and reagan says to shultz can we do that? and shultz says, yes, sir, president, we can. let's do it. so they're going to do it. and they already are working on a plan and the plan essentially would be that the us and the russians and the soviets we would reduce our nuclear weapons stockpiles down. right. about 200 to get us at parity with britain and france. israel india, china. then we lean on all of our allies and do everything we can to a global push for total disarmament and people say this is just impossible, but we outlawed biological weapons. and that doesn't mean that no one can ever cheat. but it means that it's absolutely illegal and it's inspected and guaranteed in various ways. and if you look at the treaty of 1968, it's the nuclear weapon states promise to someday get rid of their nukes. i admit, hasn't helped, but the non-nuclear weapons states have agreed to allow inspectors in and permanent inspection regimes in countries to guarantee to secure against the diversion of nuclear material to any military purpose. and that has worked absolutely. in fact, look

signal to the reader that this was not your typical first lady biography in the story that george shultz told me that nancy reagan impromptu to the white house in the middle of a blizzard to have dinner, two couples upstairs in the white house it sounded like a social invitation george shultz was new in his tenure he had only been secretary of state for ten months, he didn't really know the reagans all that well and he had just gotten back from a long trip overseas that included a stop in china and dinner progresses the reagan's, both of them start peppering him with questions about the chinese leaders and do they have a bottom line and do they have a sense of humor and what makes them tick and beyond that they start talking about the soviet union and away from the hardliners in the typical national security council meetings begins to realize something about ronald reagan which is that this man has never had a conversation with the big-time communist leader that he is dying to have one and he has really thought about this a lot, he's very confident in his own abilities of the negotiator

and as for shultz himself, it is clear that shultz is now continuing to play a game when it is necessaryure all the er interests that he thinks he should ensure, this also applies to those insignificant russian interests that remain on the territory of germany, we will now listen to angela, the president of poland, because i read the information, the comment did not give me the opportunity to listen, let's listen we are trying to organize even greater support for ukraine, we hope that there are several partners, several allies who will provide ukraine with leopard tanks and challenger tanks from great britain, and we really hope that directly germany, the tank manufacturer itself, will also take part in this. well, i think. well, please , you can react to the comment, because dude, germany has already announced that, rather, poland announced that it will hand over the tanks. it is clear that this is a political gesture as well as a political one. gesture of the transfer of heavy tanks from britain. at the same time, this does not provide ukraine with the needs we have today. you remember

shultz, a member of the odesa district council, now we will ask what is happening in odesa, odesa regionrs. valentina, with us on the phone because there is no electricity mrs. valentina good morning, actually there is no electricity, this is as a result of shelling is it just a planned outage the price of e-e for the shelling of the energy infrastructure and as we know in the odesa region, the situation with the energy system is quite complicated, we have blanket blackouts, as in all regions, the first, second, third turn is unclear when it happens, and therefore it is difficult to plan your day a little, to plan business in general about e- its actions because it is not clear when the light will be turned off and when it will appear, and that is why it is quite difficult for us with the light and communication, respectively, so far yes, but we are holding on, like the whole of ukraine, of course, it is holding on, but for how long is not the case electricity in odesa, but now you are without power, it's already been an hour, and it hasn't been like that since yesterday, is the shelling

after weeks of deliberation chancellor shultz has agreed to send the german made leopard 2s.mocrats adam schiff and eric swalwell from serving on the intel committee, opening a new front in the deeply divided chamber. and the burnley man that took on the big banks and won — we'll talk to the man behind netflix�*s new hit film bank of dave. tonight with the context, former conservative cabinet minister justine greening and ron christie

shultz sent the american president, germany also agreed to send its vvp battery to ukraine, a similarllation was previously promised to the kiev regime. the united states did not manage in biden's speech and unconditionally, the us president said that the patriot system had allegedly already proved its effectiveness in ukraine. although according to official data of these installations . not yet in ukraine. we will deliver these divergents to ukraine a few more of our air defense systems, they are very effective work and the russians are beginning to realize this the actions of the united states indicate that washington is not seeking a political regulation of the ukrainian crisis, this was stated by russian ambassador to washington anatoly antonov according to him, the united states was not going to listen to moscow's repeated calls and did not take into account. what dangerous consequences could result from the transfer of new batches of armored vehicles to ukraine. the white house only spurs kiev to new crimes and with each new batch of western weapons. radicals feel more and more

