has slammed the idea for obstructing the movements of health workers in the region . certainly they'll condition forces deadlocks and see what it is. they even fire to burning shots out the actual sensors to prevent them from reaching certain streets to the doctor. lead to the wounded air in the area on china and india, and make mutually beneficial cooperation. a priority over a long spending porter disputes with deals with stuff the brick summit in russia having become the turning point. and by last row, tyson the, this is our team here national. my name's unit the lead on 30 minutes of using huge starts not donald trump has cold on russia to in the ukraine conflict. now that's after the u. s. president failed to meet his own pledge to

settle the conflict in 24 hours. now aiming to settle it's in $100.00 days. the new american leader has threatened most people with economic repercussions. if it refuses to go along with it the month, or i'm going to do russia, who's economy's failing, and president bush in a very big favor, settle now and stop this ridiculous war. it's only going to get worse if we don't make it to you and soon i have no other choice but to put high levels of taxes, tyrus and sanctions on anything being sold by russia to the united states and various other participating countries. let's get this war which never would have started if i were president over with, we can do it the easy way or the hard way. and the easy way is always better. it's time to make a deal. no more live should be lost. so those are the comments coming to the white house. well, let's cross live not true or tired us or force the tenant colonel car in kentucky

for her. if you come through to see you after months on the campaign trail promising a solution to the ukraine conflict, president trump is now talking about applying pressure on rush at the end of the war. that's before any talks of taking place. just to point out why the a bikes face do believe. well this is, this is trump the standard operating procedure in uh, going into any negotiation or anything else he uh, goes in with really an overblown um, over confident. uh, sometimes outlandish, a presentation in order to establish his negotiating ground. so we, i think we're, it's pretty clear that trump has not been briefed yet with objective intelligence, which you would not have gotten from the, by the administration in any case. and he doesn't have his own folks yet in place to provide him with the kind of information he needs to understand what's going on

. and that's something that people outside of the united states do have a better sense of what's happening in ukraine. then maybe mr. trump does, yeah. is it something like can, is it an excess of personality he, he's relying on to, to bring a piece of bite here because as we recall, he promised himself 24 hours as soon as he's in the door in the oval office. he's going to make it a priority to me at peace. that's clearly not happening. people knew it was impossible. but what's the reasons behind such lum dish pledges? and one is that he knows he just can't get to the finish line with to yeah, i think part of it is just me to the american population to let him know, you know, he's very aggressively trying to, he's missed this 24 hour deadline obviously. and,

and, you know, the media will throw that in his face, and in fact they did from the beginning, that was kind of impossible. that was an over over the top claim. so he's, i think he's putting it out there mainly for you know, the american consumer, maybe the european consumer, the nato consumer of this, you know, he, again, he is not well informed. i think that's very clear from a number of things that he said already. i don't think he has, i think he is getting much is the bind administration relied on information from ukraine and pro ukraine elements of a, of american intelligence, of which he's in the process of, of really moving out the door. and i see this again is, is pretty much kind of, i hate to use word bluster, but in some ways it is fluster. but it's, but he wants to have that meeting or you know, those conversations with put,

and i think that's very clear that he intends to do that. and he will do that. and hopefully he'll do that. that's your time when he has been informed with more of the realities on the ground and has had a chance to understand a little bit more about what led to the starting even before 2014. um, it's not clear that he totally gets that. yeah. international. it's almost enough the easiest when you've got one view coming and then a different one a couple of days later, we'll see what that comes from. very interesting, as always to hear your view car in can tell us can retired us or forced lieutenant colonel live on the program. thank you. thank you. to be lost. the youth has failed to reach agreements on expanding sanctions on russian gas and other big story of the day. that's the some european officials continue to insist that russia is an imminent threat to the bulk nato secretary general mark ruder and

