1:00 pm
gonna hear more from real about how the relationship unfolded and then it all came crashing down. taking edwards political career with her and with them tonight on united states of scandal fred >> all right. hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me. i'm fredricka whitfield big new developments today in the ongoing efforts to bring israeli hostages home from gaza sources. tell cnn negotiations are set to resume tomorrow and qatar, following progress made during talks talks in paris this weekend, the white house says negotiators have come to an understanding on some basic contours of a deal to bring the hostages home. but if officials warn there are still key hurdles that must be clear. hamas has not yet signed off on the potential deal. also this week, the us is sending its top humanitarian aid aid official to the region in hopes of improving critical supply shipments to gaza vulnerable
1:01 pm
population. cnn's priscilla alvarez is at the white house for us. so personal hello, what more is the white house revealing about this potential deal? >> well, fred, a senior us official giving this as an understanding of these broad contours of a deal that would include the release of hostages in exchange for a temporary ceasefire. now, these are talks that included the united states, israel, qatar, and egypt now separately, there have been conversations happening with hamas as well but national security adviser jake sullivan told cnn today that the details are still very much being hashed out. >> representatives of israel, the united states, egypt, and qatar met in paris and came to an understanding among the four of them about what the basic contours of a hostage deal for temporary ceasefire would look like i'm not going to go into the specifics of that because it is still under negotiation in terms of hammering out the details of it, there will have to be indirect discussions by
1:02 pm
qatar and egypt with hamas because ultimately they will have to agree to release the hostages. that work is underway. and we hope that in the coming days, we can drive to a point where there is actually a firm and final agreement on this issue. >> now, hamas has not yet signed onto a possible framework, but the clock is ticking. us officials have said that from the very beginning, but it is right now this time that is pivotal according to sources, they are trying to get a deal done before ramadan next month and also amid this looming threat from israel about it an offensive in rafah, where more than 1 million people in gaza are displaced. gazans have have come together. and so all of this is what they're racing against at this time conversations and discussions are still very much ongoing and they will continue in qatar tomorrow. so this hostage deal still being worked out, us officials have said it's on a deal until the very end when all parties sign off, but they are striking. but if a
1:03 pm
tone of optimism on the heels of these talks, fred, all right, priscilla alvarez at the white house thanks so much. right now to ukraine where the war is now in its third year, ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy, telling the world that his country has no option but to win the fight against russia. lenski also made a rare admission about the grim reality of the war, saying that 31,000 ukrainian soldiers have been killed in fighting. cnn cannot independently verify that figure, but us officials had estimated that the death toll would be much higher are closer to 70,000 soldiers on the front lines ukraine's weapons and ammunitions are in short supply as us aid remains in limbo right now, there doesn't appear to be much hope that more military assistance is coming soon earlier today, cnn's kaitlan collins spoke one-on-one with president zelenskyy in kyiv >> senator jd vance, who was in munich at the security
1:04 pm
conference but didn't meet with you? he said that even if you got the $60 billion in aid, it is not going to fundamentally change the reality on the battlefield. what's your response to that? >> i'm not trying that he understands what's going on here and we don't need any rhetoric from people who are not deeply in the, you know, in the war so i understand it is to come to the frontline to she was going on to speak with the people than to go to civilians to understand what will be with them. and that what will be with them without this support. and he will understand that millennials, people have been killed we'll be killed >> he doesn't understand it because she doesn't understand it. of course. >> god bless. you. don't have the war on your territory and cnn's nick paton walsh is following today's developments for us from ukraine neck
1:05 pm
>> well, fredricka of them is lenski not wasting an opportunity here to make a series of headlines in this press conference on the first day the third year of this war in ukraine, giving us for the first time an official number of deaths in the ukrainian military during this war is last two years yes, 31,000. and he said that it's a smaller number than perhaps some estimates we've heard from western officials, unclear precisely the period he's talking think about, but a stark reminder. i think to ukrainians and the rest of the world of the sacrifice that they have indeed endured. he pointed out those are the russians have lost potentially and it was five or six times as many indeed, some of the western estimates are astronomical suggesting over 300,000 potentially casualties on the part of russia. he also talked about the possibility that essentially what sounds a bit like a unilateral peace process being put under way in
1:06 pm
switzerland in the spring where basically you cranial its allies will lay out what a peace might look like under their terms entirely and essentially offer that to moscow if it chooses to accept terms, which frankly, it's most likely to refuse. he also went asked whether he'd take a call from vladimir putin said, look it doesn't believe that lemma putin even has a mobile phone and the telegram was no longer use since 1917. and more importantly, said, putin doesn't want to end this war. essentially reminding the world that ukraine is still losing people daily on its back foot here he rejected the idea that this is ukraine and its weakest moment and said they will continue to fight on is something else. he said, when asked about us congressional funding we don't accept for now have to fight for our life. >> if ukraine did not >> lose if we will be very difficult for else, if there'll
1:07 pm
be a big amount of victory depends on you on our partners all know, zackie nausea on the western world will be strong enough with weapons. we won't look so small. we will win this war. >> i >> have hope about us congress me off patent, and i'm sure would the positive that it would be a positive solution that it's otherwise, i don't understand which world we're living >> now. it is the end of the coming week when possibly as the earliest that congress might even start to talk about the possibility of voting on that $60 billion. and that really is the ultimate thing hanging over this second anniversary of the war. they need that money urgently. you heard there volodymyr zelenskyy saying thank you, simply can't imagine how the west would leave ukraine hanging like that. he has to project strength. he has to show that ukraine is able to move ahead if they don't get their money. but it's very clear from pretty much everyone you talk to its absence will be frankly catastrophic for the ukrainian war effort. frederica. >> all right. nick paton walsh.
