let's bring in cnn national security correspondent vivian salama. sarah westwood is in west palm beach covering the president. and political analyst and white house reporter for the "washington post." and vivian, let me start with you. you're there in munich. it's interesting, the juxtaposition of the theme of this conference, westlessness, and the angst over what's happening with the disunity in the west. and hearing from president zelensky, who is so reliant on support from the west. what was your takeaway from the conversation? >> reporter: that's right. like you said, he began his remarks with a few light moments. obviously he was a comedian before he became president. he tends to do. that the conversation shifted very quickly to serious tappics including his -- topics including his reliance on the u.s. for military aid. he's hoping for a reboot of the relationship with the u.s. now that the impeachment trial has ended, that they can focus on important policy issues. and one of the major issues that he talked about was the conflict with russia a

joining us to discuss, cnn national security correspondent vivian salama, in munich. we also have cnn political analyst and white house reporter for the "washington post." thank you both for being with us. vivian, let's start with you. again, a wide-ranging interview. but what zelensky really kept hitting at was the fact he needs the united states' support. we heard from u.s. senators at the end, both the republican and democrat, both saying, look, we support your efforts, especially fighting the separatists in the east. tell us more about how important -- clearly zelensky was saying this is going to be important to maintain a strong relationship with the united states. >> reporter: that's right. and so he was actually requested that we essentially start the relationship from scratch after the impeachment trial ended. he said this is a time for a reboot in the relationship with the united states. he talked a lot about some of the challenges that ukraine faces and suggested that ukraine has a bad rap especially out of washington, where president trump's rhetoric has be

we have senior national correspondent virginia salama with us.t kind of warfare are we expecting to see, vivian? >> we don't know what actually happened in the briefing that took place in the last couple days, but we do have evidence from 2016 as well as former counselor robert mueller provided a road map in his own investigation, and it can be twofold. we're talking physical attacks on infrastructure like booths and things like that, and there is also misinformation in the campaign over the last couple years, and that really caused a lot of disruption in our elections. the fbi has allocated a lot of personnel to deal with this problem, and other agencies have as well. the private sectors also tried to tackle this, like twitter, google and facebook, trying to tackle these false messages and reports and the box you've seen on twitter. it's a really, really hefty beast of a problem and something that right now -- i talked to intelligence officials all the time, and they say we're just not ready for the problem that is still ahead. >> and it is just

cnn national security correspondent vivian salama ma joining us with more information on this. what can you tell us? >> they came out with new details that adds to some reporting i did in the last couple days essentially showing that the omb knew the pentagon had concerns about the fact that president trump and his administration was withholding from ukraine. pentagon officials repeatedly flagging these concerns to omb officials, the office of management and budget and saying they were potentially in violation of the law, breaking the law by holding it so long. the pentagon officials went so far as to say we may not be able to pay out the aid to ukraine if it's held any longer. omb according to the emails that were obtained today essentially swemt it under the rug and said they weren't going to deal with it. they tried to actually withhold that information from official reports. they also allegedly misled the government accountability office which determined that this was a problem. >> that's crazy, misleading the gao. >> ultimately this boils down to a lot of issues that house

now from washington to share that reporting and their insights, julie hersh field davis and vivian salamagraham using words we shouldn't have played on a sunday morning, this is all the democrats, this is all part search and other republicans have said, no, what the president did was inartful or wrong. we know we'll hear a lot of damning thing from the democrats. how many republicans will stand up? >> i don't think we'll hear much more from the senators and the point is to explain why they voted the way they did on witnesses, why they didn't think they needed any more evidence to proceed here and then of course to explain the fact that they're ultimately probably more likely than not almost all of them or all of them are going to vote to acquit him on that wednesday vote. i think they're in the mode of sort of acknowledging that, you know, his behavior was maybe not perfect. some of the republicans are now coming forward very openly saying that. but to remove this close to the election, they're not comfortable doing that. i think we have seen that dramatic shift away from he didn't do any

representative garson salama although they all say the same thing publicly behind the scenes they're pulling in different directions and that is one of the problems he's had 3 days of talks here at the un in geneva the 1st round of the so-called political track trying to get all the sides together the problem he's faced is that many of the key players have boycotted those talks and have not attended those talks he says they really do need to come back to the table because the situation for ordinary libyans is getting worse by the day he's talked about the violence we've seen in the last 24 hours as significant breach of the already very shaky truce and he's also concerned about the situation not just in libya but the situation in syria because in both wars you have turkey and russia on opposing sides i do believe that there are play a lot of now very active in both to me and libya and i do believe that there is a mutual. sort of interaction between the 2 conflicts that is. not favorable for peace in either one i've spoken to senior u.n. officials who are working on both libya and syr

and hong kong are sending aircraft to fly their citizens home let's get the latest now from saudi salama who is live for us in japan's yokohama palls where that cruise ship is on the quarantine. how much longer the people who don't have the virus aboard that boat have to stay aboard. this is the big question how long they should stay specially now with these countries evacuating their citizens we're hearing some information that the japanese government would announce soon that extension is going to extend the current team video from the 19th this month several days maybe for a week and maybe this is the seizure is the reason behind the movements and the plans of. all these countries to evacuate their citizens that 380 bus injures u.s. passengers who are going to be evacuated actually would having some information that they would be evacuated starting from. japan time the 2 hours they would be taken to the airport about an hour drive from here and they would board the airplane that is coming from u.s. to fly them back to their country but they would be also they would be when they arrive

vivian salama is live in durham, north carolina. she saw the speech.rict instructions no cameras, am i right about that? >> reporter: that's right, alisyn, it seems that john bolton does have a lot to say now that the impeachment trial is over but we can't bring you any of that audio because duke signed a strict contract restricting anyone from shooting any audio so we were only able to shoot video of the speech. i was there and eye got to hear everything that he had to say. a lot of things talking about the impeachment trial, he was very coy about what he would and wouldn't say. thankfully one of the duke university students actually asked a question about why ambassador bolton was willing to comply with a senate subpoena and not a house subpoena. now, you may remember ambassador bolton's comments, alleged comments, were referenced by a number of the house impeachment witnesses, but we never heard from him directly. he was waiting for a court battle to be resolved during the house impeachment inquiry and finally when that was dismissed he said and he
