hello, everyone. i'm biannabianna. >> this morning, the president met with the leaders of the bucharest nine in warsaw, poland. that's the group of nato countries closest to russia's borders. biden praised the leaders for their continued potter soft ukraine ahead of the one-year anniversary of russia's invasion. >> as nato's eastern flank, you're the front lines of our collective defense. and you know better than anyone what's at stake in this conflict. not just for ukraine, but for the freedom of democracies throughout european and around the world. >> cnn's chief white house correspondent, phil mattingly is in warsaw. so, phil, what was the outcome of president biden's meeting there with the warsaw nine? i'm sorry, the bucharest nine? >> you know, bianna, this was a 72-hour period full of clear

symbolism, dramatic moments. this meeting was also critically important. it wasn't something that was going to draw a massive headlines, but the president's reassurance, commitment, and pledge to nato's eastern-most coalition members was a critical one. particularly in person. and it was also a very substantiative, i'm told, meeting behind the scenes. one that is increasingly critical, given just how uneasy these nine nations have been over the course of the last year. keep in mind, this group of nine nations came together in this alliance inside of their nato coalition in 2015 as a result of the russian aggression towards ukraine that led to the legal annexuation of crimea. and the president made very clear, both to the leaders in attendance, but also broadly, about the stakes of the moment. take a listen. >> we will defend literally every inch of nato. every inch of nato. and this is an important moment. i look forward to the discussion

in the next steps we can take together. and to keep our alliance strong and to further deter aggression. because what's literally at stake is not just ukraine, it's fre freedom. >> obviously, at the heart of the nato alliance is article v, an attack that any one member would be an attack on all. that's what the president is making clear, the u.s. stands very firmly and steadfastly behind. but his illusion to the fact that there is significant number of issues to discuss about the path forward. a very uncertain path, certainly an arduous path, as you look at a war that shows no signs of ending or decelerating anytime soon. these countries are critical not just for their assistance on both defense and humanitarian aid over the course of the last 11, almost 12 months, at this point, but also because they serve as frontline defense for not just nato, but also places where american and nato troops are, weapons systems, as well, and have asked for more of both.

what the result is of these discussions going forward and how this lays the groundwork for what's next, certainly the critical element of a trip that had no shortage of them, guys. >> phil mattingly live for us in warsaw. >> while president biden was wrapping up his trip in poland, vladimir putin was meeting with china's top diplomat. at that meeting, putin said that the international relations were, quote, complex, but that the relationship between moscow and beijing is reaching, quote, new milestones. >> cnn's senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is in moscow. fred, what does this say about china's potential role in supporting russia in ukraine? >> reporter: well, i think it certainly says that the russians believe that that role could be very big. generally, i think that vladimir putin, the head of state of the russian federation met with a top diplomat of china and made time for china's top diplomat definitely shows how important china is to russia and how important russia feels the relations with china are. and you're absolutely right. vladimir putin there saying that he believes that the relations between the two countries could

reach new milestones. he also said that very soon, he's going to be welcoming xi jinping, the president of china here to russia, as well. we know that xi and putin have had very good relations over the years and describe each other as very good friends. and certainly, the russians really banking on china economically. and of course, the u.s. believes that maybe militarily, as well. and that seems to be something that also came up in that meeting between vladimir putin and wang ye today, as well. there was an interesting statement by china's top diplomat, where he also said that the relations between russia and china were exceptional. and he also said that they were not directed against third countries and certainly shouldn't be infringed on by third countries, either. there are a lot of people who believe that that could be a swipe at the biden administration, of course, which voiced those concerns that china might be at least thinking about providing lethal aid to the russians. and in this case, certainly, the russians banking on their relations with china, especially with all the sanctions that have

been levied on russia by the u.s., by the european countries, as well. so this is definitely something where the russians understand how important these relations are and understand, they are going to becoming a lot more important, it seems, in the not-too-distant-future, guys. >> and fred, putin made an appearance at a concert in moscow today. tell us about this? >> he certainly did. this was a big concert where the russians said that there could be up to 200,000 people there. it's unclear how big the crowd actually was. it was in the main stadium here in central moscow, and it was really one where vladimir putin was trying to rally the nation behind what he calls and the russian leadership calls the special military operation. and you know, one of the interesting things he was saying, he says, he believes right now that there's a big battle going on on russian planland for russian people. the russian leadership and the vladimir putin himself are already saying that he believes that he believes the places

