Of parliament in westminster. Plans to make britain an independent, sovereign nation will be published this morning just one day after theresa may started the process of brexit. The great repeal bill will outline how the government plans to repatriate more than a0 years worth of powers from the European Union and convert thousands of eu rules into british law. Yesterday, theresa may described britains departure from the eu as an historic moment from which there can be no turning back. Eleanor garnier reports. Cometh the hour, cometh the moment, in westminster, belfast, edinburgh and cardiff the exact moment the uk took a new and different course. This is an historic moment from which there is no turning back. The letter, hand delivered by our man in brussels, telling the eu we are on our way out. Written in a deliberately conciliatory tone.

And the department have embraced and agreed to embrace all 29 of the administrative review board s recommendations, and today we ll hear more about the progress the department has already made towards implementation of many of the recommendations. but i would add that congress is not without responsibility here. we also have an obligation to do our part to comply with the administrative review board s recommendations. it is my intention to work with the members of the committee and the department in the coming months on legislation that will improve security and better protect our employees. one of the first and easiest things that we can do is to ensure that the department s contracting rules allow for sufficient flexibility, to allow them to quickly make decisions where security is at risk, and to hire local guards, not only on the basis of the lowest price technically acceptable, but on a best value basis, to ensure that we are not just checking the box when it comes to securing our ....
Statement, but what actions were you and your staff taking the night of september 11th and into september the 12th? well, first, you re right, mr. chairman, that there was an ongoing discussion. when chris first landed in benghazi, he stayed in a hotel lang with other representatives of different nations. there were attacks in the vicinity, including in the parking lot of the hotel. the decision was made to move. the compound was selected as being a much better location in terms of security than the alternatives, but there was an ongoing discussion between chris and others in the embassy in tripoli, those going in and out of benghazi, about how best to situate our post there. i did see some overnight reporting about a document i m not sure what it is, but i would observe that there were a lot of ....
Confirmation, i don t think anybody thought that mubarak would be gone, gadhafi would be gone, ben ali would be gone, that we would have such revolutionary change in this region. there were hints of it. several of us, you know, said the institutions were sinking in the sand, as i said in doha shortly before tahrir square. so there was some feeling out there, but i don t think any of us predicted this. least of all, the people in these country, who then were given a chance to chart their own futures. this is a great opportunity, as well as a serious threat to our country. i hope we seize the opportunity. it s not going to be easy, because these new countries have no experience with democracy. they don t have any real experience among the leaders in running countries, in doing security so, yes, we now face a ....
