mr. thomas, but in any case in my career. >> what about ben king? >> i can't remember what mr.u know there are also other witnesses who recanted. >> i don't know that, okay? i don't know who said what. >> but you could see how someone who's looking at this case from the outside who would say, you've got several witnesses all saying their testimony was coerced. can they all be lying? >> i -- i don't know what they said, okay, but if they're present at the scene and they're saying mr. atchison was not the shooter, then tell me who is. all i know is i presented the evidence that was presented to me at a jury trial, and 12 citizens listened to all the evidence and decided that mr. atchison was guilty of first-degree murder. >> although the judge today said that had those same 12 jurors listened to all of the evidence, they would have likely reached a different conclusion. >> you know, that's her opinion, i respect it. i certainly disagree with it. >> the system doesn't want to acknowledge that they made a mistake, but you made a mistake. you made a horrible mistake. and the fact th

ambassador thomas-greenfield: thank you mr. president, thank you all for joining us today to participate in the covid-19 summit as we collectively work to end this pandemic. this administration is grateful to be working alongside you, and let me start by echoing what the president made clear. this pandemic is global. none of us is safe until everyone is safe. only a truly global response can meet and defeat this threat. after all, the world has learned the hard way that global health isn't only about viruses and disease, it touches every aspect of life itself. economies have collapsed. gender-based violence has spiked. millions of children have lost valuable education time, and many, particularly girls, may never return to school. the pandemic has disrupted people's lives and livelihoods in ways that will take us years, maybe even decades, to fully comprehend. we have to come together to vaccinate the world. stop this pandemic, and build a global ecosystem that is well-equipped to prevent, detect, and respond to outbreaks so th

thomas domestic terrorism. when you say that not a danger. not to mr. jervis. i was here on january the 6th. it was mostly peaceful demonstration, but there were some people violated the law, should be prosecuted between 5 and 700 protest. this were expected police putting the eventual number of people here between 40450 for 4 months, including a man who knows what it's like to crush the capital duck hughes land that a gyroscope to there in 2015, a major security breach which led to jail time, giving him a unique viewpoint hair. if there is reason that a person is okay them just as there's no right to keep them income. well, the $600.00 people have been charged so far. the former president trump, who was impeached than acquitted for incitement, issuing this statement, saying hearts and minds with the people being persecuted, so unfairly the being held successively and with mid terms and a possible trump rerun in 2024. this is unlikely to be the last protest here, phil of el al jazeera washington. now libby as capital is re vamping a finish as one of the most beautiful cities along the medite

thomas: certainly, in the coming months and the next year, french politics and mr.n's fate will play big and german politics simply because france will hold the presidency of the european union and there is reelection in france. we will all be a little bit french from here in berlin, but that doesn't mean the big geopolitical factors will go away. central location, economic power, the quality of brokering a compromise in europe will still rest with germany. yes, there is a shift, 16 years of angela merkel are over, and a new chancellor, whoever it is, will need to find his voice. but that won't mean a huge shift in balance in europe. dani: i'm interested in some of the details about what that geopolitics look like after the selection, specifically with nato, if you have olaf scholz and his party, ruling out the nato defense spending, and the greens also wanting an overhaul. we have a coalition between the two, what does the future look like for nato? thomas: it is clear there is a difference between defense and security, and pending on would become the chancellor. o

mrs. merkel will remain in power. i want to talk about this with european affairs commentator dominick thomas. because it's a new era for europe, and i do want to talk about that in just a moment. but as we pass these numbers, mrs. merkel's party has taken a hit. is that because voters have voted against her and her legacy? >> it's a great question. if you put it in a longer historical context, you can see that back in 2005 when angela merkel first became chancellor, her party and the coalition with the spd, had about 70% of the parliamentary seats. that dropped in 2017 to them barely being able to achieve a coalition. and you've seen further erosion in this election. they didn't just not win or come out ahead. they've scored their worst score in the history of this parity. back to your question, this means about 76% of the german people did not vote for the cdu. so, yes, there's the departure of angela merkel. but i think there's also the fact that they failed to find a successor and that there's been a rise in these other political parties that i think better reflect the pulse of where the ge

mr. lacour: yes, before our 45th president. senator cruz: professor mascott, you clerked for justice thomas. clearly there was no shadow docket and you worked on no emergency matters during your time as a clerk, right? prof. mascott: certainly, the orders docket is typical and has been around for a very long time and on the jurisdictional point, a california vs. texas just last time term, justice breyer underscored what the court said, again, in this most recent ruling, folks need to have standing and can provide remedies only against parties, not general concerns about bills. senator cruz: there is an old line that hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. the democrats are fond of concocting ominous terms. dark money is one of their favorites. i mention hypocrisy because the democrats received far more money than republicans. so they explain. hidden money from giant donors is a terrible thing. then, they come up with a shadow docket, which i suppose dark money ought to cast a shadow. it should be light money that i suppose is casting a shadow. what they're calling a shadow docket
