One person has died following a single-vehicle crash in South Auckland’s Ōtara this evening. A police spokesperson confirmed they attended the crash on.
Hamas is the deadliest in modern history for journalist, according to the committee to protect journalists. joining me now are two of the previous journalists i know. he is an independent journalist and the founder of the block diplomats official youtube channel, and block diplomats substack newsletter. karen elias, an award-winning columnist for the washington post. she was also jamal coaches editor at the washington post until he was killed by agents of the saudi government at the consulate and is temple. welcome to both of. you thank you for being here. tara, you and terrell, and others, have been pointed out to us for some time that for some reason, the world s quieter about this. journalist themselves, in many cases, are quieter about the deaths of our colleagues in palestine, in gaza, then we perhaps otherwise would be.
I can tell you that he is actively engaged in his duties as i highlighted, and fully engaged and so, you know, completely confident in that, and we ll obviously keep you updated in terms of his status in the hospital. has he expressed at all why he was reluctant to share what he was going through until now? i don t have that specifically from the secretary, tara, but obviously as i highlighted, you know, it s prostate cancer and the associated procedures are obviously deeply personal, and so again, you know, we ll continue to work hard to make sure we are being as transparent as possible moving forward and again, wish the secretary a speedy recovery. just last, you know, there is still a lot of questions on the process about all of the notification that didn t happen. when he was taken by ambulance to walter reed and had personal security detail with him, why at that point wasn t there like a call to an operations center or something that would have triggered a greater awareness
Washi washington, d.c. the event is open to the public and will also be livestreamed. for more details, refer you to the air and space forces association or national catholic website. with that, i will take your questions. start with associated press. tara. hi, general ryder. thank you for doing this. have you or the staff had a chance to speak to the secretary and has he shared at all why he was reluctant to make his condition public until now, and given the seriousness of his treatment, do you suspect that he might have to take a step back from some of the more rigorous parts of his job, such as a lot of the overseas travel he s been doing and maybe delegate that to secretary hicks? the staff has been in contact with the secretary. i have not personally spoken to the secretary. but i do know, for example, that he s in regular communication with his chief of staff. as for his travel schedule, of course i don t have anything to announce.
Chief of staff. as for his travel schedule, i do not have anything to announce. i can tell you he is actively engaged in his duties as i highlighted. and he s fully engaged. and so completely confident in that. we will obviously keep you updated in terms of his status in the hospital. reporter: as he expressed at all why he was reluctant to share what he was going through until now? i do not have that specifically from the secretary, tara, but as i highlighted prostate cancer and the associated procedures are obviously deeply personal. so, again, we will continue to work hard to make sure we are being as transparent as possible moving forward. and again, we wish the secretary a speedy recovery. reporter: then one last thing, there s still a lot of questions about the process and notification that did not happen. when he was taken by ambulance to walter reed and had personal security detail with him, why
Much tension is gonna be here this week. the democratic leader is here he could be speaker if all things go according to plan their. but so is a least a fantastic, also new york, it ll be interesting to see what kind of leadership she takes in trying to build back the majority in new york and elsewhere. interestingly, new york will be a bit of a battleground state who are normally it is not. tara, we learned this week that representative, steve scalise, is having a stem cell transplant as part of his blood cancer treatment. it s likely he ll be out of washington for a time. and that means that there is a period after he steps down that republicans will literally only have 218 in the house. they won t be able to lose not one vote on legislation. do you think that leads to instead of zero productivity coming off of the least
Trump s actions has said that she pardon him if he was convicted of a crime. while desantis, has spent more energy chiding democrats in the media over january six then the man who started the riot to begin with. and then there s a long shot candidate, vivek ramaswamy, remember him? he went even further posting on acts, happy entrapment day. in reference to the three year anniversary of the capitol attack. joining me now is democratic strategist, my friend, brother, lincoln adviser and former gop so glad to have you guys. tara, in my intro i really did not list any actual issues that are being campaigned on. and that s probably because the only time that they raised them is when they wanted to complain, are they missing an opportunity in terms of courting voters,
