private security. this is inescapable within the country and neitherlands the information sharing of a -- i mentioned an area. they work closely with key organizes in each area. together in close corporation with the ncsc we have national cyber security center. they face challenges ahead. they help each other and share information about it. in other initiatives it's concern. it could be translated from strong and robust. it's part of the resilient program. to elevate the awareness and keep it resilient. there is information sharing activities, training, and cyber security with members. there are a lot of successful initials and the organizes in the private and public sector. doing private security. international collaboration and information sharing we can add value and also learn from this and keep learning. >> thank you madam minister. we'll take five minutes of q and a and we'll have remarks from karen andrews. this question while intended for the secretary the question is what specifically is dhs p

maritime public security is a key issue for the netherlands. and matter of national security. whether it be the seat search to protect our country from the sea, from amsterdam does maritime security is connected to it all. the importance of maritime cybersecurity is also underscored by the war in ukraine. that is in two respects. first, the disruption of food and energy supply and one part of the world can have its effect around the globe. when seconds, it's underscored an essential role for transporting strategic and military equipment. this reality with step up of maritime cybersecurity. we wholeheartedly welcome the upcoming symposium in may together with our values and international partners. thank you mr. secretary for hosting this and long beach, los angeles. let us act together. >> thank you madame minister. wonderful opening remarks by both of you for economic growth. 25000 to you madame minister having a dependent so much looking for to this discussion. let me start by asking quite blankly thought you were, what does it look like for that maritimeus industry? >> we ha

security will be in order. without, objection the chair is authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point. good afternoon. the committee is meeting today to review the fiscal year 2023 budget request for the department of homeland security. i welcome our witness, secretary of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas. and i look for it to engaging with him on the budget request and other matters before the department. just over a year ago, the biden administration inherited a department of homeland security beleaguered by four years under president trump. vacancies in key leadership positions flagging employ morale and gross mismanagement left to left the department in bad shape. and the american people less secure. the biden administration has prioritized rebuilding the h s and supporting it's more than 250,000 brave, hardworking men and women. under secretary mayorkas leadership, dhs has filled critical vacancies, chris management and provided funding rights for frontline workers. meanwhile, dhs as fa

unfortunately, because of the russian veto in the security council, i, it is not clear that the security council could take immediate action. but the un, the us should address these serious war crimes that are being commanded in ukraine . these crimes should be investigated and refer to the international criminal court . and furthermore, the countries of the o, i am a particular, the democracies. i need to lean on russia, do everything that can get rushed to exit your crime. russia needs to leave your crime and be told that it is non negotiable, that believe every inch of ukrainian territory. where's the euro need to make sure there's a pendant? as a lensky is calling for a reform. ok, we've just lost our gas bear. that was richard painter, professor, professor of law at the university of minnesota. we'll see if we can bring him back into the show later on. for now though, let's turn to our next story. russia has denied accusations that its troops committed. war crimes in boucher reclaims the bodies found on boutros. the streets only appeared after its forces withdrew from the town. but

social security is passed in 1935. social security act passed in 1935. what if you are 65 or 70 years old when the legislation is passed? you obviously are too old probably or even unable to work so you can't contribute, you can't get into the system, but you still need help. that's the purpose for the oaa. people who get sort of caught in between when the social security program is going to start. the law was passed in 1935. deductions from paychecks doesn't really start until 1937 and benefits -- they thought officially the benefits would not start until 1942 and they later changed that and upped it to 1940, so my point is you are going to have needy people before they can get real money from social security. how do you do that? you do it with the old age assistance. what do you do with households where there is no breadwinner, there is no father or husband, a person that can get into social security by working and contributing? what do you do with a mother and two children in 1935 and social security, if you look at it in terms of old age pension fund

it already has a security deal. and it also is a very complicated and intertwined relationship with the solomon islands. you know, as, as we mentioned the report, it's a 2 hour flight from brisbin am and the south pacific is seen very much as australia's backyard it's sphere of influence. and it gives $1300000000.00 us dollars every year in development aid. and it has various other security guarantees when there was on rest, their november last year, they sent em security forces their tuition to shore up the unrest. so they do have this very complicated relationship. but am, it's also very, a difficult balancing act in many ways for australia, as we can see in a quote here from from scott morrison as a friend of solomon islands, we remain their 1st call for security. we remained the 1st call when it comes to the issues that concern them right across their development. i the suggestion that somehow some seem to be making that that solomon islands is on somehow under the control of the strider, i think is offensive to

