this is a question that even us today, by the time alger hiss had left the state department in 1946, i believe was he left the state to take over as president. the carnegie endowment for international peace, which was a big deal a big job. and he always portrayed this is simply a movement from his standpoint to a better job, even a more important job. in fact, we now know that the state department security people were very skeptical about alger hiss. they couldn't prove anything, but they had they had had the information from whittaker chambers, they the information from bentley known as the red spy queen, who in 1945 came up with a list of 45 names, another ex-kgb agent and alger hiss and his brother donald hiss also in the state department, were on her list. so alger hiss left the state department because the security people wanted him out of fact, that was known at the time and that obvious alger hiss never about it. so to answer your question, a lot of the state department secure files on the communist stalinist penetration disappeared over the years. great controversy about this

however, the state department declares that it is not is the most effective way to bring russia to justiceich can be more effective than recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism . at the highest level in the kremlin, these things directly affect russia, you see how the ruble falls, how the russian economy shrinks, you see how multinational corporations leave russia is stopped doing business in russia, the designation of a country as a state sponsor of terrorism is what the secretary of state is doing and this is a process that takes place here in the state department. we believe that the efforts we are already making will bring russia to responsibility at the highest level. i will also note that among the humanitarian groups there is some concern that the recognition of a certain country by a state as a sponsor of terror may make it difficult for some of these groups to carry out important humanitarian activities that also help in this during the conflict, we saw how the president was very concerned about this , but again, we believe that there are already a number of directions

the state department announces another increase in sanctions pressure in response to puppet referendums. what , in their opinion, will most certainly end in annexation according to the crimean scenario. what will putin pay for this time ? the owner of the correspondent of tsn usa, olga košulenko, with details of the announced military aid package is long-term, that is, the united states does not have declared weapons in warehouses, but will order them from the manufacturers and will transfer to kyiv the content of this defense package is more than encouraging there are 18 additional installations of himers that have proven themselves well on the battlefield, as well as one and a half hundred armored high-mobility vehicles, radars of various types, means to combat drones , etc. in the united states, the fiscal year ends tomorrow, so it is not excluded that these days , weapons will also be allocated under the urgent presidential program, the funds for which remained allocated to the congress, meanwhile, the congress has already included in the new budget an amount for aid to ukraine, and

well, this is how strong the state department is in 2020. sed many times and what an amazing such generosity of washington fell on the years of a hybrid attack on the union state of belarus, russia and on an attempted coup d'état, belarus well, why then are all the fugitive works of the cheats of tikhonov's evening so dissatisfied. yes, because in 2 years the same amount of money was spent on the fugitives as on the entire belarusian opposition and civil society in more than 20 years. and that, in the end, everything that was done on the political field was taken by the current political village to come and heavily flavored with millions of western aid reports transparency or free competition. well , there is democracy. yes, why do they need all this, if the answer to any claims can be a phrase to me, a good one. corporation of goodness, no more no less, so it turns out the louder. they scream about fighting corruption because of human rights, the more they have corruption and fight each other. and it's not just about the fugitives. this is h

of the united states, and the same state department also spoke a lot today about russia and the ukrainianl that arose with the future contract between moscow and north korea, everyone signs that russia has turned to north korea with a request for munitions. now i cannot provide more details, but this demonstrates and indicates the situation in which russia found itself in terms of its logistical support in the context of ukraine, definitely we believe that on this front for russia things are going

this is how strong the state department is in 2020. times and that such amazing generosity of washington fell on the years of a hybrid attack on the union state of belarus, russia and on the attempted coup d'état in belarus . yes, because in 2 years as much money was spent on the fugitives as on the entire belarusian opposition civil society in more than 20 years. and that, in the end, everything that was done in the political field was seized by the current political force to come and firmly with the goodness of millions from western aid reports of transparency or free competition. well , there is democracy. yes, why do they need all this, if the answer to any claims can be the phrase i'm terribly good. the corporation of goodness is neither more nor less, so it turns out the louder it is. they scream about fighting corruption because of human rights, the more they have corruption and fight with each other. and it's not just whites. this is how it turned out i am european politicians working with funds. however, with such opposition f

