it's been the pro-russian separatists who are encouraged by russia, financed by russia, trained by russia, supplied by russia, and armed by russia, and the russian forces that have now moved into ukraine are not on a humanitarian or peace-keeping mission. they are rush combat forces with russian weapons in russian tanks. now these are the facts. they are provable. they're not subject to dispute. as a result of state-run propaganda many russians have been convinced that the actions taken by their government is strengthening russia, but reaching back to the days of the czars, trying to reclaim lands lost in the 19th century is surely not the way to secure russia's greatness in the 21st century. [ applause ] it only shows that unrestrained nationalism is the last refuge of those who cannot or will not deliver real progress and opportunity for their own people at home. let's also be clear where we stand, just as we refuse to accept smaller european nations being dominated by bigger neighbors in the last century, we reject any talk of spheres of influence today. [ applause ] and gist as we nev

some to russia, many inside ukraine. so while the fighting continues, those things are really very, very big burden, certainly for ukraine. one more thing i think that is really dangerous. no matter how this conflict will be resolved and whether it will be resolved very soon, the split that is rising in this area is quite dangerous thing that will have to be tackled by very, very sensitive politics and negotiation, mediation for many decades to come. the nationalism that is being played out now at which president obama referred to is a very dangerous phenomenon in european history. a lot of the language, a lot of the rhetoric, a lot of the nonacceptance of the other side in ukraine and in russia is growing very, very strongly as a result of this conflict. >> of course, it has to be remembered there are a large amount of people in ukraine that don't want to be part of the west. they want to join russia. >> well, we don't know how many because they think the whole thing needs to be decided through a democratic, you know, e

, financed by russia, trained by russia, supplied by russia, and armed by russia. russian forces that have now moved into ukraine are not on a humanitarian or peacekeeping mission. their russian combat forces with russian weapons in russian tanks. >> professor stephen cohen? >> here is the underlying problem. what obama just said implies, if not asserts, if it wasn't for russia, ukraine would be stable. that russia is destabilizing ukraine. person would believe that to be the case. ukraine is in the throes of four which is precipitated by last november in this february when elected president of ukraine was overthrown by a street mob and that set off a civil war. primarily between the west, kiev, and east. there's also censured ukraine here and there. became, as i said earlier this year, a proxy war between the united states and russia. it is absolutely true that russia has made the destabilization of ukraine worse. it is also absolutely true the united states has can treated to the destabilization of ukraine. but if tomorrow the u.s. were to go away and russia were

and the governor russia were quite accurately pointed out that this is an accomplishment in russia and ukraine and so i mean this is and in my opinion this is an attempt by the ukrainian government to choose to essentially russia recognized the combat as the the person the country that's responsible for the crisis obviously would be seeing very different pictures if this was a true war between ukraine and russia am i wrong. i think. it's obvious that it's not a war between ukraine and russia because if it were war between ukraine and russia would have been over to it how months ago i mean russia has a very powerful military always house and it would have crushed ukraine a long time ago so i mean this is not a war between the three and russia as far as i'm certain this is this is this is an attempt to destabilize russia internationally by the west right back of an equivocal scientist with us in the mountain i thank so much for your thanks for having us. well here's my care would in fact benefit from a cease fire just some official statistics for you twenty six hundred civilians have bee

security council meeting was called upon where its western members push to hold russia responsible russia stop this conflict at least two thousand two hundred twenty people including twenty three children have died in the conflict in eastern ukraine but we've never heard the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. call on key to stop bombing its own people in washington i'm going to check out our team. human rights watch. again called on kiev to provide information on russian fool who journalist. who's been missing in ukraine since the start of august kiev insists it has no information on bree's whereabouts the watchdogs deputy director for europe and central asia sees the rights of media workers are being violated in ukraine by both militia groups and the army and out at something authorities have a track record of detaining russian journalists. moving on washington is leading the charge against islamic state militants urging other western nations to form a coalition against the jihadists in syria and iraq the us is also stepped up her strikes against the group but the latest report suggests the ext

