and the europeans who wants to accomplish to continue to do everything they can to prevent the headlines here at all to you. it's a national what a difference a day makes us on vacation, leading saudi arabia of the 1st high level told, with russia it is paving the way to rebuild by that they're all tied with knowledge side set or ending the conflict. can you print the diplomacy ultimately? it's based on actions based on commitments that are kept. the conversation was very useful. we not only listen but also heard each other. and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position. but today i heard, oh, we weren't invited. will you been there for 3 years? you should have ended in 3 years. you should have never started it. you could have made a deal at the age you was the licensee, sidelined during the adults and saudi arabia, president trump, highlights the block has years to solve the prices. so now russel needs to get

point. it's more important for them than it is for us. we have an ocean in between, and they don't fit brand naples showcasing from around the world. and we're on site as massive naval drills kickoff and indonesia with 48 nations including russia, their own type, the targets that correspondents are waiting in the wings to join us live during this program from moscow. it's a really good to have your company by the way, top story for you this hour here or not to the american delegation, leaving the saudi arabian capital of re add officer. historic talks with russia on tuesday. you know the negotiations last it more than 4 hours of us, the secretary of state, marco ruby are right, the heading back to washington following the tulips with moscow. i both russia and

america praise the negotiations, saying the cost is set for normalization of relations and a possible settlement of accomplishing ukraine, which donald trump felt should never have started in the 1st place. and i think i have the power to end this war. and i think it's going very well, but today i heard, oh well, we weren't invited. well, you've been there for 3 years. you should have ended it 3 years. you should have never started it. you could have made a deal. well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections and ukraine. well, we have martial law essentially marshall lower and ukraine. where the leader in ukraine. i mean, i hate to say it, but he's down at 4 percent approval rating. and yeah, i would say that, you know, when they want to see that today, but you can say that people have to, when the people of ukraine have to say, like, you know, it's been a long time since we've had an election. that's not a russia thing, that's something coming from me and coming from many other countries, also pop off hogwash, senior political correspondent, areas. right. the yeah,

go to fiscal, standing by in saudi arabia, following these historic told to just about the 9 am where you are right now. go to, wow, what a difference a single day makes. it was incredible to watch what was happening 24 hours ago. bring us some of the highlights if you went of the quite an important meeting for the relationship between russia in the united states. you've just heard the, the 1st comments coming from president donald trump, following these talk say, here in saudi arabia of the 1st high level official meeting between the 2 countries in many years. i think it's fair to say that russia in the united states were able to make the 1st firm step towards normalizing their relationship. they've managed to cover quite a lot of issues from bilateral ties to the conflict in ukraine. they said that they wants to move forward. they've agreed to start working on normalizing the work of their diplomatic missions, which according to rushes for

a minute to start your lab or off, was hampered for a long time by the previous us administration. however, i've also said that perhaps one of the most important things that the 2 sides managed to achieve here in saudi arabia is that russia in the united states finally began listening to one another. to go to do at the beginning of our conversation to see marco rubio particularly emphasized the fundamental importance of each country being guided by his national interest in international relations. and then we fully agreed with this with the temple these national interest of course, will not always coincide, understood, but when they do not coincide with me, it is very important to regulate these discrepancies. it's not to let them slide the need especially not to provoke a military who would or any other kind of confrontation will script you from the so much. so the conversation was very useful on thought. so we not only listened but also heard each other who, you know, and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position now the deal with so these words were echo,

did by us secretary of state, marco rubio was said that this meeting was about dialogue. it wasn't much about a monologue, and that in order for any diplomatic solution to be successful, concessions have to be made by all sides. i think diplomacy ultimately is based on the actions based on commitments that are kept. so i think they came away today convinced that they are willing to begin to engage in a serious process to determine how and how quickly and to what mechanism can be brought to this war. whether we can ultimately reach that outcome. well, obviously depend on every site in this conflicts. willingness to, to agree to certain things. so i think it's important to have this meeting because we haven't really had much engagement with the russians for almost 3 years. and it's, that's the table for future conversations. how that turns out will be up to the parties and their willingness not just to make commitments but the live by them. uh, that will be tested in the weeks to come, you know,

