i am fred kemp, president and ceo of the atlantic council. on behalf of our cyber state, within this strategy and security, thank you for joining us. today's conversation comes at a perilous moment, the likes of which we have not seen since the end of the second world war. russia's invasion of ukraine, and the horrific kremlin-backed attacks on civilian targets across the country remind us of the fertility of the international system we have had for so many years, taken for granted. now, part of that system which is often overlooked is the maritime transportation system, or mts, which plays an outsized and usually quiet roll across the region. quiet until of course, they step into the picture. in 2017, the cyberattack debilitated a global shipping giant, inflicting on it millions of dollars of losses in just a few days, and billions of dollars globally. the covid-19 pandemic has disrupted supply chains, and revealed our dependence on the vast, interconnected system of international shipping. the mts forms informs the backbone of the world's i

cardin: john, thank you, thank you to the atlantic council. the work you do is critically important. we need to have more discussions about what mr. putin is doing in russia, the impact not just on ukraine, but on the security of europe and the u.s. joe, we very much appreciate this opportunity. the topic today is about will the u.s. again be the arsenal for democracy? -- today is about, will the u.s. again be the arsenal for democracy? the lend-lease legislation that is not going on to the president will help us answer that question by saying yes. thanks to the work of senator john cornyn, we have that legislation no available for the president sign it for us to be able to use it. it is a major step forward for the u.s. to be that arsenal of democracy. why? because it allows us to use our military equipment inventory to help ukraine. we can now make that available. the president can use the authority that he has under existing law and now under this act once he signs the bill, to streamline the process to make our military inventory availabil

today, the atlantic council has the distinct honor of hosting u.s. senator ben cardin of maryland and senator john cornyn of texas, leading voices in congress on lend-lease legislation for ukraine. both senators are two of the original cosponsors of the ukrainian democracy defense lend-lease act of 2022. that was the recently passed, -- that was recently passed unanimously by the senate. the bill harkens back to president franklin delano roosevelt's world war ii area -- world war ii area lend-lease policy that help the allies defeat nazi germany. if signed into law by president biden, the bill will allow the united states to send more quickly weapons and supplies to ukraine so it can better defend itself against russia. helping you create defeat putin is a smart way to defend our baltic nato allies from his revisionist objectives and blatant, brutal aggression, as we have witnessed. gentlemen, thank you for your work on this crucial legislation and also, thank you for taking time to join us this morning. like many of you, i have been closely followin

reporter: i would also like to refer back to the speech you give at the atlantic council, in which you set the world's attitude towards china and its willingness to embrace further economic integration may be affected by china's reaction to our call for resolute action on russia. i'm wondering, if china is judged to not be contributing to this resolute action on russia, can you be clearer or more specific about what exactly you are proposing the u.s. and its allies would or should do with respect to china? sec. yellen: so, i don't mean to be making any specific proposals . i didn't have anything specific in mind. but this is the time when those who are in favor of the core institutions in the global system and core set of values are standing together to address threats to that system. tension has been a part of it. -- china has been a part of it, and china has benefited from that system, and over decades wanted to participate in the system. i simply think that not only the united states, but many countries want to see china show that it understands the threats that the global system fa

we have pulled in some atlantic air behind an area of low pressure that is now heading across towards scandinavia. quite a breeze for this afternoon, we will keep a lot of cloud, but there are signs we will get breaks towards the south coast, southern corn will come around torbay, the brecon is and the pennines. western coastal hills generally staying pretty solidly overcast with further outbreaks of rain. mild, temperatures 12 to 14 degrees. this evening and overnight, we hold on to plenty of cloud. it will make for a mild night for the majority of the uk with temperatures staying in double figures. wetter weather for northern ireland and southern scotland. notice to the north of scotland, double figures to the south across england and wales, northern scotland come across developing with cold arctic air sitting to the far north of the uk at the moment and it looks like that will combine with some of the moisture on tuesday to bring some very heavy snowfall to the highlands and the grampians. persistent snowfall as well lasting a good part of tuesday into wednesday. central belt south

that attack made a mistake, but even more important, there is article one, article, one of the north atlantic treaty states that nato will not resolve any conflicts at all with anybody. 5 but other than by peaceful means, in other words, it's simply not, you know, jaws using force against any other state. so when we think about what nato has been doing in ukraine for a long time, that cannot be described as trying to resolve problems by peaceful means. nato has been very actively involved in ukraine using force arms against russia. ok, so this isn't in a country that is not a member of nato against another country. that is not a member of the state of nature. so once you violated article one, you can't then turn around and start invoking article 5. so, you know, if for finland, let's say what to become a member of nato and would say, you know, we got to want to some of that territory back like to really, you know, we'd like it back, you know, styling to get away from us. and we'd like it back and then start making trouble. busy and then if russia responds fmla things we're going to go by, i m

this milder and wetter weather tends to come from the atlantic where the storms develop so that does start to suggest that winter stormy periods are becoming more frequent in the future. also, there is research into certain types of storms, and in particular the kind that can give us our very strongest winds of all, and it looks like these as well may become more frequent in the long term. more explosive cyclogenesis now, and this time with a snowstorm that slammed into the north—east usa injanuary, giving boston its joint snowiest day on record. parts of northern japan had their snowiest january, the city of sapporo saw more than 60 centimetres in 2a hours, the snowiest day in records going back more than 20 years. not the normal view of a greek island but this is naxos injanuary. even in a warming world, there will be bouts of severe winter weather. europe overall had a warmer than average winter. the same storm that hit greece swept across the middle east. this is aley on mount lebanon, uphill from beirut. but it is the lack of ice in antarctica which has been attracting attenti
