fighting tradition. a history of ferocious resistance. but it s nothing like what you might think. not at all. i took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool rain on my shoulder found something good in this beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha la la la la sha la la la la la sha la la la la sha la la la la la la anthony: this is okinawa, just south of mainland japan. for all the relative rigidity of the mainland, okinawa answers in its own unique way. don t eat the same thing each day. that s boring. there s even an okinawan term for it. chanpuru, something mixed. bits borrowed from all over served up for anyone to eat. but maybe you re more familiar with the name okinawa from this. as the setting for some of the most horrifyingly bloody battles of the second world war. how horrifying? for the allies there were more than 50,000 casualties with around 12,000 killed, or missing in action, over nearly three months of fighting.
again. and so i don t want to be in the prediction business with something as heavy as that. what i will say is that my meeting with the director of the masad last night, we met for more than twice the expected 45 minutes because we had a very detailed conversation about how to move forward to secure the release of the hostages. ultimately that will be something that we have to work in a very sensitive way between the u.s. and israel, working with qatar, with egypt, with other actors. and so i will leave that conversation where it belongs in those sensitive channels. but i will just say this has seized the attention from the very first day the president of the united states and every other senior member of his team and just this week the president met with the families of the american hostages to reaffirm for them that we re going to do everything in our power working with our israeli counterparts to ensure every hostage comes home safely and i ll leave it at that for today.

Thank you so much for letting us into your home during these extraordinary times. We are grateful. Beth beet with ari melber start rights now. We start with Breaking News a legal first for President Biden. Attorney general Merrick Garland Upending Washington today with an announcement, he is appointing a special counsel to hand it will probe of classified do you means found in joe bidens office at home. This is a significant legal development. No matter what happens from here. Its also the kind of twist that would have seemed like a movie plot even just a few months ago when former President Trump was clashing with the doj over his handling and alleged mishanding of classified material. Would have felt like a twist in the last couple weeks when bidens team was optimistic after the midterms and then the gops chaotic start to the congress. Garland did not preview plans at all. He announced he would deliver remarks today. Didnt deliver the topic and then said the words that tend to rattle
