7:01 am
difficult. the benjamin that's in the office to open the gates of hell on some standing by his side is b u. s. secretary of state does nothing great as well. regional i'm this is a little more israel in the middle east. more countries like that, the world would be a safer and a better place. and this is what we hope for the region and for our planet the present most go this monday, keep not for look, such be a pretty dramatic week and the wild, open to politics. i see keeping me company this out. well, next stop, re at the kremlin has officially confirmed that most goes top diplomat. so good
7:02 am
allow for us along with the presidential aid will fly to saudi arabia on tuesday that they will meet with the american representatives to start to piece on the ukraine conflict. they are expected to hold discussions with their american counterparts on tuesday, which will primarily focused on restoring the full spectrum of russian american relations. additionally, they will address preparations for possible negotiations regarding the ukranian situation and organizing a meeting between the 2 presidents. while joining monotonous duty also correspondence donald's ad quotes uh, i mean, don't you mean obviously trying to keep on top of all the information that has been coming in. i understand that we're getting when was our you developments at this stage? so just really give us a sense of the lamp the lamp now. well of course the latest piece of news we have uh comes out of this recent to bilateral meeting between rushes for administer. start a live broadband the serbian ser for administer. but of course, that's not not only bilateral relations were discussed at this meeting,
7:03 am
lab roth spoke a lot about what we can expect at the upcoming negotiations between the americans and the russians in saudi arabia that's coming up. i mean, one of the things that the kremlin had said earlier was that the russian side is going into this with the mentality of trying to re establish a comprehensive relations between the united states and russia that have suffered for so long under the hostile foreign policy of a previous us administrations and lab, rob echoed this at the press conference. he didn't say that russia's going there to make demands or. busy to made thems to the american side, and studies said that the main goal of the russian side at these negotiations is to listen to the other side. i my fears the civil effect. whenever we go into negotiations upon the suggestion of our partners, as the primary goal is to listen to them. so the former president's prudent and trump during their phone conversations agreed on the need to move past the completely abnormal period and relations between these 2 great power, not
7:04 am
a month when essentially they were not communicating at all. if except about some technical and humanitarian issues, the presidents concurred, that dialogue needs to be resumed on all matters that can be addressed with the involvement of both russia and the us. so this includes discussions about the situation in ukraine. see the middle east and several other regions around the world that are currently experiencing unrest. therefore, we will listen to our american counterpoint. and of course, we will be ready to respond. we will report back to our leaders who will make decisions regarding further steps of to nominate solve this talk of bilateral negotiations between russia and the united states. of course, there's always been a lot of concerns from the european union, but they're going to be sidelined and all this and lab rob spoke about this at the press conference. he has watched the european union be invited to these negotiations when they have, they still have this philosophy that goes back to the men's good agreements. in
7:05 am
2015 he said, he mentioned something that the finished president said at the recent munich security conference saying that could be possible for the, the european union to negotiate some sort of truce to buy time for the european conference so that they can build up their military for a nother conflict, and this is exactly what a number of european officials admitted to in terms of the ministry agreements back in 2015 when they specifically germany and france had worked together with russia to come to an agreement on a truce that russia had of course, negotiated in good faith, but officials from france and germany had later admitted that this was just some excuse to buy ukraine time to build up its military infrastructure and prepare for a larger conflict. so why would russia wants that? obviously, lab ross has brought attention to this. obviously russia wants a definitive end to this conflict. they don't want a repeat of a drawn out conflict, but it's just going to lead to more death and destruction later on that hand. in
7:06 am
connection to this right, in connection to the peace talks, once cnn journalist actually asked to start the lab rubber question about the idea of russia making compromises in this, in these piece talks specifically connected to a territorial concessions and level mentioned something very interesting that you brain has gotten plenty of compromises already. specifically, like i mentioned in the midst of agreements, but there was also russia's attempts to mediate the euro. my don situation in 2014, before it had become a new not single day tasks that lead to the beginning of this war and the 1st place they were given plenty of territorial concessions throughout the soviet period as well. and so it just goes to show that russia would obviously not be willing to make more concessions in that regard. especially to a states that live, rob said, is, has committed so many crimes,
