the district of columbia is unique. there is a clause for the express purpose of the seat of the new government. it's been that way for 50 years. it is a strong presumption by now against this bill's radical change, the framers certainly didn't intend anything like this. second, maryland conceded the land for the express purpose of its becoming the seat of the federal government. it didn't do so for the purpose of creating a new state on its border nor is it likely that it would have done so for that purpose contrary to the bill's proponents article 4 alone requires maryland's consent. third, as a practical matter, this bill strips congress of its authority over the present district. congress will then have authority over this tiny enclave around the national mall and that raises numerous practical problems as james madison explained, the federal government must not be dependent on any one of the states nor should any state be either dependent or excessively influential on the federal government. this bill fails on each

they had no right to vote in the district of columbia. then the voting rights act came along and people in alabama, georgia, south carolina, north carolina, virginia, louisiana gained the right to vote for members of the senate. the members of the district of columbia, black and beyond black residents were left out and left behind. mayor bowser identified the structural impact of this is that d.c. for many federal programs and initiatives is treated like a territory, which denies the residents of the district of columbia, including its black residents, equal treatment and therefore equal representation not only in voting but across the board. and that's a structural inequity that's associated with this fundamental denial of the right to vote. one only believes as i do that the residents of the district of columbia have inpatient since 1965. have been patient as they sought to achieve and accomplish their full rights as american citizens and i doubt if anyone else outside of the district of columbia would stand for being disenfranchised in

i'm a senior analyst for columbia international crisis group. we're a conflict prevention organization and i've spent the last 2 months delinquent this across the country, both in rural and urban areas get to happy and natalie, explain your connection to the current protests in columbia and introduce yourself, try international audience. thank you very much. and now one of the members, she's an independent clinic from waiting on that on the co worry the test we are actually doing different activities around the different floor. and in the teach. so i have an idea of why these protests are ongoing. why people didn't just go home and say, wow, that was amazing. we actually feel we overturned the patch reform proposal. my idea is it's cove it. but if you're watching right now on your youtube, you can jump into a comment section off, i guess your questions. i be part of today's show, elizabeth, i'm thinking that coverage is connected to why people didn't go home. these demands have grown. you'll take absolutely. so i think the way that it was descri

she would like to return to columbia, but says the conditions have not been met. so there are so many people here that have tried to return and have to meet again because the tracts never and never had an option. we are here to tell the state that we want to believe in our country. again, that to that colombia is more than war that we are betting on the columbia state. there's only recently began to acknowledge that on top of the millions of internally displaced people 1000 more have had to leave the country. and while the united nations refugee agency has registered almost 400000 colombian exile the government, the victims agency has so far acknowledged only 30000 plight in the pain of derek style is just beginning to surface. but in a country where social and community leaders keep getting killed at an alarming rate, the question the lingers it, will it ever be safe for them to return? i listen that i'm the, i'll just you gotta paramedics in south korea capital are pioneering specially developed software to reduce the cities large number of suicides, south korea

the clerk: to allow the district of columbia to establish the rate of pay of the district of columbia. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from district of columbia, ms. norton, and the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr0 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from district of columbia. ms. norton: i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous material on the measure before us. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. norton: i yield myself such time as i may consume. this bill would give the district of columbia the authority to increase the pay of the d.c. financial officer. d.c. requested that i introduce this bill so that it can retain and recruit the best c.f.o.'s. at the outset i want to emphasize that the c.f.o. is paid excuse exclusively with local funds, not federal funds. under the d.c. congress established a maximum rate of pay for the c.f.o. and the d.c. council has no authority to increase that rate. congress does not cap or otherwise establish the pay of any other d.c. employee

no voice by the residents of the district of columbia. this is an injustice, and all of the legalistic arguments do not address the fundamental basic issue, and that is the right to vote. so i think i speak for the broad civil rights community and for the voting rights community in saying that this is a long, long battle whose time has come. it's time to enact this bill. >> thank you. our country was founded on the principle of no taxation without representation. a key part of the ref -- that inspire the revolutionary war. the reality for d.c. residents unlike any other citizens of this country, they pay federal taxes without having full representation in congress. residents of the district of columbia pay more than $6.9 billion annually in federal income taxes. that is more than residents in over 20 states and it means d.c. residents pay more per return in federal income tax of any other state. mayor bowser, under the status quo, in your mind, is it fair that d.c. residents are paying billions of dollars in taxes every year to the federa

