xi jinping is the only person who can make consequential decisions in that system, and ts by talkingying on sycophants and frightened officials fúranko gew as they are to make it difficult point to the boss. i'm a strong believer in aspect of advancing relatiohip with china, no question. i think we have to be a little bit more maybe i would say less naÏve about it, the idea that our sending five cabinet office administration did last year, that was some to coax china into a more cooperative relationship is historically ignorant and so-called fruits of this engagementch. and actually i think sent a signal of weakness to beijing. beijing has become more aggressive, difficult in the time since the biden administration begin its what it called intensive dipma xi jinpie president of the united beijing tripled down on its for russia's war reallyits begin last march, march of 23. by secretary blinken own admission china is becoming overwhelmingly the number one mitrione support of the war. and may haveed parts of the work and russia's favor through that support. beijin is also hosting to be

and i think xi jinping, i agree it's way bonnie laid it out.seems to be very optimistic in the long term infallibility of his belief china's dominance is inevitable. but these headwinds write anything we can do to increase headwinds and cause him to have doubts about whether this is the right timing would be something in the service of peace. rather than being provocative anything we can do to undermine the sources of chinese power right now would be a cause of her peace in my view. i will leave it at that. >> thank you all for joining us for this is a mentor very lively discussion. three excellent panelists who were most importantly they're tl three members.

on xi jinping.ught of xi jinping and he points out that he's played jinping by the example of gorbachev and the soviet communist, a party that opened up society and found that that society had no role, no for the communist party. and so what he is searching for is a way to keep tabs on all this, tamp down liberal ideas in case it's absolutely obvious he's. been ever since he gained power, he has talked about russia as the third rome, the place that is to preserve the the original pre enlightenment ideas of of faith and devotion and national. he gave a bizarre statement once explaining, you know, how the west was now becoming chaotic and liberalism was decaying and was defunct because, look at how they're treating j.k., because, you know, because of issues. but it's it's it's a very thought through. and, of course, the iranian mullahs live in fear of all western ideas. so i was struck down by the degree to which it's not just about hard power, it is about the desire to get, as it were, infected by al

good succ5 xi jinping and without saying■= what will follow so what would you like toee?ly have to raise the amount so whether it's 2.5 or three and right now i think it would be a lot. we to push, they are spendin a than 2%■x and they still failedo meet the two or 3% russia toldgt right now. that's one set of issues you seen, i think they take it pretty seriously and need to remain aligned on this understand clearly what i said the question is, how tough wl when the message is;c xi jinping? what is going to be the consequence for this behavior that's where a lot of our european all close relationships economically with the perform german auto is doing very well in china but a countries sell significantly to the p.r.c. market. and so that's where we need to make sure that we're really mese that this cannot continue. e it's not just that the build-up of russia's defense industry is being used to allow putin to ukraine. it's creating a base that will then decades threaten europeans from the ball tickets down to e n. you look at some of the novel systems that the rusks to th

there's an ideological element andut if you look to what xi jinping and the chinese government are it'sthe great rejuvenation china nation strong position for the chinese people. that's nothing to do with marxism. if anything is the antithesis ofcalnd so forth they affect in some ways i fear china might be bearing out linens the rate of imperialism. can go into means is what we have to be realistic about what we expect detente is not satisfied is not a final solution tom that i don't think that's really together think it's far too dangerous to pursuit because as is that the chinese have heard some of the arguments about victory and regime change picky mention foreign affairs and dan who i agree is fantastnd published the peace by bob kaplan and the back in 2020 making thergumtin it is too dangerous. it's not critical for americanw if you go back to george kennan, george was saying, they were saying we need to prevent a potentily hostile state from patrolling what are the key and ashanti regions of the world. whether that is coming, i loath communism. i hope the chinese people become fre

xi jinping stopped and said ask had him to repeat what he said. he repeated it.e beginning of the relationship between president trump and xi jinping, this unknown of i go to dinner at mar-a-lago and find out he struck 13 strikes to syria and that was why it was such an unknown. he kept china contained. by the way, there was an ndaa recently, the national defense authorization act, in that act the biden administration got in that they were banning new business for several chinese companies including huawei, hitera, a couple others, because they're doing surveillance on america. so they banned new business from these companies. what didn't they do? they didn't rip out the networking that's already immersed throughout our economy that we've got surveillance going on as we speak. chinese cameras everywhere across america. so he didn't really do much and that's why a lot of people question are why he canceled te china initiative, that was trump's initiative and people question whether or not he accepted money from china. the next question is what does the guilty verd

