j. d. van sends shock waves through munich security conference, and under the same being that you have some great distract hummers from. we then use also coming up and rebel fighters in the democratic republic of congo. enter the 2nd biggest city after government forces withdrawn, congo is present, anxious to katy warns of the risk of a wider war. plus a mazda announce is which of these really hostages. it's due to release on saturday . the 3 men were abducted from the same cub boats. on october 7, 2023. the and a warm welcome to you, our viewers around the world, michael ocho. western invaders gather every year in germany to discuss international security policy. and with war raging in europe, again, due to russia's invasion of ukraine. the agenda of this year is in units security conference seem pretty clear from the start. the top us official this year is vice president j d events. in his performance on the opening day on friday, he relegated the ukraine war to a cameo role and took the

j. d vons met the leader of the far right. a if the policy in a hotel wasn't invited to the meeting security conference, he made a point that, that the firewall at this refusal to work with the fall rights in germany with at least by the data of the a. if the is something he is completely against and that is interference in the elections, that's also how the leader of the opposition and the potential feature tons to release mass, put it when i spoke to him, we should be hearing from german transel all of charles within the next 90 minutes or so. what do you expect? well this is the interesting thing um the tanza and his rifle in these elections. they're on the same page on this. the wedding was very similar that came from for these math and science that with us hold. so we sent an ex post who gave an interview last night. and so he wrote to speech and it will be very interesting to hear how far he goes in rejecting this. but he is still in government. he also has to work with this administration for the coming weeks, and they

u in the soft bite of the head a j d man's reminded us that the former european commissioner, mister terry. but it's all very simply said on d z n seems very delighted that the romanian government cast of the elections. and he warned that the same thing could happen in germany was mentioned, the us vice president is heading washington's delegation up thing. and so let's, and while there, he held a meeting with the f. these candidates for chancellor alice vidal gd pounds, also reportedly set up a meeting with income. but later on, up show, think he's on the way out in about berlin's defense minister admitted germany can provide you frame with any guarantees with thoughts, american involvement. we haven't get of determined skeptical abilities in the european and the european they've made a member of that means without the u. s. determines capabilities. we won't be able to achieve that security guarantees in ukraine, at least for the next years to come, not alone. while alternative for germany, party member and former m a peek on or back, say burling today is all about a colony of washin

paul: j. d. vance said in a twitter post that ukraine has lost the war innocence and needs to understand that reality, desired to cut a piece deal. is that the reality on the ground in ukraine? >> the key point is russia has not won this war. when it was going in it wanted to take all of ukraine, wanted political control of ukraine. they haven't been able to claim the country. the fight is very much in play. it will depend on western backing. i don't think ukraine has lost the war. paul: the key point for ukraine is, is there a credible security guarantee that europe and the united states can provide ukraine? the real essence of what a good deal would look like? >> ukraine, as the guarantee for peace in the future, if it thinks that because of the past more random when they gave up their nuclear weapons and the us and the uk and russia get security guarantees. russia has violated that promise pretty much every opportunity it has gotten since then. they want something more. might not be nato membe

any speech of the munich security conference j. d. vans did level to allay yorba spheres. his main focus was not ukraine. instead, use your being countries of suppressing free speech. instead, the main threat, so you're up is not russia, but you're of itself. the threat that i worry the most about visa, the europe, is not russia, it's not china, it's not any other external actor. and what i worry about is the threat from within the retreat of europe, from some of its most fundamental values value shared with the united states of america, your j events and speech. you think silk way through your i brought a strong response from germany. these are they will cut to democracy, was called into question by the us, vice president for the whole of your body. i can just as he speaks of the, in my elation of democracy, democracy and def. i understood incorrectly. he's comparing conditions in pots. if you end up with those, no authoritarian regimes, ladies and gentlemen, that is not acceptable, accept all the delegates of the munich security conference, always expected the trump admi

