earlier i spoke to a ukrainian member of parliament about how the trump administration's announcementseceived. there is uncertainty in the messaging we have heard from the u.s. in this trump administration on whether the u.s. views ukraine as an equal partner in peace negotiations. how are ukrainians feeling about that? guest: 48 hours ago when we first heard the news about the conversation between donald trump and putin and that concession between trump and zelenskyy, we have been very much disappointed with how things were going. this comment by trump, who basically refused to answer the question that he sees ukraine as an equal partner, that caused an outrage in kyiv and ukraine in general. in public we are left alone. it felt like we are on the table, not at the table. people started feeling bad today when we heard other statements from jd vance at the munich conference. they seem to have retracted from their initial position and seem to insist that ukraine's interests will be taken into account. that is a positive development. are still cautious about what we are witnessing. host:

africa and soldiers were killed during recent, fighting in the democratic republic of congo, members of parliament want to know why. so that's what it is involved in the conflict disclosure. my fear is simply this, that we're going want to peacekeeping miss, you know, we are not, we're going to want to come back new soon with no equipment with no supplies. and the young people are being too big in january for want them back to m 22 levels. these go my, the country's largest city in the east for wandering president pul, cuz i me denies back to me in 23. last week, my lobby's president lazarus to clara, ordered his ministry to withdraw from eastern democratic republic of congo. some. so that's a good name please. one big country to do the same. i have yet another one. remember they were most withdrawal. and some of them had said, we must do it to now i want to say that just are probably through us as part of one by some in the house is look, isn't, are typically going to be 3 interviews. and it was, that is the end of the was installation of fighting in more than a decade has killed thousands of peo

our political correspondent leila nathoo has been he's been a member of parliament since 2005. 's currently a... a health minister under keir starmer�*s government going to be coming out it says, the paper says it's had access to thousands of messages, between him and various councillors and it highlights a few of them that have incredibly offensive minister, angela rayner. and that he has been sacked. so the paper had approached the labour party and downing street before publishing this, and they have made it clear that they acted as soon as they heard about this, and also suspended him from the labour party pending an investigation. he will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards as he has in this case. these comments made in this whatsapp group, are found to have breached the high standards expected of them. keen to draw a line under this very quickly and take this action as you say. already in his government. he's lost a transport secretary. tulip siddiq, his former city minister, had to stand so definitely unwelcome news for the pr

little i didn't cape town, natalie for was a political analyst and formed a member of parliament for the amc on the president, nelson mandela. welcome to you, will melanie? let's start with you. is humanitarian aid being with an i isd by the trump administration? oh yes, clearly it is because, you know, we are a sovereign nation. we are a democratic nation and we have to ride shortly to determine some of our domestic conferences. but what makes us even more troubling is the fact that it's concrete table based on voltage. and, and it's completely arbitrary, and there has been no expropriation of land in south africa since 1994. of course there was lots got reformed expropriation from colonial times. and under a package there has been 0, compensate postal code, any form of expropriation or profit, climbed in south africa since 1994. and it would have been one of the most popular things for the end to government to have done more if they wanted to. but they didn't, they chose not to. so it is just completely an attorney falls and i'm sure some of the other kids will show it to today to

so he's not being able to actually to the entire kind of way, the members of parliament, the teacher behind the. and so what those are do think that's the change to be very emotional and you know, the doesn't it can be stalled. so we've got the teen mediation and i think that needs to be some pre shopping, put on the critics, you kid. and i think this this way, southern africa and south africa in particular. have cool felix richard. katy too old. yes. because you're ultimately what ever you want, james. this can only be solved one way through mediation, teasing, regional, and dislike to doing the like to get and around the table, teaching the mediators, kenya, and then go, let's really to get to the wanda and um, can shop around one table and solve african psychics influence being kinshasa has to be that has to, they have to turn the caps close and, and forced you to get into the tables. because i think ultimately he is at the moment, not being he's got, i meant this week and he is weak and receive. the emotive response is coming from him. and i don't think that is helping because th

of laws that had been written by private actors outside the system before he assumed power. and so when he came into office, he began shoveling these laws through his compliant parliament. and the members of parliament didn't really know what they were enacting. and so by the time i think everybody figured it out, three years into orban's regime, he had captured virtually all of the independent institutions. he had also rewritten the election law, and there was no way any opposition force had the toehold, the resources or the organization to actually ever oust him from power. so what we're seeing now in the u.s. is exactly this kind of thing. and i must say, you know, what's interesting is that people still think that you lose democracies with tanks in the streets. and what i keep saying is, no, you lose, you lose. your undermine it by law. >> so that's really interesting. i am telling you that i hate to go back to the nazi era. i don't want to bring up hitler. it turns a whole number of people off, but i cannot help but be struck by what joseph goebbels said after they seized power as they were seizing power from a democracy. he said the big joke on democracy is that it gives its mort