engagements for nearly 3 years. that statement just makes a message, doesn't it? then let's throw it back to russia, score administer, who said that moscow was also able to achieve. another important thing is that they finally conveyed their concerns and their general stand. so, for russia, on any possible deployment of foreign peacekeeping contingents in ukraine see a month, the topic of the potential deployment of some kind of armed forces for peacekeeping contingency, allegedly, after the conflict has already been resolved or an agreement has been reached, is of interest to the americans of depending on which countries are prepared to provide the question is being addressed to the members of the european union. we explained during our talks today that we have noted very well that president trump, in several of his speeches, was the 1st western leader to say clearly that pulling ukraine into nato was one of the main reasons for what is happening. that this is one of the biggest mistakes of joe biden in his administration, and that if a trump for president at that time,

he would not have allowed it to happen. so in this regard, we explained to our colleagues today, the president, putin has repeatedly emphasized that the expansion of nato, the absorption of ukraine by the north atlantic alliance is a direct threat to the interest of the russian federation, a direct threat to our sovereignty. so we have explained today that the appearance of armed forces from the same nato countries, but under a foreign flag, under the flag of the european union, or under whose national flags does not change anything in this regard. this is, of course, unacceptable to us. now regarding the conflict in ukraine, both sides have agreed to start working on creating top level teams, which will then work together to look and find a long lasting diplomatic solution to the conflicts which will suit all sides. and i think it's pretty clear that both must go and watch it. there aren't completely on the same page when it comes to understanding that that solution has to be final . they're not talking about any temporary measures or freezing the conflict. the.

there's some to some underlying principle. ringback this needs to be a permanent, into the war and not a temporary and as we've seen in the past, we know just the practical reality is that there is going to be some discussion of territory. and there's going to be a discussion of security guarantees. those are just yet fundamental basics uh that will, that will undergird and underlie any type of discussion. so once again, quite an important event for the relationship between moscow and washington, which many thought was already on the verge of collapse. now the 1st steps are being made towards normalization. uh, the 2 sides that they are to say that they want to continue increasing the contacts boasting and the relationship even up to the point of the meeting between the presidents of rush and the united states, which donald trump said once again,

just now in washington is possible to happen, even in february, 12th things certainly seem to be moving so quickly. yeah. but if it's cut off as our senior political correspondent, thank you. now during these children, we are both russian and american officials agreed to work together to remove obstacles for trade in various issues of partnership. the beloved shows the there was great interest in removing artificial barriers to the development of mutually beneficial economic cooperation. during the discussion of economic aspects of our meeting today, the head of the russian direct investment fund was present and also presented some problems that could be resolved quite quickly to the benefit of russia in the united states. beginning to engage in identifying the extraordinary opportunities that exist, should this conflict come to a acceptable and the credible opportunities that exist to partner with the russians geopolitically on issues of common interest. and frankly, economically on issues that hopefully will be good for the world and will also

improve our relations in the long term between these 2 important countries. i think that's essential in order for the 3rd piece to even be possible, which is our ability to work together on other geo political matters of common interest. and of course, some pretty unique potentially historic economic partnerships as well. the key that unlocks the door for those opportunities, however, is the end to this concept as well as i think this conversation further not without ease. uh, chris ends not joining us here on. uh, i see. i'm hoping it's not a base on switch. move up, but it not. the piracy seemed to be a utah and from washington, i'm gonna, i would never seen this coming from the bite and white house, but with trump now it seems perhaps an awful lot. it's on the table. yeah, it looks, it looks interesting, just say the least for a, i mean, i'm not sure whether we can say it's a surprise. i mean, we know about the people that surround trump. we are ref k junior, for example, his opinion on ukraine for quite a while. it's very clear, vice president j d volumes has been very clear as to how he felt about the situation. the, i wouldn't say it's, it's an entire shock to the world. but like you said,

