4,000 zumi missiles , these are surface-to-air missiles, which, as the pentagon representative laura cooper said, can be adapted directly to ukrainian aircraft, and rim-7 missiles, which are called sea sparrows, are usually launched for air defense from ships, however, as laura cooper said, in the case of the ukrainians, the ukrainian military, as she said, can adapt and launch them from soviet-style systems from ground systems ago a lot of different capacities are included in this package in fact, and if we talk about how big the aid of the united states is, then it has already reached more than uah 24 billion . the struggle with which they are expected to deal in the future , a few weeks ago we said that we do not expect an end to the fighting in the winter, in fact, since then they have become even tougher, in particular in the donbass so we want to make sure that the ukrainians are well equipped and prepared for the hostilities that they will face in the next couple of months, this was actually the answer to my question to john kirby today at the briefings at the white house. i asked hi

the deputy assistant defense secretary laura cooper said on friday they are positioning ukraine to berward and retake territory. is this meant to give them more of an offensive rather than defensive capability? >> what you're seeing is across the board support. they're sending patriot which is an air defense weapon and it will help protect ukrainian cities from russian missiles, you're also seeing these armored vehicles, not only from the united states but also nato allies, bradleys, wide variety of others, m 113s, mraps and also a lot of artillery support. additional artillery systems, the m-109, 105, more ammunition, more kinds of rounds. so a wide ma right of support that will not only enhance their offensive capabilities but also help their defense. >> tell us about the timing here in the war as we near the one-year anniversary of the invasion. i'm told that these weapons are in part designed to fit the battlefield in these more wide open territory, tank and artillery battles, but also there is some concern russia will at least attempt to regroup and ukraine needs these weapons no

. >> we vow to cooperate with them obviously. >> laura: we obviously have to cooperate with them. they completely ignore the fact that since china was admitted to the world trade organization they have become if anything more, not less oppressive. but of course, none of that matters to the elites. then there is america. now, we're by our nature rebels. we test theories. we challenge hypotheses. we question motives. our founders found that free inquiry was needed and we had to protect it in order for us to remain free and an independent nation. in a world of sheep, we've been shepherds. we go our own way to protect our flocks. and when push comes to shove, we won't hesitate generally to shove the elites against the wall if they start encroaching on our freedom. but with biden in the white house the davos crowd thinks they have an opening. he's their useful idiot. but they know they may have only a two-year window to co-opt america and advance their initiatives. >> we have to save this planet to save our freedom and the way we're living. and we're not good enough yet. we have to imp

this is an area where effective international cooperation is needed. >> laura: now, senator, they unleashed a virus on us, and they are citing the virus and the pandemic as a reason, i guess that we should all trust them more. the left loves this and democrats apparently have a lot of respect for this. >> well, look, the chinese communist just like the russian communist in the cold war know how to scratch the itches of the western left wing elite. apparently you can tie climate change to anything including the pandemic that china unleashed on the world and get them cooing toward you. but they do this time and again even though china is the worst polluter in the world and has no plan to bane don its fossil fuel energy sources. again, these people don't care fundamentally about democratic self-government and strong nation states. they care about achieving left wing ideological goals. most of these people read george orwell's 1984 and plato's republic and they didn't take it as cautionary tales about an overpowering state. they took it as a how-to manual and they see a lot of lessons they can

it was national archives that reported it to the doj, so they began cooperating when they got caught but to your larger point, laura, people need to understand this is a red herring. cooperation is not a defense in the law. cooperation goes to the issue of leniency and the sentence that a defendant may get. bank robbers who show up with the money back at the bank and cooperate still get charged. so cooperation has nothing to do with culpability or liability. it only has to do with a sentence that would be imposed. >> laura: all right. another defense that they are offering, this was following the latest drip-drip-drip. watch. >> president biden -- has said truthfully that there is no there-there, and in the end, we'll see this was just an inadvertent matter of filing. >> laura: john, could there be an innocent mistake here? >> no. and, you know, i think senator coons knows that. look, there is a there-there and there has to be. i know we're on document batch number five or six, in five or six different places and they can run together but the last time showed documents from biden's time in the senate and here's why

it violates coventry and circumvents standards, judiciale law enforcement cooperation process. >> lauraow we are learning for the first tim around the time chris wray made those comments, the fbi rate of that office seizing materials in the first known operation of its kind. joining me now former fbi assistant director chris swagger. chris, in your estimation, how widespread are these chinese outposts throughout the united states and what the heck is going on herenitestat?ec >> they are all over the place.o when you think of the chinese, you traditionally think how prolific they are instilling our technology and trade secrets and trade information et cetera. we overlook this other aspect of chinese ss and that is chinese dissidents. they are prolific at that.pr thates is why they set up the super police stations across the united states and other western countries around the globe here they are they are to monitor their citizens there to make. frsure they are stating in line and frankly many of them have worst and to be of them have intelligence operatives.tiveha if you have family on t

laura: if we take a step inside myanmar, there are a number of human rights lawyers cooperating with german authorities in this case, give us an idea of what sort of danger they face their. guest: i think it is very important the lawyer on human rights and any sensible lawyer understand they are talking about human beings. they are talking about persons, individuals. this bestia victims are mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers and they are human beings. these military generals in the and mar have been committing these crimes against humanity with complete impunity. they must be held accountable and i think it is very important we bring the maximum pressure to the military and sanction them with coordinated and targeted and this military, we have to know they don't understand words, they understand action. it's the time for the international community to take action and bring justice to these survivors. laura: what evidence is there the generals care about these cases being brought about? you said the cases are closing in on them but do you think they feel that? they are certainly s

