certainly, l the southport problem with the tory party at the moment and john major mentioned this inople ofjohn major plasma generation. he is getting on now, he was in power 20 years ago, and i think that's the issue here with the concern about the way the party is behaving. being a conservative now and what is a conservative this is what ever boris johnson says it is from day to day because the idea of what being a tory was in the old days, low tax, not spending heavily, covering your bills, that kind of thing and even john major would argue other things that those issues don't seem to be important for this government at the moment. john major is totally anti— sleaze and anti— lobbying and that is the problem. for peoplejohn major, and people in the grass roots, they don't recognise the party that it has become since 2019. sorry to interrupt you but the idea of there not being one rule for the government and one rule for everybody else, that is ageless, isn't it? whether it isjohn major's area or now. ijust wonder whether this will be a reality check for borisjohnson and for his go

john major's comments really matter, he is a former tory prime minister, there aren't many of those,s, they count. in number ten, they will know he supported jeremy hunt - in the leadership campaign in 2019. he hated brexit, he campaigned i against brexit, or the way it turned l out, and it matters what he says. and he knows how damaging smears can be to a government. his government was brought very low in the '90s by sleaze _ |and that is a concern and mps right| now are meeting their constituents, speaking to them, finding out how it went and, - ifjohn major is right here, - it is a worry for boris johnson. there is a real lessonj learned here, ithink. this concern about arrogance, an overbearing nature, - trying to boss parliament about, it really was a clash _ between the executive and the legislature - and borisjohnson's - government came off worse. but he is very loyal and what drove this was an idea to bring _ in an appeals process to the way mps are dealt with, but equally to tie - that to the owen paterson case . because there's a lot of sympathy of sympathy amongst his frie

on saturday morning, john major went on the attack. >> i think the way the government handled that wasd wrong and unworthy of this or indeed, any government. ros: also on saturday, minister george eustis contested his conclusions, but offered this concession. >> ros: -- >> government has already made this clear that wi hindsight, it was a mistake to bring at through on the timing that we did. ros: this was not enough for the leader of the opposition who had drawn this conclusion. >> instead of upholding standards, he orders his mps to otect his mate and rip up the whole system. that is correct. it is contemptible. and it is not a one-off. ros: as we have been hearing, the conservatives dispute this characrization. as part of our effort to hear their perspective, here is my colleague tweeting, we asked over 60 conservative mps w voted to pass his suspension to speak to us today. almost all said they were not available, declined to come on air or did not respond. we talked to one who did agree and that mp was richard graham. >> there was an emotional feeling that we owed it to him to pur

now we've had john major come out, very critical of the handling, and this is significant because he government was really tainted by allegations of so—called sleaze in the 1990s. his government had to resign for the so—called cash for questions scandal where mps were paid to... in the house of commons so he's really come at this from the own perspective and experience and earlier today told the bbc that what boris johnson and his the bbc that what borisjohnson and his government had done a trashy reputation of parliament. i've been a conservative all my life and it seems to me as a lifelong conservative that much of what they are doing is very un— conservative in its behaviour. there are many strands to this that go well beyond the standards committee of the last few days and there is a general whiff of we are the masters now about their behaviour. it has to stop and it has to stop soon. that phrase, we are the masters now, really interesting because boris johnson talks continually about levelling up and not about getting a separation between the people in government and people ever

energy production other by john could bring in more investments and gain political leverage in its region. but this could also threaten its relationship with russia, a major life, and one of the world's biggest energy suppliers. john says it is not competing with moscow, but some, i don't say there could be geopolitical complication from the existing monopolistic supplier. also, as i said in the beginning, uses it's supplies of energy to year for g o political reasons for geo political inputs. we see that right now, right now when russia has not deliver gas to gas storage facilities in europe throughout the summer, and has decided not to do what it normally does, which is increase supplies to europe when you're asked for more. because gus problem in russia are trying to pressure the european union, their concerns russia dispute with ukraine and other european partners, could these stab allies in or just supply? russia provides about 45 percent of the european union, natural gas, ne, but demand is growing, and it appears russia can't or won't keep up. look at what is happening in terms of energy, security and some fluctuations of energy. prepped prep provi

european countries are facing an energy crisis as supplies, especially from russia declining as a by john and major oil and gas supply in its region wants to feel that gap sent him because olu reports from becker. this other bay johns economy is phil wyatt, gas, and oil production the country and has that on europe's energy crisis. it says it has a supply to easier it's growing demand. we are already just substantial, if not very serious player in the turkish market in georgia market in the u. markets of greece, italy, and bulgaria. but we have huge interest from the side of the others from the eastern european countries from the broken countries from central european countries. much of its natural gas supply is exported through what's called the southern gas cory door, which runs from the caspian sea through parts of georgia, turkey and then to europe. as there be john's production is small compared to big players in the energy game. but with this gas corridor, it is ready to carry other resources like gas from madison to the you going after a bigger piece of the market by increasing its energy pr