where russia is fighting are russian territory. under international law, it's a whole different thing. the u.s. certainly says it's a whole different thing. and all of this is ukrainian territory. this was a big event. this is a huge event. it was definitely a big event and an important event for vladimir putin, who obviously understands that he has to keep russians behind the special military operation, because, of course, as we've been reporting, over the last couple of weeks, really the last couple of months, the going has been pretty tough for the russian military on the battlefield. and that's certainly something that's not lost on a lot of people here in russia, as well. >> yeah, that stadium, the site of the world cup in 2018. fred pleitgen, thank you. >> mm-hmm. >> let's discuss with historian and analyst of russian war propaganda, ian gardner. he's also the author of "z" generation, into the heart of russia's fascist youth. ian, great to have you on this program. we are constantly asking why russians either continue to publicly support or at least accept this war, one year into it. and clearly, repression works, but there's also propaganda at

play here, like this, that we saw at the stadium today. >> okay, you're safe now. >> these are the children you saved? do you remember anya? she is here now and she wants to say important words to you. good girl. don't be shy. we're here. thank you uncle yuri for saving me, my sister, and hundreds of thousands of children in mariupol. >> now, ian, we should note, russia is accused, not only by ukraine, but by the west, of kidnapping thousands of ukrainian children and we covered this in detail last year in the battle at mariupol there. give us a sense, though, of

images like this and propaganda like this. is it still effective one year into the war with russians? >> this particular little set piece that came in the middle of this concert really sums up the most effective propaganda narrative that the russian state has. a narrative that is working, and i expect will continue to work. and that is, we see a video clip of terror and fear at the front presented as russian troops bravely battling against monstrous ukrainians, and then we see what is presented as russian children, of course, ukrainian children, who are being saved, and are grateful to be saved. the narrative is that russia is fighting against a west who is monstrous, potentially satanic, even pedophiles, and putin mentioned that in his speech yesterday, who will do anything to children. thank god for russia. thank god for russia that saves these children. >> that really was a gut punch when i watched that video this

morning. i'm glad we addressed it now. another thing that i've been really thinking about, ian, over the past year, even leading up to the war, you saw multiple attempts by president zelenskyy to speak directly to the russian people, bypassing propaganda and state media. he speaks perfect russian. that was his native language. and he would talk to the russian mothers about how unjust this war was. we heard president biden do the same thing yesterday in warsaw, directly speaking to the russian people. is it breaking through at all? i mean, are they even hearing about these messages? >> certainly, they will see the messages, but the state's propaganda operators in russia is so all consuming that those messages are completely twisted and reframed. the state has spent the best part of 20 years and is doing this increasingly, persuading russians that putin and the regime and its propagandaists are looking out for russians and that everything on the outside

is something to be suspicious of, something that is out to get children, and out to destroy the very idea of russia itself. that means ukrainians, it means americans, it means the west, it means gays, it means liberals and democrats. all of these things are kind of synonymously evil. >> so that's the west that's being perceived as evil at this point. we saw that meeting today between president putin and the chinese foreign minister. the two authoritarian countries that really learned from each other are symbiotic in terms of censorship and propaganda. given that russia, not necessarily and the russian public was aligned with the west, but at least they got to benefit from some of its lifestyle over the past two decades or so, if not longer, are russians prepared for that to be completely cut off and now see an alignment with china? >> certainly the embrace of china will probably go down very well. the idea of diminishing american power, even for those moderate

russias who don't really buy these narratives that the west is all-consuming evil. but really, the question for me, long-term, is about living standards. the loss of access to lifestyle, to western gadgets and goodies. >> all right, eastern garner, thank you so much. great to have your perspective. we appreciate it. >> let's continue the conversation with retired u.s. army major, mike lyons. good to see you again. let's talk about this failed intercontinental ballistic missile test that we learned that russia attempted on monday, about the time the president was there in ukraine. how much should we deduce from a failed test? especially in the context of russia suspending its participation in the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty? >> well, it does show that they have ineffective weapons that have been stored for a long period of time. we see this in the current

weapons system that we brought to the battlefield already. they need wins they would and have liked to have this be some sort of victory for them, that they can still do this. it does question what the rest of this fleet looks like of these missiles that have been in storage for decades and have likely not been maintained. it's not something they wanted to do. they had to tell us because of the previous start treaty that they're in. it's not good news that they're not going to participate in the next one. we've always been able to celebrate the two, between our diplomats and what's going on when it comes to arms control. this is not good news for the world, the fact that russia will not be in the next s.t.a.r.t. treaty. >> russia hasn't been complying for months now and inspections haven't been taking place. if china does in fact to provide russia with lethal aid, what form would that come in what type of aid would they provide? would it be drones? would it be missiles?

