shouting loudly sing loudly and youth and using that using that stick to smash diplomatic north stick to smash diplomatic norms bombs have a look at what look at what he had to have to say to to the right with the right wing new cycling new site bright but right bought out. the right lot of conservative or a lot of conservatives throughout europe who have contacted me to say throughout europe who have contacted me to say they're feeling there is a resurgence got their feeling there is a resurgence going on going on i absolute i absolutely want sympathy wants him power i'll concede the conservatives throughout europe and it's a threat to europe other leaders. while. while i'm but for the bus with a grin the grin now is now as announced announced himself himself as the all right cheerleader in chief as the all right cheerleader in chief in europe in europe some people in some people in berlin ali in turkey turkey that see that such a shift see senior diplomatic political figure figure is in was involving himself

in the devolving a today himself and the day to day running a running of young of european drippy in politics politics. hiring king officials from me from me or fishes from me from me and each state and each states and. maybe needs to be a little maybe needs to be a little bit more careful careful i cannot imagine that i cannot imagine that i never never never never never ever learn from them fifty fifty years now and never never avar how do i know it's some. something similar similar. over the last the last ditch dk. is this dismiss this casting casting this this person should be pursued it should be so so no no of our call our country to country. we don't do this don't do this in the us and in the us and they did and they did do we shouldn't do the don't shouldn't do

that that. this is hard this is horrible and the u.s. government this is the u.s. government this is a shame the shame is very full sorry for that but that's my that but that's my opinion think. he should have been more diplomatic should have been more diplomatic and it and i can i believe they believe that the right of the right wing is not going is a right way to be pushing on the change of my way to be pushing. that that's i guess i wouldn't i wouldn't call this call this incident in an incident medlin in german affairs but as a decoy but as a diplomat implement his should be more should be more neutral when you troll. politicians on the titians on the left say the left say the on button but to the to the he's only been in the job for a month been in the job for a month to month shit like he's bags packed his bags and go home and go home. and

thus it is a red is a representative of the state and not a political entity to the state and not a political movements it's commitments. us some us some busting stick or no however no however does not behave or does not behave like a diplomat but more like a fall like a diplomat but more like a far right all right colonial colonial officer we were told we won't tolerate such behavior a such behavior as you. have this nation will have to hunt for and here it is not only it is not a brother only a breach of etiquette breach of etiquette it is also violate it is also a violation of the vienna convention on diplomatic mission of the vienna convention on diplomatic relations relations there is if there is an art in article forty one in which it is to call forty one in which it is very very clearly stated clearly stated that embassador that interest in basters shall not shall not interfere interfere and interfere in internal affair in all affairs he he has to has to go go because because he has broken too much he has broken too much porcelain in german

porcelain in germany any he has been has been real real hate for hate figure and that and that is not is not a good a good platform at form form for us or a us ambassador a super. this is the this isn't the first first scan scandal that middle that is the greatest the goodell's bells being involved in just all of that in just a few few days in two days into his tenure he's. the opes german been in business businesses with his with these these comic comments afterwards after washington going to and pulled out pulled out of the iran knew our nuclear to clear deal. as little trump as little trump said u.s. sank said u.s. sanctions will target critical sectors of iran's principal target critical sectors of iran's economy because the many german companies the german companies doing business in their own business in iran sudan why should wind. directions immediate since immediately. but ambassador so the grinnell grinnell's boss brush shoot

shoot from the from the hip style hips certainly dial certainly seems to be from the same playbook seems to be from the same playbook as president donald trump the president donald trump but he may well fire the main doubt that will find out the hard hard way to way they see the envoys are expected to act and envoys are expected to act and behave in a certain way we behave in a certain way whether they're at home in d.c. or whether they're at home in d.c. or here in the german capital here in the german capital peter all of a r.t. peter all of a r.t. . for for me you can bastard when you can bastard to syria syria and syria and bahrain piece of bahrain piece of fall forward it fails and i was ambassador bastards were announced comments comment force that's klein crossed the line. it's very very forthright it's right being it being a good thing i think the mathematics that rank rank. sure

sure. can we. add we can pick a. one sided i do a political it's a call to call the work these guys guys get they get there and absolutely and absolutely no no no they've been going through them through the diplomatic matter of course i took all my hole through a hole through that. difficult if not people not on the streets because the. standard standards to operate operate intervene in practice right because what you or i'm back to the more i'm back to the important board and your theatre of the country country. is really quite a be quite that question old an old for for an american and in america best they could ambassador in germany germany or in germany germany which is what you would be but they give you give a lot of light of. the united states state. but

