communication across an entire continent we always knew there was going to be blowback for what happened in iraq the vacuum that was created by the illegal invasion by coalition forces in iraq and the fact that isis filled that vacuum and they're now looking to him i mean it was predictable it's nothing that we didn't expect. the states were running against white supremacy in the city of dallas resulted in tensions between the protesters and a group of activists calling for the protection of a confederates that she. was. a police moved in to protect a group of demonstrators in favor of the monument remaining both sides reported so however there's no reports of any shots being fired tensions are part of the fallout from last weekend's deadly violence in the u.s. town of charlottesville which was also centered around the removal of

3:23 am
is stars. and this is me in a quite nice outfit texas my skin and how these beauty and tech bloggers were chosen to speak to merkel at the height of her campaign we don't know but hot political topics were brought up and the chancellor was cool calm and collected in her answers for. are there any plans for electric cars. that we need to create infrastructure which will motivate people to use electric vehicles many people are currently afraid they will be able to get to work at home but won't be able to get back home and that's what is your favorite smiley the smiley with the small hard on that he was surprised that i computed longer was chosen to conduct an interview with you many have said that my subscribers are not smart enough to ask the right question and. it seems silly to me that some consider
