Hijacking. Surprising development over night. The Biden Justice Department pushing back against a Judges Order to release the judges secret memo citing not to charge Donald Trump with obstruction. Hear why. Very good morning to viewers here in the United States and around the world, its tuesday, may 25th. Happening now, Secretary Of State Antony Blinken emerging from a meeting with benjamin neta netanyahu. This is day one of the threeday middle East Tour to shore up the Ceasefire Israel and hamas. Left more than 250 people dead the people of gaza are beginning the long, painful process of rebuilding. Lets get right to cnns Hadas Gold live in jerusalem this morning. These meetings between Secretary Blinken and the Prime Minister very important, hadas. Reporter yeah. We just heard from both the Secretary Of State and the israeli Prime Minister Making Statements after meeting for more than an hour. The israeli Prime Minister thanking the Secretary Of State for the u. S. Support of israels right to defend itself, mentioning that the u. S. Has supported helping israel replenish its Iron Dome Missile Defense System which helps Intercept Rockets launched by militants. He warned if hamas breaks the calm that exist right now the israeli response will be very powerful. Now, Secretary Of State blinken for his part also supporting the u. S. s right israels right to defend itself. But he did speak about the need to reduce tensions and maintain the ceasefire. He also spoke at length about the need to help the people of gaza with humanitarian aid to help the people there rebuild after all of that destruction. He did make an announcement the u. S. Will make a significant contributions to rebuilding gaza. He said there will be more details on that later today. He also spoke about the need to make sure that this aid flowing into gaza does not end up in the hands of hamas. They will somehow benefit from it. Theres a big concern amongst the international community that this aid will end up in the hand of hamas helping them rebuild their tunnels or rockets arsenal. What is notable about what we heard from the Secretary Of State is while there was talk about peace and calm, there was not necessarily specific talk about some sort of longer term peace deal, Peace Solution or Twostate Solution just yet. This is the closest the secretary came to making that sort of pronouncement. Take a listen. Prime minister, i had a chance to discuss other steps that needed to be taken by leaders on both sides to set a better course for their shared future. As President Biden said, we believe that palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live safely and securely, to enjoy equal measures of freedom, opportunity and democracy, to be treated with dignity. Reporter and the Secretary Of State will now meet with the israeli Foreign Minister and the Defense Minister and later today he will head over to meet the palestinian Authority President and the palestinians Prime Minister. John . Hadas gold in jerusalem. Thank you. Joining us now cnn chief national Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny and cnn congressional Correspondent Lauren Fox as well. So this ceasefire right now, you guys, its holding. Biden is very much claiming credit it seems for his interactions with benjamin netanyahu, does he get create . I think he deserves a measure of create because he is the u. S. President at this moment at this time. So he engaged six times over 11 days in Phone Calls with Prime Minister netanyahu. Theyve had a very long relationship. Some 40 years. Ups and downs. Not always positive, but certainly more up than former president barack obama. We remember that very rocky relationship. Look, i think he gets credit for being in place and negotiating this ceasefire presiding over it. Largely because the intervention of egypt as well. But, the Middle East was never going to be at the full krim of his foreign policy. He didnt want to fall into this intractable situation. Theres no talk of a longer term peace process. So, he gets credit because he was there. And if it holds, i mean, thats a very good thing but he did not instigate this because he is joe biden. No, thats right. This is a tough issue. Its not one that any president is likely to have success on. So hes not really going to go there in part because of that. You actually have some new reporting on Infrastructure Negotiations between republicans and democrats. Are things looking good, bad . Well, Last Night Republicans came back into washington, so it was the first opportunity we really had after that Friday Meeting with the White House to check their temperature on how they were feeling. And theyre feeling like negotiations could be going much better than they are. And i think in part what we heard from someone like Shelly Mother cap toe, the lead republican negotiator right now is that we have told the White House or at least this is her own words, we have told the White House over and over again, there are certain things we think are infrastructure and there are certain things we do not think are infrastructure and yet the White House continues to include those kinds of items in their package. I think this is a really Do Or Die weekend or week, excuse me, for what happens on infrastructure in part because