dmytro manuchenko a journalist from washington dmytro, i welcome you, i am joining you from the state departmentd states, this is such a location, where all the information flows that you and i will have first-hand information today, this is great because it was from the united states, more precisely, from the ministry of finance , from the sound of the minister of profile janettelen , that this initiative was heard, in particular, regarding the decision of the great seven ministers, which we just announced . sometimes in the end, when to wait for them, well, that’s a big question. and really, very often, journalists there come up with some labels, some beautiful signs for events, they say that they are historical, unprecedented, journalists like to do this, especially for headlines. here’s what i i heard today from american officials that they really think that this decision is key, why will it work, as they say here, as they hope from december, but in the main they hope that it will, well, it doesn't matter that we punish the glass, it doesn't matter that it cuts its oil revenues, here they ho

in general, oliverstone is also enough of a critic, if you can use this word, of the state departmentmerican foreign policy, he constantly talks about the fact that america, with its foreign policy actions, distracts the americans from uh, something that is happening inside their country. and ukraine became such a distracting maneuver and here is russia , which is now interpreted as an external enemy of the united states, let's watch an excerpt from this film. i didn't want to know what was happening in ukraine. this is a problem, the task is not to capture the president, but to shoot him, the impression was created that the embassy of the united states exists, that the process is controlled by the external enemy of all , uh, fears, iran is not very interested in it, 2017 olya verstone records a large interview with putin, well , this is actually such a documentary the film, which is called an interview with putin, stone makes it seem like such an unpleasant tough conversation, but it is not at all like that he was criticized even there by various world media for the fact that he he w

with us today the honorable --, the assistant secretary for state for the role of international organization affairs with the u.s. department of state. miss -- was recently confirmed by the senate in december to lead this critical bureau and briefly served as the united states ambassador to haiti, sri lanka, the maldives, lebanon, and the uae. miss sison, you have five minutes. >> good morning, and thank you, madam chair. ranking member -- and members of the subcommittee for having. we're here today with you to discuss the fiscal year 2023 budget request for the un and other international organizations. the bureau of international organization affairs, i owe, prioritizes our engagement with the un and with the multilateral system to advance u.s. national interests and strengthen the international system to address today's global challenges and to deliver real benefits to the american people. now in order to achieve this, we worked tirelessly to defend the founding principles and values of the system, especially against efforts by our competitors to reshape them. and we continue to push for reforms to ensure that internation

all these facts, researchers working under the guidance of the state department, not only analyze, they make public, they should also become the evidence base now in future trials, that is why all the experts with whom we speak and professor gilligan and nathan raymond also cooperates with the office of global criminal justice, which is in the state department. their task is to help the ukrainian prosecutor general 's office and be ready for a large-scale criminal investigation if or when it begins. we are incredibly concerned about russia's actions in ukraine . more than 40 countries of the world, mainly in europe. also, six and a half million ukrainians were displaced persons. so this is a little more than a third of the population who cannot return home according to the un, about half of the population of ukraine, more than 17 million people need vital humanitarian aid, these figures show the impact of the unjustified war that russia has unleashed in ukraine, before that, there is also a huge number and an increasing number of reports and evidence regarding the so-called filtering an

that was a lie when the trump state department that it and it was a lie when the biden state departmentd. it isn't it? >> i think this is a real big missed opportunity to stand up for human rights it is just so not true that egypt is making clear consistent progress on human rights as the law commands them to do in order to receive this aid. you're talking about a country that has 60,000 political prisoners right now estimates are that china has 1000 and russia has many as 100 or 200. that's just a stunning scope of political repression what we know is that last year they released about 1% of that 16,000. that's not the kind of progress that would command the release of these dollars so my pitch to the administration is simple. you have to walk the walk on human rights and democracy if you want to be believed when you talk the talk and in egypt, this is a country that probably is going to cooperate with this on areas of engagement because it isn't their best interest. and they're not doing it simply in exchange for our military finance and i think we should've held back the full amount.

