for emergency care and planned of cardiosurgical interventions, the doctors of the amosov institutere currently providing medical assistance to vinnytsia uzhhorod, and therefore what work is currently being done. we will find out what is the mode of admission of patients at the amosov institute and contact us, cardiologist, chief physician of the amosov national institute of cardiovascular surgery, candidate of medical sciences, serhiy syromakha, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, please tell me. so, what has changed in the work of the institute, if we let's talk from the first days of the war, from the first days the level of our stay at the institute changed, that is, the entire administration, all the services of our institute, colleagues who were necessary during such tumultuous days, especially the struggle for kyiv and so on , everyone was here around the clock. that is, we spent the night, we worked each at our post, each at every moment . during the whole day, and of course, we became accustomed to receiving multidisciplinary patients, no longer as a narrow

the institute the institution is going to be the institution. there's a sort of perpetual a perpetuity too and institution. there's a momentum that it is developed over over a stretch of time. i think about auburn university that on the same day that bo jackson won. the heisman is the best, you know college football player in the country. a federal judge said that that was the most segregated institution in the state of alabama literally on the same day by 2002 auburn university enrolled about 5% black students and today they enroll fewer black students than they did in 2002 and so you think about that sort of trajectory and that that momentum that institutions have that is a very daunting thing, but i i do think when i was you know, i was at texas tech briefly and when i was there people wanted to start a moving for africana studies, you know, they wanted to be an r1 institution and they didn't have an african artist program didn't make sense, but they also only had like 4% black students on campus. and so, you know, i think that there is a the

i am adam hassan, the institutes president. and it is my privilege today to host wiley adeyemo, the deputy deputy secretary of treasury of the united states. the honorable mr. adeyemo as a notable public servant who we are delighted to welcome back if only virtually. he will be given an update today heading into the upcoming g7 g20, imf world bank spring meetings on the situation. this -- invasion in the ukraine where he, and the u.s. treasury playing a pivotal role as well as placing it into the broader multilateral context in which of course the u.s. government operates in the economic sphere. just a word of we insufficient biography. wally has been deputy secretary of the u.s. secretary since march of last year. he has been the first president of the obama foundation. from 2015 to 2017 we adeyemo served in the obama white house deputy national security adviser for i cannot mix and deputy director for the national economic council. he also served as the presidents representing the g7 in g20, also known as the sherpa, and help

from all perspectives are happening at these institutions. ultimately the truth is that the , countries who make up these institutions -- it is important to remember that when the imf started it had fewer than 30 , countries. over time more than 190 , countries have joined the imf because of the proposition that the imf was built around helping , a sense of shared prosperity. in order for the imf and other institutions to remain notable, we have to make sure we are addressing the crises that we face from covid-19 to climate change and doing it in a way that is equitable. where we are helping those people who need help the most. that is a big focus of president biden's agenda. the leaders of the international financial institutions support. to your the goal for us is that point, the international financial architecture needs to adapt and change as the world changes. >> thank you. going back to something you said a moment ago which i know is consistent in your departments work about trying to design sanctions that are targeted and minimizing un

we get our people into the institutions, we change those institutions from within. we violate democratic norms and go on an antidemocratic process simply by dominating the bureaucracies. they believe they can do the same thing with the courts that they have done with other prestigious institutions. and to a certain extent, it's working. that is why they have to adapt. they have to come up with new strategies and tactics to start pushing back on the left institutional dominance before they are really taking this democratic show and putting whatever they want inside. >> it has become their pattern. and it's by any means necessary. whatever they have to do, whether it is ripping down a statue or is machine -- or blowing up sex education in school and turning into something different, they do it and they will say oh, you are an outlier for complaining about it. that is what is happening tonight with this leak in the court. the 2019 "new york times" piece reminded everybody that back in the 80s, it was senator joe biden who supposedly was a devout catholic and voted to l

