interferes russia gets involved russia destroys russia it's called a whore style contrie and this report well this is a very aggressive move i cannot imagine all of parliament call in britain and the grace of or horse country well of course in the united states hostile country despite all their actions against us so you can see from this report who is really aggressive and then under the thumb see you in just a 2nd it's just a little treat to be here we are in no time nor do i get intimate from a legal point of view i want to get everything i want i will just 10 seconds ok just 10 seconds in this report this report calls to investigate every of on connected to putin and some call it suggest that any people connected to the kind of russian state even if they're involved in charity activities in the u.k. are somehow suspect you magine what would happen if the russian parliament areas or the russian press wrote that anyone connected to boris johnson should be suspect that's absolutely wrong from a legal point of view and to say that boris johnson or the conservative governments were pro rus

nothing changes inside russia. the political fate of russia will be decided on the streets, not through the ballot box. it won't be next month or next year, but it will certainly much cap are -- certainly happen much sooner than 2030 six. the international consequences are more important. by western attempts leaders to placate or appease putin and his regime, were morally dubious and fundamentally wrong. now, they become illegitimate as well, they become akin to dealing with a usurper. this needs to be publicly made clear by the leaders of western democracies. i put together some of the initial reaction that came from western democracies to this electoral exercise. very strong words from the chairman of the u.s. senate foreign relations committee. vote has swept away all reference of putin's legitimacy. from the osce, they said, the outcome of this vote was decided long before the ballots were tallied. to know it impossible the true will of the russian people. michael, you are never short of opinions. i give you an

become a target of russia? why did they become a target of russia? and what are you generally seeing both with regard to influence activities in the u.k. as well as the u.k.'s experience watching influence activities overseas? thank you, ambassador pierce. great. thank you very much, heather. thank you, rachel, and thank you for inviting me to join the study interesting discussion. i think the first thing to say is that u.k. and russian action of a very long history. we've had very good relations. one goes back over 300 years, peter the great, and that was a stage of the relationship, that for those times, was very productive. we admire the russian people, and we recognize the enormous sacrifices that the russian people made in the second world war. and we appreciate the fact that that second world war was won with soviet assistance and the soviet union was an ally at that time. we have always made it clear that we want a productive, loadbearing relationship with the russian government, including the current russian government. and i went with boris

and how china views russia. i would just like to make the point that china has been waiting for many years for the u.s. to turn sites on it and be concerned about china's lives. i think at the beginning of the 21st century, china had expected actually because of its size and the u.s. had this position. in chinese college cold war thinking that the u.s. when in time come to focus on china as an external threat. and probably pleasantly surprised that in the period of the george w. bush and ministration, did not come to pass. the s became preoccupied with the counter terrorism efforts in the global crisis. they see this as part of a structural inevitability. george w. bush and obama would've liked to have pork with china more on various international issues with china was already at that point to invest in global public goods. it was focused on developing a its economy. the technet strategic opportunity. they coined the term peaceful rise to make people think that it was not interested in being externally aggressiv

russia says we're both trying to play with pretty much the lection. the intelligence community believes that close either just an agency of the russian the retard the russian intelligence agencies have been talking to cyber attacks against efforts to find the facts to search that the question of ours is even here the statement is saying fake and contradictory that it's practically impossible in time to stand in us more so that we're seeing the pharmaceutical companies and others being targeted because they have the information and. also coming up tonight the republicans campaigning against president donald trump they've declared war on his reelection hopes because the president they say is at war with sun. we're all in the same david clothing dr fat you have a very good relationship with dr fatty and we're all in the same team we want to get rid of this mess that china sent us so everybody's working at the same line it would doing very well we're doing well in a lot of ways there are countries coming back very strong. thanks to our viewers on p.b.s. i

for russia eurasia.usan thorton is currently senior fellow at yale law school and former assistant secretary for east asia and pacific department of a state. all three have had deep experiences, practitioners and thought leaders in their field and i think they have a unique capacity to encroach russia, china and u.s. policy with just the right balance with altitude on one hand and granular on the other. they will speak for no more than five minutes and we will do a moderated round of conversation and then answer your questions. we will have a live q&a "after words" to ask a question, use the live chat feature in youtu youtube, e-mail us at press office at cie p .org or tweet us at carnegie and dowell using # carnegie connects. with that, evan, the virtual space is over to you. >> thank you. pleasure to be with you. ... february 1972 visit to beijing. that was a point in time when the u.s. and china were fighting a proxy war in vietnam, and china were still just crawling out of the mess history of the cul

