alex: exactly. and i should be clear we don't track specifically direct investments or private sector. it has to come from an official source. thomas: gotcha. wilson, you have a microphone? right in the middle here, please. >> i'm peter humphrey. former intelligence analyst. particularly in the case of the solomons, the interest is much more for future utilization of manganese nodules and to a lesser extent, fishing. rather than some grand geopolitical scheme beyond the second island chain. did you look at all of those resource potentials? alex: we do have parallel studies looking at for example transition minerals that obviously china is very interested in and we looked at ports where, and to some degree downgraded our analysis where the ports clearly are accessing natural resources for example. and we don't think there is potential military. linked possibly to coal production. the other thing as well, your point about breaking island chains will be one of the main incentives, there or wherever els

there's still a lot we don't know, alex.a moment like this, the message is part of what the president conveyed publicly, which is we have your back, you have the right to defend yourself. but my bet, privately, is they are also urging some calm and some elements of restraint. because you hear these reports that they plan to level gaza, they plan to take a significant escalatory response, which could lead to the deaths of thousands, if not more civilians. that is also, i think, a private message. you're not gonna hear it as much publicly, because they want to be very clear about their support for israel. but they don't want this to escalate to leading to even more casualties, maybe a devastating number of casualties if it continues to escalate. there is a concern about it expanding beyond the borders of where it is currently. >> what about to the homicide, jen? who would the white house reach out to on the other side in a time like this? is there anyone to whom the president would send a direct and stern message? or would it

welcome, everyone, to alex witt reports. weber getting with the breaking news of that deadly attack on israel. hamas militants, launching a surprise, simultaneous rocket and ground attack. this, at the break of dawn, killing 70 people, according to israeli emergency services. israeli officials say, hamas has fired 2500 rockets. the rocket fire serving as cover for an unprecedented multipronged infiltration of hamas fighters crossing into israel's borders. israel's military said that palestinian fighters penetrated at least three military installations. those being at the eras border crossing, the zakim base, and the gaza division headquarters and at rhame. now at one point, israel's police chief said, forces were engaging gunman in 21 separate locations. israel's prime minister says, he spoke with president biden, as well as secretary of state anthony blinken, and they say that the u.s. fully supports israel's right to defend itself. [speaking in a global language] >> well, israel's military spokesperson said that the air fo

alex. >> raf, that is gonna run. let me ask you very quickly, you did report that there are still skirmishes going on. there are others who suggested that for the most part, within israel, the palestinian militants have been taking care of. they've been captured, killed, that they aren't still there. do you have confirmation either way? >> we do, alex. we spoke a little while earlier to a spokesman for the israeli defense force. we met him down in the town where there had been such fierce fighting. yesterday, into the night, it is a massive crime scene. there are police cars riddled with bullets. as you, walk your feet crunch on the shell casings from the thousands of rounds fired. it's de roan itself, it was quiet when we were there. the spokesperson did confirm that in other communities, smaller areas along the border, there is still fighting going on. the israeli military released footage this morning showing what it said were palestinian militants on a beach near the gaza border been attacked by israeli naval shi

alex?>> rough, do you have any idea the witness intel on how these hostages are being taken across the border from israel into gaza? i will say that i read one account, i believe it's attributed to the associated press, that they would be taken on motorcycles. and brought back that way. does that make sense to you? does that seem realistic? have you seen that? >> we haven't seen that with our own eyes, alex, but it makes sense. and i will tell you key thing to understand here is in the early hours of today, israel completely lost control over the border that separates israel from the gaza strip. it is normally one of the most secure tightest, one of the most militarized borders in the world. it is guarded by watchtowers, by a highly sophisticated border wall. and israel was caught completely bulldozers in some places alex -- as i said, earlier some of them literally flying over the wall with paragliders and hang gliders, and landing in the heart of israel. to carry out this attack. alex? >>

