now, we have all of these israeli citizens who have been evacuated from the north. that is putting a lot of pressure on israel's government to tamp this down and do something about it. that is what is leading ben-gvir and others to say it's not enough to shoot back and forth, it's time to go to war. netanyahu in israel this morning saying they are considering some very significant action against hezbollah on the northern border, chris. >> josh lederman, monica alba, thank you both. we've got breaking news from the pentagon. defense secretary lloyd austin's chief of staff announcing today she is resigning. kelly magnussen is one of the few people that knew austin was hospitalized but did not tell the white house or senior pentagon staff. secretary austin didn't say anything magnussen stepping down, but did praise her leadership, counsel and selfless service, adding i am and will remain in her debt. in just over an hour, a major reproductive rights bill
happen time and again, chris, where the u.s. has sent these key negotiators to participate in these talks, and it's not like there's a formal meeting of the parties. it's to continue to have conversations with the key players in the region, and that is what the president is really hoping his senior officials can do here to keep this going. but in terms of where that stands, there had been some questions about hamas's own view, about israel's willingness to accept the current temperatures on the table, but from the u.s. perspective, they are saying that this is still something that is very much being considered still in the moment. here's how national security adviser jake sullivan put it this morning on the "today" show. >> it is still a live proposal. it's still an israeli proposal. israel is a raucous democracy, so there's a lot of talk and a lot of chatter, but the israeli government has reconfirmed repeatedly, as recently as today that that proposal is still on the table, and now it's up to hamas to accept it, and the whole world should call on hamas
a computer issue then. so today was as we mentioned, long awaited, and finally in orbit, they are on their way to the international space station, and this really does come with a unique sort of mission, a test flight, and they are test pilots, veterans at that. this requires you to be very smart. they are essentially writing the handbook on how to troubleshoot issues that future astronauts aboard star liner might come across. they're going to be doing a series of tests, looking at every aspect that could be better. even as simple as suits, could they be more comfortable, the displays, should they be darker. every aspect is being tested to really get them to the point that they want it to, which is passing certifications so that they can become an alternative, chris, to spacex. spacex, you remember, four years ago started taxing astronauts to the international space station. before that, remember, it was russian soyus was the only option for american astronauts
issues and the problem here is the issues this is causing for prime minister netanyahu's very very fragile coalition, as ben-gvir, and other far right politicians are threatening to leave the government in netanyahu agrees to the cease fire that president biden has put forward, that is risking the potential collapse of netanyahu's government. so that is believed to be one reason that netanyahu has been kind of equivocating on that israeli cease fire proposal that president biden laid out, putting new conditions or reaffirming previous pre-conditions about that, before a deal can be struck by that. it's one of the reasons, tension in gaza, as well as in the old city of jerusalem are so high right now, chris. >> well, monica, president biden is sending the cia director and the top middle east adviser to the region, trying to advance the cease fire deal and hoping to bring down the temperature. tell us what we know about where the talks stand right now? >> reporter: and we've seen this
to accept it, the g7 countries just put out a statement yesterday calling on hamas to come to the table, do the deal, get the cease fire, get the hostages home. that's what president biden is focused on. >> reporter: the president is overseas in france, chris, but he has been getting regular updates and briefings about any developments here, and he has been asking his top officials to make sure he is on the loop on all of that that's happening because as you can imagine, other world leaders, his counter parts throughout these key meetings will be asking about this and also putting international and diplomatic pressure on the u.s. to continue to ask that it do everything it can to see if this hostage negotiation and cease fire deal can come to fruition. that's also why you saw the national security adviser meet with the hostage families of those americans who are still believed to be held in gaza. yesterday it was his ninth such meeting, and these are regular communications that we expect to continue, but the families as you can imagine are just as bracing for any kind of news
here and hoping for some positive development out of this. and they also still believe this is something that could happen. it's just a matter of when and how, which of course is very complex, chris. >> so, josh, let me ask you about northern israel, the ongoing clashes between israeli defense forces and hezbollah, which appears to be escalating in recent weeks. now some members of netanyahu's coalition, the same people who oppose a cease fire in gaza are calling for outright war in lebanon. tell us what's happening there? >> over the last several days, we have seen fires erupting in northern israel. you're seeing the pictures of it right now, as a result of rocket fire coming from lebanon. we should say the back and forth between israel and hezbollah has been going on for months since the start of israel's war in gaza. we have talked about it on the show plenty of times, and there has been a cycle of repeated concern that this could go beyond this tit for tat back and forth into an actual all-out war.
