our russia editor steve rosenberg has the latest from moscow.l, so far, president putin hasn't said anything about what happened in the white house. but then again, president putin doesn't need to say anything about what happened to the white house. not right now. he can afford to allow events to play out. i mean, earlier, donald trump said "this is going to be great television," and you can just imagine vladimir putin sitting in front of the television set enjoying the spectacle of his enemy, the leader of the country he invaded three years ago, being so publicly rebuked by the president of the united states and the vice president, in front of the world's media. so no comment from vladimir putin. we have had comment from dmitry medvedev, the former russian president, who is now deputy head of the russian security council. he, on social media, wrote that after what had happened, he hopes that america will stop military assistance to ukraine. of course, that's what the russians would love to happen. it's been an incredible two weeks or so, which

all right, let's take it off with mark in moscow. here.

i think that's pretty clear — moscow is portraying the last thing i think russia wants right now is fort is clear that moscow is trying to portray the london to say, "president trump, the europeans are against you. you're better off dealing directly with russia we have much more of that on bbc news. this is bbc news. israeli police say multiple casualties have been reported in a suspected stabbing attack in the initital reports suggest that one person has been killed the decision after hamas refused to accept an american stopping aid — israel's way of starting talks on new israeli terms. its prime minister wants half the hostages left in gaza released before talks on ending the war can begin. it is very mistaken. aid has been flowing into gaza over the past six weeks. many gazans now less worried about israel's to stop the war. in israel, the return of hostages like sagui dekel—chen and get others home. the hostages must come home. sending more tanks to gaza's border and calling up reserves. is ending the war. it might also work. we are keeping an on details coming haifa, details sensin

well, let's go to our correspondent and russia, you and your shop, a lot of us joining us from moscow. so how are the russian seeing all of those european rallying around ukraine, the latest summers in london, julia, has there been any reaction from moscow? well there's a rush as many times said that if he's against any west and peace keepers on the ground in ukraine for russia, it's a clear sign of nato expansion. and according to mole skirt a base has some saying it's biasing for now. and also russia is not going to make any territorial concessions. old lines, it's taken, it says, will remain on the russian control. the bachelor is a bonus console contention because we know that you crane is not going to give up those lines either. as russia seems to be in a stronger position on the bottle filled, it shows it's less interested in peace negotiations and you can continue facing let's make patients press secretary to mutual best. coke said, following the lead is amazing in london that the leaders of the western world still have not decided how to present the previous coalition. given t

all right, let's take it off with mark in moscow. here we're going to talk about the, the actrix. i'm going to talk about if there was an, an bush, we're going to talk a lot of things about this unprecedented event that we saw with uh, zalinski is visit to the white house on friday.

i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. a group of 33 chris presidents who were taken by you printed armed forces from a temporarily occupied areas in the region, is looking forward to returning home to check the ambulances, which today, unfortunately, will be needed by at least 10 returning crew residents. each boss has a dry russian toys for children and everything you need to keep room and that will be a short stop so that everyone can have a hot meals. we are very worried about the psychological and physical condition of the people, but we are fully prepared. we have checked every ambulance, now. it is equipped with everything necessary or transport safety rules will be followed before we hope that the road will be successful and our cook residents will be met by their relatives and friends. but the most important thing is that everyone returns alive and well. that's across now to our, to correspondence, vermont costs forever on my. it's a heart warming reunion for those coming home and their families tell us more about

the tell me how are they going to view this in moscow? i mean, people say they have seen that meeting with absolutely. but of course, if it means that there is no peace deal or no end to the war, that's not good news for poor tennessee as well. they have 2 options. so again, it's worth pointing out that trump is giving away anything for free here, the worse over that is so the ukrainians don't really have much man power less. the nato doesn't have much more weapons to send and we see the front lines are collapsing. and this is why it's important to recognize realities on the ground as press to a piece. so, but again, for the russians, they see this one dilemma one. they can go for the territories. that is, for example, let's say that the native continues to threaten to expand if they have the option between the best in nato or the site in russia. and they will, they will, the next a, this region says, well, have to have the option of a deal which trump to pursue it presents, then they're willing to accept a neutral, a desk with a new crim

otherwise, we are pre before posting on the you are watching r t international live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. we're bringing you the top news stories from around the world. the 1st we're breaking news from israel, where one man has been killed and 4 wounded and a stabbing attack in the northern city of haifa is really police say the alleged assailant was killed shortly after he attacked people at a bus station. the suspect was identified as miss bailey's citizen from a nearby arabic ruse. town medics on the scene confirmed the death of a 70 year old man and the 3 victims in critical condition, including a 15 year old boy will stay on top of the story and bring you all the latest details as we get them here at our to a coalition of the willing, it's a term unheard of since the us led invasion of a rock over 2 decades ago. but right now it's the u. k. and france leading the charge as they proposed a bombshell plan to deploy a european troops to ukraine. it's an idea that was ruled out by russia well in advance and there is no appetite for it in the us. either way, even the bri

