it is most valuable port in maine. it lands 50 to $60 million worth of lobster every year and most of the landings are just lobster. 99% of the landings. in stonington, what we see is we expect those lobster -- the availability of lobster to decline by about 20%. there are new species moving in, like black sea bass and squid. so really the future of reall g stonington as a fishing community will be shaped by the ability to tap into the resources moving into waters they currently fish. and that gets back to our ability to create governance arrangements that support that adaptation. i want to highlight the future of stonington is not just about the ability to adapt to fisheries in the water. looking at the prospect for a 20% decline in lobster has major ramal r ramifications for taxes at the same time for infrastructure investments. one of the issues is sea level rise, particularly because stonington is connected to the main lying causeway. it's not just about adjusting to the species available. it's also going to be tie

i'm a science at the gulf of maine research institute and the gulf of maine is one of the fastest warmingegions in the world's oceans. since we sort of realized how rapidly the gulf of maine was warming, a lot of my research has focused on how these warming patterns are affecting fish populations, fisheries, and fishing communities and i'm here today to share with you some of the experiences related to fisheries in the northeast u.s. and hopefully using these examples to demonstrate that the findings and the key messages that are coming out of the special report on oceans and cryosphere are not far away and far into the future, they are messages that are relevant here and now. we're already seeing a lot of these changes occurring in fisheries in the northeast u.s. so i am going to -- in my talk today, attempt to highlight a few examples related to some of the key themes in this report and i thought this report does an excellent job of highlighting some of the physical changes we're seeing in the ocean, particularly that the ocean is warming, warming rates are increasing and marine heat wa

chief among those is susan collins of maine. she is running in 2020 and famously gave her floor speech where she announced her support for kavanaugh, and then in the days right after that, there was about $4 million raised into an account that will go toward supporting her opponent. you saw a rally yesterday in portland, maine by local activists there, who are still upset one year later with her support for kavanaugh. that will be the issue in her race. likewise for people like cory gardner in colorado, and even mitch mcconnell in kentucky. he is in a pretty hospitable environment in kentucky. that is a pretty trumpy state. but you are seeing a lot of grassroots donations to his opponent, in large part because the country this fed up with his cynical approach to politics. host: how much money are you spending on television advertising the cycle? maine, we have a combined digital and television ad which features a resident, a former collins supporter, who says that post the vote for brett kavanaugh she cannot support susan collin

one of the main reasons we saved so many lives was because of the plasma. the european theater of operation blood bank held the plasma. the plasma is the fluid component of blood with red and f.ite cells spun of it is a volume expander and increases intravascular volume. we get the iv started, get that going, and hopefully get their blood pressure up and stabilize them to the point where we can call transportation and get them out. the second part of the war, believe it or not, they came up plasma.eze-dried it would look like cornstarch. they would mix it with distilled water and that would reconstitute it. and there would be your volume expander. that is what we would give. someone asked, why do surgery -- do you do surgery? no, i don't do surgery. i don't have general anesthesia equipment, and number two i can't take time to do that. if i spend an hour and i have five or six troopers out here -- the main thing that i have been here, the main quality of this battalion aid station worth their weight in gold is a seasoned medic. a seasoned medic can start th

mass protests in lebanon what is it exactly that is driving people on to the streets like this the main reason beyond all these demonstrations of protests in lebanese cities that the government try to impose more taxes on the bodies population especially when we're talking about telecom this small the main issue all these people to the streets is more overt. also the government imposed more taxes trying to save energy economy and lebanon. what more can you tell us about this battle because as as you said the government is set to present a reform package on monday aimed at easing the economic crisis. in fact the prime minister aside how do you do that. you think with the ministers and all the political parties and lebanon trying to figure out which package should be cut off to the economy is moving down to playing on the budget pressures done by the street by protest goes bust on to this moment we have a little bit. some teeth or some info about this package that showed the old if the they are taking this lead in maine is better because they said that these 3 told can be done years ago w

now today's other main stories.fire brigade has been condemned for systemic failures in its response to the grenfell tower fire. the bbc has seen the conclusions of an inquiry into the tragedy that claimed 72 lives which says fewer people would have died if the building had been evacuated sooner. the full report will be published tomorrow. sarah corker reports. the grenfell inquiry was set up to get to the truth about what happened, how a small kitchen fire turned into one of britain's worst modern disasters. this report sharply criticises the london fire brigade. it concludes with an earlier decision was made to evacuate instead of telling families to stay put inside, it's likely more lives would have been saved. while the report praised the courage of firefighters on the night, it found there were serious deficiencies in command and control, inadequate training, problems dealing with 999 calls, basic information on the building was missing, and the communication system didn't work properly. this is the first emerg
