major developments out of hollywood, a tentative deal between writers and studios. this could soon end a strike that's put productions on hold for nearly five months now. does this mean actors might make

a deal next? five days left until a government shutdown. could there also just be five days left in kevin mccarthy's speakership? hanging in the balance not just his job but the jobs and salaries of thousands of workers. and the calls are coming from inside the house and the senate now, a growing number of democrats say senator bob menendez needs to step down after being charged with bribery. the senator is set to speak out this morning for the first time since the indictment came down. i'm sara sidner with john berman, kate bolduan is off. this is "cnn news central." ♪ they have a deal, but it's tentative, after 146 days on strike the writers guild of america has agreed to terms with major studios but the deal is not quite put to bed yet. if they can finalize it popular

tv shows and films could soon be returning. for months now most of hollywood has been shut down as the writers union and another union representing actors have been striking. but more than 11,000 writers may get the green light to return to work as soon as tomorrow. that is if the tentative deal is ratified by union members. still the actors union, sag-aftra remains on the picket line and it represents more than 160,000 actors and economists say the combination of the two strikes has left a $5 billion impact on the nation's economy. cnn's camila bernal is in los angeles for us. can you give us some sense of the deal that has been made tentatively between the writers and the studios? >> reporter: well, they have not released any details, sara, so everybody is just sort of holding their breath waiting to see the exact details what these two sides agreed on but i talked to a lot of the writers and they were telling me, look, they knew

our demands, they knew what we wanted in terms of wages, streaming and residuals and also in terms of artificial intelligence. a lot of writers i talked to told me we're confident in those wga negotiators. sources did tell cnn that that last sticking point was artificial intelligence. it's not easy to deal with something that we don't really know, we don't understand a lot of it and don't know what's going to be developed in the future. so that took some time and a lot of the writers have also told me, look, we're ready to go back to work but the union is telling them not yet. they are being told, look, we have to work through some of the techni technicalities, they are working through the language of the contract. then there are leadership votes, those are expected to happen tomorrow. after that happens then the deal is going to be made public and we will be able to see exactly what they negotiated. the writers will be able to ask questions and eventually vote to ratify this deal. but again, we're waiting for the

actors as well. so even if this deal does go through and the writers ratify it, we're waiting for sag-aftra and a lot of people seem to think that maybe this will encourage them or essentially speed up their process, but we have to wait and see because a lot of these productions are likely not going to go back to normal until the actors also come to an agreement with the studios. really there is a sigh of relief here, but we're still waiting because we do not know what's going to happen with the actors, sara. >> that still remains to be seen, the actors still striking, about 160,000 of them are part of that union. i want to ask you about the writers here. does this mean we will not see them in the streets striking while this deal is being hashed out? >> well, this is a really good question because what the wga is actually telling them is go out to the streets, but only the sag-aftra picket lines. so what they're being told is we no longer have any picket lines

for wga, but there are still the actors who are out there, so the writers are being told go out on the street, but only to support the actors. so really this is just a big family, everybody works with each other here. this has been a very difficult five months for everybody in the industry and, yes, there is some hope on the horizon, but again, they're supporting the actors and hoping that that deal also comes to a resolution soon, sara. >> camila bernal, thank you for that update. we are standing by for the first public remarks from democratic senator bob menendez since his corruption indictment. his office just announced that he will deliver a statement a little bit later this morning. we will bring that to you live. and these words come as more and more politicians from his own party call on him to resign. cnn's sara murray is with us now. this will be a big moment for senator menendez. >> yeah, it's going to be a very interesting day for the senator.

obviously as you said this is the first time we are going to see him making comments in public since he and his wife were indicted on bribery charges, a corruption-related charges. again, second time in ten years menendez has faced these corruption-related charges. the last time there was a mistrial, he was acquitted by a judge on a number of charges and the justice department declined to retry him on a number of others. now they are back at this. menendez has just been defiant throughout all of this. i want you to take a listen to him talking back in april about this investigation and how convinced he was it was going to lead nowhere. >> to any new jersey voters watching right now who may have concerns that, again, you're facing scrutiny over corruption, what is your response to them? >> the response to what is simply that, number one, this inquiry will end up, i believe, in absolutely nothing and if anyone looks at my history on

