west virginia had to deal with pfas kim and nation -- pfas contamination. the concept of polluter pays has had broad bipartisan support over the years. that is why i find it truly perplexing to hear that environmental groups are actively lobbying against protection for water systems and other passive receivers. with pfas contamination going back decades and regulatory efforts to protect our drinking water, which i support, there will be an increasing need to support -- to protect our water system that had no hand in creating these chemicals. as we look to preserve safety and affordability of drinking and wastewater systems for the future, and maximize the benefits of the iija's investment, protecting passive receivers is something congress must get right. i will close by saying everyone in attendance already knows water infrastructure investments are critical to public health, environment health and economic develop. the successes we have had today have been based in cooperative federalism and enshrined in the safe drinking water and clean water acts. commu

we now know the foam contained toxic man—made chemicals called pfas.cepans and clothes to food packaging, and are known as forever chemicals because they don't break down. they find their way into water sources across the world and most people have a small quantity of these in their blood. this was just the beginning of what's been a very long battle for islanders. these letters and reports and photos have been shared with me by local people and showjust how highly contentious this issue has been for decades. but what do these documents actually tell us? in 1985, when the foam was first discovered, the airport said they only used water at their training ground. in 1990, a sample confirmed the foam contained products including 3m's lightwater foam, used at the airport. in 1993, the airport took responsibility for the contamination. the airport provided bottled water and recommended for properties to switch to mains drinking water, but refused to pay for water rates until later. the jersey evening post asked: in the years that followed, a small research

and poor health but it is still not quite proving that pfas was the cause.tection agency says pfas can cause serious health problems like cancer, the european environmental health agency links pfas with high certainty to health issues including certain cancers and thyroid problems, the us environmental protection security imposed restrictions on drinking water, fire is still saying there was not enough research? there was an awful lot of overlap, i agree. there is increasing concern and we need to sort good research from the poor quality research. we aim to be as transparent as we possibly can. whatever is killing those cows is in the drinking water. forever chemicals have even caught the attention of hollywood. i defend chemical companies. well, now you can defend me. dark water sport pfas contamination to the global stage. 190 cows. tell me nothing is wrong here. based on the true story of a lawyer who took on chemical giant dupont when it contaminated a small town in west virginia with toxic chemicals and that lawyer, described as a whistle—blower on wate

four clean sheets, while aston villa's daly finished top scorer in the wsl last season and was named pfal face paris fc, who are currently winning their match, on saturday for a place in the second round, the stage before the groups. also wins for celtic and glasgow city but cardiff city and cliftonville lost. spanish footballerjenni hermoso has filed a legal complaint over the kiss by the president of spain's football federation, luis rubiales. hermoso was kissed on the lips by rubiales after spain's 1—0 win over england at the world cup final in sydney and has since said it was not consensual. rubiales denies that and has refused to resign, despite being provisionally suspended by football's world governing body fifa. the complaint means he could face criminal charges. cricket, and sri lanka have cruised to victory over england's women in the final t20 international in derby in the east midlands, with the series finishing 2—1 to the visitors. it was a pretty poor performance all around from england. danni wyatt out first ball of the match, which set the tone for a sub—par total of 116

silva's side away, that's six goals in the campaign already for the norwegian striker, this week named pfaear. the last of his goals from penalty spot. but the second of city's, scored by nathan ake, caused much anger for silva. who felt the goal shouldn't have stood, due to interference in the build up. it isa it is a huge mistake. just people that never play football and don't understand nothing about football, and you can see that player doesn't have influence in the goalkeeper decision. with the ball in the direction of the player the goalkeeperjust direction of the player the goalkeeper just dives. direction of the player the goalkeeperjust dives. if that player moves, the player when moves it is a moment for the goalkeeper because the ball goes in the position of that player. the player is a clear offside position it is clear outside, in any part of the world. so city top with that 100% record, but tottenham hot on ther heels. they also banged in 5. as they easily got past burnley at turf moor. heung—min son with a hat—trick of his own. they were given a scare early on, lyle foster p

