off to the us excluded them from the saudi arabia. thoughts. we have a team of reporters around the world who are following all the latest diplomatic and military developments. sonya diego, in london, natasha butler in paris. charles stratford is in the ukrainian capital keys. we have kimberly how kept standing by in washington. but 1st we had to leave out shop of all of us will give us the updates from moscow. so you'll, you'll know, we have confirmation from the kremlin that the foreign minister lab rob will be meeting the us sector estate, marco rubio in re yards. what more do we know at this hour? i absolutely very, very fost developments around the ukranian conflicts. the kremlin indeed has officially confirmed that the russian delegation headed by 4 minutes to lever off is going to react for talks with the generation from the west. the ministerial meeting and saudi arabia is supposed to pay the way for the highly anticipated

talks between donald trump and legit piece and these talks will hopefully take place at the end of february. meanwhile for minutes, philip roth has expressed doubt that the european side has to join the negotiations at present stage and had all the tools he read to rated that and his hers hurrow concessions to ukraine. out of the question, saying that ukraine had committed atrocities in those lines. and it's on think about for russia to give up those territories in return for a settlement. and he said, quotes that, do you want us to give them up those lines up along with russian people without people only with ret, s minerals. and here he was part of partially paraphrasing donald trump. it said that he wanted $1100000000000.00 worth of rent as minerals from kids, as lance can refuse to sign the deal saying that he was initially proposing a mutually beneficial partnership to develop them together with the us rather give

them away. so they read as many rules considered by ukraine. well, this deal actually is considered by ukraine, immoral and talking about the oil, the depths, suffering, and destruction of citizens displacement of people from that her trees. meanwhile, according to clement's spokesman, to me, trip is called russia has taken into account all the statements made of the munich security conference, and is ready to discuss things of a should and said that so the issue of a potential deployment of a peace keeping contingent in ukraine by the use something that concerns most go quite lot. so we've had from the swedish prime minister, he said on monday that still home we would consider taking positive post will peacekeeping, or forcing you praying the ministers comments. it came up to bridges. prime minister came a test on that said that he was prepared to send british troops to ukraine to, to carry out peace keeping jesus in

a beat to show the united states that the european countries should play a role in tools and the conflicts. so well when the bends and we have to wait and see where the old assets will help and the will as soon as possible. okay. yeah, thank you so much for that. reporting from moscow will cross to our white house correspondent, kimberly how good for joining us. from washington dc. so this pretty much all driven by the trump administration. i. kimberly tell us what you're hearing on your end as well. what we know is that the secretary state really has 2 key objectives when he is in saudi arabia. number one, ukraine and number 2, the future of gaza on the ukraine. 5. what we know is the following, that recent call between the russian and us leaders. what we know is the next few days, according to marco ruby,

a will be absolutely critical. what the united states is trying to do is measure the intent of the russian leader just how serious is vladimir putin about achieving some sort of peace deal with regard to ending the war in ukraine. and so what we know is that that is what the united states is trying to gauge. but the bottom line there is that whatever efforts the united states is trying to achieve, we already know may be futile. given the fact that the you creating leader says that any process that does not involve ukraine is not going to be recognized. and on the gaza. from what we know is that there's a lot of uncertainty about the future of the cease fire. given the fact that there is this proposal put forward by the us president to resettle palestinians outside of gaza. something that has been rejected by jordan, by egypt, and of course, saudi arabia. so what the united states is doing is, is looking for the counter proposal by saudi arabia,

what is going to be entertained? but at the same time, what we're also hearing is that this is also an obstacle to another big pool of israel. and that is the normalization of ties between saudi arabian israel, given the fact that saudi arabia says it will not recognize any sort of a kind of deal with regard to israel and the sort of normalization of ties if palestinians are not allowed to stay in gaza. okay, thank you so much. kimberly how good for that update from washington dc? straight to the ukrainian capital key. that's where a troll stratford are standing by for us, so that lensky has been speaking out. tell us what he's have to say of the yes he's been speaking from, you know, i see that i remember it's all the same. neighboring saudi arabia. i'll read you a bit more of his statement is just been just come through in the last few minutes

