the see what was most nowhere near the in the headlines here, and i'll see international as rushes for administer. is us count about, hold a telephone call that washington's request. lensky is coming to terms that i distinctly different future lies ahead with america. now looking for a piece done to look at some of the if the dialect will be in such flights mental, which now demonstrates united states to depression. i think yes. so we are not very happy with it. to be honest with the interesting question. the other day that washington's all our support for kids seem to be of a strong find food and told ukraine's hopes what nato membership

a dash or the us. so it's just not realistic to ukraine to take back brushes new territory. returning to you, freeze free 2014 borders is an unrealistic object chasing this. illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering for. meantime, europe and leaders are in a panic state of a scrambling to be included in peace holds on you cried as a representative from the trump administration says the you will not be stating that the type can you can. you will show this audience the ukrainians will be at the table and your p as will be at the table. the answer that last question, just you framed it? the answer is no. the . all right, as we all are running down the top stories of the weekend or the week it's the and we have so much talk about during this sunday program here. we're not to you. a

tough story to kick it off for you right now. the lines of communication are wide open. russia's foreign ministers still get laughed at office spoken with his us count about marco rubio over the phone. most goes as washington initiated to the torques. well, let's get some details now earlier my colleague using a neil was getting the details with auntie is an associate fuller or another 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 face to face 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 math to, to they've also read 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 the line.

starts with biopharma back in 2016 on the tightening of conditions for russian diplomatic missions functioning in the wes baseball. she's also re offense, that commitment to corporate on topical issues, international issues including ukraine, the conflict 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 was set by the 2 countries, fetus, trump and to 10. and they've also agreed to keep a regular context as well. yes. 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 of peace 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 and keith kellogg 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 monk. so go back to the country earlier this week for the last the housing 5 to put test $0.02 in full of this thing that he's not happy about the polite nature of this dialogue between most good and washington leslie smith. if the dialect will be in such

a large mental wish now demonstrated united states to russia. i think yes. so we are not very happy with it. 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 courting 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 of somewhat in praising. but of course we'll have to wait and see. so the level of rubio, coal that follow donald trump's historic tract was out of my food. and on wednesday, the hour and a half told. so i broke the ice off the use of 7 communications between the russian and american leadership. a tron shed his thoughts off the woods when he called a highly productive conversation issued comments to reporters on the ukraine

conflict. echoing a style is given by his defense secretary, that likely will not go down to wedding keith. the secretary of defense is excellent. pete 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 with all the diplomatic maneuvering kind of got to washington these days. so landscape still have only had quite a bit of incoming messages to balance. notably, moscow and washington save on self and about whether kids will actually have any kind of equal flushing the peaceful no, i don't think so as long as he's there, but you know, at some point you're gonna have to have elections too. you're gonna have to have an election to go to most of us can, you can negotiate with anyone, but zalinski isn't illegitimate. he has no right to sign anything. but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct these 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 and historical perspective. as we heard from about form of virginia estate republic, inside of the origin, blackie decided to show his reaction to these latest diplomatic defend uh president trump spoke for 90 minutes with president booth. and when, when he announced what had happened, what the discussion was about, he said re degree to work very closely together. we're going to visit both parties, nations. and we're gonna start peace negotiations, immediate like what is so tell line is that he said we will begin by calling president landscape to inform them of the com. just so you can see, you have 2 great powers. the us and russia coming together talking about the

settlement of the war. and you have, you have the landscape viewed as a minor play or keep in mind who's never gotten along very well with the with president trump. trump just just didn't, didn't have any shortage of positive interaction with the landscape. this is a combination of, of this effort to or they get into the end of the effort to diplomatically isolate rusher and president person. time is donald trump's direct told to a lot of effort and the own ukraine has shaken the core of european bureaucrats and politicians alike. is vice president j. d valez as being of the munich security conference we just now and as the day basically gave i have one in attendance quite the dressing down at the conference. so the processing fee so seems to have a unsettled lot inmates that lansky is heating coverage. you're up to quickly

create its own ami. um ben, send that all me to your cry. the owner of has to become self sufficient, united by common strands, ukrainian, and european. if 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. it's a really interesting cool ukraine, not a member of the european union in the x to be saying if i see europe needs its own all me. i mean, this is something we've heard the full from the european need is present back on the fonts, pick the clothes, but the so, but the, the last a few years. um, but of course in you, this is an incredibly, very contentious issue. and in fact, many isn't the repeating on the a total, including gemini, phillips luxury, all of schultz who says it's a food fact. no degree now has nearly 1000000 soldiers on the weapons. if

you count altogether that are relevant for the better future that they, while eclipse park would be better, but they are really eclipse by a bus them, munitions, and all the, all the kind. and because of this, so it's absolutely clear that the post slow you cream, would have a very strong army. well, however, there all those in europe who uh try to be likely to grill bold with this idea of having a european oh, i mean this includes the polish for administer. who is essentially said the european troops will be needed to be sent to you crate. and he didn't say nato 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 we'll have to be involved. this begs

