u.s. foreign policy. both my colleagues in the larger public would benefit from the opportunity to understand and engage in -- regularly. particularly since your word is just as important as those of many other bureaus as the department of state who have frequent opportunities to testify in front of congress. the system of international organization established in the wake of world war ii is an incredible achievement but we cannot take for granted. the united nations kept the peace between major powers for decades, and plays a critical role in peacekeeping around the world. the un system and other institutions have also helped to advance technical and humanitarian cooperation in many areas. at the same time, more than 75 -- of the signing of the united nations charter we see more and more signs that the edifice of international borders are in need of renewal. we face new challenges like climate change and climate driven migration. we have those esoteric questions about standards and govern

gerry: the u.s. and its allies quickly went on to win the war thanks to the ground troops were enough soviet of course did not have nuclear weapons i nato and the current u.s. currently grimacing out of ukraine paired but could that change must ask our panel. robert o'bryant let me start with the a process work goes on and the carnage continues and we know -- russian testing seems to be targeting siblings, targeting cities but were going to see as we bid did back in 1999 horrible images of civilians being killed. do you think the current bipartisan agreement that new u.s. forces should actually engage there even in the no-fly zone, do you think that is going to hold? >> i think it will hold. unlike xhosa vote we were dealing with serbia, we are doing with the nuclear power of russia and then putin who is already rattling the nuclear saber. but the beauty of this situation is to brave ukrainians who are fighting for it hope you're not seeing a choice situation in alamo situation. i compared zelensky t

the u.s. would ban all imports of russian energy to make it clear that the american people would not be part of subsidizing putin's unjustified war. at the time, i noted that we were able to take the step when others could not because the u.s. is a net exporter of energy with a strong domestic industry and the u.s. welcomed the you's -- the eu's statements valid to decrease dependence on russian gas. today we are accelerating our progress towards a secure, clean energy future. this initiative focuses on two core issues, one, helping europe reduce its dependency on russian gas as quickly as possible. secondly, producing europe's demand for gas overall. the u.s. together with our international partners, we will work to ensure any additional 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas for europe this year. as the eu looks to disconnect from russian gas by 2030, it will look to secure additional market demand for 50 million cubic units by 2030. the european commission will work with member st

u.s. diplomacy promo to protect human rights forality b. tq persons everywhere. a little over one year later rescindedat make progress includingro a date to human rigs supporting into policy that denied americans to get children of same-sex cup of born abroad and c more. these have come in the moment history where we are seeing children and their families be targeted simply for being who they are notsh only abroad but also in many states across america. i want to briefly address this. the rights and safety of lgbtq individuals particularly trends individuals they are often targets of violence especially in the case of a war zone that is towards the lgbtq plus committee and we are hearing how difficult it's been for trends individuals to leave ukraine for fear of safety so i call in united states to work with the crane to do everything we can to ensure this happenser now to we still have much further to go in protecting the rights of lgbtq persons. i look forward to discussing these issues.

u.s. sanctions over russia's war. washington warns beijing not to support moscow the china tech selloff continues as the nasdaq 100 sets into bear market territory. below $100. traders break for a hawkish fed with the markets already pricing seven rate hikes 2022. dani, good morning. there's something very strange happening in the oil market with sub $100 is that angst about china growth, or is that perhaps the beginning of the beginning of the beginning of some kind of off-ramp in geo politics? dani: it seems oil encapsulates everything we see in markets. it's a risk going forward. manus: this is how the hedge funds quite literally rolled, ramped and then disappeared from the mark. this is one of the fastest liquid days since 2008 -- liquidation since 2008. this is what you call rinse and roll. dani: you're looking at oil and i'm looking at stocks, manus because it's not great news that despite the fact we had oil prices come down dramatically that stocks are take aback. a lot of it havin

the u.s. intelligence community and pentagon believe that russian troop losses are in the 5,000 to thousand range, up from a couple of days ago when they said 2,000 to 4,000, but they make it with low confidence because of the lack of transparency. but that is a huge number in just a short amount of time. and that is just those who have been killed. of course there are many who have been wounded. officials believe the number could be as many as three times the number of troops who have been killed. anderson. >> ukraine also said that it lost communication with chernobyl nuclear plant. are there any updates on the situation there? >> this is obviously very troubling. when you're talking about the at the us of nuclear power plants in a war zone, that is going to raise a lot of fears. ukraine right now is accusing russia of coming up with what they call a terrorist incident at this chernobyl nuclear power plant to then be able to blame it on ukraine. there is no evidence of that. but we understan

