and there was his thinking that it would change but it hasn't changed not because of his willpower it that because he hasn't been able to get anywhere in his administration it behaves been stuck in gridlock from the beginning opposition has been severe also because of russia now because the u.s. commando skewering lead has been the excuse the has been attacked profoundly for russia there's no evidence as yet i've seen that indicates that russia is in any collusion with mr donald trump i mean he's not this meant suring candidate and i thought there was a surprisingly stupid story but it got a lot of traction in america which worries me and shows you how frankly stupid the american. voter can be if you believe that i don't believe most of them do but i could i don't know that the polling is off on it doesn't make sense if you're saying no one that is elected gets to change the system does it even in america what for in america yeah well that's what mr putin says at the end of the interview

if you remember he says he's been through four presidents and i asked him what's changed and he said basically nothing so he's indicating that there's a bureaucracy he call that if you're ocracy in america they call it a deep state of bureaucracy that has been resistant to change certainly the policies towards russia have for the most part united states been highly negative since one thousand nine hundred seventy since the revolution when mr wilson president wilson said american troops to siberia to join the british expeditionary force. i am.

welcome back to sophie and co now the other day i sat down with the legendary filmmaker oliver stone in a moscow bookstore and asked him whether a second cold war was just a figure of speech or as to or more to it it's a figure of speech for sure cold war it's a. very dangerous war it's on the you know you can even say that the original cold war was really a cold war where there were so many proxy wars that were fought in the name of fighting communism you like vietnam. among others korea. you wonder how many people have died in the name of that cold war and you know millions of the third world people have been hurt after all over africa there was

battles. and certainly in them we've seen now in the middle east we've seen enormous amount of damage. the specter of communism doesn't work anymore the united states was not able to use that but there is and haran carry over in fact and i'm sure that in the minds of those congressmen when they vote against it for the expansion of russians actions in their mind it's some form of the old russia and they can't get it they can't get them to want to weigh in the eighty's in the ninety's how come it came back so strongly i mean what is going to take for that paradigm to disappear from american mind generation was quite surprised by that i was in fact shocked i talking to mr gorbachev was one of the most wonderful moments of my life it was i felt in one thousand nine hundred ninety in my lifetime was a spring springtime of hope a new feeling that this thing was going to change you know that the the wall came down. all the europe eastern european countries expressed love bloodless

revolution really a bloodless revolution and russia. relatively both. and i was and mr gorbachev you know was not the crook in america we saw him as a lion as a hero and in this country of course he was seen as a weak man who had lost control of this of this empire so it's a whole different view of it and i've been see mr gorbachev since then i've been through his criticisms of mr putin and i have to say the last time i saw him he said that mr putin is the guy for now whatever they say because america has violated that compact he made in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine that nato would not go east one inch if the germany's were united he allowed for that. that has not happened nato has been accelerated under the you know the under the american under clinton and and bush and obama so and mr gorbachev as pointed out

also the the what mr putin says is they greedy on the abrogation of the a.b.m. treaty by the by bush by mr bush in two thousand and one was a vast mistake it and it undermines the nationals the the balance of power that exists between the two countries on top of that you have the american support putin the scent of terrorists in the caucasus on top of that you have opposing points of view on ukraine obviously and mr putin states his case very clearly in this book what his case is which americans don't hear and on top of that you have syria which again it's amazing to me how under reported that war is. orci has covered what about yemen aren't you. reported to be on the list i want to talk more about this and the context in which this book came out fills in

a weird way that when the actual cold wars in place it was just clean cut you know you had two sides to where against each other now for me it's so much more scarier because the world is paul or and there's so much house around and everyone's trying to pull it on themselves. and all those conflicts that you just mentioned and many more that we didn't mention are going on because of that and we don't understand how they can and or if they can and it's always messy. you're young like hell you must be near thunder not that young but. i guess you know to me the original cold war was very confusing and not so clean us against them in fact i went to vietnam as a young man believing that we were fighting communism in other words there were a lot of disguises and when you look back at the whole history of that period as we tried to do an untold history the united states i would have to tell you that it's

very clear that it was a farce that the united states really pulled the wool over the world's eyes and declaring and making the soviet union the fall guy after having won world war two they made them the fall guy for war tutu and equated hitler with stalin and also all this stuff going on it comes out of the this misunderstanding of what that first cold war was america has spent a fortune fighting this war and it's deprived its own people us the american people of better education better system more security health welfare all these things that are giving us problems now this social net that's disappearing could have come out of that instead of beans the the money being spent on the cold war so we paid a huge price for it and it never let up i remember in eighty nine there was talk of a peace dividend they talk of it what happened to the peace dividend a few weeks after the berlin wall fell mr bush sr was. going

into iraq sending five hundred thousand troops to the middle east and i pointed out it was a big thing because we went when we sent five hundred thousand troops to vietnam was actually under lyndon johnson that was a huge deal and the press made a. big big number of that not not since world war two that we knew those numbers were too big we were fighting with too many men we don't it won't work it was too big and what happened we forgot about it reagan mr reagan helped a lot with his campaign to forget the vietnam war and we were sending a half million men again abroad to fight in the middle east we never got out of the middle east i made a movie about it called w in which dick cheney the dick cheney's character have to ask what what's our exit policy says there is no exit and the truth is we haven't there is no exit to iraq where here those five hundred thousand men in one form or

