>> once lbj gave west moorland 150,000 ground troops, really there was no turning back. >> he wasn't happy with the press and the press wasn't happy with him. >> the big lie was optimism. >> he had no idea of the vengeance that would come down on him. hello, everyone, i'm michael holmes coming to you live from laviv in ukraine, ahead this hour, joe biden agrees in principle to a summit with vladimir putin to drive to prevent russia from invading ukraine, follows an ominous warning from the u.s. about what the latest intelligence indicates. details plus what these new satellite images mean. >> and i'm linda kinkade live at cnn headquarters in atlanta, queen elizabeth tested positive for coronavirus as england is

poised to relax covid restrictions. we head live to windsor for the very latest on the queen's health. >> world leaders are in a race against time to stave off war in ukraine, on sunday, u.s. president joe biden agreed in principle to a summit with the russian president, vladimir putin but the white house says that will only go ahead if russia does not further invade ukraine. now, the meeting was proposed by the french president, emmanuel macron, the latest diplomatic effort to deescalate tensions between russia and ukraine but comes as new satellite images show increased activity among russian forces massed near ukraine's northeastern border. we're also learning the u.s. has intelligence indicating russian commanders received orders to

proceed with an attack on ukraine, although it is not clear when, that's according to several officials who spoke to cnn. all right, now u.s. intelligence officials estimate close to 75% of russia's entire conventional forces have now been deployed to ukraine's doorstep surrounding the country on three sides. in washington, president biden held a meeting with the national security council sundays days after saying he is convinced putin has decided to invade ukraine, still, u.s. officials say a diplomat, solution still remains on the table. >> while we believe president putin has made the decision, the die is cast, until that die actually settles and the tanks are muflg, the planes are flying, the bombs are dropping, we're going to do everything we can with policy and deterrence and dissuasion to get president

putin to reverse the decision he has made and part of that is making very clear what he can risk in terms of sanctions. >> meanwhile, ukraine says this video shows pro-russian separatists in the east launching fire against their own territory in an attempt to falsely accuse ukraine's armed forces of carrying out an attack. now, this comes as those separatist leaders continue urging civilians in the paths of eastern ukraine under their control to evacuate to russia, claiming ukrainian forces are planning an attack, something ukraine has consistently denied and appears to be no evidence of. bringing in cnn's fred pleitgen from moscow, when we talk about this presidential summit, it seems last ditch but it is a glimmer, when might we know what the kremlin thinks about the idea. >> yeah, i think through the course of this morning we'll hear what the kremlin thinks about all of this, whether something like this could be

possible, and so far, what we've heard from the kremlin in recent weeks, they're always willing to talk and certainly would like to talk, putin would certainly like to talk face to face with president joe biden, that is certainly something where i think he wouldn't only obviously want to talk about the situation there in donbas, but generally about the wider security structure in europe and some of those security demands that the russians have been making over the past couple of weeks, the past couple of months a lot of which the u.s. rejected but certainly told me in the past couple weeks they're always open to diplomacy and certainly want to keep talking. as far as the situation on the ground is concerned, michael, it's quite interesting, something of the things that we've just shown. indeed the separatists there in eastern ukraine in the donbas region are accusing the ukrainian forces of shelling them overnight said a fighter died, civilian died, of course you have the images by ukrainian military essentially saying the separatists are shelling their own positions and shelling the

areas inside those separatists republics in order to try to accuse the ukrainian military of some sort of offensive which the ukrainians say are not happening. the other thing though, satellite images, michael, and those certainly are something that is also very interesting to see when we're hearing some of the reports from outside those separatist republics on the russian side where you appear to have some of those russian forces who are on those larger bases over the past couple of weeks sort of gathering there now seemingly dispersing into smaller units where you can actually see tanks and sort of mechanized how they go through smaller towns. the russians are saying they have no plans to invade, but the u.s., of course, saying that they believe the situation is growing more dangerous by the hour and that essentially, they believe vladimir putin has made a decision to further invade ukraine, but again the russians say that is hysteria, something they've been saying over the past couple of weeks, but right now, you can sort of see here on