american, vice president j. d. vance. and yet, on the other hand, he must, he must reinforce, i think, to some degree, the defensive trans atlantic and unity walk me through the delicate nature of this speech. we're about to hear. yes, i think what you have to think about on the one hand is that both j, the vance, and off sholtes, also talking to the domestic audiences. so the speech yesterday by the u. s. vice president was nothing and not only directed at the european spa adults as his own supporters into united states. he said as much in his speech on and off charlotte's a outgoing tron so that we have to say we're having elections here. and then just under a, just over a week's time. and he will also be in some sense, speaking to his public, to his voters against the background of some of these upcoming elections. so the question is, what kind of position do you take in that situation? you can just simply be statesman like and then they can all the domestic situation . i think that's the kind of binds that here is in

it is literally like j. d events. jumps vice president for say, say well i, i have to admit that we do have some problems with the german media as well. so because we have more and more freaking spaces in the public regarding a mainstream versus a different opinions. but we have this in the last few years, not just a, it's a batch. actual situation regarding is why post time we had this 3 years, ongoing war against different opinions regarding the war and ukraine. every one who was in favor of negotiations stopped to kill the people and doesn't matter. ukrainian or russian stopped the killings at age of war. uh and to have peace. and usually everyone was defend as primitive party brendan puppets. up to 2 assets and so on. and especially, oh, apache, because a b, s, w, a is out of boxes. your lives was founded. i mean, we split from the left party because they did leave all the positions on peace and they were in favor about some of them are off, but for deliveries to your brit. and they waited and are still in

and this is how us vice president j. d vance today described his boss, us president donald trump, the new sheriff. he didn't take this cal boy analogy further during his speech at the unix security conference, we were left to assume that europe in the us represent some version of the wild west it yes, there is a war and eastern ukraine, but it remains a flash point. any fragile but still very established rules based international order. definitely not. the wild west. european leaders may worry that trump's foreign policy will assure, in an error of tumbleweed turmoil. the picture vice president vance and ukrainian president zalinski delivered today, tells us that these allies are still very much invested in a world void of high noon showdown. a. we had a number of fruitful conversations, a number of things for us to follow up and work on. and fundamentally, the goal is, as the president trump outlined it, we want the war to come to a close. we want the going to stop, but we want to achieve a durable lasting piece. not the

david is now we just had a j. d bounces the next step from gd alonso speech, as well as the response from predict minutes. we've had defense minister german defense, mr bar as the story is hitting back end of describing those comments as unacceptable . how would you assess the stage of the trans atlantic relationship at this moment as well? we're certainly in the unchartered waters. i mean, we've had serious tensions across the atlantic before it feels like ancient history . but if you remember back to the early, 2, thousands and the brought off to the invasion of a rock. there is serious anti americanism in europe and serious disagreements within the alliance about how to approach that conflict. but this is different because this is a percept perception by europe that united states is actually meddling in ensure your opinion, affairs, and domestic politics inside europe. so this is certainly different, i worry that this particular aspect of it, the, the perceived interference by europe will actually drive a real we

you as vice president j. d vance is among those attending and is meeting with nato leader mark richard high on their agenda as president donald trump's plan to end the war in ukraine. trump says he has spoken to rush as lot of me and route and then agree to start piece talks. the move has alarm leaders in europe and ukraine, with many were the us and russia and to settle the conflict without input from keith. bands is also set to meet with you brains will let them. here is the lensky to discuss the so called peace plan. munich, all eyes are now on the europe's role, and the ongoing prizes. a new grain with tension is rising. some key figures are already shaping expectations for what lies ahead. here's what the man who stepped to become germany's next chancellor had to say yesterday, a jump yesterday he buys. i've gotten some early indications of what vice president j. d vans will say. it will be a confrontational speech and i very much hope that the chancellor is prepared also in coordination with his partners

