thomas-greenfield: i do regret it.ce corps was always my plan b, and i'm lucky enough in my life that all my plan a's workout. i wish peace corps was in my plan a so i could have had that extremist to add to the many things i've done --that experience to add to the many things i've done. kathryn: aaron asks if you could go into more detail about the quad engagement mentioned. can you comment on what the quad intends to do in the pacific and what commitments you would like to see from india in particular? amb. thomas-greenfield: look, we are an informal group. we've developed a lot of informal groups in new york, where we come together to talk about common issues of interest and how we can bring our unified voices together on but they got issue -- on particular issues. and this group, i mentioned australia, india, and japan. and so one of the things we have discussed is how we can address as a group some of the issues that -- or the priorities that have been raised by pacific island countries. how can we bring our unifi

umar, thank you very much for being with us, we are thomas bach.ical order that is dictated to them by london, brussels, washington, this is clearly obvious. in this part. bach, our conversation turned out to be extremely well . well, we will follow thomas’s career frankly, we are waiting for responses, maybe prayers , statements from the outside. hello, this is a psychic podcast and we continue to pull the thorns out of your hearts and smooth out the wrinkles on your foreheads, but at least we strive to do so. our today's heroes are parents. two years old, 3 years old and two. first, my mother, vera, came to us. and the requests of faith are, it seems to me, understandable, recognizable: how to raise children to be independent, happy, successful, but at the same time preserve yourself somewhere, leave yourself somewhere. it is not surprising that by the time of our meeting, denis was ready to come to our studio and discuss this problem, as was probably necessary. discuss everything together, dad and mom, husband and wife, family psychologist olga

this is what i can say about thomas bach.ly raise the sport and make the sport independent, so that it is not under politicians, so that the interests of athletes were protected, of course he is afraid of such people, he wants every international sports organization to obey him, everything he says, it must fulfill, well, boxing stopped that, before me it was headed by a friend, thomas abbach. yes, he, they did whatever they wanted with boxing , they reduced the weight categories, they brought athletes to the olympics as if they were robes, they made the olympics the main tournament, uh, in boxing, yes, when the national federation kicked out their ward, his network, and trusted me, and their first offense was that they started a conversation young, can’t handle it, all sorts of talk, in the end we closed all the debts that they... created before, they amounted to more than 100 million dollars from the international association alone, uh , they withdrew money for various expenses that were unnecessary for the international ass

well, in the end this may happen, but it will happen, if not very soon, thomas bagh is rather worriedared himself to be. and as a commercial functionary, because we must not forget that any so-called alternative to the olympic games, if it grows, definitely frightens thomas bach from the point of view of just a commercial alternative, where certain funds that the olympic the committee actually usurped it a long time ago and expects to spend it on its own. i am a supranational structure, and let’s not forget that thomas bach , having really discredited the olympic movement with all his actions, has already made it clear to the whole world that it turns out that sport can be put on, well, practically such paramilitary or something like rails, because that persecution, arranged according to the teachings of thomas bach and officials of the international olympic committee... the attitude of russians and belarusians shows that the same can happen to any other country, so of course, today china is the main, i would say, asian partner in this initiative of russia and chinese athletes will co

thomas blamed her, so she blamed herself. she is now for the first time after 20 years coming to the realization that she was just a child. the school district failed to protect her. they protected him instead. it wasn't right and they need to be held accountable. >> reporter: thomas was arrested march 8th by san jose police. at the time of his arrest he was still working at leigh high school and los gatos high school. cerri says she questions why they protected thomas over protecting a child. >> you wonder why, right? you see that he was an acclaimed coach. he was coach of the year multiple years in a row. you wonder were they protecting the image and reputation of that program and the school? >> reporter: based on the attorney's investigation, she believes there could be more victims. anyone with any information is asked to contact sjpd. >> san jose police arrested 49-year-old duc nguyen, 50-year-old kim ho and 30-year-old dayton pham in connection to the kidnapping and torture of a man in san jose. police say the man was t

so clarence thomas can deal with this issue by ignoring it. and there is no remedy other than impeach. >> wouldn't take an act of congress to get some sort of rules in place for the supreme court? >> absolutely. and that and that has been raised over the years the justices have suggested there might be constitutional problems with congress imposing rules on the supreme court but we don't. that's an academic question. this >> point, since there are not some of these texts from ginni thomas, are they appear delusional? thomas writes to mark meadows >> this is yeah. >> she writes, helped this great president stand firm mark, you are the leader with him who's standing for americans constitutional governance and the precipice the majority knows biden in the left is attempting the greatest heist of our history. but look at the >> language constitutional governance her husband is in charge of what are one of nine people in charge of what constitutional governments governance is in this country. and this case on to be argued later, later this month is

