going to see that perhaps today perhaps next week but we hope to hear something from brussels russia china turkey all back in the door why are they doing that well russia turkey china because they have economic interests they have again this interest in the whole oh yeah business for example in the south america and we see bolivia there also back even and that is a political alliance the alliance between china russia and the third country west turkey and iran as a that is not really a political one it is much more an economic one russia does not back up the matter is more the socialism in venezuela ok you know we talk about a political crisis there's also a very real human crisis of migration crisis seven percent of the venezuelan population has left the country is this flow of humanity out of it us we are going to continue under the current conditions probably especially under the current conditions because no one really knows what is going to happen we just talked to a minute ago about a possible military intervention from the united states and that it's a law that will mean more clashes

mimic the approach of russia and china. the idea that states have a sovereign right to control, or censor information within their borders. frankly, that is a vision that is incompatible with american values and our constitution. what i am saying though, is that we need to confront the fact that our adversaries have an approach that considers control of information, and essential component of their overall domestic, as well as offensive, defensive and offensive strategies. have not only failed to recognize the situation over the last two decades, but we have particularly, tended to downplay and minimize the dangers of operation. the truth is, the 2016 presidential campaign, served as a wake-up call for cyber attacks, and information operations. no, people one, and today, december 7, of a digital pearl harbor, or a digital 9/11, as if there will be a single act that will wake the country. and make us take action on these issues. i think i know, and i think what many of you in this room know as well, you're already living thi

own welcome to worlds apart situated between russia and china and the goal is the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic witness but rather a competitive advantage how has one goal they managed to overcome its geographical limitations and can if used as experienced to punch above its weight in the geopolitical green to discuss that i'm now joined by them but tara uncle is minister of foreign affairs and this is good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for the invitation now we're recording this interview on the sidelines of the ball by forum and many of the discussions here today are about q. crane and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west like to conflict mongolia also finds itself but then two great powers russia and china and yet from what i understand it is a source of development rather than discord how do you explain that well. we're developing the. ballast relationship with our neighbors and it's our priority. with russia china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust confidence

special the economic interests and there's the point where we go back to the to the oil thing russia china iran they do need venezuela's oil so this is more an economic interest and a political alliance i would say that russia really backs the socialism of my world or even the chavez somehow or how or how it started i didn't know the venezuelan crisis if we call that is also a regional one seven percent of the venezuelan populations and credible number number has fled the country many are living in neighboring nations as this crisis deepens will will more people continue fleeing the country yeah definitely i mean the situation is still very very tense we don't know which way it's going to take mother rose so there were you know is there a rush on the united states if there are everything is like like growing and becoming more and more tens of during the days maybe we will we will see the situation to the next week still so yes probably people are going to be still fleeing the their country venezuela i already talked to some people from venezuela and i quote or some weeks ago they told me t

the bickering that both russia and china on one side and the united states and other. of course the risks are there and therefore we're really also trying to counterbalance this sort of risks and therefore we have third neighbor policy and on the basis of that approach we're building very strong ties with our third neighbors as well so that in case of problems we still have live vibrant commercial relationships with other countries so therefore the risks are there we really want this to stop and we hope that at some stage you know the party is will come to terms even in the countries with the most close relationship the rather differences but if you really start only building attending those differences and then attending them with negative approaches then at times you don't solve the problems but you exist the important thing is that no matter how difficult it is to keep the dialogue now let me ask you specifically about the trumpet ministrations intense focus on china's trade policies one could make a case that if china's experts deny that states are inhibited it may

china, russia, and others back maduro. >> we expect the attempts by cuba, russia, and to some extent up maduro's security and financing will lead to additional efforts to exploit the situation in exchange for access, mostly to venezuelan oil. >> russia has invested billions in venezuela, and remains critical of u.s. sanctions against maduro. less than a week after withdrawing some of its staff from venezuela, the state department raised its travel advisory today, warning americans not to go there because of civil unrest, crime, and the arbitrary arrest of u.s. citizens. >> bret: at the state department, thank you. the director of national intelligence warned today that even though isis may have faced territorial defeat in syria, the terror group remains a dangerous, with thousands of fighters still in that area. while president trump has called for calling u.s. troops out of syria, correspondent benjamin hall is on the ground there, with a look at just how much the kurds rely on american support. >> pummeled by modern u.s. weaponry, the caliphate has been reduced to a single town. no

