Simply getting an unimaginable . Simply getting an unimaginable . Oh, and another school stabbing this time in sheffield. Three people have been injured and a 17 year old arrested for attempted murder. Arrested for attempted murder. And respecting to hear from the police in this hour and ill be asking the question, is this the beginnings of a school stabbing epidemic . And meanwhile it follows news that the 14 year old killed in yesterdays sword attack went to the same school as those of the fatally stabbed in nottingham last june. And thats all coming up in your next hour. Next hour. Welcome to the show. Always an absolute delight to have your company. So, am i being a cynic or is this clampdown on rwanda the night before elections merely a coincidence . The boots are going through the door as if on cue, a voluntary, solitary perm is being sent to rwanda. They get a £3,000 lump payment. They get a £3,000 lump payment. They get a £3,000 lump payment.

Is the incremental additional money that theyve got to try to destabilize the region or send to their proxies, is that more important than preventing iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon . No. So i think again, this is a matter of us making a determination of what is our priority. The other problem with the argument that folks have been making about, oh, this is a windfall and suddenly iran is flushed with cash, and theyre going to take over the world.

And that, i can promise you, is not true. That is absolutely not true. I want to repeat wer
The deal we have negotiated achieves that goal. It make sure that iran does not get a Nuclear Weapon we have always recognized that even if iran does not get a Nuclear Weapon it still poses challenges to our interest and our values in the region and around the world. When this deal gets implemented, we know that we will have dismantled the immediate concerns around Irans Nuclear program. We will have brought the stockpile down to 98 . We will have reduce the number of centrifuges they operate. We will have installed an unprecedented inspections regime.

We will have disabled a facility like iraq the iraq facility from allowing iran to develop plutonium they could be used for a bomb. We will have greatly reduced the stockpile of uranium that is enriched, and we will ha
I was publisher of the wall street journal. I spent quite some time overseeing the Digital Businesses of the journal. I consider myself, in fact, maybe the oldest possible digital native. I oversaw businesses that were based on what we then called electronic publishing even before the internet in the 1990s, so i lived in a time before the internet, before Technology Policy was aimed at encouraging innovation back in the 80s and 9s 90s and before government was heavily involved in regulating communications telephones, other technologies. The internet was different in the 1990s. It was liberating, it was permissionless, it was very little government regulation. Were all beneficiaries of that, and my column tries to identify areas where we may be black siding backsliding or where we may be suppressing innovation or not making the most of this extraordinary opportunity. Host well, youve written that washington is a disaster for innovation disaster area for innovation. Why do you write that
