one of these was john the baptist, who was known to preach in the desert. the gospel of matthew also refers to jesus fasting in the wilderness for 40 days and nights. ah. and saint jerome lived and worked near a cave in bethel him where according to the tradition jesus was born. that is why renaissance artists usually depicted saint jerome at the mouth of a cave, including leonardo himself. the problem was that there were no craggy rocks and cliffs in tuscany. so what the local artist did, but simply use their imagination and stack stones in a large pile. thinking that this is what a mountain in the desert would look like. of course, leonardo would never be satisfied with such a solution. that's why he was so keen to explore the mountain region, north of milan, and observe the geological formations up close. the result was a series of amazing drawings that are now in the royal collection. at windsor. these drawings reveal lunar dos, careful observation of soaring mountains, stark walk formations and mysterious caves. and in the process, leonardo discovered

try to celebrate over coffee literally for 10 minutes the big holiday today in the family of john the baptistforerunner or in the vernacular ivan kupala but how many are actually not only christian traditions connected with this day and religious questions and i don't even want to imagine the night, but i can guess. sometimes i'm very sorry that we are looking for those times to completely immerse ourselves in that atmosphere, and maybe for the better, because ah, well, ukrainian beliefs are very strong, and i think that somewhere, the voice of our ancestors is still speaking, therefore, the ukrainians will fly away quickly, christ is better not to tease , what is the word to anzhelika sezonenko, the information release has already prepared at the start of the news, anzhelika , we congratulate you and ask you to say thank you, colleagues . let's hope that the pagan gods will also help us overcome our enemy

after all, today is a great ukrainian and not only ukrainian christian holiday and john the baptist . well, we are now finishing our first hour of work and handing over the floor to anna eva melnyk , who introduces us to the news. after the news, we will return to the studio and wait for the completion of the release. anna eva do you think this is a tautology ? well, thank you for your work, i'm just ready, and we'll talk in particular about the fact that rejonson is leaving his post. well, the european parliament will allocate 1 billion in financial aid to ukraine. not only then, let's start with the fact that the rashists once again shelled sloviansk with artillery in the neighborhoods of the forester. there are injuries , the mayor of the resort vadym lyakh said. a projectile hit the local market , two people were killed, seven were injured, according to the mayor, now the city is close to the front, in some directions the enemy is at a distance of 7:10 km , so it is important to evacuate, the russians hit with missiles in kramatorsk, the mayor of kramatorsk , oleksandr goncharenko

on the day of john the baptist on june 24, the caravan of princess zoya, consisting of a hundred cartsgna and nuremberg the caravan drove to seaside city lubak. here, in order to go around dangerous lithuania, terrible storms boarded the ship. they wore them across the baltic sea on the twelfth day, made their way to the primorsky city, kolyvania in kolyvans, moved to sani and the rest of the way to moscow through pskov and veliky novgorod went in a snowstorm and chairs, the road took 7 months. well, not good khan akhmat is gathering troops from the border. it would be soon and to us to welcome. what do you say? fyodor vasilyevich save up kettle beer no money, empty since the trip to novgorod gold we cannot count. so. maybe grigory ivanovich has half a ruble to go around. the grand duke, the messenger, in parts from the byzantine princess, all without a harrow and the main legate, all in red, enters the temple to the icon, they don’t apply, but instead of blessing like this with your fingers at people, you don’t apply to thunderstorms either. according to the orthodox, to apply will be

she may end up being john the baptist if donald trump ends up losing the nomination.s probably mike pence. he's the one probably most likely going to lay out this message that we can have all the policy you want without the unconstitutional january 6 baggage. i mean, that's basically what pence is going to argue. what i'm interested in, don, is whether ron desantis, nikki haley, some of the others, are going to go as far as what cheney is doing. i doubt that they will. at some juncture if you're running against trump in the primary, you can't just say i'm 100% donald trump all the way. you're not really giving anyone a choice. the one candidate i think is most likely to carry this ball is pence. and if the reports are true that trump is thinking of jumping into this race early, he'll get his chance early on to define it on those terms. we'll see if it works. i don't know. certainly she is laying that groundwork for him. >> listen, she's gained a lot of attention nationally, scott. she's been in the spotlight. do you think there's a chance liz cheney might run? >> sure

