the daily mail leads with criticism by boris johnson over the government's plans for trade after brexithank you both very much for joining us. let's start with the metro, which is talking about torres johnson's visit to the united states —— boris johnson. give trumper nobel peace prize. the only person who could believe this is trump himself, because you can't flatter him too much and it is need to get him to not back down from the iran deal. otherwise it is ludicrous. this man threatened to blast north korea out of the water. he has put up military spending and upped intervention in the middle east, so it is ludicrous but it might just the middle east, so it is ludicrous but it mightjust swing it, because if borisjohnson but it mightjust swing it, because if boris johnson flatters but it mightjust swing it, because if borisjohnson flatters him enough, he might succeed. that is clearly the aim. i suppose the dangerfor boris clearly the aim. i suppose the danger for boris johnson is clearly the aim. i suppose the dangerfor borisjohnson is if it doesn't come off. fascinating that the best

and then, it's up to boris johnson and then, it's up to boris johnson to decide what he's going to doa public consultation on ticketing, to try to make the system fairer, and easier to use. the industry has admitted that people are not always offered the cheapest fare available. the consultation will lead to a series of proposals for the government to consider. passenger groups say reform is overdue, as our correspondent leigh milner reports. it's fair to say for most of us rail fares are either confusing or very expensive and not for the first time since privatisation rail companies across the country have launched a public consultation to make that process much simpler, easier and hopefully much cheaper. the regulation that was designed in the 1990s, that still drives the structure of our terrace system and since then we've had massive changes in the way we work, travel, we've had much more flexible lives and we wa nt flexible had much more flexible lives and we want flexible ticketing. the industry admits passengers are not a lwa ys industry admits passengers are not always current

was boris johnson's first stop in d.c. which was an apparent move to try to get trump's attention now boris johnson has already met with secretary from jail and he's set to meet with other top officials during his visit but he's not the first european official that has tried to warn the u.s. against leaving the deal now german and french foreign ministers have stated that there is no justifiable reason to plot of the deal now in addition to that five hundred french british and german m.p.'s wrote a letter to congress asking them to quote keep the j. c.p.o. way alive and beyond that president mccraw and then chancellor merkel even visited washington d.c. to discuss the matter but they were able to convince trump otherwise. the isn't them and we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and have no agreement. if. the iran deal is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert ge

talking about boris johnson. we have all got the story in the papers.hing that has come out of there. the pool will la st come out of there. the pool will last because this idea of air force one and the americans... of course because it is written we get worried about this, but about boris johnson says i would have this onjet going around the world selling brexit. there is a point here to some mps la st there is a point here to some mps last week who are very embarrassed that you go to this big 620 and every company has its grand jet and we have our raf one at the end. £80 billion businesses have their own jets, why can't theresa may or boris johnson? i suppose talking about the costs they could do. liam fox and dividend. the much time they spend abroad, i'm sure he will love that. also suggested the new worrilow yachts he is so keen on could be used in heated sale across the channel on that. he could follow i suppose his political hero, and the lectures you live. we will move to those photographs. the 71st pictures we have seen. it was going to happen

boris johnson is flying to washington to urge the us not to scrap the nuclear deal with iran.as called "insane". more now on the news that sir alex ferguson, britain's most successful football manager, is in intensive care after undergoing emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. his former team manchester united said the operation went "very well" but that he now needed a period of intensive care. our sports correspondent david 0rnstein has been speaking to fans outside old trafford this morning. this is a man who transcends not only football, sports, but society asa only football, sports, but society as a whole. here at old trafford where he made his name, a stand named after sir alex ferguson, a statue erected in his honour. calm today as people come to terms with the news but fans gathering. i am joined by two. vanilla, you have travelled a long way to old trafford. —— pernilla. travelled a long way to old trafford. -- pernilla. my boss for half of my united life and i hope it gets better soon. football is all about rivalries. you are not a manchester united fan but this

