asked mr putin to which. attention to football never stop doing that i'd like to wish you good health again. god help you. every. day and every state will be helping you on the way thank you. mr burton did not know. what i understand we're talking about the legacy. of two thousand and eighteen with world cup legacy what we're going to do with. the big infrastructure of following the world cup. we've managed to resolve. one of the biggest challenges that other countries have not. been able to do the countries that hosted the olympic games. the infrastructure in sochi. the maritime and the months in a cluster the coastline the maritime cluster have been busy with different even so the infrastructure is being is operational and is being used now back to you are three football infrastructure we spent a lot of money on it and i absolutely agree with you it needs. to work. but you must that was in the benefit of sports. should be. youth leagues youth teams we need to stone age events and. these then use. it on a ba

mr. putin answered questions on relations with the west, russian troops in syria, and updates on the new 12 mile bridge. >> translator: this year we have a lot more questions about the relationship between russia and the west. i should say it's not only about some alarming feelings but also about the feelings of disappointment. i will quote one of the messages we received. as if russia should be blamed for everything. how should we behave when no one even turns to listen to our arguments and we can clearly see that no one is going to listen to us. >> one of the questions, you get an endless stream of accusations against russia and that echos the question that you just stated. >> my position on this multiple times, this is a method to contain russia just like so called sanctions. these recurrent allegations provide the basis, the foundation to take containment measures. at least they feel that it would contain russia because they see russia as a threat. they see russia as a competitor. what i fe

mr. putin. >> good afternoon. >> i'm from a region, but i've come here to participate. my question is as follows, i think that russia has always been a country of free expression of will and free thinking and this -- debates for the sake of truth have always been important for everyone and we have been seeing a lot of alarming signals. some people who are very much enthusiastic about some extreme things, . just some harsh talking and some hate speeches. sometimes even these talks resemble some words of a simple -- for instance some young boys were accused of creating a group to organize a referendum on the responsibility of the government for what is happening. they say it is a criminal gang. but we cannot intervene in law, but maybe we can be a bit more attentive to the real situation. maybe we should be a bit more -- about our criminal code. there are some people who do bad things, well they should be punished, and sometimes we see that even the works of great authors can be regarded as viola

if you are mr. putin, by the time you get to round two with, you've basically got the oligarchal situation cleaned up. you've got to stay where the security services are basically your security services. and in that situation, you can't promise a future. you just can't because there's not going to be rule of law under you because there's not going to be rule of law under you. and so you have to do something else besides promising policy. and the thing that you can promise is a foreign policy of spectacle which is what the war in ukraine largely is, and syria too. there's this interesting moment, i don't know if you noticed this in the russian press where in the last week of september 2015 in the russian press the subject changed literally from one day to the next. i think it was the 28th to the 29th. one day from the next -- one day to the next from ukraine to syria. bang. hey, look at syria. and then roughly speaking the same storyline, right? we're defending the right and the good, the legitimate leader

trump is going to give a summit to mr. putin, i think mr. trump looks at this in a different way about what is best in the national interest. >> there's a couple of things he said to us in the oval office yesterday of what he wants to bring up. syria, russia's support of ukraine. crimea. he did not answer whether or not he will bring up election interference. given his tweet this morning, there are concerns among his critics he doesn't seem to be buying his own intel officials' thoughts on this. why does the president still doubt this? >> that's a good question. there is anonymity within that the russians did interfere in the election. i think he's turning a blind eye to it because it doesn't help what he wants to do. it poses as an obstacle. i'm also concerned about what hasn't been done to protect our next elections. this year as well as 2020. there needs to be more things done not just in terms of letting russia know this isn't tolerable. but also to better protect that environment so that russia and other actors are not going to have the

other european leaders he's going to go forward with his own priorities when he goes to talk to mr putin i suspect it's going to be some issue on the american side in terms of the advice he gets from mr bolton mr pompei or other people on his team who don't particularly want to see a warming of relations with russia i think the discussion of ukraine may be very contentious on the one hand we have secretary of defense secretary of state pompei o saying that that there's no reason russia couldn't return to the g. eight even of crimea remains in russia but he's also saying that ukraine needs to become part of nato which from the russian point of view i think would be very very provocative to discuss that all right very interesting to hear thoughts is going to be interesting to watch it all play out former u.s. diplomat jim johnson thanks for being with us here on our to international thank you. and switching gears now day fifteen of the russia world cup decided which of the remaining teams would make it through to the knockout stage over now to neil harvey and peter schmeichel from our spec

mr. putin. my name is sergey. i'm a pensioner, but i work. my question to you as commander-in-chief is when are the russian forces going to be withdrawn from syria completely? >> well, we don't only have our military in syria, and it's not just about that.

