abraham woodhall. this is where he grew up.he british he was a member of of a farming family. uninterested in unaffiliated with the war as it went on. but benjamin talmeadge knew he was more than that. he was so trustworthy that he became chief of the long island five. so abraham woodhall and benjamin talmeadge came to oyster bay, new york. the british had taken over his house. they forced his entire family into one room. he had a business in new york, he was a merchant, and he was motivated. this is where robert townsend worked. behind enemy lines as a merchant and spy. and he's where he links up with the one female member. we don't know her name. but she penetrated the social circles. together they provided washington with intelligence. but they were not alone. this is the home of the loyalist newspaper. during the war the editor became a patriot. he sent the newspaper back to britain. what he would do with the intelligence, he would bring it back to george washington. see this building behind me? over 200 years old. it's som

well, then for what they wanted to kill the singer abraham russo , the fugitive russian oligarch telmanlov was officially named the customers of the crime sixteen years ago will it be possible now to achieve his extradition from montenegro to russia after a short advertisement , we will return with details, there will also be more interesting topics, wait. last year, osago was cheaper maybe we’ll see another insurance for ourselves. here the largest insurance companies offer the best prices for the siege go to the site or application to compare and save on purchases. if siege then compare choose better 20 years ago. our whole family became clients of alpha insurance and moved to another planet. we are insured against unnecessary expenses when canceling or rescheduling a train trip and do not worry about the safety of luggage alfastrakhovanie connect to the services of the future for peace of mind in the present business. i have grown up now, but i will not cut salaries anyway. okay? what is there to save now? open a free business account with alpha bank. connect advertising in yandex bu

, the investigators charged the customer in absentia with the assassination attempt on the singer abraham russo how will the former owner of the cherkizovsky market telman ismailov answer for the events sixteen years ago, a former hunter who was detained for a double murder in pavlovsky posad appeared in court, what did he say to journalists and what measure of restraint the investigators asked for? the trial of the murder of the tyumen schoolgirl will begin anew. after a new jury is formed, the old one is dissolved for violating the secret deliberation room. this is a unique case in judicial practice , the jurors had to announce the verdict to vitaly careful, the investigators called him the probable killer of the girl, the dna of the defendant matched the samples on the body of the child immediately after the arrest, berezhnoy gave a confession, but later he refused them, and the resonant story and its unexpected turn maria temnikova the jury dissolved the process begins anew such an unexpected turn took the case of vitaly berezhnov. in the tyumen regional court for several months. the

is committed to continue the process of normalization launched by the abraham accords. this is maybe something people were asking about fairly in the administration. but over the last several months at the summit secretary of state blinken attended followed by the follow-on meeting in bahrain to launch the working groups the summit produced, certainly the president's participation in the four-way virtual summit during his visit with leaders of uae and india shows there is interest in getting this regional coalition that is emerging to be linked to other u.s. partners, in this case, india. the announcement of the saudi permission of israeli overflight and settlement of the islands in the red sea is also an important sign. but the overarching theme of this visit is about normalization and that is a settled question. and it goes yon what the abraham accords are to sing to cooperation in energy, water, health care, education, different fields, also made possible by israeli participation in the u.s. command that oversees the middle east which includes technology exchanges an

this process started with the abraham accords which were broken from the administration. and for many months the biden administration was very cautious about this thing because it saw it as sort of a trump legacy and it wasn't sure how much it wants to go into this. but since the first year anniversary of the abraham accords in september last year, the biden administration really started, you know, putting its foot on the gas, starting to push this thing forward,s which is very, very positive. and as you said, it is not only this issue of the overflights and the islands, it is the whole u.s. strategy in the region which is based on how do we get the arab countries, the sunni countries, to work closer together with israel on regional security so that the u.s. could be, you know, less involved with boots on the ground. how the u.s. can take, you know, frameworks that already exist like the u.s. central command that israel today is part of it, how can we use centcom in order to take the israelis, take the arabs and get them together in their exercises, in the same consultati

so now we move from abraham lincoln to teddy roosevelt. i think no president had more sporting activities than teddy roosevelt late afternoon was a time for really active enterprise. it could be a boxing match a raucous game of tennis jujitsu a horseback ride his enormous capacity for work was matched by an enormous capacity for play. he particularly loved taking friends on hikes through rock creek parks wooded area and he made a simple rule you had to move point to point. you couldn't go around any obstacle if you came to a rock you had to go off you came to preview you had to go down it so there are stories of journalists and friends falling by the wayside in these ridiculous walks that he took but the best story was told by the french ambassador jewels juicer on he was so excited on his first walk with president. he came with his silk outfit on as if he were gonna walk in the sham say he say he found himself in the woods hating every minute of this walk. finally they came to the river. he thought thank god it's over. so he later wrote j

