Russia's annual Victory Day parade, usually commemorating the surrender of Nazi Germany in the Second World War, is a more muted affair this year. There's no air display, fewer troops parading through Red Square, and no Immortal Regiment march. The Kremlin says this was a precautionary measure, citing security concerns, and Vladimir Putin told crowds in Red Square that "a real war has again been unleashed" against Russia, in reference to the Ukraine war which Moscow sees as a conflict against the West. On the Sky News Daily podcast, Niall Paterson is joined by our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn and security and defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke to unpick Russia's Victory Day parade and the display of Russia's military might compared against the backdrop of their weakened position in the Ukraine war.

In the lead up to Russia's Victory Day, observers speculated Vladimir Putin may use his speech to announce a national mobilisation push to boost the ranks of the Russian military. But his speech yesterday, on the anniversary of the USSR's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, was far softer than many expected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michigan has a 1931 law on the books that criminalizes abortion. That law has not been enforced since 1973 when Roe v Wade was decided, but it hasn't been repealed either. And so it would take effect again should Roe be overturned because the state's GOP-controlled legislature said they don't plan to revoke it. We talk with Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, which is gathering signatures to put a referendum on the ballot this fall to bypass the legislature and take the matter directly to voters. If they approve it, the measure would amend the state's constitution to make reproductive freedom a right.And in headlines: Vladimir Putin doesn't declare victory on Russia's Victory Day, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is projected to be the next president of the Philippines, and President Biden announced a plan to subsidize broadband Internet for low-income homes.Show Notes:Michigan Reproductive Freedom For All – https://mireproductivefreedom.org/Ban Off Our Bodies Rally on May 14th – https://bit.ly/3P1KxgNDonate to abortion funds, take action and more via Vote Save America – votesaveamerica.com/roeFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/whataday/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

It's Russia's biggest and most prestigious public holiday, and this year's May 9th celebrations hold even more significance for Moscow. The massive military parade marks the Soviet Union's victory over the Nazis in World War 2. And today, the Kremlin says it's fighting a similar battle in Ukraine- claiming it's trying to ‘denazify' the nation. That rhetoric has been prominent throughout the conflict, and it was no different in Moscow's Red Square. President Putin blamed the West for the conflict in Ukraine and said his troops were fighting for the motherland. But was this the celebration Putin envisioned, three months after launching the assault.

In this episode, Alex talks about J.D. Vance and Kevin McCarthy who are two examples of the grifters leading the grifted. He discusses the new leaked recording of McCarthy condemning January 6th and Trump, he also goes over Vance's past worries about Trumpism. Alex worries that the GOP is constantly willing to throw out values for power and influence. Later in the episode, Alex goes over Russia's Victory Day. It is on May 9th and marks the surrender of Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe. Historically, Soviet leaders have made telling speeches at this event that have given Sovietologists some insight into what the Kremlin was planning. Alex discusses how there is speculation that Putin may give a speech that could help officials understand what is next in the war. He worries Putin may need to blame someone to mobilize the Russian people, and it won't be himself. Finally in the episode, Alex discusses why Moldova would be next if Putin wanted to escalate the war. The European Council on Foreign Relations notes that “On 22 April, deputy commander of Russia's Central Military District outlined the aim of the second phase of his country's war on Ukraine. The goal was not only to take the Donbas region in the country's east but also to seize control of the southern coast of Ukraine – and to link up with the Moldovan breakaway republic of Transnistria.” Alex discusses how this Transnistria separatist region is similar to parts of Eastern Ukraine and has already seen escalating conflicts and tensions. Under Putin's stance toward protecting and liberating Russians everywhere, Transnistria would be the same as Eastern Ukraine. Everything depends on whether Putin will accept some false “half” victories or if he wants to create an ethnonationalsit state.

Ukraine is asking the Biden administration for anti-ship missiles to secure ports that have been blocked by Russia's navy, as well as more capable drones and multiple rocket launcher systems that can strike Russian forces at a longer distance, according to Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. Western officials speculated that Russia's Victory Day on May 9 could see the escalation of the country's assault on Ukraine. Senior administration officials told The New York Times on Wednesday that the U.S has provided intelligence to Ukraine's armed forces and that it has been used to help kill Russian generals who have died during the country's ongoing war.

U.S. and Western officials believe Russian President Vladimir Putin could officially declare war on Ukraine as soon as May 9, also known as Russia's “Victory Day” which commemorates the Russian's defeat of the Nazis in 1945. Up until now, Russian officials have insisted that the conflict was only a “special military operation.” Retired Brig. Gen. Peter Zwack joins AC360 to discuss what Putin's declaration means and how it could affect the war. Plus, a special grand jury has been selected in the Fulton County probe that's investigating whether former President Trump and his allies committed any crimes in their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

