ms. hill or doctor hill, belarus has seemingly been reluctant to embrace putin's war on ukraine, but russia continues to use the territory in belarus to stage the invasion. can you briefly tell me how putin views his relationship and whether we expect belarus to engage to a greater level in the war in ukraine in the future? >> thank you. it's actually important for us to remember belarus because it still is technically an independent country but as you are mentioning it's used as a stage in this conflict by ukraine -- for ukraine by russia. we also know president lukashenko of belarus has been in some political difficulty in the most recent elections there and a lot of questions about whether he was in fact actually elected. we had a large opposition movement that emerged and questions about his long-term grip on power. what we do know of course is that he's become increasingly dependent on support from russia which is why the belarusian territory has been used. i think it was also a model for

ms. harris is that a private conversation over the last few months, dozens of democrats in the white house on capitol hillhad not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country. what's your take on this and now not even democrats backing her? >> well, it apparently is not a very private conversation anymore. i think it's pretty evident that democrats are scared to death she might be their best hope and that means there's no hope. her word salad speeches are embarrassing. she is constantly making gaffes. the one respondentability she was given was to be the border czar. boy, that's worked out just brilliantly. so how does she present herself to say look at my leadership. look how i can inspire people. she confuses people with her speeches, even the people who are around her, and there is such widespread discontent within her staff. she has multiple people leaving. it's a revolving door. if you go it work for her, they don't even put your name on the door plate. they simply put it in chalk because they don't think you will be there very long because you can'

ms. harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of democrats in the white house on capitol hilld the nation are,including some who helped put her on the party's ticket said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party much less the country. even some democrats who her own advisers referred supporters to confide privately that they had lost hope in her. what about the big money fundraisers? they have bailed, too. bundler, john morgan, who used to raise money for slick wily told the "times" i can't think of one thing that she's done except stay out of the way and stand beside him at certain ceremonies. and if you thought that was brutal, get a load of this. through much of the fall, a quiet panic set in among key democrats about what would happen if president biden opted not to run for a seconds term. most democrats interviewed who insisted on anonymity to avoid alienating the white house said flatly that they did not think ms. harris could win the presidency in 2024. some said the party's biggest challenge would be finding a way to sidelin

hill in 2012 and 2013. do you consider yourself a lobbyist or do you consider yourself an advocate? ms. sohn: i haven't been registered as a lobbyist in years. i stopped going to the hill. that hill lobby does not mean you are registered as a lobbyist, it means you are advocate. >> i choked on the number filing you sign your name to at the fcc. filings and proceedings, nearly 150 you had signed your name too. you said you will voluntarily recuse yourself from some broadcast issues if confirmed. you also participated in proceedings for many topics ranging from net neutrality to universal service and inter-carrier compensation. as we look at this, whether the work is as an advocate, lobbyist, or term you discounted, advocate, should you be recusing yourself from all of this variety of the issues that are going to come about? issues you previously signed your name to for profit -- for filings and proceedings? ms. sohn: i discussed this at length in the hearing. my voluntary recruit -- voluntary recusal was an attempt to address concerns we heard again today that people had over my participa

hill. so we are getting a little bit of a break from that wet weather. but futurecast for going to ms arriving sunday morning through sunday afternoon. bring us about a quarter of an inch of rain or less and even tracking some mountain snow for this where you're going to be under winter storm warning starting sunday morning through monday morning. monday's storm at this atmospheric river is going to be the strongest and most impactful because we're expecting about a quarter of an inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain with this storm alone. really peaking by your monday afternoon. so plan ahead. in addition to that snow levels dropping to as low as 500 feet just because of these cold core system. so by tuesday morning, through wednesday morning, that's going to be the 3rd and last round weaker than monday's storm. but it's still going to bring us widespread rain and even mountain snow. nonetheless, with our highest peaks in the east bay hills and even santa lucia mountains getting upwards of about 20 inches of rain or snow or less. and for us here in the bay area, rain totals with

ms. prelogar: not as th crt has articulated the standard. the cot s never suggested because you create a minority majority district automatically means in casra is predominated, and in the hill case the court remandeth case whe there had been a 55% target used to make a fdi on predominance. i do not think that is the answer. the reason iits often possible to give great attention to other districting criteria. that is what the plaintiff district court findings. >> not just possible, required. it is as if in a hypothetical world there are 50orl traditional criteriaand the computer runs the 50, and the challengers experts run the 50, and they add race. the question as criteria 51, the question from thstdpoint of predominance would be is the consideration of that one adtial factor, which would necessarily produce differt maps, because if you change one small part of an algorithm you would see might have different results. find, we have different results because the experts use 51 criteria and the computer used 50. the question is whether the use of that extra one, because it differentiates, means of predominates. i do not think that is what shaw means when it says predominant. i
