journalists who cover the white house, the white house correspondents association.you're obviously a past president of that. do you want to talk through a little bit aboutjust what was announced this week by the press secretary, caroline leavitt? sure. so the white house correspondents association exists essentially to represent the interests of the white house press corps, try and regularly fail to forge a consensus for collective action by the press in relation to the white house, you know, advance first amendment principles and the like. but the day—to—dayjob is that negotiation for, you know, how many reporters can we get into this event to observe the president first—hand, do hisjob? moving forward, the white house pressl pool will be determined by the white house press team. what they said this week was that they would take control over who was in this pool. and they seized that control from the whca, from this journalist organisation, which had controlled it for decades, for basically as long as it it's a really significant blow to press freedoms so this is n

, the white house is hiding it. and i saw it. somebody flagged it for me. i went whatever, this is not true. and it went viral. it went haywire and was all over the place. and one thing about me that people who have known me for a decade or more, they know i don't drink, i do not drink alcohol. it's something i've not done for a long time. and people were like -- they inherently knew and knew it wasn't true but it was going all over the place and the right wing had taken it and kept on going. it got so bad the mainstream media reached out to my team and was like hey, you know karine doesn't drink, we know that but this is all over the place, we need a statement. can you guys debunk this? i actually got really annoyed. what? obviously if you look at the post, it's not real. if i have this right, i think the person who posted it might have been a bot or didn't have many followers and didn't come from a real source. what i wanted to do because i have a 10-year-old and don't want my daughter to ever google me and see al

this was not when the white when the white house press corps was formed, when the white house correspondentstizan things. and not only that, the members of the pool are not one organization. i think the public might be surprised to know that sometimes it's the new york times. sometimes fox is involved because there's an agreement. >> it's the daily caller, correct. >> if you are part of that pool, you have a responsibility to all your fellow journalists and the american public to report accurately. tell me about this from your perspective, because you were on the other side of this on the white house side. >> absolutely. you know, there is a there's an african proverb that says, until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter. acclaimed african author wrote those words. and the journalists, especially the journalists that reported on the white house, they are the historians for the lions, right? for the american people. they are going in there telling the full picture of the story, not just the story that supports one party or another. and so

really dusted the white dude. i thought you white dudes could fight better that the guard said that because they hope to start another and quote and. another interesting point along these lines is that a man that was also incarcerated in san quentin who self-identified as a nazi actually the sect that would originally combine with bikers to form the aryan brotherhood in san quentin. so he mind that the officers were helping he he felt that officers were justified in supplying incarcerated white people for example with street knives. versus other groups or having to little shanks to defend themselves. he felt like this was a good system for them because if was not for their alliance with officers in their shared mission to declare war on the black population and to suppress the civil rights movement within california, the aryan brotherhood wouldn't have been able to form it wouldn't have been able to amass. the tangible economic and political that it did in a short span of from the 1960s onward, beginning in san. a

[laughter] you white devils.hter] tapper claimed republicans are trying to convince us biden had dementia but fails to mention there was a democrat trying to convince us biden had dementia and his name was joe biden. [laughter] >> rapidly rising -- [inaudible] >> joe biden is the only person in history who quits talking in the middle of a sentence because he's done. [laughter] the guy sending the team on second down. not okay. the reasonably trust the media is not because republicans try to convince us biden went nuts, merchants like jake tapper tried to convince us he did it. >> start your taper now because i'm about to tell you the truth. as you if you can't handle the truth. this version of biden intellectually, analytically is the best biden ever. not a close second, i've known him for years. >> i do think i speak for everyone watching what i say joe, you lying bag of sleep [bleep] [applause] >> joe biden was so out of it that one time he tried talking to reporters and they sent in the easter bunny to interru

moving forward, the white house press pool will be determined by the white house press team.ie: more of my conversation with karoline leavitt. let me go larger on the question of the pool. you say, with the white house taking it over, this is returning power to the people, but it's really transferring power to the white house. what's to stop you from largely, and i say largely, because i know, for example, that you're keeping legacy media outlets as part of the pool, largely picking friendly reporters who will ask friendly questions. >> i love you, howie, but i have to fundamentally disagree with what you're saying. our print pooler two day ago was the independent from the uk which is not a very friendly outlet to donald trump. the print pooler yesterday was the los angeles times for goodness sakes. cnn was our tv pooler yesterday, and we know the misinformation that they've reported about this administration and this president for years. this is not about revoking the right of biased news organizations to be in the oval office or to cover this president. it's simply about en

