The Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has helped talks with President Trump and secretary of state. They will trump describe the talks is very good and said he wants more dialogue with russia. Just had a very good meeting with foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and representatives of russia discussed many items including trade iran north korea i n f treaty Nuclear Arms Control and election meddling look forward to continuing the dialogue in the near future from the outset it became clear how much room for improvement there is in the relations between russia and the United States for instance one of the cases election meddling the secretary of state might pompei as being very adamant that any interference in americas relations is unacceptable by a foreign power to which russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that all such accusations still exist in the realm of speculation. It was for meddling or not is suggested to simply read the movie report we read it there is no proof of any collusion. Also has repeatedly said that russia is ready to release full transcripts as to what was said by the russians and by the members of the trump team via a special communication channel that had been established back in 2618 but according to the Russian Foreign minister those attempts to make those transcripts see the light of day have so far been stopped by the trumpet ministration. To do gratian of donald trump which suggested our colleagues to dispel all baseless suspicions let us publish that close channel correspondent starting from october 26th seen to november 27th saying so it would become all very clear to people unfortunately the Current Administration refused to do so. We all ready to publish that correspondence and already talked about that lets. Just choose to publish i repeated for a 4th time to publish that data that would show how russia responded through the special channel which was designed for reviewing threats also ive been it was. Now the bone of contention between russia and the United States is the i. N. F. Or rather the absence of the deal now and both parties of both ministers have kind of clashed as to how they see the moving forward for instance the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has again said that we could use that the countries could use the start treaty that had been signed back in 2010 but might bump a 0 has voiced his concerns and has made it clear what the United States dont like about that deal it cant be the case that that can be the sole focus thats agreement that was entered into many years ago when powers were very different on a relative basis around the globe. It was at a time that the Weapons Systems the threats were very different than they are today to the risks to strategic instability today are different its no longer just missiles just bombers just submarines just warheads there are many other tools which can create strategic instability so we believe not only do the conversations need to be broadened to include the Chinese Communist party as you study this russian president spoke again about russias preparedness to run the agree on its extension to alleviate the tension for the Global Community instruments of omes control between the u. S. And russia will not be destroying the simply not enforced were prepared to do that even today on the other hand serbia labrum has reiterated that russia has been making unilateral steps of good faith for instance the russian president had previously said that russia wasnt going to deploy any weapons that had been banned under the i. N. F. Treaty in europe unless washington or its allies decide to do that 1st but it wasnt all negative there are some points where russia and the United States do see eye to eye on where they do see each other as valuable partners syria afghanistan north korea all those aspects all those political crises see russia and the United States working together. And both countries it seemed did their best both ministers at least did their best to try and move the train forward as much as they could. Of the junior state senator Richard Blanc thinks the Russian Foreign ministers trip to washington comes at a particularly difficult time for President Trump. Keep in mind that. All of this is taking place with the backdrop of the impeachment hearings and it has been one of the strategies of the administration to appear to be as tough with russia as possible and its very unfortunate but thats just the domestic policy ramifications of this theres only so long that you can continue talking about russian meddling and so far the only evidence that ive seen is that there were 100000. 00 in facebook ads that were placed some of them for Hillary Clinton some of them for. When they were placed out of russia well im going to tell you 100000. 00 did not buy you a drop in the ocean in terms of facebook ads so. The democrats will continue to insist that the russians meddled the republicans are and can bend i dont think i dont think its an issue thats particularly relevant to the American People. But in the meantime the democrats in congress have revealed the articles of impeachment against President Trump. That has more in their reaction and the timing of the accusations meeting has taken place between the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and u. S. President donald trump and it just so happens that this meeting is taking place on the very day that articles of impeachment have been drawn up against the american president the 1st article for abuse of power it is an Impeachable Offense president should be engaged in an unprecedented categorical and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry. This gives rise to the 2nd article of impeachment for obstruction of congress well this is not the 1st attempt to bring charges against donald trump the bob muller investigation alleging that donald trump had colluded with russia failed to bring any charges against u. S. President trump so now articles of impeachment have been drawn up against donald trump over a phone call he had with the ukrainian leader and allegations that he obstructed the congressional investigation into that phone call now despite the fact that the Russian Investigation has concluded that didnt stop democrats from speaking up regarding todays meeting trump is meeting with russias foreign minister in the oval office again on visser hes invited in towns the last time they laughed about troops firing of komi today they can celebrate the success of russian propaganda regen wouldnt recognize this g. O. P. Trump lead rope and compare our meeting in bribe this afternoon what conspiracy are they cooking up today now the foreign minister of russia gave his reaction to these words from American Media and political figures Congress Congress seems to have been captured by a desire to destroy Us Russian Relations used to splurge and shoot adam schiff describes normal bilateral contacts between countries in particular the reception of a foreign minister of one country by the president over now the country as a triumph of russian diplomacy then thats just absurd this is somewhat of a pattern whenever a high