00:01:01investigation. MUSIC MUSIC Hello,
00:01:05Hello, I'm Amanda Walker. Thanks Thanks for being with us. We start
00:01:08start in the Ukrainian capital as as we go to air. Kyiv is facing another
00:01:12another night of deadly Russian air air strikes. Local officials say
00:01:15say one person has been killed in in a strike on an apartment block.
00:01:18block. It's unclear how many are are injured. This is the latest in
00:01:22in a series of Russian attacks following
00:01:23following a tense and uncertain 48
00:01:2648 hours on Saturday, President Trump
00:01:29Trump appeared to unilaterally announce announce an energy ceasefire between
00:01:32between Russia and Ukraine. President President Zelensky said he would
00:01:35would support it but accused Russia
00:01:36Russia of attacking six energy facilities
00:01:39facilities less than 24 hours after after it was announced. Well, these
00:01:43these strikes, said Volodymyr Zelensky, Zelensky, was Putin's answer to President
00:01:47President Trump. There's been no no confirmation from the Kremlin
00:01:49Kremlin of any agreement on a ceasefire. ceasefire. Russia's foreign minister
00:01:53minister says Ukraine doesn't deserve deserve any respite. Well, this was
00:01:57was President Trump's response to to those conflicting reports. Well,
00:02:00Well, they agreed. You know why?
00:02:02why? Because I said you agree. That's
00:02:05That's why they agreed. Because I I said they agreed. And that thing
00:02:09thing has to get settled. That war
00:02:11war is a disaster. Maryan Zablotskyy Zablotskyy is a Ukrainian MP. He
00:02:15He spoke to me just a few minutes minutes after leaving an emergency
00:02:19emergency shelter following tonight's
00:02:20tonight's latest air raids in Kyiv.
00:02:24Kyiv. Well, just 45 minutes ago we we had like four ballistic missile missile strikes. So unfortunately,
00:02:28unfortunately, I had to leave this this office. But now things feel
00:02:31feel relatively safe. But relatively
00:02:34relatively safe is always quite relative. relative. So I have a special screen
00:02:38screen here as I serve in the interior
00:02:40interior unit. So I see at least
00:02:42least one jet powered Iranian Russian Russian drone hovering over Kyiv.
00:02:46Kyiv. What's it like living through
00:02:48through this so many years on? Well,
00:02:52Well, human beings get used to everything. everything. Plus you have this frustration
00:02:55frustration at the enemy and the the Russians, you know, to really
00:02:58really stand on and to take this
00:03:01this fight to their territory. Let's Let's talk a bit about what's been
00:03:04been happening. Donald Trump saying
00:03:06saying that Ukraine should hold wartime wartime elections essentially should
00:03:10should ditch its president. What's What's the reaction in Ukraine when
00:03:13when Donald Trump says things like
00:03:16like that? Well, currently it's a a difficult period for both Ukraine
00:03:20Ukraine and US since it's a pre-election pre-election period in, in the United
00:03:23United States. And we have learned learned the hard way that we have
00:03:26have to be very careful at what we we say and what we do in order not
00:03:29not to impact these elections. Well,
00:03:31Well, I want to say is that we appreciate
00:03:34appreciate the help of United States
00:03:37States governments, people we know know that in the vast majority American
00:03:41American hearts are with Ukraine, Ukraine, and we hope we get through
00:03:45through this difficult politically politically intense election related
00:03:47related period. As you say there, there, that the hope is that America
00:03:51America is with Ukraine. But does does that hope fade when you hear
00:03:55hear things like that? And also when when you look that President Trump
00:03:59Trump is lifting sanctions on Russian
00:04:03Russian diesel, how do Ukrainians Ukrainians I know it's not a monolith, monolith, but how do people feel
00:04:06feel about that? What conversations
00:04:08conversations are you hearing? Well,
00:04:11Well, it's no, it's not the first first time it's happened with this
00:04:15this administration. It's been happening happening over for many administrations
00:04:18administrations before. I do remember
00:04:21remember during the first Russian
