to know about the effectiveness of these effectiveness of these measures. >> it think the future of russia depends and i have thought a great deal about it in the first priority the danger of participating in elections that the regime controls although i am not opposed is that it gives legitimacy to the regime and under controlled circumstances gives the impression to the population that what is taking place is a real democratic process. the same dilemma that people face for example, i based it when i had invitations to appear a russian television i did not want to take part in a performance that was not honest and did not conform to normal ethical rules. but there is some value to take part in these elections as long as it doesn't nurture illusions it can that is a process that is controlled by the regime that will be changed in other ways most important in my view with russia's future is something of a russia of equivalent to the south african commission of truth and reconciliation. the 25 years of post-communist history are not well understood and unfortunately the abuses began not with

>> reporter: this trip to china is important for russia, this whole strategic alliance that russia has been building with china over the past couple of years really is central to putin's foreign policy. a couple years ago there was an important gas deal, $400 billion worth of a deal with china and a major about face in the energy policy in russia. more deals are be signed today, something like 30 business deals including a joint project to develop a wide body aircraft and civilian helicopter. and so economically it's important particularly when russia faces that economic isolation from the united states and european union. but it's the political die mention of this relationship that i think is most important to the kremlin and it's isolated by the west, it's facings sanctions. it's at odds with nato, at odds with the united states and europe over syria, but it can show this relationship, it can boost this relationship with china and say look, we're not isolated in the world, we have powerful allies and present that relationship as a counterbalance to western power. that's what is impor

i think the future of russia depends -- i have been involved with russia for many years and have thought a great deal about it. i think the first priority, the danger of participating in elections which the regime controls, although i'm not opposed to it, is that it gives legitimacy to the regime and actually under controlled circumstances, gives the impression to the population that what's taking place is a real that is what taking place is a real democratic process. this is the same dilemma people face. i faced it one time when i was receiving invitations to appear on russian television, that i did not want to take part in a performance that in fact was not honest and did not conform to normal ethical rules. but there is some value in taking part in these elections, as long as those who do so don't nurture illusions that this can change the regime. it can't. this is a process controlled by the regime. the regime will be changed in other ways. most important, in my view, requirement for russia's future is something, a russian equivalent of the south african commission on truth and recon

meaning not for russia. the usa track and field supports the ban saying quote -- russia is expected to find some way the appeal the ioc meets this tuesday and they've hinted more far reaching punishments could be on the way for russia. in new york, brian llenas, fox news. >>> a massive fire is putting hundreds of homes at risk in southern california. firefighters have been battling flames, fueled by strong wind gusts in santa barbara county. about 4600 acres burned so far and right now the fire is about 50% contained. overnight, ifs took advantage of a break in the winds. no homes have been destroyed but about 270 homes and ranches are at risk. and with temperatures in southern california expected to rise over the weekend, fire crews warn the fire could intensify. those extreme temperatures have already hit phoenix. temperatures there hit 111 degrees today. and could reach get this -- 120 on sunday and monday. officials with the department of health have issued an excessive heat warning for arizona, nevada,

>> well, i just mentioned russia. russia seems to be-- has long wanted to be the most powerful country on the european continent. that's been their strategy going back centuries. and it's been true in the last couple of years. we've seen then act aggressively on the border with europe. now that they smell a little weakness in europe, i think it's safe to say we may soon see them trying to probe that border, trying to find other areas of weakness to test. now that britain is no longer a part-- strong military, is no longer part of the european union they may try to take advantage of that. >> stewart: the the analogy everybody has been siewgz this is a qors. will this be a knock-down, crag-them-out divorce, go to meade expaigz play nice divorce or a quickie divorce? >> that is exact let's question people are wondering, and i think it comes down to a law, a provision called article 50. that was written spot european treaties when they wrote it. it's not clear they thought anyone would actually use that. but now that they

