6:01 pm
cross from mexico into the united states. we report on the dangers of their journey thousands of refugees from the going to carol back arrive and armenia after as they by john takes control the the 1st us made abrams tanks arriving ukraine following presidential biden's promise to supply you with more state of the art weapons amalia schumann, truthfully bolivia, and prosecute the general all that the address of the federal court in some form of officials after the 1st of the 2 down in the eastern city of done shows thousands of people and on piece of same as though you're supposed to india, when they 1st crickets, goals, middle and an asian games, the women seem beach relented by 90 runs in the fine or how does that could be? the
6:02 pm
it is just past 1500 gmc and we start with the growing crisis at the southern order of the united states where a large number of asylum seekers is continuing to cross over from mexico. nearly 9000 people arrived on saturday alone. and that's what it looks like. the mayor of el paso says the border city is now a breaking point. while another city eagle pass has declared a state of emergency. mexico has an agreement with the west to deport migrants back to their home countries. in an effort to combat the surge of migrant number's houses, here is havi show. castro has been covering this story for a century joyce's from eagle pass and texas near the mexican border. hardy, yesterday, when we spoke to you, there was a stream, a regular stream of migrants coming in and finding their way through the barbed wire behind you. what are you seeing today? it is the same story still on repeat 0 and you can look right now we're back at the spot by the river that separates mexico on the other side in the united states
6:03 pm
where i'm standing and there are people who are still midway through this crossing . we're seeing a few on this little island that is separating the 2 banks of the river. this is where people tend to catch their breaths before they make it the rest of the way across the river, which is a little bit deeper. and then if you'll actually come closer to the shore where we're standing now, these are all the folks who arrived over night. i was just asking a couple of how long they've been there. so they had to sleep out here, underneath the elements and surrounded by razor wire without water without food. and they were told by us border patrol agents. they told me to just wait here until at some point perhaps rescue will come to take them to the border patrol centers for processing. and even as they wait more and more people arrive and it is the struggles that they are enduring. families with small children and people from all
6:04 pm
walks of life that has captured our attention of this family with a toddler and an infant is branded on a small island in the middle of the rio grande river. mexico is behind them. the united states is a head, but there's a problem. the water head gets deeper into children recently drowned here. the family is frightened. they turn around, back at the island. the toddler plays as the father considers his options. the arrival of more migrants emboldens him. there may be safety in numbers, more hands to catch small ones. if they're swept away and altogether, they cross wife with children. through this i ask for their futures. the answer, this is the scene on repeat in eagle past texas, the town experiencing a surge of unauthorized border crossings numbering up to the thousands daily. the us border patrol boats plus the water mostly observing the crossings. only
6:05 pm
intervening when someone's life may be at risk. this family has a disabled child who is struggling, a border patrol boat takes them to safety, everyone else confronts the next barrier. layers and layers of razor wire put here by the state of texas. washington has sued the state to remove the fencing due to humanitarian concerns. the border patrol is actually cutting through this wire because as, as you see there are asylum seekers, families there who are baking underneath the sun and trying desperately begging to be allowed. the rest of the way up, they are ready standing on us soil. they have a legitimate right to claim asylum here in this country. defense is meant to be a deterrent to force. the asylum seekers to turn around even now. but they don't. these men say they're from venezuela, fleeing political violence, and economy in shambles. tell them that it's we are so tired,
6:06 pm
but our goal was to reach the united states because this is the land of opportunity . what's behind them can only be worse than what they're facing. and what they're facing is, you know, 5 rows of causes here, wire piled higher than their heads. and you know, the arm guardsman with weapons coming under the many of these tired faces were smiles. this was a good day to have reached us soil. thus, despite the difficult asylum process ahead with little chances of success, this woman tells her daughter to say she's a warrior. guess what your name? i am the girl answers. how did you, castro out a 0 eagle pass, texas. heidi, how have things changed in the 24 hours or so since you put that report together, since you shot that footage a 0. this is incredible because this is actually the exact spot where we just showed you. and that story, that border patrol had cut
6:07 pm
a gap through this barbed wire for migrants to pass through. and as you can see, there is fresh brand new barbed wire that has been placed here to close back up that gap. so this is sort of, this is the response that we're seeing us border patrol will do one thing in a humanitarian way to get people out of the sign into the processing centers. and then the texas controlled national guards will come right back in and do that work and closing up the gap. and that is leading to real consequences. the people that we were just talking to you about having staying here overnight because they arrived shortly after we put together that story you just saw. and they spent the entire night here in the dark, exposed to the elements, and they're still waiting as a sun has come back up. now it's approaching again a 100 degrees fahrenheit, and they're without water and they can't get past the spend and has again been put
