something but interestingly enough the russian collusion russian influence russian fake news russia russia russia russia created and took off with the momentum that in three half years or whatever we are still pursuing this and it's fascinating it is a fixation n o c d. proliferation this dispersed several ration over this but this first and today i find almost comical it's not false it's true but they don't spread enough of the positive truth as well so it's one of the most the better of the new ones critiques so here's my question when you hear a former senior government official describing r t as truthful which flies in the face of everything that we've heard coming from the us except from that famous quote from hillary clinton when she said that we're basically doing a good job or a better job than they were. does this suggest that there is a shift in attitudes towards this network or is this an outlying opinion or is this meant to stoke the fires i mean what do you see happening here. oh absolutely i see to great question i see can juggle palpable tetherball real documentable change in the ferocity

russia russia russia but saudi is doing actual harm you know that's exactly the problem the real culprits in this max the people who have culpability and have i mean the nine eleven investigation disappeared. and now when you had this thing it's just going to slowly fee go with it and they're going to come back if the if i don't know what's going to happen in the midterm elections but if the democrats win they're going to certainly and i don't think they will they definitely won't win the senate but i think that the what they're going to do is try to triple down on the russia russia russia you know it's two years later we haven't seen one shred of evidence one fact based bit of information released i mean it's been entirely made up all right let's switch gears a little bit and talk about markets and talk about a group of stocks you've been following for a while the fangs socalled. facebook app all netscape google all. maybe throw that in there so these stocks have had remarkable runs and now they've pulled back pretty dramatically on this market pullback so. what is your thought on this market at this juncture mitch well you know i think it's one of the grotesque asset bubbles and the last time we spoke which was i think in the end of september we talked about slam is on i'm sorry i mean amazon and it was trading at two thousand dollars a share and i said anybody who buys amazon shares at a trillion dollar valuation should be quite ready to lose a substantial amount of money and in one month amazon shares dropped twenty eight percent from peak to trough so

senate went republican and if they and the house stayed republican you would already be hearing russia russia russia they did something we need hearings they fixed it they did this they did that i promise you you would have heard that but now that the democrats certain house they can't really cry that can day because. there's no basis for it but they can't even make a basis for it because they actually want something so it's hysteria it's been hysteria since day one to discredit donald trump that donald trump is in. you know a pocket that donald trump is indebted to putin putin's going to blackmail him and it's an illegitimate president see that that's what this is all been about from day one make no mistake. now another news today chimneys leading jewish organizations calling for special anti semitism classes for muslim migrants it comes amid a spike in hate crime targeting changed peter all of his more. jewish community leaders in germany say they want to see integration classes for migrants that focus on them saying that this could help stem a rise in anti-semitic incidents in the country many of

russia. i mean, i will tell you right now, zero, i have nothing to do with russia. i have no relationship to russia. i don't deal there. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. i have nothing to do with russia. i have john. john, how many times do i have to say it? are you a smart man? i have nothing to do with russia. i have nothing to do with russia. >> we now know that, in fact, trump had a lot to do with russia. according to michael cohen, trump was trying to build a trump tower in moscow into the summer of 2016, a year after he announced his presidential run and at the height of the campaign, the same campaign the russians meddled in. and as he was about to become the republican party nominee. in fact, according to a new buzz feed report the trump organization even offered vladimir putin, or planned to offer him the $50 million penthouse as a gift. much more on that story with one of the reporters who wrote it coming up. >>> but first, to michael cohen, the long-time trump lawyer and fixer who today went to federal court and pled guilty again, this time to

senate went republican and if they and the house stayed republican you would already be hearing russia russia russia they did something we need hearings they fixed it they did this they did that i promise you you would have heard that but now that the democrats circa house they can't really cry that can day because. there's no basis for it but they can't even make a basis for it because they actually want something so it's hysteria it's been hysteria since day one to discredit donald trump that donald trump is in putin's you know pocket that donald trump is indebted to putin putin is going to blackmail him and it's an illegitimate presidency that that's what this is all been about from day one make no mistake steve malzberg t.v. host and political commentator joining us live from new york here we're not he international many thanks indeed have a good night. my pleasure. i so of course on to america was covering the early stages of the u.s. midterm elections that suck if you some of the highlights these are the midterm elections but certainly no usual midterm elections i'm joined by my colleague scot

now it is over so it is back to russia, russia, russia. this is what they worr ied about. they are worried about whitaker who said things that seemed to be hoes still about mueller. >> if he doesn't recuse himself, nite significance he makes in the mueller investigation is going to have a taint about it was he forced to make a commitment to the president to ignore the advice of ethics lawyers at the justice department and not seek out their advice. was that part of his get ting the job? this president is guided by one thing alone. what's good for donald trump? the country doesn't matter that much. laura: that's typical adam schif f. he's making the conway point. anything he does is in valid. today they announced a new rules or what they want to be the new rules on the migrants, specifically a change to an asylum law. jeff sessions was on board. you had to present yourself at a port of entry. not just coming across the border and saying i want asylum. is that what they are setting up anything whitaker is a part of that can do. >> again unchartered territory. they are certai

which means taxes, national security, russia, russia, russia, and you will see every single member ofbout, 17 investigations good. the democrats are now in charge of that. >> seth: that will be interesting to see. soledad, everybody! check your local listings. we'll be right back.

