irwin said i could have been a target audience for this particular program. fortunately, when i went to school, i was able to read very well. i was one of those kids that raised their hands to read, but we did not have books in our house. my family came from italy and immigrants and there were not any books in our house to speak of. so but i did learn to read. like i said in school, continued through high school and college and eventually actually probably after college is what i when i kind of started reading my wife at that time was a big reader. she would hand me books that she read. i said, very good or good on them. so i actually it was as an adult, i pretty much got got into reading my daughters and my children. i really helped out and they were reading back. one of my daughters got penalized for reading during a lesson. she had her book. it was reading during lessons, but i did not have that background. i was a i would have been a good target audience for reading rainbow and i just, you know, didn't have that background that most children nowadays coul

joining us now, till right ceo irwin simon.rom mar-a-lago, donald trump, when asked about the threat to slap up to 60% tariffs on foreign companies said tariffs will make the u.s. rich. that has really frightened a lot of companies that import. what position are you in, knowing now that you have bought up a dozen, even more made in america spirits and beer brands? >> well, he should number one. and number two, we've got to employ americans, we've got to make beer here and beer is to be made here and till rate today is the fifth largest craft brewer in america. all our products are made in america. all our spirits are made in america. we only employ a couple thousand people, 2500 people that make our beer and distribute our beer, et cetera. so tariffs will not affect us at all. and you know, it's great. corona coming out of mexico, we have pub beer coming out of oregon and coming out of georgia. liz: it says cerveza on it. >> the good news, from our standpoint, we're in a really good place. we've been very innovative on products

awareness around women's reproductive health, with celebrities like emma bunton, the conservationist bindi irwintors like lena dunham opening up about how pain from conditions like endometriosis has turned their lives upside down. last year the women and equalities committee heard from other high—profile women, but this hasn't yet translated into action. its report, published today, says there is a clear lack of education and medical misogyny in the area of gynaecology, a lack of awareness and understanding of women's reproductive health among primary care practitioners, and calls for the nhs to urgently implement a training programme to improve treatment and diagnosis for women and girls. the word medical misogyny and the reason why we've used it and titled that in our report, is because that is exactly what women are experiencing. and it's not from the individual gps or gynaecologists necessarily, from themselves, but it's from the institution. it's how health in this country deals with women's pain and with women's suffering and health issues. the department of health says it intends to overh

irwin told us that's actually a common catch of most airline tickets.ortion of it, you have to change the whole ticket. so and it reprices it when you change one part, it reprices the entire ticket. arthur and lori admit their one mistake, but felt lufthansa pinched them twice. we were really unhappy about it. we thought they could have been a little bit more hospitable, so they contacted us. we contacted lufthansa. it did not reply to our request for comment, but lufthansa did send arthur and his wife partial refunds. that totaled $217. in an email to arthur, the airline called it a gesture of goodwill. i really appreciated the help. as for you, heed the warning from lori and arthur's case. it's a lesson to learn. we could have handled it better if we had at the last minute called them and said, we're going to be late. don't go fumbling for phone numbers on your next trip. instead, save your airline and if you have one, your travel agent's phone number into your phone before you go. also, download the airline's app and for extra credit, save the airlin

the according to economics professor doug irwin, tariffs are a powerful tool, too, they're just rarelye. >> what economists have concluded is that tariffs usually have a lot of unintended consequences, can lead to blow back where other countries retaliate against you and so are not a really good policy instrument for achieving goals that we all-americans want to achieve. s your day.

i also want to thank the irwin family for sharing their daughter kate with us. though kate passed away a few years ago, i think about her often and have told colleagues and staffers her wise words during one of our last times together. she said, this isn't have to do stuff, this is get to do stuff. she was an amazing young woman who made a big difference in far too short of time. i want to thank every team member who served the congressional sixth district during my time in office, together we made a real difference. sophie and aven, whatever you do in your life, i hope you have a team as good as i have, people who work hard, do the right thing, and who care. sophie and aven, it's good to have a crew, you heard more about the new democrat coalition than most americans and certainly more than most teenagers. i was lucky to serve as leader of the new dems, including the chair. the new dems are the best kept secret in politics, they chase impact more than headlines and simply put, they're focused on getting things done for the american people. politics could use mo

