when people hear abba, they think of their you. i was on a friend when i was young, you know, real was pick one of the girls and i was, i was on the fleet. i'm originally from uganda between 71 to 7 to 9. you can there was in a very odd thomas state. if there's anything that i can remember, it's alba was always in the airways. i don't think there's any other group that we played shall, much, than about music. and that goes for basically all the sort of top 40 stations and sweden still. and a lot of people to day cohen c, my mommy on i don't, i don't think maybe they don't even know what, i bet it's, you know, i think it's my mommy, you know. so i think over the generations, if it's good enough it'll, it'll come through. if everybody can write a song like alber all, everybody would now not the seventy's, of course, because it wasn't cool. they're one of the most covert artist of all time. just like to beat us friday nights in the latch. oh, it's a lucky twist of fate for ab that their songs have remained so timeless. where they're p

ah, son, riding aside abba would be nothing without the voices of the 2 singers. not only does each have an impressive vocal range, but they also harmonize perfectly. ah every now and then in the history music voice is meet up and i think in the arbor context, you know, something magical happened. if i remember correctly, they also used, you know, they speeded up a tape recorder. so things like that. when they recorded their voices and the and, and slow them down again. and that sort of created a, that the arbor sound they found in a 3rd voice. and it has very high as she still is a, it's so fragile. but still very, very powerful. and i think that's, that's her secret, unofficial could use the alto and she is even deeper now her voice. c 6 i mean, the 3rd voice is magnet and unafraid. combined together those voices singing those songs. they helped make the swedish music scene. world famous sweden is one of our most successful pop exporting countries in the whole wide world. and alba was definitely the ones who kicked it all off when via had very big breakthrough,

c, g, i teach generation spawns new abba fans. so what's behind the band and during appeal, the sound, i guess, especially the 2 guys voices. and maybe that's what appeals, but it's very difficult to say it's, it's really it's for other people to try and explain that challenge accepted beyond . we spoke to a music journalist, an opera singer, a former eurovision winner, a fashion designer, song writers, composers and producers, all of them know as personally and live in stock, whole. a 2 couples behind about benny and any freed up, nita, and beyond. we're not always as well loved as they are today. in the beginning, a lot of journalists and fellow musicians thought the band was totally uncalled. back in the seventy's in sweden harbor was a no go. i should definitely not listen to our by. i shouldn't praised them, they were always neglected by the media while the media treated them. or i will say in the beginning, especially very badly a because they were so commercial and there it says they want it to be. they want it to be world

every one loves abba, their music and their style. no one it seems actually hates. something a lot of musicians can only dream of. so how did the 4 likable swedes do it? let's find out. with where does the fans stand today? after their reunion and sold out concerts in london? the social media generation loves about the balance on tick tock channel featuring videos from the past and present has more than 2000000 followers. which isn't bad. but the hash tag about loan has billions of views and alba is among the bands whose songs are most often covered by others. you tube features countless cover ver, of their songs in every genre imaginable. i see that, oh, once that c g been dancing with each generation, spawns new ab fans. so what's behind the bands and during appeal, the sound, i guess, especially the 2 guys voices. and maybe that's what appeals. but it's very difficult to say it's, it's really it's for other people to try and explain that challenge accepted young . we spoke to a music journalist, an opera singer, a former you're a vision winner, a fashion designer

so he will certainly bring that to president mccord abbas. he will also bring up a severing of a security coordination between israel and the palestinians that was severed by the palestinian authority on thursday after a deadly raid in the northern west bank. and that's something that he will reiterate is really important for both sides to stop the escalating violence. and that's something that he will urge mahmoud abbas to reinstate. he would potentially also urge the palestinians to stop pursuing cases against israel in international court. that something that well could come up in the conversation, along with other things that were already on the agenda before the spike in violence, namely bolstering the palestinian economy. and of course, strengthening ties between the palestinians and the u. s. that were all but severed under the trump administration. it tell us more about those relationships between the palestinians or washington which has historically had such a firm commitment to israel warehouse that left the palestinians. well that'

