bigger much sir for your thoughts this was summer soran who is the president of the observer research foundation discussing what's going on at this eastern economic forum and the things happening around of the well as i've mentioned the president of china will be meeting his russian counterpart later on tuesday and of course i'll be back with more updates from a lot of austin ok we'll let you get on to that for now they are in your trunk or at least an economic forum thanks for that. the u.n. human rights chief has sent delegations to italy and austria to verify how migrants are being protected off the reported increase in racist attacks in those countries . italy's decision to close its seaports denying entry to angio rescue ships had serious consequences for the most vulnerable even though we're seeing a big drop in the numbers coming from libya over the past twelve months the number of those who died during the crossing is high in the first six months of twenty eighteen than it was the total flow of arrivals in the e.u. has decreased overall compared to last year it's a trend that's evident i

getting involved with the disease and doing advocacy, finding out so little goes into research, that's why the meso foundation is so important. because it does funnel money back into research that's direly needed. soledad: how long has it been since you were diagnosed? heather von st. james: i wasee s after the birth of my only daughter. soledad: most people do not survive very long with mesothelioma. heather von st. james: most people die within 18 months. i guess the median being 12.5 with chemotherapy, two years with surgery. i'm one of the lucky ones. that's all i can say. soledad: it must be bizarre to hear about this coming back, asbestos, sort of, you know, and embraced by the epa. heather von st. james: it's infuriating to say the least. when i heard the news that they were actually considering new uses and allowing new uses, it brought back all of the memories of that time when i was diagnosed. all of that rage. the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. and as i talked to other members of the mesothelioma community, they were just incensed at the news as well. like, how could this happen? don't t

it's hosted by the damon runion cancer research foundation and 100% of proceeds will go towards supportingoung scientists at the cutting edge of cancer research. the race is a race, yeah, kicks off october 21st. it's open to everyone 18 years and older. paul, i see you signing up for that. >> you know, i did climb floors 59 through 61 which officially doesn't count because that's only like three. >> but it sounds great. >> it sounds a lot better than it was. it's like going upstairs in your house, a few more steps, not that impressive. >>> the view from the sales force tower is impressive tonight, a little finger of fog making its way through the golden gate on the top left of your screen or smartphone or ipad. it's stretching over towards el cerrito and berkeley. that's the only fog we will see tonight. it is 60 in san francisco, still 85 and clear in livermore, 79 in santa rosa, 84 in concord, upper 40s sonoma county and points north overnight. vallejo 55, san francisco dropped to 50 overnight last night and tied a record le. tonight you'll drop to 54 tying -- low. tonight you'll drop to

a benefit for a research foundation celebrating john leonard, the doctor who treated like plane for bloodree years ago. cancerkfein for blood three years ago. caroline: and let's bring in amanda gordon, who is overseeing that event. to this extent, this is something close to his own heart. is this something now, as he moves away as ceo of goldman sachs, to lend more time to these important causes? we may see that. he might be that she is interested in philanthropy, and this is important to him. more friends and family even goldman colleagues at this particular occasion, and he has signed on to chair a very big event philanthropic way for the dinner int december. the honorary is david solomon, taking his place starting on monday. when we spoke, he says he does not know what is next. he will consider all possibilities, all reasonable possibilities. he is keeping mum. if he has any specific ideas, he is keeping mum. be clear, lloyd blankfein is cheered of the cancer and is not leaving, retiring because of his illness? that is correct. lymphoma is a form of cancer that is highly treatable, an

and in the process, a significant portion of the proceeds were donated to the breast cancer research foundationplatform democratizing further? the countryness in increases, how does ebay state true to its mission of the world marketplace? samuel: intentionality to really prioritize that in our strategy and how we show up in the world. that commitment is there from the top on down. it is also something that shows up in a parade of different ways that might seem -- shows up shows up in different ways that might seem commodity driven. the broad spectrum of sellers are represented in the market. we have an annual event where we celebrate our sellers each year and we have awards that we give out. scarlet: i wonder how self-conscious you might feel as an african-american executive in the tech world of silicon valley. do you encounter surprises, challenges that even after six years, they take you are back and make you think, this is not exactly how i anticipated this? samuel: i forget who joked once, i've been black for a long time, and it is true. ateis really hard to bifric the pieces of who you are

