of formerly a leader of the powerful sinaloa cartel and now in the us prison, facing multiple criminal charges. they sent a letter to the mexican consulate in new york, asking to be report tray to to his home country. makes committee a report that the letter makes the case that his detention wasn't legal. it was bizarre and my wife had said in an earlier letter, the fucking guzman, one of his rivals in the city below, accounts have kidnapped him and then bundled him on a plane in a room. it's connect strip and flew him together with guzman himself to texas. the us officials waiting for them. the suspicion in zillow has always been guzman handed over a mile to get a better deal for himself and his brother, a video guzman, ready in us custody of the mexican government at the time. so the us authorities didn't tell them about the plan. another on friday, president cloudy, a shame bump,

waiting on the issue. ship it to think that could be met, right? no miles case, unless i yeah this stuff, but it's on the imagine another person beyond this individual and the crimes they may have committed. the issue at hand is the right of a mexican citizen when facing trial abroad without having gone through the proper legal process. so yes, there is an issue in the letter being sent to that relates to sovereignty and the judicial process. ultimately, of course, this rest with the us authorities will likely be reluctant to give up helmeyer a key leader in a call told that they just designated as a terrorist organization and whose arrest they now with great funds to be well, the mexican government. so has its hands full with the war and civil over the cup driven miles booked. the government's desperately trying to subdue that conflict, even though it's is miles and by the tries to get home. john home. and i would just say to mexico city, us now before we got a pass artist

a shining in july. so i'm one of the most famous and recognized likely recognizable sights of london. the same piece cathedral has been brought to life by a menace of light and sound will show scope to pete a will can compose a david hop that created the 22 minute display. visualizing important moments in the buildings history up to date mess it to me, new pocket. it's going to website. i'll just leave it don't come upfront, coming up next. fucking up the protest. crackdowns in full disappearances and corruption with possibly the most special about the cost of living. unfortunately, the lights have to be lost, but those bumps up here, the way to live has to be lost. lives would take people with shot in the head.

maybe has son goes head to head with canyon politician. kimani ition was canyons a furious. you know this, i have never had performed anything for the party. there was about $7000000.00 pet to head on out his era. as the war and ukraine entered his 4th year, the new ministration in washington is promising in imminent peace deal. so what, what a truck broker deals look like for ukrainians, and what it represents a fundamental shift in russia's global standing this week and upfront, i'll ask those questions. the historians author and professor of international affairs. you know, the integration of it. thank you so much for joining us in upfront. thank you. 3 years ago versus invasion of ukraine caught much of the world by surprise. many people didn't expect putting to launch the largest european invasion since world war 2. and despite fairly predictions that russia would quickly capture keith and take control of your grains

government, or that russia would crumble under western sanctions after 3 years. that doesn't seem to be any clear path to victory or uh on the battlefield for free. decide really. uh, are you surprised that this is what the world looks like as we enter a year for? i actually am not. i didn't think we would take that step, but at the same time, it didn't surprise me because the american government joe biden was beating him. i think they wanted him to do this. finally, do this and then destroy him in the process because either he would capture but when he didn't capture that would be the end of it. so that surprised me, but then the way the war went didn't really because i no rush rush. he's not the country that does immediately well, i mean yes, the capture of crimea in 2014 with a quick but it was actually in order one reparation was a glen to stein. speier operation which is put in very good it because he was

a former spy with the war. not so much so they did exactly the way rush always does it start slow, but then it figures out that if it doesn't go further, that is going to be destroyed. but no russian will ever want to be destroyed. and therefore it became aware of attrition. and i will disagree that it's not going well for either side, i think for the russian side, it certainly is going much better than it is going for the cranium side. and by default that it's going for your pee inside, which went full in to support ukraine and with the claims that they need to destroy . how far off the mark is russia from where it expected to be at this point. i don't think it's part of the market. oh, i mean, it took 3 years to do it, but the idea that russia wants to capture you crane and make it rush. so that was a mistake and id. it never was the case which and wanted russia in the sphere of its influence, which is very different from one piece ukraine, as part of the,

