00:00:06Live of from Washington, this is BBC News. The US senate
00:00:09passes a sanctions package
00:00:11of aimed at helping Ukraine by cutting off funds to Russia,
00:00:15and now faces vote in the House of Representatives. Thailand's prime
00:00:20of minister pledges new gun laws after a 14-year-old student shoots
00:00:23dead six people a school after killing two of his
00:00:27grandparents. A water. crisis leads to
00:00:31rationing in Puerto Rico as severe drought grips the
00:00:34island.
00:00:44I'm Helena Humpfrey, good to have you with us. We begin with some breaking news from
00:00:47Ukraine where the capital Kiev is under attack from
00:00:51ballistic missiles according to the city's mayor. Now Russian missile attacks
00:00:55have become an almost nightly occurrence with Ukraine saying that it
00:00:58lacks enough ad. fences to intercept them. Earlier,
00:01:02a Russian strikes killed three people in the district northeast of Kiev,
00:01:06and the US Senate earlier, overwhelmingly
00:01:09of passed a sanctions bill against Russia. It aims to choke
00:01:13off Russia's
00:01:14a economy and
00:01:14of bring an end to the war in Ukraine. The legislation targets major buyers
00:01:18of Russian oil and gas and
00:01:20a imposes additional sanctions on Russian leaders and
00:01:23oligarks. The measure was championed by the late Senator Lindsay Graham,
00:01:27and it still needs to pass the House of Representatives where. could face some
00:01:31resistance, that's largely because of a provision in that bill that would
00:01:35give President Trump the ability to impose tarifs of up to
00:01:38100% on countries that are major consumers of Russian
00:01:42energy. Lindsay Graham's sister, South Carolina Republican
00:01:46Senator Darline Graham and Richard Bloomentall, the democratic senator from
00:01:50Connecticut, are among the lawmakers voicing support for the
00:01:55of of bill. An emotional day and very exciting
00:01:57of day for me. Russia has waged war. against Ukraine for
00:02:01far too long and
00:02:03of this bill
00:02:03of assist President Trump and his noble efforts to bring it to
00:02:07of a close. This legislation was deeply important to my brother
00:02:11Lindsay, and I'm grateful that this bill has achieved such a
00:02:14wide coalition of support. He believed that this was the
00:02:18most consequential piece of legislation that he had ever
00:02:22of led. Vladimir Putin is watching in Moscow, I'd like to think
00:02:26Lindsay Graham is watching
00:02:27in as well and proud of. what we've done, because today
00:02:31we send message to Vladimir Putin, you will
00:02:34in not win
00:02:36in this war,
00:02:37of time to come to the table for
00:02:40peace, your economy
00:02:42of already its heels is going to be throttled, even
00:02:46decimated. well, Dr. Galinda Nihus
00:02:50is a former NATO deputy
00:02:52of director for defense and security cooperation, she told me that the
00:02:56bill could make meaningful difference in constraining Russia's warm.
00:03:00if it passes in the house? um, I think the short answer
00:03:04is yes, but it's under the cavier that it's really put
00:03:07into into law, and it's still, it still has
00:03:11to go over one hurdle, but if that happens, indeed, it would
00:03:15be a welcome move, because so far, I think the Trump
00:03:19of administration has not been really spear heading the
00:03:22sanctions, efforts against war against
00:03:25Russia, so if that were confirmed, it would be good news, good
00:03:29news. for Ukraine, but also good news for for for
00:03:33for Europe, and I would argue also good
00:03:35in news for for the US. If you look at the
00:03:38of picture on the battlefield right now, many reports suggesting that
00:03:41Ukraine has
00:03:44of momentum, in but I also wonder whether you think that could be offset
00:03:47of if cities like Kiv, as we've been mentioning, continue to
00:03:51come under that intensified attack? yeah,
00:03:55I think what we are
00:03:56a seeing is really a situation of attritional
00:03:59in warfare uh... both sides are experiencing significant strain,
00:04:03mean on the Russian side the summer offensive
00:04:06has has failed, yeah, they only made
00:04:10small tactical progress in some
00:04:13areas, and Russia continues to
00:04:16terrorize Ukrainian cities, Ukraine
00:04:19continues to strike deep into Russian territory,
00:04:23they achieved to
00:04:25of probably knock out some 40%
00:04:27of the Russian refining capacities. but clearly, I mean
00:04:31they face critical shortages in air defense in particular and
00:04:35increasing civilian casualties uh due to the intensified Russian
00:04:39missile attacks, so uh so as I said it's
00:04:42a it's a war of attrition
00:04:44of which unfortunately continues by now longer than World War
00:04:48One. On that point with regards to air
00:04:51defenses, what do you make of President Trump shifting
00:04:54tone on
00:04:56of patriot missile licenses for Ukraine? um... Why do
00:05:00you think he appears
00:05:02of to have changed his position?
