Welcome back. i am kim brunhuber in atlanta. in the coming hours, the presidents of the u.s. and china will speak by phone. it is the first time the two have spoken since russia invaded ukraine and there is worry at the white house that chinese president xi jinping will take up russia's request for help in the war. kristie lu stout joins us live from hong kong with what we can expect in the next few hours. so, the two leaders will speak for the first time as i said since the invasion, so how is the upcoming call being framed in china? >> well, kim, it's interesting because according to chinese...

Well-known ukrainian intellectual who has taken up arms to fight the russians, as well as bandages to heal the wounded. and i've talked to the "new york times" moscow bureau chief about putin's crackdown on the free press and what russians think of putin's war. and paul krugman on whether china can or will save russia's economy. but first, here is my take, russia's invasion of ukraine is a seismic event, perhaps the most significant one in international life since the fall of the berlin war wall. this war marks the end of an age but what can we say about the new one we are entering? most impor...
