charles again, king charles is going to have to do. he will have to move with the times, with the world events that will shape the country and shape the feelings of the people. the world is going through some very profound changes at the moment. that period of stability that the queen s reign sort of watched over during that sort of post-world war ii period has changed. so, king charles is going to have a much more unpredictable period to reign over. yeah. many cultures and many faiths. richard was here earlier with christiane and max foster, and we talked about the diversity that must be addressed within the monarchy, especially as of late. yes, it has been sort of put on the agenda. and there have been a variety of commissions and internal working
and now yes that memorial site has been hit by russian missile that was apparently aimed at the tower that s nearby. but i think more importantly with the russia story is really about is that we re done with the post-world war ii period of history in europe. whatever comes after this war is gonna be the post-ukrainian war period in history. you could feel that in your bones, you really can. i have 1000th of a connection to it that you do but it feels very clear. again, your reporting on this has been essential and i thank you for making the time with us. thank you. all right coming up an update on a story i brought to you last night on a january six defendant who blamed trump for his actions at the capitol. didn t take long for the jury to come back with a verdict. we ll give you that to you after this. we ll give you that to you after this
that was apparently aimed at the tower that s nearby. but i think more importantly with the russia story is really about is that we re done with the post-world war ii period of history in europe. whatever comes after this war is gonna be the post-ukrainian war period in history.
post-world war ii period, the currency that has led to america s influence around the world has been a combination of our credibility and some sense that we genuinely have values. and, look, people know that we re not always reliable. they know that our values don t quite match our rhetoric, but they do believe that there is something to our credibility, something to our values. and when we do this and we show that we are completely contractual and that you can t count on us, that we tell the kurds, yeah, go ahead and destroy your defensive fortifications. we ll have your back. and then they do that, and then we say then we unleash the turkish forces on them, then that s going to resound not only in the middle east. it resounds in taiwan. i was in taiwan recently. what do the taiwanese think? what do the south koreans think? what do the latvians and lithuanians and estonians think? nick, thank you.
