i've been speaking to the ceo of matchroom boxing, frank smith.mark 2019 fight between anthonyjoshua and andy ruinr came to be held in saudi arabia. we had been approached on so many occasions i couldn't quite believe it. so many people come onto you and say we want to bring in a huge event, notjust in saudi, but across the middle east. you go down a path of six months discussing and it doesn't get any worse. we had to make a decision whether we took this to cardiff. i think it helped that we were in a rush that these negotiations couldn't be prolonged, like other instances within the sport in the past. we gave them very strict deadlines and they stuck to it. that show the date huge intent to bring massive sporting events to the region. to bring massive sporting events to the reuion. . ~' i. ., the region. frank, when you are lookin: the region. frank, when you are looking after— the region. frank, when you are looking after an _ the region. frank, when you are looking after an athlete, - the region. frank, when you are looking after an athlete, w

their journalist, frank smith, of joining us from sol. thank you so much. i. its wildfires have left a trail of scorched earth across the mediterranean croatia, portugal turkey and spain's canary islands have all suffered the worst. death told however, is in algeria their fires have claimed at least 34 lives. thousands of fires are also burning across southern italy, including the island of sicily, or temperatures have exceeded $47.00 degrees celsius. and new fires have broken out on mainland greece, adding to those already burning for days on several islands on roads. thousands of peoples have been, people have been evacuated in force, in nature, reserves destroyed another greek island that has been badly affected by wild fires is cor food. just off of greece as west coast. it's a popular holiday destination for tourists, especially in july. the w reporter, lucille shilton reports the fire as rights above you. bit by bit, the fire creeps closer to his house. he hopes to be able to say that, but nothing is to be spinning boots is one degree guide and of course

i've been speaking to one of the men behind that deal, the chief executive of matchroom boxing, frank smithmy show. and frank, let me start with this, because in many ways, you are where this saudi investment in sport really started, the anthonyjoshua versus andy ruinr fight back in 2019. that was something of a watershed moment for saudi investment in sport. so, frank, i've got to ask you, how did it come about that riyadh hosted a world championship fight? we've had a lot of approaches over the years from saudi entities to bring events over. and we had an approach from prince khalid aziz around bringing anthonyjoshua. and, you know, i think the truth is we've been approached, as i say, on so many occasions that you don't quite believe it because you have so many people come on to you and say we want to bring a huge event. and this isn'tjust a saudi, but across the middle east, you go down the path of six months of discussing and then it doesn't get anywhere. so i don't think we really believed it at the time when this discussion came up, it was only when it moved very quickly within. we h

as in earlier, i spoke with journalist frank smith and soul. i asked him how both countries in the korean peninsula are marking the 70 authentic bursary of armistice. very differently in north korea it's, it's marked really as victory de, the victory of the communist forces over the capitalist forces represented by a south korean. in particular, the united states in south korea, it's more of a celebration of the strength of the alliance with the united states and the support that south grew received from the united nations as well. it's also a bit of a reminder of the separation of the 2 careers with more than 50000 family members here in sales create that want to meet up with their relatives that were they were separated from in north korea back more than 70 years ago. but there are divisions in south korea as well. the current president, conservative president, you took your g minds to strengthen the alliance with the united states and increasingly with japan. he believes in peace through strength, which is a start turn around from previous p

frank gore on the left, alex smith looking on.sco reach the nse tip -- chappie chip in three of the last four seasons, including back to back years. we know that the team is loaded with talent, especially that core that has gotten so close over the years. they understand the opportunity to win now. >> it's at the top of everybody's priority list. worrying about when the window closes does nothing for us. it's like worrying about when you're going to die. it's going to close eventually, but what's the point of looking forward to it, eventually want to hold up that trophy. >> one of the window is, it could be closing, and we want to keep it open as long as we can and get some wins while that window is still open according to anybody else. >> you can't snap your fingers and start from square one just like everybody else. we can't say, all right, we got this player and this player, we have to make sure that we are putting the work in, because have a good place is not going to get you anywhere. you want to have a great team, not just g

frank? >> i've got to tell you, jack smith has jumped up the 30 defendants, if it weren't so gravely serious. the super city indictment reads like the episode of the three stooges. it really does. the boxes are moving here, there, they're getting on a plane, the bed minister. it's like the classified and minister of steadily that the kids cut out and they bring all over the place and photograph. really, they're all over the place. i don't see how these three guys are going to go to trial together, keep attorneys paid for by trump and not incriminate each other. the second trump says, i didn't tell them to do it. they're going to go, no, you did tell us to do it. it's going to be a three ring circus with the three stooges. the mystery has been solved, where the iran document ended up. it's been recovered. that's good news for national security. but, i think they are jammed up. i don't see how trump gets out of this. >> all right, katie, new topic. the special counsel election interference case, a lot of people thought we could see indictment there today. but we didn't. but i want to share wha

