mr. thomas didn't choose this downtime in his garden. he had been training for the olympic games for several years when the corona virus pandemic hit. the games have been postponed for a full year in spring, 2020. the top level sports world went into locked down around a week after, and we were in a sort of in between our mission to it was still okay to be on training ground. but let's say it was welcome to gradually, before retreated. if there were social distancing rules, and we move the training equipment from the hall to our home so that we could stay fit and none of us knew how long this would last time. everyone has had to begin training alone. and competitions have been canceled. discussions about whether or not the olympic games could take place began in march of 2020 we as a society, don't know what's coming our way with that. we don't know whether the games will take place as a big event, or if it be a dangerous event and reflection, why? this is a white emission feeling for walks has become a nation wide hobby. people are goin

and i think that is a fair comment, but i —— certainly mr thomas bach's statement that there is zeroagrees with that. even the governor i spoke to in my interview, she says no—one thinks there is zero risk. it isjust a shame that thinks there is zero risk. it is just a shame that the anticipation building is about numbers of covid cases possible rather than the games at this point. thank you very much, the very latest from rupert in tokyo. the german chancellor says the world must hurry in the battle against climate change. after visiting some of the areas worst hit by last week's deadly flash—floods, she expressed her shock at what she called surreal destruction. more heavy rain has caused further flooding in southern germany and austria. our europe correspondent jenny hill reports "we really need help here," she says. and outside the village shop, you can see why. as in so many other parts of western germany, people in the town of bad munstereifel still can't quite believe what happened. we met gertrude here. volunteers have brought food, water. she told us she spent the night alon

and i think that i do hope is that mr thomas, i hope you will work with us to help make the system better go through as well. because they are living through this nightmare twice. there living for the nightmare while i'm still alive and then they've got to go through all the again when i die. thank you very much for speaking to us. we send you our very best wishes. thank you. a scathing inquiry into three nhs scandals published last year, concluded that thousands of women came to "avoidable harm", after their concerns around some medical treatments were ignored by the health service. the cumberlege review looked into the use of pelvic mesh, anti—epilepsy drugs and hormone pregnancy tests. now a year on, there are renewed calls for its recommendations to be implemented to avoid further suffering. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. three health treatments intended to improve women's lives, but instead ruined many of them. there are the women living with debilitating pain after having pelvic mesh fitted. the pain, i would be in tears with. it was so severe. there are the pregna

mr. thomas frenkel, of an alteration permit, constructing a wood platform over an existing concrete patio, install an automatic door opener and activation switches. mr. rabinowitz, we will hear your appeal now. >> blum has a multidecade pattern of ignoring noise ordinances. when i have called them, they have hung up on me in the bar because it was too loud to talk, ignored me when i called them back, and even throwing me out of the bar. their amplified music emanates into my house until 2:00 a.m. every year. i hear it almost every weekend every day. the exhibits in my brief clearly show blum's patrons on both the older concrete patio and the new illegally built deck. the intention of the deck is not for storage, it was for customers. that is why there is a roof, tables, chairs, t.v., heaters, lowered viewing fence, and such are built up. i've submitted pictures of all of this in my brief which clearly violates the city's planning code. now it's clear to note that blum's knew exactly what they were doing when they obtained the permit. in 1992, blum received a permit and were aware that the

a fishing rod, instead of a javelin, thomas wheeler, mrs. competing, well, let's say the last one was a practice competition. last year, they called it a competition, but it was training, but other than that, it was after the world cup in 2019 at the moment, things are scheduled to kick off again and may for a lot, but nothing a certain. during the pandemic, the athletes now know that international spectators will not be allowed at the tokyo games. the news has made it even harder to stay motivated. i me personally, one thing that makes it all the more difficult is the fact that it looks like we'll be in the stadium without spectators. i mean with through and i love the sport with all of its emotion with it. and with an audience that supports the athletes and gives us extra power, you will notice they're absent away, things currently are unsafe. in the meantime, the 1st vaccines were making their way to germany, but only a few of been vaccinated. everyone wants one, including top level athletes. vaccination is discussed, the law. it's a highly political and topical social issue. as an

mr. chuter but also there was the lofaro video, the sequence of events that started with the d.o.j. declining to preclear. >> thank you, counsel. justice thomas. >> thank you, mr. chief justice. counsel, the again the reg slate i intent is interesting and i don't know how much weight we should put on it but the ninth circuit did put some weight on that i'm wondering how you would analyze -- analyze that if in addition to what was said that was somewhat of a pejoretive nature about minorities if -- and you have both sets of pejoretives in the legislative history. how would you analyze that and how would it change the way you would analyze this case. >> i'm not sure it would make a difference, your honor. i guess it would depend on what you said and what rule -- what role it played if any in the passage of legislation. as this court tells in arlington heights, determining whether racial motivation was a factor, doesn't have to be the only factor but a factor in the passage of the act is not simply a question of counting heads or statements, oftentimes there are no discriminatory statements available, yet the court has said that the way to deter

