A black man several times whilst responding to a domestic incident. Jacob blake is in a stable condition in hospital. Firefighters in california warn conditions will only get worse as they battle to contain nearly 600 wildfires six people have died and thousands have been forced from their homes. And, two british mps layla moran and sir ed davey tell me why they want to become the next leader of the uk liberal democrats. The uk Prime Minister borisjohnson has appealed directly to parents in england to send their children back to school next week. In a statement the Prime Minister said it is far more damaging for a childs development and their health to be away from school any longer. Adding that the life chances of a generation of pupils are at stake if they dont go back. Mrjohnsons words echoed those of the uks four chief medical officers who said the risk of contracting coronavirus in a school is very small. The new term also starts next week in wales.

Premiums and reduce Health Spending all for the low, low price of not causing americans to lose their insurance or their doctors or the hospitals they liked. Today americans know the truth. It was a sham. The lie of the year. Convenient deceits told to advance the far lefts agenda. The people we represent just want the pain of obamacare to go away. But the democrats who run washington, theyve got other ideas. And just yesterday they rolled out the red carpet for a sequel. Thats just what we saw when the Obama Administration announced its latest front in the war on Kentucky Coal jobs. The newest attack is the most extreme yet. The president wants americans to believe that his National Energy tax can somehow heal the planet and regulate the oceans. And he wants you to believe that it can be done without harming middle class families, that, in fact, his massive regulatory scheme will actually create jobs and bring billions in economic benefits and shrink, you heard that right, shrink Amer
Should be made public. Ive written to the acting secretary, sloan gibson, urging that he make public those facetoface audits of v. A.

I respect and deeply so secretary shinsekis decision to resign last week after concluding that his continued service would be a distraction from the urgent and necessary overhaul of the veterans administration. I respect even more his dedicated service to our nation. He is a decorated combat veteran who has led into battle many of
Mesherment that shows that in a more compelling way. Each has a security plan, right . Yes. Has Homeland Security done an analysis of what the total cost would be to bring it up how much total for all of the tier one ports would we need to spend to bring them where they need to be. Do we have that . Do we know that . Im not aware of that analysis. Thats an important question because if you dont know what they need, i know you know where the weaknesses are. If the total bill for bringing our tier one ports is 2. 5 billion, were 12. 5 years from bringing that. By that time youll have replacement needs so the question is dont we think its important to know and heres the total cost to get us where we want you. Which one of those top eight ports, which one has the greatest vulnerability and should we not be spending maybe 70 million at one port and 30 million at the other eight on the basis what the total need to to get them to the level where we feel confident. Well take a close look at th
