it sounds to me like the distance from helsinki to warsaw or the distance from helsinki to budapest ise tangible. what do you and others in the west of europe say to a fractious eastern europe? >> well, first of all, i must say i travel that distance down to florence in absolutely no time. i think in negotiations, there is always going to be tension. this time it was on the level between the north and south, -- then on the conditionality of the value issue, it was between the east and the west. i think where everyone landed was somewhere smack in the middle. i feel quite comfortable with this package. i'm happy about the outcome. tom: i'm very curious of your thoughts at this raging pandemic debate over the path taken by sweden. it is just a fascinating scandinavian experiment. from out the path from oslo to stockholm to helsinki about how you all treated this virus. >> it has been quite different. sweden had a very what i would call a liberal and relaxed way of approaching it. norway, did way, finland, partially in iceland we went into -- well, i would say locked down much immediately

you know i don't think he's scared of him and and helsinki to be clear putin himself said at the line. after the one on one meeting the 2 of them had that it was trump who had raised the election interference issue i think it's very important for people who observe. who have to make decisions on whether to vote for him or people who report on him to be accurate in their criticisms there's plenty to criticize. but when people stretch beyond what they need to to make the criticism it doesn't strengthen the case against trump it weakens it it emboldens many of his supporters to say we're victims of a conspiracy by the press or whatever fake news hoaxes that sort of thing so when you have a lot of mere putin saying that trump raised the election interference issue at helsinki summit i think that's worth taking into account if you want to criticize trump if you're criticizing all you want i did but be accurate about. that out though detailed records codings a washington post no deal it's all records from 5 of trump's meetings with putin since taking office and the least one occasion in the

so he thinks helsinki. the next problem is he is 60 turns overweight he just took off from dubai they are not supposed to land with that much fuel you're supposed to use up all your fuel get to your destination and then you land now he has 60 tons of extra fuel and the electronics are not calibrated to land the plane that heavy so he has a decision to make do i go for the baltic sea and dump the fuel? that will take 40 minutes nobody is happy when you dump 60 tons of fuel in the middle the baltic sea. i will land heavy that means you to turn off the electronics and land the plane yourself light as a feather that you don't structurally damage the plane these are $500 million each. it's a huge airbus so immediately he has to start dealing with a crisis with the window a 40 minutes to figure it out. and then with the superiors in dubai to say is it okay i land heavy i will risk your brand-new plane and then get on the phone with helsinki with an airport they don't even know if they can handle the plane to lear

. >> i was in helsinki at that news conference when he said he believed putin and not the head of theigence community at the time. it was a pretty extraordinary moment -- >> and this is another echo of that. you're absolutely right. in helsinki he took putin's word over his own intelligence agencies and by what he is saying now about these intelligence reports on russian bounties, he's saying, i don't believe my intelligence agencies. i think what they tell me is a hoax. i believe putin and russia. it's just more of the same towards putin by donald trump. i think he's afraid of putin. but putin certainly has him dancing to his fiddle anyway. >> it was a moment for the director of national intelligence dan coats at the time when the president basically ridiculed his assessment based on the u.s. intelligence community, said he believed putin at that time. congressman adam schiff, the chairman of the intelligence committee, thanks as usual for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> as the president demands schools reopen and reopen quickly, many doubt that's the right move amid a surging pa

currently she's working on her contribution to the helsinki b.n. dollar 2021 in finland. that's also spoken of is made entirely out of wood and that's why i like to place a wooden structure in front of it because at the moment i'm looking for something that has a kind of a 1st shape. so you see how i can use these models to try out different shapes with a minimal effort succumbs and can coat them and paint that distorts the camis the surface of the painting and creates cracks and gaps and it's these gaps in the painting that i'm especially interested in. there's also a model here of the current exhibition in berlin. catalina gloucester enjoys the fact that her artworks exist for a limited amount of time. it's been with us and i think that's great beauty in the temporal limited existence and disappearance of the artworks which lingus and is a long process because it's an advent and the deconstruction these are already happening in the present. this impressive piece will also disappear. the exhibition called it wasn't us can be experienced until january. 2021. these days wi

pounced at the opportunity to roll out their long discredited narrative of trump russia collusion and helsinki time to put in his word over our own intelligence agencies because of putin strong denial now the kremlin is once again denying reports russia offered a bounty to kill americans in afghanistan if these reports are true would trump side with putin yet again now there's many people who won't believe trump or russia but will insist that the new york times is a credible source well what about u.s. intelligence officials not only will they not confirm the reports but they've issued harsh criticism of how the report was presented the ex compromised and disrupted critical interagency work to collect assess and ascribe culpability on. never heard this and it's disgusting how you continue to politicize intelligence you clearly don't understand how a role intel gets verified leaks of partial information to reporters from anonymous sources is dying just because people like you manipulated for political guy trump says it's fake news russia says it's fake news the us intelligence community will no

