jeremy, go ahead. i think it is a longstanding project going, going back to 990 in the fathers of the union that the united states has seen the opportunity to just branch power and influence in that region of the world and to try and weaken russia and ukraine is kind of key key prize and the u. s. has invest in something like, you know, just in a bind administration. $275000000.00 in defense are spending towards ukraine. and it's senior, the conflict seems to be re, re igniting in the, in eastern ukraine. so i think at the u. s. is heavily invest in ukraine and the project of nato expansions. and he said that, you know, the goal is to weaken russia, prevent the ro, resurgence of russian empire. and to dominate that region of the world and control the resource, including the oil and gas resource of central asia. ok, well, or is we already heard from nikolai, we heard from jeremy. so it's all about russia. it's not about ukraine because that's what we keep getting all over again. i mean, i find this real

jeremy, go ahead react. oh, as you suggest yeah, the us doesn't really have the best interest of the cranes at heart. so they're not really pushing for that. you know, solution that within this conflict and, you know, i think part of them it's record offers lago autonomy to the eastern provinces. and that would, you know, wed them more towards russia. and that may be something that ukrainian government and united states doesn't want. and maybe they want an opportunity to kind of this is the opportunity to strike a blow at russia. so they want to sustain the conflict. i mean, that might be a cynical interpretation, but there's, i think, grounds for that system. well, jeremy, i think there's a whole lot of cynicism going off near. i'm glad you mentioned it, earned the same question too, because this is a way out here. we had to push ankle government to pay lip service to it. and then the lensky running for president paid lip service, who and then it suddenly disappears into the ether here. but this is the way

jeremy, your thoughts? yeah, i think you make summit point sir, i mean, you know, i think we have to go back to 2014 and you know, i think opened up this pandora's box and you know, the, the interference by outside powers it's, you know, has kind of created this real massey situation that's will be difficult to resolve a sh, but i mean, i think ultimately, you know, i mean there is hope that you know, the men's record would. i would solve the situation. but i agree with what you're saying. i mean, i think it's and then you know, you have these extreme nationalists who seem to be dom name, ukrainian government, it's not clear how far they would go so well young people tonight here and i say some jeanine nichol. i go ahead, jumping on federalism is not a danger for ukraine properly understood. federalism would be ukraine salvation if every region could determine it's local cultural policy as it wanted, it would feel great. her attachment to the center, this is the than it does now. of the problem is one creat

jeremy, what are we expecting to hear from the president this hour? >> reporter: right now, president biden is in the oval office with his coronavirus advisory team. they are briefing him on this omicron variant, briefing that the president has been receiving daily. when he comes out later this hour to speak, he'll talk about what we do know and don't know about the variant and he'll be urging the public against panicking here. we do expect the president to instead urge americans that now is the time, if you haven't yet, to get vaccinated and get your booster shot if you are fully vaccinated and eligible for that third shot. so that is the message we'll hear from the president. he's going to try and show that he is on top of this situation while at the same time urging americans not to panic. we do know that it is very clear that it will take a week to two weeks before we know exactly the impact of this variant, and that's something that the president is going to outline today. >> we'll take the president live when he comes to cameras to speak. >>> in

jeremy, what is the word from the white house about this meeting? >> reporter: olymlisten, a seni administration official describing this as a healthy debate between the leaders and an opportunity to talk about the areas of agreement, areas of disagreement, most importantly, and also for president biden, as you just heard there, to make very clear how he sees the u.s.-china relationship. one of competition but not one that will devolve into outright conflict. that was a key part here. president biden talking about the need to establish guardrails in the u.s.-china relationship. although, this meeting didn't produce those guardrails or any breakthroughs, nor, frankly, were any expected based on how senior officials were describing the plans for this meeting ahead of time. but a range of issues, as you see there on the screen, being discussed. everything from the tensions over taiwan to human rights issues that president biden made clear he was going to raise with president xi, as well as also potential areas of cooperation on climate change, for exam

jeremy diamond is with us in the white house. jeremy? >> there is a lot of soul searching after the vote last night. the president returning in the wee hours of the morning, but the mood aboard air force one last night was grim as they tu returned to the news that glenn youngkin won in virginia that president biden had won by ten points. the biden administration is trying to move forward, others pointing to economic woes and a pandemic that has gone on longer than expected. one thing is clear, the president was not expecting this. >> i think we're going to win in virginia. i don't believe, and i've not seen any evidence whether or not i am doing well or poorly, whether or not i've got my agenda passed or not is going to have any real impact on winning or losing. >> reporter: and whether or not the president wanted to make a connection between his agenda and that race yesterday, democrats this morning certainly making a connection between now and the midterms next year. certainly this is going to light a fire under people at the white hou

