[00:00:25] he is eager to seize
[00:00:26] of upon any
[00:00:27] of words, initiatives or ideas entering the public. discourse
[00:00:31] so he can push for some breathing room, while Russia's foreign
[00:00:34] minister dismisses Zeljanskire calls as a apply to regroup
[00:00:38] Kief's forces, the Kremlin says Vladimir Putin would be ready to hold
[00:00:42] strikes on Ukrain if it genuinely intends to
[00:00:45] of hold an election.
[00:00:48] of The Europeans have given the Russians more
[00:00:52] money, they have since the started this war then they have given the
[00:00:55] Ukrainians because they cannot win themselves off Russian
[00:00:59] energy. Washington blasts the EU's hypocrisy
[00:01:03] over Russian energy imports as
[00:01:04] of German opposition officials demand their own Trump style diesel deal
[00:01:08] with Moscow. It is about ending the sanctions against
[00:01:12] Russia, about building the capacity for peace rather than military
[00:01:16] of readiness. The huti's strike Riyad's main international
[00:01:20] airport three days in a row, killing more than dozen people
[00:01:24] and
[00:01:24] in wounding over
[00:01:26] of 300.
[00:01:34] It's a busy Monday here at RT International, my name is
[00:01:37] of Egor Piskunov, welcome to the program. Zelanski will do
[00:01:41] anything to buy a time to regroup Ukraine's forces, that's the main goal
[00:01:44] of the constant push for a cease fire from Kieve. And this is according to
[00:01:48] Russia's foreign minister Sergio Lavroff in comments about a truth deal
[00:01:52] recently suggested by the
[00:01:54] of United States. In
[00:01:58] recent months, the call for a ceasefire. has replaced the call for inflicting
[00:02:02] a strategic defeat on Russia in the rhetoric of both
[00:02:05] Zelensky and his western masters. The goal is
[00:02:08] singular and very simple, to buy time. He has even said he
[00:02:12] is willing to hold a presidential election, provided he is given two
[00:02:16] months to regroup. During that period, Europe could flood him with new
[00:02:20] weaponry to continue his terrorist war against the Russian
[00:02:23] people. He is eager to seize upon any words, initiatives
[00:02:27] or ideas entering the public discourse. so he can push for some
[00:02:31] breathing room. I do not believe
[00:02:33] he has earned such
[00:02:34] a respit, nor do I think we will once again fall for assurances or
[00:02:38] promises. The president has stated this very clearly. We
[00:02:41] continue to pursue the objectives
[00:02:43] of the special military operation. These objectives are well-known
[00:02:47] to everyone. We have never altered them,
[00:02:50] of unlike the zigzags and evasions of Zelensky and
[00:02:53] of his European masters. The Kremlin has once
[00:02:57] again stressed that a temporary truth is not an option.
[00:03:00] of
[00:03:08] The question was raised regarding Zelensky's statement that he needs 60 days to
[00:03:12] hold elections. Here I have already stated that we do not need a
[00:03:16] true, we need a sustainable peace at lasts for many future
[00:03:19] generations. It is quite obvious that they truly do not want to hold
[00:03:23] elections in. These 60 days of truce are not needed for
[00:03:27] elections, but rather to gather strength.
[00:03:38] will be prepared to issue an order not to strike Ukraine on the day
[00:03:41] of the elections, specifically on the day
[00:03:43] of the elections. This is the second time
[00:03:47] in mere
[00:03:48] of weeks that we've heard Donald Trump
[00:03:50] a come out and declare an energy cease fire between
[00:03:54] Russia and Ukraine. This time, as last
[00:03:57] of time, Zelensky coming out within minutes. comment and saying
[00:04:01] of that, well, this is the first time he's heard of it, saying that if
[00:04:05] Russia and the United States had agreed on an LGC fire, well,
[00:04:09] please inform Ukraine, and that Ukraine would be
[00:04:12] willing
[00:04:13] in to join in, now that is a far cry from what we heard
[00:04:17] last time when
[00:04:18] of Zelensky put forward a slew of precondition saying that Russia
[00:04:22] would also have to hold hold strikes on Ukrainian logistics
[00:04:26] and also hold strikes on Ukrainian shipping after.
