the giant took the chance to push its own problems. and as the syrian army gears up to retake the rebel held on claims of western media outlets and warned of a civilian massacre the same outlets fail to mention that much of the area is under the control of hardline islamist groups accuse. the other two lovers watching in northern michigan traverse city or just here in moscow this is international and we are certainly glad to have you with us. all right sanctions were high on the agenda in washington this tuesday with yet more calls to tighten restrictions against russia over a series of issues for which moscow is being blamed for the british foreign secretary whose son who is on his first official visit to the u.s.

urged the western partners to ramp up the pressure on russia. those who do. use need to know that there will always be a serious price to pay if red lines across but today the united kingdom its allies to go further by calling on the european union to ensure its sanctions against russia a comprehensive and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the u.s. we heard him speak to the u.s. peace institute he made his remarks and essentially he called for more hostility to russia in aspen and it's interesting because his speech was actually leaked to the press ahead of time so people knew what he was going to say before he said it then he followed the draft of his speech that was leaked pretty pretty closely and now just two weeks ago we saw a new sanctions imposed on russia by the united states in response to the

accusation about the involvement in the chemical weapons attack now the latest measures will come into rounds those sanctions are they limit financing and exports they specifically banned the sale of national security goods that are sensitive like technology the the second round the tougher round that will come into force in november. could include the banking sector restrictions on imports and it would actually suspend diplomatic relation there and actually terminate flights between the two countries now moscow has said that this amounts to economic warfare against russia this is what has been the response i suppose that i'm not saying not support of russia will consider retaliate remasters in response to yet more adverse steps from washington richard in light of these the confirmation by the u.s. administration of its read and that is to keep improving relations with russia just looks ridiculous here it's a blatant hypocrisy yes it was possible but the if something for which something

like a restriction of the operations of russian banks to foreign currency. it can be called for what it is a declaration of economic need and it will be necessary to respond to this war with economic political if necessary because of the message you now it's still an open question whether the usa the u.k. and the european union will all fall into line against russia when we are as of yet having waiting to see any solid evidence to back up the accusations that are justifying these new sanctions and economic attacks meanwhile the u.s. treasury house frozen millions of dollars worth of russian assets or washington correspondents america has more samir it's getting harder to keep up with the rate of sanctions washington's imposing what do we know about this latest statement from the treasury well the treasury department did explain it all and its statement saying that these efforts have been taken in order to counter russia's efforts to

challenge the u.s. and its allies listing a few examples including the occupation of crimea subverting western democracy its neighboring the assad regime just to name a few now in the statement to the treasury department also reiterated how well they're saying they go away saying quote the treasury's russia sanctions program is among our most effective and impactful since january twenty seventh this administration has sanctioned two hundred seventeen russian related individuals and entities for a broad range of activities check out what else was the bread and brazenness of russia's malign conduct demands a firm and vigorous response our actions are imposing an unprecedented level of financial pressure on those supporting the kremlin's malign agenda and on the sectors of the russian economy though russia's malign activities continue its adventurism undoubtedly has been checked by the knowledge that we can bring even

more economic pain to bear using our powerful range of authorities and the. we will not hesitate to do so if its conduct does not demonstrably and significantly change now while the sanctions are effective that's what the us claims they come at a pretty steep price not only do they impact the us but they also impact europe and the european commission had a few words of course u.s. policies are impacting on german foreign trade individual companies are grinding their teeth and are severely affected german companies fear a short term loss of ongoing business operations worth hundreds of millions of euros furthermore the short term terminations of contracts with suppliers for example could lead to production losses along the entire production chain since a replacement of equal quality has to be found first. america first cannot mean that europe's interests come last. the fear is that american policy will restrict

the behavior of european companies and impact in their view policymaking with the. europe's energy supply is a matter for you and not the united states of america even though trump says that he wants to improve relations with russia it seems that that washington doesn't really want that to happen. one of the malign activities that's upsetting washington right now is alleged russian hacking and microsoft claims it has thwarted a fresh attack the tech giant says the targets were the u.s. senate and a number of conservative think tanks but mainstream outlets reporting on microsoft findings rushed to draw their usual conclusion about who was behind it all temps by russia to hack u.s. senate and conservative groups russian military operation the intelligence operation the russian military intelligence you the next to go down of takes us through microsoft's claims. microsoft is ringing the alarm russians are added again

apparently how has set up a bunch of websites doppelganger is of those belonging to prominent political groups and the u.s. senate this technique is known as fishing designed to lure unsuspecting users to pages that look just like the real thing and then basically steal their data according to microsoft that they recognize this tactic from a few years back we saw this during the united states general election in twenty sixteen last major in the french presidential election and now in a broadening way as americans are preparing for the november midterm elections. midterms are a big deal in the states for those of you unfamiliar that's elections in congress with close to all seats up for grabs this november for russians to mess it up would be the second worst thing after rigging the presidential race except microsoft's panic post has raised doubts among the i.t.

crowd one you don't have to be a hacker let alone a member of any organization to create a fake website or the senate or even the president all they need is an internet connection about thirty minutes of spare time and about fifty bucks job done to microsoft insists it's the in a tourist hacker group known as fancy bears behind their websites mimicking but those fifty bucks should have concealed the domain owner's identity so it's still not entirely clear how microsoft is pinning the blame here still even if it is fancy but let's just say their connection to the kremlin is still subject to debate it's not a hard fact three and probably the most important microsoft has written in black and white that they have no evidence the websites were actually used for any attacks moreover they couldn't pinpoint good target or targets for any planned attacks to summarize microsoft was driven by

a gut feeling that something bad's going to happen like when you see someone buying a knife and assuming they're going to use it as a weapon that is something russia pointed out in its official response again we have to state what was thought to be obvious despite our desire it's impossible to comment on statements made without any evidence and that are clearly created for public attention it's sad that a big international company that successfully worked for a long time in the russian market has to be a part of the witch hunt now has in the washington but microsoft insists the threat is there and. so how convenient already has a solution on standby microsoft account god will be provided for free to come pains and candidates it will alert them of potential threats and educate how to keep the network secure so a threat or no threat microsoft has nothing to lose but this new product of theirs

won't market itself. switching gears now the syrian army appears to be gearing up for an offensive on the country's last major rebel stronghold italy.
