hill. >> and this is cnn hello, and welcome to all of you watching us here in the ide states, canada, and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. >> president >> biden slams congress for going on vacation as us aid to ukraine in remains in limbo it tells me, bring in leader there battlefield struggles, or because of inaction in washington, bus us threatened to veto a new gaza cease-fire resolution at the un security council level live report on the reaction coming in and the tech giants joined forces to battle the potential misuse of artificial intelligence, or how they plan to keep elections safe. and secure >> live from atlanta. this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber >> president biden is blaming republicans in the us congress for the fall of a strategic ukrainian town in the donetsk region. we're told that's the message he delivered to
2:02 am
ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy when the two leaders spoke by phone on saturday biden also says he's not confident ukraine can hold other towns as long as republicans blocked some $60 billion in new military aid for ukraine here is and people fought so bravely and it puts so much on the line the idea that now run out of ammunition, walk away. i find search find it on. find it contrary at everything we are that's foreign aid bill is dead on arrival as they head into a two-week break. and house speaker mike johnson says, he has no plans to bring the bill to the floor biden is also speaking out about the death of russian opposition leader alexey navalny. officials that this prison saying navalny died friday, there's been no word on the cause of his death. but president biden says he has no
2:03 am
doubt that vladimir putin is to blame areas back in the matter is who is responsible whether he ordered a drink, he is responsible for circumstances affection, who he is cannot be tolerated. >> more than 400 people have been detained across russia while attending vigils or demonstrations supporting navalny. and those numbers come from ovd info and independent russian human rights group. it's not clear how many of those people have been released. i'll see you then has a team of reporters across all the latest developments this morning, we start with priscilla alvarez of washington president >> joe biden on saturday, underscoring the stakes of getting additional funds to ukraine following a phone call with ukrainian president zelenskyy earlier in the today. this as ukraine has had to withdraw from one of its towns ceding ground to russia because ukraine is low on ammunition,
2:04 am
something that president biden tied directly to congressional inaction here in washington. now, this scenario of ukraine having to withdraw because, because they are low on ammunition has been a top concern. for us officials and something they have warned about if additional aid is not urgently sent to ukraine. and the president indicating on saturday that he is not confident that other towns won't fall if that aid isn't sent to ukraine >> there isn't another city to fall right after this a conference i'm not no one can ukrainian people fought so bravely it puts so much on the line now run out of ammunition, walk away i find it. sir. >> find you now the funds that the president is referring to here are ones that date back to october when the white house and abroad national security supplemental request asked for
2:05 am
$60 billion in additional funding to send to ukraine now that funding has been stalled amid infighting in congress, but it didn't make some progress in the senate when the senate passed a foreign aid package earlier in the week and includes those $60 billion for ukraine. but the house has gone on recess for two weeks. and house speaker mike johnson has said that he doesn't have any plan and so put this package on the floor, leaving all of these funds on certain in the meantime, the president and the vice president, or trying to reassure allies that they will stand by ukraine and they will not see ground to russia. all of it made all the more difficult without that additional funding sent to ukraine priscilla alvarez, cnn, washington >> so as we mentioned earlier, the russian defense minister says his forces have taken control of the eastern ukrainian city of defka, ukraine's forces, there were greatly outnumber and then it has suffered daily assaults since october clare sebastian joins me now from london. so
2:06 am
clare just take us through the latest on the fall of defka and its importance here. >> yeah, again, this is not a big town. this is a town of some 29 square kilometers, a pre-war population of just over 30,000. so even smaller than bakhmut, which of course we saw fall in the spring, but in a war where the front lines have barely moved really over the course of the last sort of six to nine months. this does matter. russia is going to bank this as a victory. we've seen putin congratulating the commander in charge for ukraine. they are painting this in several ways. one, a decision of course, taken by the new commander in chief save the lives of ukrainian soldiers. the commander of the third assault brigade, deputy commander saying that this was to come back and strike even harder. so they are saying that they are pulling back and they're going to be able to regroup and strike even harder. president zelenskyy saying that in fact, one of the tasks of depleting the russian army was fulfilled he claims that russian losses outnumber
2:07 am
