Mesothelial not well send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and well come to you 808 to one 4,000 you are in the cnn newsroom. Im Alex Marquardt in washington. Thank you so much for joining morning us today. We begin with a developing story on capitol hill. The senate says, it will take up the 95 of foreign aid package on tuesday day. That was just passed by House Lawmakers just hours ago and a special session on this saturday package includes billions and military aid for ukraine, israel, and taiwan as well as billions for humanitarian aid. We have reporters covering reaction from washington to ukraine and jerusalem. Lets start with cnns Lauren Fox Live On capitol hill. So lauren, how did this get pushed through . And what does it mean for Speaker Johnsons job . Yeah. There are a lot of questions about what this means for Speaker Johnsons future after this vote today, despite the overwhelming bipartisan support for this series of sap elemental bills, what you saw from conservatives was frustration, a sense that they had been let down by the speaker. Now the question remains, if Marjorie Taylor greene, who has been leading this effort to try to oust the speaker if she will, to take action when they returned from their week recess, she would not say what her definitive plans were. We had been waiting to see whether notched you would try to force a vote to oust the speaker, or at least begin that process today that didnt happen in the House Of Representatives. Meanwhile, you have some conservatives who are expressing frustration and concern with the speaker, but also laying out that they dont think this is the moment to have a fight over the gavel arguing that put, put republicans in peril as they face reelection in november on the side of defense hawks, however, you had a lot of celebration for Speaker Johnson today the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Mike mccall, walking through the process of how this came to be saying that he really watched the speaker evolve on this issue over the course of the last several months when you become the Speaker Of The House you take on new responsibilitie s. You also get new classified briefings that you did not get as a rankandfile member . He said that he really watched johnson come into his own realize what was at stake, realized what was at stake, not dressed for global security, but for security here in the and he said that he was really applauding the speaker steps, knowing that this could have an impact on the speakers own future. Alex and lauren, what can we expect in the Senate Next Week yeah, so majority leader Chuck Schumer announcing about an hourandahalf ago that the plan is that they will begin key procedural votes on tuesday and the United States senate now, remember this package passed before in a very similar fashion, there had been some changes to what the house did, including a 10 forgivable loan for ukraine that is not an issue among democrats who saw that in the house, in part because the administration the president s specifically can forget that loan in just a matter of years but there are some differences. So the senate has to pass this through their own chamber. They are coming back next week, despite the fact they were supposed to have a scheduled recess because they do find this to be so imperative so important in this moment, alex. All right. Lauren fox up on capitol hill for us on this very big day. Thank you very much, lauren. Lets get reaction from jerusalem and ukraine. Cnn Senior International correspondent Fred Pleitgen is in kyiv, ukrainian capital, and our senior diplomatic editor, Nic Robertson is joining us from jerusalem. Fred, first to you. This aid has been longdelayed by the house has passed by the senate back in february. Now, youve got these thanks pouring in from ukrainian officials, including president zelenskyy. I know youve been speaking with ukrainian officials. Youve talked about the relief. But is there any concern there about how late this is coming . Well, i think theres certainly a lot of concern about how late this is coming. And certainly one of the things alex, that the ukrainians have been saying at this process was going on. I can tell you, ive been ive been reporting on the delays in this aid package since september of last year when the ukrainians already back then were saying that the amount of Artillery Shells Goals that they had was starting to run low and things were beginning to get very difficult for them. So certainly they have been saying for months now that any delays and us aid for the ukrainians are measured in ukrainian lives and certainly if you look at the way some of them and things have gotten going on the battlefield for the ukrainians, especially in the last couple of weeks, but also in the last couple of months. To an extent you do see that right now, the initiative is very much on the Russian Sayyed, the russians are pressuring the ukrainians on many of the front lines. They havent achieved any strategic successes yet the russians, they havent really broken through any major front lines. They havent been able to put pressure on any of the Capital Cities of some of the regions here in this country. But certainly right now you do feel that the initiative is on the Russian Sayyed the ukrainians hours have been saying that the fact that they dont have enough ammunition, the fact that they dont have enough weapons is certainly been something thats been holding them back and especially over the past, i would say about two, three weeks since the russians have started a major ariel canada and pain against a lot of the Energy Infrastructure here in this country. Thats when the ukrainians were saying they simply dont have enough air defense missiles. And so you had the president of this