coverage of the crisis in eastern europe. it's 7:00 in the morning here in lviv. smoke billowing into the sky after russian missiles hit a key fuel depot there. this as ukrainians continue that counteroffensive in various suburbs around the capital . that offensive appears to be working with a top russian general now saying russia is shifting focus to eastern ukraine. and president biden meeting with us troops in poland, telling them that the stakes of ukraine's war go well beyond its borders to stake not just what we're doing here ukraine to try to help the ukrainian people and keep the massacre from continuing. but beyond that , what's at stake is what's what's what are your kids and grandkids look like in terms of their their freedom? and the big announcement is president biden meets with european union leaders, the two parties unveiling a joint task force to reduce

europe's dependance on russian gas. first, let's go to chief correspondent and co-host jonathan hunt live in the city of lviv. jonathan, good morning to you, rich. and we have what may be a sea change in this war developing now with those comments from a russian general that they may be shifting focus to just the east of the country. that would be hugely significant given that russia came in here saying quite plainly that they wanted to take all of ukraine and own all of ukraine. but look at this map. luhansk and donetsk, the two main places you may have heard of that together. that whole area forms what is called the donbas that has long been a russian separatist movement there and the generals implied yesterday that they now are going to focus on that and the first phase as they put all of this war is over .

so they're going to look to the east. that would be a big resetting of russia's strategic goals. it may well come because russian forces have been struggling on several fronts in the areas around key, for instance, they have been pushed back quite significantly in some places by ukrainian forces. and president zelenskyy says that the pressure by ukrainian forces will be kept up. listen here. we cannot stop even for a minute because each minute is about our fate, our future, about the fact whether we'll live 30 day a month has passed. if russia had known what expected them here, they would definitely be afraid of coming here now in the meantime, we're getting more evidence of potential war crimes. this is footage from inside that theater in the southern city of mariupol that was clearly marked as a shelter clearly marked as containing children and yet the russians

bombed it anyway. this we believe was shot in the minutes after those bombs fell and people were simply trying to get out that we hear that as many as 300 people may have died from that russian attack as they simply tried to find shelter and stay alive. in the meantime, we're also seeing another attack on what was apparently a humanitarian aid convoy. this one that one you're looking at there is in mariupol. but we have footage of a strike in the eastern city of kharkiv. it's in a parking lot. you'll see it right here. some sort of projectile comes in , explodes there and people literally once again running for their lives. but the big news here today, rich, is this apparent change in strategy to focus on the east. that would be hugely significant if it happens. but we should caution vladimir

putin himself is the only person truly calling the shots. and while there may be a desire to focus on the east, one chemical weapons attack, one tactical nuclear weapons strike could yet change everything rich. jonathan, thank you . think about where we are just a month ago. incredible developments there, jonathan. and just across the border in poland, president biden is set to meet with ukrainian refugees and deliver an address just hours from now. fox news correspondent alexis macadams reports from brussels . president biden on the ground in poland assessing the growing refugee crisis. the number of refugees who have entered poland from ukraine surpassing to million this week. president biden now vowing to provide assistance. we do not call them refugees. they're our guests, our brothers. our neighbors from ukraine heard today are in a very difficult situation where 12 million people have fled their houses. on friday, president biden

visited with service members from the u.s. army's 82nd airborne division stationed in poland. the troops are there to bolster security along nato's eastern flank. thousands of additional troops have been deployed the region in response to continued russian aggression in ukraine. one hundred thousand american forces are in europe. we haven't had that a long, long time. and the white house announcing a task force aimed at reducing europe's dependance on russian energy in brussels. several eu members met with biden to discuss the heightened energy crunch fueled by this war . so we want as europeans to diversify away from russia towards suppliers that we trust that our friends and that are reliable today. we've agreed on a joint game plan toward that goal while accelerating our progress toward a secure, clean energy future. >> president biden will meet with ukrainian refugees on the ground before delivering

a major address in warsaw on saturday in brussels, alexis mcadams, fox news. after failing to achieve an early victory in ukraine, russia may be shifting to plan b. a top russian general says the first stage of its military plan is complete. they will now focus on eastern ukraine and the liberation of donbass. it comes as russia's advance into cities like kyiv and kharkiv appeared to have stalled. joining us now, james carafano, vice president of foreign policy for the heritage foundation and an army veteran . james, thanks for joining us this evening. good to be with you. so what we're looking at here is now a stated plan b with jonathan hunt laid out more fighting in the east or more of of a push towards the east. but i think anybody whether you listen to us intelligence or analysts looking at a map saw an attempt by the russian military to surround kiv that abandoned for now or what happens next .

