>> translator: it depends entirely on you whether we all survive or whether ukraine survives. every day, every hour depends on you, the ukrainian soldier. you are our most important person who is standing and thanks to whom millions of ukrainians are standing and thanks to whom ukraine will survive. thanks to you, glory to ukraine will ring out forever. >> let's bring in our chief international correspondent clarissa ward on the ground in kyiv. clarissa, always great to see you. so, tell us what it's like one year in on the ground there. >> reporter: it's really a mixed picture, alisyn. the very fact i'm talking to you from here in kyiv is something that a year ago we might not have expected because all the intelligence services were
8:03 pm
saying the city would likely fall in a matter of days and yet here we are, it's still standing. the lights are still on as you can see behind me despite the fact that russia has been launching a vicious campaign throughout this winter targeting critical infrastructure, and the ukrainians have made a number of successful counteroffensives taking back a lot of territory, pushing russian forces out, but at the same time, the cost has been huge. and the reality is, in many of these areas, alisyn, even though they've been taken back by ukrainian forces, there are no proper services, the destruction is just jaw dropping. the shelling is still regular and so it doesn't feel like the kind of victory where you're talking about a celebration. it talks about -- it feels more like a long, hard slog that ukrainians understand, that they need to be patient with, and bear, but which is really taking a huge toll on this country.
8:04 pm
>> it could be about to get worse if that's imaginable. you've been reporting about the growing fear putin will make this aggressive new push on the ground to mark the start of this second year, so how are ukrainians preparing? >> reporter: well, i think this is why you're hearing ukrainian officials again and again saying, listen, if we're going to have a real shot at winning this war and winning it quickly, then we really need heavier weaponry. we really need long-range artillery and f-16 fighter jets and things of this nature. this has become a mantra as they desperately try to rally support and there is concern. the russians are pushing hard on these front lines, and they are willing unlike the ukrainians to just push thousands and thousands, tens of thousands even of young men into what they call the meat grinder, there's no real respect for human life here, which means that even though they may not be as
8:05 pm
strategic adversary they can be effective on the battlefield, just because they are willing to expend so much manpower and so much firepower. so ukraine is, you know, got tanks arriving, other weaponry that's been promised, much needed ammunition but still pushing hard for that heavier weaponry. >> let's talk about this special report you have coming up showing the human toll. let's play a clip. >> when you look at it now, what do you feel? [ speaking non-english ] >> reporter: the missile sliced nastya's apartment in half killing her parents in the kitchen while inches away nastya clupg on ng on to life.
8:06 pm
>> i think for a lot of people it's hard to understand why russia would use this huge missile that's intended to take out an aircraft carrier in a residential area. how do you try to understand why russia would do something like this? >> i don't understand. >> can you tell me a little about your mum and dad, what they were like as people? [ speaking non-english ]
8:07 pm
>> do you ever wonder why you were saved? it's this extraordinary image that we see of you surviving the unsurvivable. [ speaking non-english ] >> take your time if you want to take a break. >> my god, clarissa, those images of her being rescued and her standing on that burning building and then what she's saying is so powerful.
8:08 pm
>> reporter: so powerful and it's so heartbreaking. she lost both her parents the month beforehand. she lost her boyfriend who was she was so in love with. he was killed in fighting on the front lines in the kharkiv region and in some ways she is a kind of symbol of ukraine, standing and surviving this unimaginable loss, having sacrificed so much, holding her head up high, but really reminding all of us, i think, of the devastating human toll of this war. >> clarissa, as always, your reporting, your stories are so helpful for all of us to see. thank you very much and we'll speak to you soon. >> thanks, alisyn. please join cnn chief international correspondent clarissa ward as she goes back to ukraine one year after the war began, see what she found in this cnn special report, "the will to win: ukraine at war" airs sunday night at 8:00.
