infrastructure was part of the soviet infrastructure, one way or another, czechoslovakia was ruled by the communist party, the majority of the party leadership was either connected to moscow or was ready to be connected to moscow, there are enough speeches from the fact that the long-term leader of socialist czechoslovakia, the general secretary of the communist party of czechoslovakia, the president of czechoslovakia, gustav husak, was one of the main reformers of the supporters of the prague spring, but when he heard that the situation in power was changing, he swore to the same soviet leadership that began the occupation of his country, other members of the montenegrin party leadership, they were afraid of pressure from moscow, so they wanted reform, they didn't want changes, but they worked in the dough for years this kind of cooperation with the communist party of the soviet union, it can be said that they owed more to this communist party in power, because it was after the soviet troops occupied the territory of the future socialist countries of eastern europe that one was called liberation from hi

vladimir putin has invaded europe under his watch, and now the communist party. china is threatening the speaker of the house of representatives and taking over taiwan itself, this is what happens when leader in the white house of dogs. now the news is simply

of ukraine, stanislav goryenko, they supported the communist party of ukraine found itself inficult situation because the rebels in moscow had already been arrested at that time, the ukrainian communists were afraid on the one hand of the new russian leaders boris yeltsin and his associates, and on the other - the streets that were seething and demanding lustration for the company, meanwhile the opposition had already agreed on a text the issue of the declaration of independence was only in the queue for voting on the agenda, and then suddenly the national democrats hesitated and put forward the idea that if we were the first to vote on the declaration of independence the company will remain, we hand independence to the communists. here is a sheet from levko lukyanenko's notebook, the first draft - the most important document in the history of ukraine, but look carefully at the crossed-out sentences, they speak about the essence of the debate that arose in the democratic state of lukyanenko, who in the democratic opposition represented the dissident the more radical wing , ini

they didn't know they were talking to members of the chinese communist party. at's where you see the tentacles of communist china stretching further and deeper into our institutions that people understand. i think the biden administration is asleep at the wheel on this and also, perhaps, doesn't want to be awake because of some of the issues that you raised. >> sean: you mentioned members of congress using think tanks. i was a member of congress for nine years. you are right. we have small staffs. our budgets are small and we are dealing with a massive government and important legislation. so oftentimes we look to think tanks to say hey, could you help me out? could you help research, give me some ideas? every single member does it if you are partnering and looking to a think tank that's actually taking money from the ccp the chinese communist party and you don't know it, the chinese government, the communists have a pathway through the at this tank right into congress. how do members know where the idea comes from the think tank, from my perspective, liberals a

people who were members of the party, i will not say that they were communists, but they had party ticketsn fact , there was nothing in the participation of communist bosses in national revival movements at that time unusual in lithuania, the first secretary of the communist party, algerdasbrazauskas, was one of the initiators of the creation of saidis and then the first president in the post-war period, however, after the 1990 elections, the paths of the union republics broke up in lithuania, the saidis received two-thirds of the vote and formed its first independent from moscow in ukraine without communists, in the first relatively democratic elections, the communists won the baltic republics, they were from the moment of the collapse of the russian empire in the 17th year, they developed as democratic until the 40th year states, that is, the period when the communist system destroyed ukrainians with all its might here and there was much longer than the period during which the baltic countries were destroyed, although the communists held power, but this power was no longer a monopoly . c

speech, competition and together with all this they voted for the communists, but that is not the case, they vote for authoritarian parties only when they establish a dictate simply at this fork in history where the chinese communists destroyed the democratic protest in the square, the term gorbachev went the other way maybe because, unlike the chinese communists, the soviets were under the pressure of a huge number problems not only economic but also national. gorbachev did not understand these problems in the literal sense of the word, he did not understand a lot of things in general. i was very afraid of the use of force of such a great and most important responsibility of the use of force . he was a man who wanted power and wanted to be in the encyclopedia at the same time. i think that thanks to that, when they began to restore order in the soviet union in order to keep it unchanged, gorbachev and his supporters lost and precisely therefore, independent ukraine appeared on the political map of the world, but gorbachev was not a supporter of this appearance, and it must be said that he did everything possible until th

