shipment includes ammunition for the front line defenders of ukraine. the pentagon is also working on new military options should russia invade. and that could include a larger u.s. presence in eastern europe and sources are telling cnn the u.s. embassy in ukraine has requested authorization from the u.s. state department to evacuate all nonessential staff and their families. we're covering the developments from all angles as cnn's international diplomatic editor nic robertson in moscow, white house reporter natasha bertrand in washington and lieutenant general curtly is a former commander u.s. army general for europe and the 7th army. good to see all of you. nic, you first. there was no, you know, breakthrough in the talks friday, but both sides say they will keep talking, but is time running out? >> reporter: well, it's very difficult to say. it really is in the minds and hands of president putin because is he playing for time? because his diplomatic track sergey lavrov his russian foreign minister opened up by saying that he will accept the united states to present a written response to what russia has been demanding for some time, in answer to their questions, they already know the answer is no. nato and the united states will allow ukraine to become a member of nato if it should so desire in the future and nato will not roll back its troop deployments and presence to pre-1997 levels which is what the russians are asking for. so, you know, is time running out? what is happening here? while the diplomatic track is going the military buildup continues. russian has those troops on the eastern border of ukraine but at the same time just to the north of ukraine close to the capital they're going through military exercises with the belarus military, massive buildup there, sophisticated air missile systems being brought in there. so i think it's a case of not so much the time is running out, per se, but the diplomatic track, the longer that goes on, the more opportunity it gives russia to be in a position to invade should it so desire. that heightens concerns, heightens tensions. it says it has no intention of invading, but the reality is there is an ability for it, an increasing ability, should it so desire and change its mind. >> and, natasha, what are the options the white house is considering -- are considering? >> reporter: a number of very strong measures being considered if russia does invade and that is the key here. none of these options are going to be implemented including sanctions, including a reinforced presence in eastern europe and the yearn flank of nato unless russia actually crosses the border with its military, that is something that the president and the white house have made very clear over the last several weeks. they are still trying to engage this this diplomacy with russia and for that reason they are not going to make any significant moves in terms of penalties until russia actually makes that decision to invade ukraine. now, in terms of the reception that these threats have gotten from, you know, the u.s. -- the united states allies and from ukraine itself, it's kind of a mixed bag. right now the u.s. has its allies kind of lined up behind it in terms of the penalties that it has threatened against russia, saying that, you know, u.s. allies, including the uk, have been sending increased weaponry over to ukraine in the event that russia does invade. so there's cohesion in that sense, as well as with the baltics, but of course there was that dust up earlier this week with ukraine in which the ukrainian president zelensky tweeted that there are no minor incursions into ukraine, of course, coming after that comment by president biden in his presence conference suggesting that a lesser incursion into ukraine might levy lesser consequences by the united states and its allies. that was quickly cleaned up, the united states was very fast to come out and say that any rolling of the border by russian tanks would constitute an invasion, any land grab big or small would constitute an invasion and would carry those consequences that the u.s. has threatened. the whole world is on edge at this moment and waiting to see what the u.s. and its allies are willing to do if and when russia does choose to attack ukraine. >> lieutenant general, if the u.s. state department does, in fact, move out nonessential personnel and their family members, is this kind of catch-22? does it send a certain message to russia that perhaps it does have the upper hand in this? >> i don't think so, fred. this is a normal situation. if any kind of tensions develop in any countries and i've been involved in several of those in europe when i commanded there, the state department moves out their nonessentials. it's just the family members, you know, the dependents and others who aren't contributing to the day-to-day operations in a crisis. that's not necessarily something that should be a trigger for russia, but what i will tell you is that the military has also -- watching various triggers in terms of what the russians will do. their capabilities adds nic said earlier, their capabilities are pretty monumental right now on three sides of ukraine but we don't know the intentions. on the ukrainian side, they have had a massive transformation of the ukrainian army over the last six years and, in fact, i think they are very well-prepared. you add the will of the people of ukraine that has been compounded by continuous threats by russia. they are ready to stand up for their nation. and i would add to that, you also have to consider the alliances. whereas ukraine is not part of the nato alliance, there are certain european partners and nato members who are saying we will stand behind. that's what gives me the most worry in case russia does something that is unfortunate, not only in ukraine, but there are several nato nations who are already prepared to face russia and it could cause some additional actions that could be troublesome and could contribute to a much greater war. ukraine has