never hear that story wise that well they just put rachel maddow on and she was right not russia russia russia but saudi is doing actual harm you know that's exactly the problem the real culprits in this max the people who have culpability and have i mean the nine eleven investigation disappeared. and now when you had this thing it's just going to slowly fee go with it and they're going to come back if the if i don't know what's going to happen in the midterm elections but if the democrats win they're going to certainly and i don't think they will they definitely won't win the senate but i think that the what they're going to do is try to triple down on the russia russia russia you know it's two years later we haven't seen one shred of evidence one fact based bit of information released i mean it's been entirely made up all right let's switch gears a little bit and talk about markets and talk about a group of stocks you've been following for a while the fangs socalled. facebook app all netscape google all. maybe throw that in there so these stocks have had remarkable runs and now they've pulle

russia russia russia russia created and took off with the momentum that in three half years or whatever we are still pursuing this and it's fascinating it is a fixation n o c d. proliferation this dispersed several ration over this but this first and today i find almost comical it's not false it's true but they don't spread enough of the positive truth as well so it's one of the most the better of the new ones critiques so here's my question when you hear a former senior government official describing r t as truthful which flies in the face of everything that we've heard coming from the us except from that famous quote from hillary clinton when she said that we're basically doing a good job or a better job than they were. does this suggest that there is a shift in attitudes towards this network or is this an outlying opinion or is this meant to stoke the fires i mean what do you see happening here. oh absolutely i see to great question i see can juggle palpable tetherball real documentable change in the f

result of russia not having a meaningful place within the european security institutions i wonder if it's a bit larger not just russia's place within the security institutions but generally russia's place in the world and the disagreements that both sides have with regards to that question of what place should russia take in the world when i think i focused on europe and there may be issues and complaints having to do with other regions the world but europe i think has been and the near abroad vision is a little bit or has been most important to russia since one thousand nine hundred ninety and remains one of russia's key interests if i read the foreign policy concept correctly. the point is that structurally indeed it would to a large part as nato and the e.u. expanded and more and more decisions were taken in nato in the e.u. russia had less opportunity to participate in the formulation or the taking of key decisions. and in that sense i recognized that russia had had a complaint that needed to be addressed since sometime in the last complaint i think according to you it's a series of complaints that have been voiced repeatedly and repeatedly ignored or dismissed well by some t

russia to judge whether it was productive or counterproductive for russia the question of whether it was counterproductive or productive i mean i think everybody would agree that it was very detrimental to russia itself on the public relations on foreign policy front but on this strategic front i think many in russia would argue that there was no other solution and the best way of averting something like that would just be not putting russia in the situation when it had to choose make a very quick decision about why they'd once to lose an access to the black sea or whether it wants to play by the western rules and stay in good graces of western policy while i can agree with you that there were several points in two thousand and thirteen where i think negotiating and including russia in talks of some sort about what an association agreement for ukraine with zero opinion would mean for russian interests might have averted the crisis that ensued from november of two thousand and thirteen on. putin at valda and two thousand and thirteen gave a fairly clear statement to romano prodi russia's issue interests involved here. unfortunately i don't think this warning was sufficiently considered but once

the simple question is is russia still targeting the united states no question the russians will meddle in this year's midterm elections russia is at it again at it again russia is up to its old tricks. and the americans they seem to be either willfully or blissfully ignorant of what's going on. why won't the president say that they are doing this why you see russia hasn't even tweeted a single piece on russia's goal is real simple on this super road trust to create to have social and political content carry out cyber attacks two of them are the other nefarious things. in the middle of information and meme warfare is james bond evil villain level plotting the russians they know everything that irritates this country when congress and the general public disagree simply along party lines and the russians are winning they seem to know everything that i heard they're going after all this stuff women. around this country they've been heating up more so they're really not articulating a single viewpoint they have weaponized freedom of speech and the public loses trust in the press the russians are winning and the only thing stopping them is news media broadcasts li