so if you just say "russia, russia, russia" -- they lied about something having to do with russia, theret be collusion! >> tucker:lu they hacked our election, we are at war. russia! >> right. >> tucker: [laughs] >> barry mccarthy a stick. there is an irony, the new democrats when they take over the house in january, are going to be having hearings about all of this and they are going to start standing a whole heck of a lot like joseph mccarthy. so adam schiff and jerry nadler are the new joseph mccarthys. >> tucker: i do this with my dog with squirrels, so i know. professor, thank you very much, great to see you. >> thanks. >> tucker: stacy adams ran for office in georgia, she lost fair and square. she is not conceding because voter suppression. was there any? we have got the numbers. ♪ capital one cafes. you can get savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. and one of america's best savings rates. to top it off, you can open one from anywhere in 5 minutes. this isn't a typical bank. this is banking reimagined. what's in your wallet? (man) don't ...go...down...oh, no! aaaab

russia, russia, russia.next two year. >> you say we don't know what mueller has. that's true. we don't know what he has. but i think at this point everybody wants the information. they want the questions answered. they want to move on from this. >> we absolutely want the answers and the truth. i agree with you. part of that will be what donald trump says in these answers to the questions that, as you mentioned in the opening, he is currently drafting. we can't get until the end of this until the president gives some answer. he's apparently doing that right now. how long it continues after that will be dependent on what the answers are and what other information mueller has. i think that's the weight of the -- commonsense way to proceed. mueller is trying to get through all of this. there's a lot of issues here. he's indicted a number of people. he's passed off a number of cases -- >> not in relation to collusion though. >> lisa, you have no idea what bob mueller is seeing. you have none. it is much more than

russia, russia, russia. they are worried about whitaker saying things on cnn before it seem more hostile to the idea of mueller. this is what adam schiff said today, let's watch. >> if he doesn't recuse himself, any decision he makes in the mueller investigation is going to have a taint about it. it did he, was he, forced somehow to make a commitment to the president to ignore the advice of lawyers at the justice department, or not to seek out their advice? was that part of his getting the job? because this president is guided by one thing alone, and that is what is good for donald trump, the country doesn't matter that much. >> laura: ignore the pejorative -- that is just typical adam schiff. he is making the conway point about, okay, anything he does is invalid. it today, they announced a new rule for what they want to be the new rules on the migrants coming in, specifically a change to asylum law. it jeff sessions was all on board on all of this, by the way, but that you have to represent yourself at a port of entry, not just coming across te border and saying i want asylum. is that what they are setting up your? anything whitaker is a part of, no? >> they are setting up a situation where they are inviting litigation at every step of the way. for the mueller pro, the key is still rosenstein, a superior officer, if he has any voice, there is really no issue in terms of the appointments clause. but if they clean house, if rosenstein leaves, then you have a viable issue of whether he loses inferior office status and becomes subject to all sorts of motions to dismiss, or subpoenas. it is inviting litigation, but nobody can act like this is essentially -- that the capital is on fire and we're about to lose our democracy. >> laura: david, real quick, a friend of mine mentioned it to me today, it would have been a neato move it to have trump name rod rosenstein to acting attorney general peered his already overseeing the russia investigation, they seem to be getting along, could have done that, right? >> laura, he would be the logical choice, there is no question, he was nominated and approved by the senate. likewise, the solicitor general -- a good candidate and would be a proper person. but i think, i think that they should litigate this issue, and i think that they will. and i do think that justice thomas would be with the people, in accordance with the national labor relations board at case, which is a recent decision, that president trump would not do this. and i think that he should pull back and may be put rosenstein in there, he would be a good choice, why not if they are getting along? >> laura: on a car thanks guys come appreciate it. i'm next, breaking new development in the mass shooting in california. inside a barfield with college students for country not, a sheriff's deputy. one of his former coworkers joins me next. >> our friends got the barstools against the windows so we could get out. so

. >> mike: for two years we've heard russia, russia, russia. would have run. how do you not blame republicans who want to say broward, broward, broward that they have messed it up? >> look, both republicans and democrats are incredibly frustrated with what's happened in broward because as ari fleisher just said, this is a circumstance that seems to happen every election and that's unfortunate and there needs to be a review of what happened and probably a change made at the top in that county. but i think governor scott and congressman desantisbu are still going to prevail, and it's unlikely you're going to see ake 15,000 vote margin overturned in a hand recount. so at that point they should be happy that every vote is counted. again, it was messy, it wasn't handled in the way it should handled in the way it should it wasn't communicated properly but in the end in order to have a valid outcome of the electio, you have to count every vote and that's what's happening. mike: thank you both. glad to you have you both here. >> mike: go ahead. >> thank you. >> mike:

