well , the bill has been approved, but what now needs to be done to finally make ppp in space work successfullyalways a right that still needs to be properly implemented; of course, we will still have to develop a fairly large number of regulations that regulate precisely... thank you, yuri borisov, the head of roscosmos, was with me. daria, i give you the floor. dmitry, thank you. dmitry moroka discussed with the general director of roscosmos yuri borisov the bill on public-private partnership in the space sector. today the document was approved by the federation council. mikhail mishustin demanded that everything necessary be done to transfer shipping to russian standards in new regions. this topic became one of the main ones at the meeting between the prime minister and... rosmorrech-fleet driver andrei tarasenko. another significant topic concerns our new regions - these are donetsk, lugansk, people's republic, kherson and zaporozhye regions. there is a process going on, you know, of restoring the entire infrastructure, but what is very important is integrate them, including into the transp

and the ppp document explains this with technical reasons.easons that occurred only in men from 26 to 60 years old. dpp document, no matter how many times you go, there is a service hanging in them, then there is another lie that some passports are issued. if the service hangs, it hangs for everyone, not for 18. it’s 60, i applied until april 24, and i was in the dp three times documents with a request to issue me a passport, but no one set any conditions, that, for example, i have to come there with a qr code, with established data, there with a reserve, that is , they just delay and say that it is in ukraine, wait for it to be issued, well and lawyers representing ukrainian men in the czech republic say some of their clients did get passports after they showed a qr code updating their military records. but whether these are isolated cases or whether there is some kind of system is also unknown, well, at least radio svoboda cannot confirm that passports abroad began to be issued specifically to those who updated their data, but here it is wo

it is the third economy on the planet, at the exchange rate there is almost 5 trillion dollars, at pppal power, india needs 1.450 million people, 450 million people have found themselves perfectly in the global economy, this is the middle class, integrated into world economic system, where in terms of the number of unicorns, bangalore is one of the five largest cities on the planet, indian companies, it... foundries and petrochemicals are one of the largest in the world, but at the same time 1 billion people in india are still in a state, well say the late middle ages, or in any case passes from it into something more modern, about 60% of the population of india lives in rural areas, now on randramode it is implementing a gigantic program of squeezing out approximately 300 million people from the village. to the cities, because it is easier there to provide education, healthcare, a more decent standard of living, but at the same time, of course, it is very difficult, a difficult, difficult moment in the history of the country, it is very significant that the prime minister of india, on

there are still those living off of their ppp loans that they should not of gotten, i think that is so much of it and we become used to finding a way to go on vacation and go on a cruise, to buy the new iphone and eventually that's where the consumer comes in, i think the consumer is going to start to sell down and take the 10% hit, the penalty in the ira. >> could i get your sense, when you talk to investors in human to the nvidia in all of these who are late buyers but they have been reworded and that could slow, that's what you're saying in the precipice many of us are on debt, it's waiting for get out to hit us but it hasn't happened, when does it hit. >> it happens with the perfect storm, as you lived it so many times just when you think nothing can happen and that's why i mentioned whether the geopolitical shock and it could be a natural disaster. >> if it ignored all of this stuff. >> it ignored it all but you have the tipping point in the tipping point is when suddenly somebody can't pay their debt and when they can start to dry up with the cash sloshing around we haven't had a

students can't have their loans forgiven but businesses can under ppp.o longer exists apparently we don't need the voting rights act. last but certainly not least, the president of the united states can use his powers as commander in chief to have his political opponents killed. that was the final sledgehammer blow to the american democratic experiment. the constitution is dead. long live the constitution. god help us all. but for the leonard leo six i guess it's now god save the king. joining me now is nick ackerman, former watergate assistant special prosecutor and former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. nick, my friend, i want to play for you a piece of video that will be familiar to you. this is richard nixon talking about what a president can do. >> so in a sense what you're saying is that there are certain situations where the president can decide that it's in the best interests of the nation or something and do something illegal? >> well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal. >> nick akerman,

when the pandemic hit, marco rubio worked closely with trump and trump's team to create the ppp programhe most important economic relief business certainly for businesses that came out of the pandemic, and scores of other -- you look at tax reform where rubio worked closely not just with trump but with trump's daughter to create the -- to increase the child tax credit. the reason the corporate rate is 21% and not 20% is because of marco rubio working with trump in his administration. sure, the 2016 campaign was rough but once trump got elected, the two of them had a really good working relationship. so frankly, i am not surprised that marco's on the short list for vp. i think it's interesting given that they're from the same state. i think there's potentially some concern over their residency issue, constitutionally you can have two people from the same states. i understand why trump would be interested, at least reportedly interested in choosing my former boss as vp. >> it would be tough. there is talk about marco rubio potentially having to resign his senate seat and move to washingto

and when the administration took office, she pressured executives at big banks to increase their ppp to small businesses. critics, of course, they point out she has been one of most liberal senators when she sat in the senate. she supported a return to the 35% corporate tax rate, and a full repeal of the trump tax cuts. advocated for low and middle income tax credits on medicare for all, all of which kind of resembled a universal base of income type of proposal. whether she holds on to that still is unclear. democratic megadonor marcus pincus tweeted yesterday he'll be all in for harris if she supports a centrist platform and will sit it out if she veers to the left. unclear how she'll react, guys, if what she ends up doing is -- which i keep hearing, more modeling the biden economic agenda. >> novogratz said the same thing yesterday. i was shocked. i thought he would be all in. he said she's too far left. >> you talked to a lot of the folks, like i have. i think a lot of them advocated for biden to withdraw and may not have thought through the second step of the harris inevitability

ppp contracts in covid, the gambling that we've seen in this campaign.ing against a labour supermajority as he sees it and has also suggested that taxes will go up under labour and not ruled out tax rises variety with cut taxes for everyone. going to be the familiar messages. for me, but was more interesting, was where they are campaigning by that and what they are saying so, for example, rishi sunak was there in there in oxfordshire, in a seat once 0xfordshire, in a seat once represented by a previous conservative prime minister david cameron. should normally be considered safe is that the lib have a good chance of winning it and yesterday ijoined the labour campaign reporter and was taken to banbury, a seat that has been conservative since it has been formed. it has never had a lib dem mp for labour formed. it has never had a lib dem mpfor labourand formed. it has never had a lib dem mp for labour and labour think they are competitive their moving resources away from other seats that they felt they had to put resources into an order to win. they think
