the mayor of kyiv told the associated press that the city was surrounded and no further evacuations would be possible. he said that he misspoke. he has pulled back the comments but underlying that the city is under a lot of pressure right now. we know martial law is in place across the country. the capital of kyiv is not allowing anyone in the streets until 8:00 a.m. on monday. that may be extended. right now it appears evacuations could continue this week but the russian forces are getting closer. as we saw our cameras captured the street fighting inside the city limits. there have been people killed inside the ukrainian capital and the gun battles between ukrainian forces and russian military read more of that is expected tonight. we heard gunfire in the distance. the explosion in the air rate of sirens sounded once again. charles: charlie hurt here, great reporting on the ground. you give us an amazing glimpse
this important your book applies to this exact discussion that we re having and discussion of the effectiveness of al shabab and what is al shabab. who is this mastermind? does it matter who the mastermind is because so often we talk about you take out the leadership and it doesn t matter because someone else fills that void. does it matter with al shabab? it makes a difference. when you look at terror groups you can divide anymore into segments. guys on the street fighting. not people who will come back to new york and washington and explode something. you have to worry at the leadership level about the small number of groups who have leaders who have vision to say, look, our only mission isn t a local mission. it s not in kenya or somalia. a bigger al qaeda mission to go after the head of the snake, that s new york and washington, inspire people in that group to attack those cities. the leaders are important and taking them off the street, including this fella, was important not

as ian said, more russian threats and attempts to keep ukraine in its orbit. i agree for president putin, this is an extremely important issue. he sees this in a very different way than we do. he sees it as a zero sum issue, where a victory for the west, pro-western forces in ukraine is a loss for russia and loss for him, irretrievably. mark? i wanted to make two points. while i don t give a lot of credence to much that comes out of yanukovych, the statement about fascist nazis highlights the strange bed fellows aspect of a lot of uprisings we re going to talk about. there are far right elements in the opposition. there are far left elements in the opposition. that doesn t mean they re not struggling against autocratic government that has taken more and more powers and abused human rights, but it does say that we can t just see this as good guys, bad guys, democrats in the street fighting against an