egypt that would know by denying aid and arms sales to egypt, criticizing its human rights effort i'm not in a position to be helpful to anyone as it relates to egypt. >> reporter: now, since he has been indicted he has said i am not going anywhere. he has been insist ept that he is not stepping down even though he has had to step aside from his role as chair of the senate foreign relations committee. he is up for reelection next year. if he addresses his political future in his remarks today. we are hearing more democrats come out and call for senator menendez to step down, to step aside. not necessarily a drum beat of all of his senate colleagues, but we have heard from pennsylvania senator john fetterman saying he should step down, new jersey governor phil murphy saying he should resign as well as a couple other members of congress. we will see if this drum beat continues to grow but there has

been a certain amount of deference to his senate colleagues when it comes to his political future. >> sara murray, watching this alongside us. thank you very much. with us john bres nihan. what's the most complicated thing he could say for national democrats, john? >> he could run for reelection and that would be a big problem for them. new jersey has legislative elections on november 7th. i mean, new jersey -- i was talking to one of the new jersey democrats last night and they are like, gosh, we really hope he announces he is not running again. if he runs again he becomes an issue in every race. you have seen a couple races, senate races, where the candidates, democratic candidates called on him to resign. in california adam schiff and

katie porter, both called on him to resign, elissa slotkin in michigan, she's called on menendez to resign. he is as sara murray said, he is defiant. we expect something at 11:30. i covered the 2015 indictment leading up to that and his trial and everything. he was very defiant all the way through that. it's in his character to dig in and push back as much as he can. >> people may be speculating senator menendez will come up with a statement this morning, is he going to resign. i think the expectation is, no, not only not going to resign but the concern as you say is actually go further and say not only am i not resigning but i'm running for reee section. why is it that maybe some of these national democrats, particularly new jersey democrats, don't have sway with him? >> you know, menendez has his power bases in union city, north

jersey, he came out of that, he was very -- he grew up very humble origins, he is the son of cuban immigrants, he has for a long time he called himself the top latino in congress and was senior latino member in congress. that's not quite true right now, but he argues that he's being persecuted because of his latino heritage. this is why he's been indicted more than once. the only senator in u.s. history that's been criminally indicted more than once. we had congresswoman ocasio-cortez say i'm a latina and this is not true. she called on him to resign. these charges are serious. menendez -- the allegations if you read the indictment they're absolutely bonkers. he was getting gold buh i don't know bullion. he's got $480,000 in cash.

back win he gave that interview that you guys ran a clip on, his home had been raided in june 2022. they knew this was coming for more than a year. so this is just -- this is shocking that, you know, he kept acting like nothing was happening in this whole case the whole time, that he knew he was -- the feds had been in his home and seized all this money. so it's just -- you know, it's par for the course to be back at you, but i just can't believe that he's just -- that every other democrat is going to go along with this. >> john, we've been looking at the pictures, these are actually the exhibits in the indictment where you're seeing those gold bars, you're seeing the cash, you're seeing stuff that was stuffed into some of his jackets there. there was also a car in question. >> a mercedes convertible. >> john had to point that out. i do want to ask you about an interesting twist here, john.

new york representative george santos said you are innocent until proven guilty, but he also said let's let him stay in office. he should not resign. is this the guy you want backing you? >> i don't know if you want george santos who is under criminal indictment himself to be the one to vouch for. it is accurate, very accurate. menendez had been indicted on bribery charges before and the case went to a jury and, you know, it kind of -- it went to trial, it fell apart and the justice department withdrew its charges. in that case it was interesting because menendez was able to raise millions of dollars, he argued that the obama administration was targeting him because he was against the iran nuclear accord which president obama had negotiated at that point. and this time he doesn't really have that argument. it's the biden administration is completely different set of people other than vice president biden, but bone fascinating --

you talked about the egyptian angle. there are very serious allegations here that he was giving information on u.s. personnel in the embassy through his wife to egyptian officials while they were negotiating with the united states. i think that's a bridge too far for a lot of folks. this is not the allegation that we saw in 2015. this is you're involved allegedly with a foreign power passing information to them. i mean, i think that's a completely different type of charge and i think that's very serious for a lot of members of congress. >> a lot of the charges are extremely serious, i think that the charge involving an egyptian businessman is probably the most serious in many people's eyes. john bresnahan, thank you so much. you know your stuff and i know you will be covering this for us as well as punchbowl news. house speaker kevin mccarthy says some of his own members want to burn the place down. one republican says they are about to eat an "s" sandwich.

what is kevin mccarthy's new plan to keep the government open and maybe save his job. cassidy hutchinson speaking out for the first time since testifying before the january 6 committee. her response to critics and what she would like to see in the 2024 race.

this morning the clock is -- >> if speaker mccarthy ultimately allows a deal to pass with democratic votes would you support ousting him from the speaker's chair?

