so the russian view now, the russian position, some of the comments we've heard from russian officials following the boston incident, is that russia has been saying for a long time, our terror threat is the same as your terror threat and we need to work together very closely in order to deal with it. >> and with that in mind, phil, is there an expectation the russians will change policy or handling of the rest of caucasus regions in light of what's just happened in boston? >> nothing to indicate that so far. indeed, really one of the constant policies of vladimir putin since he has dominated the political leadership of this country for well over 12 years now has been a very strong, very uncompromising stance on dealing with the unrest in the north caucasus. in the late 1990s, the militant threat from there was a nationalist one. it was from fighters who wanted to break away from russia and form their own independent state. but as the russian government has constantly hit them and hammered them very, very hard through the first and second chechen wars those groups have become increasing

and russian elements in the u.s. congress because basically obama needs a cooperation with russia and he's a corporation on korea it is a corporation and they run on so many other regional and global issues in his corporation if he wants to make progress in the cuts. nuclear armaments and so on but by having signed this law and by having enlarged the list has become a hostage to a very negative dynamic in the relationship and so i seeing that is like shooting oneself in the leg so i don't really see the rational for this from the point of view of a bomb administration which claims to be an administration that is paying attention to multilateralism to international partnerships well i can say that by having enlarged the list obama administration is definitely narrowing very much of the possibilities for such a partnership with russia so whatever whatever the case said that this spat at the moment of this exchanging of blacklists between moscow and washington it is absolutely not helping relations between the two bigge

civilians or any russian. specialists inside of syria including airplanes and it's all really early days or so we keep stressing this but then if any of this was to be proved to be proved that an airliner was in fact being targeted which we don't know what the ramifications potentially be. well the ramifications would be monumental first of all the western countries would have to reconsider any form of support for these rebel rebel groups or movements especially due to the presence of islamist groups the alliance between al nusra front and al-qaeda the fact that these groups would attack a civilian aircraft really shows these are the groups that the west wants so there is an act very big a quandary which the west face that kind of paralyzed in fear with these rebel groups if this was an attack on an american plane or british playing of course the media would be up in a frenzy so we have to kind of play a game of role reversal here if this was an aircraft carrier belonging to a western country and was attacked

back to russian intelligence services not only to the f.b.i. as initially reported but to the cia one possibility is of course that it was a bureaucratic failure another possibility is that poor relations. between moscow and washington devalued the russian report and when i say poor relations i mean particularly the very anti putin and the cruel atmosphere because once that starts at the highest level in the media in the white house or in the congress it spreads to all american bureaucratic agencies so it is possible i don't know if it's lightly but it's possible that the s. f.b.i. just didn't take it seriously chalked it up to a human rights issue having nothing to do with terrorism but it whatever the original. reason to devalue the russian report they didn't follow up when the brother returned to the united states after six or seven months in august and that really is inexplicable well stephen i want to take you to. senator rather florida senator bill nelson had this to say about the investigation let's take a listen the f.b.i. and all law e

the russians. so what they did check out, they weren't able to verify in any way. and i don't think that should lead us to conclude that somehow the fbi dropped the ball. also, these claims that there were multiple requests by multiple -- by the russian government to multiple agencies, from what i gather, there were only two requests, and if they were not identical, they were nearly identical. so i think people should avoid this rush to judgment of a bureau that frankly has been doing spectacular work in the investigation since the event. and i haven't seen an indication yet they failed to do the work they should have before the event. >> senators mccain requesting the -- hold a hearing to this. it seemed to me there were plenty of grounds to at the very least have an inquiry. >> absolutely. i think homeland security should. and the intelligence committee investigations have really just begun. both who get at what did we know about these brothers beforehand, what might we have done differently, wha

he spent 6 months in the russian federation. how robust is the russian intelligence in the town where the parents lived? would be expected russians to keep track of an individual during six months? or is this an area where the writ of the government -- >> two months ago, the president of dagestan proved it is a failed state. bribery is very high. and lines are too many. too many ethnic groups. >> there are within dagestan 30 different mutually non- intelligible language groups. >> not the caucasus. >> but there are 30 different nations speaking. most are tri or quadrilingual. in many areas, it is very difficult for someone from the center to penetrate the plane was -- language communities so a lot goes on that frankly no one knows.>> thank you. you have time for a one minute statement. and we will be adjourning this hearing. >> ui, mr. chairman. i've been paying attention to the testimony in my office and trying to multitask, but i felt compelled to come. the issue is, listening to a lot, we talk about the wide-open territory an

internet that russian mainstream media connects them more and i was ation of society russian t.v. does have all the bloody violent action movies as well as scandalous talk shows which are kind of more like freak shows and plenty of reality t.v. where young people pretty much act like subhuman animals in a cage they've got all that so the government is basically saying that if some guy on t.v. comes down twenty people blooded limbs flying that that is totally ok for television unless they come out for bid swear while doing it you can show brainless materialistic dimwits sleeping and fighting with everything that moves on a reality show but if they say that one magic three letter russian word then it is over the line this is not a logical way to conduct censorship but that's just my opinion. download the official publication if you so choose your language. stream quality and enjoy your favorite. if you're away from your television well it just doesn't matter how would your mobile device if you could watch on t.v. anytime anywhere. if you. listen to the world i can't go on to the pol

