Eastern europe. About 2,000 troops are going to poland and another 700 are going to rumania as well as other countries in the southEastern Flank of nato. The reason for this is because of the anxiety these allies are feeling in the midst of this massive russian troop buildup in ukraine. The president did hint at this last week. He said he would be moving those troops to Eastern Europe in the near term, but he did not say when that would be happening. We are told these deployments could be coming in the coming days. What were told is this is coming at a time when these allies are feeling very, very anxious about this russian aggression there, and this is a show of support for those allies. This is not a precursor to any kind of u. S. Troops on the ground in ukraine. This is just those troops going to Eastern Europe to shor ....

Mmm the more you know. How important is it that so many people who were speaking so strongly to the grand jury and presumably will to a jury, are republicans . I think it matters quite a bit, chris. I think in the world of politics and media it may matter because it suggests that it isnt just the Democratic Party that is out to get donald trump, but i think in court it also matters. Their Defense Attorneys will always be looking for an example to crossexamine witnesses. If they say you are a member of a different party, that can be used to undermine credibility in the eyes of the jury. When they are aligned with them in the same political party, this really takes away the opportunity to suggest that they are just making this up. So i think it bolsters their credibility in the eyes of the jury. Speaking of the eyes of the jury, lets go to what you witnessed today, the com ....
Endured when they were young. Heres laura kuenssberg. I always believed the press would kill her in the end, but not even i could imagine that they would take such a direct hand in her death. Charles spencers fury at the way the press treated his sister, diana, made him famous. It is a point to remember. His anger at her funeral, raw, after years of intrusion and pain. A girl given the name of the ancient Goddess Of Hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age. Decades later, theres been a frenzy around the current princess of wales, kate even around a family photo. But does the rumour and online speculation compare to what diana endured . No, i think it was more dangerous back in the day. The circumstances of her death were so shocking that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldnt do. Not because they had a moraljudgment, but because it ....
Whatever family they are born into. Charles spencer also said the press attention suffered by his sister was more dangerous than the attention online focused on kate, the current princess of wales. Princess dianas brother was speaking in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the bbc s sunday with laura kuenssberg. Earlier i spoke to graham satchell, who has been reviewing the material in the interview and asked him what was the main thrust of earl spencers comments. Well, this was a searingly honest interview with earl spencer, and at times difficult to watch, to be honest. He has written a book about his experiences of his childhood, particularly at boarding school, and he talks about suffering shocking levels of violence from the age of eight and being sexually abused from the age of ii. He also talks in some detail about his experience at home with his sister, princess diana, and particularly suffering at the hands of a violent nanny, nanny forster. And this is what he had to say ....
