w correspondent mikaela. now in washington and asked her for more details about the fresh us sanctions against russia. it was made quite clear in that statement that came from the secretary of state just as so while after comments on that telephone conversation, that these were sanctions in addition to those already imposed over ukraine, that they were very much separate and that they were because of russia's quote, malign influence on elections, but also democratic institutions around the world. this goes back to the less meddling in us elections. and this is quite interesting because it wasn't raised in connection with that telephone conversation that was much more on close to home, matters for the americans who have put in what they call a serious offer on the table to try and secure the release of to us citizen, so this really is a wholesale condemnation of russia's influence on democracies worldwide. and that's why individuals and entities are targeted here in the united states who are seen as anti inter

this awesome mikaela, christopher the in washington. let's go to 3 lane canal where people are still occupying government buildings and protesting in the streets of the capital in anger at the severe economic crisis. the prime minister, who is now the acting president, has ordered security forces to restore. com demonstrate the calling on him to resign along with president, go to buy a roger pock sir, who has fled the country. protestors watched the nightly news from the presidential palace. they've occupied the residence for days on tv, the acting president, accusing the demonstrators of trying to grab power after they broke into his office . many thought that you knew that because of today's situation, the security forces advised me to declare a state of emergency and impose the curfew that i'm thinking, hey, dale i, i am now implementing or is a state of emergency and a curfew. the utmost that again we must defeat this sasha threat and i think i'm gonna o protestors ignored the curfew and the order to vacate public space is becoming

and for more i am joined now by our correspondent mikaela, if not in washington, mikaela biden's as the world is counting on him and as countries a why the stopping short of declaring a national climate emergency well, because he simply wants to get the chance to take this bit by bit i think he is in the process of giving up hope to avoid that know that he said that he won't take as an answer and that's one of his own centers. do mansion who's turned on him, and there's such a delicate balance currently amongst lawmakers that that one vote would be needed and to implement his climate action, the whole build back better concept of joe biden. so this points to weakness in the u. s. president strategy and actually getting stuff done. and his climate adviser was actually off by done this on the plane that his somerset massachusetts why there was no declaration of emergency why. there was no executive order sweeping executive order today. and the she wouldn't go into details, but very much sounded like they're still working out the exact details on how they want to do this. but the announcem

c. mikaela. let's start with the latest steve band and once a key ally to trump now faces jail time, he didn't testify in his events or call any witnesses though not a huge surprise. he was found guilty as it that's not a shoe surprise and clearly he refused to even hand over any documents. but you can't seem to get away with not cooperating in the face of a house committee. but his lawyers already said that they will appeal. he says he has a bullet proof information that will prevent steve bowden from going to prison at could be up to 2 years. so this is still open once again, but a very clear indicator that he can't simply wiggle out of this. returning to the january 6th hearing, the attorney general has emphasized that no one is above the law. so why is it so difficult to build a case against donald trump? but anyone who was watching those 3 hours last night here in washington, d. c clearly could detect a case, anyone who still cares about facts and merit. garland made that statement at 2 days

right mikaela. what does this caretaker resignation mean now for the governor? the ability to take on initiatives, for example, as you know at lee is the biggest recipients of the use covered recovery funds. but seeing as that money is tied to certain reforms that italy must take, do you think that italians might lose out on the next installment? no, i don't think so. the current government can carry on with the normal process . i don't think the money is at risk, of course there will be a new government and no government will decide what to do with these a recovery fund. i tell you my view a very may be different from what you may have heard. the money that we get from the european union. first of all, it is the money that ultimately comes from the financial mark that you are can, you know, raises funds in the market, and then pass this part of the money back to the member states. so the ultimate investors are the financial markets like it happens normally the european union, these kind of an intermediary kind of plays the role of almost an investment banker, u

there was no longer a place to store wheat or puffy mikaela that was in along the devastating explosion and bay roads port almost 2 years ago. not only destroyed the wheat silos, but people's confidence in politics. here the country is experiencing an economic crisis. the currency is in free fall. food prices have risen by more than 600 per cent bread prices have also multiplied. the world bank has promised lebanon a $1000000.00 loan for wheat, but the money hasn't arrived yet. we are having a very serious concern that if russia claim prices continues to grow, and we import about 80 percent of our wheat from russia and you claim we don't have any national deserves in lebanon. the last bread of the day is coming out of the ovens overseen by the baker, muhammad. he doesn't know if he'll have flour again to morrow, even though russia has supposedly promised to release week deliveries. there is still no sign of them in lebanon. the main defendant for the terrorist attacks that shook terrorists in 2015 has been sentenced to life in prison. during the trial, survivors were forced to confront
