the, the business leg just is free to you, i guess is an ice fly on one of your just makes model and plates the, the services in use our on l. g 0. i'm 40 back people live in to coming up in the next 60 minutes. a game of football turns deadly israel attacks of school for disgrace palestinians in southern gaza across the strip 76 spot us to me and just been killed. it's as deadly as the recent weeks . as the sign negotiators had to contact the following talk, some agents also this,

our nature elite is a gathering in washington. west president joe biden is hoping to show his fit for a 2nd time and pushing for peace and stability. if you use 5 minutes or visit, so don, for the 1st time since the conflicts began on joining us real skilled with his full stains, teenage sensation, the medium, all schools or something go healthy side come back suite from c one a c in the place of the year a 2020 full find the thank you for joining us. tuesday has been one of the deadliest days in recent weeks in gaza with 76 minus to me is killed across the strip since dawn. at least 29 were killed in one is really a talking to school housing display spanish to the ends in 7 gaza. children were playing football moments before the strike. i

added well i know what had been a moment of brief respite. quickly turned to tragedy. the attack left a trail of bodies in the town of assigned east of hon. eunice survivors were rushed to nice and medical complex fits the last functioning hospital in southern gaza. this is the 4th is really a time for the school sheltering to displacing as many days. and who do every has more in the of time from dial, blah in central gas units. and we know that no schools are overpack overland palestinian church during the school, especially after the vision. and especially after the is really forces us all the people you were living in rough. i've to is that to wait us as to the area. this is not the 1st time the is there any forces target that school in the past couple of days? these targeted 3 scores. one in mislaid on the other one was in the cause of city. and this has something we have been seeing every single day and reporting about it

. it's very hard to find some images. we're seeing a children's cartridge, into pieces the head of babies. and this is a school, it's sheltering public opinion. it's a place where a pallet thing is left houses left everything behind them. so just shut there in those schools because the people are safe for the building and that's why they chose at a school and, and talking to those kind of thing into our children in schools. they're terrified, they don't know what they have to do, but they're feeling that there's a risk because the is really forces in targeting a lot of schools the past couple of days and kind of thing is, are telling us that they do not know where to go should they leave the school, the if they, if they leave, where should they go? there is no place safe and where every day go and being displayed more over and

over again. people believe that there is no play safe and know where they go is out of it. like every single place people are going to go would be targeted by those resources. is there any voices when they target the school and they target the building? when they target a shelter, they do not call people to the but we're talking about palestinians who have been killed. we're talking about more than $38000.00 pilot thing is 9 months. and most of these college didn't use were killed in their shelters in the residential houses, in hospitals. inmates just come in residential areas and none of them receive any warning before the is there any forces? i targeted them a while attention turns to kata on wednesday, for another round of guys a ceasefire talks they come after egypt, president of the fact of c, c met c i a director of william burns in cairo cc. we are from disposition opposing

israel's military operations in casa, his, trusting the importance of a 2 state solution and preventing the conflict from expanding in the region. the c, i, chief and i, the negotiators, are now heading to go. that's bringing him to san hood from all on this. she's live from amman, jordan, she's joining us from my mind because israel has bind, i'll just hear from reporting from their honda. so some momentum it seems for sci fi do. but at the same time, we're seeing escalating is really a tax across guys i with $76.00 people killed in just 24 hours. what does it say about israel strategy right now as well, let's remember that on monday, how mouse had released 2 different statements, but one of them had said that continued is really military action and air strikes and such in gonzo are something that could do rail. the talks and it was really official speaking anonymously to was really media have said that it's a little pre mission shore to say that there is significant progress in these talks,

but that a genuine effort was being made. but that there are still huge issues to solve that are not so simple. a lot of complexities around non negotiable, sit each side has. you'll remember that is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu on sunday. released a statement with 4 non negotiable items going into these talks. and one of them was that the war simply wasn't going to end even if a ceasefire deal was secured. and a pause in the fighting was secured for an extended period of time, or as how much this position from the beginning has been that they're not willing to accept a deal that doesn't see a total and complete until the war. a withdrawal of is really troops from gone. so now all of this comes as is really mediators are expected in the cost of the capital, doha on wednesday, followed by continued meetings in the egyptian capital cairo on thursday. and as mediators are scrambling behind the scenes to bridge the gap, there are still heavy sticking points from both sides of the thank you for the best

