it's international perspective with the human tight zooming way in, and then pulling back out again. harmful pathogens are increasingly affecting our lives with terrible consequences. a new documentary asks why that we've learned any lessons from the h. i. v. epidemic in the fight against coven 19. have we ignored the global serve to put profits before people? and it won't cost ah, time of panda. on august, a weekly look at the world to talk business stories from global market to economies and small businesses. to understand how it affects our daily lives, on the damage with counting the cost on al jazeera. ah,

this is al jazeera ah. hello sir. hello robin. you're watching the out. is there a news our life of our headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes? israel's longest serving palestinian prisoner is free cream you. this was behind bars for almost 40 years. a speaker has not been elected. the us house of representatives in disorder as politicians fell to agree on a speaker for a 2nd straight day. ah, fall to pope and we're artist benedict. the 16th thousands of mourners paid tribute to the former leader of the roman catholic church. and another hit for the tech sector. his e commerce join to amazon announce is this largest layoff in history. ah,

welcome to the news. i will begin with the release of the longest held palestinian prisoner israeli authorities feed cream. eunice, who's also an israeli citizen. he'd been in detention for 40 years. he was convicted in 1983 of killing an israeli soldier in the golan heights. the palestinian israeli was initially condemned to life imprisonment, but his sentence was later commuted around. con is in our village, where many people have gathered to welcoming us back to his community. an emotional reunion for kareem eunice who spent 40 years inside and his railey jail. he was jailed on the 6th of january, 1983, released just a few hours ago of $530.00 a. m a from a prison in central israel. he was taken to

a nearby town. he was given a card that he didn't know what it was. he wasn't sure it was actually a bus pass. he then called his brother's brother, picked him up and brought him here. it's very difficult to underestimate um how important agreement is, was within the photo political movement. he was a member of the central committee advising stone. if you own, when he was jailed in 1983 for the killing of an israeli soldier in the occupied golden heights. now this was not part of a political exchange. this was not part of benevolence on the part of the israelis . this was simply the fact that the man has served all 40 years of his sentence and therefore was released. but what we're saying now, this is actually happening in defiance of the israeli authorities. these radio authorities said that they should not mark this occasion that no

one. busy they shouldn't set up, hence the family of ignored that. oh. and they've managed to mark this reunion. now we have been speaking to the man himself. let's take a listen to what he had to say about freedom. belinda, give her get yes or no. no, but i have a lot of feelings in my wars. don't know how to express. it is the 1st time in 40 years to see the trees in the grass. i used to see on the walls and cement, but to day i saw a lot of different things. i entered so many houses and i sat down on a sofa for the 1st time at 40 years. i got a very strange feeling when i 1st entered my brother's car, to the extent that i didn't know how to sit properly. it is a mix of feelings and emotions to see the sky without bars for the 1st time at 40 years. now wilma, now even when he was inside, presently still remained politically active. he was teaching other prisoners about the palestinian struggle. like i say, he is actually in his writing, the citizens of israel always said that his imprisonment was internal is really

a matter. but now he's free, he's 66 years old and as an awful lot for him to catch on the united nations security council. it's a told a meeting in the coming hours after israel's national security minister and to the al acts are most compound it m. r, bangor, his actions on tuesday have been widely condemned as provocative. ha stein's ambassador to the united nations is calling for strong action against israel. the attack is not only against our holy sites in the lock, so mosque and, and the hot m sharif. there are because of this environment of extremism that this is the really extreme government, the extremist in the history of israel, is providing is leading to additional aggression against our christian sites. christian, graveyards, you've seen by now that there are crosses over, you know,

graveyards being trampled upon and attacked by extreme settlers. this is a toxic environment. the international community has to speak with one voice or diplomatic editor. james bays has more from the un. well, it's been a flurry of diplomatic meetings taking place here at the united nations, a meeting of the arab group of ambassadors then the meeting of the ambassadors from all islamic countries. and then the representatives of those 2 groups meeting with the current president of the security council japan, he'll preside over the security council meeting that's going to take place on thursday, the palestinian ambassador, making it clear they want very tough action from the security council. it's worth noting that among those ambassadors surrounding the policy and bassett was the representatives of 2 countries that have long had diplomatic relations with israel . that's jordan and egypt and also the ambassador of morocco and the deputy

