The how many cubes mckennan, thanks for being with 3 European Countries have said they will recognize Palestinian Statehood. Israel reacted and really onto the Prime Ministers of spain.

Hi everyone i am carolyn greer, the producer of the brooklyn book festival with my colleague ms. Koch. We are in our 12th year this season and so delighted to have all of the fabulous authors participating. This year we had a very special circumstance with this particular program. Which is very important and very compelling on the subject of refugees. We decided to go in a different direction and do it from reporters. Telling from their insight and experiences in the field. And what happened is actually some reporters that we were having come got stuck on current assignment in the field. For instance patrick kane was going to come in his book is quite wonderful and he cannot be here today. And Oscar Martinez in san salvador is doing an investigative report right now.

We hope that you will e