foreign secretary boris johnson unlike u.k. home secretary on the road there's not resigned for misleading the public a story covered even on mainstream media twentieth of march boris johnson gave an interview to a german t.v. station and his answer was pretty clear i mean the people from from porton down the. way have the samples you do and they and they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt and then then two days later on the twenty second of march the foreign office appeared to back up his claim and tweeted that analysis reporter dan made it clear that it was a military great number chopped nerve agent produced in russia yesterday the head of portadown revealed they hadn't identified the source of the poison and then this morning the tweet was deleted by the foreign office maybe what amber rudd did wrong when she resigned after misleading the british people about deportation targets and the windrush scandal was that she didn't tweet the information b

so, from boris johnson, a final face—to—face few days later.son, a finalface—to—face plea to senior officials such as the new secretary of state mike pompeo. that he has taken a tough stance on iran and said the landmark deal is built on lies. the european countries have not yet admitted defeat about the word from paris tonight is that france, germany and britain would stick to the iran deal regardless of what donald trump decides. the problem is that the re—imposition of us sanctions on terror rennes could deal it a fatal blow. our north america correspondent nick bryant is with us. i'm not quite sure what boris johnson has that angela merkel and emmanuel macron don't have apart from perhaps a slightly spectacular hairdo like donald trump, what is he going to be ever to say to persuade trump to stick with the deal?” guess he is the third element of the offensive and it feels like the last 15 minutes of a football game. you have had the star striker, the flashy star striker, emmanuel macron, if coming over and making the case. you have had the

president not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal boris johnson is in washington d.c. for two days of talks as the deadline to extend the landmark twenty fifteen agreement approaches this week speaking to u.s. media johnson mess of the deal has its witnesses but said could be improved over time. well the president set a world a legitimate challenge in january which was to try to address all of the bad stuff that iran is is doing in the region to try to stop iran getting missiles intercontinental ballistic missiles stop them interfering in neighboring countries and also to fix the cool problem of the deal which is that it expires in twenty twenty five and then there's no way of of stopping the rain's going very rapidly to get a nuclear weapon well we think we can fix all that working with our european friends we can be tougher on iran but not throw away that the the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting nuclear weapons well campbell how could joins us now live from the white house hi there kimberly so he saw actually meeting how likely is it then tha

foreign secretary boris johnson to go to washington he's made his case in the new york times he wrote of all the options we have for ensuring that iran never gets a nuclear weapon this part offers the fewest disadvantages it has weak this is certainly but i'm convinced they can be remitted i'm sure of one thing every available turn that if is worse the wisest goals would be to improve the handcuffs rather than break them or either to go live to our white house correspondent kimberly how caisson kimberly said boris johnson is the latest in a long line of europeans who've been trekking to washington to try to get donald trump to stick with this deal. that's right in addition to the foreign secretary penning that op ed in the new york times he's also been on two of the morning chat shows here in the united states essentially what many are learning around the world is if you want to communicate with donald trump go on the program fox and friends and that's exactly what boris johnson has done again sort of echoing the messages you put there that in fact that that is the belief of european

i think boris johnson will be putting a lot of effort in when he's over there.ho is dug in on this one. and the policies were quite interesting, certainly for the brexiteers and conservatives more generally, in that the hope had been that president trump would be a really sympathetic figure in the white house and that obviously, with all the other entrance, they could also hope that he might excel at retail trade dealfor when we hope that he might excel at retail trade deal for when we leave the european union. the american trade deal is the thing they have been hankering after the most. but all around, the europeans have a lot invested in this around deal. —— around deal. as you mention, nicolas maduro saying to get rid of it without something viable willjust create regional instability. the israelis were very critical of the dealfrom the moment it israelis were very critical of the deal from the moment it was signed. i think there is an element of an operation there were the israelis are operation there were the israelis a re really operation there were the is

but certainly there have been some discouraging sides not only that there is this even though boris johnson is here in the united states right now and he isn't meeting with donald trump directly but we know he is meeting with the secretary of state paled the national security advisor john bolton and also the vice president mike pence even as those meetings are taking place even boris johnson as you point out has been acknowledging that there is a recognition that donald trump has a point that there are widespread concerns about the jay c.p.o. way that the twenty fifteen agreement doesn't address some things that donald trump has brought up like concerns about the sunset clause ballistic missile testing even concerns about iran's military presence in the region so the argument has been though let's try and work with this deal make something better to address those concerns but so far it doesn't appear that that convincing is working but there are some days to come still before that deadline and decision has to be made indeed because president trump has to decide whether to continue with the