america and the white house can ride that story line forever.nd in some ways, the press can too. >> the whole world was watching. and then just six weeks into the invasion of iraq, a new made for tv spectacle, president bush hitching a ride on a fighter jet to the uss abraham lincoln just off the coast of san diego to make what proved a premature announcement. george w. bush puts on a flight suit. >> yeah. >> a tight one. frankly. >> he's got the look, doesn't he? i'm telling you, that. >> is the fighter pilot strut. if i ever saw it, he's got it going. >> tom cruise, look out! >> and then he gives a speech about the end of combat operations with a huge banner behind him that says, mission accomplished. >> yeah. >> um, the mission was not accomplished. >> no. >> not remotely accomplished. and it will go down as one of the great moments of presidential hubris of all time. >> in the battle of iraq. the united states and our allies have prevailed. >> the united states had not won a war in iraq. the united states had started a war in iraq. >> this m

island fisher reports from the white house. but you will feel that historic was of the oval office of god did many secrets. this was all played out in front of the cameras. don't tell us what we're going to feel a staggering exchange between the us president his number 2 and the leader of is you creating alex, raised voices, pointed fingers, well to me as the landscape accused of being disrespectful to the country, which is supported him through 3 years of war, and donald trump insisting he should be more grateful. you're allowed all the way. and if there's anything that example should be right around the word, beginning of the war, not in a good position. it was, you don't have the cards right now with us, you start having to arrange the car right now. you're being so nice for you to you . again later we relied simple radians of people seeing you gambling with world war 3 gambling world war 3. and what you're doing is very just disrespectful to the country both tom said there was a chance of a peace deal claiming it was very c

so um storm is meeting in the white house when, well, my friends meeting in the white house went well. so hopefully this sign of action will create that sort of diplomatic cough to see some sort of supplement that will be agreeable to ukraine. russia also weighed in area on sundays between the full that means in london took place. options for him is the 2nd level of accused europe of one thing, the war to continue as he prays on us, president donald trump, the most of the sort of after the end of biden's term in office, there's a new team. now, that guided by common sense and the direct in saying we want to stop or was we wants peace, we for the and who wants to want to continue europe with just putting the thoughts of them. we've got through right now. they're saying, let's have peacekeepers. we want it as many thousands of them we will give them a cover, but that's also bracing of them because nobody's asking us what we think. trump understands everything. trump says it is too early when there is a settlement, you can discuss this issue, but it will require the agreement of the part

i mean, warm was definitely not the feeling that he had in the white house yesterday. so, you know, i think he was making a point there. and he also made a couple of other points that i think are significant. he talked about the fact that he was happy to have and pleased to have a partner who shared the same vision for security and stability for ukraine going forward. and so the way that he's describing this and the meeting in these warm, friendly terms and that he's got a leader here who he says that they share the same direction and understanding of what should happen to ukraine, that it should have security guarantees going forward, that it should have a lasting peace, and it should have a peace that is a fair peace. all these sorts of pieces of language that we heard reflected by the prime minister's spokesperson at downing street when they described the meeting. this is in stark contrast to what to what happened yesterday, and i think it is part of a reset and clearly an important part of a reset. if the united states is to be engaged by the europeans, which is wh

plus, as the trump white house moves to control and restrict the white house press pool. i'll talk to jim acosta, longtime white house correspondent who spent years holding trump to account. another hour of velshi starts right now. i begin this hour with donald trump's economy and republicans plans, as they laid out in as they're laid out in a newly passed budget to slash the health care program that serves 1 in 5 americans. they're doing that in order to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich. that bill now heads to the senate, where republicans want to put up a smoke screen to obscure that enormous cost from the american people by using a budget gimmick which would reconstruct the way congress creates budget and balances debt. it helps me through that smoke screen. let's take a look at the numbers. these new tax cuts come in the form of extending the 2017 trump tax cuts, which expire at the end of this year for another ten years. that will cost an estimated $4.5 trillion with a t, which poses several important issues for republicans, including leaving