ambassador of a 2 countries that the more recently had more friendly relationships with israel also was telling you that one of those basses in bassett, from jordan mahmoud. her mood spoke also to reporters. jordan has a special role as the guardian of the holy sites. the king of jordan has a special of the guardian of the holy sites in jerusalem. he made it clear and reminded reporters of the year 2000 when the then it's really opposition. the ariel sharon went to the alex mox compound. and he said that at that time the security council had produced a resolution. this is it 1322, which condemns what it says was the provocation that had been carried out and he and the other ambassadors say they want to see another resolution like this passed by the security council because he made it clear back in 2000 that that act was the spark that started the 2nd intifada, and someone who covered that on the ground in the west bank at the time that

something the certainly the international community doesn't want to see. again. president vladimir putin says he's open to dialogue with ukraine, but only if keith accepts the territories already occupied by moscow belong to russia. putin made those comments during his own. it took years president visits, i've again called on to, to, to support a unilateral cease fire. and a fair solution, everyone is expected to speak to ukraine. autumn is lensky by phone. later on thursday, let's bring in political analysts the heavy bay son. he joins us now from his stumble by us. got good talk with us on al jazeera again said, i just have your time. i mean, what were we expecting from this flow phone call? because pleasantries aside, there is a lot of serious business to be conducted on several fronts that it all needs to be addressed. well, i think we should look at the, from the post of perspective, which is to say the president on using his personal friendship with

president putin and actually achieving something that many of the world leaders are not there at all. let's remember the grain deal. he himself, personally managed it on 21000000 tons of grain. now it's flaw in many, in the desperate places in especially africa, north africa. so i think this phone call extremely important though to, to, to find a kind of a viable exit strategy from this war. or conflict, whatever you name it, where hundreds and thousands of people lost their life. so it did. i mean, we would expect. and now in the afternoon, as president on like around one hour ago in a press conference. told us that after speaking with mr. put in this afternoon will be speaking with mr. zelinski to find a solution to the conflict. indeed, i mean, as a nato member preferred one also has a direct line of communication,

not any with the e. u, and it's lead is that, but also with the u. s, how important is turkey becoming now in this sort of triumph of trying to speak not only to russia and ukraine, but also try and get messages through to other parties. other interested parties in the conflict in ukraine? you're absolutely right. as a natal member, turkey named the president at the lawn mediate him between the 2 sides. but i don't think he is speaking on behalf of nato, but nevertheless, as a mediator. it's very important that both sides depend on him trust on him and continue negotiate in otherwise deep channels. special like diplomatic channels seems to be not walking at all. and despite efforts by the you and, and by did you not much had been achieved so far. but as you said,

it extremely important that the natal member doing it as a turkey doing up people to role in to finding a solution into this conflict. but also, let's remember the president on using his personal friendship with both leaders fight bringing in solutions. for example, prisoners exchange, or many other areas which are extremely important at these that channel is open and someone is doing it willingly. this is present on himself and of course, present, tuan is also, as you say, dealing with negotiating his grain shipments coming out of the black sea. also trying to find a way to get the 2 parties to talk together. he wants something out of all of his doesn't he, when he speaks to president putin and he wants present patient, sorry,

present, puts death to actually find a solution perhaps for his p k. k problem that he sees is quite a domestic issue for him. well, it's not only domestic as such, but it's certainly also regional issue and very, very important issue. this is to say it's not limited to p k k, because i know it's often d international committed to turn a blind eyes to the issue. but i think it's extremely simple. serious. this is to say that in the north eastern part of syria into protects or fight against terror name need fight against isis. humbler, since thousands saw armed man already stationed at the turkish border. this is, i mean it's really a warrior as a turkish citizen, because these people are armed, trained, financed, and more importantly,

