5:00 pm
that were hurt with the staff that are currently working. and frankly with policymakers in the government. and they can deal with us insight and they can take care of this problem with external tools well, i just don't see that this needs to be publicly debated issue anymore. they can solve this and they can fix it. >> adam, thank you very much, christo. thank you very much. i appreciate both of you taking the time and adam for sharing your story. and, finally tonight, trump's suppose net worth, taking a massive tumble upstairs of his truth, social are now publicly trading well, guess what? they came out. the company and they said that they lost 58 million and only had $4 million in revenue in 2023 those are painful revelations and that immediately crushed the evaluation of the stock costing trump 1 billion on paper. the losses in fact, so severe that the companies own accountants are sounding the alarm that it could implode, which is why experts think the company is multibillion-dollar valuation defies logic and heard that well, before it even started listing, to be honest
5:01 pm
even with the cash infusion of 300 million after going public, company is not out of the woods. >> it >> is obviously hemorrhaging users as well. thanks so much for joining us. it's time now for derson tonight are three, 60 just moments ago, the judge in the former >> president's new york hush money trial expands the gag order on him in the wake of repeated online attacks by trump on his daughter also tonight, all we're learning about the attempt to breach the fbi office in atlanta, who authorities say was behind it and whether this may have been someone's attempt to political violence and later my conversation with in folding along with author column mckinnon and sting about diane son, jim foley, a journalist, kidnapped and murdered by isis. his remarkable legacy. what it was like to speak face-to-face with one of the men who murdered her son good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin with breaking news. the judge has expanded the gag order that he imposed on the former president last week. the move follows repeated online attacks
5:02 pm
against the judge and his daughter, including by name, like this one. we blacked it out here because she has no role in the case and it's not a public figure seen as kara scannell is here with the tails from the judge's rulings is the hush money case in new york. what's happened? >> yes. so the prosecutors had asked for a gag order to be expanded in this case because of those comments that you just highlighted in the judge just moments ago, issued his order saying that he would extend the gag order which had prevented trump from making comments about any potential a witnesses, any prosecutors, court staff in the jury. he's now extending it to include family members of the judge and the district attorney, alvin bragg. alvin bragg is not covered by the gag order, so trump can talk about him if he wants. in this order, the judge rights the court now a men's the march 26 order to include the family members of the court and the district attorney for any of your county. this decision in order is equally narrowly tailored and in no way prevents defendant from responding to alleged political attacks, but does address
5:03 pm
defendants recent speech. he also goes on to say that this isn't a case of david and goliath, and that the roles are no longer in play as demonstrated by the singular power of trump's words have on countless others. he said that there is, he finds that there is a threat to the integrity of judicial proceedings and says, the threat is very real. now, trump is not allowed to make statements about the judge's family, so he could still make statements attacking the judge and the district attorney, just not family members. >> that's right. he's extending it to include them within this becomes as you pointed out, the judge's daughter or it's not part of this case trump's lawyers had argued against expansion of the gag order, saying that the reason why trump is making these statements is because they want the judge to recuse himself from the case, believing that he is biased against trump, they previously made that motion. the judge rejected it. at the time was made based on the judge's small-dollar donations to democrats. they've said in their filing today, trump's side that they intend to make another motion for the judge recuse himself and you'll also
5:04 pm
have some reporting about expected witnesses at this trial. >> yes. so it's the usual suspects you'd expect all the well-known people that have been part of this case, stormy daniel's is expected to testify. michael cohen, hope hicks, and david who is the ceo of the company that published national enquirer this is all part of the prosecutors effort to present this narrative to the jury that trump and others were scrambling around the election after the access hollywood tape came out, he was in touch with those on his campaign because they were afraid of how a new allegation like stormy daniels would potentially influence female voters. so this was all just days before the 2016 election. and that's part of the prosecution's theory why they made the payment and then why they were covering it up and so as the theory of the case is, this is the falsifying business records birds to commit or conceal and other crime. and that crime under the theory is to influence the election. >> so kara stay with us. i want to bring in legal analyst joey jackson, also bestselling
