other text messages we need to rebut i mean it certainly is suggestive you know russia is really not the bar to russia russia gate is about security serious is the american intelligence community. and constitutionally. in syria itself into the american politics russia is it is about american media that instead of doing its job he's doing the bidding of the cia though the f.b.i. and other agencies did as their total state can talk about an elected officials who special connected with special interests within me and the we all did is what rush again is about this i think we all agree on that and not only you know the media is acting on this but you know the partisan divide. there's always the hope that enough republicans will be outraged by trump's behavior to swing this because we have to remember that russia is a smokescreen designed to keep this going until midterm elections so the democrats can ride this out and then they can push for impeachment why because impeachment is not a legal process it's a political process so it's a vehicle is a vehicle for them to go after trial but it doesn't necessarily have

your message to fellow democrats, it's dangerous for us to just run on impeachment, impeachment, russia, russia, you know, anti-trump, anti-trump, to win to retake even say the house? do your fellow democrats need a much more thoughtful, proactive message? >> we have to be honest and the honest truth we're nowhere close to 218 votes to start impeachment. part of being honest also is when asked the question, have impeachable offenses been committed, i think anyone who takes the time to look into this, has to conclude that they have. we should be spending, in my opinion, about 80% of our time talking on issues, talking about issues like daca, like better jobs, like an economy that works for everyone, investing in infrastructure, broadband to better served areas and 20% of our time on the other part of our job to hold the president accountablep that includes a conversation about impeachment and 259th amendment and a dangerous president doing damage to this country and the world. >> you see what you would deem impeachable offenses. we don't know the results of the mueller investigation or congressi

liz: cnn political analyst, you know, getting -- talking about the russia, russia, russia probe. ysts suggesting the mueller investigation is no longer about russia collusion. it's about something entirely different. roll tape. >> this is not an abstract academic investigation into what might have happened with russian hacking. this is a guy who locks people up for a living and has spent his whole career doing it who is looking for evidence of crimes and trying to track down where and when and who might have been involved anything. any crime. broadly conceived, including obstruction. liz: so the christopher seal dossier is thought to launch the russia probe. that has been rejected as unproven. and now it's about obstruction. wait a minute. taxpayers are paying millions of dollars on the mueller investigation and now it's about president trump firing jim comey? what's going on here? >> well, that will play out as it will. but i think right now, the american people deserve just the facts. nothing more. just the facts as they come out. and unless it damages national security, which t

now last year, it was all russia, russia, russia. now it's deep state messings with the election and colluding with the russians. what a switch. >> what narrative changed didn't it you saw founders and with the damage control op-ed in "new york times" this morning trying to push back on a lot of the criticisms of their firm and the seal dossier but learn more about the justice department and fbi and their behavior seemingly bipartisan while they're doing a u judicious investigation of hirnght i think basic americans who were just watching this from the periphery they looked stuff we're learning and say that doesn't seem right. i don't know about your company stuart but i know my company we have basic security protocol too if i'm putting pass word many a yahoo! e-mail and sending them to somebody i would have disciplinary action. how is it that number two person at the sate department under hillary clinton with sate secrets on her laptop why does she walk away free. that doesn't seem right. >> do you think that the tide has turned this

was "'uge," but the political story that really dominated the past year is [singsong voice] russia, russia, russiaoice ] we'll probably still be talking about russia's election meddling for years to come, and the president isn't happy it's commanded so many headlines, insisting there was no collusion between his campaign and the russian government. now, we know, in may, a special counsel was appointed, and one of the big reasons that happened was because of fallout from the firing of former fbi director james comey. comey leaked private memos, detailing his interactions with president trump to a friend who was a journalist. he says the president tried to persuade him to end the investigation into former national security advisor michael flynn. that led the president to suggest there might be tapes of their conversations. >> look, i've seen the tweet about tapes. lordy, i hope there are tapes. i remember saying, "i agree he's a good guy," as a way of saying, "i'm not agreeing with what you just asked me to do." >> lordy! we also found out there were no tapes. so far, in the special counsel p