so we've been getting these signals to the russians for kind of like the last 48 hours about focusing on on the southeastern part of the country from which from a strategic standpoint makes sense. that is the most strategically relevant to russia that's on the sea of ausra. that's that's the part that really gives russia control and access to to the to the black sea. so that's not surprising and it's also not surprising to be backing off from other areas. if you look at the numbers and look, we all know we don't really know if these numbers are solid or not, but when you add the number killed, the number of wounded and what's not included there is the number of missing in action. the number of prisoners of war and also the numbers deserters and ineffective for things like frostbite. that's an enormous lack of manpower and that you would

need that manpower to get even if you could get to kyiv to fight and take the cities. that just a lot of manpower. and then remember every inch of ground that the russians take they have to occupy. and this is an unfriendly and that's more soldiers. so it's very clear they don't have the manpower to do this and they talk about bringing in , you know, russians and troops, these other places, the best trained russian troops have already fought and been exhausted. so the people that you're bringing in , they're not going to be quality troops. they're not going to fight better. so it's not surprising that the russians are consolidating this . this often happens when you attack people as you attack and take that cost resources and fuel and ammunition and people and if you exceed your grasp, you then become vulnerable to counterattack. so one way will you protect from that is you consolidate your gains and that seems to be what's happening here when you look at russia potentially

changing strategies here, how difficult is it for them to actually do that given the massive breakdowns in communication we've seen and russians using open air radios with openly being taunted by ukrainians on those radios? how difficult is it for a size of this force of this size to to change what it's doing? well well, it's a lot easier to defend than attack when you defend you're consolidating your logistics lines are shorter. it's easier to communicate. you get things like for example, you run wire on the ground and hook up old fashioned phones that you can intercept. you can you can have rutter's carry messages. so defending is certainly a lot easier now withdrawing is is not as simple as it sounds, particularly if your enemy has the capability of counterattack. so for the troops around kyiv, pulling back is an easy first of all, you've got all that stuff lined up. you can't just go back it up

and you can't turn around. and what you don't see on these maps is you don't see the road networks and you don't see the places where you can drive and you can't drive . you see these big blobs of like red and yellow but on the ground you've got to have a road to drive an armored vehicle on and so so withdrawing is actually when you're withdrawing, you're actually turning your back on the enemy, which actually makes it easier for them to shoot. so consolidating and defending is easier. but withdrawing is is is is difficult and complicated. and look, the russians don't give up ground. the last time the russians voluntarily walked away from a free piece of ground that they conquered was in austria in nineteen fifty five , the only other ground they've ever given up, they were pushed out of. james carafano from the heritage foundation, thanks for joining us tonight. thank you . my friend and do another big

story we're following, judge ketanji brown jackson is one step closer to her supreme court confirmation with a key democrat announcing his intention to support her . fox news correspondent madeline rivera reports from washington in an evenly divided senate, there is no room for defections for democrats if they want to. judge ketanji brown jackson supreme court confirmation through on friday, though their hopes for boogied when senator joe manchin announced he'd vote to approve her saying in a statement i am confident judge jackson is supremely qualified and has the disposition necessary to serve as our nation's next supreme court justice. right now it's unclear if any republicans will support her after studying the nominee's record and watching her performance this week. i cannot and will not support

judge jackson despite initial pledges from the senate judiciary committee that the hearing would be held with decorum and respect, it devolved into a partisan affair with republicans accusing jackson of being soft on sentencing child offenders. parent want to know they're going to have a justice who will be there to help protect children, help protect parental rights and help protect our freedoms and our liberties. all eyes are now on senator kirsten sinema who has not yet announced how she'll vote. the arizona democrat has been a swing vote on president biden's legislation but has supported his lower court picks. >> we do not believe politics should belong when it comes to confirming judges or justices to our nation's court. unfortunately, that is the political climate of the time. >> in other news from the supreme court, justice clarence thomas was released from the hospital on friday after a nearly week long day

largest city, kharkiv has been hit hard russian attacks have left people homeless and hundreds have been killed or injured. russian airstrikes damaging civilian buildings including schools, places of worship and shops impeding access to food and medicines. joining us now is maria devah,

a woman who's been reporting from that city. maria, great to have you here. tell me very simply what is the situation there now? is the fighting as intense as it has been or the russians backing off? hello. thank you for having me. so the russians stalled on their positions. they're not moving and the ukrainian military even does counter offensive operations yesterday they've got this report that they actually managed to move russian troops back further to the russian border. but that means that on the ground russia continues to rise in to violence in the cpac and the shelling intensified it is on the right now night and day and russia is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and people in the cities threaten them. we've had this the reports about the people that were queuing in front of the centers that we are distributing humanitarian aid targeted by russian missile systems.