the state department figures are slightly less, something behind $900,000 and 1.5 million. but it gives you an idea of what has been going on the other side of the line, the one that divides this part of ukraine to the part of ukraine now in the hands of russian forces. and this says the state department is something that we've been seeing and hearing from ukrainian officials, those who managed to flee as well, it is a systemic attempt to try to clear the lands ahead of referendum of people who might not vote in the right way. they are being prepared in order to test the public opinion and ask the people whether they want to join russia. so the first steps of and an next annexation 6 the parts in russian hands. these filtration camps, forcible removal of many hundreds of thousands, possibly millions ahead of that, but also the details from the state department, the details of what goes on in the filtration camps, families separated, people stripped naked, humiliated, tortured and sometimes disappeared entirely. >> really troubling there. melissa bell, thank you so much for

he says that there are two points , the first point that the state department is afraid that this statusrupt the grain agreement with istanbul on the export of ukrainian grain , and this is serious for the united states, on the other hand. he says that there are many appeals from international organizations that want to provide humanitarian aid and they are afraid that they will not be able to do it if russia has this status, we can talk in detail about those fears, however, this is what the department has voiced. well, we understand that at the administration level there is still no decision for them to agree to this on the other hand since the congress, which says that with all due respect to the position of the administration, they are ready to promote this bill, they are ready to pass it, that is, in the near future, the closer to the elections, the more active the congress will be on this topic in the near future, the number one topic, by the way, regarding the grain agreement, the russians are already there at the level of the highest political leadership declaring that they are al

and is the consensus within the state department, the n.s.c., homeland security and the white house, that we can figure this problem out? sec. sherman: there certainly is a determination to do that, jason. it's not simple. i don't want to kid people. this is hard. because we really have to work all over the globe to say that this is not a tool that governments should use. that human beings are not bargaining chips and should not be unjustly detained in these ways and used in these ways. you know, when people ask me what's the hardest thing about being in my role, or being a diplomat, i've opinion lucky enough, this is the fifth secretary of state i've had the ability to work for and with. the hardest thing i do is meeting with families. i met with and talked with your family, your brother, on a regular basis, as you know, who was a tremendous advocate for you, as was the rest of your family, just never stopped pushing. i met with austin tice's mother. i've met with others, many of the iranian families of the four that are currently detained unjustly in iran. that we're trying to get

the comment by the us state department. what do you think this says i'm, can you generalize how this talks about us policy perhaps? well, let's be very careful here about what exactly the state department spokesman net price said. what he simply said is that the us enjoy security relations with a number of countries in this case, specifically in nato. and in the context of this whole issue between turkey and greece, what we've seen here unfortunately, is a very significant escalation of threats by the turkish president against greece. when in fact, the 2 countries should be sitting down in peaceful dialogue to resort to dot discussion dialogue and all peaceful means to resolve whatever issues may be outstanding. and in fact, the problem that we have is that there were very dissimilar approaches to peace in the region from turkey, which has an amphibious expeditionary army across the greek islands in greece, which has no claims on any turkish territory. so it's very important that we work together with our countries and our,

there are racists in the state department who slow walk. if we had just followed the quota system, the restrictive quota system, we could have let in five times as many jews and we didn't. people would change the rules. we start the film with otto frank, anne frank's father. he spends most of the 30s trying to get into the united states. most people's entrance is through the story of anne frank which we think we have no responsibility but the fact that she could be living among us today, that her children could be here, and we didn't want them in there. there is a higher kind of moral place that we could have arrived at. fra franklin roosevelt could be been more vociferous in his opposition. could have rid the state department of antisemihits, and we could have yelled louder about what was happening at the time and we did not do that, and because of that, we failed. had we let in five times as many people, i suggest we still would have failed. >> one of the utterly tragic incidents that you recount in the film is that of m.s. st. louis, the

in this regard, that is, the state department means the congress . terrorism and that's the end of itthey're sending a new bill where they sent a joint bill. by the way, we were joint then, but the main issue is not that it was a party one, but that now it bypasses the state department, it's already a direct action, and i don't know what this is because there is a discussion, the americans are discussing the essence. they are never in tongues, it is not so easy to shake the air, and there is logic, apparently, with blinkin, but on the other hand, the congress and biden. declares russia a sponsor of economic terrorism, declares but without those shortcomings that can somehow harm ukraine, when they will be able to transfer humanitarian aid or something, there are many such moments, but in relation to the un, russia will not be thrown out of the un for treason, it is very difficult, very very the struggle to weaken russia is difficult, long, difficult , difficult and without a guarantee of success, humanity is used to russia, i will tell you a secret, humanity is not used to ukraine, it

