on top of that, he won the popular vote. he has a mandate. what does he have in store for the headlines tories? this are a new us president donald trump and threatens russia, with economic repercussions to, in the ukraine conflict bounce oper failing to meet his own pledge to end the prices in 24 hours. also have your opinion fails to reach agreement. it's only expending sanctions on russian l. n. g. that's those figures show record high you purchase is all russian gas in the 1st 2 weeks of the year. plus days off to the have mosque is real sci fi. i brought a brief sense of relief. the west bank is now one choir incidents unlikely. israel self labeled counter terrorism. operation continues in the west point with at least 10 people till since tuesday. the ball listed in rec, pressing has slammed the idea for obstructing the movement of health workers in the

region. certainly the occupation forces at the last century interest, they even squarely shot out the after sensors to provide data from the system streets to the wounded air in the area. the again, not sol ahead. it is 9 pm, this wednesday, january the 22nd in a sub in a month on here in moscow. welcome to then use our donald trump is demanding a rush and bring it in to its operation. and ukraine now bounce off to the us president failed to meet his own pledge to settle the conflict in 24 hours, not having to ended in a 100 days. the new american leader has threatened law school with economic repercussions if it refuses to go along with the ultimate 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. but archie correspond to show it to escape joins us now in the studio. donald trump, uh charlotte. it's trying to pressure most of the, somewhat different from the majority of what he was talking about on his campaign at trail on this before any talks i've even taken place. yeah, that's why on the campaign trail last day, he's a bit of a show mind he's like, i'm going in this war in 24 hours. i'm going to make everything disappear. and now

those campaign promises it for really going up in smoke. we heard off the he won the election a little bit more about oh, you know, if most of it doesn't come to the negotiating table, i'm going to come down on them like a pilot break. so i'm going to give careful of the minds of the us, but now we're hearing even more about these threats of economic sanctions against russian, or if it doesn't come to the negotiating table. but let's not forget donald trump is playing both sides, that guides each other because he's also being telling him, hey, we're not going to give you blank checks anymore. we don't provide to send you money, funds, weapons, whatever it is. you're gonna have to give up territories. so i think really what we're seeing is this young man who is trying to say, well, we won't do this if you don't do that. and he's waiting to see where the chip is full and then try and take credit for whatever happens if something good comes out of it. but i think what's really important to show here is he had said this would all be 24 hours off the he seemed the presidency that has clearly not happened to

a well past that deadline. now we're now hearing from his special envoy, keith kellogg, that it's going to be 100 days. that's very different to 24 hours. and even on top of that, we are hearing from others within the trump administration that this could make me 6 months where as tall spies suggesting that we could get plugged into this. and this could essentially become, is vietnam. so really, it's uh, up for anyone to profit that might say, yeah, the reality of real politic hits home doesn't. it reminds us what's russia's stance has been on possible peace talks with kids. watches always being clear, it is open to p stokes. in fact, as being tweaking with it's american allies all the way back in 2021 saying hey, all we want is a guarantee that you claim doesn't join nature. you give us that. we pretty much okay on this. and yet, despite that, the western governments like no, it's up to you quite and if it wants to join nato notes, expression is always being clear. it's open for tool. so obviously the tool back in

2022 in a sample. and since then, we have heard the pregnant over and over saying it is ready for tool kit. and in fact, it's key of that is supposed to call you bush and all those tools, but the essentially thing outlawed in ukraine by so lensky himself, when it comes to blackmail like any country. nope, you can react very well. awesome. in fact, 2 days ago, president clinton was saying, look, the only way we can solve this crisis is if we go back to the root of what the crisis was. and this is all way back in 2014 solutions actually was he was union. 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 lee. 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 more than that, and we're also open to dialogue with the new us administration on the ukrainian

conflict with them. the most important thing here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, which we have discussed many times before. so that was a red lines once again, no ascension, today to for ukraine, and also for the recognition of the nearly incorporated territories into russian. of course, call me back from a decade ago. those are the things that she wants that hasn't changed. let me touch upon what you just said. there are nato and ukraine's ambitions to join. it's not immersed, lindsay coming out with some revelations on that. yeah, that's right. so he's been a devil. austin, he's been going around senior ping countries need spend 5 percent of the g d p on defense on the line that's of donald trump because he's trying to sort of who is the up the trunk dog. he's in the white tabs, but we've also been hearing so landscape trash has weston allies, the 1st time he's trash them. we put them trust them several times at the last few years. but he's now basically said the western allies to out white lie to ukraine,

saying that they won't take you quite to join nato. that's just listen to what he got say shop. there was not a very transparent pulse at 1st, yet some countries did not support our entry into nato temple, and these were seems to lie. so that's yeah, so it was, ukraine will be ne, a decade has passed. so what happened and ukraine is not in nato, and therefore it was designed us towards the 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 natives if any resource. also, it is honest. and i believe the german in the united states had a weak position because they had a dialogue. was a rush. great, you need. ok. so yeah, germany and the united states. we know according to zalinski on the side there to that we also heard from hunger in slovakia, who met a in brought to solve this was open and a feat. so folks saying that that countries weren't supposed to need to pay the full ukraine. but i think what we need to look at here is if it's true that western

