The guided bombs that moscow used to attack kharkiv, they are not as precise as ballistic rockets or cruise missiles. Their main purpose, their main aim is to cause devastation and this is exactly what the kremlin wants to achieve, kyiv says. Therefore they asked their partners to provide them with long range weapons and president zelensky has already responded to this attack by once again calling on his partners to allow them to use these weapons to hit targets deep inside russia.

On the app. So it was kind of a laundry list of issues. More broadly, mike, were you surprised that this happened in france? so, this is. . . One of the fascinating aspects of this case is, you know, it s a big deal in any sort of country at this point, i believe, to really take under arrest the ceo of a major tech company, especially one used by almost a billion people, that telegram is. I think the distinction that s important here is that the arrest was made not under eu sort of broader laws, but specifically under french sort ofjurisdiction.

Have a great neighbor day weekend and good night. Before donald trump, the trump era of presidential elections, the conventional wisdom was that presidential campaigns do not get serious until after labor day. But for trump, he will emerge from this labor day weekend into a september of court dates and debates. Today we are expecting the next major step in the federal election interference case against him. Special counsel jack smith s team and trump s attorneys are expected to propose a schedule for future court proceedings. It comes just days after a federal grand jury returned a superseding indictment that charges trump with the same four counts he faced in the original indictment returned last august. But whittled down in light of the rightwing majority supreme court s ruling in favor of trump that residents have immunit
