000. 10,000 people go to class actions at 5000 people when $100, who is better off? this is the key. $100,0,000 people lose which is wh

it's again a story of institutions. it is essentially a single party system under the african national congress. somehow mandela was great authority was never transferred into institutions which could then survive him. they've had considerable trouble sense, but the institutions are still there. just that it's been hard to really deliver to the. the first presidents better. the united states of merrick waa pretty lucky george washington actually didn't want to be king. i don't how many of you that's seen hamilton. it is really a great show. but it becomes very clear that we got lucky with the particular combination of founding fathers that we have. many places have been a fortune. >> you write about latin america and talked about columbia, how democracy has made progress. generally the 60s and 70s military are gone but what happened to venezuela? >> hugo shop as happened to venezuela. you can get a really bad leader who doesn't get checked vitalsec ran up -- hugo chavez -- with considerable more wealth. the oil curse is

that's the question i posed to scholars at the bush institute. that is what pete wehner and tom melia, who are with us today, have answered with "the spirit of liberty: at home, in the world," a call to action paper. the recommendations come in broad categories. here they are -- first, america must harden its own defenses. our country must show resolve and resilience in the face of external attacks on our democracy. and that begins with confronting a new era of cyber threats. america is experiencing the sustained attempt by a hostile power to feed and exploit our country's divisions. according to our intelligence services, the russian government has made a project of turning americans against each other. this effort is broad, systematic, and stealthy. it's conducted across a range of social media platforms. ultimately, this assault won't succeed. but foreign aggressions -- including cyber-attacks, disinformation and financial influence -- should not be downplayed or tolerated. this is a clear case where the strength of our democracy begins at hom

two institutions, one constitution.re on the constitutional court, you helped write the constitution. who is right? it is not for me to answer. the very issue now is being debated in the constitutional court, and on one hand, the constitution says the power to create commissions of enquiry belongs to the president. 0n the other hand, the recommendations of the public protector can be put into force, and she says, in this particular case, you would appoint the commission of enquiry. we are not going to say that, but you wouldn't choose the judge to have that. the chiefjustice will choose. and then you will have two. it is the kind of question you put to final year law students for them to grapple with. and it will be making law. so it is not for me to pronounce on it. and you would argue there is no right answer on that, but between them, the institutions have to resolve this? i wouldn't say there is no right answer. i think there is a correct answer. i won't say what i think it is. my colleagues, or those who would be m

are catalan and european institutions, spanish institutions. while they have indicated that if this process goes on, they are totally open to relocate their headquarters to other places in spain -- this is likely an indication about, you know, how insane is the regional government of catalonia. you know, the independence of catalonia could take catalonia outside the union, outside the eurozone. current affect the flows, the quality of the savings of the cattle on people -- the catalan people. we are determined to defend the integrity and the unity of spain. francinet was part of 's exclusive interview with the spanish finance minister. let's get more on the events with spain, a stalled independence push for catalonia, spain's highest court suspending a key parliamentary session. let's bring in maria. are we approaching the end game here? two key developments over the past hour. one is the plenary session due monday has now been suspended by the constitutional court. the pro-independence majority -- they have a majority in the catalan parliament

but it's not just large banks and financial institutions. it's community banks, because we're talking about contractual arbitration provisions which allow the consumers to benefit from a means to resolve disputes with their local community bank. and they don't often involve huge amounts of money. and so lawyers aren't typically not going to be interested in claims that don't involve much money which is why most often when they do get litigated it's in the context of class actions, where they aggregate all of these claims for thousands of people. and then as we know, typically they enter some sort of settlement where the consumers get a coupon, frequently no money but a coupon, and the class lawyers reap millions of dollars. so when our colleagues across the aisle want to act like, act like they have the better part of this argument when actually they're arguing on behalf of one of the narrowest, wealthiest special interests today, and that's the trial lawyers, and they want to act like they are a friend to the consumer when they're actually

where people are being told not to trust institutions. not because there's and they were with the as situations but because those institutions are a barrier to me for my progress. and you hear it from conservatives and liberals. you and i used to record a place where a member of congress doing something wrong with their spending accounts would be a big deal. but it no longer is because people dismiss that as fake news. no hazard is that there is place to go for information that you trust. and therefore you fall for anything. basically, all information is equal and it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. host: we are with paul singer of usa today and darlene superville from the associated press. joining us after 8:30, if you want to join in, as a republican, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. host: before we get back to the calls, i want to get back to congresswoman wilson put the fallen soldier, the controversy that came up from that. how much are we expecting to hear from the administration with an administration on why they

whether those institutions are hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges, predominantly black institutions or historically black colleges and universities or hbcus of which virginia state university is a member. i am a product of hbcus, but more importantly, it's the family business. my mother and my aunt went to howard university. all right. i went to howard university. just checking. me and my brother and law went to howard university. my wife went to tuskegee university. my sister went to fisk, my other as i say to dillard. my three sister in-laws went to florida university.

