2:00 pm
above all. the response of some to include some of america's academic institutionings that have not condemned the actions of hamas is morally reprehensible. >> you know, i don't have strong feelings on that subject but i think owe now where i came through. >> i think they came through loud and clear, general. thank you for your service. reminder about what's going on in israel and how you can help, fox corporation has made a million dollar donation to united jewish appeal as it mobilizes to provide urgent relief for all affected uga help fighting anti-semitism and if you'd like to support this cause, donation at ujafedny.org or by scanning the qr code on your screen. mean while here's the five. >> hi, i'm greg gutfeld and
2:01 pm
jeanine pirro, bill hemmer and dana perino. this is the five. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu promising to make hamas pay for the barbaric assault on israel. the death toll topping 1300 and 27 americans have been killed and netanyahu telling the world there's no difference between hamas and most radical islamic terrorist. >> hamas is isis and just as isis was crushed, so too will hamas be crushed. and hamas should be treated exactly the way isis was treated. they should be set out from the community of nations. no leader should meet them. no country should harbor them. and those that do should be sanctioned. >> israel continues to hammer hamas targets in gaza with the
2:02 pm
precision air strikes and promising to root out every single terrorist in response to butchering innocent men, women and children. no matter what israel does, progressives like aoc will accuse the country of ethnic cleansing. >> our responsibility is to the stability and the security of the region. that means being able to support not -- support, yes, israel in the defensive capacities; right, in that context but it also means that the united states has a responsibility to ensure accountability to human rights, to prevent the ethnic cleansing of palestinians and to ensure that horrors do not happen in the names of victims who do not want their tragedy used to justify further violence and injustice. >> while the likes of aoc try to claim israel can't respond to the most gruesome terror attack
2:03 pm
in the history, the country's president is slapping down a reporter that tried to push the native americans same narrative. >> they seem to hold the people of gaza responsible for not trying to remain -- >> let me finish? >> do you hold a missile in your kitchen in your living room, a missile sent on our head and if there's a siren, a missile from that kitchen. all due respect, if you have a miss until your [bleep] kitchen and you want to shoot it at me, am i allowed to defend myself? yes. that's the situation. >> well done. dana, i want to go to you first. but permission to rant? >> yes. >> okay, so aoc brings up ethnic cleansing. why does she do that? she's introducing a rhetorical method to re-vent israel from -- prevent israel from seeking justice from their tormenters and enabling the free punch from the tormenters and the free
2:04 pm
press from the victim. i want to know from aoc what the proportionate response should be? maybe she could drop a handy chart. when hamas does x, you do 1% of x. i think that would be really, really helpful. you know, when they behead your children, you can write an angry letter to the local paper. what do you think? >> and march down to the boss' office and complain. put a little letter in the recommendations box. a couple things, well, she talks about ethnic cleansing, what do you think hamas is doing? they want the extinction of the jewish state. >> that's their charter. >> that is the definition of ethnic cleansing. for the reporter asking president herzog those questions, try doing that in iran. >> yeah. >> or to hamas. or to the egyptians. or speaking of the egyptians, why isn't anybody in the arab world willing to take the gazaen who are being told to get out to have safety? who cares about them? oh, does hamas care about them?
