Marine reserve in the south pacific. Hello there. Thank you for joining us. Afghan forces backed by u. S. Air support have launched a counter offensive to recapture the northernty of kandos. Reporter taliban fighters are now in charge of large parts of condition do you see city. The Afghan Government has announced a Major Military operation to recapture the city. Translator in the first place we should take care of the civilian casualties. We have already paid attention and will continue. The enemy has conceded heavy damages. I dont want to go into the detail of the operations. Reporter special forces have been brought in and the u. S. Military confirmed an air strike on the outskirts of the city on tuesday morning. It has proven difficult to reach the area, because the taliban has set up booby traps along the way. Taliban gunmen broke open the prison, releasing hundreds of inmates most of them former taliban fighters. Taliban forces have issued a statement telling residents not to wor
Civilian are going nowhere, will be if i could, unless the barrel bombing stops, the refugee crisis will continue to get worse. And just in closing, i apologize to my colleagues here, are any of the arab countries, saudi arabia, some of those that are working to unseat assad in certain ways, are they taking any refugees at present . Theyre not signatories to the 1951 convention. They dont recognize the status of refugees. They would say there are 500,000 syrians living in saudi arabia and 120,000 syrians living in the united arab emirates. Some arrived recently, others have been there for a long time but their status is not as refugees but as migrant workers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Chairman. And thank you. I would like to thank our witnesses today, not just for being here today but what youre doing in the middle of a huge crisis. We all empathize. I would like to start with you. In 2011, u. S. Created a vacuum in which isis began to grow. They needed land to legitimize th
I dont think the United States has earned on that at all. My own approach, we talked about a little earlier, my own approach was to have intensive look, i would say the following t structure still exists. Hes not bound by it, but that doesnt mean hes not implementing at least on the issue of security cooperation. It goes on now. From israeli stand point, as far as i know, they transferring revenues they have collected and still have the designated areas of a, b and c. The structure still exists. You dont have an active Peace Process right now. What you have instead is something of a wave of terror violence. It isnt organized, its being carried by 15 and 25yearolds. They portray and dont show stabbing but only the result. False narrative out there that israel is trying to do what exist in hebron, completely untree. You untrue. You have an agreement that we contributed to between the Prime Minister, the king of jordan which is going to put cameras that it is not being changed and i would
Five minutes. Ms. Richards, this is my 27th year in congress. Im sure i have seen many male witnesses treated much tougher than you have today. And surely you dont expect us to be easier on you because youre a woman . Absolutely not. Thats not how my mama raised me. Right. All right, let me ask you this. You say in your testimony a lot of women wouldnt have access to certain types of health care were it not for planned parenthood. Do you know that the department of health and Human Services say there are 9,727 Health Care Service delivery sites, 4,082 rural health clinics, 1,200 federally funded qualified Health Centers that also operate 9,000 other sites, over 9,000. Do you know about that . And you also know that there are over 2,000 pregnancy Health Centers over 80 which receive no federal funds at all. And that doesnt even count many hundreds of thousands of private doctors and nurses and Health Care Delivery services, walkin clinics and so forth. Have you taken all of that into co
