[000:00:00;00] the headlights thrown off either national as russia's foreign minister, is us count them on hold of the telephone, pulled out to washington's request. lensky is coming to terms that a distinctly different future lives. i had put america now looking for peace and full in some of the dialect will be in such a large menu, which now demonstrate united states to professional i think yes. so we, i don't very happy with it. to be honest, but the interesting question. yeah. the days of washington's all out support for kids certainly seem to be over. as trump,

including top ukraine's hope for the state. so membership is dash for the us. so just don't realistically ukraine to take back russia's new territories. returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic object chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. i mean time, europe, and rulers are in panic mode. scrambling to be included in peace told one who cried as a representative from the trump administration says that you, you will not be sitting at the table. can you, can you a show this audience that ukrainians will be at the table? and europeans will be at the table. the answer that last question, just to frame the answer is no. russian citizen addict under a feedback is welcome home. after being released from the us prison, he was exchanged for

a former american embassies stop who's already know about the, the top stories over the weekend over right now. welcome to the weekly program. life went out to you and took story for you this hour here on out to you, the lines of communication all wide open, a rushes for minutes or so. okay. laughter office spoken with his us counterpart, marco rubio, this over the phone. most coast, as washington initiated the folks. now the, my colleague, you know, neil got the details montes and especially for a lot now the high profile. cool out of the initiative of the american side as well what's and what's interesting, i'm not so quote into the russian foreign ministry. of course, a lot of things were discussed and i think we have to go through a few of them and faith both parties reassigned. they're renting us for awhile and restoring mutually and respectful dialogue as well as agreed on keeping for regular contact. including preparing a meeting between donald trump of lot of my food. they've also agreed to maintain

a channel of communication to resolve problems and relation between the 2 countries . and what's important ahead to mention as well that a lot growth and really actually exchange news on ways to put an end to his line. started biopharma back in 2016 on the title of conditions for russian diplomatic missions, functioning in the u. s. a. baseball. she's also re offense, that commitment to corporate on topical issues, international issues, increasing ukraine. the contract in the middle east as well. love and reveal actually will say, confirmed that regina watts, together to restore mutually respectful into state dialogues that will set by the 2 countries, fetus. trump and to 10, and they've also agreed to keep a regular context as well. yeah. so much involved there is there, like the embassies could be starting to get bigger again, reopen help, a lot of people in each country just on the issue

a piece talks. then that also seems to be building momentum, doesn't it? with dates and locations, not preparing to be finalized. exactly. well, you know, there are many reports in this sense. the latest one we've had is from bloom bug that the contacts groups all set to meet in saudi arabia next week. but most of the housing consensus yet, uh savanski said actually, well, he put his $0.02 in here as well. and he said that he was unaware of the open invitation and actually took issue. the keys is being side law. and i, you know, what's important to mention here is to negotiate in teams and reports as the and again, according to clean bugs and us special envoy to ukraine. um, teeth color is not on the list. and that raises questions of course. and on that list is actually a reportedly, again, is steve, which calls trump's middle east of envoy who actually negotiated a deal to bring america's monks. so go back to the country earlier this week for

the last the housing 5 to put his $0.02 in full of the saying that he's not happy about the polite nature of this dialogue between most good and washington leslie. if the dialect will be in such a large manner, wished out demonstrated united states to russia. i think, yes. so we are not very happy with it. to be honest, but this is, this is live. it's actually, i wanted to see this kind of reaction from zalesky to the unfolding relations between most grand washington. because from what we've heard on multiple occasions, lensky himself, he was actually opening rude and engaged in name, quoting a guess, vladimir putin. you might remember those moments as well, but overall from what we see now, the relations between russia and the us. a somewhat increasing, but of course we'll have to wait and see. now the laughter of rubio phone call followed. donald trump, this historic chat was not improved,

and that happened on wednesday at the hour and a half towards basically breaking the ice off the years of settled communications between the russian and american leadership and trump. by the way, he shared his thoughts afterwards of what he called a highly productive conversation. he likes to issued comments to report on the ukraine conflict, echoing of stones, given by his defense secretary, the likely won't go down to well in care. the secretary of defense is excellent. he made a statement today saying that he thinks is unlikely or impractical. i think probably that's true, i think long before present important. as i said, there's no way that allow that this has been going on for many, many years. and they've been saying that for a long time that ukraine can not go into nato then. and i'm, and i'm ok with that. i just want the word whether they are there or not, but i, it certainly would seem to be that most people have said that that is something that's not good.