>> alex, good to be with you.s important to note here that we are only seven hours right now into this intensive man hunt. where i'm standing in lewiston it is quiet, eerily quiet. but just the presence of police officers over my shoulder, in fact, the one vehicle in the road there, they are blocking access right now to sparetime, which is the bowling alley you just referenced, the site of at least two massacres, two shootings that took place at about 7:00 as we are awaiting more information, to your question, alex, about where he was last seen, robert card, his vehicle that authorities believe he was traveling in was located about 15 or 20 minutes due east of where i'm standing, and that wasn't lisbon. so we are all pretty close here. it's also worth noting that lewiston is a town of about 37,000 people, it's the second largest most populous city in all of maine, which is to say this is a part of the country where there is not a huge population center they're all small towns, so to speak i've only been on the gro

>> yeah alex.old us very early on today, that we should not expect to see president biden, or hear from him publicly. but, the white house has told us about what is going on behind the scenes. they say that national security teams and administration officials have continued their outreach, and their communications with their israeli counterparts, trying to gather as much intelligence as they can, about what's going on on the ground in israel, how this was even able to happen, and exactly what kind of aid they would need, and where that aid could be specifically directed to. and that is something that secretary of state antony blinken talked about, on meet the press this morning, with our colleague, christian welker. but we still bit of that exchange. here >> we have been on the phones, constantly, since yesterday, early yesterday morning. the president, myself, everyone throughout our government, working around the world, both to build up that support, and to get countries to use the influence they

alex, thank you very much. alex forsyth. _ party. alex, thank you very much.olitical - alex forsyth, our political correspondent. a charter flight bringing afghan refugees who had been stranded in pakistan, has arrived in the uk tonight. thousands of people who worked with or for the british government in afghanistan and then fled the taliban with their families, are still waiting to be relocated here. pakistan has ordered all unregistered afghan refugees to leave the country by next week or face repatriation. a couple who went on the run injanuary with their baby girl, who was later found dead in brighton, have pleaded not guilty to her manslaughter. constance marten and mark gordon are charged with the manslaughter by gross negligence of the girl, referred to as baby a, between january 11th and february 27th. they face four other charges related to their treatment of the child, all of which they deny. a trial has been scheduled forjanuary. he was once called the "king of crypto" — but tonight in new york 31—year—old sam bankman—fried has testified before a j

>> thanks for having me again, alex.am elated for judith and natalie, and their families. the idea of these two being returned to their families, i saw the video of the husband and father waiting for their arrival. so relieved, you could see the relief on their face. that said, the number of hostages confirmed hostages continues to rise, as more bodies are identified, and bodies are not accounted for. the last number that i know of his 210. and we cannot rest and all 210 innocent hostages are released. i just want to point out, alex, we don't know where these two women were chosen to be released. i don't want to be fooled. hamas is specifically trying to re-brand as a human -- humanitarian organization. they released them for humanitarian reasons. i do not think that it is easy to believe that the other 210 hostages look as well and as healthy as these two women did. it's very reminiscent, to me, when the 90s allowed red cross to come to certain concentration camps and see very specific healthy looking jews. i just want

>> probably the latter, alex.lear that democrats will step in and bailout speaker kevin mccarthy the situation like this. it would be an extremely unusual move from members of the minority party to do anything but vote for speaker of their own party, which for democrats, is hakeem jeffries. jeffries was asked about this yesterday after that bill went to the past with democratic votes to keep the government open. he said, simply, that he would, the democrats have not had a discussion about any hypothetical motion to vacate, and they would cross that bridge when they get to it. behind the scenes, i spoke to a number of democratic sources in the house about, this and the first thing, they recognize that they do come up for a motion to vacate. then it looks like the partnering with matt gaetz publicly, they're just gonna strengthens kevin mccarthy's hands. they think their best move is to keep their powder dry at this time. there are others who say that they would insist on serious concessions in order to even enterta

>> yeah, alex, that's.when hamas terrorists burst through the gaza border on saturday they were armed to the teeth. armed not just a kill israeli civilians but also to fight off israeli reinforcements into the southern communities. to fight against tanks, helicopters, the israeli military has been gathering weapons. they have collected from slain hamas fighters. they have been collecting them at a basin southern israel. we visited that base earlier today. i want you to take a look at what we saw. >> this is just a fraction of the weapons the israeli military has recovered from hamas fighters and the field. i want to walk you through some of the items here. this is a thermobaric bomb. this is a weapon designed to create heat of up to 3000 degrees instantaneously. the israeli military says hamas terrorists use these two incinerate whole families inside of their houses. now the bulk of these weapons down here are rocket propelled grenades. the israeli military says it found around 1000 of them in the field. th

