one of the most consequential meetings of nato in more than history. president biden meeting with fellow leaders right now and facing a central question, the path forward for ukraine to join them as president zelenskyy is about to arrive. former president trump's legal team is asking for a delay in his classified documents trial until after the presidential campaign is over, this as georgia's district attorney is another step closer to a potential indictment on state charges. the water just keeps coming. residents in vermont are being told to seek higher ground. state officials warning torrential rain and flooding could cause two dams to breach today. i'm kate bolduan with sara si sidner. this is "cnn news central." president biden is at the
6:02 am
critical nato summit in lithuania right now. hugely important for many reasons. one, especially because of the timing of the meeting, and also because of what is at stake in this moment. biden and allies have already scored a win heading into the gathering with turkey's about face, turkey making the surprise move in dropping its opposition to sweden's membership meaning very soon there will be 32 members of the alliance. we'll see biden sitting down with turkish president erdogan this morning. and tomorrow president biden is scheduled to meet with ukrainian president zelenskyy and is going to face a central question hanging over the nato summit which is what to do about ukraine's quest to join their ranks. all this all the more urgent as russia intensifies its attacks on ukraine. this morning several buildings were damaged in attacks on the capital in kyiv. and at least three people were wounded in more russian shelling on kherson. arlette saenz is following all
6:03 am
of this from lithuania to start us off. what have you already heard from leaders this morning? it has been a busy morning and much more to come. >> reporter: yeah, it certainly has been a busy morning. president biden is heading into the summit hoping that nato can emerge more unified and strengthened as officials are hoping to send a message to vladimir putin. but even as they are celebrating the win as turkey made that stunning reversal allowing sweden into the alliance, there is already a major flash point emerging when it comes to ukraine's possible pathway towards joining the nato alliance down the road. now, president biden heading into the summit was very clear that now is not the time for ukraine to join nato, that the war is still ongoing, they can't risk putting nato countries into direct conflict with russia, and also noting that reforms still need to be made on ukraine's
6:04 am
part before any type of entrance into the alliance. earlier today national security adviser jake sullivan said that the u.s. and its allies planned on sending a positive and united signal to ukraine regarding that pathway towards membership. and president biden had this to say as he met with secretary-general stoltenberg earlier today. >> we agree on the language that we've proposed -- that you proposed relative to the future of ukraine being able to join nato. and we're looking forward to a continued united nato. >> reporter: and just moments before that, ukrainian president zelenskyy who was set to travel here to the nato summit today, he issued a fiery comment on twitter regarding the discussions that are under way about ukraine's membership. zelenskyy has been seeking security guarantees and also wants to have a clearer time frame laid out.
6:05 am
and in that tweet he wrote, it is unprecedented and absurd when time frame is not set neither for the invitation nor for ukraine's membership. while at the same time vague wording about conditions is added even for inviting ukraine. he added it seems there is no readiness neither to invite ukraine to nato nor to make it a member of the alliance. and he later added uncertainty is weakness. so this certainly will come up in that meeting president biden is set to have with zelenskyy tomorrow. but at this moment as well, you've heard from president biden, stoltenberg, really celebrate the fact that they were able to get turkey to get to the approval of sweden which is really now expanding the nato territory as they are trying to ramp up their deterrence efforts especially with russia's war still looming. >> absolutely. since russia's war in ukraine began, they are now looking at two new members of nato happening since the inception of
6:06 am
the war. much more to come. we'll head back to lithuania later in the show. now that turkey dropped its opposition, the secretary-general welcomed the swedish prime minister to the nato table this morning along with the president of finland which is nato's newest member. nato's chief saying these new developments will strengthen the alliance especially in light of the war in ukraine. melissa bell is joining us now from vilnius. after a year of opposing sweden's admission, turkey has now done an about-face. what caused this? >> he does so under a great deal of pressure and right up until the last minute with a very personal engagement of the american president himself. there is of course so much at stake. the fact that this has lasted an entire year and delayed what is a crucial decision for the very architecture of european security is perhaps what is most
6:07 am
surprising. still that deal came on the very eve of the summit. and suddenly the fears that it would overshadow -- the deep divisions would overshadow the far more fundamental question which is the question of ukraine was crucial. have a listen to president biden. >> sweden has the same value set that we have in nato. has a small nation but has the capacity to defend itself, they know how to fight. and i think they should be a member of nato. you know better than anyone the holdup is turkey. what i'm trying to put together is a little bit of a consortium here where strength in nato in terms of military capacity both greece as well as turkey and allow sweden to come in. but it is in play. it is not done.