00:04:22Russian invasion on Donbas and Crimea,
00:04:25Crimea, United States under Obama Obama administration refused to sell
00:04:28sell us any weapons. So I guess it
00:04:31it changes from cycle to cycle. But But I do wish that United States
00:04:35States politics would be more long-term
00:04:37long-term and not short-term connected connected to elections because, you
00:04:40you know, we when we made a long-term long-term commitment to get rid of
00:04:44of nuclear weapons, this was not not really conditional on us having
00:04:47having different elections at different different periods of time and us
00:04:51us changing our mind. And this lifting
00:04:53lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel diesel has really caused shockwaves
00:04:57shockwaves in the international community. community. And here in Washington,
00:05:00Washington, DC., how much of a surprise surprise was that? And what's the
00:05:04the take from Ukraine in terms of
00:05:05of this just being a gift to Putin,
00:05:09Putin, essentially? Well, we advocate
00:05:12advocate strongly for not any single single country to buy any oil or
00:05:15or gas from Russia. You know, it's
00:05:17it's not conditioned on us specifically. specifically. Previously we had such
00:05:20such pilots, for example, with Mr
00:05:23Mr Orban who lost his elections quite
00:05:28quite recently. Unfortunately, any
00:05:31any money paid to Russia or blood blood money because about half of
00:05:34of Russians budget, about half of of the profits that they get and
00:05:38and they use it to finance weapons weapons that kill Ukrainians. And
00:05:41And not only that, you know, they they send this money to buy weapons
00:05:45weapons from North Korea. They send send this money to buy drones from
00:05:49from Iran. And we are currently being
00:05:51being bombed by Iranian drones. So
00:05:53So this in the end may cost lives lives all around the world, including
00:05:57including those in the Middle East East and those of American
00:06:00soldiers. Yeah, everything connects. connects. Where do you think Ukraine
00:06:04Ukraine goes from here? And what what do you see as the future of
00:06:07of US support? Do you think it will will continue to go up and down,
00:06:10down, or do you see this as potentially potentially a moment where it really
00:06:13really does fade? I think historically
00:06:18historically US had a complicated complicated relationships with their their allies. If you look at also
00:06:21also at Kurds, if you look at what what happened in Afghanistan, I've
00:06:25I've always been advocating for us us to call for Ukrainian diaspora
00:06:29diaspora to be more active in elections elections in the United States. And
00:06:32And that seems to be the key for
00:06:34for US support. I wish that your
00:06:37your support was not so connected connected to election cycles. Unfortunately
00:06:40Unfortunately it is. We have what what we have. But on the bright side,
00:06:43side, you know, if we look at all all the other countries in the world,
00:06:47world, there's not so much of the the democratic and civilised world
00:06:50world that is out there and that
00:06:52that is helping Ukraine. And US is
00:06:55is still, still helping Ukraine quite quite a lot with weapons sales and
00:06:59and with intelligence sharing. OK. OK. That was Ukrainian MP Maryan
00:07:02Maryan Zablotskyy. Well, on Monday, Monday, the Ukrainian leader told
00:07:05told the Warsaw Security Forum that that Kyiv would retaliate if Russian
00:07:09Russian strikes on the country's
00:07:10country's energy grid continued.
00:07:15continued. It was clear that Putin
00:07:19Putin does not read Truth Social.
00:07:22Social. Russia is trying to use another
00:07:25another winter, another period of
00:07:27of cold weather against our country,
00:07:29country, taking our power plants,
00:07:31plants, power grids and all parts
00:07:34parts of our energy infrastructure
00:07:37infrastructure every single day. It's unclear whether an energy
00:07:41energy cease fire between Russia Russia and Ukraine will actually actually hold, but European allies
00:07:45allies have warned that Washington's Washington's recent diesel agreement
00:07:48agreement with Moscow could encourage encourage further aggression on Ukraine.
