about the senior salute and about an encounter they had after the alleged incident. the next pivotal moment is for owen labrie to give his testimony and this may sway his testimony. this is why. if you recall, he not only says the encounter was consensual, he says they never actually even had sex. last week two medical experts testified who took the rape kit from the accuser. they say there s no definitive, conclusive physical evidence as to whether or not they had sex. so there s a big question mark. there s a gray area for the jury, and that s where owen labr labrie s testimony may sway them. there s also something here contextually that s very important. that s something i understand called the senior salute, a tradition at the school? seemingly, yes. it s something that several witnesses have talked about already, including a friend of his who took the stand. some were saying the senior salute was a way to score when young men apparently had encounters with young women. they wo
we have not been able to see any policy from any of the people running for president right now. they have not been necessarily given the opportunity or the platform to do that. whether they do it on their actual website, some of them are start iing to leak it out. the truth is we ve not been able to be given a chance for any of the candidates to tell us exactly the definitive of what they want to do in certain areas. now in defense of donald trump, he has been able to tell us what he would like to do with china. he has laid out a deal with dealing with isis and the national security and the threat there and whether you like it or not, he has said when it comes to the border, he is going to build a wall and he is going to find a way to make sure that mexico pays for it. that right there now, granted, we need to know specifics but that s more than we ve gotten out of a majority of the candidates up there running for the 2016 gop nomination. i would disagree with you there because jeb
that would mean they re not in the right spot altogether and that would be horrific. finally to you, ken, this notion that this was maybe an isolated incident but there are more than 3,300 of these similar airbus aircraft commercial airplanes flying around right now. i want to get your thoughts. is it safe? reobviously we obviously don t know what brought down this particular airbus. yeah. we don t definitively know. until we get eyes on the wreckage there s no definitive there s nothing definitively causal on what took the aircraft down. that s why it s so important to get that wreckage because you have such a large fleet flying worldwide. the manufacturer certainly wants to know. airbus wants to know what went wrong with this airplane. and i know they re hoping it s not aircraft related specifically but if it is aircraft related specifically
was oscar pistorius mentally incapacitated in some way when he shot his girlfriend reeva steenkamp to death? a pretty kdefinitive answer cam down, no. robyn curnow looks at the decision and what else happened in court after that long break. reporter: after a month-long adjournme adjournment, oscar pistorius entered court, ready for the final phase of his murder trial. mr. pistorius did not suffer from a mental defect or mental illness at the time of the commission of the offense that would have rendered him criminally not responsible for the offenses charged. reporter: the prosecutor reading the results. the state managed to close the gap for pistorius to argue that due to mental illness he is not criminally responsible for the events on the night in question. this is not what pistorius has been arguing, but now he cannot
politics is binary. people win and lose elections. legislation passes or doesn t pass. foreign policy often what you re doing is nuance and trying to prevent something worse from happening. it doesn t translate well into a political environment many times. i mean, howard, is the other issue that there is no way to sort of have a kind of big moment that the american people can grasp as sort of definitive, right, the way the killing of osama bin laden was definitive, a win. you have a country that most americans don t know much about. you have a country, ukraine, in the sphere of influence of russia, not of the united states. you have the europeans who are the principle people at issue when it comes to trade with russia, when it comes to oil, et cetera. i mean, is there any winning this for the president? no, probably not because the only victory will be the absence of a loss. the next thing up, as others have pointed out, is the possibility of putin making a move on eastern ukraine.
