date, north korea rush of batteries, countries like that did not include china, did not include iran, iran upstage on this question. i think countries all over the world, whatever their idea already do not want a precedent of big naples coupling up smaller ones being seen as okay. i mean, i'm actually time don't, it's had this motor wants to blame somehow for invading themselves. i mean, i mean, you government republicans in this town and you ask them privately who is inside the, who's the dictate there, there will say put him in public. they are cowed. they will say they will refuse to say that russia invited you create lots of them. and so what, what the president is here for? i'm trying to think of another country suffering the parts of the well, we haven't discussed those thoughts about it is very ominous. do you think rushes back in the in the g 8 and do you think donald trump is going to throw a state dinner celebrating by them recruiting in the white house? i think that i'm 15 is going to invite trump to the may nights. may day parades and moscow. oh, and that trump will

of china, and it lost its way further east. bringing some of that winter weather to south korea, north korea, as well as on woods to central parts of japan. below it, we loaned the spells of rain running all the way down to east and pots of china to the very south as well. another wintery mix developing across small central areas, not cold blast, is going to bring temperatures down rather dramatically for the likes of so, and you know, the temperatures offsets to rise in paces further south, for example, ty pay will be 5 degrees above the average that on monday, now it's also a bit of a wintery mix. it's expected to bloss into northern parts of pakistan and india, which could potentially caused further problems here. okay, much of the country there for india is a largely dry and fine picture of the west to weather that developed in the south pushes its way across the mall. these, there's lots of heat to come with them on by seeing $35.00 degrees celsius on monday. the, the muslim community in diana, living in a 5 range caribbean culture, this country, we're blessed. we live in harmony with a

you mentioned transnational fraud rings, terrorist nationstates, north korea, nuclear weapons programs funded by tax dollars. china, iran, romania, russia, not our friends being funded by taxpayer dollars. can give you -- can you give examples of how this is happening? mr. talcove: think about what happened during the pandemic. $1 trillion was stolen. 78% of that money went overseas and i can give you some examples. a western state had more people applying for unemployment insurance benefits that they had individuals over 18. the people that were stealing the money from romania were using it to facilitate other fraud schemes that include fentanyl and other things that impact our democracy. on the insider threat, the first thing you have to say is 99% of people that work in the public sector are honest and hard-working individuals. but, there are some. what you need is data and technology to root that out. there were examples during the pandemic. there were some examples even last week. people got into the medicaid system in a western state and still $50 million in less than four months

malevolent players whoever they may be sometimes foreign influence china russia iran a little bit north korea so i'm not sure what's going to happen. i do think my sons tend to be a little smarter in my surprised at what they understand. >> the thread here is that people can run social media and on facebook and the news comes than the people have a hard time if something looks good and it looks like it's the real thing but how do you know it's not a real thing and what they are doing often is looking to someone they trust to tell them is this real. one of my main jobs of parents asked me if this is real and should i be worried about this and they are asking and they trust that i will tell them if they should worry about that particular thing. how do we get people's trust in institutions which projected on the health side which was totally destroyed during the pandemic so to say they go to the ddc and they are like i don't trust those people anymore. how do you develop a relationship when they will track whatever experts they are putting out. it's tough because stuff looks real when it's not a

there inert in the oval office today saying nothing, looking green, and then put out a boilerplate north koreaake about hope for republicans showing any sort of resistance here? is there any? >> you know, again, this is a shift in our politics that the senate used to be a place where, right or wrong, people would criticize a president when they stepped out of line, even one of their own party. and here is a situation that is so grave. and my colleagues know this because we meet with these leaders. i was in communication today with an estonian leader. this has struck and struck fear in their country because estonia, latvia, lithuania, moldova, these countries know the threat of russia and worry because putin is using the same rhetoric with them. he used about the ukrainian people. this has grand implications beyond just ukraine and we know our history, but yet our failing to learn from it. if there's ever a time for political courage, even if it means undermining one's ability to get reelected, this is a time for courage. and we know from our history when good men do nothing. that is the ingred

has there ever been such a vote where the united states votes alongside russia, north korea, belarus and other west african hunters, including also, by the way, israel was always also part of it against a un general assembly resolution condemning the aggression. >> we are in a new era. how long the era lasts, i think is up for grabs. you know, fundamentally, donald trump won the election with 30% of the vote, of the total vote he got about, i think, 49% of the electorate. that turned out, you know, donald trump, like all of us are here today, gone tomorrow. politicians, right. you know, whoever occupies the white house doesn't indefinitely represent the united states. we all come and go. same for number ten, same for the elysee palace. >> and you're a former military person yourself. and we will hope to have you back as this progresses. ben wallace, thank you so much. indeed. former uk defense secretary. up next, as gaza's future hangs in the balance, the painful price of this war for israelis as shiri kefir and ariel bibas finally returned home to be buried. >> learn how to experime

