mrs. boylan. the reason for the meeting is that there had been a number of employee complaints about her. the attorney general's report omits what those allegations were, what was said about mrs. boylan, what the recommendation was from the empire state development agency, why. why didn't they put that in there? when mrs. boylan was confronted with a number of complaints, she immediately and voluntarily tendered her resignation. she sent an e-mail throughout the chamber. she was resigning. you want to know what happened four days later? she called the governor's council and said she wanted her job back. the governor's office declined to give her her job back. she then reached out to the governor to personally intervene. she e-mails his assistant, asked to speak with them. he didn't return her call after consulting with a number of people. why didn't the investigators put this in their report? particularly when two weeks after she started her campaign she was leading the public to believe a false story. that she left because of sexual harassment and a bad work environment. when in fact she

mrs. ford. and at that time, they had this orchid that is an orchid that was unnamed but that they had produced,nd they asked if mrs. ford would allow them to name that orchid. and this is the result of that effort. it was by far most complex of any first lady hybrid today. it had an exceptionally long lineage comprising seven generations of breeding and -- [inaudible] and i think, to be honest with you, i think that truly reflects mrs. ford; kind, compassionate and when she walked in the room, she'd make a statement, and i think the orchid certainly respects that personality and that character of betty ford. you know, mrs. ford had been such a role model for many of us, a role model for the women and the young a ladies of this community and of this nation really. and is we're so excited and honored to have been able to continue that tradition and to provide the supplies for the ford family. president ford died december 26 or 27th, and flowers were hard to get, you know, and to receive. we had to fly in a lot of the -- so we heard about this orchid, right senate we work very hard with people. th

mr. rosen had to tell us preceded that event. week in december and the first week in january when the president was making his full play and threat to mr. rosen that we discussed in this investigation. >> do you see them as connected, or does he see them connected to january 6th? >> i do. in terms of president trump, he was trying every trick in the book. first the courts, then the attorney general, then the mob. i don't know what else he would have tried at that point. but he was trying everything he could think of. and mr. rosen fit into the second scenario, where the president was virtually threatening to replace the attorney general if he didn't do his bidding. >> i wonder, we don't have a lot of examples of people inside trump's deep inner circle cooperating with investigations. but one might be mr. mueller's use of don mcgahn and the white house counsel. and he maybe opened the investigators' eyes to other witnesses. could you tell us any other witnesses you would like to pursue? >> we have the u.s. attorney from atlanta, ge

by the us and at great cost, but had simply lost the will to fight. mrlso criticised the former afghanistan president ashraf ghani, who of course has gone into exile. he said the former president had promised him at a meeting at the white house, afghan forces would fight. mr biden said that was clearly not the case. he also blamed the trump administration for this agreement to withdraw forces from afghanistan this year. he said that left his administration with really no choice but to either go along with that or face the prospect of another civil war on the ground with the taliban. i think a lot of americans who have felt this is a good thing to do will, i think, be a little bit shocked by the pictures, in some cases, very shocked. recent polls show most are in favour of the withdrawal. whether they will still be is anybody�*s guess. for more reaction to president biden�*s speech, i've been speaking to kamran bokhari, director of analytical development at the newlines institute in washington. i began by asking him whether he thinks the president will re

mr. brennan met him there, they had a falling out, mr. brennan came back and opened the store in sacramento. the store is still there. the brick outside of the store is still there. strangely it's now a restaurant called fat city that's owned by chinese people. what was to happen was mr. brennan heard that gold had been discovered, and reasoned very simply. if there was a gold rush to the hills of the sierras, people would have to pass through sacramento. if they passed through sacramento, they would have to walk past his store. so he immediately went out, once he discovered these rumors were true and bought up everything you could possibly need in order to look for gold. pans, picks, shovels, et cetera. once he had completed that task, he came down here. he had a little newspaper, not too far from where we're standing right now, and he ran >>> next we visit san francisco's chinatown. we pick up the story with the discovery of gold in california in 1848. >> we have a remarkable and unusual situation here. gold is discovered in 1848. the r

mr biden said he had not read the details of the investigation; but he said he stood by his comments om earlier this year, that if the investigation found against mr cuomo then the governor should go. backin back in march is that every investigation confirmed the allegations against govenor cuomo, so now will you call for him to resign after the investigation found 11 of the women were credible? i stand by that statement. are — i stand by that statement. are you _ i stand by that statement. are you calling for him to resign? yes. if he doesn't resign, do you think you should be impeached and removed from office? that's take this office? that's take this one office? that�*s take office? that's take this one thin- office? that's take this one thin- at office? that's take this one thin- at a that's take this one thing at a time — that's take this one thing at a time. they may decide to impeach. i don't know that for a fact — impeach. i don't know that for a fact i— impeach. i don't know that for a fact. i have not read all that_ a fact. i have not read all that data. this is what mr cuom

do you know if the gunman had a licence, and what was the motive for the attack? we can confirm mrnfirm whether that was the firearm used. the second question was? the motive? you have ruled out terrorism. there is no motive as we know at present. again that will be subject to inquiry but we are at the moment not considering terrorism or a relationship with any far—right group or any such other group. but clearly he is on social media and that will be passed to the investigation. can you say how long he had that license? — license? i- license? i can get that detail for license? — i can get that detail for you, suddenly he was a licence holder in 2020. will there be a review of the decision—making process? as part— decision—making process? as part of an investigation into any shooting we will look at where a licence holder was licensed by devon and cornwall police. that will be an independent review and are making contact with police complaints, or whether it is conducted by another force. i will take this one here and then you.

here's what mr biden had to say. we are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st.inish, the better. each day of operations brings added risk to our troops, but the completion by august 31 depends upon the taliban continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport to those who are transported out and no disruptions to our operations. the world bank says it's suspending aid to afghanistan this because of the taliban's seizure of power. the bank says it's deeply concerned at the impact ths will have on development projects, especially those benefiting women, and that it would closely monitor the situation. the situation on the ground remains fluid and chaotic. the taliban was reportedly stopping afghans from getting to the airport area — and foreigners could only get their people out — not afghans. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet has sent this from kabul airport. her report contains some distressing images "stay calm," orders this taliban guard. there's no calm here. not in a crowd too big to count, too big to control. but the days are numbered

that may take months or maybe a year or more and what mr. mcgraw had the taller barn sportsman, they called a sort of creating a new state and a student new state order in the new political order. and that's going to take a bit longer because there are many discussions that have take place. we don't know, eventually if there will be a constitution approved. but i see this as a 2 step process of this one. michael omar just mentioned these meetings that took place in which i made cars. i and the lower part of, i mean to you, is that an encouraging sign? i think we have to be absolutely clear that efforts to achieve a broad base government which could end the conflict have been underway for a long time until now. have comprehensively failed. the taliban exercise the option of using armed force to grab all power for themselves. they have succeeded in that they are continuing the messaging that they are interested in a broad base government. and if one emerges, i think that the most off cons and most of the international community would welcome it. but they haven't done a single thing oth
