the the . ringback the, [000:00:00;00] the so i'm sort of in, yeah, it's great to have you with a space is the news our life from don't coming up in the program today. us and ukrainian officials hold talks and saudi arabia while key launches its largest ever drone attack on moscow. syria is government establishes a fact finding committee to look into recent violence that's killed hundreds of

people in the white community, separate this fighters and pakistan attack a train and baluchistan province. there are reports that hundreds of people are being held and doubling down us president donald trump increases terrace on canadian stealing aluminum. fueling a growing trade, unimportant matched united have announced plans to build a new 100000 cedar stadiums. that will be the biggest in britain, $2500000000.00 revenue will replace their old transfer ground and is set to be completed in 5 years. the as talks begin in saudi arabia with the aim of ending the war on ukraine. the fighting is showing no signs of slowing down the countries future is dominating the talks between delegations from ukraine in the united states, the chief of staff, the current president says, discussions has started quote, very constructively,

in the port city of jetta. but this meeting is happening in the shadow of the years long war ukraine has launched its largest ever drone attack on moscow. russia saying that ukraine sense more than 300 drones on monday night killing at least 3 people. the acid bag has been following the talks from keith. we haven't heard a lot from the ukranian side going in juvenile tulips, but we have heard from prisons. lensky is chief of staff stuff, andre government. and what he has said, going into these talks is that he was, he's going to with the intention of protecting ukrainian interest, a clear vision of ending the will. and that they will be working effectively with the american partners. and that is also gone on to say the ceasefire in your brain will not happen to diplomatic means alone. and your credit must be provided with securities guarantees that will ensure the credit ability of a future ceasefire agreement that is also called on europe, saying that you must not allow

a ceasefire. the allows russia to be able to reopen and continue to make the dates taking a ukrainian land and resources. that's what we're hearing from the ukranian side. but of course, we know that presidency is willing to sign this red f minerals deals and the hoping that present trump will continue ministry 8 and intelligent sharing with ukraine. but we know the american wants more than just the signing of this mineral deals. they want concessions and possibly giving up of ukrainian territory that that is a very difficult and politically contentious issue, especially for presidents and that's it. is that and see because at the start of this will and throughout this war he has said that there will be no peace agreement unless russia withdrawal from all your training and territory, including unexplained math, which rest annexed in 2014. now that doesn't look like it's going to happen. any concessions in terms of the pregnancy or treat will affect presence and then there's,

and that's the politically here in ukraine. i said vague. i just say to keep you clean. ukraine has launched as big as drone attack on the russia since the start of the war in 2022, at least 343 drones targeted multiple regions overnight on tuesday, killing at least sweet people else's heroes dorset jibari has more from moscow. this is how people in the outskirts of moscow woke up in the early hours of tuesday morning. it's one of $91.00 ukrainian drones that targeted the russian capital of the 7 residential buildings were damaged the occlusal cruise. i woke up a 5 in the morning from a loud explosion. there were definitely 10 to 12 explosions from the drones flying in by 3 or 4 drones exploded in our yard. i heard several explosions in a row. i woke up and saw original slide towards us through the window,

and then there was an explosion. the glass broke and the house shook. it was scary as officials to assess the damage. the 4 main airports in moscow were forced to stop operations for hours diverting at least 10 plains to other airports. train stations were also temporarily shut down. oh, operations have resumed since the largest ukrainian drone attack on russia comes on a day when the secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe is visiting moscow. he was taken to one of the sites of the attack. the russian foreign ministry spokesperson says the timing of the attack and the visit of the secretary general are not a coincidence. question official say tuesdays attack is an attempt by cuba spoiled, emerging trends toward diplomatic settlements. while the russian defense ministry says the attack is and it sounds like you have to demonstrate its ability to continue the military operation with large scale strikes and civilian targets.

all this comes as russian forces continued to make gains in eastern ukraine, as well as the western region of kirk and russia. that's where our last august, ukraine launched a surprise incursion. seizing nearly 1000 square kilometers of russian territory. since then, russia has retaken nearly 600 square kilometers of its territory. on saturday, the russian defense ministry announced a counter offensive has been launched to retake further settlements in the course region. until now, they have managed to re take control of at least 12 settlements, and roughly 100 square kilometers in that region which broadcasts on the russian state, television show forces use disorder underground gas tunnels to go deep behind ukrainian defenses in the town of su, job in the course region easy, but i see the town has been under key us control since august. and there's been intense fighting in and around the area we door. so jabari l 20. moscow school is

