mr. masoni think we have gone through -- i will say we have gone through a phase transition. there was a long time where really build into the way we were thinking about things was, change as little as possible. we have designs that have their origins in the era of testing, and anything that we do to introduce a change in how we manufacture, can introduce some sort of uncertainty that might cause us to question that basis. and i think we are over that now. we are over it for a couple reasons. first off, because of the things like modeling and simulation tools, we have a better ability to understand the consequences of a change in material or a change in the manufacturing approach, and actually convince ourselves that it is ok. i think the other thing is, and james owen mentioned this in his session this morning, it is not just a question of can we design things that are easy to manufacture? this, what do the new manufacturing technologies enable in terms of design possibilities that simple he c

in a fortnight, donald trump will once again be america's president, and mr musk will be working for him. chris mason a moment, but as well as the national inquiry into child sexual abuse, which included an investigation into grooming gangs, there have been other local inquiries, including in rotherham in south yorkshire, where at least 1,400 children were sexually exploited between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by men of pakistani heritage. in telford in shropshire, there were more than 1,000 girls abused by gangs of men over decades, and the evidence was ignored. and last year, 0ldham council called for a public inquiry into grooming, but was told to commission a local review instead, as in rotherham and telford. ed thomas has more from 0ldham. for decades, grooming gangs and the failures of those meant to protect children have shamed towns and 0ldham is no different. and i'm answering that directly because i want that... it's divided local politics. you haven't answered the question. apologies by the council and police have come and gone, and... for that i am truly sorry. but still, many here belie

mr. buckley is a professor at this khalil law school at george mason university. ahead, john. what is your question? caller: my question with scalia, was a person that really believed that, myself being american, black, he thought we would do better if, you know, we were in the schools we were traditionally in years and years ago. and everything. and he might have been right on something with that, because we give up a lot when we integrated schools. host: john, we are just about out of time for this segment. i understand you are talking about justice scalia's position on integration in public schools, but did you have a question specifically for mr. buckley today? caller: yes. i would like his opinion on that. host: ok. guest: on segregated schools? i'm against it. host: let's go to roland in maryland on our line for democrats. good morning, roland. caller: thanks for taking my call. he said the conservative for the republicans associates, you know, [indiscernible] i got mine, you get yours, you know? it is all about, you know, elections, campaigns was all about gas prices, g

mason: thanks to each of you, mr karen, my wife studied at the university of tennessee. undergraduate fibers and textiles later worked for dupont for 30 some years in the same business. and then, but as a professor at the university of delaware, the courses that relate to this as well, she's going to interest. i don't know how many people like tune in and look at the reruns of our hearings, but she's going to be tuning in tonight and sends her best. sen. merkley: thank you, senator carper. senator mullin? senator mullin: make me nervous and my wife is gonna watch my hearings. uh she would, she would scold me and correct me all the time. i love her though, deeply. so, for watching, i've been the best 26 years of my life, babe. um so, i had to put that out there. wow, i got myself in trouble. so, uh anyways, thank you guys for being here. uh i'm sorry, i came in a little late and i had an opening statement to thank you guys for taking the time, a time out of your busy schedule to inform congress. i think we can all say that, uh you know, the desirable outcome is not to hav

mason: i just support what she said. sen. whitehouse: she covered it. mr. alspach: i'm not as familiar with this as dr. brander is. sen. whitehouse: one last thing which is that unilever is quite a big company that we've worked with for a long time and they have come up with a proposal that kicks in this coming year to remove from the ecosystem a pound of plastic for every pound of plastic that goes out into the world, which among other things creates a market for that plastic to go to the places , to your point dr. brander, where this stuff is piling up so that the knee-high lines of plastic along shores, you have to push your boat out through floating seas of plastic to get out to clearwater. clear water. suddenly, it makes a lot more sense to clear that up, even if it is not being properly and fully recycled, at least it is out of those people's immediate experience and to put money behind that to be able to buy that and to make good on your pledge seems like sort of the corporate frontline on this, and i hope american companies take the lead to match --

mason. it'll be the fastest to 100 miles an hour. the world's richest man, elon musk, the billionaire entrepreneur. rockets, electric cars, tesla and he owns the social media site x, too. mrh a growing drive for politics and a growing habit of claiming the british government, the prime minister is incompetent. he accused keir starmer of being complicit in the rape of britain and that he should go. he called the home office ministerjess phillips a rape genocide apologist, and today he conducted a survey on x about whether the people of america should liberate the people of britain from their tyrannical government. now listen to the prime minister's indignance, his anger in defending his record as director of public prosecutions. he says he challenged those who ignored the victims. when i was chief prosecutor for five years, i tackled that head—on. and when i left office, we had the highest number of child sexual abuse cases being prosecuted on record. and now, he says... so this government will get on with the job of protecting victims, but what i won't tolerate is this discussion and debate based on lies without calling it out. what i won't tolerate is politicians jumping

mr. alspach, you mentioned developing systems for measuring the amount of micro nanoplastics. and that seems critical to our understanding here of how particles are shed and how much gets into us, dr. brander and dr. mason are, is it just in the last couple of years where we've really had the tools to start to understand this shedding process and the amount that's getting into our human bodies? >> i really think that it is just over the past couple of years that we've started to better understand human exposure and human occurrence. and in part, that's because the technologies to measure nanoplastics are slowly coming online, things like pyrolysis gcms, which is a fancy way of saying you're pyrolizing a sample and measuring the mass of particles that might be in there. so yes, it is, it is a new area of study. and i think we're also just starting to understand how easily those particles can trans locate and move within within our bodies as well. >> should we quit putting plastic pacifiers in our babie'' mouths? >> probably yes. >> ok. on that, senator sullivan has worked really hard on environmental ocean issues. as as another ocean state senator, you see a dominance of ocean state senators raising issu

mason university. we're talking about the threat isis poses to the united states. we are taking your bipartisan to unanimous consent to dispense with the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. britt: thank you. on january 10, 2002, laken riley was born into this world to her loving family. tomorrow would have been her 23rd birthday. she should have celebrating with her family, blowing out candles on a birthday cake and filling her loved ones' lives with the joy she spread so effortlessly. but instead of spending another year around the sun with friends and family, instead of figuring out what her next steps in life would be -- which had limitless potential -- instead of achieving her dreams of becoming a nurse, tomorrow we will mark the first day she isn't here with us on this side of heaven. nobody knew laken and the light she shined on all those around her like her family, so i'd like to read a statement from allison and john phillips, laken's mother and stepfather. it's impossible to fully describe what was taken from laken and from our family on february 22, 2024. laken's life was abundantly and exceptionally full of promise. she was beautiful, shining beacon in the li