-russia relations? is that in fact in a catastrophic situation right now, or do you feel that there are glimmers of optimism and relations between the two countries? >> thank you very much. thank you very much for your understanding and speaking about foreign-policy of the united states by the way as well as the russia situation. of course in washington to defend russian foreign-policy and at the same time to promote russian-american relations. there are some positive shoots. we see the identification at the highest level. in compliance with the president's arrangements our countries help each other with medical supplies in the covid pandemic. maybe you are aware that at the beginning of this meeting there was a decision by the russian federation to assist the united states to fight against this disease and recently the united states president has decided to send us 200 ventilators. we highly appreciate this gesture from the united states from the american president as well as the american people and by

it's clear that there's some politics around this and russia since russia is trying to be is trying to kind of show off some of this geo political might with this vaccine that it's rushing through testing on military soldiers testing on the you know the vaccines creators have been tested on themselves so russia taking a much more unorthodox kind of hasty approach with their vaccine and really trying to get out of the market 1st so of course they're taking this as an attack on that vaccine or this news report about the hacking but you know all that said i think that you know it's worthwhile remembering that cozy bear was the same hacking out that that was implicated in the d.n.c. hack in the 2016 election in the united states they've also been accused of trying to gain access to the no we know region defense ministry and political political parties there so this is certainly something that cozy bear could look very well be up to and trying to do and feel the crowbars that scene but of course the politics around me give the clinton reform room time quit and we heard from the u.k. governm

to really look to russia and china and to night and for they tend to look to russia and china the strategic allies let's begin with you mark oh no. i mean the we need partnerships with russia and china we need communication channels but still teaching allies no there is no commonality of values of interests there are longstanding issues. and there's no way can it be a replacement for the united states christine as you know you hold. i would echo way mark said if you look at this particular european commission for example it's under underlined he calls itself a geo political commission but we have see in the past few months is an insistence upon the importance of values and the importance of the democratic system for europe and for a further europe as a political bloc that is fundamentally incompatible with russia and china at the moment and where china had marked a ripple of relations with with the e.u. perhaps prior to the last year we have also seen a sharpening of language over and and no declaration of systemic rivalry over the different systems between democracy and tearing and anti-de

let me just about russia, russia used to be a thing called the soviet union. because of afghanistan, they went bankrupt. they became russia, just so you do understand, okay? the last thing russia wants to do is get to which involved with afghanistan. they tried that once, it didn't work out. >> jonathan? >> the phrase it didn't reach my desk, i actually didn't understand, it didn't compute. i'm not sure what else you need apart from your top military officer in afghanistan saying publicly this was happening. so i don't know, does that reach the desk? i was sort of flumoxed in that moment, i didn't know what to say. that was genuine surprise you see registered there. >> what do you hear? zb >> listen, there's every evidence that the president essentially lied to jonathan. cudos to jonathan for asking the hard questions. when he says this intel hasn't reached his desk, that it is fake news, that it is behind the bounty intelligence, he is lying to jonathan and to the american public. there's no legitimate reason for this president to continue to protect russia.

interferes russia gets involved russia destroys russia it's called a whore style contrie and this report well this is a very aggressive move i cannot imagine all of parliament call in britain and the grace of or horse country well of course in the united states hostile country despite all their actions against us so you can see from this report who israeli aggression and then under the thumb see you in just a 2nd it's just a little treat to be here we are in no time nor do i get intimate from a legal point of view i want to get to everyone i will i will just 10 seconds ok just 10 seconds in this report this report calls to investigate every of on connected to putin and some call it suggest that any people connected to the kind of russian state even if they're involved in charity activities in the u.k. are somehow suspect you imagine what would happen if the russian parliament areas or the russian press wrote that anyone connected to boris johnson should be suspect that's absolutely wrong from a legal point of view and to say that boris johnson or the conservative governments were pro rus

