russia vetoed it. russia has said that is premature, and that it is counter productive. russia has been critical of the investigation saying that it has not been transparent that it has not upheld international standards, and we heard the malaysian transport minister making a case against the russian government saying that in fact, it had complied, and the u.n. had come out on the side of this investigation saying that it was complying with international standards. that in order to find justice for the victims it would be necessary now to begin the process of setting up this tribunal. a tribunal with powers to subpoena and to to be tried in an international forum. but it has just been voted down by russia. >> lots of foreign ministers came to the u.n. for this vote. does that tell us for them this was pretty significant even though of course russia did what it promised to do and veto. >> i think this is a sign of how important this vote was for these countries. you have the foreign minister of the netherlands australia ukraine sent their foreign ministers these are count

of course that was not vetoed at all by russia. this one clearly much different because of geopolitical and other reasons and this one clearly was vetoed by russia. a lot of people are disappointed in the united nations but we should point out there were four countries that abstained china venezuela, angola and nigeria all abstained as well. where do we go from here? likely the u.n. security call council will not take this up issue again. it's been 20 years. they were trying to reach some sort of negotiations. we saw diplomats at the last moment trying to hammer out an agreement, but it did not happen. this issue at the security council is probably over. >> thank you very much. now, there are signs that an agreement between yemen's government and houthi rebels could be close are up to three months of conflict. the government now based in saudi arabia has told the united nations that it has agreed to a continual truce. it would be based that houthi rubles rebels withdraw from areas. >>> the pope gets political as thousands brave the

the three day peace mark russia exercises it's veto. what reason did russia give for this?> well, first of all russia has very close political and economic ties so there is that right off the top. there is very much an alliance between two. but russia came out and said essentially they felt that this resolution was unnecessary and it unnecessarily pointed too much blame in one direction. and while said that they have solidarity with the victims of this master, this resolution was not the proper time or place or the proper wording. let's listen to what the russian ambassador had to say. >> the draft summited by the united kingdom turned out to be politically motivate: it contained disfor tags distortions, and it can result in greater division in the bosnian society. >> now a diplomat who sponsored this draft resolution said that in his words it was not the resolution that caused the divisions. it was the russian veto. now from the u.s. ambassador samantha power. this issue was very personal for her. she was a journal young journalist at the time and witnessed it if. >> today

consequenceman we heard general dunford saying this week that russia quote, presents russia presentse greatest threat to our national security. do you agree with that assessment? >> if you look at what he's saying the reason that russia presents a threat is because of the russia's cooperation with iran. i would take that one step further. i would say iran right now presents long term the greatest threat. russia is insisting iran but if you listen to the ayatollah he says several things. every military man should figure out how to help produce icbms, blis ig missiles that can reach the united states. he speak toss that issue, and they he leads people in a chant of death to america and death to israel. this assistance that so far we've seen russia give to iran has helped iran in its offensive capabilities and this is or concern in terms of our national security interests. >> what should the u.s. do? >> for one thing, i think in these negotiation, we have to make absolutely certain that inspectors have the right to go anywhere any time in iran to look at the nuclear program, including o

in our scenario, we think russia makes difficult decisions. russia as a country.an leadership. but you cannot even start to compare life here before 2000 and after. you cannot even start. you have to be very honest and say this and this and this. this we could do better. which president of which country says everything works? whatever was there, we just need to do it better. this fairytale does not exist. there are mistakes made by many presidents and prime ministers. many many, even many collectively. i think europe is a beautiful continent, but there are many mistakes made. i think they are totally -- in china, i'm sure, china has its own questions, but -- look. i'm not a political observer. politics and music come together when, if, the country is facing a war and someone like shostakovich writes a symphony and the symphony, most probably reflects this huge tragedy and drama of the world. a lot of people spent time saying he is a good composer but he is very political because he writes about hitler, about stalin. i have said do not look at shostakovich in relat

and how is this perceived in russia? what is russia doing? and what can be done? thank you. >> translator: i don't know if they publically announced this number or confuse the public and unpublic numbers. public number was 1,866 people officially declared by the chief of the federal service of security, fsb. i hope i did not -- this is the registered by our fsb, russian citizens who became numbers of isis who fight on this isis side. out of them half converted. not born, but russians who converted to radical islam and went left to fight there. if you check the security council meeting in the northern -- devoted to this issue, as far as i know, the president gets word of the people who come back from syria back to russia. they all are under control. and this threat is very serious. if you paid attention recently the assistant of the -- the president, he was made large interview, he devoted three quarters of the interview to isis. ukraine is mostly pr. the ukrainian events is the information noise, white noise. but the fact that they are security council follows, mo

because russia and u.s. disagree about virtually everything in that region. >> that is not entirely clear. i do believe that iran constitutes a natural partner for russia given the current geopolitical circumstances. given their interests are mostly aligned in the middle east, they both support bashar al-assad, and significant hostility towards gulf states, i think a newly empowered iran able to exert greater influence in the middle east could be a support for russia. >> does that put pressure on the u.s. to improve relations with iran? >> absolutely. i've said in my report that russia is poised to emerge as a key beneficiary unless the u.s. is able to move beyond the nuclear accord that's been formed to transform its relationship with iran, to improve its trade relationship, to invest heavily to generate student exchanges, like used to happen frequently back in the '70s. and also to act as an honest broker to help mitigate some of the areas between iran and some of the middle eastern partners. >> as some ha