5:05 pm
author and former federal prosecutor, geoff toobin. jeff, you surprised by any of this? you know, the >> technical legal term for this is whac-a-mole they he trump is trying to skirt around all of these issues on the gag order. the family members were not covered under the previous one. rational, person would think you don't attack the family members, but you want this gag or does he think it helps him politically to say, i'm being gagged? yeah, i can i think i mean, this whole defense is a political defense as much as it's, it's a legal defense that's why he goes to all the hearings. he doesn't have to go to the hearings. this idea that he's a martyr, that he is being the victim of a witch-hunt that is part of his campaign >> and >> now being gagged is another way that he is saying, i am a victim here, not a perpetrator >> and the trump filing basically says, well, if the judge had recused himself than
5:06 pm
trump wouldn't have to have had to go after his daughter >> listen >> i'm not sure about that reasoning and logic, but what i am sure bad is that you have to have an integrity two are proceeding, but it's beyond integrity. it's about safety and security and the reality is, is that words have consequences, particularly when you have a bully pulpit like that, not president now. all right. but was proud president has significant followers and i think there's nothing wrong legally constitutionally, and practically with an order that ensures that integrity for the safety of others. last point we talk about first amendment, first amendment. well, you know, you can't yell fire in a movie theater, right? or anywhere else, right? where it could impair other people's safety. you can't if the people as trump about that. he owes a lot of money about that because you're impairing other people's rights. and so i think an order that's balanced to protect constitutional freedoms of speech. but at the same time, protect other people is the right thing. i think judge juan machine has done and they're also this is about lives on the line people are in danger. that that's why
5:07 pm
caitlin got that interview, that remarkable interview with judge reggie walton last week. >> because >> judges are worried about the integrity of the judicial system when the people involved are gag orders or limit, i mean, everybody's using the term gag order, but i mean, that implies he can't say what he's feeling. this is about witnesses. it's about jurors. now it's about the judge's daughter, right and judges have the obligation to do two things. they have to allow the first amendment rights of people, but they also have to protect the integrity of the trial and you can't have the integrity pretty of a trial. if witnesses think they are going to be killed because of something that is said in the news media that's what the judge is trying to balance here. and i think allowing attacks on the judge allowing attacks on the da, but not their families does strike a reasonable and appropriate balance. >> so trump's lawyers already talked about appealing where
5:08 pm
would they appeal this too? >> they would appeal it to the first department in new york it's probably not something that would get resolved before the trial starts, although this gag order will be in place throughout the trial because there are witnesses, there are jurors that the da's office and the judge is looking to try to protect from trump making these public statements, putting attention and shining the spotlight on them as this case plays out, which is going to go for two months. >> how long do you think this trial will go on for? yeah. i mean, it would surprise me. qarrah, if it were that long, you know, best. right. you there all the time. but look, the bottom line is that the judge has to ensure the prosecution has to put on their case, which would allow for numerous records to go in to determine whether or not they were falsification of those records. they have to establish their proof. and then we'll see what cross examinations look like. and then of course, the defense has an opportunity to put on witnesses if they choose to under no obligation that that witness list is a lot of witnesses they don't need to call all those witnesses. they
5:09 pm
are making a decision. it appears that they want to tell the full story of trump's relationship with the national enquirer. >> that's not necessary. what this case is, the technical requirement is just approve that the documents that trump filed with the government were false. there's a thing prosecutors say sometimes thin to win, like only prove what you need to prove they are not going thin to win if in fact they call all those witnesses. >> this is now initially this was referred to as the hush money case. alvin bragg has now tried to sort of position and more as hush money for the result being election fearing that that is going to be the big theme of the prosecution, which is this is not about porn, it is not about extra-marital affairs. it is about getting news away from the voters on the eve of the 2016 election. that's the theory. will the prosecution of the fence is certainly going to try to turn it into this is
