a new phase of the escalation. and i would say that this indicates that we are far beyond just a supporting funds, but less than into allow for. but then in such moments of high tension, it would be really ridiculous to dalton all for. so what kind of diplomatic efforts have we seen to try to prevent this from becoming a much wider war in the region as well? you know, we've been following on on the very active and intense political end to kinetic efforts to de escalate. the situation to pressure has beloved to exercise restraint and avoid a big retaliation. but we need the sounds far fetched the heavily on group and rejected the old coals and actively been rejecting all goals to reach a deal that would stop the confrontation with is why the based on the you and resolution? 1701 which stopped the war between the been on and is waiting in 2006 at 2006 as well. i've been constantly cleared about that that that would only be interested in,

of rote and even russia internationally as prisoners pop has been seen as a major diplomatic crew has the reactions been the same inside russia? well, in russia, this is also the number one topic. but unlike here is the best that the freed this dense and not celebrate at this heroes, but as tre doors who should have died in prison. and that is what for my president admitted that it was a clear death threats at the signal to everyone else. hello you, i'm not safe anywhere. i'm on the other side. the russians who have returned to rush from the west. i treated quite differently, of course spies and the employees over the intelligence services. and even visual cult another off to you about crossteck of they are all celebrated as heroes and will be soon avoided state prizes vive, letting me put him in the kremlin. let's see that these you're in for shadow speaking to me earlier. we can help bring you up to speed with some other world news headlines in nigeria. security forces have clashed of protesters,

an ongoing demonstrations over food shortages and corruption, a rights groups as 9 demonstrators have been killed. one police officer was also killed as the military threatened to intervene to put down any violence. the u. s. and argentina have recognized venezuelan opposition candidate and window gonzales as the winner of last weekend's presidential elections and comments. nickel, that's my daughter was declared the winner without clear evidence sparking widespread protests. and as well as election authorities under pressure to release a detailed vote count to prove its claims. israel is behind us, secretary of defense lloyd austin, has over written a. we deal with the alleged mastermind of 911 khalid shaikh mohammed and 2 others. the 3 had agreed to a guilty plea to a void, a possible death sentence. austin's decision now means they could,

they are being held at the us military base at guantanamo bay in cuba. now in united states, kala harris has officially security enough support from democratic delegates to win the parties. presidential nomination should be formerly nominated at the democratic national convention later this month. here is a look at some of the highlights of her campaign so far. been slipping into the presidential race coming to harris has generated huge morning to galvanizing voters is she's also raised more than $300000000.00 for her campaign. she paints a picture of stock differences between herself and donald trump. today, we face a choice between 2 very different visions. foundation one focused on the future and the other focused on the past. and we are fighting for the future a just a few weeks ago,

the democratic policy was in disarray with joe bite and refusing to step down in his bid for free election. despite the transformation this still down to about with the harris can beat trump. so full time is vice president has been criticized some claim she was ineffective and failed to make the most of the wrong supporters argued, she was sidelined and held to a highest standard because she was a woman and blink. you'll be doing a lot of talking to a former state prosecution. harris is a leading voice on abortion rights. a crucial issue on the domestic agenda. along with finding solutions for the migration crisis at the southern border. internationally,

harris will need to manage growing criticism of the conflict and gaza. and america has continued support for israel in the fighting as well as its backing of ukraine's defense against russia's invasion. describing herself as the underdog and the election personnel, thanks as an uphill battle in the sprint to know them. despite indeed of these washington correspondent, janelle do, malone has more on how commer harris was able to wrap up the selection process so quickly. or as far as knowing that a lot of things when to her way from really early on from clinching those key endorsements from joe biden himself to the clinton. so the fall buzz to nancy pelosi and so on. and also the part of the really did coalesce around, or anybody who could have challenged her. so it was not to and they chose to support her instead. also to,

to kimberly carrots as credit being thrust into the presidential race the way she was at such a short notice. so there was a huge spotlight on her and it's worth noting that she has yet to really make any significant misstep. so ever since that debates between trump invite and set off for this replacement discussion, she managed to walk that line very gracefully of supporting by then, but also appearing ready to step in if she had to until that decision from bite. and finally did come. and since that, and she generated some very strong campaign performances, she's generated a lot of enthusiasm polls, the national polls, the several of them, a put her ahead of trump, anywhere from between $1.00 to $3.00 points. so really the key challenge for her now is to see whether she would be able to sustain that momentum until november with the understanding that of course there will be missteps. of course, there will be set backs for a campaign in what is still

a very tight race. it was due to these correspondent janelle, dom loan and washington, and that is our show for now. say with us coming up after a short break, we have sports life with a deep dive into the double life of an olympic athletes in mexico. i'm clear, richardson in for lynn or me on the team. thank you so much for watching the get ready for an exciting auburn toyota to look surprised. hi, i'm shopping and i'm ready to dive into the hands of jim. i'm going to have you as a one, dodge, so do you need this? of course you can respond and the unexpected side to side this, the shadows of jumping colors. these pod costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed the scorched
