For a second weekend. Is trumpism taking root in canada . And Queen Elizabeth Just Announced a new title for camilla. Were live at Buckingham Palace with all the details. Announcer live from cnn center, this is ccnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. U. S. Officials now believe russian president Vladimir Putin has assembled about 70 of the Military Force he needs to launch a fullscale invasion of ukraine. The latest Satellite Images show Russian Forces Gathering Force in belarus. Ed less than 50 kilometers from ukraines northern border. U. S. Troops have began arriving in poland to help boost natos defenses there. American forces have also been sent to romania and germany. Frances president is heading to moscow on monday to try to discourage further russian aggression. Cnns Melissa Bell Is Standing by live for us in kyiv. Melissa, on one hand, Russian Troops positioned in belarus and u. S. Troops on the move. On the other hand, hope for diplomacy still alive. Whats the latest . Reporter well, look, Vladimir Putin has, according to Elysee Transcripts of his recent phone calls with president macron is that hes the one Research Leader that he can speak to and go into detail dos. There is a certain amount of trust between two men. And the appoint is, about this visit, hell be in moscow tomorrow, here in kyiv on tuesday, is that it is a narrowing window of opportunity, really, that were seeing for diplomacy, generally, because of that Military Buildup that you mentioned. Now, american officials have been briefing both lawmakers and european allies these last few days about their latest assessments. And kim, the point is that it is the most dire yet. In terms of the combined forces that are now amassed on ukraines border. We know that ukrainian officials believe that the point of this is to rattle nato, is to test it, is to divide it, is to challenge it. And that certainly seems to have been accomplished. Nato is definitely paying attention to whats happening here. There has been this different assessment between the United States and ukraine in terms of just how serious the threat is, but weve been seeing these Satellite Images coming through these last 24 hours, kim, from maxar, the independent satellite image provider, showing that just on that border between ukraine and belarus, forces have been moving south. So they are now within 50 kilometers of the border, and they are not just men in weapons, but aircraft as well, at several of those airfields along the border. The point here is that even as the world wonders whether Vladimir Putin has actually made up his mind about whether or not to invade ukraine, the point is that hcan. And what the american officials are briefing is that it would really take a matter of days now, at this stage, given the weaponry, given the manpower that is amassed on the border for russia to make it to kyiv and take the ukrainian capitol. Such an assault would cost the lives, it is estimated by american officials and intelligence assessment, it would cost the lives of Tens Of Thousands of people and create many thousands of refugees, as well. So that is the warning from american officials. Not so much that it is a certainty that this is going to happen, but the very possibility that it might is something that ould certainly have the world paying attention to, and again, that window of opportunity for diplomacy, crucial that Emmanuel Macron is able to make the most of it, kim . The world watches and waits. Melissa bell in kyiv. Thanks so much. Day two of the Winter Olympics is now well underway. Speed skating, ski jumping, and luge among the medal events to come today. Sunday kicked off with an historic gold medal win for new zealand in womens snowboarding. And the Russian Olympic Committee just snagged gold and silver in the mens crosscountry skiathlon, but its not just the athletes making headlines. Controversy is all Casting A Shadow over this years games, including concerns over chinese tennis star peng shuai. Her wellbeing was thrust into the spotlight last year after she accused a top chinese official of sexual assault, and then disappeared from public view. On sunday, the international Olympic Committee confirmed plans to meet with her during the games. This years olympics also comes amid simmering tensions between beijing and the rest, with several countries declaring diplomatic boycotts of the games over what they say are chinas human rights abuses. Were covering all of this here on cnn. Coy wire is standing by in beijing, but first lets go to ivan watson in hong kong. Ivan, lets start with peng shi and the ioc confirming that they do plan on meeting with her. What more do we know. Well, we know that the ioc president , thomas bach, is planning to meet with her, but it is possible we will not hear very much about the content of that meeting. Take a listen to this spokesperson from the ioc. Youll appreciate we wont release details through the media of that meeting, but the meeting will take place. And as the president very eloquently said, we would talk with her and it would be up to her to decide what would and wouldnt be said. Just a brief recap, kim, peng shuai, several months ago, set off a firestorm when she published this very emotional accusation that a former senior Chinese Government official had allegedly sexually assaulted her. And she kind of then disappeared from public view. We saw the very heavyhanded chinese Internet Censors erase that from the chinese skbintern and comments about her from the chinese internet. There were really public appeals of concern from her colleagues in professional tennis as well as from the womens tennis association, and when she finally resurfaced, she recanted. She said that she actually hadnt published those accusations, which has led to concern about how freely shes actually able to speak publicly. And thats part of what the appeals are for thomas bach to meet with her facetoface. Of course, as the ioc president , he has been very concerned about avoiding embarrassing or angering the host country of the Winter Olympics, china. Thank you so much, ivan watson in hong kong. So we want to take a quick look at the medal count so far. Norway still leading the pack with two gold medals. The Russian Olympic Committee jumping ahead to second after their wins on sunday. Slovenia now in third and several countries tied for fourth with one gold medal each. All right. Lets bring back cnns coy wire outside of beijing. So, coy, as