speeches he seeks for. with the election days away on the eighteenth of march you reviewed russia has an invincible weapon. a new nuclear powered missile which could reach almost anyny points in the world and not be intercepted by anti missile systems. that along with a hypersonic cruise missile underwater drone capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. sticking with military might see also hailed losses operations backing the us government sees. the operations area show the increased capabilities of the russian ministry. what a great job in on of the last several years? strengthening the army and the police. the first onto his two hour speech concentrates on the concerns of struggling russian's he bound to help close. if the enemy school could use a boss is increasing

because of the economic crisis. twenty million russians live in poverty. because there's on the figure of fortunate in that we saw in the year two thousand even what is still unacceptable. it must be held within six years in and out. of this. also included improving road infrastructure and posing technological growth a comet is passed to a fourth term as clear. as seven of the candidates in the running he has the backing of four out of five. what's more this i'm joined from washington dc dc by on a board just gonna she's a russia specialist at the washington institute. at mrs bush is either very much for joining us around to the full at now this was a speech of two halls the second hall please speaking. to the rest of the world particularly at the west these weapons of rudeness unveiled essentially run to any us anti missile system uses because. they wouldn't be able to insert into that

russia's new. missiles which are known that is sick how much of a shock is this the rest the world was the arrest. away do you think that russia had develop these weapons. thank you very much for having a wall he was still permitted it hasn't commented i just eight. hours ago on the speech and they did mention that none of this came as a particular surprise so it seems that. the united states has been watching and you know for one thing. so i doubt that this came as a complete surprise. i'm. in a speech presented this is a sort of a new world order with with russia the tall. either positioning russia against the west that particular against us at the us on. a president from always seeing you think a return to cold war rhetoric here. well first let me justst say

ththat this message of of russia as a great power this greatness. who has emphasized in in his speech he you know the talk of you didn't pay attention to what's now but you better pay attention now look at us now arising from our knees? on this was a very this wasn't just another show the west this is also to russia's domestic audience on the eve of the of the presidential election. because. putting frankly has very little to offer at this point other than an image a projection of russia as a great power. because if you look at russia's economic situation certainly things look very different. all night if if if he's trying to turn away from the domestic situation we have seen. a priest in fixing his muscles in global conflicts like syria. how serious do you think he is about becoming a world power outward looking at easy becoming? well you know for the kremlin under putin it has always been this it has always been an intrinsic connection between what they describe as russia's. security and what the west does so there's very little

i think there's a there's very little difference between domestic and foreign popolicy. i think what we can certainly expect is as a more aggressive russian foreign policy overall because again who just has very little to offer. domestically. is as far as russia is concerned but you know as far as y your questition abt the new cold war on it look certainly we cannot turn a blind eye to this food is getting more aggressive. and out for one thing we cannot pursue unilateral disarmament that's that's quite important so we shouldn't be ignoring this either. okay so you mean the rest of the world the us should not. be thinking of backing down in the face of this. no absolutely not now. singles are going to a home crowd that he selections on the eighteenth of march. in seven opponents but at how much of a competition is is really going to be. this is not a real competition and frankly this is not a real election. the result was already predetermined putin hasn't dissipated many debates and frankly what's in their interesting to watch with this election. is that if a anybody wanted

to get anything done for example in moscow if they wanted to get the snow cleared all they have to do is write the name of the last scene of on the one of the opposition. leaders who is not allowed to ride and immediately the snow would get cleared which shows you how much food and fears. real opposition and who coululd pose a r real challe this is not a re election and we already know what the result is going to be. on it which is i think you very much for that analysis. thank you very much for having. the four thousand civilians remain trapped in the eastern who pass five days after the ceasefire almost would allow them to escape adams. toto receive urgrgent supplies of food and medicine well over a thousand peoeople allusion need immediate and lifesaving evacuations from the rebel held syrian and life. eight coalition say to hospitals of in poems since saturday. leaves only a handful of health says he's partially functioning. founded in season boss is a call to the isle of fifteen crossing waiting to evacuate civilians to government

announce it will stop selling firearms and ammunition. to bias under the age of twenty one. those retailers have now caught restrictions that tough but the government gun regulations which once again the subject of face to face off the deadliest high school shooting spree in the us. as for which was which took place in florida two weeks ago. children his surprise his own republican party by calling for quick and substantial changes to u. s. colonels. who is enraraged some voters? not. worry. so i can lie and i are sitting on the counter on my table. going to do anything about it so. . right it has no health issues. . that's the problem. address mental health how that ininformation flflows into . backgrouound c check system because they don't understand our very responsible people we care about safety. ththere's the nra that i know is all about

united states with over six hundred souls. is probably an even m more important one day will be dedicating themselves they say to not selling any s semi automatic riflfles and evil that includes in some of their souls to specialize in huntingg and fishing. but more than anything that ceo came out yesterday to say that he wants common sense gun reform that is something the democrats are trying to get through. on a national level they might well fail on that level though but what we're also seeing not just these individual companies taking things into their own hands what you're also seeing. is gone ruleses are being discussed on a state levevel one example is here in minnesota where right now there is a discussion on es a debate. on whether law enforcement would be allowed to take guguns awaway from somebodoo

they deem as being a risky person somebody who might go on a shooting spree one never knows. like that young because you did exactly that in florida now two weeks ags president old from stands right now what wee have head many proposals from him and we've actually had a lot of proposals from people that. ththe white houou has invit. to d discuss with the president's as well and he seems to o have picked up oa few of the most controversial one of course being arming teachers in still bebelieves i in heelss ststill belieieves. in background checks more strict background checks that would include mental

health check somebody with mental health problems would not be able to buy a gun for exexample. but the controversial things coming from this white house says any controversial in the eyes of republicans all for example the us president saying that law enfororcemet must like what is being discussed here in ththe stae of minnesota right now. that law enforcememe could take away guns from somebody before even going through the court system that's very controversial republicans don't want that all of the y to many r republicans in congress. andd if they don't like what those members of congress do thehey m might indidicate a lotot of that y to beating them in the next
