in the first step, a committee called public information committee was established. committee was supposed to justify the war policies of the country to the people . the members of this committee were neither generals nor politicians. they were reporters. reporters who they had years of experience and were able to. to win people's trust and they knew the ways to win people's trust. from the heart of this committee came out ways to justify the war. woodrow wilson, the president of the united states at the time, declared that the united states was not fighting for the revival of old empires, but for the revival of democracy in europe. now everything was ready for america to enter the war safely. but this war is the same. every other war had to end eventually. after the war, with the destruction of europe , the american economy remained healthy and made a huge profit from that destruction. america, which until 1914 had more than 2 a billion dollars was owed to foreign countries. in february 1919, only four and a half billion dollars came from england and more than from f

and today the state control committee is opening a hot line on the organization of passenger transportation by public transport. within two days, information will be received on the short number 191 in the telegram chatboot of the department’s channel. citizens can report irregularities in the work of carriers, non-compliance with traffic, flight disruptions, lack of receipts, coupons and cash register equipment, and kgc employees are also ready to listen to proposals to improve the quality of work of carriers. so, the short number will work today tomorrow from 9 to 13:00 from 14 to 17. improving electoral culture youth, as well as innovations of the upcoming election campaign. students and teachers of the pedagogical university met with the chairman of the central election commission. almost 200 people joined the current discussion; the legal nuances and algorithms of the election campaign were explained to them simply and clearly, which is important for those who are about to cast their vote for the first time. igor korpenko emphasized that today young people must understand that they are not just checking a box , but making a choice abo

informs them. as chair of the cross—party public accounts committee, labour's dame meg hillier has monitored the amountsne thing we have been really clear about is because of the lack of preparation, and— about is because of the lack of preparation, and particularly with bounce back _ preparation, and particularly with bounce back loan schemes, - preparation, and particularly with| bounce back loan schemes, there preparation, and particularly with - bounce back loan schemes, there was not enough done to drive out the prospect of fraud. that was one lack of value for money, because that was money going to fraudsters, not to keep people in work or business is going. i will take a long time to crystallise, only 7 billion. we don't know what the figure will be. obviously, and we were very tolerant as a committee at the beginning, certainly things have to be done fast, but even at that early stage, we were looking at this from the summer of 2020, and there wasn't a real plan for how to balance these issues. although there had been some previous plans for dealing with pandemics, more recent plans had been rep

doug, if a closed door inquiry does not produce new or satisfactory information, while the house committee members their shift to a public hearing? >> it's a very good question, arthel. there is a lot of back-a back-and-forth. abby was saying will only do this publicly and they congressional committee said no, we control that. norm of the first deposition is behind closed doors and then we will offer you a chance to do publicly. but to answer your question, which i'm not dodging, i think on many levels broken record allowed the congressional oversight activity now is going to be paused in my view because of this indictment. arthel: if it is pause, what does that leave the public to think? there is always going to be the court of public opinion in people are trying to play on that. >> that is the key to everything the point is how you break right into the faultlines. so 50% of the public is going to have one of you he is terrible, horrible, a criminal if the person will say no, no, no this is totally unfair he had drug problems and again we are in such a toxic divide on these types of things that should answer your questi

>> thank you, i'll take that information back and we'll respond in whatever way makes sense to the committee. >> awesome. thank you. >> thank you. >> again, for the public we have a member out that is ill. we are not allowed to have remote participation only for ada or parental leave so if someone has covid or illness they can not participate remotely. i'm excited to present the next item, item 5, ocoh coordination homelessinize oversight commission. we have jameel patterson and hali hammer. we will be joined shortly by member jonathan butler. welcome. we will-the purpose of the item and why we wanted this at the retreat is the understanding we know there is several bodies looking at homelessness in our city and wanting to engage around the work happening because there is a lot of overlap and the work we are doing and want to be strategic and in collaboration with these bodies and informed to not duplicate the work and inform what other bodies are daing to strengthen all the efforts so this is the first time we have done this for ocoh. been in operation about 3 years and change and i believe all the members accept for member walton have been here since

