go, go, go. ukraine s interior minister and a cnn news crew came under mortar fire today in eastern ukraine. this is one of at least 70 violations of the cease-fire reported there today. no one was hurt in this incident, but ukraine says two of its soldiers were killed elsewhere. it s part of the escalation that has convinced the white house that vladimir putin has decided to attack ukraine. today the russian president oversaw a strategic weapons exercise from the kremlin situation room as did his ally the president of belarus. ukraine is now surrounded by russian forces on three sides. as russia denies any plans to invade vice president harris and other western leaders met with ukrainian s president today at a security summit in germany. here s great britain s secretary. it s one of the most dangerous moments for european
and we just heard the british war secretary talking about putin wanted to turn clocks back. he declared his intention 15 years ago in munich. he told the whole world about his plans to return to the spheres of influence and claim russia s rights to control not only the former soviet republics, independent states like ukraine and baltics but even eastern europe. and he was consistent about pushing it through, and we had four american administrations and god knows how many governments in europe that pretended they didn t hear it. so what do you think now in this moment, what do you think he s betting on? he s betting on that nothing will happen when he attacks and why he should think otherwise. because he hear words, and it s very clear the unwillingness of the u.s. administration at least to publish the list of sanctions with names of oligarchs, the assets, the businesses that will be hit by the sanctions, shows
do exactly that. the great britain s, saw america is not new ahead of others in this field. what they need probably to do more, all of them. because not yet every oligarchic, and not only oligarchy but one bureaucrats who are taking decisions, of course, they made decisions with putin, but others have to implement tactical decisions, so to say. and all of them, almost all of them, have money, have families, have property abroad including miami, where i am now. and new york, and of course, london. so, that is very powerful
united states business community than great britain s. you think they re better than we are on a global business stage? give me a break. look, i think that when you look at where look at all the investments that were being made and lowered corporate tax regimes. and that s my point. i m not trying to say that great britain s better than we are. i was saying that their tax rate was 20%. look, i don t want to argue with you, stephanie, i hear you. there is no question that the market is up a lot more than wages are up. i believe that the health of the u.s. economy over the long term is going to be broader participation by everyone in economic growth. and i m for that. and i think we need to see wage increases. i think corporations need to do their part to not only do bonuses but to increase wages. so i hear you. i m not arguing with you. as much as i d like to argue with you. i do like to argue with you. i will say over last eight
this crisis is not playing out over 13 days. but as a secretary kelly indicated, within the next several years, north korea could achieve a nuclear breakout. they could have an arsenal approaching 100 nuclear warheads peer that is an arsenal about half the size of great britain great britain s. if you juxtapose that to its economy, a paltry $16 billion, that is the size of asheville, north carolina. so north korea is a failed state with a very large, potentially large nuclear program. jenna: such interesting numbers, i know you re right about that in usa today. north korea with a economy that is comparable to asheville, north carolina, but with a nuclear arsenal that can be powerful and very threatening paired you said it s a moment for serious diplomacy, what do you mean? is a fair question why would diplomacy work now when it has not in the past? we essentially have three options, we can bomb, negotiate, or acquiesced. the military option is always on
