produce see an opportunity as was evident at the world's largest organic trade fair which opened in a nuremberg germany on wednesday with representatives from more than a 100 countries including parts of africa kenya is among the turnover from organic products there rose nearly 10 percent to almost $12000000000.00 euros last year kenya's middle class is growing so more people can afford to spend more on what they eat. let's bring in our correspondent ordering barrow from nairobi joy how important is organic food really for the average kenyan. has the importance of the goetic food is highly dependent on the awareness of the consumer so there are consumers who are fully aware of the benefits of gannett food and then the those who would simply eat whatever comes to be a tivo and india those who generally have no idea what it is all about but. those who do consume the gannett food are aware that it is a life sentence choice and that they have to pay the price for it it's been a style of choice is this just a fad in big cities or is it a real important part of the food market across the

he's mainly planting the salmon easing organic fertiliser. he did make lopes the club into but he's already welsh. so we made a 3 hour flight give me the results. the engineer would like to sell its fertilizer internationally but it wouldn't sound as an organic product because nigeria has no organic certification system so the group is still facing challenges to friends itself. we all know that mustn't quantities of plastic waste and up in our cities luckily more and more people are coming forward with their own unique solutions to addressing the problem. you're very right near to these young passionate same as from germany and the netherlands felt worried about the plastic invasion and came up with a very innovative idea of intercepting the trash before it is washed away at sea and now this idea is being used in dom's what i always take a look. at all kinds of debris swimming in this canal in amsterdam ends up in this catchment cage. a crew from the water company rotter net comes by regularly to empty it every week about a 1000 kilograms of

so when we think about first designating them as a neo-nazi organization as a foreign terrorist organization, i don't know what the argument is. i need to have someone tell me why we wouldn't because in the end if that organization wishes american interests and american citizens and our allies ill, which is a big part of why we designate someone as a foreign terrorist organization, this seems to me that doesn't require a lot of debate. >> what you mentioned earlier that you could not have conducted the fight against isil without the fto designation, authority or power or without these organizations labeled as such. can you expand on that? >> let me say that it was quite helpful. i mean, i was doing lots of fighting against isis that didn't require ftos but what ftos would do is if they are nonamerican citizens and most of them are aliens, they can't travel freely. when we work through the department of justice, when we've designated an organization, we worked for the department of justice, when elements and i will particularly talk about the hakani network which was in eastern -- the fed rea

internal organizing meetings. the result is one of the richest labor movements to date. and with those ongoing strike waves and in recent writings the politically astute analysis of the recent manifestations of working-class organizing by following coverage and analysis i look forward to our discussions after the talk i invite you all to ask more how the struggles of public education are strategies throughout the united states. please join me to welcome eric blanc. [applause] >> how are you doing? great. this is and exciting topic. [laughter] so we need to raise the energy a little bit. and sometimes a new lift history under estimate of what you were witnessing is a big deal. so why it is a big deal the lessons we can draw and all of you for coming out and to talk about labor the basic argument i want to make is twofold to get you as excited as possible about the epic upsurge than the second part of the talk that i think activists, scholars and anybody who wants to see labor revived as a force can learn from those

just like business personal property, other organizations leasing the space from the city? no worry, the possessory unit will receive its own separate assessment and it's because of this the welfare exemption will not extend to the other users. >> so i'm going to start the next section of the presentation. we're going to talk you about how to apply for a welfare exemption. chair cohen did a great job of summarizing this process, but i want to take it through visually here on a slide so you can see that there are two agencies which work together, hand in hand to grant the welfare exemption. we start at the state level with the california state board of equalization. as chair cohen mentioned, what the state is very keen to understand is whether or not you as an organization are eligible to receive a welfare exemption. the way that you work with the state is by applying for what is called an organizational clearance certificate or in some cases a supplemental clearance certificate. so once you started your work with the state, you will also work with us here locally at the cou

, organize, organize, organize.hat being the secret of the success to the democratic party. he's saying that's also the key to the democrats winning in 2020. how do you assess the organizing of the democratic party right now. >> let's hope they're counting votes on saturday, and not into next week, i think that will give us some indication. if you look at the campaigns that harry reid ran, focused on the early vote. making sure you need to get them out. this is a great opportunity for the campaigns to hone their messages and their operations. because as we've talked about this increase in hispanic vote that is happening now that we haven't seen in two 90 plus white states, understand too, the biggest, the two biggest prizes on super tuesday, california and texas are going to have electorates in excess of 30% that are hispanic. understanding how to talk to, energize, activate and get those voters to the polls is a huge task, herculean for these candidates. and it's a great proving ground. as both harry reid emphasize