one of the part of the federal government of russia he wanted this potentially wanted actually probably one to the popular government that in the sphere of influence of russia, but it doesn't mean it's really very different. i mean, we talk about it is if it's the same, but it's not the same. so territory wasn't, that's much of an issue for puts in for him much more of an issue is that i have a sphere of influence. and of course, he was told that there was no such thing as this here of influence. and his response was for america, the whole world is fear of incense. so don't tell me. so i am going to fight until i get my sphere of influence. and at this point, you've got enough of a sphere of influence for him to claim that his goals are not far off all the of course, it took more time that he had originally thought originally thought it was going to be 2 weeks max and we'd be done uh, trip as close released with food. and as we know, both leaders have praised each other in the past quite generously, in fact. and there are concerns of trump is already starting to make concessions to

russia. but he indicated that ukraine would not join nato, and he said that ukraine quote, may be russian some day, or they may not be russian some day. are you concerned about what a trump brokerage piece deal might look like as well? i mean, i am concerned about anything from deal with look like, i mean generally i'm concerned truck trunk globally. so as far as need a goes, everybody knows that you cranes road to may till may never happen. i mean the whole story even. we've heard the from our crew to, from the new general secretary of nato. is that the piece? i feel the executive, the, the quote but something, something like the peace negotiations of you joining made. it was never part of negotiations which of course for the ukrainians like wait a minute, i thought that that's the whole thing that we were fighting about, right. that's what the russian felt begin to worry about is the need. but

apparently, according to our crew to that was never the case. so the only few people believe that the russian would ever, under any circumstances agree that ukraine will join it unless rashid is defeated but you know, idea you to defeat 11. right? so that's unlikely, right? and the trumpet said affectively, this is a non starter. exactly. and actually trump is being more honest and they think that's his uh, in some ways it, you know, forgive my pun, trump card in a trump card is that he's finally saying that everybody knows. but because of all this decorative idea, logical, we have points in rush, it can not be can not be victorious. and what's not the joe biden was engaged in everybody's shop, but i am sure that everybody's shock because everybody knows it's not gonna happen . everybody knows that crimea would never know russian president even not put in the ever russian president we 2 and crimea to ukraine. it can be only fought over or it can be somehow legally decided. so this 2 things were almost

a non starter or probably not the norm started for everybody, but everybody was pretending that it's going to happen. and so company mode and said it's all going to have another piece of this is how it affects the rest of the western powers. the allied powers of it. i'm thinking about what it means for trump to deal directly with pollutants. what's the long term consequences of that potential as well. it's in europe was already it is very stressed by this, but i'm always thinking, you know, i george canon, the great american diplomat. i was his last research assistant when he was already 90 years old. and so i did research for him a fresh out of grad school, and he always told me that the problem with us understanding as americans, thinking about the world's problems, is that we'll look at them from the american point of view. when not looking at them from the point of view of the countries and how they deal with problems. so we expect them to behave the way we want them to behave. and so what it is,

i don't expect the truck to behave it any differently than from behaves. trump already said that he's going to do, he's going to resolve the crisis. he is going to, i mean the ged vance spoken view and they can select church. europeans on uh, uh, on the neglect of the values. and the reason they all in this problem because they have the, they gave up and bill is that right? because trump has incredible amount of values. so yes they are, they are upset. but that's the question. so he's dealing with put in and i think he's beating them and that that probably part of this put him loves the most, that trump is showing europeans and joe by europeans, they own support chrissy because they should step go away and say when we're dealing with america anymore, but they can't. and so they dealing with america like this,

they're pretending to trump doesn't do or say old as horrible things and they're trying to justify. he's a conversational relationship with with them. so in some ways it's putting in trump against the world. so let's a trip out of the equation just for a moment. if cumberland harris had won the most recent presidential election with the outcome of the war, had been any different would fighting have ended sooner or later with ukraine, maybe sitting land to rush it as a matter that happens, no matter who's in the white house or i think ukraine can ukraine itself can not win this war by itself, and i never saw the deep cleaned could win this for so actually for the with right from the beginning when you create needs to be in strong position, negotiate on on, on the battlefield. i thought it was completely insane statements that just set up a lot of the land of hollywood where the good guys went and the bad guys lose. so i think there was in never a starter unless they made the troops on the ground unless they are the ones fighting at the same time made the said we're not involved. and so if you're not

