the, the the, in the headlines you're not seeing the national water difference a single day makes us delegation, leading saudi arabia off the 1st high level pulse with rush right in years, ultimately paving the way to rebuild by natural ties with side set on ending the conflict a new crank, diplomacy ultimately is 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 today or, or 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. i think it as your grade was a basically sideline during the 12 since out here. right. the president trump highlights it had used to resolve the conflict. the d. you needs to get home board

as it's in its own progressive insurance. it's more important for them than it is for us. we have an ocean in between. and they don't this brand me hold for a show faces trying from around the world and we're on site is massive naval drills kickoff. and in an easier with fidelity 8 nations including russia are taking the it is good morning and most go on this wednesday odyssey is live and worldwide will be on use as always, without legacy media narrative. so top story for you right now, here on this journal at the american delegation has left this out a raving capital of re out of the really what i have been historic told with russia on tuesday. the tools, in fact law, single, well over 4 hours. and the us, the secretary of state, there is mario rubio heading back to washington and following the tilt with russia and both the moscow and washington praise the negotiations. saying the cost is set

for a normalization of relations and a possible 2nd month to the conflict. a new crane which donald trump, by the way, fails, should never have started in the 1st months. and i think i have the power to end this war. and i think it's going very well. but today i heard, oh, we weren't invited, were you 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 in ukraine where 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 writing. and yeah, i would say that, you know, when they want to see that the table, you could 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. but it's not a russia thing that's something coming from me and coming from many other countries also over now as well. political correspondent, you go to physics on offers,

being monitoring and following all these historic tolts and saudi arabia. some of the updates now quite an important meeting for the relationship between russia and the united states. you've just heard the, the 1st comments coming from president donald trump, following these talk, say, here in saudi arabia. 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 rush us for a minute to so you'll have 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 deals at the beginning of our conversation to see the marco rubio particularly emphasized the fundamental importance of each country being guided by its national interest in international relations. and then we fully agreed with this with the temple these national interests of course, will not always coincide, understood, but when they do not coincide, that means it is very important to regulate. these discrepancies with it, so not to let them slide. nope, the especially not to provoke a military who we do or any other kind of confrontation. we'll schedule something so much. so the conversation was very useful on thought. so we not only listened but also heard each other because you know, and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position of the deal. and so these words were echo, did by us secretary of state, marco rubio was said that this meeting was about dialogue, and it wasn't about a monologue. and that the, 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 in and be brought to this war. whether we can ultimately reach that outcome. well, obviously depend on every side and it's complex willingness to, to agree to certain things. so, um, 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 to live by them. uh, that will be tested in the weeks to come. it's no engagement for nearly 3 years. that statement just makes a message, doesn't it ends, let's throw it back to rushes for administer was set at 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 for and peacekeeping contingency in ukraine, see him on 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, so depending on which countries are prepared to provide them, 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 is that this is one of the biggest mistakes of joe biden and 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. obviously, this is of course, an acceptable 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 wash, and 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. so there's some, the, some underlying principles 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 boosting and the relationship even up to the point of the meeting between the president of russia in the united states, which donald trump said once again, just now in washington. it's possible to happen even in february or during the torch and react both russian and american officials agree to work, to remove obstacles with trade and all sorts of other guest ranges of cooperation.

beloved by size 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 if 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 acceptable and the trouble 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 letter and the program officer discussing the economic issues with all to contribute to chris adams, who says russians, economy is not only survive, but it's outperforming even the worst west and full costs, and despite being the most sanctioned country in the world, and russia is now at the end of all of it, far less dependent on the west. a look at the russian economy. now we live him and most of the economy is almost entirely been recalibrate. it defies rushes friends throughout the house, lays friends. russia has obligations to these friends and assign treaties and all sorts of things that we know from such a lab or of how much he respects international law and international treaties that russia signs. so yeah, i don't know whether we're going to see an, a huge embrace even if the americans allow it, every russians on guns and we fight to swift. i think that the whole thing about, so for me, i mean you, you covered it, exanine cause that there's so many limitations and issues. the main one is switch is supposedly a non for profit organization. i sit in belgium, but the us is very easy,

easy. it's very easy for the us to obtain information from the switch system using basically time go to court audits. so it's really not good for a lot of i think a lot of companies are realizing it's not good for that strategic interest, especially when it comes to you know, results is of national importance. the global tried so using this with system. so really, i think the conversation coming to the negotiating table now for russia ross, it was in my view and very good position is about to isn't, doesn't need to sign a treaty with the us today and everything's going to be rising ross with solve this issues it's, it's fixed, its own backyard, it's not really up to the us, so i see how they can fit back into that picture and see for us it wants to be that friend again. exactly, very, very well said is as we've old and i want us to buy, not all of these weapon sanctions against russian. not only do they boomerang back to the guys who issue them for the rest of the economy has stabilized. it's improved, it's 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 china, the factory of the world, fueled by cheap russian energy. meantime, he,

we sees that landscape and ukraine essentially tried to pull one off or piecemeal. also, these are rare off minerals and ukraine for example. the say he's saying that and is that as he wants to offer the us these were recommended was as compensation for the support is already being given. trump is like, yeah, we want a lot of that kind of good stuff cuz it does remind me of little bit of iraq. afghanistan, syria, you know, they always end up going for the natural result. you have a really, i, i read and really interesting specific i would even go back further attended the treaty of this style, the best, but more base level of resources is more then then that was different in germany. how to give him reparations to the western powers. off the tree to besides you know, the old lloyd georgie was the prime minister of the united kingdom. squeeze until the pip squeak. that's what it sounds like. kind of cool. it's from one to said if it's been given to him, but i think we load it off the invitations of doing that. so the country we, what we saw happened often assessed by board didn't wait. i don't know whether it's sustainable. and i mean, and i don't know whether the housing ukrainians can have this, this,

