the fsb followed him and his family throughout moscow. tv broadcast stories about him, inciting revolution against the government. and then mcfaul recounts during a meeting at putin's residence he felt physically intimidated. >> and just out of the blue he kind of turned to me and, you know, this guy is causing trouble for us. and he stared at me. it seemed like for 15 minutes. it was probably 15 seconds. but it was a scary moment. he was angry at me. >> mcfaul wasn't the only object of putin's ire. since sergei magnitsky's death bill browder had been lobbying western governments including the united states congress to punish those responsible. >> i took this idea to senator benjamin cardin and senator john mccain, and i said can we ban the people who killed sergei magnitsky from coming into the country and can we freeze their assets? and they said we can. and that was the genesis of the magnitsky act. >> browder's theory is that the magnitsky act affects putin directly. >> vladimir putin doesn't keep any money in his own name. he keeps m

once the bridge was complete, russian security services known as the fsb started inspecting all ukrainianake their way through the strait to ukraine. now, if you look at a map, this strait is the only way for ukrainian vessels to go back from the black sea to ports in the see of azov. the russians manning the waters, tensions have been on the rise, but yesterday they came to a boil when the russian navy blocked three ukrainian naval vessels from passing through the strait. watch this ship about to ramtha tugboat. the russian ships opened fire at the vessels, wounding six sailors, i'm sorry, and ramming into a tugboat. boarding the ukrainian ships, detaining more than 20 sailors, and seeking -- seizing the three ukrainian vessels. you can see two of them here. russia claims the ships illegally entered russian waters. i should point out the strait is like two or three miles wide at its narrowest point. this isn't a case of ships wandering offcourse. by definition, if you're traversing the strait, you are in contested waters. today when asked about russia's most recent act of aggression agai

we have just got news coming in from the fsb from moscow, the security services saying that the ukrainianrussians of course today saying this is all hysteria on the part of russia. what does it look like from your point of view? there is an agreement, as your correspondent mentioned, from 2003 that recognises that each state that shares this border area has the right to have its ships transit into the black sea. i think there isjust no question from the perspective of international law that russia was violating this agreement and was actually looking for a fight with ukraine. it was russia who provoked the violence for reasons that are unclear. why would moscow be looking for a fight with ukraine at this stage? is it something that the russian population would support? if poroshenko is right and he has plans showing that the russians are planning some kind of land invasion in eastern ukraine, the russians really wa nt in eastern ukraine, the russians really want a war with ukraine at the moment? i can't imagine that they would. there is a loss of cultural interchange and even family inter

institutions even when it comes to operationalization of your banking regulations in light of g20 and fsb and basel rules, standards and best practices. certainly you would expect that this would have the impact of incentivizing global banking in a way that would have disparately negative impact on foreign banks. do i view this as so be on or out of sync with certain past aspects of ranking regulation? no. is it contrary to some of the principles of cross-border coordination and standard-setting that were and embraced particularly in the wake of the financial crisis, i'd say yes. i am a lawyer. it depends. ofthoughts on the treatment foreign banks in the new regime. >> the fed has said that they're going to come out quickly. i didn't hear quite the real-time that randy was talking about. i think the foreign banking community, with some justification, believes that it is being, i use the word, discriminate against, by the entire american regulatory and law enforcement regime. it is not just the fed. but this is a series of enforcement actions which to the foreign banks mean more severe. as
