russia stepping up onslaught in ukraine with attacks reported across the country. missile strike killed at least three people and injured 15 others yesterday. live in london with the latest, brian. >> the battle for the donbas continues, that's the main area russia is trying to take control of, at least that's what it has announced seeking to take control of. the region, one of the two regions in donbas the last 24 hours, at least seven people killed and 14 injured. he also said ukrainian military

succeeded in repelling russian attack, the goal of which was sees strategic highway in donbas but one thing is clear so far, neither side has momentum right now to bring this to a close anytime soon. violence continued to rage outside donbas, ukrainian officials say russian bombers in the city cruise missile friday in the attack you mentioned. the industrial plant known as -- spacecraft, satellites including one for elon musk recently and launch rockets. if rocket capability, russians say they were after defense officials in moscow saturday said the strike destroyed workshops producing components for ukrainian ballistic missiles and other weapons systems. russian spokesman's did not respond to read ukrainian allegations the strike build

civilians. the southeast of ukraine, russia struck several other areas outside donbas, most notably the city of odesa yet again and the region in the area. the extreme south of the country and on the other side of ukraine, up to the north the regions of sumi right there on the russian border also hit by russian missiles, more evidence that russia appears to be repaired and continues to use missile strikes to reach ukrainian targets and ukrainian civilians as we've seen hundreds of miles behind front lines. arthel: ukrainian civilians killed every day. brian, thank you. eric. eric: the u.s. says iran trying to sell hundreds of attack drones to russia.

the drones to be deployed in ukraine. national security advisor jake sullivan after iran first denied it. he says iran showed drones to russian military at an iranian airfield. what is the link between not merely vladimir putin in the west in our security? a former defense officer joins us now and the author of a fantastic book. vladimir putin's mind called putin's playbook, russia's secret plan to defeat america, she joins us now. rebecca, what does it mean? it doesn't seemed like a secret plan to hook up with our enemy and what does it mean? putin's coordination as we see with iran? >> putin definitely is according every pariah in the world. he's developing romance with

iran with north korean kim jong un, china, basically it's a troubling development that the russians are gearing up with drones because iranian drones are legal, robust technologically. why? they were developed stolen, reverse engineering technology from america and israel. the russians will take advantage of it. not good in terms of drone technology themselves and it will fill a critical gap putin's military capability in ukraine. eric: to get a step further, if it's drones now, could be other arguments if russia runs out as the war continues? >> absolutely, i would not rule out out. this is why let me putin is

getting ready to visit iran's leader tuesday, july 19 and iran together with putin's article. the russians already are having robust arms trade with iran and iranians want weaponry from russia and the russians are desperate for technology from iran, specifically the drones iranians have developed, illegal supply routes, foreign competitors. the drones are cheap and unfortunately we can't do anything about it. this is a very that strategic development for u.s. interest that we need to counter. eric: you have dissected putin's mind and his motivation that

would motivate him. we see russian defeat in the battlefield in some areas although they were still holding on especially in the east. what does putin want? to any of the adversarial successes of the nato supplied weapons ukrainians have so far, do you think it will block him? is he a guy who would surrender? >> the guy would not surrender unfortunately, eric. that's because putin has had this plan for 20 years. he never made it a secret what he wanted to do so to reconstitute former soviet union is essential, the russians can say a security buffer and nato whom the russians declared as enemy number one in the military

doctrine so ukraine is part of that perimeter and putin want ukraine neutral at minimal so he announced ukraine was a redline and this is why he assembled 190,000 troop strong along the border with ukraine while our diplomats when you go here security guarantees so he will not stop. ukraine has got a bump in their capability our high marks and they are making a difference right now in the battlefield. unfortunately if the military capability of russia and ukraine are so disproportionately, russians have disproportionate advantage so unfortunately it's not going to make a difference,

it will not stop putin. all we can hope for is ukrainians will hold the line hopefully and not surrender any more territory because they arty have 20% in four months, less than five months. eric: the high velocity -- really damaging apparently russia's storehouse of weapons and other material. besides ukraine, the "wall street journal" today saying his whole plan is to try to assemble a group against the u.s. russia and china seeking to rewire locally and it will work to their advantage for years to come. reception from the president of china, india, brazil and south africa. a virtual meeting, putin has reason to feel good about plan so far. ultimately his goal is to