the u.s. expresses skepticism as russia pledges to scale back military. . operation around kyiv plus the great blockchain robbery. hackers steal $600 billion in one of the biggest. crypto heists ever. . that recessionary signal briefly flashing with the two and 10 curve invert a. it is back this morning. but the debate rages on how strong a recessionary signal this is. pimco says it may not be the most reliable one. jeffrey gundlach says. i will leave this to the pros because there are lots of sides you can take. one thing i will point out is clear divergence is, dislocations, in this market, as we fear a recession. stocks are holding up, specifically if you look at the volatility markets, we have a chart for this. you are looking at a move index of bond volatility which continues to go even higher. the blue is the vix. the vix has been in decline. bank of america warns this is a bear market trap. that in the past when we have seen this level of dislocation which is near record, we have seen t

the u.s. military disappeared, the afghan economy predictably collapsed. 75% of the afghan government budget came from foreign donors and that was rightfully held back in august to prevent it from going to the taliban. no country can cope with the loss of 75% of public sector support overnight, especially one that was already in dire straits. in this moment of crisis, the organizations on the ground are racing to scale up the humanitarian response. the u.n. released an appeal to international donors for $4.4 billion to meet the q-tip -- emitted terry and need in afghanistan. this is the largest single u.n. -- single country u.n. appeal in history and that tells you something about the scale of the crisis. it's larger than what we see in syria or yemen or ethiopia. i support the decision to dedicate an additional $308 million to humanitarian aid in afghanistan. that money is going to save lives. congress should authorize more. the humanitarian cannot be expected to do it all. they will do every

the u.s. congress where he will is expected to repeat calls for more military reinforcement and a no-fly zone. on tuesday, the prime ministers of poland, slovenia, and the czech republic held a joining -- a joint news conference with zelensky in kyiv. this is czech prime minister petr fiala. >> fighting for lives, your country, for freedom. we know we are also fighting for our lives and our freedom. main goal of our visit or main message of our mission is to say you are not alone. our countries stand with you. europe stands with your country. amy: ukraine's capital is now under a curfew as russia continues to bomb residential areas. earlier today, russian forces shelled a 12-story apartment building in kyiv. ukraine's other cities also remain under attack or russian occupation. on tuesday, survivors of a russian airstrike on a residential block in kharkiv were evacuated by rescue workers. >> brotherly nation, my mother comes from warsaw. how could this monster,, my god, monster, come up with s

as the use u.s. in a position to identify the hat? >> it's a really good question but first i would to lift up fbi, nsa also highlighted security measures u.s. companies can put in place to protect against exactly that kind of attack. we have not yet attributed that attack were carefully looking at it because the impact not only in ukraine, but also satellite communication systems in europe as well. >> the attack perhaps the timing suggest quick those are certainly factors we are look at carefully as we look at who was responsible for them. reporter: revolving intelligence. [inaudible] can you explain that what you're seeing right now the precipitated this today and what it may be now compared to. [inaudible] >> absently the first part of that is you have seen the ministration continuously lead forward and share fragmentary pieces of information we have two drive in ensure maximum preparedness by the maximum sector soon as we learned about that last week we hosted classified briefings with companies and sectors we felt would most be a

the u.s. was caught off guard b this will thing and the release by poland and said that is not tenable to do that from u.s. hands to ukrainian fighters. there is a question about what happens. whether this was a move by poland to kind of call out the u.s. a little in her ally back and forth there, the bottom line is zelenskyy would like to have more of these because this guys are still not controlled by the russians, they are still open. to defend themselves in the air that's why they keep on calling for no-fly zones. >> president biden blaming vladimir putin for the u.s. gasoline prices soaring into record territory tuesday. critics pointing to the rise in prices saying it started months ago. good evening, matt. >> good evening, shannon. on tuesday president biden announced the u.s. is cutting off russian oil imports and warned as a result our already record high gas prices are goin to increase even more. electric vehicles and winterizing homes is the only way to guarantee people like vladimi