and they invited students from all institutes, but my wife studied at the vitebsk institute.nsk institute of the future for one acted and entered different entered the therapeutic faculty. i am purely dental. but he was only in the city of minsk for dentistry. that's why we transferred. already together, we got married in the same institute in the second year, and already studied together, and taking into account the fact that in gomel did not have a dental faculty, so i entered the medical business. that's the end of the healing process. mm. i wanted to be a urologist very much. i even practiced and worked part-time in the urological department in the summer. well, why didn't it work out? maybe it would have happened at that time, but already in the fifth after, probably in the fifth year. hmm, again , when there was a conversation about the future profession already specific. yes, i wanted to return to the city. uh, zhlobin is his hometown to work in the hospital, and when he came to practice for the summer there, he worked part-time back in including in the ambulance there

of the social research brought up in frankford university institute. a group of marxist got together to debate private working in 12 revolution of the inevitable consequences of the capitalist system didn't actually happen in most places. a hungarian was one of the key figures trying to understand why the authoritarian did not rise up everywhere. the main conclusion it was not all about economics that argued, they were held back by three other forces that destroyed the consciousness. family, faith and culture. in their view the building blocks of boardwalk society used by the elite to keep the masses oppressed, a new theory which explains how to dismantle the building blocks, was called critical theory. eventually the frankfurt school philosophers made their way across new york and took up residence at columbia university, and the sociology department. leading figure became this man a huge influential in american academia from the 1960s onward instead of studying the world the university should aim to change it. the entire purpose of higher education w

institute on drug abuse. i also want to note and i think i've said this before, we were able to get once before, i do intend to invite an additional panel of institute and center directors to testify before this committee later this year. we have not been able to hold a second panel in the past two years that i value the research of every institute, every center, and want to make sure the subcommittee has thesu opportunity to hear from others directly. i'm also going too be reviewing the funding across all the institutes and centers for looking for a pattern over time, and to hear more about how the institute and the centers set priorities. and i just say this with all sincerity, i mean, i always think this is one of the most exciting and exhilarating and meaningful hearings that we have before the appropriations committee. the work thate. you do, all of e staff, the grantees that the nah supports g and what you're doneo continue prioritizing covid-19 research over the past two years, we would be nowhere clos

another fate in the institute. i remember when i first met you. knew that you were doing karate, then it was a very outlandish activity. and how long have you been practicing and why did this arise? desire to do karate, then there was a theatrical art institute. i go up the stairs. it's in the tanzal opposite the tanzal, i saw some guy doing karate. it was nikolai skvortsov, an artist. it turns out that he had been doing karate for a long time and began to study in the army. i say let me work with you. he says, what will you give me in return? what you can do? i say, well, i did yoga. he says, okay then. so you teach me yoga, and i teach you karate, then it was very popular. very so shall we say exotic. fashionably fashionable, yes, and students of the theater institute and from abroad began to flock to us, and i will say that at the theater institute at that time the sports hall was one of the best karate halls in minsk and many karate seminars of that time were held in hall. yes, that's right , theatrical institute, i have already, frankly, reac

all the institutions, allct the norms are being protected by joe biden and the left.what doat we see tonight with with this having happened? well, laura , i mean, there's so many thoughts going through my mind as a lawyer for the pro-life movement, as a constitutional lawyer and also somebody involved in politics.ve involved in politics this is a deeply political act ,laura , and i f think it was a aimed not only at legislation like you mentioned at undermining potentially the court's legitimacy and court packing, but also ital affecting the midterm elections. you know, the this issoid goingo be a talking point and advertisements that are being drafted as you and i arebe speaking tonight aboutut how it is important to vote for democrats to save women from back alley abortions, fill in the blank, et cetera, butan all of that is a lie. laura , i mean, this is i an insurrection level that if you talk about really insurrection against the court, but when you look at what this this opinion, if it turns out to be correct and i agree with professor turley that in honor and d

