i need to be confident that the final undertakings ensure that sky news remains financially viable overo operate as a major uk—based news provider and is able to take its editorial decisions independently, free from any potential outside influence. with me is matthew garrahan, global media editor at the financial times. it is good to see you. first of all. this was not a surprise really, as long as mr murdoch gets rid of sky news. it is the end of what has been a pretty torturous and long process. murdoch controls fox and owns 39% of sky and he led for all of sky 16 months ago and since then, various regulators have been looking at the deal, wayne it up and politicians have come forward and objected to it, so the move today, that was the end of the process. now we will have a huge bidding war. hancock said that the murdoch bid can go forward provided sky news is sold. disney said it wanted to buy sky news, disney is also trying to buy fox, but as far as sky is concerned, murdoch and fox are one side and comcast on the other, the largest cable company in america and it wa nts s ky cable

we hadn't -- not even the wherewithal to be able to undertake any of that work.even if we wanted to. and we wouldn't have wanted to and we never have. >> so is there -- so was there documents being presented and you'll be able to introduce them to channel 4. you were saying one thing about your potential client to what the company does but in reality you don't do any of these things. >> look, i think you need to be careful about making sweeping statements. [ inaudible conversations ] >> there was one interview and it was very leading. and the questions were deliberately opaque and they led me down a certain road. and i've already apologized to the board and the shareholders and the employees. and, you know, i'm very sorry. i was so foolish to fall for a trick like that. but it was a trick. and it doesn't represent what we do. and it wouldn't be fair to characterize me or the company by that one incident. >> i'm talking specifically of other questions and what you said -- you were recorded as saying. that reflects the sorts of things that you say. those are the so

what are we undertaking against president trump's protectionist strategy? the very mechanism itself is flawed, and i must say it is very hard to see how an aston martin to be a threat to united states national security, even ifjames bond owned it. now, mps are to hold an emergency debate on repealing a iso—year—old law that criminalises abortion in northern ireland. the call to abolish the 186! offences against the person act came from the labour mp stella creasy. the impact of the irish referendum has been felt around the world. 2.1 million people voted, of which 1.4 million voted to repeal article eight which prevents abortion. but in doing so, they have thrown a spotlight on the situation in northern ireland where a million people are affected. the situation in which if a uk citizen is raped and seeks a termination as a result, she faces a longer prison sentence than her attacker. where a mother of a much wanted child given a heartbreaking diagnosis of fatal foetal abnormality is forced to travel overseas for treatment. where uk citizens are currently on

this vehicle for this is the very and luxurious and a diamond founding letter of undertaking.ou would use a letter of undertaking if you are a diamond company, you want to buy jewels abroad, you want to make the transaction in u.s. dollars without taking out loans in rubies, converting them and getting them abroad and all the hassle and expense that that entails. instead, you go to a state run break which had a branch in a wouldike new york and you say hey, i want tomorrow u.s. dollars to buy diamonds. havetate run bank may not a branch or a big outlet there, but there is let's say, another indian bank that does. you go to that bank and say i want u.s. dollars. if they say we need some kind of guarantee of sorts that you are good for this, the state run bank says this is a letter of undertaking. we're going to be the intermediary for this transaction. we are good for it. >> simply says we know this guy, he is good for it. it's all fine, proceed with dispensing this money, essentially. >> exactly. the money eventually makes its way to the diamond company. and thenget bought, in

we did not have the wherewithal to undertake that work even if we wanted to. we would not have wanted to and we never have. >> in patents and documents presented, you were given wide range, you say one thing to potential clients about the company does but in reality you don't do those things, you don't do infiltration. >> i think you need to be careful about making sweeping statements. there was one interview. it was very leading. the questions were deliberately opaque and led me down a certain road. i have already apologized to the board and their shareholders and employees. i'm very sorry, i can say to everyone i was so foolish to fall for a trick like that. it was a trick. and it does not represent what we do. and it would not be fair to categorize me or the company by that one incidents. >> i'm sure we can look at these as we go through the questions, what you said, you were recorded saying it reflects the sort of things you say. those are the things you say to potential clients, things that are put in to those documents to potential clients. it's an attem

