russia's takeover of crimea was pure and it's a sion but i'm sure you know that for many in russia it wasn't just the land grap it was to some extent. the only means of avoiding a major strategic loss it was either a gain of a territory or a loss of a major strategic capacity of the status quo by that time was no longer an option do you think the western decision making makers at the time and distant the kind of conundrum that russia and the kremlin faced and that to some extent i would argue that western decision makers pushed on russia well i think your your question presupposes what the new provisional ukrainian government was going to do when they die is there anywhere very away there as well there are there were statements they they weren't necessarily official statements decisions and not been taken look i understand the fears that some in russia had after the events of february of two thousand and fourteen but understanding does not mean agreement or approval and the consequences of it for what many western leaders or leaders of other countries in europe central. east and west

national security as a drum paulton says russia and the u.s. need to hold strategic talks about china missiles which pose a potential threat to russia as well that's what is that that's how he put it do you think maybe washington is seeking to pick moscow and beijing against each other . well you will remember or i i don't want to make you older than you are you you won't remember but you've read about it that during the nixon year or as the idea was to play the so-called china card against the soviet union to china toward washington and away from moscow in the rest there is no china card any longer the old kissinger idea that you could play off china against russia is gone russia and china are becoming perhaps historic allies economically politically militarily strategically this has happened due to a lot of factors however you're right i mean china now has to be included in any new nuclear arms arrangements that involve these regional intermediaries and immediately misses my own feeling is that the struggle over china policy in washington is

not that nato wants to fight russia or russia wants to fight nato? that is the high-end greater than peer competitor that russia i think is most worried about. so the question is has syria made them better at that war? i think that's, that's a legitimate question. the answer may be it's, the answer may be probably not. it's made them better at doing, as michael said concurrent air and ground operations but not really joint operations and even those operations don't involve any sort of high-speed maneuver forces on the ground. so it's a great question. >> one point you made is the ew, the electronic warfare piece and the russian ability to use that theater to perfect that, to you know keep tabs on us is also a piece of that equation, too. >> the conversation with us on long-range stand-off conventional weapons, which su know for a very long time, russian journal snapped the long-running dialogue. cruise missiles defacto have strategic effects, the united states has tremendous advantage. russia doesn't have anything remotely to parity. syria is where t

has accused russia. of ukraine's sovereignty. of course you can get all the latest news information. we have more news that. will be with you then thanks for watching. nico is in germany to learn german. polish benito why not learn with him online on the mobile and free to suffer from the w e learning course nicko speak.

and it's not just the quick case of all russia made a kind of a mistake russia is seeing ukraine slip away and russian leaders are angry they don't know what to do about it well let's put that straight back to glenn glenn is russia trying to undermine petro poroshenko ahead of ukraine's presidential election. no shank was already polling quite poorly i think the people who'd vote for him now is in the single digits so he's far from the favorite and if anything i think this crisis would help him to rise up the polls even possibly now establishing martial law. setting it to favor himself or at least to boost his own popularity indure things so i see this as being favoring his presidency rather than undermining it by showing him that he's able to stand up against russia and also getting the support of the americans and the british i would point out however that it's not really clear what has happened so far. all we know is that. the laws which are supposed to determine who who can control this water says of course linked to the sovereignty of crimea now given that russia considers crimea

relations with russia. the president keeps insisting that mueller's new bombshell had nothing to do with his decision to scrap a one-on-one meeting withvladimmir putin. first, let gee's go straight to major earthquake on alaska. what's the latest? >> reporter: the anchorage police department has warned of major infrastructure damage. they have teaming out right now assessing the damage. so far we have seen minor damage to hospitals and schools. those after shocks just keep on coming. the terrifying moments the massive 7.0 earthquake rocked anchorage. women on the sixth floor of this courthouse ducking under desks and the building rocked for what was 90 seconds. >> oh, my god. >> it's okay. >> reporter: the quake forcefully shaking the airport before the lights go out. trying to run out of terminals, alerting inbound flights not to land. >> there was an earthquake here. >> reporter: on the ground outside the airport this row collapsed leaving a vehicle stranded in middle and there's reports of sink hole down

