the, the, the, and the headlines are, what are the international history may well be in the making right now would piece solve the table in saudi arabia. the discussions are in a high get between the russian and american officials to normalize relations and find a solution to the ongoing ukraine on the t f, as bitterly understanding that the men's provisions are unexplainable. and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them as a dose of reality. the united nations as lot of minutes and then seeing those discussions for a settlement can happen without t of before. so go on and he's apparently not even on the guest list. and as you're up looked for a spot on the side lines. you politicians hold emotional tolten powers,

but no plan of action is developed. thoughts of hungary slams them for essentially trying to prolong global we're seeing a gathering a pro or anti trump frustrated european leaders who wants to stop in agreement from happening on pc credit. the russian and american senior officials and not only talking for the 1st time in ages whether even sitting down face to face, that is the 1st time in years it's breaking news or what are the international lead straight to saudi arabia. we go by total solver in full swing between the russian and american delegation. as you see right here, the role looking to re establish ties and pay for the way to settle the ukraine. conflict on the kremlin says there is yet to be a timeline set for a summit with the 2 nations lead. there is no clarity on the dice, have some preliminary assessments when emerge regarding the results of today's

negotiation. but we will learn about this later, after the dialogue concludes important. as for rushes, commitment to peace, this position has been clear from the very beginning. and president putin has consistently reiterated in his readiness for peaceful negotiations since the 1st days in fortune. unlike many other countries, particularly ukraine, which has turned away from peace talks and europeans who have always talked about war and the need to continue the conflict at any cost, including the previous washington administration, which also supported the war until the last ukrainian. therefore, this commitment for peace has been evident from the start. it is important for us to achieve results. of course, we prefer peaceful means to accomplish our goals. additionally, pollutant has repeatedly stated that he is ready to negotiate with zalinski if necessary. or however, the legal formalization of any agreements requires serious discussion, taking into account the reality related to the possibility of challenging zalinski is legitimacy. right? so out, the folks in the re add between the russian and american delegations is now going

on for more than 2 hours. with the ego you go to pissing off alt correspondent, our senior political correspondent remains and one of the saudi royal palaces in the capital that we are currently in this improvise waiting area inside of the same palace where the negotiations are still continuing. i think they're actually happening right above us right there. on the next floor, we were allowed to get in that room for just a few moments and we saw rushes 40 minutes to elaborate of a residential envoy. you will truck off on one side of the table and the us delegation headed by your secretary of state, marco rubio, on the other side of it. you do have quite a lot to talk about. it's been a long time since delegations up such high profile between the 2 countries and met the relationship for many thoughts was already on the brink of collapse. and now this is definitely

a positive sign that they are talking to each other. so of course, the conflict in ukraine is one of them, but both sides have been stressing that they are also going to be focusing on normalizing relations between the 2 countries. and of course, also preparing for the meeting between the presidents, between environment food and donald trump. we don't know exactly when that's going to happen. we don't exactly know if it's going to take place here in saudi arabia, but surely we will find out soon because the 2 leaders did agree to meet during that phone conversation, which happens a less than a week ago, rory, it's astonishing the pace with which events are unfolding less than a week ago. they, they, they talked and now we're already here in saudi arabia and the delegations are already talking to each other. well, the ukrainian,

the conflict is not the only topic on the agenda as the western sanctions have so predictably, buelo rang, american companies have lost hundreds of billions of dollars as they packed up their businesses and left russia. so paving the way for their raton is one of the goals and adults between washington and moscow. it's also, by the way, according to the ceo of the russian direct investment fund member, by the way, who's also a member of the as your say, russian delegation currently in re the stay connected is very important to discuss the joint economic projects. we will discuss joint projects for their assumption of dialogue in general, and will certainly move along the political track, which is headed by mr. lever off and mister bush cove, respectively. and in the economic track, i have been assigned to leave and i believe that we will reach a mutual understanding. and this mutual understanding will be reflected in joint projects. for example, we know that a number of us oil companies want to return. therefore, it is necessary to establish a dialogue in areas not only political,

