this will help us understand north korea's friendship with russia. so bear with us. china has long been north korea's lifeline. as of 2023, china accounted for over 95 percent of north korea's trade. most of it took place at this bridge. it was already in use during the cold war when china was an important supporter. i think the oh is trying to diminish the influence of the, of the trend is to diminish the dependent on the training. that's where the north korea, russia friendship, bridge comes in on the other side of the country. it was built in 1959 when russia was still part of the soviet union, which back north korea. now guten, is willing to see that relationship blossom again. a chance for ken, the cube is so much better to invest into this relationship is used to cope with the 5 noisy can counter balance between these dominance in the like foreign lation for the treaty, the 2 leaders signed pays the way for that and building bridges isn't just an empty phrase for put in and can. they literally agreed to build a bridge, one for vehicle traffic. i

and it's interesting that the release of a us um, a sign of a us—russia thaw, this kind of language movingthe right direction to end the war. and wondering whether moving in the right direction means moving in the right direction for moscow. steve rosenberg a of men zelensky has been speaking to a british he said to a british newspaper. he said he is to offer russia he is prepared to offer russia an exchange of in negotiations. hesaid 7 7 7 of egotiations. hesaid 7 7 7 of the :iations. hesaid 7 7 7 of the russian he said 7 7 7 of the russian kursk d 7 7 7 parts of the russian kursk region could be returned in �* ukrainian which is currentl territory, which is currently by russia. let'sjust live get the very on live get the very on all e get the very on all of get the very on all of this t the very on all of this with very on all of this with obry correspondent in kyiv, james waterhouse. a of different we need to up with lines we need to wrap up with you. let's start with the release of mark fogel. donald suggesting this hostage trump suggesting this hostage was potentially of releese wespg

if biden admin, nato had simply acknowledged russia's legitimate security concerns regarding ukraine's becoming a member of nato, which would mean us nato forces right on russia's border democrats, republicans, the main stream media, the washington elite, essentially in the pocket of the military industrial complex. and rather than looking out for what's in the best interest of the american people, our national security, our country, they see dollar science when they look at ukraine, there are $25.00 to $30.00 us funded bio labs in ukraine. according to the us government. these bio labs are conducting research on dangers pathogens. ukraine is in an active or zone with widespread bombing, or tillery and selling. and these facilities, even in the best of circumstances, could easily be compromised and released these deadly pathogens. now light cove, it these passages no no borders. when she ran for president in 2020, she very much positioned herself as a critic of the u. s. wars in iraq and syria. and here is what she had to say in an interview with r t. why is it such a difficult position to say that we should stop arming, streaming

since the start of the special military operation, russia has not received an invitation to this event. knew of the russian spokeswoman was responding to the us presidents claim of a plan to try lateral discussion in munich. they're having a meeting in munich, and tomorrow russia is going to be there with our people. ukraine is also invited, by the way, i'm not sure exactly who is going to be there from any country, but high level people from russia, from ukraine and from the united states. things to do seem to be quite serious. and that i have to say that the pace at which these events are unfolding, it's just remarkable. just on wednesday, the 2 presidents spoke and it seems that now we're looking at higher level meetings, which are rapidly being prepared. and this has also been confirmed by the kremlin, you already know, they talked and agreed that even the most difficult problems should be solved through peaceful negotiations. in this case, president putin agreed with this thesis of president trump put in and has repeatedly said that we are ready to enter into such a peaceful negotiations and achieve our goals. specifically through peacef

going to have a situation where essentially the world is going to be call step again between the us and russia. i mean these very, very big a dispute with us clayton's vibe, load them is a lend space. that would be great, but essentially say now that anyone who speaks to russia is a trait and is, please bring me you a lot of ways to lensky also saying that you need said, oh no army, maybe even pivoting them away from nato. however, the gym and sean sla, all up sean schultz, has rejected that your of has to become self sufficient, united by common strands, ukrainian, and european. it's not to us. then we'll stop them. i really, i really believe the time has come. the forces of your must be created to clean now has nearly 1000000 soldiers on the weapons. if you count altogether that are relevant for the better future that they, while eclipse park would be better, but they are really eclipse by a bus them, munitions and all the, all the kind. and because of this, it's absolutely clear that the postwar ukraine will have a very strong army. but what we're seeing now essentially is the scrambling na