if we ever get into a nuclear conflagration with russia or china that's unthinkable. you have to stop it from occurring. you have to stop an adversary from miscalculating? how do you that? you have to calculate in many different ways to make sure the adversary can't succeed. >> general carlisle? >> i apologize. >> i didn't want to put you back on-the-spot. i want to pose the same question to you how active missile defense contribute to deterrence. >> senator kyl is exactly right. president reagan said it's the suicide pact. people of the world don't want that. and i guess the dialogue or discussion that goes on is if you develop an exquisite missile defense capability, is that destabilizing or stabilizing? you know, i think it's something that you got to look at for what is it, and that is your ability to defend your people. it's not an offensive weapon. it renders an opponent's capability less capable, swarm is a challenge. but, you know, even given the argument over stability versus instability, it's the right answer to go down versus a suicide pact that mutually as

great powers russia and china and yet from what i understand it is a source of development rather than just or it how do you explain that well. we're developing the. ballast relationship with our neighbors and it's our priority. with russia and china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust beasts confidence relationship the most important thing is really the fact that you give priority to this relationship you is your relationship on your strengths of course with different countries that means we have differences it doesn't mean that we do not have differences but it's very important to menage those differences and to capitalize on your strengths but from what i understand it took you sound time to arrive at that perspective because you said in one of the interviews that before mongolia used to view its landlocked status as an imitation what allows for that change of perspective and this new vision of being landlocked in having no access to the sea as something that you can actually gain from here you know two things again under do love the sea convention we have the rig

not surprisingly, russia and china were near the top of the list. >> the kmlin has aligned russia withve regimes in cuba, iran, north korea, syria, and venezuela, and moscow's relationship with beijing is closer than it has been in many decades. >> the cnese counterintelligence threat is more deep, more diverse, more veng, more challenging, more comprehensive, more concerning that any counterintelligence threat i can think of. ura: a brief time ago i spoke with a former defense departmeci of who is now at the center for american progress. t we hea intelligence chiefs warning of the cyber threats particularly from russia and china, saying that the two a powe more aligned than at any time since the 1950's. s how great is tategic risk? >> i think it is significant that cyber is the first thing mentioned in the report. in addition to the alignment between russia and china, it is the closest since the's, a really concerning trend. what is also concerning is that u.s. allies and partners are starting to seek independence in the united states and foreign policy. thtrajectories of allies a fri

on the other side of that, you have russia and china backing nicolas maduro. backing? russia and china, still key players and also the military supports nicolas maduro. what really changes from here? they will have to be dialogue. it is the only way through. the situation is, it could colla pse through. the situation is, it could collapse into a civil war. the military doesn't want to be responsible for that and neither does the us. what you think are the prospects of oil sanctions on venezuela? prospects of oil sanctions on venezuela ? presumably it prospects of oil sanctions on venezuela? presumably it would cripple an economy already on its knees or could there be other customers, apart from the us? the fa ct customers, apart from the us? the fact is that 80% of the cash reve nu es fact is that 80% of the cash revenues that venezuela generates from oil comes from the us so sanctions on us, on venezuela on oil exports will be devastating but they will also affect the us. there is a feeling that the us government wouldn't want to do something that drastic but

and other regional powers met do is being backed by venezuela's military as well as russia china and iran this gene we leads brazil's first and only openly gay congressman and.

