Problem with multiemployer pensions, which needs to be addressed. However, this bill, i believe, will actually set us back. It does nothing to address the underlying structural issues of these plans. It actually does nothing to protect younger workers who will be asked to keep paying into a system which remains troubled. And it saddles taxpayers with liabilities which are unlikely to be paid back at a massive cost to taxpayers. Let me provide just one alarming example of how flawed this proposal is, which i also highlighted in our committee markup. Under this legislation, if a pension plan applies for a loan and the newly administration cannot make a determination on that plans ability to repay in order to approve or deny the loan within 90 days, the loan would be automatically deemed approved. Taxpayers deserve timely responses from treasury, but no Reputable Institution would rubber stamp loans like this. Pensioners and taxpayers both deserve better. Lets Work Together to deliver a r
Hello, im lewis vaughanjones. Welcome to The Programme. We start in the middle east, where the palestinian president says only the us can prevent an Israeli Attack on rafah, where more than a million have fled. Mahmoud abbas is at the World Economic forum summit in riyadh. He will be joined there on monday by the us Secretary Of State, Antony Blinken. Other Key International figures are expected in the saudi city and Sideline Meetings are expected to discuss the war in gaza and the way forward.

By the outcome here a lot of folks that we had talked to and sort of polled unofficially had really thought that zarate would be found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter and the two lesser charges but he was found not guilty on all of those murder charges, only guilty on the firearms possession which of course carries a very light sentence and he will only have to serve half of that time after credit for time served. He is going to be out in no time. I do want to mention that there is a warrant out for his arrest by the u. S. Marshals office. So he will be going again to that facility, going to jail where most likely he will be deported. Again, to recap this case, 45 yearold Jose Inez Garcia Zarate a homeless illegal immigrant found not guilty of shooting and killing 32year old kate steinle on a San Francisco pier july 1st, 2015. It has really been an an emotional case here. Testimony from steinles father who described on the stand how his daughter fell to the ground after being shot i
Now a look at ways men can play a role in the me too canment and how they prevent behavior that could lead to Sexual Assaults. This is an hour and 20 minutes. Ms. Nelson good morning, everyone. Im elise nelson. Im president and ceo here. If i can just say here on behalf of everyone at vital voices, how absolutely proud we are to join with pro mundo and new America Foundation to host this discussion, men in the me too movement, moving from silence to solidarity and how do we do that . I think all of us in this room would agree that we are in the middle of something pretty darn historic. But just how historic i think remains to be seen. This could be the beginning of the end of a culture of silence, of fear, of complacency. This could be the beginning of the end of violence against women, one of the most destructive and universal challenges we face. I think its too early to see where this momentum right now with the me too movement is going to lead, but the one thing we do know is that w
