levin. mr. levin: let's look at the facts. only those who won't look don't see them. 1.9 million americans, long-term employed, have lost their unemployment insurance since december 28. another 72,000 every week. unemployment insurance lifted 2 1/2 million from poverty in 2012, and now hundreds of thousands are sinking into poverty because this institution and the house majority do not act. the long-term unemployment rate in this country, 36% of jobless workers over six months. the lowest percentage of jobless receiving unemployment insurance in over 50 years. it's mindless not to act in terms of the national economy. it's heartless not to act in terms of the individual lives of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of americans and their families. vote, vote for this motion to recommit. don't see how mib can go home -- anyone can go home and vote no. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland. mr. van hollen: i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempor

senator levin rightly pointed out if the swiss bank doesn't want toer can't comply with u.s. law, maybe it shouldn't do business in the u.s. this case has reminders or echos of the hsbc case we saw just a year ago, flagrant vial lagszs through transactions carefully structured to keep u.s. officials out of the loop and once discovered unwillingness by the bank regulators to use their authorities to hold anyone accountable. as senators levin and mccain asked the ceo to admit yesterday and he did admit to not one person was fired for flagrant willful violations of u.s. law from the ceo on down. it's the same story for hsbc and for any number of other banks involved in predatory transactions that hurt american citizens. so i guess my question is this. we have a situation where the government refused -- and this is the government of switzerland -- refused and blocked the identification of the folks who were stashing their money in switzerland. we're talking about 22,000 u.s. customers with swiss accounts of which less or about 1% the names were shared with the u.s. if they're not

not really a threat to the power base of this government at least what we're seeing yet. >> rachel levinhank you very much. now, venezuela's planning on rallies tomorrow. john terret is here to tell what this fueling the issue. >> seeking policing reforms, end to severe shortage of goods. venezuela imports nearly all its goods and guaranteed freedom of speech. venezuela has the largest oil reserve in the country. even bigger than saudi arabia if you believe that but it has an aging infrastructure. it also sells domestically as rock bottom prices and the country's debts to china means its opportunity to make money off this valuable natural resource is actually quite limited. now the face of the demonstrators has been this man, called le leopoldo lopez. the protests are the largest that the president nicholas maduro has faced in his 11 months in office. former bus driver is a protege of this man, hugo chavez. maduro calls the opposition far is and like an infection that needs to be cured and he points the finger at us in the united states. he accuses washington, d.c. of plotting to destabi

are concern why an oil-rich country has record prices, scarcity of services, we are joined by rachl levin, from caracas. i know you are at the center of the protests, what is going on in the streets? >> today there was a group of people marching to the ministry of communications. they complained that the government was sensoring them. most of the media is controlled by the government. they feel misrepresented. the government has accused these student demonstrators of being people trying to overthrow the government. the protest today, a lot of people will come out denying the change, denouncing the government saying it is continuing to sensor them. >> twitter said they had been censored, twitter had been blocked. the government has control of all the tv stations and much of the media, as you said. they have accused the united states of being involved in all of this, and ordered the diplomats. >> that's correct. on sunday president nicolas maduro took to the airwaves and said he was going to expel three diplomats, he accused them of meeting with student organizers and providing them with vi

that was quite enough for senator carl levin.listen to what he had to say. >> for me, the bottom line is that your bank is a bank that really wants to be seen as a reformed bank. in your opening statement you laid out the reforms you had made. so, that is something that is important to you. thedo not want to be in dirty business any longer of helping u.s. clients cheat on their taxes. you ares important, if going to really be a reformed bank, you have got to acknowledge what is clear in our report, that the wrongdoing went beyond a small group of local bankers. >> that was the one major split throughout the hearing. senator carl levin said that as many as 1800 employees knew about this. dugan never swayed from where he was, saying it was a small number of people and no executives ever knew about it. >> the hearing is not over. the committee is hearing from top officials right now. do we have any idea where the justice department's investigation really stands? >> that is the interesting point right now, trish. there is an ongoing

