welcome to callinan grat a russian enclave slap bang in the middle of the baltic coast right now russia is hosting the world cup and callin grad is no exception across the board russia spent more than ten billion euros on the world cup on new airports roads and venues kaliningrad has also splashed out and it's at this stadium costing hundreds of millions of euros where the england versus belgium match kicks off in the past few hours but when when all the footy fans go will the expensive been worth it. these sucker fans are spending their evenings partying in the polish city of get down and not one hundred fifty kilometers away in kaliningrad where their team's games are taking place there among many world cup tourists who've been priced out of hotels in the host cities in kaliningrad and night the commendation will set you back at least two hundred euros. you can see why kaliningrad is keen to bring money back in this city stadium cost two hundred thirty five million euros after the world cup it will become the training ground for baltic kaliningrad a second division russian team. to ka

my final question, we have not talked about the baltic states. i've been concerned particularly after russians invasion of georgia and crimea, what could be next. our response about ukraine i hope is strong, can you give me your assessment about the dangers of russian meddling in the baltics? >> the dangers are very real. the baltics, the security as never been stronger with america. it sets the standard across the region for -- i think we have to be diligent in this area both militarily and in regard to hybrid threats. we have strong pathways of coordination with all three of these countries. >> we appreciate your service. in incredibly important relationship are dealing with an unstable environment and world. thank you for your service and testimony. the record will remain open till thursday, june 20. this hearing is adjourned.

the balance of conventional capability in the baltic region. pointing out some of the capability and posture gaps that pose that short-term possibly unlikely scenario. it is -- there's a larger deterrence discussion there, which i think is important. and i don't want to get into it too much right now, unless there is more interest in that, or grab me afterwards and daryl will sound more intelligent about it than i. but, like, they don't have a story for how they deal with blue air without using nuclear weapons. which should give us pause, as well. if they're going to take the risk of going into an operation that is an incredible risk from their perspective, especially with how they have behaved in the past. i don't know if that's answering your question. dara? >> well, they have certain domain-specific sensitivities. so it is their belief that the air domain, the air space domain, is going to be the center of gravity in warfare moving forward. and they look at our capabilities in that regard, and it makes them very deeply uncomfortable in terms

and that's also already shaping the torch baltics in the last three years and also i had at that this the identity issue identity politics the seven percent of our party waters probably majority of them have water for the image be because they were somehow not happy with their party in the first place but also they want to also. it was a kind of gesture towards m.h.z. and its attitude after the queer term and their support for the party idea for many . people felt that they have to also. support image b. and the second issue is and other issues with this. i mean the one after i guess the measure of the. analysis i mean the fetter if we really understand what photo is above i mean a photo is about infiltration hiding your on what use. is about deception and the fetter is still today trying to influence torch baltics and they were ok a lot of. time is getting short. no i don't think the do so.

in the baltic countries we've been raising that issue with the. storage of the baltic states repeatedly you can really imagine the modern civilized society. hundreds of thousands of people who are called citizens i mean do we have any such good care to green international law non-citizen people without citizenship we have people with no citizenship or people with dual citizenship or to have never had such a notion such a category as a normal citizen it's something invented by the countries that were invented to a limited human rights of those people who reside of those territories. but the means that we should take to defend the interest of our compatriots but again we should need to take appropriate measures so that we don't exacerbate the situation that we are now pursuing a policy of dialogue with our partners from the european union and i'm sure that at one point it would feel ashamed and embarrassed they've been point pointing. human rights violations beyond the u. but they should. these violations. inside the e.u. go. well there's the russia

but this match is by a beach on the baltic, and the fa ns by a beach on the baltic, and the fans areully kicked out, despite the heat wave, and the california goal who is backing england. he makes me follow england, so... england. he makes me follow england, so... and this time it has meant such a bad team to follow, right? so far, so good. hopefully we will qualify, at least. we will see where we go from there. things like this are not what most people imagine when they think of russia, but then kaliningrad, this russian exclave in the hart of europe, is unlike anywhere else in the country. poland is just 40 minutes away so the fans have been pouring in by coach. that cheaper riot leaves spare cash for beer. england supporters had a timid start to this world cup. now it seems the only thing they are hiding from is the sun. sally, i watch that germany— south korea match with fans and when the final whistle went there were huge cheers where i was, because i was with a group of brazil fans, cheers where i was, because i was with a group of brazilfans, and they played in moscow last nig

the baltic states weren't even close. through the prism of partisan politics. russian aggression can feel abstract, more of a nuisance than an urgent concern. some charge the kremlin influenced trump's campaign in secret meetings, which is at the heart of a long u.s. investigation. it certainly meddled in the elections by marshalling an online army, one that we could not see. but for countries in eastern europe, some of which are within an hour's drive of st. petersburg, things look very different. even with nato's presence, russia could capture them in a matter of days, according to a recent rand report. so, they are all doing a lot more than making tv shows about it. up next, does america need another branch of the armed services? well, if the army, navy, air force, marines and coast guards weren't enough, the space force will soon be coming to a galaxy near you, but is it a good idea? i will ask neil degrasse tyson. when you're particular, you want things done right. that's why we test all of our paints and stains for

of baltic states repeatedly. you cannot imagine in a modern civilized society hundreds of thousands of people who are called noncitizens. do we have any such category and international law/mark noncitizens? we have people with no citizenship or people with dual citizenship but you've never had such a notion or category of no citizen. it was something invented to eliminate the legitimate rights of people who live in those territories. the steps we should take, we should need to take appropriate measures so we don't exacerbate the situation. we are now pursuing a policy with her partners from the european union and i'm sure at one point they would feel ashamed and embarrassed. they been pointing out human rights violations beyond the eu yet they allow these violations inside the eu. there is a russian saying, if you see us back in the eye of your opponent but you don't see a log in your own eye. we will continue to take all the necessary steps but we won't harm the people living there. >> the governors and minister

can you discuss the danger of russian meddling in the baltics. --? >> i think those concerns are very real. the political relationships with the united states have never been stronger. those are model democracies and have set the standard for the bulwarks. we have to be diligent in this area, both militarily and hybrid cyber threats. we want to have strong coordination with all three of these countries. >> doctor mitchell, we really do appreciate your service. incredibly important relationships we are dealing with, in a very unstable environment in the world. thank you for your service and your testimony. with that, the hearing will remain open until the closing of minutes. this hearing is adjourned. , what someone.

