has been done before trying to be done. as long as a human being is doing it, you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see the vision is keywords you to the us sense. thousands of weapons sees from yvonne to ukraine in a move that raises legal questions. the lu, i'm free back to boy. you're watching out a 0 life my headquarters in the also ahead to us republicans joined the race to become the next house speaker after kevin mccarthy. was removed in the historic votes, outrage and arrest softer also orthodox jews as to who i'm speaking of christians

and occupied these tools. i'm just actually popular in paris where the french governments declared a war on the the united states has confirmed its transferred seize arms and ammunition from yvonne to ukraine. the u. s. navy captured them last year when it stopped to state list fast. so it said the ship was carrying supplies from yvonne to who the rebels in yemen. washington says this navy has been intercepting vessels used by avon to ship weapons throughout the year. experts have questioned the legality of the move, but the us and since the transfer was carried out lawfully patty cole. haine has more from washington. the $1100000.00 rounds of ammunition might sound like a lot, but experts say looking at the burn rate just how fast to create the military's going through munition. this would maybe supply several days of an munition to

about 2000 machine guns. the justice department did do a court finally, when they moved to take these weapons from a rad is listed other equipment that they've confiscated. naming 9000 rifles, 284 machine guns, 194 rocket launchers and over 70 guided missiles. now pedagogy won't confirm this, but it does seem quite possible. it's not likely that those will also be such a ukraine. soon. it was the one issue with these weapons as they're really old. so analysts say they don't expect them to really even be used on the front lines and maybe not necessarily changing the course of the offensive as of right now. now, as the state department at the white house, they were asked repeatedly, is this even legal in the legislative language authorizing the department of defense's ukraine security assistance initiative, which they of course, i'm sure it would be happy to speak to you more about the secretary of defense is authorized with the concurrence of the secretary of state to make available to the

government of ukraine, weapons, and other defense articles from the united states and other sources. and this obviously is one of those other sources obviously changed into focus there on what legal in the united states. now we did ask united nations for comment and they didn't have one technical hang out to 0 washington. let's speak to david darrell. wish about this. he's a former pentagon director of the arabian peninsula f, as in professor right now, the national defense university. thank you for joining us, mr. jerome, shift from washington dc. so the bottom administration, i understand, has for months being way, how to legally send the cc randian weapons. because the questions, as we heard today about the legality of such a transfer under international law, the u. n. requires these weapons to be destroyed or store. so what legal authorities, if the us use to facilitate the strengths, i don't think that you want to require someone to be destroyed. um, well, uh as a,

as this has been going on for quite some time. this is just the 1st time its been publicized. so over the summer we saw photographs of randy and borders being used by ukrainian forces. basically there is a us sanctioning as transferring weapons to the agencies. so if you want to have a case in law, the legal experts that were missing from your previous report was the uranium saying, hey, this is our stuff we want it back. they haven't said that because they would be admitted to assign actions, violation. so in effect of weapons are state less and the us, not just us, but also french and australia forces were seized weapons on the high seas, from stainless vessels that are being transferred in violation. it's pretty much up to them to do what they want to do. with them, um, i think that why we're seeing this now is basically to sort of provide protection against of possible future reading and claim for indemnification, or just to publicize it to let people know that it's not just us taxpayer dollars.

ready we're supporting the print head has this happened before? well, as i said over the summer, so 1st off, there's been a lot of seizures, you know, throughout the ukranian war. we don't know where those weapons have been going to. that have been seized from off the coast of human, but over the summer we saw evidence of what we saw photographs of rainy and mortars being used by ukrainian forces. so presumably those, those came from earlier seizures. so 1100000 munition to ukraine. what do you make of this? is that going to be not for about health and leave is some of the shortages and ukrainians a set to be currently experience. it's not really. i mean, what they'll do is, um, you know, the rifles, for example, some of them are trying to use rifles, they're old, where they're raining and copies of chinese and russian rifles. what these will probably do is go to rear security forces police people away from that that need to

be armed, but don't have a high probability of battle and they'll free up more valuable resources, better built because of rainy and fire and attrition. they are not very good, a better built resources that can go to the front line troops, so it's more about freeing up stuff for, for a front line combat. you alluded to this a short while ago, u. s. military assistance. of course, as we know, has been vital for ukraine's war effort, but it's also created a lot of friction and tension in the us congress with conservative members of the republican party opposing more funds to ukraine. how much longer do you seeing the west end? the us can continue to support ukraine, especially considering the political consequences of such a decision. we've seen also this week and still voc here, for example. the provincial candidate fail promise not a single round of assistance to creating winning at the election. now do you think the binding administration can continue to fund this for yeah,

