[applause] >> [speaking russian] ♪ >> [speaking russian] >> esteemed mr. ronald reagan, president of the united states of america, esteemed mrs. nancy reagan. >> [speaking russian] >> on behalf of the people and government of the soviet union, i extend to you my sincere greetings on the occasion of your visit. welcome. >> [speaking russian] >> it is now almost six months since our meeting in washington, which went down in history as a major milestone in soviet-american, and in international, relations. >> [speaking russian] >> now on this return trip, you mr. president have traversed the great distance that lies between our two capitals to continue our political dialogue. this is a fact we duly appreciate. [background chatter] [applause] >> maybe you want to say something, mr. president, to them. mr. reagan: well, yes i would. i was just saying to the general secretary that i have great admiration for the women of russia. >> [speaking russian] mr. reagan: i think you are courageous. i think you contribute a great stability to the whole society, but also to

or russian cutouts. leave aside trump. we've discussed him and his interest in doing a business deal. >> you're talking about carter page -- >> paul, we'll start with paul manafort, the campaign chairman. when we quote vtoria nuland who was -- >> who was also the victim of a dumping in her own right. >> in many ways, the first victim of the putin information warfare campaign. when she finds out putin -- manafort is the chairman of the trump campaign, she goes, manafort? he's been a russian stooge for 15 years. she knew this because manafort had been a very major presence in ukraine as the consultant to the pro-russia political party, to january -- yanokovic, had collected millions of dollars for that, had as his chief assistant in kiev a guy who we write about in the book who was a known russian intelligence agent. in fact, we just learned in recent days -- >> former -- >> no, no. in the recent filing by robert mueller, the fbi assessed he has ties to the russian military intelligence agency, the gru. so

so i reject the idea that he is a russian asset or that wikileaks is a russian front. at this junctu although i once believed that the dnc had been hacked, today i don't think they were hacked at all. as you may know, i'm being sued along with others including the trump campaign by the democratic national committee, which is terrific because we'll get a chance to look and examine those servers and establish once and for all whether the dnc was ever hacked by anyone or whether the information was downloaded to some kind of portable drive and taken out the backdoor, which a number of i.t. counter terrorism experts now believe based on an article i read in the nation. host: you have written how many books? guest: this is my sixth book. i am a "new york times" best-selling author, but this book is somewhat different than the others. you don't have to be a republican or a conservative or a trump supporter to benefit and enjoy this book. it just would work for bernie sanders supporter, progressive even people who aren't inrested in politics whatsoever. if you're trying to ge

the main mistake and they are not to ninety's was assuming that the russian culture the russian values. need to change in order to accommodate the economic wisdoms rather than the other way around that you need to. adopt economic reforms to the peculiarities of the russian character i wonder where do you come out on. how customisable is they decide the science of economics. to some extent. i don't think there is any kind of historical tradition that. inefficient and corrupt or inefficient course this could be improved and this could be changed but i mean when you when you say about the inefficient corrupt police. i think we would all agree that there are still plenty of instances of corruption and torture and many other things that are absolutely horrifying but when you look at the trajectory or how that institution has been changing you really see no change comparing let's say seventy years ago. the changes sort of. just. didn't improve efficiency. see image improvement when you come to. see. it. not just a law enforcement issue that's a major value that will take a major rally shift

it up mark in that explained the resurrection of a russian journalist in ukraine who's in russian and i think i got them right ok so this journalist opposition activists are back janko he's a veteran of the chechen war he tried on the russian side the russian side he tried to get out of military duty by claiming mental illness in fact he got caught bribing a doctor to claim he was mentally ill he ended up not serving when his parents broke in there was commander's office and threatened to chain themselves to the radiator then he volunteered to go back to the second shot at you and more as a contract soldier then he became anti-war then he became anti russian government this is a guy who really has no law. for his country and their the country doesn't have much love for him he celebrated the death of children in a fire in cattermole recently saying burn burn he said he celebrated the death of a red army choir and journalists that were on route to syria for a performance saying they were as guilty as putin and he posted on social media that he promised to come back to russia on the firs

