donald trump peace political opponents have spare no effort in trying to keep his presidency from the kremlin agents me aren't you the abuser of office charge nothing half so far proven strong enough to shorten his 1st term will the democrats attempt more of the same to prevent trump from running again to discuss that i'm now joined by admit. a russian journalist and an avid trump what church. to see in the studio thank you very much for coming it's great to be here now i know that you do not consider yourself to be triumph and i heard you say that some of the things that he said about women do you find you personally find disgusting in the if this is not the kind of impression you gave once you learned about he's victory 3 years ago. that reaction was by the way caught on camera and became famous. oh. we are the champions. wife of who and who are we are we the experts that 'd predicted the victory of doug and sean planned to sales and 16 because whatever you know people in washington think it was a great struggle for russian international experts. to really examine the american situation in

not only in newspapers and outlets but also are closed memos to kremlin they were all writing. that hillary clinton will win and so we should frame our politics these this way and that way and one all this all this charm thing came out of course of 1st they were just astonished surprised they didn't know what to do that was the 1st reaction of the program and the expertise i think it's fair to say that at that time there weren't many clinton fans in this city and madame clinton they usually like to say that you know putin hate her because she supported democracy and all the other. things i wonder if you believe that's factually correct do you think the kremlin's beef with madame clinton was ultimately about her meddling in russia's domestic affairs or was it primarily because of her legacy on the international arena well i don't think that was a special attitude any sort of like her come on that's a that's. a parent but for a politician especially for high ranked by the titian and russia to like somebody or to dislike somebody is not the way how the the the politics is shaped s

i wonder if you believe that's factually correct do you think the kremlin's beef with madame clinton was ultimately about her meddling in russia's domestic affairs or was it primarily because of her legacy on the international arena well i don't think that was a special attitude any sort of a life. that's that's. apparent but for a politician especially for high rank by the titian and russia to like somebody or to dislike somebody is not the way all the the politics is shaped so they were quite ready to work with her. of course she personally representative of the kind of business in washington that nobody liked that that's of course but this was known business but i mean was it about the business in washington was it about her support for actually putting protests in moscow back in 2000.

in a new economic and a new jip political reality and this is certainly a long term situation the kremlin understands that and of course i would also agree with my colleague in london that the so-called crimea is our safety act and it was a euphoric moment in 2014 when crimea became part of russia it was a euphoric moment for me new russian citizens and it was something that that. sort of new fides for a few years for several years up until now the massive protest activity that russia saw in 201-2011 electoral cycle and now as this effect is wearing off we are seeing the new protest activity not just in moscow but in other parts of the country and we can expect that people are going to manifest their. desires and their dislike of the problems that they see in their life even more steadfastly because the crimea effect is wearing off and give. before we go back to it because i wonder what do you think would be the next move now by the e.u. and the us now that this bridge is about an operation the the road side of the bridge was operational what last year another train side has become operat

remained part of ukraine after the change of power after yanick which was ousted in kiev then the kremlin believed that the russian black sea fleet that was based in ukraine would no longer be able to function would need to be moved to different bases and russia did not at that time even have bases where we could cause the russian black sea fleet and the kremlin it was also concerned the phrase that you had to interrupt your mother. with respect because back to your question with respect i have to interrupt you we don't need a history lesson we we need because we know the history of the region with respect so the question again is. how do you polish react to this in relation to obviously the history of what's called an independence here in the last couple of years. well the public mostly sees it as a necessary expense yes the economic situation is quite bleak and it's not expected to get better in the next months and years but for the 2 people for the live in crimea and for the people that seek to travel there of course the new infrastructure projects. look necessary crimea is being block

but this was taken place are right in the heart of the city of course not 10 minutes away from the kremlin from red square and whatnot what more can you toss that's definite at this point well there's more news coming in about casualty figures 3 according to eyewitnesses media accounts one traffic police officer was killed at the scene he unfortunately was targeted by this automatic gunfire come to his injuries at the scene in terms of casualties again we are saying there are 3 casualties that is probably accurate but what we do know what we don't know rather at this stage is whether those casualties are any further security personnel or if there is one attacker or of all 3 attackers were killed at the scene we just don't know right now i think was adding to the confusion is somewhat witness accounts say these perpetrators or perpetrator would dressed in security personnel uniforms now things might have got confusing in the run up in the panic as people fled the scene so we can't really take them at face value what we can confirm and this is official from the f.s.b. is that situation is no

now ukraine gate that is these charges against trump that he has some nefarious ties to the kremlin in russia itself in the and i'm speaking now the people me very the people in russia who study the united states they're my counterparts russia they study the united states they interpret these charges against trump as being logged because trump ran and he was elected on a program of quote cooperating with russia in fact i recall vividly you and i doing an interview together and we were both struck by trump's promise that he would cooperate with russia at that time i guess it was $216.00 the cold war was heating up and that was unusual and i took the position with you know i was not a trump person that that was a good thing but in russia today and i follow this de lay on the on the television and in the newspapers there is this belief among the people who care about american russian relations that all this grief and all these charges against trump originated because he wanted to cooperate with russia in other words that these it originated with the enemies of what our generation larry us

russian security forces raid the offices of prominent kremlin critic alexei navalny he said as part of a coordinated campaign against him coming just days after one of his close allies was construed conscripted to a remote arctic base. we start off in india the world's largest democracy is in the grip of widespread unrest over a new immigration law that critics see as anti muslim it grants amnesty to undocumented migrants from 3 neighboring countries but only if they're not muslim and his prime minister narendra modi says it's a way to offer asylum to persecuted religious minorities from neighboring muslim majority countries but many of india's own citizens are outraged at least $25.00 have died in protests across the country. a sea of defiance it is the biggest challenge to new render a movie since he came to power in 24th for the thousands here it is a battle for india's constitution to look at what we're seeing is that you're not through is different yeah i guess and. also argue it's going to hinder if this is really really needed in the rest of the country 40 percent of you know. r