but also in investments in economics. on the one hand, we have some losses. and then the other hand, our economy is growing by 4 percent per year, and the european economy is either not growing or best is growing at one percent. therefore, many of our colleagues believe the sanctions on the contrary actually contributed to our economic growth. they contributed to our independence in our sovereignty. it is absolutely obvious that president biden's policy has undermined confidence in the dollar and has actually created many threats to the american economy. the by moving ministration, has created a very wrong narrative. in fact, the sanctions helped russia become more independent, but they hurt the dollar and her american companies, many american companies have simply lost significant future revenues and lost their market positions. they understand that chinese companies are replacing these positions of american companies. therefore, is very important to note that the by the administration gave

a lot of this information. a lot of wrong messages are dialogue allows us to tell the truth. the russian economy is developing well. and we also need joint projects, including, for example, in the arctic and then other countries is precisely joint projects that will allow us to be more successful. the policy of containing russia of limited and russia has obviously failed. and this too must be honestly admitted. i believe that there will probably be progress not in the long term, but in the next 2 to 3 months. the atmosphere in the beginning of the dialogue were set by a positive call from president putin and president trump, and this atmosphere to hear each other's concerns. to understand each other, the by the administration did not try to understand russia's concerns. it had its own ideological dogmas and positions. and what we are seeing so far is still very early, and the american side is ready to listen to russia's position,

ready to understand russia's position. and that's where the dialogue begins. that one of his columns lensky as well, making his rounds across the region, off of the u. a. e. he's now in total for towards the end of working out the details of a future of prisoner exchange. so while it still lies on the saudi capital right now. so that's key is essentially trying to remain relevant on the sideline, saying that without care, but these talks, adults mean nothing. so the ukraine will not take part. ukraine knew nothing about this. and ukraine regards any negotiations about ukraine without you frame as having no results. we cannot recognize any things or agreements about us that took place without us. the train from washington. the key is essentially ground to a hold get this reports. now that the us has told ukraine has time to pay up. the bill is huge. washington repeatedly wants people to compensated with

$500000000000.00 or prior assistance. and that number, by the way, is larger than germany's reparations for world war one. on request, surprise, surprise, ukraine's red rock minerals, various infrastructure oil and gas resources. and yet as the tide tons, rushes and baths and pass it up to the us. and the says now any possible agreement with most of the takes place now will be far worse for ts than it was in the past. in the way it's a moving team is literally understanding that the mental provisions are unattainable and that the new conditions for ending the hostilities and ukraine will be far worse for them. same with the, the, we all see the developments after the entry into office of the republican us administration. as we have called for over many months, diplomacy has finally been actively brought into the game. regarding e. u. countries in the united kingdom are absolutely on faithful to their words. some of those, they cannot be a party to any future agreement on the resolution to the ukrainian crisis

whatsoever. present the european politicians are incapable of strategic thought or to lose you. the divides within europe don't conceal the fact that in the event of a ceasefire, they intend to re on ukraine and to prepare it for the resumption of warfare. and if you crane today has irrevocably lost, not just crime media, but also the do net scan. lou gone to the people's republic, and the carson ends up rogia regions of the self proclaimed ukrainian presidents, a lensky loss legitimacy. last may be. drag the country into a conflict for the advancement of others geopolitical interest at the cost of the lives of hundreds of thousands of ukrainians. which as moments ago i was having a child here in the studio with all to contribute atara read. we're talking about there was a sense of cautious optimism about these talks in riyadh, but what really can come from today's event? well, how about us? or eventually will be a meeting between president trump and president pretend um, so this is incremental and it's been described as the talks before the actual negotiations. i think it's a check in a lot of trusts was broken during the,

by the regime, of course, between washington and russia. so this is a rebuilding of that trust to even have these talks now. so when skis been pounding is chest because he wasn't invited. but frankly, it would have been useless to invite him because there's a couple of things with that. so when skis, the illegitimate president, you frame. so when you're talking about wanting a lasting peace and legal documents being signed, how can an illegitimate president verify that? so because the us was the primary funder of this war, it was a proxy word constructed, right. and basically via you pay right and left space that it was a money laundering operation for the buying regime. but when it comes to concessions on both sides of love to know what russia is expected to give to the west and the side because you know, no stream is being sabotaged. 350000000000 euros of russian money on the foreign exchange is stolen is most functional country in the world. we've been knocked off

