you're welcome to cnn newsroom. >> vladimir putin is now officially a wanted man. the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant today for the russian president and one of his officials seen with him here in this photo for allegedly deporting thousands of ukrainian children from occupied territories in ukraine to

russia. ukraine says at least 16,000 children have been forced to live in russia. the icc president said contents of warrants are routinely kept secret to protect the victims, but today an exception was made. >> nevertheless the judges of the chamber with this case decided to make the existence public to ensure justice and prevent the commission of future crimes. >> the kremlin calls the warrant outrageous and unacceptable. the chief of staff for ukrainian president zelenskyy said this is just the beginning. just hours before putin's warrant was issued china's ministry announced its president xi jinping will go to russia to see putin on monday as part of a three-day visit. u.s. intelligence has asesd china is considering giving russia lethal military supplies for its war in ukraine. cnn's chief international

correspondent clarissa ward is there and spoke with the prosecutor of the international criminal court. what have you learned? >> reporter: i think everybody here feels that this is a truly historic day. it is a day they have been working very hard toward. these are the first international charges that we've seen pressed against the russian federation since the invasion of ukraine. while it is clear from the russian response we may not see president vladimir putin in the dock any time in the near future, this is, nonetheless, a serious and significant step. we spoke as you mentioned to the chief prosecutor. he pointed out this is the first time in history that a sitting head of state of a u.n. security council member has been issued an arrest warrant by the icc. it is also significant because it is the first time we have seen the international criminal court move at this pace.

the criticism traditionally of the icc has been that it is a slow moving beast. it is mired in bureaucracy. which has essentially made it quite toothless. but in this instance they have been working in months as opposed to years. in terms of the next concrete steps that will be taken essentially the registrar of the court will explain the charges to the russian federation who have already made clear that they have nothing but disdain and disregard for the court and are not signatories anyway to the rome statute but it is possible that while a trial cannot take place without president putin being here that there could be some kind of a hearing that would take place to at least ensure that all of the evidence is put on the record in a timely manner. >> as you noted, neither the united states or russia for that

matter acknowledge and recognize the jurisdiction of the court and the iccu acknowledged to you it will be relying on countries to get putin into custody. i believe there are 140 signatories there. tell us about that. >> reporter: so essentially, any one of these signatories if they choose to enforce these arrest warrants could potentially arrest president putin or indeed the russian commissioner for children if they set foot on their soil. in essence though what we have seen happen over and over again with the international criminal court is that countries that do not want to participate do not participate essentially and those that do usually already have sanctions levied against individuals or states which make it impossible for those

individuals or high powered officials from those states to actually set foot on that soil anyway. in essence, coming back to the point i was just making, it is very unlikely you are going to see in the short term at the very least any high level russian officials, let alone president putin himself, facing charges here in the hague but the hope is there is an important symbolism to this moment that nobody is above the law and that the icc will do the fullest of their ability not just in ukraine but across the world to try to prosecute war crimes when they see them as being carried out. it is also worth noting this is just the beginning with regards to ukraine. there are a number of other investigations they are actively pursuing, a lot of evidence out

there. they have made multiple trips to ukraine and this is just the sort of first step in what may be a much longer journey. >> a significant and historic move today nonetheless. clarissa ward, thank you. we have a senior fellow and council and currently based in odesa, ukraine and retired army general mark hertling is a cnn military analyst. welcome both of you. the u.s. is not a signatory to the rome statute here. this is at this point at least a highly symbolic gesture for americans at home. how should they be interpreting this news? >> first, i'll go from the russian standpoint. many have called for this action. this is just the first of the war crimes mr. putin is going to be held responsible for. it is certainly well deserved and really affects russia significantly on the world stage. their military has been mauled, their information system

affected by the intelligence that the u.s. and nato companies have been given and the economy is affected. now you are seeing mr. putin embarrassed on the world stage. i should say further embarrassed on the world stage with this kind of action. what you are talking about with the signatories and it is an important point this dates back to the clinton administration. congress in 2002 passed something called the american service member protection act. this, the icc, international criminal court, is geared toward member states who had been seen not able to hold themselves responsible for war crimes. and it is obvious that russia is doing things and in fact boldly doing things and congratulating people for doing things like kidnapping children from their parents and trafficking them across borders. that is a war crime. they have yet to try and hold themselves responsible for it. that is what the u.s. is concerned about it.

