relationship with russia changed after putin took over from dmitry medvedev. >> when president putin, who was prime minister when medvedev was president, came back into power, i think we saw more rhetoric on the russian side that was anti-american that played into some of the old stereotypes about the cold war contest between the united states and russia. >> u.s. and russian officials have been at loggerheads over the russian decision to grant temporary asylum to the american fugitive edward snowden. obama said the snowden episode reflects one of many emerging differences. >> it is probably appropriate for us to take a pause, reassess where it is that russia's going, what our core interests are, and cal ib rate the relationships. >> obama said that the russian position on the syrian civil war is another difference. russians are siding with bashar al assad in a conflict that's killed more than 100,000 people. >>> astronauts on the international space station are taking delivery of supplies they need to live and work. the unmanned ship carrying their cargo arrived from japan. the konoto

dmitry is one of their most staunch opponents. during the trial orthodox activists came to court every day to protest against the women. now dmitry is head of god's will, a movement that defends orthodox christian values. >> it was their attack against the church and their act of sacrilege in our main cathedral that shocked us and brought us all together. when we saw young people against the church and people from the gay community come to support them we decided to unite against them. >> he hasn't finished with pusy riot. in a recent demonstration he lashed out after the opposition leader had demanded the release of the women. >> how can he defend these blasphemers? it's obvious that people that behave this way are not part of the future. >> since the case, dozens of organizations have emerged. there are even orthodox militias that enjoy the support of the kremlin. the image of the punk rockers was also used in this video game. the idea is simple -- whack the young women on the head with a cross. >> these girls were turned into a

expose the government's case in washington i'm going to shut down and was far too political analyst dmitri and he things that if the roles were reversed the u.s. would do exactly the same as rush. i think that snowden is a very special case because he didn't serve any foreign government what he did he did on his own and he revealed this information to press the foreign agents i'm pretty sure that the united states would shield such a person if he had been of russian origin and if he had been found in the united states russia i think was a lot very willing to have him here i think it's clear from mr bush's statements that he was not particularly a bit but the question is so what could do if he had delivered mr snowden out of the united states mr snowden would probably face life imprisonment in the united states so no civil list country can do it or this country of all the respect of. russia there is no reason why the decision of a snowden's asylum should damage relations with the u.s. that's a view shared by london based legal experts and examined in a curious. the ball in a sense is in the

relationship with russia changed after putin took over from dmitry medvedev. >> when president putin,o was prime minister when medvedev was president, came back into power, i think we saw

president obama and dmitri medvedev, not only seem to personally like each other. they were getting stuff done on arms reduction, for example. today that promise of a normal healthy relationship between the two one-time adversaries is all but gone, and obama's forthright criticism of russia last night was basically just an acknowledgement of that. but to understand how we got here, you don't just need to know about russia's new gay propaganda law or edward snowden, who's now living in russia. you also need to know about syria, which for two years has been embroiled in a brutal civil war between government forces, united behind barber al assad, and rebel forces, 90,000 people have been killed and russia staunchly supported the regime in the united nations, and providing arms and aid to syrian government troops. in june, president obama announced they would send weapons and aid to rebel forces. hours ago, he announced $200 billion more in humanitarian assistance for the country. syria is a place where the u.s. and russia have most publicly clashed over the past few y

dmitri works for the national railroad. his employer slashed his salary by 40%, compared to three years ago. as the government cut down on spending. he and his family used to go island-hopping in the mediterranean. but they can't afford to do that any more. >> translator: since we can't go very far this year, i'd like to bring my family here as often as possible. >> reporter: vacationers in france are using another method to save money on summer travel. these people are headed south from paris. they are meeting today for the first time. >> translator: how old are you? >> translator: i'm 25. >> translator: what is your occupation? >> reporter: these travelers say driving together costs a fifth of the price of a train ticket. and there are lots of others getting on the bandwagon. carpooling is becoming more popular after the credit crunch. almost three million people now choose to split the bill. that's six times more than before the crisis. >> translator: we share a ride and divide the cost amongst ourselves. it's the best w

q: dmitri kirsanov with itar- tass. i would like to ask the members of the panel to put a little more meat on the issue of what?s going to happen next in the bilateral relationship. and since mr. goodman mentioned that probably there will be no bilateral meeting between presidents ? mr. : (off mic.) (laughter.) q: well, i would like to hear that. is there any chances that the summit might be a (warming- off ?) point, or none at all? mr. schwartz: thanks, dmitri, for the question. i was thinking this morning i would ? you know, it could be a statements-like ? statesman-like move on the part of president obama in particular since it was the united states that canceled the summit meeting to request a one-on-one bilateral meeting with president putin. but i think the chances of that happening are less than 5 percent, slim to ? slim to none. (audio break.) i think there?s ? i think there?s a high degree of anger on the part of the obama administration about relations with russia and, i think, about mr. obama in particular in

and i am again so thankful to the people of russia and here at aunty we spoke to political analyst dmitri babich he said that our russia had no other choice but to grant snowden temporary asylum and washington would have done the same if indeed the roles had been reversed. i think that snowden is a very special case because he didn't serve any foreign government what he did when you don't his own and he revealed this information to press the foreign agents i'm pretty sure that the united states would shield such a person if he had been over russian origin and if he had been found in the united states or russia i think was a lot very willing to have him here i think it's clear from mr bush's statements that he was not particularly. but the question is so what could put in do if he had to leave out mr snowden out although at this stage mr snowden would probably face life imprisonment in the united states so no civil list country can do it or this country will be respected. well russia's decision to take snowden in was certainly met with fewer in washington and the white house hinted the sep
