in these tools. one example that i'll give and you know, again, i think this is a resource-related issue for any of you who have been in government. you're governing through a chaotic process and certain things may slip through the cracks, especially if you don't have the amount of people you need on the target. the venezuela eo, some smart sanctions in general on venezuela, there was a kind of provision in there that targeted venezuela government bonds. right, the issue with the implementtation though is it targeted all venezuelan bonds and at the same time it released the executive order, it was exempting effectively everything, but one venezuelan government bond, so you have this kind of x target and then, x minus 1 is everything that you're letting go. so, i think it's caused that -- that caused a lot of reaction especially in the financial industry where people were scrambling to figure out, oh, my gosh, do i hold bonds and do i meet the numbers on these lists? when that didn't really need to ha

>> i'll just reiterate, sanctions are one tool in the foreign policy tool kitt.nobody on this panel agree that sanctions are a silver bullet or applicable or appropriate for every case. it's one tool, powerful one, but in a whole toolbox of tools. >> why don't we take some -- i that that counts more as a comment than a question so i'll thank you. that means we get to work in one more question. there's another one, i see a hand up. >> witch the smithsonian american council with my baltic and central and eastern east european colleagues we're on the hill every week advocating for or policy priorities and implement indication of russia sanctions is always at the top of the list. i wonder if you have any sessions how to best refine our message to appeal to staffers and members of congress to advance things more effectively. >> i have the highest regard for estonia's able to resist various forms of russian aggression. you're on the front lines like no kidding. i think that the way to explore -- the area to explore is what we have been discussing. what should be the co

sanctions are a tool that everybody turns to now. every time there's a crisis, congress is what will we impose sanctions on? we return to this tool more often than we should. there is not been a corresponding investment in these tools. , i think this is a resource related one example, i think this is a resource related issue -- you are going through a chaotic process and certain things slip through the cracks, especially if you don't have the amount of people you need. with the venezuela eeo that came out, there was a provision that targeted venezuelan government bonds. the issue with the implementation is that it targeted all venezuelan bonds, but then at the same time, they had you issue a license if it -- license effectively exempting everything but one bond. you had index target and then this one is everything you are letting go. that cost a lot of reaction, especially in the financial industry where people were scrambling to figure out, do i hold bonds? that didn't need to happen. those resources in the government that were answ

there's actually very sophisticated tools that we can use. and that's why we chose quantum workplace. it's hard to measure what you want to measure. these tools are based on research and are valid and reliable, and all that means in survey design is that it's measuring what you want it to measure, and it's going to do that consistently every time. in terms of deployment, there's a lot of automatetion of the processes. we don't have to manually input information, including employees and who should see what results. another important thing is if the survey's coming from a third party and branded as that third party, people actually trust the confidentiality of the survey more than if it was coming from the puc, and we might say we're keeping it confidential, and we might do so, but they might not trust that if it's coming from us. that's an added bonus of sending it through a third party. and we're not waiting for months for the high level analysis. we can slice and dice quickly all through the organization to quickly see what's going on. and w

we need more people and even better tools. ago,town hall a few months i also started my remarks by speaking about the history of this great organization. i asked that each person in the shoesut themselves in the of those treasury officials over 70 years ago who founded strategic and innovative ways to deploy economic authority to keep assets out of the hands of that actors and to save victims of the holocaust. as i asked them to put themselves in the shoes of them, i reminded them that is exactly where they are today. there are terrible things happening around the world right now. we live in a time where there are grave threat to our country. each one of our career professionals stand as an important part of the mission to keep not only our country safe, but to prevent and deter other threats around the world by illicit actors and financiers. we are dedicated to take our work further. i cannot be any prouder to lead this effort. thank you.

effective tools should be available to all consumers. trust must be restored to caller id information through adoption of the framework sooner rather than later. i know the ftc stands ready to do our part to make sure consumers understand the tools and how to use them to protect themselves. excited to turn it over to the next panel for a discussion of the solutions and tools that are available. thank you.

