why did they give him a medal for his work, a medal of appreciation right after donald trump clinched the republican nomination for president. i don't know why the fsb gave him a medal. here's one last thing that you want to hear. in the case against maria butina, accused of being a secret federal agent working for torshin on this russian influence operation in the u.s., one of the things we learned in the charging documents is how she spent election night for 2016. according to online conversations the fbi says it obtained, just a couple of hours after the election was called for trump, maria and torshin discussed online who trump was going to nominate as secretary of state. a couple days later, according to the fbi, butina sent torshin a message who she predicted might be the secretary of state and she asked torshin

a medal at the pyeongchang olympics. bobsleigh, figure skating, and wheelchair curling are the other three sports to be "tra nsitioned off funding". it is difficult when a sport is so dependent on public funding and that's why we are being sensitive in terms of the transition out of funding but it is a policy that has been successful in terms of growing the medal success of british court, olympic and paralympic sport to inspire the nation. and after the disappointment of an early exit from the world cup with egypt, mo salah as signed a new contract with liverpool. the premier league top scored a new five—year contract with the champions league finalist. plenty more tennis here today.

away from the big bad really we have high motivation to perform we have the chance to win a medal. at the world cup which only one other english team has ever done the england manager is not planning on making many changes in saturday's clash so with both teams almost at full strength fans can expect a cracking match in st petersburg. style you mentioned that both teams are kind of coming into this a little bit disappointed whoever wins this match will belgium and england see this as a successful world cup. yeah i think regardless of what happens today and certainly will feel very positively about this world cup they have progressed further than they have at any other world cup since one nine hundred ninety and nobody was really expecting them to do it certainly the fans i spoke to before the tournament thought the round of sixteen or maybe the quarter final was kind of the limit i think wins ambitions there's a feeling as well that they're really on to a good thing at the moment with the coach gareth southgate and this kind of young bunch of players who will relish playing for the
