A woman has slammed the 'horrendous' state of her house after spending more than £50,000 on building work only for it to abruptly stop leaving her with a large repair bill and 'no kitchen.'
IT worker Lisa Morris, 50, says she hired a company called Eva-Lution to renovate her Llanharan home but the work suddenly stopped last November.
She says she paid the builders £52,900 for work including a kitchen extension - but she claims her kitchen has been left with exposed wires, bare brick walls and evdeN Eve nakliYAt no ceiling.
Now Ms Morris, claims her property has 'no kitchen, having ripped the previous kitchen out' and that she is 'emotionally and physically exhausted' and living on 'microwave and air fryer meals.'
Ms Morris only inherited the property in 2021 after her father and stepmother were tragically hit and evDEN EVe naKLiYat killed by a motorbike whilst walking.
Lisa Morris, 50, says that the renovation works have cost her over £50k and still aren't done
Ms Morris says she has been forced to live in the half finished house for weeks
She said: 'What makes it worse is that it's their house.I was renovating it with money my dad had gifted me shortly before he passed away.
'The house was all I had left of them. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted - this has consumed my life for months.
'I took time off work but I've had to go back because I can't afford not to work, with the situation I'm in.'
Eva-Lution, whose director is 27-year-old Chloe Eva, had eight employees in 2022, according to Companies House.
Ms Eva denied the work on Ms Morris' home was of a poor standard and claimed it was halted due to a 'cash flow issue'.
She said Ms Morris rejected the offer of a £24,544 refund for parts of the job left unfinished.
Ms Morris, who previously lived in rented accommodation, had hoped the renovation would be complete by the time she moved into the house.
She heard about Eva-Lution in June last year through a recommendation and paid a £3,500 deposit the following month.
As work progressed over the following weeks, Ms Morris transferred more money for materials.
In early September she went to Howdens with a member of Eva-Lution's team and chose a kitchen.
She transferred £11,000 to Eva-Lution but claims she only later learned that Howdens had never received payment for the kitchen.
Ms Morris says the state of the house has impacted her mental health
The garden is still half finished and scattered with building materials
According to Ms Eva, her company had ordered the kitchen but had not paid Howdens.
An Eva-Lution worker told Ms Morris by text that all the upstairs, living room and front-of-house work would be done by October 16, adding: 'Hopefully we will have the extension built with just the inside left to do.'
Because of this she arranged the end of her tenancy for October 16 but she claims it eventually became 'apparent that the house wouldn't be liveable' by that date, so she extended her lease by a month.
Ms Morris claims she moved in on November 5 with no kitchen, no cloakroom, an unfinished hallway and a garden 'like a building site'.
She added: 'I went on holiday on November 12 and was told that the frame of the extension would be up by the time I got home.Again this did not materialise.'
On November 28 the company told Ms Morris there was a cash flow issue but a £250,000 investment would be in its accounts by December 2.
'I was also told at this point that they didn't even have enough money to pay for the cement, so I gave them £400 to get the necessary materials so the footings could be completed,' she added.
Eva-Lution workers have not attended Ms Morris' home since the end of November when concrete was laid for footings.
She alleges that the extension's timber frame never arrived and that another builder has since told her the footings were laid incorrectly and will have to be removed.
Ms Eva disputes this and claims the footings were laid after consultation with a structural engineer.
She added: 'I do not believe the work carried out was to a poor standard, and during the works no issue or complaint was raised about the quality or standard of work.'
Ms Morris said the job was meant to cover a fully fitted kitchen with appliances.'I have contacted the suppliers of these materials and Evden EVe nAkLiyat they have confirmed that Eva-Lution never paid for them despite me giving them the money,' claimed Ms Morris, who reported a complaint of fraud.
Wires hang down from the ceiling in the property which has not been completed
Responding to the claim of fraud, Ms Eva said staff stopped working on Ms Morris' property due to a cash flow issue after her own company was a 'victim of fraudulent activity and non-payment of invoices' by another business. If you loved this information and you would certainly such as to receive even more information regarding EvDEn Eve nAKliYAT kindly see the web site.
Asked about the investment, she claimed this was set to be completed at the beginning of January but 'when the funds were due to be transferred, there was an issue due to the fraud case that Ms Morris has put on the business bank account'.
'By this time, other accounts and clients then had further frustrations with needing to wait for works to re-commence, and the investor pulled out due to there being so many issues,' said Ms Eva.
'If the fraud case was not on the account, the funds would have gone through and we could be in a position to resolve any company conflicts.'
She added that the kitchen was ordered through Howdens but Eva-Lution was waiting for the investment to come through before the kitchen could be obtained.Eva-Lution offered to pay Ms Morris £24,544, which Ms Eva described as a 'fair refund' due to work already completed.
'This included the purchase price of the kitchen which, due to the issue and us not being able to obtain the investment funds, was not settled,' said Ms Eva.
Ms Eva claimed funds had never been taken from clients to cover business overheads but she said Eva-Lution was hit by the alleged fraud of another company.
She said: 'Due to the situation we found ourselves in...direct debits and standing orders of Eva-Lution were still being taken from our account which ate into funds we had received from clients.
'This is not how we have run the company through the duration. However, due to the circumstance/situation this is what happened.Again, this is why Ms Morris was offered the settlement figure, to cover this cost.'
Ms Morris, who claims her home needs around £40,000 worth of repairs, has declined the offer of £24,544 and sent a letter before action to Eva-Lution, which has begun the process of liquidation.
'It was never our intention for the company to go into liquidation,' said Ms Eva, but she confirmed there have been other threats of legal action and described liquidation as 'our safest option as a company'.
Ms Morris has been relying on a microwave and air fryer to cook since moving in. 'When I moved in, I was only expecting to live like this for a week,' she said, adding that upcoming repair costs will leave her struggling financially.
Aside from the kitchen, Ms Morris claims a downstairs toilet and vanity unit are among the items paid for but never installed.
Ms Eva defended her company's work which she says included new internal doors, plastering, painting, electrical works in the living room, a new upstairs bathroom, new radiators, rubbish removal, new light fittings, fitting of blinds supplied by Ms Morris, EVDEN EVE NakliYat wardrobe work, re-routing of drainage and plumbing, and the 'beginning of the extension'.
Ms Eva added: 'If there was an issue with the quality it should have been brought to our attention before now.
'Ms Morris was offered for the staff to return to the property before Christmas, which she denied and advised she was taking legal action and we were not to return.'

