well, so u. s. a i d is currently led by samantha power. she is an obama administration darling at one time the u. s. ambassador to the un. i'm also a former adviser to president obama on his national security council. a lot of people up placed the ongoing, the still ongoing, a crisis in yemen at her feet squarely at her feet. she herself has lamented that president obama didn't do enough in syria. and as she advised him, she's very frequently labeled a war hawk. oh yes. now she leaves the country's so called humanitarian aid agency . how do you square her appointment in the binded administration with this new interest in the solomons? oh, this makes complete sense to me. the fact that samantha power heads an organization like usa, i. d, a is an example of an extension of what scholars might call soft power. first of all, you're exactly right, samantha power is a long time war hawk. she's one of the most neo liberals in a neo liberal administration. that's an a lot. it's a lot, she really was responsible for the war in yemen. she was in part

now, at u. s. a. i d, she's able to exert u. s. soft power in the form of international development. as i said, a few minutes ago, building bridges and digging wells, and building roads and hospitals, and electrical grids and, and sewage systems. as a way to, to expand the u. s. footprint all over the world, including in the solomon islands. so the fact that she has these pro war views makes perfect sense to me when the united states is using every, every thing in its arsenal to confront the chinese. she would be the person to do that. yeah, i found that such an interesting, interesting air quotes appointment. so anyway, id, i agree. now the chinese, they view the solomon's as their neighbor on. it's a country in their head fear, as we mentioned, if you look on a map, pretty simple, there's cause for that relationship to strengthen. what reason does the us have for wanting presence on this tiny island way over on the other side of the ocean? while the u. s. thinking is twofold. number one, the australians have asked us to become

i'm not gonna make it a with the u. s. ordered a crack down on the protesters, and through that, supporting to the outfit president better feel who has now been sentenced to at least 18 months in jail by peruse new u. s. government. the africa leader summit wraps up in washington with america's top diplomat, bringing up the west colonial past to criticize russia. the un overwhelmingly adopt a russian brockton resolution to fight to force occasion of naziism. this fight you prayed, and multiple western countries voting against them both with good morning, from moscow to wherever you may be, watching. welcome to the hours most, pressing new stories from the globe. i'm here i'll is about peruse. supreme court has ruled that ousted president federal castillo must remain and pre trial detention accused of inciting a rebellion. the former leader wrote, were made in custody for the next 18 months. while the new government builds a case against them, the verdict comes as crew's. new leadership announces a 30 days state of nationa

as regards a u. s. infrastructure decline, surely the united states would do a lot better investing all this money into the united states and the people of the united states rather than care about a few islands in the south pacific. which sure, some would argue, and none of the united states is a business. well, i, i actually agree with what you're saying, but i would invest them in building ships. i, if you look right today, china has 19 major naval shipyards compared to 7 for the united states. and of one of those that china has jung tao to shanghai, is the same size or is equal to the 7 that the united states has show. for instance, in 2021 china commission, 22 worships in the united states commission, just 3. now people say, well, numbers of worship don't matter. well, china's been beaten us maybe in the u. s. and tonnage for the last decade. and they also out producing us in the number of long range and i ship cruise missiles and other high end capabilities like that. so what i'd like to see is un

u. s. military was conducting during the course of these operations. this is kind of a new propaganda apparatus. in the u. s. military, they called information operations, and it was doing this not just after the fact as propaganda is traditionally been done to sort of val arise the, the actions of this or that military. but this was going on during the battle itself to manage the public's perceptions of what was happening in one of the aspects of this propaganda campaign was to characterize the, the rebel fighters in from the as terrorists associated with al qaeda. and then later, when i says took over the city that even further entrenched this perception of felicia as being filled with extreme listen to the state people, the rockies, living in felicia, suffered because less isolated from the rest of the rock. and they're still suffering due to the war pollution. it's very difficult to do humanitarian work because of the can security and political atmosphere there. so i think doing something like naming a battleship pollution just further contribute to this false sense