>> yes,, alex that's a good. and i both know, fani willis didn't just wake up yesterday and become the district attorney of fulton county, of georgia. there was a recorded profit that was given by kind of chesbrough friday morning. while the jurors are filling out the written questionnaires, the value of that offer had to be evaluated by the d.a.'s. here's the next thing to think about, alex. kenneth jonesboro was not operating in a vacuum. it's not like the guy himself woke up and said, you know, i'm going to drop a memorandum to have an election ski deployed in more than seven states. he did it at the direction, because that the client. the truck lying to donald trump, and the trump campaign. so whether or not kevin chesbrough and sub say that i am only implicating myself, think about building blocks for this conspiracy. you don't necessarily have to plea to the recount, alex. you can plea to the felony offense that kind of chesbrough pled to. you implicate others, including trump, john eastman, rudy giuliani,

alex, we've been hearing this increasing.e there's someone in the state department who's in charge of deciding which language to use. it's my watering bureaucracy. it does not really matter. the fact is the advice from the u.s. embassy is if you are an american citizen and you have to get out now. why? because they -- there's a lot of lebanese americans, passport holders who live here as lebanese citizens. they don't want showing up outside the embassy doors when things get bad, demanding some sort of transport. this is exactly what happened nearly 20 years ago in 2006, when the airport was bombing beirut. the last time there was a major confrontation, full on war between israel and hezbollah, a lot of this has to do with less of the politics and less on what was decided by the state department and hezbollah and other groups. it's kind of a business story. it depends on the insurance companies and if they're going to be -- the flights that will land in the airport invasion route. once the insurance companies pull the rug out

thanks very much, alex, it's good to have you. influence peddling because many democrats and the white house continue to say that there is not a direct link linking joe biden to the 20 the shell companies, to the $20 million plus that have gone to the biden family. but you say you're not going to find that, and you don't need to find that. it's more about the family. tell us about it. >> yeah. first of all, we already know that the finances are intertwine thed. we've seen ample evidence of this going boast directions. how about that rosemont phone that joe biden was using, etc. but i do think we're asking the wrong questions sometimes. there is clearly the anatomy of a bribe that's taking place where foreign and domestic entities are sending money to the biden family members it's affecting u.s. policy. the clearest example is the burisma one. i don't have to repeat all of that to your audience, maria, but there are some new ones that are in the book that i think are really explosive, and i think we need a deeper dive, for example,

i believe jeremy diamond and alex mar t alex mar quiet, the number is 224. alex, what can you tell us ability the state of negotiations given the fact that air strikes are intensifying in gaza and ground operations are expanding according to the idf. >> it's hard to imagine that what we're seeing now doesn't hugely complicate the prospect of getting at least some of those 200 hostages out. that was what was being aimed for by the negotiators that were led by qatar, at least in the next hostage release, which we had thought might come in the coming hours or days, could have dozens or as many perhaps as 100. but seeing what we are now, obviously, that throws frg into flux. we have been cautioned by u.s. officials repeatedly throughout the day that things are extremely fluid. as it touch and go. you did hear in the press conference given by admiral hagari, he was asked about the deal in the works and spoke about it dismissively. he said i advise you not to listen to rumor, hamas is a terrorist organization and people should not give into the psychological terro

alex armstrong.for scottish indie pendence? take it away, alex. >> yes , yes. it's been a murky >> yes, yes. it's been a murky few weeks for the pond of the snp up north. and you know, it's not looking great for scottish independence either. now humza yousaf , the first minister yousaf, the first minister himself is down to —7% in the opinion polls of his personal approval ratings and the snp is losing ground to unionist parties such as the labour and conservative party . so without conservative party. so without any big fish, without any sturgeons or salmon's can the snp carry the torch for independence? well, i don't think so. just this week alone we've had a defection, one of one of the snp's mps to the conservative party, one of their great rivals in westminster for now. why is that? well it's possibly due to the rotten core of the snp westminster party , of the snp westminster party, which has been accused multiple times of bullying and harassing work environment. dr. lisa cameron herself, who i

