suffered setbacks, some russian voices on the airwaves, and online have grown more critical, not of latimer putin that comes with consequences, but of the russian military, these aren't anti war voices. for the most part, those have been silenced. the pro war putin faithful, are now grappling with defeats. they never expected to see russian troops in retreat from towns likely mon. inside the annexation zone, the generals taking the flak are getting it from some public figures who carry considerable cloud on line loyalists on usually subservient state television channels are echoing route and military bloggers go to sources for russians, trying to find more authentic reporting from the battlefield. or painting a picture that's everybody's bleak. the angle of this story that has not drawn enough attention, the nuclear one and putin's refusal to take that option off the. our starting point this week is moscow. if you're a russian in a state controlled new studio these days, you were advised to choose your words very carefully. of son of can offer i to him, which doesn't allow, but at them, lou did.

for the destruction of that criminal bridge, others have said this was a desperate attempt by latimer putin who, seeing that he is maybe not progressing in the war as much as he wants. others have said that this has been a very carefully planned attack for months. what's your assessment of the nature of these recent attacks? all 3 assessments are too, because of things like that and they are planned before, but they are not done. so just to the very decision to use these rocket for ad taro am has to be prepared. but on just after the crimea bridge, there was at the point when they really did it, then m retaliation is so i think it's the will, the key word because of things changed after the crimea bridge. and it's completely different from what happened at the beginning of the war, because at that moment it was kind of a deterrence, her all and shocked, targeted toward your queen in civil civil society, ukrainian population and ukrainian government just give up. and now i don't really think that the kremlin, suppose that the russian or the you couldn't, and government will change its course

and they're out there on twitter saying that this is a great gift latimer putin, just the day after his 70th birthday. so there was saying that they wish that more such incidents would occur basically more terrorist attacks on russian soil. and we even, we had countries like stoney and poland officials, they're saying that they applaud ukraine. they were looted already, that it was ukraine, responsible and applauding them for it. and now ukraine's a former prime minister took it a step further, and he's encouraging for terrorist attacks, such as what we saw on the crime in bridge to happen in places like moscow. i've seen that the ukraine media that created the media report that the this is the security service of ukraine. well, i don't know whether it's true or no, but what am i am sure about that? these bridge has to be completely on the mind collapsed and damaged. i would be delighted to you for those who committed these kind of right full. i would see, act up sabotaged. ah, they will do the same in russia. i mean, in the moscow, if a terrorist attack happened in any other country, n

just as latimer putin has done when it comes to energy prices. thank you gentlemen. very, very provocative. a christian which a, you know, a pick of ledger over and sitting go had the, with big showed me where it is, the act of belligerence, period. second to unit is royal highness. so back to your question, yes, i did say we have an open door. we have an open door and waiting for someone to knock on the door of solar can see and you're still not getting any one knocking on that door because a lot of folks would say that by this action, by these case, you are endangering global energy market you are endangering the global economy. what is the response there? so if you could look in our lungs, we are locked and injuring the energy markets. we are providing security stability to the energy market at a price. everything as a price, energy security or the price as well. i mean, and i sort of in, i mean and then nice. and then a back from energy intelligence. so your highness, you've warned many times of the very limited and tight spare capacity this cut that happened tod

but latimer putin has asked the government to settle. let's take lessons please dream village and the species. it's not only specialized law enforcement agencies, but also the entire or state system as engaged in resolving issues to facilitate the special military operation that we need to continue working on improving coordination. to this end, i'm instructing the government to prepare re draft presidential decree on the creation of a special coordinating council, which will be led by the russian prime minister. and this comes as were seen an escalation on the battle ground, especially in the city of san where there anticipating a large scale offensive. and right now, tens of thousands of people are being relocated to other areas that they're not in harm's way as they're preparing ukrainians. to launch their massive attack. and of course we heard on tuesday from the commander of russia, special military operation. they're saying that ukrainians are willing to resort to anything including lethal weapon. so it's very important right now t

