was to be put off meeting trump in the oval office in front of the media. i think it's just the cost of doing business. it's just how business is done. i think that uh, president trump is showing this uh, this, these to address or, or this his need or desire for political theatre for a long time. and so i think it was interesting also to see you had the damage. so we just saw where present zones, he pushed back more on the vice president vance on entry president trump. they didn't like that. and as opposed to i think that present macro and maybe the british prime minister still pushed back. but a different way, different techniques. i think is all about the delivery the technique. and i think that still, we, uh, international leaders will still engage with president trump. it's just a matter of how it's done and the steward will continue. and in the end, how do you think russia is going to be looking at this and, and do you see this as

a win for russia? i think it's difficult to say if it's a, when it's certainly i think it's damaging to or a res favorable to russia that it sees or could view. this fisher, this crack between ukraine and it's most valuable military, political, and economic factor back or in united states. i would expect russia would seize on this opportunity in the media space and how it continues it's messaging in the next 24 hours. but i still think that all is not as last that are still, as i mentioned, this is a, a political noise lot of global noise. so it's important in substance a what continues to happen and what can be hashed out away from the cameras away from the, from the, the, the political circus in theater, if you will, that we just witnessed. okay, we'll leave it there. a former pentagon official adam clements joining us in washington dc. we thank you for your time. it ends in the last few minutes. so

lensky has posted on act. so he wrote this. thank you america. thank you for your support. thank you for this visits. thank you. at post congress and the american people, ukraine needs just the last thing piece and we are working exactly for that. so that's just happened in the last few minutes. this last week to samuel a romani was an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. joining us from london, thanks for your time before we drill down into some of the topics and the implications of this, just just give me your sort of overall reading as to what we saw in the white house . well, there was definitely a long build up to that would turn basically describing polanski is a decatur and urging. yeah. be great. hold elections as soon as possible, even though there's marshal law and in the printing rad that basically voted to ensure that elections are not be held until after the war was over. and, and they were also at the last reject, the ukraine's police renewed the membership and security guarantees. so basically

what we saw had a long build up and it just blew over emotionally with i think bands and trump appealing to the in thing. so the mega base which wants to abandon the support for your grand and take a very hard line as landscape. here's what the reuters news agency is reporting right now saying the trump actually made the decision to call off the signing ceremony with zelinski. this is attributed to a white house official when it comes to that minerals deal that was meant to be signed. does this mean the cancellation of the deal to me is the cancellation of the deal. i think that obviously the deal is showing a lot of flexibility. i mean, the united states initially wanted to go over $500000000.00 the minerals ukrainians, were able to kind of water down into something that was more of a reconstruction of raymond, rather than just pure collateral for military that was provided before. and trump, just as recently as a yesterday and today was still talking about the deal as something that was a major victory and major success. so i don't think that is going to be cancelled.

i think that there will be, however, i also to be real, as i'm about the feasibility of ukraine giving these minerals the assets. it costs about $1000000000.00 to make herrera's mind. could you get the seniors to mind these minerals? maybe in this time, the way the us will realize that these minerals maybe either not there or be hired to strengthen, you might think, and that might kick the can down the road further. just to elaborate a little bit. if you may on the deal and tell us why it's important for ukraine, why it's also important for the us. well, i mean, i think is extremely important for you ran because it gives the united states as your dietrich interest of the region to stay in ukraine beyond the end of the war and us that it has the best interest. the rain security is getting access to day 10 am. if you the access to lift, you have the access to so many minerals that it needs for us to use. read your competition with china and for the americans. they obviously don't want the

materials to be overwhelmingly concentrated in russian hands already about 53 percent of them are. and if you create loses the proper trask or part of it, which is the region right next to the front lines that the people of the present goes up to more than 60 percent. so the us is it us interest to ensuring that russian doesn't gain control over those minerals can even if it gains a normalization of relations with russia and some of the sanctions, i lifted rushes primary, trade partner and rushes primary partners. so china and that will still be beneficial for china. those minerals are in russian hands. what do they? europeans do next? you speak to us from london. a report of charles stratford was saying that a zaleski is in fact going to be in europe in london in about 2 days time. how do you think your opinions are viewing this and what do they do? so initially there's been a bit of an outcry inside europe. i mean, even if you're in britain alicia, occurrence has a very prominent conservative m. p for him. policy wise, came out and really castigated trump in vance for attacking polanski, who,

