when he told putin that russia was essential to the peace of the world and of europe he was if you like tearing up in front of putin's face the march resolution of the european parliament which proclaimed that russia was no longer a strategic partner of the e.u. back home was saying that russia has to be a strategic partner of the e.u. so in terms of the e.u. as a body. this is absolutely in contradiction with the official texts and the policy of the brussels institutions but it is not in contradiction with the bilateral policy of other european states because what we haven't been noticing president putin has been all over the place in europe he was in rome in july it was in finland in august he was received in austria last year he's been to hungary he's been to serbia it's not as if russia is isolated anymore from any european state except from britain. and therefore france is initiative is european in the true sense of europe in the old tradition of european diplomacy but not of the faith diplomacy of the brussels institution luke luke weigh in on this here because i mean it i get it

and for that reason i would not support any public funding being spent on space whether i was in russia europe or the united states it should be left to private enterprise people like elon musk space x. . else who are rich and left of them but i think we should cheer them on because they can take higher risks. that any western nation could impose on publicly funded civilians so they can do comprise high risk ventures and my prediction is that by the end of a century there will be small communities. sent by these private event. himself as if he wants. but not on impact and i think he's 47 years old now so of course he might make that so i think there will be small communities but what i don't think is that the mass emigration and i think is a day just illusion to talk about. even more foolish to think of it as desirable. i want to talk about climate change i mean it is so real i don't know what else should it take for everyone to realize it's here and we should be taking care of it not tomorrow or a day after but we should have done it 10 years ago 20. but not much is being done to be quite hon

engagement to the ukrainian government require ukrainian security assistance funds and to dscounter russia across europe and also to express solidarity with ukrainian people to impose new sanctions on russia and eastern ukraine. such as the shipping sector in cyberattacks. mister president i want to be clear i know we are in regular order but we are in a crisis potentially of constitutional proportions to go to the heart of our democracy and how you respond and to find our willingness to defend the rule of law and live up to the article one responsibilities. president trump is in the way of congressional efforts to support ukraine in all of europe in the case of russian aggression this time when the acting director of national intelligence refuses to disclose to congress the whistleblower from the conversations as he is mandated to do so it's time for this congress to stand for article one powers we need to act quickly to send a message to the white house and to the kremlin anything that we have line from president trump is with lawlessness it's time to remind the american people whether the rules of la

russia which is the one of the biggest markets. last couple years will be. exporting a lot so you know it's it's going to northern europe. russia's foreign minister says the american failure to issue visas for the 10 members of russia's delegation at the u.n. general assembly was unacceptable made the comment during talks with his u.s. counterpart in new york. us democrats intensified their efforts to topple donald trump now giving the president have used his powers by soliciting help from a foreign state for the 2020 election. campaign it's accused the u.k. government of failing in its commitment to protect young girls from female genital mutilation so after britain's high court accepted it was powerless to prevent the home office from deporting a 10 year old deemed to be a risk of being forced to undergo the procedure. this is from moscow warm welcome to the program a full hour of news we're kicking off this hour because later on we're expecting the russian delegation to address the u.n. general assembly will bring that to you live we're going to wind back a few hours 1st though the russian foreign minister has criticiz

europe to do this they need to weaken the economic ties between germany and europe and specifically between germany and russia that's the whole point but they've only partially succeeded as we know for many years russian gas has flow to europe especially germany without interruption so the construct of this gas pipeline is in the interest of germany and it will be built i think the behavior of the u.s. president is encouraging europeans to change their minds about america of course the u.s. is a major economic part of europe germany partners do not behave as the americans are behaving because germany and europe are not a colony of the united states and. are hurdles closer to home to to is also currently suing the european union for imposing regulations which the project lawyers argue will jeopardize investment in the scheme. nord stream to a.g. has now decided to ask the arbitral tribunals to determine that the european union is in breach of its international law commitments under the energy charter treaty and to make orders requiring the you to discontinue its breach the use extending its jurisdiction to cov

because europe is always alive and peaceful when there is good and friendly relations to russia and what the nato is do is totally the opposite you know and you know like me that is not the only step we have reconstructed to bridges that the tanks from western europe can move much quicker to the border to russia we are building much more facilities military bases all western european countries including germany so it is absolutely the wrong way we need the opposite russia was giving the answer it would use the military budget nato has now one trillion military budget for 2019 russia about 65000000000 so we have to reduce military budgets as a step for trust building and for coming back to oppose of common security. you may have answered most of this point but i just wanted to expound perhaps why is the polish leadership so eager to see more u.s. troops and bases in their country. you know there is a history of poland which is not an easy history in relation to russia and germany even by understand the history and the fear of of poland in many many cases the answer is wrong and i

in europe, russia invaded and occupied ukraine. in east asia, china has claimed virtually all the western pacific contrary to international law has built artificial islands in the western pacific and has installed military facilities on them. and in the middle east iran has used paramilitary groups to expand its influence throughout the region and has pursued nuclear weapons. the heart of the rise and fall of peace on earth is three chapters that describe and explain how and why peace came and disappeared from each of these three regions. it's a complicated story in each case. but all three cases have all one thing in common. in each region for each of these countries that have disturbed the peace, the aggressive foreign-policy that ended the piece at a domestic cause. each of the three governments is a dictatorship. so each of them depends for the continuation of its rule, ultimately on coercion and repression. for a variety of reasons, each one wants as much public support as possible and each conducted these aggressive foreign p

