media reports, police are looking into alleged influence, peddling by katara parliament. a court in moscow has found opposition. politician ilya sch, in guilty of spreading false information about the russian military and ukraine. mystery ocean had described the killings of civilians in butcher by russian forces as a massacre. he now faces up to 9 years in prison. a former minneapolis police officer involved in the killing of george floyd has been sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison. j, alexander king pleaded not, pleaded guilty rather in october, to aiding and abetting manslaughter. king has already serving a federal sentence for violating floyd's civil rights and us battle basketball star. brittany griner is back on us soil. after being released from a russian penal colony. she touched down in san antonio, texas 10 months after being detained in moscow. in exchange for her release,

the u. s. has handed over victor boot a russian arms dealer accused of supplying weapons to al qaeda and the taliban among others. will in us politics, arizona. senator kiersten cinema has announced that she is leaving the democratic party that comes just days after the democrats increased. their slim majority in the senate cinema will register as an independent and is emphasized that she will not sit with republicans. she also plans to continue her committee positions through the democrats and is expected to continue casting most of her votes with them. and here is what the white house has to say about cinema's move. the way we see it in understanding it does not changed a new democratic majority of control of the senate, and we have every reason to expect that we will continue to work with her successfully. so the white house, thanks and i'm was move won't change anything. here's database, catalina sham. why from washington?

yes, claire, they are probably right. the democrats will still have a slight majority in the senate, even if cinema does not vote. as a democrat cinema has not specifically said that she will still caucus with the democrats, but she has said that she won't vote with federal republicans. and this means that democrats will probably still hold to the majority of 51 to 49 in the upper chamber . however, even if a cinema continues to cast most of her votes with the democrats, she will probably also separate herself on certain issues like we have already seen in the past. let's keep in mind that as she has always voted in an independent manner defending some party priorities, like for example of same sex marriage, but also opposing others, like a minimum wage increase seen him or herself. and has he cleared in a video where she was announcing her decision that nothing is going to change for her? we know that she is also still holding her democratic committee assignments, as you just mentioned. and effectively this means that she will be probably an

independent, probably aligned with democrats, like other senators, like bernie sanders from a vermont or angles king from maine. so if we're not expecting a big change in the way that she votes, what you think the motivation here is? is it just deep dissatisfaction with partisan politics or are these personal interests to play so hard? seems to be a personal decision. sen, cinema said in an interview at that this decision reflects that she has never really fit perfectly in either national party and that the most extreme voice is continued to drive each party towards the fringes. that is what she criticizes. she also mentioned that politicians are more focused on denying the position party of victory than they are on improving american slaves. and that is why the were elected into, into the senate. it's still not clear though, if hers is also a political decision, because she has not confirmed yet that she will run or if she wait right,

will run in 2024. but politically, it would make sense probably, and advisors as say so because the past the midterm elections have shown that 40 percent off the voters in arizona called themselves independent voters. and therefore she would have a quite a support there in her own state in arizona. thank you so much for that, update that seat of your correspondent carolina moore in washington dc. well, chinese president, she, she pang has met with arab leaders and the saudi capital. ria during the china arab summit, chinese, the chinese president praised a close security and energy ties with gulf nations. as he held talks with several arab leaders. she and a saudi crown. prince mohammed, vin, salman stressed the importance of a stable global oil market. the 2 sides announced a 46 bilateral agreements and memoranda the saudi crown prince, a promise you continue arab chinese cooperation for their common goals for local