lithuania is on the baltic sea. i am the chair of the baltic caucus. lithuanian, estonia, latvia. watching and encouraging them and their actually leadership of eastern europe. they set out in 2014 to become independent of russian gas. and so they went through the process of getting the l.n.g. terminal. i love the name. it's called the independence. so they can be independent and free. they have a history of being extorted by the russians in the crude oil department. ere's a refinery there which a u.s. company bought. and then the russians turned off the oil. so that's the extortions and the concerns. now what they have is the ability to compete in the open market. they had their first l.n.g. gas come from the united states earlier in 2017. and they now have an ability to negotiate for the best price, which helps a lot. first of all, it helps their citizens. it helps their obviously businesses. it also helps the allies in surrounding countries because now what they've been able to do is negotiate through the baltic region of pipelines, storage, and talks -- as we have had talks, a

treaties and agreements, despite cyber attacks against the united states and europe, especially the baltics, despite the occupation of sovereign territory in ukraine, georgia and moldova, president trump has been virtually silent on russia's aggression. tragically, this silence has not gone unnoticed by our closest international partners. the pew research center did a poll that shows our allies' trust in leadership is plummeting. only 11% of those who life in germany had confidence in president trump and in great britain only 22%. this is compared to 86% and 97% in those countries under president obama. gallup did a poll. after two years of his presidency, approval of his leadership is at a new low of 30% with the biggest drops of approval coming from those nations who stood by us in alliance for seven decades. the devastating message is clear, at a time when russia is challenging nato in new and more aggressive ways, our nato allies are losing faith in america. donald tusque, the european council president said the european union is no longer allusions that the united states is a trustwort

is the second stop on what they've called their baltic world to. when we were offered london paris and new york or finland denmark and germany we opted for finland denmark and germany was for reasons of provincial ism and local matter it is a man does a statement against. well i forget my state but again something. some of the paintings are brand new almost gut reactions. to them out of we weren't allowed to do that in art school to our gut feelings but it was forbidden so that we would do enough to deal with some of the gut is a second brain involved well i think the third one actually i'm just going to. do you understand everything and nothing. breaks brain drain brain people think it's a joke but they're kidding themselves of course. there are also several individual works by the three contemporary artists who are inspired by absurdism and. it's called david bowie because we couldn't think of anything better or more stupid and it was. the exhibition title certainly didn't push off the museum. isn't guns with us we're very glad to be part of this

by some point homo sapiens arrived in europe and europe in places like here on germany's baltic sea coast. and by the time they got there their skin turned pale. nowadays of course some people deliberately head out into the sun to get a towel. these marseilles in eastern africa are still as dark as the early humans. dark skin protect you more effectively from powerful ultraviolet radiation in the tropics. skin that's darker contains a larger amount of a natural pigment called melanin. and the protection it provides is important because u.v. rays destroy budiman in the body that is important to subdivision for example during prenatal developement. up in the high north because u.v. radiation is so much weaker than in africa people of alt tabbing pale skin with less melanin. because the body also needs u.v. rays to produce the human team that plays an important role in building bones and helps ensure the immune system works optimally. if outlet is right right up in class only they do you have a question then just ask in return will things you a small surprise send us your question by video t

the settlement was built at the end of the shoreline an inlet on the baltic sea. it was a strategic location for training precious metals weapons and pelt today it's a treasure trove of jests. behind me the eyes here of a viking age settlement in the ninth tenth and eleventh centuries but at first glance it doesn't look like much because it's just a green meadow but there's usually in archaeology the real treasures lie underground and here behind us there isn't a square centimeter that doesn't contain archeological finds. we always say hey that was archaeologically contaminated. in the nearby viking museum visitors can inspect many of the original artifacts. it's one of because shine is the most popular museum. over one hundred thousand people come and usually in search of the real vikings. the museum shows the viking is highly developed from the sun still the smiths are not for example or the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit is. a fortune for the profession unlike the classic image of the vikings as warriors what i find after such an intense examinat

in addition to that, you have conventionalisks of conflict in places like the baltic region, and the russian forces are building up. in syria, this b hn largely an underreported story, but we have several hundred russian mercenaries who the russiansed n effect as soldiers who were annihilated by american air power because they crossed at line te americans said to not cross. that is a red-on-blue conflict. onventional, not nuclear but it has the risk of escalation. we have not seen that for a very long time since the worst days of the cold war. jane: president trumbeen very reluctant to criticize mr. putin. is there a chance that he will break with international pressure and soften his stance? matthew: i think trump has a number of times kind of offered this on the one hand, onhe other hand he said, look, my administration has been tougher on pressure -- on russia than any previous administration has been, and he can correctly cite an abrupt n--ber of top sanctions that forced the administration's hand that were taken up and used to sanction a number of russiani duals and institutions
