you wrote a book about vladimir putin, entitled "mr. putin: operative in the emlin," and your expertise in russia began at an early age as a student in moscow in 1987. i'd like to bring the conversation forward to today and draw on your expertise on russia and vladimir putin. putin served two terms, left the presidency, and then returned in 2012. after signing a law this past april, resetting his own term limits, putin could remain in power for more than another decade, until 2036. you had an incredibly close-up experiences with putin, both in direct interaction and in your research. explain to the viewers what concerns you most about his leadership. >> well, what concerns me most is this present moment. so, this decision that you lay out here, to stay in power, not indefinitely, but essentially so because if he is in power until 2036, he will have been at the helm in the kremlin, one way or another, for 36 years. he just turned 69. so by, you know, that period, he'll be 84. so, i mean, this is, you know, already getting himself into th

loving biden is a thing of beauty, so by definition vladimir putin must destroy it. it's like a sunset, a rose garden, a baby's smile. it's something lovely that must be defiled if russia is going to dominate the world. so in order to correct what is good and beautiful, putin has spread the lie that these expressions of your devotion to joe biden are instead attacks on

presenting vladimir putin, the credit reads, in power.m the broadway show cats. it it was without question the second most disturbing movie ever to feature songs from cats. in 1999 bore is yet sync a gruptly-- yet sin resigned to spend more time with his-- and putin became the second elected and first permanent president of russia. he proved himself not just the formidable head of state but a man of many talents. a beast master, an adventurer, a sportsman. and a born entertainer. ♪ on blueberry hill. ♪. >> vladimir putin is truly a quadruple threat. quinn it up fell one of the threats is making actual threats. but most of all, president putin is a protecter of russia's fragile democracy. a role he takes so seriously that every election he does whatever is necessary to stop interior candidates from wing. for this devotion his citizens have rewarded him with the presidency again and again. but literally unbelievable margins. >> vladimir putin will lead russia for another sick years. he cruised to an expected victory in yesterday's president

like vladimir putin.n. svetlana certainly became wealthy after _ vladimir putin. svetlana certainly became wealthy after the - vladimir putin. svetlana certainly became wealthy after the baby i vladimir putin. svetlana certainly i became wealthy after the baby was born. she landed a shareholding worth tens of millions of dollars in a controversial russian bank. the americans think the bank is a front for president putin's wealth. so they sanctioned the bank to stop it doing business in the west. brute doing business in the west. we tar: eted doing business in the west. we targeted it because it is known as kind of— targeted it because it is known as kind of the — targeted it because it is known as kind of the putin cronies' bank and we went— kind of the putin cronies' bank and we went after it very early. this was part — we went after it very early. this was part of— we went after it very early. this was part of the theory of going after— was part of the theory of going after the — was part of the theory

then after 3, i was wrapping up about an hour ago. vladimir putin addressed key thinkers into industry leaders at russia's top discussion 4 of the valve. i club with a speech and fielding questions. the woman free. i was in front of representatives of more than 50 countries in the resort of sachi, audi correspondent elliot katrinka, with air force some really eye opening comments by the russian president vladimir putin and their messages clearly being sent far beyond saatchi. far beyond the russian borders and the many things that he has touched upon, you mentioned some of them. i can name definitely current affairs that as covert of janice stan at the energy crisis in europe nord stream to as the controversial implementation of the law on foreign agents here in russia. these are some of the things that he's been talking about, but also the most importantly of some of the experts here have been pointing out. vladimir putin gave a very long speech in which he made some fundamental assessments of where the western liberalism is heading and assessment of a gender equality and also the cri

ok, let me bring in vladimir and asked this question. it seems the tactic president has been pushing the russian president vladimir putin to support the anti taliban. the lines you said earlier, i don't think russian troops are going to be going into tajikistan or into any kind of conflict with a ton of on any time soon. how likely is it that russia might give some backing to these anti taliban elements into g? stan, actually thank you very much for the question. this is a very good question. you're asking. i think that the, and again, i'm just assured that russia will try to use all diplomatic efforts to convince a dresser that on the look on this dilemma because it has a good contact section with both sides, always still a watch. so there will be a diplomatic, must have a solution to this crisis, but again, the, because the situation is that this is tom is a member and active member. so you go and say, oh actually, as i said before, should decide collectively whether, whether to react to director now with some, some more st. jude measu

