aligns with the nation is pretty strategy and aligns with what we think would be our view of europe and a russia that acts responsibly on its territorial sovereignty. these are the five different scenarios. a rapid movement towards independence and europe. if europe could be completely energy independent from russia with that look like and how would both sides react with the second one probably more plausible and maybe even more urgent is expansion of the ukrainian conflict to include to go beyond the line of control if there was an expansion in other regions of interest, a strategic miscalculation of sorts. the third move was uncontrollable -- we characterized whose use of nationalization as weaponization but what happens when he loses control of that nationalism? we thought of him falling off the bear or the bear takes off on its own i've been to both sides react? the fourth turn you see this was not meant to be a coup of sorts but effectively the way we structure that is putin has come is the longer in power. how does the use interpreted but how do these advisors, what would you advise to kno

coupled with the challenges posed by russia, europe faces a surge of violent extremism from foreign fighters returning home from the fight in syria and in iraq. spread of instability to europe and reach of transnational terrorism could have a direct bearing on the national security of the u.s. homeland and facing both of of the serious challenges to the east and to the south, we are working closely with our sisters, nato partners as well as allies and other international organizations including the e.u. addressing these challenges means our own efforts in europe remain utterly essential more important now than any other time in recent history. our reassurance in atlantaic resolve demonstrates resolve to keep the presidents and our nation's commitment to article 5 of the net washington treaty. our ability to be as responsive and to reassure quickly rests on the fact that we are there in europe. forward. and ready. there are semimy no institute for our forward force presence in europe. it's the bedrock of our ability to ensure our allies, detour real and potential add ver stairs and respond in

for example in eastern europe and russia. many at that time young people that i interviewed, were there at the time. they put their hopes in similar - that similar changes would take place in cuba and a gradual democratic transformation would take place, and they learnt those things in russia and eastern europe. >> were people curious about americans, what they think of cuba and thought of the revolution? >> yes, they were a little curious about what we thought of it. they wanted to show their best and strongest side of the history. they wanted to agrees upon us their pride. they consider themselves cuban before any other race determination there. and they wanted to show us that they were self-sufficient, each though they were socialist. they had self-sufficiency ideas, with the opening of cuba now, they are getting more into learning how to do things for themselves. rather than relying on the state to get things done >>> when i have been on reporting trips to cuba professor, i found the dogged pride in self sufficiency and s

russia. and the relationship between europe and russia. and it linked into several other programs we were doing already at the u.s. army war college. over time we had meetings with experts from think tanks and universities and from the state department as well. and those meetings were to confirm and improve and refine our ideas or our understanding of the russian system. so that is what we did over time. so the wargame was a month ago but prior to that we had many meetings in washington with tanks to discuss our view of what we thought the russian system was like. we use what we called operational design. it is a way to frame the environment to frame the problem and frame the approach to the system. we started with first understanding the problem. so we looked into puin's grand strategy. and we used ways and means to define that and we looked for tensions within the current russian system and fractures in the system as well. for the environment, we used visualization of the russian bear and the russian bear with his own dna and moving thro

chris hadfield: there are ships that come from japan, russia europe, and the united states, and then they dock at all of the different ports of the station and there is an unmanned resupply ship coming up every few weeks from one of those locations, and it is quite busy, because we have to move them around like a shell game sometimes to free up a port, and there is four in the russian segment, some in the american segments, so you can have a week where you are doing nothing but moving spaceships around, so you get fresh fruits almost every time one of those comes up. it is the last thing they put in the ship before it leaves earth. it might be a little container of apples and oranges, something that may spoil, and then it docks, and you open it up, and then it smells like oranges, which is a rare and lovely smell. brian: back to suni williams. she is going to deal with one of the more often asked questions. i will just let her explain it. suni williams: this is our orbital outhouse, it serves two functions, number two, right here. i will show you. you can see it is small, so you have

