PROBLEM: Alabama Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful  Doug Jones  says  he  is a âright-to-liferâ once a baby is born  but â before then â  he  supports abortion up until the day of birth.
 Jones  told MSNBCâs MTP Daily host Chuck Todd:
When Todd asked him if he would not support legislation that banned late-term abortions   Jones  replied:
 Jones  faces Republican candidate Judge Roy Moore in a special election on December 12 to fill the Senate seat previously held by now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
 Doug Jones  clearly has no problem with the fact that the U.S. is only one of seven nations â alongside North Korea and China â to allow elective abortion on-demand after five months.  His  extremism puts  him  dramatically out of step with Alabama voters. Alabama is one of twenty states to take a stand against the brutality of late term abortions having approved a state limit in 2011. Polls consistently show that a large majority of Americans â women in higher numbers than men â support bringing our national laws into line with basic human decency  and the House will vote on this measure next week.  Jones  is out to impress the big abortion lobby but this does nothing for  his  chances against Judge Moore.

SOLUTION: Doug Jones

PROBLEM: Robert Dudley  who will replace Tony Hayward on Oct. 1  promised changes in light of the environmental disaster. "There's no question we are going to learn things from this investigation of the incident " he said.
 Hayward has some sympathy in his native Britain  where many pensions rely on BP stock and some consider U.S. outrage at the company to be over the top. A recurring theme in newspaper editorials and discussions among many Britons is that there simply wasn't much one man could do in the face of relentless American wrath.
 "BP sends Tony Hayward to Siberia to appease US " read a headline in the Guardian.
 Hayward  who will stay on BP's board until Nov. 30  will receive a year's salary of 1.045 million pounds (US$1.6 million) as part of his severance package. His pension benefits are valued at about 11 million pounds (US$16.8 million)  and he retains his rights to shares under a long-term performance program that could eventually be worth several million pounds if BP's share price recovers.
 Hayward said it was right that BP embark on its next phase under new leadership  and expressed his condolences for the families of the workers killed in the explosion.
 "The Gulf of Mexico explosion was a terrible tragedy for which -- as the man in charge of BP when it happened -- I will always feel a deep responsibility  regardless of where blame is ultimately found to lie " he said.
 President Barack Obama  who once said he would fire Hayward if he could  discussed the change in BP's leadership with Svanberg on Monday  Gibbs said Tuesday. No details about the conversation were released.
 Dudley spent some of his childhood in Mississippi and worked for 20 years at Amoco Corp.  which merged with BP in 1998. He lost out to Hayward on the CEO slot three years ago.
Hayward if he could  discussed the change in BP's leadership with Svanberg on Monday  Gibbs said Tuesday. No details about the conversation were released.
 "Our concern is not who heads BP " Gibbs said. "Mr. Hayward is leaving. The key is that BP can't leave and should not leave the Gulf. ... They have obligations and responsibilities as the responsible party in this instance that have to be met regardless of who the CEO is."

SOLUTION: Tony Hayward

PROBLEM: This report was published just after the Pittsburgh Penguins released a statement confirming their intent to visit the White House  and threw into stark relief  the comments of superstar Sidney Crosby  a native of Cole Harbour  Nova Scotia .
 His comments  came as Donald Trump attacked black athletes protesting police violence as "sons of bitches " declaring they should be fired for "disrespecting the flag." Following his comments players from all 28 NFL teams responded on Sunday by kneeling during the US anthem in mass solidarity. Faced with responding to athletes protesting police brutality and systemic racism  the Penguins sided with Trump. Any pretense that their intent to visit the White House was apolitical was rapidly debunked by Trump's gleeful tweet praising them as a "great team."
This wishful thinking disappeared when  Crosby  was found to have told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette  he  saw the visit "as an opportunity." But  he  also said there had been "little to no discussion" in the locker room about the decision to go.
"I'm pretty aware of what's going on "  Crosby  told the Post-Gazette. "People have that right to not go  too. Nobody's saying they have to go. As a group  we decided to go. There hasn't really been a whole lot of discussion about it."
Sidney Crosby  a 30-year-old man and hometown hero in Nova Scotia  has been defended by apologists who suggested that as a Canadian  he simply did not understand race issues in America. Canada  they argue  does not have the same issues with race.
Racism is a problem in the NHL.  Sidney Crosby  the sport's biggest name   had a chance to speak  not only in support of  his  colleagues in football and basketball  but for players like Dustin Byfuglien.
This is a league where PK Subban played in front of Montreal fans who went to games in blackface  and where  he  was memorably accused of not playing the "white" way (a telling slip). A league where Evander Kane endured vicious racism in Winnipeg  the town famously called Canada's most racist city by Maclean's magazine. Where even Jarome Iginla—the model for many respectable  humble  black athletes—experienced racism severe enough that his mother spoke out about it. Wayne Simmonds  a descendent of African Nova Scotians  had a banana thrown at him on the ice.
Racism is a problem in the NHL.  Sidney Crosby  the sport's biggest name   had a chance to speak  not only in support of  his  colleagues in football and basketball  but for players like Dustin Byfuglien. Byfuglien was the only black player on the USA roster at the World Cup of Hockey  where coach John Tortorella threatened to bench any player who protested during the anthem. That tournament was played in Toronto  where Black Lives Matter protesters have taken numerous actions to protest police killings and carding of black people. The children of Toronto's significant population of African and Caribbean immigrants are the hockey players of the future  the future roommates of white players who will ride with them on the bus  buddy with them  and then let them know that when it comes down to it  their lives do not matter.
