is doing so in yemen and is doing so in other places in syria iran is trying to put its army. its air force its mavie and ground forces from moving it fifteen hundred kilometers from iran to the. back door of israel with the explicit goal of attacking us so obviously we cannot accept that i think that you cannot accept it for two reasons as well the first is one of principle obviously germany does not condone nor does any peace loving country condone want an aggression and the calls for the destruction of other nations but i think that there is another reason why this should be of concern to germany the reagan military presence right now in syria includes about eight hundred thousand. shiite militia commanded by uranium commanders these shiite militias come from afghanistan from pakistan from other places and they have a specific goal the military goal but also a religious goal iran wants to increase the number. such militia to eighty thousand and to basically conduct. a religious. campaign in the largely sunni serious areas ninety six percent sunni

we do not want to see iran -- they have to leave syria. that's a great danger for us. at iran is trying to do is essentially put new news around our next. he has have a lot in a terrorist proxy arm to the tea with over 1000 rockets try to get more more sophisticate weapons so they have a base of operations against israel from there with her trying to do is establish a permanent military presence in syria and iran is trying to establish a permanent military presence in syria and another base to use an attack israel and essentially create a land bridge that would create a land bridge. i think and i don't know if this is true starkly but maybe the last time the persians were in the mediterranean was probably in a time of alexander the great. i don't know if you want to have that happen with the regime that hates america and they told you they were all about when they took out. embassy and bombing installations in africa bombing the marine barracks in lebanon killing 241 us marines in killing and be responsible for the murder of hundreds of american servicemen in iraq with

counterterrorism in many many things russia and israel are working together and on the issue of syria and iran i think both countries both israel and russia have a very very strong interest of having stability. in syria or for having you know ending any. forces that may. provoke a door provoke and cause a lot of violence both in syria and also in the surrounding countries jumping in i think russia is certainly has an interest of not seeing forces that were active that would act provoke at tivoli in in syria but i think those forces at least from the russian point of view include not only the iraqi and forces but also american forces and to some extent is really forces because israel has become a increasingly assertive in striking targets on the territory of syria even if russia looks the other way i think indirectly it does impact on russia's own interests do you think russia will continue looking the other way or do you think it will actually become a little bit more proactive in deterring these type of assertiveness on the part of israel when i think the close cooperation will continue and t

iran. iraq and syria what we see. is the residual catastrophe that the colonial powers in world war one caused you know france and england they are the one created iraq and syria is artificial countries and you know what they did if you look at it. they did conquer divide by and conquer because when they look at syria with a sunni majority majority they put. regime overeats in iraq with a shia majority they put a sunni government so this is part of the main problem that we see now not only in syria and iraq but throughout the middle east let them better don't you think that you're conveniently forgetting a more recent history including the american intervention in iraq which really created a chaos in that part of the world to be and which was assisted them to some extent promoted by mr bolton who we're mentioning already do you actually because i know that you are a big supporter of the trump administration presumably of mr bolton himself do you think he has been a positive force in your part of the world well in hind

tensions are still high between russia and iran over the deployment of russian troops on syria's border with lebanon it's an area normally dominated by hezbollah militia groups supported by iran the forces have now been recalled but russia hasn't provided an explanation for why they were there russia and there are now the syrian government's main backers and all this comes as israel puts pressure on russia to rein in iran's actions in the region saying holder reports from. the region straddling lebanon's eastern border is an important supply line for hezbollah syria is the land link to iran for the lebanese armed group russian troops briefly took up positions here the russian military didn't comment but its troops were soon replaced by syrian army soldiers. trying. to iran in syria the. russian troops the military. ready to deploy wherever they want. it wasn't the first message russian president vladimir putin told syrian president bashar assad that foreign military forces will leave syria once a robust political process gets under way his envoy later clarified this included iran days l

what they are trying to do, is establish a permanent military presence in syria. iran is trying to establish a military presence in syria, and another forward base used to attack israel. they want to essentially create a land bridge that would stretch from iran to iraq and lebanon -- from toronto to tartu's, in the mediterranean. i don't know if this is true, historically, but, the last time the persians were in the mediterranean, was probably in the time of alexander the great. i don't know if you actually want to have that happen, with a regime, that hates america, and been at war with america for the last 40 years, from the beginning -- they told you what they were all about, at hello, when they took over your embassy. then, bombing u.s. installations in africa, bombing the marine barracks in lebanon, killing 241, u.s. marines. killing, and being responsible for the murder of hundreds of american servicemen in iraq, explosive devices that they pass on, through their militia proxies. this is a regime at war with america, and responsible for the deaths of thousands of

