we had a similar sentiment from the french president, emmanuel macron. we also heard from ukraine's neighbour, the prime minister of poland, donald tusk, who simply said to ukraine, "you are not alone." it's been interesting seeing president zelensky individually thank each post in solidarity online. he even still thanked america for its support, as he continues to work towards what he calls a "just peace". a ceasefire deal, whether its related to a mineral agreement or otherwise, a ceasefire deal that contains a military assurance in some way from america. instead, today could have been the moment that america cut ukraine loose, leaving it with its european allies to try and work outjust how they will stand up to russian aggression in the future. tonight, sirens have gone once more. the sirens have wailed, as they do in cities across ukraine, and ukraine feels a slightly lonelier country tonight, after what we saw in the oval office. our russia editor steve rosenberg has the latest from moscow. well, so far, president putin hasn't said anything about wh

french president emmanuel macron, who has been key in this getting on monday. it seems to agree to invite zelenskyy to the white house to sign that rare earth deal for that ill fated meeting. macron, speaking to the figaro newspaper, suggested the possibility of a month long partial ceasefire that would really involve air, sea and stopping attacks on energy infrastructure. both sides have been hitting each other very hard across their energy grids over the past months, essentially a confidence building measure of sorts, one that macron suggested could potentially be easier to monitor than a widespread ceasefire across the front lines. and so we are beginning to get technical ideas floated now as to what a peace process might somehow look like. we are so far off from that, and i'm sure there will be many in ukraine worrying about hearing that idea and whether the russians will escalate their attacks on infrastructure as a result of it. so a lot moving as a result of this european meeting. clearly, a lot of work still needs to be done to mend the relationship bet

french president emmanuel macron and the president of the european parliament.eantime republican senator lindsey graham rushed to president trump's defense. graham called the meeting an utter disaster and said zelenskyy needs to change his stance or resign. >> his take was a teaching moment, interesting take on all of this. obviously the conversation will continue, devin. coming up at 6:30 on the cbs evening news, we'll dive deep into the fallout from the explosive meeting, what this could mean for the future of military aid to ukraine. >>> california's so-called daylighting law went into effect the first of the year, but some cities are scaling back or saying they cannot enforce it right now. in san francisco the sfmta pulled back its initial enforcement plan and that decision is leaving some people feeling vulnerable. >> reporter: living with a disability, michael smith spends a lot of time at home. when he gets out, he has to use public transit. getting there requires a walk which routinely reveals how vulnerable he is as a pedestrian. >> if i'm in the crossw

there was a high bar set earlier in the week by emmanuel macron, who had also corrected president trump when again, he said that the europeans were getting were were giving their money to ukraine as a loan. and he was corrected by macron. so in a way, starmer, who was having his first meeting with president trump as president in the white house, really had to measure up, you know, for diplomacy, for political standing, for all of those reasons. but that was and that's what we'll hear from here. it is a very important sign that the uk and europe are going to find ways to support zelenskyy and have to step up and fill some of the gap that it appears the united states may vacate and may potentially do it in a short space of time. >> all right, nic robertson, thank you so much. outside ten downing street. keep us posted on the meeting there. so before zelenskyy's meeting with trump at the white house yesterday, before it turned acrimonious between these leaders, a bipartisan group of senators right there, meeting with the ukrainian president, all smiles and handshakes there. senators from b

and this is what president emmanuel macron said after that drama, pointing out that this was not started ukraine. >> we all know the situation. there is an aggressor and that is russia. there are people attacked who are from ukraine. we were all right to help ukraine and sanction russia three years ago, and to continue to do so. and when i say we, i'm talking about the united states of america, the europeans, the canadians, the japanese and many others. and that's it. therefore, we must thank everyone who has helped, and we must help those who from the beginning have been fighting because they fight for their dignity, for their independence, for their children, and for the security of europe. these are important things that we must remember in these moments. >> that is the sentiment across the region. the leaders of the european union commission, council and parliament sent out a joint statement telling president zelenskyy he is not alone. they said that your dignity honors the bravery of the ukrainian people. be brave, be strong, be fearless. kim. >> looking forward now, there's a meeti