against everything that was said earlier by the previous se, us administer ration, which was completely against recognizing crimea, as part of russia. and even now still uh, the website up, the state department says that the, the us government to recognize this crime in as part of ukraine. i said, very early on that should russia do so there would be consequences. we're not recognizing what is happening in crime evans together, we have rejected any notion that there is any legality in russia's efforts to annex crimea, but we do not recognize russia's attempt to annex crimea. we agree to disagree with russia on that front, and our crimea sanctions against russia will remain in place until russia returns the peninsula to the correct in moscow, eventually has to end its occupation of ukraine's sovereign territory. crime may is still sovereign territory of ukraine and also another door closed for a key of seemingly as lead i by the us defense secretary to write to be the headset also said that the washington doesn't see that it's very realistic for ukraine to become a member of nathan, and both of both uh uh, ukraine becoming a member

us. the top diplomats of the u. s. and russia have agreed to work together for a peace deal in ukraine. the us state department said that during his phone call with the russian foreign minister survey lab rob secretary of state, marco rubio, affirmed. donald trump's commitment to finding an end to the war. rubio has arrived in tel aviv after taking part in the munich security conference. us media reports say he'll also be heading to saudi arabia in the coming days to help start the talks with russian and ukrainian negotiators. the developments come after donald trump's invite to ukraine at keith kellogg said russia could have to make territorial concessions for a peace deal. killed made the comments while european leaders were meeting at the munich security conference. kellogg said the united states and it's european partners needed to focus on breaking rushes, alliances with some of its new allies. you know, the, to me, there's gonna have to be things like territorial concessions as well. okay. so it is unrealistic for you to expect where you'd want to go to, but his territory, it jumpe

for this the us needs rush as a friend, rushes in store to find that the united states. russia supported the us and the revolutionary war, it supported the union, abraham lincoln in the civil war. it led the victory over the nazis in world war to russia is a friend. it should be a friend. and so yes, i'm surprised. this is happening so quickly, but i am. as you can tell, i'm overwhelmed with joy that is happening in happening. this is something you've been calling for for quite some time, for people to get in a room and hum, arrived some details on get to talking, talking about speaking and getting in a room then, and done possible at reports coming out. that's not a mere putting in donald trump, maybe set to meet in saudi arabia as early as the end of this month. no, of course what's being talked about what's being said is to fight the part. but sometimes the location, those details muster, as well. your view on the choice of hosting country? yeah, i'll be honest. i find that strange, but you know, whatever works. that's my view. i, you know, uh, i don't know what to say i, i wouldn't h

you also have a role to play the this is dw news live from for a land, the tops diplomats of the us and russia agreed to talk on ending the ukraine war. us secretary of state, marco rubio will head a us delegation to meet russian envoys and saudi arabia. european countries will not have a place at the table. also coming up, a mass rally keeps up the pressure on the serbian government. the student led anti corruption protest takes over the country's 3rd biggest city, serbia march. that's national holiday. and a stampede leaves 15 people. dad in new delhi as main train station. as huge crowds travel to the comes mail of fast the . i'm david love, it's good to have you with us. the united states has to push ahead with talks with russia aimed at ending the war and ukraine. this after secretary of state, marco rubio spoke on the phone with russian foreign minister, saturday labrons. rubio is currently in israel and a tour of the middle east. he's due to travel on to saudi arabia, where reports say he'll start the talks with russian negotiators. us officials also say ukrainian representatives will t

