Cutaway of Director, Stephen Daldry 21. SOUNDBITE Stephen Daldry, director: "And I think cinema audiences are so sophisticated now, they know that they are going to link up in some way, it's not just going to be three parallel stories they are going to collide and engage, they're to implode and explode on each other and so that felt like a thriller." 22. Film clip - 'The Hours' KIDMAN SET TO WIN AN OSCAR BY A NOSE? A troika of Hollywood's leading ladies have combined their considerable acting talent into one movie, 'The Hours,' which is set to come a main contender in the forthcoming awards season. 'The Hours,' which premiered in Los Angeles on December 18, stars Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore all in the drama about three generations of woman searching for more meaningful lives. The film is based on the Pulizter Prize winning book of the same name by Michael Cunningham. Nicole Kidman ('Moulin Rouge,' 'The Others') is Virginia Woof who is writing her novel, 'Mrs Dalloway,' in 1920's England. Kidman underwent incredible physical changes to look like the late writer including a striking new prosthetic nose. Living in another generation, Laura Brown is suffocated by her marriage and the social constraints of 1950's America. Played by Julianne Moore ('Boogie Nights,' 'Hannibal') she reads the novel Mrs Dalloway and is inspired to make dramatic changes in her own life. Legendary actress, Meryl Streep ('Sophie's Choice,' 'The Bridges Of Madison County') is the modern day 'Mrs Dalloway.' Her character, Clarissa Vaughan is a liberated modern woman yet on an emotional roller coaster as she cares for her best friend Richard (Ed Harris) who is dying from AIDS while in a relationship with another woman. All three actresses are being tipped for a hat-full of awards including the Golden Globes and Oscars. Director, Stephen Daldry of Billy Elliot fame ensures all three stories are seamlessly interwoven. As the film unfolds the literary and emotional link between the women becomes clearer. Other performances include Meryl Streep's on screen daughter played by Claire Danes, and Alison Janney from the West Wing. Stephen Dillane plays Virginia Woolf's husband. A Virginia Woolf revival is now certainly on the cards for 2003 thanks to this high profile Hollywood treatment and the film's stunning leading ladies.

We don't want to add to the speculation by naming anyone or groups in particular. Suffice it to say that we are looking at every angle here." 12. Wide shot meeting STORYLINE: The death toll from a bomb that ripped through an airport terminal in Davao city in the southern Philippines climbed to 21 on Tuesday after two of the 147 seriously injured, died in hospital overnight. There were no details on the most recent deaths but the earlier fatalities included a boy, a girl, 10 men and seven women. An American missionary was also among those killed. William P. Hyde, 59, of Iowa, died in surgery from head and leg injuries, the Virginia-based Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board confirmed. He had gone to the airport to meet other American missionaries who had just arrived when the bomb went off. Hyde, a former music teacher, had been a missionary since 1978. David Miller, a Baptist pastor in Iowa, said Hyde had been a close friend of Martin and Gracia Burnham, American missionaries who were kidnapped in 2001 by another Muslim extremist group, the Abu Sayyaf. Martin Burnham was killed during a rescue operation in June 2002, and his wife was wounded. Authorities said they were questioning Muslim rebels in the attack. The blast at Davao airport Tuesday was the nation's worst terrorist strike in three years and came amid debate over the role of U.S. troops in the war on terror in the Philippines, where Muslim insurgents have battled the government for decades with attacks, bombings and kidnappings. Police said the bomb was hidden inside a backpack planted in the middle of the airport's waiting area. The blast was heard three miles (4.8 kilometers) away; some of the debris landed on the tarmac 100 yards (91 meters) away. National Security Adviser Roilo Golez said Wednesday that the government has increased security measures in vital installations all over the country. He added that he would not speculate on the culprits until the facts were clear. The military has blamed Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebels for a string of attacks, including a car bombing at nearby Cotabato airport last month that killed one man. Eid Kabalu, spokesman for the rebel group, which has been fighting for Muslim self-rule in the predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines for more than three decades, denied his group was responsible. He condemned the attack and said the group was ready to cooperate in an investigation. U.S. special forces are training Philippine soldiers in counter-terrorism tactics in the city of Zamboanga, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) west of the scene of Tuesday's attack.

Same man praying STORYLINE An Israeli-born New York couple who recognised the threat of terrorism in India but believed their mission of spreading Jewish pride was greater than the potential danger were slain in a series of attacks across Mumbai that have killed at least five Americans. Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin said in New York that 29-year-old Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his 28-year-old wife, Rivkah, died in the attack on the ultra-Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement's center in Mumbai. The group said three other victims in the building apparently had been visiting there. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the body of a fourth victim, an unidentified woman, was also found inside the five-story building. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the deaths of three victims from New York were "tragic losses" for the city. More than 150 people have been killed since gunmen attacked 10 sites across India's financial capital of Mumbai starting on Wednesday night, officials said. A man and his teenage daughter, both from a Virginia community that promotes a form of meditation, were confirmed dead, a colleague said on Friday. Alan Scherr, 58, and daughter Naomi, 13, died in a cafe Wednesday night, said Bobbie Garvey, a spokeswoman for the Synchronicity Foundation. The US State Department confirmed their deaths. The Scherrs were among 25 foundation participants in a spiritual programme in Mumbai. Four others on the mission were injured in the cafe attack in the luxury Oberoi hotel, Garvey said, including two women from Tennessee. Scherr was a former college professor who lived at the Synchronicity sanctuary. His wife, Kia, and her two sons did not travel with them to India. According to the foundation's Web site, the community is led by Master Charles, a former leading disciple of Swami Paramahansa Muktananda. He is described as "one of the most popular spiritual teachers from India to build a following in the West in the 1970s." He taught a form of yoga. Garvey identified the Synchronicity injured as Helen Connolly of Toronto, who was grazed by a bullet; Rudrani Devi and Linda Ragsdale, both of Nashville, who both underwent surgery for bullet wounds; and Michael Rudder of Montreal, who remains in intensive care after being shot three times. (Devi is also known as Andreina, or Andi, Varagona.) Other members of the mission narrowly escaped the attack. The ultra-Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement confirmed the deaths of Holtzberg and his wife on Friday. They were among the five hostages slain in the attack on a Jewish centre. Holtzberg and his wife died in the attack on the movement's centre in Mumbai, which they ran, Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin said in Brooklyn, where the group has its world headquarters. Shmotkin identified two of the other slain hostages as Bentzion Chroman, an Israeli with dual US citizenship, and Leibish Teitlebaum, an American from Brooklyn. He said the fifth victim was an Israeli woman, but didn't have her name. All three were visiting the centre when the attack occurred. Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, vice chairman of the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch, said Holtzberg's last known phone call was to the Israeli consulate. Gavriel Holtzberg was born in Israel and moved to the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn with his parents when he was nine. Rivkah Holtzberg was a native of Afula, Israel. The couple's toddler son, Moshe, was rescued by an employee and taken to his grandparents. Members of the movement gathered at the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters Friday hours before the start of the Jewish Sabbath to pray for the families of the dead. The Holtzbergs arrived in Mumbai in 2003 to serve the local Jewish community as well as Jewish tourists and business travellers. The two ran a synagogue, offering religious instruction and helping people dealing with drug addiction and poverty, Kotlarsky said. In response to the Mumbai attacks, New York City police beefed up patrols around large hotels and Jewish centres, including the Lubavitcher headquarters, said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. The department already was on alert because of a warning earlier this week of a possible al-Qaida plot to strike the city's subways and rail systems over the holidays. keyword Mumbai attacks

SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Wolfowitz, US Deputy Defence Secretary: "I hope that they will think about how they can contribute to helping the Iraqi people get on their feet and build a better country. And there is a great deal they can do. I hope, for example, they will think about the very large debts that come from money that was leant to the dictator to buy weapons and build palaces and build instruments of repression. I think they ought to consider whether it might not be appropriate to forgive some or all of that debt so the new Iraqi government is not burdened with it. There is a great deal that they can do and I know we would welcome their help and I imagine the Iraqi people would imagine their help. This is a time to think about the future." 3.

It is very dubious behaviour and by calling attention to it we hope that that may be enough to get them to stop." 5. Wide view of Wolfowitz speaking 6.

We don't welcome that, we've stopped it when we have found those people. So, it is a problem, I think it is important that Iraq's neighbours not meddle with Iraq. And we've had clear discussions with Turkey, which has very legitimate concerns about northern Iraq and Turks have behaved themselves very well but we've had ... Secretary Powell was just on the phone this morning with Foreign Minister Gul to assure the foreign minister that there was no need for Turkish intervention." 7. Wide view of hearing 8.

We did not assemble them. It is interesting he can assemble a crowd of ten thousand. It is useful, as reported by our people on the ground, that he had a calming affect on Nasiriyah which is useful. But, we're not singling him out and I'm a little puzzled at press commentary that suggests we are singling him out. He's one of many Iraqis that we hope will debate and discuss and give the Iraqi people, who are increasingly free to voice their voice, a chance to decide who they like and by what process they want to pick their leaders." 9.

Zoom in on entrance to office building with health workers standing by door 31. Health authorities standing outside building STORYLINE Hong Kong on Thursday said it would quarantine for up to 10 days anyone who resides with a confirmed SARS patient, in a measure to halt the spread of a disease that has killed 30 and sickened almost one thousand there. Health Secretary Dr. Yeoh Eng-kiong said Hong Kong was taking "one step further to help contain the spread of the disease". But he said the decision had been difficult because of a divergence of views on restricting people's freedoms. He added those under quarantine would not be allowed to go out except "under exceptional circumstances", saying only those who have had recent contact with patients would be affected. He estimated about 150 people from 70 to 80 households would be quarantined under the new order. Police were to make sure people did not violate the quarantine by making unannounced visits to their homes. Anyone who did not comply with the order would be removed to designated places for isolation and they could be fined or imprisoned. Hours earlier, Hong Kong reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The announcement came not long after residents of the Amoy Garden housing estate began returning from quarantine camps. The estate was thoroughly cleaned by authorities and those allowed to return were being monitored by doctors daily. Also in Hong Kong, residents of Telford housing estate were put on a-l-e-r-t, after an announcement by Hong Kong health officials, to potentially quarantine residents. Meanwhile, a friend of a dead American SARS patient has claimed that Chinese officials moved the man to Hong Kong to avoid the embarrassment of another foreigner's death in the mainland. An official in the border city of Shenzhen denied the allegation. The son of James Salisbury, the 52-year old American who died from SARS, is currently being treated in a Hong Kong hospital. And China on Thursday said its death toll from SARS had risen by two to 55 and said its total number of people sickened stood at one thousand and 290. A brief Health Ministry statement didn't say where or when the newly reported death occurred. But a breakdown of the death toll in the statement indicated that one was in the hard-hit southern province of Guangdong, where experts suspect Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome originated. And in Canada, public health officials on Wednesday ordered the closure of a Toronto-area school. They said that a student who had been exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) - and was now showing symptoms of the disease - went to the school last week with a fever. It was the first time a school was closed in Canada due to the respiratory illness. ***************************************************************** 15:52:49 CONCORDE WRAP 15:52:54 REPLAY OF THE CONCORDE TAKING OFF ***************************************************************** 15:56:48 NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE 15:59:26 PEOPLE START CLAPPING 15:59:44 BELL RINGS 16:00:04 HITS GAVEL ******************************************************************

Zoom in on entrance to office building with health workers standing by door 31. Health authorities standing outside building STORYLINE Hong Kong on Thursday said it would quarantine for up to 10 days anyone who resides with a confirmed SARS patient, in a measure to halt the spread of a disease that has killed 30 and sickened almost one thousand there. Health Secretary Dr. Yeoh Eng-kiong said Hong Kong was taking "one step further to help contain the spread of the disease". But he said the decision had been difficult because of a divergence of views on restricting people's freedoms. He added those under quarantine would not be allowed to go out except "under exceptional circumstances", saying only those who have had recent contact with patients would be affected. He estimated about 150 people from 70 to 80 households would be quarantined under the new order. Police were to make sure people did not violate the quarantine by making unannounced visits to their homes. Anyone who did not comply with the order would be removed to designated places for isolation and they could be fined or imprisoned. Hours earlier, Hong Kong reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The announcement came not long after residents of the Amoy Garden housing estate began returning from quarantine camps. The estate was thoroughly cleaned by authorities and those allowed to return were being monitored by doctors daily. Also in Hong Kong, residents of Telford housing estate were put on a-l-e-r-t, after an announcement by Hong Kong health officials, to potentially quarantine residents. Meanwhile, a friend of a dead American SARS patient has claimed that Chinese officials moved the man to Hong Kong to avoid the embarrassment of another foreigner's death in the mainland. An official in the border city of Shenzhen denied the allegation. The son of James Salisbury, the 52-year old American who died from SARS, is currently being treated in a Hong Kong hospital. And China on Thursday said its death toll from SARS had risen by two to 55 and said its total number of people sickened stood at one thousand and 290. A brief Health Ministry statement didn't say where or when the newly reported death occurred. But a breakdown of the death toll in the statement indicated that one was in the hard-hit southern province of Guangdong, where experts suspect Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome originated. And in Canada, public health officials on Wednesday ordered the closure of a Toronto-area school. They said that a student who had been exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) - and was now showing symptoms of the disease - went to the school last week with a fever. It was the first time a school was closed in Canada due to the respiratory illness. ***************************************************************** 15:52:49 CONCORDE WRAP 15:52:54 REPLAY OF THE CONCORDE TAKING OFF ***************************************************************** 15:56:48 NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE 15:59:26 PEOPLE START CLAPPING 15:59:44 BELL RINGS 16:00:04 HITS GAVEL ******************************************************************

And there is a great deal they can do. I hope, for example, they will think about the very large debts that come from money that was leant to the dictator to buy weapons and build palaces and build instruments of repression. I think they ought to consider whether it might not be appropriate to forgive some or all of that debt so the new Iraqi government is not burdened with it.

