The newest installment to the blockbuster “Grand Theft Auto” video game franchise has been delayed again, this time until November 2026, its creators announced Wednesday.”We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve,” Rockstar Games said in a post on X.Release of the game had already been pushed from late 2025 to early 2026. Rockstar said it will now come out on November 19 of next year.Shares of Rockstar-parent Take-Two Interactive sank more than eight percent in after-hours trades.Word of the delay came the same day dozens of people protested outside Rockstar offices in Edinburgh, Scotland, accusing the multi-billion dollar studio of “blatant union busting” by firing 31 people.Rockstar, whose upcoming sixth edition of the cash-cow series is among the hottest releases of 2026, has accused the employees of “distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, a violation of our company policies.”But the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB), which called the demonstration, rejected that claim, arguing that the sacked workers were all members of a private discussion channel linked to the union.Rockstar did not immediately respond to an AFP inquiry.”GTA VI” is on course to become one of the biggest entertainment product launches of all time. As popular as it is notorious for its sexual and violent content, the franchise has allowed players to roleplay as criminals doing dirty deeds across sprawling cityscapes since its first entry in 1997. – Outlaw couple? -The newest game was originally due to be released later this year, with a trailer having shown that it would be set in Miami-like Vice City and would feature a playable female protagonist for the first time.Set to the Tom Petty song “Love Is A Long Road,” it opens with a female character named Lucia being released from prison in what appears to be a fictionalized version of Florida.Near the close of the one-minute-and-30-second clip, she tells her male partner in crime: “The only way we are going to get through this is by sticking together, being a team.”The pair go on to burst into a store with pistols drawn and bandanas covering the lower halves of their faces.Fans saw the scene as confirmation that rumors of a “Bonnie and Clyde” type crime couple are coming true.Along with its wild success, the GTA series has faced criticism over its violent content.Critics have from the beginning accused Grand Theft Auto of glorifying violence and encouraging players to engage in criminal behavior –- allegations rejected by New York-based Take-Two Interactive.GTA players sell drugs, fight, rob, go on car rampages and more. Gameplay options also included assaulting sex workers and going to strip clubs, raising the ire of activists.

US President Donald Trump announced deals Thursday with pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower the prices of some popular weight-loss drugs, in exchange for relief from threatened tariffs.Both companies “have agreed to offer their most popular GLP-1 weight-loss drug,” Trump said at the White House, “at drastic discounts.””Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are committing to offer Zepbound and Wegovy at ‘Most Favored Nation’ rates for American patients,” Trump added, saying this would lower the costs of products for those eligible.During the announcement event in the Oval Office, a company representative standing behind Trump collapsed. He was later examined by Mehmet Oz, Trump’s administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who said he was okay.The new generation of appetite-suppressing drugs using GLP-1 agonists — which include the brands Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro — have exploded in popularity in recent times due to their ability to help people lose weight.But the sky-high prices of such drugs, which can cost more than $1,000 a month in the United States, have raised concerns.- ‘A triumph’ -The latest move is set to cut costs of starting oral doses of GLP-1s to as low as around $150 for certain groups of people once approved, a senior US official said.”It’s a triumph for American patients that will save lives and improve the health of millions and millions of Americans,” Trump told reporters. This price would apply to those on Medicare — which is for seniors — the safety net Medicaid, or via the direct-to-consumer website TrumpRx once it launches, the official added.But the costs for injectables would be higher.US officials said that the direct-to-consumer channel will see costs of injectable GLP-1s start at an average of $350 per month, and that this should scale down over time.This would apply to drugs including Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound, according to a White House fact sheet.Starting around the middle of next year, Medicare and Medicaid coverage for the injectable drugs will be at $245 for those meeting certain medical criteria. Medicare copayment for eligible beneficiaries will be $50.The starting point for each Medicaid program depends on each state’s participation.”These low prices will enable Medicare to cover Wegovy and Zepbound for patients with obesity and related comorbidities for the first time,” the White House said.In exchange, the pharmaceutical companies will have certainty around tariff issues and access to beneficiaries who otherwise would not be covered by Medicare for obesity issues, an official added.