At thirteen to six, get a 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: greater UK. Hello Kevin other Andrew, you've got Zelensky. What's happening? 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, big meeting there in London, Lancaster House, right in 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: the heart of London. Plenty of people outside Downing Street 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: cheering when the President of Ukraine v Loto Mezzelenski arrived 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: and the Prime Minister. That really does reflect the strength 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: of feeling for the country. Now with you to get 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: a press conference in about ten to fifteen minutes, Andrew. 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: But you know, this is all about really trying to 11 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: work out how US Europe relationships are going to develop, 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: and also of course what can the Ukrainians expect now 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: from Europe. Will Europe step up and do the heavy lifting. 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: But even if they do that heavy lifting, by which 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: I may even mean boots on the ground, more money, 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: more arms, more logistics, they are demanding or they need 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: they stay American air cover. And that is something at 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: the moment that Donald Trump says he's not going to supply, 19 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: but we do know he flip blops. Yeah, I know. 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: But at the same time, this conversation is not about 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: continuing the war. It's about a piece. It's about having 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: a peace with a security guarantee, which everyone's getting a 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: bit confused. They think that Selenski now wants to carry 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: on with the war, but he wants to have a 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: security guarantee poots on the ground to make sure that 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: Putin doesn't come back once they come up with some deal. 27 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was speculation, not confirmed, speculation that Donald Trump 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: thinks that if the American companies start digging for the 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: minerals in the east and north of Ukraine, by the 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: very fact they're American Putin, wouldn't you try and evade again. 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: But that's what the Europeans say is not right, and 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: that's why they want this proper action plan in place 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: for the peace. 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Now. Pope Francis had a bit of a turn on Friday, 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: but he's come right a bit, yes. 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't say completely right, but he was 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: a call for the third week in a row, absent 38 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: and unable to deliver his traditional Angelus prayer in person. 39 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: Each week visitors go to the Vatican, usually gathering our 40 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: sent Peter Square to see the Pope. Third weekend, he's 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: not been there. He's spent most of that time in hospital. 42 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: He's still there, and it was said that he had 43 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: written the text from his hospital room in the past 44 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: few days and that was read out for him, and 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: he told Catholics around the world that he felt their 46 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: affection and closeness and said my quote, I feel as 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: if I'm carried and supported by God's people. He'd had 48 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: a peaceful night last night. But this was following, as 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: you said, a second breathing crisis as it was called 50 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: at the start of the weekend. He received extra oxygen report, 51 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: but we're being told he was not inturbated, in other words, 52 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: did not have one of those breathing tubes down his throat. 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: So positive news in that sense, but still a long 54 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: way from being out of the woods. 55 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: Kevin, I thank you so much for more from Early 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: Edition with Ryan and Bridge. 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: Listen live to news Talks it'd be from five am weekdays, 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
