and other aid agencies are conducting a sort of quick assessment and various things have rapid response units on hand to help people who have lost their homes. it s estimated that around 500 households are being destroyed, and to give you some idea, we went there this morning. we saw the destroyed houses, it looked almost like i hope oi m not being too graphic. you have this very black environment with smoke coming out of the ground and distraught people trying to find what s left of their possessions amid this very, very sulfurous smell as you described. my colleague suffers from asthma and couldn t stay there for too long because it is a very, very powerful smell. and obviously you work for unicef. this is terrifying and traumatic for adults, but for children who would have had to deal with this in the middle of the night and
kathy kylie was the former washington news director for bloomberg politics. she quit in 2016 when he was thinking about running for office. so kathy, remind us what happened then. why did you decide you couldn t stay at bloomberg back then? well, i feel a little bit like i m living in ground hog day the movie. this is very similar to what happened and what really precipitated my decision to leave bloomberg. the same sort of directions were given, and only it was not yet an official campaign. but i felt that that wasn t ethical, and it was just an unten shl situation for me as the assigning editor to be in. unfortunately, they ve had four years to think about this, and they haven t come up with a better solution. i m really sorry to see this. but is it possible that they ve come up with the least terrible option, the least terrible route by saying we re going to cover bloomberg s
