putin says russia is using modern weapons but more are in reserve. russia has been launching air strikes in syria since september. syrian state t says an israeli air strike was a terror attack. a leader was among one of those killed. he was convicted in israel for the murder of four israelis, including a four-year-old girl. he was amongst prisoners released seven years ago in exchange for the bodies of two israeli soldiers. there have been more saudi-led coalition air strikes in yemen. the latest raids happened in the outcurse skirts of the capital. a camp run by houthi rebels and their allies was targeted. fighting has continued despite talks in switzerland. sunday is the last day of those talks. u.s. foreign policy and national security have dominated the third tv debate between the democratic presidential hopefuls. hillary clinton, bernie sanders and martin o'malley have laid out their plans for the presidency and they were united in the contempt for donald trump. >> reporter: hundreds stood in the weather for a look at the third debate. supporters

deirdre: captain, when say they will make a deal with the turks, is that russia putin or us? >> that is russia. >> you think so. >> yes yes, ma'am, they wil make a deal, putin's object on clear mountai -- where they can negotiate a transfer of power, i don't think they are wrap offed in assad, per se, but they are wrapped up in power structure of current syrian government. deirdre: putin canceled every outstanding business agreement he seemed to' to punish turkey quickly. >> he does, and putin does not get mad, he gets even, he is cancelled travelers -- there are 90,000 turks who work in russia, they are in jeopardy. but turkey is numbe number to one trading -- two trading partner with russia only next to germany, they import 55 to 60% of their natural gas from russia, russia needs that foreign currency. if you look at depressed energy prices the russian economy is suffering, there are also the open barringos and -- embargoes and restricts that u.s. has but the on the russians because of their bad acts in the ukraine and crimea. deirdre: we'll talk about oil a little bit later

russia is selling missiles to iran? >> of course, it's our fault. russia is a negotiator with us at the table. russia wanted iran to make that deal because they wanted iran to have a lot of money so that russia could take some of that money away from iran because russia is selling them tremendous numbers of missiles and armaments. george, if you don't know that, so, russia, if i was russia i would have wanted that deal done, too, because the money by the united states run by incompetent people is giving to iran, a lot of that money is going to russia and other countries to buy armaments. you don't know that, george, but that's the way it is. >> i do that. i'm just not sure it's our fault. i'm afraid that's all the time we have time for this morning. always a lively

is one that i think to a lot of us tends to seem somewhat archaic. the obama administration is often used the -- secretary kerry in particular has used this phrase of, how russia is engaging in 21st century diplomacy using 19th century tactics. i think that actually is a pretty good way to characterize it in the sense that the 19th 19th century was a time that a was characterizedded bay handful of great powers, the so-called concert of europe where the major powers sat down amongst themselves and drew lines on the map and tried to dispose of the smaller territories and the smaller countries. i think this is still largely the way that russia understands the way that the international game is played. and you see this in europe with the ukraine crisis and you see it in the middle east with the syria crisis. if assad really is a bargaining chip-then ultimately it's not about syria as much as it's about defining the term of the interaction between the united states and russia and the middle east, who is going to get which of these squares on the chessboard to line up on their side, or maybe the chinese game is a better analogy in that sense. in ukraine, i think it'

is still burning very very hot. he's using language again like being stabbed in the back, that russia has been betrayed. he has started using language like well maybe this is allah's revenge on turkey, maybe allah has made turkey lose its mind. he's talked about more measures against turkey. we don't know what these are going to be yet. there may be some people who could take heart from the fact that vladimir putin said he wasn't interested in saber rattling. perhaps what we're going to see are more economic measures and in fact on thursday, the russian energy minister did announce that the negotiations for the turkish stream pipeline project, huge infrastructure project that would have piped billions of cubic meters of gas across the black sea from russia to turkey, negotiations for that are being suspended. that effectively for the moment at least is dead in the water. >> putin's been calling for a broader coalition to combat isil. here is what he was saying on that. >> we need to create one powerful fist, a united anti terror front which will act within the international law and other u.n. mandate. ev

