william burns said the following here. listen to this, sir. i'll get your response on the other side. >> given the potential desperation of president putin and the russian leadership, given the setbacks that they've faced militarily, none of this can take lightly the threat posed by tactical nuclear weapons or low yield nuclear weapons. >> martha: what he's saying, we're not going to give the mig fighter jets to ukraine because that would be in a lot of people's estimation a declaration of war against russia. what do you think? >> that's what mr. putin wants us to believe. he uses everything that we try to do and tells us that it's going to cause dire consequences. this is all about threatening and trying to deter us more than we're already deterred. >> yeah, i have to go here, general. i'm looking at the donbas region. we were hearing about the possibility in the days and weeks to come a major assault in the donbas region and the land bridge going down towards the black sea. it hasn't happened yet to the extent we thought. why is that, sir? >

the threat came as cia director william burns told lawmakers they should not discount the threat of russia potentially using tactical nuclear weapons in ukraine. we will have more on the war in ukraine after headlines. in occupied east jerusalem, more than 150 people were injured after israeli soldiers attacked palestinian worshippers inside the al-aqsa mosque shortly after morning prayers on friday. witnesses said troops fired tear gas, rubber-coated bullets, and concussion grenades into the holy site's prayer halls and courtyards. >> they brutally emptied the compound. they were attacking the employees, normal people, elders, and young people. there were many people injured. they fired rubber bullets inside the mosque compound. they were beating everyone, even the paramedics. amy: one local hospital received 40 injured palestinians, including two in critical condition. israeli troops rounded up and arrested at least 300 people. the raid follows a series of attacks by palestinians and arab citizens of israel that have killed people inside since march 22. meanwhile, israeli raids on west b

cia director william burns made the comment at a university in the u.s. state of georgia on thursday. asked whether russia could use nuclear weapons, burns said a potential use of tactical or low-yield ones by the country was a possibility. citing setbacks and military operations, he said that russian president vladimir putin could deploy nuclear weapons out of desperation. but burns added that the cia had seen no practical evidence so far that russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons. shortly after russian forces invaded ukraine in february, putin ordered his country's deterrence forces to be put on high alert. u.n. secretary-general antonio gutteres warned last month that the prospect of nuclear conflict once unthinkable is now back within the realm of possibility. >>> military experts have their eyes on north korea as the nation celebrating the birth of its founder. kim il-sung was born 1 so years ago. north korea sees the day as an important national holiday and, perhaps, an opportunity to show off its military might. ten years ago authorities marke

." >> in a speech last week, the cia director, william burns, warned that increasing desperation could prompt putin to launch some sort of a nuclear attack. burns reminded us that russia' military dtrine allows for the use of nuclear weapons in order to de-escalate a conventional military threat. do you think, knowing what you know about putin, that he would escalate with nuclear weapons? >> yeah, well, as madeleine albright used to say, hope is not a policy. and, you know, i hope that that is not the case. but i think what we've seen with vladimir putin over the years in his various wars, whether it is syria, chechnya, ukraine, georgia, that he doesn't seem to have any limits to what he is willing to do. and the russian military, as you said, it's in their doctrine to use tactical nukes, escalation to de-escalate. so i certainly hope that we're not going to see that. you know, it just doesn't bear thinking about, really. >> what should be done by the u.s. and our allies if russia does deploy tactical nuclear weapons? >> well, president biden has said that russia would really regret it