5:10 pm
just a circus. this is just attacks on donald trump's and they have to do that, right, jeff? not the defense, but certainly you have to establish the election interference to get to the felony. right. and so i think that's what will hear about it into your other point. there's often this huge witness list, but then to what extent do witnesses become what we call cumulative? they're all going to say the same thing. so you pare it down, but you have to give the defense notice of the witnesses so that they can adequately prepared even though we see all those witnesses, they may not all wrapped solu right. >> what happens if trump actually violates this gag order? and we've talked about this endlessly. >> well, he it happened in the civil case and he was fined i think it was $10,000 once and then something that you remember thousand total 15,000 total fines initially ultimately, judges can protect a can punish contempt by locking someone up. i don't think that's going to happen, but initially finds is what is, what is the usual remedy for contempt. >> but if it doesn't happen why do we have a gag order? in other words absolutely. the
5:11 pm
judge has a number of options and it could be a fine, but you have to speak in the language that's someone understands clearly the economic language is not being understood because of the fines. will you have the courage, quite frankly, to enforce the order to what we call put them in. and if you put him in, maybe that in terms of a violation of liberty politically, it'd be great for him, but practically you have to give it teeth if you don't give it teeth, that is the gag order why impose one in the first instant care is it your understanding that >> is actually going to go to this trial, this whole time? >> yeah. i mean, i'm one of the very first appearance is the judge told trump that he expects him to be he at every one of the days of the trial and that if he doesn't want to come, he needs to get a waiver to do so. the judge warning him we will move forward without you. so if he's not there, the evidence is still gonna go on. there's still going to bring their case and trump's so that he understood that, but the judge making it clear he wants some there. so >> maybe he'll be campaigning only on >> wednesdays because the judge sits monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, and he deals with other
5:12 pm
matters. so trump will be out on the campaign trail just wednesday, but this is the campaign trail, right? he'll be making a statement after every single appearance about the system. it's rigged that cetera >> so people will be covering is, it is, it is history being absolutely and look how much attention can he gets and he crowds out everything else you would think being a criminal defendant isn't the best thing, but donald trump has rewritten a lot of political rules of tube and joe jackson. thank you. kara scannell, always. thank you. coming up next. all we are learning about the attempted breach of the fbi's atlanta field office. the drivers now in custody, would investigators are looking at? and later a rare public appearance on easter weekend by britain's king charles. the latest. and what lies ahead for the royal family >> but kaitlan collins tonight at nine >> let's get started >> where's your mask? >> i really tried sleeping with it. everybody, but i'm done struggling. now i sleep with inspire inspire, inspires of

5:17 pm
>> initially, he was >> supposed to post them on a $464 million he asked for a reduction. we're not to have to post it at all. appeals court said that he could post one the 75, which is less than half, and he had until thursday to do it. so he's done it today, signed it today. so this is now posted that is satisfied. so it means that the new york attorney general's office is not going to move forward to try to seize any of trump's acids with jerry. >> good news for donald trump to do this. if he had not been able to post this bond, that meant that the state of new york could start seizing his property now, this situation is frozen for the duration at least of the appeal to the appellate division. first department, which is a notoriously slow chord so i think this means months of no action in this case against his properties >> good news. the whole idea of of a fee like this, it's not supposed to be punitive. so i mean, that was one of the arguments that was made of well, it should be lowered
5:18 pm
