>> narrator: as the war broke out, vladimir putin and george w. ened to be at the olympics in beijing. >> bush finds himself at the olympics sitting in the same row as putin. he has his wife, laura, and the king of cambodia move aside so he can sit next to putin and talk about it. but he knows the cameras are on him. so he's trying not to make it a big visible confrontation. but he's telling putin, "what are you doing here? this is not right-- you can't be doing this." and putiis basically telling him to butt out. >> narrator: the president who had looked io putin's soul had now reached a different conclusion about just who vladimir putin was. >> i remember the president saying, you know, "i don't know how, but we've lost him." putin was going in a different direction. and there was little that the administration, in president bush's mind, could do to putin back on that course. >> narrator: nearing the end of his presidency, bush would leave the increasing conflict with putin to his successor. >> they let vladimir putin, arguably, get away with it

david: i spoke to steve earlier for mo on vladimir putin's speech. ir putin has suspended russia's participation in this key arms control treaty. how much of a threat does that pose to western nations and is there a risk of an arms race for other countries such as china? >> i think it's a concern. this treaty was in trouble. both sides had been accusing the other of violating only last month, russia accused the kremlin of violating it. there were concerns that it could unravel. what was sought today with vladimir putin suspending russia's participation, he has not pulled out completely but he has suspended participation and that causes concern. i was speaking to military experts here today that said this is serious. this is the last remaining big nuclear arms deal and america. if that completely unravels, what you get after that is the danger of a w arms race. vladimir was already hinting that russia may restart nuclear tests if america does so. it's a serious moment. david: vladimir putin again blamed the west for the conflict in ukraine but are ordi

host: vladimir putin yesterday.t the end of that speech announcing a move on a long-standing nuclear treaty. suspending russia's participation in the new start treaty, this is the last surviving arms control agreement between the two largest nuclear armed powers. the decades long era of formal arms control may be dying. we will target more about the start treaty, the history, and what that means with the executive director of the arms control association coming up at about 9:20 a.m. eastern time. back to your phone calls asking you as we approach the one-year anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine watch should the u.s. role be? this is tony in texas. good morning. caller: good morning. do not take my words. just take the facts. trump trusted putin. tucker should work for putin. putin is the real nazi. he invaded many countries. on record. in europe. just like hitler's did in world war ii. host: this is terry in north carolina. republican. go ahead. caller: good morning. if you're a democrat that voted for jo

vladimir putin turned to businessmen who were withdrawing capital abroad. and now they are trying to return what was confiscated from them in the west, according to the president, they are considered second-class people. well, everyone has the choice to work for a foreign country or for their own. work launch new projects, earn money, invest in russia , invest jobs in the enterprise, help schools and universities of science and health, culture and sports in this way and increase your capital and earn recognition of the gratitude of people for a generation to come, and the state and society will certainly support you. another number of economic initiatives , the president proposed to increase the educational tax deduction for children from 50 to 100,000 rubles. and the deduction for treatment from 120 to 150.000. well, about the support of new regions, funds for national projects that are reserved in the budget for 24 years. they will be able to receive and use already now through interest-free treasury loans next april. they will be automatically redeemed.

les was not plotting to attack russia as vladimir putin said today. of russian citizens only want to live in peace with their neighbors. this war was never a necessity. it is a tragedy. president putin chose this war. every day this work continues, it is his choice. he could end the war with a word. it is simple. if russia stop invading ukraine, it would end the war. if ukraine stop defendant itself against russia, it would be the end of ukraine. host: that was resident biden earlier this week. here are some headlines from today's national papers on the one year anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine. from the new york times, president biden and zelenskyy form a strong bind i great to start to the relationship -- after a tense start to the relationship. this from the front page of the washington post this morning, a world deeply divided on ukraine, taking a look at how those around the world arguing this war. then this column from the op-ed pages of the new york times, a brief taking waste of war. this is what she writes, how sad human being s