another have never left the middle east so this is heartbreaking stuff if you have any sense of history. i knew it was a mistake i thought the iraq war one was a huge mistake i thought there was plenty of room to negotiate when films like that come out w for instance are at the untold history of the united states they want to even mention how as a percent in america when you pretty much denounce a lot of troops and facts in american history i can't tell you it's easy but i think it's the most some of the most important work i've done in my life i'm very proud of those two films i paid a price for because i guess some people would you know they don't consider me in the debate but neither do they consider people like noam chomsky so there is no center in the united states political discourse it's all center right ever since the clinton camp people came into power the center right has become the right and there's no peace party that exists in my country i don't see any evidence of it

except this third party that is so criticized the green party among others arrows make fun of it. you know why i don't know me so well a year in america i always had the feeling the democrats would the at least we were concerned about peace now that seems to have been squandered that feeling is squandered and i don't sense any any sense of consensus the only one who did was bernie sanders and if you remember correctly he very rarely mentioned foreign policy he stayed away from it because he knew that was a third rail for him and he was to socialistic for america to actually well i don't know much because america may hand up in relatively has to go at least may have to go more socialistic in order to survive because if things fall apart and we continue to have crises after crises stock market explosions and so forth and meltdowns there has to be right and there were no way to trump to change something but remember mr obama song what was it seven hundred fifty billion dollars into the

economy that's i would call that a socialist move. so you know where the united states is going it's a very it's interesting i think i'm going to try to stick around and see because i think that's a great question it sounds i mean just to be on the sidelines and see what happens it could get really ugly and be pretty nasty too in terms of casualties and of course united states i would skip i'm scares me in the sense that they might lose it's self control and out of the sense of panic and fear attack. this concept that russia is responsible for everything isn't saying but it's very easy to to resort to that kind of nineteen early one nine hundred fifty s. primitivism like a joe mccarthy i was told when i was a young boy the soviets are in our schools they're in our colleges they are there they're creeping into our system where the soviets are going to take us over without even a war that was i heard this from serious people. you know you have to allow that

this mentality exists and when you're around a vigilante mob that hangs people it's scary because you common sense goes out the window it's the first thing and decency and humanity you go out the window so it scares me that mentality see now that you know it's a lot about politics you know politicians and you know something about scripts give me a scenario of how this should work out. their reality are you asking for a movie from my point of view from the american side it's not going to happen any other way and that's what's frightening because i don't see that russia can take any initiative at this point except for surrender would completely all your nuclear arms and have a regime change mr putin resigns which is insane so to happen because the russian people support him i don't see any way out right now. no third parties do exist they come into being there's de gaulle's that come up from charles de gaulle you

hope for a french leader or a european leader i was very disappointed in merkel throughout this whole process because she knows better she knows the real story of ukraine she she doesn't fall for it because her foreign minister was involved they knew they knew what was going was a coup d'etat they train and but in other words there's has to be some kind of european leader the kind of thing you know to america and i think you know that's one way of putting it mr de gaulle i was around when mr goss said no to america that was quite really have friends you know look young to you i mean they have. their own way of going to go is really a proud man and proud for france. one hopes for that but there's other ways that the blocks can be broken there's of course china that's a huge number but the united states has to hit a hard line on china doesn't say it like it does say it about russia but the reason that we're our mean korea to the degree that we are and japan is truly against the

chinese to encircle the chinese. but i worry about korea because we again have so much or so many arms we put into japan and korea. you know these things can but it can blow up in a second it's like a tinderbox. well it doesn't look good at your age i would like to live out the rest of my life you know what do you do what do you do you bringing attention to it that's the best you can do right now. to my view you should make at movie about that and you shouldn't certainly not in your career i think it was an increase of four hundred s. when i did this because i did care and i want to i want i want peace to have a chance and i think every time i talk to mr putin over those thirty hours i never sensed any other desire in his part but to have a balance of power respect for each other sovereignty and a sense of peace in the world here and that's what people don't accept from him they can't believe that this man who was they consider a villain is an average of peace. oliver stone thank you very much i was right

there still sitting in. there or think. america was never great was founded on the rape in the murder. nothing changed so we said in. response to these situations that we're dealing with. people just sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing

children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. because you have got an artist that's not the little simple they want to take on most of enter and i've learned the lessons from this about but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities how to best friends i asked band.