total immunity for iran to finance hezbollah and continue the war into syria. total immunity for iran to set up bases in syria and lebanon. and start converting rockets into precision guided munitions to target our allies in israel. total immunity to continue to arm yemen with ballistic missiles that could target saudi arabia, or commercial merchant vessels that are transiting. this was the fatal flaw. we handcuffed ourselves. to do any of these nonnuclear sanctions, to touch annex to, the europeans would say would drive the iranians out of the deal. in some ways, i disagree with your statement. the jcpoa was making war more likely, not less. we eliminated our nonlethal option. we took a course of economic options off the table. all we were left with was military deterrence. that's why, leading up to the decision, there were so many reports about the need to use military force in syria, elsewhere, and beyond. i have a number of recommendations for the way ahead. i hope that we have time to discuss them today. they have to do with the strategy, which was threefol

we have major issues on national security, conflicts with russia like ukraine, syria, iran and electiont where we are in our alliance will be determined from the summit. >> i think the problem is not that donald trump thinks vladimir putin is not our enemy and is trying to make friends with him but we have differences with our allies in western europe and we can make better relations with russia so we have fewer problems with them. the idea that somehow we needs to have to have a more confrontational relationship with russia is unhelpful. the idea that somehow donald trump is going to go and meet with him in helsinki and hand over the keys to the white house and the nuclear codes and walk away from nato is absurd and i heard people talking about that. what he's going to do is de-escalate things with russia because we have enough problems in the world and the fewer we have with russia the better with all of us. jillian: donald trump talking about the russia collusion case, russia continues to say they had nothing to do with million our election, where is the dnc server and why didn't jam

customs need to admit their citizens, whether syria, libya, yemen somalia or iran. does that mean anything to you? >> absolutely. wed alwayse terrorism seriously and do everything that we can to prevent it and prevent bad folks from coming into this country. wolf, that makes us a very small fraction of the people who are part of the nations. that's what we can't let the president get away with. the same thing that he does to hispanics in the country by trying to use ms13 gang members and basically demonize the entire hispanic community and hispanic immigrants by holding up the worst among them as the norm. the fact is, they aren't. >> i spoke to the white house principal deputy press secretary last hour. he pointed out that these countries can get themselves off the list by meeting the standards set by the justice department, the state department, the trump administration. do you buy that? >> i mean, again, that's a very subjective thing. it's a determination that's going to be made by the president or by his underlings. because it's subjective, i doubt they will be

/russian relations along with syria, iran and ukraine. i'm happy to say joining me i have brian cast, fellow from lse, and also james pettacukas james, thank you as much for joining us i know it's early for you. i would like to start with you, james. specifically on this trump/putin summit ostensibly what mr. putin will be looking for is some removal or lifting of the sanctions. so it's clear what russia will be looking to get out of this. what will president trump be looking for? what can be perceived to be a win out of this summit if it does happen? >> that's what the american agenda for this summit is, it's been unclear it's an odd time to call it. there's been some talk that the president will raise the issue of russian interference from the election certainly if that was an issue and the president took a strong stance, there was some sort of agreement that would be a big win for the united states. of course the president has been saying there's been no interference there has been a dismissal of that idea. foreign policy people wish t

and his attitude towards syria, iran and everywhere else. we have a president that's being eriously. he's not going to do what on thers have done. he won't get a bad deal for the sake of it. it will be a good deal or no deal. charles: the media saying the president has been hoodwinked. canceling the military exercise and some of the overtures that he blinked in the first rand ki. >> no, you need historicalperspt we have gone through periods of suspending the particular exercise they are talking about was originally called team spirit. it's now called full eagle. but the bottom line is we cancelled it in '94, '95, '96 to see if diplomacy had a shot. we are in a unique moment. this president empowered kim jong-un to be a transformative leader. the next steps are critical. ead.ere will be a letter of intent, there will be a framework agreement. there will be a ticktock of action items and collateral commitments being upheld. this is a great day for america and all the world. if you back year ago, everybody would have thought this was impossible

development i mean there are so many issues to discuss potentially from the conflicts and ukraine and syria to iran to denuclearize ation the list goes on really what are the expectations for any kind of progress on these masses. well john bolton was trying to tamp down expectations he did at mit that there are many areas where the u.s. and russia disagree he also did try to get into the ongoing investigations here in the united states about whether the russians may have interfered in the two thousand two thousand and sixteen presidential election even though the u.s. intelligence community has concluded that that interference did take place but bolton said that it's important to get the two men into the same room to start hashing out these issues and to try to build this relationship for the long term one other point bolton before he joined the trumpet ministration had been very critical of moscow's behavior and several of the reporters during this press conference raised some of his past writings as a question you know how do you square what you did before the administration with what you're doin