so social security. sounds radical and for american politics in the in the time period it is by today's standards though and by european standards, it's quite quite modest francis perkins secretary of labor and notice what she is wearing. she's following the style of the day. anybody know the superlative that she gets in american history. she is the first woman to serve in cabinet and she's going to be the secretary of labor. for the entire roosevelt presidency 1933 to 1945. and there is basically the idea that among historians and people at the time that she gets the lion's share of the credit. for social security and let me read a quote from her. the real roots the social security act were in the great depression of 1929. nothing else would have bumped the american people into a social security system except something so shocking so terrifying as that. depression so again if social security is a rather dramatic step in the 1930s. the reason for it is when you have a crisis and economic crisis on the sc

and turkish troops are not securing the area about the sodium ports. us now are securing the area which call themselves as it pretty story. an army coordinator is in the turkish operations, let's say on and just getting the border security with a very limited depth insight. the sodium border, not that operation. you know, the copier. i left for the my school and the other cities. but what is it? i'm sure you remember, and i remember that for sure is a workers funding. they cover that from the ground. it is true that the for now the trick is present to present limited to about i think, $15000.00 trucks and it's mostly alongside the truck is going, but used to be much larger. as you know, i'm sure you're afraid of the russian allegation supported by the satellite images jerky was running a lot of time. well, what should i say? contraband oil operations in that country. its presence is presence. not only a military, most commercial presence and political presence used to be much larger in french, don't you think so? jackie has a issues other than the mr. operations inside stories also limi

so where is the security that the security council needs to guarantee? it is not there although there is a security council, so where are those guarantees? it is obvious the key institution of the world which must ensure the coercion of peace simply cannot work effectively. now the world can see that what the russian military dad while keeping the city under their occupation. but the world has yet to see what they have done in other occupied cities and regions of the country. geography might be different, but cruelty is the same, the crimes are the same, and accountability must be an inevitable. ladies and gentlemen, i would like to remind you of article one, chapter one of the un charter. what is the purpose of our organization? the purpose is to maintain peace and make sure that peace is adhered to and now they violated literally starting with article one. and if so, what is the point of all other articles? today as a result of russia's action in our country, in ukraine, the most terrible war crimes of all kinds are we see since the end of world war ii

security architecture. it's economic repercussions are already evans, evident far from the battlefield. the longer the war continues, the greater the risk that it will further weaken the global institutions and mechanisms dedicated to preserve peace and security. the war was started by choice . there is no inhibit ability to it or to the suffering it is causing. the united nations is ready to do everything when it's means to help bring an end to it. thank you madam president. i thank mister caller for her briefing, and i now give the floor to mister melton. griffith's thank you met him for getting me a code from the secretary general. and mister general, the caller ukrainian civilians are paying far too high for this war. i want to speak briefly about humanitarian needs and what we're doing to meet them before and then refer to my recent travels. and the last 6 weeks, as we have had at least 1430 people are being killed among them. over a 121 children and we know this is very likely a serious underestimate.

to sign security treaties that would ensure security of all nations in the euro, atlantic region including ukraine. everybody new ukraine was the proverbial apple of discord that tapped into much bigger global problems. and figured this process we propose to agree on ensuring security for all nations collectively, without expanding any military and political blocks, the us and nato listened to us politely and then said they won't be able to curb the expansion. it will go against the open door policy. they said we studied the north atlantic treaty article turn says nothing about open doors is allowed to invite new members upon member states agreement if they meet the requirements. and more importantly, if new members can strengthen the security of the alliance, you know, open doors leave invited monta, negro, north macedonia under bayne. yet, how could these state strengthen the security of lions? if its purpose is defense? this shows that the expansion of nato has nothing to do with its former goals. they expand their 30 on the us leadership to strengthen the u. s. lead unipolar world. we