or do you think that chancellor shultz's caution has damaged relations? the question is whether we are satisfied now or for now in a couple of weeks or in a couple of months will probably have a very similar discussion about other kinds of weapons and then probably the same situation will repeat because it's actually not a game changer for germany, it is one part of a series of very painful game changers here in germany namely the collective emotions basically of this society which is which is visible in the polls are against the supporting ukraine with with ever more weapons. and i do believe that what mr mr schultz is doing is he's trying to communicate with those who are actually afraid he doesn't want to neglect them. but obviously because of his, let's say limited communication being outside germany. it's very difficult to want to neglect them. but obviously because of his, let's understand that and many partners do not understand that. and also, but also the baltic states. also other countries who are neighbors of russia are in the same club of thos

volodymyr zelenskyy meets a guest who is not aware of the color khaki and in a dark business suit, shultzwho hopes that putin will come to his senses will definitely stop the deputies, the territorial integrity of ukraine is not subject to any discussion, we expect russia to take clear steps to de-escalate tensions, further military aggression against ukraine will have serious political, economic and geostrategic consequences for moscow, similar threats reduce and a few days after this meeting in munich, at an international conference on security issues, one should observe the largest build-up of troops on european land since the darkest days of the cold war, events - these days can change the entire international order if russia goes on a further invasion of ukraine, the united states, together with its allies and partners, will introduce unprecedented economic sanctions. zelenskyi started his whistling like this: ukraine wants peace europe wants peace the world says that it does not want to fight and russia that it does not want to attack, some of us are lying , some are lying, the witn

shultz. i apologize, but today is oleksandr's birthday.e leopard can be given as a gift. well, as they say, with the world by a thread, or from each country, a leopard and there are already 12 countries in our tank coalition, but even without gifts, for me at the moment, the usa will definitely give we have 31 abrams tanks, britain, 14 challenger tanks, 2 germany, 14 leopards, poland, 14 leopards, and 30 vordi. well, continue to grind, some four, then eight, some 10, so the 300 tanks that you asked for for us will be available. they have shit on fire, a salvo of hysteria was launched from all propaganda platforms and pro-government offices in tyurlys they deliver heavy tanks, we will get away oh, the fascists put the scariest aristos in the destroyed descendants nazis why are we cold until now, the whole ukraine is in trouble in the spring, so there will be a military call, it's a bull - it's a gulch , it's disturbing. you're hysterical, everything will turn into a pumpkin . oskar kuchera so, what does the carrier of this disease look like

chancellor shultz for the decision to provide ukraine with the patriot air defense system together withnt german aris arist patriots will make the ukrainian european sky appreciably safer today also with mr. chancellor we discussed other aspects of our defense cooperation in particular 40 marders and other things that are necessary to stop russian aggression very important the conversation was today with the prime minister of japan chishina japan, according to the results of last year, became a leader among asian countries in the protection of freedom of international law, i am sure that this year, too, i will especially take into account the chairmanship japan in the group - we, which started in january, will be able to do even more together for our common security. today, we agreed on priorities for cooperation this year, and i thank mr. prime minister for a very serious package of energy assistance, powerful generators for our country and people, today's conversation with the prime minister of sweden can be called a strategic one, the swedish presidency of the eu council has now begu

international pressure from the allies of the political elite in most countries still led to the fact that shultzd some negotiations and meetings in line in his party with deputies and the decision was to transfer nothing, and then see them britain also encouraged, so did the united states of america and france. and now there will be a lot of competition, first of all, among those countries that have powerful engineering. these are the pluses that practically all tanks and tanks get. they have very serious and western -style paintings. they are technologically ahead of russia by at least 10-15-20 years in the field of tank construction. that is also the fact that germany gave permission for export and immediately was reflected in the value of the shares of rhein metal on the world exchanges. serhiu a, please tell me in principle. so when they say what is needed in order for this supply of tanks to work , a large coalition of forces is needed, how much can this coalition really be formed , how large is the number of tanks, the president zelenskyi talks about 300,500, so it seems that he can count

