indeed many of them have so there's lots of different options open but they need to use everyone clifford clinton for this thank you. flown out to kenya and its capital nairobi where 60 percent of the population about 2 and a half 1000000 people live in cramped conditions in urban slums many relying on schools to provide meals for their children but those are now closed and food banks for the poor and homeless are rare in kenya so some businesses and n.g.o.s are calling on people to donate money food and goods for those in need. but with the arrival of the coronavirus in kenya a young group of volunteers set up an initiative to distribute food to those who can't stock up together with community activists they now do regular food runs in poorer neighborhoods around nairobi and consuming. we do light on donations from the public so we get donations and then we buy food in bulk. and repack them in smaller relief box which required sanitation and food packs so in the packs there's like 2 killers of flour $500.00 drums of beans red beans there's a 500 grams of sugar and. the mother islam house

like the prime minister himself, debbie clifford in cheltenham struggled with the virus in intensive she feared she'd lose her life. i can't tell you how i feel about the loss of, well, friends, the four people who died on my ward the day i got well, the fact i had to mentally say goodbye to people that i potentially thought i'd never see again. the lockdown can't stop. there's been huge suffering to people's health, but also to the country's wealth, many people are worried about making ends meet. by continuing with lockdown, are you telling the public that the economyjust has to wait? we mourn for every life lost, and we mourn for the economic damage as well that the country is sustaining, and the dreams that people are seeing shattered in their businesses, their anxieties about their jobs. we totally understand that. if we're to bounce back as strongly as i think we can, that we don't have a second bout of this, a second bad spike, because that would really do the economic damage. there was a promise, though, of a plan next week, and a hint of how a new normal might look. face cove

he clifford judge poe skeleton for justice scalia, work for senator john cornyn of texas and is a stalwart of the federalist society. this is a very long way of asking him, how does a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy why to book in support of class actions and plaintiffs lawyers? [laughing] >> well, thank you for the kind introduction, judge lee. [laughing] the reason that i think conservatives support class action is because were to ask ourselves what the alternative is. and the alternative was told to us in an amicus brief filed by the united states chamber of commerce in 2010, and this amicus brief really is what inspired me to write the book that you have in front of you today. the case with the supreme court is called at&t versus conceptual. i suspect many of you know about this case. the question was our class action waivers that are embedded in arbitration agreements enforceable? the u.s. supreme court said yes. my old boss justice scalia wrote the opinion and the court says you can ask someone to waive the right to join a class action so long as you do in arbitration clause