country, Volodymyr Zelenskyy come out really seconds after the age package, who was approved, thanking Speaker Johnson personally, but the us and the House Of Representatives in general, and saying that air defense this, those are important that this once again shows the us is leadership. As far as defending democracy in the world was concerned, but definitely the ukrainians also saying that this has already done a lot of damage to them on the battlefield. We were also speaking to some Frontline Troops actually, who are currently fighting on the southern on the east during the front lines in both of them have said that this has had a major psychological effect. How this aid come through now, or at least going to pass through the House Of Representatives saying that it really is something that lifted morale tonight and morale has certainly been very difficult for the ukrainians as the russians have also managed alex to bring a lot more very heavy firepower to bear on the front lines. They become a lot more effective at using their air force and using some pretty heavy bombs that theyre dropping on the frontline positions, making life very difficult for the ukrainians. Alex yeah, fred, you and i both been in cities across the country with those russian missiles raining down. It is clear that the ukrainians desperately need those air Defense Systems in addition to more artillery for this Frontline Troops. Nic robertson, i wanna go to you. Theres this 26 now, there has been passed for israel and gaza. We should note that not all of this goes to israels military 17 billion of that 26. But what is the reaction there in jerusalem . Yeah, very quick and swift reaction. The president of israel, isaac herzog, saying that this shows that israel has no stronger ally than the United States from the Prime Minister. And interesting message saying that this shows bipartisan support for israel. Of course, thats an important domestic matters sh for him to make as well as thanking the United States because many people would perceive the Prime Minister here because of the way that is fighting the war in gaza so many palestinians killed more than 34,000 now, and that is felt, that is alienating some of the democrats within the United States. And therefore his comments bipartisan support, heard it from other israeli officials as well. But when the Prime Minister characterizes it like that, it has a message and a resonance here. The Defense Minister Pointing out that israel is facing seven different enemies. He said this shows is a bill being voted through shows this there is strong United States stands strong with israel, the Foreign Minister talking about strong ties, Strategic Partnership between the two countries. But comments made by the speaker of the knesset, i thought were particularly telling because he said this, he said this shows all of is israels enemies the strength of support and the relationship between the United States and israel. And why is that important at the moment to say, well, theres a perception here that iran decided that it could strike at israel in a way directly, 350 missiles just a week ago. Now, in a way that had never done before for because the, the sense here was that iran perceived that israel support from the United States Prime Minister netanyahus support from President Biden wasnt a strong as it once was that was Point Oweakness and iran thought that they could exploit that. So the speaker of the knesset being very clear so besides having the weapons to continue to defend and attack enemies as well, and as Welas The Money Ming in for humatarian aid as on top of the Defense Money this really is signaling that strengthen i think part of that is whats vital to israel, vital to the Prime Minister to say that he isnt the one thats broken. This unshakeable bond with the United States all right, praise for the us from both israel and from ukraine. Fred pleitgen and kyiv Nic Robertson, jerusalem. Thank you both very much joining us now is aaron davidai miller. He is a former state Department Middle east negotiator and a critical voice and understand ending what is going on. And israel and the Palestinian Territories and beyond aaron, thank you so much for joining us. I want to start what in practical terms, does this mean for ukraine . For israel, for humanitarian endeavors in gaza and elsewhere . Now that these billions have been approved by the house, are expected to in the senate the next week well, i mean, i think it cuts to the core. Alex, and thanks for having me. The question of American Leadership in the world with the dysfunctional politics. Basically argue culture with pernicious polarization i think this was a reminder however, tebor very brief, it may be that in fact the United States can lead and it can support its allies for the ukrainians, i think its absolutely critical. They, theyre short of men. Theyre air defense. Theres sort of Artillery Munitions and this will at least give them the capacity through most of 2024 to hold their own with the anticipation, perhaps in 2025 is launching the renewed offensive against, against the russians to acquire, to take back some ukrainian territory for the israelis. I think nucleated out pretty well. I mean, i think there was a perception clearly understandably given the netanyahu governments behavior, both with respect to the judicial overhaul, the pursuit, of settlement policies and the west bank, there were annexation is name only and the difficulties and they divisions between the Biden Administration and netanya over gaza that in effect, the United States ports for his role was waning. I dont know frankly where this is going to deal all the breaches that exist now between the netanyahu government and the Biden Administration. But demonstrates still a degree of