. >> reporter: according to dartmouth economic professor doug irwin, governments have all kinds of reasons introducing tariffs. >> so sometimes it's to reduce the trade deficit. sometimes it's to bring back jobs. sometimes it's to punish other countries for their unfair trade practice. sometimes it's for revenue to cut income taxes. >> reporter: at its most fundamental, a tariff works like this. suppose we import a product from china. the price is $50. but before you can buy it, our government adds $25 to the price. that's the tariff. your final price is $75. china gets its $50. the extra 25 winds up going to the u.s. treasury. but who pays these tariffs? according to donald trump, it's the other countries. >> trillions and trillions of dollars pouring into the united states treasury. china paid hundreds of billions of dollars during my term. >> of course, that's not exactly the way tariffs work. i think economists would say that's very misleading to say that's what's going on. of course, it's the u.s. final consumers that are paying those, not china itself. so china is not writing checks

yes, the biggest tv export since crocodile hunter steve irwin. why do you think it's such a success i think doesn't matter who you are or where you live in the world, the stories resonate because they're so truthful and funny and true to life. >> i think, um, there's something in. yeah, in that. and they're so beautifully told. and the animation is gorgeous. there's a there's a lot to love. >> and of course, you are an accomplished actress on stage and in film. just explain for us how you landed the role of the voice of blue's mum. >> it was a really serendipitous situation. i was putting a voiceover down in someone's studio, which happened to be dan brumm, who's joe brum's brother, who's the creator, and he said, my brother's making this animation. um, it's already cast. you have a great voice. can we chuck down some demos? and at the 11th hour, they needed to change the voices up. um, for the premiere at the cartoon convention and then, um, then they did their due diligence and auditioned for three months, and then they came back to me and said

irwin, head of the children's project.eventh trip to ukraine and poland. i do not need to tell you, this war has been going on for almost three years now. let's just set like a baseline. what impact has it had on children in ukraine and those who fled ukraine. what did you see on this trip? >> well, hi, chris. it is complicated because children are highly vulnerable to all the impact of the seemingly now endless war, including lots of physical injuries. lots of children have been killed. made rounds in the children's hospital in love reeve, ukraine. . over and over, we see the ravages of war on severely injured children. but -- and psychologically there is of course an impact as well. lots of children suffering from posttraumatic stress and so on. on the other hand, which is why it is so complicated, chris, children are absolutely amazingly resilient. as soon as they get a sense they are safe, their families are safe, they may be missing their dads who are at work, and we heard a lot about that from different children, the

so what they're experiencing now from the transit from the irwin center to moody arena has already been happening over and over again for decades. this is austin's turn in some ways, with respect to a major venue which had been relative accessible becoming this gentry fied, vip sort of catering venue we've seen all over the country. i think that's because the sports industry has figured out how to extract profits from a more affluent crowd in the american society, right? we see this even in the designs of stadiums. stadium capacities have gotten smaller. they're taken up by premium seating or luxury seats. working class fans who might be able to get in now. i think there are exceptions. i think soccer stadiums are more democratically constituted but that's because the soccer industry in the united states is behind the nfl and mlb and other big sporting leagues that we see today. i want to think because what we see in the history of stadiums in this country are public pushback that's resulted in the democracies of society. i suspect because the sport industry relies on the labor of margi

irwin red letter, nbc news public health analyst and a founding director of the national center for disasterparedness at columbia university. thank you for being here. i want to start with this claim by mr. siri, that the polio vaccine, because they didn't use a control group, i guess by allowing some people to get polio and see what happens, the vaccine is not safe and should be taken off the market. your thoughts? >> so, yeah, hi, joy. i am astounded that we are having this conversation. >> same. >> medicine has been all about, we have a disease that is killing people, or injuring people, we try to treat it, then we try to prevent it. it has been a steady progress for 50 to 100 years, now. and the great triumphs of medicine are mostly about vaccinations. they have prevented millions and millions of people from suffering lifelong paralysis, or death, or brain injuries, and it is just amazing to me. i mean, even thinking about having a control group where some children got the polio vaccine, and some didn't, exactly which children would we not give the vaccine to? since we know, for an absol

it's called for meteorologist kyla irwin who is tracking all of that for us. hey, kyla. hey there. yes, unfortunately that some danger out of the coast, not just today, but right through the weekend. it's another northwest swell. we've had this before. we had a westerly swell earlier in the week. we have this massive waves that came in. this one also capable of reading massive waves, a massive danger. so you gotta be careful of point arena. you can see a read the 23 foot waves off the coast there. now we're not that high yet. but as we go down into off the quote, coast of point rays were about 14 feet. >> been watching these kind of go up slowly but surely. so again, this goes all the way through the weekend. so we are under that high surf advisory until 04:00pm on sunday. so the best advice is and, you know, avoid the coast, if you can. as we head towards the weekend because potentially we have 20 to 30 foot high waves coming our way again, it's all about those sneaker waves can just knock a person off their feet and into very cold water and can get very tragic. very quickly. ther