keep in mind that beijing has never controlled under the communist party as never control taiwan. and so this is a matter that needs to be peacefully resolved between beijing and taipei. but i think if anything, if china overplays it's reaction and misinterpret speaker polosa visit, which by the way, she has every right to make. it may not be the wisest decision to make right now. especially since the u. s. is very much caught up in the nato response to russia's vision of ukraine. probably not wise to pursue a 2 front r geo political crisis. but it speaker policies decision. it represents also the will and support of many american people. but as childrens towards taiwan, but you have the military say, it wasn't good timing this at all. oh that president biden stated, and we don't know what exactly was communicated, that he was advised by the military, that this would be an unwise decision, but that's president biden statement. we don't know what the military is actually decided, but we do know that to protect our members of congress, we've seen a significant deployment of naval as

to agitate to join the communist party.er these events, it means that i believe that the applied and therefore, we would like, we would not like this fact happened. and the consequence of pyatnashka is our division, which was born in the fourteenth year and some kind of spirit formed ideological guys who realized that the russian world smells here and we need to help the dream cafe is the closest position to the neo-nazis. here, here is our front line, about fifty meters away, we volunteers of kamchatka of the far east to karelia had 3 nationalities, nothing neat in that it’s just sit down fascists, they did everything to ensure that we have peace. how can we stay away? it it is simply impossible to find russia, i think that all of ukraine should become part of russia. we all took ours. and where, for example, is a slap in the face to those who were against us, so that the battalion would be disrespectful. fifteen is on the side of good premiere today at first dasha is better yes atmosphere shoulders the atmosphere of camar

he succeeded in getting a lot of the communist party hardliners to agree to give up their power, also in the coup of august 1991. so he was canny. but in his own way, he was naive and utopian. he dreams of turning a country that had never known democracy into a democracy. and i think by the time he died, he realised he had moved too fast and russia might take, i know he believed this, he wrote it, russia might take the entire zist russia might take the entire 21st century to end up in some kind of democracy. i 21st century to end up in some kind of democracy.— 21st century to end up in some kind of democracy. i guess you had a ringside _ kind of democracy. i guess you had a ringside seat _ kind of democracy. i guess you had a ringside seat to - kind of democracy. i guess you had a ringside seat to what - had a ringside seat to what developed later in his life, tell us how he came to these realisations?— tell us how he came to these realisations? well, he came to them by experiencing - realisations? well, he came to them by experiencing the - them by experiencing the break—up of his pr

he was forced from power at the end of 1991, on the one hand by the hardliners of the communist partyt how it wasn�*t clear whether he had moved too fast or too slowly. 0r or maybe just right. i think toward the end, we came back to that subject and he said he had moved too fast. too fast for a country that wasn�*t ready for everything he wanted to offer it. iraq�*s president, barham saleh, has addressed the nation after nearly 24 hours of violence that�*s left dozens dead and hundreds injured in the capital baghdad. mr saleh said that he thought early elections could help resolve the high political tensions. iraq has had no functioning government since inconclusive elections last october. caroline hawley reports. in the centre of baghdad, a second day of deadly violence. here, a rocket—propelled grenade being fired. the worst fighting iraq has seen in years. the country�*s political crisis erupted into street battles on monday. supporters of the powerful cleric moqtada al—sadr, who gained the most seats in elections last year, against rival shia factions backed by neighbouring iran.

does not meet with chinese parliamentarians, with ministers, and with representatives of the communist party is expensive, it is very difficult to count on the fact that someday this position will be accepted by ukrainian, therefore an ambassador is definitely needed and as soon as possible . to the undisputed understanding of this word as we are used to it. you see, and as it was, for example, in the soviet union, this is communism, which nevertheless allows itself trade with the whole world , an understanding of what it can give the world and what it can be . it can be the level of cooperation , uh, china remains very dependent on economic ties with the united states, well , that is, to say that they are completely isolated like the gdr there, for example, well, we can't either, it means that trying to feel some points of contact is at least possible and make sense arthur, do we close this page for ourselves, do you understand when the chinese state snakes began to work in the occupied territories of ukraine and film mariupol and when they began to actively interview for chinese propaganda

