- [announcer] do you have an invention idea but don't know what to do next? call invent help today. they can help you get started with your idea. call now 800-710-0020. well can to all of you watching us here in the united states and canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead -- >> every day we make it obvious that there is no alternative to

the fact that the decision on tanks must be taken. standoff on military aid, u.s. and nato allies push germany to provide key tanks to ukraine. we're live in london on the diplomatic stalemate. and blow to republicans as the justice department signaled it won't hand over documents they demanded. how it impacts the biden and trump investigations. plus -- anti-abortion activists rally in washington, d.c. for the march for life demonstration. protestors say even though roe was overturned, there work isn't done. despite intense negotiations among the west's most senior defense officials, determine any still won't agree to send its

coveted leopard 2 battle tanks to ukraine and they won't even allow other countries who have them to supply them about on paper it appears ideally suited for ukraine plus thousands are already deployed to more than a dozen nearby european countries, so getting some into ukraine would be relatively easy. poland for example is eager to give some of its leopard tanks to ukraine but needs germany to issue the export license first. the polish foreign ministers blasted germany's hesitation saying it is costing ukrainian lives. ukraine still stands to reap a lot of new sophisticated weapons in the near term. but u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin offered no hint as to whether the u.s. would be sending its own battle tanks to ukraine. here he is. >> we're really focused on making sure that ukraine has capability that it needs to be

successful right now. there are tanks in that -- those offerings. poland for example continues to offer tanks and will provide tanks if other countries will offer some tank capability as well. i don't have any announcements to make on m-1st. and you heard the german minister of defense say that they have not made a decision on leopards. >> cnn reporters are covering all these developments. melissa bell has a look at russia charging a 19-year-old social media war critic as a terrorist. and salma abdelaziz is live in london on the new u.s. moves against a mercenary group aiding russia's war. but first oren liebermann has a look at the types of defensive weapons that will be going to ukraine. >> reporter: in the halls of ramstein air force base, the u.s. and more than 50 allies stood united on every issue but one. lloyd austin heaping praise on countries for sending more

advanced weapons to ukraine as the war nears its one year mark. u.s. with its own $2.5 billion package that includes bradley infantry fighting vehicles, much more. but what is missing is at the top of ukraine's wish list. >> translator: we have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day we make it more obvious there is no alternative. >> reporter: germany refuses to sign off on end is being its leopard tanks to ukraine. berlin won't budge. >> translator: there are good reasons for the delivery and there are good reasons against it. we cannot all say today when a decision will be made nor what that decision on the leopard tanks will be. >> reporter: on the winter battlefield, ukraine wants modern tanks to retake territory against dug-in russia defensive lines, it is a more powerful weapon for a more brutal battle. the u.s. insists its m-1 is the wrong fit, it is a heavy fuel

guzzling vehicle that runs primarily on jet fuel making it harder to operate and maintain. and with few operators in europe, spare parts are hard to come by. instead the u.s. and others are pressuring german tanks that runs on diesel and it is easier to get spare parts and perhaps more tanks to ukraine. but germany has yet to make a decision. even so the defense secretary defended berlin while pushing everyone to contribute more. >> is germany doing enough to show real leadership in europe? >> yes, but we can all do more. the united states and he have other member of the udc can do more. >> reporter: more may be coming, whether germany approves it or not. on the sidelines at ramstein air base, 15 countries that use leopards met about equipping ukraine with the tanks. poland is the most vocal threatening to send the tanks even without german approval, a rift in an alliance that stands otherwise together.

>> over my 43 years in uniform, this is the most unified i've ever seen nato. >> reporter: polish defense minister is optimistic that germany will come around on the tanks. he said it is just the german defense minister recently started so it may take some time. but volodymyr zelenskyy is clear that time is not on ukraine's side. oren liebermann, cnn, at the pentagon. and all this is happening as the u.s. turns up the heat on the mercenaries serving as russia's shop troops. wagner group is led by an oligarch on the right there in in video. the white house is moving to designate them as a trans national criminal organization. >> it will open up additional avenues for us to continue to not only sanction wagner and put more squeeze on their ability do business around the world, but will assist others in doing the

same. >> and washington is also releasing new pictures of north korea's alleged arm shipments to the mercenaries. u.s. officials believe this train carried the first batch of pyongyang's webs for wagner in november and there will be more to come. salma abdelaziz is monitoring the developments related to ukraine and she is joining us from london. first on wagner, what led to the decision and john kirby touched on it there, but concretely what does it mean? >> reporter: what it really means for the united states is an acknowledgement, recognition of wagner's increasingly important role on the ground in ukraine. u.s. intelligence assessments show that wagner, this private military group, this mercenary army, has been more successful in places where the regular military is not. and what has happened with that according to u.s. officials again is that has allowed that group to rise and its leader, that oligarch, the member of the

