and then the helsinki final act. all of this was happening at once. which gives the background to of,lly getting to this kind maybe it was the persian crisis, and i forgot, the 1972 treaty sovereigntyhe ddr which everyone knew was the end of the ddr as it where. -- were. how did you feature those as he worked out? historyd the german journals, egon bahr was prominent to me in that process. does your book cover that background? so much fornk you your question. actually the book covers that background, as my president -- my presentation also covered it. this early phase of politic and detente provided the background for off politic. because early on, the architects, such as a gone bar, they were aware that potential backlashes might occur. what counted for them was to turn off politic into an irreversible process early on. -- one of the most important things to them. that is what counted. it could only function if it was thought up and if it was implemented as an irreversible process. right? this opening up and this sort of multiplying context, that wou

these approaches collided, often in the helsinki talks. it took until the early 1980's when max kimballman brought these two approaches together at the follow-up meeting. there was a lot of need for consensus on these approaches. campbellman said it is a strength if you have these approaches, he compared nato with an orchestra. you have different voices, different influences with an orchestra. the thing is to coordinate them in the right way. that is what later happened in the 1980's. >> final question. i'm sorry to those i can't call on. they goes to a gentleman who has been patiently waiting. then we will have to adjourn. final question. >> thank you. decades -- the spirit of >> introduce yourself, please. >> i currently teach a course. description ofg the back channel to get tensions that otherwise might interrupted referenceflict, the was made by schmidt. off -- andropov, he left the scene in 1984. he seems to have been a kind of interim figure. thehat period there was crisis over the able archer exercise. what affected that have on th

since he met with vladimir putin in helsinki in july, where he took the interpreter's notes or hasn't told any u.s. official what they discussed, he has taken us out of syria, which is a top priority of russia. he sought to diminish or pull out the u.s. from nato. and he's easing sanctions on vladimir putin's friends, who are under investigation -- >> but he did pass sanctions against russia. he has armed the ukraine. he has killed 200 russians in syria. i mean, those aren't the actions of an agent of russia, either. >> he signed, i think, you know, begrudgingly, sanctions against russia after congress and people expressed concern and he got backed into it. but as soon as he could, he has pulled those away. >> what makes him an agent of russia, though? >> during the campaign, the russians were offering -- and we saw this in our investigation, and free-press reporting showed this. they were offering their assistance to help him. they were reaching out, you know, whether it was the trump tower meeting, whether it was, you know, the number of subject-line e-mails we saw that said, you kn

for us today most of these second graders at an elementary school in helsinki do during their finnish lesson class teacher one of kaiser one of the students to write independently each time they write two sentences they can take a lego piece and stuck it up the other is. today the class has agreed on a goal of sixty pieces. and has been a teacher for eighty years mainly working with first and second graders. upset on the children are the best thing about my job every day is different especially with younger children they're enthusiastic about doing things and enjoy learning. yeah yeah yeah. hannah has the freedom to decide how to teach so she doesn't use textbooks in her class instead of filling in the blanks and workbooks her pupils write things on their own. teachers in finland just under thirty nine thousand euros a year not that much but the conditions are good and they need some it i guess we need time and resources we need support from special education teachers for pupils with special needs. editing but now. we need lots of support from supply teachers. and we need a peaceful e

he don't have answers to why what happened in helsinki, which for reason he's forgotten and everyonen the republican party is forgetting. so to call this investigation treasonous when it was praufrmted praufrmt prompted by behaviors and events. >> i want to show you another piece of sound from the president talking about health care. >> so many things that we're going to do, incredible health care that the democrats, frankly, wouldn't even know how to do. the republican party will be the party of great health care. we're going to have pre-existing conditions, absolutely. >> he's going to have pre-existing conditions, absolutely. he just directed the doj against the advice of the attorney general to fight exactly those protections in court. what do you see as the play here for the president goingats the, aca when he's got nothing in his pocket? >> this has always been the kind of language you hear from president trump when it comes to health care. he wants to do something better and bigger and so much greater than obamacare. and the minute you get to the details he's giving heartburn