he still hopes he can change the institutions. rather than have the institutions change him. >> we have been processing the flurry of news over the last eight months. i can think of nothing else but going into a twitter opening, did you just see what donald trump just said? because you are paid to imagine the unimaginable, what has gone as expected about these first months, what is different? >> getting neil gorsuch into the supreme court was expected. he was going to pick a conservative and that will have a lasting impact. thus far, i see it as his biggest success in 2017. i thought the twitter use would get toned down. i had a fantasy that his daughter would be the twitter zar. she would have to read it first. she would let 90% of them go out, but once in a while, not that one, not that one. that has not happened. the determination to keep inflaming and dividing the country, all presidents try to unite. ohn f. kennedy's first 100 days, ostensibly, was a failure. bay of pigs, cosmonauts going into space with russia. but kennedy w

now while ministry is something that is under the government institution or as the other the management of the government this is something that they took on to of years past when there was no oil ministry when we came in we only asked to take as a government these responsibilities they cannot put to the policies of libya towards the oil companies and how to deal with it but they don't trust you as a government they don't regard you as a legitimate government is the guardian of the most important resources that libya has yes but the us and they're saying they're waiting already well think of the surgery to mcgovern i don't yet have all the wealth of the oil is coming through there are the government and we are distributing it in the country if that was true we wouldn't have been able to do that international community in june he wrote this and you know that's not the way he said it that's not the context that's the quote i'm taking the quote and if that was the case how come then all the revenue is coming through there g.n.a.t. sure through our government how come that we're able to sel

andriy was eventually rescued from the institution.er family. but adoption is still a possibility. the neglect many experience in care was highlighted in a report by disability rights international. institutions for the disabled child can stunt not only their physical growth, but also their psychological growth. sometimes, it's as a prison, or even worse than a prison. huge reforms to close all institutions across ukraine are under way, but the government admits it needs help. we need support. i am talking with international organisations and with different governments, of different countries, about support for ukraine. because no one country — poland, bulgaria, romania, any other countries — didn't do this themselves. progress is already under way. a new law means that all schools in ukraine must now teach disabled children, like artem. he can now make friends and learn, and hope for a betterfuture. but there's still an acceptance here that if you have a child with a disability, they will go into an institution. ukraine is changing, b

go but maybe there's a new institutions.wiki pedia is putting ever more multimedia content on the web music images and maps for example well things that piques uses curiosity which in turn leads them to buy books to learn more. about it i don't think that will he pedia replaces books textbooks or in-depth things it's a supplement to it and it's a supplement in the same way that i wouldn't think that. britannica brockhouse could replace. shakespeare it's one thing to go and read about shakespeare and understand sort of a broad background information and so forth but you really need to grapple with the text according to wales books and wiki pedia pursue the same goal to enlighten and inform. what you think would be a life time or can be or could be a lifetime achievement i mean for me it's really this is my life's work and i have a goal for wiki pedia to see you have at least one hundred thousand in trees in every language that has at least one million speakers this is like three hundred forty something languages were in about

institutions, but some of which typically take advantage of the average person. they do it in a whole variety of ways. we saw with equifax, the idea that they didn't have to protect people's information and were almost nonchalant about it. we su it with wells fargo -- we saw it with wells fargo where people came up with a scheme. but we see it all the time and the average consumer doesn't have the lawyers and the time and the ability to study what's happening. they don't understand the long contracts where they sign away their rights to go to court. they need a bank account, need a car loan, they need something, and, yes, their only resource in this case may be a class action suit, particularly if it's $20 or $30. you're not going to go to court individually, but if it's thousands of people, a trial lawyer will make some money, yes, to protect those people. how horrible -- how horrible that people might have the ability to come together and hire a lawyer. what's happening in the last nine months -- we have a lot of people who are disaffected. many of the campaign

following the law is that the only institutions in this country that can determine whether it was free and fair were the supreme court and i beseech and since the supreme court decided in given order that it was not free and fair you need to be repeated we did to that as you believe and we said ok we're going to go back and we still insist that the only people who can determine whether an election is free or fair is a b.c. or the supreme court and agnes let me ask you this and you all reference the court decision to say that there needed to be a second election but if something went wrong with the first election and then there's a determination to have a second second election can you actually fix what was wrong with the first election in such a short period of time. i think it was it was almost impossible within the time given by this print code of sixty days was almost impossible to to make to ensure that you know all the systems were in place to run a fair and credible election and that was you know that every kenyan felt that it was representative of their wishes so somebody the ti

for these reasons we urge all committee members to oppose this on institutional grounds and i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the chair recognizes the gentleman from michigan. mr. conyers: mr. chairman, i am pleased now to yield the balance of my time to the distinguished member from michigan, mr. kildee. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. kildee: thank you. i appreciate the gentleman yielding and particularly for this thoughtful amendment. i'm from flint. born and raised in flint. i represent flint. and i was here on the floor and i was the one pushing for the legislation that the gentleman on the other side mentioned that provided $120 million to help offset the costs of this terrible tragedy. but when i introduced the first legislation, we calculated what the direct direct and indirect cost was $1.5 billion -- what the total direct and indirect cost was, $1.5 billion. we ought not put a community like flint in the position of having to depend on this congress to fully fund the total cost of that recovery or another community that might be

i think he hopes he can change the institutions rather than at the institutions change him. >> we've all been processing a flurry of news over the first eight months of this administration. i can think of nothing else than going in with the twitter open and tell my wife did you just see what dollar copter said? since you guys are paid to imagine the unimaginable, what has gone as you expected about these first eight months and what is different? >> getting neil gorsuch into the supreme court is as expected. he was going to pick a conservative and that's going to have a lasting impact. thus far i see it as his biggest success in 2017. i thought that the twitter use might get toned down. i had a fantasy that i woke up would be like the twitter czar and anytime is about to push send he would make a deal with her that she would have to read it first -- ivanka. she let 90% 90% of them go outr 95% once in a while would say not that one, not that one. that hasn't happened. the determination to keep inflaming and dividing the country, all presidents come in and try to unite. john f. kennedy'
