with my friend ayman mohyeldin, and for alex, good evening amen. good evening, chris. a very telling interview there by a mirror to bone, a journalist but at the same time you can hear he is clearly speaking as an israeli citizen. i thought it was illuminating to hear him talk about the pressure there is in israeli society to release these hostages. and here we are almost five weeks into this war, and that debate is still swirling as to whether that is the main objective. he was saying also to destroy hamas. i thought it was quite telling. >> really interesting. possibly tension between those two, part of the difficult navigation that is happening. meetings happening in qatar even the last few days, hopefully. >> thank you chris. thank you at home for joining us this hour. alex has the night off. if you are someone who is concerned about donald trump becoming the president united states, as a lot of people are, then this weeks been a real rollercoaster. just go back to the beginning of the week, with polling from the new york times showing donald trump leading joe bide