mr. putin, taking action against the why they say you cannot study these sanctions. >> we are not in favor of any unilateral action. >> they don't work. they only made the situation. now, talking about the situation we've been raising that issue with the border states repeatedly. we cannot imagine this in a society with hundreds of thousands of people called noncitizens, people without citizenship. you never had such a notion that was invented to eliminate those heresies. but to defend the interest again we should need to take appropriate measures so that we are now pursuing p the policy fm the european union and i'm sure at one point they would appeal ashamed and embarrassed. they are pointing out the violations that they allow inside the eu. we will continue to take the necessary measures that we shouldn't harm the people that are living there. we also have a number of famous people write at this point we have a member of the parliament. i am from the office and here we have a huge following.

a leader warning here that i had a meeting with mr putin as well as well as of course the ongoing syrian conflict so very much a productive summit according to the russian president. has been a year since the official launch of the operation to liberate the syrian city of rock out from islamic state terrorists who had made it the capital of the self-proclaimed caliphate to coincide with the anniversary i'm going to the international released a new report on the situation in the devastated city accusing the u.s. led coalition of relentless air and artillery strikes even suggesting it may have actually committed war crimes there and according to the coalition itself the real number of civilians killed in the battle for rocca will never be known. as far as how do we know how many civilians were killed i'm just being honest no one will ever know anyone who claims they all know is lying. by getting to the bottom of what was really happening in iraq as the americans and allies were freeing it who will be bothered to do that or it will take ages the prose of war behind these walls may have thou

mr. putin out from underneath the sanctions that have been in place for the last several years. he has threatened many european nations, and i'll include in those poland, the baltics, he has interfered not only in european elections but there's -- actually allegations that he's murdered people in other countries like the uk. and the president hasn't seemed to be all that forthright about what he's going to do. when he says something like i'm going to talk to mr. putin about some things, these are some major issues that the europeans see extremely threatening, as well as our election concerns which recently cyber experts said continue to be ongoing and could affect significantly the 2018 election. yes, all of these things are very concerning. >> yeah. in fact, director of national intel, dan coates, told the senate in february propaganda, social media, false person as are still a threat from russia. with all of that said, what is at stake for the president, for the u.s., if the president does no

he is off to see mr putin. —— worrying. putin. —— worrying. vladimir putin just has to sit back and watch things develop. i am an informed observer in this. he believes america is being ripped off. he has had a go at angela merkel for not doing enough. it is ha rd to merkel for not doing enough. it is hard to know if he is just saying whatever comes to mind and seeing whatever comes to mind and seeing what sticks or if he means it. if he does, it is worrying. we will not go to andy murray on the times, we will go back to the front page of the telegraph, wearing the t—shirt saying "i will." it suggests to the allog raft bald saying "i will." it suggests to the allograft bald overcome the injury to play at wimbledon. —— the telegraph. i think you will. andy murray was included on the list, giving a hint that perhaps he knows his intentions better than we do. that sends a strong message. it made me laugh. if you recall, his wife was recorded using some expletives during a match a few years ago when he was not doing so well. sh

mr putin. how would you assess the ceo's ability to see and its potential to operate now that it's expanded and i would say as an all members and maybe some prospects of further expansion well speaking of the c.e.o. and its current format it's very effective that's. something i have no doubts about i understand what you mean by this africa c was this ability to operate. there are sometimes issues between countries neighboring countries that require it of communication between the leaders of these countries this is very basic and expected and this is why the as c.e.o. exists it's a platform to solve issues like that and just like i've said on many occasions the as c.e.o. was first created to solve some minor or big. border issues between china and third. and its neighbors. and all of these issues have been resolved that we have signed an agreement on. on the borders with china and there have been negotiations for shawty years before we finally signed this agreement and the c.e.o. was instrumenta

