hatred speech is banned in russia and all rude, so—called f words and so on, is banned in russia. but we published all the article about these words, with russian linguists, with russian experts, and scientists before the law came in power. and after that, they banned this article. it's against all rules. we published this article at i march, for example, and the law maybe ati may, state duma test this law. you're saying they applied is retrospectively? yes, retrospectively. when you are russian journalist or editor, you are like working in a minefield. every metre, every article should, or may, blow you. you decided to leave, you could have stayed. no. why not? you know, in this year, i realised that russia became new soviet union. and once i lived in soviet union. i didn't want to stay here. because? because soviet union is autocratic state. there is...there is something... the most hatred, the most hatred. it's absence of freedom of speech, it's absence of rule of law, double standards and so on. ijust realised that i do not want to return to soviet union. so your concern was o

has violated russia's violation russia shamelessly violates it the russians are violation of the agreement the russians have been violating i have documented is being violated by the russians let the charge sink in for a while and it's time to switch to threats here comes the pinnacle of the scheme and ultimatum if russia does not return to fall in verifiable compliance with the treaty within the six month period by verifiably destroying its violating missiles there launchers associated equipment the treaty will terminate other side of the story easy just stay deaf to any counter-argument and build on the empty accusations white house officials have named to the weapon they believe violates the end of treaty russia in turn invited to the u.s. to come and examine it personally but since the u.s. ignores russia's attempts at corp those offers are apparently worthless for washington's allies as well and the response russia has long violated the treaty i n of truth is no longer contributes to global and regional security totally agree with the u.s. decision u.k. and allies are clear that russi

russia wants to have equal. relations with the united states or russia doesn't threaten anybody. whenever we do anything it's we do this in response so we are defending ourselves no those situations we do not seek confrontation we don't want confrontation especially with the global power like the united states. how do you read that. well again here in britain we have actual institutions supported by the british foreign office and intelligence services the deployed journalists and think tanks so that what let me putin was saying just there is never disseminated to the british public i'm not sure about the other e.u. and nato nations but we have a thing called the integrity initiative it deploys think tanks to create this idea arguably in newsrooms up and down the country that the mere putin was saying there is just not true and that in fact russia as i said and this is reflected in the two exercises that have been occurring the past few months that in fact quite a separate and in complete opposition to what the president of russia was saying russia is in fact planning an invasion

it's clear to us that russia has violated this treaty and that's why we need to speak to russia from the german side the foreign minister and i will do everything we can to enable discussions within these six months. let's get more now on the e.u. reaction to this u.s. decision to pull out we're crossing over now to bucharest romania where correspondent our vessel has been covering you foreign ministers meeting barbara welcome to you we just heard from the german chancellor is she reflecting a common e.u. position on the u.s. decision to pull out of the i.m.f. treaty. largely yes because there is dismay of course all over europe was pretty much all european governments that the street need now is coming to an end even though everybody appealed to the two partners to still in gauge within the six months window that is left open to the beginning of august but nobody really holds their brass that this is going to happen but if you sort of take the next step and look at what comes behind that then directions very somewhat because the consequences from this are that you have particularly

to russia. but please look at the last words of the last interview of a polish foreign minister where it's been asking let's say a european nuclear force. with french and british weapons i don't think the french are ready to do so but priest. be aware that europe as a matter of fact is not to fret. a window in europe is not a threat but it could become a battle zone in america and russia that's what's worrying most of the europeans i believe i remember you have said previously that of those want to see i don't think anyone wants to see europe becoming a battlefield that's why i'm asking you how can hear of help you know not solve this issue of an afternoon but clearly there is no way out right now you know purposely said that person americans and the europeans have made too many mistakes in the past towards russia that they misjudged to needlessly corner dates is this whole situation around the island after treaty basically repeating the same mistake you only with your new where you could do it

some new technological thing i mean how much development is russia. adding in to developing new hypersonic he described that as a hypersonic rocket. they named a technical name is khan and it has a range of about one thousand kilometers it could be. it could target both sea based on land based. targets i'm not a military i just i don't trouble yourself about it already from moscow particularly the some of these weapons that were being put in europe could get here to moscow in about ten to twelve minutes so if you look at the range he's talking about he's worried about missiles in europe he's very he's making very clear that russia is building up its deterrent it is very concerned about all the syria particularly in the united states and he also makes it very clear that russia is not going to engage in an arms race based and then many of those weapons are produced on a cheap and he also made a very interesting point in. that i mean not compared to if you compare the american military expenses and military expenses i mean there is no comparison there. c

