happened yesterday that it is not happy with the way the united states is pulling out. it said it wants stability in afghanistan because of what it wants to do with china and central asia to create a link between central asia and pakistan, to give them access to pakistan s big sea ports. so there s a lot up in the air at the moment. there s also, of course, the question of what s going to happen to the possibly impending crisis of afghan refugees into pakistan. pakistan has said it s not going to be accepting more refugees into the country, it simply ka cannot afford to do so anymore as it has in two decades past. we have borders open for trucks and goods and perishable items but civilians are not allowed to go boogt. we ve just seen an announcement
in just two days. a whole bus tour. here is what politico writes. klobuchar is the one candidate widely viewed in iowa by local party officials, campaign operatives, and her competitors as having the last, best chance to disrupt the caucus field. for those who aren t comfortable with biden as the nominee, whether they think he s too old, they re worried about his previous debates which they think weren t that great, does klobuchar have a real shot here? oh, sure. look, this race is very static, there s a lot up in the air. klobuchar, what s interesting is she s peaking at the right time. the warren campaign, you could argue, peaked early. and were is beto o rourke? beto o rourke started a whole new career after running for president. but the klobuchar campaign is peaking at the right time. you talked about how she s born storming iowa. and the fact that she really does kind of satiate the concern of a lot of moderate democrats who want an alternative to joe biden. there are g
invites to participate in the upcoming hearing, no thank you. so what is next? garrett tenney in washington with more on that, hey, garrett. good morning to you. this could speed the impeachment process along. since the white house decided not to participate in the house impeachment hearings, monday s hearing could be the last. there s a lot up in the air, in terms of the exact timing. if that s the case, it s possible the judiciary committee could hold what s known as a markup session later this week where they actually write up the articles of impeachment and that would set the stage for the committee and then the full house to vote on the articles the following week, right before christmas. this morning the top republican on the house intelligence committee says the white house is doing the right thing and previewed why republicans are already looking forward to this reaching the senate if it does pass the house. why would you even think about showing up to participate in someth
report could be delivered to the attorney general any day and likely within the next week. pete williams and i reported in december that mueller was wrapping up and a report was likely to be sent over to the attorney general as early as mid february. i always assumed that could slip a little bit. we re now closing in on the end of february. and this week we ve seen many other news organizations catching up, and they are also being told that a report is imminent. as you said, it will be a confidential report sent over to attorney general william barr. that s what the rules say. it may be a voluminous report but it will be secret. then it will be up to the attorney general to decide what he can release and how he can release it. there s some mention of a brief notification to congress but there s also precedent in watergate for congress being sent a full grand jury report for a prosecutor in the event there are impeachable offenses. there s a lot up in the air here but there s an expecta
this week, many of the parents had to be deported because they had come up on that time and they deported and let their children stay here since they could have a chance at asylum. now the government is saying that may be too extreme to try to find those parents. yeah, that s an added wrinkle right there. of the 3,000 we re talking about here who need to be reunited, do we know how many are from parents who have been deported? we don t. we don t have that number. we also don t know how many children have been reunited with their parents at all. up until now, the only children who have been reunited are for those parents who said if they deported they wanted to be deported with their children. but hhs yesterday on a phone call couldn t even get us that number, steve. so there s a lot up in the air, and it is just clear that there was not a plan when they began systematically separating children from their parents in early may. we thought that this would be temporary. they told us it