8:09 pm
now to president biden saying the u.s. is ruling out ukraine's request for fighter jets for the moment. here's what he told abc news tonight. >> we know the germans are now sending tanks in after the u.s. said it would send abrams tanks as well but know president zelenskyy continues to say what he really needs are f-16s. will you send f-16s? >> look, we're sending him what our seasoned military thinks he needs now. he needs tanks. he needs artillery. he needs air defense including another himars. there's things he needs now that we're sending him to put him in a position to be able to make gains this spring and this summer going into the fall. >> you don't think he needs f-16s now. >> no, he doesn't need f-16s now. >> is that a never? >> look, first of all, the idea that we know exactly what's going to be needed a year or two, three, but there is no basis upon which there is a
8:10 pm
rationale according to our military to provide f-16s now. >> but you're not ruling it out. >> i am ruling it out for now. >> let's bring in michael, the former spokesperson for the organization for security and co-operation in europe and joins us from kyiv. michael, great to see you. you have spent much of this past year living in ukraine, so tell us, i mean you heard there president biden saying he's ruling it out for now. what do you think ukrainians need most right now. >> good to be with you, alisyn. well, i can tell you those words will not go over well here in ukraine, especially after the fuzzy warm visit president biden did a few days ago here. the feeling here is definitely give us everything president zelenskyy asked for, attack helicopters and the weaponry president biden cited but also includes those fighter jets and i do wonder, i do wonder what
8:11 pm
president biden said to president zelenskyy when they met here when the president asked for those fighters jets and, you know, i'm not pleased with what i'm hearing out of the mouths of former u.s. officials, the former deputy secretary-general who is an american said, well, the reason we can't give fighter jets is because it takes a long time to train ukrainian fighter pilots. well, had they done this before the full-scale invasion, ukraine pilots would be in a position probably right now to get into the cockpits of those jet, so i think it's a very weak argument and i think it only serves to prolong the war even further. >> michael, you sent us some video you've taken of the emptiness of the streets there. the emptiness of store shelf, the emptiness of train stations. we'll play some of that for our viewers right now and so what is it like to be living there? >> sure, well, it's very sad actually and i've been here on and off since before the start of the war. you know, you can see the
8:12 pm
sadness, i wouldn't say hopelessness but sadness etched on the faces almost everyone you encounter here. when there's no end, i think a lot about my friends who have small and medium size businesses who are basically on life support. huge damage done to the agricultural sector which represents a big part of the ukrainian economy and then, alisyn, quickly, the overall mental health. i remember when you and i were on air way back in april. i just came back from the area and saw the strikes which have been increasing on civilian areas, you know, those images of the bomb craters with shredded teddy bears in them and broken toys and remnants of kids. you know, this is happening on an increasing basis, we talked -- you talked earlier about that strike on dnipro so this war needs to end quickly to avoid more human suffering. >> you probably just heard
8:13 pm
clarissa ward's reporting there that there's reason to believe that russia may be preparing for an even bigger assault now that it's to mark the one year of the war. is there a sense of that there? >> i think there's a fear of that here that, you know, they know the russian mind very well here and have watched mr. putin carefully. this is not a man who is easily defeated, who retreats, so i think there is this big fear he will make another strike from the north, from the east and from the south and as clarissa mentioned, they have no qualms about using the human meat grinder approach to try and strike at ukraine but let's be clear if we can about one thing, if mr. putin isn't stopped and he's made clear that he would like to re-create the soviet union, take more countries under his fold that this will not only severely weaken democracy but also embolden other would-be
8:14 pm
leaders, autocrats other around the world including china and that will bring the war -- this war to the doorstep of every american of every european, freedom loving democracies around the world. >> let's talk about china. as you probably know, china has sort of floated this idea that they could broker some sort of peace deal. president biden was asked about that today. let's listen. >> what do you make of this chinese peace plan floated overnight that putin is now applauding today? >> i think you answered the question. putin is applauding it. so how could it be any good? i'm not being facetious, i'm being deadly earnest. i've seen nothing in the plan that would indicate there is something that would be beneficial to anyone other than russia if the chinese plan were followed. the idea that china is going to be negotiating the outcome of a war that's a totally unjust war for ukraine is just not
8:15 pm