[00:04:30] Zelensky himself ordered his military to begin
[00:04:32] targeting Russian shipping, nevertheless, Donald
[00:04:36] Trump coming out and saying that, well perhaps it's it's time for
[00:04:40] new leader has certainly made Zelensky more
[00:04:44] pliable should have never started, you wouldn't have lost 30% of
[00:04:48] your country already, you've lost
[00:04:50] of 30% of your country and you've had over million
[00:04:54] people killed, but he could have settled it many times and he chose not
[00:04:58] to, that's a war that should have.
[00:05:12] election simply couldn't be held in Ukraine, but simply too many
[00:05:16] people had left, that too many people had now become Russian
[00:05:20] citizens living across the donbas and Zaparoja region
[00:05:24] in Hirson region, suddenly elections are
[00:05:27] again possible, please tell Putin,
[00:05:31] give us two months, 60 days
[00:05:34] of total seas fire, 60 days and we will
[00:05:38] organize elections, of course we will be ready. for
[00:05:42] any choice of our people, exactly Ukrainian
[00:05:46] people,
[00:05:47] and that is exactly what Russia has been
[00:05:50] referring to, and perhaps even Donald Trump himself, saying
[00:05:54] that every deal that they put forward to Zelensky, every
[00:05:58] offer is rejected on the basis that
[00:06:01] Zelensky puts forward counter
[00:06:05] demands that make any deal impossible. In this
[00:06:08] case, two-month seizfire for Zelensky to organize.
[00:06:13] elections, something that Russia had previously said it
[00:06:16] would simply be unable to accept, because those
[00:06:20] two months would be used by Ukraine to
[00:06:24] show up its military to rearm, retrain its troops and
[00:06:28] Ukraine would be flooded uh pumped to the
[00:06:32] teeth with weapons, with munitions, with
[00:06:35] drones, with rockets and missiles for
[00:06:39] round two, Russia said that it managed to
[00:06:43] organize elections uh during the
[00:06:46] conflict, indeed Ukraine launched its biggest attack on
[00:06:50] Moscow during those September parliamentary elections
[00:06:53] in Russia, nevertheless the elections were successful and
[00:06:57] so could Ukraine. Nevertheless that is
[00:07:01] uh Zelensky's style to put forward conditions which
[00:07:05] make simply any deal impossible.
[00:07:08] Zelensky even felt confident enough to accuse.
[00:07:12] Trump multiple times of being weak for
[00:07:16] engaging with Russia. He called the
[00:07:20] president week, two days ago and bombed oil refineries moments after the
[00:07:24] president announced a deal with Russia. Let's stop pretending that he's a good
[00:07:28] ally. Now Zelensky's complaint is
[00:07:31] that it's him rather than Putin that
[00:07:35] Donald Trump is pressuring that
[00:07:38] again uh the the American president is this.
[00:07:43] weakness according to Zelensky by pressuring
[00:07:47] Zelensky. This is, the same Zelensky that has put
[00:07:51] Ukraine on the hook of Europe and the United
[00:07:55] States. Almost all those rockets and munition shells
[00:07:58] coming into Ukraine are from the United
[00:08:02] States paid for by Europeans, so of course
[00:08:05] there's a pressure mechanism on Zelensky, whereas
[00:08:09] Russia isn't dependent on the United States. or Europe
[00:08:13] for anything, nevertheless Zelensky believes it is
[00:08:16] he personally who is the victim, why are
[00:08:20] they blaming you for the continuation of
[00:08:23] this war? because these
[00:08:27] people can't find a key how to
[00:08:31] stop Putin, because it's
[00:08:35] more difficult to stop
[00:08:39] Putin than to pressure others. Nevertheless. Yes,
[00:08:42] now Zelensky much less defined than he had
[00:08:46] been previously. There are also now reports that the Ukrainian
[00:08:50] negotiation team in the United States in Miami for
[00:08:54] talks was threatened by the American side with cut
[00:08:58] in unitian supplies. If Ukraine persisted
[00:09:02] in strikes on Russian oil refineries for little
[00:09:05] background. Russia before this conflict supplied more than
[00:09:09] 10% the world's oil export. It
[00:09:13] supplied more than 20% of global natural
[00:09:17] gas export,
[00:09:18] there was a huge quantity is that even if
[00:09:22] the conflict in the middle east hadn't broken out and cut supplies, from
[00:09:26] there
[00:09:27] uh a shortage of Russian supplies would be felt in every country in
[00:09:31] the world, the United States is on the eve of elections, it is
[00:09:35] often said that Americans vote at the pump and incredibly
[00:09:38] reliant on cheap fuel now that the...
