thes raising the issue of security situation in the baltic region and the baltic sea specifically andconcerned about the russian planes flying there without transponders on. so my question to you, mr. president, would be, mr. trump, would you consider russia as a security threat? well i consider many countries as a security threat unfortunately with what you look at is going on in the world today.a few weeks ago, our great vice president mike pence, who is right here, was in the region and spent a good o bit of time there. we consider it an important part of the world. we have great relationships there. i would consider many countries's threats. hopefully we will not have to handle them, but if we do, we will handle them. >> and i have a follow-up? -- can i have a follow-up? if the situation in the baltic were to escalate, what with the usb ready to do in that unfortunate circumstance? president trump: we are very protective of that region. that is all i can say. we have great friends, great relationships. we are extremely protective. thank you. a question for the president? yes. do y

i'm not yet convinced that putin does want to invade the baltics. i certainly hope he doesn't, but i think the best way to keep him out of the baltics is showing him that we're serious about ukraine, and we have to make him pay a price for his intervention in ukraine. they are begging us for lethal defensive weapons to deter the aggression. >> and that was taken out of the platform per the request of the trump campaign. pennsylvania congressman, charlie dent, really appreciate your time today sir, thank you for joining us. >>> coming up, why both sides of capitol hill are determined dear son, i know you wor i can't keep up with our weekly tee times. but i've been takiosteo b. it's 80% smaller, but just as effective at supporting range of motion and shows improved joint comfort in seven days. which means you're in big trouble, son. you will bow to my exquisite short game. cower at my majestic drives. i will make you question everything, son. so don't worry about dad's joints. worry about your dignity. love, dad. 80% smaller, just as effective. osteo b

insurgency guerilla movement in the baltic states which also fought against what they called the soviet occupation but apparently nato the organization which was created right after the fall of fascism in europe cared little for the fact that many of those guerillas were former members of the s.s. battalions as admitted even by latvian historians on the latvian history dot com website the tragedy in charlottesville reignited the talk about neo nazis in the united states when it comes to the rise of fire right in europe however the media and the society on this side of the atlantic prefers to turn a blind eye which if you consider that there cannot be such things as you know nazis and the damage which was down to everyone seven decades ago is nothing short of baffling. the reporting from washington d.c. . as we witness the rise of violent white supremacist nationalist groups in the us we may better understand their agenda and motives by considering a global perspective to discuss this i'm now joined by author and investigative journalist max blumenthal thanks so much for joining us max g

there are incidences on the baltic sea and the black sea.gainst georgia. so, reacting to this russian policing, nato decided to build a special unit to support the security of the eastern area of nato. last year in warsaw, nato decided to deploy extra troops. a somewhat tenuously decided, the united states decided to send a whole brigade. nato are correctly reacting to the acts of russia. nato is defending and deterring, but also trying to keep a dialogue with russia. we support this dialogue. i have to put to you... we sent deputy ministers to moscow for dialogue. we then sent another deputy to moscow. we are reacting positively, but we do not have a positive ads from the other side. finally, are you enjoying being foreign minister of poland at this rather difficult time, when you are getting all these criticisms we have been discussing on this hardtalk? i can repeat what i started in the beginning, which i did not finish is successfully because you prevented me to tell you, for the very first time, we have clearly defined our foreign goals

mike pence has traveled through estonia where he reconfirmed washington's commitment to secure the baltic states against the alleged russian threat. we stand with the people and nations of the stony and now do you and we do we do to all the delegates we refused to recognize the baltic states this part of this should be you . when you raise your voices in the singing revolution. we join the chorus from. the u.s. vice president is on a trip through eastern europe to show support to washington's nato allies and reaffirm commitment to the nato treaty as an article by saying that an attack on one of us is an attack on us all while the lithuanian president accused russia of using its energy resources as a weapon. and you jews can use it against most extends for a long time even before we opened and then jean if you need ten to fifteen we dated for gas forty percent more than germany for spain because russia always use energy projects as to the influence as to not suppression and still a lot of manipulation. to marco gossage and international affairs common things pence's trip as part of a u.s.

we rotate the units over there and we move them around so they have been up in the baltics, down the poland, romania, other places like that. what it's doing is providing lots of different options, depending upon the ever we think the main threat, the threat would be. what that requires for the army is we have done it much more agile army. when i was growing up your station here and you would fight in one location. you are kind of a set piece. our army is smaller now than when i was a lieutenant. but quite honestly our requirements are even larger than when i was lieutenant. we have to be able to be much more agile with our army. it has to have many more capabilities than when i was lieutenant. i tell folks no more one trick ponies. these are called icons. a unit icon. i can't have units or icons that can only do one thing. they have to be able to do multiple things because i'm not sure what i'm going to do with them here if it's a no. they have to be accountable under lots of different things. i can't be over specialized and have to operate in many parts of the world and move back a

