if it is so good, as mr cruz says, then, why are they out on strike?ng, the pilots have said british airways is going through some good times, we want to share in those profits, just as we shared the pain in the bad times. the good times feel far away, with a fleet that will be grounded again tomorrow. getting back in the air on wednesday won't be simple. and if there's still no agreement another strike day is planned for the end of the month. stop this disruption comes on the back of an issue with the british airways computer system and it is all at a time when british airways is supposed to be celebrating its centenary. not much to celebrate. the two side say they want to talk but there are no signs of that happening. the pilots say they have lost trust in the management. thank you. our top story this lunchtime. boris johnson tells the irish prime minister he would "overwhelmingly prefer" to find an agreement with the eu — as the government confirms parliament will be suspended tonight. i can see you. and coming up... the moment this patient regained

mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator sullivan, senator cruz. >> thank you, mr.irman and i will say, thank you to my friend from alaska for sharing this deep void and longing in your heart. i want to reassure you for christmas you'll be getting the yellow sweater. [laughter] mr. slater i want to start with you. i want to talk about project dragonfly. in august of 2018 it was reported that google was developing a sensor search engine under the alias of project dragonfly. in response to those concerns, also but shareholders requested that the company published human rights impact assessment by october 30 of this year. examining the actual and potential impacts of censored google search in china. however, during awful but shareholder meetings june 19, the proposal for the assessment was rejected. an alphabet board of director especially encourage shareholders to vote against it. and also but commented that google has been open about his desire to increase its ability to serve users in china and other countries. we have considered a variety for services in china in a

it is completely illogical that mr cruz isn't sitting down and negotiating with us on this.ut at a block of flats in south—west london is now under control. over 100 firefighters are at the scene after being called to sherbrooke way in worcester park. the fire is said to have spread quickly to all four floors of the building. there are no reports of injuries. a former nurse from watford who felt so strongly about financial difficulties faced by hospices spoke to bbc london about the issue shortly before she died. lesley kinch was receiving care until she passed away, and she told us days before she died how staff at the hospice kept her going through good and bad days. there have been days where you would get a bit tearful and have a bit of a cry, but i wouldn't dwell on those. i would just think, yeah, ok, today is not so good. tomorrow is another day — get on with it. two trees in london have been shortlisted by the woodland trust to be the best in england. an oak on the north circular road close to chingford, is one of them, and a tree which was blown over in richmond par

unfortunately, we now have 17 innocent lives lost because of nikolas cruz. mr. slate how is a platform like youtuber, owned by google, not able to track down the ip address and identity of the person who made the comment? when did youtube remove the comment? did youtube report the comment to law-enforcement? if you did report the comment, did you follow-up? what was the process, and any follow-up to see if there was corrective action? mr. slater: >> it was a horrendous event. we strive to be vigilant, to invest heavily to proactively report when we see an imminent threat. i don't have details on this pacific fax you are describing. looking ahead, parkland was a to reachat did spur us out to law enforcement to talk about how we can do this better. that's part of all we reached out to work out with the regional intelligence center to make sure that we did have these good faith beliefs and we can go to a one-stop shop to get them to the right law enforcement locally rather than trying to have people. in the last month, there was an incident where pbs was streaming

cruz. my question is for mr. slater. how is a platform like youtube, which is owned by google, not able to track down the i.p. address and the identity of the person who made that comment. when did youtube remove the comment? did youtube report this comment to law enforcement? if so, who and when? if you did report this comment to law enforcement, did you follow up? what was the process? and was there any follow-up to see if there was any corrective action? >> senator, thank you for the question. first, it was a horrendous event. and we strive to be vigilant, to invest heavily to proactively report where we see an imminent threat. i don't have the details on this and the specific facts that you are describing. i'd be happy to get back to you. let me say this going forward. looking ahead, parkland was a moment that did spur us to proactively reach out to law enforcement to start talking about how can we do this better. that's part how we reached out and started working with the northern california regional intelligence ce

mr. pick goes have you really thought you're policy since the senator cruz asked about, i would call your attention to mr. baker's testimony on page two which says, a quote, we do not allow propaganda or any of these individuals to be shared on a platform unless they're being used to condemn her and for. it is that language instructive to your platform and don't you think that clearly it was readily evident from the beginning that senator on the camel in this campaign had posted that video to condemn and inform. >> i think this is an absolutely relevant issue, we have taken a more aggressive posture after the christchurch attack, we did see people posting both experts of the -- and the video to condemn it, and we would remove it, further attacks more recently in the united states were images have been posted to manifestos with large chunks of manifestos even when they are condemn it we have taken a decision to remove it, this is something that is conciliatory tension and highlights for us the complexity but again if you're going to care on the side of caution fewer violent threats and few