i am organized labor, i guess. but i have seen firsthand how employers have used intimidation and threats to punish and deter workers from the right to join a union, to seek safe -- safe conditions and work and fair wages and to have a voice in the workplace. this bill takes direct aim of the abusive employer practices by closing loopholes in existing law, establishing penalties for retaliation and ensuring that unions get their new contract. i urge all members to vote in favor of this act. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virginia reserves. and the gentlelady from north arolina is recognized. the gentlelady from north arolina is recognized. ms. foxx: i yield one minute to the gentleman from wisconsin. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mitchell: i'm going to address something that i assume has been addressed before but nevertheless all the versions of the bill that i find the most offensive. -- >> they are required to give the telephone number, the email and he address of ea

that encourages -- that is encouraged by the support of a myriad of fraternal organizations across all those ethnicities, religions and language. we embrace our diversity in new york city, we embrace our diversity as the nypd. we expend significant resources to ensure those who commit crimes motivated by hate are apprehended and brought to justice. the numbers bear that out. last year hate crime apprehensions increased by 38%. criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, robbery, assault, grand larceny, murder and attempted murder. this is the job of every member of the new york city police department but the folkle point of our efforts is the detective borough's hate crimes task force. its personnel, our detectives and state troopers who are trained to identify and investigate hate crime, it's the largest such municipal unit in any police department in the country. now the nypd, of course, saw the disteshing upward trend of violent bias crimes sweeping across the country and moved very early on. between the time of september and december, we moved to form the racially and ethni

the land belongs to the organic farmer had includes and he's been building up humus or the organic component of the soil for 30 years now he regularly has his soil tested today by agrarian engineer son your dream on the dock consistent color and the presence of worms in the soil are good signs. not asses all my stuff the 1st test you do is to just smell the soil to see if it has a nice sweet earthy aroma. good important global hot doesn't or just that's our goal so that we have great organic harvests but the decisive factor is the soils ability to supply the nutrients at the exact moment that the plant needs that you know d.m. billick then we can have high organic crop yields come good soil can produce conventional size harvests. convent to know let's figure putting knutson tries out new methods 1st at his home and then he brings them out onto his 111 hectares of farmland. for example compost tea he mixes compost with water then lets the mixture sit for 24 hours after that he brings it out onto the field the mixture is simple to make and saves money just as the situation's always getting har

or extremist organizations. you can find a lot of this material without too much difficulty. and i would advise that that seems like the first screening mechanism that should be done, workplace would do the same with employee, right? this is the military. you can find a lot. it doesn't mean it's all there. >> all right, anyone else? doctor? >> thank you. i agree with what my colleague dr. beirich said. there is extremist material on the dark web but the dark webl is dark to extremists as well and easier for them to find other extremists and other extremist material on the regular internet. and unfortunately there are many places an many platforms online from large mainstream social media platforms and other tech platforms to more ab secure ones where he can do that. and a lot of this is actually accessible to people who want to investigate this or what to monitor this. if they're educated on where to look and what to look for. and so this is not necessarily an insurmountable problem, this is something that can b

but trusting organizers and mobilizing organizers. it takes money and resources to turn nonvoters into voters. give a big chunk of latinx communities that have been voting but there is a young population. it is a population that is a more working-class population. they take real resources to turn into voters and it takes multiple touches to do thahat. d they did that. amy: you have a kind of bucking of the leadership of the representsion, which thousands of service workers. i think senator sanders took something like seven of the eight casinos. we're talking about thousands and thousands of workers that the rank-and-file disagreed with the leadership -- who did not endorse anyone. it is not like they endorsed biden, for example, but they did say they were not for medicare for all because they provided a health care -- they provided health insurance themselves. >> there is a debate about what that means in terms of what could get lost in what could be gained. i think what they don't understand, and this is something sanders has been su

or terrorist organizations, with the yield back. >> mr. reed, ms. miller, we have worked together on a number of issues i have a high regard for you, but i'm really surprised of what i've heard today. whom was policy it says the active participation in gangs organization is prohibited so if it's prohibited and we have an air force servicemember who is actively fundraising for this despicable organization, why is he still in the military? >> ma'am we will have to refer you to the air force to gain more details on that specific case, to your point, yes the policy does say it prohibits active participation which includes fundraising, demonstrating rally, recruiting, training to distribute material, wearing gang colors into your point tattoos. or other branding. for so therefore, those are the type of indicators that need to be evaluated when determining whether there's been a violation of this policy which could therefore lead to certainly ministry of separation and other actions against the individual. as it pertains to that case and as he i

history and it strikes at a giant organization that is as american you could say is apple pie the boy scouts of america today the boy scouts with assets of almost $1500000000.00 filed for bankruptcy the organization faces at least $300.00 lawsuits from men who say that they were sexually abused as scales it has been 3 decades since the public 1st learned of far reaching allegations of sex abuse within the boy scouts of america i should say it has been several years since 2012 when those revelations came out later it was also revealed that the scouts kept records on volunteers who had been accused of sex crimes records going back to 1944 known as the perversion files of those files remain sealed at least for now here is how the boy scouts are informing parents and the world about today's bankruptcy filing the national organization of the boy scouts of america has filed for a chapter 11 financial restructuring you might be wondering what this means for scouting and why the b.s.a. is taking this step. the short answer is that scouting continues unit meetings and activities district and c