it's unclear what ginni thomas said to eastman in the emails. but when she testified before the january 6 committee in 2022, the panel's chair said ginni thomas told them she still believed false let's claims that the 2020 election was stolen from trump and she testified that after the election, she'd hoped that state legislators could identify fraud and irregularities in a timely manner before it was too late. she also testified about her texts to mark meadows saying, quote, i regret all of these texts explaining it was an emotional time all of this a glaring problem, say democrats and justice thomas is simply refuse to disclose what he knew. and when he knew it about his wife's insurrection activities. >> as the supreme court's nine justices, including clarence thomas, will soon rule on whether trump as immune from prosecution related to january 6 democrats argue both justice thomas and his wife have an interest in the outcome of donald trump's prosecution? and in making jack smith's case against trump go away. >> there's a very direct conflic

first, thomas bach has retrained and is now training professional spies.e problem is whether those people who really support the conflict in ukraine deserve to participate in the olympic games. if they support the annexation of ukraine, how can we determine whether these people support the russian government? now those who support the government cannot take part in this. we have a special a monitoring commission at the ioc level , which also works with an independent company, they monitor the internet, the media and public statements, so that if an athlete appears somewhere with such statements, he cannot accept. this is now a new functionality of the mock, and if somewhere there is a mention of russia in a good what do they talk about with each other in chats and key, then such people should not be allowed, and even better, involve some kind of independent organization in this, well... i don’t think there’s any need to explain further, it will be some kind of washington company, and it’s even better to involve ukrainian colleagues in this, as he says, who

, even though the alleged victim knew that sarah thomas was sean thomas's wife. >> it was not obscure, it's clear as day, he's having with me, and the wife blamed her. instead of putting the safety of students as top priority here, she protected him, and she said how could you do this to me, after everything i've done for you?>> for the first time, after 20 years, coming to the realization that she was just a child.>> in a statement, they said although the current leadership team was not at the district in 2003, they take the allegations seriously, and they are deeply concerned. our foremost commitment remains the safety and well-being of students, family, and staff. we will continue working with law enforcement to protect the community, and support any victims in this case. at this point, the alleged victim does not have to detail what damages she is seeking, expect except to say that she wants better district policies when dealing with these kinds of situations. san jose police say they cannot provide any more details, because it is still an ongoing investigation. in san jose, rober

the district did not stay when thomas is still employed by the district but a sarah thomas is listed the staff directory. the district said there's different leadership than there was in 2003 and they're taking these allegations seriously and cooperating with the investigation. sery says she became pregnant and he forced her to abort it. >> what a burden for a child. she's 16 weeks before she was able to do it but he insisted she do it. >> doe's assist term spoke to us by phone. >> for so many years ply says terry thought it was her fault. she felt so much shame and guilt specially half being forced to abort her child. thomas blamed her so she blamed herself. she's now nor the first time after 20 years coming to the realization she was just a child. the school district nailed to protect her. they protected him instead. it was not right and they need to be held account. >> thompson was arrested march 8 by san josÉ police. at the time of the arrest twlees working at lee high school and the los gatos. seyy wron deers why they protected him. >> you see he was an a claimed coach, presents

wife of sean thomas. she went to the dean, and thomas reportedly told her, according to this lawsuit, that she blamed her, she blamed the teenage girl, saying how can you do this to me, after all i have done for you? apparently the teenager was crushed, went away, and took the blame for it, all that time, it wasn't until she was eight and adult that she decided to come forward and produce this lawsuit that was filed last night, and will follow the criminal charges that sean thomas already faces. you robert, you also got a chance to speak with the victims sister today, what is she saying?>> she said first and foremost, she was echoing a lot of the allegations that were in the lawsuit, confirming the details, saying that she did go to the dean, she did trust her and take her word for it that it was her fault, and it really devastated her life. her sister was never the same after that, and it haunted her, through her young adult life, and it has really been a burden for her, and finally, after many years, sh

critics and watchdog groups had called on justice thomas to step aside from this case because of past efforts by his wife, ginni thomas to reverse the 2020 election results in trump's favor and because she attended trump's stop, the steal rally on january 6, 2021, just before the attack on the capitol that day justices required to disqualify themselves to recuse if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned. and the fact that we're even having this conversation over recusal means that reasonable people are questioning justice thomas's partiality in the weeks before she went to the stop, the steal rally, ginni thomas, an ardent conservative activist, texts to trump's white house chief of staff, mark meadows, quote, help this great president stand firm. >> marc release the kraken and save us from the left, taking america down mark paoletta, an attorney who represented ginni thomas, wrote in a recent op-ed that her activities at the time were minimal and mainstream. still, ethics watchdog, say clarence thomas should at least explain why he still taking part in a case involving tru

