stay tuned, the news continues right here on cnn! ♪ ♪ ♪ >> hello normal can tires here in the united states and all around the world! i'm paula newton. headway here on cnn newsroom. joe biden and biden -- lottery putin dueling speeches just days before the first

anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. we are trying to the russian presidents and national address just ahead and china's top diplomat is in moscow to meet with his russian counterpart as the u.s. warns a beijing could increase its support for russia's war efforts. plus, the earthquake hit areas and turkey in desperate need of access to health care and military aid, we are live in scandinavia. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with paula newton! it's >> so the coming hours, u.s. president joe biden's had to meet with nato secretary general and leaders of the group known as the bucharest nine during his final day in poland. the book resonant is made up of nations that sits on the most eastern part of that nato alliance. you see that country there. that meeting only one day after mr. biden delivered a rallying cry to -- declaring ukraine will never be

a victory for russia. he repeatedly called out putin a by name and just as he did a day earlier in kyiv, he again about anna wavering support for ukraine. >> one year ago, the war was a bracing for the fall of kyiv, well i guess just came from a visit from kyiv, and i can report keith stand strong! kyiv stands proud! it stands tall! and most important, it stands free! >> cnn's kevin liptak is following developments and joins us now from warsaw. kevin, i mean so many events here that biden's presidency certainly making it quite historical, in the shovel ready, one of things that he said in the speech was that nato was likely that most consequential alliance in history. so in this day ahead, what are his goals and making sure that aligns romain united and resolute? >> well i think his aim and

meeting with these nine leaders later today is one to commit american support to a nato, to these countries, as anxieties are heightened in the region, as countries sort of wonder where putin may put his sights on next. but i think he also wants to steal these countries for what he said yesterday would be quote, hard and a better days ahead. really sort of a warning that this war centering a very uncertain phase. u.s. officials have described it as a more complicated, more complex phase as russia prepares for a spring offensive. and as ukraine looks to regain some territory that it has lost. so even though this a very dramatic three days in europe has been about the resiliency of the ukrainians over the past year. the resiliency of president as a landscape over the last year. really, what the next 12 months old is the question that is a looming over the presidents visit. so, when you seem to down today.

i think that will be the very main undercurrents of his top with these leaders from the eastern flank of nato. now, you mentioned those dueling addresses yesterday. of course, they cannot be more divergence in tone and content, but i think the one thing that the two leaders did it seem to agree on with president biden and president putin is that this war is not ending anytime soon. as president biden departs europe later today, that is sort of a question. what is the endgame here? and you really did not hear the president lay out and a new perspective on that in a speech yesterday, or during his visit to kyiv. what will these negotiations look like? when potentially could they start? the president did commit to providing weapons to ukraine, continuing security assistance to ukraine, but he did describe any new types of weapons -- things like long range missiles or fighter jets. those are the weapons that president zelenskyy says he needs to change the trajectory on the battlefield. instead, president biden says

that he will apply new sanctions on russia. he will talk to congress about continuing its support for ukraine. but i think that the big question that is still looming over as president biden lays, is how does this war and? president biden making clear that that won't be anytime soon. paula? >> yeah, that seems to be definitely the question. there seems to be no end game at this point and then biden made clear that he was not expecting. want to kevin, really good to have you on the ground there with us. appreciated. president apollon says that he's thankful, not just pitch presidential biden, but also to u.s. lawmakers at the american people for supporting ukraine. little latest held talks before they each addressed a church hearing crowd of thousands at the royal castle in warsaw, tuesday. you just heard kevin talk about that. now, in the exclusive interview, polish president out cnn's christiane on poor, surprising results of the capital on monday was a powerful show of support. [speaking non-english]

>> translator: the very thing that the president traveled to kyiv, that he was, there it's a very powerful signal that political and strategic signal. it is a demonstration of a strength of the united states indeed. it is like saying that the american later, who is in effect the leader of the free world, is able to travel even when war is raging even to a place where there is a potential danger. he is not afraid. the 90s a stronger to protect him. that is number one. number two, he was there and today, he is in warsaw. he gave his speech. to the whole world. and he sends a signal of the defense of the jury role and the defense of nato and defensive every inch of the territory as the president said today so to ask the polls, this americana signal, this highlights a, no not only with a, nato personnel as ignore sent by the greatest superpower in the world. a signal signed by our friend and elective today is so significant. >> now you can see cristiano non polar full interview with

poland's president on wednesday, 7 pm in warsaw, 6 pm in london. meantime, in moscow, russian president lattimore portion was -- as we were to, saying deliver his own space and announce that russia was spending a nuclear arms control treaty with washington. he also argued that the west is to align for escalating situation in ukraine claiming that it wants to make the conflicts even wider. cnn's sebastian joins us live from london with more. certainly a consequential speech, and a lot of the rhetoric was what we have heard before. but what were his aims and delivering this for an hour and 45 minutes? in front of all of those loyalist? >> you know, paula, that's kind of, unclear al-ata so recycled talking points in the likes of which that repeatedly from president putin over the last year. the west are to blame. it's about nato expansion. russia has tried to prevent. it's about denazifying ukraine. it's about protecting ukrainian civilians, all about what he did it, and we call this industry, bearing the headline. he announced the very end of

