president biden just landed in brussels for critical talks with u.s. allies about russia's war against ukraine as the bombs keep falling and civilians keep dying. the u.s. now formally declaring that kremlin forces have committed war crimes. this hour, we're getting new glimpses of the widespread destruction from russia's invasion, and a new estimate of the toll on vladimir putin's

well, joe biden is on his way to brussels next week for a big nato summit where he will read a speech someone wrote for him and hopefully biden doesn't sell alaska back to the russians. but biden's folly is expected one way or the other. as we know, he has been wrong on every major foreign policy issue over the last 40 years. he is expected to announce more than a billion dollars in military aid to ukraine tomorrow which is good. providing them with more javelins and stingers, which they desperately need. but maybe we should send lori lightfoot instead. we saw how she handled the italians. maybe she could show the russians who is boss. remember, she has got the biggest blank in chicago. those were her words. meanwhile, ukrainian president zelenskyy's coming to the slow realization that his country was never going to get a seat at nato's table. >> ukraine is not a member of nato. we understand that. we have heard for years that the doors were open. but we also heard that we cannot join. it's a truth and it must be recognized. >> jesse: shortly after these remarks, poland called for a n

right now, secretary of state anthony blinken is traveling to brussels for nato meetings where the tensions are expected to be addressed. i will bring in the secretary of labor under president obama. he was only the second asian-american in history to become deputy secretary of a cabinet position. thank you very much, chris, for coming n. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> can you explain the tension between the public tension that we saw play out in alaska between blinken and his counterparts last week and the clear tension between the administration and china right now and your fear for what may be to come in terms of vitriol and hatred against asian-americans in this country? >> for as long as asian-americans have been in this country, we have been treated as outsiders, as people who can't be trusted. you can go all the way back to the 1,800s, with chinese railroad workers in world war ii and the rise if trade tensions with japan in the 1980s so there is this consistency that when there are tensions with an asian country, people asian american are often scapegoated. and to be clear, look

troops of other nato countries to this area so there was already last week a summit of nato states in brussels. we decided to double the number of multinational battle groups from four to eight in different countries. so this is the right answer to russia and this is real peace politics. because only our strength can guarantee peace. >> good morning, mr. president. thank you for taking time with us this morning. among your 2 million or so citizens in latvia, you have a large russian polllation. i think it's a quarter of your population. given the way that vladimir putin has framed his invasion of ukraine as sort of reunifying russia and bring those people back into what russia he believes should be. i'm cuious about the reaction from the russians who live in latvia about what he's doing. >> the russian minority is largely integrated in our society. of course, like in other democratic countries like in united states, germany, latvia, there are small minority which supports russia, which supports putin, but it is a minority and in general the people all around supporting ukraine. it is overwhelm

he was banned from the european parliament inhe brussels after attacked a female politician. he physically assaulted her. assi recently as last year, at e age of 93, he faced new charges, new criminal charges, for threatening a jewish actor that he would putor him in an oven. his name is jean le pen, he's in his 90s. he founded the national front in france. hein founded it 1982, after a publishing house oof nazi house. and until 2011, in 2011, he stepped down, the person who took over for him in running that party was his daughter whose name is maureen le pen, his youngest daughter. now, her father, jean-marie le pen, he ran for president in france five times. he never got close, but his daughter, that turned out to be a different story. tomorrow, she will debate emmanuel macron, the president of france. and it will be their first and only debate of the presidential campaign. and then on sunday, french voters will go to the polls in runoff election between her and the incumbent president, president macron. it's the second time in five years she's made it to a runoff with him.

relations with russia today at conclusion of a nato meeting in brussels. he was asked about russian infl influence in the u.s. election. >> thank you, sir. what does russia need to stop doing in order for the u.s. to work with it? chairman of the joint chiefs is meeting with his russian counterpart for the first time since russia invaded ukraine. can you trust the russians? >> jennifer, i think the point about russia is they have to live by international law just like we expect all mature nations on this planet to do. and what we will do is we will engage politically. we do not or are not in a position right now to collaborate on a military level but our political leaders will engage and try to find common ground or a way forward where russia, find common ground or a way forward where russia living up to its commitments will return to a partnership of sorts here with na nato. russia is going to have to prove itself first and live up to the commitments they have made in the russia nato agreement. >> just to clarify, do you believe that the russians interfer

