during the case, mr davis was asked about his association with jihadi davis was asked about his associationbout his association with jihadi john and whether or not he'd been involved in the beheading cell in syria. he denied that. western intelligence agencies are absolutely clear that they believe that mr davies was one of the beatles, nicknamed the beatles by the western journalists and aid workers who they detained, many of them had their heads cut off byjihadijohn. so mr davies is starting a seven and a half year sentence which he'll serve here in turkey while the british and american authorities decide whether they want to extradite him to one of those two countries to serve trial for his role in that beatles detention cell. daniel, his wife has beenjailed in connection with terrorism offences already? that's correct. his wife was jailed at the old bailey for sending him money or trying to send him money while he was in syria. she's actually served her sentence and is now out of prison but she actually, while he was still on the run as it were, served a substantial prison sentence in t

mrs. davis: let me tell you about one of these extraordinary heroes, san diego police department officer jonathan deguzman, or j.d. as his friends knew him. he dedicated his life to protect the san diego community he loved. his bravery shows the kind of unique selflessness found in police officers. after suffering a brutal stabbing from a suspect, j.d. went back to the force and that same year he won the san diego police department purple heart award for bravery in the line of duty. tragically on july 28, 2016, officer deguzzman, a 16-year veteran of the force, was shot and killed. a hero taken from us too early. there is a special honor in representing those who serve us every single day. those like san diego's own j.d. officers deguzman. thank you to the brave men and women of our police force who are -- your sacrifice and your strength keeps us safe. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> mr. speaker

barletta: i yield four minutes to the the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. mr. davis: thank you chairman barletta and i look over this house floor and thank the the gentlewoman from illinois, because if you travel to my district in southern illinois and ask my constituents about their opinion of fema's declaration process they are going to tell you it's broken. don't look any further than the state of illinois to see how the formula is failing hard-working families, because it does not put all communities on a level playing field. . . due to the damage inflicted by the exact same storm. just a few short years ago the towns of gifford and washington in central illinois were denied public assistance as well despite those communities suffering millions in damage and just last year illinois was once again denied public assistance following extensive damage in late december, 2015 and early january of 2016 caused by severe storms and flooding in the central and southern parts of our state. under existing regulations fema currently takes into account several factors whe

mr. davis: mr. charle, we agree that no one, no one thinks this bill is going to harm anyone. we are looking for commonsense provisions and i'm thankful to my colleague for making this a bipartisan solution. i yield two minutes to mr. yoho. the chair: the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. yoho: this is an absolute necessity of reducing regulatory burdens act, the 6th circuit overstepped its authority adirecting the e.p.a. to have duplicative process. fifra, already requires the e.p.a. to review the data and evaluate risks and exposures sociated with the certain of pesticides, fungicides and rodenticides. after a given use of a pesticide, fifra prohibits its use its use. approved uses are requiring additional reviews under the national pollute ant discharge elimination system is simply unnecessary and burdensome. unless the body sets the record straight and overturns the 6th circuit decision, we will be opening a tried and true permitting process to numerous citizens' lawsuits that will be bad for agriculture and all such bad decisions results in increased costs paid fo

it is understood mr davies, who took part in the itv wales debate earlier in may, is on holiday.spondent tomos morgan. a bit of confusion about who will be in the debate. yes, an embarrassing start to the debate here today. there has been an internal row between members of the conservative party, andrew rt davies is expected to do all three debates, he did the itv debate, the leaders debate with the bbc, alun cairns the welsh secretary took over, that. today, neither of them were of the doing it. it is said that alan cans, thought that andrew rt davies was doing it, and he said that alan cans was unwilling to do it. so, the shadow education minister in wales is stepping in, the only non—leader thatis is stepping in, the only non—leader that is taking part here. today, the leader of the welsh conservatives, ukip‘s leaders in wales, neil hamilton as is mark williams from the welsh liberal democrats. differently to some other debates, that so many key policy issues are devolved in wales, health, education, said the subject areas will include security, immigration, economic and pover

and mr davies said britain would certainly not pay 100 billion euros, the amount suggested by the financialat is not a figure the eu's chief negotiator mentioned this morning. in fact, he did not put any number on the bill. but he did spell out the principle. there is no punishment, there is no brexit bill. the financial settlement is only about settling the accounts. mr barnier said there would have to be progress on the terms of divorce before any talks about the future and trade. and he had this warning. some have created the illusion that brexit would have no material impact on our lives. or that negotiations can be concluded quickly and painlessly. this is not the case. these are the eu's negotiating guidelines that will structure the brexit talks. and michel barnier said today he wanted everybody to keep a cool head through the process. not easy with pressure building on both sides. leaked reports of a very acrimonious dinner in downing street last week. and with the general election now in full flow. campaigning on the health service in bedford, jeremy corbyn said the government's br