rational. >> your final thoughts, michael? >> sure, well, the chinese 12-point peace plan is more of a position paper than a peace plan itself. i think it was jake sullivan saying they could have stopped at point number one and put the emphasis on respecting the sovereignty of nations, but, you know, the chinese, two points here, number one they've been working closely with the russians over the months including during the covid pandemic to help them inoculate themselves against western sanctions and, number two, i believe there's reporting by others that they're working behind the scenes to arm russia. there is reporting they're negotiating the purchase, russia negotiating the purchase from china of up to 100 strike drones with 35 to 50 kilogram warheads, so there you go. if they don't do it obviously they're going to do it through back door channels such as north korea, iran and others, so i don't believe the chinese are
8:16 pm
genuinely saying they're for the withdrawal of russia or for genuine peace in this part of the world. >> michael, stay safe. back with me we have frank luntz, errol louis and mondaire jones. let's start with the politics and get to what frank was saying earlier, the american people still favor america's help to ukraine. but, you know, i don't know how much credence to give these little factions starting to pipe up and i don't know if kevin mccarthy will give them much credence but there are the marjorie taylor greene and lauren boeberts who say janet yellen announced another $10 billion in aid to ukraine. biden's blank check strategy is not sustainable considering the many crises at home he's ignoring. that's a common theme. focus just here. >> those people don't want to
8:17 pm
sell the crisis at home either but to your point, we have to convey to the american people, when i say, people of good conscience have to convey that it is in our geopolitical national interest to help the free people of ukraine fend off this unjust war being waged by russia for a variety of reasons not least of which russia is a nuclear power who will not stop at ukraine and who will increasingly pose a threat to our sovereignty. but also because china, which i think most people acknowledge is an even bigger threat than russia is going to see a russian victory as an excuse or permission, shall we say, for it to then expand its reach including through invading taiwan but also not stopping there and, you know, it's going to be a lot harder to sanction china than it is to sanction russia because our economies are so interconnected. >> yeah, and speaking of the
8:18 pm
economies, i was interested to see michael showing us the mall that looks something like a ghost town there and i had thought so much about the death and the people killed but just that it's withering, that these cities that were thriving are now withering because of the war. >> i mean the images are devastating and i think we have to push ourselves to not look away. there's the human toll like you said, 8,000 -- at least noncombatant lives in the u.n., that's probably an underestimation. 8 million displaced from their homes. look at the impossible position that zelenskyy is in. he has to simultaneous keep up some morale in his own country and maintain the resolve of western allies, it's a really challenging position and i think just as ordinary citizens we can keep forcing ourselves to keep staring at what's going on. >> frank, let's talk about popular opinion. the poll we have is this ap poll, how much of a role should the u.s. have in the russia/ukraine war?
8:19 pm
it is down from major war back in may, 32% felt a major role, 49% felt a minor role, no role was 19%. today, well, january, it's gone down a little bit from major role, 26% minor role, same, 49%. no role, has gone up a little. >> the public is still overwhelmingly supportive and look at zelenskyy as being this great world leader, he's the most -- outside of the u.s. he's m the most popular leader among the american people. they're not looking away. they see the video you just showed. sees the suffering of people and it's undeserved. you cannot defend it. and, third, as a historian in addition to being a pollster in is 1939. we've seen this. our grandparents have lived this. what do we not understand? if you don't respond to aggression, you get more. if you don't stand up for human rights, you get human suffering. we've learned this already.
8:20 pm
>> errol? >> yeah, absolutely and those lessons are really guiding biden's policy as well as a critical majority of the u.s. congress. we're right up to the 75th anniversary of the successor to world war ii which was the marshall plan and if you think this is expensive what we're spending now, they spent over four-year period the equivalent in modern dollars of 170 plus billion dollars and it was necessary and it was effective and it made all of the difference and we now have something like half a trillion -- over 520 i think -- $100 billion of trade with europe every single year. so this may be expensive and there may be some hesitancy and maybe a desire, how come we can't fix our local bridge and sending money to ukraine but to understand the history and bigger picture that is the job of the congress and so far i think they are holding together with a critical mass and if the public supports it i think
8:21 pm
that's what we should expect to see. >> i want to thank cnn for that video. and i hope that people tune in tomorrow because you're doing a service and that is something that is not happening. too often we argue and bicker back and forth. you are providing a public service to teach us and remind us not only of our freedoms but also our responsibilities. >> thank you for saying that. it's sunday at 8:00, clarissa ward, i would watch her do anything and her reporting is stellar and brings it into all of our living rooms. thank you for that. back here another close call on the runway. it's the fourth time this year. we'll bring you the details and discuss what's going on at airports. and i just didn't feel well. but thenen i found clearchoic.

