it seems like the specter of russian meddling is set to hang over the 2020 us presidential election as well democratic hopeful told does facing criticism for allegedly receiving funds from people being described as putin apologists. rubbish the claims as fake news by drawing fire from some quarters for adopting the donald trump style of language. it's a whole lot of fake news what i am focused on is what is in the best interest of the american people what is in the best interest of our national security keeping the american people think. recent article claims that the hawaii congresswoman received donations from 3 individuals one a russian studies professor at new york university another a vocal putin supporter who nonetheless was arrested in russia in 2016 and the 3rd a former employee at this channel who appears to have donated to go but under the alias goofy grapes now this sums in the question however seems minor at least relative to the use theory they've generated of course 2 of the 3 contributors reportedly provided god with a $1000.00 each drop in the ocean for a presidential c

specter for the introduction. topic today is tmi, a legacy of lies and i really struggled with the title and i'll explain that in just a minute. a little bit about me, this is -- i mean, when i was handsome. in 1972, i got my master's nuclear and it was most demanded major in the country at the time and those of us in the nuclear at rpi had the highest starting salary, $12,000 a year. in 1972.back by 1979 i was working just up route 81 right over in new york state for new york state electrics and gas. was part of their speakers televisionwas on as the disaster transpired i actually said that the titanic hit the iceberg and sunk.eberg i was absolutely convinced the safety of nuclear remained an advocate during chernobyl in '86 until 1990 when i became whistleblower and that fundamentally changed outlook. there's not enough time to get into those details but in 1993, norm lamont asked theo be one of plaintiffs' expert witnesses in the trial. then, i told him nobody died, what are you worried about? in, norm convince

changed there or people who are talking about looking at ways to get rid of these people have the specter of on refugees change in germany the export council has analyzed public opinion consistently throughout the past us and what the upset if is that on the whole of public opinion to what's immigration as such has not changed much there are some subtle changes they are bit more critical of refugees and of course nowadays they also talk about those who have to return to their country of origin there if it's kept to kill that the government isn't doing enough in that field but on the whole we find that public opinion has accepted that immigration is an integral part of germany nowadays what you put it what the talks about the rise of hate crimes against asylum seekers and refugees that's true we analyzed crime both against micron's and refugees and also criminality by my quince and refugees and on both fronts we find a slight increase so what. policy should be doing is they should address it but obviously it's only a minority in both fronts on the whole public opinion in germany is very st

situation in venezuela is having a real impact in the caribbean on energy and a broader economic specter. the united states has so much to offer when it comes to alternative energy, and we must do more to enhance this partnership. while sometimes it seems like we ,ever miss an opportunity democrats and republicans can come together to push for a renewed partnership within the region. this includes supporting the haitian people as they push back against corruption and strive for stronger governance. briefly.rn to ecuador i visited ecuador in 2008 at a time when some of us felt there still was hope for a productive relationship with the president. the good news is president moren o has turned the page on relations. his decision to expel julian assange from the embassy in london was a major step forward. i am excited for a stronger relationship in the years ahead. the first step must be the reopening of our usaid mission in ecuador which was shut down. argentina is also a country i care about deeply. while it is going through a difficult period, i believe the president's stewardship of the