we had president of france emmanuel macron in on monday. great meeting. we had prime minister keir starmer on thursday. fantastic meeting. they were all on board the ark of the peace agreement. all president zelenskyy had to do was come in and sign this economic agreement and again, show no daylight, no daylight between ukrainian people and the american people. and he chose to blow that up. >> so the deal is no longer on the table. >> just to. >> be abundantly. >> clear, not at present. >> so, dimitri, how does zelenskyy salvage this relationship? where do we go from here? >> well, i'm not sure it is salvageable, but i actually don't know that it needs to be salvaged for ukraine to continue in this fight. this is not very clear that donald trump is not interested in supporting ukraine, is not interested in giving aid to ukraine, is not interested providing security guarantees to ukraine. he has made that very clear over the course of the campaign. of course, even before he went into office, it's now perfectly clear, i think, to almost everyone that that i

friday, and i don't know what president zelenskyy was thinking, we had the president of france, emmanuel macronn on monday, great meeting, prime minister keir starmer on thursday. fantastic meeting. they were all onboard the arc of the peace agreement. all president zelenskyy had to do was come in and sign this economic agreement and again show no daylight -- no daylight -- between the ukrainian people and the american people and he chose to blow that up. >> so the deal is no longer on the table, to be abundantly clear? >> not at present. >> our social media producers tell us as of this morning, we've had more than 100 million views on posts related to the meeting across our cbs news social media platforms. there is no shortage of trump viral videos, but this one has spread around the world. >> mr. president, mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the liberal media. right now you're going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the presid

and french president emmanuel macron and british prime minister keir starmer also announcing today that they will now work on a draft ukraine-russia peace proposal. ukraine will certainly be a topic when, in just 48 hours, president trump will address a joint session of congress. but this is not being called a state of the union address, because it comes just weeks after being elected to a new term. mr. trump's speech is expected to outline his legislative priorities for the next four years. it's also expected he's going to highlight the work his administration has accomplished since taking office. you can watch president trump's joint address to congress right here on nbc bay area. we will carry it live at 6:00, then join us for a special edition of nbc bay area news at nine. also happening this week. on tuesday, san mateo county voters will decide the fate of measure a, which would allow the board of supervisors to remove embattled sheriff christina corpus. corpus has s been und fire for months after an independent audit found evidence of an abuse of power, retaliation and intimidatio

european leaders chimed in in support of zelenskyy after this exchange, like french president emmanuel macron, who emphasized that ukraine is the victim. the ukrainians we spoke with say they're encouraged to see that support and worried about what will come next from russia. i don't see how i it makes sense r the us to abandon ukraine. that could lead to some pretty catastrophic consequences if russia is not stopped. now the consequences could be very sad and unpredictable. alyssa goard, nbc bay area news. okay, let's switch gears for a moment. a live look out at san francisco. we are tracking rain coming in for the forecast this weekend. let's get straight to chief meteorologist jeff ranieri to tell us when it's going to get here and how much it's going to be. well, we do expect that rain to start getting here as we head through tomorrow's forecast. and this is going to be quite the turn after all that warm weather we had today. up as high as 80 in stanford, danville at 79, current storm ranger scan and the other radar showing a little bit of green. we're seeing some drizzle develop, but th

in the run-up to zelenskyy coming to do this deal you had a manual micro -- emmanuel macron here andstarmer trying to change donald trump's mind and make sure these alliances remain tight but this has got to have them feeling very concerned because whatever legwork was made blue up alongside ukraine's ambitions in that meeting yesterday. outwardly they are expressing their support for ukraine talking about how they will ramp up the military support for it. they have to be looking at this, and didn't know what to expect when he came in on foreign policy but i agree with dan, that's looking to be the case, pushed very hard by advisors around him like j. d. vance. paul: that the next ordinary role he played in that meeting, to see vice presidents intervene quickly, vance played a real role in trying to push the united states from europe and ukraine. how do you explain, what role is he playing here? >> j. d. vance sees a different republican party. he's been critical of neoconservatives, what he calls establishment republican view on foreign policy and is positioning himself as vice pres

starmer, along with emmanuel macron, the french president, along with zelenskyy, will work together to get this concerted european plan and then bring it to the white house. there's a level of insulation for president zelenskyy. he's not going it alone. going into the white house alone, getting into a fractious circumstance. there will be a carefully brought together plan so that that outlet of breath, if you will, is we're getting that articulated. and keir starmer gave a few more details about it. here's what he said. >> not every nation will feel able to contribute, but that can't mean that we sit back. instead, those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency. the uk is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others. europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong us backing. >> so we heard as well from the nato secretary general saying absolutely around that table it heard commitments from other nations, european nations and others about contributions for sec

