this question of russian violation is long and deep. it is something that both the trump and the obama administration's were very concerned about. in fact, just to give a little context, i would like to read from a speech in 2015 by the obama administration under secretary of state for arms-control insecurity rose, this is what undersecretary said in 2015. >> [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] [speaking in native language] >> i am quoting rose, she said that russia tested started in 2008, ground launch cruise missile that flies to ranges banned by the treaty. the band ranges are between 505,500 kilometers. we are quite sure they have tested a capable missile that applies to those regions and try to get away with it. we called with them on it starting in may 2013 and we have been butting heads ever cents. >

i think i believe there's a russian language and student sudan that's run by a russian company so you're seeing some of these these. soft power institutions but they're very different from what they were before. but i do think you know you know there's a lot of. criticism that you know the west. conditions its engagement conditions dangerous on good governance and anti-corruption sometimes it realize you know it lives up to that sometimes it doesn't but i think for many african countries you know engagement can be turned off from the west at a moment's notice so i think many countries are looking at. china and russia as a more reliable partner and i think you particular see this with arms sales you know several countries that have had you know the the west either europe or the united states cut off arms sales they're now pivoting to russia because they don't see that as a likely problem down the road and so. i sort of also would argue that many african countries rapidly developing economies they want greater global power and they want greater influence over the international system and t

betrays the general russian. president there on in particular but i'm wondering if you think self could afford to abandon or cheat on the agreements that he reached with regard to the i think you're making a very good point. to to throw russia under the bus easily in favor of some kind of an alliance with the united states because turkey personally is in a very difficult position of the moment there's a lot of pressure on him at home over the syria policy this. a lot of people at home saying why are you not returning all those syrian refugees back to syria and of course that agreement over is probably the. you know straw. polls which has been disastrous to be honest while we're still on the subject of syria publicized details of the journalist murder are extremely disturbing but not in the context of syria because. there are things that have been done in that country by the rebels that were supported either by saudi arabia or i'm afraid. but speaking about saudi arabia do you thing that is going to in any way lim

these are russian military officers. if we could get our hands on these folks, we have no problem seeing them in justice. >> with the connection -- if what you are saying about the connection to russia is true, when you claim that, does it impact your ability to do this? >> if we get them, we will not have problems. >> three of the gru officials indicted were previously indicted by special counsel mueller. did you coordinate or work with them in the indictment? >> this investigation is entirely separate from the work of the special counsel's office. >> did you coordinate when you released it? anything about the investigation? >> i will not comment on any discussion -- internal justice department discussions. >> the western district of pennsylvania often seems to be involved in these cases, hacking of foreign governments. is there anything you have seen that actually works? not everyone believes they have given -- anything you have done our actions work to deter foreign hackers working on the house of the government. come

the russian economy is in trouble. putin will look to outside reasons why that trouble exists and sanctions are a perfect excuse. my great fear is that as the russian economy tanks, both his expansionist desires and anti-u.s. rhetoric will increase. i think we're playing into that hand completely. does that compute with you guys? >> i guess the good news is you don't have to be so worried about the russian economy tanking. if you look at consensus estimates of the imf, the world bank, the ebrd, russia's economy is essentially set to stagnate, more or less, and experience 1 to 2% growth rates for the foreseeable future, but that's not a collapse. however, the political dynamics, of course, you're exactly right. the sanctions were a political gift in a lot of ways in that they allowed for, you know, pointing to an external reason for an economic downturn that was as much caused by internal problems as it was by sanctions, particularly the sort of secular slowdown in russian economy like reforms, dependence on hydrocarbon

it's the russians. russians is part of the social part of the problem at this point. could we work with them? action we have. we are willing to work with anybody who is willing to create a transition in syria. from what i understand the opposition actually maybe going into moscow person to talk about idlib and the continuation. not to make the russians keep saying that's the tip or deal in idlib. that was happening out in the north that something could completely erupt and change the strategies, calculations on the ground. there is an attempt to talk with him and see how we can keep this holding. >> mike, you are itching to comment on on the. >> i just wanted and a few more -- i want to flag something. i do we in worst-case scenarios so not saying this is missing which would happen but there's a kind of a contradiction in the american approach recuses from the 30,000-foot level and it has to do with our attitude towards iran and russia on the one hit and our attitude towards the turks. it is a priority now of the administration to improve relations with the turks. and

not just the russian military that's having accusations flying at it apparently russian trolls are now turning fans against the classic star wars films believe that or not we'll give you details just a bit later in the. but for now you're not see us special representative zalmay khalilzad is on a. trip to the middle east to quote coordinate and lead u.s. efforts to bring the taliban to the negotiating table however it doesn't look like they are willing to accept the offer especially considering the increasing control the group is exerting on the ground there watty was granted access to one taliban commander and we raised the subject. over the americans never want to cooperate with the taliban and the taliban has never asked the americans again to cooperate against islamic state the americans are bombing us while we fight i saw the latest suggestion of direct talks between the taliban and washington came from the u.s. state department on friday. this is ministration has made it clear that it is prepared to engage with and participate in the go with both the taliban and the afghan govern