ukrainian losses in, just seven to one, but even so with all that, it is revealing, this is not just about a lack of ammunition and weapons as president biden and president zelenskyy have said this is about manpower. we saw that russia's tactic as it evolves old over the course of these months of fighting and avdiivka was very similar to bakhmut to send in these waves of infantry groups this kind of meat grinder at tactic and when it comes to manpower, ukraine is also on the back foot. they have many aging soldiers who've been on the front lines now for the best part of two years, there struggling to find a way to mobilize more. and meanwhile, russia has found ways to bring moment to the front lines. so i think, look, russia will be able to bank this victory coming just a week or so before the second anniversary of the invasion. >> where are you pointed out that it's not just about the lack of ammunition, but the biden ministration he's still trying to link the cranium
2:08 am
withdrawal enough. deif gun, the stalled funding and congress. so take us through those comments and put them in context for us. >> yeah, i can president biden very explicit about this, blaming congressional inaction for the withdrawal and idea of gerlach. ukraine has been on the backfoot when it comes to ammunition for months now. and i think this is part of what's what's playing out on the ground and of d, of gut and biden is trying to leverage this to try to spark congressional action. not only this, by the way, but he's also said that he hopes the death of an xa navalny will try. we'll expose to congress the ills of the putin regime and will spur action when it comes to arming ukraine and preventing a russian victory there will it work? i think that is still a big question. congress is now on a two-week break, something that president biden has roundly criticized when it comes back, it's still unclear as to whether house speaker mike johnson, which by who, by the way, holds the key essentially two, this will even bring this to the floor for a vote, but that el, that the senate has passed, we can show
2:09 am
you the breakdown here, overwhelmingly tilted towards aid for ukraine's. so this extremely important and it's not just about the us of course, even though it's been by far the biggest backer of ukraine's military europe, struggling to actually allocate the commitments that it's made, the gap between when it's committed and where it's actually able to send is growing according to research, if the us is unable to pass that legislation, europe will have to step up even faster. very unclear at this point. if they're able to do that. so again, this really puts the wind in president putin's sales as he heads towards certain reelection next month for its fifth time all right. >> thanks so much. clare sebastian in london. >> we have more now on those >> vigils around the world for the late russian opposition leader alexey navalny, as michael holmes reports, authorities in russia responded with a heavy hand to the public tributes welcome back to >> remembrance, or a show of defiance clients
2:10 am
>> according to a russian >> human rights group russian police have detained hundreds of people across the country pretending vigils and rallies following the death of russian opposition figure alexey navalny his supporters laying flowers how is it makeshift memorials in cities for moscow to st. petersburg >> so let's take a quick, very important for me to take some action because i was very shocked by what happened and i understood the only thing i could do was come here today '40s are born. the public, not to hold unsanctioned gatherings after navalny's death but still, people are showing up mostly under the watchful eye of police selling saying putin is navalny's kila, getting some extra attention >> other >> gatherings of more tense with videos showing police scaffolding with protesters
2:11 am
carrying some away by their arms and legs and holding them into waiting police vans. one woman in yekaterinburg said she was stopped before she even got near one the morial site yes. >> no, i couldn't lay the flowers. i had to throw the flowers in front of them. the police gave me ten seconds to turn around and leave the. >> grief, spreading outside of russia as well with tributes and rallies for navalny held across europe. in london flowers and candles piled up outside the russian embassy. one former russian residents says, he's watched navalny's struggles with the russian government from afar and thinks he's death will continue to empower people >> despite the fact that t let's say, lost this battle as of now, i think that's in the end. it's kind of trying >> a message echoed by navalny's own spokesperson, who says the valmy who once led
2:12 am
mass anti-government protests as himself in russia wouldn't want people to stay silent >> well, we all know what to do. it was what alexey told all of us that we have to keep fighting and this is how this is what helps us to cope with what's going on michael holmes, cnn and joining me now is nigel gould-davis senior fellow for russia and eurasia at the >> international institute for strategic studies. and he also served in the u.k.'s foreign and commonwealth office where his roles included serving as head of the economics department in moscow and ambassador to belarus. thank you. you so much for being here with us. so i want to start with this. the fact that russian authorities refused to hand over navalny's body. what does that suggest to you? >> yes. refusing to hand it over in apparent violation of their own rules about when this has to be done clearly, they're
2:13 am
hiding something. what are they hiding? exactly? >> it may be that official version of his death it is not the real one. we can certainly have no confidence and it's there acetyl. so maybe the body would reveal marks of inhumane treatment of the horrific truth about how he really died it's also a sign i think of contempt for the family and for all who support and have sympathy for navalny. but they're behaving this way it may be too that they're trying to delay for as long as possible. the funeral that would be held for navalny, which would be a natural focal point proposition but clearly they're hiding something so as has been widely discussed now, the timing of his death seems critical here in relation to next month's elections in russia, how do you think navalny could have influenced those even from prison?