e u. member states intelligent services are warning us. if we do nothing. in 5 years time, russia may be ready for a military confrontation with nato and the european union. every day ukraine fights on is a day the european union and nato can grow stronger. first of all, where is this guy get his numbers from? he's just kind of pulling them out of the hatch or out of, i don't know somewhere out of 5 years for until a war in russia. i'd like to see some receipts for that. maybe while i not one is to, by the way, every day that you print is out there, taking the blows, fighting with russia is one more day that nato and the you definitely have to get his hands dirty is what he's saying. but hey, as long as that's still going on, they can keep using the excuse of a more tax payer cash for the weapons industry. of course, he got that forever. war with russia as a pretext for endless defense spending idea from nato. he even said so himself bringing up mark, wrote out the secretary general, which is really just at this point. nato being the weapons lobby for the western

weapons manufacturing and its wars are essentially just a showcase window in the same way that department stores put mannequins in the store front window in front of their shots. the eu has really never had a defense commissioner before and this fellow andreea's civilian from lithuania, a former prime minister there is uh, the very 1st one ever. and he's already sounding like he's on track to making it a whole new regrettable experience for europe. he is, we're entirely focused right now on paying for the very high cost of heating and eating as they live from paycheck to paycheck and he's like, hey, let's take even more of your tax money that we prove. we're up to brussels from those paychecks and transform it into something really useful for them right now. weapons. so on one and you have the, you falling in line with washington's line on prioritizing defense spending,

regardless of whether they're even going to really need all those warehouses full of stuff. years from now. i mean, just look at all the old junk weapons that they were dusting off and giving to frame recently, some of that stuff had been sitting around for so long that they were only too happy to have directions blow it up on the battlefield. so they could get some shiny new ones made and wash some tax care cash over for that. and on the other hand, you have your opinion and officials, like germany's vice chancellor or an economy minister, robert had back saying that, hey, maybe it isn't such a great strategy to just follow whatever washington tells us to do in the realm of energy. for example, with all that increased liquefied natural gas for the eu has now been to bring up from the us. we shouldn't believe that what is happening there can be a model for us that would destroy the foundations of what we have created here in germany. and europe, in a world in which we have to expect energy supply chains to be exploited for power

politics. energy dependency is always a problem. so dependence on the us just might be a problem. how should it may be thought about that back when the us was obsessing over killing off your north street pipeline of cheap gas and russia with sanctions, or by talking about like it was targeted for a mafia, headlight bite and did right beside the german sasser also ended up just treating a cheaper dependence on russia for a much more expensive dependence on the us. doesn't really sound like much of a when maybe that wasn't such a good idea. but guess what? it's not enough yet. for washington, trump still thinks that america is getting royally screwed by you guys in europe. they're very tough and they don't take our cars. they don't take our farm products and then take almost anything. and we take their cars and we take their farm product. we take a lot from them so you know, we have like

a $300000000.00 deficit with us. well sir, and that i would either cash or they have to buy uh, oil. he sounds like you is almost victimizing washington or has been doing so. so what trump is saying is the issue you doesn't increase its dependents on american energy even more, which have access. they want to precisely avoid doing then here from the terrorists, maybe around 10 percent on european imports to the us. sounds like they're getting backed into a corner here, which should be, should be nice to have some options. but instead, they're squabbling about whether to extend sanctions on russian energy at the even is they sneak in russian l n g on the down low in record, high amounts of the 1st 15 days of this year. kind of like junkies getting their fix on the down low, well bragging about how many days sober. they are off of russian gas. it's not like

there are european leaders telling them how stupid they look doing all this was to get the, the you has also isolated itself from russia. european leaders refer to the russo ukrainian wars their own and have eliminated the combination of cheap russian energy in advance, european technology and its economic structure without doing anything to replace it . they didn't want to be close to russia anymore. now they're scared of being too close to washington. under trump. it looks like the e. u is quickly headed toward sitting at home, all alone, and grow with no options at all. but at least it might just have some new weapons to play with. maybe by sometime in 2030 rachel, martha, not donald trump. pick for you in on boss that are subscribes to the idea, not israel's claim to the westbank is a den bind right?

