talking about vladimir putin's intentions and so you've had two successive administrations -- administration, which we served in, and the barack obama administration -- both badly misjudged the intentions of president vladimir putin. and so at this hour multiple conversations taking place between donald trump and putin about who knows what. here's the question -- does putin have a strategy? i guarantee you he does. does donald trump have a strategy with putin? i'm not so sure. certainly not one that was articulated over the course of the campaign. and that's why this is important. he was legitimately elected in a

he's joined by russian president, vladimir putin. this is the last stop on obama's final overseas tour as president. he will spend the weekend at the trade unit in peru before heading home monday. while he is meeting behind the scenes with the president of peru, russian president, vladimir putin may be front and center. there's a possibility putin may speak later this afternoon. we are covering the trip to the summit. she joining us from lima. any chance trump or putin could talk or casually get together? >> reporter: not certain about plans by president-elect trump and russian president vladimir putin. when it comes to this summit here, there's questions about whether president obama or president putin will have a meeting. no meeting is on the schedule. there are no plans for them to a what the white house calls a bilateral meeting. what often happens on the sidelines is what the white house calls an informal pull aside where the two leaders are able to chat informally. i'm told not to expect that to happen today. there's a lot of t

we also want to hear what vladimir putin said. our radio audience will hear this through a translator. [video clip] vladimir putin: we have heard his electoral slogans when he was still a candidate. [speaking russian] >> he spoke about restoring relations with russia and the united states. vladimir putin:[speaking russian] translator: we understand that the way to that will be difficult to take on the current state of the relation between the relations of the u.s. and russia. vladimir putin:[speaking russian] translator: as i have repeated -- repeatedly said, it is not our fault that russian-american relations are in the poor state. vladimir putin:[speaking russian] translator: we want to restore the full-fledged relations of the united states. host: the comments of the russian president vladimir putin. and many critics saying he had hands in the election, with wikileaks and his friendship with donald trump, indirect support of donald trump. >> that is not just critics, that was the u.s. intelligence community. communityntelligenc

let's play that. >> vladimir putin. someone you respect. someone who kills journalists, invaded crimea. is that a man you respect? >> stop it with that kind of stuff. i mean -- >> stop it with what, sir? stop it with what? >> how you're describing a leader in the world that's actually, that we have to deal with. we're dealing with them right now. we have to deal with russia. we have to deal with russia. we cannot make russia an enemy. >> what do you make of his words that some believe make islam or muslims an enemy and not vladimir putin? >> you know, i'm troubled by it. i hope he'll rethink assumptions. when a region annexed territory of a neighbor, that's an alarm thing and said he's not an enemy, that's a very disturbing thing that hasn't happened in europe since world war ii. president obama working with the entire nato alliance was right to respond to that action by sanctions and strengthening nato and when he says things like that, it makes people worried that he might not be as tough on russia as we need to be right now. >> thank you

is vladimir putin just looking for a little attention? >>> i am wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> breaking news. one week before the election, the fbi out of the blue suddenly releases 15-year-old files from its investigation into president bill clinton's controversial pardon of a hedge fund trader. no explanation from the bureau, which is already under fire for its handling of the hillary clinton aide's e-mails and the fbi is now being pressured also to go public with its investigations of donald trump's alleged links to russia. the clinton campaign accuses director james comey of a blatant double standard, but sources say that so far fbi investigations have shown no criminal ties between russia and trump or his backers. with polls tightening, the candidates are trying to cover as much ground as they can. buoyed by clinton's revived e-mail controversy, trump is spending precious time in traditionally blue states in pennsylvania. running mate mike pence joined him today for an attack on obamacare. the cli

