3:02 pm
pressure to move forward with a critical foreign aid bill that's after new images out of ukraine illustrate and stark terms what could be the region for america's suspending aid to its allies. take a look at this in this new video soldiers can be seen raising the russian flag over the key city of kievka after ukrainian forces were forced to withdraw their adding to the pressure this week, the death of russian opposition leader and staunch putin critic alexey navalny and us intelligence reports suggesting russia is working on a nuclear powered space weapon. this has president biden slamming house republicans for taking a two-week vacation while america's allies are running out of critical supplies and ukraine ukrainian people fought so bravely and put so much on the line the idea that now running out of ammunition and walk away, i find it absurd find it find it contrary. everything we are
3:03 pm
>> now on this issue, american seem to be on the president's side. take a look at this, a new poll shows that more than 70% view the war in ukraine as important. to us interests. but house republicans say the senate, the senate foreign aid bill is dead on arrival, refusing to pass any legislation that they say does not address border security. of course, we should note it was house republicans that tankha bill providing the strict, strict as border security measures in decades, taking their cue from former president donald trump who didn't want to give president biden a quote when cnn's priscilla alvarez is here with me now brazil, the president, he's really going after house republicans. and donald trump on this ukraine aid issue is not clear whether or not it's going to have any effect on the house gop. they've dug in their heels on this. what's the latest they have in this strategy from the white house? in talking to sources is really going to be highlighting the real battlefield impacts of not getting that funding to ukraine. you saw the images there of what that means when ukraine has to withdraw from
3:04 pm
one of its cities because they don't have enough ammunition. and also ramping up the pressure on house republicans to take up this funding because the senate and it passed the foreign aid package. now it goes to the house floor, but house speaker mike johnson has not given any commitments that he plans to put it on the floor and that's what the white house posture is and really can be what they can do on this is very limited now, in private conversations, what they've been trying to do with their ukrainian president zelenskyy and also with their allies as is reaffirming us support and trying to provide some sort of confidence or optimism that this funding will get there, even though there continues to be this infighting and congress. now, when it comes to congress, what we're seeing is that sending aid package is stalled right now because of the two-week recess then we have bipartisan lawmakers, a small group that is trying to propose funding package that also includes border security provisions. though jim, as you laid out there, we've been down this road before and that didn't pan out earlier today.
3:05 pm
we heard senator lindsey graham mentioned that he backs what the house is trying to do here. the small group of bipartisan lawmakers again, i will remind our viewers, we have done this. it didn't go anywhere then today, just part of this pressure is senate majority leader chuck schumer saying, quote navalny's tragic death. now makes it even more urgent for house speaker johnson to pass the national security supplemental. this bipartisan bill currently sitting it's at the speed at the feet of speaker johnson and putin is watching so that really summarizes the democratic and white house argument that this needs to be moved. and if it's not, russia grants russia a win. >> yeah. >> all right. priscilla alvarez, thank you very much. let's discuss more now we're democratic congressman joaquin castro of texas. he serves on the house foreign affairs and intelligence committees. he is also a member of the congressional progressive caucus. congresswoman. great to see if thanks so much. how much influence does donald trump have over whether aid gets to
3:06 pm
ukraine? >> well, donald trump is the republican party especially in the house of representatives. if donald trump says that he doesn't want a piece of legislation to pass or even to get a vote on the house floor it's obviously not gonna get a vote. and that problem really is compounded because you have a very young and junior speaker who had hardly any experience in leadership. and now all of a sudden because of gop in fighting in the house, he's thrust into the main speaker's role and feels very vulnerable. >> and >> he is, he can, there can be a motion to vacate a motion to remove him with one person asking for it and so he's got a very you're voting able position and doesn't want to cross donald trump. >> so canada's process get back on track. there's this new bipartisan plan in the house right now to get aid, ukrainian would also cracked down on the border. to some extent, lindsey graham apparently said it's something he could support. let's listen to that, talk about it.
