providing that leadership at this moment? i think it s a real test for him, jim, and i think the whole country is going to watch. and the people who don t like him, they re not going to be moved by what he says but many republicans, they re going have to say is this the kind of leader we want, and they re going to have to watch his words and the way he conducts himself here in el paso to decide if he s the kind of leader they want going forward. the other thing, jim, i felt what the president should have done is convene republicans, democrats, community activists, faith leaders, law enforcement and get them in a room in the white house and say we re not coming out of this room until we hammer out a comprehensive program to give some safety and security to the people and to the children. that s how this has got to happen. there s a window of opportunity, a way to get things through that window. let s talk about that window of opportunity because i ve tried to focus in the last few
g.d.r. in 1009 window of opportunity opens and the family has the opportunity to claim their property back now the relevant law from 994 in its 1st paragraph defines that . compensations i exclude it if the loss of the family was supporting the nazi regime so the question if it s not the family in particular the so-called crown prince was supporting hitler and the nazi regime might be crucial for the question if not the family gets its compensation these negotiations or talks are still going on what is the public line up on all this if they support the hohenzollerns and in getting their artin treasures back i guess public opinion is split as it would be in france in the netherlands and scandinavia in any country so they have people supporting money kinda money and the royal family i think in the last 2 weeks there was rather a public outcry because most people were feeling most citizens with feeling that this wish list of the family was a bit extensive and
headed towards a violent storm. i do hope i m wrong. there is a catch 22 here, they would squeeze iran so it comes to the table to say we are not talking with you unless they reengage on the nuclear deal. they were cooperating. it was president trump that says you are not and bailed out. is there any chance president trump could somehow come around to fostering a peaceful solution here and something he s decided to do such as kweez iran until it breaks. we don t see a window of opportunity. no opening at this particular moment. i ll tell you why. president trump, and i believe
addresses this. he ll have a news conference the day one day later on saturday. that s really his window of opportunity. as small as it is to make a significant message that he sends to people back at home that are his biggest critic. thank you, peter alexander. ambassador, the final word on what would be a victory. same question i asked peter alexander. what would be a victory from the view point of vladimir putin? for trump a victory is to be able to hand off all of the issues to his cabinet secretaries and say, i m going to rely on mattis and tillerson to handle this with their counterparts. for putin, a victory is one in which he thinks he s got an understanding and we may not even know about it with donald trump. that s why what you really want is a no no agreements meeting. okay. we ll keep an eye on it. we ll have you back to see if that s what we end up with. thank you for spending time with us. up next, a man who knows the
but what we understand the consensus emerging is that secretary tillerson will go to moscow with the message that president putin needs to step away from support of bashar al assad and needs to support a cease-fire in syria and needs to help build a political momentum for a transition away from bashar al assad s leadership. now, we re hearing discussion here that this will be perhaps in the form of a window, that this is not an ultimatum directly to president putin, but a window of opportunity, so there is clearly a period of time being built in here quite what the final package of the message will look like is still not clear yet, but that s what we understand so far. all right. nic robertson for us at the g7 meeting. used to be g-8, but russia was disinvited after its foray into ukraine. thank you so much. joining us to discuss all the political action, ellis henican.
