administration sorry can do something to restore those relations between moscow and washington to dimitri medvedev is saying that the u.s. is starting a fully fledged trade war with russia and his final third point is that the donald trump and ministration has shown complete impotence and simply lost to the entirety of the u.s. establishment so words come from the establishment isn't just rhetoric though is it tell us about the actual physical countermeasures that have been employed by russia what when this new world of sanctions was initially approved by the congress even before getting that donald trump signature moscow already hit back we know that more than seven hundred fifty u.s. diplomats will have to leave moscow and response to similar actions by the u.s. right now to diplomatic compounds. u.s. will have to give that up in moscow but we understand that more countermeasures can still follow that's been warned by the russian foreign ministry if you read through their latest statement but if we look at what this means in the even i should say historic perspective i guess that ever s

about michael cohen, trump attorney, executive vice president of the trump organization emailing with dimitri pesek off to push through this trump tower deal. that was in january 2016. we are told mr. trump signed off on a letter of intent. >> nothing came of it. you will recall michael: was besmirched by many earlier this year because they had the wrong michael cohen. saying he had been in russia. michael cohen said he had never been in russia. he was out with his son when they said he was there. he's already been besmirched once. nothing came of it. no deal was made, no visit was made and when the president says he doesn't deal in russia, watched gas said again and again -- what he has said again and again is that he was there for the miss universe pageant. he has no business dealings there and in this case no deal was made. for the trump towers all over the world, moscow does not have one. >> bret: sure about the deal was being talked about it. there was a push in february, january 2016. you would think nothing at all might not be the accurate statement. >> let's look at what the investiga

migration commissioner or dimitri opera marple as who one here ago said the e.u. should work harder to accept more asylum seekers let me remind you that you're already has the highest asylum standards in the world and we have to uphold those and our commitment to protect those seeking protection. we need a strict and more effective policy for deportation too few migrants are being deported the european states have to do more his change of term really boils down to the e.u.'s relocation policy for the refugees and migrants is apparently falling apart i mean in the beginning it was mostly the eastern european states like hungary and poland in the baltic states being against that used welcoming policy for the migrants and refusing to taken more and more refugees but now we're hearing more voices of this content from other countries as well particularly italy which really has been bearing the brunt of the migrants are the refugees arriving from africa as well as the middle east in search of a better life in europe since the beginning of this year we're talking about n

the "post" reporting an ooem fr -- an e-mail from michael cohn that went directly to dimitri peskov talkingut communications about a trump tower in moscow. where does that leave the investigation? >> i tell you, had it not been for north korea and the hurricane, this would be an even bigger story, dave. i think that you've got to expect a robert muller to issue subpoenas -- robert mueller to issue subpoenas to find out what was solicited. this could be a big story. >> the president was asked about where he sees the threat level by russia at a press conference. listen to what he said -- >> mr. trump, would you consider russia a security threat? thank you. >> well, i consider many countries as a security threat, unfortunately. >> that caught a lot of folks by attention. you know, that he -- >> political punt. >> yeah. he won't say russia is a threat. he broadens it, moves it around it. >> that angle apparently will never change. he -- he has a blind spot for putin and the russians. i think that's going to prevail. i would add, though, the big story geopolitically as we know came overnight. i

attack shows that there must be a united international effort to fight terrorism the prime minister dimitri medvedev echoed putin sentiments saying that terrorism will only put defeated if there is a joint effort from the entire international community over in the u.s. the president donald trump he was one of the first world leaders to come out and condemn this he tweet is saying the u.s. will do whatever is necessary to help be tough and strong we love you and last but not least the secretary of state of the u.s. rex tillerson he also commented on this barcelona attack expressing his condolences for those who were affected adding that issue ting a warning to quote terrorists all around the world should know we are resolved to find you and bring you to justice so you sixty you know the morning moscow some sixty in the morning over there and spain will have lot more reaction from some of the ongoing police and for the driver in the coming hours here on r.t. international. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporation washington washingt

michael cohen, long time attorney for the trump organization, e-mailed dimitri peskov, chief spokesmanmir putin. sought the kremlin's help. cohen wrote i respectfully request some one preferably you contact me so that i might discuss the specific as well as arranging meetings with appropriate individuals. in an interview with t"the wall street journal", cohen says he discussed the deal with mr. trump multiple times and mr. trump signed ape letter of intent in october 2015. by that time, candidate trump surged to the top of the republican polls. >> i will gait long with putin. >> cohen traded e-mails with a business associate involved in the trump tower moscow project. seder claimed to have deep tie thousands inside the kremlin. our boy can become president of the usa and we can engineer it. i will get all of putin's team to buy in on this. i will manage this process. in a statement today, cohen described trump tower moscow as "a building proposal that did not succeed and nothing more." the project was scrapped shortly after cohen e-mailed peskov, the kremlin spokesman. >> the campaign

