alternative vote system is that it retains the constituency link which i believe is important, not just a mbs of the house or butt to the whole population. but given the issues about trust and politics there is a case for every member of this house coming here with the support of more than 50 percent of the electorate as a result of the alternative vote system to work. i believe there is a case for a referendum on this issue and i believe that those people who wish to see it reformed or wish to see a referendum on that basis. >> the 200 euro dam in my constituency which is an earthworks dam containing a chase water reservoir started to leak. a recent engineer's report says that if it collapses there will be scores of lives lost and a lasting effect on the west midlands as a region. the small district of lichfield hasn't gotten the funds to make the urgent repairs. can the prime minister please use his best endeavors to ensure that this is taken financially over a much broader region? >> of course, sir, i would be happy to look at what he says on the very specific issue. but i do see he is mak

that are terrorists who disappear into the night and get on planes with bombs and there shun's -- bo mbsn their shoes. >> when you catch these people, then you want to give them constitutional rights. >> that is not what i said. >> you said he should be a lawyered up. we should have taken the time to interrogated him properly. >> we apparently have information from him. the two of us did not know what it is. >> we are going to change format a little bit. we are going to allow each candidate a chance to ask the other two candidates a question and get a 1 minute response. i will start with ms. coakley. i somehow think it will be a continuation of what they have been talking about. >> in massachusetts, you supported legislation that would allow hospital employees to deny hospital care to rape victims if it was their choice. you have also received the endorsement of the massachusetts right to life organization that said you will be a vote for right to life in the senate. do you accept their endorsement? >> first of all, thank you for your question. i have a very big tent. i appreciate everyb

they're operating with the mb-22, that's given us a reach we wouldn't have had otherwise in that area. in addition, we've distributed lots of water, almost 19 -- almost two million bottles of water, distributed about 1.5 million rations, if you will, and that effort continues. we've also distributed about 43,000 radios and i just wanned to give you an example, this is an example of the radios we're distributing. it has a hand crank on it that has been popular, you just twist the crank and it will operate the radio for about 45 minutes. you can charge a cell phone with it and it has a light associated with it also. that's been very popular with the haitians and provided them information on where to go for distribution as well as opportunities to listen to their favorite radio station. it's been a very key effort. in addition to that, going back to the port, the picture in the upper left-hand corner gives you an image of what that floating dock looks like. as you can see. it's fairly constrained. but it's able to meet the needs of what we're doing. we're getting great support through th