and i mentioned reverse that trump is, is going to, in a sense, go to moscow or meet with with pollution and drill brewton away from the russian relationship with china. a. yeah, i do want to get back to ukraine, but china, very quick. actually. 2 of seemingly be much colder on the plan to reduce nuclear stockpile is where 50 percent have. do you think anyone in the trump administration quite understands what's been happening these last few years and that some nickelodeon, leaving of badging, and most coaches isn't on the cards. because of the sanctions that were imposed, i mean, do they understand that that's over i think i for quite a long time. and there is this very foolish tool cause you know, crazy. a breach between rusher and charlie know, turning roster in some sense into a, you know, arriving with china. that's not going to happen at the same time. but a lot of russians are worried about russian becoming too dependent on china vouchers. you know, one of the things that we have to offer to rusher as an incentive to make peace and ukraine and reduce its dom honesty, right? the fac

all right, let's take it off with mark in moscow. here. we're going to talk about the if the actrix i'm going to talk about, if there was an ambush, we're going to talk a lot of things about this unprecedented event that we saw with uh, zalinski is visit to the white house on friday. but i want to ask both of you the most important question and the most serious one is have efforts to end the conflict in ukraine, been enhanced mark or the been diminished as a result of what we saw, the theatrics that we saw mark. yeah, i do, i mean this is a frank guess that has shot the world. i. i don't believe that it has either increased or decreased the chance. i think what we had going in. there's a different dynamic certainly, but everything we've heard from the europeans and the key. every gene is uh, they're, you know, they're going to continue to fight, even if the us walks away a mark owing to georgia the last time i talked to you. we were concerned that the initiative that trump was so fond of, of ending the conflict in ukraine during the campai

it proved russia's readiness to engage in good faith for stats. moscow maintains, today, moves abortion you put in your mind. i can only say this to confirm our position. we haven't changed. our president as openly stated, we're ready to talk with ukraine. europe. anyone involved in a spirit of goodwill with us gone, rushes, recalibrating, and serious strategy. most guys, priority is security is military assets in the country, but fostering times with serious new leadership. this allows russia to tank or its middle east presence countering western designs in the region. a city screw, it'll go what's to on syria. both rush in turkey are committed to improving the situation, focusing on stabilizing it with mutual efforts. foreign policy research are set to john urgent underscore as moscow strategy. using churches influence to engage new actors while securing its bases. monday's meeting, locked in, their joints, commitment to stability, a stepping stone to broader influence. russia aims to use turkey has leverage to engage politically diplomatically and even militarily with serious new act

you will be a shop, a lot of our reports from moscow on the questions, comments? according to dimitra best co criminal spokesman, these pots with donald trump and j. g bonds in the white house shows the lens keys, a lack of diplomatic scales. the incident also demonstrated how difficult it will be to get to on the policy resolving the conflict. commenting on the latest summit in london, a pass code said that statements on increased funding to create a new aimed at peaceful settlement of russia. as many times said that it has against any west and peace keepers on the ground and ukraine. so for rashid, who will be a clear sign of nato expansion. if that happens. and according to mosca, this is something is fighting for now in order to prevent it from happening. also, russia is not going to make any territorial concessions. all the lines it's taken, it says, will remain under his control. and we know ukraine is not going to give up those lines either. so if the scope has said that the landscape doesn't want to take into account the realities on the ground. so that me

and his president hoped that he can be a step towards reviving relations between rome and moscow. post monthly position. we're going to see it paid. so if you look, i have lived in russia for 30 years. i lived in italy for practically half my life, and i've been living in russia for half my life except for basically my childhood. i was born and lived in italy for 7 years, then spent 30 years in russia and then 30 years in italy. there was never a moment where there was no desire to return to work in russia, and it should be noted that at 1st in years 2022 and 2023. it was especially difficult to talk about russia there. people prefer not to draw attention to their interest in wanting to work in russia. we, as a chamber, have lost a lot of members who simply decided to pay the membership fee for sure, but did not want us to indicate that they paid the membership fee within the russian chamber of commerce, because it was a reputational risk. now, i must say there is less and less of this. there are already people who are more outspoken and openly say it is time. this is felt not onl

it's a low promotional moscow, i suppose, changing this, but a lot of muscle to the stuff to the under control of them, both cape muscle and destruct totaled could offer you the, the vessels captain, who remained in captivity for the longest period of time in the history of some of the by.

