might say is significantly underperforming. we have not faced the prospect of armageddon since kennedy and the cuban missile crisis. okay. so was this a planned remark or something off the curve? were we supposed hear it? was vladimir putin? there is news from russia that even those within his inner circle are starting to get upset about how the war is going. rumblings that are now public. on saturday, a key putin ally, allies planned to top a russian general in a post and another putin loyalist came out in agreement. how much pressure is vladimir putin really under internally? and where might that push him? derrick kimball with back with us, he is the executive director of the arms control association, and we spoke with him back at the beginning of russia s ukraine invasion, he warned of exactly the situation we find ourselves in right now. despite the problems that the russian army is having, they still have the preponderance of forces. russia does not want to get the uni
Susays its it killed more than 100 soldiers in the. Trying to negotiate a peaceful settlement with war rhetoric has continually been trying to derail that peace process. By launching such a largescale offensive, it only creates a more than 10ouos situation with loss of innocent lives and casualties on both sides. The latest news we have is is that they have called for an immediate ceasefire. Efforts with the ocs mens group, i think its time for the world to pay greater attention to the situation here because, as i said, it will have a large influence on the greater region if this issue is not resolved peacefully. United nations has released th thet disturbing figures showing iraqis killed by violence in march. The u. N. Mission to iraq says 1,119 people were killed last moh compared to the 670 killed in february. Thats a spike of a massive 67 . Well, its due in part to a change from tackics. Iraqi forces backed by u. S. Led airstrikes have advanced in recent months. Its responded by ra
In the white house, for as you will hear from jason furman from the council on economic advisers. All of the agencies are focusing on what we could do on this important issue of reentry. Recentry fits into the broader picture of criminal Justice Reform and last summer the president gave a speech where he focused on three buckets. The community, the courthouse and the cell block. So we have a collective responsibility and many of the advocates that are here together together with the private sector have been focusing on improving our communities and everything from Early Childhood education to breaking the school to prison pipeline to breaking the Sexual Assault to prison pipeline to ensuring that every child gets that fair shot. The president s my brothers Keeper Initiative is another way of helping other boys and men of color to get that shot and follow a life free from crime. So we have to improve our community. We also have to improve the courtroom. And you are seeing there is bipar
Find great erin sight into it. No one respected the admiral than i do. He is caught many times between the macinations of congress where we force him to take from Critical Systems to pay for other Critical Systems and i think he would like to avoid that conundrum. But our near peer adversaries are near to tackling our space assets. This is no longer academic and the question before this committee is what shall we do about it. These adversaries have taken note of the u. S. Space dominance provides our military and observed the defenseless nature of our space assets. If we are to abandon the commanding heights of future battlefields without a fight, it will be our military who suffers the consequences as they find themselves cut off and fighting blind in an environment far from home. China has clearly demonstrated antisatellite missile capability and proven it could reach from orbit to low earth orbit.

That is lead to an arrest. Or some other form of resolution. And for Something Like burglaries its more like 15 . It means 85 of burglaries just kind of disappear in terms of some kind of resolution.