involved, ukraine is losing people. it can north, when a go against 145000000 people of rush, it did incredibly well. i mean that's we give it to you create. i mean, it's an incredibly brave country with it, with a lot of stamina and self recognition. and it's wonderful. but they can't physically, they can't with. and so it's made the didn't go all the way in ukraine has no, and never had it pots of winning. so the what would have continued longer, they would be more slogans of how we need to stand with ukraine until the very end . meaning what standing, how, and ultimately i think put in would have gotten what you got any way, but to great a detriment to everything else. so yes, we have to admit that putting did not lose all the he didn't get all he wanted, so he didn't win, but he certainly did not lose and certainly lost less than ukraine or your update

in this scenario. what does this do for the us standing around the world? i mean, obviously it's not just us. the western world in general has kind of throw it support behind you. crane the language, the slogans, the money. and we took what? hundreds of billions of dollars in, in weapons and military assistance hitting rusher with multiple rounds of sanctions . they've done all the things to ensure that ukraine is successful. and yet the west hasn't seen the outcome that they would like. does this ultimately undermine us power and credibility around the world do by those yet? so i think because he miscalculated he, he's the man of the cold war. i met him when he was the man of the cold war. he immediately explained to me how you know, america wins and how important it is democracy to win, which is true. but so when puts in basically acting as non democrat old america one to cold. why think joe biden good incense? and he told him he was a motor and he told him he can not be this man can not,

you can not continue doing what he's doing put in, i mean, and so he miscalculated because as you know, there is a certain thing about american arrogance, especially arrogance of a cold war guy who remembers winning the cold war. and he acted this way and there was no analysis. there was no policy about fashion, how russia will respond to this. and that there was always this politics of how, which is going to stand on and support the greatness. so your rep where the conflict is going of course, joins that because we need to defeat boots and he has been around for 25 years. he's a, he's a thorn, the now i and whatnot. so they jump on this. but america, europe always jump some kind of america often jumps in american adventures. let's remember the warranty or so. so even if that happens exactly as it often happens, and i think the big question to me is that every time it happens the same way,

america drops the problem. then i mean, because of different president because of a different environment that's biden withdrew from afghanistan, america drops in europe, always sort of and zap hanging the codes that, oh my god, how well, what did you do to us? how did, how did it happen? and so, yes, i think it's a tremendous embarrassment. and i, if i channel my george can, and i would say, because america did not have a policy, it had politics. you mentioned putting, being in par for 25 years. lots happened over that time. after ethics, incredibly in 2014 and then the full invasion of 2022. he's become somewhat of a pariah in the west. this is a far cry from 2009 when there was talk about resetting relations between the united states in russia. how have putin's ambitions undermined or impacted russia's standing in the world as well? he, he's argument is that the west is out to get us. i mean they want,

they say that they want to do, we said relationship, be friends, but then they undermine us. all the time there is no. so we want security guarantees in europe and they to is expanding and nobody recognizing my great position at the table. the right though. oh, no, the reason he's not, i mean, i understand he's concerns because, you know, often isn't american. you think you're better than anybody else, even if you don't think you're better than anybody else. i mean, let's, let's be, let's be honest about it. but no, i mean, it's not a reason to start the war. you. i mean rushes in and what happened then to put in, for example, actually has become an incredible service economy. you wouldn't hear it in the united states because you're not supposed to talk on the talk across and talks about it, but she cannot be trusted. but it really made the most amazing service economy so that so there's wonderful things that's called soft power. no, no, we just need to send tanks across the border. and so no, he's not right. because even if you few on the mind there is not the other ways of

dealing with it. and the other ways of dealing with it is to convince that your worth not being on the mind because everything has done is just like, well, we have just rush, he's disregard for golf course, but she's disregarded because the only thing it knows it's sending thanks. i mean, how can you not be disregarded? so how does that approach effect russia and the big picture global standard awhile now was truck. this standing together, i mean the, you know, with like 5 points in his 5 foot 6 and trump is 561. and yet they are on the same level then for points and it's the greatest, greatest recognition. so yes, russia, strategically for the future has lost, but points improved that he can, he can, he's not going to be on the mind at any cost, and that's exactly what he did. it was paid the great price, a rush, you'd pay the great price, but he would not allow himself to be under mine. so, so for, for um, uh, for russia, the standing in the world uh,