so the main difference between them is about securing the border. for example, let's give you an analogy that most co say is that if you create part of the space, nato, then the nato armaments including emanation santa reference systems, will be as close as 500 kilometers to moscow. and it is a huge security problem from the perspective of russia. this can be discuss about maybe russia is right. but can you imagine that if 500 kilometers is a huge threat to the security of russia, which ma'am we share might be acceptable. how can turkey let the y p g forces, which is sort of, especially by the united states just on the border, which is shooting every day to the turkey cities is acceptable. you mentioned eva, and i know that president arizona was many turkish and military analysts commented on leaders present the american presence in syria as detrimental to check to security in the united states and nominally allies, russia and the united states. i'm not l. i stand straight adversaries. that's region and all the strategic documents, at least as far a

so where is the security that the security council needs to guarantee? it's not there, although there is a security council. so where is the peace? what were those guarantees that the united nations needs to guarantee? it is obvious that the key institution of the world, which must ensure the coercion of any aggressor simply cannot work effectively. now, the world can see that the russian -- what the russian military did in bucha while keeping the city under their occupation. but the world has yet to see what they have done in other occupied cities and regions of our country. geography might be different, but cruelty is the same. crimes are the same. and accountability must be inevitable. ladies and gentlemen, i would like to remind you of article 1, chapter 1 of the u.n. charter. what is the purpose of our organization? law will its purpose is to maintain peace and make sure that peace is adhered to. and now the u.n. charter is violated literally starting with the article 1. and if so, what is the point of all other articles? today, as a result of russi

national security or border security. thank you. >> thank you for your service. >> the gentleman yields back. >> yes, i yield back. my time is done. >> mr. bishop? >> thank you mister chairman. it's useful to have a follow-up opportunity when seeking answers from you mister secretary. we were together yesterday when i was in a homeland security. mr. gates's questions or to put a fine point on something for me. i asked you yesterday about americans who may be subject to crimes committed by the 836,000 that are released into the country. what you have to say to them? we went back and forth because i was having a hard time getting a straight answer, ultimately you went back to when i hear you say a lot. that they have the right to assert and asylum claim. but when you hear the real numbers and what mr. gates just ask you about, let's get the real numbers. there is 836,000 people released, there are 600,000 give or take, got a ways that border patrol knows they were not able to capture. because they are distracted by changing

the security council should guarantee? well, or where ahead of mister zalinski speech show you as secretary general antonio terrace in his opening remarks called for investigations into the atrocities and expressed concern over reports of rape and sexual violence with me here in the studio is the thomas sparrow. thomas, what jumped out at you. i mean, he, he called out the un, he called out the world saying, listen, this is what's happening in my country. you need to step up. if i had to summarize the lensky speech with one sentence that he gave, i would certainly say, where is the security? the security council needs to guarantee. and he answers that himself by saying not there. there was a very strong criticism, not only to the members of the united nations security council, the permanent members, but also the rotating members. but it was in general, also strong criticism towards the international community that has so far failed to guarantee that security that he's referring to not. this is not necessarily a new debate

national security. energy and climate and national security. is only becoming more relevant good the intersection between foreign and domestic policy. covid i think has introduced or elevated the kind of question of biosecurity, pandemic preparedness in a different way than how it existed before. so i added directorates to the national security council. we have a different consolation of actors around the table, a broader consolation of actors around the table thatn what was previously. i would say that's the biggest way in which things have evolved from the time president obama was involved. -- evolved. >> what time do you have for relaxation or getting in shape? do you exercise any more? do you have time for that? do you have any time for staying just healthy? >> not really. and in fact, yes, i'm not, i'm not in fighting shape physically. hopefully i'm still in emotional good shape. i do try to exercise. i would say the thing i have probably fallen down on the job most since beginning has been keeping up a really good exercise regimen and sle

border security to nationall security issues. then there's the other source and focus of detention in addition to public safety it's making sure people appear for their immigration proceedings and we have separate independent efforts underway to achieve that. >> at the gentleman's time is expired. >> mr. sec., i thank you for your testimony and the members for all their questions. the members of the committee may have additional questions and we ask that you respond expeditiously in writing to those questions. the chair reminds members that the record will remain open for ten business days. without objection, the committee stands adjourned.