>> initially, it would bam in addition drones and small arms, similar to what the u.s. is doing in ukraine with the quick-hit packages. but the chinese have always had strategic patience. and i think they'll hold their cards very close to their chest. because deep down, they want to weaken russia as much as we do. a weakened russia from their perspective puts them out of the game. so, you know, they are -- you know, they don't always play their cards out there. i do believe that you won't see this necessarily coming. i think that they're going to wait this out and see how russia is doing on the battlefield first, because china does not want to be aligned with a loser. and if russia continues to go this way, they'll have to stop and negotiate at some point and they'll look like they're losing. and that's going to not bode well with china. >> as we've discussed, china often focuses on the long game, primarily, before jumping in in conflicts like this. let me ask you about coming up on this one-year mark of the

invasion of this war. we've seen that there have been missile attacks. there have been bombardments leading up to the 23rd and 24th? what do you expect we will see over the next 72 hours? >> i think russia will continue more or less the strategic attacks. there's a stalemate on the battlefield right now, on those front lines in the east and in the south. there were reports this morning of ukraine attacks that were deep into russia. when you have a stalemate situation in history, the way one side wins or the other, they start affecting the other side's ability to wage war. ukraine really doesn't have that. unless those other strategic weapons come from the west, the f-16s and the like that will allow them to attack ammunition depots inside of russia, and so they don't have that capability. russia still can go on some kind of offense, with the kind of people that could show up at the battlefield. if you put ukraine on the offensive, they've got to be very selective as to where they

want to focus on, economy of force will be very important for them, if they do, especially in the south. i think they must threaten russian troops in the south, get some kind of mass deflection, get some kind of mass surrender in order to get russia to the bargaining table. that's the important role here now. get this role stopped as soon as possible. >> you're talking about the south there in zaporizhzhia. does ukraine benefit in terms of a potential spring counteroffensive, if the russian offensive, which many now say has been underway for the past few weeks is underwhelming and continues to be so? >> i don't see how the numbers support ukraine to go on a successful counteroffensive. they would have to come up with 100,000 or so soldiers. given the fact that the russians could decide to dig in and reverse this situation that's happening right now, where the russians are going into that meat grinder, as they talk about. i don't want to see that happen to the ukraine soldiers. i don't think the ukraine generals want that to happen to their young men. so i think they're going to be

very selective and can pick and choose those places where they go on the offensive. i don't see a wide-scale offensive. the front is just too long. they've got to be very strategic, what spot they pick, and have victory in those locations. >> all right. major mike lyons, thank you. and tomorrow, a cnn global town hall event you don't want to miss. fareed zakaria will be hosting a large audience and key biden administration officials as well. cnn town hall, russia's invasion of ukraine one year later airs tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. eastern. the foreperson of the georgia grand jury that investigated trump efforts to overturn the 2020 election tells cnn multiple indictments have been recommended. she says it is not a short list. hear from her yourself. and heavy snow, ice, and extreme cold are wreaking havoc on the road and in the air. states like minnesota are preparing for more than 20 i inches of snow today alone. we'll take you there. will you make something better?