6:08 am
>> reporter: but why did the dead lock go on until the very eve, the answer of course is leverage. essentially turkey could come into this summit with all of the demands that it has with regard for instance to its long standing wishes of being able to join the european union. those are two very separate issues you might say and yet that is what president erdogan used until the very last minute to try to get the backing at this stage from the swedes toward those accession plans. they have all vowed to speak about them more positively. but clearly a win for erdogan but more important win for nato that these issues should have been resolved at the 11th hour but just in time. and now the issue of ukraine can be considered. >> melissa bell, thank you so much. joining us to talk more about this is retired colonel
6:09 am
alexander vinman. great to have you here. let's first talk about ukraine and their quest to join nato. you want to see ukraine as a member of nato. what do you think of what you have heard from biden's national security adviser, jake sullivan, how he spoke about it and also biden himself, we played it a moment ago, on the path for ukraine and timing. how do you decipher their wording? >> to me the president's own remarks about ukraine not being ready for nato says it all. frankly, it is the reverse that is true. nato is not ready for ukraine to join. ukraine is in a lot of ways met the bar already through a successful war, defending itself against russia. nato has a history of allowing countries that don't meet all the thresholds, certainly the thresholds established after the collapse of the soviet union,
6:10 am
but plenty of countries have been admitted to nato for more basic reasons. it is a collective defense organization. ukraine is already doing that. ukraine is already employing nato weapons systems. so it is whether nato has the political will, whether the u.s. government has the political will. thus far it looks like the demonstration is no. the biden administration is not prepared to take the risks of introducing a concrete path for ukraine to join nato. on fears of provocation to russia and what russia does in response. to me that is poor business. saying something like ukraine can't join while there is a war going on invites putin he goes po -- explicitly to maintain the war. it is a recipe for disaster. we should not have said something like that. >> i want to play for you two more takes on this central question. one from the secretary of state antony blinken just this morning and also the secretary-general of nato today. listen to this please.
6:11 am
>> when it comes to membership, i think the summit will take note of the progress that ukraine has made which has been significant. and at the same time, the fact that work remains to be done in terms of reforming its military, strengthening its democracy. >> on the membership issue, i expect that our allies will send a clear and positive message on the path forward towards membership for ukraine. >> this speaks to exactly what you were just calling out. do you in hearing that at the beginning as they are heading into the nato summit, are you hopeful for what is going to come out or do you think if the range is lip service or something substantially more, what do you think will come? >> i think that there will be substantial gains. i think at minimum nato is going to have to declare wider aperture for support, a deeper base of support for ukraine and the war effort. but i'm not particularly hopeful that there will be very kind of
6:12 am
wretch revolutionary thinking. it is still mired in the rhetoric of the past that ukraine has certain hoops to jump through in order to get there. in fact ukraine should be able to join even in the context of war, there are probably paths to it. >> even in the context of the midst of the war. i heard blinken say that he doesn't think that even zelenskyy thinks that in the midst of a war that they would be joining. >> there is a bit of old think here. there is a prohibition on ukraine joining because it automatically triggers a nato article v and collective defense response. i think that is probably -- certainly there is no appetite for it, but i think that is still old think. there are paths to do this where ukraine gets unlimited support, where nato extends collective defense, territory that ukraine currently has -- >> invitation is a difference and distinction from actual mbership. >> that's right. zelenskyy said.ad for you what
6:13 am
high school ab that time frame is not set neither for invitation nor for ukraine membership while at the same time vague wording about conditions even for inviting ukraine. it seems there is no readiness neither to vft nor make it a member of the alliance. and he says this leave as window of opportunity to bargain in negotiations with russia. look, zelenskyy plays -- has never been shy to ask or call out when he wants something. but as he is heading into this meeting with allies and specifically when he is about to sit down with biden tomorrow, do you think zelenskyy could be pushing too hard? >> i don't think there is such a thing as zelenskyy pushing too hard. he is the leader of a country at war between russia and russian domination and erase of
6:14 am