gained field experience in fighting against ices. but united states so far does not offer any convincing argument that what was, what would happen after i says, evaporates disappears. what's gonna happen to these people on the guns and weapons? we know other parts of the world. they were just abandoned as mission accomplished . and then the region has to deal with, so i think charge you trying to draw attention to this very, very serious issue. it's not only p k k, but of course target has the p k, k and tara, and we have, you know, just recently an explosion and in the heart of the stumble. but i think the issue is very important. international community should take it very seriously. it's concerning that we want to think that i will be keeping a close eye on in the coming days for the moment, be based on thank you so much for joining us with stumble. so thank you. still had here on the news are an armed group in the democratic republic of congo,

says it will withdraw from another title here from the government. china rejects accusations, is not telling the full truth about its latest cove. it 19 outbreak and, and sport. it all gets ready to host for balls arabian gold cup for the 1st time in 44 years. ah, for a 3rd straight day, the us house of representatives will convene to try and pick a new speaker. the last 2 attempts were unsuccessful with the group of hard line republicans again blocking kevin mccarthy's bid for the top job. it's the 1st time the century that the result wasn't determined in the 1st vote. john hendern report . so problem, capitol hill? it's a high stakes political stand off on one side, republican liter, kevin mccarthy, in most of his party on the other a cadre of strong willed republican rebels in 6 ballots. over 2 days like

mccarthy's mainstream republicans have failed to muster, the votes, to elect him his speaker of the u. s. house of representatives. a speaker has not been elected. it was a scene of republican disarray, a block of 19 than 20. then 21, mostly members of the freedom caucus repeatedly stopped the party leader from reaching the necessary 218 vote threshold. mccarthy began the 2nd day of voting with optimism with but the republican rebels wanted dramatically limit the size of the federal government and overhaul the congressional rules to do that. and a series of concessions failed to satisfy them. after hours of deadlock votes, they took a 3 hour break for equally fruitless negotiation with the house being harder then quickly adjourned for a 2nd day without speaking, democrats watched this slow paced collision with glee, one bearing an arm load of popcorn. the contrast between house democrats on the

chaos and confusion taking place on the other side of the aisle could not be more clear. democrat, ha keen, jeffries topped every vote, but fell short. the majority needed to win. without a speaker, the house can't pass. laws may committee assignments or even swear in its new members, leaving the united states without a functioning house of representatives. one democrat in particular, lamented the congressional chaos. it's embarrassing for the country. i mean, literally i'm making a part of this reality that you know, to be have on congress the can function. is this embarrassing really greatest nation in the world? how can i say as republicans battled it out on the house floor? president joe biden joined republican senate leader mitch mcconnell at a bridge connecting kentucky in ohio, funded by a bipartisan infrastructure law, showing that even divided government can function when both sides cooperate. john

henderson, al jazeera capitol hill, bus beach, while whitehouse correspond kimberly hallett. he's standing by for us outside the y thompson, of course. kimberly, yesterday we sort of had rise smiles about how everybody was finding is slightly humorous, but it really is getting serious now, especially with the president weighing in 2 as is no question about it. and many of these so called a rebel republicans are digging in their heels because they feel strongly that pushing back on a member of their own party is a really something that they've been called to do by their constituents. they see him as being emblematic of everything that's wrong with american politics, ties to big money and historical laser influence that big connections and money has over politics and everything that's gone wrong with politics and american. so they feel that this is much bigger than just a fight over who will be the speaker of the house. and that's why there is this

stand off. and so it may be that we go another day without a speaker because they feel that this is something that's worth fighting for. having said that, as john 100 pointed out, until the speaker of the houses selected, this means that there can be no legislation. the members can be sworn in and also they cannot set up the committees now in terms of where this goes from here, there are alternatives. if it to kevin mccarthy is not ultimately successful. there are other republicans that could come forward. couple of names that stand out, steve scully's, he'll remember he was injured at that to congressional baseball game a few years ago. he's very popular, jim jordan, another one that is very staunch supporter of former president donald trump. and also there is a came jeffries. although he is a democrat, he is very, very popular among the democrats and even some republicans. there is

