This is the live scene in beirut, as bbc teams report hearing explosions in the capital s southern suburbs israel has ordered the evacuation of three areas. Meanwhile the uk government has chartered a flight to help british nationals leave lebanon, scheduled to leave beirut on wednesday. It s as israeli tanks were seen gathering at the border on monday. Israel s defense minister yoav gallant said the military is prepared to use forces from the air, land and sea to allow thousands of displaced israelis to return to their homes in the north.

it because we put so much on the onus of individual shoulders. and the broad aggregate sense, it s way better than i feared it would be. we will take that statement and run with it. thank you, my friend. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. one of the many revelations to come out of the january six committee hearings was trump attorney general bill barr described, in his own words, how he pushed back against trump s claims of election fraud. he called those claims bogus, crazy stuff, and, most incuriously, complete bias. despite the heroic headlines generated by barr s testimony, it is a good point to remember that barr did not say anything publicly debunking those same claims of election fraud until december 1st, which was nearly a month after the 2020 election. in fact, before his post trump rehabilitation tour, this was the bill barr we knew. what happened to the president in the 2016 election, and throughout the first two years of his administration, was a
across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late. i ll see you then tomorrow. you then tomorrow one of the many revelations to come out of the january six committees, was trump attorney general bill barr described in his own words how he pushed back against trump s claims of election fraud. he called those claims bogus, crazy stuff, and most notoriously complete bs despite the heroic headlines generated by barr s testimony, it is a good point to remember that barr did not say anything publicly debunking those same claims of election fraud until december 1st, which was nearly a month after the 2020 election. in fact, before his post trump rehabilitation tour, this was the bill barr we knew. what happened to the president in the 2016 election, and throughout the first two years of his administration, was a point. it was a grave injustice, and it was unprecedented in american history. the law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of this country who are involved in