ukrainian nationality. so he's doing the right thing. for me, this is much bigger than just ukraine. this is about u.s. security, this is about nato security and stability. and what he is doing is frankly he's fighting for that long term stability and ability to reject this those that powerful nation can attack a nation on its border and achieve through military aims what it can't do through political aims. so i think he's doing the right thing. i encourage him do more. i've done this directly in the past. i just came back on friday. but he's doing the right thing. >> is there something more that you think he could say publicly, something more that you think he should approach it privately to push this along and shorten the pathway? >> i think there is probably a couple things that he needs to do. one is he needs to set aside or
6:15 am
address this argument about the threat of russian escalation. he needs to address this idea that somehow a russian loss is -- the unwinding of russia through this catastrophic war is controllable. we should be planning for a russia that starts to -- these fractures start to expand. we don't know what russia looks like, but we can't be subject to those fears. so he should be articulating the views and then saying that ukraine can bolster nato security, a world in which ukraine inside nato end this is idea that putin could continue the war indefinitely and this is the shortest part to concluding the war. i think that is the biggest thing that could happen. i encourage the president and his team to take a step back from kind of the rhetoric of the past, relook at the situation and see if there is a more robust approach far beyond 2008
6:16 am
in bucharest where there was this idea of extending nato membership without a concrete time line. this has to be concrete steps to deliver security for europe, to deliver security for nato and the euro atlantic alliance. and that means a clear path for ukraine into nato. >> and i think you're laying out how important this nato summit could be for the u.s. and for ukraine. good to see you. thank you for being here. a new grand jury set to be seated soon in georgia. the 2020 election case against donald trump nears the announcement of potential charges. and catastrophic flooding hits vermont trapping people in flooded homes and drivers on deluged roads. crews have made more than 100 rescues as president biden declares a state of emergency. we are live with the latest there. and for the first time in more than a century, the u.s. marines don't have a confirmed leader. a single senator is holding up hundreds of military

in georgia the men and women who will ultimately have the power to indict donald trump on election interference charges will begin to be selected. next hour criminal prosecutors in atlanta who have been investigating the former president's alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election in georgia will start randomly seating a new grand jury in the case. this grand jury will weigh charges recommended by a previous special grand jury back in february. and recently fulton county district attorney fani willis signaled final charges decisions could come as early as august. here is what is key to understand for today. 23 grand jurors and three alternates need to be selected here. but to secure charges in this case, at least 10 of the 23 vote
6:22 am
being member -- 16 of the 23 would need to be present and then at least 12 votes needed to hand up an indictment. nick valencia is outside the courthouse. this case is just one of course of many of trump's legal woes. can you walk us through what is at stake in this particular case? >> reporter: yeah, so much at stake here. principally will we see former president trump indicted yet again. this has been a sprawling investigation which includes ob juk instruction of justice and racketeering charges. the special purpose grand jury were in the evidence gathering phase. investigation. they had subpoena power and they heard from 75 witnesses including former trump advisers, white house aides, people in trump's orbit, georgia
6:23 am
officials. after they were done hearing from those witness, they handed over charging recommendations to the district attorney, fani willis. willis will now take those recommendations to one of the grand juries selected here today. the biggest question is whether or not the former president's name is on those charging recommendations. listen to the foreperson of the special grand jury in february. >> i really don't want to share something that the judge made a conscious decision not to share. i will tell you that it was a process where we heard his name a lot. we definitely heard a lot about former president trump. and we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. and i will say that when this list comes out, you wouldn't -- there are no major plot twists waiting for you. >> reporter: two grand juries will be selected here today, 26
6:24 am
jurors each, ultimately 16 needed for quorum, 12 will have to agree in order to bring a potential indictment against the former president and those in his orbit. one of these juries again will have to hear and handle the trump investigation. this process of picking the grand jurors, they will come from this heavily democratic county of fulton county. it is expected to last all day with the anticipation and expectation that we could hear about indictments one way or another as early as august. >> nick valencia, thank you for that reporting. new this morning, donald trump's legal team is asking the judge to hold off on setting a trial date in the former president's classified documents case. in a late night court filing, trump's legal team said the presidential election cycle and the way they put it will create extraordinary challenges in the jury selection process. they want the trial delayed until after the 2024 election contending that otherwise it will be virtually impossible to see the an impartial jury.