what about the world health organization?ious, too political, i say that not with a capital p but with a small p. general, the secretary general, mr ghebreyesus, is former health minister in ethiopia. it's not unusual for politicians to end up doing thisjob, and he's obviously got a medical background as well. i wonder if there's a danger that mitigates against a willingness to be potentially confrontational when it comes to the crunch. this is such a big issue that actually a bit of banging heads together might sometimes be necessary. the world health organization is a political organisation. it's an organisation made of member states, of 194 member states. so it is a political organisation. there's a technical response category within who, and that technical response capacity has been moving forward steadily since the beginning of the outbreak has been announced. in 2003, working at the world health organization, you lead the response to sars. is it of the same family as covid—i9 broadly? it's a similar sort of respiratory

and i think in light, not that i'm a great organizer, but in organizations i have been involved in there'stendency when things are moving slowly when there's not enough happening, for those internal sites to really bubble up and faster. along sometimes legitimate lines, sometimes very silly lines. that are restorative. [inaudible] so yeah, i think -- it's interesting to think about this in perspective of the sanders campaign. people going out and knocking doors for anything. but that's medicare for all, sanders, or whatever it is, really helps to disabuse you of a lot of things that can seem very important. when you are talking to 12 friends versus going out and talking to everyday people who have a different set of concerns. i think that -- i have found that helpful and shaped out of my own like psyche. but i think, yeah, like actually hitting doors is one of the best -- the best way of making phone calls, setting tax, arsenic antidote to the anger and internal anguish. >> i wanted to ask about the idea of municipal socialism. the kind of localism and communalism but i think has a lot of

in ukraine a nationalistic political organization. or people's movement emerged in 1989 due to this. they advocated for independence of ukraine from the u.s.s.r. and became an incubator for leaders of ukraine. in 19011 of them new book founded svoboda an openly radical nationalist party preaching the good old principles of bondage era. just to. please. her jew crane from the jews in russia ukraine for ukrainians and so on his statements got him 5th place in the simon visa center top 10 anti semitic world leader rankings of 2012. but also sadly attracted numerous follow ups. dimitri are founded another extreme right organization treason or trident in 1904. in april 2013 became an assistant to a member of parliament from the opposition party who died. later that same year he would become the leader of the most radical ukrainian nazi group the right sector. andriy paro be would soon appear leading a whole army of ultra nationalist warriors. and the torch marches would once again light up the streets of ukrainian cities. with. the world d

american women's suffrage organization. the league was formed under her guidance six months before the amendment passed. the league is also having its own 100th anniversary next year. there is a league in every state and approximately 700 cities and counties around the country. it has been spending nearly 100 years continuing the fight for full equality for all americans. we do that through education and advocacy. a few more words about the 2020 women's vote centennial initiative. we work to establish and connect people, networks all around the country, girl scout troops, universities, any organization interested in learning about our suffrage history and how they can be a part of the celebrations, which they may want to create themselves next year. in the d.c. area, these educational programs that we put on with other groups is the main thing we undertake. tonight, as deborah said, this particular evening is a part of the women and the vote symposia series. this is after the fourth we have done at the archives and we hope

the world health organization says the number of people suffering from cancer is likely to rise sharply in the coming years and warning is included in a report the organization has released for world cancer day most of the new cases will hit low and middle income countries but there's a bright side to more research better treatment and programs to prevent cancer could save at least $7000000.00 lives in the next decade cancer killed an estimated 9 point $6000000.00 people in $28.00 teams only heart disease causes more deaths the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer are lung cancer and breast cancer each responsible for just under 12 percent of all cases they're followed by colorectal cancer at around 10 percent smoking tobacco tops the list to prevent all caught preventable causes of cancer deaths it's followed by an unhealthy diet obesity and lack of exercise the w.h.o. warns that if current trends continue the world will see a 60 percent increase in cancer over the next 2 decades. well joining me for more on this is our science correspondent derrick williams morning terry so scien

are terrorist organizations. with that i yield back. >> thank you, mr. cisneros. mr. reis, ms. miller -- ms. miller, we worked together on a number of high issues. i have a high regard for you. i'm flummoxed by what i heard today. in this policy it says that any of these active participation in gangs or organizations is prohibited. so if it's prohibited and we have an air force service member who is actively fundraising for this despicable organization, why is he still in the military? >> ma'am, we'll have to refer you to the air force to gain more details on that specific case. to your point, yes, the policy does say it prohibits active participation which includes fundraising, demonstrating, rallying, recruiting, distributing material, wearing -- recruiting, leading members, distributing material, wearing gang colors and to your point tattoos or other brandings. so, therefore, those are the types of indicators that need to be evaluated when determining whether there was a violation of this policy which then cou

