i'd like to thank the kingdom of saudi arabia and the king, mohammed, great people. really working hard to get this done. our focus is on achieving a ceasefire as soon as possible and ultimately a permanent peace. my meeting with president macron today was another important step forward in that sphere because he's been very much involved right from the beginning of trying to get it over with. we're going to get it done. i believe that emanuel agrees with me on many of the most important issues, chief among them is,s the right time, maybe the only time, you know. that's a very interesting and horrible situation that could evolve into a third world war. we're not going to let that happen. should have never started but it did. and what a mess. what a horrible, bloody mess. i'm also pleased that president macron agrees that the cost and burden of securing the peace must be borne by the nations of europe, not alone by the united states. and europe must take that central role in assuring long-term security of ukraine which they want to do. and that's not a very big step. a

and key regional play of saudi arabia has issued a strongly worded statement against is rose action is foreign ministry says the use of aid as a tool. for extortion, i'm collective punishment constitutes a bleach in violation of international rule, direct infringement of the basis of insightful commodity iran law, especially in light division by the chair and catastrophe facing the palestinian people. little pressure is building on this and yahoo from the families of remaining captives holding gaza to south hood report some jordan's capital i'm on. she said, because the israeli government and the policy in your thoughts you'll find out, is there a from a poor thing inside his room and the occupied westbank? it is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke several times on sunday, justifying israel's decision to block critical humanitarian aid. from entering gaza, israel wants to pressure him us to try and get them to meet israel demands when it comes to the extension of the ceasefire. deal. israel says they want to extend phase one in order to bring about the release of as many cap

steven hall made the willing to say, it's the 1st time it certainly had one this trouble will saudi arabia have been looking to when it's going quite well, it's exactly one year until australia, how's the women's asian cap asia's top 12 twins will go head to head over 21 days, the tournament will be held across 3 cities. sidney, the gold coast and purse for $60000.00 fans are expected to watch us truly. as matilda, as play in the opening match, standing australia and sidney will stage final. the 1st women's asian car was in 1975, which makes it the oldest international women's football competition. china are the defending champions and have won the trophy a record 9 times. the tournament also serves as a qualifying event for the women's world cup. and olympics we spoke to former australia strikers, sarah walsh, who is the chief operating officer of the local organizing committee. we know that there's going to be high demand for them into it as much as but what i'm most interested in is kind of a like a multi cultural australia. we have the 2015 men sizing top here um and really the communi

you tromping ministration tends to be close less tropic industries and certainly was to saudi arabia. so, you know, i think they have a voice, the regional governments. the problem i think is that this president is notably close, not really to man yahoo himself but to the is really right wing in there uh that actors and united states. so i worry that the voices of people following for the implementation of the success of the ceasefire deal that was negotiated will be drowned out by more right wing voices in the united states. and israel issue uh is, will uh israel agree where they ever planning to agree in a real way to pull one of their troops out of gaza. or did they just sort of agree to that in a future phase, as a way of getting some hostages back and achieving a short term ceasefire. so i think we're going to see, and if is real, isn't prepared to pull the troops out and not to close it. and this and ministration will put any pressure on them to do it, which is what the original ceasefire plan that the united states setup called for. so uh, i think the uh is really government mi

we sell those meetings in saudi arabia. we saw talks in istanbul. are talks of how russia and the us are going to restore a number of embassy personnel in america and russia. this is a very important, of course. this is a development that would be difficult to imagine had joe biden, for instance, stayed in the white house. and it is a completely different kind of rhetoric but so far i think it is very important to divide what we hear, what those leaders are talking about and what is actually happening. so far, nothing substantial, you know, has happened yet. there were still raging and still going on. russia and ukraine are still fighting, as we are speaking, right the us is still sending this military aid to ukraine. us are still involved in training ukrainian soldiers, sharing intelligence which has been crucial for ukraine being able to fight russia. so it is able to fight russia. so it is a very delicate situation. it is definitely a new environment and i think both sides, they have acknowledged that on numerous occasions. but i think it is impo

