built e capabilities to contribute to that response. i'm interested to hear the witnesses' insight on what this inc meansre regarding the efficacy of these investments in the region whether u.s. capacity building can r in theed region has increased in the effectiveness and now these typerm. of investments can reduce the cost of disaster response operations for the united states this in the long term. it's under extremely unfortunatee organi circumstances that we discuss these efforts, but this is the precisely what we have many of these organizations for discussing the challenges we face in the region is necessary pare f to prepare for future potential disasters. and working toward minimizing the loss of life as well as ncere depleting limited resources associated with relief efforts. i give my sincere thanks to our colleagues and our witnesses forer joining us in this conversation today. and i yield to the ranking m member, mr. connolly. >>d st thank you, mr. chairman. and welcome to our panel. the united states has demonstrated a long

was the responsible. yeah, we should not have done that. if we had a residual force in iraq i don't think we would be talking about this. we beat al qaeda in iraq, and all the constituents died over there, we beat them, and we left the stable country. it became destabilized because of a lack of engagement, by withdrawing completely, by not engaging maliki. clinton went to baghdad one time in her tenure as secretary of state, for three hours. that shows you the level of disengagement in iraq. and that, i think, created isis. >> do you think -- would you say another 10tenure, that we should just stay there as long as it takes? rep. mccaul: we are not some monolithic giant. ramani was pretty scary. if we came up with a military strategy a political one that was aggressive and serious about destroying and defeating them not containing them, that we could do this in short order. we did it with al qaeda in iraq. isis is very similar to what we saw with al qaeda. the problem is -- destabilization of that region

which wrp proud of our responsiveness to congress. it is our responsibility. if anybody contacted you on behalf of the eb- 5 program, on your direction. you did not feel that that contact was improper or would have changed your decision making on the particular project? the fact that it would not affect the decision making. what would the law require on the facts at issue in the particular case. do you have any aal questions, i apologize again. you do not? okay. i want to thank the witness today, and the members of the committee may have additional questions for the twins. proo irto the rule. the hearing and would be open for ten days without

crows response included in our packet was filed on april 21st at 11 - 811 a.m. the deadline was april 20th navigate the letter should not be considered at all that whatever it trying to show through the previous sunshine complaint of orders is that crow explicit appear in many sunshine hearings and failed to notify the staff she was going on vacation and, in fact thank you complooipz compiles hearing in december when with had 3 that executive minutes were somehow lost no one was representing the commission at a hearing i was denied any due process rights the san francisco arts commission didn't supply an response and submitted an appeal based on the appeal at the last second so the san francisco arts commission has a long history of late responses and claims the city attorney advise yes, no name of the deputy city attorney or an e-mail included in the packet evicts to provide somehow a broad overview of the street artists program that is not the subject of the hamburger today, she seeks to move it away from the heart of sunshine violations 6726 rebecca criticall

right now, there is very much response.hey are still trying to verify and find people who are missing. the role of the federal government in this case, and fema, will be a support role. reporter: have you been in with -- in touch with the governor of texas, and you expect he will request fema assistance? guest: the president called the governor yesterday and pledged assistance. i talked to my counterpart at the state level, we talked yesterday, and let me put it this way. they are still very much in response phase. they began doing assessments. we have our regional administrator with the state, as they start counting. again, we are prepared to support them is they find that they need assistance and recovery. they are still very much focused on the response. they did not have any request for the federal government, but appreciate that we are there with them as this is happening. reporter: if we could jump ahead a little, hays county is known as flash flood valley. it has grown 60% in the last 10 years. these are areas that a

is th this is standard emergency response. draw circles around any particular site. you are going to look at how you are radiating into the site. they would have talked about the logistics of physical difficulties they would have had to get around and the number of people they would have prepared for this. little bit more about this. of course now on the associated press wires and other places, too, people are making their own connection. we will not do that until we can confirm it. they will put this type of thing into people's minds. we remember what happened in paris the satire cal newspaper the prophet of mohammed and what happened there the 12 people who were killed there. i understand the sensitivity. you don't have to draw a connection necessarily christopher. but just a sensitivity people would have in terms of protecting this venue. can we make that full right there. i want to look at that. so it appears that they have brought a robotices into scope here. we know they are looking at a vehicle that reportedly belonged

