a policy executive director exposing believes that donald trump will try to downplay the saudi arabia connection to the incident. trump will try to downplay the saudi role in this and that if it were yeah i think it's correct to say that if there was another country that president trump had not does not have such close ties with he would be strongly denouncing this as something he may even you could imagine trump seeking to cut off ties with the country if it was a different foreign national you could very well see him impulsively taking action to dramatically change relations so but the fact that one of his presidential is close supporters in congress matt gates is calling this terrorism could complicate things a bit for for the president. for the 2020 presidential election campaign spluttering to life no one in georgia of americans now say they are tired of the nation being

were just a few miles off today i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry and if that doesn't work just try to do it over and over and over again it's bound to catch on eventually if you can impeach proceedings now against this president i believe congress should take the step. you could reach in a bag and pull so many things out that are impeachable of this president you know why or where he has got to move as quickly as possible now these tactics certainly look like they're failing politics is about different ideas competing ideas here's where i draw the line if you start using non political means to achieve a political goal you've crossed the line of the d.n.c. has pushed the idea that your political views are now part of your fundamental identity instead of seeing the other side as someone that that you disagree with

2:18 am
none the less get the joke and find it funny and i think by taking out the sail by and with the outside society pretending that everyone who has an interaction with outside this thinks the same way i think we're slightly underestimating people's capacity to find humor in even the most black and dark situations do we make jokes about the holocaust should we i mean on the basis of what i just heard justified then the whole of course who rape or this list the number of things that could be using this logic talk funny. play than i and that the question is where the sight of the human lies now all the subjects that you just listed have been used as stock topics for comedy but comedians have to be very careful as to where they situate their humor it would not be funny to make a joke merely the expense of the victims of the holocaust or victims of rape but there are ways you can craft jokes in order to situate the humor away from people's

a british morning television show that's not selfies with the 2 hosts using. the television host said that the phone belonged to boris johnson leading to some to speculate whether the fact the prime minister uses a chinese model represents some sort of security vulnerability however johnson's a it's sad that the phone was borrowed from staffers and casually put into his very own pocket but whatever the truth is while they won't mind the extra free public sphere tool and they and other chinese firms are making quite great strides in western markets as for november this year huawei has become the 3rd most popular phone in the u.k. with almost 10 percent of the market share but the u.k. planning of course to leave the european union all attention will turn to securing as much investment from countries around the world as possible so well as far as jobs is move a big 5 g.
