top of a brand new hour. good to be with you. i m victor blackwell. and i m alisyn camerota. as of now there is 72,057 people killed by coronavirus. the president is asking for new vaccine mandates. as of december 4, federal contract workers, employee businesses and health care workers must be fully vaccinated. they are talking about controlling the spread of the virus. what we re really talking about is control, and control has a wide bracket. you could have it under control where you have enough infections in the community where it isn t a pandemic phase but it still is interfering with what we would like to get back to what we used to know as normal. what we hope to get as it s at such a low level, it doesn t have an impact on the wait we live our lives. the president s new man date, we mandate, we know, is facing opposition. kaitlan collins has more for us now. kaitlan, first, the decision to enact this in january, is the white house explaining why? reporter:

counterpart railed against the west, and the russian president once again accused the west of escalating the conflict. he also announced russia is now suspending its participation in the start nuclear arms reduction treaty. phil mattingly is in warsaw for us. phil, tell us what the u.s. reaction was specifically to the news from vladimir putin that he was going to suspend his participation in the new start treaty? it was a split screen, not one that was planned. that state of the nation address framed everything the president detailed in his lengthy remarks in warsaw. when it comes to what president putin said about the new start treaty, u.s. officials were quick to respond that it would be irresponsible and compliance wise, russia has not been fully comp compliant over the last few years, and so there s gray area here, middle ground, but it underscores what is the dissolving of the u.s. and russia relationship, and the result of russia s invasion of ukraine, it s a central