and the department of justice should be pursuing that and i think that the behavior that senator levin uncovered with respect to this institution is both illegal and highly unacceptable and it should be pursued. >> so certainly a criminal action being referred to the department of justice is appropriate. but you also have powers. you have powers for how banks operate in the u.s. that are separate and independent of the department of justice. should the federal reserve being used -- these powers in reaction to this type of criminal behavior? >> well our obligation has to do with safety and soundness, and to the extent that these practices are illegal and we have an institution that is discovered not to be complying with the law, we have -- we have an obligation to act to make sure that it comes into compliance. and if we dedekt behavior -- detect behavior that is criminal it is our obligation to refer that to the justice department for prosecution. >> so one of the powers you have directly is to remove executive of banks when they misbehave and is it your intention to pursue this situat

i want to let -- recognize senator levin. >> thank you, mr. chairman. just to reiterate the point you made it the end of your statement that we have every incentive to work with the prc and the industry because if we didn't we would have to be a cpi so the incentives in the amendment really force us to work very closely with the prc, which we would do to try to complete an agreement as to an acceptable rate structure. >> thank you. >> gentlemen, first of want to thank senator baldwin. i happen to think this is the fair approach and involves the prc in a significant way because the power to say no is the power to shape. it is also the power, as far as i'm concerned, you are not precluded from having any pre implementation review. does not say you may not permitted to simply says that there will. if you want to listen to stakeholders or have any other input, you are not precluded, but you have the final right to say no to a proposal. that would not be there but for senator baldwin. so i'm not going to vote for permanent. i do want to say that we are at a

square this evening, chanting in support and against venezuela's president nicholas maduro, rachel 1 levinhas more from venezuela's venezs capitol. >> time is up for most of these venezuelans. refusing to back down they say they will continue defying a government there unauthorized protests. >> translator: we are tired of crime censorship and peel getting killed every -- and people getting killed every day. >> even though they stand together, some questions have united who they are. >> we have to be strong, we don't need to stop into the boxing ring and fight against each other. >> challenge to the government and policy they are also a challenge for the opposition movement and they could determine who may lead it. the widespread antigovernment protests this week thrusted leopoldo lopez into the spotlight. the former mayor helped organize the student protests on wednesday which turned deadly. hours after police raided his home on sunday looking to arrest him he sent out a video to his supporters telling them to keep up the fight. >> we are on the right side of history. justice and truth. st

law professor david levine said anyone can call police to report a problem. what's to stop someone to enact a vendetta. >> if you did this with a fixed number it would put too much power in the hands of someone who wanted to take advantage. she's not a legal expert but she and many people moved by the story think something needs to be down to strengthen the law. >> these children need a voice and they don't have one. child welfare service can only remove a child from a home if they have evidence of abuse no matter how many times police have been called to the home. >>> a san francisco church is celebrating a return of a piece of the history. someone stole the stain class mindo -- window on monday. this afternoon police returned the window to the tenderloin neighborhood church in perfect condition after getting a tip. the church is looking into how the better protect the works of art. >>> police in mantica said a 13- year-old boy 911 call helped them catch a trio of polars -- burglars. someone began banging on the door. he grabbed the phone and called police.

. >> 18th -- levin reports. as you can see right here they have had lighting fires are trying to barricade themselves. then we see that there aren't as many people here that have been in previous nights and there isn't the heavy security presence that we've also been seeing. now earlier today they learned that their leader, the opposition leader leopoldo lopez, will be charged with arson and also to try to insight violence. he is to be held at a military prison for the next 45 days until his case will go to trial. later on a few hours later, the other opposition leader enrique capriles, demanded that the lopez actually show proof that this is happening. >> the government are says it is a coup. if there is a coup in the making you mr. nicholas maduro have to provide proof of that to the country. >> reporter: he's calling for a nationwide march, if he can continue this momentum, that leopoldo lopez began when the protests happened. a town that's about two hours outside of caracas. the woman was shot in the head wh
