constantin: the directions are on the bottle.eporter: the trial against dragut is already in its second year. the court wants expert advice from the agricultural authorities, but they haven't even looked into the case. and the beekeepers suspect that's because dreguts's wife works in the agency and is protecting her husband. constantin: the evidence shows that i'm innocent. everything was signed and permitted. i was supposed to exterminate ticks. they live in the fields, not on airplanes or ships. so that's where i sprayed. i am not to blame. reporter: the beekeepers see it differently. the company ignored interview requests, but this invoice shows that it delivered fiprocid to animal breeders, although the e.u. banned the chemical in 2013. fiprocid killed about 50 million bees here in 2015. costel gresala is sad that no one seems to have learned anything from that. costel: we exported honey from here all over europe, to germany, france, italy. there were contracts. but since the disaster, since the bees died, we no longer sell h

joining me tonight is constantine for nader if he is a russia analyst a columnist and a former b.b.c. moscow bureau chief this different it is good to have you on the show you know we just heard there in that report that vladimir putin stands for stability and keeping things the way they are so is that was that his platform is that what was the reason why he won the election. well i think that you can't even say that you won the election because it wasn't an election in the. well sense in which it is seen in western democracy it was rather a column ation not even of a president and but of a god head of the commandant of fortress russia that stands up to the west that is today mr putin's main claim to authority and legitimacy inside the country and as for the rest it's all completely secondary if you compare it to his speech six years ago during the third unlike the ration it's pretty much the same saying we're going to make life better ok you have a sense that life is going to do what's right lots have a lot of economic progress but we've seen a lot of confrontation with the world and

presidential race constantine costa chief says that washington never explained why he was targeted much earlier with which you're with me because i was added to the think sions list with no explanation the only reason given on the u.s. treasury department's website is that i'm an official of the russian government it didn't affect any of my personal interests as i don't have bank accounts or assets in the us is made it impossible for me to continue my attempts to bridge the gap between our parliaments then i also had my visa an old we should allow me to take part in the un meetings in the us a week ago i was supposed to attend a general assembly meeting on a resolution that i could. unfortunately i wasn't allowed to take part the same though applies to other international organizations it's a blatant violation by the us as the host of an international organizations h.q. it goes against international law and rules diplomacy i'm assured that i was told it did for my beliefs and political activity which has nothing to do with the united states. as many as seven hundred mexican children hav

the hub of the capital social life the arch of constantine is right next door. from rome itself the coliseum is far more than just a tourist attraction event. when the city of rome celebrates the anniversary of its founding on april the twenty first. a procession of romans in costume. from the circus maximus to the coliseum. of course so it represents both modern and ancient rome and. more. about six million people visit this landmark every year. i think it's a lot larger than i expected it really is the gem of the city this kind of buildings is very impressive if you mention the time that they build it in. this is my first time in this magnificent eternal city of europe in general and italy in particular. many euro max viewers have also been to the colosseum and sent in their souvenir photos. on the north sales of souvenirs a blooming. there a little bobble head gladiator. models of the building. times pictures to hang on the wall. in a cafe nearby. the latest batch of inquiries. during spring and summer around one to one and a half hours and people contact me

falling out let's bring in russia alison commentator constantine funny good morning to ascertain what is russia going to do now would join the e.u. in trying to keep this the old life. rhetorical yes practically we've already seen the united states in voting more sanctions on russian defense production sites and yet another set of sanctions on russia in general and minister of defense and military intelligence directorate. in this is russia here already is also implicated by by washington and east seen from washington as iran's ally which is actually true what i think wooden's trying to do now he's trying to avoid being drawn much more deeply into a possible confrontation between the united states iran and israel that's why he had talks with the israeli prime minister netanyahu in moscow on the night of may i think that most canet is that it doesn't have a lot of resources to take part in this really big regional conflicts and it would like to state a way as much and as long as it can from any kind of conflagration ok as you mentioned there constantine russia is of course aransas ally

to miss a un general assembly meeting earlier this month after finding his visa had been an old constantine course a child who oversees foreign affairs in the upper house of the russian parliament was added to the u.s. sanctions list back in april to explain to his visa which allowed him to take part in meetings at the un's new york headquarters was canceled meant that he had to sit out a discussion of a resolution that actually coauthored the recent u.s. sanctions against russia targeted more than a dozen top government officials and seven of the country's richest men sanctions were linked to the ukraine crisis and moscow's alleged attempts to interfere in the twenty sixth the us presidential race on sunday because the chief says that washington never explained why he was targeted. and actually up earlier with your. i was added to the think sions list with no explanation the only reason given on the u.s. treasury department's website is that i'm an official of the russian government it didn't affect any of my personal interests as i don't have bank accounts or assets in the us is made it i

constantine: it is up to the central bank.ontrol prices , so we saw it act last week -- sorry, last month. it raised interest rates by 75 basis points and speculation is going they may have to raise again when they meet in june. francine: what does that mean? first of all, how independent is the central bank? do we only find out if they go against the will of everyone question -- eog there is always speculation that central bank is coming under political pressure, and analysts criticize policymakers for being behind the curve. as we have seen, at the md of the day, the central bank does act and raise rates. unfortunately, investors believe that is too little and too late to put these consumer prices in check. francine: thank you so much, our bloomberg istanbul based reporter. james bevan is here with his final thoughts. when you look at fed normalization policy and the ifrging markets, communication stays as it is and it is accepted by the markets there should not be any kind of big swings. james: absolutely right. as rates ti