because it's not supposed to be punishing him. in order to be able to appeal. >> no, it's not punishing him, but at the same time, there was a judicial judgment that was made. the judgment was in the amount of almost a half $1 billion. and you have an obligation to satisfy that. there was a trial that went forward. they were proof and evidence that were presented in the judge's decision. he parsed every single witness assess the credibility of the witness, talked about how the narrative of that witness further, the cause of the attorney general, what am i saying? i'm saying that there was adjudication of liability after a trial and as a result of that, the system provides for you to post a bond in the amount that was against you. so we're used >> dropped it to 1705. >> you know what? i was not overly surprised and i think it's good for the judicial system. and here's why i say that. you have a president repeatedly railing about everyone against him and everything's against me. and i think the system looked at it and said, look, let's be fair, let's be reasonable. let's give him an opportunity to have his appeal on the merits while we stop this clock of continual interests interests accruing,
5:19 pm
accruing, accruing. and that's what this does. the appeal bond allows everything to be stayed. he can have that is mr. trump is appeal on the merits and it's a system that's inviting him to give meritorious arguments as to why he should prevail, even though we lost the new york state attorney general case. and if he does, it will be reversed. and if he doesn't, it'll go as is and that hundred 70 5 million will revert back to the half $1 billion >> maybe. i mean, the state of >> the state of new york's argument is, look, we won this case. we should not have to have to chase him for the money later on if it's affirmed on appeal as most cases are affirmed on appeal, if this there's affirmed on appeal, the state of new york will take that hundred $75 million. but especially knowing how donald trump operates, good luck, trying to get the other $300 million or whatever it's going to be because he is notoriously difficult to pin down the argument that the state of new york made was finding if you
5:20 pm
want to appeal put up the money because we don't want to have to chase you after we win. the appeal as we expect, we know any details of what was put up for this. >> well, he has to supply cash in order to back the bond and his lawyers have said he has the money to do that. this doesn't say specifically the breakdown if it fits it's mostly cash or if includes some stock. it wouldn't be the new stock for the company that he just got because that's locked up for six months. but it doesn't break it down specifically. but part of trump's argument about the harm that you were referencing was that if he was forced to sell a property to raise the cash to post a bond, and then he were to prevail or city appeals court knocked down the judgment. he wouldn't be able to get that property back. so the appeals court gave him this lifeline of saying you don't have to sell a property if you can with 1205 and its lawyers view that as victory. >> all right. i think it's now turn to you guys didn't do enjoy jackson, kara scannell. thanks very much. moving on and still more questions and
5:21 pm
answers tonight about the attempted breach of the you guys >> former new york police department deputy commissioner what are your sources telling you about what happened >> well, they'd been >> looking into this >> individual since this happened >> at >> 12:25, trying to figure out >> what >> his motive was >> to crash in and >> try and get through that >> barrier. and what we're finding thing is someone who's a former navy man, who's been working for the last six years at an insurance company in south carolina somebody who is social media so far is very non-controversial, non-political, family-oriented. so it's raising as many questions as it's answering >> for fbi agents. obviously, when something like this
5:22 pm
happens, are they always on alert given recent history? >> well, yeah. and i mean, you look at the cincinnati case you just mentioned there was a guy with an ar 15 who tried to breach the security at the cincinnati fbi i office, who ended up being killed by state police and the fbi in a shootout hours later. so they take this very seriously. it's why those barriers are there. it's why the double barriers are there. so if you get past one, you don't get passed another. but those initial moments once a car or rams into that barrier anderson, your heart is thumping as you approach that car, right? there's a security booth not far away and you're wondering, is this an active shooter who's about to pop out with an ar 15. is it like cincinnati? is this whole car and massive car bomb? what's about to happen, but you have to keep going and when they pulled this man out of the car, he did not say one single word. so the gut right now on the part of the people who are looking into it and my own is this is probably an individual who's going
5:23 pm
