>> i think the state department got this wrong. e fact is that the law here is the foreign sovereign immunities act of the united states and in the opinion they gave, the only cited international law. the foreign sovereign immunities act has a number of exceptions that have been passed by congress and signed into law. the 2008 defense act was accompanied with an exception to allow people to sue certain governments that were declared to be terrorist states. in 20 there was another act passed, the justice for victims of terrorist act, it takes away the state department's ability to designate a country -- it makes it possible to sue anybody involved in murder, torture, hijacking and hostagetaking. >> you think this should have fit under that expense -- exception. >> it's clear he was responsible for the murder and torture of jamaal khashoggi. >> president biden has said that mbs did order the operation that led to his murder. why issue immunity in a murder case? >> for the reasons you just mentioned, this was a very uncomfortable if no

the us state department has announced a new initiative. united states is financing a large-scale program to defuse explosive devices on the territory of our country. why is this important and what amounts are other statements we will discuss the last few hours with journalist dmytro anopchenko, who joins the broadcast from washington. so, dima, we see you, congratulations. why is there so much attention to this news? greetings, colleagues. well, you see, i am also watching, along with everyone, the broadcast of the first ones, as mrs. tetyana briefly informed about this fact. well, i would like to tell you what this means. the fact is that when these messages appeared, many journalists paid attention to them because the state department is responsible for demining, and it is the state department that usually finances it . finances such projects when he already understands that there are no active hostilities. and there is either a cessation of hostilities, that is, some kind of military conflict or war is ending, or at least there is a ten

we heard 1st from the pentagon and then from the state department from the state department, we heard quote, it is important for us to determine whether the missile crash in poland and poland with an accident or a deliberate act. the state department also says the us does not speak to escalate the situation and is working with. busy and, and nato, to collect more information, taking time to understand what has happened. now, we've heard similar statements from the white house now, joe biden is currently, he is currently in bali for the g 20. and from what we understand from what the white house press pool has been brief done, he apparently has been briefed on the situation. and furthermore, he intends to meet with the and speak, at least on the phone to the polish leader. he will be consulting poll is president shortly about the situation. there will be, there will be a conversation between biden and the polish has stayed at this point. you know, we've heard from the nato chief himself. all nato members are working together to establish facts and determine what should happen here. now

both the state department and the defense department fought against moving the embassy. went straight to the president , made the case vigorously, and president trump had the courage to overrule his own secretary of state, his secretary of defense, and move the embassy. and the day we opened the embassy, i was there in jerusalem on the anniversary, the 70th anniversary of the creation of the modern state of israel. [cheers and applause] the second decision just like that was pulling out of the iran deal. the exact same fight. the state argued against it, the defense argued against it. i went repeatedly to the president. again, the president had the courage to overrule his own state department and his defense department and pulled out of that deal. [applause] why does that matter the day the abraham accords were assigned? i was at the white house, i was talking with the foreign minister in the ambassador of bahrain in the uae. they both said almost exactly the same thing. they said, we want to be friends with america. it is now clear that america stands unequivocally with

i think the state department got this wrong. there is a case in 2010 in which justin stevens held i the court decided unanimously that foreign officials do not qualify for sovereign immunity. that is why i think it is a misapplication. >> at the end of the day, what does it mean if he's shielded from any kind of suit, what about any accountability for the murder of jamaal khashoggi? >> this is the ccern, when someone can't be sued, the person has impunity. it does not mean that at all. the biden administration went to great pains to state in their legal brief that we condemn the killing, it was wrong, it was heinous, but simply observing international law here, mohammad bin salman had him unity. -- had immunity. there were ways to hold him accountable. if the u.s. will comply with the long-standing obligations under international law and act the way we always have, to recognize the immunity of foreign heads of state as we talk about other states to treat our other states in their courts. >> it is another layer on a complicated r

