but these parties are showing they will confront current migrant policies head on made for better or worse. great emotion our t. is reporting from sweden. the us has declassified nearly six hundred pages of private conversations between former american and russian presidents bill clinton and boris yeltsin they took place between one thousand nine hundred three and one thousand nine hundred nine when yeltsin left office election collusion nato expansion and the future russian president vladimir putin were among the many topics they discussed our senior correspondent comments now that we're at rock bottom in terms of relations between russia and the u.s. it's bad now we pine for what they were back when presidents could talk frankly joke laugh heck even collude for elections bill for my election campaign i urgently need for russia alone of two point five billion
1:31 am
dollars i'll check on this with the i.m.f. and with some of our friends and see what can be done those were the days when you could funnel billions to get your pals reelected real friendship right there clinton even helped yeltsin with a heart operation their wives now in the yeltsin and hillary clinton visited each other shopped together unfortunately it wasn't very equal friendship nine hundred ninety six the united states was strong russia was in its knees crime corruption stagnation it seemed to get the rule or end of every deal it remains a mistake for nato to move eastward nuclear in conventional arms cannot move eastward into new members to the borders of russia. i've told you no one is talking about a massive all out accelerated expansion two years later nearly a dozen european states were invited to join nato the czech republic hungry poland
1:32 am
bulgaria is still with latvia lithuania romania slovakia slovenia so yeltsin tried everything he even begged them let us have a verbal gentleman's agreement we would not write it down in the statement that no former soviet republics would enter nato i cannot sign any agreement without such language especially ukraine consider what a terrible message it would be were still organized against russia but there's a line across which we won't go pleading didn't work so we'll turn tried warnings russia will pull out of the agreement and consider it now and void i know what a terrible problem this is for you but i can't make the specific commitment you're asking for not even complaints could get through. you are conducting naval maneuvers near crimea it is as if we are training people in cuba how would you feel
1:33 am
it's unacceptable to us the spite of all that they remained friends even joke together three months of the pre-election race is taken its toll i feel somewhat tired i saw the picture of you dancing with the girls in the band and you looked wonderful i'm disappointed that no one sets up events like that for me in my campaign they were frank so frank in fact that there generals would get a little nervous yeah they discussed ditching their nuclear briefcases what if we were to agree giving up having to have our finger next to the button all the time perhaps we could agree that it's not necessary for us to carry that chima down chick well i'll have to think about this all we carry of course are the codes in the secure phone yes you and i are the only leaders you have to do this mr president given the responsibility of your office and president yeltsin's it makes more sense for the two of you to have these devices with you at all times it was
1:34 am
simpler in those days the world was younger and no one knew what the future held for example would the united states pull out the viewer up. the u.s. is not in europe europe should be the business of europeans russia is half european and half asian so you want asia to sure sure bill eventually will have to agree on all of this i don't think the europeans would like this very much not all but i'm a european moscow is in europe and i like it you can take all the other states and provide security to them i would take europe and provide them security well not i russia will bill i'm serious give your up to europe itself europe never felt as close to russia as it does now good days good friends and then yeltsin just up then left leaving behind a successor that clinton was sure he'd get along with shortly you will have
1:35 am
a meeting with mr putin i would like to tell you about him so you will know what kind of man he is he is a solid man who is kept well abreast of various subjects under his purview and he can easily have good relations and contact with people who are his partners who will win the election putin of course he's a democrat and he knows the west he's very smart he's tough he has an internal ramrods and he will when you do business together strange to think that most of the issues problems they discussed in those days are still the main themes of today nato expand european security trade and know when european security trade and no one's what's changed is that russia's grown up turns out it's much harder being friends when you're more equal. retailing giant amazon is in the firing line over working conditions for its american staff but one senator has a plan to balance things out
1:36 am
a strong moral new comeback to start international. politicians to do something to. put themselves on a lawyer. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some want to. let you go on to be for us to see what the full story of the
1:37 am
morning can people get. interested in the walls of our. first six. welcome back this is our international passenger jet overshot the runway and caught fire in southern russia in the early hours of saturday leaving eighteen people injured including three children the boeing plane operated by lines was unable to land for more than half an hour due to adverse weather conditions of such an airport when it finally touched down the plane skidded off the runway and into a riverbed but he was on off as more. a modification of
1:38 am
a boeing seven three seven operated by you it's a major russian airline mostly focusing on domestic flights will it make to a landing attempt here in the airports the first one was apparently hampered by the strong winds as you see it is all nice and sunny right now but it's night there was a vicious thunderstorm here downpour of rain and lightning bolts were going off literally every few seconds so the landing conditions were nowhere near good or perfect in that sense on the second attempt when the aircraft finally did touch the landing strip that was when things didn't go where they should have to basically the aircraft rolled past the end of the runway the pilots couldn't bring it to a stop one of these should have plunged into a river caught fire on one of the engines or one of the wings of the left wing is reported to have been completely burnt down now it is somewhat of a miracle i should say that there were no casualties when it comes to the people on
1:39 am
