and stephanie will be back in about half an hour to review the main stories being covered by the global media czech parliament is set to debate same—sex marriage, with a proposed amendment to change the civil code. if the bill eventually becomes law, the czech republic will become the first former eastern bloc to adopt gay marriage. slovenia recently introduced a similar law, but it was later overturned in a referendum. from the czech capital, rob cameron has this report. prague, a place were gay and lesbian people have felt safe all decades. is ill gdp the festival has been going for almost 20 years. certainly the czech republic is one of the most sexually liberal countries in europe, but unlike western europe, where same—sex marriage is now a legal reality almost everywhere, here the issue is still unresolved. well, i believe that the gay people in czech republic should get married. i believe that is their civil right. i am kind of critical about how it limits, reduces the debate about queer rights and discriminations, there are so many more issues than marriage. this man leading the campai

president ordered flags at half staff today, someone said on social media, we can probably just leave them at half staff at this point. nbc's stephanie gosk has our report tonight on this tragic sameness in our american life. >> reporter: the scenes look and feel so familiar. the police run in while terrified students, concert goers, regular people run out. >> he was shooting everybody, and there was dead people everywhere. >> i was hoping that we could get out and looking for all of our friends. >> reporter: this year alone, parkland, santa fe, pittsburgh, and now thousand oaks. and that just skims the surface. there have been 307 mass shootings with four or more people shot. 328 people killed, and the year is not over. many americans woke up this morning and had the same thought. oh, no, not again. because they knew what to expect. the phrases we use had become part of a grim lexicon. makeshift memorials, candle light individual ills, thoughts and prayers. for a moment we reflect on the victims. for their families, that moment lasts the rest of their lives. the challenge for the country is this. how do we not grow numb? some of the

for joins us now from west jerusalem so stephanie we're waiting to hear from lieberman what do we think he might be about to say the speculation in the israeli media is that the defense minister may hand in his resignation and this has to do with disagreement about the course of action in gaza particularly that cease fire it was a six hour security cabinet meeting yesterday as they discussed what to do the advice from all the heads of the security services in the army was that a war at this point in time simply was not the right option this is of course a decision that the prime minister is made but the office of the defense minister avigdor lieberman off to that said that he was in agreement with that so where does that leave his position as the defense minister this is an unscheduled a press conference that's been announced in about two hours from now he will be meeting with members of his party in the knesset in the parliament and then we are expecting to hear that press conference so the speculation certainly is that he will potentially resign but again we're going to have to wait and see what exactly he's going to be announcing do you think t

somebody on the team to tell the media about that to get the message across he's causing trouble for our democracy and apparently that's not the signal sent. i guess, stephanie, i'm not surprised given it's president trump but it's a sad day. >> then i'll note how does this tie into the robert mueller investigation or at least michael cohen yesterday admitting he lied to congress about president trump's business ties to russia? there are two countries where president trump's foreign policy and behavior seems strange and noteworthy. russia and saudi arabia. two countries where president trump has or at least attempted to have business ties with the trump organization or jared kushner and his family business. walk us through russia and president trump. right after we saw michael cohen in court yesterday the white house announces that they're canceling the meeting with president trump and vladimir putin. and they say -- they don't say it has nothing to do with the mueller investigation but all about russia, the treatment of ukraine, seizing those three ships and now suddenly today maybe a meeting is happening according to russia but it will be informal. if the

stephanie: it has been tradition you follow what the justice department ethics advisers tell you to do, which is what jeff sessions did. sessions did not do that immediately. it was through pressure from the mediang him out on meetings with russians he had not disclosed that led him to follow ethics rules. there are rules in place that would prevent overseeing an investigation if they have a publicly documented perceived bias. how that plays out remains to be seen. whitaker is there on a temporary basis. he is therefore 210 days until trump is able to get a new attorney general. tom: this is the heart of the matter. you and i became experts on the federal vacancy act last night. we were up until 2:00 a.m. reading a 60 page document. what damage can mr. whitaker do in 210 days? stephanie: i would say a lot but i think mueller would have anticipated this happening -- would have taken steps to protect the investigation as i would expect rod rosenstein would. the question is are there in die in's better -- indictments that are under seal now? has he kept them under seal waiting for this moment to happen? ability to curtail those is limited. tom: thank you. and now, with our first world news, taylor
