trump has behaved too erratic lee to see sensitive intelligence briefings. should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings. i think not. why not. because of his rabid behavior on related to the insurrection when you've called him an existential threat you've called him dangerous you called him reckless and i have who are believing what your worst fear if he continues to get these intelligence briefings. i'd rather not speculate outloud i just think of thirds no need for him to have the intelligence fusion what value was given him in and tells you what impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip and say something. i did castro is live for us in washington so no specific reason there from the president as to why donald trump should be denied that class that classified information tell us why former

presidents receive these briefings. mariyam 1st serves the matter of convention that this is a courtesy that the sitting president extends to every former living u.s. president and in fact this is a long tradition that has continued throughout the modern era and then there is the practical benefit potentially that these former presidents would be briefed and ready to provide advice to the sitting president were he or she to ask for it now in the case of this concern for former president trump to continue get to get these state secrets this is not something that biden is raising alone because if you look at a month ago the former deputy director of national intelligence who also was a chief briefer of president trouble up until 29 team she published a pub not ed saying that she thought also he should stop getting these intelligence

briefings once he leaves office because of 2 reasons that make him very different than all the other former presidents one is that he has an outspoken agenda that he wants to remain part of u.s. politics he's not willing to play that role. really silence that the other former presidents play the other concern being trams business interests and that he has loans given to him by foreign creditors which intelligence officials fear make him more vulnerable to potential bad actors heidi as a full president been denied this access before. no not in modern times so it biden doing this and he has every power to do so unilaterally that will be a 1st in u.s. history but his concerns also point to specifics in the relationship that then president trump had with the intelligence community there are at least 2 incidents

one in 2017 where he told russian diplomats highly classified information that was shared by these rallies and other time when he tweeted out a photo that he apparently took with his phone of a classified image shot by a u.s. satellite showing the destruction of iranian missile launch site that raised the alarm of many current and former intelligence officials but again this is something that biden can do immediately by himself and there is very little that former president trump can do to dissent. from washington thank you very much thanks heidi residents of the chinese city where code 1000 was 1st found have been remembering a doctor who died after trying to blow the whistle on the outbreak he when he was one of 8 people punished by local authorities for spreading rumors about the

illness as it was taking hold in one hand he then got the virus himself and died exactly a year ago is death sparked outrage but it also raised awareness of the virus and the chinese government's response to it. well in all the developments the british company astra zeneca says it believes its code vaccine could still be effective against the south african strain of the virus in spite of poor trial results early data from a small trial shows limited effectiveness against a mild cases of the south african variants but in a statement astra zeneca said it believes it's vaccine could predict protect against severe disease. now to libya the rival militaries rival groups of welcome the agreement of an interim government which could potentially help me unify the country talks between the east and west and based on these ended on friday with a roadmap to implement cease fire agreements malik train has more now from tripoli . libya's rival military committees have been meeting in the city of sorts for the