the foreign secretary, boris johnson, is heading to washington where he'll make a last—ditch effort toersuade the us not to abandon the iran nuclear deal. mr trump has criticised the agreement, which was negotiated under barack 0bama's presidency, despite attempts by western allies to change his mind. the president claims it has flaws because it doesn't cover ballistic missile development. 0ur washington correspondent, chris buckler, reports. in a series of visits to the white house, european leaders have been trying to get donald trump to listen to their concerns about his hardline stance on iran. he is going to be a great president of france. despite the clear warmth with which he greeted the french president, emmanuel macron, and the time he gave the german chancellor, angela merkel, donald trump is still planning to abandon

nick: boris johnson is not the first european to charm and cajole. frcrch president emmanuel ma pleaded with mr. trump to accept the compromise. german chancellor angela merkel made the same case a few days later. from the foreign secretary, a final face-to-face plea senior administration officials such as the new secretary of state, mike pompeo, who said at the iran deal is built on lies.th view is shared by donald trump, and the final decision rests with him. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. jane: for more on what is at stake in tomorrow's decision, i was joined a short time a by robert malley, who served as special adviser to president obama and is now president of the international crisis group. doesn' doesup his mind -- it sound as if he has made up his mind. what do you think this means for p e iran deal? >> i think he mades mind a while ago. he seems determined to undo president obama's legacy and live up to his campaign commitments. i think he will walk away. what is you- what does europe do? jane: we have seen a succession of european lead

we have seen emmanuel macron, angela merkel, boris johnson.haps there is some method in his madness. he has made some inroads in korea. who knows? it isa some inroads in korea. who knows? it is a frightening time at the moment. he has pulled off some coups. what does this tell us about the influence of europe? i am uneasy when a president of any country reneges on a huge agreement made by his predecessor, when his predecessor was not a lunatic of any sort at all. and, you know, i wonder if mrtrump makes sort at all. and, you know, i wonder if mr trump makes an agreement, that his successor then reneges on, what he will say. if you do announce quite flatly that you're going to renege on something, people shouldn't be surprised. but i agree. this isn't him pulling out of something that had not been signed on the dotted line. it had been. it isa on the dotted line. it had been. it is a legal quagmire now. he is confident it is the right thing to do. i have little confidence in him asa do. i have little confidence in him as a person. it has been f

is that boris johnson? what did he call the brexit plan — the one theresa may supports? crazy? if the brexit plan is that crazy, are you ready to resign? how are you? how are you, he said. fine, can't say the same for him or the cabinet. sir, is the government's customs partnership a crazy idea? word is the brexit secretary is not keen on the pm's choice of plan either — thinks it is too complex. the buck stops here. the prime minister has to get a plan, and her divided cabinet, together. so what are the customs options? the brexiteers' favourite is a sharp break, and use new technology to avoid stops at the border. and mrs may's — a customs partnership. britain collects customs duties, passes on some cash to the eu, and refunds traders when there is a cheaper british trade deal. so no blockages, and no hard border with ireland. in today's daily mail, mrs may's favourite paper, borisjohnson called that idea crazy, tied to the eu. could you ever support a plan you call crazy? so now the prime minister must win the argument, somehow convince colleagues like the home secretary she

boris johnson has appeared on a number of us tv networks, including the president's favourite channelg him to keep faith with the agreement. the foreign secretary told reporters that the deal had its weaknesses but these could be fixed. the president set the world a legitimate challenge for the world. to stop them getting nuclear missiles and to stop them interfering in other countries, and also fixed the core problem of the deal which it inspires in 2025. and there's no way to stop the iranians getting nuclear weapons very rapidly, but we think we can all fix that, working with our european friends. we can be tougher on iran but not throw away the heart of the deal which is about stopping them getting a nuclear weapon. our correspondent, barbara plett usher said boris johnson's visit was part of a concerted effort by european countries to keep the iran deal going. the french and german leaders were speaking with the president here recently. basically with the message that the iran deal is not perfect but it is working in that it is preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon. so, d