he did it again today, alex. he cut 1.7 trillion and today has a new one, says we're running a surplus because of his policies. i just don't get this almost pathological, untruth telling of his. can you tell us in your book, generally speaking? >> how about one of the best, putin price hikes and 7% and they're throughout and obviously something in joe biden's line and get through them in their whole life and she was doing this stuff and always been this way and consequences and keeps winning and he gets elected president. he says something dishonest every time and as lon as he doesn't cross the left wing base and there's no consequences and all he has to do is say something that appeases his base and once that's done, he won't get skated. larry: that's the strange -- skated. larry: that's the strangest thing and i've been in and out of politics and i've never seen -- i understand politics. little white lies, fibs, embellishments, i get that . these are like fundamental untruths and it's very water. alex, he's kin

>> yeah, nearly a dozen, alex. and to aaron's point there, that supplemental funding request set from president biden, the house can't move on it until they have a speaker, right. i'm glad you have that countdown clock on you screen, 17 plus days now without a speaker, paralyzed, essentially. let's talk about what happens next, after jordan was ousted yesterday. behind closed doors there is a little bit of bad blood when he received that no confidence vote, done by the way, by secret ballot, where he lost nearly half of the support of his conference. he then, afterwards, came out, and address reporters briefly, we'll talk about what happens next on monday night, in that candidate forum. let's hear from jordan, first. >> i told the conference that it was an honor to be there speaker desert me, but i felt that it was important that we all know, didn't answer to the question if they want to me to continue in that role, and so we put the question to them, and they made a different decision, but it's important to unite,

alex marquardt, thank you so much as always.'t imagine what that discussion was like to leave their husbands behind. i want to bring in a former hostage negotiator and navy seal commander, daniel osha. daniel, i think is a perfect person to field these questions because so many of us have them. we've got two elderly women now released today. the question, aside from the toy people have about the progress, so to speak, is what goes on behind the scenes to choose them in particular? what do you think hamas is trying to accomplish by this release? >> well, of course, the fact that they have released two israelis -- every family that is desperate for news -- 12 or 20 hostages taken and held in gaza. that's a positive step, but, at the end of the day, if there was truly a humanitarian gesture, why wouldn't they have released these two women with their husbands? so you are still keeping this family in terror and suspense and, again, obviously they were chosen because of their age. i mean, the whole world has stood up about the fact th

alex went with her.ing that kind of cyber extortion, that's a crime. >> yes. >> did campus police understand that? take it seriously? >> they kept saying, it's a scam, it's a scam. >> police seemed to think rowland's phone could've been hacked to get the photos. and that both lauren and her ex might be targets of the scam. so, the attitude of the campus police is, they're both being victimized here? this is a scam using his phone number and her photo. >> yes. >> but this is not him victimizing her? >> yes. >> however, alex says lauren was almost certain rowland was behind it all. that day, lauren also told campus police about the frightening time she caught rowland peeking through her window. they seemed concerned? this is like a boyfriend, girlfriend thing? not a big deal. >> i figured they thought we were overreacting, in a way. >> lauren was embarrassed by those photos and deeply concerned about them getting out. she shared them with campus police and hoped for an immediate arrest. the campus police h

>> at the top of the hour, hello to all, you i'm alex. when it is now early monday morning in israel. israel's formally declared war against hamas. u.s. government sources confirmed nbc news several american citizens are among those killed on the deadly attacks against israel this weekend and at this hour we don't know how many americans have died in the conflict nor the circumstances around their deaths. we are bringing a live picture from gaza city, we have seen a new round of airstrikes tonight. a spokesperson for the israeli defense forces tells msnbc that at least 700 people have been killed in israel. the palestinian health ministry says more than 400 people have died in gaza. that includes nearly 80 children. the death toll from israel and gaza both expected to rise. joining me now, msnbc chief correspondent and host ali velshi and nbc news correspondent aaron gilchrist. at the white house for us. good to see you both. the latest at this hour, ali, what do you know? what should we know about what's happening there right now in term

