bipartisan or the past several months nordstrom 2 supporters have been active in trying to pin this policy and the congressional sanctions that you mentioned on president trump and that's make sense given his litany of poor foreign policy decisions with respect to germany and russia over the years but in fact this strong opposition began under the obama administration with high level statements by then vice president joe biden now or one of our 2 presidential candidates calling the pipeline a bad deal for europe and that's not all it was also opposed by a staunch trump opponent republican late senator john mccain and the reason that i want to say for so many in the u.s. that we've been concerned about this project of the kremlin is very clear nordstrom to what hurt both the economic as well as the strategic national security interests of ukraine it would undermine the european energy union concept that the european commission itself advanced to diversify energy imports from over dependence on russian natural gas since 2015 and of course the project provides a platform russian malign influe

that we've been concerned about this project of the kremlin is very clear nordstrom to what hurt both the economic as well as the strategic national security interests of ukraine it would undermine the european energy union concept that the european commission itself advanced to diversify energy imports from over dependence on russian natural gas since 2015 and of course the project provides a platform russian malign influence or teach it corruption and at least capture across the rest and these are really central security concerns of argument about everything we talk about yeah let me let me just interject there let me just ask you though i mean it seems like this project is about 30 years too late europe especially germany you know are moving forward with renewable energies i mean the need for natural gas is not what it was 10 years ago 20 years ago i mean is that is that in washington's equation here. absolutely the reason we're concerned about is are those national security concerns that i mentioned earlier if you look at the project and its technical design only 9900000000 cubic

. >> the main question is not, should we pursue the nordstrom two.he main question is, how should we tackle russia. in russia, there is an atmosphere crated by the government where people feel motivated to kill oppositions or people who are against the government. so if we need a response, this response must be unanimous from the european union so we need a european answer. also to show that we are closely aligned with the international role-based order, which was severely violated by this event in russia. >> stopping nordstrom to would not mean russia would have no income from exporting oil or gas. americans and europeans import billions of dollars from russia even though it has not been completed. i am in favor of the e.u. introducing a stank -- a sanction measure that punishes people for human rights violations. that would hurt the clique around putin. brent: the case of alexey navalny has parallels with that of another russian opposition figure who was poisoned two years ago. he says the use of the nerve agent tells us that navalny's poisoning go

brands, nordstroms.flat customer flow by volume, which just tells you that the bond investors themselves did not lose faith in retailers and actually were down in terms of buying and selling activities >> so i was going to say that following up on that comment, that implies there's some kind of a handicapping about the viability of these businesses if the debt markets and debt investors are getting in on the action what exactly can you glean, what is the likelihood that these brick and motor retail mortar rr come out on the better end of this 16 months from now? >> the story gets interesting when we get into june and we look at debt, mainly because the retailers came back to the corporate bond market. the l. brands offering made a five-year deal macy's issued a secure deal for $1.3 billion that was the market accepting retailers back in terms of taking those off their hands and investing them we're seeing a differentiation as to how investors are reacting to retailers bond investors have been net sellers

his issue of nordstrom there have been .eetings it is not inevitable. [indiscernible] people in congress asked. is not the same as when we were able to travel to talk in person. ream, itcomes to nord st has a legacy. it is an old pipeline. russian gas. that is from the 1980's when i was working at the foreign ministry. criticisms number of that were completely legitimate. timestrue there have been where russia has used gas , to weaponize gas exports. they have not done it with us but they have done it in the past with ukraine. ukraine has been more vulnerable. created toave been prevent further vulnerabilities. there have not been complaints facilitations which secured the gas out of ukraine. and then the adoption of the e.u. gas directive which makes sure russia cannot [indiscernible] anymore.n and there is european legislation. canddition to that, now you pump gas in any direction. we can pump it east, west, north, and south. that is what it refers to. i have always listened with great respect to the criticism voiced with regards to nord stream. there