putin calls ukraine's capitulation plan a peace proposal, while xi jinping is looking for his own way to resolve the crisis. where will these paths lead the dictators? there will be answers. conclusions: zelensky promises government officials a serious conversation about the situation in donetsk region, should we expect further personnel rotations in the government? well, now i will join our guests, i will just say two words, since we are still talking about what happened, the national team of ukraine is returning, well, not home, because most of the players will go to rest somewhere outside of ukraine. euro ended for the national team of ukraine 0:0 with belgium, and of course, a draw was expected. romania and slovakia played, and actually we are returning with four points, well as they say, we are leaving germany, but not about that. poll now: do you have alternative sources of electricity for your property, that's the question, if so, 0800 211381, if not, 080021382. please take our survey, we're interested to find out. to what extent ukrainians are preparing, are they already ready

we understand well that china. in the person of xi jinping has certain plans on the table, which lie,wan, well, it is called, it is difficult to call it an occupation, regarding the military solution of the taiwan issue, they have their own way of calling it, but then what do they do the united states of america, it depends on the extent to which they will be ready to fulfill their obligations that they have towards taiwan, but they have these obligations and politics. strategic ambiguity there is also, the people's republic of china does not know what the united states will do, that is, in theory, they can similarly strike at china's military bases, they can, they can strike at those military bases from where taiwan will be struck, they can lead their fleet and sink navy of the people's republic of china, can help the taiwanese on the island itself, but again i don't think that will happen for the simple reason that an attack on taiwan could become... the economy of the prc, and xi jinping is not an idiot either, he is great you understand, you understand, between taiwan and china, w

so i think xi jinping is attack.gs and thinking, okay, well, the situation is not that bad. and maybe by continuing, a process of attrition, carrot and stick, but mainly stick, we might still be able to pull this off peacefully. i think personally , peacefully. i think personally, he is overestimating his ability to do that, but for the moment, i think that is the dominant concern. i mean, it's certainly the case that she does not want a full blown war, involving the united states. and, it's allies. i mean, the united states as as as our other speaker has mentioned, maintained a strategy of strategic ambiguity in relation to taiwan, not saying it would or would not intervene in the event of an attack. but biden is, in the last year, four times said that the us would. so i think we have to take that. and the other thing is, in reference to the semiconductor issue, if china were to take those , taiwan and take control those, taiwan and take control of those , foundries, nobody of those, foundries, nobody would have to

and steps on his part with xi jinping, because without xi jinping these issues cannot be resolved, thatabsolutely certain, and does putin need to have this unpredictable, what we call kim chin-in, as a nuclear club that will threaten the whole world from region, on the korean peninsula, and can be completely uncontrolled, here it is there is a big... doubt that putin will go for it, because giving someone nuclear and missile technologies means taking all these processes out of one's control, it is not beneficial for moscow, that is absolutely certain, it is necessary to control and give dosed, whether it will work then kimchi on the eye of the possible things that you just talked about now, which is to be under the guise of, let's say, the workforce. tourists in certain so-called formations to go to the territory of the russian federation and then be used in hostilities, but who will command them? it's the same, the northern one, it's the same korean, which no one knows in the former soviet union, and russian , which no one knows in north korea, how it will interact, i just can't imagin

, well , he clearly could not coordinate a visit to vietnam with xi jinping, the chinese are there. obviously, he cannot be satisfied with such a trip, because he still wants to sell his weapons to vietnam. well, i think the story of '79 has already, as they say, sunk into the past, and it is clear that vietnam is to some extent such an economic, economic partner of the united states of america, and a large number of enterprises that used to work in china. moves to vietnam moves to india, and the trade turnover of 100 billion between the united states of america and vietnam and everything else, that is, he has money, at least vietnam. what else can putin offer to vietnam besides weapons, there is nothing, well, considering that vietnam is actually armed with soviet weapons, so this segment of weapons, he can really offer him, but this story, well.. . will at least have a long time, that is, it is not known whether this agreement will eventually work or not, since vietnam is also looking closely at the quality of russian weapons and its real use on the battlefield. well, by the way,

about vladimir putin's recent meeting with xi jinping and the future of relations between beijing and moscow. later in the interview. putin recently visited china and we saw another strengthening of at least the russian-chinese partnership, how strong do you think this partnership is and what is its future? putin and jin ping, it seems decided that they have something in common, it is not acceptance of a democratic world, democratic concepts and ideals of freedom, justice, the rule of law and from. coverts, and china intends to unite with russia to fight against all this. that being said, i don't think china is interested in a major and destabilizing conflict, at least not now. i also don't think they are happy with russia's war against ukraine. i believe that she became a surprise for them. china has many business interests in ukraine, and there were many chinese students studying there who were not aware of the impending invasion. i also believe that china has been on high alert all along, fearing that this war will escalate into poison. a conflict that beijing is very clear about i

