you go to the pubs are not. the problems you think you know what you think you sun's going to say let's just told you not who he said before going to pubs but if i had to go to a pub i go to a bar so the p.m.'s does go to plan for that one but then say use a bring up a storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong whereas others are saying well actually the situation has been blown up i mean larger than proportion what creates a need for want to go to the park after consulting with my father stanley johnson we are updating our coronavirus advice from now on anyone who developed symptoms must head straight for the pub. can we stop bringing stanley johnson on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate well we tried all day to find

5:15 am
in the general election so today i am suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to vice president joe biden in his quest to bring our country together and although i may not agree with the vice president on every issue i know that he has a good heart and he's motivated by his love for our country and the american people will surely after that announcement joe biden thank god for his support the congresswoman was thrust into the spotlight last year when hillary clinton accused of being a russian asset about rejected those allegations and sued the former secretary of state 380 politician entered the race for the democratic ticket in february last year and was the last woman standing we heard from professor of latin american studies danny sure who says the primaries are being weighed down by a climate of fear. that he will have to work the most are clearly affected in are afraid to go out in it well if they have children you know the elderly 'd at home they're doubly afraid so clearly be inside a or a primary is in crisis and then
5:16 am
a sense tells see garrard a woman of color who represents a colonist people hawaii thing a lot of people had high hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical incident perry was candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in commend joe biden miller is clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of u.s. foreign policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal health care for a u.s. foreign policy that is diametrically opposed to what trump and biting in it but i'm in the ruling class represent so this move is going to continue to fight notches in the electoral arena arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the u.s. . thinking when you thought the short break. the

a she is claims against our armed forces well under a new law there would be a 5 year limit from the date of an incident to bringing prosecution unless of course there is compelling new evidence and the 6 elim it for any civil case involving personal injury or death beyond that only exceptional circumstances can force new investigations. according to the british ministry of defense operations in iraq resulted in nearly a 1000 compensation claims against personnel for unlawful detention personal injury and death approximately $1400.00 judicial review claims were seeking investigations and compensation for a variety of alleged human rights violations human rights groups of expressed anger saying their legislation would place the military above the law and undermine existing international conventions peace campaigner and former soldier and kin says the bill is simply wrong. we should not arbitrarily place a statute of limitations on when people can see some justice in the event that

their loved ones were murdered and or tortured and or detained for years and but we are constantly learning more and more about how we think about the actions of our military in other countries and during different times and different troubles and privileges lawsuits are one thing but to put a moratorium on prosecution arbitrary to me does not seem to be the best a lot of the experiences but arens had a good time aground in iraq and afghanistan incredibly incredibly incredibly hunting incredibly troubling and they never should have been there to begin with. so far so late it hasn't stopped thousands of brazilians from protesting together their own griot president both in the rose underling of the corona virus outbreak.