3:07 pm
>> i feel very optimistic after having been on the phone all weekend toggling my house colleagues, that there's a way forward regarding the border and ukraine, you saying this morning that you are a yes vote on the fitzpatrick house proposal? >> yes. i'm saying that the house proposal, it depends on how it's written makes perfect sense to me >> congress, but what i mean >> does this have any chance of going anywhere? what do you think? >> probably not the house republicans in the senate republicans have been a mile off in terms of their positions. >> and just to >> be clear, jim, i believe we absolutely do should do something to help ukraine to help them continue to repel the russian invasion of their country. and the ramifications of russian success, or russia winning are immense, are just incredible. the for the region and really for the world and for democracy. so we absolutely
3:08 pm
should act with urgency. the problem is you've got a republican party that's in real turmoil. there's a lot of infighting, a lot of chaos, and just overall ineffectiveness to govern >> and congressman just this past week, we learned that russia is developing plans for a nuclear space where he space weapon that could destroy satellites you sit on the intelligence committee i mean you're. seeing russia take this town of avdiivka in ukraine, in the donetsk region it seems like an of course, we saw the death of the opposition leader alexey navalny just in the last couple of days, it seems like putin is really on a roll and there's not a whole lot that stopping are right now, including the united states >> yeah. i mean as you know, i do sit on the intelligence committee, so i have to take a pass. i'm talking about any kind of classified information, but i will say that russia continues to be very aggressive militarily in the region and
3:09 pm
around the world. and they're continuing to develop their military technologies. and so they are absolutely a threat going forward. and we should be doing what we can to help ukraine and to stop russia's advancement. they're not just going to go away. vladimir putin is not just going to lay down and decide to go he's got to be actively repelled >> and i did want to talk to you about what's happening on the southern border. governor of texas greg abbott has announced plans for a military base camp near the border town of eagle pass to deter migrants the 80 acre facility that would house as many as 1,800 national guard troops. what was your reaction to that when you heard that >> well, greg abbott's tenure as governor has been marked by incompetence by corruption and cruelty. and his efforts at the borders so far had been largely ineffective. at the same time hi, and he's managed to militarize these border cities.
3:10 pm
and so i think he's going to end up spending billions dollars more. he's already spent about $10 billion are allocated about $10 he's going to spend it as a political show. even though it's been largely ineffective i mean, can, can the state of texas do this set up its own military based down at the border almost acting like it's some country. >> yeah, i would suspect that he's going to lose some of the cases. the greg abbott representing the state of texas is going to lose some of the cases that have been brought brought forward about his ability to unilaterally do some of the things he wants to do on the border that ultimately the united states supreme court is going to tell greg abbott that he can't do some of those things. i don't know exactly. i don't know that he's put out exactly what his plans are for this base camp. but remember, he's using these national guard artful who never trained for this and still have not been adequately prepared or
3:11 pm
trained for what he's asked him to do, didn't sign up for it. there have already been ten national guard deaths, including some suicides and he's really abusing their service in congress i do want to ask you about you and i've talked about israel and hamas and i want to ask you about some of the growing tensions in the democratic party over this issue congresswoman rashida tlaib of michigan, one of your fellow progressives. she's urging democrats to vote uncommitted in her state's primary next week rather than a vote for president biden. let's listen a little bit of this talk about on the other side is >> awesome or integrated voting bloc, something that is a bullhorn to say, enough is enough. we don't want a treat us support warm award the bombs and destruction. if you want us to be louder than come here in both uncommitted >> and congressman, i know you've expressed your concerns about how these really military is conducting itself in gaza. but as democrats head into this rematch with donald trump, are you concerned about this divide
3:12 pm
in the democratic party, this potential for votes to be siphoned off remember, can democrats perhaps to stay home and places like michigan. all of this stemming over this or from this divide in the democratic party over the war between israel, hamas yeah, i mean, i think it were speaking realistically there certainly is that potential. there's the potential that young people, young democrats are not going to come out in the numbers that you need them to win. in close states. so, yeah, of course, it's a concern. and i have said that i disagree with the way that benjamin netanyahu's government he is prosecuting this war. at this point, jim he there essentially beating a dead horse, so to speak, they are pulverizing a people who have already been bombarded. hospitals have been bombarded. ambulance convoys, people's homes, thousands and thousands of children have died and the
3:13 pm
netanyahu government is made up of several extremists who are pushing this policy. benjamin netanyahu himself has a very selfish incentives to keep the war going because it's clear from polls that the israeli people were basically done with benjamin netanyahu now who as soon as this war is over, so he's got a very selfish incentive to keep this war going. but in the meantime, while he's doing that, people are suffering and israel is not gaining much from the suffering of the palestinian people and the greatest danger to israel is, is not hamas. hamas obviously committed an atrocious massacre on october 7. and i believe that they committed war crimes in what they did. at the same time, hamas does not have a navy to mostest and have nuclear weapons. hamas is not the greatest military threat to israel. the greatest military threat to israel is to allow benjamin netanyahu i want to continue doing what he's doing, which would spark a regional
3:14 pm
