Half. Good morning thank you everyone for joining us today. Im glad to be here. I vested gentle lady from florida to lead us in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of america. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you representative lee. We are here today to discuss an important, a very important vulnerable part of our population. The exploitation of children through child sexual abuse material. That is what has come to be known as csam will refer to it today as csam . Defined as pictures and videos that capture the sexual abuse of children below the age of 18. The term child pornography mysteries by the public is more accurate to call it what it is, evidence of child sexual abuse. The exploitation of children through kamala materials is a serious issue United States and abroad. Reports of csam continue to grow with 3000 reports in 1998 growing to more than 1 mill
We go through this investigative process and we must insist on the access to do so. We must demand full, immediate, unhindered access to the site of the tragedy, including all parts of the aircraft, missile battery and site evidence and, most of all, proper treatment of the remains of the many victims. President putin by himself can ensure that success and that access and he absolutely must be required to do so. Third, we need to demand an immediate russian standdown in the ukraine. Crimes like malaysia air flight 17 can only happen in such a lawless wasteland of renegades and desperado with their fingers on the triggers of the most advanced weapons. Lawless reigns in ukraine because the government of that nation does not yet have control over its sovereign territory. The situation is greatly exacerbated as a result of president putins outrageous territorial aggression that has already severed an arm of ukraine and threatens the entire countrys disintegration. Make no mistake, the russ

Before i do, i want to know that secretary has departed for the middle east. As i said many times, israel has the right to defend itself against attacks from olmos and as a result, israel has already done significant damage to the terrorist infrastructure.

And that is why it now has to be our focus and the focus of the International Communit
Surfacetoair complex in russian territory, but which was filmed in ukrainian territory. That could not have been controlled by rebels. Let us not forget that the reason for 17 july incident was an armed clash in ukraine in the area of the crash site. The priorities today are swift halting of classes and violence, establishing peaceful halting of clashes and violence, and establishing peace. Sir, i was going to conclude here, but i just have a comment to make. It seems to me that todays meeting was not going to be controversial. However, the u. S. Representative chose a literary track. Perhaps washington does not know about those efforts which russia has undertaken in the frame of the context group, among other things, to ensure that International Experts can come to the area of the crash site as swiftly as possible. If that is the fact, then the American Embassy should be better informed. Indeed, there is no need to turn the discussion of a tragedy into a farce. Thank you. Thank you ve
After the downing of the flight, was the battery hastily removed from that area, why, on 17 june, were ukrainian antiaircraft radars working at an alltime high .

That could not have been controlled by rebels. Let us not forget that the reason for 17 july incident was an armed clash in ukraine in the area of the crash site.
