lines here. what do the ukrainians are saying that lukashenko, whose hold on power just a few years ago, was looking rather shaky, maybe weakening his domestic position by allowing russia at some point to deploy nuclear weapons in belarus and as. as matthew just mentioned the fact that this means more russian troops in belarus, a country which did allow the russians to use their territory to invade ukraine. just over a year ago, tim alright then, then ben from the battlefront now what's the latest, particularly in the ongoing battle for mahmoud? the situation there continues to be precarious. cnn was on the phone with a senior fish spokesman for ukrainian forces in eastern ukraine. he said that the russians in the area around mahmoud do not seem to be
netanyahu out of his ongoing corruption trial, something he denies. netanyahu faces increasing international pressure from allies, notably, the united states, which has criticized not only settlement expansion, and some of israel's actions in the occupied west bank, but also a rare presidential incursion into internal israeli politics but resident biden urging a consensus be reached on judicial reforms. >> we have never had this kind of differences, between jerusalem and washington it's always been over palestinian issues or erratic issues, it's never been about the way that israeli government is legislating on a democratic agenda. >> reporter: women ahead in the calendar, the highly sensitive period of overlapping muslim and jewish holidays of ramadan and passover threatening to set jerusalem aflame, as well. yet another battlefront for netanyahu, israel's ultimate survivor, for now.
