here to discuss this and more hold interest, let's former director for counter intelligence at the national security councillso served as deputy head of the fbi's office in moscow, also with us, rick stengel, former under secretary of state for public diplomacy. and public affairs in the obama administration. he's also an msnbc political analyst. gentlemen, it's great to have both of you with us. holden, take us through behind the scenes here on how u.s. intelligence agencies are, a, watching the situation unfold. what are they close tracking closely in the hours and days ahead. >> thanks for having me here. i think what they're really focused on right now is trying to understand the behind the scenes, what's going on and what were the intelligence -- the russian intelligence services doing well prigozhin was making his moves towards moscow. there's been a lot of guesswork about was he -- was hidden intelligence failure, did they not see it coming, did they not have the right to outsource to be able to tell that prigozhin was going to do this? or were they allowing that to happen? allowing it to happen beca

joel reuben, former secretary -- holden triplett, former director of counter intelligence for the national security council, and william taylor, former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, an expert panel with us to break it all down. holden, i will start with you, and this new reporting from the washington post that u.s. spy agencies were aware in mid june that prigozhin was plotting a russia uprising. it seems quite remarkable how spot on u.s. intelligence has been throughout almost every stage of this russian war, from anticipating, even before it starts, to perhaps now this revelation from the washington post. what do you make of that development? >> yeah, i think -- denigrate job in terms of -- keeping the penetrations of it that they -- had there -- so they can monitor what's going on at very top level. and as we've seen, putin has very close circle, and so it will be very difficult, at times, to penetrate, that i think to get that type of information. but what i think it tells us is that the u.s. administration -- as they should -- be is highly concerned about what it could mean. i mean, this is not a case w

former senior intelligence officer at cia, responsible for overseeing all of in europe and eurasia. now nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council, nbc nationaly and intelligence analyst as well. -- lessons from the cia. mark, it is said to be, at the moment, wagner is marching from rostov-on-don to moscow. we were showing a mob earlier, which we were discussing. how did you see this happening? what do you think is really happening right now in moscow? >> well i think especially with the announcements from moscow authorities essentially martial law will be declared. we don't know where putin is. i think they're very worried. they're scared. i think that is absolutely because, as i stated earlier, they don't know exactly the degree of support that prigozhin has amongst his russian security services. that's going to be everything. that is the foundation of putin support. and it is clear, as prigozhin is marching towards moscow, that he has co-opted security service units. and so i think there's a lot of fear that the regime is unstable. i would say that my own colleagues, in the intelligence community, they're laser focused on looking at things

on national security, defense and intelligence colonel of the sbu glory to ukraine p novels glory to the heroes good day well, oleksiy danilov, secretary of the national security and defense council said that in this way, by blowing up the dam of the kakhova hpp, russia moved to a new stage of the war, rejecting the propaganda justification of its real goal, that is, the destruction of ukraine. do you think russia will take responsibility for this because they have already started saying that it was ukraine that did it, that it was not them, or that they wanted to blow it up a little, but it turned out so very badly somehow, at the same time, the partisan movement a also announced that it had established who did it and that the responsibility was placed on the first battalion of the 205th motorized rifle brigade, well, because i once assumed some responsibility, we understand, but probably russia is a crime, a real international crime, a crime, a war crime, i understand everything that will have to be held responsible for it. this is a man-made disaster that some specialists have already checked before, let's say, the explosion of an atomic bomb there with a size of 5 from 50 to

what at the time was a tiny, tiny office that reported through a council for intelligence policy to the attorney general. there was no national security division. of the justice department. at that time. there was one small office, probably under 20 lawyers, me as a law clerk a few administrative staff, who were working on counterterrorism, counterintelligence and other national security matters for the department. and so what i experienced that week really was a small number of people who mobilized to work under the existing legal framework which was foreign intelligence surveillance act which we'll spend a lot of time talking about this hour, and trying to operate in what was at the time obviously a crisis environment. and so i saw individuals, a lot of the piece i wrote focuses on how i looked at individuals in leadership positions. how they adapted that week. what it was like for me as a really junior employee at the time. the lowest noren totem pole. watching senior leaders be in charge. watch them at times seem unsettled. and so it was a very different experience from those who watched the event transpire on tv or read