countries, and again this is--i need to emphasize the point that if russia is ready for a political solution, it will be shown. it will be tested in the coming period. if they want to use any excuse, in the transition or any other, russia needs to recognize there is limits to their aggression and to their power. >> thank you very much. it was good to get your thoughts on this. syrian opposition coalition representative to the united nations. now china has angrily protested after u.s. bomber planes flew over the south china seas. they flew by the spratley islands in what china is calling provocation. the u.s. routinely involve flights in the region and said an anything was accidental. >> beijing's air alert has caused many car cars to be forced off the road and factories stop producing. >>> in australia, the main highway between melbourne and sydney has been closed because of fires. cooler temperatures are expected on sunday, but they expect situation to be extremely dangerous. >>> as rio de janeiro prepares for the games next year, many are not benefiting. >> the futuristiistic tower jetting over the port is the newly opened museum of tomorrow. >> when i arrived here,

in doing this russia gains more pieces in the game that they are playing with us. there is also the context beyond the middle east. of course it's not coincidental as they would have said in the soviet. that russia syria intervention came shortly after a couple of weeks after the signing of yet another cease-fire in the ukraine. one that seemed to be holding, at least at first. the point is that when they started intervening in syria and intervening in a way that seem to line up with what the u.s. and the allies allies were trying to do in terms of allegedly fighting against the islamic state forces pushing for a a peace agreement, suddenly the u.s. was forced to engage with russia which made it harder for them to focus on russia as an adversary in terms of ukraine. the number of european countries have argued that you need to engage russia, you need to form a military partnership in order to go after the people who can threaten additional terrorist attacks in europe as well as potentially in the united states, and to deal with the civil war in syria. these are all much hig

does that concern is us that these types of missiles, north korea could send them to south korea, china could send them to russia, there's all types of scenarios on the range of these missiles. does that fact alone concern us as a nation? >> mr. chairman, if i could first address prior to your question which is that the inf only bans a type of missile. it doesn't ban a number of other types of missiles. iran has a missile program which we are quite concerned about. a medium-range program that they have engaged in testing and have ambitions for a longer-range system which is part of the reason for the missile defense in europe which is progressing. our concern about north korea's missile program, there's no question about that. that's why we've made some investment in our homeland missile defense in the last few years. i'm not suggesting we should get out of the treaty. i'm just suggesting we are bound by a treaty to limit certain types of missiles. russia is the only other country and the former soviet union's union is bound by this. other countries are not. does that concern us as a nation question and. >> as a

vladmir putin's end of year news conference is a marathon event with hours of carefully vetted questions and the president who has ruled russia for 15 years often uses it to speak out about international disputes. there is no more pressing issue han this, the crisis sparked by the shooting down of a russian fighter bomber last month by turkey, a member of nato. today mr. putin made it clear the crisis would not end until there were new leaders in turkey. putin: i think that the actions of the turkish government against our airplanes is not a friendly, it's an enemy act, our people have died. we're really enraged by the fact if it was really an accident as turkish government knew it was a russian airplane, what happened in this case, you pick up the phone and you start explaining. richard: the president went on to use crude language to criticize turkey's close relationship with the united states. and yet relations between mr. putin and the united states seem to be a little better at the moment, at least over the attempt to push forward with the peace process with syria. putin: i spoke with john kerry about it and our position is not changed. our posi

of course, russia wanted that al to be made because they're making -- russia is a negotiator with us at the table. russia wanted iran to make that deal. because they wanted iran to have a lot of money so russia could take some of that money away from iran because iran is selling them tremendous number of missiles and armants. so, russia, if i were russia i would want that dea done, too, the money by the united states run by incompetent, giveno iran, lot of that money is going to other country to buyuy armaments. >> i do that. that's afraid all we have time >>> we're just getting started from here in newew harp shire. bernie sanders is up next. we'llear fm the clinton camp, too. and chris christie joins us live. >> announcer: "this week" with george stephanopoulos broughtht to you by abreva. right when you feel a cold sore, abreva can heal it in as few as two and a half days when used at the first sign. without it the virus spreads from cell to cell. only abreva penetrates deep and starts to o work immiately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. you could heal your cold sore, f

along with a recent slump in commodity prices the move is expected to delay russia's economy going further in 2016. joining us now to discuss all things russia is tom. good morning to you. look the ruble lost roughly 15% against the u.s. dollar over the last two or three months. this is as brent prices dropped some 30% so the ruble has been resilient. there's not a one to one correlation here is there? >> that's correct. those that look into the details slightly more will see that the ruble has been quite resilient to the fall in oil prices. when we look at it, ruble stands out there over the course of the year as being the most tightly connected to the oil price. so there's the reason to be resilient. >> so if we take a look at how the russian ruble faired against the dollar over the course of the year it hasn't done so badly. it's actually risen some what. we were at, what, 80 levels in december of last year and since then we have seen all the forecasts about the economy sliding deeper into a recession. massive capital outflows. that didn't quite materialize. why not? >> the first thing we have to say is th