00:05:05Well, I, I guess he realized that it's more complicated than he
00:05:09may have
00:05:10of thought, because it involves intellectual. party rights from the companies
00:05:13concerned, which apparently were not involved in the announcement he made
00:05:17in in Ankara, but I think
00:05:21Ukraine now really has to look into what other options there
00:05:25are, because in many ways
00:05:28relying on these words from from from Trump is is not a good
00:05:32option, so so I think they need to look into other
00:05:36other options which aren't perfect,
00:05:39but there could be this French Italian. and some
00:05:43T battery, which uh is in the
00:05:46new phase, in the new generation, which may perform
00:05:49better, Ukraine could also intensify its effort to
00:05:53hit the threat at the source, meaning destroy the
00:05:56launchers and the production sites, so shooting the
00:06:00archer as opposed to trying to intercept the arrows and in that
00:06:04context, if Germany would finally provide the Tourus
00:06:07missiles,
00:06:08that would be enormously helpful, because they would be highly
00:06:11instrumental here, um so Ukraine would
00:06:14probably fast-track the Frier anti-ballistic missile
00:06:18system together with European partners and uh
00:06:21well if Europeans had the courage they could activate the an
00:06:25old idea, the sky shield initiative to uh to actually
00:06:29patrol the western part of Ukraine and therefore
00:06:33alleviate the pressure on Ukrainians um
00:06:36to um to to focus on the on the eastern
00:06:39flank, you have argued that the west is given
00:06:42Ukraine just enough to survive, not enough to
00:06:46win, do you think that can be reversed now,
00:06:49or do you think it is potentially too late given what Russia has
00:06:53achieved over the past four years? well, I mean, we have
00:06:57lost very precious time since 202, I
00:07:00mean NATO still or the, well NATO
00:07:04still doesn't have a Ukraine victory strategy, I
00:07:08mean the the the closest to that is really
00:07:11the um... Ukrainian strategy of strategic
00:07:14neutralization, which in my mind, European allies
00:07:17and and the US eventually should should
00:07:21support, but as long as
00:07:25Ukraine is not part of NATO or the EU, I think on the
00:07:28broader strategic picture, the the best approach is to
00:07:32conceive the news European defense and security architecture with
00:07:36Ukraine and integrated as much as possible
00:07:39into into our work, because arguably we should... move
00:07:42away, we we should move away from looking at Ukraine as
00:07:46petitioner. Ukraine is much more than that, it's an added value
00:07:50to our defense and security, so we need that mind shift first and
00:07:54foremost in in in Europe. Now Saudi Arabia,
00:07:58Turkey and Pakistan have signed an historic joint defense
00:08:01agreement saying that attack on one country would be considered
00:08:05attack on all three. The countries have been looking to strengthen security
00:08:09cooperation amid the US-Iran war. The deal was...