russia. i have no relationship to russia. i don't deal there. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. i have nothing to do with russia. i have john. john, how many times do i have to say it? are you a smart man? i have nothing to do with russia. i have nothing to do with russia. >> we now know that, in fact, trump had a lot to do with russia. according to michael cohen, trump was trying to build a trump tower in moscow into the summer of 2016, a year after he announced his presidential run and at the height of the campaign, the same campaign the russians meddled in. and as he was about to become the republican party nominee. in fact, according to a new buzz feed report the trump organization even offered vladimir putin, or planned to offer him the $50 million penthouse as a gift. much more on that story with one of the reporters who wrote it coming up. >>> but first, to michael cohen, the long-time trump lawyer and fixer who today went to federal court and pled guilty again, this time to lying to congress about the

russia. i have no investments in russia. none whatsoever. i have nothing to do with russia me now is nbc news chief richard engel in boune necessary aires and peter baker as well. richard, to you. how hard is it to do business in russia? what do you need in order to building some like, i don build something like a trump tower moscow? >> well, to build a massive tower in the middle of moscow, a tower that would be catering to the elite of the country, you would need a lot of political support. this is not the kind of thing that a businessman would just go in and decide to issue a tender and see a building go up. you need massive political connections and many people have written before how building a trump tower in moscow was something that the trump organization has long been interested in doing. and now, according to this latest confession, we know that the trump organization, through michael cohen, was still trying to do it during the campaign and felt that it was important to cover up this fact and lie to congress. i just spoke to a senior member of the senate intel comm

senate went republican and if they and the house stayed republican you would already be hearing russia russia russia they did something we need hearings they fixed it they did this they did that i promise you you would have heard that but now that the democrats certain house they can't really cry that can day because. there's no basis for it but they can't even make a basis for it because they actually want something so it's hysteria it's been hysteria since day one to discredit donald trump that donald trump is in. you know a pocket that donald trump is indebted to putin putin's going to blackmail him and it's an illegitimate president see that that's what this is all been about from day one make no mistake. now another news today chimneys leading jewish organizations calling for special anti semitism classes for muslim migrants it comes amid a spike in hate crime targeting changed peter all of his more. jewish community leaders in germany say they want to see integration classes for migrants that focus on them saying that this could help stem a rise in anti-semitic incidents in the country many of

russia. i have no loans in russia. i don't have any deals in russia. i promise you, i never made, i don't have any deals with russia. >> coten sahen said he lied abo long he worked on it. it was going on months longer than he claimed to congress and trump denied it a month later as he was asking russia for help hacking hillary. >> i mean, i will tell you now, zero. i have nothing to do with russia. i built an unbelievable company. if you look there, you'll see there's nothing in russia. russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> and that's not all. cohen admitting he lied when he said he never talked about traveling to russia for the project. he admits he did talk about that and he did communicate about it and he did work on getting donald trump to go. mueller also has the evidence, the e-mails about cohen plotting to visit russia before the rnc convention, writing that trump could go once he becomes the nominee. cohen admitting he had help from the highest levels of the kremlin, kronldicorresponding

russia russia has a huge supply of gas this gas can be shipped to europe in a very easy way so why should the europeans not do that for political reasons because they don't want to be dependent on the russians for their energy as much as they have been in the past so they decide to ship liquefied natural gas with ships where you need liquefying stations in the united states you need deeply quit fighting stations in europe across the atlantic what happens of course this gas is much more expensive and the european union can't force its energy providers to buy the gas over there you know i did states so the promises made by the e.u. might not be a substantial lies in the future we don't know we do know that the elegy exports from united states to europe have increased but those dimensions aren't comparable to the gas that for example countries like germany are getting from russia it's clearly political it's something that the e.u. can give to the united states to pacify trump but to back it up it's still a long way yes very good point thank you well he is the president many leaders would like to spend some time with at the g. twenty summit and i'm not talking about donald trump i'm talking about russian president vladimir putin today. we know there will be no sideline meeting between him and u.s. president trump we also know that german chancellor angela merkel will meet with mr putin to discuss escalations tensions with ukraine no word on whether or not trump will be present for that talk expected to bring up the possibility of new economic sanctions as a response to last sunday's naval clash between russia and ukraine here's what mr putin said about the possibility of new sanctions you do need. think cannot be ignored that dishonest competition is replacing honest dialogue between nation states a vicious practice of returning to illegal uni lateral sanctions

