it's nato and visions. positions that clash sharply with cubes. goals, washington says it's agreed to hold talks with moscow vein on ending the war. let's take a look at that meeting between president savanski and vice president vance. we had a number of people, conversations, a number of things for us to follow up and work on. and fundamentally, the goal is, as president trump outlined it, we want the war to come to a close. we want the going to stop, but we want to achieve a durable lasting piece. not the kind of piece is going to have eastern europe in conflict just a couple years down the road. so we have a number, a good conversation about how we might accomplish that together and certainly what many more in the, in the days, weeks and months to come for. there's one thing, thanks so much. thank you very much. where it briefly, i think the last president said, ever seeing absolutely correct. we're

a single floor support president john, we have good conversation to be our sales meeting, not last. sure. and really what, what the need to, to speak for, to work or add to prepare the town hall to cellphones and seniors of work. also at the munich security conference, vance gave a key note speech. he was expected to shed some light on president trump plans for a negotiated piece in ukraine. instead, vance gave a lecture about democracy in europe. in britain and across europe. free speech i fear is in retreat. so i come here today, not just with an observation, but with an offer, and just as a by the ministration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds. so the trump administration will do precisely the opposite. and i hope that we can work together on that in washington. there is

a new sheriff in town and under donald trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square. agree or disagree? vance's remarks have prompted much reaction here in europe, including from demand tipped to become germany's next chancello. the senior parties candidate for just match spoke to the ws chief political editor. you said, of course now you have in your today is a really historic day. the american security guarantees of being called into question to the americans are questioning the democratic institutions and the into fair inclined to open the in an election, including in relation to democratic policies and the majority. and i'll have to say it to steps me. it doesn't surprise me because they have talks about this before. this is because i family of rejected. it is not the job of the american government

to explain to us here in germany, how we should protect the democratic institutions. and we will continue on. of course, i'll be the ones on baseline david solve always the managing director for the alliance for secure and democracy of the german marshall fund and asked for his assessment of the state of the transatlantic relationship or for certainly an unchartered waters. i mean, we've had serious tensions across the atlantic before it feels like ancient history . but if you remember back to the early, 2, thousands and the brought up to the invasion of a rock. there is serious anti americanism in europe and serious disagreements within the alliance about how to approach that conflict. but this is different because this is a percept perception by europe that united states is actually meddling in uh into your opinion, affairs and domestic politics inside europe. so this is certainly different i, i worry that this particular aspect of it, the, the perceived interference by europe will actually drive a real wedge between,

between united states and europe and ways that are different than what we felt back in the early, 2, thousands and there were up to the invasion of iraq. and another issue that's causing a bit of strain is the ukraine war. now there's this meeting between vans and president zelinski. have the 2 leaders managed to find any common ground? well, i think the common ground is that both sides obviously wants to bring this work to an expedient and i actually take the trump administration. and that's where, when it says a wants to sort of and the realities of disagreement is how to achieve that. and you know, the trump administration believes that ukraine could have real durable security guarantees in the absence of american leadership in europe. ukraine obviously disagrees with that. i personally disagree with that as well. and i think many europeans disagree with that approach. so there in lies the, the tension in this nascent negotiation and how to bring this work to the close on

that note, janie valence has been critical of us monitoring a team training in the past. uh, do you think this meeting would have done anything to soften his position or even trumps position? i know i, i really think that both the vice president and the president are, are opposed to providing a to ukraine in perpetuity. they may, in fact uh, agree to extend military assistance as a form of leverage against russia. they perceive that russia is not in fact and a good faith negotiator. and i think they might learn pretty quickly that russians not indeed a good faith negotiator. but i think the vice president has long said that providing long term security and military existence, ukraine is simply on turn them all given finite resources. and the fact that he believes it will not lead to a decisive ukrainian victory on the battlefield. again, there's a difference in perception between ukraine, united states, i think you cream,

believes that you ongoing us military assistance would lead to a decisive ukrainian victory. but clearly the thinking of washington is, at this point, that's wasted resources unless it will deliver russia as a to to, to the negotiating table to reach an actual relaxing piece. okay, we appreciate your insights. david salvo from the gym and marshall fund in washington. thank you. thank you. now here's a quick look at some more stories making headlines. ukraine's as a russian drone has dropped the channel nuclear power plant, the weapon penetrates of the facilities protective outs, a shell, and started a fire. the un atomic energy agency said radiation levels remain stable. the kremlin has denied keeps claims. that 8 carried out the strike. at least 2 people have died and dozens more injured. off the road bridge collapsed in northern

area. we had from journalist police levine in tennessee. and what is really officials are saying regarding this next exchange schedule um the unnamed uh, is rainy fish. oh uh, just uh issued a statement and this is a cold name for the prime minister and attorney on how or his the circle. uh, the statement says that we have working in full coordination with united state to rescue as many hostages on live as possible as quickly as possible. and we intend to take full advantage of this opportunity after that auctions are open. why is this message coming? good, right? now, because of the prime minister's office uh, came into uh, backlash uh earlier today we can be released the statement saying that the less that's a must have given is accepted by as well. something that the scores doesn't say it gets along with the statement that we've seen throughout this week. the we're saying that all the 911 hostages should at least by saturday, and then even

a saying that all the hostages should the release by saturday. otherwise the hell will break out, just like drum has is said later on, the statement was deleted them the instead of it, it was written that instead of the wording and the list is accepted in but as well, they should have been written. the lesson was accepted in as well. in other words, as well, did not still med decide what it's going to happen after this turn to the conflict in the democratic republic of congo. where am $23.00 rebels events had because of the capital city of the south cable province after seizing the airport. that's of the city. now the rwandan back group has quickly advanced south and after taking the key hub of goma last month, armed a man in the town of coop. i'm. it's not being confirmed to the people in the footage

humanitarian situation in the eastern democratic republic of congo. worse, the fighting destroyed tens of thousands of emergency shelters, affecting 350000 displaced people according to the united nations. in response to the latest escalation and the conflict congolese presidency like she's a k d speaking at the munich security conference claimed rwanda. which box the m 23 rebels had expansionist visions in the eastern part of congo to uncalled for sanctions against the country to do much good. what gets you on? come on. so if it can't be, how can the integrity of a country be violated? like this on so it's people must because without the country responsible being sanction tongue see only once that they you tell me that it's concept rwandan. president polk academy has repeatedly denied his country supports the m 23 rebels. despite the accusations long made by the united nations of the latest escalation