he also mentioned that it was actually a bomb us mistake to exclude russia from the g 8. and the trump is actually planning to hold a summit with chinese and russian lead us on purchasing the nuclear weapons. also know, you know, it's really, it's a pact with statements we've also heard from the native choose. and that was quite an ironic statement actually, that it was never agreed that the war and ukraine would end with the prince native members. like to see egypt in washington again, nature committed to future natural membership. uh for the crate, but it has never be agreed that we're not for peace store. so we'll start that the still towards ends anyway and always and definitely be with natal membership that has never been a great. it's going to be for it has not for being a promise to you'll create that as part of a peace deal. a day will be in a till, and you know, was where the i run and k is the year off to here. we've had the complete opposite . you might recall from the start of rush, a special metty to a friction. you crane you the last actually himself signed h

that's what us present. donald trump said, after speaking to the leaders of russia and ukraine, after a lengthy phone conversation with vladimir putin on to show us a one with london is a landscape. trump seems confident a deal can be struck, but who will come out on top? trump imputed have plans to meet 1st in saudi arabia and follow with mutual state visits. it's not assigned as a landscape might be sidelined from the negotiations. how. what about europe with ukrainian nato membership seemingly off the table? how can the regions future secure to be guaranteed? we'll get to those questions in a moment. but 1st, this report by michael apple and i will get the problem solved and he didn't end it as quickly as he promised on the campaign trail. and it will take me no longer than one day. but us president donald trump is swiftly moving the needle on the war in ukraine. it started with a 90 minute phone call to vladimir putin presidential and followed by a conversation with a lot of musicians. and i think we're on the way to getting peace. i think president one space and present into land

the gaming league, it turns out that russia and the us, so trump and pretend we're actually having a personal conversation, as trump said yesterday, announcing the start of immediate negotiations for peace. and now the e. u is acting like it's justin don's. my uncle sam, who's commuting be adding insult with hanging around with it's x if there is, agreements may behind our backs, doing simply not to work because you need for any kind of team, any kind of agreement. you need europeans to implement this the you need the ukrainians to implement this state. yeah, you can't break up with me. you need me. that sounds not crazy at all. you even have the german defense minister yelling from the kitty table over to the adult table, trying to tell trump and food and how they should be conducting negotiations. now the dollar is using. this is obviously, it's unfortunate. and i say this truthfully, the trump administration had already made public admissions to prove them before negotiations have even gone on from my point of view. it would've been better to talk about ukraine's possible nato mem

that, that, that are there because we have the white high spokes person saying that donald trump use russia as a competitor, but wants to maintain good relations. you know, you've got l n g that he wants to sell to europe, you know, bypass things if russel goes box and on with that, you've got bricks per in, see, you know, being it being threatened as well. so it's the, there's, there's a few of the organs in the, in the prickly relationship. how to view overall though donald trump strategy towards russia. no, i think it's good. i think shown some initiative here as a trying to i think both the leaders want to end the violence or, and the violence in the, in the killing. but you need to recognize the rushes, valid security concerns. and they're uh, the reality on the ground. i mean, what, let's face it this made, it was thrown aside from nuclear weapons, it's thrown almost everything they have. they've just the weapons and munitions. they cannot, there, uh, industry cannot keep up with the paints that the russian industry go that the, um and you don't want to go to a nuclear weapon. you don

russia . now it is because they see it as a possibility of using that time. and that relationship as a weapon against china. it's always a plan for the next war and how to say, until others in a very dangerous game in the us imperialism on so many levels is coming down is the chain. and the only strategy they have for moving forward is for more and constant for so that means even when they to a fees the plan, more speaking to us from new york, sorry, i flanders co director of the of the war international auction center. as always, thank you. thank you. described as a, quote direct the warm conversation. this week's putting trump phone call caught european officials completely off guard. you brings e u l. i subsequently issued a joint declaration, demanding a seat up in negotiating table. in future peace talks, i think that support for key of will continue until the new agreements reach. but not all leaders in the block are on the same page. the president trump, at least called zelinski, after a long phone conversation with president putin and then let them kn

