but. you said. yes. but. do you. feel so much. you. know what is it.

that sort of sia. that sort of says. the u.s. congress is about to decide whether to widen the war powers of donald trump a new bill allows the president to decide whom and where to fight with critics fearing capitol hill is formally giving away its controls of the bill that fierce resistance on wednesday. we've gone through seventeen years of war. you would drop this proposal will have one hundred seventy more a loaded gun in a desk drawer of the president ready for him to take it out and shoot it whatever it wants and it will put war making on autopilot do i want my sixteen year old going to war against al shabaab in somalia my boys have never lived in a country that has not been good for both of them my son probably can't find somalia on a map and probably very few people even in this room know who all shabaab is came

korver basswood there are no limits on war let it be known that there were at least some of us who warned. the new bill seeks to replace the two thousand and one war authorization act among other things it grants the president the right to include new groups on the terrorist list without informing the public interest only though one of the legislators behind the bill claimed that congress has been granting a license to wage war for too long and some us media have scoffed at legislators saying they don't even know what's in their own bill despite the bill extending the president's war powers here's what the bill's authors think about donald trump. the president has great difficulty with three. men he's proven himself. unable to rouse the occasion you know who i don't trust. i wonder if you will trust. donald doubted lee they like the idea of the president

being some sort of a king go to war when he wishes what a disconnect here you have these two and many others in washington calling trump an a mentally unstable and all sorts of even worse things and then you want to give him the authority to go to war when he wants it's crazy war is what washington is made of war is washington's number one export. fishley throwing up its arms and saying you know what we give it all over we're just going to. sit in front of the camera collect our paychecks and do nothing. for the u.k. now but the house of lords has been stung with a new memo on its transgressions according to media reports the list includes shouting orders will conversation and falling asleep on his part of boyko explains why a midday nothing parliament it's not such a good idea. most members of the house of lords which is the upper chamber of

the british parliament have been around the block for quite some time the average age in the lords chamber is the nine and from the breadth of their experience the lords job is to scrutinise british law and that can be pretty tiring so much so that even the most hard working and conscientiously lords and politicians can get a little. over there that the lord said now is why i sort of jumping in very quickly let's go back to the russian president vladimir putin's annual televised q. and a with the public. my position clear on this multiple times this is a message to contain russia just like the so called sanctions. these.

allegations. provide the. foundation for them. to take. containment measures they feel that. it would contain russia because they see russia as a threat they see russia. which is what i feel is the. wrong policy because it's not in the interest of the world that to contain a new one you need to engage in constructive collaboration and. bring more benefits for the global economy and for the vast majority of national community. and we're seeing that some of our part. coming to see that you can see what has been happening in some of the your western countries missy so what politicians have been

saying that they need to be normal relations with russia which politicians do have their own goals but again they should not. take measures and some of our partners are realizing that hope it will be a two way street to. put an end of that what do you think when will and that. sequence of degree day should be seen other things in our history when we were in catholic but there were some short periods of time when we had really good relations so what's your assessment but do you expect to see. i can't give you any deadlines. so i can tell you what are the conditions for it it's obvious for russia where we need to defend our interests and need to do it in a continuous where not in a rude manner still both in the car to me and security. and we

have been doing it and will continue to defend our interests but we've been always looking for a compromise solutions to this pressure will only sees when our partners will realize that their methods are inefficient they don't work on their country productive and harmful. for everyone and that they would have to reckon with the interests of russia. and we have one message after the topic so will we see this third world war. most of. them because remember einstein he said. i don't know. what will be the methods of world war three the fourth world war. waged with sticks and stones so the real. in that it's the third will mean the end of civilization.

realisation this idea she. did to her from the danish dangerous steps. to globally. you know we were in the. remember we've been living in a new period of relative peace following the second world war and we know that there are regional conflicts out there you had the vietnam war of the korean war right now we have some of the conflicts in the middle east. we have iraq libya and other hot spots we've never had any global conflicts why. why you limit your global military power is established a strategic parity. and my find my words. which i think of it was. appropriate but

that's true the fear is that each country have instilled the opponents with respect now once the u.s. withdrew from the a.b.m. treaty that it was actually an attempt to disrupt this strategic parity and we've been responding to it and i mentioned that in my state of the nation address but it beautiful one of the now the new armaments so we will restore the parity we need to think about it we need to find a contemporary solution for national of the might. but a way of collaboration it's high time to sit down at the negotiating table not just think about it too. this is. a contemporary architecture of european security system. and one more question from our web site at six thousand

asks the following thing. and he's insisting take action against. why they say you can study it in your mother russian language and you sanctions can you impose any sanctions now as a said to an all in favor of an e.u. let you know actual sanctions if they don't work then exacerbate the situation. for now talking of the situation. in the baltic countries we've been raising that issue with the. storage of the baltic states repeatedly you can really imagine the modern civilized society. hundreds of thousands of people who are called citizens i mean do we have any such good care to green international law non-citizen people without citizenship we have people with no citizenship or

