and that's john allen and leon aaron.hat stories in your mind -- i mean you keep reading about this subject. what stories in your mind are really important about the nature of the relationship that are not being reported either prol or adequa-- properly or ad at all. i'll start with john. >> i think that while you see it touched on in some of the stories, i think the inherent vulnerability of the western democracies to digital intrusion and massive influence operations deserve as lot more coverage. we have seen the outcome of the migration out of the middle east which has in many respects created a moment of polarization in the politics of europe which i believe in many respects were accelerated and enabled by this influence campaign which appealed through the internet and through digital media in ways we have never seen before. what we are looking at at brookings now is the traditional concept of sovereignty. the west failian concept of sovereignty which is a line which encloses terrain, and people, and resources. ultima

i would like to start with john allen. mr. allen: thank you for the opportunity to join you this evening. evening. it's great to be with so many members and being a marine for so many years i never thought i'd find myself in a position where i'm thinking the media for your service. well done to you. we all hope in some form we can find some, purpose with any potential adversary. i am a standing measure we find that we in russia are at a moment of crisis and confrontation. we have to look for ways to have a conversation the fines, purpose and potential common interests. that will be difficult. >> but you accept the idea being in a new cold war. >> the level of confrontation we have is exceptional in the aftermath of the cold war. we are headed toward the level of confrontation that has the potential for even a military confrontation. >> overall russia's foreign minister was interviewed on bbc this morning-the same question. he said relations have never been worse. he explicitly included the cold war. i don't find the cold war f

weapons some south koreans are skeptical that the summit is good news there don't you go general john allen is saying that he will complete denuclearization and close the nuclear test site through the into korean summit but we can't believe it others however see the summit as a cause for optimism caught in a dialogue is always good talking in person can sometimes lead to a better outcome and that's why i think it's a good idea to go it over to you. well obviously it'll take time we'll have to see whether it's possible for north korea to become nuclear free before that some steps will have to be taken. as officials in panmunjom complete the final preparations for the summit it's clear that achieving any official agreements in just a day of talks will be difficult to say the least but friday's summit is a breakthrough in itself. and if the meeting goes smoothly it should lay the groundwork for something even more unusual talks between north korea and the u.s. . and here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you the american actor and comedian bill cosby has been found guilty in a

cnn senior vatican analyst john allen joins us more from rome on the pope's general message this moreage he led into the holiday with was potentially have a low-key easter, in some ways. >> reporter: hi, victor. first of all, happy easter to you. >> to you too. >> you're right. pope francis set a tone of trying to avoid over exuberance of p. . the pope has two corner stones on easter. one the mass he leads in st. petersburg. only two times he stands in this case. the other is christmas and he gives a blessing right after he is elected. in the mass this morning, we heard the pope talk about god is a god of surprises and how how hearts need to be open to surprise and how we need to be willing to get moving, once god does surprise us. then in the address which is 360-degree review of the state of the world the pope mentions special concern as for syria and the democratic republic of congo and south sudan and migrants and people of the poor and human trafficking and slavery and not a surprise for anyone who knows the pope but he focused the subject is not dimming. >> reporter: on friday p

john allen will be covering the pope's remarks when we hear from him. very much and happy easter again. >> and just in time for easter snow, natalie, you might get to see some snow, yes? >> 100% chance of snow coming to new york city, not here. >> it is going to be snowy and it is going to be very cold. happy april. april and snow. >> not an april fool's joke. i wish it was. this is terrible. legality me show you whe let me show you where it's been snowing. this would be a boring piece of video. nice man using his snow blower. but it's april 1st, so it's very unusual despite the fact that we're taking you there into wisconsin. there it is, back breaking kind of work, likes of which you don't want to see again until, my goodness, at least november or december. but we're dealing with it. and look at this. winter storm watches are posted for montana and we have winter storm warnings for parts of nebraska oh, and by the way, yes, this storm will continue pushing to the east. not a huge storm, but it's falling on april here shall where we've had flowers bloo

john allen joins me now. well, what happened?e what people have said was at least a tactically effective operation and add these famed bush words to it? >> well, you know, one thing i can tell you about president trump and most folks know this intuitively is he likes to overstate how well he's done things. it's served him well in the business world and it's been a central element of his political persona. i don't know if he was trying to taunt george w. bush in some way as if this missile strike on syria was somehow tantamount to the iraq war. i can tell you when george w. bush said mission accomplished aboard the aircraft carrier 15 years ago and, you know, we have 5,000 troops still left in iraq, at least at that point he had essentially toppled a dictator. that's not the scope of what you are looking at with regard to these strikes in syria. president trump struck syria a year ago. his general policy in that region has been pretty continuous with president obama except the difference of strikes. what we have seen is without th

john allen joins me now. well, what happened?hy take what people have said was an effective operation and add these famed bush words to it? >> you know, ari, one thing i can tell you about president trump, most folks know this intuitively, he likes to overstate how well he's done things. it's been a central element of his political persona. i don't think if he was trying to talk to george w. bush in a way like this missile strike on syria was similar to his war 15 years ago. we have 5,000 troops left in iraq. at least at that point, he essentially toppled a dictator. that is not the scope of what you are looking at with regard to the strikes in syria. president trump struck syria a year ago, his general policy in that region has been continuous with president obama except the difference of strikes and what we have seen is without the strikes and with the strikes, neither one deterred assad. >> why do you think he came up with that phrase, which is so linked to bush? >> i'm not sure if he's trolling bush or not. you know, the psyc