i think i'm glad you raised that point because this is not understood. there's a very small group of people who want to um, cut off support ukraine. totally. there are a minority within a minority. the bigger issue is people are saying, why are we funding ukraine? this is considered a republic square. we funding ukraine and keeping our south west border open immigration. they're trying to tie the 2 issues there. i don't think there's a popular movement or a wide spread movement for a band and even ukraine, but i think what they're saying is that we need to have, you know, of more at home security issue addressed as well apps. so thanks for raising that right. and just coming back finally to the war in ukraine, and the radian weapons being used to me, you talked about, of course, these weapons coming in from the americans to ukraine. but we've also seen the russians using uranian made weapons in ukraine. and the iranian kamikaze drawings, for example,

do you see this having an implication for the rush that you've on relationship? i don't think so. i mean, uh, i think that russia realizes that, you know, this is a relatively minor amount of weapon reading the grand scheme of things and that iran didn't intend for the weapons to be seized. um, you know, basically this is a standard weapon package that ran the eclipse of proxy forced with it. iran syria elaborate on you haven't. so i think maybe the russians will, as a sidebar say look, you be need to be more careful about this stuff. but this isn't gonna have much of a battlefield impact. thank you so much for talking to us david, to rush in washington dc. thank you for your time. thank you. it's not to us republicans have announced the candidacy to become the next speaker of the house of representatives after kevin mccarthy was ousted from the position on tuesday. jim jordan and steve salise has put themselves for to fill the vacancy us present. joe biden has call for an end to divisive politics. for the day,

we need to change the poisonous emissary. wash, you know, we have strong disagreements, but we need to stop seeing each other's enemies see, to talk to one another, listening while i work. and we can do that. i joins with minority leader jeffers, just shoot me a jeffries and saying that our republican colleagues remain committed to working on a bipartisan fashion. we were prepared to do it as well. i'll just here as ross and jordan as well from capitol hill, of the members of the house of representatives were supposed to be back in their home districts for the next couple of weeks. but now that kevin mccarthy has been kicked out of the speaker seat, the next week is going to be for congressional republicans to try to figure out who should be the next speaker of the house. at least 2 people have now come forward to say that they want the physician, steve scully's, who is the current majority leader for house republicans based his announcements in

the past couple of hours. while earlier on wednesday. jim jordan, who is the chair of the judiciary committee, said that he too was going to try to run for the top position. the big challenge for sco lease and for jordan. and for anyone else who decides to run for speaker is whether they can actually unify enough republicans behind them in order to help us with ease of conference. a going ahead with out that they could find themselves in the same position that kevin mccarthy was in making promises to disparate groups, promises that can't be reconciled and running the risk of losing the position if thing and gauge and compromise, which used to be the buzz word on capitol hill, rosalyn jordan elders era. capitol hill. james davis is a republican strategists. he says that divisions between house republicans or damaging the white a party. and they have such

a slim. it's already there that it makes it very difficult. it's not like the majority that nancy pelosi had uh and you know, they had detractors on that side with the squad and they would publicly fuse and go at one another. but she was able to keep the house together to govern. and um, and i think that's really the challenge that republicans have with us one majority here. and so it's going to be quite difficult job overall more over. you know, i'm not really sure that you know, the assets here in washington is, is something that, or that alternately benefits the republican party. i don't really understand the strategy of behind the house being here. it week is the brand of the republicans going into an election year. uh, so we need a united or you can come together, bring a different constituencies together and govern because that's what the people expect . and when we get back to governing and talking about the issues that people care about by nomics,

it's not as effective in their pocketbooks. the republicans have an upper hand. ultimately. uh, you know, democrats left mccarthy out to drive. and again, you know, you have 2 options here because when you're governing it with a slight majority, you either work across the part of you on to develop a constituency that can move a governing for it, right at all costs. we needed to keep an eye open. the government was as an imperative. as in other words, news is really forces have confronted palestinian use. east of nablus. cindy occupied westbank, the palestinians. bronx rose as soldiers, a score to these really settlers to perform rituals at joseph. so is there any forces, fi to a gas and found bombs that the palestinians and 5 people have been arrested by is really police after they were film spitting at christian pilgrims, the videos have gone viral on social media platforms, funking condemnation from the government, and religious leaders, while reynolds re, for some occupies chosen ultra orthodox jews,

spin toward christians carrying across an occupied east jerusalem this week. an act of religious hatred igniting a scandal in israel and beyond. other videos also widely seen on social media, showed jews spitting toward nuns outside a church and get another where jews spit edit church door way is rarely police say they have arrested 5 people. one a minor in the latest incident. prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemn this bidding attacks. but religious leaders including the top roman catholic, cardinal in jerusalem, say their concern over a rising number of anti christian acts in israel. some alternate nationalist and settler leaders, se spitting ad or near christians and churches is a legitimate jewish tradition with a long history. meanwhile,

more than 1400 ultra nationalist and settlers entered the all. ok, so mosque complex on wednesday under is really police escort. they're seeking to establish a clear jewish presence in one of as long as holy as places. non muslims are allowed entry on certain days of the week and at certain times, but not allowed to pray. but some parties in that's an yahoo is right wing government want to up in the decades long status quotes to allowed jewish prayer at the site. a confrontational move, the palestinian officials say would lead to an explosion of violence. the nearby is really police told palestinian shopkeepers near the entrance to all oxer to close their businesses 4 hours each day during the current week long jewish club holiday . so that ultra orthodox jews could pray as close as possible to the site.