mr. thomas. in the u.s., the government should not spy on its citizens, plain and simple.ent surveillance on american is necessary to prosecute crimes, it should be a high for the government getting approval to do so. the church committee investigation into the fbi's actions in the 20th century provided a roadmap righting the wrongs of domestic serenity and apparatus of checks and balances set up to uphold government accountable when it sought to invade the privacy of its citizens but this process is now in need of reform. laws and guidelines are easily sorted our system of subpoenas and national security letters and other tools the government disposal must be brought in line with constitutional considerations for basic due process. we tried to make progress in recent years and we have much more work to do. usa freedom act made improvement to the patriot act but many deficiencies remain like the simple fact that the obama fbi spy on president trump's's campaign, the dossier at the time to surveyor activities. further improvements are the overall and some think the committe

mr. .. by writing a biography of thomas sowell. i'll begin in an odd way.ow do you explain, i think you know the answer, nevertheless, i want your answer, how do you explain that one of the finest minds of the last half-century is unknown to have america? >> guest: well, i guess to use today's -- thomas sowell was canceled, canceled a long time ago. he's a conservative. he's a black conservative. and way back in the 1970s when he began writing about racial controversies, he got in trouble with a lot of his fellow intellectuals in the academy, and in the media. and he's never really shook that. i thinks it's something that has cost him professionally in terms of notoriety and probably the main reason a lot of people today, notwithstanding the fact that he's really written circles around those folks, maybe all of them combined. not only in terms of breadth of his work but also the rigor of his analysis i think is really unmatched by those folks, yet they remained much better knowna than thomas sowell. that's what the reason i wanted to write the book. >> host

mr. sponsor. doctor thomas are. i appreciate your testimony's and in nebraska i represent every sector of the supply chain. , feed yards of every size, and we have packers of every size, including three of the big four. i understand that every region is different, what works in one state might not work in another. so i see the merits, and i understand why they may be more popular in certain regions. i understand the economic returns, as well as operational fish and sees, both for packers and four feet yards. that's why i've included a contract library in my legislation. to provide, all producers who want to diversify their marketing, but who are not lucky enough to have a seat at the negotiating table. and that's what mr. garneau references in his testimony. and they can have access to examples of what's already exists in the marketplace. doctor tonsor as the economist on the panel, i'm interested in your opinion on mr. gardner's testimony, where he states his customers on average, have earned 92 dollars and 71 cent

mr. about me. i mean, it says kind of silly. don't you think go ahead, thomas. no, i don't. i mean, i think i, i think the treatment of dissidence, bye bye up for terry. and regime in dates is he didn't use they did. how do you get a hold of you define a did someone will be with crimes. he was like okay, so i think i think that is a crime and not have a committed what is a crime, but that's beside the point. what you're getting at is that the united states does want to have a dialogue with russia. they are 2 nuclear powers. and president biden did want to reset in some manner of the relationship with russia to deal with the issues that do concern the 2 countries together. this is something that goes back to the cold war after all the united states and the soviet union dealt with each other and in those circumstances as well. so that, that is there. now what complicates matters is that president biden, and i think for reasons of trying to regain support from the american people from europeans, has characterized issues with russia and china as democracy use against the authori

thomas brock jr. a top fundraiser for mr trump, was indicted for failing to register as an agent of the united arab emiratesent. barack is accused of obstruction of justice and making false statements during the 2019 interview with federal agents. in addition, federal prosecutors and the fbi are looking into whether he tried to sway the trump administration on behalf of persian gulf nation. parents of murder children have joined the effort to recall governor newsom. they say policies he supported were unfair and unjust and help put criminals back out there on the street. ktvu christian captain talked to two parents who lost their children to violent crimes and has our report a marvelous system. harriet solano's daughter, cotino was murdered in 1979 and marc klaas's daughter, polly was kidnapped and murdered in 1993. the pair joined in grief, both losing their daughters in horrific crimes and now joining. again and calling for governor gavin newsom to be recalled both saying he worked to end the state's three strikes and truth in sentencing guidelines and implementing a policy that makes inmates eligible for