00:07:52Ukraine. Last week, President Trump Trump announced the US would temporarily
00:07:55temporarily ease restrictions on on Russian diesel fuel exports. This
00:07:59This would allow Russia to supply supply some diesel to US and global
00:08:03global markets for the next six months. months. Well, the US leader says
00:08:06says it's the right choice for Americans, Americans, but it's faced intense
00:08:10intense criticism abroad and at home
00:08:12home on Capitol Hill, a bipartisan bipartisan group of seven lawmakers
00:08:16lawmakers released a joint statement statement on Sunday calling on the
00:08:19the Trump administration to reverse reverse course. In part, it read,
00:08:22read, The United States should not not provide Putin with a financial
00:08:26financial lifeline. While Russia Russia continues to kill Ukrainian
00:08:29Ukrainian civilians. Well, Democratic Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen
00:08:33Shaheen is ranking member of the the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
00:08:36Committee, and she was one of the the signatories on that statement.
00:08:39statement. She gave her reaction reaction to the agreement. Congress
00:08:42Congress passed a law in 2022 that
00:08:45that said we would not allow the the imports of any Russian fuel.
00:08:49fuel. And if for some reason the the administration were thinking
00:08:53thinking about it, they needed to to come and consult with Congress. Congress. And if Congress had conditions
00:08:56conditions to put on it, then they
00:08:58they had to listen to those conditions.
00:09:00conditions. So the reality is they they are in violation of that law.
00:09:03law. We are making it very clear, clear, and I think on a bipartisan
00:09:07bipartisan basis in Congress, it's it's very clear that it's not the
00:09:11the US position that's shifting away away from Ukraine. It's Donald Trump's
00:09:15Trump's position and the White House House position that shifting away
00:09:18away from Ukraine. The Iranian backed
00:09:21backed Houthis have claimed another another attack on Riyadh's international
00:09:25international airport, a spokesman spokesman for the group said they they had fired a ballistic missile
00:09:28missile and added that they had also also targeted a Saudi airbase in
00:09:32in the southwestern city of Khamis Khamis Mushait with a drone. There
00:09:35There has been no official confirmation confirmation from Saudi Arabia, but
00:09:38but authorities have lifted an alert alert for the area. The weekend saw
00:09:42saw Riyadh's international airport airport hit with two deadly strikes
00:09:45strikes in as many days. Our security security correspondent Frank Gardner
00:09:49Gardner reports. A normal day in
00:09:52in Riyadh airports busy departure
00:09:53departure terminal. Then this with
00:09:56with no warning a Houthi missile
00:09:58missile fired from Yemen. 13 people
00:10:00people killed on Saturday, hundreds hundreds injured three strikes over
00:10:03over four days. Saudi air defences
00:10:07defences penetrated all this while
00:10:09while Saudi Arabia is hosting a major
00:10:12major international energy conference.
00:10:14conference. Resilience gives us the
00:10:17the capacity to sustain progress
00:10:18progress and continue shaping our
00:10:21our future. The events of recent
00:10:24recent weeks are serious. Our response
00:10:27response must be equally serious.
00:10:29serious. While remaining focus on
00:10:31on the decades ahead. But the Houthis
00:10:36Houthis have other plans responding responding to recent Saudi air strikes,
00:10:40strikes, Yemen's Houthis have launched launched a barrage of missile and
00:10:43and drone strikes right across the
00:10:45the Saudi kingdom. Saudi Arabia spent
00:10:49spent more than $83 billion on defence defence last year. That made them
00:10:52them the eighth biggest defence spender
00:10:55spender in the world over the years, years, they bought typhoon jets,
00:10:59jets, Patriot missiles and third third interceptors. So how is it
00:11:03it then that with all of this expensive
00:11:05expensive kit, they can't seem to to prevent these devastating Houthi
00:11:09Houthi missile strikes? The Houthis Houthis have a mixture of ballistic
00:11:12ballistic missiles, cruise missiles missiles and drones that all require
00:11:15require a lot of different defences defences so you can spend millions millions intercepting weapons that
00:11:19that cost a fraction of that. You You can shoot down lots of them,
00:11:22them, but you still suffer crippling crippling damage from the ones that
00:11:25that get through. The Saudis can can bomb Yemen extensively to try
00:11:28try and stop this, but it's really really hard to track down every launcher,
00:11:32launcher, every possible missile
00:11:33missile site, every small factory.