let's see. let's dig into the details and see exactly what was said. i think what one of the key things to what to point out was of the presidential envoy, unity or shock off with the, with the foreign minister. so get alive for off and re out those that know they know the unity will shock off as an old friend of lot of my opinions and he came to react essentially what this enormous list of economic initiatives that talk about some of the possible implications say something about talking about swift, others about the rubel. when any time you ever read, as you said, it's very interesting that the shock of himself attended that meets especially these early stages negotiations. we have to bear in mind that the us and russia haven't really spoken properly in 3 years. so you brought up swift. mean, i think his job was this kind of outlined. let's look at the russian economy. now. we live here, we must go. the economy is almost entirely been recalibrate to just face rushes friends left, the house lays friends. russia has obligations to these friends and assign treaties and all sorts of things that we know from such a lot of how much he respects international law and international treaties that

rest assigns. so yeah, i don't know whether we're going to see an, a huge embrace even if the americans allow it every for us and buying guns and we fight to swift. yeah, i think that the whole thing about switch where we have a new you covered at x in the, in cars on that. there's so many limitations and issues. the main one is switched is supposedly a non profit organization posted in belgium. the us is very easy, easy, it's very easy for the us to obtain information from the switch system using basically tangling cool toward it. and it's really not good for a lot of i think a lot of countries do realize that it's not good for that strategic interests, especially when it comes to you know, results is of national importance. the global tried using this with system. so i think, yes, it's a good step in the right direction, but let's wait and see exactly how it plays out, the rest of the apps to it. and it satellites within breaks a little bit of cautious, optimism, well prescribed. thank you. talk to let you know, we look at these, that previous really aggressive, fancy russia policies a dictated from america. and yet, during this time in russia, we was big,

fast becoming the most sanctioned country in the world. america was still buying russian fertilizers, russian metals are russia, uranium to fuel the nuclear power plants in america? um, is there any chance, i mean, let's just say it'll goes, rosie, is there any charles to trade between moscow and then on washington could actually reach pre 2021 levels again or that's it's difficult for us to say right now, but i would say probably not because again, as i, as i said, precinct russia has of the friends and ross who's doing a huge amount of trade. most of the rest of the equipment hasn't really been initially. that was a bit of a hit, but it's, it's money to recalibrate those relationship. india is one of the largest buys of russian orland gas, china who is buying up in smaller the everything that ross that can produce. so as china does across the world. so really i, i think the conversation coming to the negotiating table now for russia, ross who is in my do a very good position. yeah. it's about to isn't, doesn't need to sign a treaty, but the us today and everything's going to be rising ross, resolve this issues it's, it's fixed, it's, i'm back yacht,

it's not really up to the us to see how they can fit back into that picture. so i say for us, who wants to be that friend again? yeah, exactly, very, very well said is, as we will, you know, want us to, by not all of these weapons sanctions against russian. not only do they boomerang back to the guys you wish you had them, but the russian economy has stabilized. it's improved is internalized. it's become multi poder, as well as running into the middle east into asia. meantime, i'm glad you mentioned china. i mean, trying to, the factory of the world will buy cheap russian energy. meantime, he receives that lensky and ukraine, essentially try to pulling off or piece mailed off. these are rare off minerals and ukraine, for example. these say he's saying that um is that it's the one step off of the us . these rare rough minerals as compensation for the support is already being given . trump is like, yeah, everyone a lot of that kind of good stuff. it does remind me a little bit of iraq, afghanistan, syria, you know, they always end up going for the natural result. yeah. well really, i, i read it very interesting. specific. i would even go back further to the treaty of this style. the best of both these level of resources is more then then then was

