we're discovering of the world of a, such as the breaking news is so low to international report saying that us citizens 7 kruschevich and pull wheel and both convicted of espionage and russia being released in a prison swap between moscow and washington. the men are appointed to be own group outside russia could not be apparent. we thought that's what is ation and intelligence support of the us. right. the wrong says thing us is that the nation of the political leader of how much to run a choosing is well, but washington seems to be neglecting the gravity of the issue. we continue to believe that the deal is uh, achievable and urgent that we have seen the is really is engaging and constructive

in conversations the united states unequivocally is focused on continuing its work to close the gaps and those are on holes. the funeral procession for the slain. i'm a dead kid on says it's preparing the bad news. this is with the country. supreme leader reported me ordering a direct strike on each route. also a new video of for the, for the, from the fascination as a much showing the gunman getting into position on the nearby re compass questions all raise it. the secret service can do its job. the are you home. welcome. as you joined us today for an update on the news that you need to know, this is on the international bringing the, the stories that of the sometimes failed to cover. we're going to stop this hour

with news closer to home here in most co as well. i'll talk breaking news story this our report saying that there's a multi national presence swap that's taking place between the us, russia, belarus, and other european countries. and it's in the woods right now as we speak. we've been hearing reports that americans during this evan gusher, rich and full. my us marine pool whelan, who are both convicted of espionage, all apparently heading out to russia by plane. i'm going not by all to use correspond to steve sweeney who is being covering the story all day for us. steve, thanks again for coming back into the studio. so some big names, apparently in the midst of this wolf, evan gush eviction also pull whelan mu multi sales. can you tell us about what's happening? well, of course, this is the news and speculation that's right across the media about a reported mess of prisoners swap between the russian federation,

the united states, batteries, germany and other european nations on the speculation started on thursday morning. this is off to the exact same playing that was involved in a prisoner exchange to between victor boots on the us basketball player, brittany, a grind anava left venue about apple paving the russian capital this morning. we've been following that and tracking its progress. we now know that well reported the 6 russian government and fines have also taken off. one of those is believe to have now landed in months. of course these are on verified report. so this stays the crime in press spokesman to be to pass golf was off by reporters about the speculation and he declined to comment. but according to report, some assigning between $20.30 prisoners on his highest 50, which would make it the biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the cold war.

now, top of the list i behaving now report. so i'm a, a blue book in the united states that the us will speak to and list evan goods can, which, who is recently convicted of espionage, 16 years a sentence he, he received. now he originally entered the country. he was gathering information on the private ministry companies. now. he was then cool as most go said, read 100 gathering information, ministry information on military factories, ministry repair of factories here in the russian capital. he was caught red handed it intending to pause the information onto the c i. now according to bloomberg, he is a month, so it was being free by russia and he's making his way back to the united states. now, of course, his case became a cool celebrity amongst the west. they were jumping up and down to mounting, who produced his release,

saying this was an affront to journalism in the right to report these by you. sign companies, of course, were holding duty in a sound or seeking to expedite duty, and as long as they remain very silence about him must go. of course has insisted that it has a refutable evidence of that he was in the country that spying the russian foreign minister. so guy loved rove where he spoke in new york when he said, well, this isn't an attack on journalism unless use, we have numerous beautiful evidence that girls could, which was involved in espionage to the intelligence agencies of the 2 countries are in contact according to an agreement between president prudent and bite, and in june 2021. to see if they can swap someone for someone else. this topic doesn't go down well with everyone. and periodically americans bring it up in public, which doesn't help like such content does exist and it has nothing to do with attacking journalism dealer or the russian president vladimir previously, while he was interviewed by the conservative, broad cost a talk

a call some he was aust directly about guys give it to his case and whether russia would be willing to release him as a gesture of goodwill. and i will push him said, well, of course, he's happy to discuss the spot that had been a this hadn't been reciprocated by his western comments. about and he said, well of course do us could which could be considered for a prisoner as well, but this needed some degree of flexibility from western intelligent services. now bloomberg is also reporting the along with this could which, who waited a full my uh us marie, now he's also report to the being free by russia recording too. so we'll see is a bloomberg, he again was a former member of the us on full, stacy, was us police officer, every check of history and his own country. he was found guilty of embezzlement, but then back in around 2006, you suddenly developed an interest in russia. he started learning the russian language. he was communicating with russian citizens over social media. and in 2006,