the scenes from the white house are shocking. how can someone stab the president of an invaded country in the back like that free europe will not betray ukraine? the zalinski, the ukrainian friends, you are not alone. now we got a chance to discuss the complexity of relations between ukraine, the united states, e u and russia, and an exclusive interview with renowned economy standing un senior advisor, jeffrey sachs in europe. the. so he's got trapped by following the united states, getting a blind to kind of way guy, and just trying to be the great cheer leader of us, a gemini. i obviously, the whole us approach. the unipolar approach was delusional. what happened during the last 30 years? i'm going to put it because this is a 30 year us project, is that the united states said where you have polar, we do what we want. we expand militarily, where we want, we expand our influence, where we want i, in 2008 the us said, now we move made over to ukraine to georgia. i and a, this is a replay, by the way of the pride, me in more of 185

i mean, especially now that the white house says it's going to manage the white house press pool in a different way. um, what what are the challenges that you and many correspondents are facing right now in this kind of tenor that is being sent from this white house? >> well, that that requires maybe a little sort of one on one explanation of what the white house press pool is and what it does and what the pool is, is it's a group of of journalists and news organizations that go in to smaller places like the oval office or fly on air force one when the whole press corps, which is hundreds of reporters, can't, can't fit. uh, so that's something that presidents of, you know, of both political parties have made use of when they're holding meetings with foreign leaders, uh, like with president zelenskyy last year, or, excuse me, last week. um, and and that's, that's what the pool is there for, is to go in, uh, to ask questions and then to share that material with the rest of the press corps. what the white house decided to do last week is take over organization of that pool from the white

i was, i don't have the cards right now. unprecedented scenes inside the white house. us to claim data on minimal as soon as opposed to a sheet of nation between donald trump and a lot of massive lensky. despite the tensions of the white house leaders from across the e u, we have some they support for ukraine and it's with russia. floss i've drilling a hole in southern europe with folk area and greek, so locked in a dispute of the water that offers a glimpse of the environmental crises of the future. the . the 1st phase of the goal is to cease finding in a scheduled to end on saturday, but with moss saying, there are no tax taking place about a 2nd phase. it's future as in dallas, the globe accuses as well, of breaching some parts of the agreement, including blocking the entry of so so to humanitarian supplies. a solid been job aid looks at the stumbling blocks and the negotiations last few weeks, instead of celebrations, month to much or we did cease money for many palestinians. then began the journey home. long lines of men, women, and children clutching beat their belongings. nearly

zelenskyy left the white house early following that exchange.rted that secretary of state marco rubio and national security advisor mike wallace asked the ukrainians to leave immediately after that meeting. the two leaders were expected to sign a deal that would give ukrainians -- the u.s. access to ukrainian mineral resources, but the white house has confirmed that deal was not signed. start from set on his truth social platform, president zelenskyy -- president trump said on his truth social platform, president zelenskyy is not ready for peace because our involvement gives a big advantage in negotiations. i don't want to vanish, i want peace. he disrespected the united states of america and its cherished oval office. he can come back when ready for peace. president zelenskyy expressed gratitude to the american people after his class with president trump, writing on x, thank you america, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. thank you potus, congress, and the american people. ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are work

arrives in london so rarely european support 24 hours off to a heated argument, but donald trump at the white house, the ultimate cry. this is down to 0 line from doha. also coming up phase one of the guys that ceased by comes to an end, but phase 2 is in limbo, a mazda q. this is where i live, refusing to engage in tools. plus the 12 year old boy is chosen coupons, ready for us as in the occupied west bank, bringing the number of children co pay of this year to $14.00 and syria. is it the challenges of fluids up to a national dialogue? an interim government is expected to be named the less than 24 hours after an extraordinary public arguments in the oval office. ukrainian president, the lot of means of landscape has arrived in london on friday, a heated 3 wide debate between donald trump, his vice president, and the ukranian later ended with the landscaping us to leave. the white house is now set to meet british prime minister kissed alma on saturday and hit a lodge amazing one of 12 european leaders for a defense summits in london on sunday. it's the latest and the series of meetings and re

this is off just meeting of the white house between trump and zaleski. however, it now takes on an even higher importance because these are appear in need of facing a very real prospect that us maples administrative support for ukraine. and they have to see if they are able to step up to that challenge and fill the void that's being left of that potentially maybe left by the us. but i think so that's a malayna reporting that from london. let's go to cave and right. com is the same run people may have had expectations about what was going to happen is what, how is making but what did happen certainly wasn't one of these expectations. absolutely, a lot of showcasing ukraine at the moment at the pictures and the words that were coming out from that meeting. a lot of people actually think this was an ambush by the vice president and the president of the us of the united states of america. because they should, they say this lensky should have known that this was going to be a hostile meeting because of the language use in the weeks of running up to this parti