and russia and certainly no and literally between the u.k. people in the russian people law 18 months on people obviously waiting for this a lot maybe they would be disappointed no bombshell no smoking gun but barrett as many thanks for your insight your comment that was former but shah passages by us as fact on a human rights advocate craig laurie thanks. to ukraine now where a man has taken 20 people hostage on a bus in the center of the city of our correspondent don recorder has a little tell. well the police have the city center locked down and we just heard from ukraine step to the minister of internal affairs who says that a number of the residents living near the location of the hijacked bus were just give back you wait he also says that the police have entered into negotiations with the perpetrator for the hostages released now earlier we heard reports of explosions in that same area that was after the perpetrator claimed that the bus was filled with mines and he also threatened to set off an explosive device in another area other eye

russia russia and then. afterward another week or so david sanger will write an article saying well yeah the head of child shrugs said there was no russian head but wait we still think there was a russian always good point 3 mcgovern thank you so much for your expertise. you're most welcome. 3 months after harvey weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault now another potential victory for the disgraced movie mogul the victim's artie's fair fronsac has that report. the man who gave rise to the new 2 movement harvey weinstein and his former studio's board have reached a nearly $19000000.00 settlement with 9 of his accusers and a class action lawsuit this settlement is for any woman who was used by harvey weinstein she need not have come forth for she need not have told her story in the crowds or the lawsuit weinstein who was sentenced to 23 years for rape still does not admit any wrongdoing and won't be paying the accusers himself rather insurance companies for a studio that rece

does russia what does russia make of the strategy. well we do at the current moment we don't see any efficient strategy for afghanistan as far as we know and the u.s. troops are only capable of protecting their own basis and providing at least the security for their own personnel and that is all they can do actually what russia really wanted from them was to fight the drug trafficking and drug production russia expected that the u.s. will deal beneficent the ministration in kabul nothing nothing of that none of that happened in this is the problem and steal some of the military i think that mess of u.s. presence in afghanistan is dangerous for us so they will welcome the u.s. withdrawal but still there is this problem of who will actually get into this to been a tale of afghanistan and that is why russia is actually working with contingency policies and. lots of effort is being paid now to prepare for some emergency situations when we have either resurgent isis or another crisis in afghanistan in order to protect the conies to borders

rather than russia russia has russia has many ways it's not if you compare russia and china russia is not that they can the economy can find lots of work arounds of dollars and stuff like that and it's not all russia that banned from from from dollars. but for china given its. its role in international trade the lack of. exchange ability of the of the van which basically even now only accounts for less than 2 percent of international foreign exchange transactions. i think china is saying it's preparing for it but ultimately there's very little it can do about it and i don't i find it hard to see china being cut out of the dollar system and i think the economic consequences that for the world especially now would be far too grave so there's i think there has to be other pressure points rather than the the wiping out of the currents of currency access it would impose a huge cost to the world just bring it into to spec $2.00 for us for what would it mean for hong kong for hong kong's peg to the dollar what's at stake here for the territory well i think for now again. getting rid of the p

did russia interfere?'s been months since an influential group of mps investigated russian interference. today, after accusations of delay and cover—up, we finally found out their conclusions, that the government just hasn't done enough. but in our opinion, the uk government took its eye off the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism. the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch—up. russia poses a tough intelligence challenge, and the agencies here must have the tools they need to tackle it. the committee noted widespread allegations russia tried to interfere in the brexit referendum through the use of online trolls and russian media. but they say it's impossible to tell if that was successful. or what impact it could have had because nobody was trying to find out. the report reveals that no one in government knew if russia interfered in or sought to influence the referendum because they did not want to know. the uk government have ac

and political campaign against russia because russia is not russia of the 99 seas russia is a russia resurrections much of it so yes iran's superpower status is and that is what is high in this report that is what is behind the fear of britain and america well it's an immature think my very curious about it is that it's essentially is demanding people like ourselves and our viewers to prove a negative because they make a claim and they tried to build a case to satisfy that claim but they obviously don't and they turn around and say you have to prove to us that they didn't meddle this is inverting the entire inverted and logically end and actually how you approach the law in any kind of meaningful honest investigation go ahead oh well this is exactly the point because instead of saying you know we have all this evidence that there is russian meddling you know politics and you know setting out what the evidence isn't coming to conclusions all this saying is there is no evidence of russian meddling in our politics that must mean that the intelligence services are not doing their job pro

