that's his thinking that the west is talking. having said that, i think that, you know, i have deja vu because western powers - after a while this crisis is not going anywhere. vladimir putin is desperate. despite there is no opposition of the crackdowns, he had to do something dramatic. i still think in this time he will not be able to, you know, overcome the crisis. basically he - there's no way he can carry through. ukraine is too big. europe and america have experience, the western powers are not going to tolerate this behaviour from a country that doesn't have adequate resources. i think this time it will signify the end. it will be messy. i'm afraid it will not be nice. >> crimea is not that big. you have said that western governments are more leverage than they realise to move russia, they need to apply it. what is the leverage, do you think they will apply it. >> simple things. last time i was in florida, it's full of bits of russian government officials, oligarchs. they have houses there, the lifestyle, they buy houses i

for him when west imposes sanctions, no, you can't trust west again. lavrov said, you never keep your promises. now you don't keep your promise again. even in the economy you want to banish us for what we think we're doing right in crimea. a lot of people in russia are lying that. >> ambassador. wouldn't it have been the more predictable move once you win in crimea to start building things down rather than building them up. >> the crisis isn't over yet. he's trying to show, i'm in charge. i can make things happen. i'm not worried about your sanctions. let's see what happens over the next several weeks. it is possible that he will then move , which i would really think would be unlikely because that's a major escalation. it doesn't border on russia. it's the west of ukraine. there is no case to be made whatsoever after all, crimea was part of russia until 1954 and nikita kruschev made a birthday present of to his native ukraine. if putin holds where he is, deescalates in terms of not making provocative moves towards others, then there might be other thi

those areas west of d.c.ur day planner is calling for these showers into the afternoon, middle of the afternoon at least. then by late afternoon, evening, looks like the showers will start to push east of us. a slow climb toward 45 or so. that could be a late afternoon, evening high temperature. we've been watching moisture. had the showers yesterday morning south and east of us. this morning you see how they're pushing in from the atlantic toward norfolk? you see the easterly push right there? the moisture is coming in, making the turn up the mountains and coming toward us. not much going on but we have a few returns here toward fauquier county. looks like right on route 17 here between loudoun and jefferson county, west virginia. a little east of berryville. 340 runs right there so to speak and back over to winchester. that's about it. the radar is quiet now. i do expect to see a lot more on it a little later this morning through the afternoon. temperatures mid- to upper 30s in most spots. we can drop a cou

i'm not so sure the west is prepared. i saw the british government saying things about london because it will collapse the prices in buying houses there. but the west goes beyond that in objectives because of interest. it's a very short time. it will destroy the west. >> charlie: do you think putin is desperate? that this is an act of desperation by him in order to cover up failures at home? >> look, putin knows better than anybody there is no middle class and an increasing movement, but also he's a very paranoid person and, you know, for instance, in ukraine was done by cia. i'm sure cia is scratching their heads. they're still guessing how it happened in the ukraine. but for putin, what happens here magnifies what happens inside russia. it's almost a perpetual way for his existence. i heard president obama saying putin is taking pause but it's the pause that wants to tune down the vigilance of the westerners, will go for crimea then something else, and my guess would be the baltics. because they're members of nato. out

and then you will have a west which is made new rig. in terms of. seeking to coopt it within the european the western set and then obviously there are problems for russia it's going to react which is what i have been suggesting that you threaten the basic interests of the russian federation and expect that they will not be a reaction and of course despite the consequences this is a major question of geopolitics because. the russian federation cannot be at the mercy of the west in terms of its base. whether it will stay there and how long it will stay there and it is obviously question of possible blackmail. well variety of reasons i think. in my view it was clear that the russian state would take action of co-opting. the middle of all of the western powers in this particular instance and i think that is what you what they did because we all know i was going to suggest that we all know. how during. he was made a folk hero by the list and they walked all over here and all over the russian federation and there they call. despite the provinces it is now

back to the west like areas of west virginia you can see clear skies there. that's what we're in for this afternoon. plenty of sunshine and our temperatures warm nicely. get out and enjoy it. 60 for a high in washington. manassas, 58 leesburg. areas like loray, petersburg and charlottesville into the mid 60s today. even for the evening hours, you have plans for your friday night it is going to be comfortable this evening with temperatures generally in the 50s during the evening hours. you can leave that winter jacket at home tonight. just grab the lighter jacket. for tomorrow, if you like the weather today, you'll like our saturday. it's almost the same kind of setup with clouds around for the morning hours. they'll clear out the for the midday hours. breezy once again and a little bit warmer tomorrow. a high temperature tomorrow of 62 degrees. so another very pleasant day in store. another spring-like day in store. and then we start to see a change in our weather. sunday, a high temperature of 45 degrees. plenty of clouds around throughout the day. so it's n