but you must know major generalships in the regular army are not as plentiful as blackberries. despite this, his victories along the mississippi were enough to promote john pope to major general march 21st, 1862. pope's service in the west was not done. pope would immediately take part in the following campaign of the siege against cornyn. now, during this again illustrated one of the personality traits we learned about, insubordination. during the campaign, pope would advance his column too quickly. and advance the strickture of moving no faster than the other elements of the union army. and he'll disobey an order by ordering an attack during the campaign about four miles east of corns itself. this new trait that has emerged, constantly disobeying orders, including, not expelling one of pope's tools to promote himself. henry haloc had ordered the remove of the press during the campaign and pope has again been insubordinate. he enjoys boasting of himself and gossiping about himself to the media and the press. he was no doubt an able man and a good soldier but he talked too much of himself and what he could do and ought to be done and he indulged, contrar

mccain and warner, john warner, major fishback wrote, and i quote, i've been unable to get clear, consistent answers from my leadership about what constitutes lawful and humane treatment of detainees. i'm certain this confusion contributed to a wider range of abuses, including death threats, beatings, broken bones, murder, exposure to elements, extreme forced physical exertion, hostage taking, sleep depend operation and degrading treatment. i and troops under my command witnessed some of these abuses in both afghanistan and iraq. major fishback's courageous letter shed light on the atrocities that were being committed. shamefully in the name of our nation. and he felt that he had, quote, failed the servicemembers under his command. the reality is our leaders failed major fishback. in the wake of 9/11, the bush administration tossed aside our constitutional principles as well as the geneva conventions. by condoning torture, they dishonored our nation and actually endangered our servicemembers. after reports emerged from horrific abuses at abu graib in

transfer major general john pope to the regular army with his present rank as a token of gratitude to illinois. give one of her sons a position in the united states army who has so gloriously achieved the just reward we ask for him. now lincoln has become accustomed to pope's personality and his relentless ambition. one of the things handled these dell indicate situations is he does it in a folksy carpal. it's very plain and eay to understand, but firm. he writes back to these benefactors, i fully appreciate general pope's splendid achievements with their invaluable results, but you must know that the major general in the regular army are not as plentiful as blackberries. despite this, his victoies a along the mississippi were enough to pressure lincoln to promote pope to major on march 21, 1862. pope's service in the west was not done. pope would immediately take part in the following campaign of the siege. during this campaign, pope would again illustrate one of those personality traits that we learned about. during the campaign, pope would advance his column too quickly and disobey

the quote from john major last week was he was worried it was the politically corrupt approach to governmenthink they have to live by the rules so why should anyone else? anyone you talk to in countries that are very, very corrupt say that is the beginning where it becomes normalised. if they can get away with, you know, doing what they want and breaking rules, why can't anyone else? so i think there's a danger that it provides the social fabric here and that is very risky for increasing corruption. i think the other thing i'd like to say is that, you know, actually the whole match other really strong democracy is independent regulators in what was really damaging about last week's attack on the independent regulator was it looked like it was trying to undermine that and we need independent regulators. in fact, lord evans himself said we need strong independent regulators. we need several of the standard regulators to be given better power is independent regulators what was really damaging about last week's attack on the independent regulator was it looked like it was trying to undermine tha

one of the instances that was referenced by john fortier with a white winning in a black majority case and congressman andrew young won a white majority district in 1972 which is 49 years ago so it's not the first time this has happened and that was in georgia as well. but he's running in one poll and gets herschel walker, former football player in georgia who has support from former president trump. that has a potential of being another nail-biter. nevada is a biden two point plus state. cortez has led in a single public poll over former attorney general, who is a son and grandson of senators it turns out and that looks like a close race to me, a seriously contested and good test for senator harry reid's organization in getting out the vote at those culinary union members in las vegas. one problem of democrats i think the toughest race is in new hampshire which was a seven-point biden state and bigger biden majority but governor chris sununu has been leading maggie hassen in multiple polls since august, something averaging out about 47, 41 which is a bad sign for an incumbent. both fi

so it's financial a literacy mixed with state sponsored propaganda over there at the major american networks lawyer john little is well acquainted with the federation's history. his made it his mission to fight for justice for the victims of sexual abuse in sport. he has worked on countless cases in sports such as gymnastics, diving, fencing and field hockey. but there have been more lawsuits against usa swimming than against any other federation. well these are, these are the stuff in swimming. this stuff is pretty old. this is 8292. which guys i cannot keep track of all the swimmers that have called me over the years. there's too many, john has all kinds of documents in his files such as this confession from 1986 signed by a coach. i read curl, do declare of my own free will and volition that i have had sexual intercourse with minor kelly m davies. rick caroll was one of the top american coaches. his victim was 15. despite the lawsuit. 8 years later he was appointed coach of the year, and he worked for another 26 years before finally being sentenced to 7 years in prison. littles files also include a d

yesterday we had a cabinet minister saying was a storm in the westminster teacup and we had john major saying that this government was politically corrupt. if the prime minister doesn't turn up today, does that send a message to the public, to the press, that he doesn't really think this is a big deal? certainly the opposition parties will hope that is how the public perceive it. that is why keir starmer is hyping up this as a big event and demanding the prime minister is there. the problem is that the parliamentary procedure behind all of this does not make this a set—piece event. this is an emergency debate triggered by the opposition parties and there is a vote, but it is a procedural vote saying the debate has been held and it doesn't bind the government to do anything. it's not a proposal to change any rules or anything like that, so borisjohnson could make the argument that this is just a lot of talking and not a lot of doing, which is why i come back to my original point that all eyes are on the speaker because in this process today, he is the one that has the power to change th