, well, he clearly could not coordinate a visit to vietnam with xi jinping, the chinese there obviously cannot be satisfied with such a trip, because he still wants to sell his weapons to vietnam? well, i think that the history of 79 has already, as they say, sunk into the past, and it is clear that vietnam is to some extent such an economic economy. partner the united states of america, and a large number of enterprises that previously worked in china, move to vietnam, move to india, and trade turnover of 100 billion between the united states of america and vietnam and everything else, that is , he has money, at least vietnam. what else can putin offer to vietnam besides weapons? nothing, well, given that vietnam is actually armed with soviet weapons, so it can really offer it this... weapons, but this story, well, at least it will have a long time, that is, it is not known whether in the end this agreement will work or no, as vietnam looks just as closely at the quality of russian weapons and their actual use on the battlefield. well, by the way, this applies to north korean weapons,

i think xi jinping believes he needs a win some place because things are going so badly at a home.led the world's most dangerous delusion, biden thinks china was wants stability, you write this, americans may think they're at peace with china but china's ruling organization announced otherwise, most fundamentally in may of 2019, the people's daily, carried a landmark editorial declaring a people's war on america. tell us more. >> we're americans so we don't think this is important because we say that's propaganda but the communist party believes that a people's war is significant. they call it total war. and we're seeing this. we're seeing china poison 75,000 americans with fentanyl. they're stealing hundreds of billions of dollars of u.s. intellectual property each year, probably a half trillion dollars. we see them fomenting violence on our streets and when the biden administration says china wants stability that's absolutely wrong. what they are doing is they're acting as china's public relations effort and it's run out of the oval office and americans should be outraged. maria:

united states if president putin wins in the united states, it will send a message to them and xi jinpingabout ukraine but sending a message to xijinping if ukraine but sending a message to xi jinping if you use force against taiwan or in any way in asia—pacific. so therefore it is in the interest of the us to see victory prevails. european allies are watching what the us is doing, it is not the us doing this alone, european allies are providing as much material support to the ukraine as united states. the material support to the ukraine as united states.— as united states. the head of nato speaking _ as united states. the head of nato speaking to _ as united states. the head of nato speaking to the - as united states. the head of nato speaking to the bbc- as united states. the head of nato speaking to the bbc on | nato speaking to the bbc on monday. on monday, israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, disbanded his war cabinet. it came just over a week after the former general benny gantz, who was a centrist, quit. decisions about the war with hamas in gaza will now be made with a pre

his role here, we understand that xi jinping has a huge influence on kim ching-in, if xi jinping hast position, let's say, then it is hard for me to imagine that kim ching-in will go to such a huge escalation, unless it is tacit agree, you know, it's hard to say, i think that xizhenping despises him. again, in beijing , the leaders of north korea have always been very cautious, well , kimersen was a more serious figure for them, because he was a person who came to power at the same time. but you understand, chinese leaders, they are ideological people, well , realistically, well, of course, sijimping too, the son of a party worker there, but he is absolutely sure that he has made his own party career, well, he is just well educated, well brought up, like and belongs to the real one nomenklaturnik, they generally have this generation of princes there, but they imagine the idea of ​​party rule in china as a family one, that the mautzadun there transfers his power to his son. or densiopin, they all have children, and they themselves are someone’s children, well, that doesn’t happen, the

arabia, which is also on good terms. and with the president of the people's republic of china , xi jinping of the russian federation, vladimir putin, despite all, i would say, important strategic relations between saudi arabia and the united states. prince mohammed, especially after this famous story with the murder of the journalist khashoggi right in the saudi embassy in turkey, a member of their club, a person who sincerely wishes them the best. and it turns out that before this visit of zelenskyi, they appear reports that saudi arabia is not going to participate in the forum in switzerland because there will not be a representative of russia, as it were. and here is the question again. and what the hell then, saudi arabia held such a summit with the participation of representatives of the western countries of ukraine of the global south without the participation of russia, somehow it did not invite anyone from russia to this meeting, and i can explain why, because saudi arabia is not interested in russia, it is interests china, the decision that saudi arabia is likely to refrain from p

