Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Micah Richards analyses Manchester United's 'humiliating' 7-0 loss to Liverpool | Match of the Day 2 Well, if he ran them after Brentford, he'll be running them tomorrow, won't he? I mean, what a remarkable game. Yeah, I was in disbelief. I was shocked and I was stunned from a Man United point of view. Man United, over the last couple of months, have been brilliant. You could see what they've been trying to do. Got some really good results, especially the one against Barcelona. The confidence was in the team. I didn't see United going and maybe winning today, I thought they'd maybe get a draw. But from Liverpool's point of view, they were clinical, they were outstanding, they had the fluidity back in the team. And they're just. This is a Liverpool that you want to see. We always thought Liverpool would be this this season. It's not quite h...