elsa 0 is ellen fisher is in washington dc at the white house allen. it is possible that the us extra estate marco rubio will be addressing the press uh at some point, but it hasn't happened yet. so for now, can you brief us on the parameters of these talks going into the discussions? let me do better than that. i can give you an idea of what's happening at the end of these discussions. there are no reports dropping on both reuters and associated phones press. they are traveling with muckle, reveal who is in jetta. he said he would brief the media after he had discussions with the cleanings and the saudis. and we certainly got an indication from the white house briefing in the last hour when i was with the press secretary saying that they were expecting very positive news to come out of that. and michael rubio would be confirming that very shortly, possibly. now. well, some of those lines that are dropping is that the us state department, ukraine has agreed to conclude as soon as possible

a comprehensive agreement for developing ukraine's critical mineral resources. and they've also agreed that to name that negotiating teams and immediately began new negotiations towards enduring peace and ukraine. express readiness to accept to us proposal to enact an income and then meet it in terms of 2 d. c. spot. uh, the state department says it will lift the pause on intelligence, shooting and resuming security assistance to ukraine, coming in the last few minutes of from jetta at the risk the u. k. is we're certainly looking to the us to resume security, a cooperation, which means getting more arguments from the united states. something that had been stopped by the americans. intelligence corporation was important to us said they went stopping at the ukrainians from defending themselves with the information that was being passed, but they were blocking the active a defensive operations. here's how did this all know fits in. we know that steve white calls,

who is the comes point passing on this and tends to go to more school at next week . he will have discussions at the kremlin, perhaps as high even as what can be a put and given, he know has a framework from ukrainians for the stuff to dc spot. that is something that they can put to the russians. something that donald trump has been very keen on because he believes that will then create the space to discuss a longer peace deal, which of course may be very difficult to negotiate, given both sides of red lines that you don't want to cross. alan, look, i'm listening keenly to everything you're saying. and the headlines, as i said, 1st of all, the us reviews military a to ukraine, which they paused maybe about a week ago and sharing their military intelligence that ukraine, which is vital to the way you can prosecute this war best number one. and then ukraine ready to accept a ceasefire with russia. that's also a big one. and they are going to reach at some point a minerals deal, but they haven't yet. there is nothing in what you brought us here about us

security guarantees. we know this is what ukraine wanted from the us, so it's, this is absent from if this appears to still be at this point, absent from these talks, correct. but the, well donald trump has said that there's it. the fact to security guarantees that if they sign the minerals deal, then we americans who will be there for the boys. the in the exploitation, in sale of those very mental f at deposits. that would mean that the russians would have 2nd thoughts about being involved in, in ukraine. and perhaps we starting towards something that both the french and the british of wanda. but at that, our american, of course, security guarantees. ukraine got them at the end of the collapse of the soviet union when both the united states and others agreed to on the right. security guarantees in exchange for ukraine giving up their weapons, the ukrainians argue that those should still be in place. but clearly they're looking for something much more concrete at this stage,

particularly given. but let them use the landscape this trust of vladimir put and we have that in the oval office for 11 days ago when he said a put in can be trusted. how many spies is he broken? how many agreements has a bus? that is why the need to american security guarantees that appears to be missing at the moment. but perhaps that's something that can be discussed. although we know that donald trump is really, really against that idea. explicit security guarantees for you create a ellen. what do you know at this point on the ceasefire that ukraine might be willing to accept? i want to make it very clear to our viewers. all of this is happening right now. just in the last few minutes. we're getting this information. hold on. we're getting this life press conference that we told you would be happening imminently. this is the us secretary of state marco rubio and the us national security advisor, mike wald, speaking from saudi arabia or costly war, bloody war. and his number one interest is ending this war once and for all. today we made an offer that the ukrainians have accepted which is to enter into

a ceasefire and into immediate negotiations to end this conflict in a way that's enduring and sustainable and accounts for their interest, their security, their ability to prosper as a nation. i want to personally think we both want to thank the king and saudi arabia, his majesty for hosting us, for making this possible. they've been instrumental in this process and we're very grateful to them for hosting us here today. and hopefully we'll make, we'll take this off for an out of the russians. and we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to piece the balls now in their court. and but again, the present subjective. here's number one above everything else. she wants toward the end, and i think today ukraine is taking a concrete step in that regard. we hope the russians will reciprocate. while i just add to the secretary's comments, the ukrainian delegation today made something very clear that they share president trump's vision for peace. they share his determination to in the fighting to in the

