for example, sham election audits like the ones still taking place in arizona. the brennan center for justice reports that similar partisan reviews are now taking place or being proposed in wisconsin, in michigan, in georgia, and in pennsylvania. quote, the proposed election reviews failed to satisfy basic security, accuracy, and reliability measures and the auditors themselves fail to meet

from our very brief history together, arizona senate president karen fann isn't really somebody who likes to talk to the press but she actually did today and it came after this extremely bizarre senate hearing. that really just read like greatest hits of election conspiracies. and she doubled down on something she had told us, previously. that she believes this audit, this machine count that you're seeing behind me, that's going weeks long now. that it is the starting point for a national movement. here's what she said. >> this is the start of a whole-new industry, probably. much less, a process in the future, where voters are gonna start asking questions. that's it. if you cannot be respectful and do it one at a time, then i'll call it. >> now, that was her getting up and leaving when reporters, like me, we just started asking her questions. presenting her with facts. and she took off. now, republicans were looking to 2022 are watching all of this

praising arizona republicans. despite what arizona-senate president and leader of the effort karen fann publicly says. >> this is not about trump. this is not about overturning the election. this has never been about anything, other than election integrity. >> reporter: her e-mails tell another story. obtained by watchdog group american oversight last month, fann writes in a december e-mail that she spoke with mayor giuliani, at least six times, in two weeks. and mentions a private two-hour meeting with giuliani and the trump-legal team. in november, fann writes she asked the trump-legal team to, please, file a lawsuit to halt vote certification in the state. she tells another voter, last december, about a personal call from president trump thanking us for pushing to prove any fraud. but fann wasn't the only elected official who received calls from the trump orbit. maricopa county board supervisor, bill gates, got a voice mail on christmas day, 2020, from then-trump lawyer rudy giuliani. >> maybe, we can get this

in arizona, a similar so-called audit is still under way months after it began. an audit many election officials in the state have called a sham. joining me right now to talk about this and so much more, the lieutenant governor of pennsylvania, john fedorman running for the u.s. senate next year as a democrat. lieutenant governor, so good to see you. >> hi. thanks for having me. >> okay, so this usualpush for audit after two other legal audits. do you believe that there will be a third? >> no, there won't be a third.

i've been talking about arizona and pennsylvania. but you know this well. this kind of nonsense is actually going on in michigan as well. >> it most unfortunately is. our legislature has been considering legislation for the last few months. there's been efforts to have similar activities to what's

and in philadelphia and pennsylvania, you end one the same situation you in arizona.

that's what happened in arizona. >>> u.s. district judge j.p. bouley claimed he would not

when he was lashing out into the late john mccain, a hero in his state, he brought his when in arizona saying he didn't lose because he criticized mccain and began talking about what an awful person he was, how he was a flip-flop or that nobody could rely on many people who agreed and rightfully so was one of the president's best lieutenants. most loyal, most in the weeds of getting donald trump reelected. he was ecstatic to describe to us that bill barr failed him in the end and got worried about media criticism and failed by not doing what he needed to do to investigate and prosecute the allegations of fraud that trump said existed and called nonsense. he finally gets to tell his version of the reality. even if it doesn't stack up with the truth, he gets to say it. >> a lot of the coverage in your book that you've gotten with glowing reviews and you've made news everywhere with this which also is an estimate to how much is there, the idea that a presidency that was reported on so exhaustively for four years and especially in the past year, you were able to get jaw dropping new inform

we already know from the arizona case that proven intentional discrimination with section 2 is going to be very difficult. >> right. >> and we need to have something in place just to stop a lot of the nonsense that we're seeing right now. we need to send a message to the next person that wants to be -- i won't name him on the show, but i think that you know that there are a couple of governors in the union that would like to follow in trump's foot steps that basically think the same way that he does. >> you may not want to name them, but they've named themselves. while we still have time, congressman, you said on the energy and commerce committee in the house, and we're watching the senate in this rare thursday saturday -- rare saturday session as it awaits the language in this infrastructure bill. i don't have to tell you that many lamakers and activists have lamented just how much energy these negotiations have required, but since we're here, what will this bill's passage mean for your district and for that matter, others like your district? >> yeah, no, absolutely. i live in fort