translator: [speaking russian] [laughter] [applause] >> [speaking russian] >> mr. president, how was the walk this morning in the kremlin? mr. reagan: it was just fine. i have long wanted to see red square. and the general secretary very kindly took me out. i not only saw it, i got to walk in it and to meet some of your people. >> how far are the talks? >> how are the talks going so far? mr. reagan: they are just fine. >> do you still think you are an evil empire, mr. president? mr. reagan: no. >> [speaking russian] >> why not? >> [speaking russian] >> are you happy? >> [speaking russian] >> the problems of reducing strategic locker rooms -- strategic arms, eliminating chemical weapons, conventional arms in europe, this is the central [indiscernible] we discussed that with the president. our experts are -- mr. gorbachev: [speaking russian] translator: we would like more visits. just like space seems to become routine, your visits seem to become regular. mr. gorbachev: [speaking russian] translator: mr. president -- mr. gorbachev: [speaking russian] translator: we a

one german russian at least plans to give his all for russians world cup aspirations constantine's i wish at the age of six he and his family left russia for germany he went pro at hanover and played for various german news teams but russia remained in his heart last fall he played his first international match for russia although he didn't make the world cup squad playing for russia is still an honor. in the club order. does it in. a moment of. for me or. for my my as a. spider man as for. been through. has been the. like all other russian national players mouse to have to deal with the issue of doping russia's athletes are often regarded with suspicion and football players and no exception. at the last world cup in brazil allegations of doping were made against the russian scene russia was accused of manipulating urine samples to cover up doping. richard mclaren a special prosecutor on behalf of the world anti-doping agency named the number of affected cases. and there are also or one hundred fifty five samples awaiting analysis and were seized by water and we also reported those t

my daughter is russian. many people in my family are russian. people i work with in my business are russian. i'm mostly in the entertainment business, but when it comes down to it, the question that they asked me was, did any russian offer you information about hillary clinton. it was on that line of a question. my answer is, i don't recall. >> that even seems more likely given where we were last summer. given the intense interest and if anyone wanted to know any trump campaign official had contact, it slipped your mind? >> absolutely. the fbi informant contacted me and i was on the phone with him for less than a minute. the whole conversation between me and stone and him took about two minutes of my life in a very busy time. so, i didn't recall it. i've updated my testimony with the house permanent select committee on intelligence. i fulfill eed my duty to the hoe of representatives and i didn't recall it, not remembering happens quite a lot. i'm sure people want to talk about whether or not i remembered that day more than they want to talk abo

it was a russian operation. it was not a true. the french were able to prove that based on terms of the origin of information. the same news cycle, they were and to debunk it publicly, blunted the weapon. we have to be in the same class knowme place so that they this will cripple them as well. we can talk about those later. >> the vice-chairman and i many times wondered what we would have done if we had the same ability as the french do. to some degree it shows you the vulnerabilities. we are challenged to live within the first amendment, and clearly they have some tools we didn't have. >> i am not recommending that. information is the best -- sunshine is the best disinfectant. >> it is obvious it changed the campaign for russia as it related to france. >> i would like to follow up on that point. in talking to people in eastern europe, i have asked them, what is the best defense? you can't cut off television, take off the internet. they said the best defense is for the public to understand it is happening. they can discount, it is

you know the russians and know that. when you talk about other actors leaning into this and nation states and other activists and want to engage and people have a political beef and want to affect this. for you in particular with the russians and mr. daniel and broader session and what is the next move? where are they going next. based on what you've seen. you're not there all the time. what do you think is the next move? >> i think we're already seeing some of the moves on the russian side. there's obviously the electoral target between the course of 2017-2018, they've had great success turbo charging their efforts to divide the u.s. on race, on issues, on gun control, on any of the scenes that stretch us. so i any they will accelerate -- i think they will accelerate that. i don't know whether they will have a view about the 2020 election but having been more successful than they anticipated the last time, you could see them be quite aggressive on both sides, both at primary time and election time in trying to influence