6:25 am
lawyers for walt nauta are also looking for a delay. paula reid has much more on this one. 35u pa paula, what are you hearing from the special counsel? >> reporter: jack smith says he wants a speedy trial. he suggested doing it in december which feels like it is a ways away, but given the complexities of this case, it would be a speedy trial. but the former president has every incentive to want to delay it until after the election. you can't just tell the judge it is not convenient, you have to put forward legal arguments. they will argue that it will raise unprecedented questions that will have to be litigated and that will take time. and also the question about whether you can even seat an impartial jury leading up to something as consequential as a presidential election. and also laid out about half a dozen other legal challenges that they intend to bring in
6:26 am
this case. everything from questions about whether these documents were really classified to trying to challenge the authority of the special counsel. now, it is not likely that they will succeed with those challenges, but they have every right to bring them and they have the effect of delaying this. this takes time for the courts to hash out these questions. and that is what jack smith was worried about. that is why one of the few things he said publicly is that he wanted this to move quickly, that that is in the public interest. so the final word lies with the judge as she decides whether she will let this sort of play out over a few years or if she too will push for a speedy trial. and finally just one example of this, they had a hearing scheduled for this friday. walt nauta wanted to delay that and the special counsel pushed back, absolutely not. they went to the mats over this. they said that in the public interests not to keep delaying things because he knows that you have of course these big
6:27 am
questions about being able to see the an impartial jury, but even the little incremental scheduling delays add up over time. so as of now it appears that it will be next week instead. so not a long delay, but again, other time these little delays add up and it is up to the judge to decide when it goes to trial. >> good to see you, thanks for the update. with us now is legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elliott williams. thank you for joining us. first let's get to the likelihood of all of this. what is the likelihood that judge cannon will agree to postponing this? really trump is asking until after the presidential election. >> yeah, that is a political question, not a legal one. certainly any criminal defendant has a right to a fair trial at a reasonable time. trying to postpone it until after the election i think poses a few problems for president trump. i think number one, when it comes to juries, the law
6:28 am
anticipates that jurors can be fair if instructed as to what their duties and obligations are. a lot of jurors say i could never hold this person in judgment and then the judge sprains what exp explains what and then the juror will agree to it. so i think that they can find a fair juror in a county of 1.1 million people. the other question is that trump is quite literally the most famous person on the planet, or at least one of them. whether tried prior to the election or not, his fame will still be an issue. so this whole idea that he just can't get a fair trial anywhere i think won't hold much water. >> you make good point. his name is known worldwide. that won't change during the election. i want to ask you about aide walt nauta. he is asking for a delay for different reasons. obviously donald trump helping to pay for his attorneys as well. do you think that these two
6:29 am
moves are really just a tactic for the delay or is this a reasonable request with nauta saying look, my main attorney is doing something else, trying something else, but the prosecution says that he has a florida attorney that can do just fine. >> sara sidner, stop, you're both right. number one, as a criminal defendant, he is entitled to a fair trial. and i think prosecutors and judges are often very careful on issues like this because the one thing that can mess up a conviction and get it thrown out on appeal is jeopardizing or violating a defendant's trial rights. so i think they are proceeding with a bit of caution. look, it does appear that he is trying to slow the proceedings down quite a bit with the number of these pleadings and filings. at a certain point the judge can just set a trial date and document on the record these are all the opportunities the prosecution has given the defendant, this is when all of the hearings were, this is in fact a fair trial date and put it on the calendar and see what
6:30 am
happens. but again the prosecutor and judge have to proceed with a bit of caution because this could really jeopardize the case in the end. >> i want to ask you about another legal case that is coming up in georgia. of course they are seating another grand jury after having already sat a special grand jury. why does another grand jury need to be seated in this case? it was interesting to see these two things, i had not seen that before. >> well, georgia is unique -- maybe not unique, but particular in the sense that they have a provision for the special grand juries impanelled for a specific purpose and can recommend charges but not actually vote on them or bring them. after something goes to a special grand jury, then it is brought to a regular grand jury and that is what is happening here. this group of 23 jurors will have to now vote on the charges that are presented to them. s most of the time they tend to vote on charges. prosecutors have already vetted they believe a crime has been
6:31 am
krited, most of the time they will proceed with charges but they don't have to if they are not convinced. a number of people being investigated here and any of them could be charged. >> elliott williams, thank you so much. and next hour, they will begin this process of seating those new grand jurors. coming up, also for us, protests erupt in israel this morning. it is being called a day of disruption and resistance. there have been a dozens of arrests already. we'll take you there. and downtown of vermont capital city shut down this morning. look at montpelier. severe flooding there and it is expected to get even worse. this is your summer to smile. to raise your glass and reconnect. to reel in the fun and savor every bite. to help you get ready yourur aspen dental team is celebrating 2525 years of affordable care with an epic summer of f smiles event.

