6:02 pm
welcome to the show you as president joe biden, and the saudi ready prime minister yala pete have signed a non binding declaration to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. biden says it is vital to well security to ensure iran never has a nuclear weapon. the spot in 2nd day in israel and his 1st trip to the middle east as president today, you and i also discussed the marriage commitment to ensuring iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. this is a vital security injures to both israel and united states, and i would add for the rest of the world as well. i continue to believe that diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome and will continue to work with israel to counter other threats from iran throughout the region. including support for terrorism, ballistic missile program continues and apply for ation of weapons to terrorists
6:03 pm
from proxies by casper law, which i bought and we'll make palestinian president by mid abbas in the occupied west bank on friday. stephanie deka is in west jerusalem with more on that visit. even the americans had stipulated and made it very clear. they used the same words and language has been used for a long time, perhaps not with a trump administration. that is the only way. ford is a 2 state solution present biden. there did make reference in the press conference . he said, equal rights for all he mentioned equal freedom of movement for all. well, i think we're very, a very, very long way away from seeing those things become a reality. there will be economic incentives tomorrow, a package we expect around a $100000000.00 by the americans fledged to palestinians halls hospitals in occupied is true. so they've asked some of the gulf states to equal that a that amount to hospitals and occupied these drew's them. but he doesn't bring anything to the table diplomatically. also, you know, things like the breakdown, entrust when it comes to the killing, particularly of our college city in ab locklear as well. the america pressurizing,
6:04 pm
the palestinians to hand over the bullet. they wanted to put this to bed ahead of this meeting. they then said, well, israel did investigate the bullets, something to palestinians are see americans not to allow it was found inconclusive . the americans then said, well, it looks like the israelis did do it, but not on purpose. and these are tragic circumstances, no calls for accountability, which is something that the family maintains wants and demands. so yes, i don't think these are great relations at the moment. certainly, and i don't think the policies are expecting anything from joe biden when he does meet with president mahmoud abbas tomorrow in bethlehem. ok, well joining me now here in dough har is our white house correspondent. kimberly, how could, kimberly, of course, no shortage of warm words between biden and ja la pete asked to be expected. but how does this visit your eyes build upon previous visits by previous administrations? is there anything new to go off? there really was nothing new that came out of this press conference if you could even call it a press conference. a was all of the statements. and there were really just 2
6:05 pm
questions from both the israeli media and from the u. s. media and everything that was covered was information that we already knew. we knew what was going to be in this non binding declaration. that this would outline that they believe that arises destabilizing force in the region. this is something we've heard repeatedly. this is something that the united states is underscored in terms of israel's right to defend itself in security for years. and not only that, i, you know, once again the u. s. president affirmed that israel has right to defend itself. i mean, these are things that we've been hearing over and over and there's nothing new in all of this. in other words, this is really just underscoring what we've heard from the u. s. president from previous administrations and from the u. s. congress repeatedly this, as you've pointed out, is really just a love fest with an underscoring and an exclamation point at the end. right. and of course sir button will not just stop the visit with the israeli politician side of
6:06 pm
things. of course he's meeting with mahmoud abbas as well. whenever a u. s. president, or indeed a top us to promote visits, or israel palestinians often say that it's a way of legitimizing the occupation that was there any shred, any, any thing that could be gleaned as being positive from the palestinian side of things when it comes to bottles, visit we're gonna have to watch carefully and we don't know what was said behind closed doors. and so one can be hopeful and optimistic, but we'd also be obviously naive at this point to, to have a lot of optimism. and the reason i say that is that our own sharina, exactly the journalist that was killed subsequent investigations have shown that it was likely in israeli bullet that was, was responsible for killing her. not a single journalist asked about that. and whether not the u. s. president had pressed the is really care take her prime minister about this. she's a us citizen. this is astounding. why was that question not asked?