the backdrop to this, of course, is russia's warren ukraine. trainer, a u. s. citizen is one of the world's best basketball players, or supporters considered her upon in russia's political game. this man was seen as grinders, best hope of being released. and so it proved victor boot a russian arms dealer serving a 25 year sentence in the u. s. had been considered as part of a prisoner swap, but russia was apparently unwilling to negotiate. while greiner, trial was on going, after her appeal was rejected, craner was sent to one of russia's notoriously harsh penal colonies to serve the rest of her sentence. no, she is on her way back to her loved ones in the u. s. were according to her wife. she intends to do all she can to free fellow american citizens, imprisoned by russia. andy to these kelly no more has more on how much pressure the biden administration was under to secure this deal. here, there has been a lot of public pressure in the united states to get a grinder back home. despite the recent release, we know that the negotiations have not been an easy, a

i mean, the international press institute accused the u. s a violating press freedom in iraq because it said that the u. s. was delaying the publication of photographs that showed us troops abusing prisoners. why apparently the military top ras thought that that would make their job influence a lot more difficult. i remember the battle so well, and now he, we almost 2 decades later, i can't believe that one legacy have events left behind for the people living that of course, the usage of chemical weapons on the people of felicia has had a serious negative long term consequences. for the people living there, i mean horrific birth defects began to be reported. incidents in which babies were dying within the 1st 30 minutes of being born were reported as well. and we even saw a 12 fold rise in the rate of childhood cancer in felicia, after the battles of 2004 there. and there have been a lot of reports have been made since then that link these types of illnesses to the battlefield. findings suggest the enriched uranium exposure is either a primary

so a reasonable person looking at some of the moves that the u. s. made recently would be left scratching their head if they are looking at these things through the prism of logic, reason, and pragmatism. instead faced with any given issue, the e, u, a dobson, ideological virtue, signaling approach and then when it fails, and the g, p. s, navigational system is streaming at them. do you turn? do you turn? you're about to drive into a ditch? they then try to correct course. now any classic example of the kind of ideological driven reasoning that risks being translated into actual policy here in europe. here's polish prime minister mateus more wiki. wondering why some e u countries just refuse through logic to fix the blocks exploding gas prices, which are ultimately the result of their own anti rushing sanctions by simply refusing to pay the market price for gas. some countries which have to deal with this crisis from the point of view of the prices of gas on the prices of oil. do this in a very, very selfish way they do. let's see the bigger picture

that's the argument of a provident u. s. national defense lawyer. speaking out of panel on the case of juliana sanchez sponsored by a think tank, founded by a for mercy, a director i didn't know who they were shooting at. they thought they were shooting at rescuers. of the enemy, and you can under the laws of war, kill the rescuers of the enemy because they are looked at as being the enemy. the raisins editor and chief max blumenthal was at be events. mark said is arguing for the legality of attacks on not only rescuers but civilians in general if they are seen in the same space as the enemy. and in this case, he was arguing that julian assange and wiki weeks should not have released the so called digital murder video, showing a u. s. helicopter gunship, massacring a group of 12 iraqis, including reuters personnel journalists, who are mistaken for insurgence. that was marx, a justification for declaring that this massacre was actually legal and within the laws of war. and further, he declared that julianna's son should have simply gone to the u. s. g

our energy resources are in demand, despite the balance applies and embargoes on shipments to the u. s. a, canada, the u. k. in europe, our resources are in demand because there was a need in the world, and russia is a large supply of oil and petroleum products. we are ready to go for a reduction in terms of production. perhaps this will happen. we believe in the current situation, it is possible to take risks rather than be guided by the price comp policy was great to have with us a new diesel electric russian submarine, leaky lukea has been logged into the waters of st. petersburg. never revive the launch ceremony. took place at the russian admiralty shipyard and some petersburg, the new 4th generation submarine as a non nuclear vessel. in fact, it's whole was 1st laid down back in 2015. and you can see more pictures and more details about this new russian sub at r t dot com. so the united arab emirates on india are on a full scale partnership with both countries, negotiating trading in national currency. so that's according to abu dhabi on bassett at a deli who also outlined the import

u. s. has profits a greatly from the supplies of weapons to ukraine? think that the u. s. is happy to give that money, whether the patriot missiles are used or not. it's also a matter of putting money in the coffers of the defense industry. us criminal institution, i'm forgetting which one, but that they are now sounding the alarm bells that they expect these weapons end up in the hands of criminal elements by the ministration has no interest in handling. and how do we know this? we know this because the democrats voted down to a house committee and a republican proposal to audit the weapons that have already been sent to you. so we know that the us has no interest in being held accountable on any of this or fox news on kids. carlson questioned why washington should be keep, keep supplying care with tens of billions of dollars in financing and weapons due to the historic debt to ukraine, to leave a historic animosity with non soviet russia. no, no. how do we win here? what's in it for us? isn't this our country and where do you good talking to us like that? we have yourselv