, this bill is that it creates a kind of gateway to passing that larger bill, and senator cinema of arizona one of the swing democratic votes has said she won't vote for a 3.5 trillion dollars reconciliation bill, but she says she likes some of the elements in it, raising the question of whether she would vote for the new entitlements and some taxes if the price tag were reduced to say 2.5 trillion dollars. that's the state of play. that's the game that's being played by the democrats now, connecting the infrastructure bill to the larger entitlement bill. >> paul: bill, the portman camp, that observation of sinema saying 3.5 trillion dollars i'm not for that, is proof that the senator's political calculation that this will make such a bill less likely to pass. that was the evidence for his point. is in fact that evidence for his point? >> no, i don't think it is. i think dan interprets that the way it was. she didn't actually say she wouldn't vote for the bill. she said she wouldn't vote for the 3.5 trillion. is it a republican victory if we get that down to 2.5 trillion plus the infrastruc

my name is christopher hamilton, i am an associate professor at the university of arizona and a planetary volcanologist. we're here in geldingadalir, which is a new volcanic eruption that has occurred in southern iceland in reykjanes. iceland provides an ideal testbed for being able to test different kinds of drones for mars because the wonderful characteristics of the environment are actually very similar to what we would expect on mars. so this has been a really exciting year for mars exploration. the drone ingenuity has demonstrated flight on mars for the very first time, being able to operate in a very thin atmosphere, about i% of what the earth's atmosphere is. is it still giving you that warning? no. the other drone we are using has a larger payload, has a number of different cameras and zoom functions, really beautiful, but also a lidar instrument. so lidar uses light to be able to range the distance between the sensor that is emitting a set of photons and a surface. it's a world first to be able to use a drone—based lidar to image the lava flow and develop a time series topograp

one example was in arizona, the phoenix fire chief complaint we've ordered millions of dollars of personal protective equipment that keeps getting hijacked before going to the city of phoenix. i wonder what steps fema is taking to prevent this kind of unpredictability from happening in the future and is there any investigation still going on about that or what can we do to take additional steps to make sure we don't have a bridge to nowhere? mr. currie: thanks for the question. that was one of our recommendations last year early in the pandemic. there's no doubt there was a ton of confusion early on between fema and the state and local governments about who was making decisions where federal supplies wound up and where they didn't. we heard lots of stories about supplies showing up they didn't ask for and supplies they asked for never showing up. one of our recommendations was fema needed to get a better handle on communication and coordination with the states on that prioritization. when we made that, they thought we were already doing that, but they have taken a number of steps to improv

lewis voting rights advancement act, and understanding that it is not just about texas but we see it in arizona, in georgia, in florida and in a number of other places. and also, people are encouraged perhaps by the daylight that there is with senator manchin and the possibility of a negotiation to create legislation that's workable and can get enough support to get passed. >> but you're right, it is an incredibly important story which is why we here at msnbc for the last four or five weeks have incessantly been covering it because it has a national domino effect as well. this rally in austin, it is coming as the texas democrats, as you know, left their state. they are trying to block restrictive voting measures, but republicans have certainly been hammering away at them for leaving, including during a congressional hearing this week. do you, julian, have any concerns of the optics of lawmakers fleeing texas? do you think it might dilute the concerns of voter suppression? >> i think the lines have been drawn very, very clearly. the legislators seem to have been doing a good job of informing the

unstable air that is writing up through the sierra nevada due to the monsoonal moisture coming in from arizona, southern california and once again affecting the sierra nevada. we are talking inclined, south way, south way, yosemite and all of those cities and further south into southern california. there is a flash flood watch in effect through the evening and we've had those flooding concerns moisture running off quickly from the burn scar area. so keep that in mind if you are in the mountains and unfortunately this is going to be the case throughout the day this weekend but we are looking at that likelihood of the cooler air in the inland valleys which is the good news. you can see scattered clouds from our cameras, 69 in mountain view, 67 in san jose so pretty mild to start out. pacifica even in the low 60s in san francisco 59. you can see fog in the district, it is starting to clear in santa rosa, 78 in vacaville but fairfield has southwest winds over 30 miles an hour and we are in the upper 60s in the inland valleys. you can see how smoky it is in the mountains here, so we've got a foggy

