sentenced to prison. 5. m only. thea was watching it out in russia. the mood was jubilant towards booths, returned home media outlets celebrated the big deal as it was described in one of the leading newspapers. while boots sat down with the countries international broadcaster voice 1st interview since his release up what should the west believes that that didn't finish herself in 1990 when the soviet union began to disintegrate? and the fact that we are now trying to live and not depend on any one to be a truly independent power. this of course, is such shocking use to them. they believe that they can destroy us again and divide russia. president vladimir putin welcome boots release saying he'd be open to similar deals with the united states. was mostly there are other exchange as possible. yes. everything is possible. this is the result of negotiation that and the search for compromises before in this case, compromises were found. we do not refuse to continue this work in the future. once

a military translator during the soviet era booth became a war profiteer after the collapse of the union is often but ation as an alms de la, extended from parts of africa. what he was based to several areas of the war. he was arrested in thailand in 2008, while negotiating an alms deed with us agents posing as colombian, fox. i bows most coffee is that it is of good as a symbolic achievement. in the times, the president would want to emphasize to his public that he cares for his nationalist, even those robby, god, the as hopeless cases in prison and that he would please any option. it's unlikely brutal as you many public role anytime soon. but some believe his network could be used by moscow to add pressure on the us and its allies in time of war. i would agree that they really wanted him. they've been pressing for his release or exchange for the past 10 years census conviction. i mean,

it's hard to believe that he didn't have extensive ties where the russian national security community, i mean, he was operating one, the largest fleets of military aircraft, transporting helicopters and, and i really have the weapons from app to africa, latin america, asian officials, he se boots relieves one to me that improvement in relations with washington, but it shows the 2 nations can still keep the lines of communication open even if they're in direct shooting at each other in ukraine, the actual jazeera, more school, where the u. s. spa school star is undergoing a health check had a military hospital in texas. medical haine has more from washington d. c. on the debate surrounding ground, his release. president joe biden, getting a lot of criticism, mostly from republican politicians and also conservative media. and it's pretty

twofold, one, they say that this makes russian president vladimir putin look strong. and joe biden look week. and the reason for that is the white house was pretty open about what they wanted, the swap to look like. they wanted britney greiner paul whelan in exchange for victor. boot obviously didn't come home. so a little back story on why real and is in a russian prison i. she was in his hotel room. he said he went there for a friend's wedding forces came, and they said they found a bunch of classified information on a hard drive for his part. wayland says that a russian friend had given him that hard drive and told him it was filled, filled with holiday photos. so he believes he was set up, but in 2020 he was sentenced to 16 years in prison. an espionage charges. another part of the criticism that by his getting is that he brought home a basketball player and left a us marine behind. now it is true that we'll and served in military several tours in iraq, but he was discharged as honorably. there is mark fogel. he was convicted of

bringing half an ounce of marijuana. he's been sentenced to 14 years. so those are the 2 americans that the white house says. they still want to get out of out of russia. the question is, what do they have to trade with? but it does seem clear that both sides are going to continue talking. although after this experience, it's likely from the white house, it's going to be a much quieter conversation away from the public view. the united nations security counselors match off the rushes allegations that weapons supply to ukraine of ended up in the hands of criminal gangs. but moscow is facing allegations of its own with the case of baset or accusing the kremlin of buying weapons from iran and north korea. russia has used those iranian drones to kill civilians and illegally all good civilian infrastructure, wiping out homes, electricity, power supply schools,
