Well, you know, basically, the general assembly has had 140 countries vote to condemn the invasion. the security council couldnt do that because china and russia obviously were abstaining. so, ithink, basically, they have moved in that direction. the international criminal court — which is not technically part of the un — has indicted president putin, so theyre doing what they can but youve got to remember when youve got great power politics, its very hard for an international organisation t...

They abstained again. if youre vladimir putin, you dont want your best buddy in the world abstaining. we are not abstaining in our support for ukraine. that is the good news. the bad news, theyre also criticizing us, blaming us, and, as we heard over the last several days, made public at the munich security conference, when vice president harris called them out on it, i was there in the room when she said it, there are some intelligence reporting that suggests there are not even changing their p...

Stability, even though theyd like to see an example that could justify them invading taiwan, im sure, they prefer a more stable world, generally speaking. could china, potentially, be used in a row for a good here at some point? >> maybe. so far, id say, she jinping is trying to have his cake and eat it too. he is not supporting putin the way putin would like. he didnt endorse this war. a year ago, there is a vote at the un general assembly, they abstained. there was one the other day, they abst...

Sentiments on that issue. and youre right to highlight... its a pretty strong indicator, kishore, its 1111 countries, and there is consistent solidarity from so many nations across the world. why are countries like india and china, in your view, abstaining? well, let me give you an even more powerful indicator. 85% of the worlds population has not imposed sanctions on russia. 85%! now thats a stunning figure. and that figure indicates in countries like brazil and south africa, and china and indi...

Invasion of ukraine, which took place exactly a year ago. the motion, which calls for the withdrawal of troops from ukraine and a halt to fighting, was backed by 1m nations with 32 abstaining and seven, including russia, voting against. lets speak now to our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, in kyiv. james, the russians thought this would be a short invasion and kyiv would be a short invasion and kyiv would be a short invasion and kyiv would be on their hands by now. he we are, year on. i...

Saying, hey, get through this vote. make sure jeffries doesnt become speaker. but thats the math. 11 republicans voting present and then every democrat continuing to vote for jeffries. this, by the way, the democratic unity on this, thats the other variable, it sounds like an easy thing. this is the first time in more than a decade you had a speaker vote where every democrat has been present and every democrat has been voting for the democratic candidate for speaker. you havent seen a couple dem...

Texas, that meant five republicans had voted for somebody other than kevin mccarthy, and just mathematically at that point, as long as every democrat votes for hakeem jeffries and he again finishes with 212, there is no way, even when you get into scenarios involving people voting present or abstaining, there is no way for kevin mccarthy to win on this ballot. so sixth ballot, kevin mccarthy, barring something totally unforeseen and frankly inconceivable at this point, is going to go down to def...