when i testified about this for senator ted cruz in the senate a few weeks ago, he asked the google represent why is mrprager's video on the ten commandments, why is that -- why did you put that on the restricted list. and with a straight face under oath the man from google which owns youtube said, because it mentions murder. judge jeanine: oh my goodness. has he watched television lately? this is crazy. the ten commandments are mature content? >> yes. i said to senator cruz, all right, we're going to make a google friendly nine commandments. judge jeanine: this has got to be frightening for you. youtube is a private company and it operates on private property. so what can you do about this? >> okay. so this is -- i am a big believer -- my entire life i've always said clarity before agreement. let's be clear. the most powerful by far -- i mean almost a monopoly on information is google/youtube. they are left wing organizations that want to crush us. they admit it. we have the video of their saying right after the 2016 election, an internal video that somebody took, we cannot let this happen again, this

former national spokesman for senator ted cruz's 2016 presidential campaign, and jonathan lemire, also an msnbc political analyst. thank you all, gentlemen. mr. lemire, start with you, the white house seems as if they are ready for a prolonged fight over this impeachment inquiry. what are you learning from your reporting and what do you expect we'll see coming out of the white house? >> last week they were caught off guard by the pure speed of this moment, of this story. unlike the robert mueller or russia investigation which took more than two years and was seemingly opaque at times and hard to follow. in various polls, the public went up and down what they taught about it. this one, it's a matter of days. we've learned a lot of information and this finally moved the house democrats to act towards impeachment. they've started the inquiry. the white house was scrambling, relying on the president's twitter feed and public comments as a means to rebut what's coming. there are now efforts to formalize that, as hans said. our reporting also indicates that they're looking to establish some sort of battle plan, whether it's a rapid response or som

mr. chipman. how does a pistol grip and barrel shroud make it that a mass shooting is able to kill many people? >> well, as senator cruz has demonstrated, the barrel of the ar-15 can get hot if you try to cook bacon on it. so imagine if you are a determined killer and firing hundreds of rounds. this would allow you to grip the firearm in a way to increase your ability to spray fire and kill more people. >> to hold on to the hot weapon and maximize the lethality. mr. chipman, can you provide our thoughts on the threat to law enforcement since you have been on both sides? chipman: the single biggest threat is how common now rifle rounds are, have been instituted and now handguns. traditionally, law enforcement were wearing vests to protect themselves from handguns that fired handgun ammunition, but it is not enough. the industry has purposely now created the weaponry to defeat bulletproof vests, and this is the biggest threat. there is a bill that actually ms. demings has presented that is trying to address this, and we saw it already this year in milwaukee where an officer executing a warrant has the vest on, but the sh

mr. chipman. how does a pistol grip and barrel shroud make it more likely a mass shooter could kill more people? >> as senator cruz demonstrated, the barrel can get hot and fry bacon on it. if you're a killer and fire hundreds of rounds, this would grip and ability to spray on kill more people. >> hold onto to hot weapon and maximize the lethality. mr. chipman, can you provide us your thoughts on the threat to law enforcement since you've been on both sides? >> the single biggest threat is how common now rifle rounds are -- have been instituted in now handguns. traditionally law enforcement were wearing vests to protect themselves from handguns that fired handgun ammunition that wasn't enough. the industry purposely has now created weaponry to defeat bullet-proof vests and that's the biggest threat. there's a bill that actually is-- presented that tries to address this and we saw it already this year in milwaukee. an officer executing a warrant has his vest on, but the shooter has an ak pistol and defeats it. >> i'm a mother and grandmother to a second grader and two grandchildren coming this year and through that

mr. cruz: mr. president, i rise today to give tribute to a great american, a great texan, a dear friend, and a 26-year veteran of this institution who has dedicated her career to serving the needs of her fellow citizens. her name is shea woodward hall. shea has worked as the west texas regional director on my team for seven years. she's now retiring. shea started working in the senate in 1993 when she was hired by my predecessor, senator kay bailey hutchison. as west texas regional director, shea started with 89 counties this her region. by land area, that's bigger than some states. shea could leave her office in abilene, drive seven hours north and still be in her region. that's how much territory she was responsible for. shea has always been willing to go the extra mile, literally. in her first three years working in the senate, shea put 75,000 miles on her car. in fact, she's put so many miles on her vehicles throughout the last 26 years that it's probably for the best that she married a local c
