jubilant towards boots returned home. media outlets celebrated the big deal as it was described in one of the leading newspapers. while boots sat down with the country's international broadcaster voice 1st interview since his release up what should the west believes that that didn't finish herself in 1990 when the soviet union began to disintegrate? and the fact that we are now trying to live and not depend on any one to be a truly independent power. this of course, is such shocking news for them. they believe that they can destroy us again and divide russia. president vladimir putin welcome boots release, saying he'd be open to similar deals with the united states. was mostly there are other exchange as possible with everything as possible. this is the result of negotiation that and the search for compromises. if we, in this case compromises were found, we do not refuse to continue this work in the future. once a military translator during the soviet era booth became

a war profiteer after the collapse of the union is edie also. but ation as an alms de la, extended from parts of africa, what he was based to several areas of the war. he was arrested in thailand in 2008 while negotiating and on steve with us agents posing as colombian, fox. i bows most cookies that it is of root as a symbolic achievement. in the times the president would want to emphasize to his public that he cares for his nationalist, even those robbie, god, the as hopeless cases in prison and that he would please any option. it's unlikely brutal as you many public roll anytime soon. but some believe his network could be used by moscow to add pressure on the us and its allies in time of war. i would agree that they really wanted him. they've been pressing for his release or exchange for the past 10 years census conviction. i mean,

it's hard to believe that he didn't have extensive ties where the russian national security community, i mean, he was operating one, the largest fleets of military aircraft, transporting helicopters and, and i really have the weapons from app to africa, latin america, asian officials, he se boots relieves one to me that improvement in relations with washington. but it shows the 2 nations can still keep the lines of communication open, even if they're in direct and shooting at each other. in ukraine, the actual jazeera, more school, the u. s. possible stars undergoing health jacket and military hospital, texas, the particle haine has more from washington d. c. on the debate surrounding grinders for these president joe biden, getting a lot of criticism, mostly from republican politicians and also conservative media. and it's pretty twofold one. they say that this makes russian president vladimir putin look strong

. and joe biden look week. and the reason for that is the white house was pretty open about what they wanted, the swap to look like. they wanted. britney greiner paul whelan in exchange for victor boot obviously didn't come home. so a little back story on why real in is in a russian prison. i. he was in his hotel room. he said he went there for a friend's wedding. forces came in, they said they found a bunch of classified information on a hard drive for his part. wayland says that a russian friend had given him that hard drive and told him it was filled, filled with holiday photos. so he believes he was set up, but in 2020 he was sentenced to 16 years in prison. an espionage charges. another part of the criticism that by his getting is that he brought home a basketball player and left us marine behind. now it is true that we'll and served in the military several tours in iraq, but he was discharged this honorably, there is mark fogel. he was convicted of bringing half an ounce of marijuana. he's

been sentenced to 14 years. so those are the 2 americans that the white house says they still want to get out of out of russia. the question is, what do they have to trade with? but it does seem clear that both sides are going to continue talking. although after this experience, it's likely from the white house, it's going to be a much quieter conversation away from the public view. the united nations security council is met after russia's allegations, weapons applied to ukraine have ended up in the hands of criminal gangs. but moscow facing allegations of its own with the u. k. m. besta accusing the criminal buying weapons from iran and north korea. russia has used those iranian drones to kill civilians and illegally target civilian infrastructure, wiping out homes, electricity, power supply, schools, hospitals. russia is now attempting to

they work could improve yields by up to 400 percent. the breakthrough research has made it possible to grow seeds from the plant stems. each of these plans has at least $300.00 notes that can be transplanted to produce to us that are not only bigger but also disease free. was it miss was pharma east, more cash, better health, but on the tissue? more foot. and then more generally. but i'm glad you saw my deck is one of the few farmers of tried the new varieties. if you're black, yukon jam nanette way. national mo, the 2nd, each time of fairly emac gate, the big one, the the was the it, if you look at the, how did to buys big i,

a floating nursery as part of a carl regeneration project. it allows us to put those baby corals after a week of development back down where they're needed most on neighboring reefs that are struggling. it's one of several reef restoration initiatives being child in a collaborative program. the teams identify degraded reefs and try to kick start the recovery process. what's different about this project is that 1st nations ranges are working side by side with scientists. sharing knowledge handed down. i've generations, we have this generational connection with the gripe, our roof, and it's armor symbolic. so whatever happens to reef happens to ross, whatever applesauce, absolute 3 results for your indigenous ranges. we're also working with 2 groups, sharing lessons from the ancestors through storytelling. i met so many people out there i working here. manual about i think it's nearly coming on to 6 years now since i was about 15 years old. he actually di,

ago. it's a small step, but one in the right direction for a reef the united nation says is in danger. sarah clark out a 0 can a cyclone in his southern coastal state of tamil nadu, his cause destruction after making landfill on friday. strong winds and heavy rains, damaged properties flooded residential areas and not rooted hundreds of trees. in this, mitch roger gl department says cycling. manders has now weakened from an earlier severe category. ah. so this is observed, these are the top stories and argentina through to the world cup said me falling off the tenths victory of benevolent and of penalty. she thought it was 2 after extra time. argentina will face croatia in the last 4 of 2, they knocked out torn with favorites, brazil. supporters of bangladesh.