2:05 pm
they've got done with anything the money they've been given to provide electricity or water. why is that israel's responsibility? i don't think that's necessary. the other thing is the thinking is so a terrorist kill as baby, and in response to that you try to kill the terrorist. but he's holding his baby in front of him as a human shield. so the study of the laws of war would be helpful from some of these reporters because israel is literally fighting for it is very existence. it's invulnerability was shattered and they are going to need the space and time. just think about it, we are six days from babies being beheaded and already you have the press and democrats and academia saying oh, gosh, maybe we shouldn't, please. let's back off. >> the narrative. >> i could think of something else that ends in off but i will not save it. >> good for you, dana. we'll save it for the break. bill, you spent a lot of time in israel and the middle east and
2:06 pm
feels like this happens over and over again where they exploit this david versus goliath myth that terrorists are david because they're not a nation state but can operate independent of any moral norms, many makes them goliath. >> we woke up this morning to benjamin netanyahu giving a pretty stunning press conference. it was 6:00 in the morning, antony blinken was there, u.s. secretary of state. what netanyahu said is that hamas is isis. and hamas must be eliminated. i don't know if israel can do that. you know, we took out rocca in eastern syria and claimed victory over isis and isis still exists today. i'm not sure israel can do this job. i'm not sure we can do this job. but antony blinken also stepped to the microphone with netanyahu this morning and said i am jewish, and let me tell you about my grandparents who fled
2:07 pm
russia. former soviet union during the second world war. tell you about my grandparents that survived the concentration camps and it was a very powerful message and i thought it was his strongest moment we've seen as a public servant of our country. he then went on late today to aman jordan and uae qatar, saudi arabia and egypt. now, we know in a big picture scene that a lot of these leaders want this region to excel economically and they cannot convince international businesses to do business with them if you have to gnat icks like hamas underneath the service who lie in wait for appears of six years and make you think that they want peace with you. what we don't know is beneath the surface in the other countries. i don't think the united states, i don't think israel can wipe
2:08 pm
this out. i think you need a regional effort coordinated with public statements of will, backed by a military response to try and get some progress here. the other thing i would add, we don't know where we are in this war as of tonight. you say day 6, dana, correct on that. but what happens next. >> there's turmoil in the west bank and has been for weeks and i don't know what the second chapter is from the story and i don't -- know one knows how much this war will last. >> u .h bill, he brings up coordinated effort and 27 americans killed and probably be more. we've waged war for less. time to consider what we do.
2:09 pm
>> greg, that's where i was going and before we get there, i want to make a comment about aoc and ethnic cleansing in relation to palestine, the jews from the beginning of time have been the subject and the target of ethnic cleansing. we don't have to go through history to know that's their target and as you say, that's the mission. i also want to say one thing about aoc, you know, she's a political ideologue. she says things that are small potatoes this is a bigger issue. in 2021 when congress allocated money for more intercepters for the iron dome, who was crying in congress at the time? she said i wept at the complete lack of care for human beings being impacted over this decisions and wept over the fact that israel had a dome to defend innocent israelis. put that aside. talk about the fact that the
2:10 pm
arab world is not cassioppi cementing these pales palestini. egypt is not accepting them and the arab world from the creation of the state of israel and the nation state in 1948 wanted no part of the palestinians. what does that tell you? and hamas does not take their power or their whatever leverage they have with iran or other arab countries to say, you know what, take in these palestinians. why? because they want to use them as leverage. they want to use them to be able to say to the world, look, israel is killing these palestinians; all right. they've been given notice we're going to take out gaza this point. now to the final question, there was a question asked today of kirby, 27 americans were killed. that's a very large number, larger than the number of americans killed by terrorists during the withdraw from afghanistan. larger than number of americans killed at ukk cole and those in
2:11 pm
benghazi or beheaded by isis. and 27 americans killed. why is the posture of the biden administration to just let israel handle this job. instead of u.s. forces going in and getting the guys that not only killed americans but that are holding them hostage and i know people, i spoke to a doctor friend of mine who on sunday was flying in people to israel. i mean, it's the private sector again, the former government sector or people in the government who were taking this on. >> harold, that's a good question. welcome back to the table. feel free to talk about anything regarding this issue since you haven't been here for three days. >> couple things and i'm glad to be back. as it relates to the congresswoman from new york. you've all said it el with. she talked about the frame work oothat the u.s. committed to ensewerring the stability and security of the region and i can think of no other way, no bigger way to secure or stabilize the region than to do what the
2:12 pm
israelis and the americans are committed to doing. eliminating the capabilities of hamas and those in congress, get a speaker if it takes democrats to do it. we need to ensure we can provide whatever support is needed but i say to the democrats that are dealing with some democrats saying things that i think are against the notion of providing a frame work for security and stability in the middle east, ignore them. get on with the business of ensuring that america can support israel in all that it needs to do too. i hope that mbs and mr. netanyahu do not allow this awful, tragic, set of events or incident to prevent them from going forward with their plan to chart a new course and future of the future of reconciliation shared growth in the region. this is one of the reasons why i believe this attack happened. i'm hopeful that you guys won't let that go in fact the congresswoman and others that are being critical in some ways in israel. this is why it happened.