he entered the country reportedly for a friend's wedding, but he was soon arrested. he was accosted, and according to russia, he was found with state secrets. now he's report to be now one of those that's being freed. another name that was mentioned among older this speculation today has been re code kreger. he is a german citizen. he was working in the united states embassy in the german capital button. but he soon decided that he was going to to go to ukraine and on and work on the humanitarian funds in the country. and as so many did, he soon became involved in combat operations. now, part of his mission was allegedly taking photographs of better russian military installations. he was called inside the country with a brookside laden with explosives in the capital mintz, where he planned to blow up the country's violin. that what he was sentenced to death for mess me activities,

but very recently he was pardoned by the the president. yeah, that's why and you took the west and nationals that we are on to. so painting all parts of this prison as well. of course, as you said, we're still waiting for confirmation of those names. but can you tell us, on the other side, the flip side, what russians were expecting to bring home? well, one of those names that has been mentioned, one of the russian us knows is alexander vintage. now he is an i t x, but he was involved in quit to come and see, and he was convicted on money laundering charges. now there was a big legal battle over his expedition between various countries, but he was ended up being sentenced to 5 years in prison on those money laundering charges. now his mother has said to russian media, well that she's unaware of any prisoner swap the whole so the details on, on that particular individual on node then that is all chillman adults. us now,

this was a come, these were a couple who were living a very old 3 middle cost life in a suburban slovenia. however, they were accused of running what was described as russian front operations, an i t company all company that but they were living that with the children. they was sentenced to just under 2 years in prison and with the expedition from that country. but those investigations and those challenges, well, some further charges are still we set to be heard like to be sentenced. is if that final deal with you if there is now that i believe to be on the list, all potential exchanges as it is by the him cost courtesy calls. he is an f s b i agent allegedly, who was in 2019. he was caught in the german capital building and he was charged with killing a uh, an, a game alleged at georgia national, who was supposedly i checked in separately. so he was sentenced to life in prison.

so again, this is one of the other things is circulating on that potential list of exchanges . we have to say once again, of course, all of these reports at this stage on verify this news is developing minutes, 5 minutes and of course will bring you all the latest news and developments as we have done. we'll see if i knew that you and the rest of our crow working very hard to verify those are folks, i'm sure we'll be speaking with you later in the day. bring this up to date. as you said on that story, otc sweeney. thanks very much. direct striking against is well that supposed to be in the making. this is according to wrong supreme leader in response to the assassination of how must pull if they were chief is male honey a. now a late night miss all strike killed him that his residence into wrong just i was all think he was an only guest at the new gratian open new ringing presidents

around the took to the floor at the united nations and said is well had carried out the strike and also that the us was complicit to this act could not be account. we thoughts the authorization and intelligence support of the us. they stomachs, people, because we don't reserve this and you hold on the right to self defense in a cold, those with international low to respond them decisively to these stories and criminal act when it themes necessity an appropriate punishment. henry was the head of the homeless political bureau and had been since 2017 he had already faced multiple attendance. so his life is 3 sons. numerous grandchildren were killed in an idea of striking guns that back in april, honey, a was the chief for me to go see a to hamis. and it's in direct seems by towards with is well and many, and i just questing how negotiations will be able to proceed on be held off to his

desk. but i see it issue to move from russia strongly condemns the killing of hamas leader is now hon. you're following the missile strikes on his residence and her on . this is a serious blow, 1st of all, to negotiations between hamas and israel, on the ceasefire and gaza in which is male hon. yeah, it was a direct participant in the failure to hold israel accountable has permitted and enabled these crimes. and further, emboldened is really government officials, military commanders and settler extreme is to escalate the reign of terror against defenceless palestinian civilians. there is no red line for israel, no law, it will not reach no norm. it will not trample no act to deprived or barbaric for its occupying army and subtler malicious. plus the faith. so for face behind god saves the topic. why not the day in the u. n, the us seems to be curiously unaware of the consequences,

