by this time, how do you respond to such requests from american congressmen directly in the pentagon? what do they say about the possibility of the potential transfer of exactly such weapons to the ukrainian military immediately after a copy of this letter was made public, this question sounded in the pentagon so coincidentally that immediately there was briefing today, he told the american ministry of defense and the spokeswoman, the deputy spokesperson, more precisely , sabrinatsy spoke today that at the moment she has nothing to announce and that the united states has not yet made a decision on the transfer of such systems, but they are considering in detail any possibility of transferring various types of weapons, including such drones as for what the united states is focusing on now, she said that the main focus is on the supply of those things that the ukrainian army needs for of fighting in winter conditions on the battlefield and also says that sabrinasinnyh is also considered by dynamo. by the way, at the last contact group on the security of ukraine in the format of rammste

michael maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the pentagon. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. all. now, all of this comes as ukrainian cities remain without electricity after russia has reportedly conducted about $85.00 strikes on ukrainian infrastructure. that's according to authorities in kiev. our t correspondent, mariah garcia, has more details about the blackouts affecting the country. ukrainian government has described the situation with electricity as desperate even bordering on catastrophic into regions in ukraine have been plunged into blackouts. outages of being observed, observed all over the country lowball network operators limiting services in the bid to keep others rubbing, such as basic phone calls in care of half the cities said to be with our power in oil, this is, this is as a result of a massive a volley of cruise missiles and other strokes. of course, ukraine, little by the russian military. the euclidian side with said the claim that $85.00 various shrikes, most of them cruise missiles, were launched

the trade-off we have made as a country, with respect to the pentagon budget, i agree with you. we should be applying the same kind of fiscal responsibility in other parts of the government to the pentagon is well. there has generally been this attitude that spending on the pentagon and resulting in making a safer international defense outcome. i don't think that is true. i would argue imposing a budget constraint forces you to more stringently consider what your priorities are and to weigh those trade-offs more effectively. talking about the farm bill or the department of education, as well as the department of defense. it was something that people wanted for a number of purposes. they didn't scope it out as well as they should have. many of these programs the cost has increased dramatically. now we are in this bucket where on the one hand, it is far more expensive to start over. we are constantly dealing with a claim that cannot -- a plane, tongue-in-cheek, that cannot fly. that is a classic example where we really need to go. the planning at the front end is so important to e

p>> sandra: this update at the pentagon right now, listening for specific reaction from the pentagon to the missiles landing in poland, killing two. we are going to continue to monitor that, and back to the pentagon as soon as we get a specific update on that. bill, i'm sure we will learn more on that situation in a moment. back to leadership, byron donalds on the house leadership process. >> there have been fights for leadership in the past. that's not new. i think everybody can take a step back and understand it's not new stuff. as a conference we are going to make sure that when we line somebody up for speaker, not just 218 but whatever our majority will be. >> sandra: some of what we are hearing. >> he's right. they have to line it up, but they have to stand for something. can't be just you don't like the personality, or think they did well in the midterms. people, we have inflation, we have russia, we have china, gas prices, people want to know what are republicans going to deliver. if we -- if they get the house, which is likely, they can have big effects by stopping or temperi

to the pentagon as well. i think there is generally been this attitude that just spending more on the pentagon ends up resulting in making us safer and better national defense outcomes. i don't think that is true. i would argue quite strongly that imposing a budget constraints actually forces you to more stringent league consider what your options, are and where those trials more successfully. i would personally argue that we are talking about the farm, bill the w. education, as well as the department of defense. >> remind us about the f-35 program. >> is a classic example of something that was a plane that people wanted for a number of purposes. i think in scope that perhaps as well as they should. for many of these programs they cost us increase dramatically. now we are kind of in this bucket were on the one hand it is a sunk cost, but on the other hand it is probably more expensive to start all over. we are constantly dealing with a plane that is tongue and cheek, says it can't fly but flies negative issue

this is confirmed by work contracts, approved registration cards reporting documentation of pentagonontractors was contwich metabiota nomenclature of pathogens that were studied in the framework of ukrainian projects, upi ip is in no way related to issues relevant to the healthcare of ukraine and problems, while the main focus was on the study of natural focal and especially dangerous infections, which are considered as potential agents of biological weapons. for example, the goal of the t2 project was to study the pathogen itself, and the case of which has never been were recorded on the territory of ukraine, of particular concern is the conduct, under the control of the us department of defense, of tests of causative agents of inflationary diseases and toxic substances on ukrainian military personnel and the mentally ill, who are one of the most vulnerable categories of citizens . conducting studies with unknown risk to life health and participation. although the research program included only standard blood sampling procedure. the document required reporting significant incidents

