The parents of Harry Dunn, the 19-year-old motorcyclist killed recently in a car accident outside an RAF base involving a US diplomat’s wife in Britain, are going to the White House this afternoon for a meeting, according to the family.
BREAKING: Family of Harry Dunn going to the White House this afternoon #Justice4harry #HarryDunn
The parents have already demanded to see all the exchanges between the US embassy, the UK Foreign Office and the British police that led to the decision for the American driver Anne Sacoolas to claim diplomatic immunity and leave the country, the Guardian’s Patrick Wintour writes today.
The lawyers say they will mount a judicial review if the Foreign Office does not cooperate.
Sacoolas has admitted in a statement that she was “driving on the wrong side of the road and is terribly, terribly sorry for that tragic mistake”.
The Foreign Office wrote to the Dunn family at the weekend to say that the US and the UK agreed her diplomatic immunity no longer applied once she returned to the US.
The Dunn family, currently in the US to pursue their demand that Sacoolas return to UK to face an investigation, said they were ready to launch a full investigation into the Foreign Office role.
It is unclear who the family will meet at the White House or what will be discussed.
The parents have recently arrived in the US to step up their campaign to pressure Sacoolas to return to the UK and face police questioning.
She left the UK shortly after the collision between Dunn’s motorbike and a car outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire on 27 August. She is believed to have been driving the car and met police afterwards. But no investigation followed after the force was advised she had protective status granted to foreign diplomats.
“Conspiracy of silence”
Much lively chatter about MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and his closing monologue last night in which he noted former colleague Ronan Farrow’s description of alleged attempts at NBC to kill his reporting into the Harvey Weinstein rape and sexual harassment allegations as “a conspiracy of silence by NBC management.”
The news network denies any such conspiracy or campaign and maintains that it didn’t broadcast Farrow’s story (which he soon after took to the New Yorker) because the journalism wasn’t quite there.
So deeply impressed by my friend @chrislhayes https://t.co/eiufBewcE6
And here’s April Ryan and Ronan Farrow, just coz!
I spy @ronanfarrow! I have to let his mom @realmiafarrow know! How cool!

Captured ISIS militants have been freeing themselves from prison as the region descends into a dangerous chaos.Last night Trump announced a halt to negotiations on a $100 billion trade deal with Turkey and began other sanctions, including raising steel tariffs back up to 50% and actions against three senior Turkish officials and Turkey’s defense and energy ministries.Captured ISIS militants have been freeing themselves from prison as the region descends into a dangerous chaos.Last night Trump announced a halt to negotiations on a $100 billion trade deal with Turkey and began other sanctions, including raising steel tariffs back up to 50% and actions against three senior Turkish officials and Turkey’s defense and energy ministries.
Opposition to these announcements can be summarized thus: a day late and a dollar short. Especially for the Kurdish militia in what had been a semi-autonomous area of north-eastern Syria, and civilians now caught between Turkish and Syrian interests.Opposition to these announcements can be summarized thus: a day late and a dollar short.

It’s the week that diplomats you’ve never heard of are attending closed door hearings in Washington to testify before the House intelligence committee, which is taking the lead on the Trump-Ukraine impeachment inquiry.It’s the week that diplomats you’ve never heard of are attending closed door hearings in Washington to testify before the House intelligence committee, which is taking the lead on the Trump-Ukraine impeachment inquiry.
But their very obscurity (for the average outside-the-beltway peasant), and the in-camera nature of the hearings, is of vital importance. Open hearings with big names can be illuminating and move the dial in investigations, whether it’s Trump-Russia or Trump-Ukraine, or whatever. But there’s no denying they often descend into a partisan circus.But their very obscurity (for the average outside-the-beltway peasant), and the in-camera nature of the hearings, is of vital importance.

Yesterday career diplomat and former top Russia aide, British-born Fiona Hill, who has worked during the administrations of no less than six presidents, gave testimony for almost 10 hours. Some of the details that were later disclosed by indiscreet politicians are absolute dynamite.Yesterday career diplomat and former top Russia aide, British-born Fiona Hill, who has worked during the administrations of no less than six presidents, gave testimony for almost 10 hours.

Today it’s George Kent, whose title, ordinarily, would be an eye-glazer - Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. But in the circumstances, with the White House trying to stop officials from testifying, folks like these are pure gold to investigators looking for sober facts about what the president’s henchmen have been up to, where, when, with whom and why. The White House apparently attempted to block him, to no avail.Today it’s George Kent, whose title, ordinarily, would be an eye-glazer - Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.

Tomorrow it’s Michael McKinley, who resigned last week as senior adviser to secretary of state Mike Pompeo, who has to be presiding over an increasingly-demoralized state department (what’s left of it) as more details come out about Trump administration shenanigans in Ukraine, and the summary career-execution of former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.Tomorrow it’s Michael McKinley, who resigned last week as senior adviser to secretary of state Mike Pompeo, who has to be presiding over an increasingly-demoralized state department (what’s left of it) as more details come out about Trump administration shenanigans in Ukraine, and the summary career-execution of former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.
On Thursday it’s Gordon Sondland, who is defying a White House block in order to testify about being up to his sorry neck in the Ukraine scandal, despite being US ambassador to the European Union (of which Ukraine is not a member). He probably wishes he had the dignity of being able to call himself a career diplomat, instead of Trump Super Fan.On Thursday it’s Gordon Sondland, who is defying a White House block in order to testify about being up to his sorry neck in the Ukraine scandal, despite being US ambassador to the European Union (of which Ukraine is not a member).

And now to that Trump tweet. It seems this whole behind-closed-doors thing is really getting the president’s goat. Listen, as the mainstream media, we’d love nothing more than a seat in those committee hearings, but have to admit, reluctantly, that in-camera testimony is a logical move for Adam Schiff and his intel committee.And now to that Trump tweet.

Democrats are allowing no transparency at the Witch Hunt hearings. If Republicans ever did this they would be excoriated by the Fake News.

Before we had back to the impeachment cobbler, here’s a look at that Quinnipiac University poll from late yesterday that noted Elizabeth Warren staying slightly ahead of Joe Biden in the race for the Democratic party nomination to fight for the White House in 2020 - and those two leaders leaving the rest of the pack seemingly further and further behind.Before we had back to the impeachment cobbler, here’s a look at that Quinnipiac University poll from late yesterday that noted Elizabeth Warren staying slightly ahead of Joe Biden in the race for the Democratic party nomination to fight for the White House in 2020 - and those two leaders leaving the rest of the pack seemingly further and further behind.

This is the first event focussed on environmental and climate justice issues - such as access in the United States to clean air and water, public transport, healthy food, and flood resistance -which disproportionately affect people of colour, indigenous and low income communities. Inequality around such essentials has been called a “civil rights emergency” in the age of Donald Trump.This is the first event focussed on environmental and climate justice issues - such as access in the United States to clean air and water, public transport, healthy food, and flood resistance -which disproportionately affect people of colour, indigenous and low income communities.