welcome back. welcome back up of constitutional x. a group of constitutional experts have a pic of appeared in front of the usa in front of the u.s.s. senate to give than it to give a few on whether the prayer for you on whether the president should have a president should have additional power additional powers to wage wage war similar call so america has the hong details the details. the. for the for the authorization for the eyes ation for use of military use tariffs of military force has or always always been a subject of course has been a subject of controversy give controversy been that the constitution given that the

constitution requires congress to declare requires congress to declare war but their war the need the way the new e.u. and i.m.f. would fish if would a fairly traditionally transfer though transfer those powers to the powers to the president but with the president but it's all this talk about limit it with all this talk about limiting presidential presidents more power to wars center powers sen rand rand paul who chaired the sup at the subcommittee committee hearing said that the net that the new proposal would proposal would actually actually expand into presidential authority to wage the presidential authority to wage war war for the first war still at war seventeen years of interest from men years from now it came corker passes that there are always came corker passes and there are no living no limits on which are more or less. to be met if we know that there were least some of us who were least some of us who mourn thank you and thank you can see you bring that considering that it authorizes war get off and set rises war against at

least least eight eight groups that operate in groups over twenty different operate in over twenty different countries and then one of the panelists countries and then one of the panelists said that the new ad that the aversion would allow a new version would out the presell out the president didn't to declare claire war war on on any any group or country including the us a group or a country including the us but a president at the sub committee present at the subcommittee hearing here and we're both we're both done with a democrat i'm a craps and that some republicans and republicans and even one in the even one pending independent senator senator were all uniform all unified in fide in fact bashing the pushing the proposal arguing the pozole arguing that it wouldn't look at it wouldn't limit. limit trumps authority already to wage wage war but war but it's expanded than that let's let's check out what else the else the panelists had to say panelists had to say do i want my six do i want my sixteen year old sixteen year old going to war. going to war against al shabaab in somalia

against al-shabaab in somalia my son probably can't find some of we can't find on a map and on a map and play very very very few people even then there's very few people even in this room knows who know. shabaab is it's going to be vice it's going to be very hard to get a very hard to get a veto the veto put your proof majority to to take the name of name of an acute an accused used tear terrorist groups current nation or nation auction off that list and so it's going to be vos that list and so it's going to be virtually virtually impossible to simple to do to do that but that the fact that we're having this kind of a calm that we're having is sation having this kind of a conversation. about whether the press about whether the president president could kill could kill americans in americans in america or whether the president can get

whether the president can engage in perpetual war each and perpetual war and i don't matter how noble he believes that cause ill will he believes that causes speaks of peaks of volleyball umes hume's about how low about what how low we have so we have sunk and and believe it or not believe it or not there wasn't there really wasn't any really any of the a blind blind partisanship partisanship at this hearing but this hearing they can they criticize criticize size of both of both democrat democratic and and republic public and going to ministrations for a ministrations for abusing president presidential wants a war powers but some powers but senator sanders made us made a special fashion appearance appearance at the here at the hearing and he made a very good and he made a very convincing argument bringing up convince the sitting argument bringing up the three very different different instance instances when the u.s. when the u.s. in wes interview intervened in without congressional without congressional author

at author. to emphasize initiation to emphasize the need to needed to limit presidential so limit presidential authority already number one number one hundred fifty thousand nine hundred fifty three overthrow iran's a democratically re overthrow iran's a democratically elected leader a number two and through vietnam of course iran and three of course iraq sanders and are said that these are said strategy these travesty festes has happened because the american peak cuz the american people able and us congress west congress was missing was misled led by the by those that knows administrator saying that congress should be asking time that congress should be asking tougher questions for questions about the about the wars the wars the us the us isn't as involved with all of with. not just not just of babies debating the link the legality galatea of the wars the wars but the proposed what the proposal. was was also authored by