Health authorities standing outside building STORYLINE Hong Kong on Thursday said it would quarantine for up to 10 days anyone who resides with a confirmed SARS patient, in a measure to halt the spread of a disease that has killed 30 and sickened almost one thousand there. Health Secretary Dr. Yeoh Eng-kiong said Hong Kong was taking "one step further to help contain the spread of the disease". But he said the decision had been difficult because of a divergence of views on restricting people's freedoms. He added those under quarantine would not be allowed to go out except "under exceptional circumstances", saying only those who have had recent contact with patients would be affected. He estimated about 150 people from 70 to 80 households would be quarantined under the new order. Police were to make sure people did not violate the quarantine by making unannounced visits to their homes. Anyone who did not comply with the order would be removed to designated places for isolation and they could be fined or imprisoned. Hours earlier, Hong Kong reported three more deaths from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The announcement came not long after residents of the Amoy Garden housing estate began returning from quarantine camps. The estate was thoroughly cleaned by authorities and those allowed to return were being monitored by doctors daily. Also in Hong Kong, residents of Telford housing estate were put on a-l-e-r-t, after an announcement by Hong Kong health officials, to potentially quarantine residents. Meanwhile, a friend of a dead American SARS patient has claimed that Chinese officials moved the man to Hong Kong to avoid the embarrassment of another foreigner's death in the mainland. An official in the border city of Shenzhen denied the allegation. The son of James Salisbury, the 52-year old American who died from SARS, is currently being treated in a Hong Kong hospital. And China on Thursday said its death toll from SARS had risen by two to 55 and said its total number of people sickened stood at one thousand and 290. A brief Health Ministry statement didn't say where or when the newly reported death occurred. But a breakdown of the death toll in the statement indicated that one was in the hard-hit southern province of Guangdong, where experts suspect Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome originated. And in Canada, public health officials on Wednesday ordered the closure of a Toronto-area school. They said that a student who had been exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) - and was now showing symptoms of the disease - went to the school last week with a fever. It was the first time a school was closed in Canada due to the respiratory illness. ***************************************************************** 15:52:49 CONCORDE WRAP 15:52:54 REPLAY OF THE CONCORDE TAKING OFF ***************************************************************** 15:56:48 NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE 15:59:26 PEOPLE START CLAPPING 15:59:44 BELL RINGS 16:00:04 HITS GAVEL ******************************************************************