for the 17-18 deferred maintenance project, the department proposes to undertake a range of water, heat, sewer and air handling repairs that have impacted our building infrastructure and specifically you see the list in the package there, a long variety of boiler replacements and air handler replacements at a variety of recreation centers and facilities. at the palace of fine arts, we have two sewer lift stations which need upgrades so they stop malfunctioning. golden gate park, a central pump station replacement of pump variable frequency drives, and in support of the 20-21 recycled water project in golden gate park. and lastly, music concourse fountains system needs some repair and upgrade, variable frequency drives as well. on the list there, all of those projects total the $1,155,000 we are requesting from the deferred maintenance contingency reserve. secondly, for the undesignated reserve subfund, we are proposing two distinct infrastructure projects. the first one is the continuation of the acquisition and installation of wildlife proof waste receptacles. in 2014, i was before you

i called it today so we could begin to drill down into the true cost of a major undertaking providing universal broadband to shine a light on what to me has been a process that's been moving forward ut much public attention and quite frankly without much transparency, the city has a poor track record when it comes to delivering big infrastructure projects on cost and on time, i will simply point to the central subway project. i feel it's our responsibility as budget committee members to ensure there's transparency, accountability, as well as fiscal responsibility in all of our financial undertakings. that's why it's prudent for us to openly thfinancial undertakings of this particular proposed program. there's a few things i want to layout before we get into the presentation to help frame the conversation. first, what is the current plan for fiber? who are the actors? and who will be in charge moving forward? for what reason was this particular technology chosen? of course, how much is it going to cost the city. i'm also curious to know what the cost to the rate payers will be and most

>> in some cases we undertake due diligence and in others we don't. if you are -- it is a different value proposition, a different proposition, working for a company you never heard about. so it is not a yes or no answer.>> okay. finally, can we go back to where we started about middle east dollars. did you take them from -- company? >> again, i think i have answered this clearly. which is, that story was based on a false allegation and it has been very bad -- very inaccurately reported and i sought briefly before i came to this hit -- committee hearing and have not had a chance to read it properly and i did and decide what my counsel and how we want to -->> i am sorry, did you -- >> to answer your question, i am not answering your question. i have not had the ability to consider the matter, myself and decide what action i will take. >> i don't want to answer the question. >> okay. >> in february, mr. nix, we need fact, not prejudices or conspiracy theories. but to this day you have presented cabbage analytica -- cambridge analytica as a company striv

we have taken the precedent it steps of -- support funds as a result that pakistan had not been undertaking the decisive steps necessary. i think we agree that pakistan has a lot to gain by peace in afghanistan. the challenge is, how do you secure pakistan support for the political process rather than the proxies. we for positive statements from the chief of army staff from pakistan he says there can be no room for nonstate actors that pakistan cannot be a normal state as long as there's extremist groups on the soil but we need to see action. we do not to live that pakistan has fought its own heroic bottles against terrorism. large part it defeated the pakistani taliban and reintegrated the tribal areas into the governing system of pakistan. we treat all terrorists as our terrorists. we expect that pakistan should do the same. >> i hope they continue to withhold that funding until we see measurable action. how is the administration building relationships with central asia countries to reduce our dependence on pakistan? >> we've had excellent relations. a long-standing efforts to create a ne

your eye, god, watching over us with the inscription god has favored our undertakings. therefore, god, we ask that you favor the undertakings of this great house by strengthening it to fulfill the noble symbols of the great seal and accomplishing the continued building of our great nation guided by the god in whom we trust. i pray this prayer in the name of my lord, jesus christ. amen. the speaker pro tempore: the chair has examined the journal of the last day's proceedings and announces to the house his approval thereof. pursuant to clause 1 of rule 1 the journal stands approved. for what purpose does the gentleman from michigan seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, pursuant to clause 1, rule 1, i demand a vote on agreeing to the speaker's approval of the journal. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on agreeing to the speaker's approval of the journal. all those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. >> mr. speaker, i object to the vote on the grounds that a quorum is not present and i make a point of order that a quorum s