the website politico has a story on the british foreign secretary boris johnson being pranked by russianranksters pretending to be the armenian prime minister. the article says that the topics of the salisbury poisoning, and president putin were discussed in the conversation. and finally, we have an article from the independent about a study that's found that graphic health warnings on cans of sugary drinks could deter people from buying them. with me isjoel kibazo, partner atjk associates and a former director of communications at africa development bank. welcome back to you. let's start with the straits times then and the big news that president trump has called off this historic summit. well, it was going to be a stoic, it is certainly no more for the moment. what is your take on this? in other words, it is not a complete surprise. only two days ago, americanjournalist surprise. only two days ago, american journalist quoted as saying that they have all been advised by flexible tickets, ones that could be cancelled. yeah. and do the same for anyone else. what it does show really is tha

boris johnson, the foreign secretary in the u.k.ent theresa may a list of brexit commands, saying she has to take the u.k. out of the european trading route as fast as possible. he spoke explicitly to tim ross at the g20 summit. the prime minister is the custodian of the plan to get on with it at all convenient speed. that is what we are going to do. whattina, peru, chile, they want to hear from us is that we are getting on with it with dynamism. we are going to take back control of our tariff schedules. that is what they want to appear and that is what we are hearing. tim: for very long? is important for people to have a sense of 18 is going to happen, as fast as reasonably possible. said we should trust the prime minister to deliver on worryomises, there is about a betrayal of vision. can they trust you? what is your bottom line? if you get shackled into some arrangement with the european union, will you be prepared to walk away from the cabinet? boris: the prime minister has made it clear we are coming out of the customs union, w

one so that he had this independent commission that it gave people their rights back but does boris johnson have a point in one sense you mentioned gallagher justin trudeau didn't allow thousands of venezuelans to vote in the consulates so we should thousand in a travesty in itself that is as far as i understand it it's a complete contravention of the vienna convention on the magic relations it is sovereign territory you can't tell somebody that can't do something about itself and this is it. canada said that they were going to stop those people from voting how they did it i'm not all whether they actually put people in front of the doors or not however that only six thousand x. hats vendors are going to act at that minute in canada. with an abstention greater forty eight percent to fifty truck out remember which one is the true that they're so similar you know only three thousand of those will probably go to vote anyway so it makes very little difference through to a country that's going to have that has a population of twenty million and again it's political these are all countries that a

the pay which is highly anti-growth so i mean i'll read you some of boris johnson's exact quotes he's the foreign minister foreign secretary for the united kingdom theresa may is the prime minister in case you don't know a lot of people may not hear much about the united kingdom but he said that outward free trade in countries what they want to hear from us is that we are getting on with it with confidence embryo in zap and dynamite. so over that's not a clown does he know these that's equivalent is going. squirting water so i like your idea that the u.k. needs a clown station to compete with a berlusconi's and then only the trump clownish behavior in america and other global clowns i mean to compete in this global economy you need a clown force johnson's caliber he's a world class clown well if you don't have the authority in the power to be a state's person then you might as well be a clown because you've got to compete for global attention right so johnson's comments however are his strongest since teresa mayes team agreed last week on a controversial compromise that could keep the

boris johnson is flying to washington to urge the us not to scrap the nuclear deal with iran.as called "insane". sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. messages of support continue to come from around the world for sir alex ferguson as he recovers from emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. the 76—year—old remains in intensive care — his former club manchester united say the operation went very well. just last weekend sir alex was on the pitch at old trafford presenting his rival arsene wenger with a commemorative vase. the scot is widely regarded as britain's most successful football manager, winning 49 trophies, including 13 premier league titles. the football association, fifa, uefa, clubs and fans have been sending messages of support. quite sad. in the shop because he means a lot to the people. -- it is a shock. i am elite supporter. i wish him all the best wishes from denmark. —— i ama the best wishes from denmark. —— i am a leeds supporter. unheard of for am a leeds supporter. unheard of for a manager, his achievements,

