that comes down from the state each year, we're funded through taxes that are collected at the local level, and we're independent constitutional offices but our local county commissions fund us. and so the state -- the secretary of state has gone to the legislator. he's gotten into the governor's budget and he said we need some resources specifically to provide to cybersecurity to the local election officials as well as to setup a cybersecurity operation more robust, if you will, at the state level. there is a lot going on even if you're maybe you're not hearing about it. because we're kind of keeping our heads down and moving forward. and i think you're going to see a lot more of that as we approach the 2018 elections. >> thank you, david. and you actually built into my first question. and actually i'll start with you, secretary. i know coming out of 2016 all of your were asking what steps can we be taking, what more needs to be done? what were the lessons learned and what are you doing to address the cyber posture of the state of right-of-way elections? >> what was interesting for us, fo

we are funded at the local level we are funded basically threw ad valorem taxes collected at the local level. our local boards of it-- excusing, our local county commissions fund as so the state has gone to the legislature and got in the governor's budget and said we need money to provide some resources specifically for this cyber security to the local election official as well as a portion of that to set up a cyber security operation, a more robust-- if you will. i guess the overall thing i want to say is there is a lot going on even if maybe you are not hearing about it because we are keeping our heads down and moving forward and i think you will see a lot more of that as we approach the 2018 elections see next thank you, david. you built into my first question i will start with you secretary gorbea. i know coming out of 2016 all of you asked what steps can we take and what more needs to be done. what was the lesson learned and what are you doing short-term and long-term in rhode island to address and improve the cyber posture with the state of elections? >> what's interesting for us

so they can support them having a functioning and law and order at the local level and i think then i think in the in the future if the southerners were still unsatisfied then they can have the right sort of random but from the region from a point a until that time we need a lot of work and we need a strong commitment and strong words even by the international community what seems to be happening right there and you can tell me having allergies to counting in the air you hire the people master listening and we'll take action on your advice many thanks to both of you for joining us today for a very interesting discussion indeed siobhan and now bill horry. thank you very much for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website is al jazeera dot com and of other discussion to go to all facebook page that's facebook dot com for slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter at a j inside story from me laura call and the whole team here at spy for that. the scene for us where on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is always p

a default proposition that most congress will be at the state and local level and they are invested in congress so it articulates those enumerated powers that are federal most are found in section one of the constitution and some are not reasonably linked to that accomplishment and by that i refer to the powers. it provides clearly for the congress to have the power to provide for the national defense. it doesn't specifically identify what we call the veterans affairs department but it complicates this because it is necessary and proper you can have pr and forces unless you know how to take care of your veterans. everything else that isn't allocated is supposed to be reserved to the states or the people. >> host: let's make it concrete for everyone. a lot of states right now are legalizing marijuana and is that something that founders would have said that is something that should be left to states and the people? >> guest: it would have been as a matter of principles deciding whether or not you are going to allow a particular treatment or pharmaceutical product for example produced and

various levels, maybe more on the federal levels, perhaps on the state, but i can tell you on the local level, it's very difficult to encourage women to enter the field of law enforcement. while those of us in the field encourage and try to mentor women, i wonder if there's anything on a national level or a federal level to encourage more women. >> we can probably all contribute to that one. but let me start out with that one, 20% of the united states air force today is women. 20%. 63,000 women serve in the united states air force. which 63,000 is more than the entire raf. and all careers are open to them. and i remember 27 years ago, for the first time, i graduated from the air force academy in 1982, served as an officer in europe during the cold war, for the first time in the first gull war, i remember our senior leaders, colin powell at the time and general schwarzkopf on national television, saying, talk about our men and women in harm's way, our men and women in uniform. i had never been included in that way before. it was always before that, our men in harm's way. and i remember just be

i think there is a responsibility at local level, there's a responsibility organisational level.should have recognised the failings at liverpool and dealt with them earlier. and yes, there were responsibilities for that at local level, and there are responsibilities through the organisation, and including at my level and i am not ducking that, i'm simply putting the context in place. one third of all the alcohol sold in england is consumed byjust 4% of the population. that figure emerged as ministers were urged to bring in a policy of minimum unit pricing in england in an effort to combat the effects of excessive drinking. from may this year, a minimum 50 pence—per—unit alcohol price is being introduced in scotland. the health committee heard calls for a similar scheme in england. my patients with alcohol—related cirrhosis, their average consumption is 120 litres, or units, a week. that is the median. the mean is higher — it's 150. so a typical drinker will be drinking 16 litres of that, and they'll be paying about £20 for it, and that would go up threefold. so that, instead of p

public opinion i would seek to have myself and all of my friends and my family of leaders at the local level of the national level be arrested by israel what you need to do is hold a mirror up to the israeli people and say this is what you're creating this is the reality on the ground we're not using violence we will not cooperate with the occupation anymore i plead with the public opinions we do in the nonviolent struggle because if you use violence you will never get the support of the israelis for the world. welcome back supporters of russian opposition figure alexina valmy have been gathering in a number of cities and a protest against the upcoming presidential election on tuesday goes down that has the date. around a thousand people have been gathering here in moscow calling for the boycott of the upcoming this march presidential election they're saying that the vote is illegitimate since their candidate alexei navalny has not been allowed to run this because he's still serving a five year long suspended criminal sentence after he had been found guilty of embezzlement and a person like

that's when we may even already start to see some signs of life at the local level. but it is really overnight thursday, and into the n isrity of friday that the going to work it way through. remember, this is just a model but i like the way this is timing out at least. so there will be rounds of heavier rain that comes through. it is warm, also have snow melt. i'm worried about some minor flashflooding as this all rolls through as a result. it will continue to see the rounds of rain come through, throughout the entire day. so it is sort of a prolonged system. note the cold air on the bang side of this, as this decides it will nudge little further southeast depending on the speed of the storm, invasion of the cold that comes in its wake, you might end this storm in the north and western counties, with some icing or some snow. that will also be something that we need to watch into early saturday morning. you got big playoff game though coming up saturday, and i do think that's all out of here in time for kick off.me oft have some spring fever given the forecast, dayli

