fitness, but by didn't made a number of blunders. most strikingly, when he welcomed ukrainian president flooded mister lensky to the states to. and now i want to hand it over to the president ukraine, who has as much courage as he has a determination based gentleman, president, president booth present list. i'm so focused on the boot and we've got to worry about it anyway. it's present, i'm bet you are helpful. what concerns do you have about vice president harris's ability to be donald trump? if she were at the top of the ticket? look, i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president. i think she was not qualified to be present. and following the advice of my commander in chief, my, my, my, of the chief of staff in the military as well as the sector defense and our intelligence people. would you be able to use benjamin alvaros group?

i has more now on the reaction to joy biden's latest available sleep ops. the pressure is very big and so those were not sure if a president by and should remain democratic candidate of course of these a 2 slips will not help them. will probably help him reinforce their idea that he should step aside because the 1st slip where he mistakenly referred to the volume is, lindsey is present. putting happened even before this highly anticipated and longer a press conference. this is own team called a big boy press conference and with this 2nd level, who referred it to vice president campbell, a higher is, is vice president trump happened when he said that he picked true because he believed that she could beat trump. it was a lengthy press conference or president biden spoke about one of his favorite topics. you can say that's foreign policy, but the question of course remains, if this is a topic where he will win undecided voters and also the democrats awaited some of
11:04 am
them for after this need to summit to be over to call them president. but to step aside from this 2020 full presidential race and immediately as soon as this press conference ended, the top democrats and the house intelligence committee and several others that just that. so biden's campaign has been, as you said, on the ropes, and for 2 weeks since the present by this poor debate a performance, we can expect that calls it for him to end. this campaign will also continue growing bite and says he's still going to jump to finish. that's of the cost to get re elected. what's his campaign going to look like from here on there will be several trips. it will be in michigan. you also will be in texas next trips already and coming in the campaign says that it will continue. that will be more trips coming up. but of course the pressure it will continue. is it present go by and says i want to continue. i want to finish this job. that's the correspondent opinion of all there is group in washington. thanks a lot, then you mean,
11:05 am
or a russian plot to assassinate the boss of a gym and weapons manufacturer was stopped earlier this year. thanks to us intelligence, according to cnn, the broad cost is, is um, in proper to go to the chief executive of alignment. i was among the defense industry executives across europe targeted by the kremlin us intelligent services, passed the details of the plan to jem and we'll talk, he's pop out of go has been a high profile as opposed to of ukraine's war effort. and his company has produced artillery shells and military vehicles for keith. political correspondent, matthew moore. if you're info, then he has more details now on the story. well, this is really an extraordinary story and the allegations come from information from 5 us and one west on official one. according to then russia has been planning to assassinate a number of defense industry bosses across europe. the most mature report was that was targeted. i mean, pop back, got the both of line, montage avenue,
11:06 am
biggest weapons manufacturer, unpopular got partly in recent months, has really had a, a, a security detail which is, which is like that of, of, of the federal minister here in germany. and what we, what we've been told, what we understand from, from media reports cnn, is that the american authorities identified this plot and said it was the most mature of all these plots. and they told you i'm an authority who are able to intervene in good time unless the company is really crucial to get you to ukraine's war effort. they've just opened up a joint venture to repair and build tanks and ukraine. they are the one of the biggest producers of an artillery to artillery munitions and ukraine. and we are trying to tell yesterday, if you could give us a call in the said the tunnel coleman on security measures that said that they are in contact with the security services here in gemini on a routine basis. matthew, how have jem and officials reacted to all this as officials do don't like to give
11:07 am
a running commentary on, on things like best. but german chancellor schultz was asked about this yesterday in washington the need to someone and he said he wouldn't go into detail. but he did say cool, this is the order of the d. and he went on to see we knew about various fritz threats from russian activities and are watching them very carefully. the foreign minister and a bad bulk also said the shows that your opinions must protect ourselves on know who be now eve. for months really, jem and leaders and security officials have been warning about russia's hybrid warfare in recent weeks and months. we've seen some of that come to, well evidence. i feel like of some of that coming to fruition. and yesterday, that the boss of me to insult and like said, that's what he does fit into a potter and that we're seeing that russia is targeting european europe and i kind of sabotage attempts. and so basically they're saying that this is proof of what we've been wanting about for months. that europe really needs to wake up and, and, and, and what closer together and on our security basis to,
11:08 am
to prevent attacks of this nature i can hold a to finland now where the pollen meant to say to a virus on a bill, granting border guards, the power to turn back asylum sake is coming from russia. it is expected to pos as both the ruling, rocketing convolution, and many opposition. lawmakers backing it. the government has said that the bill is vital to stop future arrivals despite the little being at all its read finland's international human rights commitments of finland, so called a deep rotation law. let's border guards and migraines back to russia without the chance to claim asylum. it can be and acted for a temporary period based on what the finish government says is most goes instrumental ization of migration. it's not question of asylum, it's question of our security. the finished government itself acknowledges the new law conflicts with the european union international laws which ensure the right for those in need to ask for protection and all 18 legal experts. the finished