and i was on that place once also what is the what is the feeling among civilians there, maria? is it pure terror? people are resistant. they are fighting fires. i have been to the underground metro stations where pple are living now for more than a month. and what i hear from them as we are going to fight and we will win this war and so the morale is very high because we see that our military is fighting fires way the russians have no chance. this is all we are looking forward to the moment when the victory will come. but still it's difficult for people here because what we see now is that russia has this tactic of threatening the civilians and the people are really have very difficult times to survive. more than a thousand buildings have been destroyed in kharkiv. this is the, the most

the biggest number two from all the ukrainian cities. and they they now deliberately target where people leave so that people will know crtv no possibility to go out to get some food because at that moment they will because they might become a target for the attack. and also there are children in the streets as well hiding in the metro and the shelters and they are traumatized because of the ongoing war and also in the very city in the situation where any more attack again from the sky. what's happened to maria? i only have about 30 seconds left, but are you more optimistic today though with the troops being pushed back a little than you were, say, 24 , 48 hours ago? i'm optimistic. but then we need more how to stop russian war and russian aggression in the skies because that's just what used by russia, ukraine and sky to bombard the cities

and terrorize and so and that's why we need more defensive weapons because this will allow us to act more and to russian troops for that and civilians will be here supporting the defenders. maria, devah, we thank you very much for witness to what is happening in the second city of ukraine. thank you so much for being with us tonight . rich, president biden striking a deal with the european union in an effort to make them less dependent on russian gas details on that story coming up. hunter biden is the most protected person in the country . he was given rights and favor jobs well beyond his credentials. but just as founding, you really can't find any business venture that does not revolve

watching very closely over the next 24 to 48 hours. russian generals saying yesterday in moscow that they are looking to focus on the east of this country saying phase one of that military operation, as they put it, is complete. so that they're going to look over towards donetsk and luhansk. you see the marked on the map there. that area around them is generally known as the dombi. it has long been the scene of fighting with involving a russian separatist movement. so what they are implying here is that this was their aim all along. they didn't really want to own ukraine. they just want to take that eastern area where russian separatists are operating. now that may be a signal that they clearly have realized that they are not getting to where they wanted in terms of moving in to keep they've been pushed back there. they're being pushed back as we just heard from maria devah in kharkiv around that is ukraine's second city.

so they may now just focus on the east. that would be a sea change in this war . if it happens, it might be the basis for russia then seeking peace talks and saying we just want this eastern area. ukrainians, you imagine would be reluctant to give them that because it would if they give them any territory at all, it would effectively be reward russian aggression. but that is absolutely what we are going to be watching really closely over the next 24 to 48 hours, which jonathan, thanks very much. the u.s. commits itself to helping the european union wean itself off russian gas. russian supplies europe with forty percent of its natural gas going through the nearly seven hundred and sixty mile nord stream one pipeline, the income going to its war machine nord stream two was never put to use. germany suspended its certification shortly before russia invaded ukraine. president biden hailing this agreement as a strategic

move. i know i know that russian gas will have crossed for europe, but it's not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint, it's going to put us on a much stronger strategic . joining us now, john jordan, a former naval intelligence officer and currently an overseer at the hoover institution at stanford university. john, thanks so much for joining us this evening. i want to get to that agreement and you've had a long, deep dependency from europe, germany just for example, shut off its nuclear plants within the last decade had become even more dependent, was looking to become even more dependent on russian gas. how easily or quickly is this road going to be to cut off this dependency? will central to russian strategy with regard to the europeans is always going to be energy and there's a lot we're learning in the last day or so about russian strategy going forward with regard to

europe's ability to process or substitute liquid natural gas with the four russian gas. it's kind of like that game mousetrap we all used to play in the 70s from matel. the u.s. has plenty of that liquid not liquefied natural gas to sell. but the problem is it's that the terminals you need in europe and then the pipeline infrastructure and there's almost no spare capacity for processing its port side in europe other than spain. spain has six ports doing that . germany has none. but the problem is there's almost only one pipeline that goes from spain into france and none that go into germany. so getting that oil, getting that liquefied natural gas from the u.s. to european markets is going to be hugely expensive, especially after the europeans have invested so heavily in drawing on russian natural gas sources. so this isn't going to be for tomorrow morning. it's going to be hugely expensive. and this is, by the way, infrastructure. that's what decade in the making.