. >> cia director william burns speaking at georgia tech saying the agency is very focused on the potential russian nuclear threat and ukraine tonight growing certainty in the west that moscow has adopted and escalate to de-escalate nuclear strategy. after a series of surprise ukrainian wins on the battlefield. in short, a strategy that would sanction limited use of nuclear weapons to shot ukraine's military down and detour nato intervention. >> would you like to just comment on that kind of risk assessment and what the agency is thinking, given the potential desperation president putin and the russian leadership given the setbacks that they have. >> faced so far militarily, none of this can take lightly to threat posed by a potential resort tactic on a clear reference or low yield nuclear weapons. >> that was reporter tom negovan reporting. meantime, police in ukraine say the bodies of more than 900 civilians have been found near the capital of kiev. this following the withdrawal of russian forces. they say most of those people have been shot execution style. that number is twice what ukra

he knew about that before hearing from william burns. thank you for being here. interesting to hear burns say china is a secret partner with russia in the war in ukraine. your thoughts. >> not so secret, maria. i mean, we've known this all along. i mean, china with its elevated commodity purchases has been funding the war. they've been supplying militaryy intelligence to the russians, the information that the drones the ukrainians are using, beijing's diplomats have been in service of the kremlin and china's propaganda machinery, the central governments and the communist parties have been amplifying ludicrous russian narratives. this has not been a secret. this has been out in the open and the biden administration has been reluctant to impose costs on china for helping funding and by the way green-lighting this war. maria: that's right. and i want to ask you about policy and why this administration seems to ignore all a of these things out of beijing. here is the former chairman of the security review commission, robert robinson junior was my guest yesterday talk

the cia director william burns confirmed on thursday that is expanding its intelligence sharing with ukrainian forces. this comes up to the u. s. senate select committee sent a letter requesting for more information to be shared with keith is ortiz kelly moulton . with more, essentially, you have the senate intelligence committee requesting that intelligence from the united states be shared with you crane. and they give a, an intended purpose what they're helping ukraine to do with that intelligence. and this is the words of the letter. as we watch russia turn its focus to southern and eastern ukraine, we urge you to ensure that our intelligence agencies proactively share intelligence with the ukrainians to help them protect, defend and retake every inch of ukraine sovereign territory, which includes crimea and the don bass. these stated goals, which essentially, you know, our effort to help you crane retake, don bass and crimea flies in the face of peace talks. as these are one of the main points of negotiations with russia. and we also have gen saki, the white house spokesperson, c

s relationship with china director william burns criticized beijing. calling chinese president xi jinping, a silent partner in russia's war in ukraine. putin is merely becoming she's sadistic sidekick in this new cold war that they have launched against the west. the white house is reportedly looking into sending a high level official to kiev following the british prime minister's visit last week. u. s officials say it won't be president biden in washington. lucas tomlinson, fox news thousands of ukrainians fleeing the war or continuing to flock to mexico and heading to the u. s border in hopes of applying for asylum volunteers from across the us and here in the bay area are now on the ground, trying to help ktvu zach sauce is live in studio with more on their efforts, zack greg the volunteers. i spoke with many of them, you know, arriving in the ukraine, expecting it to be a fairly easy experience, but discovering it was anything but that. i think people are very surprised when they come to tijuana and really face this level of chaos camps days at the

i should say that includes the current cia director william burns. and former cia director stansfield turner. william perry from secretary of defense under clinton, was so outraged he practically resigned in protest. 50 specialists in russia wrote a warning later -- warning letter to clinton saying, this is extremely dangerous and you should not be doing it. you are just calling on russia to become militant and aggressive instead of accommodating and a common european home. well, clinton went ahead. george w. bush later tore it to shreds. 2008, he invited ukraine to join -- that was actually vitord -- vitoedy and france. everyone i quoted, how u.s. diplomats and russian specialists and so on, understood perfectly that for russia, there are some definite red lines that no russian leader will tolerate. none. yeltsin, gorbachev, anyone. and that is ukraine and georgia, within the russian strategic heartland, joining a hostile military alliance. they will never accept that. the u.s. foraged ahead. september, 2021 policy statement amplifies it. it states