suit soon on this all difficulties if you want but the relations between japan and china russia and china are in the experience legal key creates a need to be so because i think it is in the interest of russia. that doesn't. but it will go on but you know the question that the general public here in russia is asking right now because japan and china they have their own island dispute going on but if japan wants russia to get islands back and enjoy a good relations afterwards why doesn't it do the same with a cat who alanson the south china sea that's what people are asking over here. this is views based on the facts. based on let me let me tell you you know something the process through of these two issues. no we are doing our best we don't determine this that these i mean there are some to make my son from price to reason i remain to be russia and i think this will be good for hans internationals. and i think this will be good for russian even ourselves and the relationship between the ponderosa based on distrust of improving peace treaty will benefit us both know. we have an entirely di

was russia and china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust confidence relationship the most important thing is really the fact that you give priority to this relationship you it is your relationship on your strengths of course with different countries that means we have differences doesn't mean that we do not have differences but it's very important to menage those differences and to capitalize on your strengths but from what i understand it took you sound time to arrive at that perspective because you said in one of the interviews that before mongolian used to view its landmark status as a limitation. what allows for that change of perspective on this new vision of being law blocked and having no access to see. as something that you can actually gain from you know two things again under the love the sea convention we have the right to access the city and our neighbors due to a very good neighborly relationship which is a strategic nature we're having no problem with our access and strength of international law.

was russia and china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust confidence relationship the most important thing is really the fact that you give priority to this relationship you because you're the aleutian ship on your strengths of course we're different countries that means we have differences doesn't mean that we do not have differences.

president he's running his second term he does have some big name supporters behind him the shape of russia china turkey there's plenty of money billions of dollars have been pledged by russia and china could it be that he could just turn things around. i don't think he can turn things around economically he's had six years to do that he's repeatedly said he's going to now so they can buy a package that will solve the problems he's failed to do that situations got steadily worse and now goes under international sanctions i don't think even the chinese who have the money to bail him out particularly keen to go on doing that indefinitely the russians might be more inclined but they don't have the money and i think unless there's a political solution there's no way that the economic financial and social crisis humanitarian crisis can be a result all all of this has to start with a political solution and sunny settle the negotiations are unpopular with a part of that but look at a slow electorate at least it really is the only way forward the problem is that the government has never put on a been sta

foreign law other than a few countries russia china and being some of the main countries were and as well has been able to do that because of their inability to incur debt there's been a dramatic escalation of the crisis and this is actually something that the u.s. government has admitted those are rational and for in november of last year where the u.s. government is very specifically that there are n.g.o.s and betters the telling us that this is going to harm the people and that there are going to be negative attacks of our own sanctions and there's very little doubt that there has been very serious negative attacks already so i think that the u.s. doesn't have any sort of. ground to stand on when they say that we care about the venezuelan people as long as the sanctions regime close what about the wider region here i mean what role about as well as neighbors playing in all of this a lot of them have recognized the interim leader as well over the last couple of days i mean could they help deescalate this crisis somehow. well i think the wider region is a really crucial thing to kee

these of the china and. russia no it's completely isolated on iran except for saudi arabia and israel no one's lining up behind the us policy there so america is proclaiming its. global sovereignty at a time when its power is increasingly in trouble. speaking as a european do you think that washington should dictate european security energy security policy like demanding that europeans not buy russian natural gas. well i think those comments some time ago we. were very inappropriate because always really we. kind of think of a law that the u.s. president would get into those kind of issues. that kind of thing was not a problem to any other former u.s. presidents but having said that it is so think it will show as strange for him to say that. it seems to me that it could be a little bit of politics here on there he's always on campaign he has these russian collusion thing behind on there might be something obviously there's a lot of information out there so he might be plain a little bit. that he's being tough rough

and enemies on the other side especially when we're lining up with not only iran but but but russia and china as potential enemies remember there was a recent report by a congressionally mandated commission saying that not only might there be a war with russia or china we could lose that war. this the unthinkable for thirty years forty years during the old cold war has now become thinkable because of this mindset you know daniel going back to my pump a i mean in looking what he's been on the rise of been on the job that i guess nine months he's been on the job right now he's probably the most undiplomatic secretary of state the united states has ever had i mean he did he never talked about diplomacy any city hates awkward questions. it is at odds with his vision which i'm i'm not particularly sure i understand it completely because it doesn't make any sense logically but i mean diplomacy isn't the secretary of state strong card is it. i mean the this administration thoroughly rejects diplomacy and shape form or whatsoever but the the important thing is that the u.s. foreign policy is doing ve

