announced that jpmorgan chase, who had billed customers for identity theft protection and fraud protection services never received, would have to refund those customers to the tune of $309 million. you can understand why the big banks and their defenders in congress want to kill this agency. they even blocked a vote to confirm the proposed head of the cfpb, for two years, for no reason, other than they objected to their very existence. but since the they managed to get their man approved, and since the idea of the cfpb is wildly popular, the only way for the banks and republicans to kill it now is by stealth. and that means trying to starve it of funds. luckily, the authors of dodd/frank already thought of that eventuality, and they built in dead indicated funding stream for the bureau, to regulate it from the whims of congress. so that brings us back to the ransom note. this line, this seemingly boring and bureaucratic, reasonable-sounding request, to move the cfpb funding into the normal appropriations process, that is a request to let the house republicans have control over the bureau's annual b

in the jail's protective custody unit as the one involving deputy vales. ♪ amazing grace how sweet the sound ♪ >> several months earlier, deputy vales helps start an ongoing church serviceare usually kept separate from each other for safety reasons. he recently left the jail for another position in the sheriff's department. the services could only continue if another deputy volunteered to take them over and risk bringing enemies together. but that hasn't happened. >> deputy vales left, we haven't had no more church in here, but -- >> it's kind of sad, though. i think the authorities, they're going to think about the safety of their job and everybody in general. >> they get so many different minds in one place. somebody could do something wrong. people are here for protection. they're separate for a reason, so i'd rather just keep them separate. if we have church service, it's usually with "a" and "b" pod together or c, d, e, and f together over there on the side where i'm watching them. >> deputy vails knew others on staff did not think the church service was a good idea. some felt it was naive or unsafe. as vales explained before his departure, he was always aware of t

marshals, the federal protective service from homeland security is here also. so just a really continuing presence here this morning. >> all right, kasie hunt on the scene for us. again, what we are hoping for is that the metro police, and again in a situation like that, the d.c. police would be the first responders and were on the scene right after these initial reports came in. at about 8:20 this morning there was a report of a lone gunman opening fire and wounding several victims. we now believe there may be as many as 12 people who have been hurt. at least four fatalities. two law enforcement officials hurt. a d.c. police officer and a federal officer. we got a very dramatic report of a person who was hiding under a desk inside his office and walked up -- saw this gunman walk up to a base police officer and shoot him, critically wounding him. we've seen these helicopters at least in one case lifting one of the injured to area hospitals. we know that they have been arriving at area hospitals. again, the numbers remains a very fluid situation. joining me on t

haven't said those rules apply to interconnected voice service even though in many other contexts they applied the same telephone consumer protections for interconnected voice service. yes, this is -- makes it difficult for our members and we are concerned about exactly what steps the commission will take, what authority it will be viewed as having by the courts to ensure there is a level competitive playing field. why is this all-important? consumers have choice, they have innovative services offered to them, usually edge that their prices, they will have alternatives if they don't like their service they can go to somebody else. this is a good thing, this is what the 96 act intended and we want to see those provisions continue. >> you mentioned in your earlier statements you highlighted the widespread political and social roots support back in the days of the original drafting of the open internet order and given the sort of orbit triage, your stories exemplify, more and more companies are moving away from traditional telephone technologies and phone systems delivered over the internet, a shrinking of companies and entities that t

child protective services determined that the baby was at risk, but he stayed with the mom because a manager didn't signed off on the assessment for three months and in between rider's first hospital overdose and when he died, the mother drove off of the road and intoxicateed with her son in the back seat. police filed another report from cps and got no action. safety ark sessionment should be approved right away. but there are occasions when a time lapse occurs between the review of the safety assessment and the approval. the grand parents and others believe that the mom gave ryderdrugs to calm him down. >> we reached out you don't need to do. that we knew it was going o. give him to us. we are here. if you don't have the time. >> sarah stephens is charged with second-degree murder and child felony abuse. she was taking ambienn and other things. whether they are prescribed is unclear. >> thanks so much for explaining that. can a mother be held liable for a child's death in a situation like this? we'll bring in brian and shea jenkins. great to have you here. and let me start with you

the neighborhood needs protection from. the services and the homeless program and 63 low income families who reside at the gardens have been excluded from all environmental notifications in the department. in their omission, they have been denied the rights to participate in the process, for 480 potrero avenue, environmental justice could not be more relevant than the withholding of the information from the protected class related to the immediate environment and potential risk to their health. >> by adopting the negative it will have the net effect of further disenfranchising the most vulnerable members of our community, the potential for the effects caused by the direct separation of the no income individuals by being given the same rights and information as everyone else in the neighborhood would be a significant effect. and this warrantty, eir, in the review is mandatory, so that they could be included in that process, to protect the community of the environmental report should be required. thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> hel

minds what's really clear is people have sent a message out that it's important to protect our national health service here in the united kingdom david cameron came into power saying that he protects the n.h.s. well he is not doing that we're saying it's said to be piecemeal privatizing of our health services and it's also this is been important message to send out today as the tories have descended on our city. much to lose themselves in the group with the biggest protest to ever have to deal with through the government is really going to listen though i put it to you again with less than two years an election you think you are going to. well absolutely it's also shown that this government is in fact in real trouble of course it's been very much to do with the national health service today that actually that it's facing twenty billion of cuts by twenty fifteen it's all but it's also shown that crystallized to so many issues and where the government's unpopular for all the way from mass surveillance to threaten action in syria to legal aid the fact that so many people are willing to speak out and stan

park police and federal protective service are all right there. the navy base actually sits on capitol hill, so a ton of police officers all around there. the response was right away. jenna: well said, there certainly was a huge response initially and that is one of the things that kicked off for the rest of us this was not a small situation. apparently the navy is now taking the lead in this investigation, and according to an fbi source to fox news, the s.w.a.t. team is working with other agencies to now clear the building. we keep on cmis helicopter swooped around, we have seen them in the past lowering the empty baskets to the building rooftops. there's a big question if they are evacuating folks that are injured, what exactly are they doing and now they continue to circle. why would they do that given there could be an active shooter that is barricaded. >> there is always a possibility and active shooter, and a criminal can slip out from where they are harbored or staying. that is why they are hovering around the top of the building outside ma

when the service safety ordinance i had concerns we neat to protect those buildings but many tenants were going to be displaced for the rent increases for the service work. we comprised tlbld a 50/50 split and with the mayor's office came up with this hardship provision and this will exempt low income and tenant seniors and those on fixed incomes to having to pay the service bond costs and will keep them in their homes and keep a lot of san franciscans who are having a difficult time when landlords are expiating every loophole they can to raise the rents. when the bond is going up and when we've had higher electric payments. so people with a fixed income 20 or 40 increase is enough to push them out of the city so thanks to the supervisors and mayor for addressing those concerns >> thank you next speaker mr. turner. >> good afternoon. i'm brooke turner. many of the concerns that the organization have or had are addressed by ms. new. one that wasn't addressed was our concern about the hardship exuding of non-liquid assets. you may have a tenant who's cash poor but own property but don't
