russia accusedr the ukraine of watching military attack in crimea. to find out more on the state of tension, i spoke to the ukraine ambassador to the u.s., and i asked him, how has the conflict .nvolved in the last two years valeriy chaly: we approach it the attempt to maintain the international border. anynt to remind you compromise was with a friendship with russia, and all compromise, would not lead us russia is not the tension. it is the occupation and the territory. the u.n.country's in reject this attempt, and still we are at front for a restoring international law. unfortunately from my point of view, there is compromise -- a compromise, but not enough of a position of international community -- community by means. means leavematic russia open to another attack on the eastern part of ukraine. the main problem -- which means should be used to restore international order, territorial integrity? are -- maybe it is good. it was one of the reasons we have lost 10,000 in the region, and the ukrainian people are asking us what we should do, what we pl

yanukovych ran basically through russia to escape probably being put in prison back in the ukraine. well, now the current government in ukraine formed this anti-corruption bureau which basically is looking back at the government and uncovering tons and tons of corruption and possible under the table cash payments. in the course of the investigation, paul manafort's name has come up. why? because his name has shown up 22 times on these ledgers. they have 841 pages of handwritten notes that seem to be showing payouts to various members of the party. they are all very detailed. and although we don't see manafort's name on the documents that have been released, we are told by the government agency there that at 22 times, paul manafort's name appears next to $12.7 million in what they are saying was designated payments. that specific term, designated payments, is made because they can't really tell if paul manafort got that money or not. >> okay. i want to read the statement from paul manafort. he says he's never taken any cash payments. this is a statement. he said the simplest answer is

katty: we are on the border between ukraine and crimea, where tensions are rising amid concerns about what russia really wants. and they were some of jazz music's greatest acts, thanks to one photographer, the old new york scene is still swinging. katty: welcome to our viewers on public television in america and also around the globe. what would a trump administration policy for tackling terrorism really look like? that is the question the republican nominee set out to answer while taking aim at his rival hillary clinton. from extreme vetting process that would restrict those with hostile attitudes to the united states to limiting access to the internet for those spreading radical messages, he laid out his worldview. jane o'brien reports. jane: mr. trump's first foreign policy speech as the republican nominee focused squarely on fighting what he called radical islamic terrorism , a war he wants to wage on multiple fronts including ideological tests for immigrants. mr. trump: i call it extreme vetting. i call it extreme, extreme vetting. our country has enough problems. we don't need m

and trump's campaign aides are accused of failing to disclose lobbying efforts on behalf of of the ukraine. they said that the campaign chairman and his deputy orchestrated a covert lobbying effort on behalf of the ukraine's ruling political parties. the goal was to sway u.s. political opinion in favor of the pro-russian government. been criticized for his stance on russian president vladimir putin. steve: a scattered shower off to the south of the d.c. metro, south of the beltway, towards triangle and south of dale city. not amounting to a whole lot. this will fizzle out in the next 15, 20 minutes. tomorrow, lower 90's. a good deal of sunshine, so grab your sunglasses. coming up, the beach outlook, day outlook. alison: we will see you then, steve. hundreds of ellicott city residents and workers to conveyance of longer hours to work towards recovering from last month's flood. today was the first of five days where they are allowed to work from dawn until dusk. it was also the first time cars were allowed downtown since the july 13 flood. the entire area will shut down again for an entire m

what do you make of the story of paul manafort's dealing in ukraine? >> well, i mean, i think objectively you can say that he was hired, it appears, to do a makeover for the party of regions. the party of regions is important because that, of course, was the party that yanokovic was in. it was known as kind of this party that was aligned with oligarchs and kind of criminal elements that had a very bad reputation. and also mr. yanokovic, himself, was very let's call him rough around the edges and needed some sanding off. so apparently the job was to create a better candidate, somebody who'd come across more smoothly, who would talk about economics. and would say the right things to the people in the eastern and the southern parts of ukraine which are kind of more russian-speaking areas. so that doesn't surprise me. i think the difficulty here is that they have this ledger, which really doesn't prove anything at this point. you have to say it doesn't prove that he took the money. he didn't sign it apparently. whereas other people who took the money did si

