Meeting with russian president vladimir putin in two days. Well play for you what biden is playing ahead of that summit. And Keir Simmons exclusive interview with vladimir putin is just ahead. It is fascinating. Blus, Benjamin Netanyahu out. His former aide, Naftali Bennett, in, as the israeli parliament approves a new government after 12 years. Thats a really shocking development. This was, of course, his second act and i spoke with Richard Haas over the weekend, while this was happening. And haas said, like many people are saying, dont discount the possibility that Benjamin Netanyahu still has a third act in him. That coalition, talk about a disparate group of leaders together with different factions coming together.

The cdc reported that almost 130 Million people 18 and older, have started the Vaccine Regimen and almost 84 Million adults are fully vaccinated, which is about 32. 5 of the population.