these pictures were taken as a u. s. government, a plane touched down in san antonio, texas while ago a deal done between the u. s. and government and russian government so have released in exchange for russian arms dealer, accused of supplying al qaeda and the taliban. amongst many of us a prisoner swap on the tarmac up without the effort. it was hill, but captivity ended for us basketball star, brittany greenow, senior on the left and the russian army dealer weak to boot on the right. you as president joe biden spoke to griner shortly after her release. i'm glad to be able to say the brittany is in good spirits. she, she's relieved of finally be heading home. and the fact remains that she's lost months of her life experienced the needless trauma. she deserves space privacy in time with laurens to recover and heal from her time being wrong through the tank. dryness wife sharelle, tanked those involved and bringing brittany home over the last 9 months. you all have been on so privy to one of the darkest moments of my li

different were every other nation on earth because there are 2 such rules or to set a rule for the what western power to u. s. u. k. a bred in germany, of the nato nations, and then there's a set of rules for everybody else. so in considering what it's been the cover up, right, what can we read into this award? i mean, the considering the o, p. c, w cover up scandal and frances attack on syria back in 2018. following the incident . i think this will go to the prisoners. oh, but sure. i wasn't statement what he said back is legion. warner warden 2018 lisa that he will not accept an award from a quote unquote slavery nation as france has been thrones. colonial history have you looked at what france has done to haiti if you look at what francis done to his african compo former colonial holding onto the south, east asian holdings. even the war in vietnam. are frances, not really in a position to be honoring anybody until they are willing to pay reparations to those nations. and that they have destroyed through colonialism and mercantilism. and think that the remainder of the world is not part of the cool kids cl

but, you know, standing there the national press club seeing us of a former u. s. officials and lawyers actually indict a publisher and journalist was just so full of irony was hard not to protest. ah, and finally the prime minister papa, a new guinea has warned that his nation won't be taking part in increasing tensions in the pacific between us, australia and china. our nation is still an emerging economy. we cannot afford a standoff between our trading partners before new guinea doesn't consider the u. s . a significant tre partner. that's what the countries prime minister sets abiding during his september visit the u. s. i think that the u. s. is very far away from his country. so keep your fights and debates to yourselves. your enemy is not my enemy that's align emerging in the pacific. we will not compromise democracy or relationships with the west as far as democratic values are concerned. at the same time, we will never compromise our trading relationships. earlier we spoke to the director of the center for counsel hedge, a monic studies to madison. he say

u. s. gave her at least a little hope. federal prosecutor here in germany have arrested an employee of the country for an intelligent service for allegedly spying for russia. the suspect, who has only been identified as carson. l is accused of sharing still secrets with moscow. they w as political correspondence, i'm young has more. yeah, this man is a, an employee of germany's foreign intelligence agency. the b and d is a german citizen. and he's been arrested on the orders of the federal prosecutor accused of spying for russia. a he is alleged to have passed information that he obtained in the course of his work to russian intelligence services during 2022. and he appeared before a federal judge on thursday, accused on a charge of treason, and he's now being held in custody. his appointment that his workplace and all the locations have been searched and there is now an ongoing investigation which is a very sensitive investigation. in fact, the head of the b n. d has said that it's important that further details of this n

u. s. specific fleet in a 30 a career in u. s. naval intelligence. he's been the top intelligence official for the u. s. 7 fleet in the us as kitty hawk aircraft carrier strike group to point to japan. he's fellow at the geneva center for security policy in switzerland from where he joins me. thank you so much captain for coming on the show. i wanted to talk about the u . s postal service in the pacific islands and how that at may may be important when it comes to what's happening, the south china sea. but of course, everyone is there while everyone in the global south, perhaps not in nato nation, media is turning to what's been happening in the west pacific. what do you make all of the people's liberation army navy, as an aircraft carrier, the leon ng going into the west pacific? obviously, a china people who support china was saying this is a response to jake sullivan celebrating japan has taken a bolden historic step to strengthen and defend the free and open endo pacific. after japan appeared to overthrow it. so no 1st use of weapons policy. well