there were no contacts between the clinton campaign and the russians. it is simply not the same. -- was there something wrong with getting a fisa warrant. the fbi waited to begin their pfizer investigation until carter page was no longer -- they did not want to be wiretapping and actual campaign advisor. theyaid til he formally -- i think that is important to recognize. there's been a lot of back and forth on it. there was a paragraph that indicated to the court that thereas some opposition research that had been involved .n the dossier carter page had been someone who is a target of attempts to recruit him. three years before this happened, repeated attempts by russian intelligence. the fbi met with him and said do not read -- do not meet with the russians. he left them off. carter page makes a trip to russia where he comes back and says he did not meet with russians but the fbi has evidence he met with russian officials connected to intelligence. that would raise questions in my mind. host: al in dayton, ohio. you are the last call. go right ahead. ca

trump has to pardon konstantin kilimnik, a russian citizen, russian intelligence operative. and i know trump is willing to push the envelope but that seems unlikely. if you step back from this, this is just -- this is just a remarkable moment, right in u.s. political history. you might remember the day before the trump inauguration, "the new york times" had this amazing report. the new president about to be sworn in the next day, caught up in a counterintelligence investigation into links between people associated with him and russia. and russia had just attacked our election to help him. quote, the counterintelligence investigation centers at least in part on the business dealings that some of the president-elect past and present advisers had with russia. paul manafort did business in russia and younger. some contacts were under surveillance by the nsa for suspect the links to russia's federal security service. i mean, that was the day before the inauguration. we knew the day before trump was worn in that people close to the new president campaign manager had been under sur

the extension of nato military infrastructure towards russian borders because i don't think russians if you're really i mean at least if you talk to mr putin he quite plainly said that's what the result of russia was objecting to was not. european and ukrainian integration you know economic cooperation with russia was really troubled by is the prospect of nato and its borders on the stand could be to do since you did russia is fishy. when the didn't need to move into did needle russian ideas really emerge the words if it understanding the kills are much closer cooperation the. not really where this is in my opinion one of the big mistakes on both sides especially on the major side or this is the big disappointment on the other hand i think you should not forget to add to the ukrainian thing the opening problem started with the e.u. association agreement i would. exclude that we underestimated ter some sensitivities on the russian side but it's not true that all of the european in their way was not seen is as a problem. and i think this was not this is harry because we are extremely i

that is the russian collusion delusion. with all of theti investigators that the special counsel indicted 13 russian and to provide every two them looking for a headline it is about this investigation if a witchhunt and interestingly returning the country to prosperity abroad it is amazing how much the president can achieve given those attacks with the democrats in his critics and mr. giuliani is absolutely right. >> with that trump associate with the russian national during the 2016 campaign were there any other meetings that took place in 2016? >> nine that i can recall that was an oculus that i want to be clear to you purchase information on to donald trump. >> to "stone's rules" the and consistent to take a run with the bogus claims is a russian agent and then to pass them to donald trump and the trump campaign is the biggest lie of the century. >> absolutely true. that was on msnbc. let me be clear. for that exact closure timing regarding the dnc. hacking the emails from juliana sans or wikileaks or the russians or any

big russian businessman. several years ago it's one of the public meetings with our business business leaders but again i don't want to bring up the good of the phrase for bassem it was a bit rude. but i warned them he's got them with him he wouldn't if i told them that we might with them they might have faced such a scenario and advised them back then. there's a little bittersweet capital to keep their money. keep the money in those places where the money to use them to develop the russian economy to keep them safe for them with back in two thousand and eight i mean could you just knew you when you made a week where the global economy was hit with a crisis center outside crisis you know russia was affected too many of the russian companies were. up in the finance in which you have. taken out from western banks they experienced a situation that's known as margin call. and. collateral was worth was. worth less and they had to. repay those loans or to add more property collateral or else they could have lost th

russians called sputnik. within 60 days is showed up on fox news. 60 days further, donald trump would be on stage saying russia, if you're listening, please release the 30,000 hillary clinton emails. that information warfare operation work as planned. thrown through where i got to the mouth of a presidential candidate and was believed to be true. there is no way it could be true, right? no one releases discussions of the top five guys in the kremlin to the public to say they're having a debate about hillary clinton's emails. but it became so pervasive people to this day say it is a fact. this is the core of russia's military psychological warfare and information warfare against the united states. the last point i think that is most significant in this discussion is the fact that used wikileaks. assanges -- julian hated hillary clinton. be made that clear on his own blog. they knew they could not get it through to the larger news media themselves so they leaked all this material to wiki leaks. theleaks prompte