war or regional conflict with stella states like iran and actors like hezbollah. the houthis, and others who basically gang up on israel. that would also draw the united states into a larger war and so i support a ceasefire. i support efforts at a peace agreement that brings a hostages back from gaza to israel but so far you've got somebody in benjamin netanyahu basically has no incentive to do those things all right, congressman joaquin castro of texas. thanks very much for your time. appreciate it >> thank you. >> and a quick programming note. make sure to tune in tonight as laura coates examines the case of the united states versus donald j. trump, what exactlyre the charges? how strong is the evidence that's the whole story with anderson cooper? tonight at eight on cnn. still ahead, new cnn reporting on how vice president kamala harris is trying to boost her in as you're live in the cnn newsroom

>> i'm lauren fox on capitol hill, and this is cnn >> tonight, new cnn reporting on efforts by vice president kamala harris to boost her image and push the biden harris team to its second term. it comes as harris continues to face gop attacks, including from presidential candidate nikki haley >> my concern is we cannot have kamala harris as president. we can't chance this. we have to make sure we win this because the thought of kamala harris being president should send a chill up every american can spine. >> cnnc dovere is here with more on all of this. isaac, even some democrats have wondered if president biden is going to replace her or should replace her and say it's not that's not going to happen. but she has been i guess, speaking out a little bit about how things could be a little bit better inside this
3:20 pm
reelection campaign. >> yeah, and doing it with a series of meetings, session, some of it has been on the sidelines of the congressional christmas party at the white house. and he was on air force two at eva longoria is house chatham meeting and a bunch of sessions at the naval observatory over dinner here's our other meetings, trying to sort through what information isn't coming through what she sometimes refers to as the bubble of the biden campaign, getting it from the ground. she has said to people that she needs to hear what's going on and then bring it back to the campaign to bring some changes maybe of how they're going about this and for a lot of people who've been coming into these meetings are very glad to have somebody listening. one person has been one of these meetings said to me that the bedwetting complaints that the biden campaign dismissing that there's anything go wrong or wearing thin and they want somebody to be listening because they're getting pretty panicked about where the campaign is. this point. >> what does she see as the solution here? i mean, because
3:21 pm
she has some ideas, what is you want it? what does she tried to get into that bubble? >> well, look, for example, one big focus which standard on getting black men to be re-engaged with the campaign and connected to the campaign. she talks a lot in these meetings about how she says, i don't think we're going to lose to donald trump. but we might lose to the couch, to people staying home looking about how to engage people. she taught. she's talk to debbie dingell, though congresswoman from michigan about what's happening with the way arab americans have responded to the situation in gaza and how they're voting on it. like you saw with russia to leave in the last block rise, saying to not to vote for biden this there's a big thing that's going on in all of these are things that she has been talking to people about governors and michigan and wisconsin, and pennsylvania were at the naval observatory last saturday afternoon talking about what to do and what's bringing through abortion messaging immigration and border control, and how that's being talked about. these are all part of what she feels needs to be a bigger part of how they're orienting what
3:22 pm
they talked about on the campaign and what they're doing all right, interesting stuff. as always from isaac. isaac, thank you very appreciate it justin, to cnn, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the release of hostages in gaza can be achieved through a strong military action and quote, very tough negotiations. he added that there even if there isn't a hostage deal. israel has to finish the job to get quote, total victory. this comes as families and the other middle east hotspot, israel traveled to the egg, to the hague to file a war crimes complaint against hamas. cnn's jeremy diamond has that story cries of israeli hostage families rise over yet another city. this time, it's the hate dutch city synonymous with international justice, where they've come to demand hamas is leaders be charged with war crimes after 131 days because of their loved ones being held captive, the hostage families have resorted to this, coming in front of the
3:23 pm
international criminal court to demand justice. >> but they know this isn't the final stop in their pursuit of justice. >> it's another another step in our fight to be enough families back home. and another step in our fight against hamas today, that step begins at israel's international airport, were about 100 hostage family members arrived for yet another early morning flight to yet another country. another day fighting for their loved ones release. >> they >> arrive carrying signs and wearing shirts and hoodies, bearing the faces of brothers and uncles daughters, and sisters, all captives in gaza >> with shiny, they quote me, those were at in xiaomi's last words to her sister, shani before the phone line went dead on october 7. since then, shani has been fighting for her sister. >> we have optimistic it's been more than four months and what

over ten years call 1808724901, or go to msal book.com tonight, russia is celebrating after a major win on the >> battlefield in ukraine. new video from the key town of avdiivka shows russian troops praise raising their country's flag just hours after ukrainian forces were forced to retreat, there here are the eastern town in the donetsk region has been the focus of intense battles between ukrainian russian forces over the last decade. the defeat comes as ukraine's forces battle a larger and better equipped russian military with multiple towns along the front lines. now in danger are falling. you can see it right there. let's turn to our panel of experts said now cnn global affairs correspondent, analyst kimberly dozier and cnn contributor and former cnn moscow bureau chief jill doherty. kim, let me start with you. we were just showing this map a few moments ago.