, but relative security? if not for all done at least for let's say, some are configuration, some group of, of countries in the region. you're sure you're right. thank you. were saying that there is no switch to the absolute quality this submit. but depending upon your environment, who are you in a fringe word, your neighbors do try to workshop. for example, marcus, during this last 20 years, the effort was, if the idea is to get the americans out because that we considered to be the mentor, north indians reached out to it on mended sensors with them because there are some problem stuck in the journey. they're always good problems. i am a beneficiary of you know, are people at that time g, creating bridges for moscow? i was there to so trace because we all believe that these 45 country se used to you and call them again, will follow that very interesting. common. the commonality of interest will take you somewhere. as long as those common interest will be at america, will there be with on that particular thin

i finish with this security we see copper representation. uh, developing countries, i need to change my questions to the minister. lavrov ah. first question. please tell us how russia responded to the ukrainian side's proposal to hold a special round of talks on the territory of mariupol. the second question. and how what measures are being taken by the russian side in in regards to the build-up of the americans did not put to arms kim thank you yes, i heard about such a theatrically presented proposal of the ukrainian negotiating team. here is the team that communicated with our negotiators in belarus in turkey and then hold the next meeting in mariupol right at the walls via video conference. azov steel. well, i can say that the theatrical gesture is really ukrainians love to stage everything, apparently they wanted to. uh, one more heartbreaking scene to stage, if we are talking about serious attitude to work. as part of the negotiations, it would be better if they quickly responded to our proposals, which i have been repeating for more t

information security companies, which scrambling to find hackers and security people. so they went from obscurity doing their passion to being in demand. china's 1st hackers contributed to the country's incredible rise to become the world's 2nd largest economy. now u. s. officials claim beijing is deploying it cyber force to surpass the united states by stealing industrial secrets from america's biggest companies. ah, i'm john carland and i served most my career, the justice department when i was a prosecutor, i went to a secure facility is still number going on on the trip, where there was a task force house above long foresman intelligence. and there was a giant jumbotron screen in the background sizes of a movie, theater type screen. and they were tracking in real time what china, what chinese threat actors in particular were doing to us companies. and they'd steal the research and development, intellectual property that the trade negotiation strategies from that company. and we'd watch a go back out of the united states and hop back to, to china. so we decided to h

known as, as a national security. that is where you see wagner really step in a good example in the center. i've got a public on in my molly, because if you recall after the coin miley, we'll have some more, some on risk, and then it was the 2nd cool. and then you, you, we had attended us as an issue on assuming that the head of the joint are not long after we saw wagner deploying to the country. and then we saw this almost the same script car where the, the clues coordination between wagner and the secret apparatus, particularly the presidential security or the security of the head of states. so i have, i believe, to provide a kind of that kind of service. but what is missing from the service is the fact that become necessary. so the, the new, the, the root causes of the problem that this countries and governments are facing. and in that regard, does shock coming mix them in a bit handicapped for what africans going to that might be considering the option because it just doesn't have the long term capabilities knew t

so all the talk about potential security guarantees. well is a bit too mature. peter, what's your assessment of this talk of security guarantees is, is this just rhetoric goes there is a, could it actually leads to, to something the basis of some sort of discussion that the very least well, i absolutely agree with the previous speaker. you know, this is not a very tenable topic on the decisive battle. what is promising to be a decisive battle, you know, with, with tank armies and artillery. this is what the ukrainian side is saying. we should be expecting a new queen is getting heavy weaponry as well. not only defensive but offensive on, you know, so we are looking. we're staring at a very, very difficult scenario in the next 2 weeks. and keep in mind that main 9 to the sacred in a deed in account is over the nazi germany plat map which is gonna have to pull up some victories to show you the subjects during the military breed. so it's all going to be obviously decided on the battlefield, not diplomatically after that. and blood malesky has said this, you know, h

security council. he is demanding security guarantees from his country. as we see evidence of a massacre in the kyiv suburb of bucha. officials say well over 300 ukrainians were tortured and killed there. the kremlin is, again, denying russian forces slaughtered civilians even though we see it with our own eyes. this as cnn teams see bodies pulled from basements in that town. antony blinken spoke about those images moments ago. >> what we see in bucha is not the random act of a rogue unit. it's a deliberate campaign to kill, to torture, to rape, to commit atrocities. >> deliberate campaign. that's the basis for war crimes charges. also new this morning, the port city of mariupol rocked once again by russian troops. it's been suffering as well. officials say a civilian ship sonis on fire sinking into the coast of asov as russian forces continue to block evacuation convoys meant to rescue civilians from that city. >> cnn's brianna keilar joins us now from lviv in eastern ukraine. brianna, president volodymyr zelenskyy is about to address the u.n. security c