jeremy, what are you hearing from there today about all of it? because so much is still unknown. >> reporter: listen, coronavirus is right back at the center of activity here at the west wing of the white house. we know officials are working to put together the finishing touches on that strategy that we're expected to hear president biden outline on thursday for how the united states is going to fight the coronavirus this winter. listen to the president talking about that yesterday. >> thursday i'll be putting forward a detailed strategy outlining how we're going to fight covid this winter, not with shutdowns or lockdowns, but with more widespread vaccinations, boosters, testing, and more. >> reporter: you hear the president there emphasizing the fact that he is not looking to do additional shutdowns or lockdowns. instead, it will be doubling down on what we've seen from this administration so far. vaccinations, boosters, testing. we heard the president talk about that yesterday. even as the united states waits for the next week or two to learn m

she is there with a big band-aid, jeremy. >> reporter: yeah no doubt about it. look, president biden did the first step here in meeting with president emmanuel macron on the sidelines of the g20 in rome a couple of weeks ago. now step two is also crucial. that's where vice president harris comes in. she's going to be spending five days here in paris, including a bilateral meeting with the french president, participating in a forum that is a priority for the french president as well, delivering remarks, participating in armistice day events, all of this intended to highlight the long and deep bonds between the united states and france, and to make clear to the french government that the u.s./french relationship is indeed a priority to the administration, following that submarine dustup a couple of months ago. there is no question the french president is looking to squeeze every ounce of juice out of that dustup as he possibly can, and french officials have told me that they are looking for concrete actions to improve the u.s./french relationship beyond just the r

>> jeremy diamond and athena jones, thank you for your reporting. joining me to discuss admiral brett giroir, he led the federal government's covid-19 testing response under the trump administration. good to have you with us this morning. as we look at where we're at, the message from president biden yesterday, be concerned, but it is not a moment to panic. do you agree with that tone and that message? >> i do agree with that tone and that message. we should be concerned because the number of mutations on omicron, but we should not panic. our testing still works perfectly. it is very likely that our vaccines will provide some immune protection. and i agree it is very important to top off your tank, top off your immune tank by getting that booster, independent of omicron, it is very important to get it just for delta. third, we have new oral medications that are up to the fda today that will be completely effective against omicron as they are against the others. so we have a lot more to learn. we should be concerned, but we should not be panicked. >>

jeremy diamond is outfront live outside the white house and, jeremy, how concerned is the president and the white house about what happened last night? i mean, this was a big blow. >> yeah, no doubt about it. listen, erin, here at the white house and democratic circles, there is been a lot of soul searching today among those democrats and including some white house advisers who see warning signs here for the midterms. but we didn't necessarily hear any of that soul searching from the president, himself. instead, what we heard from the president. he did not take responsibility for mcauliffe's loss in virginia and -- but what he did say was that maybe -- just maybe -- passing his agenda before that election could have made a difference. but he did not sound sure about it. what he did sound sure about is what needs to be done, going forward. between now and the midterms next year. the president talking about the need for action. the need for results. making clear that passing his agenda is important and ultimately saying that he believes that changing things like the economy, like covid, a

in fact, jeremy's call been a british labor leader at that time was criticized for attacking the coo. well, you know, in bolivia we have 38 people dead in 2019 there are responsible for that. and there, you know, deep in bolivia we are following it trials against those people that were involved in the program. and there are some are on jailing, you know, in a trial process, normal trial process. and the, what the people in believe it, when i was in campaign, asked to me to do it is justice. justice doesn't mean a persecution. it doesn't mean you know which hands whatever you want. know here the government of the quicker the government is coming from the could it? they say and supreme decree where they establish and they ask they are and they em, compulsory a says to the are here the army to go to the streets and go against the people that was in claiming for election chantelle and things like that. so i mean, something is that somebody is responsible for these and that's why they are trials in bolivia. so whatever they, they come to, you know, do a europe or a united states or whateve