thomas bach will first confirm his very clear position regarding the igor of friendship.onnected with the values ​​of the olympic movement. and we would recommend that athletes and states not participate. we agreed that i would speak on behalf of the european union to support mok's call, this would be an element reinforcing the validity and appeal. can i ask you about ursula's position on friendship games? the european commission, because this is an area where in my opinion, this is part of the discussion with ursula, but speaking on behalf of the general intervention of russia, which uses sport for political purposes, and i am responsible for the european sports model, i am fully authorized to speak on behalf of the commission against... this is such a connection, a planned operation precisely at the political level, that is, they already know what the decision will be, how to do it, how to do it submit, i’m interested in the reaction, i’m speaking hypothetically now, i’m just guessing, there might be one or two athletes there who still... and for this we may need a new

justice thomas's question against him. he was trying to say, hey, you've never used it in this way before. and she said, no, but yes, which is no, we haven't because we haven't had a case where people who stormed the capital attempting to overturn the election. so that was really well done. i think she put her finger on the difference between her argument and the attorney any for fisher's argument, who opened up rather weakly by saying that there's a difference between as he called it, a catch-all and dragnet kinda sounds the same thing to me. it is a catch-all provision. >> yeah. i mean, paul, here we are. i mean, we're almost we were in the thick of the 2024 presidential campaign. we're still adjudicating jazeera six, still making its way through the process. >> it takes time, look, it's a historic case in terms of the number of people who have been charged with think it's taken too much time yes. >> now, i think that a lot of those feelings come specifically about the cases related to former president trump. >> and i do

justice thomas: what is the difference? mr. mcdowell: bloom requires that encouragement overwhelm the judgment of intermediary, -- justice thomas: and what would that look like in this case. mr. mcdowell: in this case, i think you could think of the offer of leniency that vullo made it to lloyd's as either a form of significant encouragement, saying we will go easy on you for legal violations, or as a threat basically saying we will bring these enforcement actions against you if you do not stop doing business with gun groups. coercion and significant encouragement are two sides of the same coin, as mr. fletcher said earlier. chief justice roberts: counsel, considerable overlap with the first case. can you articulate what the differences are with your position in this case and the position in the prior case? mr. mcdowell: there are no differences as to the legal principles. the difference here is there is a specific course of threat, particularly in the lloyd's meeting, where she threaten adverse action in the form of enforcemen

thomas bach, why such frankness?aries from africa, trying to connect them to a conspiracy against our country, but in reality he was talking with pranksters, vavan and lexus. in general, the moment of truth, the behind-the-scenes intrigues are real principles could. politicization divides the world and is contrary to the olympic mission. this is a public statement, this is what the head of the international olympic committee says in a private conversation with the alleged... representative of the african union, the russian pro-olympic committee and our athletes. we punish those responsible for the annexation. there can be no ginn. you can't understand the russian flag. in a conversation with pranksters , thomas bach is frank, talking about nothing more than large-scale surveillance of athletes on the internet. let only will try to support the actions of the russian authorities. we have special ones. the world friendship games will be held in september in moscow and yekaterinburg, where it is planned to compete for 28

he's killed in the thomas farm fields. and what eventually ends up happening as these 35 union or confederate cannon start to tell on the union battle line, they've been pushed up to the front and they start to inflate, fire their the union positions. so if you if you are a union soldier, you've got no choice but to flee. and so the union battle does begin to start buckle and break. ironically enough, the last bridge to fall is the one held by the least experienced soldiers. the ohio national guard and the potomac home brigade are the last union regiments to fall back off the field. i know it looks like antietam, but this is a sketch in the 1890s of the stone stone bridge at monocacy. tyler's men hold off long enough for ricketts, his men, to retreat behind him. and then tyler pulls out and the growing dusk. so we've got our two bridges, right? we've the burnt covered bridge. we've the stone bridge. that's our last. our last bridge. what about george davis and his merry band of skirmishes? we come back to the bridge that s