a senator senator corker who's been who's been brave rated by his own party for criticism by his own party for criticizing sizing trump romp and it when it was also is also altered by altered by senator senator tear tim kaine who came to hillary clinton clinton's running mate during running mate during the twenty sixteen a less extent election so these are two of trumps fear two of trump's fiercest christus critics critics on foreign policy on foreign policy but senator kerry but said payne has for you has for years years pushed pushed to limit presidential feel to limit presidential authority to wage war to warsaw wage war so it's a little bit so it's a little bit confused confusing is using as to why he authored one two to why he authored one to expand presidential war powers expand presidential war powers and some and some have mocking locking would have sent he asked if senator kaine had even read his own or came had even read his own bill but what both both corker of corker and cain had cain have. never stop short of criticize never stop short of

criticizing trumping tromso so it's difficult it's difficult as a builder to determine if they're in term and if their intention tension was to it was to actually actually prevent event war or if it or if it was it was just enough just another way to resist either way to resist but the ah but the underlying or lying question is should is this this while the while the legal legality ality of these e of these war sure should be should be discussed asc us will the press will the premise of imus of these will these wars also also be discussed discuss like us like sen around and around pol report recommend recommended. don't you mcadams executive director of the new mcadams executive directed the wrong pawn pull in will institute things been through chewed things the new law would affect all would effectively put coldly put worth out of a job out of a job. this is much this is much worse mothers much worse than the band the present

presidents current and current authority authority it grants what giants what judge judge engine apollo engine apollo tonto tonto called called an unconstitutional constitutional missional mish mash mash to allow us to allow the present president isn't to declare to declare war a war or forever or wars without conferences or wars without congress'. involvement whatsoever and never whatsoever is a huge huge disconnect connect check in washington in washington and cause congress to increase loves loves the war wars or is what we're sloshing war is what washington this mission is made of wood of war is or is washing washington's never watches number one export export has caused congress official officially throwing up its offer own guns and saying it's arms and saying you know what you know what we give we give it's it's all over all or over or we're just going to sit just

going to sit back back since it in front of the camera part of the camera collect a collect our pay our paychecks and and do nothing do nothing. and on friday friday that any plot any pay to peyton witan visit to china or to china journalists on the russian president whether he would be giving any gifts to his chinese counterpart. will you bring me give this year it won't be a surprise if i say in advance what exactly i'm bringing. you know. i told you before how the chinese businessman told me how chinese love russian ice cream i promised him i'd bring some over myself and so i brought you an entire box of ice cream as a gift. let

it be a secret between me and you i will whisper it to you later. the interview touched on various topics regional security birthdays and even football. there's no doubt that president casey will be bringing a gift along with him during his state visit to china on june the eighth to meet the president and seek to take it to a very good friends that president putin will chat a bit they with him as well. as chairman cieszyn pink is the only world leader with whom i have spent one of my birthdays i just have not had that kind of

relationship with anyone else and my schedule did not allow spending my birthday with any of my other foreign counterparts but i was able to do so with decision ping. now during this three day state visit the president facing the attend the shanghai cooperation organization seventh also known as the as c.e.o. and together these countries make up the fourth largest production of world g.d.p. and they also make up forty three percent of the world's population now it's also a security organization as well so the topic of north korea will no doubt simply come up but when talking about the korean peninsula in the instigator president putin said that they want to go down the path that will have to do use tensions between north korea. but i was told by the north korean leadership has taken unprecedented steps towards deescalation of tensions and frankly i did not expect that. i can understand the north korean leadership when they say that for the full denuclearization of the peninsula they need absolute guarantees of their security

and how else could it be it is not possible to imagine it any other way especially after the tragic events that happened in libya and iraq the north koreans remember them very well. because i still hope that this meeting a very brave and mature decision u.s. president donald trump has made to have direct contacts with north korean leader kim jong un will take place and we all expect a positive outcome during this interview and some stuff a chance to also present a piece and and some questions and they were obviously. well paul related thing is their football world cup which kicks off on the fourteenth. and that's a difficult one there are many title contenders there are latin american teams like argentina and brazil we also know that the german team showed great game at previous tournaments and a high quality of football was also demonstrated by the spanish team i am sure

there are going to be other title contenders but the strongest will win. i have a couple of footballers whom i consider extraordinary and who can obviously lay claim to the title among russian and soviet players it is live yes among foreign footballers it's paley well i also like mara dawna people. are just seven days to go before the fateful world cup kicks off in russia and as the excitement builds we have been sounding out perhaps the most famous football manager out there there's a marina on how he thinks the tournament will unfold. says mr moreno let's go through the group step by step whenever you're ready. i'm not