killing to end the, the tragic can meet grinder of, of, of people and national treasure that's happening on the front end and, and ukraine. number one, number 2, they made concrete steps. and concrete proposal was not only accepting our proposal for a full ceasefire to which you can see the details of which are in our joint statement that we released together. but we also got into a subset of details on how this war is going to permanently yet uh, what type of, uh, guarantees they're going to have for their long term security and prosperity. but also really looking at what it's going to take. so finally, in this, uh, the really exciting uh, the other piece that i just want to make very clear is president trump started this

diplomatic effort in the oval office talking to both leaders. both president bruton and president's lensky back to back. and now that shuttle diplomacy continues, we have a named delegation in terms of next steps. from the russian side, we have a name delegation in terms of next steps from the ukranian side. i will talk to my russian counterpart uh in the coming days. uh, a secretary. rubio will be with g $74.00 and ministers. uh, in uh, in the next couple of days we have the nato secretary general in the white house uh on thursday. uh, and will take, uh, will take the pro as forward from there. so as a result of that, and i think as a result of uh, of this positive step forward, the president has decided to lift the pause on aid and on our security assistance to ukraine. going forward, and that's effective immediately. all right,

your repression nurse, let's start with alex far for you. some questions on the ccr. we understood the convenience of this. this was the premium proposal for a partial ceasefire. how did this become an error causal for an immediate 30 days use fire in to be clear, you're talking about incomplete ceasefire across the front line, not just the area americans use the premiums for those. and then finally, how do you expect to take this to the russians? is obviously what we are citizens mazda, later this week, president trump, or how that actually happened on the 1st point? new question is yes, it's, it's, that's the offer the offers to stop the shooting, the game. the goal here is the only way to end this war is to negotiate out of it. there's no military solution to this for the solution to this war. and the way to ended and to achieve the for the president's objective of peace is to negotiate. but before you can negotiate,

you have to stop shooting at each other and that's what the president has wanted to see. and that's what, that's the commitment we got today from the ukraine and sign their willingness to do that. obviously. now that will be delivered to the russians. it will be delivered to them directly through multiple channels. meaning, not only will they obviously see it, but we've are, you know, it'll be communicated them to our diplomatic channels, through conversations and other methods. but they're obviously be well aware. and our hope is that the russians will say, yes, they will also agree. so the shooting will stop, the killing will stop the dying will stop and the talks can begin about how to end this war permanently in a way that's acceptable and enduring for both sides. but there's been all kinds of, of discussions in terms of different types. subsea spires, you know, there was a, there was the deal in terms of grain moving years ago. there's been discussion of uh, halting ariel tax on each other's infrastructure. the president made has made it clear and,

and certainly made it clear to us that all fighting needs to stop and ukrainians have agreed to that proposal. they're ready for peace. and now we'll take that to the russians and, and get their response. all right. jennifer jacobs. great. hi. take any goodwill gestures from russia. you have to have a line in line to reciprocate on that. well on. we're going to take the offer to them. we're going to tell them this is what's on the table. ukraine is ready to stop shooting and start talking, and now it'll be up to them to say yes or no. i hope they're going to say yes. and if they do that, i think we made great progress, as they say, knows and well, unfortunately know what the impediment is to peace here. but the presence been abundantly clear. he wants the shooting to stop, he wants to warfare to stop. he wants the dying and the suffering to stop. and he believes, and rightfully so, that the only way to end this war is to negotiate and into it. and we think that it's always easier to negotiate an end of the war when people aren't shooting at each other. that's all the president believes. that's what we hope to achieve the

ukrainians today of expressed their willingness and readiness to do so. immediately . we hope the russians answer to that will also be yes for the deadline. is we hope to do this as soon as possible. every day that goes by. that's where continues people died, people or bomb people are heard on both sides of this conflicts. the president wanted this word and yesterday, and the day before the presence been clear, he wants peace. and so we want to see it as soon as possible. so our hope is that the russians will answer yes as quickly as possible. so we can get to the 2nd phase of this, which is real negotiations, not never ending dialogue, di, you know, talk forever, but real negotiations to end of this conflict in a way that's acceptable to both sides sustainable. and that ensures disability and security of ukraine for the long term. and this own children or anything that you're expecting. like we, we've discussed a number of things present or exchanges. uh, the folks that were detained and what have you. but the finding us to stop me and that's what we agreed today and just think about it,