6:08 pm
back up. so such as the flight that they're enduring. and of course, potentially it will only be get worse. that's what everyone is predicting here as thousands more. my friends are waiting for their opportunity to be in the position that these migrants are they cross the river. they're here. i think there everyone is alert now because they just heard the sounds of the us border patrol boat that may just pass them by or maybe will actually stop and invite them aboard to take them safety. heidi, a question about this group. if they don't find a way through the barbed wire or if nobody cuts it for them like like they did yesterday, and you showed me a report where did they go there? i'm having a little hard time hearing you. i think i heard you ask about question about the barbed wire and just to explain it a little bit further because it is confusing. we have one us agency
6:09 pm
that is actually of the way but they haven't instructed not to stop. and we have seen people step in, we have seen us us agents step in when there appear to be very obviously children who are at risk people who are obviously a medical distress. but i don't want to speak too soon. they may be coming back to rescue them, but it appears that this doesn't qualify as enough distress and the eyes of the us border patrol according to their instructions. right, heidi, i don't know if you can still hear me with the boat, but assuming they managed to make it to the other side of the barbed wire,
6:10 pm
then what happens to them? your report said this is going to be a hard process and they may not be successful. that's right, they will be taken to a processing center, which is actually just underneath a bridge. i saw a packet of water waiting for people. there are bathrooms, their snacks. so there is, there are the resources available once they somehow get past the razor wire to reach those resources. but yes, then the journey ahead of them is still very difficult in the terms of navigating the legal landscape of the united states. because in order to claim asylum, and in order to plead their case before asylum judge, that takes months if not years because of a backlog. and there is so, even before they get to that point, they have to prove that they may have a chance of prevailing in their asylum claim. and if it's determined, they don't even have
6:11 pm
a chance at all by us asylum officers were here at the border. then they immediately are turned around to be deported to their home countries. and it's hard to get transparency from the us government about this, but from the numbers in previous years, it somewhere like less actually make it to the point of, of submitting and assign them quite. so the vast majority of people who we've been meeting through these last few days, they will not have that chance because they do, they will be deemed unqualified. they will not have the qualification to uh, get asylum under us law. and they will be sent home. all right, if you're just joining us, you are watching live footage of the rio grande, which is the physical border between mexico and the southern united states that the house was yours, heidi's, old castro reporting and the people you just saw there on the other side of the barbed wire are migrants that asylum seekers trying to make it into the us currently stuck behind the concertina wire. heidi,
6:12 pm
thank you very much for your reporting. within 3000 refugees have so far crossed into our media from the gore know camera back and follows as a by johns decision to type needs group on the region of to last week ceasefire with ethnic or median fighters. year of on says it's preparing to take in tens of thousands more who may sleep the election card or between our media and the board account back open to earlier this week to let in humanitarian aid and allow safe passage for those who want to leave to reach the sound events of aid reports from the election border crossing in azerbaijan. there's been a city circle of people leaving the kind of a region. they say that it is no longer for it's safe for them to stay here. and they have to go and they've been packing whatever they could on top of they causing their boots and which ever vehicle they could use if you've been seeing the trucks coming in have you've seen cause via see lori's. we've seen everything that they
6:13 pm
could possibly use to pack whatever they can. and obviously it is not just the either by johnny to instead of there as well as the thing i mean is, is all being insured by russian peacekeepers. as you can see in the trucks. in the distance that they are also being patrolling this area at the showing their presence in both sides of this border crossing and telling people that they are okay to go. they have to write any government on that spot has been telling people that they should stay if they want to, but it is up to them, but they want to stay or leave. many people feel that because of the 3 decades of animosity between these 2 sides, it is going to be difficult for them to stay and they're not believing guarantees that are being given to them. as you saw, these cause have been checked, their names registered mail in passages who are not. the drivers are off to get off the cause they disembarked. they go through this processing beyond not crossing is
6:14 pm