Defense Department Briefing with Colonel Steven Warren Subject: Update on Operations Location: Briefing Room, the Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia Time: 11:00 am EST, Date: Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015 DAVIS: All right, just working out a couple of last minute issues with the video. Steve, good morning. Good morning, everybody. We're pleased to have with us Colonel Steve Warren from Operation Inherent Resolve coming to us live from Baghdad. Steve, without any ado, over to you. WARREN: Good morning, Jeff and everyone. It's good to see you again after Thanksgiving. I'll jump right into some prepared remarks. Yesterday, Secretary Carter outlined a plan to deploy an expeditionary targeting force to assist the Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga to put even more pressure on ISIL. As he said, these special operators will be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence and capture ISIL leaders. We're not going to talk about how or when they'll be deployed, or the means and methods they'll do their work. It simply represents another capability that we bring to this fight, and that we'll be adding to all the other things that we're doing to accelerate our work against ISIL. On Russia, I can confirm Russia's S-400 air defense missiles are in Syria and they are operational. They're in the vicinity of Latakia. We assess no change in Russian intent towards coalition aircraft, and we expect Russia will continue to abide by the memorandum of understanding.WARREN: I want to do a very short operational update today, then I've got a few video clips for you. So, DVIDS or Jeff, please bring the map up. So, I'm assuming the map is up, now. And I'll go through it. In Ramadi, which is star number one on your map, Iraqi Security Forces completed the isolation phase of the operation when they seized the Palestine Bridge on November 25th. ISF are poised to begin the clearing phase in support of that. Yesterday alone, the coalition conducted 37 engagements and nine strikes that killed 47 ISIL fighters. Moving on to Al-Hawl, which is star number six, the Syrian Democratic Forces led -- or spearheaded by the Syrian-Arab coalition, are retaining the city of Al-Hawl against local counter attacks, and they're in the process of clearing out pockets of resistance behind the (inaudible) or inside the forward line of troops. Since the start of that offensive on October 30th, the SDF has regained over 900 square kilometers from ISIL. In Mara, which is off the map to the west, indicated by star number seven, vetted Syrian opposition forces, along with new Syrian forces, maintain their defensive positions, and are planning for future offensive operations. Our goal is to see these efforts mature as forces continue to push south and put increased pressure on the enemy. We anticipate seeing additional forces join that fight, and we continue to support those efforts. Along with that, I've got two pieces of video to show you today. The first is an air strike against an ISIL tunnel system. Now, ISIL has been using tunnels and trenches for protection, concealment and movement, in and around areas that they occupy. These tunnel networks run the full gamut from shallow trenches with aluminum overhead cover, to larger, more elaborate underground tunnel systems. You've likely seen some of the pictures from Sinjar. And in those pictures, ISIL were really living like dogs in filthy dens. These tunnels don't provide the protection ISIL believes they do. We've destroyed multiple tunnel complexes, trenches, and bunkers. We have got the ability to detect, and more importantly, to destroy them at will. As with all of our operations, we take great care to ensure the munitions we use destroy the tunnels while minimizing collateral damage to infrastructure and local pockets. As we're going to see in this video, illustrates why this is the most air -- why this the most precise air campaign in history.WARREN: DVIDS, go ahead and play that video, please. (VIDEO PRESENTATION) WARREN: So I was -- I was checking to make sure everyone's paying attention. We showed you two videos there, not just one. The first one was the -- was the tunnel system, and I think it's important to note that those strikes showed us -- striking the entrance to the tunnel, the exit to the tunnel and the length of the tunnel, which is significant. That second video that we -- that we showed was footage from a strike against an ISIL VBIED factory near Al-Kain (ph), which is in Anbar province near the Syrian border. That factory also served as an ISIL staging area. That successful strike was going to reduce the enemy's ability to produce IEDs to support their operations throughout the region. So -- so that's our videos for today. Also, before we finish up, I want to take a moment to address the discussion that a large percent of our aircraft returned from their missions without dropping munitions. This is simply not the case. In October, approximately 60 percent of all strike missions had one or more aircraft drop munitions. That rate increased to 65 percent in November. Overall, the rate has steadily increased since the start of OIR and is up from approximately 50 percent in July and August.WARREN: We're attacking ISIL on numerous fronts. We've attacked their fighters in Syria and Iraq, we're hitting their ability to finance their illegal and despicable operations and we'll continue to attack their VBIED factories, fighting -- and fighter staging areas. With that, I'll take your questions. And I guess we'll start off with either Bob or Lita from A.P. QUESTION: Colonel Warren, Bob Burns (ph). Question for you on the expeditionary targeting force you mentioned at the top. The prime minister's office issued a statement yesterday that was noticeably unenthusiastic, if not downright dismissive, of this idea. I was wondering, did the -- did the government actually sign off on this -- sign up for this idea before it was announced -- the Iraqi government? WARREN: Yeah, we don't really read the prime minister's statement that way. We saw the second half of the prime minister's statement really what applies to this ETF, and that was in fact we thought welcoming. He in fact uses the words "we welcome." So, we don't read the -- we don't read that statement the same way you did. I think, though, the part that everyone's caught -- caught everyone's attention has to do with -- and there has been some press reporting about this idea of, you know, multiple thousand, you know, American troops or even larger, you know, foreign armies coming in to participate either in Syria or elsewhere. So -- so, you know, we read that as welcoming to this operation and to this ETF. In fact, we've talked extensively with the prime minister about this. It's something that we exchange information with the prime minister over for the last several weeks. And, you know, and it's important to note inside of that statement, the prime minister kind of lays out the framework for what this is. You know, and there's a couple of I think notable items in that, in that, you know, everything we, you know, that this ETF will be here at the invitation of the Iraqi government. And their operations will be conducted in consultation with the Iraqi government, that the operations will be partnered with Iraqi security forces, and that they'll really help to strengthen the border, right? I mean, a lot of this is about strengthening that border, shoring up the -- the border between Iraq and Syria. And then finally, and I think it's also important that, which isn't in the statement, but, you know, this -- this partnership and this ETF and the partnered operations (inaudible), are really going to help bring up the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces as well. So we did not see it in that light at all. QUESTION: OK, thanks; a quick followup. Can you confirm the number of -- approximate number of U.S. forces that will be part of this force? WARREN: Well, of course, I'm not going to go into exact numbers. I can tell you it will be -- it will be, you know, probably around 100, maybe a little bit less. In fact, really fewer actually trigger- pullers, if you will, actual real commandos. It's really going to be a majority of support personnel, everything from, you know, aviators to collectors. So actual, you know, forces you can -- (inaudible) offensive or kinetic operations, it's a very small number, a double- digit number. QUESTION: Colonel Warren, I am perplexed by your saying that this is about border security, because that was certainly the one thing that the secretary didn't mention yesterday. He talked about staging raids, going after ISIS operatives, collecting intelligence.QUESTION: And you said earlier that this -- your words were that this is adding to the capabilities you already have. So, what is the actual mission here? And if it is adding to what you already have, one does have to ask, is this mission creep? WARREN: Yeah, it certainly is -- this ETF is expeditiously targeting -- expeditionary target force will conduct raids. Absolutely no question about that, but their presence in these -- a lot of these raids, which (ph) will morally (ph) be focused on high- value individuals, high-value targets are really what's going to contribute to strengthening the border there, reducing (inaudible) because that's a lot of times who's either directing the cross-border operations or who's physically going across the borders. So make no mistake about it, these forces, along with their Iraqi partners that they'll conduct their operations with and always in consultation with the Iraqi government, will be conducting raids. You know, I guess I'd have to ask what your definition of mission creep is. It's not really a doctrinal phrase. We see this as conducting operations to defeat ISIL. That's our mission -- our mission: defeat ISIL. So no, this is not mission creep. QUESTION: Follow up. The -- one (ph) understanding is that one of the tasks you -- they will do is if they can, they will capture and interrogate ISIS operatives. This is not narrowed down to strictly being a kill mission. There is a capture component to this. What authority is there to capture people, especially in Syria? How will you call them? Who will interrogate them? WARREN: Well, certainly, it's our preference to capture in all cases. We prefer to capture because that allows us to collect some intelligence and to gain additional information and insights into our enemy's operations. The operations that we conduct in Iraq, of course, is under the authority of the Iraqi government where they are -- certainly have the authority to capture personnel inside of their own country. In Syria, the operation -- you know, we've already seen one such operation. This was when we conducted an operation with the intent to capture Abu Sayyaf. He was killed in that operation, although we did -- we were able to capture his spouse, who was very much a part of the -- of the ISIL organization. So these will be conducted under those exact same authorities. QUESTION: Well, in Syria, where will you hold them? WARREN: Well, yeah, we won't go into the details, frankly, because I think that would compromise some of the -- some of our capabilities. But in a similar way, again, I think a good model for operations in Syria is the operation we've already conducted in Syria, which was, you know, first to stage outside of Syria, enter Syria, conducted an operation, exited Syria back to Iraq, as is I think well known, and then able to work with the Iraqi authorities to conduct detention and follow-on operations.DAVIS: Joe? QUESTION: Colonel Warren, this is Joe Tibet (ph). The Russian defense ministry has released today satellite images showing Syrian tankers from -- old tankers from crossing Syria -- the Syria and Turkish border. And also, the defense -- the Russian defense ministry has said that Turkish president and his family are involved in business with Islamic State. My question is, have you seen any evidence that ISIL is selling Syrian oil to Turkey, or Turkish groups are buying ISIL -- oil from ISIL? WARREN: First of all, let me be -- first of all, let me be very clear that we flatly reject any notion that the Turks are somehow working with ISIL. That is preposterous and really very -- kind of ridiculous. So, we absolutely flatly reject that notion. The Turks have been great partners to us in the fight against ISIL. They are hosting our aircraft, they are conducting strikes, they are supporting the minor Syrian opposition. So, they have been good partners here. So, any thought that the Turks are -- that the Turkish government is somehow working with ISIL is again, it's just preposterous, and completely untrue. You know, smuggling -- you know, the oil smuggling that goes on in this region goes back for decades. And this is something that we've working very hard to reduce, right? We've struck through Operation Tidal Wave, we have struck their oil infrastructure. Part of that infrastructure, of course, is the distribution network in the form of trucks, and we're going to continue to keep pressure on -- you know, on at least -- on ISIL's illicit oil capabilities, because this is what helps them fund their war machine, and capitulate their military operations. QUESTION: Let me move to -- to my second question about the S- 400 in the Latakia region -- area. What impact the S-400 will have on the coalition air missions over Syria? And also, do you believe or do you know if the Russians have now capabilities to shoot down any Turkish aircraft inside the Turkish airspace? WARREN: Yeah, as I said in my opening, and as I know General Dunford addressed during his testimony yesterday that that SA-21, that S-400 system is operational in Syria. We're aware of it. And it has no impact on our operations, on our mission. You know, we expect that the Russians will continue to abide by the Memorandum of Understanding that we have already established with them. As far as the Russians' capability inside of Turkey, I'm simply not going to get into that. It's a -- it's not a -- it's not a matter for this coalition. QUESTION: Yes, sir. DAVIS: Tom Bromick (ph). QUESTION: Hey, Steve. I want to get back to the targeting force. You said small numbers, double digits will be trigger-pullers, but the bottom line is that more Americans will be involved in combat operations. Isn't that right? WARREN: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, a raid is a combat operation. There is no way around that. So, yeah, more Americans will be coming here to Iraq, and some of them will be conducting raids inside of both Iraq and Syria. QUESTION: What the president said about the -- you know, months ago, last year, that this is an advise and assist mission, no combat troops, no boots on the ground. I mean, so how does that square with what the president said?WARREN: Well, obviously, I'm not going to speak for the president, but what I'll tell you is, you know, there is no -- and I think I've gone through this before, I mean, what we're talking about here is, you know, ground formations, right? Combat formations. We're not talking about, you know, 2003, the thunder run from Kuwait up to Baghdad. That's ground combat with armor and artillery and combined armed operations and death and destruction everywhere you look. This is something completely different. These are raids, these are a small number of highly skilled commandos conducting very precise, very limited operations in a spot, and then the doctrinal definition of a raid is they then come away from that spot, right? So they enter an objective area, they conduct their operation and they exit the objective area. That's a raid, that is not a major ground combat operation. So there is a difference. So some of this is semantics and it's easy to get caught up in. I try to stay away from that and let's just stick with doctrinal terminology. So will these guys be conducting raids? Yeah, they will. And we talked, you know, a month ago after the raid in (inaudible) that, you know, the American servicemember who was killed during that operation was killed in combat. But this is not, you know, a major ground combat operation. I mean, we're talking, you know, a double-digit number of personnel inside Iraq conducting very precise, very surgical, and by the way, very limited operations against exceptionally well-planned and very well-targeted objectives. QUESTION: Lastly (ph), those special operators, up to 50 that were supposed to go into Syria, have they arrived yet? WARREN: So, you know, we announced several weeks ago that there would be some Special Operations Forces entering Syria to advise and assist the Syrian democratic forces that are operating there in northern Syria. I'm not going to tell anyone when they've entered the country because this is information that will put them at a greater amount of risk. DAVIS: Marcus? QUESTION: Colonel Warren, Marcus Weisgerber. I was wondering -- you mentioned that planes are dropping more bombs. What is it -- what do you attribute that to? Is it better intelligence, having more people on the ground? WARREN: We're dropping more bombs because our capability to develop targets is increased as our intelligence has gotten better. So over time, you know, intelligence is a curve, so as you learn more -- the more you learn, the more you're able to learn, right? So it's a -- it's a stairstep. So we get better every day. Our intelligence gets more precise every day. Intelligence that we get from one place leads to intelligence in another place. So this all contributes to our ability to generate and strike more deliberate targets. On the dynamic side of the ledger, right, on the dynamic target side of the ledger, we can attribute to ground operations, right? Because air supports ground in many cases, right? Two types of targets: deliberate, which are often more strategic in nature -- Operation (inaudible) being a great example of that. And then your dynamic strikes, which are in conjunction with ground operations. So we've seen great success. I mentioned some of it in my opening statement in Al-Hawl where the Syrian democratic forces have been able to advance over 900 kilometers. And as those forces move -- and they're kind of spearheaded by the Syria-Arab coalition -- we call them the SAC -- as the SAC moves, it causes the enemy to have to move as well, right? They'll have to move and maneuver to counter the offensive operations by the SAC. What that does is it forces the enemy to pop its head up, and when the enemy moves and pops his head up, guess what? U.S. coalition airpower is there to deliver devastating effects and quick death.WARREN: So that -- so there's two things: one, better intelligence; two, an increase in the tempo of our ground operations. All of these things combine to cause us to have more strikes, you know, higher numbers. QUESTION: Hi, Colonel Warren. The ETF -- can you give us a sense of the -- of the operational tempo for them? Is this going to be something where they're carrying out kind of infrequent targeted raids? Or are we going to see a kind of a return to the kind of high tempo operations that aim to utilize intelligence that's quickly gained and -- and reemploy it as fast as possible? WARREN: Let's let them get on the ground first and then we'll -- we'll have a little bit better sense. So as of now, really, that's not a question that an answer exists yet. There is no answer to that question yet. So let's let them get on the ground. Let's let them get established. And then we can revisit that. QUESTION: I know you can't get into a lot of details about how they're going to do their jobs, but, you know, with only 100 guys, I mean, is it safe to assume that they'll be using coalition aircraft for mobility that's independent from this group? That they'll be -- they'll be dependent on other coalition capabilities from inside Iraq that will allow them to move around, maybe through Apaches or other -- other aircraft that are already internal? Or is this number going to be augmented with support staff so that they can have the kind of mobility that they need? WARREN: Again, let's let them get on the ground first and determine what their operational tempo is going to be, which will then drive what type of, you know, what type of transportation requires (sic) they need. They will arrive -- when they arrive, they will have everything they need to conduct the operations that they need to conduct, whether they bring it with them or it's provided by -- by personnel and equipment that's already here. They'll have everything they need. QUESTION: Also, in the start of your remarks, you said there was no change perceived from the intent of Russia inside Syria, with the delivery of this S-400 system. What -- what is that based on? Is that based on the fact that they're not painting aircraft? Or is it -- what is it based on? Is it there's been no use of it against coalition aircraft in any way? WARREN: Yeah, that's based on our discussions with them. We talk to the Russians now every day as part of the working group that we have to de-conflict, right, to create safe skies. And this certainly falls in the category of ensuring that the skies are safe for U.S. and coalition aviators. QUESTION: Hi, Colonel. President Barack Obama and Secretary Kerry, and yesterday Secretary Carter, all have been emphasizing that -- emphasizing the sealing of the remaining border between Turkey -- sealing of the remaining border between Turkey and Syria. But they don't, you know, explain how and who should take care of that area, that 98 kilometers. Could you clarify whether the U.S. just want it to be cleared of Daesh or ISIS? Or is there a particular group which the U.S. wants to -- wants to take control of that area? WARREN: We want that area to be clear of ISIL.QUESTION: So, a followup, another question. Recently, we see that the PYD, the Kurdish forces, are pushing toward the west. And recently, we have seen that they have been conducting attacks on the opposition forces near Aleppo. So how do you, you know, take this? What's your assessment on these attacks? WARREN: Our assessment is that any attack against ISIL is an attack that we are happy to see. You know, there are moderate Syrian opposition forces throughout that region and they are conducting dynamic operations, particularly