the head spinning the narrative that as well is somehow working to end the conflict . as we continue to believe the deal is a achievable and urgent that we are continuing to work and are committed to work to, to narrow those gaps and to make a deal possible. we think it's vital. and finally, interest to the region. we have seen the israelis engaging and constructive in conversations that we have been having about a ceasefire deal. and so we continue to believe both that a sort of deal is both achievable and urgent. the united states unequivocally is focused on continuing its work to close the gaps. we think that getting a deal done is not just in the united states interest. it's in the regions interest and israel's interest. it's in the interest of the house and young people. let's just take a look back out the places that have been as well as cost has in recent months, because right, 2 costs the mid lease from 11 on and the newest 2 neighboring syria then also to yeah. and then on the wrong. and of course,

that is garza well not mentioning the killing of his male honey on wednesday evening. 5 minutes stove is ro benjamin netanyahu did notice that in recent days his forces have hit on us. the who fees has the law ever since the beginning of the war, i explained that were in a battle with the axis of evil wrong. this is an ex, essential war against the certification of terrace armies. and miss aust, that around is trying to type them around on next to my speech in front of the congress that took place several days ago. i've mentioned 3 main on solve this axis of evil. come asked the who, the sound has been off the 3 ages. in recent days we have given a boy to each one of them. 3 weeks ago we attacked the chief of staff of from us mohammed d f. 2 weeks ago we attacked the who it's easy and one of the furthest attacks of the air force. and yesterday we attacked the chief of staff of his blog for shaqia cool most themes and the name of the citizens of israel. i would like to express

deep appreciation to the idea of a nation, but to be military intelligence and the air force and to all these security forces for that precise performance on 3 different front of us. you, we have a to, to is a feeling good story and the beast versus, and the, any chances for seizing the fire. and it's, it's clear, know that the united states of america is most, i go to the dns or it's one of the main reasons through the so alien it's you and i think or a time in the for and. ringback has been loud in the living room by a summation of before it's ciocca and just started a by a submissions made on the same was a green light from united states of america. so in this point, i think we will have a new escalation. if you're on good sidelines, it's have to remain silent forever because when you're on, when a response to his id or this a thanks and submissions,

i think it's up to you to express. it says i'm store to store, it's one more a vision of the vision to a business or is uh, mediations for in it is i think it will be and there is a we have a way. and the addition problem is if the under costs are in the doors, i think the we, we, we are you to a very bad point about to re enroll now where the country has been hosing a funeral procession full that slain. how must lead to his body will be flown on friday to cut it off to be laid to rest. the being massive demonstrations erupt, thing in the nation, all that he was killed off, he's use of to already. how's this report now? instead on a good morning and have taken to the streets to warm the data. so for smart honey. yeah, the cheaper from political bureau, who as well as oscillated wednesday at his residence and people here are waiving

house stadium slacks holdings for troy. it's so funny. i think this part of him as a resistance fighter, given a role in the fight against israel, they transformed us against israel, blaming the incidents on some of these. they say israel has been single red lines by targeting resistance fighters. they demand that they're wanting and government takes revenge as they move has to be carried out on the one. and the message from the supreme leader made everything clear, we will definitely take revenge. and israel will face a severe punishment that will make them regret their actions. israel has attempted to undermine our territorial security and most importantly has killed our guest. oh hawk soft, filled with sadness. as an iranian, i must say that today they attacked the house of 10 wrong. we hope that the heart of tel aviv will be targeted. so that all hops can find some peace. we demand a strong response. we call for a strategic target in tel aviv to be attacked to ease all pain,