armenia. that's where people are heading into knots where they're trying to find refuge. we've spoken to some of them whose feel that it is not going to be easy sending the side that they have to leave everything behind. but the few that there is no other option for them, but to leave the newborn no car boss. the reason for joining we know from back who is matthew brice or the former us mediator in the going to care about conflict? also a former us ambassador. it's as or by john, as or as a by john has been telling ethnic armenians that they can stay in the going to car back, that they will be safe. they will be protected, your thoughts on that to? well, i can't understand why it's, you know, that's like our media and what would be worried about what could happen? you know, there was a hor, horrendous bit of ethnic cleansing in the 1st phase of this complex when $800000.00 or by johnny's were forced to leave their homes. and so i could understand if you're in our union on the other side now you'd be nervous, but i also have to say in my 21 years working on this complex either in government
6:15 pm
or in st times like now the also by johnny perspective on this one issue has been consistent, which is that the goal is to get to a peace agreement that will allow the armenian community to remain and allow them the hazard by johnny's to come back to their old places, the presidents and the neighbors again with the army unions. there are ongoing negotiations right now between us or by john and the ethnic armenians of the going to car back to decide what the future is going to be of this region. of course, as the by john intends for it to be completely as or by johnny. they've said this, they said they've re getting full control, but we're talking about how ethnic armenians are going to continue to live there. if they're going to continue to live there, etc. etc, does armenia neighboring or media have any leverage over what happens in these talks? you know, our media really has no leverage anymore and has no way to re insert the military forces than it has kept in that region of cairo box. since the end of the 2nd quarter, about 4, which by the way, it was
6:16 pm
a violation of the ceasefire statement. it has no leverage. and looking back at also by john i just said, you know, that as or by john's ambition has been too heavy. armenians feel safe enough, but that's going to be a tall order, right? as are by john's going to now have to is the say, walk the walk in, proved that their rhetoric is sincere. and it may be that there needs to be some sort of observe or mission or peacekeeping new kind of peacekeeping mission, that's not just rushing but international that provides jeremy and community sense of security. but in terms of leverage, not really. our media really doesn't have any leverage that has the force of the more or worse of making sure that the world is watching, and that it's an a kinsman. and kim's women are treated according to 2 international human mall. right. so you mentioned the antibodies on is going to have to prove to ethnic, armenians, indigo, and encounter back that it is sincere. that is precisely the argument that they've been making to us when they come on our shows the last few days they're saying as
6:17 pm
the by john isn't sincere and they have a track record of not keeping their promises. what do you said about to i'd say i understand why people in this situation would think that i, i, in my experience it hasn't been the case that as or by john hasn't kept it's, it's pledge is uh, for example, the ceasefire statement at the end of the 2nd quarter by 4 actually also by john hassle, looked up to those uh those commitments. and i was relieved to see that at the end of the war, the us are by johnny side chipped of slowing at that time. humanitarian need and natural gas to the median population as it was evacuating. and i can only pray that that, that sort of behavior continues now, but i understand why they're years consternation it's, it's only natural in that situation. right? and then the ethic arming is just the context, save it since the end around the end of last year. they've been blockaded by the as or by johnny's that some basic goods haven't been coming in, etc. so, can the russians be honest? well, brokers,
6:18 pm
i don't know if it's the right word because they also by johnny is the same. he's a bilateral talks with the armenians that the russians are not brokers of these talks. but can they, can this force that the russians have on the ground guarantee, the safety and your view of the ethnic armenians? i know it probably can mean there 3000 russian troops. their mandate is to go into those places and azerbaijan, from where the or median troops withdraw. so your media troops had not yet withdrawn in this past week. so the russian troops had no way to go in and provide any sort of protection best not to the mandate of a peace. keep for peacekeepers that a peacemaker, a peacemaker, comes in and after the piece has been established and hopefully that piece has come . but i think that for, for the ethic armenian community to feel comfortable, as i said a few moments ago, there probably needs to be some sort of other international observe formation in may be of the always c, e,
6:19 pm
or peacekeepers at least until us or by john has done what i said, i hope it will do, which is to prove that any sincere it sits in this whole process is going to require a lot of dialogue step by step, trust, building and natural examples of life getting better for those armenians who remain behind the hill, it seems like maybe the process has begun because now we see that the luncheon board or is fully open. we see that the, the leadership of the community and community is no longer rejecting humanitarian any that comes from the answer. but john, aside from the office dispute as was the case before us or by john was offering assistance from the city of dom and the local community said, no, well, for political reasons, we're not going to accept it. i think we're getting past all that now. but again, it's going to be a long process up in the go shooting times. and to that point that you made about maybe a need for an outside force. that is something that our media actually advocated for the un general assembly just earlier this week. but so far, the move,
