trump dealing with mr. putin in this rather inexplicable manner in terms of his submissiveness, his congratulating mr. putin on his election but not saying anything about the poisoning of individuals on british soil or interference in the election. when i was asked the question do they have something on him, i don't know, perhaps they do. i don't know. but one of the things we have to look at is why is mr. trump being so deferential to mr. putin. the killings on british soil would have had the approval of mr. putin. mr. trump needs to send a clear signal to mr. putin privately as well as publicly that what you are doing, what you are authorizing, is totally unacceptable, and you and your government are going to pay a cost unless you change your ways. >> what do you think of vladimir putin coming to the white house? it would be the first time since 2005? >> inconsistent with what i think our policy approach should be with russia. why would we reward mr. putin with a visit to the white house to meet with the presid

it's mr. putin. he's the bad actor. we need to take action against him. >> let me switch gears and talk about another sensitive issue. the president's nominee to run the department of veteran affairs. are these new allegations against ronny jackson's behavior disqualifying? >> understand they are being made by members of military that worked for him. they are extremely troubling. i do believe we're entitled to a confirmation hearing to find out the facts. let us go through the proper vetting here in the united states senate. it's clear that president trump did not do that. i must tell you hearing these allegations, knowing the source, knowing there's multiple sources, it's extremely troubling. >> let me get another issue, i want to get your reaction. sources saying that rudy giuliani, the president's new lawyer on his personal legal team, met this week with the special counsel, robert mueller to discuss the potential for an interview between mueller and the president. what's your reaction? >> as you complete an investig

this summit and mr putin. i will president of the russian federation asked for participating in this meeting. i'm happy to say we agreed on many things and for that i'd like to think about everyone involved we will do all we can to help syria. making peace and integrity happen and finally be reinstalled so. go to. rather than a joy to my knee thank you. its own person. she did. so mr attorney now give the floor to mr putin. i like to thank all the presidents. is a gentleman. my door counterparts our three lateral. talks have been very substantial been taken place in a very businesslike environment with discussed in every detail every aspect of situation in syria discussing our views in our opinions about the future of syria then our efforts on the way to install a long lasting peace as well as discussing our arrangements which have been adopted and presented in the final starting. we confirm our resolute. so position on supporting the sovereignty independency. and territorial integrity of the syrian arab repub

we might all help mr. putin understand his grave error.

if we make that clear, then i think there's an opportunity to deal with mr. putin and russia. t if we deal with putin from weakness, we will continue to pay a price for that. >> i just want to sort of switch gears slightly, but actually it is the same track. with all of these very heavy global issues and domestic issues that the president, any president has to deal with, he now also is consumed by his personal issues with the mueller probe, you know, his personal lawyer, and now a former fbi director james comey coming out with his interviews and his new book. just listen to what comey has told abc about what he thinks of president trump. >> our president must embody respect and adhere to the values that are at the core of this country, the most important being truth. this president is not able to do that. he is morally unfit to be president. >> i mean that is pretty remarkable. in your experience, have you ever heard a major government official speak like that about a president and do you agree with his assessment? >> well i've been involved in public l for 50 years and, very

it syria if they want to achieve the and to chemical attacks then possibly possibly only possibly mr putin could assure him by talking to mr asa but if they want to achieve a wider solution then of course some kind of idea for that is needed to put it it's all very simple he is preparing himself for the world's top most authority on a countering regime change and as long as assad is a follow up he's that he's achieved his goal but then it is much more difficult but i don't think there's going to be any military response from the russians not as yet at least analysts constantine font agger and d.-w. bureau chief in washington alexandra phenomena thank you both very much meanwhile nato representatives have been meeting in the belgian capital brussels the military alliance says all twenty nine of its members are backing the airstrikes or nato allies expressed their full support for the last night's actions which was intended to degrade the sooner she aims chemical weapons capability. to deter further chemical weapons attacks against the people of syria. may strongly condemn the repeated use o

