ukraine's border. president biden has warned of serious consequences should russia's vladimir putin move ahead with invasion. the kremlin sees nato support for ukraine as a growing threat on russia's western flank. >> that's right. blinken and lavrov's meeting, it's an effort to avoid having this clash of wills end in blood shed in ukraine, damage u.s. credibility, and, you know, unpredictable side effects like a potentially huge spike in energy prices. a lot at stake. covering the talks as only cnn can, cnn's fred lick plotkin is in geneva. nic robertson is in moscow for us. let's start with you, fretd. w fred. what message is the secretary of state bringing to the counterpart? >> reporter: they rolled past where i am a couple minutes ago. the secretary of state is going to have a strong message if russia decides to further invade ukraine, if there is an armed incursion into ukrainian territory, there will be a severe response not just from the united states, but from the u.s.'s allies as well in the form of massive sanctions, but also possibly other economic measures as well. and also the u.s. would then obviously bolster european defenses also. so a lot at stake at these talks here. you mentioned the russians for their part say they believe nato -- ukraine is the de facto already being integrated, as they put it, into nato structures. that is something the deputy foreign minister of russia told me two days ago. they say those concerns need to be addressed. now, the russians said that they wanted written answers to their concerns from the u.s., and they really would have wanted to have them right now. but the u.s. secretary of state said those answers are not going to be forthcoming at this meeting. the two sides do have possible things where they could make some headway. like, for instance, the strategic weapons in european territory, specifically in ukraine, and obviously the big topic, the possible enlargement of nato which is something the russians say is a complete red line for them. the talks are going to be extremely tough, but both sides said the talks are extremely important. the kremlin said they are of utmost importance, so really a lot at stake here and a lot of eyes on geneva on this day, guys. >> you can see the two shook hands. they're sitting down now. sergei lavrov and tony blinken. nic robertson, to you. what are you watching for? the president had to do a lot of clean-up on this entire situation trying to reaffirm the u.s. commitment to ukraine. >> reporter: well, both tony blinken and we heard a few minutes ago from the kremlin spokesman here, sort of saying that this meeting is to see how both sides have taken and digested the diplomatic meetings that happened last week. and russia's initial reaction had been negative, it was not clear there was any more point in talking. that, i think, is how do they come out of this and this talk about common ground. i think as you sort of frame the moods and attitudes going into this meeting, particularly from the russian side, the fact that they want this written response from the united states to their security proposals or demands as they're seen, the kremlin spokesman said, look, we know we're not going to get that in this meeting here, but we're still hoping for it in coming days. and i think that kind of language speaks to the diplomacy that's still in play here. yet russia's position remains very clear and very firm and very tough for nato to digest. not just what fred was explaining, but we heard from the foreign ministry issuing a statement in response to a question last week. and that was both bulgaria and romania that have nato forces and nato missile defense systems and the dutch have offered to fire aircraft to bulgaria to use in the coming months. the kremlin's position and the foreign ministry's position is that all nato, all foreign troops and military hardware should be removed from bulgaria and romania. and that's just been announced. so that tells you the tough line. going into this today, russia is deploying its defense missile systems, hundreds, to military exercises in belarus. again, officials the signalling of russia's very strong military posture around ukraine. so, you know, the atmosphere is as diplomacy at work, but it's really pro scscribed and contai by experts and military posturing. >> and so many layers, accusations by the u.s. that russians are recruiting officials to taken side, take over the government inside ukraine. so many different things to talk about here for that take stock meeting. nic and fred, thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. grammy award-winning singer meat loaf has died. according to his facebook page he passed away. ♪ that's a really good song. according to his facebook page he passed away with his wife debra at his side. in a career that spanned six decades, meat loaf sold more than 100 albums. he appeared in more than 65 movies. cnn paul vercammen looks back on his life and legacy. ♪ >> reporter: meat loaf performed sweet suburban mel difficulties with dramatic flare, unleashing lyrics. >> i'll go out on the stage as if it's the last thing i'll ever do. i said if i'm going out, i'm going out on a stage. >> reporter: meat loaf, where did that name come from?