it has been downright terrifying in british columbia. we drove up here to kamloops yesterday for our vacation and saw a plume of smoke, so big coming from linton all that distance from here in kamloops. and my son said to me, is there a volcano erupted over there? it was stunning, shocking, and certainly something we are not accustomed to here and what is largely temporal rain for us in the pacific northwest. the temperatures here in british columbia have been off the chart some 20 degrees warmer than what we're used to. as i said, very unnerving for residents in british columbia and canada, that matter is this ms into albert, our neighboring father watching some really extraordinary pictures of the fire and smoke from listen. what are you now seeing and hearing from authorities? i know there are also a number of other fires burning on the other side also not terribly far away from you. not far at all. there are some 99 fires that started in the last 24 hours alone in british columbia, our premier here john horgan address immediate day t

carla says next year, columbia will have president on congress elections. that will be a change for the people. how will it natalie elections next year? change not change. instant offset, very quick. go ahead. i hope so. i think other people are paying for the people, there are locals in the organization. each other to go on boarding pools and also to do to be in the and the boarding pool to see what is happening there. okay, how know natalie? ms. rainey is also watching these rainy se, kudos to you, elizabeth, you make a great point. if the police are formed during a war time, they will take that mentality to the citizens. could that be changed? elizabeth? very quick response, please. i think it has to be changed for the effectiveness of the institution with every day. they're losing credibility because of the way that the police are behaving in response to the very communities that they're meant to protect. and one more this is from chavez. chavez is on youtube. thank you for watching. thank you for being part of the show. what role with an activities are

there's also another interesting development here out of columbia, which is the a, these 4 companies for private corporations that have been identified as potentially being responsible for the hiring and or recruiting of former mexico. former colombian military members, that would then be hired as mercenaries, mercenary, specifically that are believed to have been part of this alleged assassination plot against the haitian president. and lastly, we also heard from members of the military saying that none of these individuals that have been identified these colombian citizens or active duty in columbia. now we've been speaking to people on the ground in haiti. we've been speaking to political analysts. we spoke to the previous, the former prime minister of haiti earlier today, and they're talking about how vital it is that this remain in international effort and international investigation that haiti really does lack the resources, the forensic resources. so it is important that we're hearing this commitment from the united states and from columbia to aid haiti in this investigation.

the district of columbia has military police. they have marked police vehicles with emergency equipment like sirens. senator lankford: to clarify, 40 individuals make up? ? a quick reaction force maj. gen. walker: yes. senator lankford: thank you. senator king: thank you. mr. salesses, i know the defense department has its own intelligence service, dia. i would appreciate it if you could provide to the committee intelligence products that were available to the department of defense and the week prior to and the day prior to january 6. and they can be submitted in a classified setting if there are issues. i don't know if there is such material, but if it is -- but if there is, i hope you make it available to the committee. general walker, you are a very important witness because you were in the midst of all this. we are struggling with that long delay. you testified that in the summer, the delay was a matter of minutes. this time, it was three hours and 19 minutes. was the delay caused, and you judgment from being on these phone c

people living and listen in british columbia had to abandon their homes. the men says 90 percent of the video just destroyed. he also says it took 15 minutes just 15 minutes for the flame to overwhelm what time to about 250 people. listen is at the center of a heat wave reaching a temperature of 49.6 degrees celsius this week. well, i'm now joined by nicole craig. she is a resident of victoria and british columbia. nicole, how are you doing over that? well, things are cooling down here, so we are happy about that. that's for sure. i that what's it been like over the last week? how have you and your family been getting through it? all? lots of water, lots of standing in front of our fans because the majority of homes here don't have air conditioning. and if you were able to get a portable one, you are very lucky. but most people just out with fans and cold towels around their neck and lots of cool drinks. i understanding they're not something that we could do stories. very tough. i bet i understand that you've also been speaking to some of your neighbors an

