Were going to show you coming up in the next few minutes but we have to talk first about what weve seen in the past 48 hours, the appalling targeting of reporters who are trying to tell americas story. Theres so much thats so wrong about this situation. First and foremost, the video seen around the world, the video of George Floyds final minutes alive. Its so wrong that its hard to see, but it is right that we look, it is right that we bear witness. And it is right to see protestors taking action as a result. But it is wrong to see reporters and photographers and news crews being assaulted and arrested at these protests. Police firing rubber bullets at reporters when the reporters are holding up press badges, that doesnt belong in america. Authorities handcuffing reporters is wrong. Thats what happens in authoritarian regimes, not in america, but yet it happened again last night in minneapolis and in new york. These threats against the press are not just coming from police. In recent d
East Peace Process because so many palestinians recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of what they hope to be as a future state of palestine for the Palestinian People and asked about this just a little highway ago, the president was meeting with his cabinet earlier today, and he was asked whether or not this will affect the middle east Peace Process, he said hell talk about that here in a few moments. But undoubtedly when you look around the world from the pope to the palestinians and just about every u. S. Ally in between, there are grave concerns about what the president is about to do here. Certainly are. Were going to stand by and momentarily well hear directly from the president over there at the white house. Jim acosta, thanks. Well get back to you. Meanwhile Trump Administration officials admit it could take years to complete the embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem. Our Cnn International diplomatic editor Nic Robertson is joining from us jerusalem right now. Regardless of
President to florida. Let me get to the white house now. Cnns abby phillip is there. It seems like are we at a point where we can say the president is saying let bygones be bygones . It does seem like President Trump is not talking like a man who is preparing to fire someone today. In fact, inviting him onto air force one and saying it is going to be very nice to have him there, as he goes down to florida for this police convention. Now, the president , i was struck by how much he emphasized the Good Relationship he had with rosenstein. He noted that he didnt really know him all that well up until recently. But he said repeatedly, we have a very Good Relationship. He didnt answer questions about whether or not he was still thinking about firing him or if he intended to. And again, kate, i dont think that getting a ride on air force one is necessarily the way you would do that, so it does appear that President Trump is not necessarily gearing up for something dramatic in that respect to