is needed, but what we have seen includes both attacks that we believe were directed against civilians where there were no military targets innocent -- in the vicinity. reporter: russia rejects charges that has been usingluster bombs in syria. it says the wording is vague and designed to conceal a lack of proof. "we studied this report and found that once more, there was nothing concrete and nothing new there. it was full of cliches and falsehoods we had already debunked in the past." confirming who is right and who is wrong in this dispute is extremely difficult. a united nations investigation does not have the mandate to investigate airstrikes by foreign powers. christopher: iraqi government of the western city of ramadi as they try to dislodge islamic state militants. i.s. captured the city and be taking it would be a major boost for the government in baghdad. reporter: one police officials said much of ramadi had already been liberated, but baghdad says it could take days to complete the operation. the iraq he army advanced on the city from multiple directions. the offense of to reclaim the and bar provincial capital from the islamic state has been months in the making -- the offensive to reclaim t

distinguished colleagues, russia in then for a long time avant-garde of fighting against terrorism. this is a fight for justice, for the future of all of us. we know what the aggression of international terrorism is like. russia encountered it in the middle of the 1990's and our citizens suffered from the terrorist acts. remember what happened in moscow. inremember the explosions the apartment blocks. we also remember what happened in the underground and other places. those tragedies led to the loss of thousands of lives. this is our set this and we will always remember all these innocent victims. we needed about 10 years in order to crush the bandits, and we pushed out the terrorists out of russia, but nevertheless, we still have two fight those who remain. of course, we still feel it. two years ago, there was a terrorist attack in volgograd, then there was an on a russian plane. it is impossible to fight the international terrorism by the forces of one country, especially when the borders are witness toe world is the wide migration. and of course the terrorists are being fed by that and the threat is becoming more and more stronger. we

is in moscow. talk us through these strikes, peter. >> reporter: it seems now that russia is extending its military footprint in syria. don't forget this operation, this incursion into syria was sold to the russian people two months ago as a very short-term engagement. it is clear now that russia's getting drawn into an extended conflict. it has flown scores of missions in the last 24 hours, but actually they've flown more than four thousand sortees since the bombing began at the end of september. they're picking up their logistic support too. they're moving into two new air bases. they're bringing in a ground to air, very sophisticated missile system and killer class submarines off the coast. does putin still have the support of the people on this? the last opinion polls show that he was running at 89.9% in favor. i think the people in russia basically still give him the support in this mission. political analysts are saying there is no real prospect of russia being overextended in its missions there, but also on the corn side they're saying there's no clear exit strategy at the moment >>> what ar

not a bad place to start is killing terrorist leadership who have taken the fight to us. charlie: how about cooperation with russia? george: russia is a country we don't see i to i with -- eye to euyye with on a lot of issues. one thing we agree on is that isil is a threat to us all. start where we agree. we are already cooperating. american, british, russian pilots fly in the same airspace. there is a deconfliction taking place -- charlie: how do they do that? george: it is essentially handled by the military and air traffic controllers of the coalition and the russian military done informally. it helps avoid tragic misunderstandings. charlie: with respect to assad, what is your position on this? george: i don't think assad can be part of a lasting solution. charlie: no one does. george: a lot of people will sit around the table and tell you why everything is going from bad to worse. i want to present the optimistic picture. the russians say we are not assad today.f charlie: we are not in favor of a transition. george: we say assad should go and we have accepted that it does not need to happen today. i suggest th

is this just a recipe for a longer and more inclusive war. peter and robert are still with me. let's pick up with peter left us off. can iran and russia if assad looks like he is out of the picture? >> well, i think rule one of diplomacy is you can't expect to win at the negotiating table when you can't run on the battlefield. they have soldiers coming through in body bags. >> do they have a government that is sensitive in that regard in >> not in the way that we consider it, but i think there is some tension-bolding on that. so you have that, and i think the u.s. has a problem, because if this is our war, we can't win. this war has to be owned by the neighboring arab countries, and so far they have got every other objective except going after isil. and so if -- if that doesn't change, i don't see how the u.s. wants. >> have we demanded as table stakes for being there enough from the persian gulf states and saudi arabia? >> well, again, as we have been discussing, there are these conflicting objectives. saudi arabia clearly wants the assad regime demolished, and the war aims may be in the context of the civil war as unlimited as what