it doesn't matter who the minister is or who the member of parliament is. >> i know, but final questionis, because i do want to get on to housing. it's really important to the gb news audience, but from what we know already, barring an investigation, doesn't it suggest to you we've got misogyny, we've got racism, we've got anti—semitism, and we've got anti—semitism, and we've got anti—semitism, and we've got wishing a constituency dead, a constituent dead. this man has no place in parliament. that must be your natural instinct. it's my instinct. >> and i don't think i can be any clearer than i have been, camilla, that that language is completely unacceptable. >> so he shouldn't be in the house of commons for a minute longer. he should be permanently expelled from the labour party and expelled from parliament. that's what most people watching and listening to this will be thinking right now, mr pennycook. >> i'm not they and i can understand why they would be thinking that. i'm not going to prejudge or predetermine that investigation that has just taken place overnight. >> let's get on t

members of parliament actually, a member of parliament once got up and said with all of this opinion being formed and all of this news being out there, we don't even have a job anymore. why do why? why do we need a parliament when we have all of these people being empowered with ideas? but of course, it doesn't quite work out that way. there's a famous philosopher named today and. he was he was kind of a founder. the idea of sociology. he was also the late 19th century. he said the work of and he said all kinds of people were getting information. but he was particularly on journalism. he said the work of journalism has been to nationalize more more and even to internationalize the public mind. and he also said one pen suffices to set off a million tongues. and his idea that society was being held together by this public opinion and we've talked about this how how people come to cities, how newspapers start how newspapers become the glue for what becomes the the way people relate to one another. it provide it provides a context for living, especially in a city in cities where people a

now we're hearing from a ukrainian member of parliament who says that sarkisian was taken to a hospitalicu where he later died. but as you mentioned, when you take a look at the images that are coming out of the scene here, you can see just how intense that bomb really was. he was in the basement, and you can see the doors of the lobby just blown off windows around it, blown off. a large police presence. the russians believe that this was an assassination. they are trying to dig into who orchestrated this. but to give you some background of this guy, i mean, this is someone that ukrainian officials have called a crime boss who operated in the donetsk region of ukraine. so that is the eastern part of the country that is largely controlled by russia. ever since 2014, he's accused by the ukrainians of starting this pro-russian military arm and also supplying military aid and weapons to these illegal groups. now, the ukrainians have been contacted about this. they have not commented on it. but again, the russians believe this was an assassination and they are trying to figure out who's behi

ready for any format of negotiations. >> joining me now live from kyiv is kira rudik, a member of the ukrainian parliament and leader of the golos political party. kira, thank you so much for joining us. where is the negotiation room for president zelenskyy then? when in the past, it's always been russia has to get out. that's the only option we need to win this war. >> hello, max, and thank you so much for having me. well, we see that political situation changes. and. president is trying to get the best future for ukraine that is currently possible. we understand that it is not our wish to have any like, uh, agreement with putin because we know that he will break it. but of course, the main goal of ukraine is to continue as a state and to protect our people. when president is talking about this, any discussions with putin, the main question still remains the same. this question is who or what will make sure that russia would not attack us again and that they will actually go with any part of the deal that they will sign up to. because what we have seen in the past, and these are facts that in 2014, we al

you hear that echoed, by the way, from russian members of parliament, russian politicians tonight in moscow as well. so certainly the vibes here on the ground in russia are very good. as far as the russian readout of all of this is concerned, it's very similar to what the president then later posted on truth social, saying that it was a good atmosphere, saying that he had invited vladimir putin to washington and that vladimir putin had invited him to come to moscow. the russians certainly saying that as well. there are some interesting nuances in the russian readout, the russians saying that they are willing to receive u.s. administration officials for possible talks here on the ground in moscow, also pertaining to a possible settlement in ukraine. so the russians, feeling that some of those negotiations could actually take place here inside russia. there's one very interesting nuance, jake, that we picked up on. it's something that the russians said, i want to just quote a little bit. they say president putin in turn, mentioned the need to eliminate the root causes of the conflict an

well then boy, then as a member of the european parliament in chaz, the you dedication for relations with palestine. she gave me her reaction to president trans proposal to what i think the statements made by president trump. the overnight is deeply concerning him from an international law perspective, from a human rights perspective. we know the uh president trump is very closely aligned to and benjamin netanyahu, but i don't think anybody expected them to make the statement that he did last night. so it's very, very concerning. and i think that the, you know, is that across roads in terms of how it's going to approach the situation with palestine and, and whether or not it is going to decides that it needs to stand for international law and multilateralism. ok, well we'll come to that. can you see beside the, you're guessing any support in the european parliament or indeed the commission will i unfortunately, within the european parliament there are members who are very pro benjamin's as an yahoos government. there are those who are very pro president trump, so absolutely there wil