a lot of the command-and-control was back in moscow. it was expensive to maintain, but nuclear weapons come with some degree of security, but the deal struck was that ukraine would give up the nuclear weapons for financial incentives as well as from the american perspective assurances of ukrainian security from the ukrainian perspective i think there was understanding it was more of a guarantee. there were two different translations and i think this is emblematic of the relationship. the u.s. wanted ambiguity, but that room only left room for russia to take advantage of ambiguity and i will end by saying in learning about this i think it was important for ukraine to give up nuclear weapons and we had this thing where it was a microcosm of the u.s.-ukraine relationship. we would argue about the narrative arc and everything, but the budapest memo is a great example. benjamin: one of the striking things about that story when we talked to diplomats at the senior levels, when you talk to people who were literally in one case my sister's coll

that's bringing julia shop a lot of why she's standing by for us and moscow. and that has been as much cautious as it moves the landscape in russia, usually as they have support from europe. tell us about the reaction there of the. that's right, although we haven't had from the countries told police to ship, there were many opinions expressed by russia's, of the officials and the opinion makers. you mentioned form a russian presence, meet truman, nevada, and he called trump's rhetoric tools that landscape fee us review kind of a slap. i think that it was not enough and judge to stop miniature age to kids. while marie is a harbor for administrative foreign ministry spokesman and made some looking remarks, remarks at tools zelinski unless he arrive at the landscape gave a most a clause said the white house on how politicians do not have to talk to trump some say the confident between the 2 presidents mature the long time ago and it finally broke out. and its main reason is because you, crane and the united states have completely different goals here. ukraine wan

all right, let's take it off with mark and moscow. here we're going to talk about the if the actrix i'm going to talk about if there was an, an bush, we're going to talk a lot of things about is unprecedented. event that we saw with, uh, zalinski is visit to the white house on friday. but i want to ask both of you the most important question and the most serious one is have efforts to end the conflict in ukraine, been enhanced mark or the been diminished as a result of what we that's the address that we saw mark. yeah, i mean with this is a frank. yes, that has show the world i. i don't believe that it has either increased or decreased the chance. i think what we had going in. there's a different dynamic certainly, but everything we've heard from the europeans and the average team is uh there. you know, they're going to continue to fight, even if the us walks away more in to georgia. the last time i talked to you, we were concerned that the initiative, the trump was so fond of, of ending the conflict in ukraine during the campaign. af

steve rosenberg sent us this update from moscow. so what has the reaction been here in moscow?ir putin, he wrote this about the london summit. in other words, a gathering of witches. and so that those people who were taking part want to continue the war. the meeting in london. they are against you. they are against russia, they are against peace. we know what russia is against. and in an interview published today, so it seems that russia's position hasn't changed on european peacekeepers. it's a big no. russian state television, in its big weekly news review show, not only criticised the idea it said, what troops can they afford to send? steve rosenberg there. with me is pike, been . we.“ ,. . a” 7 wall developments. following all developments. let's start with news le figaro is suggesting, by is suggesting, a suggestion by macron prime president macron and prime minister starmer of a truce in ukraine. one—month truce in ukraine. what details do we have? an what details do we have? in interesting development, what details do we have? fifi interesting development, not a fees—le:

embassy in moscow.e your perspective here at all or what can you glean to us on the relationship from that? >> no. it actually shapes my perspective. i mean there's a way to deal with the kremlin and president trump is not doing it. if you look over the past 2 1/2 to 3 weeks, what you've seen trump do is make concession after concession to russian positions. that just encourages putin to sit back and wait for more. that's not the way to deal with the kremlin and it's not the way to deal with vladimir putin, who now sees a very weak person in the white house. >> so if this is a personality issue, this isn't about the person who is now in the white house, what kind of lasting impact could this have on diplomacy when it comes to other future administrations? >> well, i think this depends on what mr. trump does, but my guess is this evening there are some pretty anxious conversations taking place in europe, basically asking the question if, in fact, trump throws ukraine under the bus, can europe count on th

moscow is, of course, jubilant over what they've seen over the course of the past 24 hours. americans are reckoning with this. our european allies and partners are reckoning with this in the kremlin. they're rejoicing and they're rejoicing for one simple reason. there is a recipe that the american government knows, our european allies know, and the kremlin knows for, uh, ultimately, um, achieving and securing ukraine that is victorious, that is to say, a ukraine that is prosperous, that is sovereign with the means and ability to defend itself going forward. and there are three elements to that. um, each of which is fundamental, but one is much more important than the other very quickly. it is, uh, forms of assistance, security assistance, economic assistance, humanitarian assistance for ukraine. it is costs and consequences on moscow, that is to say, the sanctions, the export controls, the other economic and financial measures that the that the west and our partners and allies have imposed on moscow. but three and this is the most important leg of this stool. it is a sense o