i'm afraid or was assassinated shortly after arriving. it's a wrong or the, an observation of everyone's new president. because there's many or are pointing fingers at israel, these people i believe the west is also complicit in these that and that's a sentiment also echoed by humans who see group which as well played a significant role, i think is well over the course of the gaza. was nothing you who returned from america with the green light for assessing nations, america is involved in everything that is happening. i must pay the price that it was not aware of the assassination. the us secretary of state one can made this search engine hours after how many it was tells me that ross think of something that the was was not aware of or involved in it wrong. both supervisors go on as to how many i condemned the association labeling israel,

a tourist regime and vowing gave large punishment. so base that i'd have raised alarm bells in there on the comprehensive quarterly port. it's 3 forces along it's western borders on the alert. also, a symbolic red flag for advantage has been raising the city a form of such a flag was last raise back in january this year after a terrorist attack in the city of him on the plains the lives of at least 94 people . now it one has declared 3 days of national morning, a funeral for how much chief is set to take place into one on thursday. his body will then be transferred to the territory capital, where he won't be late to rest. on friday, i'm not positive resistance when in due until the illumination of israel and the victory up as long as they may succeed in monitoring any resistance leader. but they know very well that the audiology of islam will not be extinguished. this has

only reinvigorated our resolve, and the blood of all monitors will continue to nourish our ideals. the origin is now rustling with sanction after what happened. many here, a whole regional complex as both come on and living on says the law pledge force for event and series of race concerns. the funny as a desk and at least a bigger escalation in the middle east denouncing israel for the move. it has to appeal to political assassinations and continued targeting and savings in gaza will talks continually just to ask, how can media should succeed when one party assessment needs to be negotiated? on the other side, these need serious partners in the global stance against the disregard for human life. so condemns this block and zionist advice and as a despicable act. the continued disregard of international laws by these fairly entity may side the entire reaching the place has been. i any responsibility for

the as i hear things where the officials couldn't help to express their leisure attorney as of its attempts to distances itself from the incident. as well as previous rush to eliminate the thomas eaters, including honey i. as a number one perfect traitor in the eyes of the resistance forces. so the current atmosphere suggests an escalation of the already volatile situation and the weekend with holes for vengeance in response to a 100 yards. assassination, echoing loud here will cries the cost, much of the world of also come out to protest that killing. we've seen protesting to new z, a ross cameron lab and on india and pakistan. we just amongst some of those who being showing this all of our t, we'd palestine and also condemning us bolts to ship us as well. and its methods for the

children, people were marching to these rarely embassy in a mom to den washington for feeling instability in the mid least in morocco, the protest as they were burning these waiting flag and also demanding that it's couple months old toys we is. well, we're also protests in the west bank and that people are holding up the green flags of thomas together with the policy and flag. and in took a thousands of people march through the streets of central assembled. meanwhile, in the us, people all split into 2 camps. this is who owns in new york's times square. this is where a former idea of spokesperson was giving a speech in mid town, supported by pro is rarely demonstrated as well. all these caleb open reports from the c were here in new york city is time square. and as you can see, there are 2 protests going on. one is

a pro israel rally supporting is rarely military and is really armed forces. the other is a pro palestine demonstration urging a ceasefire and expressing support for the palestinian resistance. that is slow jazz have been taking place ever since october 7th and they've been growing bizarre were canceled on the campuses. this rally in particular is coming in the aftermath of b is rarely strike uh, the tilde, a homeless leader again, or on a many of the protesters on both sides or concerns. just been escalated into an all out war between the israel and the one with the united states involved. now many of the protesters on the palestinian side are saying they don't want american tax for your money to go and support israel. i hear some of what we heard when we spoke to pray testers, i'm here because i think that genocide, the bombing hospital bombing space killing children is wrong. that's something i think i'm a soft, i'm ashamed that there's so many people to not see that. and i'm here just because

i think it's important for me to stand up and say this is wrong because already issues that are more times that are going on. it's very simple, very straightforward. and we want to make sure that we're not allowed to get away with the need as an american citizen, to speak up against what my government and we are at times good. while this design and celebration has taken place, that goes, this is where we have the army presenting to this is embarrassing to us as jewish people because the claim that i present myself fed up there was a claim to present my people. they tried to represent minor and it's been about us and we found that when we say no we, we are against everything they're doing, especially did that this morning with this target that this the nation of 2 of the visions which, which is the continuation of this the throws that these are continuing on which is leading into the destruction to be one. they are not be silent because we are do