you served with him in the white house. should he win a second term, trump is proposing blanket tariffs, 10 or even 20% of all imports and up to 60% on chinese goods. vice president harris says this is essentially a national sales tax. if trump wins and puts tariffs like that in place, what would the effect be on the average american consumer? - first of all, just remember that president trump proposes a lot of things. you know, big supply side tax cuts, reduced government spending, deregulation, tariffs. if you look at one in isolation, then you're not necessarily getting an accurate picture. but with tariffs, that policy was specifically mostly targeted on china. and people say, "well, who did it hurt?" i think it clearly hurt china. what happens is that imagine if there's a company, a chinese company, that has 100% of its sales in the u.s. and they only have 1% of the market in the us, say. then if we put a tariff on them, that company goes out of business. but it doesn't really affect anyone here because we could just b

however, yesterday from the white house, he posted thanks to the white house, congress and so many others. these are, you know, some of the other thank yous that he has given to america over this three year war. listen. >> thank you so much, mr. president. >> of course. >> thanks. bipartisan support. >> thanks, congress. and and. thanks from our. just ordinary people. to your ordinary. >> people. >> americans. financial assistance is also. >> critically important. >> and i. >> would like to. thank you. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> for both. >> financial packages. you have already provided us with, and. >> the ones. >> you may. be willing to decide on. your money. >> is not. >> charity. >> it's an. investment in the global. >> security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way. first of all, thank you for your leadership. >> for. >> your support., and really. for this new package. >> it's great. >> thank you very much from our people. and i'm so happy that. >> you know. >> we have. >> so strong relations with our people. >> that our. >> people during. >> this, all t

vance, and president zelenskyy inside the white house was an ambush.was a planned ambush designed to embarrass president zelenskyy in order to benefit of vladimir putin. >> what a complete and utter mass. and this is a gift to putin. we do not gain anything by acting like bullies and this is what police do. just because you act this way, by the way, does that mean you are tough. >> the president of the united states is a coward who who is vladimir putin's puppet. the vice president of the united states is a poke and a coward who was donald trump's puppet. so what we just witnessed was a meeting at the oval office between two cowardly puppets and the hero. >> jesse: this is just meaningless sloganeering. what is the democrats plan for peace and ukraine? they don't have one. what is the democrats plan to win the war in ukraine? they don't have one. the democrats only plan is to keep doing whatever joe biden was doing which is to fight an unwinnable and this proxy war. if the ukrainians just enough not to lose but not enough to win it. and if you do give

and then he kicked the ukrainians out of the white house. these scenes and the yelling and the finger pointing, they really would fit in a soap opera if not for the reality that right now, russia is still attacking ukraine daily, and we're three years into an invasion that has killed tens of thousands of ukrainians. and for changed many more. and europe and the free world are now left asking, is the u.s. still on our side? here's where the president says he stands. after all that. >> we're not going to keep fighting. you're going to get the war done or let them go and see what happens. let them fight it out. >> our guest on this have unique perspectives. major general dana pittard served in the u.s. army, including multiple tours in iraq. he's an author of hunting the caliphate and terrell. jermaine starr is a journalist who was in ukraine covering the war when russia first invaded. he's the host of black diplomats on youtube and joins us from kyiv. gentlemen, welcome to you. general, let me start with you. the president said it was good for

white house is going definitely to suit russia very well. lets to suit russia very well.ets ick u- to suit russia very well. lets pick up on — to suit russia very well. lets pick up on that _ to suit russia very well. lets pick up on that final - to suit russia very well. lets pick up on that final thought because donald trump has not beenin because donald trump has not been in the white house for very long in his second term butjust how, in your eyes, has the relationship between russia and the us been reset since he has come in?— has come in? well, definitely, we see more _ has come in? well, definitely, we see more conversation - we see more conversation dialogue. vladimir putin this week made a speech in front of russia's fsp, the security service and he said that this new line that donald trump took, and his relationship with russia, definitely shows promise. but not more than that. we sell those meetings in saudi arabia. we saw talks in istanbul. there are talks of how russia and the us are going to restore a number of embassy personnel in america and russia. this i

