speak directly with putin. >> i think i'd get along very well with vladimir putin. i just think so. people would say what do you mean? i think i'd get along well with him. obama and him -- he hates obama. >> reporter: but analysts have a warning for donald trump, reminding him putin once managed kgb agents. >> he reads trump and he says this is a his ego, i want to make him feel like he actually can achieve the unrealistically big things he says he can achieve and then i want to use him in doing that. >> reporter: experts say by praising trump putin probably was taking a jab at president obama. but they say putin and trump also have similar perspectives on leadership. >> they're both focused on this image of action and strength and the individual's ability to bend global forces that you really need the great man atop of the apex of the nation to defend it against these shadowy forces at home and abroad. >> reporter: but there's one shadowy force who vladimir putin who happens to respect, a man like donald trump is an antagonist, iran's top commander in syria. u.s. f

first of all, vladimir putin does only things that are in russia's national interest. so for him to be endorsing mr. trump, that's because he think interest for mr. trump to be the leader in the united states. second, the part -- you didn't play in the your clip. the part i found most reprehensible when responding to that question on "morning joe" was the moral equivalency between what the united states does abroad in terms of our armed forces and what putin does domestically. trump basically said that what soldiers in afghanistan are doing and pilots in syria are doing is the same thing as those that kill journalists in russia. that is not in america's national interest. >> both of you have served in this administration, wendy sherman, you served in the prior one as well. chuck hagel, the former defense secretary, had some sharp criticism in "foreign policy" magazine of this administration. saying in a piece headline "the white house tried to destroy me. whether it was the right decision or not --" he's referring to the decision not to go against assad after assad cro

donald trump said throughout his campaign that he would get along very well with vladimir putin. and the feeling is apparently mutual. mr. putin took time out of his news conference to call in trump a bright, flamboyant person. joining me now is former bush state department senior advisor christian wiseman and richard goodstein. what did you make of this? >> it's the beginning of a beautiful bromance. trump has been fawning of vladimir putin before saying he welcomes with open arms with his intervention in syria and giving putin an "a." it's hard to take because this is the president of an adversarial nation who power through repressing insernl dissent. -- internal dissent. liz: is this not a great thing for president obama? russia and the white house and prior administrations, russia was a pariah state for basically invading crimea, now russia is considered a credible power broker with what's going on in syria. it seems to me this could be seen as a betback for the white house. >> my guess is vladimir putin is entertained by donald trump like so many other people pane would love

they have a contraction of 4%. >> yes, it's a contradictory message because vladimir putin told russians all caps of weeks ago that the give the crisis had passed. now it seems he is reaching out to those who don't take that view that thinks it was premature for them to say the worst is over. it's clear evidence that maybe is reaching out to people who are more semester who need to be listened to. some of the prognoses for next year might not be as optimistic as others are saying. >> what will investors take from this? will we see a bounce in the stocks or the russian ruble? ruble was something like 30 to her office when the finance minister left office and now it's 72. from an investor point of view, his return to government within the kremlin or within the government under the prime minister would be an indication that vladimir putin is listening to the most experienced officials he has available and he is willing to take on board unpleasant messages about what needs to be done to improve things for the russian economy. >> this is a great scoop from bloomberg news that we don't know wh

turkey, russia, recep tayyip erdogan and vladimir putin, and the media kat fight over what led to the downing of the russian war plane. unapologetic, the british tabloid that karnt bring itself to say -- can't bring itself to say sorry that a sister paper backed down on. beijing is on an anticorruption drive. chinese media is not immune. if you are chinese, political and online, you'll need to to be creative before getting shut down, shot down, by the cyber police. >>> when a plane was brought down on the syrian boarder. the media outlets presented different versions of the fact. ankara said the plane violates turkish air space and warned the pilot um teen times to change course. moscow refuted that saying turkey shot down the war plane over syrian territory, and was a stab in the back by the accomplices of terrorists. the warring nar tifrs were outlined in the media. the two journalists at the turkish daily, jim hooul yacht accused of aiding a terrorist organization. they backed up video evidence that m.i.t. tried to send a convoy of the weapons to syria the conflict in syria is a ge

how can we not woix that >>> vladimir putin called trump the front runner. trump proposed deporting millions of undocumented immigrants. many disgd. 54%. americans surveyed support a pathway for citizenship or people in the u.s. illegally. more than 7 and 10 support the idea >>> defense secretary ash carter committed he made a mistake using a personal email. >> particularly with someone in my position and with sensitivities, should have known better. there were plenty of people at the time when you take offers, who explain what the rules are about emails. it's not like i didn't have the opportunity to understand what the right thing to do is. i didn't do the right thing. this is on me. >> carter said he does not use email much and did not send classified information and stopped using his personal account a few months ago. his email use was reported by the "new york times" >>> still to come - a year after the u.s. restored ties with cuba, a look at how far things have come and how far they still need to come. >> we're here to fully get into the nuances of eve

