All right, Alexander, we are very honored and very happy to have with us, Mr. Joe Kent,

0:06.7

a man who does not need any introduction, but is someone that we are very, very pleased to have

0:13.2

with us on the Duran.

0:14.6

So we can talk about everything that is happening in the Middle East.

0:18.5

We can talk about the conditional ceasefire, the talks that have been confirmed

0:23.9

for Pakistan to take place in the next day or two. And we can also discuss all the various

0:30.3

plans that are being debated and discussed the 15-point plan, the 10-point plan.

1:49.2

So this is something that I think it's worth pointing out.

1:53.7

And obviously, Mr. Kent is able to provide us with more analysis and discussion and explanation of where we are,

2:04.4

because that was where we were, the decision to go to war. Let us now discuss where we are.

2:11.7

We are now in a ceasefire situation. There is great muddle and confusion about the nature of the ceasefire,

2:20.2

but it looks as if we're going to have talks, finally, direct talks between the United States