getting a chance to learn how to survive and conduct research in this, one of the most wild classrooms in north america. supported and staffed by the foundation for glacier and environmental research, the juno icefield research prorogram has some of e longest-running glacialal climae records in the world and is a treasure trove of valuable data about how our world's climate is changing. i'm here at camp 17 on the juno icefield, and i'm going in to have a quick word with dr. anthony arendt. he's from the university of alaska in ffairbanks, and d he's one of te guys who designed the latest satellite imagery systems for nasa to understand the mass balance of this icefield. >> glaciers r respond immediatey to a any changes in n climate. r riations and their mamass are determined directly by how much snows llls on them in the wintertime anand how much ice ad snow melts away due to warmer temperatures in the summertime. so by monitoring glacier variations, we can understand a lot about climate systems, and so they're one of the first sost of early hallmamarks of climate change on the planet. >> dr. arendt helps create high-resolution computer model

and a special treat visitor from japan, but another, is a senior research fellow, of the sessa calla peace foundation and independent policy -- tokyo, and is also a fellow with the japan care, at css here in washington, and a senior research fellow at the rebuild japan initiative foundation. he previously served as a senior fellow director of foreign -- at the tokyo foundation, and then the global strategic studies institute, in tokyo. so, it really is a blue ribbon panel we have to discuss these issues. and we're going had to go first, as a mini keynote speaker, because many folks in tokyo have not, at least outside of the japan watchers, crowd may not have heard him, so he is going to give us the view -- view from tokyo on many issues, and so -- not only becoming tutors, but panelists presenting their own views. >> thank you. i appreciate -- i actually do not have a title for -- my mentor and good friend. but, no former -- but maybe, one correction, and -- >> maybe after today, you will. >> i am very happy to be back, in washington dc. i keep coming back, since 10 years at the cff, 95 to 2005. you

your research come from and what do they offer for helping helping us well so it turns out bush did unleashed about two hundred sixty one strains of embryonic stem cells which were the foundation for all the research on stem cells accidentally we found out that your own body had stem cells. they could be isolated the most common source was from bone marrow so if somebody has leukemia and they wipe out all their bone marrow they get a donor bone marrow get an injection and the bone marrow has stem cells in it which jumpstart your bone marrow which is now dead so the speak but the information is there so you can produce new you know bone marrow cells which would be white cells and so forth turns out that adipose tissue your fat is loaded with stem cells unbeknownst to us one hundred ccs a bone marrow may you know fifty one hundred thousand stem cells while in adults thirty ccs of that might yield five to forty million stem cells is just you know ridiculous so here for years we've been sucking out fat put it into faces try to make people look younger now they're putting their breast and butts so they buy lots more of a lot of us and we're wasting our stem cells on these cosmetic

if they were chosen by merit but if they are chosen because the national science foundation was conducting research of intersection nullity of engineering and math if any of you are so lucky to have been protected from the intersection nullity phrase that is the latest coin term of academic victim politics to express the multiple disabilities white people can check off numerous categories as the unofficial victim categories the nsf is actually paying gender theorist to study intersection nullity in the sciences it is so mind blowing an institution founded by congress in 1952 advance science basic research and we're doing intersection nullity. this is very much not to be ignored science education is slowed down pedagogy is changing there was an announcement this summer by the university of akron computer science professor he was arbitrarily raising the grades of all the female students as part of his contribution to gender equity of the sciences hoping that better grades would encourage them to go on so then there was an outcry to get them to back off but believe me initiatives are going on. yes i t

to research the difference between skilled technical work force development in the united states and in other developed countries. lastly, h.r. 5509 requires the national science foundation to conduct research on labor market analysis innovations, and america's skilled technical work force in order to improve our understanding of this work force's trends and needs. the innovative initiatives in this legislation will leverage the hard work and ingenuity of women and men of all ages, education levels and backgrounds to meet the demand for a stem-capable work force. much like the action of the trump -- the trump administration has already taken to expand apprenticeships to help meet today's rapidly changing economy, the innovations in mentoring, training and apprenticeships act takes significant steps to invest in new stem education and work force development programs. such investments will ensure the united states remains competitive in the global economy both today and tomorrow. the majority leader's bill will enhance america's stem competitiveness and contribute to our future economic prosperity. so there are many good reasons to support this legislation. mr. speaker, i

security flaws have now been fixed well jenny gephardt is the associate director of research at the electronic frontier foundation and she explains how it was possible for hackers to exploit certain facebook features. but at this point technical details are slim but from what we can understand like you said it revolves around a view as feature which allows folks to see what their profiles going to look like from another person's point of view great for making sure your privacy settings are where you want them to be it was the view as future interacting with a few other kurds' of facebook interacting with a video uploading feature interacting with single sign on facebook like and and what happened the way it were kind of counter-intuitively if someone used to view ads to look at their profile from the point of view of another person that other person would be become rollerball so you know we have alice and alice is using the view as future to see what her grandpa looks like to bob and it's bob's account there's exposed and the thing the exact thing that was exposed is a thing called access to so and access token i