us he forgets to mention why russia is at the borders of the european union it's not because russia expend it is because nato and the european union expend that not paying any attention to any concerns that russia might might graze about it only mention russia did he also wanted to you know this is a series of russia china and we all are fearing the imminent chinese invasion of europe on the other side of the world. although i know i am right you know trying to use troops or about the disembark normandy i pretty sure but he also mentioned the united states and even the united states he said that talking about the need to defend against now this talk is simply trying to put on warhawk credentials come on france can't even pay two percent of its g.d.p. according to nato strictures and he's talking up a european union army like the sun came here i think and what i want to talk about also the reports that mcchrystal did not want putin interim glenn jumping. also said this is not a new idea though it's actually here i'll share with you here the national interest last week wrote an articl

no loans from russia. vy i don't have any deals in russia. i have nothing to do with russia. i have no investments in russia. none whatsoever. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. >> well, cohen's plea deal today shows those statements were false. let me go to congressman joaquin castro, sir, you're on the intelligence committee. what does this tell you about trump's believability, what's it tell you about his legal culpability and his impeachability? >> oh, all great questions. well, the first thing is i think the prosecution of michael cohen for lying to congress i think is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to prosecutions for lying to congress by the witnesses who went in front of the house and the senate. there are other folks like roger stone and donald trump junior, i think, who should be concerned about possibly facing prosecutions as well. the other thing is based on the buzzfeed reporting about the fact that vladimir putin may have been offered a $50 million condo in

russia's most vulnerable of victims of. serious on the country suffering one of the world's worst epidemics takes to an orphanage in the fuel mountainous region that children infected with the virus live with children of a negative. time for girl welcome to the program russia's president a potent has accused ukraine of committing an act of premeditated provocation in the naval confrontation off crimea tensions between moscow and kiev escalated after russia seized the three ukrainian vessels on sunday at least a dozen ukrainian sailors have been detained pending trial and ukraine's president poroshenko has declared martial law in parts of the country and one that russia is preparing for war. this. is what life is become for many living around mario paul it's the closest ukrainian city to telnet scandal both of which are now controlled by russian backed separatists since sunday's naval clash with russia ukraine has begun to impose martial law in the border regions. so you're the country's president petro poroshenko has warned

in russia today. this is v.w. news live from berlin tonight an emergency un security council meeting on russia and ukraine the u.s. accusing russia of an outrageous violation of ukrainian sovereignty if it was russia's seizing of three ukrainian ships off the disputed crimean peninsula ukraine's president says it's a new phase of aggression and has called on parliament to impose martial law in ukraine also coming up tonight british prime minister theresa may intensifies her campaign to get a hostile parliament and a divided nation to support her breaks a deal with the european union lawmakers are due to vote on her plan on december eleventh and the spacecraft inside will reach mars in just a couple of hours scientists hoping to dig beneath the planet's surface to find out how it was formed billions of years ago. i broke off it's good to have you with us we start at that emergency session of the u.n. security council the u.s. ambassador to the you win has accused russia of committing an outrageous violation of ukra

russia says it plans to deploy s. four hundred surface to air missiles into the crimean peninsula it is the latest escalation in a fresh confrontation between moscow and kiev ten regions in ukraine are now under martial law for the next thirty days after russian vessels opened fire in the black sea and seize several ukrainian naval boats and service personnel under simmons has the latest now from kiev yeah really. russia says this is one of many confessions by ukrainian sailors about how the navy illegally entered its territorial waters despite warnings there's outrage in ukraine its foreign minister says these men are obviously talking under duress as he puts it under the rules of russia's f.s.b. security service but they're prisoners of war covered by the geneva convention and should have access to the international red cross most of the servicemen and up here in simferopol before a court that gave out detention orders for two months while cases are investigated . internationally the pressure on russia appeared to h

russia russia russia created and took off with the momentum that in three half years or whatever we are still pursuing this and it's fascinating it is a fixation n o c d. proliferation this dispersed several ration over this but this first and today i find almost comical it's not false it's true but they don't spread enough of the positive truth as well so it's one of the most the better of the new ones critiques so here's my question when you hear a former senior government official describing r t as truthful which flies in the face of everything that we've heard coming from the us except from that famous quote from hillary clinton when she said that we're basically doing a good job or a better job than they were. does this suggest that there is a shift in attitudes towards this network or is this an outlying opinion or is this meant to stoke the fires i mean what do you see happening here. oh absolutely i see to great question i see can juggle palpable tetherball real documentable change in the ferocity of the attacks look we hear right now we're going through the last throes of w