get been germany, have to give them reparations to the western powers. off to the treaty of a site, you know, the old like george, he was the prime minister of the united kingdom. squeezed into the pip, squeak that's not what it sounds like. and if it goes from one instead of his being given to him, but i think the loan lost the invitations of doing that to the country. we. what we saw happened often assessed by board didn't have the, i don't know whether it's sustainable and i mean, i don't know whether the housing ukrainians can have this this. let's call them what is the dictates of this on the like to just give away what does that result as in reparations for money despite that they've been sold it anyways. so off of the money kind of council, the president president trump told us that, right, that that's what he told him. yeah. that lining him up all and they, they finding him up, they're gonna say, look, even federal, this money. you're an illegitimate. later you've got to have elections, you've got to go, you can see, and anybody can get chris. i've got no time, but i go to ask you quickly and we can all mix in your blogs, just quickly tell me gold prices every day. it's almost like a new record every single day is that something goes on, people are talking about trump might try to re values or put the dollar back on the

adult status because 30 seconds. that's really interesting. or i know you're, you've been the one that's the giving me the best gold tips of my life. i got a reduced video and so now i think it's interesting. let's see what happens to us. still, it does need a vast reset because it's basically what just pay for it. it's been printed by the fed. let's see what happens and now, but let's see what happens. yeah, well, you have a great answer. yep. and it's always such a pleasure to get you on here. give me the chance to pick your brain all. she contributed chris adams. thank you. thanks a lot. it was something that most clearly a breaking the ice of news houses being welcomed around the world. among the many that chimed in china and nigeria, hopeful that a peaceful resolution is inside for you. well, my lord. yeah, we are glad to see all efforts that are conducive to peace, including the agreement on holding talks between the us and russia. china hopes that all relevant parties will play a constructive role and accumulating conditions for promoting a political solution and realizing piece. it's a welcoming development. it's always good to see to leaders,

leaders of global powers meeting and talking because it provides the opportunity to resolve conflict and these tensions. this is something that i'm sure, every well meaning citizen of the planet would welcome. and as a world watched on, you probably know well by now that europe's leadership went into full panic mode, because, much to it's hora, it suddenly found itself uninvited to the torch and re out. and donald trump to reassure them. however, the but you, you will play a financial role in ukraine's future. i believe the president zalinski said last week that he doesn't know what half of the money is that we gave him. well, we gave them, i believe, $350000000000.00. but let's say is something less than that, but it's a, it's a lot. and we have to equalize with europe because europe is giving us a, given a very much smaller percentage of that. i think europe has given a 100000000. and we've given, let's say $300.00 plus and it's more important for them than it is for us. we have

an ocean in between. and they don't. and while, but you, you need to ship scramble to try and stay relevant and even convenient, emergency meeting and powers. they're all mixed messages are coming in from various parts of europe, salma, backing from sentiment. others are looking to fill the american void. let us learn a little bit more shelby and shed some light football contributor rachel mazda, the queen ursula proudly declares that europe has contributed more to the big kids table. oops, uh, yeah. the negotiating table then, uh, anyone else? sure. with the money they conveniently reallocated from frozen russian assets to real free market fairytale stealing russia's wallet, buying a gift with their cash, and then acting like a selfless philanthropist. now she says the you wants to partner with trump for a quote, just and lasting peace in ukraine spray because nothing says serious diplomatic effort like freaking out every time from mentions piece talks. and then when he sidelines, you rushing over like an ex who suddenly wants to work things out,

or bond for one isn't buying it. he says, you're a private shot and missed it. and now that real negotiations are happening between russia and the us, the was playing catch up like a kid, grabbing the hand rail at the top of an escalator and pretending that they're the one pulling everyone up. hearing the russian and us for a ministers were meeting and saudi arabia without them be leaders scrambled to hold their own summit on february 17th, even if it was without ukraine. ironically, this is exactly what they've been losing their minds over trump and russia doing even funnier. most of the you wasn't even at the use summit, either just 6 you leaders to brussels bureaucrats and nato secretary general mark, right. because, well, nothing screams piece like having the spokesman for the western arms industry at the table. meanwhile, the baltics in north x apparently had to wait for poland and denmark to send them notes afterwards. like kids who skipped class sounds like

