-in 2012, claire saw a chance to make real change.proposed legislation to ban deep-sea bottom trawling. -this was a great opportunity to join forces with other ngos and to push really hard for a deep-sea bottom trawl ban. we are working towards the protection of the deep ocean from desuctive fishing practices. these are industrial ships that have political reach, so they were blocking the whole legislative evolution of europe on this specific issue. -the french fleet was primarily owned by supermarket giant intermarché. their ships were hauling up over 6 million pounds of fish from the deep sea every year. -intermarché was an easy target because they were well-known. they were also the biggest fisher in the deep sea. -claire launched an all-out assault against the supermarket chain. first she waged and won a legal battle against intermarché for false advertising about their sustainable fishing practices. then she ranked supermarkets according to their commitment to sustainable fishing. intermarché came in dead last. -we found out that

claire atkinson is chief media correspondent at insider. help us understand why cnn thought this was a good idea and why it came off the rail so quickly. it's really easy to answer that question, there were two management teams who wanted different things. warner media had wanted to launch the streaming service, they had conceptualized the idea, they brought in all this talent from other networks, spend millions of dollars bringing these people in, all the while you had the management at discovery say, not being able to say rather, that they didn't want this service they didn't see it as viable, they didn't think it would be profitable and they wanted to wrap news into a larger bundle with news, sports, movies and entertainment and it wasn't their vision at all. help us understand. and what this product was well it existed. i'm sitting in the us, and open up my phone on my tv, what do i get? you would get a couple of different things. it was billed as a little bit more lifestyle. it wasn't necessarily the breaking news that you would see on

claire, what do you think?nage to just have a 7-hour blank. >> it's a strategically beneficial period of incompetence, i guess. >> someone was told -- i think they have already said publicly that things started changing around january 4 as the 6th approached, and that all the information was not getting through. but to have that blank period -- yeah, and they know some, but it definitely is something i would want to talk to a jury about. once again, if you're listening at doj, this is another piece of evidence that jurors would find compelling. >> correct me if i'm wrong, but they only have these catwalks because the supreme court ruled that they sort of have all this to pore over. i imagine this sort of look under the hood is going to turn up a lot of things that are this -- what congressman raskin described as sort of the stew of incompetence meets lack of ethics meets disdain for the white house records act meets what he's alluding to, a question of whether or not it was deliberate. >> the problem is because

claire, you and your teammates said, we can't turn away great to play for peace and that was rejectedschool board, why? >> yeah, so we originally said that we wanted "pray for peace. but it actually wasn't the word pray but the fact that peace is political. >> carley: how was that possible, clear that peace is political? >> i don't know. i can't believe the interim superintendent actually said that peace is political because peace comes from war. and war is about people with different views. and my response to that would be could someone please let the jews that hitler had a different view than they had appeared and could someone let the ukrainians know that putin has a different view than they have. it defies all logic. >> carley: this is so wild, elise, what are your teammates and high school thing about this and your other teammates? >> well, the team was pretty upset. all we were trying to do is spread a positive message here that was really our only to intention. i had people stop me in the hallway and say what are we doing? and so the community feedback has been great. >> carley

for more let's bring in claire sebastian in london. claire, what more can you tell us about this large fire in bryansk? >> reporter: it came in nine hours ago. emergency services were said to be heading to the scene. the region is about 100 miles or even less from the ukrainian border near the regions. it is very close to the conflict there. there have been no reports of casualties. no explanation to the cause, but it is confirmed by the local emergency's ministry according to russian state media, state news agency as having hit the fuel tank there. clearly we're looking at a potentially very large fire. the russian investigative committee, a sort of top federal investigative unit in russia, they are said to be launching an investigation. they have been ordered to do so by the head of the investigative committee who said they should launch a criminal investigation here. that is significant. they are apparently sending a team to the scene of forensic experts and investigators. again, i want to point out the location because it was here

joining the coverage msnbc military analyst four star general barry mccaffrey and claire mccaskill is here. general mccaffrey, when you look at the russian tactics in mariupol where the dominance isn't really in dispute in terms of numbers there's not a fast or short victory. what does that say about the places where the russians so outnumber the ukrainians? >> it's been a surprising level of incompetence. it is hard to understand why the russians want to be balled up in city fighting in mariupol. it's almost imporl to move through rubbled cities. why they didn't encircle it and bypass it is beyond me. they're incompetent at the general level and indisciplined, brutal. use starvation and indirect fires on civilians. they're hoping instability and the fleeing of the civilian population will cause capitulation. now the big battle looms in the near future. the battle not for the donbas but for the survival of the ukrainian army or the russian forces. >> general, the strikes in lviv seem to have two intended consequences. the dearth and destruction and injuries that the strikes themselves

claire sebastian joins us live from london. how do you interpret these images we were sent?well, max, the context of this, the missile launch was not a surprise. the context is a fact that they have taken a reputational hit. putin says this is a missile and there is none like it in the world. take a listen to what he had to say about the launch. >> translator: this truly unique weapon has the combat potential of our armed forces and relies on supporting our government. >> this is a missile capable of carrying a warhead. the u.s. canceled their icbm testing because of the current political situation. >> it might not go as well as possible in ukraine but we have this ultimate threat? or is it a message to the west saying we could counter attack? that's the way he sees it? >> both. it's something we're seeing from putin and recently he is tailoring his message to the russian people. we are still a military to be reckoned with. that's what military experts are saying. you can sanction us, isolate us, we have this powerful military and we have a nuclear weapon that can reach the

claire, how is the european commission responding to this? >> very strong language about this, she called it blackmail, provocation. her comments had really two audiences. on the one hand, trying to reassure europe's gas customers that everything was going to be fine this is something that poland and bulgaria echoed today, no immediate disruption, but it was also a message to russia, she said, this is our -- response, they're already receiving gas from the european neighbors in a clear sign of solidarity. part of the strategy is not only to deploy its most effective economic weapon, but also potentially another page out of its typical playbook to reveal divisions in europe, not everyone said they won't pay in rubles. so trying to counter that with this message of solidarity. for its part, the kremlin says this is not blackmail, it said the west and europe brought this on themselves with the sa sanctions. europe was given fair warning and the fact they refused to do this is why it happened today. a clear warning that it could face a severe rec
