the differing fuel economy standards in the environmental protection agency. e this has been charged with implementing fuel economy standards since 1978, the obama era epa develop its own standard in 2009. in order to cornet these they created the national program. the national program failed to develop a single national standard. under the current scheme. automakers could find themselves in compliance with one federal standard but running a fall of another. this is true even though they told this committee during the hearing less congress that they would work together to avoid this. we've seen programs that works against the obama administration's progress of coordinated efforts. under this there to jointly issue their respective determinations on the model years 2022 - 2025 standards. this was supposed to happen in april 2018. epa abandon this and rush through its final determination without coordination just seven days before president trump was sworn into office. i look forward to receiving an update and would like to know how these regulatory schemes impac

standard, which co m pa res on the staffing standard, which compares favourably with all other pharmacies is there to deliver patient care. i am confident that we have enough staff. community pharmacy is part of the nhs, and its funding is being cut. more prescriptions are being dispensed than ever before, more than 1 billion per year. and as the population gets older, they are becoming more complex.|j population gets older, they are becoming more complex. i think my record is 37 medicines that they are run, and you have to check each one for suitability, and you are trying to do that in a busy, hectic environment, and you have all the other tasks to do. accuracy is crucial. boots says pharmacist should only check their own work as a last resort. but the pharmacists spoke to told us that in their experience, when they are busy, that doesn't always happen. often, you have to self check medication. often, you're in a situation with no staff at all mind you have to dispense medication and self check it. everyday, there is an occasion where i have the self check, on all of the shifts i work.

but the reason that question is so relevant is yes there needs to be one standard but it shouldn't be arbitrary. there are certain jobs that take real pride in the fact no women can meet their standards and i get that. the tell me the job requirements and what you want the person to accomplish and their lofty goals. and it should be to maintain the elite status. within if you need to pull a 200-pound unconscious marine what is the task to identify those? pull out a 200-pound dummy and give them 45 seconds whatever is the standard. we have all watched that little gymnast could she do that? i don't know. why do we set the standards thinking that equates to these jobs? make sure it isn't arbitrary but job specific and that is my goal.

the work that we did on time standards was regarded as very robust work. , and they called it world—leading. the team reported back that boots needed to spend tens of millions more on its pharmacies. we calculated the amount of investment from the time standards and from other operational considerations and to meet the expectations that the company had of pharmacy staff and its stores, and that was in excess of £100 million additional investment every year — that was required to fund that. boots says that only greg lawton held the view that in excess of £100 million a year was required. the company told us it did make significant additional investment in pharmacies following the time standards review, but says the specific figure is commercially sensitive. greg — his opinions and his concerns — left the business over two years ago and aren't relevant to boots today. we continue to invest in more people, more pharmacists, than ever before. that's into our shops and it's into our processes, helping to make things more safe. as the uk's biggest pharmacy chain,

safety, environmental standards or workers' rights. thet on brexit on food and animal welfare standards were also raised in the lords. the government was challenged to guarantee there would be no watering down of current rules to secure a trade deal with the united states. the minister tried reassuring. our food is held in high repute due to oui’ food is held in high repute due to our standards. the withdrawal bill will transfer onto the uk statute book full eu food safety and animal welfare standards. 0ur book full eu food safety and animal welfare standards. our current high standards including import requirements will apply when we leave the eu. easier where liam fox's agreed with american officials at trade talks will be secret and the us commerce secretary said scrapping the hygiene laws that hindi us exports of food to the uk and others would be a critical component of any trade discussions and is he also aware that liam fox is on record as saying there is nothing wrong with chlorine dipped paltry despite its use to disguise huge bac

so the key question is do we abandon those standards, and none of us in the nhs wa nt to standards, andhs want to do that, or does the government make the decisions that it needs to make about the long—term funding and it needs to make those the systems quickly. this is one of the systems quickly. this is one of the strongest warnings yet about the strain being faced by the nhs this winter and it will add to the pressure on ministers to build a consensus over the long—term future of the health and care service, and to do so quickly. dominic hughes, bbc news. 17 people have been killed by mudslides and flash floods in southern california. hundreds of rescuers are searching though wreckage for more than a dozen missing people. let's get the latest the latest extreme weather has hit sa nta the latest extreme weather has hit santa barbara, and montecito. let's get the latest on the rescue with amber anderson from the santa barbara city fire department. what are you seeing, what is the latest? the latest is, now that we're beyond the first 2a hours of the incident, i can tell you that we are

