sullivan: correct.nd there's been about 695 metric tons of food that has come off the pier so far. about two thirds of that either has gone or is on its way to going to palestinian civilians. the issue is not actually getting food to the pier or off the poer. -- pier. it's being able to ensure that we have necessary security arrangements in place to deliver it. we have had modalities to get some of that aid distributed. we are in the process of building out to get more of it distributed. so, the answer to your initial question is, no, it's not a failure of planning. yes it is an indication this is a dynamic environment and we need to continue to refine. but aid is flowing. it is not flowing at the rate that any of us would be happy with, because we always want more. but we are actually seeing good cooperation between the u.s., the idf, the u.n., and other humanitarian organizations to ensure that aid goes from that pier to innocent people in need. and we'll continue to do that as we go forward. >> can i

on that, it is interesting that mr sullivan comes to israell that mr sullivan comes to israel after acrown prince and he and the saudis could be quite key with the arab world. absolutely, yes. saudi arabia key partnerfor absolutely, yes. saudi arabia key partner for the united states absolutely, yes. saudi arabia key partnerfor the united states in wider security matters and that was first and foremost the intention of this visit of this meeting in saudi arabia but we also understand that jake sullivan's been discussing the possibility of an arab coalition which the saudis would probably be the biggest and leading lenders. —— leading members. some sort of arab states alliance with other international organisations backed by the us and other european countries which could lead that future for gaza. benjamin netanyahu's not been join future for gaza. benjamin netanyahu's not beenjoin on future for gaza. benjamin netanyahu's not been join on a question. the anything that he said is that he was out working with the palestinian authority, which represents palestinians and governs the west

and he goes to jake sullivan's office is like, what's going on here? and immediately everything starts moving. they're like, okay, start setting up an economic channel, start setting up a assistance channel, start setting up a sanctions channels. let's see if we can talk to the russians in the ukraine and see what we can get zelensky on the phone also tell our allies what we know. and as they're collecting intelligence, they're able to basically get pretty granular about what they what knew. we also know now that they've released a lot of that intelligence, some of which was saying that, you know, they were building hospitals on the border. blood, like all that kind of stuff. now, the interesting is, you know, the us tells allies and most allies of the uk. so yep. on board we kind of have it too. we all agree the french and the germans took a lot of convincing but they were willing to have the conversations. it was the ukrainian conversations were so brutal because the lynskey was basically going like, okay, you know, afghanistan just happened you guys

i'll talk to jake sullivan as a. because of that, i won't ec to whether or not it meets any kind of requirements, but again, we've been clear about what we think is very, very important, and that is to make sure that the civilians that are in that battle space are moved out of the battle s any activity occurs in that city. weapns. gen. brown: our focus for to use the capabilities, tiply things th- typically things that impact close battles. we're paying attention on what's on in kharkiv. i won't publicly talk about what i might advise, but as we continue to support them, i'll continue to work with the secretary as we make recommendations going f but the key point is using the capabilities that we provided them in the close battles areas that they are doing on the fronts that they're operating as as into crimea. >> "washington post." reporter: nice to see you all. this question is for both of you regarding going back to the rafa operation and following up on the announcing plans as recently as todayex the rafah operat

general, share jake sullivan's optimism about a counteroffensive in '25?ell, jake sullivan, as a statesman, as a man who works in a state where the principles of constitutional duty are sacred, must clearly understand that, in addition to what he can endure for this year until the 25th year, the government must spend active work in four directions, active work, first of all, is the preparation of the population for the ability to defend itself. to the country with weapons in hand, this is the preparation of mobilization resources even before they cross, er, the gates of the territorial assembly center, the second is the transfer of the economy of ukraine to functioning under martial law, and the third is the fortification equipment of the territory of ukraine , and the fourth is the placement in certain important positions of people, professionals who understand... on issues of preparation and waging war in the state, well, now then in the complexes together with american help it will work and then we can raise the issue of an offensive, without these thin