and it is because of the work that i believe of the january six committee to get a lot of this evidence and information out to the publicpeople like the main secretary of state, like you just showed. it is funny, even the analogy that she used this is something i use talking to folks and reporters who were working on the story and covering the select committee. the idea that donald trump acted not only on january 6th to direct his supporters to stop the counting of the electoral votes in the joint session, but that over the course of the year he was almost putting kindling and trying to make sure that he won the 2020 election and it sort of erupted on january 6th when we saw the riot and those infamous images on the capitol. i think the work that the january six committee did throughout the year and in the 20 hours, over 20 hours of public hearings we had of evidence and testimony really is fueling a lot of these efforts. because the public knows that the actions donald trump took to overturn the election. look, some of these positions are coming through state, courts others by secretaries of state. ultimately it comes

reasons and you want ultimately to become public about the efficient and you do the mechanical asks about documents and the committee has a lot of informationsome might be relevant and some irrelevant and the way to start sifting through that is by asking witnesses what the documents mean and think about the integrity of the process. one of the other reasons to have close door confidential interrogations and it'll be involving lots of other witness asks you don't want if you're a prosecutor or investigating this case is a situation where someone testifies publicly and let's all the other witnesses that maybe testifying tremendousing thereafter know what the narrative is going to be or story and it's very typical you want these things to be kept confidential and doesn't influence the testimony of other witnesses and see this all all the time and you sequester witnesses and there's that component but the reality is, mike, it's absolutely the case if you allow for hunter biden to testify in front of an open committee right now, it's 23409 going to be very -- not going to be very efficient the way the committees are structures. mike: abby lowel

i wish we had this information when we went to the public with our findings. it makes me proud of what we did on the committeeecause i think jack smith has a -- i mean, the indications i'm seeing here, pretty open and shut case and it's pretty obviously criminal. it's clearly an attempt to overthrow an election. and so i'm sitting here saying -- i am not somebody that loves the idea of going after the last administration ebx is ept in this case we couldn't be a country that allows an attempted coup to happen, as long as it fails, it's okay. if it succeeds, it takes away any incentive for a future president to not try to do the same things. >> what we saw overnight in ukraine, we have spoken about the u.s. support and what it means and the conflict itself. the scale of the russian air assaults last night, the missiles. was it something -- ukrainians saying they haven't seen it since the start of the war. what do you make of the tactical -- the strategy playing out from the russian side right now? >> well, it's pure evil. this man lost 350,000 troops in two years. he has lost 500 men a day. in five days, he has

spread information around the world about the war at home, giving the russians that opportunity at the same time. the czech publication reflex reacted to the decision of the international olympic committeey creating a gallery of images with the help of artificial intelligence, where athletes are depicted in allegedly bloodied uniforms. journalists write that they applaud and approve this decision, but on one condition, let the russian and belarusian participants wear exactly this uniform. and then we will talk about actually this is the position of ukraine regarding sports competitions, regarding the olympic games, what should this position be? olga seladukha, member of the supreme committee. council on youth and sports, people's deputy from the servant of the people, joined our broadcast, i welcome you to our broadcast, thank you for participating, congratulations kateryna, congratulations studio, olya, well, tell me why in your opinion mok still allowed citizens russia and belarus before the competition, whether it is insufficient ukrainian lobby, or too active russian lobby, whether it is some financial or political issues, why so happened, the cynical decision regarding the admissio

public health emergencies towa include regionl declarations as well as intermediate threats allowing director general to act on information inam public domain without verification from member states and creation of a compliance committee enforce their worlds i can assure the american people do not want the w.h.o. enforcing any rules on their own personal decisions regarding their health. certain ihr amendments are adopted including so much states. the biden administration led the charge for amendments to the ihr including a new compliance committee. the treaty would create conference of the parties which would call on the united nations for help in implementing the treaty. there's already talk of the conference of the party's being merged together with ihr. well, the biden administration wants to entangle the u.s. and more globalist organizations and imperil the health and safety of american citizens president trump withdrew the u.s. from the w.h.o. completely wisely anticipating such precarious mandates as the ones being proposed. the move toward a global health security state is reliant upon surveillance which relies on data, remember china, that's whey they did to their citizens and still do. the treaty in the ihr