bipartisanship, even with a lot of progressive and even mainstream democrats objecting on to condition us Military Assistance that theres still a very strong current of across the il4 for the state of israel aaron, we saw iran Attack Israel last weekend with more than 300 missiles and drones. How do you think that changes the conversation if at all about the question of Conditioning Aid for israel and whats your sense of the Biden Administrations thinking on that . Right now may alex gonna be a key tests when the Secretary Of State has to certify under National Security memorandum, i think its 20 whether or not be sure onces the state originals provided on whether or not theyre facilitating humanitarian assistance i have to certify whether those assurances are credible and reliable, whether they are or arent. And i think youve seen an increase in humanitarian assistance. I think its almost done imaginable under these circumstances, the array, the iranians are have undercut. I think any sense, on the part of of capitol hill in large numbers that the administration is going to end up conditioning or restricting Military Assistance because the iranian, israeli strategic competition is hardly over, right . It really poses the question, what impact has these reciprocal strikes had them both israeli into ronnie and strategy and what is your sense of that . Do you think that iran will now respond to what was frankly a very small attack by israel on, on thursday night, friday morning coming after this massive strike by iran last weekend, do you think that there will be a backandforth . Are they going to slip back into the data war that weve been seeing for years. No, i dont see any imminent confrontation, but i am worried about the fact that a new normal has been established its a paradox. The fact is that this did not these reciprocal attacks on one anothers territory do not escalate in a perverse way that might tell each side that they can do this again thats number one. And number two, i think the iranians are terrifyingly aware of israels technical mastery. Theyre going to have to figure out when it compensate for the vulnerability, either by moving precision guided missions closer to israel, relying on his velum if tensions arise because theres no proximity, theres no proximity problem. Theyre smaller, can do an enormous amount of damaged israel. And finally, im concerned, as is everyone i think about the prospects of the Iranian Nuclear program being ramped up. I posed the question with the israelis have struck if in fact youre had a deliverable Nuclear Device and i think i can answer that question, but i think its going to become extremely relevant as we move forward yeah, one of the Big Questions we were asking was whether israel was going after a Nuclear Program and its facilities on friday morning morning and they did not in the end, aaron david miller. Thank you very much.

Tomorrow at nine Opening Statements in the historic first criminal trial of a former president are set to begin on monday new york, donald trump Will Returned To A Manhattan courtroom as prosecutors present their arguments in the new york hush money case. But before they begin, trump is hitting the Campaign Trail, Holding Events in North Carolina later today. After a dramatic final day of Jury Selection. Heres cnns kara Kara Scannell with this report we have our full panel. That announcement from judge juan merchan after Jury Selection concluded, 18 manhattan nights, 12 jurors and six alternates. Now seated im sitting in a corner so this is going on for the week. And this will go on for another four or five weeks and its very unfair trump appeared board much of The Trial De For as attorneys on both sides, pro potential jurors until they fill the remaining five alternate seats. Moments after the full jury was picked. A bizarre and tragic moment outside court as a man set himself on fire, Authorities Say he was previously known to the police. And while they are searching for any domestic terror connections, that is not believed to have been the motivation in court. A handful of Perspective Jurors became emotional. One was excused after she told the judge she had anxiety and was worried as the trial goes on, more people could know shes part of the jury saying, i might not be able to be completely fair and not emotional so that concerns me another was dismissed after she began crying, saying, im sorry, i thought i could do this. I wouldnt want someone who feels this way to judge my case either. I dont want you to feel ive wasted anyones time. This is so much more stressful than i thought. A third was sent home after noting she was feeling anxiety and selfdoubt as she listened to a line of code questioning about the credibility of witnesses at the defense table, trumps set flipping through papers with charts, photos, and graphics. He whispered and passed notes with his lawyers and at some points was hunched over with his elbows on the Desk Prosecutors susan ha finger started off questioning potential jurors, telling them this is not about mr. Trump being a former president. Its not about his being a candidate for the presidency. Its only about whether the evidence proves hes guilty during her presentation, trump leaned back in his chair at one point, his eyes closed. Trumps attorney, Susan Necklace focused on bias against the former president she told those in the jury box, you all bring biases and you particularly really bring biases about someone who is as publicly an outspoken as President Trump. Theres nobody that doesnt know him in this room in the afternoon. The court moved to a routine hearing to determine how much of trumps legal history the prosecution will be allowed to ask him about if he testifies, which he said he plans to. Prosecutors argued they