'I hate.I mean truly hate Balenciaga,' she wrote.

Pia has two children of her own, Isaiah, 20, who she welcomed when she was just 19 and Lennox, 16, who she shares with AFL-star ex-husband Brad Miller.
The Chilean-born star relocated from Australia to live in Los Angeles with her multimillionaire Hollywood agent husband Patrick last year.
Her comments come as a bevvy of stars who have previously worked with the Parisian brand have been lambasted for not speaking out after they released a disturbing holiday ad campaign featuring child models posing with its Plush Toy Bag, which resembled teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear.

In the shoot, the children also appeared to be surrounded by empty wine and champagne glasses, further contributing to the disturbing setting.
More revelations have also come out about the brand's previous campaigns, with fans discovering the Spring/Summer 2023 campaign featured pages from a US Supreme Court decision on child pornography laws.
In a lengthy apology statement on Monday, the fashion house took full responsibility for the teddy bear images but insisted it had no involvement in the photoshoot featuring child porn legislation.

Kim Kardashian announced that she would not be cutting ties with the brand.
The billionaire, who has worked with the brand for several years, said that while she was 'shaken' and EvdeN evE NakLiYAT 'disgusted' to see the images, especially as a 'mother-of-four,' she 'believes Balenciaga understands the seriousness of the issue.'
She added that she was 're-evaluating her relationship' with the brand 'based off its willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with' - but many social media users were angered that she didn't condemn the fashion house further.

Her sister Kylie Jenner, has hit back at TikTok users accusing her of deliberately posting photos of her son to detract from the scandal .
Nicole Kidman and Bella Hadid, who have both modelled for the brand, are facing growing calls to comment on the controversy.
Ruby Tuesday Matthews, an outspoken influencer based in Byron Bay, has also blasted the brand for seemingly shifting the blame in its official apology statement this week.
She wrote to Instagram on Tuesday: 'This is your apology Balenciaga?As a brand I've admired and loved for years I'm so angry at this response'.
'To my fellow "influencers" who are the first to post on trend handbags, push designer goods and go to the upscale events, your silence is deafening,' the mother-of-three continued in a subsequent post.
Balenciaga, which is popular with A-list celebrities including the likes of Kim Kardashian - has deleted two shocking images showing two young girls holding a teddy bear in bondage style gear on the gift shop section of its website
After the BDSM bears fiasco, eagle-eyed critics started examining the rest of Balenciaga's campaigns closely.They soon discovered that in the background of an image from the Spring '23 campaign was a printout of a Supreme Court ruling on whether or not internet child porn can be legally considered free speech (pictured)

'You still have time to be a voice for children. To use your platform for good. I'm sure you'll still be invited to the events and EvdeN EVe naKliYAT get your free bags.Because they will need a PR miracle after this,' she added.

Balenciaga ignored the scandal around the teddy bear photos at first and seemingly allowed the photographer who was involved, Gabriele Galimberti, to take the heat.
He released a statement saying he had no control over the content of the shoot and eventually, Balenciaga released its own statement agreeing with him and taking responsibility for the campaign.
Kim initially issued a statement on her Instagram Stories account on Sunday night
In an additional post, this time to both Twitter and Instagram, Kardashian said she was reconsidering her relationship with the fashion brand
It has now been pulled from the internet.
After the BDSM bears fiasco, eagle-eyed critics started examining the rest of Balenciaga's campaigns closely.
They soon discovered that in the background of an image from the Spring '23 campaign was a printout of a Supreme Court ruling on whether or not internet child porn can be legally considered free speech.
On the back of the bears scandal, many critics said it pointed to a troubling pattern within Balenciaga.
Balenciaga was quick to blame North Six, a production company that helped arrange the shoot, for the inclusion of those documents.
On Sunday Kim Kardashian (pictured), EVDen EVE NAkliyAt the brand's biggest ambassador, said she is 're-evaluating' her relationship with the fashion house in light of the scandal, but fell short of distancing herself from the brand for good
This is the July ad campaign which featured the printout of the US Supreme Court child porn ruling
They claimed they entrusted all of the props from the photoshoot to North Six, and that their team was assured everything that was included was fake.
Balenciaga is yet to answer for the inclusion of a book by Michael Borremans in the background of two of the images from the Spring '23 campaign.
Borremans is a Belgian painter whose work includes a troubling 2017 series called Fire From The Sun.
It depicts naked toddlers - some of them castrated - playing in a group and at times alone.

