this is new zealander scott donaldson.ch by lights and fireworks. and after two months at sea he had to be helped out of his kayak by his family. back on dry land he mustered the energy to say a few words. i need a shower. and he stinks! it took scott donaldson exactly two months to kayak across the tasman from here in coffs harbour, to where he landed on new zealand's east coast at nah—mow—two beach. he crossed 3000 kilometres of the tasman sea. here are some of his images at sea. scott paddled 16 hours a day. he was confronted by aggressive sharks and tackled six metre waves. at times, he said, he felt like he was paddling backwards. this is scott's kayak. he had to eat, sleep and go to the toilet in it. it was a tight squeeze, it's not even a metre wide. 0ne national new zealand newspaper described the kayak as being held together "like duct tape." they were not really convinced, but luckily it did hold together. scott had to attach himself to the kayak with a seat belt when he slept, incase it capsized. this wasn't sco

but i've discovered that this ad wasn't booked by jeffrey donaldson, or indeed anyone at the dup. so, let's have a look at this. here we have the dup. they were connected to vote leave. and here we have richard cook. he was connected to the dup. but richard cook appears to be directing dup spending. is that against the rules? potentially, yes. what was the actual sequence of events and the co—ordination that led to that rather odd outcome with a northern ireland political party booking a piece of publicity, a campaign document that would be available to the public that would go out in another part of the uk, in london, using money given to it by an unincorporated association in scotland and apparently arranged with the involvement of the person in control of that? that's a kind of weird mix of facts the like of which i haven't come across before. the electoral commission didn't know of richard cook's role in the metro ad, and said it would investigate. i wasn't aware of that and if that's a piece of evidence that you or someone else wants to raise with the electoral commission the

it took scott donaldson two months to make the 3,000 kilometre journey across the tasman sea, paddlingg a seatbelt in case it capsized. 0n the way he had to deal with both sharks and six metre waves. here he is speaking to the bbc after returning to dry land. there was one particular shark that was very interested in my rudder and we had a discussion for about half an hour, 40 minutes, he came in, went away very agitated, probably a bit lonely like me. nothing fragile out there lasts very long at all. the solo attachments got pounded. there is tons of water that smashed over that boat in the rough weather. you've got the whole range out there. you saw some amazing stuff and it was anywhere from a millpond, that didn't happen very often, to over six metres, i didn't measure it and some of the solar panels gave way. about four solar panels that got hammered off, basically. just wanted to take those down from affecting the rest of the solar but the integrity of the boat, it's carbon fibre, it's top grade, top—quality and really, and a coffin, it's about that size so it's just a case of pr

and we'll speak to scott donaldson, the first person ever to kayak,

he would constantly spar with sam donaldson. linta johnson with the dishonesty over what was going on with vietnam. grover cleveland wouldn't allow reporters into the white house. let's not forget president nixon, let us play the sound byte. >> i have never heard or seen such outrageous reporting in 27 years of public life. >> i mean, he didn't like the press. >> no. he goes back to so far we haven't if we want to cheer ourselves up. it's hard these days. we are not at the point of president john adam, the second president who made opposition a punishable crime. that's where we are in turkey and in other places. >> russia. >> absolutely. exactly. we are nowhere near that and oddly we feel those of us really, the lib tards feel upset about all that and feel the president and the right wing live in their own echo chamber. it's heartening. fox news and some of the best things that happened for a while, it did actually ex-tress solidarity. the modern world of social media allows all the people to live in an echo chamber and it does

. >> reporter: 13 year old matthew donaldson was boogie boarding off fire island when it happened.is his leg after being apparently bitten by a shark, and this is the tooth the emts pulled out of it. >> it was small, so i guess it was a baby shark or something like that. and it was a shark tooth. it was actually a shark. >> reporter: he was able to walk himself to an ambulance, but he needed help getting ashore from lifeguard bella cohen. >> it's incredible. there's never been a shark attack on fire island. all the older guys have never this. >> reporter: less than an hour earlier, half a mile away, 12 year old lola, with deep gashes in her leg. >> i was in shock almost. because like it pulled and i kind of looked at it and was like oh, my gosh. so it didn't -- it was like this. >> i seen her in the water like struggling. her head kind of up. and there was this commotion in the water next to her. >> of course there's reason to be concerned. >> the fire chief was there when the tooth was yanked out of donaldson's leg. this shark was pulled out of the water and officials are testing

it's still let's say is that what the vote but they're actually everywhere you can't go wrong well donaldson might be playing his cards close to his chest but there's now a general consensus about who's in the top three for the soon to be vacated supreme court seat first up is brant common he began his career as a clock to justice kennedy who's retiring at the end of the month the fifty three year old is popular choice for conservatives because of his stance on abortion immigration and gun rights and then there's raymond catholic she's a fifty one year old sixth circuit appeals court judge and he's seen as supporting originalism that's interpreted the constitution along the lines of its meaning at the time of enact them and forty six year old mother of seven amy coney barrett is viewed as the outside choice she's a former professor of law and member of the people of praise religious organization and a favorite among social conservatives let's go to john hendren he's live for us in washington obviously i was mentioning there may be four candidates in the running for this is there any sense an