ukraine, the usa promises to strengthen the domestic air defense system as much as possible the pentagon although they cannot reliably estimate russia's missile reserves, the american press found out what the problem is, what exactly are the plans of the us ministry of defense regarding military aid to ukraine, we will discuss all this right now with my colleague from washington dmytro manopchenko e-e dimov i congratulate you so what exactly the pentagon declares, and by the way, what kind of publications are these regarding russian stocks, they are ready to tell about it and would like to say that at the moment when we all feel the consequences of russian missile attacks in the pentagon, they are just trying think analyze understand well, what is the goal of russia, and this is, agree, an important question, because in order to oppose something in order to take action, something must be understood. said. i will quote here. russia is trying to suppress and exhaust ukrainian air defense systems, well, first of all, keeping in mind that the stock of missiles for air defense is still limite

the pentagon has just spoken about the incident. i can tell you that we don't have any information at this time to corroborate those reports and are looking into this further. and so when we do have an update to provide, we'll be sure to do so. can might, can or in washington, dc, what do you think the timelines will be for, for, for that was for the response that they're talking about? well, the speculative, the question simply is, is, when will they ascertain exactly what happened? we put from the pentagon, the national security council, now the state department, all of them are saying the same thing. we cannot confirm that this attack took place. so exactly what happened. we had deep concern about it are looking into it now that the results of those investigations are finding out exactly what happens. what obviously determine the timeline. but what is very clear, even at this very early point, is that the us in particular is being very cautious in the city is trying to dampen down a situation and not to try and raise any level of

the pentagon says it is looking into the reports, no verification coming from there.eri schultz joins me from brussels where nato headquarters is located. from your sources in poland, what have you been hearing about reports of this reject i'll hitting polish territory? teri: that's right, using the word projectile is what my sources are saying at the moment. they have not confirmed officially that this is a missile. they say that it could also be a drone. there are also reports at what the explosion on the ground was actually the aftermath of eight missile potentially being shot down. i would emphasize we do not have official confirmation of that yet from the polish government and just within the last moment i've received a quote from a nato official saying they are looking into the reports and consulting closely with poland. so we really do not have official confirmation of that yet. i think these meetings that are taking place in warsaw, when that is over, we will know a lot more. brent: we will probably -- that will determine what nato will do next, if anything. w

the pentagon is talking about it right now.'s take this. >> so when we do have an update to provide we'll be sure to do so. separately, one year ago this month families on oahu faced a crisis when fuel spills at the red hill -- >> the ending remarks of the pentagon statement on this. we were obviously coming into it late. i'll trust the control room to get me any headline from that. but christiane, let me come back to you on the point you were making that before we know what happens next we have to know what has already happened. continue your thought there. >> reporter: well, from the very, you know, small snippet we got of the pentagon spokesman there it appears that they too are not ready to confirm what happened. again, i think that's what we heard. and if the control room can tell you exactly what he said, that'll be good. but it does seem to be an amount of confusion right now. and you can imagine why. this is, you know, sort of a nightmare scenario because of all the red lines that nato leaders including the united state

air defense systems, we will talk with yulia yarmolenko, who followed today's messages from the pentagonnd is currently joining our broadcast. greetings yulia. so, what details did you manage to find out about the new deliveries to ukraine of air defense systems natalya, today there were several important statements from the pentagon, first of all, air defense the provision of military assistance from washington to kyiv remains a priority at a closed briefing for journalists, a high-ranking pentagon official today stated that the united states and its allies are currently considering all available air defense capabilities that could potentially be handed over to ukraine, in particular, they do not exclude those patriot systems, they also said at this briefing said that the united states and allies conduct training for the ukrainian military to use various types and systems of air defense and also that it is important to talk about the fact that in the near future they can provide certain air defense systems very soon, others will have to wait a little longer because of theirs because the

the logistics of the transfer to ukraine will be difficult and expensive, and they say so in the pentagon says that this is a waste of time, that is why they decided to modernize and significantly improve the tanks that are already known to the ukrainian armed forces, these are the t-72 tanks, they are reinstalled and with their new modern systems, so that the ukrainian armed forces could use them faster and could also service them, however, not all lawyers agree with this opinion, in particular, the former commander of the us ground forces in europe, ben hodges, believes that the united states can and should transfer tanks to ukraine . he expressed in a comment to the ukrainian service of the voice of america that there is no good reason why we have not done it yet, so learning will take time, but no one learns faster and better than ukrainian soldiers, so for that a large package of material and technical support will be needed because abrams tanks require a large amount of fuel and the requirements for their maintenance are different from those of a typical ukrainian tank. okay, but le