>> that would be something i would look strongly at, ma'am. >> cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill this morning. all right. lauren, i know that everyone is off today, it is i don't mean kip if kip pure. >> reporter: right now there isn't a clear plan to avoid a shutdown, instead you have republicans trying to make sure that the right flank of their party may get comfortable with some kind of spending deal. the way they're trying to do it is have votes on individual spending bills, one-year spending bills to fund the department of defense, homeland security, state and agriculture, but those bills would not allowed a government shutdown. however, therapies of legislation that hardliners have asked the speak tore put on the floor. the reason they're going ahead with this strategy is they are hoping as they build trust with those hardliners that they can convince them to rally around a

short-term bill to fund the government for a couple of weeks. but again, that would be a republican-only bill in the house of representatives. another option that likely would be dead on arrival in the senate and, therefore, would not avoid a government shutdown. right now house speaker kevin mccarthy is likely staring down two options, one of which would involve the senate passing their own spending bill, a short-term bill to avoid a shutdown that would be negotiated between minority leader mitch mcconnell and majority leader chuck schumer. he would have to make the decision to put it on the floor of the house. but as you heard there, if he makes that decision to work with democrats to try to pass this out of the house to avod the shutdown he likely could face the end of his speakership. so if he didn't want to take that option he would then potentially let the government shut down by not putting anything on the floor of the house. again, house leaders are trying to implore their members to get to yes on a short-term option

hoping if they had a republican passed bill out of the house they could work with the senate to find a compromise but so far they have not been successful in their pleas. the latest one came on saturday in a conference-wide call, john. >> at this point most roads still seem to lead to a shut down. we are watching. lauren fox, keep us posted. >> here is what would happen if the government does shut down. nearly 4 million federal employees would immediately feel the impact. some are deemed essential and would be forced to keep working, others will be furloughed, but none of them will see a paycheck until a funding deal is made. the largest federal employee union with over 750,000 americans includes health care professionals, law enforcement, park rangers, tsa agents and social security workers and they on average earn between $55,000 to $65,000 a year, some of them much less, which led the union's president to make this urgent message to lawmakers. quote, most of our members live

paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to miss one day's pay. that's -- one payday, excuse me. that's why we are calling on congress to do its job. as for americans who don't work for the government, a shutdown can bring some major travel disruptions, for example. public health risks as the epa rolls back inspections at hazard waste sites and drinking water facilities. low income americans could see impacts to their food and housing aid and museums and national parks could close down until there is a bill and it is funded. john? >> it has an impact on lives and the budget to be sure. so former trump white house aide cassidy hutchinson who delivered bombshell testimony to the january 6th congressional investigators is defending herself in her first television interview since that testimony. listen. >> what would i have to gain by coming forward? it would have been easier for me to continue being complicit and

to stay in the comfortable zone of i had some sense of security, a semblance of security. i knew people that i could easily reach out to for jobs. >> in her testimony last year hutchinson said that trump was aware of the potential violence on january 6 but still went a ahead with his attempt to rile up supporters. katelyn polantz is with us now. this is the first time we are hearing at length from cassidy hutchinson. i should note she speaks to jake tapper tomorrow. what's your take away there? >> reporter: john, she's being quite reflective on this decision that she made first when she had gone into the committee she had lawyers paid for by donald trump and she said she didn't -- she didn't recall much at all about what she witnessed at the end of the trump administration and then in her own mind she believes that she did recall. she remembered episodes so she got a new lawyer and testified and now she's reflecting not only on what that consequence was for her, she is saying in

this new interview with cbs that she was fearing for her safety after she did the interview -- or did the public testimony with the house committee, but also she's being a little bit more forthcoming about why she changed her testimony and why she can be trusted. that what she said was true to the best of her recollection. here is a little bit more from that cbs this morning interview yesterday. >> i felt torn a lot of the time because i knew what i knew and i wanted to come forward with what i knew, but at the same time i didn't want to feel like i was betraying them. i heard the door click open and i turned around and looked at my attorney and said i can't do this. he gently pushed my shoulders and said, you can do this, and then we walked out. >> reporter: so, john, we are now hearing what she's saying in her book, we are going to be hearing more from her in the coming days. we have that testimony under oath. but there is another part about cassidy hutchinson as someone