their landing right as a skywest flight was taking off from the same runway. you can hear the confusion on this air traffic control recording. >> affirmative runway 33 -- >> are you off the runway yet? >> no, we're going around. >> yeah, is he off the runway? that's an important question, i think. this is happening a few weeks after an incident in honolulu where a united airlines 777 jet crossed the runway as a smaller cargo plane was landing. days before that an american airlines flight at jfk crossed in front of a delta plane trying to take off and then there was the near miss in austin where a fedex plane almost landed on top of a southwest airlines flight. that's bring in frank luntz, errol louis, emma goldberg and mondaire jones. some system shutting down that needs to be updated and lawmakers can look into this? >> i think we've got the relevant federal agencies

hopefully looking that this but it is of concern to anyone who flies on a regular basis or semi regular basis this is not something that should be happening and how much is human error, the ntsb will hopefully tell us more. >> i hope so because, you know, at first it's like, oh, there is a scary near miss and talk about it but it's a one-off. every single week i'm reporting on some sort of near-miss. i don't know that it's taking a toll -- i don't know that people aren't flying as a result yet, emma but they're concerned. >> absolutely. i saw this news and thought i've seen this movie before. like very recently and even before that there was the meltdown at southwest over the holidays, i think people are looking at the infrastructure problems right now and thinking, infrastructure is a reflection of, you know, how strong the country is and how safe people feel traveling and then on top of that you have the news, for example, in east palestine, you're seeing all around these severe breakdowns in infrastructure and i think people want to feel safe and
8:28 pm
they want to know that, you know, no airlines or anything are prioritizing profits over the safety and comfort of consumers and on top of that the faa hasn't had a confirmed administrator so i think there's a cascade of issues that's making people unsafe traveling and that makes them feel unsafe generally. >> such a good point. i think there are transportation infrastructure issues we have seen that are reason to be nervous. >> yes, and it's not just the physical infrastructure, though, it's the sort of commercial infrastructure of the industry. there's been a monopolization. there are only a couple of places where you can get planes made and only a handful of carriers left, they all merged. they have had a hard time economically, there's not enough money to invest in new systems, stock prices are dropping and have sort of a hiring crisis. they don't have enough personnel to do what they need to do and trying to solve the wrong
8:29 pm
problem and mesmerized by selling you the last possible seat and to crowd the planes and cancel the ones empty and so forth. that's not the problem. they have to get a viable and safe system together and hopefully it will not take a tragedy for them to realize that, selling a few more seats at a slightly lower price is not worth the catastrophic impact of actually losing their main selling point which is that you can get a safe flight almost anywhere in the world. >> i hope they're not reactive this time and they're proactive and all of these close calls are allowing them to be proactive about something. you're a world traveler, frank. does this make you nervous? >> not at all. i fly -- 2019 i flew 319,000 miles and on the road in a plane almost 300 days. now, i did get sick in 2020, but it's safe. it's -- you are more likely to get into an accident and have a
8:30 pm
real problem on your way home tonight. >> for sure and we have always -- i always agreed with that but just right now there seems to be a cluster of close calls we hadn't had. >> they're close calls because in some way the system works to override what's happening. if it's human error, the system fixes it. if the system is messed up your human error steps in. it's never been safer to fly than right now. does southwest have a problem? absolutely. do our airlines, our airports in some cases unable to take the extra passengers, sure. but in terms of safety, you should feel -- you should be able to get on a plane and go to sleep and you're going to arrive where you want to be safe and secure guaranteed. >> thank you for that guarantee. okay, well, problem solved. >> frank says it's guaranteed. >> you're all set. >> i will ensure anyone on this panel. >> frank is just dropping deals tonight like this. i like that, frank.

suggests sleep may be one way to make that happen. according to the study in the clinical cardiology journal people with insomnia are more than 1.6 times more likely to have a heart attack than people who sleep well. researchers in a separate study found that getting good sleep can add years to your life. all right, let's bring in our guests, we have frank, errol and mondaire back and emma joy, a senior in college, i won't say which one and host of everyone and their mom podcast on npr. okay, it's hard. date to have you here. >> good evening, alisyn. >> in your harvard voice. >> how much as a senior in college do you sleep per night? >> i am maybe the worst college student to be representative of my peers. i get a full eight hours every night. >> good for. >> you how do you do it. >> time management. i guess i'm better than everybody. i cut off my work by 10:00. i can't think after 10:00. >> my brain freezes too and i have to go to sleep.
