election security has first called the 2020 election the most secure in american history. in the year with historically high turnout during a global pandemic. it's hard to square that with what happened next. the outgoing president ratcheted up the disinformation campaign he had been carrying out for weeks. rather than accept his loss, the former president asked his loyalists to the baseless claims of voter fraud at a scale never seen in history to explain his defeat. despite the absurdity and lack of evidence, president trump was somehow able to parlay this message into a campaign so effective that he convinced 145 republican members of this very chamber to vote against certification of the election results. that same day, thousands of trump supporters mobbed the u.s. capitol with nooses, bear spray, zip ties and inflicting serious or even fatal injuries on capitol police officers sent here to protect and serve. we as a nation will be dealing with the fallout from the 2020 elections for a long time to come. today, election denialists are running for office across the coun

security. it was before sieber really a thing. -- cybersecurity was really a thing. this community understood protecting the industry and the facilities that house our chemicals. this year we celebrate a milestone. 1.5 decades of successful partnership and collaboration with the 15th anniversary of our program. that is why i am -- as we celebrate the maturity of the program i want to reauthorize -- restate that reauthorization in 2023 is a high priority. we cannot lose momentum in the efforts to prevent chemical terrorism. nice threat is real. my team and i are really focused on that in particular. i would be remiss if i did not take the opportunity to thank our chemical security inspectors. i know there are probably some in the room here and some watching for our regions. they work day in and day out to ensure the security of all our facilities as part of this program. i am proud of everything they have been doing. i am proud of everything we do to offer voluntary services, whether it is risk-

measures for our security partners. for that reason, congress authorized the department of defense, energy, justice and homeland security to use technologies designed to respond to uas that pose a threat within their mission responsibilities. you are directing the faa to work with these agencies to ensure that detection and mitigation measures do not compromise the safety and efficiency of the airspace. the faa's chief role is to support our partners' testing and eventual use of these detection and mitigation systems, many of which use radio frequency and other technologies that could potentially interfere with air navigational systems, communication avionics systems which are all critical to safety of flight. along with developing our plans for certification of uas detection and mitigation systems, the faa is also tasked with testing and evaluating these technologies for potential use near airports. we and our security partners have developed agency specific and jointly agreed upon processes to determine when, how, and

an agreement on a demilitarized perimeter should be secured. specifically, that will include the commitment by russian forces to withdraw all military personnel and equipment from that perimeter. and the commitment by ukrainian forces not to move into its operators at the plant must be able to carry out their responsibilities. and communications must be maintained. now is the time to urgently agree on concrete measures to ensure the safety of the area. mister president's regrettably last month's the tense review conference of the parties stood at 3 t on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons fell victim to the war in ukraine. the outcome document software, the as the issue of the safety and security of nuclear power plants, unarmed conflict zones, including in ukraine. but the confidence failed to reach consensus to utilize the opportunity to strengthen the 3 ti. i appealed to all states to use every avenue of dialogue and diplomacy to make progress on this critical issues. mr. president, looking ahead, i trust that the i a yay, experts now t

we secure the stockpile.ts of really critical things that you want to keep a very secure, and this woman who's got lots of experience in nuclear engineering and running the power plants as i used to think we're safe because we just keep the old analog technology, we would have to worry about anything because nobody could get to it. and that's just a true anymore. first of all we can keep our nuclear analog immigrant cycling we can assume because a lot of analog technology in that plant there is that some way to get into it. so back to your point about look, we're going to isolate those things as much as we possibly can when the navy isolated. so things like nuclear weapon the manufacture, nuclear power plants come with going to try to keep those and were going to what all the tools and techniques that we have, like least privilege, like authentication but keep in mind these are operational technology systems and you talk about ten years in healthcare. we have systems that are 30, 40, 50, six years that aren't

defense and intelligence colonel of the security service of ukraine about the service security of ukraine1 years ago, on september 20, she appeared and was replaced by the kdb. well, let's talk about volunteers, they, we, sometimes this service is also involved, in particular, not so long ago, at the beginning of september, there were searches, we remember they came defiantly about the search to the lviv volunteer programmer and the scientist svyatoslav lytinsky in particular. he reported about this on his facebook and he will be on our broadcast. and i will just remind you who litynsky is since the beginning of russia's war against ukraine since the 14th, every year he helps servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine on february 24, already when russia began a full-scale invasion of the territory of ukraine, he intensified his activities and began to bring cars for the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine from abroad , well, we know that this is all done by the regime. transport forms