alex wagner tonight starts right now. good evening, alex. >> lots of folks even outside the region worried about. thank you my friend, for the great coverage this week. tonight, as chris said, we are monitoring what could very well be the long anticipated israeli ground invasion of gaza. i want to stress that we, at nbc news, do not know yet if that is the case. but the conflict appears to be escalating dramatically. with the most intense night of israeli airstrikes to date. we have reports unconfirmed by nbc news at this time of israeli troops crossing into gaza from the north and clashing with hamas fighters. information is scarce. right now, gaza is in a near total communications blackout. gaza is the largest internet provider, as well as multiple gaza cell phone service providers, they are all off line. that is due to both lack of fuel, and infrastructure that has been destroyed. the humanitarian aid group, red crescent, reports that without cell phone service, they are now unable to dispatch their ambulances. the wor

good morning to you alex. reporter: you can see the border with gaza, the lights shining just over my holder that is just -- shoulder that is how close we are, he can hear artillery early into the hours, the idf last night raised the number of hostages taken into gaza 239 people country defense minister sat down with many of the families last night talking about highly qualified people he said are part of the defense team, idf is pushing forward with the offensive releasing this video saying went last day struck 450 hamas targets, we have seen spoke rising from gaza as israel pummeled the area. going after hamas infrastructure. the show of force we're seeing will put more pressure on militants to return the hostages, spokesperson said that soldiers and residents are ready for the conflict. >> this should be the last war, this is the expectation of all of us from this situation. and thes redents as well, no matter how hard it is for them, the residents have the patients, they are begging state and military to d

>> alex, absolutely. america is all in on the side of israel against hamas, but we have to draw the distinction that hamas is not the same of gaza, not the same as palestinians. and the there's a lesson from 9/11 it is when you're attacked and you have the world's sympathy on your side, make sure your response is calibrated against the perpetrator of the attack. when the u.s. went after obalm soma bin laden and al-qaeda, we had the world on our side. but when we allowed the mission to creep broadly, when we declared war against iraq that had nothing to do with a 9/11 attack, we lost support. we lost credibility, and we unleashed a string of consequences that were bad for the united states, bad for the region, bad for the world. and that's why president biden went in person to talk to prime minister netanyahu and others. you can provide support from afar, but if you want to look somebody in the eye and say whatever your emotions right now and the emotions are completely valid, you do not weaken yourself by

it's not good, alex. not caring about concealing your identity means he understands he is going to get caught. this is not about evading the police. this is about executing as much as he can in terms of violence. and his last concern is getting caught at this point. he understands he is going to be identified, and he is on camera. and so, this will end, unfortunately, with more violence. unless somehow, miraculously, he throws up his hands when encountered by police, and surrenders. let's hope that happens. but history tells us, probably not, with this -- shooter. >> i just want to reset for people who are just joining us right now. there is an active shooter situation in, lewiston, maine. it is the second largest city in the state. police are investigating at least two locations. law enforcement in maine has issued a shelter in place directives for residents of lewiston. we still do not have word on the number of casualties or wounded. we do know that the central maine medical center is reacting to what

shall come to you, alex.n slavery instances in this country seems to be going up. yeah what do you think is the cause of that? >> people smuggling networks being successful and that's the first thing that i think drives it. and ironically, many people who think that they are helping would be refugees and asylum seekers who say basically don't stop the boats or, you know , stop the boats or, you know, don't deport people, make it more profitable and less risky and therefore makes modern day slavery less likely to be stopped. but i have a position on this that pleases nobody because is when people are here as registered would be as registered asylum seekers or would be refugees. i would allow them to work until their claims are processed. and i i think are processed. and i and i think that so gives large that not doing so gives large numbers people nothing numbers of people with nothing to do , a very frustrated sense to do, a very frustrated sense of their circumstances when they could be paying tax and workin