7:07 am
essentially the repression of russian culture and the russian language when the peoples republic sub dynamics can lugens had declared independence from ukraine through democratic election through a democratic rep referendum in 202-014-2015 uh before they had voted to become part of russia. they were attacked by you bring your brain and pulled them terrorists and launched a military campaign against them. this is something that lab ralph also spoke about and he said that as a result of all this, people have to be held accountable of the notes. as for the outcome of the munich conference, i can say the following. so everyone must be held accountable for their actions when someone engages in lawlessness for many years. and when a nazi regime is arm to kill its own citizens or all while hoping to somehow slip by and hide under a nuclear umbrella that will no longer be tolerated. people must answer for their deeds that's even stated in the bible if they attempt to push for some cunning
7:08 am
ideas about freezing the conflict while continuing to wage war as per their usual customs and habits. then why invite them at all of us section state, marco rubio, he was also in the middle east. he was an as well now he's landed in saudi arabia. i mean, what, he'd been saying, what do we know about who might be that from washington? well, of course, like you said we've, we've, we've seen marco rubio, secretary of state land there in saudi arabia. so clearly he's going to be part of this delegation. but we've also heard other comments like from trump's special envoy to the middle east. and steve, with coff who said that he's going to saudi arabia with his colleagues, another one who has mentioned and reports of the national security advisor. uh, so that's the, those 3 people we know for now are going to be part of that delegation. who knows who else we still don't have confront confirmed information on other people, but you know, this is. busy with the state of the state of goal of building trust with moscow and also making progress towards peace. and this is all something that's obviously
7:09 am
looked like trouble for flooding. there's a wednesday, at least from his part because he's been making up to sort of fantasies about us or a russian invasion of europe for trying to spread the tension between russia in the united states that have actually started to be able to rebuild their relations in recent times, but according to what trump said recently, he doesn't really 5 that he's saying that most cows completely dedicated to piece of the process in a way or on the you want to stop by the i see that we spoke wrong in hard save, which offers with a very extended, very big powerful receive you understand
7:10 am
hitler and they did a long time. they've done it before, but i think you'd like, i think you would like to stop. that would have been a big problem for us. so really, that's surprising. why is the lensky would be frustrated the after the way? everything has gone down essentially. i mean, she have, hasn't even been invited to these talks and saudi arabia, meanwhile, is the lensky right now is in the united arab emirates right next door to where these talks are taking place. but finally, you know, i, us, head of state is seen ida, i with moscow. this is after years of russian officials calling for peace saying they want to sit down at the negotiating table and washington just not giving them the time of day until now. and it's finally time for flooding his lensky and the key ever seem to take a back seat and all of this. so we're gonna have to see how these negotiations go going forward. and what comes out of it. definitely, like i said to you, it's going to be very interesting. 24 hours will be waiting for whatever comes out
7:11 am
of the wash and delegation. maybe press conference even. who knows? that has to come onto correspondent don't. unfortunately, the load is officially a rock on the 3 day munich security conference, and many of the events, european attendees, and no doubt breathing a sigh of relief. as often he was v p to the stage, telling the maple that priorities were wrong. j. d bombs was met with near silence and shocked looks. but it's nothing compared to that meltdown. he triggered in the conferences, chatter. this order is easy to disrupt. it's easy to destroy, but it's much harder to reboot. so let us stick to these values. let us not reinvent them, but focus on strengthening their consistent application. let me conclude and this becomes difficult. the
7:12 am
joint by putting, let's guess, to discuss the biggest moments from unit one is how the west is having to adapt and compromise in another changing world. use of i will start with you if i may just let's go back to this uh, unix security conference. so just tell me about your thoughts here. the obvious vision in view points in the interests conflicting vision between europe and america. it was really on display as it definitely was. i have when we look at the election of donald trump, it's probably europe's worst nightmare. because the over the past 3 years, they've approached a conflict in ukraine from a one dimensional perspective of not allowing any room for a diplomatic solution. and now all of a sudden, when you have the most powerful country in the world there, nato ally, they're probably most dependable ally, historically pulling your kid complete. you turn,