because of pressure from russia and russia. they voted because they wanted to take back control of our money of our trade policy about who is to speak and i see the promise is already in his pre-prepared lines this is a serious. serious question of national security the prime minister's son told this report for 10 months and failed to plug it out of the national security for a year and a half were during that heated exchange as we heard the sickest film of the labor leader accuse the prime minister of compromising the u.k.'s national security by sitting on the report for 10 months and also not investigating the alleged russian threat while in response to accuse the labor party of trying to undermine it breaks it he said it was due to remain as trying to claim that russian influence had led to the u.k. voting to leave the e.u. well this all comes as the u.k. government has also said that they don't see a need for reinvestigating to re-examine the bricks and ballots they've released a statement saying a retrospective assessment o

let me just say about russia. russia used to be a thing called the soviet union. because of afghanistan, they went bankrupt, they became russia, just so you do understand, okay? the last thing that russia wants to do is get too much involved with afghanistan. they tried that once. it didn't work out. >> leading off our discussion tonight, jonathan swan. reporter for axios. his full interview with donald trump will air on axios on hbo monday night. also joining our discussion democratic congresswoman sherrill of new jersey. she's a graduate of the naval academy and a former navy helicopter pilot and a russia policy officer, a member of the house armed services committee. and congresswoman, we always begin with the higher ranking among us and any member of congress is higher ranking than jonathan and i. and so i want to get your reaction to what you just heard, especially as a russia expert in that interview. >> well, i thought that interview was striking. and, you know, as a former russian policy officer, we have known for years russia does not have our interest at

russia is succeeding. in this specific case, it may be that russia assessed that the taliban was insufficiently active in striking coalition forces and needed incentives in order to hasten u.s. failure in withdrawal. it might be that russia sought to complicate the u.s.-taliban relationship. whatever the strange reasoning may have been, this crosses a threshold. russia is seeking to exploit implausibly deniable asymmetric operations now directly against u.s. military forces. the russian government has gotten away with its phase zero operations because we are not well equipped to compete in the asymmetric space, because we tend to view these operations as political, not security competition, and because we have all allowed the implausibly deniable to be denied and explained away. the result has been a creeping escalation and exploitation of asymmetric operations that thwart effective u.s. response . caution is warranted. the other end of the conflict spectrum is mutually assured destruction, but caution doe

time, drama as always in russia per putin and russia itself. wants to write in history to control the past. he faces essential challenges for himself, russia and the ruling group. firstly, vote last week was crazy. himself angry that consists of political liberals but of nationalists, left-wingers. secondly, putin has failed to resolve the conflict which will be inherent, genetic to this kind of system, the conflict between the omnipotent regime. the other hand, legitimacy thatse the only mechanism can recognize this kind of system. the end, it looks like putin has failed to stabilize the to create stability and has instead been practicing suicidal estate crisis. the more estate, the more brutal system becomes. has kind of system constitutional rigidity will be more difficult to transform without any kind of pain. i believe mike will find a good definition for this kind of putin castle surrounded by walls and insulated from the world. i am a big fan of alliteration and suicide statecraft is a wonderful phrase. there were reports of ballot stuff

we we re evidence that russia interfered.were told they had not seen any evidence, but that is meaningless if they haven't looked for it. the uk government took its eye off the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism. the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up. to which this is the uk government's response. we categorically reject that. and we offer a second placement on the threat russia poses. next, let's hear from mark lyall grant, the uk's national security adviser between 20— —— 2015-17. the suggestion in the report that somehow the government at the time had taken its eye off the russian ball and didn't see russia as the threat that it is is com pletely russia as the threat that it is is completely wrong. russia was front and centre of the national security review in 2015. what is truth is that i think the government was more focused on the hard edged, direct hostile activity by russia. whether that was threatening nato, annexing crimea, the as

