yes. perhaps we actually don't know for sure. but we hope over the situation of crisis in general or a month for the same personal case will be raised on the highest level. but the, regarding location speech to date can change many things because the question can announce that he's going to cut diplomatic relations with the repeal conscious. it can announced another military mobilization location is very unpredictable. he's in a very hard situation right now, and i would be, i would be watching what he will say today, because it seemed that the crisis will be escalating further. now us presidents are biden, has said sanctions against salaries are in play. the has already announced them do . do you hope that that pressure from washington will help? oh, definitely. i think european union conscious is while you k canada ukraine, the whole world is watching what washington will be saying,

what position. and we'll take the strong stance of whitehouse. i'll stay department regarding better situation. oh, can push many things forward. so we are speaking here and not only about the propositional flights, over billers, but also about the broad package of sanctions. it's also about support package, support assistance for ability, civil society, media, students, workers. but also we should find the way out of this crisis. this is why we offer the higher level conference organized by the u. s. germany, france, u. k. in order to solar risk crisis fund for ciocca. thank you very much for your time, belle. everything opposition later adviser and it turned out some other stories making headlines at this hour. us media reporting that neil prosecutors have conveyed a special grand jury to decide whether to indict former president donald trump on criminal charges. they say the jury will look at evidence from investigations into

trumps, business dealings and the letter payment of hush money to women on his behalf to that very buddy us, president joe biden has a great to meet his russian counter tops. i'm imprudent at a summit next month in geneva. it'll be their 1st at face to face meeting as heads of state and common time of escalating tensions. the white house, the discussions would, i'm to restore stability to the u. s. russia relationship. the us secretary of state anthony blinking is visiting with egyptian angel dainey and later today on the latest leg of his middle age to him, lincoln is trying to show up a fire settlement between israel and hamas militants in gaza. he's also thinking to rebuild us ties with the palestinians in what's being seen as a break with the previous trump administration. lincoln started his visit by holding talks with the ladies of israel and the palestinian authority. his 1st trip abroad as the u. s. a top diplomat, and it's a tough assignment turning and israeli hummer, the fire into

a laughing piece. and he blink and began his week long agenda in jerusalem for talks with benjamin netanyahu. the israeli prime minister think the by an administration for helping israel defend itself against thomas rocket attacks and you were given meaning to this. now again with replenishment of iron, don't interceptors save civilian lives on both sides of and we were grateful for that too. we too will give meaning to our commitment to ourself. defense is from us, breaks the com and the taxes ro i response will be very powerful. lincoln's visit comes after a truce ended 11 days of rocket fire out of gaza on israel and heavy israeli bombardment of the palestinian enclave. as blinking arrived in rome, ally in the west bank, palestinians turned out to oppose his visit. mac coffins represented the more than

60 children killed in the israeli barrage on gaza. protest is called blinking mission, just more of the same from the united states. but this visit is supposed to market change from the trump administration's approach to the region. the bite and white house is pledged to restart the diplomatic ties with the palestinian territories. lincoln also pro, more than 100000000 dollars of age to rebuild war ravaged, garza he said how much which the u. s. classifies as a terrorist group would not benefit. we do this right reconstruction and then and relief for the people gaza. far from empowering how much i think has the potential to undermine it. i say that because hamas thrives unfortunately on despair and misery on desperation on

a lack of opportunity. the president of the palestinian authority expressed support for the mission. i get none rejected and then on our part we affirm that we are committed to peaceful, popular resistance. we reject violence and terrorism in any form. and we only want peaceful ways to reach a political solution between us and israel. may no, no mean long term blink and said the u. s. would oppose any moves from either side to undermine the prospect of a workable to state solution or more. let's bring it down. correspondent donna reg, in haifa. donna anthony blink. and they're saying he wants to help the people in gaza while bypassing hamas at the same time. how realistic is that? well, that is quite challenging. one must say that is because,

um us is the de facto ruler of the strip. however, we are seeing in the past few days and also ours cues of trucks with humanitarian aid products like medicine, food fuel entering the strip, and they do end up in palestinian civilians hands. so that is definitely an option that's possible. but still a challenge, as i said, because from us is indeed the ruler and the us is reopening. it's palestinian liaison office in east jerusalem and working to try and rebuild trust with palestinian president abbas. how is that going down in israel? right with this is a very different message coming from the, by an administration in washington, a very different from what used to see before with the trump administration. that is, has cited are side almost every single time. with the israeli point of dispute. it almost always took the israeli side. so now we're seeing a shift in approach,

basically telling the palestinians you do have an ear, you do have an address to turn to here in jerusalem. and on the israeli side, within the public. and also officials, this is not seeing as something that is supposed to be instead of the support that the u. s. normally gives to israel, but some somewhat something that is in addition. now of course, anthony will kind of expected to meet with addiction officials. egypt played a key role in brokering dis they saw what can we expect from lincoln visit to caro? right, so both egypt and jordan lincoln is supposed to visit later in the day. they had both playing a key role in mediating between israel and the palestinians for decades. this time, it was egypt, the broker, this truce that is still lasting. and egypt also shares a border with gaza. so it's very likely that blinking is going to discuss with the foreign minister and the japan president about perhaps we lack their relaxation of border crossing between egypt and the strip and other humanitarian. a possibility

of opening the border and, and later with jordan as well tensions, relief and help for the gaza strip. all right, donna, thanks very much for the update on our reg in haifa. and people across the united states have gathered to honor george floyd the black man murdered by a white police officer in minneapolis. one year ago floyd family met with president joe biden at the white house. they called on congress to pass along to police police reform, floyd's death fuel the black lives matter movement, which highlights police brutality and racism in the united states. they know the real change and accountability. that's what protesters here in new york and across the united states are demanding for 12 months after george floyd's murder. emotions are still role. most of all for his

family who met with president joe biden and vice president common hires at the white house as they pushed to pass a civil rights and police reform bill. if you can make federal law to protect the bird, which just about eagle, you can make better allow to protect people. and president biden is optimistic. that reform is on the horizon. negotiated hopefully, sometime after world agreement. but in minneapolis, where george floyd was murdered by police officer derek shelven, the proposed law isn't the only element that will lead to change. doing a lot of things to reform, the please that some of their laws would have been a day. that's not really going to stop stuff like this from happening because it's

so much beer of the community, but they're possibly working with the community service community and they're not doing a good job of that and stuff like that is going to continue to happen until they work better with the community. good police out there will be wrong. but the bad, they have to find a way to get rid of. they have to because that's the only way this is going to stop . time police department needs to be dismantled and rebuilt. and we need a lot more community input. we need to have community patrol for an out the george roy, justice and policing act remain stalled in the us senate. unimportant hurdle to overcome along the path to reform they w correspondent, all of his allot has more on what's changed in the united states one year since the murder of judge george floyd. well, just the fact that a few to go george wants murder was convicted. that is, why don't i came and earlier that would not have been possible because in most

cases they haven't even been trial. so of course the community is happy about that . some, some justice was served also for the boy's family, but the big concern really is that this was just a one off the verdict until the hopes on that there will be a comprehensive police reform bill passed soon. there is some frustration among the african american community people we have spoken to your in recent days, and that this hasn't happened today until the anniversary dw, all of his allot speaking to early. i'm gonna round up some of the stories. now cycling yard has made it landfill in eastern india, coastal areas were hit by winds of up to 155 kilometers an hour intervention, right? well than a 1000000 people have been evacuated in the states of with been goal and addition. it's the 2nd cycle to hit india in as many weeks march as in the columbia and city of cali, have demanded an end to nationwide unrest around 50 people have been killed in