but what happens to russians and russian speakers is just not cool or hip or trendy or convenient enough for the mainstream media to take notice but that's just my opinion. i am from syria and i did the war in syria i like the war and just i don't go to see my friends on my. my name is. i came here because i want for my children to live in peace and to be killed russian citizens. and where i am ones are certainly all coming to russia. leave here because my all and. my name is or not to come back to the lovely country when. my name is osama. i'm planning to stay in russia. to bet your life. until just a year ago but would never have thought of leaving damascus and building a new house in a small village in the tiny republican russia and the land of his ancestors when war broke out in the caucuses one hundred fifty years ago his grandfather and hundreds of thousands of a dig is. sent to turkey jordan syria and other countries in the middle east now war has brought a twist of fate. to return to his ancestral home i have many of my brothers. i have. but i prefer to kim here because i believe

president vladimir putin these are disturbing symptoms at the same time he stressed that the russian economy has good margins of safety. i doodled want to dramatize the situation not necessarily the russian economy has a sufficient safety net. despite growing volatility on global markets prices on oil and other results russia has substantial golden currency reserves its budget reserve funds are a reliable safety cushion and what is most important people's real incomes are not shrinking but are steadily growing many experts are optimistic about the second half of twenty thirteen among them are analysts from the group they see a chance a fresh an economy rebounding this would in part be o. to a low base effect and slowing inflation investments into the russian market has so far been receding this came mostly due to risks that related with cyprus and falling commodity prices however legislation aimed at simplifying some procedures is on the way for example paying taxes was already made easier by a simplified eighty procedure and the introduction of electronic services that and similar r

a russian citizen of one thousand or more. of the man who spent eleven years in the prison for his alleged links to al qaeda and russia haven't been concerned with the situation right now in the prison with the hunger strikers asked a delegation to visit this detainee when a journalist asked if they were new and about how things were with him in gaza from the state of situation there was a very interesting exchange between the state department's spokesperson and the journalist let's have a listen mr mingles of has refused through his own legal counsel to meet with any russian delegation we've conveyed that to the russians so we're not able to facilitate the interview that they requested because we have a longstanding policy of not forcing such interviews if they're not voluntary so it's ok to watch them all off the battlefield of course rudiment one of the most would look for oil but we're certainly going to respect his right not to see the russian. pursuit of russian delegation we have when work is interesting which wrote to

the russians didn't supply it. you know, we're talking about enormous bureaucracies on both sides, and chances are that the russians actually dropped the ball or for some reason didn't want to allow us to know what kind of information they had, because they're very wary of letting us know how they collect intelligence. >> that is part of the relationship, the trouble between the fbi and the fsb, the security operations in russia. both sides really want to protect their sources and methods, and there's another human rights issue here, where the u.s. doesn't want to necessarily turn over to the russians something that might involve a political dissident, for instance. >> well, it's certainly true we have to be very careful of any information we would give to the russians that would allow them to increase harassment of civil rights activists, dissidents, what have you, and obviously they have much lower standards when it comes to these issues than we do. i don't think human rights came into the question here involving

the russians don't provide it. the letter that goes to the cia later is the identical letter as the fbi. so there's no new information or new threat. it's just they decided to simultaneously send them out and they came through different tracks. so the cia didn't have anything to do with this. but no one knew this until this week. >> tom, stand by. to get this on, again it is coming in. the person who got this is suzanne candiotti who is breaking the story. suz susan we are clurntly -- in 2007 after russia expressed kshs but this is certainly something new here, whole new level. >> reporter: it is. because as tom was ex-plapg as well, this is information that the fbi said it did not have back in 2007. now, would it have made a difference back then? it may very well have. again these conversations were vague but at least the fbi said at the time it didn't have much to chew on. now, remember, the fbi did interview tamerlan and did interview the mother and did, as a matter of fact, enter at least they names into a fede

we know that the information was thinned, we know that the russian russians are not likely to give up their sources to us it and when the united states authorities went back to them on more than one occasion and asked for more information, i'm told they did not get a case report back to us. the fact that this information was coming from the russians at all should raise a red flag. >> what about the money here? i mean, there is a money trail here that has to be followed. doesn't the it appear to be an expensive plot. you got some information about -- or a theory that law enforcement is working with financing this spot or his income. his trip to russia. >> right. they call it a working theory. investigators are looking into whether he sold drugs as a way to earn income. we know that he had a wife who worked -- we know that the family was on welfare until 2012. as you point out, anderson, this is not a really expense iive pl. not an expensive bomb. but he did go back to russia, and he had to finance that somehow and help his family while he was gone for six months, right? >> right. and i