the economy of russia is struggling. there's a mix of an overburdened socialist state with a very core of oligarchs who have literally stolen billions of dollars from the russian people. i have serious social and economicissues . no democracy would tolerate the kind of mismanagement and corruption that we've seen their area that's why putin is done away with any semblance of democracy. he was real constitutional referendums as we know recently allows him to be a virtual dictator. through 2036. russia's strategy to restoring superpower status is on the following elements. first, we clearly want to undermine nato and its emissions. nato has been a barrier to the ability of russia to expand back to the soviet state. secondly they want to undermine us militarypresence in europe . and that presence, our forces in europe have been a check on russian ambitions. thirdly, he wants to reinsert the russian regime back into the g-7 to be able to regain the status that they lost whenthey were kicked out because of their invasion of t

to leave because of pressure from russia russia if they voted because they wanted to take back control of our money of our trade policy of our last speaker i see the promise is already in is prepared lines this is a serious. serious question of national security the prime minister sucked on this record for 10 months and failed to plug in our little national security for a year and a half. well as you heard there said here star accusing the government of effectively sitting on this report for 10 months and compromising the u.k.'s national security well boris johnson responded by saying that effectively this is a ploy to undermine greg said and saying that the remain as we are using the so-called russian influence in the brics it goes as me to effectively say that it was russia that meant that the u.k. unless the e.u. well this comes at a time when the british government says there's no need to hash back over the vote and to look again at that particular ballot they released a statement saying a retrospective assessment of the e.u. referendum is not necessary following that russia report

russia relations if russia wouldn't go beyond crimea and that conversation between put in bolton reportedly took place in samarra for 2018 when the miller investigation was still ongoing and i thought that it was very curious because it puts all the allegations against truong it makes all the allegations against trump look like a child's play because if some think would to come out something similar with to come out from trump's ears from times mouth rather he would be accused of treason do you find they believe a bowl and if so why do you think the russian president would spill the beans at such a sensitive. the moment well president bush was not spilling the beans he was talking privately to high official of the united states the kremlin doesn't leak mr putin said. yes mr putin said it publicly that she will mark. the information that his colleagues share with him privately that's that's a matter of principle with president so i don't think president will tell you or anyone very soon or or ever what exactly was it that obama told him in 2048 now but he said it may mr cheney and just as he

— the uk‘s attitude to russia.china. russia was on a path to reform, they were a country the uk could become more friendly with, but recent events have changed that attitude and have suggested that many of those hopes mayjust have been misplaced. laura, many thanks. and steve in moscow, thanks. doctors, teachers and police officers will get above—inflation pay rises in what the chancellor, rishi sunak, said was recognition of their vital contribution during the pandemic. labour says the rise would not make up for years of real—terms cuts. during the day, it was revealed that the uk government borrowed nearly £130 billion between april and june this year — a record amount. our economics correspondent dharshini david reports. after months on the front line, almost a million public sector workers are set to get financial recognition. from september, prison staff and police officers will get increases of 2.5%. as for doctors, they‘ll get 2.8% backdated to april. teachers, too, are included. they‘ll get 3.1%. other grou

prime minister you somehow manages to charney out of russia. this triple release of beaches announce. what if off come the regulator did respond and said we're going to meet with the drama's people and we're going to talk to him about why he's concerned does that mean that it's a sham this independent regulator a kind of ally and actually we don't have a free press. well it is rubbing off on be quite happy to meet with the leader of the major opposition. and not beyond. trying to leverage what he sees dear on the report produced by manchester universe last year which was quite just in included r.t.t. beams best left a lot to guess dhamma may well say that you are russian stooge for appearing on this program he's banned his entire front bench from this program and from this channel. so who is there a problem in the house of lords you know the press are attacking them as a lords right now for the fact the you just said that 323 pounds you're going to get for a zoom call to. a to do legislation in this country what do you think of the criticism th