but is this some sort of pre cause of a blanket acceptance of the abraham accord? most definitely not. i think there are some decision makers in israel that were able to you know, move quite, quite well forward with the abraham records for very little in response on the palestinian question. the president made a fleeting visit to the west bank and he made the right noises. he wanted a palestinian state which was viable, independent sovereign, an important be contiguous. but those are just making the right noises. essentially, great progress needs to be made on that issue for, for, you know, a big step towards regional piece. so i don't think israel got too much out of this . and again, like doug just said, which israel, the country has had 5 elections in 3 years. it's most likely going to move to the could. remarkably, netanyahu may even come back despite is tarnished legacy, which is a completely different israel, but the world will be dealing with. and i think it's important to catch this visit within those circumstances. but what happens in these really election

you know, if we look back at the abraham accords, i think one of the things that can be taken away from it is that it has shifted the burden of concessions from israeli, from israeli concessions to the united states. in other words, now, one of the aspects that me, that are, is part of the calculation is not just to what extent is there great progress on the palestinian israeli issue. but also who is the right person in the white house? and i think quite frankly, that the, the abraham, the, i'm sorry, the fly over writes as doug mentioned earlier, that it's very important for biden, to be on the side or to have the pro is really a contingencies in the united states. be on a site in the elections. therefore, these old fly over right should be considered as a gesture. from the side you need to abide and, and just say, listen, you go ahead, this is our just start to turn a new page. you can politicize this as you want, but in regards to norma isolation, there are still a lot of things that need to be done. and one of these things, as i mentioned earlier, was the right, was the right person

and i think quite frankly, that the, the abraham, the, i'm sorry, the fly over rice, as doug mentioned earlier, that it's very important for biden, to be on the side or to have the pro is really a contingencies in the united states. be on a site in the elections. therefore, these old fly over right should be considered as a gesture. from the side you need to abide and, and just say, listen, you go ahead, this is our just start to turn a new page. you can politicize this as you want, but in regards to norma isolation, there are still a lot of things that need to be done. and one of these things, as i mentioned earlier, was the right, was the right person in the white house. and i don't think joe biden is the one. okay. that the cider willingly want to have as the person to have this massive achievement or a dog normalization of relations with israel. notwithstanding. does the u. s. need to build a new security umbrella in the middle east? that brit, those include israel, egypt, i'm the gulf states. well, certainly for an american standpoint, it would be helpful to have a balance of powe

that gives him the ability as opposed to, i'm certainly glad we all are the abraham courts were able to be achieved. those were the culmination of a lot of work that had been done in previous administrations that were concluded during the trump administration. i mean, this today, the fact that the president of the united states as loan for the first time fromisrael to saudi arabia . that is something i think i cannot just be sort of mentioned as an aside. that represents progress in and of itself. and the ability because of his relationship and understanding of the region to advance the possibility of adding saudi arabia to that trio of records is really only achieved by making sure that we have those dialogues and build off his knowledge, expertise and relationships. >> thank you. ambassadors schapiro, you both served as us ambassador to israel during many presidential visits, spanning multiple administrations and ambassadors schapiro i saw you tweeted a few days ago that a presidential visit is the highlight of the masters tenure. of course it is but how did president biden's visit

i do want to transition to the abraham accords. your sense because you were there during the initial start of the abraham accords. and this is so concern people need to understand, for people our age and older to have watchinged the bitter -- watched the bitterness, the hostility over, well, hundreds and hundreds of years, to see countries like the bahrain, the uae, morocco and sudan say let's start allowing flights and business relationships, you have been to bahrain and the uae, what have you seen on the ground? and will saudi arabia join the abraham accords? >> we have to be grateful to the previous administration for the support we received before we signed that agreement. anded today you see the business atmosphere, you know, we have 14 flights a week flying from until avive to dubai, and i hope business people coming from the uae into lviv. so we are very optimistic about that. today will be so i think for the first time the biden administration is actually using the term abraham accord and speaking about -- [inaudible] which

let's talk about the abraham a i talk about the abraham a course.ground—breaking to normalise relations between israel and the uae among a few other countries in the middle east. what impact has that had for the economies such as yours? extraordinary. not only has there been over half a million israeli tourists flocking to the beaches and malls of dubai during the pandemic when they needed it, but there are billions of dollars of deals being transacted. right after the accords i predicted $10 billion of activity and people thought i was nuts. my team in the gulf said i was too conservative and that should be 100 billion over the next decade and is now the minister of economy of the uae has talked about $1 trillion. when you bring the saudi flu doings income in our crowd we invest income in our crowd we invest in technology company, hundreds of them and they range from food, the clouds, cyber security, transportation, these are all areas the saudis and the rest of the golf partners are crazy interested in because if you look at what the saudis are bu