and they worked to fight against the chinese communist party. and now, for the white house to be injecting hesitation and to do praising this, the state department to be trying to refrain this, it is an appropriate. we need to be there to support taiwan and taiwan's independence. >> harris: so it's taken some days to get clarity on exactly what china would do. now they are firing live firing missiles around airspace, and we artie knew they were perched on the waterways around taiwan. now that we know they are willing to engage their military in this way, unprecedented it's being called many decades. what is, exactly, the white house's position? because they are not saying what it is. is that all so dangerous? >> marsha: it is very dangerous. less indeed it is. we cannot let china or russia or iran or north korea what i call the new axis of evil, we cannot let them dictate foreign policy to us. the weakness of joe biden in this administration, the hesitancy they have had dealing with the chinese communist party is causing issues domestically for

she writes in part in face of the chinese communist party's accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation could be seen as an unequivocal statement that the u.s. stands with china -- with taiwan and defends itself and its freedom. what do you think about the statement in light of her trip? guest: this is this hyper, ideological viewpoint, call it extreme neoliberalism. it has gotten us into a bad place. we have fought for what, two plus decades to bring democracy and human rights to afghanistan. what did it get us? it is worse off than ever before. many americans died many more afghans died. we have seen this over and over again. in vietnam, we were supporting the territorial integrity of vietnam. there are so many examples of this. taiwan, if you know the history -- americans are by and large ignorant to the history of taiwan. which is a shame, we might be fighting a war over it. china's claim is pretty good, they controlled the island well before american independents. that goes back pretty far. i would not want to compare china's claims to taiwan to our claims to their easte

a humanitarian convoy was assembled by a park of cells of the communist party throughout russia, labor moscow region, residents of donbass zaporozhye kharkiv kherson region will receive more than 100 tons of payload for 8 years for the party. it has turned into a routine, already sent more than 15,000 tons of food, medicines and building materials, but today there was an jubilee convoy to see off. the entire leadership of the communist party of the russian federation arrived today, sending the hundredth convoy bowing to our military. here support the political leadership are obliged to remember the three tasks must be solved. the first complete defeat of the nazi bendery pack complete the second task is not to give american to assert its peace. so with the americano , this is worse slavery will meet the task of preserving the russian world, the russian world is donbass and lugansk , this is dnepropetrovsk zaporozhye, this is nikolai kherson, this is odessa. the russian world is russian ukrainian belarusians. these are measures, this is it. he must be saved from this misfortune of a mul

in fact, all the leaders of the communist parties of the communist party of czechoslovakia at that time, who were invited in quotation marks and summoned to the russian table in the soviet capital of moscow, signed this declaration, only one did not sign francis krygel or the bureau of the central committee of the party. by the way, our compatriot is from ivano-frankivsk, he was born in ivano-frankivsk. then austro-hungary, how do you understand the empire, he then moved to the territory that later became czechoslovakia, he stayed to live there, and already in the morning, he did not sign this statement; moreover, there was an attempt by him to arrest and only then the leaders of the communist party of czechoslovakia proved to be courageous people, they said that they would not go home if france, that krigl was not released, and he was released with other members of the delegation to czechoslovakia . to compare this position of france , chikarigel, with the position of what jan did, the famous czech hero burned himself as a sign of protest against the occupation, but such cases after al

victory, of course, will definitely be ours, especially with such support, the leader of the communist party gennady zyuganov personally inspects the cargo. in soviet standards, they make the best quality, pork, beef and a full set of well send letters from schoolchildren to residents of donbass to soldiers and officers, but the bulk of the products. this means more than just solidarity and support. this means that we are together with them, that we are doing a common cause, that we are fighting for real the world that we are against e american globalism, which has turned ukraine into krasnodar for its military aggression. we are doing everything to secure the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the local branch of the communist party, and public organizations. no one gave aside the court and the convoy of exactly 100 tons of cargo has been sending such assistance to the donbass since 2014 . in this machine, sweets, cookies, sweets, and here are sets for schoolchildren, which are so necessary by september 1 for schools in the liberated territories. books and tutorials are badly needed. there are

we're not going to lead the chinese communist party dictates for the speaker of the house should go. as the speaker of the united states house of representatives, you should never have to ask a foreign dictatorship or the state department for permission to talk to america's friends and allies. hello, she'd lead l if house speaker nancy pelosi visits taiwan. it will grossly interfere in china's internal affairs severely undermined china's sovereignty and territorial integrity trample on the one china policy principle. gravely threatened the peace instability in the taiwan strait and undermined china us relations. it will lead to various serious situation and consequences. in this context, nancy pelosi decided that she should go to taiwan at the same time, there's a new bill put forward in the u. s. congress that critics say would essentially nullify the one china policy when it comes to taiwan. our response should be that we are for democracy and against communist aggression. we live in dangerous times. china sizing up america and our commitment to taiwan. the danger will only grow wo

what's behind it is you have the chinese communist party looking to destabilize the country by killing kids, and president biden is there in a political speech and finally mentions the word fentanyl. the parents can't believe it. they are angry. it's a rally, september 17, parents from around the white house, they can't believe this administration is ignoring the worst crisis we've ever had when it comes to killing our kids.