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. in fact, 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 quite a bit as depleted the ability of your pin countries present. she defend themselves and they're huge 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,

but from putting call on everything else that's come. since they're there has, in my sense being that i porting of optimism surrounding it. but it appears not everyone is willing to get run the table. it was really interesting news. i heard that lengthy saying anthony nick, security conference, but he will only speak of the press a present. he won't speak to any to the else because it's not the russian delegation. it will only be present preaching well, got a loss of $180.00 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. in fact, uh, moving towards with russia. uh, is he going to be able to even get bobby to negotiating papers to 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 white honda that we have seen from him 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, us leaving us out of this europe. 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 lining you were to had a most go will pull your 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 put to north once the to mention that america needs your at the table put in was one on one talks with america. it's just like before the war when they met in switzerland and it looked like to call them up the walt that's 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, let's see, they're essentially saying that pitching is going to be using trunk 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 keys kellogg. 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? pardon 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 questions. 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 74, and ministers. they say they will read the looking at during up more sanctions to throw it against most 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 that 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. it is that you spend much of the time in the spotlight of the munich security conference. and it was basically propped up on a pedestal by the main stream media and his western handlers. it didn't go entirely smoothly for him, front and center on stage. he was denied the option to speak ukrainian. and then it

was over to the audience for some q and a about when quicker than expected can i speak ukrainian? no. i think i have a time for one kind of one question from the audience. maybe one or 2. somebody. but a question for the president, apparently not for me while, while russian was not present at the conference, the conversation was highlighted by one man. that wasn't even, that not even improved. it would not invade a native nation and my view because he understands the consequences would be too severe event on. so we also will not accept any solution that leads to the coupling of american and european security. only one person would benefit from that president put in 131414, however much the europeans may try to pretend otherwise and deny reality are losing

this conflict. at the end of the day, i think it not only challenges use their view of russia and themselves of, of the european countries and their, their world view. but i think it also fundamentally challenges their identity because they've been so wrapped up in a mess. the antics supremacist ideology of western exceptionalism. it's a shock to the, to the core and that you, that they are low. is there any you to a country that they have continually derided as, as a gas station? it's, it's crushing their own world view and conception of who they are, that they're losing this conflict and they just can't get away from to their obsession with support. and as the singular representation of drugs you can go through the and with a, from washington. now, drawing up towards to cities affected by the ongoing culture to being advertised for visitors has come on this. not with

a correspondent on the story around the cost of a k of has to do to a new low by selling there. are people suffering for cash and propaganda? and they've been doing this for quite some time. now, as we can see in this report by the telegraph from august 2020 for the war crime to our full 3000 pounds. the tourist, flocking to golf and ukraine's tragedy in the last 2 months west or media had been all over these 4 tours. these destroyed buildings carried traces of rushes were in ukraine. their parts of the dark tourism landmarks that alberta chose to visit during his trip west and his flock to ukraine for war zone tourism unusual vacation trend peculiar trend has been set with this high risk place becoming a tourist attraction of great advertisement for the target audience. slash clientele, so how much do these tours cost? you may wonder. well, there are quite a few of them and many promising that part of the proceeds will go to the ukranian

army. as you can see right here, capital tours key of all for some of the cheapest packages, starting at 120 euros for a private tour of the horrors of russian occupations. where you can pause for point in photographs and it's the home sitting remnants of char, the apartment complexes, was scarred by shrapnel. war tours is selling. keep with a bit of a mark up at a $150.00 euros per person, which will get you a p. got destroyed military equipment in the capital as uh, 250 euros a pump. it's double the phone visit to both truck and airplane and for some horror stories where they invite you to witness evidence of russian regression with your own eyes, their version of events. of course, it's not me sure here felix also drove eastern parts. you create a used car key and other cities and different patrols the 40s. yeah. yeah. a

brochure and that's so they're coming to try to shows that the damage is that because squared is the use of the previous tv. everything is that is there or how it was happened. so this for now, for building and they're talking about that it was uh, its own air system shooting down dismissal as i'm hitting its own people. they're talking about that i would say no, it's only russian who's behind us and butcher eh, ukraine was the one of the setup. who check your brain was, have i have numerous people who knew that was how it was happening in one chair when it was there, under the rest of the soldiers, at least as they were not being shot at, they were checked to see what your friend was talking about it was the total was and there's all those back you know what happening to repeat for any other situation. they're talking about any frame. ready where it's on there, thank you. and for up to so part of the story its own building. and they're saying that it's the rest of this all shooting down. those will be directly where there's the,

there's no evidence about that being drawn to those people who are being sent to those stores. well, what's the remains that popular destination for these tours? it's not the only draw companies like visit ukraine have to offer. they also have a tour open t occupied cities for around 400 years. now the company promises to take visitors to the same street from which there were horrific salts of civilians being solved. that's just not talked about who did the actual shooting. 5 these are the chip packages because most of them actually costs upwards over a 1000 years and go all the way up to 3200 years. how do you feel when you look at like this? would this be like a condensed? there's a lot of stuff here when you look at this, like how do you dislike is burying things? the feelings sometimes is in that way. all of this is designed to make

