so how did the fsb find out what had happened at that retreat? how were they able to quote from what happened? there's a number of possibilities, right? it's possible that the fsb just mounted some sort of covert surveillance on that retreat location. so they listened in somehow and that's how they knew. it's also possible that one of the americans who was there, one of the american employees of this organization maybe went and ted the fsb, maybe one of the american employees of the international republican institute was secretly a spy working for the russians. that's possible. but within the organization, within the national republican institute, serious suspicion at the time quickly fell on one of the two non-americans who had been at that retreat. because between that retreat that somehow got spied on and the denunciation of that group in parliament by the head of the fsb quoting from what happened at the retreat between these two dates, one of the two non-americans who had been at the retreat got fired from the organization. a russian guy who

i want possible the fsb mounted covert surveillance on the retreat location. they listened and they knew. it's possible one of the americans there one of the american employees of the organization may be went and told the fsb. maybe one of the american employees of the international republican institute was secretly a spy working for the russians. that's possible. but within the organization, within the international republican institute sowers suspicion at the time quickly fell on one of the two non-americans who had been at the he retreat. because between that retreat that somehow got spied and the denunciation of the group in parliament by the head of the fsb quoting what happened at the retreat between the two dates one of the two non-americans at the retreat got fired from the organization. a russian guy who had been working for iri got fired from the organization after that retreat in bad circumstances. so that raised the prospect that he was a disgruntled former impose. maybe he was so disgruntled he narcked out the organization that fired him to russia

the russian fsb does not really give much about human rights.y are taking out of circulation anyone they believe is a potential threat. no matter what. moscow doesn't want to take any chances. this world cup is important to the kremlin. for the prestige of the country, and its president, nothing can be allowed to go wrong. so the authorities here are deploying everything they can. not only the police, but the army, the navy, even the russian air force. everything to make sure that security is as tight as possible. the challenge will be to protect not only the stadiums, the football matches, but all public areas where large crowds will be gathering. and with russia's world cup spread over 11 cities, that is a daunting task. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. that's all from us, but you can see continuing coverage live of the trump—kim summit in singapore on the bbc news channel overnight. it's due to get under way at 2:00am our time. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headl

the modern fsb is the kgb with new letters. and better computers. he said that type of person we tried to recruit more selfless -- weressists self-absorbed narcissists who are greedy. you massage their ego. what is the evidence may have? another thing people need to understand is the russians carried out a psychological worker operation technique called reflexive control. if they were interested in you and they think you can be an asset to them, they will using media, friends, money, whatever tool they have necessary, they will build a framework around ideas information and that they have manufactured that they think you are amenable to and they will essentially create a perception bubble around you so when you make decisions, you will make a decision -- that them. donald trump in 2013 had a two-hour meeting at a restaurant and moscow when he was there for miss universe with the 12 richest oligarchs of russia. including a personal representative of vladimir putin. when he came out he was spouting the kremlin party line on the dissolution of nato, th

the fsb was participating. they went on to describe how web money was considered by them to be the primary money movement globally. suddenly it's almost a de facto part of their core financial system. almost a shadow economy. there has been embraced by the russian government and the banks. what can we do about a system that does that. it's very difficult to do much about it. directly. they're not going to cooperate. however, what you can do is what i described my in my testimony which is focused on identity focus on exchange points. you probably own a significant bit coin investment. if he were to buy it in the u.s. chances are you would use a very reputable company called client base. they do very strong know your customer vetting. they are not the problem. however there are like exchanges like them around the world. that don't require any type of that. some sort of international cooperation i proposed that through a non- for profit you can create an approach where there's those that want to be there. do you t

companies an entities that are acting at the behest and the direction russia intelligence service the fsbis is compartmentalized into two different things. on the one hand it is about past attacks. one of them is a major cyber attack in ukraine last year and then also what you were just talking about, those attacks on the u.s. power grid but there is a sect aspect which is really important, it is that the u.s. is also targeting the individuals and entities of russia's under water capabilities. they say that russia has been actively tracking under water cable communications that are very important to communications around the world and very important to u.s. national security and if you look at the three individuals who were targeted just now, they're all part of the same russian company called dive techno services that provides underwater technology. and we've been looking around and russia has not commented but this is on the heel of the g-7 summit where president trump a e ienated allies and wants russia to be part of the group once again, wolf. >> how close is president trump and vladi

the russian fsb was participating. there version of the dea. web went on to describe how money was considered by them to the primary money movement mechanism globally for russian organized crime. is.ea suddenly, web money is almost a defect in part of their core financial system. in the light now, it is brought in. ,hat points to a fundamental almost development of a shadow economy. swift system for money movement that has been embraced by the russian government and the banks. sen. graham: what can we in the united states do about a system created in russia? mr. dueweke: it is very difficult to do much about it directly because they will not cooperate. however, way you can do is what i have described in my testimony, which is focus on identity, focus on these exchange points. sen. graham: houdini cooperation from to get that? -- who do you need cooperation from to get that? mr. dueweke: exchangers. you probably own a significant bit coin investment yourself. sen. graham: idol. -- i don't. mr. dueweke: good. if you were to buy bit coin in the u.

but we do know that there are multiple touch points between members of the campaign and the gru, the fsbts of the russian government and my question from a national security perspective is whether the fbi now comes back and does have more information about kilimnik's direct ties with russian intelligence. >> and he denies any ties with russian -- and these are allegations. nothing proven yet and manafort has pled not guilty in all of these charges. at least so far. but big picture, jeffrey toobin and i want your analysis because you've seen the cases unfold. it tells us a lot about where the robert mueller investigation is heading. >> right. and the simple message here is that they are putting every bit of pressure they can on paul manafort to plead guilty and cooperate. to flip. to testify and tell the investigators what they know. this -- this indictment is worse than just another indictment. because this claim that he approached these witnesses and tried to get them to lie to investigators, it is also the basis for the mueller team's effort to -- to end his bail. to revoke his bail. a

a range of its malign activities worldwide and here and in so doing we have brought charges against fsb officers not related to election interference, but in connection with hacks of yahoo and others. individuals and entities have been sanctioned by this administration. diplomats, dozens of diplomatic officers have been kicked out of the united states, russian facilities have been closed. we have been clear and public in attributing malicious cyberactivity to the russian government. we have done so sometimes in a coordination with and in a chorus with our allies. i think we continue to look for ways to raise costs of malign behavior. and including influence operations that are illegal. >> in fairness, mr. hickey and for a complete record, we also have a president of the united states 0 who has referred to the mueller investigation as a hoax and a witch hunt over and over and over again. just this last weekend, called for recognition of russia in the g-8 to give them full partnership back into that organization. it's a mixed message at best. let me go to a specific. i agree with the chai

we know they are travelling across the uk at fsb of notts. —— ten three.he female laying more eggs in another tree. it will be very difficult to contain and control. what can be done about it? in this case, not a lot. it is a real warning that we need to be doing much more about our plant bio—security in the uk. much more about our plant bio-security in the uk. no pesticides, no treatments? what about planting around it? is there something that might deter both vote from breeding nearby? because it is a non—native species there are no natural predators, so that is out of the question. there is a possibility that individual trees can be treated through pesticides. like the natural elm collection in brighton and hove. thinking back to the dutch elm crisis in the 60s and 70s, i remember that as a kid. it decimated elms, didn't it? dutch elm disease took out 26 million ritual elm trees in the 60s and 70s and so, what is left now is what is hanging on. this quy left now is what is hanging on. this guy is likely to come in and not good things for it. one thing w