well, i think pizza today that that's the unlikely, right? we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and caused more suffering. it certainly would seem to be unlikely. they took a lot of land and they fought for that land and they lost a lot of uh they lost a lot of soldiers, but it would just seem to be and i'm not, i'm not making an opinion on it, but i read a lot on it. and lot of people think that, that sort of likely and what with it, with all this out diplomatic maneuvering, coming out of washington's that lensky certainly had quite a bit of incoming messages to violence, notably moscow and washington c month. so it's going to about whether or not he will have an equal forcing that the peace negotiations. no, i don't think so as long as he's there, but down at some point you're gonna have to have elections to. you're gonna have to have an election to go to most of us can,

you can negotiate with anyone but zalinski easy to legitimate. he has no right to sign anything this, but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct things, negotiations. the issue is the final signing of the documents. this is a very serious issue that should guarantee security for ukraine and russia with a serious long term it into store co perspective on the, on next to it gets there on the program saying that the phone call essentially, between trump and putting that in the box a historic shift in current american foreign policy, and i think it's an enormous development in the us is relationship, not only with russia, but with ukraine, and with all of the nato allies, many decades that the united states and other nato countries have wanted to include ukraine in the nato alliance, and this is the 1st moment that us president sitting us president has officially said that they are comfortable with ukraine not being part of the alliance. so we are seeing what a concession,

a conciliatory message towards peace and towards diplomacy rather than the bellicose attitude of the former president biden. so i think it's a very historic moment. it's a really important moment for us, russian by letter of relations. saturday, be assigned to bill itself as an important partner. as a strategic partner, reviewing negotiations were easy to could also pay the way for further negotiations in the broader region. and here, i mean the middle east, especially these are the guys that so i think it's an important development. and i think it's going to be an important venue to host these tucks. so the fact that trump called put in as sitting presidents, even before he has communicated with the landscape, as many have noted today, is a huge development. and there's already calls, you know, for him to be impedes. for there to be proceeding that he's at fader, but in fact trump is choosing here. diplomacy. he's said from the campaign trail. he's looking for

a peaceful solution and diplomatic solution to end this war. in another sign of thawing relations between moscow and washington, a prisoner exchange, a russian citizen, alexander of vin nicholas are released from the us. personality of this week. he was sold for former american embassy stuff, up mach vocals, who's already back in america. the well don't know trumps or direct toll to evaluate food and on ukraine of shaking the core of european bureaucrats and politicians alike and his by the way, vice president j. d vons. speaking of the munich security conference, now what is the day he basically gave everyone in attendance quite a dressing down at the conference. the prospect of peace seems to have on settled design to me is that in scheme? is he in car? if you're up to create its own army and then send it to ukraine, or it has to become self sufficient, united by coma strauss, ukrainian, and european. it's not to us. then we'll stop them. i really,

i really believe the time has come, the forces of your must be created. it's a really interesting cool. you, clay, not a member of the european union. and yet you saying essentially europe needs its own on me. i mean, this is something we've heard before. from the european need is present back on the fonts, particularly cold, but they so but the last few years. um, but of course in you, this is an incredibly contentious issue. and in fact, many does the european army a tool, including germany's own talents, left through all of schultz. he says it's a big fact. no to clean now has nearly 1000000 soldiers and the weapons. if you count altogether that are relevant for the better future that they will eclipse the park would be better, but they are really eclipsed by a bus them, munitions,