vladimir putin wrote personally. before that , i met with the leaders of the faction, heard their opinion and will soon hear vladimir putin's speech . this is news on first hello in the studio of valery korablev. so the key political event, before which it remains quite a bit at noon, vladimir putin to address the federal assembly with a message. in it, the head of state assesses the state of affairs in the country and outlines the priorities in domestic and foreign policy, the most important statements that relate to every social issue, the economy, even a special military operation, its participants this year will also be present at the ceremony. in gostiny dvor. everything is ready. guests assembled on site several of our correspondents are working at once. and while there is still a little time before the start, we will see everything that is happening in gostiny dvor right now. well, konstantin panyushkin came one of he is the first to be in direct contact konstantin hello and everything is ready how are the sit

nuclear weapons, strategic weapons that the, the united states according to information that vladimir putin has perhaps intelligence reports could well carry out tests. now, putin said that russia will be for her to rush won't 1st come out and, and test nuclear weapons after moratorium that has stretched decades. but if the united states does carry out any such test, that russia must be ready to, to, to, to follow, are follow suit or the, the implications of russia pulling out of all suspending its participation and start vladimir putin was, was very clear on that. russia isn't even, it is marylee merely suspending, it's a eats participation in the new start treaty. the implications are potentially huge because start limits 8, the number of deployed nuclear weapons strategic nuclear weapons and tactical nuclear weapons. but also the various means by which they are delivered. that is nuclear weapons that is icbm continental ballistic missiles, the number of aircraft subscripts, strategic bombers that, that can be deployed all manner of inspections as well. here vladimir putin also remark, bu

president joe biden and russia's vladimir putin gave their competing views of the war ukraine. mr. n blamed the west for the war and suspended russia's paicipation in a nuclear arms treaty with the u.s.. for his part mr. biden found -- vowed that russia would never achieve victory in ukraine. he added support for kyiv and that support fm the u.s. and alous our reporter sent this ret from the polish capital, warsaw. reporter: in front of the lewin yellow colors, president biden -- came here to pject american might. >>adt 'ttkr bei wruhen tested, the whole world faced a test for the age tested, america was being tested, nato was being tested. all democracies are being tested. would we respond or would we look the other way? we did respond we would be strong we would be united and the world would not look the other way. ukraine will never be a victory for russia, never. >> this is a direct appeal to nato allies as well as to the refuting vladimir putin's associate -- assertion that the u.s. provoked this war, he spoke directly to the u.s. people. >> the united nations and nations of eu

i think it would be very wrong of the chinese to support vladimir putin in that way. would beijing now want to be contaminated by what putin is doing? why would they want to be associated with this gangsterrism and adventurism, i think it would be a disaster for china. and i hope very much that it won't prove to be true. but if it is true, it shows all the more clearly why we must now accelerate our support for ukraine. and double down on giving them what they need. and as i say, if not now, when? >> before i let you go, prime minister, i know you built a very deep and strong relationship with the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy. how do you think history will remember his leadership in this fight? >> i think volodymyr zelenskyy will be remembered forever as a president of a free ukraine who not only mobilized and galvanized his people but found the language to appeal to people around the world. i can tell you that here in the united kingdom, you will see ukrainian flags in people's windows of their homes. you'll see ukrainian badges on people -- people wearing

while western economists predicted a fall of tens of percent , vladimir putin said this during his messagembly the economic part of the president's address carefully listened to denis life denis well, in addition to macro indicators, putin spoke about specific measures to support business. what exactly, yes, he proposed to mitigate economic articles. and of course, this is such a frequent topic, not at all of the russian state and business. speaking about the russian economy, vladimir putin today said that it turned out to be much stronger than expected in the west. he also cited the latest data on russian gdp for the past year, which just came out last night. at the end of 2022 , the gross domestic product decreased. here is mehovich, he called, he says he would like you to say about it well, what yesterday, in my opinion, this information came out and the time was correct, as expected. everything is according to our plan. we were predicted. remember, a 20-25% 10 economic downturn is very recent. we spoke 2.9. i spoke a little later 2.5 domestic product. uh, 2022 is down two and one ten p