business advisory council as well as nongovernmental expert counsel which were discussed during the helsinki summit are still on the negotiating table. and dish and it's very important to the arguments in strategic stability we reestablished the working group on counterterrorism. let us not forget the terrorist attacks in russia which were prevented with the help of the united states special services. the russian site was one of the first to support the united states after the treaty events. i also have to add we have a regular dialogue with syria afghanistan venezuela the korean peninsula on the nuclear issue and some other topics. the peaceful exploration and this issue was mentioned in her latest conversation. i believe that our countries could do a lot to counter the covid-19 pandemic including joining efforts of doctors and scientists in developing treatment and preventive efforts >> i have a final question i know your time is limited from carol morello of the "washington post." briefly she asked how will russia respond to attempts to trigger snap neck -- she asked, carol morello at the

one minute past 8 pm in helsinki in baghdad and here in moscow this friday july 25th with a warm welcome to the program i'm you know neal. our top story the u.k.'s opposition labor party is pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked they laid out their demands in a letter to the country's t.v. regulator ofcom the watchdog is supposed to be independent and immune from political pressure in. texas through developments. these must be some sort of record in order vanity's history it has done less harm if any booth immediate and long term to great britain to the british people and britain's future than one woman did in the space of a single letter and this woman she isn't a russian agent she isn't a foreign spy or bent on britain's destruction no she is a member of the british parliament i am writing to request it off come urgently refuse license in light of this report in to request a meeting with you as soon as possible to discuss my concerns about the broadcaster just to bring everyone up to speed of course is an independent media regulator in the u.k. it has rules according to wh

most famously, of course, he did so in helsinki, when he would not condemn or even acknowledge russia's efforts to interfere with the 2016 election. there have been other moments since where he has also, when it would be a negative viewpoint on russia, he has dismissed the intelligence, even -- and yes, there is to be some debate as to how reliable all of this intelligence was, but it was clearly important enough to be brought up in the highest levels of government. and what we're seeing here is, again, the president unwilling to confront vladimir putin on a number of occasions on some of -- including in this case -- not just on u.s. intelligence, but on the lives of american soldiers. >> john heilemann, your take on this interview. >> well, first of all, i'll join the chorus of congratulating swan for doing a really nice job and not letting the president bob and weave and evade the question and staying on top of it, because few, very so few people are given a chance in front of donald trump will stay on one topic. and often, they get distracted by news of day. this is important. and i

person who has and ever will live on this planet has a purpose in life for good or bad tire from helsinki says i don't need the statues of races to get educated history is what we need to learn getting from the media says i don't see any point on taking down slave master statues i think the best option is to keep history and let the current generation change their hearts nancy says this is all part of history destroying them won't change anything it would be a great history lesson to others never to let these things happen again. stewart says it's nothing short of vandalism for what ever the reason and finally brenda says i think the statue should stay the out of mind to of what has been what will be next burning then if these patches and street names educate people and either ignored by people or they can in like book let's not brush a history under the rug bettering your faith and not i think the wondrous generation describes a group of people largely from the caribbean who came to the the u.k. between the late forty's and early 1970 s. as part of the large immigration to place for peop

the second thing is, when you look at what the president is doing, i was transported back to helsinkiwatchi inin jonathan swann trying to push the president on this russian bounty story. because there are two things, russia meddle, interfered in a u.s. election and it took president trump years that he could even utter the idea that that might have happened, even though so many intelligence agencies and his own government told him it did happen. and now u.s. troops, the most sacred of our american soldiers, the people who are tasked with keeping the world free, who are tasked with protecting us from foreign interference and harm, they are potentially being targeted by russia and the president can't be bothered to bring it up on a phone call were vladimir putin. critics of the president will say that this is the president once again showing he doesn't have a backbone when it comes to russia. the president will say -- i will say that the devil's advocate, the president will say, okay, so i brought it up with vladimir putin. what does it mean? he's going to lie. but the fact that the pre