what do you make of the appetite for u.s. debt? >> the appetite for u.s. debt in the long end of the treasury market has been strong, especially recently as we so -- as we have seen that flight to quality, alignment with u.s. asset classes. over the course of the year, as we see robust inflation prints and the fed continuing to march down a path to tighten policy, that the long end of the treasury yield curve will continue to see some uplift. we have a 2.25 percent 10 year forecast by the end of this year. that's still relatively low from a long-term perspective, indicating they are is still good global demand for fixed income and relatively high quality asset classes but i think we are going to continue to see this shifting away from low yielding fixed income into other parts of the market, especially as we get clarity on russia-ukraine and the broader fundamental trajectory for the global economy. >> what do you expect from the fed --, you know, overnight, we had headlines from jeff good lock, who said inflation could hit 10% end of year. larry fink warn

the u.s. has managed to get a hold of, saying indications are vladimir putin is misled by his military leadership in terms of how he was able to prepare and conduct the war in ukraine. the intelligence essentially suggesting his advisers are afraid to tell him the truth. according to the white house, pointing to growing tensions when it comes to the russian leadership and military, in the meantime, of course, as you mentioned earlier, russia saying it will push forward when it comes to completing that takeover of the eastern region. >> they are regrouping forces in ukraine to target that region, and this, after moscow pledged to de-escalate operations near the capital p or for more analysis, let's bring in our little news director. what is the latest on the ground right now? >> so what we are hearing and what the white house is telling us is that they are making progress in the region in the east. that is where russian troops are focusing trying to take over, that they have scaled back in the

the u.s. government has declared that members of the russian armed forces have committed war crimes in ukraine according to new statements from secretary of state blinken. now to alex at the state department. what more does the statement say, alex? >> well, don, this is hugely significant. we have heard president biden in the past few days call president putin a war criminal. we've heard some of president biden's top deputies here at the state department say they personally believe that russia was committing war crimes and now it is official. the u.s. government, the biden administration is saying that russian forces in ukraine are carrying out war crimes. this comes from a statement from secretary of state blinken who is on that flight with president biden about to land in brussels for that nato summit. and part of the statement reads that we have seen numerous credible reports of indiscriminate attacks and attacks deliberately targeting civilians as well as other atrocities. russia's forces

but i cannot see u.s. a warplanes flying over ukraine the confliction zone but with the various russian warplanes you cranium warplanes flying it is a pretty chaotic environment. i have not heard of any serious plans here at the pentagon to set up such a quarter but i do know the diplomats are trying to explore such an option for. >> alright jennifer griffin griffin at the pentagon thanks so much. >> more than ukraine refugees fleeing the country's russian forces shout major ukrainian cities with many of them flowing across poland's a border in search of safety. alex hogan is alive in poland with more details hello alex. >> hi mike this is poland where a makeshift refugee center has been made inside of a massive warehouse. people are bumped in and when they find out somewhere where they can go they bus dicey people are holding up their children think i want to get on this bus. there are no tickets at all for sale part every seat is free it is all hands on deck trying to get these people anywhere to safety

u.s. drone strikes conducted over the past two decades, including the authorization for the use of military force after the september 11 terrorist attacks. this is an hour and 45 minutes. >> welcome. the hearing will come to order. in april of 2013 i held the senate's first and to date the only hearing on the nation's use of drone strikes to lethally target suspected terrorists overseas. at the time i was troubled by stories of innocent people being killed by these strikes. mr. durbin: as well as the potential for these strikes to violate the law and undermine our national security. with very little transparency and accountability. in the years since that hearing, the watchdog group estimates that as many as 10,000 to 30,000 more civilians have been killed by u.s. coalition strikes. these are not just numbers, these are real people. they include a little girl, 11 years old, in a new purple dress, sitting down to dinner with her family. a wife as she slept next to her husband. a young boy p

the u.s. did. banned all u.s. transactions by individuals, by businesses having anything to do with russia's central bank. remember, russia has a total of about 630 billion foreign reserves in central banks around the world. if they cannot get their hands on those, then how can they -- that is the problem. the treasury department made it very clear, they are doing it for a specific reason. as janet yellen said, they want to limit russia's ability to -- they want to immobilize any bank of russia assets held in the u.s. so this is clearly these -- clearly stepping dissensions up again. many are skeptical on how effective they will be in terms of stopping vladimir putin, they are certainly exacting pain. that is something the russian government is feeling pressure from. rishaad: the beijing administration is treading very carefully on this. a tight well for them. tell us -- a tightwalk for them. what are we hearing from the pboc if anything on this? kathleen: so far we are not hearing much. we know that everyone is l