00:11:37factory. Especially in a country country wracked by its own ongoing
00:11:41ongoing conflict forces loyal to to the ousted, internationally recognised
00:11:44recognised Yemeni government have have retaken land in places they've
00:11:47they've lost it in others. But all
00:11:50all the while, Iran is strengthening strengthening its hand, ready for
00:11:54for an eventual deal with America.
00:11:56America. To end this widening war.
00:12:00war. Frank Gardner, BBC News. Let's
00:12:03Let's take a closer look at the situation
00:12:05situation in Yemen, the civil war war in Yemen began in 2014 when Houthi
00:12:09Houthi fighters backed by Iran, gained
00:12:11gained control of the capital Sana'a.
00:12:14Sana'a. Since 2015, a Saudi led coalition coalition has been trying with heavy
00:12:17heavy air strikes to restore to power power the internationally recognised
00:12:20recognised government. In recent recent weeks, the Houthis have taken
00:12:23taken over part of the west coast coast of the country, although Saudi
00:12:27Saudi backed government forces have
00:12:28have since retaken some of it. Our
00:12:32Our senior international correspondent correspondent Orla Guerin reports reports from the Yemeni coast. Her
00:12:35Her report contains distressing images.
00:12:41images. Crossing the desert, a remote
00:12:44remote battlefield in a civil war
00:12:46war that is fast becoming a major
00:12:48major regional threat. We travelled
00:12:51travelled with Yemen's southern forces
00:12:53forces fighters loyal to the internationally
00:12:56internationally recognised government
00:12:58government in this landscape of harsh
00:13:01harsh beauty, they have regained regained lost ground and took us
00:13:04us to see it here. The wreckage of
00:13:07of a Houthi drone shot out of the
00:13:10the sky. How much damage could this
00:13:13this have done? Commander Tawfiq
00:13:15Tawfiq Al Haboun says it contained
00:13:19contained explosives. And could kill
00:13:23kill 10 to 15 people. This whole
00:13:27whole area has just been retaken retaken by pro-government forces.
00:13:31forces. They captured it about three
00:13:33three days ago. Until then, the Houthis
00:13:35Houthis were in control here. They've They've been pushed back. And we've
00:13:38we've been told that there are Houthi
00:13:41Houthi fighters in position up in in the mountains. About 500 of them.
00:13:45them. And since we've been here, here, the forces are keeping an eye
00:13:48eye on the sky just to make sure
00:13:50sure that there are no more drones
00:13:52drones coming. And here, scenes from
00:13:55from the battle to retake this territory.
00:14:00territory. No military precision
00:14:02precision in this desert campaign.
00:14:05campaign. Just a loose alliance of of pro-government fighters. Some
00:14:08Some of them barefoot. As we left
00:14:15left front lines about a mile from
00:14:17from the Houthis government reinforcements
00:14:20reinforcements were heading in. Along
00:14:24Along the way, a tableau of suffering
00:14:27suffering for some of those who have
00:14:29have fled the fighting, the only
00:14:31only shelter is the trees. Aisha
00:14:34Aisha tells me she has been here
00:14:37here for 30 days with no money, no
00:14:41no food and no water, not even a
00:14:44a blanket. Yemen's civil war is casting
00:14:46casting a shadow well beyond its
00:14:49its borders. The Houthis are a threat
00:14:52threat to international shipping shipping and increasingly a threat
00:14:55threat to Saudi Arabia. But for their
00:14:58their backers in Iran, they provide
00:15:02provide leverage in operating rooms
00:15:03rooms in the city of Aden, geopolitics
00:15:07geopolitics feels remote night and
00:15:08and day. Doctors are treating wounded
00:15:12wounded fighters. That includes the
00:15:14the enemy. This man is a Houthi,
00:15:17Houthi, but most here are from the
00:15:21the government side. When you get get a real sense here of how fierce
00:15:24fierce the fighting is, this hospital
00:15:28hospital alone has received 51 wounded wounded fighters today. Every bed
00:15:32bed in the intensive care unit is
00:15:34is full. They've been arriving with
00:15:36with gunshot wounds with shrapnel.