assemble a group of countries against the west. will you be successful? >> i doubt that this will be successful but it is the goal because all of the authoritarians of the world are uniting. russia, china, north korea, iran and yes, putin is planning to build an alternative architecture. commerce and trade and eventually it will grow into a military architecture as well. in fact, putin's eurasian economic union and china's road initiative now in the process of degrading even though russia and china are not exactly strategic, they are more like enemy of my enemy is my friend type of

relationship. they are more acting of convenience so they can present a very formidable challenge to u.s. interest because china has grown militarily very strong so right now but keeps generals up at night is the possibility of a two front war between russia and u.s. and china and the united states. this is low probability high risk scenario we call it and we must be prepared for that. eric: low probability, thankfully high-risk, yes, i don't hear anything about anything that keeps generals, american generals up at night but i'm glad they are considering every option. thank you, author of putin's

playbook, russia's secret plan to defeat america and he certainly has one. rebecca, thanks. arthel: might keep -- thank you, rebecca. keeping the generals up at night, officials and lawmakers warning the u.s. losing the race to develop hypersonic missiles saying our technology is years behind china. new report raising alarms for missile defense systems across the home that. we'll get into that with former air force general richard, that's up next. ♪♪

the u.s. successfully testing hypersonic missiles in new mexico this week but it might not be time for the pentagon to make a victory lap. a new report warns u.s. defenses are making between russia and chinese advances in cruise missile technology in an exclusive interview with jennifer griffin, here's angus king of the armed service committee had to say. >> we are i think five years behind in terms of where the chinese are, they don't mind failing and test. we have his idea with got to get right, every test has to be a success. they have a series of failures, one of which they learned something. arthel: let's bring in retired u.s. air force lieutenant general richard newton, former assistant vice chief of staff for the service.

general, thank you. first of all, do you agree with senator king? what more can you tell us about the hypersonic missiles x. >> good afternoon, i agree with senator king, he's spot on and listeners paying attention to eric's previous interview with rebecca, this idea dual threat between russia and china, low priority but high risk and that plays out in their advances. significant advances in cruise missiles and hypersonic missiles, technology and capability and it is an advance of u.s. defense capabilities as well as one of our officers in the hypersonic missiles. arthel: that struck me, too. in fact, i wrote that down because i figured that was so what kind of threat is the u.s. facing russia and china in this hypersonic missiles and can the u.s. catch up on missile defense? >> this is is one you talked about earlier that would keep me up at night in the pentagon and that is the ability to defend against hypersonic cruise

missiles. we talk hypersonic, we are talking loss, greater than 4000 miles and russia has the capability for those systems. our problem and challenge like china catching up in the next five or ten years especially with this, our challenge is defending, in terms of defending ballistic missiles but in terms of low-flying cruise missiles, very high speed, we yet have the capability under design but yet to have over the horizon, beyond the horizon, beyond site senses to come over the radars for communication and command-and-control against this to defeat the crews missiles coming in so that is a problem. furthermore, the commander of north american sworn testimony before the senate, he has significant concerns so this is real, it is here and we are in

tough competition with china and russia in this. arthel: and putin is proceeding with reckless abandonment, china is determined to become the superpower and then u.s. congress and constant gridlock and unnecessary dissension. at some time, does this affect national security if america is stagnant on policymaking to advance the country hypersonic weapons systems? >> that's just one part of the playbook. i think it's happening right now so that's where we need to come together because the number one top priority is to defend the united states and call on foreign and depends and this is a significant threat here, it's going to be one here for several years and we got in my 34 years on active duty, i've never seen such an effort by russia and china. to modernize their forces, space forces so that is significant.