done by the supreme council of cyber ​​space, which is in charge of legislation in the field of artificial intelligence, according to mr. ministry of communications road map nationalment of this technology has been compiled and provided to the policy and decision making centers . the minister of communications and information technology also said that based on the 7th dasham phone program , he will present his program for the maximum use of communication tools and artificial intelligence technology. to be approved by the government, registration of the project in the student section of the 25th khorazmi youth festival has started, education and education has announced that the research and creative students of the second year of high school in sampad and non-sampad schools who have scientific , literary and artistic works can at the end of june 1402, due to the uploading of their works, they should act according to the approved style sheet. according to the changes in the registration conditions, students must carefully read the permanent style sheet of the khorazmi youth festival, especially the fourth, fifth and sixth pages, and then proceed to register. name an

national security council holds the national security deputies and principals meeting, those are traditional national security agencies that you would think about. the department of defense, state, the intelligence committee, the department of justice. what is different when we think about critical infrastructure and defense of kriegel infrastructure is that the agencies who are on the frontline are those sector agencies like tsa, like epa, like hhs, and sisa. as we have been working to achieve president biden's calling to say we need a relentless improvement in cybersecurity of kriegel infrastructure. we need to improve digital infrastructure. that means bridging the communities. briefing individuals that may not have gotten an intelligence briefing before. learning about what elements of a water system are most important to securing that water system? just listening to david today. actually improving cybersecurity on the ground for critical infrastructure where the rubber meets the road. the things you highlighted today -- cross state, cross internationally -- how do we ensure leadership is bought in? i think a big part of government working together has been to say, what is common across? rob

secure a steady supply of arms for its ongoing invasion of ukraine , national security council spokesman john girby said us intelligencey next year. the white house also released satellite images taken in april of an industrial facility several hundred miles east of moscow where it believes a plant is likely to be built. well by the way, the example of iran is vivid , living proof that , regardless of whether there are sanctions, whether there are sanctions, developing drones, attack drones, reconnaissance copters, is not a big problem at all. this is all quite. perhaps even on our own, even without outside support, we somehow have such support. we have partner developments, but what prevents me from repeating this, i’m ready to repeat many volunteer teams in the country that have excellent work projects and combat drones and fpv rolls and reconnaissance drones where are the officials who, according to the logic of things, should come to them friends. here are the places for you. here's your electricity. there you are. what else do you need to buy so that we mass- produce? i don't know there 100.000 drones per month fp

national security agency. yeah. was calling on gchq, the british communications intelligence agency, for the nsa to tap the office and home phones of all the members of the security council. a war of aggression like iraq. that was iraq. and actually, i think the very good movie about her did not bring out the fact that she did succeed in keeping the security council from voting in favour of that war. what i'm saying is that if you put it out in time, you have a chance to do something. she should have been able to stop that war, but blair wouldn't allow that. the flip side of that is if you leak information in real time while conflict is continuing, the danger is you put people's lives in danger. and the us government's case againstjulian assange to this day is that with his leaking of information provided by chelsea manning, a raft of information which we've actually discussed with chelsea manning on hardtalk... good. the accusation remains that theyjeopardised key us national security interests, but they also jeopardised the lives of not just us personnel... i'm smiling because what i'm hearing is "they lied". that's what it's all about. they said at the beginning that

of the federation council valentina matvienko held a meeting of the board of trustees of the national medical research center and almazov opened me here today the artificial intelligence center of sberbank is what we saw and the possibilities of artificial intelligence. of course, this is simply amazing. this is such a real brain, a smart clinic, and today almazov's center, has taken such a new step as a serious powerful step in the medicine of the future and has confirmed its status as the most advanced most modern medical institution. and, of course, hmm, the possibilities that artificial intelligence opens up are not for the sake of some kind of fashion. it absolutely changes the quality of the doctor's work. the most important thing for us bring the solution to market. so we opened the first digital fap in udmurtia and an amazing result, how quickly people learn to use it. uh, quite simple tools with the help of artificial intelligence. what is usually good for users is young people. and here now the tool is so simple that it is primarily used. or aged and it becomes affordable, and the krasnodar territory came to the forum under the motto of investment with a tas

