well former nato chief of staff mark simone called ski says it shows that russia is solidifying its control over crimea it's increased its nose very presence crimea so the economic element is critical without a bridge currently it is essentially isolated and increasing russian tourism and economic links to the mainland is critical so many ways is something that is expected but still violates international law the other piece about this bridge i think is critical is its military in a way that it correctly creates a choke point and hazard for creating shipping that this group was constructed an agreement with ukraine it would've been a lot higher and so many ways the russians are using this group's choke off ukraine economically just like they've created as a lifeline of crimea showcases russia's continued interest in undermining ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and also rejecting international sanctions that have been put in place against russia the international community rejects that sanctions and yes russia and it's not only crimea that's going to come under russian dominat

of course michael goodwin and mark simone join us tonight as we hope you will at the top of the hour,beth: you know what, lou? it is strike. first they were adamant about collusion. then no collusion. and then the democrats are adamant about bribery. now no bribery. lou: and now what are they adamant about? they are adamant about abuse of power, but it turns out that's been sort of dismissed, and then -- because the mueller report -- and then they are a little upset about obstruction of justice because the president and all of his administration, liz, they just want to go to court to assure their legal rights. only the radical dems think of that as obstruction. you can't make these up. elizabeth: lou, thank you very much. we will be watching. lou: thanks. elizabeth: do you want to live in a world where the administration like the obama administration subpoenas phone records and harasses reporters at the associated press, the "new york times," fox news, or the fbi under the obama administration launches espionage on a political opponent based on false accusations that were bankrolled b

columnist and fox business contributor, michael goodman and great american himself, wor are radio marks a simoneese polls on appeasement, the democrats have got to be got sick. they spent all this time running the scheme on the american people and to what end, they are going to be badly embarrassed, they have totally lost touch of the american people and here's what they don't know, the american people have figured out the posturing hysteric and coming up with one wild accusation wasted two years of our time, millions of dollars and when it turns out it's false, they do not apologize they move onto the next wild accusation. people see what's going on and see the bribery in the charges, and there's nothing there. >> i was struck by another finding, people don't think they're going to change their mind. so this is it, this is about as good as it's going to get heading south, slowly but surely it's not going to get better for the democrats so i think chuck schumer wanted to extend the trial, i think he would want to go in the opposite direction of let's get this thing over with. lou: the president

mark. thank you, simon. —— muck.orman smith. some disquiet at the politicisation of what happened on friday. i think also genuine surprise at the speed with which politicians seemed to seek to apportion blame, because in the normal time in the wake of a terror attack, i think most politicians take a conscious decision to step back and not to trade party political points. that absolutely did not happen this weekend, in particular we saw mr johnson in that interview on the bbc‘s andrew marr programme yesterday, unequivocally and directly blaming labour for changes to sentencing policy, which he said directly led to the release of usman khan. and certainly the tone and nature of his comments, i surprised many people, and indeed that led to press coverage which this morning prompted an appeal from the father of jack merritt, prompted an appeal from the father ofjack merritt, one of prompted an appeal from the father of jack merritt, one of the victims, to basically appeal to people not to try and exploit his son's death

mark name jesus' brothers. as well as james, there's joses, judas and simon alongside at least two unnamed sisters, but exactlyse offspring these other children are is still the subject of debate. >> for catholics, there is an emphasis on mary's virginity. she was not only a virgin at the time of jesus' conception and birth but also afterwards, so that's why i like to think of james, the brother of jesus, as probably a child from joseph's prior marriage, before he married mary. >> but not all christians are in agreement. >> the protestants would say there are other children that are the biological kids of mary and joseph, in which case jesus would be the older brother and perhaps the other siblings of jesus would have looked up to him. >> matthew 1:25 says literally, "joseph was not knowing her in the carnal sense until she gave birth to jesus." now, any normal reading of that sentence implies she went on to have more children after that, and his brothers and sisters are in fact his brothers and sisters. >> the bible tells us very little about the early life of jesus. >> the gospels really fast forward almost