>> that's an ongoing spill response, as you know. it happened over the past -- it was a pipeline spill, a pipeline rupture, and it's put a fair amount of oil into the the water. i forget the exact number, but it's significant enough to have caused shoreline impacts. the response is fairly straightforward in terms of the techniques used. i think that from the response standpoint, i think the responders are doing everything they can do at this point. the real challenge is in -- is in the long-term cleanup as well as the long-term mitigation efforts that might follow as a result of that. and then holding the company accountable for the costs associated with the spill. i know we've got a number of responders. i don't know the exact count. the local federal on-scene coordinator, coast guard captain is responding to that. we're quite concerned. there's highly sensitive areas along the california coast. we want to make sure that we've addressed the potential for any follow-on spills. i would be happy to get that for the record. >> you were

it is a human response. just as there are scores of techniques that are stressful same fight or flight response, so there are scores of approaches that evoke the relaxation response. amy: that is dr. herbert benson, professor at harvard medical school speaking in the documentary "the connection: mind your body." do not worry we're going back to it. we urge you to call right now. i want to bring you as much as we possibly can of this documentary. and you can get a copy for yourself. it is well over one hour. it is done by a young journalist who herself was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in her 20's and thought, how can this be? so she went on a journey around the world are g did not want to just do it for herself. what about other people who take ill, and what are the ways to heal ourselves or work with professionals? we urge you to call 866-359-4334 . 866-359-4334. if you like to get "the connection come to the documentary is yours for $120 contribution. we urge you to call right now. we ask you to sta

, bejewel responsibility -- mutual responsibility. host: let's put the numbers up on the screen. guest: not only do we not vote on whether or not to put our men and women in harm's way, we don't pay for it, either. these wars have cost us trillions of dollars. if you go to war, congress and the president ought to impose a war tax. right now, the only people that are sacrificing are the men and women serving in afghanistan and iraq. the rest of us don't have to pay for it. the american people don't want to paperwork, maybe don't go to war -- pay for war maybe don't go to war part we've made it so easy to get into these foreign entanglements. congress sits back and ignores this constitutional responsibility, it's outrageous. we have done letters, done resolutions. we may use the privileged resolution to force a vote on this in the next few weeks. guest: we have done five-minute speeches. i've done one a week. you've talked about the waste and abuse. that's why jim and i feel so passionately about this. it's about the taxpayer -- host: a

terms the responsible actor for responsible for preventing the damage that it had caused and for cleaning it up. a third example is a real, and i apologize in advance for my description of it, quite awful individual level case out of southern california. it involves a hacker who had a i guess the only words i know how to use for it is a kind of mass online sexual assault thing going. he wrote some malware which he distributed to young women and underage girls. the fbi's stunted there may be as many as 00 victims -- 200 victims around southern california. and the malware worked as follows. first of all, you know as -- almost as an afterthought it stole your credit card information which sort of in a garden variety theft sort of way. but it also turned your web cam against you, and he would then take surreptitious pictures of people in various states of undress and then approach them with extortionate demands for them to produce sex tapes for him. and also use their contacts database to further distribute the malware. the fbi finally caught up with him. he's now serving time in prison. and

was claiming responsibility for the bombing in the eastern region of kartif. this is the home of saudi arabia's shia minority and i.s.i.l. has previously threatened this minority. >> it's they're trying to undermine the saudi arabian government, create doubt undermine the religious authority. this is one of the tenets of how they want to project power. they have a global strategy and executing on it perfectly. they want to create sectarian divide in the country of their enemy, saudi arabia. >> reporter: saudi arabia is leading a nearly two month long campaign in neighboring yemen against shia houthi rebels. just last month the saudi arabian governmental arrested members believed involved in attacks. be i.s.i.l. still poses a threat to the kingdom. jerald tan, al jazeera. >> in iraq, i.s.i.l. fighters have mounted separate attacks in anbar as they try to gain more foothold in the be province. haditha killing seven people there. ramadi, major defeat for the baghdad government. in a separate attack, the group has launched an ataj attack in fallujah. >>> the u.s.