russia does the same with far fewer resources. we are advocating a way this could be done better that was less threatening to each side. >> i'm with usdi. my views and questions to not represent the department of defense. i was caught by a footnote. in a way this follows from the previous question. take a look at the question of the angle of political culture. it talks about the soviet view of instability and that the soviets believed that stability was best achieved through their own supremacy. contrast the american view -- your views may be a very enlightened way to look at the problem. your approach with taken the -- how would your approach take the way that you would like an russian political culture, particularly strategic culture, that the expectation would be that the russians feel secure because they have a decisive defensive capability. others might worry that with the background of the political culture they may feel emboldened in a way that may not be rational in some sense but might have some historical precedent. >> t

it mines that probably russia wants to create physical connection between russia and crimea so there are lots of risks lots of concerns also. >> i suppose from russia's point of view they're pushing forward into ukraine because they don't want ukraine to become a member of nato. they don't want ukraine to move as you have done to look west to europe. >> it is actually the main problem, main issue because russia clearly wants to establish duration union which basically means to collect as many as possible under direct moscow influence. we see this this regard moscow's actions not only ukraine but results of georgia and other countries. to stop the movement of country closer to west. >> given russian ambitions, how important is it nato today is talking about a rapid reaction force where more troops could be in countries like yours. >> it's clear the situation in europe has been changed. nato should be adequate in its response. it means that the security level for all nato member states should be the same and should not matter where geographically or hiss store cli. my part of europe is

the nato russia founding act has been violated by russia. we continue to support the , butn of that document it's substance has changed dramatically. i am confident that all of nato's actions are and will be conducted in accordance with its international commitments as an alliance. >> the circumstances clearly have changed. i think this will be a topic of discussion in wales. beyond the issue of that particular document, our top priority has been to make sure that there is no ambiguity when it comes to our article five commitments to our nato allies. as a consequence of the rotations that have been increased, the presence of u.s. troops in the course of those rotations and additional nato allies, we want to send a clear message to everyone that we take those commitments seriously and what is going to be clear during the course of this summit is that given the changed landscape , not only do we have to make sure that these rotations are effective and designed toward current threats, but nato has to look at its defense capabilities thatwhole a

for a bit to eat or something european brands from europe to russia and.there will be something empty here in the market i think the seeds have to space and we can launch our new bobs now despite the crushing qantas three taking a bit of a battering this year down some seven percent twenty three percent for july this what that sick unless that stuff that is still growing and that's the luxury while the russians they love it. shouldn't have it it looks written.

that's what russia has been up to. she's trying to deflect attention from that issue, and trying to pose and make russia the leader of an ain western alliance in the world -- anti-western alliance in the world, pushing back against western hodge enemy and -- hodge enemy. >> he said ukranian fell victim to the west arrogant policy, saying that the united states and european union supported a coup that ousted president viktor yanukovych in february. where is he going with this rhetoric, and what does that mean for the future of ukraine? >> it's nonsense. the coup against viktor yanukovych was a product of street protests and a massive uprising against him. president viktor yanukovych in ukraine was russia's client. he was thrown out of power, and what russia is trying to do now is assert domination over ukraine and ukranian foreign policy. the new president, petro porashenko, is already had to make major concessions on giving eastern parts of ukraine autonomy, giving russia influence. now russia is going further saying i

-russia nations. the event taking place in light of the ukraine conflict, including the announced cease-fire deal signed by ukraine and pro-russian rebels that the ice this morning. you heard president obama at the closing nato news conference kraineg about the russia-u.s conflict. our live coverage get underway in just a few moments on c-span. [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2014] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] >> good afternoon, everyone. a welcome to the elliott school of international affairs. we at the institute are delighted to be hosting this event this afternoon on the u.s.-russian nuclear relationship, in partnership with our friends at harvard university. today's panel is the rollout of a new working paper. which you should have been able to get a copy of is over on the table. we all know that over the last several months u.s.-russian ovations have been dominated by the -- relations have been dominated by the ukraine crisis. to crisis is not entire

kiev accusing russia of a stealth invasion. we examine how islamic state terrorists are exploiting black market trade and online p.r. to expand their journalist empire in iraq and in syria. are really police arrest the well known opposition activist as she lands in the gulf nation to check on her father who's been on hunger strike for almost a week protesting against his own detached. you're tuned into the week to wrap up of the top stories from the past seven days and right up to the moment developments as well my name's unit o'neill welcome. ten russian part of trippers returned home on sunday after spending almost a week detained in ukraine the group was captured when they claimed they mistakenly crossed the ukrainian border while on routine patrol pulis leader has been following the story. the talks were complicated and difficult but we can now confirm that all ten russian paratroopers crossed over into ukraine are back inside russia the negotiations were easy but thankfully common sense prevailed and the guards are back wi