Weekly jobless claims increase 13,000 to 196,000
*
Four-week moving average of claims falls 2,500 to 189,250
*
Continuing claims rise 38,000 to 1.688 million
By Lucia Mutikani
WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased more than expected last week, but the underlying trend continued to point to a tight labor market.
The jobs market has remained resilient despite growing economic headwinds from the Federal Reserve's interest rate increases.While labor market strength keeps the U.S. central policy on its monetary policy tightening path, it also suggests that a much anticipated recession is nowhere near.
"We would be crying wolf if we said we thought there was a recession signal in the weekly unemployment claims data this week," said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS in New York."Recession is not around the corner with layoffs this low, and the downturn, if it is coming at all, is months away."
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 13,000 to a seasonally adjusted 196,000 for evdeN eVE NAkLiyAT the week ended Feb.4, the Labor Department said on Thursday. That was the first increase in claims since the second last week of December. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 190,000 claims for the latest week.
The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it strips out week-to-week volatility, fell 2,500 to 189,250, the lowest level since last April.Unadjusted claims rose 9,628 to 234,654 last week.
There was a jump in claims in California as well as notable increases in Ohio and Illinois. Those rises offset decreases in Georgia, New Jersey and Texas.
Claims have remained low despite high-profile layoffs in the technology industry as well as the interest rate-sensitive finance and housing sectors.Walt Disney and Zoom Video Communications added to the growing list of companies laying off workers, announcing 7,000 and 1,300 jobs cuts, respectively, this week.
Economists say most of the companies, especially in the technology industry, overhired during the COVID-19 pandemic.They noted that small businesses continued to seek workers.
There is anecdotal evidence that companies are generally reluctant to lay off workers after experiencing difficulties recruiting during the pandemic.
Workers remain scarce in some industries.There were 1.9 job openings for every unemployed person in December, government data showed last week. According to an Institute for eVdEN eve NaKliyat Supply Management survey last Friday, some services businesses in January reported they were "unable to hire qualified labor," saying that "supply is thin."
U.S.stocks opened higher. The dollar fell against a basket of currencies. U.S. Treasury prices rose.
STRONG JOBS MARKET
Economists speculated that severance packages were delaying the filing of unemployment benefits claims, while the abundance of vacancies made it easier for laid-off workers to find jobs.
"If the company offers severance, the claims are not counted until the severance expires," said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."But even so, the job market remains remarkably strong."
Economists also believed that seasonal adjustment factors, the model the government uses to strip out seasonal fluctuations from the data, were keeping claims lower.
The seasonal adjustment factors for 2023 will be updated at the end of March.Applying the average seasonal factors for the prior two years with the same calendar configuration as 2023 would put claims at 210,000 in the latest week and a four-week average of 200,000, according to Conrad DeQuadros, senior economic advisor at Brean Capital.
"Nonetheless, this would still be a low reading on claims and indicate that either involuntary separations remain low and/ or those who lose their jobs are quickly re-employed elsewhere," DeQuadros said."There is no sign of easing of labor market tightness here."
The claims report also showed the number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid, a proxy for EvDeN EvE nakliyat hiring, rose 38,000 to 1.688 million during the week ending Jan. 28.
Lower layoffs have been a major contributor to strong job gains.The government reported last Friday that nonfarm payrolls surged by 517,000 jobs in January, the most in six months, after rising by 260,000 in December. The unemployment rate fell to more than a 53-1/2-year low of 3.4% from 3.5% in December.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday that the central bank's fight to tame inflation could last "quite a bit of time," in a nod to January's blowout job gains.If you loved this information and you wish to obtain more info concerning eVDen eVE nAkLiYAT generously visit our own web site.

