00:02Washington takes a pause today to honor late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham as presidents, prime ministers, and lawmakers gather
00:10for his funeral.
00:12Graham, one of the Senate's most influential Republicans for more than three decades, died earlier this month at age 71
00:19from an aortic dissection after returning home from a trip to Ukraine.
00:23Two days of funeral services begin today in Washington, where President Trump is expected to deliver remarks during an invitation
00:31-only service at the Washington National Cathedral.
00:33Before that, Graham's casket will be escorted into the U.S. Capitol Rotunda by an Armed Forces Honor Guard, followed
00:41by a ceremony recognizing his decades of service in the Senate.
00:45Tomorrow, the service is moved to South Carolina, where an F-16 flyover will kick off the day's events, followed
00:52by a procession from the Statehouse in Columbia to First Baptist Church.
00:56A public funeral service will be held at the church before Graham is laid to rest during a private family
01:02burial in Pickens County.
01:04Which leads to this, two of the foreign leaders in Washington for Senator Graham's funeral will also spend time at
01:11the White House later today.
01:13Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington Monday night for his first face-to-face meeting with President Trump
01:20since the U.S.-Iran conflict began.
01:23Iran is expected to top the agenda as both leaders navigate a fragile pause in the fighting, while also trying
01:29to show their partnership remains strong, despite some recent public disagreements.
01:34Later in the day, Trump is also expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as Russia intensifies its missile
01:43campaign, and Ukraine continues to press for more air defense support.
01:47Zelensky is also expected to meet with senators later today, as lawmakers prepare to take up a Russia sanctions bill
01:54championed by Senator Graham.
01:56The back-to-back meetings put two of the world's most pressing conflicts on the White House agenda, all in
02:02a single day.
