how do you understand negotiating putin's russia or dealing with putin's russia versus dealing with russia as such. >> well, the system that we have there, everybody knows and the people-- it's a fusion of the security services with the state. and we think about this, in the soviet period there were a lot more checks and balances and divisions of-- i want to say that-- maybe not the right way of putting it, but there was the state and there was the social security services run on a tight leash. in the cold war, the other kind of people, you know, writing about this, this is a james bond movie, spies running around all over the place, but these guys were under the oversight of the state. when you get to a situation that we've had in 2000, putin has come out of the security services, kgb through the back corridors and they have become the state, all of these appointments of security officials from the various intelligence agencies in and around putin and the cabinet and everything else. how do you move this into a different phase? now, it seems that what putin has been trying to do himself i

russia as such? >> you've got a lot of people [inaudible] it's a fusion of the security services and when you think about this in the soviet time there were more checks and balances that were deficient or how to say but maybe that's not right way of putting it but there was the state and then there was this security services which were run then on a fairly tight leash. we might have had this image in the cold war with these people writing about this james bond movies or spies running around all over the place but these guys were under the oversight and when you get to a situation that we had since 2000 where putin came out with the security services with the kgb to the back corridor they have become the stage and all these appointments of security officials from the various intelligence agencies in and around putin and the kremlin and cabinet positions but also private business you got to stay and capture that so how do you move this into a different phase? seems that putin has tried to do himself is

probably got the world that's russia or has a superiority in science. derek what is the problem here the problem number one is because the russians have not shared any of the data about phase one and phase 2 with this scientific community they really helpful if we had that data we know virtually nothing of talk about this vaccine other than that it sir. based on the chimpanzee advice platform it's the chant platform which is also the basis for the china auxlang scene which is their export vaccine so that we would assume that it works and more lace the same way as the oxford vaccine but apart from that we know very little told it's probably be through face one and face true clinical trials and what about gates and face the trial starting know that that means it's not really much for the pipeline and several other vaccine projects but the difference seems to be that it's going to be ruled out of the general population rather fast. constantius i mean when the russians say the moving forwards with using the new vaccine without starting phase number 3 i mean

i know i'm focused on russia right now i would say it's not limited to russia as far as the opportunities for a number of foreign countries, governments and services to try to influence the outcome of those electoral systems. >> that actually is a point i want to come back to. but we're seeing from other actors, particularly i think authoritarian regimes to find this toolkit to be particularly appealing. whether it is the outcome of an election or simply to undermine and weaken the democratic foundations of their competitors as a means of weakening us from within. it seems to me this is a toolkit that is proliferating although i think there are distinctions among different actors based on their long-term strategies which i'd like to unpack that we will come back to that in a moment . sort of sticking with the history point of this for another couple minutes, one of the interesting conclusions for me that you reached is that even during the cold war there was a difference in the us and soviet tactics when it came to covert electoral interference. that us tactics were more rooted in the dem

of russia would lose the most friendly society in terms of russia because the russians and most friendly. to other nations and as a very important soft power instrument and russia's already present their most below sense because russian russian media are still very popular in belarus culture church family connections and so on mentality also a bit cut and so on so it's really you know it will not disappear even as long as president is not there i mean. i met this dependence will not. influence will not disappear also it cannot dependence from russia is huge so i don't really see the point why would she do that because he still can't have influence on the. there are potential presidential candidates very quick. this is very important yeah no. chance for putin i think it's also a chance for him what's happening because. the relationship between putin is quite difficult and i'm not sure if really wants to keep. it isn't it better for him to get rid of him because he didn't. recognize crimea being russian. how do you sleep at night. you go from like. beginning to feel despairing about the si

and why do you see exactly what are you saying that russia has acted unethically. well. first of all having his daughter be experimented with investigation of vaccine. is is just you know it made me shudder you know as a parent or grandparent to think that i would expose my child to. an unproven that scene that could have severe and dangerous effects. is the highly irresponsibility russia has acted against all international ethical and legal standards. first of all even in the early trials russia was experimenting with this on russian soldiers who have questionable ability to say no and to give informed consent away be on act you know we already have 8 trials globally including in china europe and the united states there are incredibly and say sorry trials these are war at scale population trials against a placebo. intil something a shown to be safe and effective in these large scale trials. no regulatory agency worth their salt would approve it. because it could make more dangers it could be less effective if you cause deaths. and so it's the height of an ethical intern