a scenario where if he could convince some republicans to support him, he could even be speaker of the house. so there are alternatives. but right now it seems that republicans are still intent at least some of them on making a statement. kimberly, i'm, we're talking in the sort of rome of hi paula seesaw hyperbole him may be that if mccarthy is still rejected time in time and time again. i mean, is there another republican candidate? i'm, you've mentioned a few names, ty, but would it be out of you know, out of all, all realms to think about the fact there is somebody else behind the scenes who could rally all the republicans behind them? well, there are a couple of ways this could play out. we've spent a few days talking about historically, how long this could go on, and historically it could go on for weeks, even months of. but what we do know is that realistically, there are 3 pathways. if you will, the 1st is that kevin mccarthy is likely to still be the speaker of the house. in

fact, we've already mentioned that he's moved his belongings into the speaker's office. he hasn't put up his name plate yet though as far as we know. and he has received a high profile endorsement. the latest for coming early in the wee hours of the morning here in washington from ilan mosque. very famous name on social media is saying kevin mccarthy should be the speaker. he only needs 4 more to get to that magic to 18 to become the speaker of the house. so he could try and convince democrats to support him if members of his own party won't. the other option is he could just give up. and another republican could step up and try and fill the role or again, the other alternative could be that ad democrat like has kim jeffries who is very popular. he could step up and there are republicans that like him. and that would really be historical and perhaps even another good compromise solution, given the fact that it would demonstrate to the american people that there really is a possibility for compromise in a divided america. but if it does go for weeks and months, kimberly,

i think we're gonna have to break up more than just the popcorn over the next her little bit of time. but for the moment. thank you. i agree. can we, how could i all white house correspondent? the kosovo says it still planning to get its ethnic served minority to surrender their serbian issued number plates. tension sled up between pristina and belgrade in over the power in over the plan. last year and prime minister, i've been curtsey told out there he's making a promises to serbia regarding the recent crisis. we have given a bit of time regarding implementation until spring this year. a because you want to give time for agreement between crossover and sonya, which is very much needed for normalization of relations. so as a goods gesture from our side, we have said we are not going to impose fines on those who

have these card plates until spring and i will never compromise with constitution and law. therefore, until spring we have given this time. and hopefully we can have an agreement beforehand. i believe it's fully doable. if there is a willingness from belgrade and especially intensify engagement by you and us. and you can see the full interview with the prime minister. of course there are albin county on saturday at $430.00 gmc was here on al jazeera now and $23.00 rebels of an hour there withdrawing from another town in the eastern democratic republic of congo. they say they're pulling out of a room on garbo. they are also announced last month that they would leave me by kimball, but not the d. r. c accuses rwanda of backing m 23. something that could golly denies. the conflict has false thousands. the people from their home since 2021.

patrick maria, tom, we is the minister of communication and media and government spokesman for the democratic republic of congo. he says rwanda is key to ensuring peace in the d. r. c. read or print or made by interstate following the passionate member movement. stop, even though it's not really what your plan is because it's strict sometimes by pushing that choice and respecting what we make. we make it over. we will go back to the word. is it most? i've given you what the commander at the end of the meeting are still going to trust the process and that we know the things must be very back in the ground. but we strong believe that gender. why not?

