different offices drawn for this project by the mahler chamber orchestra and international law sambal made up of forty seven members from eighteen countries. though frederick chopin composed his piano concertos nearly two hundred years ago this is still a premier in a way it is the first time that the new work a strain by mikhail but now has been recorded. in dortmund the russian pianist and composer is wielding the baton didn't go over the kids anyway it is the first the first. get out the whole concept and that was this beautiful looking up we get we're going to sign a little scene in the last minute of the. blues fifth in the city and the smiths in which the boys in the shop would your proposal to go without them either the local . just for so that only if it got called the business of both of them put on what you know that was. for all. of those just closed so that i could. live in peace with markers. or something like. hello. there. would be. moderate chamber which is used to working with different pianists and different styles of pianist with les for over with mitsuko uchida so

and to go against him so this of course increases the credibility of mahler and the findings that he might get in the end i would assume there will be. things to do to be dragged into the open that will make the trump family or the compay look bad but it might be that trump himself didn't really. is not really a culprit in the narrow sense so that might be the come out and he might even use these these assessments for the leaders here in europe how are they dealing with all the traumatic the united states it's of course impossible for them because the all this is dragging away attention and energy from the from the white house and it would be much more needed to fill the open posed to have an idea of what the white house and and the ministries do together so they all hope for a more stable. running of the of the government and we don't see this as only day four of the of the new year in fact it is heading reka head of the program on u.s. transatlantic relations at the german council on foreign relations in berlin thank you. while many trump critics see michael wolff book as further p

measure yourself against your own works of course there's a risk i didn't miss it was it is hard mahler there was a. basel it is not a painter who can escape modernism in my opinion this will be the next step in the history of painting. on god yes and now with the remakes pictures he's planted himself firmly there and are interested. back. in two thousand and six thousand it's moved to bavaria that same year take them all down in the mix pictures interpret it king work. behind me are done via by and very quickly we arranged a major exhibition with the remakes pictures it was our first big exhibition and during the preparation this oh so tranquil artist was in a complete panic on the. dock of. him for much of his famous and recognized but he was in a blind funk and how would the pictures go down too tough on people to follow could people accept them but he does accept here. in atlanta he still thinks his old pictures are great he realized that when he was repainting annoyed about global does this kind of i don't think that's a continuation or an extension of the themes but rather that th

harder for trump to fire him and to go against him so this of course increases the credibility of mahler and the findings that he might get in the end i would assume there will be. things to do to be dragged into the open that will make the trump family or the compay look bad but it might be that trump himself didn't really. is not really a culprit in the narrow sense so that might be the come out and he might even use these assessments for that but how much does it undermine for example republican efforts to undermine the investigation because we know for example actually just yesterday perhaps quincy densely perhaps not perhaps you can weigh in on that president tom's former campaign advisor paul metaphor and he actually sued the special counsel robert muller in order to get him to narrow the scope of the investigation of course that a fart he has been indicted for for money laundering it within the scope of the investigation where do you think that that all of this leaves the pro. i think that there are many republicans who are basically conservative they are not russia friendly they

business and not looking that far ahead but i will say there's so many questions the investigation of mahler and the f.b.i. we don't see what's happening there yet but that's probably going to come let's take the word of steve benen his former chief strategist who gives them a thirty percent chance to finish out his term so let's see where that is going thirty percent is not nothing certainly not so it's been a large as a political strategist thanks for being with us thank you data. well as we've heard trump's approval ratings continue to be quite low depending on the day generally around forty percent but for the most part trump supporters continue to stand behind him just before christmas day w. reporters crisscrossed the country speaking with trump voters across the nation about how they think their candidate is doing now that he's in office. a christmas tree dedicated to president donald trump this but we're not a trump tower we're in the middle of new hampshire at lugar gee all those house this year's christmas tree is a symbol of his increased support for a president who has constantly

russians again these nefarious these these these these mysterious russians it's already over with mahler's been added called has been added special prosecutors you name it that's old nudes trump takes this thing personally he thrives on this he tax people it's a very simple rule leave him alone he's your best friend go after him and don't cut your head off another just because your thoughts are another aspect a former trump advisor is also that the news for come pain moments of paul mana for making headlines suing the department of justice over the choice of the person leading the investigation against him. mohler of course robert muller what's your reaction to coming to the basically saying that. it was arbitrary and capricious not in accordance with the law very direct language. well it's a little bit difficult when you're going after claiming that your prosecutor somehow is violating the rules being an x. prize of your myself good luck with that one i will tell you they don't person who is really having buyer's remorse so to speak is general lender and mr papadopoulos who pled guilty to

