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

, russian intelligence operative. and i know trump's 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 that's about to be sworn in the very next day is 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. "the counterintelligence investigation centers at least in part on the business dealings that some of the president-elect's past and present advisers have had with russia. paul manafort has done business in ukraine and russia. some of his contacts there were under surveillance by the nsa, the national security agency, for suspected links to russia's federal security service." i mean, that was the day before the inauguration, and we knew the day before trump was sworn in that p

government, russian military, russian intelligence interfered in the u.s. presidential election in 16 to try to help donald trump win that election. to put a finer point on it, we got that indictment in february filed against 13 russian individuals and three russian corporate entities. indictment filed in federal court in washington that spelled out the findings of robert mueller's office, the special counsel's office on how exactly russia conducted that operation, at least the part where they conducted their own influence operation from outside t united states targeting the u.s. plic opinion in ways that would benefit trump during the election. we've got that spelled out in that indictment. we n'have any denitive public findings on thus far is the question of whether or not the russian government also found ways to directly assist the trump campaign as an entity rather than just targeting u.s. public opinion. i mean, we do have evidence about that, but we don't have definitive public findings of the kind we might see in an indictment. we do know, though, t

[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

he has indicted 13 russian nationals and three russian corporations and seven others who may have been complicit in the effort. when we look at the money given $380 million, i think illinois has $13 million and we were hacked by the russians, i wonder if we can point to a record where we have aggressively gone after russian interference, set upefenses and deterrence so they will not do this again in november. are you confident we have been, under this administration, aggressively pursuing this russian interference in our last election? beenickey: i think we have trying to raise costs on russia for a range of its malign activities. in doing so, we have brought charges against officers not related to election interference but in connection with hacks of yahoo! and others. individuals have been sanctioned by this administration. dozens of diplomatic officers have been kicked out of the united states will stop russian facilities has been closed. we have been clear in attributing malicious cyber activity to the russian government. we have done so sometimes in coordination with our allies. w

russian cilities 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 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 xed messe at best. let me go to a specific. i agree with the chairman. it's a senator's job to produce new laws. senato particular area r graham and the bipartisan bill, to try to deter russians who are seeking visas to come into the uned 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 was specific ac

it up mark in that explain the resurrection of a russian journalist in ukraine who's russian yes ok i think i got that right ok so there's a journalist opposition activists are back janko he's a veteran of the church and 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. 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 war as a contract soldier 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 n

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

but bithe russians. can you explain to us what procedures the department of homeland security makes once it has identified a potential threat to a state's election infrastructure? >> sure. and thank you for the question, senator. from the department of homeland security's perspective, our number one goal in that instance is to ensure a timely and actionable sharing of that information to the system of owners and operators. so in the case in 2016, moving forward, we enshoord we got indicator specific information down to the owners and operator to look for possible issues or incidents and respond on that. then we offered responses. if necessary. >> so in your opinion, how fast can the federal government help? we have elections are aprimaril a creature of states an local governments. typically it's not the federal government that's running elections. but the national interest in otecting integrity as against those who would try to interfere from outside and foreign powers would certainly be cause for concer

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 a character i wonder where do you come out on. how customisable is they decide the science of economics. i think this is some extent true. things like. food nation of the story i don't think there is any kind of historical. 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. the police. not just a law enforcement issue that'

the organisation of the russians and it physicality of the russians, the manager got it right, it might not get on you know they've got it right for the first match of 2018, saudi arabia, just looked at little bit out of their depth. they played really good football, they u nfortu nately really good football, they unfortunately overplayed in the wrong areas, they did not look organised. physically they looked very slight. yes, maybe a little bit out of that. the tests will get much harder much quickly for the russians because next up it egypt. if mo salah is fit to play that game, the defenders, they were never challenged for paste the night, they we re challenged for paste the night, they were never in the one—on—one. they would be against mo salah, do you think they would struggle and soirees when they play your about —— uruguay? i think there's possibly more chinks in the armour of the russians, they weren't tested at all, everything in the final third saudi arabia tried to do, they obviously took the wrong decision or the russians squashed it. i can't believe some of the fai

i reject the idea that he is a russian asset or that wikileaks is a russian front. at this juncture although i once believed that the dnc and then, today i don't think they were hacked at all. as you may know i'm being sued along with others in the trump campaign by the democratic national committee which is terrific because we will get a chance to 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 a backdoor which a number of it experts s now believe based on an article i read. >> you've written how many books, roger stone? >> this will be my sixth book. i'm a new york times best-selling author of 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 . this would work for a bernie sanders supporter, a progressive, even people who aren't interested in politics whatsoever. if you're trying to get a hand in business or media or fashion or agr