what does this now mean for columbia as all me and how they're regarded? i know there are some very high profile heroes you've been involved implicated here . i think it's quite mixed. so of course, the conflict to columbia as it was decades in the making from the 1915, but to far cuz at least 20 years old and the land in terms of the, the colombian army and, and it's, it's role in the government. i think it's quite mixed. a lot of people do believe in columbia that there had to be a very strong government response, particularly in 2002 when really took over to stem the tide at one point in the park with when large parts of the country, it's in the south much its own state. so there are still ways we're respect with the military's role in columbia by the vast majority. but this will questionably a road that confidence. there is no question about it, especially when you're talking about high ranking military officers and others that might be implicated including members of the government that was empower at the time. then i think it would be a very devastat

a small town in central british columbia. this week little broke canada's all time hottest temperature record 3 times. hitting nearly 50 degrees celsius on tuesday. local media are reporting that a couple in the 60s have died due to the fire. many others are missing a more than a 1000 people have evacuated their homes. the world heard about british columbia, which birds almost essentially to the ground. and there's been multiple fatality reported there and other people not accounted for. some people are happy to go 2 to 3 hours wages to get check in with emergency social services. so this is something that we've never seen before in this province or really in this country anywhere. more than 170 wildfires burning across british columbia and western all berta. that fuels by record breaking heat wave that in turn led to more than 700000 lightning strikes on wednesday and thursday, up tenfold from a year ago. health officials in british columbia say more than 700 deaths have been reported in the past week. nearly 3 times the usu

more than 170 wildfires burning across british columbia and west and all berta. that fueled by record breaking heat wave, that in turn led to more than 700000 lightning strikes on wednesday and thursday, up tenfold from a year ago. health officials in british columbia say more than 700 deaths have been reported in the past week. nearly 3 times the usual number. the heat wave is also resulted in a rising death toll in the northwest and united states. most people don't think about heat as a killer, and it is, and we know that the numbers are fairly high. certainly the event we've seen, we're going to see excess deaths a lot more than we should have, because all of those deaths could have been prevented. so we have to raise awareness in oregon, governor kate brown has declared a state of emergency and in the city of portland, the fire department has banned the use of fireworks for the 4th of july weekend. canada's forest by season usually starts in late july, but with more warm weather forecast over the next few days. the military's on stand by to help evacuate more

isn't inequalities, but really characterized columbia? this is a country with very limited social mobility, access to education, to the job market, extremely limited. on top of that, as you mentioned, a year of worsening pandemic. so the pandemic has hit columbia so hard, and we've had on and off last sounds that affected the most vulnerable the most of all. why? because informal job, those people cannot afford to stay home. they can't work virtually income groups that in the lowest income to columbia were far more likely to become you to not have access to medical care and to lose their job during the pandemic. so all the inequalities that exist already in society, they were exposed by the pandemic and worse. and so that is why i think the crisis today has really riven just such an extent that it requires a response in order to, to move forward. christina, as you're doing your reporting, how are you making it makes sense for the people who are following your reporting. what are you saying is the reason why more than 2 months later, there

my thought in columbia focus on fighting. good for me. i don't, i mean me and my tommy's amigos joy, my thought was, i'm ego than we specialize in my time, which on us, in our model with me, but i forgot where they are fully. nobody. i don't process up our meters, go go. well, no, somebody for the political get. maria started casually. gustavo laga me for a little bit. throw me back. you can, i will be here tomorrow during may. if i mean this will be a gallery of a number that you sent me today, but i see i see my got you are but i'm not that bad with it. i'm. we will not. yeah, it just more. yes. you just called us, but i'm, i thought i thought it was, but in a 1000, but i got nearly got that on, you know, when i got it up, but i meant that will, it will be fun, fun fun in because i you gotta know where the car yeah. okay larry and how will have a window and what will know gemma john pretty good you know get the middle she made for renewal very jelly case. ah, when general. 9 report talked, i mean none the less or if you not are now you