in western world certainly become a problem with right. but what if you look at the rest of the world, not so much. i mean, look at india, look, it's turkey, look good. saudi arabia, i mean, puts in, chipped away from even from this american usual sphere of influence. and then suddenly he stood up to the a 2 to america, and he didn't lose. i mean that's, that's something to be accounted for in the world that has northwestern. and so that's another mistake i think on, on, on, on the part of your p. m. countries that sort of set themselves up against everybody else. it's like, oh we are is just that. but formally, the diplomat of europe, which probably we wrote the whole idea what the limit of your, of me mean when he said that, you know, we in europe are, we are in a says and everybody around us is a jungle. it's like that's a great message for the world. i mean that they will join puts in in the fight.

immediately after that statement. in all of this discourse, the united states often invokes international law and democracy. it's an interesting and compelling argument, except the us often violates the spirit of democracy and undermines are contravenes international law in places, right? if you understand or, or israel palestine, to what extent is that contradiction undermining the use of the ability to invoke those those ideals? well, and that's what put his argument is, and that's what trump is showing. he talks about others that others can not do certain things, but you know, panama, all good greenland old. good mexico. wonderful. 50 for a state of canada. oh awesome. so the things that he, he says we as america is a big corporation, we can do it. it's the small businesses that small little things that cannot do. so it doesn't to mind, but america's always been like that. i mean,

let's look at vietnam, let's, it's, it has been, it has been that story in history, but on, on, on, on average, or if we kind of even it out. american influences still infinitely better the north american influence. i mean, we have to agree with that and point but points and says no, if you are lying, i'm going to point out to you every time when you like it. it was interesting to a john bolton, who was the un ambassador under george bush and was really rubbing a lot of people the wrong way. he said that puts him and he, what he can clean. we've victory because he didn't want to negotiate with biden, because he knew that with trump, he's going to have better a better position to negotiate. so he waited for terms like no, it's you talking about job. i didn't, didn't. when negotiate with with him he kept saying, we're not really negotiating with his people. fortune was saying, i am ready offer me the sons that give, give me something. oh,

for us you cannot be trusted russian once the war all over the world and they are for a generally america, these are powerful country, it is the richest country, it is a country that serves on, on, on average, serves universal good. it is the country that use to at least formulate the formulate human rights in the proper manner, even if of course, it broke itself with just the tension with rushes. that rushing just doesn't allow any hypocrisy. because if you're going to lift your me, then show me how you uphold this. oh, you're not upholding this. so who are you? is as a, as a gay level freshman for administer, one time said to, i think somebody british bridge diplomatically said who the hell i you, to lecture me. you've been back to russia since the war began. how is the rush of today different than the rush of 3 years ago,

while it changed in the last 3 years tremendously because i was there off to the beginning of the war and it was one rush and then last year it was another russian, this past year the 2024 was a very different one. it's on one hand, more militaristic. it is, it has surrender to put in isn't to this whole kind of agenda of us against everybody else. it's much more kind of frame is rushing is the greatest. everything is going to be wonderful puts in, is exactly that. and so the only to escape with fuchs escape places are bookstores . we're still selling. you know everything including george your will that he walk into every book store to george all the way to your face. so you wouldn't forget where you live of british authors, american authors, in museums and museums, people just go to museums for the whole day because where they can pretend that none of it is have the escape completely physically to escape so. so that's how

rushing has changed them in restaurants have been working all the time. but the war conversations stopped because before the 1st year, people would talk about the all the time everywhere. but ukraine, whether we like, we don't like it, our boys, the boys, how can we do this and so on. and now people are much more careful because they're playing close, police very orwellian, very 19. 84, just looking and seeing who they can grab well, we're on the ground. do you feel a growing discontent towards food? no, i'm not. and i think the west is, is, is contributor has contributed to that. because when you are heated so much and on a national level and something that i remember was early interviews i was given about the quote feel going to heat the whole rush. are you actually strength and important? because if you're going to go against the whole country, the country does what it does. well, he around the flat, that's exactly what's happening. going if the country also means going is to people of the people that right? yeah, exactly. so if you're going to punish the whole nation,