council table, 50 members of the security council. there is no, the town procedural matters. they would lose that procedural vote. so i think the meeting now with the french president, boston declared that the review is going to get under way and we're going to hear the 50 members of the security council. we're also going to hear from the political chief of the united nations, raised me to carlo and she's expected, i think, to reaffirm the points that made by the un secretary general when he last spoke to the security council last thursday, meeting at foreign minister level. that the un certainly doesn't recognize these referenda and certainly going to hear from some of the western countries who say they are sham referenda that are taking place right now. in easton, ukraine. we're going to hear from all of the members of the security council, one to watch, i think will be linda thomas greenfield. the us ambassador, because we have in the us is going to introduce a resolution condemning these ref. and in the coming days, we know what's

security issues. he has served as the commissioner at the election assistance commission and office staff at the or how office. the witnesses. will be inserted in the record and i asked each witness to summarize his statement for five minutes beginning with miss ramachandran. >> date november 20 20 election was considered the most secure in history -- u.s. history. taking these steps seriously requires -- i will cover three topics. i will describe what went right in 2020. the eac -- voters all played a role with support from congress. i will describe the threat of the election sabotage movement. lies about the 2020 election not only undermine for confidence but they lead to security risks nav election system. i will address how election infrastructure can be bolstered against the threat with financial resources and incentivizing two integrity measures. in 2016, 1 in five voters cast a vote using a voting system but in 2020, an estimated 96% did paper voting. -- to alter the outcome of the presidential

secure the border. also what didn't he believe in? he didn't lead with trade with communist nations, he didn't believe in it such as china and you see where we are now also what he didn't believe in was the cia. >> when you say you served under carter and reagan, did you serve in the military, federal jobs? >> at a high level, we didn't need to get into that. staff it changed. my mission statement would change at the end of the year when reagan gotten and i thought this won't affect me, it affected me within a month, it affected us and mission statement changed and we were more defined. it was great and cap politics out of the military back then. now look where it sat. >> running short on time trying to get colors in. carlos in denver city texas, good morning. >> good morning. first of all, i am an american. on abortions, i don't see why we have to pay for it. let them pay for it out of their pocket. there won't be a problem if they pay out-of-pocket. why do we taxpayers have to pay for it? that's wrong

the 4th item is security guarantees. every nation has the right to security guarantees, not only the largest nation, not only the most fortunate. once we have proposals to upgrade the security architecture for ukraine and for euro and the world which will not allow any more aggression against us. we are already presenting them to partners proposals for legally binding multilateral and by lazarus treaties. these are the conditions for that guarantors to act and their timeline for their actions to bring results, resolved on land, at sea, and in the ear in diplomacy and politics, in economy and finance. in providing weapons and intelligence, each of you will receive the tax follow up is form off. we'll also see that details . oh, what we offer as security guarantees. i do not want to compare our offers with it, guarantees of any alliances that exist on the planet. now i want to stress that it is always much better to guarantee the security of a nation preventively rather than to stop a war after it has already begun. and th

peace and security. it lies in the unjust doubledealing acts of the united states and some u.n. member states. the un security council does not say even a single world -- word about the high-handed arbitrary, reckless war crimes of the united states. only accusing us of our righteous efforts to support national defense capabilities on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that the un security council has lost its competence and authority to act when it performs its duty to maintain international peace and security. as long as the double standards, unfairness, high handedness of the united states are not removed, decisions and resolutions adopted by the security council cannot have reasonable binding force nor the attributes of global peace and security. to put an end to the high handedness of these countries, including the united states, at the risk of the international security council community, with the sampling of these developing countries for the majority of the u.n. membership, as issued in the impartial

security. secure electra systems in the world. political analysts says your process says that sparking this controversy is dangerous for brazil's democracy. i think the presidential boston on who's doing this because he won't accept the results of the election if he loses. and so he needs an excuse. he needs or narrative, he needs to tell a story about why he lost and who is behind this and if there's a judicial conspiracy or leftist confederacy conspiracy to support him out of office. for recent polls show that 7 out of every 10 brazilians still believe in the electronic voting system, which was 1st used in 1996 and only 4 years ago facilitated the election of president bull. so narrow himself, monica in archival jazeera, rio de janeiro. when our cattle disease outbreak in india is killed, 100000 cows and buffalos. another 2000000 cattle have been infected. sh this outbreak, as devastated farmers have already suffered severe losses from extreme wyler. viruses now spread it to at least 15 states across the country.