will the biden administration be able to support this? i think they will but they'll have to work through legal restrictions because they are not signatories to the icc. >> let's bring in now also to the conversation nic robertson cnn's international diplomatic editor. nic, the ukrainian general prosecutor said today that any world leader should think twice before shaking putin's hand or sitting down to negotiate with him. i wonder how much now this arrest warrant changes his position because any world leader who considers him a pariah likely did so long before today. what does this change for putin? >> there is, now, 123 different countries who are signature na tories, should president putin set foot there they would have an obligation to hold him to account for the crimes or extradite him to the hague to

face the icc charges right there in the hague in person. so president putin's world just his physical world got a whole lot smaller. this is a man who likes his position as a leader as one of the most powerful nations in the world. he is leader of a nation that sits of course is one of the five permanent members at the u.n. security council, is a leader of a g20 nation. he likes being able to go to new york and speak to the u.n. security council. he likes to be able to go to the g20 meetings around the world and meet with other leaders and put his points of view across. that is going to be limited. he has a g20 leaders meeting scheduled for september in india this year. india is not a signatory to the rome statute, not a member of the icc, so not in the same way obliged to arrest them. it is going to raise a question for future meetings, is unlikely

to come to any european capital for example. this is going to hurt putin's self-image of how he portrays himself globally and how he is able to portray himself at home. i think all of this contributes to the message the international community is trying to send him that they will support ukraine to the hilt to stop putin in his tracks and in his aims in ukraine. >> the timing is significant, too. because it comes just weeks beginning next month it is russia's turn to hold the presidency at the u.n. security council. it is hard to square the two. an arrest warrant issued by the icc. these allegations of child abduction and kidnapping have been going on since the war began, since the invasion began. we remember president zelenskyy specifically talking and calling out mariupol and the thousands of ukrainian children he said were kidnapped by russian soldiers. i want to play sound from you. in terms of the russian propaganda and how russia is spinning this at home, we don't

have the sound, but just an example of what russians at home see with these ukrainian children just last month michael there was a huge rally that president putin was holding at a big stadium in moscow where they took some of these children that had been kidnapped from ukraine and spun it to have the ukrainian children thanking these, quote-unquote, liberators. that is just some of the propaganda russians are seeing. clearly the icc is seeing through this. >> yeah, absolutely. we just saw video the other day through admittedly ukrainian television channels showing young kids abducted in crimea learning to load guns and take defensive -- offensive postures. excuse me. so very concerning what is happening to these kids as well. if you believe the numbers of one of the leading ukrainian ngos right now there are over 16,000 ukrainian children abducted by russia, forcibly

abducted. so the rap sheet is pretty big against mr. putin. by the way, i think what you might see happen is she may being careless, going to dubai or mall dives or something like that and hopefully one of the states there even if not a signatory will pick her up. as you know i have always been advocating the news against these officials needs to be tightened and include gulf countries and other states otherwise they're going to roam scott free for quite sometime. >> general, on the point, she issued a statement after the announcement of this warrant. i'll read just a sentence of it. where she says, it is great that the international community has appreciated the work to help the children of our country that we do not leave them in the war zones. that we take them out. that we create good conditions for them. that we surround them with loving, caring people. of course more propaganda.

these are children essentially stolen from their home country and moved into russia. it is the boldness they did this when you consider the other war crimes, the first time was after the targeting of the infrastructure and bucha and this was something they put on the stage to show the world what likely made this the first what could be more charges from the icc. >> yeah. victor, when you look at the geneva convention in which the international court bases their actions on there is a specific protocol for the protection of women and children and noncombatants. when you look into the details, i am not a lawyer but we had to learn this as a soldier, when you look into the details of this, it is not only the kidnapping of the children but the trafficking of them. you know, when you're talking anywhere as we just said between

6 to 16,000 children that were pulled away from their parents and separated, and then sent back to re-education camps as they call them in russia to brain wash and put them in these kind of situations it is not only a criminal action but just horrific. can you imagine having your child taken away and shipped across the border to new parents and never being able to see them again. it is despicable across the board. >> and the question is will these children ever be reunited with their families in ukraine? a lot of them have already gone through the adoption pros necessary russia at this point. nic, this wasn't the only blow to vladimir putin and his ego today. we also got news turkey has ratified fin land's admission into nato. talk about the significance of that and perhaps sweden now following? >> reporter: yeah. we heard from the finnish president speaking after that

meeting saying he was really hoping that turkey and hungary as well would finish off ratifying sweden as well and they'd all be able to join the nato's leader's summit this summer. so there is still a concern turkey is holding out against sweden but it is hugely important that president putin sees the message that nato has become more united. why? because one of the principal reasons for going to war as putin said was to put other countries off joining nato and here is a country that has about 800 miles of border with russia that is now, has ticked all the boxes and been accept by all nato members to become a member nation. finland is actively right now reinforcing the very long frontier with russia that until now has been relatively porous. is reinforcing it. that is a message to president putin that nato is not diminished. it is stronger.

