dollars later, john durham issues his report. was it everything trump promised it would be? and a florida teacher under investigation for playing a disney movie that happens to include a gay character. chasten buttigieg, the former teacher and husband of pete buttigieg, is my guest tonight. let s go outfront. and good evening, i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, russia s worst day of the war, in fact, it was the worst day for putin and his prized air force in more than 50 years. so here s what happened. ukraine s antiaircraft missiles systems took four down four of putin s fighter jets and helicopters. it reportedly does not appear that the crew of the four aircraft had time to eject. now, the worst day in more than 50 years for putin s air force, ukraine has stopped short for taking responsibility of the attack, only saying tonight that the aircraft ran into some trouble. now, these attacks could be a precursor to the counteroffensive. just today two, more strikes in l
been posted on the cia s social media accounts. and this new video after making an emotional pitch to russian viewers, details how to do that using the dark web browser called tour. you re not powerless, it says, contact us in a safe way. the cia recruitment video was first posted monday evening on telegram, the social media app that is highly popular among russians who can t easily access unfiltered news or other social media sites. i call that hanging out the shingle and spreading the word far and wide that u.s. counterintelligence is open for business and we have deep pockets, and if you want to strike back against this man you hate, vladimir putin, you have an opportunity now to do it safely. reporter: cia officials told cnn they hope the video will resonate beyond intelligence and security officials with people who may not realize that they have sensitive information to share working for example, in cyber, tech, finance, and other fields. they may think contacting the
who happens to have a crush on a boy. what s your reaction when you hear that the florida teacher is being investigated for showing this disney movie? well, besides being disgusted that this teacher is under investigation by the state, i m thinking about what the students are learning from her investigation. so the students saw a 20-second clip where a boy says he has a crush on another boy. totally normal. and now these students will watch their teacher in the news for weeks and weeks to come. students right now in her class are being pulled out to be interrogated by the state. a line in the movie they might not have even heard. most young people growing up in america today, which is a great thing, are moving right beyond that. they don t understand why some of these adults in positions of power are so upset about the idea of equality for all people. right, over who someone has a crush on. so, the teacher says that this has now gotten to the point in the investigation, she got
belarus would see the opportunity to finally throw off the yoke of kremlin suppression as well as from their own president. there are opposition leaders in belarus. one of them is serving a 17-year president sentence, it is a mirror image of russia in so many ways. ambassador, i want to ask you about that intelligence leak regarding yevgeny prigozhin. the washington post is saying that in the leaked information from that young man in massachusetts that prigozhin back-channelled ukraine, offered information about russian troop positions so that the ukrainians could kill them and that he could then take over bakhmut. that would be the exchange, and get the credit for it. true or not, let s just start with how is this news impacting putin, possibly? well, it certainly, i think, would shake leaders confidence in this criminal that they ve