despite the new defense strategy focusing in targeting mainly russia russia is still looking to cooperate with the united states and russia is not going to be shying away from dialogue we spoke just in the last hour to a guest gregory koppel who suggested that this really was about the u.s. playing catch up trying to make its own forces as as modern as russia certainly has and also in china and that's that's a word modernization that was used by the u.s. defense secretary what is the doctrine actually promising well another word used by the u.s. defense secretary was fundamental. this is how he characterized this modernization that he's been talking about and mostly the pentagon is going to be focusing on space on cyber security and on its nuclear program so in terms of cyber security there are going to be overhauling the whole thing really we don't know the details yet but obviously big big big changes are coming up especially with all of the russia and china hackers craze in terms of the nuclear program they're seeing it as a reaction you know a sort of a reaction to what russia has been doing in this sphere and if you'

tensions between russia and iran russia in turkey is increasing and it's way bigger than during the materia. phase of the conflict as for the. the prospects that would also depend on how russiawould push him pressure us it's government so death that the russia is interested in quite fast political risk because it needs to demonstrate its successes ok because if it will fail if it fails to deliver on its promises it its image as a capable partner which can keep its allies in syria in damascus in check would would be damaged ok mr nudge elicit a little bit about one of the key players has been a little bit distancing itself from the syrian government which is the united states of america can the americans this time bring about a significant change to the course of this conflict. i mean definitely since the. administration came to power they invested more militarily in syria which is giving them today more leverage than they used to have before two thousand and sixteen. and but i think that the american approach towards syria or this. is more of a decentralized. if we can put it in the stern as they are trying to consolidate or to transform this area of the minute i ordered the

if there's any day to be watching ari, it is, russia, russia, russia. >>> we do begin with breaking newse russia probe. >> tonight i can report that this tuesday january 23 clearly marks an inflection point in bob mueller's russia investigation. we don't know why so many russian stories are leaking out right now, but here's what we do know, four big

russia was only mentioned briefly one seen as we looked at it is really listening to what he was saying he mentioned the rival power of mean what you say you didn't speak more about russia. and so that was very interesting to me because i think that you know all we hear all you hear from mainstream media outlets throughout the u.s. constantly is russia russia russia this dossier trump alluding things like that i don't think he wanted to give it any credence because it has been rather ridiculous there has been no evidence of any sort of colluding between trump himself and the russians or anything within the within the campaign so i think he wanted to really minimize that he wanted to focus on actual threats and other things like that he was very careful in his word choice in this speech where is he talked about rogue nations things like that he was very careful to mention russia as a rival not as an aggressor not as an enemy not as anything else like that not to somebody is subverted things like that and so that's what he wanted to do was make it so that it's we're going to touch on it and they we're going to let it go this is a rival it's a powerful country we need to play in the ball game if we're going to do this and drop obama has not played in that ball game so we're going to up that ante and so he quickly moved on and i think t

if there's any day to be watching ari, it is, russia, russia, russia. >>> we do begin with breaking news in the russia probe. >> tonight i can report that this tuesday january 23 clearly marks an inflection point in bob mueller's russia investigation. we don't know why so many russian stories are leaking out right now, but here's what we do know, four big stories and they all interlock because each story implicate the question of whether the president has obstructed justice and whether president trump is still trying to obstruct justice in an ongoing way. first, bob mueller just interviewed jeff sessions, the attorney general, we know this because sessions' team is confirming it to the "new york times." second, bob mueller has completed his interview of jim comey, the former fbi director, we know that because the comey interview then leaked to the same times reporter. that's not all. the times report that the interview focused on trump and the alleged request to drop the investigation of mike flynn, a key topic because trump went on to fire comey and that flynn went on toer coopera ecoop

than we can do if the threat is real, talking to my european counterparts every week, it is russia russia russia, information warfare, call it what you will, physical interference as well, these threats are very real, we have made progress assisting them, protecting elections in the last we 10 months, we have done good work alongside them so we not only have russian information a lot of others not just russia engaged in active measures against western democracy around the world. >> we are in the era of hybrid war and the ability to use cyber is part and parcel of the effort to destabilize other countries, is becoming not only more effective, it is becoming the kind of tool of preference because it is a way to do it that doesn't necessarily cost lives. it can be very disruptive. it is incredibly important having been attacked the way we were that we develop defenses to make sure it doesn't happen again and work with other countries to develop defenses. the russians are going to do this. they saw what we did here and they will do it in catalonia and elsewhere wherever there are elections. they wil