we coupled this with other tools to achieve maximum effect. on the same day ambassador haley nominated these vessels to be lifted at the un. we had a global shipping highlight into the world that north korea's deceptive shipping practices. after the designations i met with a representative to urge them to take sweat actions to the extent they had not already done so. we are synchronizing our actions in these and other ways with partners to maximize the impact of these crucial authorities. these have built on our effort to maximize pressure in the kim regime. in addition to tough resolutions treasury has designated over 200 individuals and entities in connection with the north korea threat. we have amplified this in multiple ways. this includes actions under the u.s. patriot act including cutting off a chinese bank from the financial system only found it to be a concern for facilitating. just a few weeks ago we use the authority to identify the lobby of banks that had process transactions for parties connected to north korea as a primary money-

communities should have the tool. states should have the tool. but nobody should be mandated to do it. >> should the teachers wear their weapons outside so everyone can see it, including little kids, presumably. or should they conceal them so there's an element of surprise? >> look, this is an issue that is best decided by local communities and by states. it is not going to be appropriate in every location. but it is going to be appropriate in some places. like texas has determined and polk county, florida, has determined. >> texas does it. do you think they should be able -- teachers should be able to carry assault weapons since presumably they may face assault weapons? do you have an opinion on that? >> i don't think assault weapons in schools carried by any school personnel is the appropriate thing, but again, this is an issue that i think is best decided at the local level by communities and by states. >> but a student could legally carry an assault weapon, a student over 18. >> not in schools they can't. >> okay. you still want the schools t

best tool for them. today, there are a growing number of call blocking tools and choices. when i first came to the commission in 2014, consumers had few options to stop unwanted calls. as a result of the federal trade commission first robocall challenge, it was available for voice over i.p. home phones, a good start, but few options for wireless and little to no options offered by the providers. after three more ftc challenges and continuous work with the industry and all our partners, today the landscape is different. a number of providers offer some types of call blocking services directly to their voice over ip or wireless customers are both. wireless customers now have a number of call blocking apps to choose from. ctia, who we'll hear from on the next panel, put out a list of 40 apps for ios android phones alone. why aren't these tools having a greater impact and what can we do to help? first off, many consumers don't know that there are more tools available today to stop illegal or unwanted calls.

we coupled this action with other tfi tools to achieve maximum effect. on that same day, ambassador haley nominated these vessels to be listed at the u.n. we also issued a global shipping advisory along wour colleagues in the state department and the u.s. coast guard highlighting to the world north korea's deceptive shipping practices. after our designation requires met with injured tics of those designated entities to urge them to take swift action against those entities to the extent they had not already done so. and we are synchronizing our actions in these and other ways with our interagency partners to maximize the impact of these crucial economic authorities. these actions have built on our full court e for the to maximize pressure on the kim regime. over the last year, in addition to tough u.n. security council resolution, tresh ury has designated over 200 individuals and entities in connection with the north korea threat. we have amplified this pressure in multiple other ways. this includes the actions we have brought under section 311 authority,

it's a risk based decision tool to inform the investments in our prioritization of projects. so it's based on hazard capablities and economic losses through the moneytization and characterization of actions. the outcomes is a quantification of like safety damages and disruptions from seismic and flood scenarios. and identifying the land use environment and urban constraints and opportunities which will also be an important aspect in the prioritization of the project. so some of the highlights. we've initiated the seismic assessment methodology approach for both the flooding and the seismic. we actually have presented some preliminary approach to the seism seismic peer review panels and we've gotten some feedback that we're going to be incorporating that. we'll be developing -- we're in the process of developing a gif asset inventory for not only the economic analysis that will help drive our analysis of the direct and indirect consequences that are eventually monetized but that will be used for compiling all of the data for geotechnical investigation, drawings, data and studi

has been out front using the messenger as a powerful campaigning tool. many religious and civic groups that share the b.g.p. is hindu nationalist agenda and also very active what happens take the cow protectors for instance who in parts of india operate with impunity as the party has bocas to its efforts undertaken. eating cow slaughter and be feeding across the country dedicated groups have sprung up on whatsapp tracking and targeting those they suspect of harming animals considered sacred by hindus just over three years ago in september two thousand and fifteen in a village just outside of delhi the local cow protection group got an alert of a man mohammad o'clock who had supposedly killed a cow and stored its meat in his house that information has yet to be verified but it triggered a deadly domino effect people see this where they don't go to law enforcement agency agencies they don't call it the police saying that look is over there's a possibility that a plug could go to go to his religion drag him out and beat him to death and brutally assaulted h