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

the russian teams with a certain identity i think they lost a little bit of that identity that 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 those through the the group phase and of course later you will get the teams more talented with the probably the best the best teams in you know the best teams in south america and then becomes a huge a huge challenge but i would say that russia has has enough has enough to get. i would say probably the five points that you need to qualify. ok service doesn't mean you're talking at me. earlier this afternoon before this massive match russia against saudi arabia he also mentioned the importance of being mentally strong an awful lot of pressure is on the russian team and i've read what he says like i'm supposed and it's strange why that can affect cheating counting as a lot of pressure on russia as a nation you know everybody will be looking at russia today so i think every russian person will feel that kind of pressure you know we want to show our country from the side we wan

seven summit that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there on the second day of the cement truck made a few comments in regards to russia saying it used to be the g eight before russia was taked out and he also called for russia to be reinstated saying that they should be at the table so that they can solve the world's problems together naturally some leaders were opposed to this including mccraw and merkel but first some background of crimea joined russia after a referendum was held where almost ninety seven percent of the population voted to join russia and international observers were present at this referendum but it's pretty big that this is all coming from a u.s. president so we'll just have to see what happens well speaking at a white house press conference spokesperson sara sanders declined to expand on donald trump's remarks are aware of any comment like that i know it's been reported but i'm not going to comment on a private conversation i wasn't part of that i don't have information on. united nations has held an emergency session on the saudi led offensive in th

now, the russian intel guy manafort is charged with in the superseding indictment, the russian guy did not turn up in court for his arraignment on these charges today along with paul manafort, but we'll have more on that in a moment. now, what happened next was more dramatic. first we got him pleading not guilty to the new charges that he's facing along with his russian co-defendant, who's not there in court. and then we get the part that leads to him going to jail. you'll recall that paul manafort was first charged last october, then he was further charged in february, then he was further charged last week. but what happened today after he was arraigned on the newest set of charges today, the ones where he pled not guilty, what happened right after that was that then the judge took up the issue at length of whether or not manafort could continue to be out on house arrest while he's waiting for his trial to start. the latest charges from the special counsel's office say that manafort secretly contacted witnesses in his case and tried to get those witnesses to lie for his benefit and he

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

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

players they can compete at the highest level of russian national team to play for russian players. against egypt against old are over it is the most important if you must believe your. blare for your account and what motivation. maybe after five years in national teams. decades of faltering steps russia is finally getting to watch its own star performers on football's biggest stage and the richardson al-jazeera. for argentinians football is a national passion all eyes have been on the men's team at the world cup as they struggled to make out of their group but at the reports from players in the women's team caught up in a battle of their own one of equality. it's training time for the women's football team twice a week they travel to. ground on the outskirts of when a site is nine of them by members of argentina's national squad. including the ten florins one so will know she accepts that the men's team is extremely important for argentina but says that women should not be forgotten that. we are fighting for change in women's football and the clubs in the national team i wish we co

in the different cities and different parts of the russian but. you have to say it welcome the world we want to show the. new russia the stuff you know that there is a peculiar quality to russians that we tend to treat our aghast batter than ourselves or our own people do you think there will be any change in russia on the inside in the aftermath for example of the world cup in terms of how our police force treats large crowds on the streets on about how open russians are to the rest of the world do you expect any of that now even though in the high game this must. mean your game. which is supposed to be you know how to play in the hard hitting with stuff like that they play artistically ripley create your style here always being the grace if in any sport this is the form to the people around the game and of course you know it's. not a hard thing sold out to the host people to give them the respect and make them feel comfortable and think it's not so wrong and trust me i've been around for and i. must say i was just really feel right now in the st

chest self has been head coach of the russian national team for nearly two years the fifty four year old took over after russia was knocked out of your a twenty sixteen in france one call from the kremlin and the job was his but while managing the sport high at the world cup on home turf is a national honor it will be no light undertaking to read a shrake. once the furthermost flaked. stubble woodstock. stanislav salaam of it chess off transferred from spa tech moscow to denominate tasted in one thousand nine hundred three he didn't speak a word of german at the time danny as he's known for sure remembers the struggles during his first days in germany or. on the mountain i claim it was even. under the chest of the russian team has undergone plenty of change they no longer resided luxury hotels opting instead to stay in the former soviet sports complex built for the nine hundred eighty and then picked games twenty kilometers outside of moscow. this massive facility is also where they're based during the world cup. here in more modest scorches chesnoff tries to bring the players who ea