2:13 pm
israel and mbs were trying to provide a new frame work, a sturdier frame work for stability and security in the region. finally, i'm going to give the white house some benefit of the doubt here. i do think first, they should say we're freezing the funds, $6 billion. say you're freezing it. if that's what we're doing, america and the world needs to know that. two, judge, you're right. if we need to send more planes to help people evacuate, we should. the white house shouldn't disclose all of the o operational plans and don't want to give that to those who are opposed to americans and we know who some may be in that region. i'm glad to be able to speak on this. i've been proud to watch this group around this table over the last several days. this has been a unity that i think the country wants, even though there's few voices out there that in my party and perhaps so many other party that i think don't speak for what's best in america's interest or for that matter the region's interest. >> well said. all right, coming up, israel is preparing a ground assault to

2:16 pm
2:18 pm
>> dana: his really air strikes are pulmoing gaza and they say there's no water, power, or fuel in the strip till all the hostages are freed. how does the latest look tonight, greg? dana, we're hearing intensification of battle tonight. reporter: in the distance explosions and they could be two things. one, we believe they are iron dome defenses of israel knocking down rockets that are coming from gaza from the hamas
2:19 pm
militants arsenals and also they could be hits in gaza as well. israeli air force is pummeling the place as you noted hitting hamas structure and also hitting a surrounding civilians that hamas doesn't really seem to care about. the death toll there said to be up to 1500. as preparations continue in a very visible way for some kind of possible ground incursion. there's a big clearinghouse for reservists in this city and they're showing up in huge numbers and everybody is willing to get into the fight and we've been observing the last couple of days and building up of armor and tanks in action blasting away at gaza. 27 americans and really, dana,
2:20 pm
one after another and the small kibbutz and small villages and bodies are being uncovered and both of the israelis and nationalities and several many french dead here as well for example and that continues to go on. meeting the families of those killed and those held hostage and chartered flights to get americans out of israel begin tomorrow. also tomorrow defense secretary austin adding a bit of military touch to the american connection here. back to you, dana. >> dana: greg, thank you. stay safe and we'll talk to you tomorrow. bill, hemmer, you're on the board and giving us a taste of what's on the ground and you've got the map. one of your favorite thins is a map. >> bill: i love geography and it's important to understand this part of the world. it's a region that's complicated and it is small when we talk about the area and the size of
2:21 pm
this neighborhood. you've got lebanon to the north. remember that's where iran supports hezbollah and the north and you've got west bank here and i mentioned a moment ago there's been turmoil for several weeks and egypt to the southwest and jordan to the east ear and this is the area of concern. that's the gaza strip and go into this area of the middle east. see all these towns right here all these villages in israel, kibbutz as well and some have like 3,000 people and some have 30,000 people. they've all been cleared scout tens of thousands of israelis evacuated out of this area and israeli military has moved in because this is the target space right now for the idf. the israeli defense force and this is gaza. what is gaza? gaza is a place that's heavily pop lated and more than 2 million people. gaza is a place that, well, you've got about 24 miles here and let me put this on. about 24 miles here in the ocean. you've got about 36 miles here
2:22 pm
bordering israel and 8 miles down here on egypt and critical areas that's happening and hamas took over politically years ago. they have never pursue peace with the israelis and gaza cities and refugee camp and hear a lot about it. the israeli .g knows that hamas hides in plain sight in the areas like the refugee camp and civilians and residents that live here and a la tech of attacks and bombings taken place in the northern part of the gaza strip and another city in the south. rafah border crossing and that's the only way if you're a palestinian living in gaza, that's the only way you can cross out into egypt. that's been closed. the israelis hit it first and aegises said we're closing down as well.
