. >> i wallace want to bring in we have ronan bergman with us a staff writer for "the new york times" magazine and author of "the secret of -- therace of israel's targeted assassinations." it's great to have have you here. this is not something president biden and his aides wanted to confront. they have been trying to contain this for months now. now we have these american led strikes last night, the unilateral american ones tonight, what does this clear shift in strategy look like going forward? >> well, it seems that as much as the u.s. tries to contain the situation, not reacting to this brutal violation of freedom of maritime traffic. and as much as israel did not react to the cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, the drones sent by the houthis. this was of course an unprovoked attack. i would say the resistance happened before october 7th from both from hezbollah in the north and the houthis in yemen -- we have a long road between a full-scale war between israel and the efforts of resistance. the u.s. is trying not to get itself -- try to, but it didn't work. as far as we hear our

ronan, do you think hamas was taken by surprise by what happened today? >> yes. for two great reasons. one is the location, the second was the timing. the location is the -- quarter of beirut, this is the stronghold of hezbollah, a -- not a member of -- in which the palestinians -- and iran and others, the houthis are also members. but hezbollah are hosting hamas. is the -- re-locators from -- to beirut for exactly the reason, -- for israel. and i think that they believe that israel would not dare or -- . long ago, -- the rules of the game were drawn between israel and hezbollah, to which israel can attack -- in syria, kill iranians in lebanon, or in syria, but not killing hezbollah organizations. in fact after benjamin netanyahu, -- threatened to kill exactly the same mr. -- , in august before the attack. on the background of -- with hamas, hezbollah said we would not accept this, this is a crossing of a red line. so this is -- i think the hamas leaders believe that as long as hamas is holding israeli hostages, they are safe, and israel would not go through this

this is michael ronan. his attorney have been saying that without evidence, fani willis had this affair with macon wade. that she's financially benefitting from the salary that he had as prosecutor. when you look at this, how serious of an issue do you think this could be for fani willis here? >> well, up until today, i generally had almost nothing but good thing to say about how d.a. willis has been handling this case. with the corroboration that came out this afternoon of the allegations being made by michael roman against her, you know, i've said that i think she should seriously consider taking a personal leave and stepping away from the office. i think that is about the only way this case doesn't go right off the rails right now. >> she hasn't denied it so far. she hasn't stood up in defense of nathan wade, who she hired. when you read about other the credit card statements, i wonder if that proves anything. >> it corroborates two possible arguments that really donald trump is probably going to make al

glanced ronan missile strikes from yemen in container ship sets transiting into the red sea through thendered container traffic through the red sea. most are diverted around the cape of good hope, south africa, according to industry standards, which adds thousands of mile. they're saying suez canal doesn't really work, straining is still recovering world economy. this is the senior white house correspondent. he joins me now. what do we know? >> hi there, chris. as you said, the stakes are incredibly high here around the world. president biden just released a statement saying more than 2000 chips so far have been forced to divert from the red sea. we're getting a video of one of these airstrikes tonight are also hearing from senior administration officials who are saying that these strikes the intent was not to escalate the situation but rather to degrade the capability of the houthis to attack maritime vessels vessels. but chris, as you know, escalation could be a very big concern here. we have not yet heard from iran. around's response to all this, but we have already heard from the ho

ultimately ronan farrow beat me to the story but i sucked it up and said i'll get the next one and ended up working on the danny rodriguez story and identify the individual who drove a stun o gun into the offices neck which was a major story that i a wrote. >> host: i want to get into that later but i'm curious that sedition hunters as you described them, sleuths have become sorte of this adjunct essential of the fbi and the book details and a remarkable way the modern history of the fbi and a lot of the failings in this arena ended with modern technology. the sleuths seem to have arisen as a consequence of that of the fbi's, cumbersome bureaucracy of it. tell me about this, the community, how can together. are these people that work in concert? are the multiple groups or to don't get along, to the know who each other are? do you know who they are traffic on the some of them are. some of them i only know by their handles andth their histo. what's nice about this is both the fbi, what's nice about this for both the fbi and for me if i can check this. i can look at what he did, what does b

. $625 million on the ronan bridge. but 2023 very different.illion. a number of potential reasons for that. first, we've seen better cybersecurity from decentralized finance protocols and other types of services. we've seen aggressive law enforcement action to go after the laundering services used by cyber criminals, such as mixers. you know, sinbad was a mixer recently sanctioned by the u.s. treasury department. that was a go-to mixer for north korea hackers. finally seen in many respects the crypto industry coming together to build out cybersecurity to take action. remember, one of the keys for hackers in laundering the funds is taking those funds and off-ramping them into the real world. moving them into usable currencies. better cybersecurity and compliance controls on the on and off ramps at the exchanges has been critical stopping the laundering piece of these crypto hacks. good news in 2023. see what happens moving into 2024. >> just to get into exactly how those numbers shake out, prices were also down last year. right? so i mean, is it