a big moment for you. unity there and speaking of denmark, they sat there talking about weapons for ukraine, like it's at the top of their priority list while trump keeps making noises. but wind to scoop up bring land, which is there's like it's prime real estate. this whole meeting with friends present a manual, my calls idea, he's still push king security guarantees for you frame. but at this point you leaders are basically non playable characters and p c's and a video game like those. poke them on shopkeepers and just keep repeating the same 3 lines of dialogue. no matter how many times you walk in the store. and some of these european leaves are even starting to sound really annoyed with these echo chamber meetings. this is for least for food and it is completely premature. i'm completely the wrong time to have this discussion. now, i'm even a little irritated by these debates. i have to say people are talking here about possible variance of outcomes over the heads of ukraine, about the outcome of peace talks that have not taken place. and with which ukraine

has not said yes. and there's no sense of the table that moved. we're living in the context of the 1930s with icebergs appearing in front of us and the parents meeting at the eliza palace did nothing to keep them away. and despite all the grandstanding, they couldn't even agree on whether to send europe and troops to crane as peacekeepers. yeah, already. brilliant strategy. they're considering nato troops. and you freight are exactly what health kick off this whole mass in the 1st place. but hey, don't worry. britain's prime minister and arm chair general care storm or is psyched about the idea, but only if uncle sam agrees to go with him and hold his hand like it's a roller coaster, and he's too short to ride on per pet. consider committing british forces on the ground along side of those. if there is a last in peace agreement, but the must be a us bucks stop. because i us security guards. it is the only way

to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good while i will go to washington next week to meet president trump, to discuss what we see is the key elements of a law student piece. oh you well, well you can just waltz into trumps office and start chatting about getting us troops to babysit british ones. and you brain this from notice yet, or does he think you're just dropping by with big macs and di totes so i don't know . it was his request of mine, but you know, i met him twice already. we get a little very, was very nice guy. meanwhile, zalinski ever desperate to be the center of attention is throwing out doomsday predictions. like a fortune teller out of state fair, we know for sure that he is preparing that from the territory of bella roost this year. it can happen in summer, maybe in the beginning, maybe in the end of summer, i do not know when he prepares it, but it will happen. and at that moment, knowing that he did not succeed in occupying us, we do not know where he will go. there are risks that this can be poland and

lithuania because we believe that putin will wage war against nato. hey, maybe this summer, maybe next century. maybe when the next ice age hit, who really knows? but something is definitely happening eventually he tells us, oh, and he also says, poland and lithuania are next on rushes. hit list, pull it is taking this prediction very, very seriously so seriously. in fact that they've ruled out sending troops to craig and with wayne. yeah, apparently they're such a high priority target that the you didn't even bother invited them to beating. so the summit up to you is desperately trying to squeeze into a high stakes global chest notch. they weren't invited to. so is he is throwing out apocalyptic warnings like a tabloid psychic, and terrorists. armor is planning a very important meeting in washington. assuming trunk doesn't think he's just there to drop off a drive through order a lawyer, we had a chance to discuss the latest developments with someone who, despite not being a politician, that has been working hard for us to try and bring peace between russia and the

west of pink floyd co founder and peace activist wrote jo board is hoping a ceasefire is now on the call. the fact that mr. trump and mr. pigeon had spoken together on the telephone a couple of days ago, which encouraging, and that it was definitely a move in the right direction. it sounds as if the folks in saudi arabia, which went on for 4 and a half hours, have gone very well. and from listening to the tone of voice of the people describing what happened. it sounds as if it is a move in the right direction and i'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed. that will be a resolution. the budget administration was just continuing the basic american policies since the beginning of the nineties and, and their resistance to the idea that the russian federation needed sets and