trump, and that, you know, this was an opportunity probably once in a hundred years that to improve us-russia relations and bring it back from the brink. and so, uh, this would be a good reason to get the relationship started in a different way. um, and you know, that somehow and through various ways, it seems like the message was well received and, and the governments got talking to each other right, in a constructive way. and the result, uh, the first result of that, i think, is yesterday. >> martin deluca, thank you for your time. congratulations on being able to get mark fogel home. it's great to see an american brought back. thank you very much, john. >> all right. new this morning, the nominee for fbi director kash patel accused of lying under oath. why? one top senate democrat is now demanding an investigation. and after eight months stranded in space, a new plan could finally bring home two nasa astronauts. >> so what are you thinking? >> i'm thinking. >> about our honeymoon. >> what about africa? safari? >> hot air balloon ride. swim with elephants. >> wait. >> can we. >> afford a sa

russia accused of war crimes, after new scenes of other health emerged in ukraine over the weekend with hundreds of bodies found strewn around towns outside the capital. key officials with the united nations us in europe are calling for a war crimes investigation of russia following the massacre of a ukrainian town. most goes denials to accusations that his forces tortured and killed civilians in the ukrainian town is due to have been underlined by newly released satellite images. is it so this story was truly brewing and it goes full politicians as well because it wasn't just the jo list who uh, who were ringing the alarm. who uh, basically showing the outrage and sharing some truly disturbing pictures as well. the west and politicians joined in this quiet i remember i got criticized for the following to the matter. so it happened this 4 years or something. i'm afraid when you look at what's happening in beach of the, with the revelations that we're seeing from. i won't preaching who has done in any great which, you know, doesn't look fall short of genocide. to me. we have all seen the trusts at this. uh, but i've been committed in bo, draw on the other places, and ukraine's this reveals th

t is a temblitated system”* says it doesn't use russia says it doesn't use energy to the ggggy to blackmailhe warning of it andi have ggggy to blackmail. but the warning of it and when been warning of it and when russia launched invasion in crimea and the full scale the crimea and the full scale invasion of ukraine it became clear how energy clear how powerful energy blackmail was. what has happened is the three baltic republics are essentially severing �*from their severing further from their soviet past. they are linked into a network of soviet—era soviet past. they are linked into a networ with oviet—era soviet past. they are linked into a networ with an et—era infrastructure with'an ~ . with belarus and :fiééf 3m), 77 they have switched them �*and fora �*of ”fiandforiaf " 7 7 i orally ” off and for a number of baltic leaders and wider european leaders, been hailed as leaders, it's been hailed as a significant step to energy independence. the eu's foreign policy chief said it a 7 forfreedom j for freedom and victory for freedom and european unity. she mentioned blackmail issue, the the b

that just doesn't correspond to reality, that the us is, does not, and will not recognize crimea. crime is democratic decision to become part of russia, which the website calls an annexation, right? but there's also another big take away from what the us secretary of defense said, because this also ties into another thing that the u. s. has said that the or, or rather that russia said was one of its goals in the military operation to prevent ukraine from being becoming part of nato. and the secretary defense just said that this idea that ukraine might get nato membership is not going to be on the table for any sort of peace negotiation. the united states does not believe that nato membership for ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable european and non european troops. if these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to ukraine at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non need omission. and they should not be covered under article 5. there also must be robust international oversight of the line of contact to be clear as part of any security guarantee. t

but there are far bigger issues between the us and russia. that must be resolved. this was definitely a sign of goodwill from the roster barks and there indications that similar signs might we might see from the american side. so there definitely is a lot of diplomacy going on. although we don't see much on the surface. however, i don't think that any kind of deal can be broken with russia from the american side without uh, resolving the core issue and that is the issue of. so do you do balance of the architecture of security in your, if the terms of a statement is ready to serious to discuss the future of european security level security with russia also to discuss of the new nuclear deals, which was um, let's say bring us back to start one and 2 to the home agreements then we can talk about resolving on a war is used to you and some more breaking news just in to us depending on she, if has announced washington recognizes the fact that it is unrealistic for ukraine to return to its pre 2014 borders, the 1st day appointed pete hag says, also added that diplomatic e

