viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm bianca a oig. . >> i'm max foster. just ahead -- >> russian forces trying and so far failing to make real head way in the opening stages of a new offensive. >> we're not only up against ukraine, but also against nato and especially the united states. >> to control the narrative early on. >> what folks are really concerned about is what happens later, what happens down the road, what happens three years from now. >> several buildings have collapsed. several people have been confirmed killed. hundreds injured. some of them in critical condition. >> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo.

>> it is tuesday, february 21, 9:00 a.m. in london, 12 noon in moscow where vladimir putin is set to deliver a speech to the nation's top political and military leaders on the state of what he calls russia's special military operation in ukraine. >> mr. putin is expected to lay out his vision for what is next as well as russia's assessment of relations with the west, this is just one day after u.s. president biden's surprise visit to kyiv. >> this is on the same day as president biden speaking to al, two alternative realities. >> reporter: that is a pretty good assessment. and i think that it will be a pretty fundamental speech that vladimir putin is going to hold here. we can already see the folks there inside that auditorium getting ready, that is the prime minister of russia that you see there next to head of the dumba, everybody from russian political

prominence is there from both houses of parliament. earlier today the press secretary for vladimir putin came out and laid out some of the things that will be part of vladimir putin's speech and he said that there will be a reasoning on why what russia calls its special military operation in ukraine was inevitable, why this is something that russia had to do, but he also said that vladimir putin would layout the way forward and how russia will move forward and peskov said we definitely will move forward in all of this. so essentially what we're looking to hear is what vladimir putin believes the next couple months will bring on the battle field. one thing that we do not expect him to do is to indicate that russia is backing down. someone that i've heard in the past couple days, they say that right now russia actually believes that it is still in a fairly strong position and that

it can wear out not only ukrainians but western support. and of course one thing that was very important in all of that was the visit by president biden to kyiv yesterday. and the kremlin actually didn't say anything about that yesterday. they didn't comment on president biden's nickname to ukraine. there was a lot of commentary on state media about it, however this morning peskov said that, yes, they were very closely watching president biden's visit and that it could indeed be factored into vladimir putin's speech. so we'll see whether any of that is the case. and if it does factor in, that will make putin's speech even harsher because one of the narrative russian media has been putting out there is that they essentially now view this not as a war or of russia against

ukraine, but a one fliconflict russia against the west and specifically united states as the leader of the western world. so that is something that we could here in his speech today. certainly we do not expect him to announce that russia might back down in any way shape or form. >> and it was only meant to last days or weeks. is this an address to the nation to try to keep them on side behind putin in this effort in ukraine? >> i think it absolutely is, but i also think that we have to look at some of the opinion polls here. we actually spoke to the leading polster here here in russia and they say the support remains strong and that it is also not going to wayne in the next couple of months. so clearly the message is something that is being received and heard by people.

they have waned a little bit in between, but recently they have sort of stopped on a very high level and certainly something that seems to be holding. right now putin has full support both in role has president and also as far as the special military operation in ukraine is concerned as well. and so therefore yes of course the kremlin definitely believes that people need to remain on side, however also vladimir putin very much has the people on side so far. >> and you can see president putin has just taken to the stage there for what will be a long speech if we go by previous experience and we'll bring you all the highlights. you'll speak to fred a little later in the show for his summation of what has happened there. president biden is in poland

meanwhile where he is beginning a two day visit after the secret trip to ukraine. mr. biden will be meeting with the polish president as he marks nearly a year since russia's invasion of ukraine. >> air raid sirens could be heard during the surprise stop in ukraine. this was an unprecedential visit to anwar zone. sirens the reminder of the dangers but a risk white house officials say the president wanted to take. correspondents are tracking all the developments for us. kevin liptak is in warsaw and clare sebastian is with us here in london. kevin, obviously president biden made this trip to ukraine for reaffirm his commitment to his