irrelevant category but if they have been chosen by merit because the national science foundation has been conducting research of intersection malady and engineering car and math if any of you are so lucky to have been protected from the intersection malady as the latest coinage of the day of academic victim v politics to express the multiple disabilities to check off those numerous categories the nsf pays the gender theorist to study intersection malady this is so mind blowing founded by cog or long - - congress for 19 fifties research but this is very much not to be ignored definitely science education try not to leave people out pedagogy is changing that the announcement by the university of akron science professor was arbitrarily raising the grades of all female students as part of his contributions to the sciences that they would encourage them to go on with the better grades now there was an outcry that got them to back off but such initiatives are going on. so yes this is very very threatening. >> i seem to recall that recently the president made some statement that addressed this issue something to th

some of the research does by the foundation includes this fact.n two of the breaths you take comes from oxygen produced by plants in the ocean. >>> we have developing news on the peninsula. "abc 7 news" was on 280. check this out. when a commuter bus caught fewer in south san francisco. the highway patrol has issued a sig alert because the fire is delaying northbound drivers on 280 north of 380 interchnge. everyone on board the bus escaped safely. there's no word yet on how that fire started. >>> the stockton deep water channel is closed the night following the report of downed power lines in the channel. the coast guard issued the order halting all navigation in the vicinity of blackslough landing through sunday night. the closure came after a tug bar reported a crane it had on board struck the power lines causing them to fall in the channel. crews from the coast guard, pg&e as well as local sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene. >>> "abc 7 news" was in golden gate park for the unveiling of the new robin williams meadow sign. >> three,

then ben is a research fellow at the foundation for defensive democracy welcome, great to see you again going to be a fascinating speech that the president delivers at 10:15, and i have to say, it's hard to forget last yore's speech. listen. >> rocket man -- is on a suicide mission from himself, and for his regime. the united states is ready, willing and able but hopefully this will not be necessary. >> so the big question this year will the president dial back as rhetoric. apparently people in the white house are asking him to do just that. what do you expect? >> you know the president rhetoric is largely tied to the threats of the u.s. faces abroad so whether it is emanating from kim regime in north korea, or islamic according to the state department was labeled as world foremost state sponsor terrorism that rhetoric is tied to that. now whether the state department or anyone else in administration thinks that that rhetoric can help us get more allies to support max pressure campaign against both of the countries that remain to be seen but i think there's a cause for tough language at

the national science foundation put out an important notice, as vice president for research i was involved in taking it to my university, helping us understand. they agreed with my personal feeling a lot of us who say this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable and has to stop. we owe all of our researchers at safe environment in which to work. they said we will not tolerate sexual harassment of women or any other individuals. the workplace will be safe. we want you to do that. on the other hand, we reserve the right to come in and take away funding and take unilateral action. i thought that was an important strong statement. that andst p could do have all the agencies in that conversation and promulgated throughout all the agencies. nothing more important than making sure we have state -- safe environment. sen. nelson: one final question since i haven't broken -- haven't spoken to -- you will do something about the fact that this committee has taken a strong position with regard to protection of passengers -- consumer protections on airlines. yet, we have not seen the airlines do the

foundation. >> hosting today's program is darren, this research fellow in agriculture policy here at the heritage foundation. with that, we can begin our program. >> thank you, andrew. want to think everyone for coming today, and those watching online and on c-span. 45 years ago congress passed the endangered species act to help promote the conservation of species. the federal government deems an animal or plant is threatened or endangered with extinction, and displaced on a list known as the endangered species list. there are significant regulations that kick in to protect these listed species. unfortunately if we are just look at the goal of the law to protect species, the law hasn't worked that well. only about 3% of species have been recovered and delisted that were on the endangered species list. senator john barrasso provided an excellent summary of the laws record, or, as the doctor if i met 100 patients to the hospital -- admit, and only three recovered, i would deserve to lose my medical license, end quote. congress needs to take action to better achieve the goals of the esa. however, th

. >> >> dana: i have a question about the komen foundation and the research.>> here's the deal they raised $2.1 million for research over the time they have been in business. that is more than any other entity say the federal government. they are research for breast cancer in this country. they are the ones who do it. so, if you want to help find a cure for breast cancer, nobody should be dying from breast cancer. you have got to fund komen. >> jesse: how often should women go to the doctor and get their breasts checked. >> you go as often as your doctor says at least once a year don't listen to those nonsense people who say that young women should not go. when i was in treatment i saw women in their 30's who had breast cancer. and needed to have the mammogram and needed to get checked. don't listen to them. make sure that you get checked. i was checked for the very first time six months before diagnosis. but i had a very rare form of breast cancer that is difficult for a mammogram to see. had i been going over time, they would have been more likely to catch i

