updegrove, just tell me first of all what is it that this movie gets wrong in your eyes? >> well, letfirst start by saying that i commend the policeman makers for taking on this subject which is so worthy. for the most part they do it quite responsibly. i hope it serves as a catalyst for others to learn more about the civil rights movement, which i believe to be the most consequential domestic movement of the 20th century. i think as they do they will learn about the very productive harmonious and ultimately very consequential partnership between dr. martin luther king and president lyndon baines johns son. you don't see how productive that was and came to bear on our getting voting rights in this country. >> schieffer: beyond saying it doesn't quite come across the film suggests that johnson was trying to slow down this whole thing that he was one of the impediments that martin luther king junior had to move aside. i have listened to the tapes of that era. i know some of the what johnson said to king and what sing said back to him. tell us a little bit about what your research shows?

let me first say today is day honor officer l irku and his family and men and women of the police department. liu signifies the greatness of new york. poor immigrant, came from china worked really hard, very difficult job, volunteered -- he was volunteer police officer for three years before he became a police officer. and he like the other police officers, do the great job making new york the safest city of large cities in the country. now, as for the divide i think new yorkers agree, we need a very strong police department that continues to keep crime down and we need good community police relations. they started to talk to one another, both sides, that is going to continue. i don't think it's unreefable. if they continue talking i think we can solve this problem. >> schieffer: well, former mayor guiliani said on this broadcast last week that all this -- best step to resolve this would be first thing to mayor de blasio should apologize to the police. do you believe that's the way to do it? >> look, we're a few hours from officer liu's funeral i'm not going to get in to anything to take awa

. >> thank you, president fewer so let me first first and foremost. >> i believe she gave a curriculum report at the last meeting so commissioner maufas please continue. >> we sent it forward with a positive recommendation from the curriculum committee so first and foremost again let me acknowledge all of you in the room excuse me. all of you in the room this is your meeting i'm grateful to see you here and supporting the stuff we believe in this is how we make that shift towards our culture and this us how you move a bureaucracy that has been set in pits way of insdring by showing up and speaking our own truth and it's indelible and when you here it, the people in power has to take action and fortunately the people are reflective of what with you look like which i'm vertebrae grateful to be part ever that and my last meeting is so fitting this is envied last meeting i get to say that as well so for timing and life circumstances that is a beautiful moment for me, i want to acknowledge you out in the room and the lobby thank you for your patience and desire to get here and support those

it's never that simple, however, so let me first show you where the space is located, if you are familiar with where the paramount is, third and mission area, we're on the third and fourth floors. this is not your typical space. i want to make that clear. this is a very rough space. i wouldn't even call it cold shell, it is simply concrete and studs. move that up so you can get a sense of the other portion of the space. however, it is potentially great space in that it's 4,000 square feet, it's in a terrific location so we certainly like the opportunities the space presents but i want to be realistic with you that significant capital will be required before someone could take the space. with that in mind, we have structured this agreement so that there is no fiscal obligation of the city until a sub-tenant is found that can pay the nominal carrying costs of the space and collaboratively with nonprofit organization we find a way to secure the capital. there are some grant sources that we're looking at, investigating with the mayor's office of housing community development and other departm

let me first ask you. 93% white. 76% male. coincidence or causal? they gave the best picture to "12 years a slave." it's not that they're incapable of recognizing a movie with a black cast and black screen writers. i think it's partly internal politics and stuff i don't know about. and partly that yes, they're very narrow view of the world. narrow view of true hollywood. >> i also wonder if you're relying on the oscars to be an accurate barometer of progress you better be ready for disappointment in life. >> you can't nominate -- that's true of the movie industry too. you can't nominate what hasn't been made. they feature the kind of color and all of that you're seeing in the nominees. almost all the best picture nominees are stories of great men or nominated by male actors. you can't nominate what hasn't gotten made. >> it's amazing to me. like bridesmaid was a revelation. oh, women like funny movies. but it took one movie to show hollywood the the most obvious thing in the entire world. >> hollywood seems to have a hard time going to new markets.

