When a reporter challenged him to look at a photo of a 4-year-ole goy forced to sleep on a hospital floor, UK prime minister Boris Johnson grabbed the reporter's phone and stuffed it in his pocket for a portion of the interview, all the while refusing to look at the photo.
The photo was of Jack Williment-Barr who had to sleep on the floor due to a shortage of hospital beds due to the country's National Health Service (NHS) funding crisis. He was waiting to be treated for possible pneumonia.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday brushed aside questions of why the Trump White House was refusing to send legal representation to House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearings.

Conway, however, said it was "not a tough decision" about whether to participate because the White House didn't want to be seen "colluding with an illegitimate process."