>> vladimir putin said, this is among the american voters. if donald trump becomes president of the united states, he has to have a relationship with vladimir putin and every other world leader. i would rather have somebody in there that has the respect of these people because he's showing -- he's showing strength. >> you know, bob, i want to bring you in here. you've seen a lot of campaigns over the years. though you are a young man. >> thank you. >> good cover there. >> i know. i think we've seen a different donald trump over the last 48 hours than we saw before. he came out in that debate with a prepared statement to open it out with. he had some crisp lines. then he showed humility toward the end of the debate when he pledged his loyalty to the republican party. and we saw more of it last night when he was with jimmy kimmel. i want to play a short sound bite here. >> i would like to see the republican party come together and i've been a little divisive in the sense that i've been hitting people pretty hard. >> a little bit, yeah. >> and u

vladimir putin himself. i went to the kremlin and saw vladimir putin and he loved talking about his friend, berlusconi. americans have a hard time understanding this italian billionaire prime minister because he has such concentration of power, so controversial has 70 sex scandals but it's hard to imagine an american equivalent. >> host: was berlusconi eight dictator in italian politics? >> guest: i would say berlusconi is the most controversial politician in europe in the last 50 years. there are honest and good politicians, not all like berlusconi. berlusconi is typical of no one. he is unique. this is a guy who could look at barack obama and go on national television in italy and say obama is young, he's handsome and he has a year-round tan and when i said to berlusconi that is racist he said so, it was a compliment that i would take two or three months to get a tan like that myself, so berlusconi lives in his own bubble, in his own world and is in the recall of full how did he stay in power in italy? >>

russian president vladimir putin. i talked to the former florida governor overnight on "anderson cooper 360." listen. >> i want to start with your reaction to the reporting from the russian news agency. they quote russian president vladimir putin saying that donald trump is a bright and talented person without any doubt and the absolute leader of the presidential race. donald trump responded, says it's a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond. so what do you make of all that? >> i don't respect vladimir putin. he is the leader of an important country, certainly not a regional power has barack obama called him. to get praise from vladimir putin is not going to help donald trump. he's not a serious candidate. he would bring chaos to the presidency just as he's done to this campaign. it's entertaining but the simple fact is we're at war right now with islamic terrorism. he's not offered one compelling, specific thing to do to keep us safe. it's all high vol

today the new wrinkle i guess is vladimir putin. you're playing that clip from "morning joe," where donald trump seems very pleased that vladimir putin is saying nice things about him, saying nice things about vladimir putin in return, even in the face of being told, hey, he kills journalis journalists, suppresses democracy, all these things. that's something that's obviously going to open up donald trump to plenty of attack from fellow republicans. a lot of them have made putin-bashing a staple of their campaign. i think what's interesting in this is donald trump, in taking this posture on vladimir putin, he's sort of calling back to a different era of republicanism, a different era of conservatism. ironically, it involved russia and the soviet union, but you'll remember, the cold war, the united states, in particular, conservatives in this country were very eager to make common cause to make allies with dictators, with dictators who had horrible records on human rights, on killing reporters, all these sorts of things that putin's

. >> strongest words yet from vladimir putin for turkey. the russian president joining his annual state of the union addressed, saying he should be punished by allah. he said russia would do more than impose sanctions. >> we are not going to and will not be sabre rattling with weapons. but if anyone innings that after committing a treacherous war crime and killing our people they will get away with a ban on tomatoes or restriction in some other industry, they are sorely mistaken. >> the turkish president hit back at russia's claim that ankor was buying off jihadists, suggesting it was russia doing that. >> who buys the islamic's state oil? the biggest dealer carries a russia passport and syrian. he sells it to the assad regime and certain international circles who are in this business. >> each country's rhetoric has hardened considerably in the past 48 hours even as various third parties have offered to immediate yate. sergei lavrov met his turkish counterpart for talks, the first face-to-face contact between the two countries since the sta

. >> the bromance of 2015 definitely belongs to donald trump and vladimir putin. the donald has expressed his admiration for vladimir putin's intervention in syria and this week, the president of russia gave a press conference in which he described the donald as a bright and talented person and an absolute leader. and i think this is a couple that really deserves one another. i mean, donald trump knows a strong man when he sees one and vladimir putin knows a sucker when he sees one. >> wow. okay. joe? >> the federal aviation administration for requiring all americans to register their drones. these aren't predators, okay? it's a new technology. a couple pounds used by hob hobbyists. the fine for not complying is $300,000. the faa, meanwhile, is notorious for having so many jobs they can't do any of them well. fine the faa for undermining innovation and refusing to set priority sg priority. >> dan? >> ben carson is falling in the polls, as we know. this week a washington columnist reporter wrote he's falling because of his race. now that he's declining, they are ab

