standard for relief should be higher because the implications are going to be dramatic and the veterans association for example is doing this will cause tremendous hardship on the agency and that's the reason for the high bar so how do you respond to that? >> i'll take the highh bar issue first. it is a high bar.r it is much narrower than direct appeal. on direct appeal the veteran can raise all kindsiret of league -- legal procedural factual errors that are notac available for queue... >> i'm wondering how high a bar it is. any regulation determined under the true petition the statute you say it's a clear no mistake about aaron if it's not can you tell me what it it is? >> i would agree with you your honor. we do think any error of statutory interpretation so long as it affects the income falls within queue andwi that makes sense. that's consistent with other high bar -- >> how does that make sense because 20 years later you have a regulation that everyone's's followed in the courses that's actually inconsistent with the statute. you don't just do that going forward y at the supplemental claim. yo

the associated press is reporting on a surprise prisoner exchange between the u.s. and russia, 30-year-old marine veteran trevor reed had been serving a nine-year sentence in russia after being arrested in 20 19 for allegedly assaulting a police officer. he has now been released in exchange for a russian pilot who is jailed in the u.s. for conspiring to smuggle cocaine into the country. the ap says, even as the biden administration forwarded the swarm, it made clear the resolution did not herald a broader rate through between their countries, in reference to the outgoing tensions of the war in ukraine. in a separate matter the house is now approved a resolution calling for the release of another american detained in russia, michigan businessmen paul we lin was arrested in december of 2018 on an espionage charge. he was later convicted and sentenced to 16 years in prison. the resolution calling for his release was unanimously passed. here's the floor debate. mr. philips: i rise today in strong support of h.res. 336. calling on government of the russian federation to provide evidence or to release united s

association of the u.s. navy, jason beardsly. he is a decorated combat veteran and intelligence officer with a combined 22 years of fleet, navy, army, special forces and joint special operations experience. sir, thank you for being on this morning. it appears putin is regrouping in some way, shape or form. if chemical weapons cannot be confirmed, is it safe to make an assumption they are an inevitability in this war? >> well, thank you for the introduction. i think an inevitability is a little bit too aggressive. obviously the russians are not acting like a professional military. that's pretty habitual for them. you talk about the bucha massacres and what we saw in syria. this is not a disciplined military, and on top of that, as your reporting has laid out wonderfully this morning, everything from the beginning of this invasion from intelligence to military logistics and supplies has been a mess. now putin is looking to take out that vengeance on his internal fsb agents as well as the military. this thing is a disaster. the real advantage here for president bid

in the arctic association , special attention is paid here, all opportunities for training youth and professional growth and all conditions for long-term stable work are created. veteransf the enterprise are often of paramount importance precisely the experience of prescribing everything in the instructions is simply impossible and you always need an assessment of a qualified specialist, creative and the interested approach of the arctic; durable , updated, and in fact, new shields. photo shield, which you have repaired, this is a reception area, these shields have already passed tomorrow 's test, they are ready to be sent to the consumer. that is, or we will transfer it to the warehouse, that is, but it is actually new, right? if we take small shields, that is, the repair of the entire tire group, yes, the restoration of the paintwork, the replacement of generally rusted, deformed parts. well, we get it by touch, its service life is exactly the same as it presses a lot and other unique products. they are united by the highest reliability ability for many years without fail work in the harshest conditions. this is a fairly large part of our production. this means that

veterans and servicemembers, the incidence of breast cancer is i want is ited to be up to 40% higher than the general population. given the dangerous environments in which military members serve and additional risk factors associates, it's long overdue for the department of veterans affairs to update its policies for administering mammograms. we know early detection is crucial to preventing and treating breast cancer, so making sure those who are more vulnerable receive screenings at a younger age is not only reasonable but critical. this would have helped dr. kate hendricks thomas, a marine veteran, who was unaware of her increased risk for breast cancer. she shared her memories of deployment to fallujah in 2005 last year. she understood the risk associated with ied's. she wasn't concerned with the impact of what she called, quote, the flaming poison, end quote, surrounding her would have on her own health. in a routine medical appointment with her v.h.a. health provider in 23018, kate thought it was odd she was recommended to undergo a mammogram. that exam subsequently led to her diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer. she was 38 years old. that's devastating news for anyone to face, and i know the entire senate jo

veterans day celebrated in israel. basically, the israeli political class commemorates the sacrifice made by the red army, which liberated the auschwitz death count. this is the first association that comes to mind of most israelis when i mentioned the soviet union or the red army. they say, the red army liberated auschwitz. they insinuate that the russian army liberated europe. our reading of the red army is a bit different. many other areas in which we had disagreements with israel, it was also a very important topic. i had countless discussions with israeli interlocutors. >> people would say that the concentration camps work in poland. were you criticized? are you surprised that the israeli government is trying to be an intermediary? >> to put it dramatically, 8-bit disappointed, not surprised. a phrase i heard on multiple occasions in israel was russia is our neighbor. not geographically, but geopolitically. they met the russian military presence in the middle east, in syria. they have that agreement with russia which allows them to carry out air operations targeting, attacking iranian targets. it is important for them to maintain a decent relationship with russia. on the
