world, many countries, slam the move as sham elections. this comes as vladimir putin faces an uprising from his own people over his planned mobilization. and the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, is saying that he wants russians to revolt against their government. that s right. putin s draft order sparking huge angry protests across the country, leading to more than 1,300 arrests. and now some russians are leaving the country entirely, one way or another. as men try to escape this war. we are seeing long lines of traffic buildup at border crossings and several neighboring countries. as for those who are deciding to try to fight, they are saying good-bye to loved ones, as they leave behind their families to board buses for military service. so let s begin in ukraine. our international security editor, nick paton walsh joins us from kramatorsk. nick, what can you tell us from the ground? reporter: yeah, certainly, these i can t even call them votes, to be honest
can. and to you, the british public, i know that there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few who also will be disappointed and i want you to know how sad i am to be giving up the best job in the world. but them s the breaks. remarkable developments, just three years after his party won a huge mandate in parliament, it is important to note that johnson gave no timetable for exactly when he will leave office, saying that will be announced next week. let s bring in cnn s nic robertson, outside number 10 downing street. so tell us, first of all, your reaction to johnson s words as he finally under intense pressure, we should note, from inside his own party, to step down. this feels like a place holding resignation and less a resignation from power, because it is behind the doors there, appointing replacement ministers for all those who have quit. more a he is resigned to the fact that his party no longer wants him. last night he was talking about and ev
uh, no, i don t think so, they re in a room. the special master, judge raymond dearie, you see right there, this is a man, by the way, that the trump team wanted, recommended for the special master role. he s giving the trump lawyers until the end of next week to submit a sworn declaration under oath about whether they believe, actually believe what they allege there on television. let s bring in paul rosenswag, also senior council during the white water investigation. and former cia intelligence officer, david priess, the chief operating officer of welfare, a blog dedicated to national security. thank you both very much. paul, i think you put it succinctly and so well when you said, law is reality. well, it certainly is. this is, you know, judge dearie said, you can t have your cake and eat it too. i would put it more bluntly.