among the russian citizens attending trump's inauguration were the russian lawyer from the june 2016 trump tower meeting. she's the one who reportedly offered russian government dirt on hillary clinton to trump's campaign. also with her the russian lobbyist who attended the trump tower meeting with her. nice velvet tux, right? you clean up nicely. that's them at a trump inaugural event. so the washington post in january did this first reporting about all these well connected russians, people well connected to the russian government who just happened to pop up in d.c. on the day trump became the most powerful person on the planet. today, abc news advanced the story. they have obtained guest lists from exclusive invitation-only formal receptions that were held during the trump inaugural celebration. this isn't just for going to the inauguration, the big outdoor event where it rained at the capitol. these are vip exclusive black tie events you needed to get invited to and that not that many people got to attend. why were there lots of russian government connected russian citizens invite

chess stuff has completely revitalized the russian team. very refreshing come across relaxed in this t.v. shoot. but on the pitch it's not the story. of the show of suburbia which has. the pros the college the from but it's the. to see it. but is that what i mean again i thought the whole crave of sex i but i suppose of course assume as boredom it. would be just because i was just sort of the press the bill i was most honest even these bushes times were smokers are from but it's the regards. shas unless. there's a live news from all of you so that for you so the assault on some of the more than you know would have you it appears you're putting your particular question to all of. us to your specific commercial literature. the soviet union national football team won an olympic gold medals twice and we european champions in one nine hundred sixty now with the world cup at home russia hopes to channel its former glory days. or. nobody fight for ireland. or does that. somehow do their talking to do but unfortunate. because they will go through t

yes in a stable and reliable manner and moreover rush is russian oil and gas are also transported to other european countries through austria therefore it would be no always statement to say that russia and austria jointly through joint efforts contribute to energy security of the entire european continent we jointly work on expanding our cooperation in the area of energy today our leading companies gazprom an m. file they say a contract for gas shipments up to the year twenty forty two austria we are also continuing the implementation of the north stream to the line and the austrian federal chancellor has confirmed that austria considers this project to be a purely economic undertaken undertaking we also discussed the technical and the industrial cooperation and the increasing mutual investment. i already said this following my meeting with the austrian president. our investment is almost twenty four billion dollars in australia this minute is four billion. we are implementing the declaration on partnership for modernization which was signed in two thousand and fourteen and within i

mafia russians but not the russian got to worry about this as well yeah i mean that was the understanding and there's also been some reporting in europe of it that it's been pretty much wiped widespread there was a story but the same actual same thing that they were actually were doing work for the marriage for the british intelligence committee activities i mean there is a big russian mafia let's face it and but that is in the russian government all i would say is i think i mean tony what i was told but i haven't done a reporting on it so i don't know firsthand i know secondhand i've been told by people in america because you ask about it is that is that most likely the most likely they they were known to have been talking to the six and five relevant six or five people that i am i five or six people about what they knew about russian corruption in and you're not in russia again you know the activities and so the only you from there you can draw your own conclusions about who wanted to hurt him so i thank you for the show his book report your memoir is out now that's after the show will

lawyers for a russian company that allegedly interfered in the u.s. presidential election in twenty sixteen may be blocked from seeing evidence in the case against it perhaps if u.s. special counsel robert muller gets his way he's asked a federal judge to impose limits on information that can be shared now miller says the documents contain sensitive information on investigative methods and sources prosecutors also claim that the data could be used by russian intelligence services to impede further investigations the executive director of the ron paul peace institute told us that he thinks will is trying to save simply a fabricated case. mauler is scrambling to try to avoid giving evidence which may not exist the whole nature of the indictment itself was full of holes it made no sense and now that he's being told to put up or shut up he's panicking inciting national security inciting you know the hysteria that's already been created it's an example of him being caught in a p.r. stunt not expecting anyone anyone on the russian side to answer the claims

might russians very very beautiful untasted. when i first came to sochi i said oh it's by the city the infrastructure is great and everything's very clean i expect a great atmosphere. here a very. it's very beautiful i was surprised by the place the culture and everything . also got its own top flight squad following all the twenty eighteen world cup of events here is the latest from. i didn't know what it means to. be. the world cup to all beautiful studio here right in the heart of moscow let me use my coach for our coverage of the championship over the next month peter schmeichel the great they have very very safe pair of pants and a fantastic present have got to say you are safer hands in the studio as well as a few dusty for them and i just want to say there are two things i think that you're going to benefit from by changing into aussie during this challenging warm we're going to bring you the expert punditry inside people inside the game play is just take the sale of jersey bring young people who will know the things that

