massive drug production will stop unless there is a clear cut the n.r.a. in washington i'm going to check on. the backs first hand accounts of one of the second world wars most brutal episodes. you know i love these rare moments where action of something totally sounds positive to share with you the f.d.a. is working to ban partially hydrogenated oils which are the leading source of trance fats and foods and possibly the cause of up to twenty thousand heart attacks per year across the usa according to f.d.a. commissioner margaret hamburg as you know i would like the chemicals in my food kept to a minimum but the thing is the people at the f.d.a. are surely aware of all the hormones in beef and jim o's being produced why does this band have such a very narrow narrow focus in fact when you look at all the things that americans
9:30 am
consume smoke use that to swear health some get the violent band hammer while others are completely tolerated if you ever talk to hardcore marijuana smoker they'll tell you but dude weed is better for you than beer and that's the legal man and they kind of have a point i think there is this is one of those rare instances where a balance position isn't really a good idea well the country could go the libertarian route and let it be everything be legal let people make their own choices or do what i think would be much much better actually really ban all the things that are destructive to our health both of these paths have positive and negative effects but they are a lot better than our current plan of ban some harmful things for some reason and allow other harmful things because well they lobby better but that's just my opinion. says the media leader so we leave the baby. bush and secure the. party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers

9:43 am
again. this spring is my last. in april all the people of leningrad went out to clean the city streets we were expecting an epidemic because the dead were everywhere and there was a roll sewage flowing past houses because the sewage system was not working. so they told everybody to go out and clean up the city and everybody did. that even those who could barely hold a tool in their hands went out to break up the ice is a little you. need. leningrad became so clean it was a real joy to see it. in may the trans started working again.
9:44 am
i will never forget this day i can't believe dad is gone. news of his death was too sad and. even today this morning we talked about him thinking he was alive remembering different things about him. we were happy that he looked relatively well. it turned out though that by then he was already gone. i cannot believe he's gone it can't be how i wanted to be a mistake it's hard it's terrible we didn't even say goodbye. a few days ago i broke my mare into pieces i was waiting for a disaster and my fears came true in the most horrible way. i cry all the time. there was nobody with it was buried in
9:45 am
a mass grave. this is obviously more for the latest because it's pink. women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them. this is the one that i want to go with them once again it's the feel of french. women are definitely the target of the gun lobby and you don't want to kill them not want to kill anybody would if somebody would you would piss with her. i'm noticing more and more if that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to own a gun to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on
9:46 am
9:47 am

9:48 am
the entire month of january february and march it was so cold thirty to forty degrees below should we could never even at the fire go out water would freeze instantly. we took the sleds over to but couldn't prospect we put little buckets on to the sleds that there was a hole in the ice close to the riverbank. although sometimes we went there to get water here throughout the trip it was easy to lose the buckets when we climbed back up the embankment but i give the water would splash over the rim of the buckets will be pulling though sleds was very difficult because the ground was completely frozen yellow or not but still kept going and taking those two buckets back home that night we drank that water and use it to wash there was nowhere else to get it on.
9:49 am
the bombing is not as bad as the surveys. i'm so then starvation has caused mom stomach to swell she's in the hospital. i will not see her again. the doctors say she won't survive. my dear mom i can't leave you i don't want to live without you i'm all alone. mommy. yeah along with the childless i spent new year's eve of nine hundred forty three alone it was very difficult. we had three separate apartments joined by a long corridor but all of them were empty because everyone had been evacuated so i was alone in the three apartments the stairwell you simply were boards e.l.o. as it was dark because we had no electricity. no electricity no water.

9:51 am

9:52 am
siege finally ended when we heard the noise from our soldiers guns we were so happy . the scenes took millions of lives. even now we know exactly how many. also when the blockade was over will people started sending in food from all over the country. i'm feeling better now i go to the elec center next to ministry to pick grass my make soup but it's a pity there are no nettles in leningrad they're quite tasty we have bread now the only thing that upsets me still is the bombing it's more frequent now. will we stay alive. i even want to play my guitar again i just wish the bombing of leningrad would stop. it on the chin i was really scared by the air. great sirens
9:53 am
isn't it that will lots of them but each of the anti aircraft guns fired planes were flying with them and there was a lot who are all over the sea or it was terrifying and the syrians carried on and one after the other i have no idea how our soldiers and officers cope with all that . when the bombing is over a look to the sky i don't know if god exists but i feel he's up there so. they say he doesn't exist but if you do please let my love come back down here to. look why i spent most of the seats on the rooftops. bus one like nobody told us to do that. but they were always dropping fire bombs though so we had no choice but to get up there to save our hosts fergus would go on.