professor, let me first start with you. when did you first start handing in other people's work as your own, and what was the reason why? >> the first of my three or four acts of plagiarism occurred when i was eight years old, and it happened because i found myself in a ridiculous situation during a teacher strike. parents had set up an ad hoc school in the neighborhood, and some guy who obviously didn't care about the classroom itself assigned an impossible he is e ssay. and just to get it done i transcribed an encyclopedia entry and he didn't read it and gave me an a. later when the stakes were much higher, and my motivation much more complicated, i did such a thing once or two more. i felt it need to publicly confess and put it all behind me. >> you went into the academic life it's an unusual choice after gaining entrance into the system as did you. >> that motivated me to publish a book on these transgressions that i and myriad of academics were guilty of. it wasn't that i felt i would get caught. i needed to clear my c

let me first start with you as we learn more about these suspects.f kouachi's biography is both totally hum drum in a way. he didn't really have -- he went from job to job, pizza delivery man, fitness instructor grew up in an orphanage and had parents who were from algeria and it is now totally extraordinary given the ghastly events in which he is implicated. i wonder when you sort of heard initially who he was and where he came from how much did that dovetail with the now what appears to be standard biography for radicalized islamic youth? >> it seems to be very much in the norm of at least some of the people that i've always kind of read about and the groups. he comes from a group and a background of people who i would say are in a category of high risk to carrying these kinds of attacks out because of so many of the issues that you were just talking about. more importantly, i think when you look at several issues and there aren't several issues that make a person prone to these types of attacks and perhaps the sense of confusion about identity and

. >> first of all, let me introduce myself to you. my name ed hawkins. am a teacher here for the last 12 years, trying to bring up what the idea of what the garment business was like here maybe, 100 years ago. i am surprised that the number of children that come here that to not know what the word garment means. first of all, we will try to get indoctrinated into that word. we first try to get them indoctrinated into that word. this was a garment company or clothing company typical of 1920. what we have here is a little unusual that you'd find in a regular clothing company because we have the sewing machine sewing machines and the cutting machines all on the same floor and that would not be inewing machines and the cutting machines all on the same floor and that would not be in a garment company. the sewing people would be upstairs, or downstairs and normally, the cutters and what have you would be on the top floors. we have here a sample of a cutting table in the real world, there would be about 90 feet long and will probably be about three of them to a

>> i do not think -- let me first say i am not an expert on northern pow camps. from what i have read, it does not seem to me that the northern camps are led by such creative and inventive people as henry wirz and people who seemed desirous of having the outcome. i do not blame all of the deaths at andersonville on henry wirz. in the best pow camps in the civil war -- if you look at the deaths of united states army soldiers who are in u.s. army camps, the death rate is very high. sanitation is lousy, disease is rampant, but there is a huge difference between what is going on in those camps, and what i think is going on in el mira and what is going on in andersonville. there are no confederate prisoner pictures i have ever seen that look like the people coming out of andersonville. they do not look like they are coming out of dock how -- dachau. >> paul, you are uncharacteristically shy at the end of your talk -- [laughter] you talked about the confederate commanders who deserved execution. you seemed to imply that robert e. lee would be culpable for the chasing of

let me first start off with our live stormwatch 7 doppler to show you what's going on in our immediate area at this moment. and right now, things are very quiet. in fact if you look outside, i was just looking outside the belfort furniture weather center, we have high, thin clouds. overall, it's dry. nothing happening over the next several hours. it's not going to be until about 6:00, 7:00, you may already be home from work by that time but, you know that's when we'll start to see the precipitation starting. temperatures right now are above freezing. we're at 41 degrees at reagan national. 37 in gaithersburg as well as manassas. 38 in martinsburg, west virginia so temperatures above freezing as the precipitation starts we might see those temperatures lower a bit. right now so just some of those high clouds and you'll notice off to the bottom left corner of your screen you can start to see a little bit of that moisture starting to work its way in and it's all part of this large weather complex that will be con shift to the east and really continue to get more organized off shore. so we'

but let me first of all explain to you some of the things that we did here. the guy who really made the best amount of money and since we don't really have a complete idea of the actual amount that he made, i don't quote too many facts and figures about their salary, but the man who designs the suit would get the best pay. he would probably design a suit for a size 38 man, and then we have to, everybody doesn't wear a size 38, so consequently we had to have a patternmaker, a man who cuts patterns, as we have sitting up there to the right, the cardboard patterns up on the hangers there, and he would graduate maybe by 1/8" for each size up and down and he would get the next amount of money, next pay. now, we do have an idea of what the cutters were making back in about the 1900's. a really, really good cutter could make between $600 and $800 a year. the ladies that were working in the sewing department, they were working by each piece. they got paid for, but they could make between $5 and $7 a week. now, in my job i was called a spreader. my job was to take the

