joe: china's annual legislative assembly coming to an end.d you say was accomplished this year? shery: they managed to set some expectations as they always do. mostly ceremonial thing. they have previously agreed to whatever comes out. but i have heard they have lowered their economic growth forecast statistics. we did see more detail on those tax cuts because now we know that policymakers in beijing want to boost demand. we sought to trillion yuan worth of tax cuts. that would be around $300 billion. the finance minister saying there could be more ahead so we got a sense of where policymakers are focused now. it would be less a monetary easing and trying to build on piles of debt. it will be more about stimulating the economy and helping demand through tax cuts. caroline: as you say, these things are pretty orchestrated and we tended know what happens before it comes out but we get a final hurrah. expecting anything from them tonight? shery: we are hoping to get clues about the timing and potentially an announcement when the new tax cuts wou

the need that was established in 1946, a fact- gathering agency that operates on an assembly line scale. the legislative reference service. with 150 full time employees to keep congress fully informed. here is a member of the house of representatives foreign affairs seeking information from china. the congressman wants more facts about a recent government report so he can draft a bill more intelligently and participate more effectively in the deliberations of the foreign affairs committee. this request for information is but one of,ands received each month. some of them can be answered with a word and some of them require weeks of research and book-length reports. regular or special congressional committees like the armed services committee start fireworks. the committee works over bills before they are debated or voted upon. it is another way in which congress seeks to get all of the facts before it acts on a bill. some committee hearings can be tense. sometimes they are used to air political views which are embarrassing to one of the parties in congress. they have the power under law to compet the att

so as an illinois legislator, the general assembly here in illinois gives a very robust tax credit tony production company that plans on filming tv shows or movies. and i feel, and i believe a lot of chicagoans feel, that someone like jussie smollett or someone else that would commit the same type of act should not benefit from this generous robust tax credit that is offered from the city of chicago residents and the taxpayers of the state of illinois. >> the confusion here, at least part of it around this decision, is that the court filed the case which is sealed, so we really don't know. they said it actually wasn't supposed to be sealed and it could be a clinical error. do you think she's telling the truth, and do you think she should resign over how she's handled this considering she was in touch with associates and family of smollett? >> well, i don't know if she should resign, but it is -- she is the state's attorney, and whoever she gave the case to after recusing herself, that's up to their office to do that. all i can tell you right now -- >> do you believe it was a clerical

assembly. the country is paralyzed as m.p.'s hinder legislative work and rejects supremes court rulings. responds with a football dribble. this. instead of waiting for the hand of god as his friend would advise changes field in the middle of the game. he holds a referendum on the formation of a constitutional assembly that would remove the powers of the national assembly controlled by his opponents. was it a constitutional move a procedure to remove chavez from office in two thousand and seven. in two thousand and sixteen. zero before the government. will give a crap. was the decision ethical. time may not be qualified to say. in my country as well as in italy the banker was appointed prime minister and a referendum was ignored. in europe we cancelled a total of five referendums because the citizens haven't voted as the e.u. wanted them to. it was those decisions constitutional maybe they were but also ethical and democratic. in venezuela after the two thousand and fifteen crisis the part of the right wing opposition started boycotting elections. they asked the un not to send experts who

upon receipt of the race data, the general is simply enacted -- a general assembly enacted legislationt restricted -- talk about inalienable rights -- that restricted voting and registration and five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected african-americans. they went on to say, this is the fourth circuit, i did not say ,his, the federal court said it said in response to claims that intentional discrimination animated is action, the state offered only meager justifications. although the new provisions target -- this is what the court said -- although the new provisions target african-americans with almost surgical precision, they constitute inept remedies for the problems, certainly for justifying them, and imposed cures for problems that did not even exist. the went on to say, thus, asserted justifications idd -- did not and do not conceal the state's true motivation, and of quote. the reason that meant so much to me is that one year ago today on bed, 92 yearsing on, former sharecropper, her last words were "do not let them take our votes away from us." had -- she had

there are only three options before the legislation expires next week. the first is an assembly change the political dynamics. the second is an alternative approach to decision—making in northern ireland such as a direct rule — something which i do not believe is in the interest of people of northern ireland and certainly, they tell me it is not what they want. and at the third option is to extend in the act. this gives the political parties more space to come back together in the best interest of the people of northern ireland. it also provides the northern ireland civil service with the certainty and clarity they need to continue to deliver public services in the absence of ministers. the secretary of state‘s decision not to hold the northern ireland assembly elections are understandable. however it leaves northern ireland in uncertainty. school boards are in crisis as we know willingness for operations grow, there is a need to target specific monies across all departments. particular to health and education, as they suggested. dozens of secretary of state feel that perhaps it

legislation for the province. northern ireland's executive and assembly have been suspended for two years, leaving westminster to passof spending decisions. at which point will the secretary of state accept that this is an entirely unsustainable decision, as outlined, there is no scrutiny in this process. i don't believe that anywhere in a democracy or the western democratic world, such a process would take place completely behind closed doors, in terms of what bids are being put forward and what bids are being accepted. she said the government should impose a direct rule, not because it was desirable, but because it was necessary. karen bradley said the bill needed to be fast tracked at westminster, so that civil servants in belfast could authorise spending. we are in a very unsatisfactory position, and i would rather we were not doing this this way. but in order to ensure that public service can continue to be delivered and in order to ensure that public servants, the civil servants of northern ireland do have the statutory underpinning they need for spending, that's why we are taking this budget bill, but i would
