At least not in the current on the story, the shape of the week, the canadian Prime Minister, as in the hot seat, the hosting not the cannot for a to in the Country Parliament adjusting trader twice the dog to the responsibility, but as condemnation pulls it from the making sure you never mentioned. So a, this is all t international. Thank you for joining in this out. Welcome to the program. Will starting us off with the social democracy party. Pay me a decisive when in the parliamentary elections. So the box, yes, thats a new agenda that need to add full up probably minutes. So thats the real estate. So used his acceptance speech to reiterate that the country has moved pressing issues, then you can ok and i, it looks like it has other and bigger problems in ukraine. We dont agree with. I mean the great if sma forms of coalition, we would do everything also as a part of the you. I suppose everything could piece in ukraine and efforts to stop peace negotiations on ukraine. A little bit st. So youre saying that she needs at least 2 weeks to form a coalition. Thats because hes going to need at least 2 policies to join his policy in government to get a majority of seats in the National Council office, slip back in. Now, in terms of what hes talked about, domestic issues, he says his priority. So Education Health and looking at the Rising Energy bills, inflation in the country did touch on ukraine and not as being a huge issue in this campaign. Mainly because ukraine is, of course, bordering sort of back here. So lots of people talking about that and what, what feed. So during the campaign had said that he didnt want to send one more single bullet to crane. And today he hung down on not saying he still feels the same. He said, yes, humanitarian aid, but no military aid. Lets have a look at the breakdown now of the main policies in the selection of where they stand. It was just, its me, its helped to pose just around 23 percent. That would tell you up to 42. 00 seats in the National Council. High last who was seen is a policy that have many things in common. In fact, the leader is a school months me a policy at min, but they took around 15 percent of the vote and that was totally up to 27. 00 on the issue of ukraine has been a really big issue for people across slovakia during this election in the lead up to the election here in the summer, we had the voices of some people about what they felt in regards to that military 8 and to they were going to vote for the i will load for the policy that is for piece the supposed solving things in other ways than by senselessly sending weapons. The media changing of the incumbent government is of most important to me. I was very dissatisfied with it because i felt the impact of sanctions on the people and dont agree with this governments policy in general, the work of the slovak for public scum room is terrible for those of net double, you know, to warn ukraine certainly didnt help us for the whole of europe and the sanctions against russia are absolutely useless and totally disastrous for europe as close of some of this. Now this isnt just a couple of voices on the street. One pole recently found the hall for respondents the well send an e mail weapons to quain was another survey recently found, the majority of respondents felt that it was always to be us. Will ukraine itself that was responsible for the was a little bit pete, so well have to create that coalition. He is seen as being a pro russian politician. He said that he disagrees with sanctions on russia. Hes described him as being a logical. Thats something weve heard from some of those smaller policies as well. And really this Election Results is a bit of a political earthquake for brussels, who will not be scratching their heads and wondering whether well but pete, so will keep his campaign pledges to stilts on military 8. And if so, what impacts that could have when we use unanimous support for ukraine in general. Because of course, this now adds another voice to that disenchantment including that of hungry. So the box has made the hungry has to be in a post on supplies, the ukraine from the start of the conflict saying it wants to avoid escalation, read a pass, cause congratulated robot saint. So on his policy, on the when with the pm victoria on quoting it in the spiritual victory, youll so out of the faith, so as a patriot who is a good to what quits. Meanwhile, the election on its result set off the alarm bells and the west, while the Financial Times reported the robust pizza one because of his on to ukraine stones. The New York Times worn to the election will fracture the quote mostly united front in europe when it comes to the war in ukraine. Form. I agree, come boss, really in the disk with some popular assessments about just shift away from all mean kids brings ukraine, one step closer to piece the result of this election is a footstep. So speak with robert faithful whitney this election. We have the he, you 3 countries onboarding. So if i can add folders, i can send the weapons to 30 or to the ukraine. Add within nato. Its 4 countries. If we add the, if we add 13. So we see that this coalition is slowly starting to break apart. And so it resulted in augusta right there is a result of, of the decisiveness of the slow back people at vis. Besides, this should be shown by the people of other Asian Countries as of other they to countries so that we can the last stop the go stations for peace, which is something that we need if youre at, we need on this private across the border in poland opposition need a daunting task, is gearing up the child into the ruling government. And paula met your election set to take place. In 2 weeks time. He has rallied thousands of his supports is on the streets of wool, sol. Holes put his policy in a position to give the incumbent conservative coordination around for the money to us because of our to many times with the new which have recently been strained over a purchased fund on random thoughts from the job. I didnt is expecting congress to pos and not that Financial Aid package for ukraine. Also, promising kia of the washington support would stop. Now thats all to be us present have to sign an emergency funding built, prevent a government shut down which excludes new support for key f. We can not under any circumstance allow their support for these planning to be interrupted. I fully expect the speaker to keep his commitment to secure a passage and support needed to help ukraine and say defend themselves against regression of brutality. And us president requested an additional 24000000000. 