to throw everything under the sun, and major policy changes, john, in a bill that no one participatesepublican, and it was never designed, reconciliation was never designed for major policy changes. i sat in bob bird's seat and he put the bird rule in. >> can i ask you one thing, is there a rule that says republicans can't vote for this? >> not at all. not at all. but they know when there is no participation you're not going to get either side. the same is we didn't participate in the tax cuts in 2017, john. it was all done with republicans and we, democrats were all against that. don't you think we ought to be able to come to agreement to fix the tax code. >> i'll come back to the build back better agenda in a moment. i want to stick with the lessons learned from the election if i can. abigail spamburger, from virginia, democrat, said of joe biden, she says nobody elected him to be fdr. they elected him to be norville and stop the chaos. what do you think about that? >> i think he can do that. i really do. i believe in president biden. i still do. he's a good person. he's here for th

john lyman is from the fire department here. we majorn. so i'll just give you a quick brief and i'll answer whatever questions i can answer. we'll ask for comments or anything the chief can fill us in about ems and all that. around 12:51 today, we received a 911 call of an active shooter at the high school. the deputies responded. we received over 100 911 calls. the deputies took a suspect in custody within five minutes of the original 911 call. they recovered a handgun from the suspect. the suspect fired multiple shots. there's multiple victims. it's unfortunate that we have three deceased victims right now that are all believed to be students. we have six others that were shot. one was a school teacher. all at local hospitals being treated for various injuries

john, this is becoming a major standoff between meadows and the select committee. what can you tell us? >> don, what we know is donald trump has no interest in the truth, in the rule of law or the integrity of american democracy and that attitude filters down to his team. we saw that in their conduct after the election. we saw it on the january 6th insurrection, and now we see it in their blanket resistance to the congressional inquiry here. so what they're trying to do throw up legal obstacles, try to drag out the effort to drag them in for testimony as long as possible. if they're shutout the first time then they try to appeal. and if they show up, not talk and count on the fact that the justice department may not be very fast to bring criminal contempt proceedings. you know, you were talking in the last hour with john dean and making the analogy to dean's testimony against nixon and wondering about whether meadows might do the same thing and all the wrath that would fall upon him. john dean decided what would happen in the ninety-sixen white house was wrong, and

i'm john roberts in washington, making the final pitches to voters and some predict could have major implications for the midterms. >> sanda: as democrats could be in for voters. and they think the country is on the wrong track compared to only 22% heading in the right direction. >> john: kicking off our one of "america reports," joining us in moments with his analysis, but we begin with alexandria hobbs life at the richmond, virginia, where both candidates are campaigning today. hi, alex. >> hi, john, both back in the battleground territory, youngkin with the rally behind us, a booming one. yesterday they were on opposite sides of the state. and the campaign here in northern virginia speaking to the past accomplishments as the former governor, most impressive for the schools, and called his republican opponent dangerous. >> endorsed by trump now nine times, just had his ninth one and tomorrow we will have a little telecom, but i guess that it will finally go through here. >> he is talking about a tele- rally that president trump will be hosting tonight for glenn young can, and not pa

john, thank you for that. all right. let's get a look at your traffic on this tuesday morning. no major issues or delays heading from the east bai as you're traveling. >> into the city to that 3 months to exit a little under 10 minutes for your drive time this morning. the san mateo bridge heading across towards the peninsula. you can make that trip a little under 13 and the richmond, sandra fell commute traveling at a richmond across towards sandra fell traffic picking up a tad bit. a little under 2 minutes to make that drive. the golden gate bridge about 20 minutes traveling from the north bay into the city will have a weather and traffic coming up. for now, let's get back to the news. well, in the east bay oakland police are investigating another couple of shootings that happened within about 5 hours of each other. latest shooting involved a mother and a daughter who were shot while inside their home kron four's. dan kerman has that story for us. >> another violent weekend in the city of oakland at 1030 sunday night. a woman and her 11 year-old daughter were shot well inside a home i

growth in the number of african-americans but especially in seats that are not dominant majority minority. karlyn: john, thank you very much. there are certainly a number of lawsuits pending. when do you expect redistricting to be finished? john: well, it almost is never finished, the lawsuits continue past the first time we draw the map and they continue all the way through the decade. we are at the beginning in a sense, i think we have seen at least the first drafts of a majority of states and we have some sense of what they're going to look like, but our elections are coming up. we have primary elections that have to happen next year, so the real final work of the, however the legislature or the commission going to drought lines are going to happen in the next two months, but you're right, there may be some challenges as well, perhaps some primaries pushed back. we really have to have some lines in place preferably by the spring for those primaries or sometimes there are later primaries going forward. we're within a few months of knowing at least the early outlines of that. again i think we will exp