the u.s. has been concerned given that there has been in the past xi jinping and vladimir putin having warm relations and president putin went to the olympics before the invasion. the u.s. is trying to suss out where china stands and at the same time, trying to push to get china to try to compel vladimir putin to leave ukraine or take steps to push back, to pull back on the war. we will see how significant that is. this comes as you mentioned the pentagon information agency has come out with a new 67 page threat assessment and basically it says president putin is likely to increase the rhetoric, to escalate this nuclear rhetoric if the war continues. if the ukrainian resistance continues, they say he is almost certain to use nuclear threats and to escalate the rhetoric around those threats. that is something that is somewhat chilling that comes as a backdrop to this key phone call that will be held tomorrow morning washington time. haidi: also key is the interest payment. we have been watching

now, when you talk to u.s. officials, they make clear they know things are going to get worse before they get better. they expect a very bloody escalation in the days ahead and there's nobody at the white house or in the biden administration who believes that if russia goes all in that there's much that the ukrainians can do to stop them in the end. however, everyone here at the white house acknowledges what they've seen from zelenskyy, what they've seen from the russian military has gone far beyond their expectations in terms of efficiency, proficiency, and also courage. something that gives them hope and at least provides what has been the underpinning of the resolute response from the west. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. >>> well, the peace and quiet of a ukrainian village has been shattered by russian airstrikes. we'll show you what's left of a town many had continued a refuge. that's when we come back. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks can be a real chahallenge. that's why i use the f

it u.s. government ready for russia can or may unleash, then we'll talk about whether or not private entities or state into leak local governments are prepared, u.s. government are they ready. >> well u.s. government we have best cyber offending capability. we could impact with no issue, but then you are at risk of bee attacked yourself, and cyber defense capabilities of united states are not where they should be, we have under invested for at least 15 years now, in cyber defense. what you will see is department of homeland security with a new urgency cyber and infrastructure security not capable of protectingez organizations and the critical infrastructure organizations as well. at the end of the day, what you will look at with staying local for second part of the question, really, is the organizationsy having to rely on private sector to defend their systems. >> nicholas thank you for your expertise and your service to the country and thank you for joining us on this sunday night. >> thank

>> what the u.s. should be doing is what we are doing, supplying ukrainians with as much as we possibly can, munitions like antitank javelin missiles, anti-air stinger missiles. i think we should also be trying to get them more of the planes that they know how to fly, migs from eastern europe, that could enable them to be much more effective in protecting the skies, but also going after this tank column. there's nothing more vulnerable than a tank column sitting there massed together. >> you're talking about this convoy. here it is. this is a 40-mile-long russian military convoy. here is the map of kyiv right here, and i guess the question is, here is this convoy, it's huge. what do you think they're going to do? are they going to surround kyiv? >> i think they're going to try to surround kyiv and create a siege of kyiv and to try to seize the government or capture and kill zelenskyy. this is very vulnerable. when it's stack tick here, i think the russians have been -- you've seen the inn yeahs be far

the investments in the u.s. and u.s. exports to singapore support over a quarter million american jobs. on the defense frowned, it is a major security cooperation partner of the u.s. in fact the only country with this. more than 30 years we've had the defense cooperation in 1990 and recently renewed in 2019 which has provided the u.s. military access to the naval bases. we are also expanding the cooperation into new areas for the digital economy, sustainable development and even space. singapore deeply appreciates the leadership and strengthening u.s. engagement in the region. we welcome the intention to host the special summit soon. it's a strong affirmation of the american commitment to southeast asia. we discussed the importance of the strategic and economic states in the asia-pacific. it's important to advance the agenda that's open, inclusive, up-to-date and flexible. we therefore welcome america's proposed indo pacific economic framework which would strengthen america's engagement in the regional economic architect

shery: u.s. futures at the moment are gaining a little bit of ground after equities pushed lower in the new york session. that jump with rising fears about how that might complicate the fed's outlook. and look at wti crude past seven dollars a barrel. we haven't seen a surge of 100 five cents 2014. there was a release of -- 105 since 2014. we are watching treasury futures because we have the 10 year yield seeing a four-day drop, the biggest since december and going toward the 170 level. this all concerns on what is happening with ukraine and how that can affect the global economy. there are signs that russia's invasion of ukraine is entering a new, more deadly phase with more firepower. that is adding to the list of challenges u.s. president joe biden must tackle in his state of the union address. for more on all of this, let's bring in our political news director george schneider. and chief asian correspondent stephen engle. we are now expecting more violence in ukraine given how russia has been

