campaign going on there marianna here in russia because. russia seems to be pushing for international cooperation on syrian refugees returning now they say that the war is basically over the so-called islamic state has been basically defeated that's a line that we hear in russia again and again and it would be a big diplomatic win for russia if they could be playing a key part in having those refugees returned they have been holding press briefings here in the ministry of defense nearly every week for the last month or so they've set up a refugee center and they also have made a proposal to the u.s. to to draw up a joint action plan on the return of refugees so perhaps. putin will make some sort of proposal to america today when it comes to that as well particularly taking into consideration as well that that has been a difficult issue for america all at home as well refugee paul policy refugee policy has really come under a lot of criticism at home including from her political allies so perhaps putin sees a bargaining chip there that he ca

russia russia when it comes to almost anything these days. even if it's if someone doesn't like their food at a restaurant it's russians fault that russian meddling was responsible for last year's riots in charlottesville where do you think he got that idea. well he says he got it from an f.b.i. briefing which was not classified now look if he has information if the f b i has information i'd love to hear it so what erica but it seems kind of bizarre to me that a congressman who says he's not running for reelection because he's having personal problems all of a sudden with a couple of months left in his term takes the opportunity on c.n.n. which will do anything to bash trump and to accused russia of anything like use even the food in a restaurant he knows something that nobody has ever heard of until this point that that was russia's fault last year well then let's the where is the information if it's not classified tell us everything you found out so i don't i don't believe that this information let's see it but until i see it i'm not going

most of the messaging i have seen on television is about russia insanity. meanwhile, you have got donald trump pretty much every day talking about jobs, jobs, jobs, and we got the 4.1% gdp coming in. it is just not looking good for you guys. thanks. guest: well, look. i think trump has been able to take advantage of the growing economy that obama built for him. i personally do not think it will last very long because his policies are so focused toward the super rich that it is drying up money for everyone else. if you look at the structure of the economy for working people, their wages are still not going up. there are lots of jobs, but people have to work two or three jobs to keep their family together, to make a living. i do not think working people are very excited about trump. we -- trump. i think we are seeing in districts like pennsylvania, the heavily republican district for -- where danny o'connor has a very good chance of winning, we are seeing that working people are rebelling against the economy and its focus on the super rich. host: what happens

they reached a determination that russia was to blame. they didn't say any specific but they said russia was to blame. that triggered the necessity of this act. ultimately for a whole range of potentially very harsh measures. this is a very limited and technical first round of sanctions which basically which couldorts have national security usages or implications. that there are already sanctions in place along these lines preventing the export of technology that could be used for military purposes. during theimposed barack obama administration. these are limited in nature. russia has not had a massive response yet. there are more serious possible sanctions pending. airlineussia's national -- are these in anticipation of what the newer sanctions could bring? the first round has been imposed it gives russia 90 days to respond. it means that it has to tatake measures to show that it is not using chemical or biological weapons or preparing to do so in any way. it also o requires international monitors to be allowed in to ensure that russia i

by russia is that it again merits the claim in a new article in the u.s. magazine the atlantic because it says that the kremlin has set its sights firmly on meddling in the upcoming midterm elections the russian government has one overriding objective with regards to the united states to weaken america so that it loses its will and ability to counter russian objectives while the article goes on to explain russia's three step plan to break american democracy is pretty straightforward firstly take russian hackers and get them to interfere secondly by corrupt us politicians and then thirdly support those who think favorably of putin the atlantic believes this very channel to help undermine democracy by inviting on guests who dare to be different they name brand as an example he's the founder of a movement encouraging democrats to walk away from their party but it does appear it has forgotten we are the only ones he talks to. well i i myself was a lifelong liberal democratic voter i would say kind of a democrat by default because i'm a gay man and i think that

is an actual news story this week yeah you can take plenty of the earlier reports replace the word russia with iran and get pretty much identical stuff all right speaking of facebook this time it banned six hundred twenty five pages traced to iran and an unknown number of pages linked to russia it just wouldn't work if russia didn't get mentioned and the reason for this verdict is we removed multiple pages groups and accounts for coordinated inauthentic behavior on facebook and instagram what kind of sin is this in authentic behavior let's hear from zuck speak will they use similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they were doing we ban this kind of behavior because we want people to be able to trust the connections they make on facebook. the issue of trusting what pops out at you from the internet it's almost as old as i am asking or where we should meet. it seems like you're chatting with somebody just like yourself not only even if they show a picture of themselves it may not really be who they say they are it could be somebody dan

russia is one of the countries that most buy capacity and all the very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no luck a situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and say wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's our ad said that book made a loss to live well the long run. on this edition of crossfire we consider one question is donald trump's america first policy in contradiction to the washington consensus idea of american exceptionalism the answer this question will likely define trump's presidency and change the the world. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to be friends with. that's a right to be for us this is what the forecast three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. qu