time, the sound who lives there in amman, jordan, because again, these really government has gone down to 0 from reporting from that well let's discuss these latest developments now with 1000000 rabbani who's a non resident fellow. busy at the center for conflict engine, dietary and studies is life monterey. out in canada. thank you very much, mr. bonnie for being with us. so we've just seen now the 4th is really a talk on a school in 4 days as i, as time to set that aside, director is in cairo heading to go on next 4 more negotiations. what do you make of this is really strategy of increasing attacks as talks are about to start again, is the national government really interested in this? these 5? i don't think it is of no leadership likes to preside over military failure and certainly not is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who was hoping to go down in his early history as it's longest serving prime minister and will now be remembered. most of all for his failures on october 7th and his failures in the year thereafter to achieve anything of military

significance. of course, israel will tell you that the increased military attacks are designed to increase pressure upon the palestinians to agree to an agreement. but in fact, these attacks taken together with various provocative statements by nothing. yeah, was seeking to undermine policy and in confidence that any deal that is achieved will in fact be implemented. they're meant to sabotage the prospect of a deal without having to take direct responsibility for it. and that i think, is what we're seeing happening now. let's see, how has said the sci fi deal must allow israel to keep fighting until is around subject is the ahmed, which is hard to really understand how, how to, how they can be a sci fi with no, sufficient or fine. but is it clear to you what the objectives are at this stage more than 10 months into this conflict as well? i think one objective is precisely what we're seeing in front of our eyes, which are to pulverize,

to the maximum extent the gaza strip. to kill massive numbers of people in this case, taking out its rage against a civilian population because it's unable to get to the leaders of the how about some movement and other factions and essentially to make the gaza strip on fits for human habitation. i think um it's, it's quite clear what's happening, of course, is you would like to achieve many other things, whether in the gaza strip or the west bank or the region. but it doesn't have the military capability to do that. we're talking about a very efficient killing machine that is an, an effective finding force, particularly when it comes to ground operations. right. on the say, sign negotiations, we saw a bill burns in cairo. next stop is doha. they have been competing interpretations of the proposal that was announced by president 5 and at the end of may and you know, things were at a standstill foot for a few weeks after that. do you expect renewed momentum in doha and,

and what's of concessions? can we expect each side to make if any as well i, i suspect that the americans, or at least the key figures within the american leadership are serious about this. because for the priority now, as we come to avoid for the regional escalation, particularly with what we see happening on these really lebanese border and all the implications that may have the problem for the americans is that they're unwilling to, to call a halt to israel. israel simply rejects us pressure acts as it pleases, and then the americans simply turn the other cheek. so it's very difficult for the americans to achieve their objective when they're constantly allowing israel to undermine of regarding the negotiations themselves. of course, many of this is happening behind closed doors, but it appears that how mass has now accepted that there will be no explicit is

rarely commitment to a permanent cessation of hostilities at the very outset of the 3 stage process. and has instead accepted the what amount to guarantees from the mediators and then directly from the united states. that once process begins, it will result in a permanent cessation of hostilities. very interesting to talk to you. thank you so much for joining us. wayne rabbani life the from on trail you and other developments has belie, has launched about 40 wrong case studies really positions in the occupied golden heights. is really media say 2 settlers with kids when that call was hated by ms file. it's another sign of growing cross border tension between israel and lebanon's has belie raising fee is of a wide a conflict. and as well as also released drone video of is really military sites in the occupied golden highs. the onto the appears to be highlighting its ability to reach sensitive is really sites. last month it posted the video of