nor or russia are allowed to produce or test any such missiles in the future russia is saying that the u.s. withdrawing from the street he could trigger a new arms race a moscow has long accused the u.s. of making all to mesdames russian president vladimir putin said the us was searching for any possible reason to withdraw from the treaty first the american side says it wants to leave the treaty then they start looking for reasons why the main reason given is that we are violating something of the same. time no evidence of this was presented. and now president donald trump goes further and openly suggesting creating its own so-called military response will move forward with developing a response option some will work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia any mildred vantage from its a lawful conduct so this seems the fall we play into the hands of the u.s. as it develops its own new nuclear weapon and further expands its military capabilities the head of the foreign affairs committee of russia's federation council says that the u.s. decision proves washington's quote i

we provided russia a window of time to amend its way and for russia to honor its commitment. tomorrow that time runs out. russia refused to take any steps to return real compliance over these 60 days. the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the inf treaty effective february 2. we will provide russia and the other treaty parties with formal notice the united states is withdrawing from the inf treaty in six months. pursuant to article 15 of the treaty. russia has jeopardized the united states' security interests and we can no longer be restricted by this treaty while russia flagrantly violates it. if russia does not return to verifiable compliance in a period by destroying launchers and equipment, the treaty will terminate. before close i want to give a , special thanks to our nato allies, who stood with us and our mission to uphold the rule of law and protect our people. their solidarity reflects the historical strength and unity of the nato alliance. their support is good for our shared security. it is good for international peace and security. presiden

with russia has thousands of intermediate range rockets and missiles and russia has nothing to counter them now in the meantime since two thousand and four there was a slight warming of relations between russia and china so they the russians back pedaled on that but now they're getting really worried and that's why they're very happy i they provoked this they're very happy to be out of it tonight can i bring you back to china a bit later i'd really like to stay with the question of breach and evidence and three on that because i think what we nuclear deterrence is always a system of beliefs. it's. like like theology. and threats beliefs to. we don't have any. proof that we could follow that we could. argue ourselves look at whether there is a breach of the treaty or not well what did you get us made it to the defense officials made a tour to different right capitals saying they were presenting evidence that doesn't sound like theology that sounds like hard facts the u.s. for two years of three years didn't say which means i was the preach it was research was first detected that bitch w

we need russia suppose ok so. what if we speak to bill greatly if we speak concretely right because that what you're saying words of a true diplomat but if we're speaking can critically applying to the problem of today will ability if there were russians move the missiles in question beyond the euro mountains that will still leave the united states miss our system in place in poland and romania and nobody is planning to move or dismantle them can we expect a benevolent peace gesture from one side without the other following sit. you know . quite well because the russian side is considering the missiles. as a sort of frett. understand. if you take into . the real. deal these missiles. are for it it's more psychological than anything else and therefore i think we should come. down to earth. and to look in a realistic way and fees questions and disciplines to request as it applies to russia. but please look at the last words over the last interview of a polish foreign minister which has been let's say a european nucl

wants and give russia what russia believes is due a dominance of least in the eastern parts of the continent but we were just listening to president putin pst speak and he said he would wait until quoting him as partners had maturity and i have to conduct an equal meaningful dialogue what's the point of adopting what sounds like a really just disrespectful tone in addressing washington. well back to you mr adams from the your understanding in the kremlin you know belief in that has been promoted by the russian generals russia through this program through classes where at least ten years of rearmament has achieved military superiority and that's a fact and the west should recognize that fact and made political concessions stop the sanctions recognized granny nice person you're crazy and remove forces from the baltics from oh and then there's a long list of what russia wants ok defense analyst pavel felgenhauer in moscow thank you for those insights. it is a crucial weekend in the bundesliga title race with challengers byron and dortmund both facing tough away battles league leaders dortmund w

