Or driven into exile. Among them is no volume. These widow julia who on this day of pomp and circumstance, slammed fulton for breaking his promises to the russian people. Nicole fairly chamberlain and this is the day the bloom with him, our country will have no peace, no developments, no freedom from that. The puritan regime is find it on lies and corruption of the video, the security interests of the russian people. It will continue to be the top priority for me. What do we do to our country, twice the nation. We really do, we have pain and we will be open to building on. They have good relations with all countries. Weve seen russia as a reliable and on his partner. And it really is the provide majority, which also on the day is really forces sees control of gaza is vital raphael Border Crossing. While last its talks on a ceasefire with a mouse resume as we are. Its a decisive moment for the ballast scene in the visa valley people and for the sights of the entire region. Welcome to the cell. Thank you so much for joining us. What am i putting has been in power in russia for 24 years already today. The former can g b officers from st. Petersburg and again, another 6 year term as president. He was sworn in an elaborate ceremony at the kremlin where he pledged to defend the constitution and the rights of russian citizens. The highly choreographed spectacle was beamed live on Russian Television with the intention to project a strong and confident leader, but put in as in fact, the leader who has become increasingly isolated in the western world. The u. S. And most e u countries, boy called at the inauguration and protest over putins war and ukraine and his dismantling of russian democracy. He won a landslide election victory in march, and a contest considered snyder free nor fair. And without facing any meaningful opposition. The non gratian he claimed to have a sacred duty to lead russia through a difficult period at the, in the grand kremlin palace in moscow, Vladimir Putin renewed his oath to serve as president for a 5th time. This is an all girls of the jewish food and stress, the importance of National Unity in the face of increasing isolation due to the war, new crane. A problem he blamed on the west when you have because of him so we can not refuse dialogue with western states, but as a choices. This means that they intend to continue trying to restrain the development of russia. Continue the policy of aggression and continuous pressure on the country for years. W a. Wed like to see what parts of cooperation and pace immune victory at the polls was never in doubt put in one the election in march with over 87 percent of the vote. Facing no real oppositional critics denounced the election as unfair and on democratic the widow of long time proved an opponent alexi, and ive only you who died in a russian prison in february. Whats recorded a video from exile encouraging her supporters to keep fighting . With gosh least, and we might make sure that no one in the world police put in the user in russia, nor beyond its borders. Its difficult but we have to make an effort. And that means persistent, stubborn dealer work is a narrow country, is ruled by a lie or a fees and a murder. But this will definitely end. Dont give me the truth. When does that . To me, is it that way for us to put me into the European Unions top diplomat urged, all Member States to boycott the knock you ration most state away from us go me the position was clear going to be very difficult for the brain is so many people around the world to understand that were going to see that food in someone evicted by the to negative cleaning, of course, responsible for the or new grain. The elections that we contest because the way im not for the new the fan elections. And then to at the end, the navigation, it would be actually a contradiction. Fair or not Vladimir Putin is set to stay in power for a while longer. By the end of the 6 year term, he will have surpassed soviet dictator, joseph stalin, at the longest serving russian leader and centuries. For more, id like to welcome catherine belt into the day she was moscow corresponding for the financial times. And now she reports on russia for the washington post. Are highly a claim to book pollutants. People, documents, pollutants, rise to power, and the key players who helped him keep a tight grip on the kremlin. Katherine, thank you so much for joining us. Its great to have you back on the day, lot of your fruit and has been calling the shots in russia one way or another for a quarter of a century at how strong is this presidency as he begins this 6 year term. A well, on the face of it ready, he looks like he is stronger than he ever has been before. And thats because the west did sure weakness. There was this great tools in the flow of weapons to ukraine. The u. S. Congress allowed that a package to be delayed for almost 9 months. Ukraine was waiting, and i spoke to one russian officials today. And he says he believes that russia will maintain the up by hand. And thats buffalo against ukraine, probably till the end of the year. Because of the weapons arent going to get to ukraine fast enough. So russia will use the moment to try and take more territory and crane. Its still being gunned in terms of munitions. And this also means that because russia has the hand for now military, it means is each best consolidated around him very much more than compared to a year ago. Uh, the russian elite have sense the weakness in the west. And they