12:00 am
if. i'm. yeah but if you have. like to welcome the viewers and subscribers of our team today we're talking to dmitry peskov spokesman for the russian president and this interview is special because mr pass cover great to meet with us on the eve of one of the most important events in global politics this year i'm referring of course to the summit between vladimir putin and donald trump in the capital of finland thank you mr pascoe of thank you first let me ask you does it make any sense to talk to a person who can break his promises when we talk about global politics for example the principle of america first or the promise to stop wars all over the world and not to start new ones. with the principle of this principle works for any
12:01 am
head of state any head of state when talking to their foreign counterparts has to take care of the interests of their states and our president is quite pragmatic and consistent he always says that he cares about the national interest of russia above everything else that's why he understands the reciprocal beliefs of donald trump and of course such an approach can only be viable if accompanied by another principle this approach has to be based on a commitment to develop mutually beneficial corporation taking into account the interests of the other countries as well and these factors together can create the right environment cooperation and this is what we hope to achieve at the summit we hope to see the first steps towards overcoming the current critical situation in a country's relations. well what i was referring to is that donald trump promised to remain committed to this principle but many believe that he has violated the principle not. let's not forget that donald trump is quite popular as
12:02 am
president of the united states and many people in the u.s. have a very positive impression of what he's done as president and there's ongoing investigations or internal affairs of the. he states the elements of those investigations that have to do with russia puzzling to us but let's not talk about that right now presidents trump and putin respect each other and they get along well so far they've only had a brief opportunities to talk to me this time we hope that they will have a more lengthy conversation. and i leave. staying on that subject a few days ago donald trump was asked if he thinks that mr putin is his friend or foe and he did not answer this question directly he used the word competitor instead what do you think about this remark or do you see donald trump as a competitor. i mean. them conclude in south korea pretty familiar really competition is a good thing i would say competition helps the world to develop but there is one part competition has to be fair we need fair competition in politics and in the
12:03 am
global economy and unfortunately we see the competition is not always fair if you look at the recent situation where u.s. officials commented on north stream to this is a purely commercial project and those comments were a glaring example of unfair competition and i would be your premier to give the. concrete. concrete opera will you discuss this issue specifically during the summit and are you ready to withstand the pressure that the u.s. administration the white house may put on germany in this respect. yes thank you and probably name of course we are worried by these comments let's not forget the north stream too is an international project it's not even russian german or german russian it's a multinational enterprise which has many shareholders among them very big companies from various countries and let's put it this way threatening these shareholders as well as threatening russia and germany with sanctions if this project goes further these threats are
12:04 am
a big concern there is no clear agenda it will be created by the heads of states as they go along. yes. trump's visit to brussels the intensity of contact between the u.s. president and other heads of state has been quite high recently would you compared to what mr putin does in full closely which people donald trump talks to especially before this meeting. but he's. the only car compared to the. period of creation. of the region personally protest of i mean of course there was the nato summit before the meeting and this is highly important event you know very well we think of our native and of course we follow all the talks involving u.s. presidents and we analyze the information that we get but why would we compare them mr trump has his own international agenda mr putin has his these are two major
12:05 am
powers in the world and we cannot be limited to our borders because our interests go all over the globe this is only natural. for him with. his name. with them or the but do you see any competition there and why is it that today u.s. allies and nato specifically are so worried by the fact that mr trump is going to meet with mr putin. governor bush why they're worried is their business not ours russia has never sought to use its relations its interactions with certain countries against other countries against third party states this is never been the case as such concerns sound rather strange russia and the united states have a special responsibility to maintain strategic stability and global security so common sense tells us that all countries especially european countries should be interested in seeing the normalization of relations between moscow and washington with his interest in the middle. income. mr
12:06 am
pascoe if you said that the agenda is not set in concrete. i mean you know it will be formulated as the two presidents meeting it over the government of president yet we have seen some leaks in the media about the joint statement that's currently being coordinated so have you really made any proposals on that joint statement is it true that there are some disagreements over this statement already look at the body. we just witnessed is a really this is not true according we've made no plans for a joint statement at this actually there is no requirement to issue a joint statement there will be a joint press conference where they will make their own statements and when you wish to bits. of course. of course we understand that this bilateral press conference has not taken place yet this is an outstanding event definitely and preparations for such an event is it also special to you.