we had yasser from saudi arabia. these are all great people. i don't get anything out of it i just think dolph dashed golf is a very individual sports and you want to see the best players. >> what's going to be more challenging, the russia ukraine deal or the pga deal? >> i think russia is much more complicated. >> what's your take on what's happening in the west bank? >> some movement up there that a lot of people are concerned about and there has been a lot of israeli movement. maybe they are not feeling so good about that. i hope that doesn't happen. there is movement up there that nobody knew about. >> are you concerned about it? >> i'm concerned about everything. i want the world to be peaceful. when i left we had no war. we had the fetid isis in less than four weeks. i took the general the defeated isis and put him in charge of the whole ballgame. that's the kind of general i like. he's a great soldier. not a politician. a real soldier. >> i heard that story a million times. >> this guy is the real deal. think of it. we had no wars, no pr

thing trump talks a lot about and the israelis talk a lot about is normalizing relations between saudi arabiaael. under what conditions do you see that happening? i likely d.c. normalization of relations? >> there is no mystery about where the saudi position is. from the very beginning it is that there should be a viable palestinian state with a capital in east jerusalem. i did not see any other way that normalization can come about other than to have the condition in place. anchor: with mr. trump running things, do you see him committed? >> i live in wishful thinking. he is surrounded by people who he has appointed who do not even believe there is such a thing as a palestinian people. that is a big burden to overcome. to convince him that there must be a palestinian state. anchor: thank you very much for your time. >> anchor: thank you. anchor:as humanitarian aid for gaza is cut off, the trump administration is sending israel another round of military aid. marco rubio used emergency authority to expedite delivery of about $4 billion of weapons in an -- and ammunition. president trump side mo

ralf reichert, the ea sports world cup foundation ceo, told us saudi arabia is the natural spot for thisaudi arabia, with its very young leadership as a very tech and game savvy country, has taken a leadership role in this case. >> for the most part. the games the ioc had previously chosen weren't very popular with the worldwide audience, and while ralph wouldn't confirm any games that will make their appearances yet, he did hint that they'll be more along the lines of popular ea sports. >> it will have a clear focus on the traditional ea sports, while still obviously having a heavy emphasis on virtual sports. >> previously, the ioc said it was avoiding games with gunplay, but ralph points out there's a major difference between a game like fortnite and call of duty. >> there's a difference between red blood and green blood shooters. >> but ultimately, he says, it's not really about guns. it's about what each country feels is appropriate. >> it's an interesting discussion because actually, society and governments across the world have set standards around this. they've had set clear rules

the cuts are saudi arabia and egypt have condemned israel's decision to stop aid arab leaders will meet in cairo in the coming days to discuss the future of gauze after saying or reconstruction plan is ready. egypt for administer by the lot is calling for the full implementation of the 2nd phase of the seas fired. you know, you can a somehow a couple that cannot be accepted to use 8 as a weapon for collective punishment. uninstall vacation. this is completely unacceptable and represents a blatant and flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. there is a ceasefire agreements consisting of 3 phases. we have finished the 1st phase, all. we must implement the remaining complications and to interrupt with negotiations to discuss the 2nd phase of the ceasefire agreement for a few more follow back for it is prime minister care storm or has hosted an emergency summit of european leaders and other allies to rally support for ukraine, he says, a coalition of the willing will present a peace plan to the united states following a 10 stand off between donald trump and ukrainian president

pushed countries together that have not been as close as before. russia with the, with iran and saudi arabia, particularly on the other hand, maybe it's colossally brilliant. maybe the american exceptional list are getting are getting put in to once again, kicks that football that lucy has teed up and fall on his rear end, which may actually be the demise approved. and which is the end all goal of the neo cons in the us and the american exceptionalism, the us to find the take down prudent because i do believe that if he takes the bait from the west again as he's done several times and it goes down as it will then maybe the end of putin. well, i mean, i'm steve. obviously russia wants to have good relations with all countries. i mean that that's perfectly natural. but the, the mean going back to what daniel had to say there. and it's already been mentioned on those program. there's not going to be another mince process we've already been there. we have seen that and put who is heavily criticized toward within russia itself. they're not going to do that. i mean, what trump is asking is, you kn