this year question my >> let me first admit i instill a season and behind --this year? me first admit i am still a season and a half behind. >> there have only been two seasons. >> peter cook is all about "orange is the new black," "breaking bad," and he is tangled up in "girls." >> when it comes to washington, i know you are impatient, and the process boards you to tears. it is all about gridlock. however, there is something going on today that peter has been paying attention to and that is the confirmation hearing for the next attorney general of the net states. financial crime, national security, everything. i was expecting she would get hit pretty hard by republicans, but peter, you are saying that is not necessarily the case right now. >> i am not saying that necessarily. she will be hit hard. loretta lynch, and by the way she is a fellow new yorker, so you should have more interest in what is happening to her she finished her opening statement. she will be hit hard by republicans -- ted cruz, mike lee, jeff sessions, on a range of issues -- but you can tell she has

let me begin by first thinking the member and the family committee for sponsoring this event. let me also recognize our new speaker elect, daniel hester and his wife, jean. danny, we are all starting a new congress. some like yourself are starting this congress in a new role. some of us are continuing in old rules. all of us are concerned. can we do it right? can we get the job right? or, for some of us, can we do better? >> all right. >> one of the things we need to do is get to work. >>how do you do that with the impeachment hanging out there? [indiscernible] >> the sellers agree in their tallies that the total numbers for both task is 427. of which, daniel hastert has received 220. therefore, the honorable hastert is duly elected the speaker of the house of representatives for the 106th congress for receiving the majority of the vote passed.

[applause] first, i want to say to the new speaker that i would like to invite him and hi

>> let me first say that i agree with the president and i also agree with the chairman that we need anternet. how we go about achieving that is something the fcc is looking at very closely right now and we will be hearing things. we do have an exception when it comes to our jurisdiction, we do not have authority over common carriers. in things that affect our jurisdiction, i think will be up to look at those things. >> can you bring cases against at&t for throttling if internet access providers are reclassified as a common carrier? >> it will affect our jurisdiction, but at the end of the day the issue of an open internet is really complicated. it deals with economic technical, legal kinds of questions. i'm looking forward to seeing how the fcc does that. >> let me just press, so his title problematic because it limits the fcc's authority? >> i would like to see the common carrier exception eliminated. i think it is an outdated exception. we would like to see that happen and perhaps the congress will pay attention to that an address it. >> chairwoman, thank you very much. >> thank you.

. >> i am concerned -- well, let me first. let me stipulate. you're not eric holder, are you? i'm not sir. >> so no one is suggesting that you are. but, of course, attorney general holder's record is heavy on our minds now. lou: heavy, as it should be on all our minds. nor do i believe that loretta lynch deserves a vote of confirmation simply because she is not eric holder. too many senators, republicans as well as democrat in my view seem to dismiss holder's deplorable run as attorney general. the fast and furious operation. spying on our reporters. trying terror suspects in federal court. ignoring clear conflict of interest issues. and the irs targeting conservative groups. an aggressive investigation by the attorney general himself in the michael brown shooting case. the ongoing refusal to enforce immigration laws. and the administrate's use of the pretext of justice department investigations in order to stonewall congress on benghazi fast and furious, the list goes on and on -- has gone on for years now. and it is a valid question whether lynch deserves confirmation at all

let me first get the mood of the white house. to those of us on the outside, it seems very emboldened. >> you can say it is a holiday around here. it is state of the union eve. there is a lot of work and activity here at the white house in what is otherwise a federal holiday. there's a lot of excitement. there's bounce in the step of people who are working on a day they would otherwise have off because there are ideas in this speech. there's a palpable sense of momentum because our economy has demonstrated tremendous strength and resilience which we feel good about. there are polls, particularly the latest one -- the president's approval rating is up nine points over a month ago. and we also feel a sense of moe momentum about the kinds of policy proposals we have talked about over the last few months everything from making climate change progress in china and trying to bring a solution to our broken immigration system and saving new home buyers money on their mortgage. the president is speaking before the country, the congress, b