great confidence you'll pass only simply to key it up to explain the landscape of rules and responsibilities it is important this morning for example, coming up the escalators on foot at montgomery station one of probably someone that is a regular watcher of sfgov was walking next to me i should spend more time getting muni's escalator fixed it was a escalator that was controlled by bashing so you have a sample of powell station the brighter picture that comes to us and the other one belongs to bashing so it is important to see the landscaping rules and responsibility and breakdown into 3 broad areas in the stations that is on the top those - the elevators are maintained by bart for which we pay them an annual fee the escalators there are 14 in o stations mroind by us you move to the group of stations starting that van ness their controlled by us and those elevators and escalators within our rules and responsibilities there are a couple within is a couple of exemptions an elevator for example that is maintained by dpw 30u8 but for general purposes in the first category the impacts of riders

for what when, in fact, there's a violent responsibility in many of the key stations we've been moving forward? a shot of the elevators and square roots escalators we do the elevators and escalators a little bit different than most of the other maintenance they're primarily overseeing we play a contract manager role 5 companies that bear the responsibility for maintaining our escalators we have made changes the last couple of years we highlight in the mid their scope of work to do preventive maintenance and respond to call backs and bids this part is a particular different than most of the other work and frankly many other places bart for example has a hundred or so technicians that maintain their elevators and escalators i suggested several years the maintenance practice for us has sustained relatively high amount of reliability but i'll show in a minute we need to think about changing our program as we move forward this is the overall system performance and this is what we're responsible for 28 escalators and 12 elevators our goal of 98 percent consistently been into the low 90s some

therefore, in april of 2010 in response to that mr. mayorkas himself put out a policy memo to uscis employees that stated quote, each uscis employee has the duty to act impartial alley in the performance of his or her official duties. any occurrence of actual or perceived preferential treatment, treating similarly situated applicants differently can call into question our ability to implement our nation's immigration laws fairly, honestly and properly. in examining the ig's findings it seems that mr. mayorkas has repeatedly violated his own policy through his actions regarding certain eb-5 cases as the director. as chairman of this committee, as a former federal prosecutor in the public integrity section of the department of justice i take the oversight responsibilities of this committee under the constitution very seriously. after looking at the ig's report and hearing the ig's testimony last month i felt obligated to examine the accusations paid in this report in greater detail. our committee staff has analyzed over 500 pages of docu

, bejewel responsibility -- mutual responsibility.et's put the numbers up on the screen. guest: not only do we not vote on whether or not to put our men and women in harm's way, we don't pay for it, either. these wars have cost us trillions of dollars. if you go to war, congress and the president ought to impose a war tax. right now, the only people that are sacrificing are the men and women serving in afghanistan and iraq. the rest of us don't have to pay for it. the american people don't want to paperwork, maybe don't go to war -- pay for war maybe don't go to war part we've made it so easy to get into these foreign entanglements. congress sits back and ignores this constitutional responsibility, it's outrageous. we have done letters, done resolutions. we may use the privileged resolution to force a vote on this in the next few weeks. guest: we have done five-minute speeches. i've done one a week. you've talked about the waste and abuse. that's why jim and i feel so passionately about this. it's about the taxpayer -- host: are we st

we need to share responsibilities. it is an european responsibility and a global responsibility. for the european union. multi latterism is key. respect of human rights in international law is key. and issues like this more than ever. let me explicitly assure you that no refugee or migrant found at sea will be sent back against their will. their rights under the geneva convention will be fully honored. betly be--let me be clear on another. point: libya. we all know very well that the vast majority of human trafficking and smuggling is in happening in libya or rather through libya. as long as they will not be there will not be an unity government that will exercise over its country and land and borders, this will continue this way. this is why the european union is not only supporting but acting with full determination and supporting the u.n.-led dialogue the formation of the government of national unity. i am myself in close daily contact welcome ber nardino leon on this subject. i myself was in tunis to meet and talk with all linen parties taking part of the dialogue. our messag

