Kind of elegant plans that go along with all of that came online pretty quickly. the use of a nuclear weapon, even one now, would change the world. wed be living in a different phase in history ten seconds after the detonation no matter where it was used, no matter how large it was. the steps that bring us toward chaos where we end up thinking about having to engage in a strategic exchange because were so worried about being struck first, you know, those steps become pretty fast and pretty short...

Knew how to deal with this. you have an incident commander with 30 years in law enforcement allegedly whos directing officers not to follow their guidelines. maybe officers who were from another agency ultimately on scene decided that they didnt have the command structure there to go over the directives of this police chief, and so someone, many someones need to be held accountable. and while we havent heard from this police chief. i promise you hes somewhere right now putting his retirement pap...

We go and we go now? >> well, listen, the first officers on scene, that first reporting agency actually is supposed to set up the incident command structure that literally is the quarterback. theyre marshalling the coordination by multiple agencies responding, ems around reporting agencies to address this issue. what we sue he saw is officers were trying to push the public back. there was no communication going out we saw a breakdown of the incident and command structure. >> there are reports of...

Happen. thats the form of law. you sigh that everywhere. its a result of them not getting the public information under control, to come out now two days later the idea of getting out in prompted of sit is post now. the assistant deputy director did say one thing that i think is important here. this is a tiny, tiny community. a small town. so now the federal government has to look at how much training did this police department have? was the command structure that was there understanding of the e...

It was poignant. the borscht looked delicious. catch us up on whats happening. president zelenskyy is talking about donbas turning into hell. whats the latest? >> the russian troops in this country since the war began have suffered two very significant setbacks. they have had gains, taking control of mariupol. but they were pushed back dramatically, in a humiliating fashion from around kyiv and then recently they have been pushed back from the area of kharkiv where i am right now. now the russia...

A very tiny difference. there are elections. people, some people, are really hopeful that there will be change, even if its an incremental change. they think that some sort of a change, course of change has been set and it will take time, but it is going to happen. its inevitable that things will change. carine torbey speaking to me from beirut. vladimir putins war has been a pretty incompetent affair so far. poor intelligence, inadequate military planning, confused command structure, low morale...

You never know what can happen, what can change. but also we have a small margin where we can do something. the problem is whether wejust leave it until something happens that is much bigger than all of us or that we do, we take that baby step that we can take to make a very tiny difference. there are elections. people, some people, are really hopeful that there will be change, even if its an incremental change. they think that some sort of a change, course of change has been set and it will tak...

Theres been a form of military integration going on for some time. i mean, the systems are pretty closely aligned with the nato systems. but what would change immediately, in terms of the command structure, in terms of what happens at the border? nothing radical. so the biggest sort of upside for us is article 5 — collective defence. the biggest upside for nato is a reserve of 900,000 men, mobilisation of 280,000, 62 fat and 64 f355 and a very strong artillery. so its very much a win—win pro...

The nato strategy is nato unity, as you said, don, you know, she was going to revisit the question of, you know, french participation in the nato command structure so this had the potential to fracture the alliance at a very inopportune moment. >> you note that putin quickly congratulated macron following his reelection. why? what is his motive? youre laughing, why? whats going on? >> well, yeah, he probably would have been delighted had le pen won but, you know, macron and putin have had seriou...

I mean sergei lavrov is a very skilled diplomat. he no doubt understands that a first use of nuclear weapons by russia in this conflict would mean disaster for his country. if thats his message, he need to see tell that to his boss. >> true that. so lavrovs comments comes days after russia tested its intercontinental ballistic missile, does putin understand its going badly for him? >> also a very good question. i think weve had some questions about the level of real intelligence that, you know, ...