then it's going to be helping. and the bid in the beginning there was, you know, there was all this incredibly massive protest against it. and yet old russians was sanctioned, i'm not complaining because, you know, once again, there was russian, there was ukraine, so i'm not putting them on the same level. i'm just talking about policy. so if you have a policy of, if you have a dick tutorial, a country that you want to a north hill but you want dictated to be undermined, you will not, and you will not sanctioning everybody. you are not, not allowing the russians to travel to travel abroad. you are not cutting there. you are not cutting a bank services because that is not to me to put them doesn't go to mcdonalds, put in, doesn't use. i remember the times new roman immediately stopped functioning and russian because that was really important, that fun sick, we're not going to give the russians the rights. so he doesn't use the computer. he

doesn't watch harry potter. he doesn't know what disney is. and so all of this is against the russians, and of course, the russian. and when the state says we're going to give you new mcdonalds, better, we're going to show you are the movies, but better, and what are you going to do? so or so. but when we deal with russia, there was no, we can. we people in the west, they think about psychology of other nations. when there was, she's concerned, the only psychology people remember is boris and natasha. after just a few weeks in the office, donald trump has sought to maximize his power and cultivate a kind of a culture of fear. we see mass deportations. we've seen the tax on several civil liberties. we've seen a purge of the federal government led by the richest man in the world. eli musk. oh, what similarities do you see between american and russian nationalism? well, i mean it's i would not do direct comparison of, of russian america. there's

a different entities. i mean, in many ways there's certain similarities because there and i mean, the soviet union, northwestern soviet union and america because they grew out of something else. because the soviet union grew out of the russian empire. americans who out of a former colony that said with protest and ethics and this period of capitalism. so i wouldn't compare them. but i think with trump, what's interesting is that it almost felt this time even more so. but even the 1st time is if you found the book of how to be dictator, just read it and say, okay, chuck chuck chip, he hasn't done it wasn't picked the toil necessarily in actions as much most of just read or he was what was sort of i call him a match, a dictator at the time. he was a match a dictator. so he was sort of like, he was acting like ronald reagan was acting president. he was acting in the state or in this sense. but it was remarkable because it was almost like a textbook. so here, you know, and i always, your opponents, you cool enemies,

enemies of the people. you prevent people from entering america because all the statue of liberty arguments to give me your poor and your suddenly with just your thoughts are gonna go way go way we don't want white people we, we can take, but now there's no, no, no, no. so in this sense he's, he's sort of a textbook, a textbook authoritarian formula and when people say he's just like puts and he's like, put a note because he looks at pretend and says, i'm going to be like that. no, he just, i want real power. i am real power, i want strongly and i'm strong. and in order to have that all people should be like me. so i think he's a specific. he actually is a product of american democracy as, as said, there's a horrible thing that it is. he's a product of hollywood where a good guys finish last. he's sort of this gordon gecko from wall street. greet is good. suddenly we're all living in that new portion of it. thank you so much for joining me in upfront. thank you. the

i have the right, the boycott, anyone i want to and the state has no business getting involved in that was just opening my annual contract from the state of arizona. and i was rather shocked to see this. the 3 part series explodes, the implications of us and people who called lowest for freedom of speech and 1st amendment. brian got chosen and blessed us because we protect israel. i'm going to continue to do on a state level. all that i can't support that one on which is era that what i could do is international downs festival dancers of whom have survived unspeakable attacks from arm groups linked to ok. it our ice. so take to the stage, turning their suffering into movement. every step is an act of resistance where

these to help meet the ocean is the school attempt created by a 3 year old legendary dancer jenna made that good. there was this whirlwind when the sand spins and i understood that i was connected to the world. dancers from around the world come to master the 64, you need to move mix. she created each shaped by nature, fired from personnel, and be able to reconnect with new address from the edge to the parts of this and beyond. the violence lives a people searching for peace trumps agenda includes everything from tax cuts to immigration, but how much is real and how much is bluster? is it runs footprint across the middle. the shrinking. the trump administration is weighing options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for your a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line,

the, the israel confirms the body handed over by her boss is off. she read the boss a head of a prisoner exchange, coming out of the honey bulk of this, i'll just do a lot from joe. ha. also coming up. donald trump says this plan to take her because there was only a recommendation and i'll send her bleed as meets in reality view and cools and miranda to withdrawal from the democratic republic of congo and condemns this back in november. 23 fights is.