and that russia and his forces are more contained. how is he going to read that and spin it? he is going to spin it as nato aggression. the reality is that nato is coming through this stronger when putin thought he would make it weaker. >> nic robertson, retired lieutenant general mark hertling, thank you all. at the top of the next hour we'll speak with the president of the international criminal court and ask about this arrest warrant for president putin and one of the members of his government. >> you don't want to miss that important conversation. also this. chinese president xi jinping will travel to moscow next week to meet with vladimir putin, his first trip to russia since putin launched the invasion of ukraine. why u.s. officials are watching closely. and a cnn exclusive. dozens of mar-a-lago staffers are subpoenaed to testify in the trump classified documents investigation. who is on the list and what this

there is new reaction from the white house after the announcement that china's president xi will meet with president putin in russia beginning on monday. china says it wants to help broker peace in ukraine but earlier today national security council spokesman john kirby expressed deep concerns about the growing partnership between moscow and beijing. >> american officials say they'll be watching the summit very closely. what will they be looking for? >> reporter: they certainly will be. you may recall it was just a few weeks ago when the chinese first released their 12-point peace plan that president biden said, look, if putin is applauding it then it can't be any good. that is effectively still the position of the white house today. the white house's national security council spokesman john kirby today saying, trying to preempt chinese president xi jinping's meeting with vladimir putin in moscow next week and the potential that he could present a peace plan for this conflict, saying effectively

that any proposal that the chinese would put forward would be one sided and only to russia's advantage, in particular john kirby talked about the possibility a peace proposal would include a cease-fire plan saying it would only serve to effectively ratify russia's territorial gains and allow the russians to regroup and then attack the ukrainians at a time of their choosing. certainly the white house is not mincing words about the potential of the chinese to use this meeting with vladimir putin next week as an opportunity to present themselves as some kind of honest broker in this conflict. at the same time the white house is still encouraging the chinese president to speak directly with the ukrainian president. we saw those reports emerge earlier this week about the possibility of a phone call there and the u.s. position is effectively it would still be good for the chinese to hear directly from the ukrainians on this matter. as of yet the only thing on the schedule is for the chinese president to meet with the

russian president next week. there is something the u.s. is still watching, the possibility of china providing lethal weapons to russia. so far u.s. officials say they have not seen any evidence that china has decided to do that but john kirby did say today there is no indication china has taken it off the table either. >> all right. thank you. cnn's global affairs analyst kimberly doscher joins us now also senior managing editor for "the military times." how does the arrest warrant that's been issued by the icc for president putin change, inform this relationship with xi or the meeting next week? >> well, i think as you have seen from some of the official statements coming out of moscow what you'll see is that both countries, who are not members of this organization, don't recognize it, will make this one more sign that the west is

trying to attack moscow, attack anyone not part of the western mode of being and this plays into their fight for influence around the world especially china's fight for influence and business and political deals. this helps china eat away at u.s. supremacy at a time when it is trying to supplant the united states in the next couple decades. as you mentioned, beijing is trying to position itself like a potential peace maker or at least a power broker, which negotiators have to go through if they want moscow to withdraw any forces. only in the last two weeks did beijing sort of supplant u.s. diplomatic fire power by bringing about a peace deal between iran and saudi arabia, so basically they're saying, we're now the new power you have to deal with.

