dmitri's efforts are just a drop in the bucket. in over a year he's only managed to bring out a handful of fighters from isis. and they were quickly replaced. brian. >> richard engel just over the turkish border tonight. richard, thanks. >>> now in this country we turn to ferguson, missouri. u.s. attorney general eric holder is there by order of the president, meeting with members of that community and the family of michael brown. nbc's ron allen is there for us to begin our coverage yet again. ron, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. those demanding justice for michael brown are relieved that eric holder is here because they simply don't trust the local authorities. a relatively peaceful night with a hope that ferguson just may have hit a turning point. the nation's top cop has promised a fair and thorough look into officer darren wilson's fatal shooting of unarmed michael brown 11 days ago. >> questioning why are you here? my answer would be why would i be anywhere other than right here, right now. >> reporter: attorn

cross-talk the crisis in ukraine i'm joined by my guest dmitri lennox in london he is head of the london bureau for voice of russia also in london we have alexander clocks and he is the founder of global political insight and here in moscow we cross to michael hughes he is a journalist and foreign policy analyst who often writes for the huffington post and the examiner right gentlemen crosstalk rules a fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it dimitri in london if i can go to you as we sit down here with the presidents of ukraine and russia have met in minsk there is no outcome of any possible one on one but they shook hands at least that ok shakos running out of time is certainly out of money and a lot of people losing patience particularly the europeans particularly anglo merkel where are we in this situation right now and we all know that winter is looming and russia and ukraine have no gas deal. well we're in the middle of a few conflicting lines i think. during her recent meeting with president bush and co chancellor merkel. she pressed him for tr

the right sector and poroshenko economic problems in a few minutes here michael if i can go to you dmitri mentioned you know the my down crowd which i think he's being a bit generous so there's some really nasty elements surrounding him in that government right now i mean is he hostage more to them or to victoria nuland or are they will all of those. groups all on one side because you know if you have put it he said this in the past you know he's agreed to things outright will get a cease fire in place we'll talk to these people and then within twenty four hours after a phone call apparently from washington he said you know a bombing civilians again in eastern ukraine i mean who is part of shank oh is he a man that you could do business with. i think he is alternately going to go partly where the money's coming from and i know the u.s. is more than willing to you know they've authorized funding for ukraine military so we can expect that to keep happening the u.s. doesn't want to see a this resolve they want they want to see ukrainian military victory because they're short sighted and they

so dmitri, an ex-soldier did something. >> you decided to go in and find him yourself? >> i don't have another solution. i couldn't stay at home. >> reporter: dmitri went to syria, found his son and brought him out. now other parents have asked dmitri to help recover their children. >> richard, how many of these people who have joined isis from around the world don't have islamic or middle eastern backgrounds? how many of them are like western people who just like the politics of isis and joined it from across ethnic lines? >> probably around 3,000 or 4,000. moistly european. has a heavy european flavor. and the vast majority of the people who are joining up with isis. isis doesn't even need right now to recruit people. it's having people just showing up and offering their services. there are probably 3,000 or 4,000 europeans primarily, but there are many more iraqis. iraq now has an open border. isis controls territory in iraq. it controls territory in syria. and many iraqis who don't like their shiite government, don't like what's happening in their country are just c

well what was the noun's by prime minister dmitri medvedev is that russia will ban the imports of food stamps from a number of countries that supported sanctions against russia. these nations are the e.u. countries the united states australia canada and norway and what this will mean is that they'll be restrictions put in place import into russia of root vegetables some dairy products and fish. this ban will last for a year that's what they've said so far and another move also ukrainian airlines will be plans for a russian air space now that's also covered by the same the same ban for one year now dmitri medvedev in announcing this said that it actually gave it give russian industry and agricultural sectors the chance to put right some of the problems that exist in those sectors already and to take up the slack themselves he also said that there would be if their global partners of russia's global partners acted in a responsible manner then well these sanctions could go away this ban on imports could go away so that's the world looks like at the minute we're going to see a ban on some

. >> dmitri alperovitch, why haven't more providers, service providers, which is to say websites, or the online versions of stores and companies that we combine business with, gone with two-step authorization -- like when you buy a concert ticket -- you have to enter your account these and then fill out screens to get to the point where you buy the ticket. >> that does not help as much. they just slow you down and prevent criminals from trying a lot of passwords again and again. what is known as a two-factor identification system where you have a separate token. it might be on your phone, or hardware, that you need to use, and companies need to use the two-factor authentication. >> we do that here at bloomberg, as you would expect, but i cannot see myself walking around with a j.crew token that i will use to log into j.crew.com one i want to buy a tie, shirt, or some boxer shorts or something. >> these days you do not have to have a hardware token. free software called google authenticator that gives you different tokens for different applications. it is very easy to use. the solutio