the swift. they're hardly any direct flights out of most go to any countries, the roubles being tumbled. yeah. what is russia supposed to give the concession table? exactly, and, and, you know, despite all of that challenge, rushes still groaned its economy as the 4th largest in the world. and the rubel actually is still holding on strong. so i think what you're talking about is you're bringing up some valid points, but russia doesn't know russia needs trusts to trust the west again. and in order to do that, there needs to be some concessions by the us. end of the biggest one was nato, right. they've already said and trump made that clear. so to the department of defense and tags worth he's, he's said, look, there's never gonna be ukraine, part of nato. it's not gonna happen. they don't qualify anyway. and you know, remember when trump ran, he talked about dismantling it though. and so your opinion leaders are quite shaking in their boots. and then of course, there was

a announcement by both the vice president and secretary of defense saying to your pay, look, you're gonna have to pay for your own defense. the us is, is now, you know, we're not going to be your big brother anymore. you're on your own. yeah, so to speak, you pay the bill. look at the u. k. prime minister kissed on. okay. he's be, you know, he's been absolutely pro. busy for such a long time. now, what are the western press? spins it differently, but kissed all over saying okay, we're going to send troops in ukraine. we're going to send troops to your crazy. oh, what a trump side. oh, now we're going to send troops to be a piece, contingent, inter ukraine, right? the guy, it's flip flopping off to saying we're going to support you credit for the next 1. 100 g is more weapons, more cash. wait. what? oh, now is peaceful. you know, i mean, he's kind of like blowing in the wind, that guy and you go to wonder why people in the u. k. tax paying citizens are so tired of him. when he bought pension it was, were freezing to death in the winter. could you sending money instead of the pension? is he sending it to ukraine? so you're, he's in a bad state, isn't that the 3 oil companies, b, p. show and, and chevron have made a close to a trillion dollars. collectively since the war begins. so for them, this has been

a boon. of course the north stream disaster also gave them an economic boom which was besides being a disaster, it was a work crime committed. and we know that the us, i mean that reporting was, was sorted out and that investigation was done that the us had something to do with that. yeah. so, you know, i think what trump is trying to do is okay under the bottom resumes mistakes. huge crimes were committed mistakes or made money laundering happen. now we've got to entangle this and try to build trust again with russia. yeah. and it happens. the mean time it is you as a power of a shots look like a deer in headlights these days? leaders gather and powers for an emergency meeting to figure out how to react to washington, kicking them out of the discussions to resolve the ukraine conflict. and essentially what turned out to be a fairly typical champagne lunch. she came to an end with 0 results, but as they were enjoying that lunch that hung gary and for a minute that came out and slammed the european leaders for essentially trying to

prolong the will that there are those gathering and parents who have been constantly point oil into the fire in the last 3 years, then a follow to failed strategy in the past 3 decades. the 40 countries that have continuously post the threat escalating the war with their policies. today in paris on we're seeing a gathering of pro war little anti trump. i'm a frustrated european leaders who want to stop in agreement from happening on peace and ukraine money. in contrast that we're supporting donald trump's efforts and the us russia talks, which for european leaders seem to be at loggerheads at reason of what to do next. and the way feature not being able to come up with any concrete plans, despite the fact they met at that emergency meeting. he in paris, it was an old european lead is no, it was just the select fee. and he does have countries like colon from germany and

also the u. k. being invited to loan to that. now the phase prime minister kids, selma, putting together plans to send peacekeeping troops to ukraine. that didn't go down well with everyone. but here's what style mode would like to do. your must play its role. and per pet consider committing british forces on the ground along side of those. if there is a last thing piece of agreement. but the must be a us box stop. because i us security guards a, this is the only way to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good but case selma saying with god bless you rip, always he's going to need the us as a box stop. well too many cooks for the broth, that's what we heard from the us special and boy chief calla guntee. he might be