are on alert across dozens of states and blizzard warnings stretch from wyoming to minnesota. the severe weather is hindering travel with more than a thousand flights already canceled today. and scenes like this one in south dakota are playing out across the country. the near-whiteout conditions reducing visibility to almost not nothing. >> this man can barely stand up. you hear that? that's the wind in flagstaff, arizona. but let's go to the upper midwest, because that's the area that's expecting to bear the brunt of this storm. minneapolis could get the most snow it's seen in 30 years. cnn's adrianne broaddus is outside of minneapolis. it looks like it's just a light flurry right now. i know that's not going to last long, because there's a declared snow emergency. what are you seeing? >> yeah, victor, looks can be

deceiving. this wind is whipping. right now it's at my back, so it's somewhat helping me with this live report. but that snow emergency you're talking about, for those who aren't familiar, it means that certain parking rules will go into effect in minneapolis. for two reasons. one, so those drivers working those snowplows can remove the snow off the road, so people can get around when it's safe, and it's also a way for those first sporpds to get to people who might need their help the most. meanwhile, it's somewhat calm right now. the heavy snowfall has stopped, but it's expected to pick up later into the afternoon. and we've heard from some first responders who are saying, if you do not have to be out on the roads, please, stay home. they are already expecting delayed response times. >> definitely the weather can impact our response. it might make it slightly slower for us to get to people when needed, but we triage all of

calls and get to the most important ones first, the ones that are the most sick or most injured. >> we will get to you as quickly as we can and as safely as we can. but if you don't need us, we would appreciate saving us for somebody who really, really does, especially during these hard times of getting around. >> so please keep that in mind. meanwhile, the national weather service saying later tonight into tomorrow, it will likely be impossible to travel. the wind is expected to gust up to 45 miles per hour, creating that blizzard warning in some parts of the state, because you're going to have the strong wind and the snow falling at the same time. that doesn't equal a good mixture. victor, bianna? >> people need to heed those warnings. adrianne broaddus, thank you z >> by the way, your nargs was really better than mine. >> that's point! you can't walk out here! moving on.

the foreperson of the georgia grand jury that investigated former president trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election is dropping some broad hints about the panel's recommendations. >> it's not a short list. i will say that when this list comes out, you wouldn't -- there are no major plot twists waiting for you, especially if they've been following the investigation, i can't see it

being a shocker. >> the grand jury's final report makes it clear that participants believe perjury charges are warranted for some witnesses. the case is now in the hands of the fulton county district attorney. cnn's sara murray has the latest for us. so sara, what is being made of the quite unusual comments from the foreperson? >> well, i think that there has been sort of a lot of surprise, a lot of shock, seeing her out there, because this is not what we would see, you know, in a normal case with a regular grand jury, you would not hear, you know, for instance, people who sat on a regular jury speak until after somebody faced charges or was convicted or cleared. in this case, because it's a special grand jury in jury, the rules are a little bit different. and she is able to go out and speak publicly about some things related to the case. obviously, we saw a lot of that from her yesterday. we should note that the district attorney's office, they are not the ones that are responsible for authorizing whether these special grand juries can speak publicly. and i'm told they did not know she was going to go public until she started doing these

interviews. but emily, she not only dropped hints about what was in the report, she made clear that after the months and months that the special spent investigating the former president and his allies, efforts to overturn the 2020 election, that she hopes the district attorney does something. take a listen to what she said. >> i will be sad if nothing happens. like, that's about my only request there, is for something to happen. i don't necessarily know what it is. i'm not the legal expert. i'm not the judge. i'm not the lawyers, 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 argument in court about getting people to appear before us. there was just too much for this to just be, oh, okay, we're good, bye. >> i'm told by people familiar with the matter that prosecutors are still weighing who they're

actually going to bring charges against. they're looking through these referrals that have not yet been made public from the special grand jury and kind of going line by line, saying, look, do we have enough evidence that is going to hold up in court to bring an indictment against each of the people that the special grand jury referred. then it is up to the district attorney to go to a regular grand jury and seek those indictments. she has previously said that they are imminent. we're still waiting to see exactly what that means. guys? >> sara murray, thank you. >> joining us with more on this case, cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, eliot williams. eliot, good to have you. when kate balduan was interviewing miss coors, i literally said out loud, what is happening right now? houmpb do whow often do we hearm the foreperson in this position on a special grand jury? >> no, we don't. and to back up sara's point, it's a special grand jury, which is a little bit different from a traditional grand jury that has the power to indict. but pull the camera back,