up in the german regions involved in the nordstrom to gas pipeline project reject mounting calls to scrap it as locals in one port town threatened with u.s. sanctions over the energy link from russia strike it to find out. that they're trying to tell us what to do here it's really shameless the way the united states is trying to manipulate german loss and european interests so their own interests come out on top. donald trump lashes out at what he brands left wing propaganda in u.s. universities claiming courses looking at racial inequality or finding riots and mayhem on the streets of america i guess debate whether that's really. all critical for you to read the only thing that it does is it gives people of color an excuse to try to not try hard this idea of color blind. in the here it raises. good afternoon i'm kevin in this is out international law my world news h.q. here in moscow this weekend i'm here for the next hour with the latest headlines starting with this the u.k. is admitted that a 2nd coronavirus wave is now inevitable and appears to be hinting that maybe a 2nd national cou

when you are just just are not but sorry to interrupt but just on not exact point but nordstrom to you you've got some reaction increasingly happening today from the u.s. republican senator tom cotton he tweeted within the past hour halt the north stream to pipeline to hold the russians icons about no prob no investigation just do it does this seem a little opportunistic energy supplies that are brought into this it is 100 percent opportunistic. the u.s. plans to sell its own gas. as the real deal that's what they want to do they want to sell their own gas and this is not true to pipeline is going to stop that for for decades and this is going to have a hard time selling its more expensive less ecologically gas over to europe if this plan goes through and this is why we're talking about development and we have seen the same kind of stories during the the world cup where they try to sound every time a finger pointing their finger pointing russia same story since you were there syria and russia alliance for defeating isis every time it's. it was the same river and west asked her to cope

hear the word bipartisan or question because that's exactly what opposition to the kremlin back nordstrom to project has been since its announcement 2015 bipartisan or the past several months nordstrom 2 supporters have been active in trying to pin this policy and the congressional sanctions that you mentioned on president trump and that's make sense given his litany of poor foreign policy decisions with respect to germany and russia over the years but in fact this strong opposition began under the obama administration with high level statements by then vice president joe biden now or one of our 2 presidential candidates calling the pipeline a bad deal for europe and that's not all it was also opposed by a staunch trump opponent republican late senator john mccain and the reason that i want to say for so many in the u.s. that we've been concerned about this project of the kremlin is very clear north korean too would hurt both the economic as well as the strategic national security interests of ukraine it would undermine the european energy union concept that the european commission itself

nordstrom behind me, even high-end stores, are selling designer secondhand clothes, shoes, purses onlinel-mart that teamed up with an app called thread up. last night i was checking this out on wal-mart.com/thread up, you can get a calvin klein dress at $19.99 which, of course, is secondhand. macy's selling used clothing in 40 of their stores across the country. cost just announced this month that they're launching a secondhand app called resell. and ikea just announced they're going to be having their second secondhand furniture store opening up in sweden. and it's not just them, you've got the kardashians selling their designer hand me downs which is why we spoke to the ceo of a company called ledbury how the resale market can help the loss of in-store traffic. >> wal-mart and nordstrom and other major retailers are saying how to we engage more of our customers online because they're not walking into the store and be able to offer thousands of skus looking for resale items, there's a big opportunity there. >> reporter: market is worth $24 billion, and i'm sure you have a lot of gold in

to one on the issue of foreign investors and foreign investment in day let's turn to the issue of nordstrom this is the massive gas pipeline between russia and germany so far the chancellor is looking to separate than the valley issue from nord stream to growing political pressure on her to stop the project what do you believe she should do. on monday mrs merkel visited her constituency on the art of lou and she explained if you want to complete. north korea to the sum put truth is to get to truth because i think north korea is a backed against the european climate goes back to the bitter truth is they have all license and they need it is nonsense project but it is illegal crude act to stop illegal project where 8000000000 euros where in the vast if you took the on going and bathroom and a gret more than t. digit 1000000000 investment the question is writing off a compensation so it's not that easy right to start an eagle project without compensation so i think you can't chance my have to answer your question i think we should concentrate on real and tough measures against did those who are

