>> thank you very much mister president. firstly, what i would say is peter dutton is one of my closest personal friends in this parliament. the second thing i would say is that peter dutton has provided outstanding service to our nation, particularly in more recent times as the very effective minister for foreign affairs.he's been an important contributor to the success of the turnbull government in spite of national security and border protection and i've been concerned that the prime minister and mister dutton who has chosen to go to the backbench has had subsequent to the party room and of course as we hard-working members of dixon representing the lmt in queensland, we look forward to the great contribution mister dutton will make to the future success of our government including at the next election. >> order, senator marshall on supplementary questions. >> i again refer to the minister for foreign affairs mister dutton who this afternoon promised he will and i quote do whatever i can now to make sure that we are in a

mister chairman, mister president, chairman grassley, chairman of the judiciary committee, i believe has done an extreme very job under difficult circumstances. he has been extra nearly gracious in trying to accommodate doctor ford. that is what we have all wanted. even after legal team, for deadlines over the course of last week. i have to be honest, though. some of the tactics waged so far make me wonder if doctor ford is still in control of her own story and her own circumstances. it makes me wonder whether she is being exploited by a political cause and whether her handlers, and some of her supporters truly have her interests at heart. i wonder particularly if after insisting the sensitive matter be treated confidentially, why it was the letter and position of our colleagues on the judiciary committee on the democratic side was leaked to the media and doctor ford forced to go forward publicly. remember, the reason why our friend, the ranking member from california, said she withheld this allegation until the very last-minute was to protect doctor ford and respect her request for

we have a mister kramer, a miss eastland, miss abelson, mister corbin, mister lachance, miss mahoney, miss smith and mister christmas. i would ask you at this point if you would stand and i'd like to have you take an oath . do you swear that the testimony you're about to give before this committee would be the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you god? thank you for responding. now i would like to say a little bit about each of you so the public watching on television or anybody in the audience knows. a layer eastman is let's see, i'm going, okay. is a student. i should be starting with mister kramer . aj kramer is a public defender of the district of columbia, very important position. these held the position since the creation of the office of federal public defender for the district of colombia in 1991. i don't know but i'll bet you is one of the longest-serving people in that position, anyplace in the country. we have a layer eastman, student from parkland florida and survivor of the very sad school shooting at marjorie stoneman douglas high school. where the tr

that, mister president is where we are. this so-called resistance has become a smear campaign peer and simple aided and abetted by members of the united states senate. eight weeks ago the judiciary committee received a letter from that christine ford was the uncorroborated allegation of misconductt. she requested the matter be handled discreetly and confidential. the responsible next step would be to alert the full committee so of confidential bipartisan investigation could begin to follow their standard practice for investigating background information. they would have questioned judge kavanaugh in their meetings or in closed session while respecting doctor ford's request for confidentiality. but democrats did not do that.th they sat on doctor ford's letter for seven weeks and kept the secret and did nothing and then through her own wishes they leaked it to the press our colleague from delaware in himself indicated in the ranking member's office the democratic committee staff likely leaked the document we know the chain of

mister branstad? >> in part, they are extremely important, i will tell you that nebraska law also requires us to have essentially the same set of tests, but as it does come in so there is some agreement on that side of the equation, but when we try to look at other things that matter to our students, right, levels of student engagement, that really matters it students and parents are not engaged we do not have everythingÃmax? what do you mean? >> that they actually feel like they are someone within the school, that somebody is keeping them engaged and not just being in a position where they don't care about me, they can't identify an adult at school that cares and knows about them, something like that are important. -- but it is part of what we are talking about, is how do you measure the type of engagement? how do you understand the positive partnership and relationships that students need to be successful, and i was was providing that, as well. we are also looking at things like absenteeism, as one

mister speaker, this hard evidence has enabled the independent crown prosecution service to conclude they have a sufficient basis on which to bring charges against these two men for the attack in salisbury. the same two men are now also the prime suspect in the case of don sturgis, too. there is no other inquiry behind this. it is now one investigation. there are good reasons for doing so. our own analysis, together with yesterday's report has confirmed the exact same chemical nerve agent was used in both cases. there is no evidence to suggest that they may have been deliberately targeted, but rather were victims of the reckless disposal of this agent. the police have released further details of the small glass counterfeit perfume bottle and box, found in charlie rowley's house, and found to contain this nerve agent. the way the bottle was modified leaves no doubt it was modified to smuggle the agent into the country. mister speaker, the investigation into the poisoning is ongoing and police are appealing for further information. but were these two suspects within our jurisdiction, t

because that request was not supported by you mister chairman, the archives refused to produce these documents. i have thatletter of refusal. that was a disappointing blow against transparency and about our right as a minority and the public right for information . there are two issues that chairman has long championed and it honestly makes me wonder what in judge kavanaugh's record are republicans hiding? last week's hearing was further proof that we need this fall record as i've said . when questions about his white house work and judge kavanaugh was evasive and misleading. often he was not able to recall what he had worked on or what his specific role might have been. for instance, i asked the judge whether he worked on any issues related to reproductive health care or choice. instead of asking, he said this and i quote. president bush was a pro-life president and so his policy was pro-life and those who work for him had to assist him of course in pursuing these policies. some of those things may have crossed mydesk . i cannot remember the specifics . so we should be able to see t

