acquired these works everyone thought that iran was a third world country and not worthy of art or rouhani the battery iran or if it makes iran iran. you know so now that. even forty years ago iran was already seeking acceptance on an international level and looking to free itself from western influences. tonne of all these guiding principle is an artist doesn't have to adhere to western ways of seeing in order to be an artist. and artists should not seek acceptance from outside himself neither from orient nor occident. the date of the berlin opening was approaching increasing media interest fueled criticism of the cultural exchange with the islamic republic from various quarters . one accusation was that germany would be giving iran money through the prussians cultural heritage foundation. was on the scene that the world's major museums pay low eighty's when loan fiends are expected then we say ok sorry we're out of that was clear to us from the outset and we quickly made it clear to our iranian colleagues that this is not about loan fees but about a serious calculation of an exhibition o

holding a summit in istanbul but we have to remember the last time these three leaders met putin rouhani and erdogan it was in the what they were talking about then was a post war syria post conflict. they were even suggesting a peace conference which was held eventually in sochi but but that peace the peace that they're promoting or championing is not being accepted by the opposition and no longer on the table political transition for example is no longer on the table what is on the table is just rewriting the constitution but keeping the government in place this is of course is it's not accepted by the opposition it's not just that this loose alliance these three countries yes they have common interests and they have been cooperating at least that's the picture we are getting but at the same time they have all made it clear that they have differences and that they have different interests so the situation is quite complicated after the time being you know and people are worried that following eastern we're going to see a stepped up campaign in the rebel held areas of and possibly in th

the table all of the other bad activity like what we did with president obama's negotiations with rouhanin iran. it's you a didn't country. we have a different american president. we are not apologizing for america's greatness. and we are not giving into the demand of kim jong-un. we are willing to hear him out and hear what he's willing to do to set his country object a better path. and we are giving up nothing in the process. potentially it's multi generationally historic. eric: we'll see what happens. thank you. arthel: a veteran washington lawyer reportedly spot at the white house last week as robert mulier's russia investigation continues with no end in sight. does the trump administration see trouble ahead? >> there is zero evidence after a year of investigation that we have seen of russian collusion between russia and the trump campaign. the investigation is a hoax to a witch hunt and they won't find any evidence of collusion. i'm your phone, stuck down here between your seat and your console, playing a little hide-n-seek. cold... warmer... warmer... ah boiling. jackpot. and if you

house intel committee member tom rouhani told fox news today that the russia investigation has become a dead end after testimony by white house aide hope hicks. well that's what president trump has been insisting with no evidence of collusion having been emerged. and now there are new charges from devin nunes that the fbi may have violated federal law in seeking that fisa warrant for carter page. and, there may be more indictments coming from the mueller team of more russians. this to my knowledge for the hacking. to get into it all, let's bring in former deputy independent council saul wisenburg, san francisco attorney and rnc committee woman from california harmeet dhillon and washington attorney and chair of the d.c. democratic party scott bold den. great to see all of you. we have a lot of news to get through tonight. tom reason j o rooney, i don't e has given one interview about the probe yet. he said today on the house intel side, he said this thing should wrap up from what he has seen behind closed doors, there is no collusion. they have seen no evidence of that. and he said, y

rouhani was there, along with a number of islamic religious leaders.ation was about how do we stop terrorism? and i wanted to get a feel whether or not -- and farrakhan happened to be there. it wasn't a meeting with farrakhan. it was a meeting with islamic leaders, american leaders from around the united states of america. that's what the meeting was. >> you know that people have noted louis farrakhan recently said things recently anti-semitic. he's got a long history of saying such things. do you unambiguously denounce those statements? >> yes. as you know, i put out a statement that farrakhan's remarks are upsetting and unacceptable to me. i made that statement. i also make the statement that i hope that "the daily caller" and others -- they were silent when those in charlottesville made statements about blacks and jews, and they did not come out strong and talk about denouncement of that or president trump when he said there was good people on both sides. so here again is "the daily caller," and i hope they're not trying to put a divide between the

rouhani, putin, and arduan? the u.s. was not there, nor were our european allies. the u.s. is failing our own interests by ceding leadership in syria to iran and russia, whose national security interests often directly contradict our own. and what do these bullying regimes want from syria? let's start with iran. iran sees syria as an investment in its political infrastructure and its campaign for a regional hegemony. it is their, quote, land bridge, unquote, from tehran to beirut, a weapons pipeline, a training camp for hezbollah. it is a practice ground for a future war with israel. what about the russians? the russian government, led by mr. putin, has made clear that they believe all syrian territory must return to the assad regime and to the assad regime's control before political reforms can be considered. piewpt seeks a solution that shows that he is the arbiter of events -- putin seeks a solution that shows that he is the arbiter of events in the middle east. lately, foreign leaders, including prime minister netanyahu of israel, president rouhani, and king salman of s
