| 0:00.0 | The weather. Tomorrow, expect a biting cold front. Hmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be |
| 0:06.8 | wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain |
| 0:13.0 | that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise slowly but surely reaching |
| 0:18.7 | their peak in the afternoon. Not in the mood for miserable weather. |
| 0:23.5 | Fly cheaply to Turkey with Sun Express. Sun Express, nonstop sunshine. Good morning. Hope you're |
| 0:30.8 | after a great Monday morning wherever you are, whenever you're watching this, it's already shaping up to be a |
| 0:35.2 | pretty busy newsweek. So I thought I would jump on, give you a couple news items to have on your radar, crazy hair and all, have a little coffee together. We'll get you ready. We'll get you set up for the week ahead because there are a bunch of news stories to watch and it's also going to be an historic week in many ways. So first thing to watch is President Biden is going to be traveling to Europe. Over the last several weeks, as we've watched |
| 0:54.2 | this developing story of Russia's war in Ukraine, we've seen high-profile members of the president's |
| 0:59.6 | cabinet, like the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense, visit our European allies. |

| 1:17.2 | is going to be making a stop in Poland. Poland is really critical in many ways to this story, |
| 1:23.7 | not only as a strategic NATO ally in a large country that's along the border of |
| 1:29.7 | Ukraine with strategic position as well with Russia. But Poland has really bore the brunt of the |
| 1:35.8 | humanitarian crisis of this war. More than 2 million people have flooded into Poland. And just |
| 1:41.3 | think about that for a second. Think about if 2 million plus Canadians suddenly flooded in three weeks' time into Poland. And just think about that for a second. Think about if two million plus Canadians |
| 1:44.6 | suddenly flooded in three weeks' time into Michigan. What sort of resources it would take to |
| 1:50.1 | support these people in the right way. And so Poland is really the center of that at this very moment. |
| 1:57.2 | The United Nations says one out of four people. So think about this right now. One out of four |
| 2:00.9 | your friends had to relocate. One out of four Ukrainians had to relocate whether inside the |
| 2:07.7 | country or outside the country because of this war. And so one of the big questions we've been |