the facet over the last 16 years we have built up a cadre of afghans of the responsibilities to undertake the responsibility reside in their institutions. >> another thing that needs to be a pre-requisite is within the government of afghanistan, that government has two credibly combat corruption. that has been a long-standing problem. we have our special investigator with reconstruction where we spent 55 million per year just to make sure funds are not misused. my time is expired. but i would suggest tripling down in terms of the pressure we apply on the government there to have transparency into and the practices. that is the only sure way to rally confidence on the part of the afghan population. >> thank you mr. chairman. thank you besser. i have that you support negotiation with the taliban. as far as i'm concerned your support ads to the mixed signals were hearing from the administration. when you and secretary pompeo say that we should negotiate, not sure if you're speaking for yourself for the administration. the white house has not been clear. the way i see it, if we can go up to k

rather than undertake eradication which is not supported by the afghan government, it's too go to step up. through targeting of the drug network, to get to that level of individuals who are benefiting more and a greater part of the drug trade. they continue the institutional development to respond to the narcotics threat. i agree we learn from the example of the columbia peace process and how hard it is. >> i just want to make sure it doesn't go the other way for the sake of peace. >> i think you can look at it two ways. it showed incredible unity that still exists in afghanistan. the fact that combatants and pro-government supporters gather together tens of thousands of people praying together in places like kandahar where it's the heartland of the taliban, i think it's hope that the basic in sinews are there. we've seen the government of national unity had to deal with issues of inclusivity and trying to ensure that all facets of afghan society are represented in government, and i think they will be a great deal of importance attached to the credibility and the conduct of the electio

it's a great logistical undertaking so these are some of the solutions and they are clearly not perfect solutions. there ways to address this problem and to keep the family together but you are opening up other issues that will come up. >> host: let's hear from eric in maryland. independent line. >> caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. please, my first one is i am in law enforcement and i'm also [inaudible] and [inaudible] i'm a proud us citizen. i did it legally. second, law enforcement the way the democrats have been demonizing law enforcement is [inaudible]. we don't enforce the law the way we see but the way it is written. if congress wants to have or if the democrats want to have a open policy and change the law and make america open so that anyone can come here. >> host: eric, your question please. >> caller: my question is my question is what do you think the democrats and the republicans because both are playing games. >> host: okay. we believe it there. >> guest: i think these are difficult issues and to his point are they playing games both sides are trying to r

in april i was impressed and encouraged by the prime minister's commitment to undertake reforms that could well advance the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights and principles including a broad space for expression peaceful assembly and a civil society participation following a long period of reluctance to engage with international human rights bodies the recent conclusion of a much awaited emer you will facilitate an extensive room for the office in the country and i encourage the authorities to also accept visits by and guidance from special procedures experts in the context of their ongoing reforms i applaud the lifting of the state of emergency earlier this month as well as the release of a number of political detainees while recognizing challenges i look forward to assisting the authorities in furthering respect for the human rights of all in its european i welcome armenia's recent decision to enable the office to contribute more effectively to upholding the rights of armenia's people including its invitation to provide technical assistance through presence prese

action by undertaking courageous initiatives. have been focused on reaching our goal and we have been calling upon continually building confidence building triumphs and creating a climate of friendships which will def give us a chance to creative talent and potential solutions what we have learned is that we need to learn from history and. not repeat. the lesson with that when countries are in the world isn't peace and when countries are in agony and the world suffers through the. foundations of the past we are building the future what has the agreement cause the agreement has grabbed us courage to reach greater trust between the two countries. rationed to raising if should peace which will certainly bring better life for six months of both countries. and the person that has brought us to a solution has brought a friend a friend until yesterday's. environment have convinced the. enemy that cannot be appeased we are building a friendship with free greece with partners and allies there will be asa poor choice together we have. for

he was right to undertake the kind of very aggreeanticorruptie seen. it's been five years end of the year he has arrested more people than the year before. last year 570,000 officials were arrested with a 99% successful prosecution rate, as you might imagine. >> impressive legal training. to what extent does all of this represent, not so much a departure, but more a return to what was the case? you said before that there were big elements of deng xiaoping's philosophy -- don't pick on me for my pronunciation like you always do, please. to what extent does this really, a a return if you will to previous china, a combination like yes, yes and patient that a but also particularly domestically? does this represent a return to a china much top have become more authoritarian, , and some ways that are familiar? >> sure. one of the interesting things i found when doing research for the book was many of the things that xi jinping has been doing domestically has had long lineage threat chinese history. self censorship, for example, is something that dates back c