networks the interview was so animated at times that one point mr putin even had to switch to german to get a word in this is the written the biggest it's been used to move to motorscooter you're pretty. much going to dictate that it was going to the boom to deliberate it . didn't. seem as though. they can discuss this kind of things if it isn't the president it was a. yes it's just put them both home and say did you know. you're going. to. be excited by the facts if you deny knowing that you know. the truth and things are going to proceed well despite the start of that interview mr putin did manage to touch on important topics like the north korea crisis how to give a detailed reply to accusations of russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election in twenty six. we should because you just said that mr proposing is referred to as putin's chef and indeed that is his job he is a restaurant owner in st petersburg because but do you really think that a person who is in the restaurant business even if this person has some hacking opportunities and owns a private firm in this field coul

mr. putin says he hopes for a full restoration of res. president trump said thea meetg wasitive element. pres. trump: i have said gt from day onting on with russia and with china and everybody is a very good thing. it is good for the world, good mer us, good for everybody. we will probably bing sometime around my trip to europe. jane: to get more detls about what might be on the agenda, i was joined a short time ago by the director of the wilson center's kennan institute. what does each side want from this? >> i think the fact of the meeting has at this point become important in and of ite lf, but becae relationship is so attenuated. for the russian side, there is no question that a meeting at the summit level, a meetin which is not merely going to be on the sidelines of a multilateral gathering, is itself a signal that the isolation policy that was imposed against russiae obama administration some three and a half years ago is formallt comian end under the trump administration. that is definitely an important take-home for the russian si

mr putin in this year. has been a really interesting summit so far course with the g.seven going on in canada you have these people where you are in china shaking hands doing diplo speak signing contracts signing agreements and then know that over in canada at the g seven you have bickering infighting and divisions it's really quite a contrast in these two summits going on at the same time on either ends of the world i don't know holkins live in the u.s. you know in china thank you. it's been a year since the official launch of the operation to liberate the syrian city of rock from islamic state terrorists who had made it the capital of the self-proclaimed caliphate to coincide with the anniversary of the international released a new report on the situation in the devastated city actually accusing the u.s. led coalition of quote relentless air and artillery strikes suggesting it may have indeed committed war crimes and according to the coalition itself the real number of civilians killed in the battle for iraq will never be known. as far as how do we know how many civi

mr putin knows it. but do we care? and he said a resurgent russia was not the only threat.he said was the rise of militant islamism. and all this comes back to the tussle. through brexit, we are signalling a strong independent, instinct, where the traditional relationship with united states, membership with nato and our permanent membership of the security council. we just 2% of gdp, we're not putting our money where our mouth is. we're taking an enormous amount of risk and a lack of militant capabilities. a level of risk that history shows will come back sooner rather than later to bite back hard. but they government said nato transformed significantly in recent years and at game. thanks to the investment pledge, to spend 2% of gdp on defence and 20% of that on investment in you capabilities, we are reversing the long—term decline in defence spending, the three this consecutive years across europe and canada. our message is straightforward. we see what you're doing. we have responded and we are ready to do more unless you stop. but disagreement is not inevitable. choose an

provide that security for europe and maybe take that as a joke as a kind of chutzpah but i think mr putin has actually meant to do you think there is still any chance of europe recognizing russia not only as a major security threat by as a major security partner good russia is a major builder partner for peace and security in those other budgets in the old almost the always who i think you're russia if you want to live p.c. in the middle east and you need russia. to speak to a partner in the constructive part of the world pms see russia that way because we have a problem with ukraine specially with these some parts of ukraine that the creamy ok's this is this is a burning issue and i think it's we stroll through these problems gradually and step by step we could really come back to do over no one european house i know that you've used the bands in ukraine as these turning point in as a relationship between russia and. the european union and you referred to it as a major challenge to europe species and security is what our sins and be. helsinki final act was signed in one thousand seventy