who can speak about the trump administration and what happened on january 6th that is really interesting. we don't know exactly what she said or how useful it is. that's because cbs has reported and we have as well that she's testified to criminal investigators, spoken to them about what she witnessed and we do know that she's part of this fulton county case against donald trump in georgia as well as the federal case against donald trump in washington, d.c. how crucial a witness she is there, what she said to them, if that's useful in the case against trump still remains to be seen. john? >> and i do want to point out we will get much more from cassidy hutchinson tomorrow on cnn, jake tapper will speak with her. katelyn polantz, thank you very much. dueling polls, one poll shows a dead heat, another shows donald trump ahead of joe biden, but everything seems to point to an incredibly tight presidential race in 2024. and mexico says it will deport migrants from its border cities as part of an effort to curb the rise of migrant

crossings into the united states. we have details on the new agreement just ahead.

you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers? it's true. plus, when you buy your first line of mobile, you get a second line free. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. it's not just possible. it's happening.

senate democrats are weighing in this morning on president biden's poor polling numbers and they're telling central bank they are concerned. a new nbc news poll shows the president's arrival rating at 41% and a more alarming sign a "washington post" abc news poll shows biden ten points behind former president trump among registered voters in a head to head national matchup, but the "washington post" is acknowledging this poll may be

an outlier. the nbc poll found biden and trump tied, each getting support from 46% of registered voters nationally. cnn's jeff zeleny joining us to discuss. concerned is a word i feel like that word might be a little more extreme, if you will, looking at these numbers. >> good morning, sara. there's usually an adjective in front of concerned when you talk to democrats about how they are feeling about the white house and the state of joe biden's reelection effort. of course, all of this must be put into context. we are more than a year before the general election next year. that's why all of these polls certainly offer us a sense of where things are, but as you said, that abc news "washington post" poll is an outlier. all of the other recent national polls show that this is essentially a dead heat between president biden and former president donald trump should they actually face off next year in a rematch. the one thing that's very clear, the specifics of these polls are

not as important as the underlying dynamics here and that is that there are challenges for the white house. that they have not overcome concerns about the economy. they are not overcome concerns about im griggs, inflation, on and on. so that is of course the backdrop for all of this. now, this is a big week in presidential politics, one, president biden is going to detroit tomorrow to appear with the striking workers. former president donald trump is going on wednesday to appear in michigan. of course, michigan at the heart of the blue collar workers, at the heart of the blue wall, if you will, the states that trump won in 2016 and biden won four years later. of course, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania so important. there's also a republican presidential debate on wednesday in california that former president donald trump is skipping, but his rivals certainly are there. when you look at a couple other numbers in this weekend poll, this is very interesting. when you ask republicans if they are satisfied with the choices that they have, of course, they have a deep bench, so many

candidates. 86% of republicans say they are satisfied with their choices. some prefer the former president, some prefer other candidates. when you look at democrats are they satisfied? would they like to see someone challenge joe biden. 59% of democrats say they would like to see a challenge. of course, the question remains who would that be? there is no one stepping forward, there is no consensus and the reality is that is very unlikely to happen. on this monday morning that is where things stand, but certainly for the next year plus a very tight race in this deeply divided country. >> it's a snapshot of where we are right now, but it does tell you how people are feeling. thank you so much, jeff zeleny. appreciate you. john? >> with us now is former obama campaign manager jim messina and alice stewart. jim, you have in recent weeks accused members of your own party of being bed wetters or in your words effing bed wetters.

