has backed off a little from ukraine that was the great danger and well my only slightly shown problem there i'm sure many here i see more of that let me jump in here we're going to go to a break we're going to talk a lot about ukraine in may mark my words or after a short break we'll continue our discussion on trump's foreign policy stage with our team.
5:01 pm
in the highlands was as political or tied to one he counts donington disdain said standing stock poor now. because of a virus on the gulf of the off the top to meet on a closely held the ball park so please tell me if you think it was a joke on other stuff just want us out of you're going to see if they don't get out of the complex enough. to sell it all may not be all close to a strike i'm going to school at all to know that i go for opening for our golf on you so. let's throw out the call course plus we'll turn our back to the target gets out. she said before in the.
5:02 pm
least if anything becomes in. time for venting. welcome back to cross talk we're all things we consider. discussing trumps foreign policy. let me go back to georgia new york in interesting thing how with mccrone visit and when we have about to resume her. domestic crisis is at home we i'm thinking of the
5:03 pm
salisbury alleged chemical weapons attack then we had the attack on syria and it really into is interesting to me how they talk about syria now we had mccrone he said france and the u. u.s. and allies to quote build syria of tomorrow oh by the way the united states is making it illegal for other companies countries and companies to actually help syria rebuild it can't be in the part of syria where the damascus a government house control so george it's about exactly one hundred years ago we had sykes pekoe it rejoin the middle east it seems like imperial habits die really hard and on top of that don't you think france the united states and its allies help the syrian people a no go ahead george. yeah there that's exactly right it was hilarious listening to macro on discussing syria and this
5:04 pm
role that the end of the france was going to play in syria that there's even realize that a few days earlier. the syrians were celebrating a day of independence independence when france evacuated syria that's that's that's what the syrians are celebrating the departure of the french the idea that they can now going to be welcoming their former colonial masters with open arms is a lot of bull but i do think that the american french british policy in syria is actually rather dangerous because while this is a they have no real prospect of winning because they don't have any likely candidates who can form any sort of a government in syria what they can do is to prevent any kind of a settlement in syria and i think that's really what they're going to try and do which is to prevent any kind of consolidation of syrian government control because
5:05 pm
all the various candidates i mean the americans proposal for the s.d.f. we're which is you know largely kurdish that's. not no go because the turks don't want them and the syrians are not going to accept kurdish rule and so there that's that that's out. so what they're going to try and do is i think keep the the war going blodgett by feeding again the various jihadi is and therefore just like your previous prevent what they see as russian consolidation in syria and i think that's the danger and i do think that ukraine is also dangerous think there's a new two there is there are still very powerful forces within the washington notably the john bolton's. the bears who want to start up ukraine relaunch some kind of a war that it will i and they're going to daniel there's
5:06 pm
a secret western mainstream media doesn't take any interest in these things but i'm a lot closer to this situation and things are getting to a boiling point in ukraine that's why may is going to be a very hot hot month oh right before fee for the world cup in moscow i'm sure there is no connection there ok daniel i mean you know we're looking at syria we can talk a little bit maybe about ukraine and some more later but you know you have this flip flopping going back and forth and i'm going to agree with michael i think that trump is really expressing the views of his base that they don't like these foreign entanglements these interventions and the terrible waste of money when he wants to get an investment bill passed in the united states which desperately needs an improvement in infrastructure here so i mean he seems to want to have both ways when he can't have both go ahead daniel. yes tweets and rhetoric aside from policy is always something to decipher with this president but i disagree with both of you
5:07 pm
a little bit on a few points one on nato there is not this grand am where france and germany and everyone are in love with us over nato and are going to reach their commitments and fact our commitment of two percent is bogus because we don't even count iraq or afghanistan intervention in our nato estimates and if we really included things properly there would be a little more of a balance but none of that has worked out and also backing off of ukraine i guess i'm agreeing with you peter and disagreeing with michael a bit we did not back off of ukraine whatsoever and i have spoken on this program many times on the proxy war with ukraine and with syria and sanctions that are meant as part of a geo political bipolar scheme of all ours with china and south korea to counter russia on natural resources in the arctic and we're trying to bankrupt russia from being able to develop up there and in fact over the last two weeks i mean i get new
5:08 pm
news on that all the time where we're demanding that the waterway be open for international development and traffic as well as what we're doing in syria to continue to back allow the turks to do what they're doing in the north working with europe and now encouraging the gulf to come in and develop and basically take over northern syria trump spoke with mccrone and basically talked about how it was allers an orange territory. that spaniards in the mediterranean and that's why i mentioned sykes pico because that was a partition and this is what they want to do is another point is you know this michel you know one of the things that's happened in the last week or so can i jump one you want to finish your point go ahead go ahead go ahead daniel finish ship yeah i was going to say one one final point non into. invention is not trump space trump space that tea party thirty six percent are all neo cons and hawks as well of