>> let me first point out that the man has been able to form all of this mischief because some of the effects that allowed this man to stay in the country. i remember when before the presidential elections when he was in the united states, he wanted to come back to yemen and he was not allowed and they allowed him to come, and said at that time with many of the american friends and perhaps al jazeera and bbc and everywhere, they said if this man is allowed to come back, they'll create a lot of troubles. the fact--the whole idea of trains to transfer power while you still lead the this was already a mixture of explosion. and the present president hadi has been quite weak because of the restructuring of the armed forces and the sector reform, which was intended to protect in the first six months never took place. so the president became weak, and these people continue to take up the political process in the country. >> given now that the houthies clearly have taken a huge amount of power militarily and politically within the capitol could, if ali abdullah saleh is with the houthies, cou

let me first play for all of you guys i had his platoon members on this show. let's listen to them.this is what they said. >> the army needs to do what's right here and abide by the army values. and he needs to face consequences for his actions. not only is it a slap in the face to all the men and women who have served honorably, who upheld their oath, and it's also a bad precedence to set toward future service members. >> to say that bo is honorable, it's a spit in everybody's faces. it is frustrating. >> he needs to go through all the proper channels that any deserter goes through. if it's court-martial, yes. he is a deserter and he needs to be held 100% accountable for his actions. >> robert, we're told the money may have exchanged hands as well. you've got all of these guys that with him said he deserted. as many as six people died looking for him. many others injured. what should be the right thing to happen here? >> well, it's hard for us to say looking at it from the outside. with all the information that's come out, there are a lot of details that we're not privy to. but yea

let me just say -- >> dennis? go ahead >> yes. firstwas the highest year on record. >> it's not true. >> ten warmest years have been since 97. third, heavy storms increased by 70% in six years. it's national climate assessment. here is a map. >> that is false. >> throughout the century, 31% increase in the northwest. >> you might be a great weatherman but not a climate scientist i >> i use climb tolling as a foundation for weather. you come from ohio . what happened january 26, 1978 in your state? >> like i remember because i was mayor? >> okay. you were mayor. right? >> i remember well. >> do you know how that storm right there -- >> look. there is a lake-effect. and the lake-effect >> look. that is -- that is not the -- >> that is not the -- >> we're going to have to leave it there. >> that is nonsense the storm came out of the gulf of mexico. >> you don't know what you're talking about. >> lake-effect snow. >> yeah. you asked dick goddard about that storm. that is the most-absurd thing i've ever heard. >> coming up good news and toni

let me first ask you practically speaking -- we're hearing news of all these terror raids, the breaknd monitoring of terror cells across europe. to what degree was this happening when we weren't paying attention to what was going on in europe? >> i think we have been paying attention for a long time at least people involved in the counterterrorism business have been looking at europe for a long time. it was even reported today that the u.s. had information about the belgium plot for weeks or months months. while it has been under the radar in the news it's not surprising that this information is coming out now. i'm certainly not surprised to see the action taken by the bell belgians yesterday. obviously, when you break up these cells, you try to keep it under the radar, if you want to protect an ongoing investigation for intelligence purposes. in this situation, i think the belgians wanted to send a clear message to not only their citizens but the isis supporters. we're on to you. we're going to take action when we deem it necessary. the citizens will be protected at all costs. this

chad let me first go to cnn's miguel marquez because he's doing the lord's work in portland maine. how bad is it there? >> reporter: well it's not terrible at the moment. the snow has stopped for a little while but they're expecting to get about ten inches in some parts of maine here. the problem as you mentioned is they have had storm after storm. i will test the television news gods by walking down this eight foot pile of snow two feet they got. they have been piling the snow all over town in these giant piles. this is part of the problem, that they keep having these storms after storms after storms and it's hard to keep these streets clear. they are doing a very good job of it so far, just slush on the streets right now. they've had to push the snow off to the side. they have stopped cars from parking on the roads at night so that they can plow the streets here. the big problem here is not just ten inches of snow. for maine this time of year that's pretty much a dusting. but farther north in maine they will have very high winds and bitterly cold temperatures down into the single

let me first recall and remember and thank and pay tribute to iraqi soldiers who pay ultimate sacrificesrious day of the iraqi army's accomplishment. i think to answer this question it's -- it's very important to know that iraqi army 2011, when americans troops left iraq has been not ready, incapable to assume the responsibility all over iraq. with the grows challenges of the insurgency in different areas of iraq, that put iraqi army in the position that had to fight in different areas and lose a lots of capabilities -- >> but, sir can i just jump in here quickly. other than fighting in many areas, they were not capable of fighting the isil in particular -- i mean many army recruits ran away. why was the army not prepared considering the u.s. spent so much time and money trying to build the army up? >> you know, it's building the capabilities of any armed forces in the world, needs effort time, and resources. it's not a matter of putting money here and there. it's -- it's armed forces to be ready has to be capable, has to be -- have air force, navy army logistic support, intelligence, an

