we are completely confident austin is alive. austin is alive.he information classified. emily: we did also see reporting back in 2020 that there were meetings between the u.s. government, the trump administration at the time in syria and officials. we have also seen reporting and heard that syrian officials did offer a proof of life at that time. we did not share much more after that. what was the next piece of that story? how of those things been going? debra: we are trying to get more information about that meeting from the united states government. a lebanese intelligence official was present in that meeting in damascus has told us of the syrians made an offer of proof of life of certain conditions could be met. i do not know what conditions were asked to close that deal. our government has never shared that information with us. the lebanese official share that information with the texas-based reporter, sonya smith, and we learned of this when it appeared in her article in texas monthly. we have asked our government for meetings but have not

austin: thanks. i did get a chance to spend some quality time with president zelenskyy and you will recall that president zelenskyy outlined his goals and objectives during his opening comments, and i would point you to that if you have questions about specific objectives. but in terms of a plan for victory, we did not discuss that. we talked about a number of things, but that specific piece we did not discuss, and president zelenskyy is going to present that to president biden and other leaders, you know, at the first opportunity. in terms of whether or not victory is achievable, again, i think this war could end very quickly if mr. putin decided to pull his forces out of the places that he's occupied in ukraine. i mean, this was started by putin and putin could end it very quickly if he made the simple and right decision to undo what he's done. in terms of absolute victory, it really depends on how you define that. ukraine is focused on defending its sovereign territory. we are going to continue to

the austin police department. i wish it were a mix better times a set of originally but this somber week upon a fellow personal officers killed in the light of duty sets the tone for the state of our profession. in my view the state of law enforcement is dire. we'll recognize criminal justice as a whole is a complex policy issue for which no singular solution exists. but if we continue to do nothing since a lawless as being perpetuate an urban city centers and across the country will only get worse. austin is the tenth largest city in the united states with 1 million people living in the capital of texas. despite this we don't even make the top 25 list when it comes to staffing. we are 700 officers short of where studies and by the city of boston has shown we need to be. our staffing issues can be linked to a few key events of our struggles are shared by agents of all across the country. in 2017 the austin city council voted against a contract with the austin police association which governs the wages, benefits an

you heard from austin that the u.s. didn't have advance warning foreign advance at this strike was coming. jake, the bottom line here is that this comes after a week when the united states had really been hustling in new york a diplomatically trying to find some sort of ceasefire solution to what we have seen is this incredible conflict along that israel-lebanese border. and now, not only did the prime minister say in his speech this morning that israel has the right to continue going after hezbollah. but we also see that they're following that up with action later today and we'll watch to see really how the u.s. continues to respond because they have tried tried, tried once again to go for the diplomatic row. it's just not happening right now. yeah. and if you contrast what you heard from secretary austin with what we heard from republican senator dan sullivan of alaska. >> i mean, there's a real contrast in how much one is hugging the ally israel versus some distance. definitely secretary austin seemed to be putting a

secretary of defense lloyd austin said that the united states will continue to work hard to ensure that has sufficient capabilities to defend its territory and deter russian aggression in the long term. according to our defense minister rustem umerov, romshtein's main topics were the provision of ukraine anti-aircraft defense and missiles to. ammunition and equipment for new brigades and the strengthening of long-range capabilities, in particular through the financing of the ukrainian defense industry, in the final press conference, both lloyd austin and charles brown mentioned the kurdish direction, and this topic was actually the cornerstone of volodymyr zelenskyi’s speech at the beginning of the meeting in the ramshtein format , because actually kursk... the operation demonstrated to our partners that the ukrainian army can change the rules of the game on the battlefield, take the initiative in conditions, when it seems almost impossible, and knows how to act outside the norm, is able to carry out effective offensive actions based on its own training and modern weapons, the main thin

this is the pentagon quoting the defence secretary, mr austin.ressed full support for israel's right to defend itself against iranian backed terrorist groups. he stressed as well that the united states, though, is determined to prevent iran and iran backed partners and proxies from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict. he said the united states remains postured to protect us forces and facilities in the region, and facilities in the region, and committed to the defence of israel. the right, then, for israel. the right, then, for israel to defend itself. but for some who take a counter view, the death of the hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah, a group which is back very strongly by iran, is a provocation, we are told. we have been reporting that israeli military have been attacking targets in the bekaa valley, detecting a rocket fired from lebanon. we don't know quite where these missiles might be coming from, if there are any, but air raid sirens have been sounding in tel aviv and central israel as well. they may have been coming fro