expense of the security of others. we call upon the united states, nate whole and the european union to engage in comprehensive dialogues with roger to face had on their differences accumulated over the years. ready find solutions to the problem and promote the building of a balanced, effective, and sustainable regional security framework. on the usual of ukraine, china does not seek geopolitical self interest. it is not our mindset to watch the situation indifferently from the site lie, let alone do anything to add food to their fire. there's only one goal, we sincerely look forward to, and that is peace. china will continue to promote peace dogs and play a constructive and responsible role in helping resolve the crisis in your grey. i thank you madam president. i thank the representative of china for his statement and i now give lot live once again to chris is salumi f from the united nations headquarters in new york as that un security council meeting takes place. kristen, we just heard from the representatives of b

arms were directly from us and we will provide security recommendations and a security assessment of your home office and make recommendations and we will coordinate with local police and sheriff's department an individual's homee office to ensure they are aware of the needs and can be aware of threats or individuals we are concerned about. all of that can be shared with local law enforcement but will do an assessment whether local office or someone's residence we provide thosese services can do that even better with more capacity because there is more of a demand so this will assist us in making sure we can meet the work demand we have. >> thank you and i know my time has run out and the chair has been interested in member security and hopefully we can continue that conversation and seess how to deal with that isse as well and members of congress and their security and family. thank you so much. >> the judgment from nevada. >> first of all, i didn't see you, i thought you were going to pop up on the screen. sorry. >> i probably was until i found out all of the w newve square footage

>> continue to partner and provide additional security. they have port security now. for fentanyl, those precursors often come into ports. we want to interdict much of the precursor chemicals that come into mexico. >> with my remaining time, you mentioned taiwan a second ago. it's no secret beijing would love to seize taiwan, and we also know that if they attempted to do that they would seek to prevent us from deploying forces from the west coast into the theater. tell me about your concerns about china's ability to strike military targets in the homeland using cyber capabilities. >> china possesses extensive cyber capabilities. they reside with sissa, and general easterly and my role is to provide defense supportive civil authorities in the case of municipalities and what we don't know is the unknown. we don't know where the vulnerabilities are because of the way we are set up across multiple agencies, across multiple industries and that we rely on volunteering their information for cyber vulnerabilities. >> got it. thank you both for your service again. general rich

and in their military and security services. these people could squirrel them away and bring them up in the future, or for, for their nefarious political purposes. the us defense secretary said he wants to see russia both weakened and depleted, so it couldn't repeat what it's done in ukraine. can we only read into about the washington actually doesn't really wants any quick resolution to the conflict. no washington is trying to prolong the conflict. and that's because it's trying to wear russia down. and it's trying to hope that the russian people will get fed up with the war. and they, the u. s. has an agenda here and that they agenda has always been and in the ukraine they've been, they've been creating a de facto nato government, a nato state at the idea is to move natal right up to the borders of russia and then subject russia to the same fate of the former yugoslavia which is to dismember russia and so. busy they are, they, they are in, in the mode of trying to provoke and prolong this war in order to weaken russia, so that

a matter of national security. whether it is we see surge barriers that protect our country from the sea, the famous canals in amsterdam, or europe's main logistic hub, maritime security is connected to it all. the importance of maritime cybersecurity is also underscored by the terrible war in ukraine. in two respects. first, it has shown that the destruction of food and energy supplies in one part of the world can have its effect around the globe. the second, it is underscored as the essential sea harbor serve for strategic and military equipment. this reality further urges us to step up our maritime cybersecurity. therefore, i wholeheartedly welcome the symposium in may to act upon this necessity. together, we are valuable international partners. thank you mister secretary for hosting this year, in los angeles. and let us act now let us act together also, on cybersecurity. thank you madam minister. wonderful opening remarks by both of you. 5. 4 trillion dollars in economic growth. madam minister, having a nation

so one security architecture is the asia as 6 security architecture, which has been conceived by china, fully backed by russia. as this is pivoted on the built and road initiative, which russia supports. the 2nd architecture is the endo pacific architecture, which is america lift. it is led by the americans. there's a big difference between the 2. and the big difference is that the bacon load initiative, it is structured at all. and if i may use once in days, it is of old shared prosperity and cooperative security. i mean, it's a subject doctors liggett of google energy. we can actually narrow it down to one similar assist. the other thing, whether there is one beneficiary of old, the world, or whether they can be meaning grace at deriving the benefit from living together on this. right? right. so now coming to the american teen america does not have any answer to debate to lord initiative. a medical always think saddam's of deterrence and the corner school of the dungeons, his defense not to day, the american military fees that they are not really up to the levels. and therefore under

