after new york's attorney general sued the an already over claims of corruption and misspending by top executives richard feldman is a former regional political director of the n.r.a. and he says the changes are unlikely to affect pending court cases in new york. moving into new york perhaps they're about 3030 years too late to have done that. clearly you don't file bankruptcy when you're in a good financial position. they're contradictions. but. perhaps they're hoping that if some positive news they're doing something that has no impact whatsoever on the lawsuits that have been filed against them it only effects proceeding forward once they're dissolved in new york state and they establish themselves in texas would with anything change and only prospect of like chapter 11 reorganization they may be some protections. in there

but again it it's not going to affect the ultimate outcome of what the court is seeking to do in new york state national rifle association probably is missing a fair amount of its own clout that doesn't translate of course to gun owners losing clout there are 7 or 10000000 new gun owners in the united states just in the last year that's a trim that's more new gun owners than there are members of the n.r.a. . but the n.r.a. has had financial difficulties and they've been embroiled in this internal fight for the last 2 or 3 years and it's clearly hurt their ability to function in publicly in the political and legislative arena dates have been announced full the 1st palestinian elections in more than 15 years present mahmoud abbas says the

all that data they wanted to let people know the bat's what the change was a math route every one hour and that led people to look into what actually is being shy and what's up and actually don't check quite what information it has been doing so for about 4 years so it's interesting that this week is when it was just. what half assed came out remember people dominated it it was actually earned by facebook that and facebook subsequently bought it and that's when things started to change and that's why i think for a long time prigs yes but said to be very cautious about and using whatsapp if you care about privacy because the terms and conditions change over time it's a private company and it's about to do you wouldn't want. the damage is that we were seeing people now migrating off into apps like telegrams signal which author will prevail. on and on and on whether there'll be a group who got near anything that might be stopping it is if we established that

you get one signal a terrible ad it's not as good as what's happened that might make people think well you know i i promise merit mation and. the other thing is the contact you have you any one who on that map you know other people have and it will be interesting to see how it plays out let's go to the front page of our website at the top story that is about the couple attack and tribes approval ratings. more in a moment. deservedly so romney a reminder of our top stories the world's biggest and most challenging credible restocks a nation campaign is getting underway in india on saturday 300000 people are set to receive jobs nationwide with health care workers given priority elizabeth product has more from new delhi common from the random already is expected to knowledge
