after a decade of dispute, china and nepal agreed on how tall the peak is, they agreed to add a meter. it now climbs 29,032 feet, means it is almost three feet taller now. >> trevor: turns out mount everest is almost three feet taller than we thought before and technically almost four feet taller when you factor in its new afro. here's my question, who is stretching thstretching the meae all the way to the top of the mountain because when i measure anything over 20 feet, it always lets go and flies back in my hand. imagine this person's bravery. turns out mount everest isn't just taller, it turns out that it keeps growing taller partly because of all the dead bodies from failed climbers that keep piling up but also because the tectonic plates are pushing into each other and pushing the mountain up. so as mountains get older, they get bigger. but as people get older, nay tend to shrink. i guess that's just one more way that mountains and people are different. mountains are bigger than people. huh. and can i just say, measuring mountains, i didn't even know that was a job. measuring mou

voices heard on the international news channel one moment i'll be very proud of was when we covered the nepal earthquake the 25th to a terrible natural disaster and the story that needed to be told from the heart of the affected area to be there to tell the people story was very important at the time. when all that seems to matter is the headline there is always 2 sides to a story when narratives and counter narratives obscure reality the leader on the one hand the enemy is all believe they're on the other hand the listening post strips away the spin what kind of reporting if you can see them on the ground misinformation is right lays bare the bias a lot of people believe things because they want to believe them done covers the uncomfortable truths if you think they did enough to scrutinize the case for war the listing posts. since then arab spring swept through countries across the middle east and north africa in a series of interviews we explore the legacy of the revolution that changed the political landscape of the region tunisia's former president. discusses the arab spring 10 years ago.

i think business liability and state and local aid are canaries in nepal mine. they are cover for avoiding -- in a coal mine. they are cover for avoiding passing a bill if they do not want to. 300 billion is dollars more than republicans of been able to vote for in july. the problem is spending and you'll be able to mask the fear of sticker shock with the conversations about liability in state and local aid. democrats are willing to work on business liability. they're not willing to go for five years. ,ou can get a couple months well into 2021 covered and work on those problems in the future. on the state and local aid part i hear every republican senator i speak with, you do not have support from midwestern republican states to bail out blue states. unfunded pension problems exist in kentucky and every other red state as well. they have stressed the red/blue state divide, largely driven by the narrative coming from president trump. thee two issues are masking broader problem of do we provide government finance, deficit increasing stimulus when we know there is

extend temporary protective status for people from honduras, el salvador, nicaragua, haiti, sudan, and nepaluntil at least october 2021. the extension is part of a deal between plaintiffs and the u.s. government who have sued to preserve tps after the trump administration killed the humanitarian relief program earlier this year. this comes as immigration rights advocates have been demanding the trump administration give tps to refugees from all central american countries devastated by hurricanes eta and iota. in related news, the norwegian refugee council is warning that over 400,000 people in honduras and guatemala are in urgent need of humanitarian aid in the wake of the two hurricanes. the house on tuesday overwhelmingly passed $741 billion defense bill with a veto-proof majority. the bill requires military bases be stripped of confederate names, which trump has previously said would lead him to veto the package. trump also threatened to veto if lawmakers do not crack down on social media companies he claims were biased against him in the election. the bill also will require federal offic