gas lots of questions about them how difficult was it for you to adjust to your life and not just in russia but then. you know in provincial russia which has its own challenges the first six months were really kind of hard in part because i was alone in the dormitory once i got a cat and start making making friends and i had people to meet for to go visit their home on myself but i you know. it was fine. in many ways is not that much different from my hometown they came from a little town where there were more cows than people. and i sort of like the slower pace of life. the relationship between russia and the united states because from mediocre to bad to worse i think you know over the last. five or six years have you noticed any difference in how people relate to you how they treat you no not really i think russians are pretty good at delineating the actions of a government and the actions of citizens. every now and then for example in victory day when we talk about who won the war i can't some push back you know they asked me did america say we won the war of course we said we won the wa

or countries and companies the deal with russia. but being tough on russia is not popular in america and us a coating to a recent gallup poll indicates that fifty eight percent of americans think it's more important to improve relations with russia rather than be tough with moscow something that's backed by just over a third of those august so we asked people in the u.s. capitol whether sanctions are the best approach. no you don't really believe anything anymore i am led to believe that these tell you one thing that you have another reason for playing and i want everybody to get along you know i think unity is the way to go peace we need a better relationship with everybody i'm in favor of russian police would be really difficult right now in a situation now where and when. you know the current president i mean it's nice to get along but you can't trust russia they always been under another me so they get what they deserve i think. they have to be and putting. senses into other countries that were allied with the. period to be rela

she accepted the flowers but she didn't ease the sanctions over ukraine at their last meeting in russia the fact that uncle of makola vladimir putin are meeting for the second time in only three months shows a new interest to explore common ground despite fundamental differences some of that may lie in syria despite russia's role as president assad's ally. russia wants to have first a solution with us so that germany and the european union accepts that there will be a post war syria with assad and then moscow and syria also need some money money is also an important issue in balance plan to build a joint gas pipeline with russia critics say it threatens regional stability especially in ukraine. both have an interest of the pipeline will be built and we also know that mr trump already u.s. government with the next wave of saying sions also talk of north stream to merkel will be pushing from prosser to guarantee a future role for ukraine and transferring gas to europe u.s. president donald trump's volatile foreign policy has also piled up some new strategic interests between moscow and be

say it gives a number of reasons it reports that the sources have gone silence to to pressure from russia security sampras's the expulsion of u.s. intelligence officers from moscow was all say is said to have played a role as has the outing of an f.b.i. informant back in may he writes lawyer down cover leg believes however that there are a far greater challenges facing american democracy and suspected russian meddling here we have no evidence that russia is trying to interfere in the midterm elections do you thousand and eighteen and yet they take the some of the new york callum's takes the absence of evidence as evidence you know but that but that seems par for the course for the scandal and i would say that people probably have a right not to believe in the us electoral system but not because of russian alleged russian interference book because frankly you have a system that is skewed by moneyed interests by mass just and franchise middle of people particularly african-americans. you have a lot of gerrymandering which benefits one party over another usually the republicans those are thi

petersburg russia. the individuals on that section were putting out the same until 72 hours before conflict and then it turned into an assassination and said come watch me kill this person at the state at this time but i didn't put it out in the regular of it out in southern california groups of america and they were burying others to come watch the spectacle that wouldn't have been that they were trying to harness the shouts and violence of people who were not there. this is the threat of disinformation warfare and how we have seen complete wedges between whole sections of american society and these propaganda is from another country recognized they would be detected, but the speed of the internet and the amount they can put out whether it is a cop shooting a black kid and they take the side of african-americans and put out 10,000 tweets or facebook pages saying this is wrong we should attack policemen. we've seen that. this is how they briefly use america's freedom of speech in our information systems

they view us very different than russia. they have a zero sum game. they are more interested and use a more positive approach us of some of the information they put out is saying how great the government is a. it's different misinformation about promotions with different. my suspicion is they use it more to suppress political dissidents rather than to rally their own and if they do go overseas is going to be more in southeast asia so they might try to run a plan. i don't know what their interests are in the united states per se or if they have the skills to do it. >> i'm going to ask one more question and then a couple questions from the floor. there are a lot of people in the room who are technologists. we have folks who are audio engineers and who know how to make these. what should these people be working on to prepare for the future and what should they prioritize? how do you ensure authenticity and protect unanimity? for someone who is being oppressed or pushed in one direction to be able to have a placplace in the place to speakt is what we beli

russia gate is the coin of the realm here if you have a story no matter how false you're out with it before anybody pays any attention to the sourcing but c.n.n. they have not even retracted the story even though. sister or brother outlets and cable channels have their right in doing so if they care about the truth i mean there's a slight possibility that c.n.n. had a different story but you have let me davis you have michael cohen so you know no no we we didn't we have no information we have new information that president true of knew about this trump tower meeting we don't have that so unless it's very unlikely unless there's some other source that c.n.n. had they are being what's the word unprofessional being unconscionable healing to this ally i don't think they have another source i would suggest that if they do have another source that to defend what's left of their reputation they need to serve up some information about this source but have as i say they have no imperative to do that because i'm not c.n.n. on and miss n.b.c. and the cable and also the other outlets this story