ally. what do you think the message will be in poland? the relations are getting warmer, this is his second trip i think in less than a year. >> reporter: yeah, the president was here 11 months ago in the aftermath of the invasion of ukraine and it is interesting, there are some parallels between that visit and this visit. he is speaking at the same venue later today, the warsaw castle. and you will remember when the president spoke there 11 months ago, he ad libbed that vladimir putin cannot remain in power, essentially calling for regime change and vladimir putin very much remains in power and you have that fascinating split screen with the two men laying out very different visions of the world and specifically for ukraine. what president biden will do i think is try to reaffirm that this western alliance remains united. that is his overarching goal, reassure ukrainians that the

united states will continue to have their back going forward. but what you hear from american officials is that this war a entering a new phase and you start to hear american officials warn about china potentially providing lethal aid to russia. so what president biden wants to to is tell the ukrainians, the europeans, tell the pols that he remains committed. and there is softening support for continued support for ukraine. so it does remain an open question of how sustained that support will be, but certainly president biden really hoping to demonstrate with this visit that he remains committed to the cause. and so he will sit down before that speech with the polish president. as you said, the relationship has been warming between the two men.

really trying to enforce the message that the united states is committed to the region and committed to the fight in ukraine. >> kevin, thank you. clare, in terms of the perspective of moscow, they framed this as a war with the west, and biden being in ukraine actually speaks to the putin narrative, doesn't it? >> it bolsters their rhetoric. i think it was interesting that they didn't give it too much oxygen. there wasn't a lot of talk from the kremlin or even some of the higher ranking officials that quite often speak out about this. but we did hear the idea that russia was warned a couple hours before, an biden having security in advance finally went to kyiv

and he wasn't profiting from the war in ukraine. and we did get criticism from some of the influential military bloggers that we often hear from, one calling it a humiliation and another noting that ironically that biden made it to kyiv before putin did. so there is obviously still some concern in some corners about how the operation is going for russia. and certainly the optics of that event really show the goals backfiring. >> clare thank you. and also warning china not provide lethal weapons to russia. >> and it comes as the top foreign policy adviser is due in moscow today. he has been selling the idea of

working to achieve an early cease fire and lasting peace in ukraine. kristie lu stout is following the developments. this statement i think it was on saturday that president xi jinping might be introducing a so-called peace plan shortly and they want european leaders to get behind it. where is chooin at the moment on the conflict? it seems as if they are gearing up to greater involvement. >> china looks to have it both ways. they like to position themselves as a international peace makmakes maker, but it continues to maintain this relationship with russia, continuing to buy energy softening the below low for the sanctions. and we heard from the ministry of foreign affairs about the agenda of the visit saying this is an opportunity for both sides to exchange views on the

relationship and discuss issues. and this is also at a time of deepening tense between the united states and china of course the chinese balloon and the war in ukraine. last week secretary of state antony blinken warned about consequences if china was to go ahead and buy material support for russia and monday china fired back. listen to this. >> translator: it is the u.s., not china, that is providing steady stream of weapons on the battlefield. the united states demands of ch. china's approach to the ukraine issue boils down to one aim, which is to urge peace and promote talks. >> reporter: so when he touched down in moscow, there will be

another opportunity for china and for russia to demonstrate what has beeeeeeed the no limits partnership. back to you. >> kristie lu stout, thank you. today the head of the u.s. environmental protection agency is heading back to east palestine, ohio where a train carrying hazardous material derailed more than two weeks ago. >> he will meet with residents and state officials. his agency says that there are no air or water quality concerns in the town, but residents disagree and say more needs to be done. >> so city water we're trying to just not -- limit our contact with it. we're not bathing. we're showering. we are watching fruit and food with bottled water. but there is also the several hundred people around here that have wells. there is at least 100 wells south of here that those could have been contaminated and they need to be tested and that is backing up, so that is taking

longer than anticipated. the railroad company just really controlled the narrative and took advantage of all the organizations involved that are supposed to be helping us get it cleaned up. and anythey put their plan in action but before the super fund letter came out, they were already running trains before that letter even came out. so it is kind of hard to understand how it was cleaned up properly. this accident happened on february 3 and we're just not getting regular briefings and the federal government involved. the state is still not declaring it a disaster. so they are not necessarily taking it serious enough, but it is a good step to have the health clinic and the people in the community, probably should are three or four of those set up eventually. and elsewhere in ohio, at least 13 people were taken to local hospitals after an explosion at a metal factory