should be allowed to question trump about the findings in the E Jean Carroll defamation case, among others despite trumps attorneys strong objections, the former president shook his head as the prosecution spoke about how he defamed carroll. Kara scannell, cnn, new york and very soon former President Trump will be taking the stage at a Campaign Rally in North Carolina. Steve contorno is there on the Scene Steve Trump had a lot to say on truth, social earlier today, even though the judge, in his hush Hush Money Trial has told them not to thats right, alex. And he has certainly tested the boundaries of the Gag Order Put in place by that, judge. Hes been very vocal all weekend long about the timing of this case. That is one of the his latest grievances he posted on truth social earlier today that he feels this case has been rushed to trial and listen 20 said earlier this week about the fact that the judge is requiring him to be in new york as this case goes on i wanted to just say that im supposed to be hampshire. Im supposed to be in georgia. Im supposed to be North Carolina, South Carolina wants to not a different places but ive been here all day on i try all that really is a very unfair trial i should point out that trump has voluntarily appeared at several of his civil cases where he was not required to be in the courtroom in lieu of campaign events. But now this put this is why theres so much focus on the saturday today rallies and his weekend events, because as his Campaign Goes from trial to the trail, this is when hes finding time to speak to his voters and hes doing so tonight in North Carolina, this is a critical state. Its one what be we will be closely watching over the next six its months because trump, only one, its four years ago by 1. 3 percentage points. And let me talk about one interesting nugget of information we got last month from primary voters in this state when they nominated dominant trump, they also said that there was a large contingency. The, i should say that said that they didnt think that he should fit for office if he was convicted 30 of republican primary voters said as much in our cnn exit polls. So that is a troubling sign. For Donald Trumps Campaign Something and they are going to be closely monitoring as these cases move along. Alex yeah, that is going to be a state that both sides are fighting very hard for Steve Contorno and lovely wilmington, North Carolina. Thanks very much.

Com if you or a loved one have Mesothelial Mac will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and well come to you 808 to one 4,000 today on capitol hill billions of dollars in foreign aid for ukraine, israel, and taiwan were approved, was approved by House Lawmakers that if those bills, that bill now combined set to go to the senate to be voted on, on tuesday. Weve just learned Speaker Mike Johnson is hailing this as the right move, but it is one that could cost him his job as a group of hardline republicans threatened to remove him as Speaker Of The House. Lets discuss all this with anna navarro and doug hi, both republican strategists on as also a senior political commentator, peers cnn. Thank you both for joining me. Doug, i want to start with you. House republicans could have voted on the senate bill back in february when it was passed by the senate. That one included not just aid for these countries but Senate Border measures as well. Border security. To what extent do you think that this is a win for democrats politically because theres nothing on the border today from the house. It isnt win for democrats were focusing a lot on what republicans were able to do. This is a victory for democrats because a lot of them did not like the deal that they supported that came from the senate. And i worked in the House Of Representatives for a long time. And lived and died on Immigration Reform and the border. This is as good a deal as republicans could have gotten. But the reality is so often we see in republican politics that its not that something isnt good enough. Its almost as an issue. It cant ever be good enough and its why republicans accept that deal and why, whats happened today. Big win for mike johnson, also a political victory for democrat hey, remember senator Frank Lankford from oklahoma saying this is, this is a great deal. We hes no hes no shrinking violet. I want to talk about what this means for Speaker Johnson has doug was just touching on after the vote. Cnns manu raju spoke with congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene of georgia. She has been threatening to oust johnson as speaker. Lets take a listen to a little bit. She had say we saw what happened with this vote. We saw your amendment code down, we saw your all your frustration. But mike johnson, so is today the de youre going to call for the vote seeking his ouster. Im actually going to let my colleagues go home and hear from their constituents and you have the strongest loudest voices in republican and the Republican Movement and grassroots furious calling for mike johnson to be vacated. The people here, my my colleagues have not heard the message doug, what do you make of that . Shes not calling for the motion to vacate. Shes saying i want everyone to go home and hear from their constituents. One of the maxims in especially house politics is when you have the votes, you make the vote. And obviously shes not making the move today because she doesnt have the votes. Well see if she can get there in a couple of weeks. Thomas massie is saying the same thing at this point. Its pretty doubtful. But if they had the ammunition to do it today, they would have done it. The fact that they dont says that Speaker Johnsons and a strong position. And what key navigating did this, i think very well, he had low expectations. A lot of