and he did not speak without thinking of donating a l'oreal s at gazprom any staff from nineteen ninety four to nineteen ninety six and he stressed that the statement has been adopted by the four previous japanese government says it was unseated by then she meets at the tree hill he called all in nineteen ninety three and stay true to me it's the japanese on the force between two hundred and four hundred thousand between an intersection of slavery in the country's eat it all to christ. right now not weighed in after the japanese she happens to the tree issue he did so the stats on monday as evidence given by so much slaves will be re examined so got sick that the government will consider any possible revisions. a number of conservative lawmakers are also seeking to these threats is the official policy and they say there is a lack of a wartime evidence to support the cause of statement. and i feel my hero dies down drop below ten is the first european woman to publicly admit she was a false be conscripted by the japanese on the answer slaves. she was nineteen years that would add that i'

taxation rate so the money above the government's bands is the money that gazprom and ross nafta and other the company is to get from god's love that the oil and gas that they got the run up to use inside russia. it's either way the government spending. the government's money. the guy that's certainly made the gates and an a backlash against the danes spending. instead of the international triumph of the time show. mr putin was to poke all the games to ron that seemed to emphasize the saunders the goings on as he read the relationship between russia and the wise move by obama. at the games knowing the medical defence while unknowns. david cameron well yes but you have the bush agenda and the chinese leader. sianz although the japanese. prime minister. you have a number of post soviet states represented at the highest level this basically tells you a little bit about the shipping geopolitics of russia's foreign policy that has the rift between russia and europe. the is the rift between russia and the united states. these risks have grown wider and deeper in the last couple of years th

the west of course primarily we're thinking of mutually beneficial economic arrangements between gazprom or us nafta and western oil companies whether in the arctic or elsewhere we see a tremendous amount of money and resources poured into bilateral arrangements between russia and various countries such as turkey and others which are traditionally in the sort of western nato sphere of influence so although we do see a freezing of these relations it is something that is much more nuanced than simply a cold war it's interesting markets not to undermine russia per se but the biba political order that is here today this is what it's really all about is to undermine the popular leader and his name is vladimir putin. why can we not use popular here well he's been he's been made into the bogeyman certainly but i think if we go back what stephen cohen saying that process of that if the retreat to moscow which has been gone since the end of the cold war since the last period is something which the worst wishes to push through and if we think about the classic cold war we can see i think continuit

you have gazprom, yukos oil. they split up all the assets of russia, and those people, not because they were good, just because they were in the right place at the right time so what's happening is they try and go and do a big event like that. they will spend $50 billion on this event. they will probably lose $20 billion or $25 billion for holding the olympics. vladamir putin, this is his moment on the world stage right now. there won't be an empty seat in any of the venues, don't kid yourself. world, where are you? there will be a russian sitting in every one of those seats. >> they will empty the priss ovens siberia. >> you can bang some rocks over there or watch the downhill skiing and most people don't. >> in defense of the russians on the spying piece, in 2008 the chinese were accused of the very same thing and you needed to take the battery out of your blackberry when you got off the plane because it was assumed that all of your information was taken by the chinese. >> that's like comparing the son of sam t

the eu would love to have oil from the united states instead of being threatened by gazprom in russiait's important that iran sells lots of oil to china. so be it. imagine if we could do more of the same. that's a lot of money from the united states. our trade deficit with poe tech in the last ten years tops a trillion dollars. when you look at what we have, as well, with our own oil off our coast, estimates are $3.7 trillion in today's money that are out there if we develop our own. that is a huge boom of america's purchasing power around the world, as well, and that's where u.s. really raises from where it is now to a much better place in geopolitical issues. >> you're on the energy committee how does it still happen? there's a string of gas stations in your state, qwik-fill, united refining they proudly only sell crude from north american sources from the u.s., or from canada. they boast that. they put that in their advertising. they use no mideast oil. how did we finally get to a place where this in our lifetime in the next few years certainly could possibly is possible? >>> it re

gazprom provides gas for these countries, and when putin doesn't like their political behavior, he cuts it off or raises the price out of sight, so he has the power to pressure. we have to do everything that we can to encourage ukraine to move forward peacefully toward democracy but understand that putin has been a threat for many decades. >> well, beyond rhetoric then, senator durbin, what does the president, what does the european union do if they are going to put -- if they are going to make threats, if they are going to use gas as a weapon, what does the west do because rhetoric isn't going to be enough. >> we have to combine our efforts with the european union to help ukraine move forward in a peaceful democratic way. we have to put the pressure on putin to stop his efforts to undermine this natural evolution towards democracy, and yanukovych has always been a puppet of moscow, and that's why he headed to the russian part of ukraine and why ultimately he'll leave the country, i'm guessing, but we can -- and the west can gather with the european union and put a force in ukraine that

from $400 pure thousand cubic meters to 26per thousand cubic meters and carries the implicit promise gazprom will not call in the billions of dollars in unpaid debts. then of course there is geopolitical interests. that can't be denied. ukraine's not moving forward with the european association agreement is appowerful statement that the entire region will not become the kind of political property of brussels. and this i think for russia which of continues to play the role as an alternate power center, an alternate geopolitical actor, one of several great powers that needs to be consulted would certainly strengthen russia's hand although i don't want to oversell that point. lastly there is domestic politics. here i think the events in ukraine the last two months underscore a point putin has been making for many years, that is given the choice between perhaps a kind of democratic pluralism that comes with chaos and more vertical political system that comes with predictability, what would you choose? and the same question can be presented to ordinary people as to oligarchs and business leaders