he met with palestinian president mahmoud abbas in the west bank for talks. i made a spike in violence between israelis and palestinians. lincoln expressed his condolences for the quote innocent palestinians who lost their lives over the last year and urge abbas to deescalate tensions. he also reiterated washington support for a 2 state solution, albeit without promot, without proposing any new initiatives. earlier asked our correspondent, rebecca, written in jerusalem about the takeaways from lincoln's meeting with the palestinian president of bass. so to me as was expected and as your reporting de escalation was really top of the a gender, it today's meeting blinking cold for calm on the side of the palestinians. much as he did when he was here yesterday in jerusalem and speaking with benjamin netanyahu . his equal for de escalation of the tensions which have been really high for months now at least 9 months, if not up to a year. they really reached a peak at the weekend, which coincided with this trip and he's, he's calling to calm things down. he doesn't

you heard there what antony blinking, i had to say after his meeting with matt mood, abbas. it wasn't an enormous amount of anything, particularly concrete, really apart from those commitments to try and reduce violence. the palestinians, a totally reliant on the americans to put it to put pressure on israel. the palestinians can't. and the palestinians want israel to be pressure eyes to sort of rain in some the worst excesses of what is the most extreme right wing government in israeli. his in israeli history in the palestinians will tell you it's no coincidence that the increase in debts of palestinians and the increase in violence and tension in the west bank is because of the view of this new a right wing israeli government namak mood, abbas he did say that israel's actions are being ignored. he's that he's not being held accountable when it comes to settlement killings when it comes to the desecration of alex, a compound is referring to israeli politicians visiting that compound. he says is not being held accountable when israel with holes palestinian funds is withholdi

she knows personally, together with the abba, she happened to travel half the world.esigner and make-up artist of the seventy- seventh year initially. i was friends with a guitarist who played with them at concerts, and i myself worked in one of the local costume theaters. one day, the fridas themselves called me and said we need a dresser and make- up artist. we're going on tour to australia . do you want to come with us? i said, of course, i want to talk about the most successful, the scandinavian musical group lasted a little more than 10 years from november 1970 to december 1982 . it was created by burn ulvius and benny anderson, having met at one of the parties, the musicians decided to try to work together. shortly after that, ben met sanya frith linkt at none of the concerts, but byurn liked performance of the fire of feldsky in 73 four. they recorded the song ringring and showed it to the eurovision selection committee . however, the committee member rejected the song. despite this, abba's first creation became a number one hit in their native sweden, very pop

ah, abbas film, kerami, cherry flavor. this road movie is a film made hmm yeah, in the form of a trip by car. the fact is that among karastami, in general, a car is a symbol. mm, in many of his films, the car is the protagonist. and in fact, he acts as a cinema in the car and the audience meets with this movie. and here is the main character of this film, uh, non-professional actors, architect by education. his name is hamayun, a non-born travels through such a brown-yellow iranian autumn desert through the mountains and is looking for a person who will help him commit suicide. on this way. he meets several people, and this is a soldier. this is a worker. this is a museum worker and is talking to them. he asks these people to help him kill himself every time. it comes across certain not very clear to the viewer, but uh from the point of view of mm philosophy, but a very pronounced religious answer, because in one case , uh, a person does not want to commit this act, because he repels from the prescriptions of religion. oth

and he urged abbas to de escalate tensions. he also reiterated wash to support for a 2 state solution, albeit without proposing any new initiatives or entering his short press briefing in ramallah, the secretary of state blinking went on to say this. it's also important to continue to strive, not only reducing violence, but ensuring that ultimately the israeli house seems like enjoy the same rights, same opportunities. but what we're, what we're seeing now, citizens is a shrinking to rise in a whole, not expanding one. and that to we believe needs to change and nibbling can do well . earlier we asked semi so called a journalist based in jerusalem about his take on blink and visit in the israel and the palestinian territories. well, at z a secretary of state, of course it showed his close ties to israel. a he met with the prime minister, the minister of the fans dead. there had this kind of like very close settling on security issues. and also all the issues connected to these early society. but what was really a striking where

