because you have on the one hand russia for example demanding ukraine surrenderpart of its sovereignty over donbass essentially giving russia control over the region we will never surrender control sobering control over them by us or over crimea and it doesn't matter how much time it will take us but we will deal to buy those territories and reintegrate them into ukraine how would we. yes we have already come up with some initiatives within the trilateral contact group where ukraine russia and the always see sit together to make compromises and to achieve progress we suggests to russia a very simple solution that we will never cross our red line which is sort of sovereignty and control over the border and into jordan we are ready to negotiate the special status of those regions within ukraine without the providing them with the right to have a veto on any nation wide decisions but ultimately that's a red line that russia just simply is not buying at this point so today you know in order to push forward diplomatic efforts you met with your german counterpart heika

russia and ukraine signed a cease fire in the by the russian capital minsk in 2015 but european monitors say the truce has been repeatedly violated e.u. leaders accused russia of failing to implement its side of the deal german chancellor angela merkel says the e.u. has no choice now but to extend sanctions against russia's energy financial sectors until the end of january. or. germany and france took stock of the continuation of the minsk agreement in view of the developments we cannot recommend that the sanctions against russia be lifted we therefore decided today in the european council that the sanctions should be extended for another 6 months. so let's take a closer look at the measures against moscow the e.u. 1st imposed sanctions in 2014 after russia annexed ukraine's region of crimea since then they've been extended every 6 months in retaliation moscow banned the export of oil and oil products for ukraine it also stopped all food imports from the e.u. united states norway canada and australia in december pro russian separatists in ukraine's government exchanged $200.00 prisoners

history that people vote based off chinese policy or off the national security council or off ukraine-russia? martin: good point. elections, tim o'neill said all elections are local, it is really what is in people's personal lives, financial lives, do they have jobs? are they better off than they were four years ago? i doubt anyone will vote for one candidate or the other for their views on international policy. muchcans are parochial, more so than any of the other countries around the world. it is local issues that will decide this. francine: thank you so much. we speak about emerging market research, a little about brazil, a lot about china. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> even if we manage to get out of this that 95% of what we were, which would be good theome in a year or two, rest of the world will not be in that situation. they don't have the money to do stimulus, to keep people sheltered in place, the resources for the collapse in oil prices, global trade. 6 billion people plus living outside the advanced economies. they have been thrown off the track they were on the last four years. -- 40 y

in a vote at the electoral college they can't win so you're seeing just the extension of russia gate ukraine gate and now you're seeing what's happening with the riots and that's fine you have people going out in the streets and protesting what happened to floyd there is that i don't think anyone has a problem with the peaceful protests but the fact that you're seeing a top down mobilization of rioters getting out to the streets looting using very much very many of the same tactics that we saw in other international color revolutions one that comes to mind right now to me is ukraine and what happened in ukraine you have all the same players there instead of the right sector you have the n t you have a lot of the n.g.o.s that you had in ukraine also mobilized in the united states and you have small pockets of protesters who are easily controlled looting and destroying things going after cops you had a lot of the same elements at the might don that you're seeing in various cities in the united states specifically in minneapolis in new york and other in atlanta and other cities around the u.s.

pensions. 6 years of negotiations are founded on one key question who should make the 1st concession russia ukraine even a face to face meeting in paris didn't help it's a standoff that's put a stable ceasefire out of reach let alone a negotiated end to this conflict but do ordinary ukrainians still believe this conflict can be resolved by negotiation. it's only talks won't achieve anything put in has his goals and he's not going to change all the political i don't think france and germany should stay involved we need more pressure on putin he's someone who only understands brute force. and you got a system that i think we should talk directly to put and it's in his hands he started all this. in south that i'm in the civil. as efforts to bring putin selenski face to face for a 2nd summit get underway in berlin today back in ukraine hopes are fading so let's he can succeed where his producers have failed to bring a rapid end to this war. you're watching the news from berlin remember you can keep up to date with the latest on our web site that's at the com and you can follow us on twitter and instagr

this is an immediate flashback to russia, if you're listening, or the entire ukraine scandal. >> that's right. that is why the former national security adviser in this book and also in an op-ed that he writes is making very clear that he believes that house democrats conducted their probe in too narrow of a way, that they should've gone beyond ukraine. because this is a pattern that they could have proved the pattern. i will say because i think it's important po say that if i am a house democrat, if i am an impeachment manager, i am tearing my hair out right now because this is exactly what democrats on both sides of the capitol were hoping bolten would do in some way, shape, or form, five months before the election, or most importantly three or four months after the impeachment inquiry and the probe and the votes were all over. there are lots of discussions about why. and i know that john bolton was supposed to get to that in this book. but that is really the big question is why now and why did we not know about this, and why did the investigators not know about these other instances b

in 2014, russia invades ukraine. we don't give russia military lethal aid like they want. we give them humanitarian aid. there is no doubt -- so then trump is elected. when trump is elected he starts missile defense again in poland, vigorously. it's continuing now. we put tremendous sanctions on russia. and then the other thing we do s we give ukraine lethal military aid. people have got to look at factual information. we are in the worst political theater i have ever seen in my life. i'm 68. and the news media can report anything but those historical -- they are not historical, but those are the actual facts. biden was a part of being soft. of course russia doesn't want trump. our adversaries do not want trump. he's been tough on them. i am perplexed as to how people can be so against policies in the administration. and be just so overwhelmed with this man's personality, which i don't particularly care for myself, rather than looking atpolicy. host: thanks for your participation in the program. more reaction from congress from either side of the aisle. adam kinzinger twee

