and he thinks that john hendrick left for us in washington, d. c. louis navarro as a fellow at the foreign policy research institute. he previously served as the last u. s. senate chief of staff to joe biden. he says the kremlin, under estimates at washington's response to its tactics in ukraine and ga this is a crisis of the kremlin making. and is it what is unclear in all of this is what constitutes in vladimir putin's mind. the security of russia and normalization that does not require a treating its neighbors such as ukraine in georgia as satellites. implicit in all of this and in explicit in one of the demands of the kremlin, is that the ukraine and by extension, many other countries such as georgia, that might be interested in joining nato to be denied that. and the administration is made clear that that is not acceptable. sovereign nations are precisely that. i think that the right of the russians, by placing these troops on the border, sought to precipitate crisis, sought to force a back down by the administration and its liter our lives. an

d. c. john, what do we know about the that caught in the conversation so far? well beyond that, not a lot. it's not clear whether vladimir putin wants to escalate the situation or de escalate it. but he's the one who initiated this call. the kremlin confirms of that call took place but has not said more about it. the white house is expected to give us a read out within the next hour or so. but we know what the main issues were. yes, they talked about upcoming security conference talks in geneva in january. they also talked about probably talked about around nuclear program and in effort to rekindle multilateral effort to try to deal with them on that. but really the main topic was certainly ukraine. that is apparently why put in, initiated this call there a 100000 russian troops on the border of ukraine. right now. that's got the u. s. a and nato allies. very concerned. and i imagine what happened is probably not too dissimilar from what happened in the december 7th call over. there's been a lot of diplomacy behind the scenes. some of it just today, between the

now this has been anti attributed to the direct start of the africa, c, d c, a john ken cousin, who says that this could be because south africa has suffered greatly. it has been devastated by the last 2 variance. so this could have increased their immunity. that's why i, this saw infection rate has gone down quite dramatically in the last few days. but like i said, in other countries, seeing or the positivity rate going up in kenya, particularly there is a huge concern about vaccinations. people are not getting vaccinated as much as they could. only 14 percent of the population is vaccinated by the government now has put in some rules, including telling our business owners not to allow people who are not vaccinated into their premises. and has also said that people have been vaccinated now for 6 months to need to go for booster shots across lou in the neighboring country. uganda, we're also seeing an increase in our positivity rates to 18 percent. so the government there has started again, mandatory testing of people who are getting into the country. guessing a lot of people who are get

let's get more less and john henderson in washington, d. c. quite depressing figures. really, john, i mean, his virus is setting new records across the u. s. and it doesn't really seem to be any end in sight. that's right, but researchers at columbia university say they think they know when it's going to peak and according to their model, it would happen within weeks, not months. that would be good news. they say that they think that the virus, according to their model, will peak the week of january 7th. here's the bad news. they say that during that 7 day period, they predict 2.5 to 5000000 new cases. so an intense surge that would then go down according to their model. meanwhile, we've got 100 thousands of flights being canceled across the us. some of that is due to regular winter weather, but some of it is also due to flight cruise getting covered themselves. and also those refusing to work over time over the holidays, because they don't want to take increased incentives because they're too worried about getting the virus. as all of this is happening, 23 states in pu

john hansen has more from washington d. c. in a 50 minute conversation between us president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin, the 2 sides laid out their diplomatic positions over growing tensions in ukraine. that is where a 100000 russian troops are amassed on the russian side of that border. after that, talk us press secretary for the president. jim saki issued a statement saying, quote, president biden urged russia to de escalate tensions with ukraine. he made clear that the united states and its allies and partners will respond decisively if russia further invades ukraine. president biden also expressed support for diplomacy. she went on to say that the president reiterated that substantive progress in these dialogues can occur only in an environment of de escalation rather than escalation. then we have the response from the russian side assistant to president vladimir putin. uri you shock, i've said one conclusion was underscored if the security negotiations are successful, it should naturally lead to certain

john henderson's got the latest from washington, d. c. jen, saki, a press secretary for president. joseph biden has put out a statement in that. she says, president biden urged russia to deescalate tensions with ukraine. he made clear that the united states and its allies and partners will respond decisively if russia further invades ukraine. president biden also expressed support for diplomacy and it goes on to say, the president reiterated that substantial progress in these dialogues can occur only in an environment of de escalation rather than escalation in the usa to colorado. hundreds of homes have been destroyed after wildfires driven by high winds in gulf to cities. new denver has been described as a life threatening situation. tens of thousands of people have been told to evacuate immediately. the u. s. has condemned the killing of at least 4 protesters by security forces in sudan that was shot and undermined with thousands of people, rallied against the military involvement in politics. demonstrators in the capital cartoon been approaching the presidential palace. they wan

john 100 joins us live from washington, d. c. so i guess ukraine is also on the agenda what, what else that you need is discussing? well, the 2 meters started that call just a little over a half an hour ago. we expected is still ongoing. this was a call that was initiated by russia extensively. it's about a number of different things. they're going to talk about. re launching the iran nuclear agreement, which president donald trump pulled out of, and biden would like to get started. again. there's also some upcoming security talks. next month. there is a u. s. russia meeting on january 10th than on the 12th. there is one between russia and nato. and then after that, on the 13th there's one with european countries, washington and moscow. but really what his prompted, this is, the russian president, requesting this call largely over ukraine. there is speculation that he's trying to de escalate a situation that he escalated. and that is the 100000 russian troops that are on the border of ukraine. russia, of course, has already taken