figures, including from those who currently living in the united states, why they decided to make sullivanr, i don't know, i just think that part of them, especially there are people of a respectable age there, they are big supporters of the republican party, you know, i was also in the 70s, for example, i also liked republicans, in the late 70s, early 80s, i loved rygen very much then, for example, well, maybe that’s why they think that sullivan is like that, he’s anti-republican, they decided to make such a monster out of him, i ’ve never heard anything like that from him, just like in the american press, we won’t see in any analytical articles that sullivan, let's say, there is an adept there are good relations with russia, there is simply no such thing, it is exclusively... it is spread by russian oppositionists, in ukraine it is, i know that it is being picked up, and they insist on everyone saying that he is like that, once like that, i think that it is not so, in fact there are various discussions, in fact the decision is taken by the president, for example, from david sanger's arti

bingham took the first two frames of the session, before 0'sullivan fought back to move ahead at 4—3.he final frame of the session, to level the match ahead of wednesday's conclusion. 0'sullivan is looking to win the tournament for a record breaking eighth time. and the four—time championjohn higgins fought back from 4—0 down, to trail kyren wilson by five frames to three, after the opening session of their quarter—final, 13 is the target for a place in the semis. one of this year's favourites judd trump has a match on his hands — the 2019 champion is level at eight frames all with qualifier jakjones of wales. it's been a close contest, with trump edging ahead at 8—7 butjones made a century break in the final frame of the session to level the match going into wednesday's finale. and david gilbert is 10—6 up against stephen maguire. gilbert was 7—1 up at one stage, before maguire launched a fight back. a break of 7a in the final frame of tuesday's session gives the glaswegian hope. jofra archer has been recalled to the england squad for the first time in a year — for the defence of the

so you mentioned, you know, all of these advisers, including jake sullivan, tonyen, a lot of the people in that circle, they came up in kind of the same space. they wked for the obama administration. they worked together afterwards, the think tanks. there has been a lot of among some that you know that makes them a little bit insular andw that perhaps, you know, their worldview is a little bit elitist or not connected with the realities of what is going. for example, when they tried to do a reset with the russians, for example. so like that, i mean, that there is a certain kind of naivete attached to kind of foreign policy that they have practiced. and so i just wonder what you learned about how they were able to overcome that, if at all, and whether and■ how relationships with each other kind of have informed they've approached foreign policy. there's no question that groupthink plagues, the administration now, not always in bad ways. it's just they as you mentioned, they've known each other in past administrations. they live in general area together. they work together. they know each

the national security advisor take sullivan is meeting as we understand with the prime minister, but also with his counterparts and the national security here. you'll see he's meeting with mr. guns. so he is interesting the coming a now from a saudi arabia, and that has been a lot of talk in recent months about, you know, a security lines between a saudi arabia and u. s. and the us trying to get is well to create to some concessions a saying this could lead to normalization a between so yeah, so do you rate the end is well, but it seems also rather a fall off because then and it's and young would have to agree to something like a palestinian state would something he has rejected so far, but of course it comes at a very close the point that we are seeing on the ground defensive in most of expanding and that has been in recent weeks, a red line for the u. s. administration, so we expect them to hear from a jake sullivan on that as we are seeing, of course, about 800000 people. that's an estimate now from the united nations of being displaced once again, a dire situation, you many turn

so is sullivan's visit . now going to be to the israelis, what are you going to do next, or is the conversation going to be? this is what we want to see. this is what washington wants to see. are you going to comply? and i think to try and meet in the middle. so how do you think that conversation is going to go? well, i mean, i think the us here is in a sense, is trying to kind of protect israel from itself, right? it's trying to basically create a scenario in which clearly as the world looks on, as we've seen, kind of the mass of protest movements, but also the proceedings that the i c j is we've seen country after country also step up in terms of a increasing their condemnation for what's happening, that there's a sense that israel needs to be ruled back. not because the wes believes that this is necessarily the correct decision or a right thing to do, but really more so because it, it believes that this is only going to bring, you know, a kind of a political failing for israel going forward. and so the us,

