so the service key will be assuming the position in order to do what's to lansky sizes without any conflict between the lensky and the how to of the, the chief of staff. therefore, i think on the one hand his experience um, i am being creative more soviet minded general, as well as the fact that he is much more willing to do what the lensky says makes him ideal in order to avoid conflict. that being said, he is not well liked and amongst the population, and he's not well liked amongst the trips and given the situation and remains questionable how much change he can bring in those moreno moran from the worst studies department at kings college london. thank you. so much for those insights. thank you for having me. on the quick look at some of the stories making headlines around the world today. and talk us on jail, former prime minister and run con and his rival novice tree has both claimed victory and the general election independent candidates backs by con, one the most sees but theresa muslim league emerge. the biggest single party boat counting is still underway after an election mars by

well, that's easy, suddenly become concerned with the lives of your soldiers, the same soldiers the lansky has asked to, uh, in the hundreds of thousands for his western partners. this mike wash and munich, but it certainly doesn't in moscow. but as the last of the day, i'm not sure who it is important to save our people. this is the most important task for us. we take care of our people from our warriors because this is protection. no, not because of this because the president and he's can know how to fly totally for big money, which go straight into the pockets and only against civilians. nothing else matters to them. ukraine's new commander alexander c. escape gave to come on to a tree after ukrainian forces began to flee their positions, leaving any hopes of an early symbolic victory for the new commander. smoldering in the rouble alongside large amounts of western supplies, hardware sales of ukrainians, died due to this decision. one, his predecessor mother, he's a lose me how to allegedly suggested take place months earlier, because most of most of the subject of the order of the ukr

had this nagging fear in the back of my head that this saying would happen in kiev and president lansky would also listen to advice from the likes of boris johnson, other western leaders and leave. yeah, i couldn't write. i want actually just take us to a beginning scene in your book. um, so it's february third, 2022 before this invasion and you go to a meeting with president former president poroshenko who calls you for an interview and he describes some changes political, changes that are happening, unity that, you know, was not possible in the months preceding this. and when you switch off your and you shake his hand, he leans, lowers his voice. what does he tell you and what's going through your mind? yeah. so there was an interview that was supposed to happen many days later and all of a sudden i've got a call saying, come, now's the time. and former president poroshenko, you know, he was and remains a very bitter political rival of president zelensky. uh, and yet in those days, he said that correctly, that if you look at ukrainian history in the past several centuries, every time

while the ukrainian conflict drugs on the presidency, lansky is also facing a bottle within his own rags. author's southern visit from america is victoria and milan. now the ukrainian leader confirmed for the 1st time that he's considering replacing is on for his commander in chief, haven't listened to his plans for a shake up a default, a set of miles a request. there was much talk about the role of the commander of the armed forces general's illusion and his possible removal fact. okay. so, and it's a police concerns the people who need to crane a reset and a new beginning are required. and not only in the military sphere, it's true. i am thinking about a replacement, this issue concerns the entire management group that drives the whole country. you'll still reflecting ukrainian president. one of them is the lead scheme come, audrey and chief other reason recently have been that long as for months that spot, but when it became clear that you credit is much higher, would it come to offensive had failed. just like in the 1st world war, we have reached the level of technology that puts us

yeah, back in 2022 funnel arrived at the invitation of the lansky. unbundle can literally see i to i with a many things just don't mention the oppression of the press on a string of human rights abuses by the regime there. but it was born a so called poll about ukraine that really stole the show and st. patrick's day. prepare the sick bags. i got this message this morning from bonham. and most of us were always whether we're in ireland or here, whatever it is. of i know has been a very irish part of our lives. and he said, and they struggle for us to be free from the psycho and this human family. a ireland sorrow and pain is now the ukraine. and saint patrick's name is now. so in ski, so it's, it is sad maelstrom strides nancy pelosi, who we told you last night is among many other things. a military strategist. today, she may have unveiled the most powerful weapon in her armament, which he sending directly to ukraine. now was not a missile sought an anti tank, stay here. it's not a mic. it's a palm bono. love you too well took across it quite rightly ridicule the st. patrick's day cr

