now on bbc news.unspun world withjohn simpson hello and welcome to unspun world. this is kyiv, the centre of the city, just a fairly short time after a series of missiles have hit it. one landed here but it doesn t look to me, completely untutored, as though it s a full scale missile. this looks to me like it s a drone attack. we are in an area of the city which is mostly kind of ministries and official buildings and museums and so on, and it looks as though there was an attack on a specific car, which has just been taken away. details, we don t know any more of, but we can assume, i think, that this is part at least of russia s revenge for the attack on the kerch bridge between russia and crimea last saturday. there is a feeling that now we are at a crossroads, that there is a chance of further escalation in this war. what does president putin s good friend xijinping of china think about russia s feeble performance in this war? the government is now toning down its once very

you know who knows a break falls you re way and you u.s. centered never had to cross over. don bolduc and is only running for points behind maga hasten, so maybe carrying a fake shield from the 300 movies with fake arrows sticking out of it is good politics? who knows? it s a mad mad world. thank you chris, great show. you bet. thank you all for joining us this hour. consider what happened over the space of just three days in january of last year. three events on three consecutive days that continue to shape our politics right up to this very moment. on january 5th of last year in georgia, john ossoff and raphael warnock won their runoff elections to the united states senate which handed the control of the chamber to the democrats. the next day, january six, we all know what happened that day. and then the day after that, on january 7th back in georgia. election systems in rural coffee county were breached by a team working on donald trump s behalf. this is them being l
then the day after that, on january 7th back in georgia election systems in rural coffee county were breached by team working on donald trump s behalf s, the system being that into the elections office by trump supporting local official. a team was sent there to search for evidence of election fraud, and the leader claimed to have made copies of every single voting machine and hard drive and every ballot. you have to admit it is a pretty brazen move to go breaching election systems in support of donald trump s election lies. literally, the day after those election lies sparked a violent assault on the u.s. capitol. but, that they were in kaufman county, doing just that. obviously we talked a lot about january six, but it is worth taking a moment to consider january 5th and january 7th as well. it is no accident that both those events that both looking to january six this big consequential election victory for democrats and possibly criminal election systems reach in support o