this morning vermont authorities are urging residents? t in the state capital to seek higher ground. and more dams right now are threatening to reach capacity and spill over after what has just been torrential rains. people living in the area for years say they haven't seen anything like this since irene hit them back in 2011. the flooding has wiped out entire streets, left two areas of the state completely inaccessible is how they are describing it with emergency crews rescuing dozens of people. miguel marquez is on the ground for us. you've been out all morning and yesterday as well. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: we're actually in
6:37 am
the capital month peel montpelie at the branch of the river. the good news is that the sun is out. bad news is that the water is still rising. this is the taylor street bridge, we're about a block from the statehouse here. give you a sense of what it sounds like. [ rushing water ] i'm watching the river, it is mesmerizing to watch. we were here several hours this morning, and the water was below the bridge. now it is coming up over the top. and it has been for a while. they are concerned for the next several hours that that reservoir that is north of here, it may overtop the reservoir there and dump even more water into this area. and that would cause problems with this bridge and other areas. look at the bridge just below us, this is just west of where we're at, that is a walking bridge, also a trestle bridge
6:38 am
and the water is hitting that. we have seen everything from trees to construction debris to it looks like parts of either businesses or homes hitting these bridges. you can feel it just shake as it hits. amazingly so far there have been no confirmed fatalities in all the rain that vermont has had. they have effected over 100 rescues at this point by water. you see rescue teams now everywhere and it is impossible to get through here. i tried to cross state street this morning about a block up that way, so the main street through the capital, couldn't getting across it, it was up to my waist and moving so fast. there was a car stuck in there right now that we've been watching. you can start to see the top of it. so the water is coming down ever so slightly. but they are afraid in the next hours ahead they may see more water come down this way. >> as the governor tweeted out, even if the rain stopped that does not mean that the

floodwaters don't continue to rise. and protestors in israel have gun whatbegun what they arg a day of disruption and crisis dance as anger over judicial reform once again has boiled over. demonstrators erupted across the country after lawmakers moved forward monday on a plan to strip the supreme court of some of its power. it is part of a larger controversial overhaul of israel's you additional system. hadas gold is following developments for us. what have you been seeing and give us some sense of exactly why protestors are so angry about this. >> reporter: yeah, i'm at israel's main airport. as you can see and hear, the protestors are out here in force blocking arrivals. and we know that they have been blocking other parts of the airport, blocking some of the entry roads to the airport. and this is part of a massive
6:40 am
day of disruption that these protestors have planned. it started early in the morning and going late into the evening. all across the country. and there have been protests here now for six months at least against this judicial overhaul plan. but the reason that today has been sort of an amped up version of that is because of what you mentioned, the legislation that was passed last night. this is an attempt, first vote of three that this particular piece of legislation meets, an attempt to strip the supreme court of its ability to declare government actions as unreasonable. it is part of the overall massive you additional overhaul plan that the government is pushing forward. but that plan has been frozen in place since march since the massive general strikes and defense minister coming out against the plan. there were attempts at negotiations with the opposition, but they failed. and that is why the coalition government led by benjamin netanyahu is pushing forward to make this overhaul legislation. they are doing it smaller in a
6:41 am
piece meal fashion and they say that they have removed some of the more controversial elements of the plan. but even that watered down version potentially is not enough for these protestors and the opposition because they essentially don't believe anything that tbenjamin netanyau says. and that is why they are out here and some say that they will be pitching tents to make the protest even more permanent. >> yeah, they believe this is a process of checks and balances eroding. and so they will be out there for quite some time. thank you very much for your reporting. and coming up for us, why a single u.s. senator is holding up hundreds of military nominations in the senate. his reasoning and what it could mean now for the u.s. marines. age is just a number, and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high prototein. boost® high prprotein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor.