that ukraine this morning saw their energy, military and communications facilities targeted and latimer, putin said, if you take russia, get ready to be attacked back. that was the main message i spoke earlier with canadian jonas if a bartlett who has been in the don't escrow public actually since march, she gave us her take on today's missile strikes on key f. the russian leadership have been the cool that's, i mean we've seen people been saying, why hasn't russia retaliated for months now, right. and particularly since the territory of the bridge, then there was a lot of people asking what's gonna happen next. but i mean, i really feel like i'm here and done. yeah, i'm in the john bout people here. i've been saying for over 8 years and why, when is it enough? when you print stuff showing us and russia, the russian leadership did push for negotiations and they all right, until the session military operation began. there were options for kids to take a peaceful route and they because of their backers, because there are literally didn't take those options. people and you pray must be clarified

it's greatest risk of nuclear armageddon since the 1962 cuban missile crisis. russia, president, latimer putin, has made threats to use tactical nuclear weapons in ukraine. bite inside, put in a serious about using nuclear warfare and the face of russia military setbacks still ahead on al jazeera, israel reject changes lebanon requested to address the agreement on a controversial maritime border. also car hopes that the world cup will promote better mental health through physical fitness. ah, anticipation is rising and so is the atmosphere. you read? i went to my castle anyways. well, we've got a typical hot weather pattern across the islands of ireland and britain. hi everyone. here's the details on fridays. so wet and windy conditions, but this is below warning criteria. so it's not going to be awful, but it's also not going to be pleasant either. these winds are curling around, coming out of the southwest, so that pops up the temperature in london to 10 degrees, which is above average for this sum. you're still flood warnings in play for that western side of norway on friday. you know, anyw

what's your take on how serious latimer putin is? well, we don't. first of all, it is very dangerous. it does as the people of ukraine and as the people of europe who have been disrupted by it. but the reality is, you can't put a percentage on risk, but we know the vladimir putin has nuclear weapons. we know that he's willing to use force to achieve his goals, and he's fully capable of launching nuclear weapons. and so the risk is not 0. and therefore, we have to take it seriously. fortunately, inside any administration, there are professionals who work these issues, both in the military and in the civilian side that think through. what are the threats? is the united states, if insecure, our allies safe and secure, and more importantly, how do we deter enemies from doing things that we don't want them to do? we can deter them by denying them the benefits they might seek to achieve or by punishing them to such an extent that they never benefit from their attacks. obviously, what we'd like to do is be so effective. it determined that they never even t

the latimer putin said that the world is becoming increasingly multi polar, but some are trying to hold on and hang on to their what he called, diminishing leadership resorts into whatever they can just to make sure they hang onto that spot. including using ukraine as a tool against russia. he warned that the potential for conflict in the region and around the world remains quite high. and that ukraine was basically turned into a training ground for biological weapons. and now it's also being armed and pumped off with more and more weapons. and he also added that there is a black market for weapons being formed in ukraine and weapons such as missiles, as well as my presentation weapons could fall into the wrong hands into dangerous hands. and he also add that, that the international community has been observing direct acts of sabotage and not doing anything about it. and also have seen that not only are they not doing this in about it, but in some cases we've seen international players support that rhetoric. so those were his later statements regarding ukraine losing sovereignty ends be

again with latimer putin, as he implemented a decision by key is national security council. to that effect, putting a decree in motion or correspondent maria phenomena can tell us more about all of today's developments, though, she reports from the russian center. i truly historic day has the federation council, the at the house of the russian parliament has ratified its riches. on the accession of the foreign, your regions to the russian federation. the documents will now have to be signed by president pointing hand. we know his opinion on that issue. before the valid rush is foreign minister said again lavoie gave an emotional speech before the senators here at the federation council. he stressed that joy in russia was the will of the people on the ground following 8 long years of bombardment and open oppression from here. that the west very much supported. but what you will, you to probably in the care of regime has been deliver leo, pressing the russian speaking citizens of ukraine and the residents of the don. that's can lugens people's republics who refused to recogniz

that in crane this morning saw their energy, military and communications facilities targeted and latimer, putin said, if you attack russia, get ready to be attacked back. that was the main message, the better russian president, alexander lucas shanker, has said that his country will deploy a joint group of military forces with russia. these forces have been formed over the past 2 days. the group mainly consists of bella, lucy, and soldiers. we were warned that key of has been planning to attack bela lucy and territory. it would be crazy from a military perspective for them to open the front against bella. ruth. but that process has already begun, considering that the threat level has comes to that this requires deployment of a joint group of forces of the union state of russia and bella, ruth flemister, and suggested that the troops coming from russia would not be significantly large. but i did, it would be quote, not a 1000 troops insisted that it would still be enough to tackle the threat against his country and also ordered the nation secret service, whatever it takes to prevent a quote, ter