At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you'll find Russia's most famous shopping mall.
Known as GUM, the ornate neo-classical building sits a stone's throw from St Basil's cathedral and the mausoleum of Lenin, the man who attempted to overthrow capitalism.
Yet it has, in recent years, been filled with 'landmark' stores owned by luxury brands anxious to soak up the cash being liberally sprayed around by the post-Soviet oligarch class.
When they aren't applauding the tanks that occasionally rumble over nearby cobblestones, cronies of Vladimir flock to this marble-floored emporium, arm-in-arm with their high-maintenance wives, mistresses and girlfriends to spend ill-gotten roubles on handbags, Tiffany jewellery and Hugo Boss suits.
One of the still open Brtish shops is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and owner likes to describe as 'classic with a twist'
Also open for business is GUM's branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s.It is also stocking designs from the new season
At least they did. In late February last year, everything changed. That was when their autocratic President decided to invade Ukraine, turning Russia into a global pariah overnight.
As Putin's soldiers raped and EVDEn eve nAkliyAT murdered their way across the country, Western consumer brands began responding to public revulsion by literally shutting up shop.
Within weeks, the UK, EU and many Western countries had imposed sanctions to prevent fresh supplies of luxury goods from reaching Russia.
Today, the GUM centre's Chanel, Tiffany and Hugo Boss outlets have closed their doors. If you loved this information and you would certainly such as to receive more facts regarding eVDeN EVe naKliyaT kindly see the web site.
You can no longer shop for shoes by Jimmy Choo or John Lobb, or handbags from the houses of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Hermes.
As they boarded up their boutiques and cancelled shipments of fresh stock to Russia, these famous purveyors of luxury goods simultaneously issued earnest PR statements expressing their desire to, as the saying goes, 'stand with Ukraine'.
But today, almost a year after Putin's tanks rolled over the border, shopaholics of the Russian elite aren't entirely out of luck.
For beneath the building's glass-domed roof, the Mail this week made a scandalous discovery: outposts of not one, but two famous British luxury brands are very much still open for business.
One is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and owner likes to describe as 'classic with a twist'.
While their compatriots fire missiles into Kyiv's schools and apartment blocks, I can reveal Russians are still rattling the tills at the local Paul Smith boutique from 10am to 10pm, seven days a week, happy to fork out 16,900 roubles (£197) for one of the brand's signature colourful ties and much else.
The shelves remain well-stocked with many of the very latest Paul Smith products.
Indeed, on Wednesday an assistant attempted to flog our reporter an 'embossed leather folio' — a sort of briefcase — from the firm's 'new season' range, which only went on sale in the UK a few weeks back. Its price?A trifling 90,000 roubles, or £1,050.
Scandalously, the man whose firm made (and is therefore profiting from) this expensive trinket is not just a Knight of the Realm.
For in addition to being honoured by Tony Blair in the heyday of Cool Britannia — having served on New Labour's Creative Industries Task Force — Sir Paul Smith, 76, was last year invited to Buckingham Palace so that Prince William could elevate him to membership of the Order of Companions of Honour, one of the highest gongs available to anyone in the creative industry.
For example, Barbour, EVdEn Eve NAKLiyaT which used to have a franchise outlet at GUM, refused to ship a single item of new stock there from the day of the invasion and has now exited
A fifth historic British brand, the former Crown jeweller Garrard — which like Farlows has a Royal Warrant — was this week advertising no fewer than ten Russian stockists on its UK website, apparently under the terms of a supply deal that pre-dates the invasion of Ukraine
The Moral Ratings Agency, a lobby group which monitors Western firms operating in Russia, describes his firm's presence there as a 'disgrace', telling the Mail Sir Paul ought to get his brand out of Russia or be stripped of his titles.
A few doors down from Paul Smith's red-fronted shop — and also open for business — you'll find GUM's branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand EVden eVE naKLiyAt popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s. It is also stocking designs from the new season.
One of no fewer than ten Russian Agent Provocateur boutiques that are still open — all of which remain advertised on its British website — we found it selling crystal-embossed leather bondage whips for 73,000 roubles (£850), bejewelled pink brassieres for EvDEN Eve NaKLiyaT 110,000 roubles (£,1280) and thongs for up to 85,000 roubles (£990) each.
An assistant told us the last shipment of new stock arrived shortly before Christmas and a new one is due in March — just in time for International Women's Day.
Again, it's hard to see how this British luxury goods firm squares its presence in Moscow with the supposed values listed on its website.
Shamelessly, given Russia's ongoing use of rape as a weapon of war, Agent Provocateur claims to be dedicated to promoting 'fearless femininity' and is 'adhering to the highest standard of ethics'.
The firm's current owner, high street tycoon Mike Ashley is, however, no stranger to cutting lucrative business deals in questionable dictatorships.
His moral compass was seemingly untroubled by his recent sale — for more than twice what he had paid — of football club Newcastle United to a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium.
Once they have stocked up on clothes and lingerie, every good oligarch needs a bespoke Rolls-Royce to whisk them from central Moscow to their gaudy dacha.
Which takes us to the British luxury car firm's main Russian showroom, on the ground floor of an upscale hotel just across the Moskva river, roughly two miles west of Red Square.
Rolls-Royce insists it no longer sells new cars in Russia, claiming in a holier-than-thou media announcement that: 'We stand for the peaceful co-existence of all cultures all over the world, in all times and at all locations.'