many eyes are now on you and your institution. what should the world bank do to protect this and build the world -- and build the long-term result? >> thank you, secretary ellen. it is good to be here with you. russia's invasion of ukraine has triggered major threats to global food and security. there has been a pronounced spike in the food staples that include wheat and wheat substitutes. in the future harvests may be reduced due to higher energy and fertilizer prices. crop yields all over the world depend on fertilizer and the price of oil and natural gas. food and nutrition insecurity were already happening. they include -- they include growing demand, supply chain disruptions. climate change impacts. there is a rise in fragility and conflict. the deepening of the crisis in the last two months is directly related to the war in russia and ukraine and also the cost in terms of shipping. i have seen some data. we have a deepening of the crisis here. the world bank food crisis and dexter an all-time high. rising 11.5% in march. tha

and health care institutions are those institutions that must fulfill their function regardless of what am very grateful to all the doctors who continue to do their work despite to what is happening outside the window, they continue to save, and well, using the stocks of those drugs, which have a great collegiality and support for the exchange of drugs, which take place in health care institutions, which are in the territories where there is an attempt to establish an occupation regime and such we have 235 institutions, colleagues are exchanged whenever possible if we manage to put some drug in one institution, it is transferred to another institution through doctors, or patients reach 88 countries, the absolute majority supported the general meeting of the general assembly and this is also our victory, we need to press on all fronts so that the russian federation first of all gets out of the territory of our country, but we could also provide balanced access to medicines and medical services for all ukrainians, viktor, you just mentioned this, but we know that the russian occupiers are

institute, doctor douglas, director of the national cancer institute and the director of the institute on drug abuse. i also want to note and i think i have said this before we were able to do it once before i do intend to invite an additional panel of instituting center directors to testify before the committee later this year. we've not been able to hold a second panel in the past two years but i value the research of every institute into every centurion want to make sure the subcommittee has an opportunity to hear from others directly. i am also going to be reviewing some of the funding across the institute looking for a pattern over time and to hear more about how the institutes and centers that prioritize the staff supported and what you've done to continue prioritizing the research over the past two years we would be nowhere close to where we are through the research of the science everyone talks about how quickly but it didn't happen overnight through the research of the grand grant institutions in the private sector the knowledge has dramatically improved and the detection and

can be create risk to multiple financial institutions.e working carefully with a treasury that has oversight of the financial sector to quickly disseminate information of course in connection with russia and ukraine we are in heightened alert with respect to potential cybersecurity risks. this congressealm need to do anything to empower you to deal with this issue or do d you rates, coupled with an aging population are a threat to our economic prosperity. i want to state i disagree with your prior characterization. turning to my remarks, secretary yellen i believe the treasury has done a good job ratcheting up sanctions but i don't believe we are having fast enough. ukraine has proven they are capable of winning this war must do everything we can to ensure that not only win, but they win as soon as possible to stop the war crimes being committed by vladimir putin. our current sanctions regime is to a whole, and enforcement is severely lacking. today online commercial registry data allows sanctioned entities to be monitored in near real-ti

he was also very disciplined about respecting institutions in washington dc that were not institutions. for example he works well with congress even though was controlled by the democrats. he respected the house and had plans on both sides of the aisle but he did not blindside congress with challenges he had and invited them to be part of the solution. it didn't mean everything was easy. it wasn't. it was very hard. but the institution of being part of the solution current is meet their responsibility. on the domestic side probably the american disabilities act which was so dramatic, it motivated the world to have a greater conscience about people who are challenged and need a little bit of a leg up. they need some help so the american disability act, read john sununu's book about being chief of staff for what happened on the domestic side. this book is focused on what happened on the international side and efforts under usaid. very dramatic in spreading the compassion of america around the world. that comes out in these chapters. how did he staff his government and bring people in? wh

