in the liaison committee last december, i warned her about ultimatums from the eu and again, in my uqe very robust when discussing these matters in the brexit committee, as i am sure she will be, in order to ensure that we repudiate any of these eu threats. as i've said right from the very beginning, we will hear noises off, we will hear all sorts of things being said about positions that are being taken. what matters is the positions that we take in the negotiations as we sit down and negotiate the best deal. we have shown we can do that. we did it in december. and we're going to do it again. jeremy corbyn‘s battleground of choice for this week's prime minister's questions was crime figures. last month, the office for national statistics said the number of violent crimes and sexual offences recorded by police in england and wales has risen sharply over the past year. but a separate crime survey, based on people's experiences, suggested crime was continuing to fall. and with that in mind, battle commenced with a particularly pithy question. with crime rising, does the prime minister r

the next day it was the turn of the government, the liaison committee which is made up of the chairs s are some of the cabinet office minister, but he was being very cautious in his a nswe i’s. was being very cautious in his answers. this exchange was typical. one of the lessons from the gfc was to have tougher rules about being able to claw back bonuses when things go wrong, do you think we need to look again at the clawback arrangements for bonuses so that we can get some of that money back? again, sitting here today, i can get some of that money back? again, sitting here today, lam open—minded on that. but there have been serious allegations of misconduct by the board and former board members of carillion. those are being independently investigated by the official receiver and it would be wrong for us to make any comment that could be prejudicial on the official receiver 's findings on that. i know this isn't the first timei that. i know this isn't the first time i have said this and it will not be the last ditch has been a big week brexit. theresa may cheque to meetings with senio

the liaison committee which is made up of the chairs of all the other committees summoned the cabinetnister. but he was being very cautious in his answers. this exchange was typical. one of the lessons from the financial crisis, was to have more tougher rules about being able to pull back bonuses, and when things go wrong at a business, do you think we should look again at the claw—back arrangements for bonuses so that we can get some of that money back? again, sitting here today, i am open—minded on that, but there have been serious allegations of misconduct by the board and former board members of them. those are being independently investigated by the receiver and it would be wrong for a minister to make any comment that could be prejudicial of the findings on that. i know this isn't the first time i've said this and it won't be the last, but it's been a big week for brexit. theresa may chaired two key meetings with senior ministers. the brexit cabinet committee sketched out what the future relationship between the uk and eu might look like. what conclusion they came to, they haven

the liaison committee, which is made up of the chairs of all the other committees, had summoned the cabinetas being very cautious in his answers. this exchange was typical. when we had the directors of carillion, past and almost present, in front of our select committees yesterday, one of the things we questioned them about was the changes in the rules about the claw—back of bonuses. many of the people we had in front of us yesterday had a big bonuses in the period leading up to the collapse of the business, the company changed its own rules, which make it harder to claw back those bonuses. one of the lessons from the global financial crisis was to have tougher rules about being able to claw—back bonuses go wrong at business. do you think we need to look again at the claw—back arrangements for bonuses so that we can get some of that money back? again, sitting here today, i am open—minded on not but there have been serious allegations of misconduct by the board and former board members of carillion. those are being independently investigated by the official receiver, and it would be wrong fo

priorities to advance the goal of peace at the extraordinary ministerial meeting of the ad hoc liaison committee at the meeting i was encouraged by widespread unequivocal messages reaffirming support for the two state solution in line with the relevant un resolutions and the need to resume meaningful negotiations over all final status issues including the status of jerusalem but disciplines also made a critical commitment to undertake efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in gaza including support for projects focused on water electricity and economic recovery. my message to all was clear first we must clearly reaffirm the sustainable peace requires a two state solution one that can only be achieved through a negotiated process israelis and palestinians have defined the final status issues and only they together can determine their resolutions second efforts must continue to seek implementation of concrete and transformative steps on the ground including and ending israeli settlement expansion and advancing policy shifts particularly in areas c. of the west bank consistent with the transiti

may i also mention the fact that in the liaison committee last december, i warned her about ultimatums, i suspect that at the time that the legislation was going through in this house, there were not many who would have thought that my honourable friend would be standing up recognising the signing of the anniversary of the maastricht treaty. i suspect he only feels able to do so because we are coming out of the european union and i can assure you we will be robust in our arguments. as i have said right from the very beginning, we will hear noises find all sorts of things being said about positions being taken. what being said about positions being ta ken. what matters being said about positions being taken. what matters is the positions we ta ke taken. what matters is the positions we take in the negotiations, as we sit down and negotiate the best deal. we have shown we can do that. we did it in december and we are going to do it again. thank you, mr speaker. kirklees council, who serve my constituency, have already had their budget cut by nearly £200 million, with a possible £45 milli

the positive measures suggested to the liaison committee in brussels can lead to a significant improvement of the commissions. this includes expansion of possibilities for training and support for essential services like water and energy . therefore, we call upon all parties involved to deliver on their commitments made. we call on the palestinian authority to proceed on the path of reconciliation. we support the efforts to restore unity between the wreck in gaza and reunification of the authorities as a single legitimate governing authority. the incidents over the weekend showed again the need for a political solution. in conclusion mister president, there was little cause for optimism. however, in the middle east, there is not so much a choice as it is a necessity. this conflict can be solved. this conflict must be solved. we should offer diligently and in concert with the two state solution the parties themselves, the region and the international community at large. >> very much mister president i think the representative of the netherlands and now give the floor to the representative.