a military base in northern israel, or we spoke to elijah magneer about. this is a military and political alice. he says, as well as security breach buttons to severely disrupt his route. this is showing all the position that have been improvise off the the 7th of october. which indicates that these drought that are impossible to be deceptive by the eye window . because they have a completely different way of flying and speed and the iron don't use me for something completely different for a temporary insurance and motors and rockets. and it's showing that all the in deception besides within the reach that we're not going to serve anything to eat right. but the above oh is forcing these really to adopt. pittsville dies doctoring to go under the ground because it's no longer possible for these relays to behave in the very true buyer. it's like bank employers parking their calls outside and

thinking nothing is going to happen to them. so here's one that is focusing on is red, huge expense to change all these locations, or at least to turn them from above the ground under the ground, which is going to cost billions of dollars from the ministry approach and showing how much intelligence information has blah has and hitting these targets, it'd be coming. so easy that is right is forced to change is doctoring to change its approach and adopt something completely different and yet has f as well as sending one of the ultimate one. and i think because it's saying to is ryan stopped the war guides because i'm going to move to something as the ukranian attacks and 7 russia has killed at least 5 people. they follow

a series of russian strikes on monday. those attack scale at least 44 people in ukraine to meet them incident. go has the d test the fire, this will depot, could be seen from several kilometers away in the little the grad region of southern russia to power substations, burning near the neighboring city. over most of the strikes inside russia's territory come off. the moscow launched a barrage of missiles on ukrainian cities killing doesn't the capital key of shaken as this happens. as though hitting the country's most important pediatric hospital is close to 720 pets and fit in a time. when the most i thought in the hospital was around 675, around the legs that must go reiterated it doesn't targets civilian infrastructure

. and that it was a ukrainian defensive missile, which destroyed the hospital. the u. n's envoy disagrees analysis of the video footage and assessment made at the incident side indicates a high likelihood that the children's hospital suffered a direct hit rather than receiving damages due to an intercepted lessons. this and and russian, the next crime. yeah. which has been a step away from the war results of building bomb shelters. right at the beach is last month for people including 2 children, were killed in the ukrainian strike on a beach that came in with everything that's been happening recently. yes, i'd say having shelters. yeah. makes sense. as rescue work as continue cleanup operations in both countries, nato was holding a summit in washington saying it will continue to ukraine to meet you meant that

didn't go out to 0. all the un security council has an emergency meeting to discuss the hospital attack in keys. the meeting turned into a back and forth of allegations between russian and ukrainian, and bassett as gabriel is on to has more than that from new york at an emergency meeting of the un security council. russia said they were not responsible for the missile. the hit, the children's hospital and keith earlier this week, it said that if it was a russian missile, the damage would have been much worse. then you would meet you when you're as low as they would have been nothing left of the building. if we're hit by a russian messiah all the children and most of the adults would have been killed and not just going to the ground and they would have to do is listen. ukraine's ambassador held up photos, he said, were profit. it was a russian missile. and then responded directly to his russian counterpart. his comments about the possibility to destroy it entirely. if russia supposedly hit

on just monstrous allies of ukraine, use the meeting to highlight the high told the war has taken on children. russia has killed ukrainian children. russia has maimed and injured ukrainian children. russia has abducted ukrainian children. and yesterday russia came back for wounded and sick children in oak much each hospital. this is cowardly depravity. and this most stopped rushes. ambassador also said ukraine is over stating the hospital attack to summon support before the nato summit, which begins in washington dc on wednesday. on tuesday, the head of the summit, us secretary of state anthony, blinking, met with his ukrainian counterpart with

a hospital tack, came up. you know, action was taken by the security council in this meeting, and the reality is when it comes to ukraine, the council is very limited in what it can do. and that's because russia being a permanent member of the council, has veto power and gives us the block any resolution. but it doesn't degree with gabriel's onto. i would use either at united nations in new york. or we want to take, you know, some take you to washington dc and show you some of the latest pictures coming out of there are us present joe biden about to welcome the heads of natal member states to d. c for their annual summit, which also marks the 75th anniversary of the north atlantic treaty organization. this alliance, which assigned to 75 years ago present by means you just speak shortly. we'll bring that speak to a speech you a live here on alger 0. of course rushes war in ukraine will top the agenda of this

