mr. collins' input of 2% will be 1.5%. i fell short. i'll submit the rest of my comments in write. >> t >> we also have a speaker card for henry jepsen. >> fantastic. thank you. i represent an interest group that's been consulted on this project here. we're an independent n nonforprofit based in new york and look to enable an orderly transition to a low-carbon economy. we were found on the premise of we can't burn it all. we developed the idea of stranded assets in 2011 because of the disconnect between allowable emissions according to climate scientists an what's available according to emissions in the ground and around the world. we're working with investors because we think investors play an important role to be active both to persistent use of and some of the trends and and we see prices go down and that means it will be likely bad investment but it had to be an orderly transition. we all know what happened in the financial crisis. it was a disorderly mess that came from that. what we are encouraging investors like yourself is to po

mr. collins for meeting with a few of us yesterday. i think you made an excellent hire and i appreciate the emphasis on using open source and publicly available data. it makes it something that could be of use to cities and pension funds across the world. and you should be proud of what you accomplished and the level of carbon-restricted funds is admirable. we finally have the answers that commissioner has asked about the riskiest fossil fuels. only having a few days to digest it looks like a rigorous and data-driven approach to identifying the worse of the worse and riskiest to the riskiest. how conservative do you want to be about climate change? every new report shows climate change is happening faster and faster and the likelihood of an orderly transition seems less and less likely and the potential for a carbon bubble to pop and have large losses from stranded assets seems greater and greater. i would encourage you to have a more conservative approach and divesting from seven companies of the holdings still leaves us with a lot of

mrs. collins pre-k class spend a little time each morning welcoming each other.dan, the designated greeter for the day. the classmates can get a hand shape, a fist bump, a hug or simply a smile. it's a very simple morning ritual, and it fosters kindness, and it starts the day just right that is something that all of us could use every single day. >> i love that the little hug there. >>> well, still to come, a community outraged after a white woman calls police saying she was groped by a 9-year-old black child. a migraine hope to be there... for the good. and not so good. for the mundane. the awe-inspiring. the heart racing. the heart breaking. that's what life is all about... showing up. unless migraine steals your chance to say "i am here." that's why, we created aimovig.. a preventive treatment for migraine in adults. one dose, once a month. aimovig is proven to reduce the number of monthly migraine days. for some, that number can be cut in half or more. the most common side effects are pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site and constipation. these ar

mrs. collins, facing intimidation and physical threats. joining me as chief counsel, policy director at the crisis center. i want to talk about that with susan collins, a local paper and mean saying brett kavanaugh should be voted down, she is getting pressure there but interesting from the obama administration, the former cia director john brennan decided to weigh in on judicial nomination saying doctor ford is a national treasure, jeff flake is an admirable man with a conscience. craven politician lindsey graham is not. brett kavanaugh's to permit and blatant partisanship are disqualifying. someone accusing the president without evidence of treason in john brennan saying there's blatant partisanship by brett kavanaugh. will this resonate, the idea that he was so angry at the hearing, he doesn't have, he was partisan they say it doesn't have temperament to be a justice? >> constantly changing their story. they said allegations were falling apart, the fbi investigation, they are getting it and trying to find something else to complain about

mr. collins. next speaker, please. >> my name is mary mcgwire. i ask you reject these recommendations.first of all the report you paid 1 quarter million dollars. he failed to mention, the elephant in the room, it could jeopardize his future earnings. i also find it interesting the representative from s.f.o. is unable to supply data with congestion due to t.n.c.s versus taxis. limiting the access to s.f.o. and removing cabs from the street doesn't restore dignity and respect to anyone it punishes drivers and the public for your mistakes. the public who will not have cab service and the october 12th year from the credit union. the 45,000 members who live, work, go to school and worship in the city of san francisco. 45,000. citizens who will be financially harmed if you vote to approve this. their life savings, their pensions. do you really want to do that? do you want to harm more people than you already have? credit union has asked that you fairly and responsibly unwind this program. that you admit your mistakes. be adults. please, take steps to do that before more people get hurt. >> n

mrs. collins. >> ana, how do you feel about that more likely than not. some could articulate that as no pun intended as a 51/49 proposition. i know those are the numbers of the membership in the senate but that if you get over that threshold, that's all collins was looking for and that wasn't met here. what do you think? >> i think senator collins is missing the point. this was a tremendous opportunity for her and for other people in power to say this is a moment that requires a different kind of leadership. the experience of sexual assault is both -- it's very personal but it's a collect i have ive experience. that's why all of us were saying look at us, look at me. and by looking at me see all of us as the country and do something which you have within your power today to signal to the country that you will help change the culture that doesn't believe us, that forces us to provide all the evidence, that starts out by assuming that our stories are not real and that fundamentally fails to understand the nature of sexual violence and the nature of trauma

