this incident is not helping in terms of looking of the actual infrastructure of the nca.amera was not working when the shooting happened. there is a lot that mta has to step back and take a look at the that they can continue to make the system as modern as possible. especially with technology expanding so rapidly, the have to keep up with the pace of technology. caroline: the camera footage taken at different subway stations, the accused rode later on in the day and we were able to apprehend him in east village earlier. i am interested in the people who are based around the world, what is it like, how comfortable are we getting on a mass transit system? we did not want to get on it anyway because of covid? >> now that frank james has been caught there is a little bit of relief. there is this a lingering thought in the back of people's a minds where it is like what is what will happen next? doing a when something else could happen? it could be a trend colliding with another train. there are so many safety components to writing the subways. a lot of people have the in the b

>> right 257 time breen and never in nca tournament which is hard to believe they almost played in 19 out but it is a titanic matchup with consequences for loser, and particularly for duke just given that this is coach kay final season perhaps final game. if lose this is game it is going to be hard to f live with this one, you have north carolina not suppose to the get leer so they're playing a little bit with house money, not so much for as of as they did going into final game at the stadium but there's more pressure on the blue devilnd to come through to win this game. >> it is a surprise you told me on radio -- to coach k9 think they made it back to final four -- what about playing the north carolina team without smith the legend now against first year of coach first pressure to not lose against davis? >> i don't know if it was so much hubert davis i think coach can look at this and say if i lose this game eve the same amount of national championships five as dean smith and roy wms combined. so i don't think it is so much hubert davis and losing to him and mike will still have a wi

as a football fan, do you have an opinion on the nca transfer portal and its impact on the overall games as player can see choose and transfer in ways never before. i'll give a short answer, things like the transfer portal and the name and likeness stuff for college sports, it's very hard to take a like ethical or moral stance against that. like it seems weird to say like players should not have the freedom to go the to the school they want, seems crazy to say that, but here's the other thing. why do we care about these things? why do we care about the players making money? why do we care about the players being able to have freedom of mobility? it's because there is a sense of could only college sport and see people like me who generally prefer college sport to see pro sport, are things we see in college football we can't see at the pro level and my fear is these things that are ethically proper to do are going to change that product, so it's a weird thing. it's like, we were kind of shifting our minds as consumers of sport to see this idea that we need to look at anning at reet the sam

the one last item i wanted to welcome bia nca newman. we will welcome here when she comes. >> any public comment be on president's remarks? >> i forgot to announce that there is public comment for members of the public in person and via web ex. we will take public comment from members in person first and then the comments by the members on web ex. our next item is item 4. director's report. 4a director's update. >> good morning. i would like to start with an operational update relating to covid. our staff are back in the office as of march seventh. i think as you know the masking requirement will no longer be in place this friday, march 18th. i would like to give a shout out to our staff who came into the office, our in person staff during the past two and a half months. they never said no. they always came in and did their work. my hat is off to them. thank you. i am -- i have an update on over-the-counter permitting. we released data this week showing that we are now issuing 60% over-the-counter permits within two days as opposed to fe

what strikes me are the really firm ponds from the lower enlisted ranks to the ncas to the junior officersup, instead of taking initiatives, you end up with two outcomes, one is a bunch of your guys get killed. the other solution is to pound it into the dust. that's the only safe answer. we all expected the russians i this i to not be as great as they build themselves. i and others that study aren't prepared for this level of staggering confidence we are seeing now. >> general hodges, you know, tom brings up such a great point that i'd love for you to underline right here. of course, again, mike and you and tom and i a little bit older than young willie and young mika, we grew up and our viewpoint was in popular culture shaped by the tragedy of vietnam and whether it was the movies we saw the documentaries we saw, you had these soldiers that were drafted and forced to fight in a war they didn't understand or believe in. well, over the past 20 years in the united states, yet we have not in iraq. we have not in afghanistan. we have not. you look in syria, our troops in syria, but time and ag

foremost priority, and any suggestion that safety has been compromised as false, and just make sure the ncand it would be taken on to charging, and that decision would come about. however, it didn't happen in that way, and it was a very long, drawn process. police and prosecutors took two years to charge the attacker, taking him to court in the summer of 2019. but existing backlogs meant no trial before the following april, and then the pandemic closed courts. the rapist was only convicted in late summer 2021. i think if i hadn't have gone forward and reported it, i would have been able to have brought my mental health round a lot quicker than extending the ordeal and having the additional impacts of a court system and just the lack of understanding of how people feel in that scenario, of building themselves up to be knocked back down again time and time again. national data and the bbc court by court analysis shows lisa's experience is not exceptional. sexual offence complaints take the longest time to get through the courts — a national average of 8.6 months in england and wales. but ther