the soviet communist party has not faced a serious internal threat to its political rules since the 1920s. yet after years of forced sacrifices by the population shortages of food and clothing persist housing remains inadequate intellectual and artistic expression are stifled and growing corruption reaches into all levels of society. the soviet people respond with public displays of cynicism, but they almost never openly challenged the authority of the leadership. the soviet regime does not hesitate to enforce its rule through the violence suppression of individual liberty. but it prefers to use less ownerous methods of control such as various propaganda techniques. the use of propaganda from cradle to grave by the kremlin has helped to ensure at least the passive acceptance of its rule by the soviet people. the soviet regime disseminates propaganda through a vast network operating under the supervision of the party's central committee and politburo. this propaganda network encompasses over 4,000 newspapers a large book publishing empire a nationwide radio and television system and an inc

cargoes for this humanitarian convoy were collected by the park cells of the communist party throughoutes of the enterprise and the moscow region , residents of donbass, zaporozhye, kharkiv, kherson regions, will receive more than 100 tons of humanitarian aid in 8 years for the party. it has become a common thing sent already more than 15,000 tons of food, medicines and building materials. but today there was an anniversary convoy to see him off, the entire leadership of the communist party came today, sending the hundredth. the convoy bowed to our military. here support the political leadership are obliged to remember the three tasks must be solved. the first complete defeat of the nazi bandera sphere. complete the second task is to prevent the american from asserting their world. so with the americano this is worse slavery will meet the task of preserving the russian world, the russian world. this is donbass and lugansk, this is dnepropetrovsk zaporozhye, this is nikolai kherson the russian world is russian ukrainian belarusians. these are measures, this is it. he must be saved from t

inside china there are strict laws forbidding mocking and questioning the chinese communist party.a, dissent does not go over well. do you feel in danger? do you feel unsafe? >> well, this is actually my daily routine, that i will receive death threat on daily basis online, on my social media, twitter, instagram, direct message. >> he knows as an artist poking the chinese regime, he risks retaliation, both against himself and his family back in china. for years he hid behind a mask in public, working incognito, guerrilla style, both in australia and any time he traveled. he adopted a pseudonym, that has no real meaning. how many people know your real name? >> if you know then you know my real name and if you know my real name you don't know. >> when the chinese figured out the real identify three years. >> he went underground but he took off the mask and continued to hurl darts at the regime. in this recent cartoon, he confronts the reality of accusing a former vice premier of sexual assault. >> i want to be an inspiring figure. i want my art to helping others to collecting courage

and of course, they blamed the communist party. we heard from political analyst, alexander ra, who says that garbage have lost control of his own reforms and the communist party . i would say that until 809 go back for many things in the soviet union on the firm control. some very good ideas had been implemented in, in the reform and reform process in the soviet union. we had glass and this will be destroyed, or russia or the soviet union image was improving. and the relations with united states in the west were improving from week to week. but in the 90 and 91 thinks were seen of course very difficult and different. and i think that that, that in these 2 years, where were periods were go a bunch of horse running after events. he was not increments of politics anymore corps which was reacting and not acting. he was prepared to pay almost any price in order to receive the needed credits from outside. he saw the distributors ation of his own country. he had lost already control over eastern europe, and he was losing control of his ow

he else in band the communist party and publicly humiliated coverage of you. so yeah, you're sure you should. shortly afterwards, the soviet union was dissolved in december 1991 mikhail gorbachev announced his resignation. his attempts to regain political ground in the new russia failed. many russians held him responsible for the demise of the soviet union. but while his own country turned its back on him, gorbachev was hailed around the world as the man who helped tear down the iron curtain and bring about a peaceful revolution. i'd like to welcome e wayne mary senior fellow for europe and eurasia at the american foreign policy council. think tank in washington, d. c. h is been 26 years in the u. s. foreign service, including at the embassy in moscow. at the end of the ussr, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us because gorbachev was the last leader of the soviet union. and we've just heard some of what made him a towering figure of the 20th century. what do you think his legacy will be? i think at the moment, given what's going on in the war