of russia everything is anti russia criticism or russia i mean there this is a time when we need more dialogue not less dialogue because we do have the basis for common ground in dealing with the issues that confront us a nuclear proliferation and the nuclear threat and the standoff as well as that the nato expansion. is crucial to us russian relations now we need to be talking about this. falling out of this treaty at this point is the exact opposite of what the united states should be doing us it is freezing the deal for now but says it will be over in six months without what they say needs to be russian compliance do you take them seriously or not do you think they still generally want to keep this daylight. it depends on who you're talking about the people who are driving this primarily john ball ball and in my history the one who is first agreed upon bolton has been talking about pulling out of this treaty so years now and threaten you know more and morning about russian noncompliance but ball doesn't trust any international treaties that he brought to maurice and it's also a nuc

and russia. welcome to. europe can find itself the epicenter of confrontation between major powers their historic i know our history on the word. collapse in washington opposing the nordstrom two pipeline. in germany stands tall and defamed to its interests while i ask you him bitterly if the former advisor to hell let's call and german ambassador to nato. midrange missile treaty come up since europe might once again because of the cross. with europe's leaders do to salvage the remains of the arms control system the e.u. jumpstarted princess from the rubble of the old one who could nothing stand in the way of a new arms race. the former advisor to how would call in german or embassador to nato welcome to the show it's great to have you with with us mr bitterly so lots going on lately hero would likely suffer in the case of a missile standoff between russia and the us and the e.u. foreign policy chief said our economy or any says europe as a want to become the battlefield for confrontation between the two pow

russia wants to have a proper friendly and equal relationship with the u.s. russia does not pose a threat to anyone and the actions we take or retaliate. that is to say in defense we never seek confrontation we do not want to especially with a global power like the us and this was the point when the russian president may even have sounded aggressive definitely serious the russian president began to talk what his country would be forced to do an r. and d. and actual military deployment if the western military expansion continues. russia will be forced to produce weapons that can be used not only against those territories with direct threats originate from but also against the places where the decision makers are located we should let the u.s. take into account the range and speed of our prospective weapons and then they can make a decision that might create an additional threat to our country however we kept hearing it time and again that the bear only rewards when someone attacks it anything that russia would choose to do will only be in response to hostile a

western capitals with his own view was quite a confrontational step but a confrontational speech to russia was not for me anyway. as a response and show since nature. hello there welcome the latest developments and a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to watch the weekly here on r.t. international now the turmoil in venezuela has increased after trucks carrying u.s. aid amassed on the country's borders with colombia and brazil sparked severe clashes the checkpoints between opposition supporters and those loyal to president nicolas maduro. or following those clashes venezuela's self-proclaimed leader. of the world to consider all options to liberate the people of venezuela he disputes the legitimacy of president dura claiming the last elections were rigged also announced his plans to be to meet with the u.s. vice president on monday to discuss the situation all the president nicolas maduro meanwhile has expressed serious concern about washington's real intentions in sending aid he maintains he is the rightful president of venezuela a post he's been in since twenty t

that's just the prime minister of russia defending the president of russia." >> no, i'm gonna ask you that question. at what point do you draw the line and n accuse the president of the united states without any evidence of being an agent of russia? >> yeah. he's betrayed our country, and i don't say that lightly. i worked as a prosecutor for seven years, and i -- >> but betraying the country -- by the way, we want evidence before you say that, but you said an agent of russia. >> yeah. he works on their behalf. since he met with vladimir putin in helsinki in july, where he took the interpreter's notes or hasn't told any u.s. official what they discussed, he has taken us out of syria, which is a top priority of russia. he sought to diminish or pull out the u.s. from nato. and he's easing sanctions on vladimir putin's friends, who are under investigation -- >> but he did pass sanctions against russia. he has armed the ukraine. he has killed 200 russians in syria. i mean, those aren't the actions of an agent of russia, either. >> he signed, i think, you know, begrudgingly, sanctions agai

violations by russia. our american partners have said they were suspending their participation in the i.n.f. treaty and we will suspend ours also then they were conducting research and development and we will do the same. ok more details and on court is following the story for us in moscow don good afternoon moscow then has issued its response what now. you can hear me sandra farmer in the studio in moscow we hear that moscow has issued its response what now. well russian president vladimir putin's mer response means that not only will there be a temporary were suspension of russia's part in the i.n.f. treaty but also that research will be carried out to achieve parity with the u.s. efforts now president putin said that the us the us is lack of support for russian suggestions of disarmament on the world stage is actually causing a danger to international security however he also said that russia will not embroil itself in a costly and drawn out arms race with the west now russian foreign minister sergei la