china and russia back and as does the army for now at least also coming up. in an exclusive d.w. interview with germany's foreign minister on bale's plans for the country's two year term on the un security council. and move over a football handball fever grips germany as the national team aims to book a place in the final of the rural job futures. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us venezuela remains in the grip of a bitter power struggle after opposition leader won by doe's attempt to oust president nicolas maduro western nations have backwaters bid for new elections but china russia and turkey are supporting the doro whose cut off diplomatic ties with washington. a defines nicolas maduro has gone on the offensive severing diplomatic relations with the u.s. a day after washington codman duros regime in egypt amount i. get couldn't move i think there is no doubt in the world that donald trump wants to bring in his own de facto unconstitutional government a coup d'etat in venezuela against the people and democracy. let there be no doubt that donald trump in all his m

russia and china interfering in independent state. help does he need? statelj don't interfering in independent state.” don't think they can be of much use. they could be of use at the security council. the security council debate on saturday. it is not a bad thing to have two permanent members on your side. but don't think, for example, if it came to any kind of military conflict, but the russians, the chinese or even the cubans, closer at hand, would put any roots on the ground or put any kind of military assistance. given the suffering of so many people they are, from the outside we could look at this is a crisis of economics. but it is more than that? it's a political crisis in essence. although it is clear that the nicolas maduro government has handled the economy extraordinarily badly. millions of% of impatient, production collapsing, the economy size has halved since he came to power. but the issue really is political. if nicolas maduro had not closed off all democratic ways out of the crisis, we would have new government by now and the new governm

of latin american leaders things different even when you were working with was in this is that russia china. arguably the majority of the world is more with the mood or. even with java's defeat of the u.s. back to a job well certainly that concerning exists and remember venezuela is literally surrounded by u.s. military bases and presence in colombia where there are several u.s. military bases that occupy colombia bases a large. presence of u.s. special troops and special operations forces the same goes for brazil which is on venice well as south eastern border you know and in that amazonian territory i mean all of that. you know the u.s. has military presence all throughout the caribbean also nato you know countries that operate in that in that theater of operations as they like to call it so i do believe the venice is in the center of a geopolitical battlefield and yes well maduro presently does have the support of other powerful nations that chavez didn't necessarily have at that time in two thousand and two like russia. china at the same time it doesn't necessarily mean that that will c

getting strong support from both russia and china as he says he is now ready to negotiate with the country's self-proclaimed president but also russia and china are. also on the grid finding a way. britain. exit. the. winter in the north from its. real extremes we'll have one of our own in-house meteorologist explain the science . and the concept. and. why. online through you tube facebook is the red dot com and russia has now stepped into venezuela's crisis saying it's ready to help mediate between the two men who say they are president now the elected leader nicolas maduro also says he is ready to negotiate with his opposition rival. the man who has declared himself interim president however. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says for negotiations to be successful venezuela's opposition needs to drop all preconditions related in the region that it will to model if this mediation sees any attempt to include any kind of preconditions dinette kind of mediation is unlikely to be fruitful or useful it is unlikely to be supported we call upon the opposition to refuse ultimatums and to work

secretary of state palmdale who claims that only china russia cuba syria and iran are supporting the duro used to be able to get well if a sector of state would find the time to stay here in this room a little bit longer he would hear directly how how. how many states how many states condemn the policy of internal and interference in to the internal affairs and regime change. these countries are not there to support the regime what they're here for is to support international law and i think sector the sector of state has already had a chance to hear this possibly in the context of. the notion of rules based order which was been promoted by our western colleagues and such actions. overthrowing rogue regimes are not are welcome by them as well but international law classifies such actions quite clearly as a violation of the un charter and in particular as chapter two point four we consider this be. unacceptable it undermines the principles of the u.n. charter and the basic norms of international behavior and relations we would also like to address our latin american partners we might

initiative or russia and china in particular who will continue to bolster the madeira government despite the u.s. and its allies insistence that it falls all right tom i can now with an update from the united nations thank you well just a quick reminder of who in the international community is supporting nicolas maduro who's against tend to russia. as your hearing says any moves to remove him from power are illegal while turkey is calling him a brother china is also standing behind him and will go back to the u.n. security council and listen. representative. no one which is based on something that they lied to me to president i'm saying we reject it categorically the statements made by the representative of the united states of america in this council chamber today we regret the fact that the government of the united states of america is seeking to exploit and use the security council to lend legitimacy to the international campaign is to be hedging against the constitutional government presided by nicolas maduro models of the main threats to peace and security in latin america and the c

