democratic congressman gerry connolly is a member. i spoke to him just before air time. congressman connelly, the president said it doesn't matter what he said to the president of ukraine, whether he talked about biden eight times or not. does it matter to you? >> it should matter to every american, anderson. it is not okay for the president of the united states to talk to a brand-new, newly elected foreign leader, who has no experience, i might add, in the political realm or in foreign policy, and extort from him a pledge to dig up dirt on a prospective political opponent. that is not normal. that is not ethical. it is probably not legal. and none of us should accept that as the new norm in american politics. >> you used the word "extort." the journal is also reporting the president did not offer anything in exchange on that call. there are obviously large commitments by the u.s. that were being held up, military aid and the like, which has now been released. so after that call, the military assistance gets released. are you saying you think that would be a quid pro quo

a scary moment for the cornerback connolly. it on the top of his head. he was structured off, but he should be okay. that is a good note. >> the raiders are up 14-3 in the third. it could've been a one possession game. but deshawn hamilton dropped joe flacco pass in the end zone. here is the biggest play of the night for jacobs. he catches the short passing goes 28 yards deep into denver territory. in the raiders put it away on a short jacobs run to make it 21 to 6 and jacobs became the first rookie since the damien tom wilson to score twice and rack up 100 yards from scrimmage in his debut. the raiders win 24-16. still peppered with questions about antonio brown. >> is much as people talk about it, i mean, my god, feel like someone is smashing my temple on the side of the head. get over it. it's over. we were good preseason without him, we will be fine without him. >> we had a chip on her shoulder to prove that we are still a great team. we will just keep taking it week by week and see how we do. >> it obviously is a big distraction. it's on a lot of pe

aodhan (connolly, director of the northern ireland retail consortium— says fresh food supplies will berexit: the retail industry has long warned both the government and the public that no—deal would result in shortages of some fresh foods. we are doing everything that we can to mitigate for a no—deal brexit, we are stocking up on nonperishable goods so that consumers don't need to. but this no—deal brexit would mean, this is coming directly from the retailers, our members and directly from suppliers, that they will be disruption, and that will likely cause shortages for fresh foods, particularly items for things like fresh fruit and salad vegetables. at that time of the year when brexit is going to happen, we get around 90% of our lettuce and 80% of our tomatoes and 65% of our fresh fruit from outside of the uk. if there are complexities and delays, that means for those just—in—time supply chains, there is going to be availability issues. but surely that means we are not going to have the choice that we are used to? it will be a case of we will be able to have what we need rather than

connolly and sergeant buckner from written directives and drafting this d.g.o. before it came to you in january of 2018. just an overview of the major things that change with respect to this d.g.o. some of the major things are each general order is mandated to be reviewed every five years. we are really trying, the first five years are going to be really difficult, it's going to be an aggressive schedule for all of us, in order to refresh these ddo's. we are committed to tackling it. the language in the d.g.o. codifies the relationship between sfpd and dpa and drafting d.g.o. sound bulletins and they have two points of input formally. with drafting the d.g.o., we will go in and have a conversation with dpa and then in addition to that, prior to the police commission submission they have another chance to review it. and then for bulletins, the dva has an opportunity to weigh in and give their comments prior to police commission. another big change is that we are doing away with the ab and c bulletins. we this will essentially reduce the number of bulletins going