what is happening in arizona where you're primarily based, is there a fear of covid cases, are you getting overwhelmed? >> well, definitely it's happening across the country and just to touch on rgv, griff, this is where the issue is. i'm hearing they have 10,000 bodies right now in the detention facility. 8,000 of those have still have not been processed and what happens there is you start removing agents from the line so they can take care of some of that processing. don't be surprised, we have seen it before, don't be surprised if they start shipping and putting individuals on planes and transferring them over to other sectors so they can get processed there and in turn get released in the other states. you know, that's always been the threat. we've always heard the rumors of that. griff: yeah. >> we have seen it before and it's going to get difficult. griff: so, art, that's extremely important and the numbers i saw in the last 24 hours which yourself you referenced and i am privy to, they want the information out. 9,901 deportable detainees in custody right now. explain why that is a r

this is good for arizona. a week ago, 84% of the state was in the highest two levels of drought. a few days ago when the new drought monitor came out, the number was down to 52% because of rain they've been able to get. the problem is it is not the only state in drought. 96% of the western states are in some level of drought. yes, adding rain into the mix is certainly going to be helpful. the reason we started to see a shift of moisture going from the southwest surging into the pacific northwest, they need it there, too, even if not much. most areas are about an inch or so of rain. remember, doesn't take much to be beneficial. even a half inch of rain, that's it, that's enough to stop spread of the ongoing wildfires. if they're able to get two inches or more, that's enough to extinguish fires. there's plenty of them, not just in washington, but oregon, idaho, montana. 83 active wildfires out there. yes, jessica, they could certainly need any rain at this point would be beneficial for a lot of the areas. >> sure looks like it. allison chinchar, thanks so much. >>> hi, everyone. th

we have been working with students from the university of arizona and also the university of iceland and the reykjavik university, and they are doing a greatjob being able to develop some new experimental types of drones that are able to push the edge of what can be done. this large drone is a beast, it has two 6 horsepower motors and over 1.5 metres wing tip to wing tip and is able to lift potentially 35 kg. today we are mainly trying a thermal infrared camera which measures the temperature of the lava, which is a first for us to be able to do from the air with this system. even though we don't see it with our eyes we can actually map out regions that are hot and potentially having lava flowing underneath the crust. we are also testing a series of things like grippers, basically a claw that can be used to pick up loose examples, but also drills that can actually core a sample using the drill and bring it back to a lander or even a rover for further analysis. the different drones, the different instruments, the different mission concepts we are putting together will enable new explor

and arizona state university. our goal was to provide a framework for rebuilding history and civics learning for all learners k-12. what exactly is in this? the first and most important thing is it offers an inquiry framework, a review of the question that all learners k-12 have a chance to encounter as they work to bring together the historical understanding of narratives about the past and civics understanding about our government, institutions, the foundations of democracy, right and responsibility. bringing them together rather than giving people a list of what they should know, proposing questions every learner should have a chance to those questions are structured in 7 themes. i want to name those themes because it is important to understand what they are to understand the focus of the question. physics participations one. what is the? why do we evaluate it? the changing landscape. how is it the geography of this country is changing our borders and boundaries, how have we come to be? we the people, how to th

monsoons bringing heavy rains to arizona. those rains have caused cascades of muddy water to gush down grand falls just northeast of flagstaff. tucson had 7 inches of rain this month making it the wettest july on record while the rain is needed it falls well short of alleviating the long term drought conditions across the state. there arizona's monsoon season lasts through september. i really wish we could just package up some of that water and bring it on over to us. we do have a bit of moisture in the air, though, this morning, dave sphar has got all the details for dave. hey, good morning to well, good morning, everybody. and the out of seasonal go to september 30th on there for them. however, you can still get some of that activity in october. remember being at a conference in tucson and 2010. >> and the thunder showers could be the airport. all of you know, we had to be grounded for a little while going on there. so the kind of moisture we have on the home front here. this is this damp cold moisture in place. here is the

can see all of that subtropical moisture around the high pressure cell, the monsoonal moisture from arizona to southern california and into the sierra nevada and it has been pretty impressive for the mountains picking up anywhere from 2/10 in yosemite and some places picked up as much as an inch but the threat of debris b flow through the evening continues because the ground is so dry and can't absorb water so it just runs off creating mudslides and rockslides. you will notice from the central sierra through the mojave desert. as we look at clouds here, a beautiful view of walnut creek and the temperatures are mild with low 60s from mountain view and 61 in palo alto, san francisco is at 57 and gorgeous site here as we look at the east bagels camera. a nice day on the way, not as hot as it's been. the inland valleys have been really hot while around the bay and coast it's been breezy and cool. look at that 67 in vacaville. 57 in novato, cloudy skies here in the city and we've had fog mist and drizzle around the bay and the shoreline. sunny and not as hot inland looking at seasonal temperatur