00:15:38shrapnel. Some have had limbs amputated amputated and the casualties keep
00:15:41keep coming. We've been told there
00:15:43there are three more on the way.
00:15:47way. The battles in Yemen are ebbing
00:15:50ebbing and flowing with no clear
00:15:52clear victor, but plenty more trauma.
00:15:55trauma. For some, the war will always
00:15:57always be with them. Some still have
00:16:01have their fighting spirit like Ahmed
00:16:04Ahmed Ali Mahmoud. He wants to get
00:16:06get back to the front. Despite multiple
00:16:10multiple fractures. I'm not waiting
00:16:15waiting to be fully recovered, he he told us. I just want to be able
00:16:19able to stand. I think it's a religious religious duty and a national duty.
00:16:22duty. The Houthis have destroyed
00:16:25destroyed the country. Come on. In
00:16:28In the next ward, Ali, who is 121
00:16:31121 year older than Yemen's war.
00:16:33war. He was injured by a drone and
00:16:35and is now facing a complicated surgery.
00:16:40surgery. There is shrapnel near his
00:16:42his spine, says Doctor Amur Al-sakkaf.
00:16:45Al-sakkaf. The operation won't be be easy, but God willing our staff
00:16:48staff will be able to handle it.
00:16:52it. But will war follow Ali into
00:16:54into adulthood? Orla Guerin, BBC
00:16:58BBC News Southern Yemen. Still to
00:17:01to come, oil prices are climbing climbing after those attacks on Saudi
00:17:05Saudi Arabia. We'll look at what what the turmoil is doing to energy
00:17:09energy prices around the world
00:18:10League here on BBC News or via the
00:18:12the BBC Sport website and app. You're
00:18:22You're live with BBC News. Welcome Welcome back. Oil prices have risen
00:18:26risen as turmoil continues in the the Middle East and despite President President Trump's attempt to drive
00:18:29drive the price down with his agreement agreement to buy Russian oil, the
00:18:32the cost of Brent crude is around
00:18:35around $106 a barrel. That's up from
00:18:37from around $70 before the US Israel Israel war with Iran. Well, this
00:18:41this has fed through to higher costs costs for car fuel in many countries,
00:18:45countries, including the US., where where prices at the pump are a big
00:18:49big complaint from voters ahead of of the mid-term elections. And analysts
00:18:52analysts warn that President Trump's Trump's deal to buy oil from Russia
00:18:56Russia is not likely to have a noticeable
00:18:59noticeable impact on prices. Here's Here's what President Trump had to
00:19:02to say about energy prices on his
00:19:04his way to Ohio a little earlier.
00:19:07earlier. Prices are coming down, down, and as soon as the war ends,
00:19:10ends, which will be very soon with with Iran, the oil will drop like
00:19:13like a rock and it's going to end
00:19:14end very soon. The apparent deal,
00:19:17deal, says Russia will immediately
00:19:20immediately supply 300,000 tonnes tonnes of diesel. I asked Simon KC,
00:19:23KC, managing editor of energy commodities commodities at Bloomberg, if he thinks
00:19:27thinks Russia is capable of such such a feat. Opinion, frankly, is
00:19:30is divided. If you listen to Ukraine's Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:19:34Zelensky, he say it's doubtful and and he thinks this is not going to
00:19:37to make much difference. There is
00:19:39is probably some capability, but
00:19:42but as you point out, Russia's come
00:19:44come under attack consistently from
00:19:47from Ukraine this year on its energy energy infrastructure. It's quite
00:19:50quite battered. It did not suspend
00:19:53suspend those exports. Likely that
00:19:56that was a last resort to keep Russian
00:19:58Russian industry basically and the the economy going in the face of
00:20:02of this barrage. So there is some
00:20:05some wiggle room. But even if the
00:20:07the exports do come out, will it
00:20:09it make much difference? The consensus consensus we've been picking up on
00:20:13on so far is that it's going to make make little difference. Overall,
00:20:17Overall, the world is still going going to be constrained when it comes
00:20:21comes to gasoline and diesel for for quite some time. So yeah, that
00:20:24that was going to be my next question. question. Donald Trump obviously obviously hoping that this can have
00:20:28have some impact ideally before the the mid-term elections. But you seem
00:20:31seem to be saying that that's not not going to happen. Is there any any chance that this could move the
00:20:34the needle further down the line? line? I mean, it could move the needle
00:20:38needle very incrementally. But I I mean, given that we're, what, three three weeks out from the mid-term
00:20:42mid-term elections and given that
00:20:45that the sort of the logistical issues issues if you simply put oil on a
00:20:48a tanker and you export it across across the ocean, you're talking
00:20:51talking a matter of weeks at at,
00:20:53at, you know, at least sometimes sometimes it can be months to get
00:20:57get these cargoes from one location
00:20:59location to the other. So this could could over time make a difference.