also i'm on the west and reactions hopefully the west would react with the time being we see that all the sections that are designed and launched a heart beats it completes its because of the new russian president is moving. costly antics. first a joke for all for new sanctions that have the most cannot say it could not avoid what was going on now we need for much more reaction and it's it's unfortunate that we only know the west is thinking about how to shape the sanctions until all these periods since the war between georgia toes and feet. nothing was done too to think about them to to to have a much more. it's a proactive strategy towards the course the russians on in addition sections of course it's essential to this conversation the first island you're just back from moscow yes we know that opinion surveys show that putin is up in the poll ratings. you heard what he said about the last minute quick we just played. today was a big moment for sure. hey i've talked to some people and there as well as seen on the map on the situation and it's it's it's a moment certainly for rollin i

this is, as you say, in the west bank. under palestine authority. >> i don't think it's between whoever. this is an occupying power, whether in gaza. whether in any place. they act the way they want to act, in terms of undermining all efforts in the peace process, and we condemn the action, and we hold the israeli government fully accountable for such actions. the whole point of israelis is they think they can solve the problem with the guns, and this is wrong. this is wrong. this is a policy that the committee should stand firm in condemning, and it's time to hold the government accountable for the action. >> where does the latest incident leave those u.s. brokered peace talks. which seem so have very much derailed in the past few months. there has been little progress. >> i think you are right. actions are succeeding in derailing these peaceful efforts. when we speak about 11,000 housing units introduced sips july -- since july 29th. 59 palestinians have been killed in the last six months. is this a policy of a governmen

the west is attempting to punish russia after it took steps to protect crimea strict measures against twenty one individuals i have signed a new executive order that expands the scope of our sanctions the true impact of washington's actions is being questioned by u.s. politicians past and present these sanctions are pinpricks and you know we sent the secretary of state john kerry aligned and to negotiate with russian foreign minister sergei lavrov that's like sending a cupcake to negotiate with a steak knife and even us based journalists what is the definition of success in this incident if this is the label that has come from leadership washington is wrapped up in an attempt to teach a crash course on the application of double standards the law does mean something. that there are costs attached throwing its own short term memory out the window that we need. to hear. our responsibilities as nations to live by these international laws standards so that we can expect that others will to accuse in russia of a land grab at gunpoint russia's actions in crimea run roughshod across all of th

fritz, we don't often see eyes off the west coast. does that mean we're still awaiting the most intensity? >> you're right, brian. the eye is the center of the storm, and that has yet to make landfall. we're just getting the initial funnel systems, the initial waves. in a four-hour period this morning, we did more rainfall than we've done all season. 3 to 4 inches and even more in some of the foothill areas. in the recent burn areas in the san bernardino mountains where miguel was. we may do this amount again tonight or greater. we've had 4 inches in some of the heavier spots. an average los angeles rainfall is 15 inches. so it's a big storm, but in our classic style, we've done too much, too soon. when you a lot of rain in a bridgestone/firestone period of time, we get the mudslides, the debris flows and the urban flooding we're having right now and a lot of snow at the local mountains. it's not a drought buster. this probably is not it, brian. >> all right, fritz coleman in los angeles for us. fritz, thanks, as always. >>> now we go

because that is that the west doesn't like this the west doesn't like that well i don't. the russian people and vladimir putin don't really care what the west likes and doesn't like is this a new cold war or are we getting into a new world order as marcus said. yes i think very much so and one thing it should be noted that actually the events that we have seen in the crimea can be directly related back as well to the events in two thousand and eight when a u.s. backed neo liberal neo conservative saakashvili regime in georgia tempted by force to annex south and in the process killing un approved russian peacekeepers which caused russia to react back restoring the provinces and the breakaway provinces and then recognizing them as independent states that is the first indication and quite clearly russia's. red lines were crossed at the time and the west didn't learn its lessons and once again they went into the ukraine attempting once again to flip the government as they did earlier with the orange revolution this time with the addition of several thousand nationalist parami

future from the west is extremely conditional on. i.m.f. conditionality new liberal shock therapy that will have disastrous social economic effects for the population that employment reduction and pensions education costs i think we're looking at. i would say a completely viable regime in kiev in the medium term our talk about the costs of taking on crimea i'm talking about paying pensions. examples like that it's not booming economy is it crimea no it's not the economy has a lot of potential both for tourism and for energy but as i've said earlier it has been left rather undeveloped so russia has already given indications that pension levels and other social benefits in crimea will be raised up to russian levels which are higher than they are in ukraine and that's before the cut that the rest of ukraine may soon be facing so obviously in the short term this will be a big draw on the russian budget at a time when it is probably also going to be affected by western sanctions. but i think for russia there are considerations more than just the