sparked a huge fire. two victims are in critical condition. >> and officials say the bulk of the fire is contained and crews are working on putting out the hot spots. >> it was a big explosion from people here in the plant. we don't know the cause yet. that will still have to be under investigation with ourselves and we have the state fire marshal on scene as well. >> witnesses say the blast shook nearby buildings, scattered debris and damaged vehicles. we have learned former president jimmy carter is receiving hospice in his home. plains, georgia carter put on the map. >> reporter: and all day here in plains, georgia the birth place ofrd jimmy carter, we have heard from people who traveled from outside the area right here to explains to see the birth place of jimmy carter and to pay their respects. they are reflecting back on his

legacy, the time that he served as president, thinking of the definites that he made, the life that he led and the influence that he had over this tiny little town here in georgia. so many wanted to experience it and come here as they reflect on the legacy of jimmy carter. i spoke to someone who said even though he didn't grow up during the time of jimmy carter, they heard of him frequently from his parents and grandparents. >> one thing that strikes me about jimmy carter so much, he has been teaching sunday school for 40 years. that is consistency. and we talk about consistency, we talk about leadership. we talk about leadership, and we talk about impact. so values, impact, consistency,

and humility. that speaks volumes about someone's life and i think it is values that america needs to lean more towards in order to put the country in the right direction. >> reporter: and behind me of course is where president carter launched his political career first running for the senate and then running for governor here in georgia. eventually running for the white house at a time when he was a relatively unknown political figure in the country. but going on to win the white house, only serving one term and at the time many considered him to have been a failed president because he was not able to be reelected. however, he went on to define what post presidential years are supposed to look like. launching the carter center which was responsible for overseeing democratic elections around the world, helping to cure disease, helping to build

housing for the homeless among several other causes. the life and legacy of president carter will be something that we'll be discussing over the next several days as he enters this period of hospice care in his home, a decision that his family said was made jointly with his medical team. the president 98 years old, a survivor of cancer twice over, now receiving end of life care surrounded by those who are closest to him and his family here in plains, georgia. just ahead, two weeks after being hit by a devastating earthquake, turkey and syria are reeling from another one. we'll have the latest in a live report. and new developments in the case involving alec baldwin, we'll tell you about a surprising decision made by prosecutors. and winter is far from over in the u.s. where millions are bracing for coast to coast storm. and a potent system setting

vladimir putin is addressing lawmakers just two days before the first anniversary of what he calls the special military operation in ukraine. we'll bring you more of this as it comes through. but very much talking about the world order, how he sees it standing today. and also this contrast with bipartisan's speech in poland later today which will address similar issues from a different perspective. >> really seems like they are dividing into bipolar views of particularly the conflict but also the wider world. tens of millions of americans are under winter weather alerts. >> a powerful storm is bearing down. california could suffer power outages today, high winds hit the rockies and minneapolis, minnesota will get slammed with multiple rounds of snow that could wind up making history. >> the system is moving from coast to coast. for more, let's bring in britley

ritz. >> and we have winter storm warnings in effect, the area highlighted in pink extends all the way through the rockies. now just issued,b blizzard warnings for parts of the northern plains where winds could be over 50 miles per hour causing whiteout conditions for several hours. the first round already starting across the northwest, expected to come in waves. we will expect winds with this gusting over 50 miles per hour. hence the high wind warnings that will likely get extended all the way up into parts of the northern plains and upper midwest. there is that first round moving in tuesday, places like minneapolis can pick up 4 to 6 inches. that being the first round. the second round wednesday into thursday where the heaviest snowfall is expected to fall across the upper midwest, these areas picked up 12 to 20 inches with the second wave. when it is all said and done,

some of us across the northern plains and upper midwest highlighted in darker pink, that is 18 to 24 inches of snowfall. isolated higher amounts are possible where it is just a little bit warmer, now we're talking about the threat of significant icing. we'll have widespread power outages and nearly no travel expected with these conditions with over a half an inch of ice expected across northern illinois, just south and west of chicago. on top of it all, the warmer end of things, now we're dealing with flooding all the way from illinois back down through the southern mississippi valley where 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected all the way through the rest of the week. areas highlighted in yellow from chicago north of missouri where we are expected to deal with the heaviest rainfall. and where conditions are a little more vulnerable, highlighted in yellow here across missouri and back into oklahoma, this is where we could be dealing with not only the flooding rain threat but also