use of toxic weapons is becoming increasingly common in the syrian war. voicing are growing louder accusing the syrian government of refusing to declare its own stockpile. >>> russia denied using cluster bombs in syria as amnesty international suggested its air strikes there could constitute war crimes. at least 200 civilians have been killed in the last three months. it also alleges that russian authorities lied to cover up damage in at least two strikes. and accused russian and syrian forces of using banned cluster bombs. >> to say there is not enough evidence when we have provided photographs of impact sites, recommend innocence of their weaponry. we have spoken to many witnesses, survivors of attacks there. dozens and dozens of very credible video clips and other images of dead civilians, of bodies in parts, and so on, statements from the ministry of defense itself in russia where they say they have carried out attacks at particular sights or in the vicinity of them. it would be interesting to find out what more evidence they would like. >>> peter sharp is in moscow, and says the russian military has rejected the report saying it is full of lies and trite clic

is demanding a kind of respect for russia? that he clearly believes that after the collapse of the soviet union at all the russian problems they went through that the world of usespected he is determined to make sure that the world respects russia and that is part of what his political activities are about? andrey: he think there should be some rules of the game in international politics. before the collapse, when it was the soviet union there was a standoff between the soviet bloc and the western bloc and there were rules of the game. a major decision had to be taken by the united nations security council. and since the collapse of the soviet union, i think we in russia feel that the united states and nato are to play their own game without asking anybody. without asking the united nations or asking russia or any other countries of the world. for example in syria if united states can bomb syria and russia can do the same. unless we draft new rules, no country can do it unless there is consensus or agreement or some framework for taking a solid issue on such issues. charlie rose: what he think he things about relationships of the united states in terms of coop

only russia is close to us. not really competition. what exactly happened. i don't think that can be separated from the fact that we have a unique population come african-americans are at 40 million and a unique history with that group of people. james: we have a video that will establish the statistics and it describes the moment we find ourselves in. the new reader is bruce western. ta-nehisi: bruce is a pioneer, a social just -- a sociologist at harvard. when i went to write this article, he was the first person i talked to, he is the godfather of this piece. i think you will see why. james: role video. -- roll video. >> the other thing is, the rate is so high, so socially concentrated, that we are no longer incarcerating the individual, but whole groups. the rate of incarceration now is five times higher than before, now it is about 500,000. in the world, nobody else incarcerate like we do. we have extremely high rates. for african-american men, there are lower levels of schooling, so if we think about black men in the 1970's, who are growing up through

russia want to convert them to dollars and not have anyone trace it. >> that is why the department of justice opened up an inquiry. russian clients of deutsche bank are usingse trades, a one-way trade or eight mirror trade, to move money out of russia to circumvent into money-laundering controls or possibly with sanctions. david: this is what i don't understand, if you are a big bank doing is us in russia and there are billions of dollars being traded, the possibility of money laundering might cross your mind. [laughter] stephanie: there are kno w-your-client barriers. >> we have seen this across the board with banks on wall street. we have seen hsbc, standard chartered. with deutsche bank, one of the most interesting things is, how big is it going to get? how broad is it going to go? this bank is still in the litany of scandals. is trying to recast this and settle some skeletons but this story seems to not be getting smaller, it is getting eager. it will be interesting to see how big it goes. keri: i have paid an enormous amount of fines because of infractions. thanks in general wall street have been paying fines and pleading guilty. you have to wonder wh

used. russia said that th there is a lack of evidence in accusations of russia committing war crimes in syria. and the 19-year-old founds in the china landslide. >> the guide byes as th goodbyes as the manchester boss storms out of the press conference. >> we begin this hour with news that the united nations has agreed to recognize libya's new libya government. the recreation was created last week. >> there have been concerns that lawlessness and violence were allowing imto gain a food hold there. we have more from the united nations in new york. how important of a vote was this? >> it's a significant step for libya as they bring parties together to form the unity government. the government of national accord is officially recognized as libya's government. remember, libya has been so deeply divided since the far of muammar qaddafi with two competing rival governments in two different cities with armed groups fighting against each other. now there is so much instability in the country as a result the government has not been able to function for a benefit of the people so with all of that going