putin, but in this particular case it is a mistake of the west i would say the west is not in touch witheality of the world of mr. putin. mr. putin is pretty serious in this particular engagement. he's not going to give up to economic pressure. he's very serious to grab crimea and establish control over ukraine and establish control over a some other parts of the poor soviet world and the approach could produce desired effect should be different. >> sir, it is a pleasure to talk to you. thank you for being with us and giving insight on a to this. a former chief economic adviser to president putin. >> coming up, forget about natural gas and oil, we are talking about the dirty form of energy, coal, mined in the united states and why more is leaving the shores and headed to other countries. continues. >> join us on consider this... >> president jimmy carter joins antonio mora >> my administartion has a very strong human rights element. >> his perspective on the conflicts facing the world in the state of america. on al jazeera americari your global news leader. i feel like there are many sto

he seemed so full of recentment against the west? do you think the west has missed the anger? >> he is on a nationalist kick. he feels russia has to be a great power again, and that is where he is strategically wrong. he is headed for isolation if we can manage it, and it is important that he get a good heavy dose of that. and then it is significant that when he gets in trouble and his ratings go down, he usually battles against the u.s. on moscow radio, and we have seen a bit of that today. but it was tempered. think this is the kind of issue in which emotion cannot prevail. we have to be coldly careful. we have to tell our friends they have to treat their russian-speaking friends as equals. we should look for absolute fairness in ukrainian elections. >> thank you. in other news now from around the world. a website in russian is reporting the death of the chechen leader in the north. the media have nicknamed him russia's bin laden. they didn't give details of how he died. this group is responsible for a string of bombings. two people aboard a news helicopter have been killed

>> i think people here see and hear what the west is saying, and instead of looking at the west, they look towards moscow and say, "we're coming home", a lot of people believe this is an independence day. for decades a lot of people did not want to be part of ukraine. they have absolutely wanted to be part of russia, they are russian speakers and feel they are closer culturally, physically and spirit outlinely to russia and moscow. they have wanted to be part of that process and part of that country rather than look west. now, there is a minority population, and they have been silent. some 10 or 20%. tatar muslims boycotted today because they were intimidated by weeks of harassment to simply not show up and say not only is the vot not going to count, but it's too dangerous to come out. the majority of people are letting off fireworks, they are partying in lenin square, in the middle of town. they are very much hoping that moscow and russia quickly annexes them so they can get away from the pro-western government in kiev. >> we are looking at the live picture, celebrations. have you he

why is it that the west was prepared to sacrifice that. wealth that's been extremely important question and he gets to the heart of the matter the ukrainian government and russia both repeatedly in the beginning of this crisis when in the eu was trying to force the ukraine to make what they call the civilization of choice enjoying this new association agreement on that night. any possibility of tri lateral negotiations between the three parties i e when it was requested by the uk me repeatedly. they have that indicated a complete lack of desire. to accommodate that russia's interests and the reflections of the economic realities on the ground of the importance of russia has by far the biggest trade partner with the ukraine. on this the a is a biggie mystique in european foreign policy and are starting to recognize its now i in fact there is over reportedly opened big disagreement even on sanctions where. european union members such as cyprus finland latvia and the pigs portugal italy greece and spain which of course are suffering economica

certainly saw the west as a -- as behind the fall of ukraine moving to the west. and he had here a situation where he had a real threat to what he regards as a spear of influence, the former soviet republic, when ukraine did turn to europe, even a turn to open up association agreement or free trade agreement, even that moved to the west was too much for putin. he has a stance, kind of a fanciful idea, he can build a eurasian union to be a counter-point to the european union. he knows it would be impossible without ukraine. >> what does he plan for ukraine? it appears crimea is under his control. there would be a referendum so the de facto authority is then bolstered by some kind of de jour authority. is he presumably going to try to influence the rest of ukraine through various kinds of intelligence operations, money, things like that, bribing politicians? that has been what they've done in the past after all. >> i think that is. those are the sources of their influence. this is a full-fledged black op in ukraine right now with multiple elements to it, information

what if the west increased its military collaboration with:? what if they increase their energy at boards? would mr. wooten still see this as tipping the balance in his favor? >> he has provoked the west. what is amazing is that prd has a great deal of interest in ukraine. they are dependent on russia for gas imports. there is a large russian ethnic population in ukraine. whatever coalition government would emerge would have to fax some russians. to sign aabout contract for aircraft development when this without. -- went bad. nato is going to focus on the east-west divide in a way that it has not done since the end of the cold war. it has made it certain that europe is going to increase its capabilities to accept liquid natural gas and other forms of natural gas. suddenly the russian economy is paying the price. russia is even more isolated. nato has a new lease on life. confrontingin start and second-guessing? run, could this come back and bite him? >> he will try to blame economic problems on the west. he has done that already. what is really