1:08 pm
thank you so much. and of course you can see kaitlan collins entire one-on-one have you with president zelenskyy tomorrow night at nine eastern on the source, joining me right now is lieutenant general mark hertling. he is a cnn military analyst and former commanding general of us army europe, and seventh army. great to see you so we've been talking a lot on this anniversary about us aid being held up on capitol hill. what are you sees the real battlefield impact right now and in the weeks and many even months to come with, usa does not arrive it's going to be catastrophic for edit. it certainly as it is a dangerous situation. because what we're talking about is ukraine facing truly an existential threat. we use that term often and it doesn't mean what we're seeing right now in ukraine, president zelenskyy he's comment that many people will die as a result of this delay in aid.
1:09 pm
we're already starting to see that along the front line on the tactical fights within ukraine in several areas of operations, they are withdrawing from key positions, but they continue to fight. and in fact, from my take, in terms of model uttering, they're fighting, they are doing quite well even as they withdraw to new defensive positions. and the russians continue to try and attack. >> so >> all of the things we've heard from the reporters, all the things we've heard from president zelenskyy are certainly true as we enter this third year of war and the next few months will be critical and when you look at the battlefield, do you feel like there is an area where ukraine has strength or even the upper hand i do fred and several areas we have seen ukraine do very well and defensive operations at >> the beginning of the war for the first 18 months, they were doing extremely well in terms of countering russian fights. when russia went on the defensive and ukraine tried to conduct offensive operations it
1:10 pm
was a little bit of a stagger because they had never done something like that on a large scale. well, now ukraine will start to defend again, and russia still has not proven themselves as being good at maneuver warfare. so as ukraine builds up again, if they do get the support from the united states and the support continues from the west i believe that they will once again achieved what they want to on the battlefield regained territory will have to see what happens with some of these peace talks. i don't think the ukrainian people nor the ukrainian government are willing to give up part of their sovereign territory or the freedom of their people. >> and as we have to remember to russia's still maintains hostages, will call them that they have kidnapped ukrainian citizens by the thousands. children and women, and they are in their country. so president zelenskyy is not willing to give any of that up in terms of a peace process
1:11 pm
that he wants to regain his territory get his people back, and potentially see mr. putin at the hague for war crimes, which he's committed hundreds of us aid isn't the only thing that's being held up. i mean european union had promised a good load of ammunitions and reportedly can only live up to half of that amount. how much of an impact is that going to make >> it's a pretty big impact, fred, what we're talking about is a lot of lessons learned by western countries we get used as a so-called amazon just-in-time delivery or the productions of these munitions some are held in stocks, some are capable of being given to other countries. but what we're seeing right now is the rest of europe is concerned. they're concerned that they might have to to defend against russia. if ukraine doesn't succeed. so there were heralding and
1:12 pm
hoarding some of their ammunition and some of their stocks. were there other which they otherwise would have given to ukraine. so now we're at a very balanced inflection point where can europe and the united states continue to give arms that they may or may hey, not have in their reserves. ukraine desperately needs it right now. and at the same time, ukraine is building factories and coordinating with western nations to try and get more ammunition. so as i said, the next three or four months are going to be critical for both sides we'll see what happens >> and the new york times is also detailing how the cia has been helping ukraine in the war. what can you tell us about the assistance >> well, yeah, i read the article in the times this morning. i thought it was unfortunate that some of the things that were written in that article were released to the public. it could certainly help russian targeting effort and even though many of us who have worked with branch chiefs from the cia in different countries, they know what
1:13 pm
they're capable of and many of us knew that intelligence was being fed to ukraine since the very beginning of the conflict. and was helping them significantly but some of the details involved in that article where we're sorry certainly interesting and went beyond the pale of what normal public should hear but truthfully, that will continue unless congress thwarts the capability of getting more money to ukraine because that's funded by american tax dollars to all right. >> lieutenant general mark hertling. always great to see you. thanks so much >> thank you, fred. >> still to come. nikki, haley's sounding defiant after a major defeat in the south carolina republican presidential primary, why she is vowing to stay in the race and outrage over the murder of a nursing student on the campus of the university of georgia. why the state's governor is slamming president biden following her death the store

1:37 pm