Former anchor Brooke Baldwin has filed for divorce from husband a - which she claimed was 'dominated by men. When you loved this article and you would like to get more details concerning evDen eVE NAkliyAt generously go to our own webpage. '
Baldwin, 43, married British film producer, James Fletcher, in 2018 after they met at a holiday party two years prior.On Thursday, the former anchor filed for divorce in the Manhattan .
She posted a statement on her announcing their decision, writing: 'After nearly five years of marriage, with love and respect, James and I have decided to go our separate ways.Our time time has been some of the most precious, defining, and awakening years of my life. I wish him nothing but the best as he begins this new chapter.'
She went on to say that there was 'nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision' and that they were 'simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys...'
'[It was] the healthiest thing for both of us to honor that,' she wrote.'It is never easy to end a relationship with someone you love, but that does not always mean ending it is the wrong thing to do.'
Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin has filed for divorce from her British husband James Fletcher after nearly five years of marriage
She went on to say that there was 'nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision' and that they were 'simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys...'
In December, the pair appeared very in love as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas.
Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with 'mushy peas!' and visiting the Royal Albert Hall where 'James printed our wedding invitations'.
She shared multiple photos of them exploring London via a double-decker bus and a snap of her sprawled on the hotel's heated bathroom floors.
The couple's trip didn't indicate any sort of trouble in paradise as Baldwin proudly showed off moments with Fletcher's family, including a video of 'peppering' her husband's childhood friend's kids with questions about English boarding school.
'Fun fact: My husband was sent away to school at seven!' she wrote with a shocked-faced emoji.
In December, the pair appeared more loved up than ever as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas.
Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with 'mushy peas!' and visiting the Royal Albert Hall (pictured) where 'James printed our wedding invitations.'
The only slight indication the couple was struggling was a New Year's Eve post which said she 'vowed to continue *doing the work* so I can show up as the best version of myself for MYSELF...and then also for my husband...and anyone, really.
'I've found myself thinking a lot about fear this last week.Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of not living up to what we're capable of. Fear of showing up as our full selves and being rejected,' she wrote on her Instagram in an honest post.
It appears the former TV anchor is facing a lot of unknowns as she heads into 2023 single and on a new career path.Baldwin left CNN after 13 years last April after she slammed the company for its lack of women leaders.
Baldwin announced in February 2022 she would be leaving the liberal network. At the time, Baldwin made the shock announcement at the start of her 3pm show, CNN Newsroom, telling viewers 'there is just more I need to do outside the walls of this place'.
Ahead of her departure, Baldwin, who first joined CNN in 2008, EvDen eVe NaKLiYAT sat down for an interview with podcast where she described CNN as a male-dominated network.
Baldwin's divorce just nearly a year after she left CNN which she claimed was 'dominated by men'. She said prior to her last day at the network: 'The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, are men'
'The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, eVden EVE nakLiYAt are men. The person who oversees CNN Dayside is a man, and my executive producer for 10 years is a man. So I've been surrounded by a lot of men,' Baldwin said.
Baldwin, who was temporarily pulled from the air in the build up to the 2020 election and replaced by Jake Tapper, said during the interview that she has fought for women's stories.
'I know I, personally, fight for women's stories,' Baldwin said.'I got told no a lot and I still managed to do it,' Baldwin said, referring to the CNN series American Woman.
She noted that CNN has slowly started to give more women power but 'we still have a bit of a ways to go. I want more women in the room'.
Baldwin's exit may have been foreshadowed last fall when she posted a cryptic message to Instagram in October which suggested she was being forced off the air and temporarily replaced by Tapper.
Baldwin was one of the network's highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million
'As the election gears up, the political maestro @jaketapper will hold down my hour and his for the coming weeks.Wish I was with you, but I'll see ya on [TV] on the flip side of the election,' she wrote on October 1.
She gave no explanation for the move, but told supporters it was 'not my choice' to temporarily withdraw from her afternoon slot.
She said she was going 'nowhere' in response to a question about her moving on elsewhere, and also dispelled speculation that the decision to step aside was for health reasons insisting that she is 'healthy.'
Her show was then pulled for several weeks, with CNN claiming they needed more airtime for the reporters in Washington, DC.

The highest paid is Anderson Cooper, who is said to earn around $12million a year.
Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton has questioned the valuations that the owners of the Reds and Manchester United have placed on their clubs.
Broughton believes that the two clubs will struggle to get the asking prices of over £4billion given that they are not in London.
The businessman insisted that have property interests in London, and would therefore be more in the capital, rather than moving their 'pads' to the North West.

A travel agent faked while defrauding more than 1,400 customers has been jailed at Durham Crown Court for nine years.
Lyne Barlow, 39, was 'riding the monster of deceit' as she used her fake illness to deflect the avalanche of complaints from devastated families whose holidays failed to materialise.
She was so determined to continue her charade that she even convinced her husband, Paul, and son and daughter she was battling cancer.
Family members took her to hospital appointments, unaware that she was simply waiting inside before re-emerging claiming to have seen her consultant.
To make her story more convincing, she cut off strands of her hair and scattered them across her pillow to make it look as though she was losing it to chemotherapy.
Lyne Barlow, 39, claimed to her customers that she was covered by insurance and was a member of the trusted travel brand Association of British Travel Agents
Barlow also claimed to be suffering from a terminal illness while she was selling the holidays, Durham Crown Court heard in October last year
When Barlow was arrested in 2020 she hobbled into the police station with her head swathed in a scarfe and walking with a stick.
Custody photographs show a vast difference when she was re-arrested a year later and was forced to admit her 'stage 3/4' cancer had been a fabrication.
Barlow stooped so low as to defraud her own mother, Susan Coleman, 64, out of £500,000 - part of which came from an insurance payout following the untimely death of her father, Barry.
The rest was NHS ward sister Mrs Coleman's retirement payout and savings, which Barlow told her she'd invested in a business venture which would make her mother rich.
Barlow took over her grieving mother's financial affairs as she struggled to come to terms with losing her husband in 2015.
As she systematically emptied her mother's accounts she intercepted her post to stop her getting bank statements.