this is arizona and it's certainly delivered. this is all associated with the north american bond soon. so what happens is we see these rains intensify and then we get bursts of heavy rain explode. we could see one as we head toward the oklahoma panhandle on sunday. after the eastern seaboard and we've got some storms there, we need to talk about the impact in washington d. c. unsettled as we head toward the great lakes on sunday. central america looks like this. we've got some bursts of rain across areas of mexico, guatemala, not as heavy rain, 400 in the garage, but still keeping showers. and thunderstorms in the forecasts for costa rica and panama temperatures are bouncing back across south america. after that cold snap was don't see on 20 degrees, but that's still below average sponsored power cut on airways after a one year delay the tokyo olympics finally hid. despite growing opposition and spiraling costs. thousands of athletes are completing an empty stadium amid the corona virus and demick algae. here it will be inside t

so it's kind of filling in the stratus this morning, if if if if view there is moisture down to the arizona california border and also in the mountains where flash flood watches continue throughout the evening hours. pretty impressive for july, some areas picked up nearly an inch of rain from the central sierra to the northern sierra but you can see the highlighted areas here are flash flood watches for this evening. the risk of mudslides and rock falls due to the wildfires here in the burn scar area. this continues and then the rainfall will begin to really get more widely scattered as we get into, or isolated rather i should say as we get into your sunday. temperatures around cindy -- looking right now at walnut creek with scattered clouds and looking at the fog, mist and drizzle from the coast to the bay early this morning, elsewhere you see clear sky. sunny and cooler inland and seasonal temperatures will take us into the first week of august. we are not looking at any big extremes but we are looking at a more robust clouds, by 11:30 am we still have some fog up in santa rosa and it's p

using trump's big lie about the 2020 election to fuel sham audits like the one that just wrapped up in arizona. the "new york times" writes the department warned that auditors could face criminal and civil penalties if they destroy any records related to the election or intimidate voters in violation of the civil rights act of 1960 and other laws. and now we may potentially be one step closer to finally looking at the former president's ever-elusive tax returns. the department of justice says the treasury department must turn over six years worth of the ex-president's tax returns to the house ways and means committee. that committee has been seeking those documents for the past two years. so it has been a busy week for the justice department. my next guest is going to help break it down for us. with me now is katie benner, she covers the justice department for the "new york times." she was the first to get her hands on these explosive handwritten notes detailing the pressure that trump was putting on his department of justice as he tried to overturn the election results. good to see you again.

one week ago, 84% of arizona in two highest levels of drought. this week, down to 52%. again, a huge improvement for the state of arizona but what about the rest of the states? the good news, we're starting to seat moisture surge into other areas specifically the pacific northwest which needs it. it's not a lot of rain but a little bit can make a difference. half an inch of rain, that's all you need, to stop the spread of ongoing wildfires. if they can get to two inches that can actually extinguish the fires. and there's a lot in the west. 83 afternoon active fires spread out over 13 states. including washington, idaho, oregon, montana. a lot of those farther north states, 96% of western states are in some level of drought. so, yes, even though not a ton of rain, even a little bit can make a huge difference. it's going forward, when we look at the long-term forecast, a lot of these areas go back to below norm pal precip, the difference is the pacific northwest will they will get a little moisture to help the firefighters out. >> every little bit helps out. allison chinc

i just was in arizona. they have a similar mandate here and i was in arizona on tuesday when that cdc guidance changed and all these schools are saying and all these teachers are saying let our school do something different. don't make it a statewide blanket. where do you stand on this issue? >> that's exactly what we're asking the governor to do. we're asking the governor to allow school districts, if there is a need for masks in their district, in their campuses, then to allow them to do that and right now they don't have the ability to do that. >> do you understand the thinking behind that? some of these governors doing that, most in republican states, are saying they're against federal mandates, for example, during the vaccine, they're saying let us do what we want to do, but then they go and put on the same mandates here on school districts that also want to do what they want to do. do you understand the thinking behind that? >> no, i don't understand the thinking behind it because here in texas we lov