channel now that interview to get so animated at times that at one point mr putin even had to switch to german just to get a word in. this debate in the biggest city of the union to. your first ticklish majority that he was going to the boom that they lived to do it it. didn't . seem to. see it in this because it's going to do things if it doesn't the president elect was used to it was a. yes you just put them before you can see that you know. you're going. to be excited but it's not something that i learned that muhammad you know. just. the thing to do it of a person despite the tone of that interview mr putin did manage to touch on important topics like the north korea crisis and he gave a detailed reply to accusations of russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election in twenty sixteen. pushes. and you just said that mr proposing is referred to as putin's chef and indeed that is his job he is a restaurant owner in st petersburg because but do you really think that a person who is in the restaurant business even if this person has some hacking opportunities and owns a private fi

speak their minds freely without fear of harassment or arrest ladies and gentleman there to general mr putin about. the most obvious question is why is this award so important there's so many journalists academics people in a civil society who are just telling the truth. telling their opinion and suddenly vanish they're in jail or even harder they get tortured or killed so i think we as dr bell a. noble geisha into to do something and we cannot get people out of prison. but we can highlight the situation of media around the world and i think when you look at the work we lose we in the last two years we are around the world and press freedom is in danger. not only in countries where you have dictatorships but also in democracies as we see around the world so i think it is quite good to have such an award this is why we're doing it. i've. got the end of december two thousand and seventeen iran so its biggest anti-government demonstrations in almost a decade the protests quickly spread to dozens of cities and towns across the country just days after the unrest erupted that gave an interview to

>> mr. putin has a game plan.plan is to try to bring down our democratic systems of government. not just in the united states, throughout europe. i authored a report in january that spelled out the use of the asymmetric arsenal to compromise democratic institutions in europe and the united states. sot coerns me is that president trump needs to be very clear of mr. putin. that we will not tolerate his interference in our government. to this date, president trump has yet to fully acknowledge mr. putin's involvement in the 2016 elections. >> and i also want to ask you about the president's tweet this morning. something i know you'll have a response to, this is about his immigration policy that he's enhanced under his administration. he says separating families at the border is the fault of bad legislation passed by the democrats, border security laws should be changed but the dems can't get their act together, started the wall. what do you think of that considering jeff sessions, his ag, emphasized using this policy

believing mr. putin on this when we know across the board from every intelligence agency and law enforcement agency that the russians melded in the election is hard to fathom. whether it's simply because the president thinks that playing into that undermines his ability to develop a better relationship with mr. putin or whether it undermines the credibility of the election that brought him into office or if there's something else going on, i don't know. i hope we'll find out. it also reinforces deep concerns among the allies that the president is going off first to a nato summit and then to the summit with mr. putin, and it's going to be a repeat of what we saw a couple of weeks ago when he went to the g7 and bashed our allies and went to the summit with kim jong-un and embraced a dictator. they're worried about a repeat of exactly that. >> what he tweeted, russia continues to say they had nothing to do with meddling in our election -- we went back, if we have the exchange, the clips of what the presiden

mr. trump is doing is very much consistent with what vladimir putin would like mr.rump to do, again, pulling back from allies and partners and having a much less robust u.s. global presence. even things like protectionism in terms of tariffs, i mean it really is making people question the united states is out for itself. it is no longer going to pursue what has been 75 years in the making, which the united states believes that by helping the world security and stability and helping all boats rise, it really is in u.s. national security interests. if we want to take a very myopic and parochial view, other countries are going to say that's really unfair. the u.s. is using its mue ining are going to disadvantage others. putin had bee >> last question. i'm sure you know men like mike pompeo and coates and john bolton. do you think it's that they haven't walked into the oval office and articulated that it's precisely what russia wants for america to be estranged from nato, to bexstranged from estra g7 countries. do you think there's a lack of willingness to tell him the

