it's their kids because this is not a problem that any african parent has well you never get anywhere there where the danube we like what why don't you mind your own business are you aware that what is your problem maybe that's why i was too busy asking so that's how it ended up on the beach that you can say you just don't know i don't know they often doesn't know something you know what i do know how to bits children both fatima about progress more about but just as you know does have a good point single used plastic is wasteful man we gotta find a way to stop using it and i don't know how exactly i also use the stuff i mean i was thinking maybe we can find a way to just carry a knife and fork with us at all times like hanging off our belts like a cell phone used to and it won't wait if we'll do it could do together people or how about this we never use these third fingers let's just replace them
utensils surgery i always have been with you moving on the catholic church is celebrating pride month in the most catholic church way possible it was stated day says the vatican issued an official document rejecting transgender identity it also called gender change a trend the document called male and female he created them is the catholic churches burst statement on gender identity but france's has repeatedly argued that people cannot choose their genders the vatican also said that changing norms in their identity contributes to the stabilization of the family yes that's right the catholic church has released a statement condemning transgender people saying that its on natural which is disappointing but it's not surprising and when we all know the church thinks if you're born a girl
girl forever and if you're born a boy they gonna try and you and let us be clear let us be clear on this gender change is not a trend has been around for thousands of years but if it was one of the church care about it so much how come to church isn't warning us about other trends you never hear the pope saying it is again god's will to wear supreme there's only one high beast and his name is jesus christ oh and get this best near this part of the vatican's rationale is that transgender people go against its belief that god made men and women to reproduce which festival transgender people can reproduce and secondly again why do you care you don't even let your people we produce right numbs onslaughts of sex right priests congo little boys pregnancy yeah that's right to pitifully a joke i've got away with it the first time of course i was gonna go back for more which is the same thing the preset about touching
boys pedophilia job or you don't like it pull you should transfer me to a different perish we're probably gonna do the same thing for i'm done and finally some help news if you're wearing a football right now you might want to get up and walk ten thousand steps away from your tv new questions about the supposed health benefits of those fitness trackers that millions used as more americans make health priority many are turning to tat knowledge he the fitness tracker has become some kind of the obsession with ease obsession really good for you some worry measuring fitness diet and sleep could be taking a toll on our mental health research founded make activities that were once enjoyable feel almost like a job they really powerful tools for positive change
they can trigger anxiety or obsessive thoughts and sometimes cause us to go a little bit too far that's right experts say that fitness truckers are making us anxious and logic because we spend every morning try remember where we put it which is what i do i burn a thousand calories work on my apartment trying to find the damn thing then i put an organism try to get your steps and unlike bitch i need a nap now but this study this study claims that these fitness actual our phones can be bad for our mental health but only if you think about an area is bad for your mental health tinder is depressing twitter toxic and that full app is the worst you can't delete it just keeps on ringing i'm even old for even mental health apps are bad for your mental health adam meditation up that was supposed to help me relax but also do a stress me out ten times they will be like have you meditated yet time to meditate hey trevor don't forget to meditate eventually just like delayed who so much calmer that's
for the headlines does move on charming story wash up for decades the soviet superpower has been america's number one rival though is the cuban missile crisis meddling in the twenty sixteen elections and on twitter they choose tom cruise to an eminent fight and nobody can figure out why and just when we thought russia's antics couldn't get any crazier a few days ago they pull this move on the high seas we begin this evening with a dangerously close call on the high seas between a russian destroyer at a u s war those ships coming within think of one another forcing the americans to take drastic action to avoid a disastrous collision this image capturing just how close the ships came to a catastrophic collision as little as fifty feet