this is jill medical because i'm those connected with shultz not says kid, joe, of you. you live slate in your platoon. a message not just k, gillian used to to, to new york was jealous to new brand new wire to the cook of land, which was which thorn was put in with you bothering you spirited included for the extra you mean it's a visa or a j, a c, a. provided you got that. okay. i could give her a call to get to provision. usually just, i'm assuming, you mean, yeah, i knew one in the pals program institute always refer you to sort of me on the claims on all of nazis. cooper, student configuration, and losing pals to points, briefly column a. should we wait, you wash and you when you call and then when i see somebody now, but they put him on it's a honda with yeah, well the thing is passion. that's a little bit bigger. ah, what was happening in ukraine before february? the 24th 2022. and what's happening now was a result of consistency. and systematic planning. blue is to presume as a blues in, you're still not says creole. a give you a list of books which i am not a who

the behavior of the minister alarmed the chancellor and the berberg, shultz's government took on a pencil background, a rally was held in berlin the day before against the supply of german tanks in the zelensky regime, according to the demonstrators. this step will only contribute to the escalation in ukraine. dollars risk losing the status of the world currency due to washington's policy on ukraine, said taylor green, a member of the house of representatives margin , under the sanctions. moscow, against all odds, managed to prove independence from the american currency and western financial institutions. according to congresswoman states in ukraine, they are waging a proxy war against russia, which drains resources, provokes inflation in the united states and harms world trade, margin rinn called on the us authorities to immediately end the conflict in ukraine and opposed the allocation of billions of dollars to help kiev he created images of the charismatic and impossibly charming kata leopold mammoth baby , a raccoon on his account about 40 animated films and the ussr state prize, prod

the germans dissatisfied with the economic situation or is it connected with the drop in ratings shultz and what will the next telephone talks between macron and putin lead to? we talked about all this with the ukrainian political scientist volodymyr fesenko. our colleagues volodymyr fesenko, a political scientist, joins our broadcast . now we have not us but the united states have as the speaker of the lower er lower house of congress instead of nancy polosi they have kevin mccarthy what does this mean for ukraine and exactly in the context military aid to us well, for now, this means nothing for us except for certain potential problems with delayed voting on budget issues or on issues in which contradictions may arise between democrats and republicans, in fact, this whole american speaker's career we had a lot of jokes, well, we have not been there for a long time speakers but in the usa this happened for the first time in the last 100 years and it is a problem primarily for the republicans because it is a sign of the internal crisis of the republican party, but the problem is that it

least it should not interfere with other countries. the allies are taking these steps to convince shultzese tanks to us. i am still optimistic about the transfer of heavy weapons to ukraine, especially leopard tanks, but also other weapons, and this optimism is based on the fact that negotiations that we, as the ministry of foreign affairs, we, as ukraine, and each of the embassies, have entered into since the beginning of the large-scale russian aggression, and i see how the approaches have changed and the understanding has changed, the positions in including in poland, because poland did not immediately become er, well, did not take such a favorable position regarding the transfer of its armaments to ukraine, it is true that from the very beginning they were ready to provide us with maximum assistance and , while doing so, created all the possibilities in order to uh, and accept ukrainians in poland myself and provide humanitarian aid and financial aid and military aid and provide a corridor through the territory of poland for the transfer of such military humanitarian aid to ukraine,

it's just interesting that macron and shultz and the second line of the russian president promised that would be no full-scale invasion . for funny it looks just funny well, he simply said to europe that he would not gain anything and went on, that’s how it will be with the steel countries, the presence of russia where the soviet union was was an argument for him show your so-called historical contribution to the russian federation of the land collector of the soviet union, which was, well , actually ended its existence . this is exactly what will happen if ukraine does not stop the russian federation. i was thinking about that well, maybe now i’m thinking because, in principle, you know, war changes, changes us and changes the enemy in many ways. europe is also changing little by little. there to the borders. well, to germany. i am not talking about rebuilding the berlin wall, of course, and is there really an understanding in europe that out, what authority would really stop putin. if he succeeded in crossing ukraine and going further or not, vitaly please well, in my opinion, the pre