can i ask you about the helsinki summit. one of the expectations was out of that summit there would be a strategic security dialog, stability dialog. but it failed to materialize. do you know what happened with that? also, is there any dialog going on about new start on any level between the u.s. and russia? >> i would like to say to you after helsinki summit there were some meetings between mr. pet tro shev our chief of security and mr. bolton. these consultations and discussions were very effective. these consultations and our politicians covered all important issues regarding arms control and bilateral relations between our two countries. i can add to what i just mentioned that we would like to have more. first of all, you'll see i would like to see my minister of foreign affairs and minister of defense who can come to the united states and to sit together with their counterparts and to restart dialog two plus two. it's very important. we're previously we had a dialog at the level of deputy minister of foreign affairs. i

helsinki back in january twenty seventeen finland's government selected two thousand people to receive five hundred sixty euros a month for two years as an experiment that made world headlines. at the panel discussion you had needs i learned another recipient she and the others will. interviewed over the coming months by the social security agency it's really interesting to hear the participants of the experience because we researchers were not aware of the contacts first people so everything i know what they have been through i threat from newspapers and heard from them so it's really interesting and different kind of stories there's two thousand participants everybody has a very unique story for the recipients are here this evening to tell their stories is up first she's long term unemployed and suffering from cancer now she dreads having to live without the basic income. will be normal but in a minute i know it has changed for the worse now i'm treated like this again like i was two years ago. or. i have to beg for everything and everything takes forever. the payments used to come i

he is tactically very agile. >> that moment in helsinki when -- the one we just showed, donald trump comes out alongside vladimir putin, what happened inside you and can you speak for other career diplomats in this nation's system? >> sure. i mean, i think it reflected -- you see this often from president trump, a kind of disdain for the hard work of diplomacy and a conviction that relationships promoting american interests are all about building personal relationships. and of course that's important, but indulging dictators, trying to curry favor with them is generally seen by people like vladimir putin as a sign of weakness and manipulability. and that's what he saw on that stage in helsinki. >> is there a best case scenario for meeting with someone like that? >> yeah. first i think you have to do your homework. you to do a lot of preparatory work so you try to narrow differences and you have a very realistic view of what you can achieve. and then i think you have to demonstrate firmness, where you're pushing back against threatening actions from another party. it's possible to man

and here at helsinki university hospital, they hold emergency drills like this one once a week.care system has helped give it the lowest maternal death rate in the world. and it's available here to everyone for next to nothing. this is the chief physician on the labor word. every mother here gets a private room and even the option of a water birth. >> 100 euros you pay. and you get almost the 50% back as reimbursement. >> reporter: that's under $60 to have a baby. compared to the u.s., where the average natural birth $1000 and insurance doesn't cover all of it. can what finland is doing, be replicated in a country like the u.s.? >> definitely. >> reporter: you're saying there's no reason that the u.s. can't achieve this? >> no. no reason. but pure politics, i think, yeah. >> reporter: the maternal death rate in the u.s. has nearly doubled over the last three decades. in finland, they've cut it in half. at a play group in helsinki, we met laura smith from detroit, who is living her with her finish husband and her 10-month-old baby, ella. maternal death rates are even higher for a

intelligence agency, yes, with helsinki being the sort of pinnacle of that. we're standing in front of the world. he decided to not pick the home team. instead he gave equal weight to what vladimir putin told him. and it is, taking a step back, it remains a remarkable moment or remarkable feeling that time and time again the president and people around him acted in a way that has not dismissed these questions. and here we are march of 2019 still wondering, still wondering -- >> get the answer. >> if this is still happening. bob mueller, we're ready. we're ready. but we don't know if that will be any time soon. whenever this is transmitted to the department of justice, and we believe it will be soonish, there may be another agonizing wait to recognize what he discovered and not just for us to figure out, but most importantly, the american people. >> here you can also include a painstaking review of classified information. i mean, coanswer some of the questions we're talking about. mueller could travel some distance towards offering some of what his investigati