from across the globe have been out in force in the russian capital reveling in the festive atmosphere. we'll have a unique insight and analysis from one of the best minds in the game manchester united manager. hello from moscow this thursday june the fourteenth you can get up to speed on global development at r.t. dot com now the day the football fans worldwide have been waiting for with the start of the twenty eighteen feet for world cup now just hours away over the coming weeks we're going to bring you the best of the atmosphere from across all of the host cities in the biggest country in the world right now for the next thirty minutes let's join our teams top team in the heart of the russian capital. yes it's a big hello from the heart of. the heart because the football world cup is. in russia. over the course of the next four weeks and we have got one of the biggest names in one of the most successful managers in the help guide us through it joining us now along the studio overlooking red square is once you know it's. great to see you. well first of all. my pleasure now before we

so other russians came along later. mr putin has a very different definition of what it means to be a great power. but i want to remind people that russians earlier, and russians in moscow and saint petersburg and vladivostok today, also think of themselves as proud patriots, but they also want to be a pa rt patriots, but they also want to be a part of the west, they also want their country to be a democratic russia. well, let's examine that in some detail, and let's talk about your own role in russia policy in washington through the period of barack obama's washington through the period of ba rack obama's two washington through the period of barack obama's two terms, but particularly as you are his advisor to the white house was sometime and then sent to moscow to be the us ambassador to russia. this, of course, is now fast to the period roughly from 2008 to 2012, and then in moscow to 2014. by then, you had had vladimir putin become clearly the predominant politician in russia. yes. he was winning elections by huge ma

suffer to choosing his mate has penned off and has actually way to achieve full for him so so far the russian manager isn't here off i off the russian team of course he can talk about the cherish if you score three goals and zuba but you need someone to beat them and he has done that and when he picked the squad and people forget that he picks somebody old fellas think felons that have retired from international football and still is working i thought they were accidents today and they were in the e.u. think thirty year old sent home against muscle some people saying the best player in the well then he got a kick from the pound saying it's pretty impressive specs play in the well i said oh no i'm doing something to say some people some people i think it's our legs who are whose accidents and people are watching we came across he's a massively vocal supporter and he obviously he's been watching he's actually been saying you know he's watching this with two hearts which i don't understand anything off the legs of the country's just won two games what's that all about. well the too hot situation

next i would like to say a few words about the russian protection. there is a view o that we see involved where is the endpoint of this are a posturing themselves to become an expeditionary military like ours and where is that going to stop in terms of the capability enhancement. russia continues to emphasize his capabilities and readiness rates across the general-purpose forces said th the army, navy, e air force they are required to maintain certain levels and a percentage in very good working order so they can respond quickly to the workers to deploy. russia drills down this capability often you may have heard of things cold snap exercises is about testing the abilittesting the abilityto resd accurately to the orders from the general staff. this isn't a new concept but it's even important now since they've drawn more significantly the last ten years. a number of forces today is smaller so the concept of the strategic mobility is the ability to go from the center to the border region or from one to another quickly and it's incredibly important for

president so the problem is that a lot of russian resolutions ideas in try and use documents so it will take a long time for europe to get rid of this pressure from the united states by the whole europe will soon or way to liberate itself not by the european union so by by some other form you know probably individually ten seconds mark yeah. have a further stretch columbia in asking for the job is that we got about the right this is another expansion while trump is preaching against nato and saying that europe isn't spending spending enough on nato the feds call it wants u.s. military bases that in germany now colombia this is just foreign policy but all these gentlemen we've run out of time many thanks to my guests in moscow and in london this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the expanded version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember cross talk rules. go . four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no pos

i think the russians know their system is flawed and never as good as ours. and really only way to do it. >> thank you. you do a lot of tracking in politics. how is the supreme court's decision in citizens united impacted the ability of foreign government to influence our election? >> they upheld disclosure 8-1 was made precipitously without thinking the structure was there. i this i th i think this was unfortunate. and now it falls to the bodes and congress. >> how would you assess the job congress is doing to change the laws in reaching this threat? >> i regret that, again, because of the seriousness of the discussion today and its import for our health of our democracy, i regret it is not speedy enough to protect us. >> and do you think the rest of the world notices that when we are not doing much? >> i think they never stopped noticing the weaknesses that have at various times cropped up. and it's been a bit of a kind of two steps forward, one step back chase to stop, to fill up the gaps in the ability to undermine the system. so, yes. >> we have gotten s

