"Coming to a town near you. And today, man, we're going to be talking about something pretty fun. 30 years ago. Gosh, where does the time go? Halloween havoc, 1992, a really interesting time in WCW and some really interesting matches, but really an up and down tumultuous time in professional wrestling. Let's jump right into it. The September 12th and 13th of 1992, we have some shows over the weekend, of course, as we did every weekend. And when those ratings come in, it comes out that these are the lowest ratings in the 20 year history of wrestling on TBS. And listen, we've talked about it a lot. We talked about it last week on the program. Wrestling at times is cyclical. But when you hear a stat like that, boy, we've been on this station for 20 years, and the ratings have never been lower than this. Are you hearing from the cowboy about that? I know you were working on air and of course you're working behind the scenes and ad sales and whatnot and boy, just hear a sentence like that. The lowest ever, not good. No, it's not good. But I think we all do the solution. We've got to get some talent over and creates the storylines to shoot some angles that are meaningful. And that the people will buy into it. And so I think that was kind of cowboys. They were not going to panic because he inherited a shit show. And it still stinks. But he understood that the stench would go away if we get somebody hot or get a storyline hot. And that was always the goal. So he'd never really panicked on it. Hey, if you've been arrested very long Conrad as you just said well, if you've been arresting for a very long, you've seen the good days and the bad days. Right. You know, it's like an entertainer, a singer. You know, you got to, you're always ready for your next hit record. What's going to who's going to get the most play? And hopefully you'll get a hit that makes you more money and gets people to listen or tune in, whatever the case may be in this situation. So it was just a matter of we got to just keep working hard and that was always cowboys. Philosophy. I inherited some of that. I just, you know, it's not a permanent situation. Right. But you got to figure out, okay, what's going to bail us out? What's going to get us out? This slump. How can we build some momentum? So anyway, that was kind of work cowboy, so that deal. Well, let me ask you some other news and notes here at the time because some of this jumps off the page and of course it's all about talent and we've talked a lot about talent on this program before, but Butch Reed, who's in the company for a whole two weeks now, and obviously somebody that watts had big plans for, or it would seem. He's supposed to be getting a big push or so here, and then he now shows the TV taping and making Georgia and his let go. Yeah. Do you remember this incident with Butch because it does feel like this would be something that is very disappointing to the cowboy. It was. And myself and butcher's Friends, we thought, you know, it was a big break. It could be. It was going to be a great break for him. And I've always said, you know, I sit here on the show when JYD left mid Sal UF to go to WWE, we had the guy to replace him. At our disposal. That's right. But Cherie was the guy. Because fans believed in him, they believed that he was a badass. They believed he could whip anybody's ass. He got in the ring with. He had a great promos. And I think that that was, I think that was the eventually that's what happened. And it worked out pretty decently, but he was a babyface all along, waiting to happen, and we just come over just to pull the trigger. That's what we want that exhausting search to replace African American JYD with another African American. And I think this for cowboy made a mistake. I'm not saying about pushing an African American. That has nothing to do with it. But you can't just nothing is, it wasn't automatic, Congress, what I'm trying to say. It wasn't. Well, we'll get another black guy, and he'll get over like JYD. A bullshit. I ain't gonna happen. Right. So that's why I thought butcher was a solution, but we were all disappointed in that because as much as at the stage, his career, we could use the paydays. He still looked great. But, you know, issues at hand just to prevent him from focusing on his business, and I always hated it for him. I like Butch. She was a good guy. And held an athlete tough son of a bitch. I remember so vividly the fight he had with John Nord. Where they fought knuckle in the city and they had to kill women and finish the fight and Tulsa. I love it. Yeah. Get it out your system. And they are so their faces look like hamburger. And they didn't want to get others. They got it out of their system. We got out of our system to turn it back right over to Tulsa from Oklahoma City to do TV. So it was interesting times to say the least. What's the situation was disappointing to say the very least? You know, what's crazy is that's kind of the end of Butch on a mainstream as far as