and french president emmanuel macron told newspaper le figaro that france and the uk have proposed a month long limited ceasefire in ukraine. all this coming just days after zelenskyy's explosive meeting with u.s. president donald trump at the white house. the ukrainian president said his country is ready to sign a rare minerals deal with the u.s., a deal. zelenskyy had been expected to sign on friday, despite the tensions. the ukrainian leader called the u.s. a strategic partner and had this to say about the relationship. >> i think our relations with the u.s. will continue because this is more than relations during a certain moment, we must be open. ukraine is not the biggest country in the world, but everyone can see how it fights for its independence and freedom. i represent the interests of a country that heavily depends on support from partners. so of course, if i am invited for a constructive dialog for solving real problems, for serious questions and real resolute actions and answers, i will be there. out of respect for america, the american people, the president and the two

trump got a visit from french president emmanuel macron today, and ooh la la. [ laughter ] watch thistime these guys get together, they have a long and uncomfortable handshake. and they kind of won't let go of each other. they shake hands the way dogs get stuck together when they're mating. [ laughter ] macron was in washington on the third anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine to try to convince trump not to bend over all the way for his kgbff vlad putin. trump last week blamed ukraine for the war with russia. which is, i mean, these ukrainians invaded themselves! it's quite an argument. today, after last week calling zelensky a dictator, he refused to call putin a dictator when asked. i get the idea that when trump watches "lord of the rings," he's rooting for gollum. there is something off there. speaking of gollum, rudy giuliani -- [ laughter ] [ applause ] had a rough moment at a walmart this weekend. he was at a walmart in secaucus, new jersey, and he was spotted shopping for hair dye. there he is, checking out the new colors. you know, there's sad and there's "shopping fo

he has very cordial relations with france's emmanuel macron. but europe's position is so different now to that of the united states. and there is now a question mark, too, over zelenskyy himself. it's a personal acrimony, clearly here to some degree. and i think the sounds coming from trump circle about maybe him needing to step aside is something he's going to have to address very fast, or it's going to have to fade into the background or continue to linger as this relationship urgently needs fixing. >> all right, nick, thank you so much. betsy, to you, republicans, like we heard, rubio are very quick to fall in line behind trump and defend him. what else is being said? >> that's exactly right. we are hearing from trump's key allies really praise for the president, who campaigned on ending russia's war in ukraine and really would like to make a peace deal. he says he views himself as a peacemaker. of course, he started those talks with russian president vladimir putin last week, and then after that, he welcomed president zelenskyy into the ova

ended in downing street and in in central london today, we've heard from the french president, emmanuel macron, speaking to the figaro newspaper, he suggested one of the first key details that we've heard about this potential peace plan, which keir starmer, the u.k. prime minister, talked about gathering steam or beginning to have more details around it. he is suggesting a month long kind of limited ceasefire that would occur in the air, in the sea and to stop attacks against ukraine and russia's energy infrastructure, suggesting that's something that could be done, that could be monitored, that could be affected, that could be a confidence building measure. so i think we're slowly seeing some of the details that have emerged from this meeting being leaked, but also or being spoken of publicly and also zelenskyy for the first time, delivering his thoughts on the remarkable last 72 hours. >> very fascinating. all right. nick paton walsh, thank you. coming up, republican lawmakers get an earful from outraged voters at town halls. a sample of some of the anger that these lawmakers are facing back

this key meeting, which was meant to be about capitalizing upon the success of french president emmanuel macron and keir starmer, visits to washington to drag trump and his administration back into the european security orbit. odd that we even have to suggest that that was ever in doubt. it's been such a plank of european security for 80 years. and so tomorrow, i think there will be messages trying to suggest that europe feels it wants to back ukraine, regardless of the outcome of zelenskyy trying to fix his relationship with president trump. i have to say there are doubts within europe about what it can effectively do without the backstop, as they say. but really, the logistical and heft, logistical might and the heft of the united states. that's a key question here. and so it goes back to zelenskyy and his ability to reach back across the atlantic and try somehow to get the white house back on speaking terms, that the scenes in the oval office for so many ukrainians left them with existential dread, because without the united states, we are dealing with a front line that may collapse with a m

