correspondent masses is in paris he is covering those talks for us and he says in the paris 1st meeting coots and selenski were able to find some common ground. well the french president put it in a nutshell and said they haven't found a magic formula there's no silver bullet coming out of this cold night here outside the palace but what they have found is a mutual conclusion that is basically split into 2 parts on the one hand you have very concrete proposals what can happen on the ground a stabilizing the cease fire until the end of the year is one concrete results and another concrete result is a small part of all prisoners that is what president selenski announced until the end of the year the other part is a bit more loose a bit less concrete but it involves the commitment to see the minster peace accord to be fulfilled so the intention to resolve this conflict and that is what german chancellor angela merkel in the press conference just now said there is a lot of goodwill here on the table that is what she can see. eric massa's there in paris for us let's have a check now of some of the

in the report there were 5 there coote riot police is the name of the unit they were accused of participating in the in the deaths are being involved in the deaths of protesters 5 years ago during the revolution in kiev so in light of that of the people the exchange what kind of reactions are being in ukraine is this being considered a success for president selenski. will any and all of these prisoner exchange in his we know there have been previous ones are greeted with a mixture of relief fanfare and a flat out joy how this will translate for support or or believe in president selenski remains to be seen obviously this is a positive step although it is it will be determined how big of a positive step because obviously the peace talks are continuing and as we've heard the fighting is continuing so there still remains to be a lot to be done before we actually see a full peace in the east and go into that in some more detail for us what what are those next steps where does this prisoner exchange fit into a larger easing of tensions between russia and ukraine. one hopes so there can be a genera

coots in siberia but the russian gas group with gazprom sealed the $55000000000.00 deal with china's oil and gas major china national petroleum corporation on the move does reflect moscow's attempt to try to mitigate the hardships that they've they've had from western financial sanctions those were imposed like we remember in 2014 during the annexation of ukraine's crimea and meanwhile he spoke earlier beijing is fighting a fight of their own with a trade war that's still ongoing but i do want to know also that according to the international energy agency china is expected to become the world's largest gas importer by next year and it's going to account for more than 40 percent of some global gas demand through 2024 and the pipeline could for fulfilled nearly 10 percent of that demand by that year in china and russia are already discussing a 2nd or even 3rd pipeline so apparently working very well this it's only day one but it's the long way to go so the u.s. i'm sure is wondering where do we go from here a huge accomplishment and this is totally going to compete with the u.s. the su

it's like game of codgers, dancing with the coots. can you just have a party where the leading candidates, whatever lien you are looking at, all of these old guys and the supposedly more fashionable candidates can't get beyond 2, 3, 4%? >> again, part of this is about consistency, and who has been the same their entire careers? i think -- i was excited, at on. one of the things you saw about her, besides running a poor campaign, was the fact that she seemed to, you know, assert certain things, and later on, she would have to walk it back. she couldn't decide what lane she is in. biden has been in the same lane his entire career, as has bernie sanders, and i think that is their strength. and, again, i think the problem is -- and this is the funny thing about the right, the right wing oftentimes talks about black people wanting black candidates, but you notice -- or black people supporting black people, and that being a race-based think more brown people supporting brown people. but as you can see, we are more concerned about supporting

was engaging in a bribery scheme threatening the national security of ukraine and also benefiting coot and an intern trying to use our tax dollars to get dirt -- >> martha: he said ultimately he didn't believe there is any crime. he is talking about the way -- >> i'm talking about fiona, i'm talking about -- >> martha: none of them said they thought it was a crime hit >> none of them are in charge of determining that way they were fact witnesses. they were fact witnesses. they presented the facts and we at the american people decide in the congress decides in the facts are very clear. >> martha: are they? >> absolutely. the judiciary didn't defend donald trump's conduct, didn't say it was a perfect call. >> martha: but you're not there yet and that's what we are talking about. if you know, when you look at -- i think one of the reasons is that the people to testify, as earnest as they were, do not necessarily resonate with the american public. they didn't move the needle at all. people in the inner circle. you have to get john bolton coming up to get mike pompeo, you have to get mick m

has been loath to criticize the saudis even after their role in the deaths of the journalists to mr coote shogi and what of that i mean donald trump is pushed and wanted a travel ban from a lot of countries that are largely muslim countries but he has not felt that way about saudi arabia even in the in the law something like this happening so it's clear what his stance may be might congress have a different position when it comes to wanting to dig into this more or very definitely because the congress has already. force trump to cut off our some of the military aid that we've been given to the saudis to support their war in yemen refueling their flights for example providing ammunition no i think that they will and i think the pentagon recognizes that which is why they said these $800.00 saudi military people are here can stay in classrooms but they can't go on firing ranges and fly and fly planes plus they're taking a look at the vetting procedures for the other 5000 people from 150 countries over the next 10 days to make sure that they've been checked before they come ok lawrence korb f

. >> senator coots. mr. chairman you are is ever gracious. let me just make sure and i may have missed this previously and forgive me if i did. for your client, what is the average person that's watching this, what is the cost to file versus the cost to challenge all the way through. so you got a business of the good startup that's very well engage. eve got a product and you come up with the trademark, your rate of file, you're ready for market, and you search the field and you think it might be fraudulent but you're not sure. what does that cost and time currently to figure that out. what is successful post grip challenge. anybody? >> i can take the easy one. the cost of file is $275 you've got a little bit of legwork on the front end. doing the things that are students are learning to do. the cost of challenge is quite high. i would say hundreds of thousands of dollars in many cases. i will leave that to micah witnesses to answer. but for our clients at least it's unclear, but certainly high that makes it hard to even step into the ring. >>