they want to be up next to do that in ukraine. >> that will be a much thornier issue to broker, kim. you have this meeting now between xi jinping and vladimir putin and one expert told me it is not in china's interests at this point to see this war coming to an end nor is it in china's interest to see russia lose. what is in china's interest is to see this war prolonged and a weaker russia. what do you make of that? what exactly do you think will come out of this meeting between the two of them? >> i've actually heard that expressed as a fear from indian diplomats and others who have had a long term alliance with russia or relationship with russia that they see as each week and month goes on and moscow is more and more reliant on chinese business contracts and now chinese political influence to still matter in the world, against the raft of sanctions and these other international moves of censure,

that that will leave moscow basically in beijing's pocket. only in the last year or so did beijing and russia trade rise by about 30%, which means moscow is increasingly reliant on china for feeding its people, keeping the banks running. that leaves putin much weaker. >> and china increasingly more reliant on russian energy at a much lower cost we should note as well. always good to see you. thank you. u.s. stocks are falling right now. investors are still not satisfied with the federal response to the growing concerns over the banking sector. we have new details for you. we don't even need an eald eight-titime all-star to tell you about it. wait what? get it before it's gone on the s subway app! what does it mean to be ever better? its your customers getting what they ordered when they expect it.

cnn has learned exclusively that dozens of mar-a-lago employees from grounds keepers to servers and trump aides have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury. >> the jurgang trump's handling of classified documents at the florida estate mar-a-lago. cnn's senior crime and justice reporter is here with more details. what do we know? >> reporter: well, from our sources that have been talking to us about where this investigation is right now into these classified records at mar-a-lago and donald trump, investigators, federal prosecutors are trying to talk to anyone and everyone who may have been around trump over the past year. this investigation is about a year old. a criminal investigation. we now know from our reporting that they have not just brought in top aides of donald trump to the grand jury in washington

that is looking into this case but they are also trying to talk to resort staff, people like a housekeeper, restaurant servers, many people on donald trump's payroll since he left the white house just yesterday in the federal court. we did see one communications person go in and speak to the grand jury to testify. we also know federal prosecutors from the special counsel investigation of jack smith on this have been trying to talk to lawyers around donald trump. even if prosecutors are able to get testimony from all of these people that they are seeking, more than two dozen in total, they may not be able to get answers to everything they want to ask. one of the people evan corcoran is a defense lawyer for donald trump and previously testified and we are still waiting at this time to see if a federal court will force him to go back into a grand jury and reveal a little bit more that he wasn't willing to share before.

>> thank you very much. joining us now to discuss, state attorney for palm beach county, good to have you. so let's talk about the scope here of the people at mar-a-lago being questioned. you have a restaurant server, at least one house keeper. specifically are you going for people who you know might have information like for instance they spoke with the mar-a-lago worker seen on security camera carrying the boxes of the documents. that makes sense. but just going for everyone here, is it anybody and everybody? >> they may know something. they want to know what they heard, what they saw, trump's involvement. this shows that jack smith the special prosecutor who is a pit bull is focused on obstruction. that is why the people in trump's world who say, well, pence and biden did the same thing, that is nonsense. it is not about the possession

of the documents but the obstruction. they are trying to tie donald trump and his lawyer evan corcoran to the obstruction. that is 18 usc 1519 punishable by up to 20 years in prison. that is the big whammy here and why they are talking to all the staff who have seen the documents, heard things, seen staff carry the documents out and around to avoid the oversight of the federal government. that is why everyone is being called in. >> we have heard some of those staffers are represented by attorneys paid by the former president himself. does that present a conflict specifically in terms of how reliable their testimony could be? >> yes. it is not illegal. they can pay for the lawyers. but the feds will know that. they know that these witnesses may not be so forthcoming because their legal fees are being paid for by the trump organization. remember, this happened with cassidy hutchinson. at first her legal fees were being paid for by trump's

people. she didn't like the way it was going so she found her own lawyer. that is when she came out in the january 6th hearing and came clean. so right now the feds are going to incorporate that. i pleasthink the big issue here what can they get from trump's lawyer evan corcoran himself because he is claiming attorney-client privilege, he doesn't have to answer the doj questions. but attorney-client privilege has an exception called the crime fraud exception. you can't use your lawyer to cover up an ongoing crime. that may have happened here. corcoran was the one who drafted the letter assuring the department of justice all the sensitive documents had been returned when they had not. >> you think about some of these employees. they probably don't make a lot of money. if the option is use the lawyer that's provided by trump or pay for a lawyer myself, to sit before a federal grand jury, i don't know it is anything nefarious, just i don't have the money to do it myself. let me ask you about what these employees might be offered.

