so intelsat privatized -- in 2000, congress passed an act to privatize any privatized shortly after and intelsat is now a private company, publicly traded. it has at its own interesting cycle. i would argue that that period of comsat's privacy, genuine private activity and the creative drive that it was able to do for satellite services and satellite technology was certainly enabled the public-private partnership. the exit from that where the market no longer seems to need it, with pretty messy. there are a bunch of differences from a public-private partnership but i would say, the three lessons learned was that there was a clear purpose for both parties and clear rules, but that no longer fit the marketplace at some point, and holding onto that special relationships and the benefits it accrued ended up being a market distortion at some point. monitoring for the validity of those benefits is probably a a good rule of tumb. and figuring out what you would do, what the market looks like when the time has passed. so, that is my observation from the world that i saw. moderator: thank you ve

this shows you on the left private equity shows the this within private equity. these companies are the largest users of performing private credit, and we think that there will continue to be a lot of demand that will meet the supply that's coming into the market given how much this asset class is growing. the next few slides really speak to a little bit more on the liquid markets and the secondary market and default rates. i will try to blow through this fairly quickly. top right we're looking at the leverage or bank loan market. you can see spreads spiked higher in 2022 and flat lined for a while, lower left we're looking at pricing. the blue line on the lower left is yield and fix rate market so you can see that pricing was hurt more than the floating rate orange lines and leveraged loans and just in terms of in term volumes but what is down is a portion of financing them future is the debt capital markets. they picked up recently but private cred sit taking share. next slide. this really talks to direct lending and i will spend a few seconds on this and the h

area where the private sector is most involved.e carried out in five hospitals but funded by the nhs muscle people don't have to pay for them but provided free through the nhs but take place in private hospitals. so, that's an area where there is private provision and this is potentially a move to provide more care through the private sector in diagnostic tests, things like mri, ct scans, x—rays. that is what's new about today's announcement. ct scans, x-rays. that is what's new about today's announcement. briefly, peter, is about today's announcement. briefly, peter. is there _ about today's announcement. briefly, peter, is there in _ about today's announcement. briefly, peter, is there in we _ about today's announcement. briefly, peter, is there in we need _ about today's announcement. briefly, peter, is there in we need to - about today's announcement. briefly, peter, is there in we need to be i peter, is there in we need to be worried about or cautious here? i think some of the problems we are seen at the moment are not going t

the private sector . you can't do this with a concession from the public sector to the private sector. issues related to the institution so that i can follow up on the issues, thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you, ghazanfarabadi, the government, the government, the commission, i have no opinion, those present, 208, the start of voting, the additional proposal for pejmanfar aspects for windows , the end of voting was approved, article 21. finance based on basic assets approved by the supreme council of stock exchange and securities, including project funds and energy saving certificates, including the value added tax law approved in 23,1400 are exempted. the text below is based on article 10 of the value added tax law. interview 23 1400 adding a note to the title of note 4 is added to it, the sale of all goods in the form of a certificate of deposit of goods in commodity exchanges. note 4, if the goods subject to paragraph 4 are subject to sales taxes and duties , the recipient of the goods

large-scale privatization now held 400 auctions received 3.8 billion hryvnias from privatization there e-e directions that i managed over the last year is 13 billion economic effect this is losses and arrears rent e and paid salaries and so on, but for us it was a huge challenge to do an audit. and we did an audit. i saw that 90 plus percent of all assets were almost non-working and sent to bankruptcy liquidation, and everything that could be sold and offered to new investors we uh put on transparent auctions and got very good results, well, now we can see in the auctions hotels and some small warehouses there. and when it comes to large-scale privatization of mining and processing plants, well , what can you get billions from now? mobility is almost somewhere around 70%, we have e-e ports , infrastructure e-e we have hotels that we have already sold a large privatization by the end of the year , we are currently conducting a financial audit, a legal audit, a forensic audit, or some criminal assets and we want to offer to sell the energy center of the united mining and chemical company

the rival government of the private sector is the same. of the issues that the government is seriously pursuing is the proper implementation of article 44. unfortunately, there were some problems in the handovers. gives the first do it. the most complicated issues that i will say later are all governance like security. you have seen that sometimes the security of the neighborhood is the main focus of the people themselves, which is sometimes difficult to hand over. not a few years ago, in many social issues, such as the departments related to the collection of drug addicts, it has an effect. of this type, i only knew this from that government, the government and the private sector are involved, they make themselves known , the middle circles come forward and help, and the definite policy is that with me, as much as the private sector can take the burdens left on the ground, it will help progress . we support the country's government and education the need to provide a housing construction plan has been one of the issues that have always be