in the Aleppo area. I'll tell you, Aleppo is a confusing area right now. There are -- everybody's in Aleppo. There are regime forces there, moderate Syrian opposition forces are there, non-moderate Syrian opposition forces are there by -- you know, al-Nusra and others. ISIL is there. So it's -- there's a lot going on around Aleppo. Our focus is ISIL. We want to see ISIL defeated and eventually see Assad removed form power. QUESTION: Just recently, the Russian have supported PYD with airstrikes, and also they have air dropped like five tons of ammunitions to the (inaudible) forces. What's your reaction to this, Colonel? WARREN: You know, the Russians have said that they're -- publicly said that what they want to do is fight terrorism, but in fact, their actions say something else. The Russians -- really, everything that they are doing is to support Assad, to keep Assad in power. We believe that this is strategically short-sighted. Every time the Russians conduct an operation that extends or helps extend Assad's hold on power is yet another day that -- that Syrian civilians -- citizens of Syria will suffer under the boot of Bashar al-Assad. DAVIS: (OFF-MIKE) QUESTION: Colonel Warren, I wanted to go back to Ramadi for a moment. Help us understand what the hold up is in retaking Ramadi. You briefed us in the past about the -- the difficulty of the dug-in defenses. You showed us the kind of breaching equipment, the tactics that they're teaching. Yesterday in his testimony, Secretary Carter seemed to indicate one big problem was the lack of Sunni fighters and he called on the Baghdad government to do more. Particular, I -- I saw him -- heard him emphasize, you know, recruit and -- and pay these fighters. What is the hold up? What -- what's the factor that's preventing Ramadi from being retaken in a timely fashion? WARREN: Well, first of all, a little context. You know, when -- when the American military took Ramadi, it was a six-month long process, six months. So Ramadi's not an easy city to take. It is a difficult problem and -- and I would submit to you that ISIL defenses inside of Ramadi now are more difficult than what we, the United States Army, faced years ago. So it's a -- it's a tough nut to crack, so that's -- that's thing one. Thing two, you have to remember, when this all started, the -- the -- much of the Iraqi security forces had -- had been shattered, so they had -- had to have been rebuilt. We spent the last year training, advising and equipping the Iraqi security forces. These things take time. You don't train an army over night, it takes months to train it, and then there's the process of equipping it. So that's thing two.WARREN: Thing three. Yes, there have been some internal, I think, politics at play here as far as recruiting and paying some of the -- some of the Sunni -- some of the tribal fighters. This is something that the secretary alluded to yesterday and it's something that we're working every day with the Iraqis to help solve. So, there's a -- you know, there's a lot of different factors involved here, but I think the most important factor is that it's just a hard one, this is a difficult -- is a difficult city to take. DAVIS: David Martin (ph). QUESTION: Still on Ramadi. You said that the fall of the Palestine Bridge had completed the isolation of the city. I thought there was still some routes in and out to the northwest of the city. So, one, is the -- is the city completely isolated? And two, there was reporting yesterday from Iraq that the -- the battle to retake Ramadi had begun. And you're saying that's not the case, correct? WARREN: Let's be clear about one thing, isolated is not sealed, all right? There's no possible way to seal a city like that. There are, you know, three river entrances in and out. I mean, it's a complex city. You're never going to seal a city the size of Ramadi. So, there's going to continue to be rat lines and smuggling routes and et cetera, there's ways in and out of the city. But it is militarily isolated; in other words, large formations can't move in and out. So, I think that's, you know, an important distinction. Has the start -- you know, again, I would submit to you that the fight for Ramadi started months ago, when the isolation thing started, right? Again, militarily, the operation to liberate Sinjar has broken into phases. Phase I, isolate. Phase II, clear. Phase III, stabilize. So, you know, the isolation phase is complete. We're now moving into the clearing phase. And I -- I would submit to you the clearing phase has started. Again, you know, we dropped -- you know, we conducted, what did I say, 47 air strikes, or 39 whatever it was. Nine air strikes with 47 enemy killed yesterday, as part of the clearance process. So, I would tell you it has begun. QUESTION: How is -- how is the clearing process begun on the ground? Where -- where are Iraqi troops moving into the city? WARREN: All right. So -- and I -- I didn't bring my Ramadi map with me, so I can't point to it. But essentially what we've done is we've positioned forces along the four axes, essentially the four points of compass, north, south, east and west. You've got -- a tenth of the division is to the north. Again, if you look at the Palestine Bridge, you know, from there to the river, essentially. To the south, it's -- Iraqi Security Forces combined with CTS forces that have moved up into that apartment complex, al-Tamim (ph), I believe it's called, where they are kind of in an assault position, prepared to move north through that warehouse district. On the west, they have moved as far as Camp Warar (ph), which borders the river, and they hold Camp Warar (ph) now. And they are now in a position to start pressing south. So, they're essentially surrounding the city on its outskirts, kind of in the suburbs, if you will. But they are not yet into the city center. We won't get into the details of how they -- the Iraqis plan to sequence their clearing. I think that's probably too -- a little bit too tactical, too much tactical language (ph) to put out. But you know, the clearance process will essentially begin, you know, along those four points of the compass. Does that help, Dave? DAVIS: Andrew. QUESTION: Steve, hi. It's Andrew Tilghman. I want to ask you about the S-400s again, and ask you to describe the readiness level of those systems. It's my impression that they are not in the passive mode that the Syrian air defense -- Syrian regime's air defense were in for a long time.QUESTION: Is that true? Are they painting U.S. aircraft? Are they essentially ready to fire? WARREN: The systems are operational and energized. So you've got to remember, there's acquisition and then there's (inaudible) radar. It's being seen and being acquired are two different aspects. I'm not comfortable telling you that level of detail, but what I'll tell you is that those radars are energized and they're operational, you know. So we're aware of them, but we're not going to let it affect our operations. QUESTION: I was wondering how the expeditionary force changes the military's detention operations. You pointed to the Zaeff (ph) raid, but the results of that were that the Department of Defense was holding her, rather than the Iraqis, at a facility in Iraq for an indefinite period of time, and then eventually she was handed back to the Iraqis. Presumably, people who would be gotten on these raids wouldn't be citizens of Iraq like Zaeff (ph) was. So how does the expeditionary force change the detention mission? What will happen with them? Are you going to be building cases against them for them to be charged in the U.S.? WARREN: Yeah, that's -- that's too far out. Let these guys get on the ground and conduct an operation or two first. You know, those policy-level questions, as far as I know, they're still being sorted out out in Washington. Right now, our focus is getting these guys out here on the ground and prepared for their -- for their first mission. QUESTION: Colonel, Dan Lamotte (ph). Britain is expected today to expand their mission into Syria. Can you elaborate at all on the discussions as far as between Britain and the coalition as they expand? What that might look like? Whether that means they're going to move aircraft into different locations? And, I guess, what -- what sort of different things, if any, that they would bring to bear in terms of Brimstone missiles or some of the other equipment that they have at their availability? WARREN: So, certainly if the Brits decide to -- you know, I think it's in -- I don't have an exact status. I know there's going to be a vote in parliament I guess today. So probably a little early, we've got to see what happens with this vote first. But we would certainly welcome any additional support that our British allies can bring to bear. And, of course, you know, the Brits are, you know, are arguably one of the most capable militaries on earth. And so we very much look forward to any additional capabilities the Brits can bring us. They've been great partners. Our own deputy commanding officer is a Brit. The same is true for the 82nd Airborne Division, who serves as the CCLF (ph) here. So, we're very close to the Brits. They've been conducting operations here in Iraq that are exceptionally effective. And we look forward to an expansion of that role should the British parliament decide that that's the right thing to do. QUESTION: Hey, Steve. With the ETF, is this the 100 personnel, is this operating under -- under the existing authority? I think it was 3,550 that the president has -- has said for this operation. Or does this require an additional authorization for -- for more troops? And what would the new number be? WARREN: Yeah, we're going to raise -- we're going to end up raising the force cap by about 100 or so.QUESTION: Yeah. Hi, Colonel. Richard Sisk. Back to Ramadi, you said that yesterday, there were nine strikes and 37 engagements. What do you mean by engagements? And can I ask about the munitions you're using against the tunnel complexes? From the videos you showed, it looked like there was some initial debris thrown up by the initial impact and then almost a secondary explosion. Can you talk about the types of munitions you might be using there? WARREN: Right. And I was -- I specifically put out that nine and 37. Thank you for that question. So the way we count our strikes is when, you know, a set of aircraft move against a target, but in the case of dynamic strikes, it can sometimes be a little confusing. The numbers appear artificially low, so that's why I wanted to put in the actual number of engagements. Each engagement is a separate item that's been destroyed, whether that item is, you know, a bunker or maybe that item is a fighting position or maybe that item is a group of ISIL fighters. So, you know, that -- I guess that's the difference. So while you may only do nine strikes inside of one single strike, you may destroy a bunker and you may destroy a machine gun position and you may -- you know, in two different places and you may destroy, you know, a small tactical unit in yet a third place. But we still, by the way we count, call that one strike. So there's a difference there. On the munition types, yeah, we're using a variety of different munitions, some of which do have the capability of penetrating a surface with an initial explosion or capability and then detonating subsurface to destroy whatever it is that we believe is under the ground. So this case of a tunnel, you drop the munition, it penetrates the ground and then explodes when it's inside the actual tunnel, which wipes out everything in the tunnel. Unfortunately, I don't have the nomenclature of those weapon systems, though. QUESTION: Colonel Warren, can I go back to the ETF. You talked about them operating in -- in consultation with the Iraqi government. But will the Iraqi government have a veto on any of the ETF operations inside Iraq? WARREN: Well, I don't -- I don't know that -- veto's not really a doctrinal term. I mean, these are -- these are operations that we do in consultation with and in partnership with the Iraqi security forces. So, you know, if the Iraqi government doesn't believe that a particular operation should be done, they'll make that clear to us. DAVIS: Jim? QUESTION: Colonel Warren, a couple of questions. With the ETF again, what -- if this is a good idea now, what changed to make this more effective and make the timing right to bring the ETF to bear at this point? And as a follow-on to that, are they going to be additionally -- with all the other responsibilities, are they going to be helping with any targeting -- targeting force, but are they actually going to help targeting from the air, kind of working like that? And do you already have any targets in mind to hit as soon as they do hit the ground? WARREN: Well, Jeff, that last question was -- is, you know, not something I'm going to answer because then that target might know and then they would run away, wouldn't they? On the rest of your question, you know, I don't know that anything changed. I mean, this is -- you know, this is development, right? As our intelligence -- you know, and I think the secretary said this months ago, right -- we're going to reinforce success.WARREN: So when we see things that work, we're going to do more of those things. As we see things -- you know, an example, the raid in Fallujah. Another example, the raid against (ph) Abu Sayyaf. Those things work and we're going to do more of the things that work. And when there's things that don't work, we're going to do less of it. One example is the -- you know, the Syria train and equip mission that we had that was discontinued at this point several months ago. QUESTION: If I could just clarify, I wasn't trying to ask for a list -- for you to share the list of targets, but you already have -- you know, not to share, but you already have targets in mind that you that you're not going to share, but you know already. You have a game plan for what you want to do when you hit the ground. DAVIS: Yes. QUESTION: Yes. Hi, Colonel. I apologize if you've gone over this. I arrived a little late. There are reports that the Russians have established another staging base, other than Latakia, and so I wanted to ask if you can confirm that or talk about the Russian footprint in Syria? WARREN: They've -- I mean, they've -- the Russians have -- you know, they've got facilities in about four, maybe five different spots in and around the Latakia area. They're conducting improvements on some of them and they've long been at Latakia. So they've long been there. They've got some naval presence there and they've since expanded out from there, yes. QUESTION: Real quickly, in the SAC (ph). How big is the SAC (ph) now? Is it growing in size? Is it gaining new members? WARREN: Well, the SAC (ph) has really been integrated into the -- the SDF. You know, the original SAC (ph) that we discussed, which has been kind of the spearhead of operations inside of the Al-Hawl region, 10,000ish -- 5,000 -- 5,000. Overall, the Syrian democratic forces, we believe, you know, in the tens of thousands. So you know, the Syrian democratic forces are kind of an umbrella organization that incorporates multiple different outfits. You know, the Syria and Arab coalition being part of it with several thousand members. You know, the other -- you know, other subunits have all kind of come together, coalesced, if you will, into this larger coalition. DAVIS: (OFF-MIKE) QUESTION: Morning, Colonel (inaudible). Ramadi -- my understanding is we sent leaflets or somehow altered the population to leave the city before the main assault started. Reports out today that the ISF -- ISIL are telling people -- warning people if they try to escape, they'll die. Given our concern about collateral damage, you know, are the (inaudible) of civilian population inside Ramadi going to restrict what we can do as far as air support for the ground op? WARREN: Well, there have been -- and you know, this is, you know, yet another example of the brutality of this enemy, right? I mean, you know, I'd mentioned that they live like dogs in a den (ph) and it's so true. They are animals and so here are there civilians that are simply trying to leave the fighting and -- and ISIL's answer to that is to either prevent them from leaving or to shoot them, to just continue keeping them, you know, oppressed and keeping them under their -- keeping that ISIL boot to the necks of these civilians, which is just disgusting.WARREN: So, you know, we are going to take every bit of precaution that we can to ensure that we don't, you know, create some impact (inaudible). We take -- you know, this has been the most precise air campaign I think in the history of air campaigns, in the history of warfare, frankly. Never has such precision been brought to bear in a situation like this. So we're going to continue to do that. Whether we restrict, you know, I don't know -- I mean, our enemy does try to use civilians as human shields, which is tragic. So in that case, we won't strike. So yeah, I guess it will restrict. But -- but that, you know, that doesn't prevent us from still delivering precision air power where it's needed. In any combination with ground forces, you know, we're confident that Ramadi will be liberated. You know, it's unfortunate, you know, again, just another example of how these people operate. QUESTION: Quick question on the ETF. You didn't answer the question earlier -- targeting. Are they -- are there going to be coordinated -- controllers in that party who can actually call in airstrikes? When you say -- when you're talking about targeting, you know, that can be, OK, until you can identify a target where you can have controllers who can actually call in airstrikes. Are these -- are there air controllers in there? WARREN: No, this isn't that. No. Their contribution to the targeting process will be in the target development portion of it, right -- intelligence and target development. QUESTION: Thank you, Colonel. Rob Gentry (ph). I had a question to follow up on the statement on airstrikes on Monday. There was one strike mentioned in Iraq on inoperable coalition equipment. Do you have any details on what that equipment was and how it became inoperable? WARREN: That (inaudible) was Monday. That attack -- I'd have to go back and check. You know, occasionally, you know, a piece of coalition or Iraqi equipment will fall into enemy hands and we'll see it and we'll destroy it. I think that one might have been a tank, but I can't remember the details, honestly. We can look it up and try and give it to you. Sent me a note and I'll check into it for you. QUESTION: Colonel, was the Iraqi government or military given a heads up or warned before Secretary Carter announced this additional force that is going to be going to Iraq? WARREN: Absolutely. We've been talking with the -- with the prime minister about this for weeks. QUESTION: And this new S-400 system, you said that it wasn't going to impact operations. But according to your strike releases in the last few days, I've noticed the strikes have dropped a little bit, averaging only a couple a day. Can you talk about that? WARREN: Yeah. So, strike numbers have in Syria decreased a little bit over the last couple of days, but that has nothing to do with the S-400 system at all. That -- that's related to the fact that, you know, our target development process wasn't in a place where we had any more -- we didn't have any targets over the last couple of days, or not enough targets. But, you know, and -- and the target development process kind of ebbs and flows, right? I mean, we'll get a piece of intelligence. We'll crank through that intelligence, develop targets, strike those targets, and then, you know, more intelligence has to come in. And sometimes it has to do with ground forces maneuvering, but, you know, a lot of -- a lot of the maneuver operations has kind of gotten to a place where, like I said in Al-Hawl, where the SAC (ph) is (inaudible) backwards now, you know, they moved -- they bypassed some forces, established a forward line. But now they had to go back and clear some of the smaller pockets that they had bypassed. So we are -- it's just -- it's really just a matter of the dynamic nature of this battlefield.QUESTION: The expeditionary targeting force -- is that a doctrinal -- doctrinal term? Who came up with that title or that name? Thank you. WARREN: Right. That's a great question. I don't have an answer for you, but let me look into it. DAVIS: Tom (ph). QUESTION: How are you doing, Steve? Tom Bromick (ph) again. I just want to clarify something. You said we'll raise the force cap by about 100. Is that exclusively for the targeting force? Because we were told, back on October 30th, by a senior Defense official that most of those folks were already in place, and there would be some enhancement of them with further deployments. WARREN: Yes, it'll be for a combination, right? So, there are some -- there are some pieces of that already in place, and there's other pieces that need to be added. I don't have the details on it, if the additions are going to be trigger-pullers, or if the additions are going to be aviators, or if the additions are going to be targeteers. That, I just don't have. But -- but we expect that, when all is said and done, when we combine the actual trigger-pullers with all of the various support personnel that are required, the end state is going to be about 100 up from where we are now. DAVIS: One more from Richard. QUESTION: Yeah, hi, Colonel, Richard Sisk again. Colonel, any estimate on how many -- how many ISIS fighters now in -- now in Ramadi? WARREN: Now, we're -- our number right now is, you know, 600 to 1,000 total, and that includes fighters and maybe, you know, some auxiliary, some helpers and supporters and such. Not an exact science. We have been striking them, you know, hard. We have now completed this isolation, so it'll be much more difficult for the enemy to send reports and such (ph). So, I expect the number will rapidly decline, and particularly as Iraqi Security Forces begin to move through. But for now, we're still on the 600 to 1,000, is our number. DAVIS: We are out of time. Thank you very much, Steve, for your time. And we will look forward to seeing you next week. WARREN: OK, Jeff. Thanks, guys. We'll see you next week. END

