charges and they arrested her one week before vladimir putin invaded ukraine. they claim she had vape cartridges containing hashish inside her luggage they accused russia of wrongfully detaining griner and they insist the arrest was not politically motivated. they questioned two of the prosecution's witnesses today including an airport customs employee that searched griner. media access is tightly restricted and a u.s. embassy official was able to speak to griner in the courtroom today. >> she is doing as well as can be expected in these difficult circumstances and she asked me to convey that she is in good spirits and is keeping up the faith. >> i can assure you that the united states government at the very highest levels is working very harld to bring ms. griner as well as all wrongfully

detained u.s. citizens safely home. >> griner has not entered a plea yet. her n hearing is scheduled for thursday let's bring in william pomerantz, the acting director of the wilson center's institute. they say she is wrongfully detained here. does she have any fair shot at all at a fair trial in russia? >> no, she does not. russia has a severe bias against criminal defendants and they are co convicted at a 99% rate and griner does not have a chance in a russian court. how do you see this thing unfolding from here. >> i think it will be a long trial, and i think in light of the -- the clip that you showed just before this episode, i think it is going to be a political trial in the sense

that griner was arrested just before the invasion of ukraine just before the imposition of sanctions, and just before the assembling of weapons to ukraine. so i think russia wants to get some sort of effort and this is the way they can do it >> so is the russian goal here a trade, one of ours for one of theirs and the old-fashioned cold war style here? is that what they're trying to do it? >> and they have also hinted that they want someone like victor boot, an arms dealer to be exchanged for griner. >> is that what we can agree to? an arm arms deal, although the spokesman from the embassy said i want to get all of the unlawfully detained persons in russia back home if we want to do that it requires us to make a deal >> yeah. that's tough for her family,

too, watching all this dealing and wheeling going on at the international level and they just want their family member back what's the big warning for any americans still traveling in russia after all of this are they at risk right now >> i think anyone traveling to russia is at risk because of the tensions between the united states and russia. maybe they won't plant evidence on them or so forth, but any american visiting russia who is engaged in various types of activities, there is a risk that they could be caught up in a similar situation and face also significant things as well. >> what's the best solution for the griner family. should they push for more publicity for this or should they keep it on the down low and keep it very quiet and out of the headlines so it's not embarrassing for him to trade

her for something else. >> i don't think the feelings of v lad mevladimir putin is a vial opt i havable option that is the only way britney griner will come home. >> attention, attention, attention. thank you for your insights. we appreciate that tonight lawmakers concerned about censorship and hate speech on social media and in one state lawyers could soon be able to take legal action against some of the biggest companies in the game >> the deadline for national gu

yesterday. uber reports the number of rapes is down from 247 in 2019 and that the majority of the rape victims were riders. the decrease came when americans faced pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions. according to uber's data, u.s. rides fell from more than 1 billion in 2019 to 650 million in 2020. the company highlighted its safety measures in its report. more than 500,000 potential drivers failed the company's background checks in 2019 and in 2020 uber has also continued to add enhanced features to the emergency help button on its app using gps technology tens of thousands of national guard members set to face possible penalties now for not getting the covid vaccine. the deadline for guard soldiers expired yesterday at midnight. military officials say more than 43,000 national guard members haven't provided proof of vaccination. that's about 10% of the total force. some have refused vaccination

and others have requested religious or medical exemptions. lloyd austin ordered all service members to get vaccinated. he said those who do not comply will not participate in drills to receive pay, and he warned unvaccinated service members could face expulsion military officials may not enforce that orderamid the ongoing recruiting crisis. every branch of the military is struggling to meet its recruiting goals this fiscal year the director of the army national guard wrote in part, we're going to give every soldier every opportunity to get vaccinated and continue their military career. we're not giving up on anybody until the separation paperwork is signed and completed. now we now know who will receive the country's highest civilian honor next week. the whoite house announcing the

tried to press social media to reporting hate speech. let's bring in tiffany lee now, assistant professor of law at the university of new hampshire school of law. tiffany, thanks. it seems like a big effort to police speech on social media and people have struck down laws on both sides. do you see these laws as being able to get through the courts at this point? >> i really don't think so what we see here are really well-intentioned efforts, bipartisan efforts, i might say, but i don't think any of them are going to pass muster for the same issue that comes up again and again. a lot of these laws trying to restrict social meaddia compani are going to run straight into the first amendment and that's a huge problem, right? we definitely want to protect speech and these laws run counter to it. >> wait a success, decond, do ye

the right to free speech >> it's what the first amendment protects right. so what we're seeing state governments trying to police what private companies can say or can host on their own platforms so that's the first amendment issue that we're seeing. >> one of the things we see here is social media companies pushed back reporting better ways of reporting hate speech. there's so much speech on their sites to accurately police does that argument and the sheer volume of this thing hold any weight with the courts >> it can. if we think about a big tech platform like facebook, twitter or google, the sheer scale and the amount of content on their platforms is incredibly hard to police so if you ask any company to realize if there's never hate speech on the platform that's nearly impossible. >> what could it mean for me, if you'rest onning on my media

account and middle something untoward what happens to me? >> these laws probably won't affect you directly. they're not going to curtail the power of the use tore speak. the problem is that any tech company that has to face uphill battle to comply with 50 different state laws on what speech is allowed or isn't allowed, those companies will start censoring content and that's when it will impact the user program sometimes you try to post something there might be a little bit politically on the line and make it gets taken down before it even gets poefrted that might be the consequence of one of these laws. >> what about internationally? you've got international rules, federal rules and state rules all in conflict with each other and the companies have to sort through all of that. it's next to impossible. it's incredibly hard for any company. we're not thinking just about facebook or google and they often have small start-ups and the non-profits. so facebook and geeoogle can sot out 50 different state laws, but what about wikipedia >> tiffany, thanks so much for