and all the, all the kind. and because of this, it's absolutely clear that the postwar ukraine will have a very strong army. well, however, they're all those in europe who all try to be likely to grill will do this idea of having to you repeat, you know, i mean this includes the polish for administer. who is essentially said that europe in troops will be needed to be sent to you crate. and he didn't say nature troops. he said, europe in troops. when president trump says that as part of a deal, they will have to be repeating troops. well, will have to be asked to, to supply them. so sooner or later will have to be involved missing the pegs. a huge question. does europe have the ability to do something like that? we know for decades and decades, there was massive and the spending when it came to defense budgets impacts from during his last presidency. he famously came to europe and said, hey guys,

you need to start spending more in nature in terms of defend spending, or we're not going to be the ones to protect you anymore. so yes, we've seen an increase in defense funding by european countries in the last few years, but that is not enough to make up those decades of under spending. and in addition to that, over the last few years, you think about the amount of industry hardware that is being sent to you. create that as the least it the ability if you are paying countries present, she defend themselves and they're shoot studies talking about how essentially the cupboards of fat in europe as a result of what's being sent to you quite. and so, is it likely that you can do this? i think many people would say, probably not when it comes to charlotte to piece talks, the trump put in call and everything else that's come. since they're, there has, in my sense being denied porting of optimism surrounding it. this is, but it appears not everyone is willing to get run the table. it was really interesting news. we've heard us lensky saying at the munich security conference, but he will only speak of the press, a priest,

and he will speak to anybody else. now, so the russian delegation, it will only be present preaching. well, that is a massive 180 degree to and from what we've heard over the last few years where he's point blank, refused to speak to the russian prices inside, out lowering talks with russia. uh, is he going to be able to even get bobby to a negotiating type of thing really interesting to see where he's now coming from. it feels as if every day, perhaps, even every hour we get in a very different sense. if wesley's lensky is coming from and probably a lot to that is to do with the right hand that we have seen from him. i since these a flurry of announcements have been coming from the trunk administration. what's also really interesting is here with the media security conference, he's also been trying to put the division between the us and europe, essentially go over, look, you know, usaa leaving us as just as sure. let's do it together because he was point blank. say, you know,

when present from cools me about this possible negotiation. he was sidelining. not just you, craig. he was side blinding. you were to had a most go with pulls. you are part if we, as europeans don't trust each other. a few days ago, president tom told them about he's going to the station was booked and not the ones the to mention that america needs you are at the table put in was one on one. talk with america, just like before the war when they met in switzerland and it looked like to call them up the walt snags put in. we'll try to get the u. s. president. standing on the red square on main, on may 9th this year. not as a respected later, but as a pro, in his own performance. so as the last few dallas,

and she's saying that pitching is going to be using trump is essentially a barrier net profit. but the us doesn't seem to give much of a carrier about this. we've now heard from the us special envoy chief catalog. this is the guy that is going to try and put together this end to the war in ukraine. and he's 10, ron, he's gone yet. you're not going to be at the table in general. they should not even complain devices. can you, can your show this audience the ukrainians will be at the table and europeans will be at the table. oh, are you just change the whole dynamic program or victor? thanks for having us today. i appreciate the answer that last question just you framed it? the answer is no. the answer to the earlier part of the question is yes, of course you can use are going to be at the table. interestingly, we have a goal. these over chose about negotiations possible to in saudi arabia in the next few weeks. but at the same time, we've now had a statement coming up from the g 7 for administrators. they say they will read the

looking at during up more functions to throw a gainst more scope if most go doesn't come to the negotiating table and do a deal. interestingly, bonus 3 is of sanctions hating russia and russia seems to be of no much strong composition, but it was back then. so the reality is, after 3 is the sanctions not having the desired outcome. what makes the g 7 think but, and this thing is going to change that right now. also in munich, of the indian foreign minister, raised questions about how western states can preach democracy at home. well dismissing yet for the global self. i was at the time and i have to say this in all honesty, bad, west treated democracy as a western kind of push take on was busy, encouraging non democratic forces in the global top. it still does. i mean, in many, many cases i can find somebody recent ones, where actually every thing that you say you value at home,

