leader. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. thanks very much for watching aaron >> erin burnett outfront starts right now president's son and who are the witnesses that will be called. plus breaking news, trump's appeal to have fulton county's da removed from his case has a eight and this date means everything for whether this case happens before the election. and ukraine claiming it used western weapons to strike inside russia. >> so will retaliate investigative journalist christo grozev, who is on russia's wanted list is my guest tonight. >> let's go out front good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. we begin with the breaking news. biden has a jury, the 12 jurors who will

decide hunter biden's fete have all been sworn in. they have been given their instructions, and we are now just hours away from opening statements and biden's federal gun case where he's accused of lying about being on drugs when he bought a gun. the judge wasting no time saying her courtroom operates five days a week. opening statements are scheduled for tomorrow morning, and tonight. we do have new details about the jury. it consists of six men and six women. and having pres is going to give you a lot more details because who they are matters hugely meanwhile, in the courtroom, biden was engaged, leaning forward, looking at the jurors and the judge, first lady, jill biden, sat one row behind her step, sayyed, and, was their old de the significance of this moment actually can't be understated. think about last week, right days after a jury ruled that the first former president in american history is a convicted felon on 34 counts, a jury is now hearing the case of the child of a sitting presidents, and that is the first time that any president's child has been on trial. >> these, of course, are precedents.

>> nobody wants to see set, but yet here we are. and this case could have major implications for the election. biden's family, personal laundry is about to be thrust into the spotlight. prosecutors are expected to go into detail into the salacious sayyed of hunter biden's past potential witnesses will include a number of hunter biden's x's. we are told among them, beau biden, his brother, his widow, hallie, whom hunter dated. a hunter biden's own ex-wife and multiple ex girlfriends who will testify to his drawing drug use. it's important to emphasize that this case is being brought by president biden's department of justice, which chose not to charge trump and his stormy daniels hush money case. but as for president biden himself, he was silent today. obviously he was not there. he released a statement that reads in part as the president, i don't and won't comment on pending federal cases. but as a dad, i have boundless love from my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength. so let's begin now with evan perez because he is outfront live outside of that courthouse. it's in wilmington, delaware. and evan, i mentioned that jury we know

said that he believed there was a god-given right to own guns another person who said that she believed all guns should be should be bad so at the end, the jury was selected much quicker than any of you done. then some of the lawyers were anticipating, we spec the first arguments to begin in the morning and the first witness from the prosecution is an fbi agent, who worked on this case. >> so evan 80 is we're seeing pictures of hunter biden and his current wife who was there with him. i know that the first lady was there as well. a lot of family were there and you were there too. so what did you observe about those interactions? >> seven what really look, one of the things that that happened today was we were quite surprised that jill biden arrived and she came in. >> she went into the courtroom. >> she hugged her son. >> you could tell that that made it huge difference, at least two to have her there, ashley biden's a hunter biden sister was also there as well

as his son-in-law big family presence, obviously, to show some support, given the fact that a hundreds father could not be here here. he issued that statement as you pointed out saying that he was going to make sure he didn't interfere in what the justice department was doing. but really showing the support of the family in that statement that was issued by the president of the united states, as you pointed out, a historic day here in wilmington ministry being made in both of the cases that we've been following in these recent weeks and not not history that anybody really wants to see. but yet here we are, evan. thank you very much and our panelists here. let me start with marc america tonight. so mark the jury that evans going through, right. >> this is crucial so let's try at the face of it. we know six men, six women, the majority of them are african american as evan just laid out, you've got a woman who said she's lost many friends to drug addiction on the jury gun owners on the jury, one who believes people who smoke pot should be allowed to own firearms and obviously,