level meeting takes place but it seems that its followed by a harsh attacks on the president and accusations of some kind of inappropriate relationship between trump and russia the most extreme example was after the meeting between trump and putin that took place in 2017 or cia director john brennan was among the 1st to float the t word treason officials and pundits even began speculating whether russia had something on trump that would cause him to so publicly side with those harsh words related mainly to the investigation conducted by bomb. Moeller regarding allegations of collusion now interestingly a new report has just been released regarding how that investigation was carried out the new report seems to indicate that the f. B. I. Made great errors and how they went about investigating donald trump during this this probe into alleged collusion donald trump spoke critically of the f. B. I. And pointed toward the report the report actually and especially when you look into it and the details of the report are far worse than anything i would have even imagined. What they were doing and what they would have. Invited make a certain a certain move that was a very important move because it would have been even worse if thats possible and they might have been able to succeed this was an overthrow of a government this was an attempted overthrow now the meeting focused on Nuclear Nonproliferation as well as other International Issues but it appears that negotiations and moving forward on these vital International Matters is being held back by some internal turmoil within the United States of america when we discuss the latest steps in the impeachment process with legal analyst jennifer the monster. The democrats have absolutely no desire to solve the problems for the america and for the world they had one desire and that was to vilify and demonize donald trump the president states and to use russia to do that they use russia as their own unwitting pawn to say this country is evil and trump worked with them and that is why it must be stopped but they cannot let it go it is like a child that wants a cookie before dinner time if the parent says no you cant have that the child just sits and cries and all they want is a cookie even after their dinner is served and they could have a cookie afterwards they still want to cry and pound their feet and their fists into the table thats what the democrats look like now to the world is that all they want to do is pound their fists and the table in order to remove donald trump as the president and thats the scariest part because theyre not trying to do anything on behalf of the American People besides creating these lies and these false narratives and this is true when we see 2 leaders even leaders of countries that havent always been friends with russia in the United States weve had issues but the main way to move forward to move out of that is to try to Work Together even if theyre talking about important topics that hey look were going to say russia the United States are still kind of it odds on some areas but there are some areas that were working together on finally thats a good thing for the world. Crowds have rallied in paris against president plans to overhaul the Pension System more than a dozen arrests have been made in recent days the country used to violent protests across a number of cities with more from the french capital. Well as you can see we are in the thick of it the country is trying to deliver their message to the government just one day before it now says their final plans for pension reform in france although we did hear from the countrys Prime Minister that for them for now there is no intention to change their plans if we dont make serious profound and progressive reforms to date someone else will make a much more brutal reform tomorrow i hope that we can convince a majority of french people that our reform is fair it is universal it makes the special Pension Plans gradually disappear and is financially balanced not just for a moment let me give you a clearer picture of who these people are for instance weve already been used to the yellow vests but as you can see these are orange and what it says on them is s. N. C. F. This is the French Railway company which is by the way one of the main driving forces of the protests you can imagine what happens if the entire system. Where world workers what if they go on strike only son like that has already happened they say that at one point you know almost 85 percent of the Railway Staff members wait on strike and this really caused chaos in the countrys transport system. But its not only about iran and world war i can tell you that the professions range from air Traffic Controllers to actually Police Officers and warriors so this is just how vast it is. Like i said before even police Union Support the strike and actually in fact different opinion polls say that from 50 to 70. Percent of the french population are supporting whats going on in the street in the streets of france right now but i do have to mention though that last week protests in various cities of these countries did turn ugly and violent. I can tell you that most of the slogans that we are hearing in these protests are aimed directly against the president emanuel macron one you can see right here it says macro dont touch my retirement i can tell you that the pension reform is pretty much his brainchild and thats why so many people are angry at him specifically over but this comes soon may be. Over but it does not come here prove money 1st but the reforms we impart to everybody see idea for the pension reform is to introduce a universal point system which will make the pension sums universal for different layers of the society but some of them in france do fear that they will lose their privileges they want to give us a town hall food system you have everyone who will die you forms but all much. So with brings you a point never knows where now this is. Just a warning for the government but its not hard to predict whats going to come out but if emanuel makarov it his team decides to write stick to the. Russian athletes have expressed anger and frustration over the countrys exclusion from all major world torments for the next 4 years the decision was made by the World Antidoping Agency wilder and wilder took that step after it ruled moscow had tampered with a drug test database and while clean athletes will still be able to compete theyll be forced to do so under a neutral flag russian officials however are prohibited from attending major events while the country wont be allowed to host any tournament and the list of doors now slam shut in russias face is extensive it includes the elim pick and Paralympic Games in tokyo in 2020 and footballs fee for world cup in cash are 2 years after that russia was the last host of that event of course and its players will now have to go as neutrals if they qualify we heard from german Long Distance swimmer Mark Hendrickson he believes the doping investigations have been unfairly focused on russia. The russian flag behind me thats a symbol of solidarity of support for russian athletes was important is that russian athletes should know that theyre not alone and in International Sport too there are a lot of athletes who are standing on the side of the Russian Federation there are a lot of germans who say its all a political case thats introductions between russia and the west soured there have been investigations almost exclusively into doping in russia i see a methodology behind this its no coincidence i see it as a Government Order to present russia in an negative light an athlete who has indeed used doping should be banned no question for those who havent should have the right to take part in competitions only equal footing with all the other nations without restrictions when youre at the starting line together with all the others say americans chinese germans french are all flying their flags but youre being singled out as the bad russia doesnt have this right this animosity towards this athlete this animosity in this alienation put enormous pressure and to start to swim to run under such pressure is not exactly an easy task so while there has given the Russian Anti Doping Agency 21. 