[00:09:42] United States and Russia had made deal to supply diesel, to
[00:09:46] supply also uh uh raw
[00:09:49] oil, the Ukrainian side, Zelensky coming out and
[00:09:53] saying he would continue to burn Russian oil
[00:09:56] refineries is insulting of course for Donald Trump
[00:10:00] himself, but it seems that this time
[00:10:04] after second round, the worst falling out between
[00:10:07] Zelensky and Donald Trump since early
[00:10:11] 2025. Zelensky has become more
[00:10:15] pliable, and for more on this, let's
[00:10:19] cross live now to political risk consultant and lawyer Adrielle
[00:10:22] Casanta, welcome to the program, sir. so Russia's foreign
[00:10:26] minister says Zelensky is bent on promoting himself and
[00:10:30] his own goals to the detriment the Ukrainian people. What do you think
[00:10:34] about that statement? uh, well, I completely agree with that
[00:10:38] statement, because the recent reaction, the
[00:10:41] outburs of anger from the
[00:10:44] Ukrainian leader, after the quite
[00:10:48] historical words coming from the mouth the
[00:10:51] President the United States Donald Trump, that the...
[00:10:55] democratic election should be um uh put in place
[00:10:59] in in Ukraine because the current leader is not serving his
[00:11:03] nation and the um its
[00:11:06] resondert uh rightfully um
[00:11:10] so basically um Mr. Zelinski is putting everything
[00:11:14] into one basket so basically she's he's playing a Russian
[00:11:18] rule quite simply put it uh because he's
[00:11:21] betting on uh uh democrats coming to power.
[00:11:25] after the midterms elections uh related to
[00:11:28] dispopularity uh the Donald Trump in the United States due to
[00:11:32] his um unnecessary conflict with Iran, so
[00:11:36] uh uh basically the
[00:11:37] uh uh
[00:11:39] the uh uh the thinking in Brussels and both in in
[00:11:42] in in Kiev and Brussels is that once the democrats will uh take the
[00:11:45] majority in the United States, the uh the previous
[00:11:49] scenario which is continuation of maximum pressure
[00:11:53] on Russia and supplying.
[00:11:58] money and weapons will continue, so I think
[00:12:01] that this
[00:12:02] is the one way street um for for Mr. Zelinski,
[00:12:06] because maybe even if the democrats will come to power
[00:12:09] still the Donald Trump is a president and has a
[00:12:12] significant influence over the foreign policy of his
[00:12:16] own uh country, so I i think that making an enemies
[00:12:20] both with Russia and United States who is the main
[00:12:23] sponsor, who has been the main sponsor of this unnecessary conflict uh
[00:12:27] is very dangerous uh a game plan from Mr. Zelinski in
[00:12:31] his political circle and Donald Trump also insists
[00:12:34] that uh Moscow and Kiev are agreeing to stop striking energy
[00:12:38] infrastructure but this is a mid the new deal for Russia to supply
[00:12:42] diesel fuel to the US of course meanwhile Zelensky
[00:12:46] frankly doesn't appear eager to honor the agreement. Are we about to witness Kief
[00:12:50] risking its ties with the US in order to keep attacking
[00:12:53] Russia? "uh, indeed, I think that he's not
[00:12:57] risking, he already risk his uh um relationship
[00:13:01] with United States, because uh, I think that still it is very
[00:13:05] foolish from any leader in the world scene
[00:13:09] uh to um uh to go uh uh publicly against
[00:13:13] the uh verbally
[00:13:14] and publicly against the leader the United States uh so I think that he
[00:13:17] cross rubicon with this
[00:13:21] regard, but Mr. Donald Trump, whether it is a..."
