mr. johnson, what's your take on this move by the south african president? "i think it's a very, very positive move on the part of our government, many of us who have been part of the palestine solidarity movement for many decades, feel that it's long over due, we know that the israeli atrocities that it has committed since the 7th of october, are probably the worst in its history since 1948, but they've been similar atrocities, especially against" people of gaza, and of course in the west bank, you know, people have been randomly killed by the israeli regime, detentions, house demolitions, constant abuse of the palestinian people, so we feel that this is long overview, but nevertheless we very pleased that the government, along with others in the world like bolivia, venezuela, the kamors, jibuti and bangladesh have taken this very, very important. step of referring israel to the international criminal court. south african foreign minister naledi pandore receved a request to call the hamas leader ismail hany to discuss getting humanitarian aid to palestine.

there was no clear business as usual pattern of working with mr johnson.orking, and it was a low trust environment in terms of relationships between the civil service and the prime minister and his political team. sojust to pick up his political team. sojust to pick up on a few of those points. first of all, the once in a generation event that you refer to was brexit. yes. ., ,., event that you refer to was brexit. yes. ., , ., ., event that you refer to was brexit. yes. ., ., ,, , ., yes. no, some other witnesses have made the point _ yes. no, some other witnesses have made the point that _ yes. no, some other witnesses have made the point that at _ yes. no, some other witnesses have made the point that at least i yes. no, some other witnesses have made the point that at least in i yes. no, some other witnesses have made the point that at least in some j made the point that at least in some respects, the experience of brexit and in particular the preparations for a no—deal brexit were valuable as a precursor to the experience of the pandemic. first of all

mr. johnson would have staggered agency funding in a more piecemeal fashion. jeff in ohio, independent line. hi. caller: good morning, america. good morning, pedro. as far as the supreme court goes i do not think anybody deserves a lifetime appointment. the problem is washington are so corrupt that once you get in you become corrupt yourself over time. as far as the government shutdown, shut it down. these people are on a spending spree. we are $33 trillion in debt and they are still printing money. we are actually in two wars, whether we are supporting them or not. we are giving away our own military support to these countries to fight it out. why is the u.n. not over there? as far as ethics, there is no ethics on either side. whatever happened to the ethics department? can somebody turn a light on so we can lock these people up for breaking the constitution? what are we going to do? $33 trillion and we are going to kick the can down the road again. they do this every year. every year they do this. they kick it down the road. we need to hold these people resp

mr. johnson, are you running for president? mr. johnson, are you running for president?ident. he didn't respond this time, though he has left open the possibility in the past. >>> our final low to the exhausting process of feeding one very good dog with very expensive taste. at least he thinks he has expensive taste. meet blue, who will not eat his food until it has been prepared precisely to his gourmet liking. but here's the thing, his owner, daniel mcafee, actually isn't doing anything at all to the kibble. he's just going through the motions to satisfy blue. >> do it like this and add absolutely nothing. put absolutely none of this in here like this right here. put something in the microwave like that. >> he eats it right up but only after that song and dance where his owner emphasizes, again, he his owner emphasizes, again, he quote, adds absoluty nothel bladder leak underwear has one job. i just want to feel protected! especially for those sudden gush moments. when your keys are in the door and your body's like, “it's happening”! if you're worried about your protec

then johnson has to get richard russell. richard russell: mr. president, please. lyndon b. johnson: no, no, it's already done. it's been announced, hell. richard russell: you mean you've given the-- lyndon b. johnson: yes, sir. i made the announcement. it's already in the papers, and you on it. richard russell: well, i think you did wrong getting warren, and i know damn well you got wrong getting me, but-- lyndon b. johnson: no. richard russell: --we'll do the best we can. lyndon b. johnson: i think that's what you do. that's the kind of american both of you are. speaker: produced by nbc news, which is solely responsible for its content. speaker: the warren commission, appointed friday night, will i investigatete and make a reportrt on the mumurder. as yet, , it has saiaid nothig about t how it wilill proceed oror when. in thehe meantime,e, again, thti is investigating every lead it can find, and will turn its report over to president johnson probably this week. howard willens: it was the fbi's hope that its report would be if not thehe final worord, the e semi finalal word,

mr. johnson, are you running for president? mr. johnson, what brings you to the hill? thanks everybody. >> what's the difference between the rock and joe biden? people are actually excited about the idea of dwayne johnson administration. it's true. the rock has said both parties approach to last year and asked if he'd consider running for president. that make sense. the rock is friends with people on both sides of the political spectrum. except for biden supporters. apparently those people don't exist. >> it's the craziest thing. i have friends who support trump. i have friends who support biden. >> do you really have friends that support biden? >> no, no. i have friends. thank you, that's a good check. this is important context. >> they support the democratic party? >> i have friends that support the party. >> that make sense. biden is getting trounced. trump is beating him in 8 out of 10 national polls. he is ahead in 5 of 6 key battlegrounds. a fox news poll just released hours ago has trump leading biden by 4. look at the gains he has made over biden with key demog