close inner circle for president putin, is using this opportunity, using those success he s and gains on the ground to rise within the russian elite. and he's been openly critical of ru russia's defense ministry saying that their forces have not been strong enough on the ground. and there is also concern about the makeup of wagner. the u.s. says there is 50,000 members of wagner on the ground, and that 40,000 of those are potentially convictions. so a real use of the prison population to fight this war on the ground for russia. and then there is the concern about wagner's connections outside of the country. i want to pull up those images again that you mentioned. because along with this announcement, u.s. officials declassified these images that they say show russian railcars in november going to north korea to pick up what they say were weapons used on the ground

inside ukraine by wagner. remember it is not just inside, it is not just north korea that has been supplying weapons, iran as well is accused by the u.s. of supplying weapons. so this is a real step by u.s. officials to try to curb the power of wagner as it rises through the ranks. >> and some of the other major angles we've been covering is whether germany would allow those leopard tanks to be sent to ukraine. you've been watching this. what is the latest there? >> reporter: a rare moment of stalemate among western allies. germany not yet making that decision, not yet reaching that conclusion to not only approve the use of these tanks, of these leopard tanks by other countries that hold them because remember it is germany that has to sign off on those transfers, but also not providing those tanks themselves as of yet. the sticking point according to some reports and cnn did report this earlier this week, is that

germany wants to see the united states and its own teams, its abrams tanks, on the ground. u.s. officials have argued that those are not as practical on the ground as you heard from oren liebermann. but for president zelenskyy, this cannot come soon enough. he wants a decision right now. take a listen. >> translator: today's ramstein will strengthen our resilience, our partners are principled in their approach, they will support ukraine as long as necessary for our victory. yes, we still have to fight for the supply of modern tanks, but every day we make it more obvious that there is no alternative to the fact that the decision on tanks must be taken. >> reporter: this is absolutely imperative at this moment. remember russia had suffered weeks if not months last year of serious battlefield losses, but we're now seeing russian troops gaining that momentum again able to make gains on the ground in places, and this could make a critical defense on the

battlefield ukrainian officials say. >> appreciate it, salma abdelaziz in london. done londo. and later we'll talk about the economic price for the invasion. former deputy minister will talk about whether the international sanctions are working. still to come, arrested for allegedly storming the u.s. capitol during the january 6 attack. and plus as the investigation into president biden's mishandling of classified documents pushes ahead, the white house is staying on its message by staying off the topic of the controversial paperwork. and seven months after the overturning of roe v. wade, anti-abortion activists are pushing their agenda hard to the right and taking them away from donald trump. what it could mean for the 2024 election. stay with us. even the most chill of parents know when it's time to go into protect mode. nothing kills more v viruses on more surfaces

the claims say that brooin com bryan kohberger went there twice and ordered vegan pizza. the restaurant denied the report in a facebook post. the reporter who worked on the story described to erin burnett what he was told. >> he had certain dietary requirements and he wanted to make sure that none of his food had touched animal products. so this is a pizza place that has vegan options that are far beyond like a pineapple pizza but are actual vegan pizzas. and he was always ordering those. >> again, that bizarre obsession stood out. and instagram, you reported that there was an instagram account that authorities believe belonged to kohberger. we haven't confirmed it, but you said it sent a serious message to one of the victims saying hey, how are you, and kept doing

it. what more have you learned about that? >> none of those messages were strange, none of those messages were aggressive or threatening or anything like that. but, yeah, he was trying to make some sort of contact with this person. and so he was sending notes saying hey, how are you. but police believe that those actually went into another folder because she wasn't following him back. and so she may not have ever seen them. >> cnn hasn't been able to verify this reporting. a gag order prevents parties in the case commenting beyond what is in the court record. kohberger has not yet entered a plea but an attorney who handle believes he will be exonerated. the u.s. justice department likely will not cooperate into the investigation of the mishandling of classified

documents by joe biden. that was a message sent by jim jordan. the committee accused of doj of being scared to cooperate with the probe into how sensitive paperwork ended up in the president's home in delaware. some democrats are urging the president to be open about what happened. listen to this. >> i want to see complete transparency on how this is handled and brought forward to the american people. i'm convinced there was no intent by the president to do something that was wrong. >> do you think this hurts him politically, are you concerned about that? >> well, this is a matter that needs to get -- the president needs to get behind. he has to get all the information out. he has to square it away and make it clear there was no intent here, that it was kept in a place that did not compromise national security of america and that there are steps in place today to make sure this does that happen in the future. >> the white house is focusing hard on shifting the focus away from the investigation. chief white house correspondent phil mattingly reports.

