Tell us what the damage was caused by this bombardment. By this bombardment. Well, airraid sirens ke t by this bombardment. Well, airraid sirens kept going by this bombardment. Well, airraid sirens kept going on by this bombardment. Well, airraid sirens kept going on in by this bombardment. Well, airraid sirens kept going on in kyiv by this bombardment. Well, airraid sirens kept going on in kyiv and sirens kept going on in kyiv and across ukraine all night and this morning as well. And according to the Ukrainian Air force, russia launched some 80 drones and about ten missiles, including air launched Ballistic Missiles. This number is much fewer than the number of missiles and Drones Moscow used yesterday during yesterdays attack. But it is still a deadly attack, and one of the missiles hit a hotel in Central Ukraine where at least two people were killed in that attack. And the Rescue Workers are still at the sites trying to clear the rubble and find missing people there. And also, as w
course? i think the president going to kyiv doesn t settle that problem once and for all. ideally, it would have been great had he shown up, you know, with senator mcconnell or somebody like that who is strongly in support of the war. again, it sends a reassuring message to ukraine about american staying power. which, jonathan, is critical for europe. europe has followed behind and with the united states for the most part. this is leading from ahead, and that is what is required in this instance. we are now past 6:00. welcome to morning joe at this morning. joe, mika and willie have the day off. i want to bring in katty kay, special u.s. correspondent for bbc news, into our live, rolling coverage of this presidents day and president biden s surprise trip to ukraine, one meant to show a real symbol of solidarity, katty, with kyiv, as it has weathered russia s invasion now for 12 months. yeah, jonathan, what a day for us to kick off presidents s day, to see these images.
everybody. i m yasmin vossoughian in for another hour of news. the january 6 committee may be pausing hearings until september but their investigation is moving full steam ahead. committee members fanned out on the sunday shows making it clear they hope the justice department is listening to them. there is a massive difference between i m going to prosecute the last administration for political vengeance and not prosecuting an administration that literally attempted a failed coupe. i sure as hell hope they have a criminal investigation at this point into donald trump. congresswoman liz cheney dropped what may be the biggest piece of news over the weekend saying the january 6th committee is prepared to consider a subpoena for jenny thomas, wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. we certainly hope that she will agree to come in voluntarily, but the committee is fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not. i hope it doesn t get to that. i hope she wil
Hello, im lewis vaughanjones. Welcome to The Programme. We start in the middle east, where the palestinian president says only the us can prevent an Israeli Attack on rafah, where more than a million have fled. Mahmoud abbas is at the World Economic forum summit in riyadh. He will be joined there on monday by the us Secretary Of State, Antony Blinken. Other Key International figures are expected in the saudi city and Sideline Meetings are expected to discuss the war in gaza and the way forward. That could include further Ceasefire Talks a hamas delegation is reportedly in cairo for discussions there on monday. This is the appeal from palestinian president , mahmoud abbas, to the us, urging it convince israel to reconsider any offensive in rafah. Translation and i say here whats happening now in gaza, | and what will happen in the coming few days, and what israel will do by invading the city of rafah, all the palestinians from gaza are gathered in rafah and its only one small strike tha
the security minister. meanwhile, benjamin netanyahu has criticised an israeli military plan that will pause fighting to allow more aid into gaza. he is facing pressure from the far right to reject any pauses until hamas is totally defeated. our middle east corresponded jon donnison has more from jerusalem on the situation. i don t think the disbanding of the war cabinet is going to have a significant impact, really, on israeli strategy in the war in gaza. but it is significant because the war cabinet was set up in the days following the october 7 attack really as a symbol of political unity. that political unity has evaporated. so you have prime minister netanyahu looking increasingly isolated, with the resignation last week of benny gantz, the centrist opposition leader, and his ally, gadi eisenkot, both of them relatively moderate figures, both men with vast military experience. and, in particular, someone who i think the americans were keen to hear their views. so now, mr
