1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: In France. Catherine Field, A very good morning to you. Kiden. 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Morning mate. Now we're all we at we're all heading 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: to Turkey on Thursday. Who's turning up? What's happening here? 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: Oh, it's all getting very mixed up, as it has 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: made lots of various strands to the Ukraine War. At 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: the moment, what we've got is the Ukraine and the 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: EU say that there needs to be a ceasefire, a 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: thirty day unconditional cease fire before talks come begin. Vladimir 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Putin has said he wants talks before the ceasefire, and 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 2: he's ready to have talks take place in Turkey on Thursday. 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: Still not sure if those talks will take place, and 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 2: still not even sure if Vladimir Putin himself will go 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 2: or whether he'll just send his foreign minister for his parts. Zelenski, 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: the Ukrainian President, has said he will go and he's 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing Vladimir Putin there and to be 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: able to talk peace. He calls Zelenski says that he's 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: not brought over on this idea that there would be 18 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: a ceasefire. He said that a ceasefire will be a 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: good move, It will be a move toward peace, a 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: foundation for diplomacy. But he points out, of course, that 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: we've seen several ceasefires announced by Russia that haven't been upheld, 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: particularly the most recent one over Easter and the recent 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: one of course over the victory in Europe commemorations, which 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: there was still drone attacks on various parts of Ukraine. 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 2: So yeah, what. 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Are we going to do, Mike. 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: Well, the EU has said they wanted a ceasefire to 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: start Monday night. That's just in a couple of hours time. 29 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: The German government has said the clock is ticking and 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: if that ceasfire isn't in place by the end of 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: Monday Berlin time, then they will be looking at new sanctions. 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: We've talked about sanctions before, so you know there's been 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: sixteen rounds of sanctions Mike. This would be a seventeenth 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: if that goes ahead. So that would be financial institutions 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: and targeting those shadow fleets, those Russian fleets that go 36 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: around the world. So I'm sorry, I can give you 37 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: no more clarity on anything. 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: That's a good insight. What I am reading this morning 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: is Putin's messing some troops on the border of Finland. 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: This is in the tabloid press. I don't know how 41 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: seriously to take this. And this will be a response 42 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: to the joining of Finland, NATO ETCA. He's got some 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: tents and stuff. Is anyone getting exercised about that? 44 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: Only me? Because I'm going to Finland at. 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: The end of the week. Okay, Well, so look at 46 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: So what you need to do is look out for 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: tents and if you see a lot of Russian tents, 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: you go, well, that's that's on the border. Well, hold on, 49 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: if you're going to Finland, what are you going to 50 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: do when you're lining up Tomorrow morning our time for Kim. 51 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 2: Oh, well, I am going to be lining up at 52 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: seven am in the morning, Paris time for Kim Kardashian. Yes, 53 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: after this, think back, this is twenty sixteen, that big 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 2: robbery here in Paris. We're expecting her to arrive. She's 55 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: going to give a statement before the court a nearly 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: afternoon in Paris time. We're told to expect chaos outside 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: the court, not only unless, not only onlookers, but the paparazzi. 58 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: Everyone's going to be there. Police have said they will 59 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: sneak her into the court so we won't get a 60 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: view of her until she's actually physically in court. But 61 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: after she's given her statement, she's answered questions from the judge, 62 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: the magistrates and the public prosecutor, she will make a 63 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: statement on the court room steps after that. 64 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: And also you're going to Finland at a time when 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: normally you'd attend the can Film Festival. 66 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: And quick, what's happening there? Or there's always something to 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: look out for at the can Film Festival, But what 68 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: are the big things? This year? We've seen various occasions 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: across the red carpets across the world nudity. You know, 70 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: we've seen what have been described as sheer outfits. 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Well who would. 72 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: Believe it, but the can Film Festival organizers have said 73 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: this year nudity is prohibited on the red carpet. I 74 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: know it's black tie, evening gown, cocktail dresses and elegant 75 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: sand only this year they want people covered up and 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: they're saying no provocative displays. 77 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: All right, Well, good luck in the Q for the 78 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: trial tomorrow. Nice to see Catherine Field in France. I 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: was only at the Baftis photos yesterday and I'm a 80 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: big fashion fan, but I first of all, maybe I'm 81 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: naive but I didn't realize the baftis were for a 82 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: bunch of try hards. I thought it was relatively serious, 83 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: and all these losers from reality television turned up wearing 84 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: next to nothing, and I'm thinking, what a bunch of 85 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: low rent tosses. Anyway, sounded almost like a prude, don't I. 86 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: So why Mike is putin massing troops on the border 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: of Finland. My suspicion at the moment is its reaction 88 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: to Finland and Sweden joining NATO. He said he would 89 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: react if that happened. It did, so he is. He's 90 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: putting up a few tents. I don't think it's going anywhere. 91 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 92 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: news talks it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 93 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