and russian planes reportedly flew within five feet of each other over the baltic sea. also as the summer began, the u.s. military shot down a syrian government jet after which the russian government threatened to shoot down u.s. planes over syria. on july 30, the "the new york times" reported that between the united states and russia now, except for in relationship to syria, there is virtually no military to military conversation of the kind that took place routinely during the cold war. also said with russian and american forces operating near the baltics and off the coast of europe, the chances for accident and miscalculation are high. "the times" described the communication between the u.s. and russia about their activities in syria, "mutually suspicious and sporadic." what is at stake as the united its militaryues actions in syria including in the skies over syria -- what is at stake includes the real possibility that conflicts in the air could escalate into military clashes between russia and the united states that could spiral into nuclear warfare. campaign thaton

symbols to marches in the baltic states in memory of members of the baltic s.s. legions and openly fascist golden dawn party in greece but all that rarely gets attention all of the mainstream media in the united states just recently the washington post finally rang the alarm bells in this article suggesting that the far right ultras in ukraine were holding the government by something no one wants to be held by and act with absolute impunity which does not let ukraine embrace the values it's supposed to embrace but that was a rare exception when senator john mccain and house speaker paul ryan tweeted out their gleaming impressions of meeting ukrainian parliament speaker would be. the man whose book brough the showed him with one of the nazi s.s. symbols there was no outrage and not a word on the mainstream media and sometimes it gets even borderline bizarre when the official twitter account of nato tweeted out promotional clip of the forest brothers the one thousand nine hundred fifty s. insurgency guerilla movement in the baltic states which also fought against w

the world. in fact, even more so with regard to eastern european countries, baltic countries, as an example. we do need to push back and be helpful to other countries as they try to push back. >> before i let you go, i know you're helping lead the bipartisan effort right now behind a bill to combat sex trafficking. a crackdown on websites that promote it. tell us about this legislation. >> it's simple. we're trying to keep girls and women from being exploited online. sex trafficking has exploded in this country. we are told. all the data indicates that. i think the reason is pretty clear. which is -- it's moved as victims of sex trafficking told me from the street corner to the sfamartpho. we need to go after websites brazenly selling girls and women online. they've had immunity based on court cases brought against them. the prosecutions against them. they have had immunity hiding behind in federal law. our legislation is simple. it removes that immunity in a targeted, direct way that says if you knowingly facilitate sex trafficking you cannot hide behind immunity and takes the federal law to

but listen, pence is in the region reassuring the baltics we mean business. firmed article 5, are getting along with the europeans. the president will come out with a tougher china policy this week. the real question to me, what's going to happen on north korea? you've seen additional icbm tests. they are climbing up the learning curve and it's coming at us sooner than we thought. >> jamie, on that front what to you make of the highly unusual submarine activity on the part of the north koreans? what does this all mean? >> north korea is moving closer to a nucleardeterrent. just coming back from meetings with south korea, japan, nobody knows what the united states is doing. causing huge amount of uncertainty. president trump in the beginning, we'll get the chinese to help us out. and then no leverage. we pulled away all the leverage we had. undermined our relationship with our allies. right now north koreans are very rational actors, moving towards the creation of a deliverable nuclear weapon deperrant. makes sense from their side and nobody know it's what we'r

that is once on the vice president's tour, which also includes the baltic states. effort to reassure nato allies. the concerns could escalate more. "the new york times" saying a military exercise by russia could involve 100,000 russian troops. joining us to discuss, paul, a former state official under president george w. bush. thank you for being with us. vladimir putin kicking autothe u.s. diplomatic personnel in russia, these huge military exercises, which were on the schedule, but 100, 000 troops certainly seems pro provocative. what message do you think vladimir putin is trying to send? >> two messages, one to his country, he is large and in charge and one to whether or not they want to stay in the russian orbit. that's a way to clamp down on that government and an attempt to sent to the world and the united states russia is going to continue to do what it always does, exert authority, all of which is a desperation move by a weak country and a weak president who knows if he loses the energy markets in europe and has a u.s. president stand-up to him, everything

apart i mean in the beginning it was mostly the eastern european states like hungary and poland in the baltic states being against that used welcoming policy for the migrants and refusing to taken more and more refugees but now we're hearing more voices of this content from other countries as well particularly italy which really has been bearing the brunt of the migrants are the refugees arriving from africa as well as the middle east in search of a better life in europe since the beginning of this year we're talking about new the one hundred thousand migrants who have arrived in italy and we can really see that things are reaching a boiling point and situation is particularly worsening in the small italian town of then so meekly our locals have been protesting against building a new refugee shelter for under age migrants. who took a look at did you doubt it we are on the police a minute approached a friend of mine and got into his car he was trying to say to her bag we can't handle the situation anymore i don't blame this people i blame the government i don't know what they're doing i'm just

