after the meeting at number 10, viktor 0rban spoke of his friendship" with the prime minister. immigrants. you should understand, probably, gentlemen, that the cultural context of migration, here, in a centre of a global empire, may i say, is totally different than in central europe. migration in the hungarian cultural context is totally negative. so to be anti—migrant, it means that you're on the good side, and this is the intention of the people. we don't need migration. you know, we don't like that phenomenon at all. why did you refer to muslims once as "invaders"? that's happened. that was the fact. so, without any kind of legal permission, without any permission coming from the hungarian authorities, theyjust destroyed the border and they marched through the country. in the hungarian language, we call it invasion. and hey were all muslims, anyway... do you understand how many muslims found that offensive? no, no, no, iunderstand. yeah, no, no, of course, i understand, but this was the fact. the hungarian prime minister there. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landalejoins

says he raised significant human rights concerns at talks in london with his hungarian counterpart, viktor britain since the post—brexit transition, and british opposition parties have criticised the visit. the leader of belarus — alexander lukashenko — has accused the west of trying to destabilise his country, as he held talks with his main ally — russia's president putin. the two men pledged to strengthen their alliance. it follows international condemnation of belarus for forcing a ryanairflight to land, in order to arrest an opposition journalist. the uk and eu have demanded the immediate release of roman protasevich and have banned flights from belarus, while brussels is threatening to impose economic sanctions. president lukashenko's kremlin—backed regime is accused of widespread repression and human rights abuse, as sarah rainsford reports from the capital, minsk. in belarus, marrying an opposition politician can make for a very lonely life. for a whole year, volha's only contact with her husband has been these letters from his prison cell. pavel writes poems for her, long stories f

that is one of the reasons why we hear about viktor. it's why people still call belarus the last dictatorship in europe. >>> i want to get to capitol hill and the effort to establish a january 6th commission to investigate the insurrection. republicans already seem set to let the legislation for an independent commission fall through. at least ten gop senators would need to support the bill and only a handle have expressed openness to support it. garrett, good to see you. thanks for joining us. give us the latest of what your haring on this push for a commission. >> reporter: this really started late last week when mitch mcconnell came out. he said he wanted to review what was in the legislation. he came out last week and said he would oppose it. we have seen republican after republican falling. saying they will oppose this commission. their reasons for doing so have been varied. some are saying they think the politics stinks. they will be depending donald trump for weeks and week and perhaps months and month. some want small changes to

the key point, viktor, there is intense bipartisan negotiation going on right now about one piece of the $4 trillion proposal, his infrastructure plan, the republican counterproposal put on the table today, more than $900 billion total about $257 in new money. they're getting closer on top line. but you hit the key point. the president repeatedly talks about the rationale for why he wants to finance his proposals on the infrastructure side with corporate tax increases. on the family's plan side with individual tax increases on the wealthy. he wants to do that. he is not walking away from tax increases like republicans want. until they figure out a way to bridge the gap on the pay-for and how to pay for proposals it's hard to see how they figure out a pathway forward. but still talking and still trading proposals, guys. >> margaret, the gop counterproposal for the infrastructure is $928 billion. the president's first offer what he wanted was $1.7 trillion. but there were back room deals maybe he would be open to less. it seems like this is a divide they shall be able to reach. it seem

they include lev parnas and viktor shokin and attorneys joe digenova and victoria toensing.s according to forces familiar with the investigation. toensing was served with a search warrant last week related to the investigation. the "wall street journal" reported on friday that the warrant to seize giuliani's electronic devices sought communications with anyone who may have worked with the former attorney to president trump on that push to have yovanovitch ousted from her position or on press thing ukrainian authorities to investigate the biden family's activities in the country ahead of the 2020 election. mr. giuliani efforts in ukraine were at the center of mr. trump's first impeachment on charges he' bruced his power by seeking ukraine's help in his 2020 election bid. giuliani attorney robert costello told nbc news his client did not do any lobbying of foreign officials and called the search warrants legal fugary and said he had spoken to alan dershowitz about constitutional issues related to the searches. giuliani at this point has not been charged with any offense. >>> t

. >> ann applebaum has talked about this, the same play was tried in poland, viktor orban. it is a tactic of saying, the problem isn't that you don't have sufficient money in your bank account or that you don't have a job that pays you enough to pay your rent. the problem is these other people. if we could just get them out of here, these immigrants are the problem, these muslims are the problem, these black folks, that's your real problem, and it's a distraction. but then there's also that piece of saying the big lie and that everyone in the party must say the big lie, must show their fealty by repeating the big lie. it's weird how, susan, the republican party has sort of turned into what right wing european parties are like, because there is that big lie. arizona, the guy who's running this fake audit, he has a fact sheet, rachel maddow did an excellent piece on this last night, he has a fact sheet that says the core wherever used by dominion, which is the second largest u.s. voting machine vendor, it's merged basically with smartmatic that he says is founded in communist

republican party is very much morphing into something that already exists elsewhere and to this sort of viktoran hungary-style party. and people need to open their eyes. and i think this is a prime example. >> max who has spent a lot of time analyzing those kinds of dictatorships, they're not very smart. now, if they oppose having a commission that's bipartisan and that's separate from the congress, it's just going to be a select committee. it's going to be like the benghazi committee but with an actual scandal that's real. have they made a mistake here in walking away from a bipartisan commission that will be separated from politics? they've now freed nancy pelosi, speaker pelosi to create a commission that could get at it without the obstruction of republicans. have they made a mistake here? >> boy, it's an interesting question. i don't know. i definitely agree with the overall concept that this is dumb belarus. these are not the smartest folks in the room that are attempting this insurrection. but that doesn't make their intentions less serious. i think their mistake was back on january 13t

rest of the european union, and hungary, of course, is led by the ethno nationalist authoritarian, viktor orban, a strong ally of both netanyahu and donald trump. some may choose to be on that side, but that is not the side i choose to be on. we must be on the side of those who want to build a society based on real security and political equality, based upon the principles of economic justice, racial justice, political justice, social justice, and environmental justice. i believe we must stand in solidarity with those palestinians and israelis working to build a future of equality and peaceful coexistence, and not with the intolerant extremists on either side who wish to destroy their future. in this moment of crisis, the united states should be urging an immediate cease-fire. my colleagues, i strongly believe that the united states has a major role to play in helping the world build a more peaceful and prosperous future, one in which human rights are upheld and the life of every human being is valued. we should be leading the world in combatting the existential threat of climate change.