third is that there are more public to privates. what slows down is private to privates. on the credit side, i'm not as concerned about the lending standards. ultimately, we've been talking about thanks and financials for a long time. they are in a little bit of a pincher. svb, pullback there. second is that a lot of them have access real estate exposure that they need to work through. the third is basil three. all these other restrictions, we are talking about them holding more capital. that is not my view, as someone who is been watching markets for a long time. i think the banks are actually well-capitalized. to me, i think we are in a good spot. but that is creating alternatives to traditional lending. i think the terms are pretty attractive. the other thing i would close with is that i don't think it is an either/or. i want to evaluate both solutions, public and private, and i'm trying to have certainty. this is a market of uncertainty. if you can provide somebody with visibility around lending, that's what we try to do across our capital markets business. that's a v

it was found that the kind of private service from the state privates states isn't to like blake, what they are in the image. united states was it was a parade up in that rock during the war. so they were able to those things which states agencies the state structure, so i'm not able to do, i'm not allowed to do. so. it was a very important difference point between wagner on precautions. business on state findings by state state sponsored, but not the officer and being part of the russian state. and now being transformed to the part of the rest of the state, the army states army trust sector on structure of social security services. but the national nation, notified the state on up, so we'll see how good or how well it will be this transform ation of the work and how the whole business of bring was 12. a break is a very good thing because next year we have a residential presidential election in the united states or us and we will be willing to help someone to bring the selection again. and it's a crucial point as well, because it's extremely important for us and operation in the okay,

sergei: i think that this private group, this military private group -- [indiscernible] without suchn best session -- [indiscernible] i would say new private groups which possibly will be used by the russian government will be under more democratic control. more responsible people. sami: so you expect the growth of new private military groups? sergei: we don't know. this is not decided yet. what is decided is a new private military group -- it's the hope they continue and hopefully be used. at the same time, a new decision about new groups have not been made yet. to exist, to abolish this, to create something new in such conditions i think no one would come to the president with that idea. so it means -- now the problem is something about 5% of wagner group in africa, 5% -- but 90% stay in russia. what to do with them? about 45,000 people. they are extremely professional. so how they should be organized? either they should be kept altogether with their identity, or they should be divided to just another military unit. it's still in the process, and we don't see any evidence -- sami:

we tried private school.can get done in a few hours what kids can get done in twice the time and move at the pace he's at. he starting second grade but is doing basic multiplication and even tried some basic long division. he would be bored to tears in public school since they have to teach to the lowest common denominator. that is some of the ways you can post your thoughts on these types of schooling. that is a usa today story on school choice. they look at various types of education. at the same time school choice advocates are capitalizing on parents dissatisfaction with public schools to create alternatives to traditional education, some of that the satisfaction spawned during remote teaching at the start of the pandemic. several states passed legislation that entitles every child's family to use public funds for any option. in oklahoma, legislators passed a bill granting allstate school -- all students state school options. parents can receive a $7,500 tax credit. parents who homeschool their children c

it's taking a while for those to be reflected in in private, private the private valuations in our inenchmarks and in in the manager of portfolios. so we'll see the impact of those valuation declines. you know, continue to be impacted over the next few quarters. i'd say that conversely, it's a tough market for to be an asset owner that will create what we think will be a pretty good vintage year for real estate in 2024. and 2025. and again, i think while there will be certainly will be distress in certain sectors, areas like industrial and residential areas that the plan has been active and will likely continue to be active. you'll certainly see some distress there. but we're not expecting widespread distress

marketplace through private competition.t's 17 year delay. and if you remember the recent debate we had over adding, you know, progressive wanted to add dental vision and hearing to traditional medicare. well, where did that come from? that came private market competition, a marketplace where those are already available. so i think that one of the things that this shows is that for the future of medicare for beneficial is actually private market competition, something that will benefit them. right. let me ask you this. what do you think is the source of this intense opposition to, this movement mean? i'd like to ask all three of you this the idea of transforming medicare into competitive market. what what what is the real guts what is the real guts of this position? >> it comes from the idea that self-interest is a bad thing in healthcare. and have you ever heard bernie sanders say there should be no profit motive anywhere in healthcare he really believes it. and he's not the only one. i think that's the biggest problem. the

