dance classes to learn the steps but also to get to know each other they mustn't overstep the mark thompson has to be contactless with 3 metres of social distancing. so how can that work. she has to memorize a lot more so that she can follow me. you have to work on the technique yourself because you haven't got a partner to show you how to do things or tell you what to do you know. these solo dances and making the best of the situation even though to an outsider it can seem a bit soulless. i much prefer dancing with a partner it's easier to chat and you get to know each other so much better than even not my can. teach you how to convince that even dancing in the distance to form like this is worth it for the moment. the cans if you like from their friends they share a joke together. each other only i am with them when something goes wrong i laugh about it it's all part of the fantasy and if they can get close enough and in any case this is not a long term solution we all know that most get through it with a snap. the next class is for 27. feet but there's no flashing of the rules. these cou

i'm joined by mark thompson, good to see you again. i want to get right to it.r analysis of what we heard from donald trump jr. we all watch this stuff. anyone watching us right now has probably seen some of it on tv or online. in 2020, the president's son felt the need to speak about the police killing of george floyd. take a look. >> what happened to george floyd is a disgrace. if you know a police officer, you know they agree with that, too. but we can't lose sight of the fact that our police are american heroes. they deserve our deepest appreciation. no matter what the democrats say, you and i both know, when you dial 911, we don't want it going to voice mail. defunding the police is not an option. >> mark, your reaction to both a political world where this individual, trump junior, was pushed to say something about the floyd killing. and then whatever else he said. >> i think everyone knows how horrible that killing was. but when they speak that way, when donald trump jr. says those types of things, who i believe earlier in the day, i think if i'm not mista

. >> as our live continuing coverage goes on tonight, christina greer and mark thompson join us, as well as victoria. good evening to all of you. professor, what did michelle obama's speech mean tonight for those who may have been watching? >> i think she laid out a clear case of what the obama/biden administration did as far as listening to science and scientists, and having a level of compassion and respect for the american people. and she laid out that the last three-plus years we've seen, we've been managed by a man who has been faking his way through the job. and she underscored the idea that we need empathy from our leadership. and finally, giving people the tools to go and vote. she walked us through what is happening with the postal service, why it's so important for us to utilize the power of the vote, and how to do it and bring others along to do so, because the election is so important, and the president has made it clear he will lie, cheat, and steal to stay in office. >> let's play another portion of michelle obama, taking on trump. >> donald trump is the wrong president for

the airport division now is, quite obviously, assistant deputy chief mark thompson. he has a list of daily activities. he's been hitting the ground running with a lot of new situations down there, obviously, but the business is picking up with the more flights, more people traveling. he had a total of 209 dispatches in the month of july, and 95 medic dispatches. he's been moving forward with the training and also securing equipment. here's a picture of our new a.r.f. rescue apparatus. it's one of three that's going to be delivered. it's massive, and after covid, i suggest we all go down there and take a look at it because it's a very impressive apparatus. homeland security, assistant deputy chief cochran is unfortunately unable to be here because of an injury, so our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to him for getting well quick. one of things that he does besides what's listed in the report is the many inspections throughout the city. so he visited with his team, the lake merced pump station. it's a very important station. it's staffed 24-7. it gives the city

marking the anniversary, he did not apologize or acknowledge the japanese war-time atrocities in asia. due to covid-19, the ceremony was scaled back to only 600 attendees this year. former illinois governor james thompson, known as "big jim," has died. the republican governor was first elected in 1976, and re-elected three more times, making him the longest-serving governor in illinois history. before his election as governor, thompson washe u.s. attorney for northern illinois. he led an investigation in 1972 that uncovered massive voter fraud and resulted in 83 indictments and 66 convictions or guilty pleas. thompson had been suffering from heart problems. he was 84 years old. for the latest national and international news, visit www.pbs.org/newshour. >> sreenivasan: the trump administration announced this week that it had finalized the rollback of an obama-era climate rule on methane emissions. for more on what that means, i spoke with tim puko, who reports on energy policy for the "wall street journal." tim, tell me, what are the regulations that either we're passing or rolling back? what's the change? >> there were rules that the obama administration had approved back in 2016 that required oil and

our business presenter ben thompson has been taking a look at the figures. as you would expect a company like markss has seen a slump in sales but building on some of the lessons it learned during log in. at the head of the pandemic, what marks & spencer did, because some of its sores were meant to stay open —— able to stay open, those selling food, staff were able to multitask, perhaps they worked in homeware, and then working in the food section. that was a revelation, they were able to multitask and they want to do more than that. some are in the head office, some regional management, thejob head office, some regional management, the job losses, head office, some regional management, thejob losses, many in the shops themselves, 7000 announced today on top of the 950 already announced. we are chopping differently fundamentally, the rise in sales in big out—of—town stores, in town centres and city centres the retailer is struggling to get people back through the doors. so much so it has told us it has taken on stock storage space, a significant amount to put stock into stores to sell next year bec

thompson. ben, this is because presumably even more of us are shopping online? yes, you're absolutely right. a pretty neat summary of the challenge facing marksing as it has to readjust to life after coronavirus. and to do that, it says it needs fewer staff and it will make those cuts over the next three months. 7000 announced today, the top of the 950 announced earlier in the year. that makes it about 10% of the year. that makes it about 10% of the workforce that will go. the jobs are split across the business. some will go in head office, some will go in regional management. but also, some in individual stores. that, they say, is because during coronavirus they came up with new ways of working. they asked staff to be more adaptable, to multitask to work in different parts of the business. maybe somebody who worked in the food department before it is now also working on the clothing department, or the home department. they have said that was quite a success they have said that was quite a success and they want to continue doing that. hopefully they won't have to make forcible redundancies. hopefully they will do it through volu nta ry hopefu