council with the right of veto and we turn to the history of how russia entered the security councilf the united nations as the legal successor of the soviet union in 1991 yeltsin's letter and did not necessarily go through the procedure for joining the un, unlike russia from ukraine and belarus, which were the founders of this organization, is there any point now in insisting on the ukrainian side that russia has an illegitimate right to occupy a place in this organization? well, in the end -finally ask the question about russia 's participation in the un security council and the legal one, they use it quite often and try to block all questions that concern our interests, the un and mr. sergey , here are two questions. one of which has now been asked work to put russia in its place and expel it for the sake of security, and the second question is about the recognition of russia as a state that finances charisma, or even more daringly, to say a tarist state. demonstrated some exceptional properties, i will explain what is behind the words exceptional properties and peculiarities of t

by the way, in matters of energy security of the young. we act in strict accordance with all agreements that were based on the proposals of the moldovan side. the strategic partnership relations, based on the traditions of friendship, the cultural, spiritual and historical closeness of our fraternal peoples, are more beautifully connected with our hearts on a regular basis, we regularly discuss with president vučić, in personal meetings and by telephone, key issues for the further development of cooperation. we appreciate the desire of serbian friends to pursue a balanced independent course in the international arena and will continue to inform, work on deepening the policy of political dialogue by expanding interaction in the economics of trade in the scientific, technical, cultural and humanitarian spheres. within the framework of international law, relying primarily on un security council resolution 1244, we will continue to provide all -round support to our serbian friends in defending the legitimate rights of serbia's interests, prote

we have always repeated you cannot guarantee the security of one state by suppressing the security of another. no one took this seriously. today we are reaping the harvest of this. we continue to do everything possible to take steps aimed at ending the conflict and strengthening regional and international security. i will give a few examples. in 2014,belarus served as a platform and reaching an agreement on resolving the conflict in the ukraine and no matter how anyone tries to deny this, the agreements at that time, eased the level of military -- the fighting significantly. between 2014 -- we took part with our interested countries including with european partners and proposed concrete steps to support peace and security. in 2014 when the -- took place that then prime minister of poland called president and asked what could be done to ease tensions in europe. we were told that they will consult with the president and chancellor and we will get in touch with you. unfortunately, we heard nothing more about it. there was not enough courage to work with belarus. which at that time was un

restoring security and territorial integrity. guarantee security and provide determination. there are five pre-conditions for peace. the u.n. secretary general of united nations here, journalists, nations of the world, ukraine wants peace, europe wants peace. the world wants peace. and we have seen who is the only one who wants war. there is only one entity among all u.n. member states who would say now if you could interrupt my speech, that he is happy with this war. with his war. but we will not let this entity prevail over us, even though it is the largest state in the world. ukraine showed strength on the battlefield using its right to self-defense in accordance with article one of the u.n. charter. and no one will reproach us or in the future with weakness or inability to fight for ourselves for our independence. we are achieving a result in this fight. and we see with the end of this war will be, and what will be the guarantees of a stable peace. the u.n. charter proclaims the equality of nations, and we proved that ukraine is equal among equals. the u.n. charter prote

security experts from the faa and homeland security also warned about the growing threat to these unmanned aircraft systems posed to the u.s.. the committee will come to order. i would like to thank our witnesses for joining us for their continued service to the american people. today's hearing will highlight the threat posed by unmanned aircraft systems, or uas, commonly known as drones. and discuss how federal agencies are working together to combat this evolving threat. we will also examine additional authorities and resources that the department of homeland security, the department of justice need to successfully counter the uas, while working together with the federal aviation administration. in recent years, the market for a commercial uas has rapidly expanded, due to the affordability and utility of drones that are readily accessible to government, to industry, and two recreational users. the faa s estimates that by 2024, about 2.3 million uas, including one and a half 1 million recreational drones and model aircraft, and about 800,000 commercial uas will be registered to fly in the

