the director sergei naryshkin criticised america, accusing it of trying to "rule the world". poisonings. 0ur moscow correspondent steve rosenberg reports. he runs one of russia's most secretive organisations but sergei naryshkin agreed to meet me — the first time foreign media have been allowed inside russia's equivalent of m16 — and he quickly took aim at america. translation: i think some politicians in the west had false expectations. they felt like that the world could be ruled from one centre, washington. the most important lesson from the past is that if any country tries to rule the world all by itself, this will undoubtedly end in disaster. sergei naryshkin is a close ally of vladimir putin. they've known each other since their kgb days. western leaders regularly accuse russia of waging a hybrid war against the west. the european union only recently accused russia of a campaign of disinformation over coronavirus. why is russia doing this? do you accept that it's happening? how can they say ‘disinformation'? russia sincerely offered to help our friend italy fight coron

secondly when rush shaun poisoned sergey cr.ent we kicked out over 60 russian diplomats. annexation of crimea and ongoing war in ukraine, trump administration provided javelin anti-tank weapons to ukraine. no question that the trump administration has been tough on russia but foreign minister lavrov was not messaging us he was messaging his own people. the they have a important referendum starting tomorrow whether vladmir putin can remain president for life. he defends russia from the nato and united states. elizabeth: that is interesting. the russian foreign minister said the trump administration approach is wrong. the u.s. grown less interested in diplomacy, resolving disputes through negotiations. instead comprised of demand is put forth unless the demand is met with total capitulation, sanctions threatened. there is it no capitulation u.s. lasts away with sanctions s that true? is that the way this russian leader, foreign official is seeing isn't is that what the u.s. is doing? is that the way to go? >> no. listen the russia

well java farm is to develop zarif is has been speaking to foreign minister russian foreign minister sergey lavrov a number of issues that iran wants to discuss with its friends russia now russia and iran are close allies they work together in syria now the developments of the i.a.e.a. report saying that the iranians are stopping them from inspecting 2 sites and has said that they will oppose russia with oppose any tends to erode the 2050 nuclear deal and provoke an anti earing an agenda at the u.n. security council he's also said that the situation is alarming with some developments in vienna referring to the i.a.e.a. report and he said that our western friends are discussing ideas in new york and he said we will pose any attempts to take advantage of the situation now that lacked a part talking about those ideas been discussed in new york is the united states attempts to put forward a resolution that would extend the arms embargo that is set to run out in october and that that arms embargo will end in october according to the 2015 nuclear deal that the united states pulled out of now the

for arms control marshall billingsley will be going to vienna to sit down with the foreign minister sergey rive a cough to talk about. the new start extension but again the u.s. position has remained that china must be part of this future arms control conversation and beijing is refusing to engage in that conversation so the question is can the u.s. and russia continue a bilateral conversation and get to an agreement about perhaps extending a new start for a limited period of time to try to get a new russian weapons systems under a new amorality or will the u.s. only insist that this can go forward with china we know secretary aoe is and hawaii meeting with the chinese foreign minister perhaps they're trying to move that dialogue as well but it's absolutely unclear whether the administration will extend the new start treaty we'll have to see how those talks were vienna and whether i have to ask you would this new tell all book by trump's former national security advisor john bolton it's already number one on amazon dot com and in that book bolton claims that trump asked the chinese preside

up the german military it will just go to american military contractors will go to a catastrophic sergei should boy for example well that money just flowed out willy by military jets that are terrible terrible policy we should not be doing that anyways but i think that we have a real danger of falling into a kind of to sit it is trapped here with america as the line in power and that point i agree with merkel that america is. and it is questionable how long it can really really made a world power in the way that it has been a global actually wanted to appear as powerful the last well half a century and it isn't it development that could be positive for the world but if germany were to take its opportunity and form and use it euro to boundaries and europe and build on cooperation cooperation for example with russia that can have real lasting security consequences for the continent but it can also be a dangerous situation. given that the nato allies seems pretty clear that america has no problem being very tough one might say very threatening upon nato allies another example comes with thr

