when the soviet union collapsed, she and thousands of others returned to crimea. but things have changed in the last two years. >> people are being oppressed again. one boy who went to school with my grandson was kidnapped on his way home. they buried him alive. there have been many cases like this. people have been hanged. it's happening every day. many crimean tartar's say they have not felt safe in the annexation in 2014. once again, she has left her home. >> we did it for the safety of our children. they don't like muslims there now. reporter: despite the hardships they have endured, she is relieved the plight of crimean tartar's is beginning to receive international attention. the victory of the singer in the european song contest -- the title refers to the year of the mass deportations. it is a bitter reminder of the oppression she and her family endured under stalin. >> if i hear just a single word of that song, i raked down in tears because i know what it is all about. my thoughts are always in crimea even know i could not live there because we were sent a

when you look at the context of the cheery rating relations -- deteriorating relations, after the crimea situation, vladimir putin went on russian television and said he had been ready to use nuclear weapons of necessary during the crimea standoff. i think when backed with that kind of rhetoric, we're back to the kind of standoff where the west sees russia as a threat and russia sees the west as encircling it. i think this will be one more piece in that slightly uneasy jigsaw puzzle. anchor: that was sean walker reported for moscow. let's stay with russia and the latest on the country's doping scandal. the report in the new york times newspaper says dozens of russian athletes who competed at the 2014 winter olympics were part of an extensive state run doping program. the director of the country's anti-doping laboratory at the time claims that tainted urine samples were exchanged during the games through wall for clean urine collected months earlier. as many as 130 urine samples were destroyed and doctors were fully aware and equip to aid in doping. kremlin has dismissed the claims, sayin

russia still occupies crimea. the common thread that runs through these is that of warm-water ports. crimea's port and syria's port provide russia with access to the warm waters of the black sea and the mediterranean waters that are essential to russia's reach of aggression. despite these actions, some countries are accommodating the russian navy while allowing ports. come into their it grants russia access across the strait of guy bralta where the united kingdom has a joint operating base that hosts ships. and recent high-profile visits also and venezuela are cause for concern. governments across the globe should be isolating the russian navy not accommodating it. it must compete with geographic disadvantages lacking access to warm blue waters of the world, but these are forfeited when we lack a unified effort to deny russian vessels to call into foreign ports. the secretary of defense will have to report to congress, thus the american people on these instances and i hope governments will think twice before offer

the ukraine crisis and crimea takeover by russia and the strained relations between the u.s. and west and russia became a huge obstacle for that. that seems to have debilitated global discussions on nuclear disarmament. but many people who push for nuclear abolishment or nuclear elimination hope that this historic visit of president obama will regenerate world attention and actions on nuclear disarmament. >>> people in south korea and china were paying close attention to obama's visit. an estimated 30,000 people from the korean peninsula died in the bombing. some south korean media covered the story as it broke. south korea's public broadcaster kbs reported that obama mentioned korean victims in his speech but they said obama did not stop at the cenotaph for the korean dead at the peace memorial park in hiroshima. china's foreign minister wong yi referred to the incident. the chinese government says the former japanese army committed atrocities after entering in 1937. >> translator: hiroshima is worthy of attention but this is even more so. and should not be forgotten. the vi

it was russia who opened illegally and remains in crimea.e believe that crimea should be returned to the rightful owner, if you will. which is ukraine in terms of eastern ukraine. we have been clear that russia and the separatist that is it backs actively in ukraine and they need to comply with the commitments that they made which provides a path to resolution in this conflict. as for the future plans, hopefully she will reconnect to her family. >> you concerned about the country being put into conflict once again? >> she was a soldier imprisoned while in combat in eastern ukraine fighting separatists and russian troops on the ground at the time. i don't know what her military future holds, but i think she is speaking from that perspective. >> the question on the new taliban leader. i wanted to check to see the designated list under the u.s. >> he is not. you requested if he was on the terrorist list? he's not. >> how do you react that he rejected the peace process? >> rejected the peace process. >> they rejected the peace process. >> look.