already lost 14,000 soldiers over the last seven years. any kind of action by russia going into ukraine is certainly going to have both a military and a humanitarian crisis of extreme proportions. >> so, then, nic, so if you've got the u.s. threatening sanctions, more sanctions against russia, u.s. military munitions being sent in, support for ukraine, what does deescalation look like? if that's preparation, what is deescalation? >> reporter: well, deescalation is what secretary blinken was asks for minister lavrov to do. lavrov commented blinken was trying to make that the main thing of the meeting. the u.s. position with nato allies is quite simply this, look, russia had this military buildup, got our attention, wanted talks, we are in that talk so why do you need the military buildup? dehe is can clat this he thinks it of the military buildup. having got that attention, continuing with that military buildup signals perhaps an ultimate intent here. it's perplexing everyone about how to tackle it because as most people are rightly saying, really it comes down to what president putin chooses to do, how much influence his foreign minister lavrov has, who has the big influence over him. president putin has staked a lot of interest, a lot of his own personal capital, if you like, saying that ukraine is part of russia. these are very, very high stakes right now. >> yeah, and so lieutenant general, particularly for putin, often it is about saving face, right? so, i mean, what's the incentive for him to back down or retreat? it seems like a lot of this has to do with flexing his muscle on the world stage. so is there a feeling that an invasion is inevitable because he wants to save face? >> most fascinating point, that he is -- the biden administration is giving him the potential to save face and forcing him to understand that the repercussions of an attack would be devastating. it would put putin in a similar position as hitler going into the czar land or czechoslovakia during world war ii. this would be a movement that would actually show putin to be a world pariah and it would have not just the nations of europe against him, but as we saw yesterday even japan has stated they are standing up against putin in this invasion of a sovereign country. so he has to weigh what are the gains, what are the short-term gains, what are the long-term gains and how much will he suffer both economically, militarily and diplomatically on the world stage, but also domestically. that's why i think the biden administration is trying to give him a way out, a safe -- face-saving method that he can back away from this. >> all right. thanks to all of you, nic robertson, natasha bertrand and lieutenant general, thank you so much. we will be talking about this a lot more over the coming days. still to come, new information on how trump campaign officials led by rudy giuliani oversaw a plan to put forward fake electors in states that trump lost. and later, a new york police officer killed and another seriously injured in a shooting while responding to a domestic incident. why city officials say this was an attack on the whole city. some of my best memories growing up, were cooking with mom. she

former president trump's campaign was in working to overturn the results of the 2020 election. multiple sources say campaign officials led by trump's right-hand man rudy giuliani oversaw efforts to install bogus electors in seven battleground states. listen to how one of those fake electors from michigan described the campaign's involvement. >> we fought for investigations into every part of the election because he fought for a team of people to come and testify in front of the committee. we fought to seat the electors, trump campaign asked us to do that, under a lot of scrutiny for that today. >> joining me to discuss cnn's marshall cohen and zachary cohen. good to see both of you, marshall, you first. what's the latest on these fake electors? what exactly did the trump campaign try to do? how did they recruit them each? >> fredricka, we are talking about the electoral college, it's a wonky process spelled out in the constitution, but it's essential to how we transfer power from one president to the next in this country. back in december 2020 the real electors across the country met and essentially designated joe biden as the president-elect, but as you mentioned, in many of these states seven key states, trump supporters met and proclaimed that trump was the real winner. of course, it was all based off of the big lie. what we're now learning according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation was that this didn't just happen, it wasn't spontaneous, but trump campaign officials led by rudy giuliani orchestrated this effort. they had conference calls where they planned this out. they recruited people to fill the elector positions. they tried to secure meeting rooms for them in some of the state houses and they circulated fake certificates that the electors -- the fake electors could sign and send to the national archives. so it was a very sophisticated operation, the trump campaign was involved and there are lots of important critical questions that still need to be answered on this. >> oh, my gosh. so many. zachary, so is anyone looking into this as a criminal investigation? >> so the michigan attorney general said last week that she is convinced that the pro-trump electors from her state who signed this fake certificate committed a crime and she's referred that to the federal authorities and is asking them to investigate. now, it really remains to be seen if this results in any criminal charges, but we do have one democrat from one of these key states asking the feds to investigate and to investigate criminal actions, potential criminal actions, by these pro-trump electors. >> marshall, yeah, we all have a lot of questions but is there at least a response though coming from the trump camp in any way? >> look, the trump campaign's position then and now was that this was totally above