conservation, it's really scary, it's a really uncertain time for those of us who care about conservation and public plan . so i am definitely worried for the future. people living near yosemite park depends on tourism. there's also concern now that your visitors in the future will mean less business. they be around here, pretty depressed their little worried about what's going to happen, when's, how much further? is it going to go? tom's policies have shaken employees who work in yosemite, and now they fear one of the most spectacular and highly tragic parks in the us. is that risk of decline? katia lopez again, what does their security forces in some of the say they've killed hundreds of ice will. fights is in an offensive in northeastern state of portland and re taking control of several towns and villages. this ministry has also been carrying out as strikes the tons of mohammad now reports so many governments or just beckoning ices,

like those in the countries planned regions. these mountains used to be a safe haven for the uncle in accessible for these troops. but not anymore. they climbed the mountains and put snipers and machine guns. they wanted to kill anyone who came close to the mountains, but someone brave soldiers killed many of them and took their guns. we are ready to die for a land and will continue until they bring it to a country. for several weeks, both sites have been engaged in gum buckles so many i'm you officially see hundreds of i still fight this. i've been killed. many of them for the nationals, the estimate numbers are 4 or 5 is where actually like somebody to before around 7800. and i think a sofa and the number so that we through the air strikes and the military operations and the hundreds. so around for 500 years he'd have taken more than 50 basis from the um but that has come across more

than a dozen. soldiers have been cute and many injured but they have the support of the us army that has carried out several strikes. washington sees the f killed, senior member suffice, so the ice affiliate in somebody and matched in 2015 as a pretty can we function from our shop? the i'll guide the link i'm group that's most be active in the self. officials implant said offense if we continue until the last fight, this company should or killed him him just just before we go, let's just let me show you this. so you know, to offer prison where we're expecting the 620 palestinian prisoners and detain needs to be released shortly. and they will then end up in garza con unit. so most of them will share just outside the european hospital and we'll have more of that as the daycares. i'll see you soon. bye. for now

the i have the right, the boy costs 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 3 part series explodes, the implications of us and people who called lowest for freedom of speech and 1st amendment rights got chosen and blessed us because we protect israel. i want to continue, do want to state level all that i can't support that one to build on, which is era as the war and ukraine interest, it's 4th year. the note ministration in washington is promising in immune at peace deal. so what, what a truck broker deal look like for ukrainians, and what it represents a fundamental shift in russia's global standing this week on upfront. i'll ask those questions. the historian,

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 early predictions that russia would quickly capture keith and take control of ukraine's 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. are you surprised that this is what the war looks like as we enter a year for? actually, i'm 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 when didn't really because they 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. spider operation, which is puts 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 would 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 they expect it 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 ukraine and make it russia, 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 as 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 to your benefits. and his response was for america, the whole world is pure events that 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. although 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. a truck, i suppose, relation to the food. and as we know, both leaders have praised each other in the past quite generously, in fact. and there are concerns that 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 rushing some day. are you concerned about what a trump brokerage piece deal might look like as well? i mean, i am concerned about anything trump deal would look like them. and generally, i'm concerned the truck trump globally. so as far as me to goes, everybody knows that ukraine's 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 was still the executive, the, the quote but something, something like the piece negotiation of is joining made. it was never part of negotiations which of course for the ukrainians like wait a minute, i thought that that's the only thing that we were fighting about, right? that's what the russian fall begins the war about is the need. but apparently, according to our crew to that was never the case. so very few people believe that the russian would ever, under any circumstances agree that ukraine will join it unless rashid's defeated. but, you know, idea you to defeat 11 rights and vets on likely right. and the trumpet said, basically 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 was going to 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 the modem said, it's not going to happen. 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 food and what's the long term consequences that potentially as well it's in europe is 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 us americans, thinking about the world problems, is that we 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 be here, but 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 munich, and she lectured europeans on, on the neglect of the values. and the reason they all in this problem because they have the, they gave up on bill is that right? because trump has an incredible amount of values. so yes they are,

they are upset. but that's the question. so he's dealing with puts in and i think he's beating them. and that's that probably part of the switch and loves to the most that trump is showing europeans and joe biden, 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, oldest 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. and what's the trip out of the equation just for a moment. but 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 seating land to rush it as a matter that happens, no matter who's in the white house. so i think ukraine can ukraine itself can not

