his name, jonah shacknai. >> rebecca was completely full of life. she was a very enthusiastic person. >> reporter: rebecca had no idea what a catch she just attracted. >> jonah shacknai was absolutely loaded. this is the guy behind medicis pharmaceutical, which is the coca-cola of the medical cosmetics industry. a company ultimately worth billions of dollars. >> jonah, welcome back to the show. >> thanks, great to be here jim. >> reporter: shacknai was a star in the business world, known for his innovative products. >> medicis pharmaceutical fo the holy grail, they figured out how to create something similar to botox. >> reporter: but when he met rebecca, he says the attraction was much more than skin deep. >> we both loved to be outdoors, we were both workout enthusiasts. we both like clean living, clean food and things like that. just made it very compatible on a daily basis. >> reporter: the more he learned about rebecca's past, what she went through escaping burma, the more she fascinated him. >> i just had enormous admiration for her. just beca

and jonah said, "let's go."down the road from there. >> and then, i heard a chopper again. and that's when i saw the speck getting bigger. >> and we flew east. and i'm looking off to the left, jonah's got the road in front of him. and at that point, i'm scanning and jonah says, "i got them. eyes on." i look and i see someone jumping up and down in the road waving at us. >> and i was like -- they're coming for me! >> reporter: that's a good feeling, isn't it? >> yes. yes. >> next thing you know, i'm two feet from her, first thing comes out of my mouth was, "did you call?" >> he's like, "hi, did you call?" and just sort of a joke, you know? and all i could answer with was, "hi." and then sobbing, ugly sobbing. i was just like -- and holding onto him. and i feel so bad. because i was just like, human contact! >> reporter: did he hug you back? >> yes, he did. and then he was like, you know, put his arm around me and helped walk me towards the helicopter. >> reporter: the crew reassures amber she's going to be okay.

his name is jonah. he's the sweetest softest person i've ever held in my arms. the softness of his fur does not make me want to wear it, and i don't want anyone else to wear it except jonah because it keeps him warm. taking his fur would cause him immense pain, and i saw him scared when we rescued him from a tiny gauge cage in a fur far. i know that every individual on fur farms or confined in fur traps right now is an individual like jonah who feels pain and who wants to live. for me, i see the decision that you're all being asked to make today as a very simple one that boils down to the question, does san francisco want to support an industry that needlessly tortures and kills individuals just like jonah for no reason other than for humans to wear them as fashion, which it clearly is not. that's what i wanted to share with you today. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. good morning. my name is tanya. i am an organizer with direct action everywhere, and today i'm here to show my support for the san francisco fur ban. san francisco h

and jonah goldberg, senior editor of national review. wow.ot to start with a couple of new tweets from the president. he seems to be unloading again on mr. mccabe and the mueller probe. he said this, this morning. spent very little time with andrew mccabe, but he never took notes when he was with me. i don't believe he took memos except to help his own agenda, probably at a later date. same with lying james comey. can we call them fake memos? then he adds, why does the mueller team have 13 hardened democrats and crooked hillary supporters and zero republicans? another dem recently added, does anyone think this is fair, yet there is no collusion. eliana, the president has declared war on the mueller probe again. >> setting that aside for one second, i actually think that the president is doing great damage to his cause because the mccabe firing, from what we know, was recommended by career officials. the president stepping in to this is doing great damage because it is making it look like a political action. yes, it was ultimately decided by j

hill who is also in moscow jonah is it a stampede to the ballot boxes the polling stations have been opened just over what two hours now. yeah well i mean the central moscow polling station here it's hardly inundated so hell but they're doing pretty brisk business and have been for the last couple of hours and of course if that continues and if that's replicated that polling stations across the country that will be good news for the kremlin because the issue of turnout is perhaps the only or certainly one of the a few real question marks also about you can have a look at real question marks hanging over this election it's clearly not in question who is going to win and president putin will win another six years in power possibly he's lost certainly constitutionally anyway he's lost but what the kremlin cares about is the issue of legitimacy they want a high turnout to boost the legitimacy of his victory and a lot of effort has gone into enticements and and so on are polling stations around the country discount shopping vouchers and chances to in fancy cars and that sort of thing one

aimed at russia by the united states russia meanwhile may be looking for ways to calm things down jonah hill al-jazeera moscow. has got the nations to russian reaction after lawrence lee who's in moscow said more strong words from the u.k. prime minister how is this whole route viewed there. well i think i think there are some grounds for thinking that scene sems of the actual actual actions the russians would quite like this now to be over as jonah was suggesting in that reports having said that some of the words that are coming out of moscow today on the eve of the election here are just as extraordinary is the as the claims and accusations coming out of london and in just the same way that boris johnson the british foreign secretary said that in his opinion and himself it authorized this which clearly he can't prove in much the same way the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry has been to the t.v. here today to say that for a start russia has no nerve gas of a nerve agent of the sort that was used but of western countries like britain and sweden the power to do she said and t

that the kremlin is behind a nerve agent attack on a former russian double agent and his daughter jonah hill reports from moscow. after days of waiting it took nearly ten minutes for british ambassador laurie bristow to be handed russia's written response we gave russia the opportunity to explain healthy material to salzburg and we asked russia to declare that material that particular teach the organization the production of chemical weapons russia did neither therefore we announced certain steps russia today has informed me off the steps that russia will be taking in response to that. the decision to remove twenty three british diplomats from russia mirrored u.k. prime minister to resign may's own statement on wednesday expelling twenty three russian diplomats from london the countermeasures didn't stop with the expulsion of british diplomats from the embassy here they were as well what the russians would call asymmetrical measures to match to reason may's promise of looking more closely at the sources of russian money in the u.k. so britain's diplomatic presence in russia will be furt

who is in the russian capital moscow so jonah. lehrer office a couple of times said you know basically we are going to expel diplomats as well in response to what the u.k. is to and the logistics of that that actual concrete announcement has not come yet when do we expect that what why the delay. i don't know as the short answer why the delay to trying to guess what the kremlin is doing or is going to do next is a notoriously tricky business mr lavrov has signaled twice in today's intention to announce the expulsion of british diplomats he'll do it in his own good time i can tell you in the meantime though that dmitri peskov president putin's spokesman has responded to boris johnson's comments that you run just a moment there go directly accusing putin himself of ordering likely ordering the use of this chemical weapon on british soil dmitry peskov calling that shocking and unforgiving ball you know in circumstances like this and they have been plenty like them where the kremlin is issued accusations of wrongdoing by outside count

hill and jonah so everybody seems to be agreed that this is a shoo in pretty much for for president putin another six years at the top for him what does he need this election to do for him. well if you asked him that question as journalists did a little a little earlier when he turned up at a polling station to vote here in moscow they said. what sort of turnout are you looking for mr president he said i don't mind what the turnout is long as enough people vote for me and allow me to serve again as president that's his view the kremlin's view though and quite publicly so it is rather different they are looking for an extremely high turnout because they believe that turnout will lend legitimacy to what is a foregone conclusion that president putin will be elected to another six year term constitution because perhaps he's lost they want to see big numbers they've invested a lot of effort in trying to entice people to the polls a planned seventy seventy they want to seventy percent turnout they want him to win seventy percent of that seventy percent turnout they have enticements from a