but this method has especially proliferated on the vladimir putin. both times i was in a coma on artificial life support. and dr. so told my wife that had about a 5 percent chance to live with so many people in my generation, in russia, it was sort of inevitable to become really politicized. this did perhaps smoke the beginning of the end. the 1st conscious political memory was the democratic revolution in august of 1991 the 3 days that ended the soviet regime. as we woke up that morning in august of 1991, tens of thousands gathered at the cent russian citizens musk heights who refused to accept dakota. when are armed with anything i except their dignity and that determination to defend their freedom. and they went into the streets and literally stood in front of the tanks and then the tank stopped the soviet and turned away poise. this was my 1st conscious medical memory. i was chinese, although the times use yesterday roaring approval for every freshman. now the biggest fear of any autocrat is his or her own people. it has been like this throughout

what if vladimir putin intelligence gets there? first of dumps a sound and then flies him to moscow. that's a possibility. the paranoid cia offices thought brace yourself. the plan to counts of russians may just blow your mind. the cia left nothing to chance. the sand gets into the car with the russian operatives. the cia initiates a car crash with the russian diplomatic vehicle. god knows how many other londoners collateral damage is. they say, assange gets on the plane. the cia blocks, it's on the runway by shooting its tires, as well as anything. and anybody else's way. the plane takes off with a flat tire, the c, i a hovers a helicopter over, it still manages to leave the ground. they demand for the european countries close their recipes. we are still talking about catching julian assange, not the number one terrorist. oh, well, if you are an independent journalist who happens to cross the american government's path, the cia, it's pretty much the same thing. rule of law may not look like you. geo political analyst, patrick head

well, human, essentially, as you said, vladimir putin during a very high profile cabinet meeting. he's took to russia's energy minister alexander nova, and he has given very clear instructions to the minister at russia and its national gas exporting company gas promo that they must remain loyal and good partners. faithful partners of the e. u. even though the current situation with the current market prices of gas sticking to contractual obligations means a profit loss. a loss of profit for gas problem have a listen. as bruce, as she does, she has prom, believes that it would be more profitable for it to pay a fine to ukraine and increase the gas volume pumping through the new systems. but there's no need for that. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper and at $3000000000.00 a year, it is necessary to fully comply with the contractual obligations for the transitive gas through ukraine. although it is more profitable to sell it on the exchange that there is no need to put anyone in a difficult position, including uk

you talk about how you believe donald trump viewed vladimir putin.ler: both of these things are tied together. it was obvious to me in my time working with trump that it was not about russia, but it was about putin personally. president trump said all the time that for him putin was the ultimate. he admires the power that he exerted, the role he played on the international stage. everyone respects and fears him. he is an unchecked power, at least from the outside that is what it seems. certainly, he doesn't go through party, through parliament. it is just him and the russian constitution that underpins his influence and his position. across the wall, an impressive figure from the outside. trump admired putin. that tied into how putin was able to manipulate trump. about it what you feel about trump, he is charismatic. i described in the book's appeal. he is also incredibly thin skinned. he is quick to respond to insult , also very susceptible. anybody who follows him by -- on twitter could be retreated if they said something nice about him. putin didn

ah ah vladimir putin says russia is ready to boost gas deliveries to europe as energy prices surge. ah, my, my brothers and this is obviously alive from doe hob, also coming up. the u. s. president demands its largest port ones. 247 shelves lie empty, and prices are forced up because of a supply chain. log jammed on fighters. integrated, say they are facing more attacks by ethiopia as military typhoon called by su, heads towards vietnam. after leaving a trail of destruction in chinese province of high, nun ah, president vladimir putin is denying russia is behind an energy shortage in europe saying moscow is standing by to help. prices for natural gas have skyrocketed. but you, you says people are going to need support as winter approaches natasha. butler has more from brussels, reducing taxes on energy bills and financial help for poor households. were among the recommendations laid out by europe's energy commissioner to help member states shield consumers across the block from spiraling costs. our immediate priority is to protect europe's consumers, especially the most vulnerable.

settle down, vladimir putin, that's ridiculous.t they said and you can hear, it clearly if you open your ears to the truth, is "let's go, brandon." the nbc lady made that very clear. not f joe biden. let's go, brandon. who is brandon, you ask? another happy american grateful for the wise leadership of his benevolent president. brandon is a newly arrived american, part of what we call the biden generation. he's an undocumented trans haitian migrant enrolled as a film studies major at nyu. brandon is the embodiment of the new american dream where everything is free but everyone is still angry. just this month, thanks too joe biden, brandon got his fourth covid shot. that means he's an h incredibly good person, far better than you are. the crowd is simply celebrating that, as grateful people spontaneously do. let's go, brandon. let's get a fifth shot. let's go, brandon. once you strip away the russian propaganda, it's pretty obvious and natural, but it does make you wonder if you pause for a moment. p if the russians are lying about b