a hunter biden purchasing on gun while under the influence of drugs is at the center of this case. so when you look at this jury, mark, what do you see good jury for the defense. >> one de mostly democratic. we know that african-americans are blacks, are generally democratic on, but they're also delaware into bestor, right? term, which means they from the state that no, the vitamins loved the violence and the bidens have done a lot. four delaware. so in that sense, this is a good place for biden to try a case. and this is a good juror to try them in front of and ryan, that is true. i mean, i lived in delaware for years and it is biden country. >> i mean, there's no one there who doesn't have some sort of a link or a tides an incredibly small state as well. so does that just mean any jury here is by nature going to be in some sense pro biden. >> i think that's right. it has to tilt pro biden in a certain way, especially because he looms large in the state and over there was many years that he served in congress. he's bringing back public goods to

that very states. so he's popular there. he didn't exactly face challengers when he is running. so that's what looms over this and i do think that that means it's very difficult for the prosecutors. but if in fact they do get a guilty verdict, then that's a super important because it shows that even a jury of that nature hasn't fact decided that beyond a reasonable doubt, he's guilty. >> and i want to talk about that. the case itself, where it seems that you go, terry, first of all, though, this this issue of delaware, one woman said i think the short and not get put on, but i'm not sure but i live in delaware. you can't swing a cat without hearing something. the colloquialism of the area. but just think about it. texas is 134 times bigger manhattan, which is where trump's during, was selected from is 1.6 times bigger than the entire state of delaware how does this jury compare to the jury we just saw last week, give a verdict in the trump trial. >> well, you know, in most criminal cases, the venue is

where the count it is for the c, so it's wilmington. if it were just that little group that was pro biden, that's one thing. but the entire state is pro provided so you have to imagine that most of the people on that jury, regardless of race, regardless of background they are probably going to be people who are leaning boards, biden. so i agree with ryan, if in fact there is a conviction, it means they follow the facts of the case, the evidence that was put in, and they follow the law and they all said they could do that. and that's how come they were selected at this, the evidence that we have thus far though, the way it's been presented, and it maybe there's more complexity. i'm missing, but that he bought a gun while under the influence well, he was addicted to drugs and the reason that this is sort of a fact is because he said so in his book, he wrote about it so it sort of seems in that sense that basic part here is already established very much so. >> and the other layer of evidence on top of it is the government has his text messages to his girlfriend at

the time including on the day get that he purchased the gun and then two days later in which he's actually talking to her about using drugs, meeting a drug dealer. and then around the same time this is october 2018, november 2018. he's even saying i'm an addict that's the charge. the charges if you are addicted to drugs are using drugs and you purchased the weapon, you need to say it's showing and you can't get the weapon. but that's not what happened here. so i think that's a mountain of evidence. he's stacked up against it. >> and so marc, that you're also going to hear from his his ex-wife, his brothers ex-wife, who hunter biden also dated after his brother passed away other ex girlfriends what does all of this ad i mean, what ryan's laying out here is pretty simple it really is because if the question is and i think by these own words, they're going to convict him if he gets convicted, and that is where are you addicted when you bought the gun and you should the term addiction, which is what the defense is going to focus on, is okay. >> if you did not believe you're an addict at the time because you just finished an

outpatient treatment. inpatient treatment program, you've living sober, you actually can say to yourself for the first time in a few years, i'm not an addict or not addicted and i presume that that's gonna be the strength of their case because even though that atf form is supposed to be very specific, and we all know what addiction is and what it means. >> but if the form doesn't tell you what it is, doesn't define attic. >> it leaves it open to your interpretation and unfortunately that's a sliver of hope through which the defense is going to try and put their case to say he really didn't know the problem as aaron, you just mentioned, his own words are going to convict him if they do the text messages or the family members are going to say they know he was detected and he knew he was addicted. >> and so this case here, it could move very quickly. and i wasn't being snarky at the top when i said the judge says she this is gonna be five de corps, but there was a messaging not right. in other words, there's a wednesday's off, there's no we're giving off every friday because a juror has a flight this is going to be beginning, middle, end, possibly very quickly. >> it will go quickly. she does