but the west is doing exactly the opposite, on the contrary, the state department officially announcedicy in central asia to disconnect the economies of our neighbors from the russian one; moreover, they do not hesitate to announce counteraction to the influence of the russian language and culture in the region. some countries are flattering directly from anti-russian sanctions or threatening secondary measures for their implementation. what kind of disobedience can be seen in the example of demonstrative flogging of hungary by the european parliament, struck it off the list of democracy and deprive newspapers payments from the common european budget. i just want to think that the hungarian leadership chooses the people by direct vote. it's just that by direct voting they vote for their leadership of the european union, even close. there is no question of any direct voting. there are very complex bureaucratic procedures, but these people believe that hungary is a hybrid hybrid form, a hybrid regime of electoral autocracy in which elections are held regularly, but without respect for ba

independent journalists to bankrupt with the help of economic sanctions all the power of the state departmenter, is uh, of course, well, in some ways desperate strategy uh in the current situation, because the tools of soft power that can be used against russia are now not much in the west. yes, there are many of the well foreign agents and have either left russia many media foreign agents have closed down and relocated their offices. yes, outside of russia and so further. here. well, where do they have the opportunity, at least for an immigrant party, for example, to work with this, in order to take advantage of the situation later. for example, if yes, it will appear on them as but opportunities and integrate all these cultural meanings into russian discussions. the guide to the collapse of russia is nothing more than a populist collection that describes all the mechanisms that are already trying to put pressure on our country only hyperbole of reality elevated to the absolute, grotesque dreams of separatism and dreams of the power of a hegemon that put on dissolve. run the piedmont olga lv

the state department sent many of those unexplained cases to the university of pennsylvania where dr.las smith leads the center for brain injury and repair. >> i assembled a team to independently look at these patients. i would say most people really doubted this, but a lot of the neurological symptoms that were examined were impressing our team members. and then i think some time in october each one of the team mibs just said what they thought from their own specialty perspective and 100% really felt there was something there. >> so they were skeptical going into it, but every single one of them felt there was something there? >> absolutely. my opinion and i think all the team member's opinions are that there's something there. >> dr. smith and his team put the patients through testing including auditory, vestibular and ocular evaluation. >> it turns out ocular was the most -- it's pretty clear to the practitioners this is well out of the normal range of someone not able to perform these simple type of tests. >> they also utilized an advance type of neuro imaging called dti. this typ

the departments of defense, homeland security, state, and justice, among other agencies, have agreed on technical solutions that would fill all three gaps that i've just mentioned. if those gaps are filled, the justice department can play and is eager to play a much fuller role in the crucial effort to make the post holocaust imperative, never again, a reality, not just an endlessly on realized aspiration. thank you, chairman and ranking member, for affording me the opportunity to testify here today, and i would be pleased to respond to questions. >> thank, you mr. rosenbaum. mr. watson? >> chairman durbin, ranking member grassley, and distinguished members of the judiciary committee. i am pleased to have the opportunity to address this committee today on a critical role u.s. immigration and customs enforcement, i.c.e., homeland security investigations, hsi, continues to play in ensuring the united states is not becoming safe haven for human rights violators, and to highlight areas in which legislation would assist us in more effectively pursuing criminal investigations and prosecutio

land cruiser belongs to a private company and has nothing to do with the state department .hy do they pretend to be real lifeguards and take advantage on the road. we tried to sort out this problem and together with the employees of the special purpose center, the abbreviated tssn gibdd of the ministry of internal affairs of russia, we went to the streets of moscow, the initiators of a large-scale operation were the new leadership of the ministry of emergency situations of russia, the ministry of internal affairs and the fso, and moscow city center today, several crews of the central apparatus of the traffic police of russia are working here and looking for cars that are supposedly in a hurry let's see who uses a similar transport. why for what purposes and most importantly, who is used to driving around moscow like a lord various important people are in a hurry, who is where officials in expensive suits in representative cars to a meeting businessmen in luxury suvs to the office of their companies it’s good when you also have privileges, for example, a beacon on the roof of