. so lensky said that his visit to saudi arabia, he hopes he's planned for wednesday, as we know there are no ukrainians that are participating. and are you currently the officials of participating in these tools, in saudi between russian and american officials? so let's he said that i said there will be clarity on the date of meeting donald trump. off to visit by the us is ukrainian invoice keeps kellogg, and we don't have a specific date on that. but uh, zalinski says that he was keen that kelvin was be taken to the front lines in the east of the country to speak to the ministry. they're obviously very keen to highlights. you know that, that the kind of pressures that ukraine is facing their eyes, the spicing, certainly according to the ukrainians is intensified in recent days. the also very interesting, he said, for the 1st time from the chinese side that had been interest from what he

describes the chinese aside in the process around a ukrainian will settlement of coast china. a hugely important potentially because of the influence that to any specific could well put on on russia in any potential piece planning and eventually settlements. so i think as we bring in highlighting what this shows, yet again, is the real concern amongst the trainings in the ukranian leadership that they all being sidelined in these jobs. the main fact that they are not in saudi arabia shows. uh, and i think it's pretty symbolic as well. the fact that the zalinski is speaking from as close as he actually can be to saudi arabia in the neighboring u. a. so charles, ukrainians themselves, what have they been telling you about how they feel about the prospect that had been announced by the us in the past week and all these meetings that are being

held away from them of the well, i think it's fair to say that that has, there is a, you know, there's a gradual realization that the reality has really changed. now because of this push pull towards piece that's being dictated to by president donald trump. but it's also fair to say that over, i suppose about of the last year or so there is, there's increasing, we'll see. i mean, there's so many people have been killed. there has been such a high level of destruction. the russian policies occupying 20 percent of this country. and of course we've heard now from, from the us officials, including the defense secretary pete heck says that the johnson's of any kind of return to the 2014 bode is, he's on realistic. so there was a painful realization that you train them may well, no good, ever seeing it once, but the people that we've been speaking to the victory and the last hour, there's

a, there's a mix response. despite the harsh reality, there seems to be still a determination by many that a willingness to continue for i to but the school start fighting is dependent on the level of support they get from the west and backers, and then main west and back a full incense above a seasonal evidence, which just is pulling back from wanting to give that support. so there's a lot of attention being paid by ukrainians as to for example, what's happening in powers today amongst european leaders. but as i say at the same time, there is a, i wouldn't say it's a relief, but there is a degree of hope that despite the storm bits of pill that they're having to swallow, that seems to be for the 1st time, a serious attempt to try and force some sort of law student piece. we are a. busy way of that, but that is the general mood, certainly amongst the people that we be speaking to on the streets of kids this morning. okay,

thank you. charles star for thank you for that update from keith. natasha butler joining us from paris. that is where the emergency summit is being held. so what's the mood like there is european leaders come together for the summit? well, there's no doubt. there's a real sense of urgency in european capitals of to the events events of the last week in which it became clear that the old us you transatlantic relationship one so strong is no longer strong. the tool, if anything it might even be damaged. i'm broken, we seen multiple us need, has criticized european policies as the last few days. we now have from saying he's entering into the direct talks to find peace for ukraine without ukrainians. without your opinions, we'll hear a pin. leaders are of course angry. they all started, they feel they've been completely side line and will small for them. they feel the

look. you are very secure receipts is intertwined with ukraine security. therefore, they say they absolutely have to be at the negotiating table when they're all any talks for ukraine piece in terms of what the lee does are going to be talking about his and while it's 5, how do we get to that negotiation table? how do we convince the united states that we need to be there and of course, convince them that ukraine certainly needs to be that. and then they'll also talk about how can they both stuff and security here on the confidence that means more defense spending. it means they need to come up with things about how they're going to coordinate better with truth says no, no doubt as to what was i said, they resist real sense of urgency. they see that the us is stepping away if it hasn't already stepped away and they are very scared that will could be agreed between donald trump and vladimir putin. if it is to happen between just the 2 of them, they all get that that could have an impact on the future of europe, security and they certainly don't want to be left in affordable position. okay,

thank you so much. natasha. thanks for that reporting from paris. now over to london, sonya you goes joining us from there because sonya of the u. k, itself has invested more than $12000000000.00 in ukraine, both and military as well as in, on military support. so how is the prime minister looking at all these developments? what you say of what he's hoping that the u. k. keystone massage needs, hoping that the u. k. connect to the sort of bridge between the us and europe, which feels very much left us in the cold given the events of, of the past few days as well. and just hoping that the u. k. can use its unique position in order to be able to get the u. s. notes to lose any trust the tool or any face in, in ukraine, a tool and a not to come up with any kind of deal that would negatively impact the country. given the amount of investments that the western powers have put in there and