the defense minister that olaf shultz had in office from the time he came into office until just a week or so ago was a member of his social democratic party. and she was seen is very much part of the problem. germany now has a new defense minister, also from the social democratic party. and it's a party for who, for which these decisions are especially wrenching. do you think this new decision represents a turn around? partly because of the new occupant of the defense ministry. that's hard to say, um, generally, i think the new defense minister makes a much better impression fresh. and the overall numbers. first and foremost, preoccupation was to relieve domestic presser of pressure for, for shoals. but all key decisions for down in a chancery are not matter for the ministry of defense. the minister of defense is an executing body off of some of the decisions, but is not the key hardware decisions or me. now, the new defense minister is much sees, much more energetic, ah, oser, in his lesion with other ministry of defense, others good feedback. so as now a big decision has been made an

by the allies and these the steps that they are going to hand over these tanks to us will convince shultzi am still optimistic about the transfer of heavy weapons to ukraine, especially leopard tanks, but also other weapons, and this optimism is based on the fact that, for sure, the experience of conducting negotiations that we as the ministry of foreign affairs, we as ukraine and each of the embassies introduced uh from the beginning of large-scale uh russian aggression and i see how approaches changed and uh understanding changed positions including in poland because poland did not immediately became er well, i did not take such a favorable position regarding the transfer of arms to ukraine, it is true that from the very beginning they were ready to provide us with maximum assistance, and they did so, creating all the possibilities in order to accept ukrainians in poland and provide humanitarian aid and financial aid and military aid and to provide a corridor through the territory of poland for the transfer of such military humanitarian aid to ukraine , but this decision was not made so

them every opportunity to survive and use well, use correctly well, with this weapon when chancellor shultz spoke before the deputies and explained that this decision was felt to be exactly that. iryna solomko spoke with the head of the commission and the former president of the international tribunal of gyaranda about the work of experts and the recommendations they are preparing to make public in their report already in march eric meat, we can now review the first commission to investigate violations in ukraine has been working for 10 months, what was done during this time, and the koshin commission was created in march, but it took several months to settle all organizational issues. in september, we informed the un council about the situation in ukraine on human rights and then in october we presented our interim report to the general assembly and in these two materials we came to the conclusion that war crimes and violations of human rights and international humanitarian law were committed in ukraine. now we we are working on the final report. within the framework of this mandate, which

are high, by whose authority are they gathering stop putin it's just interesting that macron and shultznd the second line of the president of russia promised that there would be no full-scale invasion. he failed to say what he said two days before the invasion. laugh, well, he simply said to europe that he would not gain anything and went further, that’s how it will be with steel places, the presence of russia there. where would the soviet union be argued for him? show your so-called historical contribution to the russian federation the land collector of the soviet union, which was, well , actually, it ended its existence. this is exactly what will happen if ukraine does not stop the russian federation. well, actually, let's talk about it a little. it is important to understand whether , in your opinion, putin really thought about this. well , maybe now i think because in principle, you know , war changes, changes us and changes the enemy in many ways, europe is also changing little by little, is this really an attempt to completely restore the warsaw pact and go to the borders there? w

of our desire to protect freedom and separately , even today, thank president biden and chancellor shultzour defense is very important, we will have another battery of patriots and powerful armored vehicles, and this is a really big victory for our country, all the details, the deadlines will be tomorrow after my today, mr. chancellor held talks with a stake meeting devoted primarily to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine and all of our defense and security forces, we understand that we must use the nearest time, january and the beginning of february, to be ready for any attempts by terrorists to put into effect new mobilization resources of russia. i want today to celebrate our fighters of the 54th separate mechanized brigade, who have been successfully gaining positions in the bakhmut direction for many months, as well as the fighters of the 35th marine brigade for their gradual liberation step by step of our territories in the donetsk direction. thank you , soldiers. thank you to each and every one who provides us with stability and advancement in the donetsk and luhansk regions ,

writes about this with reference to people familiar with the discussions, the government of chancellor shultzukraine's demand for reparations for the war, but did not take an official position on the seizure of assets of the russian state due to differences in the ruling coalition, if berlin can solve its own problems, it can give new impetus to the discussions in the european union and put pressure on the united states to seize assets, such as the reserves of the central bank of russia, which were frozen in response to the russian invasion, the signal is extremely good, we understand that the process is ongoing, but not i wanted the process to continue indefinitely, so to speak . well, the key task is to create such a system within our country that would not cause any, so to speak, clarifying questions from our partners, this concerns both european integration and euro-atlantic integration, respectively. the verkhovna rada passed a number of laws before the new year , voting took place, some of those laws are waiting for the president's signature, discussions are going on . how do you feel a

