a kremlin spokesman, dmitry peskov, said that as far as he knows, vladimir putin has no plans to congratulate donald trump. he said america is an unfriendly country which is involved directly and indirectly in a war with russia. i think this pouring cold water onto the trump victory is partly the result of what happened in the first trump term, when the kremlin had very high hopes that donald trump would improve us—russian relations. it didn't work out. having said that, there is no doubt that what donald trump said on the campaign trail will have been much appreciated by the kremlin. he didn't criticise vladimir putin, unlike kamala harris, who called vladimir putin a murderous dictator. and he seemed to question the scale of us military assistance to kyiv. so that will have gone down well with the kremlin. certainly here, in the mountains above sochi, at the political discussion club i'm at right now, political pundits, political scientists seem to be very happy that donald trump has won the election and looking forward to him coming back to the white house. one quite prominent political sc

. >> the kremlin spokesman, dmitry peskov, today has responded, saying that, yes, there is no officialonfirmation and if there were it would mean that there was direct involvement of the united states in the war. >> if the u.s. were to authorize the use of any weapon system, including this weapon system, it wouldn't mean direct u.s. participation in the war. it would mean a continuation of the policy we've had since the war began, which is that we supply the means to ukraine to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and they fight the war. >> in and around kursk, there are tens of thousands of troops being massed to try and retake this territory that ukraine seized earlier this year inside russia. there are russian command and control sites. there are air defense, rocket launchers. are those good atacms targets? collects -- >> look, i will obviously defer to the ukrainians about how they choose to prosecute the war. from our perspective right now, the major escalation that we've seen is not about a particular geography or about a particular part of the front. it's about the

but, kremlin spokesman dmitry peskov told journalists today that the report is "completely untrue" andpure fiction." a spokesperson for trump said, "we do not comment on private calls between president trump and other world leaders." haiti's international airport shut down termporarily today after gangs opened fire at a spirit airlines flight trying to land in port-au-prince. a flight attendant was wounded and the plane was diverted to the dominican republic. meantime on the streets of the capital, firefights broke out today between police and gangs, as civilians fled in terror. some homes were set on fire in upper-class neighborhoods. this all comes as the country's new prime minister was sworn in, following weeks of political chaos and uncertainty. on wall street today, stocks closed at new milestones to start the week. the dow jones industrial average added more than 300 points to end above 44,000 for the first time ever. the nasdaq inched nearly 12 points higher, so just a small gain there. the s&p 500 managed a small gain for its first-ever close above 6000. still to come on the "

but also, as far as the rhetoric is concerned, the spokesman for the kremlin, dmitri peskov, at severalhe weekend, said that the russians actually believe that they are reacting to escalation coming from the west, obviously, meaning the use of atacms missiles by the ukrainians of course, other western supplied missiles as well. and this was quite interesting because this morning the deputy foreign minister came out and seemed to indirectly threaten that there could be a military response against western countries as well, saying that russia has, as he put it legitimate security interests that it is willing to ensure, as he also put it by any means. now, all this comes as we've seen over the weekend, really the front lines heating up all across the ukraine, where the russians apparently now also on the southern front on the offensive as well. here's what we're learning the three year mark, more and more russians are signing up to fight vladimir putin, saying more than in and around ukraine in moscow honoring the mothers of russian soldiers battling in what the kremlin still calls its spe

one of the other things that the spokesman for the kremlin, dmitry peskov, also said is he believes thatate and deepen the west's involvement in the conflict in ukraine. in the war in ukraine. and, you know, one of the things that the russians keep talking about, the spokesman for the kremlin, but also the spokesman for the foreign ministry, is that vladimir putin has already said what russia's reaction will be, and that goes back to about three weeks ago, because one of the things we have to keep in mind, casey, is that vladimir putin has been trying to dissuade publicly, the biden administration from making exactly the decision that it has now made, and essentially what vladimir putin said is that he believes that these type of weapons, of course, specifically speaking about the atacms surface to surface missiles, cannot be used. the targeting cannot happen unless with the help of specialists from the country where these weapons come from obviously, in this case, meaning the united states and i want to read from you to you one quick quote of what vladimir putin said back then, because

defenses and, of course, air defenses here in ukraine as well hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitry peskov today, he has called this a response to western escalation that he called reckless escalation escalation, both sides accusing the other of recklessness here and now, the use of an extraordinary new weapon, it seems, by the kremlin trying to send a signal whether that's heard, whether that dampens tensions. highly unlikely. casey. >> all right. nick paton walsh for us live in kyiv. nick always grateful to have you. thanks very much for being there all right. time now for weather. parts of california, the pacific northwest, facing potentially record breaking rainfall and flooding whiteout conditions with nearly two feet of mountain snow also there. let's get to our meteorologist. our weatherman derek van dam. derek! it's back. the polar bear. this is the best friday video we have all day. what are you seeing yeah. >> who doesn't want to start their weekend off on this note? right? a polar bear playing around in the first snow of the season chicago heights. they got to enjoy it today. ye

dmitry peskov made the remarks after being asked at his daily news briefing if putin's readiness to talk-elect reflected a willingness to change his demands. quote, the president has never said that the goals of the special military operation are changing. on the contrary. he's repeatedly said that they remain the same, peskov said. emboldened russian president with an admirer returning to the white house is where we begin the hour with former cia director john brennan is here, also joining us former ambassador to russia, michael mcfall, and former deputy national security adviser ben rhodes is here. director brennan, first, your thoughts on how the cia and how the american government is preparing for an american president so at ease and so comfortable with someone who green lit and celebrated the war crimes carried out in bucha, the attacks against civilians, schools, hospitals, i mean, the things that have been happening in ukraine at the direction of vladimir putin have garnered the west's disdain and donald trump sounds to have had a lovely chat with him today. >> well, i think there

presidential spokesman dmitry peskov said he had noted the reports coming out of america aboutjoe bidento strike russia with us supplied long—range missiles. he said that if such a decision has been taken, that would mean a whole new spiral of tension. he said it would be a reckless decision, a dangerous decision. then he came out with that phrase, the criticism accusing the biden administration of adding fuel to the fire. western leaders would say that if anyone now was adding fuel to the fire, that would be russia, after nearly 1000 days of russia's war against ukraine and with russia now deploying reportedly thousands of north korean soldiers in russia's kursk region to fight ukrainian soldiers. but things are presented very differently here. in russia, russia is presented as the victim, not the aggressor. the kremlin controls the media landscape and the narrative here.— and the narrative here. steve, thank ou ve and the narrative here. steve, thank you very much _ and the narrative here. steve, thank you very much indeed. _ and the narrative here. steve, thank you very much indeed.