will russia be developing . kind of launched missiles that can go supersonic that's right now an open question that process will require time and effort but the cruise missile thing is ready for deployment according to the u.s. intelligence that this is being already deployed and not going to be deployed legally in six months there was concern by some that the withdraw off the u.s. in the beginning could lead to an arms race and now we're hearing russia is withdrawing as well so in your opinion could this actually really lead to an arms race and what does this all mean from a defense perspective lou an arms race in need i mean that's who you know and that's impossible much because the united states has nothing to do they don't have any missiles ready. six months that they've been deployed they have to actually develop new missiles new groups missiles and then trying to put them may be well on land watch or somewhere in europe or somewhere russia can how much russia will deploy that's not the question but didn't

with russia. the president said he did not believe that north korea had the capability to hit us here to which the president replied i don't care i believe a former. leader of the russian us it. so when we report our french. faith. to the world this is your r.t. international your company my name. we begin with breaking news this hour the russian defense ministry has presented new images of a successfully tested on. water drone called poseidon here is video all of those tests on the new weapons system is just a few seconds long but it is exclusive footage news they had been successful came immediately after of love him or putin gave his i knew all the states of the nation address the president said in his speech that the drone could be in full operation by spring so that's within a number of months time it's been described by most school as a planned modernization of military capabilities to conjure hostile u.s. moves here's what both the russian defense minister russian leader and the say about p

russia wants to have a proper friendly and equal relationship with the us russia does not pose a threat to anyone and the actions we take or retaliate about is to say in defense we never seek confrontation we do not want it especially with a global power like the u.s. used in the treaty so that was the point when the russian president began to talk about other things where he might even sound sound a bit aggressive and definitely the things that he said the words were very strong and very serious he spent a few minutes explaining what the country will be obliged to do in terms of r. and t. r. and d. in terms of military expansion in terms of military deployment if it was forced to defend itself against some sort of military actions by its adverse sarees. russia will be forced to produce weapons that can be used not only against those territories where the direct threats originate from but also against the places where the decision makers are located russia wants to have a proper friendly and equal relationship with the u.s. russia does not pose a threat to anyone or any actions we take

russia has long accused the u.s. of making all tomatoes russian president vladimir putin said the u.s. was actually searching for any possible reason to withdraw from the treaty. first the american side says it wants to leave the treaty then they start looking for reasons why the main reason given is that we are violating something but at the same time no evidence of this is presented. and so now mike pompei o goes even further and openly suggest even creating its own so-called military response. move forward with developing a response options to work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia mildred from its a lawful conduct. so this seems like it's fully playing into the hands of the united states. states or would be in violation of the basic rule of the treaty and further developing its own military capabilities ok thank you down there that was done cohen in the united states for us we get more reaction now to enjoy and join rainer office is it your political analyst in consultant in these where this

treaty to this day russia remains in material breach of its treaty obligations russia's violation russia has jeopardized the united states' security interests russia's shamelessly violates the russians are a violation of the agreement there's no mistaking that the russians have chosen to not comply with the treaty of washington's official beef is with this particular system but see russia says that it's in full compliance with the demands of the treaty moscow was even ready for reciprocal inspections of nuclear facilities but washington acted as if nothing happened but withdrawing from the treaty actually opened a whole range of possibilities for the us to perfect their own missiles for example this bad boy it's much smaller than your average nuke but also much better for conventional usage production already started back in september and the donald has promised there's more where that came from we will move forward with developing our own military response options and will work with nato and other allies and partners to deny russia any military advantage from its unlawful conduct of cou

has long accused russia of violating the treaty without actually providing any credible evidence russia has jeopardized the united states' security interest and we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while russia shamelessly violates the us is accusing russia of testing and deploying an intermediate range missile meanwhile russia has actually exhibited the missile and given detailed explanations of its characteristics moscow is strongly denied washington's accusations saying its land based missile get fully complies with the ins requirements and u.s. officials didn't even bother to attend the last thing of the missile on december which they were invited to this treaty the i.n.f. treaty is crucial for the balance of powers it was signed back in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven by the united states and the u.s.s.r. and it stipulates that both countries destroyed missiles within the five hundred to five thousand five hundred kilometer range under the agreement now neither the u.s. nor or russia are allowed to produce or test any such missiles in the future russia is saying that