pete lincoln is also set to hold talks with palestinian leader mackwood abbas in the west bank. he is expected to urge abbas to de escalate tension and resume security coordination with his real correspondent rebecca ritters joins us now from jerusalem. so what's expected from today's meetings with the palestinian president? well, as you just mentioned, sarah march, like what was discussed here when blinking met benjamin netanyahu here in jerusalem yesterday. of course de escalation is going to be high on the agenda. this visit does come a time of rising tensions here and escalation of violence. and a call for com will be the main message when he meets with the president mahmoud abbas in the west bank later today. another thing, as you mentioned, is a security coordination, which was severed on thursday after a debbie raid in the west bank that something that he will urge the palestinian president to reinstate a coordination security coordination between is raw or israel and the palestinian authority that hill no doubt urge is very beneficial for both sides. another thing potent

s. secretary of state anti bullying can meet with netanyahu and palestinian president mahmoud abbas as part of his 3 day middle east visit. last correspondence, rebecca richardson, jerusalem, whether answering lincoln's visit is likely to help calm current tensions. or of course, the visit comes at a time as you mention of very high attentions. things were already tense before the events of from thursday, friday and saturday. but now they are extremely high, but as you say, well, this was a long planned trip and it's not really remains to be seen whether the, the main aims of this trip will really have changed all that much of course and enabling him will be bringing with him condolences and a real show of support for its ally, israel in the wake of the horrific tax on friday and saturday, but among those topics, anthony blank. and we'll also have high on his agenda discussions about iran and also an expansion of the abraham records. they are of course normalization of relations between israel and its neighbors, particularly looking towards saudi arabia. so they're gonna be to a very k

after talks in jerusalem on monday on tuesday he met with halcyon president mahmoud abbas in ramallah for a talk submitted on can violence between israelis and palestinians. lincoln expressed his condolences for the quote listen, palestinian civilians lost their lives over the last year, and he urged abbas to de escalate attentions. he also reiterated washington support for a 2 state solution, albeit without proposing any new initiatives. and during his short press briefing and ramallah, your secretary of state antony blank and went on to say this. it's also important to continued to try not only reducing violence but ensuring that ultimately the israelis hausteen's life enjoy the same right. same opportunities. what we're, what we're seeing now, how citizens is a shrinking bright and or not expanding one. and that to we believe the change earlier i asked them is so call a journalist calling based on jerusalem about his take on antony, lincoln's visitor, israel and the palestinian territories. when the secretary of state, of course, it showed his close ties to israel, he met with the

he met with palestinian president mahmoud abbas in the west bank for talks. the meeting comes amid an upsurge and violence between israelis and palestinians. he was expected to urge abbas to d escalate tension and resume security cooperation with israel. lincoln was also set to reaffirm washington support for a 2 state solution, albeit without proposing any new initiatives. i ask our, our correspondent, rebecca, readers in jerusalem. what's expected from today's meeting with the palestinian president? well, as you just mentioned, sarah march, like what was discussed here when blinkin met benjamin netanyahu here in jerusalem yesterday. of course de escalation is going to be high on the agenda. this visit does come a time of rising tensions here and escalation of violence. and a call for com will be the main message when he meets with the president mahmoud abbas in the west bank later today. another thing, as you mentioned, is a security coordination, which was severed on thursday after a debbie read in the west bank that something that he will urge the palesti

, now in the 18th year of a four year term, abbas, now in the 18th year of a fouryearterm, in abbas,t to get him to re—engage with the israelis on security cooperation on the something that he has suspended over the last 48 hours. i think the painful and cruel reality is that israelis and palestinians are in a strategic cul—de—sac, and there really does not appear to be any long—term solution that both would accept to find a way out of it, so i suspect even if we can get the situation to calm down, the situation to calm down, the situation here is going to get worse before it gets worse. aaron david miller there, talking to me earlier. let's look at some of the day's other news. at least 24 people have died in peru when a bus plunged off a cliff in the north—western province of piura, on its way to a town near the border with ecuador carrying 60 passengers. differing accounts have emerged of a ukrainian missile strike on a hospital in an occupied part of the eastern lu ha nsk province. moscow says a rocket strike killed 14 and injured 24 people. it said the hospital was used to treat