and we begin with the us vice president's speech in munich, j. d. vance. today until they room full of european defense and government leaders . that free speech is in retreat. and there are countries at the munich security conference advance claim that freedom of expression is being eroded and he called it a bigger threat to democracy than russian military aggression. he also addressed the issue of migration saying that europeans had not voted to open what he called the flood gates to mike vance. his speech was one of the 1st keynote addresses at the security conference. and he comes at the end of a remark, the week where he was president, donald trump spoke on the phone with russian president vladimir putin, both leaders promising to work together to end a more in ukraine. european leaders fear that this will be done without ukrainian or european input vision. or many of those who were gathered in munich would have been hoping that the vice president can shed some light on donald trump's plans for a negotiated fees in ukraine. instead, they got a lecture

this is dw news, live it from berlin, us vice president, j. d. vance gives european allies a stern talking to on democracy in britain and across europe. free speech i fear is in retreat in a cover band expansions in unix security conference, vance slammed european leaders for what he calls and running in fear of their own voters. speeds comes from a growing concern over the future of us foreign policy. also coming up from off the announce is which of these rarely hostages. it's due to release on saturday. the 3 men were abducted from the same cookbooks on october 7th, 2023. the library golf is good to have you with us. we begin with the us vice president, speech in munich, j. d. vance today told a room full of european defense and government leaders. that free speech is in retreat in their countries at the munich security conference vance claim, the freedom of expression is being eroded and you called it a bigger threat to democracy than russian military aggression. he also address the issue of migration, saying europeans had not voted to open w

that however, j. d balance reports, at least not to amazing with incumbent laugh schultz saying the gym and trying to level send info to out any way. the country's defense minister who probably wouldn't be staying in office either is why using the alarm about washington's reluctance to keep feeling the war. we haven't get of the terran skeptical abilities in the european and the european. they've made a members. that means without the u. s. the tenants capabilities, we won't be able to achieve that security guarantees in ukraine, at least for the next years to come, not alone alternately, if the germany party meant the bag stays, the upcoming governments in berlin will eventually be forced to play alone with washington's interests. the roman government doesn't understand any. see the midst of the story. use it. his one statement is a rad. display of realism. a common sense. uh, we don't hear anything like that. somebody shows, but this government does history. it will be a new, a government teacher on t

he heard the speech by j. d. vance. he knows he can see the writing on the walls and his days are numbered. but what's really amazing is will that president pushing the father to meet with him? i mean, he is an illegitimate president after all, to cancel the elections in ukraine case. he's no longer the legitimate president, but yet she's making these statements as if he is. so it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. but right now the piece talks are happening without your trade. between the us and the options. you can raise a very interesting point. elections, how be postponed. even the ukraine's biggest ally is saying, elections have to happen now. so a lot of them are putting could very well say, yes, you want to meet, but are you, the real leader of the country? have a vote in c. well there you have it because i mean, let's look at the documents. whatever documents are signed in a piece agreement have to be legitimate. and if he's the illegitimate president, how can they come to an agreement that they can

no mentors from vice president j. d van stuff in munich, security conference for europe and officials are swallowing harsh criticism from the train, their democratic values. also, the trump put into separate leaves, europe, in a panic. as of the leaders scramble to be included in the negotiations. if you got at least the next 4 years and not only change the relationship between the us and other countries, but also the relationship between all countries. let's not be deer caught in the headlights, the, you're watching r t international live in moscow. i'm rachel rubel. we start with breaking news. moscow says cube is attempting to frame russia for our ukrainian drones, right? on turnover. this comes just a day after the russian and american presidents agreed the sake of p still on ukraine. the international atomic energy agency confirmed a blast. i think they found nuclear side overnight. the problem on has called, they attacked a provocation. most of the teachers, there is no way that any nuclear infrastructure could ha

although j. d bounce did say that it was fruitful. i thought, of course, came off to j. d. phones gave that fire respect to the security. conflicts essentially criticize a little aspects of europe, including saying it was more treating the way you from it's fundamental values is talking there about freedom of speech. now, did that did not go to well here in music. in fact, people didn't know whether to clap at the end of taking phones to speech. she had also said there is a new sheriff in time that, of course, isn't donald trump administration in the united states at the moment, giving a sense yes, again that the us will go alone in its own course regarding this. now we've also been hearing some response to that from olaf shaw sees the gym and chancellor talking about the fact that you know, yes, this is a bit difficult moment. but jeff, many of the us is still strong allies in use talking about the fact that regardless of what happens with us, jimmy will still look to try and give emergency funding to choir. and he talks about the fact that jenny's doing everything, a to