and you can see this if you go to helsinki and try to get yourself something to eat at 9 or 10 o'clock at night it's really hard because nobody wants the washing dishes dishes that never look at night the most money does the couple was when finland produced the lowest in mortality rate in world history fewer than 100 babies died in war recently you know that's absolutely stunning one might say that ok finland hasn't had the genocidal history of the united states against native americans indigenous peoples the britons colonial or legacy is it all over now though i mean there are sanctions being imposed on china virus johnson obviously has expelled the hallway of a 5 g. seems to say once nakia from finland knock it. completely dependent on chinese component also there are sanctions threatened on russia which presumably will also hit the finnish economy as russia has a big trade trading partner of finland it can't get away this time every. it really intricate situations before you got a member fin there was on the border of the cold war it was in the most dangerous place when we were prep

he is once again, just like he did in helsinki, declaring this to be a hoax and taking russia's side, that is dangerous for us. >> do you think it is possible that congress could choose to respond to this by levying sanctions against russia or by taking some other action that's within congress's power, at least putting something on the president's desk that he has to decide about whether or not he would finally take a stand on behalf of u.s. troops. >> yes. and this is why i think the speaker is exactly right. the demand not just the gang of eight, just the intelligence committees, but also the full house be briefed on this because if these allegations prove out and are substantiated, it would require the whole house to act, the whole congress to act, especially if the president refuses to. we have done that before. we have passed sanctions on russia over the objection of the white house, and they will been compelled to enact them. this may be another case this is necessary. it's another reason why the speaker called out that everyone involved is the right one. >> i really appreciate

fbi was investigating the campaign members is because not the trump campaign but trump met him in helsinki. the thing i want to share, trump has been very divisive as far as far as dividing the country. you said trump defended most of the president. when history is written, we have video. the divisiveness and one more thing i want to say and then you can tell me if that is the reason. c-span had two people on their and he may not be a strategic thinker but we will have a cyber attack and he may still be in office and it will be handled terribly. two people were on c-span from the intelligence, the congress and it was a republican and a democrat and said not enough is being done for the cyber attack. >> host: thanks for the call from north carolina. let me go back to the second point. and i'm reminded when former president bush released a video praising the frontline workers during the pandemic, president trump's response was where was he during the impeachment? >> guest: that was remarkable to me, and to that point it doesn't make a lot of sense because most would see the video and say it'

he is once again just as he did in helsinki declaring this to be a hoax. and taking russia's side. that is dangerous for us. >> do you think it's possible that congress can choose to respond to this by levying sanctions or taking other action within congress power? putting something on the president's desk that he has to decide about whether or not he'll take a stand on behalf of u.s. troops. >> yes. this is why i think the speaker is exactly right. the demand the gang of eight or intelligence committee. but also the full house be briefed on this. because if these allegations prove out, and are substantiated it will cause congress to act. we have passed sanctions on russia over the objective of white house. and compelled to enact them. this maybe necessary. another reason why the speaker is called to have everyone informed is the right one. >> chairman schiff of the intelligence committee. thank you for being here. i know this is classified stuff. it's one of the most disturbing things i have covered in my career. all right. we'll be right back chblt (vo) parents have a way of imag

find that i think they are violating some of the principles in the helsinki pact with regards to human rights. reporter: many of your closest conservative supporters are troubled by your policy. seriouslyt it could put the security of the united states and the west at risk. what do you say to them? fmr. pres. reagan: they don't know what they are talking about. times a nuclear war cannot be won and should never be fought. to hear a interested foreign minister of the soviet union repeat those words himself not too long ago. -- the policy that existed when i came in called the mutual assured instruction, was a policy based on both of us having enough nuclear weapons. when the other one started a war with nuclear weapons, you could retaliate. well, what kind of a defense is that. in a nuclear war, how could there be a victor after those nuclear weapons exploded all over the country and made it radioactive? the people who once lived in chernobyl still cannot go back there to live because of the poison. my feeling is we start eliminating these nuclear weapons and getting rid of them. thatal

putin, with whom he has this long relationship with plenty of high and low points, including in helsinki when he sided with putin over u.s. intelligence agencies about the 2016 election interference. this is -- when the story first broke about these russian bounties, the white house deliberately shielded the president from questions. he went about two weeks without any event where he -- reporters were in shouting distance to be able to ask him anything or he was willing to engage with any kind of questions. in fact, i recall at least one rosen garden event normally set up for him to take at least a couple questions afterwards, he walked off without doing so. certainly this remains a matter of great import. certainly i can speak for myself and some of my colleagues who want to get him on the record about this. he has tweeted about it. the white house has spoken. they denigrated the intelligence. they said it didn't rise to the level to bring it to the president. the first few days there was a detainee when the president was informed. eventually he was read in. we have reported that the pr
