order for this to be properly cracked down on so when you see that even people like dame margaret beckered a blind eye. he was doing the right things on brexit. it was just so opportunistic on their part. so someone who's been engaged very close up is lodging a complaint, it's not just very close up is lodging a complaint, it's notjust a matter of partisan or as to whether he will be in the house of lords of honour because his reputation is not peerless. it's very much, questions can be raised about his conduct or whether he deserves to be there and not a matter of automatic fear. one that we should stress he has always denied any allegations of bullying. regarding the guardian is picking up the story. un demands enquiry into hacking of amazon boss. you couldn't make this up. absolutely extraordinary. the highest echelons of power, mohammed bin salman, the saudi crown prince, it's alleged by the un that whatsapp exchanges with one of the richest men in the world, jeff bezos, perhaps try to hack his phone and obtain details in a whatsapp message that he perhaps opened, spam practically an

i was talking to boris becker last week. he won a grand slam at 17.r those names, thank you. millions around the world will tune in to the grammy awards this sunday. as the recording academy grapples with how to reflect the diversity of the music industry — we turn to the relationship between race and country music. in 2018, rapper lil nas x released his hit single, old town road. billboard removed the song from its country charts — at first — saying it wasn't "country enough". some critics said race was a factor. cathy mcclay has been to nashville, the heart of country music, to find out more. country music is giving an opportunity for you to tell a story. the truth is, when you think about country music, you probably don't picture people like jimmie allen. in a room full of country artists, there would be about two or three other people that look like me. i was excited and sad to be the first black artist to launch a number one in country, just because of the year. it is 2020, 2019 at the time and country stemmed from a black chart. world's hose ind

finally, as she begins her last year as speaker, i would like to give a special thank you to speaker kc becker for her steady leadership of this chamber. her passionate dedication to our people and planet are truly unmatched. you know we are blessed to live in a place as special and amazing as colorado. our states breathtaking natural beauty, strong economy, optimistic and forward thinking people truly make colorado the envy of the nation. that does not happen by accident. the success happens because for decades, coloradans from across the continental divide, across the political divide, have worked together in good faith to find common ground to protect what keeps colorado special, and to build an even better state. i am grateful the men and women in this building are continuing in that tradition. working together last year, we lowered health-care costs, lower taxes for small businesses, provided more affordable housing options, made the largest ever state investment in transportation and delivered universal -- free full-day kindergarten for all.

israel in avraham with analysis from ramallah for the moment need a thank you let's go to stephanie becker now she joins us live from gaza of course the hamas government there has rejected rejected that the you even before it was announced what more reaction do you for see from gaza and crucially do you think that we will now see more unity between the 2 palestinian factions. had how massive been so it all goes for a very long time and never been able to achieve any form of unity government that i think we're going to have to really be cautious in observing that you know the people here want change they want a better life they want the blockade the siege to be lifted it certainly doesn't seem like this is going to be part of the plan why because contingent on that happening you have to have how mass disarm and the entire gaza strip demilitarized well there's a lot of groups here with a lot of weapons and they see that as legitimate resistance to israel's occupation of palestinian land so i think you know from the outset that is going to be impossible if not very difficult to achieve so are

jackson vander becker has the story. >> reporter: the man accused of offering the money is nick bovas who owns leftie o'doul's. mohammed nur uv set up the meeting that is at the heart of the corruption case. >> san francisco has been betrayed. >> reporter: called only airport commissioner 1 in court documents, source identified the commissioner involved as 24-year commissioner linda crayton. she tindered her resignation late wednesday, citing health concerns. according to court testimonies, secret recordings captured creighton bragging about her ability to deliver a deal, but then turning down the cash, still promising to help because mohammed is asking me. she allegedly says nuru never asks me for anything, and tells the men she will be doing what she is supposed to do. i'm getting old. i've been on the commission a long time. this is insane, she said. in the end, he didn't get the lease, but she never reported she met with any perspective vendor or any bribery attempt. >> if somebody tries to bribe you, you've got to call the cops. >> reporter: supervisor aaron peskin wants all offi

so i think certainly a provocative plan for people here and not offering any hope stephanie becker in gaza with the latest reaction from there stephanie thank you. well in an interview with al jazeera a little earlier president trump senior adviser jared kush there is said that the status quo isn't working and that something has to change we tried to carve out a way with land swaps and with bridges and tunnels to create a palestinian state that can be contiguous where you can drive from the top through tunnels and bridges and through land and highways all the way to the bottom and so we've been able to achieve that the map will be released publicly and that's something that was very very hard to do but quite frankly if we don't do this today at the rate at which israel is growing i think that it will never be able to be done so we see this as the last state for the palestinian last chance for the palestinians to have a state and the other big accomplishment the president made today was getting israel to agree to the palestinian state the status quo is not working it has not work and w

well, my book is built upon people like milton friedman, like frederic kayak, like gary becker, like george stigler, frank easterbrook, richard epstein, conservative and libertarian economists, scholars, lawyers, judges. and what do they say? this is what they say. number one, we do have to have some policing of the marketpla marketplace. but even frederic kayak the austrian school of economics believed in common pleas was a fair market. at the very least, even the libertarians say we need three rules in the markets. no fraud, no breach of contract and no price fixing. we cannot have vibrant markets of the companies can bridge the promises to us if they can lie about what they are selling and its competitors caitas competito cahoots with one another and least we need those rules. so the question then is how are we going to enforce and implement those rules and what i argue in the book is the conservative way to do it is through the private enforcement of the law. i go back to the literature on the privatization that was very popular during ronald reagan and margaret thatcher's times

like friedrich hayek, let gary becker, like george stigler, like frank easterbrook.ke richard epstein. conservative and libertarian economists, scholars, lawyers, judges, and what did they say? this is what they say. we have to have some policing of our marketplace. not even friedrich hayek, the austrian school of economics believed in complete laissez-faire markets. in the very least, even libertarians say we need three rules in our markets no fraud, no breach of contract, and no price fix. we cannot have vibrant markets if companies can breach their promises to us if they can lie about what they are selling and if competitors can get in cahoots with one another. at least we need those rules. the question then is how are we going to enforce and abutment those rules. what i argue in the book is the conservative way to do it is through the private enforcement of the law. i go back to the literature on privatization that was very popular during ronald reagan and margaret thatcher's times in this literature basically says we want to privatize everything. therefore, why