we've gone from if the war is going to and to now how the war is going to end. and this was a, this was an important 1st stuff and that was under president trump's leadership. he has literally moved the entire global conversation to where we had a very senior ukrainian delegation with us today. we've had engagements with our russian counterparts. and now it's how the war is going to end, and that's under president trump's leadership, just to answer your question one more time. the, the goal here is peace that's present to go. the number with the best good well gesture the russians can provide say yes to say yes to the offer that the ukrainians have made to stop the shooting. to stop the fighting and get to the table. if they do that, that's the best goodwill sign we can see obviously as part of that negotiation as we're talking about in this conflict, there will be a lot of issues to unravel. among them, not the least of which is the humanitarian concerns, the children, the prisoners of war, all the things that side of it come with these conflicts. but the number one good well gesture we could see from the russians is to see that you create an offer and

reciprocated with a yes, this x ray or staff. thank you so much, bye. what security assistance and deals time, sheets, they're on track. well, on let me answer the 2nd quarter or the 3rd you have to put and then i'll let the security adviser talk about the defense and security assistance on the 2nd question . well, let me answer 1st on the minerals deal. this as the, as part of our communication today. now that is something that was negotiated through our treasury and his counterpart on the ukrainian side. and so the president and you see that express both presidents will instruct the appropriate members of our governments to bring to finality the signature of the deal. and the does the signature of this agreement so that that is communicated today. and that's going to happen. that was not the subject of our talks today. i thought i made, you know, i expressed that on our way in our we were here in pursuit of peace. that doesn't mean the minerals deal is not very important. and most certainly is,

and we express that today and the statements we put out jointly that the president, our respect, the presidents have instructed the appropriate members of other other governments to bring this to finality and to conclusion. the 2nd part of your question was that was one after that. yeah. what's back on track here? hopefully it's piece. that's what matters the most. i know everyone's looking for who likes this is. this is serious stuff. ok, we're not, this is not mean girls. this is not some episode of some to. busy vision show, this is very serious. people are going to today. people will die in this war. they died yesterday and sadly, unless there's a ceasefire tonight, they'll die tomorrow. the president wants that to stop. that's what he's interested in here. that's why we came here. that's why we're grateful for the kingdom of saudi arabia, hosting us here. and what we life levy are with today is a commitment that the ukrainians are ready to stop fighting. they're ready to stop the shooting so that they can get to the table and bring about peace for their country and for the world on the security. well, i mean, i just can't eco enough present trumps for as an a piece. that's what he's

demanding, and he's willing to take tough measures on that on all sides to, to drive that home. and in terms of the security assistance, it's the current presidential drawdown authority. i'll refer to the defense department on the each is of what munition was, where in the process, but it's the current p d a. uh that will that will proceed to the ukrainians. all right, thank you. yeah, yeah, thanks for your patience. no problem. okay, full of content there you've been listening to the us secretary of state marco rubio and the us national security advisor mike was they were both speaking from jetta in saudi arabia where they've just held and concluded a 9 hour long meeting with a russian delegation that was composed of the chief of staff as the head of the office of the ukrainian president, along with the ukrainian foreign minister. lots of news, we're going to break it down with our correspond allen fisher,

who's in washington dc here at the white house. and i was hoping maybe we could compare notes, it seems to me there are several major headlines coming out of this. not the least of which is ukraine, accepting a full ceasefire. there's some question as to whether it was their proposal to us proposal, but at the end of the day, that's going to end up not mattering a whole lot. the fact is they're accepting a false ceasefire. and i'm quoting rubio here. the ball is now in the court of russia. they have to say yes. otherwise will again, a quote will know who here is the impediment to peace and quote, what a change in the way that the united states is talking about ukrainian just 11 days . remember, when blood him is lensky was case type of the white house campus. it was michael rubio who went to him and says that he had to leave because they felt that he wasn't serious about piece, not a he's talking about a c spy that has been greed and principle by the ukrainians. as long as the

russians reciprocate. and so now michael rubio sees the pressure being on the russians as a rightly pointed out. people will die in this war, probably in the next hour, probably in the next 6 hours until there's an answer from the russians. there will continue to be people die. certainly the ukrainians work suggesting before the talks and jetta, but they were looking at a limited sort of see spot. perhaps they were going to stop using drawings in aircraft. perhaps there be no military operations in the black sea, but the americans were pushing more the idea of a complete c spot that appears to be accepted by the ukrainians and didn't return. what they get, of course, is the idea that the united states will restart military support for ukraine, which would be installed in the last 577 days. and also intelligence support, which had been blocked when it came to offensive actions against the russians. so that to send a message to the russians, look, you need to move because at the moment we are behind you, your training is we have got there. but as far as providing more weapons,