movement and understanding amongst the american public, with comments and questions, if they had not broken that story, with the church committee have been informed think? >> it sounds like someone has been reading my book. yes, that triggered the church committee in december, 1974, seymour hersh, who is a legendary investigator for the new york times broke a huge story in the new york times about the domestics my -- domestic spying operations especially against antiwar dissidents and leaders and that triggered the creation of the church committee that led to calls from congressional investigations and the intelligence committee and ultimately, it was what mansfield use -- used as is predicate to create this committee he been wanting to create for many years, and in the house, there was a house version of the same thing that eventually became known in this committee, and the white house, ford had just become president and they tried to slow down thea congressional resolutions by creating a non-independent commission but it quickly became seen as something of a white wash and so it did not really slow down those efforts to have congressional inves

testify publicly knowing had that the house oversight committee said yes, you can do public later but first we need the closed door to get to the informationleigh, the new york times is facing backlash. critics are you accusing the new york times of altering a key quote from hunter's presser, the paper wrote an earlier version of the article misquoted hunter biden. he said my father was not financially involved in my business, not my father was not involved in my business as the paper first wrote, kayleigh. >> and hunter biden made that statement at least three times throughout his speech, so to argue this was unintentional by the new york times -- it goes back to the language about the fair i've the. i think it's obvious at this point that -- we talk about the public strategy by hunter biden and his legal team here, they are setting him up to be the fall guy. they're putting him in the spotlight so that he can take the fall for joe biden. that's what's happening here. and t they've left house republicans no choice but the formalize the impeachment inquiry. the excuses for not complying with congressional requests and subpoenas was they ha

publication of this or that contradictory norm, or some polls that were made by representatives of the working group and representatives of the specialized committee on... security, from my point of view, they created more informational chaos and turned the question of mobilization into a scarecrow that frightens all spheres of civil society, which currently does not contribute to unity, and unity is the key to quality mobilization, including. mrs. irena , we understand that mobilization cannot be carried out with slogans, but it looks exactly like this, now from... mobilization is taking place, but there are no working mechanisms, let's put it this way, and when we watch the show, because society believes , this is really a mask show, when tsk is packed by force people in the streets, and thus exceed their powers, then the state should get involved in this process so that such cases do not happen again, and i am interested to understand if there is something in this draft of a potential law on mobilization. regarding the powers of tsc employees? well, currently there is no information about the powers of tsc employees, but here i want to support your point of view and add my vision about it. in general, i believe th

committee series. a number talk to the people in the open attending issues and make sure we have a government and a public informed and able eto understand what the problems are and what the solutions are and want to commend archer today, is not enough talking to the american people about these issues. we are joined by michael and he will moderate today's discussion represents bonus district, but the great veteran, green beret 27 congress continues this remarkable putin service in foreign affairs committee and the intelligence committee. let me introduce our panelists getting into discussion time. ir. miles yu come senior fellow and director of the china center here at hudson institute. he is joined by his colleague john lee, senior fellow at hudson who is based in sydney, australia. and craig singleton who is come join to from the foundation for defense of democracies where he is the deputy director of their china program. and with that i am please to turn the floor over to congressman waltz. >> thank you, john. thank you to the hudson for hosting this. this is part of a broader series that we on the intelligence

i do this each day to scamicide and this committee has also done this to publication such as its fraud book publication which contains much useful information. fortunately, , ai can also be an effective tool in combating ai enhanced scams. machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and trends associated with spearphishing e-mails. ai can be used identify robocall patterns and detect spoofing, a technique used to manipulate, a deep and another phonographic regulation of ai is critical to protecting people from ai enhanced scams. and as a said the president recent executive order is a promising for step. the ftc has regulatory authority over ai through section five of the ftc act but cox will also have a role to play in crafting appropriate regulations. unfortunately scammers may pay little attention to regulators to regulators should focus on ensuring consumers can identify and authenticate content. when it comes to protecting seniors from the daunting challenge of ai skanska the time to do the best we can is now. >> thank you mr. weisman. dr. ekin. did i pronounce it correctly? >> you did. thank you, c