allies who never want to do cranes doing a to live, why have we have this, who hall over the last 3 years, where we have heard need to leadership and less them how is saying well, is up to quitting if they want to join nato, we support them if they want to do it on. i think the onset is very clear who has made the money out of a school, and that is the military industrial complex, mainly in the united states and billions and billions and billions of dollars with contracts that have gone into sending weapons to create an hour stage where it's clear that you have call waiting, who's going to win again? and that's going to be those who are going to invest in the reconstruction of the country. and i think we all know where the arrows are pointing in regards to who makes the money on that. so i think it's really interesting. now we're seeing ukraine change it's gene. take us through that to archie correspondence. charlotte to been ski unless indeed delve into some of the point started with raising their

unwelcome live onto the program economic and political contributor, up in my cs institute. think time fin audrey, and thank you for your time today, mr. andre. and after months on the campaign trail, promising a quick solution, president trump is now talking about applying economic pressure on russia to end the ukraine conflict. again, that's before any thoughts have even taken place? why the hasty a bite face as well? i think you're already the, i think that to that there is actually a slow realization from trump and also from his administration that the conflict is actually much more complicated that he initially fault. so that's why he was talking 1st about solving it very quickly in 24 hours like a deal. and now he's slowly realizing that it's a bit more complicated than that. but i do think that he has not yet fully understood. neither has his administration. what uh, the complexity of this is,

i think he's trying to play at the same time. he's kind of odd to the deal. he's trying to play a strategy site to intimidate food in and the russians. i'm not sure it's working at all, but that's his style is negotiating style, enterprise enterprise, right. and at the same time, there is probably a misunderstanding of the real situation on the ground and also the historical situation about the nato. a witness from the side of the west and the involvement of the west in ukraine for so many years. and will that come about realization that button boss that campaign pledges aren't going to be enough to, to end this conflict. diplomacy is going to be key here. and when that happens, something positive might come will not be

a realization he comes to. so i think that he will come to a realization that the, the, the, the russian side has multiple cards to all the cards. actually right now. uh, base almost all the cards and he hasn't previously understood that. and that's why he's also making these kind of very exaggerated claims that russia has lost a 1000000 men. when we all know that that's not true, even the ukrainians are claiming otherwise, right. even the bbc with media, so not are not planning this. all right, so it's, it's hard to bowl is exaggeration. i'm not sure it is going to make much of an impression on the rest of your shift, even though a lot of russians have, i have mentioned that said, you know, let's see. let's see what would happen. she has not come with any kind of proposal yet. so we, we wait and see. so i think that's as actually trumps to when you will visit. most

schools. when the 1st time it will take place. for the 1st call, there's going to be a reality check on the part of boot on the part of the trunk and also his team. and they will have to go back to the drawing board to really try to, to figure out any of the united states will have to make concessions. unfortunately, for trump, this concession, these concessions are going to have to happen under his watch. that's just the way it is, but he must come to this realization. can i get your view on something else? we were speaking about with the our correspondent, members zalinski saying that the western countries lied about ukraine's future. a session into into nato. the mission, public admission, but that's surprise you and why did it take him so long to realize that that those promises we're, we're essentially a pipe dream for you? praying right, not i think that only one has to alaska hasn't fully understood the game

that the west has played. use the ukraine, basically as a part, as an instrument tweak and russia. that was always the plan. that was the stage, the busiest japan. that's why the west was involved in ukraine since the 19 ninety's. so it's not true that the west did not want or does not want to include. uh, you know, ukraine in geneva is just that now they are not able to do it. so they're trying to find excuses, but we all know that this has been a clear strategy from the fall of the sort of junior faces from 1991 just to get you know, ukraine, another time to respond to particular ukraine into may to now at the same time, it was the lens key, is trying to shift the blame of mall to the west. this is kind of natural right

now the plane game is going around to kind of folding all the speeds, right? so the landscape is trying to, to, uh, you know, build up also his, uh, let's say his credibility inside the frame by making some kind of comments. um, but we have to remember that uh the, the west was always intent on the bring a ukrainian geneva. that's why we even have this, this culture going on. because the west actually refused to actually recognize that this was not possible. and it was a red line on the part of russia. and so now of course, the width is also trying to say that actually it was never of them from the beginning. but i'm not sure many people actually was fault for that. and i'm think i'm thinking that even though the west, a lot of media are going to push back on that as he started up. so really interesting, insightful comments. thanks for coming in the program and sharing your views from part us. economic and political contributor of the micies institute fin unframed.