- Fine print -Scott Kahan, director of a clinic called the National Center for Weight and Wellness, said the announcement “has the potential to be very valuable for many people.”But the final price to consumers once commercial insurance is factored in remains “unclear as yet,” he added.The three-year grace period from expected pharmaceutical tariffs threatened by Trump is similar to deals struck by Pfizer and AstraZeneca. Both had also reached agreements to lower drug costs in exchange for tariff relief.Trump has revived drug pricing efforts from his first presidential term, taking steps since returning to the White House to pressure pharmaceutical companies into voluntarily lowering their prices.Over the summer, he sent letters to 17 drugmakers, calling for them to lower prices or face punishment — a move meant to give Americans relief from medicine costs much higher than elsewhere in the world.Trump has previously threatened tariffs of 100 percent for branded pharmaceutical products unless companies were building manufacturing plants in the United States.The prevalence of obesity among American adults is estimated at 40 percent, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

US and European stocks slumped Thursday as investors weighed another wave of corporate results, economic data and the likelihood of another interest rate cut.After rising throughout the summer and early part of the fall, US stocks have been choppy in recent weeks as a government shutdown depletes investors of key updates on the economy.”We are in a sense running out of catalysts right now to either support or propel stock prices,” said Sam Stovall of CFRA Research. “The market decided to take whatever profits it can and await additional news that could become encouraging once again.”Investors and policymakers alike have been left in a fog as the government has delayed the release of key data on employment, trade, retail sales and others.”Financial markets find themselves groping around in the dark,” said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at investing and trading platform IG.Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee, who has been supportive of lowering interest rates, told CNBC in an interview that making cuts amidst a lack of data on inflation made him “uneasy.”With key economic data produced by the US government unavailable due to the shutdown, investors have been turning to private data sources.A report by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said the number of layoff announcements in October hit the highest level in 22 years.The report “painted a grim picture of the jobs market,” said Joe Mazzola, head trading and derivatives strategist at Charles Schwab brokerage.The report found that this year has been the worst for layoffs since 2020, when the labor market was decimated by the pandemic, and that hiring has slowed to a 14-year low.However the report “bolstered the case for a Federal Reserve rate cut in December despite Chairman Jerome Powell’s unexpectedly hawkish tone following the Fed meeting last month,” Mazzola added.Investors were also digesting news that a majority of the US Supreme Court was skeptical about the legality behind a swath of Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which also lent support to equities.”Is it good news? Paradoxically, not really,” said Swissquote Bank senior analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya, who noted that the litigation means heightened uncertainty on international trade dynamics and how much tariff revenue will be available to the US Treasury.Investors were also reacting to the Bank of England’s decision, in a tight vote, to keep its key interest rate unchanged before the UK’s Labor government presents its budget this month.Weighing on European sentiment were some poorly received company earnings and official data that showed industrial production in Germany rebounded less than expected in September.Shares in Franco-Dutch group Air France-KLM plunged more than 14 percent after it reported a drop in third-quarter net profit.In New York, shares in chip-maker Qualcomm fell 3.6 percent despite a positive earnings report. Tesla shares dropped 3.5 percent ahead of a vote by shareholders on a pay package for Elon Musk that could reach as much as $1 trillion.- Key figures at around 2120 GMT -New York – Dow: DOWN 0.8 percent at 46,912.30 (close)New York – S&P 500: DOWN 1.1 percent at 6,720.32 (close)New York – Nasdaq Composite: DOWN 1.9 percent at 23,053.99 (close)London – FTSE 100: DOWN 0.4 percent at 9,735.78 (close)Paris – CAC 40: DOWN 1.4 percent at 7,964.77 (close)Frankfurt – DAX: DOWN 1.3 percent at 23,734.02 (close)Tokyo – Nikkei 225: UP 1.3 percent at 50,883.68 (close)Hong Kong – Hang Seng Index: UP 2.1 percent at 26,485.90 (close)Shanghai – Composite: UP 1.0 percent at 4,007.76 (close)Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1548 from $1.1492 on WednesdayPound/dollar: UP at $1.3135 from $1.3050Dollar/yen: DOWN at 153.04 yen from 154.12 yenEuro/pound: DOWN at 87.91 pence from 88.06 penceBrent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.2 percent at $63.38 per barrelWest Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.3 percent at $59.43 per barrelburs-jmb/des