criticism from some of his colleagues coming into this still new to the role, so to speak, that he was able to negotiate this with his own party and with democrats, shows these a much savvier operator. I think that hes been given credit for on an of arlette. Lets bring you in. What do you think the fate of what what do you think the fate for Speaker Johnson will be okay, the short term, i think hes okay. Marjorie taylor greene, as were to sound like The Little Girl who cried wolf but now ive got a month that shes been threatening to oust him and to come go ahead with this motion to vacate that. Never materializes at the end of the day was the point of being speaker. Whats the point of having the position if youre being held hostage, your view if you cant get things done i think this is a win for him in the short term. I dont know whats going to meet for him in the future honore, democrats will step in to help save johnson i think they will weve already heard some of them say that they will. And its just about avoiding this function. Im not sure thats good for my johnson to be able to survive just with the help of democrats. Its certainly not good with it when it comes to his standing with hardline republicans heres what i think that for the sake of the institution and having some semblance of order and organization yes, democrats will step up and help mike johnson and doug. How do you think this is going to land with voters . We see President Trump on foreign present, trump on the Campaign Trail today voters in both camps feel very strongly about aid for ukraine and for israel, Foreign Policy generally not a determining factor in the president ial race, but how do you think this . Huge series of aid packages is going to impact president ial politics . What weve seen is that this is not just about whats happening in the House Republican conference. David cameron came to washington, boris johnson, and come to washington. Both Urging Support for ukraine, having been to poland at the polish Economic Forum twice in the past two years, its a very palpable real thing in poland . And i think thats one of the things that republicans learned. That doesnt mean that its a voting issue. Your donald trump will talk about it a little bit perhaps tonight, but his over, overriding message is going to be the border, obviously, which we didnt address. Certainly jobs, the economy, what things cost, and inflation those issues arent going away regardless of what congress has done so far. Tweak before we go on . I want to get your take on one more thing that we saw. Its kind of bizarre. This request from the trump campaign, he made this this week. Theyre asking gop candidates who use trumps name, image, and likeness to give at least 5 of . What they get to donald trump, whats your reaction to that sounds like brother, can you spare a dime . I mean, this Trunk Campaign and donald trump just cant stop selling at this point. I dont know if hes running for president of the United States or precedent that the Home Shopping network if its not sneakers, its bibles and now its a percentage. If you appear with me, have you use my appearance all right . Republicans thats what youve, got all he does have significant legal bills on an navarro. Doug. Hi, always a pleasure.

Harry, i want to talk about both things quite a, quite a range of things to get to. But lets start with congress so how much has this Congress Actually gotten done . The fact that they got these bills passed today in my mind, sort of is a festive miracle that is the only way i can put. I cant believe they actually pass anything in the house and its going to be probably passed and signed into the end, signed into law by the president soon enough, look at this up until this point, there have only been 47 bills and resolutions signed into law. That is by far the lowest the last 50 years, the prior low was 100. So were at half the level of the prior low most congresses, you know, you go back 30, 40 years. Were talking 200, bills and resolutions sign a law at this point, we are at a drummer maddock low, its no real surprise, alex, that congressional Approval Rating is down in the other disApproval Rating is up near a decade high. Its because congress doesnt do anything. Lets see, after Congress Actually pass something today, or at least the house then, then the senate. Well later this week, if that Approval Rating could go up because the truth of the matter is alex it just cant go any lower less than half. Thats incredible. And harry, republicans come monday, theyre not gonna have much wiggle room, will they knew they wont have much rigueur room. I mean, obviously today, a lot of republicans disagreed on some of those bills being passed specifically, ukraine aid, look at the majority of the size of the majority that Mike Johnsons working with right now, once my gallery hello resigns, which we expect to be a later this weekend, were going to have a majority that is a small of a majority in the House Of Representatives when the congress was in session, the lowest and over a century, you have to go back to 1,917 to get a majority as small as were looking at come this upcoming im not necessarily the best at math, alex, but if you have to go back more than a century to find a majority as small as this one. While i think that tells you that were in a very interesting time and it wouldnt be surprising to me if mike johnson has to continue to rely on democrats to pass things Going Forward especially considering that Ultra Conservative Flank that hes dealing with youre certainly better at math than most of us. But what does that mean for the chances of mike johnson to hold onto his speakership and make it to the end of the month, the speaker yeah. I think a lot of us perhaps were expecting if he was going to