2:23 pm
if you get some sort of negotiation for the gazans in there and safe clearance and egypts through the eye and if you have questions, fire away but that's a bit of what we're looking at the only thing. >> dana: anybody here have a question for bill? go ahead, greg. >> greg: this might be a dumb question and we hear about the tunnels. where do they go? confined to gaza or to other countries? >> bill: for awhile, the tunnels into went israel and would cross underneath here and they took this fence and set it up for this 36-mile stretch here then underneath the ground they put a concrete wall below the earth. they've never disclosed how deep that concrete wall runs. there's speculation, greg, amongst some military minds that the hamas militants dug tunnels all the way up to the edge of
2:24 pm
this fence but not to be detected by all the electronics that are on that fence. why would they do that? they did not want to alert the israelis to what their mission was all about. there's speculation they wept urn the tunnels to the fence, popped out, blew their explosives and had access into israel but specifically under this entire area of the gaza strip. they estimate 300 miles of tunnels under ground that loop around and go to different areas and that's where they believe many of these 150 hostages are being held tonight. >> dana: judge. >> jeanine: yeah, bill, you know, everybody wants the americans and the hostages to be found. but the problem seems to me that they've got to find them first. and if this was an invasion that was planned, the attack on israel was planned for up to six months and by land, sea and air, these people, ha marx is
2:25 pm
expecting -- hamas expecting israel and the ida to come back in. they've plotted everything out that the idf is going to do. how hard does it make it for the idf to go in there? >> i think the israeli intelligence is very good. i'm certain there's a lot of doubts after this on saturday morning, believe me. i also think some of the reports are true that they've already taken out some of the hamas leaders so they know where to find them. the question is obvious awhere to save innocent lives and this may give them hope, judge, maybe. you've got uss gerald ford in the region and a strike group in the eastern mediterranean and anywhere between 6-10 chips in this group. you've got the uss eisenhower society set to deploy but it's in virginia and it'll take two weeks and steam ahead to eastern mediterranean as well. with our intelligence perhaps, you know, we can perhaps enable the israeli special opportunistics to do the job
2:26 pm
that they need to do, but no one knows this area better than the hamas. >> dana: one thing that happened is when israel left the gaza area, there's no human intelligence on the ground. and if they're not -- if the palestinians, the hamas terrorists are not going to use signal intelligence, you'd have no information. that's part of the intelligence failure. harold. >> bill, it's interesting your map there, for many americans the size of this region de-lies the dis-court and violence and the strife that we hear -- we've heard about and lived with for decades and it's amazing. but to the south there, egypt, give us a sense of dana touched on in her first remarks about how we're not finding the level of cop ration we might want from some of our arab friends particularly there at that border. what's causing this challenge and do we know if indeed we'll
2:27 pm
be able to find some agreement of cooperation with them to accept some palestinian. >> bill: yeah, identify the militants and are not and the aegises don't want that and alst that and 2.3 million, how many choose to leave based on how long the bombing happens and when the israeli forces move in, what are you left with in your neighborhood and how many palestinians is forcing to flee in egypt and they're responsible for it. listen, we know the history of syria and jordan and egypt and whether or not they have embraced the palestinian people. i think the record is pretty clear. the judge, you pointed out just a few moments ago, a lot of countries turned their back when it comes to taking care of the palestinians. i would argue that jordan perhaps leads this entire region in terms of countries that have taken care of the palestinians over time and history. >> dana: what you're saying,
2:28 pm
bill, is the egyptians want to protect their border and know who's coming in to their country. that is a novel concept. thank you very much, bill. up next as israel reels from the worst terror attacks in the history left wing student activists are hold ago national day of resistance for hamas. i hear it all the time. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira, and silver brochures.

2:33 pm
2:34 pm
spending time to learn it and you said and if you don't learn it, you're ignore ranted about it. >> dana: it's purposesful. right now there's -- if you want to be educated on any topic in the world, there's no better time to be alive. a lot of things you can learn for free. don't have to go to university and pick up podcasts and give you a list of all the things i've been listening to this week and it takes effort and time i didn't know a lot about the middle east and the complications of the region before 9/11. i had to learn that afterwards and i watched docume documentard read books and listened to podcasts and reading "the wall street journal" editorial page that helped me a lot. there is that but i also think that this is not a new situation. this is not just like all of a sudden the freshman class of 2023 is this left wing nut.