we know why the president is so focused on semiconductors, right? this global snag in global semiconductors shows how it has left us out in the cold in terms of producing them here. >> reporter: that's right, christine. it comes down to supply chain for this administration because when there are problems, when there are those shortages, that is something that americans directly feel. so, of course, it makes sense that the white house focuses on this, especially as the president battles his lower poll numbers. so today and part of that rollout effort, we will see the president really call on congress to pass legislation that strengthens research and development and manufacturing for supply chains to address that global semiconductor shortage that you just talked about. and now this is by far not the first time that we have heard about semiconductors from this white house that has been the focus of the president and the vice president when she went to asia last year. of course, it is that essential trip that is used for production in smartphones, medical equipment, as well as kitchen appliances and of course cars. that is probably where americans feel it most, the high car prices. today we will see the president tout that $20 billion new plant in ohio as well as talk about other ways that this administration is looking to kind of expand that manufacturing in this country. now, of course, the policy, christine, is going to be really important here. but also the messaging. remember, the president promised he would kind of display a shift in messaging when it comes to talking about this administration's victory. so we will be looking out for both of those things at the white house. >> we know you'll be covering it for us. jasmine, thank you. laura?

pass new voting rights in the u.s. senate. democrats could be targeting two of their own in primaries now. cnn's daniela diaz is live on capitol hill this morning. daniela, good morning. what do you know? >> reporter: laura, i want to talk specifically about one potential primary challenger to senator kirstjen sinema. congressman ruben gallego told manu raju his phone has been ringing off the hook with democratic colleagues urging him to primary senator kirstjen sinema for her vote on voting rights legislation opposing that rules change to pass voting rights legislation by simple majority. you know, there's been a lot of tension with senator kirstjen sinema and senator joe manchin of west virginia for their votes against their own party, you know, first it was the build back better act. they did not support that $3.5 trillion price tag. they wanted to pare down that package. in the end snow joe manchin did not support the final $2 trillion package they were discussing. and now it is voting rights legislation that he did not support the rules change so they could pass voting rights by a simple majority, 51 votes instead of 60 votes needed to pass -- excuse me, to break a filibuster. and as a result, their more progressive colleagues are incredibly frustrated with them. they want to see them primaried and congressman ruben gallego, senate democrats urging him privately to primary kyrsten sinema in the 2024 election. he has not made a decision. i do want to emphasize senators kii kyrsten sinema and joe manchin have shrugged off. >> you'll stay on top of it. thank

joining us now to dig a little deeper into the policies is cnn reporter steve cantorno. nice to have you this morning. tell us, how would the election security force work? are these police officers? >> reporter: yeah, this would be a dedicated sworn force of 20 police officers and another 32 individuals that would support them in investigating election laws in the country. and election experts say that this is unprecedented. no other state has a dedicated police force that is solely looking into election laws that is under the jurisdiction of a governor. it's an arrangement that alarms not only democrats in florida, but also voting rights groups, national voting experts, and election officials, local and supervisor elections that administer voting in florida. and, you know, the governor has said this is something that is needed to ensure the security and integrity of elections here. there has been obviously a lot of talk from republicans across the country following president trump's unfounded clanlims of voter fraud. this is a measure in response to that. no voting fraud has been found here on a massive scale obviously. >> president trump's own justice department found no widespread voter fraud, and many just pooh poohing this as a political move, a solution in search of a problem really, a fake solution in search of a problem. turning now to the desantis-backed bill to prohibit schools from making people feel discomfort or guilt based on their race, sex or national origin. what are teachers saying about this? >> reporter: teachers are concerned. they're worried that they are now going to be monitored for what they say and do in classrooms, that parents will use this as a way to complain about instruction over things like slavery or jim crow laws. republicans say that's not their intent. that this legislation is not intended to whitewash the dark days of u.s. history, but democrats have raised a lot of concerns that this, the very presence on the law books will stifle conversations about race and racism and the experience of minority americans, and keep us from moving forward systematic racism and our past. >> yeah, and we should note it's not just schools. it's workplaces. you can't even do sort of -- employee trainings we all go through here at cnn, that so many people go through trainings, that talk about diversity. those now in jeopardy.

you also tried to pitch a cooking show in 2015 to the cooking channel called cruising in chaos with jamie spears. so all of that being said, a lot of things being said back and forth, the judge decided that britney does not have to put aside any money in a reserve for her family's legal fees as of right now. there are two upcoming court dates, but even though britney is out of the conservatorship, we knew all along she said the conservatorship was abusive. she wanted to charge her family, specifically her father with conservatorship abuse. he said he was going to see this through, he was going to depose and try to prosecute anybody who attempted to mismanage britney's life and funds. this is to be continued situation right now. >> chloe, nice to see you this morning.