indicate at the beginning, as you said, that she's ready to work five days a week, nine to five, maybe even longer. and depending on what the jury will do, and i think that's good. i don't think during needs to sit there through a ton of evidence. it's not that complicated the case he filled out the form. they are not going to actually have evidenced from when that form might have been altered, which i think should be in the case because that's the case. did he? >> the form correctly or did one of the employees alter it? we know that the judge said that's not coming in and we know that the judge did a lot of pretrial rulings as to what's going to come in and what's not. so she probably can do it very quickly. >> ryan, there was a lot of family around him, right on his wife right? his sister, ashley was their first lady, jill biden was there. so all these people who are there to support him tearing eye, we're just going through for the show began right when did the de or trump came in the first de terrion? i were both in the courtroom. that was the eighth day of testimony when keith davidson was there and after days before that of germs

pre-selection, right. so it took a long time for family to come in for trump and for anyone really to come and he was a lonely place for him. >> what's the significance of the family presence? jury, i think it sends a strong signal to the jury of sympathy for the defendant, and especially a defendant had that went through drug addiction and, so to have the family around him there in support, i think is a strong sign because that's in some ways what they're going for. they want the jury to look at the evidence and the light most favorable to him. and that's what we'll get them. some of that distance that mark you've also got other cases though, at september los angeles, another case for hunter biden, right? that's tax evasion, false tax turns, and that gets you even closer to the election on the potential impact if there is one of hunter biden verdicts on his father's case. >> which trial do you think is a bigger threat to hunter biden though the tax evasion one, false tax forms in california or this gun charge in delaware? i think the tax evasion case is much more significant for numerous reasons. people do not like people don't pay their

taxes. i knew always going to use in that case is addiction or the throes of addiction as is reasonable excuse but if i remember correctly, the outstanding balance was somewhere north of $1 and that's more taxes and most people pay maybe you a lifetime. so my thought is in and again, the sentencing on those cases is increased by the amount of loss. so i think that's much more significant devours the defense team. it can do away with one over the other, do away with california. try this case because even if he's convicted probably not going to jail. but on the other case you are definitely going to jail. >> and the other one if convicted ryan thanks so yeah. i think he's in a very tough situation that most people think he should have pleaded and it's going to be fascinating to see because obviously the timing of that's going to put it right up against the election. >> the impact on the election itself. and of course also on his father thank you all very much. i appreciate it. and next breaking news, trump's appeal to remove fani willis from the georgia case gets a date and this date is crucial because it

will answer the question as to whether there's any chance that the georgia case by fani willis against trump goes to trial before election day. plus dr. anthony fauci on capitol hill. and it quickly got heated do the american people deserve to be abused like that, mr. fauci, because you're not dr. your mr. fauci congresswoman row will ruiz, who was in the room asking questions is my guest, plus china seeming to enjoy trump's conviction. >> images of the former president in an orange jumpsuit are now going viral. there will tell you why and where and a story that you'll see first here tonight out fine the sirens are going off the tornado hit you, cannot out swim this you cannot outrun it really is a terrifying experience. it is the stuff of nightmares you could hear it

free text l0 vii to three-to-one, three-to-one. today this is cnn. the world's

news network breaking news. >> a date for trump's trial in georgia, a georgia court just now setting the date of october for that is for oral arguments then trump's appeal to kick da fani willis off the case. now, obviously, you look at that date, it's almost exactly one month before the presidential election and getting the state of october 4, just tonight is coming weeks after a judge allowed willis to stay on the case she was allowed to stay on as long as the then lead prosecutor, nathan wade got off the case. of course, the two admitted to having a romantic relationship out front. now, ty cobb, the former trump white house lawyer on this breaking news to tie, were just finding out a georgia court is setting october 4th. this is for oral arguments trump's effort to kick her off the case, right? it's not the case itself. it's in this whole whether she is or isn't on it. what does this new date mean for trump's georgia trial?

