Now on bbc news talking books. Welcome to hay festival, now celebrating its 30th year. Hay brings together scientists, historians, novelists, musicians, all of them here to discuss their latest ideas and stories. Today im interviewing the multi Award Winning author elizabeth strout. Her six novels, all of them have received critical acclaim, but it was Olive Kitteridge that received the prestigious pulitzer prize.

And now we have mueller who doesnt seem to care that hes sitting on top of a totally illegitimate investigation. But the thing about the dossier that she paid for and the fact that the fbi paid steele, it was designed to misinform the American People with russian lies, to influence the election. Yes.