white because they couldn't come up with a plan that they could all agree on. we have the usual folks like president backorder holding not meeting saying you need to spend more money on defense stuff . also what we heard from this level and delay in the european commission president saying peace through strength. what she means is we need to keep building weapons and buying the weapons. and that, of course, is music to the ease of defense contract is a gym and he's law just defends contract to saying actually this is the entire reason why your opinion does. haven't been invited to that summit, the big boys summit and read between russia and the us. and that's because they have and funded that defense for decades. now, if you don't invest, if you're not strong, they handle you like kids. if parents have dinner, the kids have to sit at another table. the us is negotiating with russia and no

european is at the table. it has become very clear that the europeans, all the kids problems for minnesota all. so it, they thing that at some point you will have to send it from steve crane at possibly also being requested by the united states to do that. he was like, well, that's something we will need to acquiesce to. nature's chief saying europe is willing to step up to the plate, but again, new details and lots. the points. new details will agree told in not meeting in paris inside was need a story that this is the gym and chancellor. all of schultz who said it is not the time to be discussing the future. if you claim with that ukraine, this is fairly screwed on. it is completely premature and completely the wrong time

to have this discussion now and finish. i'm even a little irritated by these debates. if i have to say, people are talking here about possible variance of outcomes over the heads of ukraine is about the outcome of peace talks that have not taken place. and with which ukraine has not said yes, it does not sound at the table. this is highly inappropriate to put it bluntly and honestly, we don't even know what the outcome will be. well, the meeting in paris was just a sideline. and so i go into what we don't know because there was some agreement made. and it seems that you will be in need is, are flaming round, almost like headless chickens. after the announcements that we've been seeing coming up from the white tests. and you can imagine mostly this will be have left paris. i'm wondering what is going to be the outcome of the tools at the big boy table. i'm not taking place later today in the at yeah, i was discussing the prospect's off the top. so with the full officer and for a minute the current can i so what you're telling me earlier in the program, and now she says that must go into washington. x city entering

a new phase of diplomacy, as she says, leaving europeans on the sidelines. you leaders to deal with their own domestic issues of the fund. a bunch of the issue i would say is symmetry. we have a symmetric relation between 2 big powers. that's the rest of the race on one side . so united states on the other, we have a new administration of them that has the difficult american attitudes of clean slate. let's make it fresh start. this is not all war that's history. and we want to enter into a new relation and that's simply no symmetry between the us and europe, or between the russia and to europeans. thera you 27 who to talk to a full represents what a and it's much easier to go back to classical, find actual diplomacy to sit at the table to set the agenda and to get things done about the what is the fundamental insights dynamic of negotiations is of course,

before everything starts it's about to attend what the item would be on the agenda . and this is an, a sarah that is only handled by most going to washington. but there's nobody from the commission that is not original brother in involved pop from the fact that there anyway busy with the own domestic chaos. so i think that the, the ultimate role of your parts, this will be really only in handling that migration issue watching happened to the millions of ukrainians might stay in durham and the poland. what can happen to the black market or can we, i think this is of an issue. the europeans are not even thinking about and a lot of other problems they themselves would have to handle with there. a way for states was there a security policy, but on an on, on,

on the logic picture for europe, there is no place. well, that's a peace officer. and if i can re, i'd be creating your content goes carry on for now, because when i signed a key of carried out an attack on one of russia's largest oil pumping stations, causing serious damage processing f, saying it will take over a month to repair the facility, but russia is deputy security council chairman to highlighted this latest drone and attack a, the heated infrastructure that well, it's all partially owned by various american and european corporations of the company, a task that operate and the facility released the following statement in the grip up can sky oil pumping station located in the cool cuz this region of coupon is the largest c p. c. oil pumping station in the russian federation. or shareholders of the international consortium, including representatives of companies from the us and europe. that'd be notified about the terrorist attack on the civilian facility by u. a. b's. this is a yet another terrorist attack. let's call it what it is which was executed by the

key of regime in the early hours of monday. but so this time for then skis, militants have actually targeted american and european interest trends. and let me tell you why. first of all, the ukranian drones are filled with the metal projectiles and explosive attacks. the facility which pumps mainly oil from american and european companies fruit cause i started the crowd, boston scott, oil refinery is the most important hub for the transportation of oil for the caspian pipeline consortium. also known the cdc, it's located approximately 230 kilometers away from the ford of never cease for which russian oil is pumped. so an accidental attack is absolutely out of the questionnaire because it's really far from any other fuel and energy facilities. now, as for the shareholders of the caspian pipeline consortium, well, they include international companies, the, where the us ownership amounts to 2400 and quarter percent says