you recently went to brussels. you met with the leaders of nato. i played a tape of ayed donald trumpth dressing down the head ofe nato on how stupid they were. this is i think in twenty eighteen because here it is we pay more dollars than any other country to protect nato allies from russia and then r these nao countries that don't even pay an equal share in terms of gdp turn around and make russia and putin rich again. putin is going to make close tos a billion dollars a day this year alone by by selling oil and gas to western europe. i mean, that's a form ofth madness. they are funding the war in ukraine by doing so. you're a hundred percent correct. we also went to romania and poland and i will tell you this , sean, they will talk about donald trump as the individual that was right 100% they're no longero just spending below. they are now increasing beyondd, two percent, two and a half. and you know what else e they realize their strength isr not just their military. whethererngth isst they're dependent or not dependent on other countries o in

. >> reporter: tomorrow president biden heads to brussels where he will attend a nato summit and recommit to the common defense. a welcome show of support for an alliance that former president trump openly disdained. jeff? >> okay. thank you. >>> while the president deals with foreign affairs at the g7 summit, the push for his domestic agenda continus at home including a search for a compromise infrastructure noon can get through -- plan that can get through congress. our political reporter, caitlin huey-burns, joins us for more from the washington bureau. so good to see you this saturday morning. in is not the first time -- this is not the first time that joe biden has met many of these world leaders but the first time he's meeting them as president biden. what are you hearing from your sources on how that dynamic is playing out? >> reporter: good morning. the first time that they're meeting face to face. no more zoom interactions, a welcome development for president biden who likes this one-on-one engagement. what's really interesting here is that foreign policy has largely been on the

"fox & friends first" continues right

late today in brussels, biden told reporters that during discussions with allies, he laid out what he intends to tell putin. >> we will respond if russia continues its harmful activities. we will not fail to defend the trans-atlantic alliance or stand up for democratic values. it's in our mutual interests and the interests of the world to cooperate and see if we can do that. and the areas where we don't agree, make it clear where the red lines are. i have met with him. he's bright, he's tough, and i found that he is, as they say, when i used to play ball, a worthy adversary. every world leader here as a member of nato that spoke today, and most of them mentioned it, thanked me for meeting with putin now. >> one issue the white house says definitely will be on the table at their summit, the reason ransomware attacks in the u.s. which authorities say originated from russian hacking groups, biden said the u.s. will respond in kind if russia refuses to cooperate on the cybersecurity front. in his exclusive interview, nbc news foreign correspondent keir simmons put this question directly t

what do you think biden is going to say when he gets to brussels, assuming he gets there, next week? >> he could get there during a hostage crisis paid the city could be completely surrounded and he has no leverage. so i would suggest you do something dramatic for them and we had general kellogg on the show last night and he said we have to send them the patriot missile defense this done. so these batteries are surface to air. you can even send them the russian made ones, the s300, and you can basically take out a cruise missile. he can take out a ballistic missile. you can take out aircraft like that. there are very expensive. about $100 million per system. but ukraine is running low on the surface to air defensive missile systems, and that would make a huge difference. because if you can get them into kyiv now before it is encircled, that would stop the shelling. and so if you have the city surrounded by these armaments that are shelling not only could you block with the -- you could take out the ten columns with stingers and javelins. that would be the decisive action to make puti

you look at what's happening in brussels. you look at what's happening all over the world. take a look at nice. take a look at paris. we've allowed thousands and thousands of people into our country and there was no way to vet those people. steve: and so the next day then donald trump sent this out because people in sweden going no attack here. and he tweeted this. ainsley: my statement as to what was happening in sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on fox news concerning immigrants in sweden. brian: you know, i found a quote too. the prime minister said sweden has been naÏve and it's hard to accept that in our open society, cent sized from killers from the islamic state. so they've said in the past they have a history, and they steamrolled the fact that nice, germany, and brussels are beyond the approach. and they say where's the proof? steve: well, i tell you what. tucker carlson is host of the show that apparently the president of the united states was watching. tucker, when you heard donald trump on saturday night and then you saw the media reaction w