charnier got its first a permit to export american natural gas. i mean maybe this inspires some more movement, but it takes time to build this infrastructure time and political patience and the europeans have neither it's going to take decades to build this . this is this is a lot more complicated. this is across national borders . there's environmental considerations, especially in europe and the european. we really have only about seven or eight months until the weather gets gets really cold in europe. again, the russians are hoping that the ukraine will fade from the headlines. and the next great thing will come along to dominate media attention and the rest of the european voters and european consumers will get will be fauci when they get natural gas prices go up in october, november and december. and the russians again will have the leverage and europeans will be a decade or more from an effective substitute. so this meeting today was was was was for appearance's

and it's just hard to see how that can be substantive. john joe biden, real quick, i have about thirty seconds here, but looking at this cohesion from the european union in the west, how long do you think it can last? it'll last until european public starts to feel pain. the russians now are pivoting towards the donbas region and our downsizer the war. i'm hoping for limited aims and they're hoping that a withdraw prepare they're preparing their population so they can declare victory and getting this off the headlines so they can regain their leverage as it always has been with energy. john jordan, thanks so much for joining tonight . jonathan, over to you. thanks much. the white house is walking back an apparent verbal gaffe. vice president biden insisting that u.s. troops will not be going to ukraine despite what the president seemed to suggest to soldiers in poland friday. >> fox news correspondent ashley stroma brings us the latest.

yeah, the white house ran interference with comments were made by the president and us troops in poland in an address about our military seeing how ukrainian civilians are stepping up in the fight. take a listen. the average citizen looking on this trip, grandmother stepping up and you're going to see when you're there, you've been there. they're going to see you're going to see women, young people stand on stem from tank. say i'm not leaving. i'm holding my ground are incredible quickly after a white house official clarified to fox, quote, president biden has been clear we are not sending u.s. troops to ukraine and there is no change in that position. biden has repeatedly ruled out this possibility. meantime, national security adviser jake sullivan says the president will give a major address saturday regarding the war in ukraine and he will give a major address tomorrow that will speak to the stakes

of this moment, the urgency of the challenge that lies ahead once the conflict in ukraine means for the world and why it is so important that the free world sustain unity and resolve in the face of russian aggression. he'll also talk about the context and history of this conflict and where he sees it going from here. >> also on tap for biden, he's expected to meet with the president of poland along with ukrainian refugees and american communitarians who are helping out. >> back to you. ashley strohmeyer, thank you , rich. back to you. jonathan, thanks. vladimir putin is lashing out dissenting voices within russia. those who are in the media are especially vulnerable. those journalists could face massive repercussions. fox news season foreign affairs correspondent amy kellogg reports. >> president vladimir putin held a video conference with russians involved in the

arts to celebrate russia's annual day of culture. he lashed out at the west for its so-called cancel culture, claiming russia is its latest victim. shostakovich rachmaninoff are excluded from concert posters and russian writers and their books are also banned. the last time a mass campaign to destroy unwelcome literature was carried out by the in germany almost 90 years ago. putin said to cancel kabal even went after j.k. rowling for falling out with , quote, fans of gender choice. the author was quick to respond ,tweeting, quote, critiques of western council culture are possibly not best made by those currently slaughtering civilians for the crime of resistance. the latest in the kremlin's crosshairs a russian journalist accused of spreading false information about russia's attack on a ukrainian maternity hospital. alexander neverov said he did a quote, heroic deed by reporting on what many have deemed a war crime. he's currently out of the country and thinks he'd

