because of its war that armenia had with azerbaijan over nicole no care about. which is the territory students and i see recognize as belonging to azerbaijan that conflict could always potentially reignites an army as a difficult relationship with turkey as well borders a closed on both sides with army with azerbaijan and but there have been incidents not just this one but in the past that have already made it difficult and it's to tensions between armenians and russians a few years ago to the one thousand nine were russian soldiers in a gunfight some children were killed in a landmine military base in this area and in twenty fifteen seven members of an armenian family was shot dead by russian conscripts so difficult relationship between unions and the military presence here a nickel question who has just come to power of the back of the velvet revolution. promising pick changes for all media has a very delicate balancing act to play he needs russia they need support and yet at the same time he wants to make changes here and they. this is sara lee that compatibl

armenia,ently in azerbaijan, saudi arabia, georgia. you can hardly find a border that they are not encroaching either directly or indirect and in a hostile way and that is of great concern to me. >> from the democrat line, harold. about paying our fair share let you know the president has spent a total of 69 days in mar-a-lago. we speakypocrisy when of respecting someone else and ignoring our very own. i think i president should pony up. >> i suspect if we calculate what we were paying the president per hour we would have to say we are getting a bargain. i think part of being president is the opportunity to get away from time to time. but i don't think president trump is different than any other president that they don't spend almost every waking minute and really almost every minute working hard on behalf of the united states. consumed with the problems of being president. from west virginia on the independent line. james. hello. you are on. go ahead. i would like to comment that i think the president is doing a good job and i don't t

pplying these principles ree.g i think i azerbaijan is an example of how a kleptocracy can punch its weight internationally. extra measure of attention is allowed from international audiences. we don't know what kind of effect this had on the other kleptocracy's. kleptocracies. and other organizations and think tanks. iser by jean has taken money in order to further its own message erbaijan has taken money in order to further its own message for international audiences. this includes countries like russia and kazakhstan and so forth. >> thank you. i am an incoming master students at john hopkins and i spent a summer with the library of congress. we just learned about the proliferation of anti-money laundering measures. wonder if there have been measures in countries like poland, for example, of stopping these measures from going into law? will give you perhaps -- i will give you perhaps a surprising observation. this is on the basis of ukraine related sanctions against putin -- italy. registry ofd a housing. $36 million dollars in italy putin -- poor people should be given compensati

satellite picture we can see the cloud here it's also been with us over parts of turkey and into azerbaijan and it's all interesting its way eastwards but being replenished so more weather here as we head through saturday and into sunday actually sundays looking a bit wetter and that area of rain just pushes a little bit further towards the west so more of us in turkey will see that rain there's also the risk of seeing a bit of it in ankara as well towards the south the draw as you might expect for many of us here beirut about thirty degrees and still pretty hot in baghdad at forty six now here in doha our temperature really depends on the wind direction at this time of year because it comes from the east that it brings in the humidity and the temperatures are actually lower but it feels very sticky that's what's happening on saturday so forty four degrees will be our maximum but it will feel quite sticky quite a bit of humidity around there on sunday the winds change that we firing down from the north and that's a draw a direction for the air and with dry air the temperatures can get that

great question thank you actually i'll start with the war by john azerbaijan we started war with. its ball flies for so there's not going on which they claim to be their land but styling back then he just signed a contract for twenty five years and was an armenian land. would say that's a land army or so that's army allowed ok but currently we have our means to leave there for decades. you can go and do the research. but it's an old story of fighting over land and sea ice over and over and so this point the war doesn't stop now what kampusch do at this point i think russia's role it's significant huge in this politics because russia. about two years ago financed which a lot of weapons so he did the same thing for armenians so what does that mean keep the patient guys i don't think was ours once war armenians don't want war no one in baku ones were there eighteen years old they go to war and they you know next thing they're dead so we want war we want our kids get killed now you've russia is financing both sides what does that mean are they going to solve this problem or not absolu

over georgia recently the satellite picture is showing that area of cloud also affecting us in azerbaijan and in the far eastern parts of turkey and it's all drifting its way towards the east but it hasn't released us and just yet as we head through the next few days this area of cloud is still going to be with us and turning heavier as we head through sunday just pushing a little bit further towards the west we could see a few outbreaks of rain in ankara as well to the south of all of that is dry and hot for us in beirut thirty degrees and even hotter for us in baghdad and here in doha the temperatures will be rising as we head through the next few days at this time of year it all depends on the humidity that's what dictates the temperature so forty four degrees and still with a fair amount of humidity in the air as we head through saturday but on sunday it's a very dry air and so the temperatures will get that bit higher so forty eight degrees hot but a dry heat for us that in towards the southern parts of africa we've got a fair amount of cloud in the south you can see it all drifting