>> reporter: for president biden on the two year anniversary of being sworn into office, the issue that had been consuming his administration the better part of two weeks was nowhere to be seen. when the president appeared publicly speaking to members of the u.s. conference of mayors, a lengthy appearance in which the classified documents that are now being investigated never came up at all, what the president wanted to talk about is his success on his agenda items, legislative success in the first two years which really laid the fwrund work for the year ahead. that is what they want to focus on. also the plirl and legislative opportunities they see in that year ahead even as house republicans hold the majority for the first time since biden has been in office. to some degree this is a critical part of their strategy as it pertains to the investigation. once again, not answering any questions about that investigation that is now under way, instead focusing on the president's agenda, focus cussc

cussing on what they wand to conference. obviously the investigation is critical to white house officials. at least the team that is working on it. they know it poses risks but they also know they don't have any control over where the special counsel ends up taking things. but senior white house officials believe when it is all said and done, it will show that they did the right things in terms of those documents found in two different locations and what people care most about, particularly the people who may be voting for the current president in 2024 is far more about the economy and policy issues they have pursued than any kind of investigation. it is a calculation, to some degree a bet, but one white house officials and the president as well believe that it is very much the case. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. battle over raising the u.s. national debt limit is heating up as the government officially hit the ceiling on how much it is allowed to borrow to pay its

bills. that threshold was reached on thursday at $31.4 trillion. ist secretary yell been warns te is a global ricksk of default. here is what she told christiane amanpour. >> failure to make payments that are due, whether it is to bond holders or to social security recipients, to our military, would undoubtedly cause a recession in the u.s. economy and could cause a global financial crisis. >> hard line republicans who control the house with a slim majority are demanding spending cuts before they will vote to raise the debt ceiling. it is a position the white house won't consider saying in a statement, quote, house republicans should think very hard before they spend months telling the american people that they want to reverse the best unemployment rate in 50 years in order to slash medicare and

social security. lead investigator examining the leak of a u.s. supreme court draft opinion last year says that all nine justices and their spouses were interviewed and nothing was found implicating any of them. the statement comes a day after the release of a report on the leak of a draft decision that ultimately overturned roe v. wade. investigators don't know who leaked the draft but the report found that dozens of people had access to the document and some told their spouses. no information was found in call and text logs. it is unlikely the i.t. system was hacked. for the first time since the high court overturned roe, anti-abortion activists gathered for their annual march for life rally on friday. in the past seven months, the far right has grown more emboldened over the issue of abortion and their allegiance to d

donald trump has started to fade. brian todd reports. >> reporter: activists marking the first right to life march since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. >> right to life is the most fundamental right. >> reporter: but since that legal victory, the anti-abortion movement now as a cross roads regarding strategy, the battle now being wage this had states around the country deciding whether to restrict abortion. >> the fact that it goes back to the states, the battle is just beginning. >> reporter: and new tensions between the anity abortion movement and donald trump. in 2020, donald trump was the first sitting president to appear at this march. trump also appointing three supreme court justices who ruled that there is not a constitutional right to an abortion, a win for evangelicals. but there are some signs the relationship has since soured, some evangelical leaders warning trump not to take them for granted in his third presidential bid. others saying it is time to support someone else. this week trump bitterly lashing out at those who haven't fallen in line. >> there is great disloyalty in

the world of politics. and that is a sign of dis disloyalty. nobody has ever done more for right to life than donald trump. >> it is a tell about how trump is surveying the landscape and realizing that this is not a rethat that he was in in 2016. and this time around, it is pretty clear that that same community is not so transfixed on the former president. >> reporter: evangelicals are likely to have other options besides trump. >> i think that that you could potentially see candidates like the governor of north dakota and as well as ron desantis try to run to the right. >> reporter: and hard line instances hurt some candidates in the midterms and pro-life activists didn't help republicans enough after their success against roe. >> i was a little disappointed because i thought that they

could fight much harder during the 2022 election. >> reporter: and supporters claim they t. helped them in the midterms. a potential warning to republican hopefuls. >> any candidate that is likely to win over hand and fist a large amount of evangelical voters may have trouble in the general election. >> reporter: as for donald trump and the evangelicals, some trump advisers say they are not worried about the repercussions of his recent criticism of evangelicals, they say trump remains in kabt ss in contact w profile leaders and they insist that the results trump delivered for them on abortion and other issues will still help him in the primaries. brian todd, cnn, washington. three active duty u.s. marines have been arrested for allegedly storming the u.s. capitol on january 6, 2021.

