U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was asked about the recent drone attack on the Kremlin, and whether the United States would support an assassination attempt by Ukraine on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed.