>> i think one thing it certainly means is again no possibility this case going to trial before the election or likely before the end of the year and i think the stakes are very high here. i think it's a case where the fani willis may easily be removed from the case and that will be a further setback to the case also, keep in mind that she has cross appealed because she age she had that right. but also that several of the accounts were dismissed because of the failure to adhere to certain pleading technicalities and rather than simply fix those in the grand jury's, you'd like it to appeal that. i'm not sure if she has much likely the success on that, but if further complicates the appeal, you're

saying that it is possible that she could indeed be the trump could be successful in getting her kicked off the case. now, i know ty, you and i've spoken out about his case. this is separate from your view of the case itself. >> but nonetheless, you think it is possible that trump could win this part of it. >> and fani willis goes away easily so then i guess let's just play it out this way because this gets to the heart of the issue itself, which is the case itself and its strength. >> let's just say tie fun fani willis steps down tomorrow voluntarily. >> i know this isn't going to happen but if it happened, what would that mean for the calendar? could you actually get this case done or tried before election day i don't think so. >> i think the claims on the appeal are so so detailed in the relief they've sought and the reasons for the relief. they've sought suggests that she's already damaged the case to a degree that is improper

through her misconduct. and that it's so infects the case that the case should be dismissed i think that the likelihood is that the judge who's done an excellent job i think so far in this case would let the appellate court ruled before taking any action, even even if you did step down. but assuming even if you did step down at that he let it proceed he'd our the georgia court of appeals let it proceed because technically they had jurisdiction now is this case is definitely not going to go to trial before the before the end of the year and quite likely will not. would i go to trial until sometime in late 20s, late 2025 or mid-2025. whether trump wednesday fiction or not. if he does when there will be an effort to prevent the case, we're going to trial at all and i think the likelihood is that even though there's no precedent for it

that they would tend to follow the federal rule and the court may impose a ruling following the federal rule that hey president cannot be distracted by criminal trial until after his term. >> i mean, it is really incredible because people have talked about this case and that the strength of this particular case here we are, and that it may not get a day in court is certainly before election day, maybe ever, you have trump wins the election tie. you've predicted that you will dismiss both special counsel counsel jack smith's cases on day one. so to literally be among the first things that he does so when you just laid out what you laid out with georgia, right. >> so some might say, well, but georgia's a state case that can go ahead and you're talking about how they probably will follow the federal precedent and not do that how how real is the chance that trump avoids any trials from this point on for trying to overturn the 2020 election i'm sorry, it's very real if you went the election it's not real at all. >> if you lose it, because if he loses the sledgehammers out

there that are the jack smith trial on trump's failure to permit to peaceful transfer of power and the related classified documents case for the use, abuse, and refusal to return those documents is out there. both of those will end up going at some point if it's trump loses sight at some point, nick, early next year, early to mid next year. and the georgia case would likely follow that along later and keep in mind that if he wins in this case, not only will the georgia case languish until the end of his term by any sentence that judge merchan might impose to the extended imposes a incarcerated since that would also linger until after trump's term at which point it would be at three plus so i think justice has been pretty

elusive in these cases. and sadly in the georgia case, it's all of its all the fani willis his own making yeah. oh, absolutely. that is the reality. thank you very much. i appreciate it. tie pleasure. >> thanks for having me here. >> all right. you too. and i'm not breaking news. we're also getting some new reaction to trump's historic criminal conviction from republican lawmakers on capitol hill, right? some who have maybe been deciding which side to jump onto. >> well, they're jumping now and manu raju was outfront motto, you've been talking two people all day. >> you're on the steps of the capitol right now. >> what are they telling you yeah. i speaking to a lot of members from both sides of the aisle including republicans, are in swing districts. the ones is fete in november will determine whether republicans can hang onto the majority. those republicans who are representing districts that joe biden himself carried in 2020, namely, in places like new york in california and suburban deserts in the ligand asking them directly about donald

trump's conviction on these 34 felony counts, if they will continue to stand behind, if they have any concerns, will they run away from the top of the ticket, but through and through a number of these members say that they will continue to get behind donald trump, no matter if there's backlash because his felony convictions desert having a convicted felon in a district like yours hurt republicans my districts for very smart people firm grasp reality. >> they can smell no issues, nominating a convicted felon i have no issues in supporting donald trump for president united states. i mean, you're running with the convicted felon at the top of your tickets? tainted process not the same. and a lot of my constituents were focused on the fact of the trial not being fair, the process not being fair. and they're upset and they're angry concern you having a convicted felon at the top. >> i think the american people saw what happened in new york. they sought to what we're typically misdemeanors being elevated of 34 felonies but

