7:36 am
not requested mordachai yomtov's extradition and they had no other comment. jewish community watch says that's the problem. if american officials don't try to get accused pedophiles from israel then they escape justice and leave children at risk. u.s. department of justice declined to comment on specific cases, but praised the relationship with israel's law enforcement adding sex offenders have been successfully extra indicted in the past. so there are two things jcw says. better background checks on people moving to israel and more willingness from u.s. authorities to pursue the accused. >> seems a simple fix. why hasn't it be happening so far. >> j.c.w. say there's blame to go around. israeli authorities need to do background checks. sometimes a simple google search would pull up a person's

metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i was relentless first. relentless about learning the first song we ever danced to. about teaching him to put others first. about helping her raise her first child. and when i was first diagnosed, my choice was everyday verzenio. it's the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. it gives us more time without cancer progressing. verzenio is the only cdk4 & 6 inhibitor approved with hormonal therapy that can be taken every day for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an anti-diarrheal, and drink fluids.
8:58 am
before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. life-threatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. serious liver problems can happen. symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. my relentless reason: it's them. my choice with my doctor: it's verzenio. ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment.