the ouster freaked russia out so much, putin decided to actually invade ukraine. ukraine is the largest country in europe, after russia. it has a more than 1,000-mile border, sitting right between russia and western europe. then putin seizes crimea on the black sea. it is the first time since world war ii that the borders of a country in europe were changed by outside military forces. in response, waging a low grade war, western nations led by the united states under president barack obama took steps to punish russia. there were strict new sanctions against the russian oil and gas industry that really hurt the country's fragile economy. eventually scuttling what would have been a very lucrative deal with exxon-mobil. the g-8 countries decided to become the g-7. kicking russia out. all of that happened after russia invaded ukraine in 2014 under president obama. vladimir putin really, really, really wanted those sanctions lifted. they were really painful, really hurting him politically at home. which is a problem. even if you prevent anyone else from running against you, you can only hold on to power for s

the relations between russia and europe continue to be frosty with sanctions dog place of the conflict in ukraine of course on resolve now as a result moscow has been looking continually to the east for new friends but there are 2 history and sometimes good in the way. russia india and japan that the east an economic forum. this judo tournament is entertainment for the world leaders here but one of the key discussions at the summit is how to end a territorial dispute between japan and russia which began in 1905 there were a couple 3 letters concluded a peace treaty and unleashed in one fell swoop a few limited potential that the people of our 2 countries hold on but with an organ a link between japan and russia would transform the entire region and it would change the world significantly. putin himself a well known practitioner of judo refused to commit to that. but with india's new render modi offering to invest $1000000000.00 in russia that search for new friends is going well. and stuff your president might call recently said the leadership of the west is ending. and i cannot imagin

russia out so much. ukraine is the largest country in europe after russia. it has and russia and western europe. putin sees part of the ukraine. he seized crimea, it is the first time since world war two since the borders of a country in europe were changed by outside military forces. in response, waging a low grade war, western nations lead by the united states under president barack obama took steps to punish russia. there were strict new sanctions against the oil and gas industry that really hurt the country's fragile economy. it could have been a lucrative deal. the g 8 countries decided to become the g 7. the u.s. congress passed a military action. vladimir putin really, really, really wanted those sanctions lifted. they were really painful, really hurting him politically at home. even if you prevent anyone else from running against you, you can only hold on to power for so long if your economy is in the tank and your people blame you for it. then from the mueller report, every notable contact the trump campaign had was at sanctions. the tower meeting between donald trump junior and the kre

and russia you can compare to its nose in europe that is part of the european union is saying it was part of the european union just for 15 years now come on you're comparing apples and oranges consider. this tell you that russia is much better than russia that is and you need this in russia they are going to go as big or 3 or 4 years ago you also rode for putin the period of time since 2014 has been characterized by and i'm quoting you here the gradual loss of strategic initiative and this is a very common assertion among the critics of the kremlin but i don't understand what. initiative is supposed to be making live better or at least managing it as it is a good example of the people fund it is masses doesn't have qualify there is no inside interest seeing as people can drink a real. what happened was what so called russian middle class before the crisis and so it was a day we saw growing. middle class office managers freelancers those who work generally in service know who's a russian middle class. civil servants celebrex those w

europe this will never pass into law. a 20-to vote is a pretty compelling reputation. if that passes, the project project will stop in its tracks. that will hurt russia's aggressive militarism. it will benefit europe. it will benefit america. it will benefit freedom. we can use the tools that we have. let me use one final example. iran sanctions. i mentioned before that i consider the threat of a nuclear iran the greatest threat facing america. hand-in-hand with that i believe the greatest national security blunder of modern times was the obama iran nuclear deal. it literally gave $100 billion to a zealot who wants to murder as many americans as possible. the single most important national security decision made eye the trump administration has been with drawing from that. pulling outou of the disastrous iran nuclear deal. saying we are not going to funds the state sponsor of terrorism. we will not send billions of dollars that will be used to develop nuclear weapons that will be used to spread terrorism, that will be use to murder america. there was a major battle over whether to pull out of that agreement. both the state department of defense departm

expert in a lot of students think it's going to northern europe. russia's foreign minister says that america's failure to issue visas for 10 members of russia's delegation at the u.n. general assembly was unacceptable made the comment during his u.s. counterpart in new york. us democrats intensify their efforts to topple donald trump now giving the present. interviews his powers by soliciting help from a foreign state for the 2020 election. rights campaigners accused u.k. government of failing in its commitment to protect young girls from female genital mutilation so after britain's high court accepted it was powerless to prevent the home office from the.

effect of this is that it's creating tension both between poland and russia and between russia and the rest of europe because of course poland is a part of europe now if we can move beyond this and the french and german peril though is i think a valid then we can start to get towards a peaceful situation in eastern europe like the one we have in west europe where wars no longer are really conceivable one with perhaps a car coming just as no reason there's no reason in principle why the generosity or break of the war should be a divisive and cursory in principle issue to unify the bursar you know the starting point for that unity is that it was hitler's war hitler or the nazis nazi nazi germany wasn't star it wasn't narcisso it back wasn't even the british and french appeasers or you know the pre-war polish government it was hitler it was hitler's war and that's that's where everyone can unite around this is being anti. him and they're telling america's presence there actually confirm. ideally the sins of the past germany and of course like 10 years ago when you had to 75 out of 3 there was a similar

europe. and these people you know who criticize russia. for you know seemingly justifying that act they don't want to do it i hope so they should be consequential the other interesting moment that i think is important you know basically we are forced to defend ourselves because despite our russian desire to say goodbye to the past and to ask for forgiveness and be forgiven the west coast and he reminds us all of our guilt and presses you know that bottom there. for example even said that it's a spanish newspaper just yesterday you know this article if the pact which is responsible for tens of millions of deaths so it's not he to it's the pack that is responsible if that bag has been culled the 2 days continued to would be divided between 2 parts so we have separate junk up here what would happen i don't like subjunctive history but since the junk tip is used against us then i will use my subjective if hitler invaded not just poland you know i'm told that future soviet border if he invaded the whole poland up to means up to kiev you know wh