$62400000.00 tons of oil or pump for the cdc. in 202411.7 percent of which came from russia and 88.3 percent from cars like starting now. zalinski is a behavior is well, really unpredictable at this point, especially the following. the events had been unix, security conference, most or in washington are about to begin their talks on the settlements of the crate in conflict. was the lensky is c, the little left on the sidelines at the moment? she lives to be a loose cannon. if you will, mind you. even before donald trump took over the oval office, the united states had asked the lensky to limit his tribes. those too not to drive off port royal prices. well, trump said that's the oil would play as a leverage on russia. if it did not sit down and then negotiating tables and ask you seems to have done just the opposite. in this case,

he drove up oil prices and damage the american interest as well. now despise it. as is a self destructive, ashton's. he continues to enjoy support from the european union. but the most of the officials there seems to be blown boy into the fact that the reactions of the key originally bar actually hurts the europeans themselves. after all, the latest, the facts does indeed hurt european interest as well. oh no immediate turns the directory ashton from polanski is european fans at this point in time. but we should hardly be expecting of any reaction any time soon because for the e. u officials, they're darling, can do absolutely anything, as long as it hurts, flush off, or a time for a brief pause. they were knocking international, but all teams and re add are all on the go. it's right now 1 26 pm in the saudi capital. we understand the russian and american delegation talking peace and

ukraine. among other issues we understand right now they're taking a very small break before returning to the adults and my colleagues to ask you, taylor is here soon enough to walk you through it all. but for the meantime from all of us here, thanks for joining us. the blow my name is joe, i'm a traditional catholic, father of 6 children. i'm from dallas, texas originally. all right, my girls. what are you doing? by that time, many things had changed since cove it in america, and she talked about the eligibility propaganda and all that sort of thing. we think that we would like to move and live somewhere else to raise our children. 2023. my wife and i and my 6 children, we moved to restaurant, really actually seen all these movies of russia being this dark, very place and crash and everybody starving. these are fish eggs. mm hm. yeah. yeah

. okay. so that's called the current and the russians loved pizza was what it's like living in russia with a big family. the good and the bad. the pros and cons expectations. reading reality show not do that, but i can't do that. i see the the, the rabbit collapse of the ottoman empire gave the arabs hope for independence. but the colonial power. so their future differently. great britain and france agreed on the seizure of the arab lands under the guise of the so called mandate of the

league of nations. this bible play caused a particular indignation in a rack, which was to get under the control of the british. in may 1921 rest with claim for independence broke out, both assuming and that she took part in it. soon the rallies turned into a real uprising against the invaders. more than 130000 people took up arms. britons urgently began to transfer reinforcements to a rack and used aircraft where it is war. secretary winston churchill birds. the use of chemical weapons against the rebels and general ser i on their hel dane border, the destruction of any village where weapons were found. burning a village properly takes a long time, an hour or more according to the size all day and recalled cynically. in his memoirs, the medieval girl, the paid off, the revolt was crush. however,

separate his empire had to make serious concessions. in 1921, it recognized the solve the 1st as the king of a rag 10 gave part of the power to representatives of the local population. v. a racket revolt marked the beginning of the national consolidation of the country and became an important milestone on the way to final independence. the on august the 31st 1977. the bonus generalist office has a directive stating that they felt about to go on. this policy is the destruction of russian news. so young to what options, bob? yeah, the sport. notice not the invoice gets kaminsky website comes from doing such as to

go to the ball park jet events on most of the photographic apps and stuff. you don't know if it doesn't actually have part escape. i mean, she's still it's now the only thing i'll do is just double check. she started sna e mama, that's in union, fucked them she's spanish name. but there are other facts about which the waste remained silent. the model itself for the children act was already signed, and most of the leading dealer pm fell as websites that deals with the 1933 germany fronts. the u. k. ended a lease sign the form halifax. the 1954 poland and gemini signed the bill suitcase original pack. 1935 the u. k and gemini, signing the include german nasal agreement. 1938 the okay from

san.