troops on the ground, wouldn't have nato stations along russia's border which russia sees as aggression in itself. russia firmly is saying we don't want you to consider anything like that. we don't want permanent bases on our borders. lavrov, the prime minister has been warning that ukraine musn't craning nato. he feels the leader of ukraine would like to do that. a lot of tension between russia saying it's nato being aggressive coming into our area. and nato says we're trying to let ukraine determine it's own future. all of this tied up with the ceasefire talks between nato, ukraine and international monitors in the attempt to deescalate attempts swirling around the border. >> lots on the agenda. you'll be monitoring that for us. in the meantime, there from new port. we were hearing the i.s. islamic state on the agenda at wales at the summit. the british government are gathering evidence to be used against leaders of the islamic state if they're tried for war crimes. they're piecing together evidence of 400 members of the group. this came after the family of stephen sotloff's family ga

with russia. so perhaps to talk to speak about that topic, and others, of course, and now joined by john bannick of fdc. thank you very much for warning us. my question question, what are your clients telling you? are they reluctant to invest money with those tensions and the war in ukraine? >> i think it's a bit of a mixed picture. i think we saw a lot of faith during the spring that actually saw more and more interested. but it has gone down a bit more and everybody is hesitant of seeing how all this will develop. it's a little bit like a wet blanket at the moment. >> so what is your dominant scenario when it comes to economic recovery in the eurozone? is it stagnation? mild recovery? >> that's a different question. but i guess what we're all hoping for are signs of growth. what we see at the moment with extremely low interest rates, very well activity and changes at the same time. we see growth early. i guess a mild recession or a little bit of growth we still hope to see that. but it takes tim

russia will be a persistent challenge. is the long-range approach, given that putin continuously is testingeven right after the president of the united states of the united states lays down an article? >> it will remain a challenge. perhaps because of the summit, there are signs the cease-fire is holding. there are signs the russian troops in ukraine have been told that. there have been far fewer casualties from the ukrainian army than just a week ago. there are some signs of improvement. let us see from actions whether this is serious or just what we have seen before. we have to keep the pressure up on russia. hence the new sanctions, the very clear messaging from ads of government, about what is not acceptable. in the longer term, i think we have to keep up that pressure. we have to show there are costs and consequences to russia of this kind of unacceptable illegal behavior. in the medium-term, i believe we will have an effective strategy to reduce our dependence on russia for oil and gas, supplies for europe. we will h

>> what does russia want? >> what does russia want?> yes. >> they want a ukraine that is not a threat to them. that is what they want. the people who seized power in kiev in february are openly and vehemently anti-russian. they may have a good reason for that, but that view is not shared by the people in the east who don't necessarily want to be part of russia, but they also don't want the country which deprives them of free contact with russia. and this is, in essence, a family fight. that is something we have to understand, we outsiders. ukraine is a very complex country, which has been put together rather artificially, to be frank, and without any real consultation of the ukrainians as to where the borders were and so on. and to treat it as if it is some primordial unified state is simply incorrect. know, ukraine is basically a house which sits independence has been divided against itself. that is the basic problem. outsiders taking one side or the other, it doesn't help. it is inevitable russia is going to take a side because it is

coming up, eu leaders vow to hit russia with sanctions. will russia change course in ukraine? now reached aict point of no return? we will take a closer look. any market relevance here? we will find out. ♪ >> welcome back. you are watching "the pulse." let's get back to our top story. the eu vows to slam sanctions on moscow as the ukrainian president, difficult to read there, said that the conflict has reached the point of no return. russia on the brink of a full-scale war? we are already in a war, aren't we? this feels like a war, looks like a war. that is where we are now. >> by all accounts, it is a war. thatems that gradually, position that this is an internal rebellion has been updating. -- abating. increasingly, references to a state of war. the though everybody saw policy makers short of calling it an invasion because of the implications of escalating the sanctions against russia. but they do call it a military aggression. they call it incurred in. -- incursion. >> if you extrapolate and look at the outcomes, federalization looks like the most likely outcome, just a que