and now he's been meeting with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. he did talk about a 2 state solution. c working towards that plan, however, it's a lot of lip service. it seems because what we're seeing on the ground and what we have seen in the last year and suddenly this month is a real increase in violence between the israelis and palestinians that were to deadly attacks. over the weekend on friday and saturday, when a several israelis were killed. but also a raid on jeanine but killed 10 palestinians the day before those the tax. so he's talking about working towards a 2 state solution, but he didn't really offer any a way of moving towards that. certainly in the time that he's been there, the, the new government has been keen on increasing measures. they said in response to those attacks and reducing those rights, but palestinians have had to some degree. now some of those measures have included demolitions of home, certainly of the those that belong to the attack because, but it seems also collective punishment towards any families or friends

next, let's hear from the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas.he aggression, and he is right to call for a two state solution in line with international resolutions, and he's absolutely right, insisting the need for equal measures of freedom, of security, of opportunity, of dignity to the palestinians and the israelis. he's right on all of that, but we see no approach by the us administration to do that, to achieve that, we even see the wrong approach, because that would not happenjust, this has been happening for a long time. let's remind ourselves of the context here — the recent violence. palestinian health officials say israeli forces shot dead a palestinian man at a military checkpoint in hebron on monday. israeli forces say that their troops had identified a suspicious vehicle. on thursday, ten palestinians were shot dead injenin in the occupied west bank by israeli forces. israel said that it was acting on intelligence about an imminent attack. on friday, seven israelis were killed when a palestinian gunman opened fire outside a synagogue

he is expected to hold talks with mahmoud abbas. the visit follows days of violence. benjamin: arriving at tel aviv -- reporter: arriving at tel aviv airport, the u.s. secretary of state is arriving at a time of high tension but with few expectations u.s. diplomacy can help. he spoke about recent violence. >> it has taken innocent life in an active terrorism, always a heinous crime. but to target people outside their place of worship is especially shocking. reporter: a reference to the death of seven israelis outside a synagogue in east jerusalem thursday. it is notable he spoke about incidents in which israelis died but did not mention the raid at the refugee camp last thursday, a day on which 10 palestinians were killed. before secretary blinken got here there was another death, a palestinian man shot dead by israeli forces as he drove his car in the city of have run -- of hebron. this is his first meeting with netanyahu since he became the head of israel's most right-wing government ever. the secretary of state said there must be a future where israelis and palesti

abbas would essentially lose his overall control if that happened.etanyahu has bigger fish to fry. he wants to make peace with saudi arabia, stop iran's nuclear weapons. the question is can they get it under control of the situation on the ground is boiling? the secretary of state has tried to get them to take steps that would cool it, that would increase the security cooperation. and then, takes positive steps that would try to rebuild some of the trust that has been broken in this process. laura: how much influence do you think the u.s. government has on this new israeli government? martin: well, we are about to find out. the secretary of state put down some pretty clear markers, i would not call them red lines, but he made it clear that the u.s. as opposed to the far right members of netanyahu's government wants to do, particularly in the west bank, legalizing illegal sediments and changing the status quo. he made it clear the u.s. would oppose all of those things. but, we will see now because that is the agenda of the far right wing. if they star

he is scheduled to meet with palestinian president mahmoud abbas in ramallah tuesday. blinken already met with egyptian president abdel fattah al-sisi during the first leg of his middle east trip. blinken says he stressed human rights during his talks with egyptian officials. egypt is a major recipient of u.s. military funding despite its suppression of dissent and the press, including the widespread jailing of political prisoners. iran says it foiled an israeli drone attack on a military facility in the western city of isfahan. unnamed u.s. officials confirmed the reports, though the israeli military did not comment on the attack. it would be the first such strike under the new extreme-right government. in pakistan, at least people 34 were killed and some 150 others wounded after a suicide bomber attacked a mosque monday in the city of peshawar. part of the building collapsed as the bomb ripped through the mosque during noon prayers. authorities fear people may still be trapped in the rubble. the mosque is located inside a high-security compound that includes governme