that congress can get some sort of deal to help provide this critical military support to ukraine we're ukrainians have already died because we didn't provide this eight months ago as we should have. they've already lost a strategic village. and i think that it's up to speaker johnson to put this bill on the floor, el paso, it'll pass by a strong ok. any needs to do that so that the aid flows in march. if he doesn't eventually, republicans will get tired of that obstructionism will join democrats and a discharge petition. but that's a very bulky way to try to pass a bill that's only happened once in my 28 years in congress and isis i suspect that will be getting the aid to ukraine in april. it unless speaker johnson is willing to relent in march, we'll time indeed, as of the essence, what is your message to republican
1:38 pm
colleagues who are reticent? about any more aid to ukraine >> it is so much better for wars to be fought by other people on their territory without, without the cost and the loss of american lives becomes when american troops are deployed here you have ukraine that is serving as a bulwark between russia and nato countries that we are obligated to defend. notwithstanding what trump may have said. and their success in defending their own countries is just critical to us. may can't do it. they haven't i've been able to do it this last month because we have not provided the artillery shells and other assistance. >> do you think congress is ready to accept responsibility if ukraine ultimately falls to russia >> no politician will accept
1:39 pm
responsibility for the harm that they do. but of course, they should. and while they may not accept the responsibility, i think you in the press will put it there. this is a bill that's not only critical to ukraine, it's critical that israel is critical to taiwan is critical as the humanitarian needs, not just in gaza and ukraine but also in tigray and armenia. this is a bill that we need to pass. >> all right, let's zero in on israel the white house saying there is a framework for deal to bring israeli hostages home from gaza, which would include a temporary ceasefire do you think it's viable? do you see this happening? >> no deal is a deal until all the elements are established. one of those elements will have to be, is it all the hostages that are released or just some and the hamas will insist upon the release of certain prisoners that had been

arrested in israel, will this be the release of convicted murderers or the release of less sensitive prisoners until we know that we won't know whether it's whether there's a deal, but obviously we all want to see the hostages released and a humanitarian pause particularly one that covers ramadan, would be would be helpful in reducing real tensions, providing aid and providing a system for hamas to be pushed out of gaza, which i think is a necessity. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said today that end to the major military campaign underway in gaza is weeks, not months away and our reporter there in tel aviv also said that a ground offensive in southern gaza seems like it may happen and that impacts some one-and-a-half million

1:58 pm
sprout from the desert in the first place where this come from >> well, i think it started in 1931, which was the year that the state of nevada legalized gambling first state in the union to have legalized gambling. and it was also the year that construction began on hoover dam, which was the huge his biggest public works project in the united states up to that point. and it drew thousands of workers to the area. and what did they do on saturday night to let steam off? and went to downtown las vegas. they gambled, they drank. and that's what vegas sort of started become centers, kind of a fun city and as the years went on in the 40s, what happened was people started to build hotels outside of downtown on highway 91 leading to los angeles which we now know is the strip. and it was those hotels that really launched the kind of celebrity heavy entertainment capital
1:59 pm
that we know today. >> wow. and then so fascinating, just more if you could tell us about that portion of history where black entertainers, they wanted a piece of the action to eat even though they were still not provided, allow the dignities of going through the front door, but they worry eventually allowed on the stages to entertain people and that it was called, as we saw on that clip, the mississippi of the west how difficult was it to try and get to really kind of lift the veil of this story. yeah, get some of these images >> that's yeah, that's part of vegas history that hasn't been told. i don't think enough vegas in those years, it drew mostly people from the south from you know, it was a driving and place. he drove two. so a lot of people from texas in the south and so it really was in the 1940s and '50s, it did have that sort of segregation
2:00 pm
as mentality. and yet some of the biggest entertainers in vegas were black entertainers, sammy davis junior and lena horne and nat king and and for many years, most of the hotels would not, would not serve black people in the hotels or allow them in the audiences. and it was the entertainers themselves with the help of people like frank sinatra who argued that this is crazy people like harry belafonte could not, who entertained it was big court starring in las vegas in the first time he played there, they had to say he couldn't stay in the hotel where he was entertaining. they had to send him across town, the black area well, people like him raised a stink and obviously things changed fairly, fairly quickly in the late '50s and early '60s. >> wow, also fascinated and of course we'll learn even more with your series, richard xylem. thank you so much for being with us. cnn looks bad i got the icis
