the lives of city under one leadership, making sure that they are state institutions that we try to establish so that they can provide basic services to the people and also to provide it a cost and economy which can serve as the backbone of this country and all of those, all of those points at face the number of challenges as we've been talking about in the last few weeks. and he is going to need all the help, not just to meet those challenges, but also to try and get rid of the sanctions. and here in the city and capital for the 1st time, you saw a head of state just the means. and how about the funny, the other, the immediate was here as a gesture of support as a cover says if it's been by the people of syria throughout all of these areas. and i'm like, are the out of countries. we try to many times with the charlotte government, but there's that it wants to stay on the side of this and people on the side of the legitimate struggle, as we heard from somebody who officials and it is going to help syria to try and rebuild its health, its education,

the transportation communication and every aspect of fee and life which needs help and ought to be in these here in damascus. shows that because it is serious about doing it. and it is, says it. and it says, and according to the state and government is valid, believe that it is going to be all the help that it can get. i've got the remain on the side of those people who need something on the job without the view to hey, now the world news or recovery operation is on to any of the us capital. after a plane and a military helicopter collided in mid air, 64 people, one for the american airlines flight, which was moments away from landing in washington dc. the 3 were on the helicopter . no one is believed to have survived. my kind of reports from arlington in virginia with the morning lights came the doc news search teams who'd been deployed for hours in and on the icy waters of the potomac found no survivors. despite all those efforts, we're now at a point where we're switching from

a tom, the diversity equality and inclusion policies of previous administrations. how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this question, because i have common sense. okay. and unfortunately, a lot of people down, i put safety 1st, obama bite, and then the democrats put policy 1st. and they put the politics at a level that nobody's ever seen away from the politics spaces up being put to the dead among them too. well champion russian figure skaters being coaching the us national team, just 2 of the dozen. so be moved into so ronald reagan national airport opens again up to 14 hours of closure by kinda i'll just say era. arlington, virginia saying i had on alger 0. tony chung in thing called web politicians,

the forget for people who are actually facing the brunt of climate change with fresh perspectives from lesser heard voices. the stream explores the key issues of our times on algebra the the, any watching outages here, a reminder about top stories. israel has released a $110.00 to be in prison is as far as a sci fi agreement with from us. around 13 our children among those released hundreds of palestinians gathered in ramallah in the occupied westbank to welcome them home early a mouse and as long as she had released 8 captives housing, gaza,

a higher key under is or the rule seeing is the, the campaign failed and the failures piled up on top of each other and reached critical mass. and at some point it became clear to, i think, what is now the majority of israel is that this war was not achieving what it says of to achieve. and that is why political momentum in israel is shifted. again, it's important to emphasize is rallies as not stopped supporting. the notion of a genocidal campaign did not stop supporting the notion of carrying the war to israel's enemies. is just that most of us has realized that this has failed because it has failed. we'd like, i think that's the general sentiment we would like our live stuck to francis for mister has arrived in wanda, after holding talks in the democratic republic of congo. powers is leading a you and effort to contain the confection eastern d r. c days after the wandering back 1023 onto captured,

she blamed russian president vladimir putin for the invasion. she defended her decision to visit syria in 2017 and meet with vin president. for cheryl aside as her past question of whether he was responsible for chemical weapons use snowden type leak and i was, but she was big when repeatedly questioned about her defensive whistleblower edward snowden. as her past skepticism of the surveillance programs he exposed in yes or no. is edward snowden a traitor to the united states of america, to a someone who have the uniform income that i understand how critical our national security error will you do? sure in another hearing room, another controversial candidate cash patel. nominated to be the next director of the federal bureau of investigations. patel has said that he wants to empty out the f. b i headquarters in washington and turn it into a museum to the deep state. he's promised to target trump's enemies,

including journalists, and he was front and center defending the january 6th riders. but of this hearing, he did break with trump on his part is of some of them do not agree with the computation of any sentence of any individual who committed violence. but patel created a music video with the violent defenders to raise money for their families. i want you to turn around their capital police officers behind you there. guarding us. take a look at them right now. turn around. i'm looking at you, you're no, no, no, look at them. i want you to look at them if you can. if you have the courage to look them in the eye, mr. patel and tell them you're proud of what you did through patel did not turn around. republican senators are under intense pressure to confirm these contentious nominees. if they do it will be a clear sign of the president's complete control of this co equal branch of government political hang elda 0 washington. steve clemens is health of allergies airs. weekly show the bottom line, he says the controversial nature of the comp nominees has highlighted the hearings

crucial role as a check and balance and it provides what's called advice and consent. and so for a nominee made by the president, most time the president gets to the people he wants to serve, but the senate gets to wait and gets to question them, gets to kick the tires of these nominees, qualifications. and on a rare occasion, some people don't make it through, but in this case you've got to be very controversial, nominees controversial for opinions. they a hold or may hold and also because of the things that they've said. and right now they're being grilled by senators in front of you know, tv cameras and, and, and we need the spotlight to see whether they're worthy the cash battelle had a very, very tough job. because amy club, a charter was the ranking member on that committee had gone through quotes that he had made in the interviews that he had given to people like the bad and others on the people. he would go after people that they were going to have
