Now on bbc news, unspun world withjohn simpson. Hello and welcome. In todays unspun world from the bbc s headquarters here in central london, ill be asking bbc correspondents around the world to give us their insights into whats really going on. Whats daily life like in gaza and the west bank at present . Going to the bread queues, to the soup queues where children are struggling to get to the front of the queue before the food runs out. Peace in gaza and in ukraine. What might it look like . How might it happen . It can be because they think that, actually, if they carry on fighting, they might get on the losing side, and they want to make the leap before the situation turns against them.

Upon considering his request, i have concluded that it is in the publics interest to appoint him as Special Counsel. This confirms my commitment to provide mr. Weiss awesome the resources he requests. It reaffirms that mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently. Based only on the facts and the law. Lets break it down. David weiss is the same prosecutor who cooked up the original Sweetheart Deal that hunter kind of blew up, a judge kind of blew it up as we take a closer look. They realized it is ridiculous and it does not involve of his bus business dealings. So, as for the Big Guys Involvement in the new hunters Special Counsel. The doj is declining to comment on whether President Biden is under investigation. For now, well have to take joe as his words that he never talked shop with hu