vladimir putin has warned of more sanctions and have suspended talks over a pipeline project. prosecutors in the u.s. are pushing for the extradition of two f.i.f.a. officials arrested in switzerland. venezuela heads to the polls this weekend which could see the opposition win for the first time in nearly 17 years. food shortages and the world's worst inflation rate has rocked the ruling party. >> reporter: on this sunday's leaks, several thousand people gathered in the street to support one of the most powerful men in venezuelan. he is the head of the national assembly which calls suggest to be won over by the opposition on 6 december. in his home state as the campaign heads to an end, he insists they will sweep and the victory will not lead to the way away from the economic model that is blamed for the country's problems. >> translation: we're going to deepen the revolution. we don't have a pact with them. we have no pact with foreign powers only with the people. >> reporter: yet for the first time in 17 years the government's party is faced with the possibility of having to

beyond that, there's little vladimir putin can do. i think broadly what is important to keep in mind here is that vladimir putin wants to divide the west. everything that he's doing, including what he's doing with cert, in turkey and syria, is he wants to divide western institutions and n.a.t.o. >>> syrian and russian jets targeted the rebel held region killing dozens. that's according to witnesses and activists, saying it's in response to rebel mortifier attacks hitting neighbourhoods in damascus. >> reporter: in this moment of sheer panic and desperation, talk of a truce is irrelevant. bloodied bodies cluttered the floor of a temporary basement clinic. in this rebel strong hold lifeless infants are checked for vital signs. on another table, a doctor tries to save another child who lost his legs. the streets of duma are littered with debris and chards of glass, making it difficult to meet those in need. at least 28 were killed, and dozens injured in eastern huta on sunday. most of the victims were children and women at a market and a

he was praising vladimir putin know, imprisoned and killed journalists. and this is where we need to make the distinction between the ridiculous and the dangerous. this is a man now flirting with authoritarianism, praising the putin. so his divisive rhetoric, extreme policies and now he's praising a leadership style that authoritarianism. matter. >> but, of course, it is working and matt bai, you wrote memorably this week why. that we are somewhat to blame. in fact, you wrote "it's clear now that trump's enduring popularity is in no small part a reflection of an acid disdain for us. this is a simmering reaction to smugness and shallowness in the media, a parade of glib punditry unmoored to any sense of history or personal experience. it's about our love of gaffes and scandals real or imagined and our rigid enforcement of the politically correct." discuss. [ laughter ] >> oh, i've heard some discussion. look, i've made this point, it's not always popular. we treat presidential politics and politics in general like a reality show and we have for years. if y

are you on the phone calling vladimir putin? josh: -- sen. sanders: what we have got to do is to understand that the primary goal of all that is going on, assad is a horrible dictator who has killed tens of thousands of his people. the primary goal is to destroy isis. there' s a common interest. russia lost an airliner, we saw what happened in paris. we have to bring this country' s together and work with the muslim countries in the area to get troops on the ground. that is the way we destroy isis. josh: let' s talk about why you have risen to such popularity. quite a dogfight in new hampshire and other states. some things you talk about like a stimulus package for the country. new hampshire has problems with roads and bridges, as do other states. the number you threw out there was $1 trillion. sen. sanders: let' s add up something else. i talk about issues that other candidates do not talk about. let' s do some audition -- addition. it' s an expensive proposition. in the last 30 years, there' s been a transfer of wealth, trillions of dollars

talk directly with vladimir putin. >> i think i would get along well with vladimir putin. i think so. people say what do you mean? i think i would get along well with him. obama and him, he hates obama. >> reporter: but analysts have a warning for donald trump, reminding him putin once managed kgb agents. >> he reads trump, and he says this is a guy i want to feed his ego. i want to make him feel like he can actually achieve the unrealistically big things he says he can achieve. and then i want to use him in doing that. >> reporter: experts say by praising trump, putin probably was taking a jab at president obama. but they say putin and trump also have similar perspectives on leadership. >> they're both focused on this image of action and strength and the individual's ability to bend global forces, that you really need the great man at the top of the apex of the nation to defend it against the shadowy forces at home and abroad. >> reporter: but there is one shadowy force who vladimir putin happens to respect. a man who like donald trump is an antagonist of barack obama. ir

the subject of vladimir putin came up. vladimir putin, who had some very nice words to say about donald trump the other day in russia. he was asked about them, said some interesting things himself on "morning joe." >> do you like vladimir putin's comments about you? >> sure. when people call you brilliant, that's always good, especially when the person heads up russia. >> yeah. >> well, i mean, also it's a person that kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries. obviously, that would be a concern, would it not? >> he's running his country, and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country. >> but again, he kills journalists that don't agree with him. >> well, i think our country does plenty of killing also, joe, so you know. >> so, that comment about putin drawing a lot of eyre from leading republicans. mitt romney just minutes ago taking to twitter to say this -- i'll read from my phone here -- "important distinction -- thug putin kills journalists and opponents, our presidents kill terroris

russia's president vladimir putin says oil produced by i.s.i.l. is being smuggled into turkey on an industrial scale. he believes turkey shot down a russian jet last week to protect smuggling routes. ankara denies any involved in such. burkina faso has a new president. former prime minister roch mark kabore has been elected, the first new president in 27 years. he served under blaise compaore. more now on that prisoner exchange on the lebanon/syrian border. live in the studio. clearly this has been going on for a while behind the scenes. how did it all come together? <