from russian viewers. in this portion of the program, he answered questions about relations with the west, russian forces and the construction of a 12-mile bridge to the crimean peninsula. this year we have a lot more questions about the relations with russia anda the west. ish should say it's also about e theory of disappointment by one of the t strategies received. it's the main instrument of talking with us. how should we behave when no one even turns to listen to our arguments and we can see no one is going to listen to wes? >> one of the questions says you get an endless stream of actions against russia. >> much is clear on this. this is a method to contain russia just like the so-called sanctions. these current allegations provide the basis, the foundation to take the containment measures that would contain russia. that would bring more benefits for the global economy. you can see what has been happening in some of the western countries as the politicians need to build relations with russia. politici

i love russians. just because i disagree with the policies of the person who was in the kremlin, i'm not going to allow people to deny me the right to continue to love russians in russia. it happens to me. i'm being attacked all time after this book. they hate russia, cold warrior, i'm not. and i wish i would have spent a little more time making that clear. we can criticize donald trump and it doesn't mean we don't love america. give me a break. i wish i would have made that clear. second, i am an optimist about russia. maybe i am an optimist in general. just because i was born in montana that has nothing to do with being for analyzing things. but i am an optimist for two things, all kinds of things, but i want to end with two anecdotes. one professor from stanford and number two, an anecdote as ambassador. i'm sure some of you have taken the class and you know that there is a theory the more likely it is to become democratic. that has happened over the last uple of years, fits and starts and we don't

after that, he wrote an article calling russian interference a true act of war. you said that this episode in germany was an instance of putin lying to trump and you said it showed the perils of negotiating with today's russia. today, after the meeting with putin, one told us that the interference did come up with putin today, and that the russian side denied ever having interfered or interfering in u.s. domestic politics. i'm wondering if you would say back then that this was an instance of putin lying and whether the still shows the perils of negotiating with russia. thank you. [foreign language] >> i appreciate all this research into my prior writings. [foreign language] [laughter] >> and, as i've said many times in washington, i'm now happy to say this in moscow, i don't really address what i've written the past or what i said on television. it is all out there. right now, i'm an adviser to president trump and it is his agenda we are pursuing. that is the agenda that i intend to advance. we did indeed talk about russian interference in the elections, and i ex

russian descent or russian citizen, this person was coming directly from the russian government in the way the don junior meeting seems to have transpired. mimi, how significant is this likely to be? michael caputo says he was questioned about this quite a bit by mueller's team, that it got heated at times. how big of a piece of the puzzle could this be? >> i think it could be very big. first of all, we have caputo saying nothing came of this, it was one minute. you did a great job of pointing out, well, there was actually more substance to it. you have some back-and-forth, not an easy meeting to forget, as he claims. but right now we have this series of games between caputo, roger stone, many people in the trump orbit with various russian actors. we don't know -- but mueller does -- what came of those meetings. so first of all, if we are talking about crimes, crimes of lying about the meetings, but then, yes, is it possible that there are crimes in and of themselves that are chargeable from having taken those meet beings and not reported those meetings to the fbi at the time that they

and he's predicting a russian win tonight despite despite a lot of negativity in the russian press. if i was. checkers off i hope by sharing his name not so lots of wrong i'll be happy because. no expectations no positivity no optimism everybody expects the worst and it can be in this moment in his auto with this players preparing everybody for their. for their country pride. for their let's do it for the country let's do it for ourselves let's do it. against the ones that don't believe in don't believe in so i think can be can be a good thing for them you want my personal opinion i give my personal opinion i think there is a little bit of identity crisis in the russian team we are used at least i think my generation used to have. the russian teams with a certain identity i think they lost a little bit of that identity there in the search of that talent is not in men's. but they have enough they have enough to win tonight they have enough to through the the group phase and of course later you will get the teams more talented with probably the best the best teams in europe the best t

but not uniformed russian personnel. so i think that's something they'll take on board moving forward. >> there's been a lot of talk about china using the same approach that russia did in countries that border -- where it takes advantage of russian populations in countries on its border and now large portions of eastern russia are ethnically chinese because they moved across the border illegally. do you see anything where russia is trying to come up with a strategy to defend those areas against future chinese aggression? >> i would say very little directly about china, even when they hold -- even when they hold some of the exercises in the far east, very large commitments of troops, they don't specify an adversary. so they seem to be playing that a little closer to the chest than being very open about nato as a potential adversary. so they don't talk about it very much. do you know of anything? >> no, nothing i can think. but i think that if that concern was permeating the russian government, that would be the responsibi