it's normally the feast of the nativity of john the baptist on that day, but rare for it was this rare piece of the sacred art and i just thought that really had to be a providential, you know message to us. the planets were also aligned the planners. yeah for the non-capers. thank you. really? i mean we have to lead with with love in everything that that we do from this point on and you were reminding me ryan when you were talking of years ago when the partial birth abortion debate was a thing a thing during the clinton administration rick santorum has the story of one night, you know speaking those who watch c-span know the empty floor in the senate, you know, and and he just he he calls his wife karen and said i'm gonna be home a little later. he just had this nudge that he needed to keep talking. he was debating diane feinstein at one point. and anyway, like four years later. he gets the letter from from i think it was the mother. it was the mother of the father. and anyway that night a couple is watching just flipping channels and they stop on c-span for some reason or another and

presence alone that he took the time and thenst afterwards he was spending time with us thereon i never knew i would become his pastor atf ebenezer baptist church in his courage of the john lewis and amelia one of the ones we don't lift up those names nearly enough that she was gassed on the same bridge. i later met her of course crossed the bridge with john lewis. what is the face the people like that who really didn't have any reason to o believe they could win. looking back at the civil rights movement and too often speak about these victories with the passage of the civil rights movement, the voting rights law. housing, as if these were inevitable victories. they were quite j improbable. >> that one of the things that is important for people to understand it didn't happen in one fell swoop. think about the work of the civil rights act of 1964 past on —- when it was passed there was no voting unit or housing unit and lament to the private sector. and to look back on that. >> sone people look back in one fell swoop. so look at the journey and that incremental steps and then to be the perfect enemy of the good. >> that's exactly right. and then theac moments when the de

the pastor of the lebanese or baptist church. it is the courage of johnewis and amelia, one of the women we do not lift up those names nearly enough. i later met her. hosea williams of course cross that bridge with john lewis. it is the faithth of people like that who really did not have any beliefs and they could win. we look back at the civil rights movement. i think too often speak about these victories for the passage of the civil rights movement. the voting rights law. fair housing as if these were inevitable victories. they were improbable quite improbable. >> not just improbable but one of things thatt you point out hs people understand it did not all happen in one fell swoop. when i think about the work trying to get the civil rights act of 1964 past and passed in 64. but when it passed did not have voting in it. did not have housing in it. and really doing with employment discrimination only applied to the private sector did not apply to the public sector. so when you look back on that and the civil rights act 65, and did not apply to it until 72

the house. >> reporter: reverend warnock's other job title is senior pastor at ebenezer baptist church, the storied atlanta congregation where johnorshipped and where both martin luther king king sr. and jr. were pastors. >> i'm not in love with politics. i'm in love with change. politics is for me a tool. i got involved in something as messy as politics with the hope that i could continue to work on the issues that i've worked on any way. >> reporter: warnock and fellow georgia democrat jon ossoff were elected to the senate in a runoff election last year, giving democrats 50 votes and control of the senate when joe biden became president. whether or not democrats can hold on to that majority this november will once again rest in large part on what happens in e rnockes aough in a race blsil fined esce from national environment, warnock, like all democrats, will have to distinguish himself. it helps to have a good biography, something the senator is highlighting in his new memoir, "a way out of no way." >> any time you walk into a sanctuary like this on any sunday morning, at some point there's a good chance that the preacher or s

i would become his pastor as i assumed the pastorate of ebenezer baptist church and it is his kind of courage the courage of the john lewis. and amelia boynton. oh, yeah, one of the women we don't we don't let's lift up those names nearly enough. but amelia boynton was on that same bridge. i later met her. hosea williams across of course crossed that bridge with john lewis. it is the faith of people like that who who really didn't have any reason to believe that they could win? your generation of it there was no we talked we looked back at the civil rights movement i think and too often. speak about these victories the passage of the civil rights movement the voting rights law fair housing as if these were inevitable victories, they were improbable quite improbable. not just in probable, but one of the things i think is important that you point that out is that don't understand. it didn't all happen in one fell swoop right when i think about the work. trying to get the civil rights act of 1964 past and it as the year said it passed in 1964, right but when it passed it didn't have voting in. it didn't have housing in
