4:02 pm
money already next year, we need foreign investors. here's the thing, he's in a position to know he's an old guard, close to putin many years and loyal to him, long been sanctioned by the u.s. most recently because of the war in ukraine but it's not a long thing, it's a long-time relationship. in fact one time i had to meet with him in canada because he was banded from the united states. the u.s. governor said, he does not separate himself from the russian state, he's been investigated for money laundering illegally wire tapping a government official and taking part next torsion and racketeering for bribing a government official ordered the murder of a businessman and links to a crime group. the alleged murder is part of the reason he was banned from the united states. what's more, he has the numbers to back his warning up he's making now on the cash issue,
4:03 pm
russian government 35% january compared to a year ago. from 59%. he did speak out against the ukraine war in the early days after putin's invasion and that was because he knew it would be bad economically for russia and himself, at that time, putin didn't listen, in fact, even as in the inner circle is giving that warning, putin is giving a different impression about the economy >> the russian economy proved itself to be much more resilient than years past >> putin sells the russian public the story he wants them to believe he says that so they will believe it. calling the out saying that it's not true comes at incredible cost. you may remember we told you last week about this russian lawmaker, the one who posted the video of himself, with the stage from putin hang noodles on his
4:04 pm
ear. demonstrates simplistically translates to stop lying, the lawfirm is charged and set to go to trial on march 7. and according to russian state media, it isn't the onion and the reason for putin's anger is the failure on the front lines, his forces tonight failing to make major gains in ukraine, ukrainian air force claiming it shot down this russian fighter jet. you see the smoke coming from the wreckage that ukraine said this was a russian fighter bomber and in bakhmut, another day of death and no victory. video out front of the deadly battles there, this is a ukrainian soldier firing a grenade launcher at a group of russians then you'll see runs back to his armored car. throws it in reverse, you'll see here and the armored vehicle comes under fire. now, in this case, you see that incoming fire. filming this, i want to let you
4:05 pm
think we understand this particular situation seems to have ended with them surviving. the battalion it said the armor was able to with stand the sniper bullets. i want to begin there in eastern ukraine with alex, i know you were trying to go towards bakhmut today. what happened? >> reporter: we were trying to go with a team towards bakhmut that was trying to evacuate civilians from the city remember there are four, 5,000 civilians killed in the city, that mission was called off when they signed out a critical bridge was blown up by russians on a major supply route. made ukraine tough site in bakhmut tougher, we understand from ukraine's military russian forces are trying to still end circle the ukrainians a as their desperately trying to hold ground. >> ukraine forces severed this destroyed bridge mower bakhmut on last main supply route.
4:06 pm
bombs ukrainian soldier told cnn by a russian missile meaning reforcing troops or getting people out immediately becoming harder, we were on that road military vehicles bombing towards the fight and coming back. a vsign for victory, russian forces made progress end circling the city leaving only the west open to ukrainian troops, the ferocious fighting left thousands dead on both sides. wag they are forces, which led the russian charge paid a particularly high price. . >> today wagner's leader on the outskirts of bakhmut released a video claiming quote, they're tightening, he called on president zelenskyy to withdrawal troops saying give them a chance to leave the city. he regularly exaggerates
4:07 pm
wagner's gain. ukrainian commanders admit they're facing withering russian attacks an eastern commander posted photos of a visit to bakhmut where he was briefed on the problems of ukrainian defenses despite no announcement of a withdrawal, some possible signs appeared this bakhmut rail bridge strategically bombed by ukrainian soldiers to make it impassable. >> head of a ukrainian reconnaissance unit saying they received an order to immediately leave bakhmut without a reason. neighboring soldiers from an artillery unit told us they have no plans to stop fighting here. hearing what could then happen. the problem is not just russia taking bakhmut, they will not stop and will keep destroying the next cities. we need to wait for reenforcements to come and kick