it's cloth us for us it's clear that russia has violated this treaty and that's why we must talk to russia and from the german side we will in any case do everything we can to make to it's possible within the next six months. to a nuclear bomb when it comes to relieve their american counterparts told us during the official meetings on various issues of disarmament and arms control that the decision to withdraw from the i and if treaty is final and not negotiable route of the world out of something this is the statement in which it looks. somewhat contradictory those two statements do you think there is room for maneuver here if both parties have to will to really negotiate that should be room for maneuver but again i think they will only. negotiate or safe the treaty if they have the interest to do it and as long as both sides are looking much more to china than to europe i don't think it's very likely that we'll see this treaty seifert ok again i want to save the china topic just a little bit longer alan german m.p.'s from both the conservative and the social democratic party have said th

to russia? from the german side we will in any case do everything we can to make talks possible within the next six months. we don't display show through a movie can. unlimited comes to lead our american counterparts told is during the official meetings on various issues of disarmament and arms control. that the decision to withdraw from the i a group of the global order some their this is their ststatement. and we do. it looks at the somewhat contradictory those two statements -- do you think there is room for maneuver here. if both parties have to will to really negotiate that should be room for maneuver. but again i think -- they will only reno great renegotiate or safer treaty if they have the interest to do it and as long as both sides are looking much more to china and to europe. i don't think it's very likely thahat will -- cedar street to safety okay again i want to save the try to talk just a little bit longer. island german mps from both the conservative and the social democratic party

russia is anti-democracy. they think democracy is brittle and they can go got it in ways that make the u.s. weaker on the world stage and allow russia to do more of what it wants. host: you think motivation matters. guest: i also think tactics matter. to hack into a domestic political campaign and then share the contents of that campaign's internal communications with a domestic electorate to skew the results, that is not a tactic the united states has engaged in but that is part of russia's play. host: we will see with our reviewers agree. independence: 202-748-8002 start dialing in. you mentioned a coalition of the united states and our allies together combating this type of interference in an election. what with the coalition look like? and are there any models out there from previous incidents that other countries in the united states could use going forward? helps that this is not a problem distinctive to america. europeans suffered from russian democracy interference before america's 2016 campaign season

economy ministers from germany and russia are set to meet today in berlin with lobbyists and industry figures for a conference on economic relations between the two nations overshadowing the events of the e.u.'s new sanctions on moscow announced following russia's latest escalation and its conflict with ukraine a further eight individuals will be added to the list of those subject to asset freezes and travel bans. now a survey conducted by moscow's economic development ministry claims sanctions imposed by a range of countries cost russia some five point seven billion euros last year the restrictions alone accounted for over one third of that number the us side of that cost russia nearly one and a half billion euros with ukraine's restrictions the third most substantial the surveys show that the heaviest impact was on russia's metallurgical industries as well as farming and chemical sectors. now for more on this let's go to our correspondent in moscow erin tilton. erin what's at the top of the agenda for german russian economic relations. well that's certainly going to be the north thr

russia demands that the u.s. destroy tomahawk missile launchers and drones it to help resurrect the arms control treaty both moscow and washington have suspended. thomas glad to have you with us france is recalling its ambassador to italy and what is being described as the country's worst to dispute since the second world war i do yes. well this marks a new low in the already rocky relations between france and italy two countries that should be allies that members of the european union and some have described this latest move by france has being unprecedented i believe it's the first time that france has recalled its ambassador from rome since the second world war when the two countries who are actually at war with each other well this move comes after one of italy's deputy prime ministers luigi dimaio was seen photographed with yellow vests protest is he in france describing the movement on twitter as saying that the winds of change were coming across the alps where the french foreign ministry has hit out at tha