boris johnson of course, we are working hand in glove. we do believe there were advantages in maintaining the discrete deal at the heart of , we thought that was a good idea. constraining the militant activity, that is what we share. france, germany, the united kingdom have stood shoulder to shoulder. show that it isn't the customs union that is crazy but what is crazy is the idea we could instead have a trade deal within the united states that we think will put mutual interest before the subject interest? johnson: i'm not sure what that has to do with the jcpoa. the truth is that there are no moderates. leaves use of that word the conclusion that it is the case. this is a minority, and exporter of terrorism. and none of it is covered by the , so can i urge them to work with united states on a conclusion to the deal? johnson: i hope you use the office to encourage united states to go forward with the details of that plan? madam, deputy speaker, in terms of allergies. i wonder what steps the with uniteds taking states, with the country may

the statement made on twitter came as the foreign secretary, boris johnson, on a visit to washington,ed mr trump not to abandon the agreement, saying it would mean throwing the baby out with the bathwater. the deal struck in 2015 led to iran limiting its nuclear programme in return for a lifting of economic sanctions — an arrangement which president trump has called insane. our north america correspondent nick bryant reports from washington. on american television this morning, a double serving of boris at breakfast, the foreign secretary appearing on donald trump's favourite news show, fox & friends, to address an audience of one. we think what you can do is be tougher on iran, address the concerns of the president, and not throw the baby out with the bathwater. and, just in case the president had switched channels, he popped up on a rival network to repeat — a bad deal is better than no deal. well, i understand that people have anxiety about this deal, and of course they're right in the sense that it is very far from perfect, but it is the best thing that we have at the moment. dona

you mentioned boris johnson, he stark that it looks really bad.hnson, he was caught up by the hoax is last week, and had a big conversation with them, and he was one of the people who is lambasting russia the strongest for what has happened here. he has now been made to look a fool for a second time in a row, we will see how this pans out, lots of explaining to do and also russia and ukraine have very tense relations since the invasion of cormier a few years ago, i don't ink it's good to prove anything. astern to the front of the daily and the headline is sexist chief claim women aren't fit for boardrooms and in what way are we not picked ? for boardrooms and in what way are we not picked? this is a report that the business department is releasing, and they listed the worst excuses given by board members, male board members, business bosses, for not having women on their boards. so i think tech startup companies don't have any board members were female, at all on board. some have, and some of the excuses given our extraordinary thing women do not

boris johnson is in washington today meeting with mike pompeo. next two days meeting with administration officials as president trump decides whether the u.s. will remain in the iran nuclear agreement. the trip follows recent visits in weeks by the leaders of germany who also tried to convince president trump to stick with the deal. negotiators from the three nafta nations try again this week in washington to come up with a revised trade deal. after eight months of talks and a number of contentious issues, the u.s. is germany who also tried to threatening to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum from canada and mexico deal.y cannot agree on a the european union says it will begin investigating crimes says it will begin investigating crimes committed against at the serbs during kosovo's war for independence. bloody war ended with a 78-day nato air campaign in 1999. the court has yet to hear any cases. a man accused of killing four people at a tennessee waffle house last month will undergo a mental health evaluation before going to court. a judge to

we are back to boris johnson.g that we have an amnesty for at least 700,000 of them. if we do that we send out a signal to the whole world that britain is a soft touch. get a visa, come here, overstay your visa and nobody will do anything about it. and all this does, it adds to the size of the illegal economy. so many people here illegally don't pay tax. so many here illegally because of their status get dragged into criminality or other bad things in society and it's all well and good for boris and people like that. they say we mustn't talk tough on immigration, it will make us look nasty. let me tell you, recent pull out last week, 71% of british people want the government to get rid of people here illegally. there's a massive gap here between westminster and the real country. >> tucker: i read the other day, i don't know if this can be true or is true, this. that great britain has taken in more immigrants in the last 40 years then came to england between 1960 and 1066, the norman invasion. that's true? >> you a