international space station. the last four years, it was spacex, they had a monopoly on getting astronauts to the space station. this is a busy week when it comes to what is slated, what is scheduled for launches this week because we not only had this his -- historic moment, remember, quickly, chris, i want to mention, starship is supposed to be part of the mission to the moon, so, again, a busy week, but exciting week for space news, chris. >> marissa parra, thank you, and that does it for this hour. make sure to join us for "chris jansing reports," 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern here on msnbc. our coverage continues with "katy tur reports" right now. good to be with you. i'm katy tur. what will happen if donald trump
years that my predictive skills are not very good. amongst friends in the pub, i have predicted something and they have ended up being wrong. that is why i don't make predictions any more apart from last night. i didn't even stick to my script. you have a script? _ didn't even stick to my script. you have a script? my _ didn't even stick to my script. you have a script? my mental - didn't even stick to my script. you have a script? my mental script! l didn't even stick to my script. you i have a script? my mental script! but what's that? — have a script? my mental script! but what's that? chris _ have a script? my mental script! but what's that? chris has _ have a script? my mental script! but what's that? chris has a _ have a script? my mental script! but what's that? chris has a notepad - have a script? my mental script! but what's that? chris has a notepad in i what's that? chris has a notepad in front of him. as soon as labour are going to put up your taxes by £2000, i said that is going to be a big deal. i wasn't sure in what direction the deal would go, whether it would be disastrous for labour this because people would be like what i they not telling us? or it would backfire on the person making the claim. it has gone in both directions. the claim. it has gone in both directions-— the claim. it has gone in both directions. , ,, .,~ , . ., directions. rishi sunak may be claim loads and loads _ directions. rishi sunak may be claim loads and loads of _ directions. rishi sunak may be claim loads and loads of times _ directions. rishi sunak may be claim loads and loads of times on - directions. rishi sunak may be claim loads and loads of times on the - loads and loads of times on the programme, as we were reflecting last time _ programme, as we were reflecting last time it — programme, as we were reflecting last time it took quite a while for keir starmer to knock it down and say it _ keir starmer to knock it down and say it was—
because what rishi sunak wanted people to be left with is you are going to be to grant worse off under labour because your taxes will go up, and if that is based, as chris has said, on dubious presentation, it is only right that is called out. the political strategy... the conservatives i should also say reckon — conservatives i should also say reckon that at least some of their numbers— reckon that at least some of their numbers are a under estimate of what the bill_ numbers are a under estimate of what the bill could be or the cost could be. the bill could be or the cost could be but— the bill could be or the cost could be. but when you unpack the whole thing. _ be. but when you unpack the whole thing. i_ be. but when you unpack the whole thing, i think it is reasonable to come _ thing, i think it is reasonable to come to— thing, i think it is reasonable to come to that conclusion, and there will be _ come to that conclusion, and there will be bigger arguments going on in both of— will be bigger arguments going on in both of the two big westminster parties — both of the two big westminster parties as to whether or not this very— parties as to whether or not this very row, — parties as to whether or not this very row, who this very rail service because _ very row, who this very rail service because does it somehow dripped into the bloodstream for the vast majority _ the bloodstream for the vast majority of people who pay not a vast amount of attention to politics _ vast amount of attention to politics. there is this thing going on about— politics. there is this thing going on about labour and higher taxes.
and also just that whole thing of rishi sunak sort of drawing equal orjust going ahead of keir starmer in one poll might feel like a massive victory to some conservatives because in the other polls they're so far behind labour. so actually, a draw is winning even if we're then looking at other polls which are something completely different. anyway, i have learned over the years that my predictive skills are not very good. i have amongst friends in the pub when things have been happening, i've predicted something and inevitably ended up being wrong. i'm happy to admit it, and that's why i don't make predictions any more. apart from last night. i didn't even stick to my script like a leader performed badly. you have a script? my mental script. what's that? touche, touche. chris has a notepad in front of him. if you're not watching this and just listening, as soon as the labour are going to put up your taxes by £2,000, i said, "that is going to become a big deal. " i wasn't sure in which direction the deal was going to go, whether it would be disastrous for labour because people would be