cnn's nic robertson joins me now from brussels. nic, many people knowing russia's past with these kind of random deaths are saying this can't be a coincidence. what more are you learning? >> reporter: yeah, the spanish investigators are continuing with their investigation. the russian investigators into vladislav avayev's death, say this appears to be a murder/suicide case to them. this appears to be, if you will, certainly a rational from the kremlin that there is nothing to see here, if you will, that there should be no nefarious -- suggestions of nefarious activity. but the coincidence that both men, both former senior executives, both men who would likely be clear and plain about speaking their minds, now living in an environment where russian authorities tell people to inform on friends and neighbors if they're not being patriotic, and given the background of the kremlin that it is quite willing to reach out at home and reach out overseas and silence through death critics of the kremlin, and the deaths coming so close together

brussels is beaming as well. katya adler, bbc news, paris. the bbc�*s reeta chakrabarti is in paris, she told us more about the election result. it is sweet because it is victory and he's pulled off this great feat of being elected twice in a row — the first person to do that for 20 years. but analysts keep pointing out that the figures don't look great for him — he has won by, we think, around 58.5% of the votes in the second round, which is less then he won by five years ago, when he got 66%. it appears that madame le pen, his defeated rival, has put on in the region of 2—3 million votes. this is yet to be absolutely confirmed, but this is what is being projected and estimated at the moment. and we heard during this campaign repeatedly, particularly in the last two weeks when the left was effectively edged out of this final contest and a lot of people felt disenfranchised, they felt they didn't know who to support or where they could make most a difference. and some left—wing supporters — a lot of left—wing supporters — were

the european union has voted in brussels. that's important. the more thing is why the president came into the briefing room today, which is that the parliament has voted to aadvance their referendum and to break away from ukraine and join the federation. that's what the president and his advisors are all very concerned about. that per precipitation actions by the military that has been very restrained until now and it would seriously escalate this crisis. >> some say the other greatest threat would be any kind of partitioning after the battle days of the cold war. what i keep referring to as cold war muscle memory. we remember it's easier to remember east versus west. >> and i was just talking to our ambassador. this would be one event that could really precipitate a milita military crisis. russia is part of all of the agreements, and the ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons in the' 90s in exchange for guarantee of their borders. if russia tries to take it back, it would be considered a vote in the referendum by the people, that could precipi

i need to move over to brussels if i may. what do you think president putin once with donbas, and what do you make with the european council president in kyiv today? >> it appears that instead of working across ukraine they went to focus on donbas, but mentally analysts think that because of the may 9 victory date deadline they want to serve up some kind of positive story for russia, because most analysts have been shut and surprised at how long this has taken russia. people have overestimated the russian military, it has been acting chaotically and now they can focus on donbas. the ukrainians have a great experience, they have been working for eight years and the president of the council is visiting kyiv today signaling europe's interest in the region, but the issue about sanctions is symbolic in many respects. we are seeing the russian economy is taking a hit, that the key issue is energy. for example, germany is almost half reliant on their supplies from russia, so i think that the fact that they are still not talking abou

and forth from the labor ministers and the central bankers and the differences in opinions between brussels and berlin and london here, that this is a doomed marriage in many sorts, but i think the idea of letting this family fall apart or maybe going after the assets and trying to divey up the estate is far more difficult than the prospect of a reconciliation but you have germany, which is really worried about its banks on the hook for exposure to greece or portugal, if they are in effect allowed to secede and default on their debt, you have the french saying let's try to do. this let's try another round of bringing in the ecb in an austerity package but does any responsible government want to put that on its taxpayers? >> joining us from bloomberg business week. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. have a good weekend. >> you're watching bbc world news america. still to come on tonight's program, 4,000 miles from england, the union jack slides proudly on one north carolina island, a constant reminder of the british sailors who died there. in spain today, the country's crown prince fill leap

let's start with what it has been said today in europe and in brussels in nato. there's a lot of concern, clearly, on the part of the u.s. government, i think the u.s. intelligence agency and allies, about putin being essentially at a stalemate. it looks more and more like that's the case. and reaching for some kind of either chemical, biological, or even nuclear attack, to break that stalemate. how plausible do you find that? how should we think about that and the noises that are coming from nato about that? >> i find it very plausible. it is the way putin thinks, it's what he did in syria, to try to win the war. just it kept increasing the attack. nato leaders take this very seriously for two reasons. warren is, we've never been in this situation before, we've never confronted this. and it is a completely unpredictable thing. we played more games that came out these scenarios, but they don't really have satisfactory answers. of course they are just games. once you start this process of using chemical weapons or god forbid a nuclear weapon, there is no clear ter