because he's the one acting beyond 23. we've seen respect to meet man we meant to get or order. we are missing a lot of the and following the recommendation made by all unit or countries starting the united nation, united states, french or spanish, or germany, or does country and then run on it as president, asking them who respect would they agree? on one the process, it beats back in the town, but believe that it will be done. that's the only way we can avoid using forces. as you know, the regional policies will make a report to different states and decide to go to the war we, the orders country, gerardo, new one on going back to tradition back year. one question is why and i asked to do what she has to do to make sure eastern by proper frances has led to

a funeral match for his predecessor pope emma ross's benedict, the 16th thousands of people gathered into peter's square to pay the final respect . he died in the street on saturday. the age of 95. benedict has been buried in a crypt, peters basilica in 2013. it was the 1st type to resign in 600 years after his health declined china. and since it's been transparent, been reporting on its cave in 1900 outbreak. the statement comes after criticism from the world health organization that says beijing is under stating the situation . china's foreign ministry says it has always shed relevant data with the international community. it's not one that kind of in 1900 death on wednesday. despite evidence of a serge infections. germany has become the latest country to require travelers from trying to take over 900 tests. the decision comes the day after the european union recommended those passengers get tested before flying to human. misstates officials

are also as you all travelers to wear masks. they say passengers should be randomly tested china plans to ease travel restrictions on sunday. despite the searching cases, that's overwhelmed hospitals, california governor has declared a state of emergency after a powerful storm contact 50 to thousands of homes in the north. roads have been flooded and trees are rooted in sacramento. authorities have told people to evacuate coastal areas vulnerable to mud slides. it's the 2nd storm to hit the west coast in the past week. now the charles has more from san francisco, california emergency officials say this round and form could be the most severe california has seen in the last 5 years with that, the expect a lot of flooding not only in the road, but also that would cause damage to homes, but their biggest concern right now they say is high wind that could get as high as 70 miles per hour in the mountains and along the coast. they say with that they

expect extensive power outages and also a lot of property damage. so they're asking people to stay off the road. a so called atmospheric river stole bearing down on northern california is also being felt in the neighboring state of nevada. the city of rena is blanketed in snow. the weather is not unusual. normally snowfall starts in february, the system has also brought much needed snow to ski resorts in the state, sierra mountains, whether present a car leg choices with low on the situation in the us. it just seems to be one incident after another hitting the u. s. that does seem to be the case sir hale. now this is the 2nd bon fi came to effect north america in about 2 weeks. the 1st one affecting eastern areas of the us and canada, cold as christmas to some they haven't seen that in a long time. but now it's a west coast is feeling the force of this storm is wanting to serious, but the most powerful in recent weeks. and that's after it intensified into what us

meteorologist term, a bomb by co nuts off the central air pressure dropped by about 2424 minute bonds in 24 hours. and it sort of explodes, bringing with a hurricane force winds, as well as to wrenching rain. now this one is also dealing with what's known as a plane apple express, that's an atmospheric river brought on by a jet stream from the cell. so we've got warm moist pulling in from places like hawaii and as that hits the land while we see more heavy rain. and we've already seen flooding across northern parts of california. this is wednesday night as it really swept in shore, bringing those conditions further in last thursday. we're going to see that rain drill all the way down to los angeles. we're likely to see some very strong gus damaging winds already have power outages. we will rein toto, which could lead to flash flooding in landslide. some of the the land has already been ravaged by wild flies and of course the snow, which is good news for the sierra snow cap. it could help dropped,

hit california. but that's yet to be seen for the immediate issue here is that slash flooding. and the bad news is that we're going to be more of this to come as that storm pulls away. we've got more rounds of rain coming in through the weekend, so no rest in fight for now. the hell know for now thanks very much. car. well still a had here on al jazeera west africa supplies ingredients for some sweet treats, but reports of child labor and leaving a bitter taste in school to lack of snow in croatia doesn't stop this us ski style from closing in on all time record those stories after the break, ah, for science it's the evidence is irrefutable. but america, climate change denial stubbornly mistrusted the fact. despite soaring temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves,

the world's largest economy still split along ideological lines. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid catastrophe? climate wars ought to on a jessia ah . with school. oh,

a book about what's going on there a nissan with me, the whole rom, the reminder of all top stories. israel has recently longest held palestinian prison and cream units had been in detention for 40 years. and gravy citizen who was convicted of killing an israeli soldier, the maryland heights. in 1983. the house of representatives is to convene for 3rd time to try and take a new speaker. republican kevin mccarthy has lost in 6 rounds of basics after hotline is from his own party, opposed to bid 2023 rebels to say that withdrawing from another town in eastern democratic republic of congo to pull out from and both parties. last announcements, the bankers with the par laid by can somebody, please me, a call back withdraw sham. take joined amazon is laying

