A worldwide problem. How can soil be restored to full health . Ah, thats the topic in this edition of d w science magazine. Welcome to to morrow to day. Soil not only provides us with feed, its also natural habitat, as well as the water and carbon reservoir. It consists of different layers.

What we are doing basically, either destroying the soil date is it now and not renewable at r
Ever called Martha Washington martha. She was always called patsy as Lady Bird Johnson was never called claudia. So i was just wondering, you mentioned in his letters when he referred to her in his letter that it was just mentioned on the telephone that he did call her patsy. And i also wanted to mention that in the story that im reading about martha and George Washington that the house, mt. Vernon, was originally the home of his half brother, George Washingtons half brother. That he lived in a smaller farm. And i wondered if you are going to talk anything about his years as a surveyor or is this really about the years with martha as an adult . Thank versus much. This is actually Martha Washingtons time in the sun. So we wont talk about georges early career. What about the nickname patsy . Patsy, pat, patty were the nicknames for martha in those days just as peg or peggy is a nickname for margaret. The martha nickname has fallen out of favor. Nobody was named patricia back then. The on
With its unprecedented power, is there anything anyone can do about it . I wish i could tell you that were going to be able to stop all interference. But that just wouldnt be realistic. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Tonight, the infamous steel dossier is at the very center of the news on the russia investigation. Nbc news reports that investigators on special counsel Robert Muellers team have interviewed christopher steele. Thats of course the former British Intelligence officer who compiled that absolutely explosive document. The dossier deals an alleged effort by the russian government over a period of years, stretching back to 2013 or so, to cultivate and coopt donald trump and his inner circle, as well as an extensive conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and Russian Forces to Work Together to interfere in the 2016 president ial election on trumps behalf. The president denies those

Jessica. Welcome, everybody. Wayne, im going to start with you. How can the president keep america safe and our economy intact when he wont even acknowledge who the enemy is and very importantly what theyre up to . Eric, i have no idea. I mean, the man if he doesnt know a kosher dell can a tissen from a mcdonalds, i mean, does he know what a bagel is as opposed to a doughnut . I mean this is outrageous. The fact that he doesnt understand that this was a targeted thing, that a kosher deli, these were jews on the other side, you have islamic terrorists.