through a difficult mental episode probably not trying to attack the fbi. may be trying to get in to tell them something that's so far is only in his mind, but it certainly set off alarm bells and it certainly reminded 55 other field offices that security is a top priority especially with talk about weapon of the fbi, which hans and all the other threat threats that are increasing to fbi agents, federal process scooters and judges. >> what might somebody be charged with if i mean, if it is a mental health episode, what happens? >> well, on the federal side, destruction of government property, attempted to trespass on federal line on the local side, it's going to be reckless endangerment, but those are going to be holding charges really anderson, what they're going to first do is get through the evaluation of this individual with the medical professionals, figure out what's really going on with him, talk to family and friends, and then tried to get him to care. >> or miller. thanks very much. appreciate it coming up next the deadly are in syria aiding

south door this is the big game >> time came through that do >> is the destruction and serious capital after ron says its console was targeted in a deli airstrike, both iran and syria, or blaming israel for the attack. what israel is saying or not saying in a moment, according to iran, seven revolutionary guard officials were killed, including two senior their commanders, seen as into catia, bertrand joins us now with more, what more do we know about who and what was targeted >> will understand the iranians are placing the blame for this strikes squarely on the israelis. they're saying that it was six missiles fire from an israeli war plane that brought down this console it in damascus. and they're saying that they are going to take
5:29 pm
decisive revenge, essentially, they are calling this unacceptable. and of course, as you said, seven at least officials from the islamic revolutionary guard corps were killed, including two very senior commanders and the irgc. israel iran, vowing to take revenge here, but israel neither confirming nor denying that they were behind this strike dead, telling cnn earlier today, according to a spokesperson, that this consulted was not a consulate at all. and according to their intelligence, they do believe that it was actually being used by the irgc and was being portrayed globally as a consulate when in fact it was being used for military purposes. so we're not getting really any confirmation from these rallies that this it was them. but the iranians, of course, placing the blame squarely on the israelis and saying that they are going to take some kind of retaliatory measures, which is of course something that us does not want to see. they don't want to see this escalate beyond the war between israel and hamas in gaza. so they're reaching out to allies and partners in the region now, trying to get a sense of what happened here, but clearly it's just not bode
5:30 pm
well, for the tensions between israel and iran, given that if israel did do this, then that would have been an attack that iran, csis, and attack on its sovereign territory. anderson. >> meanwhile, the us is close to proving a deal to sell fighter jets to israel. what more do we know about that? >> we're learning that the administration is expected to greenlight and 18 billion sale of fft and fighter jets to israel. and it comes, of course, at a very delicate moment in the relationship with israel where the weapons sales that the us is greenlighting to the israelis are really under a microscope as administered as a lawmakers are urging the administration to condition aid to israel because of the number of civilians that have been killed in gaza as they tried to get israel to rein in their operations in gaza, these weapons sales have really been under scrutiny, but we're learning, but the administration is preparing to approve the sale. it does have to be notified to congress and they will have 30 days to basically rejected if they are able to come up with a joint resolution, but that's a very high bar and it seems unlikely
5:31 pm
at this point that that is actually going to be blocked and the sale would send weapons and fighter jets to israel within about three to four years. but of course, it is the symbolism and it is the fact that the administration is agreeing to approve the sale that many people are likely to have a big issue with the split especially on the hill, anderson, tasha bertrand, thanks very joining us now with david sanger, white house and national security correspondent for the new york times. his latest book is out april 19. the titltle is new cold war's, china's rise, russia's invasion, and america struggled to defend the west. so first of all, what is your assessment of this strike? >> well, three interesting things about it. first, the iranians say that this was an embassy property. >> if it >> truly was it's akin to hitting iranian territory and that's something the us has been trying to see is considered sovereign territory, right? even a number is a foreign embassy in the united states is considered usually to be on the property of the foreign country so the iranians could make the case that you struck iranian territory. the
5:32 pm