you don't practice abroad. so i do think the rest of the global salt view. you know, the, the successors and the shortcomings. and the, the sponsors of other countries, they will also ask themselves which ones of them they relate to hello there we were talking with a better in india and the different might about old up this and, but as you've dr. size, the west should really practice when it preaches, when it comes to democratic. someone sitting lender will be lucky wouldn't be the trick person, but he happens to be writing for the newspaper in london. so he's one to judge, but i sure does, but to be is the party democrat to, for the lease, if one edition who may have very extreme views of and who may normally don't

like. and there's one country may suddenly deciding that someone in kenya, for example, is not a democratic leader. that is not all had to be today as well. yes. we are in houston gotcha. with every part of the world, but it was one of those all countries a free and to what extent of the free. so risk has to know what its role as the picture of the word in terms of human rights and don't proceed because it is, it says are not living up to those standards which have been in population in various parts of the world. as i say, for thousands of years over to india now here on the program where 18 people died and a stem p to the, the new daily railway station at the central station there on saturday. i should warn you of the following images. not disturbing. the tragedy occurred as the

people were heading to the cml of religious pilgrimage. it's an annual event. and reportedly the stampede was course as passengers rushed aboard a train because arrived in india's permanent sentimental moody expressed his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. well, in other news that shaped the weak, your analogy international of to 8 years behind bars, russian and citizen alexander, to be nick has been released from my us prison. and it's now right back here in mosque the oven and bring it off to his release of the following, this a prisoner, swamp parents right, that well, wealth invest funds by return to moscow saying he lives in phoenix says he still can't believe he's actually home the

nice property i should use says no, he's not at the store. maternity is now pretty stressful on the moist parts store space. so many other states here this semester. so if it was arrested in 2017 in greece to the request of american off. all right. who's done a convicted of money laundering challenges using bitcoin. he initially denied the charges against him, calling myself a political prisoner before later agreeing to a plea, deal with american prosecute as a 45 year old for nicholas exchange, for former american embassies off a month, focal who was already now back in the u. s. and american teacher who was by the way convicted in russia, if a drug smuggling has been of release under a deal between moscow and washington, the fried school teacher described the russian leda as, quote, generous. i think that must have food and ground to name a full parking lot. fogel. hi. i had worked at the us embassy and rusher and enjoyed diplomatic status until may 2021. he was,

the title goes back to are the most go at board while trying to smuggle marijuana or into russia. a football pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years. of donald trump says the mans release is the 1st step towards a much bigger agreement, ending the ukraine on very fair, very reasonable, not like deals you've seen over the years. they were very fair going to lead and order somebody else is being released tomorrow. that you will know of, but we wanted to get this done very important and see wanted to actually fly over and get mark and get them home properly because that could be a pretty tough trip. i think this could be the very important element. you could be a big part of it actually because it could be a big, important part of getting the word over with you grand. and we appreciate present inputs and was what he, what he did, he was able to pull it off for you,

right. he was able to pull it up. we didn't get it here. so is going to tell you a little bit more about it tomorrow, but i think we made great progress. progress on the war. also getting to work, i want to get the war ended. the chime and all of the russian parliamentary committee on international affairs are landed. slootsky says this swap symbolizes an improvement to relations between the 2 knights. i know that the, this is an important shift, not yet a tonic one, but an important one was towards more intensive communication between leaders of 2 largest nuclear powers, which i hope will never again be at ground 0 in their cooperation of what happened in the biden era should be an example, the artificially inflate conflicts in new brains, which is today the laughter stronghold of nazi id. ology has brought a world civilization closer towards the very destructive past. it could have ended in a 3rd world war, in which there can be no windows. now the count down begins. hooting is not only the leader of the modern day,

