very quickly add that i think she s right. the bigger issue here is the russian interference. there s a lot of committees working on that. foreign relations committee and as for the trump associates, they haven t been charged with anything. if they are, the presumed innocent until proven guilty ask that s something we should keep in mind. it s still the beginning of the investigations. josh roggin, thank you to you. extremely rare is unfolding on the streets of russia. hundreds arrested in mass demonstrations against the kremlin. we ll tel you why they are rallying. we ll take you there. today, unlimited gets the network it deserves. verizon. (mic thuds) uh, sorry. it s unlimited without compromising reliability, on the largest, most advanced 4g lte network in america. (thud) uh. sorry, last thing. it s just $45 per line. forty. five. (cheering and applause) and that is all the microphones that i have.
of these four men that were just mentioned, i should say that it s important to remember and josh brought it up earlier that if the fbi investigation, we still have the bigger r national foreign policy issue of russia. we are watching russia today on the news, but its involvement with our campaign, that can t get resolved by the fbi or an indictment. and my worry is that we re going to be so focused on the fbi side of it that the bigger issue, the geopolitical issue does not get resolved, including directing or executive agencies. what to do in the instances of russian aggression. it s hard to believe. it seems too painful to want the to come tntemplate.

of nationwide defiance. we can tell you now one of those arrested was a putin opponent. this comes just days after another critic was shot dead outside a hotel in broad daylight in ukraine. joining me now is senior international correspondent matthew chance. what is the latest on these protests? the protests across this vast country are effectively have come to an end. there were 500 arrests, according to state media, just here in the russian capital. there have been thousands of people that have been taking to the streets across russia in st. petersburg anded the far east in ab extra ordinary display of opposition to the government and to the allegations of corruption specifically against the russian prime minister. they are calling for him to resign. but i think the kremlin will be