board. they said they were challenging the election in court and wanted to preserve the potential possibility even if it was a long shot that if he did win this court that they would have the electors ready to go. look, i don't know if that's going to really carry the day here, it's a very shoddy scheme, but listen to what one of these advisers, boris epshteyn who was a trump campaign official, listen to him explaining his role in the plot. >> i was quoted in the "washington post" in the last 24 hours, yes, i was part of the process to make sure there were alternate electors for when as we hope the challenges to the seated electors would be heard and would be successful, part of the fifth amendment of the constitution and the electoral count act. >> right. so you hear it right there, they say they were just preserving all their legal options. a lot of people say that's kind of just some euphemism for an attempted coup. >> okay. so, zachary, i mean, the hits keep coming. there's more. now within we talk about this draft executive order that meant trump in the white house was trying to use the u.s. military, the pentagon to seize voting equipment. what more is being learned of that as a result of these documents being released? >> so "politico" published a document yesterday that they say is one of the documents that the january 6th committee has obtained since the supreme court ruling last week. now, this document purports to be a draft executive order doing exactly what you described, fred. it would authorize the defense department and the military to seize voting machines. the document itself was never signed by former president donald trump and -- but we do know that this issue of seizing voting machines is one of the main areas of focus by the january 6th committee and they've been asking questions about folks like rudy giuliani's role in efforts to do that. we know giuliani asked former dhs official kim cuccinelli about their legal authority to seize voting machines. he was told that there was no authority to do so but it appears those around the former president were still seeking a way to seize voting machines up through, you know, late december, mid-december 2020. >> it's incredible. just when we thought we had kind of heard it all, there just seems to be more at every corner and turn. thank you so much, marshall cohen, zachary cohen, i appreciate you both. all right. it is our city against the killers. strong words from the mayor of new york city after an

new york are calling a shooting that left one new york city police officer killed and another serious injured a senseless and incomprehensible act. the officers were shot while on a domestic dispute call. officials have identified the deceased officer as 22-year-old jason rivera, seen there on the left. they say he along with the injured officer there on the right are the fourth and fifth nypd officers to be shot in the city this month. >> it is our city against the killers. this was just not an attack on three brave officers, it was an attack on the city of new york. >> cnn's polo sandoval is live for us from new york joining us. polo, what more can you tell us about this incident? >> reporter: fred, this is yet another horrible reminder of the dangers that come for police officers responding to these kinds of disturbances, these domestic disturbances and that's exactly how this call started yesterday according to a timeline laid out by nypd just last night. officer jason rivera, that 22-year-old rookie officer was among three officers that responded to a call from a mother who was apparently involved in some kind of argument with her 47-year-old son. rivera and a second officer wilbert mora according to detectives walked to the rear of the apartment and that's when investigators say the door flung open and inside was a man identified azalea shawn mcneil that investigators say used this pistol that we want to show our viewers to open fire on these officers, fatally wounding officer rivera and critically wounding officer mora. you see that drum high capacity magazine attached to the glock pistol. investigators try to find out whether or not the officers possibly knew that this individual was this possession of that firearm and obviously where it came from as he was basically on probation, described as a career criminal. now, when it comes to that third officer that was in the living room, investigators saying that he opened fire, wounding mcneil and he's currently hospitalized. what you're hearing, though, from top city officials is obviously not only the heart break but the frustration that this high level of street violence that we've seen not just throughout the country but particularly here in new york city has claimed one of their own. i want you to shear directly from police commissioner key sh keechant sewell as she said the level of loss is beyond compre comprehension. >> i'm struggling to find the words to express the tragedy we are enduring. we're morning and we're angry. the nypd, new york city, all of us, as i stand here in harlem hospital tonight a new york city police officer has lost his life, murdered, and another one is fighting for his life to survive. the pain their families are experiencing is not something anyone can put into words. >> reporter: now, about three weeks into his administration for mayor eric adams, you can bet this this latest incident will certainly increase pressure on him to make good on his promise to improve public safety in certain pockets of the city, those parts that have seen an increase in street violence, mainly gun violence. in fact, these images coming from the mayor's office just a short while ago as he made his way to harlem's 32nd precinct. he says he wants to show solidarity with those men and women in uniform who work at that precinct, showing solidarity and supporting those officers now grieving the loss of one of their officers and praying for a good outcome for a recovery for that second officer who is currently fighting for his life, from he