i mentioned earlier in the intro, an historic day in snowboarding. Take us through the highlights so far and what youre expecting today. Kim, youre from canada, so i know you know what a party in the snow feels like. I was there at the womens snowboard slope style. My bald brother, i was cold, but there was great energy, good music, huge, incredible course complete with a replica, greatly of china for the athletes to soar over. And that is where 20yearold zoey z zoi sadowskisynnott. Zoi pulled off a highrisk, highflying run and nailed a backtoback double cork 1080s. She became the first woman to ever do that in competition just a few weeks ago. The silver and bronze medalist sprinting out, tackling her, piling on top. An awesome display of sportsmanship. Heres zoi who said she hadnt even been able to connect with her family and friends back home yet, because her phone wasnt working. To win new zealands First Winter Olympic Gold means so much to me and i cant believe that i managed to do it. Yeah, im just so super proud to be kiwi and yeah, hope i made everyone at home proud. Yeah, my data stopped working, so i havent really been on my phone, but i can feel the shock waves from new zealand and it feels pretty special. Reporter all right. It was julia marino snagging silver, and tess cody snagging bronze. Marinos silver is the westport, connecticut, was her first winner. Now to figure skating, where a 15yearold sensation has stolen the show. Camilla becomes the first woman to score more than 90 for a Short Program at an olympics with a score of 91. 8. S she is unreal. One of her teammates say, all of the best qualities of a Figure Skater come together in this fragile girl. Shes graceful and powerful. She lands quad jumps and pulls off these performances that were unthinkable just a few years ago. U. S. Skater says shes not even capable of doing what the russian olympic athletes are doing out there on the ice. Propelling the roc to a first place in the Team Competition with three events remaining. So, incredible to think about what they had the opportunity to do on the ice, kim. Its been said that the russian olympic athletes, the skaters, its more difficult for them to qualify for the olympics than it is to actually win a medal once they get here, theyre that good and theyre fun to watch. Unbelievable. And just a final word, as a fellow bald head, let me give you some advice. The key to staying warm, wear a hat put on a hat hey, ive got my beanie nearby, a hood, im ready to go.

The u. S. Justice Department Just released graphic new video showing several attacks between police and rioters outside the Capitol Building on january 6th. The video also contains profanitylaced material, so we want to warn you some of this material is violent and disturbing to watch. Cnns annie grair reports from washington. Reporter the department of justice released new videos on friday that show just how shocking and frightening the attack on the u. S. Capitol on january 6th was. Now, as hard as these videos are to watch, theyre important to show, because just friday, the Republican National committee released a statement referring to january 6th as, quote, legitimate political discourse. Now, be warned, but take a look at this video were about to show you just to see how much this day was not political discourse. Take a look. My god im hearing reports that pence caved. Im telling you, if pence caved, were going to drag motherfuckers through the streets. You fucking politicians are beginning to get dragged through the streets. These videos that are newly released from the department of justice are part of their larger investigation where theyve already arrested hundreds of individuals who are affiliated with the january 6th attack. Annie grayer, cnn, washington. Protesters are on the streets across canada this weekend, pushing back against covid restri restrictions. Now, these trucks blocked a major intersection in toronto for a few hours on saturday, in line with what was seen in quebec city, as well. In the capitol, ottawa, where noisy demonstrations shut down the Parliament Area for a week, some protesters showed up on horseback. The protests were started by Truck Drivers opposed to a federal mandate requiring those crossing the border to be vaccinated. A poll conducted last week shows only 28 of canadians support the truckers main demand, while 72 believe truckers either should be vaccinated or have a recent negative covid test before crossing the u. S. canada border. The poll was conducted by maru Public Opinion for city news. Ma rica walsh is a political reporter for the globe and mail. Thank you so much for being here. I have to say at the outset, ive covered all sorts of protests in canada, so we have to issue the disclaimer here that we cant tar all of the protesters were seeing there with the same brush, including this protest which has united some very disparate elements. But looking at that socalled Freedom Convoy, i was struck by the number of elements that reflected what weve seen in similar protests by the protrump right wing, in this country, whether its literally people carrying trump signs, confederate flags, people calling for a january 6thlike overthrow of the canadian government. What do you make of it all . Its certainly been quite surreal, i think, to watch in ottawa, which is usually quite a sleepy town for a g7 capital, kim. Zps and its really a crosssection of people. Lots of families with kids. Lots of people comparing the Vaccine Mandates to the persecution of the jews. We saw trump flags out there today for his yet to be announced 2024 campaign. So it really is a crosssection. And whats making it interesting in terms of canadian politics is how much the Conservative Party, which is to the right of the governing liberals, is tying themselves to this protest, given how disparate it is, given that there are elements that are more risky to be tying yourself to. Well, exactly. As far as i know, no prominent conservative has really dared to criticize the extremism thats been seen there. Nazi symbols, aside. And we heard the Interim Leader of the Conservative Party saying that were that there were, quote, good people on both sides, which obviously echos Donald Trumps infamous comments in the wake of the White Supremacist rally in charlottesville. So what do you make of all of this, you know, a lot of the hyperbole that were hearing from canadian conservative politicians, it wouldnt be out of pla