he was saying you give a list of countries that could be security guarantors. i want to ask 1st of all, and i'm told i'm going to stay with you. what is your understanding of what is involved in being a security guarantor under circumstances like this? well, that is extremely interesting question, and i do not quite understand what service security guarantees mean and the moment, i mean when the talk of it initially came up, it was, i think, fraser, something close to the article, 5 of nato, which sounds quite bizarre because russian side actually dot com and all that much on that because they knew quite well that this is something you were a p, a nation would not be able to provide to brain. so this is all rhetoric. i mean it's nothing, no one could guarantee grain to intervene. to give it more that it's already giving at the moment or to give something that it was brain was denied, for instance, defacto membership of nater. so i don't really think that at this point we're quite there yet to be discussing would be the security guarantees. because the war is st

so one security architecture is the asia pacific security architecture, which has been conceived by china, fully backed by russia. and this is pivoted on the built and road initiative, which russia supports. the 2nd architecture is the endo pacific architecture, which is a medical lift. it is led by the americans not there's a big difference between the 2. and the big difference is that the 1000000000 load initiative it is structured at old, if i may use once in days. it is of old shared prosperity and cooperative security . i mean, it's a subject that as we get off to discuss energy, we can actually narrow it down to one similar assist. the other thing, whether there is one beneficiary of all the world or whether they can be meaning grace at deriving the benefit from living together on this. right? right. so now coming to the american teen america does not have any answer to the bay to lord initiative. a medical always think symptoms of deterrence and the corner school of redundancies defense not today. the american military ha fee is that they are not really up to the levels. and theref

we should be promoting peace and security. and we have to make sure that that is front and center of what we do and what the secretary-general does in his efforts to push forward his own agenda. mr. coulibaly: yeah, here at brookings, we share with our bodies involving the reform process, our research. and i think you mentioned the u.n. specifically, but i believe other multilateral institutions, world bank, who, reforms to be benefit and to address the challenges of the 21st century. especially the u.n. inspiring other institutions to take those meaningful reforms. if i can now talk about the sustainable development goals, which it has been seven years since the country around the world have come together to establish the u.n. sustainable development goals. 2015 was the target date of 2030 -- with the targeted of 2030. progress has been slowing with many countries off-track. covid set some countries back and ukraine crisis i suspect is not going to help either. so how do you assess the progress on the agenda globally? but als

we started too late in providing security assistance to ukraine. we cannot make the same mistake with taiwan. supporting an island during a war will be much more difficult. we must support existing sales to taiwan, and we should use security assistance to help taiwan acquire additional capabilities. in march, chairman menendez and i spearheaded an effort to get funding into the appropriate package for security assistance to taiwan. i agree with senator shelby's comments that we should spend more to help with taiwan's defense. secretary blinken, i hope you can commit to that in today's hearing. turning to the middle east, it is clear that america's relationship with our middle east partners is in desperate need of work. these are long-term partnerships we need to maintain. instead of america as a steadfast partner, our friends have seen increasingly restrictive security assistance policies, the botched afghanistan withdrawal, a failed iran approach, and a lukewarm embrace of the abraham accords. the biden administration's policies have reinforced a

the area and turkish troops are not securing the area about the sodium portion now are securing area which call themselves as it pretty story an army. for this reason, the turkish operations, let's say on and just getting the border security with a very limited dep inside the sodium border. not an operation. you know, the car, you're, i left for the mass schools and other cities. but what is it that i'm sure you remember? and i remember that for sure is as a workers fund and i cover that from the ground. it is true that the for now the trick is present to present limited to about i think, $15000.00 trucks and it's mostly alongside the truck is going to be much larger. and as you know, i'm sure you've heard of the russian allegation supported by the satellite images jerky was running a lot of time. well, what should i say? contraband oil operations in that country. its presence is presence, not only a military, most commercial presence and political presence used to be much larger in the french, don't you think so? jackie has a other than the mr. operation inside storia is also limite