the comment surfaced during a hearing focused on the global bodies position on the middle east conflict. i did ask you whether you subscribe to the views of finance ministers, which rich and the former national security minister, ben you the or who believe that israel has a biblical right to the entire westbank? is that your view today? yes. okay. i think when it comes to this very difficult issue, if the president is going to succeed at bringing peace and stability to the middle east, it's going to be very difficult to achieve that. if you continue to hold the view that you just expressed on tuesday, the idea of finance the start of it so called culture terrorism operation in the westbank city of janine dumped iron wall, which military analysts predict could last up to 7. take these really army has so far killed 10 palestinians, which it claims were terrorists. the idea of florence rates just hours after

president trump rescinded by your sanctions curbing his release upwards. the local media is reporting the listing of for a t security services. we are asked to withdraw from the earlier earlier was movement. both in an outside the city is said to be severely restricted. since october 2023. the idea found this really settlers have intensified attacks in the west bank. according to the un humanitarian office, at least 870 people have been killed. with a policy in health ministry standing around a 5th of dots number. our children, ortiz, middle east correspondent, re of phenomena, has been looking into the timing of the on folding idea operation, as well. just days off to the head, mazda israel seized by a, brought

a brief sense of relief. the west, the bank is not on fire, quite incidents unlikely. we're now at the observation point from where we can see g mean a palestinian city and these really occupied westbank where a major is really military operation, has to be non to a since tuesday we tried to get inside which were stopped at the nearest chair for and soldiers blocked the road and the entry site and extreme danger images from the ground show. the significant disruption of infrastructure is really bulldozers have torn up major roads. a tactic often used by the army to prevent explosives from being pointed. now is really forces have blocked access to jeanine's government hospital effectively besieging its ambulances. cons, enter or leave the facility, the director of the hospital warrant. but this is a very dangerous situation that the red cross is informed about it. the death toll hayes grinding, where the palace, student health ministry, confirming multiple fatalities and injuries. while at the check points, we observe,

these really forces is courting detainees in white uniforms who are believed to be one to individuals from jeanine. these operations comes less than 48 hours after the guy is a sci fi raising questions about it's time. multiple reports indicate that the escalation in the west bank was a condition set by hawkish finance. but it's a small switch to remain either call as soon as you remembers. moultrie. suppose this is real. how most agree went on threatening to resign if the deal went through . but eventually he stayed with no clear reasons. shortly after jeanine operation began, small appreciate the meet at the hays party pushed for the intensified military focus on the west bank, or what is ro calls duty and scenario? here's them on those advocating for the annexation of these area. make it in part of a is role is rosa, as the operation ends at eliminating the terror threat posed by him, us and the palestinian islamic jihad, a leg really entrenched in jeanine,

protecting nearby israeli communities. and ensuring that the west bank no longer poses a threat, least very similar to the objectives of the guys of war. since the war started hit october 2023. they have been over 2000 attempts to the tax recorded coming from the west bank in 2024 alone, 26 people, both as really and for nationals have been killed in a tax with more than 1200 wounded. but again, for palestinians, these something that sees ro, kohl's terror, it is viewed as acts of resistance against his really occupation solve some of the believe this could mark the start on the road to ask for it to bring to westbank on the full is really control the timing of this operation raises questions again, after months of opposing a deal with him, us. what made benjamin antonia will make a you turn a greeting to the deal that includes the idea of fool withdrawal from the poly student in place. and many know, speculate that this westbank cooperation,

good whole part of the on sir. well, journalist jonathan native, shoddy of del rockman believes benjamin netanyahu was trying to hold onto power by allowing certain figures in his coalition government to implement their own plans for the west. back and i do believe that it could be a cheap bargain. what missing, you know, is doing is that he's buying because they and the government buy is still keeping the coalition of the government. well, as you know, the bank, if you haven't already left with his ministers and the only small questionnaire and if small rich leaves now the government will collapse indignation. so i believe that you're at a raising with small rich in state. oh, okay. we are still really old. all i am giving you a free hand in the west bank. you can begin processing using drugs or we can kill them. and there was bank that maybe we can somebody to give the students and govern . he gave him already, the problem is that he did the,