, it would be natural for japan to reach out to russia in order to weaken the ties between russia and china. china and russia are not necessarily natural allies, in fact, many ways they are national competitors. and, again, and again recently, you know, i have a number of friends in the japanese foreign ministry feel that we are unnecessarily pushing russia into a corner on crimea and ukraine and other issues. however, the big problem, again, in terms of russia and japanese relations and we're going to have more discussions of that in the next few -- couple of months is the northern territories, which i did not touch upon. what the japanese call the northern territories and the russia consider the southern islands. and here again, we have a difficult situation which nationalism on both sides is playing a major role. for the japanese side the notion that you have to get all four islands back in one sitting it seems to be so deeply ingrained and it's tied in with the japanese vision of victimization that is the northern territories are the sort of symbol of russian betrayal of japan at

to a person, they say russia. ian: i had a conversation -- charlie: i had a conversation with joe biden on syria. biden: vladimir putin is trying to get out of syria. it is costing him billions of dollars. the rest of the world sees that they are not capable. he has a great problem in ukraine and europe, his economy almost a freefall, so this is a guy that is not winning anything. charlie: but he is a player in the world. joe biden: he is a player in the sense that he is engaged in practically him as a practical matter, supporting a dictator who is killing tens of thousands of his people. so, if you call that a player, influential in the world -- no. charlie: a willingness on the part of russia to talk about a new constitution in syria, where a sawed -- assad is still there. ian: that is something they are willing to engage on with the americans and i think that america has had useful conversations. they talked about syria a couple of months ago, and they are still militarily engaging. including an aleppo against

putin says russia is willing to reach out to improve ties. he says european business leaders want to change and he's calling on leaders to respond. the european union and the united states slapped economic sanctions on russia after its annexation of crimea. the sanctions have contributed to an already gloomy outlook for the russian economy at a time of low oil prices. russia did not initiate the current breakdown and problems that brought about the sanctions. remain as a response, but as we traditionally say, we do not hold a grudge and we are ready to accommodate our european partners. this obviously cannot be a one-sided game. markus: shares in apple are under pressure in new york trading. it comes over the news that officials in beijing ruled against the american electronics giant in a patent dispute. there is speculation that the legal standoff could or's apple to halt sales of certain iphone models in the chinese capital. apple has made an appeal against the patent ruling and says all its own in china remain on sale -- all of its phones

from russia alone, according to figures, two and a half,000 have left. it is a really big problem that the authorities in russia and in other countries are trying hard to tackle. it's also something you can't get a handle on, there are muslim majority areas in southern russia, and countries are muslim majority. a lot of people there that see the attraction of isis, and the flow of militants to join those rebel groups like isis in syria has been unstoppable. it is a problem that's big for the russians and turks as well. >> matthew chance, alexandra field, thanks to both of you. for more on the terror attack in turkey, let's bring in state department spokesman, john kirby. the istanbul airport attackers were sent from syria and that isis leadership was involved in the planning, do you feel confident saying that isis planned the attack? >> we don't know for sure here in the united states exactly how the investigation is unfolding. we want to respect that process. we have seen comments by turkish officials, respect their work as they continue to investigate.

our army has always been on for russia. our officers have all started a russia. we know that our russian friends are people whom you can rely on. and who we can trust. it is a relationship of respect. >> the first thing i would like to ask you as you can comment on reports that the syrian army and the russian air force are about to launch an operation on the ice is held area. i'm sorry i'm not a military officer and i've no clue if they're preparing for an operation or not. want forolutely don't thato feel at this is -- this questioning is unfair and we have done reporting humberside. both sides. and is absolutely great to get your response to questions. there been some studies of bombing activities. by both syria and the regime. the syrian regime and its russian allies. he found that over 90% of the airstrikes evidencing to date according to spokesman john and october 2015, 19% laser strikes were not targeting isis berries. not 2% of the strikes were targeting smaller, less known groups that do not have the same reputation for extremism. i would like a response

he said that russia doesn't hold a grudge against europe and called for the sanctions imposed on russia to be lifted. he also basically criticized the west for ignoring russia's interest saying that there is no reason that nato continued to expand after the breakup of the soviet union and the u.s.-led missile defense system posed a threat to russia. but he was asked about the endorsement he apparently gave to donald trump some time ago and he tried to clarify he was not endorsing trump for president but was just pointing out some of his qualities. >> why are you juggling with what i said? i only said he is a bright person. isn't he bright? he is. he is -- i did not say anything else ability him. -- about him. but there's one thing that i paid attention to and that i definitely welcome is that mr. trump said that he is ready to restore full-fledged russian-american relations. what can they be bad about it? don't you welcome it? >> so not a whole-hearted endorsement of the republican candidate but nevertheless, vladimir putin talking in positive terms about donald trump. >> interesting, m