quarter past the hour here in the russian capital the kremlin and the white house have agreed on the first official summit between donald trump hooten and the date of the meeting at the location not yet revealed but it is known that a third country will be the host of the summit was announced during the u.s. national security adviser john bolton's visit to moscow i might add has details. this summit is indeed happening what have led to me a putin say aides also said that it was organized before john bolton's visit to moscow but we learned we had a few details as to why or how this summit was organized john bolton said that don't trump ease for mending relations with russia despite criticism both at home at the broad the fact is that it's important for the leaders of these two countries to meet there are a wide range of issues despite the differences between a square those president trump and president couldn't think they may be able to find constructive solutions i'd like to hear someone say that's a bad idea which you know it's important that it's john bolton saying those words beca

russian national coach mr chick. as of who was criticized before for not having a coherent strategy do you as a coach do you see what he's trying to do with this team and do you agree with his mission. i think first of all he has the right to bring the right to the players to play for the nations and on this is the most successful. story in a sports when you understand that's what's in the front of your chest more important more than your work your name can be a successful team and i think it's it was work in the last couple of years to bring this bright for the players to present the nation and of course it was an easy easy job you have to look around have to find these young kids. in their favor to me and many of france and i will suddenly. become the. national football team respond respond to it well and this is the coaching job i think it's to give them my. support when they needed to give him push when they needed them in the final they did it with like a team now you mentioned that the most important thing is t

but he's denied that russians sought to influence his leave dot edu after and them campaign the russian embassy also denies trying to influence the vote. the russian embassy has not in any we intervened in domestic u.k. political terms has including the bracks and referendum meeting stakeholders representing all political spectrum of the host country is natural element of the work of any embassy. there british governments fake news inquiry under pressure to justify its existence may not see it that way when you see the headline you imagine that mr banks has been in moscow again and again and again he went to moscow once there's been three meetings when you actually read the details story he is a very successful businessman some people say he's a move to multimillionaire i'm sure you read lots of people i mean is famously pictured outside the less the escalator to donald trump's apartment with knowledge of for aaj he has many contacts this is another story where they're trying to bash russia and bashing the democratic decision of seventeen point four million people who voted for brics it

of course it turns out he's russian, not of russian descent. "the washington post" is talking about him having a thick russian accent. why at the time did this not trigger anything in your mind? someone with a trick russian accent calling, offering dirt on hillary clinton for money? that would be illegal. nothing triggered a red flag that you would have remembered it when you testified in front of the house? >> the timing of when the informant contacted me, it was in may when nobody was talking about russia as well. if i had been contacted by a french canadian, i would have still bounced him over to roger stone. our antenna weren't up for russia contacts at all in, in the media, in the hillary clinton campaign or in the trump campaign. >> were you open to then somebody from any place, friend or foe, providing information for money? that was on the able, you were open to it? i don't understand any other way to interpret this. >> this gentleman presented himself as an individual, not a person from the government of russia. and then if you read "t

activities of russian soldiers in countries like syria and ukraine. being of. but he lives in exile in kiev he went underground because he was investigating the kremlin on the net. in the stone column of russian tanks like venus was spotted in the donbass region as early as july. with the great. like many open source researchers curial publishes his investigative work on the felling cat blog a network that became famous for tracking this military convoy. killing cats proved that just two days before the downing of passenger flight m h seventeen it had headed to the suspected launch site with a russian v u k three thirty two mobile missile system. and you could say that my hobby computer games has prepared me for this it was during investigations the process is very similar you put the pieces of the puzzle together at the gerrish that all the details might want. general picture and then you walk from that. you know in here. everything feels different as have the help and have it. has a lot of but. a lot of if you have it over and over when russia becam

papadopoulos is told by a russian agent in april of 2016 the russians have dirt on hillary clinton in the form of thousands of e-mails. >> prior to any of it being public. >> the public has no idea about this. >> that's what's so significant about that disclosure. >> yeah, absolutely. that's in april. adam schiff, representative adam schiff on your show says if you look at his memo from the house intelligence committee it had a new revelation which is that papadopoulos was also -- the russians previewed for papadopoulos their plan to disseminate the e-mails. that's a further step. >> and that papadopoulos copies manafort on e-mails riltded to these exchanges. >> one of which is titled something like russia wants to meet putin. sorry, russia wants to meet trump. after that, after the being told of the e-mails and manafort sends this e-mail to rick gates that says we shouldn't let dt do this, somebody low level to do it so as to send no signal. >> okay, that's a pretty good case. that is what is hanging over paul manafort. public record langing over paul manafort and his decision making

seven summit that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there on the second day of the summit truck made a few comments in regards to russia saying it used to be the g. eight before russia was kicked out and he also called for russia to be reinstated saying that they should be at the table so that they can solve the world's problems together naturally some leaders were opposed to this including mccrone and merkel but first some background crimea joined russia after.