the very long speech that russia would be suspending the participation in the new stark treaty, the nuclear arms control treaty. that doesn't really change things, russia is not allowing inspections to go ahead anyway. this is better for covid and have not allowed them to resume. but take a listen to how he talked about this in his speech. [speaking non-english] >> translator: they want to end like issue to defeat on us. and climb all over our nuclear facilities. so i'd like to make the announcement today that russia is suspending its participation candy stark treaty. [applause] >> so the idea of the strategic defeat of russia is something that is now playing a very heavily off the back of that speed. it is something, by the, way they idea that the u.s. and the west are trying to destroy russia, that biden denied and that's marriage, on, tuesday that macron has said that it's not part of the plan. and the west -- wasn't lady gaga deny. it but it is interesting in the context, russia's nuclear

doctrine has allowed for a first strike if russia feels that its very existence is threatened in a conventional war. we are hearing more and more pronouncements for marcia officials, they would, pasco spokesperson said that is impossible to speak about the showing russia without the launching a world and a nuclear war. so this is fueling what appears to be a palpable uptick and nuclear saber-rattling that we have become used to hearing over russia over the past. year >> yeah, and to give us that exclamation port, he did have that test, cnn has learned of an icbm really just hours before president biden rides and keep. >> yeah, that's according to u.s. officials familiar with the matter, speaking to our colleagues in washington. they believe that russia carried out a test of the salma ballistic missile known in the west as the satan to, which just capable of delivering nuclear warheads. they believe that the test failed. part of the reason for that is because president putin dare not to mention it in a speech, and you expect that had been a success, he would have made a

lot of that. he certainly has in the past. it's not saying by the u.s. as an escalation as such. it was apparently flag through the confliction line which shows that there are a number of lines of communication open between the u.s. and russia still despite the current situation. but it does show that russia is continuing to try to sort of advance its military including its nuclear arsenal. >> yeah, class of action, thanks to that insight. certainly quite a spate! we continue to perhaps here more and as he more a lot of my putin in the coming hours. appreciate it. now all the -- senior international said the crisis, group and he joins me now from brussels. it's good to have your expertise, saline, -- anna like -- as we continue to parse putin speech and also what may be to come in the next few hours. doesn't start -- what did you make a speech? >> i think it's always high expectations ahead of putin's address and russia. but the substance of the speech

turns out to be quite routine. and that this happened happened this time again, and apart from the suspension of the new start and -- couple of other things, putting donatelli thing knew that he wouldn't have said last year. if we look at the speech, i think the key message of the speech is that putin has no plans to change anything about ukraine and the west. russia will stay -- the policy will be the same, putin has no plans to make any compromises, and he's ready to negotiate only on his own terms. i think that he generally believes that ukraine is only part of this conflict. he believes that this is a proxy war with the west. and even if the war in ukraine as putting holes at some point that conflict between russia and the west will continue. and that is what he wanted to explain to russian citizens and to the west audience. so i think that >> -- >> yes? >> no go ahead! >> i think that russia will

continue challenging the west and i think every buddy should be preparing for a long conflict. he thinks that this complex will shape the future of russia four years to come. and his presidency. >> yeah, he's certainly leaning into that in terms of this really shaping as russia as a whole, and the spotter join -- in the. was i was in fact surprised the speech was not as bellicose or medicine as others have been. and, yet that issue of nuclear security. now, puts it had authorized, as we were talking about with claire -- that icbm missile launch perhaps it failed. what do you make of these moves on that nuclear issues? specifically? >> first of, all russia does not have much leverage on the west. then nuclear weapons are the strongest argument here. of course that in the situation, when russia was conventional capabilities has been decreasing, he wants to make

this argument. you want to make this elaborate even stronger. our thing that in the future, of, course he will use this leverage more and more. secondly -- i think he wants to show that if the united states or other western countries are interested in any format, and treaties with russia, they should change the way that they treat russia and your crying. that was his message. so this means, for example, if the united states needs a new start, and if the united states needs a new system of arms control -- yet from the cold war era, puts it believes that washington must change its policy towards ukraine. so not russia. but if it doesn't happen, russia could launch a new nuclear arms race and i think that is the very real risk. >> yeah, it certainly is in terms of what you see what he laid out and that speech. i want to point out -- oleg, you are basing moscow just before the war broke. out he said within weeks of the

war breaking out that this could become a long, brutal, frozen conflict in your words. is there anything that you see in terms of domestic pressure on putin that would change this at this point? >> no, i don't see any condition for domestic pressure right now. i think putin believes that he controls the system. he controls the russia political system. he controls the elections. he controls the court. he controls the security. he controls the media. and i think that he doesn't see any challenges inside the country. yes -- so i think -- so i state on my words, i think it will be a long conflict. >> and i wonder, just look at the conflicts of the last 12 months, what has surprised you over the way that this has turned out? >> i wasn't surprised by ukrainian resistance. yes. but i was surprised how russia was that. how russian military was that. how russia's army was wake.