the u.s. embassy urging people within the city of kyiv to try and get out now. >> that's right, amen. the russians have intensified their attack on this country. it has started in the east of the country. they're now in the center of the country, in dnipro, which runs on the dnipro river which splits the country into. there is also much further west, closer to where we are inside lviv, hitting two major towns there that have airports and facilities. so obviously, the u.s. is worried about u.s. nationals that are still in this country. and there are broad spectrum of them here. there are people who are mauricio gradients. there are people that have come to help the aid effort, the military effort. they are spread across the country. i'm not sure about the numbers and all of this commercial, and they're being told to leave, as the situation escalates here. and more and more displaced people are flooding into lviv, where we are. and of course, the eastern cities of this country are just being bru

the u.s. this week down the lowest level since 1969. it looks like the economy is holding up even as inflation rises and the fed gets ready to hike rates. haidi: president biden is in brussels for high-level meetings over the war in ukraine. he is calling for russia to be removed from the g20. >> my answer is yes. it depends on the g20. that was raised today. i raised the possibility that if it can be done, if indonesia and others don't agree, then we should in my view have to have both ukraine be able to attend the meetings. haidi: let's bring in our white house correspondent who joins us now. what did we hear in these discussions particularly pertaining to our next round of actions against moscow and also some kind of protection for the eu against ramifications of these actions? >> first, we had more sanctions put in place on russia from the united states. this after individuals, most notably the head of russia's biggest bank. the entire state duma, this is russia's parliament, they are all

the u.s. and allies. they're also paying very close attention to the chinese appearing to endorse russian disinformation campaigns both online and in the media. the white house officials say while beijing has tried to appear neutral at least on the world stage, domestic media coverage is siding with russia, and beijing is seemingly endorsing russian claims that the u.s. has developed chemical weapons in ukraine which, of course, is not true. the u.s. says that is an indicator a that russia might be planning a chemical weapons attack. all of this is ratcheting up questions about what the u.s. and nato would do in the event of an attack of that nature, a chemical weapons attack. ukraine's foreign minister says ukrainians have already suffered attacks by internationally-prohibited weapons like cluster bombs and vacuum bombs. this country is not expecting direct help, boots on the ground, from the u.s. and nato. >> you're asking me whether nato will defend us, well, we do not expect that. what we

but what the u.s. navy is now doing and kayna whitworth is with them. >> reporter: we are heading to the front lines of what's been called a very cold war. here in the arctic, where temperatures hover around negative 20 degrees, the u.s. navy is conducting three weeks of drills, with a sharp eye on nearby russia. they've set up camp on an ice flow 160 miles away from land. but the real action is underwater. so here it is, the "uss pasadena" has just come up through the arctic ice. you can see sort of the front of it right there and this part is coming up all the way through the ice. that's our ride. the "pasadena" is one of two attack submarines in the region. it has a steel reinforced sail, allowing it to punch up through arctic ice as thick as five feet or more. >> welcome aboard! >> reporter: all right, let's go. below the surface, the navy trains to find and evade enemy subs. >> there's a lot of people who would like to hide from the u.s. submarine force. i just say, they're not very successful. >>

and therefore, the u.s. commitment to provide the european union with additional, at least 15 billion cubic meters of lng this year, is a big step, because this will replace the lng supply we currently receive from russia. and looking ahead, the united states and europe will ensure stable demand and supply for an additional at least 50 billion cubic meters of u.s. lng until 2030, and if we look at that, this amount, 50 billion cubic meters per year, is replacing one third already of the russian gas going to europe today, so we are right on track now to diversify away from russian gas and towards our friends and partners, reliable and trustworthy suppliers. we need to secure our supplies not just for next winter but also for the years ahead, and this is an important and big starting point to do that. our partnership aims to sustain us through this war, to work on our independence from russian fossil fuels, but it also focuses on building a greener future with climate neutrality. we will work together, and the

u.s. official. the official says russia is moving troops into ukraine from georgia as reenforcement and the uk defense ministry says ukraine's forces have taken major positions. >> reporter: in the last hour, the president of the united states, joe biden, landed here in warsaw. tomorrow he will meet with ukrainian refugees taking shelter here in the polish capital and delivering what the white house calls major speech on russia's invasion of ukraine. earlier today president biden met with the polish president near the polish-ukraine border. he also met with u.s. soldiers from the 82nd airborne division who have been deployed ed polans part of nato. the stakes of the ukraine war go well beyond its borders. biden is pledging a more humanitarian and military aid for the region. tomorrow he will meet face-to-face with a few of the more than two ukrainian refugee who is have wound up here in poland in the last month. he will deliver what the white house describes as this major address. phil mat