turning to the u s navy this video from the deck of the uss chancellorsville showing the russian destroyer was so close you could see russian sailors sunbathing on the deck week lord russians a hard core utilise these ships are about a crash into each other american shoulda soldier like repair for bridge and the russians we need to think of your shirt let's get some time before we die you don't want me jesus is based the beach but this is pretty crazy this is pretty crazy a russian warship basically tried to ram into an american ship in the middle of the ocean and beyond that had to be on purpose i want of excuse is they do know how big the ocean is you have to really got of your way to collide with someone is like walking into
i'm gonna take cruises birthday party there's no one else there are hopeless now the question is the question is where would russia get the balls to play chicken against american pacific well maybe it's because they got a new and powerful bf just as president tromp was beating america's most important allies in europe too of america's biggest adversaries were holding court in moscow it was a split screen tailor made by russian president vladimir putin potent hosted chinese president jean paying g calling putting his quote best and bosom friend saying he cherished their deep friendship the two enjoying leisurely boat ride in saint petersburg yesterday that's right g and couldn't have gotten so close there ve been taking boat rights together and not just the normal boatwright putin even help g recreate that seen from tat tonic whose i guess i'm cannot though more rarely china taking over the short clear trend
and russia are really hitting it off because you only take a boat ride with someone if you really really like them or if their enslaving you but this is like it if you think putin giving g about right is impressive wait until you see what she gave putin in return the leaders visit also include some panda blow me say during their summer puttin a g showed off their friendship with a visit to moscow zoo where they welcome too new chinese pandas a gift from g to russia and china likes you one of the signs of that yellow light good alliance and good families is to present you with a band russia got to that's right china gave not one but two pandas to russia which is huge cause one panda comic babies
two pandas also carpet there's hope and remember china only gives pandas two countries when they wish to be close allies with them right actually call it panda diplomacy this is real thing panda diplomacy not to be confused with panda expressed diplomacy where i convince them to let me use the bathroom even though i didn't buy anything and technically this is interesting technically china didn't give russia japan is right the russians just get to keep the panthers for a few years yes which by the way applies to every pending the world china owns every single panda at the world so at some point they have to go home and i guess it's because china doesn't want the panthers forgetting the chinese route manipulative pakistan new jersey how long you been when the panda gets back to china is like what is this ban are summed up a google or life better g there anyway i can do about it
as all day but the point is china and russia are getting super close and the consequences for america go beyond both rides and cool bears the russia and china continue to strengthen their economic ties there also expanding their military cooperation chinese troops take part in massive drills with russian forces last year the level of cooperation between russia and china has not been this hyacinth and nineteen fifty as they are combining forces against us this a russia and china can coordinate cyber attacks and military that can knock you s forces off belts china and russia teaming up against the united states of america could probably handle china or russia but not both at the same i'm like imagine if in rocky for ivan drug was fighting and then jackie chant jump in the ring to help now would be the end of rocky be done let me know rocky five no rocky balboa no rocking goes to space no rocky and the sorceress stone and carefully
no fifty shades of rocky none of those not beyond geopolitics the personal elements of this romance is probably something that's gonna bug donald trump because don't forget he wants to be a part of this club he loves those do we know how much he admires putin he talks all the time about he engaging paying a great friends so to see his two best these make plans without an that's gonna hurt and i dont think that he's dealing with his feelings in the most mature way do you as president donald trump is readily new tariffs on another three hundred billion dollars in chinese goods this if presentation thing doesn't meet with at the upcoming g20 summit wow rarely trump he's gonna put tariffs china if she doesn't hang out with him that is so childish if you come over to my house and play video games then tariffs

you're already bears bombings were bad enough that your your mom sent you to nigeria we're dead from right and you thought you were going there for the summer yes you some has gone for a couple weeks i quickly learn that that was not the truth how did you learn that was september in school starts in september in new york and i called it we're together this call centre by the way we get i've all the ways the night in the middle of it elijah wasn't lagos rights and drive three hours to this call centre the way in line you can get on the phone we get there and i'm like so much like september one of my coming back home and she's like that's not insulin respects not until you liked backed kwame hello hello that i just drop the phone also of so crush so you haven't lenders backed now not yet how long did it take you to come back to the u s two years while that's a long time to an unknown respect