. >>> russian prime minister dmitry medvedev has announced a food ban on foods items in the west. this is in retaliation for sanctions against his country over the crisis in ukraine. >> translator: taking countermeasures are not so easy. but we are obliged to do this. we have repeatedly said there would be no gain in enforcing their sanctions. >> medvedev said the ban covers all meat, fish, and dairy products from the united states, canada, the european union, norway, and australia. he said the ban will last for one year. japan was among the countries that imposed sanctions against russia, but its foodstuffs were not included in moscow's action. medvedev said that the russian government is considering a prohibition on u.s. and european air carriers flying over russia to and from asia. the move would force western airlines to change their routes as many of their flights pass over russia's siberia. the european commission has expressed regret over russia's ban. >> the european union regrets the announcement by the russian federation of measures which will target imports of food and

you now have a man by the name of dmitri who was russia's ambassador to nato and now deputy prime minister. he is russia's national snub one. already about 15 years ago he wrote in a book, no matter how unrealistic it seems today, we must persevere coming out like germany. russia has had long-term designs on these territories. the problem is with ukraine as -- ukrainians remember 2 million people that were killed by the forced famine in the 1930s. >> more than that. >> two, three, four, but a lot of people were killed and many of them were killed in these eastern territories that are under contention and. the empty homes and were filled by russians who came from other parts of russia. if you go as far in russia to the pacific island of -- you'll find many people with ukrainian names. they were sent to the camps. that's not forgotten in ukraine. so russia covert ukraine but ukraine is not ready to embrace russia. >> putin is a nationalist, et cetera ideological i think it's hard to say. people uzbe who speak russia teg his rhetoric has grown more nationalistic including using that i think a

condi and i met a couple of times, she more often than i did, with dmitry medvedev. i came away with my sessions with him saying, this guy gets it, he understands why russia needs greater rule of law, why it needs to be more democratic, and why it needs to move more towards the west. i think it's one of the great tragedies of russia, which seems to happen with great regularity in russia, that all of that potential was essentially wiped away by putin's desire to resume the presidency. so sanctions are, in some ways, they can be very narrowly focused, and in others have very broad effect. the narrow focus, i think, has been in going after specific individuals around putin and those we think have been involved in these activities in ukraine, the security services and so on. i think the tough issue, and first of all i agree with the sanctions in place one russia at this point, but the key is, going back to condi's comments, how do you bring pressure on putin without breaking russia? dysfunctional russia or a russia that faces grave internal problems for a long time to co

dmitry medvedev's twitter account has been hacked. i am resigning, he didn't announce, but he didn't announce. i'm ashamed by the act of the government forgive me. later he says of vladmir putin, i wanted to say this for a long, long time, you are wrong. crimea is not ours, please retweet. this is actually a play on crimea is ours which is the hashtag and a group in russian humty dumpty has claimed responsibility for that. i think he is also a amateur photographer and he was going to retire to take up photography full-time. anyone seeing those tweets didn't believe them for a second. they don't ring very true. >> putting that russian humpty dumpty together again, i would imagine. another photo that has gone viral of france's finance minister. >> he was on holidays. he was on a island and these photos came out of him on a robot all on his lonesome. the french verb tends to sort of mean you're in difficulty. >> you're struggling. >> you're really struggling. as we would be told later on, the figures for the economy for growth are not so

restrictions placed upon them are meeting fruit or vegetables dairy products and fish for their prime minister dmitry medvedev said this ban. of around a year would be in place for a year you could be under review should there blow ballpark. what he called reasonable east towards russia there's an awful lot of money at stake here over twelve billion euros to trade is done exporting food from here in europe to russia already countries searches finland. contacted brussels and said look if we're going to miss out on this type of trade because of sanctions you've put in place we need compensation our farmers need compensation from brussels to make up the shortfalls particularly in finland in the dairy markets they could stand to lose up to one billion euro from the finnish economy elsewhere we've heard statements coming out across from across europe here in germany the trade union that deals with wholesale trade and foreign trade said that this could have a detrimental effect on the german economy in greece the main opposition party said that well the fact that the greek government the current greek gove

