[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, mainstream coverage of big stories can sometimes deliver more heat than light. was charged merrier. there's always a push to simplify. narrative nuance is always called for, even in the case an aggressive war, the listening pace. jones in the news, narrative and dissect. then there's not our great deal of subtlety. we're talking

about the barbaric in the me. a surprise deal at a time is quite intention, a rare prison between us and russia. ah, other kimbell, this villages are alive from doha. also coming up, turning up the heat, shown ukraine's allies. russia unite for the funeral of madeline or america 1st female sexual ah. a pilot for a former marine, russia in the us of swamped prison is trevor read. has been traded for a russian citizen serving a 20 year sentence in the us. and the white house is released the statement by president joe biden. he says, the negotiator allowed us to bring trey home required the difficult decisions. i do not take lightly. let's take

a closer look at the 2 men. trevor read was detained in 2019 on a trip to visit his girlfriend and russia was convicted of assaulting 2 offices all drunk. the former marine was sentenced to 9 years in prison. the u. s. government raise concerns about the fairness of a trial. on the other side, the u. s. is freed russian pilot constantine the our shinkel in 2010. he was arrested in liberia and turned over to american drugs. enforcement officials. shanker was given a 20 year prison term for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine. russia accused washington of kidnapping him and fading to let them of the arrest. william courtney as a former us ambassador to georgia and an adjunct senior fellow with the rand corporation. he explains why the exchange has happened now importance of bringing americans home, who've been unjustly detained abroad, and there's no question the trouble was unjustly detained. this is traditionally,

since the founding of american diplomacy been a higher priority in this particular occurs. trevor rude shows, courage by growing on hunger strikes a couple of times, and then it bears the russian leadership. and then the concern that his father expressed about tuberculosis for the russians, a little more embarrassment would come if he were to die and rushing costs. so the martians had more of an incentive to release him, then perhaps other prisoners or the shackle offense, was mostly committed abroad in south america rather than in the search. so this is not something that will be 2 terms dealer and these kinds of things do take place despite attention, such as of course, the war cry, for example, america and russian cosmonaut professionals are flying together in the international space station. and that's continued despite the war in the current.

so it is true that u. s. u n chief has just arrived in ukraine. messy pushes for ceasefire and the tumult war. donor good finish was in moscow on tuesday where he met with russia's president that i'm approved. and he announced that his ukraine arrival in a tweet saying that he will continue to work to expand humanitarian support and secure the evacuation of civilians from complex owns. he said, the sooner this war ends, the better for the sake of ukraine, russia and for the world, hold up the me, joints now live from key. if hard was we expect then, from this meeting between 10 and ukraine's president. well today i think is going to be a very difficult conversation simply because we heard from president the mirrors and a few days ago who was quite mist actually that the un secretary general was going

1st and last scope. and then coming to keyvi actually said that it was that i'm bigger this position and he said that he thought that the secretary general's should 1st come here see for himself what happened. maybe do one of those visits to the north of cave that many foreign officials have been doing while here in country and then go to moscow to discuss the situation with the official that said he is coming here now with a green light in principle for the un, to organize human italian cory door in my you pull, he's probably going to discuss that with not only president did ask about also the foreign minister to meet you labor. you should be meeting before meeting the president. that would be the discussion, but when it comes to bringing about something on the political track to do, secretary general has nothing to offer. when it comes to that, the big oceans are stalling, he couldn't get through,

it must go about this. so i think he's going to concentrate all his efforts on humanitarian relief. him are you pulling in other areas, hotspots around the country where they fill the battle ongoing, especially with this fight for don't bad speaking gums theme at the moment. all right, thank you for that update their hold on the line for us in give russia has ranted up tensions with the west over the war by turning off the gas tabs to, to new countries. it's pushed. european lead is to hold emergency meeting. you commission president hurst, of on the line has accused moscow of using gas to blackmail nations. russia's fate control energy, giant gas prom suspended deliveries to poland and bulgaria thing. they refuse to pay and roubles. president vladimir putin had early warned of cutting gas supplies to unfriendly countries. and that's a magazine if you don't know if you're interested or gas storage is or 76 percent full. this is

a high level of filling much higher than in most european countries. therefore, also in this transitional period, before the baltic gas pipeline is launched, we will be able to draw on our resources as well as obtaining gas from all other possible directions, as well as our gas terminal interfere wish jazz, which can receive even larger amounts of liquefied gas, so we will try to rise to the occasion in this difficult time take to which bulgarian site has fully managed obligations and has made all payments required under its current contract in a timely manner strictly and in accordance with its terms. obviously, gases used as a political and economical to in the terms of the ongoing war and not in the term of a legal and commercial relationship. european commission president us of underlying says the you as well prepared for a shortage of russian gas gas crumbs announcement that it is unilaterally stopping gas deliveries to certain your member states is another provocation from the

kremlin. but it comes as no surprise that the kremlin use us fossil fuels to try to black. my last, this is something that your team commission has been preparing for in close coordination and solidarity with member states and international partners. our response will be immediate. united and coordinated set and put in, says ukraine was pushed to clash with russia, and moscow's reaction was just unfair. speaking a short time ago, he warned that any country that interferes in ukraine will face consequences if anyone would want to interfere with what's happening in ukraine now from the outside, they have to know rushes response will be sweet and soft. we have all sorts of tools that the west cannot obtain, and we will not post of our weapons, which we will use them if need be. and i want everyone to know that dr bar has more out from moscow. he has thanked the sold russian soldiers and officers who he says

are heroically fulfilling their tasks in ukraine. the russian president is making a rare live appearance in saint petersburg in front of a council of legislatures. and he has very specific instructions for these officials. he wants to ensure that russia's economy stays intact and that they are able to withstand the most severe of sanctions that this country is now under. and the russian president has said that they are already managed to basically get through the initial phase of these sanctions. but of course, many economists that we've spoken to over the past few weeks have basically highlighted the aim of sanctions, is not to really cripple a country's economy within a few weeks. there is a long term goal when it comes to these kinds of severe sanctions and international sanctions, specifically. but for now,

vladimir putin is stressing that they have managed to isolate or insulate themselves, rather for their economy from these sanctions and have a they are not having the desired effect. they haven't managed to crumble the country's economy or break the country society as a result of it. well, let's take a look now. what's happening on the battlefield. and mary opposed to the official say, russia continues to strike the last remaining ukrainian army positions there with $35.00 ariel hits in 24 hours. thousands of ukrainian fight isn't civilians are an underground tunnels and chambers below the as of style steel plant. last week, let us put an order troops not to storm the pants, but while kate, it russia agreed in principle to allow the un and the red cross to help evacuate civilians from the steel pont mario paul. i'll to putin's meeting with the un secretary general tuesday. nobody will come will not be in the mario pull direction, the enemies exerting massive fire of booking our units to the area of the of a still plan in the city occupies continue to carry out filtration measures against