submarine funding that comes to better russia is largely raised from from russia so that's an important relationship too but like i said the has been very aggressive they said they've warned russia that there should be no overt or covert interference in the domestic policies under the threat of facing new renewed extremely quote unquote heavy sanctions it is seen to do that but i think it is going to come back with exactly the same argument in fact and he did say explicitly to merkel this morning in that telephone that there should be no western interference in the domestic politics. and all said and done the better russian people should be left to decide for themselves i mean that's the way these revolutions go it's best for the people to sort out on their own and then sense their friends and everybody is pointing to the armenian model which is more or less that's. played out place a government and passion and who took over then went and made friends with both the west but also specifically for russia because russia isn't actually a role to play a constructive role here in terms of ves

but that's not how russia sees it a majority of crimea but ours was a good stride here to rejoin russia because as a cuban money people waited by a ukrainian a sort of just during a year as i was seeing more and more see that right from the garment i tried to respect the rights or crimean tatars. like so many others jamil calico is unable to return to his home. he is the crimean tatars most famous musician and it was he who rediscovered their ancient and for. so that's who you're looking to the good to go on hold and have a few clips of our. and a semi on his honesty if there were so there again him lemme see in the middle like in the mother so many years with us was 1st born as you said would leave more than they would have chastised you but i was listening always in my eyes because about there was a day that i was not a dick and i doubt there you almost got it he lifetime as you have it was what you must not only responding today and had complete as then you are divorced at the end they couldn't and they were so literally. right a.t.r. was a total his own television station based in s

senate is doing in concert with russia? >> russia does not want joe biden to be elected. russia is using this statement says that a pro-russian ukrainian is sending hacked materials to u.s. senators and in their hearings, in their investigation, they're seeking to tear down joe biden's candidacy to suggest that, you know, ukraine was the fact the one that hacked us in 2016. it's a character attack on joe biden. this is why donald trump by the way was impeached, but it really just shows that, you know, there's no -- really they'll go to any length to try and keep donald trump in power including, you know, false character attacks on joe biden that are coming from the kremlin. >> wow. >> now, let's talk one last question because we're after all in the midst of a pandemic, let's say in your district, single parent working two jobs, has lost them both and finds themselves in a unique position of needing food from a food bank and looking to their government for help, can you tell them that your party is blameless, can you tell them they're caught up in kind of waiting game betw

putin has given a major interview to a russian channel on king internal and external issues facing russia is being aired right now and we continue people are afraid that it's going to come ard on us well many people called a 2nd wave mass media we hear a lot about it yes even scientists sometimes say that there will be a 2nd wave oh yes there is such a possibility but actually it's just a new development of the existing situation so special is to say that this term is better while in europe they have more and more defections well that's evident all on the surface people are going on vacation many people are. living. there are those in restaurants yes i'm sure the people don't think about doubtless here but they don't want to take the interest of others they don't care about society that is why we see that in some countries there is a muse spike of coverage 1000 infections you know delegates coming back to this country's i hope we will not have that sheesh i should i have the most europe and other well you continents will be free from that 2nd wave it's you that we have a lot of us covered

russia recently took part of that country. russia is currently occupying other parts of it. but on top of ukraine, between ukraine and the baltic states, is the large and still quite soviet country of belarus. belarus did become an independent country when the soviet union collapsed in 1991. they established a new form of government. they constituted themselves as the republic of belarus. they held an election for president of that republic for the first time in 1994. in that first election in 1994, they picked this guy, alexander lukashenko, to be their first ever president. again, they picked him in 1994. he is still there today. i say that belarus is kind of soviet because belarus is often described as europe's last dictatorship, and he is the dictator. but belarus is both effectively a dictatorship and also nominally it's a republic. it is a place that holds elections. and those two things may seem contrary, that you would be a dictatorship but also one that holds elections. but in practice, those two things often come together. i mean if you think about it, right, basic