out with a decisive statement and said she will vote against mr cavanaugh so the question is and the wiggle room here is with susan collins who is speaking right now and who will decide if she goes with or against mr given all and last but not least joe mentioned democratic senator who voted in the last vote today to get the vote out to the senate floor tomorrow for that to happen so that's the democrats senator democratic senator from west virginia and he is kind of skipping the line of the democrats in sitting probably are siding with republicans at least it looks like this right who knew pumpkins could be so interesting exciting stephens even in washington thank you. well the capitol controversy has become a flashpoint in the me too movement against sexual harassment by men in power it's been a year since the movement took off spot by explosive allegations against hollywood producer harvey weinstein a year on me too remains a powerful force on social media social media editor john had read hostile welcome let's take a look back at them how did mean to say the made to social media movement that we know it began a year a

mr president. senator susan collins, republican of the main, she held out earlier today so the main, she held out earlierat she would wait before indicating which way she would vote. she was going to announce it and she just has. something of a masterclass in closing arguments there, but essentially saying that tomorrow, it is going to be a yes. just to remind you that it was 50 — 49. sorry, 51-49. if two you that it was 50 — 49. sorry, 51—19. if two outstanding senators had flipped and crossed over to that site, then itjudge kavanaugh would not have succeeded in his attempts to sit on the supreme court. so a yes from senator susan collins. we will find out what that means after 9pm here on bbc, news. in the meantime, let's go back to the other story. a criminal investigation is underway after hundreds of tonnes of medical waste, including body parts, were left to pile up at incineration sites in the uk. healthcare environmental services have the contract for disposing of much of the hospital waste from england and scotland. the government has been urged to explain why it did not tell parliament it had c

mr. collins performing tonight at oracle starting at 8. i'm toying with the idea

collins. >> thank you, mr. president. senator schumer: in a short time, the senate will take a vote on the nomination of brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. the road that led us here has been bitter, angry, and partisan. it has been deep with hypocrisy and hyperbole and outrage. from start to finish, president trump's nomination of brett kavanaugh to the united states supreme court has been one of the saddest moments in the history of the senate. when the history of the senate is written, this chapter will be a flashing red warning light of what to avoid. truly, judge kavanaugh's confirmation is a low moment for the senate, for the court, and for the country. the republican majority has conducted one of the least transparent, least fair, most biased processes in senate history. slanting the table from the very beginning to produce their desired result. why do i say this? because they withheld over 90% of the nominee's records from the senate and american people. because they refused to allow dr. ford to call a single co

. >> collins: thank you mr. ident. >> senator collins, please vote no. >> pelley: friday, protestors shouted for a "no" at the moment collins revealed her decision. >> collins: i will vote to confirm judge kavanaugh. i am comfortable with the decision that i made. i spent an enormous amount of time in the first part of the confirmation process studying the judge's 12-year record as a circuit court judge. i was satisfied at that point, started working on the speech, and then these devastating allegations are made that sends the whole thing into a tailspin. >> i believed he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. >> pelley: it was the testimony of dr. christine blasey ford that left republican collins with severe doubts. >> collins: i had read her anonymous letter, or her redacted letter, and questioned judge kavanaugh about it over the phone in a subsequent interview. >> pelley: when you talked to judge kavanaugh privately on the phone about the letter, what did he say? >> collins: he categorically and emp

wiggle room or who were people were not sure what direction he will vote so i am for mr cavanaugh and now susan collins does that joe manchin the last surprise democrats who's now leaving the fold and is going to go in to vote for mr cavanaugh so it's a slam dunk for the republicans and make no mistake this is a huge win for the president and for the white house right behind me for president trump because now he can go out on the campaign trail and say i told you so i'll bring my people through who i nominate and there you go you have it made protest outside the status of been chanting november is coming. yes you have a battle cry of the left or of the grooves active groups who are leaning towards democrats or to the left. make no mistake the key word here is women we're living in the times of the me too movement and there are many many many women who are specifically living in urban areas rich in populous those urban areas in america who are really really upset and very very unhappy with what happened here in the last few weeks and that the senate now is apparently deciding for mr brett kavanaugh so t