voted with russia and north korea instead of its european allies in refusing to blame russia for starting the war. it's all rather embarrassing, unless it results in a deal. see, this is the true test of a transactional president. can the art of the deal bring about the end of the war? i think it's offensive to ask ukraine for reimbursement. backward looking for american aid. that sets a bad precedent. telling a friend threatened by an invading force and no friend of ours. well, we'll help you, but only for a price. if, however, there's a deal to be struck in our mutual interest, let's do it. and if, after striking that agreement, trump can resolve a three year old war in a way that biden could not, and which protects ukraine's sovereignty, i'll be the first to say this was all worth it. and maybe you deserve a nobel prize, mr. president. but until then, i'm going to keep thinking that the the bullying and the browbeating of the ukraine president by the american president and vice president was unnecessary and out of bounds. one more thing occurs to me. yesterday, a conservative journalis

sided with north korea, with russia against our allies, against ukraine, and then. i today, earlier today, proceeded to try to berate the leader of a country that's been fighting for for its own independence, its own sovereignty for three years, but also really defending the west, a bulwark against russian aggression. beating up russia in a way that makes us safer and makes the europeans safer. making sure that russia doesn't pose the same kind of threats. and we what do we do? we we beat them up for it. and i'm i'm pretty proud of the fact that he held his own against that room of sheer hostility. um, what's sad about this is, you know, i my book released this week, it talks about the history of 30 plus years. republican administrations from george h.w. bush all the way through to the democratic administrations. we've made mistakes along the way, but nothing like we've seen today. >> you know, just to just to reset expectations here. i mean, it seems to me the biggest, uh, issue here, and it's linked to what alex just said, is that the trump administration wants to

xi in china, kim in north korea, the rulers of iran are watching. and what trump demonstrated is weakness, pathetic abandonment of an ally who has been bleeding and dying. and then the audacity to say that zelenskyy doesn't want peace. this man has led the country bleeding and dying. he's lost friends. he's gone to visit the amputees. i've been with him at times when he has mourned and really. indescribably grieved for his country, and he's led it with courage and determination. in the first russian assault, they came within just miles of his bunker. i visited bucha, where women and children were shot through the head and buried in mass graves. so he wants peace, but it has to be peace with freedom and independence. and that's why we should be supporting him. because putin will keep the aggression going. >> well, putin has said there's no such thing as ukraine, and there's no such thing. >> by the way, this is just to add, is this it's the if you look at russia today. so this is it's a it's a giant military camp from kindergarten to the top of the g

the north koreans will get emboldened and they might try to invade south korea and japan will be at risk. and america's alliances around the world will fall pieces. so that remains the argument for. american engagement in places and conflicts, faraway the anti-interventionist argument today is that there is no end to the number of places the united states could engage. and for america to mortgage its future on what vladimir decides to do tomorrow, what kim jong un decides to do tomorrow, this is silly. you cannot control people who are beyond your control. and even if the united states could assist, for example, in ukraine's efforts to hold off russian advances, suppose ukraine wins this war. well, russia is still going to be a very large country with a very long border next to and the russians still consider that ukraine ought to be part of the united states. and so unless unless well, and this is exactly what lindbergh said, unless the united states is determined to defend ukraine forever, then you just got to cut your losses. and i've been very good have said and i'll go there in the

do you want to side with, as the marco rubio pointed out, north korea and, you know, iran designed dronesthe ukrainians have just shot down. is that who you want to be with, or do you want to be with the other countries of the free world, our allies, our trading partners? they're going to matter in all of this. the italian prime minister, who is a conservative, a friend of president trump, just called for a summit and she actually has stood with ukraine. so that's the second thing i think that will matter with our european allies. um, and then the third thing to get it back on track is just to remember what is at stake here for american leadership across the world. and everything is on the table. so, no, i don't think we should be in a war. i think we should be in a. in america, moving forward with our allies. and i would hope that the tomorrow that we can start resetting this again, instead of dividing everyone. and i am very appalled by what happened. but my view is we need to go forward. >> yeah, we'll see what that looks like. senator klobuchar, as always, thank you for your time. >>
