It seems fairly clear that the behind this . It seems fairly clear that the attack clear that the Attack Methodology is consistent with the so called Reevil Software Attack group which is based in russia and Eastern Europe. I think what President Biden was doing was being propria The Court cautious because at the beginning of these events you do not know for sure but it is very difficult for me to believe that an attack of this magnitude could be launched by a russia or Eastern Europe based Criminal Group without the russian government at least knowing about it and acquiescing, if not being actually behind it revil. 0k, actually behind it revil. Ok, well, let us take as a working hypothesis. Obviously we dont know for certain but if that is true, what do you think the response of the biden administration should be . Weill. Administration should be . Well, i think the President Administration should be . Well, i think the president has i think the president has appropriately warned President Putin that if this kind of behaviour continues, either with or without his consent but originating from russian territory, the united states will respond. I think if it is proven that this was coming from russia, we will have to respond. From russia, we will have to respond from russia, we will have to resond. ,. ,. , respond.

Whether that means only going respond . Whether that means only going after respond . Whether that means only going after the respond . Whether that means only going after the actual only going after the actual Attacking Group as we did with the last read somewhere attack where we recovered a lot of the Ransom Money paid and possibly crippled some of their operations, orwe crippled some of their operations, or we actually go further and demonstrate to the russian government that we have the capability to attack their critical Structure-'>InfraStructure if we decide to do so, i am not sure. My decide to do so, i am not sure. My guess is we would respond incrementally, working away Up To more serious responses. So maybe the next one would be seizing all of the Ransom Money is back and putting this group out of business, and then if it happens again, attacking actual russian Structure-'>InfraStructure. So happens again, attacking actual russian Structure-'>InfraStructure. Russian Structure-'>InfraStructure. So in attacking russian Structure-'>InfraStructure. So in attacking actual russian Structure-'>InfraStructure. So in attacking actual russian attacking actual russian Structure-'>InfraStructure, are you advocating in effect a more open, more public Tit For Tat . Isnt there a risk there of escalation . Aha, isnt there a risk there of escalation . Isnt there a risk there of escalation . A very serious risk. I have escalation . A very serious risk. I have been escalation . A very serious risk. I have been workingl escalation . A very serious. Risk. I have been working in this area for over 20 years including two us administrations, and you always have to calculate not only the actual risk that when you strike it something, whether it is a Power Grid or a financial institution, you will miss your Target Or Cause Collateral Damage by hitting other targets than the ones you meant, and or the risk that your adversary will miscalculate your intention and they will escalate further than you are ready for. So yes, it is definitely risky. But i think it has gone beyond time to just warn putin. I think we do have to at least show him that we can put some of his critical Structure-'>InfraStructure and his finances at risk, even if we dont actually attack them. Great to have your actually attack them. Great to have your expertise. Actually attack them. Great to have your expertise. Thank i actually attack them. Great to l have your expertise. Thank you.

It is nothing like what it was pre pandemic, though. Lovely to have you on, thank you very much for talking to us. Ukraines government has been criticised for asking its female soldiers to march in high heels. The country is holding a Military Parade next month to mark 30 years of independence following the collapse of the soviet union. The Defence Ministry has said the shoes are just part of the uniform. The bbc� s Zhanna Bezpiatchuk is in kiev. She says many Battle Weary Frontline soldiers are not impressed. The most interesting, important reactions in this case are the opinions of the female officers who fought on the front line, who served in the army or who now work in the ranks of the army. I spoke to some of them and they told me that for them its humiliating. Despite all these formal explanations of the Defence Ministry, which even posted the pictures of other armies� parades in their Social Media accounts to prove that other armies sometimes ask their women to wear these high heeled shoes, but despite all of these arguments and reasons and explanations, they think that they shouldnt be distinguished in that particular way in the official ceremonies. Maybe the big significance is the war in Eastern Ukraine in which women are shown as equals, very often, to men in the battlefield. Hello again. The Weekends Weather was always going to be dominated by showers, showers coming from big clouds like these that were spotted over the skylines of staffordshire, and the heavens opening not A Million miles away in mosley in birmingham.

But its another day when those showers are going to be widespread, some of them torrential as well. Could bring around 30 mm of rain in the Space Ofjust one hour, so again there is a risk of seeing some localised flooding in the heaviest of those downpours. And there will be some dry weather between those showers as well. On into monday and tuesday, weve got the next area of low pressure thats going to be swinging across the uk. So the weather certainly not settling down in any sense. Monday sees Rain Pushing Northwards across scotland. Sunshine and a few showers elsewhere, but generally a slightly drier kind of day for most of you. But then weve got this rain thats going to be moving in to the south west, accompanied by some strengthening wins through monday afternoon. Monday night time and on into Tuesday Area of low pressure pushes in bringing The Rain and pushing it northwards. Gales developing around the coast initially in the south west, and then along the English Channel coasts in the South East by tuesday. Showers following our main band of rain through and it will start to feel just a little fresher. Temperatures around 17 to 19 celsius. From there, later in the week those showers will gradually become a little bit less widespread. The weather slowly gets a little bit more settled, but before we get there, sunday will see plenty of heavy downpours. This is bbc news.
