News Opening Statements got under way in the trial of five men tied to the Extremist Group the proud boys. That includes long time leader Enrique Tarrio. The trial comes just weeks. After two leaders of another Extremist Group, the oath keepers, were convicted l of Seditious Conspiracy. Tarrio is perhaps the highest profile defendant to face jurors yet, in the attack. Tarrio had nothing to do with the events Ofjanuary 6th. He was not there. He was not present. He did not incite or orchestrate any attack on the capitol and i think the evidence is going to be clear. All we want is the truth to come out during this trial. Its obvious that the government has thrown all the resources possible prosecuting the people onjanuary 6th. Its an issue of finding a scapegoat for what transpired onjanuary 6th. Enrique tarrio to me is such an interesting character. You know, hes the national ringleaderfor the proud boys and he sits at the top of theirfood chain. He considers himself a propaganda minist
To what extent is iran pulling the strings in gaza and lebanon . Hezbollah is a militant group. They have their own weapon, they have their own armies, and they have the sole decision that is basically coming from iran. And theyre acting upon that. And china, ten years after the belt and road initiative, is the worlds most impressive economy in danger of hitting the buffers . I think chinas got a big struggle to come, and the big struggle is going to come with its shrinking population. The appalling destruction at the Al Ahli Al Arabi Baptist Hospital in gaza, whoever may have been responsible for it, has overshadowed the hastily arranged visit to israel by president biden. Yes, he was there to offer americas total, wholehearted sympathy and support to israel in the wake of the 7th Of October raids. But he was also there to urge israel in the strongest way to use discretion and moderation if and when it invades gaza, and very likely also to attempt to persuade israel of the need for a

Congressman adam smith, in washington, welcome to hardtalk. And let me begin with a very simple question what do you believe President Biden hoped to achieve by flying out to the middle east . Well, i think the number one biggest goal is to contain the conflict. Thats number one. Number two, to work with israel to try to figure out some way to minimise the impact on civilians within gaza, and also within israel, to try to chart a path forward. And i am seeing reporting its this morning, my time, where were at, recording here im seeing reporting this morning that a humanitarian corridor has been opened up out of gaza, and thats one of the biggest goals. The second is to work with partners in the region to try to make sure that this conflict doesnt spread, that hezbollah and iran dont get more involved. Thats the goal and thats the objective.