russia today has a weekly program called america's lawyer. the relenting theme of which to quote one of the openings is america's justice system is corrupt and broken i don't think there's anything in there that is a law i but it is i'm relenting only one sided view if you knew how to look at the other side you would see that russia at least is weighing in on both sides they're not on your side they're not on the other side they're on their own side it is too weak. suzanne spaulding made those remarks during a national security forum in washington d.c. her views are very different to the usual accusations from u.s. politicians and the western media that r.t. is a source of false information. russian government also created and spread fake news and conspiracies across the vast social media landscape fake news that's being spread by russia fake means has dominated the true had lines fake news spread by russia and of course or t.v. which is heavily supported by funded by the russian the russian government fake news fake news kremlin spread misle

but with russia's deputy u.n. and for it to me. he says the west's response will only encourage ukraine father. i fear that after the western countries that have particular influence on the ukraine really displayed surf session of attitude the ukrainian side might feel a little bit emboldened to engage in further provocations of this type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting and he reproaches from from western that they did something wrong those who are it seems to me that the issues are simply clear it is directly linked to the prospect of elections in ukraine it is directly linked to the falling ratings of president poroshenko so it was very strange that the security council colleagues actually awarded polling calling these things by their real value. after months of worry most china say on p.c. or oil corporations were placing french totality and iran's multi-billion dollar southpark gas project and move might come as a surprise to them as daniel bushell explains. self pars is the angelina jolie of gas

russia claims ukraine is playing the anti russia card to boost its image that as the kremlin is once again accused of aggression during two emergency sessions of the un security council following sunday's clash at sea. united states will continue to stand with the people of ukraine against the russian aggression russia wants to consolidate its illegal an exception of crimea and i mix the see. how do you hold on to power the necessary next portion of the anti russian drug sure that people in the country believe that the troubles but you to russia. she is not going to get a majority we have no idea where this is heading that is prime minister treason may faces a hostile parliament brigs it plans as she tries to win over and convince them that the. russian military experts say toxic substances were used in an assault on aleppo in syria on saturday and look why the world's media has largely ignored the chemical attack. good evening thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the u.n. security council is held to emergency sessions over the clash between russia and ukraine after russ

a case that sets a precedent in russia you. know one thing here the where this is definitely a victory. we've been fighting for so long for it to be seen as discrimination i'm so happy. but the court decision is only a victory on paper soon sweater will find out she didn't really win anything it was good. in summer a general is looking forward to meeting anton who is also a tattoo and sponsor he lets january use his studio transformation project marches on. the first woman to arrive the speaker the thirty nine year old feels ashamed at work of the big scar on her hand. reka doesn't like being reminded how she got the scar. the most who moved my husband didn't do so i wanted to leave him alone then he locked me up key humiliated me and cut me everywhere so that i belong to nobody else but him but he cut me wherever he could on my face my hand was my body. do you feel. the bandage hand until she was able to escape. doctors told her later that she had almost lost her hand. now a flower is blossoming over the scar. on the now when

should change its policy and if russia would change its policies so we're ready to do with russia but i would like just to remind that russia's syrian state and we have our own national priority is to maintain the policy has and stop assassinating british hits citizens with chemical weapons well this is this is absolutely not true because first the war nobody presented any evidence and it's not supported by any facts so from my point of it's simply a lie and we don't accept it and the british government is not really. to cooperate with us i ask so many questions. the letters were sent to the foreign office around seventy seven zero seventy notes and we didn't get any replies so basically for us it's a quest uprising we don't have anything except the leaks in the press so from my point of view to make a statement political statements on the basis of the leaks or the information which going to be supported by the government i think is a very responsible approach which is damaging the relations we now have a leak from anonymous the integrity of the initiative showing the u.k. government