then isis claims responsibility. unfortunately, these are the hardest attacks to stop john. >> it may be a distinction without a difference. at it may be completely irrelevant. the fact is the attacks are happening. the target of the attack this time was the event in texas. the keynote speaker, a man well known in europe and well known to you. geert wilders. a right wing politician who is apparently on the al qaeda hit list. >> reporter: he is on the hit list. this is a man who has campaigned for freedom of speech and goes to events like the draw muhammad event. he is known for wanting to have the koran, the holy book banned. he is not exactly a proponent of freedom of speech but against the religion of islam. this made him famous. he is now back in the netherlands and certainly going to continue with his very controversial schedule of speeches. he is a member of parliament. he has put out on his twitter feed for the draw muhammad contest. >> controversial, but as the administration points out, controversy does not j

the so this is the case of the response.anticipation we have sent out our stop to 11 districts out there. i am giving you preliminary findings of what we have seen. there are five functional hospital that need urgent support. it's in different areas. which need support. this is the result of the assessment and that this will drive the response. we are finding support for these five hospitals to be able to get the medicines that we need. in fact, we have anticipated that and we have a shipment that has just come today which will be distributed no these hospitals. and what are the -- >> now there are also -- >> what are the most immediate concerns right now both at these hospitals that you mentioned and for the people all over the country? what are the most immediate needs? what are the biggest concerns? >> sure. we are having quite an early rainy season and that affects our response. basically still needed shelter water, food, and water and sanitation is actually a determinate for disease happening we are working with partner

only response you could make, really, was to lock people up. crime rates increase, and prison rates go up. the problem was that in that period, a political reflex got established where the public is alarmed about crime, particularly at the local level, and the politicians respond with hard-line policies on incarceration, and a dynamic it's entrenched. it became -- gets entrenched. it became politically convenient and ordinary for politicians of both parties to express hard-line attitude towards crime. after 1980, we see a break in the pattern were crime rates start to fall, go up and down, not consistently rising any longer, but in part because of this reflex that has been established, incarceration rates go on rising, even though crime is not going up consistently. after 1990, crime rates begin to fall, yet the incarceration rate continues to climb. so, it is obvious, just from this, that the social advantage of locking up more people was clearly no longer served by this, and the prison boom overshot. it is a good way to think of it. there was

what i said was that this isn't about response in the next three months, it's response in the next threes that matters. cases were increasing exponentially, they were doubling every three weeks. each month of delay would result in a tripling of cases. >> the world still has an opportunity to save countless lives. right now, the world has a responsibility to act, to step up, and to do more. >> narrator: ten months after the outbreak had begun the fight back was underway. the united states sent in thousands of troops and medics and other countries followed suit. the united nations created a new emergency mission of the who and other agencies to coordinate the response. work began building new treatment centers and training burial teams. but the outbreak was still ahead of the response and even threatened to spread beyond africa. >> the second health care worker in dallas has tested positive for the ebola virus. >> public health officials confirm the first human-to-human transmission of ebola in the u.s. >> we definitely arrived too late. i was absolutely petrified it would just be this, li

responsibility the organizations responsibility as a whole. everywhere and the president, and i, and i undertake to take that responsibility and discuss that matter as of today and in the coming weeks in contact with other negotiators in other areas to make sure the f.i.f.a. ship reaches more untroubled waters and make sure that f.i.f.a. is in a good robust situation and that we have a good f.i.f.a. and we have sac lying 2.6 -- something like 2.6 - sorry, is.6 the speaker says spectators who are concerned about football as a whole. to revert to the specifics of yesterday, i'd like to mention a couple of important points. the first is that for the first time now, we have been affronted in the congress about the difficulties of palestinian and israeli interags and according to the basic principles of solidarity yesterday israel or rather palestine act nobly. and they were convinced that i would win. it didn't happen they made an amendment to the proposal. and they withdraw it. it is an exceptional gesture, and i hope cech that the gesture could