now is russia get slapped with sanctions it's very likely that we'll see russia respond with to for tat measures with scandal raging around the guilt of some of his former associates president trump has hit back in an interview with fox news warning that any move towards his impeachment would mean the u.s. economy taking a substantial hit i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's not a great job if i ever got a ph i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor now of course legal fees equal big costs and double terms former lawyer michael cohen who implicated the us leader and breaking campaign finance law in two thousand and sixteen has asked for donations to cover his defense and it's paying off as well he's raised over one hundred fifty thousand dollars in two days and reports it's not always bad business to be dismissed by the president and donald trump was a host on the reality t.v. show the apprentice he really took the show's iconic catchphrase to heart you're fired you're fired you're fired. now that donald trump is the president getting fired by him i

by seventy percent he said that seventy percent of energy supplies comes from russia to germany that is a lie that is not true the german government has said it's twenty three percent but yes of course russia is trying to more influence and also to get around those sanctions that have hurt the russian economy really badly and of course they know that energy is one of the main areas where they really can deliver goods to europe and where the europeans are the pendant on them so of course this is something where putin will try and find a solution with uncle american anglo-american of course will try and exact pressure on coups and to get him to really guarantee that ukraine will ultimately not lose out because that would of course risk the stability in the region all right he doesn't have political correspondent and he now has that and we've got emily sure when a correspondent in moscow thomas sparrow reporting from the merkel putin bilateral meeting and man's a bird north of berlin thank you very much to all three of you. now moving on to some other news and officials in carola are pl

russia today. all of this goes back to the the question of, well, how did we get to an axis of autocracies. 9 putin understood that russia, again, could not operate alone, and he did not approve and appreciate democracy. so how do you become a competitor where you are allies around the world, particularly in the west, who will see it your way? and it's simple. you use these information and warfare systems and techniques and methodologies to allow western democracies who are now the bugaboo, right? of us a accurates and dictators the worldwide -- of autocrats and dictators worldwide to vote themselves out of democracy. you do that by using freedom of the press as a weapons system. you use free expression and public, you know, and public right to redress as its own internal cruise missile. and the way that you do that is you feed them information. information that they think is true. it may, in fact, be true but delivered to you in such a sequence that it'll turn the truth on its head. and you put th

to that list throw in russia things get heated i'm simply shocked shocked shocked that r.t. has also been pushing a story line similar to tucker carlson's about threats facing white south african farmers including this family they claim sought refuge in russia. thanks for pointing out i did know that threats to south african farmers was a major story on r.t. there must surely be a link here of fox news reports trump's twitter feed r t there's a clear pattern if of course we ignore the fact this shuttle has covered related issues in south africa for quite some time the south african parliament has voted in favor of new legislation that could see land from white farmers seized because government has vowed to tackle violent crime a problem that it says there's an equal threat for all races living in the country just outside south africa's capital stands the statue of the man who was behind the policies of apartheid it's a whites only enclave which allowed black visitors only under special permit but the discrimination of the apartheid in south africa has long come turn and all

russia, but collusion isn't illegal. that's their new sort of arg . argume argument. next week their argument will be, this might have happened but it's not a big deal and it will be fine. >> as we look at this back and forth, one of the questions has been here, betsy, what is the mood in the white house, and a "vanity fair" article had put some ideas behind that, that the president is going back to his old favorites, steve bannon as well as hope hicks. and there was this formation, this idea that based on his discomfort, his stress right now, that he might be going back to get some ideas of what's happening. so one has to take a step back and go, as we move into the midterms, where is the sensibility, where is that comfort in the presidency right now? >> there hasn't been reporting from any other outlets i've seen that the president is going back to see steve bannon. it's possible that's true but not something widely reported. the president is dealing with a significant amount of angst as a result of the mueller investi

so, we could see the russia message and the russia theme seeping in at the edges. but what everybody was on edge for today and what everybody was looking for was the interaction between these two men. gates was sort of a protege of manafort. gates worked for him for a decade, had known him in a more distant way for almost 30 years. and, you know, gates tried to keep a lid on any of those tensions today, as you say, when he came in the courtroom, he made a point of not looking at manafort. he looked at the jury and then he began responding to the prosecutor's questions, always turning back to the jury as he answered those questions. but there were points at which he did look towards the defense table. you have to remember, the way the courtroom is set up, the prosecutor is only one human away from manafort. manafort's lead lawyer today, kevin downing, was sitting between manafort and the prosecutor asking questions. so, manafort had to be there in gates' peripheral vision. >> take us through some of the emotions that went through this room. was gates -- and did the