2:14 am
>> yes. i mean, to be clear, the outcome of the election in a system as controlled as russia is a forgone conclusion, putin will be deemed to have won the election and they are neither free nor fair. but what's remarkable, i think is the view of the authorities that even a cat two voice like navalny's, that could from prison still carry and make his unique talent as a communicator known to the wider community. how much of a threat that continued to be. so i don't think they wanted that voice getting out. mocking in his again, uniquely effective way, the process of the election. but i think another aspect of this is the kremlin's thinking about what would happen after the elections. there's a lot of speculation that putin, once the stuff of the elections out of the way might seek to
2:15 am
impose, a new mobilization of russian society to force a larger proportion as population to fight in his war of aggression against ukraine. we know that will be unpopular. it was unpopular when he did at last time, putin order that last time and september 22, navalny's voice would have been a very unwelcome part of the information space in russia. so i think for that reason to, they just wanted to kill him. and let's recall even in soviet times, even in soviet times after the death of styling, it was exceptionally rare for dissidents to actually be killed in prison. they were sent to prison far away in inhospitable conditions. they were kept there usually alive. so this killing of a captive voice, i think testifies to the brutality of vindictiveness, but also the insecurity of this regime, much resting.
2:16 am
>> so looking forward, the question now is how will the international community respond? but it seems as if almost all of the levers have been pressed in terms of sanctions as a response to the war in ukraine. so what other pressure points? are left here >> you're absolutely right. ultimately, the most important reaction at this point is the international one. because this killing of navalny was a signal not only to russian society, from the russian state but to the international community. so it's imperative that the respond effectively. i think there are two things that can be done quite quickly and without great difficulty. the first is for the united states and specifically for congress just to sort out this new aid bill for ukraine if the killing of navalny, as well as the russian seizure of the
2:17 am
ukrainian town of avdiivka. isn't enough to do that. it's hard to know what will that issue really has to get sorted out. it shouldn't be difficult. >> there are >> moral and strategic reasons let's for doing so, no excuse for not doing so. the second thing that should be done, this is for the eu, rather the united states it really needs to go ahead and bite the bullet of seizing russian central bank assets that have been frozen in european jurisdictions since russia invaded ukraine in february 2022. at that time, the collective decision was taken, okay, russia, you have the sovereign assets in our financial systems. we're going to freeze them. you can't get them back, the question ever since has been, what do we do with these things? they're just sitting there doing nothing. russia can't get them, but they're not being put to use. the obvious strategic solution is take that money, give it to
2:18 am
ukraine, help it in its war effort. most of that money lies in europe. the eu has been too timid so far in gras, thing. that opportunity, it's time for brussels to move. >> will see if either of those to come to pass. i'll have to leave it there. and gould-davis. thank you so much for being here with us really appreciate it. >> all right. still ahead. donald trump hits the campaign trail and lashes out at the legal system as he slapped with his latest multi-million dollar judgment judgment and nikki haley gets personal and campaign trail, how she is slamming donald trump, plus waterlogged parts of the golden state are getting ready for more rain and potential flooding in the coming days. want that story and more ahead, stay with sweating it says right here, oh spice everything kills be long-lasting sweat

2:31 am
as israel is planning for a ground invasion of rafah on the population there in gaza's southernmost city has ballooned to some 1.5 million people as palestinian seek refuge from the war now, israel's prime minister says, they need to move again, claiming there's a lot of space north of rafah for people to go meanwhile, israeli forces are launching strikes in rafah already and in central gaza, killing at least 81 people so far. >> all right. elliott gotkine joins me now from london. so elliot, as i said, the biden ministration threatened to veto a gaza cease-fire resolution at the urine security council. so what's been the reaction and what impact? to make this have on negotiations and possibly the worn camera, anything there's any great surprise that the us is saying that it would veto this resolution as is. it has vetoed previous un security resolutions that have called for a unit for not unilateral ceasefire, but for a ceasefire in the war between israel and hamas. and the main