it's taking a while for those to be reflected in in private, private the private valuations in our inenchmarks and in in the manager of portfolios. so we'll see the impact of those valuation declines. you know, continue to be impacted over the next few quarters. i'd say that conversely, it's a tough market for to be an asset owner that will create what we think will be a pretty good vintage year for real estate in 2024. and 2025. and again, i think while there will be certainly will be distress in certain sectors, areas like industrial and residential areas that the plan has been active and will likely continue to be active. you'll certainly see some distress there. but we're not expecting widespread distress. i would describe it as maybe, you know, more likely opportunities to get exposure to asset classes, properties at a at a more attractive valuation, a better yields and an underwriting that doesn't require especially heroic assumptions to get to the target returns perhaps you know transitioning to the infrastructure sector where i'd say the story is a little bit more positive as

it can't be more private. earlier today. _ good buy. it can't be more private.oday, the _ good buy. it can't be more private. earlier today, the media _ good buy. it can't be more private. | earlier today, the media descended on st petersburg, trying to find out where exactly yevgeny prigozhin was going to be buried. there was tighten security at several cemeteries in st petersburg, and the announcement that she had been buried came from a number of social media accounts linked to wagner. it came a little more than an hour and a half ago. the media in russia are now trying to find out what happens to the wagner group next because the russian authorities, the russian defence ministry, it wants the mercenary group to be incorporated into the official military in russia. but one fare that the kremlin likely has is that yevgeny prigozhin�*s grave may be turned into a shrine of sorts for people who agree with sharp and often rude criticisms voiced by yevgeny prigozhin of the russian top military commanders. he accused them of not pursuing the war against ukraine aggr

— and a week compare in terms of private provision? many times in olitical private provision?discussions about the health care systems around the world and i was in the netherlands when this was happening and more crowds have been providing health care services and the question is do to admit is that if we go that way, senses and improved outcomes, who provides the services is of less importance for quality and population health. left importance for quality and population health.- importance for quality and population health. importance for quality and --oulation health. ., ., population health. left to leave it there and thank— population health. left to leave it there and thank you _ population health. left to leave it there and thank you very - population health. left to leave it there and thank you very much i population health. left to leave it| there and thank you very much for coming on. thank you. niger's newly—installed military government has promised an immediate response to any aggression or interference by its west african neighbours. the regional bloc ecowas says

that is to send somebody that petition because neither of these private companies privately that the companies have such a hurry. so could as much figure on, on the, on the subject as my to take to go with such a political ambitions because acute precautions developed quite strong political methods. and there isn't weeks and months even before the 4th before this whole, think 2 months ago. so, um, really to no one knows that political message saying, yeah, some of the russian citizens who have been congregating around in from 2 memorials that have sprung up in moscow near the kremlin, but also elsewhere seem to feel, seem to still embrace precautions view that russia is not on the right track in ukraine and whether they are anti war or somehow pre, goshen, hardliners. they seem to be quite dissatisfied how, what do you know about public opinion? very little. i think that's also a logical solve is, i'm barely reliable. and actually, i'm a bit confused about the public reaction to, to you, staff, because of the i've read a lot of reports, i've done sort political field studies done exa

so you have private equity funds moving in like welch's. we're investing in land. so i'm afraid president zaleski, you have to look at our reports and the data that we have secured, which beauty demonstrates who owns the land, is predominantly the on the golf and ukraine. as well as the west and financial interests predominantly north american and european. obviously they old and i wrong doing and we're not an advocate for those funds. and in a case, i presume is a bad betsy. if i may do it, eventually it meets defeat in, in this war. um, do you ever think that a your, the defect or by mistake advising people to invest in these profiteering agribusiness firms as you explain what you appear to be saying is deep corruption involved in this war as regards food from nato countries? i think everyone can say that the water is corrupt, as you said, if it wasn't so tragic, if it wasn't above the destruction of lives, that b a c, it would be funny and laughable as to how it's a chess game that's played. but the reality is, the tragedy. the tragedy of lives being lost, child

you can get it in the private market. you get a three medicare advantage plan. >> john, in 2003 republicans in congress enacted the medicare modernization act, which created here -- a system of competing private plans as unaltered of to traditional medicare. two years later, congress, with the support of president obama enacted the affordable care act. called obamacare. obamacare created a system of private planned competition, and state based health care traditions. on paper, they look similar. they seem similar. you make the argument that fact they're different, and medicare advantage works much better than health insurance exchanges. can you explain why that is true? >> they're very similar on paper. and very different in practice. and that's why 50% of seniors are in medicare advantage plan. and over in obamacare exchanges the non-subsidize part of that market -- it was going away. because no one was buying until congress came along and added subsidies, even for people making a lot a year. medicare advantage is the on