wind up in jail if he went back . when asked if anyone might be able to sway putin to end the war and have said no but that he wishes the russian leader would hole up in his supposed palace for good to take his mind off quote murder in which there is no explanation for putin's actions other than delusion and grandeur. how do you know the people of this time are not affected by logic or arguments? they don't care about other people's blood and tears. >> thank you , amy. that was our amy kellogg reporting. jonathan right up next , a daring rescue to get a u.s. army veteran and his wife out of ukraine's capital afraid because we live in a post world fake news everywhere. even ghosts seeking asylum cannot be trusted. but , there can be no truth

experts. find out how much your home is worth for free at home like economic sanctions are hurting russia. but is that enough to deter putin from using chemical weapons against ukraine? frustrated with the efforts against ukraine, putin has increasingly signaled the possible use of chemical or biological weapons. i think the economic sanctions are beginning to be

more difficult each day for the russians from a military standpoint, he's not doing well from a diplomatic standpoint. he has the world against him and from an economic standpoint ,russia is basically being squeezed out of the world market. know matt shoemaker, former cia intel officer. matt , i want to get to these threats from russian president vladimir putin. do you really think that he would use chemical weapons? thanks for having me on when it comes to whether or not the actions that we've taken are enough to dissuade putin from from using them, it really is about removing russia's ability to wage war . that's what it really comes down to. and so far the sanctions have not been able to achieve that . russia right now earns a billion every day from its oil markets and unfortunately to disagree with the senator outside the united states and europe, the rest of

the world actually is not as hostile to russia as we might hope that they would be. so with all of that in mind, i don't think that mr. putin really feels all that dissuaded at the moment from using chemical weapons if he really feels that he will be able to achieve battlefield victory from using them on that point and on the point of the pressure that he's feeling from from internal sources that being the people in his country, other people who run the country or who are within the government, the power structure there is getting much pressure from the economic conditions right now or are the russian successfully in survival mode here? yeah, that certainly is the question of the day from the way that it seems. i mean, i know we just saw today that the minister of defense sergei shot you allegedly had a heart attack recently, which is why we haven't seen him in the news despite his propensity for being a pr type individual.

i don't think it's a coincidence that he would have had a heart attack right now if he indeed had one . he's under a great deal of amount of stress both with regards to the situation on the ground but also the way that the kremlin operates. it is not a transparent, organized and there certainly seems to be a lot of individuals positioning themselves, if you will, over the past two to three weeks in particular, there have been a number of people at the at the fsb, which is the russian version of the fbi who've been arrested because of the way that things are going in ukraine. so there are certainly things that are going on behind the scenes that are not public and certainly put a great deal of pressure on mr. putin and his role so that we're a month into this invasion right now. and when you look at where things have gone wrong, what i mean, we could be here a long time talking about this , but but for our purposes, just the top things that have gone wrong and does russia have

the capacity to fix them or are we really seeing a move towards limited goals here and a move away from the government decapitation and surrounding keeva? sure. i think the two things that i would highlight in particular that went severely wrong is one is just basic structural issues went wrong with regards to the planning and the execution. obviously plan a was to go in as quickly as possible, take kyiv and other major cities and to decapitate the government and replace it with a friendly one that failed in the first two days to to the first week. then they switched to a plan b ,which was send as much forces as they had available to gain as much territory as possible and they did not gain very much territory for for the amount of blood that they shed for it. and so they've gone to plan c now, which seems to be switching to focusing on one area of battle, the eastern front, if you will. that's what they've claimed at least today. we'll see if they actually do

that . but the second thing that i wanted to highlight is just basic morale. the quickest way to lose morale for your troops is to lie to them. and that's what we saw today when they said that it was never part of their plan to take kyiv. i'm sure a lot of the soldiers ,the russian soldiers who are around kyiv who saw their friends die trying to take care would be very surprised to hear that taking key was never part the plan. so to those two things of the structural issues and morale issues where the things that have really gone wrong for russia not shoemaker former dia intelligence officer matt , thanks very much for joining us . jonathan, thank you . always great to hear from matt shoemaker. meantime, a u.s. army veteran and his wife have been saved from the city of tev after a daring week long rescue mission. the nonprofit project dinamo has been helping hundreds of people all around ukraine since the start of russia's invasion . and we're delighted to be

joined now by project dinamo co-founder brian stern and brian, thank you for all the work you do. i gather this story involved sergeant first class robert platt, an army vet and his wife . they were, as i understand it, in a small outside key where russian troops actually were. explain to us the situation they were in and how dangerous it was. we have video we have handheld video of russian troops in his backyard to give you an idea. so he was literally right on the front line with russian troops and at some point ukrainian troops patrolling through his backyard. that's the video there. that's from his window. so that's what sergeant platt was doing and his family were dealing with every single day prior to the rescue. so brian, how then do you get in? i mean, i know you can't tell us everything you do, obviously, but how on earth do