and then, quantum workplace also offers a lot of communication tools that we can communicate the results across organization and communicate how we're taking action on those. and finally, even after we have successfully analyzed our results, planned to take actions, and have taken actions and communicated that, it's difficult and challenging to do this again year after year and make sure it's continuous. you know, staff leave and they might take that survey knowledge with them, and sometimes the surveys may change? and so with quantum workplace, it's really easy to run an annual survey over and over again. the results stay within the system. everything is connected? and if we want to run other surveys, as well, for example, exit surveys, that will all be connected in the system. and we can look at -- excuse me -- if people are engaged here, and whether that is aligned with our exit survey results. >> so we just wanted to share some of the project details, including the timeline and next steps. we started in november . those efforts were before our team was brought onto this project, but

there are tools available to us. and again, i think that it in fairness, you can't say that nothing has been done, but my point is that it has not been enough. >> it has not been enough. >> and clearly what we have dnen is not enough. i am mindful of my role as an operational commander. >> i appreciate that it is not enough, and it is not going to help if you don't have tools in the tool box the pick them up and use them, and russia going to keep trying to interfere in the election, and if the trump administration does not fully implement sanctions, then we are not using every tool we can to effectively deter russia from undermining dem kocracy in the future. let me ask you one other question if i can, and mirl. it is clear that the united states needs to step up its s cyber game. i want to follow up on the question from senator tillis. we previously discussed the question of how to build a skilled cyber force, and you said that the improving d.o.d.'s network defenses and building a cyber control is to attract the mo

in the traditional tool, in addition to the traditional tools of the cold war, mr. putin has at his disposal a wide array of nonconventional weapons and tools, tools like cyberattacks, energy deals, hacking, selective leaking, and a bot army to sew and spread disinformation. these tools are all designed to help russia undermine its enemies in the west. but they're often deployed. and this is, again, one of the distinctions between a phase of conflict we are in now versus the traditional cold war, many of these tools are actually deployed by non-state surrogates. thereby giving russia the ability to claim deniability when their hand or their agents are caught taking some of these actions. the bottom line, i believe rather than a framework of an old cold war, i believe we're now engaged in a fight in the shadows. and i'm not sure that's a fight that we're currently winning. so, again, let me take a moment to at least give my perspective on how we got here and what we need to do on a going forward basis. after the berlin -- after the berlin wall fell, the united states

are emerging twenty first century city just east for the first century tools tools like artificial intelligence makes reality sensors instead of things only using. the plumbing system which is. inclusive. and that works. in this day and age when these tools are transforming all other industries why is it though the way we plan cities is so firmly stuck in the past. question so we've published recently a plan that addresses this issue and we've got to think about how cities work with live work play study. we need a simple example when it comes to new developments a developer is required to think about. essential gas electric water. broadband is now an essential public utility when it comes to designing new buildings we want to think about technology that. patience was we've now got a situation where every building that bill would think of making sure it's a small building thinking about. you know where people live but also can you have joint work live spaces can you make sure you're thinking about. when it comes to new generations of londoners and to the point that you raises all the challenges

they have tools at their dispos disposal. february 14th in that school when the kids had the presence of mind to use their phones to document what was going on. and then to use social media to spread the message to a day we have now where there are more than 800 marches across the world because they're in solidarity. i have spoken to so many of these students the last 39 days who are using social media, the internet, the imagery as a tool to motivate and bring people together in this unified fight against violence. >> absolutely. and it seems like that's one of the reasons why this time is different. i have been down to parkland a couple times now. these students are creating these video. this #whatif campaign. they are racking up twitter followers, retweets. they are using those tools to get the message out there. they are inspiring kids across the country to come here. i met a bunch of kids from across the country. they were begging their parents, high schoolers, begging their parents to come here for their spring break. we

we are strong believers of this tool. intent- it would be our to continue -- that these institutions continue to have meaningful, strong, periodic, and frequent stress test. we see it as an important tool for these institutions. hope folks: i listening to this, we are not touching anything on the largest institutions in terms of the annual stress test on folks who have 250, and as the chairman of the fed has indicated, even among those banks between 100 and 250 were circling to have frequent, periodic stress tests that are still going to be strong. in legislation lays out detail the requirements would have in those stress tests. my last question is this -- in terms of overall enhanced prudential standards. to 100 50 billion the grouput we viewed of institutions between 100 and 250 billion and 18 must. onth period to tailor those standards more appropriately. as you indicated we have an institution below $250 billion that qualifies -- i would like for the record for folks watching who want to debate next week that you will