russia because we've stayed away. and i have no loans with russia. i have nothing to do with russia, no investments in russia, none whatsoever. i don't have property in russia. i own nothing in russia. i have no loans in russia. i don't have any deals in russia. i promise you, i never made, i don't have any deals with russia. >> coten sahen said he lied abo long he worked on it. it was going on months longer than he claimed to congress and trump denied it a month later as he was asking russia for help hacking hillary. >> i mean, i will tell you now, zero. i have nothing to do with russia. i built an unbelievable company. if you look there, you'll see there's nothing in russia. russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> and that's not all. cohen admitting he lied when he said he never talked about traveling to russia for the project. he admits he did talk about that and he did communicate about it and he did work on getting donald trump to go. mueller also has the evidence, the e-mails about cohen plotting to visit russia before the rnc convention, writing

russia, russia, russia. >> hallie, you're right. excuse me for looking down at my phone. even as you're introducing this segment, we are hearing from the president. you see the snow, the freezing rain. a storm perhaps brewing inside the white house, certainly one in his head as he escalate this is war with robert mueller. most recent tweets in the last couple of minutes. universities will some day study what highly conflicted and not senate approved bob mueller and his gang of democrat thugs have done to destroy people. robert mueller was, in fact, senate confirmed to be fbi director in 2001 by a 98-0 margin. he was not senate confirmed to be special counsel because that is not required for that post. describing the investigation as a total mess. he says it's gone absolutely nuts. he writes the following, the inner workings are a total mess, have found no collusion, gone absolutely nuts. he writes they are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with answers. they are a disgrace to our nation and don't care how many lives they ruin. a week after he forced his attorney general jeff sessions out, he named matt whitaker as acting ag. and it comes after mike pence had a different take on the mueller investigation when he spoke exclusively to nbc news at the summit taking place in singapore. >> should the american public not be concerned about the special counsel investigation? >> the american people can be very confident that the right steps will be taken. look, this administration has fully cooperated with the special counsel. we literally provided over a million documents to the special counsel. i think the american people can be confident that we'll continue to cooperate. but they can also be confident we're going to continue to focus on the issues that matter most to them. >> the president in the last couple of moments tweeting again, the only collusion is that of the democrats with russia and many others. here your takeaway, hallie. it's obvious there's something on the president's mind as it relates to this investigation. he hasn't said much about it the last couple of months. certainly the two key months before the midterms. why he's saying anything about it now, at least for the moment, is still unclear. >> peter, thank you, on the white house north lawn. see you in a bit, pal. >>> couple of things that may be on the president's mind related to this and why it may be sparking tweets, new twist, new threat from republican lawmakers, at least one, to try to protect robert mueller. kasie hunt is on capitol hill with the latest. discussion about what members of congress might do to set up a shield basically around the special counsel. >> hallie, there is bipartisan support for these efforts. senator jeff flake threatening to stand in the way of moving any additional judicial nominees through the end of the year if, in fact, they don't do something to protect mueller. th

russia. vy i don't have any deals in russia. i have nothing to do with russia. i have no investments in russia. none whatsoever. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. >> well, cohen's plea deal today shows those statements were false. let me go to congressman joaquin castro, sir, you're on the intelligence committee. what does this tell you about trump's believability, what's it tell you about his legal culpability and his impeachability? >> oh, all great questions. well, the first thing is i think the prosecution of michael cohen for lying to congress i think is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to prosecutions for lying to congress by the witnesses who went in front of the house and the senate. there are other folks like roger stone and donald trump junior, i think, who should be concerned about possibly facing prosecutions as well. the other thing is based on the buzzfeed reporting about the fact that vladimir putin may have been offered a $50 million condo in that project, if that's correct, and that's been de

russia. i have nothing to do with russia. i have no investments in russia, none whatsoever. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. >> what do i know about the russians? what do i know about the russians? then they said he borrows money from -- i don't borrow money from the russians. i promise you, i don't have any deals with russia. i had miss universe there a couple of years ago. other than that, no. >> so matt miller, the president now says, okay, i quote lightly looked at doing a building in moscow. maybe all those things i said in the early days of my presidency weren't true. we looked at it. there was no deal to be had. it fell apart. we didn't sign anything. we didn't do anything. so as you look the at this in sum total within the context of the mueller investigation, where the link between president trump and potential collusion, for example? >> so i think the president's right in one sense that it would be very legal for him to work on a real estate deal with russia. i'm not sure it would be cool to do it whil

russia. >> i've nothing to do with russia. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no investments in russia. ver. i have nothing to do with russia. >> joining me now is nbc news chief richard engel in boune necessary aires and peter baker as well. richard, to you. how hard is it to do business in russia? what do you need in order to building some like, i don build something like a trump tower moscow? >> well, to build a massive tower in the middle of moscow, a tower that would be catering to the elite of the country, you would need a lot of political support. this is not the kind of thing that a businessman would just go in and decide to issue a tender and see a building go up. you need massive political connections and many people have written before how building a trump tower in moscow was something that the trump organization has long been interested in doing. and now, according to this latest confession, we know that the trump organization, through michael cohen, was still trying to do it during the campaign and felt that it was important to cover up this fact and lie to congress. i just