all the elements of national security include congress to authorize money and allow us to defend the united states. we need to come together because this is a bipartisan issue, national security issue and in the interest of u.s. american people. arthel: thank you for that. i want to play some sound but you mentioned the missiles we are developing, how long does it take to develop such equipment? >> we are probably looking at months and years but the air force depleted successful air missile 183, it was off the seven top california coast tuesday and it must, it achieved hypersonic speed and so forth to allow the air force to go into further development of hypersonic missiles ourselves but we are still a long way off but what we need to focus on is

using hypersonic missiles and so forth but the defensive part, it may include radars but space-based capabilities as well washington clearly stated so senator king and the committee and other members of congress we hope to have momentum now and address this clear present danger issue that faces the united states. arthel: we have multiple clear present dangers facing us right now the commander of north american aerospace defense command, he was at that hearing that happened in may, let's play that sound and then talk about. >> have a majority of 22's and 35 in alaska, we have a defense system to protect them. >> with regards to cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles currently coastal defense cruise missiles in russia have significant concerns about these

assets. arthel: so we support the people of ukraine. i want to ask you because other people are thinking this, is the biden administration focusing so much on ukraine they have not maintained our own military defense weaponry or can they be prioritized at the same time? >> it's a great question, i think we need to prioritize both because putin's attack on ukraine is affecting the united states and really the free world so we cannot allow him in my best military judgment, all the while there are other threats we have to pay attention to in the threat from china and russia, they are not separate, the fact that putin decided he can create the largest since world war ii against ukraine was something he

woke up and figured out he needs to do. look at the debacle in afghanistan and potentially other elements of u.s. national security under some threat, the world is not getting there, we need to decide we are going to be a superpower and remain a superpower or we are going to hand it off to russia on that. putin made the statement an economic forum with russia that said in effect, he wants to replace the united states as the sole or key superpower and the fact that he is demonstrating that in his own medications, it's back up by the ukraine invasion, by what he saw in afghanistan so it is a present danger. arthel: everybody better wake up and we are trying to tear each other apart here at home with domestic terrorists.

we are all americans, we better fight together. general, thank you. i appreciate your expertise. general richard newton, i enjoyed talking to you, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, arthel. ♪♪ 's

millions of kids prepared to head back to school and classrooms soon, schools across the country are facing a shortage of teachers. national education association says more than half of the nation's teachers plan to leave the profession sooner than expected. 90% expanding some type of covid burnout because of the pandemic. one teacher recently henderson, former ninth grade social studies teacher in utah. scott, was it like for you? >> the last straw for me was

basically the student's behavior getting worse and worse going into covid and kids who spent a couple of years basically not in an educational setting and then come back and they've lost a lot of their social skills. you add that onto everything else teachers are expected to do and it's the straw that breaks the camels back. i know a number of teachers like i can't do this anymore, there's just way too many things for me to do. you have dwindling support from administrations, from parents, some administrations don't inherently want to not support the teachers but they have more and more things to deal with with more disciplinary actions, more and more policies, procedures getting thrown out.

it's a future that over the years we've continually been like teachers can become the social workers for the kids, the teachers can do this and teachers can do that. we kind of taken it on and like we are here because we want to help these kids but every time there's something going on there likes we can push that towards the education system and all these teachers, they can handle it, they love kids and they'll do great. some time there's too much and i think that's where covid came in, it's not necessarily covid's problem or fault, it was just that last thing for all of us like we've got too much on our shoulders, we've allowed the education system to continue because we don't have a true

goal of what education is supposed to turn out. eric: the great resignation and a lot of industries, how can this be addressed? teachers other heroes, they should be paid more than they are and appreciate it more than they are, what would you like to see changed? >> i would like to see the districts start off with having actual clear goals that are measurable. this is what a high school graduate should be able to do when they come out of school and a middle school will have. that way we have the goals to say what you are asking us to do is outside of the scope of what we are creating for our end result. in business you have a product you are creating, education they are just like teach them a bunch of stuff. look at the product, what skills

they should have that is measurable and we can say that's outside our scope. we need to push it somewhere else instead of putting more on educators. give them more pay, they will just give them more stuff to do but you already have more stuff than most can handle. eric: they are not keeping up the teachers and inflation about the teachers need to support them. thank you for speaking out. the situation we are facing as we head into a new school year soon. weeks will be right back. ♪♪
