"we're watching press
7:48 am
tv's news review where we look deeper into some of the top stories of the day. on this segment of the program, russia says it has launched a series of massive retaliatory military strikes against ukraine. today the armed forces of the russian federation launched a massive strike with high precision, long-range air, sea, ground-based weapons and unmanned aerial vehicle. against energy facilities, the military industrial complex, railway junctions, arsenals, places of deployment of ukrainian armed forces and foreign mercenaries. the russian defense ministry said the strikes were in response to ukrainian shelling of russian border regions and attempts to break through and settlements
7:49 am
over recent weeks. it stress that all goals the strike had been achieved, the ministry said though, included destroying military equipment delivered to ukraine from nato countries and disrupting the transfer of reserve forces to the frontline. kyev says five people were killed and 14 injured in the largest russian aerial attack to target it in recent months. joining us on this edition of the news review, we have a chair review and affairs of ukrainian world congress, mr. andreay dobrayansky joining us from new york. also we have former cia analyst. johnson joining us from bradington, florida. gentlemen, welcome to the program. let's start off with mr. doriansky in new york. uh, sir, give us uh, your perspective and breakdown of uh of the recent events as you see it. well, just to counter the uh statements being made by moscow, uh, many of the facilities that were hit were civilian. uh, there was no retaliation, because if
7:50 am
you're aiming a missile a trolley, uh, hospitals, other civilian locations, as well as the largest hydroelectric plant uh following the destruction of the kakoca plant last summer uh clearly these are civilian targets, yet another uh number of items that will be added to the war crimes case against russia at the icj uh so that's the the factual uh method. what's happening in russia however is primarily being done by russian citizens against the russian government, and we just got a report today that the largest donations for uh ukraine... drone army uh came from russia during the period of the uh russian election, so there are actually russians who are sending aid to ukraine to help liberate their own country. uh, mr. larry johnson, i want to get your assessment as well, and also if you may respond to mr. dobriansky in new york. what are you saying are lies? complete utter lies. where's the
7:51 am
video? show us the video tape out of kiev of all of the civilian areas hit. you can't, because that's not what happened in contrast though, the ample video evidence of the ukrainians sending missiles into belgrad and drones into belgrad. hitting purely civilian targets. the fact of the matter is there are significant number of western mercenaries, ukraine's being kept alive because of a flow of nato weapons and russia is appropriately hitting and targeting those areas throughout, you know, if you if russia was really hitting civilian targets, you would see the images coming out of of the leviv area out of the base at yavar, but they're not showing that, and ukraine. used a lie about oh we shot down most of the missiles coming in, no they didn't, because if they did they wouldn't be complaining about all the russians have hit all these civilian areas. the reality is
7:52 am
this: ukraine's losing, it has lost the war, it's a dead man walking, it just doesn't want to acknowledge that fact. all right, that's all the time we have for this segment of the program, allow me to thank my guest uh, mr. larry johnson, former cia analyst joining us from bradton, florida, and thanks to mr. andreansky. chair of un affairs, ukrainian world congress, joining us from new york, and that's a wrap for this edition of the news review, but stick around, we've got plenty more to come here on press tv, and welcome back everyone, you're watching press tv world news and now over to europe or controversy is raging over france's continued threat to land. troops in ukraine, now it's been reported that president emmanuel macron has been panicked by leaked classified reports which describe ukraine situation as unwinnable. press tv's rami mazahari has more
7:53 am
from paris. france's president and military leaders continue to cause shock waves with repeated threats to russia of landing troops in ukraine. president emmanuel macron has refused to back. down from weeks of escalating rhetoric, even after classified reports by the french military were leaked, which appear designed to push back on macron's threats. frank conclusions like ukraine cannot win this war militarily, calling western planning disastrous, and admitting, we should not fool ourselves compared to the russians, we have an army of cheerleaders, reportedly panicked macron. as far as recapturing the parts of ukraine now held by russia, the report called russian forces the new tactical and technical standard of how to run defensive operations.
7:54 am
some in the opposition parties have said of macron's recent words, he is crazy, he is going to drag us into war. yes, it is a colossal risk and obviously unwise, but macron also has major domestic problems to divert from. above all, there are the upcoming elections for a european parliament, which are vital element behind these outbursts, even if the outcome there appears rather certain already. paul show, macron's party is running a distant second place behind the nationalist party of marine lepen. polles also reveal that nearly 80% of france. it's very simple to formulate france's policy here. france shouldn't get involved in things
7:55 am
which don't concern it. france needs to stop rejecting russia's diplomatic efforts to discuss european security and russian security and of course to stop refusing to discuss a cease fire in ukraine and even a peace accord. former officials from the era of nicholas sarkozi declared that in the political and media elite there is a dangerous crusading spirit that is playing at war and which could easily escalate the ukraine conflict into a major european disaster. romin mazahari, press tv, paris. and that's it for your latest here on press tv, everyone. thanks for tuning in and goodbye for now.

archaeology is the science of studying ancient artifacts to be able to find out what time period they are from uh what materials they are made out of and other characteristics, but most importantly perhaps what can this artifact tell us about the people who actually made this artifact, what tools did they use, what techniques and technologies were available to them that made the making of this artifact actually possible and we need to be uh studying that artifact in a way that we don't actually damage the artifact and this is where using nuclear technology, in particular asing particle accelerators can actually help us with the imaging of these artifacts to understand what they are made out of and...