[00:13:26] his genius as a president or maybe
[00:13:30] some kind of luck, he's trying to kill two
[00:13:34] two birds with one stone, because we have to bear in mind that the conversation
[00:13:38] with - President Vladimir Putin was related to Ukraine,
[00:13:42] but also to Iran, and I think that Mr. Donald Trump is trying
[00:13:45] to somehow solve the problem, energy crisis by
[00:13:49] including Russia in the uh uh energy
[00:13:53] supply
[00:13:54] um and the global global market and also wanting
[00:13:58] Mr. Mr. Vladimir Putin to somehow mediate and help
[00:14:02] United States to save uh their face
[00:14:06] and and and somehow um bring the conflict with Iran to the
[00:14:10] end in the in the best possible way that it can
[00:14:14] be finished at that point of this
[00:14:17] unnecessary conflict being protracting for for many weeks and months
[00:14:21] so I think that here we can see a big boys talking about geopolitic.
[00:14:25] and and and and
[00:14:26] and and Europe is trying to to somehow
[00:14:30] bring and and and and keep united states committing
[00:14:34] itself to this uh unnecessary conflict in eastern Europe
[00:14:38] which should be resolved. let's talk about uh Washington's
[00:14:42] leverage over Kiev some more because there have been reports
[00:14:45] suggesting the US might stop intelligence
[00:14:49] sharing and refrain from providing starlink internet to
[00:14:52] Ukraine uh what else could be at stake? here do you
[00:14:55] think? well, i think that the main the main
[00:14:59] objectives when it comes to - big
[00:15:02] strategy of united states has been accomplished, so uh united
[00:15:06] states doesn't see itself any longer needed
[00:15:10] to to be part of this conflict, mean they have they secured the mineral deal
[00:15:14] with with Ukraine, they um uh provided
[00:15:18] multiple lawns that soon or later will have to
[00:15:21] be paid back in one way or another.
[00:15:25] Uh, and also we've heard recently that
[00:15:28] certain ideas related to sharing the
[00:15:32] uh uh uh burden of of of
[00:15:33] northstream um reactivation.
[00:15:37] between Germany and Russia and United States also uh being on the
[00:15:41] table, so I think that United States can uh simply
[00:15:45] put it switch the light, in other words, the
[00:15:49] supply of weapons and and and and money to to Ukraine, and then
[00:15:52] Europe will be in the situation
[00:15:56] where they will have to either uh come up terms with
[00:15:59] the reality that the United States want to make business with Russia and
[00:16:03] they most certainly will not go to war with - another nuclear.
[00:16:07] power or they will try to
[00:16:11] play play their hand until the very end of our continent and possibly
[00:16:15] the entire globe and and and and try to
[00:16:19] somehow start some false flag
[00:16:22] event in Europe and betting on the
[00:16:25] goodwill the United States and and and and and and using the
[00:16:29] sacrosanct article 5 which is not going to happen because we
[00:16:33] recently heard from Poland that there was some information about the
[00:16:36] potential assassination attempts on prime minister and the minister of
[00:16:40] defense, I mean these are clearly some kind of
[00:16:43] doji news coming from from from
[00:16:47] from from this eastern borderlands countries uh
[00:16:50] which hugely uh benefit from the ongoing
[00:16:54] conflict in Ukraine, first firstly demographically because lot of Ukrainian
[00:16:58] people uh somehow uh uh emigrated to Poland
[00:17:02] and other countries um the European Union and they
[00:17:05] somehow improved the... uh demographic statistics and on the other
[00:17:09] hand they also want to uh be seen as
[00:17:13] the main road roads and hubs for
[00:17:17] military industrial complex of united states because it also the
[00:17:21] economic incentives are also following by being a hub
[00:17:25] for for for weapon supply to Ukraine so lot of
[00:17:28] people have clear interest in in in in seeing this this this
[00:17:32] conflict protracting but United States
[00:17:35] visibly doesn't have the... resources and the
[00:17:38] strategic will or need to continue
[00:17:42] its presence in in this unnecessary conflict with Russia, so Europe
[00:17:46] has two choices, either meet the reality and and and
[00:17:50] follow follow the example of United States or
[00:17:53] - god forbid try
[00:17:57] to play the Russian rule and try escalate some
[00:18:00] potential conflict with Russia which would be devastate
[00:18:04] devastating for the entire continent uh potentially
[00:18:08] entire globe all right, hopefully they'll choose the
[00:18:12] first variant, adanta political risk consultant and lawyer, i
[00:18:15] appreciate you taking the time and sharing your thoughts with us on this,
[00:18:19] thank you for having me. oil prices have
[00:18:23] fallen on expectations of increased russian supplies, although
[00:18:26] quote quotes still remain above $100, as part
[00:18:30] the US russian diesel agreement, moscow will supply more than
[00:18:33] 300 thous tons of diesel to american and global.