second thing is there's been a covert war that's gone on for a long time between the israelis and the iranians. you've seen nuclear scientists who were killed and bombings you've seen attacks on facilities. >> this, there's >> nothing covert about this. you saw the scope of that destruction this is where the war turns over. and that's where countries feel like they have to show they're not going to be embarrassed that they will respond. >> the >> third really interesting element of it i think though, is that the iranians have to wonder how did they know that so many commanders from the quds force, the elite group of the iranian military, were gathered in one place. there's either a human spy or there was some kind of intercept. but it was remarkable elegance that they could kill six of these commanders, seven of these commanders, and one in the same way that there has been remarkable intelligence that allowed whomever to kill
5:33 pm
nuclear scientists in iran. >> that's right. and as they were commuting to work and so forth. so it shakes the iranians. it makes them begin to look for spies within mit. so in addition to the actual event, what you're getting is sort of a psychological warfare that were so plugged into you that we can get at it. and that's of course it's been the key whenever the us and iran together have gone after an iranian nuclear facility, of course, remember it was president trump who ordered the killing of the senior commander of the quds force, general soleimani, back in 2020, iran had said that they were going to respond after the killing of soleimani. what sort of response did they end up? >> they did some response, but nothing anywhere near what we had expected that they would. here's their problem. if you're the iranians, you're thinking, am i falling into
5:34 pm
prime minister netanyahu's trap here, that netanyahu has many political reasons to want to see this war expand a bit to the north, make him deal with the totality of israel's adversaries at one time, you'll remember that early in the war, the united states had to talk the israelis down from opening a second front in the north. so you have plenty to do in gaza as don't spread your resources. netanyahu has always been itching to go deal with his belie in the north and there's plenty of domestic concerns. i mean, he has about his political survival and israel. i mean, he claims that most israelis are behind his actions in gaza but we feel look at public opinion polling. they don't necessarily, i mean, they may be back in the war. they're not necessarily backing him >> that's right. and you saw the size of those protests in israel over the weekend out on the streets. what that tells you is that enough time has
5:35 pm

5:42 pm
>> dana about your decision to tell this story, to tell jim store. >> well, i've always wanted to tell jim story. i just was not able to myself. i really needed a brilliant author who could hear it and give it the form so that others might enter it and i really feel it's a story of of loss and grief that we all go through. but also of the threat of the targeting of americans internationally that we went through and plagues our national security today. so to me, there are many reasons i really wanted to get out there. so thanks to call them and sting ntu. >> you were given the opportunity to actually speak to one of the isis members who was involved in the murder of your son and you chose to sit down with them? >> sure. >> yeah. >> you're right in the book, you said it was what jim would have done to rescue something

5:44 pm
tortured gyms. stephen peter cassock and many others alexander chose to plead guilty to all those charges. and offered to meet with victims. so there was an odd openness and him >> what was it like for you to be in that room to witness that? >> credible we walked into this big echoey room in the center of a courthouse in virginia. there were prosecutors, they're defense people, fbi agents, court clerks, dianne walked across the room, sat down at this table in front of her. is alexander coty, who's killed her son he's wearing shackles on his ankles and he's in a prison jumpsuit. and she says, hi alexander it is a pleasure to meet you and out of that moment everything dissolved and everything became about diane and him and to meet was mythic. i mean, to have somebody go in and meet the killer of her son, add to talk about faith then to
5:45 pm
talk about courage, and to talk about forgiveness and also to talk about violence and all those things that operated between them. it was one of the most extraordinary moments of my life and i saw such moral courage, which is what diane learned from her son, jim, because he talked about moral i want to read just a passage that i think this is pitch 30 in page 39, i think these are like the sum of the two best pages i've i've ever >> read in a book. and you're talking about how you said it will she knows be almost impossible to tell others, her family, her friends about this moment. hard to believe that the man who tortured her son the sobbing no more than four feet in front of her. hard to explain that it is most likely not an act. hard to illustrate how she's containing her emotions, hard to judge if he is exploiting the moment, even harder to explain that is not just the story of a one-year-old child taken from the rubble or father crying in a documentary or anonymous drone strike, or a tortured songs in our journey across a
5:46 pm