a worldwide platform. We don't really see him again. Now, he does pop up in Memphis. He pops up on global, but you know, his time spent with the WWF for WCW on a national stage. That's really it. And it ends with him no showing a TV typing. That's disappointing. Also disappointing is when you got scattered talent and make an offer to give them their big break and they leverage it and go somewhere else. That's what happened with Damien demento. He's offered a spot here by WCW instead he calls up Titan and they snatch him up for a better deal and he has a very brief run up there. It might have been a break for WCW. Yeah. No kidding, right? I mean, I'm not saying I don't know Damien that well. Be honest with you. We don't need to be honest. You know, and I didn't see a star at him. No. And his gimmick was unique and different, but to him going to WWE, I don't think, move the needle or either side. No, just to remind everybody, he comes in on October and 92, he's going by October 93. So a cup of coffee in the big time as a friend of ours would say. Jim Garvin and Michael Hayes, both get bought out of their contract, so no more free bird act strutting around here for a bit. But Michael Hayes winds up getting an answers contract. And I feel like that was something that you would have been an advocate for. I heard you guys do commentary together over the years, even back to the watts territory days. Was this Michael's decision or was this just his way to keep a Jersey? Well, it's a good question. And it probably a little bit of both, but I think it was a cowboy knew that Michael and I had chemistry, and the storytelling was not, you know, we had gone through a lot of partners, so this makes me sound like I'm hard to work with. I'm not. The circumstances evolved to take somebody out of the game. They didn't want to do it or they didn't like doing it. They weren't very good at it. All those things. Is it stuff or job that people think, you know, when you're doing ad libbed television, spontaneous television?

Well, let's just talk for a minute about Tonga itself. It's a nation made up of around a 170 islands in the east are flat, coral islands, and that's where the people live. And the soils on these islands are basically made out of volcanic ash that are coming from the volcanos to the west. So that Shane cronin, he's a volcanologist at the university of Auckland in New Zealand, who spent many years studying tongas volcanos, and basically this cycle of eruptions from oceanic volcanos is actually made tonka a sort of regional breadbasket. It can grow crops, which made it a really prosperous nation in the past. So you're saying that instead of being all doom and destruction, these volcanos are actually supporting life. That's right. Yeah. So how does this volcano? This particular one fit into all that. Well, this one is known as the hunger volcano. It's actually a huge underwater volcano about 40 miles north of tongas capital island. And in 2015, a section of it burst out of the ocean and created some new land. Wait, wait, so like a whole new island just popping up in the ocean? That's right, that's right. So this lava bridge literally rises up from the sea, and it connects two smaller islands, one called hunger Tonga, and the other one called Hunga hapai, and so they called it hunger Tonga hunger. We could actually land about there and get onto the island. So cronin was one of the first scientists on earth to reach this new piece of land, and he described it kind of like a moonscape, this barren gray strip that felt really otherworldly. The horizon is almost unlimited. And the stars that come out on a clear night are something you've never seen before. It's just spectacular. Jeff, it's giving me shivers just thinking about it. I mean, this must have been what land was like for those very first life forms that emerged billions of years ago and just trying to imagine that being that first slimy little critter crawling out of the water and seeing those stars for the very first time. Of course, presuming they had eyes which they probably didn't. But at the same time, it is just some rock in an ocean full of rock. So why was everyone interested in this island? You know, the truth is actually new land just doesn't pop up onto the earth with all that often. There's a handful of volcanic islands like this. They get made all over the world. And they're normally fragile little outposts of ash and pumice. Most of these islands wash away in 6 months. So that's Jim Garvin. He's the chief scientist at NASA's Goddard space flight center in Maryland. And these islands have come and gone before in the past, but what makes the era we live in different is that there are satellites and radars and just all sorts of instruments that can be used to see one when it pops up and then study it in real time. And if you're wondering why NASA is interested in this one little volcanic cone in the middle of the Pacific while they have their own reasons as well, because it