d. c. allen, why has this happened? well, some people would say this is more symbolic, but it is quite significant as well. yeah. who has essentially been running donuts platforms and china since 2013. if you go back to 2005, they created a partnership with ali baba. and at that point yahoo started to be phased out. but because of the change in the law, on the 1st of november, yeah. who decided that the environment there was simply too difficult to operate any more. and so about 2 weeks ago, user started to see a message saying that from the viewer, the 1st, all of these platforms, all of these yahoo sites will simply disappeared. as you see, they're not the 1st to do that. in fact, linked in just a couple of weeks ago, decided that they were done with china as well. this is a pretty big decision when you think that there are 1000000000 users on the internet and mainland china. so that's a big market. that essentially you're putting on your caught and walking away from but linkedin like yahoo have said it's simply becom

d. c. allen, the u. s. does not have its 1st female president as such, but it stiller historic symbolic moment. she has presidential powers, it may just be for a very short time. this is came to standard procedure, george w bush did it when he underwent his a routine medical and also had a colonoscopy. when donald trump went to the hospital, you remember there was a saturday when he disappeared very quickly. heading off to walter reed. no one knew it was was a lot of speculation. stephanie gresham, who is his communications sexier, was his communications director route and her book that it was just for a colonoscopy. one, he didn't want people to know he was going through a colonoscopy, which is pretty standard procedure when he gets to his age and, and he's going from medical. but also he didn't want to say no over authority. well, joe biden will be talking about for weeks when is he going to get his medical? it's happening. it's happening at war to readers. were president school. and during the period whe

d. c. allen is moved by the white house and good china. and it comes at a time when it seemed like things were improving slightly between beijing and washington. well, this message isn't. it is a message from a bite white host that sees china as a threat to democracies in the area. certainly the taiwan is, is delighted by this the, the united states as a one china policy, which essentially says a, we recognize we acknowledge that china has a claim on taiwan, but doesn't recognize that claim as such. and that leads to some tension between beijing and washington. now it's just about a week ago that there was a bipartisan group who presented its report to congress about the relationship between the united states and china. one of the things, the very top of the agenda was the fact that they believed the people's liberation army. the chinese army is at a state where it could invade taiwan. and you'll remember that president g very recently said that if any has read lines were crossed, then they could take some drastic action during the summer

d. c. allen, as i'm talking to you know, it does seem like service activity on the floor of the house. just tell us what's happening right now, that what will happen a no, and we should get resolved very shortly. and it is going to pass the democrats of enough forts to get through a kevin mccarthy and the republicans wanted to block it. remember, this is the $1.00 trillion dollar bill back better bill. the whole idea of kevin mccarthy trying to stall it was he was seeing that it will explode the deficit and also will mean tax cuts for the wealthy, which is an odd thing for the republicans to argue against. but certainly that was his argument on the floor during that marathon speech thursday into friday. the congressional bosley office has scored this so essentially have gone through and said, look, what will this course they'll come out said, or course $367000000000.00 over 10 years, adding to the deficit. but the white house has said that they've got the figures wrong. we're going to take a lot more in, in tax revenue, particularly taxes on the wealthy. so they haven't quite scored th

d. c allen, thank you. china says it will stop people. he support taiwan and dependence from entering hong kong, macau, or it's mainland aging says those who support independence will be held criminally liable for life. the comments come after years and european union delegations, visits in taiwan and recent days. china considers the islands to be a breakaway province. we are really convinced that the more you have interaction between our international community m theory worm, the less done jurors the situation would be in the street. it's not a pro cation to come to k, one in pakistan, supporters of the tele, e le bike party, are still waiting for the release of their, the desired receipt, the t l. p. and the pakistani government struck a deal on monday to release thousands of the groups members were arrested stirring recent unrest at all. day march from law hor towards islamabad, resulted in the deaths of several police officers comalla hydra reports for muslim event. although it has been over a week since the budgets on the government

d. c. allen, a politically bad night for joe biden. he is now back in time and though can he use his influence to push through the 2 big bills, he won seeds, congress to deliver squarely touchtone washington just as glen young can was making his victory speech in virginia the noise you can't hear at the moment or the alarm bells that are ringing for the democratic party. they thought that they were going to win virginia. they thought they were going to win it quite comfortably. that was the state which in the last 2 got notarial elections has voted for the democrat and voted for joe biden overwhelmingly, just a year ago in the presidential election. but the last and the last by some distance . and the last because they lost the vote of many independence and many white women, part of the coalition that propelled joe biden into the white house. and the reason those alarm bells are ringing is that there are mid term elections just a year away. and that will dictate who controls the house and who controls the senate, and that could well di

d. c. allen. the government, as we've been saying, is taking these sightings very seriously. is there potentially a defense component here? all this new group has called the airborne object identification and management. it's synchronization group is not a catchy title, but i'll do exactly what it says on the turn. it's all about gathering the information in the past. the idea of u. f was, was considered very much a fringe issue. and if you went in and said, i think i saw you have 4, you'd be met with nodding heads and rolling eyes. this acknowledges on behalf of the u. s. government that there is something there to investigate now the commission to report and to the possibility of you air force that was published back in the summer. they had about a $144.00 site. things that were unexplained. many of these made by navy pilots, they couldn't rule out as something like a weather balloon. it could have been something from a foreign entity, perhaps a foreign government with technology that was beyond what the u. s. had. and so the feel this is a need that they have to investigat