conditions of security for, for itself and for the rest of these to mirror. so nothing treat now while it has changed bites and was not talking to purchase, trump is talking to page and that is a huge step in the right direction. since the 2nd well by the west we've main, the us, i'm par because let us be honest, we are pinched all the european states. simple, basically become vessel states attached to some of the site print strings. but mamma is the united states of america. and we do is we had told a, we've seen the protege of the whole of europe. so there is no united to your opinion, but with basically drawn this has told europe in no uncertain terms that he's not interested in any of them have to say tco is interested in paying for nato. a new

the and most of nights is on. so the more so there it says there is a, there's a new um, just a portion of it is the parent. oh i or if you like a but it's not, it's not power. no, there's a new b, a in europe that they're about to be dropped by the united states of america and left to their own devices. how they didn't notice this when the united states flew up the note street pipelines supplying cheap russian gas to germany. and they said nothing about it and still happens as far as i can tell. no whisper complaint, even from the german government. the ways always just been tell family bugs the west to them. pods, a shot is miles and depend, go on, pull her and kind of photo to the front line, which is what he has done. these just don't exactly as he's been. so my suspicion

is that he's been busy. uh, you know, looking at flight schedules cuz he is gonna do a run a is just a question of when in my view he's what is the landscape i think we cannot accept is completely irrelevant. he has, it is not being consulted by the americans, and he is not being consulted by the russians. and it's so they are the ones having the conversation in saudi arabia that is 7.7 almost as the landscape inevitably age has become. my suggestion to him would be me, don't even think about interfering because they don't want it. but then if they were interested in, well, he had to say, he believed he would be that i could be wrong. okay. i may be completely wrong and doing him a great disservice. it may be that he's an important voice, but he never is always seemed like a time, a cloud based doing as each tells. and that's what i suspect for years. but

a lot of man, if i'm wrong, i apologize too. i don't make what made mean to my ad hominem attacks, but to an outside my. that's what it looks like. over to indonesia and now here on the program with naval drill is going by the name of commode underway, of the coast of bali, organized by the engine. easier and navy exercises are aimed at strengthening maritime peace and stability with over 3 dozen nations, all taking pond very much in line with a multi polar world open alcohol correspondent it rebecca enough to put a bear with the once every 2 years elisha gathers together naval forces from a variety of nations for the large scale exercise, camacho, a total of $38.00 countries, including indonesia, have sent their naval forces to participate with 19 war ships, 7 helicopters, and 3 maritime patrol aircraft taking part in this year's exercise. the program is designed to increase readiness for natural and man made disasters while enhancing

cooperation among nations in dealing with assessor management and humanitarian assistance. and the many disadvantages to improve by lateral, regional and multi lateral cooperation in all countries. and so that they can join in addressing natural disasters, deal with an mitigate them, help countries and difficulties, especially with problems of natural disasters or other humanitarian issues. then there is also social assistance that needs to be implemented. there is the engineering civic action program, which is a social service that includes road repairs, school improvements and places of worship, which the navy presently carries out among participating forces. a detachment from the russian navy has a rifle to pass to fix lead corvettes. this is not their 1st visit to naisha. they took part in the 1st, every joint exercise between indonesia and russia in pseudo by a last november,

the friendship between the 2 countries, etc. has a long lasting legacy is stored in the middle of it is necessary to note here too that this cooperation did not arise today and or even yesterday. so the soviet union, in the 19 sixty's, essentially created the indonesian navy during presidency condos, leadership of the country. and within the we created a navy, a fairly full fledged navy for them, including the submarine fleet. this was in the late 19 sixty's, our navy transcode 12 about diesel powered project, 613 submarines to indonesia. i shut the door now i want to board, but tie it in as the one we've got a hospital ship together with delegations from all participant countries. as the fleet is ready for one of the highlights of the event, the international we review. this brand naval parade showcases the strength of maritime courses from around the world. but behind this impressive.