french president emmanuel macron calling russia an aggressor, writing, quote, we were right to help ukraine and sanction russia three years ago. but back in the u.s, there's a divide on how the oval office meet up was perceived. >> this really could have been and should have been a positive moment for ukraine. it was wholly unacceptable. >> i think what we're going to see is that trump sells out, gives putin everything he wants. >> russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman also weighed in on the clash. in a statement, she called it a complete diplomatic failure of kyiv. christina coleman, fox news. >> earlier today, on mornings on two, we spoke with usf international relations professor stephen zunes, who says president trump is increasingly aligning himself with russia and other far right leaders of europe. >> the vast majority of the west, of course, does agree with zelensky. trump is, you know, in many ways seems to be allying with russia and some of the hard right elements within europe, like viktor orban of hungary. and so, you know, we can talk about, you know, how it was it was a breakdo

the french president, emmanuel macron, who was a peacemaker on monday between trump and zelenskyy, leadingo the invitation, it seemed, for zelenskyy to the white house and has spoken to trump. he says in this interview with the figaro french newspaper. he also offers in that same interview some details about what a possible peace initiative, a possibly a confidence building measure. he essentially proposes an idea of a limited ceasefire, one that would be in the air, at sea and also stop attacks on energy infrastructure. both sides doing significant damage to each other's energy infrastructure that that could last potentially for a month, suggesting that a larger, broader ceasefire would be very hard to police or monitor or maintain. so that's the first time i think we've heard a practical initiative levied from the european powers here, who are kind of beginning to operate a third track at this particular point. remember, there's the u.s. russia negotiations, the trump administration, they wanted a separate second track in u.s. ukraine relations about a peace deal. well, now that u.s. ukr

we had a vague whisper from the french president, emmanuel macron, telling the french figaro newspaper yesterday that potentially one of the ideas is for a limited ceasefire that involves sea, air and ceasing attacks on energy infrastructure. both sides have been doing that particularly hard over the past months. just an overnight strike by ukraine on an oil refinery in ufa, 1300 kilometers deep inside russia. so that potential idea floated, it seems, by the french president, one of the two european leaders, alongside the uk's keir starmer, as some potential starting mechanism. and indeed the ukrainian president suggesting another confidence building measure could in fact be the return of deported children. remember, that's something vladimir putin has been accused of a war crime by the international criminal court for being involved in, and a larger return of prisoners of war or exchange of those. so lots of ideas being floated here, but frankly, none of them will get traction without support from the united states. we know that keir starmer has on saturday and friday, after the blowu

british prime minister keir starmer said that he, along with french president emmanuel macron and zelenskyall agreed to work on a plan to stop the fighting and will take that to the us. does trump risk isolating the united states, or do you think that is actually part of his america first goal? >> i mean, in some ways it's the definition of his america first goal. i mean, yeah, you can call it isolationism. you can call it isolating, you can call it marginalizing, what have you. but but donald trump, and certainly by extension, much of the party and his supporters are very much, you know, in alignment with this. i mean, whether, you know, there are special carve outs for what you do in panama or what you do in greenland, what you do. you know, in, in the west bank and the gaza strip and so forth. who knows? but but look, i mean, donald trump feels like no matter what he does, whether it's isolationist or not, he has the backing of the people he needs, the people who elected him, and certainly one of our two major parties. and that's gotten them, you know, to this point. and i assume he'll

french president emmanuel macron telling the figaro newspaper that he is contemplating presenting a month long partial ceasefire, which he described as an in the air, in the sea and against tax on energy infrastructure, both sides hitting their energy grids really hard. over the past months that potentially a confidence building measure that macron suggested, uh, could maybe, uh, be monitored more easily than a widespread truce across all the front lines. macron also said he'd spoken to trump since the incident in the oval office and indeed, uk prime minister keir starmer said he's spoken to trump twice. so clearly the europeans were laying their thoughts to the white house, clearly a big gulf still between zelenskyy and trump that needs to be healed. and many questions about zelenskyy's future stemming from that. but the europeans are trying to step up to the plate urgently here in this very unknown territory. nick paton walsh cnn, kyiv, ukraine. >> nick. thank you. on tuesday, president trump will make his first joint address to congress in the nation since his reelection. this will be

this was supposed to be a meeting that took place at the end of the week where french president emmanuel macron and uk prime minister keir starmer, who both visited the white house last week, had secured some kind of warmer ties with the trump administration, perhaps made progress towards persuading the trump administration not to abandon ukraine and europe. but of course. and then, of course, we were expecting ukraine to sign that minerals deal on friday, which would have been a step towards perhaps u.s. involvement in postwar security guarantees. what we got, of course, was the sort of public implosion of that relationship. and that leaves europe with these major existential questions. so this meeting this weekend, i think there is symbolism. you saw keir starmer there, very warm reception for president zelenskyy. he came out onto downing street here. he hugged him. he greeted him in person. we're also seeing more symbolism today where zelenskyy will be meeting with king charles. this was a hastily arranged meeting, which i think highly symbolic, given the fanfare we saw on thursday when prim