i've talked about the private sector in terms of what the private sector can bring. but let's talk about public information, right? i think a brilliant decision by the president, director of national intelligence, how do we take our most sensitive information and share it with our allies? and share it with the public? what does it do? at the end of the day, i think it does three things. it builds coalition for us. secondly, it disrupts adversaries. russia has never been the same since the fall of 2021, when we called out what they were doing. the final thing it does is it enables a partner. everything the day, work is being done to provide information to ukraine. this is tremendously powerful. even our national security strategy talks about this idea of inheriting national strength with the intelligence committee. we think about it different for a how do we take the information and intelligence we produce? and protect the sources and methods? and then be able to utilize that and share it. if you can have an ability to garner this information, a lot of the things we d

we have been doing that in private health insurance for forever. we do it in huge federal employee health benefits programs and we are doing it with medicare advantage. you however john want to change that. you want to have a situation where people can make a decision to enroll in a different plan when they think they should enroll in a different plan. imagine some of her friends in the insurance company would be very nervous about this. and i would like to hear your argument. i think other people are listening to this program especially on youtube and they'd like to hear why you think there ought to be a continuous open enrollment. >> not continuous. close to it. we have a strange asymmetry here. if you are chronically ill whether you are an obamacare exchange or medicare advantage you look at the networks of different plans and you can choose from among them and you will choose plans based on what doctors are in that plan. basically after you've made your choice you are stuck for the next 12 months. the insurance company on the other hand after y

so it has been kept very - quiet, very private, and as you say, thatis quiet, very private, and as youat sort of response has there been a few days on, really, to what happened to yevgeny prigozhin in russia? it really, to what happened to yevgeny prigozhin in russia?— prigozhin in russia? it has been almost a week— prigozhin in russia? it has been almost a week since _ prigozhin in russia? it has been almost a week since the - prigozhin in russia? it has been almost a week since the plane l almost a week since the plane crashed that killed yevgeny prigozhin. and across russia, we have seen several spontaneous memorials to which russians have started bringing flowers to pay their respects to wagner and yevgeny prigozhin. and the big question now is what happens to his wagner group? the kremlin and the defence ministry in russia, they want this military company to be amalgamated into the official army, company to be amalgamated into the officialarmy, if company to be amalgamated into the official army, if you like, which is something yevgeny prigozhin opposed, something yevgeny prigozhi

we raise the money in the private sector to do that. gov.eynolds: we are going to do the fast three and then we are going to give you the final question and then let you interact with some of the iowans . give me a funny moment on the campaign trail. mayor suarez: i did not realize what an advantage it was not to have a private plane. i was that an event and i saw them leave with this nice bus with the pictures on it. they left the event and i realized they were going to be home that night. it is interesting how this process plays out. gov. reynolds: if you have been having any food at the fair, what has been your favorite? mayor suarez: i am looking forward to having the corndog. i will work out later tonight. gov. reynolds: what is your favorite walkout song? mayor suarez: my part of town. it is a good one. or where the streets have no name. final question. iowans tell me they are looking for a leader that will stand up for the american people and our freedom, who have the moral conviction to do the right thing when it is not easy, that ha

i think there is a real race against private equity firms to get outside of private capital and try to consumers. you see them trying to make that twist to twist their brand a little bit to become better for value investors and individual investors. especially as the fundraising environment has been tough across the board, now they have to go back out and find new lps and new investors. we are in a race against private equity firms. i think now, you are seeing private equity firms across the board go out and brand themselves. they are tweeting more, they are more active when it comes to engaging with the press. across the board, you see a lot of people trying to rebrand the firm. jon: let us talk about josh harris shifting into the arena of the nfl. kamaron: sure. he recently purchased the washington commanders for $6.7 billion, one of the most expensive sports teams. we just released a quasi-deep dive into how the deal came to be, this is probably one of the biggest investor groups the nfl has ever allowed to own a team. i think this is the second act for josh harris. often, there was