believe that theyre on the winning side. Lets look at buttons, inner circle. How tight is it, is it still the old entourage, and is there anyone who can tell him hard truth without you know, the fear of falling out a window or well, you only have to look at what happened to each one of them who did tell him these hard truths, you have give me 3 version. His plane was mysteriously down. Doctor, he is mine, launched a mutiny and marched on moscow. So theyre all very few who are going to die to toe boots in the truth. But at the moment, the big that basically all busy sucking up to him, we see signs of tension among the elite. And most recently, the Russian Deputy defense minister a html identity or was arrested for a corruption. And this is a sign of a back to among the kremlin plans for access to cash flows because the Deputy Defense minister, who was arrested was in charge of basically government contracts hold a minute to him, was sitting on the very back pull to the trash. Indeed, and he was seen as close to your line to one of the 2 tenants. Closest allies could not be teaching could, but those and use Security Services want to put their own men in place. So that often comes across as being isolated there. That is how hes being for trade in western media versus iconic picture of him alone at the end of this very, very long table. Is that a genuine representation of his leadership . As well as you report noted, he is isolated from the west right now. Many of the western ambassadors refused to attend his integration. But princeton is busy building his own g western coalition, which he is now cooling. The global majority, hes able to sort of leverage upset of is rose, brutal tactics in palestine. Hes consolidating what he calls the global south around him in forging new alliances with china, iran and those cree. So im not certain is 71 years old today. Hes not going to be able to stay in power forever, even though he probably would like to. Is he thinking of a successor . You think . Um, yes, i think he has to. He has to be aware of his own mortality by now. Indeed, if he is, does make it through to the end of the 6 year time, hes going to be 77. 00, and its unlikely hell be Strong Enough to run for another time though. Who knows what leaps and bounds science science was made by then of course, shes looking within his ranks, but he knows that this is a project for with risk. Because last time he brought in his own deputy to meet 3 men that had to take over the presidency, meant that its uh, even though he was seen as the most pliable and the most kind of the most the person who would most cow to pretend he began showing a great deal of independence towards the end of his time president and they had to get rid of them and coaching had to return. It was too risky because meant that it was very open because of by the west. Yeah. You have, of course, studied, put, and his career very closely his time in power, especially at this point. What do you think he views as the greatest achievement of his years in the kremlin . Im sure right now hes looking at his military campaign in ukraine and hes looking at the hesitancy presidency in the west, which was shown in the grades in a, in providing a to crane. And i think he still thinks its all ahead of time, but they are a great risks involved in that prospect because, you know, hes there are, we still dont know whether his great friend and i dont know, trump o, were winning the presidency in the us and even though the west delayed surprise weapons and wasnt fast enough and adequately providing ukraine with a sufficient material. Uh, if the west now can get its act together if it can run pump its own ministry. Industrial production by 2025. Ukraine could be in a position to start causing problems for russia. The russian economy is already essentially running a kind of a hot economy. Inflation is running sky high because of the amount of money that the, the government has been pumped into the defense sector. And also its fully behind technologically rusher, is able to get a lot of technology from china, but its of poor quality, china and what a spy, every Single Person get. So its, its ready was risk lagging behind along the wall goes on good. At the moment this year, clinton has everything to play for. He could get his great friend and i liked donald trump in power in the us and then its possibly each game is a full weston alliances and pretend can reset brushes well on the web page. That was a washington post. Katherine, both are really good to get your insights. Catherine, thank you so much for your time. Thanks a lot. I a god for the enemy was actively developing plans to illuminate president for a load of music lensky with me. One of the most important tasks of the Russian Network was to find agents among the military close to the president who could take ukraines head of state hostage and like to kill him. Well, dont wait the whole, that was the spokesman for your grand security service, claiming to have uncovered a russian plot to kidnap and kill president voluntarism lensky and other senior military and political figures. A 2 officers in ukraines Government Protection unit have reportedly been arrested on suspicion of carrying out the plan, which was allegedly orchestrated by russian intelligence agents. These arent the 1st to craning claims of russian assassination plots. As the war stretches into a 3rd year. The lensky said that in 2022 alone, there had been at least 10 attempts to take his legs on