if you have someone who maybe saw something or knew something. are you offering them immunity? or is there a level of culpability that if they know they're covering documents from the white -- how exposed are they potentially? >> they're just going to be used as witnesses, not the targets of the investigation. you want them to be forthcoming. if they lie they commit perjury and that is a crime and they can be squeezed there. but as far as seeing something that is not necessarily a crime. it depends on their level of involvement. if they walked the documents out of the room where they are supposed to be kept, yeah. they could be brought in and then get immunity from prosecution. you're identifying a correct issue. what if the lawyer paid for by trump says don't cooperate. don't tell the truth. and then you have a conflict. yeah this happens all the time in our world. sometimes it leads to an innocent, a person who is a witness who should not be charged is charged because they end up fall go into a perjury

betsy stevenson a former chief economist for the labor department and professor of economics at the university of michigan and justin wolfers also an economics professor at the university of michigan. great to have you both on with us. so let's start with what we saw today in the markets and the continued plummeting of first republic bank stock. we saw u.s. deputy secretary say that the global markets need time to process the actions by regulators and banks this weekend adding the fundamentals of the banking system are sound but u.s. officials will remain vigilant going into this weekend. for those folks at home who are continuing to see these market jitters is this something they should anticipate, perhaps could we see even more, smaller banks collapse? >> i think all the measures put in place are really going to help reduce the chances that we see any kind of smaller banks collapse. we've seen the fedex tend a lot

of emergency landing, emergency lending to make sure the small banks can access cash on hand. we saw the big banks step in and say we believe in first republic and made cash available to them. what we're seeing, a lot of market jitters have been unleashed and getting them back into the pandora's box is going to be a little tough. everyone is going to be scrutinizing banks a little harder and being under that scrutiny will be a little tough for them but i don't think we need to worry we have a wide scale bank collapse on the horizon. >> so the crisis is averted but we should anticipate more instability, shaky market days for the next few days or weeks? justin, as you know a lot of finger pointing already as to who is at fault for svb, just bad management, regulator oversight, the federal reserve? out of all of this do you think we are going to see more

regulation and more regular plagues perhaps implemented? >> i think there is no question we need more regulation and this came out of really bad behavior by bank executives, allowed because of the trump era deregulation of the financial sector. the basic business model, they were betting heads we win and we get to take home a lot of money and tails we'll ask the government to come in and clean up the mess after. i think a lot of us are really angry they took that set of bets and we need a set of regulations that are going to prevent banks gambling with your money and mine and that regulation will come down the pike pretty soon and might explain some of why we're seeing bank stocks go up and down. it is not just that we're worried about financial jitters. i also think some of them might become less profitable because we'll tighten up on some of the games that some have been playing. >> betsy, is this just more regulation for the sake of regulation? we were all told these banks are

well capitalized, constantly stress tests, and it looks like maybe some of the regulation in place just wasn't implemented. somebody dropped the ball here. so in your view do we need additional regulation or do you think the regulation that was already in place is sufficient, it just needs to be better enforced? >> i think let's be clear what happened in 2018, which is we did have regulation about subjecting banks to stress tests, about capitalization, about liquidity. and those regulations applied to any bank with over $50 billion. the head of tv bank iron -- sv bank ironically or maybe not ironically, this is the whole point, was one of the people leading the charge to get that regulation changed from 50 billion to $250 billion so banks like his would no longer be subject to the regulation. he succeeded. when that went through the republican head of the congressional budget office said, this will increase the

chance we see a bank failure. guess what happened? we saw a bank failure. it is very clear we need to go back to subjecting small and medium sized banks to the same kinds of regulations they were subject to before 2018. i do think it raises some questions, is there something else we need? i'm sure that is going to be looked into. >> justin, all of this will factor into what jay powell will do in terms of his meeting next week and his decision on interest rate hikes. from your vantage point do you think given what has happened in the financial markets, in the banking sector, do you think that justifies perhaps a smaller interest rate hike or perhaps even just pausing at this point? >> i think the thing to realize is that the fed has two different sets of tools to achieve its two different objectives. so for managing the macro economy and adjust interest rates and trying to prevent bank failures that can provide liquidity, guess what? the fed can do both at the same time. i don't expect the fed to back off from the fight against

inflation. i want to put one little asterisk next to that, which is this week is probably a really bad week for a surprise. so even if they are going to eventually continue on their path of raising rates, they might slow a little or at least make sure there are no surprises in the very short run. you should think about this as rate rise is delayed rather than rate rise is denied. >> i think you are right there. we've had our fair share of surprises the past few weeks. we can have some calm going forward for a little bit at least. betsy stevenson and justin wolfers thanks so much. great to see you. have you seen this? >> yes. >> this massive sea blob, the seaweed coming in, and this red tide. they're now creating this ecological beatdown for florida beaches. we'll take you there, next. yeah, loveseseats. something about loveseats make me e feel happy. kevin...?? i bought the team!m! ♪ cash brothers!s!