vladimir putin is a former director of the kgb. he made his bones under boris yeltsin, dissolving and selling off assets of russia, which were sold into the global real estate market, and that laundered all the money from russia. for him to actually see someone who's coming in, who he could co-opt would actually be the greatest intelligence coup ever in the history of russia and vladimir putin would not miss that opportunity, and that's what the hacks were for. >> well, tonight's report on the florida vote has to be very thae hacks are for. >>> tonight's vote for the florida vote has to be very disappointing for vladimir putin. thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having me. >>> msnbc's live coverage continues into the next hour with brian williams. that's next. >>> there's been another surprise release from the fbi, this time files about former president bill clinton raising new questions tonight about the timing of it all. here we are less than a week before election day. >>> also breaking news out of florida tonight. a b

from a geostrategic the standpoint, ask vladimir putin, he'd say the u.s. has been down it for dirk kads, bases in turkey, up through the gulf sboond the caucuses. now the russians have major footprint in syria. this comes at a cost for the russians it's blood and treasure. for the syrians and specifically bashar al assad, undoubted loyalty to do vladimir putin and the russians. that's shifted, changed in the region. the former assistant secretary spoken eloquently the russians approach syria like chechnya. look what's happening in aleppo, it's become grozny. a humanitarian disaster of biblical proportions shifting everything and for the coming years. a new reality for the next president, a russian presence in the region. >> people in swing states seem to think hillary clinton will do a better job than donald trump, the fact is, validity to the criticism the obama administration has not been particularly decisive on a nun of these issues including how to settle iraq and how to settle syria. >> yeah, but you're dealing, ali, with, say, a known-known and a kn

you are either with me or with the evil vladimir putin. so many tv channels and media organizations jumped on the bandwagon here. the whole e-mail scandal, that's because of russian hackers. when wikileaks started releasing clinton's compromising data that means julian assange is a russian spy or putin's agent and vladimir putin is scheming here because he is in a bromance with donald trump. >> these hacks have been taking place by russians. >> russian state actors broke into the dnc. >> russia has used cyber attacks. >> we know russian intelligence services which are part of the russian government which is under the firm control of vladimir putin has hacked the dnc. >> there is growing evidence that russia is using wikileaks as a delivery vehicle for hacked e-mails. >> trump himself praised putin and embraces pro-russian policy. you continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race. >> that's really what it was, putin being the bogeyman in the campaign race. it didn't seem to work, obviously. >> the fact that

vladimir putin is expecting freezing or even cutting operations with opec. the brazilian opec supply has been a real headache. opec has past, when been effective, it is because of saudi arabia. do they still have the wherewithal and power and influence to drive a deal? >> it is a two-way street. it is not clear-cut how it will play out, but there's no question in my mind saudi arabia can't survive on $50 oil. guy: against this back drop of crude's uncertain future, the kingdom of saudi arabia began a sweeping transformation of its economy with programs and reforms called vision 2030. the ultimate goal, to reduce dependence on oil and stimulate domestic and foreign investment in order to diversify revenue. the first hints of the plan began to surface in late january. >> saudi arabia is considering an ipo of the world's largest oil business, saudi aramco. they have ruled out selling reserves. >> they have two options. one option is selling off a stake in the downstream operation. that is code in the oil industry for refining. the other would be selling a stake

you are either with me or vladimir putin. many organizations trumped on je bandwagon. the whole e-mail scandal is because of russian hackers. when they started releasing clinton compromising data, that means that julian is a russian spy and vladimir putin is asked that all scheming here because he's in a romance with donald trump. >> these have taken place and they say russia is behind this. >> russia has used cyber attacks. we know the intelligence services which are part of the russian government under the control of vladimir putin hacked into the dnc. >> they arthey're using it as a delivery vehicle. >> he keeps praise and embraces the pro- russian policies. you continue to get help from him because he has a clear favorite in this race. >> it didn't seem to work. >> the fact that donald trump one goes to show maybe they didn't buy it and they had more important things to care about than the allegations of stealing from the americans. maybe that is because the camp wasn't eventually able to prove that putin was somehow scheming and interfering here but this didn't re