is that it's a trilateral relationship at truly trilateral relationship but wherever there is russia and china the united states is now far too far away what's your current state of affairs with washington very close very close and we just had a visit to for prime minister to the united states and up until now we had a comprehensive partnership and now we have extended the level of our cooperation to an extended. comprehensive partnership so we're already admitting one move ahead in terms of advancing a relationship that really means you know trade technology education culture you know we are you know taking into fox news and we are. you know on the policy based decisions we deliberately are working to expand there now the iraq all of the trump administration into the white house has changed the american relationship with many countries both foes and fred. to the war i say are you saying that man go away is a rare exception to that everybody heard the speech of president from the general assembly and he said he talked about principled pride his message the doctrine of u.s. policy and the u.s.

. >> the president did not mention russia, china, or north korea by name, but his new acting defense secretary did. >> north korea's missiles remain a significant concern. america's competitors, including china and russia, are increasing their existing missile system capabilities. they are adding new and sophisticated missiles to their arsenals. >> the new 108 page report has been posted to the pentagon website and includes plans for 20 new ground-based intercepts in alaska. necessary to protect emergence from all types of missile attacks, this new missile defense system -- and the president also called for more bread and sharing with allies. north korea successfully testfired its first intercontinental ballistic missile in 2016. it did not conduct any lodges last year. the new review includes plans to expand the u.s. military's ability to detect and potentially shoot down rogue missiles from space. it's on a scale not seen since president reagan's "star wars" initiative. unlike ballistic missiles whose follow a set and standard trajectory, he's concerned by new hypersonic missiles b

there are strong ties between russia and venezuela russia considers whether as well or an ally it lends it billions and billions of dollars as has china there also military ties between the two countries only recently russia sent two long range strategic bombers to venezuela as support basically in a show of force against western countries the united states could russia intervene militarily while it's too soon to tell that i think it certainly will try and defend mr maduro in the united nations as to whether there might be any. overt military action militarily overtly i think that's perhaps at the moment unlikely but covertly there are things that russia could do it has private military contracts is a group called particularly which is used in ukraine and syria and at the moment is active in places like the central african republic so there is a possibility that it could be considering using that outfit to help out nicolas maduro in venezuela. the afghan taliban is named one of its co-founders is the leader of its political office in qatar and deliberately but are those expected to join negotiations with the us would gain momentum the

the first is the intelligence community assesses russia and china and iran intend to interfere in the 2020 election and will have learned lessons from russia. importantly, also as you mentioned, on two particular crucial issues, dan coats, the director of national intelligence as directly contradicted president trump. president trump said that isis, the terrorist group has been defeated. well, coats said directly in his opening statement, that's not true. he didn't mention what trump said, but he said isis is on its way to military defeat in iraq but is going back to guerilla war fafare roots and is plannin terrorist attacks. a contradiction with president trump. and north korea, recall that president trump in june tweeted there was no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. as we've been reporting all along, dan coats says the intelligence says that's not true. north korea is unlikely in his crew, to give up their nuclear weapons because they consider them crucial to regime survival and he mention they detected behavior inconsistent with denuclearization. >> let me play what we've

russia china turkey reiterate their support for nicolas maduro after the u.s. and others declare he is no longer venezuela's president. when your child has ever lived headquarters hearing also coming up. as the democratic republic of congo's new president after election fraud with delays and. british politicians and lawyers for saudi arabia to respond to their requests to visit detained activists. the former governor of jakarta is a free man after two years in prison for blasphemy why his supporters have been us to tone down the celebrations. welcome to the program geo political divisions a wide thing over the past rago in venezuela russia china and turkey are amongst the countries throwing their support behind president nicolas maduro after the u.s. and some latin american powers declared that he's no longer in charge. who heads the national assembly after he declared himself the legitimate president explains. thousands of people responded to the call by the opposition to take to the streets they're calling for freedom and they won venezuela's security forces