victor, good lord. the mere fact that you have the right to do something, and she has a right to speak, as a citizen, and even the grand jury rules in georgia, you know, as long as she's not speaking about deliberations, she's allowed to. the mere fact that you have the right doesn't mean you should do it, and you can create serious problems for prosecutors or a court by doing so. any defendant can now immediately now move to have that doindictment thrown out on the basis of saying, look, your honor, even before this was even a case, my client, the grand jury was out there talking about how indictments were coming, dragging the names -- teasing that indictments were on the way. and it's impossible to get a fair trial for my client. she handed them that. and that will continue through any trial. so there's just -- there's any number of both legal and practical problems that arise wherever anyone connected to the process goes out and starts talking about deliberations and so on. >> is there some special

relevance of what the sound bite that sara just played, she would be sad if there is -- if nothing happened. she would be frustrated that there's some emotional investment in charging the people who came before the special grand jury or those they were brought in to investigate. >> well, yes and no. here's why. if you were -- if someone was on a grand jury for several months and ultimately came to a conclusion that a defendant should be charged with a crime, certainly, they're invested in it and have a right to say that it's disappointing, that it happened. the problem is that in making the statement, she's undermined the integrity and the independence of the grand jury. it now appears that they are just an arm of whether it's the elected prosecutor or sort of political opponents of people who might be charged with crimes. and it just sort of smells bad, even if, by the letter of the law, nothing -- no law was broken by any of those statements. >> so let's talk about what she said here. and i want to play a sound bite.

this is about phone calls. of course, we heard the call between trump and the secretary of state, brad raffensperger, where trump asks for the 11,780 votes, just find them. here's what she said about other calls. >> i can tell you i heard other phone calls. i don't think i could name all of them right now if i wanted to. after 75 witnesses in 8 months, it gets hard to keep all of your bits straight. >> other calls that donald trump was on? >> yes. i'm positive i have heard the president on the phone more than once. >> she wouldn't go into more specifics -- i see you shaking your head, eliot. she's just kind of talking here about some of the evidence, but there could be some more compelling sound out there. >> sure, but here's the problem that is created with a statement like that, victor. the entire fulton county georgia could potentially be -- anybody in fulton county who's sort of over the age of 18 can be a potential juror in this trial. they're hearing now evidence that's going to be presented before them at trial.

and developing opinions about it, developing opinions about defendants. that, too, can taint the prosecution. if this individual who we're hearing from really wants these people charged with crimes so badly, she better shut her mouth about them, because ultimately, she could imperil their convictions, if they ever reached that point. and on appeal, after someone's been convicted, that's when attorneys can raise an argument like, hey, look, nothing was fair from the beginning here, on account of the fact that the jury pool was tainted by information that was presented to them, even before we got into court. it's just, again, nothing fatal has happened here right now. i don't want to sound too over the top, but the risks are so great to the process, which is why judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys are so risk averse at this stage. >> last one here. cnn's reporting is not whether there will or will not be indictments. the question is, when, how many, how broad will the charges be

that, of course, fanny willis has to bring, not the special grand jury. when you have, as cora suggested, 12 or maybe more people who are recommended to face charges, who do you prioritize? do you go after everyone, because you have the evidence? do you have too strategize about your resources and if you can -- if you have the bandwidth to prosecute all of these people? >> yeah, you know, look, as in everything in government, certainly in law enforcement, resources matter. if you have the resources to go to trial, yes, that will dictate things. but the simple thing, wherever prosecutors proceed with going to trial, it's, what is, number one, the most readily provable offense that you can bring. number two, what do you think you can get past a jury. if that's 6 or 11 or 12 or how many people. if you think and are convinced and can credibly say that we think that we can get this past a jury unanimously, beyond a reasonable doubt, that's who you

charge with crimes. but beyond that, there may be political factors. but, no, the simple fact is, do you think you can win? that's what drives the day as a prosecutor. >> eliot williams, a lot of head shaking through this one. appreciate you working through it. >> sorry! >> he was trying to be as professional as he could. tell us how you really feel during the commercial break, eliot! well, a first for virginia. cnn projects that virginia's state senator jennifer mcclellon will win. >> that makes her the first black woman to represent the commonwealth in congress. cnn's jeff zeleny is following this one for us. what more are we hearing from mcclellon today? >> this certainly does not change the balance of power in congress, but it is a big mark of history for the former capital of the confederacy. that's where mcclellan represents. she's been in the house of delegates, initially she was

elected in 2005 and she's filling the seat of the late congressman mckechan. >> she's 50 years old and talked about when this meant for her family. >> there are moments i realize that i'm fighting the same fights as my parents, my grandparents, and my great grandparents. but you know what keeps me going, i fight those fights so they don't have to. so my children and your children don't have to. >> and she'll be joining a congress that is the most diverse in history. she's the third african-american elected to congress from virginia and the first woman, as we said before here. but look, she's a veteran legislature in her own right, from the virginia house of delegates, the virginia senate. she ran for governor in virginia in 2021. came up short in that primary. but now will be serving here in washington. so, again, does not change the