europe. we met the alliance with the national security strategy and the alliance of what we think would be our view, and russia that acts responsibly and honors territorial sovereignty. these are the five different scenarios. the first one you see is a rapid movement toward energy independence in europe. we had to suspend a little reality and say if you could be completely independent from russia, what would that look like and how would both sides react? the second one, probably more plausible, and maybe even more urgent, is expansion of the ukrainian conflict. if it were to go beyond the line of control if there was an expansion in other regions of interest, and then they strategic miscalculation of sorts. the third move was uncontrollable uncontrollable naturalism. we characterized naturism as a weapon of nationalism. what happens when he loses control of the nationalism. talking about falling off the bear or the bear takes off on its own. how do both sides react. the fourth one you see the power turning against putin. this was not meant to be a coo of sorts. these powerly advisors, what would they advise to

russia. the relationship -- europe russia actually. it linked into several programs we were doing already at u.s. army war college. over time we had meetings with many respected experts from think tanks, universities, dod, state department as well. those meetings were to confirm and to improve and to refine our ideas or our understanding of the russian system. so that's what we did over time. so the war game was actually a month ago. prior to that we had many meetings here in washington with think tanks to discuss our view on what we thought that the russian system was like. we used what we call operational design. it's a way to frame the environment, frame the problem and frame the approach to the system. we started with first understanding the problem, so we looked into putin's strategy trying to figure that out. we used ways and means to define that and tensions within the system current russian system and fractures in the system as well. for na environmentation we used visualization of russian bear with his own dna moving through a

. >> i think that russia europe and america have a great potential to be very close friends but i thinkwe have a very rough legacy which refrains from going to travel and being good friends. ryan: you set the soviet union was a superpower and should be treated like a superpower. >> we didn't forget that 100 years ago there was a revolution in russia, which changed everything. since that time the relations between russia and the other worlds have changed and it has been very difficult. it has given a taste. what i think -- we need some kind of challenge to overcome together which will help us to become closer friends. i think we all find something really important -- unfortunately, i think -- ryan: you mean like afghanistan -- when the united states wanted to fight afghanistan through russia. >> for example. america and russia were best friends the next day after september 11 when putin came on air and said we are with america. that was a really friendly handshake. it has been broken since that time, but unfortunately, we need some kind of other challenge for all of us to understand that

from europe to asia to russia to india, it's a large continent, eurasia, so you overcome some of the stove piping. ok. paul? >> thanks, paul schwartz from csis. i had a question about the the disparity in the way the two contestants in the crisis view how they are and how that actually played itself out in the the exercise. in addition, i tend to agree with the findings on that currently the likelihood is that russia will pursue a frozen conflict in ukraine, given that there's little to gain from seizing -- and much to lose. but that will hold up only unless and until russia starts to see that perhaps as ukraine policy is headed for a second collapse as dr. kutchison described the first one. i'm curious how that played out in the scope of the exercise. thank you. >> thank you. kyle scott. i want to turn to your policy consideration to clear the articulating a policy towards russia, eastern europe and ukraine. i'm sure my colleagues in the state department would argue that we in fact do have the clearly articulated position. but i'm going to say that you're correct and then challenge

says the political situation has stabilized in russia and investors are not worried about additional sanctions coming from western europeo says russia wants to be part of international community, just not at any price. >> some people are making a huge russia, trying to push america.eader from it is a big mistake. we want to be part of europe. we want to be part of the civilized world. we have our own mentality, interest etc.. it is a big mistake to push us because we are friends. we're friends, not pupils. he also spoke about what it is like to be rush upon richest man -- to be russia's richest man. good to not very demonstrate that you are rich. i am always trying not to demonstrate this. i'm trying to be as simple as possible, to help people, to make more philanthropy. to pay good salaries for my workers. when people start to discuss that i am the richest one, i sport.aybe it is not in in sport, i am happy when i'm winning something. one,is game, the richest maybe -- for a russian it is a sad story. olivia: the bloomberg billionaires index takes his fortune, making him the 54th richest person in the world. senator eli

yeah, we had a couple of international fellows saying russia is part of europe whether we like it or noft. it is. so, yeah. >> good morning, rob kim from the national war college. army college grad. as a war strategist, a couple of things that strike me which lead me to ask you a couple of questions. if we take at face value, we have a long-term relationship with the russians that is unavoidable. that's a competition for them to play out is a problem for the the united states. because of this asymmetric escalation they seem to have because of the nature in ukraine. and then the third observation is how the u.s. was continually reactive. they were trying to play a defense and always caught and moved behind the russians. so the question is how do you stee the initiative? if you have a strategically competitive relationship what are the places where the advantages accrue to you where you can force the russians to react to what you're doing, rather than you react to them. where are the places where advantages accrue to the united states that you can play out in a competitive environment,