you know i think european politicians including those in germany are so very mentally opposed to nordstrom to our all teary motives at play right now. and no this is the last chance to get this done 1st and secondly there is brought a message already of the politicians who want to sabotage the european economy to do the euro reset it is worth that and what so the very evil plan against the europe the middle than the honest working people in europe and even the most front man to do it there is. something going on which he says he knows from the u.s. to just get your thoughts finally on another aspect of s.p. use top diplomat you separate who has called for a nevada only sanctions regime similar to the magnitsky act by the us would such an approach at the moment when strong backing in europe do you think well i don't think so because by now all politicians should know that also didn't hurt russia or asia or germany and the powers in between so the big winners of all the sanctions are the russians and the americans because the russians are forced to build their own industry and the americans

american senators localities been playing a key role in supporting the pipe laying fleet involved in nordstrom to construction but the town's mayor and residents remain defiant in the face of u.s. pressure. give she told me that merican celso getting gas from russia and i don't find it very nice that they're trying to tell us what to do here. the project miss a lot for the town it is a big thing it created a lot of jobs for locals and the town became a little more significant thanks to it and i want to see very clearly that it's really seamless the way the united states is trying to manipulate german loss and european interests so they're all interests come out on top of those. parliament member martin those are believes the severing of economic ties with russia would prove hugely detrimental to waste in germany. it is a big problem and i think. it also looks on a line of the german government oh well and be. the existence of the people in east germany because any reader tries are stronger or russian and frankly is very productive and i think the central should listen listen more to that. i th

member of the says nothing's been received yet but the escalation being used to lobby against the nordstrom to project political analyst john laughlin asked why the 2 are being connected. it's immediately been joined with the north stream 2 gas pipeline project the germans who previously the german political class has previously supported the completion of the gas pipeline very strongly not least because germany doesn't have any other energy source and no major cracks are appearing in what was a consensus so the fact that the north stream to gas pipeline has been immediately put into the equation into what should be a private police investigation shows who would benefit the answer is the american exporters of liquid natural gas and all those in europe who are determined and have been for many years and decades to drive a wedge between europe and russia to the north stream to gas pipeline is not just a symbol although it's a very powerful one it is also a reality of bridging the divide between russia and europe and that is what the russian people in europe and in the united states do not wan

nordstrom too will pump rushing gas to germany and then on to other european countries via the baltic sea when completed it will stretch 1200 kilometers around 90 percent has already been built at this point if it will double the amount of gas falling from russia to germany construction began in 20000 but has been halted a number of times but the u.s. and some eastern european countries launching objections washington slapped sanctions on the project last year claiming it risks to european energy security the german port town of the us and its has found itself at the center of the storm it's been threatened with crippling sanctions by american senators look how they has been playing a key role in supporting the pipeline fleet involved in north stream to construction of the town's mayor and locals remain defiant. she told them who can sell so getting gas from russia and i did find it very nice that they're trying to tell us what to do here. the project missed a lot from the town it is a big thing it created a lot of jobs for locals and the town became a little more significant thanks t

you were touching on the nordstrom to pipeline project earlier and while we're speaking politicians in germany and the u.s. actually have a link to the north stream to pipeline project saying it should be scrapped due to the number poisoning how likely do you think that is of happening and are those calls going to gain strength or fade away. well. i was quite sure about a year ago that the pipeline project would be going to be finished that now and not that sure anymore because the pressure is rising and i see the alarming signal that also inside the german government not all the pressure becomes more concrete to stop this pipeline project and i'm really wondering why because it's clearly in the in the interest of germany interest in a sense of also earning money by just. selling this gas further on to other european countries by securing also the german over whole of the whole energy system because we want to close down all our atomic plants and all our cool plants and therefore we need to have a reliable energy source and the gas from russia or thought that union has proved to be saf