january public meetings, it would include updated information about access of care and payment recommendations to ensure continued access, the commission is happy to give you a resource to the committee and i look forward to your question. >> thank you for your testimony, that concludes all of our witness testimony and we will enter the questioning period. i will recognize myself for five minutes, i want to say i appreciate my partner from new jersey, we are not proposing any where a to take that away or are we proposing to pay more, we were just passing this finding that it happened last congress, the inflation reduction act not only limited the policy. we had innovation for seniors, the scored savings, i don't say savings from the ceo were spent outside of all these issues. to enhance subsidies to help insurance companies, we were just passionate about fighting that. we need to come together to help our seniors and baby boomers coming toward. when we spent the money on enhanced subsidies for health insurance companies, they knew this was coming and they chose to spend the money there. i want to make that point as passionately as he made his. new reporting suggest there is significa

public figures... what will be done, it is no secret that information was brought to official kiev that any provocative actions in relations with belarus will have consequences. ivan stanislavich tertel , chairman of the state security committeed, and this information was there, and we saw that kiev had been restraining this for a long time, if it was now in the wake of hysteria and panic from defeats at the front , they decided to move on to some provocative action. now, more than ever, so official kiev must be well aware that we have described the scenario of what they can do, but they must understand that this is the president of belarus. and also, and here he sits, look, sobolev, this idiot from the verkhovna rada, here he destroyed his own country along with others, destroyed his own country, starting in the fourteenth year, sits, advises to do the same with belarus, our fools , the runaways listen and nod, and why do they listen and nod, they are such worthless people, money for anything, for anything, they came, what do you think, one of them is one of our runaways, look, the winch is sitting, 30 years of struggle, imitation, to prolong the conflict in ukraine as long as possible to involve not only belarus, but all of

public spaces. more information is available at sf.govt/shared spaces. >> okay, good morning, every one. this meeting will come to order. welcome to the december 11, 2023, regular meeting of the land use transportation committee of the board of supervisors. i'm imelda melgar. and jason is our staff person for sf tv. mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? . >> clerk: yes, chair, please silence your phones. if you have any documents, you can submit them to me. you can bring them to the front rail and i'll pick them up from there. when your item of interest comes up and your public comment is called, please line up to speak along your right of the room. ultimately you may submit your comments by writing, and you may do by sending it to me, my email. or you may submit your written comment to see our office city hall, that's clerk's office room 244 city hall address is carleton place, 941102. if you submit your public comment in writing, i will forward it to the committee. and finally, madam chair, items acted upon today are expected to appear on the board of supervisors agenda on january 9, 2024, unless otherwise stated. >> thank you, please call item number 11. >> clerk: item number 1 is planning code for fle

in a public hearing, you have to have each member of the committee get five minutes to question the witness and it leads to a lot of showboating, a lot of politicking and it is not very informativerman says we always start with a private deposition, which is transcribed, and then after that we have a public hearing. hunter biden says no, i won't do the deposition, i will only do the public hearing. and the chairman is saying listen, you don't get to decide. i think one interesting thing here about this whole hunter biden show that we've seen this morning is that it is a good idea to at least show up even if you are not going to talk. in congress, if you are subpoenaed to testify and you tell the members of congress to forget about it, you are not showing up, they get really mad. if you show up and say well, because of the fifth amendment i can't answer your questions but here i am, here is my body right in front of you, then they have less reason to go after you for contempt of congress. >> dana: and you have the situation where the justice department is also involved here. not on this hearing necessarily, but they are the ones who brought the charges and they are the ones who a

information for additional thought, and now let’s return to the political geography that is more familiar to us, here is a political publication publishing an article where it says , that the foreign affairs committeerkish parliament... gave the go-ahead for sweden's accession to nato, which is why experts have the feeling that this frozen issue of sweden's accession is finally beginning to move from a dead end in turkey. committee began considering sweden's membership in nato back in november. discussions were then postponed. now stockholm’s applications have been given the green light to bring the issue up for discussion in parliament as a whole. this happened after the president of turkey, recep tayyip erdogan, put forward two conditions. here the western partners have much less determination, and of course, in kiev they can’t help but feel this, so the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, mr. kuleba, proposes this position, he tells the ukrainians this: dear fellow citizens, live as if you were already in nato. i believe that in relations with nato we no longer need to focus on any interim documents with the whole country monitoring whether ukraine will receive membership or not. ukrainians