the russians and chinese were not. and in many countries in this region, i think you see the russians and chinese have gained political economic yardage. in the past when the united states has often been harder on our allies, like hungary for poland than we are on russia in periods like the reset, i think that's been a mistake and created vacuums that others have filled, so going forward we have to strike a balance. be clear on principles and what we stand for, and we'll never stop, but i think we have to balance that with increased diplomatic engagement. the chinese and russians are there regularly and spending a lot of money. if we show up occasionally and do nothing but criticize we can lose ground. >> thank you. senator murphy? >> thank you very much mr. chairman. this is no secret that i think our strategy with respect to europe is just a total debacle, and it's not your fault. i understand you don't share the views of this president with respect to the attack he's launched on europe or some of the policies he may

pro-russian propaganda, to advance the russian government's view of policy and to inject themselves into politics, that's precisely what they were doing during the 2016 campaign. and it shows an element of sophistication, an element of capability, an element of expertise by paul manafort with this russian government official in doing exactly that. and there's a possibility that's exactly what they were doing during the 2016 election. >> so, jill wine-banks, put another way, there's a chance that this paul manafort, american citizen, was working against the home team during a presidential campaign. a couple questions for you. how was the screw further turned on manafort today, and what are your remaining questions about this case? >> i have very few remaining questions. it's just a question of how soon he's going to end up in jail because these are serious charges and are very valid grounds for revoking his bail and putting him in jail. and, remember, this is not the first time that he has violated his conditions of being free. he wrote an op-ed that he wasn't supposed to have writte

you won't find any of that russian mean an athlete. affiliation or it may mean a national affiliation so most of the different nationalities who will love to have in this city would also identify as russian i wonder if you given that you get so much maybe multiculturalism is not such a bad thing after all no because i don't buy your definition of multiculturalism at all and just because you have one most with five thousand people able to fit into it that does not in any way replicate the europe that are you know i've just come from belgium mozambique in fact the jihadi capital of europe where they have twenty two mosques in a six kilometer square do you have miles or kilometers here kilometers yeah. coloma to square the area twenty two mobs so it's very different for me where i live in terms of multiculturalism which is much more about monocultures who live in ghettos and it's a very different definition to the one that you might understand i actually want to discuss that but before we do that many of the three that you have posted hav

talking to russians. the same campaign the russians hacked and attempted to sabotage. the latest additions to the list are roger stone, infamous dirty trickster, long-time trump confidant, and michael caputo, a trump campaign communications official. they acknowledged to the "washington post" that back in may 2016 stone met with a russian man who offered damaging information about hillary clinton. roger stone we should note does not have a sterling reputation when it comes to the truth. told the "washington post" that the man wanted trump to pay $2 million for the political dirt, an offer stone says he turned down. joining me now, one of the people who broke that story, "washington post" political investigations and enterprise reporter rosalind helderman. also msnbc contributor natasha bertrand, staffer at "the atlantic" and one of the best reporters on the trump russia beat. so rosalind, neither of these men have raised this before or talked about this meeting with congressional investigators even under oath, right? >> that's right. we're told that neither of them men

russians love football and that is what we call love at first sight. from the very first official match which was held in russia back in a ninety seven. we have been responsibly preparing to welcome going to international football. and we have done our best for leeds and experts to enjoy in full this splendid football festival. and of course enjoy their stay in russia and nope a new hospitable. friendly country. meet new friends and people who share the same values as they do it's fair to say that we are. devoted fans of footballers are in billions there are billions of us on this planet and wherever we leave what ever traditions we follow football and love towards football is what brings us together in a single team one team united by their love for this spectacular vibrant on the compromising game all members of their team. understand it well and have profound understanding of each other they say unity defies differences in language ideology or faith and this represents the great power of football and sports as a whole the power of its lasting. human

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 drop and you said it showed the perils of negotiating with today's russia. today, after the meeting with then, one told us that interference did, briefly and that the russian side to denied ever having interfered or interfering in use the mystic politics. i'm wondering -- 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. thanks. >> [speaking foreign language] >> i appreciate all this research into my prior writings. >> [speaking foreign language] [laughter] >> and, as i've said many times in washington, i'm now happy to say this in moscow, i don't address what i've written the past or what i said on television. it is all out there. 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 interfere

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