turns out it might provide some clues about other parts of the solar system. There's always been a connection of these kinds of volcanos to Mars where short lived shallow seas and oceans have been which I said hypothesized, partially proven, and we see fields of small cones that remind us of hunk of tonka pie. And others in areas like Memphis and other places on Mars. I love it. So you're saying this somewhat rare little island can teach us something about Mars. Which means that people are monitoring it closely watching it with satellites. And so when then did they start to notice trouble? Well, the current story of the volcano really starts in December of last year, a few weeks before the big eruption. So there's a lot more volcanic activity, eruptions and gas and steam and stuff like that. But there was also something different happening than what had happened there in the past. The island itself sort of started to radically shift. It produced a whole new island footprint. The plumbing system under the underwater changed. So that giant volcanic cone, which was kind of the main feature of the island, looked like a mountain. It disappears from the north side and this new cone pops up on the south side of the island. And then in January, things really get going. So there's bigger eruptions, explosions that can be heard far away in Tonga's capital. Not that any of that super unusual. I mean, remember Tonga is truly a volcanic nation. The locals have heard this stuff for centuries. But then comes the afternoon of January 15th. Eruption starts at four minutes past 5. In this time, things get wild. We have a big explosion and an earthquake at about quarter past 5. The U.S. geological survey puts that earthquake at 5.8 magnitude. It triggers a tsunami warning. And then really intriguingly about ten minutes later, we have an incredible explosion. So that's what it sounded like on an island in Fiji that's over 250 miles away from the volcano. Wow. Wow, I remember that day so clearly, Jeff. Just staring at those satellite photos. It looked like an enormous bomb had gone off. Do we know how big the explosion was? Well, yeah, I mean, after it happened, I did spend some time trying to figure that out. And one of the people I spoke to was the comprehensive test ban treaty organization. So this is a group that monitors for actually nuclear weapons tests all over the world. And they told me this was the biggest thing their network had ever picked up in 20 years or so of operation. Even detectors in Antarctica recorded the signal. Now, other scientists, I spoke to, they said this was almost certainly as big or bigger than the largest nuclear bomb ever tested. And that was the Soviet Union's SAAR Bomba, which went off in 1961. Oh my. So volcanos erupt, Jeff, but do they normally explode? Like nuclear bombs? No, fortunately, they do not. So how then does a volcano become a bomb? Well, I mean, to be honest with you, these scientists still aren't entirely sure, but cronin is starting to piece together a theory. So he works with the Tonga geological services, and they've sent him volcanic ash from this eruption. And we're seeking clues in those air samples, you know, what went on during that explosive eruption period. It turns out that samples are actually yielding some pretty good hints. So first of all, the magma or the liquid rock inside the volcano was filled with tiny star shaped crystals. Now crystals aren't all that unusual because when magma reaches the surface it can crystallize, it can kind of freeze literally. But what was different here is that these crystals are really, really tiny. And that means the magma was still hot and fresh from deep beneath the.

"Said you felt overwhelmed by the response I can only imagine How are you feeling now It's settled down so I'm kind of it's been a crazy whirlwind of it a month I would say since some appearing on this p.m. news bulletin or new show here in New Zealand for three news hub Yeah it's been overwhelming in the sense that it didn't really so much attention but it's been a lovely surprise and just exciting It's kept me very busy over the summer break I must admit Right A lot of folks want to talk with you about it Both mowry women and men have traditional face markings Can you tell us more about them Each tribe here in New Zealand and Maori tribe will have a different sort of take on what mother order or Michael co wyers So more court time we're going to especially on the faces of birthright What it symbolizes deep spiritual connection to your ancestors So for me my mom is a physical embodiment of Hawaii as a woman but who I don't believe the scene from through my ancestry My heritage you took this journey to tap into that deep spiritual connection with your moko Kawhi back in 2019 Can you take us through the process of how you got there to that moment of deciding to stand proud in your culture in this way I received my call in 2019 at the start of 2019 but it actually was something I had completed the