. >> let me first of all, congratulate the greek government. i'm looking forward to working with them. i think our joint issue, our joint goal is to strengthen the greek economy within the euro zone and that is also an ambition they have. working with the euro zone means they'll comply with all the agreements we have in the euro zone and on that basis, we will support them where we can. we'll open the talks with them as soon as they are up and running. we shall wait for them. but we are very ready to work with them and to talk on the future of their program. we have already done a lot to take off the debt pressure the debt burden by reducing interest rates allowing longer periods for them to repay loans. so there doesn't seem to be great urgency there. writing off debt in nominal value, i don't think there's a lot of support for that in the euro zone. >> so a very clear message, i think, coming from here. the countries here saying they want to work with greece they want to be flexible but the basic rules stand. if greece wants more money from t

let's get right to the floor show, traders at the new york stock exchange, cme group and the nymex. also joining me, ubs' global currency managing director. let me firsttart with teddy weisberg. we know some of the names that are saying we're not going to do as well as we thought in 2015 because of a strong dollar. what is the chatter on the floor of who's next, teddy? >> well, i don't think it matters, liz -- liz: well, it does, teddy, because people have investments in a lot of names. >> well, i understand that, but we had this conversation six months ago, and it's all about the strong dollar. you know, these companies have had the wind at their back for 15, 20 years, and now, of course, the dollar's reversed, and what we're doing is we're seeing the end result of the strong dollar vis-a-vis their offshore sale ises. you know, it depends on which company it is, but most of the big u.s. multi-nationals -- and that's a lot of companies -- liz: yes. >> -- have some exposure, some more than others, to offshore markets. so none of this should come as a big surprise because this is a direct by-product of a complete switch in the dollar from being weak for

>> reporter: let me first give you the detail.first heard that one american was injured and another -- details -- the shooting took place at a gas station, the main highway that runs east from the capital of riyadh towards sort of the east of the country that police gave chase on the attack as it exchanged gunfire with them and he is now in custody, according to the police. the one thing that we have so far from the saudi press agency is quoting a police spokesman saying that one american dead and the other injured. at this time. other sources telling us that the person who's been injured in stable condition at the moment carol. >> so is there an indication that the americans were targeted because they were american? >> reporter: it's not clear. at this time. and the details, i think, they're probably going to going to be hard to get at. physically hard to get clear details inside of arabia. we should learn more the contacts in the past few months there has been attacks on westerners in here. in november in riyadh the capital, a d

speaker, let me first of a psoas muscle for the marks of the honorable gentleman and the prime minister. yesterday was an incredibly moving and emotional day for anyone who took part in the commemoration. i think the prime minister for the work that has been done on part of the holocaust commission and i can actually confirm that we have taken forward on a cross party basis so we do indeed keep the memory alive. >> here, here. >> before the last election for prime minister said he was going to have a bare knuckle fight to save 29 a&e and maternity units in the published the list. can you assure the house in line with his promised all the services have been protected? >> well, i'm very glad the honorable gentleman has mentioned the nhs because i think before we go any further he needs to clear something up. he has now been asked nine times whether he made the disgraceful remarks about weaponizing the nhs. [shouting] now, i think everyone in this house, and i suspect everyone in this country, knows he made those remarks so we should get up at the dispatch box he should apologize to this a

let me first is you, have you spoken with tim cook recently? to go into -- my discussions with tim, look, we think very highly of tim. i was one of his early supporters when there was criticism of him a year and a half ago or whenever. i think he's done a magnificent job and we certain ly -- the ony criticism we have if you call it that is the fact that they don't do a bigger buyback and the critics of the buyback to me, you know, it's like sometimes the myopic views of the medieval courts or something where they come in and say they need the money to invest in research and development, this company invests more in research and development in world history and still has $178 billion. the issue, you know, that i think is overlooked completely is that this company and brett alluded to it, going at nine times earnings. you look -- so it's almost laughable. you know, you look at companies out there, the s&p, the s&p multiple looking at 2015 we just see there's going to be little growth according to the analyst, they really study that more than i do

my question is for prime minister narendra modi but let me first congratulate both of you for taking the relationship forward more specifically on nuclear deal -- [ speaking foreign language ] [ speaking foreign language ] thank you. [ speaking foreign language ] [ speaking foreign language ] >>> indian prime minister modi there speaking, no translator there. but earlier said that he is excited with the confidence in the new relationship with the united states with the centerpiece being this deal struck with civil nuclear trade there. and essentially that meaning that this agreement on relaxing requirements on the liability of supplies to india in the event of a nuclear accident and also the u.s. agreement in that in that deal and its demand in able to try whereabouts of nuclear material and in india but again this much of culminating the day historic day of what they are saying has been shift in relationship between india and the united states and have to remember also it is far from warm as the relations were just a year ago the prime minister was not welcome in the united states,