00:08:12announced a meeting between the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the
00:08:16Turkish President Richeb Taip Erdogan and the Pakistani prime minister
00:08:20Shabad Sharif in the holy city of Mecca. Saudi Arabia has
00:08:24faced direct attacks by Iranian forces as well as
00:08:27by Iran aligned to hoothi fighters in Yemen and the effective
00:08:31closure the straight of Formus has also limited
00:08:35exports of Saudi oil. Well the announcement comes as Iran and
00:08:38Iman continue to work a framework deal to set
00:08:42shipping rots through the straight and I'm
00:08:46joined in the studio this evening by Phil Stewart, chief national security
00:08:50reporter at Reuters, thank you very much for joining us this evening, so
00:08:54just to begin with, talk us through this collective defense pact, what
00:08:58do you think it says about concerns over the threat level, but
00:09:01also with regards to potential support from the United
00:09:05States? well, there's two ways to look at this, all those three countries
00:09:09are allies the United States, but Saudi Arabia has historically... dependent on the
00:09:13US for lot of its protection and it support, and so for the
00:09:17Saudies to now sign this agreement really speaks to the kind of knife's
00:09:20edge of threat it perceives, as it faces
00:09:24real hostilities from Yemen's hoothies and also
00:09:28warnings from Iran that, this kind of pact is not going to protect them,
00:09:32instead its policies need to change. well let's talk more about
00:09:35what Saudi Arabia is experiencing the threat level right now,
00:09:39including those attacks that we've seen from the hooties. inside
00:09:43Yemen, but also the threat level for for Saudi
00:09:47Arabia concerned that they will experience major attack, right? I
00:09:51mean, the Saudis are under unprecedented pressure, and
00:09:54you know, what you're what you're really worried about if you're Middle East
00:09:57National Security expert is new configration between Saudi Arabia and
00:10:01Yemen. you were, there was a war that came to an end, and there was a lot of
00:10:05hope that that war would be in the past, and what you're seeing right now is sort the
00:10:09beginnings of a potential reignition of that conflict, saw the Saudi Arab, you
00:10:13saw Saudi Arabia join the United States on in strikes against a
00:10:17run-back militia in Iraq, that was unprecedented,
00:10:20and then and and actually now you're seeing these these new warnings, Moran as
00:10:24a... pact is taking place, so really movement the chessboard here,
00:10:28and we're not sure what the next move will be, at the same time we're hearing from
00:10:32Iran and a man that they could be close to what a
00:10:36configuration the straight would actually look like, and those shipping
00:10:40roots, I mean, what do you think potentially deal could look like
00:10:43here, and do you think it's something that ultimately President Trump would
00:10:47be okay to say, you know, let's go ahead with this, even
00:10:51if it's a compromise. You know, it's amazing, if you listen to... what's
00:10:55coming out of Iran, absolutely not would, it won't be acceptable to President
00:10:59Trump, but then again, uh, the president is saying that they're close to deal that would
00:11:03allow for the free flow of commerce through the straight, what Iran is saying is
00:11:07that it's going to regulate the straight, all the traffic coming into the straight would be
00:11:10regulated by Iran, all the outbound traffic be regulated by
00:11:14Oman, and and there may even be fees involved, and the president
00:11:17was out publicly speaking about how they have achieved every
00:11:21goal that they sought in these negotiations, how could that be? to president
00:11:25Trump, yeah, it's certainly difficult one to to
00:11:29square, and that brings us to the question if there would still be the potential for back
00:11:33and forth over the question the straight of course, which was open before all of
00:11:37this, what about the nuclear question, of course, something the administration has
00:11:40said was the ultimate aim in all of this,
00:11:43denying Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon, how
00:11:47far off could any potential negotiations and deal be there
00:11:50exactly, right now everything we've seen since April 8th is
00:11:54more or less has
00:11:55been a battle over the straight off, okay? And the big question, the
00:11:59big question
00:11:59that President Trump raises, is the future of Iran's nuclear program, and that is not
00:12:03even close to being resolved right now. Right now, people are just trying
00:12:07to, stabilize the world economy by ensuring the free flow of
00:12:10energy. Everything else is going to
00:12:12have to wait to later date, and we don't even know when that later date might
00:12:16conceivably be, given how far we are away from the resolution these
00:12:19negotiations. And phil, I do just want to ask you what you make the latest
00:12:23comments that we've had from president. about the stockpile
00:12:27of munitions, um, he said today that some US weapons
00:12:30are tighter, but still insisting, look, America has plenty of
00:12:34other weapons and tools to use, I mean, does this
00:12:38change at all, perhaps where Iran might plan next
00:12:42in this conflict? you know, Iran is a real disadvantage when it comes
00:12:46to you, fighting the United States directly, but they're what they're doing is fighting
00:12:49asymmetrically, they're fighting, they're fighting by challenging the United States in
00:12:53its bases, in its countries that... it's has alliances
00:12:57um,
00:12:57but the US has also sought to fight this war using standoff
00:13:01weapons, not fighting directly, not sending troops in as they did in Iraq or
00:13:05in Afghanistan, carving up the country into different commands, and so
00:13:09the use of weapons that can reach Iranian targets with precision,
00:13:13those those those munitions are being used and they've been used at extraordinary
00:13:17levels, and if the US wants to keep fighting that kind of war and playing
00:13:20defense when Iran fires at it, that could be a real problem,
00:13:24phil. du it there, chief national security reporter at
00:13:28Vouters, great to have your reporting, thank you very
00:13:30much. now police in Thailand say that a
00:13:3414-year-old student has killed at least eight people in gun
00:13:37attacks at his home and school on the outskirts of Bangkok. The
00:13:41Thai Prime Minister said the teenager killed his grandparents and five teachers
00:13:45before taking his own life. Thai me media later reported that
00:13:49a school student had died from their injuries and at least
00:13:5330 other people were injured. in the attacks. now despite strict
00:13:57gun laws that punish illegal firearms possession with up to 10
00:14:01years in prison. Thailand has one the highest rates of civilian gun
00:14:05ownership in southeast Asia. It's estimated that
00:14:0840% of guns there are possessed illegally.