foreigners paid. and ukraine a means it's hated side because these stores are not only attached kyle, but also pure propaganda. they don't take these taurus to the other side where they could see the i mailed angels and don't yet, for example, and memorial dedicated to all the children who died from key of shelling of residential areas. why not take them to the site and build that's the mastercard, where ukrainian forces assess a building on fire trapping and killing 48 people and entering over 200 others, their own citizens who happen to adhere to at different points of view. nobody is going to talk about how many people are that are coming to children, died, it was on bus routes, as the water train was killing them, just showing regular people regular cities where there was no mountain. we have objects of the x was there at all. here he pray has no, that's successful at all. there's. there's just one of its own people,

the ship. there's only people for the, for $500.00. and they're just taking money out of this phone tragedy, which has happened the free mind about this is, this is the ethical part of the free metrics. it's just a regime of hatred and devices. and one that says um, toward its own piece, and that's what it's all about. i'd have to see frame because it was a hatred not because of russian motors, but because of the phrase, government and hatred toward people like me the one piece. so this is what the plan is really about. and so basic crane is all about donations, as we keep hearing from zillow ski, and co give us money at your own expense, travel to ukraine, as you're rolling the risk, whatever it takes, as long as you help us, even though nothing changes this fly, it's all the help they've been getting, which is in the billions that this points, doc, tourism is a small part of it, but it's very important in terms of propaganda and ukraine. state agency for tourism development is all fords. as long as they are in control of where people go,

what they say and who they talk to shut the ca. yes, i'm sure. what is doctor's in here? it means visiting dissolves to areas. and we understand that there's a particular audience quite full, and i actually didn't visit such places. so that is an interest to such places in ukraine today as a state, we cannot stop people having an interest to such places from coming. when we cannot stump something, it's important to take the leads and organize it properly when it comes to ensuring the accuracy of the information provided to those people of narratives of the understanding those people will have when they leave you train. people and the boss could easily organize similar tours, but locals there have imagine profiting from people's misery. now these tourists are also likely to go into patrol to where it would be as b u. so get

a taste of force mobilization, or witness. one of the various neo nazi parades to get a real taste of ukraine that wouldn't fit the narrative for foreigners. just want to come to see that it was done by some the other side. you're going to get prosecuted in the west right away for just wanting to find out the truth. to wanted to see the other side. remember those who nuances weren't even a friend, sprint slash or for express, went through saw and show the other side of the done by the people who are fighting for going by the russian army, which is vital for the people, the boss right away. the key regime and the reason the other western media started to go against them and even just their accreditation, stop them from entering crane the nonsense. so this is anybody who doesn't want to do to, to see the choose. there's one for why the brain and the ones provide because in the west is lying about this because they're back to this region. and they don't

want people to go on travel to see what really happened. a lot inside of story is as always, been sold as the truth and the west is eating it up without any consideration for the misery and suffering of thousands of people on the other side. dark indeed over to india. now here on the program, but 18 people died in a some pete of happened at the new daily railway station on saturday. i should warn you. there are disturbing images coming your way of the tragedy. a code as people were headed to the mail. i really just pilgrimage, or fortunately, this time pete was called as passengers rushed aboard, a train that had arrived. indeed, as prime minister in arranging, moody has expressed his condolences to the families of those who don't spend one to south african out here on the program on the web of middle tree imports and exports because the nation's economic freedom fighters potty is claimed that while pretoria has bind arms, sales to israel. western nations are acting as middleman and transferring the

weapons themselves of the economic freedom fighters is deeply concerned that despite south africa's prohibition of weapons sales to israel, there are indications of very serious breaches of this and barto. the us is, israel's largest weapon supplier in germany is in 2nd place. both of us in germany are big importers of south african weapons. it is therefore evident that south african arms sold to these countries are transferred onwards to israel and are used to kill palestinians in gaza. this happens because south africa does not have the requisite prevention mechanisms. yes, it says that the europe refuses to inspect weapons shipments, enabling the final destination of the export at arms to be kept under wraps. it's now demanding an investigation new to the countries as control procedures. for more than 20 years, south africa has suspended the weapons expos to israel. and 2 years ago, the government filed charges with international court of justice,

accusing israel of committing genocide and gaza. we spoke with a south african m p from the economic freedom fighters party who says the mechanism for weapons controls needs to be modernized. a large amount of weapons had been sold to countries that uh, the largest arms homes export is to ease or the concern that we have is that because the national in a c, c has not been dealing with this issue properly. it does also not be able to go through the inc user certificates for those websites. it doesn't have the resources, it doesn't have the manpower to do so. and those kinds of things to do these countries. and we cannot put it in the arms from being sold on is early being used to replenish the stop. so those countries and to export to the,

to up update each route. but that story does continue online right now, dot com with the rest of our top stories as well. for the meantime, thanks for sharing your sunday with us. we all back soon with more of the week the my fellow americans today are on forces joined our nato allies in air strikes against the serbian forces the
