the
00:00:23
description K stama has just faced one
00:00:25
of the most humiliating diplomatic
00:00:27
rejections in recent memory as Ria
00:00:30
completely dismissed his proposal for
00:00:32
natol peacekeeping troops in Ukraine at
00:00:34
a high stakes press conference Russian
00:00:36
foreign minister Sergey Lov outright
00:00:38
rejected st's idea making it clear that
00:00:41
any foreign troops even under the EU or
00:00:43
national flags would be seen as an act
00:00:45
of provocation by Moscow this brutal
00:00:48
snub comes as the United States and
00:00:50
Russia have now agreed to fully restore
00:00:52
diplomatic ties and begin Ukraine peace
00:00:54
talks a move that just months ago seemed
00:00:56
impossible the shocking shift in
00:00:58
international policy has has been
00:01:00
spearheaded by Donald Trump's presidency
00:01:02
signaling a dramatic departure from the
00:01:04
previous administration stance but
00:01:06
here's where starmer's embarrassment
00:01:08
becomes even more apparent he wasn't
00:01:10
even in the room at a landmark meeting
00:01:12
in Riyad Saudi Arabia US Secretary of
00:01:15
State Marco Rubio met with his Russian
00:01:17
counterpart Sergey lavro to lay the
00:01:19
groundwork for potential peace in
00:01:21
Ukraine this is a huge moment as both
00:01:24
countries who have been at odds for
00:01:25
years are now discussing geopolitical
00:01:28
and economic Partnerships yet yet
00:01:30
despite European leaders scrambling in
00:01:32
Paris to keep NATO relevant in the
00:01:34
conversation they were completely
00:01:35
sidelined from the most crucial
00:01:37
discussions and let's be clear this was
00:01:39
not an accident the Biden administration
00:01:42
had long insisted that Ukraine must be
00:01:44
at the table for any negotiations under
00:01:46
Trump that position has now been
00:01:48
discarded Ukraine was not invited Europe
00:01:51
was not invited the UK and by extension
00:01:53
starma was completely ignored and when
00:01:56
starma tried to insert himself into the
00:01:58
conversation suggested British and NATO
00:02:01
troops could help enforce a peace deal
00:02:03
Russia publicly humiliated him by
00:02:05
rejecting the idea outright lavro stated
00:02:08
in no uncertain terms the appearance of
00:02:10
armed forces from NATO countries under a
00:02:12
false flag under the flag of the
00:02:14
European Union or under national flags
00:02:17
does not change anything this is
00:02:18
unacceptable to us in other words
00:02:20
starmer's Grand idea was dead before it
00:02:23
even started the developments in Riyad
00:02:25
Mark a total transformation in how the
00:02:27
US is handling the Ukraine war Trump's
00:02:30
directive to reopen diplomatic Channels
00:02:32
with Russia is a stark contrast to the
00:02:34
Past policies of Biden and European
00:02:37
leaders Marco Rubio confirmed that the
00:02:39
first step will be to fully staff
00:02:41
embassies in Washington and Moscow
00:02:43
something that has been off the table
00:02:44
since Russia's 20122 invasion of Ukraine
00:02:47
he made it clear that diplomatic
00:02:49
missions need to function normally for
00:02:51
peace talks to move forward this is a
00:02:53
massive blow to European leaders who
00:02:54
have spent years pushing for Hardline
00:02:56
policies against Russia and it
00:02:58
completely sidelines St who is now left
00:03:01
standing on the world stage with zero
00:03:03
influence over what happens next
00:03:05
meanwhile Ukrainian President Vladimir
00:03:07
zalinski has been left in an impossible
00:03:09
position as st's plan was flatly
00:03:11
rejected Ukraine itself was shut out of
00:03:14
the Saudi talks entirely zalinski
00:03:16
currently visiting turkey made it clear
00:03:18
that Ukraine will not recognize any deal
00:03:20
that does not include them in the
00:03:22
process he doubled down on his demand
00:03:24
for a full return to Ukraine's 2014
00:03:26
borders insisting that no matter how
00:03:29
difficult it is for us Ukraine will not
00:03:31
legally recognize the parts occupied by
00:03:33
Russia the East is ours Crimea is ours
00:03:36
but the reality is zalinsky may not have
00:03:38
a choice if the US and Russia move
00:03:40
forward with peace talks without him
00:03:42
Ukraine will be forced to either accept
00:03:43
the deal on Trump's terms or be left
00:03:45
fighting without Western support and
00:03:47
where does that leave starm on the
00:03:49
sidelines powerless while major
00:03:51
diplomatic progress was being made in
00:03:53
Saudi Arabia European leaders scrambled
00:03:56
to keep up meeting in Paris to figure
00:03:58
out their next move the message from
00:04:00
Washington was clear Trump is willing to
00:04:02
end us transatlantic security guarantees
00:04:05
if Europe doesn't step up for leaders
00:04:07
like Emanuel Marron and Olaf Schultz
00:04:09
this is a nightmare scenario but for
00:04:10
starma it's even worse he Stak his
00:04:13
credibility on the idea that the UK
00:04:15
should play a leading role in post-war
00:04:17
security guarantees for Ukraine he even
00:04:19
suggested that British troops should be
00:04:21
involved in policing a ceasefire an idea
00:04:23
that Russia immediately shot down now
00:04:26
with the US shifting its focus to direct
00:04:28
diplomacy with Russia starma looks
00:04:30
completely out of touch he tried to
00:04:32
insert himself into the conversation he
00:04:34
wasn't invited he pushed for NATO's
00:04:36
involvement Russia said no he wanted the
00:04:39
UK to lead the world moved on without
00:04:41
him this is a humiliating moment for
00:04:43
starma who has now been exposed as IR
00:04:45
relevant on the world stage the Riyad
00:04:47
talks signal a new era of diplomacy
00:04:50
under Trump one where starm and Europe
00:04:52
are being left behind while the US and
00:04:55
Russia shake hands on the next steps for
00:04:57
Ukraine starma has been forced to watch
00:04:59
from the Sidelines rejected and ignored
00:05:01
by the very Powers he hoped to influence
00:05:04
so what do you think is starma
00:05:06
completely out of his depth on foreign
00:05:07
policy will Trump's direct diplomacy
00:05:10
with Russia bring an end to the war and
00:05:12
what does this mean for Europe's role in
00:05:14
global security moving forward let me