. >> let's start with latimer putin talking hard to tapered. >> they will protect our land b all forces in means we have. we will do everything to provid a severe this is the great liberation mission of our people . >> president lincoln but that doesn't mean that's what's going on right now. he has asserted control on the ukrainian territory. i think we need to remain. >> went a world leader speaks there are many audiences, allies , adversaries, even a domestic audience, is that message primarily for the russian people? >> you know, i think there is a mix of messages. when you talk about this trend and the tension around, but i think there is a clear message to the united states and that this annexation is making the conflict with russia more dangerous for it. >> the latest steps they are taking in terms of those new sanctions. >> the biden administration isn't worried. and an announcement of couple hundred different 109 members o the 169 members. those individuals now have in addition to that, the treasury department is housed by 14 different companies. and they are taking really aggre

there are people who are worried that if latimer putin falls for the stretch we go into world war iii. and there will be nuclear annihilation. i do not mean to the little desk but this is not the only way this could go, right? what is the least that can happen. what will the u.s. reaction be? >> sir, first, we will say that this is not probable. it is not even likely. there are formidable barriers to nuclear use. there is no real military utility to them. this will not win the war for you. here is what putin is thinking. he has the means to do that with those 6000 weapons. about 2000 or so are tactical weapons that could be fitted on the iskander missile, for example. it could be used to attack ukraine or targets in new nato or europe. he has the method to do this. russian military doctorate says that they will use nuclear weapons first if there is a conventional attack on russia or russian territory. he has just declared that ukraine portion that he occupies is russian territory. finally, of course, he has the motive to do it. he is losing this war. the russian army looks very fragil

there are win these major games and what we see is latimer putin lashing back and flying rockets in the residential areas and he's been targeting the infrastructure, so last night keyboards for the first time in months pitch black and totally dark. people here are told to conserve energy, turn their lights off. or as one government official said. they will have to break out the candles. so this is certainly a city a, country that is continuing to deal with the russian army. which in many ways is incompetent on the battlefield but it doesn't make a difference to how deadly that they can be because again these rockets continue to fall across ukrainian cities. katie. >> cal perry please stay safe and we appreciate you reporting for us. so now to iran where four prisoners were killed and 61 injured after a huge fire broke out at the notorious evan prison in tehran. according to state media of the city's governor says the fire has been contained and was started by prisoners. here you see video of a huge plume of dark smoke coming from the prism that holds hundreds of dissented and political

meeting and at the ukraine working group is how to help ukraine when this war, without provoking latimer putin into the use of nuclear weapons. just foreign minister, sarah gala from says moscow is open to talk with the west on the ukraine war, but there's been no serious proposals to negotiate in an interview on state tv. labrat said russia was willing to engage with the united states with turkey, always to end the conflict. he also indicated that russia would not turn down a meeting between presidents, flooded mir person and job by then. it comes the head of excellence g 20 summit on the indonesian island of bali to lead us held their last face to face meeting at a summit in geneva. last year. russian president vladimir putin, his health, also the head of the u. n. nuclear agency, though in st. petersburg i. e, a chief rafael grossi was there to discuss the situation around ukraine's for region nuclear power plant, which has repeatedly come on the shelling bit and told him he was open to dialogue on the plan, which is currently in russian control territory in southern ukraine. and he acknowl

we're personalizing the issue as if latimer putting is the only problem. sure putin is in control of his country and government. but even if it were someone else would, the next russian leader have invaded ukraine, much like now justified by claims that it was vital for russia's national security in the west. we tend to mirror image thinking other nations will think and act like we do. but the truth is that putting doesn't see the world, the same as joe biden, and biden doesn't see the world the same as the landscape regardless of how and when this war ends. it won't be pretty because war almost never brings about clear cut solution to these conflicts of interest. and that's the bottom line. ah, in these turbulent times, up front returns for a new season. join me, mark them on hill as we take on the big issues. they are literally being turned back. how is this not a contravention of international law? this is exactly the place for us to interrogate people about issue that matter from the state of democracy around the world to the struggles faced by the under represen