SENATE FLOOR DEBATE: The Senate will convene and begin a period of morning business. Thereafter, begin consideration of H.R. 1591, the Supplemental Appropriations bill. 15:00:04.3 mr. president, as you can see clearly from this chart, since the birth of the modern day 15:00:11.1 union movement in 1935, when you evaluate their percentage of the overall work force, unions have had some good years up in here and they've had many bad years. as that chart clearly 15:00:25.7 demonstrates under the current system of nlrb overseeing private ballot elections in recent years, unions have lost membership.n crrchtsly i must underscore union membership stands at 17.4% of the private-sector work 15:00:43.1 force. proponents of the employee-free -- seek to turn back time when it comes to the percentage of the work force that is unilateral ayesed and that they want to be unionized. i have no inherent problem with a fairly considered, fairly 15:00:57.6 elected union. however, this bill attempts to increase union strength through an artificial union-controlled "card check" certification procedure which tosses away the traditional nlrb supervised private ballot election. 15:01:14.2 where's the problem we are trying to fix? this bill would replace the time-honored nlrb protected private-ballot election. the traditional system under which workers decide bhej to be represented or not represented by a union. 15:01:31.2 instead, the system would be supplanted with a mandated -- quote -- "card check" procedure where union organizers can be pressured to sign union authorization cards which are then presented to the nlrb for certification to the union as 15:01:48.1 the exclusive bargaining representative of all of the employees. it is important for us to consider that the u.s. supreme court has repeated by denounced union authorization cards as being -- quote -- "inherently unreliable" because of the types of peer pressures, some subtle 15:02:07.4 and some not so subtle or benign, to sign the cards. in its 1969gissell parking disirks the court acknowledged that the use of authorization cards to determine majority support is unreliable. 15:02:21.2 and that private-ballot elections are the -- quote -- "mass satisfactory, indeed, the preferred method of ascertaining whether a union has majority support" -- unquote. unions likewise prefer an 15:02:37.5 nlrb-protected and supervised private-ballot election at least when they are faced with a decertification petition from their members to determine whether the union still has majority support. that was demonstrated once again last month by union opposition to a proposed amendment to apply 15:02:53.9 the card check provisions of the so-called employee free choice act to decertification elections. that amendment was defeated in the house committee's markup. as one court stated with regard to card check authorization -- 15:03:11.9 quote -- "it would be difficult to imagine a more unreliable method of employees than a card check unless it were an employer's request for an open show of hand. 15:03:24.2 the one is no more reliable than the other. that's in the nlrb logan packing company of the fourth circuit." it is hard to believe that we are seriously considering a bill to deny workers a private-ballot vote so soon after the national elections. 15:03:39.4 it is also inconsistent with our nation's history in promoting private-ballot elections for the disenfranchised members of society through the suffragette and civil rights movements, especially when we are fighting for the opportunity of individuals around the world to 15:03:54.9 have the democratic right to a private-ballot election that is free of intimidation and coercion. i am reminded of a statement made on january 31 of this year by my longtime friend and colleague from massachusetts on the need for fair elections. 15:04:11.5 quote -- "for too long we've ignored the festering problem of deceptive practices intended to intimidate and deceive voters in our national elections." although i am not able to say this very often, i can say that 15:04:27.7 i am in absolute agreement with my friend on that point. in every election, whether it is for president, local dogcatcher, or union organization, we as representatives of the people 15:04:41.6 whom we serve, have an opportunity to ensure that our constituents' votes will be cast without fear and intimidation. i assert, and i think many also would back this up, that a private-ballot election overseen 15:04:59.2 by the nlrb, a government agency, has a better chance to be more free and fair than one in which it is left to the union organizers to solicit cards in 15:05:11.1 secret until they achieve a majority of 50 + 1. what happens to the other 49%? are they just disenfranchised? the answer is yes. 15:05:24.7 under the card check system, there is no inducement to allow employees to make an informed decision, learn all the facts, and hear arguments for and against unionization. it is difficult for me to believe that we would be considering a bill which would 15:05:40.3 mandate to the government-imposed wages and terms and conditions of employment where the parties new to collective bargaining have not reached agreement after 90 days. this would destroy free collective bargaining and the entire labor law concept of -- quote -- "impasse" -- unquote -- 15:05:57.5 when the parties are unable to agree. under the so-called employer free choice act for first contracts -- quote -- "impasse" -- unquote -- would be defined as -- quote -- "90 days" of bargaining before government steps in. 15:06:12.4 even basic labor law textbooks term compulsory binding arbitration as the -- quote -- "antithesis of collective bargaining." unquote. these are radical changes in national labor policy which have little to do with employee free choice. 15:06:28.5 in fact, these amendments would disenfranchise workers by denying them private-ballot elections and a vote on whether to accept the wages, terms, and conditions the government arbitration panel would impose on them. so, mr. president, who would 15:06:45.7 benefit from the passage of the so-called employee free choice act? i can tell you -- only unions. they would be virtually guaranteed organizing success, increased union membership, and more union dues. 15:07:02.9 as you can see from this chart, over the past six years, unions traditionally win approximately 50% to 60% of nlrb-supervised private-ballot elections. in contrast, it has been 15:07:18.8 reported that -- quote -- "card check" elections yield union success approximately 80-to 85% of the time. who would benefit? i can tell you -- only unions. look at that chart again. 15:07:35.0 union win rates in elections. the ones with the nlrb has supervises, in 20050, 51%, 2001, 54%, 2002%, they won 56%, 2003, 15:07:51.6 they won 57%, 2004, they won 57%, 2005, they won 61%, and in 2006, they won 61%. where card check elections have been held because the employers 15:08:05.4 have agreed to them, i guess, because it's certainly not law yet -- that's why they're bringing this law -- 80% to 85% have become unionized even though 49% of the people in those companies have had nothing to say about it. 15:08:20.9 it's not right. it's not the way to go. now, unions would be guaranteed first contracts for a period of two years under this bill. looking at the big picture, what would the so-called employee free choice act mean for our economy? 15:08:36.0 let me read from a recent article written by jack and susie welsh in the march 12 issue of "businessweek" magazine. jack welch is one of the all-time important business leaders in this country. here's what they had to say. quote -- "we know it must sound strange to oppose legislation 15:08:53.8 that promises something as motherhoody as free choice, but the title of this bill is pure propaganda. it won't encourage liberty or self-determination in the workplace. 15:09:07.7 more likely it will introduce intimidation and coercion by labor organizers who have, after a long slide into near-oblivion, finally see a glorious new right to millions of dues-paying members. 15:09:24.6 their campaign can strirg trigger a surge acrows u.s. industry and in time aversion to the bloated economy that brought america to its knees in the late-1970's and early 1980's and that today cripless much of european business. drive through pennsylvania's 15:09:47.2 lehigh value i land take a look at all the shuttered factories. steel, like coal and auto and other industries in the global economy, paid the inevitable price of unionization run amok." they continue. 15:10:03.0 quote -- "the advance of the employee free choice act continues unabated and so pretty 15:10:09.0 soon if enough business leaders and legislators don't stand up, it may well be hello again, unions. so long american competitiveness. the change won't happen instantly. 15:10:21.4 companies will fight unions as if their lives depend on it, because they do. but given the logistics of the employee free choice act, any management campaign is hobbled. if you can't be at the kitchen table with the organizers and their hard stares, you probably 15:10:39.4 can't wince." he summed it up n those areas where employers have agreed to a card check, they've invariably being unionized and many employees unionized against their will, with the obligation of paying dues. mr. president, i ask unanimous 15:10:54.4 consent that the full article be inserted in the record at this point. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hatch: so, mr. president, i assert that this is the start of another historic senate debate on national labor policy. it's unfortunate that i have to be involved in this because i 15:11:10.0 was raised in the union movement. i'm one of the few people who have served in congress who actually earned a union card, who actually became a skilled building tradesman, who worked in the building construction trades for ten years. and i believe that unions are 15:11:25.5 important, but i believe they should have to earn their membership and not have it given to them. in conclusion, as we enter this debate, let us not be fooled by the misinformation from the other side. take a look at this chart. they claim that employers coerce 15:11:42.4 employees to vote "no." the truth is that in less than 2% of cases is it found that an employer has inappropriately interfered in a union organizing election. 15:11:57.6 they claim that unions can't win elections under the current system. well, the friewj is that unions won 62% of nlrb elections in 2005. the last year where a complete set of statistics exists. and they claim that american 15:12:16.5 workers want to form unions using a "card check" system. the truth is that according to a recent poll, 79% of americans disagree with the elimination of private ballots when voting in union organizing elections. 15:12:33.4 the president has issued a statement of administration policy that he would veto the so-called employee free choice act if it reached his desk. that should not make us complacent in the senate. even if a veto were necessary, senate passage of a bill like 15:12:49.1 that which was passed by the house would put us on record in future congresses as being against private ballot elections for workers and union representation decisions and in support of government-imposed wages -- the presiding officer: the 15:13:03.7 senator's time has spiertd. mr. hatch: i would ask unanimous consent that i -- i will fish in just a couple of minutes. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. hatch: even in a veto were necessary, senate bill of a bill like that would put us on record in future congresses as being 15:13:20.0 against private-ballot elections for workers and union representation decisions and in support of government-imposed wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment through a union contracts where workers themselves will be denied a ratification vote. is that where we want to be a 15:13:36.8 year from now? a year or two from now? i for one do not think we as a nation should head in that direction and i urge my colleagues to resist any attempt to force unionization son the american work force. to paraphrase the movie "the god father," i believe that union bosses have made the american 15:13:53.3 work force a deal that they can refuse. we must oppose any attempt to pass any iteration of the employee free choice act and we must do it on behalf of the american worker. so thank you, mr. president. er i thank my colleague from colorado, and the i yield the 15:14:08.0 floor. mr. salazar: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. salazar: mr. president, i come to the floor today to speak about the issue of energy and the importance of us in this united states senate and in this congress and in this country 15:14:23.9 moving forward with an authentic picture with respect to energy independence for our country. i believe that when we get up in the morning and we think about the major issues that are facing our country, there are three issues that for me always come 15:14:40.1 to mind. the first is, what is happening in iraq and around the world and how we restore america's greatness and how we port humty dumpty together together with respect to make sure that america's greatness we've enjoyed for the last two centuries is something we enjoy 15:14:57.1 at the dawn and in the future of the 21st century and beyond and secondly the domestic issues which are very difficult and very important which we're attempting to confront today, 15:15:07.2 the issue of health care and how we move forward to a system where create and develop a health insurance and health care availability for all the people of america is an issue which continues to confront us and, third, the issue of energy and how we move forward with the 15:15:23.9 issue of energy is something that many of us in this chamber and in the united states house of representatives and in the white house today we continue to work on this issue which is is he important to all of us. with respect to iraq, we will be facing that issue here this week 15:15:41.6 and in the months ahead. i believe strongly there is unity in the united states of america in terms of our support for our troops. i believe there is a long-term desire to make sure what we do is to establish stability in the middle east. 15:15:57.1 i believe all of us want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to support our troops. however, the debate that will occur on this floor this week and beyond is an important debate. it is a debate that involves, perhaps, the most important 15:16:13.0 issue of our time -- the issue of war and peace. the debate is appropriate to be held on the floor of the united states senate. with respect to health care, i'm pleased with the efforts that the senate finance committee and the help committee are 15:16:28.6 undertaking with the leadership of senator baucus, senator kennedy and others as we try to address the issue of health care. this year, for sure, we will move forward with a program that, hopefully, will expand the coverage of health insurance to the children of america. 15:16:43.7 we think about nine million children in this country who today have no health insurance, the expansion of the chip program is very important for all of these children across our many states who today do not have health insurance. the energy issue is an issue 15:17:01.4 which is working its way through our various committees in the united states senate. in the ago committee we are looking at title nine of the farm bill which will be a robust law that will move us forward 15:17:18.4 with a new agenda with respect to agriculture and committee. in the energy committee with senator bingaman and senator domenici we are working on 15:17:33.2 several bills moving toward energy independence and in the senate finance committee under the leadership of senator baucus and senator grassley we have numerous initiatives on the table to create incentives to have the kinds of biofuels and solar energy and other energies 15:17:49.0 that will create the new environment for us to be successful in a program on energy independence. for me, when i think of energy i see the dawning of a new age for my state of colorado and also for america. it's a dawning of an age of 15:18:04.7 america which we ought to embrace with vigor. it's the dawning of the age of a clean energy future for the united states of america. a year ago in my state, i hosted the first colorado renewable energy summit. at that summit, there were more 15:18:20.9 than 500 who were brought together to talk about our national energy policy and the energy opportunities we face in my state. we put renewable energy in the headlines for colorado and we have kept energy at the top of colorado's agenda for the past 15:18:36.6 year. this last saturday, just two days ago on march 24th, 2007, we again summoned the people of colorado together. we had over 1,000 people who attended a summit at the colorado convention center. we were joined in that summit by 15:18:51.7 my colleague, senator allard, and the colorado governor, the mayor, six members of the united states house of representatives, the president of the colorado senate, the speaker of the colorado house of representatives and, as i said, more than 1,000 people in my 15:19:06.9 state who were interested in renewable energy and energy efficiency for our state and for the entire country. because of the work we have taken on in just the last year in colorado today, we have a colorado renewable energy collaboration which is an 15:19:24.9 incredible association with the national renewable energy laboratory, the colorado school of mines and the university of colorado at boulder. although the ink is not dry on this formation, the four great research institutions have 15:19:41.8 launched a research program, the colorado center for biorefining and biofuels. colorado's private sector is moving forward, too, on a variety of different fronts. with respect to wind, colorado has added 60-megawatts of wind 15:19:57.8 in the last two years. but consider what's on the agenda for 2007, mr. president. in 2007, my state of colorado 15:20:06.1 will add another 775 megawatts, more than tripling the production of wind. that is equivalent of the generation that we get from approximately two full-fledged 15:20:21.6 power plants. beyond wind, we have embraced solar. since the passage of a citizens initiative in colorado two years ago, colorado's solar industries have seen a growth of 40% every year. 15:20:35.5 the state's first commercial solar electricity project is constructed in my native valley this year in 2007. we move from wind to solar to biodiesel in 2004, mr. president, there was no biodiesel produced in the state of colorado. 15:20:52.3 today we have three plants in my state producing more than 30 million-gallons a year and a fourth plant is ready to start operations in the production of biodiesel. we go beyond biodiesel to ethanol. two years ago we had no ethanol plants in the state of colorado. today we have three ethanol 15:21:09.3 plants producing 90 million-gallons per year of ethanol. we have a fourth plant that will come online in 2007 adding 50 more gallons per year and several other plants in the planning stages. that's not all. 15:21:23.6 this my state of colorado, we have moved forward with wind energy companies, with solar designers and manufacturers opening up facilities, and ethanol companies engaged in the rd which in two years will be at 15:21:42.7 a point where a particular type of ethanol is available in the commercial markets. we have hybrid vehicle manufacturers doing technology development and research in my state. hybrid and plug in battery manufacturers and engine 15:21:58.8 efficiency research companies in colorado springs. there is a lot more happening with respect to our clean renewable energy in my state of colorado. now, we have a long road ahead of us but we have found our 15:22:14.3 stride. we know the destination. we want america to be the world center for renewable energy research, for development and for production. i want my state to play a significant role as we embrace that agenda. let's be clear about what is 15:22:30.8 happening with respect to energy in the united states of america. some of us need to remind ourselves that it was not so long ago when president nixon and president carter, later on, said that we needed to embrace the new ethic of energy 15:22:45.9 independence. this was in the 1970's, 35, 40, 45 years ago. we were talking about the importance of energy independence. frankly, because of the economics that were driving it at the time there was great concern with respect to the formation of opec and with respect to the volatility of 15:23:02.6 markets that could disrupt the american economy. we see what happened in response to the leadership in the 1970's where there were great investments made in technologies that would look at alternative fuels to power our homes, cars and this country. 