automated automation of some of the lines. but it takes, as you said, it takes a lot of time for that. between you and me, do you think the london tube or the london underground would work more efficiently if.if they used autonomous trains? in general, autonomous trains bring a better regularity so actually the headway is between two metros. if you go to very short headways, only automated trains can achieve this kind of headways. but now to automate the line, it s a huge investment, to be fair. so you cannot do that on the new line. 0n the new lines, a lot of metros are now requiring automated lines. for new lines, but for existing lines, it s a huge investment, which is, of course perturbation when you have to move from a non automated to an automated line. so it takes a lot of time to do that. so it s a long, long process. henri, are you operating in russia and ukraine right now? in ukraine, we have some staff in ukraine, a limited number, a little bit
well, it s probably the elephant in the room that nobody seems to want to talk about and that is brexit. clearly, it is presented the uk with major economic headways in the last couple of days and the senior member of the bank of england advisory panel says that he thought of it was not for brexit and its complications, and the level of austerity will not be needed and i can quote just briefly from the report, which the government is based on today and the latest evidence is that they ve had a significant impact on uk trade by reducing overall trade volumes and the number of trading relationships between the uk and the eu but of course, the government which is very much season talks about brexit as an opportunity but the opposition party does not want to talk about brexit very much because it sees it as a risk of upsetting those who voted leave in 2016 and it s out there
crime, crime, every ad that lee zeldin puts up is about crime. ron desantis is having huge rallies, getting close to the sitting governor in a blue state, he s talking about crime. glenn youngkin joining him on the campaign trail. republicans have made crime a central issue, and you re uniquely suited to talk about this. you governed the nation s largest city, largest police force. the defund the police talking point, bogus, few democrats support that. that said, republicans have made headways on the issue. crime is up and there are concerns about policing. there are concerns about district attorneys and suspects getting back on the streets. how can democrats counter that message which is proving very effective for republicans. it is. people are fearful, and there s fair reasons that people feel it. the first thing for democrats to do is empathize, the second thing to do is to say where we re going. there s the adage in baseball,
average american has been waiting and watching in the weeks since the horrifying shooting in buffalo, and since the tragedy in uvalde, they want us to act the for the attention of the nation turns to something else, and they want us to act before the pressures that have prevented competence of gun reform legislation in the past begin to work and to fray this group of 20 who are committed to each other and this project. we are in the midst of these national tragedies, one after another. to think that a group of senators can come together and take major but important steps forward for gun safety is nothing short of a political miracle. we are not at the finish line, but we can see it. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell have this reaction, quote, i continue to hope their discussions yield a bipartisan product which makes significant headways on key issues like mental health and school safety, respect the second amendment, earns broad support
caucus, you know, it s a very it runs very differently than a primary state. and they go into a caucus with like a number one, a number two, a number three because that s kind of the game of how you play this. and so they re going to go to all of these different events. they re going to look at, study and look at these candidates and they re going to kind of feel these folks out and come out going or go into the iowa caucus with like a top two or top three choice. clearly going for their first one, first choice going into the caucus. but what i think is important to also i don t know if this polling reflects this is that no one is going to get that democratic nomination if you don t get the black vote. so in terms of the top four that are polling, at least in the poll that you showed, you know, very few of the four have made headways with african-americans. joe biden, yes, obviously, he s polling highest. but warren is not. sanders is not. and buttigieg is not. and so it s impo