these bipartisan negotiations only had so much time. There is a clock ticking. And i think that theres a lot of folks on both sides of the Aisle Waiting in the wing to let democrats either go it alone or at the very least throw up their hands on the republican side and say, look, biden wasnt very soors about being a bipartisan president. This always seemed a little like theater to me that this was likely not to yield anything and it was just kind of an obligatory overture. Do you think its shaping up to look like that . The key question is what do the moderate democrats who required this bipartisan effort, what are they thinking . Yeah. And i asked Senator Joe Manchin Yesterday very briefly as he was walking on to the floor, are you ready to give up on bipartisanship . Are you ready to move forward . Its always a good day to do bipartisanship which is a very manchin thing to say and i talked to senator john tester, moderate democrat from the state Of Montana who told me, look, i will give this more time. Im not the leader, so i dont make that call, but i would give this a little bit more time. So that soft deadline coming up this weekend, that might slide a couple weeks if i had to make my prediction. Youre a tester, you have to say you want more time for bipartisanship. I want to talk about i dont really want to talk about Marjorie Taylor greene, but i think what she said about the holocaust its an important topic to talk about because of how leadership for House Republicans how theyre not responding. Kevin mccarthy still has not said anything. I think back to the ilhan Omar Debacle of 2019 and i think, who are these republicans who are saying nothing about what she said. Look, they doubled down and sided with her months ago. Now theyre stuck with her. So kevin mccarthy, of course, the leader is going to try and keep dodging questions. My guess is that lauren and others on Capitol Hill will get him at some point and he may say something, but thats really not the point if you say something eventually. He missed an opportunity. This is also an issue that concerns and worries and really angers republicans. This is not just a partisan issue down the middle here. So, look, but this is something he does not want to get cross ways with President Trump or anyone who is in that lane or vessel. Thats where she is here. So they have made the decision. She is with them. She is part of their organization their House Republicans he had his chance to distance themselves. They did not take that chance. Shes the gift that keeps on giving for them. I think we can say that will be true for the future. For herself too. Every time we talk ability, its discussed shes raising more money which is extraordinary. We have and lauren. Thank you for coming on. Great to see you. First look at Detained Belorussian Journalist And Activist Roman Protosevich. He was taken into custody after the government diverted his commercial flight in order to arrest him. This was a forced landing by Fighter Jet basically a statesponsored hijacking ordered by a dictator. Protosevich may have been forced to go on camera, which is what youre watching. Cnn spoke with his father. He fears the worst. Translator we are very worried as we expect torture and physical abuse, although we hope that that wont happen. But knowing the kgb methods, we hope he will be strong enough and have enough Will Power to endure all that awaits him. In response to the detention, the eu announced New Sanctions against belarus. Our senior international Correspondent Frederick Plieken joining us now. Fred, the belorussian dictator already a pariah but now entering this, i think, really new area. Reporter yeah. I think youre absolutely right. And i think parading Roman Protosevich and Belorussian State Media made things even worse for the belorussian dictator lukashenko. A lot of folks in the opposition are calling this a hostage video, essentially his dad said a couple other things saying he believes his son has scars on his face and might have a broken nose in that video. He said there was a lot of powder on his face and thats certainly not exactly what he remembers his son to look like. So certainly a lot of condemnation coming also from the biden administration as well. President biden putting out a statement also saying that this was an outrageous incident both making that Plane Land and that video as well. The eu also taking steps against the Belorussian Regime as well. I want to listen in to what the head of European Commission had to say. This is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on freedom of expression. And this is an attack on european sovereignty. This outrageous behavior needs a strong answer therefore the European Council decided there will be additional sanctions on individuals that are involved in the hijacking, but this time also on businesses and economic entities that are financing this regime. New sanctions by the european union. The europeans also banning the belorussian Flag Carrier from flying into Eu Air space and also European Airlines being urged not to fly over belorussian Air Space or into belorussian sort of keeping a track of whats been going on with belorussian Air Space earlier today very, very few flights and a lot of European Carriers avoiding that Air Space guys.