summit in washington, dc, which officially kicks off tomorrow, wednesday, nato secretary general again, sultan burke has addressed the meeting of defense industry leaders, and mr lyons is expected to finalize a native plan to supply weapons to ukraine, the official ceremony alpha they to somebody in washington dc and a wait right now. and november is us presidential election is also in shop focused at this summit. president biden is a native supporter was donald trump is skeptical of the military lines. kind of takes a look at how the us has played a dominant role in nato. foreign ministers gather the nato headquarters in brussels in april, marking the 70 percent of the 3 of the alliance. but the major celebration will be in washington dc. this week. the city in wichita will begin, they told it in the aftermath of world war 2 liters of 12 countries came together on april the 1st 1949 and signed the treaty pitching collective self defense across

europe and north america. on the cool of the pact, article 5, the consult together, or whatever this territory or independence of any of them is rep, blooming strength for decades was the soviet union. but even following its dissolution, the russian invasion of crimea 10 years ago signalled that the threat had not diminished in fact, it escalated as russia and faded ukraine in february 2 years ago. last month, president biden reiterate to total us support in a meeting with outgoing nato. secretary general, jim stocum the hello everybody, but biden's previous test that was not supportive. donald comes praise of russian president vladimir putin ringing alarm bells, which god allowed to win trunk called into question us support for article 5. but

one of the hedge and the countries that up and so does that mean that if we don't pay the bills, then you're not going to protect us? i should. that's exactly what it means. exactly. i'm not going to protect new tool operates on the suggestion of demand that each member advocates, 2 percent of its gross national product to defense. donald trump's claim 1st made while in office that the us what's the bill, and that the contribution from other members were shrinking was and remains a lie. the defense spending of nathan members has increased each year since the russian invasion of crimea a decade ago. appropriate to motion to the liberal. i'm the one but the fact that even the crisis uh there we always be a the president biden, the stumbling performance and his 1st presidential debate with donald trump and dramatic dropping polling. good. have a major impact on they to the question of us election results will not be on the

anniversary agenda, but it will be the one most privately discussed. a mike kinda, i'll just sarah washington. let's spring in panic. ok, now is life for us in the washington dc party. we are waiting for president biden to speak any moment. now. this is a very crucial nature summit for him because he has to convince his allies both at home and abroad, that he can still lead exactly after that absolutely horrible debate performance. there been growing calls from members of his own party that he needs to step aside and take his name basically off the valid. and there are a lot of leaks coming out of nato already. a to very reputable newspapers. that the top concern for these people, these leaders meeting here in washington is whether or not there's going to be another trump term and likely to out a little bit of that in his story, but trumpet and bite and couldn't be further apart on nato. a to ukraine,

and so one of the things is divided ministration has been desperately trying to get past all of this discussion about chevy run. she's not run. they want to use the some of the say, look, this is a strength. the president joe biden has had an office. he cheated an interview over the weekend and he said, tell me, it was who can keep nato together like me. and so he wants to use this opportunity to show the american people to show allies that under his watch, there's been some massive aids sent in to ukraine. and as mike mentioned, increase nato spending more members coming into nato. so she wants to highlight that, hoping it helps him with the allies, but also with his domestic troubles. now, that seems slightly unlikely if you ask rotors in poll after poll after poll, ukraine is not on the top. really at the top of the list, it's mostly installation right now. and of course, that if he is, if i can, is up to the job of president the majority of falls so that the majority of the country does not think that he is in fact mentally capable of another term in the

office. so again, a lot of the talk behind the scenes it's going to be about trump, how they can differ prepare if president trump does. in fact, when re election. because he has said just a couple of things that if he's elected the lord ukraine and russia will. and before he even takes the oath of office and his age of said they have a piece plan for your crew, which is basically ukraine, giving mass concessions to rush the uh and did you see dirt? and donald trump is even repeated russian talking points. that idea of natal membership for ukraine is what started the for the so he's very firmly in the camp of not wanting to funds nato would. although to be fair, this is something that president trump has not seem to grasp. and all of the years that he wasn't office, he seems to think that members countries gives money to nato. and yes, they do. and some money on the nato infrastructure. but they need a requirement, is that each country has to spend a certain for certain percentage of their g d,