the show. but first we go to ukraine. er since russia's annexation of the crimean peninsula two years ago and the subsequent military conflict in eastern ukraine, tensions have been extremely high between the two countries. the fragile ceasefire that was in place may now be crumbling amid a recent upsurge in violence. in today's report, we take a look at the situation of refugees from russia, people whose criticism of their government forced them to flee their homes and seek a new life in neighboring ukraine. reporter: little remains of alexei vetrov's former life in nizhny novorod. some pictures of demonstrations, some files on his laptop. alexei tells us that he's the one carrying the poster. >> nostalgia and bitterness. that's what i feel when i look at these pictures. i've had to move on. my old life is over. reporter: alexei fled russia two years ago. eventually he ended up in this hostel in kyiv, ukraine. each of the rooms is shared by 10 people. for his one and a half square meters alexei pays 40 euros a month in re

the lightning round. new tensions in ukraine and crimea. you contain putting troops on combat alert on the russian border after accused of sending across the border two russian soldiers died. who here is the ukraine representative to the united nations speaking about that today. >> president putin had made a statement in which he accused ukraine in making provocations along the border with crimea, which sounds absolutely ridiculous. >> charles, you want to touch that one? >> it's completely ridiculous. it's reminiscent. hitler started world war ii by invading poland and his subterfuge was, his story was that the polls had actually attacked germany. it's completely implausible. this is putin who in the waning days of the bush administration detached two provinces from georgia. he sees weakness in the white house, a president who has -- wouldn't even give defensive weapons to ukraine. the europeans want to abolish sanctions. he has now made up with turkey. he is in a very strong position. he would expect no resistance. i think he is ready to m

obama tough talk on russia and the ukraine,hey've taken crimea and continued to push. that's what i said. so donald trump now trying to spin this as he was criticizing the current administration's lack of ability to do anything to kind of block vladimir putin and the annexation of crimea and that will change when he is president of the united states. what has come across, though, and to clinton officials, but also republican and foreign policy, it paired for a moment he wasn't totally sure exactly what was going on. he also appeared to echo a talking point that vladimir putin has put out as the rationale for his annexation of crimea, when he said it seemed like people were supportive of that. that's exactly what vladimir putin has said for annexing crime me yeah. it is important to know. u.s. officials and their allies have condemned this. they've sanctioned russia and the clinton campaign out with a statement, what he is talking about. russia is already in ukraine. does he not know that. what else doesn't he know. this is scar

they haven't send them over the uniform but it is to destabilize ukraine. to give russia a past and to raise question about the american alliance relationships is a major foreign policy statement. >> and americans for so many years, when we immigrated russia was enmy number one. many trump supporters don't view putin to be a great threat to the u.s. as isis and what have you. i think what you were talking about is something many trump supporters don't see as a big issue. >> and romney said russia would be one of the greatest threats to world stability. >> he played more into the clinton campaign's hands than almost anything i could imagine him doing. >> yes. sam stein, you wanted to get in? >> yes. he said we had nothing to do with this provision. it is cause for giving ukraine defensive weaponry. they said we didn't have anything to do with that. it is not true. he has two rnc sources saying that it was in fact the trump campaign that pulled that provision out of the platform. it kind of gets you to the point. it is a difficult one for journalists. we have