6:07 pm
it will, can only leave the palestinians to be less hopeful. and not only that, the fact of the matter is this. the president came off of air force one and said, right, as soon as he landed, that he doesn't see any resolution in terms of the peace process in the near term. how can anyone be hopeful when the president starts out his visit that way? so whether there's anything that's been discussed behind closed doors, it remains to be seen. we certainly will find out when he meets with the housing authority, president muffler abbas on friday. but again, there doesn't seem to be a lot of reason to be optimistic at the right point. and this is the president of course, who's beset by huge challenges domestically as well. how do you think so this, this trip to the middle east is going to be seen by voters by coma out of mid times in november. i don't even think they're watching the, the problem for the president is most americans are much more concerned right now with domestic issues. and you can hardly blame them. inflation. is that
6:08 pm
a 41 year high in the united states, people are struggling to pay their rent or their mortgage. they're struggling to pay for the fuel for their vehicles just to get to work and they're struggling to pay for their food prices. i things are astronomically high, and they're blaming joe biden for this. so he's got a bit of a problem. he has a congress elections come after november. he's going to be blamed for this, likely, or at least his democratic party is going to be. he's got to turn this around politically and he doesn't have a lot of time to do it. he could use some good news coming out of this, but the problem for the president is no one's really watching. kimberly, thanks so much for your in. so i can be how can all white house correspondent that thanks. now many palestinians want the u. s. president to demand accountability for israel's killing of al jazeera journal as sharina blacklight in may till hallman reports from occupied east jerusalem. this is the grave of serene abu accolade, the palestinian american journalist, who worked for al jazeera, the cemetery,
6:09 pm
was full of people for her funeral. this may, after she was short in the occupied westbank. ah, she was famous already, but for a lot of palestinians had their embodied what they lived through the possibility that they could be killed by israeli forces with little follow up for accountability. and now that's become a phone issue for president biden. as he visits the region and his administration launched an investigation into a death, but concluded that even though the bullet was likely fired by the israeli military, it was without intention to kill her. now abu at least families have killed that a whitewash. she was wearing a blue helmet and best mart press when she was shot. they've asked to meet president biden on this trip where those concerns the latest is that that's not gonna happen. instead, they've been offered a visit to washington at some point. that's not going to stop the questions coming up, president biden, especially when on friday he travels to the occupied west bank and on the route
6:10 pm
there actually own the separation will. that has gone up a mule of serene. i will actually to remind him and every one else of her presence here, a presence that is still overshadowing this trip. so lancaster residence has flown to singapore from the mold, eaves protested. want him to step aside along with the prime minister and acting president, runner, vicar m a. singer, a curfew is in place after thousands took to the streets of capital, colombo, and stormed government buildings. you looking at life pitches form the streets of colombo, where people have started celebrating on hearing that the resignation of a president go to buy a roger pack, some may well be imminent, may will be on its way. we're joining us live now from colombo is a serious, michelle fernandez now. what more can you tell us about these developments? ah, so within the last hour what we have heard is that the speaker has received an
6:11 pm
official communication in the form of a scanned letter of resignation from present gotta be roger boxer. but obviously given the nature of that letter and its importance, that is a formal verification process, which the speaker's office has pointed out, has to be completed before they can formally accept and declare the speaker as having received the former resignation of present gotta be roger boxer, however, as you can probably hear some of these features that are going on behind me, this is at the go to go home village outside the prison, just like there it people are celebrating. there are 5 wreckers being led to their world a short while ago. when news broke of that letter coming in, now there is a copy circulating and i stress that it is still to be formally accepted as the official resignation letter. or just to give you an indication of some of the lines
6:12 pm
. the president saying that everything he did was for the security, the health and the well being of the people of this country that he can sleep at night with a clear conscience for what he did and what he was sort of motivated to do. also talking about that field, organic farming experi experiment saying he never expected it to fail so badly. and that is the one place if that letter is to be believed as the original that he apologizes that he apologizes to of the people for the unsuccessful ness of that. but he also talks about the crashing of the economy. the dollar crisis, which he attributes to the fall of tourism after the 2019 easter bomb attacks and the pandemic, you know, putting the blame on that. and he goes on on to make
6:13 pm
a couple of other points saying that the people are, he hopes, through the constitutional process when they elect a replacement in parliament, that people will a walker with that individual. so that's what we're hearing, but i stress again that the speakers off. he says there is an official process laid down in the constitution that they need to verify the authenticity of that letter a minute. is there any understanding of how long it may take to authenticate this letter? and if it is, of course, authenticated what happens next. so basically, according to sources at the speaker's office, what they see is, as i said, there is a procedures, there's a process laid out in terms of how this kind of communication needs to be authenticated. i do believe that it might be involving the chief justice potentially the attorney general, the speaker of the opposition,
6:14 pm
the prime minister. obviously, all of these higher ranking officials that need to come together and agree once they go through the sort of procedures article for the book says and accepted as genuine and asked to sort of put a general sort of ball park estimate on how long this process would take, i was heading that it might be to morrow morning. obviously for those behind me, the moment they heard the news, whether it was verified or not, the cracker, the, the firecrackers, the celebration started. they have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. and you asked about what next? now here's where it gets to this sort of complicated phase. the 1st thing would be that officially, the moment the president has resigned renello, vic, promising her, the prime minister becomes the acting president. now he's already acting as president on the authority given to him by president, go top a roger boxer. but again, this is an automatic process,
6:15 pm
then what happens is that cabinet will have to appoint someone as acting prime minister to fill the void that was created when run a vicar missing her sort of takes on the acting presidency. said that is the process that lasts for a maximum of 30 days of one month. it can last according to the constitution, at which point parliament must get together by secret vote. the m p 's must have an election to choose a president that would replace toner on a, on a longer term basis. prison, gotta be roger boxer. and that individual service, the remainder of the term of the president. so that's where it stands. but obviously when party leaders in that void while they were waiting for the resignation letter of the president, they did lay down within 3 days of the resignation letter being received. that's within 3 days that the process would happen in terms of parliament being convened.