what did you think when you heard donald trump stand next to vladimir putin and side with vladimir putinthe same as everybody else, of course, and you know, i write in the book about some of my feelings in that particular moment. but it was also entirely predictable. because president trump did not want to be challenged at all about the outcome of 2016. he thought that if he admitted the russians had done something, it would be admitting to essentially saying, i was not elected. i am moscow's candidate. he didn't want to do that. and he also, most importantly for his perspective, didn't want to be shown up in front of vladimir putin. because he has this autocratic strongman envy, he saw himself as a vladimir putin. he doesn't see his staff, his cabinet members, anybody else around him as his peers. he doesn't take their word, you know, on anything. he just looks to his fellow strongmen. it's not about the country. it's about the person themselves and what they stand for, and he did not want to be shown up in front of putin so he was trying to deflect away the questioning, and of course w

looking brighter, vladimir putin stepping in. the u.s.-china dialogue. it looks like it will happen at the end of the year. you look at the data in the positive picture. mark: gmm probably doesn't reflect the full amount of exuberance we have seen. part of the strong recovery yesterday. in the middle of the day, we were weak. obviously recovered very strongly in the u.s. sessions. finishing up quite high. that is when you see the features not extending them. it kind of shows it is positive, green boxes across the board. not the exuberance coming in. the kospi, semiconductor stocks, leading gains in asia. we also see some gains with asian currencies. anna: sort of the risk on theme. and we have the risk on moves across these markets. let's get into the conversation about where we see the debt ceiling conversation going. democrats signaled they would accept mitch mcconnell's offer to raise the u.s. debt ceiling into december. it alleviates the immediate risk of a default, but kicks the can further down the road after financial and corporate leaders were en

our top story. boiling gas prices have been reduced to more of a simmer after intervention from vladimir putin. we said russia will rump up exports to europe addressing the continents energy crisis. on wednesday, the president added that moscow would continue its commitment to ukraine in regards to gas transit. as boom as ship h. yes. prom believes that it would be more profitable for it to pay a fine to ukraine and increase the gas volume pumping through the new systems. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper under $3000000000.00 a year, but there's no need for that. it is necessary to fully comply with the contractual obligations for the transitive gas through ukraine, although it is more profitable to sell it on the exchange. but there is no need to bought anyone in a difficult position, including ukraine, despite the difficulties in relations. second has no need to undermine gas pumps. confidence is an absolute reliable pond that in all respects. vladimir putin also puts a current crisis in the european gas market. do

, even though in the pandora papers vladimir putin was not even named. so that's a bit a bit interesting. but the investigation primarily deals with more or less obscure people. i mean, we have some examples being the king of jordan. so offshore properties, personal properties, the purchase of several theatres, by the general director of russia's channel one he was said to have been a silent partner in this operation. but he's already commented publicly that he hasn't concealed anything about his business dealings in connection to this. one higher profile mentioned though, the ukranian president vladimir zalinski in 2019 he was elected and most in large part on his platform of promising to rid the country of corruption. and ukraine is notoriously, hasn't a problem with corruption. and according to this investigation, he actually transferred 25 percent of his stake in a foreign at an offshore company to his personal friend who is now the top presidential advisor. so, so far he hasn't commented on that seems a little bit shady, but no confirmations. usuall

you think that vladimir put not a little tap on his desk that he could turn and immediately shows off the gas to some parts of europe. that's of course not the case. and in fact, vladimir putin, his slam, a criticism that has been headed russia's way, is absolutely baseless. he's also it out that russia has actually increased the supply of gas that is being sent to europe. what is interesting though, is, while there's a lot of criticism in the media from you repay and leaders in european politicians, very different message is coming across one that says that russia isn't responsible for the current rises in gas prices, the latest european leader to add his name to the core is saying not as being a french president of manually micron. who said that market forces are behind the current situation we're facing in europe when it comes to gas. i have no evidence that has be manipulation of prices and i'm not accusing anybody. these are trading relations. they shouldn't be used for geo political reasons. plenty more to come from this year's g 20 in rome and it later on saturday. that would b

so in that context, vladimir putin is flexing his muscles, playing a bit hard to get, getting a bit of extra attention by not appearing at cop-26. we're all talking about his non-appearance. we're not talking about him if he were going. and similarly with the g20 saying he's not going to go to that appearance either. meanwhile at home, isa, the covid pandemic is beginning to spin not quite out of control, but certainly out of control of the moscow authorities and indeed the national government. with vladimir putin signing a decree just a couple days ago to enforce a week long national holiday at the end of this month to try to get -- try to break the cycle of infections that are now seeing daily death tolls of over a thousand, and climbing every day, isa. >> very quickly, i mean, how much of this is a distraction, sam, from exactly what is happening at home? >> reporter: well, i think it's a distraction in terms of the international community who are always slightly on the back foot having to kind of respond to vladimir putin's initiatives. at home, though, given the extent to which he
