joins us now from moskow. so diana what will happen to this russian journalist now? will she ever be able to return to her home and live a normal life going forward? >> well, she has said that the last three weeks have been very difficult. she's had to move from house to house in moskow. now, the kremlin has been very slow on the uptake of this story but it has now said that the investigative committee here will launch an investigation into not just these reports of the abuse of guy men in chechnya but also of other detentions there. and she says she will now cooperate with that investigation and she'll leave the country after that, but she will continue her work on chechnya. you really do see a sense of what drives her. the one who died was saenchsy a mentor to her and was killed in 2006 for her reporting on chechnya and for the kremlins associations with leaders in chechnya and the beginnings of the chechnyan war. it is truly a crusading spirit she decides to continue her work and continue those investigatio

then he gets to moskow, has his press conference with lavrov, and in his prepared remarks he doesn't even mention russia's interference with u.s. elections. that should have been one of the prime issues he addressed, and he didn't. and then today he avoided criticizing putin once again. when he mentioned what nato's chief challenges are, he talked about migration but didn't mention -- >> so a strategy from the trump white house -- you're not saying the trump white house and russia is in on it, are you? >> no, just the signs here may be a bit more subtle. both the trump administration and the putin regime are very skilled at political theater, and i think that's what we're seeing here. the fundamentals are the same. >> anita, i want to turn now to you. now, according to the post the fbi was able to obtain the warrant after convincing a judge there was probable cause to believe page was acting as a foreign agent of russia. here's what he said. listen. >> this is -- it's just such a joke that it's beyond words. i talk to diplomats all the time, based in new york. you're always meeting w

that makes moskow completely wetted to techren.which made the original trump strategy of let's try to strip that alliance almost impossible. putin cannot afford to get rid of iran without getting rid of assad. and to him that would be a sign of weakness. look, there is no love loss betwee between assad and putin. he doesn't want to be there doing this, be at the u.n. contauktic conspiracy theories about the gas. his hands also tied. >> we were talking about the american's military might, the russians can't stand up against syria. we're still remembering the wars we just got out of it. are we willing to go back there even though we had the strongest military might in the world? >> that's a question we routinely have to pulse. what our allies do quite well is we self-regulate. there are laws of land of cam bat, how those domains of war and how we engage in those domains have rules. >> to win these conflicts you have to put soldiers on the ground and have them die. >> everybody standby. when we come back the latest on our breaking new

anxiety, could also be something of an asset when it comes to sitting down with sergey lavrov in moskowwednesday of this week. because that element of surprise, that element of unpredictability is something we haven't seen in u.s. policy for a long time, anderson. >> obviously, rex tillerson had said on sunday the priority is the fight against isis on the ground in syria, which is obviously separate from whatever this administration wants to have happen to bashar al assad. where does that stand? >> reporter: well, it's incredible, anderson. the day after the u.s. strikes on the are a beam of bashar al assad, isis launched a major attack on a u.s. base in southern syria. the u.s. was able to repel that attack. it gives you a sense that the u.s. is still actively engaged in a very tough fight against isis in syria and iraq and potentially this shift in policy, if it is a shift in policy with regard to bashar al assad, could complicate that fight. because the russians are, of course, assad's biggest backers. but they are also essential for the u.s. to go about this fight against isis. and

the proper form, seeking permission to get paid by a russian state tv channel for a 2015 trip to moskow. but the state strongly denies any effort to conseal the payment. they say flynn briefed the intelligence agency before and after the trip. what does that mean for the white house, we'll try to unpack that in the 5:00 hour. but first president trump's about face on nafta. what was it that led him to renegotiate instead of pull out? new details next. yeah, i just saved a whole lot of money by swhuh.ing to geico. we should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico insures way more than cars. boats, motorcycles... even rvs! geico insures rvs? what's an rv? uh, the thing we've been stuck on for five years! wait, i'm not a real moose?? we've been over this, jeff... we're stickers! i'm not a real moose? give him some space. deep breaths, jeff. what's a sticker?!? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more. i am totally blind. and i live with non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the people, places, and t

david: in the midst of all this secretary of state rex tillerson is heading to moskow right now.ews's rich edson is live from moscow with the details. is he really walking into a hornets nest there, rich. reporter: he is is, david and secretary of state rex tillerson arrives here in moscow tomorrow he does so with the better part of a week of the united states and russia condemning one another. the latest coming from the white house and press secretary sean spicer who noted the international support the united states has gotten since the attack on syria last week and noting has in its corner, iran, north korea and syri as spicer says, we the united states are on the right side. the white house previewed the message the secretary of state delivered when he arrives here to moscow from italy. >> i think if you look at the countries that are with us it speaks pretty loudly the number of countries that stood shoulder to shoulder with this president. russia, on the other handstands with syria, north korea and iran. when you contrast the two groups of countries, seth, it is pretty clear

page acknowledged he communicated with a russian man he believed to to be working at the moskow's u.n. office in 2013. >> i never gave him any information which is material or classified or in any way improper. the assumption is that it would go back. >> reporter: this complaint detailed how russian spies worked to recruit page as an intelligence source. carter page has described himself as a junior member on the policy team during the trump campaign. president trump's team tried to distance itself from page. candidate trump acknowledged he was joining the team in this march 2016 interview. >> we heard you might be announcing your foreign policy advisory team. >> we are. carter page. >> reporter: fbi director james comey has confirmed that the feds are investigating possible ties between the trump campaign and russia. comey has declined to discuss details. >> it's a pain in the neck to get permission to conduct electronic surveillance in the united states. a pain in the neck. and that's great. >> reporter: carter page has offered to testify before the senate and house intelligence com

and that's probably the topic for secretary tillerson in moskow. >> do you think there's also an advantage administration did last night in terms of, you know, other bad actors, north korea watching this and -- >> absolutely. as senator mccain did, he did this because of genuine human moral outrage. and i'm glad he reinforced an international norm. but he also gets to send a political message, and-thinkfry lsh the message is i'm not the other guy. and he was sending that to us in america, our friends in the region, and he was sending it to syria, russia, and iran. >> general michal hayden, i appreciate your time. up next the latest from the ground in syria. be right back. 've got... ...allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. it's good to be in, good hands. briathe customer app willw if be live monday. can we at least analyze customer traffic? can we push the offer online? brian, i just had a quick question. brian? brian... legacy technology can handcuff any company. but "yes" is here. you're saying the new ap

. >>> secretary of state rex tillerson arrived in moskow. came in next hour.et with him. hear what tillerson said ahead of the trip. roll tape. >> i hope the russian government concludes they have aligned themselves with a unreliable partner in bashar assad. now assad has made the russians looking not so good under these circumstances. it is worthying about, russia has really aligned itself with the the as regime, iranians and hezbollah. is that a long-term alliance that serves russia's interests? or, would russia prefer to realign with the united states, with other western countries and middle east countries seeking to resolve the syrian crisis? stuart: well senator scott brown joins us now. secretary of state tillerson is taking it right to the russians, saying look, are you with us or are you with them as in iran and hezbollah? that is a confrontation, scott. >> well, certainly. if you remember when the secretary was being, going through the nomination process everyone said, oh, he is just a businessman. you know he has ties to russia. we really can't trust