the people i mentioned like george cannon henry kissinger william perry william burns cia director many others or not and there's no longer with us would not be justifying the russian aggression when they they explain the background for it. in which we play a role and continue to play a role by not joining today in offering. in developing diplomatic options supporting those that are already on the table going back to ambassador freeman that was his point crucial point. as long as our position back by england is you're finished. putin you're done. war crimes trials permanent sanctions no way out for you. we're telling putin truman said i'm quoting him. we're going to fight you to the last ukrainian. that's not something we should be doing. we should be moving towards. peace. we spend a lot of time talking about the kinds of weapons we can provide okay? worth doing it, but the real thing we should be talking about is how can we move towards a peaceful settlement which will end this horror not to the last, ukrainian. and you're watching book tv on c-span 2 joining us is noam chomsky who si

cia director william burns on the growing relationship between china and russia amid the kremlin's brutal invasion of ukraine. china foreign ministry spokesperson responding friday saying for tooin long the u.s. s been whipping up the china threat theory and throwing dirty water in china. lies remain lies no matter how many times they remain repeated. let's bring back darrell isa. congressman, what is your take their. the words from the cia director, as strong as they could possibly be.. >> exactly. who do you believe? both of whom say things like that that lack any credibility. or do you believe the direct concern? it is not a new one. what an existential threat was during the trump administration, jim mattis made it very clear there was only one existential threat and it was china. i think that that is the important point. russia has an economy -- we used to think they are the second best military in the world. they are not, a little bit of a paper tiger in many ways. we have high-tech new items including weapons. they represent the kind of competitor that we will have to stay up with f

and a chilling warning from cia director william burns, he says the potential for russia to use tactical or low yield nuclear weapons in ukraine cannot be taken lightly. also, "washington post" reports russia sent a formal diplomatic note to the united states warning that u.s. and nato shipments of the most sensitive weapons systems to ukraine are adding fuel to the conflict and that there could be, quote, unpredictable consequences. brianna? >> let's begin in the eastern city of dnipro with cnn's chief international correspondent, clarissa ward. clarissa? >> reporter: well, brianna, ukrainian military officials are saying that russia is beefing up its forces along the border as they continue to soften the ground in preparation for this major offensive, according to the ukrainian military, there are now command and control components as well as aviation assets along that border. and many of the troops who took part in the northern failed offensive above and around kyiv have now taken positions in order to participate in this offensive. it is a three-pronged attack, reportedly. coming dow

cia director william burns echoed concerned that after setbacks on the ground who could pivot to russian nuclear weapons given the potential desperation president putin and the russian leadership. but at the only current evidence is putins verbal threats. so far we haven't seen a lot of >> practical evidence of the kind of deployments in response to the lungs keys. please. this week, the biden administration okayed another 800 million dollars in aid to help ukraine's military fight back. the package includes an additional 11 in my 17 helicopters, 500 javelin missiles, 300 switchblade drones and 100 armored humvees in washington, raquel martin. >> the war in ukraine is giving the u.s. military insight on how to handle future conflicts with russia. army secretary christine warm it says one major lesson already learned is how to find information warfare on the internet. the army is now doing scenario exercises at fort irwin in california. our troops are learning how to respond to specific russian attacks already used so far in the invasion of ukraine, which includes the spread of false news

. >> the cia director william burns spoke today. watch this. >> given the potential desperation of president putin and the russian leadership, given the setbacks they've faced so far militarily, none of tus can take lightly the threat to resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons. >> do you think putin using nuclear weapons is a real possibility? >> of course, it has to be considered a real possibility. and anything that bill burns says, you listen to very, very carefully. but they roll out this nuclear threat regularly. we heard ma deyev say the same thing when he heard finland and sweden were considering joining nato. they're a nuclear power, they don't need to remind us, we know that, and we have to be ready, but we have to be calm and take the right measures. >> the deputy chairman of russia's security council also raising the specter of nuclear weapons if sweden and finland join nato. i quote, there can be no more talk of a nuclear-free status for the baltic. the balance must be restored. what do you think