damaging winds as well as the threat for a brief tornado. max, bianca. >> britley ritz, thank you. two weeks after a powerful earthquake killed tens of thousands of people in turkey and syria, a magnitude 6.3 aftershock has further devastated the region. rescues recovered a lifeless body tuesday morning, one of at least three people killed after a terhe aftershock. >> and it was caught on video by a dash cam. you can see the city plunging into darkness. everything starts shaking. you can only imagine what is going through people's minds. let's go to nada bashir in southern turkey. what was it like and how are things looking today? >> reporter: well, just as you said, there is a sense of shock, the people here in southeast turkey have already been through so much, have already lost so

much. and of course this was the strongest aftershock that they have felt since the earthquake two weeks ago and there is still a real sense of fear here. we're currently about 120 miles away from the epicenter. a hard hit province two weeks ago. and even from this stance, we were able to feel the tremor here, a significant shake. we were staying at a hotel and a lot of the families in this hotel are still afraid, they excelleslept in the lobby with their belongings in case they had to make a quick exit. and closer to the epicenter, there have been feelings of those aftershocks since that significant earthquake. and you can imagine the emotional trauma people are going through having to relive this, and we have already heard reportses from the authorities

that some buildings have now collapsed. our team on the ground there with jomana karedsheh were actually outside one of the rescue operations last night where three people were trapped in a building. now the disaster and emergency management agency here in turkey has confirmed that further three people have now tieddied bringi the death toll to six. and there is that sense of fear, many people now too afraid to head back home. and out here on the ground, i spoke to them and they said that they were terrified. they wouldn't be going home. and many are sleeping on the streets. >> nada, thank you. keeping an eye on russian president vladimir putin's speech to lawmakers. we'll head live to moscow after a short break. and later fleeing russia over the war in ukraine, we'll hear from one man who explains why he and others made the

russia's war in ukraine. he will be meeting with the polish president and later deliver a speech. in moscow, vladimir putin is addressing lawmakers just two days before the first anniversary of what he calls the special military operation in ukraine. mr. putin is also expected to discuss social and economic issues. we'll listen into part of it. it will go on for a couple hours we believe. >> translator: this will be a special state fund and it will be about targeted assistance to veterans and to their families in this special military operation. it will coordinate welfare, sociological, psychological help and so on. and it will assist in the

education and sporting activities, business activities and enhancement of qualifications of everyone involved. and it will also be about repatriation. everyone who wants to go back will be helped to do so by this coordinating committee. and i urge all regions to make sure that these decisions are enacted as quickly as possible. >> clare sebastian is following this speech and translating in real time. clare, other than the alarming amount of mistruths, what do we need to know about what vladimir putin is saying? >> i think as expected this is now very clearly being presented by him as a war with the west. he is saying the west is using ukraine for its own ultimate

goals which was to find any means possible to lay down arms against russia. he is presenting this as an existential threat and he said that this is about ending us and they will respond accordingly. we knew that they were presenting this as an existential threat -- >> and even though european leaders made it clear that that is not its end goal. >> but this is all part of the russian -- this is about destroying russia, you see why him invoking the other invasion of russia during the second world war. i think one of the most striking moments was when he stood up and he said it is they that started the war, we are using force to try to stop it. at which point he gotcha applause. a complete and total reversal of the truth. russia is the aggressivor in th war. and so it is important to point that out because the reverse

shal al of the truth is so complete. and he says all of this is about protecting the lives of people in the donbas, russia tried to resolve the situation by peaceful means but ultimately had to use force. none of it is particularly new, but it is significant to see him do this just as we've seen biden in ukraine and we're about to see biden give a big speech in warsaw. russia really setting out its store with this speech making it clear they are for the r are no. >> and saying the terrorist activity in donbas, it seems to be the focus. is that change in the rhetoric that we're not going for the whole of ukraine? >> that was a change in rhetoric that we saw a while ago. really with the victory day speech last may when it became clear that russia was not going