vladimir putin seems to believe that time is not on the ukrainian side.believes that if he throws the russian way of war mass at the problem, poor boys from dagestan that are cannon fodder, he'll wear ukrainians down, he'll wear us down, he'll wear the europeans down. i don't think that's right. but we have to do everything that we can to convince him it is, indeed, wrong. >> russia invaded georgia in 2008. >> yes. >> at at time, and i was reading the cables, you and bill burns were going back and forth whether ukrainian joins nato and that crosses that red line for vladimir putin. do you think now after all these years of waiting ukraine should be allowed into nato? >> that's going to be a hard lift because of the article 5 and an attack on one is an attack on all of nato. i do think that what we've seen is that ukraine is de facto a very strong ally of nato and vice versa and i expect that's going to continue because i think some form of security arrangements with ukraine will be necessary in the future and it's probably good to start working on that no

and richard, another argument that we've heard from vladimir putin. again, this is something that he's talked about many times before is that the west has a lie to the west has withdrawn from fundamental agreements and expanded nato all the way to rush as border is essentially creating as put in, put it a kind of a, an umbrella over russian territory threatening the stability in the security in the territorial integrity of russia. so this is why they had to defend themselves and start this war. is any of this actually accurate? well, i mean, this is basically the, the russian, you could say, narrative from proteins point of view is the explanation for why this war is taking place. why russia invaded ukraine, that the expansion of nato has been in his eyes a threat to russia. and that essentially he was forced to act. now one reason why i think he's, he's very keen to use this narrative is narrative that has some traction and get some understanding in some other parts of the world. clearly in china and when you look at the chinese position, which we he

then vladimir putin held a meeting on the development of the timber industry, the president said thatmains highly dependent on foreigners, which needs to be overcome, according to the president of the industry’s potential , it is necessary to build a strategic vector of development and help businesses with logistics disrupted due to sanctions vladimir putin said, that it is necessary to increase the depth of timber processing and noted that russia has huge safe timber russia accounts for one-fifth of the world's timber reserves. this is a huge natural advantage of our country, and from the point of view of ecology, from the position of industrial development , the question is how prudently we manage this resource. well, for reference, let me remind you that timber reserves in russia amount to 82 billion cubic meters in brazil 126 billion us 47 in canada 33 a relatively small amount of about 1% , to be more precise, but all for 99 days the availability of modern technologies and equipment for timber processing, while high dependence on foreign partners remains. i perfectly understand,

the russian leader vladimir putin has accused the west of starting the war in ukraine. a year after launching the invasion, mr putin has made a two—hour state of the nation address delayed from december. he claimed the west is seeking to destroy russia in a global confrontation. the existence of our country is at stake, he said. he also announced he's suspending russian participation in the last major nuclear arms control agreement with the us. ukraine says president putin has lost touch with reality. our correspondent richard galpin reports. for almost a year now, russia and ukraine have been at war. what was supposed to have been a quick strike by russian forces to defeat the ukrainian military failed. instead it has become a prolonged war, something vladimir putin had not expected. in his estate of the nation speech today, the president once again portrayed his country as the victim, claiming it is the west, and not russia, that had started the war in ukraine. russia, said the president, wasjust war in ukraine. russia, said the president, was just trying to stop the

vladimir putin called the right decision.tal saveliev, under sanctions , to leave foreign aircraft in the country , recalling the principle of the quote with wolves to live like a wolf. howl. at the same time, the president stressed that russia is not rude to anyone and is ready to pay for aircraft, but it is important to rely on domestic aircraft. for a year and a half, 229 billion rubles were allocated for the aviation industry. but the task is not just to preserve the industry, but to ensure its development in 2023, more than 50 billion are envisaged. now the authorities are counting on the timely arrival of new liners. new and ms-21, scheduled for 2024, as noted by vladimir putin, of a shameless order to ensure an acceptable cost for the economy, it is impossible to transport and air transport must rely on domestic products on domestic technology. here is the future, all our conversations with vitali gennavich are to be reproduced over previous years. we have known each other for a long time. well, let me open it up a bit

