ukraine called it an act of aggression by moscow. russiae ukrainian ships had illegally entered russian waters. this act by the russians is not, like all the other things they do in eastern ukraine, deniable in any way, because it is an act by the russian navy. and is it not also the case that to use force to enforce a blockade is in fact an act of war? this is no accident of timing. in the kremlin, they don't take these actions unless they have a very clear understanding of what the consequences may be. it's no secret that mr putin hopes to destabilise nato and to undermine the european union. should the use of fireworks be confined to just organised events? fireworks safety has been a long—running issue, following the many injuries that have resulted from accidents on or around november 5th. now, an e—petition backed by nearly 300,000 people is calling for a complete ban on the sale of all fireworks to the public. i am not personally the owner of a dog or a cat, but to be honest, if i was, i would live in terror of what it must be like fo

national church would make relations between kiev and moscow even worse seemed like they couldn't get much worse given the standoff we're in with russia here since well basically for years but based on the furious reaction we've had from moscow it does seem there is further to fall real extraordinary emotional statements coming from moscow since this happened yesterday calling all of these meetings illegitimate and calling on ukraine to kind of throw it all in something that's unlikely to happen i think the really important thing to look for here is what will be the approach to the moscow patriarchate so to the russian orthodox church as linked to moscow of. after yesterday's meeting will they lose churches will the ukrainian state promote efforts to get people to join the new ukrainian church there i think we could definitely see the russian government coming under some kind of internal pressure to react. tell me about the politics behind this move president bush and co he'll be facing a difficult reelection march russia called this a campaign ploy or was this mainly for shango who pushed for the creation of this new church well he d

difficult situation ukraine has been into defacto conflict with russia now for over four years so having the russian orthodox church the moscow patriarchy which is so closely associated not only with russia but president putin as the single biggest confession in this country did always raise a lot of questions. what about the people themselves how are they reacting to that new nations and dependent church. why i think there's a lot of confusion for now as to what this means is this just a bit of abstract church law or a church diplomacy or will this actually impact on individual congregations all normal believers i think the really interesting thing to see will be how many of those moscow patriarchy congregations and your priests try to go into the new church if they have conflicts maybe with their congregants with the other way around and how the government reacts to that we've had some pretty extraordinary remarks in from world champion boxer alexander hoosick saying he's in moscow patriarchy congregant that he would he with his own face protect his church and the ministry the latter mostly here in kiev so this is a thing t

up and just right over that bridge over there there's actually a lot of people not only from moscow and russia but from all over the world who have come here to celebrate new years on moscow in moscow on red square there enjoying the attractions the beautiful lights and the annual fireworks celebration they're waiting for that usually happens right after the the clock ticks twelve and it's get it takes about twenty minutes these fireworks it's a grand celebration and even you know there are people actually in other parts of the world who have already celebrated. the coming of the new year like as you said in sydney and hong kong and as many of our viewers know there's more than just one time zone in russia itself and across the many of them people have already brought in the new year like the autonomous regions of cum chocky and. now president vladimir putin has already wish to happy new year to many people in those in those regions as well as in the far the farther east regions of. but this year is actually not a usual new years for the russian people earlier today there was a gas explosion t

prepare for a world without the treaty the us has previously accused russia of building missiles and violation of the treaty moscow denies all the allegations and in its turn claims u.s. missile defense systems in europe install to counter rogue states like iran or north korea could easily be used offensively against russia. the arms race is getting out of control. we did not initiate this turn of events as you know it was not we who doubted the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed been developing the stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations and with only responded to the threats that confronted us were moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities were mean and we would never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have it would usually isn't our american partners x. is the agreement we will give an immediate reciprocate response in the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was signed over thirty years ago and bans short and medium range nuclear weapons both the production of missiles on the flight