s. secretary of state will be urging matthew abbas to try to reinstate that coordination. that's certainly something that will be a part of the discussion to morrow remains to be seen by how much of an impact this visit can really have as tension here to continue to escalate. good of you responded to rebecca, it is there in jerusalem forest. thank you. let's have a look now, some of the other stories making headlines today. a russian strike has killed one person and wounded 3 more copies, according to the regional governor missile had to residential building in ukraine, 2nd largest city later on sunday. at least 3 more people were killed by russian shelling in house on orleans prime minister mateusz. moreover, ski says the country is planning to spend 4 percent of his gross domestic product on its military this year that would be the highest percentage among nato countries . poland is working to expand its army following russia invasion of ukraine. after the german government gave the green light to supply battle times to ukraine . now, a new debate is heating up about whe

and rather will be likely trying to urge president abbas to reinstate that coordination in the name of this sort of spiraling violence. rebecca, the debris correspond rebecca written in jerusalem. nato secretary general has urged south korea to provide the military support for the government in ukraine. and install from burg has been meeting officials in sol hoping to persuade the government to reverse a long standing battles. applying reference to cultures engaged in active conflict is to stall to you also visit your path on the tool to increase nature's ties with the asia pacific region. or we can find out more about that referred to a mr. frank a smith in sole but welcome frank. how likely is it? do you think of her? south korea could start supplying our arms directly to you. crime? i think for the time being it's, it's somewhat unlikely. south korea had pledged $200000000.00 of humanitarian aid last year, but it's relationship with russia is a little bit complicated. it has a, an arms deal that it made with russian in $1009.00. he still has a couple of $1000000000.00 in debt. there

because you asked secretary of state antony blinkin is set to hold talks with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas in the west. bank, the visit comes amid an upsurge in violence between israelis and palestinians. earlier blinkin met with israel's defense minister, jo of galloped in jerusalem. he told the land that washington's commitments to his real security remain, quote, ironclad. he also sat down with his really opposition leader yala pete lincoln has been urging all sides to take steps to de escalate tension. the w correspondent rebecca writers is in jerusalem and we asked her what's expected from today's meeting with the palestinian president. well, as you just mentioned, sarah march, like what was discussed here when blinking met benjamin netanyahu here in jerusalem yesterday. of course de escalation is going to be high on the agenda. this visit does come at time of rising tensions here. an escalation of violence and a call for com will be the main message when he meets with the president mahmoud abbas in the west bank later today. another thing, as you mentioned, is a security coordination

these meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and palestinian leader mahmoud abbas plus, russia continues. it's tracked down on people posing the war, new crane. even children suspected of synthesizing with america, ukrainian face pressure from authority. and india remembers founding father mahatma gandhi 75 years after he was assassinated by a religious extra. we'll look back on the life of one of the most celebrated leaders in history. ah, i'm gather as welcome to the program, a suicide bombing out a mosque and pakistan has killed at least 34 people and left scores wounded. the attack occurred in the city of pressure was close to the board of honest on many of the victims were police officers from a law enforcement compound that is surrounding the most focused on italy. buncombe, mom claims responsibility for the blonde and journalist use ross carry in karachi has more on this last absolutely. unfortunately, unfortunate news from charlotte. could you 2 people have been can some dead, a 147 on many of the injured essentially a bomb, went off at 1 pm time when many a suicide bom

. >>> and secretary of state antony blinken is meeting with abbas after his sitdown with netanyahu. >>> good morning, welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm christine romans. we begin with a major winter storm. overnight arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders activating the national guard as severe weather moves across the state. sleet, freezing rain, bitter cold temperatures impacting some 38 million people from texas to west virginia. a winter storm warning is in effect for a large portion of texas including dallas/ft. worth. schools in the area are closed due to the dangerous conditions. according to flight aware nearly 1,000 flights have already been canceled. chad myers, who is seeing the worst of the winter storm? >> right now just south of memphis, maybe up toward cincinnati, northern kentucky let's show you dallas. those roads are not supposed to be orange nor red nor should they say road closed. this is what is going on in there is at this hour. i'd say population-wise this is the worst that you will see. but probably travel-wise that wou