for example, we have kyrsten sinema of arizona, democrat, saying i can't go for $3.5 trillion. what happens when we actually all read it's 5-5.5 trillion? joe manchin says i've got real doubts, and now interestingly enough jon tester says he'll vote to proceed, but i reserve the right to do anything i want on the final vote, and there's a big reason why. the bill as anticipated makes it virtually impossible for farm and ranch families to pass their land on to their kids and their brand kids. if you're jon tester from montana, to you really want to be on the hook for a bill that's going make it hard for montana farmers and ranchers to pass on their land to their kids? jackie: no. >> huh-uh. so let's be clear. what they've said they're got is the votes to proceed to discussion. they don't have the votes for the 3.5 because, a, it's 5.5 and, b, that bill isn't even made and certainly not discussed widely among members of the house and senate. remember, right now the democrats have got a 3-vote margin in the house. and you've got some farm state democrats. are they going to make th

>> i want to ask you specifically about senator from arizona, christyn cisin ema. some of them have drawn the ire of people in her own party. how does the white house successfully balance these two wings of the democratic party? here are some of the tweets for our viewers. >> basically it's carrots and sticks. i do think there is a role for president biden to keep reaching out to her to try to persuade her, as he has done with republicans on the infrastructure bill to go along with the party, but there's also pressure that can be mounted in the states against her in her home state. and i think it's a combination of the two that gets people to move. that's what happened with republicans on infrastructure. it wasn't simply that senator mcconnell played nice. it's the realization if he didn't go along, democrats might have gotten more with reconciliation. >> i want to ask you about the white house and covid. first, listen to this message from president biden given to a maskless crowd. >> over the past year we've lived through some of our darkest days. now i truly beli

i was in arizona this past week. what are you seeing? >> it's the same here in colorado. it's the same idea. those coming in are going to be unvaccinated, really ill, having to be put on a ventilator, and are eventually going to die. >> dr. sasson, you've been on the front lines not just in denver, but all across the country. given that, give us a gut check where we are right now in this pandemic. >> i think we're at a pivotal time where we have an opportunity to stem the tide. i read an op-ed a few days ago where we have to start thinking, look, we're on a pandemic plane ride. the tur lance is here and we have to put our seatbelts on for a while. that's what the dale ta variant is. we don't know what's coming yet. look. the data is changing. the science is coming out. our heads are all spinning as well too. again, if we're going to make sure what happen this winter doesn't happen again this fall especially when our schools are opening. we've got do something right now, and that's where we can make the biggest impact. >> you know, doctor, i love that reality. let's not ge

republican arizona congressman andy biggs is here to react. never let a crisis go to waste. we got the border that is completely open, congressman. and they want to talk about immigration reform? shouldn't that be after they secure the border? >> yeah, lawrence. that's exactly right. and when they talk about immigration, they are not talking about massive immigration reform per se. they are talking about amnesty. so they have the daca amnesty and then other forms of amnesty that will provide amnesty, basically for millions of people and what that does, that exacerbates the problem on the border because that becomes another draw factor incentive it come up here illegally. that's why it's ludicrous for them to each be talking about it while you have 190,000 people come across illegally in june that we apprehended. who knows how many we didn't apprehend. lawrence: it's interesting because you can see the photos of folks continue to pour. in record numbers. you see the polling as well. is he getting killed on law and order. he is also getting killed on immigration. what do you t

storms actually also bring some flooding rains, we've had problems in southern california as well as in arizona. now, the other deal that we're dealing with, with the fires is the smoke. keep your eyes on the areas of pink. this is where the smoke is going to go, a forecast, of where it is going to hit, mainly up to canada but notice some of it heads into the great lakes and there are still air quality alerts in effect for places like minnesota, wisconsin, states that don't normally see that, and because the storm may push to the east this weekend, and that may have to be expanded as well. and now, what you're looking at now is not a western fire, but it is actually a fire in turkey. some drone footage of damage from recent fires, that is still out of control, in many parts of southern turkey, and we have about a dozen or so blazes still burning and we don't have quite the infrastructure to get at these fires and we can see them from space. pretty impressive pictures there. from the satellite. now, these fires being fueled by drought as well. temperatures over 100 degrees today. unlike the fire