got word that madeleine passed, i was in midair on my way to europe to meet with our nato allies in brussels to help try to continue to keep the strong, strong alliances together. our organization and international response to russia's brutal and un-- madeleine was part of the reason why nato was still strong and galvanized as it is today. a few days later, i traveled to poland and spoke about all that was at stake in our world and for democracy and freedom. it is under assault from forces of autocracy and oppression. many are tired of hearing me say i think we're at another inflection point in world history where there is literally a severe confrontation between autocrats and democratic nations. president clinton, it was not lost on me that you spoke at the same warsaw castle that i was about to speak at 25 years earlier. in my case it was evening, the interior of the castle and beautiful courtyard holds about 500 or 600 people. mostly poles and ukrainians were present when i spoke. i'm sure many in the audience spoke english, though likely not their first language. when i mentioned the nam

david frost was giving his first major speech in brussels this evening, laying out the uk government's position as they negotiate a future relationship with european union. a downing street adviser, who's been widely criticised for his comments on issues including race and women in sport, has resigned tonight. andrew sabisky had only been in post for a short time. labour had called for mr sabisky to be sacked for suggesting in the past that black people had lower average intelligence than white people. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster. what is going on in the background? just a brief background on the appointment, andrew sabisky was hired as an advisor, a contractor in number ten and that was quickly condemned when comments made in his name appeared. among other things he said, compulsory contraception could be used to stop a permanent underclass and women's sport is more comparable to the paralympics than to men's. after growing criticism tonight he said he had quit the downing street role taking to twitter to say the media hysteria about his past online comm

oh, brussels sprouts, it's not what you said! when most politicians try to undo the scandal trump was a genius. he would add another one to throw us off the trail. i know you're upset but why are we talking about me sleeping with a porn star when i'm about to overthrow the government, huh? that's the real story, folks. throwing over my own government, and i'm going to overthrow it with me inside it. now i'm upside down. all right, finally, let us turn to toad big education news. i before e except after c. apparently, it's not true. you can just flip that shit. i based my whole personality on that. also another education story is, over the last few months, there have been big movements by conservatives to put limits on what kids with learn in schools. lawless saying you can't teach divisive concepts about race, laws saying books should be pulled from libraries for talking about gender identity. basically at this point if it's not math, science or how to hide from a shooter, they don't think it's appropriate for kids to know about.

and we raised it when we were at nato headquarters in brussels as well. so can you tell me whether we have a plan in place to maintain a peacekeeping presence? secretary blinken: first, let me just say thank you for your engagement, for your leadership on these issues. not only your recent trip but just across the board. i remember well from my days working for this committee, senator voinovich was the sort of flag bearer and really appreciate the fact that you have sort of taken the flag on the western balkans and let me say two things very quickly. first, i think generally speaking, the situation with the russian aggression against ukraine only underscores the broader urgency of integration for all of these countries into european structure, something that in a variety of ways we're continuing to encourage, work on, support. we have programs that will try to help them advance their candidacies and qualifications and meeting criteria for these things that i know you know very well. that's a general proposition. diplomatically, we've been engaged in every

being governed by brussels they want to bring power back to italy and i think this is potentially very problematic as the third largest economy in europe becomes more national and less european. >> what would you be telling people as we head into this weekend, to beware >> well, i've told them they don't want to own the banks in the way they've behaved. i certainly wouldn't want to own european equities, italian equities especially going into what could be a difficult result for the european union i'm saying be very cautious. >> how do you feel about u.s. equities >> u.s. equities are in a corrective phase i like what i said to you before, becky, cash bonds, closed end funds yielding over 10%. i'm happy to get the money every month and that way you can adjust to whatever the market's doing. i think if you're doing nothing but, you know, long tech stocks, as an example, you're having some difficulties right now because we are going through a correction >> when we're going through a correction, we're about 650 points away at least on the dow from being back in correction territory. you t

here's our europe editor katya adler in brussels. for any sanctions package to be passed by the eu, it needs to be unanimously approved amongst member states. be unanimously approved amongst memberstates. but be unanimously approved amongst member states. but is hungry saying no, or is hungry saying not this way? well, brussels thinks is the latter, it thinks it can have these oil sanctions approved, properly by the weekend, but there will be quite a lot of living and horse trading in between. you see, we are on sanctions back six by now for the eu and some member states, like hungry, are affected more than others. so was notjust hungry, it's like a comedy czech republic, gary who are beginning to see other member states, who are beginning to see other memberstates, look, who are beginning to see other member states, look, you have got to help us out here, you have got to reassure our voters. it was not straightforward for the eu on one hand and on the other you have to say even when these oil sanctions are passed how effective are t

