To try to curtail the purchases of russian oil. the big question is going to be russian gas and thats a very sensitive issue both for global markets and for the economies of our european allies. it would, of course, hurt russia but there are multi-sides to that equation and thats something that is an ongoing conversation. but the longer that war goes on and the more brutal the russian attacks are in ukraine, the more the allies are willing to accept some economic pain themselves in return for tr...

Greater area of the so-called donbas region. essentially the idea is they will not repeat the mistakes they have made in other parts of the country, notably the north, at earlier points in this war. you will not see overstretched russian lines that are vulnerable to attack, and ambush. instead, consolidated, dense force in specific areas. u.s. officials estimate that russia has now committed a total of 78 battalion tactical groups to that front in the east. each group has up to 1,000 troops. bia...

Weve seen that in lviv. but there are civilians in the vicinity. sometimes the weapons miss. so whenever you use heavy firepower in cities, youre going to cause a lot of damage and a lot of civilian casualties. the russians are not very sensitive to that. weve seen that in chechnya and syria and i think well see it more and more as the war progresses. >> colonel, always good to see you. thank you so much. up next, a major ruling on whether youll still have to mask up on planes, trains and othe...

And both hanutia and her daughter olya and her husband are living in the surrounding areas of lviv and so far are doing well, but that depends on how the war progresses. i am just hoping it never reaches lviv. >> james, we thank you for joining us today. we wish you and your family the best and that your aunt remains healthy as she is in lviv, and thank you for sharing your story with us as we watch whats happening in ukraine. thank you. >> thank you, yasmin. >> all right, everybody. an amazing ...

Anytime soon. all right, miss rochelle, great to be with you. thank you very much. and trace, this war is certainly reshaping alliances. russia and china definitely getting closer together. we can only hope that it also pulls nato closer together to try and de jonathan, great stuff as always. thank you . the russian invasion continues to force ukrainians to flee the country, leaving thousands of children alone to become orphans. worries of supplies to help these orphans are starting to dwindle a...

Really done unusual things in releasing information and telegraphing his moves. clearly putting him off stride. how difficult is it for the agencies to keep doing this as the war progresses? >> well, i think its the clear intention of the biden administration to push out as much intelligence as a possible to expose what russia is doing inside ukraine. and so, if theres intelligence available about russias plans and intentions to use chemical biological agents against the local population, i thin...

>> yeah. so will it be enough, though? there is still hesitation on a couple of fronts. the first one is how far should sanctions go. companies like germany are opposed to sector wide sanctions on oil and gas. they obviously rely a lot on russian energy. and then there is disagreement on whether or not militarily to impose a no-fly zone because of the risk it carries of a direct confrontation with russia. as this war progresses, are we likely to see those positions come closer together? >> im mo...

Lot of information can be imparted, but does teaching in this form not suffer from being done, at such a removed way. >> it must inevitably, but it is better than nothing. we are watching a huge humanitarian crisis, a terrible historical crime, and we feel helpless, and at least we must try to do what we can. >> how is it being received by the medical practitioners, the professionals? >> well, my colleagues have got back to me and say theyre getting some help and they want an abbreviated version...

Author of the book "super power interrupted, the chinese history of the world." mike, thank you so much for being here. as you put it in your piece, china is too integrated into the global economy to risk being sanctioned itself. as we watch the west slap russia with sanctions, do you believe that china is second-guessing its relationship with russia? >> it seems actually as this war progresses, china seems to be taking a more pro-russia position, which is the opposite of what youd think theyd b...

Long time. he used chemical weapons in aleppo, in grozny. anybody who has been a student of putin for the last 20 years would have said it is wholly predictable. yet as richard knows and everybody knows, it is incredible to see first george w. bush, i looked into putins soul. then you are barack obama, also a light touch on him. donald trump obviously the most egregious. and then we get mad at joe biden for being the only one in that spring to say something, which you guys were saying, which is ...