who was basically framing him as a courageous leaders heading against regression. and this was on called for. so there's a lot of anger in europe right now towards what happened. but that being said, i think they will be coming to the drawing board. i think we will see just time or our prime minister here really pushing for other european countries to increase their defense spending. he's already increasing to 2 and a half percent. and then on to 3 percent in 5 years time. and also that will be pledges of new military assistance perhaps to ukraine, as well as a stronger push for security guarantees, right honorable show of solidarity with the brain. but that might create a bigger risk for the assets. and i mean that is something that we heard from storm or just earlier this week when he was at the white house. and he said that the u. k . is in fact, willing to put boots on the ground. absolutely, the british will renew that place. but boots and the brand, i mean, it's unclear exactly with that plan entails, does it mean a large scale garrison that would deter russian and russian, or would it be smaller for us that basically trans ukrainian troops to be better

using native land swapping? right. i mean, the specifics aren't there, but the sentiment is there, and certainly french president emanuel macro with pro set in the past, but times wavered on it might come up with a stronger position. but the problem is inside your up, there really isn't a consensus around putting boots on the ground, even poland said now in spite of its proximity to russia, and all of everything is done for ukraine, and germany also is inclined to do it either. okay, we'll leave it there as i know romani speaking to us from london and we thank you so much. thank you very much. i the still ahead on alba 0 will have more analysis for you on those extraordinary scenes from the white house. we'll also have an update for you from gaza as the next phase of ceasefire talks between how nice and israel gets underway in kyra the

the had a lot of that. let's get the weather across europe over the weekend and things are looking pretty quiet across the north where it remains very mild. it's down in the south. we've seen the development of that unsettled weather and something of a cool down that will sweep into the south west. so there's a heavy rain on saturday for italy, blustery conditions across the belly, eric islands with some heavy rain to come for spain and portugal, particularly southern pots of spain. now east was still quite a bit of a wintry mix, moving across the balkans, much dryer. however, for greece and to kia and this wintery features moving across the baltics, on woods to crane and western russia, there's also spouses, sunshine, however, co central parts of europe affecting scandinavia as well. the winter weather, however, edging into western pots of nowhere, but they were dry and bright to spies for britain and the island divided west in

pots of france as well. and looking at wounds coming into scan today, be a 10 degrees in also on sunday, but it's getting a lot colder for spain. we've got heavy rain down in the very cell affecting eastern areas as well. and you look at madrid, we'll see some wintery features a to the north of that, on the 7 degrees in madrid on sunday. and the, when much day arrives, the green army comes to life with football is not all they shout about a club where societies disenfranchised of the loudest voice. and political defence take center stage. they on the roof goes resistance. the officers of roger casablanca defends, who make football on which is the the,

[000:00:00;00] the, however gun, the top stories on out to 0, this, our ukrainian president. i'll let him as a lensky has abruptly left the white house without a deal that was aimed at helping. and the war with russia, this, after meeting with the us president turned into a shouting match. donald trump says the landscape can return when she's ready for peace. okay, we're crossing over to our correspondence. allen fisher, who's joining us from the white house. alan,

tell us what you're seeing right now and also the landscape has been speeding that he has. i don't, i'm going to tell you that as i look to my life, which is just in front of the oval office, the exit where the blood them years, the landscape last, what good. just about an hour ago. there is a figure from the white house who is getting a lot of press attention. i can actually see through the throng of people you perhaps through the video speeds that we have. have a better idea of who is actually standing there by suspect that the trump administration is now sending people to make sure that their version of events is front and center. let them use the landscape as you see has tweeted within the last 20 minutes or so. thank you, america for the visit sign king, the president of the united states for their support and essentially saying that he will be back of this is damage control on his part. this has been quite incredible . we've often told about diplomatic meetings where there was a frank exchange of views,

that would be putting what happened in the last couple of hours here at the white house and very mildly indeed inside the oval office. i was have kept secrets for years, played out in front of the cameras. we solve, let them use the landscape. ged binds and president. donald trump vigorously argue about the war in ukraine. donald trump warning that if it wasn't for american support, then the ukrainians would lose the battle very quickly and accuse him of being disrespectful to the oval office to himself and also to the people of the united states. and so you could understand why there was all in my apologies all, and i'll just stop here for just a moment because we're going to listen to lindsey graham speaking right now, let's, let's here. what is the 2nd piece to do a deal with the united states after what i saw? i don't know the world. what did he say to