a decent session in helsinki, not a massive market middle. -- though. dax and cac 40 are all up. cler was talking about mon earlier on. was a jeffriesre know that talked about the company now being the choice for rich millennials. millennials are certainly buying their goods and the stock is responding. wpp, this is an expectation story. expectations in terms of the wpp numbers were graham. -- grim. the fact that they came through and met them turned out to be a positive for the stock, up by 4.89%. the asset management industry is having a tough time. and jupiter out today with numbers, the market responding quite well, not necessarily to the numbers, but the payback and the fact they are returning money, that has been taken positively by the market. so one piece of good news coming out of that sector. and in quick look at where we finished in terms of volume. an ok volume day. we did rolloff towards the close and he can see that reflected in the volume, which picked up a touch, but nevertheless a slightly above volume day today. we finished the auction

the president had gone to great lengths to conceal the details of the private helsinki meeting as he for each of the four private meetings he had with vladimir putin, leading many to ask, is this a bromance or something else? >> i don't like the term bromance because that implies there is a mutual relationship. >> i think donald trump is handling a spy and to sit with an ex kgb who's the leader of the greatest mafia in the world, you are going to get handled and not just handled, he's going to manipulate you and you would think it is a bromance, he will think that he's now in control of the united states. >> coming up. >> mr. stone told mr. trump that he just gotten off the phone with julian assange. >> we just don't know and if he knew it for certain, how he knew it for certain. ...we're open just pass the ball! no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. yea.

that reminds me of the helsinki summit. that reminds me of the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi which our intelligence community said was known by mohammed bin salman. so now a third time the president of the united states is taking the word of an autocratic leader. why? >> it is amazing to me how seamlessly these topics thread into what we were discussing earlier with jared kushner's security clearance given over the objections of c.i.a. officials who believe that kushner was susceptible to being kind of molded in ways that they saw fit. we have seen this play out in public, in press conferences with donald trump. the helsinki summit as you laid out and now with respect to otto warmbier. for trump it was enough to say this is what kim jong-un told me. this is what we are seeing on the tubl stage. we have no idea what is happening behind closed doors and it really does get at the crux why this story that the "new york times" broke about kushner getting his security clearance over the objections of our nation's top intel

i still remember the afternoon of the helsinki summit where president trump had made such deferentialomments standing next to vladimir putin, and dan coats, as head of the intelligence community on his own issued a statement standing behind u.s. intelligence reporting which the president had seemed to undercut, seemed to be in agreement with putin against his intelligence chiefs, and coats decided that was wrong. he put up a statement that was a lot of talk then that the president might fire him. i think he's somebody who has come over his time in this job to understand and appreciate the importance of our intelligence community, to be its defending at the white house. it's not surprising that he got so disturbing and oppressed, he wanted to walk. i think we're lucky he didn't. >> andrea, there's another example, media has to follow a story, when the president of the united states believes in kgb agent instead of the fbi, the cia, the director of national intelligence, the entire intel community, he says so in helsinki sglr helsinki. >> and also most recently on north korea where dan

paul, what about some of the more sensitive issues such as looking for the particular notes on the helsinki summit between vladimir putin and the president, of course, the translator. might they be getting into areas of national security that they don't have a right to or does the intelligence committee have legislate oversight over this? >> a couple of thoughts, andrea. number one, remember, this is a constitutional mandate. so the house is now doing what it is the constitution calls upon them to do, and that is oversight of the executive. and as for its sensitive and confidential information, perhaps even governmental secret information, there are vehicles in which the house can receive that information. that's why we have a house intelligence subcommittee. that's why someone like adam schiff, a former federal prosecutor, who as you know, andrea, has hired a former prosecutor from the southern district of new york who will be able to look through that sensitive information, determine what if any of it is relevant for the american public and how it is, if it's important enough, it should b