and european sanctions against russia come into effect. plus, life in a slum, taking to the water where 1 million residents in nigeria. u.s. secretary of state meeting with top officials in turkey to support plans to take on the islamic state group. john kerry has been holding court with the turkish foreign minister and the president in the capital of ankora. kerry signed on u.s. allies in a meeting in saudi arabia on thursday, but turkey refused to embrace the plan. john kerry secured support from ten arab countries, and they include egypt, jordan, lebanon and iraq. plus the gulf countries of kuwait, bahrain, saudi arabia, qasr. standing by in istanbul. turkey is a key u.s. ally, and why is kerry not having a very easy time in getting it onboard in this fight against isil? >> well, john kerry, he was there for longer than the 2 and a half hours. he was with the foreign minister, and he's just begun a meeting with the prime minister. so he's seeing all of the significant political leaders here in turkey. turkey is important of course becau

that they were planning to impose on russia, but more importantly than that, russia is afraid of military buildup on its borders, something the west and nato has threatened to do, and russia is, of course, afraid of the west arming the ukrainian armed forces and sending military equipment to the ukraine. there is also a lot of internal pressure because stories are emerging about russian soldiers who died fighting in ukraine and who were captured by the ukrainian army, and this is influencing the public opinion. a recent poll showed a sharp decline in the popularity of the military action in ukraine. >> external and internal pressure. thank you for the view from moscow. thanks. >> the crisis in the cease-fire in eastern ukraine dominated talks at nato's summit which wrapped up on friday. >> the alliance called the summit its most important since the end of the cold war. ironically, it's show of unity and military muscle were aimed at its cold war nemesis, russia. >> that's right. we have a wrapup of the summit from newport, wales. >> nato leaders gathered in the morning to watch a flyover

russia is not a party to this conflict, despite all the evidence in recent weeks, but russia is in some way involved and evidence of increasing russian military activity across the border. then, the word permanent seemed to disappear from the original statement of president poroshenko, on the presidential website. really, we're none the wiser about what all of this may mean for the situation on the ground. >> once again, we heard president obama repeating his accusation that russia is directly involved. this time doing it from estonia, right on russia's doorstep. >> that's right. i don't think there is anything that president obama said today in tallinn that would make president putin change his course. the russians heard all of this before. the united states has long been accusing moscow of sponsoring, funding, arming separatists rebels in eastern ukraine and of being involved militarily, directly in the conflict there, so i think nothing that was said today will actually make the kremlin change its policy. >> david stern in kiev. david, whatever was said definitively in that conversat

i look a lot at mother russia, mother russia, what does it mean? usually men who are there, at some point i came up with a joke, the russian president while vladimir putin was not the russian president, sort of warming up vladimir putin's kremlin seat from 2008 to 2012, incidentally, it is year 3. i will stop there. and so he was -- barack obama in 2009 decided he could be a good partner. what a mistake that was. the russian system precisely because there is always mother russia living somewhere as an example do we should aspire to, russia is very patriarchal. that is what is remarkable because older leaders are married to that state, mother russia so i wanted to see what the women are like. i wanted to show what their life was behind all this great man who we always see when we talk about mother russia. next to this great man when we talk about mother russia. my grandmother who i love and i was named after her, some of you remember her, she was visiting in 1959. this was almost the only access to a family portrait that americans ever got before go

and that's changed because russia didn't like that arrangement. russia has bullied its neighbors. we saw the invasion of georgia, and now we see the invasion of ukraine. we've seen lots of subversion and mischief making in the baltic states and very threatening language, so these countries are terrified of language. and as members of nato 2345i9o has to support them. if russia doesn't like that situation it should ask itself why did we go around terrifying our neighbors so that they demanded this extra protection? >> right. and what do you make of this isolation now that vladimir putin seems to be finding himself after so many years of warming ties with the west and, yes, the nato issue has always been an issue as it's crept toward russia's borders. but it seems like he's very well posed to let that goodwill and those warm relations erode. >> i wouldn't really say nato crept toward russia's borders. nato expanded because the countries next to russia wanted it to expand. nato didn't swallow anyone. but i think you're absolutely right, natalie, that mr. putin has started the process