vladimir putin emphasizes action with a suspension, not a withdrawal. he also said he would put new nuclear systems on combat duty and pledged to resume nuclear testing if the united states did the same. anchor: the daughter of malcolm x plans to sue the cia, the fbi, and the nypd for his death. it has been 58 years since the civil rights leader was assassinated during a speech in new york. three men were convicted of his murder. but in 2001, 2 of the men were exonerated after an investigation found law enforcement agencies withheld evidence. >> for years, our family has fought for the truth to come to light concerning his murder. we would like our father to receive the justice that he deserves. the truth about the circumstances leading to the death of our father is important not only to his family, but too many followers, many admirers, many who look to him for guidance, for love, and it is our hope litigation of this case will finally provide some unanswered questions. anchor: let's speak to ronald sullivan, a director at the criminal justice institut

vladimir putin has been very bullish about the russian economy despite western sanctions. you have been taking a closer look. >> in his speech, we heard him say it has created new opportunities for russian businesses. he's probably referring to -- referring to things like the local brand that has taken over mcdonald's locations since the vast food brand closed its source last year. and the economy has shrank less than most economists predicted. analysts say the downturn could further deepen this year and point out inflation, as in other parts of the world, is rising, hitting about 11% in january. moscow zone statistics agency said gdp contracted by just 2.1%. that's fairly close to the imf's estimate. partly because while the eu and u.s. have cut trade ties, others have stepped in, with india and china becoming the biggest customers for russian oil. the chief economist at the european bank for construction and develop and said it's e years of careful planning by the russian government. >> the russian government has been sanction-proofing its economy ever since 2014, since

vladimir putin sred the stage with russian socials -- soldiers back from ukrne. as putin who ordered the invasion a year ago. from the sound of things, he has no intention of withdrawing his troops. >> their are battles going on right now on our historical frontiers for our people. courageous warriors e fighting like the ones standing here with us now. they are battling bravely and heroically. we are proud of them. let's give them three cheers. [applause] this is the picture the kremlin wanted. rush united. it is -15. you can see the place is packed. that doesn't mean that russians idolize vladimir putin and they are willing to come out to freeze themselves to support him. this is a highly staged managed choreographed concert. that doesn't change the fact that much of what vladimir putin says and does strikes a chord with a lot of people here. when vladimir putin speaks about russia reasserting itself and challenging the west, when he claims that russians and ukrainians are one people, it goes down well at home. >> they think as he thinks. they want what he wants.

in today's message , vladimir putin spoke about the state of affairs in the russian economy. rding to the president, turned out to be much stronger than the west thought, she could not overcome the risks of sanctions. putin sees the main task in bringing the economy to a strategic level. anna lazareva will tell what measures should help this. not only the military, but the economic front has turned the west against russia. however, the country has withstood, moreover, the economy, starting from the third quarter of 22, has entered a new growth cycle with a qualitatively different structure . they played here. often the initiative of small and medium-sized enterprises was noted by the president , he recalled that the decline in russia's gdp last year amounted to 2.1%, which turned out to be much better than forecasts that promised a fall by 10, and then 20%. the decline was only in the second quarter, and already in the third and fourth there was an increase. she foregrounded new promising areas, including the asia-pacific region and the domestic market. the russian economy and

president vladimir putin's address to the us federal assembly president of the russian federation vladimirbly. it became one of the longest, the head of state paid special attention to the topic of a special military operation a year ago to protect people on our historical lands. to ensure the security of our country, after the 2014 coup, a decision was made to carry out the operation. the president recalled that today there are also deputies of the state duma of the regional parliaments of municipalities on the front line, all parties participate in the collection of humanitarian supplies to help the front. thanks again. thanks for such a patriotic stance. speaking about relations with the west, vladimir putin stressed that russia not only firmly defends its interests, but also the position that in the modern world there should be no division over a civilized country, and all other exclusivity, including aggressive ones, should be stopped at recent conferences in munich sounded endless accusations against russia , it seems that this was done only to make everyone forget what the so-called

next, vladimir putin speech -- fred pleitgen is in moscow with more. >> so fred, we heard vladimir putin again from the conflict in ukraine a self defense, protect russia from western aggression. how did how is this speech received in russia? >> well, the vast majority of russians, anderson, quite frankly, are exactly in line with what vladimir putin said. it was interesting because we spoke to a pollster who said that 80% of russians are on board with the kind of messaging that vladimir putin is providing. those are his popularity ratings. and if you look at what he said today, where he was essentially saying that russia had tried to prevent this conflict, but in the end, they had no other chance, there's a lot of russians who actually do believe that. there are people on the streets who we spoke to, who said exactly the same thing. and who also said they believe that russia is going to see all this through. i did speak with some people who are in russian politics, and a lot of them, quite frankly, it seemed pretty relieved that vladimir putin did not go any further than he did. however

