| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Welcome, Naxios today. It's Wednesday, November 16. I'm Nyla Boone. Here's |
| 0:09.8 | what we're covering today. Former President Trump announces his 2024 run for office. |
| 0:16.0 | But first, today's one big thing. A deadly strike in Poland puts NATO on alert. |
| 0:26.0 | A missile hit Poland yesterday near the border with Ukraine and killed two people. This |
| 0:31.1 | came on the same day that Russia launched a series of missile attacks across Ukraine, |

| 1:24.0 | Right. So, of course, initially, when these reports came out that there had been an explosion |
| 1:28.5 | on the Polish side of the border, this is exactly one of the scenarios that people were worried |
| 1:33.2 | about when they were worried about the war expanding beyond Ukraine. Obviously, Poland is |
| 1:38.0 | NATO territory, so an attack on Poland is an attack on the alliance. But we, of course, |
| 1:45.2 | didn't know where this missile came from, and we still really don't, although, as you |
| 1:49.5 | said, Biden said he thought it was unlikely that it came from Russia's territory. That's |