people with dual citizenship or to have never had such a notion such a category as a normal citizen it's something invented by the countries that were invented to a limited human rights of those people who reside of those territories. but the means that we should take to defend the interest of our compatriots but again we should need to take appropriate measures so that we don't exacerbate the situation that we are now pursuing a policy of dialogue with our partners from the european union and i'm sure that at one point it would feel ashamed and embarrassed they've been point pointing. human rights violations beyond the u. but they should. these violations. inside the e.u. go. well there's the russian saying. you

see a speck. of the year i do your opponent but you don't see a log in your own i begin will continue taking all the necessary measures bert's we are harming the people who are living there now again let's turn to our audience with these three more phone calls and video calls and. thank you carol we need not only governors and ministers are here we also have a number of famous people the figures the leaders of social movements and of social life and they're right at this point we have. member of parliament and the famous right going off your life asking question but after the mister put in the pretty good afternoon. i am from the region are we more we are here we have a huge there's a shift far and. i'm from moscow myself but i've come here to participate my

question is as follows i think that russia has always been. a country of free expression a world free thinking and. this debate for the sake of truth has always being very important for everyone and we've been seeing a lot of alarming signals there are some people of. very much i'm sorry for jumping in once again as the russian president will address the q. and a the annual q. and a will continue now for at least a couple of hours still to come so we will keep ducking and ducking out here on r.t. international for the meantime just for now to some other stories from here. for the past three days israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been on a european tour lobbying the leaders of germany france and the u.k. to drop their support for the iran nuclear deal as efforts appear to have been in vain. but i've been very consistent about my opposition to the. to this

nuclear deal that we believe that iran deal is an opportunity for a certain time it's better than what we had before you along with france and germany ok continues to be this is the best route to preventing it we're getting. despite this unity among european leaders some e.u. companies and institutions are playing to a different tune the european investment bank for example seems to be siding with washington as i don't know bushell explains e.u. solidarity nothing but a house of cards after europe giants from energy behemoths top to the makers of persia and c toy in a bit this scrapping billion euro iran projects to brute the european investment bank owned by yes the twenty eight members of the e.u. of. supports the e.u. but ignoring sanctions is incompatible with its status of course and it gets worse

brussels is painful new u.s. tariffs on europe's metal however some see all this as a calming plan business these days especially european union in american business is whether their bangs automobile companies i t. companies any other business they're so interconnected that america will continue to use that leverage to try to penalize some of the european companies who may be doing business with iran charmer tehran again breaking up the transatlantic marriage e.u. ministers write an angry open letter demanding america exempts them from iran's sanctions as close allies we expect that the extraterritorial effects of u.s. secondary sanctions will not be enforced on e.u. entities and individuals and the united states will thus respect our political

decision and the good faith of our economic operators within the e.u. legal territory. and while we await washington's reaction there's the small matter of friday's g seven or is that g six plus one it will be a g six plus one the united states have decided to raise dettori some steel and. that decision is unjustified this is very unfortunate it is unfortunate because it will. cause a lot of damage to our steel and aluminum industry it is unfortunate because this is further weakening the transatlantic relations the european union wanted to avoid this situation you wouldn't want to be your accra right now descent in the ranks as your top firms betray the party line or the world dodging bullets from the trump administration. in the u.k. where the house of lords has been stung with a new memo on its transgressions according to media reports the list includes

shouting order ball conversation and falling asleep parties a poly worker takes a closer look. most members of the house of lords which is the upper chamber of the british parliament have been around the block for quite some time the average age in the lords chamber is the nine and from the breadth of their experience the lord's job is to scrutinise british law and that can be pretty tiring so much so that even the most hard working and conscientious lords and politician can get back we go now back into a president putin's annual televised q. and a let's have a listen. but we were you not so sure canada they are in the trade with the united states and you've seen quite recently. chancellor of germany and french president but maybe not publicly but do they say that that time this

senator should be dropped all they're waiting for some approval from the from washington to do that just about. what you think you conversations. we do have those private conversations we'll talk to them which is a for france germany austria. and we're going to go to many other european countries and again we have very good cooperation we've. and we have a good right now the study to make public statements on that so one of the ministers of the french government recently. we could not. allow the us to become the policeman of the world the former finance minister of germany publicly. germany has never been a sovereign state following nineteen. forty five. everyone's.

