are another step closer to fully opening the u.s. embassy. right now it is not the case. this is not an official opening of the embassy. so no this isn t sort of the official permanent reopening. but we of course will continue to work towards that and hope to officially open the embassy soon. reporter: that was a promise that was given by u.s. officials to ukrainian officials but as this press conference was about to get underway there was a raid siren that went off and that delayed everything. there is still a war going on but not seeing it in kyiv and the embassy being very careful as to not give an exact date when it might fully reopen.
update from law enforcement for another couple of hours, because it is so early in this investigation. one of the things, john, that we re seeing that there are names circumstance light trying to figure out who the person is. that will be a big help, to finding who they are. but those accounts who you re hearing inside this subway, i want to paint a picture for viewers really quickly, if i could, john, is that this has happened during the rush hour, at a time when, on a subway line that is a commuter train. people were just probably going to work this morning. this isn t sort of a tourist area of brooklyn, where it would be incredibly packed, but even still, just horrific, horrific on this train. and actually, we re getting moved right now. i ll go back to you john, if i can. brynn gingras, having a little bit of problem with your audio right there. joining me now is the new york congressman, lydia velasquez. i just want to confirm, can you hear me? yes, i can hear you.