and a state department spokesperson saying they strongly protest that.o hear from the russian government. now on the flip side of the coin, there is another american paul whelan who is also detained in russia and he was actually able to receive a visit from diplomats at the embassy in moscow earlier this week. that was the first time that they visited him since june. so of course that is a positive development. but we're all waiting to see if the wheels really start churning on any prisoner swap, to get both of these americans home. kate. >> thank you for the update. >>> so there are brutal day as head in ukraine. as temperatures are plummeting and the nation's power grid is being pushed to the limit. president zelenskyy said that now 10 million ukrainians are without power after the barrage of missiles we've been tracking all this week. nic robertson is live in kyiv with the latest. what has this week of russian missile attacks meant for ukrainians? >> reporter: it is meant more people in the dark for longer. more people without water. more people witho

the role of the state department together with us. the id is to address help to address the conditions on the ground so that haitians don't see a need to migrate so that they can see a place for themselves within haiti. so that wasn't what i asked, what i asked was 25000 at least haitian asylum seekers. migrants came to the u. s. looking for somewhere safe to live and they were returned back to haiti. so migration and issues around repatriation are obviously extremely complex and difficult. this is something that the 5 administration has taken on board and looking at a hemisphere wide solution to migration because the migration of course is not just coming from haiti when the haitian asylum seekers are being deported back to haiti . and they see a difference between how they're treated and how other asylum seekers are being treated. for instance, craniums kemi. as i said, these are extremely difficult questions that involve people's lives and people's wellbeing. and that is something that the state department and the broader u. s. gov

well, in this way, when the state department is now starting a large project for demining ukraine, well, this is such a signal, this is a signal that there is hope that the war will not always be, that the war will end, what does the state department believe in this? well, specifically about the project . they are training american sappers. well, it is precisely according to that program, precisely according to this model, that ukrainians should be trained to pass on their experience to them. well, almost 48 dollars will be spent on the training of ukrainian sappers, they must neutralize and find exactly the types of ammunition that are currently being used during the war in ukraine, which did not explode, which remained in the ground. well, there is already an exact figure for 2023 , it is 91 million million dollars. abandoned improvised explosive devices and other explosive objects exploded in the territories where people live, that is, they want to emphasize that it is not about the front, it is not about hostilities, it is about the territory that has already been liberated or the t

or state department? ms. tracy: senator, he described to me some channels but fairly limited -- limited channels. and also my impression was some of the same people that he was speaking with were speaking with officials here in washington. senator van hollen: that's been my impression, which is they sort of frozen out, to the extent they can and they can do a good job of freezing folks out in moscow. i hope you, at least, push the boundaries in talking to folks in civil society and elsewhere. and i would be interested in the extent to which we're applying reciprocity to their diplomats here. let me just get to this issue of the price gap which as you know is scheduled to take effect i think december 5. i think it's a very important move by the g-7, the united states, our allies. obviously, lots of questions about how it will work and i think some of us believe that ultimately this price gap needs to be backed up with the threat of sanctions to those who don't comply with what the e.u. is doing. what role, if

first of all, there is the official position of the state department. if i asked it, my american colleagues asked if you ask about in vain, the spokesman of the state department will always tell you that our position is that we can achieve the same effect of the same pressure on russia without using this mechanism, that is, do you remember how in the old soviet joke, when a man looked at a taxi, the driver got out and told you checkers or go well, the position of the american administration here is that the same pressure can be provided by other mechanisms. the second position is that there are many hopes and many fears . we know that if we include russia in this. blacklist of sponsors of terrorism, then it will not be possible to trade with it neither america nor other countries , well, there are many fears about the grain agreement, we see that ukrainian grain is bought because russia sells its own and it will be sooner, russia can disrupt it all that is, this is another argument well and the third argument is not said out loud, but i hear it on the s

she said, the united states state department has granted immunity to mbs. it wasn't a decision everyone expected. we thought maybe there would be a light to justice from the u.s.a. but, again, money came first. this is a world that jamal doesn't know about. she went on to tweet, biden saved the murderer by granting immunity. he saved the criminal and got involved. she feeted ja tweeted jamal die today. as you said, max, u.s. intelligence concluded the crown prince ordered the murder of khashoggi. he was a washington post journalist and outspoken critic of mbs. the state department just before midnight issued this court filing saying that mbs now has, quote, sovereign immunity after his father, king salman made him a min necessary stir. its recommendation is purely a legal consideration. it did condemn the murder as heinous. the crown prince is currently attending the apec summit in thailand. he was warmly welcomed. max, i think it's important to note. president biden was in saudi arabia back in july trying to convince mbs and the kingdom tomorrow undo oil p

