unauthorised meetings with israeli officials, politicians, and the then prime minister benjamin netanyahus get some of the day's other news. iran has given a positive account of talks with the un's nuclear monitoring agency, the iaea, which were aimed at easing tension's over tehran's atomic programme. the iaea chief, raffael grossi, went to iran seeking access to monitoring equipment installed at some sites, from which his inspectors have been barred. the iranian nuclear authority said the talks had been "constructive". four members of a palestinian militant group have appeared in court in israel after being captured following a prison break. they were among six who escaped a maximum security israeli prison earlier this week through a tunnel dug from under a sink in a cell. police in the greek city of thessaloniki have used tear gas and water cannon to keep around 1,000 anti—vaccination protesters from the venue of a speech by the prime minister. halfway through his four—year term, kyriakos mitsotakis has seen his conservative party's ratings flag after wildfires destroyed swathes of for

prime minister naftali bennett made his general assembly review warning as prime minister benjamin netanyahuthat iran want as nuclear bomb. he says tehran already crossed all red lines, ignoring harassing u.n. inspectors and they seek to dominate the middle east with a nuclear umbrella. he is urging the biden administration to take a much tougher stance against iran as the iranian nuclear talks remain stalemated. liz? elizabeth: eric shawn, thank you so much. joining us now senator marsha blackburn from senate armed services. senator, great to have you back on again. what do you want to ask defense secretary lloyd austin and general mark milley joint chiefs chair when they testify before the senate armed services committee tomorrow about the botch the withdrawal from afghanistan? what do you want to hear? >> liz, one of the things we're wanting to get clarity around, where was the breakdown. if you had the commanders on the field, they're on the ground in afghanistan and they were saying you need to keep the troop levels at 2500, don't give up bagram airfield f you pull out abruptly the tali

remember that icy relationship that benjamin netanyahu and former president biden had.could pull everybody together on the hill because he was there for 40 years. i lay this at the feet of the white house, because they can say whether or not we spend money in a bill because we want to help our greatest ally in that reasonable yun defend itself. this is defensive only. right? this isn't an offensive piece of equipment, the iron dome. it is to protect people's lives. it doesn't go on the offense. i'm somewhat in a quandary over what this gets us. maybe politically it gets him or them something. >> i think you make the key point. he has lost his base. he has not rolled back title 42 on immigration. this is to placate them. this stops them from coming in. >> a lot of them. look at this image, emily. every flash you see as apac points out, is a rocket being destroyed. every flash is stopping a rocket from across the border. >> it is so transparent the squad is doing this because of their anti-semitic outlook. unfortunately, pelosi had to capitulate to them because otherwise

however the politics in israel have changed, netanyahu isn't there anymore so maybe there is an openinghe greater point about whether america is still going at it alone, let's be clear here. joe biden gave a fairly strong speech at the u.n. where he reassured our allies that america is still here to support our international and strategic partnerships, whether it was nato, eu, the african union, our quad partnership with japan, australia and india. these are really important alliances that were virtually destroyed for the most part by donald trump's america first policy. so i think that even though the biden administration has had some challenges, whether it was afghanistan or what happened with the submarine issue in france, we still need the important presence of our military because of deterrence and reassurance. there's a lot of bad stuff and bad actors still out there in the world and america is still the strongest super power. >> francesca, you had another story this week, the pact between the u.s. and australia and nuclear arms. franc was upset france went so far as to withdraw t