u.s. economy can handle tighter policy, but a flatter yield curve suggests otherwise. and russia says a neutral ukraine with its own army is a possible compromise, while kyiv pushes for security guarantees. the u.s. promising more military aid. haidi: of course a positive lead when it comes to wall street's reaction to fed chair powell's carefully calibrated statement, really reinforcing his view that the u.s. economy is resilient. we're expecting to see maybe a little more turbulence, but certainly some upside pressures for equities. we are seeing .4% higher out of the gate when it comes to trading in australia. we have seen those moves following what we saw in treasuries overnight when it comes to australia and new zealand. bond yields across the shorter end and the longer end of that curve, as we have treasury yield flattening. that is still where we are seeing some recessionary concerns. kiwi stocks up by 1.5%, despite gdp numbers for the end of last year coming in softer than expected

about three hours, the u.s. senate and the congressional ukraine caucus met virtually with the ukrainian president as they work on sending additional aid to ukraine. let's go to capitol hill. a very unusual meeting. so tell us what happened? >> reporter: our capitol hill team has steadily gotten a flood of reaction from some of the hundreds of lawmakers who were on this call with ukrainian president zelenskyy. some of them even tweeting some photos from that meeting of zelenskyy who as we know was in hiding when he did this call that lasted nearly an hour. now, we know that the senate minority and majority leaders both spoke before a congressman who's actually on the front lines right now at the ukrainian polish border witnessing this humanitarian crisis firsthand. they say that zelenskyy praised president biden and the u.s. for the sanctions imposed so far, but made a very empathetic plea for more action, and i think we have a full screen here to lay out exactly what he's asking for. he's specifically asking fo

liz: the u.s. is dealing with problems in crime, we had an individual arrested, suspect in a stabbing at the metropolitan museum of art, a homeless career criminal through a seattle woman, 62 years old through her down a subway stairs and that the shooting spree of homeless people in d.c., a serial killer so that's going on. >> this is a predictable result of soft on crime rhetoric and soft on crime policies and we've seen this over the country with defense, we need to defend our police, not defund them and request call for major changes in law enforcement and make sure they have the tools they need to do their job. i rode around in lynn county with sheriff's deputies on monday, i saw firsthand the challenges they are facing and doing their jobs. it's about they are fighting to keep our communities safe and not only in our backyards but it's at the border. liz: if republicans take back control of congress, how are you going to push back on defund the police and border? >> given the resources they n

u.s. futures, stocks fell four out of five sessions. we have the risk off sentiment setting the dollar higher and bonds higher for the 10 year yield falling. we continue to watch for the treasury volatility, which climbed to the highest in almost 10 years. this is going to just continue to exacerbate the impact on the broader commodities space as we also are watching for those prices that are setting a new highs. haidi: regardless of what you are seeing, metal, oil, there is so much inflationary pressure being compounded by the conflict in ukraine. this is what we see when it comes to the equities trading session. a frenzy, we do see they were in ukraine overshadowing the stronger-than-expected jump in the u.s. report on friday. quite a bit of volatility at the start of trading here in sydney. we have seen of the market held up pretty well considering it has only fallen for one of the past seven sessions. a lot of those commodities have done quite well. agl energy is when we are watching a

the u.s. house of representatives, he was leading historic battle for the approval of the pipeline. he was honored in 1973 as freshman congressman of the year. kevin mccarthy, the republican leader of the house, said don young was a giant with a spirit as strong as the alaskan wild. his absence will leave congress less colorful and punctual, but his decades of service filled every room and touched every member. anne and his children have my deepest sympathies. finally, representative ruth westerman, saying i'm heartbroken to hear of his passing. he was an incredible public servant, brilliant legislator, a mentor and friend tall and will be dearly missed -- friend to all and will be dearly missed. the passing of representative don young happened yesterday. we are taking your calls about is the u.s. providing enough support for ukraine. we will start -- and here are the numbers on your screen. if you say yes, (202) 748-8000. if you say no, (202) 748-8001. texts can come in at (202) 748-8003. we