win this war by itself. and i, 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 a 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 not when a go against 145000000 people of russian, it did incredibly well. i mean that's we give it to you, craig, and i mean it's an incredibly brave country with it, with a lot of stime in that and self recognition. and it's wonderful, but they can't physically, they can't with. and so it's made to didn't go all the way in ukraine, has no, and never had it pots of winning. so the world 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 he got anyway, but to great a detriment to everything else. so yes, we have to admit that put in did not lose all the he didn't get all he wanted, so he didn't win, but he still did not lose and certainly lost less than ukraine or europe did 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 that 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 uh so when puts in basically acting as non democrat old america one to cold war. i think joe biden good incense and he told him he wasn't mode or and he told him he can not be this man. can not that it cannot 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 it, it, it 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 ends up hanging the codes, vic, oh my god, how, what, what did you do to us? how did you, how did it happen? and so, yes, i think it's a tremendous embarrassment. and i, if i channel my george ken and i would say, because america does not have a policy, it had politics. you mentioned putting, being and profit 25 years. lots happened over that time. after annex 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 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 reset relationship, be friends, but then the on the minus all the time, there is no. so we want security guarantees in europe and need to is expanding and nobody recognizing my great position at the table. the 600000000 right though. oh no. the reason he's not, i mean, i understand his concerns because, you know, often isn't american. you think you better than anybody else, even if you don't think you 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, especially 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 a convince that you award not being on the mind because everything has done is just like, well, we have just rush, he's disregard the golf course. rush, he's disregarded because the only thing it knows is sending thanks. i mean, how can you not be disregarded? so how does that approach effect russia and the big picture global standing? well, now with trump this standing together, i mean the, i mean, 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 resignation. 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 of russia paid 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 know 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 to, to america, and he didn't lose. i mean that's, that's something to be accounted for in the world that is northwestern. and so that's another mistake i think on, on, on,

on the part of your pm countries that sort of set themselves up against everybody else is like, oh, we are, is just the bread formally, the diplomat of europe, which probably we wrote the whole idea of what the limit of europe may 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, put in in the fight immediately after that statement. in all of this discourse, the united states often invokes international law and democracy. a. it's an interesting and compelling argument, except the us often violates the spirit of democracy and undermines contravenes international law in places right? if can to stay in or or israel palestine. to what extent is that contradiction undermining the use of the ability to invoke those? those ideals, and that's what pretends 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, all. good mexico. wonderful. 51st state of canada. oh awesome. so the things that he, he says we is, america's a big corporation. we can do it. it's the small businesses that small little things that cannot do so it doesn't do mine, 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 influence is still infinitely better the north american influence. i mean, we have to agree with that and point, but putting says no, if you are lying, i'm going to point out to you every time when you like. it was interesting to a john bolton, who was the un ambassador unto 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 joe biting didn't one 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 rush. it cannot be trusted. russian once the war all over the world and they are for a generally american. he is a powerful country, it is the richest country, it is a country that service 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 rush, it just doesn't allow any hypocrisy. because if you're going to lecture me,

then show me how you uphold this. oh, you're not upholding this. so who are you as, as a, as a gay level expression for administer? one time said to, i think somebody british, british diploma. who is that, who the hell are you to lecture me? even 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 you in isn't to this whole kind of agenda of us against everybody else. it's much more kind of framed as rush. he's the greatest. everything is going to be wonderful, which is exactly that. and so the only to escape with fuchs escape places are

bookstores, where still selling, you know, everything including georgia, will that you walk into every books to, to judge 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 that has happened scapes completely, physically, to escape. so, so that's how rushing has change 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 clothes for these very orwellian, very 98 for 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 this requote fuel going to heat the whole rush are you actually strengthened inputs 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 is 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 sent and 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 the 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 will 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. important 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 check. 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 all 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, so they think about psychology of all the nations. when there was, she is 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 using the tax on civil 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 a 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,

check, check, check. he hasn't done it yet. she wasn't pick the tauriel necessarily in actions as much mostly 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 so it looks like he was acting like ronald reagan was acting president. he was acting in the state or in a sense. but it was remarkable because it was almost like a textbook. so he, you, 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 flipped suddenly with just your thoughts. i couldn't go way go way. we don't want white people we, we can take, but others. 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. know, he just, i ones will power. i am real power i once from again,

i'm strong. yeah. in order to have that all people shouldn't 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. what 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. and then of course you have a thank you so much for joining me and upfront. thank you. the, the folks is in europe's launch, the economy are heading to the poles with the far right expected to make its biggest gain since the 19 thirty's, the german election could restrain your fate without a 0 for the latest updates on things that finality of the german federal election the,
