Mission. >> and thats a possibility. again, the fact that the ukrainians are conducting counteroffensive operations is a good thing. but that can only last so long. they only have so many munitions, so many weapons, so many javelin missiles, so many stinger antiaircraft missiles, they need assistance. and it would be very helpful to have some nato troops helping with the humanitarian assistance zone in western ukraine, if that is in fact declared. >> general, its an honor to get to speak to you....

Do that even though you think militarily it could be necessary? >> i do in some ways. its a humanitarian mission to take care of refugees and civilians who, as were seeing, the russians have very few forces there but are lobbing missiles into that area. theyre killing civilians. nato and the united nations could be a part of this. demand that russia not fire into that humanitarian assistance zone. that is the best way to safely move the civilians and protect them. >> a provocative idea. well con...

Hello, there. well, for most of us, saturday brought much in the way of sunshine. top temperature, 20.5 celsius was recorded in north west wales in porthmadog. i want you to concentrate, though, on the skies in eastern england, where we had lots of sunshine and temperatures quite widely 17—19 degrees. big change on the way, though, for sunday afternoon, as those temperatures are going to be a lot lower. now, the reason for that, is we are going to see an area of cloud that at the moment is in ...

Or this zone of thick low cloud, which could bring a few spots of morning drizzle, be a bit misty as well. perhaps tending to brighten up a little bit into the afternoon across parts of the south—east, but a slow process and there could be areas where the cloud lingers all day. lincolnshire, norfolk, most prone, temperatures there could just get to around eight or nine, still in the best of the sunshine, it will be another warm day for most, with temperatures again reaching the high teens. the...

But not this soon, and especially a place like lviv, a hub for so many displaced people in ukraine. this is the last safe zone for many of those people. i had a chance to go out yesterday and talk to a lot of people in lviv and they said if lviv gets hit, they dont really have anywhere else to go. theyre down to their pennies, relying on friends and families to put them up, and if this place was to be bombed, they wouldnt know what to do. walking around the streets in lviv, chris, its sad. i spo...

Ukrainian-poland border, so they are getting some of the stuff. but theyre not getting everything that volodymyr zelenskyys asked for. issues 1-5 are air cover and aerial support. theres no reason why if hes asking for migs, he shouldnt get them. if hes asking for more drones from turkey, he shouldnt be getting them. also the surface to air anti-aircraft missiles that hes pleading for, theres exportable inventory in croatia, bulgaria, romania and slovakia, but our own national security council a...

A humanitarian assistance zone which would mean nato troops on the ground with air defense and other systems to protect citizens and a no fly zone over western ukraine that would also help ukraine in many ways. >> which theyve been very, obviously, resistant to to this point. ambassador, what would a nato response be or do you think it should be to that kind of an ending dividing the nation in two to this war? >> well, lets start off, and i think the general is exactly right. this is not somethi...

Ukraine, to pull out of ukraine, but for belarus as well not to exacerbate and worsen the situation in ukraine. and a message for china, as well. that they need not to give military and economic support to russia, and that they need to take a position along with the other international -- along with the other democracies in the world. so, this is a much different place, as you say, hala. >> well, its a united front publicly. but of course, there are some disagreements on the final, perhaps most ...

Operations. on the ground as well as a no fly zone of western ukraine. theres very few russian forces there. less chance for conflict or tension. russian forces will be warned to stay out of that area. yes, theres more that we would be doing like that. >> even considering that would be an escalation and the potential for direct conflict between the u.s. and russia. >> yes. russia has its hands full right now in eastern ukraine with ukrainian forces. theres very little they can do except huff and...

There was a ukrainian helicopter strike on a fuel depo, how significant would that be? >> we spent time there we got a feel tore the lay of the land. in they managed to do this, it would bold and brazen and almost unthinkable to pull off. that video appeared to be mi-24 hocks coming in, firing at that fuel depo. essentially they have to come from kharkiv, the city on the ukrainian side of the border. its not that close. its still about 70 kilometers or what is that 50 miles from t. you dont do t...