. >> the pacific legal foundation, the property research center you make in some of the benefits of reform which is only perspective. do you think there's an opportunity to build a process to look at some of the currently listed species so they could benefit from that sort of creativity? david i think we don't propose : that in the rule, and i think that, you know, one of the things were to think about in administering the act is just our ability to manage the processes. at the same time that are review periods for legit issues associated with listed species. i don't think it's with that beyond the realm of possibility to be thinking about how those review periods might utilize for just such projects it's like that. and we make it comments that suggest that would relate to rethink our approach there. we will see what we get. darin: another question. >> matthew with "the associated press." just want to ask you about the element of the cost-benefit analysis instead of just making the decisions based on the best available science. david: well, esa is interesting in that, and there's lots of,

he's now a senior research fellow at the heritage foundation., jenny town is the managing editor an an online policy journal that uses on north kore thank you, both of you, for being here. bruce, what's your reaction to the meeting yesterday and the agreements that have been announced? >> i think we have to measure it two differentays. on inner-korean relations and forucing the potential military conflict, at least at a tactical level, i think it wasc cessful. on the denuclearization which is of real concerno the united stat we didn't make any real progress and we need to put more meat to the bonf o this agreement and the singapore agreement president trump was >> bruce is talking about not a lot of change there. what do you think about that, jenny? well, i tend to agree. they did offer a confidence-building measure in terms of actually destroying also the launch pad at well the engine test they already agreed to but reiterated this is not a unilateral process.uc and init is more of a usdpr discussion. >> these leaders announced several differen

i'm bruce clinger, senior research fellow for northeast asia at the heritage foundation. i've been here 11 years and before that 20 years with the cia and defense intelligence agency. thank you for coming. i know it's a beautiful day out there. i just flew in from beijing where it was very hot and humid so this is quite a nice change. so i'm hopefully not going to get hit by jet lag while i'm up here on the dais. in beijing we got quite an earful. we heard a lot about the trade war between -- the trade reconnaissance by fire or skirmish, whatever we want to call it. that was a big topic of conversation as it has been in washington. then also north korea was actually the main focus of the group's discussion and that again reflects what we have in washington so those two topics have crowded out most other asian issues from the focus in washington so what we want to do today is talk about japan and the u.s.-japan relationship and the alliance which i think has unfortunately been overshadowed by the hot issues and we often times neglect our friends, we neglect our allies and

now been fixed we spoke to jeannie gephardt who is the associate director of research at the electronic frontier foundation she explains how it was possible for hackers to exploit facebook features. but at this point technical details are slim but from what we can understand like you said it revolves around a view as feature which allows folks to see what their profiles going to look like from another person's point of view great for making sure your privacy settings are where you want them to be it was the view as future interacting with a few other parts of facebook interacting with a video uploading feature and interacting with single sign on facebook like and and what happens the way it were kind of counter-intuitively is someone who used to view ads to look at their profile from the point of view of another person that other person would be become vulnerable so you know we have alice and alice is using the view as future to see what her profile is like to bob and it's bob's account that is exposed and the thing the exact thing that was exposed is a thing called access took and it's so in access token

according to research from the american foundation for suicide prevention. there is no single cause of suicide and suicide risk increases with several health factors and life stressors converge to create an experience of hopelessness and despair. but together we can reverse this course. by making mental health care, substance abuse treatment, suicide prevention a national priority. we can reverse the tide of these deaths of despair. we will save lives and we will do it together. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields g -- yields. under the speaker's announced policy of -- policy of january 3, 017, the gentleman from montana, mr. jean forte is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. gianforte: i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the topic of my special order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. gianforte: i yield six minutes to the gentleman from

if we sacrifice or compromise than the science the public partnership that we have in the foundation to researchis undone. to me that is critical. they have an important role to play. it has communicated and coordinated with all of the agencies. having them provide their particular strategies for ensuring exactly what i was talking about and i think we need to make sure we are vigilant to make sure the practices are being filed -- followed, extremely important.>> since we are in hurricane season, you have worked with us in the past to improve the public's response to hurricane warnings. you know what is happening. fires, floods, storms, it is happening all over. we are seeing because in part of heat, persistent algae blooms on both of florida's coast although fueled by nutrients, what should we be focusing our research efforts on to mitigate the risk of all of this that is happening? >> another extremely important question. we really have to understand in the case of harmful algae blooms how these things happen and how they develop like they do. i did my own research at the university. the senat