15:23:19.5 but the driver of economics went away when the price of oil dropped to around $202,122, $23 per barrel. this past year when the price 15:23:34.3 went up to $60 or $70 a barrel and the price of gasoline was up to $3 a gallon and $3.60, and diesel doing the same thing, it became apparent that the 15:23:52.7 economic driver was not the only significant driver. mr. president, i inquire into the amount of time remaining in morning business. the presiding officer: we have 7 1/2 minutes remaining. 15:24:06.6 mr. salazar: i inquire of my friend from west virginia as to whether he planned on using the time in morning business. mr. president, i ask unanimous consent i be allowed, then, to 15:24:22.7 proceed for another seven minutes in morning business unless my friend from west virginia needed to use part of that time. the presiding officer: is there objection? i'm sorry, i couldn't hear the 15:24:43.8 senator from west virginia. could you use the microphone, please. mr. byrd: may i respond to the senator. the presiding officer: absolutely. mr. byrd: i do have an amendment and i will speak concerning the amendment. 15:24:58.8 the presiding officer: okay. 15:25:04.7 if the senator from west virginia doesn't have an objection, we will allow the senator from colorado to finish his remarks and then recognize the senator from west virginia. 15:25:17.6 mr. byrd: very well. mr. salazar: mr. president, so i am clear on my state, i have about seven minutes in morning business, then, allocated to me under the current order. the presiding officer: that is correct and then the chair will recognize senator byrd. 15:25:31.9 mr. salazar: mr. president, let me condition with respect to the comments i was making concerning the issue of energy. if you think about the 1970's and the 1980's it was the economic driver at the root of 15:25:49.1 what we were trying to do to develop solar and wind energy and looking at biofuels and the like. a lot has changed in those times. there is tremendous interest and tremendous amount of energy being spent in each of our 15:26:04.8 committees here in the united states senate and in the house of representatives and in the white house and in the department of energy on a clean energy future for america. some ask the question today, well, is this another short-lived agenda, the same way it was in the 1970's and the 15:26:22.0 1980's? we look at the charts and see what we were investing in clean energy technologies in the 1970's and 1980's it was considerably higher in the 1980's and 1990's and early 2000 15:26:37.2 but i submit the things have changed. the drivers today are the economic drivers of our time but today when we look about the energy issues we face in our world, it's not just about the volatility of the energy markets that we see around the world and 15:26:53.1 here in the united states. there are two other drivers that are equally as important. the first of those drivers has to be our national security. when you think about the fact that today we are importing about 60% of our oil from foreign country, in the next ten 15:27:09.7 to 15 years if projections condition the way they are and growth continues the way it is expected to continue we will be importing 70% of our oil from foreign countries. if that occurs, mr. president, we will continue to compromise 15:27:23.8 the foreign policy and the national security of this nation in a manner that none of us should ever allow to happen. the fact is, it would be a dereliction of this duty for this united states congress, this senate, and for this country to allow that to happen. 15:27:40.5 in the latest skirmish in israel and lebanon, when asked the question about where that money was coming from that was funding the militia group of hezbollah in the firing of 10,000 rockets into the northern area of 15:28:00.5 israel, when asked where the money comes from to fund the 10,000 members of the militia group called hezbollah, mr. president, we do not need to look very far for the answer to that question. 15:28:13.7 you and i know, you as the presiding officer, well aware of the security issues in our country, know very well at the end of the day, that money that is creating and funding the terrorist groups in places like lebanon, is the money that is coming from oil. it's coming from oil that we are paying $60 and $70 a barrel for 15:28:33.0 today. so, the very national security of our country requires us, it demands of us, and we can do for less than to move forward with an agenda that grasps the imperative of energy independence in our world. and that energy independence 15:28:48.8 will come about with great opportunities as we look at clean energy future for america. we will be able to derive jobs and create the kind of national and economic security that we need here in the united states of america. the final driver, mr. president, is the issue of global warming. 15:29:06.3 i think the debate is over about whether or not global warming is, in fact, an issue that needs to be confronted here in the united states of america. the debate that was being held several years ago -- i imagine that most people here in the united states of america today 15:29:20.5 are saying, it is important for us to confront this issue. in fact, as we are opening up this day in the united states senate and on the floor, senator bingaman and senator domenici are holding a hearing with the members of the european union on 15:29:35.8 the issue of global warming. so, mr. president, things have changed. things have changed from the 1970's and the 1988's, when america slept and the issue was 15:29:53.2 just the volatility of the markets. today, those drivers are the drivers of national security. we cannot afford to compromise 15:30:01.5 our national security by continuing to be overdependent, to have the addiction on foreign oil that we currently have. mr. president, we cannot afford to ignore the issue of global warming which threatens the 15:30:15.0 future of civilization.x how wep solutions that bring us to a positive movement forward on those issues is very, very important for this country. let me finally submit, 15:30:31.8 mr. president, on this issue, that i believe on the issue of energy, this is an issue that can bring america together. you know, to be sure, the last six years have seen a very divided america on many issues, including the issue of iraq. i would submit, mr. president, that on the issue of energy that 15:30:45.7 we can bring together democrats and republicans, progressives and conservatives much as the energy future's coalition has done, much as they have done in working with all of us as we've drafted legislation that we call "set america free." 15:31:03.7 and it is my hope that by the time this united states senate finishes this year, that before we end up the august recess that we'll have legislation that is bipartisan in nature that will move us forward with a whole new energy future for america and that energy future will be one 15:31:21.2 that includes renewable technologies, that goes after the low hanging fruit of energy efficiency and that addresses the issue as well of global warming for our country. 15:31:35.1 mr. president, i yield the floor. and i would note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: without objection. the clerk will call the roll. 15:31:54.3 quorum call: quorum call: mr. salazar: mr. president? 15:32:14.6 the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. salazar: i would ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. salazar: mr. president, i would ask unanimous consent that my longer presentation which was a part of a speech that i gave at the energy summit that we had 15:32:31.2 in colorado on saturday be included as part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. salazar: mr. president, i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will -- without objection, the clerk will call the roll. 15:32:46.0 quorum call: quorum call: 15:33:05.5 quorum call: 15:39:31.3 a senator: madam president? 15:39:32.9 the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia is recognized. mr. byrd: madam president, i ask unanimous consent that further proceedings under the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: , without objection, so ordered. under the previous order, the senate will proceed to the 15:39:47.1 consideration of h.r. 1591, which the clerk will report. the clerk: calendar number 84, h.r. 1591, an act to make emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending september 30, 2001, and for other purposes. 15:40:05.1 mr. byrd: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia is recognized. mr. byrd: i send an amendment to the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: the senator from west 15:40:24.1 virginia, mr. byrd, proposes an amendment numbered 641. strike all after the enacting clause and insert the following: that the following sums are appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated for the fiscal year 15:40:41.3 ending september 30, 2007, and for other purposes, namely, title 1 -- mr. byrd: madam president, i ask unanimous consent that further reading of the amendment be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. byrd: madam president? 15:40:59.4 the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia. mr. byrd: today we take up a supplemental bill to fund our troops in the field to send a 15:41:22.0 strong message about the direction of the war in iraq, to improve the veterans' and defense health care systems, to 15:41:30.2 help the victims of hurricane katrina rebuild, to secure the homeland, and to provide emergency relief to farmers impacted by major drought and 15:41:48.4 freezes. we're now in the fifth year, the fifth year, madam president, of the war, a terrible war. 15:42:03.8 i was against it. i voted against it. we're there. we're now in the fifth year of the war in iraq. the debate about the war has deteriorated into a series of 15:42:21.3 buzzwords. preemptive war, mission accomplished, exaggerated intelligence, inadequate body 15:42:38.9 armor, and surges and on and on. our job in the senate is not to look backwards, but to look forward. 15:42:55.7 the constitution, the constitution clearly, clearly gives the congress the power, yes, it does, clearly gives the 15:43:11.2 congress -- that's us -- the power to decide when this nation should go to war and it gives congress the power of the purse, the power of the purse, money, 15:43:35.0 money. money talks. funding such conflicts is the responsibility of the senate 15:43:46.0 appropriations committee. the senate appropriations committee, the buck stops here and don't you ever forget it. the senate appropriations committee. because of that power over the purse, it is certainly our duty, 15:44:08.5 our duty, our duty to debate the future of the war in iraq. the bill before the senate includes a provision that would 15:44:17.7 give the war a new direction. a new direction. and it points the way out -- out 15:44:31.3 -- out of the civil war in iraq. there's no restriction on funding for the troops, no, no restriction on funding for the 15:44:45.6 troops. we fully fund the needs of the troops. we do that, yes. in fact, the bill provides more funds than the president requested for the department of defense, with an increase 15:45:04.1 of $1.3 billion, b-i-l-l-i-o-n, $1.3 billion for the defense health care system, $1 billion for equipping the guard and reserve, 15:45:17.2 and $1.1 billion for military housing. the language in the billionaire rose the mission of our -- in the bill narrows the mission of our troops in iraq, keeps 15:45:30.7 pressure on the iraqi government to meet benchmarks on national reconciliation, requires the president -- yes, hear me now -- requires the president to send congress a phased redeployment plan.@ 15:45:50.0 it sets a goal for the redeployment of most of the u.s. troops from iraq by march 31, 2008. 15:46:05.5 this country was not attacked by iraq on 9/11. there were not a single iraqi -- not one, not one iraqi involved in the devastation in new york, 15:46:24.1 washington, and pennsylvania on that fateful day. according to our own government, the perpetrators of 9/11 -- bin laden and his organization -- 15:46:41.3 are alive today and rebuilding in afghanistan and pakistan at this moment as i speak, so help me god. language in this bill would 15:46:58.1 allow the president to refocus our military and our intelligence on the terrorists, the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. during the debate on this bill, 15:47:24.7 assertions will be made, yes, that it is inappropriate to add to this bill funding to meet domestic needs. hmmm... 15:47:40.5 in fact, the white house has claimed that efforts to add funding for our veterans for katrina victims and for homeland security will hold hostage the funds for the troops. 15:47:57.2 what nonsense! nonsense. hear me! nonsense. just more buzzwords. 15:48:17.4 in fact, funding for the war is not the only critical need worthy of supplemental funding this year. the war must not obliterate every other concern. 15:48:34.4 last week the director of the office of management and budget, rob portman, said the president would veto the bill if the iraq language and additional spending remain in the bill. 15:48:48.5 he said, we're disappointed the senate is allowing politics -- ha, humbug -- to interfere with getting needed resources to our troops. 15:49:03.7 politics? politics. i ask the senate -- hear me now -- i ask the senate, is it politics to ensure that the v.a. has a health care system that can provide first-rate care for 15:49:21.0 the wounded? is it? 15:49:24.4 no. it is a moral imperative. yes, a moral imperative. is it politics to provide critical resources to help the gulf region rebuild after 15:49:42.8 hurricane katrina? is it? is it politics? no. it is not politics. it is compassion, compassion, compassion. 15:50:01.5 is it politics to help rural america recover from drought and freeze? is it? no. it is common sense. 15:50:16.9 common sense. you hear me? common sense. common sense. and good economics. this bill meets some of the most urgent needs of our country. 15:50:36.2 it includes $1.7 billion to ensure that the v.a. has the resources it needs to help the brave men and women wounded in the war. 15:50:52.1 the v.a. needs resources in order to provide first-rate care to profoundly wounded, terribly wounded, horribly wounded soldiers. 15:51:07.2 we are morally bound -- morally bound -- hear me! yes, we're morally bound, aren't we? morally bound to care for our 15:51:25.4 wounded troops. this is not politics. no. shame, this is not politics. it is common decency. this bill also includes $3.3 billion above the 15:51:41.2 administration's request for the victims of hurricanes katrina, rita, and wilma. the president proposes to pay 15:51:55.2 for the increased costs of repairing the existing levees in louisiana by cutting the funding that congress provided to improve the capacity of the levees to protect new orleans from future hurricanes. shame! 15:52:12.2 shame. that makes no, no sense. no sense. the bill provides new resources to repair the levees. we will not follow a nonsensical strategy of repairing the 15:52:29.4 existing levee system that failed. no. during katrina by cutting funding -- no. funding already appropriated for actual improvements to the levee as many as. we will not. we also include funding for 15:52:46.3 health and education, for law enforcement, and for transit as many as in the gulf region to help rebuild, to bring people back to work and bring the region back to life. not politics -- not politics, 15:53:04.8 just plain old common sense. the bill includes $4.2 billion for agricultural disaster relief. 15:53:15.3 the agriculture economy has been hit by drought and freezes. in 2006, 69% of all counties in the united states were declared primary or contiguous disaster 15:53:32.4 areas. 14 states had 100% of their counties declared disaster areas by the department of agriculture. i commend senator dorgan and senator feinstein and senator 15:53:52.7 bond for their hard work on this disaster package. i ask unanimous consent that a letter from california governor 15:54:09.0 arnold schwarzenegger requesting agriculture disaster assistance be made a part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. byrd: providing agriculture disaster real estate leave is not politics -- relief 15:54:26.3 is not politics. no. it is good policy. the bill -- the bill that is before the senate also includes $2 billion for securing the 15:54:40.6 homeland. in the state of the union, the president said, the evil that inspired and rejoiced in 9/11 is still at work in the world. 15:54:59.7 and so long as that is the case, america is still a nation at war. 15:55:12.8 despite hundreds of innocent people being killed in train bombings in london, madrid, moscow, tokyo, and mumbai, india, and despite the aviation 15:55:36.0 sector remaining a high terrorist threat level since august, the president did not request one extra dime -- not one thin dime -- in the 15:55:55.6 supplemental for securing the homeland. this bill includes funding for purchasing explosives, detection as many as for our airports -- 15:56:15.2 detection systems for our airports, for grants to help secure our rail and transit systems, and for securing our 15:56:29.1 ports and borders. the money is needed now. for five and a half years since 15:56:52.7 the attack on 9/11, this administration has raised fears of another terrorist attack. the administration has's announced -- has announced a high or orange threat level for 15:57:10.2 possible terrorist attacks on eight different occasions. in every state of the union address, the president has stoked the fires of fear. periodically the attorney 15:57:30.8 general, the secretary of homeland security or the f.b.i. director helped to fan those flames. and yet the president consistently sends to congress budgets for homeland security 15:57:45.5 that do not reflect this perceived threat. rather than spreading fear -- rather than spreading fear, the 15:58:04.8 administration should be reducing vulnerabilities by doing everything it can to deter another attack, providing funding to secure the homeland 15:58:22.0 is not politics. it is an essential duty. the president's rob peter to pay 15:58:46.9 paul approach to funding domestic agencies has real, real and demonstrably severe consequences. the failed response to hurricane katrina proved that. 15:59:02.6 the inability to provide first-class health care to our wounded veterans proved that. we will never learn. 15:59:21.9 another important aspect of this bill is in the oversight and accountability that it mandates. for far too long, far too long, 15:59:36.5 madam president, for far too long, oversight has been a lost cause. yes, around this congress, tough 15:59:48.5 questions are ditched in favor of softball. honest answers are buried in political spin -- s-p-i-n. this legislation says, no more.

