she will serve the rest of her life in prison. thejudge has imposed a whole life order which means she will never be released and lucy letby will spend the rest of her life in prison for those crimes of murder and attempted murder of babies she was caring for. we have been getting continuing reaction to that sentence on bbc news. i spoke earlier to doctor malcolm stewart, a retired medical director. questions have been asked about how lucy letby was able to offend in this way and so long, and how questions, concerns raised were not acted upon by senior clinicians and management at the trust and he explained what he thinks needs to be covered in the independent inquiry that will be carried out into lucy letby's offending.— that will be carried out into lucy letby's offending. there are key cuestions letby's offending. there are key questions that _ letby's offending. there are key questions that undoubtedly - letby's offending. there are key questions that undoubtedly the | questions that undoubtedly the inquiry will want to ask. these are
special charges for trump? i mean, there are cases quite regularly about people who take secret documents and those people go to jail. there's a lieutenant colonel, a retired lieutenant colonel who was sentenced in tampa at the beginning of june to three years in prison for doing a similar thing. he took, i think, 300 classified documents home and he kept them in his house in a storage pod in his driveway. it's reminiscent of the same thing as keeping them in your gilded ballroom or chandelier bathroom, which is only locked if it's occupied. and he ended up pleading guilty and he's going to go to prison for three years. and so this is not abnormal, this is not anybody out to get
the sources and methods of how we collect on adversaries have been compromised and i am stunned that somebody at that level could have so much access so the question is how did he get it and why did he do it and we -- some people need to be fired over this. >> in an op-ed posted on foxnews.com, a retired army officer writes that the documents leaked deserve a closer look. he says the leaked intelligence documents sound alarm bell regarding america's role in ukraine's war. it's past time that president biden level with the american people about our interest and whether our continued role in that war could escalate into something much worse. we are waiting to see whether or not this will have any impact on both the u.s. and ally strategy when it comes to ukraine. the white house repeatedly said it's in it for the long haul to help ukraine with whatever it needs. we don't expect the president to talk about the leak today no. public events on his schedule. but the man accused of leaking those documents in the first place is expected back in court a little bit later on this week.
counting the votes in the electoral college certification on january six. there are some experts who say no, one of those experts is judge michael luttig, a retired federal judge who was best known previous to this for advising plans on how he should conduct himself on january 6th. right? so i spoke with pence is a big deal. the second question is even if it does apply, folks like judge riddick or say it should fall away and be on a sliding scale because there is a demonstration of need. there were conversations between trump and pence that nobody else participated in, particularly on the pen side. they were not even overheard by aids. that's what chuck smith will say we really need those conversations, we need pants to testify because nobody else has that information. >> so then there is the ask of both jared kushner and ivanka trump. subpoenas put out there by the special counsel right? frank bowman, former federal prosecutor telling slate this, they will have a little bit of a problem refusing given that they've already testified to
he is warning if this theory were adopted it would increase the laws that the state legislature replace the popular vote with political preferences. another legal luminary, a retired federal judge who testified before the january 6tht6th hearings is co-counsel on this case, arguing against the doctrine. saying this is without question the most significant case in the history of our nation for american democracy. he says, don, it is the whole ball game. >> poppy, that was amazing. thank you very much. appreciate it. take a look at what's next. so that was morocco booting the mighty spaniards straight out of the world cup. we're going to have sports this
james cleverly told the bbc he wanted to see it fall by a significant number. what is certain is a lot of politicians in the government are putting their revocation on the line with this, not just the revocation on the line with this, notjust the home secretary, but the prime minister himself. rishi sunak has said he is determined to get a grip of this issue was of recesses becoming minister, apart from all the work on the economy on the cost of living crisis, this is the issue he is going to be focusing on the most and that means that he ultimately will be judged by whether numbers do actually come down. i think it is worth saying what is not in this agreement as well as what is, what we are not seeing is any talk of turning boats back at sea or authorities intervening once the boats take to the water, they don't think that would be safe, but no talk either of any sort of returns agreement, which could see people who land here in kent actually returned to france or other eu countries they have passed through. that is something the government
a tipping point pretty soon? that it's just not sustainable. we have worked so hard and continue to work hard on ensuring we are improving the quality and the durability of her clothing. we do not want customers to buy something and then discard it. we want them to buy, love, and keep it in their wardrobe, hand it down to their friends. no holding back here. christmas shopping has started early in the high street. are you spending a bit less this christmas, then? probably not, no. working more. and we are looking for the best possible deals. i think this is going to be a massively promotional christmas. black friday is going to be earlier, partly because that is the retailers want to get them going, partly because the world cup is coming and retailers don't know how that is going to play out. but these people are looking for really good prices and if they don't find them, they will not be buying products. and unlike last year, there is plenty of stock retailers really need to shift.