Travelers across the United States prepared on Thursday for potential chaos ahead of widespread flight cancellations ordered by authorities due to the federal government shutdown.On Friday, airlines will begin implementing a 10-percent reduction in flights in 40 high-traffic areas of the country, complying with a Federal Aviation Administration order made on safety grounds.The shutdown has left tens of thousands of air traffic controllers, airport security staff and others without pay, causing personnel shortages.On Thursday, more than 4,000 flights were delayed, with 96 cancellations, according to the tracking service FlightAware, with travelers facing long lines at security checkpoints.Major airports were impacted, with travelers at Boston and Newark airports facing average delays of more than two hours, and those at Chicago’s O’Hare and Washington’s Reagan National more than an hour.Authorities said they wanted to act before an accident occurred.”We’re not going to wait for a safety problem to truly manifest itself, when the early indicators are telling us we can take action today to prevent things from deteriorating,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford.- Peak travel season -The measures come as the country enters its busiest travel time of the year, with the Thanksgiving holiday just weeks away.The new cancellations could affect thousands of flights every day. Flight reductions will begin at four percent on Friday and rise to 10 percent, media outlets reported.Flight reductions are set to hit some of the country’s busiest airports, including in Atlanta, Newark, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles.Implementing the order on short notice will be a challenge for airlines, which operate complex networks that rely on many moving parts and personnel.United Airlines and Delta, two of the country’s largest carriers, have said they are complying with the order but that it would not affect their international routes.United added that “hub-to-hub” flying would also not be affected, indicating cancellations might hit more local routes.Federal agencies across the United States have been grinding to a halt since Congress failed to approve funding past September 30, with some 1.4 million federal workers, from air traffic controllers to park wardens, still on enforced leave or working without pay.Many in high-stress aviation-related jobs are now calling in sick and potentially working second jobs in order to pay their bills, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Wednesday.FAA Administrator Bedford said the situation was unprecedented.”I am not aware in my 35-year history in the aviation market where we’ve had a situation where we’re taking these kinds of measures,” he said Wednesday.”Then again, we’re in new territory in terms of government shutdowns.”

A pair of US B-52 bombers flew over the Caribbean Sea along the coast of Venezuela on Thursday, flight tracking data showed, in the fourth such show of force by American military aircraft in recent weeks.The flight comes as Washington carries out a military campaign against alleged drug smugglers in the region, deploying naval and air forces it says are aimed at curbing trafficking but which have sparked fears in Caracas that regime change is the goal.Data from tracking website Flightradar24 showed the two bombers flying parallel to the Venezuelan coast, then circling northeast of Caracas before heading back along the coast and turning north and flying further out to sea.It is at least the fourth time that US military aircraft have flown near Venezuela since mid-October: B-52s have done so on one previous occasion, and B-1B bombers on two others.The United States has also ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group to Latin America, has deployed F-35 stealth warplanes to Puerto Rico and currently has six US Navy ships in the Caribbean as part of what it calls counter-narcotics efforts.Washington’s forces have carried out strikes on at least 17 alleged drug-smuggling vessels — 16 boats and a semi-submersible — since early September, killing at least 67 people, according to US figures.But the United States has yet to release evidence that the vessels it has targeted were used to smuggle drugs or posed a threat to the country.Regional tensions have flared as a result of the campaign and the accompanying military buildup, with Venezuela accusing Washington of plotting to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a nonprofit launched by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife aimed at curing all disease, on Thursday announced it was restructuring to focus on using artificial intelligence to achieve that goal.The move narrows the focus of the philanthropic organization founded in 2015 with a vow to devote most of the couple’s significant wealth to charitable causes, including social justice and voter rights.Zuckerberg is among the high-profile tech figures who has backed away from diversity, equality and fact-checking initiatives after US President Donald Trump took office in January.The organizaiton this year ended its diversity efforts, curbed support of nonprofits that provide housing and stopped funding a primary school that gave education and health