i'm going to continue the or it just after the 1st phase, finish the 3 to continue. this is my home believing, because as i can see, that it was stopped eh, making trouble and making problems all the details for the 2nd phase, maybe. and they will be able to like conflict about exactly where it will be. then you bought those with the window, going to install, what would be the new rules. all these details are going to a blog and then the end of the day is going to like most of you and the 2nd and those phase. so only the 1st phase is going to happen and this is in the payroll office and by the as well as socrates in 2 names a dozen. and so people have also been wounded with idea of armored vehicles alleged to be blocking ambulances from reaching those in need at these are video circulating on social media reporting to show the vehicles trapped on hospital

territory. earlier is really bulldozers from move rubble from a run medical facilities for on your recent policy. being red, crescent society spokes woman and the ball. far as i offered her view on the methods being employed by the ideas or yesterday after the aides started and engineering refugee camp, i just need a city. is there a the occupation forces that blocked the n j? what i'll do then says the even fire rarely charged out the addresses to prevent them from reaching certain streets to evacuate the origin in the area. and also since yesterday of to this month, there's complete disease in cost onto the refuge account. and i thought i said all the neighborhoods, this includes the emergency medical staff on this point, getting calls from patients who need to be transported into hostages. is there

a forced air system prevent teams from entering into the procedure or areas? now they are using documentation attempts by the international committee for us to ensure safe access for our teams to me even to transport the, to the hospital. this is not the 1st time is run as a block, the, the n g o or what it says or even obstructing or what work it has been happened repeatedly. and even in many cases, this has this long distance to get the data or patience because of the b to 9, the access to emergency available services and other developments with possibly very large from vacations, the chinese foreign ministry is doubling down on the need to further strengthen beijing's relations with new delhi, the ministry spokesman says china and india will focus on the opportunities for

development rather than viewing each other as threats a meeting. so a long dog, let me just tell you, major time on and civilizations developing countries and emerging economies. china and india need to focus on development and engage in cooperation by the 2 sides, need to earnestly deliver on the important comment on the standings reach between president change and ping and prime minister and arrange a remote extended meeting in cuz then including the china and india or each other's development opportunity rather than threats and cooperation partner rather than competitor. we need to view and handled the bilateral relations from a strategic height and long term perspective. bring the relations back to the track of healthy and stable development and find the right path for big neighboring countries to live in harmony and develop side by side. well, the tensions between the 2 nations over territory are claimed to lead to several miles border clashes. both countries have now, however agreed to de escalate,

unengaged a diplomatic solution, as well as significantly deepened by law from cooperation in the industry of external affairs expanded. and why subsidize are important for the world all unknown in the us approach can be something summed up in terms of what we call the 3 mutually mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest. my laptop types can also benefit from a great deal realization. that's what is at stake is actually the larger prospect of both nations. and in fact, without the exact addition, i would say even of the global although it needs and accepted the m. o. jim shaw from multiple lab aisha is an essential prerequisite for multiple about because they were china, india relation. so a breakthrough in october when their leaders met for the 1st time in 5 years at the brick summit in cuz a month after that the country's foreign ministers,

man and both men express the commitment to cooperate within the framework. the multinational organizations such as bricks and the g 20. we heard from veteran indian diplomats, roger dog, red who takes a solid union between india and china is beneficial for both the region and the world at large show if the daughters john lynch is dickens carol, then there is benefit for india and china together and benefit for asia, as your last benefit for the was because they are merely the 2800000000 people, which is roughly 30 percent of the worst population has huge markets. so it would benefit russia exporting for gas and for other mentoring guy in china. different benefit to medical and so you didn't know 200 time went for the human

todd reducing their their minds because of his difficulties and the rest of the world. so india and china, a huge market that is why congest mistreating china this, please say to 32 of the issues flush and then we can go to the corporate space, the altered speed on, on the other issues. then maybe economic issues become the example for us or the neighbors. on returning to our top story, not donald trump said ultimatum of storage to most school, demanding russia, bringing in to its operation in ukraine, not making the statement on his social media network earlier. well, for more all this shawna davinsky joins us in the studio at charlotte. so donald trump trying pressure now as a method,