offers and sales of these securities tokens are covered by the securities laws.and given that, as the ranking member quoted me of saying, it follows many crypto intermediaries are transacting in securities and have to register with the s.e.c. in some capacity. i would note chair fletcher was in that seat, there was not a central electronic clearing and you could exchange the security person-to-person in a paper form. thus, staff is working with market participants to help ensure investors get time-tested protections in the market. in that work and any work that congress does, i do think we have to make sure that we don't inadvertently undermine the securities laws underlying $100 trillion capital market. we -- that's the sort of mother lode. that's our capital markets. crypto is 1/100 that size. third, markets work when they're resilient. both in normal times and stress. history tells us we'll have stresses in the future. that's the nature of economics and finance. thus, we have a project on resiliencies. that includes shortening the settlement cycle. it includes

iaea was dealing with safety and security. it was their duty to assess the situation and everything that could create a risk. what did your staff say the risks were created by the ukrainian side? this disappointment with the iaea to the mpp. zelinksky's advisor said these are all unprofessional and unnecessary. according to him, the characteristics of this ukrainian government employee, we don't trust them from the start. in two hours time the iaea could have guided wide expertise. despite the fact -- another attempt to capture the station but this was foiled by the russian forces. on the third of september, the officers of ukraine used eight drones with munitions. thanks to our russian forces, the drones near the station were blocked. after this, they were forced to drop their remains in deserted areas. more than 1.5 kilometers away from the station. on the fourth of september, ukrainian forces, thanks to the russian forces they were thorton. there was another shelling by the ukrainians, one of them hit the roof of building n

and security and order be restored in guinea. the trial of a former military leader and key officials from his government has begun. most said that his camara and 10 others are accused of killing more than a 150 protest is showing a massacre at a stadium in 2009. they pleaded not guilty to charges, including murder and rape. a highly dress of reports from connecting 13 years of waiting is finally over. foreign military leader, most of that is camara. finally faces trial. he and 10 others are the elegant masterminds of a massacre. they will come face to face with survivors and the families of hundreds of civilians who are murdered, portrait, or raped by security forces. caesar demona no gather. it's too early to say if the outcome will be what we expect, but for now, we're giving a court the benefit of the doubt. yet if the government has promised to save, got the integrity of the process and guarantee protection for witnesses, the proceedings have been watched closely by international institutions like the united nations today, r

security of nuclear facilities in ukraine. the russian side has done everything possible to make sure mr. grossi and team reached the npp safely to carry out their work and returned to vienna. this was pointed out by the representative of the secretary-general of the u.n. when he underscored that the russian federation had done everything necessary to ensure safety of the iaea who visited the zaporizhzhia npp. we would like to hear your assessment, director general, to what extent is iaea satisfied with your interaction of the site. as we expected, the ukrainian side, having understood that they will not be able to use the iaea for their purposes, did everything to make sure the visit didn't happen. on september 1, the arm forces of ukraine, since 5:00 a.m., were conducting massive artillery shelling on the station and a town. they continued until the very last moment when the iaea team was on the way to the station. ukrainian artillery shelled the territory of zaporizhzhia, the place where the iaea met with russian specialist

energy security dear mr. chairman respect colleagues our region in the last few decades always and sleep bitter experience of intervention apology the result of this is only the creation of terrorism and the spread of threat and danger the result is what we see in afghanistan the united states not only they they extract the deformities of the very defeat in afghanistan, but also continues its policy of containing its own dangers and scales these policies to other countries of the asian continent. do you know, model new safety. its asia should be based on common cooperation on deepening integration in order to create a style you in the fight against the threats we face to maintain world security in this region of the islamic republic of iran like from a restaurant that has a great civilization culture and is actively fighting as well network of terrorism, as well as extremism in this area. and, of course, dokar always proves its effectiveness, and we also believe that the creation of international norms and pr