so for example, j. d events got up at the a i summit in paris with french president, emmanuel. and michael and queen ursula vander lined the president of the european commission, both of the audience and he started talking about you over regulation in his estimation of digital digital realm. and then he segue it into speaking about the use sensor shift of the digital realm under the guise of controlling misinformation. and while he was saying that, i remember watching in the camera pans, and michael and also to vander line. and they were kind of looking around kind of like 2 dogs, sewage just, you know, destroyed the couch cushions and were a little bit worried that they might be getting a walk on the nose with the guy with the newspaper. and i got the newspaper was j d that standing there, i'm marching them over that and he actually went on to do it yet again on that same topic. and more few days later, at the munich security conference, tablets of the threat that i worry the most about visa, the europe is not russia. it's not china, it's not any other external actor. and what

j. d. events recently criticized the country for knowing the results of its presidential election, lost it off the georgia school top. the pope you don't have shared values if you cancel elections because you don't like the result. and that happened in romania. you don't have, you do not have shared values. if you're so afraid of your own people that you'd silence them and shut them up. so what's have shared values. let's defend default democracy. let's have 3 expression, not just in the united states, but all over the west of the world. that is the path to strong alliances in europe . menus or administer is in sense though, but these statements lashing out to the trumpet administration, saying this is a form of interference. who says, no that's i can say now about must that he is an american official tied to supporting the ideas of certain people. former candidates, we don't know if they'll run again. clearly, mister musk said he agreed with mister george eskew, who wants to band source i

many new leaders have rejected the us mice, president's criticism of democracy on the consummate j. d. events coded the question of how the countries a government. so can europe still count on washington? this is inside story, the hello welcome to the program. i'm adrian finnegan. a rift appears to be developing between europe and it's long time i live the united states, us vice president j. d events. strong delegates at the security conference in munich when he lectured europe on what he described does its retreat from free speech and shared values. his comments have been widely denounced as middle some of the unacceptable. so where does this leave transatlantic relations built up over the decades of to world war 2? and how could you respond to a reversal of washington's isolationist stance towards the workshop? we'll get to those questions in a moment, but 1st a report from michael after when you it's vice president, katie von took the podium at the munich security conference. he just i hope that's not the last bit of applause that i get, but we, we gather it was so now he struck a

we us, vice president j. d. vance has taken a at that firewall saying the time is come to take it down. and you on mosque has been boosting the a f d on x and backing it in a german newspaper. at the heart of this debate, the question does engage with extremist views risk legitimize income, and is if german voters don't have enough to think about. there's another international player in the next russia, it's contribution consists of this information to take barely 2 months after taking power. the trump administration has turned its motor software rand, planting the seeds of chaos in a democracy, into an american export. i'm going to cuss pizza president hood, i'm an auntie over p show, david pops mid foster gnostics, autism id, the vice president j. d. vance went to germany one week before a national election there and scolded its leaders for a reckoning, a political fire wash between their parties and the far right alternative for germany and refusing to consider sharing power with the a f d. he said that in t

mister trump, mister kellogg, j d events, they all would be saying something different. instead, we hear such a war is terribly costing lives and it's a stalemate. it is not still. so let me just see, i would tell you is a search, tell me the news that we get a budget in mainstream. i'm not talking about alternative media. i'm not talking about cheerleaders for russian. i'm talking about mainstream information. so you went to a look essentially, i've noticed that you have to, and of course we know talk a call soon within the white house in the past few days, we know his views and of you booting and as being continuously talking about how the narratives in the media are available to american citizens, left alone, the in the totality area and european union way. you where it's banned, talk about the nazis of ukraine, where archie is. i understand is banned where you are. the twitter is banned in the european union. don't allow w o where you are in brussels to receive information. perhaps even that, like the new york times is now printing. and you wouldn't be allowed to rea