i'll just see it up at the white house. with ours, after the tents meeting at the white house, the landscape told us media he wants drum to be more on ukraine side. just us just fire without security going into this so sensitive for all of people. i'm, i'm speaking like a president of people who are in this struggle 3 years and they, you just want to hear that americans know assigned and america will stay with us the interactions with us. that's the ukrainians have been reacting to that exchange in the white house. here's what people in keep have to say a form to prove all of this the my to this is a complete failure on the parts of us diplomacy, which is currently nothing such a strong country. and yet it's in a weak position and supports nance dictatorship. the us as basically cussing versus feeds of the as soon as he also falls, he, those leading to the us decline was the us support is very important for us because it's money. and for us that's very important. we don't have our own resources and everybody understands thi

he did not believe he had the skills and the maturity to command a regiment, white or black. but he agreed. and when he agreed, he jumped to ranks to the rank of colonel. now, different from slightly different, i'll say, from the portrayal of shaw in the film glory by matthew broderick, shaw was not quite the timid officer that matthew broderick portrays. most accounts are. shaw was fair. he was firm, and as i think is portrayed in the film, he was absolutely committed getting his men prepared for the fight that he expected to come, that he in his heart would come at point. the men in the 54th were equally committed, if not even more so. the film i think depicts many of the challenges that they went to volunteer then serve. the lack of weapons is one example to months for them to be issued weapons. but when sergeant african-americans in the regiment when asked about this he said we had been to the armory of god and had received weapons. the heart that made us daring and dangerous foes men to be reckoned. well. the first operation that the 54th participated in is the now infam

and zelenskyy and his entourage were told to leave the white house.ack," they were told by the secretary of state, "when you are ready for peace." trump later left for a weekend in florida, having said his piece. >> this is going to be great television, i will say that. >> reporter: so zelenskyy left here today without signing an agreement to give the u.s. access to ukraine's rare earth minerals, and no guarantee the u.s. will continue defending his country. white house officials say that is partly because trump felt disrespected and didn't like how zelenskyy shrugged and rolled his eyes during that oval office exchange. >> maurice: okay, ed, so zelenskyy left the white house, walked out of there, then what happened? >> reporter: well, cbs news has learned ukrainian officials called the white house this afternoon after zelenskyy's departure trying to restart the talks, but they were told trump didn't want to talk to him again today. multiple european officials also called top aides asking about the future of the rare earth minerals deal and whether or

the white house is now set to meet the british prime minister kissed alma on saturday, the head of a lodge, a meeting of 12 european leaders for defense summits in london on sunday as well. your response follows that explosive route in front of cameras between zalinski, donald trump, and us vice president j defends the present with respect. i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office to try to litigate this in front of the american media right now. you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thinking, the president advisors bring it into this. come up into your claim that you say what problems we have. i have been to kind of want, i have actually, i've actually watched in seen the stories and i know, and what happens is you break people, you bring them on a propaganda tour of mr. president are, do you disagree that you've had problems like bringing people in your military have from do you think that it's respect alons to come to the oval office of an arctic states of america and attacked the a

well, so far, president putin hasn't said anything about what happened in the white house. 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 has turned everything on its head. it began with the putin—trump telephone call on february

on the white house and their.as we can. but definitely some. >> outlets. >> including ours, are seeing access restricted in certain ways. >> there's no doubt that, you know, americans deserve transparency from their government. and a press pool offers that. it offers the american people direct access to their highest elected official, the so-called leader of the free world. now we're seeing journalists being barred from doing that. and although it may be a small step, as we've seen with trump, it always starts with something small. and then it begins to expand more and more and see what he can get away with. and so the question now becomes, is there something is there anything that journalists can do or should do to prevent this erosion? >> you know. >> i was i was thinking of that exact question on friday when i was seeing the whole fiasco unfold at the white house. and i was thinking, you say donald trump seems weak. and i, unfortunately was thinking the same thing about the press, like, how weak are we in this

so let's use coach for a deal sending him away from the white house for me. as soon as he makes his exit to the mineral resources, re weigh the truck per lanes on the sign that is seen, we sent them to the us. and in the final, out of the presidential election is upon the way, is how's the advisers decided between the 2 candidates? was competing visions for the nations problem. part of the life must go. this is up to you and sent him is of news i'm use saw now that we saw a lot of things inside the holes, all of the white house with cameras, rolling lensky face to shift in tone as the us approach to putting on the trump takes a new direction. what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy? that's what president trump is doing. can ask you. sure. yeah, yeah. okay. what do you mean? i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy it is going to in the destruction of your country. but he's mr. president. mr. president with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office. try to litigate this in front of the american media. we'