putting it in security there as well. but with that in mind, suitcase told me it did say that so that there is facing that once in a generation moment. it's not just a question about the future of you. credit is an ex essential one for the europe entirely and that the u. k. what happens next must put ukraine in the strongest possible position now or prime minister kissed i'm a will be traveling to washington next week where he will be presenting a co ordinated european position to the west. and his point being that the u. k. being slightly removed away from the routes that the european union has had with trump of the tyrants, he'll be able to offer more conciliate, free, towed to the trump administration in order to be able to find the best possible solution for security in ukraine. that will a fact old old powers will be happier with suddenly than they are now. okay,

thank you. sonya, you're gonna thank you for that reporting from london. we'll continue the conversation with benjamin talus, who's the director of the democratic strategy initiative, the think tank. joining us from berlin, thanks for your time. can all of this be done without ukraine having a seat at the negotiating table as well? that's certainly a big question, but just let me give a little context here because having been in munich over the weekend, i think it's extremely important not to write transatlantic alliance off too soon. the trump administration has put various different options on the table and will several of them back the you repeat the, if the goal was to actually go to europeans into action. it looks like it's starting to have an effect, which is why we see this emergency summit today, and it is absolutely correct that europe needs to demonstrate its credibility to be able to demand a seat at the table out of cost. credibility comes from both capabilities and

results. so do you believe that the european leaders are going to come out with some sort of unified stance after the emergency summit in paris? well, the very point of this summit is, is not about europe in unit 2. it's about a collection of the willing, the problem of unity at the lowest common denominator has been what's keeping, keeping your back, moving at the pace of the slowest, moving at the pace of the most cynical, having to find ways around outright, opponents of europe and democracy and freedom such as those and hungry. so back here and elsewhere. this is a combination of the willing, this is those states where most likely to be willing and able to do something about ukraine security situation. i have also, i want to genuine to defend europe. so i do think there is a chance of a statement from this group that would make a meaningful difference. are they right though to be feeling worried and our correspondence from parents was saying they're also could be some sort of a sense of a vulnerability. i mean, how big

a shift as this in us policy away from european allies and towards russia. i'm anyways is actually a continuation of us policy is just done in a much much tasha tone until she try semester try them a message that europe has been failing to receive or failing to act on for read a good part of the last 25 years and so the notion is, was a wakeup call, or a surprise is frankly false. it's the europeans have failed to act. that has been the problem. now, there is an element of unpredictability with the trump administration, which could take it off in a direction that would be something new. but fundamentally asking europeans to spend more on the defense, to take responsibility for europe in defense, which as a rich confident we should be able to do and to take responsibility for ukraine, which we a much more directly exposed to and drastically vulnerable to the consequences. so it's entirely reasonable and what it would allow if we can continue to be good allies with us, which this is a way to do it,

which allows us to focus more on the in the pacific. and that sheets, the strength and the alliance of democracies in the world. okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us. benjamin, tell us speaking to us from berlin. thank you. thank you. the there are less than 2 weeks left until the end of the 1st phase of the cause of cease far do between israel and thomas palestinians have had some respite from the is really military is relentless, bombardments, but after 15 months of war destroyed, 70 percent of the buildings in the strip, most families have nowhere to live. convoys of trucks carrying mobile homes and tens are stuck on the egyptian side of the border. crossing. under the cease fire is real hot,

agreed to allow 60000 mobile homes and 200000 tons into gaza. but only 20000 tons have been allowed in a none of the mobile homes. hey miss, i really takes us to one neighborhood and gaza city. our residents are forced into tense because of the destruction. the human to tell you the crisis in gaza has been exacerbated by the significant delays in the delivery of tents and several vans intended to provide to talk to the hundreds of thousands of displays, palestinians. despite the cease fire agreement stipulates in the in feet of karl rove as 6000 cargo vans and 200000 tents for displaced palestinians. the progress has been hindered by these what you the occupation forces and these civilians who returned from southern parts of the gods trip to the north to find their homes completely destroyed. are now living in the all been as you can see,

the situation is get him one more buyer and this make shift place. as you can see, since 50 year has been sit by these displaced palestinians. now they are living and you reality displacement after displacement offer the war ended. now the displays another time and the face harsh weather conditions. the weather add an extra element of suffering through these displays palestinians, and god, the strip claims that he has a 0 god. the city by this time meanwhile, and is really negotiating team will be going to egypt to discuss docs as far as deal their doubts about whether the cease fire will hold. her mouse is accused israel, of repeatedly violating its terms and failing to implement agreed on provisions, but the us envoy to them at least the would cost as he believes the deal will continue into a 2nd stage. so i think the ceasefire is holding. i think we are in