federal prosecutors allege that thomas barrack conspired to act as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of the united arab emerites, while mrrding to a spokesperson, mr barrack will plead not guilty. with nearly two days to go until the opening ceremony of the tokyo olympic games on friday, questions about covid—19 continue. on tuesday, the international olympic committee president thomas bach insisted cancelling the games was never an option. hours later the head of the tokyo organising committee refused to rule that out if cases continue to rise. translation: what would happen if the covid-19 infection _ was spread further? i think when that happens we will have to have a full consultation. i think that is all i can say at thisjuncture. mr muto was talking at a separate press conference to the ioc one beforehand. in that, officials attempted to offer reassurance. the isolation and the playbooks are very very strict indeed. there can never be zero risk but we have reduced it is far is humanly possible. regardless of the uncertainty, athletes from nations across the world are ready to get under way — and a group of artists

thomas and alito. i think that is where the court aligns on a lot of cases. mr. garre: i will just follow that up really quickly. i do think that one of the most noteworthy aspects of this term is that justice barrett aligned herself with justice kavanaugh for the middle and not necessarily with gorsuch and thomas. as josh said, i think two or three years out with the trump appointees they are by no means moving in the aipac and together. this is often true when justices come on the court even under the same administrations. most of the most interesting in fighting is taking place on the right these days. as we learned in talking through some of the opinions today. i will talk briefly about the telephonic arguments, since i had the opportunity to do a couple of those this term. for an advocate it is incredibly foreign experience to be in your office alone, speaking into a telephone to the justices of the supreme court. there are certainly advantages to it. you can use notes and take advantage of other things in your office. you have a greater opportunity to answe

mr. speaker. i rise today to recognize the 75th anniversary of the thomas fields veterans of foreign wars post 7814, which was founded on july 11, 1946. when african-american veterans of world war ii returned to their homes in the stanton-augusta area, they were unfortunately exclude interested their local v.f.w. post. following their denied admittance, a group of 42 veterans applied for a charter to organize their own post which would carry the name sakes of charles thomas and glen wood feleds, two african-american from stanton who died serving their country in world war ii. since the formation it's been an active civic organization in the african-american community of stanton and augusta county, as well as played an active and significant role in local area of veterans activities. while the post welcomes all veterans t. continues to highlight the heritage of african-american and minority veterans who served our nation. recently, post 7814 was recognized as meritorious post by the state v.f.w. federation for its outstanding work over the last five years and was also named an all american post by t

mr. at amy on monday, not advisor to the former us president. donald trump has been released on bail after a court hearing galena. thomas brock is charged with working as a foreign agent on behalf of the united arab emirates, barack chad trump in all girl fund that helps him get elected. he'll have to and electronic monitor and surrender his passport while awaiting trial. kristen salumi has moved from new york. barrick is charged with trying to influence improperly lobby the u. s. president for he was working allegedly on behalf of the united arab emirates, as he was the chairman of president trump's inaugural committee in 2017. this was a substantial stop and i unexpectedly taking place today. he is due to appear in person in a new york courtroom on monday, but his lawyer is attempting to secure his freedom pending trial. prosecutors were very nervous about this because he is a very wealthy man and business man with a private jet and citizenship in lebanon. so they wanted to make sure that his attendance in new york, on monday would be assured before letting him leave this federal detention facility while the investiga

earlier i spoke to michelle thomas, a divorce and trial lawyer and asked her what she made of the court's decision. it was defintely unexpected. i don't think any of us expected mrby to walk free today, but the supreme court had to balance his constitutional rights, and the fact that mr cosby waived his fifth amendment constitutional right against self—incrimination, with the belief and expectation that criminal charges would not be brought against him, and that is what the supreme court focused on — the fact that this case should never have been brought in the first place because of the deal that he entered into with the initial prosecutor. and it was inherently unfair, which is what the court focused on — fairness. for the second prosecutor in 2015 to bring these charges back in, to unseal the deposition transcript — that is the crux of this issue. how unusual is this? this is getting a lot of attention obviously because of the profile that bill cosby has, but is this unusual for a court to do something like this? it is not unusual for a supreme court to focus in on the constitutional issues and whether they have been violated. in a case like this, mr cosby�*s

mr. ritchie: jack anderson was a good, determined reporter who really pressed and also pressed pearson in areas where pearson stepped back. thomasodd, the senator from connecticut, jack anderson found out from the former staff that dodd was taking campaign contributions and using them for personal finances. he collected information. his staff went in on the weekend and took things out of the file and gave them to anderson and then returned to them. anderson published about 20 columns on this and eventually the editors were saying, this is over the top, this could be a libel case, people are going to get bored because you are doing the story so often. pearson pulled the plug and said this is not. anderson showed up with a young staff member at pearson's home and presented him with the case. he finally said, ok, let us go with it. they presented 100 articles and dodd was censured. the poster committee gave the pulitzer prize to pierson pearson -- pearson and anderson. jack anderson on his own later won the pulitzer prize. host: he said it was a great regret in his life that he never got the prius. mr. ritchie: he felt he never got