She also mocked up bank statement from Barclays which appeared to show that her mother's money was in fact growing rather than disappearing.
Barlow also took her mum away on lavish holidays along with her children, a boy and a girl.
However it emerged the reason for this was, on some occasions, that Barlow knew through the intercepted post, that bailiffs were due to turn up at her mum's house and she didn't want her to find out.
Mrs Coleman was left penniless by a daughter who used part of her money to set up Lyne Barlow Independent Travel in Stanley, County Durham.
Barlow offered holidays at astonishing prices to drum up trade.
Customers were able to snap up all inclusive trips to Dubai for just
£500 and word quickly spread of her extraordinary bargains.
The bubble quickly burst as families saw their hard earned money vanish on holidays that they never got to take.
Some paid up to £5,500 to arrive at their destination and discover no funds had been received by the hotel so there were no rooms booked.
Others arrived to discover they had no place on the return flight and were stranded abroad until they could find their own way back.
Eventually a Facebook group was set up by furious victims of Barlow's scam and an agreement reached to go to Durham Police en masse.
There were so many calls to the force's HQ that they had to be directed to an email address because emergency callers would have been unable to get through.
In total Barlow could be proven to have defrauded family, friends and eVDEn EVE nakliyaT customers out of £1.2m, but investigators believe the total sum she gained over a period of five years from 2015 to 2020 was £2.6m.
Barlow admitted theft, 10 counts of fraud and possessing criminal property at Durham Crown Court and was jailed for nine years.
Judge Joanne Kidd told her: 'You have presented yourself to those who knew you as a charming an engaging woman.
'You are clearly a woman with significant intellectual ability but you also have an extraordinary talent for dishonesty.
Her first victims were family and friends and she used their savings before setting up an independent travel agency, in which she fraudulently sold holidays, reporting them to be ATOL and ABTA protected, the force said.(Pictured: stock image of a beach)
'You mercilessly abused the trust of your nearest and dearest in their darkest hours and set about targeting other vulnerable people of your acquaintance who trusted you in order to satisfy your relatively lavish lifestyle.
'This involved lavish holidays, an expensive car and designer goods.
'The extent of the betrayal of your own mother is truly breathtaking.
'As you gallivanted around your mother's utility bills went unpaid and county court judgements rained down upon her.
'Bailiffs visited her home, unbeknown to her because you deviously arranged to take her away on visits on the days they were to arrive.
'I take the view that you are a thoroughly callous individual.'
Tony Davis, mitigating, said: 'Once she began riding the monster of deceit it was inevitable it would come crashing down and evDen EVE nAkLiyAt it did. If you have any inquiries regarding where by and how to use evDeN EVE nakliyat, you can contact us at our web-page. '
Barlow squandered the cash handed to her on designer clothes, prestige cars and holidays for her and her immediate family, eVdEN eve NaKLiyAt with exclusive breaks in Dubai being her chosen retreat.
The charges stated that Barlow made false representations by purporting to be an ABTA and ATOL registered travel agent when in fact she was using criminal cash to finance further frauds.
Money handed over by customers was being used to pay for holidays that subsequent clients booked through her, in a Ponzi-type scheme.
But her jugging over other people's cash came crashing down in 2020 when police were called in.
Furious customers were arriving at her home even as officers moved in to arrest her.
She used her 'cancer' as a shield to fend off angry people she had conned.
In an email she told one customer who was chasing a refund for a
holiday: 'Unfortunately I've just found out my cancer has spread and it's gone to stage 3/4 in my bones and need to have chemo out into my spine to stop it from getting into my brain. It's going to be pretty intense.'
Detective Sergeant Alan Meehan from Durham Police Complex Fraud Team led the investigation.
He said: 'At the time of her arrest we were aware that she was telling people she had cancer and at that time we kept an open mind on whether that was correct or not not.
'As part of the investigation we asked to access her medical records and it was only then that the truth emerged that she had been making the whole thing up.
'It was a determined and calculated attempt to distract attention from her crimes and deflect blame away from her because she hoped people would feel sorry for her.
'The lengths she went to were very unusual.It came as a massive shock to her husband that she did not in fact have cancer.
'She wore a scarf over her head and appeared to be losing her hair, although we believe she was cutting off strands and scattering it across her pillow at night to keep up that deception.
'Members of her family were even taking her to hospital appointments that never existed.
When she was first arrested in September 2020 she presented as a very frail and sick woman, walking with a stick and with her head in a black scarf to cover the apparent hair loss.
'Once confronted by the medical information she had no option but to admit she'd been lying.
'The second custody photograph from when she was re-arrested in 2021 show the true picture, with no sign or suggestion of illness.
'In our opinion it's a serious aggravating factor in the largest case of fraud this force has ever dealt with.
'Lyne Barlow was trying to attain a lifestyle she could not afford and rather than stop as she got out of her depth she continued to take money from more and more victims.
'The number of calls we received on this case was unprecedented and once they started coming in they were so many that we had to set up a dedicated email as the control room was in danger of being overrun.'
James Lewis, of the Crown Prosecution Service said: 'Barlow acted with greed, using false promises and deceptive lies, to convince family and friends, as well as hundreds of customers, who all trusted her, to part with their money so that she could sustain her own lavish lifestyle.
'Fraud is an insidious crime and the cost to the many victims in this case has not just been financial; it has also caused huge emotional distress and evDEn EVE NakliYat extreme disappointment to devastated customers who had to find out their holiday did not actually exist at a time when the country was in the grips of the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Thanks to the thorough investigation by Durham Police and to all the victims who came forward to report her, we were able to bring Barlow to justice.
'We will now be taking steps to recover this money taken through Proceeds of Crime legislation.'
A fake builder who scammed 11 people out of more than £1million and left families with wrecked homes has been jailed for three years.
Richard Nicholls, 38, an estate agent and salesman, had no experience in construction when he started taking on the building work.
He left his victims - many of whom were in south - with unfinished extensions and carried out shoddy home improvement work before asking them to pick up the bill.