the pentagon is investigating. we are anticipating a briefing in a minute all of it as it's around 4:00 a.m. bali time where president biden has meeting with members of the g-20. i want to bring in molly hunter in kyiv. monica alba at the white house. andrea mitchell. former nato supreme allied commander and retired four-star general mccaffrey. i thank all for being here. i want to make it clear, there are still a lot of question marks about what happened in poland. we know that the polish leaders convened a meeting according to some official reports out there. we are just hearing from the russian defense minister. >> reporter: we are. so and just to give more context from the polish government, anything we hear is going to come out of warsaw. any confirmation about what happened in polish territory will come from warsaw and we did just hear from the cabinet spokesperson who said please avoid jumping to conclusions. we will announce what we know when we get out of this meeting, but russian state media did cite a st

here's what we heard from the state department, just after what we heard earlier from the pentagon. it is important for us to determine whether missile crash in poland was an accident or a deliberate act. state department also says us does not seek to escalate situation and is working with poland and nato to collect more information, taking time to understand what has happened. and also we've heard from the white house. this is the statement from the white house. shortly after receiving these reports, national security advisor jake sullivan spoke with chief of the national security bureau of poland. we cannot confirm the reports or any of the details at this time . we will determine what happened and what the appropriate next steps would be. now joe biden is currently in bali for the g 20 summit. however, we understand that he has been briefed on the events on what has taken place and he plans to be speaking with the polish head of state. and the post leader will be speaking with biden, over the phone. they will be consulting on the matter. now, as we've heard from the nato chief hi

as the pentagon has admitted that washington cannot confirm whether the missile was russian. well, i think we want to deal with facts. and so again, we've seen the press reports, and as i mentioned before, i walked in here no information to corroborate these reports at this time. but again, we're taking them seriously and we're looking into them. and so i think it's incumbent on, on all of us to get the facts before we start speculating or jumping to conclusions . and then we'll go from there. now it appears so far the united states has given us somewhat measured response, while some members of nato seem to be calling for an immediate escalation. we are hearing washington say that they need time to investigate and determine the truth. here's what we heard from the state department, just after what we heard earlier from the pentagon. i don't want to speculate about hypotheticals, and we're working with the government and our partners to gather more information and assess exactly what will happen. we're going to do that. we will determine what will happen in permanent per writt

the pentagon saying the u.s. is investigating. >> we have no information at this time to corroborate those reports, but again are taking them seriously. >> reporter: president biden has been briefed on the reports out of poland, speaking with polish president andrzej duda late today. biden has said repeatedly, the u.s. will defend all nato territory. >> the united states and our allies will defend every inch of territory that is nato territory with the full force of our collective power. every single inch. >> reporter: the news out of poland coming hours after russia launched 90 missiles at ukraine. the biggest barrage since the start of the war. knocking out power to 10 million customers. 80% of lviv in the west and half of the capital kyiv plunged into darkness. zelenskyy defiant in the face of the russian blitz, addressing his people, saying, "we will survive everything", shaking his fist. ukraine claiming russia's devastating attacks were a direct response to president zelenskyy's speech to g-20 leaders hours

you, paul, we were in talks with the cia and the pentagon. it's true. the pentagon conducted intelligence operations during the war there near nancy battalion, such as as off, were established in ukraine after a us back to coo and 2014 members. of these radical military groups were blamed and even convicted for numerous crimes against civilians. the most notorious of these groups was called tornado tornado fighters were torturing raping and killing civilians, subsequently being convicted by ukrainian courts. however, earlier this year, zalinski government released tornadoes, leader, and several of its members. so let's go further in depth on this. i'm joined now by investigative journalist alex rubinstein. alex, it's great to have you on the program to day. now this interview comes after italian police arrested members of an ass, og tied nat, nazi cell, who were planning attacks in the country. now, do you consider that this is something that european should be worried about? well, of course, it even interposed chief has worn that there'll be a black ma

we minutes ago the pentagon's press secretary said this.— minutes ago the pentagon's press secretarys. we are aware of the press reports alleging _ secretary said this. we are aware of the press reports alleging that - secretary said this. we are aware of the press reports alleging that two l the press reports alleging that two missiles have struck inside the ukraine border dutch struck poland. we cannot corroborate those reports and are looking at this further. when we have an update to provide, we will do so. the when we have an update to provide, we will do so— we will do so. the pentagon press secretary saying — we will do so. the pentagon press secretary saying they're _ we will do so. the pentagon press secretary saying they're looking i secretary saying they're looking into these reports, and i'm just stressing that in terms of actual confirmation, we are still awaiting that. let's cross over to washington now to talk washington dc is dr alina polyakova, president of the centre for european policy analysis, who is an expert in russian foreign policy. given what was seen from t