you about? he thinks he was shot. he was very up. think i told the lift gate. we'll talk about security guarantees. we'll talk about these fires and how the war ends. this is a process. you have a new relationship with america, a $500.00 b and a half a trillion dollar deal. that president trump is proud of. that gives us an interest worth defending less talk about the positive, but he was terrible at munich the landscape. and i think he has made it almost impossible the sales of the american people that he's a good invest. but the, the venue you think, presidents awards, he needs to resign to assume these piece team, either needs to resign and send somebody over the we can do business with. or he

needs to change for you on the okay, so you are listening to that as a republican senator lindsey graham, speaking from washington. d. c. do we have alan fisher still standing by for us allen? so look, now reaction has been coming through. we did hear from some european leaders earlier on who supported zelinski, and now we're hearing from senators over in the us, the lives that that's important. lindsay dreams important because he is quite a senior figure in the foreign policy committee on the senate. he's a very close ally of donald trump. he is being a very big supporter of the ukrainians and very critical of let them you're putting when he started today and says he either has to change or resign. you can see the

level of frustration that the american top a clearly this meeting did not go well. there are people who will say that the biggest one are out of all of this because the americans didn't get their f minerals of the contract that they wanted. let them use the landscape, did not get security guarantees, but the russians managed to split the ukrainians and the united states in a way. they were never able to do over the last 3 years. that clearly both sides will want to put the best spent on this, but it's been an incredible few hours here at the white house. we've never seen diplomacy cutting in front of the cameras quite the way it happened. never seemed so openly critical exchanges between 2 so called allies and then effectively after the left, the oval office, there was an exchange between both sides and the ukrainians. we are told try to get things back on track,

try to get the rear minerals deal signed that did not happen effectively. marco ruby with the secretary of state and mike bolts, the national security advisor suggested the flooding mirrors that lensky should leave the white house compass and come back when he was ready to talk to some sort of piece deal effectively. blood to me as the landscape was kicked out of the white house and we had to leave and we saw the car driving behind me. what was that? but i know a girl was his phone jack too easy, and clearly now he's heading back to your cream. there has to be mixed reaction around the world to this. it's not uniform by all means, but clearly released is between the united states and ukraine. have been badly damaged by the events of the last couple of hours. and allen, this is according to a white house official, and the reuters news agency saying that it was president trump, who made the decision to call off the signing ceremony with zillow lensky. well it, it's clear that donald trump grew increasingly frustrated while he was in the oval

office. he made it very clear that he felt that the ukrainian should be more grateful. he said at one point your, you wouldn't be able to, i the hard mind, the tough guy, i'm not quite sure what the, what, where, but he said you wouldn't be able to play that role without the support of the americans. how do you felt have loaded me as the landscape was in the fact of lecturing them about, but what was going on? it's clear that donald trump would like to see a peace deal. it is clear that talk about a peace deal has only come about in the last 3033 days since he took office. but it is clear that the prospect is not as remote as it has been simply because of what happened on the relationship that now exists between keys and donald trump's white house. okay, allen, thank you so much for that reporting from the white house. charles stratford now joining us from keith to tell us what sort of reaction charles,

you're hearing on your end as well. we've had some reaction from the ukraine in prime minister, already dentistry smiled, tweeting that sentence key was right in, in this move that to that should be no peace without guarantees. peace is not possible. there's also being some reaction from the man of key if it's all the clips go. the former world heavyweight bulk, so who says that he ups ukraine does not lose us support, which is crucial. now is not the time for our emotions. we must look for common ground, the general feeling the online, certainly amongst everyday ukrainians. looking at social media post is one of pride . they saying that. so let's keep us right. it's a 2 to drop to emphasize the importance of the security guarantees. security guarantees that the donald trump said he couldn't,

couldn't make. bear in mind that trump is already said in the last couple of days or so ukraine, he's not going to under his watch, get entrance into nato. there is going to be no. us boots on the ground, a huge pressure. now i'm on the europeans, but i think it was really important to point out that suddenly the optics of that press conference will was very bad indeed. certainly for anybody wanting a chance to zalinski to, to voice his concerns. they were times where a reporter would ask you a question. supposed to lead is donald trump will answer that question and zalinski was not given an opportunity until in fact, he bought it in and said look, you've got to give me a chance to reply. you're going to give me a chance to, to answer these questions and he spoke about some a ceasefire. donald trump saying, you know, if, if you're not going to take us a spot in the fighting will go on. well, the southern sky said the, this is