[00:18:37] markets followed by a further half million tons in
[00:18:40] November, and according to President Trump, additional 1 million
[00:18:44] tons will be delivered immediately thereafter, with another 3
[00:18:48] million tons to follow depending on the condition of Russia's
[00:18:52] refineries. US treasury secretary Scott Bessent has
[00:18:56] accused European leaders of hypocrisy. This in response to
[00:18:59] the EU foreign policy chief speaking out against Washington's energy deal
[00:19:03] with Moscow. The Europeans have.
[00:19:07] given the Russians more money, they since the started this
[00:19:11] war then they have given the Ukrainians, because they cannot win themselves
[00:19:15] off Russian energy. They had a failed energy
[00:19:19] policy, and Vladimir Putin, the they
[00:19:22] continue to fund him, so for them to say that
[00:19:26] we cannot have respit in diesel pricing
[00:19:30] is completely hypocritical. Vladimir
[00:19:33] Zelansky has been stepping up his efforts to secure additional.
[00:19:37] support by reaching out to leaders across Europe, and this comes amid
[00:19:41] Trump's latest statements about the Ukrainian politician and the need
[00:19:45] for elections in Ukraine. He has spoken with the heads of state from
[00:19:48] France, the UK and Poland attempts to get their
[00:19:52] backing. And some the
[00:19:56] same countries that Zelensky has appealed to, clearly have not
[00:20:00] benefited from breaking up trade relations with Russia, at least according to
[00:20:04] data. In the UK, the fuel crisis. brought on
[00:20:08] by sanctions on Russian energy has cost its economy and
[00:20:11] estimated 183 billion
[00:20:15] pounds over four years, including higher household,
[00:20:18] electricity and heating bills. in France, the government's
[00:20:22] energy tariff shield has helped minimize the
[00:20:25] impact on consumers, with the bank de frances estimating its
[00:20:29] fiscal cost at around 2.2% of GDP over
[00:20:33] 2022 and 2023, and in
[00:20:36] Germany, Economic losses linked to mitigating the energy
[00:20:40] crisis are estimated to have exceeded 50
[00:20:43] billion euros. Claudia widing, a German opposition politician
[00:20:47] from the BSW party argues. that restricting
[00:20:51] trade with Russia has only hurt Europeans
[00:20:54] and European consumers, particularly in
[00:20:58] Germany. In that
[00:21:02] sense, I see no major contradiction acknowledging that peace negotiations with
[00:21:05] Russia are not within the powers of a state government. In this motion, we call
[00:21:09] on the federal government to use every means its disposal, including an
[00:21:14] that diplomacy initiative once
[00:21:15] ensure again to takes priority, that the focus
[00:21:19] returns to neg.