to what extent do new polls like this fill the bladders of some democrats before they go to bed? >> i'm sure it will lead everyone to want a bigger glass of chardonnay tonight. jeff is exactly right, this thing -- this race is going to be really tight. american presidential elections are very tight and in the battleground states that matter, the blue wall, this race will be very tight but history matters as well here. joe biden's numbers are almost exactly what barack obama's numbers were in 2011 when people were counting out president obama. we had the same challenges with messaging on the economy. that takes some time. and polls, you know, i've been very critical of polls because as jeff says we're 410 days out here, they are not predictive. what is predictive is these 30 special elections that we have had in this country in 2023 where democrats are performed 11% better than they did in the last two presidential elections largely because of the abortion

issue and some other issues. the polls don't show that. so polls are nice, everyone gets all excited about them. what actually matters are real numbers and a real contrast between the democrats and republicans and that's what you're going to see on wednesday night in the republican debate. >> alice, there's no debate that president biden's poll numbers are tepid at best. to what extent are republicans giving him a gift by threatening to shut down the government in five days, they're almost guaranteeing there will be a government shutdown in five days and a leading republican presidential contending donald trump is calling on them to shut everything down. >> to that regard they're giving them a gift on a silver platter with a big red bow on t that's going to put all the emphasis on republicans' inability to get things done in washington as opposed to the current biden administration and how people feel about the economy. to jim's benefit, he had the good fortune of working for

barack obama at this time and they were able to work on his favorability numbers leading up to the election. here is the reason i believe fully why democrats are engaged in such bed wetting is because president biden is under water on these approval numbers and, look, we're seeing this with regard to how has he handled the economy, immigration, foreign policy and the numbers are in double digits and that is not an outlier. those polls are consistent with regard to his unfavor abilities across the line. that is going to a difficult hill to climb as he moves closer into the general election. another thing in terms of who is going to stand up and challenge him, "politico" reported that minnesota congressman dean phillips said i'm considering it. he said if democrats are going to be the so-called adults in the room we need to start looking at a better electoral strategy. we do have some that are seriously concerned and potentially others getting in the race. >> jim, you brought up the republican debate which is two nights away. it's not usually your business

to give republicans advice, but if you are one of those candidates who will be on that stage and donald trump will not be one of them, do you choose this time to train your focus on donald trump or does ron desantis have to care about nikki haley or vivek ramaswamy? >> it's a great question. look, right now this tier v bench of elected officials seems to be running for vice president. no one has had the guts to take on donald trump directly here and to beat the king you have to actually go after the king. if i was advising one of those campaigns and thank god i'm not, but if i was i would say, look, at some point if you want to be the republican nominee for president you have to contrast yourself to donald trump. he leads by huge numbers, historic numbers in that primary. or i would look at my candidate and say, okay, what you're really running for is vice president. if you are doing that let's not make donald trump mad. i think that's pretty much the strategy that most of these

folks have. >> alice, what do you see happening on wednesday night? >> look, i think the first debate is more of an introductory opportunity to introduce yourself to a national stage. i talked to all of the candidates that are going to be on the stage and the gloves will be off on wednesday night. they are going to go directly at donald trump. desantis says he's frustrated the other challengers haven't gone after trump as much as they should and given him a pass. nikki haley has gone after trump with regard to how he handled the economy and his current positions on abortion. and all of the candidates are going to show a much stronger contrast between themselves and the other candidates and specifically mike pence, he saw the opportunity in the last debate to show a contrast with vivek. he certainly will do that and tim scott as well. going to be very forceful in showing where they stand not just against the other candidates on the stage, they're going to go directly at donald trump. >> you really think they are because they really didn't the

last time and now there is this four-way tie, the new hampshire polling is interesting, you have a four-way tie for second with everyone around 10%, alice. >> yeah, that's going to be the difficult dance that they will make is going after donald trump without alienating his base. and they fully understand that but they also realize what they've been doing is these soft punches or pokes at trump isn't working. trump is 40 points ahead of the field and they realize you have to get donald trump out of the way in order to get to joe biden or whoever the democratic nominee will be and they realize this is a very important opportunity to do so on wednesday night and it might be in their best interest that donald trump won't be there, he will be on the picket line instead of the debate stage and they will definitely take this as a more forceful opportunity to make their case against the candidates, specifically donald trump. >> jim messina, the shut down, if it does happen on saturday what should the white house do? >> do their day job, point out why we have a shutdown, the

history problem in the republican caucus. and to her point earlier, this is exactly what you need to say, you need to say, hey, republicans can't govern, joe biden can. it is a gift exactly, you know, 400 days before the election. >> jim messina, alice stewart, great to see both of you. with one mayor saying his city is at a breaking point amid a rise in recent border crossings, we have details on a new agreement between the united states and mexico. and we are standing by, this morning we will hear from senator bob menendez for the very first time since his shocking bribery charges. that's ahead.