last time i spoke to you about o'connor versus donaldson. fifty years after that in 1990, the supreme court decided a case, washington versus harper. this is about involuntary medication. a number of state courts had concluded that patients who are involuntarily detained because they are dangerous or are gravely disabled, due to mental illness, have the capacity to make treatment decisions. it has since been confirmed by the largest study ever, the macarthur treatment confidence study, that mental patients have capacity to make treatment decisions equal to or comparable to nonmental patients. other medical patients. so, not all mental patients, somebody has left their phone here. >> i did that three time on my t.v. show. isn't that something? >> as i was saying before i was rudely interrupted. you are funding citywide case management and you are funding forced drugging of patients for not even dangerous -- dangers due to mental illness, let alone lacking the capacity to give informed consent to treatment. this is not compatible with the rule

that is john redwood and kitty donaldson reporting.s the political reaction how about the investor reaction? monitoring their reaction to exit news. has entered detail. very important in that job. having worked with him in the housing department i've seen that firsthand. equally importantly, he's a sincere and logs set -- long-standing brexiteer. >> the soft brexit option seems to be the most likely. politicians will run up against the reality that hard brings it is a catastrophe. >> collective responsibility on the cabinet. she's allowed more to play but now the games are over and you have to stick to the government line. alix: joining me now is david sowerby joining the onset. cap, i want to get your take. how much upside is for sterling right now? it: sterling has not got that much upside independent of euro. willie look at the pound against the dollar i think that reflects sterling against -- the europe euro is up for tenths of percent against the dollar. that is a better indication of what it is doing independently. good news at t

[roll call] [roll call] [inaudible conversations] >> by this vote, the ayes are. 14, the nos are 9, the nomination is agreed to. >> thank you. if there are no objections, the committee will now voice vote is en bloc the nominations of the remaining three. so are there any objections? hearing none, the question is on the nominations of ms. donaldson, ms. evans and dr. fall. all those in favor say aye. >> aye. >> all those opposed say nay. the ayes have it, the nominations are ordered reported favorably. any senators who wish to be recorded as no on the nomination that we just favorably reporte

that moment, but what i would do in a situation like that is to pull the tape of questions that sam donaldson screamed at ronald reagan and go right through the last 30 years of the pool reporters asking can questions that presidents think are obnoxious or untorrid or disrespectful questions and point out that she was doing the job. >> this administration believes in the freedom of the press. president trump and our entire administration have provided exra troord their access -- extraordinary access, and the president answers so many questions in so many settings, and i assure you that we will continue to do that, but maintaining the decorum that is due at the white house is an issue that will continue to work for, but i am confident that whether it be with that network or any network or any members of the media that he that we will work in the way that the ensures the access of the american people. >> and on this day, she was the pool report, and actually representing all of us, and did you feel like kicking her out kicked out everybody? >> i would leave that decision to the white house staf

sam donaldson used to yell at president reagan.ough president trump's wranglers are saying let's go, he often answers the questions so the reporters will keep trying. that's what they do. >> dana: so what happened yesterday? you think after this little kerfuffle this is something that won't happen again at the white house? >> it's not clear why cnn's reporter was singled out. other reporters were shouting questions. cnn is probably the president's least favorite network. i don't know there will be a great change in business. the president wants to stop this practice, he can stop answering the questions and they will die down. i'm sure it looks rude and arrogant to people at home. it's a way to try to elicit information. you don't get that many cracks at the president of the united states. sometimes he enjoys the give and take even after his staff would prefer to cut it off. >> the president uses these skillfully. looks like it's chaotic. i think there's sometimes a method to his madness and popping some news out there. the presiden

. >> kind of like sam donaldson did decades ago. >> that's right. if they want to send me to hell, i'll still be shouting at the devil, is the way i look at it. we have a job to do. i've said this times before and i'll say it again. they can kick us out of the briefing room, out of the white house. we're still going to do our jobs. and my attitude is that we fill a necessary role in our democracy. the rest of the world is watching us. they don't understand how they can cause fake news and my response to all that is my goodness. are we supposed to sit back and no do nothing? my sense of it is that you have to push back. >> real quick i saw sean spicer is out pitching a tv show, a talk show. has he tried to book you? >> yes, i did get a request for that. we politely turned that down. my sense of it is is that sean has sort of crossed the line from, you know, being somebody who is a former press secretary to somebody who wants to resurrect his career and go on fox news and bash cnn. if he's going to do that, i don't think we should give him time to do