to take kyiv and not having much success in other areas of ukraine. he sort of slimmed down the aims and started talking more openly about donbas. they also talk about zaporizhzhia and kherson, but done donbas is where they see the most clear connections. so he talks about that lot and how they protect those people. that is a big part of this for russia, but it does of course fuel that rhetoric that this is an existential threat, that it is not just inside of russia, but the russian people in ukraine they are trying to protect. >> okay, clare, thank you very much. staggering number of russians have been trying to seek asylum in the us since vladimir putin imposed a military draft last september. the number of russian citizens trying to enter the united states through the southern border jumped to nearly 8,000 in

december, a stark contrast from the time before putin's order. rosa flores caught up with one russian family who made this daring journey. >> reporter: michael and nellie loved life in russia. with their two boys mark and phillip. >> life was good. >> reporter: but the world turned unless tpside down last september when vladimir putin declared the first draft, drafting men michael's name. >> i don't want to kill innocent people of ukraine. they are protecting their territories, protecting their homes. >> reporter: michael thought about his own family. >> i was afraid for my boys, i was afraid for my family. >> reporter: was in a ythat you biggest fear? >> one of my biggest fears, of course. >> reporter: at the time, fear spread quickly in russia. wives and mothers wailed as their loved ones were forced to go to war and thousands fled to

neighboring countries to avoid the draft. the backup at the russian border seemed endless. turns out many of them were headed to america. in fact the number of russians encountered at the u.s. southern border has nearly tripled since putin imposed the draft from about 1600 russians in august 2022, the month before the draft, to more than 4500 in january 2023. >> so this is russia, this is the bus station. >> reporter: fearing michael could be drafted at any moment, they separated. >> praise god it was just temporary. >> reporter: michael left russia first to kazakhstan by bus. a week later, nellie and the boys joined him. >> my favorite moment. so happy to see them. >> reporter: and they traveled by train.

where they excelleslept on the f an apartment they shared with friends for a month. but they were nervous. they learned that some of their russian friends were entering the u.s. >> they crossed the border from mexico to the united states. it happened to one family and then to another family and we started to pray. >> reporter: in late november with guidance from a u.s. nonprofit organization, they arrived to mexico. which is across the border from south texas. there michael says up to 700 russians were waiting for their own chance to enter the u.s. legally. >> all the people that were there, they were against the war. that was the reason why they left russia. this is the day when we crossed the border. >> reporter: in january, after 40 days of waiting there, they say u.s. immigration authorities allowed them to enter the u.s. legally under something called humanitarian parole, which

allows them to seek asylum while in the u.s. their first weeks in america, they were hosted by pastors like this family in austin, texas. nellie celebrated her 27th birthday. ♪ and the entire family celebrated being free and safe together. they are in washington state, they are settling into a russian-speaking christian community and they say that they plan to seek asylum. but for now, their future in the united states is still uncertain as you know, it will be up to an immigration judge to determine whether asylum is granted or denied. and right now, they say that their biggest fear is that they could still bedeported back to russia. rosasa flores, cnn, houston. a controversial set of bills

here is more from new york. >> reporter: it is incredibly significant that the new mexico district attorney's office announced on monday that they no longer plan to charge alec baldwin with the firearm enhancement charge. he still faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter. each charge carrying up to 18 months in prison. but know that this firearm enhancement charge is no longer on the table, he no longer faces potentially five years. same goes for the armorer who also faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter. we reached out for comment. and i want to read you a part of the statement from district attorney's office that reads, quote, in order to avoid further litigious distractions by mr. baldwin and his attorneys, the district attorney and special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the

involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of halyna hutchins on the "rust" film set adding that the prosecution's priority is securing justice, not billable hours for big city attorneys. that is a strong statement coming out swinging. but we've had experts saying that they felt as though this was an overcharged case. we know alec baldwin says he plans to fight these charges. he will not be taking a plea deal if offered and he plans to see it through to a trial. but again, this is something that is constantly developing. we do know that alec baldwin and other members of the film will planning this spring to finish the movie because some of the money was going to go to halyna hutchins' widower. so this is ever-evolving and we'll keep you posted. back to you. and florida's republican governor heads to several blue states to push his pro law