as always, good to l talk to you. -- what thomas mike has talk to you. —— what thomas mike has to sayon mabon, professor of international politics at lancaster university. welcome to bbc news. we have seen there that president biden is vowing ironclad support for israel. what would that mean in your view? it is re would that mean in your view? it is pretty robust _ would that mean in your view? it 3 pretty robust rhetoric i think. it is interesting listening to your correspondent, the sense that biden is talking about an ironclad commitment and a robust response, is to try and deter iran but also to ensure israeli calculations and strategic decision—makers that they are not going to be alone in this. it is about maintaining a firm commitment to israel's territorial integrity vis—a—vis a possible iranian strike, but also at the same time to deter that iranians strike. biden is talking to two different audiences here i think. iran biden is talking to two different audiences here i think.- biden is talking to two different audiences here i think. iran did say that it would _ audiences he

we know from the january 6 committee that clarence thomas's wife was encouraging chief of staff markeak the law in any way necessary to overturn the presidential election when there was no legal method for overturning the presidential election. not surprisingly, clarence thomas show today that he does not think there was anything special about the january 6 attack on the capitol. he does not think it is fit -- different from any other protest we've seen in the past. >> there have been many violent protests that have it interfered with proceedings. has the government applied to this provision to other protests in the past and has this been the government's position throughout the lifespan of the statute? >> it has certainly been the government position since the enactment that it covers the myriad forms of obstructing an official proceeding and is not limited to some kind of evidence impairment clause. >> have you enforced it in that manner? >> we have enforced it in a variety of prosecutions that do not focus on evidence tampering. i can't give you an example of enforcing it in a sit

for this portrait by thomas aiello and thomas aiello, one of the great american portrait artists, the 19th century. and he was also known to flatter his subjects. so if you to have your portrait done, you would probably want solely your artist. now, we want to remind our viewers about the book america's collection that just came out because i'm seeing something that reminds me of that. well, they are a pair of vases that made in paris for the american market and americans absolutely loved porcelain. in fact some of our first presidents would go to france to choose their service for their dining room table and remind us about america's collection. america's is is our book. the first one in 20 years. and we are so excited that is finally out that at all the artifacts up here in the museum. absolutely including some of the pieces we have here. that's with eagles. why eagles? it's an interesting time period you think of after the revolution, americans began to embrace national symbols, not merely in their ideas and in their writings, but rather in their interiors. and here we have a coupl

according to maria zakharova, people like thomas bach discredit the olympic movement.ore about the reaction to the scandalous statements of the head. usurpation of the right to sports and the complete reluctance of the international olympic committee to dissociate itself from politics. the statements made by the head of mog in a conversation with russian pranksters, as noted in the kremlin, are primarily damaging to the olympic movement, in particular by revealing the fact of surveillance of public statements of russian athletes. if this is a commission that could work to monitor various statements so that they would not... be attracted not just like that, but knowing about the friendship of some of them with russian athletes and taking into account their knowledge of the russian language. the foreign ministry compared such behind-the-scenes agreements with the german tradition of denunciation and called for an investigation to be launched against thomas bach before nationalism finally crushes international sports. that people like thomas bach discredit world sport, th

katyal: so, justice thomas, our position and ms. vullo's position is it i not one illegal insurance product, it is all legal. the attachments of the colaints attach the consent orders which make that clear. the nra never got a linsfor all of the affinity products. it is their burden to prove -- in other words, unlawful insurance product is in the complaint,hey never identified in the complaint. we spent a huge amount of time on this and call them out. to this day they have not explained one lawful proct that was ever issued by these three insurers. and that is why we think if you arasking yourself is there an obvious likely explanation for what is going on, that is what it is. that is why the consent orders -- justice sotomayor: sorry, these affinity programs could have been altered, and these consent decrees and what she was seeking was a ban even of potentially lawful affinity programs. i mean, if they had taken out enttionality provision or the criminal activityrovision and just insured for accidents wi guns or things like that,

maybe if you are cynical and think okay, maybe samuel alito and thomas are going to be outliers. but, the fact that it looks like there's at least four, it's going to be, to me, it looks like 5-4, one way or the other on a case that i agree with neil is so off the charts tells you how inured we are to trump overtaking what this country is supposed to stand for. >> what i thought i was counting was a majority, clear majority saying, no, there is absolutely no such thing as absolute immunity, absolutely no such thing. i don't know what neil gorsuch was getting at at certain spots there, where he was saying things like, well, you know, if you, samuel alito said if you do that, order seal team six, you don't have to worry about that because seal team six won't obey the order to assassinate hillary clinton. and then neil gorsuch was saying, made a very clear point to say, to trumps lawyer, so there's absolutely no doubt that subordinates of the president can be prosecuted for exactly the thing you are saying the president cannot be prosecuted for and trumps lawyer said that's right, i