6:20 pm
the needle doesn't seem to move down that matthew rises at joining us from back. who today? thank you very much. thank you, sir. are planning morehead on the news hour will be telling you why the military leadership in molly has postponed elections that is scheduled for february and the us, as accused of failing to compensate their rockies detained, and tortured the edits infamous, i'm great prison and elsewhere. the a 9 year old skateboarder goes to gold at the asian games. peter stomach will have the details coming up. for the the 1st us made abrams tanks have arrived in ukraine. president followed him. your zalinski says they will reinforce keys, armor and brigades, but he didn't specify how many tanks he received. washington has to force applied
6:21 pm
to a $113000000000.00 in defense and humanitarian aid to ukraine, since russia's invasion last year. we're drawing now from key by saying bas robbie, saying, what is this supposed to change on the battlefield? these tax well, this is what is the most heavy duty pieces of equipment that ground units will be receiving so far from the united states. joe biden pledged 31 abrams tanks earlier this year. they were supposed to be here sooner during it. so excuse trip in new york, she promised that the 1st delivery would be happening this week. and now the ministry of defense on president, someone's be confirming that the 1st set of terms have now arrived what they're expected to change. well, there are some problems there a lot more difficult for the previous operate compared to the european counterparts european terms of different using their more difficult to keep the old and
6:22 pm
maintained. so we can look to what truly the head of military intelligence has said in response to their arrival. they will be used specifically for well crafted plans . don't want to lose these tags. they're, they're not as numerous as much of the other equipment that they have received. so we are likely to see them, perhaps not used to punch through russian lines. this is the effort right now in places like sacraments, that we are likely to see them perhaps used in the south of the country with the terrain. a slot well suited to these types of fascinating vehicles and strong fire and power. probably not used to place the russian lines, but they are likely to be used to take and hold positions of the ukrainians are hoping to get ahold of in the coming days. and weeks zane, something else i'd like you to comment on ukraine says that it killed the commander of russia's, lexi fleets and a missile strike last week. now you had alerted us to this that there were reports, but at the time they were unconfirmed. this reportedly happened during an attack on the black sea fleet headquarters in sylvester pole that's in russian controlled
6:23 pm
crimea. and now it is being officially claimed by ukraine that they did indeed killed the commander of the fleet zane. it is true, this would be a major not just symbolic, but also strategic tactical victory for you. great. that is correct. the of the commander of the black, safely to visiting already is, is, is a major blow to the rest of the forces of nature. when you premium side, it's, it's fair to ask how the premiums could have such detailed information, such confirmation of such a senior figure in the russian military hierarchy having been killed in this attack on friday. booting off pointed earlier in the week on friday when this attack happens, that they have assets on the ground operational assets and help them to carry out a timing accurate strike on a meeting of senior officials at the headquarters of the box. so they pointed this
6:24 pm
information, they said they would update with the desktop. they've helped a number of people killed from the, in the attack to 34 officers as well as a 105 people who didn't the buildings. and they have said that their offers on the ground have confirmed that the apple of the black sea was killed in this attack. but again, this is according to the premium sources. the russians have not confirmed his death at this stage. yeah, we're going to double check that with you your shop a while ago, who was in moscow for his name is robbie and key. thank you very much, julia. what have the russians said or not set about this? the whole basically, the russian side has no common sense built into that. so they come around the block, c, f leads. we're still waiting to hear from the government, me to transfer shows on the sure as well. remember ryan, to answer the fries outside calling do fleet headquarters. the russian defense ministry immediately reported one dad and then corrected it to one missing
6:25 pm
serviceman. and since that, that have been no updates on the number of casualties, we can presume that the last night, so cold retaliation strikes on the a desa pools and the desk, the hotel where the ukranian defense system had reportedly been installed. so those latest revenge strikes could indirectly confirmed the speculation about the possible top rank and casualties in the front of the headquarters at the time. it's also interesting, they got a notice of us toll spoke about the on touch to buy fund icon of a 0 or shut cold, which device that's how go according to the governor. also that time the icons wooden frame go bunch completely, but the image of the saints, the vine dental is not touched by the file. so the government reported that the damaged part of the headquarters building had been demolished by control blasting. and at the moment, we don't hear anything about the rec construction process that it's,
