We go to London to speak with writer and activist Tariq Ali about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's historic address to the British House of Commons, Russia's invasion and NATO expansion into Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, U.S. officials have reportedly traveled to Venezuela to discuss lifting sanctions and increasing imports of Venezuelan oil to make up for the oil shortage induced by new sanctions on Russia. "Further escalation, further armaments, pouring in weapons is going to make conditions worse, principally for people of Ukraine," says Ali.