the state department briefing a question about article four. that's what triggers that kind of emergency consultation. then and only then after he get answer to what's going on, then we can talk about what is the appropriate nato response. have we triggered article five? is this an attack or accident? then we can talk about consequences and there will be consequences in my view. it will be matter of degree? >> what is the timeline for these assessments to be happening? >> i would say hours. not days. there is nothing mysterious about this. we'll be able to go back an look at the radar tracking systems across ukraine. if this came from russia, it will be evident fairly quickly. what the pols find on the ground, very important as well. some of this will be classified but i think a fair amount will be releasable. i would say again within hours. not days. we'll have a pretty clear idea of what has happened here. in an ideal situation, moscow, the kremlin, would say yep, those are two of our missiles. we were launching them at what we consider legit

an official state and sponsor of terrorism, so far we do not have an answer to this from the state department. linguistically , the white house is already actively preparing for, in particular, the french flags solution, but not only that . is usually done by the first lady of the united states , and today joe biden officially opened the season at the white house by announcing the theme of today and this holiday season, and the theme is the unity of americans . she emphasized that despite the fact that there are many differences in the country, it is very important to remember that the values ​​of who stand america, they unite all americans. thank you yulia. yulia yarmolenko was with us in direct communication from the white house. this week, the ministers of the group of seven in bucharest will also discuss support for ukraine in the field of energy. this meeting can become an important mechanism to improve the coordination of international support to ukraine at a time when the world is horrified by the russian shelling and is ready to provide even more support to ukraine about this support

state department. allows in ukraine, it seems that's how everyone understands.pread, they are not afraid of condemnation from those who can really condemn them, that is, from the west. this is what i would say condoning the bandit behavior of ukrainian military personnel and, to a certain extent, even encourages them to continue to act in this way more graceful than bloodthirsty ghouls. in military uniform. the trident on the chevrons seems to be hard to find known that every serial maniac. longs for exposure, but not in order to end up in prison, and then so that no one else appropriated the authorship of his crime in the ukrainian army, such characters are clearly not ekaterina koryak and yevhen stefanchuk and sergey nashchekin channel one. the action to intimidate believers is what the russian orthodox church called today's searches in the kiev-pechersk lavra, which was arranged by the security service of ukraine, the kiev security forces said that they were looking for saboteurs and weapons depots on the territory of the complex, according to the head of the

guys. >> kylie atwood there at the state department. ago. the newark mayor's office, they have announced a press conference for 4:30 eastern, a little more than 30 minutes from now. officials will talk about the shooting where two officers were injured. >> both are said to be in stable condition as investigators are still looking for the shooter. we of course will monitor those remarks once they begin. >>> u.s. capitol police are calling for more resources to protect lawmakers after speaker nancy pelosi's husband was attacked in the middle of the night with a hammer. more on that straight ahead. contestants ready? go! only payay for what you need. jingle: libeberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. (driver) conventional thinking would say verizon has the largest and fastest 5g network. but, they don't. they only cover select cities with 5g. and with coverage of ove96% of interstate highway miles, they've got us covered. and i'm going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you mon

apologies, the state department and apologies, the state department and apologies, the state departmental council meeting to work out what is happening and that's because to speak to paul adams, our diplomatic correspondent whojoins us from adams, our diplomatic correspondent who joins us from the newsroom. just talk us through what is happening behind the scenes as we work out what happened on the ground. i work out what happened on the tround. ,. . . work out what happened on the tround. ,, . , ., , , .,, ground. i think what is happening as eve one ground. i think what is happening as everyone is — ground. i think what is happening as everyone is try _ ground. i think what is happening as everyone is try to — ground. i think what is happening as everyone is try to figure _ ground. i think what is happening as everyone is try to figure out - everyone is try to figure out exactly what happened on the ground to stop this is an incident that has taken place on the border of a country at war with russia, and the effect of that incident have been felt on the territory of a nato member, so