seeing what's happening. you've got to understand what's happening but our partners never thought that. counterproductive policy related with sanctions and trade restrictions would never applied to them they would never be affected but this is what is happening to steel aluminum. not just for europe or canada and mexico have been affected too these are sanctions. as just. their use of the law in other language but. why why have they the targets it have the next crimea as some of our partners. know. mattick national interests of the us the where you are pretty good by the current administration what you mean it was a good i mean the most and the most innovative when we go back to what i said we

need to. have a shared interpretation then a shared rules both in security and economic cooperation. when you minute carmen and is standing common definition common rules. back in two thousand and seven or. so when with this image that's because i'm in my room or i was talking at the security conference and it's being often quote statements and back then many of my colleagues got angry they said it was too tough they said it was a no prove it but what was i talking about as i say in the us so what does that have been using it was beyond the border. and this is unacceptable that that's exactly what's happening to time right now our european and other

partners are affected all victims why because no one wanted to listen back then when you know you know when it happened anything to reverse that trend or nip it in the bud and well what are you get when you get. so did you food served. when you were with but he does which is of the question of whether well yeah i wanted to bring up a joke from one of the famous movies but i don't want to get too rude but again. we don't want to make jokes about it it's not for jerks we are partners realizing that it's time to sit down at the negotiating table and start talking about carmen rules that would allow the global economy to develop efficiently. and torrie q. anti-riot. three. sashes a rush i think that larger than there is now trying to complete where the united states and some of the amount of sanctions and the harshness the rhetoric and

probably they are on the first place at this point first to try to achieve the right to organize the world cup they failed after that. when you deal with this script. yeah. i do like to quote one of the questions from the specific dos of a seed and what the. family means to enter russia will we respond to that or not. made my point clear several times before. military. nerve agent was used against those people but well if that were true then people would have died on the sparse instantly within a several minutes but fortunately that didn't take place and it means that we are dealing with something else and not

a military grade nerve agent what we would like to get a's access to first of all to the russian citizens. in the first place and to be allowed to take part in the investigation but your book and before that happens it's hard to comment on anything you're more interested in continuing the good but if you are the topic of an tired russian referee in great britain i think we can ask you could pretty much think about the problems our entrepreneurs experiencing in the world because they are all the suffering crushing ways because they are being under too much pressure these days they're being intimidated and everything of let's take. for instance one more i just know advisers of those who are rich can also cries and movie or what but can you say. big russian businessman. several years ago

it's one of the public meetings with our business business leaders but again i don't want to bring up the good of the phrase for bassem it was a bit rude. but i warned them he's got them with him he wouldn't if i told them that we might with them they might have faced such a scenario and advised them back then. there's a little bittersweet capital to keep their money. keep the money in those places where the money to use them to develop the russian economy to keep them safe for them with back in two thousand and eight i mean could you just knew you when you made a week where the global economy was hit with a crisis center outside crisis you know russia was affected too many of the russian companies were. up in the finance in which you have. taken out from

western banks they experienced a situation that's known as margin call. and. collateral was worth was. worth less and they had to. repay those loans or to add more property collateral or else they could have lost that. property and again we injected extra money to the bank. and we actually over those. places for me of many of the companies said ok we can hand over those companies to the state but i was the head of the government back then and i said no we're just taking over the loans and you'll be able to repay those loans to us and that's what happened the situation leg went back to normal they bought back the loans and they remain the owners of the prices

and the government. the government definitely benefited from it. deal with it but that's what we did that's the russian government did it but yes we did in relation to. we felt worse to teach strategically important to the russian national interest but who would help the businessman abroad there is just because you persecute. daughter and pressurize now that's a big mistake of the western authorities all those restrictions about the persecution of the russian business as they lead to you and i short of a dollar if you have us denominated transactions. problems with that there would disrupt the trust because everyone's been looking at it. disrupts the trust towards the economic policy of the major powerhouses of the

world the u.s. is the universal reserve currency of the world view or has been trying to be. something like that but again. the u.s. dollar is the main universal. reserve currency if the u.s. restricts use denominated transactions. over. trust confidence in the currency and then again we would like to get some short term political gains in the long term that undermines that you trust to what's their policy and everyone's thinking ok we need a new universal reserve currency maybe we need to move to the transactions national currencies i'm sure that's counterproductive that's harmful for them in particular and for the entire global economy that's will pass those times will pass

up and. tell you we were a band. of gold one thing but. looking at the questions on the screen should. we need to help. other business with the business. plan themselves in a predicament but there's another question we will look at when will those thieves and then there are names will finally move their money back to russia if you. are not talking about people who have been engaged in any violations now we're talking about people who've earned their money in the legitimate way a lawful way but both categories should rather move their money back and you might remember we announced we introduced capital amany stage twice

that we could do it with the business community in the wrong floors shortcomings but we're ready to streamline this process i'm sure the business community would respond to it in appropriate manner he said. this will now be said that we have one more right one more off on the line yes indeed. yes we've been receiving but there for two years in a row huge amount of questions which have to do the situation in ukraine and we pursued this question from people and from russia from ukraine from other states but at this point our editors turned their attention. to a question from the. very well what is happening in says let's look to you that's always the video from good afternoon members of her the mapping the advisor to the head of the of the dawn is republic and there is a feeling that ukraine army will be using the opportunity of the world cup to conduct while skill.