could see what happened afterwards, western power didn't want to believe that russia -- that russia was invited to g 8. russia didn't belong there and was in a democracy and industrial power. boris yeltsin was invited to stay there and there were many events, is about russia like famous germany. when you look at what happened in the 90s, nothing to compare in germany, the affiliation jury in eastern europe, they were paying for that. the whole idea they played it wrong by provoking national sentiment, these arguments that hold water, at the same time eastern european nations are privy to -- pretty strong memory, genetic memory of that. they wanted nato protection and the notion that has been promoted that it was a mistake, basically denies the right for self expression. people of estonia and lithuania wanted to be protected, there were free nations, nato has the extent for an umbrella and again, the only thing that stopped vladimir putin from attacking. >> host: in just as well don't you have to plan several moves ahead? what is next? >> guest: excellent point about strategy. 1992 g

it was fifa that awarded that to russia and russia doesn't want to do anything that will rock the boat and jeopardize that event. because vladimir putin eventually sees these kinds of big ticket sporting events like the world cup like the winter olympics as a way to boost russia's prestige on the world stage. we heard from sepp blatter say that he fully endorses russia's ability and the reason for russia hosting the world cup. vladimir putin after that meeting between sepp blatter said that he appreciated sepp blatter's concentration on sporting matters when there is so much going on, as he put it, outside of football. and of course what he meant there was the ukraine crisis, the stand off between the east and west going on at the moment. he sees sepp blatter as a key international ally in russia's relationship with the rest of the world. and when sepp blatter was talking about it, his endorsement of russia as a host, what he was essentially referring to there was the twin investigations into whatever corruptions there might be in the awarding of the 2018 world cup and 2022 world cup i

in russia we have a nuclear power. we have one that not only has the capability to violate the sovereignty and to do things inconsistent with our national interests but they're in the process of doing so. so if you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the united states i'd have to point to russia. if you look at their behavior it's nothing short of alarming. >> i think you'd be the first to admit that reflects his own view and doesn't necessarily reflect the view or the consensus analysis of the present national security team. >> the general was then asked to list the threats, rank them. here's what he said. russia was number one, china number two, north korea number three, and isis number four. that's where we'll start with our panel. syndicated columnist george will. julie pace white house correspondent for the associated press and jason riley, columnist with the "wall street journal." george. >> it is to say no more dischord ant to simultaneously say the army is going to be substantia

he talks about the ukraine/russia conflict, press freedom in russia and the legacy of russia's president from the carnegie endowment for international peace this is an hour and 15 minutes. >> very generously a few words of introduction. he is a truly standout figure in russian media and political landscape. he is one of the most insightful commentators about what is going on in russia and internationally and based on his extended career the station is observing the 25th anniversary so we are in the middle of a jubilee period and looking forward. what is interesting is he was born in 1955 and spent about 20 years teaching. i think about where his students are today. it's a very different career path. in many ways i think people in the russian studies field were still his students. i start my day and drive to work every day and when i go home i listen and it creates a filter and a source of information. in this environment i will turn things over in terms of our discussion now. the filters are getting very confusing. i think we are in a period of incredible unpredictability and uncertainty

now, of course, russia under mr. putin's leadership, russia invaded neighbors, georgia in 2008 ukraine last year. we see now had a there's a russian official investigating the legality of the transfer of crimea back in the day saying this perhaps wasn't an invasion because crimea was never legally transferred to ukraine by the russian federation. it concerns me that this same official is now investigating whether the transfer of the baltic states, whether giving of independence to baltic states, lithuania, was that legal, perhaps that wasn't legal this russian official suggests and we can get to the issue this way. i want to ask you this about our nato commitment. i can envision a situation where there are small jurisdictions that have a majority of russian speakers. small jurisdictions within a estonia that have russian speakers and i realize i'm posing something to you that's hypothetical. in light of pronouncements from officials in the russian federation, i think it's something to be concerned about. earlier this

great russia which includes not only russia and chechnya ends in karachi and your crane -- ukraine is given strength. but in terms of electoral, putin will benefit from that. the nationalists will be kicked out and he's going to get is 7% 5%, 10%. he is quiet loyal to putin and the electorate as well. what happened was the soccer hooligans were members -- [inaudible] they came out and saved the north caucasian and now he's the minister of interior affairs. he also has an idea about how he is in the mass riot should be surprised with the organizers -- [inaudible] and i believe this is a smart policy. >> let's talk a moment or two about ukraine and then i very much welcome people from the audience to join us in the conversation. if you look at the situation today inside eastern ukraine there is a small part of fighting from a significant military buildup particularly on the russian side inside ukraine of a regrouping of ukrainian military units both government and semi-government. but we have not searched into an all-out war and there is a certain level of stability. is that a new norma