or five years russia has been denying its military involvement in eastern ukraine of course nobody in the west believed russia but russia's always said that this is a civil war between russia and ukraine speakers and that russia is not present well this is this takes the conflict into a sort of or away from this sort of hybrid war into a more open a rino where russia is clearly seen from video footage that's available to anybody who wants to see it as an open aggressor. and in that sense it brings the conflict into a different domain as it were. there's no longer any pretense of hiding what russia is up to now so how do you think the incident is being viewed in moscow i mean to the russians see this as a provocation by the ukrainians. russia probably believes all along of course i mean you have to understand the state of russia's heavily controlled state television i mean. seventy percent of russians believe it was the ukrainians are shot down and age seventeen in july two thousand and fourteen the same number of years of russians three quarters of russians believe it was the british intelligence services that chemically poisoned so you gaze cripple in souls very britain i

russia nonsense. russia. russia did it. it was russia.as an excuse by the democrats for losing an election that they should have won because they have a big advantage in the electoral college. they used to say, there is no way for donald trump to get 270. and they were right. we got 306. we got 306. they used that as an excuse. and they always overplay their hand. got some bad people. and you have some good people to o i have to be honest,, but you have some bad people. the contrast in the election could not be more clear. democrats produce mobs. that is what has happened. republicans produce jobs. we are proudly joined by many terrific missouri republicans, including tonight, your great job,nor, done a fantastic mike parsons. mike? [applause] and mrs. parson. great job. thank you. great job. and members of congress, one of them stopped washington about three weeks ago when he started doing his little auction deal, right? billy. does anybody know billy long? i have never heard an auctioneer so good. but he's a great congressman, more impo

russia. i don't deal there. i have no businesses, i have no loans from russia. i don't have any deals in russia. i have nothing to do with russiaone whatsoever. i have no dealings with russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia, because we've stayed away. what do i know about the russians? what do i know about the russians? then they said, he borrows money from them. i don't borrow money from the russians. i promise you, i don't have any deals with russia. i had miss universe there a couple of years ago. other than that, no. i have nothing to do. >> while spending yesterday denying there was anything wrong with a potential deal in russia, president trump also took time to deny actually doing a deal. >> i didn't do the project. i decided not to do the project, so i didn't do it. so we're not talking about doing a project. we're talking about not doing a project. that was a project that we didn't do. i didn't do. i decided ultimately not to do it. this was a deal that didn't happen. that was no deal. it was an option that i decided not to do. we had a position to possibly do a deal to build a b

russia is the same as italy so it's a very strong but. of course russia is a nuclear country russia has got a strong army russia has got a very active and successful we have to organize policy in the middle east in russia just as won a war in in the city are and is respected for that by all countries of the middle east and of course russia is considered especially by the eastern countries of european union as a threat after its military intervention in donbass in summer two thousand and fourteen of but russia is not considered as a threat in in more western countries of europe like italy spain france belgium even the germans don't really think that. russia is a threat to them what kind of influence russia has got i have think that it has been like exaggerated people have said that you know russia had an influence on bragg's it i don't think it is true i think this is all english idea of gregg's it british idea briggs it people have said that russia had an influence on the eat alien elections i don't believe i don't believe so and even people said that you know. russia had an influence on french politics yes it's true that magna pen was received in

russia. i have no deals in russia. i have no deals that could happen in russia because we've stayed away. and i have no loans with russia. i have no investments in russia. none whatsoever. i don't have property in russia. there's no talking to russia, there was no phone calls. i didn't make phone calls to russia, i didn't receive phone calls. i didn't have meetings. i didn't have texts. i didn't have any -- i have nothing to do with russia. nothing to do with russia. >> nothing to do with russia. now, thanks to michael cohen's latest plea deal, it's looking more like that was not true. cohen told congress last year that the moscow project ended in january, 2016, because of, quote, business reasons. now cohen says he lied. his plea reads, quote, the moscow project was discussed multiple times within the company and did not end in january, 2016. instead, as late as approximately june, 2016, cohen and individual two discussed efforts to obtain russian governmental approval for the moscow project. individual two is presumed to be this man, felix seder. seder is a russian born brooklyn bred real estate investor once connecte