>> thank, you alex.ving me and forgiving me the opportunity to share as an american. i am so motivated that the american viewership should hear from the americans on the ground. i was in my bed in tel aviv yesterday at 6:30 a.m.. my husband and i woke up to the sound of sirens which indicated that there are missiles which are aiming for tel aviv. i live in an old building in tel aviv. new buildings in israel are mandated to have a bomb shelter inside, generally one bedroom will be a bomb shelter. our apartment is an old apartment so we use the staircase. we ran up to the staircase. we were there with our elderly neighbors, a single mom with a child. she explained it as a game. we went up and down the stairs. there were rockets until about 7:15, i think. when we came to the couch, i have to tell you, alex, i'm an observant jew. i don't use my phone or electricity on shabbat. yesterday was the sabbath. it was also a holiday, the holiday of sue coat. we turned on the television because we had to find out wh

where >> i'm not quite sure yet, alex. i reached out earlier today to chesebro's attorneys and they were not yet prepared to comment but i will say that this is something that took everyone off guard, including multiple defense attorneys, so i think that they were taking some time to process this news, but can chesebro has a very different case and sidney powell did, he had previously asked to be severed from sydney powell, and he wanted to stand-alone, and indeed the cheese is now standing alone, and i think that there is potential upside for him there because some of the more serious allegations about coffee county will maybe have less of a spotlight in this upcoming trial, so maybe he can try to minimize the seriousness of that, now that he is no longer standing next to sydney powell, but you know, all is quiet in terms of that legal team at the moment, and we're all kind of wondering, you know, where they will go from here. >> how does this affect jack smith's case, neil? she's one of the unnamed coconspirators in that

>> i think the big ones, alex, are about access to weapons.ine and how to this person and up with a weapon, particularly an assault rifle. and just looking at this, who are there any indications this individual might do something like this? if it is true, that we're having some mental health issues, when you look at that weapon, you are looking at the optics on the top, you're looking at the tactical light on the bottom. you are seeing what appears to be high capacity magazines. i can't do and close enough, but maybe even double magazines in and assault configuration. this is particular troubling. i think the next part is, if the target for unknown to the individual, and we have suspicious activity before, did low enforcement know about? it did the public know about? it did the community know about it? those are the tips and leads everybody needs to know to stop something like this from happening. so i think we'll be asking those questions here, once we funded more from low enforcement when they have a press conference. >> lots of questions to

so alex chalk the justice he is a statement on prisons.atement on prisons, and there was report about overcrowding in prisons —— alex chalk, the justice secretary, he is due to be giving. that will be available on the iplayer. now we have the weather forecast. hello. the second named storm of the season, storm babet, is on its way later on in the week. so some wet and windy weather on the cards, but a week of two halves really. in the next few days, mostly dry. we've got some frost, and some sunshine by day. it's from midweek onwards that we see the weather turning increasingly windy with some heavy rain, too. so if we take a look at storm babet, it will be heading its way gradually in from the southwest, moving towards our shores. i think increasingly heavy rain developing from wednesday onwards and lasting particularly through thursday and friday across eastern scotland. but lots of wet weather on the cards for many of us. back to the here and now, though, today it's really quite quiet out there. we've got a lot of high cloud across much

alex quender, welcome to economic divide. um, we're looking at italy's economy to not performing that well, uh, and this particular question, i like to zoom in on manufacturing, um, in particular how factories have start have laid off many, the manufacturing sector has contracted um since um, last year, in the middle of last year, up till now, where people um and analys have said there's a manufacturing recession, why has italy's manufacturing done so poorly? i think that the causes of this crisis stretched back into the early 1990s, you know uh, and and i think that they are they have the root in the western financial markets, so so uh "it stems from the financial markets, you know, just year ago, italian 10-year government bond was yielding 0.6%, today it's trading at over 4.4%, and it looks like it's trading higher, and you know, if the interest trades break higher, it's it spells a whole lot of trouble for the italian economy, you know, in 2016, i think 17% of all" assets on the books of italian banks where marked has bad

a whole town deserted, alex. one more last question for you.ny idea, any indication from the military portions that you are talking to -- forces that you are talking to on the ground, we've heard prime minister benjamin netanyahu say this is going to be the a long war. is there any indication of when these people might be able to come back home to even collect some items and then go back to where they're hiding? >> reporter: well, i asked a similar question today about that, when will people start to come back, what does this look like, and over and over again what we have heard is that same message. they're in this for the long haul. for a lot of people who have lived in these border towns and cities, they have been used to continual conflict and tension. they're hoping, they're saying that they're patient this time that this will be the end to some of these attacks that they have seen on their towns and on their cities and that there's no rush in this sense. of course, that's going to create a lot of frustration especially for people who have