had. >> yeah, all the pairs go his way. polo sandoval, thank you so much. >> thank you. all right. turning now to south carolina where a grand jury has charged suspended attorney alex murdoch with 23 more crimes in four new indictment. those indictments claim he stole over $2.2 million meant for four clients. murdaugh now faces a total of 71 charges stemming from the accusations that he defrauded victims of nearly $8.5 million in various schemes. he also is facing fraud charges in a separate case that officials call a botched fake suicide attempt. cnn has reached out to murdaugh's attorney for comment, but has not received a response. all right. still ahead, while covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are finally beginning to drop in some areas in the u.s., hospitals are still overwhelmed by the number of patients. why some medical professionals say they are still in a crisis. the living room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash... and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slash vacation home. find yours on the vrbo app. welcome back. some health experts are cautiously optimistic that we may have seen the worst of the omicron surge. new cases and hospitalizations are finally beginning to drop in some areas of the u.s., but there are still some places facing what they call a crisis. hospitals simply overwhelmed by the number of patients. cnn's nadia romero has more. >> reporter: a trio of cdc studies released friday underscore just how urgently the booster shot is needed to fight off the omicron variant. according to the cdc, the booster was 90% effective at preventing hospitalizations over a period of december and january, compared to 57% for those with only two shots six months after their second vaccination. the new data raised the question of whether people with just two vaccine doses should still be considered fully vaccinated. cdc director dr. rochelle walensky stopped short friday of endorsing such a change. >> we are working to pivot the language to make sure that everybody is as up to date with their covid-19 vaccines as they personally could be, should be, based on when they got their last vaccine. so importantly right now we're pivoting our language, we really want to make sure people are up to date. >> reporter: meanwhile, those fighting covid on the front lines are being stretched beyond their limits. six metro atlanta hospitals say they're seeing mostly unvaccinated patients fill up their hospitals beyond capacity. >> we are running about 110% capacity right now. we've had to divert ambulances over the last several weeks because the huge number of patients coming in. that has a big impact on the rest of the city. it's wall to wall stretchers. we have no capacity left at the hospital. >> reporter: the message from health care experts to get vaccinated and boosted also comes with a renewed push to limit the spread of the virus. and to alleviate long lines at testing sites across the country, you can now order free at-home coronavirus tests from the federal government online or by using a new hotline. >> people need a test immediately, we continue to encourage them to utilize one of the many testing options that are out there in addition to the website. 20,000 community-based testing sites nationwide, federal surge sites, dozens of which have opened in the last few weeks or online. >> reporter: and testing is such a big issue here in the city of atlanta, we saw those long lines especially around the holidays here and so for the atlanta public school district when they came back to in-person learning teachers had to undo mandatory testing twice a week, but though they've added students who are doing extracurriculars, if you are in band or a sport, you have to do testing as well if you want to participate. it's all in an effort to keep kids back in the classroom. fredricka, we talked about that trio of cdc studies released yesterday. one of them addressed one of the biggest myths we heard throughout this pandemic, that getting the vaccine would limit your chance of having a baby. well, the cdc study released yesterday shows there is no connection between being vaccinated and decreasing your chances of fertility. fredricka? >> all right. nadia romero, thank you so much for that. all right. china says no foreign athletes have tested positive yet for covid-19 and as of friday more than 2,000 participants had arrived in the country, including officials and members of the international olympic committee. cnn's david culver is in beijing and looks at how the city has already become a fortress as it tries to keep covid out. >> reporter: traveling into beijing may prove to be a tougher race than an olympic competition. these winter games taking place in the capital city that increasingly feels like a fortress. china determined to keep out any new cases of covid-19, starting at the airport. >> this is the terminal that's going to be used by athletes, some of the olympic personnel and media arriving into beijing. they have a wall up that keeps the general population away from every one who is part of the olympic arrivals. >> reporter: those coming in required to download this official app to monitor their health, inputting their information starting 14 days before arriving in beijing. while health surveillance and strict contact tracing is part of life for everyone living in china, it's making visitors uneasy. cybersecurity researchers warn the app has serious encryption flaws, potentially compromising personal health data. china dismisses concerns, but team u.s.a. and athletes from other countries are being advised to bring disposable burner phones instead of their personal ones. from the airport athletes and personnel will be taken into what organizers call the closed loop system. not one giant bubble, so much as multiple bubbles connected by dedicated shuttles. within the capital city there are several hotels and venues, plus the olympic village, that are only for credentialed participants. the dedicated