there were still several other republicans in swing districts who did not want to talk about this just moments ago when i tried to catch up with them, one of them, house mike lawler of new york also is one of a vulnerable republican, someone who is actually not endorsed donald trump yet, he did come out criticize this verdict when it goes a reached it last one week but i got a paper statement, did not comment there. >> another one, tom kane junior, a new jersey republican, another swing digital republican not saying how he views this, whether he continued, we will continue to support donald trump's those questions about for some of the members. but overall, many of those but most vulnerable members, aaron continuing to say, they'll stand with the former president. >> yeah. i mean, amazing. and you asking them so directly one after the other, there was no hesitation they were very uncomfortable with what they were telling you. so how are democrats responding now that they're seeing how this is really playing out across the aisle. >> well there's actually a real debate within the democratic party right now about exactly whether daub, joe

biden should bang the drum should really say day after day, he is running against a convicted felon. use that as a core part of his messaging. some democrats say absolutely he should and down trump would do essentially the same same thing if the shoe were on the other foot, but others say that that is not what the electorate is in these swing states where the margins will make such a difference in a hotly contested race and that biden should instead talk about economic issues, other issues, donald trump's record in office to concerns about donald trump posted january 6 and the like the conviction itself will play itself out. let's surrogates, do the attacking against donald trump over the fact that he is a convicted felon. that's debatable creating to play out and it's clear that the biden campaign is still trying to figure out its strategy and talking about the fact that donald trump first ever nominee here convicted of a crime cricket of a felony, but some democrats say embrace it, run on that because they believe that could went over some swing voters. >> it's amazing that they're unsure, right? just even see

that, that play out in the democratic party. manu, thank you so much. next, we're going to take you inside today's heated hearing with dr. anthony fauci so you said about four or five things congressman, that would just not true well, we have emails just perlis, who you don't plus the us responds after north korea has now sent roughly 1,000 balloons fill with trash to south korea longer an actor remains in the shadows because then the characters of marriage, power, celebrities, money, they used it like a weapon kevin didn't have a normal childhood. >> i think acting was a way for him to escape. >> i could smell him i was inappropriately touched on sat will never worked in hollywood if i the message to kevin has to be it's over, it's over for you yeah. introducing ned's

joined the whisker family and try literal bought today i'm under raju on capitol hill. this is sienna tonight, dr. anthony fauci grilled on capitol hill for more than three hours, fending off

republican accusations of covid cover up and defending the us response to the pandemic. now republicans focused much of their time hammering fauci on the viruses origin why was it so important the virus not have started in a lab, wasn't so important that the virus not we don't know we know is important to someone in the biden administration is so much so that the top people at met at the top people at facebook are asking, why are we getting all this pressure to downplay the lab? league theory? >> what does that got to do with me? >> i'm asking you because you're the expert on coronavirus. i'm saying why did you cite this article at the white house? because the nih direct director asked you to suppress the lab-leak theory i did not do that in response to anybody suggestion to suppress anything, and i did not edit any paper as shown in my official testimony. >> so you said about four or

five things congressman, that would just not true well, we have emails to prove it. >> well, you don't well, the assault was relentless and at one point, the republican chairman actually had to admonish one of his own members for totally inappropriate behavior. marjorie taylor greene refused to address dr. fauci by his name? >> do the american people deserve to be abused like that, mr. fauci, because you're not dr. your mr. fauci and my few minutes, i've instructed her to address him as doctor and i addressed doctor. we should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity how front now congress one row ruiz, he is the ranking democrat on the subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. he questioned dr. fauci during today's hearing. also, a former er doctor. so dr. ruiz

