President biden is also setting plans to provide europe with natural gas? >> reporter: this is one of the issues certainly stems from whats happening. the u.s. cut-off importation of russian gas and oil. one of the big questions is how can europe goes on and have its own city functions if they dont have that access? the u.s. is setting up what will be a long-term plan to import liquid natural gas and also to find other outlets to be able to replace some of what russia has been supplying. that wa...

Did not signal a lot of optimism going into these meetings. the spokesman, dmitry peskov, did an interview last night and seemed to take the temperature down a little bit, making sure to separate the nuclear issue from this fighting in ukraine. he said those should be treated as separate issues. but ukrainian outlets this morning reported those meetings started with no handshake and a cold welcome. well see what comes out of the meetings. >> general, let me ask you how you read this, particularl...

American people know what was said. we know china and other outlets said that brighton had agreed t play nice on all the issues important to this ecp of course we dont know what the truth is because bidens people refused to be transparent about what if anything he offered china in return for their help with russia. not only is china acting as a backstop, it is right now expanding its influence and reach as american officials are distracted in eastern europe. that he is hashing out the fina detai...

Resonate with russians. one of those towns close to the russian border has a substantial russian speaking population, it has had that for a very long time and its also on. i can tell you from having been in russia for a long time, a town valued by russians as well. they were on vacation in that place in the past. zelensky clearly making very important points. of course the big question is are people going to see it and hear it? i was talking to folks that i know in russia. they were telling me n...

Also the russians themselves the kremlin. controlling organs, close, closed numerous -- theres not that many outlets. but they closed the newspapers, and they do nbc mostly media also left -- and they left russia because so you i think were very generous to say that russians back where they started 30 years ago. because in the last five years of the soviet union it was rather open. my fear and what ive seen is russias back in the late 1940s. -- it was before joseph stalins death in 1953. three a...

The media should be asking questions when it pertains these business dealings in ukraine as well as china. but unfortunately media outlets are not getting their curiosity back and pursuing this potential story. hunter biden, the modern picasso is the third rail of journalism. its like he has mopper section as far as coverage from traditional outlets and therefore cannot be touched. so itll be interesting to see where this goes. but i think the answer to that is probably nowhere. yeah, and we kno...

Dumb, certainly. another thing that many of us and i know yourself as well have been watching is how the russian public is reacting to this. we have to grant its a largely closed information environment. they dont see the facts, certainly on russian media. so much chased out of the country, the few independent outlets remaining. independent pollster which has had some accuracy in terms of measuring russian public opinion in the past and it shows that putins support is actually increased since th...

Ukraine delegations, and only after this meeting could be possible. >> how poorly -- what is the situation for free media in russia? how poorly is the communication now where most russians dont even know the truth? >> we could say that independent media does not exist in russia. a few hours ago, one of the best independent, not one of the best, but the best independent newspaper, whose editor and chief is the owner of nobel peace prize last year, so this newspaper announced that its temporarily ...

"welcome to the party, everyone. interesting he decided to show up a year and a half after everybody else." and we are supposed to verify things but that means investigating them, not immediately discarding and shutting them down and saying theyre not worth investigating. thats different. my take is is there some self introspection from these outlets? megan mcardle at "the washington post" wrote this. she said, "i have heard all the excuses as to why this is working as it should. it was unverifi...
