something similar to the crimea situation of 2014 where we put the crimea situation out of the negotiationt the illegal attempt of its russian federation. we still believe and we still suggest in all formats and for back crimea is ukraine. all the temporary occupied territories of ukraine as to ukraine. however, under the russian temporary under occupation. we do not suggest we would abandon the territory as a whole. we think it's a long run, it will not be decided this year or next year thatis decided this year or next year that is why we need the cease—fire, we need this break in order to achieve security guarantees and in order to get our economy, ourarmed guarantees and in order to get our economy, our armed forces and our societal system in order. ., and our societal system in order, ., ., and our societal system in order. ., ., ., ,, order. say all that did happen and it was _ order. say all that did happen and it was left _ order. say all that did happen and it was left to _ order. say all that did happen and it was left to diplomatic l and it was left to diplomatic efforts when it

the whole thing back to collective defense goes back to the annexation of crimea. this huge shift in thinking in the alliance back from going away from crisis response operations to the core business basically of defense started in 2018, 2019. that has resulted in all these strategies and plans into things that have been agreed by the leaders. that is one. i think it's important to basically understand where this all started, it was because of russians, russian actions in 2008 in georgia, 2014 in crimea, 2022 in the whole of ukraine. it's not that nato started the war and all of the nonsense you here. if the russians were really afraid of nato, they would have responded completely different to the the acceptance of finland to the alliance. with a border of about 900 miles, they did not send one soldier to the border with finland, so nato is not a threat to the russians and they know it could this is about the fear of democracy. this is about them fearing democracy. because the people in ukraine are able to control their government, to make sure people can live the

regaining all of the territory including crimea. so i think this was, this would be the messiah really about terror tree. i think that when you trainings that they want the territory of detection back mean, of course, that's the internationally legally recognized right. but it's the best definition of it to me that i've ever heard this comes from general. now i'm positive solution, which is we have to win to such an extent that the russians don't come back. and i think a lot of people certainly out here in the east, the more important thing is, is that part is how do you, genuine me achieve a real piece. not just noticing the account on the very, to the rush, i can find re all installed again late. and i think that's what people see as low as that. if he gives territory a, the, an ocean view, it has to be more than don't boss and crimea, or the dana and the territories and crimea, because he started the full scale invasion, often having default to control these territories. so it's not clear why given him what territory would necess

so that means occupied crimea and ukraine has already been using attack comes in occupied crimea, as well as the blacks piece of the question is also how many attack gums are left. now the us didn't even draw on these attacks already drawn to them for the 1st time . and north korea offered long range from inside of studio show. all right, and now stuff on just as i mentioned, mentioned in a couple of weeks, 9 weeks to be exact. joe biden is going to be out of his job as president, will present electronic and do all of these policies. it now is it that is not definite, simply to say if you will, but of course he has already promised that he will go to town on the 1st day with revolting a lot of measures and executive orders, as well as policy issues. the binding ministrations implemented into it into policy here in america as well as abroad. so is, is it for sure that he will, is crunch that it permission to bind administration and was ration now gave? it's possible, but there is no proof that would be speculation on my part on anybody's part. actually to say this a definitively is im

and ukraine, international organizations, crimea is not going to be discussed ever again and whatnot,he problem with this great demand is that the west can only do so much, even trump who wants to end the war can only do so much. if putin refuses, it will start all over again, despite the fact he is cautiously optimistic or potentially optimistic that trump can bring results that are beneficial to russia to end this war. >> it's worth noting one of the first world leaders to congratulate trump was president zelenskyy, the second or third to call and congratulate him. in the meeting earlier this fall, in september, when the president was in new york, there is reporting coming out of that meeting that donald trump told him i promise you will be happy with me. there are reports among his camp, even ukrainians reporting that there is a sense of perhaps some optimism that president trump won't completely turn his back on ukraine. how is that viewed within russia? >> it is possible, one of the points we made at the start of this conversation, putin is cautiously optimistic, the kremlin does