geoff: finally, president biden said he strongly supports the trump administration's abraham accordsto integrate israel in the middle east. give us a sense, what has been the reaction to that? has there been any diplomatic progress since the signing nearly two years ago? nick: it is interesting. administration officials, biden administration officials did not embrace abraham accords in the early days but they do so now and that is in part because those political agreements signed during the trump administration have led to militarynd intelligence cooperation between israel and a handful of arab allies. what that could lead to is a kind of regional architecture against iran, iranian drones and missiles. that is the glue to u.s. strategy, presenting the u.s. as the only political and military actor that could be at the center of a common purpose against a common enemy. but frankly, china's influence here is growing, saudi arabia's connection to russia still is very high. these countries would be taking these steps against iran with or without u.s. leadership. geoff: nick schifrin repor

here's what joe biden said about the abraham accords yesterday. i'd like to get your response to this, james. >> we'll also continue building on the abraham accords, which i strongly support because they deepen israel's integration in to the broader region and establish lasting ties for business, cooperation and tourism. >> martha: yeah, so james, there was a lot of hope during the trump administration that saudi arabia might be next on the list to announce some kind of agreement with israel. do you think that the biden administration is serious about this and we just learned that president biden will speak at 3:30. you think we'll hear anything along those lines? >> it's very clear the abraham accords are moving forward with or without the united states. the region recognizes it's an important thing to do and an important way to block iran. the one thing our enemies and friends have in common, they pay attention to what we do, not what we saw. the president has empty words just like his words to try to stop the invasion of ukraine were empty word

strengthen the abraham accords. go back to maximum sanctions on the iranians.nter the iranians together with the united states in the lead as opposed to appeasing them. will biden do that? i doubt seriously. i don't think he -- go ahead. >> harris: before we get to the next topic and i don't mean to hurry you along. the crown prince, saudi arabia. how do you deal with him if you are president biden? you said you were going to make that a pariah state and now you will going to ask them in the words of peter doocy quoting the administration to help us have energy security. which by the way we had when he came into office. >> look, saudi arabia is a strategic partner of the united states. they have been for 80 years since roosevelt opened up the relationship and we have always operated at an intersection where we have to balance what is in our national interest countering iran and stable oil prices and our own american values and saudi's violation of human rights. we've always had to keep that in balance. biden, i think, was misguided when he isolated the kingdom

neither abraham ma correspondent, the in bethlehem. well less returned to our white house correspondent committee holcombe. i think has time to look at the next stage of this trip because that's the whole whole point. you were referring to the this meeting with mahmoud abbas a so short, and then he's heading straight president bonds, heading straight off to saudi arabia, where perhaps the crux of this trip really lies. yeah, the president has said repeatedly that he is really excited about being the 1st president to make this historic trip from tel aviv bangor in airport to jetta. and this is something that he has touted repeatedly as being significant. and if anything, he's been looking for headlines, this will probably be the 1st time he might actually get the headline he's looking for back in the united states. i. and this is when americans might actually start paying attention to his trip as well. because the reason the president is going is to try and get the saudis to pump more oil to bring down gas prices. that's what americans

rabbi abraham joseph hershel. when he returned home that day, rabbi hershel wrote in his diary, today i felt my legs were praying. in the state of israel, mr. president, our legs pray every single day. nothing is in our lives is taken for granted. my father was a jewish child hiding from those who tried to kill him. the fact that i am standing here today did not happen by itself. we learned the lesson, mr. president. at all times israel must be strong, free and safe. with a powerful army that can defend our citizens. be it joshua crossing the river or dr. king crossing the alabama river, the principle is the ande strong, free and safe. with a powerful army the premise the same, if you want your independence, your hands must defend you and your legs must pray for you and march fearlessly. this past year with russia's unjustified invasion of ukraine was the nuclear threat becoming more dangerous and with the threat of terrorism worldwide, we were all reminded of something. in order to protect freedom, sometimes forc

didn't even mention the abraham accords.o from israel directly to saudi arabia and have this dialogue is because of president trump's ground-breaking historic achievement with the abraham accords. here nor there, the president, president biden has to set that petty politics aside and build on those achievements. and the reason that they are all coming together is because of iran. and because of the threat of iran that is threatening to, one, have a nuclear weapon, to wipe israel off the map. so, i really hope that he steps up and will talk about it. will reaffirm it, it move forward. and then finally, obviously, the reason -- the underlying reason that he is there is to get the saudis and the gulf nation ofs to pump more oil. and, you know, it's only because of his asinine energy policy back here at home, his war on energy that he has to do this in the first place. how about we defund dictatorships like iran, venezuela and others with producing american oil and he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place if he would