russia. buthe moscow project wasn't the first attempt by president trump to expand his brand into russia. you wrote "it was a dream born in the 1980's, a t gleamingmp tower in the heart of soviet for donald trump that vision never died even as he lnched a presidential campaign." what explains this effort-long with russia? >> he wanted to do a thing he set out to do and he hasn't succeeded. you have to look at cohen's activities agast that backdrop. cohen was a guy who wanted to plse the boss. at was sort of his self-image nds being donald trump's man. and so hestood that if he could finally get the trump tower dealn moscow done, he would get in gd with the boss. you this history. trump goes in 1987 --. he goesn 1986. in 2005 he signed a deal with the campaign to try to build. he's back in 2013. he's trying again and. aga and you see the trump organization putting its name os buildin various other countries of the world. ussia was a place he wanted to be. it was a place where his brand -- russians liked hiserrand. they buying all over the world in his buildings. and he wanted auildinghere.

what is it about his movement to russia, what is it about the appeal of moscow generally of russia?s he always dreaming in that direction? >> well, you know, i would put this in context. i actually don't think it's only russia. trump was engaged in a number of these deals before he became, shortly before he became president, all over the world. he was doing it in brazil, doing it in india. he was trying to do it in russia. all of it mattered to him generally cutting deals in which the he had to put nothing into it. someone else financed it. he put his name on it. he got either a fee or equity in return. >> is that a part of the thing we are hearing about, there is a lot of russian rubles floating around. it needed to be laundered? there was a lot of money over there. he didn't need to bring money there? >> no, i think this was a way. i think he was looking to partner with russia. i don't think anyone was that exclusive. i think what's important to focus on when he said repeatedly i have no investments in russia or and i have no loans from russia. i think he's playing a semantic game

russia has had leverage over donald trump over the last two years. that even if the american people didn't know that donald trump had been pursuing this trump tower moscowhat they knew that the trump administration was lying to the american people about that. beyond that, we see these michael flynn telephone calls that he lied to the public about as well. and it's clear from those 16 contacts that there was an expensive and extensive effort by russian intelligence through russian intelligence to penetrate and make contact with the trump campaign, which they welcomed with open arms, which is what we're continuing to find out, that they embraced the help as it came from russians offering what in friday's court filing was called quote/unquote political synergy, which i think is a cute synonym for collusion. >> sam, if this is the case, what is the impact on american foreign policy? >> well, kalt, it has a direct impact on the policy the administration might be trying to pursue even today. can you imagine trying to work on democracy promotion today at the white house? leaving aside russia policy. trying to go out and call for free and transparent elections

you also have the connection to trump tower and moscow and russia. take a listen to michael cohen talking about moscow today. >> the special prosecutor say you did do everything to tell the truth about russia. is the president telling everything he knows? no. >> how does this end for donald trump? >> that gets into the whole investigation. i don't want to jeopardize their investigation now. >> what more do you think we are going learn about that russia connection to all of this. >> the russia connection gets stronger and stronger by the day. i don't know if president trump ever thought he was going win, so the whole effort to try to move forward on the trump tower in moscow was his, you know, his winning so to speak because he was going get that prize that he has wanted for a long time. so he wanted that project to move forward during the campaign. doesn't surprise me at all. michael cohen i believe will have lied not just to the special counsel, but to the intelligence committee as well when all is said and done. >> let me pose a question to you that

peace a new church has held its first split from russia the move was seen by ukraine as vital to its security and independence but is strongly opposed by moscow and russian sentiment in ukraine has grown since russia annexed crimea in twenty fourteen there's a less grave. than united and dependent ukrainian church was born today what kind of a church is it it is a church without law to put it what kind of a church is it it's a church without but through a career of moscow and all russia what kind of a church is it it is a church without prayers for russian officials and the russian army. and the annual have an inch national film festival has attracted movie some around the world but for cuban filmmakers just getting their work shown is a major challenge a latin america at its embassy in yemen has a story. it's opening night at the called oryx theater and the floodgates are open nearly five thousand people pour in anxious to see one of the cuban entries in this year's international film festival of havana. it's about the life and struggles of world famous cuban ballet dancer carlos acosta. for film producer. it's been a major accomplishment an