rationale for why they go down this road and vladimir putin himself spoke about this when he went to crimea in august 2014, he talked about the general problem of intermediate range missile proliferation being a problem the russians are grappling with. yes, we are grappling with a similar problem, a limited intermediate range missile threat and we have chosen to respond to that limited threat from iran from north korea by ballistic missile defenses face-off. we are not eager to get into developing offensive capabilities that first of all would not comply with the ban on imf systems we have with the russian federation, you don't want to build and deploy our own imf range missiles as it would violate the imf treaty to which we are committed but also we feel we can tackle this a limited missile defense system. it is the way to think and talk about proliferation of imf range missiles across eurasia that is a discussion well worth having and ones that we should pursue generally with countries in eurasia and not simply in the us/china conflict but it is a general issue. >> why don't i like strate

crimea, syriaxed is in a horrible civil war with half a million people killed. and libya are in chaos. china is acting more aggressively. these are all things that have happened under president obama's watch. i see no tendency to think the obama administration needs to do a course correction and needs to do something else. i see arrogance displayed by 32-year-old ben rhodes who looks at others -- he is older than but benr something -- rhodes, who suggests that others are basically idiots and that everybody in washington is part of this blob and only he and the president know what is going on. they need to show more self-awareness and question the decisions they have made. guest: steve, texas, republican line. caller: thank you sir. a gentleman who called from california touched base on a couple of things i disagree with. -- already said he is going to bring somebody who is more politically correct into the party with them. because he is not politically correct and that is something that america has been needing for a long time. to act like he is a republican or

we didn't anticipate that russia would illegally annex crimea.e didn't see that kind of destabilizing activity. >> next, putin's forces began menacing ukraine itself. >> the fundamental point of dealing with a bully like putin is you cannot allow bullies to get away with what they want to do. >> but the president rejected calls for a muscular response, instead announcing limited sanctions. >> i believe there's a path to resolve the situation diplomatically in a way that addresses the issues of russia and the ukraine. >> i think the president should have taken some very strong steps to make very clear to putin that this was unacceptable. he should have provided arms to the ukrainians. >> but he didn't. and today, russia is emboldened, threatening to spread its sphere of influence even wider. secretaries panetta and gates and others told us that you can let bullies get away with bullying or you pay a price. >> i was talking about ukraine. with the president. and he told me, very bluntly, that ukraine as a non-nato country living in the shadow of ru

from russia invaded crimea and when a russian ship turned up off the coast of florida in 2012, it was showed up to track it. >> i think it's operational experience. if anything were to ever happen, they have experience. they know those waters. i don't think it's a political statement at all. >> reporter: russia is employing attack submarines in numbers and advances in technology not seen since the cold war. now china, north korea, india and others are joining a new arms race under the sea. commodore ali lewis -- >> we're operating in an environment where we didn't have adversaries to challenge us. that's changing. >> reporter: its greatest asset may be its silence. >> whether there's a submarine there or not, they don't know. >> reporter: and so underwater is where these boats and their crews spend nearly 90% of their time deployed. >> the uss missouri is coming into port now in jacksonville, florida, and that's not something if you're a submariner they do very often. their most recent deployment, they were out for 181 days, 163 days were at sea. that is the life of a submariner. >> t

other g7 countries have strongly condemned russia for the annexation of the crimea and called on russia to honor the teerms of the minsk agreement but prime minister abe has pushed for dialogue, meeting with president vladimir putin last month against the wishes of the u.s. he's opted for dialogue and laid out a plan to boost bilateral trade and investments there. so we are seeing a bit of a rift here between where japan stands and other g7 issues. that is the focus today. tomorrow it will shift to hiroshima where president obama becomes the first sitting u.s. president to visit the site of the attack. >> we look forward to the developments coming out tomorrow as well. thank you for joining us. >>> well daily mail shares have been plummeting towards the bottom of the stox 600. after a slump saw first half profits fall 11%. the newspaper group downgraded following a 3% cut in operating margins. media analyst at peel hunt is with us. what's going on? i look at the group. profits falling 11%. downgraded the outlook as well. never a good thing for investors. a 3% cut is anticipated. what ar

