former president to speak considering the caucus night in nevada where trump will likely pick up all of the delegates. and we also expect comments on the disastrous day for his political opponent. president biden now facing questions about whether he should step down following the blockbuster report from special counsel robert hur who investigated the classified documents stored in the garage. the report broadly and boldly called into question the president s mental acuity, something biden tried to dispute in a very unusual evening news conference in the white house. the president tried to assure americans that his mind is sound, but then immediately made a series of mistakes, including calling egypt s leader the president of mexico. now republicans are asking biden s cabinet to consider invoking the 25th amendment, removing him from office. it all comes while former president trump is about to claim victory in nevada. we have team talk coverage tonight. the senior national c
capehart. we begin the saturday show with breaking news from the middle east. the united states and its allies launched another round of strikes against iran-backed militants. the strikes hit at least 36 targets across 13 houthi controlled sites in yemen. the pentagon says these strikes are a message to the houthis to stop interfering with global trade in the red sea. a statement from defense secretary lloyd austin reads, in part quote, they will continue to bear further consequences if they do not and they are illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels. we will not hesitate to defend lies, and the free flow of commerce in one of the world s most critical waterways. however, u.s. officials clarified today s attacks are not in response to the american casualties in jordan. a spokesman for the houthis warned the group would retaliate. writing, quote, we will meet escalation with escalation. this comes as secretary of state antony blinken prepares to depart for
now, we do have new reporting on where yevgeny prigozhin was shortly after. the story keeps getting weirder. the only sort of bright spot for vladimir putin is ukraine s counter offensive has been slow. will cluster munitions change that, and how much blow back will president biden get for that. one nation against it is the uk, we have the latest on the president s stop in london this morning. there s a lot to get to. let us start with the reporting. joining me now, nbc news correspondent ali arouzi, and from kyiv, nbc news foreign correspondent kelly cobiella. let s get to lithuania, the president has just gotten there. what s the agenda for tomorrow? what s on the table? reporter: well, the summit really kicks off in earnest tomorrow, and president biden will be meeting other leaders of nato countries. he ll be very various bilaterals. there will be a nato family photo, and then a dinner at the presidential palace, where they will be able to discuss various issues that th
harris: we begin with a fox news alert. $118 billion, 370 pages. the senate border security deal is out for all to read. the headline from what i m seeing when i read parts of it. it would unlock billions of dollars in foreign aid. in fact, critics are claiming it would also let in thousands of illegal immigrants into our country per day before any action would be taken. we ll get into that and really wipe away the myth. it is not 5,000, it is 8,500. it is an average of 5,000 a day over a seven day period. as many as 8,500 could flow in on any particular day. that s a detail we need to know. well, it needs to pass the senate first, as we know. house speaker mike johnson already has declared it dead on arrival. i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. all right. let s take a deeper look and see what s inside the bill. $60 billion for ukraine aid. $14 billion for israel. $10 billion in humanitarian aid and $5 billion for our indo-pacific partners. that leaves
aid budget by 2026 to reach it. earlier, i spoke with michael wilkins, executive director of the centre for climate finance and investment at imperial college london. it s a little bit of a surprise if indeed it s true that the government will be remeasuring on its previous commitments of international climate finance, especially given that we re in the run up to the next climate change summit taking place in november, in the united arab emirates where this topic is bound to come up. and the uk s commitments, which were hopeful in glasgow only two years ago at cop26, will be looked into question. so it was a bit surprising when i saw it this morning. what kind of difference is this money do to make? due to make? well, you have to put into context, really, in terms of the amount of funding required to tackle the causes and the effects of climate change in the developing world. the poorer countries need massive amounts of investment, and they are just not getting it. you kno