we well understand that china, in the person of xi jinping, has certain plans on the table, which lie at least in them, regarding the occupation of taiwan, well, it is called, it is difficult to call it an occupation, regarding the military solution of the taiwan issue. in they call it in their own way, but what the united states of america does then depends on that. to what extent they will be ready to fulfill their obligations that they have regarding taiwan, but they have these obligations, and there is also a policy of strategic ambiguity. the people's republic of cathay does not know. what will the united states do, that is, in theory, they can similarly strike at the military bases of china, they can strike at those military bases from where they will strike at taiwan, they can introduce their fleet and sinking the fleet of the people's republic of china may help the taiwanese on the island itself, but again i don't think it will happen for the simple reason that an attack on taiwan could cause the collapse of the prc economy, and sidzheng ping is not an idiot either, he underst

if vladimir putin wins in ukraine because that will send a message to him, but also to president xi jinpinganother country, they can get what they want. so this is not only about ukraine, this is also about sending a message to president xijinping also about sending a message to president xi jinping that he shouldn't use military force against taiwan or in any way in asia pacific. so it is in the us security interest to ensure that ukraine prevails. you have to understand that key allies are matching what the us is doing. it isn't the us doing this alone. european allies are providing as much support to ukraine as united states. around the world across the uk, this is bbc news. this look at some of the news making headlines in the uk. sarina kilham has been taken to after falling off stage in london's west end. the he is in good spirits and is excited to make a speedy and full recovery. the 85—year—old was taking part in a fight scene in player kings, an adaptation of shakespeare's king henry iv parts one and two. there's a recall for big and chicken and bacon wraps for e. coli. that ten—mo

countries after the two governments finally, somewhat stabilized their fragile relationship. >> xi jinping, wow, in san francisco november personally said, china was ready to host 50,000 young americans in the coming five years for study and exchange programs. >> just last year, she i just last week actually, excuse me, xi jinping wrote a letter to a new jersey, new jersey college stressing the importance of this kind of exchanges. so if this incident somehow ends up dampening america two kinds interest and enthusiasm in coming back to china, i think that we consider, considered quite a major setback for the chinese leader john kth, china, china wants you as students there and us money there. >> and this is the video we're looking at right now. you can see the victims clearly are on the ground. this video again has been centered on chinese social media. one suspect now in custody, steve. thank you so much for that update. keep us posted on new developments. >> also, do this morning, a scathing public statement by attorney general merrick garland just published in the washington post to gar

if you look at what president xi jinping is doing to china and more particularly, regions like tibetn hong kong, it does not look likely that we can have too much expectations out of this. the first thing would be to reestablish contact, but in the last one and a half years, we have not been able to do that. so it is still stuck based on some of their thinking and how we perceive our base. there is nothing concrete to talk about. we do not have expectations if you look at what xi jinping is doing, but if you ask me, when you don't have expectations, we cannot think only short-term. we have to think long term. we traveled around the world to speak with governments, and they assure us there are a lot of discussions going on, but not so much visible right now because of decoupling. eventually, it should take shape, and as we travel around the world, no more people want to understand china for what it is, and we have lived with china for centuries as neighbors. we know china respects only strength, not weakness, so we ask people, other countries to stand up for their values of freedom an

from the chinese point of view, xi jinping thinks he is bringing china back to the natural place, theestoration, the natural place at the center of the world. if we were chinese we would feel sympathetic to that. the good news i would say is both biden and xi as they have discussed in conversations understand war between their countries would be devastating for both so neither biden nor xi wants war and they understand they could get themselves into a war not because they want one, but because of misunderstandings and provocation from a third party. they do not want that to happen. so they have talked about that and you can see evidence of it in the behaviors. taiwan to be very dangerous for both. so there private candid conversations about the most delicate issues is exactly what we would like and we are trying to manage a difficult situation in which we are seriously competitive and survival for both depends on not getting into a war. ai will also be an interesting area. on one hand it becomes part of the rivalry or if they are able to constrain [inaudible] >> climate is one area wh

