jim. thanks for having me. i was so sad to hear about it because i ve known tony for years, probably i think since i was a teenager when he came through new orleans was the first time i met him. i remember aside from we could talk for hours about what an unbelievable musical talent he was. but he was so nice to me, always so kind, his arms were always open, so encouraging. i laugh when i think about it because he was the kind of guy i would love to have him come on stage and sing with me, but you also had to be careful because you knew who was going to get the most applause and it wasn t going to be me. i m sure a lot of singers felt that way, but how did tony bennett s unique impact on pop and jazz inspire you because it was such a unique and iconic voice? yeah, his voice was one of a kind. you know, he just had this incredible ability to interpret the lyrics and an unbelievable

it is also the longest bridge in europe. putin quick to speak out. translator: another terrorist attack was perpetrated overnight on the bridge. there will be a definite response from russia. the ministry of defense is preparing relevant proposals. new satellite images of the bridge show traffic brought to a complete halt. a top russian official estimates the bridge will not be fully functional until november. even the smallest interruption to traffic on that kerch bridge is going to have a profound impact on russians when it comes to resupplying. this isn t the first time that the bridge has been hit. a massive explosion severely damaged the kerch bridge back in october. in that event it took four months before it was fully reopened. the 12-mile bridge isn t just a supply route, though, this is really a point of pride for putin.