she's trying to get him moved to a hospital anywhere outside russia, anywhere -- europe, the middle east u.s. and maybe this guy from open russia will survive, god willing he will. if he does not, he will become the latest in what is an incredibly long lists of journalists and activists and critics of vladimir putin who have mysteriously been shot to death or in surprisingly large numbers poisoned to death since vladimir putin took hold of that country by its throat 16 years ago. joining us now is michael mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to russia. ambassador, thank you for being with us tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> so the kremlin is denying any involvement in this apparent poisoning. how -- is it fair to view it in light of the kinds of previous incidents that i just laid out? >> well, of course. i mean, to be honest, listening to what you've just said, even i -- and i know some of these people personally -- have forgotten just how long this list is and, by the way, how few people have gone to jail as a result of these actions. and at the same time, in the spirit of not knowing al

the one hand, connecting all the difrent changes we have seen inty environment in and arouound europe. russiam. internrnational terrorism is another one. we are also concerned about and to take part in today and i pect we will the future, in stabizing the human operations in the middle east and africa -- the u.n. operations in the middle east and afri those areas e changing and becoming more demanding. the u.n. has beecleaear on the type of operations n is more prprotecting civilians thatt require different military capabilities. the expeations european countries contribute are creasing. there are a numb of security issues around norway which will affect what bemes a relevant force in the future. another thing we are looking at is technology. we've got to do better with tenology instead o of always sitting the back seat and iting for technology to be readily developed we have to be more proactive and try to identify w which technol will give advantages in mitary operationsn the future and get in on using them as quickly as possib. specifically, if we can save money on doing it. vago: i was go

and so far, russia europe and the united states. >> you know just to play devil's advocate here why wouldrussia or any other country? of course it's an expansion opportunity. right? >> he's got a glamorous life. a great life. >> but everybody -- >> he's -- his family is all over the world, he can do whatever he wants. but it's hard to make it in the music business. >> especially being -- coming from a wealthy family. it gives you a very wrong kind of flavor to your music. >> good point. >> people like -- >> well, what do you have to say to me? how can you sing about pain? but you have succeeded. you're an international pop star. you have a lot of opportunities. you had business acumen. what do you see as the future of the music business because a lot of pop stars, great artists who aren't stars yet have to make a living at this and it's difficult with all the technology closing in. >> three things, i think physical sales are pretty much gone. people don't make money off selling things on itunes. and live shows is the future. i think the worldwide tours, the price tag is so high now that y

we know from the documents he actually sent people to great britain and europe and russia to carry out attacks specifically to try to hit american targets if possible. numerous attacks failed. when he responded to the letters to others he said it was that it was bad luck and god wasn't on our side. beyond that though he felt a great disdain for american target targets. he said don't attack the security forces or police force where is you are. attack the american targets. he wanted to stay focused in that direction. he had a great deal of respect for or at least fear of american power out there. at one point, one document says these pig invaders and loyal dogs are too scared of death to fight us face-to-face. the main reason they continue to kill us is we don't have the resources to counter their technology. their example to trace e-mail which could be traced and ability to use drones. cautioned some to never move unless there was a cloud cover overhead because the drones will spot you. in many ways he dealt with day-to-day struggles to keep his forces mobilized and fighting back as all

european leaders met in poland where the first shots were fired to mark victory in europe day. russias holding a victory parade tomorrow, many countries are boycotting it over the fighting in ukraine. >>> secretary of state john kerry was also on hand in paris. he held talks with foreign ministers today preparing for a white house summit with gulf leaders next week. the war in yemen and iran's growing influence in the middle east will be on the agenda. >>> a top al-qaeda commander has reportedly been killed by a u.s. drone strike in yemen. the reportedly died last month. he was behind the attack on charlie hebdo magazine in paris. >>> italy's navy is now trying to figure out why some doors were locked on a boat that sank off of the coast of libya last month killing up to 800 people. officials say hundreds of bodies seem to be on the ship. stephanie decker reports. >> reporter: the italian prosecutor dealing with this case said that hundreds of bodies are on that ship. the said up to 800 people could have died during this accident and that's according to the size of the ship according