12:07 am
put in the this is a regular process. as press conferences quite often with his foreign counterparts but of course this press conference is going to be quite an important one we do need to coordinate technical issues who will go first to august second there will be questions from the media from both countries so we do have a common understanding on the technical. procedures of this press conference and we hope you will provide plenty of interesting information to all the journalists waiting for this meeting to conclude in for my to make their. way to contain your speech. or. that of the meeting was announced immediately after mr bolton's visit to moscow so why did he come here to just give the green light for some eight or are there some preliminary agreements which may come to light later in helsinki and it was a lot about the. conversion. this was
12:08 am
a very important visit to prepare for the summit we compared notes on the entire scope of issues in our two countries relations identified where we have common ground where it isn't possible to have common ground and where we don't have common ground at the moment but we may find some later and while the presidents will talk in helsinki we expect lavrov and pompei to have their own separate talks this will also be an important event of the summit presently me and. the. western journalists are going on about some possible big bargaining game that could on ravel in helsinki should we be watching out for anything like that at all but does moscow have any bargaining chips for the americans many of. the word bargaining is absolutely inappropriate instead positions will be compared and they'll be clarifications to confirm or dispel any fees as you know our relations are not quite support and russia was not the one who initiated this downturn we hope there
12:09 am
is a political will to normalize relations. so rumors again in the american media that russia might hand edward snowden to u.s. authorities have nothing to do with reality. for him to think anything with. absolutely no those claims are entirely untrue is out of the question. i would. yes i get that it was a hoarder so why are you so stubborn when it comes to even the slightest possibility of us getting crimea some believe it's donald trump who might be ready to start discussing the matter from a different perspective like other western politicians maybe it's worth having a go with him when they seem spoil it all but the most go at it. from a different story there is only one way to discuss this and continually saying until russia gives crimea back there will be no this repeating this like some kind
12:10 am
of mantra is absolutely illogical is a road to nowhere it has no perspective and nothing will come of it over it amuses me because with more on what if mr trump is the one to stop this is there any hope of that. you know we are not and never have been wearing bros tinted glasses but we can hope for that. with for good but i'm donald trump has already announced that he has a big present for mr putin has the russian president prepared any kind of were turned gift that i think that the. or here puckering your mom was president well i can tell you yes but as usual there will be some exchange of gifts but this will not be the main point of the meeting. with. forgot about all of them by me. apart from the headlines we saw after donald trump's visit to brussels for the nato summit we were at about the defense budget of this organization being boosted
12:11 am
how we respond to that is out there. right here to remember him from. nato was an instrument of confrontation it was constructed specifically for the purposes of confrontation from the very beginning this is been the rationale behind the alliance so when the alliance openly calls russia or a potential enemy increases its budget this indicates that russia needs to stay alert and it does. not make you. so you're not talking about taking any particular measures yet. as you know we do have parity thanks to our new innovations our new weapons and systems the purpose of which is to secure nuclear parity this is an element of mutual terry's and it guarantees global nuclear security given other threats coming from nato you can be assured that our armed forces and our defense industry are
12:12 am
taking all necessary measures. in your pride you mean we. can go to the. syrian national flag is flying over the city of dura the city where anti assad protests are riginal you started now that i saw has been defeated and the syrian government controls most of the country what will be moscow's next steps. are that up north where. you are right i still has been largely defeated even though there are still some pockets in syria where we see remnants of terrorist groups with other countries turning a blind eye to that which the syrian army continues its operations against these groups and that's a perfectly normal process the ultimate goal of all that is of political and military resolution of the syrian conflict you know of course about the constitutional committee this is part of the comprehensive approach that should advance the peace process just in our process and so on but the news corp that's
12:13 am
the president now. well the meeting with donald trump is of particular interest in that context do you expect any pressure from the united states on iran's presence in syria and iran and syria. no. of course syria will be discussed by the two presidents we all know what washington thinks about iran but at the same time iran is a good partner to us in terms of trade economic cooperation and political dialogue so this will not be an easy issue. in. a national and of course you also have to take into account israel's interests how are you planning to maintain a proper balance between all those players this is another factor that affects what russia does in the region to deal with the here was neighbors to brazilian put him president putin stays on top of these things you may have noticed them the last few
12:14 am
days he met with iranian special envoy and received a message from the spiritual leader of iran and from the president of the country and just a few days earlier he had talks of prime minister netanyahu so this is a very complex web of contacts which is ultimately intended to minimize any negative consequences from the irreconcilable differences between the sides which could affect the prospects for a political settlement in syria may be mediocre it is not going to be pretty screwed or good when you're here with us occasionally let's move on to a different subject what car will mr putin use to move around and will his motorcade go there. you'll see these new cars new vehicles they're not mass produced not yet at least in the autumn have the company will start taking orders from mass produced cars and sometime next year they will be available for purchase as we start to have more and more limited capable of transporting heads of states will be able to use them for a wide range of purposes as for the car the president will be writing in you'll see
12:15 am
for yourself if you get. me that he gave to the many thanks mr pascal thank you.
12:16 am
well i think hiding this catastrophe are falling in britain for the past fifteen years or so was its connection to the e.u. and the ability to have its own car say and yet passport rights into the e.u.
12:17 am
to take those away and you have essentially greece on steroids and all those banks in the e.u. in america are going to attack the u.k. on marsa plate and drive into bankruptcy. it's hard to imagine but decades after the war a nazi don't it was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies great intel had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company granted to him develop thalidomide a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything ball you know she said she's just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never
12:18 am
apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to be right to be for us this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of the how. question. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand islands. to join judges. eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. the
12:19 am
russian w.b. . under russian stuff. show you how. long the crimea bridge was built. with those the construction moving you need to transport. that will help them out of crimea. most of those you know won't go for more familiar a bit of the boat's crew. seemed wrong. rowles just don't call. me. yet to shape out just because the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
12:20 am
the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education as being supplanted by the right to access to education low it's high education is becoming just another product that can be bolts and sold so there's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you're good. luck on is also the kind of fellow i couldn't. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was more now on an extremely more higher education the new global economic wall. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six