because that's what we do in syria, korea, iran. you hit the bad guys. you know, you hit castro or whomever you believe to be responsible. and so we don't have a policy that works. we have a failed policy. >> i couldn't agree with you more in terms of the embargo. it's inhumane. it's horrible. it's useless. it hasn't worked. but precisely for those reasons. i don't think that the embargo in anyway, shape or form plays any role in whether cubans rise up or not. for starters, most young cubans think of the embargo as a joke. you know, because they've been hearing about it their whole lives. and it's just -- it has no effect. it's completely -- you know, it's like -- nobody gives a damn about it. there's kind of an immunity that the idea is the embargo is what is screwing things up. >> but i wonder if that's not changing because now cubans can't get visas because of the change in policy. >> i might change. but i think it's too soon for it to really have sunk in. >> yes. and then, well, it's sinking in. because they're really discouraged about not going able

>> the president will talk about a range of issues including syria, iran as well as north korea. i think you will see again, the president will bring up a variety of issues with president putin. this is an opportunity for con strucktive and cooperative engagement with russia. as we know when the united states and russia are working together and getting along it's good for the world and it's good for peace. so it's an opportunity again for the two world leaders to come together and talk about a variety of topics. >> you know, mercedes, it is amazing. there is so much to talk about. we can do it with the positive news for an hour. with what has happened with north korea now meeting with putin, the supreme court justice. i mean the president is on a roll. mercedes schlapp so good to see you again. thank you so much. >> he is. >> all right. and while the trump agenda saw a lot of progress this week, the deep state continued to collapse and deputy a.g. rod rosenstein was in the hot seat. take a look at this. >> why are you keeping information from congress? >> i am not keeping any inf

from libya syria somalia yemen and iran. and it was the president's right to impose a ban because national security is his responsibility donald trump was clearly delighted this is a great victory for our constitution we have to be tough and we have to be safe and we have to be secure but in what was described as a furious dissent from the bench of liberal justice sonia sotomayor referred to cannes that trumps open comparison of the travel ban to the decision that mandated the detention of japanese americans during world war two sort of my all said taking all the relevant evidence together a reasonable observer would conclude that the proclamation was driven primarily by anti muslim animus rather than by the government's asserted national security justifications. politicians and activists are now expressing concern that the supreme court has affirmed doldrums own opinion that he and he alone is in control of the country's national security and that he can act without oversight in deciding who comes into this country with. we

this very narrow, libya, syria, iran, yemen, somalia, north korea, venezuela if you're selecting seven countries, to actually tighten the grip on who can get travel visas to come to the united states, that's a pretty damn good start, isn't it? >> it absolutely is. this is a rogue' gallery. but this is a good example of two things. one is as we alway say, elections have consequences, but constitutions have consequences as well. let's start by stipulating this is the legal normative system at work. that doesn't mean it's a wise decision. it doesn't mean that it makes sense geopolitically. i just returned from asia. and i'm watching the returns in asia, if you will. and i'm seeing big muslim countries, indonesia, malaysia, countries we want on our side. to see this. i'm watching our allies in the region. sunni arab states like saudi arabia, jordan, uae. egypt, looking at this. and i'm looking at americans looking at this. i would say it's a legal decision. but boy, is it bad geopolitics. >> well -- >> what do you think the impact of it is going to be? >> when we reach out to muslim countr

syria. they are on the other side of us on iran and other issues.ively andi managing global issues collectively and i think we should talk to them. whether they come into the g7 to do that or we do it in a different form, that is up to the leaders to decide. you can see that they don't wa nt to decide. you can see that they don't want to give russia a gift because they have issues with russia. but trump has something here, as he has something with kim jong—un trump has something here, as he has something with kimjong—un of trump has something here, as he has something with kim jong—un of north korea. he needs a transactional deal, and he is prepared to take some punishment for that.|j deal, and he is prepared to take some punishment for that. i should imagine that you are rather happy to be where you are this weekend rather than having to be one of those diplomats desperately trying to turn all these differences into common words on a piece of paper. jeremy greenstock, thank you very much. the queen is celebrating her official birthday this morning

can we move forward in syria with iran and assad? >> no. >> strategically, is this where we are going as we negotiate with the russians, the turks, and the jordanians? >> i have spent time working on this issue and hope to get back to the political process that stalled out before i took office a couple months prior to that. we have a lot of regional allies. the gulf states are helpful. the europeans share our common understanding and the israelis, certainly. the assad regime has been very successful over the last seven years and it seems that iran is a greater threat and the place we should focus efforts, at least to begin the resolution. >> i want to talk about u.n.r.a. what is the strategy? we are not walking away from the palestinians, but this model is not working. i want to know the strategy of where we are going now. thank you. >> thank you for being here. charts are fair game and i will begin with one of my own. this is a short inventory of trump's insults to allies and partners. i know you cannot read it and i cannot even rea
