but the fact is that 8 years of just like in the past, when mr. ross found journey was president the election of president. ha, tammy was a reaction to his liberal economic policies. then i think mr. my, the new shot his election was a reaction to mr. hot to me as liberal economic policies. and now mr. ro, honey, his, he was elected based upon a reaction towards mr. mad initials, policies and now racy. the reason why mr. ac has become so popular partially is because the reformist moderate camp has not performed well in government. so it's not really his fault that the united states does not list the sanctions and that the government is not doing well must have a whole session. there are reports also, that is perhaps tip to succeed. the supreme leader, who of course now is 82 years old, the president is the only 2nd most powerful man. the supreme leader is the most powerful, as we know. is there a question regarding succession here and as the supreme meter and looking at right e see as that man. and perhaps once him in the presidential position to see h

and mr. mendoza ross tito had led the socialist federal republic of yugoslavia since $944.00. his death in 1980 left a political vacuum, a worsening economic crisis, and led to a wave of nationalism in the early 19 ninety's, serbia, croatia, slovenia, bosnia, hudson, governor montenegro a. macedonia pulled themselves violently upon after the 990 elections in bosnia herzegovina, 3 main nationalists parties share and power. the muslim s. d, a led by elia is a vacovich, the serv, sds, under rather than courage, and a branch of from you to germans, croatian h. d 's ed. the s d a n h d 's ed wanted independence. while the serve as d. s. wanted to remain in the realm of yugoslavia along with serbia and montenegro . so the relationships between these 3 parties soon deteriorated dramatically. on the 29th of february, 992 above me and independence referendum was held. the muslims known as both the x and the croatians, took a full part. but the bosnian serbs largely boycotted the vote and rejected the yes result. on the 1st of march, the same day a serv wedding party was sporting the se

mr. kennedy, with secretary of state dean ross, went to the palace escorted by the president of the diplomaticssociation. mr. kennedy came to address 400 newsmen. he spoke of the problems we face to secure a lasting peace. >> we must be constantly strengthening all of our forces of all kinds at all levels, deterring more, and keeping that deterring more -- deterring war and keeping the peace by making certain that those who would oppose us know we are determined to resist aggression. whatever kind of force is needed to resist it. because of the extraordinary rebirth of western european strength, the struggle has been switched to other areas. the time has now come for us to associate more closely together then ever in the past in a massive and concerted attack on poverty, injustice, and oppression, which overshadows so much of the globe. >> in the stately rooms, adorned with tapestries, president kennedy, with the ambassador at his side, was closed at a diplomatic reception. many guests -- was host at a diplomatic reception. stressing our obligations to one another in the fight for freedom and

ross: part of the reason mr.ez is defending these parties is they are proving unpopular in spain. polls suggest a 61% of people are against them, and this minister supreme court rejected the and the spanish supreme court rejected them, saying they have not shown remorse for their actions. there have been active -- accusations that this is done for the spanish election in two years time. let's also hear from spain's foreign minister. >> the grounds for these pardons are to be in public interest. there is no need to show remorse in order to proceed. that is what the spanish law says. what is in the pardoned if it is in the common interest of the country is to be guided by that, to restore historical existence, to restore basic fundamental ability to live in the same country, which is the purpose of the pardon. it is about the citizens being in position to continue to live together. this is what has got the decision by the government, which required a decision first by the supreme court, which was taken into account

to say, mr. poor besides this touched on many issues that also had to do with climate perhaps in that regard. the most important message from the russian president was that the claims that ross is not interested in addressing global climate problem to our emit mr. prudent said that in some areas the russia is even a pioneer in this sphere, and he invited international business to participate in various projects in russia . not only just to our money, but also to help save the environment. so i'll be coming back to that idea a bit later as well. mr. brewton is also saying that the russian economy is gradually restoring. and for now, it's even fair to say that it's coming back to the queen coven time. and perhaps another important announcement from mister pool. and then eventually mister proven, congratulated the american car on his anniversary and also wished guitar where to send them russia hold you to the previous world. come next year it will be the turn of the golf country. and mister really wants to make sure that you targets all the best experience from russia, and hopefully that will be great big event. so again, we began with vaccines and who like you said, and the fi

mr. president, you're not in the white house any more! >> he was a very forgiving man. you say it's possible that he went to his grave only disliking three people -- saddam hussein, ross perrot> i think that's right. he became best friends with bill clinton. mrs. bush called them the odd couple. president bush did not hold grudges and he also had a unique ability to see the best in everybody. i'm not sure he ever forgave ross perot for running against him in 1992. saddam hussein, that is sort of obvious. he and dan rather did not get along very well. we will leave that story for another time. >> it sounds like a cliche what you wrote about him. "41 never quit living life to the fullest." when i step back and look at what you told, it is undeniable. he never stopped living life to the fullest. >> he didn't. i'm quickly going to read one short paragraph just to show how he really did not want to give in to aging. this is actually i wrote this in an email to my two sisters on in november 2007. president bush had not been diagnosed with parkinson's yet but we knew something was going on with him. he was getting more and more frail and unstable. i wrote this to my sisters. today,

what caused the collapse, surfside's building inspector ross prieto told agents a month later, it appears the building is in very good shape. mrto could not be reached for comment but told the miami herald he didn't remember getting the report. one county official said laws will change because of this collapse. why do you say that? >> because it will. what took place here will put my colleagues and i in a position to do whatever it takes so this will never happen again. >> reporter: possible options include shortening the 40-year timeline for a building's recertification off changing how inspections are conducted. >> most of these 40-year certifications will done. that will probably change in the future. >> reporter: miami detective toby carp said things will change how they do inspections in the future. another commissioner is encouraging the impaneling of a grand jury who can get reports of what happened inside that building and when. >> our thanks to sam brock on that report from that very sad place. >>> coming up for us, something you might have missed, something you need to see from this past weekend. we will indeed show

ross was she called us gay. he's a former polish foreign minister. now a member of the european parliament and the head of the problem is delegation for relations with the us. mr. she coffee. welcome to d w. how relieved are you that is president by representing the us this year at the g 7. and donald trump, very because he doesn't call our cfo, he doesn't say that he trusts love to be put in more than he trusts a vi. and we no longer live in fear that he will dissolve mater with an overnight tweet. so we now have an honorable gentleman and reliable ally, it doesn't mean will agree on everything, but it means that we can do things together in an online pace. you recently argued that joe biden could be just an interlude to another 4 years of trump and that the u. a. u and us had to move forward quickly. what should the priorities be? well, europe needs to do more on defense because if america gets involved in its competition with china, we might actually be left on our own, even if the us wants to help us because the, the bandwidth and the capability is limited. so we should spend the 2 percent of g d, p on defense that trump was actually right on that. poland

borisjohnson and they think mr johnson was absolutely determined, however was health secretary, whether it was matt hancock or someone elevated is now. however it was, they lose you or rosslockdown restrictions and sorry we know that is what he told us and our senior cabinet ministers this morning that he was increasingly confident that would be possible. he's also been talking about the easing of restrictions being irreversible. i wonder how much of a risk you think that it's by the prime minister given that he has acknowledged there may be circumstances down the track when it proves not to be irreversible? you could have added in that given what has happened over the last 12, 14, 15, 16 months that the politicians including mrjohnson have made promises that they do take and other countries were on top of the virus thanit countries were on top of the virus than it had this horrible habit of getting out from under control so to some extent it's a hostage and it depends on how long peoples memories would be and of course it depends on the success of the vaccine programme and i think what you have to see here in the uk is a government writing on a genuine wave of support a