6:26 pm
it's west nursing during any minute show for asians who will sign deliberately release incorrect information about each other's action. so it is always very hard to figure out, well, the tree of phase really? yeah, no, you look, you're absolutely right. and always bears repeating to our viewers. this is a war. so of course, anything that that either side can use to get an edge. they probably will do it, and if that saying something that isn't true, it happens every day. you're shotwell, of a reporting from us. go, thank you very much. i to france is withdrawing its own bastards and easier and ending all defense cooperation after weeks of tension with the military gentle presidency mentor and mac homeless. as the troops will withdrawal by the end of the year, new jersey military, which seized power in a coup in july, his welcome to move, calling it a step towards sovereignty. also zeros for the will of dura. zach has more from the army, the auto rice at a sudden see emmanuel might cut off the decision by french president emanuel mac from to pull out. his troops and basset up from the jet was met by huge relief and
6:27 pm
celebration among the supporters of these asthma that you're young. this has been quite visible in the capital yamma and across the country. people here see this decision is a positive step by the french government to the demands they have, like, even before the crew of july 26, i spoke to many citizens who said they now believe the government is on this side, which was the number one demand by protest, as of the time president mohammed presume, was asked you now people believe the internet has had the demands of not only the masses, but also organizations and agencies in the country, the military leaders and welcome to backgrounds decision as the fruit of new jazz people struggling and cooling on the citizens to continue in that quest until total independence and sovereignty restore them up. kind of differential withdrawal from these here is the most recent sign of is waiting influence across west africa. in august last year, the last of the french troops stationed in molly left. they've been there for 9 years to assist in the fight against armed groups, while french military operations and working
6:28 pm
a fast so officially ended in february of this year. and earlier this month and the 0 molly and burkina, faso formed a mutual defense packed warning against foreign interference. all 3 nations are under military leadership after recent cruise. let's talk to emanuel quickly adding director of research and coffee and an international peacekeeping training center. you are joining us from accurate today, and it's great to talk to you again. so the, the fresh troops were in the 0 to help fights armed groups. what will happen to that fights once they're gone as well the, the way the j to help support says you by adding groups who the sharing white heart was supposedly what we do we, they have a track record of fighting arm groups in the region. why supposedly not going to happen as it has been a disaster from when president in me, said he, at this phase terrace, the end result for them to spread on the short bridges. and those are the french
6:29 pm
strep square foot on the south bridge. it is one of the disastrous intervention and not to be helped bring their countries which they have been stationed. so this is the control effort and the security situation in the general is that good success for the military routine? are you suggesting that the fight against the arm groups in the region could actually benefit from the withdrawal, the french soldiers, the french prisoners have much improved their living. spend that some of the security of any of their countries, english. they have to form the, i think we should in to see about these. well, they were there at the beginning. that is, and there are there for counter insurgency. same, there is security. it also improves lives from. that's probably what you're going to see about helps this military corporate. she and i agree, man, i'm not. but the benefit of the recipients that they are for the benefits of the
6:30 pm
ritual part of the time or the metro pals. and that is why you guys re re joyce meant in me, i mean, because the military regime has been for the bus that is leaving. and i think that that sent to us. and now of the service of this tuition in the hill that each government's assistant on for the best of interest they will get. yeah, we would, i think this agreed to the people, the french soldiers requesting the french soldiers of leaving. but the american soldiers are staying and they'll continue doing what they were doing previously. what your thoughts on that was is the most chaves that in our apartments will cut corners and cutting deals. when did susie, i'm assuming that mirror comes later talk just because language that's getting out
6:31 pm
of jeremy and his team progress and that will be well not really drugs. the i pointed a new i bus at the beach has not been set up here, but i'm merge comes from best down the minds of the people on the ground across the southern region. and they want to be a part of the tech center for me to us. you know that, that just coordinating it just respectful. it does quite finish. well, that logic and i do always find a way to do business with people who are in the french. i've lost all that good stuff. mccrae. i've been most kids at the assistant. i wrote this in listening to the voices from the drum. okay. you know what? so we've been talking about the french, let's forget about the french, because they are effectively history in the region, right. as we detailed the less motley, they're no longer in working in the fall. so in any significant way, and they're going to leave new share. what about the people of those countries, whether it's molly burkina, faso, a new share?