rules and responsibilities there are a couple within is a couple of exemptions an elevator for example that is maintained by dpw 30u8 but for general purposes in the first category the impacts of riders the 4 stations with shared responsibility and then did outer stations we control and the reference to the 18 facilities or the elevators that exist in places like woods or film or our operating facilities that are used primarily for the employees so within those there's to point out considerable confusion among a lot of people who is responsible for what when, in fact, there's a violent responsibility in many of the key stations we've been moving forward? a shot of the elevators and square roots escalators we do the elevators and escalators a little bit different than most of the other maintenance they're primarily overseeing we play a contract manager role 5 companies that bear the responsibility for maintaining our escalators we have made changes the last couple of years we highlight in the mid their scope of work to do preventive maintenance and respond to call backs and bids this pa

which wrp proud of our responsiveness to congress. it is our responsibility. if anybody contacted you on behalf of the eb- 5 program, on your direction. you did not feel that that contact was improper or would have changed your decision making on the particular project? the fact that it would not affect the decision making. what would the law require on the facts at issue in the particular case. do you have any aal questions, i apologize again. you do not? okay. i want to thank the witness today, and the members of the committee may have additional questions for the twins. proo irto the rule. the hearing and would be open for ten days without that object city will stand adjourned. thank you. . >> supreme court will hear an argument on johnson verses u.s. and the justice 'tises are considered whether the sentences for possession of short barrelled shotguns and whether the residual clause in the law is unconstitutionally vague. and the court is expected to decide this case before the end of the term in june and oral arguments for the case will run one hour. an a

and in the response dod did not lead the response. we were part of massive whole-of-government response and in support of a whole-of-government can response. and it really was a great example of the interagency working and pulling together for a common cause. you know, our government is bureaucracy. in time of crisis, it's amazing what we can accomplish in short order. and this certainly was a time of crisis. even within dod it was a team approach, as you sue -- as you see these gentlemen here. not only was my office that's responsible for the life cycle development of these products but we also had medical countermeasure systems that leads the effort to develop and require safe, effective and innovative medical solutions. the walter reed army medical institute of research conducts biomedical research that's responsive to needs and delivers life-saving products that sustain the combat effectiveness of all of our war fighters. and, of course the united states army medical research institute for infectious diseases is the lead laborator

crow and her records we don't know clearly in the original response she doesn't accredit any portion of any law whether the sunshine ordinance which she she hesitate 40 has no training i find is it count they've overlooked a site and very difficult and the allegation i call constantly that is not true since they never pick up the phone none of that is true it's important recordkeeping awhile i keep the previous orders ever determination that's a large part of why they get violations bad sunshine laws and no recordkeeping and the inability do note down did it conversation to that i don't recall maybe i don't remember she read the e-mail over others phone how would i know the identity none of this make sense i'm telling the truth bottom line i have a videotape she roughed to see it i got a novice of warning i interrupted the staff person by blocking my stand directing your attention of an investigation didn't happen and eyewitness to the event i've seen the overwhelm it is not rfrlt to that and suddenly an overwhelm asking her identity to remain secret. >> we've horde our argument as i

and in the response dod did not leave a response. we are part of a massive hole of government response in support of it hold of government response but it really was a great example of the interagency working at pulling together for a common cause. our government is bureaucracy. in time of crisis it is amazing what we can accomplish in short order. this certainly was a time of crisis. even within dod to was a team approach as you see these gentlemen. not only was my office that is responsive for the likes life will development of these products involve but we also had medical countermeasures systems that leads the effort to develop and require safe come effective and innovative medical solutions. the walter reed medical army institute of research or rare conducts research about that is responsive to needs and delivers life-saving products that sustains the effectiveness of all of our warfighter. and, of course, a united states army medical research institute for infectious diseases, or usamriid to its affiliate laboratory for medical