russian media and among russian politicians that they certainly are also saying that the situation, especially down there in donbas continues to escalate, michael. >> all right, great wrap-up there of events, fred pleitgen, thank you so much, appreciate it. now, joining me now, is peter zalmeyev, director of democracy initiative, live from kyiv, good to see you sir. given the logistical difficulties of taking the entire country, can you envision if putin does choose to invade a more peaceable approach, perhaps carving off areas he could control. >> indeed, that's what most local analyst and see a lot of western analysts, what we're hearing from the white house and the intelligence they claim to have unearthed that really, vladimir putin is not interested in, you know, bringing on crippling sanctions against his

regime. he's not interested in having a western international media, you know, report on bloody scenes of uyan ukr ukrainian cities and cities with people vladimir putin claims are an ethnic kin to the russians so still seems to be, at the very least, what we'll see at the beginning as an incursion in the east of ukraine. it's already happening, the false flag operation that we had been warning about has already started, you know, the russian -- the u.s. embassy in russia, in fact, is saying that, you know, to be aware that there may be false flag operations in russian cities such as building explosions or other areas that will later be blamed by the russians on the ukrainian side. so while you cannot rule out a full country invasion, it seems vladimir putin will be taking a

peace meal approach and that has been his motus operandi all along in ukraine. >> we know in a one-on-one fight it's not a fair find in a military sense. what do you think would happen in the days after an invasion? what would ukrainians do to counter it? >> well, you have to understand that, obviously, the ukrainian army is not the same as it was in 2014 militarily, and morale wise, there's obviously much more clarity as far as what ukrainians are willing to do to defend their country. also, you know, there's the blunt fact of uk-us having shipped anti-tank missiles to ukraine, currently, ukraine probably has an antitank missile for each russian tank, so what's the calculus for vladimir putin has become a much more difficult

one and, you know, i was just at the meeting security conference yesterday and in meetings both official and unofficial, western officials and former american generals and very high level individuals have said that if we see ukrainians fighting, if we see the resolve on the part of ukrainians to fight, we will be supplying them with weapons and vladimir putin knows that. >> it would be, you know, an insurgency and i spent years covering iraq. an insurgency would be a very bloody affair, wouldn't it? >> it would be indeed, a bloody affair, especially if we talk about large population, you know, centers. once again, it seems very unlikely right now that vladimir putin would go for that sort of scenario, but once again, you cannot discount t vladimir putin has been in a bunker, in

complete isolation, almost entirely the last two years, surrounded by really crazy individuals who are, you know, who have a very messianic belt they think russia will and should have a showdown with the west to assure its future but it's, so whilst we cannot discount it, if you can leave that putin remains a saint after, that you probably -- that then you'll will consider the other ways that he can cripple ukraine and try to bring it to its knees. he's already doing it, there have been a series of cyber attacks, he's blockading ukraine supports from the black sea, caused the national currency to fall, investors flee for exits and that may be part of vladimir putin's strategy. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, to choke off ukraine economically without even firing a shot. i wanted to ask you about the donbas, you know, it's interesting, if the russians miraculously backed off, the

invasion is off, that region is hardly likely to then turn around and say okay, we're back with ukraine. is it? what would you see happening there? and might the step act unilaterally even if they're not being told what to do by moscow. >> reporter: first of all, i think there's enough will to fight, in donbas, already seen people running for the exits there. some fleeing back to ukraine, there's no willingness to fight for the quasi-states, no one believes they're genuine, you know, political entities. having said that, obviously the language issue remains pretty pernicious and the region has been through eight years of massive stalinist type indoctrination by the russian media and russian bosses essentially running this region. so ukraine in whichever scenario

will have to compromise on the language issue allowing the region to keep the russian language as a regional language. >> yeah. that would be an interesting compromise. in the broader picture, putin, of course, wants ukraine to give up the whole notion of nato membership. do you ever think there would come a time when ukraine would entertain that or the perhaps the west would pressure ukraine to entertain that? >> i think that's been a red herring for putin all along. i do not believe he generally believes nato is as serious and significant and existential threat to russia, does not believe ukraine is knowing to be a member of nato anytime soon so it's a moot point, what he says to vladimir putin. he sees it as a tragedy and loss, willing to let ukraine