4:08 pm
them out. >> so it is unclear whether those reenforcements are coming erin but when speaking with the soldiers they told us they want to keep fighting in bakhmut. they think if they lose bakhmut, if russia takes bakhmut, russia will use that as a jumping off point to keep pushing no ukrainian, take that next town where we were and set sights on our towns and cities deeper into eastern ukraine. >> thank you very much from eastern ukraine up front dan rice ukrainian forces and president of the university in kiev, he returned from ukraine, a professor of international affairs and the great granddaughter of a former soviet leader, thanks so much, good to see you, dan you'll be spending more time taking on new position at the american university in kiev. when you see bakhmut and what's happening there, that bridge being billion out that alex was
4:09 pm
just reporting on, you know, saying surrender we'll get you, seems from what we're hearing this has been going to the ukrainian's way, millimeter by millimeter. i guess some experts are saying looking give it up in bakhmut. lose the battle win the war >> it appears that the feared russian offensive is in bakhmut. they're losing a lot of casualties, over 20,000 a month dead. and three times that wounded since november they lot of 75,000 killed in action. putin is betting everything in bakhmut which is not a strategic location, they're giving up some strategy territory, it's a 70,000 city basically is not strategic and has basically no one left and the entire russian army is being degraded and by may they will be a leaderless army and that's when ukraine can counter attack >> you think that's how they're playing this, the strategically
4:10 pm
doing this now, you know, this isn't a context they're going to run out of cash early next year. as we said, he called for an end of the war in ukraine in the beginning, this is somebody putin known he's been very much in that circle, how significant is it that he's saying with the conference in siberia will will be no money next year >> he also was very open that we need the world, we need, it will be over, he promised russian economy wouldn't survive but then it sort of somehow survived. and he himself said a couple of months ago that apparently russian market economy turned out to be much better than he thought it would be, once in awhile he comes with this warning that for now, he can get away with because it is, of course, russia will run out of money, but i really don't think this is putin's concern anymore because putin will fight until he can with the money or
4:11 pm
without. and business is now obliged essentially to pay for this war to certain degree. >> and so you know, on this, john kirby abby phillip giving the russia still on the table from china, that's something putin is trying to do, you talk about bakhmut the reality in russia, needs something >> running out of everything. >> would anything china could do or would do in the way they would do it which wouldn't be like a blatant in your face here it is, would that change anything on the ground. >> representative mccall said they fear that china will give 100 drones to russia. just starting to give arms to russia lethal arms will be dangerous and an escalation of the war, i think basically xi jinping has seen a master class whatnot to do, basically putin make every strategic blunder to join him now would be fatal, one hand trying to negotiate peace
4:12 pm
and the other negotiate arms. >> what's the right way to describe 100 drones a drop in the bucket or meaningful >> it would be symbolic, they're going in to support them. drones would be able to help the russian artillery fire become more accurate and it's a big artillery war. >> the kremlin said strengthen the border what they call a terror attack. armed ukrainians raided it. and putin called the group neo nazi and said this. >> it is precisely these people who aimed to deprive of our historical memory. of our history, traditions, our language, nothing will work for them. we will crush them. >> now, of course, putin delayed a trip he was going to make to the region, whole region. claiming that this was the reason. what do you read into what's
4:13 pm
happening here? >> it was a terrorist attack. it was an attack on the russian territory, we know how putin take this seriously because not only i'm sure people in the kremlin are upset but then becomes a next cycle of propaganda basically validates all the thing about the nazis and it's things they, and so on and so forth and we'll crush them, russians don't be upset we'll strengthen it, make sure that nothing will happen to you. so basically that those rhetoric helps him to push the war forward. >> but it's rhetoric. >> and it's also the war forward, because every time when something happens on the russian territory ukraine is being bombed twice or three times as much >> as we said, fighter jets, one plane. thank you both very much and again, dan i'll be heading back to ukraine in the university of