we're following for you this hour at the munich security conference, us vice president j. d. events has expressed of criticism of europe. band said he was seeing a retreat of free speech here. the said one cannot win democratic mandates by silencing a thursday of next year on the news. it's to the point of asking a billionaire and spar taking over the united states government. i'm terry martin for me and all of us here in the the, [000:00:00;00] the dw, to show the strong, clear positions international perspectives. like every week we get to the point on our current topic. but we don't, some of your current actually, well controversial, committed to the point next on d. w. saving our so much of germany's farm land is depleted and needs help. young farmers are answering the calls and experimenting with new props. sustainable practices and ecological diversity. or in 45 minutes on the w, the stupidest thing about the career and a virus crisis. it's the smallest and we just get their asses kicked. we also want to go back to work and now are women after 4 months of this forced t

the 14th of february, when j. d vance made that famous speech, the munich secured a conference, a provoking the chairman of the conference to burst into tears. what a war leader he be. as you know, i also want to do it as a, a personal adam, but when it comes to hostility towards trump and attempt to just put the spokes in his wheels at any cost. yes, it is. and i'd love to be a fly on the wall when large beach, armando she and starkey or summer square and do donald trump's office in the next few days about tip the secure to let them in. but the reality is that the british, i'm not going to move donald trump and therefore we'll have to decide whether to be or get off the boat. because uh, if you want to go have a war, not just would love to me and put a book with donald trump at the same time. i mean, i've had the awards on 2 fronts, but that's up particularly for a long one with a country that has only 87007 soldiers who i also want to talk to about, i mean the elections, it's clear now coming folks from the us and

held in garza to be released on saturday and returned. israel will release 369 palestinian prisoners a d j needs the largest exchange so far. the threat that i worry the most about piece of the europe is not russia. it's not china, it's not any other external actor. and what i worry about is the threat from within us vice president, the rights european volumes and a speech at the conference and unix looking to reshape global security. or wandering by 1023 rebels is a crucial airport edging closer to south keepers capital in eastern democratic republic of congo. the landscaping city is rich heritage of music. a life is the country tries to move on from its repressive past. and in support. i was going olympic presence homeless, bank sounds a willing to his successor. there are political neutrality is a, is a key. how would you say are the olympics will be at risk if politics into face with decision making? the how much sudden palestinian islamic jihad have named 3 is really captives housing, gaza? we're going to be released on saturday as part of the cx. 5 deal. the arctic sound, a truant of

i've gotten some early indications of what vice president j d vans will say. it will be a confrontational speech and i very much hope that the chancellor is prepared also in coordination with his partners in the european union to give a european not a german, but a european answer on that. i know it will be a very, very important day and will remember this security conference in 2025 for a very long time. it will have consequences as mostly, i mean, you know, once you've up to $5.00 and $4.00, we can bring in w as political corresponded, hands, blonde, who's with me in the studio for this special coverage funds. we just saw a free like match the he's talking about this security conference, definitely having consequences. what, what kind of consequences could it be talking about as well. there are expectations from the speech by the us, vice president a j d events. the a chapman of the munich security concept for conference, the coast of high school and has mentioned in interviews recently that the united states might be talking about withdrawing some of the tr

and i've told the j d events. speech which you heard here. the other took place on friday was the reason present. savanski decided to change the school the way that had upset people across europe and now wants to use it perhaps to unite your affinity is, how was that seen by those? like you for a ministers that other dignitaries from your that speech of a know it's no the question less than that. i'm not going to speculate any more. but i want to ask you about how, how useful that speech will start helpful. is that the way allies should talk to each other all the, the fates of, uh, your applies in ukraine, if it, if fortune come, because ukraine would be in trouble. so the presence of lensky has the moral authority to, to, to talk about it, to laid out as it is. and um, we should riley around him irrespective of what anybody else that's come back to you kind of of just, just on, on, on relations between the us and europe. i mean, we are having threats from the trumpet, ministration, terrace and the trump administration. and the lines like you