a war notes between the us and russia. this is a war between russia and ukraine. ukraine. it needs to be at the negotiating table, and you need to ask our people about what they think about to see spa highlighting the failed attempts to getting peace back in 20142015. during the minutes. get colds, most of which failed. trump said that it wasn't on his watch. when the 65 i lation will going on and resiliency pointed out that during 2016 that was 65, all ations that were made by russia during trumps watch. so the situation is certainly the mood here is, is one of, of, of great uncertainty, despite this pride that seems to be pretty pervasive amongst people saying that the united zalinski did the right thing. great concerns as to as to where we are now as

an excuse, having left the white house, we can only presume that he's not going to waste much time in getting to london where we understand he's going to be meeting around at least 10 european leaders in the next couple of days. so what kind of support is he now going to be looking for, especially from the europeans what he's going to be looking for as much european support. one can only imagine as, as he can get a number of european nations saying that they are prepared to step up the contribution to nato. and that has been office for full peace keeping fullest bodies of say by that, by the french and by the british. but we are a long way off of that at the moment. um, i think the general fear is as well that we could well see an escalation potential, the bar it by, by russian full. she is trying to exploit this,

this sense of beeping security. so that it is that then she goes to europe with the europeans, already pledging as much support as they can. europeans, desperate to try and get the ducks in a row unhappy. and for the last couple of weeks since these drastic changing direction from trump. uh, because yes, without the us support, it is up to you or up to, to step in to compensate for the lack of potentially, of us support. and if indeed, there is going to be ongoing fighting, and we're not going to cease to csc spa, even more support, whether the europeans can do this with their own respective domestic pressures in their own countries. that remains to be seen. so additional pressure on you are repeating, lead is, is an inch key, heads in that direction, one can only think in the next 24 to 48 hours. okay, thank you. charles, thank you so much for that report and from keith will not speak to pablo filed in

our who's a defense on that list. joining us from moscow, mr. falls in our welcome to alex's 0. and speaking of the europeans look, the french foreign minister has just said this. hooton's, russia is the aggressor. there is one necessity. europe. now the time for words is over time for action. what's your reaction to these comments as well the, your teams will be trying to support your brain, maybe trying to stepping up what it's going to be rather hard. so your brain to resist the russian militarily without american support. which right now is very questionable, even if you are is ready to pay for american weapons supply into your brain. that was the suggestion that you had some time ago because being published around right now in the washing done begins and ends,

the end of trump theme has of course, a seriously impacted of the crating and the birds. but well, that's how the situation is right now. um, when you say it has seriously impacted, i mean, what are you basing that on because things are not over just yet, are they? well no, but it's clear that the drum circle right now being saying that the landscape doesn't want these but puts in one space that's there. there is a possibility that the sky link will be a switch though, for your brain, which would be a serious blow to the brain in information exchange infrastructure there. so the different problems that united states can bring to bear on, do you bring in to be more crawford before just to punish them as

the term tends to be rather vindictive in his dealings. so this is a dangerous situation for the inquisitive to believe that he cannot give more grounds in the present situation. and the only thing the most widely inside your brain that is going to be a big for him right now. it seems that police but on the battlefield, best to be a serious problem. and in moscow there was there, of course everyone's going to be, i've been to see them see. and trump public where you are in total disarray. yeah, i wanted to ask you, i mean, what sort of reaction is there in moscow at this hour to the event special? the says to me, it's just news coming in and it's a friday night at moscow, but i'm how will they be view and that should be that there's going to be a lot of re,

it's not rejoicing that sort of wait those you. so you're breaking news, i'm not trustworthy. is it m g is a bad? we're the crazy leader. will be bosco, kind of fine coming from us, so that uh, russian america should resolve this crisis and don't really pay much attention on the present. and present regime should be replaced. that has to be o is the main theme of the russian, the main strategic objective of the russian policies in your pray. what do you think this all means for any peace agreement going forwards on the end of the war in ukraine, which is what trump has been speaking about. and he campaigned on the, she says that he doesn't want visa. i mean, it's hard to imagine now is going to be solely between america and russia. but

the, the negotiations begin, moslin, washington will continue to improve what the 1st of all the relations may be further on other relations. and maybe during the week, put pressure on your b and then your brain to also follow suit. it's right now until you're at the beach for the trump administration. this uh uh, bridge. uh wow. in washington or something unexpected, they were finding just to sign the agreement. they were fighting for something different. they will have to improvise. okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for the time being powerful fault and how're your defense analyst. you are joining us from moscow. we thank you for your time. a. thank you. okay, we are going to take a break right here and i'll just 0 back in just a moment and we'll have the latest news for you and all the latest headlines coming out of the oval office in washington dc. this our see in