standards. fracking is reducing our independence but so also is the fuel economy standards. can't have no retreat because we are sending young men and women in uniform over to the middle east to continue to protect that oil coming in from the middle east. we have a moral responsibility to put the fuel economy standards of our vehicles at the highest possible level so i just want the epa and the top administration that the young men and women over there not exclusively but in part but to protect that supply of oil. you will never be energy independent and will never produce all the oil we need. 13 million barrels a day and we still consuming 19 or 20 billio. we should honor that commitment and we should honor what the massachusetts and california and the other states want to accomplish. >> if i may, senator, the issue you raised is important but the also the harmonization with dot. there are joint equities between dot and epa and we are working diligently with them to harmonize these efforts to provide clarity on these issues. federalism is also interagency at the federal lev

at the heart of the program is our standards, which i'll explain. we brought together leading experts from across the country in each of the five value categories. the standards which point to certifications like u usd a organic. they're expected to make change in each of the five value categories by sourcing a certain amount of food. like certification for green buildings, an institution -- there is a basic baseline minimum that an institution is expected to hit, but we inspire institutions to score better and better across the criteria. this slide provides a basic overview of the evaluation process. the information we share on the baseline evaluation helps institutions set goals, make shifts and measure progress annually. as i mentioned, they adopted the program in l.a. in 2012 and they accomplished quite a bit in a short period of time. 28% meat reduction that has led to significant carbon and water savings. at the same time, the district began purchasing better meat. including issuing $70 million in contracts for chicken produced without antibiot

the nhs can no longer deliver the standards of care in the constitution, so we have an important decisionovernment to make those decisions this year, by the time of the budget at the latest. for the first time ever last, the nhs missed all of the key standards on a&e, elective surgery, ambulance waiting times, cancer waiting times. we set a new trajectory to recover the a&e standard, which we will now miss. we have reached the point where the nhs cannot meet the standards of care that we would all of us, ministers included, want to provide. dr tom dolphin is an anesthetist at a london hospital. he's also a labour member. of the latest figures show that targets were missed in december, nhs providers saying this is a watershed moment, do you agree? it certainly looks like it, it looks like it in the figures and if you go to any a&e in any hospital, people everywhere, in cubicles, on chairs, they are queueing up, they are being treated in car parks around the country. it feels like this is the worst it has ever been. is there a mismatch between what the nhs is expected to deliver with the mo

the end for a while. let's not forget a key priority should be setting standards for 5g. i also want to be clear that the industry should be given the opportunity to figure out the best means to implement geo-targeting. it is paramount in the context of public safety that industry ensures that whatever it is they pick is taxed at a marks. they should be not forced to cut corners or pick a lesser solution to meet an aspirational deadline. we went down this road for a location accuracy and it didn't work out well. therefore, standards are delayed in industry needs more time to successfully deploy geo-targeting, i'll be supportive of extending the deadline. for this reason i'm pleased that chairman agreed to my my request to add language to the item that the commission will entertain a waiver of the 22 month deadline that the standard processes prolonged. ultimately we must remember that this is a voluntary program and you do know why providers optimize the program because they can integrate its functionality and 22 months. this brings me to the cost benefit analysis. i remai

the good food purchasing standards are based on third party verification. these audits provide an impetus for positive change and working conditions through the supply chain. we must not ignore the human rights abuses suffered by those who feed us. none of us should benefit from the exploited labor. this program provides an important step in eliminating modern day slavery from the food supply chain. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm here representing the humane society of the united states. i spent 12 years as a food service director of a small high school district and worked directly with students. what i found working there was that my biggest hurdle was not getting the students to like plant based meals, it was getting the cooks to cook it. the high school students these days, they want plant based food, they want the rainbow on the plate. my biggest issue was educating the staff that worked at the school for many years still relying on cheeseburger type of fallback. working for the humane society has been a huge blessing for me, i'm now able to teach

eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk

that's in accordance to the yellow book standards that allow us to do so. so i just like to quickly highlight a few of the audits we have issued. in july, we issued the cable card fair process audit. we actually took 30 undercover rides as auditors and found that because of potential fraud, we did additional work and as you know, if you're following the news and i'm quite sure you are, there was an arrest. and as a result of the work, we have a continuous monitoring program we have implemented as it relates to the cable cars and the actual work of the cash fare audit is part of the normal work process we do under the city-wide work. in october 2017 we issued a report of six city departments. airport, puc, public works, port, rec and parks from 2014 to 2017. so these 15 audits included the work we completed on our g.o. bond programs and contain 31 findings and 65 recommendations. we really just wanted to summarize the overarching trends and look at the various internal control weaknesses. what we noted were the three key findings were departments should stren

like light wells and then aghast to see the new minimum standard, which is the most -- the only standard the developers ever made the minimum standards. at 75% matching. in other words, they aren't going to be matching. this, i thought, was more evidence that the policies do not emphasize or fully address the existing environment. if knollsing comes out of this hearing, i hope you'll at least ask the department to produce a design review checklist from the u.s d.g.s and then start sending them to you with each subsequent petrero project. this is the only way you'll know if these work for you or not. there's been nothing from standing in the way of departments from doing that on a trial basis for the last two years. if you like how it works, then adopt it for the petrero.

we don't know what the standards will be. are exacerbated by an increasing partisan divide among the judiciary. case,at north carolina the federal judge that issued a response, it was 485 pages. , then a white republican circuit, the fourth three democrats, two of which were african-american judges read the case goes to the supreme court on a emergency basis. maybe we look at guards more involved in the political thicket, maybe they can't handle that. justice roberts said, may be is unseemly for the judges to be getting involved. i think this argument has come 60 years too late. there certainly is a problem if who this case is assigned to and have a good idea what that judges are going to do. those are the three cases i mentioned, race or party. as a proxy for party, or party all the time. the me suggest where we are likely to go is none of those. we are likely to go to know policing. the victor goes the spoils approach. as justice kennedy gets ready to retire, the supreme court further moving to the right. the court is likely

as long as the cottage existed, and now, no one lives there, so i don't really understand what the standard is for the path to legalization is? because the property owner doesn't want to legalize it, so he encourages dbi to deny legalization, but if it was already empty, and he might want to put a tenant in there, it'll qualifying for legalization. somebody liveds in this property until about a year ago. i'm not exactly sure on all the details, but i feel this is an agency where city agencies -- i feel this is a situation where city agencies are working at differences with each other, where developers are now making laundry rooms and stairways, and who knows what into legal units, that when there's a cottage in the back yard, people should be living in there, and there should be a set standard where dbi can't just sort of arbitrarily decide or because they're encouraged by the property owner to illegalize a unit that could otherwise be lived in. so thank you for your time, and i look forward to your decision. >> president hillis: thank you so much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, c

but you're going to replace the gold standard with a lead standard. and that will not be good for the health of the children in our country. the president has a slogan of maga, but here it's going to be make arsenic great again. this is not good for our country. that decision is an historically bad one last week, and i urge you to reconsider it immediately. on the question of fuel economy standards, you say that you are reviewing them right now in response to senator carper. the head of epa's air office has no plan to withdraw the good public policy standpoint, the very best outcome for us to achieve is one national program. >> one national program is essential. >> one national program is essential. and do you support, once again, the maintenance, the retention of the california waiver, which massachusetts uses, and many other states also use, do you support the -- >> california, they're in ongoing discussions with c.a.r.b. in california, the agency that oversees these matters. it is our hope we can come to a resolution in april of this year. senator,

we're excited to see these are addressed with the environmental sustainability standard. i think it offers a solid platform for san francisco to use as it expands its sustainable procurement programs over time. because if adopted the gfpp would serve as a consolidated home for many of the food purchasing resolutions and ordinances already on the book in the city and county. as well, i think it could lend kind of a formal home and support for the voluntary measures that are under way in the hospitals and jails as we heard from speakers today. given that many of these policies have been passed in san francisco quite some time ago, the adoption of this program offers a fresh opportunity to have updated comprehensive food standards across the city purchasing operations, but most importantly the gfpp offers a clear pathway to measure and benchmark progress. that accountable measure we heard earlier. >> thank you. >> i'm just going to call a few more names. eli, andrew, susan, carrie, catherine. >> i'm the seniorsy advocate you've heard a great deal with the work that the organi
