The french president macron, killing me speaking, are you going to hit your follow this shortly after we re going to be we re likely to be here to court are hurting here from of course, these programs can shift slightly here and they re likely to hear from the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, and then president biden himself, four as we have been discussing thing and laying out a very important moment to mark, of course, in history. but an important speech in the present and for the future. we bring in jim sciutto. once again, fascinating to listen to the secretary of american battle a battle monuments, jim and talking about the the strongest weapon system. past, present, and future is still remains is really beautiful remarks and quite pointed remarks directed expressly at russia. he said a
Message is going to be received by a war-weary electorate who heard from president biden back in 2020 that he planned to end forever wars like the war in afghanistan, where the us withdrew in 2021, albeit in a chaotic the way. and since then, two new hot wars have begun. the war in ukraine that is now inching toward the three-year mark. and the war between israel and hamas, which while only months-long at this point is still far longer than anyone in the biden administration had expected it to last. and there s frustration among the electorate about how long these wars will continue to i asked and how long the us will continue funding the defenses of these country. there also is expected to be an implicit nod to the future and the risk of isolation depending on the policies that some of these countries may pursue. we don t expect president biden to named donald trump by name either today or tomorrow in his speech from pointe-du-hoc, which is the point over looking at the beaches here that cliffs that
Population of europe but four the ability of europeans to live freely. so what we heard today, varus were remarkably moving words, not just from the american president, but also from a number of world leaders here today to say that what was done here at years ago needs to be remembered by everyone and celebration. and mark in order that we can remember that, that freedom that was congruent as such, great expense 80 years ago is something that we continue to fight for today and heads the president or president, the presence of presence, lenski on that extraordinary beach commemoration we saw on omaha earlier today, not just the allied nations and their leaders present but the leader of ukraine as well, an important reminder that that fight continues 80 years on boards yeah, and we actually saw president zelenskyy exchange a moment with a u.s veteran that was quite touching. they were sort of referring to each other as heroes,
The day of birth okay. the panels here. so mark why not? i mean okay. fine. it s a messaging bill. i got that. and whoever the majority is in the house and senate, they do this all the time. but why not just vote yes. in favor of contraceptives? well, and i don t know all the details of that bill, but i also know that katie britt and ted cruz had a bill that was just like it it got voted down or i got rejected by the democrats. i mean, that s what this is. doing. this is i think democrats, it s just try both sides, trying to score points on the other one, they re not going to vote for our bill. we re not going to vote for your bill. and washington continues the way washington does that s actually incorrect. a part of what s been happening since the fall of roe v. wade is we re seeing measures in the states actually he s seeking to restrict access to certain forms of birth control, particularly iuds and plan b, which is some consider it to be in a board of facial at which it s absolutely not. and so this bill basically covered everything from condoms, two plan b, and other
Leaders prepare to gather to mark the 80 years since the allied landings in normandy. 150,000 soldiers landed on five beachesin 150,000 soldiers landed on five beaches in northern france. it was the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. many veterans from the us, canada, uk, elsewhere in northern europe will be there today to mark what many are describing as the most important international anniversary of this year. king charles will be there, as will us presidentjoe biden. uk prime minister rishi sunak. the prime minister rishi sunak. the prime minister rishi sunak. the prime minister of canada, justin trudeau will be among the global leaders gathered. we have a live page set up online which you can watch throughout today as the events unfold. our
Effectively at a time when people remembered world war ii. it s a greater challenge for joe biden at a time when fewer people understand what world war ii meant to our nation and to the world. and we re watching live these pictures of the president and first lady who are heading to air force one. they re going to be leaving normandy and heading back to paris. but in the meantime, brendan, i want to dig a little bit more into the specifics of what we heard today because part of it at least really speaks to what we just heard from mark which is about coming to the aid of other countries. the president got applause when he talked about nato, and then he seemed at least in some way to perhaps make a reference, some might say take a swipe at donald trump as we watch the president and first lady get onto air force one. let me play that little bit of his speech for you.
Sort of big moment up there. we will sea if that s what he decides to do. brett i know you wrote a piece today on fox news, an editorial about the importance of normandy and. you re a deep student of history as well so you re thoughts on this 80th anniversary? i just think it was so powerful martha and your coverage has been spectacular. the images and all of the speeches. at thank president biden s speech really hit the mark. it was delivered well and he said a lot of the things i think america and the world wanted to hear. i was reflecting in this piece about how we got there and the meeting where they planned this operation called overlord because they need to have something that changes the dynamic in the war. overlord becomes d-day. dwight eisenhower becomes the commander of that operation.
Maybe even me if i am honest. that s not the issue. what will the jurors feel when they make that decision. it takes just one of them who says you know what? he wasn t really lying. he was lying with himself and we ll let him go and pardon him. jurors can issue a pardon and say we aren t going to find him guilty. they can do that. harris: they can look at all that evidence and nullify it. they can look all that evidence as the elephant in the room and they can use nullification like they didn t see it. mark, thank you very much. new action about trump s vice presidential choice is telling fox news sources are telling fox news who could be the second in command. we have a list of names. you know them well. the power panel next. ns, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility
supposedly durbin is looking on the for the confirmation of judges, they just passed the 200 mark, but even apart from politics, one thing we can say, in the absence of any teeth, when we are just ad hoc, when the political theater has gotten to a pointy justice alito has made a representation and really it might be wrong. it might be false, it s all the more important in the absence of any kind of formal guidelines at that point to follow through. i cannot see the argument against at least a hearing. i can barely construe his letter, giving every indulgence to it not being untruthful, but man, do we have to know that. the difference between a justice who when things get really tough, doesn t tell the truth to congress and one who does, to answer your question to ian, that would be impeachment
Basildon man was meant to win it for the tories in 92 and then in 97 labour got worcester women. but now i m sounding very old. but my question, the one wasn t it at one point ijust think they always sound like those skeletons, glaciers going, oh, we found such and such man who reveals that humans lived on berries. that s right. and this sort of both useful and unusable, these kinds of cliches. but they but they are cliches. but, mark, it s fantastic to hear from a real, an actual workington man rather than a cliched workington man. but mark, you didn t tell us what your politics are. i d like to know that. were you misrepresented by that terrible cliche or not? yeah. mark, get back in touch. email us newscast at bbc.co. uk. although he already knows our email address because you already emailed us. i mean, it s for other people who don t know it now. laura, i thought we could end where we where we started, go full circle and talk about d day. and i know that you have been delving into your own family archive. well, it s funny, i don t like to talk about my family. i think it s bad enough for people i m related to that. i m on tv at all. however, d day really made me think