-- endorsed by the ukraine people, that recognize the rights of majorities and minorities in the ukrainee does the trump team see vladmir putin as dangerous? >> well i think that, yes, you know he has proven to be dangerous in the past, but that doesn't mean we can't reconcile our differences with us. we rec kyle aisled differences decades ago with japan and germany. they were truly dangerous. we're reconciling different in vietnam. it is time to reconcile differences to reduce danger and threat. i think it is possible with mr. trump as our president and commander-in-chief to do. bill: what you're describing for us is a new world order, right? >> or a different world order. i don't know that i like the term new world order but one evolving given the threats and alliances that are part of the new reality. bill: fascinating stuff. we'll see what donald trump has to say about this today in ohio if it comes up. we're watching twitter feed for more reaction a bit earlier. chuck, thank you for your time, sir. we hope you come back. >> thank you, bill. i enjoyed it. bill: thank you, sir. elizab

they're not going into ukraine the person said but they're already in ukraine.at was two years ago i mean, do you want to go back, you want to have world war iii to get it back? that was during obama's watch? so during obama's watch -- you know all the tough guy statements, right? so he talks about donald trump is not strong on russia. first of all, i have to say this, wouldn't it be great if we got along with russia? am i wrong in saying that wouldn't it be great? [ cheers and applause ] you know, russia, like us, has nuclear weapons, folks. it would be really nice if we got along with russia and others that we don't get along with right now and wouldn't it be nice if we teamed up with russia and others, including surrounding states and maybe nato and we knocked the hell out of isis and got rid of these people? wouldn't that be nice? [ cheers and applause ] but even beyond that, even beyond that putin said some very good things about me. people say oh, trump's going to be weak with putin because putin is saying nice things about me. okay, all right. and i said

savchenko has called for more prisoner exchanges in the war in eastern ukraine. s end, she wants to talk with the separatists, a controversial stance in ukraine. >> politicians and pr managers are starting to cast aspersions on me, saying i did this and that wrong. and people are starting to believe them and to criticize me. but that's fine. i'm absolutely relaxed about it. i'm sure they'll also throw rocks at me in the future. >> that sounds like a sense of foreboding. the defiant pilot knows her popularity could suddenly change into mistrust and rejection. in politics, especially ukrainian politics, that's common enough. >> whenever i'm in spain, i always get quite confused about when the shops open and close. that's because a lot of shopkeepers pull down the shutters during the day to go for an afternoon siesta. nowadays, big international firms tend to ditch the siesta, so that they're not out of step with people abroad. but in western spain people feel like they are permanently out of synch with their neighbors just over the other side of the border in portug

the name gave $12.7 million for his work for the former president of ukraine. ffin is outfront. this is going to be stunning, if true. obviously, he is a crucial part of donald trump's efforts to become president. you have been going through the documents. what are investigators saying right now? >> this is all coming from this black ledger. it's part of ukraine's corruption bureau, which is looking into the excess and corruption of the former and much hated government of ukraine. he was a campaign adviser. his name is being wrapped up in all of this. according to "the new york times," some of his furniture and personal items could be found in his office as recently as may. now, they are getting the information on this from 841 pages of all handwritten documents, a record of party expenditures. this is what the handwritten ledgers look like, dates amounts and for what like phone bills and cars. you are not going to see maniforts name. we are told from the ukraine agency in the 100 pages, there are exceptions of his name linked with a corresponding $12.7 million

the lightning round. new tensions in ukraine and crimea. putting troops on combat alert on the russian border after accused of sending across the border two russian soldiers died. who here is the ukraine representative to the united nations speaking about that today. >> president putin had made a statement in which he accused ukraine in making provocations along the border with crimea, which sounds absolutely ridiculous. >> charles, you want to touch that one? >> it's completely ridiculous. it's reminiscent. hitler started world war ii by invading poland and his subterfuge was, his story was that the polls had actually attacked germany. it's completely implausible. this is putin who in the waning days of the bush administration detached two provinces from georgia. he sees weakness in the white house, a president who has -- wouldn't even give defensive weapons to ukraine. the europeans want to abolish sanctions. he has now made up with turkey. he is in a very strong position. he would expect no resistance. i think he is ready to make a move.