critical mandate experts have warned it

comes as the zero emission vehicle
00:05:35
mandate consultation ends today which
00:05:37
looks at hearing from automakers about
00:05:39
potential changes to the 2030 petrol and
00:05:41
diesel car ban the date which is 5 years
00:05:44
earlier than the 20035 date introduced
00:05:47
under the conservative government would
00:05:48
mean drivers and car manufacturers would
00:05:50
be forced to commit to electric cars
00:05:52
while the charging Network continues to
00:05:54
grow experts have now warned that if the
00:05:57
consultation leads to a change in the
00:05:58
Mandate it could could severely
00:06:00
compromise the existing electric car
00:06:02
charging Network which secured £6
00:06:04
billion in private investment
00:06:06
commitments for charging infrastructure
00:06:07
deployment charge UK warned that any
00:06:10
changes to the Mandate would risk
00:06:12
impacting the steady progress made by
00:06:14
charging operators who would face huge
00:06:16
problems in meeting the new targets the
00:06:18
organization stated that reducing the
00:06:21
expected number of electric miles driven
00:06:23
in the coming decade would lead to
00:06:25
slower charger deployment increased
00:06:26
charging costs and a more challenging
00:06:28
environment for Ev sales rather than the
00:06:30
desirable effect of moving motorists
00:06:32
away from Petrol and diesel cars the
00:06:34
public charging network has been
00:06:36
steadily growing in the past few years
00:06:38
expanding by 37% in 2024 to reach nearly
00:06:42
75,000 charge points across the UK
00:06:45
experts warned that the progress made
00:06:47
would be in vain as it puts the UK much
00:06:50
further behind than where it needs to be
00:06:53
this infrastructure growth has helped
00:06:55
support EV adoption with electric cars
00:06:57
accounting for a fifth of all new new

00:07:03
UK warned that not only will more
00:07:05
investment be needed but labor may have
00:07:07
to step in and offer more incentives for
00:07:09
drivers on top of urging the government
00:07:12
to maintain the Zev mandate targets it
00:07:14
also called for the leveling up of the
00:07:16
vat rate on public charging to 5% the
00:07:19
organization backed a delay to the
00:07:21
expensive car supplement and vehicle
00:07:23
excise duty rate hikes which are set to
00:07:25
change in April Vicky red CEO of charge
00:07:28
UK said our response to the Z mandate
00:07:31
consultation is straightforward we need
00:07:33
to maintain and build on the conditions
00:07:35
that have led to the recent growth in
00:07:37
charge Point deployment and that have
00:07:39
been pivotal in supporting record levels
00:07:40
of EV sales the charge Point industry
00:07:43
has been working ahead of demand
00:07:45
installing nearly 75,000 public charge
00:07:47
points and over 10 times as many home
00:07:50
and workplace charges enabling drivers
00:07:52
to switch to EVS with confidence she
00:07:55
warned that altering the Mandate would
00:07:57
negatively impact investor confidence
00:07:59
leading to a Slowdown in rollout higher
00:08:02
prices for consumers and a more
00:08:03
challenging environment in which to sell
00:08:05
EVS red added the charging sector is
00:08:08
already delivering the worldclass
00:08:10
charging Network that will power
00:08:12
Britain's zero emission future but we
00:08:14
can only do so with continued policy
00:08:16
certainty charge UK additionally
00:08:19
proposed limiting hybrid car sales to
00:08:21
plug in hybrid electric vehicles in the
00:08:23
final few years of the Zev mandate
00:08:25
between 2030 and 2035 to encourage the
