what the russians have come up with of course is the notorious arms dealer, viktor bout, who's servingntence in an american prison. they want him. they want others too in exchange for brittney griner and paul whelan. but there hasn't been an agreement on the sort of detail of what that would involve. it must be incredibly frustrating for brittney griner and her family. she appeared by video conference, making an impassioned plea to the judge to reduce her sentence significantly. she talks about how agonizing it was to be away from her family. but those kinds of emotional appeals simply fell on deaf ears. the lawyers for brittney griner, who have been doing a sterling job trying to represent her, saying that bitterly disappointed. that there was very little done in the course in terms of alleviating her sentence. they reduced it by a couple of months. instead of nine years, she'll serve something in the region of eight and a half. but that's nothing to ease the suffering and the pain of this basketball star who is now marooned in russia until an unless a deal with the united states is d

viktor bout is a person, a real criminal, by the way, let's just be clear about that, but he's somebodyion and russia, it would be a major achievement for putin politically and domestically to get him out, and that makes me cautiously optimistic that there might be a way to do a trade here. >> i want to also play president joe biden on the dirty bomb sort of ploy in the conversation about this, and get your clarity on that as well. >> the dirty bomb allegations from russia as it relates to ukraine, do you believe this is the beginning of a false flag operation? is russia preparing to deploy a dirty bomb itself or a nuclear weapon? >> i spent a lot of time today talking about that. let me just say, russia would be making an incredibly serious mistake if they were to use a tactical nuclear weapon. >> the president sharing that he spent a lot of time in briefings on that topic, and a warning, a pointed one. is the question correct, though, is this the russian playbook to accuse ukraine of something you plan to do yourself and should we all be on heightened alert for that? >> it's definitel

sentence for a long time a hostage of the american regime, our citizen is absolutely wonderful viktor bout it’s not very clear how to regard the latest statements by the white house biden regarding negotiations, then you come to me, then i myself will not come to you. now, if it’s about the grainer, then we’ll talk, we won’t talk about ukraine. well, in general, we'll see, and then the white house declares that no, no, we are not planning any sentences in bali at the g20 summit valentine good evening evgeny olga well, how should we regard them? yes , like everything that is happening now in the united states, through the prism of the midterm elections, you see the whole set behind me. here they elect both, uh, members of the house of representatives and senators and so on. we are. like you said in southern illinois. uh, this is a rare place in a democratic state where they vote for republicans, but uh , biden, of course, needs every opportunity now to improve, uh, the position of his party before the elections and naturally. uh, they're talking about a prisoner exchange. uh, through uh, th

if viktor bout were finally released, it is fair and honest, and we very much hope that such a result for a start, as they say, and then seli already divided ukraine well, probably, we imagine all this, and we and they, and how else, it has already collapsed more about ukraine, there is no one to talk to. well, it’s not ursula’s line to discuss the funds, which is openly rude to the leader of china a after that, ursula vonderlein will leave china for some kind of improvement of relations. but xindinping china will remain, and it seems to me, hmm, the misunderstanding of this on the part of european politicians once again demonstrates to us, well, the level of their independence , the level of thinking and the results of their rule of europe , if there is the same one hopes for an umbrella network, then let's listen. the failure of russia alone will not save the rules-based world order, because the kremlin's revisionism is not the only or the most serious threat, the rules-based order, the so-called partnership without borders proclaimed by vladimir putin and xi jinping is also a clear

volkswagen will continue to supply weapons to ukraine , while the arms barons will be viktor bout , whoan american prison. this is the difference between their policies and their ideas about justice in relation to the war in ukraine, this also applies to the discussion today of the topic of ukraine, in fact, without ukraine, what the macron is talking about, and we must decide the fate of this country without the participation of ukraine itself, which is why he appeals to the pope. he can appeal somewhere else, so he asks biden to sit down at the negotiating table, that is, ukraine only remains in this process, and in the person of here is the petitioner. yes, because recently here is a shygal too . their numbers change all the time. they always ask for different money, then 5 billion. he needs a month, because the sniffing voiced the figure that he needs 38 billion urgently. yes, so that this money goes to the budget in budget of ukraine and the entire ukrainian budget you know how much 39 billion, but just for 38 years, that is, the country. and the moles are quite obvious. now, regar

three of the countries we mentioned, venezuela, iran, and then the griner deal potentially for viktor bout adversaries of the united states. we don't like these regimes. even in the circumstance when we talk about the existence of american citizens being unjustly held, we try our best to get them out. if that means we're prepared to actually let some of their citizens go in a deal, that's been consistent u.s. policy for a long time. this is not a democrat or republican thing. it's unfortunate that marco rubio is scoring a point on this. i agree that's increaingly where our divided and dysfunctional politics in the united states is, but we have nothing but contempt for these regimes, and we work very, very hard to get these americans back to their families. >> ian bremmer, thank you very much for being on. "the power of crisis: how three threats and our response will change the world." >>> still ahead, the trial of five oath keepers including the group's founder will resume in a washington, d.c. courthouse. we'll tell you what the government says about the weapons that the group had standin