we have the ukraine 2026 bond in white. we have egypt 2025 in blue. iraq 2028 in purple. ghana inpink. take us through the market reaction. >> there's been a big flareup in tensions between russia and ukraine that started last week when putin said he was going to crack down on terrorist attacks in crimea. you can see ukrainian bond market has suffered, especially in the past week, one of the worst performing in the world. i think of the past few days, it is overtaken -- the yield have overtaken iraq's. >> it is not just in the bond markets we are seeing this impact. we talked about the ruble. take us through what has happened there and what the outlook is as well. >> the ruble has not suffered quite so badly as the ukrainian assets. what is interesting is the ruble , usually it would be rallying at the moment because oil is rallying. oil is not following the big gains in oil and that is a sign that political risk is really returning back to the russian market, which has not really been factored in with investors the past year as tensions and ukraine died down. >> fixturing

paul manafort worked for the past government of ukraine. s now under investigation for what it did with a lot of money, a lot of corruption. there's an actual anti-corruption bureau that was begun by the government of ukraine to look at this. they began looking and dug up a black ledger they call it. it's 841 pages, handwritten, anderson, detailing what appears to be under the table payoffs to various people in and around the former ukraine government. now, on those documents, we are told, 22 times between the years 2007 and 2012, paul manafort's name comes up. he was doing consulting work over there. correspondent to that name are $12.7 million in what they say designated payments. the issue is, were these payments efficient made? what do they represent? we don't have an answer to that. the cautionary note from the anti-corruption bureau is there's no signature by paul manafort next to the payments so they believe there's a chance he didn't sign for the cash. it's part of a much, much bigger government corruption investigation going on in t

why does it matter at home what putin is doing with the military in the ukraine? is out of the putin p y playbo playbook. he creates instability and using false claims to create it. and then justifies the use of his military and deflects theous of that military. that was false claims in crimia and seized and annexed it. and false claims in europe and i am sorry, i said eastern europe. this play bock is coming again. he wants the instability and notes inially a military objective but he is attacking in three locations. he creates instability and he uses it as a leverage for negotiations to it stop the instability and bring it to it a halt. and in the intro is 100 percent accurate. sanctions have hurt putin and he wants them removed and this is an attempt to go after that. and at home, he has elections coming in duma and local regional elections and his party is up for election. he wants a decisive victory and seen that he is in control. >> how much has it to do with putin would rather with president obama who he has steam rolled rather than roll the dice and see wh

counter to the obama administration which imposed economic sanctions against russiaor an exing the ukraine territory two years ago. it is now believed that the russian government was responsible for the theft of research and e-mails of the democratic national committee and hacking into other campaign computer systems. while the obama administration has stopped short of a formal accusation cia director john brennan said friday that quote interference in the u.s. election process is a very very serious matter. joining me now is david sanger. he's the national security correspondent for the "new york times" and has been reporting on this story and other allied stories i'm pleased to have him here at the table. welcome. >> it's good to be with you. >> rose: why, in terms of what the russians are doing. we'll talk about that and then we'll talk about trump's interview about ukraine and other areas. why would they do, you know, who did it and why did they do it is the first question. and then the third question is how do we retaliate. >> all fascinating issues. to some degree, this is a story th

trump to push them out for the pup support, and it is not just a problem for ukraine, but mr. s trying to clarify that he says that i can tell you that mr. putin is not going in ukraine and he saying that i am in president in crimea, and now understanding the position of donald trump about ukraine, what would he do to keep russia out? >> once again, we appreciate the bipartisan report, and the strong position of republicans including senators and i met with them, and mr. trump's te teams, and everybody told me that every single way we keep this position, and we are rejecting any annexation of your territory of crimea from the russian side, but i am concerned that this is a shake of the position by the candidate, and this is the most problem. i do not want to interrupt or be involved in the election, and it is the american people who will decide who is going to be the president of the united states, but we are counting that the united states will be having a predictable leadership, and predictable foreign policy, and that is the main part of our side, and as a diplomat, i want t