but now he just essentially got kicked out of the white house. we are witnessing extraordinary changes as you said 10. but at the beginning of our conversation temple go to is the president of the african peoples convention. joining us live on ology international. thank you so much for your time . thank you. well, i had a chance to speak with her now and decide who is the economist the end of the senior un special representative jeffrey sachs. we talked to one of our, the complex relations between ukraine, the us, the e, u, and rush in europe. but he had got trapped by following the united states in a blind kind of way. and just trying to be the great cheer leader of us a gemini, i obviously, the whole us approach. the unit polar approach was delusional. what happened during the last 30 years, i've been reported because this is a 30 year us project is that the united states said, were you in a polar, we do what we want. we expand militarily, where we want, we expand our influence where we want i eat in 2008. the us said, now we move made over to

you covered the white house. what? what is this, a warning sign for trump that, you know, in the aftermath of really remarkable past month that things may be slipping in the wrong direction? >> two things. one, of course, it's a warning sign. whenever you see your poll numbers go down. that's not something the white house wants to see. two it probably doesn't matter because they are only six weeks in. we are only six weeks into this administration and they're going full speed ahead. and there's not going to be a poll that's going to make him decide all of a sudden that he wants to change course. on the goals that he's had and the policies that he's implementing. i do think he's sensitive to polls, but i also think he's very, very confident that what he's doing is the right thing and that's not going to have an impact. >> 52% say that he has not paid attention to the problems. most important problems facing the country. >> yeah. and i think that is, you know, a sign that this white house might not be taking the mandate

the close of the white house, ukraine's president. but ultimately, lensky was pro rated by us president donald trump and vice president j. d vons on live television. so, so landscape says his relationship with donald trump, tom be salvaged off to this extraordinary, who was in the oval office. he says he need security guarantees before entering any piece, tools with russia, and official reports from the white house. but you will feel the historic walls of the oval office of god in many secrets. this was all played out in front of the camera. don't tell us what we're going to feel a staggering exchange between the us president his number 2 and the leader of his ukranian allies. raised voices pointed fingers loaded mirrors. the landscape accused of being disrespectful to the country, which is supported him through 3 years of war. and donald trump insisting you should be more grateful. you will allow the example to be right around the word beginning of the war, not in a good position. it was, you don't have to cards right now with us. yo

but at the moment it seems you have a white house refusing to commit to that despite lengthy diplomaticfforts over the course of this week. and you saw a president zelensky there, um, seemingly having to stand his ground. i mean, the people you speak to here in kyiv, we spoke us including putin himself, that russia is only ready to settle down this war if it happens in the way that russia deems best for russia. russia is happy to keep going, it still has the capacity to continue this. yes, by paying this enormous price of losing thousands of lives of its soldiers, but i think in putin's mind, the end still justify the means and is having to keep going but he is happy to keep going but he is happy to negotiate this piece with donald trump, especially if ukraine is going to be sidelined in the conversation, ukraine and he wrap, and this is how the situation is playing out right now i think.- is how the situation is playing out right now i think. from bbc russia. out right now i think. from bbc russia- it _ out right now i think. from bbc russia- it is _ out right now i think. from bbc rus

i'll just leave it up at the white house. all hours after that tense meeting at the white house and lensky told us media, he wants drum to be more on ukraine side just as just fire without security going into this so sensitive for all of people. i'm, i'm speaking like a president of people who are in this struggle 3 years and they, you just want to hear that american and our side and the america will stay with us the interactions with us. that's the ukrainians have been reacting to that exchange at the white house. here's what people in keep i'd have to say it's a form to provide or i'll just put another form. i just, i feel like this is a complete failure on the parts of us diplomacy, which is currently nothing. because basically for such a strong country, it's come from such a weak position and support a dictatorship as effectively the same is causing the feet of those. well, i just don't even know how to describe this. this is an idiotic policy that has been leading the us to decline. may think it was the us support is ver