i want to see our leaders as we see them in europe stand up and say that what mr. putin is doing le our country is unaccept it is his responsibility, and he is going to be held accounble for his actions. katty: mr. pompeo has a close legendship with the president. one of the pblems with rex tillerson is he was not seen by erica's allies around the world or adversaries as speaking e man in the oval office but with that comes the balancing act of standing up to the president as well. i know you in the hearings.his do you think he will stand up to the president on other issues like iran apart from russia?n: sen. carhere's a couple points here. on some key issues, it appears he agrees with the president. it looks like he agrees with the president on the iranian nuclear strategy, he agrees he president on withdrawal from the paris climate talks. i find it very regrettable, rcause the head diplomat america needs to work with allies around the world on issues such as iran's nuclear capacity and the climate change issues. will he stand up to the president when he disagrees? weon

and we know for the first time trump has mentioned mr putin by name while criticizing him i mean what is your take on that i mean after all trump tweeted this week that despite tariffs and a looming trade war with china he and she will always remain friends. yes you right there with the nets i think that this criticism today is significant because it's been the first time that president trump has personally criticized of london we have pointed his government has taken lately more tougher stance on russia imposing new sanctions and criticizing russia's role in ukraine and syria president trump however was always very positive talking about blood in the poutine showing that he's very interested in having a good personal relationship with the russian president but this criticism today is significant i think and some commentators here are already assuming that the charm putin. bromance may be coming to an end yeah that's what we've been hearing a lot today i mean what is obvious and clear at this point is that the u.s. and russia have opposing goals in syria i mean you know despite whatev

and russia have opposing goals in syria i mean you know despite whatever you hear mr putin say or what mr trump may say i mean how can they continue to claim that they are working together they are against terror when their goals are so diametrically opposed. you're right and it really sounds strange but i have to say that i think that this may be the only area that is very important for both countries and might be the only area that they can try to cooperate or at least to call auden ate their efforts. right washington bureau chief i was on a phenomenon the story for us tonight here at the white house alexander thank you very much. still another victory for viktor orbán hungary's nationalist prime minister and his right wing party have once again taken more than two thirds of parliamentary seats in the general election mr orban calling the result a change or a chance to defend and areas now it comes after a campaign that took a hard line on muslim immigration for train migrants as a threat to hungary's christian identity it could also put the prime minister on an even more of a collis

it is -- it is a signal to mr. putin he could continue to do the activities he's doing now. >> does this undercut ambassador nikki haley's ability to represent the united states effectively on the world stage. >> i think it undercuts america's leadership to stand up to the practices of russia and the attack of democrat institutions not only here but around the world. and the support of human rights violators such as president assad. >> what is your reaction to hearing that mike pompeo, the outgoing cia director and the nominee for the next secretary of state secretly went to pyongyang in north korea and sat down and met with kim jong-un? >> i'm hoping that we can get diplomatic actions started to denuclearize the korean peninsula and this crisis. i think the conversations that have taken place between north korea and south korea have been positive. i think a meeting between kim jong-un and president trump could be positive. if it is properly prepared. having a high level cabinet official meet with kim jong-un in advance

there with putin until the end, but those who are essentially rely on the personal protection of mr putinf in aggregate would be much more difficult for putin to defend and that would be the sort of step that would indicate that the west is serious about challenging russia and its foreign policy course. facebook has announced that anyone placing political adverts on its network will have to state who is paying for them. under the new rules, those posting such ads will also have to verify their identity and location. the company's chief executive, mark zuckerberg, said he wanted to make it harderfor fake news to be shared. our correspondent, dave lee, reports from san francisco. one of these measures is to monitor the funding of advertising, to see where adverts that have been paid for by a campaign to be on facebook, to make sure that's completely clear. they're going to make sure that anyone who is placing an advertisement and on facebook around political interests is being verified, and they will do that by making sure they are using a us government issued id, they will send an access c

for years before he ran for president, trump repeatedly claimed to have met mr. putin. >> mr. met him before? >> once. >> have you met vladimir putin? >> yes, long time ago. it went great, by the way. >> reporter: when he was running for president, his story changed. >> i have never met putin. i have never spoken to him. >> reporter: biographers said with trump, embellishment and truth collide resulting in confusion. trump's claims to previously have met with putin may have meant he wanted to meet with putin in 2013 when he hosted the miss universe pageant no moscow. by yog f biographers said he never got to meet putin. they were on different continents at the time. >> donald trump sees the associations as being quite meaningful. so if he's on a tv show and a few minutes later someone else is on the same tv show, he might consider himself stable mates with that person. >> reporter: but none of that trump watchers say explains the alleged comment to comey about discussing prostitutes with putin. putin did once mention in public the allure of russian prostitutes three weeks befor