[00:21:19] Instead,
[00:21:30] they have seriously damaged the economy. After
[00:21:33] the inaugural session the German saxont
[00:21:37] State Parliament, opposition parties AFD and BSW plan to
[00:21:41] introduce their first joint draft resolution. The proposal
[00:21:44] calls on the parliament to declare that sanctions against Russia as well as
[00:21:48] military and financial support. for Ukraine have failed, we
[00:21:52] spoke with law makers from both parties to understand the motivations
[00:21:56] driving this initiative. On the
[00:21:59] one hand, they claim that Ukraine can defeat Russia, on the other, they claim
[00:22:03] that Russia is about to attack NATO. Neither these narratives is internally
[00:22:07] consistent, and it is our task including from within parliament, to
[00:22:11] refocus attention on the fact that these issues are being discussed a completely
[00:22:14] misguided way, and we are also showing here in Saxanhal that a
[00:22:18] political shift has taken. place and that the majority of people in the state have
[00:22:22] voted for parties
[00:22:23] that do not want
[00:22:24] to continue pursuing this course. for the BSW, one the central
[00:22:27] issues throughout our election campaign was the genuine and consistent implementation of a
[00:22:31] peace policy, and we also know from surveys that the majority of AFD
[00:22:35] voters w precisely the same thing. an end to this war mongering and
[00:22:39] escalation, so what we see here and
[00:22:41] what our motion demonstrates is that a large majority the population has come out
[00:22:45] in favor of ending this course. we want
[00:22:49] to spark debate about the war with this motion, we want this motion to help
[00:22:53] bring an end to the deaths on both the Russian and Ukrainian sides,
[00:22:57] so that young people no longer die in the war. We want to end the sanctions against
[00:23:01] Russia here, because these sanctions affect the German and Russian populations
[00:23:05] more than they affect politicians, and that is why this motion is so
[00:23:08] important. It is about ending the sanctions against Russia, about building the
[00:23:12] capacity for peace rather than military readiness. Chancellor Murz said that we
[00:23:16] must become ready for war, no, we must become committed to peace. peace
[00:23:20] in the world, that is why it
[00:23:21] is so important to initiate this debate and revive it here in
[00:23:25] Germany, so that the war can be brought to an end through
[00:23:28] diplomacy. If you want to know more
[00:23:31] about what lies behind the diesel deal between Moscow and
[00:23:35] Washington, and whether
[00:23:36] it can be a turning point in the conflict, head to our website,

[00:23:46] Saudi Arabia has issued urgent alerts for civilians in a
[00:23:50] southern part the country near the border with Yemen, and this is after
[00:23:54] houti missile attack on the city of Abha. Reports say
[00:23:58] Saudi air defenses managed to intercept an incoming ballistic missile, and
[00:24:01] this video shows plooms of smoke that could be seen arising
[00:24:05] from the apparent impact points in the city. The Yemeni Khuthis have been
[00:24:09] launching projectiles across the border into Saudi Arabia as the
[00:24:13] two countries engaged in increasingly volatile
[00:24:16] conflict. And there was uh
[00:24:20] devastating attack by the Yemani Hufis on Riyad's main international
[00:24:24] airport on Saturday. The death toll from that strike has now risen to
[00:24:27] 13 after an Indian national succumbed to his
[00:24:30] injuries. The Yemenihuthies struck the airport in the Saudi
[00:24:34] capital several times over the past week. This CCTV
[00:24:38] footage shows Saturday's attack which was the most
[00:24:41] devastating. Authorities say total of 17 people have been killed
[00:24:45] and more than 300 wounded. Houti spokesperson
[00:24:49] Mohammed. said it carried out the attacks in
[00:24:53] retaliation for Saudi
[00:24:54] aggression.