. >> let me first start off with whether or not the fire chief got permission to publish this book.that that's a key point for you and the city council. >> he absolutely did not. i'm the chief executive officer of the city of atlanta and it's undisputed he never discussed this book prior to publish it for did he get my permission didn't get permission from the ethics officer or ethics board so this is a situation that was so serious that he picked up the phone, had multiple conversations with the ethics officer, but he's a member of my cabinet and senior team and never discussed with it me and that's one of the primary reasons that i made the decision to separate him from the city of atlanta. >> are know obviously from his supporters and you were there as they wanted to confront you about this. they see this as an issue of freedom of religion despite what many would see as offensive words. he says this is his belief as a christian, and this is essential essentially him being punished for that. >> yeah, tamron, you have beliefs but if you were to write a book that you knew would be c

[applause] >> let me say, first of all __ i'm very deeply grateful to my good friend. i cannot help __ my side maybe overreacted to your statement __ ending 40 years of democratic rule. i cannot help but look over to bob michael, who has often been up here, and knows that everything dick said is true. this is difficult and painful to lose. on my side of the aisle, we have been on the losing side of the aisle for 20 years. yet, there's something so wonderful that by a process of the free people this is decided. in my own case, i've lost two elections. i almost lost to others. i can tell you, every time the polls close, i felt good. win or lose, we have been a part of this process. in a little while, i want to ask the dean of the house to swear me in. to insist in the bipartisan nature in which we, together, work in this house. john's father was one of the great stalwarts of the new deal. i think that john and his father represent a tradition that we all have to recognize and respect. recognize that the america that we have to now lead grew from that tradition. i also wa

let me talk very briefly about both. first on the balanced budget. i think we can get it done. i think the baby boomers are now old enough that we can have an honest dialogue about priorities, about resources, about what works about what , doesn't. let me say i've already told vice president gore we are going to invite him. we're going to invite him to address the republican conference. i believe there are grounds for us to talk together and work together to have hearings together to have task forces together. i think if we set priorities, if we apply the principles of those, if we build on the vice president's reinventing government effort, if we focus on transforming not just cutting not just do you want more or , less but are there ways to do it better? can we learn from the private sector? can we learn from ford, ibm, and microsoft? i think on a bipartisan basis we owe it to our children and grandchildren to get this government in order hand to be able to actually pay our way. i think 2002 is a reasonable time frame and i would hope that together we can open a dialogue with

let me say a few brief words. in terms of the lithuanian colleagues, first of all, on lng exports, let me repeat where we are.o date, every application that has been prepared for a public determination, meaning it has completed a environmental impact statement, to date, every one has been improved -- approved. we have approved by .7 billion cubic feet per day. roughly 60% of the export today. that is not a small amount. there are going to be more. if you look at the economists' predictions, prior to recent events, generally speaking, i would say from the low side of five to the high side of the team -- 15 is the kind of range the economists think the market will support. the market getting lng to lithuania or anywhere else is building facilities. the first facility is due to come out at the end of this year or early 2016. two others have put spades in the ground. but it will be years on till a substantial infrastructure is ready to do that. on nuclear energy, i think you are referring to the reactor as an example of back to the future possibility. there is no question that there are a number of innovative app

speaker, let me start by saying first of all on the iraq inquiry from a party with the sixers ago and i agree with the prime minister, it should be published as soon as possible. now on the economy as the election approaches can the prime minister confirm that we now know this will be the first government since the 1920s to leave office with living standards lower at the end of the parliament than they were at the beginning? >> first of all let me agree with the leader of the opposition that we want to see this published probably. if everyone in this house, including members opposite had voted to set up the iraq inquiry when we proposed, it would have been published years ago. perhaps he could start by recognizing his own regret that voting against the establishment of the inquiry. >> mr. speaker, the inquiry was established six years ago after our combat operations had ended. and, frankly my views on the iraq war are well known at i want the inquiry published. i noticed he didn't answer on the economy. he didn't answer on the economy. and liz are 1600 pounds a year worse off. he said