so my reaction coming in from the state department took us through the very latest . yes. well, what's happening is that we've heard from the pentagon, we've not heard from the national security council that now statements coming out of the state. but partment is a common thread through all of those statements that yes, we've heard about the reports. we are looking into the matter. we are trying to get confirmation that in fact, a russian missiles did go into poland near the ukrainian border. so at the moment, no confirmation that the event actually occurred. yet all agencies of the united states clearly looking into what actually happened, the pentagon spokesman saying as well, he didn't want to get n t and to any speculation about what would happen next, should these reports, in fact prove true. but the discussion already in a u. s. circles is along the lines of the article 5. now this is a critical part of nato's doctrine, in terms of which an attack on any partner is an attack on all partners. so it calls for the support and complete backing of all the members of nato.

the state department has also released statements accusing ask about of committing crimes, including false labor and torture. we spoke to nelson wong earlier, who is the vice chairman of this shanghai center for international studies. he said locals would not accept the us driving a wedge between 2 men is done and its historic allies. the sanctions, the u. s. has being taking against russia. most of them are not actually taking good effect as they have expected, a top official, donald new from the state department. he's visiting the minister specs on and cuts up on it is natural for russia to be on the alert about what the u. s. is doing in the neighboring countries for the us. that is a country so far away from a gun from eurasia when they want to come and expect to establish a closer relationship. let's see what we have to offer all the table. all right, if it is a for trying to sabotage the, the local government or to destroy or to home, the relationship, these countries with china and russia. and i don't think it's going to work because the people won't welcome that. and i don't

soccer players, state department officials say there was no coordination between the state department, the u.s. government, and this decision by u.s. soccer to put up that iranian flag that had missing the iranian emblem from it, and so what the state department is saying is that they, of course, want folks to focus on the game, but they also aren't condemning u.s. soccer for this decision. what they're saying over the weekend as a spokesperson said, quote, we look forward to a peaceful and competitive match on the field. the united states continues to find ways to support the iranian people in the face of state-sponsored violence against women, and a brutal crackdown against peaceful protesters. now of course, you have seen the state department, the biden administration come out in support of these iranian female protesters and essentially what they're saying here is they're going to keep doing that, and they're going to have all eyes on the game tomorrow. of course, we'll also be watching to see who from the u.s. government, who in the u.s. diplomatic corps attends that match. >> do

proves, unfortunately, that these institutions of the united nations have been hacked by the us state department and, accordingly, those countries that are in line with the united states and its foreign policy line towards a unipolar world order. where the united states will dictate to the whole world its often absolutely dislocated, as in this case, point of view, and such documents can be accepted and become documents of the united nations organization, which in this case is used as a tool by the us state department, we still, well, of course, we do not we categorically oppose this resolution and others like it, but we still stand for a multipolar world. with respect for the sovereignty of tradition and so on, each country, but at the same time, a multipolar world implies an e world, headed by the united nations and the security council as it was after the second world war. naturally adjusted for e, modern realities and from such a multipolar world with main. the un is hard to say when it's de facto hacked the us state department at the same time. eh, many countries. i think that they are able

states law. and i put in there all the penalty of life imprisonment. the department of justice repeatedly tried to get me to include the death penalty but. but since i'm going to pull the death penalty, i refused. and i regret to say that this is what we're seeing over there in, in you crank ah, the, the us biological warfare weapons programs that have been going on consistently since the reagan administration in violation of biological weapons convention. and i regret to report despite my best efforts in bio in violation of my biological weapons, anti terrorist act of 1989 that provides for life imprisonment. remember john, the pile warfare labs were set up and funded under the auspices of the pentagon, the department of war, the pentagon is not a humanitarian agency. and from every thing i have read being produced in the public record. yes, john, it does seem to me that the pentagon here, the d t r a was involved in the research development testing stockpiling of biological warfare weapons at these labs and ukraine. not all bio labs are the same . in fact, these la