russia pause button is the new global majority of which has already formed countries of the global south, a latin america and africa. it's up in the bricks. countries in the country or some of the ration content over to the unipolar world or the old decisions are made in washington, is a destructive system that led to an increase in global entropy and global confrontation towards the 3rd world war couple things happen again. we are ready for negotiations on ukraine, but such on the terms that were already announced by potentially that is sort of the announce if occasion and liberation your legislative framework or, and it has to be protected from elements of nazi i do all the plugin as well as demilitarization, where you will bring on a line state to and much more. and we are not moving away from the zalinski with his adequate actions directed against people's is against humanity board against his own population. absolutely lovely. come cannon fodder for biden's,

the unhealthy and twisted game against russia has already shown what he is worse. it's about 10 minutes. some dialogue is enough for him to observe, but then we'll see what happens when they're real negotiated with pro, since begin to europe using the state of confusion and they didn't expect trauma to window, but they did not expect that eventually begin to return to common sense to the next door here were at allstate to national we on taking to the skies as a rupture display the capabilities of his life is the 5th generation 5 to drive this $257.00 bits of the arrow in the exhibition on monday it is a the 1st, and only russian plane, and so it was with self. technology is direct competitor, the american f. 35 was expected to make an appearance, but dropped out the last moment. well, at the show was on t's runjun shot. this right here is the beast that has been catching all the eyeballs here in airline to the 257,

the color chick village. because with as a test pilot, i want to say that this aircraft is really worthy. it has of excellent characteristics that have been tested and confirmed during flight tests, as well as during combat operations of 5th generation aircraft should have a certain set of characteristics that make it radically better than previous generations. all modern consumers of these military products always treat everything new with such attention in order to have a competitive advantage in potential combat. it's the very 1st time the russian sewell, 57,

and the american s. 35 house called face to face. now both russians, i'm, the americans have been trying to sell to india. india go with now we all know who the reliable defense spots. no, for india has been to find out for me to repeat that one is a great taken off the beautiful, highly maneuver. but you know, i was a test pilot in a test volunteer to be with the plan is to look at the bed, the slides. so i'm so happy to see it all last nearly a month. now, that would be that great. the excite print, nothing in the world, because the $257.00 fall on the 5th dimension maker pro for russia. read all the country for the 1st time to try and i know in my last the data, so i'm the now, later on when we came out of the car for the f 35, lou in the last 8, a 92023. and we're excited to be ripping the middle of this,

so $57.00 coming up and the plots time anywhere in the was that these tools that's done and you know, russian did not fit it's time linked together. it's not move very bad. maybe they're not doing it is clear to go. they thought the 57 roots dealer, much older, but suddenly 257 is a great taken off in the us for 3 needs of installation. next up in 257 is a contender. the s q 57 is a 5th generation aircraft. it's technologies and characteristics are designed to ensure its superior already for the next 40 to 50 years. these are low visibility technologies. they allow this aircraft to be used in areas where air defenses are active and other aircraft cannot be used. this significantly reduces the safe area of our opponents. there are also artificial intelligence technologies which allow

this aircraft to be used in network centric in groups scenarios. as $257.00 is a supersonic cruiser, which significantly improves its efficiency to carry out emissions and improve safety. first time alongside the q 57. we have the f 35 that the americans are trying to sell, in your opinion, which is a better bet for retail, where we're deeply convinced that the su 57 aircraft is ideally suited for india much better than any other aircraft. yeah, you can read more about this 257 on line at all t dot com is running down the top stories of the week. and of right now, this is the weekly the traditional sunday program, but back soon with more, appreciate the company, the, the,

the hello and welcome to was a part throughout history. humanity has tried many times to solve problems by means that have not only exacerbated the pre existing challenges, but also create as much bigger ones, taking nuclear weapons, for example, borne out of the need for security. they come with the risk of total elation. my guess today argues that our efforts to deal with climate change fall into a similar pattern at times doing more harm than good. why is it so difficult to prevent the treatment from becoming the disease in its own right? or to discuss that i'm now joined by judith country and american plumb intelligence and professor in america at the georgia institute of technology. and professor curry. it's amazing to talk to you. thank you very much for being available. well, thank you for inviting me now in one of your articles you roll that and let me