russia is russia. is russia ready to you to invest money into this rebuilding it's not just about investing money we are ready to launch full scale work in these sectors of the syrian economy that would be profitable both to us and to the syrian state and the syrian people as part of our joint work. in europe which will be able to create new jobs in syria to restore infrastructure in syria there are a lot of things to do in syria trust me. and you can and should be should it's not just about direct investments. as for the humanitarian component we as you know we are constantly providing humanitarian aid to syria but you and i believe that our european partners are very understanding just in that respect they are ready as well to cooperate with us in these along these committer and lines we've talked about that even in you because in your permission some ball earlier. but. when i talked about the provision of. various. medical aids. and mr crone and others for very understanding and i hope that this work will continue some of the operations have also already been concluded together with france we delivered humanitarian aid to syria using our and french aircraft and i hope that. this work will continue to aided by all the countries interested in restoring syria because only by restoring the country will we be able to which you go provides people with an opportunity to return to their homes to provide refugees with the future. and. of course. a refugee refugee is only can only return to their homes if they want to nobody's going to force them to move out of jordan out of lebanon to go back to their homes but if we create the basic conditions basic infrastructure it tricity. and so on and so forth if we restore all that there will return by themselves the plan which is all we need to do is get rid of all these for. be as we have and to get rid of the political problems political challenges we face and just help the people of the church mr president you just said is that it makes no sense right now to needs in the normandy used in the format so what you're saying is that so long as mr poroshenko is in power the nominee for will not meet and will not do anything right while the current president of ukraine is not interested as we can see in implementing the minsk agreements that are holding a round of ukraine. has agreed. to. to make the. region to change its status box of mr poroshenko did not sign the law. maybe the showers in ukraine change. maybe the new comers will change the situation i don't know it's going to happen we're going to have to wait. for the final question most. of the during a short conversation with the. possibility of a meeting in the coming future no we haven't learned anything so far but we have discussed the the tragedy that happened i'm talking about the downing of four russian plane. of course we know the position of israel they believe that they have nothing to do with the tragedy and we also discussed a number of other issues related to our bilateral cooperation in the region on and in syria on the whole. as for any specific schedules for our upcoming meeting biliteral meeting this wasn't something we discuss no. longer works for fox mr president. believe that taking into account the volatility of the current chemical. market is the and the reason to cooperate with saudi arabia and limit the production of oil now i'm going i'm not going to say anything about limiting the production of oil because every word here is as a very. high weight. and the fact that we need to cooperate with saudi arabia is self evident we are going to cooperate with. them we opec has been. very. positive we have a lot of positive results with opec and according to russian experts. the changes the volatility we see today is temporary the price is very unstable but it. actually split into starts rising again as you know we have discussed this thing as well with mr trump in paris over the last six eighteen months america has also increased the production of oil and gas and it means that they are. importing less and less oil and gas and this changes the global hydrocarbon market as well as well. a lot depends on the price right now the prize has decreased a little. and that is why. there are changes in the markets all of it is related to one need to have an optimal price both for producers and for consumers. petrochemicals and oil products and gas. in the us the previous briers so. was something believed was quite good right now our budget is created taking into account that i'm sure coach oil price will be forty dollars per barrel. but we are going to have it in the coming year this year we're going to have a budget surplus i think. we. last year believed we had one hundred twenty billion dollars surplus. with a very low debt. which is a great basis for continuing our work in a very stable and consistent manner security. and that she. results in terms of g.d.p. growth and structural changes in the economy. that is all things. and there we go live from singapore the wrapping up last day of the us and some of the other russian president vladimir putin speaking to members of the press just to give you a few of highlights on some of the comments being made by the russian president of course of donald trump was not at the summit this year the thirty third annual summit but hootin did have a chance to have a quick chat with the u.s. vice president mike pence on the sidelines they talked about some general issues they taught economics or regional problems in parts of the middle east saying the beg your pardon putin saying that he wants to meet soon he wants to talk about what's going on with the new start treaty the i.n.f. treaty as well that america is pulling out of the iran nuclear issue north korea and its nuclear eyes ation as well the issue of syria was all to also brought up between the press the russian president putin saying that russia is prepared to be largely involved in rebuilding syria infrastructure jobs there's so much to do the russian president was saying constantly providing aid to syria and that recent talks in istanbul with out of the one that merkel and all seem to be very understanding put in quickly saying that only by restoring syria will russia and other countries be able to help refugees to return home where they need the basic necessities infrastructure electricity and clean running water you can find more details on the russian president's comment on our website dot com for the meantime let's get back into our regularly scheduled program. the u.k. secretary has resigned saying he can't agree to the deal proposed by to resubmit that's after the prime minister suggested britain could leave the e.u. with a no deal or

russia. i have nothing to do with russia. i don't have any jobs. no deals in russia. she always likes to tie me to russia. i don't have going to do with russia. how many times do i have to answer this question. russia is a ruse. today when i run for president that doesn't mean i'm not allowed to do business. i was doing lots of different things. obviously after i won i don't do business. but from january 20th and the following year, i ran a business. i often joke about the fact i was the only person in the campaign that campaigned and ran a business. no longer denying ties to russia. do you think that today's development effective lie obliterates his repeated assertions he had no ties to russia? >> nicolle, this is just the tip of a very jagged iceberg called russia. and the iceberg is about to collide with a ship called the white house. dw yes, i think nthat we're learnig on a daily basis at the president has been lying to us about things big and small. i'm confident that this is a huge iceberg that we're about to see collide with the white house. the second thing i'm confident about, nicolle, is that the

