after sergei was killed early in the morning of january twenty second two thousand and fourteen the circumstances of his death remain unknown to this day even though the whole area of protests was heavily filmed at that time there were no records or witnesses to help the investigation and his body was moved immediately from the scene of the crime. sergei became the first killed martyr of your own my don and in a heartbeat the police officers were appointed as his killers almost two years later the official investigation would still deliver no results now it is widely believed that nico yawns murder was staged by provoke a tourist to escalate the conflict. god speaks to people with the language of science on january twenty sixth two thousand and fourteen hope francis prayed for ukraine addressing thousands of people at st peter's square in vatican city. hate speech. after the prayer to white doves were released from the papal window and were immediately attacked by a crow and siegel those who understand the language could easily read the meaning of this elm and soon great forces the

japanese counterpart to discuss ways to resolve a territorial dispute over the far east incur island sergey lavrov is now addressing the media and we can listen. so them correlates and this is also part of the. charts and multiple documents signed following the end of world war two. including on the september the second nineteen forty five this is. the position that's we proceed from. and we need recognition of that position and without that it would be hard to move on to other issues. japanese friends. we need to understand that this is the territory of the russian federation and sovereign and sovereign sea virus show over these islands. cannot be discussed. and the japanese law these islands are recognised as northern territories which is unacceptable we asked several questions to our japanese counterparts we ask them what is their plan . how would they overcome that hurdle what will they do with the national legislation. deals with the issues the japanese counterparts would like to discuss with russia we're just making our first steps. we still face a long way ahead of us we need to to e

staying or going as regards syria could go on for some time that's what russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov hinted at his first big media conference of the new year. used to be a problem when there are problems with regards to america's plans a trust withdrawal was supposed to happen in two months when this was six months it's like mark twain who said it's easy to quit smoking i've done it a thousand times also it's an american tradition. ok let's cross live now to our correspondent in franken who is actually at that q. and a session a lot talks about elian just going through some of the cane points some of the other ones he might. pander hi well first of all just want to go back to lab rob's take on washington's plans to leave syria it didn't really sound critical as you've heard perhaps skeptical is the better word here and it was quite surprising i should say to hear sergei lavrov talk about all kinds of deliveries and supplies for. american troops in that country the point that he made was that the point that he made for americans why aren't you being as efficient when it comes t

russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says his country is open to a proposal to send german monitors to the strait the waterway became a flashpoint between russia and ukraine two months ago came the german foreign minister heikal moss was in moscow and france volunteers have also offered to assist in the monitoring of the street which links the black sea to the sea of. ukraine temporarily imposed martial law after russia captured three of its vessels off the coast of crimea moscow's also detained twenty four ukrainian sea men who were the crew of those vessels let's have a listen to what the russian foreign minister had to say. more than a month ago chancellor merkel asked president putin to allow german experts into the strait of kurdish. school probably. for them to study how passage this strike is organized especially in terms of security which is a process ship captains were to pass through the strait of the president putin a great back then and so foreign minister mathis to die presented me with a plan in europe it sets up the conditions for the experts journey. these conditions

coincidentally sergei love again is a close associate to many us politicians. the security service of ukraine had evidence that on that night in was in contact with opposition leader yatsenyuk where they discussed the clearing of mind on the pretext of installing the annual christmas tree news media reported that the riot police cruelly attacked the students peacefully sleeping in their tents but scenes from the event seem to tell a different story it appears that the protesters were waiting for the police additionally there were dozens of journalists and cameramen from all the new public t.v. news outlets prepared to cover the events and most ominously a group of well trained young men arrived to mind on almost simultaneously with the riot police. they infiltrated the crowd and began provocations with insults stones and torches. the right sector in ukraine represents a part of the ukrainian population that has often favored fairly extreme right wing positions they had militias that came especially during the may den protests. there were groups that were being

withdraw from this treaty as early as the next months and of course the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said that this move will destroy destabilize this. to asian. students . after the us leaves the i.n.f. treaty the whole system of control and the stability of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty movie under threat. well under that agreement neither side has the right to produce or deploy and as such missiles in the future however sergey lavrov also said today that the i.m.f. a treaty was signed between the two countries does not include those missiles that are based at sea or in the air that was very important live from moscow this hour bring us right up to date on that roman culture of. well the latest dispute comes after a double trump on veiled plans for expansion of america's defense capabilities now that was in response itself to a pentagon review outlining the threats facing the country let's delve a little bit deeper. picks apart the story. were gardeners of attempts by world's strongest men to dodge questions about a new global arms race well we may have to come to term

