what's interesting is people tend to forget that obama actually tried to prosecute a songe in chelsea manning as well but they actually decided not to because it was such a grave threat to press freedom so the obama administration decided not to do that so i'm hoping you know with the new administration maybe with all the appeals. that hopefully things will happen where. he might get some kind of not necessarily pardon but things might work out in a gentler way for him to want to last a lawyer and for mccown's if a new york city council thank you for your time. thank you. now india's prime minister new random nobody has won i landslide reelection victory with his party gaining a parliamentary majority and the largest democratic exercise in the country's history the prime minister has been celebrating his victory with supporters india has around nine hundred million eligible voters as the six hundred million cars that ballots know his main opponent raul gandhi has conceded defeat or trying to use it why don't they touch the candidate of the elite fails to make it in right. have a look at this simple g