is jeremy good enough for to, to address his controversial pasta? what happened but then that, that the holocaust and other atrocities as well. the 2nd level, the germany, germany did a lot. there's no question about it. germany did a lot on the other hand, you know, and place like wall street did nothing, for instance, you know, it's interesting. i just wrote for a upgraded history central. i was rewriting part of europe history. so i, i wrote one piece. i am the devastation of europe after world war 2. and then i wrote another piece on the various actions that were taken against both birth. people who participated where they were local citizens, paul's french, dutch. while those people are put on trial and many, the mex, a number of them executed, not the number of germans or x unit after world war 2 and a more people were executed and then possible. another project i've been working on is the history of the towns and villages in poland. and i do that and i say really, and when do we ever do enough? is it ever possible to do enough? i don't think

white house correspondent jeremy diamond has more. >> reporter: today vice president harris wrapping a five-day effort to revise the french/american relationship. >> it signals the enduring, the long-standing, and future alliance and commitment between the people of the united states and france and our governments. >> reporter: the trip, much of it spent alongside french president emmanuel macron was the latest measure to mend ties after the latest submarine plan with australia. the sub snub may have propelled harris to french capitol, but the vice president insisting the breach of trust was not on the agenda. >> i will tell you that was not the purpose of this trip and we didn't discuss it. what we did discuss is the issues that are challenging us and the issues that are the basis for this relationship and the strength and assurance of this relationship. >> reporter: there were two tangible agreements, expanded u.s. space cooperation and a u.s. decision to sign on to a french initiative setting rules of the road in cyber space. after a first foreign trip overshadowed by harris's han

and as cnn's jeremy diamond reports, it sets the stage for the midterms. >> reporter: well, there is certainly some soul searching even hand wringing at the white house on wednesday in the wake of democrats' big loss in the state of virginia. the democratic gubernatorial candidate terry mcauliffe losing to republican glenn youngkin, and some here at the white house and in democratic circles seeing warning signs for the midterms, which are just a year away. we did not see, though, that kind of soul searching from president biden on wednesday. he did not take responsibility for mcauliffe's loss in the state of virginia, although he did acknowledge that maybe, just maybe passing his agenda in congress before election day could have perhaps helped mcauliffe get over the top. again, this is a state that president biden won by ten points during the 2020 elections. but what the president did focus on is what democrats can do between now and the midterm elections, and that's getting things done. >> i do know that people want us to get things done. they want us to get things done. and that's

let's begin at the white house, jeremy diamond on the north lawn. president biden expected to speak in a few hours. do we know what his message will be? >> reporter: we expect president biden to address the american people after receiving his latest briefing on this omicron variant. president biden is expected to urge americans not to mpanic an he will make clear we'll learn more in the coming weeks. in the meantime what you will hear from president biden is making his latest plea for americans who are not yet vaccinated to get vaccinated, and for those who have gotten vaccinated and are eligible for a booster, meaning all americans six months after pfizer, moderna or two months after the johnson & johnson to get that booster. that is the best protection the president and his medical advisers say can be used now. president biden received a briefing yesterday as well on the variant, this is a statement that the white house released following that meeting. dr. fauci informed the president while it will take approximately two more weeks to have more de

jeremy diamond joins us from the white house. this was bipartisan in the senate and the house. will we see a bipartisan signing at the showing? >> we will. that is a rarity. senate republicans who helped pass this legislation are expected to attend, including lisa murkowski, susan collins and rob portman. you will not see every one of the 32 republican lawmakers in the senate and house who passed the legislation attending. mitch mcconnell is not expected to attend and bipartisan showing at the state and local level as well with governors and mayors of major american cities expected to attend to show just how popular this piece of legislation is, and indeed, that is the aim of the signing ceremony that you're going to be seeing today on the south lawn of the white house. president biden at a moment where he has faced sagging poll numbers, economic concerns in particular over inflation and rising gas prices, he is looking for a win, a political boost here, and that is exactly what the white house is aiming to do with this, as they look to highlight what is undoubtedly the central

jeremy diamond is traveling with the vice president and joins us live from paris. good morning. this is to nurse the french/american relationship back to health especially after the sub deal with australia. >> reporter: no doubt about it. listen, president biden already met with president macron on the side lines of the g20 just a couple weeks ago. step one of rebuilding and revitalizing that relationship has certainly already been accomplished. but now vice president harris is looking to take that a step further. that is why she arrived this morning here in paris for a five-day trip, which is pretty long when you consider the length of these kinds of diplomatic missions typically. a clear gesture to the french president emanuel macron as well as the french people that the united states cares deeply about the relationship with france and they do want to nurse it back to full health. but french officials have made very clear while they are moving on from that submarine deal that saw a french contract with australia sunk, essentially, that while they are moving on from that, they