we are doing everything to secure the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant local branch of the communist partyt wing no one was left aside the hundredth convoy of exactly 100 tons of cargo, the communist party of the russian federation has been sending such assistance to the donbass since 2014 in this candy sweets cookies, and here are sets for schoolchildren, which are so necessary for schools in the liberated territories by september 1. books and tutorials are badly needed. there are applications for places. here, just the day before yesterday, i was talking to the people of kherson. they need you for schoolchildren for first graders . yes, there is nothing to enter the school with at all, because if the old fascist textbooks. well, literature, yes, or what happened today from russia is now asking that the loading of goods for shipment begin, carefully selected help for families and for those who are now at the front. this is noodles, doshirak, quickly cooked, which can be useful in the trenches, help will go directly to the hospital. yes, yes, and in the hospital and in the school, the comm

he else in banned the communist party and publicly humiliated coverage of you sell the yo, yo sure you should always. shortly afterwards, the soviet union was dissolved in december 1991 mikhail gorbachev announced his resignation. his attempts to regain political ground in the new russia failed. many russians held him responsible for the demise of the soviet union. but while his own country turned its back on him, gorbachev was hailed around the world as the man to help tear down the iron curtain and bring about a peaceful revolution. and have been tributes from leaders around the world for the former soviet leader and russia. a spokesman for vladimir putin said the president expressed his deepest condolences to gorbachev's family, un chief antonio quoterush said he was deeply saddened by gorbachev's passing and described him as a one of a kind statesman who changed the course of history. european commission president was a hunter line. meanwhile, said gorb, which has crucial role in bringing down the iron curtain, opened the way for a free europe. and the foundation of former u. s. pr

he else in banned the communist party and publicly humiliated gorbachev. you sell the yo yos your issue at all was shortly afterwards the soviet union was dissolved in december 1991 mikhail gorbachev announced his resignation. his attempts to regain political ground in the new russia failed. many russians held him responsible for the demise of the soviet union. but while his own country turned its back on him, gorbachev was hailed around the world as the man who helped her down the iron curtain and bring about a peaceful revolution. what eat wayne merry spent 26 years in the u. s. foreign service, including at the embassy in moscow at the end of the u. s. s. r. he spoke to me earlier about garbage hubs. legacy. i think at the moment, given what's going on in the war and ukraine, perhaps his greatest legacy is that he let the soviet union fail without spilling a lot of blood to try to preserve it. now he did accountant, some bloodshed in lithuania, some in georgia. but when it really came to the question of, are you willing to use massive tours to preserve

but the lack of will of gorbachev and other leaders of the communist party of the soviet union actuallyoy the soviet union, therefore i want to say that we are not alone, not only, uh, the countries of the post-soviet space. those who are members of the cis are with us now on international platforms, of course, the united states is already processing it. eh, they are trying to work all the countries so that they act, so to speak, as a united front against. uh, primarily the russian federation but the africans others say, you know europe is not the whole world. that is, we will not give in. we would like to cooperate and cooperate and will not let ourselves be urged on, so let's just say this is quite difficult right now situation. and i think that it will m-m develop with all, with all, as it were, efforts. uh, the west, uh, still, uh, hmm , these centers will gain strength, uh, which will form the u polycentric world, uh, and, in which, uh, the republic of belarus you know what is interesting, because in this polycentric world. e yes, we are geographically located in europe and it woul

so, as the head of the office, you say the following: the ban on symbols associated with the communist partyt past is a violation of the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly on the part of the ukrainian authorities, it was already when soviet symbols were banned by legislation in ukraine, it was when in 200 already after that. so, when in 2009 there was a resolution of the osce on equating communism and nazism and the decision of the european parliament, what do you think about this statement and whether would you make such statements now after february 24 or would i make them now no i wouldn't make them now in short i would n't make them now but going back to the communist party everything else cannot be said about the party because it is political party and this is a slightly different dimension. i would like to say about the symbolism, i spoke in peacetime and this must be understood by me. well, it was not already peacetime, it was already a war, but it was not a full-scale war, and it is very important to me how ukraine looks on the world stage unfortunately , very few p