or prime minister dmitri medvedev has confirmed that all imports into russia of beef pork cheese poultry and fish from those countries that backed sanctions against russia and no longer going to be allowed so that's a ban on all of those things coming in from the e.u. the u.s. australia canada and norway you know in another move what's been announced on thursday transit for air travel between ukraine that would have had a transit stop off in russia is now no longer going to be allowed to enter russian airspace so that means if you're going to fly from say kiev to hong kong and you have a layover in moscow that flights not going anywhere right now now. also the prime minister also said that this was a unique chance with regards to the the ban on imports of agricultural goods from europe and elsewhere that this was a unique chance to solve the problems within russia's own industry and agricultural sectors he also said that there was a. if their partners around the world if their western partners were to take a more reasonable stance regarding sanctions against russia that the import ban co

contact moscow is now preparing its own response to the sanctions and that's according to prime minister dmitry medvedev there are reports it is considering limiting or banning european flights from crossing is airspace to asia artie's katie pilbeam takes a look at the potential consequences. beyond now. all of the holiday season people wishing to travel to asia from europe could find themselves caught up in all the function cayle so in response to european sanctions grounding one of russia's low cost airlines russia is now considering shutting down its major transit routes for european and lives so far as you can see from this map we've taken recently from flight trader twenty four dot com the flights are performed through russia's siberia right because it's short and therefore cheaper which ultimately means a cheaper ticket for the consumer if russia was to close this route your holiday flight from europe to asia will be several hours long and it's already a one off right now in fact the european allies will need about four thousand kilometers to their routes which equates to an extra thirty

and had no other choice but to take cover across the border political analyst from the words russia dmitry babich believes the latest news crushes manning myths about the conflict created by the western media. if russia is an aggressor if it's hated in ukraine then why did these people decide to go to russia why do with have refugees from eastern ukraine coming north to central ukraine by becoming more suited to russia it's clear that these soldiers if they return to ukraine some of them will be accused of treason but it's quite clear that they don't get the support of the local population leeson they say they have nothing to eat that means that the locals after all the destructions that the ukrainian army has inflicted of them the war goes on not prepared to feed the fleeing soldiers so these ukrainian soldiers had no other way but to go to russia now there have been wrangler reports that the kearney army is demoralized some complain about having to fire on their own people others pointed out appalling conditions and poor equipment. is the. business news. consumer the reason we. post says

of meats fruit vegetables dairy products and fish and the bomb that was announced by prime minister dmitry medvedev this is set to to last for one year another reaction here in europe as you can imagine anybody working in the agriculture sector they're quite concerned twelve billion of course across the e.u. block it's an awful lot of money to lose from your from your economy here in germany the trade union that deals with foreign exports and wholesales has said this could put the german economy at risk especially the agriculture sector in any of the sectors linked to the transport of those foodstuffs in the way mia they're apparently putting together a plan to put forward to the the e.u. demanding compensation for the money that they're going to loosen their economy from this ban. being able to export things into russia and finland finland could perhaps be the worst affected nation they do a lot of trade when it comes to dairy produce with russia around twenty five percent of all of their agricultural trade is to russia they could loose it's estimated up to one billion euros so huge amoun

jim dean he is a managing editor and columnist for veterans today and here in moscow we crossed to dmitri bobbitt she's a political analyst with the voice of russia or a gentleman cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage and joshua in new york you wrote an article a few weeks ago that was amazingly moving for my opinion my opinion and it talked about perceptions of the civil war in ukraine to the point where even the west doesn't even want to dare call it a civil war because there would be culpability involved please tell our viewers what the article was about and why you wrote it. well my impression is that many intellectuals or liberal publications which focus on the war in ukraine. first of all they depicted as if it's a war between ukraine and russia which is absolutely false it's basically a situation in which the state ukraine has turned against its own citizens is bombarding them with impunity and it's ukraine secondly it depicts the oppression we often get in the western media in the mainstream media of the conflict in ukrain

it is transferred to his prime minister who becomes president, dmitri medvedev. retreats somewhat and becomes prime minister but everyone understands him still to be the most powerful person. oil and gas prices are still very high. suddenly, in 2012, there are .treet demonstrations people now want even more. that's what happens in society. middle-class becomes the middle class and they enjoy the fruits of that but -- guess what? elections,ransparent real democracy. what set off the anger of the middle class was the perfunctory announcement, "i'm back. i'm running for president again. medvedev is out." it is called the castling maneuver. it is hard-core authoritarianism or worse. people were angry coming out to the streets in tens of thousands. he's intended. he's angry. -- he is incended. >> angry because he is coming back? >> in a preemptively nondemocratic way. they have been promised to them for decades now. some of them are quite conservative or nationalistic. there are no real leaders, no ideology. putin wins. he comes back. he crushes them. lot withhis poli