and for over a year you have been subjected to russia, russia, russia, collusion, y collusion, collusionthe only thing missing are facts, facts, facts. the media desperately repeating those words daily hoping that somehow if they say it enough it's going to come true. here's the problem, it's not true. there is to date zero evidence president trump colluded with russia, none. whatsoever. doesn't exist. so the media now need a new conspiracy theory that they can pass off as news to get themselves, well, back on theirr drug, get hooked again. in one sense, it's sad, because these people really need help. they have no, let's say, they don't want to adhere to truth anymore. that's the sad thing. if you think about it for a second, does the media ever --dash when you watch the news do they ever talk about anything donald trump that he did is good, any good news? any good news with the economy? or are they just obsessed with tearing this president down because they never thought he'd win? do they ever talk about the american people, solutions for health care, getting people out of poverty, off

russia russia this week r.t. jacqueline vega has the details. the past five days have seen a frightening trend creeping up in russia with three different attacks occurring at schools. and all of those cases the young perpetrators used basic weapons not an axis as that was likely all that they had at their disposal and a disturbing online trend also linked these incidents our sources believe that violent online groups that center around tragedies like the columbine high school massacre may also be a common factor just to remind you the columbine tragedy took place in the u.s. back in one thousand nine hundred ninety two students armed to the teeth killed twelve of their classmates and a teacher and that horrific massacre is apparently inspiring violence and children who weren't even born when it happened it's so popular that the followers of such groups even have a name for themselves columbine years now russia's version of facebook called v.k. has dozens of these pages open to all we did a simple quick search and found scores of them with post that promote violent behavior things like describing the power someone feels when they have a gun in their hand

russia in this conflict and how it pans out. well this operation of turkey could only have happened with the permission of russia russia controls the airspace in syria and turkey is relying very heavily on air support for this operation to moscow was the one that allowed this operation to go ahead and going forward moscow's corp is seen as key to has a major player in this ongoing conflict but there will be concerns in moscow if turkey continues to expand its operation too far then that there will be the fear that turkey has too much influence and it brings the possibility of clashes with the damascus regime and even possibly iran will be unnerved by a growing presence of turkey in syria during films in istanbul thank you very much for that assessment. well tech is offensive in syria is having political repercussions here in berlin germany regularly since weapons including tanks to its need to ally and those weapons are being used in this offensive that some german will make us illegal contracts to upgrade the tanks are being now put on hold and. relentless heavy shelling in northwest syria turkish forces step up their offensiv

pro-rebel this whole blame russia game continued at the security council on that same mickey haley statements were more about russia than anything else she even accused russia of killing the joint investigative mechanism but at the meeting russia said that the joint investigative mechanism became a political tool and called for an impartial investigation into all cases of chemical weapons use in syria including the joint investigative mechanisms new reports that we're not going to accept any russian proposal that undermines our ability to get to the truth or that politicizes what must be an independent and impartial investigation. of the fact that the us dismissed all proposal right from the start reveals the truth that they do not need an impartial investigative mechanism even though several other member states supported the proposal of a new impartial investigation the us rejected it saying that it's ready to bring back the old joint investigative mechanism quote but all other suggestions are unacceptable. well a mechanism similar mentioned there was established in twenty fifteen by the un security council along with the organization for the prohibition o

russia. the ambitions of russia to be a superpower and to be equal with america, i think they understand very well the fundamental strength of russia. they cut russia in two, that is where the most power is. that's in the long run. in the immediate future, he needs iran as a way of pressuring america. putin was saying russian weapons never will be used against israel. when we have the second level, they saw this package of antitank missiles used against our soldiers, and many soldiers were killed. look at the box. then damascus, syria. it is the fact that it has become such a huge strategic steps. hezbollah, syria, and iran, is far more powerful than in the past. terrorists are connected to the power of syria, the iranian army. it does matter how good -- it doesn't help us from this point. peter: i'm going to ask you a final yes or no question, because we are running out of time. if we invite you next year, will you come back? natan: with such great statements, of course. i am happy to be in your house. it is a powerhouse of ideas. peter: on behalf of the director, i'm inviting you back. natan: to my accomplices, i can't say no. pe

