question:
The moment Tony Abbott stood in front of sexist signs describing Julia Gillard as a 'witch' and 'Bob Brown's b***h' as he gave an anti-carbon tax speech five years ago should have ended his career, the former Prime Minister says. Just weeks after Ms Gillard announced the federal government would introduce a carbon tax, then-opposition leader Tony Abbott addressed a crowd of 3,000 angry protesters outside Parliament House on March 23, 2011. Mr Abbott stood in front of offensive signs that read 'Ditch the Witch', 'Juliar' and 'Bob Brown's b***h' as a backdrop for his speech accusing Ms Gillard of breaking a pre-election promise not to introduce a carbon tax.Tony Abbott used angry signs as a backdrop to his anti-carbon tax speechThen opposition leader addressed protesters in 2011 in CanberraSigns referring to Julia Gillard read 'Ditch the Witch' and 'Juliar'Ms Gillard says that moment should have ended Mr Abbott's careerThe Killing Season: The Long Shadow airs tonight at 8.30pm on the ABC

question:
Washington (CNN) Sen. Marco Rubio, a longtime hawk on Syria, praised the US airstrike on a Syrian airfield days after a chemical attack on innocents attributed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Following news that President Donald Trump had green-lit the US action, Rubio said Thursday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" that Russia could not fairly criticize the military strike because Russia backed Assad -- who is accused of perpetrating the attack on his own people. "They have no standing to say anything about this," Rubio said of the Russians. He said that the move doesn't just send a message, but amounts to a "significant degrading" of Assad's ability to carry out chemical attacks.Rubio said Russians had put themselves into harm's wayHe said the strikes indicated a firm US stance against Assad's reign 
 Question:"I'll let them speak for their policy, but tonight's actions show that the days of being able to act with impunity are over when it comes to _-Assad," Rubio said.
answer:
Bashar al