the fbi asked the russians for more information, but the russians did not respond. the fbi checked their terror databases and found nothing. fbi agents interviewed tamerlan and his family in cambridge then, and the agent's conclusion was nothing negative found. that conclusion was then reported to russian officials. eight months later in september of 2011, russian officials asked the american government for information on tamerlan and his mother again, but this time, they put their request directly to the cia. like the fbi before them, the cia asked the russians for more information. and the russians did not provide any more information. the answer back to russia from the cia was identical to the one given by the fbi months earlier. nothing negative found. but tamerlan's name was entered into the federal government's master terrorism database so u.s. officials kept a record of his travel to moscow in 2012. also under investigation tonight is that man known only as misha who reportedly steered the older brother toward religious extremi extremism. the associated press

the russians are aware of this, and the russians did not give it to the fbi back in 2011. if they had, i think it definitely would have changed the whole tone of the investigation and it well could have led to a very different result. all of us wish that the russians had provided that information to the fbi when the fbi did ask for additional information and the russians did not respond. >> are they cooperating better now, the russians, with the u.s. in this investigation? >> my understanding is they are. the russians also see this as an opportunity to have america realize the pornimportance of t whole -- or the danger of the whole chechen movement. i think it serves the russians' purposes right now. however, there's always going to be a certain level of distrust between the u.s. and russia, between our intelligence agencies and theirs. so they will give us i think whatever helps them, they will not give us anything that will reveal their sources and methods. but they're certainly being much more form coming and i think both sides, the united states and russia, see this as

but the russians were not satisfied with the fbi nothing suspicious report so the russians then asked the cia to look into tamerlan's background, especially any links to radical islam. so the cia added tamerlan's name to its terrorist database. tamerlan's parents watched all of this from dagestan, the russian republic, where they were interviewed late this week over there by the fbi. the fbi's findings. 15 months ago, january of last year, tamerlan visited dagestan where he stayed some seven months and then returned to the u.s. that was july of last year. nine months before last week's boston attacks. this seven-month stay by tamerlan in dagestan has led u.s. terror experts to speculate on what happened to tamerlan while in dagestan. here's one informed view." while it is too early to tell, i suspect that tamerlan was radicalized in the u.s. but used his months in dagestan to receive the military training and bomb-making skills needed for the boston attacks." so says glen howard, the president of 9 jamestown foundation, a d.c.-based think tank founded to help soviet dissidents. questi

the russian evidence right now, i'll tell you, the russians are coming out with a lot of information after the fact. we now know that the fbi asked them for further information when they said look at this family, look at this brother. they now have more information. so part of what's unfolding here is russian intelligence authorities either are making amends for failing to give us the information or having kept it in the first place. but neither is a good story and so i'm very cautious about believing now that the russian story is sort of perfectly packaged at this stage. i think there's more to come on the russian side. >> yeah. i'm sure you're right. i don't make any decisions about who to hire without going to angie's list first. you'll find reviews on home repair to healthcare written by people just like you. with angie's list, i know who to call, and i know the results will be fantastic. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. ♪ haters best get to bloggin' in it ♪ ♪ so hot right now that our designer ♪ ♪ sunglasses be foggin' ♪ this crowd is classic ♪ so we play 'em

months and the russian federation. how robust is the russian intelligence in the town where the parents lived? would be expected russians to keep track of an individual during six months? or is this an area where the writ of the government -- >> two months ago, the president a dagestan proved it is failed state. bribery is very high. and lines are too many. too many ethnic groups. there are within dagestan 30 different mutually non- intelligible languages -- language groups. not the caucasus. but there are 30 different nations speaking. most are tri or quadrilingual. in many areas, it is very difficult for someone from the center to penetrate the plane was communities so a lot goes on that frankly >> thank you. we have time for one minute statement and then we will be wrapping up this hearing. >> thank you. i have been paying attention closely. i felt compelled. i have a question. the issue is i have been listening to a lot and talking about the terrorists in the terrain that is not manageable. we have tried to bring s

two letters to the russians saying they hadn't found anything and the russians didn't respond to it. why didn't they follow up with at least a phone call or try to meet with the russians. >> you have also been critical with how the justice department handled the case, that tsarnaev shouldn't have been read his miranda rights when he was. the department of justice was not only able to use the public safety exception and obtain valuable information but was able to apply the current law as it exists in an entirely appropriate manner. are you saying they should have held them for longer, using the public safety exemption? isn't there a certain amount of time that they have to have judicial proceedings and they basically it's like a two-day window? >> the fbi have said they never heard of a magistrate walking, a federal magistrate walking in and stopping an interrogation the way this was done. there were only 16 hours of interrogation and actually, a person can be held, there's no magic number of the two days, especially in this case where they actually had surgery or a surgical procedure

they never hear back from the russians. what the russians do is in september, about september 28th of 2011, they send the same request to the cia with no further information either. cia runs its traps, say we don't find anything, and then in october, when they close it out, just as a precaution, they nominate him to a low level terrorism data base so that if he travels, it will say when he left and when he came back, and those things register. but officially, to the u.s. government, unless the russians came back with more, he's a closed case. here's the most important thing. the russians don't have the department of justice guidelines or the intelligence guidelines. they're not limited that way in putin's russia. when he went there for six months, one might ask if they felt that tsarnaev was such a threat, did they follow him? did they tap him? did they arrest him? did they detain him? did they question him? we haven't seen any of that material here. and the focus seems to be on what did the fbi or cia do. i would be very c