6:16 pm
because that process that co convening of parliament was due today. it didn't happen earlier because the letter hadn't been received. but now that it has, within the next 3 days, parliament will convene and dad in begins a process. there will be a date for nominations within a day or 2. and at the end of that, again, within a quick period, there will be that election. so it's highly likely that opposition and all political party leaders a will push for a smooth and a quick transition process where that election we move from this interim, acting phase of president and prime minister that we move to the more longer term phase, where parliament actually elects that individual to serve the remainder of the term mina. we have of course, seen her protests on the streets of columbia recent days. we're looking at live pictures of jubilation on the streets of columbia as well. it could well be
6:17 pm
a long night of celebrating as people there in the salon. can capital a wait for confirmation that the resignation letter of got a bar. roger parker has arrived inter lanka and is being verified as we speak. her relo fernandez will leave her there for now. we'll be back without news of so lanka later on in the show. thanks. once sir gossip are raj a pack sir has officially resigned. what happens next? the prime minister can hold the position for 30 days by which time parliament must elect a member of the chamber to the post. it will carry out the remainder of the term opposition, policies and protests as a prime minister, vic rema sing a must resign and make way for a new government is previously said he's willing to so it's unclear if he wants to carry on. roger paxis will anchors people's front is the largest block in parliament, but they don't have the 113 seat majority needed to decide a successor. if the s l p p push for a party lawyer lesser president,
6:18 pm
it's sure to anger protest as the question now is whether the deeply divided parliament will find a compromise you learn about village are now typically will be available to brush the acne. we have no problem with who is next. so active president. but if it's going to be randall vick from is seeing who's elected, we would love to know who in parliament votes for a man whose party only got $225000.00 votes. and yet is going to control 22000000 people. we will have to question if parliament is a place where the views of the people are taken into consideration, that it means that members do not understand the demands of the people for change and let the people are suffering out a little then. okay, will. and may samantha round as an opposition member of for lancaster parliament, he joins me now. live former colombo, welcome to the program. what do you make of the, these seems the playing out on the streets of columbia at the moment seems of jubilation in anticipation of this resignation letter from go to pi. roger park. so the site and they have been waiting for 5 days now from 9th of july, he gave
6:19 pm
a promise that he was designing yesterday, and that they were so disappointed, they stormed up prime minister's office. they want the prime minister also to step down. that call is very clear what they wanted, both the president and the brightness of the step down. we had a bodily does meeting in parliament and all the party does also asked by mr to sit down. but he asked not. but for the moment, i think the people i do believe that they have with at least what were the 1st object of bringing down a bit on the box. the puts us to say that this is all, all the demonstrations that we said in recent days are largely because of roger packs is designed to, to hold on. why in your eyes did he delay the issuing of this resignation letter? was a calculated mean? yes, i think he's the water about the security in the sense that if he did not have enough
6:20 pm
state immunity wiley level from one place to another that he might be nat before various crying that he's accused of i think he had that one, but that holla, i'm really got to see a bull. the big question is now what happens next? a question, i suppose most people who've been out protesting on the streets of colombo want to know is whether they can trust the political elite at all. when it comes to the opposition party that you are, of course a member off is that much unity there to lead the country and new direction. they is unity amongst the offices and parties, but unfortunately the numbers are low in the office. when got i bit idea bucks was elected to be that he's 40 stepped into office even even in parliament and have a near 2 thirds majority. they made up the 2 beds as well. so as much as got abby and i did bucks that has lost the timothy and had to leave off east his 40 the
6:21 pm
ascent b. b also has lost his mandate amongst the people. so that is something that needs to be understood that this parliament baldoni is dominated by the see black up. but again, a bit of one of the a says b, b, they have no legitimacy. and they cannot dictate ems as to who takes over the governance from now on. i may, samantha are on the member of the opposition political party there and so like a thank you. ah, that live is old chief, is refusing to accept the government's decision to sack him as arguments heat up over which the countries to administration should have access to all revenue. they be as national oil corporation, chairman, the staff, a sonata says tripoli based prime minister abdul hammered bait. the baby mandate, his co gut to coven has expired. therefore,