. >> thank you mr. davis? >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. mcgee, thank you for your comments that were just made about this industry, hoping to fix some of the customer service problems themselves. last, you know -- like many americans i was disturbed by the video we saw of mr. dao, and also other video subsequent to this that's why i along with my colleague sent a letter to ask questions about the incident, including any guidelines, if any. where an airline asked seated passengers to leave in order to accommodate a flight crew. mr. munoz, thank you for taking responsibility as a ceo for that disturbing video and making sure that there are policies now in place to ensure that doesn't happen again. that's the customer service solution that we here on this committee are looking for. i don't believe government can solve your problems. i don't believe this committee ought to solve any customer service problem. frankly, that's something you that should do for your customers. and we are your customers. we fly a lot. we interact with many of them i

with mr davies expressing surprise, he says, that alun cairns is not turning up here today.oming on behalf of the conservatives. joining other leadership figures. 220 people in this audience, we have invited people from all over wales and they represent parts of wales, and lots of strands of opinion as well. we had quite a difficultjob, it is fairto had quite a difficultjob, it is fair to say, selecting questions. one thing! fair to say, selecting questions. one thing i would point to is it is still a battle in some ways, underlining to people where responsibility lies on some of these big issues. with health, health is the responsibility of the welsh government in cardiff. not the responsibility of westminster. we are trying to steer away from some topics where, for example, people like carwyn jones do topics where, for example, people like carwynjones do not have ultimate say. not an easy thing to do as ultimate say. not an easy thing to doasa ultimate say. not an easy thing to do as a lot of people would argue that the impact of the brexit process would impact the economy

davis: mr. jordan, one of the most consistent responses in our survey was an overall satisfaction with your airline. did you hack my system? [laughter] mr. jordan i do not believe we : hacked it. rep. davis: thank you. beverly said southwest employees are friendly. mary from staunton said southwest employees are professional and friendly. winona from springfield said that southwest cares about their passengers. in all seriousness, is this is a common trend with how customers feel about their experience? are you seeing that with your airline? mr. jordan congressman, yes, the : nps score is how we measure customer service are very high, high 60s to 70s range. they rank in the nordstrom, google, apple nps scores we find that all across. -- we find that across all airports and the customer experience journey, not just due to changes we have made but the wonderful employees of southwest airlines. rep. davis: i fly american airlines. that is when i fly most. i will tell you, an overwhelming majority o

the man who appeared in the dock was asked by the court clerk if his name was mr davies.rges were put to him. they were similar in character. offences under the communications act and it was put to him that he had sent messages in the form of facebook postings that were both menacing in character and also rationally aggravated. the first of the messages it is alleged was sent to gina miller the businesswoman, and sent days after she won her initial ruling in the high court, she had challenged the government saying the government didn't have the right lawfully to trigger article 50 of the lisbon treaty without going to parliament for a vote in parliament because parliament was sovereign. that case went to the supreme court where she w011 went to the supreme court where she won it. the other two charges related again to facebook postings, but they were made earlier in september of last year, and concerned other individuals. the three charges are put and he pleaded not guilty to all three. a date for a trial was fixedment that will take place on 10thjuly of this year and he

mr. davis: during his storied radio and television broadcast career heck covered the biggest local, state and national news, including every presidential election from 1964 through 2016. dave was known for his honest and trustworthy coverage of local and national politics. dave won a number of awards in his career as a journalist. in 1980, he won the u.p.i. best television sports play-by-play award for his coverage of illinois basketball. in 1999 he was honored with the associated press' mark twain lifetime achievement award. he was named to the eastern illinois university hall of fame and was designated a lifetime member of the illinois news broadcasters association. dave also received an emmy award for his career accomplishments in 2011. dave leaves a long legacy as a trusted figure on the news and in the champaign-urbana community. his family and friends continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gent

