Just going to be smooth sailing. Its good that African American patients that suffer from major facial deformities are aware that there is an option for them. I got a phone call and he says, oh, we have your dad. We just all got in the car and we rushed over there, so. They described exactly what happened with the accident, and then, i was just in shock. Yeah. One thing i like about my dad is his love for the lord. I can really lean on that. The role of faith means everything to my godfather. We were thrilled and our prayers had been answered when he woke up. But what we didnt really realise is what we were up against. He was burned over 75 of his body, mostly upper body. He had lost his lips, a part of his nose, a part of his ear. He was almost unrecognisable. My godfather has since been through upwards to 40 surgeries. If it were me or somebody else, we would dwell on whether or not we were going to survive, or dwell on how we looked. You know, hes the type of person thats always goi
Speaking at a news conference, the White House Press secretary, karine jean pierre, said more was needed to be done. So this level of aid remains insufficient, and we want to continue to press israel to increase the level of assistance moving into gaza. We understand what ijust laid out is not sufficient. We want to get more in. We are continuing to have those conversations with israel, and we have seen some progress. We need to get more in. On thursday, us troops anchored a long awaited Floating Pier which will soon enable aid to enter gaza by sea. Hundreds of tons of aid has arrived in cyprus, where screening takes place before being loaded on to ships for delivery to the pier. But the pentagon stressed this would not be enough to meet the needs of people in gaza. The purpose of this temporary pier is to deliver critical humanitarian assistance to the palestinian people. The pier is temporary, and not meant to replace land routes into gaza. And last, this is an internationally backed
Welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. Let me begin with something you said just last month. Europe, you said, hasjust a few years to change its thinking from the la la land of post cold war complacency. What is this la la land youre talking about . Well, its probably. I think, in international relations, there is always a time when a big change happens. 1918, 1945, 1989. And 1989 was, for me and many of my kin, The End Of History the thought that all 200 Nation States in the world would revert to the best form of governance, which is democracy, Market Economy and globalisation. But that ended in my mind in February 2022 when putin attacked ukraine. All the International Institutions rules are being challenged. So the la la land that we used to live in doesnt exist any more, and we have to readjust. I mean, in the most literal sense, you seem to be saying that europe needs to learn from some of the things that finland does in terms of preparation and readiness for the worst case scenario. Yea
Are destructive and hostile us policies. Vladimir putin is in beijing for talks with xi jinping, during which they vowed to tighten military ties and deepen their economic partnership. Our china correspondent laura bicker reports. On the west he as a pariah but in china he is a key partner is a key partner as beijing seeks a key partner as beijing seeks a new world order. One not a key partner as beijing seeks a new world order. One not led by the united states. The red carpet was rolled out, complete with a red army welcome as they walked together in a show of defiance against western pressure. Mr perton needs china. It has become an economic lifeline for an isolated and heavily sanctioned writer. Putin. Translation china will always be a Good Neighbour and friend with russia. Mr neighbour and friend with russia. ~. , russia. Mr putin he would inform president russia. Mr putin he would inform president xi russia. Mr putin he would inform president xi on russia. Mr putin he would infor
