cnn european affairs commentator dominic thomas from los angeles. we're watching live pictures as the guests and dignitaries are waiting for macron at the palace. so i just want to ask you sort of about what we're about to see here. traditionally these second inaugurations are less showy than the first ones. give us a sense of what we might see and what we might hear from macron coming up soon. >> reporter: yeah, in terms of the showiness, this is the first incumbent to win in 20 years. it's been a while since we have seen someone have a second run at this. certainly this time around emmanuel macron since his 2017 victory is toning down the spekd kal, but i think this speech is an opportunity to reach out. it was a very divided election. people were asked for the third time in five elections to vote against the far right candidate marine le pen or her father from back in 2002. so, that's a tall order. very divided, as we saw in the first round and all the debates, voter apathy and so on and so forth. emmanuel macron has the opportunity to capture th

joining me now from los angeles, cnn european affairs correspondent, dominic thomas. good to have you with us. the irony here is one of the reasons vladimir putin invaded ukraine was because he felt threatened by nato encroaching, and he will have nato right on his doorstep if finland ends up joining the western alliance, which looks likely. putin threatening retaliation. what form do you think that retaliation might take, do you think? >> rosemary, that's a really great question. it's very hard to predict what that will be, but it's clear as you just mapped out that everything putin suddenly claimed as his justification for further incursions on ukraine and it backfired, and he has people more committed, and more committed to an increased defense spending with public support behind that. as we saw with the situation in ukraine, the fact that ukraine was not a member of nato or the european union, it meant the western alliance set a red line that they were willing to provide equipment support, but not troops on the ground. and given the fact at this particular moment

thomas whence he was suffering mental health and was seen with a knife. they used deadly force to shoot a homeless man accused of swings a bat at an officer. neither had a gun. neither were accused of killing a person, let alone ten people moments before. but they were both black. and for all the talk about the danger facing police or the facts of a given incident, which do matter, the data still shows that race drives different outcomes here. discrimination and policing shape actions sometimes more than an active mass shooter, which is of course the deadliest emergency police ever face. dangerous to the people police serve, dangerous to the police themselves. and yet you have this drastically different use of force. it's long been documented. police use force and deadly force on black people who are three times as likely to be killed by police. buffalo police just de-escalated an armed alleged mass shooter, and data shows frequently escalate interactions with black people over nonviolent infractions. over 400 people kill in the traffic stops who were una

dominated this year's ncaa championships. and then there was this exchange on capitol hill this week between a congressman and a pro-choice activist. >> what do you say a woman is? >> i believe everyone can identify for themselves. >> okay. do you believe then that men can become pregnant and have abortions? >> yes. >> harris: okay, twitter reaction here. here is one. this is another level of stupid. and when you deconstruct basic truth like gender, all other logic and common sense go out the window. the center cannot hold. tammy bruce, fox news contributor, host of get tammy bruce on fox nation. she is in "focus." you were chomping at the bit. >> i felt out of focus after listening to that. my generation, myself personally working for decades to recognize the differences women experience in society, working to get laws changed and working to get recognition of the contribution we make to society, the issue of birth, reproduction, equal treatment in the workplace because of who we are. because we're different. there is a diff

recently pose for this photo with trump candidate herschel walker, who's running for the republican domination for senate in georgia. last week you made wildly partisan contests in a friendly interview by torture memo author and war crimes enabler johnny you. in that conversation thomas repeatedly used the word we, when talking about republicans and conservative. not only been pretending, kudos for honesty. claiming at one point that we, don't engage in the same tactics that liberals. >> we would never visit supreme court justices houses, when things didn't go our way, we did throw temper tantrums. it is incumbent on us to always act appropriately and not to repay tit-for-tat. >> temper tantrums, what would you call the mob of people beating the heads of comps on the steps of the capitol? i don't know what interpretation of clearance and ginni thomas actions are truly, but it sure seems like we should be getting at the bottom of it, definitely one way or another. dahlia lithwick, senior editor and senior correspondent with slater, latest piece is entitled the biggest mystery of the supreme cou

i'm john thomas and certainly glad to have you with us ukraine, that gas transit operator has announced that on wednesday it will stop sending one 3rd of the russian gas that has regularly travelled through the country into europe . ukrainian operator has said that gas will no longer be accepted through distribution stations. in the ganske, citing the conflict there is offered to transfer all of the volumes to another checkpoint and the russian border count of saga instead, russian export or gas problem has said that that scenario is impossible. gas prom has not received any confirmation of the circumstances of the force major clause. we do not see any obstacles for continuing to work in the previous mode. transit has been provided in full. there have been no complaints from the counter parties. the transfer of volumes to sujata based on the russian flow scheme is technologically impossible. meanwhile, germany's at top diplomat on atlanta burbock has said that on a visit to achieve that her country intends to completely stop is importance of fossil fuels from russia. how may i say we ha

in his book, presidential greatness, noted historian thomas a. bailey summed it up this way. he wrote roosevelt was a great personality, a great teacher of the duality,'s a great showman who dominated the around just as he dominated the centuries. sometimes people wondered if they had any administration or circus. he was a great egoist, a great self glorifier, a great exhibitionist and a great headline catcher, so much that some critics felt that he degraded the dignity of his high office. the masses loved it. he proved to be a great popular idol and vote getter, a politician whose also is great opportunist at the same time a great mayor. so i would say in conclusion, that theodore roosevelt would had been better balanced had he been the perpetual adolescence that some called him, he would have been perhaps a greater, man perhaps a greater president, then he would not have been president roosevelt. one of his friends summed up best the feeling of the american people when he said of roosevelt shortly after the rough riders death, you have to hate the colonel a lot not to lobby

anyone who's seen "thomas the tank engine" knows that tractors are ready to plow. specifically, the m.p. says he accidentally landed on porn after he searched for a type of tractor called a dominator combine harvester. that's weird, because this afternoon, when i typed in dominator combine harvester, all i got was news about a british m.p. looking at porn. ok, so, just your average horny farm equipment whoopsie. except that mr. parish apparently bookmarked the site to revisit. he bookmarked it? is this his first porn rodeo? (as parish) "better make a record of this site. not sure if there's anywhere else to see sex on the internet." anyway, we wish him well. it's a mistake anyone could make. especially if they're searching for tractors on corn hub. we've got a great show for you tonight, my guests are jon bernthal and alton brown. but when we come back, i answer your kids' questions.