russia today. this is v.w. news live from berlin tonight an emergency un security council meeting on russia and ukraine the u.s. accusing russia of an outrageous violation of ukrainian sovereignty if it was russia's seizing of three ukrainian ships off the disputed crimean peninsula ukraine's president says it's a new phase of aggression and has called on parliament to impose martial law in ukraine also coming up tonight british prime minister theresa may intensifies her campaign to get a hostile parliament and a divided nation to support her breaks a deal with the european union lawmakers are due to vote on her plan on december eleventh and the spacecraft inside will reach mars in just a couple of hours scientists hoping to dig beneath the planet's surface to find out how it was formed billions of years ago. i broke off it's good to have you with us we start at that emergency session of the u.n. security council the u.s. ambassador to the you win has accused russia of committing an outrageous violation of ukraine's sovereignty by seizing several ukrainian naval vessels near the disputed crimea region nikki haley warned that the u.s. will retain crimea related sanctions against russia the ukraini

five years russia has been denying its military involvement in eastern ukraine of course nobody in the west believed russia but russia has always said that this is a civil war between russia and ukraine speakers and that russia is not present well this is this takes the conflict into a sort of a away from this sort of hybrid war into a more open rina where russia is clearly seen from video footage that's available to anybody wants to see it as an open aggressor. and in that sense it brings the conflict into a different domain as it were. there's no longer any pretense of hiding what russia is up to now. mexico will to pull up some of the five hundred asylum seekers who it says tried to violently and illegally crossing u.s. border on sunday. told them five thousand of them a camp in the mexican border city of tijuana hoping to gain asylum in america they protested after president trump threatened to hold them in mexico until individual cases ahead by u.s. courts u.s. border agents responded by temporarily clay using a major border crossing into southern california and to guessing those trying to cross over lay on frescoes a former deputy assistant attorney general in charg

russia. listen to this. >> you say you have no investments in russia but do you owe money -- >> i don't have any deals with russia. i had miss universe there a couple years ago, and other than that, no. i own nothing in russia. i have no loans in russia. i don't have any deals in russia. i had the miss universe pageant, which i owned for quite a while, i had it in moscow a long time ago but other than that i have nothing to do with russia. >> rick, what are your thoughts? >> i didn't see anything that he said there that was untruthful. he did not have any deals. the deal was never done. >> should he have said but i do occasionally think about having a trump tower -- >> i think he does lots of negotiations and lots of deals happen and some don't. does he have to disclose everything he is looking into? probably would have been wise to do so but there's nothing criminal about not reporting you are probing into doing a deal, and i think he should have but i don't think there's any legal obligation. >> if you had known the trump organization was negotiating with kremlin officials, what would you have said to candidate trump on a debate stage? >> i would say if you are going to run for president you should have e

of the yield of russia the national product of russia is the same as italy so it's a very strong but. of course russia is a nuclear country russia has got a strong army russia has got a very active and successful we have to work a nice policy in the middle east in russia just as won a war in in the city are and is respected for that by all countries of the middle east and of course russia is considered especially by the eastern countries of european union as a threat after its military intervention in dunbar's in summer two thousand and fourteen of but russia is not considered as a threat in in more western countries of europe like italy spain france belgium even the germans don't really think that. russia is a threat to them what kind of influence russia has got i have think that it has been like exaggerated people have said that you know russia had an influence on bragg's it i don't think it is true i think this is all english idea of gregg's it british idea briggs it people have said that russia had an influence on the eat alien elections i don't believe i don't believe so and even people said that you know. russia had an inf

russia to carry out any kind of invasion at the moment here you mentioned sanctions or there's talk of imposing new sanctions on russia and fully implementing the existing ones how much could that hurt russia. i don't think new sanctions would do any good for us the russia is used to sanctions at this point second it would only bring russia further away from the minsk peace agreement the agreement might never have been really amounted to but all politicians at all levels terry emphasized that there is no alternative to it but the source of all problems isn't from main so the issue of credit and it's the source of many of the sanctions as well the russians have seen the peninsula's for the russians for more than four years now the ukrainian see the peninsula as ukrainian and both sides will certainly not change their positions there for a practical pragmatic solution on the ground just around the straits of kids couch is strongly needed and the political negotiations. we've heard u.s. president donald trump say in an interview let's get angela involved referring to german chancellor angela merkel of course what role could germany possibly play in this column flicked in terms of mediation. i think germany could play a big role anglo-american enjoys a very

russia not having a meaningful place within the european security institutions i wonder if it's a bit larger not just russia's place within the security institutions but generally russia's place in the world and the disagreements that both sides had with regards to that question of what place should russia take in the world when i think i focused on europe and there may be issues and complaints having to do with other regions the world but europe i think has been and the near abroad vision is that a visual has been most important to russia since one thousand nine hundred ninety and remains one of russia's key interests if i read the foreign policy concept correctly. the point is that structurally indeed it would to a large part as nato and the e.u. expanded and more and more decisions were taken in nato in the e.u. russia had less opportunity to participate in the formulation or the taking of key decisions. and in that sense i recognised that russia had had a complaint that needed to be addressed since sometime in the last complaint i think according to you it's a series of complaints that have been voiced repeatedly and repeatedly ignored or dismissed well by some they've been ignored and dismissed i if i could put it very oversimplified because the history i believe this is complex is