in a bombastic way to try and leverage we still have a little time for mr putin and trump to talk on the phone but the military is gearing up and from my experience in two thousand and three with iraq once the military gears up it's very difficult to call that back while president trump says that president putin is you know that they get along really well i assume they both have telephones that work and they can talk to each other because they could be a horrible thing to see this get out of control you cannot particularly with the mixed messages from president trump is to really judge a troubling and markets will certainly be roiled by it we are speaking with rosita horner a little bit markets of course but i think also the stock market's not just to the u.s. but global right you're going to have because what's what i just spoke to a source very well connected sources one who said that if there's a shooting war you can not only have russia but china and iran engaged so this could easily escalate into something that we don't want to see happen could be a monstrous mess michael maloof

assad, with mr. putin, and with several other people in the area to change their behavior, more than just a strike which may destroy something on the ground, there has to be -- ambassador hailey is starting this tomorrow in the u.n. there has to be much more diplomatic effort toward this and probably a whole lot fewer tweets. you know, this has to be a face-to-face or verbal-to-verbal and not messages sent over the airways for both russia to pick up what mr. trump is saying, and for us to pick up what russia's saying which is what's been happening all day. it's got to go beyond just a kinetic strike or we'll see ourselves in this position again in a few weeks or a few months just like we did from last year. >> nate, i want to ask you about john bolton because he is the new national security adviser. he takes the reins tomorrow alongside the president. he's famously hawkish. he's been an advocate for preemptive strikes. do you think his new place in the trump orbit, so to speak, increases the likelihood of

reached given that only a week ago moscow and washington agreed on a potential summit meeting of mr putin and mr trump and the u.s. capitol in the very next future but these plans seems now to be outdated and how is this control the server of these alleged chemical weapons how is this playing out in russian media how much of the picture russians getting. well look all this happens at the time when moscow has big financial difficulties and that is the real problem of the russians are facing now that this is the really . used number one here the ruble collapsed since yesterday because of the new us sections the accusations in the case of the poisoned russian double agents are just people and his daughter in the u.k. are still on the table but in the russian media of course we see a very different picture this article of any miss from the best is getting closer and moscow has now one reasonable more to defend itself this is the well known rationality. euro shatter in moscow thank you now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump h

it took a very long time for president trump to even utter a negative word about mr. putin and his administration has time and time again delayed the implementation of sanctions. reports in the press said that president trump was unhappy with his administration's decision to expel 60 russian diplomats after british citizens were victim of a russian-linked attack. the decision to expel those diplomats was correct in my view, but apparently the president wasn't happy with the decision by his own appointed national security team. now, madam president, the white house shouldn't have to drag the president kicking and screaming to do the right thing when it comes to punishing vladimir putin and russia. his refusals to stand up to the kremlin is troubling and leaves many americans wondering why? what does the president have to hide? that's what 90% of all americans are asking themselves. democrat, republican, liberal, conservative. his actions with putin have been so confounding and so contrary to american interests, there is virtually no rational explanation for it. and now at th

pew tip and mr. putin made it clear that we didn't interfere in your election campaign. we didn't undercut the internal security of the united states. it was clear. that's why if there is other questions, again, let's sit together and let's discuss this. >> some expect that robert mueller, the special prosecutor may next indict russian officials, officials in the government. what would the response be? if that were to happen would that take it to another level. >> excuse me, today i sniel a lot of. first of all, i don't want to interfere in u.n. relations. we are very close to the situation. when ambassadors will be kicked out of the country. >> w ended up where we started. you talked aut a lot of wanting to see our countries cooperate. everybody agrees that would be better. why do you think relationsh relationships -- why do you think the relationship between our two countries as deteriorated to this point? and what part of it -- what responsibility is russia willing to take for that? >> first you say i don't understand why russia should take any responsibility. you see