court saying again he did in the kill his wife and son, i'm innocent i would never hurt my wife, maggie or my son paul paul, but judge offered a different take, might not have been you. might have been the monster you've become when you take 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 opioid pills, maybe you become another person. >> judge newman saying that us trial was quote, one of the most troublesing cases of his career. >> i know you have to see paul and maggie during the night times when you're attempting to go to sleep, i'm sure they come visit you. sure. sure. >> prosecutor again pointing out murdaugh's lies. >> lack of remorse and effortless way in which elis including here sitting in the

4:32 pm
paul which were very raw and real. we're appealing and feel good about an appeal. >> he's lying in his teeth and admitted that. he's not a murderer. >> and the defense says that the inclusion of the financial charges the decision by judge clifton newman will likely be the basis of the appeal, that's they say that's why they found the jury to be a liar and cheat, that that it was prejudicial he admitted to it on the stand, but erin i spoke with the attorney general of south carolina and tells me that the first 99 charges pending against alex murdaugh the majority are financial, dozens of victims and intend to pursue those charges as of now he'll spend the rest of his life in prison for the murder of his wife and son. >> thank you much, and state attorney in palm beach county florida, been watching here with you and me and diane last night when this verdict came down, in

that clip diane played, his lawyer, he's a liar and thief but not a murderer trying to own that part of it as always, and did didn't have remorse, didn't appeal for kindness from the judge. going all out for an appeal. >> alex murdaugh knew he would get life terms from this judge, he's playing for appeal. he wants to be known as a thief but he doesn't want to be known as a murderer family annihilator he was convicted of both counts of murder that will go to his grave with him whether he likes it or not. >> do you think they say that a i feel good about an appeal? the point is is there any reason to believe that? >> that's what all lawyers do when we lose, we'll appeal and appeals rarely work. in this case, it's not going to work, one ground the judge led in evidence of past financial crimes. and you can't show past crimes
4:34 pm
that prove that he did it here but the purpose for allowing that in was solely to show motiving why alex murdaugh murdered his family. the prosecutor did go to the line, elicited testimony that said because of the financial crimes he's a bad guy, and that does give grounds for appeal but in the 18ed it won't work because the reason may convicted was because he was a liar. a lack of credibility. it was that he lied about not being at the kennel and took the stand and lied about why he was lying. if this goes to the pellet court, they will say if there was an error it's harmless >> when the jurors spoke to news about the issue of credibility what they saw when they were sitting there. here's what the juror said. >> i didn't see any true remorse or any compassion or anything.

>> he cried a lot on the stand. >> never cried. >> he never cried? what do you mean. >> all he did was blow snot >> did you not see tears >> no tears >> how do you know he wasn't crying, >> i saw his eyes >> this is about this was an emotional take there. >> you have a lot the of experts the last five weeks talk about this case, did you hear one expert say he's going to be found guilty because his tear ducts were dry, this is why juries are unpredictable. that that's going to motivate a juror he didn't blew snot and not tears? not one expert predicted that only thing predictable about juries is they're unpredictable. >> next, this is one of disney oversight board members

disrespected donald trump long enough they don't respect you read the depositions. deposition they have a fear a loathing and contempt for you. the murdaughs immediately have to start covering president trump. >> calling on shareholders to take action, as we know from tucker carlton's text messages his motivation, pushing what he made clear were lies about the last election was because he was upset about the company's stock price going down, tom forman is out front with how tucker carlton went all in >> when donald trump lost the presidency, many america americans will never accept the result >> when a president fell short of mid-term goals. >> certainly looks like it's rig >> now, tucker carlton keeps pushing unproven claims that democrats are somehow cheating.