officials now responding to these charges against natalia vessel at the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has seriously downplayed the seriousness of these charges calling them nonsense that people are making a mountain out of a molehill while the government spokesperson dimitri peskov said that it's impossible for the government to know the dealings of every russian lawyer both inside and outside of the country. first and it has made a name for itself as well she's quite well known thanks to have been named a key person in the robert miller probe into suspected russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election as she's been bombarded with accusations of being connected to the russian government being a kremlin stooge something that she's continuously denied we go to speak to her one on one in twenty seventeen this is what she said things that i had to have that meeting as part of my job as a lawyer and citizen in the u.s. . had nothing to do with politics it didn't have anything to do with russia well as beslan this guy has said he's yet to find out all the details off this

and the sixteen year old girl spotted the pair unconscious and she didn't initially thought that sergei square powell was suffering from a heart attack so she quickly a loss of her mother who happens to be a british army know that together the two of them gave the script files first stayed until the paramedics are. right now the reason we know about this now is because the mom in this story nominated her daughter for a local bravery award that was handed out by a local radio station and the radio station that handed out the award said they didn't want any press attention immediately sort of in the aftermath of the script . which is why it's only become public knowledge now now as for the mother the mother's name is colonel allison mccord and she is now the chief nursing officer for the british army and she's got an o.b.e. she's had quite a career it's got to be said she's worked in kosovo bosnia iraq and also treating him in sierra leone it does appear that the the girl and her mother and her mother live locally and allison mccourt appears to have worked in some of the military installa

ok we're just listening now to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he is in algeria at the moment speaking with his counterpart but he did say some very strong words there on events in venezuela claiming that some of the international community is blatantly interfering in the internal affairs of venezuela he said that backing the opposition there in venezuela is effectively creating a very dangerous situation in the country and years the international community to try and encourage national dialogue within venezuela venezuela to sort out the political problems and not try and topple the existing president through violence and that's what was said there very strong words from a circular for of on venezuela. now let's turn to another big story this hour an r.t. it is breaking news because scotland's former first minister alex salmond has been charged and is expected to appear in court later on thursday so let's go to party boyko he's in the u.k. for us polly what more do we know then about this case and the situation so far. well look alex salmond he's the former first minister of s

to the ownership to a group of tiny islands and in a rather unusual twist this monday afternoon sergei lavrov and his japanese guest decided to talk to the journalists alone separately and a quite tough manner mr allowed made it clear that japanese officials should forget the idea of questioning russia's sovereignty over the islands if they want to get the peace agreement talks go on. this is our basic position any progress on the other issues is very difficult without a step in the right direction. drew the attention of our friends from japan to the fact that the issues of sovereignty over the islands are not discussed this is the territory of the russian federation. just a little later the japanese top diplomat said that despite the differences the two sides must find common ground so the moscow summit and the appearance of the two ministers was meant to be all about moscow and tokyo's attempts to sort these issues out however beijing and washington ended up getting a mention all because of the japanese prime minister's aide just a little earlier saying that washington should be look

sergey lavrov latching about the firing and -- >> celebrating. >> celebrating and saying this really gives me a lot of breathing room or something to that effect. you know, that this takes the pressure off me. and, you know, it's -- these fbi agents are sitting there saying, oh, my god, what if the unthinkable is actually not unthinkable? >> and then, ronado, isn't that what the fbi is supposed to do? things that raise suspicion, follow up on it. "the times" spells out this was quite methodical, painstaking, saying that back in 2016, the fbi -- i'm quoting now from "the new york times" -- held off on opening an investigation into them, the people said, in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry of such sensitivity and magnitude. so it sounds as though they were trying to check themselves to make sure that this was justified, these kinds of inquiries were justified. because so much would be at stake. >> well, can you imagine the difficult situation the fbi was in, fred? i mean, how challenging this must have been for them? you have these men and women working a

john: larry and sergey, just as they are today, were creative guys that liked to think outside the boxhowed me a demo of it. and i was astonished. because at that time, we had other search engines. i thought, search, it's kind of done. infoseek, all these other ones out there. the problem was, you do a search for john hennessy, you get a whole string of hits not necessarily in any order. often ordered by the number of times the text appears in the document. so, i typed it in. brad: so wait, your first google search is a vanity search? [laughter] john: what i wanted to do is i wanted to see whether it would find, for example, a paper of mine, and find that high up on the list. the firs person who was president then was gerhard casper. and i remember showing him the search. and he was upset because sometimes when you search him, you get a casper the friendly ghost site, and for a constitutional lawyer, this was not a good thing. this is not what searches do. so he types in gerhard casper stanford and it was at the top of the search list. so i realized they had really made a breakthrough