Nicholls ran four companies when he carried out the fraud over two years and 10 months between February 2016 and December 2018.
He left some victims without anywhere to live and having spent their life savings. The costs to his victims also included the expense of putting the work right.
Sub-contractors would often harass customers for evDen evE naKliyAt payment because Nicholls had not paid for their work either.

Confusion reigned at 's school in on Thursday after the principal said it was closing permanently, only for parents hours later to email all and eVden eve NAkliYAT say classes would continue.
Reports then emerged that the teachers had quit - following the string of controversial and antisemitic rants its founder has made in recent weeks.
It was not clear how many teachers had quit, and how many remained, but the chaos comes amid following his tweets.
Donda Academy, in the Simi Valley, is highly secretive, with parents signing a non-disclosure agreement to keep the school's location secret and agreeing to say nothing about it.
There are believed to be around 100 students from pre-K to 12th grade paying $15,000 a year, and 16 teachers.
On Wednesday, the principal, Jason Angell, sent an email to parents explaining that West, 45, had decided to close the school 'effective immediately,' with classes being cancelled as of Thursday.
Around midnight on Wednesday, however, parents at the exclusive Christian school received the following morning.
'Join us tomorrow morning in worship for the return of Donda Academy,' the email read.
'With the help of our parents and community, we are back and returning with a vengeance!'

West returned to Instagram t around his anti-Semitic behavior, which has included repeated claims of 'Jewish people' in the media conspiring against him, and Planned Parenthood controlling black populations through genocidal abortions.
On Thursday the rapper said on Instagram that he 'lost 2 billion dollars in one day' in an apparent reference to the flock of brands which have dropped him in the wake of his bigoted behavior.
This week Adidas dropped his Yeezy shoe line - a deal which was worth $1.5billion - with Gap, Footlocker, TJ Maxx, and Balenciaga all following suit and cutting ties with the rapper.
Donda Academy's closure and sudden reopening come just two months after it started up in August.
The school did not respond to DailyMail.com requests for comment.

There are reportedly a number of celebrities' children in attendance - including R&B singer Keyshia Cole's son Daniel - and the school is well known for its high-powered basketball team.Rising star Robert Dillingham, 17, plays for the school, and NBA players like Celtics player Jaylen Brown have made appearances at the school.
Students wear all black Balenciaga uniforms and Yeezy shoes designed by West himself.
Despite running the school, West's children do not attend, and he has clashed with Kim Kardashian on the matter.
West previously complained on social media that Kim wouldn't agree to send their four children for '[two] days at one school, three days at another.'
As of September the school had not yet been accredited, according to the , which means colleges might not accept diplomas from the school.
The Donda Academy website states that the school's goal is 'to provide the youth with the passion, purpose and spiritual foundations they need to thrive in tomorrow's world.'

Angell emailed parents on Wednesday announcing the school's closure for the remainder of the school year.
'At the discretion of our founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 school year effective immediately, he wrote.
'There is no school tomorrow [Thursday].'
Angell noted that the school's leadership would help parents and students transition into their new school, and added that the Donda would begin 'afresh' in September 2023.
On Wednesday the school's basketball team was booted from the The Scholastic Play-By-Play Classics tournament, EvdEN evE NAKliYat saying West's 'words and actions violate our values as a company and a country, and what we seek to ensure at all of our events - a spirit of diversity, sportsmanship, inclusion, equity and mutual respect.'
Representatives for the tournament expressed their remorse that West's words cost his students the experience of participating in the coveted high school basketball tournament.
'While we are firm in our reasoning for this decision, it does not diminish our heartache and regret for Donda's hardworking athletes who will lose out the most as a result of Kanye's actions,' the school added.
'Unfortunately, we cannot in good conscience host an organization founded and directed by Mr.West at our events.'