>> verification is tough on undertakings like this.d probably do it if we have the right kind of cooperation from kim jong un his people. they haved het to undertake serious inspections before the north koreans. the iranians were extraordinary duplicitous in steering people away of anything that was interesting to look at. their agreement was signed happily and then taken apart by president trump. the one situation i am the most concerned about, not because i'm really worried about it because it is so important, is china. with a cooperativehina, will work this out. but with a china that believes that they have to stand up to us in the south china sea or what, we could stumble here. but so far i've got to say my wife's prognostication that president trump was going to get elected and rule the way has come i couldn't believe it. she had it right and i had it wrong. >> laura: [laughs] well, that's a man we like. all we women love to hear that. [laughs] thank you for your thoughts, so important to get them tonight. in the wake of yesterday

not least because i will seek undertakings to make sure sky news remains viable over the long—term andcians without fear or favour. matt hancock. finally, on the day that the decision was made to expand heathrow airport, one conservative mp offered more than just an opinion on the matter. i read the newspaper there may be some barriers put to actual construction, so could i offer my services with someone with expert driving bulldozers. could that possibly have been a reference to borisjohnson who said he would "lie down in front of bulldozers" to stop a new runway being built? we'll never know, but chris grayling certainly found it funny. and that's all we've got time for. hello once again. we just have time to update you on the weather prospects for the next couple of days for all parts of the british isles. wednesday starts with low cloud to the eastern side of the pennines and a lot of dry weather as you step out of the door first thing. a couple of showers getting into the channel and the odd shop one close by to the border as well. many locations exceeding 20 celsius. on through t

how are you planning to undertake this whole initiative and eliminate these lack rats?are extremely steep and inaccessible, and so the idea with our programme is that we need to deliver dates to the entire island for it to be successful —— baits. and as i said, we will kick off today with that programme and it will run over the next three weeks. and what do you hope to achieve after the three—week baiting programme? so black rats on these islands is obviously a high priority conservation management programme. we know these islands are really important seabird nesting areas, and they also play an important role as areas for migratory birds to the great barrier reef and the southern hemisphere to rest, recuperate, and obviously feed and forage on. so while you are undertaking this three—week baiting programme, will these islands be totally closed off these islands be totally closed off the tourists? so they will be closed, not because the infestations are so high that it would be a problem for visitors to them. it is highly unlikely our visitors to these islands would eve

we decided we e would undertake writing a booing. we worked for two years during multiple versions of the text. getting inputs and pushing each other to make our explanations crystal clear. over the past 30 years our book has been translated into more than a dozen languages and used by more than 100,000 studentses around the world. that decision to try to change how our field was learned has give me the pleasure of educating students around the world. assigned thousands and thousands of textbooks and taken even more selfies than that. i found it especially rewarding to be able to touch and help students learn around the world. sometimes our passions are shap ed by our encounters with others. other the years, i had met many students who can attend stanford only with significant financial assistant. they varied from an under graduate who grew up in a migrant farming community, and a teacher who returned to the inner city school to teach high school. i was impressed. those experiences lead to my deep commitment for the financial aid. du

back when i worked in the health ited services committee, proposed the dod undertake an annual study of chinese military power every year, which was immediately identified on the part of the white house. 25 years of that study later, it thatecome commonplace china is a rising, great power. been a lot of talk about chinese economic growth, the increase in military power, thatdeological competition it is beginning to undertake. overall, the strategic conversation lacks a couple of things that need to be tossed into the mix before we can intelligently or successfully undertake this competition. on, we still kind of lack a game plan, to a certain degree. i will suggest two things need to be tossed in. that itt element is would be good to have a historical analogy that could help us think through the nature of the chinese challenge. just reading the literature over thosest generation or so, who have attempted to do it have likened the rise of china to the rise of germany in the late 19th century and early 20th century, which i think is only an analogy of limited value. the one i want to t

