i am joined now by mike martin, a senior fellow in war studies at kings college in london. mike, thank you so much for joining us to share your expertise on what were your thoughts when you heard this announcement? these words from the nato secretary general. i think we have to see this as signaling as your correspondence laid out very well. nobody's going to be joining night in the middle of a war. and so what this is, is signaling to russia just to reinforce, once again, that the rich countries of the world. so in a fight in this case by night, are completely behind ukraine. this is, this is several years off. you don't have a country like ukraine with all of the problems have, is russia joining night so quickly? you do it very slowly because you're, it's a big shift in the g. a strategic situation. nice in europe. you want to do that at a time of pace and very carefully. what do you think? so in terms of, you know, what the nato secretary general is signaling right now to ukraine, which very much wants to be come a member of the alliance. yeah, well gen the general nice.

ok, that was mike martin from kings college in london. there mike, many, thanks. thank you very much. ok, he's a quick recap now of the top story that we are following for you at this hour. china has launched in 3 days of military drills around taiwan, the defense ministry in time. i said the drills threaten regional stability and security. now they come after a visit by taiwan. president sy, in when to the us where she met house. because kevin, the coffee and an italian tourist has been killed and several others wounded in a car rounding attack in tel aviv israel has tightened security and cold on reserve is as violence in the region escalade. and you're up to date up next on the w is sports life which profiles one of the world's best skateboarders. she's just 15 years old and we're all set to go beyond the citizenship. and then we're all in as we take on the we're all about the stories that matter to.

let's speak with mike martin, a former british army officer. now with kings college london. mike. so ukraine, obviously, deeply unhappy about this. can you tell us what this is going to mean for ukraine with russia in charge of setting the agenda? i think the best way of looking at this is that over the last year they have been to, to was a one is war rhetoric and the other is a war that's actually being fought on the ground over territory. and as we've seen a little here that has been a lot of rhetoric, there's been lots of talk with nuclear weapons. there's been lots of talk of all sorts of things and most of them haven't come to pass. so if i were you crane, of course they have to protest about this, but i don't think it will amount to very much on the ground, which is where the real fight is being for. so you see this as largely symbolic, not something that will have actual implications on the battle ground. that is correct. so for example, you know, russia can set the gender of the security council, so they might bring emotion that is in their favor. but there are other, you

we're joined now by mike martin, senior fellow in war studies at kings college london are mike, when you look at it, practically, what difference are the megs likely to make in the war? so things like fight the jets are not decisive in a war like the kind of war the we're seeing in ukraine. i'm what we're going to see from the ukrainians over the next few months is a large ground offensive. and what fight suggests to the role that they play in that they enable the ukrainians to hate targets to mon logistics behind the front of the russian lines, which enables that ground offensive to get away more easily. so that's the role that like like. so what do you make of the commitments that you have been seeing from ukraine's western partners than and also you know, what you've been making of what ukraine wants, which is f sixteens right now. so i was actually testing out yesterday this morning, the weapons deliveries that you guys received over the last year. and they're looking over $300.00 tanks that they have either had pledged or received and several 100 infantry fighting vehicles, as w

i asked mike martin, senior fellow in the department of war studies at kings college, london. what these videos say about the kremlin control over its troops are, they very clearly says that the claimant doesn't have full control over its shapes . and of course, not all of the russian troops in ukraine are actually russian military. there's also mercenaries and those chechen militias and, and none of these work very well together. so, overall, ukraine, sorry, russia does not have very good control over streets. what do you think would drive a soldier to commit such an act? all war crimes are different, but i think there's basically 3 categories if you like, do they fall into there's those that are directly commission by the state of the state orders it so just to go and commit war crimes. i don't think that's what's happening here. at the other end. there is a situation where the state has no control really over its troops. and i think that's what's happening here. and then there's a 3rd category, and that is where the state russia, in this case, creates a narrative about its

martin. we get although there was that blanket of fog hugging the gate today, and even tonight, there it is right now, miketh towers peeking through the marine layer is pretty shallow, so it's not pushing inland. it's really having trouble getting over to berkeley. tonight will probably be there in the morning, but it's going to stay low to the ground, and so it's not getting into the east bay or parts of the north bay, certainly or into the south bay. really so it's really a coastal phenomenon and so temperatures inland warm again tomorrow. tomorrow's gonna be the warmest day of the week by a couple of degrees. i suspect and then i'll just cool down a little bit after that, so here's the story. we've been warming up. tomorrow temperatures peak and then we get this. i showed you this graphic last couple nights, and it's none of this is earth shattering stop. it's not record heat. it's nothing like that, but it's the first real warm up. we've seen the first nineties we've seen this year and it's the first multiple day of some. you know, this time of year. significant heat well above the average. these are t