mr. johnson, his whereabouts are being kept secret for security reasons. if anyone knows where mr. johnson is, it is not us at this moment. lawrence wright: there was a signal moment in our cultural history. suddenly it occurred to us, the right thing to do is to tuturn on telelevision. speaker: reports continue to come in, but in a confused and fragmentary fashion. speaker: president kennedy has been given a blood transfusion at parkland hospital here in dallas in an effort to save his life.. lawrence wright: it was odd because there were no commemercials. itit was just a continuous experience. walterer cronkite:e: for two p s hahave entereded the emergency m at parkland hospital, where he rests after the assassination attempt, which now was about a half hour ago. interviewer: what are your feelings right now, ma'am? speaker: i'm absolutely shocked, stunned. we have the same birthday and i'm just crazy about him. speaker: i mean, who would wawant to shoooot the presesi? whatat did he dodo? i mean, , he's been n doing soso much for r the countrt, anand someone e goes ahahead and shs

mr. johnson himself through the course of that inquiry.would you like him to say to families like yours? >> i would like the truth, the plain truth. if they can speak to each other in a whatsapp group in such a frank way, i don't want the act of the affable clown. having messed boris johnson, i asked him to speak plainly to meet. at that meeting he said he tried to do everything he could to protect people like my dad. i didn't believe him then, and if he repeats that the inquiry, i won't believe him. he accused the elderly of being bed blockers. my dad got a bed because someone's relative got kicked out of the bed. he wouldn't have wanted that. anything boris johnson said beyond plain facts, that he wasn't the right person for the job but he clung onto power for so long as i think he was described as a trolley, especially as it matters to covid. anything else apart from admission of that guilt is not good enough. rajini: hannah brady, thank you very much for sharing your thought on today's covid inquiry. i'm sure we will speak to you in th

later, mr johnson is expected to meet israeli president isaac herzog. ple since the second world war. that's a matter of record . and that's a matter of record. and you know what? i think that that may be because across the world the memory and the lesson in of that appalling crime and 6 million died the memory may be starting to fade and it may be that what we're really seeing now in some of these these marches and these and these demos and the unthinking way people are talking about this issue. >> well , we're starting to see >> well, we're starting to see perhaps i really hope this isn't the case, but you're seeing more and more evidence of anti—semitism . anti —semitism. >> anti—semitism. >> humza anti —semitism. >> humza yousaf anti—semitism. >> humza yousaf in—laws have arrived back in scotland after being trapped in gaza for more than three weeks. scotland's first minister confirmed the news on x and posted a photo of the reunion, saying he's pleased they're back home safely. the foreign office is pressing for the rafah crossing to reopen to allow

finally, you heard of. course, as you have indicated, a most difficult conversation with mr johnson onof how you came to agree to such a move, or why it happened, do you think that the means of your departure, the nature of that decision and that meeting and the way in which you came to leave, affected the civility of the civil service and the higher echelons of government? i service and the higher echelons of government?— service and the higher echelons of covernment? , ., , ,, ., , government? i should 'ust know 'ust for the government? i should 'ust know 'ust fer the record fl government? i should 'ust know 'ust for the record the i government? i should just know 'ust for the record the decision �* government? i should just knowjust for the record the decision wasn't i for the record the decision wasn't taken in that meeting, there was a discussion in that meeting, for the reasons you said, i think there is no need to go through all of the to—ing and fro—ing, a lot of it is in the whatsapps and other messages. the final decision i took was in earlyjune, with his agreement, and that g

mr. johnson: the reason i look haggard is i was up late and worked through the weekend on a stopgap measure and realize we may not get all the appropriations bills done by november 17th but we'll continue in good faith and the difference what we call on capitol hill a continuing resolution now and what we dealt with in year's past, this would allow us time to continue this appropriations process. we're committed to bringing 12 bills to the floor as the statutory law requires congress to do and hasn't been done in many years. we're changing the way washington works because it needs to be more accountable and transparent for the people. more accountable and more transparent for the people. we are going to fight that fight every single day and get that job done. host: he talked about those 12 bills. what is the status of those bills? guest: these bills basically have no chance of becoming law as is. they are under a threat from the administration, they spend far less than what democrats were agreeing to with the previous speaker. they have a lot of policy riders on them so they are kind of mes

mr. johnson, who called the aid ukraine, one of the priorities for connection. states, actually after the help of israel. in your opinion, are we going to get that much-needed support from the united states in the full measure we're counting on? this is important for us, such a statement by johnson as the speaker of the congress, which for the most part we now understand very well, still holds the vector for trump's ultra-radical views. and that they understand that supporting their strategic partners, both israel and ukraine, is the national security priorities of the united states itself, and here, too, they will not go against the ordinary american, against an ordinary voter, who in his majority, according to sociology, still supports the aid to ukraine, so they can have, play internal...' games, but somehow we heard even from this comment of johnson that they think that they are convinced, that they will find a consensus and vote. proposed by the white house directly by biden, record aid to ukraine for the next year in the amount of 62 billion dollars, in wh