year prior to getting it So you know my life was quite I felt was hitting rock bottom and just internalizing my role in my purpose and refining myself that part of that process was actually digging deep into who I am as the daughter of my grandmother was the daughter of my mother and just researching that story And it just stuck with me really that won't in the need to get a coy Now I'm the first of my generation to receive the same so that was part of the internalizations as well as the fact that you know how I would be received or perceived by my own family first and foremost but by people have known me all my life and by the way to public You know those sort of internalizations are quite hard because we're coming into it and a period of trying to reclaim who we are as indigenous people to alter and it's not an easy journey because a lot of that knowledge was wiped out through laws and for government forcing a lot of things and take away a lot of things from Marty people here in New Zealand And so it's a long journey for every single one of us already I want to slow down a beat here because what you're saying here is really powerful I want to go back to what you're saying about your family and your family's reactions you being the first person and several generations to get a local cowley Just tell us what was their reaction Come the day when I did get it It was powerful It was an intimate ceremony It was a three and a half hour process by the time it finished And I set up on the table There were lots of tears I had a lot of tears throughout the whole three and a half hour journey I saw pride in my mother's eyes I still fear my mother's eyes I saw fear and a lot of eyes in that room and it wasn't actually at the coyote itself It was more what it represents And it's also so pride and maybe a little bit of relief that it's back now You know it's the strength in the dignity you know that you have that I had that morning that reflected every single person in the room and all the ancestors that we are connected to How did you get over the fear of it harming your career Across my mind the fact that to get a co wire may hinder or my jeopardize my role as a news reader was a journalist here in New Zealand But it also crossed my mind at the same time that this is Ann country in the world That should actually acknowledge and will be the place for one and only place in the world that would accept it because this is the land where it belongs You know those were internalizations I was like well you know at the end of the day I'm not doing this for my job I really push that the way you know to the back of my head and thought no why am I doing this I'm doing this for me I'm doing this for my family for my children for my myself Reminding yourself of who you are and that you're more than just a news reader and language is also something you've taken on now using the Maori language on air for common phrases like coming up and stay with us I mean you're restoring through your presence a culture erased Is that how you see it That's quite a profound statement but it's only really just dawned on me in the last couple years was since having a small co win that's what the beauty I feel you know only less than 20% of our country of our total population understand a little and can't speak to their models Very much aware of that And it's about trying to strike the right balance in terms of appreciation for the real for the language but also trying to encourage people to be okay with just hearing it because right now I can tell you what tiny and there's still a lot of resistance to the multi language here in New Zealand Arena kaipara thank you so much for sharing your story with us It's been a pleasure You're welcome Thank you Tanya Scientists have been estimating the force of the volcanic eruption in Tonga over the weekend Some experts think it could have released more energy than the biggest nuclear bomb ever tested That was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961 As NPR Jeff Broomfield reports researchers are starting to piece together how the eruption happened In 2015 an entirely new island rose from the Pacific Ocean It was created by a powerful underwater volcano to the north of Tonga's main island Jim Garvin is chief scientist at NASA's Goddard space flight center he says the process of growing the island created something else It produces layers We call them reservoirs of liquid rock under a solid rock crust That liquid rock or magma flowed through tubes and channels and vast underground caverns In December of last year a huge amount spewed towards the surface The island expanded but beneath the waves Garvin believes something else was happening The plumbing system underwater changed And then this past weekend he thinks it changed again Liquid sea water flowed suddenly in forcefully into the chambers filled with liquid magma When you put a ton of sea water into a cubic kilometer of liquid rock things are going to get bad fast A huge.

