david willis has this report. harry dunn died after a car travelling on the wrong side of the road hit his motor bike outside raf croughton in northamptonshire. the driver, anne sacoolas, pictured here on her wedding day, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving but fled the country and claimed diplomatic immunity. officials here have refused to extradite her. last month, at the g7 summit in cornwall, borisjohnson reiterated to president biden his desire to see justice done, and there are now plans for ms sacoolas to attend a virtual civil trialfrom her home in the state of virginia. with the process gathering pace, harry's parents have come here to give evidence under oath. there has got to be a proper end to this. there's got to be justice of some description. this cannot be just left as it is. we will keep going. we will keep going, even if it takes us forever, we will keep going. are you any more confident after today justice will be served? yes, absolutely. you know, like i said, everything we do i

i think everybody likes willie brown. i don't know why he did that, but how important -- i hate to say that, he is a great guy! >> very charming. >> tucker: he doesn't like her, that's for sure. what role did this a fair play and political career? >> i think it launched her political career. i don't think she would be in the play she has without willie brown. when she met him, she was about four years out of law school, she was like a mid-level county prosecutor. willie brown was one of the most powerful politicians in the state of california. he was the head of the state assembly at the time, his nickname for himself was "the ayatollah of the assembly." very powerful. his name also very synonymous with -- he was known for putting people into patronage positions and that is how he was able to build his political machine. we saw this play out with kamala. he appointed her to two state boards that she was not qualified to be on at the time. she was about 30 years younger than anyone else on his board. and you know, it's nic

willy: well it's hard, right? people there a few years ago said they knew what the size was and that they supplied all the competitors and had an idea of what the market would look like and all the competitors came in with their forecasts and they said they all forecast that they would each get 100 cent market share and we know that isn't going to happen. so now you have to go back to your customer and say -- i'm not going to give you all you want, ok? behind the scenes they are saying i'm going to give you what i think you are going to use. that's how they allocate capacity. if they are a big customer like apple, you are going to get what you ask for. if you are a smaller customer, it's a tough, tough talents. they have got to balance these things, telling the customer i can't give you what you want. by the way, sometimes the customers, especially in the auto sector and in the i.t. sector, when they don't need it they say sorry, don't want to anymore. what you are seeing now is a lot of these companies saying tha
