we get a lot of attention but most of it's positive my neighbors think my cats are pretty good gas lots of questions about them how difficult was it for you to adjust to your life and not just in russia but then. you know in provincial russia which has its own challenges the first six months were really kind of hard in part because i was alone in the dormitory once i got a cat and start making making friends and i had people to meet for to go visit their home on myself but i you know. it was fine. in many ways is not that much different from my hometown they came from a little town where there were more cows than people. and i sort of like the slower pace of life. the relationship between russia and the united states because from mediocre to bad to worse i think you know over the last. five or six years have you noticed any difference in how people relate to you how

they treat you no not really i think russians are pretty good at delineating the actions of a government and the actions of citizens. every now and then for example in victory day when we talk about who won the war i can't some push back you know they asked me did america say we won the war of course we said we won the war it's our textbook. but then you know there's some push back because of course the soviet losses were far greater and people are very proud of their relatives that served and died. i realized that there is you know a great pride in this in that the soviet union sacrifice was big but most americans probably don't and so some issues like that i've noticed some more pushback but overall most people know me most people are very friendly do you ever find yourself and a position of having to explain can down the road to found the actions of the american government because i think there is a tendency in russia to sort of tree or perceive every american as the

representative of the united states responsible for the policies of the country. well my students do know that i'm not a particularly large truck fan. so sometimes they will ask me about his policies i think just to see my reaction. for the most part know most people are pretty good about realizing that i'm not responsible for the actions of my government do even follow the american politics these days i do because i know my family still lives there i still have interests in the us most of it makes me sad to be perfectly on this one enduring thing that i noticed in how you describe this very gentle. english language interview says that you use a lot of collective pronouns we and ours and that that sounds very sweet but i wonder if this place really feel like home to your maybe a second home. i've been here six years i'm very fond of. the people are wonderful when we aren't under like four feet of snow the region is very beautiful

but there's talked about it before there's a lot of red tape but there's also a lot of a mess of hurdles and hustles i assume in your life. every day pretty much not speak i've gotten through a lot of those they are annoying when they crop up but they're rare and i really enjoy my students my kids are wonderful thing brush and the united states can never get along on the. level rather than personal well i hope so but i think a lot of people have a vested interest in the us having an enemy and currently russia is the most viable enemy well i guess and perhaps more and more it's both ways on both sides of. the.

when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is

terrifying is just no really hasn't and that we're even many of victims families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. us democratic party cries foul over another suspected hijacker but the culprit turns out to be close to home. also this morning donald trump issues a dial warning about damage to the u.s. economy if he's in page but for some it seems of falling out with the president is good for the bank. house around the world this morning from see if you can all that

has been dubbed the new chicago because of the skyrocketing crime right. now the controversial new state law in the easy honor of the u.s. sees activists arrested for the first time for testing against the construction of old pipeline effectively makes pipeline protests a felony but those convicted facing a long prison terms. i there are a good morning just today to the morning this is a friday the twenty fourth of august who are most go when it is kevin when you want to international first in the headlines and this morning the u.s. system across these uncovered the attempt to hide kids vote to a data base is just months of course from the midterm elections but all is not what it is the pay is this attempt is further proof that there are constant threats as

we head into the midterm elections and we must remain vigilant in order to prevent future attacks first it looked like just another meddling story in the endless stream of meddling reports that we've come across lately and the democratic party said that it had detected an attempt to hack its voter base and of course total panic ensued in the media check it out d.n.c. just confirm the n.b.c. news it has alerted authorities to an attempt to have all of their voter file in the takeaway really is is this continues to be a major issue democratic party's voter database targeted with a sophisticated hacking attempt to target really was the voter database any attack on a political party or campaign is important for us all to take seriously but there's a twist here it wasn't meddling or hacking it was just a test according to a source the democratic party or the democratic party of michigan used to volunteer hackers to test its systems security while this was confirmed by the national

committee the source also said that the state department did not notify the d.n.c. the national committee before hand let's take a look at what was said. we along with the partners who reports at the sites now believe it was built by a third party as part of a simulated fishing test the test which mimics several attributes of actual attacks on the democratic party's votes to follow was not authorized by the d.n.c. vote builder nor any other vendors now the timing of all of this is worth noting it's coming just as we're getting closer and closer to midterm elections and the media is going crazy frantically searching for external factors but they've turned a blind eye to domestic factors which could be where their answers are investigative reporter dave lindorff says election tampering claims a big sigh generated the meddling issue is. first of all i think