they are undertaking what is by all accounts the most dangerous journey a person can undertake in theorld right now. it is absolutely a risk for death and rape and sexual assault and for kidnapping. and the only reason people are doing that is because they're in despera desperate straits. because their 12-year-old or 15-year-old was drawn into the car tell or was beaten on the side of the road. no one is coming across this journey of the most dangerous miles you can traverse in the world to the immigration lawyer i talked to, get a new refr refrigerator. by definition the trip itself is a deterrent and people are doing it for their children because they're afraid their children will be taken from them, killed in the cartels if they stay. >> what's the most important thing you think you're digging into tonight as this crisis continues? >> i think it has to be seen as part of a larger enterprise by this administration to essentially choke off all of this. and what we're sort of coming into view is somewhere inside dhs some switch got flipped. child separation is part of it. what's happe

to see them as a very viable career path and to undertake public service and to progress as leaders withinr trains and jobs and roles that come with and the forces when we're talking about medics or dentist, just an example. it is the way of looking at the forces, not just for sikhs, but in the wider think, there are opportunities. they have undertaken quite a lot of effort in recent yea rs undertaken quite a lot of effort in recent years to engage the diverse communities. now, the onus is on the communities. now, the onus is on the communities themselves to look upon the engagement efforts that these forces are undertaking in various regiments and units around the country. and to have that dialogue, to have that conversation about what life in uniform might mean for the members. certainly hearkens back to the conditions and the warrior ways, it isa the conditions and the warrior ways, it is a natural sink there that appealed to young sikhs men and women. that is now time for the communities to step up and take this wonderful opportunity. thank you very much for talking to us. a man has ap

dave and i decided we would undertake writing a book based on those principles. we worked intensely for two years doing multiple versions of the text, getting input from dozens of reviewers, and pushing each other to make our explanations crystal-clear. over the past 30 years, our book is been translated than a dozen languages and used by more than 100,000 students around the world. that decision to try to change out our field was a learned has given me the pleasure of educating students around thehe world. i have signed thousands and thousands of textbooks, and take it even selfies than that, and i found itie especially rewardingo be able to touch and help students learn around the world. sometimes our passions are shaped by our encounters with others. over the years as a professor i have met many students who can attend stanford only with significant financial assistance. they varied from an undergraduate who it grown up in a migrant farming family, to a graduate student eager to pursue her masters and return to her urban inner-city school to teach high school.

this was quite a massive undertaking. i know the amount of time it took for me to read through this report, and i still feel like i don't understand, oly,us completely. this was really huge. there's so much good information in there, and i do come away with it -- my sense of frustration is, perhaps, a bit reduced and i'm hopeful we're going to be able to wrap our arms around it and work towards it. i think that some of the things that stuck out to me was the actual identifying how much of our traffic is tmzs. ouas 20% of the traffic isept probably ts. that to me is just appalling. everything we're doing to make our city move more efficiently and we're getting stymied on every street and important transit corridor. so thank you so much for the work on this. going forward, is this going to continue to be a joint ta mta project as we try and kind of work with this and figure out some options that we can implement to make things work a bit better? >> i'll let her speak a little bit to that and then hand it off. there's an ove

the duke of cambridge has arrived in israel, the first member of the british royal family to undertakecial visit to the country. he will also visit the palestinian territories. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is travelling with prince william on his 5—day tour of the middle east and has sent this report. it had become an anomaly which needed to be corrected. israel is a country with which britain has generally good relations, yet for 70 years — since its creation — there has never been an official visit by a member of the british royal family. the region's problems have meant the moment has never been deemed to be right. as prince william arrived at tel aviv airport this afternoon, israel was removed from the diminishing list of nations to which the british royals don't travel. but for all the welcoming smiles, this is a visit which has required a more than usual degree of care in its preparation and one precondition. british officials made it clear from the outset that the visit to israel could only take place if william was also able to visit palestinian territories. it's i