mexico's president says he

wants a meeting with president biden to talk about the recent spike in migrants at the southern border. this comes after the u.s. and mexico did come to an agreement to deport migrants from its border cities back to their home countries. the mayor of el paso, texas, warns they are reaching a breaking point. the city is receiving more than 2,000 migrants each and every day. cnn's rosa flores is in houston. do we have a sense of what is causing this slate of really huge wave of migrants coming to and through the border? >> reporter: well, sara, what i've done is i've talked to contacts and sources on both sides of the boarder from the tip of texas all the way to california. what i've been able to learn from these individuals who work with migrants every day, who talk to migrants every day is that a few things have been driving this current surge. first of all, they tell me that it's misinformation and not just the cartels distributing this information, but also when

migrants actually enter the country, are processed by u.s. immigration authorities and released into communities, these community leaders tell me that when migrants send videos back to individuals, to migrants on the border, showing that they have been processed and are now in america, that gives individuals on the mexican side a lot of hope and that that has been driving some migrants to go ahead and try their luck and enter into between ports of entry. the other thing that one community leader told me from the rio grande valley in south texas is that kidnappings in mexico in that part of the border have increased. so migrants have having to decide do they stay and wait for a cbp 1 app appointment to enter the u.s. legally or do they try their luck in fear for their lives crossing the rio grande hoping that they are processed by u.s. immigration authorities

and actually allowed to get an immigration court date. if you ask customs and border protection, they will tell you that they believe that it's the cartels. they say that it's the cartels distributing a lot of this misinformation, using organizations like facebook and other social media to distribute information prompting migrants to then cross the border at certain areas, also so that they can be used as decoys so that they can traffic whether it be drugs or firearms or what have you in between the ports of entry to make sure that they can conduct business. at the end of the day cartels run a business and their goal is to make a buck, whether they are transporting migrants or drugs or firearms. that's what they're up to and they say that that's what's causing this current surge. sara? >> we touched on it a little bit at the beginning but there was

this agreement on friday with mexico to try to deal with this issue of this surge of migrants coming to the southern border. can you give us some sense of what is in that deal? >> you know, this is really important because this could actually mean that the u.s. could avert another surge of migration because what mexico is saying, and this is mexico making this decision, mexico says that what they're going to do is so, quote, depressure rise their northern mexican cities that have perhaps thousands of migrants waiting to cross into the united states, that they're going to deport those migrants back to their home countries. sara, what this means is the net effect is that mexico could be rerouting these migrants back to their home countries, whether it be in the americas or otherwise, before migrants get to the u.s. southern border. could that avert another surge? possibly. we will have to see. >> thank you so much, rosa flores, for all those details.

the alabama dock worker who was assaulted in a brawl that drew national attention is speaking out this morning. hear his version of events for the first time.

so s starting today, you can once again ord ter free covid tests through mail. each house can get four free tests by going to covidtests.gov. tell us about this, meg. >> yes, the people over 70 are the ones predominantly being hospitalized now, but the american pediatrician academy are drawing attention to the children are under the age of 5 are being hospitalized since june going up.

and this is off of the hospitalizations that we have seen since the beginning of the pandemic, but it is high enough that some doctors are calling attention to this, and concerned about how sick people are getting. in some places in the country where we are seeing the most hospitalizations are in south. florida is having the highest concentration of the hospitalization, and the highest rates right now according to the cdc data, but looking at the levels in kids, the american academy of pediatrics is pointing out that the vaccination rates for kids under the age of 5 are really low. only 13% of the kids zero to 4 have any dose of covid vaccine compared to 68% of kids 12 to 18 years old which is different from the kids who have prior immunity either from prior immunity or vaccination. >> and so with the newest variant, i should say, do they still work? >> yes, they do work against the

current circulating dates, and the current dates are extended, so you can check the fda looks. >> the liquid, as i opened it, there was none in there because it had been sitting in my closet for a while. >> you may want to order another one. >> thank you, meg tharl. and overnight, russia launched a widespread drone over the port city of odesa killing two people and injured another. the strikes damaged infa frastructure grain ris and a hotel. the ukrainians called it a pathetic attempt at retaliation of the black sea fleet. they also claim that the commander of that fleet was killed. and now, we are hearing of the commander of the dock attack
