Tucker Carlson to interview Vladimir Putin in Moscow
CBSN
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson confirmed Tuesday that he will be interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin. He will be the first Western journalist to do so since the start of Moscow's invasion into Ukraine nearly three years ago.
In a statement posted to social media, Carlson said he will interview Putin "because it's our job. We're in journalism. Our duty is to inform people."
"Western governments will certainly do their best to censor this video. . . Because that's what they do," Carlson adds in the video.

As the Trump administration continues to prepare military options for strikes in Iran, U.S. allies in the Mideast, including Turkey, Oman and Qatar, are attempting to head off that possibility by brokering diplomatic talks, multiple regional officials told CBS News.

Another winter storm may be headed toward the East Coast of the United States this weekend, on the heels of a powerful and deadly system that blanketed huge swaths of the country in snow and ice. The effects of that original storm have lingered for many areas in its path, and will likely remain as repeated bouts of Arctic air plunge downward from Canada and drive temperatures below freezing.