>> there is concerns in public trust that could be placed in these institutions. one of the things i did earlier this year because i've been concerned about this for a while as we identified hhs leadership and coordination as a high-risk area because we have concerns that we are not prepared to deal with public health emergencies in the future because there are unclear rules and responsibilities, problems with clear and consistent communications, data collection, deficiencies, transparency and accountability so i am concerned about this, a select group of high-risk areas we keep across the government. the lingering effects here, i am not sure as better prepared now as we were in the beginning. >> can you point one specific thing, to prevent this going forward. >> there needs to be a plan that gets developed and identifies a response to the deficiencies in this area. i recommended there be a national aviation security plan to deal with communicable diseases. that is still not developed and in place. i have a lot of open recommendations that i would be happy to shar

specifically the department of the interior and religious institutions. the consequences of federal indian boarding school policies, including the intergenerational trauma caused by family separation and cultural eradication which was inflicted by generations of children as -- afflicted on generations of children as young as four years old. they are heartbreaking and undeniable. when my maternal grandparents were eight years old they were stolen from their culture and community and forced to live in boarding schools until the age of 13. many children like them never made it back to their homes. each of those children is a missing family member, a person who was not able to live out their purpose on this earth because they lost their lives as a part of this terrible system. this is not new to us. it is not new to many of us, as indigenous people we live with -- lived with the intergenerational trauma of federal indian orders school policies for many years. but what is new is the determination in the biden harris administration to make a lasting difference

many eyes are now when you and your institution. watch for the world bank to to protect develop gains and build long term resilience? and what are some of the policy actions countries should be considering? president malpass? >> thank you very much, alexia and thank you secretary yellen, and gilbert. it's good to be good to be here with you, with kristalina and everyone here today. russia's invasion of ukraine has triggered major threats to global food and nutrition security. in the near term says been a spike in the price of food staples, that includes wheat and also we've substitutes. and second, the future harvests may be reduced due to higher energy and fertilizer prices. crop yachts all over the world depend on fertilizer and the price of oil and natural gas. global food and fertilizer prices were already on the rise prior to the war. food and nutrition insecurity were also rising -- gilbert just highlighted this. that the reasons are many. they include growing demand, supply chain disruptions, currency devaluations, climate ch

yellen: i definitely think that financial institutions, you are absolutely right. they make long-term loans, whether they are for mortgages or other kinds of loans. and they definitely need to be taking account of the risks emerging over a long time period. so i think that is important. i think we need private sector actors, including financial institutions, to be taking the long view. and we need to make sure that they have the information they need to evaluate their own risks . the supervisors and regulators need to be evaluating those risks as well, and that is an important part of the agenda of fsoc, to amass the information that will enable that evaluation of risks both by financial institutions and by regulators. the sec proposal on disclosure by firms, i think that is extremely important, because investors -- a huge investor community, asset managers want to be able to understand the risks they are undertaking when they invest in firms and without this kind of disclosure of climate-related risks we are not providing the investor community the information the

the whole idea to your point about institutions, i think we are in danger of destroying the institutions that are required for a free society. you cannot have a civil society, a free society, without a stable legal system. you cannot have one without stability in things like property, interpretation, and impartial due dictionary -- judiciary. the institution that i am a part of, if someone had said one line of any opinion would be leaked by anyone, you would say that is impossible. no one would do that. there is such a belief in the rule of law, the rule of court, the rule of what we believed we were doing. that was forbidden. it was beyond anyone's understanding, or imagination that someone would do that. look where we are. we are thrust to where that belief is gone forever. when you lose that trust, especially in the institution that i am in, it changes the institution fundamentally. it is like an infidelity, you can explain it but you cannot undo it. i think you are seeing it go through any number of art institutions -- of our ins -- our political institutions. when i was going to col

but to respect institutions? >> i think one of the reasons is that bush realized the tendency of american leaders to think that they can save the world. and orchestrate events in other countries. which has led us to a lot of problems. this is both parties that do this. because he had experience, he said there can be limits to american power. america can be very powerful in certain circumstances, in a hot war that's conventional we can destroy our adversaries. we can intervene. but to get into russian politics and try to orchestrate who is going to succeed, yeltsin or gorbachev, is delusional in my view. i think he did the right thing by being neutral, and it is because of his own sense of proportionality and balance and prudence. that's interesting, that there are populist conservatives, which in my view are not really conservatives in the historic sense of that world. they don't like george bush. but i have argued in the introduction that the founder of the modern conservative movement is a guy named edmund burk

