joe robinson has called a show real of ancient athens, the mythology, the history of ancient athens. so you cannot take these paces out and assemble them and nor should they be in they, they need to be re unified because quite simply, it is a unique monument. and it is representative of a culture and of a history that goes back such a little way that the people that created it. and it's just really imperative that it comes together as one to christian. i'm just looking at a page on the british museum's web site core contested objects from the collection as just take a look here. it's really interesting the way that the british museum writes about how the prophet m sculptures ended up in the british museum. i think it's an interesting narrative that they chose into to share with the public, but we happening bronze is, we've got human remains. we have an early show from australia, providence sculptures. is it possible that if the puffing of sculptures go back to athens, that then the pictures and will begin to lose what they value so much richer as well culture, an art that they feel?

why did jackie robinson, joe, continue to resonate? >> bill, i am having problems -- i hope, can you see me now? can you hear me now? okay, thank you. i was ready to press the panic button. jackie robinson is a man for all seasons. i want to thank you and peter for being the giants on which i stand to make my pitch for jackie robinson. i'd like to point out that my introduction to the new book was largely derived from bill rhoden's work and peter golenbock's work. i'm honored to be in their company, they are two giants. the giant in dodger uniform is jackie robinson. he is, unquestionably, the most transformative athlete of the 20th century. he was a four letter man, uniquely, at ucla. ironically, baseball was probably his weakest sport. football being his best. nevertheless, because of the barriers, racial barriers deeply impeded in american culture, jackie was unable to join major league baseball until he was a very old rookie at 27. playing for montreal and the dodgers one year later. jackie presented a image of moderation for the fi

robinson. this is all your life. and joe hop also coming up. a funeral was held for a 17 year old palestinian killed and an israeli raid in jeanine. at least for palestinian teenagers, have died in 24 hours. she knows him burkina faso for dozens of soldiers killed last month. the attack came days before the 2nd military crew since the start of the year and thousands of women march across the us hoping to encourage people to vote for politicians who backed abortion lights. ah, ah, we're going to begin in russia where traffic is once again moving over to crimea bridge that was damaged by an explosion. these were some of the 1st vehicles to cross the street bridge after we opened it's a road and ran link that connects mainland russia with the crime mean in peninsula not security. camera appears footage appears to show a huge blast and saturday morning rushes national anti terrorism. kimberly says it was caused by a truck bomb and the 3 people were killed. part of the road section collapsed in a fuel tank or chain on the rail overpass. you can just

joe. >> you look at all of these races. gene robinson, i think pennsylvania is tighter than the cnn polls show. at least the majority of polls show the senate race being two, three points going into the race tonight. wisconsin, tied in the cincinnati. we had seen a marquette poll showing ron johnson up six. that's probably well outside the margin of error. this wisconsin poll like all the others i've seen show it in a deadlock. ohio in a deadlock. the michigan governor's race, much closer than people around gretchen whitmer wanted it to be. we suspected it would always tighten at the end. the arizona race, that senate race, where kelly, some like his 2020 race, kelly was way ahead, now that race has tightened up. everything is tightening up, and it's tightening up on both sides. >> yeah, it is. there are things in these polls, not just the cnn poll, but others that can give heart to both parties. i mean, you know, ron johnson is an incumbent senator. it's very very hard to knock off an incumbent senator, and it looks like mandela barnes

joe: heart of the order coming up here. manny machado to lead things often. it's david robertson, a veteran of 34 postseason games. we mentioned it when he was warming up. robinsonames in the cardinals series. he injured his calf celebrating in the bullpen. missed the division series. bad enough where rob thompson was saying i thought there was no chance we would have him for this series. i thought if we got to the world series, probably wasn't a chance then. he healed faster than they thought. he didn't want to put him in a high leverage spot. >> joe: it's a big piece to pick up if he can get back to form. it adds to a three-man bullpen of success for rob thompson. this ads another piece. and trust me, if this thing goes seven, johnny holstadt will have to pitch. i know you can't plan for a series going seven. after today is a day off. they'll be challenged with a lot of patience and trust. there's no more days off barring weather. >> joe: that's the whole dance, right? you get into the five days. how hard do you go for it to win each individual game. how much of an eye do you keep on game six and seven. >> john: it different than a regular season. you don't gi

joe." it's friday, october 28th. along with willie and me, we have former white house press secretary jen psaki, and jonathan lemire, and eugene robinson joins us along with presidential historian, jon meacham, his new book is titled "and there was light," abraham lincoln and the american struggle. a great group this morning. joe is of but we have a lot to get to, willie. >> elon musk is officially in charge of twitter. the tesla ceo closed the deal last night, purchasing the social media giant for $44 billion after the deal closed, musk fired four executives, including the ceo and cfo, the head of legal policy, trust and safety who reportedly led the team who decided whether or not to ban then president donald trump from the platform, ultimately did. musk has said previously he would reverse that ban. the moves came just hours before a deadline set by a delaware judge to finalize the deal by tonight. the new york stock exchange notified investors it will suspend trading in shares of twitter before this morning's opening bell in anticipation of the company going private. musk is expected to speak to twitter employees directly later tod

joe is misinformed on a lot. and also when we signed that bill, who was standing right by me, chair robinson, the chair of the republicanty. -- democratic party. it's a great bill and i think it's in great shape. >> congressman? >> i agree that the two weeks of early voting is a good start but i think we need to end your mentoring. again, it's ripping apart our democracy. every person should have every bit of confidence that their vote matters. and i've talked to so many people throughout our state who say, i voted in this congressional seat and this senate seat but i don't know that matters are not because this scales have been imbalanced. politicians have put the thumb on the scales. career politicians like governor henry mcmaster. i would have vetoed that bill that cut up our mass -- our maps and gerrymandered. it's one of the worst gerrymandered maps in the entire country. straight ticket voting needs to be eliminated, needs to be done away with. it only increases partisanship and the devices -- divisiveness that we are seeing is a direct result of that. >> you have backed president trump, where do you agree or disa

. >>> along with joe, willie and me, bbc news, katty kay, joouj eugene robinson, and jonathan lemire, host of "way too early." >> one of the worst interviews i've ever seen of a leader. she was stammering around when she was asked, are you going to be leading the conservatives into the next election. it was like she had swallowed a marble. i don't know how the torys keep her in there. how many points are you behind labor now. >> when your premiership is compared to lettuce, you're not in a good place. the economists said she had the shelf life of lettuce. they watch it degenerate and watch how long she's going to stay in. that's not a good look for a premiership. yes, i'm going to leave them indefinitely, and she couldn't even answer the questions without these long pauses. i mean, as a projection of confidence, that was not what the tory party, certainly her premiership was leading to, and the party is now -- i mean, it's so interesting from this side of the atlantic where it's so hard for republicans to speak out against donald trump, they are starting to come out publicly and say s
