i think even mr. putine well beyond what was seen as acceptable. >> do you think in any way he was made nervous by the mueller indictments, the degree about the sbes fisity of the gru, do we know more what they're up to than he had perhaps surmised? >> that's a good question. i think the department and the intelligence community did an excellent job not only in tracing the forensics but doing it in a manner that will not compromise or reveal collection capabilities. i think it sends a strong signal to russia and putin, you think you're good at cyber? we're better at cyber than you are. i wish trump would say, you try to rattle our cages and we're going to rattle your cages beyond what you thought we could do. we need to make it clear to mr. putin he cannot do this and get away with it. that's why dan coates and gina haspel and others need to be on top of their gain and speak trulgt trulgt truth to power. >> we asked jeh johnson to weigh in on the administration's policy to pull apart families at the souther

is again how do you judge today i'll let you judge roll vision from what we have we have not only mr putin and mr a certain syria we have a proxy war that started in summer twenty eleven with a number of stakeholders and russia is one of those about a very important one mr assad couldn't continue his mass murdering without mr put in perhaps iran is also necessary but we are now in europe and put in as a very important player so again how do you judge put in zero will in this infernal i see russia as a partner in syria and we have said that several times we have said it's not only me it's the european union that has stated that and during our last e.u. council meeting here in riana two weeks ago we said we have to take a pragmatic approach in terms of working together with you know there are other leaders in europe in the world also in europe are condemning mr bolton's role what is the position of the foreign minister. and that is not only my position we have to cost the various instances also inside the european union that we have to work with russia in saying suddenly you heard matic argu

moscow quite happy that he secured some sort of agreement if not of a verbal one lease with with mr putin over iran iranian positions in the south of syria and this is one of the issues which is really making israel very skittish at the moment is that with the war coming to an end and assad emerging as a victor it seems. increasingly significant likely that iran will build more village installations in syria so iran is really one of the key issues here which is that which is up to the core of the of the of the of the issue but the question still remains how much lower come this relationship last how much longer will mr putin in russia put up with this stranger a range from with israel where boy it's allowed to carry out these sorts of sorties and strike has full or uranium and even assad positions and still remains some sort of an hour in inverted commas with. no official comment from israel on the situation best far but surely israel could argue that it actually did notify russia that the strike was going to take place but the russian memo days those that this morning came just a minute

starting with mr putin and all the russian friends i would like to express my gratitude with my dear friend as he said just now we meet playing this year for the fourth time and you know already if needed we are. talking often over the phone. and our collaboration to fall on the basis of political. basis is strengthening and on the economic grounds we are achieving positive results and our economic. dealings are to new there's an increase of thirty one percent compared to last year and this year there is an increase of thirty three percent in the bases as. there is a nuclear power station made together with mr putin and the turkish dollar gas is continuing in two thousand and nineteen in turkey and in russia. there will be our cultural and tourism activities and the private parish these are continuing as in last year old so this year the tourists from russia are on the first place we have reached a record and this year this number is more than six million. we are. having continuous expectations in this. and. the. collaborations here we are expecting am. very good results when yes the

on managed to buy some time but what we saw today is at this meeting is that these three leaders mr putin mr outline and mr rouhani still defiant very very much on this matter especially mr putin favors a harsh a strong military action again against all kinds of rebel groups inside it live including the groups that turkey is currently supporting against the assad regime so the joint declaration today had no real news the three leaders agreed to continue cooperating to try to resolve this crisis somehow but there was little more on this documents so we don't really know what will happen in the next hours in the next days what will happen next in egypt so if the worst does happen. with refugees what would that mean for. refugee. well aid or aid organizations here in turkey are reportedly already prepared preparing for this worst case both sides of the border the tech side and the syrian side so they're preparing for it missed out on emphasize again that they already reached their limits and what they can do but i believe that in this case this whole turkey deal would need to be renegotiated

here that i thought was interesting and glad i was talking about evidence and the public case that mr putin . succeeded in delivering the presidency to his admirers mr trump though it cannot be proved or disproved plausible case it cannot be proved or disproved look this is why did they write this article and this is the way that the legal system justice and the media should work if you're making an exact accusation you have to prove it we don't have to disprove something that you can't even attempt to prove. the problem is that it's not just in washington it's immoral and sometimes it's an outright lie let me let me quote just russians hijacked american citizens feelings about immigration and race feelings how can you have a feeling you know then also this is my favorite the us had bad democratic and russian forces in the so-called color revolutions. you know british is the they make this. equality between democratic and they had to rush if you are and they're russian then you are democratic what they forget to mention that the ukrainian regime which they were asked to install has banned t