"And running aimed at making the ordering process easy NPR's Allison Aubrey joins us now to discuss this Hello good morning Good morning Debbie So let's start with the basics What is the process for ordering tests You know it's really straightforward You go to COVID test dot gov you talk in your name you type in your address you share an email if you want shipping updates and the tests will be mailed to you for free in my insight or some yesterday It is super easy It took me less than a minute There is limit to how many you can order four per household and they will be shipped out via the U.S. Postal Service usually within 7 to 12 days of ordering the administration says with the first shipments in late January That's a bit of a weight given that we're in this surge right now What is taking so long You know part of the explanation is that manufacturers are still trying to ramp up production It also takes a bit of time to scale up a new program that will reach tens of millions of households The Biden administration is purchasing 1 billion at home rapid antigen tests about 420 million of these tests are already under contract with more contracts in the works And remember these tests are in addition to the millions of other COVID tests also being purchased with federal funds that are being distributed to long-term care facilities to community health centers rural health clinics and to schools the American rescue plan included about $10 billion in funding to support COVID-19 testing in schools There has been some concern about just how accurate these tests are What do we know about that You know these rapid antigen tests are not great at detecting buttons before people are symptomatic They're just not as sensitive as the PCR test So there may be some people asking can you really rely on them I think the answer is that while they're not perfect these tests do give you some real time information to act on If you follow the manufacturer's directions So for the binax now test this means doing two tests more than 24 hours apart because often early in an infection the first test may come back negative And there is some new data to show that the rapid antigen tests are about as reliable at detecting omicron as they were detecting delta Now briefly what about people who might not have Internet access How will they be able to get these free tests You know the Biden administration announced a phone line will be set up for people to call to order these tests They're also working with community based organizations that can help submit requests NPR's Allison Aubrey thanks so much Thank you Debbie A record number of COVID cases in Wisconsin has pushed over half the state's hospitals to peak capacity 9 out of every ten hospital beds is filled and 95% of the state's ICU beds are occupied And nursing shortages are at crisis levels So Wisconsin's governor Tony Evans is mobilizing the state National Guard and asking dozens of troops to become certified nursing aids Joining us now is Lisa Greenwood She's an associate dean of nursing at Madison area technical college which will be providing the training Good morning Good morning how are you I'm good Did you ever think you'd be in this position where you'd be training National Guard members to become nursing assistance Prior to the COVID pandemic no Debbie however there's always been an acute shortage of nursing assistance not only across the state but across the country And that we're embarking on our two year anniversary and we have exhausted staff We have demand that exceeds supply It makes sense in this context and in this moment that Wisconsin is assessing and utilizing all of their resources necessary to help the communities across Wisconsin Sounds like it's just an unbelievable strain on the system These are very challenging times It's been a long two years Our staff in our long-term care facilities and our hospitals are beyond exhausted and they desperately need our help And this is one solution to provide them some relief and to help provide high quality care to the community members across the state of Wisconsin So let's talk exactly what you're going to be training these National Guard members to do Certainly at Madison college we are providing a 75 hour nurse training in the form of a digital badge or digital credentialing and so there are a total of two badges and supervised practical training digital badge one completes the first 16 hours of a nursing course prior to any patient or resident contact So it includes things like understanding and applying resident rights safety infection control and emergency procedures as well as just good communication and interpersonal skills in that environment The second digital badge really focuses on basic nursing skills so things like activities of daily living personal care skills so helping with mobility feeding walking dressing students also review again concepts of communication roles in responsibilities And then we also provide supervised practical training in our labs where our students will have the opportunity to practice those skills on individuals before they go to the area communities across Wisconsin as part of their deployment mission Now this sounds like a lot of ground to cover how soon do you expect to have these National Guard graduates out working in in hospitals and other settings Yep that's an excellent question We started our first deployment flight on January 10th and we are completing our first group actually this week So we're completing this training in about 9 to ten days with the National Guard That's pretty quickly Very quickly for 75 hours What are you hearing from the National Guard members that you're training How are they responding to this role Sure The National Guard members that we have the privilege of working with have been doing an incredible amount of work over the last