coast of russia annexed crimea where ukraine has accused russia of opening fire on its ships and ramming a navy tugboat when it tried to cross a narrow passage in the sea of solve well russia says the ukrainian vessels were in its waters and it blocked their access to the current straits with a cut straight in the sea of hours of lies to the east of crimea which is under the control of pro russian separatists well rachel in the joins us live now from moscow rory the ukrainian president has just been speaking about the incident what more did he have to say. well deron even during the height of the fighting in eastern ukraine and the annexation of crimea in two thousand and fourteen the ukrainian government was wary of imposing martial law the announcement that we have just heard from a proportion to the recording president suggests that monday morning we may well get just that as a result of these tensions in the ass of c. he says that he supports his military cabinets proposal to impose martial law ready crane for sixty days he's going to put this in front of the ukrainian parliament the verhoven the rather on monday morning for its decision what would this mean well he's

that's always russia's case that they don't understand ukraine so i think there's more going on here then they meet c.r. and it's not just the quick case of all russia made a kind of a mistake russia is seeing ukraine slip away and russian leaders are angry they don't know what to do about it well let's put that straight back to glenn glenn is russia trying to undermine petro poroshenko ahead of ukraine's presidential election. no shank was already polling quite poorly i think the people who'd vote for him now is in the single digits so he's far from the favorite and if anything i think this crisis would help him to rise up the polls even possibly now establishing martial law. setting it to favor himself or at least to boost his own popularity indure things so i see this as being favoring his presidency rather than undermining it by showing him that he's able to stand up against russia and also getting the support of the americans and the british i would point out however that it's not really clear what has happened so far. all we know is that. the laws which are supposed to determine who who can control this water says of course linked to the sovereignty of crimea now given that

russia seized in annexed ukraine russia claims that these straits are part of its own domestic internal sovereignty ukraine obviously disputes that it doesn't accept the seizure of crimea and in its view russia has no sovereign claim to these straits now the two countries russia and ukraine share the sea of us off and that's a rather important waterway a great deal of agricultural produce goes to the middle east for through the sea of us off and the straits but what we have now is simply a problem of rival claims of sovereignty it's simple on it on its face unfortunately what it means is that at whatever time ukraine chose to exercise its claim of sovereignty bait which is supported by almost all governments in the world of the russia by sending vessels through those straits it would almost certainly encounter a convent from taishan from the russians who claim that this is now part of their internal waters i want to draw your attention to what journalists on the ground or writing about what's happening you know just today the journalist nolan peterson tweeted that this is the most dangerous moment that i had seen in ukraine in years tonight a war that many people in america can only imagine

home to help each again again strictures original in pay any attention to the to it and then the russia russia. much completely done. even though. on the from the i understand all right already kind of happening at president on to north surgeries instances arms on their different. place like this is more than one and out of traffic at this is doug. the colors are had a pentagon presidential elections is a personal residence okay fillings labels be might not not even a one off and then and then really all the old click the and yeah yeah cover coverage levy of china's as as i and the things that the state agency. debris legal is going to come a conference of our north york form which means most mostly in agreement with with allan little sent been talking about about. literally crystals on optional far apart. that says a cessation of women whether we're going to take a second stands you this you. yes yes and you already have the house that said that you know it was so special. trust trust district spending any. signed it seems to come couple things saying at the kind. of things they don't don't d