despite the tents that the spirit, no serious incidents of violence have been reported in the city in recent days. rob reynolds, l. g 0, occupied east jerusalem. european union leaders are on their way to estimate in granada spain as a by johns offensive in the novato kind of by region migration. and the expansion will be high and the agenda sonya de go looks had to watch that sake up against the backdrop of the city saying to being one of the greatest centers of european is womach civilization. and for fostering a sense of coexistence between communities. european union lead has a meeting to discuss ongoing issues as well as leaders from the european political community. but they are already signs of strains of a differences of opinion, the precedence of as i've been gone. and i mean, you have already cancelled plan talks since buck, who's takeover of the new toner car by region. european diplomats have hoped that

they would be some movement on certain key issues. even fostering perhaps a broad up peace treaty, but that's now been postponed. there's also the issue of sweden's entry into nato tacky and hungry have yet to rectify that treaty in that respect to parliament. and that's of course not forget the issue of immigration, the italian prime minister, georgia, maloney has been very vocal over this issue. especially over the recent spike of arrivals in on documented migrants from the north african coast. this has been an issue that schools have been playing out in eastern europe as well with poland, slovakia, and hungry, restricting them to reduce and limits the amounts of on documented people arriving from the balkan route. the decision to restrict movement between these board as well as the ongoing anti immigrant rhetoric from sudden leaders is costing a shadow over the events and making it more difficult to encourage an atmosphere of

tolerance here over the course of the next 2 days. so any that jago alj a 0 grenada, still head on out to 0 revelations, in quotes donald trump civil drives, the phone enters a 3rd day. and the 21st since peter walls cops is set to take place across 3 continents, and a unique arrangement. the brought to you by visit castle. i had a lot of i, let's have a look at the weather across north america and it's a stormy situation across central parts of the us and canada. we could see some severe thunderstorms running across places like texas as well as oklahoma. we could see some flash flooding in areas from that system. it stretches all the way up

portugal and morocco to continue that competition. i, i think it's a complete disaster to be quite honest with you. and the more that we've talked about, having players get more rest or trying to adjust calendars to have player not breakdown due to health issues. well, that ends up kind of being thrown out of the window because we see logistically how much of a problem this is. and it is a really looking almost as a populace move by feet in order to a piece, certain people and keep majorities happy with what's what they have in store. the french authorities are scrambling to confuse over any infestation of bed bugs across paris. it suspected the parasites a wide spread on public transport, which is thought to be encouraging that transmission to private homes is a major concern for international visitors and for the government ahead of the 2024 . and begins at tasha butler, a for some paris paris is one of the wells most popular tourist destinations

vaulted, some allegedly being in a day to buy some unwelcome visitors, bed bugs cooling and public transport and some cinemas, hotels, and homes. right. you see, there's maybe even 15 of them in the lots of really tiny ones with less than a year until the power. so the big games, the french governments on the pressure to eradicate the default once we have to take each case seriously and not fall into a panic. and we need to make it clear that there is no upsetting but we are responding and checking each case on the law. some people very well all taking the child says sales of antique bed products and the city has risen by 30 percent of all it's true that we've been hearing a lot about it on the radio and tv. so i prefer to buy the products and prepare my flat, just in case it's not any parisians who are worried about bed bugs. some international visitors are also concerned about what they might take home among the thousands of

rugby funds or in from the world comp. i'd be concerned so we just need to keep an eye as i suppose. i be a bit reluctant to be sitting on seats for i don't need to be sitting. so spend on the metro. i'm pretending it's not happening because our hotels fine right now. so . but we have had a friend from home text us and ask us whether we've seen bed bugs, bed bugs, all know to leave of human blood. they bite schools, itching scientists, say washing, take styles, and high temperatures, using steam. in fact, human can get rid of them. ccc method, you cannot. if you do this ms sorta key and meticulously, you've decontaminated your room and just one moment, all those fragile socrates step up the back to look into bed bugs. the who pays the people in paris will be able to sleep tight. i know that the bed bugs bite, natasha butler. i'll do 0 powers.