there are other systems in europe and russia. and as those evolve they will improve the accuracy as well as combining with other sensors to get better information on the actual location. emily: why would the german automakers want to partner with bydu other than it's a big company? marc: an interesting question. the german automakers are interested in the high definition maps part. right now they run, they are one of the major map properties in china. we miss them sometimes in china. massive map company. i think they have a strong interest. you can see it becoming a buyer in this because bydu's maps while very good are in china. some of the reports said they'll use nokia in china. i don't understand that actually. what would seem to make more sense is to get out of china into a broader worldwide market. emily: how do you expect this to play out? marc: the automotive guys have a huge amount at risk if they don't secure some position. having said that the advantage the internet mobile companies have is they're growing so fast they

russia. it is really coming from big time from western europe and asia. a growing environment. i think perception will change over time. and many start talking about the opportunity in russia now is quite significant. when we get to the point in time where we start to see improvement in the macro situation in russia, it could be a major opportunity for carlsberg. it is just a matter of when. i think perception will change and we are really performing strongly in a big part of our business. and i'm sure we will see over time, also, more and more people looking at carlsberg realize that. francine: i know it is difficult to predict, but in terms of what you are expecting for the ruble, is there any way that carlsberg can hedge themselves against future swings in the ruble? joergen: it is something we have been analyzing for five years. it is still in our minds. too costly to think about hedging the ruble. guy: what is your advice to your successor? what kind of handover are you giving? joergen: we are in close dialogues. i think it is a good handover first of all. and it's really a

europe. and three i'll conclude with a few points on russia and missile defense.t that you undoubtedly heard from elaine and ken. the president's fiscal year 2016 budget protects and enhances our important missile defense priorities, such as the european phase adaptive approach and reflects the priority we place on the efforts. the u.s. commitment to nato missile defense and the sites in poland remain as former secretary of defense chuck hagel said quote ironclad. with that, let me take a much moment -- a few moments to discuss where we are with the president's european phase adaptive approach in the united states's station contribution to the north atlantic treaties organization missile defense system. in 2009, the president announced that the epaa would, quote provide stronger, smarter and swifter defenses of american forces ss and america's allies quite relying on quote capabilities that are proven and cost-effective. since then we have opinion working hard to implement his vision and have made great strides in recent years. i just returned from turkey and roma

explaining why they had in the been successful with numerous attacks in the united kingdom, europe and russia. they blame important training, poor communications, in sufficient weapons to combat these problems, osama urged them to try new methods to attack the enemy like house knives gas, diesel tanks and making airplanes trains and cars, killing tools. bin laden's personal on line library had 40 books in english, including obama's wars by bob woodward, bloodlines, and the rise and fall of the great powers. there were also some personal videos in one of his favorite wife, described as bin laden's last will he tells her quote you are apple of my eye, most precious things i have in this world and i want for you to be my wife in paradise. but he did say it is okay for her to remarry after his death. hundreds more of these compound will be reviewed for possible declassification and released more as well. >> more we read, more fascinating it will be. >> riveting. >> still to come on "action news" tonight, official fears are realized at a california oil spill plus taser take down. concerned flyers

yesterday marked 70 years since end of world war ii in europe. in russia, they marked today as victory day, which means an elaborate display of military might. but as charlie d'agata reports the pageantry was notable not for who was there but who wasn't. >> reporter: russia rolled out the big gun today, high-tech tanks and long-range missile launchers rumbling along red square. 16,000 troops marched to a cordpraffed lockstep while military aircraft roared overhead. cameras were placed in every conceivable position to capture president vladimir putin's parade. but nowhere to be seen today were the world war ii allies that helped bring victory over nazi germany. the orchestrated pageant wasagea boycotted by president obama and the leaders of britain and france because of the ongoing conflict in ukraine. instead putin was joined by leaders from countries like china, india, cuba and venezuela. that wasn't the case 10 years ago when president george w. bush sat right next to putin enjoying dozens more world leaders in honor of the 60th anniversary. the soviet u