care to underserved children, according to media reports.The philanthropic mission created by the Meta co-founder and his spouse, Priscilla Chan, said that its current priority invovles scientific teams centralized in a facility called Biohub.”This is a pivotal moment in science, and the future of AI-powered scientific discovery is starting to come into view,” Biohub said in a blog post.”We believe that it will be possible in the next few years to create powerful AI systems that can reason about and represent biology to accelerate science.”Biohub envisions AI helping advance ways to detect, prevent and cure diseases, according to the post.The mission includes trying to model the human immune system, potentially opening a door to “engineering human health.””We believe we’re on the cusp of a scientific revolution in biology — as frontier artificial intelligence and virtual biology give scientists new tools to understand life at a fundamental level,” Biohub said in the post.The first investment announced by the Zuckerbergs when the initiative debuted nearly a decade ago was for the creation of a Biohub in Silicon Valley where researchers, scientists and others could work to build tools to better study and understand diseases.Shortly after it was established, the initiative bought a Canadian startup which uses AI to quickly read and comprehend scientific papers and then provide insights to researchers.”Our multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers have built incredible technologies to observe, measure and program biology,” Biohub said of its progress.Meta is among the big tech firms that have been pouring billions of dollars into data centers and more in a race to lead the field of AI.

Nancy Pelosi, a towering figure in US politics, a leading Trump foe and the first woman to serve as House of Representatives speaker, announced Thursday that she will step down at the next election.Admired as a master strategist with a no-nonsense leadership style that delivered for her party, the 85-year-old Democrat shepherded historic legislation through Congress as she navigated America’s bitter partisan divide.In later years, she was a fierce adversary of President Donald Trump, twice leading his impeachment and stunning Washington in 2020 when she ripped up a copy of his speech to Congress live on television.”I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,” she said in a video statement pointedly aimed at her hometown constituents.”With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative.”Pelosi — whose term ends in January 2027 — was the first woman to lead a major political party in the US Congress. Despite entering political office later in life, she quickly rose through the ranks to become a darling of liberal West Coast politics and, eventually, one of the most powerful women in US history.She is in her 19th term and has represented her San Francisco-area district for 38 years. But her fame centers on her renowned skills at the national level, leading her party for two decades.As House speaker for eight years, she was second in line to the presidency, after the vice president, including during Trump’s chaotic first term.To Republicans she was emblematic of the excesses of the liberal elite, but lawmakers on all sides admired her ability to corral her fractious caucus through difficult votes, including Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act.While several Republicans took to social media to pay her tribute despite their political differences, Trump’s reaction was less gracious.”I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job, who cost the country a lot in damages and in reputation. I thought she was terrible,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office.- ‘Tenacity, intellect, strategic acumen’ -The granddaughter of Italian immigrants, Pelosi was born in Baltimore where her father, Thomas D’Alesandro, was a mayor and congressman who schooled her in “retail politics.” Pelosi moved to San Francisco and raised five children with businessman Paul Pelosi before being elected to Congress at age 47.”Nancy Pelosi will be recorded as the greatest speaker in American history, the result of her tenacity, intellect, strategic acumen and fierce advocacy,” said Adam Schiff, a colleague in the California House delegation before he moved up to the Senate.But her status as a hate figure for the right was brought in stark relief when an intruder, apparently looking for the speaker, violently assaulted her husband in the runup to the 2022 midterm elections.And during the 2021 assault on the US Capitol, supporters of then-president Trump ransacked her office, and a crowd baying for blood chanted “Where’s Nancy?” as they desecrated the halls of Congress.Pelosi moved quickly after that to secure the second impeachment of Trump, whom she called the “deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States.”Her legislative achievements include steering through Obama’s key health care reforms as well as massive economic packages after both the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid pandemic.”No matter what title they have bestowed upon me — speaker, leader, whip — there has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, I speak for the people of San Francisco,” Pelosi said.

