The plane carrying the 10 admitted spies, confessed spies from the United States has touched down in Moscow, they touched down in Domodedovo, airport here in the Russian capital, and they will whisk the way in black tout¹ Mercedes minibuses. They will be debriefed² very thoroughly³ before they'll be given any -- the media will be given any access to them. The 4 people released by the Russians in exchange for these 10 Russian spies, they've made their way, and have already landed in the United Kingdom. Their whereabouts exactly is not clear to us at this stage or indeed what their plans will be, whether they will stay in the UK, or whether they will go on to other countries, neither they've been pardoned by the Russian President for their rescue espionage⁴ activity.

 

The United Nations Security Council formally condemning⁵ the March sinking of a South Korean warship⁶, but the Council's statement while expressed deep sympathy for lost of the 46 sailors, did not specifically point a finger at North Korea. The international investigation⁷ said the ship was sunk by a torpedo⁸ and it did point Pyongyang.

 

I woke up yesterday morning when the ESPN said, he signed with the Wade⁹ and Bosh in here, I was going crazy, I was hoping LeBron is going to come, too.

Now you got LeBron James, who thinks he's the best front in the NBA, Chris Bosh is pretty good, too, that's the three guys in the same team, the rest leagues got to be really envious¹⁰.

 

First of all, it’s obviously disappointing that LeBron chose to go to a little different team last night. As soon as we got the message in 9:01, as a basketball operations staff, as an organization, we moved forward