in piecemeal and talk about some of the things he said he and the president spoke about in helsinki,ch raised eyebrows for everyone here in the u.s. because it was the first we heard about it and it involved everything from ukraine to syria. that's exactly why you want documentation and a third party to witness exactly what took place in certain meetings. >> gloria, while everyone is waiting for the mueller report to be handed over to the attorney general, what are you hearing? what's going on behind the scenes at the white house? >> special counsel emmitt flood seems to be in charge of the operating team that's going to come up with a response. and in talking to people today, it's interesting because they believe that perhaps -- maybe it's that they hope that the mueller report won't be so bad for the president because he can't be indicted, after all, and that in the end the president could use it in his 2020 campaign. they don't know but that's one of the options, i was told. they're happy to think about it that way. >> told it's coming out soon. we'll have to wait and see. everybo

relationship with n vladimir putin, digging into a conversation between president trump and putin in helsinki last year. lawmakers sent letters to the white house and state department yesterday demanding all documents and communications between the two leaders. >>> president trump is expected to visit alabama on friday following the countries deadliest tornado outbreak in nearly 6 years. at least 23 people were killed and drone video showing the destruction in the area of a guard and the twister was part of a system that spawned tornadoes across several states in the deep south. rescue crews are still searching all of that damage using k-9 units, drones to look for the many people who are still missing today and also neighbors are getting their first look at what is left of their homes. communities are coming together to bring supplies to those in need.>> this tornado that happened on sunday was unbelievable. we have 470 kn and when you see the devastation, it is hard to fathom that something can be this powerful and it tracked through the county. >> we learned that three of the victims kille

otto warmbier statement which is skcompletely preposters and it sounded familiar to him standing in helsinkihe american intel community and he talked about vladimir putin who had nothing to do with interfering with the american elections and of course, he believes them and he believes mds on khashoggi and one after another. one thing you have to do as an autocrat is have a conversation with him and he is quick to, you know, there is a level of -- of understanding, of kind of the personal pain that he might be inflicting that doesn't seem to be there. >> there was a time on the conservative side of the american political divide when the republican party in particular was -- was split between people who believed in fighting a moral foreign policy in which you talked about the west values versus saying the soviet union's and human rights and pushing for human rights and the other side of the right which was a rail policy right, and you have to deal with the world as it is. don't be a fanticist and you have to deal with the bad guys and you take them as they are. the rail politickers would never

but think about in helsinki with vladimir putin where donald trump said -- he said he didn't interfere in the election, i take him at his word. then after khashoggi disappeared and was found to be killed in the saudi embassy in istanbul, he said he didn't have anything do with it and took him at his word. is trump trying to be in people's good graces because he thinks the personal relationship will help him get something he needs in the end, the nuclear deal or is he gullible? >> hard to know what's going on in his head, but we do know that personal relationships do matter, and the relationships with the two men that you have outlined certainly matter to him. in fact, all three. but the fact that he would -- i mean, i was there in helsinki in the room when he equated vladimir putin's view with the view of his own intelligence agencies. this is extraordinary. it seems likely that mohammed bin salman knew a lot about the killing of jamal khashoggi, but still, president trump defended him. some republicans, as i think you've been mentioning, have been clearly distancing themselves from th

listen to what he said last summer in helsinki. >> my people came to me and others. they said they think it's russia. i have president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. >> now that robert mueller has said so in his report, bill barr has accepted that. are the president and vice-president -- you are the chief of staff for the vice-president -- finally ready to accept once and for all that the russians interfered in the 2016 presidential election? >> wolf, i think there's a lot of evidence that russia has been a maligned character in a lot of this. they have been looking to sew seeds of discourse. i accept they interfered. can i say why i think some of the coverage has been deranged? you continue to see news stories, russian collusion, and yet never does the media say which president armed the ukrainians? was it trump or obama? trump. which president decided to bomb syria and in that action actually killed several russian mercenaries? it was trump when obama said he was going to draw a red line in the sand. wh