that will be a bucket of cold water effectively for the russians. and so that moves the needle, and certainly the whole needle has moved in the last $34.00 weeks since donald trump said that he wanted to bring peace to ukraine on stockton, concrete actions. go to remember. he said he had a plan that within the war within 24 hours of taking office, it's taking a bit longer than that. but certainly what we're hearing from the american officials is made in cottage by those talks and jetta and the believe they have moved the situation forwards to an alan, there was say again, a quote here from markham video, ukrainians shared donald trump's vision. so piece, i mean that it sounds like a simple, innocuous quote, if you don't know the context. and the context is the 10 days ago, the creating president was kicked out of the white house with, with donald trump then explaining he's not ready for peace. right. he said it and then he wrote it on truth social and that has been the line from the americans for 10 days saying, hey ukraine is being pet them at here. and now they're saying,

well, exactly the opposite question. i wanted to ask you a full cease fire. so what had been floated before was a partial ceasefire. stop fighting on a stop fighting in the air and stopped fighting, etc. that's not what they're talking about anymore. they're talking about a full ceasefire. so as i said, it looks as if the american proposal, which was more comprehensive in nature, has been accepted by the ukrainians. they went with the idea and certainly that's what they were briefing before. they told me that there would be a limited c spy. all the sorts, but the fighting on the ground would continue it. the americans wanted to see a complete c spot of believing that that would create the space to allow them to negotiate a much longer at peace deal and perhaps a final deal. and certainly it's interesting that marco rubio was saying that they've been talking about what the long term security and stability of ukraine

would look like. and what security guarantees they would need, which suggest that this stays perhaps the american saying that we give them security guarantees hasn't been real data. but that could be an effective tool when it comes to sitting down in negotiating. it could also be something that the russians object to. we know the british and the friendship suggested that they could form a level of peacekeeping force in the area. that is something that the russians are not keen on. they have said they don't want to see natal trips in ukraine. all of this has got to be negotiated. of course, that final piece talks, no one is ever going to come in and say, this is the deal and the other side going to say sign in both sides have good red lines. the idea of the americans and the saudis is to bring them closer until we can get an agreement. that would mean an end to war, which is rates for 3 years in central europe, allan fisher reported from the white house there. thank you very much. i'm going to bring it as a big was in keith. i will note acid just before i throw it to you,

the rubio said seems to be scolding one of the reporters saying this is not some episode of a tv show, which is what's interesting, let's say, interesting, given that the americans are largely responsible for turning this into a spectacle, when they excoriated the training president publicly in front of the camera, it's not something you typically see in global diplomacy. but anyway, here we are. so it looks like ukraine. it's based on what the americans are saying . it sounds like this is could not have gone better for you crate. is that fair? pretty much i into, i just wanna makes it make some the just draw your attention to a statement that presents that lensky has just released. and is it just just as in, in this last moments what he said in his, on his official telegram channel is, are you trying retraining proposals for this meeting with the americans? was 33 things, sizes in the skies, dismissal as bonds, long range, drones and sizes at the seat and really measures to establish trust in this entire

situation in which diplomacy is ongoing. first of all, the release of prisoners. now going in to this meeting, renew that ukraine was suggesting a cx 5, but the, an a one know drones missile and so forth. and one at c now looks like a complete ceasefire. actually, it doesn't look like it, that's what's on the table now. he, he also said that the american side understands ukraine's arguments unacceptable. proposals and he wants to thank everybody. and he says that uh, ukraine accepts this proposal. you consider it positive, you are ready to take such a step. and this is basically in the course of the russians. we've also heard from his chief of stuff on the andrea yard mackinac, he has he, what he has said is that the ukrainians check the vision for peace as united states . and he said that they have agreed to this temporary 30 day seats 5 which may be extended by mutual consent,

subject to the acceptance and some obtaining is implemented to implementation by the russians. not something that the ukrainians have been bringing up is a release of prisoners detain civilians and forcibly displaced ukrainians. they said that they've discuss that with the americans. there's 2 monitoring effort that should take place during deceased by us. uh, but that's what's on the table at the moment, but also this minerals deals that ukraine has agreed to sign you to remember that was a contentious before, not everyone here. ukraine agrees with it. but because your brain is willing to sign that, it looks like the united states will lift that paused a minute or 28 intelligence sharing. yeah, and the us says, the ball is now in russia's court houses here, as i said, vague reporting from the ukranian capital. thank you. i said the

israel has released for liberties, nationals detained after the war with his law live in. no one has confirmed that it's received them and says
