pentagon. what were the headlines? we have been watching this very slow stalled progress of the russians up in the north around kyiv. my big takeaway today and frankly in the last 24 hours of the military campaign in ukraine is that there actually has started to be a slow amount of progress of the russian military around kyiv. why that is significant, it s not because they are so much closer they will be able to isolate the city quickly, and in fact a u.s. official said he thinks it will be one on two weeks before the city is isolated and then weeks more before there s any chance the russians could take over the city. but the reason this slow progress towards kyiv is significant is it shows that despite the fact the russians have been stalled and bogged down, there has not been any indication that they are looking to turn away from the capital city. in fact, it appears that vladimir putin decided to double down and to open up a new front on kyiv and continue the effort
prime minister borisjohnson s decision to support priti patel his trip comes despite rising disease of russia s president putin is due to have talks with india s prime minister narendra modi in delhi later as the two countries meet to talk about defence deals. it s mr putin s first bilateral meeting abroad since the pandemic began and his trip comes despite rising covid numbers in his own country. (read 0n) (pres)0ur correspondent in delhi, rajini vaidyanathan told me more about what s likely to come out of the meeting. military announcements will be the takeaway today, hugely significant, because president putin has not travelled much since the pandemic. here he is for a bilateral with prime minister modi. india gets most of its arms from russia, russia is as largest supplier and one thing that might be talked about a lot today, as well as inking some of these new technical agreements is these new technical agreements is the fact that india has bought these surface to air missiles fro
there was a role. he knew that there were times when the most vulnerable among us, and he knew what it was like to be vulnerable, needed help, and he was there. i think that s the takeaway today. yeah, i mean, demonstrating that empathy and use the power that he had to help others. that s pretty extraordinary. so, you know, we know that dole lost the 1996 presidential race to bill clinton, and today clinton sent out this tweet on dole saying this. bob dole dedicated his entire life to serve vinagre the american people from his heroism in world war ii to the 35 years he spent in congress. after all he gave in the war, he didn t have to give more, but he did. his example should inspire people today and for generations to come. i mean, the two men from very different generations, had very different backgrounds but i ve seen the photos and seen, you know, some of the stories. they actually barnlgs you know, adversaries, you know, an and
of the russian investigation but he knew he would do the right thing. a little different than he spoke with jeff sessions or rod rosenstein why do you think that is i think he s making a huge mistake. he s hoping the change will re-energize the department of justice in a lot of ways but as one of our earlier guests said, rod rosenstein is still running the mueller investigation and the key takeaway today is the president did answer the questions. it hearkens back to the deal ken starr did with bill clinton where they are negotiated an agreement on how the president would testify. those answers, by the way, put the president in peril of 18 usc 1001, and every prosecutor on the panel will say if he s done anything wrong that mueller had, he committed a crime that is the big deal i m looking for. but matt whitaker as acting attorney general is not tenable. here s my reporting, the president s friends on capitol hill are telling him he needs a real attorney general. he cannot get by with
carrier deal. right. that seems like a million years ago. a generation ago. a generation ago. for me it s the i ve learned to just let everything go. because tomorrow is going to be more impactful than yesterday. that s part of the thing too, there s nothing fixed. do you guys feel like what is your approach or what do you feel like you ve learned about what it when the president says a thing? i feel like so much of what we do, the president says a thing, the president said a thing then the next day the president s like, i didn t say that. what do you i do do with that? we try to keep it pretty simple, which is, let s do jokes about what happened today. let s try to constantly point out when there are contradictions. which is constantly. and, you know, try to explain to people you know, our big takeaway today is, look. this is a guy who said he was a different republican. everything we re seeing up to