when you come to the white house you have to show some respect.etrimental to ukraine. without donald trump and his ability to negotiate a peace deal which everyone should want, the bloodshed will continue the, the fighting will continue, the death will continue, everyone wants to see a end to this war and this conflict and when zelenskyy showed up yesterday it almost seemed like he had a chip on his shoulder, almost seemed like he was used to a different situation in the white house, not the same old thing, not joe biden, not kamala harris, it's donald trump and j d vance. they will make a deal that's going to end the war but it has got to be great for america as well and they didn't get to that place yesterday. it is a shame because everyone wants to see this conflict end but donald -- i think president zelenskyy only has himself to blame. >> it shows not everyone does want peace, not everyone wants to end the war. you look at zelenskyy, he doesn't want to end it, democrats were in his camp. a lot of people making money off of this war machine so

thank you so much from the white house. we appreciate you, yamiche, for that. let's go to breaking news now from overseas where ukrainian president zelenskyy just wrapped up a much different meeting with uk prime minister keir starmer. joining me once again and nbc's megan fitzgerald in london. megan, how different was the mood at ten downing street today compared to yesterday's meeting with trump? and did that contrast seem intentional? >> you know, i can tell you it was night and day. such a stark contrast. and it certainly did seem intentional. you know, it's not often that we see prime minister starmer actually walking out of the doors of ten downing street and going to meet there, his guest that's coming to see him. that's what we saw today. we saw a warm embrace in front of the cameras before the two leaders went inside, and they exchanged pleasantries. i mean, this is the moment where we saw the prime minister reaffirm support for ukraine until it's not needed anymore. i mean, he really expressed that, you know, he has a true ally in the united kingdom.

it's just part of the white house.ese legal efforts to try to impose some accountability and just transparency on it, like things like who runs dodge? we didn't even know that till a few days ago. to try to get inside that and figure out what they're doing. i'll be interested to see how that plays out, because as i said, it's set up in a way that would be deliberately slippery and hard to pin down and hard to understand. >> well, and despite all these mounting lawsuits that are stalling doj's cost cutting and the firings, musk is plowing ahead. i mean, he's going agency to agency. is there any way to slow his efforts or get out ahead of them? >> you know, not from outside the administration. you know, there have been times when we've seen agencies push back, like the pushback on the, you know, tell us what you did last week. email with some agencies said, don't respond. but you know, what they're doing now is putting those folks within these agencies and then having them carry out the cuts. and you saw from the meeting

i'll just see it up at the white hooks. we'll just alice off to that far amazing, and so landscape told us media had nothing to apologize for. instead of the specs, trump wants them to be move on ukraine side. it just says fire without security going into this so sensitive for all of people. i'm, i'm speaking like a president of people who are in this struggle 3 years and they, you just want to hear that americans know assigned, and america will stay with us. the interactions with us that see ukrainians have been reacting to that exchange between the 2 leaders. here's what some people in chief have been saying that from the law just from the former to this is a complete failure on the parts of us diplomacy, which is currently nothing such a strong country. and yet it's in a weak position and supporting and dictatorship. the us as basically cussing versus feeds of as soon as the author policy, those leading to the us decline was the us support is very important for us because it's money. and for us that's very important. we

nobody has seen something that contentious in the white house ever.he meeting went off the rails 40 minutes in, as a reporter asked president trump if he's aligning himself too much with vladimir putin. president trump responded he's trying to keep in the middle between ukraine and russia. and vice-president j.d. vance jumped in and wants to see diplomacy rule the dale and then president zelenskyy offered somewhat of a history lesson, calling him j.d., did the cease-fire violations about 25 to date and that's when president trump responded with this. >> you don't have the card right now. with us, you start having cards. >> not playing cards. >> and you're playing cards. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war iii. >> now, zelenskyy left the white house a short time later on trump's orders. the planned press conference and lunch were canceled and the mineral rights order was not signed which brought zelenskyy to washington. later on the report with bret baier, he said he wanted security guarantees included i

look at this bizarre statement from the white house attributed to an unnamed white house official. quote. tass was not on the approved list of media for today's pool. as soon as it came to the attention of press office staff that he was in the oval, he was escorted out by the press secretary. he is not on the approved list for the press conference. it's not on the approved list. i have no idea how he got in there to live stream for kremlin controlled state media. the president and vice president of the united states screaming at ukraine's president and berating him with russian talking points. we don't know how the kremlin got got in here. it was weird. he just wandered in. i mean, people do. it's a free country. people do just wander into the oval office. a very radical thing is happening in our country. it is not only radical in the sense that it is a large directional change, right? switching sides in a war now standing against our allies of the last 80 years, now siding with russia instead, i mean, no longer siding with the free world, now siding with the authoritarian governme