don't know why russia is implicated.as no surprise because russia for a while has been saying that, you know, all of this looks, for them, like a witch hunt, and no ha rd for them, like a witch hunt, and no hard evidence is provided. this is a tricky moment here, you know, because i'm the one hand, all of these things connected to hackers, it's really a grey zone. it's hard to attribute certain actions to certain people, and a little harder to attribute these people to groups 01’ to attribute these people to groups or to state actors, but on the other hand you know, all of this without all of those allegations not backed by evidence when we don't see why, you know, we don't see this why these conclusions were made. it only helps mr putin, for example, to continue his narrative inside russia sing, listen, just provided those allegations, no evidence, that's why it's easierfor him allegations, no evidence, that's why it's easier for him to depict russia asa it's easier for him to depict russia as a fortress surrounded by e

the west is no threat to russia. so why not take a different euro-atlantic view, as in the late 1990s it seemed possible that russia might do. i think that's an important question which we should keep confronting russian representatives with. i think the second point of russia-china, i think these are very interesting and intriguing. i doubt very much it's the partnership of two equals. at the same time i do wonder if the russians more manipulative with the chinese and perhaps the chinese let on. i think the whole disinformation thing where as you say we've seen the chinese copying russian practices of disinformation, increasing vis-À-vis uk -- [inaudible] that's an interesting area to explore. i will stop there so you can ask questions or move on to luke, but very happy to elaborate on any of that. >> thank you. i think that's very insightful about your analysis that russia feels it has more to gain from being disruptive than from engaging in trying to think about why that might be the case. certainly there are cert

russia will deny it.n up —— an improved relationship with russia, these attacks will not stop.” improved relationship with russia, these attacks will not stop. i do think the government and intelligence services have failed to get a intelligence services have failed to geta grip intelligence services have failed to get a grip of this? i think that's for the government to explain. the point made repeatedly in the press conference we've just seen is that it was plain that russia would seek to influence this. so the reason why this has not been undertaken... it sits uneasily with what intelligence services perceive us the question of why there was no direct remit to look at this problem. russia opposes a threat to the whole of society. notjust government. it has this broad span of different ways in which it seeks to harm others. there has been limited recognition of that until now. what about another section of the report? it accuses successive governments of welcoming russian oligarchs and their money with

russia as such? >> the difficulty that we have everybody knows and you got a lot of people writing about this very eloquently and university or can in the blogs is this fusion of the security services with the state. we think about this in the soviet. like a lot of more checks and balances there was division of -- how to succumb labor but maybe that's not the right way putting it but there was this stage and then there was the social security services which were run then on a fairly tight leash. we might have this image in the cold war thanks all the other kind of people writing about this, this was a james bond movies with spies running around all over the place. but these guys were under the oversight of the state. and you get to the situation we had since 2000 where putin has come out of the security services or the kgb to the backorders and they have become the state, all of these appointments of security officials from the various intelligence agencies in anyone putin the kremlin and cabinet nev

russia russia russia russia to get us focus aggressively on russia's and bent really what the british government doesn't yet whether they follow this up with aggressive moves against russia where the report just comes out and it's a 2440 hour and then just we will get back to actually more important things because as i said if you look at the report there ain't much in it it's a lot of much ado about nothing and we have got far far more important things as british citizens to worry about at the moment which is about the biggest threat to our liberties and freedoms in this country which we faced probably since the days of cornwall so i think i think it really that's what we should be focusing on ok near look we're going to leave it there we've run out of time but so good to talk to this afternoon that was neil clark journalist and broadcaster thank you thank you. i mean the ongoing protests in america president on trump has announced that he will send federal forces to all violence ravaged cities across the nation democrat governors to suspect their states are being targeted for politi

and gives an opportunity for russia to state once again that. they have the sanctions or should not be unwind it and no one who wide wide now. and all the human rights abuses should be investigated and according to pro-create procedures while countries should together at the negotiations table so the main. objective for russia is to stop their sanctions or into show that it is not a peaceful way for that think going to this french century to solve the issues well let's bring in david hague from london david. saudi arabia's investments in the u.k. absolutely huge they're about to buy new castle football club or trying to at least . is this a way as many people are said to give the saudis a bit of a slap on the wrist but it's business as usual but i think only only time will tell i mean if it's as i said it's a welcoming but it's not a good start but there are people not on the list that should be there we should have seen that the crown prince numbers from saudi relation to the feeling we should see you 80 leaders in relation to all sorts of the.