at congressman raise. thank you very much for being with me but you just heard marjorie taylor greene there, that refusal to use the or a dr for dr. fauci, he has of course, a doctor what's it like to sit in the room and have that happen? obviously, the republican chairman of the committee admonished her well, it was it was very difficult to experience, but it was in cleared display that the republicans had extreme behavior with extreme accusations that have been debunked over and over again. >> but it seems like it doesn't matter for them because they are still pursuing being this very false narrative that somehow dr. fauci funded this research through ecohealth that created the covid-19 pandemic and he tried to cover it up and suppress the truth and bribe officials to change their mind all of that is absolute nonsense. and we spent so much time and energy trying

to address that narrative there. them trying to prove it and not getting to the real business of preparing and propene, preventing the next viral pandemic, which is crucial and i want to ask you about, but on that lab-leak theory, i remember when senator tom cotton first came out with an article commentary about that, it was very hastily swept do you feel comfortable at this point that you know why that happened do you feel comfortable that that really was just because they felt they had other things to focus focus on at the time and it wasn't worth talking about at that moment or do you still have questions as to why that was really shunted aside and put as sort of the verb at the time, you're really out there talking point. well, i think that the whole notion of the lab leak was bundled with the completeness heritage that i had just mentioned about dr. fauci, dr. collins creating the

coronavirus pandemic and that it leaked. now, if you dissect the possibility that this could be a actual lab leak vert from the whole extreme accusations then one can say, and we still say this based on the evidence that we have, that indeed it could be a lab iq or and it could also be an animal transmission origin. but it was not the entire package of the narrative that they were trying to push that is, manufacturers distrust and puts a lot of public health's lives in jeopardy through these violent death threats that they've been getting he talked about those. he did also talk about some things that he conceded on he conceded, for example, congressman, that there's no scientific basis for the six feet distancing rules. >> he conceded there may have been negative repercussions to vaccine mandates do you still feel that he did the best that

could have been done i think that he did the best that he could have been done under the circ*mstances which he explained very early on, where we have thousands of people dying from this novel virus. >> and we were fake figuring things out as we win. and with more data, we were able to adjust. now, let me backup for a second because the republicans tried to put the attack on the node date now for the six feet of social distancing as an attack on the basic public health principle of social distancing when you have an aerosolized or droplet transmittable virus from somebody's mouth. now, it doesn't take data to show you that if you jump off an airplane without a a parachute, you're going to die. so we know that if you are far away from a person's ability to extract or cough or sneeze aerosolized droplets that you're going to be safer from risk saving that droplet or

aerosolized virus into your eyes, your nose, your mouth. now the question that was asked is, was, was there any evidence to show whether it should have been six speed or ten feet, or 50 yards, or three feet. and that is no. so they had a pick, an arbitrary number to make it easy for people to understand the concept of social so distancing. >> all right, what congressman, i appreciate your time. thank you very much, congressman. dr. ways appreciate it. >> thank you. >> next trump trending in china, images of the former president in an orange jumpsuit are going viral and state media is going all in on trump's guilty verdict how come? while a special report is next on that crucial and this election season which sayyed what china beyond and ukraine claiming it using western wipe weapons to strike inside russia. >> i'm going to speak to investigative journalist christo grozev, is new reporting on those strikes tonight for you some times, the best thing you can do with

up beijing and weakening washington on the world stage trump's legal troubles fueling chinese state media is ongoing narrative of american democracy in decline a stance summed up by this chinese academic, the attitudes of both parties reflect the rightness of american politics and the law now seems to be used as a political weapon. >> bandwidth. so, so proceeded shore just alex from beijing says, in the united states, you can still run for president even if you have a felony or have committed a crime, this kind of thing is unimaginable in china when a student says, if trump can still become president after being convicted, i think he may try to use his power to wash the charges it's politics says, shall yet the multiparty system will have such problems. china does not have such problems because of the one-party system the comment echoes china's larger narrative that the us is a superpower in decline, a