jake sullivan meeting with benjamin netanyahu.irst and foremost, reiterating the us insistence that the military offensive around rafah remains restricted. the warning has been if israel steps up that military operations there, it will put even more palestinian lives at risk. we know already there are 800,000 palestinians who have fled that city in the last ten days or so, since israel's military moved in there. the consistent warning from there. the consistent warning from the us has been not to launch an all—out assault, that would put even more palestinians on the move and at risk. there are also calls for more aid to get into gaza, to feed palestinians in need of shelter and diplomatic aid. there are efforts going to try to pressure benjamin netanyahu into laying out some sort of plan as to what will happen next in gaza once the fighting is over. who will represent the palestinian people? who will coordinate the rebuilding of homes and infrastructure? who will represent them, speak for them infrastructure? who will represent t

plus national security adviser, jake sullivan, met with israeli prime minister netanyahu today. okay but has any progress been made for potential ceasefire and the release of more israeli hostages today at america's beverage companies are models might still look the same, but they can be remade in a whole new way thanks to you. >> were getting models back. >> and we've developed a way to make new ones from 100% recycled plastic new bottles made using no new plastic, you'll be seeing more of these bottles in more places. >> and when we get more of them back, we can use less new plastic. >> bottles are made to be remade there's not the better the subway series foot-long, except when you add on an all new foot-long psaki kick, we're talking about $2 foot long to a row, 3,000 foot-long pretzel kind of find footlong cookie. >> every effort foot-long, deserve a perfect sidekick water one once you a favor subway, see sub today i was stuck unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. >> i needed more for my antidepressant. ray. laura helped give it a lift adding velar to an antidepres

sullivan hopes, and we all hope with you, there will be a counteroffensive and victory, uh, mr. yaroslav, look, the minister for... , that ukraine has the right to strike at military facilities of the russian federation, located not only in temporarily occupied territories, well , hysteria literally began in the kremlin, and they now announced the conduct of exercises, in particular, with the use of tactical nuclear weapons, well, but we understand that in any unclear situation the enemy begins to threaten the use of nuclear weapons, and the key story is how seriously david cameron will be ready to support ukraine when we, so to speak, unseal several russian military facilities. i think that the russians took this situation very seriously. there are reports that this morning in russian. the ambassadors of great britain and france were invited . will be provided by the western side on the territory of the aggressor, and france is in favor of the fact that president macron is talking about the possible use, so far theoretically, although someone says that... there are already such

. >> secre austin, israeli defense minister briefed sullivan on rafah plans and an efforts.ccording to the readout, it's more detailed. have you seen the plans sullivan was briefed on and does it meet the requirement of what youo see in terms of what israel nee t before an operation in rafah. and ukraine tried to defend ense a new russian offensive in kharkiv. do you believe that theyul be able to use and target the forces across the border there. is that a recommendation you would make? >> thanks,ot seen the information that was briefed to mr. sullivan, but you know, as you know, i talk to minister every week and i would expect that he would detail the informfi to me as well. so, and i'll talk to jake an all soon as he's available, but because of that, i won't speculate as to whether or not it meets any kind of requirements, but again, you know, we've been clear about v important and that is to make the civilians in that battle space are out of the battle space before any activity occur cit so we'll see what happens. >> our folks in ukraine, using capabilities, particularly

, he says, well, he quotes jake's publication sullivan, he said that with washington's help again, kyiv will be able to hold its defense and ensure that ukraine survives. against the russian attack during the 24th year, indicating the scenario of the war next year, sullivan noted that ukraine intends to counteroffensive in the 25th year, well jakes. as a statesman, as a person who works in a state where the principles of fulfilling constitutional duties are sacred, he probably clearly understands that, in addition to what he can withstand for this year until the 25th year, the government must carry out active work in four directions , active work, first of all, this is the preparation of the population for the ability to defend itself in... the economy of ukraine to function in conditions of martial law, and the third is the fortification equipment of the territory of ukraine, and the fourth is the deployment on certain important positions of people, professionals who understand the issues of training. preparing and waging war in the country, well, if the complexes together with america