>> one theme that is come out of this conference is important that the institution and the institutions are under attack these days. but we moan to comment on the leaks the protest of justices homes what we are seeing in the draft opinion. >> first of all this is a real honor to be here. it is hard to believe more than 40 years have passed the fairmont conference which is no more enthusiastic about that than i am about and i think it started off with i thought a very electric speech by glenn lowery and it has continued with the thoughtfulness that is really all we ever wanted. not to replace one with anothero we had enough of that but rather to assume people are able to think for themselves, have different ideas because they are unique. to exchange different perspectives and perhaps have others either agree with them or sharpen their disagreements. that was all that's why was called the alternatives it was an alternative the kind of alternatives you want what we thought in a civil society. certainly was not treated that way. we were treated very shabby after that. the whole idea the poi

another fate in the institute. i remember when i first met you. i already knew that you do karate, then it was a very strange thing. and how long did you practice and why did you have this desire to do karate, then there was a theatrical art institute. i climb the stairs, and so into the tanzal opposite there is a hall, i looked at some guy doing karate. it was nikolai skvortsov , an artist. it turns out that he had been doing karate for a long time and began to study in the army. i say let me work with you. he says, what will you give me in return? what can you do? i say, well, i did yoga. he says, okay then. so you teach me yoga, and i teach you karate, then it was very popular. let's just say it's very exotic. fashionably fashionable, yes, and all students of the theater institute and from abroad began to flock to us, and i will say that at the theater institute then the sports hall was one of the best karate halls in minsk. and many m-m karate seminars of that time were held in the hall. theatrical institute, i have already, to be honest, reac

i found the number of the director of the institute and wrote to him .at, that 's eh temporary full territory eh i want to come to you for treatment well, i don't know when i'll be able to get out, he answered me right away the garden to leave the occupation at 14 because of that, i gave birth there in every way, i saw every test, that is, at your own risk. and the risk here is the whole thing, or it turns out to be lost, and then we drove in the nuts, our guys already left for zaporizhzhia, god bless you , man и села поиск приехал сюда , it will heal only ot us with a sound, enough pathology there, a neoplasm, she underwent two simple operations, but now she is on the mend, we are preparing her for discharge, she has been working for 18 years, tatyana, one of his patients, is glad that she finally started eating and to smile magnificently simply or a collection for whether a course of treatment and reconstructive surgery is waiting, just such interventions are now extremely necessary for both military and civilian people who have been injured in the com

many were funded or sponsored by religious institutions. the court found evidence of unmarked burial sites at 53 of these institutions. this is about one hour. >> i can't help but think about the environmental tragedies that might have been avoided, like the dustbowl, extinction of the passenger pigeon and growth of extreme wildfires across the west if the federal government had consulted with and respected the practices of stewarding the earth that indigenous people developed over millennia. as the federal government moved the country west, they also moved to exterminate, eradicate and assimilate native americans, alaskan natives and native hawaiians. the languages when my maternal grandparents were only eight years old, they were stolen from their parents culture and communities and forced to live in boarding schools until the age of 13. many children like them never made it back to their homes. each of those children is a missing family member, a person who is not able to live out their purpose on this earth because they lost their lives

is it the european bank for reconstruction and development or any expert institution? the main thing we don’t know about forecasting is when exactly peace will come to ukraine, and we can talk about the state of the economy from the point of view of and the fall, why is it important to know, or immediately after the fall occurs, but after the peace comes immediately, the trajectory of the movement of the ukrainian economy begins to change, and the change begins quite sharply and begins quickly enough recovery and all the measures that are currently being taken and plans are being discussed regarding our post-war revival, they are precisely related to how it will happen, that is, to say that we fell, we fell in the first quarter by about 15% , in the second quarter the fall will be at least the same 15% , but it is also true that if this continues until the end of the second quarter, i mean the state of war in our country will continue and russia will continue its aggression against us, then we will have a decline, but again the question after six months, will we alread