2:32 am
reason is that it goes against the u.s.'s position, which is that but it supports israel's objective, if not the way that it's doing it, but certainly supports the objective and the goal of destroying hamas. and at the same time doesn't want to see hostage negotiations as poorly as they are going according to the qatari's does want to see those negotiations being torpedoed specifically the u.s.'s envoy to the united nations, saying, we believe the deal, this is the hostage deal that's been mooted, represents the best opportunity to reunite all hostages with their families and enabled a prolonged pause in fighting. adding that for that reason, the united states does not support action on this draft resolution jen should it come up for a vote as drafted, it will not be adopted. and the us, as i say, supporting israel's goal of destroying hamas. and it's interesting now that it seems to be on a different page for the categories. the categories saying that there should not be that a hostage deal shouldn't
2:33 am
be required in order for there to be a ceasefire. and that has ceasefire should happen even without one, of course, in the meantime, israel is also hoping that it's mooted ground operation in rafah will put further pressure on hamas to moderate its demands, which israel has derided as being delusional in terms of the quantity of palestinian prisoners that it wants freed in exchange for the release of the 100 hostages abducted as part of its mass it's a curve october the seventh, and also the severity of the sentences that some of those palestinian prisoners are serving. so israel hoping to put more pressure on hamas to moderate its demands. and the us also wanting to put more pressure on hamas to come to the table to do a deal that would see this six-week pause. in fighting come into effect and a hostage deal that sees the release of the 100 plus hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners taking place. and it feels at this resolution, if anything, would reduce the
2:34 am
pressure on hamas to do so. of course, the other thing to watch for here is the impact domestically, president biden coming under a lot of pressure from within his own democratic party and also from voters, particularly younger voters, arab american voters, who do not support the us has stance and perhaps they will be even less inclined to support biden in the wake of any vetoing of this resolution, kim. >> all right. elliott gotkine in london. thanks so much. so as elliot just mentioned, many israeli official say that hamas has demands for hostage deal or unreasonable. so on saturday alex marquardt spoke about that with gal hirsch, israel's coordinator for the captives and the missing >> what is your understanding right now of where the negotiations stand for a hostage deal? >> well we want to do very much and we know we need to pay prices hamas demands are disconnected from reality. delusional >> and we hope >> very much the day will come
2:35 am
much closer to the zone of potential agreement. >> prime minister it's now who has also called the hamas proposal delusional. what specifically about what they are asking for is just completely out of bounds for israel and electorally he bowled their response was far, far away from reality. >> and they know that. >> and then my concerns is whose the other side of negotiations, whom are we negotiating with? >> we wanted the deal very much. >> but in the other side, we needed >> to someone from that can deliver. >> are you implying that those hamas officials are not in touch with the hamas leaders who are actually on the ground and gaza, i will very much wants to see and such a proof can be, for example, show us that the medical support that was >> sent to our hostages has arrived to its destination. this is very important because it will show us that there is someone there that can really
2:36 am
deliver and release our hostages. >> are you willing to release a large number of palestinian prisoners, many of whom would have carried out attacks in israel, who have life sentences or are you willing to release them? >> we showed that we are ready to pay prices we show that we mean that. but we want to see that in the other side. the reason reliable address, someone that can release our hostages you can deliver >> hamas wants to see an end to the war. >> israel >> does not want to end this war because there is still work to be done. netanyahu says to dismantle hamas how do you close that gap in order to get these hostages home? >> well, we showed in the last deal we've made that we are ready to stop warfare doesn't, mean stopping permanently though. it doesn't mean stopping the war. but we are ready to start warfare >> that's a lot >> because breaking the momentum of maneuvering it's a big price. it's big price.