The day Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern imposed a strict nationwide lockdown in March, no one in New Zealand had died from the coronavirus. Compare that to the United Kingdon: 335 people had already died by the time Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered the British public to stay home. Like many world leaders, Ardern held daily press conferences where she appealed to New Zealanders to unite in their battle against the virus. “We are all in this together,” she told them. Ardern streamed Facebook live videos from her sofa at home, apologizing for her casual attire. Now, New Zealand is “halfway down Everest,” Ardern said last week as she announced measures to ease New Zealand's lockdown. Related: Rohingya women are traditionally kept out of leadership roles. Will the coronavirus change that? Her “go hard and go early” strategy combined with a warm empathetic manner worked. New Zealand recorded zero new cases of the coronavirus in a series of days last week and Ardern's popularity rating is at an all-time high. But Zoe Marks, a lecturer in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School says there's nothing inherently female about this style of leadership.“The fireside chat approach originated with Franklin Roosevelt in the United States. The problem is not that only women can pull it off, it's that men are afraid to really let their guard down and be relatable,” Marks said.Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has not been afraid to show a more human side either. Frederiksen posted a video of herself and her partner doing the dishes and singing along during a weekly TV lockdown singalong show.  Norway's Prime Minister Erna Solberg speaks during a news conference on reopening society after the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak, in Oslo, Norway, May 7, 2020. Credit: Fredrik Hagen/NTB Scanpix via Reuters Like New Zealand, Denmark moved quickly to close its borders, then its schools and businesses. Other Nordic countries led by women, like Norway and Finland, did likewise, and have seen relatively low death rates from COVID-19. Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, by contrast, took a gamble and shunned the idea of a lockdown, instead trusting the public to maintain social distancing themselves. It remains to be seen if his strategy pays off but currently Sweden's death toll is by far the highest in Scandinavia.Suze Wilson, who teaches leadership at Massey University in New Zealand, says the evidence is mixed on whether men and women govern differently. Some research shows female leaders can be more participative in their approach, she says. “Research shows women are more willing to listen to advice and include different perspectives and try to weigh them up when making decisions,” Wilson said.Related: Fiona Hill: Putin has become ‘wild card' for Russia's political systemBut Wilson says it's unhelpful to place too much emphasis on gender differences. Jennifer Tomlinson, professor of gender and employment relations at the University of Leeds, agrees. Tomlinson says the theory that men and women have distinctly different leadership styles is an outdated concept. She agrees that there is some evidence suggesting women in power are more open to accepting ideas and working with others but argues that there is nothing to stop men from doing the same.  “There is some evidence, slightly mixed, that maybe women are more collaborative in their style and that may be quite an effective approach to take. But it's not to say that men can't do collaborative leadership,” Tomlinson said.Countries where leaders have listened to scientists' advice early in the crisis appear to have gained an upper hand in containing the virus.In countries where leaders have listened to scientists' advice early in the crisis, they appear to have gained an upper hand in containing the virus. Iceland's Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir and German Chancellor Angela Merkel introduced widespread testing early. Merkel, who has a Ph.D. in quantum chemistry, isn't known for having a warm approachable manner of the likes of Ardern — though she has earned the nickname mutti, or mommy. Merkel's approach is more stern and pragmatic. She warned Germans early on that 70% of the population may become infected, and in her press briefings, used simple scientific facts to explain her government's strategy. But her direct approach is paying off. Germany's death toll has stayed remarkably lower than neighboring France, or Spain and Italy.Countries with male leaders, like South Korea, Vietnam and Greece, have certainly succeeded too in keeping infection rates down. And there are countries with women at the helm that haven't fared so well, like Belgium, where the fatality rate is notably high, although Belgian officials argue that they are collating the figures differently than the rest of the world.  Related: Is Vietnam the coronavirus-fighting champ of the world?Rosie Campbell, professor of politics at King's College London, says that while the pandemic may have highlighted the success of female leaders, it has also more importantly shone a spotlight on the failed macho style of governance of some more populist leaders."We've had this tide of populist, macho strongmen leaders who have deliberately chosen to portray themselves that way, to be invulnerable.”Rosie Campbell, King's College London“We've had this tide of populist, macho strongmen leaders who have deliberately chosen to portray themselves that way, to be invulnerable. You know, it's an extreme leadership style,” Campbell said. “And I don't think in a crisis it's a very effective one because actually you need to be able to have people speaking truth to power.” Related: How coronavirus exposes weaknesses of US health systemCampbell says leaders who are proving to be most effective are those who have shown some humility and vulnerability in the last few months. These traits tend to bring people together in support of their government. The hyper-masculine approach adopted by the likes of the US President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is failing to unite people behind their governments' strategies, she added. Bolsonaro has repeatedly downplayed the virus, saying for most people, himself included, it would be nothing more than “just a little flu.” Brazil has by far the highest death rate in South America. In the US, Trump said the government had the situation “completely under control” in February, and that everything would work out fine by April, when the weather gets warmer. Instead, America now has the highest death toll in the world with over 80,000 deaths.Related: Bolsonaro's ‘so what' response to coronavirus deaths is the latest in his spiraling political crisisWith so much attention being paid to women leaders, it's easy to forget that they lead less than 7% of UN countries. Wilson said the challenges facing women just accessing positions of power remain considerable. Those that make it often have to reach a far higher standard than their male counterparts, she added.“It's a little bit easier for a relatively average man to slip through, but it's very, very difficult for a relatively average woman just to slip through.”Suze Wilson, Massey University“The chances of an average, kind of mediocre woman getting into power is very, very low indeed because the kinds of testing of their ability that they will be subjected to is so much greater,” Wilson said. “It's a little bit easier for a relatively average man to slip through, but it's very, very difficult for a relatively average woman just to slip through.” Harvard lecturer Zoe Marks said society does not not have a good record in celebrating achievements by women.

Harvard lecturer Zoe Marks said society does not have a good record in celebrating achievements by women.“It's often the case — and research has demonstrated this — that we're more likely to credit a team than an individual woman who's leading a team than we are if it was a man in charge,” Marks said. “And we are also quicker to blame women for any failures.”Marks says its contingent on everyone right now to recognize the success of these female leaders and also to upend the gender stereotype that women are less decisive and less confident than men. This pandemic has clearly shown that not to be the case, she said. Wilson is optimistic that the example women leaders are setting will have a positive impact on future generations.“The fact that there are so many examples of women leading very well in this crisis will, I think, help offer more stories to tell little girls that are growing up, to give them the confidence and the ambition to aim for leadership.”Above all, Wilson says she hopes it will show voters of both genders that women are more than capable of handling a global crisis. “In fact, women are actually pretty damn good at it,” she said.