3:32 pm
what is the significance of this city falling to russian forces? and what might be in store next >> well, the city is pretty much leveled according to reports from there, so they're not gaining much in terms of a town where they can win the hearts and minds. but it will make it easier for them to supply the donbass region according to ukrainian military officials. but the general who's now in charge of ukraine, he was the guy who took so much criticism, were holding onto bakhmut for so long at such great cost in troops lives. and right now he's gone into conservation mode. both of ammunition and of those precious boots on the ground ukraine is talking about bringing in something like half 1 million new soldiers to replace losses and so he's got to lay it carefully, play it
3:33 pm
more safely. >> and >> that meant giving up a defka and sending a message to the west that their lack of aid is hurting already >> yeah. i mean, jill, is this the moment putin has been waiting for me for so long as we all have been talking about but what's been going on in ukraine we've been talking about one embarrassing loss after another for vladimir putin and russia. the tide is starting to turn at a critical moment, and the us is just not there helping the ukrainians right now yeah. >> i mean, i think vladimir putin is emboldened and there's no question of defka is not as kim was saying, it's not an important town even in the long range significance of this. >> but putin. now it looks at ukraine, the ukrainians are running literally running out of ammunition. he looks at the political field within his own country. he's up for reelection in less than a month
3:34 pm
and his main political opponent is out of the way dead. and then he looks at the us congress which is continuing with a small group of people stopping it. not to be able to give the financial health that the ukrainians names. so at this point, i think he's and judging by the video that we saw a couple of days ago, he's looking pretty happy and again, pretty emboldened and kim, what we know that the europeans have stepped up and i'm just curious, might that be able to put a band-aid on this until the us in the congress gets its act together? or is it are we reaching potentially? a very dire moment for the ukrainians? what's your sense of it >> well, here's the problem. yes, the europeans have stepped up. ukraine is minting deals one-on-one with individual countries, germany, france, the baltic nations, all pledging amounts of support the problem
3:35 pm
is, it takes them more for than a year in france, more than a year in germany to turn around 155 millimeter artillery shells. >> one >> of the main things that are needed on the battlefield. and the us can turn them out faster and has more supplies of them waiting in the wearing houses that can still be sent over. so that's why us support is so crucial. the us still has the lion's share of the supplies that are available right now. but without money budgeted by congress at the pentagon can't send them to keep and just to follow-up on that, kim, i mean how a guy like me or for the viewers out there who just aren't following this day by day and understand the minutiae of it what what happened to the top of the tanks? what happened to the talk of the f 16s and the training of the pilots? are those things just not happening as it just not happening fast enough
3:36 pm
>> some of the training is still going on, but those are all things where they were always going to take months, if not more than a year, for instance, for the f16 pilot training to have a result on the battlefield and those are the kind of strategic things that would have helped if zelenskyy had them early on when perhaps he could, when russia was still unprepared and they could have had some massive victory is on the battlefield. but the problem now is russia has secured its supply lines and russia has secured its numbers of troops going in russia's war times the size of ukraine. so it can just keep pouring the bodies in something ukraine can afford to do. and technology was supposed to make up for that disadvantage. >> and jill, i do want to talk about the death of alexey navalny. i mean, all weekend long we've been seeing these arrests taking place in russia. i mean, i keep coming back to this image and i'm not trying to put the control room on the spot of russian police shoving
3:37 pm
this man's face in the snow. it's just for coming out and trying to observe the death of this very popular opposition figure in russia. i mean, here it is. we're showing it to our viewers right now. >> they've been >> detaining people yet again in russia simply for trying it's just it's astonishing to see this. and the russians just get away with it. and this is, this is putin's russia. now. >> he's in total >> yeah, this, there's pictures are really shocking. the latest figures that i saw, there are approximately, i think it was about 360, 360 six people who've been arrested all across the country. and these do not even protests. these are people who are coming out for the most part with flowers and laying them in various places and in some cases of police just simply arrest them, detain them. but they're taking photographs, they're taking fingerprints,
3:38 pm