vladimir putin today called it the theater of the absurd., the west has already openly proclaimed the strategic defeat of russia as the goal and there is evidence that the united states is thinking about testing nuclear charges, how we will act in this regard grigory yemelyanov listened attentively to the president and delved into the history of the issue this was the most important foreign policy statement in the president's address and anticipating it, vladimir putin made it clear that this is not a threat, but our reaction to the threat is actually the recognition of a new reality created and not by us on the united states of america and their nato alliance to ignore their threats. our country simply does not have the right to unacceptable is that the united states began to reshape the world order. it is only for themselves solely for their own selfish interests. now , through nato representatives, they are giving signals, but in fact they are putting forward an ultimatum in russia . including the cis treaty. and we will behave as we plea

the reason, i guess, is simple — vladimir putin would like to see you cease to exist.lose to ceasing to exist has it come for you? well, we can say that, last march, tv rain, or dozhd, died. we were out of air for four months because, at the beginning of march, we were forced to leave the country, and most of ourjournalists left the country, and the tv station stopped operating. but then injuly, we decided to relaunch the tv station here in riga, and also we have a studio in amsterdam, because we know that millions and millions of people in russia, they are eager to get independent information, primarily about this war, but about the situation in russia as well. how do you know that? can you reasonably measure your audience? because, of course, right now it's an internet audience. it's via your youtube channel, if we're talking about people able to see you inside russia. so how do you know what the audience is? we know the audience of our youtube channel in russia. it's about 1k million viewers per month. we think that it's a pretty big number, but i think that potenti

vladimir putin will not change his spots.is the person that is committed to destroying ukraine. the goal of the sanctions now is to not to prevent or stop the war but make sure vladimir putin does not have as many resources to kill as many ukrainians as he wants. that is the idea. it frees the stop of russian petrodollars done on the third day of the war. those were sanctions against russian central banks. the second type of sanctions was to deprive vladimir putin of technology, of components to produce weapons. these sanctions were also introduced early on. in the end they were followed up by the exodus of western companies from russia which undermined russian economies abilities to produce sophisticated weapons. finally, i mentioned sanctions against russia. they have been used to undermine russian physical resources and currency resources and this is something vladimir putin needs to circumvent sanctions, to buy the technology through third countries and to buy military equipment from countries like iran and north korea. >

vladimir putin addressed the federal assembly for the first time on july 8, 2000.ncement took place in mra. in the kremlin hall, the message then lasted 48 minutes and 58 seconds and was called what kind of russia we are building. the usual presidential message lasts about an hour, however, in 2018 . the appeal became the longest the whole story lasted as well almost 2 hours 1 hour and 55 minutes. presumably the president's speech. this year it will last 1 hour, but the kremlin does not rule out that the message may take longer. but, for example, experts believe that this message will be historical in its content. well , let's see what topics the head of state will touch on here. well, last time in april 2021, the president's speech was now and 20 minutes long with the longest message. well, as i said, the president spoke in 2018, a year. well now. let's tell a little more about the venue of the ambassador. this year, vladimir putin will address deputies and senators in the moscow gostiny dvor - this is actually the second time that the venue has become the venue f

the main event today is vladimir putin's message to the federal assembly, which became one of the longest presidential addresses to parliament, lasting one hour and 45 minutes. in gostiny dvor. the ministers have gathered. senators. deputies are representatives of the clergy. this year, at the event, the participants of the special operation and a significant part of the message were invited. the head of state dedicated it to her, as he emphasized, russia is determined to consistently fulfill the tasks of protecting the population of donbass. the president also said, what will be the response of moscow in the case of the supply of long-range weapons, kiev they took weapons. step by step, we will carefully and consistently solve the tasks facing us. the more long-range western systems will come to ukraine, the further we will be forced to move the threat away from our borders. it `s naturally. targets to inflict russia as they say, this is a direct speech strategic defeat of russia what does this mean for us what is it? this means doing away with us forever, that is, they intend to transfe