he be in summit between them may be in saudi arabia.his environment suits vladimir putin much better and he is in a much better and he is in a much better position than one year ago or that he would be had to joe biden won the election last year. joe biden won the election last ear. �* . ~' . joe biden won the election last ear. . ., ~ , ., year. and talk us through some ofthe year. and talk us through some of the reaction _ year. and talk us through some of the reaction that _ year. and talk us through some of the reaction that we - year. and talk us through some of the reaction that we have - of the reaction that we have been getting through from different european countries. i different european countries. i think in europe, that mood is very different and we saw that european leaders have been very sympathetic and actually praised zelensky for standing up praised zelensky for standing up to jd vance praised zelensky for standing up tojd vance and donald trump in the oval office. still, we see that there are a lot of discussions and

they sat down with the russians in saudi arabia. i think they realized that there is no quick negotiated fixed to this conflict. and that they have leverage over ukraine but have almost no leverage over russia except if they were willing to put more money in behind ukraine. and so, i think they saw the writing on the wall that negotiations aren't going anywhere. and with that, they wanted ukraine to agree to something they would not agree to. and i think what you saw is the united states being ready to just essentially walk away from these talks. and a degree of hostility toward president zelenskyy that president trump has had for a while, jd vance brought up president zelenskyy's visit to a pennsylvania ammunition factory in september, when he came to the united states, viewing that as a partisan activity. there were some axes to grind. normally in a diplomatic meeting, you don't grind those axis pop -- axes publicly. when they saw that president zelenskyy was pushing back, not even that strongly but a little bit, they did not hesi

[cheers and applause] it's clear that trump is pro-russia. his administration is saying ukraine will have to make major concessions. and when he was asked about what putin will have to do in return, he got a little vague. >> maybe russia will give up a lot. maybe they won't. and it's all dependent on what is going to happen. >> stephen: firm, clear, confident. reminds me of that gloria gaynor song. maybe i will survive. maybe i won't. it's all dependent on what is going to happen. trump's been criticized for leaving ukraine out of the peace talks, so yesterday he said this. >> today i heard, "well, we weren't invited." well, you have been there for three years. you should have ended it. three years. you should have never started it. >> stephen: "yes, i bla

we have a delegation and saudi arabia now shamefully selling ukraine down the river. he really outdid -- far outdid neville chamberlain, however misguided he was. negotiated in foolish -- good faith in munich. rubio, i never thought i would see former senator rubio parroting -- it was like molotov ribbentrop part two. donald trump has business interests with the saudi's as well. the constitution forbids him to take foreign monuments. his business of anything of value. i litigated those cases in the prior administration. his businesses are sucking those in all over the planet. he has eliminated -- there is doj enforcement memo inviting -- going to lower the standards for tom firestone. he knows all about this. he was working on these issues and the embassy in moscow when i was ambassador. they are not going to enforce fcpa violations, as has historically been the case. another loophole. i could go on, but i will stop. >> let me ask you briefly on one other issue, which has loomed very large. the foreign agents registration act. there have been many calls for reform, so

trump recently excluded ukraine from the meeting with russia in saudi arabia, or that trump incorrectly blames zelenskyy for russia's invasion. and trump was wrong to say that zelenskyy is a dictator. while remaining silent on putin. plus, it was a disgrace. it was a disgrace on monday that in a un vote, the u.s. voted with russia and north korea instead of its european allies in refusing to blame russia for starting the war. it's all rather embarrassing, unless it results in a deal. see, this is the true test of a transactional president. can the art of the deal bring about the end of the war? i think it's offensive to ask ukraine for reimbursement. backward looking for american aid. that sets a bad precedent. telling a friend threatened by an invading force and no friend of ours. well, we'll help you, but only for a price. if, however, there's a deal to be struck in our mutual interest, let's do it. and if, after striking that agreement, trump can resolve a three year old war in a way that biden could not, and which protects ukraine's sovereignty, i'll be the first to say this was all