discussions about how to finish the next task that release and they'll be in is really delegation going to either doha or cairo. and so uh, so i think that the ceasefire is holding. there could have been um, a circumstance of shooting, but hopefully uh it's not big enough to uh, have uh changed uh, this situation on the ground. i think where, where stable and things are where they support that where they are supposed to be. okay. well speak to marin rappaport is the editor and writer at local call. that's a hebrew language news website. joining us from tel aviv so is really army radio. quoting political sources saying this, that the cabinet will be meeting this evening to discuss the 2nd phase of the deal, due to american pressure from what you're hearing and seeing on the ground to what extent, as washington's desire to want to advance this further playing a key role here in the, in israel going, it's

a face to negotiations. it does stay here very close to, but it's not clear what exactly you're wrong or who's speaking uh in the name of the us. because because of the drum. uh it was uh the, the president and he said, uh those those as far as all the hostages, i know to use them the gauge of have or would it be open as he is pushing for some kind of fax, what we call we can quote and i can't think of guys are in the same time where he's hearing based call say we are going for the 2nd stage in the 2nd stage, meaning a full spider and a to so from the dentistry. so the, no, i think kids and so it's not very clear what the americans themselves forms. but the, i see that is the same,

that are we cost is more pressuring small the verge on these are the government at the moment. and the meeting of the cabinet is due to these pressures by woodcock to proceed though, to start negotiating the 2nd to the 2nd stage. okay, so it sounds like you're saying that there's mixed messing train coming out of the us administration. but what about is really a government policy where things stand right now with nothing. yeah. who his coalition is there an appetite to proceed with the faith through negotiations. and i would say the 0 appetite all the time. you all can. so certainly from these guys in the government to go for the 2nd stage, the 2nd stage, we mean the end of the war, we throw some bad stock exchange of prisoners into being really seen very important

part of cdn prism is why such as my want to go to and the same uh, this is very hard to sort of follow these are, is the kind of these are the government that may so typically will lead to its full . so there's very little appetite. i'm not going to do this. i think that the right we start searching maybe even let them know in. so is a see a trans talking about a kind of thing you need to. we have to meet guys are you know, a chance to fulfill the greens of editing that i have some type of senior. so they are very reluctant to go to a 2nd stage which will practically prevent this option. but at the same time, they are pressure by the us to go to the 2nd stage, the pressure by doing, oh,

cool thing to uh, probably be use a sense of the assemblies of the hostages or not duties. so i'm to now and i'm not going to be released in the 1st stage. so they are in between pressure from both sides from within. unfortunately, don't. they don't want the 2nd stage, but they may have to go to each. okay, we'll leave it there on wrap. a port editor on the right or local call. so we can just from tel aviv. thank you. thank you. the, the destruction of northern garza has left much of the area without basic services, like electricity and water in giovanni, a, a once vibrance and busy market is now unrecognizable, the palestinians there are determined to restore its in

the office of the federal law to the north moscow high, it is almost up to some of you has a role of the one the one up enough to get to them. i'm sure i'm up here and with a bunch of when i got into so rob,

what do i have for the campbell and the from the, you know, on the, and i live in you around the, the, from the minute the money on a value and look at the ones to be at the bottom from football show, i'm going to see how the a lot of the one of the month before last go to the chevy. i'm sorry, a nephew, his audio. olivia, i'm with the gun and the are you going to go to somebody on the dog without the scan? obama gun and the zip the gutters. and watch go to the you are the, the, these are the another was little put off a okay. time for a check on the weather. here is rob,

with yet more from the in during winter in north america. winter is in, during, in the us handing kind of the breaker really code is coming through waltz. we had rain recently in kentucky which coast of fronting snow is now the story and will be again the story. the heaviest has been north of his frontal system. so a good part of eastern count or seeing i think, is about the 2nd in the week and the falls in the season, or significant snow storms on surprisingly, it's moving into are on fire as well. it's also snowing across the borders. you know, new england has some of the massachusetts that they ought to be useless now. they don't appear necessarily to be used to frozen roads. however, as i said, the stair was a bit of a problem, but the air is staying total, getting cold, or the art break of these colder means more like effects now and the lease side of any of the great lakes, the temperatures, and the low single thing is with wind chill. so d c for example, is going to feel cold when it looks a bit to wind last thing across until wednesday, when it starts to snow again,