Cnn has learned the Senior Officer on the scene of ronald greenes deadly arrest in 2019 failed to initially report his own body camera footage. Lieutenant John Cleary arrived after State Troopers were in a high Speed Chase with greene and punched, kicked greene. They didnt want to sit him up because they were afraid he would spit blood on them. Youll recall that ronald Greenes Family was originally told, they say, that he died in a car crash. Cnn has been unable to reach lieutenant cleary. Today marks one year since George Floyd died in the hands of police. President biden will meet privately with members of Floyds Family at the White House today. Now floyd has become a powerful symbol in the fight for Police Reform and racial justice but how much has really changed over the past year. Cnns Omar Jimenez live for us in minneapolis this morning. Youve been there so much and had an opportunity with such great reporting the past year. Its a poignant anniversary. Reporter yeah, it really is. Its hard to believe almost how much has happened over the past year here in minneapolis from the trial and even the protests they have long subsided but now leaders can hope the energy there can turn into meaningful policy, but theres disagreement on how to move forward. Theres no perfect solution. And many of these same issues had been point of contention for nearly two decades. George floyd. Say his name, George Floyd. Reporter they were unforgettable images. I cant breathe. Born from an unforgettable video. We put that before us at this time. Reporter now a year later activists meet in the basement of this Minneapolis Church with a singular Mission Chief Arradondos vision reform. Reporter they have been working directly with the Minneapolis Police department in hopes of turning it into a better one. What is different here in minneapolis . And what is different in the fight that you all are trying to wage . The difference now is that there is more awareness of the atrocities that the Minneapolis Police department has been getting away with for decades. Thats the difference. Reporter back in 2003, this group negotiated a federally mediated Memorandum Of Agreement detailing concerns over use of force, Police Community relations and more. A document then Sergeant Arradondo helped negotiate. The future is what matters. We all got children or all got younger people out here and its even 7, 8yearolds afraid when they see police. Reporter but strategies over how to proceed with police have been divided at times. City Council President Lisa Bender and others led attempts to dismantle the Police Department in favor of a wider encompassing community safety department. We have invested like so many cities for years, for decades in policing as basically the only way were investing in keeping people safe. People think of policingsy Mon Mouse of policing as safety. But it doesnt work that. This is supplement to the work under way in the Police Department. You need Law Enforcement and you need the community. Driven approach working simultaneously to see safety. Reporter bans on choke holds, requiring intervention on unreasonable use of force by officers and more. But overall, its been a process thats been on going for decades. Meanwhile, names. Hashtags, jamar clark, breonna taylor, philando castile. Black faces begin to run together. Kids runs up to me, mr. Thompson, mr. Thompson, they just killed someone in brooklyn center. Philando castile was shot and killed by a Minnesota Police Officer in 2016. That officer was never convicted on any charges. We could have saved George Floyds life in 2016 when philando was murdered. We could have saved daunte Wrights Life when George Floyd was murdered had we just looked at Police Accountability pieces seriously and said were going to put an end to this right now. Reporter the stakes after decades of attempts are as high as human life. We have to be serious about being at the table and making some concrete decisions about reform that will last generationally. Reporter a year after one video shook the world, the effort to bring about longterm change continues so future Generations Wont have to watch new ones. Omar, like i said, its great having you there. Youve been there all year and your reporting has been so terrific. And the city has seen a lot of different things over the last year, including a surge in violent crime. So how are officials responding . Reporter thats right, john. So amid calls to reform police, the dynamic were seeing right now is more police. Weve seen increase in violence over the past year here in minneapolis and the major Jacob Frye called in for additional state and federal Law Enforcement resources to help with the public Safety Effort and theyve been hurting for officers a the local level when you look at 2019 to january or late january of this year, they are down 200 just around 200 officers available to work. Thats a little over 20 of their entire department. And all of it comes amid an on going department of Justice Probe into patterns and practices at the department. So again youre bringing in more police to deal with the issue now while they there are efforts to reform the police in the long run again all year after George Floyd was murdered on that video now seen countless times around the world.