and so now we have the us and russia a token ukraine without ukraine, that's quite the safest in washington's approach to the conflict. um, what's been the reaction from calf told us, well, after his conversation with potent trump actually did call up the lansky and polanski said that that phone conversation lasted about an hour. but the credit in media said that it would last it only around 10 minutes. and it's an interesting difference there, but it could have something to do with the fact that ukrainian media is been reporting a lot lately, but keeps becoming increasingly worried that ukraine is going to be sidelined by the us from any sort of negotiating process. and donald trump was asked about that to which he responded that while ukraine is going to have to have elections. no, i don't think so as long as he's there, but down at some point you're gonna have to have elections to. you're gonna have to have it on terms of rushes position. i mean, vladimir putin said that he doesn't mind if the lens is going to be at any sort of potential negotiations. but it's important, understand that ru

they can talk peace, but they continue for us. russia says it's about time the world finally woke up to the fact that usa id has been used as a pro radical front by washington. something moscow has long been warning about them for new lives. me. we are in no way surprised by the recent revelations regarding the activities of the agency, usa i. d. we have long spoken about how it is financing and radical elements throughout the entire weld. previously those claims were written off as russian propaganda. now ultimately they had been confirmed as the truth. and while the trump teams cracked down on the notorious for and development agency takes new turns more dark secrets are being exposed. r t correspondence amendment is shar, looks into how usa id sponsored a future outside of terrorist to washington later assassinated. you know, this is one less than to learn. your country pays to educate you, but then pays even more to tell you. because in those intervening years, you just happens to become one of the world's most want to terrace. sounds absurd, right? not for america. this is yet an

russia. it's pot says the alms for minerals deal as some have deb, this is a sign of the us slowing down the simple for ukraine. the biggest commercially viable array of mineral deposits. i'll also in the territories, russia hasn't had ext away the west of the will rages. they include the hands that, that brings you together. they all with 6 trillion dollars or 53 percent of ukraine's red asset mineral deposits. but with that much money involved ukraine, these click no development resources until the full and to the war and complete russian withdrawal. ukraine, a strategic resources only after the war. and uh, we can uh do it only when uh, the territory of u grant will be de occupied when it will be liberated because manual such resources are right now are located in the territories occupied by russia. but donald trump has said, maybe ukraine will be russian, maybe not a statement that is confused many here and but even if the war ends tomorrow, ukraine has to be safe. an open said business. one of the many challenges to that other line minds that russia has thrown across the east, it's slo d

the us present says russia and ukraine, folk peace. but we'll see you don't have any say in a final deal on who will be responsible for maintaining the inside story, the hello and welcome to the program. and it's, we're on the way to getting peace. that's what us present. donald trump said, after speaking to the leaders of russia and ukraine, after a lengthy phone conversation with vladimir putin and ida shultz, a one with one of them is a landscape. trump seems confident a deal can be struck, but who will come out on top? trump imputed have plans to meet 1st in saudi arabia and follow with mutual state visits. it's not a sign the landscape might be sidelined from the negotiations. what about europe with you? crazy and nato membership seemingly off the table. how can the regions future secure to be guaranteed? we'll get to those questions in a moment. the 1st is report by michael apple that i will get the problem solved and he didn't end it as quickly as he promised on the campaign trail. and it will take me no longer than one day, but

