the winter olympic adventure continues. we are in aberdeen on a dry ski slow peer following our exploits on the ice in the curling yesterday in edinburgh. it is on this slope that kirsty muir strapped on a pair of skis, and who would have predicted that at 17 years old, the youngest team gb member in beijing, would have contested a medal overnight. she finished an impressive fifth in a brilliant ski big airfinal, as the mixed curlers missed out on a bronze, as they lost to sweden. there was a chance that could have been the first medal. two others were back out on the ice for their bronze medal, but they couldn t win, they did lose out to sweden. joe lynksey reports. the weight of medals at these games goes on. they feel it hardest in
a fight that they re going to win. and it is a fight that will unite the democratic party. as he has political trouble, one of the problems is democrats see him not succeeding, he s got some choices that can succeed. i think the early front-runner is going to be ketanji brown jackson, whato was just months o confirmed with 53 votes, that is a sign that she could win confirmation again. and so, again, joe biden has now got it fight after so many fights that he couldn t win that he can. kevin russell, you clerked for justice breyer in the mid-1990s. you know him well. what do you think tipped the scales for him to retire? i think he s publicly said for a long time he didn t want to die on the court. he is getting up in years. i agree with other folks who suggested that he doesn t want to have the experience that justice ginsburg had. he cares deeply about the court
a big part of 22 will be my hope is the political environment is the democrat improves, i think it might. we have a long 11 months between now and then. but if the wrong people come up off the these primaries, the rumpiest people we this a year ago republicans should have easily taken over the senate. but they had people who couldn t win elections. what is amazing is you have seen an entire party bow down to this person who doesn t care a single bit about any of them. it is a remarkable thing, it is all about him. the other thing i would say is i am curious to see how democrats utilize and weaponize this. basically, donald trump is attacking mechb mccarthy, mcconnell you can t trust him. but republicans need him to turn out and pacifically put them into power. i think the trump thing is super
the war started but for two years president lincoln wouldn t let them join the army. then when he realized he couldn t win without us, they were enslaved. they literally end up with uniforms on and rifles in their pockets. if you think i live in a world that s out of control and there s nothing i can do it about, there is something you can do about it. you can take lessons from people who tell stories here in this museum. i think it s liberating. we re making this film about how we tell the story of the civil war, and i think you guys distanced that unit, right? yeah. what did you think? i think it s like, oh, the civil war, you know about it. but when you start to learn about it, there s so many like intricate details of why things happened. i think it s important we learn about it.
time. i don t know. i ve always been a firm believer in it because i think the people should be able to believe what s going on but when i see what is going on is quite frightening. i was astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendant s post arrest silence. that s basic law. it s been basic law in this country for 40 years, 50 years. i have no idea why you would do something like that. you know, paul, i saw that and i want to make this clear to anyone out there, you know, legal twitter or legal commentary. there is not a prosecutor on the planet, okay, johnny cochran mixed with mccoy from law and order couldn t win a case when you have a judge behaving in this particular way. paul, my question for you is what does this do to people observing this case? is this judge that common and if he is that common, what hope is there for future cases that have