not the size of the with god, though we cannot watch the water, the jet aside, the torture a whole nation. the people are power, 5 babies, old people, we are, pardon the big with the suffering of the power fit in. we hope that maybe the world is the way getting to what the app's. well be. what's happening? this is not a conflict of religion. it's a conflict against religion. it's a matter with goodman. that's a 100 years old, of standing at it and pass 3rd in the name of by religion. judy is a part of a budget. is sylvia because not to kill us. yeah, we have to fit in to have to flight that when the video has been released by fox news, now it before did mean was filmed by a man who was shocked, and men wounded by the would be trump assassin. and it clearly shows that gun when

guessing into position on a nearby rooftop with a direct line of sight. well, as you can see now in this video, you can see where circled in red bed. the shooter has a slightly goes out of a site and then re a p is just moments later. now this comes as the thing us secret services director says that he was a shame to visit agencies. failure was at a loss for words as to why this rooftop was not secured. this is wrong. those rose who faced uncomfortable line of questioning during his congressional when a why is there not is a secret service counter snipers. they are with clear line of sight that roof has a clear line of sight to the former president. why didn't you put a secret service counter cyber there? the secret service is counter sniper role is to neutralize those threats that are looking in on us from where the protect the is not necessarily saying that you

might want to revise that protocol and light of what happened here. they were protecting the principal, and i think it principal got shot. understand that, sir, who do you think you might want to revise the protocol? no information regarding a weapon on the roof was ever passed to our personnel having information of a suspicious individual. there were other calls that day of individuals that came to the attention of law enforcement of people that needed medical attention. so it really that particular regarding the sale and that never really rose to a level of we should. we should not put them out there. well, as was, will 40 the full change, you must on social media that shows spec cases that actually spoke to the shooter. well before his attack, know the report say that local offices will wound hoffen now earlier and then the

full that is being revealed. the local police knew of quote, the suspicious suspect. so this is 19 minutes prior to him taking his shots to loading the round building. we are in a g, i believe it is. i did see him with the re find a looking to would stage for information if you want to notify secret service snipers to the couch. i lost sight of him. also it back with backpacks. it's and next to it and rather of building that was not so you know, they're called in to come on and have a uniform check it out to what we've been hearing from the highest of the conservators. daddy pulled cost. this is joe oakland. there's the secret service of the lax, the competence to do b, o need your favor signs. the hearing was another dog and pony show, a more kabuki theater. and you can never tell the problem with, with organizations that have lost credibility or had a failure as, as massive as this one is, is that there's not, it's very difficult to come back from it because of all of the other issues that

we've seen that have gone downstream that they've had to deal with related to the f b i failures and, and, and the fact that the day of the assassination, they were already trying to change the narrative. and they had chris ray that came out and said that that it was probably shrapnel or glass that it is here. they just like credibility, they lack the ability to read their own reports. and some of the answers that they gave show us that they lack confidence that these people not only are disconnected with reality, to what happened on the day of the assassination. but they, they don't feel like they're either like, it should be held accountable or don't have the capacity individually to be, to, to be held to a standard. that frankly, is, is not that high. just don't let a guy on the roof of the, with a gun within the wire, within the, you know, 200 yard perimeter and they couldn't even get that done. so i don't believe that anything that they say is going to change the outcome of the investigation. and that is that they are either one grossly incompetent,

which i don't believe or to this was an inside job in order to assassinate the most popular president in the world. just time not to bring your the world in brief, at least a 194 people of law. stan lives is long slide sweats right the ends in states of corolla. the after months of the flood is clay river, side villages, toner, pop by the torrents. of mud rocks and daybreak, their reports i needed 200 people are still on the account for the. 3 the, in the take flashes for a time between processes and police in london. this is near the prime minister's office. more than a 100 people were arrested as a result of that, after the murder charges of food against the man who killed 3 young girls at.