and russia says it is planning to deploy more s. four hundred surface to air missiles the crimean peninsula ten regions in ukraine are under martial law for the next few days after russia. and seize ukrainian naval boats in the black sea. i'm just taking you back to now you can see mom had been. french just disembarking from his plane which landed a few moments ago on the tarmac of the cuff from argentina. for the g. twenty meeting of global leaders which starts on the. it's all part of my first tour abroad since the murder of the journalist. just around about two months ago now even friendly countries the us the middle east but also then to june of zero where he met some protests human rights in order to meet in sting summit for him here in argentina potentially awkward photo opportunities for him as the global condemnation over the murder of jamal khashoggi just about two months ago. the saudi consulate in istanbul. continuously denied involvement we know that u.s. president donald trump took his presence. are planning to meet on

-- their ties to russia? >> reporter: rudolph giuliani told me there's no contradiction between the president's responses to mueller on the question of the trump tower moscow n moscow and what we have learned from cohen. we've also learned tonight, wolf, that the justice department notified the trump legal team on wednesday night about michael cohen's planned plea. the source did not say when the president was informed, but we should note that justice policies ad loued the department to notify -- allowed the department to notify the department regarding significant legal matters. i guess this qualified as that. >> very significant, indeed. thank you very much. >>> the new bombshell from michael cohen and robert mueller is hanging over the president now as he heads to argentina for the summit tonight. mr. trump is firing back at cohen. he's also canceling, canceling a planned meeting with vladimir putin. our chief white house correspondent jim acosta is joining us from buenos aires. the president lands where y

to contain russia in. aggressive moves what i mean is first of all sanctions against russian military in crimea because what happened yesterday and continue to happen today is the result of russian. russian claims that the ukrainian bustles crossed their stated border but actually there are no russians border these are all are ukrainian territorial waters so is just being a continuation their recent crisis is the continuation or what is happening to some sense that. i mentioned to know what you think as well about this idea of martial law president poroshenko says he wants that but there is a lot of talk that it's just it's a sort of cynical political ploy to delay the elections in ukraine. well the same could be their seizure of crimea was just a cynical move to boast the very end of president fourteen but you were speaking about ukraine the martial law. the next words of the president as commander in chief. in order to suppress any russian some version against. freedom of. against. our political and elec

he now says he, quote, agreed to travel to russia and began planning trump's possible travel to russia. cohen also originally said he, quote, did not recall any russian government response or contact about the moscow deal. that has changed. now he says he, quote, did recall that in or around january 2016 he received a response from the office of russian officials one. that would be the secretary for the president of russia, and spoke to a member of that office about the project. >>> with regard to cohen's attempted travel to russia, the filing details communication between cohen and someone named individual two in the court document. prosecutors say that would be felix seder, the long-time business associate of trump's. seder was deeply involved in trying to get this project off the ground and get the kremlin, namely putin's help to do so. the court documents say cohen and seder were in talks about this proposed russia trip from june 9 to june 14 of 2016, when cohen decided not to go. we took a closer look at what was going on just before and after that period. early june was the first

obviously now that crimea is part of russia. russia needs to assert its sovereignty at the same time there is a two thousand and three treaty that still is in effect that allows ukraine to to tramp sit through this very important strait and so to some extent i think perhaps it is possible that the ukrainians were also trying to assert their rights under the treaty but the fact that the united nations jumps to conclusions without examining the facts is not encouraging what at least there is an opportunity for the claims to be presented the ukrainians were perhaps a bit reckless and perhaps. perhaps there was an intention to create a provocation i don't count that out at all we do know that president ford shango. has eighty percent disapproval ratings he is up for reelection in twenty nine teams something must be done to change the narrative if he's to have a chance of reelection and if you look at it this incident changes the narrative and the declaration of martial law which he has proposed would also change the narrative. a day

now this happened in a narrow strait between russia and crimea russia annexed crimea from ukraine four years ago and overnight it walked much of ukraine's navy and its a port city of mariupol in the sea as all now the only access to the black sea is now the russian controlled waters a tender box along the coast mario poll is the only major city in southeastern ukraine still under kiev government control since pro russian separatists seized parts of the east. proof of how volatile this conflict remains less than twenty four hours in emergency session of the un security council was held with nato watching and morning that is no justification for the use of military force against ukraine and ships naval personnel so we call on our show to release immediately their crane in sailors and ships it ceased yesterday i mean cold for call on restraint on stoltenberg speaking just moments after world powers met at the you would in new york the united states calling the russian move nothing but arrogance thunder's outrageous not least of sovereign ukrainian territory is part of a pattern of russian

