louise ballard said, this is my steven's victory. when i get to see men and women from all over the country who every single day get up and do a job, a job that's hard, a job that requires heart. few jobs, mr. president, are as hard or require as much heart as patrolling our streets and protecting our communities. this week together we honor the service and sacrifice of those law enforcement officers whose names have beened ad to the national law enforcement -- have been added to the nationaller law enforcement memorial this year and the hundreds of thousands, even millions, who even today, even tonight will be on patrol keeping our communities and families safe. with that, mr. president, i'd like to yield to the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, my colleague from iowa and partner in legislating in the interest of law enforcement. mr. grassley: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: i very much thank my colleagues from missouri and delaware for leading this effort to honor our law enforce

on our republican line is louise calling from fredericksburg, virginia. hi, louise. caller: hi. i want to talk about false narratives and the news media that which seems to be the going theme for months and months and months. for instance, the health care bilch they reported how 23 million poem are going to be kicked off the roles with no assurance but that's not true -- insurance and that's not true. the states have to insure those 23 million people. and that's what's going to happen. but we have this constantly. everything could be explained by the media but instead, they pick a little blush and they run with it -- blurb and they run with it. and they keep bringing it up meals on wheels. and as anybody knows, meals on wheels, my father-in-law applied -- he decided he was tired of cooking and he applied for meals on wheels. it cost $2.50 back then. and it was unedible. you would have been better off getting a tv dinner, cheapest tv dinner from the grocery store. so i think that the democrats have and really the news media in collusion have gathered to do a disservice to the cou

a busy afternoon, but we will catch up with the weather prospects for now with louise. hello.pretty much through the week. the clothes thick enough for a few isolated showers, not many around at the moment but we are expecting a few at the end of the way then to just steadily west. dutiful son over here, highs of 19 degrees are across parts of north—west scotland —— it is beautiful over here. through this evening bishara is drifting steadily south west, a little cloud kept across england and wales and in the north—west we keep the clearer skies. in rural spots, there could be temperatures just below freezing, a touch of light frost and maybe some mist and fog patches, but decent up here, lovely spells of sunshine yet again, which extends into north wales and northern ireland. always along the exposed north sea coast with the breeze coming in it will feel a bit fresher, a scattering of showers likely down through the essex and kent coast. on and off through the day, so top temperatures of around 10-15 day, so top temperatures of around 10—15 degrees. hello. this is bbc news. wi

good morning, louise.kies. but up the road, the la ke grey skies. but up the road, the lake district, beautiful. this is the dividing line. cloud to the south of the lake district, but to the north, blue skies and sunshine like the last few days. scotland, north—west england gets the lion's share. in the south, rain in the isles of scilly and into cornwall and across the channel islands. maybe some showers nudging into parts of devon but it looks like it will be predominantly cloudy here. between the two, cloud thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle. hopefully as the day improves, we should see brightness coming through and if it happens, temperatures will respond so not all doom and gloom if you have cloud at the moment. favoured spots for sunshine are parts of the highlands, into northern ireland and north—west england. a breeze coming in from the north sea and some more cloud. if the cloud breaks up. favoured spots close to the isle of wight and south—east, temperatures at around 18, 19. we keep the r