8:37 pm
how much sleep do you get, mondaire? >> that is so impressive. i used to do all-nighters often in college. i usually get between 6 1/2 to 7 hours. i would like to get 8 hours but i think that's probably what i need on a daily basis. >> you could go to sleep earlier. >> i could. i could have the time management that you have that i'm jealous of. there's too much content on social media. >> no, just stop. stop, turn that off and just stop that. okay. errol. >> claim your phone. about 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 hour. >> oh, my gosh. >> 4 1/2 is not enough. >> well, what can i tell you? >> here again, just stop -- what are you doing that's -- >> i'll be here till midnight and be on with boris at 6:00 tomorrow. >> don't blame cnn. [ laughter ] >> you know, in all seriousness i remember a time in my life when i'd be up all night worried about how to pay my bills and i

8:40 pm
not focused on life. >> all right, you're supposed to clear your mind. i'm going to work with you on this because i feel -- >> call it deep breathing. >> deep breathing. we'll say that. >> that's easier. >> here's something concerning because i need nine hours of sleep. i always have. i need nine hours of sleep. i'm exhausted if i get any less. and i know that that's not realistic and earth doesn't often allow for that but listen to this, people who slept six hours had a lower risk than those who slept nine hours or more so you can't win. sleeping nine hours they're saying is overdoing it but i like a good nine-hour sleep. >> sleep is one of the most underappreciated things in our daily lives. i took a class in college called sleep and dreams, outout to professor -- >> what university? what -- >> stanford. dr. -- >> parents, i want parents to know you're spending $60,000 -- >> 80.

>> $80,000 a year so your kids can study sleep. >> i have not yet had a heart attack, thank god and i think people should appreciate the fact they don't get adequate sleep their sleep debt starts to build up. they're less happy. they're more likely to fall asleep while driving, less productive at work and sometimes you become so acuss many to the to less sleep that you don't fully appreciate how much better you would feel if you were getting those eight or nine hours that you're talking about. >> thank you to professor demint for that wisdom. we'll work with you, favre. that is our goal. >> tell the professor, do not call me. do not wake me up. >> we'll put you in the study. >> we need to talk about cocaine bear. the chaotic, bloody horror movie that's hitting theaters this weekend. it is actually based on a real story, we've learned. >> what is wrong with that bear?

was tempted to see it from the moment i heard the premise, the fact that cocaine fell from the sky and then they found a bear that had overdosed on it. that alone is a draw for me. i don't need to see the trailer. i will go to the theater with any of you. >> the trailer is demented. i'm sure the whole movie is, emma. >> i want to say leo dicaprio is amazing as the bear. i'm happy he gets to do another oscar winning picture. >> i'm going to see it. it's a no-brainer for me now. >> literally a no-brainer. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> see, i thought it was a dark comedy, because the people who are in it seem like comedic but it's actually a slasher film. like i think it gets gross. >> yeah, no, i've seen sort of torn limbs and blood. >> yeah. >> all over -- >> the bear gets out of control. >> was d.a.r.e. involved in
8:49 pm
this. >> there was some sort of accidental drop from a drug trafficker of cocaine and a bear did ingest it and died. that's the end of the story not that the bear terrorizes everybody it meets in a campsite. >> what if he had lived? >> they're taking poetic liberties. >> to say the least. it seems to be in the same genre as "snakes on a plane." fan driven, you know, it doesn't necessarily have a moral or an arc or any of the things we're used to seeing in a movie. >> in other words, it's no the a good film? >> well, no, it's a particular kind of film and it's just pure fun. pure bloody fun for those who like that -- >> truly bloody fun. the director is elizabeth banks, that's an interesting choice and told "time" she was drawn to the project after reading the script in april of 2020 when everything was at a standstill and chaotic because of the pandemic. i just thought, wow, there is no greater emblem of chaos than a bear high on cocaine directing this film felt almost cathartic,
8:50 pm
i could tame the chaos a little bit. >> be a bear's advocate. i'm honestly happy for this bear. he has a redemption arc having the time of his life. he's doing a little white angel dust, hitting the town. getting a good dinner in, you know and honestly it's, what, like 11:45 on a friday night. i'm sure there's a lot of cocaine bears out watching now. >> for the cocaine bear -- >> good to know in april 2020 when i was running my first campaign for congress they were ideating on films like this they were so bored. >> i don't think we can blame the pandemic for everything. "cocaine bear" is not because of the pandemic. i love elizabeth banks but, no, you just wanted to do "cocaine bear" because you think it's funny, and you're right. >> i accuse of her wanting to do "cocaine bear." >> wanted to make the movie because it's funny and you had a great time, i hope doing it.