and russia wants exxon, because they believe they can bring something which russia does not have or needs> exxon began drilling in russia's arctic just this august, a move hailed by president putin as a model of cooperation, but new sanctions are expected to clamp down and undermine those relationships, and that could halt billions of dollars in arctic oil exploration. >>> joining me now to talk about the effects of sanctions banning western companies from cooperating with russian companies in the arctic is one of the reporters who broke the news. she joins me from washington, d.c. thank you for your great reporting on this. let me understand this, these european sanctions are going forward regardless of -- of -- of what happens tomorrow. >> yes, that's right, ali. these are sanctions which the u.s. and the e.u. negotiated and already agreed upon before this ceasefire went into place, so the argument of the u.s. to the europeans and of course among some of the european leaders has been that russia needs to be punished for what it has already done. so these are going forward tomorrow. the

i mean, the nato-russia founding act has been violated by russia. we continue to support the vision of that document, but its substance has changed dramatically, and i'm confident that all of nato's actions are and will be conducted in accordance with its international commitment as an allian alliance. >> the circumstances clearly have change, and i think this will be a topic of discussion in wales. beyond the issue of that particular document, our top priority has been to make sure that there's no ambiguity when it comes to our article 5 commitments to our nato allies, and as a consequence of the rotations that have been increased, the presence of u.s. troops in the course of those rotations and additional nato allies, what we want to sen a clear message to everyone is that we take those commitments seriously. i think what's going to be clear during the course of this summit is that given the changed landscape, not only do we have to make sure that these rotations are effective and design towards current threats, but more broadly, nato has to look

i mean, the nato/russia founding act has been founded by russia.ue to support the vision of that document, but its substance has changed dramatically. and i am confident that all of nato actions are and will be conducted in accordance with its national commitment as an alliance. >> the circumstances clearly have changed. and i think this will be a topic of discussion in wales. beyond the issue of that particular document, our top priority has been to make sure that there's no ambiguity when it comes to our article 5 commitments to our nato allies. and as a consequence of the rotations that have been increased, the presence of u.s. troops in the course of those rotation and additional nato allies, what we want to send a clear message is that, we take those commitments seriously. and i think what's going to be clear, during the course of the summit is that given the changed landscape, not only do we have to make sure that these rotations are effective and designed towards current threats, but more broadly, nato has to look at its defense capabilities

, between nato and russia.ig issue. the other issue is just hours after the european union made that threat, we saw tax on two -- attacks on two coast guard of ars just off the coast very important staging area for the ukrainian government's offensive against the city of donetsk. vesselsack on those definitely qualifies as an escalation. i think we are moving closer toward sanctions. this week is one where we are going to hear from the west responding to what is going on in ukraine. >> what is on the agenda this week? what can we expect? >> we have president obama in estonia on wednesday. that is the second time a u.s. president has visited estonia in the entire ready of estonia's history. just going there sends a message defended by will be the united states and nato should russia ever seek to launch an invasion into estonia. that will be very symbolic. course, we have the nato summit itself on thursday and friday. this is a massive summit. 28 heads of state. all the member states of nato gathering. it is a me

the leaders called on russia to step back from confrontation and take a path to peace. nato's secretary-general rasmussen and poroshenko held a press conference side by side. >> while talking about peace, russia has not made one single step to make peace possible. instead of deescalating the crisis, russia has only deepened it. >> every single head of state and head of the government stressed the importance of unity and solidarity in ukraine. with ukraine. nato should demonstrate today. >> earlier, poroshenko sat down with u.s. president obama, uk prime minister david cameron and three other european leaders. a white house official said the leaders condemned russia for its continued violation of ukraine's sovereignty. they agreed on the need for russia to face increased cost for its actions. >> nato leaders have offered ukraine $20 million in financial assistance, to strengthen the country's military. nato is also planning a joint military exercise in ukraine later this month. the tension between western powers and russia appears to be at the highest point since the end