as alex a miller he has russia's state owned energy giant gazprom and is a close friend of bloody mr putin and then there's suliman karimov whose family controls russia's largest gold mining company those affected said they're not too worried. have been included in other lists before and despite this we continue our active international work. i think we're working effectively visit many countries. the us has also added twelve companies to its sanctions list one of the targeted businesses is g.a.c. group which makes commercial vehicles it is partly owned by the top oligarchy all the pasta who also faces personal sanctions the west's firm stance after the poisoning of a former russian spy in england is likely to have triggered the new sanctions. however the us government has been under pressure to react following russia's the last interference in the last us presidential election cycle warfare and its military activity in ukraine and syria respects. we stay in the u.s. where the latest job figures show that the economy only added one hundred three thousand jobs in march that's down sharply f

president said that the russian president mr putin may bear responsibility what do you make of that. i think that it is quite significant because it was the first time that the president's trump has personally criticized the russian president he's administration has taken lately tough stance on russia criticizing the russian government for its role in ukraine and syria but presidents one was always very positive talking about bloody me of poutine as showing that he is very interested in having a good personal relationship with vladimir putin and is now this criticism so some coming teachers here are all of the you mean that poutine bromance might be coming to an end yeah and we've heard it many times before as well our washington bureau chief always under phenomena at the white house tonight alexander thank you very much. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the f.b.i. has raided the offices of u.s. president donald trump's personal lawyer michael cohen the new york times is reporting that the agents seized records related to several topics

but if mr. putinn is trying to play for the cameras, he cannot be president trump on that front at all. >> i agree with you. eric: meanwhile, there is north korea. it's like the u.s. is fighting one of those two headed monsters from the king kong movies. you've got north korea and russia appeared between the two, which is the bigger threat? >> there is no question russia because of its nuclear arsenal is certainly the biggest potential threat. i want to underscore that our nuclear deterrent in conventional military deterrent to neutralize both of them and are markedly neutralized north korea with whatever they have. they can inflict harm on us, but we can annihilate their country and they know that. kim is also trying to take a page from the putin playbook and playing to the cameras as well by going to visit china. he's going to be talking to president trump. so he's doing the same thing. the fact is he does not have a fraction of the power we do. eric: what is the united states power play against eac

i don't think that mr. putin cares about the diplomats.ony criminal system there in moscow that he controls, and the they have the ability to move their money around. i do applaud the administration, this is a signal. this sends a signal between us and our allies and willing to start to take this seriously. if it is important to putin, it is the signal of seriousness. mr. putin smells out weakness and focuses on that, and pushing at it. so f we show seriousness and continue along this line, i think it will send a strong signal to him. >> one of the algarts, known for his connections to paul mannafort that is a development that we learned late friday as we were looking at this joyce. mannafort's attorneys, filing a motion to suppress evidence, this is related to more evidence that is coming about because of mueller pursuing paul mannafort. th manafort. >> it is early to think about him flipping, if it happens, i think it will happen closer to the trial date. >> what do you say early? we look at others who have moved over to the mueller camp

mr. volkov. you do to increase the chances putin leaves power and is there a way that you or mr. alny see that happen? can he leave with criminal charges? what can you do to make sure he leaves in 2024? matthew: the gentleman and black. >> is it possible the russian government would adopt measures used by the current chinese government like the spy walls to control -- not just control, but change the behavior of the proposition. -- they have a couple of times already stolen all of the for such abudgeted system. i do not believe they would even fix it. for the first question, well, i putin is highly likely will run in 2024. milestones.ortant since 2011, our strategy has been to hold up and reach out to more and more people to find new -- that wasoutube not in our inventory before 2015 and now it is essential. we have organizationally grown-up. reasons,ppen any dependent on us or not. issues are some very natural biological events or internal struggles. endo not know how this will , but we have to be ready. grown-up and strong as an organization. of course, we have to do everything

president trump has played a game of chicken with mr putin, he has thrown at the steering wheel out, we're coming. now it's to escalate, or to stay out. he's staying out. the message is, we're not going to change — we're not going to change the situation on the ground dramatically. and we're not going to come after you. there is a way it could work. of course syria is the most complex. there is a risk things can get out of control. the last point to a chris philp. it looks like the british are on board for this. i don't recollect there being a vote in parliament to sign up to that. we have to wait to see the decisions the french, americans and uk government take in the coming hours and days. this idea about a vote in parliament is clearly desirable that parliament has a chance to vote. sometimes events on the ground move fast and it simply isn't possible. the idea we have a vote for action is relatively recent, it happened with iraqi in 2003 and in 2013 and 15. we haven't had vote historically, we declared war on germany in 1939 without a vote in parliament. if there is a fast—moving