u. s. troops fired upon a crowd of protesters and killed 13 people that were simply demanding an end to the u. s. military occupation there. but for many observers, probably the most scandalous thing that happened was the fact that the u. s. used white phosphorus as a chemical weapon in civilian areas. and then on top of that, they lied about it for years. it was only after actually a documentary came out showing previously on showed unseen footage and interviews that we started. c u. s. troops coming clean about this kind of stuff i received from the us department point for susan, susan to leave the weight and dimensions of this tracy rain fresh from use. hampton's, a loosing solution of these attempts to manipulate the narrative of what happened. didn't even stop at these lies about white phosphorus either. i mean, the international press institute accused the u. s. a violating press freedom in iraq because it said that the u. s. was delaying the publication of photographs that showed us troops abusing prisoners. why, apparently the military top ras thought that that would make their j

a lot. and then the u. s. one to cease to be the best for russia, and then to use his money to pay for ukraine. so he's not free, it looks very smart about the damage, the u. s. reputation looked what are the gulf countries, saudi, and other countries look for the u. s. a roof law to protect their private property . no ought to be unsafe for them. so they cannot to invest so much of the sovereign funds in the us. there are more folk song and chinese mccaden other diverse when you measurement. so the americans actually suffered of the long term ability, a paying for the short term entries. mr. mr. you a, well, i just want to jump in if i may forgive me for doing so, but it's a huge amount of money that keeps pouring into ukraine from various professional partners in the west, or the latest financial aid package from america. just nearly $2000000000.00, the us secretary of state saying it will be a relief for the american taxpayer. do you think there is any war fatigue in america among the tax payers when they'r

he is a u. s. citizen who has been held in russian prison since 2018 on charges of espionage, but according to a secretary of state antony blink. and they had no other option that than to do a one on one exchange. meaning, greiner, for a boot, he said the alternative would have been to not have a release at all. a whelan will remain in prison and president biden promised that they will keep on fighting for his release as well. and even to do that extreme for brittany greiner, u. s. president biden said it took painstaking negotiations. how do you think the american public feels about the fact that the u. s. government is striking. deals with russia while it is waging a brutal war on ukraine. care, the priority for the american people. it's all, it's all really that brutal a war in ukraine. many people of course, show sold directly with ukraine, but the war is far away. people don't really feel the impact of the war on the sanctions as much as they do in germany or in europe. so the priority for th

u. s. has no right to make a responsible remarks. according to the latest u. s. defense acts up to $10000000000.00 will be provided over the next 5 years to modernized, tie one security capabilities. so one's defense, ministry says that the decision shows that washington is committed to taiwan, as well as the island security. yes, arm sales to the country have continued to grow, and this is despite the issue straining beijing relations with washington. well again, we spoke to nelson long who's the vice chairman of shanghai center for international studies. and he says that the u. s. uses tie one as a tool in it's multi level strategy with type china. when i think it's quite apparent that the taiwan strait is not at peace at the moment turned the main reason we all know that it's because the u. s. is making use of this tie one issue and trying to to, to play this card so hard as to, to irritate china. but on the other hand, the government has repeatedly said that they respect the one china policy that they do not seek taiwan independence. they won't assist taiwa

victorville, a 55 years old, is a huge figure for the u. s. and for russia as well, we're talking about an arm steeler who worked for okay. for the taliban and for rebels in rwanda, he was a sentence in 2011 on 4 counts that included conspiring to kill american citizens. and he had agreed to sell weapons to secret service agents who were back then opposing arms buyers for the farm. for the revolutionary armed forces of columbia and a boot was sentenced back then to prison for 25 years. you would have been released in 2036 currently and we're just seeing pictures now of a boot arriving in a rush. i thank you so much for your reporting from washington dc. we really appreciate it. well, iran has carried out its 1st known execution of a protest. her sins anti government demonstrations began in september walks, and shikari was hanged on thursday morning after being accused of wounding a security officer during protests activists worn. others could also soon be put to death and that at least a dozen other iranians have been handed sentences for their

