there has been actual some, some criticism of the printing government with in ukraine for their relative silence over the circumstances surrounding this other n. please have criticized the printing government for not being more forceful and more transparent here, allowing russia to dominate the information space. and frankly, just credit ukraine and to paint ukraine is irresponsible and unable to handle the western weapons that have been given to it. ukraine is trying to manage this and ensure that it understands what happened and that it handles the situation responsibly. and do you think this incident would have any impact on the future of a prisoner slots? that is another serious fear, especially amongst ukrainian families who uh who family members are prisoners of war. uh, they worried that russia willie uses as pretext to dial back or cut off entirely

2:07 am
substitute oxygen which we need and giving this nitrogen. there are no studies on the animals. there are a few people who used it in europe for assisted suicide, but no publications. so i would say quite simply, the state of alabama, there's no what it's doing interesting. it is saying that because the attorney general has call this method, perhaps in his words, perhaps the most humane method of execution ever devised or in the operative to him . there is perhaps, maybe it is a more humane way than a lethal injection. by the way, mistakes we also have states allowing hanging a firing squad. um, it isn't clear, however, that if you don't get the mask fit, correct, if you don't know what you're doing, you're going to let some oxygen. so you've been in this could turn into a very prolonged in human. yeah. so the attorney general sort of went to bed for
2:08 am
a procedure. i'll say it again for which there is no protocol and no published evidence involving analysts. and how does of us compare with nathan interaction because this same convict did survive a previous set execution. so this, some people saying this is also a prolonged torture metro, a trust in the state of alabama to get this right. they tried lethal injection maybe a year ago. it did not work properly. he did not die. he still here another shifting . part of the reason the shift is on is because pharmaceutical companies won't supply the drugs necessary for lethal injection. in fact, 2 of them are german companies, brown and for seniors that won't ship. so the state is scrambling to come up with somebody else. but his previous efforts to execute a,