p on defense. and so he doesn't president trump, doesn't quite understand how natal words please made very clear. he's not a fan. all right, petty, thank you very much for the moment. we'll leave it there for now. of course, we'll come back to uh when we hear from president biden, who again, is you to speak any moment now at the opening ceremony of the nato summit in washington, dc. body, thank you. now does a u. k. way upon them? it has begun the 3 day task of swearing, an old 650 members of the lower house neighbors. landslide victory, last week's election, has paved the way for the biggest transformation in decades. sonya go, reports loads commission is designed to meet his attendance in the house to hear the commission write a day of pub ceremony with traditions that go back for 100 years. first order of the day, selecting a speaker, speak of the house of commons for the 1st chosen piece as a house of rules directed and abused to decide no make cuz gavin in

a packed house of commons, had already agreed on the choice. lindsey hoyle, re elected as a speaker of the house of commons welcoming 335 u. m. p. 's from disparate policies and overseeing the most diverse chain. but in decades, i'm due to the fact that knowledge by the prime minister in his 1st address and that role to parliament with the speaker let you preside over the problem. the most part, 1st column in 5 race and 10 to this country has proceed on prob the pop. but my talk is played in part the proud of the top that every policy has played in that me you street assessor which you see next on the opposite bench. what am i doing him of the what? ahead and the car stopped by congratulating the 5 minutes spent on his election victory. and as he takes on his for middle task, he and his family does that the good wishes of all of us in this house. i know the swelling in of 650 m p 's is taking place over the next 3 days. and well,

there are plenty of new faces. there were also a few familiar ones, made it into the house of commons. it took him 8 goes, but right when populist were full, then p of nigel farrell, which made little attempt to hide his role as a disrupt to us in the u. k. politics, nigel, for all we, all the new kids on the slow, we have no experience in this problem whatsoever. even though some of us have tried many times previously to get a brief moment of unity in a chamber opened fruit with opposing views braced the challenges ahead. so when he got your go out, is there a london? if you'll pay as prime minister as made his 1st visit to sit down since the conflicts began there in april last year i had met the head of the armed forces. i've done tom behind him for it. so don and december, the prime minister hosted the leader of the rapid support forces. mom and i'm done

dot go talks to brokers, he's fine. so don, have so far failed. mom at vaughn has moved from ports to don. a fine minister documents, but a secretary delays, so you won't be told of the 0, but he's come to help achieve peace and stability. and so that it's not clear what specific proposal he has presented visit comes every 3 fourths of official thoughts to the whole set. aside from that, it must serve as a breath of fresh air for this within he has been, instead of neat as will feel the way across the by most of the outside world or the is the highest profile for a need to visit. so that since the beginning of the war 15 months ago is visit marks, attorney points, and he's sides with this with the needs me to tell you, hold on to the fund that helps with on its neighboring countries, helped him kyle, in july last year. he's over there and good when he's all of a power vacuum is with them, and tempted us any peace keeping integration in december for

mazda, of creating the belief in so that a piece of these forces was closer to the, to people who are the eastern states of so not just a deep concerning folks with them. they might be able to receive supplies by job. you may need to this them all those be as, as to present himself as a good neighbor in order to be able to meet you for peace. how much fun i just yeah . lots of them still ahead on the use our, the politicians finding corruption charges were live in new york with closing arguments in the bottom. and then this trial alongside varies. mine is digging for gold in indonesia. i will tell you what's hampering rescue efforts and men's world number one younique's center is non talents of wimbledon. we'll show you what happens in

the and here's how it's working across europe in africa on wednesday, that intense rain that we had in northern scotland hops over the north sea. this becomes a story for southern norway. so pretty good helping of rain for also on wednesday to say is rain that we had in belgium now becomes wednesdays. rain for germany and poland. some pretty good burst of rain along the border with both countries there otherwise for central and eastern europe. it is hot, so we take romania, for example, your temperature hovering around 40 degrees for the next several days. it's almost a good 10 above where you should be for this point in the year. also starting to dial up the heat for southern and eastern spring here. so look at seville, 38 degrees for you. same goes for the other side of the mediterranean temperatures