years without a court order, i might add. 45 years ago, the supreme court decided o'connor versus donaldson a landmark decision. it basically took the decision of who to involuntarily detain due to mental illness out of the hands of psychiatrists. before that, it was basically whoever they wanted to, they could shove into a hospital where the person might stay for decades. and rot. as a result, there was massive deinstitutionalization. people were turned onto the streets and became homeless because institutionization harms people. because psychiatric treatment disable them, make them unable to compete in the workplace and the other marketplaces on which our society runs. 15 years later, those psychiatrists i read to you about two meetings back said, well, we've got our own power grab. you've taken away from us the ability to send people into the hospital. we're just going to treat people as outpatients. and we're going to treat whoever we want! because as you know, it is highly -- it is highly -- oh, god. i'm sorry. my mind is just not -- my memory is just not working. madam. >> thank you f

what i would do in a situation like that, i'd pull a tape of questions that sam donaldson screamed at ronald reagan and go right through the last 30 years of pool reporters asking questions that presidents probably think are obnoxious or untoward or disrespectful questions and just point out that she was doing her job. so i understand that she was put in the penalty box. i would certainly recommend to my former colleagues that you take her out of the penalty box. i've said this consistently and i will continue to say this to anybody who listens, having a war declaration or having that level of antagonism with the president does not help the president, does not serve his interests going into the midterms or the elections. i understand the frustration and i understand his personality where he likes to punch back and be combative. what i think that also does, and i think you'll agree with me, it galvanizes the president vis-a-vis the white house. i was watching one of the press conferences where i think it was a gentleman from politico yielded to the woman from nbc. so what you're doing

that is a question that the supreme court addressed 45 years ago in o'connor versus donaldson. as i was saying, to watch what weeks ago, let me see if i can get through at this time. that decision signified that a psychiatric diagnosis is not a reliable enough criterion on which to base public policy yet you are funding citywide case management community focus for -- of the rate of approximately $1 million per week. that case was decided to be incompatible with the pledge of allegiance with the constitution of the united states and with the declaration of independence. you are able to get away with it because these patients are outpatients. they are not being held like children of i.c.e. they are being drastically and permanently deprived. >> supervisor cohen: before the next speaker, if there are any members of the public would like to address the board, step up to your right otherwise we will conclude public comment. >> good afternoon. i am a member of d.s.a. and member of the s.f. public bank coalition. i am glad i made it. i'm a little out of breath. i ran here and heard th

hearing none, the question is on the nominations of miss donaldson, miss evans and dr. fall, those in favor say aye? >> i. >> as opposed sign a. >> the eyes have it. are there any senators that wish to be recorded as no on the nomination we just favorably reported? >> madam chair, you recorded it as no on miss evans. >> you will be recorded as no on miss evans, other members? any members who wish to make brief statements about any of the nominees have been favorably reported? i would note in the interest of time, statements can be included as part of the record. seeing no comments, that includes votes and this business meeting is adjourned. we will now turn back to our fall committee meeting. i appreciate members being here so we can conduct this meeting. >>> with this, we will now turn to our full panel. we have a distinguished panel before us, and we will begin with you mr. sutter mori. he is from the energy market and he is the security director at the international energy agency. we welcome you to the committee. mr. robert mcnally who i mentioned in previous comment

bitten in rare attacks just miles and minutes apart off the coast of fire island. 13-year-old matthew donaldson was bitten in the leg, removed a fragment of that tooth and the tooth was given to experts to analyze. and guess what? they have confirmed, it is indeed, was, in fact, a shark. matthew, he is thankfully okay. we are told all he wants is that tooth back. a little souvenir. a little souvenir. >> i don't if you have a tooth fairy for that kind of tooth. >> no, no. >> he should try. put it under the pillow and see what you get. >>> back to ginger with more than 50 large fires burning out west. >> yes, their own types of issues and a lot more heat coming. the substation fire in oregon at least 50 acres burned. ferguson fire now only 7% contained in california. a quick look at what's happening. red flag warnings. and lots of heat settling in on texas for this weekend. >>> coming up, that new trouble for papa john's and its founder, the disgraced executive facing sexual misconduct allegations. >>> the new scare, multiple people attacked by swarms of bees in arizona and new hampshire, just af

most prolific at the art of the shouted question, former abc news white house correspondent sam donaldsonident, paul voelker said you've got to do better than a one-year freeze of the budget to impress the markets. are you going to do better than that? >> i'll be on the phone to him every day. >> saying you're not going to meet your own targets? >> maybe i'm keeping the target secret. >> fiscal '88. >> we're still working on the whole thing, sam. >> the trump white house claims they respect an open and free press. let's bring in tara dow del, business and marketing consult. joe conason, editor and chief of national memo and michelle bernard. joe connie son, i'll go to you first. "the washington post" reported donald trump has been venting about banning reporters for quite some time before his office finally did one. at various moments he's vented to aides about what he considers disrespectful behavior and impertinent questions from reporters in the oval office. he's asked retaliatory action be taken against them. quote, these people shouting questions are the worst according to a current
