at the same time he has to acknowledge the hurt people are feeling. it s a tricky balancing act. really is. you mentioned joe manchin. he s key to all of this, this massive bill, roughly $200 million sitting in the senate. they re still trying to draft the bill, they re not done drafting legislation. they don t have joe manchin on board. i asked him last week about the white housese argument about that this bill would control inflation and this is even before last week s report came out on those inflation numbers. here s what manchin said. i ve heard that. i don t know how you control an inflation when there s the first year spending will be quite large and that s an awful lot more federal dollars going into a time when we have uncertainty and inflation now. i haven t figured out how spending a lot more on the front end is curbing that money on the back end. biden said he will talk to joe manchin this week. the democratic leaders want to get this bill done before christmas, w
position. sure. so far the courts have not done that. they ve moved pretty quickly with a lot of their rulings surrounding this particular irk shoe. do you see that continuing to move forward? do you think the courts understand that the committee is also up against a timing deadline as well? i think they do. courts are used to dealing with emergency situations, emergency motions, time-sensitive motions. if you think about it, they address capital cases routinely and they obviously have to move expeditiously on that. they know the committee is meeting. they are certainly aware of the calendar and what 2022 brings and another election. they re aware the committee has a certain amount of time to review information now and they need it to continue that investigation. so if they re going to act, i think they ll do it very quickly. i agree with you that his tactic in the past has been to use delays, and he has at times been successful with that. but i think in this case he ultimately m
agenda. when news of our trip broke yesterday, my office received a blunt message from the chinese embassy telling me to call off the trip. this trip comes at a diplomatically sensitive time for the white house. biden just invited taiwan to attend a summit of democracies next month, which china called a mistake. china also condemned another recent trip by u.s. lawmakers to taiwan and argued that it violates the one-china principle. now, biden, for his part, has reiterated his support for the one china principle and thaels where the u.s. officially recognizes beijing over taipei, but he has also said he opposes any unilateral efforts to disrupt or undermine peace and stability in taiwan. so you see the sort of tricky balancing act that biden is trying to enact here. zmelanie zanona, thanks so much. david sanger, this is the third u.s. delegation visit to taiwan since the summer.
seen it at the levels that sadly we are experiencing at the moment. sometimes we might have owners who are on the waiting list, waiting for a space and then we see that dog turned up at the centre as a stray and we also are getting in a number of dogs who are then turning out to have been on sale on gumtree a few days prior, and then they have not been able to sell them and then have brought them into us, pretending they are a stray. how do you go about tackling the issue? is it a case of getting the message out so you can get enough people adopting these former pets? i think so. the biggest message we want to get across to people is that we do understand that there may be genuine reasons why you need to rehome your dog but if you are struggling with behaviour, for example, try to engage with a behaviourist and wait for there to be a rescue space. ring around, get on their waiting lists and when you abandon a dog in this way it puts so much pressure on the system and it also means that
