Protest, take back up the fight if the new government in kiev doesnt live up to its promises. Everywhere you go in Independence Square you run across these basically handmade metal shields. These were used by protesters to try to protect themselves against snipers and reniot poli. They have holes in them that they could look through holes to see whats in front of them. Not all shields were made out of metal. Protesters were trying to utilize everything they could get their hands on. This is a wooden shield which obviously would not stop a snipers bullet. You can see the handmade handles on it that people would use to try to protect themselves or at least hide behind as best they could. When you get up close to this barricade, you get a sense of just the size of it. The sheer size of it. Its made out of metal fencing. Theres tires in there. Theres steel rods. Theres pieces of wood, corrugated tin. Whatever they would find they would try to use to protect themselves. And then protesters
Street. A man dressed all in black carrying an m16 carried out this attack. Two people have been confirmed killed in this incident. Four are in serious condition. The street is known for its shopping, bars, restaurants. This attack happening in broad daylight. We just got off the phone with israeli authorities. So far they are still not saying whether this is a criminal incident or if a palestinian carried this out conducting a terrorist attack there in tel aviv. And even, that last reference because of the last three months there has been exchange of violence between palestinians and Israeli Police, correct . Reporter thasht thats right. Multiple stabbing incidents here and that is one thing they are wondering about is, is this just an escalation of the violence weve been seeing or is this somehow criminal related Israeli Police being very careful to say they just dont know right now. And what do woe know about this pub . Was it like an outdoor cafe . Are there any eye witness account
Wing . Hi ana, this is not a good week for moral when it comes to white house staffer. Particularly, the communication staff. We are talking about a press shop that did not know and kept out of the loop about the president s decision to fire the fbi director until practicely when ultimately contradicted by the president himself. That left people feeling dejected and rattled and thats how one official described that the Vice President , one of the official that is went out and spoke to the press and delivered this story line that the president was relying on the advice of the Justice Department specifically, this recommendation from Deputy Attorney rod rosenstein. The Vice President said that of seven times. Hes rattled once again finding himself in a situation where hes sharing in act rate rate inaccurate information. The president s tweet. It is not possible for my surrogates to stand at the podium with perfect accuracies. Maybe the best thing to do is cancelled all press briefings an
Hearing on monday when sally yates will testify before congress about warnings she gave the white house on flynn. Were covering every side of this. Athena, the Transition Team was apparently so concerned about flynn and his kaks with russian people that will they reached out to the Obama Administration for some help. What more can you tell us . Hi, ana. They had concern that flynn didnt have a full understanding of the Russian Ambassadors motivation in speaking with him. That is why you had the head of that transteam ask the Obama White House to provide the team with a classified cia profile on ambassador kislyak to read ahead of any conversation he was set to have with him. One thing that is not clear is whether flynn read that document. Now, i should mention that there has been some pushback to this. My colleagues Gloria Borger and jim hewitto are reporting former trump transition officials who are throwing cold water on this saying that this is revisionist history and that im sure e
Russia investigation. But i will tell you, it was astonishing, just astonishing to be in the room with the u. S. President and with the russian president on this critical question of election interference and to hear the president of the United States retreat back to these talking points about dnc servers and Hillary Clintons emails when he had a chance right there in front of us, right there in front of the world to confront Vladimir Putin and tell him to stay the hell out of american democracy, and he just didnt do it. It was one of those moments, i think, obviously we all think this is a very big deal right now and sometimes these sorts of things can fade away. But i dont think this is one of those moments. This is one of those moments, anderson, i think really crystallizes a very critical problem for the United States right now in that you have the president , the leader of the free world, taking the word of Vladimir Putin who from all accounts inside the u. S. Government, the u. S