a thing. ah, this is al jazeera, these, you top stories, u. s. has joined a growing list of countries imposing coven 19 restrictions on people arriving from china, comes to the day of the beijing announced it would drop all quarantine measures for inbound travelers. u. s. joins it's lee, taiwan, india and japan, and requiring negative tests. anyone traveling from china? whitehouse correspond kennedy hawk had, has more. well, the vital administration is concerned that the chinese government not being fully transparent. and this is a concern that goes back to the start of the pandemic. and as such as a result of the ease of the restrictions in recent days in china as well as what the u. s says, or a spike in cases in china, the u. s. is taking measures to ensure that there isn't a spike of cases of covered 19 in the united states, particularly when it comes to some variance of the i'm a kron variant. there are reports of death, sorts of fire the hotel in cambodia. dozens, moore said to have been injured in the blaze, it broke out at the grand diamon

it's financed by a prominent u. s. states funded organization previously accused of supporting cuz the national endowment for democracy is a nonprofit group funded by the u. s. congress for what they describe as promoting freedom in foreign countries. it's been accused of facilitating cruise and insurgencies. in the former. you can flavio, as well as georgia, ukraine on several arab nations. the organization has even admitted to taking on some roles previously conducted by this cia. a lot of what we do today was done covered lee 25 years ago by the ca. the biggest difference is that when such activities are done, overtly the flap potential is close to 0 open. this is its own protection. i don't think it's funny as we get humorous, but i think it's funny from the fact that america talks about colonialism or that ukraine talks about colonialism in america has interfered with more more called imperialism as interfere with more elections and more the sovereignty of more nations around the world than any other nation on, o

force is more expensive in the united states, we should probably ask, how significant is it for the u. s. a to have a t s mc factory. it can be traced back to the trade war between china and the united states. and there was the pandemic and the war between russia and ukraine. all these uncertainties from the united states to decide that they have to change the game. that it to be able to produce it's on ships. so to push the supply chain, because director in set up factory is the way to do it. as i said, it's not economic. but for the united states, as a matter of national security and something that the years frozen biden has also been alluding to. now what does it mean for the global ship shortage? or there are 2 types of chips order winds to power, automobiles and home appliances. and the 2nd kind are those used in advanced technologies like a i or robotics both were in serious shortage, especially during the pandemic. now the u. s. government is a leading and a strongly promoting local fabrication of wafers over enlarge subsidies as an incentive. so after he has mc entails, then some, a

u. s. pacific fleet. after this break. ah ah, ah she a ah ah, ah, ah ah ah ah ah with ah welcome back to going undergrad. i'm still here with captain jim fidel former u. s. pacific fleet, naval intelligence chief and current government fellow at the geneva center for security policy. yeah, on hong kong. you said the subjugating the chinese subjugating the people of hong kong. do you don't believe the british were subjugating hong kong when it was run by virtual dictatorship and a governor? i ask this because in relation to all those different issues that certainly have played a part as regards sir southeast asian difficulties with china that have sort of sorted themselves out at axia meetings over the years. that isn't the key factor here, that china is brought 800000000 people out of poverty. and that record is what is so persuasive, all around se, asia, as all these different countries in that region are so terribly impoverished weston, no nato nation allies in the south pacific, let alone of even even japan now, perhaps heading for rec

the negotiations took place at a time when relations between the u. s. a and the russia are anything but good. needless to say, a lot of hard work has gone in to making sure this russian citizen could finally return home and be with his family fail, martha? archie, new york. ok, more news to bring you this friday. a must have blaze has ripped through a sprawling shopping center in the mosque was serb. video furniture shows firefighters containing their beliefs, frankly, after a spread of course are reported. span of 7000 square meters, fixed smoke billowed into the early morning sky in the city of him. key with the buildings. roof collapsing, authority say at least one person has been killed in the inferno. its own clear what started the place. official said it might have a nice it in a home improvement retailer, a big one. they're made from a bowl era souls or paints at being stored the damage including the mall, its contents on nearby park cars has been estimated to half a 1000000000 us dollars. serbia saves it's considering sending a 1000 troops into ko

but in the recent mid term vote, a senior, a u. s. security official said there was surprisingly a luck of foreign interference. he said that russia on iran were supposedly not focused on the u. s. they were too preoccupied by b crane conflict. on a wave of protests in the islamic republic were former c. i a analyst, the ants r t program host junk harry alco. say's washington uses claims a foreign meddling to brush off more pressing, domestic concert. there's literally no evidence that any one has found of russian or any other foreign interference in american elections. the mother investigation outlined in the mala report found, for example, that there was no foreign interference. specifically no russian interference in the 2016 election. there wasn't even an accusation of foreign election interference in 2020. and then we geared up for some sort of interference in the mid term elections this year. in 2022, the cia named jeffrey wickman as the intelligence community's director of this effort to rude out foreign interference. and there