all this prime minister yeah well we say this reaction should leave 1st of the stoppage of work of nordstrom to with strengthens russian power not 60 n.e.p. is bad yes and 1018 but you. insert c.e.o. uniquely led me to choose the european way or not the germany way for that you need to lead and you don't feel like unity you need to let me complete that sentence because we had 24 european member states supporting a political the marsh and washington raising concerns about the american reaction which is threatening with extra territorial sanction our sovereign decision about our energies just for a 2nd sent about the european union would put in place a law sectioning american companies because that in effect me pick one example for example the the astonishing fact that nobody speaks about dizzee americans right now by oil from russia almost and the war you mean that we are buying gas from russia so you know we need to look at the facts against the 2nd part is german government at the top the chancellor and the foreign minister. have been engaged and are engaged to safeguard ukraine's core inte

clean anymore so how is germany going to keep the lights on going to keep the heat on in theory if nordstrom to doesn't happen what's the big plan than where they have no plan that's the problem they are they are plan less clueless that's exactly where the problem was from going to do about it well he wants to blackmail germany to take the elegy from the us out of a lot of the cars is that a viable prospect for now it is a catastrophe for the german economy because energy is the main cost for everything you do so if you increase. the cost for your most vital products you need then you have disadvantages in the whole economy the german economy will have no chance on competing in the. world economy and that's exactly what once you once america 1st rewards american business really briefly are is it just journey's going to say on this is you know is the rest of europe going to pitch in and try and twist merkel's are mere because there's a lot at stake that isn't just going to germany the rest of europe is going to benefit from it western europe where they would benefit of part of the polish or t

this prime minister well we say this reaction should leave their starts with a stoppage of work of nordstrom's here with strengthens russian power not 60 n.e.p. is that absent 1018 but you can insert so you uniquely lead me to choose the european way but not the germany way for that you need to lead and you don't feel like you know that you need to let me complete that sentence because we had 24 european member states supporting a political the march on washington raising concerns about the american reaction which is threatening with extra territorial section our sovereign decision about our interests. just for a 2nd cent about the european union would put in place a lot sanctioning american companies that's the definite pick one example for example the the asst done a shame factor not that he speaks about dizzy americans right now by oil from russia almost and the wall humans that we are buying gas from russia so you know we need to look at the factory and the 2nd part is. german government at the top the chancellor and the foreign minister have been engaged and are engaged to safeguard ukrai

was poisoned with a novacek like a nerve agent we'll go back to peter all over and talk about the nordstrom thing just a bit but let's hear this other side of it next because the script. pollution obviously was affected and it wouldn't take to the unfortunately she died and now we have a situation where. didn't in fact anyone else know what it was quite strange so that's what may be a different nerve agent than the one which i think the script. the general. understanding of the group which is. this. belongs is that it affects other people's work people around you and so on and they are in danger well but this is different this is one of the questions which must be resolved in the investigation to be investigated how is it possible that only one person apparently the ground meat was infected and not anybody else. plus the question is further mr cole is there let's go back to a peter all over in berlin peter big question marks no maybe about north stream too was germany going to do is going to listen to america or a war. well long before alexa in the valley took a long flight from siberia to

this prime minister yeah well we say this reaction should leave the 1st of the stoppage of work of nordstrom to what strengthens russian power not 6 you know n.e.p. is bad yes in 1018 but you can insert so you uniquely lead me to choose the european way but not the germany way for that you need to let out you don't feel like unity you need to let me complete that sentence because we had 24 european member states supporting a political the march on washington raising concerns about the american reaction which is threatening with extra territorial sanction our sovereign decision about our energies. just for a 2nd think about the european union would put in place a lot sanctioning american companies that's that witness that me pick one example for example the the astonishing fact that nobody speaks about dizzee americans right now by oil from russia almost and the wall humans that we are buying gas from russia so you know we need to look at the factory and the 2nd part is. german government at the top the chancellor and the foreign minister have been engaged and are engaged to safeguard ukraine