committees and bodies? >> i think it works relatively well. i'm an ncaa liaison to the united states olympic committee. i visit in colorado springs and watch how they organize themselves. and they give enough freedom to the individual sports, like figure skating or skiing, for example, to allow them to pursue their own mission while creating an infrastructure of high-performance excellence, in terms of having a high-performance center in colorado springs, providing sponsorships and overall guidance. i think -- look, it's a business, right? if you win 121 medals in rio, your business is doing pretty well. so i think that not only do we have the best athletes in the world, i think we have the best organization in the world. typically in sports, the team that's most organized will win. so i feel that this has done well. and mind you, we've got some interesting u.s. athletes coming up. shaun white in the halfpipe. lindsey vonn, who i think the premier event will be the figure skating and the downhill runs. for the united states to see lindsey vonn come back from injury, the most successful skier on this pl

even after paul manafort left in 2016, he remains as a liaison between campaign and the committee. he stayed traveling with them until the election day. he was there during significant policy decisions. he was there during the outreach on social media. he likely knows a lot about the fundamentals of the trump campaign so that's what you have to keep in mind. we don't know everything bob mueller knows. >> keep in mind paul manafort was present in that meeting in trump tower with the russian lawyer who had been sold to the trump campaign and donald trump jr. as having damaging information hillary clinton. >> he was at that meeting. if you look at the charging document, the conspiracy to pleading guilty continued throughout all the time that he was working on the trump campaign. it is not a conspiracy to collude, to work with the russians, directly related to the campaign. but here you have a senior official admitting he was involved in a criminal conspiracy. that's potential lay very serious and, his agreement to cooperate means he has to tell absolutely everything he knows. both the

olympic committee, talk about how -- have there been controversies within these bodies? guest: i think it works fairly well. i'm a liaison the olympic committee. i visit in colorado springs and watch how they organize themselves. they have given up freedom to the individual sports like figure skating or skiing to allow them to pursue their own admission while creating an infrastructure of high performance excellence in terms of having a high-performance center in colorado springs, providing sponsorships, and overall guidance. it is a business. 120 one medals in rio, your business is doing good . not only do i think we have the best athlete in the world, we have the best organization in the world. the team that is the most organized wins. i feel like this is done well. white -- shawn white, you have lindsay von. i think the premier events will be figure skating and downhill skiing. america is captured in one person. she is a woman and comes down a mountain at a high speed. it will be electric. those two minutes of her coming down. can she do it? that will be electric. i think it will put everything into the background abo

election day and he stayed on during the transition period, serving as a liaison between the transition and republican national committee. there's a lot he could tell mueller both about manafort's activities and the campaign. >> let read a little bit from manafort's statement. i continue to maintain my innocence. i hoped and expected my business colleague would have had the strength to continue the battle to prove our innocence. for reasons yet to surface, he chose to do otherwise. this does not alter my commitment to defend myself against the untrue, piled-up charges contained in the indictments against me. adam schiff, ranking member on the house intelligence committee, talked about that statement, in part, on the "rachel maddow show." >> the manafort issued today was quite telling, like so many officials in the campaign facing liability or even the administration, they have an audience of one in their message. and the audience of one for that manafort statement today was the president of the united states. it was basically a love letter saying please give me a pardon. i'm not going to do what rick gates did. i'm stan

liaison to the rnc. he also worked on the campaign committee. and this has been a strategy we've seen in the past where they try to diminish the role of the people who are linked to russian investigation have played. and i also would say that rick gates may not be an essential figure in proving collusion between russia and trump campaign managers and the trump campaign, but what mueller is trying to do here is put pressure on manafort and maybe get manafort to put pressure on other people to get to that critical question, which is yes we know that russia tried to sew discord in the elections, but was anyone in the trump campaign orbit helping russia do that and helping russia to help trump get elected? >> jack, few seconds left. who or what would you have us looking for next here? >> well, i would look at the amount of time, if it can be discerned, that they spend with mr. gates and if there's any indication there are discussions with other lawyers, if deadlines get pushed off, that sort of thing that allows the government to try to come to some

