In patiala here and elsewhere within the country. Really, really lovely to hear and lovely to see. Were just seeing as youre stood there, samira, some pictures of the young girls playing. And and of course, we all know cricket runs deep in india when it comes to the world cup, is it going to be Cricket Mania . Well, i think its going to be Cricket Mania for a few reasons. One, cricket isntjust a game here. Its notjust a sport. Its almost treated like a religion. The fans are quite exuberant when it comes to their teams.

And even one of the captains of the Indian Cricket Team was asked about this and decided to be demure about that kind of answer, not to jinx it. But whats important to note is that, yes, mens cricket is going to be here on the global stage, but womens cricket has really taken off in terms of mainstream interest. Earlier this year, india had created a womens profes
Of rabbits from the hat during party conference, he was under a lot of criticism because of the hs2 farce, so he has picked on one of the biggest groups in society, which are smokers. We have to remember that to put this in perspective, Smoking Rates have been falling for 50 years and they continue to fall, and the current Smoking Rates in all age groups are the lowest ever recorded level. So there is absolutely no need for this type of draconian policy. This is only going to fuel the black market because it will not stop young people smoking, they will simply get their tobacco from the black market, and of course once they are older they will get it from abroad. But there is more important issue, thats the whole in fertilisation of british society. Once you are 18 you are an adult and its up to you to choose whether you wish to drink alcohol, whether you wish to drink alcohol, whether you wish to drink alcohol, whether you wish to Smoke Tobacco and of course, fewer and fewer people ar

Opponents to this mine think that this is just the beginning, that this whole area will become one massive Mining District. And when you ask Lithium Americas it is pretty clear that that is exactly what they want. I know there are concerns that this whole area, that is the stunningly beautiful, might end up becoming a Mining District. Well, we think that we can mine right here for many decades, even beyond what we are permitted today to mine. Do you want this area to be a Mining District . Do you want multiple mines . There has to be more in the United States. If the United States is going to be self sufficient, there has to be more, there has to be more developments. We are looking for more, we are looking for more in this immediate area, but we are also looking elsewhere throughout north america. The people at this protest are already looking at how they can strategise to protest against other mines planned in the area. There are actually five companies exploring, five different Tran