pass the bills that he passed today, that perhaps has chance of staying speaker would be relatively low, but in fact, weve heard a number of democrats say that they would in fact come to his aid. So i like looking at the betting markets on this sort of group conventional thinking, right . To give us an idea of whats cooking. So the betting markets, the chance Speaker Mike Johnson is forced out before may 90 . No, this is significantly up from where we were in the beginning of the week when a significantly higher chunk said yes. Now the vast majority say no, i dont think theres really much of a chance just heard in an navarro and the last segment essentially saying at this particular point, Mike Johnsons job looks pretty safe. The conventional wisdom agrees with it. An i at this particular point, agree with the conventional wisdom and now to the aforementioned range, no ones ever, ever accused you, harry enten, of not having range, whether its covering politics or sports, or even an eclipse recently. Lets talk music the tortured Poets Department and its dean taylor swift, her album just released yesterday, and its dominating the charts absolutely. As you know, these segments have turned me into a bit of a swiftie. So ive been looking at all the different charts. One of the charts i like looking at is apple music. And were not just talking in United States, were talking globally baby look at this. She has the two top albums she now has 19 of the 20 top songs. And you know, i have a theory on this alexander is this i have a friend, brooke, who is currently in new jersey. Shes celebrating are 25th birthday. Ive been told shes a huge taylor swift fan, so its my Conspiracy Theory. If im allowed to believe in one is my Conspiracy Theory that taylor swift put out these two new albums, including the surprise album in order to give brooke a happy birthday. So it is me here on national television, brooke wishing you a happy birthday, and were going to listen to some taylor swift together when you come back to new york, thats what i got for you, alexander on that note, happy birthday broke. Hope you have a wonderful one. Harry enten, thanks to appreciate it as always.

Take a listen to their little more. Yeah, but sunday yet begun no more. There very slow its a nice core, spongy, right . Bungee. This point thats pretty easy. This is basically, youre saying this is blue carbon this is blue carbon. So yeah, its not blue ground and remember, but, but it is blue carbon, right the blue and blue carbon is because this process is taking place under water and that is the key because in wet swampy mud, with his little oxygen the carbon can be safely stored away for millennia its wild to me that for so long we have not given enough importance to these kind of areas. And here we are in a Climate Crisis and were now holding on to these ecosystems for dear life, essentially joining us now is dr. Emily pigeon a Climate Scientist whose work has made her a leader in discovering new solutions to Climate Change documented thank you so much for being with us today. Help us understand these carbons systems more and their impact on Climate Change so as we know, are we searching for the solution to Climate Change and visitors multiple pieces to this, you know, weve all talked about the need to reduce emissions ends various technological solutions, but the solution that is right in front of us that we can act on right now is nature. Nature provides some of the most Immediate Solutions for addressing Climate Change. And about ten to 15 years ago now, we discovered that coastal wetlands systems, these mangroves, seagrasses this is the salt marshes that are highlighted so beautifully in this film are amazing at taking carbon out of the atmosphere and the ocean and then burying it in the soil below them as we saw in that clip there that black mud, muddy. The. Mud that we think of when we think of coastal swamps, is this amazing long term storage of carbon and its kept there for millennia we beginning to appreciate now, were beginning to see countries really understand how important their coastal wetlands systems, these salt marshes, seagrasses, mangroves, as part of their full climate solution dr. Pigeons, theres no shortage of incredibly alarming studies, reports documentaries on this earth, de, on monday, whats your message . My message is that the solution to Climate Change needs all of us. It needs everybody from government to corporations to communities, to every single individual. Thats i guess what the purpose of earth day is, is to bring us all together to recommit the other 364 days of the year as to what we all need to do in the context of blue cabin. That means actually going out and getting to know our blue carbon ecosystems. I live here in the bay are in california. We have amazing salt marshes lining San Francisco bay and all around the car boasts of the us and around the world, communities like those that we see in this documentary depend on an are connected to their coastal ecosystems. And so i think if i have a message for to the people, it will two individuals. Lets go and connect with the nature that is part of the key solution to Climate Change will have a couple of moments left. Are there any emerging technologies that youre excited about that will help in this fight the solutions that im most excited about have already emerged, and we just add paying enough attention to them or investing in them enough. And thats really thinking about nature. These coaston Cabin Systems thinking about forests, thinking about all the inwater rivers and lakes that are already providing solutions to carbon. As i climate issue. But then also protecting us every day all right, dr. Emily pigeon wishing you an early happy earth day. Thank you so much for joining us.