keep its solvereigncy like, but what he's done with belarus, deprived that country in the last months of its view on sovereignty, it was viewed as a protectorate and that's exactly what he has in mind for ukraine, for the russian nation. >> and by invitation in belarus, a lot of people wondering if the russians will ever leave now that they're there. we're out of time, peter zalmaya thank you so much, always good to get your important analysis. >> thank you. >> all right, i'm michael holmes in laviv, ukraine, for now, we turn to linda kinkade at the cnn center for today's other stories. >> thanks so much, michael, another great interview, we'll catch up with you soon. still to kmcome, update on e

minister wishing queen elizabeth a swift recovery after testing positive for covid-19, saying the 95-year-old monarch experiencing mild cold-like symptoms and plans to continue duties this week. according to uk media, she is fully vaccinated. cnn's anna stewart joins us now from a very windy windsor. good to have you with us, anna. so it sounds like the queen is doing pretty well at this point in time, which is great. >> reporter: it certainly seems that way. i'm sure i'm not alone in wishing she would rest up given she is 95 years old and has covid, albeit, with stringence but told by the palace she will carry on duties and didn't have any major events, one public engagement next week could be canceled, we'll keep an eye on her agenda, but symptoms appear to be mild according to the palace and told by medical physicians and she has a full

team that work within the royal household for her, will continue giving her medical attention. some question thamt means it's possible the queen is receiving antiviral medication given her age, at higher risk due to her age from severe disease from covid but hopefully all will be well, but quite extraordinary that just two months out from her 96th birthday, yes, the queen will keep on working. >> yeah, it really is amazing, speaks to her work ethic. so tell us about the staff, royal family members, any others in isolation or quarantine we know of? >> reporter: yeah, because this has been a series of events, really, concerned about the queen getting covid when prince charles tested positive and that was two days after he had seen his mother the queen and a few days after he tested positive so did his wife camila, dutchess of corn wall. the queen has been kept in what we call an hms bubble, a limited staffing within the royal

household since the pandemic began since the pandemic to keep her safe, but really, we've been told that bubble has been infiltrated because there are other cases of covid within windsor castle's household. this comes as the uk rifts all restrictions from covid and with omicron still around, highly transmissible, perhaps no surprise covid has infiltrated the royal bubble. linda. >> exactly, it's remarkable. she hasn't had it before, really. but let's hope she continues to do well, anna stewart, thanks so much for joining us. well, to mention despite the queen's positive case, england is moving forward with plans to end isolation requirements for those testing positive for the virus, an announcement this week, rolling back all restrictions as the country moves to treat covid-19 as a virus that is here to stay. and israel is lifting restrictions as well, allowing all tourists, regardless of

vaccination status back into the country from march first, travelers won't have to present proof of vaccination, but instead take a pcr test before and after their flight. and australia has fully reopened its borders to vaccinated travelers making for some, emotional reunions to families who have been apart since the pandemic began. can't wait to get back there in the coming months. still to come, hong kong's fifth wave of covid-19 goes bad to worse with conhong kong, hospit there on the brink of collapse. is help from mainland china enough to stall the spread? we go live to hong kong for the latest. not all plastic is the same. we're carefully designining our bottles to be 100% recyclable, including the caps. they're collected and separated from other plastics, so they y can be turned back into material that we use to make new bottles. that completes the circle and reduces plastic waste.

a spectacular scene there in beijing. fireworks lighting up the sky as the olympic host city said fair well to the 2022 winter games. spectators danced, sang and cheered in the bird's nest stadium for the closing ceremony, after 16 days of competition, norway sat atop the medal table with a record number of gold. but the games were not without controversy in particular the doping scandal around 15-year-old russian skater kamila valieva who tested positive for banned substance ahead of the games. olympic coverage on "world sport" in about 20 minutes. hong kong ramping up testing trying to contain the spread of

all the region's fifth wave of the virus, hospitals stretched to the limit with people stuck in the rain due to a lack of hospital beds. the government brought in more than 100 healthcare workers from mainland china to help treat severe cases and manage new patients before the region's hospital system is completely overwhelmed. following the developments and joins us now from hong kong with the latest, christi, believes that they're recruited to help control this outbreak, explain how they'll be deployed. >> reporter: yeah, linda, hong kong reportedly mobilizing the police force to help with the fifth wave of growing infection from covid-19, the post reporting that the police would prepare for mandatory testing. what we know now is authorities considering how to roll out mandatory testing in the future for the city of 7.4 million people. now this news comes shortly after chinese president xi jinping urged the city to take the main responsibility to