board of the plane and there was one death though and that is one of the airports work is apparently the man was one of the first responders on the scene of the crash and he was trying to help people get out of the burning plane and the. it is his heart just couldn't really take it up on the he died of a heart attack on sight so what is happening now of course the investigators are looking into what caused the would cause the tragedy with the tragedy was it the weather or was there a human factor involved too also with the russian transportation authority will be investigating and looking into how the airline is operating and how the airports here in sochi is operating but so far of course the most important thing is that nobody on board of that plane died. there is now a call for web retail giant amazon to be taxed to make up for low wages and poor working conditions of its staff in the united states senator bernie sanders says
1:40 am
some employees at the nine hundred billion dollars company are paid so little that they qualify for food stamps and he's american has more. the story of the american leftist movement bernie sanders is at war with amazon the world's largest online retailer accusing the company of not treating its workers fairly it is important to take a look at the power and influence that the answer is that all over this country amazon employees pay wages so low that they are having a real hard choice getting barred to go forced the. funded programs and you know who pays for those programs. this isn't just empty rhetoric either sanders announced that he'd be introducing legislation that would require these big corporations to cover all federal benefits their employees receive from the government like food stamps and public housing if they can't pay them a living wage he's also encouraging amazon employees to speak out one former employee claims she was forced to work with an injured foot was like
1:41 am
a something there was a loud crack i really feel it was an injury she really we don't seize on here for it's not stroller or anything so just goes to it just so the students like you through fish your shift could see their finish on your shift. cliff face that one time however amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos presented himself as an employer who truly cared about his employees and the environment they were working at i'm very proud of the culture that we have if you're given great customer experience. and there's the only way to do that is with happy people and now amazon has issued a response to sandra's criticism something that doesn't happen very often urging employees to write to the senator and prove him wrong senator sanders continues to make inaccurate and misleading accusations against amazon we are encouraging all employees to take senator sanders up on his request and respond with their actual
1:42 am
experience some did respond positively to the senator's tweets but that didn't change his mind he called on amazon to publish info on the number of employees it hires along without. really wages and benefits amazon says its median salary in the us is just over thirty four thousand dollars around what jeff bezos makes every ten seconds now imagine how much money he's made in the time i've taken to report this story. to syria now where the russian defense ministry says a terrorist attack on the ancient city of palmero has been thwarted the ministry said it had information that the militants two of whom were killed in a shootout with government troops in a town thirty six kilometers to the east were trained by instructors from the united states that comes on the back of the u.s. secretary of state accusing russia and president assad of escalating the syrian conflict might pump a also said civilians there would bear the brunt of the offensive against terror groups or he spoke to the syrian foreign minister about
1:43 am
the fight against us and his country. first of all the international community should recognize that. syrian territory and this syrian government must regain full control of it secondly as president assad said our priorities to liberate it live by that peacefully which we prefer or use in the military thirdly it is clear that. is listed as a terrorist organization by the united nations to protect. have opened and humanitarian corridor it has been open for two weeks and we have already received hundreds of families on these bases and i can say that if military action is considered necessary it will be only. those groups who are in favor of a settlement deal should voice their position and me their commitments in terms of
1:44 am
for reconciliation. has been a haven for rebels and their families evacuated from areas taken by the government almost three million people currently live in the province and the tense situation there has led to the west and russia exchanging strong rhetoric after the u.s. and its european allies warned syria against using chemical weapons in italy. and syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for it. so the russians to assert that the syrians have chemical weapons sensible people will not be used militarily useless means to draw the fire of three powerful countries upon themselves the russians are claiming and this one other groups are starting chemical weapons and planning an attack and you know i think that's more false flag type reporting to i'm going to be as a seen that before when they try to put the blame they try to put the onus on other
1:45 am
groups and we don't buy into that. the chemical weapons provoke ation which is being prepared is aimed at keeping them we believe these egotistical unilateral political games that counterproductive. investigative journalist rick sterlings has western nations don't want to see the highly trained foreign terrorists in syria returning to their home countries elements within the united states and nato for that matter want to prolong the conflict they basically want the syrian government to let the terrorists stay and it looked province we can just imagine what might pompei a would say if there were thousands of terrorists in oregon and washington states in the united states they wouldn't have any patience at all for that the situation is complicated right now it's difficult because there are thousands of foreign fighters there these are trained terrorists with a lot of battle experience and they've been supported by the west they've been supported by the gulf by including including turkey and none of the countries that
1:46 am
have supported the terrorists want them to come back to their own their own countries of course and it's kind of hypocritical for my pump aoe to criticize syria for trying to expel terrorists from its own its own territory right that doesn't from our back in about thirty four minutes more news stay with us and start intervention. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. four man are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all
1:47 am