7:13 am
you have multiple voices coming from the european cox, and that you have a man like for bonds who wants to use uh, you have people like the germans, the european commission, who are more pro war, continuing the war. and you have a lot of countries on decided to do with smart since the beginning of the conflict . it kept this relationship with ukraine and kept this relationship with russian. it was a book, carp compartmentalize both. that wasn't easy, but it was a huge diplomatic success. and it gave a blueprint a template of how these countries should have managed the past 3 years. but then again, none of them did throughout these of 3 years. turkish brezza, ridge of type ad one was called pro russian when he was probably one of the only pro peace guys, probably the 1st pro peace politician vocal and advocating for a diplomatic solution. and he did everything he could. but unfortunately, he was working against the blog that don't want to see
7:14 am
a protracted word. it's all content over to you if i can. of course, the indian foreign minister, a sort of mind john john carter, also taking part in the conference. gentleman, please closely listen to this comment from the indian foreign minister. the law is at the time and i have to say this in all honesty with west treated democracy as a western kind of president and was busy encouraging non democratic forces in the global top. it showed us, i mean in many, many cases i can point to somebody recent ones, where actually every thing the to say you while you at home, you don't practice abroad. when guys do us actually spread democracy. the us once installed public leaders all over the world. and, you know, if you look at, during the cold war, in the name of the fighting communism, a do us just w installed uh router,
7:15 am
uh, dictators in latin america and in africa and in asia. and same thing now is uh, happening in, uh, uh we, ukraine, you know, so there are no elections that a zillion fee is, uh, basically a uh, over dictator. uh, do i do us uh, funded and armed denazi's and ukraine for more than a decade. so in the munich security conference, you know, they talked about, you know, and the thing was, remote people in the world. and, uh, i, that's what they really have to work towards. and if you look at your opinions, they just realized that the, they're just, they're vassals, cold and strong over to you. if i made the chinese for administer was at the munich security conference. he, he made a few statements here. have a listen to what the chinese foreign minister had to say,
7:16 am
please. so let me show you around on china and russia are 2 neighbors with a long borderline based on our mutual trust. we have built a comprehensive strategic partnership. so about china ending gas purchases from russia. i'd like to ask this if china does not buy gas from russia, what country will be able to provide them with so much gas as to meet the needs of chinese people? it's not possible, and it's not safe because you know, some countries tend to politicize economic and trade issues and treat them as a tool to suppress china. we'll see and you change and the trouble is the different tools being used. now we have the title track, this is a good cost. we have also seen how trouble needs that to, to consolidate. you seem to know, i know you mentioned perception by the regards to you'd be sure to clear. yes, we have seen how the whole for the past couple of years now we have seen how beautifully impalas have views us as, as a piggyback on, on a ton of russia. and now that use, you know, the,
7:17 am
the entire chick off from the printer to the we've problems tried to deliver new rules. and usually it's a good thing. i mean, this is the common fasting that's almost always been saying that look useful and used to and, and you don't utilize as being a problem on the wall and beaten, you know, using gives us the feet that slow continuous. so true the competition we've russia and using your clear to us the up and if he thinks about of cost, also be riding that you asked him for also financial and you can support why want to turn to a story from central africa? now the militant group and 23 has taken control of one of the largest cities in the democratic republic of the congo. the african union, though, has demanded that the insurgents withdrew from the territory that they've so falsified. we are all very, very concerned about an open regional in east on over 70 or see this really to right to the
7:18 am
need for question and the need for m 23. i need to support us to these um, withdrawal from the go. my airport is signed up to bite douglas m 23. recently say is the city of calvo too. it is a 2nd provincial capital that the group has taken over in the east and d. c. in recent months will start to use it in contrast to have direct clear to me by for one of supporting the insurgents with both west 3 and soldiers pinball. and he has denied there's claims on them. 23 insist it's fight is its own aimed at liberating civilians from a legit government corruption. but the, the else he's president double down on his accusations up in the unix security conference last week. good one. the one that has conducted this kind of publication for years that would be no measures taken to protect the integrity of the