able to start with you. numerous european leaders of warned against any peace talks between the us and russia that don't include the ukrainians, and europeans or their voices being heard is hold on. so it is no, it looks like it united states to keep donald trump. it is one and one telephone conversation with vladimir putin sent the intention to others told very soon were still to learn whether there is any talking going on in formerly out of sight in the car doors here at the munich security conference. because that's really where the real political dealing is taking place and that is what makes the meeting security conference so different from many others that people here can meet without so saturday, everybody learning about it. but the europeans, the ottoman sticking germantown sort of salts, came out again, saying that ukraine, that europe must have a seat at the table. but that is still an open question and everybody here will be hanging on the list of vice president said events when he speaks here in munich. and the initial time from now is a speech by us buys, present. judy vance is s

of the war in 2022, everything the us keep coming out of the us was that was sanction sanction sanctions, let's make, let's get to the russia outside of the a, i would say the world community and the invest that was a policy coming out of the us and brussels. and now the trip is coming out like a right not servicing the porcelain shop, and he's destroying all of that. so yeah, this, this is extremely interesting. and he is, he is very unpredictable as you say, donald trump. but he has made some bold statement and is one of them being said, you know, he's okay with russia's dom loans against nathan membership for ukraine. also. i think that there were tons of pre 2014 board is, is unlikely. i mean, do you expect for landscape to break this news towards citizens? how could he do so when you know they would drag it into this will also the sake of joining the. so when we taking those territories, that is the 0, the is in such a bad position. i really would like not to do, i would really wouldn't like to be in his shoes today. he has promised so much, don't forget that ukrainians voted for him to end toward the civil war and ukr

know, for example, us aid has funded 90 percent of all media in the ukraine, the pro need or pro us russia, phobic, anti russian media, 90 percent funded by the u. s. foreign policy establishment. so by trump doing all of this. busy it was tr, i'm going to do is you're gonna take that $44000000000.00 in the budget of usa. does he go ahead and invest it, like he promised to in the midwest and across united states? that would be an amazing thing. we, we, we would be grateful for, are they gonna re purpose this $44000000000.00 into the pen to go right into the c . i a into the state department to continue to over throw in metal in countries like bangladesh, like haiti, like cuba, like ukraine. look at romania in any present around the world who says no, we don't want a new us base and bangladesh all romania, that purse person that has to be over throw. so the world can see clearer than ever we in time period, elizabeth saying for decades that us aid is indeed one of the main instruments of soft imperialism. well, it will also be very interesting, of course, to see how countries all around the

us as a way. i top story, an american teacher who was convicted in russia full drug smuggling has been released under a duel between moscow and washington. box logo has returned to the us where he was warmly welcomed at the white house by president strong before you continue to describe the russian leda as quote generous. i think that mister peyton groaned detained a full positive loc fogel that had worked for the us embassy in russia, and enjoyed diplomatic status until made 2021. he was detained in august, not yet a most go ad forth while trying to smuggle marijuana into the country. photo pleaded guilty, i'm with sentence to 14 is, so trump stays the months. release is the 1st step towards a much bigger agreement, but ending the ukraine conflicts very fair, very reasonable, not like deals you've seen over the years. they were very fair and i think that's going to lead and would have somebody else is being released tomorrow. that you will know of, but we wanted to get this done very important and see wanted to actually fly over and get mark and get them on properly because that could be a pretty to

us ties and relations with russia.ald trump was asked about what he had given he simply replied, not much. could be a step towards the end of russia's war on ukraine. and of course, ukraine, and president zelenskyy because the concern is on the part of the ukrainians they could face increased pressure to make territorial about the events that led up to the surprise release of marc fogel by the kremlin. marc fogel taught history here he had been arrested in at moscow airport, he was 2021atmgscow airportfhe was to be 2021atmascow airportfhe was to be in possession of found to be in possession of he said doctors had marijuana. he said doctors had prescribed punishment 7— -— a m year prison sentence. was a iii’fis’a’r’p’rissfi iéntente president suddenly president trump's and secures his envoy flies in and secures his and donald trump's release and donald trump's advisors national security advisors released a saying national security advisors rele the a saying national security advisors rele the trump saying that the trump a