stabilize and control this growing outbreak, on sunday, hong kong reported over 6,000 new cases of covid-19, reported 14 new deaths caused by the virus. mainland china pledged help and help is on its way and help is here in the form of expertise for treatment, for testing, for building new isolation facilities. in fact, right now, mainland chinese teams are helping to build these new isolation quarantine and treatment facilities in penny's bay, that's a corner of hong kong located near hong kong disney land as well as the kitak cruise terminal. these facilities can provide some 10,000 isolation beds but when you talk to experts they say it's not enough, experts at the university of hong kong say they're reporting 6,000 new daily covid cases a day, will surge to 26,000 by march. back to you. >> wow, so cases rising, certainly not enough beds, just

explain what went wrong in hong kong. how did it get to this point? >> reporter: in a word, could be summed up as complacency. hong kong has had two years to stockpile testing kits, two years to build isolation centers and quarantine facilities, hong kong has had just under a year ago when the vaccination system was rolled out, just under a year to get certain members of the population, especially the most vulnerable and elderly to be vaccinated and boosted. all of that time and opportunity has been squaundered and that's why we are at this place today where hong kong is literally scrambling for resources, getting resources from mainland china, rebuking abilities last week and now hearing from experts that despite this surge of activity to be able to create more isolation beds and quarantine spaces, looking at the models out there, it's still

not enough to deal with the surge of infection coming our way. back to you. >> it's head-scratching and looking at those scenes, they're like the scenes we saw in new york before vaccines were even available. christi, in hong kong, thanks very much. >> thank you. two incidents involving police and protesters are under investigation after a violent weekend of protests and nearly 200 arrests in canada, ontario, special investigations unit looking into a serious injury reported by a woman who interacted with a police officer on a horse. the group also investigating the use of antiriot weapons during the protests. no injuries reported so far but this special investigation's unit is asking anyone who may have been hit by a projectile to contact them. still to come on cnn, we are following a high stakes last ditch effort at diplomacy for a peaceful resolution to the russian/ukraine crisis. ♪

i'm back in ladiv, ukraine, the white house says u.s. president joe biden agreed in principle to summit with the president putin on ukraine. the french summit represents a last-ditch effort at diplomacy as the military crisis intensifies but white house warns the meeting can only take place if russia doesn't invade ukraine in the interim and would also only occur after u.s. secretary of state antony blinken and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov meet on thursday, all of this happening as new satellite images show increased activity among forces masked near ukraine's northeastern border and u.s. defense secretary says an invasion could lead to mass casualties. >> you could see a significant amount of combat power moved

very quickly to take kyiv. so in terms of the types of things that could happen, one only need to look at what's on the other side of the ukrainian border. if he employs that kind of combat power, it will certainly create enormous casualties within a civilian population. >> meanwhile, sources tell cnn the u.s. has intelligence that russian demanders have received orders to attack ukraine not clear when, however, and importantly. cnn's jim sciutto following that part of the story. >> reporter: according to the latest u.s. intelligence assessment, orders have been sent to russian tactical commanders to proceed with an invasion. this, according to officials with direct knowledge of the intelligence, telling myself and my colleague natasha bertram. we should be clear, however, that the u.s. is looking for multiple indicators that an invasion is coming. this is one of them, but others such as electronic jamming or

massive cyber attacks against ukraine have not yet ben observed. it is also worth noting that orders such as this could be rescinded or could be part of a misinformation campaign intended to mislead the u.s. and its allies. however, this intelligence comes as we've heard public statements from both senior u.s. officials including president, vice-president and secretary of state, saying in recent days that the u.s. now believes putin has made a decision to invade. secretary of state antony blinken saying today in his words, the russian playbook is moving forward. jim ch jim sciutto, cnn, laviv ukraine. >> joining me now in laviv, live, editor nick moss, you lived and worked in russia for years and covered the early days of putin. i'm curious, whats your take on who might be in his ear?

