The fire in his eyes and flustered demeanor left a chill down the spine. meetings with russian officials are typically scripted, but the two attaches said they had never witnessed such an outburst by russian counterparts at an official meeting. the readout by the officials concludes, at the very least, it is clear that morale problems among russian forces are not limited to frontline troops. the readout describes only the impressions of the u.s. officials and does not definitively explain ilyins...

Sources and methods. but the most recent intelligence is interesting. gchq, the signals intelligence. and signals intelligence means listening to -- trying to listen to what enemy transmissions, russian transmissions are up to. and apparently not only the western intelligence services but the ukrainians are getting pretty good at it. aided bye the fact that, you know, as spider referred to, we have a morale problem. they are whipping out cell phones and trying to communicate with each other, tac...

So forth. but they are using brutality in order to drive the political situation. >> what about these reports of, in some cases, russian troops refusing to obey orders? in one case, we understand according to intelligence reports perhaps even accidentally shooting down one of their own aircraft. there is some video circulating online of russian troops hitchhiking away from their positions because they just do not want to fight this fight. what impact does that have overall on the russian war eff...

Front line troops. the readout describes only the demeanor of the officials and does not explain the behavior. such readouts are too sensitive to be made public. >> readouts of this type are important because they give us an insight, potential insight, into what the russians are also thinking. but it also shows there was some kind of a morale problem within the russian hierarchy and it extends possibly all the way up to the top. >> reporter: the russian ministry of defense did not respond to a c...

>> yes, you do. >> what kind of police commissioner would you be looking for that can deal with both police reform and deal with the question of policing at the same time with the morale problem, but with the problem that we still want to see policing deal with things like mental health and readjust these budgets to deal with that? what kind of commission are you looking for? >> great question. as a reverend you can appreciate, this is a 14 and 14 moment -- >> very important. >> arrested, beat b...

Internet in a really ugly way and which ones represent people who are actually planning some kind of physical attack. you know, i heard from one senior -- i heard from one senior security official who was saying, you know, look, like just because the number of threats has risen we shouldnt assume that means that the actual threat itself has risen. now, for senior leaders that signals that, okay, it is maybe less likely we are going to get caught by surprise by another january 6th style attack, b...

Good case against this guy. they had realtime information from the other members of the platoon. other people who were on the battlefield. who witnessed gallagher kill this kid, was a teenager, with a hunting knife. and then pose with the body. over the loud objection, in realtime, from the people who were -- who were his juniors. and then ordering some of those other s.e.a.l.s. to participate in what the navy considers a war crime along with him. there are a number of -- of military chain of co...
