Yeah weve seen him attack those who criticized him or considered to be associated with back criticize them in some way and now hes lashing out at Laurene Powell jobs shes the majority stake owner of the atlantic as you mentioned the magazine that broke that story and this follows the attacks that he made towards a fox reporter who corroborated the story through her own sources and certainly the coverage on fox has been you know sort of saying following the president s denials as opposed to what their own reporter was reporting but as we know there have been many doubts being cast from his supporters father say this is consistent with the comment that hes made in the past publicly. Said he he didnt make the comments come out to defend him. I mean certainly those within his inner circle or the administration itself there has been a stream of people playing defense this weekend on his behalf as hes been on the offensive for example the veteran secretary has brushed off the story saying its just politics treasury secretary Steve Minucci and the president says i mean he says that the president respects the troops and weve also seen malani a trump with a rare move getting involved by tweeting in defense of her husband but these are certainly figures that we would expect to support the president we havent heard from former Trump Officials like general john kelly for example hes of course mentioned in the atlantic reports but he hasnt come out and made any statements and many say that theyre not expecting him to do that against the sitting president their commander in chief ok lets talk about the coronavirus now its the labor day long weekend and this is where people you know you expect they have parties they get to good though how worried are officials about another spike in the u.

Open the 33 year old was the favorite to win the grand slam in new york but instead the serbian heat a famous line judge threw the ball in the 1st set against spains pablo cut in youll boost it appeared unintentional and djokovic immediately rushed to help the woman who dropped to the floor she later recovered but your conviction djokovic was still injected from the tournament. For more on that im joined by mark cargan from sports good to see him mock bring us up to speed what exactly happened here well it really looked like quite an innocuous incident he had lost they lost that game and in the set it was a breakdown then and it was like he was going to lose on his 2nd set the competition was understandably frustrated but not overly so he kind of swatted the ball away like you or i most what we fly a restaurant but the viewers were sumit wide by some fairly awful got to rule sides from off screen and it appeared it was late to show him that he had actually hit the female line judge somewhere around the through area immediately went to help her. After a lengthy discussion with the much officials and it was then decided that he would he would be full of match and. It was over just in a flash do we know how she is the judge she is thankfully like a she go open and well the way she seems to have she seems to have recovered ok so ok thats thats good at least look roughly on the doll and Roger Federer not competing this year was really in the clear he was the clear favorite he though he did come under fire for going ahead and deciding to compete amid the coronavirus but how much of a blow is this to him is a major blow if you pardon the pun he was going for his 18th major obviously with the 2 major rivals competing against him he would have gone then within one of the dolls record of 1000 and within 2 a feather as of all time record of 20 and hes also been a serial winner at the u. S. Open youve lost one in 20 and he was looking for his 4th tournament so he would have felt that he really could have waltz to the final and everyone else in the draw and theres no not another person in there another man left in the draw that has actually won a major so it really looks like an open field but we are going to see is a new major winner so it will be exciting for tennis and a chance for the young guns to finally get a shot just quickly not running out of time but the ease it be. He had that this was an accident is disqualification to have punishment for a joke of it it does seem harsh but its really is considered physical abuse and theres plenty of precedent one being tim henman the former british number one from he was disqualified from wimbledon in 1905 for similar incident he used these are used behind the u.
