live now to glen descent, political scientist and international relations professor at the university of south eastern, nor where you're most welcome plan. so russia, security service has pointed the finger really sperling at ukraine. they've supplied a lot of information as well to back off the claims your thoughts on the incident the, the developments to well good. if this is the case, if the ukraine is behind this killing, it doesn't signifier yeah, remarkable escalation. a given that this is an a, an attack on civilians, a deliberate attacking once all 5, then as the terrace, the terrorist attack. also, it does signify some escalation on the part of the west, to be honest, because if anyone else can following the western media, there has been very little condemnation from or western governments. and even, i guess they're western media as well as seems to focus mostly on creating a false link, if you will, between google and put them there. so the common phrases on being in a point his brain or the am, unless used as well, isn't it a address? put another point in, or you know, the spiritual

trey: university of south carolina head football coach shane beamer joining us now, i know you love ourhat had to be fun. >> that is what it's about, a special day. you are right, trey. the response of his teammates and how they reacted was awesome there are so many good things still, a great example of one right there. >> you know coach, i think because my wife makes me watch hallmark channel movies but have gotten more emotional the older i get in life, it was his teammates that was even more emotional. they were happier than he was it looked like. >> yeah. and i think that everyone in the room was emotional, not just you. that is what it's about. about your teammates and peyton has the respect of his teammates, i can remember last year we put a young man on scholarship, tray atkins, i talked to peyton about it you continue to do right. i want to reward you going forward as well. and he told me, coach, trey was so deserving, i am so happy for him. great to see everything come full circle. now peyton cany rewarded with a scholarship also. trey: you know coach, everyone in the world is

know of for examples, our colleges and universities, for example, clemson university, has asked to take the name of pitchfork tillman off of one of its buildings. you mentioned university of south carolina, marian sims, he was a gynecologist to experience -- who experimented on african-american women without the use of anesthesia. and a number of local governments are also petitioning the legislator -- petitioning the legislature. and we know that although we haven't been able to vote on the removal of any of these relics, largely, because we are dominated in the general assembly by one party. the republican party has controlled the state legislature for over 20 years, they are simply tone deaf to this conversation. when a legislature does file a deal to accommodate the request of a public university or any other municipality, it stalls in committee. there are two examples of that. i think the path is, for us to now to get a majority, south carolina state constitution allows the general assembly to pass by majority. the heritage act was accepted by that. and now we have a path, and that path, many have requested for us to use it. we will see if -- whether or not we can get past

you don’t take paranormal candles, they really can do harm, as scientists from the american university of southt popular paraffin candles, when burned, emit alkanes, alkenes and toluene , in the breath, which can contribute to the development of cancer, allergies and asthma, and dutch researchers took measurements where lit candles are left for a long time and in large quantities in catholic churches. the result is disappointing . it turned out that the level of pollutants was much higher there than on a busy street, along which an average of 45,000 cars pass a day. the concentration was quite spacious in the basilica. 10 times higher than the street, and in a cramped chapel 20 times, but is there any real danger from a small number of candles and how their composition affects, we decided to conduct our experiment. . we will compare them with more expensive options that are positioned as safe alternatives. for example, the so-called biocandle. we ordered it on the internet for almost 5,000 rubles. this is a small container in which you need to pour fuel and set it on fire. for one more sample w

he's heading up the global and national security institute at the university of south florida and that is giving him more time to reflect on what happened during this withdrawal. another thing that concerns him, he says, is now the u.s. intelligence picture in afghanistan is so degraded from when there was a military and diplomatic presence in that country, now they only see about 2% of the intelligence that they had access to back before the u.s. withdrawal. >>> china announcing it will send troops to russia for joint military exercises. the announcement comes at a perilous time when china is flexing its military might around taiwan and russia is in the midst of its brutal invasion of the ukraine. the last time the chinese military participated in exercises like these was back in 2018. beijing insists the joint exercises are unrelated to the current international and regional situation. india, belarus, and other countries are reportedly planning to participate in the drills as well which are said to begin in about two weeks. struck a chord in saudi arabia sentencing a woman to 34 year

scientists from the university of new south wales say atlantic ocean circulations, which in part take climate change. and this could mean more frequent la nina conditions — and therefore flooding — in eastern australia. what we see is that the heat is not transported any more i i from the tropics to the tropics| and then it causes the northern hemisphere to cool and i the southern hemisphere to keep the heat. so there is a contrast - between the temperatures in the northern hemisphere i and the southern hemisphere. and this difference _ in temperature causes a massive disruption in the atmospheric dynamics and changes - the atmospheric circulation . in a way that puts the tropical pacific into a la nina state. so it's quite interesting, because what happens l in the atlantic, it can impact| the tropical pacific and it can have implications for the whole globe, including australia. - back here at imperial college london, i am with dr fredi 0tto again, she leads the world weather attribution group here, to get some final thoughts from you. what stands out for you from what we have seen,