3rd i sent secretary pompeo an email to express my appreciation for joining a series of meetings in brussels. i think was really important and the chemistry seems promising. really appreciate it. pompeo replied, all good, you're doing great work. keep banging away. state department leadership expressed total support for our efforts to engage a new ukrainian administration which, of course, he now says included with his quid pro quo. arms for political dirt. >> and back up to page 16, nonetheless before the september 1st warsaw meeting, the ukrainians had become aware that the security funds had note yet to be dispersed in the absence of any credible explanation for the hold i came to the conclusion that the aid, like the white house visit, was jeopardized. in preparation for the meeting, i asked secretary pompeo whether face-to-face conversations between trump with zelensky would help break the logjam. specifically on thursday, august 22nd, i emailed him directly and i wrote, should we block time in warsaw for a short pull aside for potus to meet zelenskiny would ask zelensky to look him in

believe we should have left presence there and blinken called up the president after meeting with nato in brussels, meeting with nato ministers in march and says listen, our allies are getting a little upset. they are worried if we pull out there is going to be a problem. and he finished up with an explicative saying that the general strong armed president barack obama so he wouldn't buy time. our allies did weigh in. they were all concerned. the secretary of state tried to convince joe biden he was too bullheaded and thick-sculd the secretary of defense said that so even joe biden's own team tried to tell him what a disaster was about to happen and he ignored all of them. it. ainsley: blinken goes on to say the president and blinken, they were proponents of pulling out of afghanistan. blinken's concern was we are doing this too quickly. the recommendation was to extend the mission with u.s. troops for a while, to see if it could yield a political statement and buy time for negotiations and then he goes on to say that biden was un -- he was undeterred. he explained in colorful language that he fel

cnn's nic robertson is live from brussels. they are saying this is now a big test for those big institutions, the u.n., european union and whether or not they act on what we're seeing coming out from towns like bucha. >> they have said they will work with ukrainian investigators, they will provide assistance so evidence can be examined and processed and used in an international criminal court and of course in the european union there is a good degree of experience at trying international war criminals, processing vast amounts of data. one thinks that what the international war crimes t tri tribunal, what they did in 1995, so there is a skill set and there is an intent and certainly what we heard the european parliament president roberto metzola speaking about yesterday speaks of not just that support but sanctions. they set a very high bar for what they should reach for. >> we need to step up our investigation and the hits must be level with the atrocities we are seeing. >> reporter: they have been talking publicly about targe

>> well, hello to you, well, first of all, we in brussels talk about the economic side in the building but also to provide more support and more weapons. i'll be very honest with you to ukraine, and the weakest and the fastest to the eu which would mean more financial possibilities and protection. you should start, even if the war is still going because we get a lot of questions. do we need to talk about building now, and unfortunately i have just received very bad news from odesa that there are another five rockets which have been started by the russian side from crimea. they are going to odesa right now, so i cannot really talk to you long enough because i would have to be on the call with people in odesa, but yes, we have to start the rebuilding process already. we have to start understanding what kind of industries and what kind of corporation do we need, what kind of temporary housing, what kind of cooperative forces we can do between great britain, the united states and europe because we -- you may have understood already that ukrainians were domination, a very proud one, and we

downing me now in brussels is cnn's nic robertson. so "the wall street journal" is saying the u.s. prepared sanctions against her, but at the 11th hour decided not to include her name on the list. why was that? >> reporter: yeah, she is really important to vladimir putin. you've only got to look at those pictures to see how smitten he is with her. we know from putin's spokesman, dmitry peskov, that he really does not believe sanctions should be put on leaders. peskov has said before that's not right, it's not suitable. he's also said that this would poison the relationship between -- the political relationship between president putin and president biden. but this is something different. i mean, you can look at this and say, in a diplomatic situation like this, you could leave the threat of something that for putin would be really ugly and touch a raw nerve with him, leave on the table the threat of sanctions on the one person you cherish the most. and remember, when you talk to most russians, they'll tell you that putin just does not care about people. we've seen him let thousands