00 and 8. 00 fee crane as budget negotiations continued when the funds were cut from the final bill. Democratic need was made assurances that a separate aid package would come soon, but looming tensions and both houses of congress over washingtons priorities suggests that may still be a point to had to see about deal. All these kind of open explains it appears that a deal has been reached. Joe biden has signed a bill into law extending government funding so the government will not be shut down 47. 00 more days. Have been bought by this last minute deal with that before a vented a government shut down. Now this is a deal that was reached in the us house of representatives, but then later approved by the science. And it was a last minute deals. And as we observed in the house of representatives in the lead up to the final boat, things got pretty heated. Heres what republican leaders, Kevin Mccarthy, and Marjorie Taylor green ad to say about how she did things got on capitol hill in the lead up to that final vote in the house of representatives is all right that you put america 1st. This, all right of republicans and democrats joined together to do what is what, what the student wanted to do was focused on ukraine in front of america. I understand our responsibilities, but im going to put america 1st. Crane is not in the 51st state. Joe biden treats ukraine like its a 51st dates. The senate treats ukraine like its the 51st state, including Mitch Mcconnell is one of the worst ones. And youve got the democrats in the house pulling a motion to adjourn, pitching an absolute bed, and apparently pulling a fire alarm over there in the canon building. Because it does not find you crane. Yet Marjorie Taylor green was just referring to there is that apparently democrat jamal beaumont, a member of congress, representing new york. He pulled the fire alarm in a Congressional Office building. Now many believe this was an attempt to cause some kind of security situation or evacuation on capitol hill and prove that the vote from taking place that would pass. Ready budget that does not include funding for ukraine, and this indicates a lot of desperation on the part of the Foreign Policy establishment in washington, dc, jake sullivan, and the National Security advisor. A few days prior to the government shut down crisis, a deep voice. His deep concern is believe that if you grain didnt get this money, it would lead to a full russian victory, or heres what he sat. So i think were at a moments now, whereas those who support the continued defense on freedoms frontier in ukraine need to stand up and make the case for this in the intermediate term. And over the longer term. This is ultimately about us sustaining our support for ukraine for the long term, for years, not just months at a different level, but nonetheless, for years, we are committed to making sure that we must have the support in both parties and in both houses. To get that done, apparently, the strategy and goal of the by the administration is to continue funding and pro line the war for many years. However, it appears that political discourse within the United States has dramatically shifted. Youll recall that just a few months ago was the lens. He was in the halls of Congress Getting the standing ovation and joint sessions of both houses. But his recent visit for the Un General Assembly got no such red carpet or fans there as a wednesday was not granted the opportunity to address congress and opposition to funding of ukraine as increased as we just now see the passage of this expansion budget budget for 47. 00 additional days preventing government shut down, but no new money for ukraine. This is quite a dramatic change. And it looks like within the power structure in United States, the forces that have upholds continued funding and sending of weapons to key a are getting new recruits to join their ranks and expanding their employees and opposition to the continued us funding and pro lying of the conflict is growing, that would be what many would, uh, would you know, conclude, having to look at, look at what just happened to you, or even though the bite and administration wasnt happy about it in order to keep the government from shutting down. They were forced to sign a deal and sign a spending bill with no new money for ukraine. What i want to bring and now talk show host steve miles back, steve box patients. Um, i just want to ask you, i mean, social services would have closed down. Many of them, dublin was would have been left without pay. Job item comes out and says, well what about ukraine . I, i just want to get your opinion as an america. How does it hit to have your president see many prioritize another country . Well, i think ultimately he said, and im no fan of job, i dont get me wrong. Ultimately they prioritize. United states goes ultimately, the senate voted overwhelmingly and the house passed and the president signed the bill without ukraine funding. I think though you hit on it. I think a lot of people in america poll show it. Americans are at best. What uh, on. Uh, on continued unlimited funding to ukraine. I think its been a 112000000000. 