in the baltic state, you have your unpredictable neighbor in the east. at this point, russia seeks to redraw national borders by force, undermining the sovereignty of nations and the free nations of europe. trump,resident donald the united states rejects any attempt to use force, intimidation, or malign influence in the baltic states or any of our treaty allies. to be clear, we hope for better days. for better relations with russia, but recent diplomatic action taken by moscow will not deter the commitment of united states of america to our security, the security of our allies, and the security of freedom loving nations around the world. under president donald trump, the united states stands thoroughly behind the article five pledge of mutual defense. anattack on one of us is attack on all. host: that was the vice president in eastern europe talking about russian aggression and restating article five of the nato pledge. thise asking all of you morning what is your confidence level in the white house team. our next caller, a republican. go ahead. caller:

relations the vice president is on a tour of key baltic countries that see the russians is sort of still the soviet foe that they once were places like a stone ia and georgia and montenegro old new nato allies hopeful nato allies so it's really interesting when you see the vice president reaffirming their can the u.s. his commitment to the baltic states and you see congress reaffirming their commitment to sanctions against russia and it's very unclear what the u.s. foreign policy is according to the president of the united states right now president and what about all of that these in these serious. well syria is you know one of the most complicated crad myra's the word quagmire used to belong to acquiesce and syria's clearly taken over that as it involves so many different allies and so many different players and it would seem maybe right after the election that trump had some kind of relationship with russia and they could sort of broach some kind of deal and they'd have tried to make deals on cease fires but it also involves iran and al

and russian planes reportedly flew within five feet of each other over the baltic sea. also as the summer began the u.s. military shot down a steering government jet, after which the russian government threatened to shoot down u.s. planes over syria. more recently on july 30, "new york times" reported that between the united states and russia now, except for in relation to syria quote, there is virtually no military to military conversation of the kind that took place routinely during the cold war. and the times also said with russian and american forces both operating near the baltics and off the coast of europe, the chances for action and miscalculation are high. the times also described key medications between the russian and u.s. militaries about their activities in syria as, quoting again, mutually suspicious and sporadic. what's at stake here as the united states continues its military actions in syria, colluding in the skies over syria. what is at stake includes the very real possibility that conflicts in the air could escalate into military clashes the tween russ

that the russians and the germans are talking about building this north stream to pipeline under the baltic the poles all very happy about that they seem to think they're being. there's a lot of historical animosity as we know between russia. germany and poland put you know politicians in poland. in a very deep sea of resentment. but of course they all cells from the big players in the european union specifically the germans in the french of course they resent they feel as if they talked about the germans and the french and so on and of course of the new stream part law in the kind of britain has to try and block it because britain's brigs it means that nobody in the european union takes what britain sake seriously it's all so then they are natural allies of the poles in the in this matter but they're not going to they're not going to be able to do anything for them i suppose a lot of countries on that side of the european union feel a little bit disenfranchised disenfranchised on the power scale in bloc if the e.u. commission president could come good on his warning that the you could vote

countries refusing to take in more migrants we're talking about hungry we're talking about poland and the baltic states as well and the situation really has reaching a boiling point particularly in italy which has been bearing the brunt of all of the migrants arriving from the middle east as well as africa in search of a better life in europe we're talking about nearly one hundred thousand migrants has arrived in italy since the beginning of this year and in this particular small town. well locals have been protesting against the building of this new refugee shelter for under eighteen migrants take a listen to why they don't want their photo did we have the police a minute proved a friend of mine and got into a car he was trying to bag we couldn't handle the situation any more i don't blame this i blame the government and in the wood they're doing i'm just here to see that we can't take it any more we don't want them here. we give them a place to sleep and we give them eighty euros a day but first we should be taken care of children our own people. well the mayor of this town says that the town'

and given the added sting of being delivered in estonia, a nato country on russia's western border, and he was flanked by leaders of baltic countries, this is nothing that russia hasn't heard before. i think over the last six months, a number of members of the trump administration, be it mike pence, be it u.n. ambassador nikki haley. even rex tillerson delivered much stronger stances against russia than perhaps president trump himself has. i think the real damage to the relationship was done with this passage through congress of that sanctions bill. i think that was concrete evidence to russia of just how many people in washington favor a tougher stance. one russian newspaper head lane over the past week had a caption that read president trump is a stranger among his own people. so, yes, these were extremely strong comments. yes, they will be seen as provocative here in moscow. but i think the damage was already done. >> clare sebastian joining us there from moscow. claire, appreciate it. thank you. >>> to london now, we'll bring in steve erlanger, "the new york times" london bureau chief. thank you for getting up early a