mister president that was in july. after the committee's thorough review of judge cavanagh was just getting started. there was ample time for vetting this allegation in a bipartisan matter one - - manner to honor her request for privacy. all there democrats needed to do was go through proper channels to share the information with colleagues but that is not what senate democrats did.t this is the democratic caucus whose leader the senior senator said just after he was nominated to say he would oppose him with everything i'veer got. just hours after the nomination. this is the democratic caucus of which several members preemptively announced opposition to any nominee before judge cavanagh was even named the democratic caucus spent all summer looking for reasons to delay this nomination. there were not enough documents. too many documents. headlines. know they did not treat doctor ford or her allegations with the seriousness and s discretion she deserved. apparently they took no meaningful action for weeks and then finall

thanks very much, mister chair. and congratulations mister blair and welcome to the committee. the agreement came into force in 2004. as we heard, in 2001, approximately 45,000 asylum- seekers came to canada. i think that was the peak, actually. in 2000, that was the second highest. our numbers were at 37,000, about 38,000, approximately, and the third highest was in 2008 at 37,000, as well. so now, by way of comparison, before it came into effect, can you give us a background on how that was managed and how that compares to today, in terms of the situation we are faced with today where the agreement is in place? >> in terms of the historical retrospective on management techniques, prior to 2001 or 2002, i would have to defer to officials in the department to remind us of the history. >> yes and i am most particularly interested in, did we see asylum-seekers coming through one or two particular border entry points or did they actually come over at various different border entry points? >> thank you, mister chair, for that specific question we would have to look back at the hist

>> thank you mister chairman. mister chairman grassley, ranking member white house and members of the committee, i am honored to be here to address you in support of my friend and my daughter's favorite coach, the honorable kavanaugh. my testimony today will not be from a legal perspective but from a personal and parental perspective. consider it more about the person in the nominee. i have known judge kavanaugh for many years but in recent years have seen him on a regular basis thanks to his position as coach of the cyo girl in the sixth grade basketball team at the sacrament school and in our house, he is not known as judge kavanaugh but as coach k. he was my daughter's code for two years. our first year, his daughter was in fourth grade and therefore ineligible for the team. he still coached. in my book, that alone qualifies him for sainthood. as a high school and college player, coach a has a job the requisite basketball knowledge. more importantly, he had the other necessary attributes of patience, fairness a

chairman. >> mister chairman.s may i respond? it is my understanding that her story was leaked before the letter became public and she testified she had spoken to her friends about it and most likely that is how the story leaked and that she was asked by the press. but it did not leak from us i assure you of that. >> mister chairman i'm a little confused i thought only the member of the house and senator feinstein and her lawyers had a letter? so her friends she may have talked to could not leak the letter they just had a verbal conversation unless she gave them a copy of the letter. >> i don't think the letter was ever leaked. >> how did the press know to contact her about her complaint quick. >> she testified this morning she talk to friends and the press had talked to her. >> judge, since there was a reference to the legitimate problems and the change of lifestyle that doctor ford had if you want some time to talk about the impact on your family i would be glad to hear you if you don't want to talk about it that's okay. >> i t

to mister albence. are you familiar with the 2016 study that the ada did the do -- that they are five times more likely to win their cases if they have counsel? are you familiar with that?>> i may have seen some reporting on that. >> again, i have seen some reporting on several studies of that nature, i can't speak to that specific one. >> it seems to be important because i have no reason to doubt that study that immigrants that have counsel are five times more likely to win their cases, i think it is a testament to who is crossing the border and why. and we may be sending folks and deporting folks that have legitimate cases simply because they don't have access to counsel so my question for both of you is the department of justice and homeland security doing anything, are you taking into account in your processes the ability of folks to be able to get counsel? because right now there is no constitutional right for counsel favor have to get a pro bono counsel or try to get detained counsel which is diff

. >> thank you mister speaker. when it comes to brexit the joint statement of the last year said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. does the prime minister agree that this means the payments of the 39 billion pounds, exit payment of that money should be locked into that legally binding agreement that also requires the final trade agreement to be fully agreed and implemented by the 31st of september in 2020 in a form that is acceptable in the house. >> we are very clear that we need to have an in between between the future relationship in the withdrawal agreement. we are a country that honors our obligations. we believe in the rule of law and therefore we agree with abiding by our obligations. my honorable friend is right that a specific deal was made to reach a deal for the union and as the eu itself has said, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. without that the position changes. >> the prime minister was right yesterday to be promoting electric vehicles, but she also needs to focus on pro

. >> mister chairman, is it your intent to cede all republican senators time to your prosecutor reverend they themselves seeding their time to her? >> yes. >> we all know the prosecutor, even though this clearly is not a criminal proceeding, is asking doctor ford all kinds of questions about what happened before and after but basically not during the attack. the prosecution should know sexual assault survivors often do not remember information like before or after the traumatic event and yet she will persist in asking these questions also undermine the memory and credibility of doctor ford. we all know doctor ford's memory of the assault is very clear. doctor ford, the prosecutor asked all kinds of questions about who you called and when, asking details that would be asked in a cross-examination of a witness in a criminal trial but this is not a criminal proceeding. this is a confirmation proceeding. i think i know what she is trying to get at so i will ask you very plainly, doctor ford. is there a political motivation for your coming forward with your account of the assault by brett kav
