there are other issues on top of that that may come up as well. two alpha-type personalities in that room. i agree with one of your last guests, hour tomorrow will be an introductory meeting. that s absolutely true. i can see with these two personalities they are going to get into it a little with each other. hopefully the meeting ends productive and not just adversarial on defeating a line, like isis. and do you think russian meddling in elections, u.s., french, whatever, does that count as a destabilizing activity? oh, yeah. russia meddles in many different ways and it does destabilize i mean, he we are still half way through 2017, and you and i are talking about it. many other people are talking about what happened last november. so from that standpoint where
coalition backing the syrian and arab fighters behind me here. moving into the old city area of raqqa itself, pushing through the substantial wall around it using air strikes and being able to bypass the mines and defensive positions that isis have put in place to try to slow this acc down. it seems to be moving far slow indeed. we ve been american military vehicles moving at a reasonable frequency. it s the last option center isis really control because they re pretty much days away from losing the largest city they ever had which is mosul in iraq. literally a matter of hundreds of meters for iraqi forces to clear. they smell victory but the people they face are suicide bombers with civilians as human shields. a difficult task after that when they try to build iraq, fractured as a society between the sunni ethnic group and the
europe could not sit idly by, and that would be bad for us, a lose-lose situation whereas we believe potentially free, fair and reciprocal trade is a win-win situation. ambassador peter wittig, ambassador from germany to the united states. thank you for being with us. a pleasure. thank you, john. coming up, the last stand for isis in raqqa. is it the last stance? will a defeat create new problems inside syria? we have a rare look from the front line, next. vere plaque psoriasis,. isn t it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it s time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it s a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,. with reduced redness,. thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring.
shia that dominate the am i right and government. they need healing so they can rebuild and here in syria too, the broader question of what happens when raqqa is finally liberated of isis, who rebids it, who moves in. the u.s. have a plan to move in quickly and try to get things going, but they probably haven t got the budget or the patience to stick it out until the end and the syrian regime is very close by. that was nick in syria. we have breaking news from the streets of hamburg, germany. this the site of the g20 summit. we ve been keeping our eye on this over the last hour. big protests on the streets there. some 10,000 people until this moment. until this moment, they had been peaceful protests but obviously something has changed. you re now seeing the police there, law enforcement authorities firing water canons at the crowd right there. we re seeing some projectiles thrown back in.
meddled in the united states election, and without being able to give all of the details i mean, we, as members of congress, have been part of top secret briefings with fbi, cia, dni. we re not allowed to get into those details. i would say it is a a complicated investigation that isn t as simple as just saying, russia meddled. i can see where the president is coming from that there are some other components to this that we don t have completely filled in. i do believe russia meddled with the election, and it s beyond a fair game to bring up at the meeting tomorrow. something he should bring up. it is something he should bring up with vladimir putin, you re saying? yeah. there are a lot of really important topics to talk about. i wouldn t just talk about this. i also wouldn t just talk about so many other topics. i m sure syria and isis, north korea, ukraine come up, and