i also said we are cooperating fully and completely with the justice department review. >> congress has to investigate this. laurathis comes two months after garland assigned a special counsel to investigate former president donald trump's handling of classified documents seized from s mar-a-lago home. joining me to discuss this and more, nick confessore from e new york times, and in the studio, nancy cordes from cbs news, eugene daniels from politico, and marianna sotomayor from the washington post. thank you for being here. nancy, cbs broke the story about biden's classified documents. what do we know so far about the situation and the special counsel investigation? nancy: what we now know is there were approximately 20 classified documents found in two different locations, about 10 documents in what we are told is a locked closet in the former vice president's office at the biden center in washington, d.c., and fewer than 10 documents at his home in wilmington, delaware, host of them in the garage. some of the documents were labeled top secret, the highest level of classification. what we also know is e attorn

laura: president biden's personal attorney, bob bauer, offered this search to fbi investigators, saying that they've been trying to cooperate as possible fr the very beginning, and thought that -- it lasted about,lmost 13 hours on friday, january 20th. essentially what they found was six items they said that included some classification markings. we don't know if that's six documents, if it's more than six documents, but they found that during the search and they took that into their possession. john: this has been such a long saga. it is worth to walk through the timeline for the viewers. laura: this is technically the fifth discovery. let's go through the timeline. november 2, 2022, bidens attorneys found documents at penn biden center, and they notified the national arches. then on november 9th 2022 doj lunches its assessment. on december 20, 2022, bidens attorneys again find documents this time in his wilmington's garage, and they notified the doj immediately. january 11th of this year, 2023, biden's attorneys find a single document in his wilmington residence. january 12, doj takes possession of five additional documen

palestinian officials announced they would stop cooperating with israel's new far right leaders on security. the u.s. now says it is trying to calm growing tensions. lauray after the u.s. and germany said they were sending battle tanks to ukraine, russia has hit the country with another wave of missile strikes, kilng at least 11 people. ukrainian officials say critical infrastructure was damaged in the black sea region of odessa. russia has condemned the sending of tanks by ukraine's allies. >> this morning in ukraine's capital, once again, underground was the place to be. people seeking shelter in the city's metro station's. it seems to be yesterday's announcement that germany and the u.s. have agreed to sin tanks like these to ukraine that has provoked this latest wave of russian attacks. for kyiv, the latest support cannot come soon enough. the speed of supplying tanks to ukraine and theuantity of tanks support. >> this morning, the german defense minister denied his country's leper tanks would not arrive in time for a possible russian spring offensive. >> i don't have any hints that it could be too late. i think the latest may be at the end of march

cooperation. and then, takes positive steps that would try to rebuild some of the trust that has been broken in this process. lauramuch influence do you think the u.s. government has on this new israeli government? martin: well, we are about to find out. the secretary of state put down some pretty clear markers, i would not call them red lines, but he made it clear that the u.s. as opposed to the far right members of netanyahu's government wants to do, particularly in the west bank, legalizing illegal sediments and changing the status quo. he made it clear the u.s. would oppose all of those things. but, we will see now because that is the agenda of the far right wing. if they start to take those steps, american resolve and standing up to them will be tested. laura: you are a veteran of the middle east peace process. how do you feel about where it is now? martin: well, it's terrible. it's mired in misery for both sides. and we haven't had negotiations since i was involved in 2014. as i said before, there's no way to get back to a negotiated soluon from where we are today. but, hope springs eternal because after the

normal person on the street, so to speak, because if they've cooperated and if there's been no compromise, it would be handled administratively. laura they are these cases are typically not prosecuted, he's talking when classified documents end up where they are not supposed to end up, which often happens with former top-level officials. it was not surprising to him that documents like this were even found in biden's home as well as the pin biden center, as well as president trump, but the cases diverge after that when it comes to how the cooperation or lack of cooperation in president trump's case, happened with the justice department. geoff: we spoke wh the new house oversight chairman james comer on friday and he made clear he is going to investigate the biden white house on this issue and a number of different topics. how is the white house preparing to handle that? laura: the white house responded to the chairman today in a letter and they said they don't have any of the documents on hand anymore because they've been handed over to the justice department and they told him they cannot give them the documents. they also said they

laura, it has. the department of justice has already announced that they're getting involved. the fbi is cooperating in the investigation with the tennessee bureau of investigation, who i called in so that it would be a truly independent investigation. i'm in regular contact with the u.s. attorney here in memphis, and we are collaborating on this. i myself used to be a u.s. department of justice civil rights lawyer before i was a federal prosecutor. and so i know that the federal part of the investigation will often take longer than the state part of the investigation. so i suspect that our office will render a decision well before the federal authorities make their decisions. >> often considered the back stop in looking to see, but continuously proactive. when we met, steve, i knew we'd meet again one day, but i couldn't imagine it would be these circumstances. thank you for joining us. >> yeah. thank you, laura. >> i want to bring in cnn legal analyst elliot williams and former fbi assistant director for intelligence joshua school. it's a very difficult case to think about this happening, the idea

cooperating, which mr. trump did not, but it is something that is affecting his politil situation and giving republicans material to help them in their investigations of mr. biden and his family. laurak you for that update. the war in ukraine was top of the agenda at the world economic forum in davos today. ukraine's first lady laid out her husband's plans to end russia's war while the former u.s. secretary of state, henry kissinger said again ukraine should consider territorial concessions as a way to end the war, something h -- something president zelenskyy has warned out. a warning that this does contai flashing images. reporter: there is big talk here from big business trying to capture the imagination at the world economic forum in switzerland. but what everyone actually wants to know is whether three years of pandemic and war will end this year and provide relief to all those back home in the cost-of-living crisis. the reality is the route to a healthy economy runs through the conflict in ukraine. here, it's first, lauded by delegates thanking britain and claiming it could all be over this year. >> ukraine will this year and we are grateful for the british people for their sup