. >> dimitri from the financial times. are countriesent that were thinking about moving jobs overseas, which would obviously send a signal to the white house -- to what extent are they having information, which is harder to see and harder to be criticized? president trumpka: i think it is a combination of both. if you look at unionization, over the years, we have made existing because we have forced on omissions, improvements and technical improvements. we have improved work with our employers to get that up. i think people, if you are a businessman, where is your goal. your goal is to get as much money as you can. it is never a no. it is outsourcing, get you some money and you will do it. young off workers would get money, you would do it. it is illuminating a community, if it gives you -- if a limiting a community gets your more money, you would do it. again, our country -- our question ought to be, where do society fit in? where does the stakeholder of the community fit in? maximize profits for themselves or their share

the triangle of freedom and it piqued my interest and i read his book last year, his biography of dimitri bonne hoffer which might be the best book i ever read from my perspective. deep history, deep theology and more contemporary book on freedom last year and so that piqued my interest because it was from him. i get lots of books from members, my colleagues who write books so i take a good look at those. i feel some obligation to that. i am not a fiction guy. i have read a few novels. probably pillars of the earth was one. for the most part i look either for something instructional, educational, historical, theological, anything that ties all of that together is all the more interesting. >> into your book as well. >> good point. every year i give my staff a book. this last christmas i gave them a book, red platoon, written by a friend of mine, he received a medal of honor in our first year, 2015, my first time going to an event at the pentagon and so a true story about his experiences that earned him a medal of honor so i gave that to him and paul ryan's book, he wrote this biography/pol

there was actually a denial issued by a man named dimitry peskov a press attache to vladimir putin, inch he says, i confirm that among a number of ee-mails, one from mr michael cohen came to us. this indeed happened said peskov during a telephone briefing with russian and foreign journalists. if it goes on to say, but as far as we don't respond to business topics, this is not our job, we did not send a response. you found that unusual that somebody at that level would offer an actual denial of the idea that michael cohen sent an e-mail to vladimir putin. >> i did. because he's not obligated to respond. there's no journalist asking him to respond. and let's be clear who did dmitry peskov is. i know him. i worked with him. he's not just a press spokesperson. he is a very close confidante of the president, president putin. they've been together for a long, long time. he sees putin every day in a way most others don't. he is a senior person. somebody obviously gave mr. cohen the advice he's the guy you need to contact to get to putin. i can imagine somebody telling him that. but that he wo

. >> reporter: dimitry trenin runs the carnegie center in moscow. >> putin cares about the relationshipen though the but he is not going to burn his bridge although it may be a very rickety bridge that he has established with president trump. >> reporter: 300 miles away from st. petersburg, vice president pence visited nato and e.u. member estonia. he praised estonia's commitment to nato and called the russian government's cap on staff drastic. and like putin, e said he hoped things didn't get even worse. >> america is open to a better a better relationship and the lifting of sanctions will require russia to reverse the actions that caused the sanctions to be imposed in the first place. >> reporter: those actions include destablizing ukraine and hacking during the 2016 election. most u.s. officials tell me they want to see a robust response to putin's moves, and acknowledge these days are echoing the cold war diplomatic tit-for-tats of the 1980s. >> he wants to have a cold war type relationship? let's remind him how it ended up. >> reporter: ambassador dan fried led the obama adminstrat

and let me another, dimitri medvedev taunted president obama in a tweet a few minutes ago.s total weakness by handing over executive power to congress in the most humiliating way. how is all this playing in europe? >> well, not terribly well. the europeans are worried that mr. trump is too benign or soft on russia. plus they won't particularly like these sanctions because a lot of them are aimed at european firms. so this will cause cross atlantic tensions or friction as much as anything. it will stir in moscow. the russians don't like the sanctions simply because it shows that their preference for mr. trump has proved to be counterproductive or at least empty because congress has stepped into the void. i think the most interesting thing on united states and russia may be coming up with what we do about ukraine and whether we're prepared to provide them the sort of defensive arms that the obama administration considered but never agreed to send and whether this administration will do it. >> should we be concerned that the president does not criticize putin? >> well, again,

last comment or question from our president, dimitri, and we'll give each of you a chance to respond. >> [inaudible] seems very clear the reason we're discussing sanctions. sanctions against russia, is not because of the sanctions per se because there's very russia can do over that matter, the united states economically. the reason i think we're discussi discussing sanctions against russia because the thought of dynamics of the u.s.-russian relationship and who said it. more so possibly that we need to step away from the brink. which i know i'm-- correct me if i'm wrong, you feel the need to step away from the brink should not paralyze the united states in their impetus in responsing, or russian connections which we consider disagreeable. this is a very serious matter. what concerns me most is not that particular view. a lot of elements in the view you make sense on some specific ground. when everybody agrees that the sanctions were passed in part because of the tension between administration and congress. it's clear to me that the administration failed to correlate a-- and president
