10:17 pm
part of a head of a state whose bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world, so their argument is, is that the united states really is in no position has no moral high ground. the united states, on the other hand, is accusing war crimes, given the fact that it alleges that it is civilians that are being targeted. so of course, this has legal implications and the u. s. has doubled down on this, this u. s. secretary of state entity blinking, also citing examples of why they believe russia's committed war crimes naming vladimir putin specifically. and the reason this could complicate matters is not only the negotiations that are ongoing with respect to this conflict between russia and ukraine. but also the united states has been working with russia in order to try and revive that 2015 agreement to limit iran's nuclear program. also known as the j c p, away. and so this is another reason why this has grave concern. the fact that the u . s. ambassador has been summoned in russia and the fact that ties are not only

10:27 pm
independent sentencing commission which reduced the sentences for some drug offenses. but then we also see more, more general argument that, but she's part of a general moved by the democrats against law and order itself, which is like a theme moving into the mid terms. i think that's really what, what they're looking at here is, is, will continue with theme because in fact, jackson's nomination is all but assured, the democrats don't need any republicans. so insult, in some ways what we're going to see if i put a grand standing we've, we've come to expect that in the gallery. ratcliffe says this should not have taken the u. k. government 6 years to bring her home. the british uranian national, was speaking for the 1st time since who released from jail in iran. she was detained on security charges along with a new share shorey and has now appealed for all around hostages to be reunited with their families. charlie angela reports ah, during her 6 years in prison, no under house arrest, many inside and outside parliament,