2:37 am
>> the other ticking clock is the potential offensive by israel into wrap up. this is something that the prime minister has talked do you believe that a deal can be agreed to before that offensive will refer his next of course because in rafah, they are many hostages and many, many tour groups actually, hamas is still there. >> so we >> do not want to cause collateral damage. rafah is many, many people there that hamas its use right now as human shields we are doing our best, everything we can, everything is possible to avoid collateral damage, but refer must be next because we must release the hostages. >> so standing here today how optimistic are you that that deal can be reached? >> they believe that hamas needs ceasefire i think that hamas wants much bigger humanitarian support own
2:38 am
people. i believe that a deal can be made because we are ready to pay prices but it must be closer to zone of potential agreement. right now, this is not the situation all right still ahead here on cnn newsroom, tech giants are joining forces to battle deep fake political content created with ai look at threats and how it can be stopped when we come back hi, please stay with us. >> we're here to get your side of the store. >> why do we keep ending up here? >> can't write this stuff. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper premieres tonight at nine on cnn. i have type two diabetes, but i'm managing well. it's little pill with the big story to tell i take once-daily jati each days was easy

>> let's care >> before we share. >> i'm lauren fox on capitol hill, and this is cnn tech giants say they're working together to take down the harmful artificial >> intelligence. deepfake's and politics around the world. >> in real show of >> unity companies like openai, google, microsoft, and tiktok we'll collaborate in detecting misleading content. more than a dozen tech firms pledged on friday to locate and counter deceptive election ai content
2:42 am
like political candidate deep fakes. the tech leaders also say they'll collaborate on educational campaign in for the public and they promise to be transparent with their efforts. >> right? >> now from boston via skype is noah john siracusa is a math sciences professor for bentley university in the author of the book, how algorithms create and prevent fake news thanks so much for being here with us this early. listen there have already been plenty of nefarious ai efforts to undermine the election. i've seen trump and biden the robo calls, for instance, i mean, describe what you've seen in what stood out to you so far. >> yeah. i think the robo call when is a really good example because i think one of the things that has stood out is there's a lot of attention on text, right? we've all played with chatgpt. and very recently, just the last couple of days, there's been a lot of attention on creating video. openai released this really cool looking tool that creates
2:43 am
these since that synthetic videos but i think the one we really have to worry about, i mean, it's all of those, but it's the audio that's can be so convincing. because when we watch a video, you can still see the glitches and the imperfections, but the audio is just it's so hard to tell what's real and what's fake. and we always use to hear hot mic, it's an ince with politicians and a lot of scandals came about that way. the now you can just create a hot mic incident that was totally fabricated and it's very convincing. >> yeah, that's right. you bring up with good point. we always think of these visual efforts, but ai can also be used to write letters to politicians around issues and potential bills, for instance, which are impossible to distinguish from letters from real constituents. i mean, the ways it can be used to wreak havoc seem almost infinite >> well, when you think about writing, i think the issue is, you could write anything by hand, right? so what's the difference if ai does it? the difference is the scale. you can mass produce millions of things. you can customize it instead of sending one email,
2:44 am
1,000 times her million times, you can send 1 million different emails. so it's not that any particular item is new that we couldn't do before. it's that there's gonna be so many different variations of things. and it's just a matter of time before one trick someone or goes viral so it's really the scale that scares us. >> that's exactly right. all right, so as i mentioned in the opening, the tech companies acknowledged the problem and they say they're going to do something about it. here's the ceo of openai i think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong. and we want to be vocal about that. we want to work with the government to prevent that from happening. but we tried to be very clear-eyed about what the downside cases and the work that we have to do they say they're going to do the work, but you've said that your skeptical about their incentives to act, especially in an election year. why is that >> well, because as he said, it's incentives, right? i mean, if you can make a lot of money and there's just so much money going into ai right now. so
2:45 am
that was sam walton. it's altman speaking and just recently he mentioned that he's trying the race 7 trillion for some ai ventures mean that's a huge fraction of the world. >> world's gdp. >> there's just so much money flowing into ai, so much hype. i think it's just impossible to resist the temptation. and a lot of corporations have to maximize shareholder revenue so it's not, we can't just trust that they're going to do the right thing out of the goodness of their heart. we have to really look at the cold-hard incentives and the bottom line is money. >> know, >> unfortunately true. so we've outlined how this could be a huge threat. could it also help? prevent disinformation and be used to make elections safer and more fair. >> it's going to do a lot of good things. i think there'll be a lot of progress in science. there'll be a lot of positive applications of ai for sure. when it comes to the election specifically, i don't see as many positives. i think they're it's more going to be we're gonna be playing a lot of deep the fence for a lot of threats just because ai is a
