He was trying to stay above the fray. Brendan, i have not read as mike has, the full transcript. I read the New York Times analysis of it. Again, something for everybody. Times when joe biden, they point out, couldnt remember specific dates. Didnt have specific memory of how some of these documents were handled but they also said to mikes point about sense of humor, mr. Biden went into great detail about many manners, the transcript shows. He made jokes over the two days, teasing the prosecutors and at certain points, he corrected his interrogators when they were the ones who misspoke. Is it clear to you on either side, brendan, that one side or the other walks away with something politically advantageous . Well i think to answer that question, you have to think about where we started from. When this report came out, it was an absolute bombshell, really underscoring the president s difficulty politically with his age. It was a gift to republicans. Now, when you get to a congressional h
Northern isles. It doesnt look like it will last many of us although i think we will hold on to a fine weekend in southern and eastern parts. Low pressure starts to work backin parts. Low pressure starts to work back in bringing the temperatures back in bringing the temperatures back down below average with outbreaks of Rain For Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some warm weather to come thursday into friday. Thats it. Ill be back at 10pm, but you can keep up with all the latest hello and welcome to sportsday im gavin ramjaun. England into the last 8 at the womens world cup but the Lionnesses Ride their luck against nigeria. I think thats what football is all about, fight until the end and being ready at the moment and being able to take the penalties for that of course for us that was great. Not so great though for laurenjames, whos sent off in the second half. How much could that cost them . And the Mathildas March On theyre too strong for denmark, the co hosts putting their early tourn
Georgia stanway missed englands first penalty, but after two nigeria misses, chloe kelly was given the chance to win the game for england and her succesful spot kick sent the lionesses through to the Quarter Finals where they will face either jamaica or colombia. We dig deep as a group and we believe in our ability and first and foremost, we believe in what we are getting told to do. This team is special, we did it in the euros and we are here again tonight and we keep pushing forward. We stuck together as a team. Of course it was a very hard game. We made it through the extra time and we won the penalties and how we did that as a team, the team just kept going and i am so proud of them. Co hosts australia are also through to the last 8 after a convincing win against denmark. Caitlin foord put the matildas ahead shortly before the half hour mark in sydney, after breaking in behind the danish defence. Hayley raso made it 2 0 in the second half as they secured the quarter final spot. Aus
The winner couldnt be found in 120 minutes, so it went to penalties, with Chloe Kelly Smashing Home the winner to send england through to the last eight. So, a dramatic win for england, who move into the quarterfinals to play colombia orjamaica on saturday. Our Reporterjane Dougall is there. Jane, this was far from comfortable and england will feel fairly fortunate to still be at the tournament. England is also very lucky to be here. Nigeria were the better team throughout the match and they had a couple of chances to have managed to win it and put england out. They wouldnt have been the first big team to have gone out because we have seen in america, the holders, go out. We have seen germany and brazil go out in the group stages. England will be feeling very fortunate indeed that they havent followed suit. There have been a couple of major Talking Points in this match, first of all the shout for the penalty where it looked as though rachel daly was pushed in the box. Many of the fans
Earlier, i spoke to dr matt patterson, whos a Postdoctoral Research assistant in Atmospheric Physics at the University Of Oxford and has been following the winter heatwave. He said this is not a common occurance. Its really quite unusual to see a heatwave of this magnitude in the winter. As you said, weve seen temperatures of 38 degrees in some andes towns when we would expect to see temperatures of 10 15 degrees at this time of year. So really quite unprecedented. In terms of the magnitude, 20 degrees more than average, thats comparable with Summer Heatwaves that weve seen in the southern United States, Southern Europe and china this year. Can you explain in basic terms what exactly is causing this heatwave in winter . Certainly. Its a High Pressure system just to the east of the andes, which is basically dragging warm air down from the tropics and bringing that heat down towards chile and argentina. That High Pressure is also compressing the air, much like when you pump up a bike tyr