russia is not going into the ukraine. he said, tell me, though, and some of the newspapers -- actually some covered it very well and very accurate, most of them. but some of them said, oh, therefore, trump didn't know about crimea being taken a couple years before. of course i knew about that. but that's gone. crimea is gone. they took that during obama's administration. you know, obama says that well, trump might be friendly with putin. which i'm not. i don't know putin. but they're coming up with this narrative like i'd be weak with putin. well, he's the one during his term that the -- you know, crimea was gone. that was during his term. right now it's a mess over there also in terms of ukraine. but i said that, and so many people tried to misinterpret it. but i will say this. a lot of the press, a lot of media said it right. and of course what i meant and what i think was very clear -- and i think george stephanopoulos would say that because i discussed it with him -- is we -- if i was president, they're not going in.

they also fought off, they say, an incursion by the ukraine on the border between crimea and the ukraineven showed on tv somebody they say they nabbed as well as crude bombs may say that i was going to use. this a russian soldier and a russian agent killed in the clashes. ukraine for its part is denying everything and the us says there's no proof of what happened. what is sure is that there is military activity with russian president vladimir putin on thursday saying there would definitely be a response , troops are on the move, up to that de facto border on the russian side. also stepping up a series of military exercises, the ukraine too has their troops on the other side of the border on combat ready . are we looking at another face-off? >> what does this all mean what happens next? >> that's what analysts are trying to figure out, is this the real thing or some political feigning ? putin has used in the past alleged incidents to trigger new offenses so he could do it again but more likely according to the experts, these are political moves . there are new ukraine peace talks next mon

about cash payments to donald trump's paul will join us and explain how he followed the money to the ukraine. and we'll be joined by senator ron widen because he might have figured out a way for us all to get a look at donald trump's tax returns. but first the latest polls show hillary clinton surging now to a big lead in the electoral college. >> i'm not running against crooked hillary. >> that's the guy who know he's going to lose. >> i'm running against the crooked media. >> he's not going to the win the election running against the new york times. >> this is not a reality tv show. >> i am may be wrong and on november 8, i'll say, oh, i guess i was wrong. >> no major party nominee has been less prepared to deal with our national security than donald trump. >> oh, you better elect me folks, i'll never speak to you again. >> it absolutely amazes me, he doesn't seem to want to learn it. >> the time is over due to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. i call it extreme vetting. >> we face real serious challenges in america. we need serious leadership. >> you can get her

i don't think the russians are going to invade ukraine. are capable. ukrainians were killed in crimea the other day because they did do sabotage there. but, no, i don't think aware on the brink of something like that. but politically driven conflicts like this sometimes have a design that we're not aware of until after it happens. stuart: ron, eric trump was on the show earlier today. we discussed his father's big speech last night. and what some people are saying is a change of tone. i'm going to run a sound byte from eric trump, and then i want to discuss last night's speech with you. roll tape. >> last night he gave an awesome speech. we were in charlotte, and it came out. i was so proud. but he came out and goes, listen, i've made mistakes in the campaign. stuart: we have not heard that before. >> i've probably said things -- he's a politically incorrect guy; right? he's never run as a politician. that's not who he is, and i thought it was so cool. i thought kind of the humble trump -- and, by the way, that's the father i know. the guy

reset button was pushed -- not right after, but a couple years later, that's when russia went into the ukraine, took over crimea. and on friday, we found out that russia just deployed air defense missiles there, too. >> yeah. this really worries me. this is one part of the election that keeps me up at night. i think if you're concerned about russia and foreign policy, unfortunately there is no one good outcome from the election. i think that hillary clinton said she's going to talk tough to russia. but that sort of went out the window with her e-mail scandal. and on the flip side, we have trump who seems to have surrendered already to russia. and the rnc went along with it. this is very concerning. i don't see really one is better than the other at this point. >> to silicon valley. rich, when she was secretary of state, she had this plan of working with the russians. this is kind of in the crony capitalism sphere, where she wanted the russians and she as secretary of state to encourage u.s. businesses to go russia and create a little silicon valley outside of moscow. it was called skulvoko. i
