thank you, professor michael clark, - that is a war crime.an yesterday. yesterday, we had a weather front draped across scotland and northern ireland. today, that front will still be close by, but this big area of high pressure sitting across the continent, well, if anything, it will tend to push back on it somewhat. so i think across eastern scotland, for example, and perhaps to the east of northern ireland, there will be more brightness around, particularly through the afternoon, and we'll see the cloud eventually, hopefully shifting offshore, allowing some brightness into the western isles for a time. winds picking up across the northwest of scotland, we could see gusts up to a0 miles per hour through the second half of the day. in terms of the temperatures, perhaps a shade down on yesterday highs of nine to ii, the odd spot could get up to 12 degrees. through the evening and overnight, however, we will see some thicker, more meaningful cloud approaching from the west as another area of low pressure starts to take influence on our weather.

clark, u.s. ambassador michael carpenter said today what i was getting at right there that russia probably amasseding almost 200,000 troops in the region. what does this troop level mean to you? >> it means they're fully capable of executing a number of different options or several options simultaneously against ukraine. coming in from the north and attempt to seize, they can launch out of crimea to open up the land bridge and get the water resources. they can invade from the sea or come out of donbas. many options. >> you were nato supreme allied commander for europe when russia invaded crimea and the donbas region in eastern ukraine previously. ukraine said overnight that the shelling has not stopped in the donbas region and it is much more than the back and forth that they kind of have seen for a while now. they're also saying though, that they won't be provoked. at least that's what they're saying. but can they continue to not respond, do you think? >> well, they're going to be patient, i think, president zelensky told us last week that patience and calm is what he's shooting for. and what we

clarke, thanks for coming back. what worries you the most? >> michaelber one, cyberwar against us. and number two, disinformation war, lifting up their dukes to stage violent protests in the united states for masks and vaccines and other excuses. they can attack us in the united states using cybertools. they already have in the past. that list of 16 areas that biden gave them is their target list. you remember when russians allegedly, not the government, russians shut down the colonial gas pipeline, just a few months ago. that's just afore taste of what could happen. >> would it, should it, trigger article 5? >> well, nato has said as recently as this week, the head of nato, mr. stoltenberg has said that it would. the attack on one using cyberwar techniques would be an attack on all. the united states has said, we will consider a cyber attack based on the magnitude of its effects. and we will not necessarily respond to a cyber attack with a cyber attack. our policy, our declared policy is, if it's a big enough attack on us and it hurts us, we will use t

michael? >> some grim days perhaps ahead. alex marquardt in kyiv, thanks so much, my friend. all right. well, c -- cnn military analyst retired general wesley clark joins me now from little rock, in arkansas. he served as supreme allied commander of nato. it is good to see you, sir. from what you are seeing on the battlefield, what do you think is unfolding here? >> well, obviously, the russian' objective is to take kyiv, to displace the government, and to put some kind of a russian-puppet government in place. and then, neutralize the country at least or reoccupy the whole country, do whatever it takes to make sure that it is never part of nato or the european union or western oriented. but as i understand his orders, he wants to clear kyiv. he is raging about neo-nazis and other things, and so, he -- um, this is going to be a very personal campaign for him. and i think, the citizens of kyiv are going to put up a very, very tough fight. the ukraine army is performing brilliantly. they, of course, have no air cover at this point. they have no air defense. they have fought magnificently. they have really sloan wed downe russians, imposed casualties