. >>> roger stone and the russian. a report on the long time con if i dan-- confidant. >>> and the plan to stop accept operating children at the border. >> it is unjust, unamerican, and it is unbiblical. >> zero tolerance. i don't think you have to justify it. >> families told me they didn't know about this policy when they left central america. >> some adults use children to gain access to the border. >> this is unchecked, fight or flight, constant surge of hormones disrupting brain development. >> and the president's legal team takes a turn in the mueller probe. >>> first, the big story this hour, trump confidant, roger stone, admitting to meeting with russian contact for dirt on hillary clinton. "the washington post" reports stone met with a russian national in may of 2016 who allegedly offered damaging information about clinton. joining me, one of the co-authors of that "the washington post" article. awfully good to see you. been awhile. let's get to it. what did you learn? >> this is one of those only in florida,

in any event, i don't know if she was described clearly as a russian official or just a russian lawyer. it led to nothing. it led to no information. >> yeah. >> just like the thing with stone led to no information. so all these things are kind of dry holes. >> all right. i want to ask you one more thing, sir, before you go and go celebrate father's day. you said something yesterday about the agents and investigators working on the russian probe that raised a lot of eyebrows. let's play some of that sound. >> instead of investigating president trump, they should go to bellevue! whack adoodles! hillary, what's going to happen! i need a psychiatrist! >> talking about prosecutors and fbi agents, saying they're whack-a-doodles and psychiatric hospital. >> that was nice. >> there were a lot of people shocked and disappointed to hear you attacking prosecutors and fbi agents. >> well, i'm sorry. i had to put prosecutors and not fbi agents but other law enforcement in jail when i was a prosecutor. never shrunk from that responsibility. some of them are unfair. some of them are unethical. the gu

he was convicted of being an accomplice of the russian mafia and the russian mafia would have had an accomplice in the regional police so it shows you the things they were coming up against but i think spain crackdown is interesting because it's been one of the most sustained and systematic and they've arrested some of the most important bosses, russian or eurasian mafia bosses, they've arrested outside of russia including the georgian kingpin. they've led europe wide investigations of a particularly murderous georgian mafia which to show you the kind of obstacles they were up against, when the spanish warrants were executed throughout europe, in greece one of the georgians paid an $800,000 cash brought bride to the greek police who were coming to arrest him on behalf of the spanish and you heard about the police, a trial of some of these people awaiting a verdict which is in my estimation , i know there are probably experts people like what you heard about. and the depth and the breadth and the specificity of the way that threat that combined these different sectors of crime and int

it is a criticism of the russians. one of the reasons i wrote the to do my part to try to educate the public as to the threat the russians pose. host: you mentioned that he left office on january 20, 2017. in your book, you write about how you spent those last couple of hours as director of national intelligence. i went to afe and brunch at david cohen's home. he and his wife hosted. john brennan and his wife were there and his grandson. and turned ond the television. the clock wound down and all of a sudden, it was noon and we were done. host: what happens at that point? continued with i a security detail for a while. i had one for about a month. that is about the only remnant. you are done, just like that. that is the way it works. host: john brennan has been -- in his criticism of the trunk. what do you -- of donald trump. what do you think? guest: that is john brennan. he is subtle like a freight train sometimes and he wears his heart on his sleeve. he will express his exact sentiments and beliefs in public. host:

by the russian prosecutors. one way to eradicate clupgorrup, we know a bit about it in spain, is that investigations, what people think, that if they reach the prosecutor's office, then really it won't be a thorough investigation. but really what we want is to eliminate criminal organizations and we have seen that in spain, though people are demanding that the prosecutor's office take on these investigations, and not just the police, so it's important to talk about our experience and offer it to others and i come on behalf of the anti-corruption office of the prosecutor and on behalf of the state of spain. again, i appreciate this invitation from an ngo and it's true, i'm not formally representing the prosecutor's office. rather i've come here in my own capacity but i do feel proud to represent both spain and the prosecutor's office. so i'm going to take a few minutes now to talk about the anti-corruption prosecutor's office, the institutions work for and what is the relationship, organized crime, it is called t