so tell us about the meetings today. >> well, the primary focus of sullivan is meeting with officialsisrael was to discuss the israel and hamas conflict. and we are told by white house officials that some of the subjects that they discussed was the humanitarian aid crisis in gaza. they also discuss the possible release of hostages and how those negotiations have stalled called and how they want to keep it ongoing. and we're also hearing that sullivan is trying to make a more concerted argument when he's meeting with officials and israel to talk about rafah and to really convince and make a strong argument to the officials in israel that they need to have a more concise and targeted approach when it comes to their military operations in rafah and how they want to go after he after hamas because they say that if they go in with not a more concise and more precise approach then it could lead to more innocent civilian lives being lost. now, victor, as you mentioned, sullivan is also just earlier today, met with officials and saudi arabia and we're being told that in that meeting they disc

because it's exactly you know, at sullivan will be advocating exactly what we see in here at johnston ending this evening. so he's coming from the out of the saudi capital. he's trying to still know the americans have not given up of the, on the grand plan of the security package between the americans and saudi arabia that will include normalization with israel and will bring of course security to the palestinians. and of course, a lot of money needed for the, you know, rebuilding of gaza. but for that they need is really partners and they're pushing these are the government for months now to to come in, guns is the 1st one of these really he goes to say yes, i would like to take part in that program and i'm encouraging that to now, to step in with me into the future, we will have to see how i can send a response to the med list that are sunny rest on it. thanks so much. you're welcome. all right, let's take a quick look now some of the other global headlines today. german chancellor of shelter has visited south west in germany where you'd be rightful. this triggered flooding of land

and the national security adviser from the united states, jake sullivan, is coming to israel today tos directly with benjamin netanyahu, to seek some answers, to seek some assurances about the safety of palestinian refugees and to get some extra aid into gaza. that's another priority, given the restrictions on aid flows over the last week or so, especially as military activities intensified around rafah. so benjamin netanyahu looking resolute. he's unwavering in his determination, his priorities, but he is facing growing criticism and more and more open challenges from people closer to him. this may not bring down the government, even if benny gantz leaves the coalition, but it leaves benjamin netanyahu increasingly isolated and potentially even more reliant on the extreme right wing voices in israeli politics. and dan, i also want to mention the fact that jake sullivan, president biden�*s national security adviser, has met with with saudi arabia's crown prince. could you tell us more about that meeting and those efforts by the us? yes. i think that is part of the us efforts to build

earlier, jake sullivan held talks with saudi arabia's crown prince in the in the saudi city of dhahranin the latest violence, at least 28 palestinians are reported to have been killed , most of them in a strike are reported to have been killed, most of them in a strike on a house in nuseirat in the central gaza strip. there are signs of splits in israel, benny gantz, a member of the war cabinet has threatened to withdraw his centrist party from the coalition unless prime minister benjamin netanyahu sets out a post—war plan for the gaza strip. it's part of an ongoing rift between the two. earlier i spoke to our correspondent danjohnson, who is injerusalem, about splits in the israeli government. they have been working together in coalition since the hamas attacks of the 7th of october. but that's been a fragile, delicate coalition that was perhaps always potentially in jeopardy and in the last week has dropped into open criticism of the prime minister. and it's notjust coming from benny gantz. earlier in the week, the defence minister, yoav galant, made similar comments, but a similar c

now national security advisor j sullivan was just in israel about 67 days ago. listen to what he had to say about what he, how he saw is really forces moving forward. we had detailed discussions on ross during my visit to israel. i explained to the prime minister and other senior israeli officials, the president's clear position. i reiterated that position. i was brief tobias, really, officials and bias really professionals on refinements that is really made to its plans to achieve its military objectives while taking account of civilian harm. what we have seen so far in terms of israel's military operations in that area has been more targeted and limited has not involve major military operations into the heart of dense urban areas. so the big question now is how is the by the ministration going to react when in fact they have to react to this? now we know years president joe biden is personal home in delaware. we thought he was leaving awhile ago, but he's still from what we can tell hasn't gotten a gotten on the road just yet. sometimes he'll have a chance to