couple of years with COVID These are individuals who have been also assisting in efforts like screening across our communities and doing COVID testing So these are individuals who actually have expressed an interest in this kind of work They have been absolutely phenomenal students to work with very dedicated diligent hardworking and excited about the work that they're doing How many National Guard members do you expect to train as nursing assistants through this process At this moment in time we have approximately 80 National Guard members and we are in collaboration with the Department of Health services who was the organization who put the National Guard and Madison area technical college together And we are planning a second wave of students for up to an additional 80 students starting the end of January Okay Well good luck with this training Thank you Lisa Greenwood is associate dean of nursing at Madison area technical college Thank you so much NASA scientists have put an estimate on the force of the volcanic eruption near Tonga over the weekend Ten megatons That's bigger than most modern nuclear weapons As NPR's Jeff brumfield reports researchers are starting to piece together what caused the explosion In 2015 an entirely new island rose from the Pacific Ocean It was created by a powerful underwater volcano to the north of Targa's main island Jim Garvin is chief scientist at NASA's Goddard

through tubes and channels and vast underground caverns In December of last year a huge amount spewed towards the surface The island expanded But beneath the waves Garvin believes something else was happening The plumbing system underwater changed And then this past weekend he thinks it changed again Liquid sea water flowed suddenly and forcefully into the chambers filled with liquid magma When you put a ton of seawater into a cubic kilometer of liquid rock things are going to get bad fast A huge explosion That's what one Twitter user recorded from an island in Fiji over 250 miles away and the sound went a lot farther than that People in Alaska heard it So it was a humongous explosion No doubt about that whatsoever Michael Poland is a geophysicist with the U.S. geological survey He says this may have been one of the loudest events on Planet Earth in over a century but the eruption itself wasn't all that big The amount of magnet that came out was relatively small especially when you compare it to the size of the explosion that it created To be clear the explosion blew to bits the island that the volcano had made just a few years before The tsunami and ash cloud that followed have done a huge amount of damage to Tonga which is now in the midst of a massive humanitarian emergency But really big volcanic eruptions can change the climate of the entire earth Poland doesn't expect that to happen In this case nevertheless he does think there will be a lot of interest in the blast He says it could teach scientists more about what.

Sergei Lavrov It comes as Russia announced that sending more troops to the region escalating concerns in the west about a possible invasion speaking The White House briefing today press secretary Jen Psaki said the U.S. has made it crystal clear any such action will have severe repercussions Our views this is an extremely dangerous situation We're now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack in Ukraine And what secretary blinken is going to go do is highlight very clearly There is a diplomatic path forward It is the choice of president Putin and the Russians to make whether they are going to suffer severe economic consequences or not Russia has denied an intend to invade Ukraine but it has repeatedly called for U.S. guarantees Ukraine and other ex Soviet countries are not made part of NATO A number of daily reported COVID cases continues to rise globally and power station bovine reports the World Health Organization says the surge is being driven by the rapid spread of the omicron variant WHO epidemiologist Maria van kirchhoff says the spike in oma cron cases forced the global health body to redo the vertical axis on all their COVID charts Over the last month the number of weekly cases reported to the WHO jumped from 5 million a week to nearly 20 million while case numbers have plateaued in some places than kirchhoff says oh Macron is circulating at a very intense level globally and reported cases increased 20% over the last week With almost 19 million cases that have been reported to us And again that's a true underestimate of what is actually circulating around Despite the huge increase in cases the number of weekly deaths from COVID is less than half of what it was a year ago Jason Bobby and NPR news NASA scientists have a rough estimate of the intensity of the volcanic eruption that had Tonga over the weekend Jeff brumfield The explosive eruption was heard as far away as Alaska and caused a tsunami to spread across the Pacific Jim Garvin as chief scientist at NASA's Goddard space flight center he says researchers have now calculated the size of the blast We come up with a number that's around ten megatons of TNT equivalent That's far larger than a modern nuclear bomb researchers think sea water flowing into a chamber filled with molten rock caused the eruption it obliterated a newly formed island around the volcano and left nearby islands blanketed in ash in reeling from tsunami damage communications with Tonga remains sparse but there are fears the island nation is now facing an unprecedented