it's clear to us that russia has violated this treaty and that's why we need to speak to russia from the german side the foreign minister and i will do everything we can to enable discussions within these six months. back in the one nine hundred eighty s. nuclear missiles were stationed in both east and west germany by the soviet union and the united states it lets many here fearful of living on the brink of nuclear war so hundreds of thousands of west germans protested the deployment of american nuclear weapons in their country. travel to the southern city of how braun where american media range missiles were stationed in the one nine hundred eighty s. here in this clearing in southern germany american nuclear missiles were stationed during the one nine hundred eighty s. the only building left of what used to be the u.s. army vaulted to base this barrack number nine zero one american soldier larry nichols was stationed here in the eighty's when one of the worst situations imaginable actually occurred on january eleventh one thousand nine hundred five a person two missile exploded on

has said that well really russia did not try to corner anybody and since the very beginning. has been very consistent in its approach and the approach was well quite unprecedented transparency or. and as you've said yes i was at that briefing and they saw the two missiles shown by the defense ministry but of course i'm no military expert so it's really not about me and as a matter of fact it's not about anyone who were at that briefing but rather it is about those who decided to ignore it because nato countries and the united states in particular did get an official invitation from russia basically russia saying that they are ready to give exclusive first hand access to those missiles and really what the united states did they just abstain they decided to never go to more school to really for a chance to lay their hands on those two missiles at the same time and so now what we have is a month since that briefing and apparent leak of a classified documents submitted by you to intelligence agencies including the cia who are adamant that russia should try to stage a hoax showing

that russia. country. just to turn the page build new facilities and move on it has to get to the bottom of any by lesions that may have taken place in the past it sounds like you believe that there are some forces in russia whom may not be willing to pursue that path is that right. i think i don't want to comment your question because first the full responsibility for my error or for responsibility sometimes i think. worth working in russia is. because we didn't have any support i mean serious support yes we have support from any sort of sports we working and said the working group ok it's what a nice but we need nobody hearing. nobody racing the boat special position that professional position. to probe what may be. for example the person who is the. president pushing through to schools to hold the information. to different appeal. to many information do i understand you correctly mr gao knows that you feel like your work is not being fully supported here in russia when we discuss a ball the real support

for violating the iron of deal without a shred of proof russia has violated russia's violation russia shamelessly violates the russians are in violation of the agreement now officially in the us has a problem with this message nato classified as s eight russia says that it in full compliance with the i.n.f. treaty but washington chuck russia's arguments out of the window the united states and most of our nato allies did not attend this briefing as we all saw it for water was another at tam to a few ski the violation and give the appearance our transparency was like a bottomless cup as the allegations kept pouring culminating in america's withdrawal so now more schools done with being cooperative in all actually it says the u.s. is no saint louis since twenty fourteen the u.s. . has deployed in europe is m k forty one missile launchers which is suitable for american tomahawk missiles which is a direct violation of the treaty these missile launchers are based in rumania and already to be constructed in poland russia's defense ministry says in the past two years the us expanded its key m

hours of the coffers of russia germany is totally controlled by russia because they were getting from sixty to seventy percent of their energy from russia and a new pipeline well the united states concern there about the money tree influence of germany paying russia for this energy when in fact the usa would like to be selling its. gas to europe and being one of the major supplies over energy to europe in the future not so with this project going ahead not only that but u.s. ambassadors to germany to denmark and to the e.u. are said to have been pushing pressure on nations to actually oppose this project but so far that hasn't wook as we know there's been a compromise and stream to project will be going ahead it seems like the pressure from the us has resulted in one thing only and that go. well r.t. sophie and co program has been discussing what washington has been pushing its german partners to do regards the nord stream to project you can watch the interview in full on this channel throughout friday or n r t dot com. mr mass recently said that questions of european energy policy mu

american but russia will be the no than you. playing not only in the triangle russia. china united states but also in several others and. we. watching a resurrection of random pars and like turkey iran india i mean the arab states are becoming more influential only part of all of this into which is getting a you mentioned kissinger and i know that you are on friendly terms with him the typical line in the united states is that russia has played a poor hand relatively well what if you know what is he's. janeen opinion on how well the united states plays its hand now and i haven't heard first of all when a friend but we of course i mean have a lot of conversations have had a lot of conversations and i believe he's the number one thinker in the world foreign policy i think he is bitter well sometimes somebody being bitter makes you feel good let's put this way i think that it is better to win with a bright man than to lose with the stupid man. the brave men in the united states and in the west are losing while a mystic are going to have to take a short break but we will b