and as it was mentioned by mr. davis, the former ceo of nav canada said he gets twice as much technology at half the cost three times as fast. so, again, as a business owner, a former business owner, if we're spending 25 to 28 times more on cap "x" and we're getting very little for it, that's a real problem. that's a real problem for the american taxpayer, that's a real problem for the system if the if we were doing it efficiently, my goodness, how often would could drive the cost down. and as i spoke to the folks ads at nav canada and everybody understands in say volume business. and if we go to the system, our volume is so tremendous it will dramatically drive down the cost and we'll have more money out there to do things to help more communities, to do things about the efficiency, the technology, the employees. so, again, this is something we've got an opportunity and i said to the airlines when i was here lot of last time when they did something very wrong. we have an opportunity here to do something very right, and

mr. davis: mr. speaker, i rise today to honor one of our nation's heroes. on april 27, army ranger sergeant joshua p. rogers of bloomington, illinois, was killed in action serving his third tour in afghanistan. at age 22, sergeant rogers had already earned the prestigious ranger tab, parachutist badge, marksmanship qualification badge, expert rifle, and many others. e leaves behind his parents, sisters, brother, and countless others whose lives have been forever changed by his. i never had the honor of meeting sergeant rogers but those who knew him best remember him as a warrior. tenacious, humble, determined, a true inspiration to everyone who knew him. we are forever grateful to sergeant rogers and the men and women who put country above all else, a debt which we can never repay. it is because of sergeant rogers and many like him that we live in the land of the free. it truly is because of the brave. on saturday, sergeant rogers will be laid to rest as his family and friends gather to celebrate his life. a life filled with patriotism, honor, and service.

i think mr davies will not be swayed by his demeanour.ne tough cookie and he knows that. both sides have their own audiences to play for, there will be other eu countries looking to michel barnier to ta ke countries looking to michel barnier to take a tough public stand just as the electorate here are looking to the electorate here are looking to the british government to take a tough public stand. why that is potentially problematic —— problematic is because it limits the freedom to negotiate and compromise. if you publicly said you're going to bea if you publicly said you're going to be a very tough, bloody—minded women or whatever and you do not prove that in negotiations, people say, you said you would drive a hard bargain. it makes it harderfor theresa may to compromise and cut deals after having struck such a position. it is also hard for michel barnier to back up having said he would get this money. the rhetoric on both sides makes the deal much more harder. plenty to talk about over the course of the day. you will be back with us

what about the role of mr david davis?were paying him a large amount of money to do the negotiation for us? clearly, it's going to be a very difficult process and those people in ukip and people who support them who say well, let's get on with it, let's pull out and have no deal, they should realise the deal we will get is the world trade organisation deal with the ta riffs trade organisation deal with the tariffs and the rules. eu rules are the world trade organisation rules andi the world trade organisation rules and i know which ones would be worse for wales and which ones would be worst for the uk. what will your party be saying to voters on the doorstep in the fection five weeks then? well, on the eu issue, we are very much in favour of protecting wales' situation as an exporting country. we have a surplus of exports from wales and certainly we have a very important trade with other eu partners for example 90% of our food and other eu partners for example 90% of ourfood and drink other eu partners for example 90% of o

as i heard mr. davis earlier talk about the survey that he took, i hope you will take into mind focus groups, surveys, reach out more to the flying public to hear from them. and in that regards, it's a little different than some of the questions we've had before. i wanted to point out something we highlighted in working group, women in the workforce. studies show, a little off what we've been talking about, studies show companies with three or four women in senior management functions scored higher in leadership, accountability and innovation more than companies with no women at the top. i know when i look in the transportation industry in general it is male heavy. the boards are also that case. i would ask as you're looking at this, making improvements and taking into account all the things we discussed here today, sort of the diversification of boards and taking that opportunity, i think technology is something we can use much more. also technology really takes into account the lives of your flying publ

mr. davis, five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and welcome, secretary perdue. as we know there's never anyy. geographical turf battle when he comes to agriculture, but are some who comes from the midwest, i have heard nothing but couplets about your appointment as secretary of agriculture here there's a lot of optimism, a lot of hope out there that your experience and what you can bring to the position is going to be very beneficial for our farmers in the midwest and also agriculture as a whole. i want to say thanks again, and if the subcommittee chairman ofs the biotech horticulture and research subcommittee, i amlt especially interested in theterd research title, and among other issues that we deal with on that committee. because i represent the land-grant university, i call it the best land-grant university ever, the university ofuniversi illinois, i but also not land-grant universities like the illinois state university that rely upon a very robustly funded and research program. it's my belief investing in research today will save us costs tomorrow, special