As vaccinations increase, so too, though, do the disparities among americans willing to get the vaccine. Cnn senior political Writer Harry Enton to explain the split youre seeing. Socioeconomic divide really. A big socioeconomic divide. So take a look, these are the top 25 vaccinated states by Poverty Status. A lot of yellow. That means below average. That means the states that have the lowest Poverty Levels have the Heist Vaccination rates. In fact, only two, New York and New Mexico have above average Poverty Status for those in the top vaccinated states. So were seeing not necessarily surprising pattern. I said Hesitancy And Willingness to get the vaccine. We dont know that. This a case its people just not getting the vaccine in this case could be structural barriers. The infrastructure lagging behind in terms of Vaccination Rates. Correct. I think this is all intertwined. Above average in the red, below average in the Orange Yellow color and again a lot of Orange Yellow. What this suggests is that the states that have the fewest number of africanamericans they tend to have the highest Vaccination Rates which matches the polling data. Some of the racial disparity is closing across the country, yes . Yes, it absolutely is. Take a look at the data from the cdc. This is the Race And Ethnicity of those with one plus dose. Overall, look at this, 62 are white but take a look in the last two weeks just 50 getting the Firstplus Dose are white. Africans up from 9 to 10 . Large jump from hispanics 14 to 23 . Could be because some of the younger groups are getting vaccinated. This is an encouraging sign given we have seen the divide with white people far more likely to get the vaccine. Lets hope that continues. We are seeing gains in terms of americans vaccinated, correct . We are absolutely seeing gains. Im all for the positive stuff because theres a lot of it right now. All americans with oneplus dose right now its 49. 4 . Do simple math. What does that tell us, well reach 50 plus if the rates hold. Thats something really, really to celebrate. Were also on track to reach the 70 threshold by July 4th which is what the president called for. Looks like i did the math last night we will be 72 . 72 is a good number. Its absolutely a good number. Far ahead of where i thought we might be in january given the numbers. Lets look at case rates around the country. Yeah. Look, i showed you bad maps. Look at this. Coronavirus in the u. S. , new cases in the past week versus previous week a lot of green. That means the coronavirus cases are dropping only three states see an appreciable increase. A lot more green especially in the populated states like New York, pennsylvania, florida, texas and california. Green wave. Green wave. Well take it. Harry, thank you very much for that. Thank you. This morning the State Department Urging Americans not to travel to japan just two months before the Olympic Games set to begin. Overnight top japanese officials down played the new advisory. Cnn live in tokyo with more. Theyre down playing the advisory, but i have to say this has to sting as japan is trying to make the case that the Olympic Games are safe. Reporter john, absolutely. The timing the optics of this are a major blow to olympic organizers even though most foreign travelers have been banned from japan since last year. The u. S. State Departmentish Smued a level 4 do not travel advisory. This is the highest cautionary level and the cdc is saying that even fully vaccinated travelers run the risk of getting and spreading covid19 variants in japan. But you had the u. S. Olympic committee saying theyre confident their athletes can compete safely and japanese officials saying this does not impact u. S. Support for the Olympic Games. But john, the contrast between what olympic officials are saying and the situation on the ground are growing. 2 of the japanese population has been fully vaccinated. The medical system is under strain. Osaka, doctors are warning of a System Collapse with hospitals running out of Bed Space and ventilators. At the same time, you have olympic officials saying these games are going on as planned. That optimism is something that much of the medical community here disagrees with. They say it is impossible to hold a safe bubble at the scale of the Olympic Games and that they need to be cancelled in order to save lives. John. Its hard to Square Warning Americans shouldnt go there with the claims theyre totally safe. Selena wang, you stay safe. Thank you so much for your reporting. Appreciate it. This morning a family is back together after a new Jersey Man became stranded in india as the countrys covid cases and deaths skyrocketed. He traveled to india to care for his father who is sick with covid only to lose his dad to the virus and get stuck in the country. After being told they wouldnt see each other for nearly a year, i am so happy that they were reunited yesterday. Hes back home in New Jersey with his family where he belongs. That of course was their Home State Senator bob menendez. We first spoke with ashu and his wife about three weeks ago when they were still separated. Theyre very much not separated now as you can see here as they sit together before us here. As hurks, i know youre mourning the loss of your dad. Now you are back with your family safe and sound. How are you feeling . Im feeling glad to be frankly speaking im feeling so glad and so happy I Cant explain it. Im back with my family. I can see them. I still Cant Hug them but still i can see them at least from a distance. So thats a great feeling. Youre distancing from them until you can be sure you have a negative test . Yes, thats what im doing. You and your kids must just be thrilled. My little one, shes 9 years old, brianna, she hasnt stopped jumping. Yes, ashu has been quarantining in the basement. Were on the main floor. The way were dealing with this is i sleep with the girls on top of the