even though they are favored to do so they have a couple races, georgia and arizona in particular where she could help if she was popular. mark kelly will not be helped by kamala harris and neither is senator warnock in georgia. >> this is the kind of weird thing we have right now. you have president biden whose governing like he's bernie sanders but he's not bernie sanders. there is no enthusiasm for him and kamala harris equally uninteresting but if you govern like you are bernie sanders go for broke. president biden should get rid of kamala harris and go with aoc, somebody who is interesting and will take the hits for governing like a crazy socialist so you might as well get the good benefit of that if you are going to take the bad as well. >> who would be hot if kamala harris lets democrats down and they feel their numbers are bad who would be -- who is up next? >> that is the truth, if aoc and Élan omar and the squad that is in the news all the time, making the splash or the big democrats other than them? can't think of any attorney sanders will run again because why not, the same

>> stephen: first up, arizona resident and fred flintstone after his yabba dabba d.u.i., nathan wayne entrekin. entrekin is charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct, but he's most notable because on january 6th, he was wearing, as the f.b.i. affidavit actually put it: a plus size roman gladiator costume. ( laughter ) of course, the plus-size gladiator is the one they send in on the lions' cheat day. ( laughter ) costume wasn't exactly authentic, check out the jorts. ( laughter ) i believe he picked up that outfit at t.j. maxximus. ( laughter ) ( piano riff ) not to correct the f.b.i., - far be it from me to correct the federal bureau of investigations, but technically, entriken wasn't dressed as a roman. he told authorities that he was cosplaying as someone called captain moroni, who was a figure in the mormon faith who fought against an attempt to overthrow a democracy. and not, as i thought, the plural of captain moron. ( laughter ) okay, cosplaying as an obscure religious figure sounds pretty nerdy. but that's not even the tip of the geekberg because, according to the f.b.

including in arizona, a hot spot. and i don't know if i got soft or just, it really is that bad, but we are in rough, rough straits in our department. huge backups, massive delays, and it's extremely stressful for us, to try to see everyone. remember, they're very sick. so if you got hit by a train, i think that's exactly right. every day you wake up, you get hit again. >> wow. and what are you hearing from patience? a lot of the things we have been hearing from doctors around the country is that they tell them too late, i wish i had gotten vaccinated. but give us a sense of just what you are hearing from the folks who come in and they are clearly sick with covid? >> yeah, you know, you get the patients that regret, maybe miami is a special place there are a lot of people who don't have regret it all i had a patient recently who said she would rather die of covid then would be vaccinated. imagine the irony of that -- >> what do you say that? >> it's hard to rationalize that. because in our minds, we are thinking, well

comment try to put coercive pressure on vice president mike pence to reject electoral college votes from arizona, georgia and pennsylvania, to proclaim a power no vice president ever exercised and doesn't exist in the constitution. and mike pence refused to do it. do you know what? they trashed the place and they entered and wounded 140 police officers. now we have representatives from a major political party in texas representing african americans, mexican americans, white people, native americans, who are coming forward to say the voting rights are subjected to a gauntlet, an obstacle course. they say this is a up form of voter suppression. i was delighted to your my friend that it pained him -- to hear my friend that it pained him, mr. fallon, to hear about voter suppression inflicted on african-americans. but at some point apparently, it all ended and what you have come to washington to talk about is apparently just a figment of your imagination. so we can't trust the african-american community or hispanic community or native american community or voting rights lawyers about this. we are sup

. >> i was on the floor of the house helping to defend the voters of arizona to a challenge to their electors while you were out trying to keep a violent mob from invading the i know how many workers work in this congress, food service workers, clerical staff. you saved them as well, so they also owe you a debt of gratitude. i do realize that ultimately the rioters breached the capitol, but the time that you kept them out really made a tremendous difference. you saved the day. you saved the constitution and it made a tremendous difference for our country. officer dunn, i did hear you about the need for additional help. i want to pledge to you that we will work with the capitol police to make sure that the mental health unit has the resources the officers need. i'll make that pledge to you right now. i'd like to ask sergeant gonell. not everyone knew that you were fighting in the hall on the lower west terrace on january 6th. can you tell me what happened in that hallway? while you were there, metropolitan police arrived to help you out. what difference did that make? >> sure, ma'am.