davies, the rbs chairman. the markets are calmed. the vix is lower. mr. macron was elected in france.complacent right now? >> possibly. it is not surprising in a way, with two elections, the results so widely forecast, the french election and the u.k. election. it would be surprising if the markets were surprised. guy: right. howard: but of course, winning the presidential election and france is just round two of a four yround election. then there is the difficult issue of what you do with french economic reform. after that, there is the issue of whether it is possible to engage in eurozone reform in a meaningful way. there is quite a lot of uncertainty ahead. initially, just some relief that we don't have a worse outcome in france. but the difficult bit of labor market reform in france followed and the germans are making this clear, that unless the french do something to get therir own house in order first, they are not interested in eurozone reform. guy: these are the details that are happening in france. but the data around the world is improving. we're almost 10 years on from the

. >> mr. davis recognized for 5 minutes. >> i bet i can guess this thought. when is this going to be offer. this is a very important hearing today. one that i believe from many of the responses that we heard today and many of my colleagues that it centers on what is really this debate of what is the cost of doing nothing. i mean it already cost the taxpayers billions of dollars to see the, to put towards nextagain anextgen and we are not seeing the progress with being america with the air system that we have to be upgraded to compete on the same level of some of our allies. i can't help but to compare with work that has already done. what has been done in canada, in the united kingdom. canada has bought twice the technology at half the cost and has done so in a third of the time. so let me start with you, mr. rinaldi, what do you think would be the cost of doing nothing. >> status quo or doing nothing is unacceptable. september will be here before we know it and looking at another possible shutdown. and as i said in my opening statement, as we lead up to a sh

mrs may's official spokesman told lobbyjournalist this morning when asked, theresa may will be in charge of the talks, assisted by david davisuse she is trying to say to voters, who do you want talking to the other 27 leaders — jeremy corbyn or me? and they are saying, you are not going to be talking to us anywhere. it will be interesting to see how she responds. how can they make a remark? more hard—core brexiteer 's will be outraged. of course they were going to be like that. the idea that it would be this rational process, this is politics. i don't think we should be surprised that the negotiations will be like this. what might you say, of course, it was likely to be difficult, of course, it will be a tortuous process was perhaps. that has not been what david davis, john redwood, jacob rees mogg, iain duncan smith, that is not what they have been saying. iain duncan smith and jacob rees mogg, it will take two years to sort this out. not a problem. and a lot of people believe that. you don't know how long it might take. this could be bluster. the start of negotiations, a lot of tough talk. it doesn't mean that it will be t

davies reports. donald trump's reported links and contacts with russia have dogged the first 100 days of his presidency. the latest allegations that mre information to the russian foreign minister during the oval office meeting last week. according to the washington post, while discussing threats from so—called islamic state, the president inexplicably told the russians details about from where the americans got certain information. one report said the president was almost boasting. the information related to the use of laptops on board aircraft but, said the report, us intelligence agencies had to be alerted to the fact the president may have compromised sources in his meeting with the russians. and that set alarm bells ringing in washington. it's disturbing. let's find out what the details are, whether it actually happened or not. we've just had an initial report, so it's very difficult to comment until we get all the facts here. taking to social media this morning, mr trump said he was merely sharing facts with the russians in their mutual fight against so—called islamic state and terrorism. senior aides, who were at the russia me

davis. >> thank you, mr. chairman, i really appreciate you having this hearing. it tells me how serious you are about this topic and it has been going on for some time. one of the questions looming out there, and you talked so much about people who are in important places. leadership. but i'm wondering right now, we have a federal hiring freeze. we're also having a great deal of difficulty getting people into appointed positions. nominations and even the confirmations. how is that affecting all of this? >> i think -- it is creating a very challenging environment. i think the hiring freeze in particular is sort of, you know, using a meat axe when you need a scalpel and many administrations across politicals of all different stripes, it's a blunt instrument because what it does is it cuts off your talent pipeline and it prohibits you from hiring the best talent coming in, the next generation even in the most higher priority areas, and so you basically create a personal bathtub that will follow you through over time. you know, as your talent pool progresses. i was o