mr. johnson, who will force the administration to give answers to these clear questions, well, let's work in this spirit, that is, we will clearly not lose from this, but the fact that president biden said that he will not sign this law, well, that's it for everyone you know, there is no need to expect anything here, that is, very serious inter-chamber and inter-party negotiations will begin now. in order to agree what is needed, i think that the victory of israel now, in gas , will also be very quickly in our hands, the sooner it happens, the sooner terrorists all over the world will understand that their activities will be punished , if it is now on the example of hamas, then it is one thing, if it is on the example of russia, it will be completely different. a thing that will be of global importance to everyone, and after that, all the totalitarian and terrorist group that exists in the world today, excuse me, will raise their tails and quietly listen to what they will say, we will say goodbye for that, thank you for your trust and we will see each other, as always, on svoboda live, al

of course, mr sue nacc and mr johnson will give their own evidence to the inquiry. —— mr rishi sunak. hancock, will all appear at the inquiry before christmas. you're alive with bbc news. ——you're live with bbc news. devastating flash flooding in the horn of africa has caused more than 100 deaths. the floods have also caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. the united nations says more than three million people were affected by the heavy rains and flooding between september and mid—november — and more than 700,000 people have been displaced. kenya, somalia, uganda, burundi, and ethiopia are the most affected countries—with somalia being the worst. 1.7 million people have so far been affected. it's the latest in a series weather events to hit the horn of africa region which has just emerged from the most severe drought on record. flooded roads have now made access to fresh produce difficult for residents, as one local explains. translation: the price of a lot of produce has gone up because there is not enough in the market. a kilo of tomatoes is going for 200 shillings. th

mr. johnson, so he can see how much the solar panels expand, the surface area protection rainwater will do in the i'm 50 state and we've noticed that in colder times of year, it's significantly warmer, under the modules and in the open air, on average, it's one to 2 degrees warmer under the modules, and we found that during dry spells, it's significantly temper under the modules in the open air flight the effects of to oftentimes they have animals also feel comfortable in the shade of the silver modules. the piles are driven into the ground and are sturdy enough to withstand changing weather. so there's no need for a concrete floor. the structures serve as airy, light sealed shirts for the animals, sheltering them from rain, hail, storm, birds of prey and scorching sun. the visitors from allow we are impressed with the environmentally friendly set up. that's why it has good fresh water like throughout the country once the countries weren't water. but when we go to a neighboring countries, for example, between up routes, one i don't even have like. so if we're going to do a lot of this kind

mr. johnson, but he is not so simple either, meaning that he not only spreads values ​​close to us, or att seems disgusting to us, i mean current homosexual trends, it was this person who passed a bill that does not... include assistance to ukraine, so as not to harbor any false illusions, i will say right away that johnson has already said that he, of course, is in favor of helping ukraine, but first let’s save, support, help israel, and after january 15 we will return to the conversation about ukraine, and we must understand that returning to this conversation will not be easy, in any case, a scandal in fact, it flared up after zaluzhny’s interview, there was a terrible seething in the american press , zaluzhny not only called for, admitted the failure of the counter-offensive, but in general we knew about it without zaluzhny, he blamed nato tactics for the failure, and today he comes out with an article politico, where they write, oh so, but we won’t give you money then, comrade zaluzhny , look, while the attention of the whole world was turned to israel, fighting against hamas in anot

mr. johnson. who is part of the so-called trump group, said, quote: "we feel the urgency of this because there is deadline, so i'm sure we can do it, that's the end of his quote, but more than that, let's hear him speak directly. ukraine is another priority, of course we cannot allow vladimir putin to march through europe and we understand perfectly well the need to provide aid to ukraine, but we have repeatedly. talked about the fact that in order to allocate additional support to ukraine, which most members of congress believe is important, we also need to change our own border policy. that is, i suggest putting together the puzzles of this puzzle, pieces of this puzzle. yesterday, in the upper house of the american, the upper house of the american congress was told that the bill on support for ukraine, israel, taiwan, as well as on the completion of the border on the fence on the border with mexico will be put to a vote on this bill from december 4, now the speaker of the lower house said that it will be adopted as soon as possible before the new year, so there are some movements, and

mr. johnson is exposed in the most unpleasant we are just going off just just on top of that very, very quickly. so, boris johnson exposed, as you say, in a very uncomfortable way, why do you think the western media is not touching this story at all? well, let's see. uh maybe they will that share the story in the coming days because it just happened that i think yesterday was the day before yesterday. but of course it's an awkward topic that's quite sure that they tried to present one picture. and the revelation was, let me start off, i'm in the absolutely broke these uh, these uh, these, these some uh picture. and each they showed up. so you green was prevented from accepting the peace deal with russia, which was quite favorable. and i think you're going to be start off. i mean, she's interview acknowledges that this was not a bad deal at this time. but then came the boys johnson and said that we have, we will have to fight them. we will find them. so he's are always absolutely clear in these, uh, i would say tragic the fates on maybe decision of the ukrainian or leadership, or with the key. i