2:35 pm
basically this has been going on for quite a long time, maybe a few decades and so then you have the institutions that the universities at the highest levels somehow conflicted for the most part. i wouldn't say all of them but for the most part. the other thing about these young people that are all riming and feeling good about themselveses -- rhyming and feeling good about themselves, if they were citizens of israel, what they would be doing today is not putting on an n95 mask but putting a on a uniform and called up to defend their country. >> bill: that's too . i spent a lot of time with the looming tower after 9/11 trying to understand al-qaida. harold, you work in the world of finance. what do you think of what's happening in harvard? when there's reaction from a dozen ceos backing bill ackman huge in the financial world here in new york. not to hire anti-israel students from harvard university? >> the market is speaking out. look, i believe everyone has a right to freedom of speech and everyone has the right to be wrong. i think what i just saw there at
2:36 pm
university of north carolina students or if people on the campus, i don't know if they were students or not but it's amazing to me someone would say we're hamas and second goal, the second state of proported goal of hamas, their constitution is to destroy israel. is to kill jewish people. so i don't understand how you can be for that and call yourself being part of some organized or resistance. you asked me a basic question. i think my alma mater is the university of pennsylvania. one of our great graduates and friend of mine was on television this morning on another network calling for the senior leadership at penn to resign. he felt they had not denounced strongly denounced strongly enough and language but again, freedom of speech is a hallmark of the nation but that does not prevent a university from denouncing what is occurring, what has occurred and what is occurring on their campuses.
2:37 pm
we did it rightly so when we talked about issues affecting african americans and black americans after george floyd's killing. this should absolutely be the case on every campus in the country. >> bill: quickly to greg and jeanine, a potential turning point and seems like a lot of big stories that we have we predict turning points and i'm not so sure that i'm convinced this is one of them. >> yeah, as long as environment of academia is an assembly line for woke idiots keepings going like this, it'll never end.
2:38 pm
20 years later an urban legend is an urban reality and it's not radical muslims and radicalized american students in masks endorsing terror and they've, they sin credit card and will speaks to the fun house myrrh or of identity politics and twists and perverts all logic and turns average people into villagree taints. >> bill: jeanine. >> jeanine: i like to think it's a turning point and hopefully i'm not being naive here but what bill ackman is doing and what he is send ago message to the financial community and i wonder where jamie dimon and other leaders and capitalists in our society but they're saying, look, we have an obligation to share
2:39 pm
holders and board of directors and take holders or whatever and have people of character in common sense as employees. if you're a woos, we don't want you in our company. you're not someone that we want. hopefully they can't trash people whose babies are taken out of their mother's stomach and shot and stabbed. >> hamas wants to kill and destroy the state of israel. it's not coddling someone that doesn't want to go to work, it's someone that wants to distinguish a group of people. we have to buzz here for a moment.
2:40 pm
biden administration facing backlash after telling americans trying to get out of israel to fly commercial. how's that going to work out? my name is caron and i'm from brooklyn. i work for the city of new york as a police administrator. i oversee approximately 20 people and my memory just has to be sharp. i always hear people say, you know, when you get older, you know, people lose memory. i didn't want to be that person. i decided to give prevagen a try. my memory became much sharper. i remembered more! i've been taking prevagen for four years now. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

>> the commercial flights are going in and out and that's an option for those that want to leave and viable ground routes and exploring many other options as well to see if there's other things to do to help americans that want to lever. >> the u.s. offering charter flights for americans to get out. judge, your thoughts on the commercial flight line and give people the benefit of the doubt, but what are your thought osen
2:45 pm
that and whether or not flights should have been started sooner with charter flights? >> jeanine: what do you think my thoughts are? look, there's some airlines not flying 20 israel now and how can you possibly expect the israelis to get on an airplane, a commercial plain as my friend was on sunday be w his plane and some of the veterans on their planes and congressman, cory mills. >> dana: yeah. >> jeanine: look, we're americans. we don't wait for people to ask. we just do it. >> dana. >> dana: permission to give some advice to the comes people at the white house. you have power and there's two things that they've done where i think they could have done a better job since saturday. basically the people that are above them in terms of leadership or in the chief of staff's office or national security council, they are not giving the press people what they need in order to do things that are just logical. for example, on the charter flights, i would never have gone out there and knowing that i was
2:46 pm
going to get that question without being anyone to say there's charter flights and you go to the chief of staff's office and say i'm going to get this question, the president will be criticized like he was in the afghanistan withdraw and i don't want to do that and i want to protect the president and get the americans out and call whoever you need and they will them we need the flights and i will go out and do the briefing. the second thing they should have done on saturday when getting the question about the 6 billion and say i'm not going out there until i can say that those funds will be frozen. guess what today, they're saying, yeah, treasury department saying we're not going to give any of that money out. they could have said that saturday. so the communications people do have the ability and the power to push things if they want to. >> i hope someone was listening. bill, you have strong thoughts about this too? >> bill: r ron desantis is going to fly planes to israel and bring florideans back and said there's more than 20,000 americans that want to leave israel. i haven't seen that number quoted anywhere else.