one of mr putin's old associates is with us, to explain what's going in the court of the president.n vigil, but not at the door of an abortion clinic, according to one london council. is that a restriction that should catch on? and how nineteenth century mathematician ada lovelace was a pioneer of computer science. hello. relations have been getting bad for a while, but we reached a jaw—dropping moment today — a russian ambassador arguing that his country would shoot down missiles aimed at syria, and even retaliate against launch sites if there was an attack. then president trump retorted on twitter, "get ready russia because they'll be coming! nice and new and smart". it sounds rather like the way social media is said to have amplified gang conflict in london, apparently contributing to the rise in knife attacks. except this is russia and america. it was only back in 2009 that a then new president obama wanted to press the reset button on the relationship with russia. then president trump promised "we're going to have a great relationship with putin and russia." well, not quite. al

i certainly agree that mr. putin wants to be in power as long as he's alive and he won't be limited by the constitutional terms, we saw that. if it's up to every dictator to stay in power as long as they wanted then every would stay in power as long as they wanted and as my good friend boris says in st. petersburg. likes to repeat the page, that 99% approval two weeks before. [laughter] >> took the words out of my mouth. and a regime is stable until they are not. i want to go back to you, angela, and strobe, to get your take on some of the ideas that julia and-- well, you said that russia's becoming more isolated. i think the problem is in the west we tend to think because we've tried to isolate russia that it's isolated and we saw that after the crimea a annexation and sanctions. and russia has a stronger relationship with china since annexation. there are tensions there and russia is the junior power and china is the rising power. for both countries, it's a useful partnership, the chinese are increasing their econo

payton -- mr. putin. mr. haass: i thought you were going to say mr. then yahoo! -- netanyahu.e east and i would be surprised if we didn't see some kind of recurring military action between israel and both as law and serial -- has ollah.ed -- hezbio francine: two sanctions work? if there were sanctions on american businesses, with a work as we saw sanctions on russia? sanctions never work if the goals are short-term and ambitious. it's led to certain penalty on iran's economy, sure, but will it be enough to get iran to fundamentally change its policy in lebanon, syria, or anywhere else, the short answer is no. ofple ask too much sanctions, that the history of them as a national security foreign-policy tool and arnold that that's going to change anytime soon. there is often a counterproductive elements. if we want to see reform pressures grow in iran, we have to be really smart. sanctions can smother the economy, they can help the government and hurt private sector environments. we really want that if our goal is to encourage ultimately the opening up of the society? francine: i

we're a lwa ys trump and mr putin recently. we're always open to contact like this.er. the militaries of the two countries are also contacting those generals that are not frozen yet are being used. —— those channels that are not frozen yet. last yea r‘s —— those channels that are not frozen yet. last year's strike damaged a single syrian air base but did nothing to damage the government's behaviour. something much more substantial is expected this time, possibly as early as tomorrow. matthew price is in beirut. i understand there is a delay in the line but how much opportunity have you had to speak to people again to get a sense of the nervousness where you are? well, i'm not sure i would characterise it as nervousness. certainly in lebanon, jane. there is concern, there was a radio phone in in beirut in which people were bringing in and discuss in all subjects but one that kept coming up was wall. so there is a recognition of the fact that there is potentially something that is going to happen and in neighbouring syria and damascus is just to happen and in neighbour

assad and mr. putinow have -- are tee deterred from using them both in the future. >> juliet, do you agree with that that they are now deterred and beyond that, if that is true their deterred from using any chemical weapons, but what do we do from this point on? because it doesn't solve anything with the leader of that country with bashar al assad. >> exactly right. i think what we saw, at least friday night, was the challenges from going sort of a tactical campaign which was that. that was essentially to take out some sights and make a statement about the use of a chemical weapon to a more strategic mission. and that mission has a problem which is the general architecture of what is going on in syria which is assad is in power and the russians are supporting him has not changed and will not change without more engagement by the west which is something we and nor our allies want to do. i think what you're going to see is just a focus on chemical weapons as sort of this area where the west is going to ins