organization on this case senior politicians in germany are calling on the government to pull out of the nordstrom to project over the case now the gas pipeline connecting russia germany is due to be ready by the end of this year the had all of the german parliament's economic affairs and energy committee believes that abandoning it now would be a disaster. north stream 2 is not putin's project it involves a large number of european companies and is designed to ensure the security if europe's gas supply to question this project now is to shoot ourselves in the foot it is certainly not in the interests of germany or europe if there is a decision to end the project companies will be able to sue those who made the decision in this case the german government and of course it will affect gas prices it must be clearly understood that this is not a game the pressure coming from the us is already enough in my view so we are strongly resisting the american sanctions that have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline construction this is against international law and we don't accep

calls were mounting for germany to ditch the nordstrom to gas pipeline project in response to the case of a lex in the valley but claims it has evidence that the russian opposition figure was poisoned with another charge of nerve agent moscow those strongly denies it was involved i think it can investigate further with berlin's test results the heads of key german regions meantime have come to the defense of the energy project the pipeline is economically necessary force but it's also necessary that we stay together with the russian it's a project that plays a decisive role in the framework of our altered energy and climate policy and therefore we've come to the conclusion that we want to carry on with it and to those that advocate closer ties with russia. i say that the poisoning of alexei now vying with an advanced chemical agent is not a one off. stream 2 is a pipeline project to pump russian gash to germany and then on to european countries via the boat baltic sea when completed it will be 1200 kilometers in length it's around 90 percent. it will double the amount of gas flowing fr

sanctions by american senators who has been playing a key role in supporting the pipe length involved in nordstrom to the construction but the town's mayor and locals remain defiant. she told them there a concern also getting gas from russia and i don't find it very nice that they're trying to tell us what to do here the project for the town it is a big thing it created a lot of jobs for locals and the town became a little more significant thanks to it and i want to see very clearly it's really seamless the way the united states is trying to many plea german long us and european interests so the insists come out on top. member martin those are believe scrapping the project would prove hugely detrimental to eastern germany. it is a big problem and i think. it was a lot from the line of the german government will be. played with the existence of people who are in east germany because anybody that tries are strong russia and these are friendly and very productive and i think the central should listen listen more to that. i think is the wrong way and especially for the people in east germany all those

should the russian gas to europe nordstrom to do you think the 2 are connected in any way. well the german government press briefing the lunchtime press briefing wrapped up on monday peppered with questions about north stream 2 i think just about every other question made reference to the multi national infrastructure project the message coming out of the german government is that as it stands at the moment north stream 2 is an economic project and its own connected to the no valley case starts as it stands however that could change depending on how things develop that's pretty much the same message we're getting coming out of moscow with dmitri peskov the kremlin spokesperson saying that well it was too soon to lump nord stream too in with the no vonnie only case at the moment now moscow had been not very happy at all with berlin for what it said was dragging its feet when it came to sharing data and information on alexina vonnie would now have confirmation from the german foreign minister that the process of getting that information that was requested over to russia has b

who do you think would be the main winners and the main losers if nordstrom 2 was abandoned at this stage. while in my assessment as somebody who belongs them out of the world of international law they lose the would be trust confidence in treatise and contracts paterson's of and it's a very old concept treaties have to be kept have to be preserved and desirable to consider as the biggest collection of sandwich who wants to call. contracts of such a wide euro was german companies if you can change everything and we know that there has been a desire of commercial decide by. producers of shale oil and shale gas to serve market with unconventional gas shale gas but the issue is that in the current price level circumstances so many shade producers are out of business we have seen a rising number of bankruptcy such as a pick energy among them in june so i'm just wondering who will really be in a position to deliver and to supply liquefied natural gas stemming from the wrecking business apart from the fact that it's costs much more than natural gas how do you see the situation with surrounding