see everybody figuring it out all nations are figuring it out that's why you see the likes of china russia and other nations hoarding gold they're starting to stockpile gold and i think you're going to see an acceleration you certainly see in china of their massively issue they're just like going deeply into debt so fast and so rapidly like it's shocking it's pretty shocking pace of the debt accumulation in china so i think they know they is up so why not build real things like railroads and and ports across africa and asia for their future trade on a maybe a global gold standard or because this is an interesting point i mean you bring up let's explore that just for a moment so you're suggesting that china knows the game is up and they are simultaneously expanding their debt and hoarding gold yes it's kind of a game of chicken and they are always operate on ten fifteen twenty year horizons they're looking ahead so they don't really expect to pay that debt now they expect there to be default that is what i said a few like a year or two ago is i said that that's a good plan for the u.s. is i

my view my view is that the relations between china and russia are very important race and for russia and sometimes i certainly know we tend to intervene to solve those. relations. so it's only listen to this china and i'm sure that the russians are not only in division of the two are important the relations with china weeks i happen to have. seen a series of this all different of these people but relations between japan and china russia and china are in the experience legal keep race and let it be so if you think it is in the interest of russia. that doesn't bother us i hope. but it will go on but you know the question that the general public here in russia is asking right now because japan and china they have their own island dispute going on but if japan wants russia to get islands back and enjoy a good relations afterwards why doesn't it do the same with a cat who alanson the south china sea that's what people are asking over here. this is views based on the facts. based on let me let me tell you you know something the process through these two countries you. know we are doing our

well it's not surprising that russia and china get their support smuggled on a few months ago the defense minister paraded two russian bombers given to inflame and it's just the pitch or russia like china cuba has important common interests in venezuela as economic crisis grows to countries became venezuela's benefactors and main trade partners supporting chavez and now my little politically has been a bargain for exporting oil and mining in the amazon basin so their interest would be put in jeopardy with the new government what we see now is a diplomatic standoff between these countries the difference this time is how much they can support a country in turmoil as well as we're doing today because a look at the chat about diplomacy that you actual situation have been as well as deplorable and that is why we've seen a rise of protests and the huge crowds the protests against my will yesterday it's evident that this will not be any country to govern peaceful week in the coming months and that also affects russia's chinese investment in business where they are and also what about the villain

lot of welcome to worlds apart situated between russia and china then when the goal is the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic quickness but rather a competitive advantage how has mongolia managed to overcome its geographical limitations and can if use this experience to punch above its weight in the geopolitical green or to discuss that i'm now joined by the. uncle as minister of foreign affairs minister is good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for the petition now we are recording this interview on the sidelines of the valdai forum and many of the discussions here today are about ukraine and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west led to a conflict mongolia also finds itself but the two great powers russia and china and the us from what i understand it is a source of.

stolen by the bank of england without any reason so it's very important to get the support of russia china. turkey and many other countries as well from woodrow so his people understand that there is international support that they're not that these countries are not going to let the democratically elected president be removed by undemocratic means or a coup when you look at what's going on in venezuela were only one or two small events from it turning into a syria now i hear mention vietnam but i think it's a lot closer to what happened in syria you look at the opposition defected soldiers from the c.n.n. report requesting arms from trump well i mean that sounds very similar to what happens in two thousand and eleven when obama started army people you said thanks very much for your take this our use of turkish political analyst on the situation the global situation surrounding what is happening in venezuela. ok let's get a check on other stories we're closely following this hour families in france are seeking answers after a mysterious surge in children born with birth defects more than a

in countries like russia china churchy people are told lives or something and if you're a journalist fear and you try to get beyond it you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to give beyond smoke and mirrors it's not just about free trade or balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. when he was born golf and i work in the end of. this week on world stories. the usa boys learn to respect. the end of neon lights in hong kong we begin in ukraine more moral soldiers are returning home from the battlefield traumatized in order to return to their regular lives back at home some veterans and no participating in an unusual form of therapy it's been eight years since and three returned home from the front line the fighting may now be hundreds of kilometers away but the conflict still hasn't let go. really certain everything could be fine in the. constant vigilance that saved them days life in the trenches is now getting in the way of adjusting to normal life his body releases adrenaline at rando
