statement on ukraine saying it would invite the country to join once certain conditions are met. the statement is drawing a furious response from zelensky calling it unprecedented and absurd. bill: you have the u.s. and other countries hesitating to admit ukraine while at war with russia. president biden argues it will trigger article five that would plunge the entire alliance into war with moscow. dana: nato s response plays into russia s hands according to zelensky giving russia more reason to extend its bloody invasion. general jack keane is standing by but first let s go to mark meredith at the white house. the white house says today president biden and his fellow g7 leaders make it clear they stand with ukraine providing more military assistance in the weeks and months to come. still for ukraine s president it may not be enough to satisfy his immediate request for immediate nato membership. u.s. and allies say they re ready to commit the resources to insure his mil
leader was in exile indefinitely, think again. what does that mean for the war in ukraine? difficult day for number ten. the standards committee says former government whip, chris pincher, should be suspended for eight weeks for groping two men in a london club. it will likely trigger another by election. alongside that, the cabinet office lost a legal challenge today to prevent the covid inquiry from seeing borisjohnson s unredacted whatsapp messages and diaries. we will get into a busy day in westminster. but let us begin with that news from belarus that the boss of the wagner paramilitary group, yevgeny prigozhin, has returned to russia according to the belarusian leader alexander lu kashenko. mr prigozhin, who led wagner s mutiny in russia last month, was supposed to have gone into exile in belarus and yet the belarusian leader says he may now be back in st petersburg. for the past week or so, his whereabouts has been something of a mystery. we know his private jet ha
moments ago, we heard from president biden as he s meeting with ukrainian president vladimir zelensky. zelensky visiting washington, d.c. pushing for more aid to ukraine, which biden supports. he wants to send another $61 billion to kyiv. the problem is that biden can t do it without congress. and congress doesn t seem like they want to budge here. republicans on the hill are demanding concessions on border security before they agree to anymore money for ukraine. biden said this about the holdup. take a listen. congress needs to pass a supplemental funding to ukraine before they break holiday recess. before they give putin the greatest christmas gift they could possibly give him. because we ve seen what happens when dictators don t pay the price for the damage and the debt and destruction they cause and they keep going when no price is paid. threats to america, europe and the world will only keep rising if we don t act. all right. let s go to cnn nick payton walsh. he s
i m looking at the list of grievances earlier today. it s long. where do you start? well, i think you start at the fact that this is the f.b.i. that investigated moms and dads showing up at school board meetings saying they were a terrorist element out there. ridiculous. the f.b.i. the rich edmonton field office put out a memorandum saying if you are a pro-life catholic you re radical and spied on a presidential campaign and raided the home of a former president and the f.b.i. cited eight days ago on july 4th in the federal court opinion from the western district of louisiana cited censoring american free speech rights. those are questions we ask about i m sure. this is also the f.b.i. that wants a new headquarters, the very people they censored want them to pay for them to get a new headquarters and wants section 702 of the fisa law reauthorized even though they illegally scrutinized 204,000 times that database.
speaks to the tension within israeli society because the israeli government which is of course more hardline than it has been have been pressing for the army to sweep through the west bank to deal with the terrorist element, but it seems the terrorist element, but it seems the army is more cautious and it is worried about an escalation which can come in any direction. you can t control a population can come in any direction. you can t control a population under- control a population under occupation that reminds you that palestinians, millions of palestinians, millions of palestinians in the west bank are under military occupation. that means that their bodies controlled and their water. i do the same time, israel is building settlements, over 700,000 colonies on that land. you can t do that and not expect there to be a reaction. the idea, as the israeli foreign minister said, that they don t have a fight with their palestinians is absurd. this isjust one element of that struggle, th