hi brand well we have official reaction from mr sergey to china with the russian ambassador to germany we've heard that in the report just now he deny it as expected any responsibility and spoke of baseless charges against his country against russia we have to keep in mind brand that moscow awful moscow mr congo severely with russian possible to was primarily a terrorist that's why here in russia the story is being told in a completely different phase way media here have been highlighting congress realists past and as a separatist phyto fighting against russian forces in the 2nd chechen war and then there at the end of the 990 s. president putin himself called him a fighter very cruel and the bloody who fought against russian southern 18 you're you do story is yet another example of the russia that we see you around the world being a bad actor is there a disconnect however between russia the bad actor russian politics and the russian people you've been looking at that in a documentary series tell us about it yes absolutely brand thing you're right that there is another russia actually

other countries unable to get home thousands of russians are in that predicament and foreign minister sergei lavrov has been talking to us about have a countries helping its citizens return home with a moment we'll have a full interview later but here's a taste of what's to come. does the government think lean the foreign ministry pass any judgment these russians acted recklessly when they went on vacation abroad didn't they as russia's foreign minister my job is not to possible judgment but to act in line with the russian constitution the constitution does not apply to any of those russians back home of the government's expense again it is the realm of moral judgments as a private individual i could have an opinion on whether it is reckless or not to go to see results in the 2nd half of march despite multiple media reports on the pandemic and i also have my own attitude to those who helped the pentagon as tourists out of mercy rather than by the force of the constitution places the fishes he's a traitor are you aware that people are going abroad through batteries now turkey has opened its b

galland may 29th seen now during those talks russian foreign minister sergei lavrov called for a total poll out of foreign forces from afghanistan and he said russia is convinced that there is no military solution and that the only way to achieve peace is by political and diplomatic means so we have yet to see any evidence here that russia was the one trying to keep the war in afghanistan going it actually looks like it was the opposite but we also have to remember that at the time when this report claims that the acts happen that was when the united states had ramped up its bombing campaigns in afghanistan to levels 6 that we hadn't seen in a decade and it was also when the u.s. was killing more civilians in afghanistan than the taliban and now rachel with all of these moving parts what's next in this war even though we have an article that has been widely criticized from all sides it seems like here that hasn't stopped minority leader and democratic senator chuck schumer from calling out and saying that he wants the united states to have even stronger sanctions against russia as a re

other countries on able to get home thousands of russians are in the predicament and foreign minister sergei lavrov has been talking to us about the complex to help them return home here is not full exclusive interview. what i was going we'll be talking today about the role of the russian foreign ministry has been playing in bringing russian citizens back to russia during a pandemic how did all this happen our constitution stipulates clearly that the state has to ensure that the rights of russian citizens be upheld at all times including when they were abroad is that really so did the foreign ministry have to get involved and to what extent but in spain general ensuring safety end up holding the rights of your citizens by all legal means globally is what any state's foreign office does and that mandates is usually set forth in legislation russia is no exception however the options to facilitate our citizens' return home can vary depending on the country and the circumstances. when they become clear the number of russian stock abroad is large enough and you have to step in and you put in the

the afghan government in moscow on may 29th scene and during those talks russian foreign minister sergei lavrov called for a total pull out of foreign forces from afghanistan and he said russia is convinced that there is no military solution and that the only way to achieve peace is by political and diplomatic means so we have yet to see any evidence here that russia was the one that was trying to really ramp up this war in afghanistan but at the same time when they're claiming that these attacks took place that just happened to be when the united states was ramping up its bombing campaigns levels that we hadn't seen in a decade and it was also when the u.s. was actively killing more civilians in the taliban in afghanistan absolutely i mean there's a lot of moving parts to this rachel so what could possibly be next well despite the fact that we have a report that is being denied all around that hasn't stopped senate minority leader chuck schumer for calling for strong sanctions against russia as a result of these claims that were made and we've also seen republicans from the house foreig

arbery notes -- peter stzrok notes, talking about the logan act against michael flynn, talking to sergeykislyak who was ambassador before he came into the white house, obama says these are unusual times, i have been on the intel committee for 10 years and i never -- obama, make sure you look over things and have the right people on it, is there anything i shouldn't be telling the transition team? this is a big deal at the end, james comey, fbi director saying in his opinion the flynn kislyak calls, those calls made during the transition appear legit. that is a big deal, right? >> it is. there are two huge take aways from these notes brought to the public just yesterday. first one being joe biden, the inference that she was the one who was wanting the logan act to be looked at and reviewed in this meeting, why is that so important? just last month on good morning america he completely deflected and said he had no involvement, knew nothing of the investigation. >> we are going to go to that. i want to show everybody that clip real quick. >> was there anything improper done? >> i nothing ab