Mid of Moore and friend looking at her destroyed home  STORYLINE:  Officials in rural Mississippi were trying to finalise the death toll and assess the damage on Sunday after a tornado tore across the state on Saturday.  At least six counties were hit and 10 people killed.  Dozens more were injured and hundreds of homes damaged.  The stories told by survivors on Sunday showed how much higher the toll could have been.  After an aerial tour of the damage, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour described the scene in Yazoo County, where he grew up, as "utter obliteration.''  Barbour heard first hand from some survivors.  In Yazoo County, home to around 28-thousand, all that remained of Sullivan's Crossroads Grocery was a pile of rubble and some jars of pickled eggs and pigs' feet.  But owner Ron Sullivan, his wife and four other people managed to ride out the storm and suffered only some cuts and bruises.  Sullivan had been on the phone, describing the weather conditions to a meteorologist, when the line went dead and the twister hit, tearing the wooden roof off the store and hurling Sullivan into a brickwork wall.  A steel fuel storage tank, about 10 feet long, was uprooted by the twister and rolled into the store, coming to rest against a freezer.  Another man spoke of how he was forced to take refuge under a communion table as his church was blown to pieces around him.  Hundreds of homes were damaged in the storm, which carved a path of devastation from the Louisiana line to east-central Mississippi, and at least three dozen people were hurt.  Tornadoes also were reported in Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama. The storm system tracked northeastwards, downing trees in northwest Georgia early on Sunday before moving offshore.  Mississippi's Choctaw County suffered the highest confirmed deaths: five, including a baby and two other children.  On Sunday, many people were focused on cleanup, with the buzz of chainsaws and tractors rumbling across the region.  Rescuers spread out to find anyone who might still be trapped, while survivors returned to demolished homes to salvage what they could and bulldoze the rubble.  Hundreds were still without power, and officials said some may be without power until Tuesday or even Wednesday.  Sharon Moore and daughter Albreshauna surveyed their ruined home in tears. Moore, a single mother with three children, had been participating in a programme to move economically disadvantaged families into new homes.  After spending 500 hours herself working on the house in the past year, she was preparing to move in next weekend.  All that changed after Saturday's tornado tore the roof off their home and left it in a neighbour's yard.  At least four people were killed in Yazoo County, and one died in neighbouring Holmes County.  Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said at least three dozen people were hurt and nearly 200 homes damaged in Attala, Holmes, Monroe and Warren Counties.  Officials were still working to assess the total damage in Choctaw and Yazoo counties.  About 40 National Guard soldiers patrolled Yazoo City, some in Humvees and others in a Blackhawk helicopter on Sunday.  Dozens of state troopers and other law enforcement officers also came from far-flung parts of the state to help.  Meteorologists said it was too soon to tell whether a single long-lasting tornado, or multiple shorter ones, carved the path of destruction from northeastern Louisiana to east-central Mississippi.  ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Miners' families walking out after memorial service (++overlaid with music at source++)  STORYLINE:  US President Barack Obama paid tribute on Sunday to the coal miners who died in a West Virginia mine accident earlier this month, the worst mining accident in a generation.  He said they had lived and died pursuing the American Dream.  Speaking at a memorial service in Beckley, Obama told the miners' families that the nation would honour the men's memories by improving safety in the mines.  "How can we fail them?" Obama asked.  "How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them?" he added.  With the families sitting near him, and the executive from the Massey Energy Company which runs the mine, sitting near the rear of the hall, Obama spoke broadly about the 29 workers killed in the explosion.  "Most days they would emerge, sweaty, dirty, dusted from coal," Obama said. "Most days they'd come home. But not that day."  Investigators have detected high levels of two potentially explosive gases inside the mine, and it could be a month before investigators can get inside to determine what caused the blast on 5 April, 2010 at the Upper Big Branch mine.  Federal regulators have identified highly explosive methane gas, coal dust or a mixture of the two as the likely cause of the blast, but the ignition source is unknown.  The explosion will be the subject of a Senate hearing on Tuesday, with the nation's top mine safety official expected to testify.  Obama has ordered a broad review of coal mines with poor safety records and urged federal officials to strengthen laws which he previously described as "so riddled with loopholes that they allow unsafe conditions to continue."  Vice President Joe Biden, speaking before Obama at the service, called miners "the spine of this nation" and "roughneck angels."  He said the time would come to account for the safety conditions that led to the disaster.  Obama linked the West Virginia deaths with the challenges Americans faced from coast to coast in a moribund economy.  Before the sombre memorial service, Obama and Biden met privately with the miners' families.  At the service a row of 29 white crosses fronted the main stage.  Behind the crosses were photos of the miners, and to the side of the stage stood a large wreath with 29 white roses, with two yellow roses in recognition of two injured miners.  Gayle Manchin, wife of the state governor, read out the miners' names, as a member from each family walked up and placed a miner's helmet on a corresponding cross.  During the service, the lights dimmed and one by one, each helmet-mounted lamp was lit in the darkness.  Governor Joe Manchin also promised action to improve mine safety, making a pledge to the families that their loved ones "would not die in vain."  ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Pan right of Ladies in White surrounded by chanting crowd  STORYLINE  Cuba held elections to fill municipal assemblies across the island on Sunday in a vote the communist government says belies criticism in Washington and Europe that Fidel Castro's half-century old revolution is not democratic.  Almost all of Cuba's 8.4 (m) million eligible voters were expected to turn out for the vote - which will choose 15,000 people to fill seats in 169 municipal assemblies.  Those elected won't be dealing with big geopolitical issues such as how to thaw frozen relations with the United States, or what measures must be taken to revitalise a near-dormant economy. Instead, they will be the first point of contact most Cubans have with their government, the person to see if electricity service is spotty or if the neighbours are making too much noise.  The municipal assemblies also have some role in electing those who will fill more important bodies including the regional assemblies and the national parliament, which in turn decides who will serve on the Council of State, Cuba's supreme governing body.  As president, Raul Castro is head of the Council of State. His brother Fidel, who stepped down permanently in 2008 after an undisclosed illness, remains leader of the Communist Party.  Cuba's leaders have charged that the international news media ignore the local voting as part of a global campaign to discredit the revolution. They say their system is, in fact, the most democratic in the world because it requires participation on a block-by-block level and is not influenced by money.  Critics say the elections are window-dressing since all real power is concentrated in the hands of the Castros and an aging cadre of revolutionaries who have been with them since they overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959.  Raul Castro cast his ballot in Havana's Vedado neighbourhood. It was not clear whether Fidel would also venture out to a polling station. In 2007, the last time elections were held, a ballot box was brought to the ailing revolutionary so that he could vote.   Fidel, 83, has looked strong and alert in recent video released by the government, but he has not been seen in public in nearly four years.  Candidates in Sunday's vote are nominated by a show of hands at gatherings organised by the local government. Committees for the Defence of the Revolution - or CDRs - neighbourhood watch groups charged with keeping close tabs on their areas and with reporting seditious activity, help get people out to the gatherings.  While candidates do not need to be members of the Communist Party, the vast majority are in good standing with local authorities. The nomination process is done by a show of hands, but a committee must approve each candidate in order for their names to get on the ballot.  Campaigning is outlawed in Cuba, so voters learn about the candidates based either on word of mouth in the community or through a resume and photograph pasted onto the walls of voting centres.  As in other countries, each voter places a check mark by the name of the candidate they want, and the balloting is secret. While participation is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged. Cubans 16 years of age or older can vote, and even younger schoolchildren play a role. Each ballot box is "guarded" by two children dressed in their school uniforms. In 2007, the last time municipal elections were held, turnout topped 95 percent.  Results were expected on Monday. A run-off to decide elections in which no candidate received at least 50 percent of the vote will be held on May 2.  Meanwhile, a small group of carefully choreographed government supporters shouted down an even smaller contingent of wives and mothers of jailed opposition activists, preventing their traditional march for the third straight week in another ugly confrontation that may be becoming a Cuban weekend tradition.  After seven years of peaceful protests following Mass in Havana's upscale Miramar neighbourhood, Cuba has begun blocking the "Ladies in White" from marching since the group never obtained written permission to do so.  Officials first broke up their demonstration on April 11, with a pro-government mob and buses that eventually gave the women a ride home.  The following Sunday, counter-demonstrators surrounded the ?Women in White,? refused to let them march and shouted insults in an hourslong standoff that ended with the women again being driven home.  This time, six members - down from nine last week - left the Santa Rita de Casia Church and crossed swank Fifth Avenue to hold their demonstration on a sidewalk that runs down the middle of the boulevard.  A state agent in a Che Guevara T-shirt said they couldn't march and Laura Pollan, one of the group's founders, tried to respond.  But the agent turned and walked away and that cued two waiting groups of about 50 counter-protesters each who came up the sidewalk from both directions hoisting large Cuban flags.  The women marched until they ran into one group, then retraced their steps until meeting the other.  They shouted "Freedom!" and held skyward the pink gladiolas they always carry.  The counter- protesters surrounded them and shouted "Fidel! Fidel!"  Muscular state security agents with earpieces wedged themselves in between the duelling protests to prevent violence.  Organisers in plainclothes moved through the counter-demonstrators suggesting chants.  The women moved to a nearby park, where they were surrounded and remained for more than two hours.  Members of the ?Women in White? are relatives of 75 opposition activists arrested in a 2003 crackdown on dissent, but Cuba claims they are agents of Washington out to destabilise government.  Also on Sunday, Ricardo Alarcon, head of Cuba's parliament, became the first top official to respond to an assertion by US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, that Fidel and Raul Castro don't want Washington's 48-year embargo lifted because they would no longer be able to blame America for their country's problems.  "Mrs. Clinton is a very intelligent woman and I don't want to be rude with her," Alarcon said. "If she really believes the continuation of the embargo is in the benefit of our government, it's very simple for her to ask Congress to lift the embargo."  He also suggested Washington suspend its trade restrictions for one year to see what happens.  ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