america. And i now like to welcome john hurts. He was the u, as in bassett, or to ukraine from to that south 1003 to 2006. After a long career in the us state department, hes now senior director of the urethra center at the atlantic council. Thank you so much for joining us, mr. Investor. That ukraines Counter Intelligence say theyve uncovered a plot to kill president zaleski and other high ranking officials. How big do you consider the threats against ukraine, Senior Leadership at this point . I dont have particulars regarding this beyond whats already been put in the media. But i do know as your report mentioned, that there were numerous efforts to get soleski by the Russian Forces and the 1st 6 plus months of their big invasion. And of course, they all failed. So this would be a major qu from us scale, where they able to achieve it. So certainly the claims are plausible. The 2 suspects are colonels in the state guard of ukraine task with protecting top officials. Allegedly, they were recruited by the f as b before 2022, before the full scale invasion launched by russia. But with the lensky, well aware of the target on his head, how does someone like that make it into his security detail . The look of the rushes of is been indefatigable. Going back to the 1st days of ukraines independence school, you know, going back to the early nineties to make sure they have agents. Its major positions across the intelligence, the military and security agencies and ukraine. Thats one of the reasons why it was relatively easy for them to go into crimea in 2014. But since then, going back 10 years, major efforts were made by ukraine to fix this problem, largely, but not entirely successful. And we know that the ukraine, excuse me, russian had success in south mainland, you crate, taking her son is the beginning of the big invasion because they had turned many of the ukrainian intelligence officials in her sewing of and their direction. And so the notion that people close to relatively close to zaleski even today are russian. Asians is not a surprise. And i believe the, for any is our vigilance. Looking at this, that means they have some systems in place to prevent it, especially when it happens. But its not for me, and weve recently seen a big jacob and personnel and some high level dismissals in ukraine, kens and landscape, trust the people around him. I dont think theres any doubt the vast majority of senior officials and ukraine are loyal to their country. They recognize that a put in achieve says, objective of having affected political control in ukraine. There will be massive repression in free ukraine. Comfortable to the massive repression in occupied ukraine. So they are fighting for their wives and their existence as independent ukrainians. That does not mean, however, these are not some russian agents, whether by conviction or by subversion or via bribery. How important is full of arrears of landscape, personally, to ukraines war effort that, that struggle for survival as an independent country that you just mentioned. And what effect would it have if he were in fact assassinated . Viable should be zalinski has been absolutely brilliant, more leader, and his unique qualities, or have been essential to the success ukraine has enjoyed those for. I know people dont talk about ukraine success too often these days. But point of fact, theyve stood off the world or the 2nd or 3rd rate is conventional military power. For what . 2627 months. Thats a really cheap. But even if its not as strong a performance of some of us would like having said that, ukraine, people understand the point that ive already made in moscow. Same is subjection of ukraine, subjugation of ukraine, which involves serious serious notification of ukrainian ident. Which mean ukraine is want to live in their own country as ukrainians would be severely repressed. I believe it would be a disaster. Few crane of moscow were able to do something. He had zalesky. I dont think it would be a moral disaster for you. That was former Us Ambassador to you crane john herbs. Thank you so much for your time or to the crisis in the middle east bell, where israels military has seized control of a key Border Crossing and gaza, the spines, warnings from even its closest allies, the army, some tanks into a rough spot in the south of the territory. Now rafael is a vital crossing point for humanitarian aid coming in by egypt. The city also shelters more than a 1000000 displaced palestinians incursion. Cast new doubts on a propos, cease fire with loss. That, of course, the organization that carried out the october 7th terror attacks on monday, im off said in accepted a deal brokerage by egypt and guitar triggering celebrations in the streets. A rough arm. But israel says a proposal doesnt need its core demands and refused to hold its garza offensive today. You and she even tony with tears said it was the science of moment for the palestinian and is really people and for the entire region. And the agreement between the governments of israel and the leadership of im us, is essential to stop the medical suffering. Good fellow stevens, you guys the end of the hostages, and that fabulous. It will be frederick. If weeks of intense diplomatic could cvt for piecing garza, you know, ceasefire loading these of hostages and the devastating or fancies in dropbox, outright threads my appeal for both spot these to show the political courage and sped of no effort to secure and agreements. No, israel has rejected the ceasefire