we also know russian methods. more broadly, the next steps on this the macedonian parliament has ratified the deal but it has to be confirmed via public referendum. the parliament has to adopt the necessary amendments by two thirds majority. we would then expect to see greece ratify the agreement, only after macedonia has made the constitutional changes. and we expect to see nato extend an invitation to what would be north macedonia at the summit in july. we are hopeful that the eu will decide to open accession negotiations. that is much more uncertain than the nato path. >> have you had a chance to talk to the eu about that? >> yes we have. >> have they given you any indication? >> we are in frequent dialogue with the french on this matter. the french have some concerns that we are working with them to help understand their concerns. i am optimistic that we will see that. we are coming up on a council meeting. i think everyone recognizes that what the greek and macedonian leaders have done is truly historic. if i

then he became anti-war then he became anti russian government this is a guy who really has no love for his country and their country doesn't have much love for him he celebrated the death of children in a fire in cattermole recently saying burn burn he said he celebrated the death of a red army choir and journalists that were on route to syria for a performance saying they were as guilty as putin and he posted on social media that he promised to come back to russia on the first nato tank coming into moscow so this is guy is quite a character let me go let me. get bring us up to the present here i mean i mean this this whole scam here i mean the reason why i'm interested in the story i'm not interested in interested in this guy at all ok. well he's a character i mean hollywood stuff here but when the western journalist exactly how they react to this they they took it as gospel from the government in kiev of that the russians were behind it there is not any evidence whatsoever that is the case material that he is they have more famous russian journalist to live in now in ukraine you know

the moment when the russian top diplomat is n.p.r. is absolutely unique on the one hand the resolution of the korean peninsula crisis might be just a few steps away with a massive concessions the north and the south have both been making and even donald trump to however we understand that any wrong move can make everything collapse. so the question is why exactly. and it up in the capital russian diplomatic sources suggest that it was several indications in a row by mr larrabee taleb part during his visit to moscow. we were also told that the north korean side wanted to help in a south during a traditional way to chat with the journalists on the playing when we asked sergei lavrov why this was happening and what to expect of the visit his answer was well just have to see i don't know for an hour. it's glamourous joseph chang believes that the step by step approach to negotiations suggested by moscow is the only reasonable way to settle the crisis the negotiations process has to proceed in a reasonable rational manner in view of the de

on the -- fighting on the russian side, and they're saying things like i'm fantasizing about russian stealth fighters flying over the capitol, a red flag flying over the white house. and after a while -- at first it seems kind of whacko, but then you realize maybe what historians always do. what we're taught to do is when something strikes you, rath aerothan dismiss it, you're supposed to try to see it from the point of view of the speaker. and if you play that exercise enough times, you realize there may be some patterns here. maybe they're thinking et for a reason. and in retrospect when you put the sources together as i tried to do in the book, you realize if you look at the chronology, the annexation of crimea is followed within a couple of weeks by the internet research agency turning itself attention to the u.s. just by way of riffing on the premise of your question. i think there are two interesting things here. the first is i think the general idea which i call strategic relativism is not to make europe or the u.s. follow some model, right? it's not like the 20th century wher

russian facilities have been closed. we have been clear and public in attributing malicious cyber activity to the russian government. we have done so, sometimes in a coordination with our allies. i think we continue to look for ways to raise costs of maligned behavior, and including influence operations that are illegal. >> for a complete record we have the president of the united states who has referred to the mueller investigation as a hoax and a witchhunt over and over and over again. just this last weekend he called for recognition of russia and the g8 again to give them full partnership back into that organization. it is a mixed message at best. let me go to a specific. i agree with the chairman. it's a senator's job to produce new laws. in one particular area senator graham and the bipartisan bill, to try to deter russians who are seeking visas to come into the united states. for these maligned purposes. we know from the indictment a special counsel mueller of these 13 russians in february of this year. that there