. coming down a bit though, a non totally up 36. and we've got some more weather for turkey as like sea coast, where there has been some flooding. not too far away from traps on our summer rains in west africa. really starting to pep up for sierra leone and guinea. so concrete can expect to what date and the rain and the wind keeps coming out. shift for south africa's western cape province. so nother. why didn't wendy day for cape town? in fact, we could see those winds in cape town pushed past 85 kilometers per hour, so that could cause some more damage on wednesday. that's it. so you of african stories from african perspective. most people do know, i mean, they recommend, i do have to check in with them. i think, to show documentary use by african filmmakers from morocco and kenya.

serenade of this kind and canyon society of a new series of africa direct on. i'll just 0. the latest news, the renewed bombardments and intense pointing show that in north going to like elsewhere and the strip. this will this fall from over with detailed coverage, given the lack of international up for it will be up to a residence, a 5 been to defend their very existence in their line from the heart of the story were not passion for through this something that helped her serve by the daily life . it's a distraction of, from what she has witness the, [000:00:00;00]

the, and watching out you 0 live from don't a reminder about top stories, at least 29 policies have been killed. and then is there any way of talking to scroll housing, display, spanish, simians, in southern gaza. it's been one of the deadliest bays in recent weeks with $76.00 policy in scale, the cost of the trip. the attacks come as negotiators travel to doha for another round a ceasefire talks. 11 nonsense by law has launched around 20 long case studies really positions in the occupied colon heis to his really sadness for killing me a time when that car was hedge by mis 5 as well. that also released sharon video of is really military size in the fine colon and ukraine attacks in southern russia have killed at least 5 people. they follow a series of strikes by rushes military on monday and includes one that is to destroy the children's hospital in queens capital,

keep protest or from those attacks as not always into $44.00. we want to take you now live to washington dc when they till secretary general young stilton berkeley speaking at the opening ceremony of nato's 75th anniversary in washington. leslie's most successful in lawrenceville history. it was most the longest last thing that the color belonged to the the lease of the ancient greek $680.00 space but the last of 74 years. so in this 76 fixed on the russian, our lions, we can finally say that they used to smoke only the most successful and the strongest, but also the long news. last thing in line for the the time,

the enduring success or maybe it is important to recognize all the terms of the land lines. most of the network are given on the country. they do so the souls, all the neighbors and choices difficult decisions, saw things with naples, crazy. off the road go to many americans wanted to leave the bureau and bring their boys back home just us 2 nights and stays the officers a little more fortunate. the duke farm courageous leaders on both sides of the atlantic. we're a move to the fight for position increase at the time. so plans like allowing us to

deter this sort of service gradually, a bowl tom controversial audio emerged that we needed to talk to over 2, meaning the much the re open arms race spine. and also control is an easy to use search. find my get them set by set 2 digital tools on hard negotiations and architecture launch control will simply thousands of weapons where the storage transparency and trust their role. big chain, a safe place. youtube that is herron's of defense. that's cool. so due to this argument, dialogue unimed time, the cold war ended without nathan fighting or so peaceful prints on historically,

when those over to the role goes to an altered critical decision whether to and not natal, unwelcome whole of the service as new on us. the countries older former worship part of the older they made their choice. they want to join over the housing person. now that this nice, next one there saw unbox of hobbles, that the way the question was, when we were ready to open the door, saw fear nothing lodgement wouldn't be getting next to unprovable. multiple just us up for you to scroll shows. it was smoked than we discharge. if there's nothing, you see this issue. ah,