off an additional $8000.00 people. that's after the company announced in november that it would cut $10000.00 employees. the reduction in staff is the largest in history. the company is what it calls the uncertain economy. sorry, inflation has for consumers to cut back whole spending. amazon share price is also lost up to half its value. the loss will impact its e commerce and human resources department. let's bring in don i's in your keys. the managing director analyst at wet bush securities could help you with us on al jazeera again. miss ives, i mean the alarm bells ringing at amazon, but they sort of jumping the gun when sort of, perhaps in the recession is on the cards. people might want to shop from home rather than go down to a very empty high street or a shopping bow book. i mean, essentially the clock struck midnight for app. you know, for apple, frank, amazon brothers, i think what you're seeing here with amazon in terms of big tak it's a hangover. busy pose cove, it and it to go into a, we're also

a darker macro. they got a cock cause ripped, a band aid off. this is a command span hyper group. they've been spending money like 1980 iraq stars. now my time during that in, in terms of where the cuts will be, we've heard that some will be sort of in administration areas. where do you think the cut should be? if we get to try and recoup or save money? i think it's really non strategic errors. you look it. oh actually you look at some of these projects that definitely growth is waiting pretty significantly there. i think they're going to continue to spend in cloud and all my pull back administrative and even some the e commerce era as well. this is the company under be users. they've got it built for hyper growth. and now alternately, you're seeing cracks. the armored demand softening in jazz. the ultimately, i think, is probably just tip of the iceberg to what we're broad are going to see across the tax piece course. to see you mention the andy jonesy trying to be very clear about how it's going to in effect staff,

there's also affecting the stock prices there. and when that happens, it makes the markets very uneasy. but i think ultimately we saw this with facebook when dr. berg pullback, spending a few months ago. i mean, investors wanna see these companies pull back spending, preserve margin, get ready for this category 5 store, and which, you know, like we will be short with. and you look at amazon and they need to course crack. and i think this is the right strategic poker move for jazz to do right now, rather than wait until it's to wait 69 months from now. do you think the people who actually work along side amazon the, the, the service providers, the, the manufacturers also that goods on amazon got to think twice about what the amazon is, the right vehicle for that product. games on the sensors, a monopoly. right. and i think ultimately it's one where they have the distribution is really unmatched. now clearly there's many competitors are going to try to gain

share here, even the broader e commerce with the walmart and others. so finally you see a window of opportunity here. they're going to, you know, in any commerce, it's really amazon's world that one else and paying rent. but now the parties over they need to caught up to, it's just been a decade. hyper group went to put the place that the shopping mall and the high st . if amazon is amazon and home delivery is going to sort of cut back in some sort of fashion, and then you seen a little more return to normalcy. i mean, you started to see more pack your story read towers. and i, why this is just during coven, you saw unprecedented growth, i'd say growth, that was a 70 pulled forward potential 34 years for the likes of an amazon. now you see more normalization and i think, you know, as this all starts to play out, it's really amazon that needs to make sure it's a tight room here,

investing in the future. but clearly demand softening. they need to get ahead of that. and that's why you're seeing jazz band aid off here and we could still see even more cards. we'll get salesforce dot com. we'll get neda. we'll get microsoft and others. i mean, we're seeing tech layouts across silicon valley. interesting times done thanks so much for joining us. from new york. okay. thank you. keisha is not a fully fledged member of the opinion, the country up to the euro and joined the board of re travels out on january the 1st. stephanie deca has been asking creations, how they feel about the open borders. it's off season and without the hordes of tourists that usually pack creations, coastline. there's a sense of stepping back in time just to 15 minutes, drive away the border with slovenia, here to a feeling of emptiness. but this is all about moving forward. crecia joined the open border shank in zone as of january 1st and it's being welcomed here. dennis is