the chemicals are known as pfa or forever chemicals because they don't break down. they persist in the environment. they're found in everything from household items to waterproof, apparel and cosmetics. it's 10 27 coming up next on the kron. 4 morning news. a visit from israe >> 10, 29 want to give you an update now on the breaking news which is in l l and kensington. these neighborhoods are asked to shelter in place because >> of a gas leak. and we're showing you this map of the affected area, which is south of highland boulevard, east of arlington avenue, west of grizzly peak boulevard and north of woodman avenue. this is the area that is affected by this shelter in place where they are asking you closure doors and windows, stay inside until further notice as they work on this gas leak. also some roads in the area, a shutdown. we don't have an eta on when they'll reopen. just to let you know, we are following that year on the kron. 4 morning news. we're also fine weather for you and watching things warm up a little by little nugget. all that hot today. but pretty

specifically talking about these chemicals, talking about things like pfas, we called these forever chemicalsthey can last persistently in the environment and in our bodies and associated to cancer. now when you look at the overall study the question is, how much of this chemical is too much? as you said we find it in many things that we use every day. nonstick cookware, waterproofing systems. we'll have to do more studies on what the relationship between harm to the players and the community and the environment around these fields. >> janai: it's bigger than players on the football field, we're talking about schools. on xhuty parks. aaron rodgers has surgery. hasn't ruled out returning later in the season. these recoveries can take long. >> incredibly long. when you're talking about the achilles tendon, it's an area that has limited blood supply, that's one of the reasons why it takes so long to heal. they're in a cast six to eight weeks after their surgery and some orthotic boot. followed with several months of therapy and rehabilitation. aaron rodgers is a professional player and he has tr

however, they've also highlighted significant challenges with pfas, for agrochemicals and pollution.as a result i recently introduced two bills aimed at helping airport successfully transition from old firefighting foam containing pfas to alternative products that will be much safer for our environment and first responders. now that there is a product officially listed on the qualified products list, i have a two-part question. what role will the department of transportation play in helping airport successfully transition to the new product? and what can congress do to help? >> thanks for the question, and this is a very important issue we hear about in so many communities. to answer the first part of your question the faa highly encourages airports to transition away from firefighting materials that contain pfas, to reduce the potential human health in a remote and packs the comfort that contamination. earlier this year in may the faa published the aircraft firefighting foam transition plan to ensure the orderly transition and to develop that come did a lot of work with critical sta

pfas's have been found at hundreds of military bases across the country including in my home state. of course there is the v.a. funding in this bill that is us just as essential. i'm someone who previously chaired the veterans' affairs committee. i specifically asked to be assigned to that committee as soon as is came to congress, and i'm really honored to have been the first woman ever to serve on that committee because, as the daughter of a world war ii veteran, i take our nation's commitment to care for our veterans personally. when my father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which forced him to stop working, his v.a. benefits were crucial to making sure he could get the care that he needed. so i know firsthand how essential v.a. care is for veterans and their families and am constantly meeting with veterans in my state about their experiences, too. lisk up to our obligation to -- living up to our obstacles to those who served is nonnegotiable for me. i know many of my colleagues feel the exact same way. that's especially true for my partner across the dais across the aisle.

it had all the earmark of the next groundwater pfas. you're telling me it wasn't that significant? did show some soil samples had lead concentrations above an epa screening level of 400 parts. but they were primarily covered with grass. well maintained grass provides coverage to prevent exposure. they said this is not where children gather and it's not a concern. >> wow. that was a long, long investigation that they did. >> it was, it was. without a doubt. >> is that much ado about nothing? >> i don't want to say that, jim, but i think there were some questions raised and continue to be some questions raised about the validity of some of the sampling that they did. >> that's amazing. here i thought he was going to do the 1-0 deal. >> i'm not doing that. >> you did this. >> i did this. i got some other things i can do too. you want an update on c-gen and pfizer? >> i happen to know that the bladder cancer's end points were met and that's a same drug they use with keytruda. >> the question on pfizer closing the deal, of course, is when are they going to be asserting compliance with t