i and it may be speeded up if vladimir putin wasn't in power. but of course that's not on the table at the moment. his concern is what's happening in ukraine today. he's aware that the, the fighting continues and the loss of life continues. but he, he's full throated and his commitment, and he hopes that message reaches beyond vladimir putin and any to allies and europe. and those of committed to the alliance that joe biden and the white house insist that he has put together. and that's also a message to those back home who may doubt america's commitment to ukraine, particularly when you hear that they're sending 500000000 dollars of support. additional support and there will be more because they've already said that they will continue to back this and that are the was to suggest that the u. s. shouldn't be involved. busy in this fight, he is saying, look, this is a battle for what are american values. and while they are fighting, not in europe, and america must stand up for those sort of democracies. i. and he said it's a battle, as he said, fo

vladimir putin called it a starting point.e proposed from january 1 next year to the already planned increase. the minimum wage to spend one more as a result, it will grow by 18.5% to 19.242 rubles. the president spoke today about freedom of enterprise private business. according to him, under the sanctions, he proved that he can adapt to a rapidly changing environment. in this regard, i think it is right to return to the question of revising a number of norms of criminal law in terms of the so -called economic offenses, of course. of course, the state must control what is happening in this area , permissiveness cannot be allowed here, but it is also necessary to move more actively towards anything. uh to this criminalization that the government together with the parliament, law enforcement agencies will be business associations and followers will thoroughly carry out this work, at the same time. i ask governments, in close contact with parliament, to propose additional measures that will speed up the economic process. busines

we are vastly stronger vladimir putin? it's really very - simple. r, not even top—of—the—line, advanced military technology, if it comes to ukraine, ukraine will defeat putin on the battlefield. they will reclaim most, if not all, their country, and putin will suffer serious defeat. it will make it harder for will suffer serious defeat. it will make it harderfor him to will suffer serious defeat. it will make it harder for him to extend its control beyond ukraine to states that used to be part of the former soviet union, states that are now part of nato. soviet union, states that are now part of nato— soviet union, states that are now part of nato. office that you were former ambassador _ part of nato. office that you were former ambassador to _ part of nato. office that you were former ambassador to ukraine. i former ambassador to ukraine. explain the relationship between ukraine and russia.— explain the relationship between ukraine and russia. these are two se arate ukraine and russia. these are two separate countries, _ ukraine and russia. these a

does it lie with vladimir putin, and the machinery of the kremlin and the state?does it lie with the russian people? it's a very... it's a very difficult question. who is responsible for this war? of course, there are concrete people who are responsible for this war — vladimir putin, sergei shoigu, the minister of defence, sergey lavrov, the minister of foreign affairs, and other people. then, of course, we should talk about the fact that it happened in our country, and we, as russian citizens, we let things come to the point where this war became possible. but also, let's talk about how vladimir putin... just let me interrupt you for a second, if i may. yeah. i'm thinking back to the second world war, to the nazis, to this idea that many germans tried to say after the war, "we did not know," for example, "about the extermination of the jews, "of the scale of the holocaust. "we did not know." russians can't say, can they, that they do not know about the reality of the war in ukraine, that russian forces stand accused of egregious human rights abuses, of war crimes

vladimir putin sent a lule to the president of brazil.ndolences to in connection with the tragic consequences of the flood in the state of são paulo, the russian leader stressed that our country shares the grief of those who lost their loved ones . the natural disaster claimed dozens of lives. thousands of people were left without a roof over their heads. the landslide destroyed the roads. and this makes it difficult to provide assistance to get to the affected areas is now possible only by air. the message of the president of the russian federation vladimir putin to the federal assembly live tomorrow at 12:00 moscow time is a revolution of large models that are in fact already today overturning all social relations. right now, our eyes are showing signs of viral pneumonia. thread, that is, they do not say, i can not now. they say how much time i have all the time i can responsibly declare that the future has already arrived. if you bring the jews out of here , we will introduce you to the rank of alexander gitsenko. now i can only save t