00. We hear reports. Its on accounted for, you know, and more and more people elected officials are, are speaking out. Unfortunately, as, as got kayla pointed out, my old friend, there are many, many republicans, certainly understanding the majority of them that the webers, they funding to ukraine. But i want to bring something up that i, i, that is very interesting and was easy to, to miss joe biden. At the end of his little speech today about signing the, the bill was as if he could trust Kevin MccarthyGoing Forward because mccarthys under tact within his own party, blah, blah, blah. And he said, i dont know. Well see, we just made a deal on ukraine. Well see if he keeps it now. Its joe, but with all due respect to him, is that actually what happens . Did mccarthy say we have . Im you sign this bill and i promise you i will bring up ukraine aid on a separate bill. Thats a deal. Or does he just expect mccarthy to do that . So i dont know its joe biden, you can never tell, but that should not be overlook. He said, we have a deal. Well see how this goes. If an answer to could you trust him going on Going Forward. So its going to be very interesting to see how this brought up proceeds in the days to come. Well i, it does seem that all the state are kind of on to amount of attention is being paid to ukraine. 9 and what was interesting is that we were reading how Ukrainian Deputy set the camp was told to keep a low profile over the next 45. 00 days, which is going to be a defining period as they come to that new agreement. And especially to avoid any corruption relates of scandals. Um, im gonna ask you a know youve question. Why do you think that they were given such instruction . Steve . Well, obviously, if any, if anything were to come to light, it would just involved in the case of the mostly the House Republicans and the few in the senate. Uh that dont want to see ukrainian a to be included in any part of a bunch of deals, you know, without much, much, much more scrutiny. So if this comes, if anything were to come to light, if anything untoward were to happen, obviously it would, it would just up. But you know, im bold in their case and it would be hard for me because were coming to an election in a year. And Public Opinion does matter. And i told you with the Public Opinion is already if, if something was to come to light or something were to happen, it wouldnt be easy for uh, for the, the, the same old, same old people to say the same old same old thing as to why we have to keep funding in funding and funding ukraine if the, if something you know, but we were to happen, especially during the period of, of 45 days where theyre working on what will hopefully be a budget for the following year. Uh, yeah, 365. 00 days when the 45. 00 days run out so that this is on charge a territory as far as this for the end, the funding of ukraine and uh, well see how it progresses. Of course. Yeah, i mean, obviously you talked about the election cycle. Um, obviously a lot of people say a lot of things and the lead up to the election. But it definitely seems that that was a great deal of frustration. Not just amongst some people in politics, but also in the ground. Youre talking about some splits amongst the American Public as well. Do you think that this frustration will have an impact on how washington approaches, new creating and conflict . Basically, how do you see americans pull for kids pining out as we go up to november 24 . I just, i see more and more politicians are running. Uh saying, hey, this is unsustainable because our economy is in big, big trouble and people are, are feeling it. Every single pole says that the country is headed in the wrong direction. That the economy stinks and that, and the bind is doing a terrible job on handling the economy. And then if you say, but were giving billions and billions and billions of dollars the ukraine time and time and time again. And we plan on doing it for the foreseeable future. Were the limits people are, are going to say what, wait a minute. What about me . What about the price of groceries . What about my paycheck . What about being able to buy less and do less with my finances . Its not, its, its going to really push is going to come to shove, and youre going to have a lot of standard seats open, especially on the democrats side every how seat obviously, is open at president trump, who will probably be the nominee for the republicans. Has expressed, you know, heres concern with unlimited funding for ukraine. So i think, i think if theres a tied its, its turning and it will continue to turn. Well, definitely be something to keep an eye on. An American Election is always a show. So we will definitely be looking forward to that seems like a lot of peoples Different Countries fates hinge on their elections. That was put, show her staples, but thank you so much for your time sunday. I pleasure. Thank you. But you pay Prime Minister has a week to buy his defense secretary suggestion to send the british troops as instructors to ukraine, while were still not did not roll out doing so in the future. He did claim that definitely what happened in the current conflict. And that was a little off the ground shop said he wants to put boots on the ground, into a, of an even move of british arms production facility. That particularly in the west of the country. Things opportune to now is to bring most things in country and not just draining, but also were seeing b a e u. K. Defense for, for example, move into manufacturing in country and miss reporting about this on place. So just be absolutely clear about whats happening there. People will know for a long time that weve been trading, ukrainian citizens and soldiers. Weve been doing that here in prison. Were taking a lead on that. A lots of other countries have joined our assets and its making a huge difference and well continue to do that. And what the defense actually was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in new christ about something for the loan. So not the here. And now the remote british soldiers that will be sent to fight in the car in conflict. Thats not whats happening. Now. This seems to be something