00:14:12And our southeast Asia correspondent Jonathan Head has this report. We must warn
00:14:15you, it contains distressing details from the
00:14:18outset.
00:14:23Fear and panic a... secondary school
00:14:26classroom as shots ring out in the
00:14:29corridor, staff
00:14:33frantically evacuated the children, this is a big school with
00:14:37around 300 pupils. police
00:14:41officers and ambulances were on the scene within minutes, but it
00:14:45took time to find the gunman. by the time they did
00:14:49he taken his own life. he was identified as a
00:14:5214-year-old boy,
00:14:54a st.
00:15:00At first, I thought there were sounds of firecrackers or someone banging onto
00:15:03something loudly,
00:15:05but then
00:15:05we started realizing they were not,
00:15:09and then it started getting more
00:15:10frequent,
00:15:13like throughout the morning, ambulances carried the injured to
00:15:17hospital, once the shooting had stopped, distressed
00:15:21families rushed to the school seeking information about missing.
00:15:26so what we know so far is that the young gunman reached the fourth floor of
00:15:30this building and was able to move along firing multiple
00:15:34shots into each the classrooms hitting teachers.
00:15:37and his fellow pupils, what we don't know is how someone
00:15:41so young managed to get hold of a gun and that much
00:15:44ammunition,
00:15:48later in the day, the tai prime minister visited the scene,
00:15:52he says gun laws have already been tightened, but
00:15:56Thailand still has some the highest levels of gun crime in the
00:15:59region, the horrific incident here today,
00:16:03just one more grim statistic. Jonathan Head, BBC
00:16:07News! Nonteburi, Thailand. More than
00:16:10180,000 households and businesses in Puerto Rico are
00:16:14ratioing water with the island in the grip of severe drought.
00:16:18Well July was San Juan's driest month since record
00:16:22keeping began back in 1899. The governor of
00:16:25Puerto Rico said that the situation is out of our hands and blamed the
00:16:29water shortages on climate conditions. Well CBS news
00:16:33correspondent Lilia Luciano has the latest now from Puerto Rico.
00:16:37What you can see of course is this dry ground, we are
00:16:41standing in what is part of Puerto Rico's or San
00:16:44Juan's largest drinking water supply, this is the
00:16:48reservoir that feeds most residents
00:16:52the capital city of San Juan and adjacent areas, this is
00:16:55Carraiso, and yes, as the governor said, this is
00:16:58dire, most severe drought that San
00:17:01Juan and this area in general has experienced in more than 120
00:17:05years, the problem is... not just the dry
00:17:08conditions, the drought, but there's also issues with the setiment, where we are
00:17:12standing, this is all impacting the the the supply
00:17:16of water to people. we are talking about years of
00:17:20mismanagement, underfunding it an aging water
00:17:24infrastructure, all of that existed before this drought. the
00:17:28drought is only aggravating conditions. today i had the opportunity to talk to
00:17:32the president the water authority and i said, look, i understand the drout is the
00:17:35reason why you're having to rashion water. water, but every Puerto Rican who has
00:17:39tens of thousands them, who have seen water shortages
00:17:43for more than three months, sometimes days on end understand that it
00:17:47is not just the drought, so there's a great deal of
00:17:51frustration, people are taking to the streets and protest and
00:17:54demanding change. It's not just this administration, this has been piling
00:17:58on for years, but some the people I talked to uh here in San Juan, the
00:18:02mood is they're feeling like they're not being heard, what they're saying
00:18:06is, look, we are. not seeing the solutions implemented fast enough, i
00:18:10asked about whether the federal government fema could play a role and the
00:18:14president the authority told me, well they have provided
00:18:18some funding uh for some the management, but right now the
00:18:22urgency is the drout, so i said so how do you fix that?