many types. i do know the story to bring you today. b e. u has failed to reach an agreement on extending sanctions on russian. gov, that's of some european officials continued to insist that russia is an imminent threat to the block. 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 in 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 is just kind of pulling them out of the hatch or out of, i don't know somewhere out of 5 years for until we're 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 at 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 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 the rushes below and knock on the battlefield. so they could get some shiny new ones made and wash some tax their cash over for that. and on the other hand, you have your opinion. and officials like germany's vice chancellor and economy minister, robert had back saying that, hey, maybe 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 of the eu has now been hoover and not 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 uh, treating a cheaper dependence on russia for a much more expensive dependence on the us doesn't really sound like much of

a win. 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 you last year 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 excess. 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 sections on russian energy at the, even as 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 rush and 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 you 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 know donald trump pick for you and i'm busted, are subscribes to the idea that is real is plain to the westbank, is it defined right? the common surface during a hearing focus on the global bodies position on the middle east coast. i did ask you whether you subscribe to the views of finance minister, some of 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, this can be very difficult to achieve that. if you continue to hold the view that

you just expressed. what on tuesday, the idea of finance? the start of a so called counter terrorism operation in the westbank city of janine dumped iron wall, which could last up to 7 days, according to military on the list before the army has so far killed 10 palestinians, which it claims were a terrorist. the idea of going to rage just hours after president trump rescinded by the euro sanctions curbing is really settlers. the local media is reporting that the palestinian authority security services were asked to withdraw from the earlier earlier while movement, both in the night side. the city is said to be severely restrict since october 2023. the idea found this really settler's hop intensify the tax in the west bank. according to the un humanitarian office,

at least 870 people have been killed with the palestinian health ministry sitting around the 5th of that number. our children ortiz, middle east bureau chief, may have an option that has been looking into the timing of the, on folding adf operation. there are all 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, for instance, unlikely. we're now at the observation point from where we can see g mean a palestinian city in these really occupied westbank where a major is really military operation has been on the way since tuesday. we tried to get inside but were stopped at the nearest chat for and soldiers blocks the road and the entry side 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 it. 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 at the death toll hayes grinding, where the palace, student, health ministry, confirming multiple fatalities and injuries. while at the check point, we observe these really forces as courting detainees in white uniforms who are believed to be one to individuals from jeanine based operation comes less than 48 hours after the guy is a sci fi raising questions about its time. multiple reports indicate that the escalation in the west bank was a condition set by hawkish finance minutes, a small suite to remain in the call. as soon as you were members. moultrie, suppose the israel had mazda agreement, and 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 israel calls duty and scenario is among those advocating for the annexation of these area. make it in part of israel as well. so as the operation ends at eliminating the terror threat posed by him, us and the palestinian islamic jihad, a leg really entrenched in geneva, protecting nearby israeli communities and ensuring but 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. $26.00 people, both as really and for nationals have been killed in a tax with more than $1200.00. the wounded. but again, for palestinians, there is something that sees row coals, terror, it is viewed as acts of resistance against is really occupation solve some the believe this could mark the start of a 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 the this westbank cooperation. good whole part of the on sir. well, journalist and gals that native shoddy of dell rock moments of the few benjamin netanyahu is trying to hold on to power by allowing certain figures in his coalition government to push their own agenda for the west. i do believe that it could be a cheap bargain. what missing, you know, is doing is that he's buying because they, in the government. why is still keeping the coalition of the government? as you know, the bank, if you haven't already left with his ministers and the only small kitchen it and if small rich leaves now the government will collapse indignation. so i believe that

we're at a training with small page in state. oh, okay. and we are still really old also, and i am giving you a free hand in the west bank. you can always give us the ins and goals and we can kill them. and there was bank that maybe we can accommodate 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 own 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 then we'd be able to like conflict about exactly where it wouldn't be. then you bought those with the wind waiting 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 last week 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 don't or something else i want to show you a started sees in, janine se dozens of people were wounded when at the adf, their armored vehicles blocked unbalances from reaching at those in need video circulating a social media port to show the vehicle as in question, trump on hospital territory. and earlier, there's really bold those you're seeing here remove rumble from a run. the medical facility for all new care reasons, that policy and red crescent societies, folks personable, far as like offered her view on the methods being employed by the idea. the yesterday off the age sergeant, engineer refugee camp budget in the city. um, is there a, the occupation forces that blocked the n j? what i'll do then says they even actually are rarely charged out the addresses to prevent them from reaching certain streets to evacuate the origins in the area.

and also since yesterday of to this month there's complete dcs in cost onto the refuge account. and as i said, all the neighborhoods, this includes the emergency medical style of this point, getting calls from patients who need to be transported into hostages. is there a forced air system, prevent teams from inside any into that received or areas out? they are using the nation attempts by the international committee for us to ensure receive access for our teams to even to transport the, to the hospital. this is not the 1st time is our end as of last week, the n g o, our ambulances, or even of starting a one word. it has been happened repeatedly. and even in many cases, this house is long since to get the patience because of them be denied

access to emergency available services. now it just stays into the ceasefire between her mouth and israel. some of the larger is top officials such as finance, minister bez, allow smoke bridge, already planning and military recruit. on a continuation of the con. the coming period will be marked by the replacement of the senior military command as part of the preparations for the renewal of the war . and this time until the complete victory. i am confident that the minister of defense will win the job with responsibility. professionalism and determination, and i will assist him in this as much as is required of the coal to renew the war, comes as the idea of chief of stuff and on cheese to quit his position in march. heard see what levies upcoming resignation marks the highest profile departure of an is really official linked to the security establishment. failures on october 7th . prime minister netanyahu aspect.