who is giving him advice, and, crucially, is there anyone around to say no that is a bad idea. >> that is the fundamental question behind all of this, has he made a decision and was it informed by what most outsiders would think is the catastrophic nature of deciding to send 150,000 troops into a country which has a pretty visceral level of discussing what the kremlin has been doing over the past year. there is a cabal of what they call sloveky, people around the ministries surrounding putin, mostly men in the 50s, defense ministers, alexander ahead of the isp, all men steeped in the former kgb in their past around putin and i think all probably, too, with an eye on the future as well. nobody is immortal so criminologists thinking at this stage in vladimir putin does go ahead with this extraordinary

military maneuver according to the uk prime minister, biggest military maneuver since 1945 is that from an internal dynamic or external misinformation, has he been told this will be easy and a cake walk? most people look at this as a comparable experience to the soviets in afghanistan if they really did do this, so complex information he's getting a lot of western officials you speak to say they are concerned covid has left this man always been seen isolating himself behind an antiseptic curtain almost increasingly less worried about what is going on in the outside world. >> that is an extraordinary thought, isn't it, and that distancing, even laeiterally wi the massive table as he keeps distance from everyone, but to the point of is there anyone to say no, i mean, is he the type of man, is he the type of character who people could go up and say this is not a good idea? or they just listen to whatever he says?

>> reporter: it's very difficult to balance the idea of this russian leader who has the world sort of on tender hooks here, has the u.s. and europe racing themselves that his calculated moves could launch the continent into some sort of broader conflict, bans that idea of a rational actor who managed to sustain his place in power and maneuver russia back into position in the world stage, that rational actor, with a completely irrational actor who would plow russia straight into this extraordinary military catastrophe frankly, not just ukraine but thousands of russia soldiers and lives as well so those two things are essentially the answers to the questions here, how do you reconcile the rational man we seen rise over decades and irrational act supposed to be happening according to u.s. officials. >> fascinating insight, great to have you here, nick payton walsh, around with us next hour so stick around. moving on, last hour, i talked to the president of the kyiv school of economics,

timothy, and he was also a former minister of economic development and trade in ukraine and i asked about the damage done to ukraine's economy because of this crisis. here's what he said. >> well, even if there is none, there is already a lot of damage, access to capital markets, capitalization of companies, logistics problems, insurance costs going up, gdp forecast couple of weeks ago revised down about 1% and there are estimates produced by our analysts and others that at blockade, say there's a blockade that would hurt us between half a% to 3% gdp per month, without any connective action, without invasion, if there's connective action, that depends because it's hard to assess the specific scenarios but we have some data, we have some experience into

southeastern land, the east was invaded and when crimea gdp, ukrainian gdp dropped 14% and that was the damage, overall damage into the south and further, you know, the estimated range was from 70 to $200 billion which was approximately one year gdp of ukraine currently. >> all right, i'm michael holmes in laviv ukraine, will be back for more next hour. for now, back to linda kinkade at cnn center for other top stories. >> thank you, my friend, good to have you there my friend. argentina devastated by on going fires. some 15,000 hectares affected,

you're looking at a scene from sunday in washington d.c. where several pro ukrainian groups gathered to show solidarity for ukraine and encourage biden to enact sanctions now. >> if you could say anything to putin, what would you say? >> stop the war, stop the fighting, we pray for democracy and it's a great country, great people, and we are here to ask u.s. government and all leaders

in the world to send support, to support our country and let's pray for the peace. >> my heart is worried about ukraine. i do not want another war. i do not want struggles, large and old. ukraine went through this many times and there's no need for this now. so i support all ukrainians who came together also here to send message to washington to biden and everybody else. you need to do something to stop all this. >> well in new york, cnn's paula san sandoval spoke with ukrainian-american community adviser who highlighted their concerns. >> what is happening half a world away is real and visceral for many ukrainians living here in the united states, spending time with one of those communities here in new york city where roughly 150,000 ukrainian americans actually live here in new york city according to one community

organizer and many of them turning to faith as they've been doing the last eight years but certainly more lately according to the members of one perish spending the day on sunday at st. george ukrainian catholic church, many people standing in solidarity and praying for their brothers and sisters in ukraine, also u.s. based organizations taking real steps to unsure the safety and well-being of their friends and families in ukraine. i want you to hear from not only a member of that community in new york city, but also a member of the ukrainian congress committee of america, describing what's being done now as they reach out to people in ukraine. >> we're checking on family members to check if they have american passports that they any leave if they want to, have go bags, we assume self communication will go down, that happened before during the initial war so if people have satellite phones even better but we want to make sure our friends