unfortunately to get emmanuel macron's office to respond to give a comment to include so which is alsoery telling because predecessors had sometimes stuck their foot in their mouths for lack of a better term, by we owe a huge debt to haiti and then having to walk that back and saying no, no, no, i meant like a moral debt was what the previous president, one of the previous presidents had said. jacques chirac even acknowledge. it was like has nothing to do with that. this is a nonstarter as a conversation. and i think i always say that in order for redress and restitution to happen, which can look different things, there's repayment it which i think absolutely to happen but that's not the only form of redress and restorative justice that can happen there because if you think the money on the face of it it's estimated to be between. 22,000,000,044 billion usd that france would owe haiti in repayment adjusted for inflation. the reason for the wide discrepancy is depends on how you calculate it, how you calculate the interest. over the years, and how you calculate also the fact that this a

we signed with him, me, like a new president, i signed a deal with him, emmanuel macron and angela merkel signed a cease-fire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed with him but after that, he broke the cease-fire. he killed our people and did exchanged prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners but he did not do it. what kind of diplomacy are you speaking about? what do you mean? >> i am talking about the diplomacy that will end the destruction of your country. mr. president, with respect i think it is disrespectful for you to come in the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now you guys are going around and forcing conscript to the front lines because you have a manpower problem. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict. pres. zelenskyy: what problems do we have? >> i have actually watched and seen the stories and i know that what happens is you bring people, you bring people on a propaganda door. do you disagree that you have had problems bringing people into your military? do you think it is

these leaders on the continent of europe to step up now leading the way is sir keir starmer and emmanuel macronthis event. it was planned to follow on from the one in paris, but now is much bigger given what has happened in the oval office as you referred to on fhday office as you referred to on friday night. what he wants is a coalition of the willing, probably organised by the uk and france, to establish some form of security force to enforce the peace in ukraine, if it can be agreed. also, some more money. we we've offered up this country £2 billion overnight from interest on russian assets in this country. more of that to support ukraine to bolster them. and finally, the key question is will there be a us backstop? what they want is an air cover in the form of radar support, or maybe even long—range jets to enforce a degree of peace and enforce a degree of peace and enforce a degree of peace and enforce a peace deal if it can be agreed between ukraine and russia? a lot to talk about. a lot has changed in the past two weeks, and this place feels uncertain. it feels nervous. they�*ve been arr

he said he is aware of a joint by keir, keir vstarrmer and emmanuel for a one month with macron for a russia. after a busy day for the ukraine president, mr zelensky flew in; 7 ~ to king. the two men meet the king. the two men spent about an hour together. this is what the leaders here wanted today to be about — the our is europe and canada, and the host, sir keir starmer, guarantee would look like. forward leaning. and after friday night's spat in the white house... would you be willing to apologise to donald trump, mr president? a leader with plenty to talk about outside and in. and putting an arm around ukraine. we're gathered here today because this is a once for around two hours, they talked and then some why? but also, for example, - securing the energy system and resilient country. have you won the argument with european colleagues of underinvestment, it is now. of utmost importance to step up america for so long at its heart, but now with an unpredictable president? i think it was a good meeting. is european countries stepping up, first of all, to make sure as long as it has t

and as france's emmanuel macron suggests, a one month truce.ame priti patel spoke to our political editor christopher hope, earlier, and she insists it is vital that britain plays a leading role in achieving that peace. >> this matters to us as a country. it matters to our own security here domestically. i cannot emphasise that enough. look at who the aggressor is in this conflict. it's russia. it's the same russia that committed poisonings in our own country not that long ago. you remember salisbury? we had politicians in that very chamber that i've sat in this afternoon who would not even acknowledge russian influence. >> meanwhile, donald trump has criticised european leaders for suggesting peace in ukraine relies on us support. the president says the call, led by sir keir starmer at a weekend summit, was probably not a great statement against russia. he also accused ukraine's president of not wanting peace while backed by the west. calling his suggestion that the war is very, very far away the worst possible statement. mr trump posted those
