we don't know when this will come, the straits times has been speaking to express and quoting the world talking about having containment measures needed. the one silver lining in all of this is there has been such incredible cooperation between different organisations and research facilities right across the world and the vast amount of countries that have signed up to this international vaccine programme with some notable exceptions like the united states who possibly would not be so keen to share their findings with everyone else until they have released it first. the vast majority of the international population and science committee are working together and that is quite an amazing silver lining. it's nice to find a silver lining in what is a difficult time, hasn't it? a really complicated story. the ft financial times looking back at focusing again on the northeast going into lockdown. john and i was talking to a pub landlord, i have to give a shout out to the schooner pub in gateshead. .. the landlord shout out to the schooner pub in gateshead... the landlord was just saying how f

like the new revelations in "the washington post" about what your uncle did the last time we knew he was in dire straits financial straits this dire, when he tried to go to his father, who was in decline, to try to get him to change his will. i feel like that is a scary piece of foreshadowing or reason to worry about what he might do now that he's president and he appears to be sliding back into financial straits that dire. do you see a parallel there? >> yeah. unfortunately it's a parallel in a long series of parallels that for reasons i'm still grappling with, a lot of people have either chosen to ignore or to take advantage of. but you ask exactly the right question, and it's not what a theoretical president would do. it's what donald would do in this situation, and we know. >> in terms of what "the times" has reported today, obviously in 2018, they had that huge exposÉ that you later explained in your book was based in part on documents from you. now this is new reporting. they've been able to access 20 years of tax returns that nobody has seen before and that nobody except them has seen. how does w