00 days to decide if it wants to appeal if it helps to do so the case will be taken to the court of arbitration for sport. Breaks down the watering for us. Imagine a person that robs a bank steals lets say a 1000000. 00 gets caught gets prison time gets out like a near your early for Good Behavior but then the police tells them you know were not sure you actually stole a 1000000 maybe youre stole more so were going to push imprison back again or that is basically the logic which the World Antidoping Agency applied to the whole nation of russia in their decision on monday to ban the country from major sports competitions in the world saying that the russian athletes can compete individually but they have to again prove that they have not used any kind of doping by. The position of the Russian Olympic Committee stays the same the sanctions are inadequate not logical and too severe we would do our best for the Russian Olympic Team to participate in the Upcoming Games in japan under the colors of the russian trickle or due to the terms of the olympic charter. Whether someone committed a crime fair enough he or she should be punished for that but it is quite unclear how exactly stripping a nation of its flag in a major sports competitions across the planet can actually solve the problem of fighting against doping youre not. Proven guilty and im in and you dont do to youre guilty until you can prove youre innocent you complete rigorous Justice System but its always been that way youve got to think about whats on the World Antidoping Agency whose jurisdiction it doesnt at yours dictionary to the russian authorities become sanction Russian Politicians are all it can do is sanction resettling and take actions relative to schools so its come up with this International Standard to code compliance where signatories which is used to sanction russia this time round. On top of everything it seems that waters decision from monday was made in such a haste that they have no clue how to actually navigate in that decision the biggest example of that is probably the situation with your way for and fee for tournament where were you where you quite expect to. Be sanctions will not affect in any way russian part of the upcoming your. First of all its a continental tournament not of world qualification for or for could part when you 2. Is again within the competence of us but should it make it to the 2022 world cup in qatar it may be stripped of its flag of its anthem and it may be participating as a neutral country and if youre not yet confused enough they already said directly that should russia appeal to cas the court for arbitration of sports and this process takes longer than the official preparation for next summers olympics russia will go to next summers olympics in tokyo as a full fledged nation but then if the ban is implemented late it might miss out on the 2024 summer Olympic Games in paris so this is all surrounded by a lot of confusion and at the same time russia says that its not planning to give up the sports minister of the country by vocal of course insists that all the information for the reinstatement of has been provided to the World Antidoping Agency says when your experts who provided convincing on says unfortunately they havent heard us resign or has time to appeal initially when we handed over the database we said lets investigate the database together so that we can make a full decision we wanted to have a kind of mechanism if we dont want to be objective decision lets do it like this was saddam has all the necessary opportunities he could have taken a different approach from whichever side you look at it mondays decision by water looks like a vocal and very harsh indictment of the Russian Sports it might. Send shock waves and reverberations in the country sport for many years to come but it might actually be the beginning of a new struggle of a new battle the legal one when russia takes its case to cast the court of arbitration for sports in laws and switzerland and we are expecting this to be made quite quickly before the end of this year where the decision was balanced on the basis of to prove i have my doubts here because what is not clear to me is how they did find out that there should be many people asian on the russians who is guaranteeing that datas from the restall blower were not money police that it causes a reputational damage to russians board because everybody is now thinking that the russian at least or all daughters which is of course not true and. Put only on russia we all know a lot of doping cases or coming also from all the nationality clits and that means. Now actually easily to beat one side. Well in other news this hour Russian Forces have entered the syrian city of raka better known as islamic states former capital the troops delivered food aid to locals and they also brought in medical personnel to help those still living there it comes to months after the sudden withdrawal of u. S. Armed forces from the area and contributed to the al monitor a new side alley risk believes a lack of strategy is one of the reasons which led to the u. S. Withdrawal. I think that now the situation in the uk is going to improve because you do have players are entering who have clearly. Clear strategy so they have a you know they have a Clear Strategy put in place they probably. One with the other states was that they had never had a Clear Strategy you know and theres confusion between it so it speaks about fighting our sources speaks about fighting iran and iran and isis and i mean so i would describe the u. S. Policy in syria and for that matter in the war the region as being confused and when you have a confused policy that tends to make the situation not very stable in the ground or russia on the other hand has a clear sort of goals a clear sighted policy and this is why thats why i think the more russia comes into the picture in places like cook and elsewhere the more that will contribute to stabilizing the situation. Well thats news update for now well be back here at the top of the out with a roundup of the headlines theatre at. And there was only johnson.