british columbia is badly hit with many fires caused by intense lightning storms. earlier, i spoke to elizabeth wolkovich, a climate change scientist from the university of british columbia. i asked whether she was surprised by the extreme wildfires affecting british columbia this year. it is certainly a surprise for anyone living through it but british columbia is like california, a system that is used to wildfires — they are natural here, however, with climate change we have made them much worse. they cover enormous areas now and the fire season certainly feels like it is starting earlier and earlier. it feels like it is starting earlier and earlier, what can be done? we will get into the wider issues in a little bit, but locally, more locally, what can be done to try and mitigate this? certainly, the services in british columbia are out — the military, the firefighters — doing what they can to put in fire breaks to stop fires. but most of the ignition sources in british columbia are natural, so there is no real way to reduce the number of fires we have in

this time, 182 unmarked graves near the city of cranbrook, in british columbia. not only from today, the new fine, there's 250 cam loops, the 750 on mark graves that causes you know, 180 plus. cranbrook and again, we have $139.00 sites across canada, where the residential schools were in each and every one of those sites needs to be investigated properly. the discoveries have led to growing anger about what's being called the mass murder of indigenous people from the 19th century until the 19 ninety's. more than 150000 indigenous children, attended. state funded christian boarding schools and an effort to assimilate them into mainstream canadian society. they were separated from their families, languages and traditions. thousands of them were physically and sexually abused or died of disease. many never returned home. and 2008, the canadian government officially apologized for its part and launched an inquiry to investigate. most of the schools were run by the catholic church. the indigenous leaders are planning to travel to the basic and in december they want th

so the idea of columbia gets all wound up all of us yet. it separately, she's going to go, we're not going to be under a column she owns in columbia, and of course have the locals no course where there's already how do i get a basketball budget that you may do that? i'm out here me after uploading it to another political manifesto. popeye takes us into the mountain to see an unusual prison. he spent about 2 years with pablo escobar in the early nineties. the most was just wanting to visit with our thing going on when not visiting the prison alone to live because are going with us at the last minute pop. i decided we needed bodyguards and i can send you the check was for okay. i can get it done that they can find out so i'm going meals that you can find on get ok so marcy and another song there's one in there's portfolio stairs. dodie. do it on financial care. show me me nice. but you know sanker session versus because one document the list of this, but on a job for them with the moon to 91. pablo escobar made a deal with the colombian gover

it has been downright terrifying in british columbia. we drove up here to cam loop yesterday for our vacation and saw a plume of smoke, so big coming from linton all that distance from here in kamloops. and my son said to me, is there a volcano erupted over there? this map from now so shows the area where the days of reco, temperatures have hit the entire northwest of the united states and canada. the unusual weather is being linked to the so called heat don't wear high pressure zones trap hot air. the emergency cruise has been taking to the sky as well as the ground to battle fall spreading fires across northern california. the flames . once again forcing residents from their hood. this man in lake had expressed hope that he wouldn't have to leave real concerned. the winds coming up in their flames aren't too far away, so we gotta pay attention. others way to help us fire to high school, the serving as a red cross shelter. it was cool and off and just getting sleep really good. when the sheriff came through right before the 1st light an

columbia is like california, that is used to wildfires, they are natural here, however, with climate change we have made them much worse. they cover enormous areas now and the fire season certainly feels like it is starting earlier starting earlier and earlier. it is starting earlier starting earlier and earlier. it feels like it is — earlier and earlier. it feels like it is starting _ earlier and earlier. it feels like it is starting earlier i earlier and earlier. it feels. like it is starting earlier and earlier, what can be done? we will aet earlier, what can be done? we will get into — earlier, what can be done? - will get into the wider issues in a little bit, but locally, more locally, what can be done to try and mitigate this? certainly the services in british columbia, the military are doing what they can to put in fire breaks to start fires but most of the addiction to make ignition sources in british columbia are natural, so there is no real way to reduce the number of fires we have in the materials to bone, given the heat wave in the droughts, the ground is hard, the v

in his fight for justice, for innocent palestinians, and their families made in france on all just a columbia joins investigations into the killing of joan ways, as police say, one of the haitian president, the talk is what columbia nationals ah, i remember i'm calling this out, is there a life from dough? so coming up egypt, a nation of over 100000000 souls is facing an existing show threat. the security council meets the regional concerns over his grand renee some. i made a dispute over at syntax just one more year. funding that can stand is not a solution. and a recipe for being there indefinitely. us present, joe biden defend his decision to withdraw troops on his son, even as taliban fighters capture more territory. and continued certain armed groups and northern nigeria, a pudding millions at risk of starvation ah columbia. as government says, initial investigations indicate retired members of its military were involved. busy in the assassination of haiti's president jovan, if he was shot dead during a raid at his home on wednesday. now some of the attackers have been identified, but of