down the world keeps imposing sanctions on russia and russia keeps say this is ours we don't care. in this case they can say it's our respect cause. of us off there we have to respect also international law and we have the sea board us that's all international rule and if so i think international pressure is needed and look on the. on the economic side of russia look on the economic development russia does not do a real and cannot have real interest at the moment because when you look on the internal situation now in moscow a lot of internal pressure in russia which is perhaps sometimes not seen so that's my point of view because then i say it cannot be in a interest in a deep interest of russia to get more international pressure to get more international sanctions but it is partially these sanctions will be the consequence if russia will not. will continue what they did. well that's also why i'm asking that they have to release also the three caption. better to say the man to say lost. because that's not acceptable let's hope that you are right and that cooler heads prevail thank

interpret russia's intentions go ahead mary. well i think that the declaration of martial law was certainly seen as a quite drastic move which seemed completely out of proportion to the clash the been in the straits of catch. but i think that something quite interesting has happened that may reflect. some of the difficulty is that maybe some of ukraine's western sponsors had with the with the whole concept of declaring martial law so close to an election and this was that when the proposal came before parliament in ukraine as i understand it it's actually been reduced quite significantly so while the initial idea was that the whole of ukraine would be subject to martial law with all the restrictions on freedom of speech freedom of assembly presumably election campaigning and all that. the the provision that is actually passed through parliament is for something rather less than that i think it only goes up to the twenty seventh of december so yet couple of months before the election it's also restricted to the border areas of uk

, of russia's influence. and it was a very emotional reaction when ukraine turned to european union instead of russia and they decided to punish ukraine. >> putin sent in russian soldiers. within a month he had annexed crimea. by the following november russia occupied eastern ukraine. >> he did something that no european leader had done since hitler and mussolini, fracture and divide ukraine. >> he needs to show power. he needs to show that people on his periphery need to be oriented toward russia or they're considered enemies. >> coming up -- >> here news. here comes cyberattacks. it's classic putin. george woke up in pain. but he has plans today. hey dad. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. >>> rather have a puppet as president. >> no puppet. >> it's clear. >> you're the puppet. >> it's clear you won't admit the russians have engaged in cyberattacks. >>

as a whole you see bear you think russia right. the base symbolizes russia it's a fact it's a struggle for the minds part of a hybrid explosion in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror now you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly. and the bear are not coming to invade your homeland masha and the van is hybrid warfare. british empire apologist and who sums up american decadence bits of coffee. my nephews are watching my shoes are very cute they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha in the back is putin is propaganda. i can confirm that i watched two episodes of their when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter bot he speaks russian. facebook supreme with depression from the firm's investors who want to step aside as chairman though their patience is wearing fin with him after a series of scandals over the past year which have plagued the social media behemoths. facebook is behavin

she is saying russia, russia, russia. yoen i don't -- maybe it was. it could be russia. it could also be china. it could be lots of other people. it could also be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay? you don't know who broke into dnc. >> ah, yes, the 400-pound hacker. we know now, we have a good indication then it was russia. and long after the intelligence community had so publicly concluded it was russia, of course, the president kept denying it, kept throwing ink in the water, even siding with vladimir putin, standing shoulder to-shoulder at the helsinki summit. >> was there any contact in any way between trump or his associates and the kremlin or cutouts they had? >> i -- i joined this campaign in the summer, and i can tell you that all the contact by the trump campaign and associates was with the american people. of course not. why would there be any contacts between the campaign? >> why would there be any contacts with anyone but the american people? but there was contact with russia. here's a partial list of trump associates or campaign offi

