North America correspondent Joel Gunter explains the political nature of the show's cancellation. Late night talk shows are of course very popular in the US. The late show is an institution. Stephen Colbert's run for about the past decade or so has coincided more or less with...
Trump being in power, of course Biden was president there in the middle for a while, but President Trump's administrations have really kind of shaped the show in lots of ways. And in some ways, perhaps people will speculate, may have led eventually to its being cancelled.
It's a slightly confusing picture. We had this surprise announcement from Donald Trump that 5,000 troops would be going to Poland. He said it was because of his very good relationship with Poland's fairly recently elected conservative nationalist president, Karol Nowroski.
It comes, as you mentioned, just a couple of days after the vice president, J.D. Vance, announced that a planned 4,000 strong troop deployment to Poland was being put on hold. Now that was really a surprise because those troops were ready to go. There was already military equipment on the ground in Poland for them.
And that also got quite a bit of pushback from defense officials and lawmakers here in the US across the aisle. It wasn't a very welcome statement. There are Republicans and Democrats here who are concerned about the US force posture in Europe, concerned about Russia and Russian influence in Europe.
and see the troops stationed there as a really important part of U.S. strategic defense and foreign policy. So Trump has credited his relationship, but as you mentioned, it does feel like a bit of a U-turn after an unwelcome announcement. Joel, can you help us fill in the picture a little bit more? I mean, what role do U.S. troops play in Europe?
A very varied role. There are somewhere between 80 and 100,000 US troops stationed across Europe. So the numbers we're talking about are relatively small and in some ways a bit more symbolic at the moment.
Pääosin he toimivat Euroopan kautta, jotta pysyvät russilaisen agressioon, tukevat NATO-yhteistyötä Euroopan kautta ja mitkä oletukset, jotka voivat olla vaikuttaneet siihen. USA on Euroopassa liittyviä liiketoimintoja, jotka liittyvät nukleaaliin, joten USA-yhteistyössä on todennäköinen määrä USA-vaihtoehtoja, jotka voivat toimia ja pysyä niihin, globaalinen kriisiprosessi, myös treeniä ja tukea asioista, jotka tapahtuvat Ukrainan armeijan konflikissa.
Hänen liikuntansa poliisilaisen presidentin kanssa on ollut hyvä. Hän kiinnosti hänet viime vuonna, kun hän meni. Hän on konservatiivinen nationalisti. Hän on todennäköisesti enemmän yhdistetty Trumpin poliitikassa. Hän on klashattu poliisilaisen prime ministerin kanssa, Donald Tusk, kuten mainitsit.
Donald Trump is not someone who takes kindly to being criticized. Donald Tusk has condemned what he sees as the potential disintegration of NATO as a result of US actions. And he's been critical of US posture on NATO. And that obviously has just not sat well with Donald Trump. Joel Gunter in Washington.
And what next in the light of today's judgment? What are you going to do now?
Ja sillä se on Kuuban valtion järjestäminen, jossa moni on oltava huonoa ekonomin tilannetta, jopa ennen USA-huoltoa, voisivatko Kuubat kiittää jotain asiaa, kuten Venäjällä?
What we know is that there was a series of strikes in the early hours of today on a refugee tent encampment in the north of the strip and in the southern suburb of Khan Yunis.
Israel has said that the strikes were a response to ceasefire violations by Hamas, that Hamas militants emerged from tunnels
into the area of the strip beyond the so-called yellow line, the area which is controlled by the Israeli military.
And that's why they carried out these strikes in the morning.