so look, you mentioned you work for, what, four years there in moscow reporting on vladimir putin. how is he interpreting friday's scene in the oval office? and why does trump want to defend him so strongly? >> well, this is one of the essential mysteries still of president trump's time on the public stage. and we really haven't answered for ten years. we have been asking the question, why does he like vladimir putin so much when no other american president would, would use the kind of words that he does, especially about a president of russia who has invaded his neighbor and been at war with him now for 11 years, not just the last three. and that has never seemed to be a problem for trump. he has been an admirer of trump's. he called him just this week. he called him cunning and smart. he calls zelensky a dictator. of course, putin is the real dictator. zelensky is a popularly elected president in a in a in a functional, if not perfect democracy. but you're right. i mean, it was fascinating at this thing yesterday, at this meeting yesterday, the things that seemed to bug trump was

>> yeah. >> let's start. >> actually, in moscow, where. >> they're not. >> popping champagne because they're under sanctions from france. >> but they're breaking out the best bottles. >> of vodka. >> everybody is very, very happy in moscow. and you see that across russian television. now let's shift to brussels, where the greatest pool of allies, partners and friends the united states could possibly have in the world. our fellow democracies across this transatlantic bridge. there is despair. there is deep, deep concern and sadness over the way vladimir zelenskyy was treated in the oval office. the way he was. um, simply, i think, ambushed by the president and the vice president in a display that really does shame to the oval office of the united states. i think the question now, jim, is what happens in europe? let's face it, the spotlight will now go to europe. donald trump has made it clear he wants no part of helping ukraine going forward. it's a geopolitical mistake of epic proportion. now the lights go on in europe. they're going to have to step up and take this on. >> as you kno

policy, more toward moscow than it has been in the past. >> yeah. and as mark lays all that out, molly, this is just all a shock to the political system. how is it responding in your view? >> i think most people are still in shock. i think this applies to so many of the things that trump has done at the beginning of this new administration. he has gone full throttle in the direction that he promised to do. he has upended the transatlantic alliance, if not left it in tatters. but this is also the way he's approaching the federal government. this is also the way he's approaching many other sort of systems and institutions that he essentially believes he has a mandate to destroy or weaken, or at least significantly change. so i think, you know, it is certainly the case that that washington is reeling and europe is reeling and nato is reeling. but what you hear from the the trump camp and his allies is, well, what did they expect? did they think he wasn't going to do the things that he said, the things that that he promised? uh, and, you know, he promis

has suspended all offensive cyber operations against moscow for now. and the kremlin this morning saying this, the new u.s. administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. this largely coincides with our vision that from russia. cnn's alayna treene is live at the white house to start us off this morning. elena, what more are you learning ahead of the president's address tonight? tomorrow? >> well, i've been talking with trump administration. >> officials, white. >> house officials. >> still. >> you. >> know, i'm told they're still working on the. >> speech. >> and the overall message. but i am told that at. >> some. >> point, the president is expected to take a victory lap, of course, of the election, but. also highlighting the accomplishments that they argue they have made in less than two months. and to this point, when he addresses congress tomorrow. now, of course, the speech that he's going to give tomorrow night is going to be very different than the time, the last time he was up there. it was he was freshly impeached. the c

and moscow again is the form of the attendant kindled in this obvious and rushing non pauses. talk to the imagery, training these on russians born and defense policy council. because i've been kind of so good to have a russian on the show up to so many people from the american side. you know, we had the trump, the deputy assistant on the other day, semester and gorka. so, um, i mean from as being saying off and on. it's possible. there is some presence of western european nato troops allowed in ukraine. and of course, a lever of the foreign minister said, no. so what will happen to the soldiers if they turn up? they're, i mean, right now they're in my 6, they're in british special forces in ukraine. what will happen to these troops if they turn up the well, if they happen to come without rushes approval, which is not forthcoming, as, as we said, they may become targets for russian strikes. and that would involve of those countries into a direct and immediate military conflict. where's the russian federation? i hope that the, the rulers of european country is consider that seri

he said that the interference from washington, as he put it, was as drastic and as outrageous as moscow'serest when you were reporting on election night from the alternative fur deutschland headquarters. tell me, what are they as a party? girls still can't go to school? no. there are thousands of religious madrassas. they have filled the gap. i visited a couple of madrassas as well, and for me, it was unprecedented. i had never seen anything like it before. women... ..believing that they should be in the service of men. and the stuff they are taught in these madrassas are very extreme — very, very extreme. in one or two spots.