china and russia are flexing their alliance muscle in europe's backyard as a way to show they are not afraid to stand up to the west. it's no coincidence that the military drills are taking place after n.a.t.o. and allies launched war games of their own in europe. it followed chinese president xi jinping's visit to moscow, signing million dollar drills. russia has been driven into the arms of its communist neighbour by sanctions imposed. china is more than happy to have a wedge against the u.s. the naval exercises are described as being part of a growing cooperation between the two countries, is this worrying any of america's allies. >> if you were watching the military parade in moscow, victory day on may the 9th, you would have seen what one russian common fator would have said was an inspiration of standing. no significant western leaders, the staff foreign attraction was the chinese leader, sitting next to vladimir putin, talking amiably together. though there is a friendship, what we do not have is a formal military alliance. interestingly, the chinese ships on their way to the m

gas giants, president putin, and xi signed energy deals pivoting russia away from europe.u think of today's top stories by following me on twitter, i am @ yvonnemanntv. how are the markets looking this morning, david? david: it is looking good. it is a positive reaction. i want to mention japan. clearly a heavy turnover there on the nikkei index. and itlook at the charts will be very hard to visualize, but it seems very well supported. i just checked that chart before i came on. 19,428 seems to be the level. let's bring it back into hong kong. things, yous of have the rate hike, rate cut -- rate cut, rather. financials is what you want to keep your eye on. on the brokers, that is these guys here, financial services. they have been on an absolute tear. jpmorgan is saying that the good news has been priced in. if you want to be specific year, galaxy is thes, least preferred among the chinese brokerages. that is simply because they are vulnerable to rate compression. by the way, this group of stocks is also getting a lift. money market rates in china are continuing to show th

europe. we go to russia, turkey, and investors like the diversity of situations. : compensate some of the disappointments that may be emerging and provide for more growth and also uncertainty. they finally at last like europe for what it is, a safe haven. caroline: they have kind of fallen out of favor for that reason. marc: china has fallen out. central and eastern europe, including russia have gone up 8%. north america has also come back from a tough spot a few years ago from the crisis. caroline: russia is fascinating. marc: long-term bets, on the fact that it will probably get better. they will solve the geopolitical obstacles it is facing. probably some investors including chinese companies and european companies not circumventing the sanctions, but making sure they can still do business in russia. the long-term, as is a critical economy for us. caroline: the u.k. is sort of the number one spot when it comes to the eu. what about concerns of an eu exit, we have david cameron trying to woo some of the leaders. will that distract in the next year? marc: the poll

pg ps is a you a system, other systems in europe and russia. as those involved, accuracy will be improving to get information on the actual location. emily: why with the german automakers want to partner with baidu? >> the german automakers are interested in high definition maps. by do is interesting. baidu is one of the major map properties in china. very successful and very good. i thinkbaidu as a strong interest and you could see them becoming a big buyer in this. although their maps are good, it is in china. nokia has maps outside of china. what would seem to make more sense is to help baidu get out of china and go to a more worldwide market. emily: how do you expect this to play out? >> if i were looking at who should buy them, the automotive guys have a huge amount at risk if they do not secure some position. having said that, the advantage of the mobile internet companies have is they are growing so fast, they can think about the company they will be in two years. that could be a bigger company and may justify an investment that the auto

simply decided that every president over the last half century has been wrong on cuba wrong on europe and russiaand china? >> what's been unfolding is nothing short of stunning, to watch the geopolitical policy decisions that the president is making, and certainly this one with cuba is remarkably similar to what he was doing with iran. he believes that a peaceful overture in iran nuclear negotiations will lead to iran joining the community of nations as a result of a decision on those negotiations. he believes that cuba by giving them diplomatic recognition and supporting their endeavors in the region will somehow get this communist totalitarian repressive regime to join the community of nations. there is nothing that supports that. all of our allies, none of our allies agree with it, and it's arrogant, and it's naive to watch this unfold. lou: and in the middle east the president seemingly acquiescing to iranian demands and negotiations over nuclear weapons limitations which will amount effectively to two to three months a breakout period, whatever the result of that discussion, if it does lead