2:46 am
lot better at producing things than detecting things at the moment. that said we do detect a lot of bad content and fake things with ai, but just like when you play with chatgpt and it kinda makes things up ai is really good in the aggregate, but in any particular instance, it's kinda guessing and you can never really fully trust stets so if you just send it a video or try to deal with phishing attacks on emails. it's never really sure what it's dealing with. and that makes it harder to use for defense as opposed to offense >> all right. >> we don't have a lot of time, but so i'm going to try and get to questions into one. here we talk about ai regulations. efforts have been more more successful in europe than they have been here in the us. but what would actually help given the bad actors are states like russia, may be behind it and wouldn't adhere to any regulations. and then also for those of us consuming this stuff, what advice would you give us? the voters basically going into 2024? i mean, regulation is >> a great but very hard
2:47 am
question. i think where we're trying to figure that out in real time. nobody really knows the answer, but i think some basic principles like transparency. we don't know if we should ban certain ai technology, if it should be open sourced or closed source, these are hard things to figure out. >> but >> the more we know about what's going on, the more we're aware of the data that goes into these, how they work. i think that transparency goes a long way. it doesn't solve the problems, but it helps. as far as users, i do think a lot of it as just we have to revamp our media education. we have to be more aware of what can be true and what can't we to look for defects and ai products, look for images and videos that look funny. but i think unfortunately the, the best answers we just have to really go back to trusting institutions like journalism. when the media says something is fake, we have to really recognize that. that's probably true and not just spread things virally and think that everything's conspiracy. >> your advice, watch more cnn. i like it was will have to

the meso book.com basketballs all star weekend gone a new wrinkle this season with the first-ever nba wnba challenge. and it delivered the drama. cnn sports anchor andy scholes joins me live from indianapolis. so eddy, i was right about the eventual winner, but a lot of drama there. what was the atmosphere like leaving up to that moment? >> kim, i'd say it's all one really could talk about here in indianapolis yesterday, who was going to win this first of its kind competition between steph curry and sabrina ionescu. they decided that this was going to be a great idea. weeks ago. and i tell you what it's certainly lived up to the hype. so the idea came about because brianna, just an incredible formats at the wnba all-star game over this summer, she scored 37 points in one round,
2:53 am
which was a record. and she would end up going first last night here in indianapolis and she came out on fire. she cleared the first rack she would go on to finish with a great score of 26. but she was going up against the best shooter of all time and steph curry and step would get hot late in this competition, end up winning 29 to 26 and boats saying afterwards the competition was just a great success. and i asked steph if he was feeling the pressure after sabrina's great round >> it added a lot of pressure for sure. and you just wanted to get it off till good are settle in. thankfully i made a maid enough to get over to top, but that was perfect. the way great entertainment, great shoot. >> and i think it's going to show a lot of young kids out there, a lot of people who might have not believed or even watched women's sports that were able to go out there and put on a show. and so it was really exciting to finally be
2:54 am
able to do this. and like steph said, it happened perfectly now, the dunk contest 25-year-old mac mcclung, who's playing in the g-league right >> now, trying to repeat as champion and he wants again put on a show, mac jumping over shaq, who was wearing max high school jersey to win the contest, beating jaylen brown in the finals he's the fifth back-to-back champ ever, and i caught up with mac on the court right afterwards >> i may. how does it feel to be back-to-back slam dunk champion man, it's incredible. really feel like i could've done a lot better job ahead. some downside an execute, right? but i'm super grateful to be right here and compete against these incredible dunk. >> he jumped over shaq to win it. every how nervous you gotta be to jump over you made as massive as man. >> he looked at me and said, don't ms this doug, i was like, i can't ms it now, he told me not to ms in my high school jersey on which was really cool him to do that. yeah, some >> people say, you know anyone could win one dunk competition.
2:55 am
you now have one to do. you think that really cements yourself is one of the best dumfries of all time >> i don't know really. i don't think that's for me to, judge. i just kinda you go with the flow and have phone and i'll do it because i love it >> yeah. and this by another great performance. yeah, you've got to tell mack was a little disappointed in himself, but back-to-back champs, he should be quite proud. and as for the normal three point competition, it was dame time. once again, damian lillard coming through through in the collage, making his final shot to beat trae young in the finals, he's the first back-to-back champion, the three-point contest since jason component back in 2008 and a home crowd here in indianapolis getting plenty to cheer about as the indiana pacers team have tyrese haliburton benedict matter and and miles turner, they ended up winning the skills competition. so indianapolis certainly proud of their pacers. i'm kim, the all-star game tonight, right here on this court. it's going back to its root. it's going to be the eastern conference versus the western conference.
