Guard before joining the Capitol Police. Sicknick was defending the Capitol Building and congressional lawmakers on january 6th when he was brutally killed by protrump rioters. Please consider this man lost his life protecting the building, his remains now lie in. His viewing comes just days before Donald Trumps Impeachment Trial begins, when a lot of those very same lawmakers paying tribute to sicknick will be in the same chamber deciding if trump will be held accountable for that deadly riot. I want to bring this Garrett Haake on capitol hill and Peter Alexander at the white house. Garrett, this is going to be a very emotional day where you are. Lets talk about this tribute and whats expected for the rest of the day. It it started with an emotional, somber ceremony last night when officer sicknicks remains were brought into the capitol in the bitter cold. Dozens and dozens of his fellow Capitol Police officers were lining the steps in the east front outside of the capitol. His remain
we ll have the forecast from the world weather center. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. and we begin in ukraine which says its food export agreement is still despite a missile strike on its port city of odesa by russia. now, these strikes came just one day after ukraine and russia signed an agreement in istanbul which would allow ukraine to resume grain exports which much of the world decembesperately n. condemnation of the attack has been swift. it is absolutely appalling that only a day after striking this deal vladimir putin has launched a completely unwarranted attack on odesa, it shows that not a word he says can be trusted. and we need to urgently work with our international partners to find a better way of getting the grain out of ukraine that doesn t voflin-vofl russia. and let s get theivan watson. condemnation has come quickly and strongly. take us through the fallout of this attack. reporter: you just heard from the british
Angeles. You are looking screen right at a live Helicopter Picture of the campus of ucla. The sight of hundreds of Police Officers massing right now, apparently in preparation to move in and clear out the propalestinian Protester Encampment that has now been in place on that Public University campus for almost a week. Last night, of course, 24 hours ago, we saw ongoing battles between those propalestinian protesters and proisraeli counterprotesters. That violence finally subsided after about three hours, and now 24 hours on those scenes, replaced by a massing of Police Officers , clearly in preparation for some sort of operation. Live on the campus of ucla is our correspondent, bill melugin. Bill set the scene for us as it looks to you right now. Well, jonathan, just off campus about a mile away, the Sheriffs Department has about 7 or 8 of their big jail busses parked. They are clearly preparing to make arrests tonight. And by all indications, from what were being told from our sources
chips and transistors. what we want is to take it down in such a way we can grab it, look at what s in there. maybe there s something to learn from it. some people say the chinese optics aren t as good as our optics and maybe they needed a real close-up look of some of our missile silos. some people are suggesting other things might be in there. so it s important to take this down for military reasons, it s also very important for diplomatic reasons, and obviously the president wants to show he can protect american airspace and do it the right way. so it makes a lot of sense to me that it s going to be taken down over the coastline somewhere, probably there s a joint task force stood up, so there s people communicating, there are probably a couple of ships offshore ready to grab it with helicopters or whatever when it hits the water. that would be my expectation. i worn, as we wait to see what happens, how it might be taken down, i wonder if you feel like, was china s intention
0 effort to take this balloon down, that would pose a risk to these airplanes down below. so we re seeing this sort of take place to make it so that the area below is clear and safe for this to possibly happen. we will see exactly when that takes place. we know from the ground stop that was published by the faa, that is in place until 2:45 eastern standard time, so another 45 minutes. and this is also impacting, you know, flights that are going into other places. so this might mean that commercial flights on the ground are being told to stay on the ground so the trickle effect, the trickle-down effect goes beyond this area. it s a huge area, but it goes well beyond that and it s including places that have commercial planes flying into the three airports impacted. let s zero in on that. a huge area, 20,000 square miles, and that includes the coastline, and of course, what, generally about 14 miles of waterways along the coastline, which is, you know, u.s. territory before hitting inte