under the legislation i am required to consult formally for 15 days on the undertakings.willingness of the parties to agree the details, i aim to publish this consultation within a fortnight. i am optimistic we can achieve this goal not least the willingness of 21st—century fox joan in developing these credible proposals but if we could agree terms at this point then i agree with the cma that the only effective remedy now would be to block the merger altogether. this is not my preferred approach. mr speaker, we followed a scrupulously fair and impartial process based only on the releva nt impartial process based only on the relevant evidence and objectivity testified by the facts. i would like to thank ofcom, the cma, the parties, my predecessor and my fantastic team at dcms for all the ha rd fantastic team at dcms for all the hard work. i hope we can reach a final agreement very soon. mr speaker, i want to see a paul gustard industry in britain that is strong and effective and competitive andi strong and effective and competitive and i commend this statement to the house

>> verification is tough on undertakings like this.could probably do it if we had the right kind of corporation from kim jong un and his people. because they have sideswiped the effort serious inspections before the north koreans had to. the iranians were extraordinarily duplicitous and stirring everybody away from anything that was interesting to look at and under their agreement that was signed happily, then taken apart by president trump. i think the one situation i am most concerned about, not because i'm worried about it, but because it's important, is china. the cooperative china will work this out. but with china that believesve that they have to stand up to us in the south china sea, or what. we could stumble, but so far, i have to say that, my wife has a prognostication that president trump was going to a geted and b, turn into that, and she was right and i was wrong. >> laura: all women love to thank you so much for your thoughts. in the wake ofay'ssu summit, trunk critics oourse will not give the president a break. >> we hav

that is an enormous undertaking. you can't just send them back the way they came. the process is to put them on airplanes and send them back and you have to have a home country willing to meet them. it's a great expense, a great logisticalund undertaking. these are clearly not perfect solutions. they are ways to address this problem to keep the families together but you're opening up other issues. >> let's hear from eric in maryland. >> caller: hey. good morning. thank you for taking my call. please i just have a couple. my first point is that i'm law enforcement and i'm also an immigrant. i've been in this country more than 14 years. i did it legally. second, law enforcement. the way the democrat are demonizing law enforcement is -- the officer is only there to enforce the law. we don't enforce the law the way we think about the law, we enforce the law because it's the law. if the democrats want to have an open border policy, okay, change the law and let america open so that anybody can come here and we can just let them go free. >> and eric, your question, please

and she is a woman of her word, and she's just given an absolute undertaking at the dispatch box.ob done. but in what feels like a game of "she said, he said," not everyone's version of exactly what was promised is precisely the same. it will, in the end, be determined by what actually is conceded, and it's too soon to tell. my fear, however, is that the damage, frankly, has already been done. the tories are hardly talking each other‘s language, let alone the rest of ours. but what's happening is that the prime minister is trying to please a faction of her party, who want a parliament to have more control if the final brexit deal goes sour. but she also has to keep on board dozens of others, who think if that happens, the best thing might be simply to walk away. but you can hardly please all of the people, all of the time, even on your own side. the leader of the snp in westminster was cross, too... given the disrespect that was shown... last night, there were only minutes of debate about how brexit affects scotland, so used dusty rules of the commons to provoke a row. i order the

we were able to talk privately about the mission that you're about to undertake. i'm going to be very supportive of your nomination. i thank you for taking up the job. but as i mentioned privately, and i'll just say it publicly, you are going to be asked to carry out a policy which speaks to dissolve the transatlantic alliance. and you may have different views and mr. gidwitz, you may have mr. view, and there have been many others that have gone and served in europe sitting exactly where you're sitting that have had different views than that. but you're going to find out the only views that really matter is the president's. and the president has carried out a pretty intentional and consistent policy of trying to undermine our alliance with europe. each country try to leave europe. he uses social media to publish really terrible, awful nation nationalist anti-europe propaganda. he wants russia to be back into the g7 without having done their part with respect to the agreement. and so i appreciate everyone that goes into this administration, especially those parts t