a reminder here that lansky using of what russia is willing to khalil us to throw into the fight hereing that many felt might've been dogged by former president trump's comments about the integrity of nato. now, simply fueled by the clarity of the threat russia poses both when ukraine's front lines and to its own dissidence after death of alexey navalny back to nick paton walsh for us there in munich. thank you so much joining us now is general david petraeus, former cia director and former commander of us central command. general. good morning to you. i want to come back to him good in just a moment, but i want to start with this meeting that i've been told this happening right now between president zelenskyy and vice president harris and all the uncertainty ukraine funding is uncertain. funding for israel and for taiwan are uncertain burton, a former president, trump wins the election in november. us commitment to these multilateral security organizations like nato, is uncertain if the job of the us delegation is to provide that certainty and reassurance a much can she offer in this

you saw the arrival of the new york mob represented by meyer lansky and it's associate bugs is siegel. and they plowed their money into buying the l cortez hotel and they used it almost like a training ground oh, my gosh, so fascinating, uh, vegas, the story of sin city premiers tomorrow at ten only on cnn the greatest stage >> time where you ground stop cbs mucinex night shift, but your worst nighttime symptoms. so you can get to sleep and wake up, ready to go? wake up to a new youth with mucinex night. it's not clear. >> lucid. >> it's always come back season >> his bob dark, holding back all your ambitions all in one, low fixed rates borrow up to 100 keg, no fees required. so phi get your money right? >> everyone sees >> meanwhile, at a vrbo when other vacation rentals are just for likes, try one, you'll actually like the edge and rash of moderate to severe eczema >> disrupts my skin night and day. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now i have revoke run vote is a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash of eczema fast some are invoked. patie

for the news that has shopped so many here in the florida, me as a lansky ukraine's president's last meeting that all shows invalid earlier today. and he will travel to munich to speak to the conference tomorrow. and yes, with use of no problem these that we'll definitely overshadow what's happening here in unix. all right, thank you stuff. i'll send reporting for us from munich and stuff was just referring to the ukranian president followed him or is the landscape who's just spoken. in fact, a press conference about in have all these death. here's what he had to say. the shooting, the style of the domain uh shows that us we have just learned is the chancellor has said that look seen of only died in a russian prison. obviously he was killed by proteins like thousands of others who have been told mean did you, i can torture because of this one person who doesn't care who dies is as long as he retains his possession. and that is why he must not keep anything in the food and must lose everything sweet. they must not retain anything and must be held accountable for what he has done. earl

kupiansk, the lansky visited today. that's potentially next it's in the crosshairs, robatina, down in zaporizhzhia, a tiny village, a key gain though in the summer counter offensive that looks horrible. areas around bakhmut remember that from may last year, the russians took that after a similarly bloody campaign to that which they inflict on that okay. areas around bakhmut look vulnerable as do other couple of points along the eastern front lines. so a very nervous ukraine, the lack of western aid, his head hit morale. it's hit ammo supplies, and now it seems to be allowing a resurgent russia to get its foot forward on the front line here. but the noises you may be hearing around me here just emblematic because of what ukrainians are living with daily. this is not vice president kamala harris hinted in munich at the weekend, a time for political gainmanship. it's a really serious life from death thing every hour here. >> we're seeing the results of that, nick. thank you. be careful >> go ahead of next night, wisconsin

the lansky has changed the commander of the forces. so i think that the russians are sensing here is that there is a reservations within the government and the military um ukrainian troops are exhausted and then we're all is not as high as it was at the very beginning of the war. and they also lack artillery shells, meaning that they will try to push in or to, to break. and according to what the russians were saying, the capability of the ukrainian armed forces to offer any resistance. so we might not see very fast advances. it might be slow, however, the idea is to grind the ukrainian military, so a big win for russia. but are you saying that this one dramatically reshape the conflict in any way? and no, that's not what i'm saying. what i'm saying is that it has many meanings, this victory for russia. it will help improve its positions, and it opens up and wait for a western offensive. so not having a div cranbrook mode, the russians can sort out their logistics and they can develop their offensives in different directions. now having
