Has America turned its back on Ukraine? Let's get an update on what's happening, uh, down in the States.

Global correspondent Reggie Cecchini joins us on the line.

Hey, Reggie.

Good morning.

Boy, a new press secretary's rocky debut, a high-profile ambassador sudden exit, and a president campaigning in Alaska with the midterms now just weeks away.

Joining us to make sense of it all is Global News Washington Bureau correspondent Reggie Cecchini.

Reggie, good morning to you.

Good morning.

Mm

... is wrapped up and pushed away quietly.

Reggie Cecchini is our Global News Washington Bureau correspondent joining us here on the Mike Smyth Show.

I'm Rob Fay filling in here on Wednesday.

There's growing concern at home and overseas about his agreement to buy Russian oil, with the European Union imposing more sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Reggie Cecchini has our top story tonight.

Even as the American president claimed the new ceasefire, Russia unleashed another deadly night of attacks on Ukraine, leaving Ukrainians to question whether the promise of peace had changed anything.

I think actually Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelensky.

...

Ukrainians are left to wonder if the cost of a failed deal could be measured not just in diplomatic setbacks, but in more attacks.

Britain is accusing Iran's Revolutionary Guard of being behind a suspected terror plot at a UK air base used by the United States.

And this, of course, just as fuel prices become a major issue ahead of the midterms.

There's so many different things we're gonna get into in this segment, because joining us from Washington is Global News Washington correspondent, Reggie Cecchini.

Reggie, happy long weekend to you.

I don't know if you celebrate it south of the border, but, uh, Happy Thanksgiving.

This is, this is something that, uh, has been a fight that's been escalating, whether it's the ICC or whether it's the UN as a whole, um, u- under this administration.

And yes, there are, are nations that are pushing back against this, but that's not going to make a difference to this administration, which tries to say that its rule, its law, its say is final, and no other organization can change that.

Okay, let's bring it back here to the United States.

Now that said, I mean, look, if it's ultimately live streamed, I'm not going to be watching it.

Reggie Cecchini reports on the intense legal and ethical debate over the execution plans.

It was the deadliest mass shooting at a U.S. military base.

16 years later, the army is now preparing to execute the man responsible and live stream it.

It's the only method for which we actually have trained executioners.

In punishing an act of terror, America now risks turning an execution into the very spectacle of violence it's long condemned.

I had the Supreme Court ruling that tries to balance justice with fairness.

He's urging Republicans to turn out while Democrats are hoping dissatisfaction with his presidency will drive their voters to the polls instead.

Just ahead, saving money ahead of ski season, where people were looking for deals on equipment today, plus the concerns about Super El Nino.

With the arrival of fall, the daydreams of skiers and snowboarders turned to fresh powder and epic days on their local mountain.

But now a federal court is asking whether he actually has the power to do it.

And as Reggie Cecchini reports, billions in trade and the future of the tariff program are at stake.

The American president is continuing to use tariffs and other trade restrictions to pressure countries around the world.

And Wednesday's latest court case involves tariffs on products from 60 economies tied to concerns over forced labor.

Will he, will Trump cut us off? Will we cut Trump off? If the president of the United States wasn't playing chicken with our economy.

Joining me now to make sense of the nonsensical is Reggie Cecchini, a Washington correspondent and producer for Global News, who has been watching so many developments play out from the Trump administration in recent days.

Reggie, welcome back to The Evan Bray Show.

Good morning.