it was also in very real terms a responsible actor who terms, a responsible actor who was responsible for preventing the damage that it had caused and cleaning it up. a third example is a real and i apologize in advance for the description it's a quite awful individual level example out of south carolina. i guess the only word i know how to use for it is a mass online sexual assault. he wrote software which he distributed to young women and under age girls. the fbi confiscated 200 around southern california. as an afterthought it's stole your credit card information. it also term your webcam against you. he would take pictures of people in various states of undress. he would then approach them with extortion and asked them to produce tapes. their contacts database would be used to further distribute the malware. the fbi finally caught up with them and he spending time in prison. what if he was not within the territory of the united states? that's where a lot of your spam comes from some other place where the jurisdiction reach of the fbi just doesn't go. so i would preclude from that

i hope central banks understand they have two responsibilities for price responsibility and financial stability and then they need to instruments you cannot hit two birds with one bullet unless you were very lucky see a need interest-rate policies and if they worry about the asset markets with what the experts call a macro policy but a really means regulation to address the risk in the financial market >> host: is a balancing act with the pressure to raise interest rates will gather as the year goes on and to do that without triggering a financial accident will be a crucial issue. >> that is the balancing act it is an example of how we should not be done in 2013 we had a paper tantrum when sharon bernanke suggest that the fed will start reducing security purchases and that caused all kinds of turmoil in the financial markets in the emerging markets in particular because the fed had been adequately communicated in advance what its intentions were nobody was prepared for guiding policy makers have learned from that experience to communicate much more clearly what they intend to do. that

the attack or is its claim of responsibility an opportunistic play for responsibility. the state department is now offering multimillion dollar bounties for information on four top isis fighters. for the latest on that, let's bring in nick paton walsh, good morning morning. >> reporter: the leader of isis and the reward out for capturing him or information leading to that. but this announcement by the state department gives a light on to the leaders also in the cross hairs now. four key names coming pup one of the first you haven't heard too publicly in the past. that's $7 million for al qaduli. he's been to afghanistan, pakistan an 11-year track record. so a lot of history there. the spokesperson for isis who pops up more frequently than their leader does on recordings or statements. now she is said to be a georgiaen national. and then rose to the fourth man in isis. a leader in the syrian-iraqi border area. these rewards, it come at a time where little is known about the whereabouts. he hasn't been seen in public since last year. few statements from him and now this l

they are about trying to drive more responsiveness in the system. the house bill is morof an incremental approach designed to empower the program manag who is the person in the government responsible for the success of the program.m. under the packard commission approach adopted years ago. the senate approach is more disruptive to the current system. on the one hand, it t is focused onon trying to achieve responsiveness. on the other hand, it completely changethe authority flow of commanfor acquisition. that is a huge change. vago: steve? steve: i would agree with the general charactezation of the bills. i would point out on onone hand the existing system is comparatively good at teaming up around problems, the flip is it diffuses authority and accountability. that is the thrust of the more disruptive proposals from the senate armed services committee, that is to concentrate authority and accountability and responsibility up. in that view, in military services as opposed to inin the office of the secretary of defense. vago: that explains whats drivi

quick response. >> guest: i was a response. >> guest:response. >> guest: i was a very quick look at al should call this member of congress. i have over 70,000 retired veterans in my district. they come first. they call our office respond quickly. and i think i'll thank you for your service continued to contact his congressman or person or call a senator's office and say, i've waited so long. i need my benefits. i've earned them guess but i would say to al and all those who serve our country, all of our veterans, we are very grateful for their service, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. that means also making sure the health care services that they are entitled to, they've earned as they deserve are available. we're taking, we took up a va appropriations bill in the house of representatives quite frankly is underfunds our va system. we have no problem with the borrowing money to senate halfway around the world but when it comes to dealing with problems including veterans care here in the united states, all of a sudden we're told we have a tough budget situation from we can't afford a.

it is important to see the landscaping rules and responsibility and breakdown into 3 broad areas in the stations that is on the top those - the elevators are maintained by bart for which we pay them an annual fee the escalators there are 14 in o stations mroind by us you move to the group of stations starting that van ness their controlled by us and those elevators and escalators within our rules and responsibilities there are a couple within is a couple of exemptions an elevator for example that is maintained by dpw 30u8 but for general purposes in the first category the impacts of riders the 4 stations with shared responsibility and then did outer stations we control and the reference to the 18 facilities or the elevators that exist in places like woods or film or our operating facilities that are used primarily for the employees so within those there's to point out considerable confusion among a lot of people who is responsible for what when, in fact, there's a violent responsibility in many of the key stations we've been moving forward? a shot of the elevators and square roots escal

because then you run into issues of escalatory response. so we need to consider and preplan our responses to these other types of attack. as i said -- and i think i bring it up again -- there is a limited time line here. when this happens, we can't then summon the first national security council meeting about it. and going back to what i mentioned about all of the government, whole of government part, is that the defense department tends to be very, very good at planning. they do branches and sequels, they do con plans and o plans and all that kinds of thing. the government as a whole does not. but you are going to have an interleaved way of political pressure, economic pressure, diplomatic pressure, steps you are going to take and they have got to be work together to be maximally effective. i said, one of the differences between ballistic missiles and other kinetic threats, particularly for the homeland is the time span from first action to war head arrival is shorter than other threats. cruise missiles, bombers, sea and land forces all ar

the department then contacted the parklet host multiple times with no response. after no response, the public works decided to schedule a public hearing to consider the issue. that hearing was held on march 26 of 20134 and as a result the hearing officer granted 60 days to address the renewal and mitigate the issues and minimize the complaints that were being received. after this, a follow-up e-mail was sent to the parklet tho*es remind of the renewal and that was sent directly after this hearing, there was no response and in the interim, public works began to receive further complaints regarding the same issues as previously noted and those can be seen in an e-mail, exhibit j. and, again like i said, the renewal was not completed so on october 28, 2014, public works prepared a final notice allowing 10 calendar days to finalize renewal or revocation would be considered. that was sent via e-mail to the e-mail that the parklet host provided to the department, it was also sent via certified mail and per the ups tracking that was received on october 29th allowing the

this is what an intelligence group is el thing us what is the official response and what more do you know about what may or may not have happened. >> well, just in the last few minutes they were asks about these reports and this is what he had to say. >> i am afraidky not give you a specific response on this particular strike. if -- we just don't talk about those and certainly not from this poted yum. i will say to the general question we continue to apply pressure there. >> and we have very little information other than what that intelligence reporting group you mention has been discussing that perhaps the elder son was killed with several others may have been killed but no other firm details in yemen and whether this is a new drone strike. more about our un -- begang his career really a a jihaddist in bass noah, he then caught the eye of al duda when he was in a training camp in afghanistan he then moved to the philippines. he then resurfaced around 2011 as part of u.q.a.p., as a spokesperson, very much part of the a.q.a.p. rivalry with the islamic state often denouncing the islami

but as an adult we are responsible for our lives, not the government or anyone else. and if parents were to get married, raise their children in the right way to go then barack obama and others could not come in and manipulate them in that manner. obama has an agenda and his agenda is to redistribute power and wealth. he said that he's going to send the department of justice out to baltimore to look into the situation because he wants to federalize the police departments around the country. that's what this is about. >> maybe he should look into and ask the justice department to look into the high unemployment rate, the absolutely disastrous economy of baltimore which is the direct result in large measure of liberal policies, so-called progressive policies, that simply deny men and women an opportunity for a job to build a life and to seize opportunity that is -- >> they don't want that. >> in almost every stance the result of this great free enterprise economy of ours. >> the idea that baltimore has been neglected is utter nonsense. this is a city based on the great

that's the secret service's responsibility. so what we do is we engage in the fact finding and hand it over to the secret service to do exactly what you suggest. >> ok. i'm still a little disappointed not in you but in that -- it would appear to me that would be cut and dry. >> sure. >> let me ask you about the two agents who were involved. when they arrived at the white house complex, the officer who stopped them asked them where are you coming from. >> right. >> and their answer was? >> secret service headquarters. >> and that turns out to be a blatant lie. >> that is not in fact true. correct. >> and what's the consequences of that? look we teach our children there are consequences to actions. this was an action. what is the consequence? >> sure. there is a secret service table of penalties that talks about the range of consequences for specific things and i can go through the specific ones with regard to examples. they have due process rights under the law. they have the ability to appeal it to the integrity officer as well

response response standpoint, i think the responders are doing everything they can do at this point. the real challenge is in the long-term cleanup as well as the long-term mitigation efforts that might follow as a result of that. and then holding the company accountable for the cost associated with the spill. i know that we've got a number of responders, i don't know the exact count of the local federal coordinator, coast guard captain in that region is responding to that. but we're quite concerned there's highly sensitive areas along the california coast there, and we want to make sure that we've addressed the potential for any follow-on spills that come out of that. i can provide the committee with a detail on that and be happy to do so for the record. >> you were the onseen coordinator for the bp oil spill, which this committee just had a hearing on, on its anniversary. could you give us maybe a sense of the coast guard response with state and other partners there? >> well, that was as you know, the bp oil spill was the largest oil spill in our history, and what made it particula

>> no, as i said, we have some responsibility.have not determined yet all of the rules of engagement under those circumstances but i think we have acknowledged that we'd have some responsibility towards, to support them. >> we'll go back to broadcast with jen griffin. >> two quick follow-ups, mr. secretary. in terms of aqap in yemen, there are reports that a top leader was taken out by a drone strike. the leader was involved in the charlie help doe attack. can you -- hebdo attack? can you confirm that? can you say clearly is the u.s. military planning to overtake texas as is being asserted by certain presidential candidates? [laughter] >> okay. well, i'll take the second one first. no. [laughter] with respect to the first one we -- i'm afraid i cannot give you a specific response on this particular strike. if -- we just don't talk about those and, certainly, not from this podium. i will say, though that to the general question of aqap in yemen, we continue to apply pressure there. obviously, the circumstances have changed in yemen

his response was, he slept in the bed. and honestly, while we might have chosen not to do that, i think in other ways, it is understandable that that is what he did. it was his home. so, willie clark is not a famous name, but he guided the interpretation of that space his bedroom for the immediate aftermath of the assassination because people came to visit him and they bothered him. they knocked on his door. it was his room. david mckenzie: in fact, one of the items that we have here in the lincoln collection is willie clark's letter to his sister back in massachusetts from a few days later. he wrote this actually on wednesday, april 19, 1865. four days after lincoln's death. and the big day of the funeral in washington. he talks about his life in the previous few days since the president died in his bed. he talks about all of the souvenir hunters that are coming into his house, day and night, to try and get some kind of relic. now, willie wasn't completely blameless in this because he also sent a few relics to his sister.

asean governments talk about responsibilities, this is the time to own up, to be responsible and to putleasure on myanmar to give citizenship rights to the rohingya, to remove them from the camps that they have been kept for 30, 40 years, this has to change on both sides. >> do you think the malasian government and other governments should put pressure on myanmar to treat the rohingya better and not flee their country. >> i think time has come for the asean governments to convene to impress on the government of myanmar that our policy towards the minorities including the rohingya has to stop and stop now. malaysia was one of the few countries that lobbied very strongly for myanmar to join the asean framework. so malaysia has a special possibilities. i think malaysia and indonesia has a special responsibility to impress upon the government of myanmar to respect the rohingyas and not discriminate based on race religion and skin color. >> thank you from malaysia. still ahead in al jazeera in a state where capital punishment is unpopular a jury gives the boston marathon bomber the ultimate