the top positions well according to the numbers that you have shown us they seem to be an adequate tool because they are implemented in the supervisor boards and they work in the supervisory board so maybe it's worse to think of extending this quarter's also to other firms not only to this one hundred seventh that you mentioned and what else needs to be done quotas that one facet i want to see as sure for in order to achieve gender equality you need more than one tool and enjoy many of the very important reforms that needs to be that need to be done. for instance the married couples exploiting should be reformed in order to achieve more labor market attachment to women. then there should be also extension of father's share of parental leave and surely such tools as flexible working time should be there not only for women but also for men i mean obviously your species your great deal of sense however there is resistance why is it so difficult because it's argued again and again in particular in germany by potence of quotas for example that ultimately it's in the economic interest to say

of how the trump campaign used cambridge analytica tools.y figured occupant the phrase drain the swamp made people angry at career politicians and what make them want to vote for trump, i am not making this up. trump told it to them himself. >> it is a term that was give init me, i like to think them up myself but this was given to me, they had the expression drain the swamp. and i hated it. i thought it was so hokey. i said that is the hokiest, give me a break, i'm embarrassed to say it and i was in florida, where 25,000 people going wild. and i said and we will drain the swamp. the place went crazy. i couldn't believe it. >> trevor: yeah, neither could we. you know, you always think it's unreal stksz when villains reveal their entire scheme and you see this and are you like you see, mr. bond, unless someone finds the hidden switch under my castle, no one will be able to stop the bomb. that's why-- oh, he's gone, oh no. so thanks to cambridge analytica trump knew drain the swamp would drum up anti-establishment votes. people who might have

one of the key tools is through an immediate suspension order referred to as an administrative tool used as an emergency intervention to stop them from continuing to prescribe or dispense opioids that could kill drug seekers or put the public at risk. you agree with that as well. a pharmacy in florida received an increase of oxycodone of almost 2500% compared to one year earlier. in the parking lot of the pharmacy for selling and trading pills police officers were concerned customers were getting high in the parking lot and getting on the road to endangering the public. the continued distancing by the pharmacy with its parking lots of drug pushers in users would get high o on that road didn't e an imminent danger wouldn't you agree yes or no? you woul but also in may i assue speed is crucial in the imminent suspension orders to protect the public yes or no. please refer to another e-mail before you and ask unanimous consent there's two different dates on it. the e-mail chain august of 2013 shows the lawyers are requiring people to submit an expert witness report for the assessment of dat

health claims are one such tool. the fda must modernize our approach while also playing an important role in ensuring the tools are effectively deployed. these claims can show a food component may reduce the risk of a health-related condition such as the relationship between -- and the risk of birth defects. qualified health claims are another example. these are claims that are supported by some scientific evidence, but don't meet the significant scientific agreement standard. for example, the relationship between consuming certain oils and the reduction of the risk of coronary heart disease. a few package might have a nutrient content claim right -- like good source of calcium per serving. it is in everyone's interest to have meaningful claims consumers can trust. it is also important the fda does not permit claims that could lead people to consume more products that are not healthful. that's why we are asking what more we can do to encourage meaningful claims that reflect the latest nutrition science and could spur

we have become an essential tool for public safety.as part of our broader national alert system that will state and local authorities transmit emergency messages to fema. fema formats those messages and sends them out to the different alerting systems. wireless providers deliver authorized messages to a particular geographic area as determined by the alert authorities. wireless providers do not control the content of the messages into not exercise discretion on whether to send them. because local authorities can target specific geographic areas they are extremely effective at reaching americans direct impacted by the emergency system and we have found the dash make sure everyone can beware beware. wireless emergency alerts have help to address terrorist threats suspects like in the boston bombing in the 2016 chelsea bamiyan helped return abducted children and warned millions of people in the past of severe weather events. we continue to expand and improve wea's capabilities. the past year the fcc adopted rules restrain the content of a