public. the committees have continued investigating as they continue to pursue transparency and accountability. we are formalizing their impeachment inquiry efforts to get the house the strongest legal standing to produce information and enforce subpoenas, allowing this chamber to be at the apex of its constitutional power is vital to its system of checks and balances. i will briefly summarize the procedures today's resolution establishes for the inquiry. first, he charges the committee on oversight and reform, the committee on ways and means, and the committee on the judiciary with extending the existing inquiry. it provides procedures for conducting hearings and calling and questioning witnesses. it grants the minority equal time to question and request witnesses. it ensures investigating committees can prepare and transmit reports and documents to the committee on the judiciary, which traditionally considers impeachment. it gives the president and his counsel opportunities to participate in proceedings before the committee on the judiciary. it authorizes the committee on the judiciary to report to the house of representatives resolutions, articles of impeachment, or other recommendations. if these procedures so

>> thank you, i'll take that information back and we'll respond in whatever way makes sense to the committee. >> awesome. thank you. >> thank you. >> again, for the public we have a member out that is ill. we are not allowed to have remote participation only for ada or parental leave so if someone has covid or illness they can not participate remotely. i'm excited to present the next item, item 5, ocoh coordination homelessinize oversight commission. we have jameel patterson and hali hammer. we will be joined shortly by member jonathan butler. welcome. we will-the purpose of the item and why we wanted this at the retreat is the understanding we know there is several bodies looking at homelessness in our city and wanting to engage around the work happening because there is a lot of overlap and the work we are doing and want to be strategic and in collaboration with these bodies and informed to not duplicate the work and inform what other bodies are daing to strengthen all the efforts so this is the first time we have done this for ocoh. been in operation about 3 years and change and i believe all the members accept for member walton have been here since

committee would wish to pursue that question. >> thank you very much. next question, dashboard for information of public. why can't we launch a public dash bord that give the public information by department? a lot of information presented when we hold a hearing but why--shouldn't say why not happen because assume it can. why can we fot had have a timeline for public dashboard? >> thank you for the question. kate howard. as director noted, preparing some dash bords with our team and look forward working with the controller office to identify a way to make that information public. that doesn't harm employee confidentiality. >> certainly- >> happy to provide you with a timeline. i believe it can be done within the next 6 months. >> great. thank you. i think it is important for people to see that information by department. also one issue that raised in civil grand jury report is around how much of the work through all these vacancies ends up getting filled by temporary exempt employees or contracting out. that might be additional level of nuance, but i think it would be important as we build out the dashboa

public accounts committee and the departmental committees, in this case, the home affairs select committee, to report on projects on a different basis, especially with something that is a flagship policy of yours, prime minister. producing information the annual accounts, which is 15 months after the last £100 million payment was made to rwanda, is not acceptable. what is the problem with just being open and honest about something you signed off as chancellor, that you are now championing as prime minister and that is a five-year program? what is the secrecy? the prime minister: because, as we have been very clear, it may well be that we want to have other conversations with other countries. dame meg hillier: ok. which other countries are you thinking of having a conversation with? the prime minister: again, it would not be right to talk about these things if we are having private conversations with countries about potential alternatives to add to our rwanda policy. we have always been clear that that is something that the government would like to explore. dame meg hillier: prime minister, i have been on the public accounts committee for 12 years now. i am aware that lots of things are talked about as being commercially confidentia

information, this lending will continue. when crafting this rule the cfpb conducted considerable outreach to small firms and considered thousands of public comments from entrepreneurs. during a recent small business committee hearing, we received testimony that this rule will help the market better address both the lack of access to affordable capital and the right of irresponsible lending. i don't have time. it would allow lenders to help taylor -- tailor their products and services to meet them and additional investment in small businesses without creating another government program. so you are for smaller -- right here. let's remedy this situation where we have empirical data that minority women, small businesses, female-owned businesses, and rural businesses do not have the same access to affordable capital. it has been 13 long years. we cannot reverse course now. to do so will be an insult to the minority-owned businesses that are counting on our support. i urge my colleagues to vote no on this resolution. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. williams: i yield two minutes to the gentleman, mr. meuser, from the great state of penns