are safe in ukraine and also going to do what we can here for the most part if you're just a local ukrainian you're going to be coming to church and we had multiple prayer sessions for ukr ukraine. >> not just mere in new york city but around the country, on sunday saw several pro ukrainian groups peacefully protesting in washington d.c., standing in solidarity of ukraine but calling on biden for sanctions with russia. while russia invades ukraine, shock could be felt all around the world. supply already failing to keep up with the demand. a price hike might be set if opec ramps up production. rising inflation already causing big issues in the united states and other countries, when a russian invasion could send the

inflation rate in the united states to more than 10 percent and that could mean the federal reserve might raise interest rates faster to cool off inflation. there's also a new threat of russian cyber attacks against companies in the u.s. as well as financial systems and critical infrastructure. >> doug redicker senior fellow at brookings institution, senior fellow of economy and development. so u.s. president biden says defending america's democracy and liberty is never without cost and he has said the cost of russia invading ukraine would be felt in the united states. in what way would it be felt? >> well, i think the consequences of the potential invasion would be felt through three different means in the economic sphere. one would be the consequences of the action itself. second would be the consequences of the reaction, that would be the sanctions we and the

europeans would be likely to impose and third would be the reaction to the reaction, so what would president putin do in response to what we and the europeans might do in terms of sanctions? i think each of those three has a different set of potential consequences to americans and europeans and the rest of the world. an annen an invasion by russia into ukraine. will have impact on ukraine trade. a big exporter of fertilizer and agricultural products. impacting primarily north africa. an impact on the global food supply. and impacts there. you're not going to see in the context of sanctions i think the white house. you're not going to see the sanctions imposed on oil and gas. what everybody is concerned about. for good reason. i think the u.s. and european allies have said is if we go down that route, it's counter productive. not only because it hurts russia and americans and europeans,

because the political will to endure the sanctions whether it's the u.s. or germans or others. it's going to weaken if in fact homes aren't heated. businesses can't run. the u.s. and european allies are not likely to impose sanctions on european gas and oil exports. the big concern i have is that the third bucket. if we go down the route of sanctioning russia, but on bank transactions and technology imports. and other key sectors, vladimir putin is shown himself not shy about imposing retaliation sanctions probably cyber. we don't know what the cyber attacks look like. ts white house has done a good job of warning people to be on guard. we don't know exactly what that will look like. that's the biggest risk. >> yeah. major concerns around any cyber attack. we have already seen cyber attack blamed on russians by the u.s. and the uk.

last week. so, certainly major fears to what that could look like going forward. i want to ask you if you have seen fluxuation in the market so far. u.s. and others warn of imminent war. and should we expect turbulence going forward should the situation deteriorate? >> the last 50 years plus or minus, financial markets have grown complacent in the risk. the foundational principles led everyone to believe by the dip is the best way to make money in the market. the question now i think social security dawned on people in the laes week or two, are we looking at a new normal. a situation in which a land war in europe is suddenly possible. with some of the consequences we just discussed as just skimming the surface. whether it's cyber or energy. or exports or trade. just immigration. all of these things are fundamental. the markets have largely

considered them to be irrelevant to their assessment of market risk. i think market is suddenly thinking wait a minute, this could be different. if it is, we could see some shakiness in the global financial market. not necessarily based on fundamental. but a sudden recognition that complacency is not the best way to go about daily business and reassess fundamental premise on which traders have been trading for many years and decades. >> and we have heard women and children told to evacuate parts of eastern ukraine, there are certainly fears that a substantial invasion could lead it a flood of refugees. that no doubt would be a significant humanitarian cost. >> of course any time you have a war there's the humanitarian element. which trumps everything else. this would be no different. of the one thing we can say is that because of the geographic

position, ukraine benefits -- if that's the right word. from being on the border of europe. they could actually see hundreds of thousands maybe more migrants flooding into central and eastern europe. probably mostly poland. and the irony of the situation is poland would probably welcome them. that doesn't mean there wouldn't be a humanitarian disaster. it means from economic perspective, poland would love to have a new immigrant population that would easily assimilate into the economy and culture. the big loser yet again would be ukraine. which is already suffering the brain drain to poland and other countries. ukraine yet again ends up being the victim here. potentially not only an actual invasion. but the consequences of a loss of human capitol. that might flood into central and eastern europe and stay there. >> you make a good point. we'll leave it there. good to get your perspective.