7:19 am
democratic republic of the congo. this unfortunately raises a risk of creating a precedent, uninspiring other countries to do the same thing. that's course, so i've now, since you understand research at all, but we've got some black in rewind, i'm. but 1st off, i want to get your impressions of these latest developments on the ground. i'm 23. it's now taken to pretty big cities in the east of the nation. what's the ultimate goal? one of the minutes in group all day trying to go all the way to constructor? i don't think so. i think people as, as well got to listen to what them to be as be seen from the, from the 1st day. they want to negotiate. they've asked contrast that to kinda discuss because the reality that everybody still keeping, ignoring is that the parents of the people who are today and i'm 53, have been for 30 years refugees ever since 1994. so they've lived encompassing
7:20 am
references because they were denied uh where they were originally, where they used to live, where they read the entity trees and operating from end up being refugees. and that part of, of, of, of coal release has been segregated, discriminated, and it does read this some, some peaks, not really in this last year. so i'm 23 took arms again because the last time they were there in 2012 the government to encourage us that which was before the current one had agreed and had in fact assigned that they would take on the the, the issue never was done so now they're back to that is the whole thing that it's like we have, i saw the memory spend and then the retribution sometimes when it comes to africa and politics. so we've been there before and here we are again. so they've been request asking for negotiation and everybody as, as to take a 2nd, the in case us a negotiate. and now here we are again. i mean go my boss taken yes. but that means
7:21 am
that there is no companies on me anymore because that is how they were able even to go through this 2nd, the 2nd city and everybody that came to, to fight you had romanian verse and there is you had. busy the motorcycle even had the, the, the country so i'm just, i think the tried to have a contrast, but everybody after a visit the wide fact so he, we all, i think empties it again has been asking for negotiations. i want to off to that. i mean, we obviously, so the african unit, the union summit introduced the ball box. obviously the crisis and the d. c was on the attend. um, but we also sold the day off the president decide to attend the munich conference rather than travel to the issue can capital, what do you make of that in terms of priorities?
7:22 am
but that says it's all it's contrast as being all the time trying to. busy sources that the people to come and do the things for him because he doesn't want to do what he has to do. first of all is to is to deliver governance. and because at this time, even the african uh, the different organizations like the east african community like the subject, the south africa community also had been pushing him to, to go there. know, instead of joining his fellow africans and, and clean the heads of states in that is he, he said, because he cannot face them. and what is that a, as that this is going to the west, like looking for for, for western uh, solutions for, for africans, problems. and for years africa now decided that it should be african solution for african phones. so that does it or that does this stuff should stick at the like,
7:23 am
not dealing with his own people. and you can see it. you can see it. it's a disaster. what are you seeing and gone, go to for the moment is not just in the cable. it's everywhere on as, as long as you write the set out. but it's does austin, but it's the, the innocent civilians who always quote in the crossfire as people, when the high political levels try and figure it out between themselves. sometimes priorities are a bit skewed. that was all, but we're not support john list on research. so thank you very much for your time. like i said, we're having what is wrong now web benjamin, that's and you all who has stretched and how much saying quote that the gates of hell will be opened. the pm's comments came during a by lot for meeting with the us secretary of state in jerusalem. on sunday. the allies highlighted how bad vision for the middle east was holy aligned with marco rubio, adding the washington box tel aviv to the hilt, presenting it even as
7:24 am
a model for the wild. the nations founded in the ashes, and then the aftermath of a horrifying crime against humanity stood from its very inception, from the very day of its birth, against threats, from every angle in every corner. and has served as an example to the world of a pluralistic society. a free enterprise, democracy and one that if there were more israel's in the middle east, more countries like that, the world would be a safer and a better place. and this is what we hope for the region and for our planet. well, the statements followed, i'm meeting with things really prime minister. his 1st stop on surprisingly on the us secretary of state's middle is tour. guys. i was at the top of the agenda and a strong show of unity in india. rubio underlined what they called an unbreakable alliance between these role and the last on the trumps leadership and enjoying statements. they reaffirmed their comments trusting jake to eliminate how masses