last-ditch effort to convince president trump to stick with the nuclear deal with vice president, boris johnson making his case for the agreement. >> without throwing the baby out with the bath water without scrapping the whole thing. if you do that, what next? what if they do rush for a nuclear weapon? are we saying we'll bomb those facilities in their country? is that a realistic possibility? or do we work with what we've got and push back on iran together? >> what do we do. griff jenkins is live in washington will boris be able to convince president trump to remain in the deal? >> he is charismatic. he knows the iran deal is flawed and needs to be remedied. the president has not waivered in his position he will pull out of the deal unless there are substantial changes and secretary of state mike pominville is saying we aren't seeing the necessary changes that would strengthen the deal. iran's president says he is not open to renegotiation. over the weekend chairman of the house armed services committee max thornberry suggested maybe what the president should do is delay his decision. take a

and kill it seemingly testing out the theory third time's a charm the british foreign secretary boris johnson is in washington and a last ditch effort to save the pac from trump's wrath that's after the leaders of france and germany had no luck whatsoever isn't that we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and have no agreement. the iran deal is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize that you run through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geo political influence in syria and lebanon. the solid look robust verifiable agreed guarantees that iran will not nuclear weapons to denounce it without proposing anything else would be a serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible. but we should acknowledge that the current agreement doesn't address these longer things not covered by the iran nuclear deal is iran's activity in the region. this by going in with iron resolve both the chrono and merkel and it up looking like they were just trying to pander to the us leader and although bor

foreign secretary boris johnson to persuade try to keep the u.s. within the deal even with top trump administrators including secretary of state mike pump aoe but not donald trump in the absence of a presidential meeting johnson penned an editorial in the new york times newspaper and has been appearing on multiple u.s. t.v. networks urging trump to remain in the agreement he will be tougher on iran but not throw away that the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting nuclear weapons the deal was negotiated in twenty fifty and under the administration of u.s. president barack obama and included other european countries as well as russia and china it's designed to contain iran's nuclear program for civilian use only. trouble was to get out of the deal unless it's fixed to address iran's missile program a tehran's other military activities in the region on monday on twitter he called the deal a mess and criticized the man who helped negotiate it former secretary of state john kerry along with the president trump advisor rudolph giulia

it is extraordinary that boris johnson cabinet room in number ten.in a newspaper article on the record as —— has called this crazy. there's the high—tech solution, then there is the customs partnership idea that is the customs partnership idea that is favoured, we believe, by theresa may, but the brexiteers led by boris johnson hate it because they believe it will keep the uk far too close to the eu after we have left and effectively stymie an independent trade policy. the decision has been deferred for a long time by theresa may. the choice was first announced in august last year, the brexit cabinet committee discussed at last week, couldn't come to an agreement, but time is running out for theresa may to call this and plump for one of those options to take into negotiations with brussels. in this interview i think borisjohnson was effectively saying if you go for that partnership option, i am going to walk. what about the house of lords, which today is tackling this brexit legislation? yes, the eu withdrawal bill which has been going through the ho

in a "new york times" opinion piece, boris johnson writes this, "at this delicate juncture, it would be a mistake walk away from the nuclear agreement and remove the restraints that it places on iran. i am sure of one thing. every available alternative is worse. the wisest course will be to improve the hand counts rather than break them. well, iran's president for its part warned the u.s. would come to regret it if it chooses to quit the deal. take a listen. >> if america leaves the accord. >> they decided whether or not to waive sanctions against iran. if he does not, he will be effectively pulling the u.s. out of the nuclear agreement. so let's get some perspective on the future of the iran deal. and we are joined now by gina reinhart. she is a senior lecturer in the government department at the university of essex. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> so britain's boris johnson will meet with the u.s. vice president and the national security adviser in washington this week. how likely is it, do you any, that he will be able to convince the u.s. to st

i think that's what boris johnson is talking about.haven't been able to agree on any of these side agreements. plus the iranians made very clear that it doesn't matter what else the euros might negotiate. they're not interested eed in renegotiating the deal itself. the deal stands as put and they want to keep it going. >> thank you both. >>> voters are heading to the polls today in trump country, west virginia, senate candidate named don blankenship who brags he's trumpier than trump. there are primaries about who can grab the trump coalition. why is the president telling voters to reject blankenship? a primary review next. hotel tha. ...your budget? tripadvisor now searches over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find a price that fits. tripadvisor. with dell small businessout your technology advisors you get the one-on-one partnership you need to grow your business. the dell vostro 15 laptop. contact a dell advisor today. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good? it's a bold blend