security. the united nations was built on an idea that never again would one country be allowed to take another's territory by force. that path we agreed leads to histories, most horrific outcomes. rushes attempted annexations are without a shadow of doubt. exactly that. we're talking about a you in member state a security council member attempting to annex part of another through force. the outcomes of the sham referenda. we're predetermine in moscow and everybody knows it. they were held behind the barrel of russian gun time. in time again, we have seen the ukrainian people fight for their country and their democracy. the ukrainian civilian who removed a russian land mine with his bare hands, the ukrainians abroad, who returned to fight for their country. the soldiers sacrificing their lives to stop russian advances. put miscalculated the resolve of the ukrainians. the ukrainian people have demonstrated loud and clear. they will never accept being subjugated to russian rule. and so the united

council have, and about the expansion of the security council, and because the security council andanization of the united nations arose after of the second world war and, accordingly, reflected the growth of international forces in the immediate post-war period, and it is certainly the case that today the question arises about the need for the entire structure to participate in other important participants in international relations until recently about the reality of the reform of the security council did not have time to speak, but what do i hope for, the defeat of russia, the defeat of the aggressor, the defeat of the aggressor, who is a permanent member of the un security council and has nuclear weapons , unjust and bloody wars against ukraine, against ukraine and the world system, will lead to a weakening of the international role of russia and will open a historic, in my opinion, historical window of opportunity to take a number of steps to reform the security council, mr. danylo, that is, as of today, legal steps actually do not exist, they cannot gather even if all the memb

the chinese security have said they will comply. it's pretty clear that no redactions in the work papers -- whoever the pcob need to take testimony from. they can share the information to us. they can pick whichever companies they want to look at. >> i'm not sure they will comply either, but they move further toward compliance than at any point in the past. senator van hollen and i have a bill that has passed the senate, as you know. it is being considered by the house to move the deadline from three years to two years with respect to which, if they don't comply, we tell them to leave our exchanges. i think that might help if we could get that passed and appreciate your good efforts there. in my last two minutes, i want to shift gears. i want to shift gears on the climate risk disclosure. i don't mean to be critical. i'm trying to understand. i thought senator tester raise good questions. what is your best guess of the cost of compliance with your climate risk disclosure rules? >> so, one, i do support your accelerating foreign comp

-- compromising ukraine security? >> it is not up to me. it is their country and they are the ones who should decide the future of their country. we have said it clearly from all the organizations supporting the donation side, the european union what the state -- with the sanctions have said that the future of ukraine is up for/-- as long as they want our support, we will be there. their fight is also our fight. i saw the fall of the berlin wall. we cannot go back to a period of history where we saw that military power was right. we can't go back to that so i think what is at stake here is a fight for their freedom, our freedom, but also be international rule-based order. they are the ones who decide the future. >> the death of mikael gorbachev remind his -- reminded us of the major shift in the late 80's. do you think we are in an era where the world order it is shifting again based on what we saw with the invasion of ukraine? >> i think there are challenges. it is important that the united states and europe stands t

why security forces up this is jasmine. no gazette. it's too early to say if the outcome will be what we expect. but for now, we're giving a court the benefit of the doubt. yet the government has promised to safeguard the integrity of the process and guarantee protection for witnesses. the proceedings are being watched closely by international institutions like the united nations, the today, reversing the cultural impunity into a culture of justice. active a say the trial is an important stuff, but will also be a difficult one. frankly, there are a lot of concerns this child unfolding in a complicated moment for guinea. there is a 100 government in power and there have been rights abuses, escalating a man on the opposition. i ban on public protest during this time. dennis santa is under intense pressure and making a political capital out of this trial. but the next few weeks and months will determine whether the process is politically motivated. or i generally attempt to find justice for victims and members of their families. the inter

of homeland security. these changes will ensure that our nation can develop a comprehensive national strategy, to protect all of our communities from these dangerous materials. public health threats that can have absolutely catastrophic effects. in addition to strengthening our homeland security and our preparedness, these changes will also make these offices more countable to congress and to the american people. today i am pleased to welcome a panel of experts. witnesses who can discuss whether dhs is equipped with the necessary tools, and the resources to prevent possible attacks. and to ensure that our nation is prepared to respond to and recover from that. i look forward to a comprehensive and insightful discussion. my ranking member senator portman is at another committee meeting right now, he will be joining us shortly. so i will immediately move to swearing in witnesses. the practice of the homeland security and government affairs committee to swear in witnesses, so if each of you would stand and ra