A US judge dropped criminal charges against Boeing on Thursday over deadly crashes of its 737 MAX 8 aircraft as part of an agreement between the company and prosecutors.Judge Reed O’Connor’s decision stemmed from a May 23 agreement between the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the aircraft manufacturer to resolve the case over two crashes that resulted in 346 fatalities.Under the deal, Boeing will pay $1.1 billion in return for the dismissal of a charge of “conspiracy to defraud the United States” over its conduct in the certification of the MAX, according to a federal filing.The amount includes a $244 million fine, $445 million for a compensation fund for families of victims, and $455 million to strengthen safety, quality and compliance programs at Boeing.The accord, a “non-prosecution agreement,” scuttled a criminal trial that had been scheduled for June in Fort Worth, Texas.The agreement resolves the case without requiring Boeing to plead guilty to fraud in the certification of the MAX.A criminal conviction could have jeopardized Boeing’s ability to secure contracts with the US government, a major customer for its aerospace and defense businesses.Boeing has said it is “deeply sorry” for the crashes of a 2018 Lion Air flight in Indonesia that killed 189 and a 2019 Ethiopian Airlines flight that killed 157.Boeing has blamed the design of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a flight handling system that malfunctioned.”We are committed to honoring the obligations of our agreement with the Department of Justice. We are also committed to continuing the significant efforts we have made as a company to strengthen our safety, quality, and compliance programs,” Boeing said in a statement Thursday.- Public interest -But in his order Thursday, O’Connor wrote that he had to dismiss the fraud charge even though he “disagrees with the Government that dismissing the criminal information in this case is in the public interest.”Attorney Paul Cassell, a former federal judge who represents some family members of MAX victims on a pro bono basis, noted O’Connor’s reservations as he “reluctantly concluded that he was powerless to do anything about the reprehensible deal.” “We believe that the courts don’t have to stand silently by while an injustice is perpetrated,” said Cassell, now a law professor at the University of Utah, in an email to AFP.”We will be rapidly going to the Fifth Circuit to ask it to reverse this decision, enforce the rights of the victim’s families, and deny the Government’s effort to simply drop these charges.”In announcing its plan in May, the DoJ acknowledged the opposition of some families, while noting that others preferred to move on and not prolong the litigation — with the latter informing the agency’s course.”Rather than allow for protracted litigation, this agreement provides finality for the victims and requires Boeing to act now,” the department said Thursday. “We are confident that this resolution is the most just outcome.”Thursday’s announcement is the latest development in a marathon case that came in the wake of the two crashes, which tarnished Boeing’s reputation and contributed to leadership shakeups at the aviation giant.The case dates to a January 2021 DOJ agreement with Boeing that settled charges that the company knowingly defrauded the Federal Aviation Administration during the MAX certification.The 2021 accord included a three-year probation period. But in May 2024, the DOJ determined that Boeing had violated the 2021 accord following a number of subsequent safety lapses.Boeing agreed in July 2024 to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge. But in December, O’Connor rejected a settlement codifying the guilty plea.Boeing also still faces a small group of civil cases on the MAX crashes, despite having settled dozens of cases.A Chicago federal court began hearing this week a claim from family members of one victim over financial damages.  