my mom like lift me and my journals like so you don't respect out immediately like yes ma am i have learned respect can i go now but but you you boys have the spurred inside of you were like you you ve push for what you wanted to do and you did a two years and logistical it's it's a completely different world then you come back to the u s rights was interesting is how you told us or of growing up in a world where you know you you you were lucky enough to go to a private school but you lived in a place that was basically hood adjacent you and you you got caught up in gang culture you got you got mixed up with the wrong group of friends how did you like see your life when you turned room when you were a gang was that something you like prepared it was something that just happen to know it it just happened you know i talk about it in the book how i really got into it and i got into a fight and then after that fight i was it was pretty much an initiations into the gang behalf and see no i don't think
in that year plan you know sometimes are a product of an environment which is unfortunate but also we can get out of their mentality is well right you know and for me it was a moment that barack obama walked across stage and it became president of the united states and i i think that i would see a black president in my lifetime i voted for him and everything but you know fifty five years ago we could never needed the same restaurants is you know why people everywhere and to see that it was it showed me that i can do anything i put my mind to that's really of a beautiful part of the book is where you're telling the story about how you're selling drugs you living in this house where you know people a high you also high and then you see barack obama walk out there and he is now present of the united states and you like i gotta get my shit together
that's that's it that's a powerful moment how do you even begin that journey like what you know what she bore uncle bomber yes but i mean it wasn't easy no so for me was removing myself from that environment was the first thing so i was selling drugs i moved to the regime and mother move thereafter graduate school right so i started doing the only thing i really knew how to do it is working with food and i just look at one day at a time and i told myself every year i just wanted to be doing better than i was doing last year and you know ten years later here i'm sitting across talking you yeah man you ve u dont amazing job especially in the cooking space because like it's it's not easy drew drew to win a war as a ship it's not easy to be the head schiff you know at one of the world's biggest hotels that is something that you have achieved do you look at your life has what got you to this point i do think you got to this point despite the life you lived limited both you know i think
you choose your own path most times you know you you choose how are you going to react to a situation but it it's it's not easy and you just have to take it one day at a time you know when i got the helm of this huge restaurant i will be quite honest i had no idea what i was doing right now clue but it was the same thing okay we're going to work on one thing at a time and we're going to get better at this one dish at a time and every day we just try to do a little bit better than we did the day before one of the most fascinating book is when you talk about raising money to achieve your dreams and now you don't want to sell drugs anymore so you decide to go and sell candy on the new york city subway yeah right which is hot at selling drugs or selling candy on the sub there was no one pays attention on the train they have their challenges spoke with them have their town yeah is extremely more lucrative than the other
to be honest with you i don't know which one to be honest we're not going to get into cuz you made a lot of money selling candy you made twenty thousand dollars in a few months just i'm selling candy what's funny is i haven't really said the story i did a dinner at did pop ups around the world and i stopped in miami and one of the guys used to sell drugs for me he lived in miami so i was okay i changed my life around you gotta come to my dinner and i talk about my story so we're sitting there and i get up in front of the whole dining room and i'm like yeah you know i sold candy in order to save up for my kids come in and he never knew this pardon me right he's like candy right like in the middle z skopje what when you
look at young young people now who may look up to you i mean you know it's it's it's no it's no secret that there are many use out there who are products of the environment you find the lure of selling drugs getting into a gang really difficult to resist and you are living in life now which is legal successful and inspirational when young men look at you when they read your book what would you hope that they take away from your story that anything is possible you know if you really put your mind to it in you work and you put an hour's and you just outwork everyone else you can be in you can be successful in any failure in right i dont think this book is just for young shafts i don't think it's for black chefs i think it's just for for anyone anyone to really see that if you really want something like if you really really want it you can achieve it and that's what i want people to walk away from reading notes from young black chef