and ms of a pattern, this reminds me o helsinki with putin. he told me he didn'tnterfere in our election. i've got to believe him. or sadly for "e washington post" family and for the family of jamal khashoggi. he said he took the word of m.b.s., the crown prince of saudi arabia when he said he wasn't aarcipant when othering the hit of this man in a saudi embassy and cons late in turkey. et, we have him from vietnam railing and saying that michael coe wen is not -- cohen a man not to be trusted. -- >> he said that his remarks were misinterpreted. he beliefs kim jong-un at his word. an while he tried t clean up the mess that he created from his comments, he also didn't -- wasn't actually truthful about thact that he was pretty blatant here. he was trusting a dictator -- bert: is that because the president sees everything in transactnal terms? >> yes. he's always been skeptical of u.s. intelligence agencies. we've seen that over and over again. he's a salesman. he's very compelling one-on-one. and in that moment. and he's making a deal. and he's

bit of oppression more than women in other senses when a woman is raped whether she is raped in helsinki or in johannesburg or in bujumbura the peds and the pain is the same and we need to accord them the same descent see and we need to be consent for all the women wherever they are and wherever they are and it's worth pointing out that just this week the inter-party parliamentary union that the percentage of women in national legislatures around the world has gone up by one percent to just about twenty four percent a slow increase but an increase nonetheless doesn't make a difference when women hold political power i guess it does make a difference but it makes a big difference if their numbers are significant we need a critical mass we have. not reach the critical mass across the world that would ensure that you actually string the pendulum decisively we're going the right's way in in some situations we're going that way in particular because of activism of ordinary people trying to hold their leaders accountable but we need people to vote for women when elections come because the fact

what about the helsinki committee?o with grassroots. they are not coming from the will of the people. late last year, you refused to let a un panel of experts into your so—called transit zones. because they hadn't announced their visit in time... so you are acknowledging it is true? pardon me? you are acknowledging it is true, that you have not let them in. you are trying to portray something as though it is institutionalised. but we are working together with all international organisations, as required by international law. and especially, coming back to the citation, she is in no way an authority who decides whether we violate the law. she has an opinion that we violate the law. if she wants, we go to court and the court will decide. she does go to court. last week her lawyers, lawyers working with her, went to court because your transit zone was actually violating the law by refusing food to two iraqis who were there with their children and were denied food by the people running one of the transit zones. going to co

kowtowed to in front of the whole world in that hearing -- tnt public testimony, public hearing in helsinki, i think that's all inappropriate. and thehiotion that president has done everything thatble to undermine investigation from firing comey to trying to undermine mueller, to me that does not seem appropriate. >> do you believe that a russian conspiracy without an actual evidence o a crime being committed, of a crime being committed, isnough to oust him from office? >> you're going to get me into those conversations whe i have not reached a final nclusion. what i do know this, i've been around politics a long time, just as you . >> yeah. >> i have never in mye lifet seen a presidential campaign from a person of either party have this much outreach to a foreign count and a foreign country that the intelligence community and our committee has valited intervened massively in our election and intervened with an attempt to help one candidate, donald trump, and to hurt another candidate, hillary clinton. >> sounds like you have made your conclu you're close to a conclusion. >> those are the f

and, you know, that, ari, takes me back to helsinki. that is a consistent finding with what the intel community has been telling the president over these many, many months. and i think about him standing there in helsinki, in spite of the fact that he had this information from the intel community and essentially saying that i believe this guy, and pointing at vladimir putin, as opposed to the people who are sitting in front of me, the intelligence community. bob mueller has really put in terms that are not intel speak a very compelling case, that the russians in fact did that which donald trump has seen so reluctant to admit. >> does the lack of the conspiracy indictment clear donald trump of collusion? >> i think it does. i mean, on the basis of what i have seen, i have not seen the mueller report. but certainly on the basis of the letter that attorney general barr put together, it would it seems to me that that is a substantial finding there. and i think it's good news for, you know, for the president and for his campaign. >> good new
