ukraine. there are some tensions over the speed with which that has happened over these two years, and there have been ongoing battles with the u.s. congress, of course, about funding that. so we expect that the meeting tomorrow will deal with the next phase. the president recently granted ukraine permission to use american-supplied weapons to strike targets that are inside russia but not all the way to the kremlin, not to moscow, but to try to prevent attacks that are staged from russia into ukraine. so there are a lot of very current issues with supplies, resources, and support that will undoubtedly be a part of their conversation here in france. ana. >> kelly o donnell, thank you very much for your coverage. i want to bring in new york times diplomatic correspondent michael crowley and presidential historian douglas brinkley. it s good to have you both here with us. michael, we know at least 25 heads of state are in attendance for these events today including ukrainian president volodymyr
now indefinitely on pause. a state appeals court has issued a stay in this case, until they make a decision on whether fulton county d.a. fani willis can stay on. let s discuss this and more with former chief spokesman for attorney general merrick garland and msnbc justice and legal affairs analyst anthony coley, and msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. hey, guys, thanks so much for coming in. the appeals court isn t even going to take up the question regarding fani willis until october, lisa. so is it surprising this is where we are in this case? >> it s not surprising that this is where we are given the motion that was made many months ago to disqualify fani willis. if you talk to people, ana, who are expert in georgia law, they will tell you that a criminal appeal of this nature in georgia usually proceeds along this time line and that it also usually disables the court from moving forward with any proceedings. the other thing that i want to point out, though, to you and our viewers is that the case is not paused against all of the
existing accusations, but also potentially, you know, many more to come here. the majority of the slayings here still haven t been solved actually. this is, as you mentioned before, these cases go back as far as 1993, remains discovered in the early 2000s and in 2010 and in 2011, and so the anxiety here, the questions around this case have existed for an incredibly long amount of time here, and now it appears that this is a major breakthrough, very concretely tieing him -- although, heuermann has insisted all throughout this that he is innocent, ana. >> antonia hylton, wow, what an update, thank you. now to extreme weather bringing dangerous conditions from coast to coast, areas in the midwest and the d.c. suburbs are recovering from tornados that ripped through communities overnight while millions from california to texas are once again baking in a record breaking heat wave. nbc s gadi schwartz is in
innocence. nbc s antonia hylton is joining us from outside the courthouse in river head, new york. what more do we know about these new charges and the victims? >> reporter: well, ana, this is pretty astounding in terms of development and new information this morning, so these two new charges investigators have brought forth with pretty shocking new developments. that includes not just dna evidence that link rex heuermann to these two additional victims but also the discovery of a planning document, a document that they uncovered in which it appears that the suspect had basically four different columns in which he planned out the problems he might encounter in his murders, supplies that he might need in order to carry out these murders as well as looking at target victims, and this is new, completely new information and pretty substantial here in terms of tying him to these six
consequence, though, is donald trump s going to have to meet with a probation officer before his sentencing hearing. shoutout to the folks at politico who did a great interview to talk about what that interview is typically like and what role it plays in the sentencing process. because that person has an opportunity to call it to the judge s attention any extenuating factor, either those that mitigate for a lighter sentence or those that demand a harsher one. is this a person who is likely to comply with rules if you sentence them to probation. is this a person you can count on to abide by what that sentence is if they re not incarcerated. i think we all know the answer to those questions, but how that interview comes about and how it turns out will be fascinating to see on july 11th, ana. >> i do want to ask about another donald trump legal case, the classified documents case in florida. we have learned that the judge in this case, aileen cannon just had more than a thousand complaints filed against her in one week last month regarding
as these ceremonies to mark all the different chapters of what happened at normandy and how consequential, there s now an international service that s taking place and the president will continue with a state visit to france with emmanuel macron bestowing that highest diplomatic honor on president biden for this visit. ana. >> and kelly, we did see president zelenskyy of ukraine in some of the images this morning, the president expected to meet with zelenskyy on the sidelines while he s there. what do we expect from that meeting? >> reporter: chances are they will see each other at some of the ceremonies today. white house officials say the formal meeting is set for tomorrow. part of that really speaks to all of these issues that the president has been outlining, president biden has felt very strongly that he and the european leaders have been very much in lock step trying to provide the resources for
visiting the israeli border with lebanon warning israel is prepared to launch a, quote, very intense military offensive to stop attacks by iranian-backed hezbollah militants. meanwhile, new details emerging about the shooting attack at the u.s. embassy in beirut. the gunman wearing isis insignia who s now in custody. the lebanese army tells nbc news the syrian national was shot four times but is now in stable condition. now, israel s leading human rights group is saying that if hamas fighters were inside of that school, that would be illegal. it would be a violation of the rules of war, but it would not justify an israeli strike on a u.n. compound where so many civilians were sheltering. ana. >> raf sanchez, thank you for that reporting. this morning we are following liftoff for spacex. it is the next generation starship mega rocket launching just before 9:00 a.m. eastern. it is its fourth test flight today, and the rocket just
the certification of the electoral college was an official proceeding under the law. because the law was originally sort of created in the wake of the enron crisis, and there s been a lot of litigation back and forth about whether or not this would apply to what happened here across the street from me at the capitol on january 6th, ana. >> ryan reilly, again, we will be covering these supreme court decisions in realtime as they happen. thanks for that update, ryan reilly. still ahead, breaking news and a dramatic development in the gilgo beach serial killer case, the new murder charges against the suspect. we re also following extreme weather, rare tornado outbreak in the east hitting the d.c. suburbs as millions of americans cook in the sweltering heat. also ahead, what an appeals court ruling means for one of donald trump s other legal cases. we re back in 90 seconds. ses. we re back in 90 seconds anthony: this making you uncomfortable? good. when you ve got type 2 diabetes like me, you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack or worse
her first time back in an italian courtroom in more than a decade. joining us from florence, italy, is nbc news chief international correspondent keir simmons. knox had said getting this verdict thrown out would be the final step in fully clearing her name, so where does this leave her? >> reporter: ana, yeah, that s right. she flew all the way from seattle to be here, to be in court believing that she could put this last hurdle behind her if you like. instead we watched as she we want as she had a long embrace from her husband. she sat down for a long time in the courtroom. her lawyer told me that she will go back to seattle and continue her life as a mom. clearly she had wanted to fully clear her name. she didn t manage to achieve that today. this morning a shocking verdict for amanda knox convicted for slander, an italian court upholding a 16-year-old ruling. knox had been trying to clear her name, back in that courtroom