ugh covid-19? and being overweight makes it more risky. i'm calling my doctor. if it's covid, paxlovid. authorized for emergency use, paxlovid is an oral treatment for people 12 and up... who have mild-to-moderate covid-19 and have a high-risk factor for it becoming severe. my symptoms are mild now, but i'm not waiting. if it's covid, paxlovid. having even one risk factor, like being over 50, diabetes, or smoking increases your chances of severe covid. taken within five days of symptoms, paxlovid reduced the risk of developing severe covid-19 by 86%. paxlovid may strengthen or weaken other medicines. taking it with certain medicines may cause life threatening side effects or affect how paxlovid works. so it's critical to tell your doctor about all medicines you take including herbal supplements, because lab tests or changing the dose of your medicines may be needed. tell your doctor if you have any serious illnesses, allergies, liver or kidney disease, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant,

are breastfeeding, or use birth control. paxlovid may affect how your birth control works. don't take paxlovid if you're allergic to nirmatrelvir, ritonavir, or any of its ingredients. serious side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, and issues with hiv medicines. other side effects include altered taste, diarrhea, high blood pressure, muscle aches, abdominal pain, nausea, and feeling unwell. with my asthma, i knew it could be riskier. if it's covid, paxlovid. ask your doctor or pharmacist if paxlovid is right for you.

people have been pouring into the streets of france over the government's controversial plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. >> sam kylie is in paris for us. we can see the flames and smoke and the protestors behind you. tell us more about what's happening. >> reporter: i was on the other side of that fire, and it was deadly quiet. there was a substantial police presence, as you can see now, though, there is a bond fire burning where they just burnt an effigy of president macron. the reason for that, there was then admi

demonstrations last night because of the decision to overrule the people who legislate for there, the national assembly. president macron used an unusual part of the constitution that givee ran through legislation to reform the pension age from 62 to 64 against what he assumed to be the wishes of the national parliament, where his party does not have a majority. the result has been this. so far these demonstrations have been quiet. there's perhap 2s,000 people here or so. and many, many hundreds of police just down here. you can see their blue lights flashing. they have effectively encircled the whole of the central square, this absolutely at the heart of paris, very close to the heart of french democracy. for many people, that's what this demonstration is about. it's not just about protecting their pension rights, as they see them. there's three quarters of the country that are in support of

those pepnsion rights. there have been fireworks and perhaps other things going off in that bondfire. 2/3 of the country support the continuation, the status quo of the pensions. they're against macron's proposals. but they are in favor of an orderly opposition to that, not too much of this. so the unions are planning next thursday to have something much more orderly. but this being on day two, the real issue for the french authorities is how they're going to handle it. are they going to, excuse the pun, let this burn out inside a secure cordon, or are they going to go in heavier handed as they did last night and risk a much more violent response from the population? >> so sam, president macron is very savvy. i would imagine that he would have anticipated there would be

strong pushback to this move. that raises the question of just how dire the economic future is there in terms of paying out pensions. >> reporter: yeah, you've got an aiming population, as you have in all of europe, really. the pension system the french have is much more generous. the fact is, french people believe that they have a right, that it is something they have looked forward to for many people, particularly working class people in this country, who started work very young, perhaps at 16, rather looking forward to getting out of the workforce come 60, let alone 62 or 64. so this has been a proposal that macron has had on the table. he says there's a 12.5 billion euro deficit in the pension pot, which means people in work today are having to pay. the macron argument is for

people to go out of work earlier. part of his wider efforts to try to reform the whole french economy which, at the end of the day, also requires a change in the way of life. a lot of people are resisting that. >> wow. >> we're hearing some of the protestors behind you. stay safe, sam. thank you for the reporting. the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for vladamir putin, who the court says is responsible for a scheme to deport thousands of ukrainian children to russia. the president of the international criminal court joins us, next. here's a little number you'll never forget. ♪ custotomize and save. ♪ only payay for what you need. ♪ libertyty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ you love closing a deal. but hate managing your business from afar. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates
