would you describe a little bit for us in what ways are the mlps 's duplicate of the rmps? ms. macgregor: what i can say is in the wake of united states congress making a determination and passing legislation to throw back the planning 2.0 regulation, we are taking an in depth look at our planning process, because we recognize no matter what project members have on either side of the aisle the planning process at the department takes on average 5 to 7 years, often more. so as we look at planning in the department and consider how we can do things more efficiently, we're evaluating whether the master leasing program is an added step on top of an existing planning process. does it actually increase efficiencies or is it another step? we're looking at that as well as many other issues. rep. tipton: great. i was a little encouraged. that is the one thing we heard of a number of our constituents in terms of some of the different timeframes we have regulations, i believe your bill will be able to stream line those. look at the overlap and to be able to do that in a responsible way. s

. >> i understand your concerns, and i think the entire planning process done through rmps at the bureau of land management will ensure we manage well and that we find that balance. >> well, let's talk about that balance. let's talk about according to blm budget there were 2,552, 2,552 drilling permits currently pending at the end of the last fiscal year, and it seems taking care of this backlog and issuing permits as quickly as possible is a high priority for the department. i believe it is true, it is good to be efficient. permit processing shouldn't take longer than needs to do, and i think some of those issues have been raised. but we don't need to tell people out there that there's a huge backlog of permits that need to be addressed and potentially at the risk of not doing thorough environmental reviews, not evaluating protest, not dealing with other activities because is it not true that the number of unprocessed permits is currently the lowest it's been since 2005? so really we have the smallest backlog that we've had in over a decade, is that not true? >> i'm sure that's true, bu

that's all for now. 0n abuse rmp is, one viewer says: these people should be punished and should be behindwe have to remember that mps are human, sort of! and another viewer says: they need to get over themselves. paul says, says: they need to get over themselves. paulsays, on briton they might consider not screaming at each other like three—year—olds during pmqs. hughes is with us with this poor, and adam peaty is on fire! well, he's an incredible athlete — already, at the age of 22, we are talking about adam peaty as if he could well become britain's greatest—ever swimmer. he's already won a gold medal at the world aquatics championships in the 100 metres breakstroke. yesterday morning we mentioned a new world record in the 50 metres breastroke heats and last night he only went and did it again. another world record in his semifinal last night, and with it, the defending champion became the first person to go under the 26 second mark. if he wins this afternoon's final, he'll repeat his double world title achievement of two years ago. and you wouldn't bet against him doing it, especially

but the outfitting of rmps, radio motor patrols.now, it's interesting you bring up the symbolism and the outfitting of the cars in police colors. you know, it's those very symbol of authority most people respect the cops that have made the cops a target for psychopathic individuals. if you're going to hit a government symbol, why hit the cops? they're the ones with the cops and shoot back. but it's because they're symbols of stability and authority that these guys go after them. steve: and going back to september 2014 when that guy simply targeted the two officers because their uniforms. ramos and lou. this is reminiscent of that because it also took place in a car. but what's to stop an unstable person and, by the way, the suspect who is now dead in this case, apparently was arrested before for roughing up a cop. what's to stop from shooting somebody, assassinating a police officer walking the beach? >> steve, this is what gets me really worried late at night and a lot of cops friends of mine, still, as a matter of fact, i'm visiti

rmp 218 with the senate text s. 101. section 7 of the underlying bill waives the nepa process because the nepa process has been completed in 2014 under sec he tear joule. environmental impact statement has been published. secretary jewell ignored the health and public safety aspects that killed people because we don't have a vode. -- a road. there's no reason to make the people go through the time-consuming, expensive process again when it was done so recently. the people of king cove fought for this road for 40 years. people have literally tied because of the welcome of this road to cold bay that has a 6,000 foot airstrip. again, i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. i reserve. the chair: prurpfut -- for what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition? mr. grijalva: i claim time in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. grijalva: i rise in opposition to thement. while it was described as a technical amendment to conform the bill to the senate version, it does muc

for the past three years the royal military police, the rmp, have been investigating hundreds of casesafghanistan. yesterday the sunday times reported claims of a cover up of dozens of unlawful killings by what the newspaper described as a ‘rogue' sas unit. the sunday times reported that fewer than ten cases are now being actively investigated by the rmp and just one of them is a case of unlawful killing involving a 2011 sas operation in helmand province. 0ur defence editor mark urban has been following these allegations for years and can now add something to the story for us. take us through the allegations. essentially, if you talk to people who have been involved with special operations in afghanistan, there is a widespread belief that the sas at times was using excessive force or stop that might be at the extreme end, getting people who should have been taken prisoner, and going right the way back to such things like so—called tactical questioning, a practice they ramped up in iraq in the 2000s and also took to afghanistan, quite rough interrogation of people on site. where raids w