liaison and student advisers. parent support and participation services, facilitate advisory committees, trainings for leadership development and parental support in academic life of their children. i'dsation and recruitment, identification of mep students through school and community based outreach, enrollment in appropriate academic and social services. here in this picture we have teacher carolina giving services to students as well as giving services at home. [speaking spanish] >> through the interpreter: here in this picture, you can see the older students that participate in trips or field trips that are not only to go outside but to learn and to learn things that that benefit them. [speaking spanish] >> through the interpreter: so now my colleague is going to be speaking in english only. >> i'm randy. i go to mission high school. i'm in the twelfth grade. today i'll be talking about the great success about migrant education program. so to start out, we have expanded funding for positions that will allow for continued support for students and families who no longer meet eligibility requirements, expansion of home base

- as a member of the armed services, i have staff on the armed services committee and i used to have a military legislative liaison who had to go through it. and it took a while. it took about four to six months for one of my mias to get clearance, so i understand that. but it's been over a year for a lot of these people, and i think at some point it does become trouble. >> now let's talk about the memo of memos. the president has now blocked the rebuttal memo by the gop that talked about surveillance. if the democrats were serious about getting the memo out, they would be serious about redacting information and, in his words, getting it over to the white house. we don't know if what he says is is true, that democrats are not working on redacting, et cetera, so will the dems' memo, in your view, ever get released? >> i don't know, but the important thing is the memo released in the first place is frankly the most shocking act a member of congress has taken since i've been here. he put that memo out to try to intentionally mislead people what was going on in the investigation, in an effort to protect president trum

liaisons on kind of a scope and suggested projects. and that would open it up for a fuller conversation here, does it feel right to the rest of the committee, what would other alternatives look like. >> i think we tried to do that and didn't get there. >> correct. >> that's why i wanted to remind everyone -- the spirit of this was let's see what the voters think about what -- either how we're doing or the bond programs are doing. i don't know larry if you remember the conversation, it had to be six months ago. >> i do. >> the more we talked about them when we got together, i kept wondering to what end. what are we going to do with the information. i think it's important to make sure when you do the work, it's actionable at the very end and it does seem -- i think this does dove tail with the benchmarking report and web site design. >> one thing that occurs to me, a benefit from it, the course of implementing a bond various adjustments are made and as those adjustments are made, did that divert from what people expected was going to happen. so you end up saying well, you guys made a bunch of changes and suddenly we're in this park over here

committee members need to leave we can accommodate that. >> get out of here. >> so we'll keep working on this and produce another draft and share it back with liaisons. and have it on -- the same item on the next calendar. by that time we can get to a good scope of work i think. the project choice, we will -- if i'm correct that the universe of possible projects to choose is completed bond projects, then, you know, we'll try to get a comprehensive list of that so you feel you have the whole universe to think about and share that list. >> just fellow members, when we started talking about this at last meeting, i believe kristin and i were kind of volunteered to kind of lead this survey -- >> you're doing a great job. >> i would like to invite to open it up to other members who have a specific interest. you could join us or you could also e-mail kristin and myself some specific ideas of follow-up ideas based on our discussion, either the type of project -- everyone seems to have their own idea what is the perfect program to test to survey. so i encourage you to do that and i think that will kind of speed up a little bit of this process so by our next m

liaisons on kind of a scope and suggested projects. and that would open it up for a fuller conversation here, does it feel right to the rest of the committee, what would other alternatives look like. >> i think we tried to do that and didn't get there. >> correct. >> that's why i wanted to remind everyone -- the spirit of this was let's see what the voters think about what -- either how we're doing or the bond programs are doing. i don't know larry if you remember the conversation, it had to be six months ago. >> i do. >> the more we talked about them when we got together, i kept wondering to what end. what are we going to do with the information. i think it's important to make sure when you do the work, it's actionable at thve

liaison with me and the run yashs even though that's exactly who obviously he was. >> it's unconscionable. chris, you've been around washington long enough. >> look at this. just watch, judge for yourself. >> there's some committeesship to a certain extent you leave it at the door. the ethics committee and intelligence committee. >> that's the man they're basing everything on in the future of the republican party. >> nice hat though. >> take the hat. not what's in it. >> what's the real danger is that you will are undermining institutions and organizations that are important for democracy. look, you know, don't take it from me. leon panetta was on talking about how this endangers us with our allies, people and sources we have to work with on the frontlines of terrorism. this is not only -- this is a dangerous to our democracy, undermines our safety. govern kasich was right. speaker ryan should tell nunes to cut it out because he's undermining one of the few committees once upon a time you left partisanship at the door. >> i've got to bring this up. the guy they've been killing is this guy named peter strzok, some sort of romance with somebody else. fair enough. he shouldn't have been. the e-mail stuff just blows