case the russian leader says that moscow now knows for sure who the two men are here's what exactly mr putin said we finished we've seen the pictures we know who they are we found them. hopefully they will turn themselves in and tell everyone about themselves there's nothing special or criminal. are these civilians yes they are definitely civilians last week exactly six months after the attempted murder in salzburg british prosecutors named two suspects as russian nationals alexander and. they also pointed out that these days could have been fake another claim was that the two men were active members of russian intelligence now here's the evidence that london put forward it was basically a summary of the men's movements around the u.k. . so these comments by the russian president are no less groundbreaking compared to what we heard from london last week and now i guess once again it is their turn to say something. russia's u.n. envoy has clashed with his u.s. counterpart during a security council session on syria russia's insisting on the separation of terrorists from the rebels to resolve t

the will of the following the results of the talks between mr putin and you must go .

the times writes, there is a plausible case that mr. putinlivering the presidency to his admirer, mr. trump, though it cannot be proved or disproved. the report goes on, the russians carried out a landmark intervention that will be examined for decades to come. well-connected russians worked aggressively to recruit or influence people inside the trump campaign. russians are suspected russian agents, including oligarchs, diplomats, former military officers and shadowy intermediaries had dozens of contacts during the campaign with mr. trump's associates. here's the gut punch. a former cia station chief in moscow tells the times the russians aren't reckless and i don't see them going through with this effort without thinking they had a willing partner in the dance. joining us now, former u.s. ambassador to russia, michael mcfall. i read this this morning and thought of you. eager for your thoughts and reaction. >> well, it was a fantastic piece. i applaud mark and scott shane for doing it. you know, for me, to be honest, i read it and there was

. >> are you going to talk to mr. putin about tensions between russia. >> you said israel will have to pay now after having the embassy move. what do you mean? >> i said probably the biggest chip off the table. we have to make a fair deal on deals have to be good for both parties otherwise you don't have a deal. something will have to be done. israel got the first chip but it's a big one. >> the russians -- was syria? >> i haven't heard this. will make a determination. we'll find out. >> will the palestinians come back to the table? >> absolutely. 100%. we are paying them $550 million a year. now were paying them nothing a year. for years we were being abused by the leadership of the palestinians and giving them this money. now were not. that will start up again. i look forward to it. they use it for some purposes that are good and some that are not good and not acceptable. they're coming back to the table. >> will your planning food it to state solution? >> i like to state solutions. >> you just term a rights that's enough

certainly mr putin today did encourage the men to come forward.the media, which does raise the prospect of them appearing on kremlin controlled television. if these men are the same one scene insoles three, that will mean they have some very serious questions to answer. “— have some very serious questions to answer. —— in salisbury. if they are entirely innocent it begs questions about the real suspects. the fact that mr putin felt the need to speak at all suggests he may be feeling under some pressure. as for the actions of the kremlin, what we can expect to hear of more doubt and more confusion i'll be on top of the denial. —— piled on top. tests carried out in egypt on the british couple, who died while on holiday last month, suggest e.coli was a factor in both deaths. john and susan cooper from burnley were staying in the red sea resort of hurghada when they fell seriously ill. the couple's daughter, who was on holiday with her parents, disputes the findings. our correspondent, sarah campbell, reports. john cooper collapsed and died in his hot

mr putin denies the two men accused of trying to murder sergei skripal worked for him.t isn't buying it. also on the programme...

what's been decided steph thanks very much chalons joins us live as well from moscow story as far as mr putin concerned i mean explicitly and publicly is the line that these discussions today look we want to see nothing else nothing short of a military victory for bashar al assad and that means you take it live. well basically you know the russian position as it has always been is that damascus president assad is the legitimate government of syria and therefore the people who are moving against him will have moved against him over the past seven years of this conflict are essentially terrorists or little better than terrorists there was not much credence given in moscow at the beginning of this conflict to the idea that some are moderate opposition groups and some are more hardline opposition groups basically russia has long considered them pretty much the same deal so yes russia's position is that damascus has to reassert control over as much of the country as it can it has a different perspective from damascus about how exactly that should be done so i think damascus has been more brutal mo

britain doesn't seem convinced by mr putin's denials.aid all they've got from moscow are lies. captured on camera, the two men accused of a nerve agent attack on the streets of salisbury. it is a week since british police released these pictures and named the suspects as russian intelligence agents — a week russia has spent denying that any of this is evidence. now vladimir putin has addressed the claims directly. on stage at an economic forum, he announced the men were no agents but civilians. translation: we know who they are. we found them. i hope they will appear and explain everything. this would be best for everyone. there is nothing special here, nothing criminal, i assure you. the president's tone matches this. other officials have been busy mocking the british case as absurd — a soap opera — even claiming cctv footage was faked. british police say the names of the suspects are likely to be aliases, so it is possible, whoever russia has now found, it is not the men who travelled to salisbury at all. with these surprise comments,