so at the local level it's strong. but to get a community group to come into a discussion with law enforcement now on any of these issues, whether it's cve or relations with law enforcement and the policies, nobody wants to come out and talk about it. they're too afraid and they do not trust this government, and by extension, there's less trust of law enforcement. that's in l.a. where i feel it's very strong, as i said, since we've worked on building that trust and partnership for so long. i can't imagine how bad it is in areas where there hasn't been that work for partnership and engagement. and i fear that that is going to result in more bad things, whether it's you're going to see more entrapment type, infiltration of communities, more surveillance of communities or a more general and a more ominous problem and that is communities feeling more isolated and alienated from the rest of society. where now we are approaching the european structure where muslims are outside the mainstream, as opposed to the american struc

to have ideas of how at the state local level we can work with you? i'm happy to hear the priority at the federal level. >> will love to talk to about the issues you're seeing in iowa. we have law-enforcement around the country, whenever i'm in a field office attend to meet with the prosecutors and state local law enforcement. ice in cincinnati and met with the sheriff's office and police department. in some places they have collaborative model where they work together to find victims and figure out what's the right one to prosecute the offender. whether the salvation army or some other agency. one thing i've heard from law enforcement to different places is that trafficking crimes are not charged as that. maybe as a gun case which is easier to prove. so if the numbers don't show up on the sheet, the resources don't follow. to increasing public awareness and education about the prevalence of the fact that it might be happening even if they been charged on the ear might help. >> we have time for one more question. >> we have a problem in america today

that's going into this it doesn't magically grow on trees no money that was taxed whether it be at a local level or federal level that's what this is what's also interesting when you really dig into the numbers of this particular issue with police is that you've got the new jersey reporters one of six states that doesn't actually licenses their police officers they have no official procedure method to ban bad cops and there are many other states that also have this problem as well which boggles my mind in today's day and age that we've reached this level twenty one the last thing before we move on before we get on to this is that the asbury park press actually found at least sixty four thousand three hundred fifty three internal affairs complaints filed since joining a lot of. and you're going to lose it less than one half of one percent that's two hundred twenty six resulted in officer being charged of a crime of those defendants ninety were convicted so that's the numbers not good that's a lot of money and feeding people educating people cleaning cleaning up roads cleaning up the. value of mon

there are thousands of independent elections right at the state and local levels. they are run with her own policies and their own processes. anne frank and a lot of ways of their own vocabulary. when you talk about acronyms and defining those, that's really important. because of that having common definitions of what these data are, and what we can do within, we really struggle to talk to each other. so the election administration and voting survey, for those of you don't know, it is a large-scale, the only large-scale data collection instrument for administrative data on elections in the u.s. so calling it a survey is a bit of misnomer. it's really offensive of election administration in the united states. covering a variety of topics registration for the, absentee voting, military and overseas voting, technology and our processes. what's a really remarkable is 2004 was the first survey was fielded and smugly think it's fundamental questions about elections in the united states pixel for example, how many precincts and polling places either in the united states?

and yet you don't always see policy makers at the federal, state and local level ponying up. i think it's a job requirement of an election official to do more with less. so with that high potential turnout, we're not seeing tremendous amount of budgetary investment and so what you will have to continue to do, what the elekds community will have to do going forward is find a way to meet an ever higher demand for service with a demand. we're seeing potential changes in laws. attorneys or paying attention more closely or just ohioens will hear argument today in a ohio case regarding application of the national voter registration act about the impact of nonvoting on list mant nnz. we could see significant changes in many states in the way voter lists are managed and and that become as moving targets and moving targets aren't necessarily helpful and we're seeing growing interest in what's now known -- i know we saw amber and jennifer in what's known as the colorado model of election administration and election day where voters are mailed ballots and have the option to mail them ba

with the fight back level, but also the local level. >> 2.3-2.6 trillion dollars. there is a lot of coincidence in those numbers. 2.3 trillion is the additonal debt. 2.3 or so trillion is about the value of the unfunded critical infrastructure projects around the country. and about 2.3-2.6 trillion is about the amount of equity held by u.s. corporations overseas to avoid paying taxes. imagine a scenario where forward thinking officials are marrying up that money. we have a $2.3 trillion deficit in infrastructure, we have 2.3 overseas. let us try to bring it back and get some of it invested in infrastructure. but instead, as i mentioned earlier, there is now an incentive to keep big portions of that overseas, you are generating income at a lower rate. we just create the $2.3 trillion deficit. when you invest in infrastructure, it takes federal government, state and local government, and the private sector. we have just tied both hands behind our back. that is why the president is talking about state and local having to do more. that is what the administration says,

carriers voluntarily participate to authorize alerts originators at the federal, tribal and state and local level to warn the public of all levels of emergencies. first employed april 2012 thanks to the collaborative effort by industry and the public safety community. the system has issued more than 33000 emergency alerts. we have worked to more precisely target those alerts located in the exact area where the emergency exists. those that repeatedly get alerts that are not relevant to them one day may ignore the alert that directly impacts their safety and that would be extremely unfortunate. this is why back in september 2016 we saw comments for the industry to go beyond the geo- targeting standard to closely match the target area that the alert originator transmits. that is demonstrated again that despite differences on specific policy details my colleagues and i consider the industry's challenges to work toward supporting this goal. today's order marks in a milestone with the previous administration enhance proposal that requires industry to leave that enhanced standard by november 30, 2019. i
