Page 2 - Translation Issue News Today

Story as i read it through the second time. in the report from the russian ambassador he made the comment they had a substantive conversation. i think the word substantive was in quotes. im not sure if it was a translation issue or if it was in quotes. attorney general sessions said there was no meeting. clearly theres a disconnect here, because if there was no meeting and no substantive conversation, then this is absolutely false on its face. just period point-blank. completely debunks it, end ...

Of course theyre going to go -- >> i will say jay sekulow, the presidents attorney when arguing on donald trump jr.s behalf on this program and everywhere, was taking the word and quoting the russian attorneys standpoint of what she said in a television interview as a reliable source. so i think -- i totally agree you cant take a russian ambassador, but im not sure -- >> im not vouching for any russian here, but i think that there is a key point in the story as i read it through the second time....

At the same time, the chinese are showing a bit of a measured response in putting the blame on taiwan, and not necessarily aiming their criticism at donald trump himself, which is also notable, because theyll have to deal with him as president in just a matter of weeks. theyre calling it a small trick, which is probably a translation issue with the taiwanese. and saying it -- it is a concern if this, in any way, changes the nature of the relationship between the u.s. and china. now, trump senior...

Quote, unquote, today. he said its translation issue. it doesnt mean never. it wont happen now. do you believe his policy has changed? >> absolutely not. i dont think ever since the prime minister netanyahu took office in 2009 he did anything to further the objective establishment of policy of state. since day one. >> youre saying the policy didnt change but was never for two states? >> no. he used it on monday to try to encourage his supporters, part of his fear mongering, warmongering. his pol...

Before. secondly, which bag? the blue one? the blue one, yeah, thats nice. just be human beings and this could have been solved. >> thats true. rut desmond tutu at this -- you are the desmond tutu at this table. >> i a little tutu in me. i dont want to toot my own horn. >> pab, do you think this was a translation issue, or did she make the assumption that because she was black she couldnt afford it? >> we are over looking the real question here which is why on earth would anyone spend $38,000 fo...

Story of the man who went and pounded on the door of his neighbor and kept pounding until he got what he wanted, which was food for another person. and so i sort of feel like, well, if the door is closed then maybe that alludes to the scripture where we just keep pounding long enough and jesus said its like prior if youre annoying enough, if youre persistent something good will happen. >> father martin, just picking the words apart, as we do with popes, im reading -- and this may be a translatio...

Of china over tibet but calling for dialogue with the dalai lama. certainly he cant be accused of not addressing human rights. i thought president hu -- it was too bad about the translation issue -- also acquitted himself well but probably more generally. his comments were definitely more general natured. >> at one point he talked about promoting denuclearizing in north asia. very general. >> early on he did signal one of the messages that will go to a chinese audience, and that is mutual respec...

Detail, but certainly everyone hearing him knew what he meant. >> any surprises, then, in what they both did? putting aside their performance, th anything you didnt expect to hear? there certainly was no announcement of deals or understandings that we didnt go into this knowing about. >> i dont think there were any surprises. i think obama said briefly that the u.s. had to maintain its forward position in asia. he didnt elaborate that, but that is certainly signaling that the u.s. is in asia to ...

Valedictorian speech. >> we care about the small people. i hear sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies who dont care. but that is not the case in bp. we care about the small people. >> oh, well. it was a good meeting, though. chuck some. >> its funny hearing that happen, it was live. i was standing right here actually doing something with tam ron hal. you cringe and realize this is some sort of translation issue and youre just going, wow, bp, you thought you had a pr problem bef...