[00:25:32] These attacks are Yemeni attacks. We do not do this out of revenge or to take
[00:25:36] vengeance, but rather to force the Saudi leadership to accept a comprehensive and
[00:25:40] permanent peace by agreeing to end the war. When
[00:25:44] asked about the conflict, Donald Trump said it could be possible that the Americans
[00:25:48] could join in the fight to support. their ally Saudi Arabia, our
[00:25:51] correspondent Muhammad has the
[00:25:53] story. There are heavy casualties from
[00:25:57] Huty attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyad. The death toll is
[00:26:01] expected to. continue to rise with many wounded among Saudi citizens and
[00:26:05] foreigners. The coalition views these attacks as the beginning of a full-scale war and
[00:26:09] heinous act that is contrary to generally accepted values and moral
[00:26:12] standards. The response will be fierce and in accordance with the norms of
[00:26:16] international humanitarian law, amaid international condemnation,
[00:26:20] Islamabad reaffirms its position under the Mecca defense agreement as well
[00:26:24] as its commitments to ensuring the kingdom security and sovereignty. Statements
[00:26:28] by the US president regarding the possibility of strikes against the hoothies open up
[00:26:32] the... prospect of definitive resolution to the Yemen crisis. The
[00:26:35] kingdom declares that the hoothi strikes constitute an act of terrorism that
[00:26:39] runs counter to moral principles and humanitarian values against
[00:26:43] this backdrop. Saudi Arabia is garnering international Islamic and Arab
[00:26:47] support for its position and the measures it is taking safeguard its
[00:26:51] sovereignty and security. The coalition is threatening decisive
[00:26:54] response by invoking the collective deterrence mechanism under the Mecca
[00:26:58] pact. Amid the prospect of US intervention, the standoff with the
[00:27:01] hoothies. is approaching a dangerous turning point. the key question is
[00:27:05] how far the conflict will expand and whether new actors from outside Yemen and
[00:27:09] Saudi Arabia will become involved. we spoke
[00:27:13] with the Saudi political researcher and he believes that
[00:27:16] Washington has already been drawn into the
[00:27:19] conflict. the US is enforced
[00:27:22] already by providing intelligence
[00:27:26] and cooperate in many
[00:27:28] matters, security
[00:27:31] matters. also by providing what
[00:27:34] saudi forces needed for equipment and
[00:27:37] amunition. what you are talking about is
[00:27:40] whether the united states will help
[00:27:44] in attacking this
[00:27:48] sources of fire and whether they will
[00:27:52] support directly the yemeny government, well that's
[00:27:56] a matter to be considered and according to Trump he didn't
[00:28:00] decided yet, but a country as fast as
[00:28:04] Saudi Arabia, so many cities, so
[00:28:07] many oil installation, so many ports, we have
[00:28:10] 28 airports in Saudi Arabia, so
[00:28:14] protecting this much land and this
[00:28:17] much facilities will
[00:28:20] require lots of investment, lots of
[00:28:23] work, and I believe they are working on this, the other
[00:28:27] side is getting improved
[00:28:30] abilities like, the new missiles they
[00:28:34] are using against Saudi Arabia, they have all
[00:28:38] the the fingerprints of
[00:28:41] Iran on on that, and they have also
[00:28:45] Iranian expert and Lebanese and
[00:28:48] others helping them to do that, so let us wait and
[00:28:52] see, but I expect Saudi Arabia to improve its
[00:28:56] facility as well to respond to all this new
[00:28:59] development. This is our team. I'm bringing you
[00:29:03] news and analysis from across the globe. Thanks for staying
[00:29:06] with us.
[00:29:46] I'm Ashshan, welcome back to going underground broadcast single around the world from the
[00:29:50] UAE on the anniversary the European Union winning the Nobel Peace
[00:29:53] Prize. Today leaders from that grouping which
[00:29:56] is armed genocide in Gaza meet at something called the
[00:29:59] Warsaw Security Forum. Speakers will have. ly call for the
[00:30:03] destruction the Russian Federation, not just Ukrainian dictator
[00:30:06] Zelensky who has been given long-range missiles by Britain and
[00:30:10] Intel from the CIA to kill civilians in Russia. It's also four
[00:30:14] years today that 143 out of 193 UN general
[00:30:18] assembly member states voted to condemn Russia for referendums in the
[00:30:22] Donbas, Carson and Zaparia. Democracy in the economies of western
[00:30:26] European states that did so are now in chaos as uprisings rage
[00:30:30] in Spain and France. Joining me again is someone. Who was recently at
[00:30:33] the latest UN General Assembly in New York, he has
[00:30:36] tirelessly fought for the war in Europe to end, before
[00:30:40] the 24th February 2022, he advised US officials to
[00:30:44] publicly admit Ukraine would not be permitted NATO membership. Professor Jeffrey
[00:30:48] Sax is the director of Columbia University's center for sustainable development,
[00:30:52] president the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and former advisor to UN
[00:30:56] secretaries general, General Kofianan, Banki Moon and Antonio.
