w teams access unfettered access immediate access to these sites you know we can't get around the fact that the syrian government and their russian allies control the territory we're talking about so clearly there's a lot more blame on their side but we should also take a step back and understand that this investigation in itself is barred from a sighting responsibilities so what we need those inspectors to get access unfettered immediate access we also need to take a step back and realize this investigation by itself won't help advance accountability in and of itself so we need to see solutions that advance an end to this conflict so would you would you go so far then as to say that this team in this project is actually irrelevant now given that the u.k. france and the united states have already passed judgment. no i don't think it's a rove and i mean i think certainly we're going to need a long term process of accountability here that process of accountability is needed going to need the kinds of fact finding missions that the o.p.c. w. has bravely been attempting to do for a number

in duma you've heard from the british member of the delegation saying that this is access and unfettered access is crucial for them to be able to carry out their job their mandate is to investigate whether in attack the police or not without assigning blame to any side we've heard from the russian side saying that the access needs to be granted by the united nations and it is interesting that during the day we also heard from russian wires that there was some sort of fighting on the ground in duma you have to remember that forty eight hours ago the syrian government claimed that there is it is in full control of the town of duma reached out to jewish and slam the fighters who were in duma who say that all of their members have been evacuated to aleppo and they took this decision to leave duma to try and save lives so it is very interesting that this delegation which was actually inside the syrian capital damascus on the request of syria and russia is now waiting to be granted access by syria and russia syria and russia obviously say that this delay has been caused by the attacks that wer

the president has never had an unfettered unrestrictedd authority over law enforcement in the history of our democracy, and i will just weekly quote, if i could, university of chicago law professor poster.t. the founders did not get the president the power to determine the necessary offices and positions within law enforcement. they gave congress the power to define those offices. the founders did that give the president budgetary control over law enforcement. that par with the congress. the constitution recognize the grand jury which isrc executive power. it is not under the control of the president. there are many different sources i could cite showing that the weight of authority supports the constitution of this bill. i think it is important that we proceeded with the bill once convinced of its constitutionality, and i will submit for the record later some elected republicans, former federal judges, prosecutors appointed by republicans and a series of constitutional law professor. why is that important? a question was raised about whether we wereio proceeding rooted in confidence

we continue to call on all parties in the conflict to allow free and unfettered access into and throughout in order to save lives and reduce suffering. while the united states remains committed to relieving the suffering of the people, humanitarian alone cannot solve this conflict. this will only come through a comprehensive agreement and we look forward to the day there's a lasting political solution in yemen that will allow the fighting to end and enable the country to develop its own path to self-reliance. addressing the crisis requires all of our governments tools, humanitarian assistance and development, diplomacy and the sense. that's why i'm grateful you've called all of us here today and i'm happi am happy to take your questions. thank you. >> is a particular honor to appear before you though it is more nerve-racking to appear on this side of the dais. i would ask that my statement be entered into the record. as the secretary said many times our goal is an end through the conflict and the broker to supplement and it affects regional security across the middle east and attends u.s.