message from colleagues from cnn, they refer to the statement of the spokesperson of the us state departmentprice, from his briefing, so the united states will make every effort to stop the supply of weapons by iran to the russian federation, this is the one in the united states will use all relevant and appropriate tools from our arsenal to counter iran's supply of weapons to russia, price said . and washington is always looking for means that can be used to respond, such as sanctions and other financial measures, we are concerned that russia may also seek to acquire advanced weapons from iran, such as surface-to-surface missiles, which will almost certainly be used in a war against ukraine, the state department spokesman added that the united states will resolutely implement all sanctions on russian and iranian arms trade to make it difficult for iran to sell weapons to russia. meanwhile, our service security detained an fsb spy who tried to infiltrate the trust and become a double agent, in particular, she tried to infiltrate the sbu in the 19th year, this lady was recruited by the russia

states law. and i put in there all the penalty of life imprisonment. the department of justice repeatedly tried to get me to include the death penalty but. but since i'm going to pony the death penalty, i refused. and i regret to say that this is what we're seeing over there in, in ukraine. are they the us biological warfare weapons programs that have been going on consistently since the reagan administration in violation of biological weapons convention. and i regret to report despite my best efforts in bio in violation of my biological weapons, anti terrorist act of 1989 that provides for life imprisonment. remember john, the pile warfare labs were set up and funded under the auspices of the pentagon, the department of war, the pentagon is not a humanitarian agency. and from every thing i have read being produced in the public record. yes, john, it does seem to me that the pentagon here, the d t r a was involved in the research development testing stockpiling of biological warfare weapons at these labs and ukraine. not all bio labs are the same . in fact, these lab

state department has been guarded about the developments and says that reports are incredibly concerningted states is certainly not primed to escalate or incite the situation at all. like i said, we have seen these reports that you all have, and we are working with the polish government to you gather more information, and we are not at a point where we can confirm what we are seeing. that is why i am telling you that we will determine when it is happening. this transpired, and we will determine appropriate next steps as well. >> in response, russia's defense ministry is reported to have said statements by polish media and officials about the russian missiles heading polish territory or a deliberate provocation with the aim of escalating the situation. it went on to say no strikes against targets near the ukrainian/polish border have been carried out by russian weapons. our correspondents are monitoring this fast-moving story. our diplomatic editor is at the g20 leaders summit in bali, but first let's go to mike in washington with the latest reaction out of the united states. mike, do we

state departments. it was abandoned in connection with the trial dzhemal khashuge, a well-known critic. politiekada lived in the us in 2017 and collaborated with the washington post on october 2, 2018. he disappeared after visiting the consulate in istanbul, according to the american side, the saudi crown prince, personally. he approved the operation to eliminate the khashoggi, because he saw it. threat journalists before the start of the world cup remains 2 days. it will take place in qatar and the first scandalous news about the championship. uh, it did n’t take long for british journalists from tahad to report that qatar bribed ecuador to lose the hosts of the opening match of the 2022 world cup, according to a source, 8 ecuadorian footballers received 7 million euros for this. it is reported that, and the qatari national team will win with a score of 1:0, and a goal will be scored in the second half , this data was allegedly confirmed by five insiders from the boat and ecuador. however, there is no

to explain this away, the state department says nolan was referring to ukrainian diagnostic and bio defense laboratories. during her testimony, and these are different from biological weapons facilities, and instead these bio defense labs, counter biological threats throughout the country. so it seems that the government is walking a very fine line here in these statements. on one hand, they said yes, there are labs, but on the other hand, no, they're not being funded by the united states. well, when i was working at the cia working against iraq, one of the things i learned early on in my career was that if you wanted to create a bio lab, all you needed was a kitchen sink a refrigerator and a stove top. it's literally that easy, and it's that dangerous to understand just how dangerous these labs are. let's bring in the investigative journalist who is behind the very 1st report on these ukrainian bio labs, patrick laurence of correspondent abroad for many, many years, chiefly for the international herald tribune. he's also a columnist and s a s author and lecturer, and he's currently writing

sharp magazines and why, for example, the same net price does not say about it. the rest of the state departments a very sensitive issue, this is the issue of the interaction of the united states with european allies . for example, the spokesmen of some departments, on the other hand , there is still dissatisfaction with the united states, there is this work. well, that's why they appear specifically . these are the showers in the press. i also tried to find out today. they told me that they absolutely confirm the information that appeared in sharp jordle, that is, indeed, the united states, you correctly said, go see what russia is looking for, and it seems to me that even there there were already facts, a woman finds them. that is, we are now talking with europeans, so i wanted to clarify two points that are extremely important for understanding, we are talking about cooperation with the europeans, it is the european union. yes, it is one and the other. that is, it will be a group. i do not know the investigative inspectors of diplomats. it is all because of the dash , so who will find loophol