it took time. but we still don't for the right of every nation to choose is on call. we open nation store. hardly any decision. moment history has changed your more for, from a nate large man's unified unit in a way that was created and things people pay the way for even integration and brought peace and prosperity across the cult. oh, i show them clarity on documentation. and then, as we must continue to do not rush just for the gaze, ukraine is the biggest security crisis. enjoy the rest your craving. how

sole remarkable couch i need to analyze. i provided and presented simple. but let's the image. not even our support for ukraine has to be a good it is not straight forward because of our support teams with the young ladies. there are no 3 options with an aggressive restaurant. so maybe there are no risk street options in the water. i'm going to member didn't bring his cost on the greatest risk will be if we need a new grade, we certainly will let the top of the

know fully with a simple present. it will also and holding all the leaders in the wrong in north korea. i'm showing that they should for rushes through. 2 more they won't need to saying so difficult to move before which he almost $64.00 decades to come the time to sign for freedom and democracy is now the place is you create the whole the 75. yes. the transatlantic relationship has with many storms. we have bound together no only by interests,

but also by the addition of box. but our lines should not be taken for granted. it was most things given in 1949. if this is not the thanksgiving, now on, it will be a good one in the decades to come every moment to pass the responsibility of the political leaders as experts, as citizens, we must show the same courage and up in the nation in the future. apostles demonstrated the pulse when nature was found good shape the future all lines. the principal police were men and women in uniform. they put their lives on the line each and every day. chief, we'll say yes,

today i later we on the on accounting national cemetery to pay my respects for those so made the ultimate sacrifice. we owe them and the total rectitude freeform their them hold. mr. press, then their friends. our alliance is not perfect. and we will continue to face difficult decisions in the future. i do not know what the next crisis will be, but i do know that we are also a best mutation, difficult decisions with political courage and model terry. and

i know that to be are stronger and safe to get there in the it is good to have friends. thank the right we just heard the from nato secretary general. again, stoughton bird at the opening ceremony of the 75th natal summit, which is being held in washington d. c. ukraine is expected to top the agenda off to summit long term support for ukraine. and we heard that assault and break speak at length said about the war in ukraine, saying the time for freedom and democracy is now the place is ukraine. he said the nato alliance is not a perfect one,

but that they would continue to face difficulties in the future, but that together they were stronger and safer. we are expecting to hear from president joe biden, also at the opening of his nato summit and will bring that speech you live when it begins. in the meantime, let's move on to add in use and in the us the noise. bump menendez has their jurors to acquit him of every charge during closing arguments in the senate as corruption trial, the defend says federal prosecutors are failed to prove a single count. menendez faces 16 charges, including bribery and fraud, at the time of the alleged crimes. he was chairman of the pa, for us senate foreign relations committee at spring. and john henry was outside the courthouse in new york for more on this. so what has been and his lawyers said in response to the prosecutions closing arguments or manenda is just a little while ago. walk out the courthouse after those closing remarks 1st and the

prosecution then from his own team, which didn't finish. they say they've got a couple more hours to go the next day, but they really focused mostly on the money that was found in menendez is house. and it was a massive amount of money. $480000.00 in cash stuffed into a jacket, pockets and boots in his bedroom. and then there was a, there were a stack of gold bars in what menendez is, people say was a closet to which he had no access. and they were arguing that while the prosecution has said, yeah, menendez had a lot of money in his house, they say the prosecutors didn't show any connection between the money there. and the official acts of senator menendez and they really blame menendez is wife. they say she had money problems, she had a separate mortgage from before the marriage and that this car,

the $60000.00 mercedes benz that was given to her by one of them in and as is co defendants, is that, that, that was completely unrelated to this senator and so the argument is really on the one side that prosecutors say they can connect the dots between the official x and the money. and they say the way to do that is to look at the messages between menendez and his wife, that they communicated with each other, and that he was really the one driving this corrupt scheme. menendez, these people were arguing, in fact, the prosecutors never really directly to charles homage and i have to interrupt you because we're going back to washington dc to hear president joe biden speech at the opening ceremony of the nato summit in washing 1949 meters of 12 countries including president truman, came together in this very room. the history was watching have been for years