campaign to a russian oligarch who is close to putin and did it through an intelligence officer named constantinethat may be what mueller's looking at as well. but this question really applies far more widely than just to manafort. >> well, david, the book is called "russian roulette." it could easily be crossword puzzles in 2016 with all the names. jessica, i don't know if you want to buy a vowel but bottom line how would this questioning work if you were sitting there and you did not see the questions being leaked? >> one, they start with very open ended questions. and i think part of it is the initial question really is important in the sense what you want to do as a prosecutor is just get donald trump talking. because we know that will basically be an unequivocal good thing for the special counsel and i think an unequivocally bad thing for donald trump. but then i also think what we've heard is the follow up questions are going to be key. and every -- my guess is every bit of this from what donald trump's rambling first answers are going to be to what the follow up questions are going to be h

by now lily and constantine -- those are his two older children -- are adults over 20. even anna, that's my mom, must be gone by now. we've run out of hope here for new ideas, for a new and a strong china. this leader in china in the '40s, the most famous collaborator, said he did not believe the communists would bring a better china. i fear he may have been right. and then the end of the chapter, these are my words, the record is uncertain, but my grandfather died either during the famine or just before it hit. >> i'm going to open it up for questions or comments, but we talked before this, one of the things that foreigners like myself really are not allowed to talk about is, you know, positive influence of western civilization in china. and so many of your relatives really straddle the east and west, and so so many of their experiences are deriving, you know, knowledge or in some cases spiritual, spirituality from westerners who are in china. talk about that process of discovery for you. >> yes. to be sure, this is a version of the history. i don't, i try not to prese

clearest political embodiment is, i think, the most significant shift in western culture since constantine converted to christianity. and we're still living with the digital revolution in a chapter of that story, because it's about the diffusion of power from the hands of the few to the hands of the many. the digital world is faster, but there's a line between what's happening in your pocket with your phone right now and what guttenberg was doing 500 years ago. and what henry viii was doing and what martin luther was doing. it was about a move from collective, individualized authority to elective choice and being able to determine your own destiny. and if you argue that you intrinsically cannot trust that which is reported and that which you are taught, then you are foreclosing the capacity, the possibility of reason to direct human affairs insofar as it can. and i think that's the pernicious thing about attacking journalists, attacking stories that you simply don't like. >> well, that's part of my concern when i asked you about putting it back together, is that there's a large percentage

the yanakovich political party and the oligarch whose interactions with manafort through this guy constantinethe mueller probe and paul manafort is having trouble paying his bills from the mueller probe. so, all the financial distress that sort of led him to this situation can be linked to some extent to this jeffrey yohai guy who is now working with investigators, potentially in the cases against manafort. >> so, manafort has been, i believe, charged with more crimes than anyone else in the mueller probe. he has not pleaded to any of them. is there any speculation among watchers, close watchers of the legal machineations of the mueller probe that this may be a piece that turns paul manafort into a cooperating witness, that once federal investigators know everything his son-in-law knows, it may no longer be sustainable for him to not plead guilty to something? >> i think there may be that ponlt, nicolle. and the reason why i think it, it's sort of on tap terrain. we've seen a bunch of charges and a bunch of court filings that layout the case that mueller has built against manafort on things l

only time travelers been a few crashes already before the race started and a better looser rider constantine sits off already out of the race and never got to ride the race at all he crashed in practice today so a little bit controversial all around but it's gone off to a good start health cost the other controversy surrounding the event the ongoing doping questions that chris from a faces do you think he should be in this race in the first place. that's a very very difficult question to answer it is taking such a long time to sort out did he take a salvagable into a system through an aspirin any more than the allowed to mountain twenty four hour period the results say he took it twice twice the level in the tour spain last september and then no one here giving a result yet and chris's attitude is look it should be confidential it was leaked probably from the doping so i'd rather than from his team and he said i'm just going to race not going to give you only commentary on what's going on the riders themselves it depends who you speak to some say it should look race until it is all over and

all the churches until up about 200 years and constantine change theat sabbath day from saturdayo the day of the sun, sundayy because they were worshipers in rome. >> host: orlando, we've got the point.t. seth? >> guest: as orlando says clearly the early christians were all jews and the christians were a branch off judaism. at that time judaism had a fair number of different routes and the followers of jesus became one of those different groups. jesus and his followers would have observed the sabbath within their jewish context but by the time we see the book of revelation we see that there is this worship on what they call the lord's day which was celebrating this memory of the resurrection. i'm not sure i know the details of exactly as we move from a six-day to a seventh date let's say but i believe it was a fairly early. >> host: part of me. were appear on the second floor of the museum of the bible and this is the impact for we are talking about literature in the bible and one of the biggest impacts of the bible is on early america and a companion network american history tv has t