The TV report Sunday said five ground-to-sea and sea-to-sea missiles were simultaneously fired.  It did not elaborate on the specifications of the missiles or say whether they are new.  However, the semiofficial Fars news agency said on Saturday that four types of short-range missiles would be launched on Sunday in the war games, including Nasr 1, a short-range cruise capable of destroying targets up to 3,000 tons in size.  Iran's Revolutionary Guard began the war games on Thursday, an annual show of military strength that often leads to heightened tension in the region. ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

End of news conference  STORYLINE  Greece's finance minister expressed confidence on Sunday that European governments and the International Monetary Fund soon would provide (b) billions of US dollars in emergency aid so his debt-burdened nation could make a large repayment on time in May.  George Papaconstantinou said that Greece had no intention of defaulting on its debt obligations by repaying creditors less than what they are owed.  After weekend talks at the International Monetary Fund's headquarters blocks from the White House, he said he expected the IMF's executive board in early May to approve Greece's request for about 13.4 (b) billion US dollars in loans.  The IMF's managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, said he was optimistic that "we will conclude discussions in time to meet Greece's needs."  The Greek government, which is putting in place austerity measures, faces a debt payment of 11.3 (b) billion US dollars on May 19.  "We are all aware of the seriousness of the situation and the courageous efforts being made by the Greek people," Strauss-Kahn said in a statement.  In addition to the 13.4 (b) billion from the IMF, Greece is hoping to obtain loans of about 40 (b) billion US dollars from a group of 16 European countries that use the euro.  Strauss-Kahn said everyone involved in trying to help Greece sees "the need for speed," given the severity of the debt crisis.  Greece's woes weighed heavily on financial leaders as they wrapped up the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank with a pledge to address the risks facing the global economic recovery.  The bank's steering committee discussed how to increase support to cushion the world's poorest countries from a recession that appears to be ending, even though serious threats such as high government debt and unemployment remain.  Crippled by soaring borrowing costs, Greece on Friday made a formal request for the aid. Prime Minister George Papandreou declared in a televised address that his country's economy was a "sinking ship."  European and IMF officials have made clear that their support will carry a high price: putting Greece's fiscal house in order. Greece has already agreed to begin an austerity program that cuts civil servants' pay, freezes pensions and raises taxes. But the country faces years of painful cutbacks and doubts about its long-term finances.  The austerity programme has already generated massive street protests and labour strikes in Greece.  Meanwhile the World Bank has agreed to dramatically increase the voting power of China, lifting it to the No. 3 spot in the 186-nation lending organisaton.  World Bank President Robert Zoellick said that the decision was made on Sunday by the organisation's policy-setting Development Committee.  The Committee also agreed to increase raise extra capital.  Briefing reporters, Zoellick welcomed the developments by saying, "today was a very good day for multilateralism."  The United States will retain the No. 1 spot in terms of voting power followed by Japan.  Before the realignment, China had ranked below a number of European countries. It has been pushing for a bigger say in international organisations to reflect its growing importance in the global economy.  ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Two men talking, tilt down to child eating ice cream 23. Miniature train passing by  STORYLINE  Greece's finance minister said on Sunday he was confident that his country would be able to secure (b) billions of dollars in emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund and European countries - but many Greeks are worried about what the consequences of the borrowing will be for them, according to a Sky News report.  Many Greeks are struggling with the effects of the country's crippling debt crisis.  The government has already implemented painful cuts to try to improve the national finances.  But it is likely the IMF and the euro-zone governments will require even tougher measures in return for assistance, which many Greeks are worried could lead to further public sector job losses, Sky said.  In central Athens on Sunday, many people said the effects of the crisis could be felt across the whole economy.  Street artist Sava Relu-Ionel, who moved to Greece from his native Romania in 2001, said his income had shrunk dramatically.  Life now was "incomparable" to how it was before, he said.  Other people complained that the government's request for aid had come too late.  According to a poll published on Saturday in the weekly Proto Thema newspaper, more than 37 percent of Greeks believed the government, led by Prime Minister George Papandreou, had been too slow in responding to the crisis.  Greece's government was forced to formally request assistance from other European nations and the IMF on Friday, after months of saying it would be able to weather the debt crisis using its own resources.  Greece is now hoping to obtain emergency loans of about 40 (b) billion US dollars from the group of 16 European countries which, like Greece, use the euro as a common currency, and an additional 13.4 (b) billion US dollars from the IMF.  Many public sector workers are worried that the emergency aid will have tough consequences for them.  Teacher Anna Skoura was taking part in a protest outside the parliament building in Athens on Sunday.  She blamed government corruption for the debt crisis but said ordinary people would end up paying for it.  "I think that we all have to pay things that we're not responsible about. People in Greece haven't created the crisis," she said.  In Washington on Sunday, Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said he had no doubts that his country would be able to secure the emergency aid, and warned market speculators betting against Greece would "lose their shirts."  Papaconstantinou told reporters that he expected the IMF board would approve its portion of the loan support within the first 10 days of May and that approval would be in time to meet a large payment of 11.3 (b) billion US dollars on Greek bonds due on May 19.  He said that he expected the support from the IMF and the European governments to be provided at the same time, but said if some European parliaments were delayed in approving their contributions, the IMF support could be used to obtain bridge financing from other sources.  ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Wide of crowd outside bullfighting ring, ambulance driving away  STORYLINE  One of Spain's top matadors was seriously injured in Mexico when a 1,100-pound (500-kilogram) bull gored him in the groin and hoisted him into the air, causing major blood loss, his manager said on Sunday.  Jose Tomas received a transfusion of eight litres (17 pints) of blood after being gored on Saturday by a beast named Navegante in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes.  The bull's horn penetrated 4 inches (10 centimetres) into Tomas' groin and punctured a vein and an artery, Tomas' manager told Spanish radio.  Tomas, one of Spain's most popular matadors, has a relatively rare blood type; A- , and bled so profusely that bullring officials appealed over the arena loudspeakers for compatible donors to come forward for transfusions, Boix said.  Bullring doctors operated on the 34-year-old Tomas immediately to stabilise him, and he underwent more surgery later at a hospital for more than three hours.  Television footage broadcast by Aguascalientes TV showed Tomas working the animal with his cape, when the bull made a quick turn towards him and caught him in the groin, lifting him into the air for a few seconds and shaking its head with Tomas dangling from its left horn.  Once on the ground, Tomas rolled away and held his hands up as if to say he was OK, but a large, dark red stain was already spreading through his glittering gold suit.  The newspaper El Pais said Tomas' injury was so serious that the bullring doctors who first operated on him did not even take time to anesthetise him.  Tomas is known for a daring bullfighting style in which he gets particularly close to the bull.  His full name is Jose Tomas Roman Martin, but he goes by just Jose Tomas.  In Spain, he has been something of an enigma: in 2002, at the peak of his career, Tomas suddenly retired without saying why.  Tomas returned to the ring in 2007 to tremendous fanfare - he told one interviewer that "living without bullfighting is not living."  Since then he has suffered a number of serious gorings in Spain.  ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Wide of blue stork walking in field  STORYLINE  The village of Biegen in Germany has become home to a rare specimen which is ruffling feathers: a stork with a striking blue plumage.  How the normally white bird got its unusual colouring isn't certain, although experts believe the most likely explanation is that the stork took a bath in some blue paint or coloured water. Storks migrate long distances and often rest in rubbish dumps where it is thought this individual may have picked up its distinctive hue.  Tourists have travelled from around Germany to catch a glimpse of the animal.  "It is the first blue stork in my life," said one visitor from Berlin.  Local restaurant owner Martin Pfeiffer is selling postcards of the stork and its white mate and he says the bird has been good for business generally.  "It became an attraction in Biegen. It is good for the economy, for the small economy of Biegen, starting with the small carpentry, to the cafes and restaurants," Pfeiffer said. ===============  Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