heroes like you get in there and rescue people like that ? >> it was very complicated. i get this question a lot. the best way to explain is everything has to work like like a symphony. everything has to work in harmony. so many, many, many pieces to this thing. and if one instrument is off key, that's the thing that everyone here is in the symphony fails. so doing these kinds of operations require a lot a lot a lot of coordination, a lot of phone calls and frankly talent. my team is phenomenal. i have the best team in the world. i've been doing this sort of thing for many years and i've never been proud to be part of this organization who is able to pull this off? >> you really are doing extraordinary work. brian, how many people do you have? do you have an idea of how many people you've actually rescued so far from this terrible war where we're driving towards 300, we're driving towards 300. we rescued an american

baby yesterday morning. so we're doing a lot of baby operations. we're doing a lot of heart operations and then we have and we have more to come. we're actually in planning right now for another pretty pretty sizable and dangerous operation as we speak. >> so brian, if i can and tell me what you can't tell me obviously, but do you guys go in heavily armed to these situations because you've you are facing extreme danger every time you go into something. but when you see those russian troops in in sergeant platt backyard, i mean, you're facing down those russian troops. so are you heavily armed with your group? we are completely unarmed. we're armed with cell phones and laptop and and you know, that's it. we do not carry guns whatsoever. we are unarmed completely. >> we're humanitarians. so so your entire operation, brian, everything you do, everything you do is about

stealth. therefore i'm just trying to get my head around how you guys pull this off because i think for our viewers it's completely extraordinary that you're able to yeah, it what we do is we play we play three dimensional chess and we make sure not to play checkers and we make sure to play that game real well. so it's real aptitude that it's it's brains, not brawn for sure. and sergeant platt and his wife, are they out of ukraine completely. now, brian? >> they are. i spoke to i spoke to sergeant platt yesterday. he's doing great. he's doing great. his wife is doing great and they're they're getting on with the next chapter of their life. they have every intention of coming back to ukraine. their house was was rocketed and attacked and destroyed. the day after the day after we got them out. so really can't be understated. you can't be overstate amazing

. how long will project dynamo stay in ukraine? >> as long as this war goes on . we have three three easy requirements to have us operate . no no. one , there has to be a need which clearly there is or where we're bursting at the seams with, with the requests the operational environment has to be such such that we can operate which sounds crazy that we can operate with russians in the backyard but we are able to clearly so we just need to understand the operational environment. and the third thing is, is funding. we're donor funded. so project gutenberg, please, please give a dollar please give ten dollars whatever you can do. everything goes to the operation so we funding these things are very expensive. it is incredibly difficult and hard and expensive to do these types of operations but it's worth every penny. sergeant platt is alive today because of donations in the generosity of americans who gave money. >> by the way, bryanston from

project dinho o'brien we've had your web address up there the entire time of this interview because it takes not just your extraordinary guts and the guts of the people with you, but it takes money too. we really appreciate and i know sergeant platt and his wife and everybody else he rescued really appreciate what you have done. brian, thank you for being with us tonight and godspeed in your continued work. rich jonathan, thanks. just getting this right now. yemen's iran backed houthi rebels have attacked an oil depot in the saudi city of jittered ahead of a formula one race in the kingdom. it's the rebels highest profile assault yet authorities pledge this weekend's race will go on . the attack targeted the same fuel depot that the houthis had attacked in recent days. no injuries reported in the attack. the plant sits just southeast, the city's international airport. and you know, jonathan, you look at this , the saudis are pressuring the biden administration to redesignate the houthi rebels as a

terrorist organization. they withdrew that earlier on and you know, conflict around the world here. what you're watching in ukraine . yeah, and it's just an example that we live in a very dangerous world. so we will keep bringing our viewers every movement in the war in ukraine and beyond rich jonathan, thanks very much. and that'll do it for us tonight. join you next time right. i'm mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas and 2016 presidential candidates like many of you, i've struggled to get a good night's sleep until about two years ago. that's when i saw an ad on tv for relaxium sleep and it was literally changed my life. developed by renowned neurologist dr. eric celebrity relaxium sleep is clinically proven to help you fall asleep.