a week ago The Georgia department of public health reported about 13,000 new cases today that compares to 25,000 a week ago The percentage of COVID patients claiming hospital beds around the state remains in double digits The highest is in northeast Georgia where 45% of all hospital patients have COVID in metro Atlanta COVID cases make up about a third of all patients Georgia's job market is basically treading water as the new higher rate is equaled out by the number of people who are fired or resigned That's according to the state's physical economists Jeffrey Dorfman He says Georgia was the top state in the country when it came to people quitting their jobs Partly that's because the job market is good in Georgia right Those people are quitting because they found a better job We are number two in separation rate That is employers firing workers Because we're having so much trouble finding employees that a lot of employers have taken a shot on marginal candidates that maybe they wouldn't normally hire Dorfman says he expects the state's revenue which boomed during the pandemic to slow as residents are longer receiving federal stimulus money A coalition of Georgia faith

Russia does soon attack Ukraine how hard could Ukraine fight back That is a question that involves the U.S. which has no boots on the ground but which has been helping to arm Ukraine Everything from

they need to defend their lives and livelihoods I want to bring in retired U.S. Army Brigadier general Peter zwack He served as U.S. defense attache to Russia general Welcome back to all things considered Thank you for having me my release When we hear the senator there talking about giving the people of Ukraine lethal arms what's he talking about What's on the table Well I think that we're talking about trying to take the edge or deter a Russian mostly conventional ground offensive And for that the Ukrainians would need more javelin anti tank missiles and that are very very effective and that will knock out if you will attacking tanks and armored vehicles And they need stingers They need to be able to knock down threaten Russian air support but one reason stickers we should mention this is another type of missile Yeah finger missile And the Russians were not able in 2014 when I was in Russia at the time when their first invasion to fly their red star jets over Ukraine because they weren't officially there If they calm their all going to come and that first fight on the ground is going to be very very important But you've just touched on what I suppose is the central question here You have a Russian military that is vastly bigger better resourced than Ukraine's No matter what arms the U.S. might send would it be enough to change the outcome here Well there are two outcomes here It will be costly The Ukrainians are going to fight They're modern military and their sense of who they are We're really really born in the battles of 2014 2015 It sounds like what you're saying is yes Russia's military is more powerful Yes they could go all in and they might win but arming Ukraine makes perhaps changes the calculus as to whether that's a good idea And would make it a much higher price that Russia would have to pay in terms of pictures running on what domestic TV of Russian soldiers coming home in body bags Right And it isn't just when we talk about U.S..

"This is nasice curious universe. Our universe is a wild and wonderful place. I'm pattie boyd. And in this podcast. Nasa is your tour guide. Venus is the second planet from the sun in our solar system. It's sometimes called earth's twin because it's similar in size and density but it's currently far too hot on its surface to support life as we know it or liquid water in fact. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system with a thick toxic atmosphere and while those characteristics mean it's an unlikely candidate for life now. Scientists think venus might have been a lot more like earth many many years ago in an exhilarating announcement earlier this year to nasa missions were selected to fly to venus in the next decade call. Davinci and veritas. These missions will allow scientists to learn more about what this strange and inhospitable planet is like now and if it was similar to earth in the past which could tell us more about our future. So let's go to venus. We'll be following jim. Garvin principal investigator of the davinci mission as he takes us through the atmosphere and to the surface of our sibling planet so venus is a rocky planet so it has a solid surface. It's about the size of earth. Ten percent less incised. It has four hundred fifty million square kilometers of landscape but it also has a massive atmosphere and the venus's atmosphere is like no other in the solar system because it's dense massive super hot near the surface like hotter than your oven. The surface temperature nine fifty fahrenheit in most places. Maybe nine hundred at the top of the biggest mounds big clouds. Billowing clouds extend for miles at one point. The clouds will get a little asti. They'll be made of stuff. We would not wanna brief so fdic acid and other caustic chemicals that we use to clean things on our well. They're in the clouds of venus. We'll come out of the clouds into the haze and below will be the landscapes of venus rolling plains. We'd have in the oceans presence of mountains as tall as mount everest valleys ridges volcanoes things. We've never seen before new landscape types. We do not have on earth. If you were able to breathe in the atmosphere venus it might smell like rotten eggs. Yuck of course you'd have to withstand the intense heat pressure and toxic fumes in order to get a good with and as we're descending the surface pressure and temperature is going to be getting extreme like being half a mile deep in the ocean. But we're in a gas but that gas is behaving more like water than like a regular gas so with sloshes around the carbon dioxide in the deepest part of venus's atmosphere is what's known as a super critical fluid. It's a state between gas and a liquid. Not only with that. Co to be difficult to walk around in. It's also a key. Ingredient of venus is so hot heat from the sun gets trapped in the planet's dense atmosphere a.