soybeans and wheat to help him with votes from farm states trump asked for help from china, ukraine and russias like a drunk dad running through epcot looking for his kid. "he is about this big? all right, i'm going to check ireland. all right. that's where i was last. and somehow asking china for help to win the election isn't the most shocking revelation here is one of the most bizarre ones involving trump and kim jong-un. >> bolton, in his new book, saying trump was eager to present kim jong-un with a a trump autographed copy of elton john's "rocketman" cd, the nickname that trump had given kim. bolton saying that getting this cd to kim remained a high priority for several months. >> jimmy: giving someone a cd isn't diplomacy, it's how you tell someone you have a crush on them in eighth grade. did you ever give a cd to anyone >> mixed tape. >> jimmy: yeah, mixed tape i don't know if i gave to anyone in fact, i didn't. i would make mixed tapes and say, "no, if you like the song, go buy it in the store." >> oh. and then -- so you dated a lot [ laughter ] >> jimmy: my god, stomping your flip-f

bolton also says president trump told him directly he wanted to withhold security aid to ukraine until also the russia materials related to clinton and biden had been turned over that was the central argument in house democrats' impeachment case but bolton refused to testify without a subpoena and in his book blames democrats for not expanding their investigation beyond ukraine. >> this is called a con. it's really a sad thing because he knew that the president should be removed from office, that's clear >> reporter: also tonight president trump making his most extensive comments about racism in america since george floyd's death, telling "the wall street journal" i would like to think there is not such systemic racism unfortunately in the real world there is some whatever i can do to reduce that or get rid of it i'd be very happy with adding, i would also say it's very substantially less than it used to be and on the return of hi campaign rallies this saturday in oklahoma that the president pushed back after criticism he scheduled it for juneteenth, the day commemorating the end of slavery president

russia or ukraine? even a face-to-face meeting in pariris did nott h help.i ia standining -- it is a standoff that has put a stable cease fire out of reach. two ordinary ukrainians still believe the conflict can be resolved by negotiation. >> talks will not achieve anything. putin has his goals and he is not going to change. >> france and germany should stay involved. we need more pressure on putin. he has someone who only understands brute force. >> i think we should talk directly to putin. it is in his hands. he started all this. >> as efffforts t to bring putid zezelensky face-to-face are underway, hopes are that he can succeed where his predecessor failed. brent: here is a reminder of our top story this hour. thousands are staging peaceful protest in new york city. the mayor has extended a nighttime curfew after outbreaks of violence and looting during antiracist protests. proud -- demonstrations across the u.s. began last week after a black man died in police custody in minneapolis. an autopsy report shows that the man was killed by a police officer. yo

posture of the obama biden administration that did so much to turn a blind eye to russia's activity, especially in ukraine also elsewhere. where russia's interest were misaligned. let me be very clear. >> i served in afghanistan during the time these bounties were placed on the heads of our troops. the fact that "the new york times" and partnership publish details that makes it harder for intelligence immunity to do their job and get to the facts of this matter is despicable. someone should be held accountable. we have to look at the story for what it is, it's a hit piece on the president just prior to an election to rehash the russian collusion hoax to damage president trump. it's nothing more. >> dana: there are many people who feel that way. that the president is being struck by, the empire strikes back within the government. when you have the biden campaign picking it up and running with it, ads have been cuts. we still don't have information and it's not verified, are you going to demand additional information to get to the bottom of it? >> this report is important. whether it's 99% true or 39% true,

the russian to the chinese to india to a number of other countries and i think russia would looking at events in the ukraine in 2014 and georgia in 2008 and syria says to itself that this is untenable they can up with themselves in a position where washington can dictate the conditions right on to russia's borders and repat matter as we know through color revolutions even try to manipulate things within country's borders so i think he feels that restoring russian starboard sovereignty and its if you will its strategic footprint. it is absolutely essential to russia's future now some people would say the fact that he has not been able to to establish this through some kind of succession that he is still the essential man in all of this is kind of a weakness and i suppose it is that that there's always been a fear in russian history between what it would do the or be interested in freedom for the population versus what results in in chaos and anarchy that that essentially destroys the country and i think that's what he's also team who avoid alexander can i ask you have the opposition how to trouble trying to

managers laid out earlier this year riding the trump said he would withhold security aid to ukraine until all the russia investigation materials related to clinton and biden had been turned over. and he says trump was prone to doling out personal favors to dictators, he liked at one point telling the turkish president you would replace southern district of new york prosecutors to make an investigation into a turkish from go away. bolton says the pattern looks like obstruction of justice as a way of life which we couldn't accept and claims he raised some of his concerns with attorney general bill barr a longtime republican who served in the trump white house for 17 months. bolton says deliberations there were like college food fights and calls trump stunningly uninformed i'm sure that britain was a nuclear power and unaware that finland was not part of russia. the early look at bolton's book comes as he's locked in a bitter dispute with the u.s. justice department which sued to block the book's release claiming it contains classified material. bolton's lawyer says the administration is trying to block th