i know you're nodding yes because everyone agrees when they think about it. >> we might all help mr. putind his grave error. >> does he agree with mcmaster that we have failed to impose sufficient costs on russia? >> what mr. master said is that we've been very tough on russia. he echoed the president's message from yesterday that no one has been tougher on this president than this president. what he also said was other nations could do more and should do more. that's not different or in contrast to anything that we've said. >> not what he said. not what he said at all. >> incredible. >> so while mcmaster did say in his speech that the united states is act, he also said, quote, but we must recognize the need for all of us to do more to respond to and deter russian aggression. and he did not say no one has been tougher than russia on president trump. just 6 1/2 weeks ago when mcmaster spoke about the kremlin undermining the u.s. in the presidential election, president trump tweeted this, general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the

it would be that way probably to mr. putin as well. so you really want to know exactly what trump is doing, what the congress doing. don't forget, the congress has a different message than the president at times. and this is very confusing for many leaders in the world. we don't know how putin will take it and it is very dangerous because right now these two countries are in the worst relationship they have been in since the beginning of russia -- after the soviet union fell and that is not a good place to be with two nuclear super powers that with miscalculation could start another conflict in many ways. >> and finally roger stone spoke to anderson cooper earlier been asked whether the president would speak to the special counsel robert mueller if invited to do so, here's what he had to say. let's listen. >> in your opinion, should the president ever sit down with the special counsel? >> i have written and said on info wars repeatedly that i thought it was perjury trap, that there is every possibility the special counsel is looking at

>> mr. putin may believe that he is winning in this new form of warfare. >> we'll find out. i'll let you know. it'll be a time when i'll let you know. >> russia brazenly and implausibly denies its actions. >> probably, nobody has been tougher to russia than donald trump. >> we have failed to impose sufficient costs. >> i know you're nodding yes because everyone agrees when they think about it. >> we might all help mr. putin understand his grave error. >> let's make something clear, that's h.r. mcmaster. >> gone. >> and president trump. h.r. mcmaster giving his last address as national security adviser. a different message from the president. >> natasha joins us live now. what do you make of the new sanctions? it seems that any time this happens, it pains the president greatly. then, we learn afterwards that the sanctions aren't as tough as they're going to be. >> sort of like kicking out the of -- 60 and swapping them out for other ones. >> this is a huge step and something most of the experts i've spoken to about the appropriate punishment for russia's election interference

president mentioned mr. putin. >> brennan: by name. >> that was significant change.but he has not done that in regards to the sanctions imposed against the he'll gashs and with mr. putin's interference. >> brennan: you helped author a law that provides oversight for nuclear deal along with your colleague, senator corker who said he expects the president to withdraw next month from that international agreement. do you agree with senator corker? >> i think both senator corker and i agree it would be a mistake for the president to withdraw from the iran agreement. if the united states violates the agreement we are isolating america not iran from international community. by all indication iran as not violated the agreement. yes, i disagreed with the agreement from its beginning but this isn't an agreement, iran is complying with it the united states would be marginalized by withdrawing. i hope the president will recognize that we need to work with our european allies make sure we're lock step against iran. >> brennan: mike pompeo, his conmir makes is this week as he goes

stayee mr. putin wants to in power as long as he is alive. he is not going to be limited by constitutional terms. was up to every dictator to stay in power as long as they wanted to, every dictator would stay in power. say, good friend likes to he likes to repeat this phrase. grew nicolette chuck the romanian leader had 99% percent approval two weeks before he was ousted. yourwant to go back to take on some of the ideas julia, angela talked about. you said russia is becoming more isolated. wetend to think, because have tried to isolate russia, it is isolated. we saw that after the crimean annexation. china a partnership with which is stronger since the crimean annexation. the in the end, russia is junior partner. for both countries now, and i think the future, this is the kind of instrumental partnership the chinese are in increasing their economic relationship. the two leaders support each other. the two leaders support each other. they don't question each other's domestic systems. another populist pretty that has enjoyed good relations with
