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. it's mostly, i mean, you know, once you've got 5, all here is what our chief political editor and unit can we say like you've made of masses words. well, we are expecting a speed. some daddy vans that will not just map out towards the united states is planning on ukraine, but potentially also criticized the political spectrum here in germany and europe. we already saw in on mosque who doesn't really have an official outside role for the united states, essentially in to see here in germany as the cool on german voters to vote for the fall. right. a if the policy in elections that are happening and just over a week's time here in germ

and we'll hear from j d vans the deputy president who is going to lay out his vision. so many people easily following that officer. an interview that he gave way essentially took 2 very important negotiating aspects of the table. and the people are asking themselves why he did that. essentially saying that need to membership for you train. so a security framework policy for you create for the future is not going to be part of these negotiations. and also that you train must be prepared to give up some of its territory. now that is something that goes completely against what the previous us government wanted for ukraine. and he also, in this interview, spelled out his idea that european leaders who listen to essentially more populous parties, he uh, is interfering in the gemini election campaign. in this interview. people are asking themselves, is he going to do the same thing again? he around the big stage. and is he going to endorse the fall? right? a is the parents here in germany were 9 days away from the election that would have significant impact in mosque has alr

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

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, you have at least the next 4 years and not only change the relationship.

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 have been struck. so any claims that this was the case or not true, the russian military do not do this.

, evolving and of course uh this week we have the munich security conference and we were told by j d. vans. so ukraine is top of the list. those are a lot of different things going on at the same time. how, what do you make of it is a set of minds reduction. i think this liberal order is coming to a get a n n good written spine. it does, it's not democratic, it doesn't support people's rights, it doesn't support workers. that's pretty sure um, but something we see something leaving. what is arriving? go ahead, david, as well, you know, there's been a lot of debate on the right on the left about exactly what is going on in this country. um, i was speaking with alexander, duke and earlier this week, and he believes that there is a conservative revolution. that's happening in america. others think that it's a white supremacist revolution that's happening. what i'm actually concerned about is the take over by these tech oligarchs that seem to have captured the republican party for the interest of silicon valley. and frankly, for the interest of israel 1st, not necessarily america 1st. and thes

j. d vans. so i think that instead of just giving military aid, they want to see something coming back from ukraine. this is how the trump administration is framing it. all right, theresa fallon, thanks so much for joining us. on al jazeera, we really appreciate it. thank you. the protective shell that covers the destroyed reactor at the turn oval nuclear power plant has been damaged in an apparent drone strike. ukraine has blamed russia, the kremlin has called the obligations of provocation and says the russian military doesn't attack nuclear infrastructure. the international atomic energy agency says radiation levels that the, the commission plant remain normal and stable. you as president, donald trump is a noun.

j. d band is expressed criticism of europe. vans said that he is seeing a retreat of free speech in europe. he said, one can not win democratic mandates by silencing opposing voice. you're watching the w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope to see you then the we would never compromise upon equal rights or take the opportunity to upgrade your cation for rights. and he quit opportunity of work in 2024. ask them women stop down with a ton of a unique insight into the struggle. the sharp edge of peace thoughts much set on dw the earth beneath us is.

j. the van struck at a very different tone, right. the j d. vance, we were hoping perhaps we'd hit more of the ukraine piece plan, the donald trump piece time for you try we didn't, we had changed events saying that he wants to focus on the enemy with it. and then that me states, i think, pretty big attack on european nations say that they was censoring of their own population. they weren't allowing free speech, they were cracking down. and what you said was this, what, what they say is this information. and he said was just that populations right to say and the thing that they want and he said that right should be respected. so on the crating fall, nothing new from vance, but i think it, it adds, i think, to be on the use that exists here in munich, particularly among the european allies about that relationship with the united states. let's discuss this further without dispos rasmussen, he is the former secretary general of nato. he's the former prime minister of denmark. how would you describe the atmosphere here in munich? well, in munich,

the old tendency for germany, which of course, in most, who a j van schools are mentioned in the speech has vocally supported our j d. events has not gone so far as vocally supporting day after you are explicitly doing that, that would 6, i think, be seen as crossing a very doc red line. but, but between the lines is an implication of that. i think what's gonna be really interesting is to see how the conservatives and mainstream conceptions here in germany respond to that. so if we don't use mat who is here this weekend, he's the manager is likely to be the next child. so he's the, the lido, who's likely to have to deal with that from administration in the future. he has been pushing for a tougher line on migration. he's been making that a major plank of his campaign in recent weeks. but at the same time, he's been insisting that he would never work with the a f t. the alternative for germany policy saying that the so called firewall which, which kind of stands between the older establish parties and the a f. the is it that will remain intact? we had j events explicitly saying in his speech that essentially that 5 w

j d. vast me. any speech on this, the ground in a long message inside the inside. so why van speech met? that is, that's what, that's exactly what you asked me. and he said that for 18 years, america has been the heck pendulum on over europe for the gaze that made us the defenders of liberties of the america. he said, and the democratic, the other one, somebody over the advice of the safety is our role. their roles became something very different. the 80, it's our state, the bar month. so their priorities then promoting the global as the agenda rather than products in west, tennessee believes, civilization, that means, but that means man probably get some sizing mice, immigration. we know over everything else from easement, that thing free speech to make sure nobody could complain about it. it meant shutting down at any point because the far too that tried to stand against it. and meanwhile, the leaks in our defense establishment through headlines and route through on the 1980s. for a few of you. they crave wires, this is the good news with russia united did use or were you surprised tha