compromise on that, then the trusted public focus that we have, the partnership that we have, the foundation and research of the public trust comes undone. otca has a very important role to play in that activity. in the past, they have teamed up with all the different agencies for ensuring exactly what i'm talking about, and we need to make sure we're vigilant and that those practices are followed. it's very important. >> since we've been in hurricane season, you've worked with us in the past to improve the public's response to hurricane warnings. you know what's happening. fires, floods, storms, it's happening all over. we're seeing, because in part, of heat, persistent algae blooms on both of florida's coasts, although fueled by nutrients. what should we be focusing our research efforts on to mitigate the risk of all of this that's happening? >> another extremely important question. we really have to understand, in the case of harmful algorithms, for example, how these things happen and how they ex ploes civ -- explosively develop. senator imhoff became quite ill one time with these things. i think we

device company or a big tech company or a lobbying firm wants to fund nih research, they can do so by donating to the nih foundation. so dr. collins, according to the most recent list of donors, the top six largest contributors to the foundation for the nih are all drug companies. and each of these drug companies has donated to the foundation every year for at least the past 15 years. so let me just ask this question. do you agree that science should be setting the agenda at nih and not donors? >> absolutely. >> good. i understand that's how it's supposed to work. the nih comes up with a plan based on the science and the foundation gets donations to fund it. but when you have your hand out for cash, it's sometimes possible that these lines get blurred. the nih recently canceled a study of the health effects of alcohol consumption following an internal investigation that revealed that the alcohol industry was not only funding the study but that the study had been set up to deliver the results the industry wanted. and this isn't even the only case this year that has raised ethical questions. in april you pulled the p

[applause] mr. ricks: thank you for that introduction. let's see if i can move this. it's loose. can you hear me? ok. [laughter] mr. ricks: how about that? we will go with this. it is a pleasure to be here in detroit. you know both my grandparents on , my maternal side were detroit natives. actually, first-generation immigrants to america, really demonstration of the american eight dream. they've passed now, but i'm left wondering whether they would be more proud that one of their offspring can come and stand at this podium or be more surprised that i would be that one. [laughter] they always thought i was wasting my time, actually. but, here i am, and i'm proud to be here presenting to you. i know this -- this is like a " saturday night live" skit.

foundation. my question is not so much in the operational side but you mentioned research. when i went to the side about research it talked about the people's side. was there any technical topics that needs more research investment? >> there was a list in the report. you can see the details. voter identification to verifiability. the risk of the audit technology is evolving and it needs more research. it is all mentioned in the report. specific technical challenges and i think from their point of view it was nice to see more support. >> the national center for science. some mention in the presentation about the convenience and physical infrastructure for voting. does the committee have a position on early voting as a way to spread out the stress on the system and was there an assessment of keeping it open longer? >> i think the report acknowledged the reality of the fact that there is more and more not early voting taking place but there is more mechanisms put in place to make it more convenient. we work from the premise in terms of the recommendations we didn't comment in

double roles in tel aviv another research institute was also acting as a cover for communication between the israelis and palestinians. this was the economic cooperation foundation set up by israeli labor party m p u c balan the n.g.o.s that we were leading huge for them myself and enjoy which was created earlier by bailey and his friend we were able to go between the two sites in jerusalem and pass messages and come with ideas and even bring the two sides i'm officially together and the hour of an ngo i was involved with talking to the side for many years in a very informal way mainly we. will send me if from is jerusalem. with whom it was easy to talk. by nine hundred eighty nine with the palestinian intifada in its second year there were few signs of hope for peace. hundreds of palestinians had been killed and thousands detained. on. just what the united states under president george bush started to increase the pressure on israeli prime minister yitzhak shamir the peace corps says still to come for stuff to stay just the first page full interview. conditions. this released. lord they're full autonomy etc just such states will be vexed and it was she a social

american economy going strong, the bill supports strong investments of research and development at the national science foundation, national aeronautics administration, and the -- and noaa. and my colleague mentioned nasa and the breakthroughs that we're seeing at nasa helping to drive innovation. this scientific innovation creates new discoveries that leads to new industries to new american jobs. that's good for this country. we need to make sure that the funding in this bill gets passed out of the senate and the congress before we get to the next process -- appropriations process for 2020. instead today what we're going to do is to vote to put the agencies that are funded by c.j.s. on autopilot until december through a continuing resolution. they will spend the same amount on programs and initiatives on the same items with no adjustment under this c.r. now we know that businesses don't operate this way, families don't operate this way, and the united states government shouldn't operate this way. so senator moran and i are going to continue to argue that we pass this bill. i would urge the leaders here in the se