i was up a surprise. i would not surprise that ukrainians are so strong, and that they would support their sovereignty. which putin did not understand. but russia made a lot of -- badly. russia did make a lot of mistakes. and it seems that putin's policy and the current speech shows that russia could make any more mistakes in the future certainly they feel they are getting ready for a new offensive in ukraine and then a lot of peril ahead and then for people in ukraine although we begin to check thank you. >> now back here in the united states, the 4% for the georgia grand jury is investigating former president donald trump spoke with someone said surgery

wrapped. it worked for seven months in her testimony from some 75 witnesses including some of trump's closest allies injuring his time in harris. the jury's findings are in the hands of a judge and four person emily kohrs says all of their worth was indeed worth it. >> i will be sad if nothing happens. that's about my only request in history for something to happen. i don't necessarily what i know what it is, another legal expert, i'm not the judge, and not a lawyer, but i will be frustrated if nothing happens. this was too much, too much information, too much of my time, too much of everyone's time, too much of their time, too much arguing in court about getting people to appear before us. it was just too much for this to be, okay we are good

of the flooding, but then on top of it all, when we are more conducive for severe weather, where it's warm and we have the moisture, we have the lift from the cold front, we wind up with the threat of damaging winds, hail and even tornadoes a possibility from st. louis just towards the eastern side of oklahoma. we'll really have to watch that closely. there is the cold weather. weather breaking cold expected through friday across the northern plains and back into the upper midwest. the southeast side of the country, 135 plus record highs from the east coast down into florida, back into texas even. some in florida are saying temperatures pushing towards 90 degrees, orlando, you typical high this year expected to be in the mid 70s. paula, i'm a big fan of the warm and humid air, so i just got back from florida, i'd rather be there than in the midwest dealing with all the snow. >> lucky you in fact.

to upend the internet. now it's the first two cases the court will hear this week about online content. tuesdays discussions disk centered on whether tech companies can be held liable for research to search recommendations all the searches do align. they spent hours asking questions and asking hypothetical questions about search content and where they're current laws and protections from companies should change. now the family of gonzalez is suing google, youtube's parent company claiming the sites algorithm actually promotes terrorist videos. gonzales was killed during the 2015 ices terror attack in paris. her parents claim youtube was instrumental in radicalizing viewers and are urging the court to take action. >> we go through with this fight because we are seeking justice. nothing is gonna give me back my daughter but at least

there's something good can be accomplished. >> shelley palmer professor broke down what each side is arguing this case. here's what he told cnn earlier. >> so the way that one side looks at it is that the tech giants, the tech platforms have to be liable because the algorithms do the phone they basically put aside on youtube or any social media center any platform say we'll use youtube is an example. youtube strongly recommends this content, and if you're recommending the content, that means that you are a publisher, you enter an editor, you are a curator, and if you are the curator and you are responsible for what it is your curating. that's the argument on one side. the argument on the other side is that no, we are a tech platform. you wouldn't be held responsible if you're the phone company for someone making a

phone call was containing the wrong kind of communication, so we are a platform like a telecommunications company. and of course neither one is correct because the platforms are not telephone companies, telephone calls or 1 to 1 between two people and there's an assumption of privacy. and here you are publishing you, the user, the consumer and user generated content, you are the person who is publishing and google for example youtube allows you to publish. it's not a gum or a candy, which makes us very complicated, because it's not cut and dry the. communications decency act was done in 1996, the world is changed. we should be a lot of different laws around communication because the business of communications, telecom, everything to do with the internet, with data privacy across the entire spectrum how we do life in the 21st century has changed from a telecom to a

communications perspective. congress needs to step in and say, we recognize data sovereignty, data privacy, security issues. we recognize that there is a difference between a publisher and a platform and it's not cut and dry and, we need to enact laws they need to protect those who need to be protected, which is the job of government. we just haven't seen it. >> contentious case there and our thanks to shelley palmer for his expertise. american basketball star brittney griner will be back on the court soon. on tuesday the phoenix mercury saving have renew her contract for another year. reiner spent about ten months in a russian prison you may remember, she was sentenced to nine years and drug charges but returned to the united states in december as part of a prisoner swap. brian shared the good news on instagram tuesday. see it there, the mercury's first game of the season is set for may, just a few months away and obviously this return to the core highly anticipated. we wish her well.
