Good morning. The committee has come to order. One thing, i want to thank the witnesses for your testimony. Those appearing in person, traveling to d. C. To give it orally, and, also, answer our questions. The title of this hearing now is, i guess, examining the u. S. Approach to early covid19 treatments. I thought it was i originally set out a title of early treatments for covid, a essential component of a covid solution. It was inevitable that the coronavirus pandemic to be politicized into the tragedy it was. From the start, i knew it was impossible to have a perfect response. We were facing a new virus. No one wanted to underreact, and as a result i feared the tendency would be overreact. The challenges facing us were daunting. Our National Strategic stockpile had been reduced during the h1n 1 pandemic. It took time to develop a test. The fact that a large percentage of people that become infected exhibit no symptoms made the coronavirus even more difficult to detect and contain. I
Acknowledges like robinhood yesterday restricted trading in gamestop and other volatile stocks. Robinhood eased up on those restrictions today but the backlash has been fierce. Here is reaction from conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and bar stool sports Founder David portnoy. Its not just political now. The elites are Bent Out Of Shape that a bunch of average, ordinary users have figured out how to make themselves billionaires. Everything is rigged in favor of the elites. This has upset the rigging. I think its criminal. There has to be an investigation and people have to go to jail. Whether that actually happens i dont know. But ive never been more convinced about Market Manipulation and the people, the hedge funds controlling the game. Harris robinhood ceo is defending the decision. Watch. We had to make a very difficult decision to protect our customers and our firm. This decision was not made on the direction of any market maker. We are in a historic situation there is a lot of
And a grudge. I felt that when this shooter crossed steve off, he was moving down a list. A long list. She came running towards my vehicle. There was Blood Dripping from her face. Six murders. My gut just dropped. In four days. This was a Homicide Investigation in overdrive. It was. A city under siege. There was a lot of fear, there was a lot of unrest in the community. People were desperate for a suspect. Who else could have been on that list . I had my own personal terrorist. And why. People dont get gunned down their offices. There had to be a link. The most haunting question of all could those six lives have been saved . Steve always said these things never happened in a vacuum. There are always Warning Signs. So, losing him the way that we did was stunning to me. Hello, and welcome to dateline. Forensics psychiatrist steve pitt was well known for his work on high profile criminal cases. When he was shot outside his phoenix office, it was a big story. Nobody knew it yet, but his de
Vaping and smoking, but the Office For Budget Responsibility warns the government could find it hard to balance the books. Heres our business correspondent, emma simpson. Did you catch any ofjeremy s budget . It was a chance to turn around the fortunes of the Conservative Party. But was it enough . I think its good that the workers are going to get money back in their pockets. But then if you think about the Cost Of Living and how everything is going up, then maybe they could have given a little bit more back. Anything that cuts taxes, i wish he would have done something a bit more for savers, were in a position where were living off savings. I think theyre trying to do it in light of a General Election and probably not really thinking about what the benefit to the country is. The centrepiece of this budget was a £2 billion cut was a 2p in the pound cut to National Insurance, a tax paid by workers. So who are the winners and losers if you include all the changes to tax and thresholds