palings then then we get this gridlock oh we get the train crash ok because even irrespective what mahler has to say it may not have the political implications that he and the liberal elites and the media want and that's going to be a very interesting parlay if it happens go headly this is what i think the danger is when i say this is a different information campaign it's really important to understand this all but narratives lead to russia bad that's what i'm saying the one democrat narrative leads to russia bad we know that that's clear but the republican narrative also leads to russia bad and that's the point this is been a very successful dissin permission campaign because the facts are actually not that difficult to determine anybody can look into this for themselves and learn the facts of this case they can see what crowd strike did they can see who didn't tell us and that's guy who's that that russian let's just talk about that she's that russian lawyer that's all you need to say she's already being cast as like natasha right in the rocky and bullwinkle right she's that russian law

made that finding and we don't know what he's got so keep saying that it's not true i don't see how mahler can complete his investigation without talking to the president number one and number two i don't see how if muller the special counsel request a meeting with the president the united states who's the chief target of this investigation i don't see how the white house can refuse that i'm not a lawyer but i think they would have to come to terms with it maybe they'll try to limit it say it's got to be you know no cameras or it's got to be secret or only certain questions are allowed but i think i think you're going to see in the white house robert mueller sit down with donald trump where you see this whole thing going. i here here's what my guess is and there's everybody in washington has a theory you know around the country i guess i believe this is not stopping first of all with paul mann of ford and george papadopoulos it's not stopping with michael flynn that's going higher i think it goes to jared cushion or on a lot of financial stuff i think it might even snare yvonne. i doubt th

to fire a special prosecutor robert muller fake news the new york times says trump wanted to sack mahler in june of last year but he backed down when the top white house lawyer threatened to resign haskell had a small. publicly donald trump is often dismissed the investigation into potential collusion between his campaign and russian operatives but they're never report he ordered the man behind it fired last june but apparently white house attorney dan mcgann threatened to quit in protest so the president backed down trump had his usual response to the news they could use that they were going to get fixed but here's what we do know trump has seem fixated with the russian investigators and it started on march second of last year when attorney general jeff sessions recused himself from the investigation trump was furious saying sessions' was supposed to protect him on march twentieth f.b.i. director james comey admits the agency is investigating potential collusion between the trim campaign and russia may ninth he was fired and the very next day trump told visiting russian diplomats that f

that i think that's going to continue to be the central focus and you know one thing i think that mahler's looking at is this efforts of obstruction the firing of komi. in particular and i think that's where the investigation is heading and i think all of these other efforts to mr direct from the central issue are really not going to work at the end of the day money as a republican does all of this can see you with what's going on. well you know the challenge when there are stories or allegations for example regarding the two f.b.i. agents peter struck was one of them who were expressing points of view about donald trump during the campaign you know obviously i think the right action was taken to remove those people the challenge is it lends credence to this narrative that there was this systemic bias against donald trump now whether you believe that or not there are some who can make that argument and this kind of gives them fodder for the fire at the end of the day i don't think it's particularly productive for republicans to be assaulting the credibility of the f.b.i. the f.b.i. is the

if you will remember back in december, robert mahler and his team spoke to a number of people fairlyy member of the presidential campaign, and communications director at the white house. those people he spoke with in his office are outside of the court room process. more informal. they took notes, but there wasn't a grand jury took notes, but there wasn't a grand jury present. this meeting with the subpoenaed to steve bannon is different. this would put him on the record. —— this meeting with a subpoena to steve bannon is different. it shows a higher level of scrutiny. this could be an opening gambit on the part of the special counsel. they could decide to meet with steve bannon in a similaroff to meet with steve bannon in a similar off the record situation. but if this is the opener, this could indicate that steve bannon may have information of particular interest to the investigation. possibly what we learned about last week when steve bannon was telling michael wolff, the author of fire and fury, when he said donald trump haase son meeting the russians was treasonous. and also tal