6:22 pm
ending is authority to dismiss him to baber named a new board of directors, including a new chairman on wednesday. no marolla to one of his mina. this outdated government has been a caretaker government since october 2021. parliament withdrew its confidence vote and it became nothing but a caretaker government. it's political agreement ended on june 22. meaning this is an expired government and there is a 2nd government appointed by parliament. therefore, i say to him, you are what you are. you are just sitting around in a fait accompli. okay, let's bring in jason pack. he is the founder of libya, analysis, and consult and see which produces nuanced evidence based research and analysis on libya, he joined speech now from london, just by asking you, sir. there appears to be conflicting reports of exactly who is in control of the national all cooperation claims that de baber appointed new oil chief and commission has actually walked into those offices. but they're also counterclaims
6:23 pm
as well. what you understand is going on well, it does seem to for have been good. dora has gone to the n a c offices today, but that doesn't mean is in control of anything like and everything in libya. there's complexity layered on top of paradox. and there is a history for over the last 8 years that whenever oil prices are really high, as they were in $21415.00 or as they have been since february of this year, the libyan oil goes off and this doesn't benefit any libby. it, but it does benefit certain outside actors like russia and the emeralds and salary, who then benefit from those higher will prices when the libyan oil is knocked offline. and the, the longer the short of it is, whoever controls the oil potentially controls the country. i think that that's not actually what this is about. the desire to replace santa law has been a longstanding thing for both dubai, but camp in the west, andy half tar, and a gila camp in the east. this is about personality politics and who can deliver
6:24 pm
favors to the u. e rushes and saudi, so as to stay in power. it's not really about controlling the oil in any meaningful way. how by all of this, a player politically given all of the demonstrations, all of the disdain towards leaders in both the east and the west of the country in recent weeks. well, what there is, is a fix up rather than constituents in the west getting a western leader like to biber who has their interest at heart or in the east half dora gila, who have the eastern interest at heart. that's not what's happening at all. there was a meeting between our son saddam half tar, and a emissary from dubai, by abraham, due by his son in law in the amorous where they made the stitch up promising to replace another who, you know, has credibility and transparency and has done miracles in the past to get to be in will back online and they agreed that they would replace it with her husband and
6:25 pm
our other former, i could ask the central bank governor as a way to blame center for taking oil offline, even though it was due by bob and his minister own and then half tar, and his malicious who done this fe accompli to benefit russia and the emirates, i mean, the key thing here is it's not about the oil. it's certainly not about the interest of the libyan people. this is a win for russia and the m a rich, so as to have higher prices and to deny oil and gas to members of the coalition, like italy who are wavering in their community. what do you think we we go from here? i'm just going to read you some of the u. s. embassy has, sir said they said that the reported replacement of the national corporation board may be contested in court, but must not become the subject of armed confrontation. firstly, could this be challenged legally, and secondly, could this lead to something quite unsavoury? well, the 1st question is incredibly complex. so unfortunately,
6:26 pm
whoever is libby as legitimate prime minister as per the lpa the right to remove 17 december 2015. does have the ability to, to replace the n o c chairman, but it's not clear at this point who would be as much in the prime minister is. so to solve the question of who has the ability to replace them ela, you have to figure out who has legitimate authority to govern libya. and this is something that for months has not been able to be determined because to buy bose governor and beyond his mandate. and unfortunately, district shows the way in which the american lead order is not able to walk into bubblegum. they've done a great job unifying the west to support ukraine, but they've done miserably outside of the west with players like india saudi. you 8 not willing to rally against russia. so it's a very complicated question that could be litigated. it's very nice that ambassador roland has issued that statement and you know, he's a good guy, but he's stepping down imminently as is stephanie williams. and the russians have
