and of the leader of north korea in recent months it's also an indication of the growing warmth in the relationship between china and the u.s. in the past china has a deal of houston not fully implementing the sanctions that had been passed against north korea in the u.n. security council and indeed these sanctions that had been unilaterally imposed by the united states but in recent months there has been a significant policy shift china has been implementing these sanctions as shown by the fact that it's instructed its banks to no longer do business with north korea it is restricting the import of oil into north korea so this is something very significant in terms of the u.s. stated policy of getting china to bring greater pressure to bear on north korea in an attempt to resolve this crisis but also what is happening is that it does not only pertain to north korea the relationship between the u.s. and china is growing stronger through this ongoing crisis in wider areas such as

this is the day i've been dating for twenty five years the last five years i've been working on this for. all i have thought everything i've been in last five years mostly was related to this film. not not was a thought i think that. it's very important that.

everybody thinks i'm a documentary filmmaker and very often i get to hear. the news just. six days the big. if i prove that. i'm set. but i. did i thought of network that. network mccurry. i don't.

want to. think it's going to happen much. just that you can't control those things.

although i would have liked the lights.

that you're. bringing right. here. the morning martin. good morning martin. why don't nobody do we have plastic in the village. what is on this week you can buy this is that. some of the plastic on clothes so obviously we can't show it so we have to change it so the sorry. i just proved it is not here for extras

so it's something that changes. this is the mood of the bed i'm glad she is preparing for some of this competition with his team hoping to see in spite of them what he did and that is one big scene. which we are learning to police wouldn't. you think was by the plan here good. i don't know i don't know but i did you know that the offender you know i don't know you know. what i thought of that. like hey i don't. mind that it can be one take what i said.

i don't but it was. soft and. but. ok. yeah. the. winning. hand would help.

me get more. help. it's a little. like you don't see what you mean it's what you live for the money the money the limited heat what the answer grow couldn't you

kind of thing. young would say you're thinking they're going to come when i said i've. got i am not. going. to speak you are doing it because. you know that did not want to. do when i was younger that's a big. dumb got it up uncle ago i got you. back here. because it was like you know they're not going to like hearing. the evil that's. going whatever now you. go over what had. been done in the front of the book. so you can see it.

and in this all. of this thing if everything is all right. i am. not going to hear. that. but. was going to be superman it. was.

ok sure i know what the about it but i think it lights up on me that. we're going to skip i think you. think you have to do it which and it was the mother made a lot of the film. but it didn't. believe. in life. problematic it ended up in the night that many of the money we heard about to little. stone was about no one at the most but not as. practical and on till it was. just trying.

to do the same to waterloo in the. latest. was was. actually made and i'm jama. industry say who you look at the see the hot pawnees on my naming situations what was the situation song called the sun is out and that might not have to actually. do is that we know how hard it was something i needed a mother so jokey and matt bomb us in the the. do we

want to. feel they. want you to treat you might. want to you treat. was. the site you would just have. the date that date was free. you don't know they'll be glad to have made. us all know already are such going to get the want to tell. you.

know. this is what you will. run. basically be we're going to the last because the so you don't want to get in the same situation it has to be done it would have to reassure to some of the people to me to come back and so i didn't think anybody need to hear so that you can overcome whatever it. was. you. who i am maybe not as if i just didn't say yes i'm not a good four to five hours of you soon yesterday so i think that's in a head she's great she's going to take her time and make us do things. that most of

her down i do yet eat i don't think i thought of it i was kind of hoping with what happened was it on the phone or where her son said that the lyrics are lip sync nothing actually happened so we have let it go something like this update just as he used some slang to prepare the music. that. you know i think the radio was was a little bit about america and the. man i'm about to get over john yeah yeah. that was the joke yes that nobody would ever do it and it was one look it's like when i was like either yes or no.