for the first time in more than 100 years, a major branch of the u.s. military does not have a confirmed leader. general david berger relinquished command in this ceremony that happened just yesterday actually. but his successor's confirmation is still on hold and languishing in the senate because of this man, tommy tuberville, republican senator, he is holding up all military nominations the right now, more than 250 of them. tuberville objects to the pentagon's reproductive health care policies including offering leave and travel funds for abortion care. lauren fox has the latest from which i will. good which capitol hill. where does this stand with the
6:47 am
marines? >> reporter: yeah, tommy tuberville has had this hold for several months now. and it has stopped numbers of military promotions from being confirmed in the u.s. senate. typically these would be done by voice vote, they are not controversial, but this is under new scrutiny because now the marine corps is without a leader for the first time in 164 years. and there has been lawmakers on both the republican and democratic side who have argued had they don't agree with tuberville's tactic including mitch mcconnell, the republican leader. but behind the scenes tuberville says he is not feeling any pressure from the defense department or his own republican leadership. instead he says that he wants one thing, and what he wants is a vote on the senate floor enshrining the pentagon policy that they will cover the cost of travel for service members and their families if they have to cross state lines because abortion procedures are not legal in the states where they are residing. it is important to point out to
6:48 am
our audience back home that lot of service members are stationed in places that they have no choice to be stationed in, that is part of serving in the u.s. military. so the pentagon after the dobbs decision said that they would enact this policy. what tuberville says okay, if this policy is going to come from the pentagon, it really should be coming from the u.s. senate. if it can't pass the senate, then they should repeal it. we should point out there nts into won't be 60 votes for this policy because there are many republicans, democrats don't have 60 votes. so it is important to point out that tommy tuberville's hold right now, republican and democratic leaders could move the nominees one by one on the floor, but that would take years at this point. tuberville also appeared on kaitlan collins' new show last night and he doubled down on some controversial comments he made about white nationalists serving in the military. here is what he said. >> white nationalist is someone who believes that the white race
6:49 am
is superior to other races. >> well, that is some people's opinion. and i don't think - >> what is your opinion? >> my opinion, if somebody wants to call them a white nationalist, to me it is an american. if that white nationalist is a racist, i'm totally against anything that they want to do because i'm 110% against racism. but people believe in different things -- >> believing whites are -- >> that is your opinion. if it is racism, i'm totally against it. >> obviously tuberville had made similar comments in the past. but one of his republican colleagues appeared on cnn this morning and was asked by phil mattingly about this, and mike rounds doubled down and said that he does not believe white nationalists serving in the military. but tommy tuberville doubling down on his previous comments.

call it a corporate exodus. more than 1,000 companies have left russia since putin's invasion of ukraine. but some major companies that pledged to leave have broken their promise and are still doing business this russia according to yale research shared exclusively with cnn. a yale professor says supporting those companies amount to helping fuel putin's war machine. he calls their actions shameful. matt egan is joining us with the details. first thing everyone will want to know is who are the companies and can you walk us through the findings here. >> reporter: this is a big deal. because it really undermines what has been an unprecedented
6:55 am
corporate exodus from russia. and what this new research from yale finds is actually based on a whistleblower and corporate documents and enstudents who are inside of russia right now. the yale professor is accusing multiple companies of basically breaking their promise to leave russia or at least dramatically scale back there, including unilever, nestle and others. he is not saying that they are breaking lawsuit but they are breaking a moral code. listen. >> it is beyond disappointing to the point of shameful and unethical. they are breaking their promises. they are functioning as wartime profiteers benefiting from the mass slaughter of innocent civilians showing no current for their most valued resource, the
6:56 am
most valued position which is the trust of the institution, the character of the brand. so they ary are self-emulating r own brand. >> reporter: strong words there. he says that the poster child of this problem is hieineken which over a year after promising to get out of russia still has seven breweries there, employs 1800 people in the country. and heineken told me that the war in ukraine is a, quote, terrible human tragedy. they say they are still committed to getting out of russia. they actually already have a potential deal in place to sell their business in russia, but like a lot of other companies, they are having problems getting regulatory approval to actually get out of russia. and that was a common theme here that we've heard from companies, that russia, moscow, have made it
6:57 am
it difficult for companies to get out, but we have more than 1,000 to get out. >> yes, and hard for them to shutdown or to sell off? >> i think that it is both. they have put up legal restrictions that actually make it very hard or the sell those assets. forces the companies to basically give it up to the state, and some companies don't want to do that for understandable reasons, and they don't want to hurt people in russia or employees or customers, but the yale professor rejected that argument, and he said that the whole purpose is to turn up the heat on russia. >> thank you, matt egan. kate? >> these are the live pictures in the courtroom and you can see