strzok says james comey responded by saying flynn and russian ambassador sergey kislyak have had telephone but maintained, quote: they appear legit, in his words. again, these notes are believed to have been written on january 4th, 2017. and on that very same day, fbi agents had drafted their own memo saying they had found no derogatory information regarding flynn's contacts with the russians and that they were shutting could be the case against him. down the case against him. at 2:31 in the afternoon on that same day, peter strzok began frantically textinging the crossfire razor case manager asking him to keep the case open. at 2:22 he text thed, seventh floor involved. meaning director james comey and fbi leadership were making sure the case stayed open and were maintaining contact on the case as it developed. the small group of obama era officials did everything, it seems, in their power to talk down president trump. to take president trump. they used a fraudulent case against general michael flynn, trying to target president trump and his administration. for years the. [laughter] -wing

flynn's legal troubles date back to phone calls he had with then russia ambassador to the u.s., sergeilyak. flynn asked kislyak to reciprocate moderately against sanctions imposed by the obama administration in response to russia's interference in the 2016 election. when fbi agents questioned flynn in early 2017, flynn lied, denying he discussed sanctions. trump fired flynn in february 2017 before fbi charges were filed for also lying to vice president pence and others in the white house about the cause. in december 2017, flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi. in a statement at the time, flynn acknowledged that his actions were, quote, wrong. through my faith in god i am working to set things right. he said, quote, my guilty plea, an agreement to cooperate with the special counsel's office, reflect a decision i made in the best interests of my family and of our country. i accept full responsibility for my actions. but the case took a turn in january of this year after flynn, facing possible jail time, told the court that he wanted to walk back his guilty plea. he now says he's innoc

minorities did not have a say force supporting the rights had to change the systems that resulted in them sergey. we have seen similar cases after and persecuted those who did not obey in my part of the world. sadly, the brutal killing of george floyd spoils the american and with modern technology , we understood that similar cases for every member of iniety for everyone to fill equal and not like a second-class citizen. for manyto explain years to our partners outside of europe we need to show that the ee you has the best model in the last 70 years. let us really explore the european model and not try to be honest with ourselves because it's the only one that works so far. thank you. thank you, madam president. condemnationn the of excessive force on george floyd that resulted in a tragic outcome. he enforcement is not the only victim of systemic institutional racism that has not disappeared for sentry and a half since the evolution -- abilene -- abolition of slavery in the civil rights movement. we as the european union, nondiscrimination directives for 12 years. there's a proposal for further

between general flynn when he was designated to be trump national security advisor and ambassador sergeywho was the russian ambassador kislyak. that was under fisa. all that stuff is classified. whoever gave that to david ignatius of "the washington post," conveyed classified information. they have been trying to look into information who did that. they know this guy baker, from the office of net assessment at the pentagon did have a relationship with ignatius and did exchange messages with him. they haven't connected the dots that he is the one. i think flynn's attorney, sydney powell made that allegation but i don't know that they have proved it. look, ignatius has a lot of sources and leak investigations are really hard. elizabeth: yeah. >> we'll see where that goes but they're clearly looking at that i think the other thing they're looking at is, halper did these studies for the office of net assessment look like they're a little bit fishy but they paid him an awful lot of money. of course the thing you wonder is, did they, was this the way that they paid him to do the informant work

derogatory information, so why would they interview him about his conversation with russian ambassador sergeych now we know from peter strzok's notes that the conversation was legit, there was no russian conspiracy, they went ahead with it anyway. there's a sign that there's a justice department that has been deeply corrupted over the previous 8 years, politicized and attorney general barr is trying to get rid of that that politicization. chris: mo, i want to bring you in, is bill barr bringing the politics into the justice department or taking it out? mo: i don't think either of you will be surprised that eileen the other way on this one. this is an attorney general, this is a justice department that has shown time and time and again willingness to give presidential treatment to the president. this is a president that promised he was going to drain the swamp and sense of fairness in the justice system for those who felt who wasn't it but shown time and time again that he's making it swampier and surprises me that bill barr would play along with this because based on his last tenure that wasn