>> cnn's randi kaye is in walterboro, south carolina. so randi, what did he tell jurors today? >> this is not only a longtime law partner, but a longtime friend we're talking about. they've known each other for about 35 years. this witness testified for quite some time. he was called by the defense, but he also seemed to help the state and the prosecutors in much of his system. certainly, first, for the defense, he talked about some of the -- what he seemed to suggest was sloppy investigations being done at the crime scene, how they didn't block the crime scene off. there were crimes and people coming and going. he talked about going into the feed room and finding a piece of his skull after the investigation in that area, he says, was completed. he also, in terms of helping the state, did go on to identify alex murdaugh's voice on that very key piece of evidence. that 8:44 a.m. video, from the night of the murders, at the dog kennels. now, he is identifying alex murdaugh's voice on that. alex murdaugh has told

investigators and others that he was not there at the time of the murders earlier in the night. one other piece of testimony from him. he talked about how alex murdaugh changed his story when he arrived at the scene of the murders and in which order he checked his family. whether or not he checked his son, paul, first or maggie first. watch what that exchange looked like in court today. >> i've heard it both ways. and i don't know whether it's just -- i don't know whether it's just because of the trauma of the situation, but one time it was -- the first time i remember, he checked mag qgie first, then went to paul. and i heard him say at one point it was paul, then has said tha when he arrived at the crime scene to find his wife and son dead, he checked their pulse and then he also tried to turn his son, paul, over, a couple of times. but of course, the looming

question today that's really hanging over this courthouse is whether or not alex murdaugh is going to take the stand. it doesn't seem as though the defense has decided. they were trying to put some parameters on his testimony. if he does take the stand earlier this morning without the jury present in the courtroom, asking the judge if he would limit it to just cross-examination about the murders, not about these alleged financial crimes that the state has put forward, as to why he would have killed his wife and son. the judge has not decided on how much of that testimony would be limited. >> victor, bianna? >> randi kaye, thank you. the epa chief says that norfolk southern will clean up and fix this mess after the toxic train derailment. we'll have a live update from east palestine, ohio. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

so we know that exercise can benefit both your body and your brain but a new study suggests being physically active at any age during adulthood is linked to having better cognitive health later in life. >> jacqueline howard joins us. this confirms that exercise is indeed a wonder drug. >> reporter: it does confirm that and shows that you can start ramping up your exercise regimen really at any stage, i mean, it's never too late at any age you can start to invest in your health with exercise and still get cognitive benefits so for this particular study researchers looked at more than 1400 adults over decades between the ages of 36 and 69 and they checked in with them about five times during that time period to see how much exercise they were getting and they saw the adults that got regular exercise during that time period had better

cognitive health at age 69 but also those who may have started later on in life with really investing in their health and ramping up their exercise, they also had cognitive benefits so the takeaway here is that it's never too late to really get into a regular exercise schedule for yourself. >> how much exercise for this cognitive benefit? >> reporter: yeah, well, that was surprising to me. the researchers found you may still get the benefit if you work out at least once a month. now, of course, it's recommended to get way more exercise than that. the u.s. federal guidelines are to get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week so that can be 30 minutes, five times a week, two one-hour workouts plus 30 minutes and a way to add more physical activity into your daily regimen go for a walk before or after dinner and have a workout partner to hold you accountable so there are easy ways to make

sure you are getting the recommended physical activity you need. that's what recommended but the study showed just the little bit can have benefit. >> bianna, during the commercial breaks we review our workout routines in the morning. >> you got a pretty tough one. >> lifting. you're running. >> it all helps. thanks very much. president biden is on his way home after he rallied support for ukraine nearly a year to the day after russia's invasion. we'll bring you his message to other world leaders ahead. th me. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. you love closing a deal.