. >> ambassador, cia director william burns spoke at georgia tech publicly disclosed the first time the white house is worried the white house could order a use of technical or a low yield nuclear weapon. how worry should we all be about this? >> we need to be prepared for this. if putin were willing to do that, that means that we are threaten not just of what he's doing in ukraine. he'll do the same tactics in the baltic states on nato allies who we are pledged to defend. i think the best policy is to not be intimidated by putin. as you know, sweden is considering to join nato. this means that we'll have to put nukes into the baltic syria. our baltic ally sort of left. putin trying to intimidate us from helping defend ukraine and defend our own interests. >> ambassador, president biden one of the first few world leaders who used the word genocide to describe what putin is doing what putin is doing in ukraine. the kremlin categorically denies, of course, that accusation. how significant is this and who decides or what organization decides what is and can be labeled as genocide and not?

i want you to listen to the cia director, william burns, acbout his concerns. >> given the potential desperation of president putin and the russian leadership, given the setbacks that they've faced so far militarily, um, none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to -- to tactical-nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons. >> so, the working assumption is that putin is more likely to escalate than walk away, at least in the short-term. but what are the chances he will resort to the use of tactical-nuclear weapons or chemical or biological weapons? he gets that desperate, that he puts those sort of wmds into play. >> it's something the russians have not taken off the table at all. they have threatened the use of nuclear weapons. they have indicated they might undertake false-flag operations with chemical weapons. and to be quite frank, the performance of the u.s. intelligence services before and during this invasion had been quite impressive. so if the director of cia is talking about this publicly, it is certainly an option that shouldn't approximate discou

>> william burns mentioned that the u.s. has not brought any evidence or any physical preparations on russia's side for nuclear launches or nuclear use. and nuclear warheads to their ballistic missiles, that would be observable, for civilians or groups if you will, but for the u.s. now, on the other hand, because russia has already started to or has on multiple occasions threatened nuclear use, this may be part part of the u.s. government more or less telling the world it is aware of russia's threats and that it has a good idea of how credible they are, which may, in turn, seek to deter russia. >> thank you, nicholas. thank you very much for that. here in france this friday marks three years since the fire at the notre dame cathedral. president macron visited the ka theet dral inspecting the renovation work. and the french capital hosts the olympics. julia kim has more from central paris. >> president macron is visiting notre dame and taking a quick break from the campaign trail to follow up on the progress. he is here with

the real concern is that they remain trapped, >> here in the united states, the cia director william burns has indicated they may have intelligence saying russia is willing to use a special arsenal of weaponry. would that change europe's response right now? >> bill burns is an extraordinarily well respected person in this career of [inaudible] and he served previously as ambassador to moscow, so he knows the russian mind very well. he was answering a question as a q&a session, but bill burns does not speak lightly and i think the most basic and beneath the conflict, is a whole new world. and i think that if there's any question about the future of the war after using the weapons, it's a different situation than before. i very much hope that words that bill used are beyond speculating. the fact that he felt [inaudible] >> thank you david, i appreciate your time today. coming up, does another war waged between ukraine and russia. we talk about how damaging entities russian propaganda has been to ukraine and the rest of the world. and wielding the power of the map. republican governor o

earlier, a cia director, william burns, had something to say. let's take a listen to what he said. >> given the potential desperation of president putin and the russian leadership, given the setbacks that they have faced so far, militarily, none of us can take lightly, the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons, low yield nuclear weapons. >> reporter: elsewhere in the country, in mariupol, the russians are saying they are making advances. the institute for war studies site mariupol may fall into russian hands but that city has been defended since the beginning of this war by the azov brigade, joined by several hundred ukrainians determined to push the russian advance as far back as they possibly can. >> we are hearing the siren, is that pretty common in the west? >> reporter: i have to tell you, since that warship sunk, the siren has been going off with regularity this evening. when you look at a map of ukraine, we have a warning symbol, here, the whole country is lit up in red. they are on high alert for something to pos