the might of russia's new nuclear weapons i see. a year russia remains a nuclear power. but nobody was talking to us constructively nobody has listened to us but they will listen to us now for a few switches i. think . we should keep them somewhere this is how he reaches the hearts and minds of his voters they love this feeling of power that he knew with sheer maybe he couldn't have said it at the last election but this time it was clear he would be running as the man who made russia great again. made russia reading it and said for a few neighboring countries like bella rousseau ukraine or russia cannot cellmates anything or anyone of course right. still poussin likes to see himself as a name for a set. on march the 18th hootin won the election with over 76 percent of the votes for the last results of his political career this came as no surprise to his supporters it isn't pushing you to put using prisoners up with your with the usual music rituals to ensure the essence of putin's regime or putinism as the west describes it is that he's one of the few heads of state who

i don't know i mean the united states is trying to keep the sanctions up against russia russia depends heavily on these gas exports the russian treasury gets a lot of money from germany from these gas exports and the united states as as mentioned is interested in selling liquefied natural gas to europe a lot of americans why ask themselves why are we spending so much money on defense of europe when when germany goes and spends billions of dollars a year on a natural gas from from germany from from russia so all these things come into play from the accusation to show that to germany is making itself a hostage of russia moscow's mercy that this is a russian trojan horse and also a greek trojan holes well see there was the pipeline old stream 115 years ago when this pipeline was build my major criticism was that germany might become dependent on russian gas since then more then when t. terminals for liquid to fight natural gas have been build in europe they have plenty of opportunities to get gas from all directions this pipeline is not dangerous in so far as we need this gas no we don't

russia and china have all rejected a u.s. request to reimpose sanctions on iran the so-called snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories are to scale up and picks up the story so at this point we've got the united states essentially demanding that the united nations reimpose its crippling sanctions economic warfare against the islamic republic of iran this is mike pompei o laying out the demand just a few minutes ago i delivered letters to both the un secretary-general to tears and to the president of the security council. notified them that the united states is initiating the restoration of virtually all u.n. sanctions on iran lifted under un security council resolution 2231 did i say it will never allow the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons now essentially the united states is hoping to invoke the snap back mechanism that was part of the j c p o a conclusion of the iran nuclear negotiati

then a criminal investigation inevitably have to happen in russia. oh absolutely yes i mean it is it is if you the question is if he was of course and put it this way what happened to him on that flight he suddenly from what i've been reading about in the reports he became suddenly very ill. perhaps there was a medical reason behind that perhaps not certainly it would be it would go along with with somebody being poisoned what actually happened to you know if that was the case it is proven that of course the question is who poisoned him and then we go from there but 1st we've got to get to that stage before 1st established a completely what actually happened to him and then we can move on to that as you say that would obviously mean a criminal investigation given the international interest that we've seen in this case and all the speculation to do you think the miss investigation should be independent in any way or is it right for russia to carry out the investigation saying it happened on russian soil well that's a very good question i think that le

with russia. so adamant putin entirely agreement in his eyes trump was just a pawn in the political chess game. surely that might go the smoke a little bit but it's just at the beginning of the development of this domestic policy dispute was still quite amusing and a group of girls today we was sad and concerned with to a man. and what kind of crazy notions these people will come up with next if all they are doing is stirring up the anti russian sentiment and you actually see there is a great interest because. this was the atmosphere in which the 2 presidents 1st met face to face in july 2017 at the g 20 summit in hamburg. president trying to be a little more casual about. his appearance before putin and coop them with a little more formal a little more ramrod straight of his chair so longer to be with you if you like either because it would interfere with your degree to hear president trump tell president putin that it was an honor to meet with every. requirement of the climate that we're in with