intelligence agencies are actively gathering. now i'm told the white house is actively monitoring the situation, the nashville national security councilsaid, we are monitoring the situation and will be consulting with allies and partners on these developments. now it is important to note, not only what the white house is saying, and what they are not saying right now, is they are not calling this a clue, they are not confirming how serious of a situation this is, and they are not confirming any of the footage that we are seeing right now on the internet. any of that open source intelligence. what i can tell you caitlin, the white house has long been monitoring tensions between the wagner group and the ministry of defense. this is something that they have talked about as early as january, where they called the wagner group a rival center to the russian ministry of defense, all of that is because of the central role that the mercenary group had been playing in russia's war effort so, this is a situation that is going to have so many implications, the war in ukraine, of course, foremost among them, even if you take that out of the pictur

intelligence matter. one element that contribute to the news now that blinken will be going to beijing is two very senior officials from the national security council, the senior most officials did go to beijing yesterday. they what the china and the u.s. called candid and productive discussions. so now we have learned that blinken will be going to beijing in the coming weeks. that is something that is still being worked out. the state department has not officially announced it, but that is what's expected. >> they have been working their way up to this. these pictures, this is the close call between u.s. and chinese warships in the taiwan strait. you recently that interaction with a chinese jet be the american reconnaissance plain. this is the backdrop for this meeting. i wonder how they'll deal with these kinds of things. >> it really is. this plays into specifically the military relationship and how badly that is going between the two countries. this is part of what the white house just yesterday called unacceptable growing aggression by the chinese. in just the past week, we have had these two incidents where a chinese warship cut across in fro

intelligence officials still don't fully understand the wagner chief's intentions. let's bring in retired u.s. colonel mattdemic, the former national director for russia at the security counciland evelyn farkas, the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for russia. how does this fit into putin's attempts to try to regain control of this situation? >> yeah, he -- putin really needs to demonstrate that he is fully in control of his seat. and he is so unconcerned about what's going on that he is willing to go about mundane tasks like traveling to dagestan and talk about tourism in the local brand industry. this is something that makes sense for putin to do. he wants to make sure that he's got firm control of his seat and everything is business as usual, and he is just going about his job. >> evelyn, putin said he does not doubt the support of the russian people during the rebellion. what do you make on putin's spin on all of this? >> wolf, i think you to juxtapose the two imimages. today he is in dagestan. was it instigated or staged by his people? and flash back to saturday. there weren't crowds in the streets holding signs with "putin, "we love putin." in fact, the cro

national security council spokesman john kirby said the reporting from the "wall street journal" was not accurate. but according to the "wall street journal," eavesdropping facility in cuba would allow chinese intelligence services to scoop up electronic communications in the southeastern united states and monitor ship traffic. >> i said on july 11th when you saw the protest in cuba that the united states had to act decisively. this is another biden failure and another consequence of no coherent policy. now cuba has become a national security threat. >> china's reported presence in cuba is not the only alleged effort to spy on the u.s. house republicans have said details on spying risks posed by cargo cranes in u.s. ports. they flew a spy balloon across the united states earlier this year and f.b.i. investigation chinese cell towers near air bases capable of getting sensitive communications and chinese land purchases near critical infrastructure like military bases. >> this biden administration has been asleep at the wheel. from spy balloons to spy outposts both in cuba and in cities around america. i see it each and every single day on house foreign affairs and we need to make sure in congress we hold

intelligence committee to write a report on national security and foreign policy in opposition, and foreign policy in opposition, and one of the recommendations she made was to have a full on national security councilsecretariat. the point was to first of all make sure that the whole government looked at these risks, and a second to make sure there was real ministerial oversight because the national security council would be chaired by the pro—minister. thirdly, to make sure it was strategic, thinking right across the board about all the risks, and also making sure it was a truly international so you looking at risk of terrorism, climate change, space weather, all sorts of things, but also things like pandemics. why i particular thought this was important was, well i think the civil contingencies act and the previous government have done a good job in this regard, i knew that prime ministers are always in danger of being pulled into the short term, rather than the long term, and having a national security council that you chair and a national security adviser, and having as part of that looking at the danger of things like pandemics, it would make sure you did focus on those long—term things. that