ukraine two months ago because of the muscle speaking in moscow off to meeting his russian counterpart sergey lavrov love also said russia had accepted a proposal from germany and france for german observers to monitor the strait which links the black sea to the sea off of my ukraine temporarily imposed martial law after russia captured three of its best since in the case straight russia has also detained twenty four you create in seaman who was truly the best. on the job is correspondent in moscow is bush news so was worth more than a month ago chancellor merkel asked president putin to allow german exports into the strait of kurdish civilian cure should school produce. with them to study how passage this trade is organized especially in terms of security which is a prosperous ship captains with a pass through the strait a good president putin a great back then and so foreign minister masses to die presented me with a plan in europe it sets up the conditions the experts journey for you these conditions now have to be great with the ukrainian side so we believe that if the ukrainians agree wi

you also want them to change the voting structure and the share ownership so that larry and sergey don'te as much power. frank: right. we wanted to go to a one-to-one structure. there should only be one vote for each share. the only reason they control the company is not ownership of stock but the voting rights. they can effectuate whatever they wantthey can effectuate whr they want through their voting control, and we feel that is a big the problem. they were involved with wrongdoing so if you change it to one vote per shareholder, as the case with many publicly traded companies, you will allow the public shareholders to have greater input into these issues. emily: all right. we will be following this every step of the way.appreciate you coming by here to share the case you are trying to make. ann, who filed the suit against alphabet. frank: thank you. emily: spacex launched and landed it was rookie of the year.what to expect from the company for the rest of 2019. ♪ emily: space acts has successfully launched its first mission of what is expected to be a busy 2019. on friday, the compan

between syrian government representatives and representatives of the kurds as the foreign minister sergei lavrov said this month he encouraged those talks so that's really where we're at at the moment and russia will be kind of mediating between the turkish side the kurdish side and the syrian side to kind of get the country back under syrian control which is in its interest to funnel funding to your door in jones turkish troops have been massing of the border with syria how likely is an assault on courage held territory and how would that affect russian interests the prison at one hundred head of the already to wait and see how developments play out following the u.s. his announcement that he is withdrawing and his proposal of the save so. they are looking forward to key meetings with u.s. military officials in the first week of february most of the talk you've seen is key because despite all the rhetoric coming from uncle saying they won't tolerate the presence of this kurdish militia it is seen by most people that's unlikely. to both challenge putin the putin resisted this military zon

this was the oval office meeting with sergey lavrov and sergey kislyak.'ll recall that sergey kislyak was the russian ambassador to the u.s. who so many people got into trouble for lying about talking to. multiple members of the trump administration, trump campaign spoke to this guy, including michael flynn, and lied to the fbi about talking to him. and that's him on the right of your screen. sergey lavrov is the russian foreign minister. in light of what this was about, "the new york times" headline says that trump told the russians in that meeting, where no u.s. press were allowed to attend, the picture, the readout seemed to come from russia that firing the quote, nut job comey, eased pressure on the investigation. just having covered donald trump for as long as you have, why does he seem to not be able to keep it in? why does he seem to be so open and overt about announcing his fealty to russia? >> because, while donald understands right from wrong and guilt, he really creates his own reality. and he has no moral core. so saying things just come out o

. >> just days after comey was fired, trump met with sergei lavrov. he said firing comey erases pressure on him. how does that resonate in the intelligence community? >> not well. that is a real red flag, no pun intended. not to mention all the other -- this is consistent with the pattern of the deference to russia and to putin. i don't think he would try it in an earlier segment of yours. cited the behavior of helsinki. >> all they can do is ask the question. people came to me and dan coats came to me and some others. president putin, he just said it's not russia. zblfr still continue about the red flags that that would raise. >> well, again, i think that -- that performance and that statement would just real red flag. again, no pun intended. it seemed to reinforce what the intelligence community is long concerned about and certainly i was. the vilification of the intelligence community and the fbi and anybody that was involved with our assessment or the follow on investigations. and when i think the helsinki was kind of the epitome or the low water

. >> in the room where sergei kislyak the russian ambassador to the u.s. sergei lavrov the russian foreign minister and according to the report from the "new york times" the president said i just fired the head of the fbi, he was crazy, a real nut job. i faced pressure from russia. that taken off. in the context of what we know now, how do you see this statement? >> i say sharing basically information with the russians about what the investigation is going on, he's pull the investigator back and maybe that will die down. this case, we talked about this for a long time on this show has been about following the money. a lot of this could have been subvertd had we just talked about the business transactions of trump's tax return. now we see for the first time this week that there is money involved. that was money of the ukrainian government or ukrainian representative owed manafort. there is this question of money moving back and forth. now we are starting to see that. there is no explanation from one of trump's sons when he said trump is not giving over the