that sort of news i would like to move on to russia is russia currently a security threat for the u.s. sure it is. russia is the only other nation that possesses the ability not necessarily the will but the ability to destroy the united states or. the other members of the alliance. and their behavior of the last three years since they invaded ukraine has gotten has raised the concern of everybody including all members of the alliance all members of the european union. and it's it's the kind of thing that i think nobody wants that conflict is not inevitable we all want russia to be a part of the responsible community of responsible they ask me not with their current that they're not on the right path not right now we what we would like to see them back on the path of responsible behavior as a great power and it's a great nation great people great history so many places where we could cooperate with them but they don't cooperate with you anymore well they've not lived up to any agreement that they've signed including minsk and other treaties unless you really put pressure on them to do that that's a good p

it seemed one of the overall themes of lab rob's remarks was russia russia's efforts to stabilize the world and reduce the level of terrorism and instability around the world in different regions he voiced some criticism of u.s. leaders and some frustrations that over all other theme was an effort to kind of get along with countries around the world and create stability in parts of the world that have been unstable and plagued by terrorism violence and extremism and. the ring is right it today live from new york. the right leaning alternative for germany or a. proposed very fine the age of all migrants coming to the country an idea that's been roundly condemned by all of the parties in the bundestag peta all of it has more. well if alternative for germany thought that getting into parliament was going to be the hard part they've certainly been brought down to earth with a bump over the last couple of days as parliaments reconvened here for the twenty eight hundred. the f.d.a. put forward changes they wanted to see two laws relating to asylum and refugee status here particularly when i

russia? yeah. that russia, putin's russia. the adversary. the bad actor russia. by the way we don't even have enough uranium as it is. and maybe you follow the money if it was donald trump and $145 million pouring into the clinton foundation and her covers while while she is secretary of state from the very people involved in this particular deal. again, if it was donald trump, i know you would be all over it and, of course, you would want to know, oh, was there a quid pro quo? was that pay to play? of course you don't want to know that truth. let's go back to this new narrative coming from the fake news media that conservatives hate out fbi. the exact opposite is true. now, on this show, if you have watched this is now my 23rd year. i have always respected the men and women in law enforcement. policemen, firemen, paramedics, i respect the intelligence community and, of course, the fbi. and even the cia. yes, i respect the hard work they do. now the biased press, they are the ones who have this history of utter disdain for members of law enforcement, for example,

russia. but it focused on russia. describe those policies and -- in those policies as being based on the assumption that engagement with russia and its inclusion in international institutions in global governance would turn it into a benign actor and a trustworthy party. the national security strategy said that this premise has turned out to be false. do you agree with the national security strategy? >> i do not think that the premise that engagement with russia is destined to fail. especially if you look over the long run. what we have seen is an increase of russia acting out both in its periphery in europe and here in the united states. looking back, i think we could also see that there were some missed opportunities. the goal of integrating russia into both international and economic institutions, the imf, the wto and the world bank after the fall of the collapse of the soviet union, but also norms based institutions like the council of europe. i think that was the right choice to make then. going back to your question about, was this inevitable. there was a certain original sin where the x kgb elitists captured the instit

pleased of course that britain has signed the arms trade treaty something russia hasn't and we need to persuade russia and coerce russia to do that and we need to make sure that we do that in a diplomatic way not in a aggressive way but the danger is that if we keep watering down our own requirements we will become no better than russia no better than iran and that is not what we should do. they have been selling arms to countries ready to. go to reenter yes but what i mean in terms of arms sales we become no better in the sense that we don't have an independent body monitoring the russian around sell weapons according to political decisions rather than looking at the whole humanitarian issue you can make sure those weapons are not going to be used to breach international humanitarian law you can make sure that those weapons we know that britain is really the center arguably over.