year ago, ukraine fired which is applied storm shadow missiles at the black seve fleet in occupied crimeauntry that russia regards as sovereign rush in its territory since his occupation in 2014. the missiles destroyed a russian submarine and also to say really damage the headquarters of the black sea fleet and killed a lot of people and since then, ukraine has been gradually eroding russia's naval presence in crimea to the point now where, according to the british ministry of defence, that the black sea fleet, the pride of the russian navy, as we can read to russian imports much further it. in some ways, from moscow's point of view, the use of storm shadows is not necessarily a significant new roof but it is clearly part of an effort by ukraine was to enable ukrainian forces to hold that territory income the city. this is possibly a bargaining chip for negotiation that could take place sometime next year when donald trump takes office in washington. president biden's recent decision to send anti—personnel landmines to ukraine is drawing criticism from human rights orgnizations and anti—m

an adviser to donald trump's campaign says ukraine needs to acknowledge that it has lost crimea to russiarepublican strategist bryan lanza has said that ending the war is about saving lives — not winning back territory. the former—us house speaker has suggested president biden is partly to blame for the party's election defeat. nancy pelosi told the new york times democrats might have fared better had mr biden left the race sooner. police say a powerful explosion at a railway station in the western pakistani city of quetta has killed at least 25 people and injured dozens more. a militant group — the balochistan liberation army — said it carried out the bombing. now on bbc news — americast. hello, americasters. it's about 7pm on the east coast in america, i'm in windy florida, in the americast pop—up podcast studio. i came down here today to keep an eye on what might be happening in trumpland, but in fact, as it turns out, the news all came from harrisland as she gave a speech earlier today. while i concede this election, i do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign. cheering welc

i have to tell you that i heard a previous concession and the missiles are coming to kursk and crimea before. by the russian constitution, they have the same meaning and status. i would not worry much about escalation now. >> ambassador, do you buy into this theory that joe biden is now supplying all of this because he is trying to assist the ukrainians in their bid to hold onto kursk, and the idea that if there is a negotiation coming, have something to trade? >> i have no doubt that biden wants to do as much as he can for ukraine within the framework he has set up. he deserves credit for the substantial aid the united states has provided for ukraine, for rallying nato and partners in support of ukraine. i menoned the one serious weakness with his administration was the fact that they have been wary about sending more advanced weapons. it is important for eventual negotiations that ukraine retain kursk. i credit zelenskyy for that operation. it was very much in ukraine's interests despite some backdoor criticism coming from other capitals. it is important that they retain it. we don'

it currently doesn't control, which it had seized in ukraine, um, ukraine would have to recognise crimeaian. ukraine would have to give up hopes ofjoining nato. western sanctions would be scrapped. if that's the kind of, um, peace deal that's going to be on the table, i think ukraine would find that unacceptable. and i think there would be major concern in ukraine that, um, giving up so much territory would be a temporary thing, that at some point russia would come back for more. it's a very difficult situation, and certainly russia feels more confident at the moment because of military gains it's been making in eastern ukraine. russia feels confident, i think, because of the results of the us election, with donald trump coming back to the white house. ukraine is certainly under pressure. germany's centre left chancellor, olaf scholz, has had a pretty torrid time in office. when he parted with his finance minister over the issue of german money for ukraine earlier this month, his coalition effectively collapsed. there'll be a vote of confidence just before christmas, which mr scholz will

the first time he was president, you have to remember that at that time, after russia has annexed crimeao eastern donbas, the line — the policy from nato allies, including united states — was not to deliver lethal aid, not to deliver weapons to ukraine. it was president trump that changed that policy and started to deliver weapons to ukraine, including the javelins, the anti—tank weapons that proved so decisive, so important, especially at the beginning of the war. and people forget that, don't they? yeah. so i cannot promise or predict exactly what will happen. but i'm only saying that last time, actually, the trump administration stepped up the support for ukraine. until then, many allies were a bit afraid of that. the delivering weapons to ukraine was too provocative to russia. and that we need to, in a way, to try to prevent russia from, from being provoked and then go further. from being provoked and then go further. the reality was that i think if we had given more weapons to ukraine earlier, we may have prevented the full—scale invasion because then the cost for russia to invade w

to explorere the economic respoe to russia's annexation of crimea andd the invasion. they were caught very unaware and unprepared i would say there's not a deep bench of a russian expertise they were not expecting it. so when it happened there was reluctance to move ahead with the strong economic response a strong sanctions without having europe on board at that time as it was in 2022 very dependent on russia for particular oil and gas. that made the europeans quite reluctant to move ahead with strong economic penalties. i go into some the state department people including dan freak who is leading the sanctions o effort trying to persuade the europeans to get on board go into some of the back and forth about whether or not to hit russia with sanctions i remember this is a huge deal to impose sanctions on a russia we spent the previous 25 years trying to get them onboard. integrate them with the western economy. itig was a big big deal to sanction russia. but what they did end up imposing was what we now call targeted sanctions. i goto into the deliberations about how

