professor tim blackburn from ucl can debunk a few myths.population didn't come from carnaby street and anyway it would be quite unusual for a population to be founded byjust one pair of individuals. hypothesis two — parakeets escaped the set of the african queen at shepperton studios. not true. the african queen was actually filmed at a different studios and our analysis suggests that that was also not the origin of london's parakeets. and hypothesis three — the parakeets escaped an aviary at cine park when the roof was damaged. not true. there's no evidence that this actually happened, and our analysis suggests that the parakeets did not come from this part of london. but how do we know this? well, it's all down to the same technique used to track serial criminals. we produce a heat map which identifies where the most likely origin of the parakeet populations are. and then we can use that to compare the sites that relate to each of these different myths. so, for example, here we have carnaby street in london and we can see that our heat ma

we will get senator marsha blackburn's take. company" just getting started. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ hi, my name is sam davis and i'm going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance. but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits and medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2018, humana medicare advantage prescri

people like senator martha blackburn have filled that space by saying something's wrong.ball. why don't you tell us what is actually going on here? >> no, i don't think that's the issue at all. i think that she just is very understandable that she wants to understand what the rules are in the senate for the upcoming trial before she sends over the articles of impeachment. just a couple days ago, i believe that mitch mcconnell not only uttered what you said in the previous segment. but he said, along with pat cipollone, that maybe the trial will last a few days without any witnesses. that's not a trial. and regardless of how divided americans are about impeachment, i think most people want some degree of fairness. and want the trial to look like something that the constitution envisioned. not some kind of a kangaroo proceeding. >> what do you think the outcome would be different amongst republican senators who would vote for impeachment if there were a trial that had the witnesses that i was just talking to aaron blake about who could be called? do you think it just makes

she's on the committee, and now marcia brac busha blackburn. i did not serve with her. but it's going to be interesting to see how they use abuses in fisa to try to legitimize a political argument, and they're just going to ignore all the convictions that this investigation produced from the department of justice? by the way, these convictions weren't in state court. these were department of justice prosecutors that obtained convictions for a wide variety of trump-associated bad actors. and they're just going to ignore that. >> frank, there was one part of the fisa -- let me ask this. and this is something, i asked john brennan this yesterday. it's clear carter page was working with another part of the government. now, usually you don't become an informant unless you've done something wrong and you've been flipped. so i do want to, like to remind people, most of the time -- most of the time when you have an informant, they're not a great person. >> no. >> they've probably done something, and this was their way of trying to stay out of trouble. but at what point should t