as gotta john henry, who's lying for us in washington, d. c, the details of this phone conversation starting to filter out what will, can you tell us about what was talked about? that call wrapped up a little more than an hour ago. and last time this happened on december 7th. it was russia that was 1st to come out with a read out owning the narrative. well, this time it's the white house, gen saki, a press secretary for president. joseph biden, has put out a statement in that. she says, president biden urged russia to de escalate tensions with ukraine. he made clear that the united states and its allies and partners will respond decisively if russia further invades ukraine. president biden also expressed support for diplomacy, and it goes on to say, the president reiterated that substantial progress in these dialogues can occur only in an environment of de escalation, rather than escalation and ethically, or reference to the fact that there are a 100000 russian troops. arrayed on the border of ukraine, the u. s. is concerned that those troops

d. c was about 20 now here, 5 degrees on tuesday, but still that threat of stormy weather through the avalon. so st. john's looking to see wind gusts of about 90 kilometers per hour here off toward the deep south. still some lingering showers, coastal sections of texas, louisiana, stretching into the florida panhandle. though i think tallahassee will escape this with just a cloudy day on tuesday, got some shower siding down the pacific coast here san francisco, los angeles, look to stay dry. think the best bet of seen some showers will be in san diego. central america right now. we got some rain coming out. shit, nicaragua, costa rica, panama. same goes through belize and guatemala waldo. nothing major. top end of south america. we do have some downpours to be expected here, especially along that east coast of brazil, rio de janeiro, hiv $25.00. next south. take you toward patagonia painted on the colors here. the dark of the red, the higher the temperature because watch what happens, commodore aretha davy at 31 degrees on tuesday. but by wednesday, you're getting up to just a high of 15 degrees. that's it

but basil john takes a closer look from d c. >> democrats in the house and the senate say it's time to have been allowed to blindside travelers with lebanon charges. an ancillary fees. massachusetts senator ed markey's legislation would prohibit airlines from charging disproportionate fees on things like cancellations. see changes are extra backs. does it really cost an airline $100 add one additional sue bag. of course not. the legislation also directs the department of transportation to review additional fees from airlines and ensure children can sit with their families at no additional cost. no economic justification for it. and frankly there's no moral justification. connecticut senator richard blumenthal says the unexpected fees blindside americans, especially during busy holiday travel. we are in the season of. giving and the airlines again are taking. however, some republicans are wary of the legislation's potential impacts on the airline industry and trust customers to make the right choices as consumers that make a determination of what succeeds and what fails pennsylvania con

d. c. i. now jo nichols, national affairs correspondent for the nation in madison. wisconsin. good to see you, john. what did you make of president biden's push? as i said, he pulls at the patriotic strings. maybe that will work, but there's always gonna be this portion of society who's just saying not, not going to get it. i think that's exactly right. you could hear that in the president's message. he will certainly as you suggest, pulled at the patriotic strings. he also gave a very, very long address. he spoke for a good deal of time to the american people in a live setting, which i think certainly will get a lot of attention. but with the in it, you heard the evidence of the challenge that he faces. at one point he called out those who had been critical of are skeptical of getting vaccinations. he basically pleaded with them to start distributing misinformation. he also made the point that donald trump has gotten a booster shot. and so he was clearly trying to address this division and i, you know, i mean, i'd give him credit for doing that. but i think if we're honest with ourselves, it's unl

lot of things, but i have to go with mark leo who is d t s m c chairman the day, the guy who runs the day to day operations because now a marsh john the founder, although and very jury alert and hale and hearty, 89 year old has withdrawn. and he said something interesting. and he said that it was only partially due to the pandemic and a, but it was also due to manufacturers stockpiling ships. and that you have to distinguish between real demand and stock piling for inventory. and he thinks a lot of this is because of stock piling for inventory. jim, let me ask you from your point of view, how long is it going to take for production to catch up with demand? there are some who suggest that this could take at the very least 2 years. does that timeline sound about right to you, or do you think it could be even longer? yeah, i think 18 to 24 months is a good estimate. but as june said, june 24 dryer, you know, there could very well be some stockpiling here. supply chains are increasingly interconnected around the world. you know, who knows what individual companies are stock piling, what i suspect supply and demand as prices rise. you

promising, upcoming officer and so he sends an invitation to john pope to be one of four officers selected to escort the president-elect to washington, d. c.. the train will leave from illinois on february 11th of 1861 and pope would later recall that he became a member, though a very insignificant, one of the party which surrounded mr. lincoln and that wonderful journey the like of which has never been made before since. at some point following his escort service, to washington d.c. of president lincoln, pope would offer link in his services as an aide to the president. instead, he would be appointed brigadier general of volunteers with a date of rank to be effective to may 17th of that year and he would be immediately ordered to the state of illinois, to recruit volunteers for the burgeoning war effort. now, upon making his way out to illinois, he wouldn't linger along in that duty of recruiting. in the department of the west under the command of major general john fremont. pope assumed control of north and central missouri of july with a portion of control along the mississippi river. it's during this time that we begin to see popes de