11:09 am
parliament consulted advise that it clashes with finland's own constitution, which led to the addition of the right to appeal within one month. but some parliamentarians, even from parties in the government coalition argue this is still unacceptable. well, at least actually, i am very concerned that convince opportunities to demand compliance with international human rights treaties from other countries will be decisively weekend . but most finish lawmakers believe is a good is difficult compromise. that may also allow reopening feelings border with russia closed since last year over the migrant issue. if the continuation of the current situation is definitely a worse option, almost 2 thirds of been her citizens and a recent poll supported the deportation law. it's the turn of finish, not enough between security and the values of democracy, of human rights at the same time. i think a lot of things feel that we need to be strong against russia and we need to show them that they can target this in this way. and this law will be one way of trying to determine that type of actions from happen. the use,
11:10 am
newly approved migration packed allows temporary border closure unlimited asylum procedures with a members deep believes migrants are being instrumental lives, but opponents say the finish law blocking applications goes too far. as somebody expresses the wish to apply for international protection, they have to have access to and sign a procedure. and that's the key element that is being removed by these meshes. so in not was but that there isn't all this breach of a, you know, but anyone hoping to see the european commission take finland to court over the new measures may be disappointed. in april 1, commission, president ursula of underlying visited the border to check out the situation. she agreed with the finish government that the kremlin was using these people to try to destabilize the country. she sent you money and border guards to help helsinki deal with it. this is not just about the security of finland, but it is about the security of the european union. but catherine willard says this
11:11 am
type of response allows russia to exploit border state of panic and creating more in security where the better way to manage the situation with to be, have a calm and mileage approach to refugees taking protection. i'm not, removes the power from these different states to try to manipulate people in order to gain advantage of a european countries. instead, if the finish loss stands, she fears more european governments will toughen their own measures to keep asylum seekers out. a correspondent terry schultz file that report. you just show source. he joins us now from brussels. terry, good to see you the finish column. it is just opening the final session to biasing this low. tell us, do you have a sense of the potential outcome? yes. and it's really close, jared, this lot needs to pass by 56 of the 200 members of the finish parliament because an
11:12 am
emergency procedure, not, not a normal law. and it's really unclear right at this moment whether that will happen . in fact, just yesterday, 6 members of the social democratic party which had said it would support the law in full ask permission to vote against it so well the government may have thought it had a safe, a safe 56. it doesn't anymore. and i've just been watching this morning and there are now 21 people who've asked to speak. so parliamentarians today could have come in and just taken a vote on this. if they were all sure it's clear they aren't. and this is after debating it for 7 hours on uh, on tuesday. and it sounds like it could really come down to the line, terry, will that be a direct result for finland's policy on its border? either way is not clear. now what proponents of the law are saying is that if they had the stronger measures to keep out what they believe could be hoards of migrants coming to the border. that they could reopen the border
11:13 am
because then they would be allowed to push these people back, which of course is in violation of a new law. and it is not clear if the law fails, what would happen then? the boarders now been closed for months since last year, because they're worried about russia using the border in this way. so if the law fails, i really don't know what's going to happen. it's, it's a advocate say that they could reopen it if they do have these tools in place. now terry, you just explained in that report that we sold that the lo fi lights e u migration policy. so what could the broader impact of this little be as well? yes, that's what the experts say. i'm certainly no expert myself, but even finland itself acknowledges that it would violate you law. but in this new migration packs that was just passed earlier this year, they are allowed to, in extraordinary circumstances, close the border for some amount of time and restrict migration. no nobody other than finland has said that you can block it. and so they, they are likely to have legal troubles if the law passes,
11:14 am
but as the expert in might be said, and as i've heard from many others as a refugee advocates, this means that other countries are likely to follow the finish law and also stop taking applications on the board, this is what they're afraid of. and uh, you know, as we see answered migration sentiment rising across the blog. i think that's a very likely outcome this bill and can, can do it then. so will others think to look at that, terry schultz in brussels. they to fully guard the light has template a bull running spine as seen. and now the 3 people taken to hospital because believe it or not, they were entered by bulls, as is the tradition to base released on an 875, meet a cost way run this. try to avoid being run over a gold. now as you can see, not everyone really achieved that animal rights activists foldable runs. we'd stein back to the 16th century mediaeval cruelty. one runa remains in a serious stable condition. and