00:18:25and basically the answer i got over and over is we need
00:18:29it to rain, of course that is something that not the Puerto Rican people or the Puerto
00:18:33Rican government uh can solve at this point, no human.
00:18:37cause rain, so the feeling here is
00:18:41top of rolling power outages that have gone on for years
00:18:45and years, worsening after hurricane Maria
00:18:48because of that infrastructure that was aging, that was
00:18:52underfunded and that was mismanaged, now they have even
00:18:55more urgent need for that most important resource that
00:18:59is water. lilia luciano there in puerto rico, now
00:19:03in his first speech is president of Colombia, Abdullah...
00:19:07This per year vowed to restore order and eradicate
00:19:10narcoterrorists as he addressed soldiers a military
00:19:14garrison following his inauguration, well in one of his first
00:19:17acts, Stella Esprier announced that Colombia will join the shield
00:19:21the Americas program founded by Trump, ally the
00:19:25US president, he has offered to engage in joint military operations
00:19:29with the United States and to host American troops in
00:19:33Colombia. Argentinian president Xavier Melle, US acting
00:19:37attorney. general Todd Blanche and President of FIFA Janny
00:19:40Infantino attended the inauguration on Friday.
00:19:44BBC Mundows Colombia correspondent Jose Carlos Cueto Lopez told
00:19:48told US, excuse me, us, what voters can
00:19:52expect from the new president. Well, Colombia can
00:19:55expect and I don't fast own security. Um, deltoria has already
00:19:59promised to increase military spending, has given an
00:20:03ultimatum to um drug traffickers and armed groups, which
00:20:06is surrender to the justice system or face a
00:20:10strong um military action, he's
00:20:14also has pledged to bomb narco camps and narco
00:20:18vessels, which is a strategy that echos a bit uh the one the
00:20:22Trump administration, the trump administration military campaign in South
00:20:25American Waters, which has killed around
00:20:29200 people since last August, um,
00:20:33the lesp also said that Colombia will be joining the shield of...
00:20:37Americas, which is this initiative coalition of
00:20:40security and um and political
00:20:44allies that other countries in Latin America are member of like
00:20:47Ecuador, Peru, El Salvador, it is. expected that as early as
00:20:51today or um or early
00:20:54tomorrow could be signing uh his first and
00:20:57security forders are those are likely to be uh concerning security
00:21:01issues. well it was bad news for the US economy on
00:21:05Friday, new data showing fewer jobs created than expected for the
00:21:09month of July, or jobs numbers in May and June
00:21:13were also revised down. well the US unemployment rate though
00:21:17dipped a 10th of
00:21:18a percent
00:21:18to 4.1%. due to drop in the number of people
00:21:22looking for work, well with inflation still running high at annual rate
00:21:26of 3 and a half percent, the US faces the prospect of a weakening
00:21:30job market alongside higher
00:21:32prices. now Hunter Biden has told the
00:21:36BBC that he is the most privileged person there is after receiving a
00:21:40presidential pardon from his father, former US president Joe
00:21:44Biden. In a wide ranging interview with the BBC's news knight, Hunter
00:21:48Biden acknowledged that his pardon... was not a good choice for America or for
00:21:52his father's legacy, the pardon covered his federal gun
00:21:55conviction, tax case that he plaid guilty to, and any
00:21:59federal offenses committed between 2014 and
00:22:022024. Here's clip from that interview with Padio
00:22:06Connor, here's here's another of his own decisions which is
00:22:10attracting controversy as well, which is a pardon for his son
00:22:13for you, Hunter, and it does lead to
00:22:17critics saying that this is a problem in the... american system,
00:22:21it looks like favor to the family, which is another word that
00:22:25for critics for a corruption, which you've criticized the Trump
00:22:28administration for, do you think that he went too far as
00:22:32dad in issuing a pardon to
00:22:35you? well,
00:22:39here's what all i know is that
00:22:41i
00:22:46am the most privileged person as it relates to... that that there could
00:22:50possibly be, I was one of one, um, and I'm eternally
00:22:54grateful for it, I am eternally grateful for it, because I
00:22:58think that Donald Trump is proven to be exactly who my
00:23:02dad thought he was going to be, as it relates to the
00:23:05revenge and retribution that he would seek on his political
00:23:08enemies, he spent in the first hundre days alone, he
00:23:12mentioned or criticized my dad or me, six times a
00:23:16day, and if I was a uh in the in the...