which the sudanese government has already claimed but not in high numbers but here they are and mr putin says that there is a civilian skin or be used as a shield so this is russia's explanation unlike other level head on in italy that actually are to have the elements but as i say the problem here is that liveth is in a very peculiar situation you want to take out that others how you would go about it because whatever you do there will be civilian casualties will indeed speaking of these civilians what are their options do they have any way to ski. they have very few options really because turkey does not want any more refugees europe is not in any mood of letting any more refugees in their options are really just two options one is the sitting government opens a few corridors which could actually happen as the sense of progress is although in go up to areas which were only under the control of kurdish sessions but now some of these areas that are under the control of turkey they could go up there but this is it today we've seen at least eight people have died among these children one i

who convinced vladimir putin that a compromise is in fact the better solution he will have told mr putin that it will be turkey in the end too will have to deal with the humanitarian consequences of such a military assault that is something that missed out on has been talking about a lot in the past days that he fears a humanitarian disaster a bloodbath and another large scale refugee influx and this would have consequences for europe as well but many questions about this deal remain open remain unanswered and it's of course a different thing what you come up with on the or at the negotiating table and how everything at the end plays out on the ground in emily do we know will president putin will he be able to enforce this agreement well that depends on all the sides in the conflict of course and the syrian side has yet to agree to this deal as the russian defense minister said after the press conference today but russia has a huge influence on the syrian government they have been. the syrian government's main backer throughout this war and they also really change facts on the ground whe

he will have told mr. putin that it will be t turkey in the end o will have to deaeal with the humanitarian consequences of a military assault. thatat is something thatr. erdog an has been talking about over ththe past few days. he fears a b bloodbath. he fears this would have confident -- conququences for eurorope as well.. many questions remain unanswered. it is a didifferent thing whwheu come up with this at the negotiating table and how everything else pulls -- ends up on the ground. brent: will president putin be able to enforce this agreement? emily: that depends on all of the sides of the conflict. the syryrian side has yet to age to this deal. but russia has a huge influence on the syrian government. they have been there main backer throughout this war and they also changed things on the grground when the end of this wr in 2015 when they entered to back the regime. they will likely be the backers for them in the postwar. it is likely that syria will tell the line -- toe the line. brent: what does this me

say look you know we've got an outdated decrypted air force but perhaps is the time now to look to mr putin for some more military aid in maybe a few as soon russian jets in the sky and with with the syrian air force badges on the rear wing may well be what's needed but i think there's a certain amount of politicking going on which i think is which is which is rather dangerous at the moment i mean i think putin is probably going to use this now as a circuit to exercise a certain amount of leverage against his friend in inverted commas mr netanyahu because you know how long can this nomination should carry on whereby you have these sorties being carried out right and you know it's it's often been reported that a hundred eighteen iranian soldiers the last two were killed were not you know how long can the iranians and hezbollah and even the assad government you know continue to accept this completely illogical arrangement a strange relationship you know something's got to give somewhere ok i think that's what we meant is something has to give and i want to thank you martin jay for joining us

and his worst inclinations on russia for instance the president was reluctant to expel so many of mr putin's spies as punishment for the poisoning of a former russian spy in britain but his national security team knew better such actions had to be taken to hold moscow accountable this isn't the work of the so-called deep state it's the work of the steady state it may be cold comfort in this chaotic era but americans should know that there are adults in the room donald trump reacted fieri a sleigh lashing out of the newspaper calling the article gutless and while the president now apparently has reason to clear the ranks white house officials are denying any involvement. i come from a place where if you're not a position to execute the commanders and you have a singular option. in this to leave it's not my. feels it was irresponsible for new york times to print this anonymous piece these types of political attacks are beneath the secretary and the department's mission the article exposes deep divides with officials the media and bookmakers now speculating about who really did write it. there

i think ithink mr i think mr putin's choice of i think mr putin's choice of language was interestingd russia's official position. he didn't utter those words of condemnation of israel himself, but used careful language to describe what happened as an accident. it looks like a chain of accidental circumstances, an israeli jet did not shoot down a plane. for russia is real is a key ally in the middle middle east. they pride themselves on being able to maintain relationships with all key players in the region including iran and syria. russia has been politically backing president assad for some three years. it's a delicate act, i think what has happened now will put a strain on relations, particularly with israel. but also with syria, because despite the fact those allegations have come from the defence ministry, it's clear that it is silly that fired the shots that brought down the plane. there are questions read what is being said behind closed doors. doctrinal questions about what is being said behind closed doors. in reality, the questions are between russia and israel. russia isn't