democracy marred by its function, division, chaos that ultimately benefits beijing well, you know, it's, it's amazing to watch all that commentary and hundreds of millions of views on some of these things. >> obviously tuesday morning where you are and all of this i guess a welcome distraction for china given what happened on this day, 35 years ago 1989, june 4th, the tenement square massacre, which is being marked here in taiwan. >> but any discussion of that is banned in china were probably being blocked. our signal probably being blocked in china right now, although i'm not looking at a live picture of our beijing bureau to see that china is basically not just watching what's happening in the us from the sidelines they are actively trying to influence american opinion ahead of the november election. erin. and so even though inside their country tree, any discussion of anything controversial gets the

color bars that you're seeing on screen there. they want to sow discord and amplified divisions inside the us. you heard that from the us secretary of state, antony blinken and social media campaigns. and it's also trying to influence chinese opinion about the us. interesting that they're allowing that movie civil war to play in theaters this week that you just let a handful of foreign films in, but they want the chinese audiences to see that one. >> all right, well, thank you very much. an amazing bars and tones. it literally happened well, when you said the words tiananmen square, they went to bars and tone your entire report. we're still on bars and tone. this is a live picture from our base using bureau, but will when you were doing your entire report on the a hundreds of millions of views and all these things that that air in full they obviously, as you point out, state media sanction that but the words tiananmen square bars and tone. i will thank you very much. and also, tonight the us condemning north korea, which is now sent about 1,000 giant balloons across the border to south korea. and they're full of garbage it's obviously quite a

ukraine permission to carry out limited strikes inside russia using american weapons top russian official responding to the strike with a warning that the us will feel the consequences for this upfront. now, investigative journalist christo grozev, who's on russia's wanted list and also of course, you did the film navalny and have a new film out now i'm going to talk about in a moment, but is ukraine right now in from your reporting using american weapons to strike russia and i believe you've got to new reporting about this strike that. happened against the surface to air missile system, correct? >> yes. there's no question that it is the first use of american weapons into russian territory, into what the russians called old russian territories. we saw sufficient sleep convincing videos today and even the russian military reporters are conceding that this was american weaponry. this was a type of himars. it was the mls, the vehicle driven. hi maurice and we could identify at least two vectors from which it came. but what is interesting, it came from near the border need near the actual

frontal line, not from somewhere very deep inside ukrainian territory, but yes, it is the first time that belgorod was hit with american weapons and when when the russians warned of consequences to the us, you take that seriously what they will have to do something for domestic audience to show that they're avenging of that, but that will probably indicate will come up with something that they will fabricate those say that they've just hit a sort location with a lot of american instructors or something that's what they typically do for an immediate relief of the problem with them having been hit with the american weapons i don't think they will at this point. there to attack non non ukrainian targets on ukraine targeting as an american targets. all right, now, i mentioned your other film, antidote. it premieres this week in new york, christo and that's why i mentioned alexey navalny. your investigative work uncovered the fsb unit what happened? to alexey navalny, the novichok poisoning. this film goes through what happened to you.

now and how people are even now that you are on the russia's wanted list, there are people that you've been tracking who had been trying to kill you i want to play a clip from it. >> i may have to change the place of life for my family because local police is telling mediators is not an easy place for you to be protected there are way too many versions, way too many potential spies here that we are aware of i understand exactly how putin operates and now i know i'm part i've again oh, people watch the film because you also talk about how, when there was a decision to be made about whether you want to turn back, who is too late, but decision already been made. you had done the investigative reporting how how close are you to ever feeling safe again it depends on how long will have bad actors sort of running code

countries. and i don't think that's going to be anywhere in the near future. so i think that is in the past. the question is how much can we do as journalists to accelerate the demise of terrible regimes? >> well, one thing that you have done in this also is in the film you found one of the top scientists in russia who had basically perfected novichok perfected it and made it, made it maybe the killen agent it is. but then he finds out that it's a killing agent. >> and you actually film his defection from russia. yeah, that's what the film star but as it was going to follow the story of a whistleblower of somebody who is going to redemption, somebody who is part of the novichok creation and upgrading and research and development system of russia. then suddenly he, he gets a conscience and he realizes that these weapons, that is these chemical weapons he is helping design are not really used for terrorists that he was led to believe against terrorist. they're actually used against peace compatriots and people who are just speaking up. and he decided to speak