listen you know no i've ended up my son i get i'm in a lot of class and i want that. they had water they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all of the political rivals because both of you who feel to be about to be to go with a said food stamp of many couples won't. care which of the puts concluded bills and spawn both both of both of you up of a few of the hope of the. american

groups are outnumbered by a counter protest outside the white house and washington becomes on the one year anniversary of the deadly unite the right rally in charlottesville. his car into a crowd protest. contest in the u.s. reveals that even an eleven year old interfere with the american election infrastructure in the result. we can call them in your own name if you want to make a living. controversial nation state law is up for debate jewish citizens claim they face discrimination while supporters say it defends israel's identity. this law says that this land is only for half of the population and

half would be discriminated against i think that what you just heard is the exact example of why we needed to have a person who is not an israeli citizen these bashing my country israel all citizens are equal under the law. i just turned one pm here in moscow my name is kevin watching out international outrage cuba coming to this from first in this rally group some white nationalists has been swarmed by a counter protest outside the white house in washington it was held exactly a year to the day after the infamous unite the right rally in charlottesville virginia that soul bit clashes between the rival groups you may recall. there.

was. broke a. rib . so we're here in lafayette park and as you can see we're surrounded by a huge anti-racist demonstration a crowd of thousands is denouncing the twenty four or so white supremacy white nationalists whatever you want to call them that have gathered directly in front of the white house now there are thousands of people here representing a very broad group of organizations and we got church groups that are out here black nationalist groups marxists far leftists anarchists we've seen the anti far a lot of them assembled actually a lot of anti fun folks assembled wearing gas masks helmets almost as if they're

ready for some kind of confrontation now we're also hearing the sound of police helicopters that are flying above however at the moment it appears that no scuffles have broken out we have not heard any reports of injuries very wide variety of causes represented here in front of the white house says thousands of people have come out other not unified around much but when it comes to opposing the ku klux klan opposing the white nationalists that is one thing that has brought all these people together. r.t. washington d.c. but because of the deadly unrest in charlottesville different political divisions in the u.s. is a reminder of how obama unfolded the warning you may find some of these pictures disturbing from that report.

terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was tears this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many sites on many sites. but now there's a twist to the story a year off the tragedy some american politicians are now suggesting that in fact it was russia that was somehow behind this unrest. i sat in a closed session briefing probably two months ago about charlottesville with the director of the f.b.i. amongst others and asked if russian intermeddling had to do with fomenting the flames of what happened in charlottesville i was told yes it did but he says he got

it from an f.b.i. briefing which was not classified now look if he has information if the f b i has information i'd love to hear it so what erica but it seems kind of bizarre to me that a congressman who says he's not running for reelection because he's having personal problems all of a sudden with a couple of months left in his term takes the opportunity on c.n.n. which will do anything to bash trump and to accuse russia of anything he knows something that nobody has ever heard of until this point that that was russia's fault last year well then let's the where is the information if it's not classified tell us everything you found out so i don't i don't believe that this information let's see it so are people buying this so we asked people in washington with their thoughts on the claim that russia could be behind the racial divisions witnessed in the u.s. . do you buy in the idea that it's russia's fault that the people having their rally over there is somehow the fault of russia russian bought tacker facebook yet not even

a little and why do you think that's so big in the mainstream media why are they pushing that so hard. that's a good question i don't know i think it kind of it's comforting to hear that this is russia's fault and not something that's been the wrong with america since the foundation of this country it's nice to say it's russia's fault and it's trumps fault and that once trump is gone and once you know the elections are more secure and the race is not a fade away because the russian bots or the russian hackers are no longer influencing people to be racist but that's not true it's just a nice story you can tell yourself say this racism and this is the white supremacy the united states is not the fault of the united states the fault of rush hour you know whatever else the media is kind of using the russia stuff as a way to. go after the laughs as they're saying all these left wing activists are being. you know misled by russia or russia is behind it and you know even though there are genuine grievances to be had with you know all sorts of things that and russia plays a minor role if any in you know on the internet do you buy the idea that all this

racism and all this division and all these protests are all caused by russia. no i honestly think it's just what i want to highlight is the intersectionality of what happened today like there were a small amount of white supremacists here but there are a lot of people who are coming to counter protest them so i don't blame russia well i was just a run of straw poll but the russia did it montrose of course but i quit for some time now even russophobe has gotten increasingly out of the swallow.

i. mean time with a new still in the states a hacking contest has revealed that it doesn't take a top notch rushing computer expert to get into america's election infrastructure turns out in fact seems an eleven year old can do it perfectly well as you leap to trying to report. learn more about the twenty hacking contest that's what the link says and yes it's from a real website and the contests are real too it's for kids and it's not being held in russia wide this is america anyway meet the winner eleven year old audrey you need. to meet me we can cause in the our own name if we want to make a living we won the election and it just took her ten minutes to hack a replica of an election office website in one of the battleground states. these are members of congress they work hard to approve budget grants to sort out

election cyber security the one for twenty teeing was three hundred eighty million bucks these are child hackers i mean contestants they tap their keyboards to prove that within minutes america's election systems are a piece of garbage thirty five out of the thirty nine youngsters taking part this year were able to do just that so how come there haven't been any warnings for a grown up specialists well actually there have always been the writing machine is you know eighteen different states and it's extremely easy to get an advantage because it's grind it's mostly it's a let me show you how quick it is that a little under two minutes. you don't need anything else to do that. and now i have. full advantage it looks like you don't have to turn pro to be a meddling master and outsmart security efforts worth hundreds of.