let's call him what he is a dictate to this on the like to just give away a lot of that result as in reparations for money despite that they've been stolen anyways. saying off of the money kind of council, the president, president trump told us that of that, that's what he told him. kind of the world was watching these torch and re add. europe's leadership went into full panic mode because much to it's hora suddenly found itself uninvited. to the pokes and the saudi capital. i don't know. trump though. reassure them however, that the you will play a financial role then 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. and that i think europe has given a 100000000 and we've given, let's say 300 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 the leadership scrambled to basically trying to stay relevant and quickly could be in an emergency meeting and powers, they're basically, they're mixed messages coming in from your, with some backing from sentiment that others looking to feel the american void. well, let's get a 2nd twist. on this without contributor rachel most, 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 trump 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, scrambles 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 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 screens 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 greenland, 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 pcs and a video game like those poked them on shopkeepers. we 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 fairly screwed on. it is completely premature and 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 does not set up a table. moved. we are 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 grand standing, 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 mess 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 purchased forces on the ground, alongside off those. if there is a last in piece agreement. but the must be a us back stop. because i us security guards,

it is the only way to effectively deter russia from attack. can you create a good start 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 died coax, i don't know. it was his request of mind, but you know, i met him twice already. we get along 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 bela 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 lensky is throwing out apocalyptic warnings like a tabloid psychic. and chair, storm, or is planning a very important meeting in washington? assuming trunk doesn't think he's just there to drop off a drive through order to love it. we had a chance to discuss these latest developments with someone who, despite not being

a politician, certainly what card for years and trying to resolve some kind of conflict between russia and the west that's toothpaste. you know, i think, floyd, co founder and peace activist roger waters, he's hopeful that the sci fi with ukraine in between this whole prop symbol between america, nato and russia, is hopeful the sci fi is finally on the costs. the fact that mr. trump and mr. pitching 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. i'm 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 that will be a resolution. the budget administration was just continuing. the basic american

policies since the beginning of the ninety's and, and, and their resistance to the idea that the russian federation needed sets and conditions of security for, for it cell phone 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. a bowl 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 that a protege of the whole of europe, so there is no united europe anymore. basically,

trauma is, has told europe in no uncertain terms that he's not interested in. well, any of them have to say, he still is interested in paying for nato. a new bed and most of nights is on line . so the more so there it says there is a, there's a new parent. oh i or if you like, 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 blew up the north street pipelines supplying cheap russian guests 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 poor and can't afford to 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 with 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 spending. so they are the ones having the conversation in saudi arabia that is so important. so cool. mr. savanski inevitably, ace 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 glass top is doing as each tells. and that's why suspect 2 years beloved 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, now here on the program with naval drills going by the name of commode, 2025, or on the way off the coast of bali, organized by the engine, easier, navy. the exercises are aimed at strengthening maritime peace and stability. now, over 3 dozen nations are all taking part very much in line with a multi polar world correspond that is on c, rebecca and up at the pool as it from here. 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 bilateral, regional and multi lateral cooperation in all countries. so that they can join in addressing natural disasters, deal with an mitigate them, help countries and difficulties, especially with the 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 the participating forces. a detachment

from the russian navy has a rifle to pass a fixed lead corvettes. this is not their 1st visit to denisia. 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 storing it for the most major if 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 in 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, shut the door now i want to board, but kind of 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 worship plays a crucial mask. each cooperation at sea is key to global security. this exercise aligns with the nation's diplomatic mission to support its foreign policy. it underlines the navy's main task to enhance regional security and showcase its role as a key player, an international maritime piece efforts. the same sentiment is expressed by the russian navy. the exercise is not something new for the russian forces. it is being conducted for the importance of enhancing mutual understanding. i'm not sure that i'm really not sure. so all ships and all turn come together without partners will fine tune those search and rescue support tasks that should have peculiar to these ships. and that they practice during routine combat training activities. and the

only particularity would be that these activities will be practiced with partners from other nations who have slightly different techniques, slightly different approaches to doing so. it's an activities admit the existing security challenges and tensions of the 21st century. this partnership approach serves as a reminder of the responsibility that these nation share in ensuring maritime peace and stability. that'd be going to people reporting from bali for r t. is it an easier in january became the 1st to southeast asia nation to formerly joined breakfast along with the latest members, egypt, if you, iran, and the united arab emirates, but they're not alone, is january also so a new bricks, pock mistakes, joined a band of roofs bolivia, context on cuba malays, your thailand, new gun, the and it was back as dawn. all of this says donald trump says briggs is dead. questionable with us. it's us international.

the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. pictures designed to simplify all confused who really wants a better wills and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground? can the

good that's too low for those of you don't know me. my name is joe, i'm a traditional catholic, father of 6 children. all right, my girls. what are you doing? i'm from dallas, texas. originally, my wife, on the other hand, is australian darling, and we've been married for about 8 years now. well, i suppose it's time for me to come out and say, it's september of 2023. my wife and i and my 6 children, we moved to rush out in general for this channel. what i wanted to do was to give everybody kind of a, on the ground idea of what it's like living in russia with a big sample. these are fish, heck mm hm. yeah, yeah. okay. no, that's called eco, and the russians love he did in the bad. the pros and cons expectations.