one is being accused of supporting a second civil war. sara murray is in washington with details. >> reporter: a stunning set of new arrests related to the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol, three active duty marines who work in intelligence arrested this week for breaching the capitol building on january 6. a corporal and two sergeants all facing several charges including disorderly conduct in a capitol building. one posted photos of himself in the capitol on instagram. agents found messages on his account in which he is talking to another user. he says that he was waiting for civil war 2. and one of the other guys charged admitted during a security clearance interview that he went to the capitol with two buddies. he said we saw the way it was portrayed negatively and decided

not to tell anyone that he was involved. all in all they allegedly spent an hour traversing the building, even putting a red maga hat on one of the statues. none have entered a plea yet. the marine corps says they are aware of the allegations and is fully cooperating with appropriate authorities. sara murray, cnn, washington. russian teenager is looking at possible jail time after posting on instagram about the war in ukraine. still ahead, how her post turned her into a terrorism suspect and cannon fodder for state media. and plus russian oil exports fell is significantly in december after the west imposed a $60 price cap. we'll discuss the impact of the sanctions. other paperwork that's preventing you from doing what matters most? then get the all new epson rapidreceipt smart orgaganizer to scan, digitize d organize your documentnts and receipts. receceipts go in, ad stress goes away. it's the only solution on the market

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim wbrunhuber. the u.s. is turning up the heat on russia's wagner mercenaries whose boss is on the right in this video. washington is moving to declare wagner a transnational criminal organization which will be followed by new sanctions on the group and it global network of supporters. the u.s. is also releasing pictures of north korea's alleged arm shipment of wagner. officials believe this train brought in rockets and missiles for the mercenary army in november and that more shipments will follow. ukraine's deputy foreign minister is still hoping germany will come around and support sending leopard tanks to kyiv.

berlin failed to reach an agreement on that on friday. germany says they will make a decision as soon as possible but other supporters are growing impatient. western allies are united well beyond what they can support ukraine on the battlefield, but appear committed to taking the fight directly to moscow with sanctions on the energy sector. and g7 economies, european union and australia agreed to a series of measures that improve a price cap of $60 per barrel on russian oil. u.s. treasury secretary g7 officials say they will review it in march. treasury officials say the cap has two goals, cutting russia revenues while ensuring that global oil markets are well supplied. there are some signs the strategy may be working. according to the international energy agency, russian oil

exports dropped by some 200,000 barrels a day in december compared to the month before. and our next guest knows all about those markets and russia's dependence on oil revenue. he is vice president for international advocacy at the free russia foundation and he is also a former deputy minister of energy of russia and he joins us now from lithuania. thanks for being with us. so we've seen all these sanctions against russia, but the ruble hasn't tanked, the gdp didn't contract as much as expected. so the question is, are the sanctions actually working? >> good morning. and i advise against concentrating on the handful of misleading things like the rubl rate. take that is the last thing you want to look at temperature you really have to do across deep sector look at what happens with the various sectors of the economy. there is a very deep contraction

going on there. gdp is distorted by all of this military production like the biggest item in terms of growth, industrial output last year was uniforms. we can see all those uniforms in ukrainian battlefields. so there is a distortion there. same with the ruble exchange rate saying there is near total disruption. and a lot of russian industries are artificially suffering. so yes, sanctions are having a big impact. >> if you look at industries like the car industry for example, i know that has shrunk significantly. but russia has done its best to mitigate the damage by increasing trade with asia for instance. is that enough? >> no. i think it is definitely insufficient because critical technologies, critical component parts are coming from the west. sometimes they are unique and they are not localized neither

in russia nor china. sufficient to the extent that they can hold down major industrial projects like production of lng in the arctic, that depends on some critical technologies like heat exchangers manufactured by german company or american products. china does not do that. so yes, sanctions will have bigger impact over time because russia has more or less avoided the catastrophe by all its accumulated reserve and temporary surpluses. but it is beginning to bite now. >> yeah, time is key, about you so is sort of anonymity. we saw some western companies like mcdonald's, ford motors, pull out of russia, but a new study found that less than 9% of about 1400 eu and g7 companies had sub sin asidiaries in russi divested even one subsidiary.