davis, you are recognized >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i did have a lot of questions.thank you so much to all of you for being here. i think if there is anything i take from this is that i'm glad that you can point to a few areas in which there's been some change, but clearly not enough. i think that we all have to be very cognizant of that. i'm really more inclined to want to just go ahead and move on with the next panel because i hope that you all can stay at least for a few minutes because i'm certainly interested in some of the reaction, but there are a few things. the special victims counsel that i think generally i sense that it's a good thing and we know that it's also a model that's been picked up at the universities in some universities. we are pushing for more, but i'm glad to see that is positive. i would be interested in knowing how we can progress even more, to speed up any of the best parts and get rid of some of the problems that might have occurred. the unit to climate is also very important and we talk about retaliation. i think i would love to know mo

davis. oksana, the itr account raised a lot of eyebrows. i want to ask you to respond record in mr.ach. but the story really is that the market has changed in terms of positioning. if you're looking at futures, coming into the year, huge sht, now a marginal long. what do you make of how the market is set up in treasuries? oksana: the market is still massively long, this kind of risk generally. long, traditional, interest rate-driven fixed-income risk. let's get that very clear. any amount of open short interest out there that fluctuates is meaningful and important to follow. generally, if you look at individual portfolios, institutional portfolios, and think about the risk parity funds, there are volatility driven. think about the amount of leverage they are probably amassing. they arerobly at or about max leverage and any kind of high frequency trading portfolio is probably low. it is a massively long trade. i think talking about invests being oris way too premature until we actually see rates move up and see how portfolios react. jonathan: greg davis, you are in a priviledosition

the president sacked mr comey last week — but now the fbi has been urged by a senior republican to hand over relevant documents. wyre daviespresident of the united states, is barely four months into office — yet he is dealing with an almost daily drip of allegations. the latest — that he tried to influence an fbi enquiry. in february, one of the president's closest allies was forced to resign, when it emerged that mike flynn, then the national security advisor, misled the administration over his contact with russian officials before mr trump took office. now an explosive accusation from the new york times — that the day after mr flynn's dismissal, donald trump asked the fbi director, james comey, to drop the flynn investigation. those were the president's words, according to a note, which the paper says mr comey wrote directly after the meeting. and there is james! despite public shows of support, relations between donald trump and mr comey were strained over the fbi investigations into mr flynn — and alleged russian interference in the us election. investigations mr comey insisted would continue. the fbi, as part of our c

rally, mrs merkel said that europe would remain friends with america and the uk, but that it could no longer completely depend on them following the election of president trump and brexit. caroline daviesorts. a loud reception and a giant pretzel, angela merkel received a large warm welcome campaigning in munich, but the german leader had less warm words for america and britain — german and europe can no longer rely on you. translation: we europeans must really take our fate into our own hands. of course, in friendship with the united states of america, in friendship with great britain, and as good neighbours wherever that is possible, also with other countries, even with russia, but we have to know that we must fight for our own future on our own, for our destiny as europeans, and that is what i want to do together with you. unusually direct and passionate words for the chancellor, perhaps less of a surprise after the rather cool few days in the company of president trump. at his first meeting of g7, the american president refused to confirm whether he would commit to the paris accord, an agreement to reduce greenhouse gases to help combat climate change. angela merkel was not impress

pennsylvania state police corporals mark van american and aaron davis have returned to the stop where they helped stop a cold-blooded killer. >> when mrllegedly until our area and on the loose, everyone was concerned. >> for two days, the entire country looked for steve stevens, a cleveland man who killed a 74-year-old stranger on easter sunday, then posted video of the horrific shooting on facebook. >> i thought of the fact that he had already taken a life and bragged about taking many others. and for all intents and purposes, was going to take more. >> reporter: on april 18th, an alert employee spotted stephens at this area mcdonald's and called 911. that mcdonald's was directly across the street from where davis was on a break. >> we saw the vehicle, the white ford fusion drive by. and so, obviously, we were trying to catch up to him. he pulls over and we start pulling behind him. >> what were you thinking? >> if he's giving up, i don't know if he's giving up like he's going to surrender or giving up like he knows this is the end of the road and that he's not going to go peacefully. he was very much still a threat to everyone aroun
