she would have puppet shows at the president loved them. she was a favorite of the president and she would campaign for the president. in 1936 in an election that was not a gimme for president roosevelt she was off to stump in major cities across the united states. i want to give you an example of the campaigning she was doing. this is from the baltimore afro-american. and african-american newspaper. no man is a hero to the ballet. over 350 years later the world has debated on both sides. last week, this is elizabeth mcduffie, white house cook and president roosevelt's valet, 700 in st. louis, clash roosevelt with lincoln, who love with the fellowman is something akin to the divine. a valet's wife whose employer is a hero, that is news. the bigger news is the spectacle of the white house cook doing a campaign speaker job. mrs. mcduffie was cheered in gary, indiana. she went to make one speech, could have made 24 more before returning to washington to cook the president's neil. she went to a lot of cities with a large african-american voting

ukrainian government had to make a response to the actions of the russian federation when the so—called puppetlly, authorities that are installed on the occupied territories by the russian federation on us, they expropriated 26 ukrainian enterprises that are on the territory. coalmines and steel? yes, operating within ukrainian law but they expropriated that so after that we couldn't continue working with them. moreover, the russian federation decided to recognise the so—called ids produced on the local ground in the territory not controlled by the ukraine. and they introduced the ruble as the only currency. so the ukrainian government unfortunately had to react with the measure that we have taken. the blockade. but civilians might be suffering as a result. again the united nations commissioner for human rights in a report looking at the situation in the ukraine to may this year has said he's worried about restrictions on the freedom of movement is because it means internally displaced people, the idps, entitled to pensions and social payments, living in rebel—held areas in eastern ukraine, th