transport buses will be bringing the athletes, personnel, media through these gates, but for those of us who are residents outside, this is as close as we can get. then there are the mountain venues on the outskirts of beijing, connected by high speed train and highways, all of them newly built for the winter games so as to maintain the separation, even the railcars are divided and the closed loop buses given specially marked lanes. it is no restrictive they have told residents if they see a vehicle part of the olympic convoys get into a crash to stay away. they have a specialized group of medics to respond to those incidents. it also helps keep visiting journalists from leaving the capital city to other regions to explore controversial topics. with the world's attention the olympics allows china to showcase its perceived superiority in containing the virus, especially compared with countries like the u.s., but this will in many ways also be a tale of two cities, one curated for the olympic arrivals and pre selected groups of spectators, another that is the real beijing. though some local beijing residents are now in a bubble of their own, communities locked down after recent cases surfaced in the city outside the olympic boundaries. a mounting challenge for a country that's trying to keep covid out and yet still stage a global sporting spectacle to wow the world. so all of this is a real challenge for chinese officials, to portray this as an open welcoming host city when you're surrounded by barriers. we're seeing more and more broadcasters and personnel canceling plans to come here in part because the realization is starting to hit, china's zero covid restrictions are like nothing else in the world and if you contract the virus or government health officials say you've been close to a confirmed case, there is no challenging them. they can and most likely will put you in isolation. david culver, cnn, beijing. straight ahead, adele postponing her las vegas residency, the singer fought back

i will end you with the song titles, but hello? i mean, they want to know especially -- they are in vegas, they spent a whole lot of money to get there, from their plane tickets to their hotels and all that. so did they get anything immediately in exchange? >> no. >> nothing? >> no. it doesn't make any sense. presumably there will be some makeup that she will do, although it's hard to imagine what that could be because fans -- you know, the tickets were extremely expensive, let alone traveling to vegas during covid. the whole thing is very odd. >> what's odd to it about you? what portion of it is odd to you? >> all of it. you know, the fact that -- the fact that they wouldn't have realized it wasn't going to be ready until, what, 14 hours before showtime or whatever it was? and there are reports coming out right now saying that it actually was not covid, that there was a dispute over the use of a big 60-piece choir for the sky fall. so ditch the choir and keep playing. the thing i didn't understand is why she couldn't have just come out with a piano player and did an acoustic set for the people who had paid to be this and say, sorry, it's not the show i was expecting but we're going to give you some songs anyway. >> there's so much that is curious. i don't want to doubt what happened, i mean, from what her message says, but those first few words of her statement when she says we're not ready immediately made me think, okay, does that mean, you know, it was the order of -- or the choreography of the lineup, of the music, but then, you know -- but then when she said the pandemic and covid, it's like, okay, well, i guess we all understand. but there are contingency plans, right? when you put on a show like this there are contingency plans especially in the pandemic? >> ordinarily. you would think that whatever stopped the show would have been noticed a few days earlier. >> yeah. oh, boy. hey, celine dion, she postponed her residency last fall and then just this week put off her remaining world tour. i mean, what do we know about that? i mean, her residency in vegas first go-round was gigantic and then, you know, here, i guess, this is a contingency plan they put into place. >> i assume so. you know, celine said that it was her own health issues, and, you know, adele is a lot younger than celine. so, you know, i don't know about the veracity of that, but that was also, you know -- that's also farther away. she didn't do that the day before it was supposed to start. >> i'm feeling for everybody involved there. i mean, it's a big blow bottom line. all right. jim, how about this, i mean, we have to talk about this super bowl halftime lineup and the rollout, the trailer. i mean, there is a lot of buzz, very exciting. here is the trailer. ♪ california ♪ ♪ in the city of l.a. ♪ >> i mean, you could just kind of feel like the bounce in the low ride, you know, with that music. i mean, last year's super bowl, okay, so it was the least watched, but this makes you, you know, pretty jazzed. do you think this is what it's going to take, this is the boost to get it -- to get the viewers excited? >> well, absolutely. a lineup like that, that is a lineup for the ages, you know, and the weeknd was great last year. that was a difficult performance to pull off and he did it. you have five of the legends in the last 20, 25 years in all of music, not just hip hop. i like the way that it nods to l.a., the super bowl's home city this year, that it respects the legacy and that, you know, it's in line with the music that an awful lot of football plans and football players really like. >> seemingly it's going to appeal to a whole -- i mean, just a span of generations. what super bowl doesn't need that? >> absolutely. and the thing is even a lot of the older fans will recognize the songs that they're going to be playing because it's dr. dray and eminem. >> what's old is new again. i like it. >> yeah. >> or what's seasoned. i don't like to call anybody hold. what's seasoned is new again. >> right. >> pardon?