. >> so russia's deputy foreign minister sergei ryabkov spoke to my colleague frederick pleitgen anduld be an agent of russia. here he is. >> i mean, it's completely, completely out of touch with anything that could be conceived as, you know, anywhere close to the reality. i am amazed. i am embarrassed by what i see and what i hear from the u.s. it's just incredible how people are speculating on russia and the whole issue on how relationship developed in recent years for domestic political purposes. >> so let's just be clear, okay, susan, this wasn't just people who know. this is the fbi investigating trump's actions because they seemed in their mind to be benefitting russia. they were concerned. >> well, that's right. this is -- you're referring to the recent "new york times" report, which i think to me was one of the most significant revelations we've had in recent weeks saying that the fbi had opened a counterintelligence investigation to understand what was motivating president trump and whether his actions that appeared to benefit russia, you know, were in fact designed to do so

i was invited to victoria and sergey kolesnik of the new flat. just do not send the boy in the picture of what. i know so i'd second it unless there is a crazy way at what nasa qatar is. the last time said those national have ever seen a crane only need it now. get it economy going after you got a little. business just need as much and. come in yet a bullet points first they will believe you were. good if you didn't do most but i believe if you didn't do the preceding you. usually see you just could not prize and it's going to come from. musical puts into two groups also all. the other countries in the government is there somebody i really must say he's a leader on the. i'm not pushing to blow up a couple well you. just move please a story. we brought you to school. or did you get to. know the. i know it don't go there oh no it was to me yeah i just googled regulus from you could then you eat it i could double to personal use your term but the oil we did like that would. give a piece richard company money to shame your stomach. when your business

lavrov and sergey kislyak and said he fired the fbi director because of the russia thing and stopping the russia investigation, they had to assume that there was a nefarious intent in his activities and it is quite possible he could have been turned or was working in his own interest which equaled russia's interest. >> let me follow up on that. there is all of the terms, that he's run as an agent or witting or unwitting and he's been turned. what does that mean? let's turn this away from a president. if a foreign power manages to acquire an american individual in asset, a person in business or the state department, there are different ways that can play out. what are they? what does that mean? >> well there are varying degrees and the most common start off with a useful idiot. a person who does something for their own interest, which just happens to align with a foreign power's interest. then there is a fellow traveller. that is a person who has ideologically the same as another power and they do things because they believe the same beliefs. then you have an unwitting asset, a person

. >> that's right, ana, that meeting with sergei kisliek and lavarov as well raised quite a few eyebrow, the president offering references to american intelligence assets and suggesting that pressure would be relieved by firing comey also is very questionable. it leads to a pattern of behavior on behalf of president trump that would directly draw into question his claim that he has been tough on russia. let's not forget that press conference that he held with vladimir putin in helsinki failing to confront the russian leader over election meddling. and one of the men in the meeting, there are many questions about his contacts with former nsa director michael flynn during the transition period, and even during the 2016 republican convention. his conversations with jeff sessions, the former attorney general, were scrutinized by congress. some accusing sessions of lying to congress about those conversations. of course, for his part, the former attorney general saying he couldn't recall some of those conversations. >> boris sanchez, at the white house, thank you. >>> joining us now to discus

and says it's ready to help facilitate mediation in a briefing a short time ago foreign minister sergei lavrov said in order for negotiations to be successful and as well as opposition is to drop all preconditions related in the region that it will to mottled if this mediation sees any attempt to include any kind of preconditions dinette kind of mediation is unlikely to be fruitful or useful it is unlikely to be supported we call upon the opposition to refuse ultimatums and to work together independently god is only by the interests of the venezuelan people and the joins us from moscow research various countries rally around maduro how is russia trying to play the situation. well i think we can certainly see similarities with what's going on here regarding venezuela and what was happening a few years ago in syria with that was russia say yes there should be talks yes of course there should be dialogue but the opposition cannot be demanding anything of what russia considers to be a legitimate government in syria without assad and now in venezuela with madieu row as well it's a very simil

those are real questions. >> but this sergei ryabakov also denying would interfere in u.s. to posture itself as a site that only condemns and the suspects and, you know, accuses russia of anything. >> the president would probably agree with this. >> the president has in the past, as you know, suggested maybe it was a 400-pound guy in his basement. maybe it with us the chinese. who knows? both the russians and donald trump at various points have been on the record as denying this. but remember, you should take these statements with an enormous grain of salt. not only have all u.s. lnls agencies agreed with the conclusion that it was russia's election interference, by the way, not just interference, but interference on donald trump's behalf, but these are the same folks who told us russia did not invade ukraine and did not invade crimea. guess what? that was in 2014. the russians are still there, you know. so just because they say it doesn't happen doesn't mean it didn't happen. >> more from the deputy foreign minister. watch this. >> please do not be afraid of your own shado