7:25 am
military political presence and guides them into the whole. so thanks the last voice roland, securing the release of 3 more hostages on such a day and made it clear and israel will not back down until all remaining captives are freed. let's take a listen. we have a common strategy and we can always share the details of this. the strategy with the public, including when the gates of hell will be open, as they surely will, if all our hostages are not released. until the last one of them. the guides of the how will be if i need to? yeah. so essentially i code trump who had issued out to me to my head of subsidies exchange from us must release old hostages at once. smoking stage portions, as the current deal dictates or else hell will break loose effectively ending the ceasefire. isn't now as also back trumps bombshell proposal wisely condemned to take control of guys on after really catering,
7:26 am
it's hold on to 1000000 residents. so let's take a listen while he, i to say. ready joyce is the largest. ready the risk, but the was not the most we tried. so we so that was why not give gavin has a choice now with more than 48000 palestinians killed them. the gas of war. antonia always suddenly presenting trumps one as an act of salvation. likely a necessary step to fulfill his ambition to change the face of the middle east as he awaits or waited on sunday. it is clear to everyone that we are facing opportunities to achieve victories that we never dreamed of. perhaps even in the
7:27 am
near future, we will achieve all of these, which would change not only the situation for israel, but also change the face of the entire middle east. meanwhile, has the initial phase of the sci fi agreements between these world at home us near its end negotiations over what happens next of finally, the belatedly set to begin. that is after president trump's middle east envoy insistence sunday, that a 2nd stage is absolutely going to happen. but trump wants to see through a contrast to an attorney, yahoo was never ruled out review and the war after the 1st stage now with washington. the 2nd, the town, and his really delegation is heading to cairo on monday to hammer out the details. let's see where this goes. we'll just, before we go, let's talk. she returned to africa specific a camera room, but a bunch of the russian orthodox charges watching to facilitate local access to drinking water. the mission is between walls and several hours. well, there is
7:28 am
a lack of code for a tough residence previously helped with long distance is to access the vital results all of a resulted to drink from unclean forces with a potential risk of contracting this entry or other diseases. the rational charges african bronsels or construct to wells and tons in this kenya will all be on something on that as i'm sorry, go for this. i was like at the top with all the latest stuff. it's tied to it for until then a pretty c to class. i'm going underground. option for tons and takes on a c. i a the i'm action retents a welcome to going under gabriel. gusting all around the world from the opposite. the middle east with donald trump's foreign minister secretary state marco rubio if
7:29 am
he is to be here to sell the ethnic cleansing the file as time that is the world, including where i'm so we can view from, rejects the plan, continuing to support a 2 state solution for the palestinians, while trump $7000000000.00 of us age and the full mass civilian killing, 2000 pound bombs. but israel reaches net and yahoo! the president has at least opened the pandora's box of u. s. a. d. use when it was too complex for the c i a to the stabilize governments around the world. joining me from the us capital, washington dc is a 2 decade c, i a man who testified about the corruption of x c. i a both robot gates under george. we're senior today male goodman, and senior fellow at the center for international policy, a professor of government to john hopkins university and the national security calling list for account a bunch. it provides a goodman counter punch where i used to. right? well, i kind of right. i should still be writing for it. i got to talk to you about right? yeah. i know time to stop right. exactly. no, no time. clearly because of your new president. i blame it will on him. you
7:30 am
a secretary of state. rubio is here, said you'll to continuing his release to a. we get strange comments from trump where policy doesn't match his comments off the cuff. and he says things that i read the end of the previous administration, just from your insight in years there. i don't know what you think of john radcliff, the new head of the c i a year old. we used to what, how far is trump being undermined? from the inside or is he being more undermined than usual or less? well, frankly, i don't feel is being undermined at all. i figure, i feel that he's appointed a group of lawyers who are paying fuel to to him. and what really bothers me is they're going out of their way to do things that are just as cruel and just as unconscionable as trump himself. so they can climb up the ladder, a favortism in the cabinet and you look at how 70.