6:32 pm
those are 3 countries that are deeply heavily destabilized by the arm groups that are operating in the control parts of their sovereign territories. or the people in those countries going to live better and are they going to get more security with the governments that are now in place led by qu, leaders. this is the process, this process and it's going to take time. i am not worried but didn't overtime. is that a yes or no over time? there's going to be security over time. but there's also not forget that is this trip of discipline. to me, it's also demonstrative the terms when they're federal goals of themselves, been the church. let me just talk to security. so what is happening in books in our 5? so in my, the, we'd come up refrain from thinking, who are those who are given this, this,
6:33 pm
this new church. ok. emphasis. drew back. that's out. that come over. it's just not just, i'm in the sense expansion of, you know, the bombing extreme is, oh, the you know, forces, instinct and that made use redeems. why provide you new logistics? what go by the new, the term, the guess? and also want to, or there's going to be stuff glitchy that's going to be gross. that's going to be that type resilience and covered interest are going to grow. i have no doubt at all that what is troubling you. these countries are a reflection of the product that more they chose to products kind of game that just be complete because these governments all for the all right, i need to find out when people know what to do, right? wrong stuff, and the j i showed us that there, you can, i mean, actually the manual requests,
6:34 pm
the ending director of research should be coffee and an international peacekeeping training center. thank you for joining us today. i'm still a head on alpha 0. hollywood writers reached a tentative agreement with big studios in there, months long strikes, but there is no t o, yes, for active. and again, in the top steps, we get the band enough to fans flow layers onto the pitch. that's coming up with peter, stem it in sports, and they did this. the system a little boat isn't mechanical or even that self driving train the vehicle. but androids today can be deliberately humanoid robots, like, me, will be everywhere else. is here a documentary which to the lead on the weird and wonderful world of learn think and even trust. i feel like i'm a life,
6:35 pm
but i know i on the machine origins of this is sessing the discussions as agents. we used to say that about 15 percent of what you're smuggling is going to die. examining the headlines, where's the central population is responsible for 50 percent emissions, which has created this crisis, exploring abundance of 12 clause programming, designed to inform, move to face. and inside the way my story was, i felt that it was important. i give facts on algebra. the the the, you're watching else,

funding for infrastructure projects, maritime cooperation, particularly when it comes to illegal fishing that takes place in that region. we also know that there are going to be a couple of big announcements when it comes to diplomatic relations between the united states, the cook islands, a new way, some of the embassies established. and also we know when it comes to technology that there's going to be a big announcement in terms of under c, cabling that's going to be announced to. so this is really the united states saying look, we're going to work with you. we're going to bring some technology to the region, but really this is all about china and really the united states saying, we want to get in there before china does. what's the us is current standing with pacific leaders? because not everyone is chosen to attend the summit a hey, exactly right. and so this is a little bit awkward for united states because even is there and establishing an
6:39 pm
embassy in the solomon islands. well, the leader of the prime minister isn't here, and that's awkward. in fact, he was the un general assembly in new york just last week. but he used to speech to praise china, not the united states, the same time as policies are a lot less restrictive than the united states. so we like that better. and that's really kind of embarrassing to the, by the ministrations. so this is getting off to a bit of a rough start for the us. still, they're going to continue to offer security guarantees and economic cooperation and say, look, if you work with us, we think this is the better partnership. but still, this is going to be difficult for the united states because the big elephant in the room is china and that is a lot to compete with. so there is some geo political wrangling going on in the united states is certainly going to have to make its case. all right, crystal clear. kimberly how get reported from the white house. thank you very much . now joe biden has praise

a poor to point out that we actually haven't seen all of the details yet of this tentative agreement. but what we're hearing from various sources is that the writers did get an agreement for increased compensation, particularly when it comes to shows on the streaming platform streaming becoming wildly popular just in the last few years. now, also a minimum staffing writers have been wanting to get some sort of agreement that there would be some minimum staffing and they have appear to reach an agreement on that. and also, and this was key. there appears to be some concessions from the big studios are about artificial intelligence. so of course, there was concern by the writers and artificial intelligence could take away some of their jobs. and there appears to be some concessions on that in terms of protecting their jobs as well. again, we'll have to see this entire agreement in full before we can get all of the
6:42 pm