the baltic nations, all formerly part of the soviet union, feel particularly vulnerable. after witnessing a military buildup in the russian enclave of kaliningrad, lithuania , recently began building an 80-mile-long, 2-meter-high border fence. but while longtime residents of the border region know the barrier is unlikely to stop tanks rolling in, they hope it will at least reduce the potential threat. >> our journey begins at the edge of the european union. marijona zukauskiene has lived in this border village on lake vitytis for 82 years. she's seen the boundary posts change more than once. first, it was germany's east prussia, then the soviet union. today, she can no longer visit the russian side whenever she wishes. >> no, today, even if we wanted to, we couldn't go over there. there used to be so many mushrooms there. we brought home baskets full of them. when was the crossing closed? >> they closed the border when lithuania became an independent state. that was over 20 years ago. >> people who live on the border either live in fear or have come to terms with it. russ

so will he go to the balkans or the baltics? we have no idea who the enemy is. we have no idea of the caveat is. the coalition was nato. that was it. so we don't know any of those things. he will not recur on every 90 days. so high d develop that? and with a different philosophy. and then to change the philosophy of leadership. and with command and control and to ensure compliance with the command. and then with mission command in a row we want to see happen to and then to explain that initiative. in then where to begin in any given point that might be the position of a vintage with the taliban or hurricane sandy bird dealing with those locations or whatever your mission it is a special place and a geographical place with a coalition building but that is a relative advantage because the future is unknown and constantly changing. that is why you don't always see that initiative but you exploit that. you cannot be content thinking what would happen. below is position yourself to be in the right place for what could happen down the road when i was growing up it was

if we hadn't nato to the baltics and just play outre.r to poland or to had we not done that? you can see his aggressive tendencies toward countries that do not have nato membership. i believe the fact of the article five guarantee to these countries is what keeps stability and avoids war in the peninsula, and the idea that somehow this has made him do it is a new argument. he didn't make this argument in 2005 or 2010. he started making it when he came back -- charlie: the russians have always had a great concern about their border and their d.n.a. after hitler and napoleon, there was always a sense of there are threats coming across. jake: right. in the obama administration, we dealt with this issue of the missile defense system which we were setting up to deal with iran, but they felt we were setting up to deal with them. i don't deny that. charlie: which is an interesting question. how difficult is it in these kinds of negotiations, having dealt with the iranians very closely, to speak to the fears of the person across from you, and ma

russians do routinely every four years but they intend it it to be intimidating, especially to the baltico, yeah, there's reason to be nervous. the other reason to be nervous is because this kind of exercise prestaged russia's invasion of the ukraine. so, the america's allies in europe are worried that the cover of the exercise might serve russian infiltration and eventually attack on a nato country. >> so, is vice president pence doing enough? he is on this tour overseas in this region giving a big bear hug. we have your back over there. is that enough? >> it's a really good thing that he's doing that. and secretary tillerson has done similar. secretary mattis has done similar and the united states is sending reinforcements. 800 or so paratroop oars the baltic states. just to reassure allies. but the big problem is that the president was not reassuring to allies. and, so, people feel like they're getting mixed messages. >> that's the question. still hasn't said anything publicly about the diplomats from mouscow and hasn't signed t yet, edward. >> he should sign the sanctions bill as soon

the headless female torso recovered from the baltic sea on monday was that of missing swedish journalistl . >> we have secured a hand brush and toothbrush to ensure her dna. we also found blood in the submarine and there is a match. reporter: she was reported missing by her boyfriend on august 11 after failing to return from an interview in copenhagen with a private submarine owner and inventor. these images are set to show the payer leaving the -- the pair leaving a day earlier. he told authorities he dropped her off on a goat island -- on a copenhagen island, but then later saying she died in an accident. the day she was reported missing, he was rescued from sea. authorities say he intentionally destroyed the craft. >> i am fine. a little sad. seeing nautilus group down was unfortunate, but oh well. reporter: the submarine has been brought to the surface and being investigated. they found signs the body had been wait down with a metal object. he has been arrested on preliminary manslaughter charges. beach -- the cause of death remains unknown. brent: you're watching "dw news ." more co

the baltic and black see is hazardous as ever, and the islamic state is being pushed partby a war conducted in from ships in the eastern mediterranean. talk about the growing responsibility of the navy here. guest: what is interesting is in the last 25 years, the number of ships in the navy has declined by 20% to our present level of 270. the obama administration had a voting that to 300 and eight -- 308, which is more than today and the from administration wishes to build 25% larger navy that today. smaller --as gotten has gone no smaller in that time. our sense of what to do in the world and what we need to protect and the role the navy plays insecurity and prosperity of this nation as trade has globalized, all of things has created much higher demand in the navy. those are peace time missions. then you look at the threat, the action threat, china and the south china sea, looking to expand its influence further than it has already, russia, who i think is worth looking hard at in the high north and eastern mediterranean, where it seems to me one of their major goals in syria is to set up a