proposal, but has still send a delegation to cairo. I ass middle east analysts laura blue and feldwood she expects to come out of the negotiations is one of the biggest obstacles is trust. So we can have some sort of stand in um and you know, stand for the various parties is really do not trust the home us leadership. They were thinking that they were gonna come to terms relationship with them before october 7th, and then they were sucker punched on that day and they wont be full. The get is their attitude and the policies dont trust the israelis, but specifically natania, who, when theyre asking for guarantees that these relatives will keep their side of the bargain either from the United States or theyre not quite sure theyre gonna rely on the United States at this point, so theyre looking to turkey, enter russia, and the 2nd possibility is rather than as your, as your previous corresponded, noted that theres the Sticking Point over the end game. Right now were involved in a blame game. But if we can get past that and talk about, okay, so is it a permanent ceasefire, or is it a temporary calm . Its rather than making it time based and setting a date, you make it conditions based so that you have to meet certain markers on for end of hostilities that could be another way forward. And finally, you know, weve been focusing a lot on incentives for success. And maybe we need to talk about the cost of failure. Failure to achieve a ceasefire with a little bit more leaning heavily into the negatives that could potentially be doha threatening to have spelled from us leadership from guitar. And then on the United States side look tomorrow, in terms of leaning on israel secretary, blinking has to present a report to congress entering a very simple question which is, is israel violating International Humanitarian law and its on flooding gaza the 2 weeks ago, washington gave the social media app, tick, tock, and ultimatum. Find a non chinese buyer within 270. 00 days or face a band in the us today. Take talk and its Chinese Parent Company by fans, filed a legal challenge to that decision, arguing that it violates the right to free speech. The lawsuit is likely welcome news for the 170000000, tick tock users in america, as well as for the creators making money on the platform. A burden creek in maryland home travers like lose the sat in for getting ready for the season and his preparations as well as all of his other crowd content can be watched on take talk good for another 12 months. He started posting around 4 years ago now he has 1700000 following the chief somewhere around new york. I kind of became, i guess by accident the crab guy on the internet just kind of rolled with an embrace that they had health. And now its turned into tone kind of business or the soldier, the creative and then showed you had a theme it. So now im going to share, i thought many grabbers on take talk avenue has been able to create a nice for himself, both online and with customer or you prefer exposure to a large following help them cut out the middleman here and move away from wholesale. Rab stores on the fence, seeing that holy cow is 95 percent now, of my customers are of you know, coming from tick tock that was really eye opening was its crazy to see that big number, but its even crazier to see real life real life humans show up to something because you made a video about, you know, its still crazy. They dont want to, but new legislation could force loop looks at in touch with them to tack. Know you spoke long running concerns that took talks. Chinese owner bite dance could misuse american user data have led to a law that means take talk could be banned in the wes, unless by done sells the platform in 9 months. Even ahead of the bill becoming law, the potential band triggered widespread dissatisfaction among the countries. 170000000, ticked options. Theres not to mention creators like google or, and it allowed me to, to grow my business. 10 folds in a quarter in the time. And i know, you know, theres a lot of other Small Business owners that have done the same exact thing. I would definitely be bummed out. Ive, i have a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. You know, ive made thousands of videos. Its thousands and thousands of hours, you know, of, of work. But hes yet to be convinced took talk will actually disappear from us. Apps stores, i doubt, is going to get saying that theyre not, theyre not, they are not going to let this thing thats worth billions of dollars. Does all the, itll get sold or bought, or something. Also skeptical about a band is james lewis. Hes an expert on tech and Security Issues at the center for strategic and International Studies in washington dc. Theres so many legal obstacles to a band that is not going to succeed. You have the 1st amendment and the protection of speech, and you have the berman amendment, which was designed explicitly to allow americans to access this kind of material. The berman amendment is decades old legislation protecting the free flow of information. Lewis believes that the berman amendment would cover take talk to probably end up at the Supreme Court because this is a constitutional issue for its part, tick tock, cosette, it is mounting a legal challenge. The law to stay online. And the wes rest assured we arent going anywhere. We are confident that we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts. Such a law suit effectively pauses the clock on to take talk bad money, possibly for several years.
