thanks for joining us. biden on the cliff. that s the focus of tonight s angle. >> it was a beautiful somber setting in france to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d-day today. the few remaining world war ii vets on their final mission. the biden team hoped that the president s remarks would resonate with voters back home, showcasing him as a reaganesque figure who would unite americans and the rest of the world behind his vision. but, the speech they wrote for him merely demonstrated how muddled, unserious, and unrealistic their thinking is. first, the biden folks seemed to think that they can convince us that russia and ukraine poses the same existential threat to the west as germany did in 1944. >> we will not walk away. if we do, ukraine will be subjugated and will not end there. ukraine s neighbors will be

developing, say, technology sectors, equipment manufacturing, that previously russia has been reliant on from the west? how does it grow its own industry and its spending in the military sector to establish those localised industries? there is a lot of that discussion and you hear a lot more about that in partnership with countries, mainly african, asian, south american, who will attend this week. , ., ~ , ., week. interesting, thank you. chris weafer _ week. interesting, thank you. chris weafer of _ week. interesting, thank you. chris weafer of the _ week. interesting, thank you. chris weafer of the eurasia i chris weafer of the eurasia consultancy macro—advisory. thank you. let s get some of the day s other news now. toyota and mazda have paused production of five vehicle models amid a growing scandal affecting japan s car industry. both firms are being investigated over incorrect data on safety certification tests. toyota s headquarters was visited by officials from japan s transport ministry on tuesday. the certification breaches came to light after the toyota subsidiary daihatsu admitted safety test irregulates last year.
expected to meet an attendance the official us led commemoration ceremony is expected to kick off in just a few oman s, but there s special resonance for another reason today. and that is who will be participating vladimir putin of russia will not be here at the request of france but volodymyr zelenskyy, the president of ukraine, will be here with world leaders attempting to signal a show of force from the west continue helping ukraine defend itself. in this modern war on europe s front lines that is going to be a major theme in the speeches that we hear from leaders today. and in the coming days. you can expect president biden to touch on that as well. casey alright. >> kayla tausche for us live from normandy. kayla thank you very much. much for your reporting. will be back with her throughout the morning here. >> when president biden does speak this morning from normandy, he ll be focused on the history but looming over him as an uncertain future as war again rages and eastern
counting on weakness in the west. it s hoping that europeans are becoming tired of the war, they are intimidated by russian threats to use tactical nuclear weapons, to continue the war. they re hoping, i think, that donald trump will win in november. it will make -- it will impose a concessionary deal on ukraine. that s russia s game. i have more confidence in europe perhaps than some other analysts because i ve seen europe wake up to the reality of the russian threat. i don t think europe is going to race back toward moscow the way it was doing in the 80s and 90s. i think that that period is over. but, again, it s crucial that the united states be a strong pillar. europeans worry that we are just a country that you can t tell from one election to the next where we re going to be and i think biden s job is to make his
as it has for various other leaders who have been arriving. you can see the canadian prime minister and various other leaders and here is joe biden who, as i was saying was making that speech a little earlier on comparing what the west had to do 80 years ago with what it has to do now in ukraine. a smiling president macron waits to greet the us presidentjoe biden on the red carpet. joe biden has been stressing just in terms of the american presidential election and how his approach to diplomacy is very much multinational, working with allies in nato, and it is not the isolationism that he would say that donald trump would bring. the

concern you, though, that it could not only escalate the war between ukraine and russia but draw the u.s., the west in -- into this in a much larger way? >> it theoretically could, but it s not likely. look, the idea that russia, this juggernaut that is absolute nuclear weapons, this conventional juggernaut, you know how many troops they ve lost so far? 350,000 dead or wounded, without a single american troop being engaged, by supplying the ukrainians with the weapons they need. >> david: let me ask about what vladimir putin said last night about this authorization of american weapons inside russia. he said, the supply of high-precision weapons to ukraine for strikes on russian territory is direct participation in this war. and again talked about russia s nuclear capabilities. does that concern you? >> i ve known him for over 40 years. he s concerned me for 40 years. he s not a decent man.