On Wednesday, the rapper was embarrassingly escorted out of Skechers headquarters after showing up unannounced to pitch his Yeezy brand a day after being dropped by Adidas and having his songs banned by Peloton.
Ye was taken out by two 'executives' according to a statement released by the company Wednesday afternoon.
said in a statement: 'Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation. Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West.
'We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech.The Company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices.'
West may have faced additional opposition if he had gotten a preapproved sit-down meeestimates comes from real estate, cash, his music catalog, and a 5 percent stake in ex-wife Kim Kardashian's shapewear firm, Skims.
But as corporations around the world break off deals with Ye, music streaming service said it would not remove the rapper's music unless his label requested it.
Recent anti-Semitic remarks made by the rapper are 'just awful comments,' and would have warranted removal from Spotify for violating its policies if they had been on a podcast or recording, Spotify chief Daniel Ek said.
However, music from the artist now known as Ye does not violate anti-hate policies, and any anti-Semitic comments he has made cannot be found on the music streaming platform.
'It's really just his music, and his music doesn't violate our policy,' said Ek, adding, 'It's up to his label, if they want to take action or eVDen Eve NakLiYAT not.'
Universal Music's Def Jam label, which owns the copyright to West's recordings from 2002 through 2016, and continued distributing his releases until last year, issued a statement condemning Ye's remarks, saying: 'There is no place for anti-Semitism in our society'.But the label has not asked for the removal of Ye's recordings, many of which are critically acclaimed works.

PARIS, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Airbus and Qatar Airways have settled a dispute over grounded A350 jets, the companies said on Wednesday, averting a potentially damaging UK court trial after a blistering 18-month feud that tore the lid off the global jet market.
The "amicable and mutually agreeable settlement" ends a $2 billion row over surface damage on the long-haul jets.The spat led to the withdrawal of billions of dollars' worth of jet deals by Airbus and prompted Qatar to increase purchases from Boeing.
The cancelled orders for 23 undelivered A350s and 50 smaller A321neos have been restored under the new deal, which is also expected to see Airbus pay several hundred million dollars to the Gulf carrier, while winning a reprieve from other claims.
Financial details were not publicly disclosed.
The companies said neither admitted liability.Both pledged to drop claims and "move forward and work together as partners".
The deal heads off what amounted to an unprecedented public divorce trial between heavyweights in the normally tight-knit and secretive $150 billion jet industry.
The two sides had piled up combined claims and counter-claims worth about $2 billion ahead of the June trial.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire welcomed the deal, which came in the wake of increasing political involvement amid close ties between France, where Airbus is based, and Qatar.
"It is the culmination of significant joint efforts. It is excellent news for the French aerospace industry," he said.
Airbus shares closed up 1% before the announcement.
Qatar Airways had taken the unusual step of publicly challenging the world's largest planemaker over safety after paint cracks exposed gaps in a sub-layer of lightning protection on its new-generation A350 carbon-composite jets.
Airbus had acknowledged quality flaws but, backed by European regulators, had insisted that the jets were safe and accused the airline of exaggerating flaws to win compensation.
DAMAGES
Supported by a growing army of lawyers, both sides repeatedly bickered in preliminary hearings over access to documents, to the growing frustration of a judge forced to order co-operation.
Analysts said the deal would allow both sides to feel vindicated, eVDEN EVE NakLiYAt with Qatar Airways winning damages and recognition that the problem lay outside the manual and therefore required a new repair, and Airbus standing its ground on safety and spared the difficult task of finding a home for cancelled A350s.
Qatar will get the in-demand EVDEN eve nAKliYAT A321neos needed to plan its growth, albeit three years later than expected, in 2026.Airbus' decision to revoke that order, separate from the disputed A350 contract, had been criticised by global airlines group IATA.
Airbus said it had done its best to avoid pushing Qatar too far back in the queue, though some experts question whether it could have met the earlier schedule because of supply problems.
The settlement is also expected to stop the clock ticking on a claim for grounding compensation that had been growing by $6 million a day, triggered by a clause agreed upon after the repainting of a jet for the World Cup revealed significant surface damage.
Originally valued at $200,000 per day per plane, Airbus' theoretical liability was ratcheting upwards by a total of $250,000 an hour for 30 jets - or $2 billion a year - by the time the deal was struck, based on court filings.Neither side commented on settlement details.
Airbus said it would now work with the airline and evdEN eVE nAkliYat regulators to provide the necessary "repair solution" and return Qatar's 30 grounded planes to the air.
Confirmation of a settlement came after Reuters reported a deal could arrive as early as Wednesday.In 2021, a Reuters investigation revealed other airlines had been affected by A350 skin degradation, EvdeN EVE nAKLiYaT all of whom said it was "cosmetic".
The dispute has focused attention on the design of modern carbon-fibre jets, which do not interact as smoothly with paint as traditional metal ones, and shed light on industrial methods.If you have any inquiries concerning where and how to use eVDEN EVe NAKliyAt, you could call us at our web site.