00:23:20federal bureau of probation or uh god
00:23:24forbid a uh a prison, then
00:23:28I think that he would had hold on my family that was uh that would make
00:23:31it not just unbearable but um incredibly unjust and
00:23:35unfair. He's proven that he does not believe in
00:23:39the separation of powers or the independence the justice
00:23:42department or any of it any of its uh its parts,
00:23:46including the federal bureau of probation.
00:23:50and that's
00:23:50the decision that my dad made. now here's the here's the real
00:23:54answer to your question though, what you're saying, was it good for our
00:23:57constitution? was it good for the American people? was it good for my dad's legacy?
00:24:01no, on all accounts. it was, it, it, it was not,
00:24:05it it, it was, it's something that is easily
00:24:09criticized and for good reason, and i am, i, and
00:24:13i can't pretend otherwise. all i know is that i'm grateful that he
00:24:16did it for me, and all i can say to anybody out there. is that what
00:24:20would you have thought of my dad if he did not do that for me and left me to
00:24:24the
00:24:25uh to the whims in uh of Donald Trump? what would you think
00:24:29of a dad uh that would say i'll i'll i'll
00:24:33put you a prison controlled by guy who's made it clear that he's willing to
00:24:37do just about anything uh to uh to get his way for
00:24:41himself and so but no you're right patty
00:24:45it uh it is um it's it's not fair i was the
00:24:48only one in the world that could have gotten what i got from the only
00:24:52person in the world who could give it, my father. did you have that
00:24:56conversation with him using similar words that you've
00:25:00shared with with me just
00:25:01now?
00:25:05yes, yeah, after, we were very, very, very
00:25:09clear, and i want people to understand this, is that when i say that my dad and did not
00:25:13talk about a pardon is because the fact that there is
00:25:17no way that you can have those kinds of discussions that would not be become public
00:25:21by virtue of somebody
00:25:23uh that uh with the ability to supp and putting under oath asking that. we
00:25:27did not have that discussion until he granted me the pardon. i know why he
00:25:31made the decision now because he's talked about it, he's talked about it publicly and we've
00:25:35talked about it as family and the refer all the reasons that i just
00:25:39told you. hunter Biden there speaking to the
00:25:42BBC's news night. well you're up to date for all the latest you can always go to our

00:26:06'hello there, there's still some hot weather around across many parts of Europe,
00:26:10we have had record temperatures earlier in the week. this weatherfront though has
00:26:14been pushing its way eastwards, bringing a zone of heavy and thundery
00:26:17downpors and dropping the temperatures to a certain extent, high pressure then
00:26:21building in behind that bringing the sunshine and pushing any rain
00:26:25further north into - scandinavia, so got this zone of heavy and
00:26:29thundery showers across eastern Europe, perhaps extending into Romania'.
00:26:32onto the Balkans as well, and you could get few storms breaking
00:26:36out over the apenines in Italy, also
00:26:39some thunderstorms are likely here in the north of Iberia over the pyranees
00:26:43to the south, it's still dry, hot and sunny and some heat beginning
00:26:47to build here across France as well, the cooler air is
00:26:50certainly here in the north around Scandinavia in particular, and we'll
00:26:54continue to see some rain at times particularly so on Sunday
00:26:57into Norway, could see few more thundery showers though breaking out here
00:27:01across France. and onto the Alps on Sunday, those showers across
00:27:05eastern parts of Europe are tending to die away as the high pressure extends its
00:27:09way in and brings some more sunshine. now looking further
00:27:12ahead, there's more heat to build across western parts of Europe, from
00:27:16Iberia through France onto the Alps into the UK as well.
00:27:20further east we are going to find few showers and those weather
00:27:24conditions affecting parts of Scandinavia, but in the southeast and through the
00:27:28Mediterranean it dry, hot and
00:27:30sunny.
00:27:42The wash of blue, that color of
00:27:46nature, the seas, the sky, it's
00:27:50so immersive. If you are fully in the moment, you are totally
00:27:53responding in the moment to everything that's happening, and when you're doing theater
00:27:57that can change night after night, it's a living, breathing,
00:28:01active. thing: I suppose to the outside world, the most
00:28:05visible part the London film festival is the red carpet, and this year it
00:28:09brought out some the biggest names in the film industry. I think there is
00:28:13too little architecture in this world. We desperately need
00:28:16places that bring peace, that bring positivity.
