she's ashamed. She told lies from the TV
2:52
screen should also made a separate anti-war
2:54
video and she told reporters that she
2:56
was interrogated about all of this for about 14
2:59
hours, then fine for the video.
3:01
And finally released, at least for now, but
3:03
more charges could be coming.

Yes, the three European leaders.
3:21
Took a train at Ukraine's, capital and
3:23
say, they did it to show their unequivocal support for
3:26
the country. They were there while the
3:28
attacks, but even more intense in and around
3:30
Kiev Russian forces, continued
3:32
to push closer and closer the city's limits to.
3:34
So he was mayor, put a a thirty six curfew
3:37
in place saying the Kappa. faces a quote
3:39
difficult and dangerous moment
3:41
the outskirts of the city a fox news camera
3:43
man any ukrainian journalists working as a
3:45
consultant for fox news for killed the
3:48
war zone photographer and journalists were with
3:50
the fox news reporter that we told you about yesterday
3:52
it's who was hospitalized the
3:54
your fox news but out a statement calling it a heartbreaking
3:57
day for the organizations and praise each
3:59
of their talent that's journalists there
4:01
is a small bright spots a report finally
4:04
an estimated twenty thousand civilians were
4:06
able to leave the devastated city of mary open
4:09
the biggest evacuation get from the southern cities
4:11
a more than four hundred thousand people though
4:14
the are now new reports from ukrainians that
4:16
russian forces have taken hostages at a hospital
4:18
there and many others are still trapped without
4:21
essential supplies the ukraine
4:23
as saying that progress in the peace talks with russia
4:26
is still possible negotiations
4:28
are expected to continue today say
4:30
to him
4:34
the federal reserve is such a wrap up it's policy
4:36
meeting today and raise interest rates
4:38
be expected quarter point increase would be
4:40
the first rate hikes and twenty eighteen then
4:43
a central bank may signal even more increases
4:46
are coming later this year to help curb high
4:48
inflation by making it more expensive
4:50
to borrow money in other words this
4:52
move would mean americans will soon see higher
4:54
rates on everything from credit cards to mortgages
4:57
i'm thinking of the federal reserve we do have a quick update
5:00
President nominee to essentially
5:02
be the feds top banking regulator. Well,
5:04
she's out Sarah Bloom Raskin, withdrew
5:07
her nomination. Remember a key, Democrats
5:09
joined all Senate Republicans and saying this
5:11
week. They will not vote to confirm roskin
5:13
in that role. So now the vine Administration
5:16
must nominate a new banking cop which
5:18
is considered one of the more critical job on the
5:20
sideboard.
5:20
board 1/4
5:23
a dose of a covid-19 vaccine could
5:26
be coming by there. Has now formally asked
5:28
the FDA to green-light. Another booster
5:30
shot for Americans, 65 and older.
5:32
Pfizer. CEO said, the
5:34
booster already available is still good enough
5:36
to prevent hospitalizations and deaths from
5:38
covid-19, but that it's not as good
5:40
against infections overall. And the protection
5:43
may start to weigh in overtime. not
5:45
even all public health experts at this point agree
5:48
about whether booster shots are needed and for
5:50
him right the asking a would
5:52
still need to improve their fast to be continued
5:57
we're much more news defending it the first effect

sixty two million dollars in profit

7:00
the
7:03
changing the clock like we did just last
7:05
weekend could become a thing of the passed
7:08
the senate easily passed a bill that would make
7:10
daylight saving time permanent starting
7:12
next year it's called the sunshine protection
7:14
act and if it actually becomes along each
7:17
state would have to choose stick with standard time
7:19
or changed to daylight saving time your rent
7:22
but no switching back and forth backers
7:24
of an all year long daylight saving time highlight
7:27
brighter evenings in the winter and say without
7:29
it does darker winter days can affect both mental
7:31
and physical health critics pointed
7:33
darfur mornings for example in the past
7:35
some parents have worried about sending their kids off to school
7:37
in the dark either way the bill now
7:40
heads to the how if a good enough
7:42
support their to pass it would then go to the
7:44
president's desk for his signature why
7:46
did daylight saving time start in the first place
7:49
the hand it has nothing to do with farming
7:51
we're talking about the history of the time changes
7:53
on this weekend special edition saturday episode
7:56
so the certitude it
7:59
high prices at the gas sound you've been
8:01
paying might start to fall again oil
8:03
prices slid below one hundred dollars a barrel for
8:06
the first time this month in fact just
8:08
over a week ago crude oil jumps above
8:10
one hundred and thirty nine bucks the barrel meaning it's
8:12
fallen thirty percent in about a week reversing
8:15
a big chunk of the recent spike since russia
8:17
invaded ukraine what's
8:19
happening here a few things for
8:21
one experts say oil price drop is driven
8:23
by cooks that maybe other countries like
8:26
saudi arabia and you eat would boost
8:28
oil production to help make up for the ban on russian
8:30
oil the new covered nineteen restrictions
8:33
in china likely mean demand for oil
8:35
there will drop one analyst
8:37
told cnn it's too soon to celebrate
8:39
or rule out another big spike right
8:42
now though another analysts thinks if oil prices
8:44
do say whether at now the national
8:46
average price for gas could get by about
8:48
twenty cents a gallon which is syllable
8:50
four dollars but below record highs