. >> you like vladimir putin's comments about you? >> sure. especially when the person heads up russia. >> also a person that kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries. >> he is running his country and at least he is a leader unlike what we have in this country. >> again, he kills journalists that don't agree with him. >> i think our country does plenty of killing, also, joe. there is a lot of stupidity going on in the world. a lot of killing and a lot of stupidity. that's the way it is. >> washington bureau chief. howard, i did like to be reminded that we are overseas killing people. not civilian killing. not picking out somebody you don't like but we kill lots of people because we decide to invade that country and kill people who got in our way. we did that decision. our president. >> but the point that donald trump was making was that there is a lot of stupidity going on but what is wrong with more of that? >> that is one interpretation. >> basically he is selling unbridled strength in at least in talk. that's trump's bra

let's move on to vladimir putin, you got that praise from vladimir putin this week. called it a great honor. you said you always felt fine about putin. how can you say you felt fine about vladimir putin when he backs our adversaries like bashar al assad and backs iran and he invades ukraine. >> i have been an extremely successful dealmaker. that's what i've done over years and i know people because deals are people. and i think i'll get along very well for the good of our country, for the good of our country, this is what i want, make america great again. i believe i'll get along fine with putin and i believe i'll get along fine with other leaders. obama doesn't get along with putin. putin can't stand our president, and it's causing us difficulty, and, frankly, and i said it a long time ago, if russia wants to bomb the hell out of isis and join us in that effort, i'm fine with that absolutely. i think that's an asset not a liability. so, if putin respects me and if putin wants me to call me brilliant and other things that he said which were, frankly, very nice, i'll

. >>> >> within the hour, kerry plans to meet with russian president vladimir putin. that discussion could set the tone for a meeting on friday about syria at the united nations. washington and moscow at odds over the future of syrian president bashar al assad and what role he might play in any political transition. >> a senior fellow at the cato institute center for liberty and prosperity was vladimir putin's chief economic advisor and personal representative before the g-8, thanks for being with us. how optimistic should web about this meeting between secretary kerry and russian president vladimir putin and what do you expect? >> it depends what you would consider optimistic. on the part of mr. putin, definitely it's quite a substantial breakthrough, because the so-called isolation or semi isolation in which united states tried to put mr. putin for about a year and a half now is completely broken. president obama met mr. putin several times over the past three months, now mr. kerry is visiting mr. putin in kremlin once again, so it's not a surprise that russian mini

then, on tuesday, secretary kerry will head to moscow for talks with russian president vladimir putin and foreign minister sergey lavrov. the discussions come at a tense time between the u-s and russia... as the u-s is only targeting isis in syria... but, russia is also taking aim at some syrian rebel groups....as moscow is working to help syrian president bashar assad maintain power. lavrov (english translator) says: "to decide the fate of bashar al assad ? this is of course there's a grey area between our point of view and that of our partners" meantime, kerry and lavrov are working together to try and start peace talks between assad's government and the syrian opposition. kerry says he's pleased with ongoing progress that syrian opposition groups have been making ...trying to form a united front to negotiate with assad. kerry says: "there are some questions and...kinks to be worked out and i'm confident they're going to be worked out." (on cam fox news tag) in moscow secretary kerry will talk with president putin -- not only about the ongoing syrian civil war... and isis... but als

vladimir putin said the turks are in a cover up to prevent the world from knowing they are buying oil from isil, from areas it controls within syria and iraq. president obama also has been trying to cajole and twist the arm of vladimir putin to focus russian airstrikes on the fight against isil and not many of the groups opposed to the assad regime. here's a little more of president obama at that press conference. >> first of all on mr. putin, i don't expect that you're going to see a 180 turn on their strategy over the next several weeks. they have invested four years now in keeping assad in power. their presence there is predicated on propping him up, and so that's going to take some time for them to change how they think about the issue. >> very interesting comment there from the president, stephanie, essentially conceding that all of the talking and that he's been doing, negotiating with russia and vladimir putin has not borne any fruit and it's not likely to bear any fruit for the foreseeable future. >> mike, that you can. >> the tensions between turkey and russia and the fight a