we're seeing quite a few showers make their way down from parts of russia into georgia and into azerbaijan and i think this is the region we're likely to see more showers as we head through saturday as well a bit further towards the south and here in doha the temperature or hour around forty three degrees at the moment we are seeing some winds coming from the east that's the direction that drags in or are humidity so it's still quite sticky forty two forty three degrees will be our maximum as we head through the next couple of days for the south coast of iran more cloud here as you would expect at this time if you might give us a little bit of drizzle times as well dentals in southern parts of africa and here we've just got a bit of cloud along the far south coast that's giving us a fair amount of rain though and also bringing in some rather strong winds it's working its way towards the east and as it does say is going to drag down the temperatures so capetown no higher than around fourteen or fifteen degrees as we head through the next few days and they could be quite a good deal of cloud

another key country, australia, azerbaijan, another key source and we're going to try to shut down awheel shipments we don't have an ambassador in cutter, australia, azerbaijan, georgia, somalia, georgia, kazakhstan. all key countries if we are going to ask people to join us in the sanctions. you just said earlier that you have weekly meetings with the president. ask him to pick a few of these countries and appoint an ambassador so that your treasury personnel who does a wonderful job, very hard working people can actually work with the treasury liaison you have wonderful vendors. it is especially timely the u.s. is just right out in the next month or so in the position of overtaking saudi arabia as a number two producer to surpassing thsurpassin the veryt is occurring because republicans actually put an end to the bill december 2015 the ability to export for the first time in 40 years but has allowed an unprecedented expansion in the fields that we are for and probably not really economics of again i complement you on the stances of the administration with regards to energy. so many

tells us the president will have four quick pull-aside, four quick meetings with the leaders of azerbaijan, romania and georgia. the summit got off to a raucous start. the president accusing u.s. allies, accusing nato member nations of being delinquent. of not pulling their fair share, not pulling their weight. not spending enough on their own defense. also accusing some of those same nations of trade abuses, the president floating a proposal for member nations to increase their military budgets from 2% gdp, 12% of their total economic output to 4% and the president as you mentioned is tweeting about it. here's what he writes. presidents have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get germany and other rich nato nations to pay more toward their protection from russia. they pay only a fraction of their cost. the u.s. pays tens of billions of dollars. too much to subsidize europe and loses big on trade. look, the president has a point. other american presidents have complained about the cost sharing burden when it comes to nato, but the difference is former presidents barack obama, george w

azerbaijan, we don't have an ambassador in qatar, australia, azerbaijan, libya, kazakhstan, panama, venezuela, all key countries if we're going to ask them to join in sanctions. you said earlier that you have weekly meetings with the president. ask him to pick a few of these 20 or so countries and appoint an ambassador so that your treasury personnel can do a wonderful job, very wonderful, hard-working people and your treasury liaison, you've got some members over there-- some treasury liaisons handing four or five countries in the middle east. we've got a lot of work to do and i don't buy that these sanctions are going to go as you think they are. >> and the time has expired. recognizing from mu new york stock exchange, mr. pierce. >> thank you, mr. secretary. thank you for being here, thank you, mr. chairman. so, the discussion on the oil is one that's especially timely. the u.s. is just right now in the next month or so in the position of overtaking saudi arabia as the number two producer, we will surpass russia in the very near future and that, all of that is occurring because the republi

the british also had multiple fronts with the advance in mesopotamia and azerbaijan. british captured baghdad in forces april 1917, and continue to attack north with eyes on capturing mosul. the concern with respect to mosul was the result of controlling christian refugees and eastern portions of anatolia in what is often termed the armenian genocide. it was thought if the british controlled mobile -- mosul, they could keep the refugees in the north and prevent any expansion of attacks on the christian populace. a second reason for attacking north was to control the grain for people in baghdad and basra. many of the units advancing on mosul learned of the war's end from turkish soldiers under white flags. turkish forces were forced to abandon the mosul governorate. such successful action encouraged similar movements. it was held by mustafa kemal, and he wanted to fight. constantinople ordered him to withdraw. the capitulation of the capital in the face of advances gave additional support for those turks who believe the ottoman government to be corrupt. even before his

me, this guy here from azerbaijan living in moscow. because i know mr. donald trump who is the current president of the united states. just because he appeared in one of my videos and i hosted with him miss universe in 2013 from moscow. during those three days we rigged the american election and helped him become president of the united states. >> he may be my lawyerly than he looks because what was said is not the accusation and what's strange is the meeting orchestrated at trump tower. on that he isn't saying much although there is some attempt to come out of the woodwork. in a new interview with abc he won't explain why an aide to his father's business attended the trump tower meeting and would not comment on the substance of the meeting which is important but notes something that everyone has been tracking here in the united states, he asserts he has not spoken to mueller i'm joined now by frank freddie gig. let's begin with what paul manafort's lawyers are saying. >> they wanted to get him closer to the courthouse because it's a major pain in the ne