-- current political climate between the two countsies, >>> deadef announced -- the prime minister dmitry deadef announced a ban in retaliation for sanctions imposed by the european union over russia's support for separatists in eastern ukraine. rory challands is in moscow with more. >> reporter: the list of embargoed products is long and extensive covering beef, pork, poultry, fish, cheeses, milk and dairy, fruit and vegetables, no longer being imported from the european union, the united states, nor way, canada and australia. to give you an idea of how reliance russia has been recently on these countries for imports, 61% of its beef came from the european union. and the united states in 2013. 27% of its milk, dairy and cheeses. other countries will step in to fill the void and russian production will have to up as well. economists are starting to worry about what inflationary pressure these embargoes might have, and russians have been going on social media. i have seen pictures of the empty shelves from the sooun yn days -- soviet union days. people are worried whether scenes will be re

we are seeing his flexibility that he promised, dmitry said it will transmit that. we are seeing what that is. you can see down commercial jetliners, invade other countries. the u.s. it will nothing. lou: and in fairness neither will the european union. >> they always followed. lou: responsibility to do so. >> but were cut us in the balkans. in the backyard of the europeans they don't do stuff of leslie lead. obama, this is a dereliction of duty. he does not lead cover and he does not lead because it does not believe in the greatness of this country, the wonderful force for good that america can be. we can only be a force for good if we are strong, and we are strong through -- it is peace through strength, that great reagan line. we are seeing how america is being torn down. lou: always good to have you here. thank you. the book is an act of war. time for a few of your comments. russia has us at our weakest a longtime. he will try to take advantage. obama is waiting for the next president to handle the foreign policy decisions, and in his mind he is in the last minu

dmitry medvedev made the announcements covering imports of meat, fish, fruit, vegetable, and product from australia, canada, european union, norway and the united states. the ban will last a year. it's doubtful russia will see empty shovels and stores reminiscent of soviet times, but russia imports 40% of needs, and will likely drive up prices for ordinary russians, it's meant to show vladimir putin's resolve to open a new front against the west. >> the trump card may be that russia may be able to give up cheap energy. >> that's his calculation, he's right. if he sends droops in europe will get tough. >> vladimir putin has high approval ratings at whom and is known not to respect nuance. >> he group up in the kgb where the strong survive. it's a battle for rest eem and face. that is the -- prestige and face. that's is the danger. it's important for vladimir putin to be seen as stopping up for the americans. >> regardless of what happens next, it will not likely retare tattered u.s.-russian relationships. >> that relationship has been growing colder. the crisis raised tensions to leve

russian prime minister dmitry medvedev said today that moscow is answering in kind. >> ( translated ): all the measures have a solely retaliatory character. we didn't want such a development of events. we sincerely hope that our partners economic pragmatism will prevail over petty political reasons, and they will think, and not try to frighten and limit russia. >> reporter: notwithstanding the kremlin's defiance, president obama argues russia is hurting. he spoke at a washington news conference last night. >> sanctions are working as intended in putting enormous pressure and strain on the russian economy. the economy has ground to a halt. somewhere between $100 billion and $200 billion of capital flight has taken place. >> reporter: what's more, u.s. officials said today, russia is, in effect, imposing sanctions on its own people, by banning the main sources of imports that account for one-quarter of food consumption in russia and a much higher percentage in the major cities. today, a top u.s. treasury official left open the possibility of more u.s. sanctions if russia does not re- th

for that, we turn to dmitri alperovitch, co founder and chief technology officer of crowdstrike, a web security firm. mr. alperovitch, in context of all the other breaches in the past year, say, relative to those, how big is this? >> well, the number is certainly striking. 1.2 billion credentials is a lot. in the past, wie seen big breaches that numbered in the hundreds of millions but this is certainly the biggest one that i can remember. >> woodruff: are we talking about a targeted attack in which they are trying to take down either individuals or corporations or was this a sweep? >> not all the details are known yet but what we do know is that these criminals did aggregate a lot of stolen data from other cybercriminals and that probably amplified some of these numbers. they were also able to hack into a number of web sites and steal credentials people were using to log in as web sites. >> woodruff: when we say shadowy russian crime ring, who are the hackers? >> they have not been publicly identified. they have been called cyberthieves, cyberwar -- in russian, "war" means thief -- an