our great regret that, hmm , the institutions of the united nations have been hacked by the us state departmentnd, accordingly, those countries that are in line with the united states and its foreign policy lines on a unipolar world order. where the united states will dictate to the whole world its often completely dislocated, as in this case, point of view, and similar documents can be accepted and become documents of the united nations, which in this case is used as an instrument by the us state department, we still, of course, we do not categorically oppose this resolution and similar ones, but we still stand for a multipolar world. with respect for sovereignty , tradition, and so on, of each country, but at the same time, a multipolar world implies a world of e, which is headed by the united nations and i council at the head of the international hierarchy security as it was at the end of world war ii. naturally adjusted for e, modern realities and from such a multipolar world with main. the un is difficult to talk about when de facto it is hacked by the us state department at the same time.

so today we did not see briefings neither in the pentagon, nor in the white house, nor in the state department, but despite this, there were reactions from the american officials, in particular anthony blicken-blicken, the secretary of state for states said that the constant russian attacks on critical infrastructure are aimed at keeping the ukrainian people in the cold and in the dark, but he says that this tactic will not break the determination of either the ukrainians or their partners. we also heard a similar statement from the american ambassador in kyiv bridget bring she said that these attacks are really aimed at punishing ukraine for the fact that she chose to be free, but bridget bring is convinced that this tactic will not be successful, they also condemned russia's attacks are today also in the embassies of great britain and france, and one more comment that i drew attention to is not an official person, but she is quite well-known and apple was given by a famous american writer, commenting on the attacks specifically on the civil infrastructure in vyshgorod, on the damage to resid

does the state department, you know, finally and a minute we analyze every word and every element of a conversation that is being had between the supreme lead and is people or certainly the state department and us officials should play close attention. i have never been impressed with the u. s. policy towards iran, which i think at times has shown more wishful thinking than realism. i think that the supreme leader is speaking. it makes an awful lot of sense. he's doing 2 things . one is speaking to the security services and lauding them for, for their efforts. and this is obviously very important for the regime. and 2nd, what he wants to do is prevent the spread of these demonstrations. as mentioned, i don't think they have been broad enough to really threaten the survival of the ruling establishment. and what is critical then is to contain them and over time shrink them and hopefully from the standpoint of the government, extinguish them. so to present a narrative that these demonstrations reflect outsiders and not patriotic iranians is a very sensible message for the government to

will tell about it in the united states, dmytro anopchenko, he is now in contact with the us state department decision? the first thing i want to say is that there are no disagreements regarding the fact that this plan is needed in principle, and at the same time there are disagreements precisely regarding the price. the oil price limit that the european union currently offers as a working version was much lower so that russia could not earn, receive excess profits and spend money on this war, because now they are proposing a limit of $65, a prohibitive russian oil is traded even taking into account the discount discount of $70 per barrel. well, look. thus , there is a version and, in principle, what you say a lot about it is that if such a level of 65 is introduced, then it will not have a great influence on the politics of moscow and on the russian economy. this is exactly the kind of influence i want to achieve here in the state department and the ministry of finance in the united states, where they actually came up with and initiated this plan to introduce a tina limit on russian oil, but

well, certain problems with some of the major european states, as a representative of the state departmentd . well, she did not name them exactly, but you and i also follow politics, we can imagine who these eurosceptics are, and according to her, these major european states think more restrained so far and they are considering the legal aspects. but again, as the representatives of the state department said, quote again, those negotiations are ongoing and will surely lead to progress, well, such a rather encouraging quote, such a rather linguistically business position . territory of ukraine to the court and in the ukrainian courts and in the international and in the international criminal court and in the courts of certain european states in certain courts of certain states. that is, to the point that in in principle, not everything is concentrated on this tribunal and it is possible to act in parallel, no one will wait for the moment until or when this tribunal is created, but what i heard now and what i want to share with you what is emerging right now, you know, this is the priority o
