With the black Emergency Managers association. I think she summed it up in terms of disaster management, in terms of the Emergency Management network. Guinea liberia sierra leone for the west african nations that needs to be established. I think your ims system was outstanding, setting that up, the coordination with stakeholders involved and thats going to be a key to rebuilding your Health Care Structures especially from the Community Level level. I want to commend you for all the work youve done. One other thing with dr. Lacy that he mentioned with the response to that and usually response worldwide is how are volunteers getting reimbursed and paid . I think youre leading towards that. I met with him at georgetown and we discussed that. I didnt talk to you yesterday at the world bank but you mentioned that those plans you have in place, youre at that stage to build the Liberian National Emergency Management system or agency. Thats all i want to say. Thank you. Why dont we come back t
That the Laboratory System is strengthened, the capacity of our liberian military guys to do a job. So you feel confident that today you have, through the incident with the oversight of the Incident Management System you have access to sufficient ambulances and laboratories . You have the isolation and containment. You have the Case Investigation Contact Tracing teams, and the data coordination that that infrastructure is in place. It needs to be sustained and strengthened, and as you say within liberia itself, the biggest immediate challenge is montserrat county and monrovia proper, right . Thats correct. The capacity is there. Our response has reached optimum that we can respond effectively at any time. We can, every county has a wellbuilt Isolation Unit with the u. S. General and myself were in the last etu, second to the last etu where the results are. Every county is having its own ebola treatment unit. Thats the Case Management components out of it.

The expectations we have of adoptive families, we certainly have an interest in avoiding a double standard, but it suggested for a subset, and probably a very small subset of adoptive parents, there may be a different standard. What do you think about the evidence that she is uncovered as to the rate of adoptive versus biological parents that are advertising on the internet . You know, its hard for me to say because i dont know what the mindset was of these folks making these poor decisions. I do think that obviously when they adopted a child, they did not take that responsibility of becoming a parent in the way i think it was intended. Certainly, i think its important for laws to be clear how children, when they are placed outside a parents home, what types of laws and regulations should guide that. That should be equally true.

Of life are once more under threat. We are surrounded by conflict, danger, disorder and autocratic regimes. Instability from the middle east, to north africa and the sahara. Rising tensions and territorial dispute in asia, and revisionist russia breaking International Rules and undermining trust. But russia is not just trying to recreate a sphere of influence. It has dealt a dangerous blow to the International Rulesbased system we have built up over decades. And its illegal and illegitimate actions encourage other autocratic regimes to follow suit. The best way to face such threats is clear. We must be confident in our values. Reenforce our readiness and strengthen the transatlantic bond that remains the bedrock of our international order. Since world war ii, the solution to every strategic challenge has been transatlantic, be it the cold war, the balkans, afghanistan or the financial crisis. America and europe working together, training together, and when necessary, fighting together.