for his affinity towards russia would have a great relationship with putin and russia. political tensions between russia and the u.s. had been rising amounting even to talk of a new cold war. of those still the politics of u.s. democrats and president obama and steer the russian american relationship down a blind alley to be the democrats' new presidential candidate was putin's arch enemy hillary clinton. they also argue opposed to the kiddo. no she even compared him with hitler quite blatantly she said he was just like hitler so it was obvious they were lation would be difficult if she became president. moscow pinned all its hopes on donald trump to revive the relationship between the 2 nations. drawn into swaim subversion trump expressed himself quite differently he said he would find a common language with putin very doable that was possible to work together with putin shores which in the end that's exactly what he was planning to do. donald trump and florida may putin to man with 2 common enemies hillary clinton and barack obama. despite having different reasons tru

russia's targeting systems like ukraine so it's an application to the u.s. the second was taking what was private information and making them public. abolishing the line between what's personal and what's in the public arena. that's an old idea. in the 1976 presidential election, he created forgery, personal life of the presidential candidate and saw to publicize what they claim the private life to destroy his political career. with the internet afforded them to do was instead of having one forgery with tens of thousands of documents rather than newspapers to upload them online through wikileaks as a third-party credit. the third was social media which seems the most novel and in many ways, is a real revolution but what they were doing across the ira was suppressing voters, turning out others, steering voters, appealing to the personal vulnerability and they had done with elections all over the world. but the internet did was allow russia to enhance those tactics to reach more peaceful people precisely. the idea behind its operation on just well but in some

russia is the issue. what the "new york times" article showed is officials have been reticent to bring this up with donald trump because he has never come to grips with the idea russia helped him in 2016 and is trying to help him again. >> china and iran are two different kinds of threats. i understand what they're saying about russia kind of opportunistically going after donald trump or after joe biden right now. china geopolitically is in such a different boat than russia. more influential around the world, more allies, more business partners. iran is mad over the nuclear deal and sanctions with a whole set of other issues. i am partly surprised by this report, ken, partly i figure thissat this point there is no way someone would not be trying to interfere in our electoral process just because of how interconnected we are with so many other nations that want to kind of play on america's level. >> i think that is a fair point. but i think the way these countries go about it is fundamentally different. ch

operation was for great joy in russia. despite world condemnation russia now claim crimea as its own. and in the stick that it sees here and you will. see when you're back with that return they didn't look at your system and watching got a national but if you didn't that let you know let them see important visit you in the formal a good start but the. government said they want to kill it does not like. it was not a liberal it was holding forth people people voting station. tears in their arse. but not all shed tears of joy for most ukrainians and tough times living in crimea it was a dark day. for them on. earth. this ambition appears to be echoed by the man himself in the speech to crimean russians. look at us going back you never . gave my together for. amongst putin's 1st orders was to begin working on a bridge spanning over 18 kilometers from the russian mainland to crimea. with the annexation of the peninsula now in full flow russian strategy was about to take an ominous direction against the us who had opposed the re

both ways in his dealings with russia. well i think that it's definitely fair to say that germany is pretty torn over its relationship with russia at the moment yeah i mean you're right on the one hand it does have this enormous and very controversial pipeline that will link it up to russia for russian gas something that's usually in popular unpopular among many of germany's european neighbors and not to mention the united states and in fact just recently asked the former soviet been talking about when he was standing in moscow just a couple of weeks ago saying that he's not going to bow to american pressure over germany's energy needs and yet on the other side you have all of these incidents where there is no valley or the murder of a dissident here in berlin just see a year ago or hacker attack on the german parliament itself which is being blamed on russia plus of course the fact that 6 years ago russia annexed crimea something is still unresolved so you do have more and more voices coming out here in germany saying som

but that's not how russia sees it a majority of crimea but ours was a good stride here to rejoin russia because as a cuban money people waited by a ukrainian a sort of just during few a year as i see more and more see that russian garment are try to respect rights or crimea and others. like so many others jamil calico is unable to return to his home. he is the crimean tatars most famous musician and it was he who rediscovered their ancient and for. the locals the good to go on hold and have the option. group number. and a semi on his honesty if there were so there again him lemme see in the millisecond your mother stanley is with us was 1st on us is there was only one of them that would have chastised you but i was listening always in my eyes because i have asked them all again and i will do that today and i doubt there you almost got it he lifetime as you have left what you must not only responding today and had complete as then you are divorced at the end they couldn't and they were still there on the . right a.t.r. was a top post on television station based in simferopol. but soon af