we just heard the cia director william burns over the past few days say that china is the biggest threat, the biggest issue the cia has ever dealt with. we don't know how china is factoring into ukraine other than supporting russia. what's your response to that statement? >> i think china is in the long run our biggest challenge and the immediate run, i think we need to be sure that we're not sending the wrong signals to china that we aren't willing to step up and protect our friends, protect those who are willing to fight for and protect themselves. obviously a lot of concern about taiwan. china needs to start thinking about the effectiveness that taiwan would have on the ground as well. you know, even if russia was somehow able to subjugate ukraine temporarily. they are not going to be age to take over that country like they thought they would. they believed they were going to be able to come in without a week and displace the government, have intended ukrainians owho they thought would want to be part of russia again. what ukrainians, who know what is they thought in 2014, but between

burns says putin could use tactical nuclear weapons if he gets desperate. ukraine police say the bodies of 900 civilians have been discovered in the kyiv region after russian forces pulled out. one police leader says those people were "simply executed." this has prompted a new wave of war crimes accusations and there are reports of bombing in kyiv just this morning after russia threatened to do just that. then there's this disturbing claim, ukraine intercepted a russian soldier talking to his wife back home. she was worried about an attack on a town near the russian border which russia blamed on ukraine, but during this call, her husband said it was actually russia who bombed the town, which if true means russia is bombing its own people and blaming ukraine for it. putin continues to lose face, it's not clear what he might do if he feels failure in ukraine is imminent, but this could all be the terrifying first look. so let's begin this morning with the latest on the ground in ukraine, here's raf sanchez. >> ukraine waking up to news kyiv is once again unde

that was the best information we had about ten days ago from william burns, the head of cia, who is the best putin expert in the u.s. government, the last u.s. official to have ever met with vladimir putin last november, to warn them not to go into ukraine. a former ambassador to russia. he said that it's always possible we have to be on guard, but he has not seen anything in terms of intelligence, that they were moving anything or changing their posture regarding nuclear weapons the thought is lavrov said last night the foreign minister said is to be threatening again, which the russians have not been in several weeks. at the beginning, they said something threatening in january and early february. not since then. this was the first time. most likely, it was aimed at the revised messaging really from secretary austin and secretary -- not only going to kiev, but going by rail and then making the announcements that they made when they came out in poland. those twin announcements at 2:00 yesterday morning, some of it was looked in the u.s. media as a result of the last 24 hours or so, but

so general, just minutes ago, cia director william burns said that the u.s. will not take lightly the possibility that russia could seek to use a tactical nuclear weapon in ukraine. do you think that is a legitimate threat from russia? >> it is a legitimate threat. they have tactical nuclear weapons. they plan for their use. they do have recognition of the fact that the level of escalation that this would represent. i don't think they would use it for any reason short of losing a large part of their military formation or not being able to claim some sort of victory in ukraine. i think they are going to be able to claim a victory, so i don't see the use as likely, but, yes, they could do it and it could be part of a broader scheme to scare off nato and the west. >> yeah. let's hope it's just a threat, for sure. so we're talking about what russia is doing and we've been talking today about the u.s. really now scrambling to get the ukrainians the kinds of weapons they've been asking for to try to have a defense -- a proper defense against russia, particularly in

burns former cia director and william perry secretary of defense and was so outraged by this with specialist in russia writing a letter to say this is extremely dangerous. and then to become militant and aggressive and then in a common european home and then clinton went ahead to george w. bush and later just tore it to shreds. and then to invite ukraine to join with germany and france. and all the people with a specialist. and to understand perfectly for russia there are definite redlines that no russian leader will tolerate hilton gorbachev that is ukraine and georgia with the geostrategic heartland with hostile militaryos alliance. in september 2021 the policy statement amplifies it and stated explicitly. and we will continue to arm ukraine. and from what that looks like from the russian point of view to understandde by the statesman on this says this mexico were to join a chinese run military alliance to carry out the joint exercises of the chinese army to place weapons and mexico. we would not tolerate that for one second. not anywhere in latin america. >> inconceivable. this is no infr