alex wagner tonight starts good evening, alex. i think there's news on spooling of some kind. >> there's always news on spooling. we're going to cover it next hour, my friend. thank you all of you for joining us at home. today has not been a good day for the republican party. it began with a defendant flipping in the racketeering case against donald trump. defendant ellis tearfully. we got a bombshell piece of news mark meadows has been granted immunity in special counsel jack smith's election interference case. mr. meadows reportedly told smith's team he long believed trump was dishonest about his claims he won the election, which is certainly something new. that report has not been confirmed by nbc news, and meadows' lawyer is denying it so we'll have lot later in this hour. we start with the absolute debacle of republicans in the house of representatives, which is entering its fourth week -- fourth week without afo speakerf the house. right now republicans are holding a vote behind closed doors to choose their fourth nominee fo

cnn's alex marquardt has that for us.x, this has to do with the hostages that were being held in gaza by hamas. >> reporter: yeah, boris and brianna, we understand that two of the american hostages who have been held by hamas are on their way out of the gaza strip. we've just learned this from a person who is familiar with the discussions as well as a diplomatic source, we have spoken to my colleague katelyn collins. as we know from the israelis there have been 200 hostages held by hamas since the horrific attacks inside israel on october 7th. what we understand from these two sources is that the two americans are a mother and a daughter, they are currently we're told with the red cross and heading south in the gaza strip. there are two crossings in southern gaza, one that goes into egypt, the other that goes into israel. so right now we're not sure about which country they will be going into. we're also unclear on the identities of this mother and child, but we are told that they are being released on humanitarian ground

that was all in this thursday night, alex wagner tonight starts right now. good evening, alex. night, a>> good evening, thank y friend as always. thanks to you at home for joining me this evening. the republican party has two major problems on its hands right now. an ungovernable house majority that has quickly descended into chaos, and a party standard bearer facing 91 felony counts who was doing everything he can to get the case against him thrown out of the courts. there are big developments in both those stories, and we are going to get all of them this hour. if there is one person who embodies the dual crises facing the gop right now, and the dual problem of house chaos and alleged republican criminality, it is this guy, congressman george santos. he is a serious top list who remains in house of representatives despite being charged with 13 counts of fraud, money laundering, and theft. he is still there, and today, the former treasurer for santa's campaign pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge. that staffer admitted to having a made-up fake campaign donations for s

"alex wagner tonight" starts right now. good evening, alex. ht" starts >> yeah, we do. >> i don't know the solution. but that's the problem. >> 200 representatives voted to keep kevin mccarthy in power. >> right, yeah. >> the number of republicans in his own party who actually -- vastly outnumbers those who did it. >> yeah. >> maybe some of them can talk to him about it at some point -- >> we will see. >> thanks to you at home for joining me this hour. today, in a fulton county election interference case, rudy giuliani's lead lawyer asked the judge if he could be removed from that case. now, that is the second lawyer to leave giuliani's georgia team this week alone. they are departures come on the heels of mr. giuliani's former lawyer and longtime friend suing him last month for allegedly unpaid legal bills. we have known for a while now that all is not well in giuliani land. he has huge legal bills. he is reportedly very short on cash. and now, to add to those troubles, there is a new story out today that, at first, feels kind of like it has

what is the latest, alex? a few minutes ago i wrapped up an interview with a member of the union negotiation team, and she tells me that the impasse between the two sides is now down to one issue. unfortunately there is no movement on that lone issue, and a strike tomorrow is a certainty . kaiser has not, you know, the executives have not listened to the frontline members, the frontline employees about this staffing crisis. and until they can, you know, come to the table at good faith and bargain with the rank and file members regarding the staffing crisis, we will not they it will not turn we will be striking tomorrow and glasper says she's worked for kaiser for 35 years and has never seen staffing shortages so extreme. she says patients usually wait 3 to 6 months for routine appointments. the two sides had been at odds over pay, staffing levels and retention of employees. covid 19 worsened the situation. now, 75,000 union workers across the country preparing to walk off their jobs for three days, starting to