you know, does does the american cutting edge today require to, you know, the old school pentagon dumps billions or is it just supporting those five or six people in a garage? well, i think you're right that the the origins of the chip emerged not solely from from private sector forces, but there was a really careful balance that was calculated between the role of the pentagon and defense spending and the role of private firms. and what you find is that the pentagon was pouring funds into research, into microelectronics in general. but it's also the case that the two engineers who invented the chip were working not on pentagon research contracts or specific for defense projects, but on their own. they were pursuing their own interest in their own invention. so there was always a bit of a balance. on the one hand, companies liked getting research dollars depending on the other hand, the companies that did the best were the ones that kept the pentagon and the government in general a little bit at arm's length, because they realized that the big market was actually not selling for the defe

the pentagon is being incredibly careful.iefing just a short t time ago, the press secretary said they're aware of the reports, they're trying to get a better sense of what happened. no definitive statement on what caused the explosions or the deaths or crucially where they came from. was it russia that fired these missiles. we've already seen the ukrainian accusation and the russian denial claiming that images have nothing to do with russian weapons. the u.s. looking for a lot more clarity and understanding than a simple russian statement. asked whether there was any change to u.s. force posture or any steps the u.s. was taking, here's what the pentagon had to say just a short time ago. >> and when it comes to force protection, we always take the safety and security of our troops, no matter where they're serving, very seriously, and so we're very confident any force protection measures that we take whether it be poland or elsewhere. but again, you know, we're not going to get ahead of ourselves hear. we here. we're going to

so the concerns of the pentagon are very legitimate. what is the intention behind all of this buildup of military arsenal? >> ambassador gary loch, always good to have you. thank you. >>> a potent storm system is marching across the middle of the country. right now tornadoes, dangerous wind and lots of snow in the forecast. more than 40 million americans are under some kind of severe weather alert. cnn meteorologist tom seder is here. what's the timing of this storm? >> it's already going on. we've got three states right now with tornadoes. this is a dynamic system, as you mentioned. watches and warnings for the snow, coldest air of the season, 1 to 3 feet in some areas, minneapolis, several inches. but it's the deep south, once again, that is really the target. a level four out of five. storm prediction center, this is the first time during the month of november that not one time but two times we have seen a level four out of five. the last one was on the 4th of november. we had 62 reported tornadoes, multiple fatalities. the greatest

thank you very much. >> yeah, the pentagon audit is a really interesting thing and for years the pentagon said we can't be audited, we're too complex and too many systems and we're not going to bother. congress even saying you have to be audited and the pentagon wouldn't. in the first or second year of the trump administration -- with, well, the justices made clear in dobbs that's not true, they mentioned griswald v. connecticut, loving v. virginia, one justice wrote that overruling roe does not mean the overruling of those precedents or cast doubt on those precedents, i don't know what more the supreme court could say to indicate that obergfell is not threatened by this court any time soon, so imleft with the conclusion -- so i'm left with the conclusion to preserve this legislation what is already ruled by the supreme court as a constitutional right, that this is, frankly, a scare tactic, nevertheless, some of our colleagues claim this legislation is absolutely necessary, while this bill does not move the needle on same-sex marriage, it will raise questions on religious liberty, we know

the representative of the pentagon said that this will be the most advanced the version that ukraineceive for conducting combat operations on the battlefield, half of the tanks or part of the tanks will arrive by the end of the year, and the rest will arrive next year, so actually this is a good arrival, because we need to advance and there are never too many tanks on the battlefield, there are also 250 btr-m 1117 is a wheeled armored combat vehicle - it's actually not the model that we see on tv now, it's player m109 and btr-m 100-1117 is actually a new model that's enough oh, it's actually what it was in its time the united states army used in cancer in afghanistan, this is an armored combat vehicle of the 4x4 formula, which can have various functions and it is just optimally suitable for our light and assault brigades. it can have different versions . by the way, one of the versions is actually a wheeled tank with a turret from the cockerill company, and this turret can to use ukrainian guided projectile falarik caliber 90 mm in fact, this is just an opportunity to involve industr

what i hear from all officials from the pentagon officials is that there are enough of those mechanisms. these are direct presidential administrations, which is called the presidential decree, according to which ukraine will receive and money and support and equipment, and it is not necessary to write it off there, to return some kind of reporting , to carry out a huge amount, as in the case of an excess, that is, on a large account, this is such a reserve, there is a mechanism, but that what am i hearing right now, what's wrong, he is already needed. at this stage, thank you for this conversation. dmytro onopchenko, a journalist from washington, was with us live. and it's two o'clock in the morning, and that means that andriy sinitsyn is breaking into this night with an updated news release. thank you, friends, really yes, the information service is already ready and the news release literally in a moment the only news together we are strong armed forces need drones make your contribution