6:27 pm
been able to play the role of spoiler so essentially just truck one up for russia. right. right, jason, back her founder of libya analysis. thank you. yes and situation. now the news, a prolonged heat wave has caused droughts and parts of italy in spain. natasha, the name reports from the northwest to the south. spaniards are sweltering in the, in the lucy, our region, the mercury sword to 45.6 degrees celsius on wednesday. the government is warning people to be cautious and avoid going outdoors unless absolutely necessary. like a content color with, with so much heat, people don't leave their home still early. so there are no customers until later in the day of this is a 2nd heat wave in western europe in a matter of weeks. forest fires are burning near the border with portugal and north west of madrid where hundreds of residents have had to leave their homes,
6:28 pm
france and portugal, or also battling wildfires. and at least one person has died. there is a drought in spain. water reserves have shrunk more than 20 percent this year. causality we side ourselves, but how we going to wind up either we see a lack of water or a desert. one. it's not so much for us before our children and grandchildren when the conditions have made it impossible for barley and wheat farmers to take full advantage of the rising cost of cereals for them. but in thought, what am thinking when the benefit there would be loss of 30 to 40 percent and in some areas of the province of light, we're talking about 607080 percent loss meteorologist. say climate change is making both drought and heat waves. more frequent spaniards aren't expected to get much relief from the high temperatures until sunday. natasha n a. l 0. so hurdle al jazeera and then lower 5. you case,

6:30 pm
iran, those not quite extreme iran as it was. and the on shore breeze is like thing, but it still keep the temperatures below 30. for example, from beirut. round to was alexandria. now let me just tell you to south the, do you see the change? probably not because it wasn't much, but the onshore breeze and seller is still there and it's enhanced a bit. remember, this is on the edge of the monsoon rain. so watch what's happening in the rape and seed. i thought we just go one day for to sunday, a hint, the circulation there is that happens. it becomes a proper revolving storm on his way to a man that will be quite significant. so we'll come back to the day or 2, jumping sized, good news for somali, but only tends to be good. use widespread cloudy weather with light rain and some light rain for the southern part of ethiopia. most of the heavy stuff is still up in the mountains in ethiopia, highlands ah,

6:32 pm
the many ah ah, you're watching al jazeera, a reminder of our top stories this out protested since for lanka, continued to demand the resignation of president go to buy a raja pike's and he's alive, pictures is flown to singapore. the mold is they also want the prime minister. and i think president ronald big remish thing to step aside here as president joe biden . and his radio prime minister yala p have signed a non binding declaration to preventive ran from acquiring nuclear weapons. i did also restated the u. s. position on the 2 state solution for israel and palestine
6:33 pm
of born this lance bringing hammered. massage. he is a professor of political science at the university of toronto and he joins us from there by skype. i'm pretty much convinced that the rainy and leadership would have been watching biden's visit to the israel very, very closely. indeed, to see what kind of concessions the americans may give to either saudi where biden goes next, or indeed they'd be astray. these. but what firstly, do you think the leadership and terran will make of this non binding agreement to prevent iran from ever having nuclear weapons? well, i think the declaration is nothing new. i mean the americans in the israelis have made 6 statements numerous times in the past. are nevertheless, i think there's 2 important points here. the 1st one is did a declaration actually has a provision where the americans are pledging continued u. s. military support for israel?
6:34 pm
so these re, these are actually using this as an excuse to get the american military aid. and even though israel is the only country in the middle east with nuclear weapons, and the 2nd point is dead, did this declaration is happening at a very sensitive moment. iran, us negotiations on the nuclear issue is at a stall made and everybody into iran is close the you watching biden's trip to the middle east 9. think if the americans actually want this deal to happen, they have to distance themselves from the israelis which have been open the end very aggressively against any form of deal. whether you're on on the issue of iran's nuclear weapons program and tokens. specifically, about dorman, to a new killer deal. biden's said he's not going away forever to, to hear positive overtures from, from iran, but have the u. s. gone gone far enough?