the first game has already taken place, the participants were greeted by the chairman of the communist partydy zyuganov, he noted that many directions are represented in the sports club of the party, but futsal is especially popular today for this seventh tournament. 30 teams arrived, and our guest of honor, the team from the dpr, essentially arrived from the battlefield, well, they retain the will of courage. there is no victory from this. i believe that we are setting an example today. how is it possible even in difficult crisis conditions to form the will, the spirit of victory and educate young people in the best traditions of the russian soviet school and the bird of education he was called the most charming sparkling skeptic of our literature loved for a living sharp language and admired his freedom 90 years have passed since the birth of vasily aksyonov, one of the brightest authors of the generation. during the thaw, he wrote about his time, but overstepped its boundaries, becoming a classic book for several generations. aksenov has been translated into many languages, and his biogra

for the communist party, it is very important for the communist party to retain its internal politicalto the fact that china will be able to give these correct narratives about that now the whole world is against russia and china, they want a solution , a conditional solution, he does not want to undermine this stability. well, this is what we in ukraine are saying now, china and we say, russian says with generics what did you say there, the ukrainian crisis? well, they are really called the ukrainian crisis, although he publicly also called it a war, that is, they understand everything, but they have their own internal agenda, which is not supported in order to control society, and that is why in he has such a position, well, about the chinese , that is, the chinese, china does not have eternal allies or does it have anyone, and thank you for explaining the subject , petro shevchenko, ana, who is a graduate student of the department of international economics of zelin university china and let's move on mykola eh zamikula with us senior research fellow of the esu mykola we congratulate

we will not be deterred by the threats of the chinese communist party. what do they want going forward? i mentioned some initiatives we can take to improve our foreign military sale process to taiwan. for example, my understanding is the harpoon anti-ship missiles that they've purchased aren't scheduled to be delivered until 2028. that's too late. we need to expedite the delivery of critical systems particularly missiles and mines in order to help taiwan defend itself. i believe we've entered the window of maximum danger here and the pla will make a move. >> i don't mean to cut in. i watch history being made for the second time like this in a quarter century for our nation to send a high-profile leader to taiwan. and you tell me that it is going to take until 2028 to deliver something that is critical, harpoon missiles. we already know the company that china keeps. three watching to see what russia has been able to do against ukraine even though we're sending them billions of dollars and weapons and everything. is that a smart calculation and true friend

but the lack of will, in fact, gorbachev and other leaders of the communist party of the soviet unionowed, uh, to destroy the soviet union , so i want to say that we are not alone, not only uh, the countries of the post-soviet space. those who are members of the cis, uh, are with us now on international platforms, of course, the united states is already working on trying to work on all countries so that they come out, so to speak, as a united front against. uh, primarily the russian federation, but africans are different they say you know europe is not the whole world. that is, we will not give in. we would like to interact and cooperate and will not allow ourselves to be urged on, so let's just say this. this is a rather difficult situation right now. and i think that it will m-m develop with all, with all, as it were, efforts. uh, the west, uh, after all , these centers will uh gain strength, uh, which will form a polycentric world, uh, and, in which, uh, the republic of belarus you know what is interesting, because, uh, in this polycentric world. e yes, we are geographically locate

you can stop this if you get tough with china and we can stop this the chinese communist party communistty locked down cities when need to and ongoing and so could mexico if we were tough enough and serious about saving our young people. >> kayleigh: but we have a president that is not serious and he likes to talk a lot. in fact, he's taking action but let's listen to the president talk. >> they see their neighbors and lose the loved ones to drugs like fentanyl, which is a flat killer. my plan will make sure the state and local governments adopt reforms. my plan to something else really important. it addresses the opioid epidemic. how many people are dying of opioid overdose is now? we will impose tougher penalties for deadly fentanyl traffic. that is poison across the country. >> kayleigh: brett, let's take a look at the plan. 2018 he wasn't present but a guy named president trump wa was, 669,000 fentanyl over deaths. the first time it has come down in 30 years. president biden takes over 108,000 deaths but what changed between 2018? speak with the administration doesn't know what he's