austin said that allowing the use of american weapons to strike targets in the russian federation will not help ukraine win the war. and asv experts answered that austin is not telling the whole truth, and this possibility is still crucial. first of all, for the disorganization of the frontline. i think it 's even more important in terms of policy advocacy when it comes to putting pressure on putin. the issues are not only in the disorganization of life in the border areas. i would put a lot of emphasis on issues of information influence, the ability to hit strategic targets in different places in russia will play a huge role in the future. so it won't end the war because no single element can guarantee it, but it will definitely help. it is about subversion. at the same time, opinions are increasingly heard that the war may last another 10 years, and russian propaganda notes the next term of vladimir putin's presidency. ok, and russian propaganda from 2030 to 2036, so when will the war in ukraine end, in the fall? i am sure that putin will not live to the 30s, this is the absurdity of

the 35—year—old was already going to be replaced by liam lawson for the next race in austin, but theh immediate effect. ricciardo won eight grand prix in his career, the last one where they really hadn't been before. it was a very big deal, and there was an awful lot of resentment among other wnba players. and i think that's somewhat understandable just from the point of view of we've been here for a decade or more playing in this league, and now all of a sudden it's a big deal. there was some anger there and some hurt. and what happened, you know, in i think two in the first game, the opener of this series. uh, dijonai carrington kind of smacked her in the eye. you know, whether it was it wasjudged to be an inadvertent play. uh, but it left caitlin clark with a black eye. um, and, you know, clark again gives back almost as good as she gets. and as she should. and so yesterday afternoon, dejohnette revealed that she'd received some really ugly, abusive email. and that's where this whole alyssa thomas thing came out after the game, when she was talking about what was going on, when th

gathering at drum stein, air base for adults that are being hosted by us defense secretary lloyd austin. the meeting is expected to focus on ukraine's ad defense needs that has been, has been calling on breast and allies to allow keith to use their weapons to attack targets inside russia. the repressed is taking on new urgency following destiny. your russian attacks on cities across the print, rushes in, results have reached havoc and ukraine in recent days. hundreds of people have been injured or killed. the ramped up, a tex, underscoring ukraine's please for help. will be as cool as he's good. we keep telling everyone in the world who has the power to stop the stair, the air defense systems and missiles are needed in ukraine or not in a warehouse somewhere to meet with the new blue green on the log ranch strikes that can defend against russian care are needed now you think he's not some time later. not on the police board. you course in the day, unfortunately, garner every day of delay is a day of lost lives on it. we seem to use a gap while ukraine's requests are increasingly urgent.

what do you think of what lloyd austin said, the us secretary of defence?ring ukraine and it's call to allow ukrainians to strike deeper into russian territory with western weapons but there was no decision made on that. why do you think that is? the biden administration has been regularly intimidated by putin's threats of nuclear escalation, despite the fact that several kremlin redlines have been passed without anything happening. it is an unusual situation where america is self deterring because of kremlin threats. highly unlikely to be realised threats. what about other allies? european allies like germany? do you think they may turn the tide on that decision? i think that there is an axis of timidity with 0laf scholz and joe biden. they reinforce each other�*s not very sound instincts, that somehow russia is going to go nuclear when, in fact, there is very little chance of that. this is dangerous, more dangerous for russia than it is for us to escalate. i want to ask you about the political situation in kyiv as well because we saw ukraine's parliament

but most of them are quite all. stephen, us defense that goes the lloyd austin's was that an old alt will between the bodies hezbollah and these right. it would be devastating for both 11 and, and is by and do you think that americans didn't have any sort of political leverage the, the can pull to try to put a, to contain the situation from the spinning out of control. we have considerable leverage, but they have chosen not, not to do it is like most mentioned about the reagan and obama have been able to, to pressure were able to pressure his role to stop it. so wars in the past, but the biden, against the, the desires of the secretary defense austin of c, i directed, burns and, and reportedly vice president harris as well as, as a result somehow believe that this is kind of a persuasion. it would be enough to curb the curb. nothing. yahoo! and it's very me, at least he's trying easy saying they should not to continue back in 2006. it was the bush administration that go to israel on against the better judgment of the they are a general staff a to launch this round and age. and then i