6:35 pm
and in giving a rom audit once in comparison to what happened to oversee under the trump administration. pre biden, while did you on has had too many demands in the negotiations and none of those 2 have been met. the 1st one is that iran has been asking for the sanctions wood, which tromp implemented after leaving the deal in 2018 to be lifted. and the bygone administration has only agreed to lift part of those sanctions. the 2nd issue is that you are on is asking for some sort of guarantee that the americans won't leave the duel a 2nd high. and the americans have rightfully said that they can't guarantee a future administration for not leaving the deal, but actually uranian sources are saying that the americans are actually not even
6:36 pm
agreeing to provide any sort of guarantee that they will not leave the deal even under the identity. ministration, and this is very disappointing for the iranians, and i think this, this will be very important if the deal is to be concluded. that is perhaps most sacred in washington that sir biden wants to play a role in bringing israel and saudi arabia closer together. how might iran exert itself in the face of that new relationship? well, i think i think that the, that is being seen is very threatening and have her on. if the americans do decide to build a so called coalition centered around israel way of iran being sort to the book, the man in the region in this coalition being built against iran,
6:37 pm
then that is going to be seen as by threatening enter wrong. and i think that is going to actually cause instability in the region. i don't think that will serve america's interests in the long run. and we know that the americans are actually trying to leave the middle east. they are trying to shift their focus towards east asia towards china. so actually trying to build a coalition around israel and it gave the wrong would actually serve the interests of the really not the merit homage must be great to have you on the news as a professor political science at the university of terra, a russian air strike has killed at least 17 people, including a child in one of ukraine's largest cities called va needs. yet many others have been injured as missiles hit, residential buildings and businesses. adam fisher reports from keith desperate dash to save a life pulled from the debris after a russian missile strike in the tone of v need, sir. it was mid morning when 3 explosions ripped through an office building and to
6:38 pm
residential blocks. the area was packed. the number of dead and injured significant president vladimir zalinski called it an act of terrorism. joy, you could a russian rockets hit our city vinegar, a typical peaceful city. cruise missiles hid civilian buildings, destroyed residential blocks, a medical center. and there is a fire, cause were on fire trams. this is a particular criminal act of russian terror. it cannot be done by humans. their barbarians if the ukrainian claims are correct and what was fired with caliber cruise missiles from a submarine that adds to their allegation, that civilians are being deliberately targeted. because these messages are known to be incredibly accurate. rarely string more than 4 meters away from the intended target. the attack came just omers after ukraine's foreign minister renewed calls for a special tribunal to investigate, alleged russian war crimes. speaking to a meeting of europe's judicial authorities,
6:39 pm

6:54 pm
is we can stand there all day, but it is, you know, i've spoken to a lot of people that were there last week and then there's no animosity between players. yet the stories being written there are so yeah, you create issues either out. so you want to do that like fine. well, the trial of american basketball stop brittany griner was redeemed in russia. she's facing drug charges that could see has sentenced up to 10 years in prison. the to time in and pick champion was detained in moscow airport in february, just days before russia invaded ukraine. last week, greiner acknowledged her guilt but denied. she had intentionally broken the law. russian authorities claims she was carrying vape cartridges containing cannabis oil a substance illegal in the country. us officials say the 31 year old has been wrongfully held and should be immediately returns the united states. michael man is a law professor at the university of new hampshire. he says there's not much the americans can do to help griner. i think the us government has done what it can. i
6:55 pm
know there's some criticism that they haven't facilitated conversations between greiner and her wife. but i know that the government, the us government very limited and what it can do, a grinder is part, is detained in russia. the government, us government doesn't have a capacity to do much more than offer support. that support could end up being important. should grinder eventually be exchanged for another prisoner? but i think the reality is that it's hard for the us government to do much in this particular situation. a, she would have broken the law, but maybe not in such a way that she would deserve to spend. and potentially a decade behind bars. so there is a political element, of course is a political one because it involves the u. s. and russia, a given the strain relations between those countries, not only involving the ukraine, but other topics. so there is definitely a political element to it though in a more narrow light. if she broke the law, she did break the law. i think ultimately she'll return home as part of
6:56 pm
a prisoner exchange. it sounds like the government's interested in doing that. it sounds like the russian government is interested in that sort of transaction. so most likely she will return home. but i think the key question is, how long will she be behind bars? is this a matter of weeks, months, years? obviously we all hope is the matter of days or weeks. but it does take a while. it see aims pretty exchanges to take place. united states by far the most successful nation at the world athletics championships, but as never host to the event that will change on friday to 1000 of the best athletes from across the global compete at hayward field, which is on the campus of the university of oregon the stadium can roll up to 25000 spectators while that i 6 is hoping the next 10 days can help boost the profile of the sports in america, ukrainian high jump euros. glover my who checked was the silver medalist at the last championships in doha. 3 years ago, while she's focused on competing home country, is never,
