Military analyst on Russia missile testing

Russia may be planning to test a nuclear-powered missile, according to reporting by The New York Times. The outlet cited satellite images that recently captured aircraft moving near a base in the remote Arctic region of Russia. That movement mirrored launch preparations for earlier missile tests in 2017 and 2018, The New York Times report said. Retired U.S. Army major and military analyst Mike Lyons joined CBS News to discuss what this might mean.

Reporter now detained in Russia for 6 months

Friday marks six months since Russian authorities arrested Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on espionage charges. Both Gershkovich and the Journal deny the accusations and the U.S. has declared him "wrongfully detained," but so far appeals for his release have been denied. Gershkovich faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Gráinne McCarthy, chief digital editor at The Wall Street Journal, joined CBS News to discuss the situation.