example, invading ukraine and annexing crimea, backing the horrific regime of assad in syria. we need to confront where we must but we must cooperate where we can, we should fly zones of cooperation with russia, afghanistan, counterterrorism, counter piracy, counter narcotics, areas where we can cooperate, confront where we must, cooperate where we can and above all need to understand we need to deal with russia from the positi that is what they respect. lori: thank you so much for your time, appreciate it, appreciate you talking to me after having a chat with former president clinton. quite a dance card you have. checking markets, a little bit of a selloff, the dow is down 99 points, 100 points on the tao, just about 35 minutes, a little troubling. after being defeated in indiana will hillary clinton flip-flop on call? the presidential race is the heart of call country, the west virginia association response to the latest political assault, live on capitol hill with another announcement of regulation nation. the amount of money, expected regulation cost you? what will congres

they're just scared because russia is doing a lot of the stuff that they're advancing everywhere from crimeaes going into places like estonia, latvia and lithuania. they need our backing, and missile defense systems to do it. we're worried about what people think of us. we want to be liked and not respected. charles: captain nash, 10 seconds left, with the missile that russia apparently developed, how concerned should we be? >> well, you want to talk about an accidental launch or unintentional thing, that could be devastating, because it's got 12 independent recovery have, when they command, it's like a cluster bomb, only nukes. we unilaterally took our nerves out of land based missile, that was obama administration decision in 2010. charles: gentlemen, we thank you for your service to this country. at home, lou dobbs is next. lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. house speaker paul ryan under intense pressure from members of his own caucus, telling him to fall in line and endorse donald trump. ryan downplaying the odds of any breakthrough when he's scheduled to meet with trump tomorr

that absence a strong hand to counter them they will get away with it, and we have seen sepl seize c crimeand there have been very severe and horrific consequences because of russian military actions, not to mention the humanitarian disaster that has been added to in syria by russian actions in and around aleppo, and tens of thousands have fled aleppo knowing russia was helping the assad regime, and their rules of engagement are looser than the u.s. campaign, and so because russia determines what its foreign policy is, and in this case, what vladimir putin and the kremlin determine what is the policy, they have an effectiveness there and they have the ability to get away with a lot and the u.s. doesn't want to directly counter them. >> how does the u.s., the navy in particularly, maintain the supremacy on the seas? what else do we need to do? >> certainly there will point to the current size of the u.s. navy as being historically small compared to what it was in the post world war ii era, and part of the debate, it's hard to compare a world war ii battleship with the current capabilities of

you see following vladimir putin's annexation of crimea, sanctions have blocked sales of the russianade weapons to the united states and the e.u. so kalashnikov needed to rethink it's strategy to help boost domestic revenues according to the marketing director. who knows, perhaps american manufactures will follow suit and we'll see a series of smith and wesson bars popping up all over the country. on the other hand america's gun makers don't need to extend the brand. there is plenty of demand for the core product, guns, to keep them profitable here for decades. >>> the correct answer to the gps challenge question is b., nasa says nine planets that it has just verified are in a zone which could support life. launched in 2009, nasa's keppler mission is tasked with finding earth-like planets. they say thanks to keppler astronomers believe there may be at least one planet orbiting every star in the sky. imagine if just a tiny fraction of those planets had life on them. as neal grass tyson said to declare that earth must be the only planet with life in the universe would be inexcusably bi