a nurse who takes care of an elderly lady in italy working 15 days on and 15 days off. she's been crossing borders for 5 years. las and pressure. i was traveling through creature slovenia italy border, and every country had their own restrictions. we never knew what to expect on the borders, so this will be much better. it will make our lives easier. one up one up, and this is what it's all about. the freedom of movement, no more passport checks, identity checks, no waiting in line. the border guards have all gone. that's croatia straight ahead is lavinia. now it's only about getting on your way. no need to stop is still a novelty here. crecia joined the shank and zone on the same day it adopted bureau, which is now replaced its old currency, the colonel and her businessman. it's a more than welcome development. cloud has been importing and exporting good since 1995, he has seen crash again. independence joined the you and now this for him to it's

much better. we, for one of the library for these are up right the week, 1st after the freight forwarding service in italy than in slovenia. and then you went to kerisha. we had to sort taxes and lots of other small import costs. it lasted 8 hours some times. now you just go through. there are no issues in stopping at all. is sun sandra has now taken over the business. we ask him if he's emotionally attached to the old currency, the sooner as many people have told us, they feel it's a loss of identity. a place to be honest with you, not much. our business is over the waters. you visit all your markets, hotels invoice in the yellow arrows for yes, we are doing business, i'm thinking euros. it will be much easier now. this will make our business more fluid and our life easier for many here. now being a fully integrated member of the european union with open borders and a common currency is a good thing. despite some emotional attachments and early problems, as switching currencies, it seems in the long run,

memoir as that to be published next week. he says it's happened during an argument over thy worsting relationship. i reclaimed cyliam knocked him to the grounds in a fight in kensington palace in 2019 jed hollis standing by with the very latest stir from london. jonah, there are many twists and turns is worsening relationship between prince harry and the royal family are watching these latest revelations actually tell us what it comes in. the hotly anticipated autobiography of prince harry, of course, due for release next week, obtained a copy of it obtained by the guardian newspaper and splashed across the gardens from page detailing an incident that took place in 2019 between harry and his brother william. now prince of wales, of course, when the pair met on the grounds of the can kensington palace, his state to talk about their failing relationship. that had been wes thing in the

life to harry's marriage, to the u. s. sector megan market and then deeply negative public scrutiny of their marriage and of meghan, in particular, a meeting that harry writes descended at 1st into acrimony and then into violence. he says that william cold megan in the meeting, difficult rude and abrasive. he then says things got heated further describing how william grabbed him by the color, ripping his necklace and knocking him to the floor. apparently calling her cause invisible injuries to his back. it is, as you say, the latest revelation in a worsening relationship between the 2 brothers. this perhaps taking things a notch or 2 up describing actual violence between the air to the throne william the prince of wales and his brother, harry. of course, this all comes out of a book, it be interesting how this plays out and how buckingham palace reacts if they react

at all. well, the book itself will come out next week. buckingham palace hasn't said anything about the latest revelations and hasn't said much. recently about the sort of swirl of publicity ahead of the publication of this book called spare. of course, he is the spare, not the air to the throne, as the aristocratic saying goes, the palace apparently taking the view that it's better to try and whether they some hope that it all blows over. among the publicity has been a big netflix documentary over the christmas period, hugely lucrative. the couple that again, claims of racism against the role household previously denied. of course of talking about megan being on the verge of suicide after a miscarriage. following lots of that negative publicity, a sampling of sort of public response to the latest allegations and elicits the sort of views that it's not appropriate perhaps to a dirty family laundry. in public, in return to tens of millions of dollars in pay. and i think the ultimately the

question will be the extent to which the public engages with the latest allegations and decides to take the side of harry and megan or not as to whether these allegations do further damage to the role brand. and whether buckingham palace feels inclined to respond to that for the update. thanks very much, jeff hope force in london news center. thank you. well, still ahead here on the news on europe last unbeatable team, finally loses. who show you? how intense bo natalie's party initially? stuff the full story coming up with joe right after the break. ah, the news