and i don't think we fully recognize how project this has been on the part primarily of xi jinping butso of president putin. since coming to power they have met over 50 times, hundreds and hundreds hours enormous numbers ofyou can find in both of their systemsvalent about the other but i don't impact on a dramatic alignment strategic alignment between the two that is driven at the leader level. we know a little bit about the nature of some of those discussions how they are prepared. if you a look at the statement it's remarkable.=iit combines elements of the 1950s ideology and 1930s territory of int's quite daunting and it's breath and ambition.@ in their private deliberations at the top levels of leaders and people around them take an enormous amount of time to fo on how and whether the united states is a them. they are very attentive to any effort to try to create tension between the two countries and they see it when we try toemploy it and they tried to steel themselves to i think ultimately my own view fred is this is a partnership that has enormous. maybe not now. it's definitely

what is going on is xi jinping sunday the many army then yeah the california governor gavin newsom postedclaiming that his tally the number of national guard members that his state sent to the border in his leg with the lack of resources for border patrol on republicans, watch this. >> the republican party has been consistently stated in the way it provided the resources and the support for the minimum and working hard not only at the border but throughout the state of california and the country to address issues related to the border it's time to stop playing politics and the speaker of the house mike johnson to stop playing politics and do the right thing. maria: what is he saying this he think anyone believes that we think the republicans have a wide open border. then we heard from fox news bill melugin he fact check the governor, he wrote this i have not seen one not a single one of the california national guard soldiers anywhere border patrol is so overwhelmed with the migrants wander around aimlessly on highways and then they call a lift or an uber and they just wait to be picked up

thriving, many of the foreign companies are worried about the business climate under president xi jinpingyou track china from the death of mao to the opening of china to the world, we've seen a closing of sorts. we've seen a centralization of power of the party. we've seen increased repression of the people of china here. that's very significant trend just over the last decade. >> with xi? >> under his leadership. >> reporter: part of that trend includes president xi's reversing many of the market reforms that unleashed china's economic miracle. >> they've been growing over 40 years, the fastest growth rate recorded in economic history, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11% growth rates. they've lifted 800 million people out of poverty. but what's happening is that growth rate is slowing down. most economists are now projecting there will be 2%, 3%, 4% growth, maybe even lower, in the next decade. >> can they support their society if it's that low? >> that's going to be difficult for them. >> if there was so much explosive growth, if so many people were lifted out of poverty, why is he turning away from what

. >> absolutely right xi jinping has no answers to china's economic problems other than to export hisallow china to continue to decimate local industries, that's not going to happen as paul krugman said a few weeks ago. what we got is a conflict between china and the united states and china and the eu and the global south pushing back as well. that means china is desperate and going to do something. i think xi jinping is in a closing window of opportunity to accomplish his ambitions because he has no answers for the economy except invade a neighbor. maria: right now is getting help from america indirectly or forcing americans to do indirect support, look at what they're doing in terms of trying to recruit former fighter pilots from america in the west in general to work in chinese air combat. >> the distressing thing because of our education system we've taught a whole generation of americans to hate our country and that's why they feel it is acceptable to go work for china we need clear direction from the president of the united states that china is more than a competitor and indeed

we heard kirk campbell in the last couple days actually say the united states may do that but xi jinping do anything that is meant to have an effect so the chinese just sort of ignore us. they believe our warnings are hollow. cheryl: i aagree with you on that. i want to ask about something else that's been going on. we've seen an h escalation of tension between north and south korea. china has really been whether through the crypto markets or of other means has been the financial lifeline for kim jong un. now you've got an escalation with the balloons flying into south korea, now the south koreans are threatening to hit kim jong un with blaring sirens. but we had kind of kim jong un under president trump he seemed contained. now he seems to be going rogue again. what do you mick of what's happening over -- make of what's happening over there and should we be concerned about it? >> i think we should be concerned for a couple reasons, cheryl and that is that the agricultural problems in north korea and the economic problems seem to be more severe than they have been in a very long time. i

what we're seeing is xi jinping trying to make china more self-sufficient. see chinese citizens attack american as you've seen a couple weeks ago. china is moving in a direction which is extremely dangerous. you know, they need microsoft right now as you point out. but the point is that they are trying to develop alternatives to microsoft so they can get rid of them, just as they've gotten rid of other foreign companies they no longer needed after the self-sufficient sigh drives. -- self-sufficientcy drives. cheryl: they copy the technology and do it themselves. this is going on for decades. it's not that the ceos walk around and think because of politics and stolen it, we should rethink our position in china. only the bravest ceos will make that decision. the rest of them, i might have to add microsoft to that, seem to not follow that thinking, keeping it save. it's great talk to you about this. >> thank you so much, cheryl. cheryl: coming up, money talks. why gen z is having more positive thoughts about their financial future, we're talking about it coming