particularly has russia its sights over russia as they say as they play russia pub locking regime change in syria because the removal of the secular parties government in syria is a key strategic aim of israel and it's no coincidence that if you look on the website the people attacking our t. on a regular basis the people who are attacking putin on a regular basis are all zionists and all of them are strong zionists so this is got to be discussed and i think there are unfortunately these neo cons the zionists are very small percentage of the population but there are about seventy percent of the commentary at in britain and america so you pick up yeah you hear i don't read the first thing you read is an anti putin diatribe then you hear an anti russian then you hear pro ukrainian and these people dominate i'm afraid dominate the media the neo con or fake left zionist views they're not the views of the majority of people and that's that it's going to act well that explains why millions of people are walking dead of these other channels ok go ahead carl in amsterdam jump in if you if i coul

russia, to correct u.s. defenses, if they should ever developed to a point where they are significant, might need to maintain a larger nuclear arsenal, both to compensate for their weaknesses in conventional weaponry and because they would have to counteract u.s. missile defenses which might cull some of those warheads. we could have different force structures. russia could have more weapons. it would not be alarming to the united states. in fact, each country should reduce to the level at which they feel secure and we do not meet international agreements to achieve this end. we do not need to have the arms control paradigm of negotiating to achieve new lower levels of parity. each country can achieve the equilibrium that suits them best. and those equilibria are almost certain to be different from one another. the threats two countries face are different. i say that -- or we say that this does not require treaties, and that is true. it can be done unilaterally, both missile defenses and forced the structuri

is not in a position to agree to a cease fire because russia was not a party to this conflict russia does not interfere with what is happening inside ukraine at the same time he did make the point that the two leaders when they spoke earlier via telephone pretty much agreed though on the steps that need to be taken for a permanent ceasefire to be reached at the initial statement from tears did state that president bush nkomo putin had spoken via telephone and that they were on the same page in terms of how a ceasefire should be negotiated there is still fighting here on the ground internet so that is why a lot of people here are suspicious about the statements coming out of kiev we know that the anti-government fighters are continuing with their offensive it is worth mentioning though that there was an attempt to earlier in the week with direct talks held between the representatives of the lugansk and in its republic and the authorities in kiev to try and get a breakthrough in talks the question still is whether in fact this is the breakthrough that everyone has been waiting for. ok

we're not going to go to war with russia. what else can we do? it's going to be there for russia to take anyway. >> we've made a commitment over the last 25 years with the union with ukraine, both in treaties. we signed a treaty in 1994 in budapest when ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, that we are not going to guarantee fully, but we are going to secure ukraine's independence. >> russia was part of that deal -- >> absolutely. they signed the treaty as well. >> and they've repudiated lock, stock and barrel. >> and ukraine's been a de facto ally of the u.s. for much of its independent history, and it deserves that support. >> what are the consequences, dan, of abandoning ukraine, as matt talks about? i mean, strategically as you look at the european map. >> well, i think the biggest consequence is that it will tell putin that he does not have to stop at ukraine. i mean, the president and the united states was in estonia earlier this week giving them his unqualified support. >> he said an attack on them is an attack on london, in new york. >> th

and russia on its doorstep. so they have agreed to delay full implementation of the deal until early 2016, and ukraine still gets privileged access to the eu market until then, but at the assistance of moscow, europeans won't get the same free access to the ukrainian market in return. petroishenko globed over that today. and he said they will be ready for competition with european markets. for the ukrainian economy, that's incredibly wishful thinking on his part. by putin, the ceasefire agreement, passed a law today, giving the eastern regions the self rule for the next three years, and that means that the rebels will be allowed to set up their own police forces and hold their own elections in december. so far reaction from the rebels is only luke warm, and they don't want self rule, but they want the right to bolt from ukraine, and in the meantime, there could continue to be of violations of the ten day ceasefire on the ground. for the latest from ukraine, we have this report from walker in the embattled city o

the company is not sure that exporting to russia is right for their type of business. russians don't look to india for the high end products. >> they still prefer to buy made in france or italy, rather than made in india. in that segment of the market. the government is encouraging export companies to give the russian market a try. >> russia has an appetite for huge imports. the c.e.o. of a government agency oversees india's exports. while the russian market may not be for everyone, he said companies should see it as a way of getting a foot in the door. >> sanctions will provide a temporary respite. you can get an entry was someone vacated the place. if you are in the market on a long-term basis, you have to be on the business of your strength. >> india's export to russia shrank by 6% to over $2 billion, a trend the indian government hopes to reverse. as the e.u. and the u.s. shut the doors on exports to russia, india hopes it could be a window to opportunity. >> the african union says it will have an emergency meeting next week, and will talk about a continent-wide st