eliza: we see that mirrored in the private sector.eople are recognizing especially post-covid recognizing mental health is real, trauma is real, and we want our employees to be healthy to promote well-being here, and so, we get to do that in a very practical way. eliza: i appreciate the level of support and insights that survivor alliance provides, that technical expertise to work through those components. and i think that represents the spectrum. we are talking about this distinction between survivor engagement and empowerment, and i think it would be helpful to revisit that because we use those terms especially those of us into space every day we use those terms sort of like they flow out of our mouths and for those who are either new to the space or thinking about how to evolve from one stage to another, can we talk about that spectrum and get more detailed about it? some examples. do you want to take this, survivor-informed, survivor-led commit less diving on that spectrum. abbe: i can talk about a few examples in terms of how we

how do we look at the private sector differently and leverage this idea of, hey, at the private sector an incredible amount of power, how do that? and the partnerships that form not only between agency and command, but agency command and fbi and with cisa and the private sector, that is all in 2018. that is an important piece for me. it is really the jumping point of -- jumping off point over rule. glenn: you said elections were mostly, not totally, focused on the russians because of their interference in 2016. but on the cybersecurity site, apart from the elections there were and continue to be a very serious threat in the cybersecurity world. i wonder how you think about that now. my sense is that many people feel we sort of got caught flat-footed with the solar winds intrusion, apparently by the russian fsb. it took months for that to be detected. we have seen in the interim, a wave of ransomware attacks evidently emanating from eastern europe and russia. some of that continues to this day. how do you think about ways we need to counter the russian cyber malicious activity, apart fr

aviation claims that on board this plane was the leader of the private military company wagner yevgeny prigozhyn, it is said that one of the commanders of the private military company wagner utkin, who was close to him, was also on this plane, at the time when this story was actually unfolding in the sky of the russian federation, in another part of russia, putin was in kursk, and he spoke to the participants of the celebrations dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the battle of kursk. what happened in kursk after the putin's ride, or putin was apparently informed that prigozhin had died and he flew from kursk, as reported by the russian mass media. on valdai, what happened in kursk , how was the death celebrated there ? well, as they say, we have three accordions broken because of the news that prigozhin and utkin were killed, information is received that the military leadership of the wagner pvk is currently holding an urgent meeting and they want to make a statement regarding the events that took place in the sky between moscow and st. petersburg so far i say again that for now we a

on the investment side, we partner with over 300 private funds. that's a lot of large and small asset management firms that have investors working with entrepreneurs, helping them get access to funding and to networks, so there are all sorts of relationships we need to grow and also our partnership with agencies we were -- we work with in the innovation program. delighted and looking forward to the opportunities and incredible stories that i anticipate we will see coming out of our recently-formed partnership -- or i should say growing our partnership with the defense department, our relationship with the office of capital. not only will be working on sbi opportunities together but now we are going to be alighting on investment programs, the sbic program, to create opportunities for private -- private funds to work with sba and get capital from it and provide support to the departments to help them get access to subject matter experts on these technologies that are critical to our national security to support american investment in technology such

the private sector should be handed over to the private sector, the privatization of car manufacturers has 60,000 tomans and over the past years, the loans and shares of these two companies have been pledged as collateral. 1401, the minister of economy, from the one-month deadline for the transfer of shares of car makers, said in azad 1401, the release of collateral shares in a week. the future there is no provision of collateral shares of car manufacturers with other shares of the government to them at the stage of immediate handover. now the government spokesperson says that the government's actions regarding these handovers are very advanced, that is, the stages of expert evaluation , pricing, identification of buyers who are qualified, because we know at the same time, we want the automobile industry to be handed over in such a way that tomorrow the bitter private memories of article 44 will be repeated for us. haft tepeh will be repeated for us. the industry will be completely destroyed tomorrow. i want a child . i want to go to islam. broadcasting in the name of god, salam, good

in private road transportation, 500,000 people went to the walking ceremony last year 275,000 people went to the western borders of arbaeen with private cars, 3800,000 arbaeen traffic , one million and 130,000 of these beloved pilgrims will have to travel by road during the round trip. personal vehicle considering that there are many passengers and crowds during arbaeen time, it is better if you are with your family to go by private vehicle. then, i hope you will see the traffic authorities . during arbaeen days, the demand for special routes will increase several times. multiplying the demand to respond in this short period of time is a difficult task. the use of private cars with all, i.e. all four passengers , is effective in the easier movement of pilgrims to the border. by the destiny of a good double, a good notification should increase this number to an average of three people. who comes along the way, those who are eager for this route and bring with them the pressure and the fleet of public transport will be less, it is a way to save people, looking for a travel companion fo