russia annexed crimea and launched military action in syria, the "missouri" was deployed nearby and whenub turned up off the coast of florida in 2012, it is the "uss missouri" called into action to track it. >> that's showing, hey, where they can go. >> see, i think it's operational experience. if anything to happen they have experience. they know those waters. i don't think it's a political statement on their part at all. >> reporter: the "missouri's" greatest asset may be the silence. >> dive, dive. >> reporter: giving the u.s. the element of surprise. >> whether there is a submarine there or not they don't know. a potential adversary has to take that into the calculus. >> reporter: and so underwater is where the boats and their crews spend 90% of of their time deployed. "uss missouri" is coming into port now, may port, naval port station in florida and not something if you're a submariner you do very often. most recent deployment, out for 181 days, 163 days were at sea. that is the life of a submariner. that is a call to action the u.s. navy's 70 submarines are getting more and more o

just look at the eastern ukraine, look what he did in the crimea and syria, very effective military operation. you have to listen to what he says. now we're talking a different thing. when you're talking about invading ukraine or going to syria for a military operation, much, much different than taking on nato. if he does anything in romania or poland or the czech republic as he's threatening to do, then he triggers article 5 of the nato charter, which means an attack on any state is an attack on all states. i don't think he wants to get into an armed confrontation with nato but he wants to up the ante on what's going on there. i think washington is going to have to look at this because he's a verimeimey mercurial pen. >> what do you suspect he would do? >> he has an enclave and could move forces to his borders. he has long-range rockets. he has the capability to put everybody in the crosshairs. i think cooler heads will prevail but he wants to make his point. although his point really is kind of hard to believe, these rockets really are not a threat to russia. russia has a strategic military

following vladimir putin's anexation of crimea, sanctions have blocked sales of the russian made weaponsited states and the eu. so clashny kof needed to boost revenues according to the marketing director. perhaps american manufacturers will follow suit and we'll see smith and wesson bars popping up all over the country. american gun makers don't really need to extend their brand. there is plenty of demand for the core product, gun, to keep them profitable for decades. the correct answer is b. nasa says nine planets it just verify are in a zone which could support life. launch in 2009, nasa's mission is tasked with finding earth-like planets. as trom mers believe there may be one planet orbiting every star in the sky. imagine if just a tiny fraction of those planets had life on them. to declare that earth must be the only planet with life in the universe would be inexcusably big headed of us. thanks for all of you for being part of my program this week. i'll see you next week. >> thanks so much for joining us. you're in the cnn "newsroom." two words dominating the race for the white house

i stand with my colleagues in opposition to russian aggression in crimea, ukraine, syria and threatening activity in the baltics and elsewhere. however, i believe the terms of this waiver are wrong and would be, frankly, impossible to execute. if we give the secretary of energy a waiver, it should be achieveable. this is why my amendment improves the standard to a simple one as the secretary must certify that this cooperation will reduce the nuclear threat. it's no secret that nuclear material in russia is vulnerable to threat, to theft and smuggling. according to harvard university's managing the atom project, russia's nuclear material is threatened by insiders and outsiders. nuclear material stolen in russia does not have to remain in russia. currently we don't have nuclear threat reduction work with russia. but if the opportunity presented itself and it was in the interest of national security why not at least have that option? so i encourage members to support my amendment so our government can protect americans from nuclear terrorism regardless of where that material originates. wit

i mean, in comparison with this, whatever you think of putin's annexation of crimea is minor in comparisonh this. all of this is correct. we have to ask, why did the u.s. decide to normalize relations with cuba? the way it is presented here, it was a historic act of magnanimity by the obama administration. as he, himself, put it, and commentators echoed, "we have tried for 50 yeaears to bring democracy and freedom to cuba. the methods we used didn't work, so we'll try another method." reality? no, we tried for 50 years to bring terror, violence and destruction to cuba, not just the terrorist war, but the crushing embargo. when the russians disappeared from the scene, instead of -- you know, the pretense was, "well, it's because of the russians." when they disappeared from the scene, how did we react, under clinton? by making the embargo harsher. clinton outflanked george h.w. bush from the right, in harsh -- during the electoral campaign, in harshness against cuba. it was torricelli, new jersey democrat, who initiated the legislation. later became worse with helms-burton. all of this has b
