all right, let's get some analysis with dmitri stefan, which joins me now from moscow by stripe dimitris. define of, it's welcome to counting the cost. so 1st up, the, the technical challenge with hypersonic weapons is enormous, isn't it? how's russia managed to get ahead of the game here? in russian case we have invested a lot or even during the harshest year, so the 90 to thousands in the strategic weapons. and now it's paid off, while in other countries probably there were not the investments were not as stable as rush in case. and now the important factor is that the, well, we must understand that hypersonic weapons are not but new actual research should date, decades ago. so probably now what we get, what we've got during the last decades last year says that we actually achieve the reliable systems due to materials due to the hardened electronics you to communication. so things like that. why is russia developing this technology? the reason for rapid investments in the of in the vase in sick is actually us withdrawal from the abm treaty to the limit of missile defenses and hyper son

dmitri, great to have you on the show, especially on a day like this. in just the last phi days -- five days, the u.s. state department, t-mobile, polynetwork have all revealed they've been hit by hackers. what must these ceos and the biden administration accomplish starting today? >> well, liz, the problem is so much worse, and it's actually getting worse. not just these companies that you mentioned, but we had four hospital systems hit by ransomware just last week alone, and they were turning away ambulances. criminals, likely from russia, were shutting them down and demanding millions of dollars in ransom. and is with all due respect to tim cook and andy jassy, the fortune 50 company, they're doing really well. they're investing tens of millions of dollars into cybersecurity. you rarely hear about them getting hacked. it's the small and medium businesses around this country, the law firms, the engineering organizations, schools, police departments. these are the people that are getting hit, and they don't have the resources to protect themselves. liz

dmitry had helped build the barricades outside parliament.he coup failed. i felt a great hope for a great new russia, democratic russia. where everyone has the right to influence all the things going on but now i feel that my hope failed. the country is deteriorating, human rights deteriorating. the soviet union is an autonomy. at the time the collapse of the coup was hailed as a victory of people power but in the years that followed, democracy failed to root itself in russia. that is partly because life became so tough here that in the eyes of many russians, the very concept of democracy became discredited. but it is also because for those running russia today, authoritarian rule is back in fashion. this year, the authorities cracked down hard on anti—government protests. and there have been police raids on government critics. so, where does that leave democracy? for many here a distant memory. this monument honours the three men killed in the 1991 coup. there are few visitors. there seems to be little interest in moment in history when russ

as ortiz, dmitri pollock, explains. america is back in vietnam. not exactly the best wording to use, considering its appalling legacy of carpet bombing the country in the sixties and seventies. but vice president, kamala harris's 1st ever plan visit to vietnam, is claimed to have a noble aim. keep in mind the biden harris's administration, main message to the world is not supposed to make you cringe. but really though, can you help it? at least that was the reaction on line vietnam. the nation we destroyed and who is still dealing with the aftermath of our last visit there. kamala is an imperialist, saying, americans back in vietnam, can juris images of b 50 twos, dropping d d t bombs on villages? do you think if camera was off? how many vietnamese civilian and soldier dest america was responsible for over 25 year period. that her guess would be even within a 1000000 of the actual numbers. i mean, seriously, america is back that the wording the u. s. went with when visiting a country, it ravaged with a hideously toxic agent orange in the decades l

assume that you were regarding it as a positive is because your colleague, your ambassador in kabul, dmitry, he said, "the mood in kabul can be described "as one of cautious hope. there was a bad regime "which disappeared. people are now hopeful. "they say it cannot be worse, so it should be better." my colleague, ambassador in afghanistan, has said that these initial hours after taliban has entered kabul, he saw that embassy is safe, that there is order on the roads, but we are still watching what's going to happen. and we have lots of concerns about spill over of terrorists on the territories of neighbouring states in the first place. moscow did for a long time designate the taliban as a terrorist organisation. has that changed ? no. exactly. it is 2003 we designated taliban as a terrorist organisation, which is banned in the territory of the soviet union. and there are lots of reasons for that, because taliban at that time, they were preparing terrorists on their soil and sending them to chechnya. they were supplying chechen rebels and militants with weapons, with money and all of that.

"we're all afraid," dmitri says.cause the situation is unstable. " the danger is real. we pass the prison where opposition activists have been locked up since mass protests last year. but somehow maria kolesnikova is still smiling. the protest leader appeared in court today charged with plotting to seize power. she and a fellow activist are facing 12 years behind bars. maria's father brought her flowers. but had to pass them on via her lawyer. alexander hasn't been allowed to see his daughter for ten months, an extra punishment. and the woman who wanted to change belarus did this dance of defiance. for her dad, it was a chance to smile.
