And two, we will stay united with our nato allies. earlier this week i spoke with my polish counterpart. yesterday i spoke with my romanian counterpart, and this morning i had two very good conversations with my counterparts in france and germany. as we have made clear, in addition to the significant economic and diplomatic costs that russia will incur, a move on ukraine will accomplish the very thing russia says it does not want, a nato alliance strengthened and resolved on its western flank. u...

Light. as a general assumption right now but _ light. as a general assumption right now but automatic- right now but automatic emergency braking or collision avoidance hearings for systems solve _ avoidance hearings for systems solve problems and because of the reality is the opposite, peorfle _ the reality is the opposite, people still get into accidents all the — people still get into accidents all the time, despite substantial majority of new vehicles being produced with assisted driving c...

Ambassador to the united states, dame karen pierce. thanks for taking the time this morning. >> thanks very much for inviting me. >> despite these talks this morning, i hear from speaking to u.s. officials a fair amount of pessimism about russian intentions. and i wonder what the uk view is this morning. does the uk believe russia will invade ukraine? >> its not that we believe russia definitely will invade. its the risk that she does is extremely high. im a firm believer in capabilities, not in...

What exactly is going on and we firstly need to upgrade our capabilities to weed out those people that may be trying to cause us harm in this way, trying to advance a story, manipulate or influence us in this way. just to run something past you that is breaking as we record today at 20 past five in the evening, we are hearing that prince andrew is being stripped of his various military titles and indeed losing the hrh title as well. given your role on the defence select committee, your previous ...

When we were talking about afghanistan nobody anticipated the collapse of the afghan government. nobody in the pentagon. not a politician, not republican or democratic. we knew that wasnt true. and we knew they were ill prepared and we knew the president order and pushbacked from the generals and knew it was going to be a disaster. they didnt anticipate it being this quick, perhaps. did you, but, again, look at this report. the a.p. shows that this report, although its very late and now reveals ...

Under united states code title 42 sections 1t 74, 1 t 74 e. item five says quote the secretary of defense may select by name or unit federalization of appropriate national guard support. now, again, if the language -- this time calling for the military seizure of voting machines -- ripgs a bell, well listen to this from december 17th. >> he could immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these machines around the country on his order. he could also order -- he could order the -- the -...

This is about the secretary wanting to get ahead of the potential activation and making sure that these units have the time to prepare if and only if they are deployed. and you had -- when we know success, again, theres been no activation, so no mission assigned. difficult to give you an up-check or down-check on what equates success. what this is about, though, reassurance to our nato allies and we have been talking about that for quite some time, that we are going to be ready, we are going to ...

Engage in cyberactivity of this kind. this was a relatively sophisticated attack. we dont think some of the claims made on the website about all the data getting grabbed and leaked and so forth have borne out yet so were still getting to the bottom of it. >> the former ukrainian defense minister wrote in an op-ed for the atlantic council this week that, quote, given the right equipment and tacts ukraine can dramatically reduce the chances of a successful invasion, unquote. at what point is the b...

Mission is accomplished? >> yeah, so, on capabilities, barb, i touched this in the opening statement. again, when we are able to identify the units for you well do that. the reason i dont have specific units today is because the units are being notified as well as family members and i think you can understand we would not want to get ahead of the notification process. but broadly speaking, as i mentioned at the top, i mean, these would be additional brigade combat teams, logistics personnel, med...

Without power, this is a potentially serious situation. south korea and japan have reported another north korean ballistic missile launch off its east coast, the seventh missile test in the space of a month. pyongyang has not tested its long—range intercontinental ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons for nearly five years, but has instead launched a wide array of sophisticated shorter range projectiles, including hypersonic and cruise missiles. the countrys leader, kimjong—un, called on the...