2:47 pm
white house did not give out that number nor did the state deny. two things here and three hours ago in the announcement it had its first flight out of israel with 212 citizens on board and hungary has had two flights for 325 citizens and one ship to cyprus already with 65 citizens on board. look, i trust the american government to get this done the riway but agree we should have stepped on the gas. >> jeanine: after afghanistan, you've got faith? >> bill: has air gutfeld flown out? >> greg: not yet. just me. this administration seems surprised by things like the $6 billion or pullout or effects of the defunding the police or abolishing cash bail or legalized theft and creating more theft and elevated sanctuary cities to saint hood and nor them it's like a foreign concept. how did i get this hangover. to them, fiery ball in the sky every morning is heading our way but we know it's the sun.
2:48 pm
they just can't understand why things are so expensive when you print more money. they're always behind the curve on everything. but i hope i'm wrong. i'll be right. >> dana: yep. >> glad the flights are going tomorrow. up next, critics blasting some in the media for defending the hamas terrorists. ♪ dramatic music ♪ [flight attendant alert] [baby crying] [snoring] [luggage rattling] [baby crying] ♪ dramatic music ♪

>> jeanine: media madness over the reaction to terror attacks in israel and new york times publishing a story that referred to hamas as terrorists, but then they changed it to gunmen. and only changed it back after criticism. msnbc anchor had the gal to ask an -- gall to ask an israeli mom whose kids were kidnapped this. >> what do you feel about the attacks attacks in gaza right nd how can the government -- >> i must say. you're looking for a symmetrical situation, and i must say it isn't. i can't be sympathetic to animal human beings -- they're not really human beings, who came into my house, broke everything, stole everything, took any children from their bedrooms and took them to the gaza strip. israel never done that.

and will never do. so there is no symmetry, i'm sorry. >> jeanine: greg, you know, andrea mitchell 40 years and she ask that had question. >> greg: it's amazing the asymmetry is like genetic or something among the media. the media does this trick where your commentary on an atrocity is greater than the outrage they have for the atrocity. for example, when we saw mobs of degree taints with their band new signs and i speculated how do they get those signs so quickly and mobilize so quickly and bottom feeding media threw a fit over that, which was missing after the attack actually occurred and it's asymmetry and that woman nailed it. >> jeanine: oh, yeah. >> dana: but in a very gracious and dignified way. she didn't have to. i'm struggling with something because we are reporting 13 israelis killed by terrorists.
2:54 pm
but it might say 1300 israelis killed, 1300 palestinians killed. it's not the same. there were 1300 israelis killed by terrorists and the response to the terrorist attack, 1300 palestinians have been killed. i'm struggling to figure that out because a baby ripped from its mother's womb is not the same as a hamas terrorist. >> bill: israel has to act fast and if not it's just a matter of time before the world turns its back on israel. keep an eye on the un. does the united nations during this period of turmoil pass a resolution that condemns israel. >> jeanine: that'll be interesting. harold. >> i've known andrea mitchell a long time and i know of her commitment to israel. i interpret this slightly different. i thought that answer -- i thought the question was maybe not the most artful way to ask it, but i thought the answer was incredibly powerful. what that mother said of a kidnapped israeli is the force we'll enact and impose on hamas
2:55 pm
and on this region, i'm willing to do it for hamas and i'll ask it the way andrea did but i don't question her commitment to israel and i've known her for 30 years and not a journalist that understands that region as well as she does. >> jeanine: speaking to the mother of a child -- two children taken hostage, that was a tough one to ask. >> i agree. >> jeanine: we're going to switch gears from the breaking news and one more thing is up next. -ahh, -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein 30 grams protein, one gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients for immune health.