frank, you heard about laura's reporting on jack smith, do you agree where this tells us where the probe stands now, how quickly you might find it on this letter saying donald trump is a target? >> sure. look, we're days away, likely, of the indictment of a former president, the letter purportly says he's got in this week to get in, make his case, meet with prosecutors. and likely, if he doesn't, we're looking at an indictment. the mystery, of course, is what the charges might be. but not much of a mystery there. actually even today, trump has posted on his social media something about a reference to obstruction. if that's linked to the target letter, it might be that he's been advised that he's looking at impeding or obstructing congress. that could imply at least two ways, one of physical violence of breaching the capitolful prosecutors could cross that rough hurdle showing that he knew about it or encouraged it. or more likely, the obstruction of congress to stop the certification through an alternate set of electors and pressuring pence and others. but we'll see where that goes. but

reporters and friends new york times washington correspondent mike smith is back, former assistant director for counter intelligence at the fbi, frank is back, and former assistant u.s. attorney glen kisher in here, all msnbc contributors. i want you to take me through substance and tone of what the government argues because it feels like they've laid a bit of a trap for judge aileen cannon. if she goes against the government they have already described those sort of judgements as frivolous and nowhere in the law. >> so first of all, nicole, let me start with the tone because that may be what i enjoyed most. i mean, it makes clear that jack smith and his team do not mince words, they do not pull punches, and they recognize that done right, justice is a full contact sport. and they went 100 miles an hour after each and every assertion that trump's team had made when they filed their request a few days earlier that judge cannon set no trial date and, you know, the first thing that jack smith and his team pointed out on page 1, is that that actually violates the law. the speedy trial act which says a defendant once charged, the judge t

woangts be back up here but we're sorry to see you not coming up here you're frank and forthright with us as chairman ranking member smith said, it is a refreshing to have that level of engagement with joint chief. my questions are -- related to china. which has become, you know, an invogue thing for both democrats and republicans to talk about and agree on up here. general -- i'm sorry secretary austin, can you help us understand what you think is beginning on between china and russia? these of ukraine i know, obviously, we're not in classified session but help the american people understand it because they all watched -- xi go to, you know, to spend some time with mr. putin. are they helping them evade sanctions a weapon exchange help me understand it. >> there's probably some of that in terms of helping them to evade sanctions and creating some -- opportunities for them. i do think that xi does not want to see russia fail in a catastrophic way. my thoughts are that he believes that that would be bad for international stability plus he feels as long as there's a russia that can keep mayo and u.s. busy, then that works

jack smith is not going to add this as a count and say it was the document if he can't substantiate that at trial. >> franke of the interesting aspects of this for me is the introduction of this new figure in all of this. mr. deoliveira, who in reading through the transcript at once seems hesitant, at other times compliant. how do you read his role in this? particularly given when you look at the indictment, i want to read this to you when they talk about his loyalty. there's some concern about whether or not he was going to be loyal enough. just over two weeks after the fbi discovered classified documents in the storage room in trump's office in august 2022, nauta called trump employee 5 and said words to the effect of, someone wants to make sure carlos is good. in response, trump employee 5 told nauta, de oliveira was loyal and would not do anything to affect his relationship with trump. that to me says a lot. not just so much about whether or not de oliveira was in the game, but there was some interesting concern about whether or not trump could manipulate or use this guy to get his ends met in regards

frank figliuzzi is here. tim, when you listen to the criminal referrals that congressman raskin listed off there, that sort of was the climaic final work and the bred crumbs left by jack smith, the fact that pence and meadows have been in before the grand jury investigating january 6th, does any one of those the crimes referred leap out for you? >> the order raskin used is exactly the order that i think we'll see in the indictment. the lead charge here in my view is 1512 c, the evidence that the president and his co-conspirators specifically intended to obstruct, impede, or interfere with a official proceeding, a joint session which president biden's election was certified, is the lead count. i think the others are important to. i think the least likely is the aid and comfort to an insurrection. that is a statute that has not been used by federal prosecutors, not been brought against any of the january 6th rioters. it's unclear what aid and comfort means, what's the intent level. so i think that is the one of the four is the most obscure or least likely. but 1512, from our investigation, we headlined with that statute, i think that is likely the operating assumption, the ap

smith probe. >> we don't know until and unless an indictment is unsealed. we don't know unless there's a trial. to the two glenns, thank you so much for spending so much time with us. frankke i left you out. i have to find you another frank. >>> one republican candidate says january 6th was not an insurrection. another says that donald trump's actions that day were not crimes. how the republican party's attitude towards january 6th stands in cheat and total contrast and contradiction to the facts, as they saw them that day. that's next.
