the un children's relief agency. unicef speaking to me a short while ago us secretary of state anthony blake and his in south korea, mid rising tensions on the korean peninsula. and he's been meeting with his south korean counterpart park jin, where the pair with a pair of discussing north 3 is growing military ties with most go blank and describe that relationship is dangerous. lincoln also directly condemned killing young for helping russia in its invasion of ukraine. by allegedly sending arms as ukraine's army notices an increase in rushes above apartments on the front line. on this cause of the front line, there's no time to lose tomorrow, but similar on a soldier. v tell. he says the russians are firing much more. tillery then, before i call it, pretend us when it started this or a different the really about 2 months ago. that's when you started changing every way. i've got some leaves and we noticed that would have been a few weeks after north korean leader kim jong, arrived in russia for high level talks with vladimir 14. the last time they met was 4 years ago. what was discussed stri

he's going to be talking about trying to extend the pauses anthony blake and the secretary of state. he's making his 3rd trip to israel, add to the pal sitting in the. busy 80, if they are talking about changing their tactics, that's probably going to come from him. we've seen some pretty certainly were in statements from the secretary of defense, and he's also getting pressure from congress for decades. support of israel has been bi partisan. no questions asked. we're now seeing a very prominent group of democratic senator saying, if the u. s. is going to give additional aid to israel and don't forget the product president is asked for more than $14000000000.00. they're saying if we're going to give that aid in that aid package, there needs to be conditions written in such as the cease fire has to continue know massive environments, things like that. and again, this is highly unusual and just assign and how this is becoming just a partisan issue in the u. s. which was before seemed impossible. patty, thanks very much, patty caught and in washington for us and staying in washington,

and wal, anthony blake and stress to washington is trying to prevent the conflict from spreading. he did take a moment to issue a threat to anyone who might seek to take advantage of the conflict and gas, but to threaten our personnel here or anywhere else in the region. don't do it. we're working very hard to make sure that the conflict and gather does not escalate this, that spread to other places. so exactly the woman that welcomes in iraq right here in baghdad, as somebody thousands gather to protest from step lincoln's arrival in the iraq and capital. and inferential as she, i declare it earlier, which is followed to condemn the us state secretaries visit. look at those crowds right there. a fire didn't go up. is image alongside the as rarely in american leadership has pictures and flying to an open leap. the in recent weeks, so as anybody can, has met with senior officials in egypt, cuts out of a new a e and saudi arabia. and while arab leaders are calling for an immediate cease fire, the us state secretary reiterated washington's off position to a cease by a saying that we

that's being framed, particularly in the west, particularly in the united states, the joe biden and anthony blake, and we have to go back to the 2 state solution. well, just in the last news cycle, netanyahu was trying to convince the little quick look the code party that he should stay in power because he's the only one that can make sure that there won't be a 2 state solution. i mean, american media, if it doesn't even realize what's being said on the ground in israel and, and then the state department tries to sell it, the big a will be a mediator with united states is not a mediator. it's on one side, richard. the united states has not been a mediator for a long, long time in this, in this so called conflict. and the double speak is just incredible. let me actually i do want to address one thing about the completing design is i'm with the or and design is one of the anti semitism. not only is it completely wrong, but it also, i mean the anti semitism is a real problem in this country. and by it's scaring that definition, it completely diminishes the fight against true anti semitism. and not o

anthony blinking lands and television. so you would be, you would expect that blinking is going to be conveying that same message once again to these really leadership no doubt about it. but don't forget, tony blake is basically right from the beginning. has been saying that he was concerned about the number of civilian casualties in the war. and now we have more and more evidence of how bad goals civilian casualties were. so yes, he has been pretty much on that page of us since the beginning. and i think it's no coincidence that president buys and finally came out publicly with the blinking about to go in and say, prime minister netanyahu. i wonder what your view is on the current discussions for extending the see style of the reporting seems to be that there is a strong chance the ceasefire is going to be extended in the coming hours because the current one expires in 6 hours and 20 minutes if indeed it is extended, where do you think that takes us as well? i say give this extended basically that takes us closer to what diplomatic solution to this horrible situation. because basically, the more pressing is or released, the more support you're going to get in the countries for a ceasefire. don't