all the international organizations are getting around 500. 500. keep it down when jamie jordan all these organizations by a request for one thing whatever you are so we get their membership of the 110 it's a national organizations which i don't know how and honestly. because just american law i didn't go to some organizations and i swear to a law that. alliance or in alliance with america but anyhow. and. there was an agreement it's right that they're good. and obama on other things except these organizations in one hand say oh ok then. i can meet him for coming. and have a desk for example. they did national criminal. court for them to get there i can run. the i k s i get it is that the general of the not the next is against anyone. but we went in there and 5 you know here is we spent 5 years working on russia with the international. court. and we went. round and had we were. going and of those. after 5 years. now. that we've been about the cases came to us and we said these cases so the americans they're. asking. all the for me to prove my good

and centrists, the establishment of organized labor .oe biden obviously has some stronger connections to what you would consnsider too be the moderate factions of organized labor. he was endorsed by the firefighters and the ironworkers and by the ibew, more than 700,000 membersrs. and all of thesese unions have factions within them that are far more progressive probably than the union leadership. in the case of the ibew, what you saw was these bernie supporters within the unit put together a letter with a huge amount - -- 1300 names of union members -- and the point they made was not just say want the unit to endorsed bernie, which is not what they asked for. what they asked for was a vote of the members to the endorsement. that is the second issue, you need democracy. i think there's is a fair argument to be made that labor union making a political endorsement that is not based on a vote of the members is, to a certain extent, meaningless because it really just means the head of that labor union -- that is their preferred candidate. if

organizations under the heading of this organization. this would be the voter education project. and it sounds brilliant on paper. because what it is designed to do is to provide something that the civil rights workers want while apparently being boring enough, because you are just registering folks to vote. you have got this image. think about registering folks to vote. there is a table, there is some registration cards. if you think about it the way we do now -- not quite like now, but you just do it. but remember this is mississippi. remember we have the poll tax. we have the literacy test, we have the understanding clause. we have got election day terrorism. we have the power sitting there to infect reinforce massive -- in fact reinforce massive disenfranchisement. just registering folks to vote is not going to be that easy. but this is the name of the organization. the council of federated organizations. what he is going to do, and it is going to be tricky, he is going to try to bring sclc, the southern christian leadership conferen

my organization, my chronological organization am not quite sure because i use proprietary software iid for, i don't know how it works to donate that to an organization. i have always been happy to look things up for people if they want to know, is my relative mentioned here -- i can do that sort of thing. there are lots of stories. they deserve another book. the hungarian take theme u.s. will -- i do not think there's a lot out there about that. there's plenty in here. to lay a trail and hopefully something and it will reach someone and they can go into the notes and find something. that is the point. this is not the definitive book. this is the first book. it's pretty definitive. but it's also the first one. suggested that when when you compare the good the war refugee board accomplish to our roosevelt , the have accomplished feeling is the war refugee board to morgenthaler and the jewish community to get the jewish community off his back. how do respond to that? dr. erbelding: i would say that most of the jewish community was not on roosevelt's back. most of them were reliable demo

oftentimes organized around ethnic affiliation, whether polish or italian and these organizations would be able to gather funds to pay for the medical care of the elderly. if you didn't have access to a charity care hospital or mutual aid association, or if there wasn't some kind of state-based program, the elderly basically went without it. so, this was a particular pressing problem that president johnson saw in his time as a representative in texas. he saw elderly folks going into poverty, going into debt or withholding or forgoing medical care and he really saw that population as a centerpiece for health care reform. public health insurance reform. steve: you mentioned this a moment ago. the state of public hospitals especially in large cities like washington, new york, philadelphia, boston, miami. george: public hospitals were part of this transformation. if the hospital system did not have high-technology or efficacious medical care, it became more so by the mid-20th century, and this attracted municipalities to take on much more of a social welfare function in providing that care.

there are laws make it harder to organize and employees involved in organizing face barriers, including a one in five chance of getting fired. even when workers do form a union, employers refuse to bargain and more than half of the new unions don't get a collective bargaining agreement within a year. if you vote to form a union, you should have one and get a contract. if you're an employee, you shouldn't be misclassified as an independent contractor, and if an employer violates your labor rights, you shouldn't be let off the hook. i am proud to support workers' rights and i am proud to support the protecting the right to organize act. and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentlelady from north carolina. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. chair. i yield one minute to the gentleman from south carolina, mr. timons. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for a minute. mr. timmons: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in strong opposition to the p.r.o. act. our economy is booming, the unemployment rate is at a record low. the p.r.o. act would interfere wit