somewhat different from what he was employing during his campaign trail on this just the point it is before any much phoned to talks of taking place between the 2 . yeah, that's why on the campaign trail he very much suggested that it was going to be all over in 24 hours. well, 2400 south street took office. that's not happened, but it's actually not the 1st time we've seen him using this kind of tactic. against most go just a few months ago off, but he was elected, he turned round and said, you know, if most go will come to the negotiating table, we're going to give you credit and everything. it needs its gonna happy american might. and will it come down on box for essentially like a bag of bricks and this is again what we now hearing him say once again, now he's in office. he's essentially saying to most of you don't comes to the new go taking table and we're gonna a do quite. and he's also been saying to key if, if you don't compromise, we're all going to favor most go. so really it seems like he's playing a bit of decides against each other and say, look,

i'm not going to tell you which way the blonde is going to go, but i want you there and then it goes, he thinks he will. i won't an end to this, so it's really interesting because that times go really has changed. 24 hours not happened. we now hearing from his special on boy, this is keith kellogg. there's going to be 100 days to sort out the ukraine will. but we're also hearing rooms of the trump members of the administration saying actually this could be 6 months or more. and some even suggesting that this could be trumps vietnam. so you know, who knows where we're going to go from there. so clearly, this is a very difficult situation, and it's going to take a lot more than perhaps at the current instinct approach or even so lock mailing. if you want to call it that, to get these 2 sites, the tool can to find the solution to this problem and maybe even a strategy to get the mainstream media office back a little bit as well. and what's rushes stands for mine just being on possible piece talks with, with keith. well rushed has always been open to piece talks. it said from day one,

in fact, it was attempting to make negotiations all the way back in 2021. i was there at some of the summons that were taking place across europe. it was talking to america at the time it was trying to negotiate a, to stop this situation, the situation that have been going on and don't last for several years from escalate things most goes on with being very clear what it's red line so on except those red lines from day you one, despite that, it's being ignored. it's been, you know, not listening to the results of that we seem to escalating to where it is now in 2025. i'm. and just 2 days ago, president pacing once again saying, you know, yeah, we're ready for negotiations, but the reality is we have to talk at the root of this crisis. if we're going to stop this war, pollution factory was easy. we also hear his statement about the need to do everything to prevent the 3rd world war. of course,

we welcome this attitude and congratulate the president elect of the united states of america on assuming office interest to you. and i would like to emphasize that we have never refused to have a dialogue. we have always been ready to maintain smooth cooperative relations with any american administration. i've already said this many times over there, and we're also open to dialogue with the new us administration on the ukrainian comes likely to avoid them. the most important thing here is to eliminate the root causes of the crises which we have discussed many times the same. and those red lines have been pretty clear then there will be no nato, ascension for ukraine. and that hasn't changed unless something's happened in the last few minutes, even. what on the very point at the others, events has come march with what he is or his at least as administration calling revelations regarding ukraine's nato was additions. right? yeah, that's right. so all along, you know, so that, excuse me, saying we want to be a member of nato on western allies. they're saying they want us to be

a member of nato. he's in davos in switzerland at the moment. he's now to and brought him back, track a lot and said actually the whole west has been lying to us for years. they don't want us in a to what so ever essentially, just throwing his full, my west and partners under the boss a shot. it was not a very transparent pulse at 1st. the same countries did not support our entry into nato temple, and these were seemed to lie. so that's yeah, so lucy crane will be ne, a decade has passed. so what i put in a new credit is not in nato, and therefore it was his honest towards ukraine and ukrainians. and was also these on us from our leaders rush when some of our leaders said not. we were promised that we would be nate's as if it was also, it is honest. and i believe the german in the united states had a weak position because they had a dialogue, was a russian great. you need to clean the u. s. and germany, which he's also talking about not telling you repeating the dispute, they need to spend 5 percent of the.
