11:04 am
that. so certainly the fact that they're still talking is optimistic. now what we're hearing today's the talks are continuing or what's happening according to public statements. is that going into subcommittees to really try and knock out the nitty gritty? however, are they talking about an end to the war or are they talking about the monitor in aid corridors? cease fires? are they talking out getting aid into besieged areas? will certainly the last 3 rounds or talks focused on those 3 things are what this round of talks is focusing on. will only find out when they'll be a joint statement. now we don't know whether at the end of today they will come out with a joint statement or the talks will continue, but the fact that they are talking is absolutely crucial. now, whilst all of this was going on, we had the visit over the prime minister as a high level delegation from the prime ministers of sylvania, the czech republic, and poland. now this was the 1st high level visit since the war began. ah, it's