so many are still perfectly happy do business there and contribute to the russian economy. >> that is a major problem because we saw many promises by western companies that they will leave russia after the invasion, but many have actually stayed. this keeps putin's economy afloat in a sense and another way is circumvention of sanctions through third country which is have not joined like turkey or united arab emirates or others. so i've talked to a lot of western policymakers about that. the mood is there that 2023 will be a year of ensuring compliance with the sanctions that were already adopted probably rather than adopting new ones because the compliance is key and it is t. has not been so successful. many circumventions and this is something that really helps putin to stay afloat. >> so despite all the sanctions, do you find that these sanctions

are affecting sort of the russian -- ordinary russians or the elite or has the government been able to sort of insulate them from the worst of the effects so far? >> they are real. don't expect anything to happen fast. russia is a company with big inertia, but you can see across the board with various opinion polls that many -- over a third of russians have started to actually save money and use their consumption on basic food and products. there is statistics which have recorded significant increase in shoplifting. many people like two-thirds are noticing deteriorated quality of everything from cars to telecoms and many other goods and services. so quality of life is decreasing significantly and this will begin to bite politically and socially. we just need to be patient. >> so the ultimate assessment of whether the sanctions are working is of course whether it

is putting actual pressure on putin to end the war and we haven't seen any sign of that or any sign of cracks in the regime yet. >> because to expect it quick was naive in the first place. russia had accumulated significant reserves, it has some room for maneuver in import substitutions and so on. but over time, sanctions will lead to that affect, will significantly weaken putin's system. again, strategic patience is needed. we don't need to looking at our watch every five minutes like if putin has not stopped the war sanctions are not working. this is not the criteria. we need strategic patience. >> patience is key. really appreciate your insights on this. 19-year-old woman is in the crosshairs of russian prosecutors. her charges, terrorism and offenses against the military. her alleged crime?

criticizing the war tin ukraine on instagram. as melissa bell reports, the young woman is being vilified by state media over her post. >> reporter: it is a sign of the times in putin's russia. a fun loving dancing teenager, the 19-year-old behind bars in court for the most adolescent of crimes. a social media post criticizing russia's invasion of ukraine. the almost unbelievable charge, terrorism and denigrating the russian army. >> she is very stubborn. sometimes even head strong. she has a heightened sense of justice and this can be hard for her to live with. >> reporter: the post, a message of empathy with ukraine at fighting ravaged the country. >> translator: when i was writing the post, never thought

that i'd end up before a judge. >> reporter: she told russian state media, the teen under house arrest in her mother's apartment in the far north, now banned from talking to journalists or even to her young husband. she faces years in jail if convicted. >> translator: this is a region too remote from moscow, there are no more protests here. so they are trying their utmost to strangle everything that is left. >> reporter: big brother is watching you, she says. a putin look alike spider on one leg, a court ordered tracking bracelet on the other. she's the youngest russian prosecuted for opposing russia's war and russian meadia was quic to lay into her. >> translator: we see a 19-year-old fool, i can't say otherwise, continues to deliberately and repeatedly discredit the government, the president and the armed forces.

>> reporter: and attitude that reaches to the very heart ofxpl himself. >> translator: the russian people will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors. they will just pspit them out. >> reporter: for nearly 12 months in to this unpopular war that moscow has had to send convictions to wage, the teen's mother sees things differently. it is such a strange time, she says, that we put prisoners in the warzone and teenagers in prison. melissa bell, cnn. the u.s. military deserter killed fighting in iraq on wednesday. military officials say daniel swift was a former u.s. navy s.e.a.l. who deserted about four years ago. he was in the u.s. navy for years and awards decorations for

dozens of protestors were injured friday after peaceful demonstrations in peru became violence. now the government has expanded it state of emergency to other parts of the country as protests grow nationwide. officials say two police officers were injured when their station was set on fire.

nearly 900 miles south of lima, 11 people were detained. and one of their historic buildings burned to the ground. protestors want a new government but the president is standing firm. at least 54 have been killed and hundreds more injured. human rights groups accuse the police and army of using deadly force and protestors have used weapons and homemade explosives. the peruvian government is standing firm and protestors have no intention of giving up until there is a general election. here is the latest. >> reporter: president was once again a day of marches in lima as protestors show no sign of slowing down. according to the peruvian police, over 11,000 agents were deployed on friday as the day after fire burned through an historic building that is just a stone throw away from the government palaces.

but she is calling for dialogue and her government has been criticized over the death of over 40 protestors in clashes with security forces. >> translator: we regret the deaths and injuries. we ask the government what they are doing to prevent these deaths and that they investigate these cases. we're here to support and strengthen the scope of human rights in peru. >> reporter: meanwhile thousands of protestors who travelled to lima in the last week say that they have no intention of going back home until fresh general elections are called. and with neither side showing no sign of tiredness, the solution to this crisis really seems a long way off. for cnn, this is stefan. and at least 15 people have been injured after a bomb blast
