Of the central region where farming activities are nearly impossible, which means that food security is extremely heightened. theres a lack of food for many people. schools are being shut down, which means that students are not able to access education. and there are reports that some are even being indoctrinated by groups. so it doesnt sound as though the russians are the solution to the problem any more than the french were. they want to present themselves as a hero, as a brave force that is h...

Questions being asked about u.s. intelligence prior to the russian invasion. u.s. intelligence got the russian intentions very right, said all along russia was going to invade, what they got wrong was the ukrainian capabilities, the fact that ukraine would do frankly such a good job fighting the russians. if the united states had known the ukrainians would be, frankly, so good, what might have been different? >> i dont know. i can tell you that i think it was past experience that dictated what t...

Reality. i wonder, youre saying if hes not going to run for re-election, which is pretty hard for a lot of people in the west wing right now to imagine happening, when do you think would be a good time, youre saying he shouldnt wait, when do you think that would be the best time for him to make that announcement? >> for the democratic party, and maybe for the country, early in 2023 would be optimal because that would allow candidates who arent necessarily well known to put a campaign together, a...

We published, i said wed get to a few more hundred roles and wed get the majority outside of london. thats not the plan now that were pursuing. im not sure that anyone could have moved as fast as we have done to get offices up and running in leeds, and in manchester, and glasgow and bristol and to get them staffed up at the rate we have done. but while the comparisons are perhaps limited, the bbc moved the whole of 5live. it moved bbc breakfast, it moved bbc sport. it moves significant chunks of...