i understand that plenty of people running ukraine, the head of a private u. s. military group that trains ukrainian soldiers admits the country is per brought. also confirming camps troops executed russian prisoners of war. and the pentagon continues to delay a response about its role in a deadly air strike in nigeria in 2017 that resulted in more than a 100 civilian deaths as local residents demand and investigation. we know americans the war paula, but whoever is behind these should be investigated. those who are behind this should be brought to justice. the latest batch of late twitter files reveal the usaa ministration pressure. the platform to prioritize information on pope it back seem to fit the narrative of its policy with hello and good morning from moscow to wherever you may be. catching us from. welcome to the hour's top stories from around the world i'm peerless about. russia has banned the export of crude oil and petroleum products to any country comply with the price cap earlier imposed by the west, which moscow brands as a violation of internatio

while the document palsy air strike an example of a u. s. nigerian operations. a nigerian researcher from human rights watch says washington's unwillingness to assist in providing clarity is worrisome. it bound to guns, failure to provide information and talk commends to determine possible u. s. involvement in a nash strike that took manney's civilian lodge in ne nigeria does not bode well for the u. s. government expressed commitment to transparency and accountability. it tends worrisome message that at minimum, the defense department isn't willing to engage from an issue affecting countless lives and may even reflect an attempt to evade responsibility. their camps, residents killed in the air strikes, had been fleeing the conflict in north eastern nigeria where the government is fighting militants and had thought they were safe in that area. nigerian officials have express regret over the attack a local correspond. it brings us more details. 5 years ago and angela mutually a strike, it's a civilian comp and the board at all. no for wrong. 180 kilometers from ma

so was a former u. s. a song book when the now gordon carbuncle toner, threaten which was an l'aquila galley part of from the or the by johnny's sovereign, socialist republic blue. or you haven't signed the mobiles that turn to corporation . or, i mean, and colleagues now tell us the draw chaudry of her miss proposals regarding the status of nicole nickelback while you see for yourself at the know how you normally conduct negotiations. dorian scheduled to come on, you it, tell him what ryan company, mark leonardo you have the floor is really going to reach you. good afternoon, mr. lodge off, but he is from the pope francisco repeatedly proposed that he is entering into right out from it. he had 3 our faults, armor, mutiny, gobbled, and services, and extract his readiness up to you, organized, facilitate his talks between moscow into a key of at the same time on his throat, says the need to take last and solutions and concessions on both parts. when you hear of concessions, what does that mean to you? and wha

so this idea that a, u. b, u. s. is standing tall and taking care africa, africa that had been the case. why hasn't worked? you know, there is a damn be some lawyer and many years ago wrote a book called that 8. and it basically had a rough correlation that the amount of money that is given to africa, countries as a necessary and become more independent or to grow their g. d p is higher. so, you know, at this juncture, chinese not beijing is not asking anybody to choose, and this goes back to your question about what this is. china has to offer. china is trying to be inclusive. they believe that a trade is necessary, that making nations stronger, especially those that it is involved with economically key creating stability, creating larger middle classes. larger markets is a rising tide that floats all ships. so that, that's the approach that they have. this is what she's saying is always talking about and which is often drilling 5 for this idea that there should be a share, a future for me. kind of david, one of the

so this is something that's picking up steam of the u. s. a. the big spending bill that's coming out of the u. s. right now to that includes a provision right now that president biden could sign any day that would also ban of use of this app on federal phones and networks. the whole idea of course, is to save a usda on you where surf is not, not in china. but what's this all going to do to advertise is that's where tick tock gets all this money. exactly right. now i was looking at some recent estimates or does estimates right now that tick tock made $13000000000.00 with a b and ad revenue in 2022. but tick tock is the newest kid on the block when it comes to social media platforms that businesses are putting their ad revenues into . so any kind of hit to its reputation at this point could actually be a pretty big hit. so at the moment, we're still trying to get a sense of what these partial bands are meaning. so if a for sale of more comes out about that, that could be a much bigger blow. so thank you very much for coming in for big tech. just g