they also look at what was done on thehe oil side with saudi arabia and a russian at any given day in oil production. it's always making sure we get the right rules out there at the right laws first. i make sure these people can do these great things. o, and the country my district has 86,000 manufacturing jobs i tell people, it's not that i needs energy i have to have affordable energy if i don't have affordable energy we can't get what we need. making sure we have all these things working in the right direction and ohio 83% of everything that comes in his trucks. when you think about the data centers coming online one question i asked in the last congress everybody that came before, do we have to have more energy or lust energy produced in the country everybody i don't care where they are from everybody, i don't care where they're from says the exact same thing. we need to have more energy >> some of the cheapest energy by the end of the decade is renewable. so as we talk about and as we look at what house republicans are doing on reconciliation, a lot of that is looking at targetin

version of diplomacy includes excluding the affected countries, like sitting down with russia and saudi arabia last month and not inviting ukraine or europe to the table for negotiations. i want to remind everybody tuning in as well. trump did the same exact thing in february of 2020, when he signed an agreement with the taliban, and he excluded the afghan government, and that taliban deal gave everything to the taliban in no way held them accountable when they predictably reneged time after time on that deal. how poorly does this bode, then, for trump's version of diplomacy? now, for somebody like zelensky trying to save his people in ukraine? >> well, thank you for bringing up afghanistan, because that is exactly the analogy that's here, right? we didn't even tell the president, the democratically elected president of afghanistan, ashraf ghani, until the deal was already signed. it feels exactly like that. and it led to his downfall, as we know. and this feels exactly the same playbook. and i just hope that enough senators, republican senators might remember what they said just a few months

the peace talk that president trump has called in saudi arabia. the middle east damage and because of iran, there is very influential. one of the people involved of the talks, the head of the russian sovereign well fund who was involved in the accord. south korea and japan have been supporting ukraine because the south koreans wondered if the north korean troops are preparing some kind of action against south korea. so, as we talk about a negotiation between the united states and russia, we left out all of these global dimensions as well. the chinese have told the ukrainians that i have learned from one of the former ministers, - look, this was not about you. china was a massive investor in ukraine before the war. they say we'll invest again. as we contemplate on the way we flip on europe, there is a hole host of other discussions going on around the globe of what this war is and what the aftermath of it may be, well, north korea turning its attention to south korea and what will then south korea and japan facing and will china really be kind of t

he called the prince of saudi arabia i think a terrorist or whatever.e went to shake his hand and he left with nothing. i think trump is a phenomenal negotiator and he knows you get more with money. i don't think he likes putin. he is a dictator. he's not going to get in a fight with him trying to get a peace deal. he's totally saying i'm going to take care of you, it is critical that ukraine stays free. he's not going to do it by having a public fight. i watched the entire news conference three times. trump said at least six times, i'm not talking about security right now. we will take care of security. now you have all of europe saying we will take care of you. nobody is throwing ukraine under the bus. you just have to trust trump. it scares me how many people are thrilled he looks bad now. they don't realize if trump looks bad, the u.s. looks bad. host: do you think trump looks bad right now? caller: i think to a lot of people he does. to me, he looks great. i think he handled it beautifully. trump is holding all the cards. zelenskyy was terrible. li

a week after that, the secretary of state, marco rubio, led a high level delegation to saudi arabia for talks with his russian counterpart, sergey lavrov, which one member of moscow's delegation described as being jovial and, quote, there were a lot of jokes. rubio told reporters that they agreed to work on ending the war with, quote, consultation with ukraine, end quote consultation and consultation with ukraine. but that, quote, ultimately the russian side will be indispensable to this effort. rubio also said they agreed to explore the, quote, incredible opportunities that exist to partner with the russians on economic and geopolitical interests. this past monday, the third anniversary of russia's full fledged and unprovoked invasion of ukraine, the united states sided with russia at the un general assembly multiple times, including voting against a european drafted resolution condemning russia's invasion and supporting ukraine's territorial integrity. the united states voted the same as just 11 other countries, including russia and two of its closest allies, belarus and north korea.