russia business deals. let me play that one. >> i know nothing about russia. i know about russia, but i know nothing about the inner workings of russia. i don't deal there, i have no businesses, i have no loans from russia. >> okay. it's amazing that trump 11 months earlier is bragging about what he knows about putin and russia. >> because he's so smart. this resembles a criminal enterprise in the sense that the truth has no bearing on what they say. reality has no bearing on what they say. the only thing that has a bearing is what they think they can get away with in that moment. that's it. that's the bottom line. >> that's been donald trump's m.o. basically since he's become a public figure in the business world. >> yeah. in some ways the 2018 election shows that people -- the 2016 election was all about donald trump, they gave the house election over to the democrats. that's the way the public has presented their ire about the president of the united states. the thing is, is there some other way for the public to present their ire when we find out more and more that the president was connected to russia? while the house will be co

russia there's russia did that russia's response of adverse ruff is responsible for that because it's clear that this is all part of a. concerted campaign to manipulate public opinion. hilary clinton has came to europe needs to curb the mass immigration to prevent the election of populist leaders like donald trump but critics point to the fact the refugee crisis was in parts created by foreign interventions by the u.s. and its allies peter oliver has more. former u.s. secretary of state and twenty sixteen presidential candidate hillary clinton has been having her say on the state of liberal democracy in europe she says the e.u. nations need to cap immigration if they're to halt the rise of the populists i think europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lead the flying i admired the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken europe must send a very clear message we're not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support if hillary clinton is correct and immigration is the root of the popularity of the populace let's have a look it's where those refugees and migrants have come from and why they came to the european union well the top three nations of origin for asylum applications to the e.u. since twenty fourteen syria iraq and afghanistan all of those countries that have been bombed or in some way to stabilize by the united states and their allies in nato. currently one of the main routes into europe for refugees and migrants is the dangerous mediterranean sea crossing from libya a nation that was plunged into chaos following the nato intervention that took place on mrs clinton's watch we came through assad he died. apparently politicians couldn't have forseen that people would start fleeing in their thousands since they were bringing democracy and the new promise for the future we are standing with the people of libya the bank yesterday. and get out these domination of libya and so freedom can develop and his country and when refugees did start arriving they told the europeans not to worry those who flee musically a war political oppression there we have the responsibility to help. lambing the door on every syrian refugee that is just who we are the rise of populous parties is also a major concern for those at the very top of the e.u. tree liberal democracy has never been under such attack since the collapse of the soviet union it's all well and good for hillary clinton and like minded e.u. politicians to say that they are concerned about a rise of populism in the e.u. but when they say that the way to stop this is to clamp down on refugees and migrants it comes across as more than just a little bit hypocritical especially when they had a direct hand in making those people refugees in the first place she directly contributed to this rise in populism it was under her rule so to speak under the obama administration that libya was bombed into the stone age. as supposedly to promote democracy and created a failed state is in direct effect from what she did in office. europe isn't just being told that migration is a bad idea plans for an e.u. army have also been criticized from across the pond. takes a closer look at the french german idea if the european military force which has ruffled washington's feathers in case you missed it the european talking about building a get. go wrong. and i know my own and i'm going to not have written breezily outlining their plans to dominate continental europe the french president declared that it's a france that a german responsibility to prepare the reef founding of europe i'm sure that the other twenty five union members have nothing to worry about i'm sure that the. much less leaky thirty z. in the original french at least this time paris and berlin all working together the german chancellor she won't run in another election can finally say what she actually wants and she really was a real true european army isn't it lovely how europeans have mature because no one's really is grieving to hearing a german leader say that well i want from britain we can't wait to get out and seeing eminem's plans of friends it may finally look like a good idea of course looming in the room is a rather large numbers around a brother nato which has been in charge of making sure that europe doesn't have to look after itself for the past seventy years behind very specific to the part played by the dog. does not like the sound of it you're. trying to spin from his french kissing buddy rather well breaking out the classic you'd be speaking german if it wasn't for us. around britain kolby idea of a european army to undermine nato great. so let me start out european nations don't like being told to pay more for nato they all you want me of their right which will cost more than outsourcing to the us marines and usually the us once europe to do more to defend itself as long as it doesn't when you need to do it and britain moans about the threat to nato unity even quantifying just a pure peace and unity of these armies planning to fight anyway micron is worried about china russia and the us but that is a whole nother episode. still to come on black friday ten south misson with stuff around the world saying working conditions well the details after a short break. i think that i would want to go fast

russia after russia season annexed ukraine russia claims that these straits are part of its own domestic internal sovereignty ukraine obviously disputes that it doesn't accept the seizure of crimea and in its view russia has no sovereign claim to these straits now the two countries russia and ukraine share the sea of us off and that's a rather important waterway a great deal of agricultural produce goes to the middle east from through the sea of us off and the straits but what we have now is simply a problem of rival claims of sovereignty it's simple on and on its face unfortunately what it means is that at what whatever time ukraine chose to exercise its claim of sovereignty bait which is supported by almost all governments in the world of of them russia by sending vessels through those straits it would almost certainly encounter a convent from taishan from the russians who claim that this is now part of their internal waters and want to draw your attention to one journalist on the ground or writing about what's happening you know just today the journalist peterson tweeted that this is the most dangerous moment that i had seen in ukraine in years tonight a war that many people in america can only ima