state highway. also having the sheriff's department, because we we are part of alameda county. through my tax dollars, i pay all of their salaries. but what you see in oakland today, there is a lack of cooperation between governmental bodies to provide for the safety of oakland. i let i left east 15th street, where prostitution is out of control in front of people's residence. so we are making an effort to bring these police efforts toger efforts together to address the violence issue. but also, at the the other side we have many violence prevention organizations and efforts, so we we need to be unified to address address the issue. >> that follows up on the next question, because you say you will put more officers on the streets, but that doesn't always always fix the problem. sometimes it is a band-aid on a bigger issue. what you think is the deeper issue going on that needs to be addressed? >> it needs to be a community effort, not just about policing. my parents right now at my schools are also complaining because they want more police presence at the school sites because p

they talk to the state department. they are a good check on the state department in terms of getting it right. that is particularly true when it comes to designating certain countries to be c.p.c. countries. countries of particular concern. unfortunately the state department has a less than stellar record of picking and choosing and giving passing grades artificially to some countries that ought to be on the c.p.c. designation which is the worst violator and therefore susceptible to sanctioning by the united states government. this just happened with regards to nigeria where uscirf laiblgd them a top tier violator of religious freedom while the state department gave it an unwarranted upgrade right before the secretary of state went to meet with the president there. we should have said, mr. president, this is the president of nigeria, you've got to clean up your act. the killing of christians, of churches, houses of worship, has to come to an end. some of it he can't stop. much of it -- response could be far better. unf

well , as for today's situation, the politics in the state department. they just played. nly power, the united states, which at the legislative level allows itself to interfere in the constitutional system of other states was the former yugoslavia, as it was in iraq in 2003, as it was in libya and in syria, we, we russia did not allow events to develop according to this scenario, when the united states was driven by only with their e, view of things, in fact, they erase the whole e, the state of their leaders from the political map of the world. and, uh, iraq and libya for many years turned into countries without a state, with regard to this today's frenzy. uh, this apogee is the apotheosis of geopolitical confrontation, of course, it is necessary to stop the actions of the president of russia aimed at stopping this far-fetched and dislocated confrontation , the document adopted by the state duma is also aimed at this. and of course, e as for further people. that's what they forget about, the united states for them is the fate of millions of ukrainians. it's just nothing.

but they were left without any kind of credentials to prove they work for the state department. >> you're haven't been able to get those afghans back to the united states. unfortunately, when the siv program was set up back in 2009, it was set up not as a permanent program, but it had to be reauthorized. the number of visas had to be redone, and that has really created a problem over the years, poet in terms of restricting those people who might be able to come to the united states, but also in providing no real ongoing commitment on the part of either congress or the administration, whether it's been a republican or a democratic administration to ensure that the program works the way it's supposed to. so what our report tries to do is look at those challenges and make recommendations for what needs to be done to fix it. now the biden administration took a big step when they got rid of the 360 process that's part of it. which is a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy. that helps, but there's a lot more that we need to do. >> senator, i spoke with one of the former sivs who finally made it out

state department d eia. >> laura: how exciting.le on the hill, democrats are so desperate to hold on to power they are trying to scare you away from voting republican, because guess what, all of those minorities running and winning, they are actually closet racists who have the letter i word on their mind. >> it was impeached president biden as quickly as possible. and also an bolding republicans and the far right and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is there a time. this is a group that has been radicalized from the greats replacement myth and many other things and has been pushing for violence and pushing for even civil war. >> laura: think goodness new yorkers have a man of representing the people in these troubling times. but congressman bowman is taking a lesson from the highest-paid racial huxley are around, the intellectual force behind the democrats embrace of the systemic racism myth, a man whose sole goal is to cashing in on poorly written books for adults and kids. the plot is always the

i spoke with ned price at the state department at the top of the show.ars and what a difference they have played because they have allowed the ukrainians to take out targets that they couldn't hit before. what is the -- what does the role of the rest of the world need to be in order to help them win in your opinion? >> well, it's been crucial. obviously without western support both military and financial, ukrainian would not be in this position with every passing month, the united states has made more powerful armorments available to the ukrainian government. my worry has been for some time that we're giving the ukrainians enough not to lose the war but not enough to win it. if you talk to experienced folks at the pentagon, they'll tell you you need more himars than that to defeat this russian army. but i think the critical point that is not getting enough coverage is that we need to up the economic support. by we, not the united states. the west. i mean the european union, which is behind with the money that its committed to ukraine. nine billion euros