has been overblown in the first case you know when they found evidence of. you know russian based. organizations that were buying ads and things on facebook it was such a tiny amount during the two thousand and sixteen election that it was laughable so you know i think most people most sensible people realize that the election in two thousand and sixteen was not significantly impacted by meddling it was effected dramatically by really bad candidate running a really bad campaign in a scandal raging around the guilt of his former associates right now president trump's hit back in an interview fox news with a warning that any move towards his impeachment would lead to substantial financial losses for the u.s. . i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job if i ever got a ph i think the market would prayer. i think everybody would be very poor but he would fall out of favor with the president who seems that there's always

a silver lining is kind of moping reports and donald trump was a host on the reality t.v. show the apprentice he really took the show's iconic catchphrase to heart you're fired you're fired you're fired. but now that donald trump is the president getting fired by him isn't exactly a career setback take the case of michael cohen this is michael collins lawyer urging people to support michael cohen with an online fundraiser for hoping that he will get some help from the american people so we can continue to feed the audience isn't it they don't appear ready to donate some people might be laughing but the cash is flowing and then there's peter strock the disk raise former f.b.i. agent who sent him to trump messages to his mistress now he's raising money online he's already raised four hundred forty three thousand dollars hauffe a million dollars on a go fund me just for hating donald trump has cancer patients on that site that are

like hey we hate him too can you pay for my treatments i know you really hate him we could tell and then there's andrew mckay the f.b.i. director who was fired without benefits now nick cave has already managed to raise five hundred thirty nine thousand dollars and if you want to get more creative than crowd funding you can always write a book i'm rosa manigault newman's new book on hinged tells stories from inside the white house thirty four thousand copies were sold within the first ten days and before on the rose it was james komi the fired f.b.i. director now he wrote a book about donald trump and within the first week six hundred thousand copies flew off the shelf writing books about donald trump is a smart move this year every single title on the new york times nonfiction bestseller. this has been about donald trump so if donald trump yells his natori is catch phrase that you don't sweat it it could be a ticket to making more money than he paid you to begin with caleb oppen r.t.

new york. legal and media analyst lionel believes that betraying donald trump's really good way to secure some financial security these days what people have to realize one of the bout is a donald trump has been more on a source of jobs for more people who have done nothing more than become or exist as a disgruntled either former trope of fan or employer associate i mean right now it is a cottage industry to see how much you can hate donald trump be trade donald trump and cash in in the mean time i have never seen any thing like this and obsession a fixation and obsessive compulsive disorder a focused habituation i can think of no other way no no psychological construct

that can best describe this unnatural and unhealthy. focused rage and not just. that well let me clarify not over a particular policy program platform vision idea no it's just have. french police have described the city of grenoble near the as the french chicago these days have expressed great concern over the rocketing crime rate and seen even some french politicians try to avoid the place. hello. weird so many things happen. we are afraid you're afraid to go out in the evening why we can

steal your jewelry we can grab your bag we have never seen anything like that the police used to be more tough but now even they are afraid. to out loud or little. so out of their lives to do the crime rate is significant in granada compared to cities of the same size the city is plagued with drug trafficking there's not a single week without a knife attack or a criminal settling their schools. had to have renewed the fact that interior minister came to visit because in the assam region we thought he would visit grenoble even for a short visit. in the future and we will of course make additional efforts in this area. click on that so i'm talking preserve phrases because there are japanese that both male

and female would just come and rob them in broad daylight and no one even moves because they're scared to death the police are afraid of those crooks because they have kalashnikovs they're on to the teeth with the weapons of war and the municipal police have nothing by the national police i believe it is the criminals who are the law in this city. washington's voiced concern over took his decision to buy a russian made a defense system is even hinted at the possibility of sanctions against any of its nato allies with similar ideas. you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that it is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially

purchase s. four hundred said it would trigger carrots is not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world the russian made s. four hundred missile systems capable of hitting multiple high speed aerial targets within a range of four hundred kilometers now the deal signed by russia last year is worth two point five billion dollars and the systems will be.