and in other cases, they are they have groups of civilian dressed people who come in and grabbed the flowers. it's really just a horrible thing to watch so i that's i think the people who are doing this are extraordinarily brave. because we already know that if they oppose the war and they were to come out on the streets, they would be in prison very quickly. so even to do this has to have to have bravery to do that and i'll tell you, jim, i've been looking at social media and there's a lot of anger expressed by those russians who are saying it's whose streets are these anyway, their hours. so this is a mood that i think the kremlin might be worried about. >> yeah. i just have to wonder. we're watching these images here in the united states to the russians, themselves, to the russian people get to see these images and absorb what
3:39 pm

3:52 pm
something that will blow your mind. take a look at the video on your screen beautiful schotte of a victoria crown pigeon. it's the kind of shot most filmmakers can only dream of except it's not real. there is no camera, no bird. the entire thing was generated by artificial intelligence or ai it's part of a new tool just revealed by openai and cnn's jon sarlin is in los angeles with well, i hope i'm not getting pumped here and that is actually a real bird and we're just being fooled here. but john, we're just scratching the surface here you sent me a link about this earlier in the week, this past week this stuff is mind-blowing >> it is jim. this is exponentially better than anything we've seen from an ai generated videos. already, openai, the company behind chatgpt, we've seen what they've done with texts, with chatgpt. we've seen photos, people create art and photos using ai we've seen audio people create deepfake audio that sounds like it. >> now we're
3:53 pm
>> entering the age where you can create video with attacks were not there just yet, open ai has not released this to the public. instead, they've released videos like this. one of a woolly mammoth so this is not generated from an existing video. this is a text prompt, and so we don't have access to this. we just know what ai is put out there they say you can release videos around 60 seconds long. it can do stylized videos, things that look like animation, like track or something like that, or realistic videos like one of a gold rush that looks like historical footage that is not while, right? that's just to this, so we don't know how it can work. but the results are astounding or how about a news anchor reading the news at 07:00 on a sunday evening. i mean, you know, we could do that to are and then, you know, somebody's like yourself. a segment. we can do that, do ai. i mean, we we're just scratching the surface of what
3:54 pm
is possible now with this technology and it's truly extraordinary. why is open? today? i'm not releasing this. and letting it out of the bag completely >> right. so they say that they're still working on the safety issues behind it. there are red teams which are researchers who were trying to essentially break it to see how a malicious actor can use it. they're working on things they say like watermarking it because we know with these ai hi products, bad actors are at the forefront of using them, right? we're seeing a flood of ai generated this information, right? with photos when audio. now in this world where you can create video that is imperceptibly fake, right that has so many consequences. we don't even know what those it will be until bad actors get their hands on it, right? and as we've discussed many times on your show, the issue that is so vexing with ai misinformation is that we're so much better right now at creating ai than we are at identifying ai. so when you see these videos, it, you know,
3:55 pm
your eyes or your best tool to see what's fake or not because there is no automated system that you can just upload it and we'll say fake or not fake >> yeah. i mean we were talking about this in a previous segment with miles taylor, who is worried about what this technology could mean for our democracy. i mean, there's that aspect to it too. i mean, you could have deep fakes of politicians doing things that they didn't do and so on >> we'll think about our colleagues who work to identify and verify video, right? newsrooms across the country have newsrooms that are dedicated to this incredibly difficult and laborious right? when you flood the world with fake videos, think how difficult it is for people, regular people to be able to discern what is real and what is not. that is becoming the central issue for information for our new information era. >> all right. jon sarlin, my mind is officially blown.
3:56 pm
although i do know that woolly mammoth, i think they don't exist anymore, right. so that we that's a good way of knowing, right? if we're showing things that don't exist anymore, that's that's probably a good tip. but the pigeon there, that one's tough, that one fold me our jon sarlin, thanks so much. we'll be right back >> via ahead. finer, las vegas that's what i want to do. >> it's unlike anywhere else in the world >> vegas, the story of sin city next sunday ten on cnn >> shopping >> online comes with digital threats. so turn on nord vpn steer clear of phishing websites and it corrupt your online traffic. >> get the deal now >> what i think about purpose, i don't know if st. jude donors realize the magnitude of what but they are doing. their donations are funding the