now russian security officers have raided the offices of prominent kremlin critic. as foundation publishes exposé is on state corruption and is currently under investigation by authorities now earlier this week one of his close allies was forcibly conscripted into the military and sent to serve at a remote arctic base a move amounted to kidnapping. video footage reportedly shot inside the offices of the anti corruption organization set up and run by. the black clad men were identified by now of all these people as court bailiff's they were acting on a warrant issued because not all these groups refused to erase a video that accused russian prime minister dmitri medvedev of corruption. this desk in the office has been empty since monday it belongs to bruce lynch of ed enough a member of the staff seen in these file pictures to the right of the opposition leader chavez an author has allegedly been kidnapped and forced to do military service. for a bad day we did not know where roselyn was or what was going on because it was a real kidnapping. there were no legal groun

here's what we know from the kremlin. russian president vladimir putin called president trump earlier today to thank him for intelligence information that was provided by the united states to the russian security services. now apparent they information led to the arrest of two russian nationals on friday who were plotting a new year's eve terrorist attack in st. petersburg, russia. this is not the first time that u.s. intelligence has helped thwart a terrorist attack in russia. the same thing happened back in 2017. now, beyond that, the russians are also saying that president trump and russian president vladimir putin also discussed issues of mutual interest between the two countries. we don't know what those issues are, but of course there are a range of issues that could potentially include. this call came just as president trump was launching these five strikes in iraq and in syria against this iranian backed militia following a string of rocket attacks at u.s. forces at iraqi bases. that could potentially have been in

intelligence had inside the kremlin. all in the wake of that may 2017 meeting, the last time lavrov was in the oval office before today. that guy we had to exfiltrate out of russia in the wake of that meeting, "the new york times" would later report that that source who u.s. intelligence had to yank out of moscow and resettle him in the united states in 2017, he was such a highly placed source inside the kremlin he was the reason the cia was able to conclude that the russian election interference effort in 2016 had been ordered by president putin personally. because this guy was high ranking enough in the russian government that he could tell them that. according to cnn's reporting at the time, quote, the spy had access to president putin and could even provide images of documents on the russian leader's desk. incredible source for u.s. intelligence, right? particularly at a time when russia's newly aggressive toward us and toward our allies, they've pulled off this audacious military intelligence operation to mess with

and i think the kremlin understood that very well well they the kremlin the distant past very well and then rolled out very how sanctions against turkana to get the mediation of some of our neighbors to bring their relationship back together i don't want to argue about the specifics because i think we would never agree my point is that we had that moment of crisis and we were able to overcome the mistrust i'm sure the mistrust is still there it's been lost going acro but they're able to work together on areas that are mutually important do you think there is and i think that turkey can share with its nato allies with regards to how to deal with russia turkey can definitely serve as a mediator need be because it does share many does share many interests with russia also shares many interests with its nato allies and one of the things that turkey has tried to do over the last 10 to 15 years is create a more independent foreign policy creating this independent foreign policy has caused a lot of friction between itself and the united states a country that it used to always call a strategic

no longer grown up do we want the president of the united states to curse at the occupant of the kremlin the other superpower i mean ever since the advent of atomic weapons and president eisenhower every american president has attempted to do diplomacy with whoever sits in the kremlin to keep us safe from war conceivably nuclear war and we applauded that and by the way larry here's an interesting thing the biggest episodes of what we call detente that is cooperating with the kremlin were presided over by republican presidents right eisenhower correct nixon and finally ronald reagan who had the biggest cooperation detente of all so you could argue though i'm not sure trump's aware of this but he ought to say something about it he is squarely in the republican tradition of cooperating with what has what is food and said publicly about from. not very much meaning he gets a kind of smirk and wicked grin on his face when reporters ask him questions about whether he and trump have some secret relationship based on collusion i mean i think putin thinks it's preposterous because the he knows the

is taking place in the kremlin today that is where was the putin is whether that has any impact on the timing of this attack is obviously too early to speculate but it's something that we have to take into account but security will also be taking into account when they study the motives and the pattern of how exactly this happened because this is one of the closest goddess buildings in moscow i mean we know moscow has quite tight security anyway. there's security guards in most public areas in a lot. shopping centers in airports and train stations even in pharmacies you know there are security guards so normally it is a very safe city much more safe in fact in many other major cities this sort of event is quite rare in moscow where an individual or group of individuals has attacked a public building with automatic weapons this is very rare and would have caught the people there in the area of course very much show by surprise but it does seem that the security forces have reacted quite quickly public transport was rerouted from the area the whole area was shut down and as you mentioned

well the reaction from the kremlin has been of course negative to this whole scandal when it comes to the murder they have repeatedly denied kremlin involvement in this case but in a way the response from the russian side that we saw today was to be expected this kind of a tit for tat response is very frequent in russian politics and russian diplomacy and we even saw putin on monday saying that there was an unwritten law that if people expel russian diplomats russia will expel their diplomats in this case i think it's interesting to see that both sides seem to be treading a little bit carefully russian german relations has traditionally been close we just heard about the north stream 2 pipeline which is supposed to connect the 2 countries so economic ties there are also very close and we heard today from the kremlin that this is a necessary step that they took and that they even hope that it won't hinder a further relations get in the way of further relations with germany. and reporting from moscow thank you. like to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news aro