stairs and he sleeps in the basement. Thats how weve been talking inside the house. You have a lot to catch up on as youre mourning as a family and its so important that youre together. So how did this happen, ashu . Last time we talked as we heard from the senator there, it was going to be maybe a year until you could come home and be together. Tell us how things changed. So last time i told you, right, we got an appointment in 2002. There is a provision for getting an expedited appointment, which Senator Menendez and his office helped us with. And we we fell into that category where we could request for the expedited department. Senator menendez and his team they helped us going through to process so basically they made us go through the whole process and made it easy for us and applied for the expedited appointment and i got one and immediately i got the expedited appointment and got the interview and got my Visa Stamping done and immediately i traveled back. Its amazing. Its amazing that youre back as you left, of course, india is still seeing record days of people dying. Just tell us what it was like . What was it like that . So during the time i was there, when i arrived there, the pandemic has actually started. And april is not as bad it was a week after. So when i went to cremate my dad. My dad, he passed away on april 21st. I went to cremate him. There was a huge line of ambulances on the cremation ground. And i was scared. I was like, okay, that is when you realize, look, this is the level of impact that the pandemic has right now. In fact, after seeing that, i just got myself into the house and i just locked myself in there. I didnt want to go out. I didnt want to speak with anyone. In fact, even the people who wanted to come and convey their condolences i said lets do it over the phone. Lets not meet. And thats how it was. When i was looking at people, everyone around me, every family around me was covid positive. So that was scary. But again the next two, three weeks the way it happened, the beds were available, the oxygen was available in delhi, when i traveled back things were improving. It was a good sign that i was looking. That is certainly some good news. We hope you will not talk to each other up and down the stairwell but be able to hug and just enjoy your time together even more. Thank you so much for being with us this morning. Thank you, brianna. Brianna, if i may, just urge there are still thousands of people stuck in india because of travel bans. Some have Visa Stamping which ashu did not have and some are without the Visa Stamping because the consulates are closed. If we may urge the u. S. Administration here to help us because these are Visa Holders on the brink of not only losing their jobs, their lives they have made and also separated from their families. So we were lucky. For the help. We were able to get back together. But, i think this needs to be seen from a humanitarian lens. Yeah, good point. There are many people who are looking for the kind of relief that you guys have just gotten. Thank you so much for bringing that up. We appreciate it. John .

New this morning the Biden Justice Department is appealing an order to release the full 2019 memo on why trump was not charged with obstruction in the Russia Investigation in the Mueller Investigation. In an effort to keep it hidden. Cnns Paula Reid joins us now. Paula, some people might hear this and scratch their heads and say what here . Why is the Justice Department trying to keep this Memo Secret . Reporter good morning, bri brianna. This is all about precedent because the outcome of this case could impact future public Records Request and as we know theres a long Standing Tradition at the Justice Department leaders from both parties really working to try to keep internal documents secret. So just because the Biden Justice Department is working to keep most of this Memo Secret it doesnt necessarily mean that they agree with the actual decisions made by the Trump Administration related to the Mueller Investigation. Now this whole legal controversy started when a Government Watchdog been very critical of the Trump Administration sued to get this momenemo saying the pu has the right to see because it would give insight into bill Barrs Decision not to charge former President Trump even though the Mueller Investigation uncovered strong evidence of instances where the former president tried to obstruct that investigation. Now earlier this month the federal judge ordered the memo to be released. She accused the Trump Administration of misleading her, saying that this was legal reasoning when she said no, its not. She said, no, the Attorney General knew what he was going to do before this memo landed on his desk. He ordered it to be released. The Biden Justice Department has released a few pages but they didnt release anything new and its likely that most of this memo, brianna, will remain secret as this litigation continues. Yeah. It was still redacted and really did not give us any new information there. Paula, thank you so much. Paula reid. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greenes deeply offensive comments comparing Mask Mandates with the holocaust are the latest in rise of vile and violent rhetoric coming out of republican politics. Hear what some other high profile republicans have said. Listen. Second term kicks off with Firing Wray and Firing Fauci and put the heads on pikes, right . Put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. Anybody who thinks this election went well like that Idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cyber security. The guy on 60 minutes. That guy is a classa moron. He should be taken out at dawn and shot. Lets have trial by combat. Joining me now is michael gurst, Washington Post columnist and former aide to george bush. American politics is conducted under the threat of violence. Thats a chilling statement. What do you mean . Well, its a column that i never thought i would have to write. Ive been in and around republican politics for a few decades. And we have seen, sometimes need to step back, and realize what youre seeing. We saw the then thirdranking republican in the House Of Representatives accuse the president of the United States, liz cheney, accuse the president of the United States of using violence as a political tool in American Politics. This is really extraordinary, unprecedented. Some of that is just the way that trump conducts himself. He has create addis course around violence. But some of it also seems to be a strategy to influence future elections. With the kind of authoritarian populism. And that really should frighten all of us. And thats where you say it crosses the line when the violence becomes more than just language and actually becomes practice. Which is what we saw on January 6th. I know youre concerned we could see leading up to 2022. You say the only way to diffuse the bomb is to embrace the truth. What do you mean . What i mean is you cant do Ritual Condemnations of violence occasionally. You have to Rejek Ct The lies tt feed the violence. This is, in fact, cheneys main point. Its the lies about the last election that are setting up the possibility of violence in future elections. The same language that produced the January 6th attack is being used by the almost everyday. The former president almost everyday. And that is an incitement to violence. And its part of a strategy by which local officials are being either replaced or intimidated, that have defied the trump authoritarian approach. And i think that this bodes very, very poorly for the future. Well, if you want to see something that i think you will find to be an ill omen, George P. Bush, who is a texas statewide official considering running for even higher office and of course the son of jeb bush, the nephew of george w. Bush, ridiculed maligned by Donald Trump. Great to speak with President Trump to discuss the future of texas and how we are keeping up the fight to put america first. So, when you see that, to me its a sign of how hard it is for some republican politicians to make the break from Donald Trump. Well, it shows you where the Activist Base in the party is. His language, his brutality and elective republicans and future elective republicans are scared to death in this environment. Theyre scared of their own constituents. This is a sorry state to be in. Right now the republican strategy is not to pick up new voters in elections. Its to change the Electoral System to make it more favorable to themselves. So they can claim and win close elections even if they lose them. That i think republicans, elected republicans, providing cover for that message are engaged in a very dangerous game. I saw you shaking your head. You looked sad when we put up that picture of George P. Bush there. Yeah. Its disappointing, but hes not alone. You know, much of the responsible voices of the republican party have given in. That has to change. Michael gerson, thank you so much. We appreciate you joining us this morning.

New details this morning on the investigation into how exactly the Coronavirus Pandemic began. Previously overlooked data on Chinas Screening of animals for coronavirus is getting new scrutiny from the World Health Organization. Cnns nick Paton Walsh is joining us live with some details on this. Nick, tell us why is this screening of animals for covid getting this new attention . Reporter yeah, brianna, this comes from the enormous 200 Page Annex to the w. H. O. Report that was released back in march and often overlooked. In that there is remarkable discovery, certainly felt to be such by a source close to the investigation i spoke to. In which china says it took some samples on December 7th of animals well known to potentially be carriers of the Novel Coronavirus and it tested them for coronavirus. They all tested negative. But essentially the question the investigators asked themselves, what was china doing in early december before china knew this virus was in humans testing animals for it. Now, Chinas Explanation to us and to them this was done a few months later when Coronavirus Testing was possible and they regularly collect these kind of samples from animals, but it does appear theres a substantial Data Base or storage of these Animal Samples that w. H. O. Could look at and could give them interesting extra clues. Conversely the annex to the report says key Human Samples collecting from around that time in a major hospital in wuhan have all been destroyed. Lots of questions here w. H. O. Investigators to look at. And they do want to get back possibly in smaller groups to continue their investigations. Interestingly, too, Seafood Market talks about possibly being key to the Beginning Spread of the virus. Well, this annex goes into detail, too, about who was exposed to that Seafood Market and many, many first cases of the virus had no contact at all in fact a total of 28 markets around the city seem to have been in contact with these early cases and china says was the very first patient on december 8th, he was an accountant working for his family company. He never went to any of Thesemore Exotic Wet Markets where world animals are sold and went to the chinese equivalent of a walmart. Theres lots of confusing pieces in this analysis. But really it adds more reasons for why these investigators need to get back, need to look at this detail in the raw and question it closely and it really says this was happening back in november, the first cases not in december. So many more questions to be answered, brianna. I will say that was a good explainer yet i have more questions when we began. Researchers need to look into this. I need a white board. It was great. Thank you so much. Its really many things that investigators need to answer for here. Nick Paton Walsh, appreciate it.