germany says no no no no to be reasonable russia says no it's ours russia takes it the world is let's be reasonable let's talk let's have a negotiating process russia says you know you talk you have you negotiate in process this is ours and it stays ours no because it's not up to russia. to calm down this situation but it won't what will the chaos they provoked it why did you do it when when when what we have seen clearly is that russia has decided this is our backyard this is what we want the world keep saying to russia you need to come down the world keeps imposing sanctions on russia and russia keeps say this is ours we don't care. in this case they can say it's our respect cause. of us off there we have to respect also international law and we have the sea board us that's all international rule and if so i think international pressure is needed and look on the. on the economic side of russia look on the economic development russia does not do a real and cannot have real interest at the moment because when you look on the internal situation now in moscow a lot of internal pressure in russia which is perhaps sometimes not seen so that's my point

russia russia. longtime done. accessing the tension supplies please come home right. one of one of them into a whole whole progression to listen will name names of from broad brush russians years. ago though will now without any any real real power our into the camp henschke fred make notices which is which is a west point of processing load locate and ascertain the country and in this time and i went away. on the night in this is russia have says that is that they think. the amount on a my man. and land laying. this is. a second line of in their in their in the process and another nationalization three religious or range right sharma character. greg rex response on this was that it that it is not. about us is bang bang threat dresses. this was on a roll tools nazanin from the hague catches his has hatched to the the same. this is a this is a come. she a and a and meg right by not uniting them into payin. today nearly every thursday's a to your union don't i build -- if there are there are some changes no no regrets. six the british list harry's usually usually. hey even in nineteen ninety six estimates of what the legislation. to lock japan's as to has of nine it's a situation because i landed minutes on on a notifications in the lease of the views you. raise agency whatever that i was always well known that taxes because you might say nine house house while i mean really really you. the by some. of the scheduled ser

that's always russia's case that they don't understand ukraine so i think there's more going on here then they meet psionics not just a quick case of all russia made a kind of a mistake russia is seeing ukraine slip away and russian leaders are angry they don't know what to do about it well let's put that straight back to glenn glenn is russia trying to undermine petro poroshenko ahead of ukraine's presidential election. no. already polling quite poorly i think the people who vote for him now is in the single digits so he's far from the favorite and if anything i think this crisis would help him to rise up the polls even possibly now establishing martial law. setting it to favor himself or at least to boost his own popularity indure things so i see this as being favoring his presidency rather than undermining it by showing him that he's able to stand up against russia and also getting the support of the americans and the british i would point out however that it's not really clear what has happened so far. all we know is that. the laws which are supposed to determine who who can control this water says of course linked to the sovereignty of crimea now given that russia cons

remember that for the last four or five years russia has been denying its military involvement in eastern ukraine of course nobody in the west believed russia but russia's always said that this is a civil war between russia and ukraine speakers and that russia is not present well this is this takes the conflict into a sort of or away from this sort of hybrid war into a more open a rino where russia is clearly seen from video footage that's available to anybody who wants to see it as an open aggressor. and in that sense it brings the conflict into a different domain as it were. there's no longer any pretense of hiding what russia is up to now so how do you think the incident is being viewed in moscow i mean to the russians see this as a provocation by the ukrainians. russia probably believes all along of course i mean you have to understand the state of russia's heavily controlled state television i mean. seventy percent of russians believe it was the ukrainians are shot down and age seventeen in july two thousand and fourteen the same number of years of russians three quarters of russians believe it was the british intelligence services that chemically

russia. i have nothing to do with russia. i have no investments in russia. none whatsoever. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. >> well, cohen's plea deal today shows those statements were false. let me go to congressman joaquin castro, sir, you're on the intelligence committee. what does this tell you about trump's believability, what's it tell you about his legal culpability and his impeachability? >> oh, all great questions. well, the first thing is i think the prosecution of michael cohen for lying to congress i think is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to prosecutions for lying to congress by the witnesses who went in front of the house and the senate. there are other folks like roger stone and donald trump junior, i think, who should be concerned about possibly facing prosecutions as well. the other thing is based on the buzzfeed reporting about the fact that vladimir putin may have been offered a $50 million condo in that project, if that's correct, and that's been de