00:21:03difference. But in the run up to to the election, the timing is very
00:21:07very short. You know, you played played a quote a clip there from
00:21:11from the President. He's right. To To the extent that prices fuel prices
00:21:14prices have edged lower in recent recent weeks. But we're talking you
00:21:18you know, if you look at average average US gasoline prices, they've
00:21:21they've gone from about $4.50 a gallon
00:21:23gallon down to about 430, something
00:21:25something like that. It's a very
00:21:27very small difference really. And And overall they're still at a very
00:21:31very high level. The sort of level
00:21:33level we last saw during the Ukraine, Ukraine, the start of the Ukraine
00:21:37Ukraine war back in 2022. And the
00:21:40the President, President Trump blaming blaming Ukraine, not the Iran war
00:21:42war for spiking oil prices around around the world. Is there any truth
00:21:46truth in that? I mean, there is some
00:21:48some truth. I think absent the conflict
00:21:51conflict in Ukraine and if Ukraine
00:21:54Ukraine wasn't bombarding Russian Russian refineries across the country,
00:21:57country, and if Russia was exporting exporting diesel like it did a year
00:22:01year or two ago we'd be in a slightly
00:22:05slightly better position. But overwhelming. overwhelming. The biggest factor
00:22:09factor here in the squeeze on global
00:22:10global fuel prices has been the war war in Iran. There's a significant
00:22:14significant amount of refining capacity capacity within the Persian Gulf
00:22:18Gulf that is effectively out of commission commission right now. And even though
00:22:22though a lot of the crude exports exports have kind of returned from
00:22:25from that part of the world, even even in the face of sustained action
00:22:29action by Iran, and we still see
00:22:31see ships being attacked the refined
00:22:35refined products, as the industry
00:22:36industry calls it, the diesel, the
00:22:39the gasoline that is normally refined refined in that region is not coming
00:22:42coming out. And that's a big gap
00:22:45gap that the world is struggling struggling to fill. Inventories are are down and prices are up. And we're
00:22:49we're all seeing that at the pump, pump, at least if you're in the US.
00:22:53US. And just briefly, Salman, I think think I know what your answer might might veer towards. But what is the
00:22:57the one thing that needs to happen happen to get things even closer
00:22:59closer back to what they were before
00:23:01before the Iran war? I mean, you you know, absent the, you know, a
00:23:05a proper ceasefire, I think it would
00:23:08would be guarantees on the safety safety of shipping through the Persian
00:23:11Persian Gulf. As I say, there's been
00:23:13been a quite a sort of a Herculean
00:23:15Herculean effort to get more crude crude sailing through the Strait
00:23:19Strait of Hormuz. It's come at a a huge cost. We have record shipping
00:23:22shipping costs right now. As I say,
00:23:23say, we have a real security issue. issue. Ships are getting attacked.
00:23:27attacked. They're running a great great risk going through there every
00:23:29every day given the costs, the priority priority has been given to crude
00:23:33crude oil rather than gasoline and and diesel. If there was a greater
00:23:36greater certainty, if there was greater greater safety for shipping there,
00:23:39there, I think you would probably probably see more a refined products
00:23:43products start to pass through the the Strait of Hormuz and that that
00:23:46that sort of that shortage would would finally begin to ease. Simon