i was wondering if somebody can actually have it or political, columbia, or marker. i kind of stuck my most out of the social problem. me just go out and you know start to get some eagles up when there's. busy when i'm going to set you up, but we got the letters are coming from us, you know, but i was wondering whether or not you know me. yes. but then yeah, more footage of hillary smith. i'm one of the, what i'm with though best like obviously this whether this is what it is. i'm look at my mom's work. i just come if you're not that are in a mafia that i see on yes. are those i see not the deal, but i can go yeah. drink that have been you know, like i just, you know, if i don't know if that is how i don't a passion to go. you have any of the limited by the but i me the most he'll. busy make the money kind of limiting as you know. and because in view how, when you're trying you, there's a lesson. so there isn't, don't say dollar kind of send him was period in the cindy. i'm also looking for a part of the school out. they will pay did most thing you said i know that i

and columbia start to emerge. and drug company 5, it will speak approval for a booster for its corona, vars. vaccine. as research shows, the job loses its effectiveness over time. ah, now is the us and its allies withdrawal from afghanistan. it's not just the facts of those countries that have being lowered. taliban fighters have been removing the afghan national flag and assign the groups. influence and control is rapidly spreading. this image is one widely shed by iranian media from the islam. carla border crossing between afghanistan and iran, which was taken by the taliban on thursday. iran customs administration says trade has been suspended with afghanistan because the taliban is now seize 2 of the 3 crossings. they've also captured a town bordering turkmenistan. but the afghan government is rejecting a claim by the tyler bond that it now controls some 85 percent of the country, including about 2 thirds of the border with to g kissed on. meanwhile, the world health organization is wanting that at least 18400

so the idea, columbia gets all wonderful originals yet. it separate region count, i'll go, we're not going to be here and in columbia and of course have the locals. and of course, i will work out there's already a basketball budget that you may do that i'm out here me after uploading it to another political manifesto. popeye takes us into the mountain to see an unusual prison. he spends about a year with pablo escobar in the early nineties. the most let me finish this. that's what i didn't. i mean, i don't know what's going on. we're not visiting the prison alone to live because going with us at the last minute pop. i decided we needed body guards again us and i can find, you know, check was for look for i can look at it on that then i can find out. so i'm going meals that i have a companion get ok. so marcy and another song, there's one in response only i thought the stairs dody. it do it financial nice. but, you know, thank especially because one document the list us the spot on it for the millionaires with the moon to 91. pablo escobar

people living and listen in british columbia have had abandoned their homes. it's not the center of a heat wave. after reaching $49.00 degrees celsius, the mass evacuation is also underway, and vintage is close to the philippine capital manila. after a volcano. this feud steam and gas, nearly $15000.00 people having moved to safe areas and small has also planned because as manila now unemployment in brazil, latin america's largest economy has been at record levels in the 3 months from february 14 point 8000000 of its $212000000.00 people were looking for what many in the country can't afford to pay rent anymore. teresa po reports, we want to please to live chant these people in religion ego. they were recently evicted from a 10 city india. we'll be tagging. hundreds of families had moved their last may, as they couldn't afford a place to live. but their stay didn't last long. police were sent in to enforce an eviction order of howards. nobody injured them. there are no armed people here. there are no drug addicts here. there are no traffickers were just homele

you're saying the columbia is a good place if you need to, most in areas, go to columbia, pick him up and they can go and do a job for you. oh no, i think the links definitely and i'm not speaking from any point of paranoia, but from recent history. the links between the drug enforcement agency, the different intelligence services in columbia, in the us, in haiti, definitely coordination. nothing happens in haiti economically, politically diplomatically, militarily paramilitary param militarily without the u. s. is being involved. and everyone understands that in haiti, and it was very telling that job, and i'm always the former, i'm not going to give him the credit of calling him the president because he didn't have a constitutional mandate. but the former dictator on neo colonial puppet, before he was executed, his security forces completely stood down because they saw some light skin people in haiti, what they called blur. they saw some white people or americans who they perceived as americans. and they immediately stood down because they understand who really calls the shots and h