is this xi jinping's plan, to have boots on the ground in america should things turn more hostile?states have taken legislative action within their states to stop this land grab from taking place by china, and chairman mole far of the china select committee and other members of the committee are proposing federal leg to stop this from happening. -- legislation to stop this from happening. and that which already has happened is a security issue, to take it back. because it is a national security issue. so ihink that we're moving in the right direction. i think we've got caught surprised by it, but now we're tuned into it and taking appropriate action. the good news here overall a, maria, is the american people and the congress are very much aware that china is the united states' number one threat. maria: yeah. >> and, clearly, there's true consensus on that issue. maria: but they don't say that, right? every time you hear president biden talk about china, he calls china a competitor. he has not called china an adversary. >> well, china is definitely an adversary, no doubt about it.

do you think xi jinping is going to take that lightly or does he not care? china wants to support russia in the war in ukraine. the more the north koreans do that, the more we talk about it, the less we talk about chinese support for the russian war effort. also, we know that kim jong un doesn't do anything major without the approval of china. so i think that this is something that beijing certainly does not dislike as a lot of people have said. there's always a lot of commentary that says oh, you know, the chinese and north koreans don't get along. that's true, the north koreans actually hate the chinese. that border between korea and china has changed hundreds of miles in each direction over the course of centuries because of consistent quest. but right now -- conquest. but right now north korea needs china because its economy is worse than bay jinks. clearly the -- beijing's. clearly the north koreans, i don't think the commentary we're seeing in the u.s. actually accurate. cheryl: look, the treasury department issuin issuing drafts which requires notific

in november, xi jinping will be there to cut the ribbon on a sea boater to compete with our west coastts. they're planning to build a major railroad. >> reporter: the biden administration officials have been warning about china, using this megaport potentially to plant its military, something they've done at other foreign ports. back in may, lawmakers said the u.s. government should have seen this threat coming from a mile away. >> in 202013, xi jinping announced the initiative to connect the peoples republic of china to the rest of the world through infrastructure. it fits squarely within military ambitions, as many bri projects, especially deep water ports are tailored for military use. >> reporter: so the megaport will be 60 feet deep once completed. it's going to allow china to entirely bypass using other large commercial ports here in the u.s. and also mexico. sandra? >> sandra: jillian turner live at the state department on that. thank you. bret? >> bret: okay, sandra, this is breaking right now. this is a story out of bloomberg, about a case outside of idaho, being considered by

. >> president joe biden: i was on the phone with two straight hours with xi jinping.en promise -- already understand that the -- you want to have global -- not the dollar. dumont do not answer questions from the covid virus. they want things their way. and trump did a really excellent job at dealing with xi jinping in person, by letter, by phone and getting results. he actually had negotiations, talks, written agreements, biden has done none of that. so and elevate i would be surprised if there -- cnn tried to conceal all of this and doesn't ask both men what is your china policy and especially with biden why is china so angry towards you that they're having military maneuvers -- to antagonize china? would be a question i would ask. >> martha: absolutely. a hope we hear it, i hope they asked defining questions this issue. is clearly the biggest threat that we'll -- and expands a lot about it over the next four years in this country to be sure as i thought you laid out for years. michael pills very, thank you very much. that the happy with us. >> thank you. >> martha:

he says during a meeting that he has been getting complaints lately from sheet -- xi jinping.s abiy title because he was speaking so softly. >> the last discussion with xi jinping,... >> president biden has not acknowledge a large pro- palestine protest of the white house saturday that went all the way around campus and start -- and studies keeping the talk about the war in gaza focus on the rescued hostages. >> i want to echo his comments welcoming the rescue for hostages that were returned to their families in israel. they won't stop working to all -- to all the hostages come home and a cease-fire is reached and that is essential to happen. >> for attending this week's g-7 in italy which is a very short flight from here, president biden is actually going to fly home to delaware for a couple days which means he will be home if there is a verdict in his sun's trial by midweek. shannon? >> we will talk pretty much more about this thank you very pretty much from paris. people are celebrating the return of those for rescued half -- hostages. >> good morning, almost 250 days into