4:50 pm
>> it is galling to be lectured about democracy by man who took power in an election to sketchy that many americans don't believe it was real. >> at fox election denialism has been broadly promote by many stars, but they're carson of fervor stood out from the start. >> you suspect this was stolen rigged you're on to something. >> the security of elections and credibility of election officials >> people in charge rigged the dpam. >> repeatedly pushed wild conspiracies about machine switching votes and occasionally said that's not been proven >> . >> never mind that such claims helped spur a massive lawsuit against fox by the dominion voting systems company, which denies any wrongdoing, never mind a dominion filing in that case showed carlson privately
4:51 pm
called accusations of election fraud with no evidence, ludicrous, totally off the rails and shockingly reckless. on air and online, carlson has howled about how unfairly he and other conservatives are allegedly treated. >> they are tying white nationalist terrorism to trump voters. >> claiming washington insiders are using the 2021 attack on the capitol to smear patriotic peaceful americans. >> it was not even close to an insurrection. >> court records even say when a fox reporter dared to fact check a false claim by the former president, carlson quickly wrote, please get her fired. it's measurably hurting the company, the stock price is down. not surprisingly, democrats were enraged when the new republican speaker kevin mccarthy released all the security footage of the january 6th attack to carson exclusively. >> one of the people who's done more to destroy faith in this democracy than just about anyone else. >> the man who is still not saying clearly and openly joe

biden won and donald trump lost fair and square. >> was the 2020 election a miracle? honestly, we don't know, and we don't expect to get an answer to it tonight. >> we asked fox for any further comment on this, they sent us this long release that they have where they basically argue in the dominion case this is a great big story and everyone including tucker carlson was doing what journalists do, just asking questions. what's not clear here, erin, is these questions were asked in the wake of the election. that's a long time ago now, and they were all answered. there was nothing wrong with the election, nothing that would have made a difference. and yet, tucker carlson and some others will not let it go. >> tom, thank you very much. it is incredible to hide behind the just asking questions when you know that you're asking a question about something that is untrue, so by asking it you're having people believe it's untrue. that's what's at the heart of the case and the whole malice issue. it kind of defies belief that they think anyone would fall for that. bill crystal who founded the
4:53 pm
conservative magazine where he was tucker carlson's boss, this is what it comes down to, this whole we were just asking questions, right? that appears to be the defense. you're known tucker for many years. do you think that he really believed in the election lies? i mean, his texts show that he didn't, or are you surprised about how he said one thing on the air and was saying the opposite off air? >> i haven't spoken to him for quite a while, so maybe he's changed some, no, he doesn't believe the lies. he's lying. people are unwilling to say the obvious fact. it's not that he's asking questions. it's not that he's a little bit disingenuous, he says different things on air than off air. he is consciously lying for the sake of power, for the sake of money, for the sake of celebrity, for the sake of his own -- what he seses as his own
4:54 pm
stature in trump america, trump administration certainly, and there you are, and that's true of others at fox as well, and fox sanctions it. let's just be honest. this is not like a confusion or a misunderstanding or a little bit of lax, you know, rules and administration by fox. >> yeah, and you know, one interesting thing too, you know, when you think about it is bannon today, right? bannon coming out. now, i know bannon is kind of trying to say he's more of the real right winger, right? the real voice of the people as opposed to fox news. that's true. what's interesting is it seems that fox's hope has been that their base viewer will not pay any attention to any of this. they're not talking about it on their network. no one's going to hear about it. steve bannon went out at the top conservative event and said fox news disrespects you. don't have anything to do with them. t does that matter? >> that's, of course, because steve bannon remains a trump supporter. trump pardoned him for the crimes of which he was convicted
4:55 pm
and fox has turned to desantis, i guess at murdoch's direction. there's a fight here among the different kinds of liars and fraudsters, frankly, and you know, they're sniping at each other. fox -- well, it's most interesting, i think, from what i've read at the deposition is that fox is most concerned not about the truth, not about doing something specifically responsible to stop whipping people up which ultimately led to january 6th among many other wad bad things in our country, fox was the opposite. fox was worried someone would get more extreme than they and take viewers away from them. that began to happen after they called the election correctly, called arizona correctly on election night and proclaimed biden the winner, which was true, and so they would have worried that they weren't extreme enough. and that remains, i think -- i see no evidence that fox is changing its ways. is there a single piece of evidence that anyone at fox is
4:56 pm
more responsible than they were a year or two ago, the insurrection of january 6th, everything else that's happened seems to have made no difference to them. >> they've given their most powerful important slots as they see them two people who put that forth, obviously there are some fantastic journalists there, that is not what we're talalkin about right now. thank you very much, bill. and next, some news today about a lesion removed from president biden's chest, it was cancerous. is there reason to worry? that's next. they're just gonna live in there? ♪ yes. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®.
