anand menon and joe marshall.aving on october the 31st but the new president of the european commission has said she would consider allowing a further extension to that deadline. ursula von der leyen, who served as defence minister in the german government and is a close ally of angela merkel, was confirmed as the replacement for jean—claude juncker winning a narrow majority among meps. before that vote, in a speech to the european parliament in strasbourg, she reflected on the uk's referendum result three years ago. this is a serious decision. we regret it. but we respect it. applause. since then together, with the current government of the united kingdom, the european union has worked hard to organise the orderly departure of the united kingdom. the withdrawal agreement concluded with the government of united kingdom provides certainty where brexit created uncertainty. in preserving the rights of citizens and in preserving peace and stability on the island of ireland, these two priorities are mine too. however,

thurgood marshall the first african-american on the court, ronald reagan who put the first woman on the court. >> i think the question is more around the generational aspect of it, the experiences joe biden had in the senate with those good 'ol boys. it's a much different universe than where we are right now. >> you saw jim clyburn and other african-americans who are older in south carolina when you guys sent reporters down and asked do you guys feel offended by this? and many of them said no, we understood exactly what joe biden was trying to say. i think when you look at some of the struggles within the african-american community and you have single mothers who are trying to find good jobs to take care of their kids or you're looking at individuals who are saying i want to make sure that my kids have something better than what i had i'm not necessarily certain you're looking at this particular moment and you're automatically outruling joe biden. that's not to say the question should not be raised. we need you to explain this. but i'm not certain many african-americans are interested in relitigated. we want to defeat trump and we want to know how you're going to defeat trump and w
