everything joe biden and antony blinken said then: prepare money, launch military conveyors. but he very evasively answered the question of whether the long-range missiles that great britain supplies to ukraine will be used on russian territory, limiting himself to the standard formulation that the actions of the kiev authorities, as they say here in london, should be based on some kind of humanitarian law, although everyone knows very well that this kind of weapon is not applicable without the use of nato equipment, nato satellites and other guidance systems, therefore... there is no clarity on this issue, you know very well that keir starmer, as soon as he became prime minister of great britain, announced that kiev could strike russian territory using weapons provided by the british, but then the british ministry of defense gave what is called a backdoor and said that no such permits had been received from london to kiev. with regard to the provision of additional funds for the purchase of british weapons, this is indeed... the topic was raised today during negotiations at

israel gave washington its response to the proposals on saturday and us secretary of state antony blinkenn gaza is the only way to prevent wider escalations in the region one of the reasons that we are continuing to work so hard for a ceasefire in gaza is notjust for gaza but also so that we can have an opportunity to bring calm, lasting calm across the blue line between israel and lebanon. we are determined to bring the gaza conflict to a close. it has gone on forfar too long. it has cost far too many lives and we want to see israelis, we want to see palestinians, we want to see lebanese live free from the threat of conflict and violence. for more, i have been speaking to the former usm ballots —— us ambassador. prime minister netanyahu has been authorised to decide on the manner and timing of a response. how do you think the prime minister might proceed?— you think the prime minister might proceed? well, he has something — might proceed? well, he has something is _ might proceed? well, he has something is in _ might proceed? well, he has something is in front - might proceed? well, he h

us secretary of state antony blinken warned against an escalation in the region — after israel says it struck a series of his brother targets deep inside lebanon. according to the army, terrorist infrastructure was hit, including stockpiles of weapons. it follows a deadly rocket attack on the israeli occupied golan heights on saturday — in which at least 12 people were killed. most of the casualties were teenagers who were playing football in the town of madge—dal shams. israel has blamed lebanon's hezbollah movement — it has denied responsibility. as we said, israel says it has struck a series of hezbollah targets deep inside lebanon. our correspondent barbara plett usher gave this update on what has been happening. according to the israeli ministry — israeli defence ministry — the air force struck in seven different places in lebanon, in southern lebanon, but also further north in the beqaa, and it doesn't very often strike that far north. so that was almost certainly a message that this was a response —— that they were preparing for a larger operation. and certainly that is what isr

antony blinken said ukrainian membership in nato is non-negotiable.ng about joe biden's mental competence. otherwise the swift answer would have been of course not, joe biden's great. the answer was, yes of course we're talking about that but we're not going to get into that. that's probably the appropriate answer a for g jens stoltenberg. joe biden is going to continue the status quo. jens stoltenberg, antony blinken and the biden administration are working to, quote, fortify their diplomacy so it essentially becomes trump proof, locking in agreements that aren't agreements, it's an agreement between joe biden and vladimir zelenskyy for 10 years, not a treaty that binds the united states and ukraine. that's why mike lee and i have introduced resolutions that call for this to be ratified for senate if biden intends it to be binding on future administration and future policy. cheryl: alvin bragg and matthew colangelo are going to be before the house weaponization committee this week, answering questions about the prosecution of former president trump.

listen to antony blinken this morning on what he said needs to happen in order for there to be peace. i will read it. how do you prevent retaliation against israel? should there be a major counter attack? the best way to bring the temperature is through the cease-fire in gaza whether it's in the north of israel, lebanon, iran or the red sea. that seems a little too simplistic for me. these attacks in the north of israel have been happening since october 7th. >> in a way i agree with him that a cease-fire would help. the problem is i fundamentally and totally disagree how you get to the cease-fire. when you look at the two cease fires and the exchange of hostages that happened since october 7th it only happened when there was military pressure against hamas and only happened when hamas -- every time the biden/harris administration has pressured israel they lose the ability at the negotiating table to have any leverage over hamas. terrorist groups need to feel military leverage saying i will have to make a deal now. >> bill: we wait for the next chapter, maybe the next page we could say

their investigation involves secretary of state antony blinken, us ambassador prion linda thomas greenfieldan. this is very reminiscent of the corruption proceedings involving the head of the procurement of almost 2 billion doses of vaccines. european commission ursula fondeen in the title role. by the way, a similar trial is currently underway in the united states regarding possible bonuses from pharmaceutical giants received by the country’s chief infectious disease specialist, anthony fauci. and coincidentally, joe biden pulled out of the election race while he was sick with covid-19. so why does the pentagon still apologized to the philippines? if you refer to the document, a year ago the united states created four new military bases on the territory of this republic. once again emphasizing that the philippines is one of the main us allies in the indo-pacific region. it’s not difficult to guess who the main opponent is. olga ponomareva, lead. let's translate from clerical to understandable, everything is not so scary if there are instructions. the central bank increased the key rate by

we heard earlier today from antony blinken one of the things he said was that there will be a clear pathbership for ukraine, which i'm sure was welcome news for zelenskyy. we're at a time now there is a lot of concern about our own president's ability to actually lead. what are you hearing? >> right, two things on people's minds here. one of them is the plan for winning the war against russia. right now we continue to give ukraine some help but we also continue to put restrictions on the help that we give them. there doesn't seem to be a plan for how to win. that's the first thing that people are looking for. what is going to happen here? how do we make sure this doesn't just drag on? then the second thing as you asked, people are concerned about president biden's health and fitness for the job. he gave a speech yesterday at the auditorium and did a good job, full voice, forceful speech but doesn't take away the questions about the debate performance and seeing the debate in domestic policy now whether he runs for re-election in november or whether we end up with former president trump c

in the past hour the us secretary of state antony blinken has commented on the haniyeh assasination.s away from the importance of, as i said a moment ago, getting to the ceasefire, which is in the interests of the hostages and bringing them home, it is manifestly in the interests of the palestinians who are suffering terribly every single day. children, women, men, in gaza who have been caught in this crossfire of hamas �*s making. it is profoundly in the interest of trying to put things on a better path, not only in gaza but actually throughout the reason because so much is tied to what is happening in gaza right now. we have been working from day one not only to try to get to a better place in gaza, but also to prevent the conflict from spreading, whether it is in the north with lebanon and hezbollah, or in the red sea, or iran, syria, iraq you name it. a big key to trying to make sure that that does not happen, and that we can move to a better place, is getting the ceasefire. i am not going to speculate on what impact any one event might have on that. i have learned over many year