5:09 pm
the baby boomer generation so well that rhetoric sometimes works because that might be what trump is thinking for the minute or not they are that john bolton's and might bump am i that the nerve and you know what you have always and you know it's very there it was there was a really interesting post mortem of the two thousand and sixteen election and there is evidence very strong evidence that a number of counties were flipped because of the anti-war sentiment that they were democrats but they were they they actually supported trump's nonintervention his views so i would differ with on michael i have a much bigger question to ask you over the last week or so we've heard these murmurings that. france and the united states. and the great britain want to start going around the security council of the united nations so they can pursue their syria policy i find this really very troublesome and dangerous here because we have to remember what the security council was
5:10 pm
a stablish for in the first place it was to make sure that we'd never be another third war third world war and now that we're by these major powers and we're talking in like nineteenth century terms again these great powers they don't want to use international institutions they have poor international law or they're just above it that is very dangerous because it's dysfunctional is the u.n. is it the you want united nations security council actually works the way it's supposed to where you don't have a coalition of great powers that brush aside the concerns of others here i find it truly disturbing and it's the same powers one hundred exactly one hundred years later they carved up the middle east and they want to do it again go ahead michael . the u.s. is in a difficult position i think of. trying to restrain developments that could really up and world i don't know stability peace whatever you want to call a non ideal situation that still better than the worst and this kind of
5:11 pm
pushing locally is what israel and saudi arabia are doing viz of iran you see that in qatar and then also what you mentioned the meddling of britain and france which have been doing it in syria well for two hundred fifty years and of course when i talked about the u.s. aggressive in this in ukraine i was referring to secretary of state clinton and i think the u.s. needs to pull back in the off a with the positive effect of seeing to meet the needs of the base reigning in the neo cons who are not yet completely in control and not pursuing policies that will inevitably lead to war while at the same time looking strong so this i think brings us to the nub of current the current vector of mr trump which is to make a deal with korea which is outside of the realms that we've been talking about and
5:12 pm
that would give of his administration the sufficient authority then to more effectively rein in israel britain france saudi arabia's that are causing all sorts of pesky problems and might create a basis for coming to some kind of agreement with mr putin in the future and that vehicle for that the framework for that has not been established but that doesn't mean it cannot be established so it's a it's a very fine line i think the president is trying to follow well there are so many opportunities that are being squandered left and right that's what makes this such a. dangerous and tragic time you know you know george you know let's look at the reputational issue here i've said it many times in this program here trump wants to tear up the randy a well he wants to make a deal with the koreans i mean i mean that's kind of odd you know i mean because
5:13 pm
because then the next minute administration comes in and they're going to ring negatives well i mean the united states puts itself in such an awkward hypocritical position by doing that particularly again i don't like giving credit to barack obama i really don't but this was a good deal ok and i'd like to correct the president of the united states all that money that they got it was their mind he it was their assets it wasn't a gift everybody made it was paul so an arms deal didn't completely go through in the one nine hundred seventy s. it was four hundred million dollars and they had to pay interest on it so no there was no gift to iran go ahead george reputation issue. of course yes if absolutely correct and that's all point i mean that it's very hard to see how any kind of agreement is possible in north korea because the north korean leaders would be absolutely insane to give up their nuclear capability in return for want
5:14 pm
in return for an empty american promise that we won't attack you why would anyone want to believe that we're you know one strong goes the next president whether it's pens or nikki haley will immediately go back on have agreement and will indeed attack north korea so. it will be an absolutely insane policy to go for i just going back to what it was a bit about this. going to the united nations general assembly i mean it's so hilarious because the only power that has actually be acted in accordance with international law syria has been russia russia is in syria in the caribbeans with international dangers at the rejoice let me jump in here legitimate government may jump in here gentlemen we've run out of time i hope i never will ever say president nikki haley that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guests in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t. see you next time and remember across.

5:20 pm
peyton is officially sworn in as russian president and wastes no time making cabinet decisions for his fourth and. also to come britain's foreign secretary travels to washington to in an attempt to save the iran nuclear deal is donald trump's decision looms on whether to quit the agreement and. it is only one ties from to be killed hundreds of interpreters who worked with the british army in afghanistan face deportation from the u.k. even though they were promised asylum by london.