mountain or screed of hatred or tower coming down, or city filled suddenly with poison gas or scorched earth, or peddling of fear, or three young children front of a camera in a refugee camp, or man who ventured out from new hampshire, or soldier who guided or remote drone or politician sitting in a suddenly small off because or a woman in east london edging her fingers along the photograph or six-year-old wondering about his uncle or chain hanging in air of a basement and abu ghraib or blow of a steel pipe against the bottom of a pair of feet and rafah or the thought of a fist and the kidneys are murdered messenger or the in candid prayers, the way it is all knitted together from wisconsin to london, to asking us to new hampshire, to tripoli, to virginia. all these wild and braided things somehow held together and not by language. there is no word for it that she knows that's incredible >> well, was it was an incredible story to inhabit
5:47 pm
when i first stepped into it when we stepped into that room, i knew there was a story here for the ages that within that moment, we will be able to the capture all those are the moments because like >> dance it, it's sad, it's sad for >> alexander. it's sad for all the people in damascus. it's sad that jim is not here. there's so such a an amazing coffee one of sadness around this. and yet she's decides that she's going to take something from this not only to keep her son alive, but to change the whole landscape of how we think about hostages and wrongfully detained people over the next few years, that takes courage, the courage of a mother, but also the courage of a courageous citizen as well. so for me, the story was just expensive stinging. >> how did you get involved with this? >> well, i was asked by the composer of the documentary about about jim's life. if i would write a song for the end
5:48 pm
and i watched the documentary was totally devastated by it. and i said, i simply cannot write a song. it's, there's nothing that appropriate. i mean, how could i possibly do that then i went home and i tried to put myself in gyms place. so in the membrane of his family's place, what what would be a ritual that the family could go through? they would bring them together somehow and i had this idea of a table being set for an evening meal. and jim being late, but an empty chair being there, addressing the empty chair and somehow jim enters that family situation completely in my imagination. but it seemed to do the trick and the fact that i'm here with diane and column it did something but i'm very proud to it's a hard song to sing especially with diane, but i'm glad to be part of the story. >> i mean, your person is

5:50 pm
what do you hope comes out of this? >> i think i'd love to see people recognize that the possible actually exists within the supposedly impossible. i mean, diana's is a woman who lives in new hampshire and in an ordinary house and was a nurse practitioner. and it's awful thing happened and she could have retreated and she decided, no, i'm going to take the world on undergoing a change things for other people. that's sort of faith is is extraordinary and the fact that we can actually change changed the world and not refuse to not become cynical and refused to hope. i think there's a daring this there that i want people to see a risk to embarrassment or risk to do all sorts of things and to tell your story is an an important part of all of this. i think world is held together with stories and storytellers. and one of the beautiful things is that jim, jim story, even though he's

invited in by staff to get a closer look. it was a surprise because we were told that doctors had advised charles not to interact with large groups in case it compromised his immunity that advice appears to have changed after a church service and the chapel in windsor castle, an even bigger surprise when he came out and shook hands, confidence enough not to wear gloves, though queen camilla was spotted with a bottle of hand sanitizer a royal source told cnn the king's appearance could be seen as an encouraging sign of how his treatment for cancer was progressing never give were ld the rd ahead oks positive >> that encouging to see that happen in saying suggests the patient is tolerating their treatments. well, they're you know, they're actively under treatment or wtever ase that they're and they're recovering, the're tolerating and getting through those treatments.

school. at the moment. i think the next big challenge probably is friday. this big netflix movie it's many people people will remember the interview is going to remind everyone of that. it's going to open up a new audience and it's not just the associations with epstein you're going to see a lot of very realistic behind the scenes footage as well, showing how frankly out of touch prince andrew was unempathetic towards that genes victims, and these are the values that william and charles has been trying to move away from. so i think that's going to blow up again. it's gonna be a problem. you probably going to see a lot of it on social media. and we're not going to hear much from this lot about it. i don't think but it's not working royal. yeah. max foster. thanks very much. that's it for us. the news continues to source, but kitten collins starts now seeing them on state from the source tonight,
