gbnews.com/advent. >> good evening to you. thank you for your company and welcome to pelicot tonight and happy saint david�*s day to all our welsh friends in wales. it's been an explosive 24 hours, hasnt been an explosive 24 hours, hasn�*t it, in the world of volodymyr zelenskyy at least. and today, this evening, he's taking refuge in britain after that brutal confrontation in the oval office. >> i don't know if you can make a deal. the problem is, i've empowered you to be a tough guy. and i don't think you'd be a tough guy without the united states. and your people are very brave. but you're either going to make a deal or we're out. and if we're out, you'll fight it if we�*re out, you'll fight it out. i don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. but you don't have the cards. but once we sign that deal cards. but once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position. but you�*re not acting at all thankful. and that�*s not
3:03 am
at all thankful. and that�*s not a nice thing. i�*ll be honest. that�*s not a nice thing. >> the prime minister welcomes zelenskyy to downing street after that bruising fallout at the white house, with donald trump and jd. vance promising his ukranian ally britain will have its unwavering support to ukraine, including tonight, with rachel reeves signing a £24 billion loan package. >> absolute determination to stand with you, unwavering determination and to achieve what we both want to achieve, which is a lasting peace, a lasting peace for ukraine based on sovereignty and security for ukraine. 50 important for ukraine. so important for ukraine, so important for europe, and so important for the united kingdom. >> we are happy and we count on your support and really, really we're happy that we have such, such parties and such. >> so the whole charade in the white house yesterday leaves our prime minister in a difficult position, i think, because he went to washington armed with a
3:04 am
state visit to windsor castle for president trump, earning himself a positive nickname for once in the form of starmer, the charmer. i actually thought he did it right in the oval office, a little submissive, and i�*m not sure about the crossed legs, but i guess it could have been worse. but anyway, now the prime minister must clearly decide whether his loyalties lie with the united states or europe. does he want this deadly war to end? 1.5 million ukrainian and russian, mostly young men, are deadin russian, mostly young men, are dead in trenches in one of the most publicised wars the world has ever seen. so what�*s it going to be, prime minister? back the u5 so what�*s it going to be, prime minister? back the us in ending this war? or continue with the whatever it takes pathway to bankruptcy. and by the way, that trench footage you saw just there is as tame as it comes.
3:05 am
the internet is full of absolutely brutal and graphic war videos from both sides that bring the very dark reality of this conflict to light. meanwhile, the fallout from the oval office clash has been a sight in itself. a world divided on whether trump and jd vance were bullies or zelenskyy made a huge mistake by going on the attack and disrespecting the united states. it was box office as far as i'm concerned, and totally extraordinary. so i guess let's have another little reminder, shall we? >> and in a good position. you don't have the cards right now don�*t have the cards right now with us. you start having cards. cards right now. you don't. you're playing cards. you're playing cards. you�*re gambling playing cards. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war iii. you're gambling with world war iii. >> no guesses to see how liberal us media reacted then. >> we have never seen anything quite like what happened at the white house today. >> today, donald trump
3:06 am
irreparably destroyed the 80 year old post—world war ii international order. >> an oval office ambush of an american ally that will reverberate all around the world and stain america�*s image for and stain america's image for years to come. >> that was. >> that was. >> yeah, typical. but there has been surprising reaction to this is the moment josh been surprising reaction to this is the momentjosh rogin of the left wing washington post agreed with a cnn contributor about who was to blame. >> i mean, all zelenskyy had to do today was put on a tie, show up, smile, say thank you, sign the papers and have lunch. that�*s it. and he couldn�*t do that. >> well, i can't believe i'm >> well, i can't believe i�*m about to say this, but i actually agree with scott. and everything that he said was basically right. wow. i know. >> and even republican senator lindsey graham, who if you don't know him, he's a staunch ukraine and zelenskyy supporter. well, he changed his tune to. >> what did i think? complete utter disaster. i've been to
3:07 am
ukraine 8 or 9 times since the war started. i understand the consequences of putin's actions against ukraine. i appreciate what the ukrainian people have done. they fought like tigers at the end of the day. i was hoping that this minerals deal, which would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well. i talked to zelenskyy this morning. don't take the bait. morning. don�*t take the bait. president trump was in a very good mood last night. somebody asked me, am i embarrassed about trump? i have never been more proud of the president. i was very proud ofj.d. vance very proud of jd. vance standing very proud ofj.d. vance standing up for our country. we want to be helpful. what i saw in the oval office was disrespectful, and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelenskyy again. >> wow. pretty big coming from him. yesterday's clash wasn't him. yesterday�*s clash wasn't just a three minute shouting match. as you've seen on social media, there was 40 minutes of talks prior to that, which went relatively well and without
3:08 am
drama. it was only when zelenskyy decided to attackj.d. zelenskyy decided to attack j.d. vance, when the vice president talked about diplomacy, a comment which i think appeared to be directed atjoe biden and not ukraine, as it appeared zelenskyy perceived j.d. vance then made this point about ukraine dragging men off the streets to fight on the front line. >> right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. >> well, it appears that is at least true. there are dozens and dozens of videos of men, brothers, sons being dragged to war. here's one. war. here�*s one. >> from. >> from. >> just for the record. no doubt that happens on the russian side
3:09 am
too. but it didn't stop our ffiend too. but it didn't stop our friend alastair campbell getting involved in an attack on jd vance. >> totally vile, that man. i've been thinking this for a while about vance. he's utterly vile. and you really saw it today. and he basically said, have you ever said thank you? when are we going to get gratitude? >> have you said thank you? >> have you said thank you? >> once that triggers trump to say, when are we going to get gratitude? >> some people, some people have reminded campbell that vance is a us marine who served in iraq a u5 marine who served in iraq and afghanistan. campbell, of course, has close links to one of those wars in particular. i say no more, but i do suggest he has a bit more respect for the men and women who serve there. anyway, back in the white house, zelenskyy was also contending with zelenskyy was also contending with us zelenskyy was also contending with us journalists in addition to trump and vance. one reporter you'll see here asked why he wasn't wearing a suit. >> second wasn't wearing a suit. >> se