>> there is no doubt that mr. putin will take this summit as a positive.se it probably offers him one more opportunity to do what is his strategic interest, which is to try to split and nato and split the western countries apart, he will try to see if he can get some sort of agreement bilaterally with donald trump that could potentially see a weakening of the u.s. security commitment in nato to some of the eastern european countries. but ultimately, like kim jong-un of north korea, he will welcome this opportunity to share the global stage with the u.s. president. shery: thank you so much for that. up, how asia is preparing for more protectionist -- a more protectionist future. we have more on the cost of tariffs coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ david: this is bloomberg markets bounce of power. shares of amazon trading higher after they agreed to buy pill pack, jumping into the health care business that will give it immediately nationwide drug network. we saw the reaction in walgreens, which plunged in the dow. islor: i want to know what this deal for ama

mr putin says he regrets that ties with the west are "not in the best shape".t he called the internal political struggle in the united states. and of course, three months after the nerve agent attack in salisbury, the british government will be watching all this with interest. here was mr bolton a short time ago. i think the president is determined that despite the political noise in the united states, that direct communication between him and president putin was in the interests of the united states. in the interests of russia, and the interests of peace and security around the world. so there may be a certain element of criticism from some in the united states but i think the president believes he is acting in the best interests of our country despite that and that is why he wants to do this. and joining us now is former us defense secretary william cohen. who exactly benefits from this summit? i think clearly the russians benefit. president putin has been on the outside of the g8, he has been seen as having engaged in poisoning of individuals living in brita

>> they may, but i was very surprised at how fawning his attitude was toward mr. putin, that he would speak with suchai di toward our allies, toward senato, even of his own party, but, yet, he speaks, you know, so aost lovingly about mr. putin and was so reluctant to call him ou to include for the attempts to undermine our election you say you don't know. do you think it's appropriate for the former c.i.a. director to speculate? >> i think it was appropriate for me to answer the question and say i don't kn, which i said. i said they may have. i don't know.th >> do yok it's okay for you to speculate, given how much you know and given how peopled see you what you know, certainly what you have access to in the past? >> i think i've come to learn lot since my departure from the government in januaryin017, inclwhat's out in the press, and i am increasingly concngned about all the thi that the russians clearly did during the election that i was unaware of in terms of percina and media and other things. so i don't know what the ayssians might have on individuals whoave been as

i think mr. putinself to be untrustworthy and not a member that deserves to be back in the g7 to make the g 8 once again. what he did in literally the annexation that he was actively involved with clearly was wrong and russia has held accountable for that. >> why do you think the president wants to let them back in. >> i don't know. i honestly thought to begin with it might be because one way in which this president thrives is if there is chaos. where he can take all the building blocks and start over again. the only thing i can think of is that he clearly wanted to send a message that he is going to drive the discussion, drive the narrative. and part of it, everybody was talking about it, it gave him the opportunity to get his points across. and you could see in all of the different pictures that were issued a so forth the other folks weren't happy with the president. nonetheless, he didn't come there to make them happy. he came to represent a better trade deal for the united states. i don't understan

if trouble proceeds with the nato summit and a meeting with mr putin with the repeat of his performances at the g—7 weird for some real trouble because that means he will be alienating allies, chastising them for not paying their fair share according his terms of the nato defence budget and then he will walk into a meeting with putin and potentially give away concessions in return for who knows what but not likely a whole lot other than rhetoric. the nato chief said he welcomes the summit, the dialogue is good. and he is right but i'd be should support dialogue between the us and russia at all levels but let's talk about the context in which the summit is taking place. we have today ongoing cyber intrusion into our critical infrastructure network in the united states. we have russians holding 70 russian political prisoners hostage, some of them tortured. shelling civilians in ukraine. having a summit on this is counter—productive and sends a message that we have nothing to do anything to boost putin even if we do not take any action to curtail ongoing aggression against this. do not take

one day before mr putin you've provided a bit of something for those like myself who are even if the first time yeah we've written a small guide called the englishman in volgograd because usually on the only englishman in vogue. there's a few more yeah absolutely it's just the top five of everything around from my own perspective that's the stadium right there what do you think what is your tip for england taking place right there what's going to. three. zero so obviously with a to suppression building ahead of the match. for a new makes his predictions on the coming. kingdom by nature is a bit pessimistic they dealt above themselves i'm not very tall for them to have huge pressure on them back. at the same level in the with some of the best players in any little thing in the best league in the world but it seems good when these is going to create them some little problems but dividends talent and experience they have to in england. and way back in just. i can imagine well i don't know i wasn't there but i can imagine russia defending its national interests in a way that doesn't help
