why? let s go outfront. good evening, i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, on the brink. president biden holding a call with key u.s. allies for roughly 80 minutes tonight over growing fears russia is on the verge of invading ukraine. the president saying everyone is on the same page. the call comes as 8500 u.s. troops are now on heightened alert to possibly deploy. as president putin shows no sign of backing down. as their presence on the border enlarged or changed in a qualitative way that ises ses escalating? yes. they are continuing to add battalion troops to their western border, to the border with ukraine. and in belarus as well. the numbers there are increasing. so they have not only shown no signs of de-escalating, but they are in fact adding more force capability. they are in fact adding more force capability. this is just how fast the situation along the ukraine border has deteriorated over the past few days. i want to show you this new video tonight. okay, s
boris johnson s brand has been badly damaged. and the reason why it has struck such a nerve here in particular is because, of course, people were canceling a lot of their own personal events, their own personal birthday parties. in fact, back in march of 2020, a 7-year-old girl wrote to boris johnson to explain her parents would likely have to cancel her birthday party. he wrote back and published his handwritten response on twitter and said he was sorry to hear about the birthday, but, of course, we all got to do our bit. so, most people in this country did their bit. question now is did the prime minister. brianna? we did just get word during your live shot, scott, that the prime minister says he s going to cooperate with that investigation. he doesn t have a choice, really, i would say. we re going to see how brits are affected by all of this. scott, thank you. new day continues right now. good morning to viewers here in the united states and around the world. it is tu
the ukrainian capital kiev. according to the times, dozens of people, mostly russian wives and children of diplomats have been boarding buses for a 15-hour ride back to moscow. a bipartisan delegation of seven senators met with ukraine s president, zelensky, as troops stand ready to potentially invade along the border. zelensky telling the senators, quote, it is important for ukraine that you are with us today. joining us now is national security analyst david tsesange also the correspondent for the new york times and part of the team behind this new report. david, the russians, of course, are out denying that this is true. we just wanted to put that to you, as i know you and your colleague have this lengthy story about the state of play. sure. thanks, kasie. welcome. so the russian statement said that their embassy is still operating, which is true. our story said that, as well. the ambassador is still there and so forth. but american officials heard and picked up
rights lacks the votes necessary for a filibuster carveout. and there s a question how to react to russia, amidst reports that it s ready to raise a false flag as a pretext to invade ukraine. it s enough for biden to be envious of boris johnson. against this backdrop, hosting a byob garden party while the rest of the nation is in lockdown, that s a walk in the park. no wonder the president s approval rating according to a survey released by quinnipiac university stands at just 33%. the white house response was to argue that quinnipiac is an outlier. and that the real number according to a 538 average is 43% approval. as in we know things are bad, but they re not that bad. while some of the vexing issues are arguably beyond the president s control, many were missteps. not the sort of things you d expect in a washington lifer who campaigned his season and experience. take the tuesday speech, the president hoped for a momentum shift with a trip to georgia. perhaps his exuberance
budget faced by many of those citieses. tonight a third topic covered last november, bringing the two together in chicago and other cities. red light cameras, you know what i m talking about, cameras taking photos of those winning through red lights. that can cost drivers $50 to $100. a driver s desire to avoid the tickets is a key reason that advocates quay the camera reduces crashes. the insurance institute for highway safety shows a 13 to 29% reduction in injury related crashes at intersections that have red light cameras. the insurance institution is funded by insurance companies and insurers can raise premiums on drivers after being caught running a red light. there s a conflict of interest there. many cameras are not marked, meaning drivers don t know they are there. it s part of a debate over whether cities are using the cameras more to boost revenue than to promote traffic safety. public outcry over the camera is reason why using them is a decline. it peaked from 512
