A prisoner exchange is also likely.
Trump has also spoken with Russia's Vladimir Putin, calling the phone call 'lengthy and productive'.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's got a Europe and we've got in the Brady
on the line.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hello, Inde, Hey Andrew, good morning, Hello, good evening to you.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
It is good evening and it is a very fine evening,
and thank you very much. Now we've got Putin and
Trump heavy a chet. They're wanting peace, They're wanting to
swap land. The UIs doesn't want to support NATO. There
is Ukraine being sidelined and all of us.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I think that is the huge concern now, and certainly
in the capital Kiev, they will be very, very worried
that this phone call lasted ninety minutes between Trump and Putin,
and what we're seeing is effectively Russia being brought back
into the international fold, no longer going to be a
pariah state. Or because Donald Trump seems to think that,
(00:46):
you know, he himself wants a Nobel Peace Prize. A
lot of people in Europe have been saying this to
me for months when they come on my TV show,
that this is what Trump will do. It's all about
Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize. That's what's driving him.
No great first for peace or anything else. It's it's
personal kind of gain. And again the transactional president in operation. Now.
(01:09):
I've interviewed the Russian ambassador in London several times in
the last three years, and each time he has set
out what will be needed for Russia to end the war.
They use a phrase consistently, the denazification of Ukraine. They
see Zelensky, believe it or not, they see him as
a Nazi. So Russia wants Zelensky gone and some sort
(01:31):
of I'm guessing a puppet regime in Kiev. So effectively
Ukraine will be under Kremlin control. They want to keep
all the land of Russia has invaded and occupied and
seized in the last three years. They want Ukraine not
to be able to join NATO and not to be
able to join the European Union. So effectively Ukraine will
become a shadow state of Russia.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It would be defeat and yeah, But at the same time,
so many people have died. One hundred and twenty thousand dead,
you know, seventy thousand Russians alone. So much blood.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yes, Look, the bloodshed and the loss of life has
been catastrophic and terrible. I was in Davos a couple
of weeks ago, and I heard Zelenski speak and afterwards,
I heard a group of Americans saying that, you know,
this guy just needs to talk peace now and sit down,
And so I challenged them on what was said, and
they said that there was fatigue. This was the phrase
the Americans used to me, that fatigue was setting in
(02:25):
after three years. And I said, hang on, we wind
the clock back in history to nineteen forty two. I said,
there was a lot of people, probably in America, we're
talking about fatigue. Then I said, you're going to give
Hitler what he wanted after three years, because I think
the major worry now is that putin once he realizes
he can get what he wants with Trump in power.
(02:46):
I'd be worried if I was in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia,
these countries.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay, who have just separated themselves from the Russian power
and gone to Europe, because I guess they can see
what's coming up. It took to England and a third
runway at Heathrow.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yes, so this was the great scheme announced a few
weeks ago by Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor or Finance Minister,
to get growth in the UK economy. What's happened now
is the new Chief executive Heathrow. He traveled up to
Scunthorpe in the north of England. It's a steel producing town.
It's a town built on steel production. He gave a
major speech there and he said that he leaves there
(03:26):
will be flights taying taking off from a third runway
in Heathrow within ten years. And he said to facilitate
all of this and the extra numbers, he wants to
expand Terminal five and Terminal two at Heathrow. And he
signed a deal saying he will use British steel to
do that. So at a time when there's a lot
of talk about tariffs on steel by President Trump, this
(03:48):
is absolutely a boost for the UK industry. But I
think he's been very optimistic. I can't see a third
runway at Heathrow inside a decade.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Okay, well, why didn't need it? You've got you got
heat through, you got get what you got Sten Steed,
I mean, how many how many runways do you guys need?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, there's Southampton, there's South End, there's Luton. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly,
you know, smart people are saying here when I interview
business leaders, they're all saying to me, you know, put
the capacity into some of the other airports and lift
them up. He throw, this will never fly because you've
got hundreds and hundreds of people's homes that you're just
gonna have to demolish to make way for a third runwakay, Well, look.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I can tell you what you do. You can put
a bridges into sten Stead because I qued there in
January once and it was freezing cold and I had
to walk a lot of runway through the rain to
get into a plane, and I thought, which country am
I in?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah? Your step count if you landed London stands there.
Check your watch after you finally got to where you
need to be because you've done the equivalent of half marathon.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, ok, Finally Jim Reck, Sir Jim reccliffe in the
os Win I fans have him at the moment because
he wants to take his money away from the OBECKX
with the ineos Brending. Meanwhile, he spent two point seven
billion dollars by ment United and now he's firing everybody
and the team frankly is tanking.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yes, exactly. So we're all aware of what's going on
with NZ Rugby. We've seen that story. No one in
any way shocked at all this week by that. By
the way in Europe, Yes, so he's a local boy.
When he took over Manchester United, everyone felt wow, a
guy from Falesworth owning twenty eight percent of the club Falesworth,
Greater Manchester. He's from very humble origins. He went off
(05:27):
to university, he founded Ineos. He is now a multi
multi squillionaire. Man United fans had high hopes when Ratcliffe
came in. They thought, okay, locally guy, he's an actual
United fan. He will just pump rivers of money into
the club. He's put a lot of money in, but
now he's making cutbacks. There are rumors of one hundred
redundancies coming off the back of several hundred redundancies in
(05:50):
the summer just gone one. Lady Jackie Kay, head of
operations at United Matchdown Logistics, she got the sack this week.
She'd been at the club thirty years. Newspapers have described
her as the oil in the man United machine and
Ratcliffe got rid of her. So he is utterly ruthless.
There are cost cuttings coming. But if I was Ratcliffe,
(06:12):
I'd be looking at some of the players on the
pitch picking off half a million dollars a week en
Z to play soccer and look where they are in
the league quite frankly, just not good much.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
He blames the d industrialization of Europe and he's losing money.
And he's got five billion dollars worth of sports investments
around the world. It's not just Menu and the old
becks Zen and Switzerland is the nice club in France.
I mean, he's in a struck and he never saw
it coming, it seems, but.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We've run any Yeah, look he's down, Andrew, he's down
to his last fifty billion dollars. Give him a break.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