5:21 pm
i welcome you watching r.t. international this monday evening it's just come seven o'clock in moscow now flatmate thirteen has been officially sworn in as russian president almost two months after he won the election. but it has been six years since the last ceremony and it can even be seen seen in the number of smartphones in the audience today tempting to capture the event. down of reports now from the kremlin and what else was different this time of lattimer putin who is known to be sometimes fashionably sometimes not so fashionably late
5:22 pm
while this time he was right on time with work like a swiss clock i should say and really this ceremony you had a very fresh spirit compared to the previous ones for instance the city center of most school was not blocked off for traffic but instead lattimer pulled in got a call in his office and then we saw him walk all the way to the east side to this palace now he also rode for a briefly with his motorcade and for the first time apparently he preferred to his usual mercedes benz limousine and a new one russian made cortege which literally translates as a motorcade it is a new vehicle designed specifically for the russian president it is in its main feature is how well protected it is it is rumored that it can basically withstand being hit by mortar rounds so this is what we know so apparently it was probably
5:23 pm
the first time that he actually rode that vehicle now he got in here he walked through these magnificent kremlin walls kremlin palace walls set an old and then he delivered a speech and basically the first thing that we gathered from that speech. is that he does not expect this presidency to be easy we have to keep up with the global changes to create an agenda of groundbreaking development so that no obstacle to circumstances could prevent us from the turmoil in our future by ourselves from realizing our most ambitious plans new dreams so. well also vladimir putin made a very big emphasis on you know his on the responsibility he says he's feeling in front of all the people of russia he focused much more on the internal of the domestic policies of russia on the domestic affairs in his speech rather than on foreign policy for instance he tried his speech to try to be very unifying you
5:24 pm
tried you made of visual a very vivid effort of trying to unite the nation in these in these times numbers and. we need breakthroughs in all spheres of life i strongly believe that only a free modern society that is ready for change and innovation that rejects injustice extreme conservatism and excess bureaucracy only such a society can achieve this kind of progress i believe that the main basis for the development of our country is the unity of the free responsible civil society and a democratic government alone after delivering that speech vladimir putin was pretty much on his way and the russian government has already disbanded itself it has already we signed which is a normal of course procedure in this situation so the next thing the next big sensations that we could expect is from vladimir putin's new appointments as to who's going to go in to be the prime minister of cause this is the main intrigue as
5:25 pm
to the key positions the key ministerial positions also many of them remain remain uncertain so this is definitely something to look forward to well after the ceremony the president a media. legal to work and signed a decree launching a plan for the country's next six years on the his administration he also announced incumbent prime minister and former president dmitry medvedev is his pick for the leading position in the new government. dimitri medvedev in britain. putin's longtime sidekick russia's prime minister in strength as well and arguably the most tech savvy official in russia. he's also a big fan of rocky's live. live. like a subtle you live let's.
5:26 pm
listen. to is a quick sign of how we got to be the country second to mom. a lot teacher and legal consultant for that matter simply to ninety nine percent effective and says the end of an election she's the future this campaign season with and yet that it becomes just she's a star a couple of years later right she thousand employees she's the first deputy prime minister then in two thousand acres and with a new russian president yes to be transparent so what was his town like boswell modernization pushing the reset relations to. military conflict five days south the sense you were triggered by georgia. but. having finished the presidency you better switch because. it will work or leave the t.o.
5:27 pm
players distance twittering russia's economic story in the face of sanctions and tumbling oil prices raising the nation's salaries and benefits unless it's not a good mind to be sold and shut the lid. but you get what you might get but you know you might you. know limited but it is not. really what i think. some of the percent of russia said. but i'm still sure that she did not. look at you go but i did say do you want to say. yes if you really get the good deal with that. and that's all you need to know . that in just a bit. in other news tonight the british foreign secretary is making a last minute effort this why don't we try to stick to the iran nuclear deal so
5:28 pm
let's get the latest now from smeary cohen he's in washington for us good evening just tell us what's on a boris johnson's agenda. well the possibility of trump pulling out of the iran deal has sent the international community into a frenzy of course johnson is in d.c. trying to salvage the deal he's already met with secretary pompei and he's set to meet with other top officials during his visit but johnson wasn't able to speak to the president directly so he decided to deliver his message via television he went on to fox and friends which is apparently trump's favorite show. the president has been right to call attention to it but you couldn't do that without just throwing the baby out with the bathwater without scrapping the whole thing because if you do that you have to answer the question what next. now the german and french foreign ministers have stated that there's no justifiable reason to pull out of the deal
5:29 pm
president mccraw and chancellor merkel even visited washington to discuss the matter but they were unable to convince trump otherwise. isn't that we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and have no agreement. the iran view it is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize is that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geo political influence in syria and lebanon. the solid look robust verifiable guarantee that iran will not succumb. to denounce it without losing anything serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible. and we should acknowledge that the current agreement doesn't address. among other
5:30 pm
things not covered by the iran nuclear deal is iran's activity in the region. despite your opposition then to scrapping this deal destroying much domestic support if he wants to end this agreement. what believe it or not the republican chair of the house armed services committee advised him against leaving the deal let's take a look at what he had to say. i'm not necessarily opposed to sticking with this deal forever but you need to have a clearer idea of about next steps if we or going to pull out. well the deadline is coming up in a few days so we're just going to have to see what trump decides ok it is a question a question of waiting and seeing it thanks to me that was. in washington. we can get thoughts nothing.