i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. >> reporter: still, the president maintains he's not worried about what else cohen may share with prosecutors. >> not at all. i'm not worried at all about him. >> reporter: democrats disagree. >> i guess we shouldn't be totally surprised at this. this is one more example of a close ally or an affiliate of donald trump lying about their ties or conversations with russia or russians of. >> reporter: the president left for the g-20 with plans to sit down with russian president vladimir putin, but mr. trump scrap the the meeting after speaking with advisers about russia's recent aggression against ukraine tweeting i've decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting in argentina with president vladimir putin. the tweet came less than an hour after the president indicated that the meeting was still on. >> i think it's a very good time to have the meeting. i'm getting a full r

security council meeting and the question are russia and ukraine headed for the u.s. as u.n. ambassador has accused russia of committing an outrageous violation of ukraine's sovereignty on sunday russia seized several ukrainian naval vessels near the disputed crimean peninsula moscow says that it was provoked by and just about an hour ago the ukrainian parliament voted to impose martial wall inside the country. a clash at sea causing waves of international concern a russian military ship rams into a ukrainian tugboat off the coast of crimea. the vessel was then fired at and captured by the russians along with two other ships and dozens of ukrainian sailors several of whom were injured. the united nations security council held an emergency meeting where western countries accused russia of stoking the already deadly war with ukraine what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it is an arrogant act that the international community must condemn and will never accept in response russia's representative said the ukrainian ship had violated its territor

well the problem is the defacto russia controls crimea russia considers crimea its territory and crimea controls the straits which are connecting the new terrain in with the story of the black sea with the hours of c. a smaller kind of league right near the south in the regions of russia so when the ukrainian ships approached the straits without warning without saying that they were on their way to the ukrainian base in the isle of c. . near the russian border guards interpret that breach of border as a bridge of national territory the problem is that ukraine doesn't see crania as russian territory so it's a question of kind of a legal dispute. until now the ukrainian navy respected a defacto situation that dropshots control crimea and you should be kind of on time when you want to cross the straits but just. really well the sea it sounds are there are certainly throwing a water isn't and both countries have the right to use them even though we know that russia controls both sides of the strait right now and let me ask you what you think will happen at the u.n. security council meeting

we spoke with russia's deputy u.n. envoy dmitri poly and he says the west response will only furthering current ukraine. i fear that after the western countries that have particular influence in ukraine are really displayed surf session up at its root the ukrainian side might feel a little bit and bold don't. provoke asians of this type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting any reproaches from from western that they did something wrong though it seems to me that the issues are slightly clear director linked to the prospect of elections in ukraine it is their rectal link to the falling ratings of president poroshenko so it was very strange that the security council colleagues actually avoided. polling calling these things by their real value. after months of rumors china sea n.p.c. oil corporation is replacing french total in iran's multi-billion dollar south park's gas project and the move might come as a bit of a surprise to some as the new bush will now explain. self policy is the angelina jo

and russia was always going to rebuild its military the question is how can the united states and russia construct a relationship where we are both. with the intention. of the intentions of the other so that we're not worried it's not that we shouldn't. we should make sure. that when and where we would use. criticism of putting trade. to deal with the british. life by the united arab emirates. united nations agreement on migration. nationalists. us president. proudly stated that he is. also ahead on the program here. as there are no. european museums losing collections of disputed treasures as countries. and. it is friday november twenty third just off to. a new team here running up your top stories welcome to. the wife. who was jailed for life by a united arab emirates court on spying charges has. finally intervening in the case five months over requests to the government and says that london's an auction was caused by a fear of upsetting its trading partner. i was under the impression that they were putting their interests with the u.a.e. a bar of british citizens. right feel free to h

trump about travel to russia. he then says i would like to note that i did not in fact travel there nor have i ever been to russia. he says, quote, i made these statements to be consistent with mr. trump's political messaging and out of loyalty to mr. trump. and at that point it kind of feels like it's over, but it turns out he left something out, something that turns out to be important. and so the prosecution sort of jumps in to fill that in. so the judge at this point says, quote, any further allocution requested by the government? and the prosecutor from special counsel robert mueller's office, rush atkinson, he says yes, your honor. as set forth in the criminal information, which is like an indictment except you get a criminal information when you plead guilty instead of going trial, as set forth in the information, mr. cohen submitted in his statement falsely that upon reaching out to the kremlin in january 2016 about the moscow project, he had not received any response. in fact, he had received a response f