that institution is in a safe art threat? that institution is in a safe part of — threat?is in a safe part of the country - threat? that institution is in a safe part of the country for i threat? that institution is in a i safe part of the country for now, they've not suffered the direct effect of the war yet, but who knows when that may change? so it is a safe place in essence, it's what needed to happen as a immediate response to what's happening and the threat these orphanages in children's home were under in the east. by then it becomes a matter of, how long will these children stay there? what does that mean for their development and future? disability rights international says the children want to live as long as they should, and if they are contained like that, they won't grow. those children are already underdeveloped for their age. you said in the report to be clear, these children are teenagers. gill these children are teenagers. all these children are teenagers. fill the ones in that footage are at least i3—iii, may be 15—17, get you would not put them at more t

the capacity of this institution to solve big problems is very closely tied to the ability of this institution to recruit, retain and have diverse staff and unfortunately over the years you've seen almost a lobotomy every few years because in the absence of those strategies for holding onto people they make more money and it looks like congress is outgunned. and that's a problem. it means it's harder for the institutions to take on big problems and it also i think gives lobbyists and outsiders role in the process which i don't think serves the institution well and third and finally we made a number of recommendations related to collaboration and stability and when we took up that topic i wasn't convinced we could make any recommendations in this space and when i mentioned to colleagues we were working on it most offer to pray for us but the reality is we put forward a whole bunch of recommendations in that arena that ended up themselves any one of them doesn't seem like a game changer but i think represents interventions to make just change up the incentives in this place. so that you're more

do financial institutions -- to carbon intensive sectors.the world's largest financial institution, madam secretary, pumps a 742 billion into the fossil fuel industry. secretary, we actually sought more fossil fuel financing last year than we did in 2015, the year of the paris agreement. we are going in the wrong direction. as the world's largest financial institutions continue to grow, there -- well this make our global transition from fossil feels to clean energy slower and more dangerous to our economy? >> i guess what i see is that the world's largest institutions recognize the importance of shifting their lending in ways that will help us, the globe, the u.s., and other countries achieve net zero by 2050. our voluntarily -- >> they are saying it, they are not doing it, secretary. >> i think it's important for groups to monitor those financial -- >> i think -- >> >> i really think we need. to fsoc reports on risk posed by climate change last, not the counter outline recommendations as first steps in addressing the climate crisis, includi

, beautiful institutions that were completely destroyed, and their material base was a prey, in parto more regions of ukraine, but i know that, for example, from mariupol, there is one beautiful the institution is moving to kyiv and will work on the basis of the kyiv kyiv university of architectural construction and there are many such examples, some in zakarpattia and so on, this does not equalize the fact that there is a problem, so with all the maximum flexibility, despite the fact that our people will go to meet always despite the fact that there is already certain experience, including technological experience. and as you said, during the pandemic, there will still be a lot of problems, and that is why i think that the most important thing for us is understanding what it will be like ukraine after the war. that is, it is not only physical reconstruction. we need to think about what higher education will be like. we need to return to the package of reforms, relatively speaking, which we had for education and for higher education, for secondary education, and we must understand wh

dodaro: first of all, if they follow our recommendations, they will have instituted institutional protectionso be able to respond thoroughly to any allegation that comes up because they should have a process of how it gets reported, screened, investigated, they respond in writing, and then discuss anything that is necessary that needs to be done. right now, you do not have a process. there is a lot of anecdotal information. there is not a sin somatic -- not a systematic evaluation. it should enhance public trust. rep. velazquez: will the recommendations made by the gao help protect against any future administrations attempts to discourage the sharing of information in an open and transparent manner? mr. dodaro: i don't think anything would necessarily be a panacea to ensure future administrations don't try things , but what it will ensure is that nothing that is alleged goes uninvestigated and dealt with properly. i think it could have a benefit by empowering the employees to feel more protected in raising this issue, thereby it may have a deterrent effect to help people and not move in this