and europe are trying to ensure russia and china won't veto the restoration of a u.n. sanctions against iran. if the iranians violate an agreement. they have a history of opposing automatic measures and it has become a sticking point. >>> hillary clinton taking a stand in a path to citizenship. the former secretary of state met with young people at a high school in las vegas where 70% of the students are hispanic. she said hard working immigrants that contribute to the economy should not be thrown away. >> i will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for you and for your families across our country. i will fight to stop partisan attacks on the executive actions that would put dreamers including those with us today, at risk of deportation. and if congress continues to refuse to act, as president, i would do everything possible under the law to go even further. >> republican presidential hopeful carlie slamming the idea. she had choice words for the former secretary of state. >> unfortunately, i think she's pandering. i think we need to sta

if russia did what it's done in ukraine to a nato ally in eastern europe, how would nato respond? >> nato is committed to defending the allies. >> reporter: you would go to war with russia. >> we will defend any nato nation that is attacked by any nation. >> reporter: if nato approves the permanent deployment of ground troops to the baltic states, it will undoubtedly anger russia, and scott that's because moscow already accuses of west of encroaching on russian interests. >> pelley: holly williams in brussels tonight home of nato headquarters. holly, thank you very much. the u.s. senate is expected to vote tomorrow on a two-month extension of most of the provisions of the patriot act the antiterrorism surveillance law that's due to expire june 1. republican rand paul has been trying to block the extension on civil liberties grounds. he filibustered yesterday for nearly 11 hours before finally calling it quits just before midnight. the most controversial part of the patriot act allows the national security agency to collect and store the phone records of americans.

we face emerging threats from both state actors you mentioned the threat that russia poses to europe,the threat that iran poses not just in the nuclear arena, the threat of the dprk, a rising china which is not yet a military threat but if left them at that relationship is not managed carefully, it could become one. so we are state issues with the state actors and we've got a large body of nonstate actors al-qaeda, other groups that have aligned themselves. and for the first time in my career they are both manifesting themselves simultaneously. this is not a time to be withdrawing from the world. >> the senator from rhode island, senator reed. >> thank you very much mr. chairman. thank you, mr. secretary, for your health is one. thank you, general dempsey, for your service. i think you'll thank you to the brilliant first class been -- >> how could i have forgotten? >> just for the record. but thank you for extraordinary service to the nation and your testimony today. in regard to the proposals to move oco money prevent and to do things that might help defense commute indicated general

now we see europe threatened by i.s.i.l. in the south russia in the east. >> it's not just europe that's faced by these challenges, it is nato expel and nato has assured the peace since the second world war, not the european union it's nato of which the united states and canada are key members. britain will lose its independent nuclear deterrent under the european union led by germany when britain invented the atomic bomb, and now germany will control its nuclear deterrent, we will lose our permanent seat on the united nations county to security council to europe. and probably the second one will be given ochina. these are enormous. you see it in cameron's budget. he says there will be a defense review. i hear from my contacts in england the rumors are the british army will be cut below 100,000, some say below 50,000, less than the policemen in new york less than 1770 when there were less than 10 million britons, that is incredible, just to fit in with the european union, just like his devolution idea devolution, each of which will be a region

observation would be that if they decided to do that russia would see that not as a protest of corruption in sports but as a political move by europend russia and people know how bad the relations are between the eu and that is a diplomatic incident and what political leaders say the moment is about supporting the replacement of blatter where it would effect their relationship with russia is a different question and in the end the best hope might be if blatter is arrested but given how he is and if the switzerland wants to go down the road of arresting him is very much up to question. >> live in zurich and thank you so much and as lawrence was reporting a moment ago we are about three hours away from the vote of fifa and it's political and we will turn it over to robin adams to talk about this. >> 209 members in total and each get a single seat in the ballot and home to the well think leagues and club and europe gets 53 votes and they made it very clear the confederation supplies with prince ali and south america will support blatter and have ten votes and governs north and central america and caribbean and at the heart of the corr