now it is over so it is back to russia, russia, russia. this is what they worr ied about. they are worried about whitaker who said things that seemed to be hoes still about mueller. >> if he doesn't recuse himself, nite significance he makes in the mueller investigation is going to have a taint about it was he forced to make a commitment to the president to ignore the advice of ethics lawyers at the justice department and not seek out their advice. was that part of his get ting the job? this president is guided by one thing alone. what's good for donald trump? the country doesn't matter that much. laura: that's typical adam schif f. he's making the conway point. anything he does is in valid. today they announced a new rules or what they want to be the new rules on the migrants, specifically a change to an asylum law. jeff sessions was on board. you had to present yourself at a port of entry. not just coming across the border and saying i want asylum. is that what they are setting up anything whitaker is a part of that can do. >> again unchartered territory. they are certai

russia. russia seized three ships belonging to ukraine and is still holding the crew on board, something vladimir putin could trigger renewed hostilities. they are talking martial law because ukraine will put in place martial law as of tomorrow. that is the background on that story. robert parsons was listening to this. respectiveepeating party lines. >> a restatement of position. you would not expect anything else at this stage. the russians are not going to change their position, which is this was a provocation by the ukrainians. sergei lavrov talking as if german chancellor angela merkel, and her phone conversation with vladimir putin, had agreed with the russian president on his position. that is clearly not the case. we saw that yesterday at the united nations security council meeting, with the french ambassador speaking on behalf of france and germany made it clear france and germany condemn what the russians have done, along with the united states, sweden, poland, and so on. no change of position. there was a suggestion that , a gesture would be appropriate at this stage from the russians. the problem was caused by the militarization of the region. what he is getting at their, what has happened is the russians forcefully annexed crimea. since then, the russians have used every opportunity to build up their military force. militarization of the area, russian is growing concern. they more military might in the area, the more you need to protect it, the more judiciary they become about the ukrainian navy approaching, even in such small numbers. it is the sort of thing that could provoke the incident we have seen. a gesture is called for from the russians. will beor not that forthcoming, probably not. he has called on the russians to release the ukrainian prisoners, 23 of them, as soon as possible. >> the french prime minister called on the ukraine for a de-escalation, this movement toward martial law. the president has said there is a serious threat for him of a russian land invasion. is there? >> i do not think the russians are thinking anything of the sort. the consequences would be catastrophic. russia has no intention of doing anything like that and they are happy to continue pursuing the policies it has been pursuing for the last few years with considerable success in the destabilization of ukraine. ukraine'slicating export of key goods like steel, coal, and grain. there is no need to engage directly in military confrontation with you brain, which is not -- with ukraine, which is not to say ukraine does not need to be concerned about threats from russia. it comes in all kinds of forms. the president talked about the hybrid tactics used by the russians. ukrainians are worried. russians have far superior military might. they are able to apply pressure in different ways. you can criticize it, but it is the way the president has chosen to assert ukrainian sovereignty at this moment, when he feels the country is threatened by russia. for that.ou another major story we are covering. out his macron has laid tenure roadmap for france's transition to cleaner energy. he said france will clo

russia wanted so there is an incentive for russia to say that you know let's negotiate a peace agreement here and what the minsk agreements actually say is that the territory would be restored ukrainian control and russia is a party to those agreements so it's a matter of finding the mechanisms can we get this implemented so that we can at least establish peace in that part crimea it's going to be a longer term problem because in eastern ukraine i think there is some hope. your special representative for you could thank you. as are some of the other stories making news around the world indonesian investigators say the lion at plane that crashed last month suffered technical problems the day before the incident should have been grounded all one hundred eighty nine people on board the burning seven three seven were killed when it crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from jakarta. chinese scientists to claims to have created the world's first genetically edited baby says a second such pregnancy may be under way the john quite that we feel the possible pregnancy during remarks defending his work he's claimed to have altered the d.n.a. of twin girls to protect them from contracting hiv sparked outr