you suspect that the nordstrom to pipeline project will end up being suspended at least for a certain amount of time apart from that what kind of a long term consequences could all this cause between the west and russia. well russia is an involuntary player in this or is being brought in to serve other purposes. i don't believe that relations with russia will become and seriously worse russia is simply a ball in play it is the point of this whole exercise not only poisoning was to give germany nato leverage over must ghost future behavior and its present behavior with regard to the un fully or the unfolding drama in their roots. and there you have an additional set of actors who have contributed to the present crisis and that by that i mean the baltic states and poland in particular which has its own designs its own intentions to bring billers into its for it so there are many job political issues surrounding the present vote in the case mr navaho he is just a ball in play. the kremlin is a ball in play while the other powers are busy solving their problems. by the un to the excuse of

also this hour making a stand german region spring to the defense of the more nordstrom to gas pipeline with russia despite calls to scrap the project and the fallout from the no ball in the case a local strike a defiant tone. i don't find it very nice that they're trying to tell us what to do it's really shameless do we need the united states is trying to many german long european interests so the interests come out on top. and donald trump lashes out at what he calls the left wing propaganda being taught in schools claiming it's fanning the flames of hate being seen on the streets we debate the issue. or idea of critical race theory the only thing that it does is it gives people of color an excuse to try to not try hard this idea of colorblind list in the here in greece is. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. british prime minister boris johnson claims a 2nd coded wave is now inevitable in the u.k. i could mean another national lockdown is on its way. i i was was a protest today in central london against any

all this prime minister yeah well we say this reaction should leave 1st so the stoppage of work of nordstrom to deal with strengthens russian power not 60 n.e.p. is that absent 1018 but you can insert so you uniquely let me choose the european way but not the germany way for that you need to lead and you don't feel like you know that you need to let me complete that sentence because we had 24 european member states supporting a political the march on washington raising concerns about the american reaction which is threatening with extraterritorial section our sovereign decision. about our energy supply just for the 2nd cent about the european union would put in place a law section in american companies just that bethany pick one example for example the z a stunner shing fact that nobody speaks about dizzee americans right now buying oil from russia almost and the war you mean that we're buying gas from russia so you know we need to look at the facts against the 2nd part of this german government at the top the chancellor and the from minister. have been engaged and are engaged to safeguard u

these 2 stories these 2 issues are being mixed together and how far could this escalate past the nordstrom to pipeline project your question i don't think it is fair because as you say we haven't yet established firmly what happened to not only if he was poisoned. then if it was it was certainly boys and then there were other explanations he was actually corruption campaign a lot of oligarchy may have wanted to take him out it could have been relegated elements of the f.s.b. it could even have been somebody from another intelligence services who wanted to blame to put blame on russia we don't know it of course it could have been. the russian authorities or so so there's a number of explanations and i think it's totally wrong at this stage certainly to be trying to link what happened to develop the 2 things like pipelines contracts etc that people who do that tells you what they're about that tells you their agenda because they didn't have an agenda they would be saying now look let's examine this further let's have. a lot more research done on this lot more investigation but it would not a

kremlin spokesperson had said previously that it was too soon to be lumping together in the end nordstrom to all the future of that project right now well earlier moscow had be none too happy with burley in accusing germany of dragging its feet when it came to handing over or sharing information that moscow requested relating to the case particular blue when it came to evidence that germany said it had that alexina valley had been poisoned with a nerve agent well the german foreign minister has now confirmed 'd that wheels are in motion and that information will be being sent over to moscow. who does some very sort of we've already agreed to russia's request food legal assistance i'm told the russian ambassador this when we had a conversation with him last week who taught. team that had there was a request for legal assistance who would agree to this there was no reason not to greeted. all news really seems to have initiated a change in tone from the kremlin we heard from a relatively upbeat dmitri peskov talking about the condition of alexei in the valley and the situation regarding info
