that's mike martin from kings college funding . really appreciate your time. i think he said as well, the destruction of the nova can hold down and ukraine has caused severe flooding along the new pro river and areas near the black sea. the region is home to some of the country's most fertile agricultural land, and many farms are threatened by the flooding, dw correspondence on your phone. the car sent us this report from a village in the middle life region. the village of bob little money on the go. in southeastern ukraine. it was bombarded heavy leaves all still but occupying russian forces, leaving mines and explosives everywhere. no southern flooding has severed bubble supplies, and cutoff entire areas. the destruction of the gulf of them has affected police is much further away. sure. in the michel live region, meet agricultural area, water levels and who lets river have risen dramatically. and that has an immediate impact on farms here. there's only one way to get around the village, the, the, the that was awesome. the, the water smells chemical. it's re

but to see you there, mike martin just described the effectiveness of a tax liking for the. how was such a tax justified back in russia? well, there's no need for justification for boots, and he just does what he does. the interesting thing for me is that because he's is the birthplace of presidents, loved emails and asking he was born there and 1978, so it may be symbolic strides. but then again, it's a major industrial city, it's a bundle of the capitals of ukrainian battelle over to, so there may be some kind of see it, right, because of reasons behind it. but that's all, think reasonable office. i agree with mister mazda and i think that's the, the, the bulk of the thinking behind this, this struggling is extra, just scaring the population into submission. and i think it's interesting. monday was russia day, the country's national day. and president putin said that this is a difficult time, but appealed to russians. patriotic pride, and how, how much longer are russians going to accept the costs of this war? well, it may take a long time. uh, the costs are still fairly l

for more we can speak now to mike martin. he is a senior fellow at king's college in london and a former british army officer mister martin. welcome back to the w, and you brings defense ministry, and claiming ukrainian forces are increasing offensive operations and making games . but suggesting that some of the russian announcements are this information, how are you reading the situation? i think i think there's 2 things going on. on the crate inside. they are actually announcing things off to they've already happens. so if they say that they are increasing offensive operations, that means 3 days ago, they started increasing their funds so fractions. and on the russian side, the russians have a real problem in that, as well as i think square you tried me, or rather, the russian freedom legion is, is on russian territory and taking russian villages. so russia is talking about anything except for the incursions into his own territories. so that's how i read both the crating and the russian statements. we have been talking abou

i mean, maybe for me, just after i ask military analyst mike martin from kings college london, how he views the progress ukrainian forces say that making. i think the reason ukraine is sightseeing, you know, towns and villages settlements is taken back is it's, it's a very easy metric to communicate to his west and boxes that progress is being made . but in minute 3 times, what ukraine is trying to do is to get behind the russian defenses and then to cost the russian lines and logistics. so in the west, for example, when the, as long as it was talk like the reason that doing that, just because it's a railway junction and they may not even take talk might, they may just around it and continue. and this is because logistics and costing the russian logistics is really the main thing that they're trying to achieve at this stage be offensive. but how strong is the russian defense considering they've had months to prepare for this kind of offensive? this is a really great question because i'm sure some of your views have seen all the satellite images is multi layered bushing defensive lines

mike martin is a war studies senior fellow at kings college london and i asked him how substantial the gains you credit claims to have made actually our so i, i think the ukranian progress over the last week has been pretty impressive. i'm. ready well, the guy, not the games as some the russian defensive lines, the been 6 months in the making. and so my area is, uh, you know, 5 or 6 layers, deep of tanks and dragon's teeth. and then the mind fails and changes with the russian soldiers and, and so as well as the fact that you claims to be quite capital with its soldiers. by some accounts they liberated more territory in the last 10 days. then the russians took a uh, the hold of 2023, which is is a so i $22.00. yeah, 2023 items on your site, which is fairly impressive. another interesting because that seems to be that they appear to be focusing on different parts of ukraine on the do not see, and not for region of regions by moot, that doesn't seem to be a single point of focus. do you see that as part of the strategy? oh, absolutely. so you kind of pushing forward on 3 front sides, se o

martin. bill. yeah all right, mike, we're heading for the weekend now. tomorrow, friday. and it looks warmer.emperatures today were a little bit warmer, warmer still tomorrow. this is the trend. we've been talking about it all week, especially since the last few weeks have been below average, kind of foggy, a little drizzly. last weekend, for instance, this weekend, not the case. this weekend is going to be pretty nice. one thing it does change, though, there see this kind of arching here? that's a ridge. but watch what happens when we get down towards saturday, sunday, right here, monday. see that guy right there? see that? that's an opportunity for some unsettled, cool weather next week. so it looks like monday, tuesday, next week, this low starts to develop and we get back into the kind of pattern that we've just come out of and are going to stay out of for the weekend. so the weekend is going to be nice, just so you know. but i just wanted to show you that little fly in the ointment because definitely well, if that happens, it definitely would infer and be scattered showers, thunderstorms

martin. hey, bill. hey mike. yeah, that's usually how it works. the high is coming back.his low has been the dominant feature for the all of winter. almost most of spring and now early summer. it's been in and out. now it's on its way out. it's going to drift off to the east. we're going to get those high build in and we get a typical summer weather pattern, maybe a little little warmer than typical. but the first real warm-up we've had. so it's going to be a real kind of whiplash event because we haven't really experienced temperatures in the 90s or low 100. you know, in a while for any length, and that's going to happen as we go into this weekend. we're going to have inland valleys mid-nineties upper 90s in the central valley , low 100. so it's going to get hot and fire danger will come up. air quality will come down, won't be as good. the marine layer is still thick. it's up over a couple thousand feet deep . so it's going to be some fog tomorrow morning. but as we head into friday's saturday and sunday, the marine layer is going to get stuck right at the coastal secti

martin. hey, bill. hey, mike. yeah, it's interesting how really the last few months we haven't really been sweating the fire thing. but as we move forward here, we will be sweating the fire thing because we're going to get back into the heat the lower humidities, lower fuel moisture. this low is provided us with a bit of a respite from the severe fire danger, but not this weekend. we're going to get into typical summer weather pattern that will deliver temperatures into the mid 90s, upper 90s in our inland bay valleys and that will also add 100 and 102, 103 degree temperatures to the central valley. so this high builds in the pacific high. it's back. it does. what none of this is unusual. it's what's unusual is how long we went without it. and now the it's going to be like getting the bends or whiplash because we're going from a really mild weather pattern to some real heat. so there is a heat advisory that's going to go in effect for parts of the bay area as we head into this weekend. and a lot of it has to do wi

martin. hey bill. yeah. hey, mike. yeah, listen, this is going to feel like summer. that's it.ing to get to 100 degrees. it should have been to 100 degrees by now in the inland bay valleys. it has. and this will be some of the first. so we've been very cool. right. and now we're going to get to where we should be. so let's not create something that isn't that makes and make it unusual. it's not unusual. it's exactly what it's supposed to happen. what's unusual is that this trough has been lingering and when it lingers, we get this cool pattern. but if you look here on about wednesday night into thursday morning, you see that, right? so there's that rotation. i don't know if you can see it, but you can see my hand and what we've had all summer and spring is this. and so this is going that way and it'll cause severe weather out in the plains, out in the intermountain region. but for us, we start to warm up again. typical summer pattern, nothing unusual. what's unusual is that it hasn't been here. temperatures tomorrow warm a little bit. temperatures next day warm a little bit mor
