with written the house with these 2 men, just reverse the races, right. and if it was, if written houses black, imagine of these men were black and it was, we should remember even in this case in a reason, this is a trial right now is, i mean, the police didn't even follow up on the killing of all, but i'll break until some footage appeared on facebook 2 months later, and then they were pushed into into, into, into investigation because 3, what me, 3 whiteman, being involved with killing of a black bar. and they said that he was a robot. well, let your go. most most be the case. so, i mean, clearly this will just be confirmation. that justice isn't fair, but the prosecution, as themes are made a very good legal case against these men. un is warning. afghanistan's banking system is at risk of collapse if urgent and decisive action is not taken deposits, shrinking due to a cash liquidity crunch, and rise and unpaid loans interim government wants to freeze on his assets abroad to be lifted. so it's still hot. he's the director of operations to be national