lines are simply frozen, a pause and fighting like the one that followed russia's, annexation of crimea in 2014, the repercussions could be dire for ukrainian society without binding west and security guarantees. many here in ukraine, i'm convinced that in you, russian invasion would just be a matter of time preaching they say, hasn't given up when his goal controlling or this country. next time around, western countries might well be too busy with their own problems to come to key upside. this was me paused. ukraine finds itself without committed allies, the future looks like. and that scenario, millions of ukrainians were expected to vote with our fates and leave rather than risk losing everything that again. in the meantime to buy an administration has tried to trump proof, much with the aid earmarked for ukraine. making sure its sent before the new administration takes office. now let's dig a little deeper into the decision making process in the us public folder. in the as pablo i, a 1000 days of war, what's now changed when it comes to supporting your crime? well, as we know, presi

so, so there is no popular support unless you ethnically cleanse the entire crimea peninsula. there's a, there's no way that that, that is ever going to be part of your brain damage and, and there is no way that rusher will allow that to happen. it's the home of the other uh there, please that you're black um, black sci fi fleet. it's there been there for one over 200 years and they're only warm water port strategically. it is to bible of interest for, for russia. it's, it's, yeah, it's perhaps you finally waking up to reality that it will never be part of your brain. and yet there are reports about ukrainians fleeing from recruitment officers. we've seen videos in fact that well, other military judgment are abducted off the streets, pushing the buses and sent to the front lines. what does it tell you about the state of things for kids, when it comes to the conflict? i think it's, it doesn't show a good sign at all and, and they're facing a huge um of the shortage of manpower services. uh theres discussions of even lowering the conscription age even more and including women as

you say should ukraine be able to take back crimea?t home for the american people, if mexico said we want texas back. texas is america. if the government took parts of texas, would you react to one of our allies saying you need to keep it? >> we do not live in the 1990s. if america doesn't choose, if america doesn't prioritize, a dangerous world will end up with the united states -- >> you would let mexico keep part of texas? >> we could handle mexico. >> texas, watch out. >> mike is going to let the ground go. >> let the ground go in pursuit of china. mike needham, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> later, we will look at the trump agenda on the hill with swalwell and ryan. you're watching the weekend. r. you're watching the weekend. have you ever considered getting a walk-in tub? well, look no further. proudly made in tennessee, a safe step walk-in tub is the best in it's class. the ultra-low easy step helps keep you safe from having to climb over those high walled tubs, allowing you to age gracefully in the home you

for example, they have said that crimea is gone. do you agree with their approach?approach? do you agree with their auroach? ~ ~' approach? well i think, you know, there _ approach? well i think, you know, there are _ approach? well i think, you know, there are two - approach? well i think, you know, there are two very i know, there are two very important things here. this is notjust important things here. this is not just about territory. and bits and pieces and who should lay claim to what. it is really about sovereignty. there is a principle at stake here that you should not invade other countries and simply claim other territories. that is against international law and we need to be clear that that is recognised. secondly, i think, you know, we ought to be clear that how a peace settlement is devised, it is in the end for ukraine, it is ukrainians who are losing their lives day in, day out, in defending their frontiers. lives day in, day out, in defending theirfrontiers. it is for ukraine to decide exactly what kind of times on which the war should end. and perh

, in september of last year, the ukrainians fired storm shadow missiles at the black sea fleet in crimeaby russia since 2014, and regarded by moscow as sovereign territory. they they did huge damage to the headquarters of the black sea fleet and wrecked one of their key submarines. so, helping ukraine to force the black sea fleet to relocate entirely from sevastopol. so, it's been an important part of ukraine's toolkit for more than a year. the missiles destroyed a russian submarine that had been dragged out there and severely damage the headquarters of the black sea fleet and because a lot of people are systemic, ukraine has been gradually eroding russia pose a naval presence crimea to the point where now, according to the british minister of defence, that black sea fleet, the pride of the russian navy, is now confined to operating from russian ports much further east. in some ways, from moscow's point of view, the use of storm shadow is not necessarily a significant new move but it is clearly part of an effort by ukraine's allies to enable ukrainian forces to hold onto that territory,