that is russia. last time, russia was a partner in chicago. that is no longer the case.it is not clear what nato's responses going to be. there seems to be some consensus that the eastern flank needs to be bolstered. how and to what degree, the answer depends on whether you believe that russia should be still somehow -- that you should still try to find some kind of compromise with russia or whether you should take a much more tougher line against russia. >> thank you for that. reporting from wales at the nato summit. earlier today, the nato chief spoke about iraq. he said nato allies would consider any request from the iraqi government of assistance over the growing threat of the islamic state organization. they are the group behind the beheading of two u.s. journalists. the family of steven sotloff has now spoken publicly for the first time since his death. in a moving tribute to reporters , a family spokesperson said he was not a war junkie, he was just someone who wanted to give a voice to those who had none. >> here and for a tranquil life or he could enjoy miami go

russia. i have no idea what that means. a moving target of the headline. does the united states control nato? when the united states wakes up in the morning do they say, we are in charge here? >> there is no doubt who is the most important member of nato. we can -- contribute more than 70% of the military might behind it. but this is an alliance that has been in place for years and an important alliance. people of question whether it was really needed in this day in age. this last couple of weeks and months have proven to the obama administration the importance of nato. the baltic states also agree. >> a distinction here. the war in the east is not internal ukrainian conflict. that is a key distinction. >> is not. >> is not. >> russia instigated and continue the conflict is an added comment. >> which is why mr. putin would put out a chaotic statement -- that they arement not involved. is nato not doing enough globally? do you speak with in -- people in and around washington? what is the suppo

not just russia but china and other countries. russia, to counteract u.s.se es might need to mainta a larger nuclear arsenal because they would have to counteract u.s. missile defense edefenses. russia could have more weapons. it would the not be alarming to the united states. if fact, each country should reduce to the level at which they feel secure. we do not need international agreements to achieve this. we don't need the arms control paradigm. each country can achieve the equilibrium. now i say that -- we say that this does not require treaties. that's true. it could be done un lotteriry. just as the united states about gated the abm treaty, russia may need to qualify its treaty vfcmó obligations, for example, with intermediate nuclear forces to deal with threats like chi"xdch. we should acknowledge that what we need to do to provide for a secure russia doesn't hurt our interests. we should accept that. so the long and unlikely to be successful noel successful negotiation that treaty negotiations entail is not likely to be necessary and we should dispen

the western kiev accused russia of directly helping separatist nato beliefs at least 1,000 russia troops are in country while another 20,000 are on the border. mothers estimate up to,000 russian troops. up to last week, ukraine was close to defeating the troops. >> direct and open aggression has been launched against ukraine from a neighboring state. this has changed the situation in the zone of conflict in a radical way. >> the e.u. and u.s. have slapped sanctions on russia, apparently to little effect. brussels says russia has until next week to reverse course or face a new round of sanctions. >> david cameron unveiled plans today to broaden u.k. anti-terror lawyers. they are aimed at preventing attacks by militants returning from trouble spots in the meester -- middle east blocking others suspected of fighting along jihadists from returning to the country. around 500 britt ains are suspected to have gone to syria to fight. they call it the biggest security threat of modern times. >> we will introduce specific and targeted legislation to filth gap with providing police with a temporary

talking about escalating sanctions against russia and threats to russia in recent weeks and months we've got reaction coming in it's obviously a breaking story here an international a president obama says that it's too early to comment on the ceasefire what do you make of that reaction and what do you think the reaction the wider reaction will be . in a disconnect here between kiev on the west for so almost a portion called seem to be an actor the proxy of the west in terms of their avoid the geo political objectives but it seems that this initiative this court the west by surprise. i think obama will have to teach talk he's gone off on his plate and her husband in the middle east and this is why it's so important for the west and russia to be on good terms with the increase in for a horse by islamic extremism in the middle east russia and the west how common interests i'm sort of disaster in this crisis was to deepen if the likes of mr rose muse and senator john mccain and catherine ashton of the u.k. and victoria nuland of the state department or t.v. the people who are to direct the p