russia, russia, russia, with ukraine and crimea. what fascinates me, saudis, that is not the crown prince you're seeing there. but the crown prince is there. i think there is some scurrying by all the world leaders not to be with him. i think that is the case. >> we're all advised by handlers and seconds try to avoid a photo situation where you're standing next to him in any capacity. again what happened to khashoggi, terrible, awful. never should happen. has to be punitive measures taken. but look the saudis have been engaged in questionable and devious behavior over the years against activists there was little to no outrage from either large swaths of the press or folks up on capitol hill. the carbon dioxide killing is obviously, in your face and coverage of it. but part of that i can't help believe is politically driven because of current administration. stuart: you simply can't break up the alliance of israel, saudi arabia, you don't break that up. it is far more important, than this dance of diplomacy. >> absolutely. we don't always agree what they do. sometimes they work with cross-purposes with us. we live in the real world you cannot compare pushback of putin somehow we have to maintain relations with the crown prince. stuart: that is turkey's erdogan on right-hand side. treasury secretary steve mnuchin. that is the president's daughter. xi xinping is talking to, i don't know who. he has back to us. >> singaporean president or prime minister. stuart: that is right there. you will see at love interaction between the world leaders as they shuffle around to take their places around the great conference table. there i have not seen president trump talk to either putin or xi xinping or theresa may or angela merkel. i may have missed it. it may have been, may have missed it but i have not seen it thus far. what do you got to say? >> this is like a pre-dinner, right? everybody is networking minus the cocktails. i believe that i saw that putin was actually seated, his seat is next to the crown prince. >> correct. mbs. >> those will be shots of putin. he was last seen with mbs. so that shot will exist. i don't know if the table is set when it comes to being alphabetical which would explain that seating perhaps a little bit. but it is, i don't think mr. putin and the crown prince clearly are in their own isolated little bloc. >> putin is opportunist. if he sees any wedge between us and saudi arabia, whether it is congress pushing back now on u.s. support of the conflict in yemen which has been going on four years. it is not something that just popped up, putin will look at it, in a way how does this benefit me? >> there is also i think a russian link and interest what is happening in yemen. yemen destablized obviously via houthi rebels which are a squad of iran right at the southern border of saudi arabia. iran and saudi arabia, eternal enemies. russiacourse with its link with iran. so there is an interest in detablizing saudi arabia what is happening at southern border with yemen what they anticipate with attacks in israel. the fact that saudi arabia has obviously now made gestures and efforts to have that relationship. so that is what is going on when it comes to destablizing saudi as well. russia's interest in that. stuart: i don't know how many g7, g5, g 10, g20 meetings we covered on this in my career television but i never found one as fascinating at this. i find it fascinating world leaders chitchatting, there is issues amongst all of them. america has issues with every single one of the major players around that table. every single one. >> when was last time anybody was particularly excited about a g20? stuart: that is true. we used to cover them because we had to. they're there you have to cover it. we cover it because we want to and something interesting is going to come out of it. it already has, for heaven's sake. >> thi

russia. i have nothing to do with russia, folks. i have nothing to do with russia. john, how many times do i have to say it? are you a smart man? i have nothing to do with russia. >> nothing to do with russia. but the president has now adjusted that message to he lightly looked at business dealings with russia. a tweet from argentina. lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in russia, put up zero money, zero guarantees and didn't do the project, witch hunt. lots of court action today. in an hour from now, former fbi director james comey will ask a judge to quash a subpoena from congress. congress wants to ask him questions. comey says he wants to answer, but in an open hearing, not behind closed doors. and we were supposed to hear more about the paul manafort case. he's trump's former campaign manager. sentencing has now been delayed until march. he's already in jail. but won't know about -- until spring about a much longer sentence, laura. >> very interesting. thanks so much, scott. >>> riders have complained about b.a.r.t. trains for years, but there is a new fleet of cars commuters are lining up for. this was the scene a couple hours ago at the lake me

russia. meanwhile, russia is at it again. it's state messing with ukraine. since russia took over crimea, it's been exerting more and more control over crimea's territorial waters in that area. in fact, this spring, russia a huge bridge connecting mainland russia to crimea. they named it the crimean bridge. once the bridge was complete, russian security services known as the fsb started inspecting all ukrainian ships trying to make their way through the strait to ukraine. now, if you look at a map, this strait is the only way for ukrainian vessels to go back from the black sea to ports in the see of azov. the russians manning the waters, tensions have been on the rise, but yesterday they came to a boil when the russian navy blocked three ukrainian naval vessels from passing through the strait. watch this ship about to ramtha tugboat. the russian ships opened fire at the vessels, wounding six sailors, i'm sorry, and ramming into a tugboat. boarding the ukrainian ships, detaining more than 20 sailors, and seeking -- seizing the three ukrainian vessels. you can see two of them here. russia claims the ships illegally entered russian waters. i should point out the strait is like two or three miles wide at it