shultz and ending with the speeches of our president, president duda , they talked about the tragedyukraine today because let's talk about the fact that when the war started, the national guard became one alongside the armed forces alone, that is, defended and defends our country now, and it was the ministry of internal affairs and denys monastyrskyi who were entrusted with the responsibility of communicating everything that happens with international partners, so i can't even explain to you how much this is a huge loss for us and for the people who worked with childhood, because after avakov , after he was released, you know , it was such a breath of fresh air when we still hoped for new changes, that there would be reforms in the ministry and in fact, what is left now is very scary, and i hope that in the near future we will find a worthy person who, of course, denis did not succeed, but who will be able to lead the ministry and take under his leadership everything that is currently being taken care of in the ministry of internal affairs, this is what i want to remind, the state em

. >> president biden has spoken this week to chancellor shultz, as well as just two weeks ago, afterh the chancellor, is there anything more that the u.s. can do to give more leverage, more diplomatic leverage to help him with diplomacy, which is the only end game here. >> there's an enormous amount being done by 50 countries around the world. and i think that what you pointed out at the beginning of this that secretary austin is in germany, he's having a contact group meeting tomorrow to talk about where we're going. there's been reporting about how we are working with ukrainians to think about the time ahead and how to support them. every point in this process, we have listened very hard to what ukrainians have asked for and tried to think about that security assistance for that moment this time so this is an evolution as the battlefield changes and the united states congress have been supportive and responsive and i want to thank congress for an incredibly strong bipartisan support when it comes to making sure that ukraine get everything it theeds to prosecute this premeditated an

the c-span cameras catching debbie washerman shultz in an extended conversation with matt gaetz.ene says lauren boebert is not being serious. this whole process -- can we just go back to the never-kevins for a minute. if they hold five-plus and the only thing is mccarthy stepping aside, here is mea question for you, denver -- at some point, who talks to kevin? who goes to kevin? is it staff? members? does trump send him back pictures? >> it could be something where he 'sending a message. i think trump talks to kevin. i think that will happen at some point anyway, but on the floor who has that concerned of push to get him to stand down? i don't think it's a scalise or anybody like that. i think it has to be a trump. >>> i'm going to be back in a few hours at 8:00 p.m. eastern for more of cnn's special coverage of this dysfunctional, historic fight for house speaker. the folks here will keep going. our special coverage begins with one mr. wolf blitzer and one mess aaron -- ms. erin burnett. i'll be back in a few hours. well, we fell in love through gaming. but now the internet lags

communist front groups and they were kind of dupes, i suppose but fast forwards in the 1980's and george shultz says to reagan -- reagan ignored his briefing book and wrote his own talking points for a while. secretary schulz said, there are some people worried that you might not be fully prepared for the equal of gorbachev. there was some nervousness about it. he said, do not worry about it. i have dealt with communists in hollywood. i know what they are like. that had to be a wholly unreal assuring answer, but he meant it. that whole effort to try to influence hollywood not come to anything partly because of reagan and forgotten figures who worked hard to seal off that threat to the industry, but reagan in later years would talk about how, i miss those movies that were pro-american. one of my favorite lines -- he was on johnny carson in 1972. carson said, after you leave the governor's office, do you think people go back into making movies? he said, no. i am much too old to take off all of my clothes. john kline you talk about him writing his own briefing notes and you talk in the books about

after weeks of deliberation chancellor shultz has agreed to send the german made leopard 2s. the house speaker kevin mccarthy has blocked democrats adam schiff and eric swalwell from serving on the intel committee, opening a new front in the deeply divided chamber. and the burnley man that took on the big banks and won — we'll talk to the man behind netflix's new hit film bank of dave. tonight with the context, former conservative cabinet minister justine greening and ron christie former adviser to george w bush. welcome to the programme. it has been a fractious few days, nato allies openly criticising the decisions in berlin, the german chancellor refusing to send his tanks, unless the united states also had skin in the game. but out of delay and a whole lot of diplomatic wrangling, has come a momentous decision. nearly 100 nato tanks, will be sent in the coming month to the front line and the border with russia — a move that was unthinkable months ago. we will provide battle tanks to ukraine, the leopard two. this is the result of intensive consultations with our allies and
