Thank you all for we really appreciate you joining us. Thats better. Thank you all for coming today. Really appreciate you joining us here today. Thanks for coming out this morning. I think weve got a really exciting morning of discussion. First of all, breeief introductions, im Whit Saumweber director of the stephenson ocean security project. And from my point of view, there is no better representation of that nexus than the issue of Climate Change and how its impacting our oceans and what that means for our broader world. A few weeks ago the ipcc released reports taking deeper dives into the effects Climate Change is having on this world. One focused on the impact on lands, and the ocean and the cry owe sphere. That report is fascinating. Its the current state of the science about what we know, what we understand, the impacts of C
More about this incident, it seems clear that every member of this council should reiterate that all states including iran and syria have a responsibility to avoid the path of escalation, to stop arming and advising terrorist groups and to rain in the actions of proxies who threaten Regional Peace and security. Madam president , two final points i want to be clear, we do not yet have confirmation of the status of the building that. Any confirmed attack on property that was in fact a diplomatic facility would be of concern to the United States. Diplomatic missions and their property, as well as official diplomatic residences must be protected, even and especially in times of armed conflict. As i noted earlier, we are also concerned by reports that terrorist leaders and elements were allegedly present at this facility. And condem irans continued. Coordination, training and arming of terrorists and other violent extremists. Colleagues, we are satten and greatly concerned by reports of an
Will be a big player in. A contract with this Company Worth 17 billion, yes, this agreement includes four agreements related to the development of the artava field and investments, investments in the gas industry, and also development. Drilling new wells and generating 1000 megawatts of electricity. How the player maintains the balance between the west and russia in the context of energy relations. As i already said, balance is what we strive for in our interests, in our politics, but the main thing is our National Interests, if National Interests of iraq and in this direction of this project, then of course we will implement it, i would like to return to mr. President putin, last saturday gas supplies began to uzbekistan, this is a very important step, as experts say, and you mentioned this in your speech, the creation of this. By russia and uzbekistan and kazakhstan, can you say that one day things will come to the point that russia will find an alternative, or alternatives to the eu
Memories of Dianne Feinstein. Senator, colleague, and hopefully for both of us, friend. And thats a lovely way to set the tone for political pop for political opposites going forward. If patience and kindness is what love is, then that is also what senator Dianne Feinstein is. Senator Dianne Feinstein is love. I salute her service and i yield the floor mr. Merkley madam president , im standing here at the desk next to the desk of our fallen colleague, senator Dianne Feinstein. It seems enormously strange that instead of being able to sit here and have her next to me, her desk is covered with a black cloth and a bowl, a crystal bowl of white roses. We come from the west coast where our states sit side by side, so perhaps it was fitting that we sat side by side here on the floor of the u. S. Senate. One thing in particular that senator feinstein liked to do was share with me pictures of her dog kirby, who she absolutely loved. And she had a lot of pictures on her phone to show kirby in d
Object. If you hear those words, understand what will have happened. Its the same thing that happened just a couple of days ago, which is democratic leadership said to our active dawty military, we dont duty military, we dont give a damn about you and were going to cut off your paycheck sunday at 12 01 a. M. That doesnt have to ham. By the that donlts have to happen. Not only is it the fault of every democrat, im sorry, mr. President , but there are no democrats here supporting us. You in your heart know were right. So im going to invite you when we do it again, well do it and do it, to join us, because you know this is the right thing to do. There are more of your colleagues on the democrat side that know this is the right thing to do. Some 19yearold marine right now in the dmz facing north korean machine guns is being told that the United States senate doesnt care enough about his or her service to pay them. Thats just wrong. Its stupid. And this body used to know enough to say, hey,