Canada’s high court on Thursday ended a months-long battle to save some 400 ostriches exposed to avian influenza that had attracted support from the likes of US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.The final legal block to culling the birds was removed when Canada’s Supreme Court refused to hear the case brought by the owners of the ostriches seeking to overturn a kill order.  The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it will now move forward with “depopulation and disposal measures” aimed at mitigating the risk of further avian influenza infections, after a December 2024 outbreak killed 69 birds at Universal Ostrich Farms in rural British Columbia.The owners of the farm had launched multiple legal appeals against the initial cull order, maintaining that the birds developed herd immunity and could have medically valuable antibodies.”They’re healthy. They are everything that we have and everything that we’ve loved for 35 years. They’re healthy, please stop,” said Katie Pastiney, the daughter of the farm owners, in a tearful plea posted to Facebook following the court’s refusal to hear the case. Since January 2025, the movement to “Save the ostriches” has attracted hundreds of in-person protesters and a swell of sympathy online, largely pushing back on government health interventions. The mobilization went international in May when Kennedy sent a letter to the Canadian government criticizing the cull as a “potentially disproportionate measure.”In October, American billionaire John Catsimatidis, who is partially funding Universal Ostrich Farms’ legal fees, called on the Canadian government to allow the US Food and Drug Administration to test the flock, raising the possibility that the birds could be transferred to the United States.Doctors and the poultry industry track outbreaks of avian influenza to prevent the spread of the virus to other farm animals and humans.The latest data from the Canadian government indicates 50 outbreaks of avian influenza in birds across the country in November 2025.Since 2003, the World Health Organization has documented 900 cases of human infection with avian influenza, more than half of which have been fatal.

Nancy Pelosi, a towering figure in US politics and the first woman to serve as speaker of the House of Representatives, announced on Thursday that she will step down at the next election.Admired as a master strategist with a no-nonsense leadership style that delivered consistently for her party, the 85-year-old Democrat shepherded historic legislation through Congress as she navigated America’s bitter partisan divide.In later years, she became a key foe of President Donald Trump, twice leading his impeachment and stunning Washington in 2020 when images of her ripping up his speech to Congress were beamed on live television around the world.”I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,” she said in a video statement pointedly aimed at her hometown constituents.”With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative.”Pelosi — whose term ends in January 2027 — was the first woman to lead a major political party in the US Congress. Despite entering political office later in life, she quickly rose through the ranks to become a darling of liberal West Coast politics and, eventually, one of the most powerful women in US history.She is in her 19th term and has represented her San Francisco-area district for 38 years. But her fame centers especially on her renowned skills at the national level, leading her party for two decades.As House speaker for eight years, she was second in line to the presidency, after the vice president, including during Trump’s chaotic first term.She was revered for her ability to corral her often fractious caucus through difficult votes, including Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act and Joe Biden’s infrastructure programs.Republicans painted her as the driving force behind a liberal elite that had turned its back on American values and was undermining the social fabric.- ‘No greater honor’ -The granddaughter of Italian immigrants, Pelosi was born in Baltimore where her father, Thomas D’Alesandro, was a mayor and congressman who schooled her in “retail politics” from a young age and staunchly backed Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.Pelosi attended her first Democratic National Convention before hitting her teens and was pictured with John F. Kennedy at his inaugural ball when she was 20.She moved to San Francisco and raised five children with businessman Paul Pelosi while delving into Democratic politics before being elected to Congress at age 47.”Nancy Pelosi will be recorded as the greatest speaker in American history, the result of her tenacity, intellect, strategic acumen and fierce advocacy,” said Adam Schiff, a colleague in the California House delegation before he moved up to the Senate.A San Francisco liberal and multimillionaire, Pelosi is far from universally popular.Her status as a hate figure for the right was brought in stark relief when an intruder, apparently looking for the speaker, violently assaulted her husband in the runup to the 2022 midterm elections.And during the 2021 assault on the US Capitol, supporters of then-president Trump ransacked her office, and a crowd baying for blood chanted “Where’s Nancy?” as they desecrated the halls of Congress.Pelosi moved quickly after that to secure the second impeachment of Trump, whom she called the “deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States.”Her legislative achievements include steering through Obama’s key health care reforms as well as massive economic packages after both the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.”I say to my colleagues in the House all the time, no matter what title they have bestowed upon me — speaker, leader, whip — there has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, I speak for the people of San Francisco,” Pelosi said.