so the idea, columbia gets all wonderful originals yet. it supervision count. i'll go, we're not going to be shown in columbia, and of course have the locals, no corporate, where there's already a basketball budget that you may do that i'm up here. me after uploading it to another political manifesto. popeye takes us into the mountain to see an unusual prison. he spent about 2 years with pablo escobar in the early nineties. the most was just wanting to throw in some, you know, those are going on were not visiting the prison alone to live because are going with us at the last minute pop. i decided we needed body guards again. i said i can send you the check was for look for somebody i can look at it on that then i can find out. so i'm going meals that i have until you get ok. so marcy and another song, there's one in response only i thought the stairs do it, do it by no means nice. but, you know, thank especially because one document us this button for the millionaire with the moon to 91. pablo escobar made a deal with the colombian government. his expedition to

how long do people have to be worried for in british columbia? behind me we, we live amongst the for a lot of community are built very close to heavy for a station. and unfortunately this is just the beginning of our traditional wild fire season. and usually the season severity depends on the weather, leading out to it in the month of june. and in the month of june, the entire south coast, the british columbia and the interior had little rain and record high temperatures . that give me an idea. the village of lit, which had been in the headlines because of the tragedy and the fire a week before the fire, only days before the fire really was making national headlines for breaking temperature records all time. canadian temperature records the day before the fire linton be registered a temperature of 49.6 degrees celsius, which is the hottest canada has ever been. we've seen that and incredible incredible temperatures and devastating pictures we're looking at. thank you so much for your reporting from the ground. he met a guy he, thanks so much. in

is this our columbia? as government says, initial investigations indicate retired members of its military were involved in the assassination of president juvenile minus. some of the attackers have been identified, but officials are still looking for the state. the security council is discuss the controversial mega down the yoke is building on the nile, egypt. since you don't. busy have raised economic and security concerns about the project. if your p s s, the matter should be discuss of the african present. joe biden says american troops will leave afghanistan by august 31st. says the u. s. is achieved as objectives. after nearly 20 years of war, but the withdrawal comes, as it's all the bond continues to thieves, more territory. the continuing tension between iran and the u. s. is being felt in iraq with attacks and counter attacks iranian back to home groups of intensified operations against u. s. military and diplomatic facilities are very gained access to one such military base in ambo province, weste

this was the scene in british columbia. those sparked by lightning strikes thanks to the record heat wave we've seen there recently. and those hot dry conditions are expected to fuel the frames, but temperatures have come down slightly. that heat has pushed into more central areas. the canadian plain seeing temperatures continuing to climb, as well as the northern plains of the u. s. and the midwest states. we've seen records broken across north dakota and montana, and those temperatures are expected to continue to climb. the heat is going to build now across the north east coast. things have cooled slightly with the arrival of storms and those showers. those are expected to continue through sunday, but come monday those temperatures will climb again. new york edging opt me a 30 degrees celsius. 33 degrees in washington for the wet weather, we have to go to the deep south severe storms expected in texas, and those states around the gulf of mexico and florida could see some very wet and windy weather with the arrival of hurr

the temperature is here in british columbia. have been off the chart some 20 degrees warmer than what we're used to, as i said, very unnerving for resident across british columbia and canada, that matter is this move into albert, our neighboring product. not far at all. there are some 99 fires. started in the last 24 hours alone in british columbia, our premier here, john horgan address the media today to try and calm nerves. it was just the 2 days ago about the state of emergency that had perpetually been react over the course of the coven. 1900 pandemic that came to an end and now were facing perhaps another state of emergency. this time one associated with wildfire. there is another fire. i just, north west of kamloops and the lake behind me. this is the clearest, has been all day. it has been almost a wall of smoke. it is affecting the weather. we're watching the sunset here and it is a very red sky. california is also being effected by the heat wave crews and the northern parts of the state are battling to wildfires, air an
