vladimir putin is not our friend. and there is simply no comparing the actions of the united states with those of putin's russia. ultimately, helsinki was a squandered opportunity to challenge vladimir putin's false narratives on issues including ukraine and syria and russia's ongoing interference in our democracy. so i understand the interest in these issues. i'm sure this resolution is a popular idea in some political circles. but ultimately, it is not a wise approach to oversight. indeed, it would only threat ton distract if the bipartisan -- threaten, distract the bipartisan legislative and investigative efforts of this committee. this resolution's broad demand for documents conflicts with the strongest form of executive privilege recognized by the courts. the so-called presidential communications privilege. rooted in the constitutional separation of powers, presidential communications privilege applies to direct decision make big the president -- decision-making by the president and also protects communications m

vladimir putin is not a friend of the united states and the american people. he's a brutaldictator whose values are contrary to our own . given how little we know about what transpired in helsinki, how can we trust that the president didn't offer purposefully or otherwise sensitive information that could put our citizens, soldiers or allies in danger? how can we trust that he didn't commit to actions or agreements that might be dark interest and given that we still don't know the details relating to russia's involvement in the election, how can we trust that what was discussed between trump and his supporters vladimir putin didn't compromise the president ability to support and defend the constitution against our enemies? these are basic questions that are absolutely critical to our understanding of the administration's policies. we have an obligation as a committee over foreign affairs to conduct proper oversight of the administration's actions and policies . i can't imagine what the reason my colleagues could possibly use to justify their unwillingness to su

they have no conscious memory of a leader before vladimir putin. young people today in russia are increasingly alienated by some measures from putin or at least the kremlin is very worried about this new generation. >> reporter: the analysts say that even though vladimir putin's rule is secure for now, he is worried enough about his slide in popularity that he might try to pull off some kind of a drastic move to goose that popularity and do something that's worked for him in the past, something like an aggressive military move or maybe even an invasion like what he did in crimea. jim? >> alarming prospects, no question, but more protests could be coming soon. what are you expecting in the days ahead? >> putin's main opponent, alexie navalny has called for more protests and the russian government is bracing for possible new u.s. sanctions that could talent -- threaten to hit their currency. >> it's the economy stupid, how do you say that in russian. >> right? >> brian todd, thanks very much. >>> breaking news tonight. a hurricane warning in effect f

even as he talks down alliances, even as he caters and panders to vladimir putin at the summit. even when he trashes our allies in the g7, even when he rips up agreements that disrupts long-term friendships and relationships. even when he deplores the eu and says that nato, our longest alliance that worked so well and still does, is obsolete. is there any line he can cross that might merit your higher? this resolution allowed to come to the floor without a recommendation, would be something then the house of representatives, the people's body, could debate. and fruitfully so. or are we today once again simply going to vote along party lines to protect and defend the indefensible in foreign policy, and once again shirk our duty as the committee of jurisdiction and cognizance to protect the foreign interests of the united states of america? even when that means we cross the executive. i hope we think long and hard about our action today and i think mr. boyle for his leadership in this resolution and my friend from florida for yielding. >> i yield back the bounds of a time. >> the

but never vladimir putin. in february, robert mueller's staff announced the indictment of more than a dozen russians accused of conspireing to hack the democratic national committee and hillary clinton's presidential campaign. president trump did not attack the russians who were indicted. instead, president trump attacked the investigation that led to the indictment of those russians. and he never attacked vladimir putin who ordered those russian military officers who were indicted to attack our democracy. that stunned "new york times" columnist tom friedman. he gave up his weekend to write a column. he joined us to talk about what he called code red in america. >> our democracy is in serious danger. that was the first sentence of an extraordinary column by tom friedman. it describes the trump presidency in truly threatening terms, threatening to the united states of america. tom was not scheduled to public a column, but at the end of an extraordinary weekend, tom felt compelled to say something. tom friedman.

do you think vladimir putin had knowledge of what happened? in russia, vladimir putin, he does not give the final approval to, in his eyes, such small actions like this. but he definitely creates an atmosphere, he creates an atmosphere where such paramilitary groups and agencies do what they can do. so it generally falls into the line which has been determined by vladimir putin. and why you? i'm intrigued as to why they would pick on an activist like yourself, a young man, who... can he really be described as a thorn in vladimir putin's side? we are only making a distinction like that, because the actions we do are as loud as anything happening in russia. for them, it is quite a big deal and they think of ways to counterbalance that. and yeah, that's just the price you have to pay in russia. if you want russia to change and be a different country, then you have to be ready for things. are you frightened now? are you frightened ? i wouldn't say i really... maybe it is my psychological problem, i do not really feel what can be described as fear

now vladimir putin has addressed the claims directly. on stage at an economic forum, he announced that the men were no agents, but civilians. translation: we know who they are. we found them. i hope they'll appear and explain everything. this will be best for everyone. there is nothing special here, nothing criminal, i assure you. the president's tone matches this. other officials have been busy mocking the british case as absurd, a soap opera, even claiming that cctv footage was faked. british police say the suspects' names are likely to be aliases, so it's possible whoever russia has now found, it's not the men who travelled to salisbury at all. with these surprise comments, vladimir putin has raised the prospect that the suspects in the salisbury poisoning could appear in public, perhaps very soon. but all along, moscow has dismissed the allegations coming from london as nonsense. so whatever happens now, it seems unlikely to take the british investigation any further. this former kgb officer told me russia could be behind the salisbu

also vladimir putin made the question -- said yes, they are civilians. rejecting the allegation which has been made by british investigators that these were two figures who were agents of the gru, russian military intelligence who carried out a state-sanctioned operation in salisbury to poison the former gru officer, sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia. that's a version of events that even the russians through vladimir putin have acknowledged the existence of these individuals, the version of events that they were spies sent on an assassination mission is being denied by the russians. this has been an extraordinarily djt dama damaging episode for the russians, 153 people expelled as a result of this. >> the russians having the biggest war games in decades with members of the chinese pla right there alongside -- clearly a lot going on in the last few days. thank you very much for that. matthew chance in moscow this morning. >>> the epa is proposing a rollback on methane gas leak inspections and repairs. instead of requiring companies to conduct leak in

i don't think so since his reelection in march president vladimir putin has formally been in this saddle and saying through the election today he's got his people throughout the country now in almost all local governments and parliaments. as far as mccann see this election had no surprises the election campaign was of the weakest in a long time with no real competition in most regions in the us it is this result has already been taken for granted we spoke to the election observers from the goal loss it's an movement for defense of voters rights and they said that that the state counted that's have been the running nearly opposed people who could compete with those in power are not allowed to run at all the same situation by the way we have here in moscow where the mayor of gagnon a man or a practising protege of let me put in by the way he has a great chance to be reelected to why because instead of real opposition candidates he faced absolutely faceless candidates who was not at all dangerous for him and in that sense the election for mayor in moscow sums up the condition of democracy i

minister, if i may interrupt, vladimir putin represses opposition at home, we know that. in terms of his foreign policy, he has annexed crimea, the british prime minister, as you know, hasjust accused him and his government of signing off, authorising a chemical weapons attack on uk soil, for which sanctions have been imposed by europe and the united states. and yet, you describe him as a politician you admire most in the world today. that really doesn't seem to make much sense. has your party, the league, received money from russia? we know that marine le pen's party in france has received millions of dollars... zero. zero? zero. and yet, your party does have a co—operation agreement with united russia, putin's party. where does this leave the european union? in the past you have called it a gulag, you describe the euro as one of the biggest economic and social crimes ever committed against humanity. and yet, italy is a founding member of the european union, prides itself as one of the central players in the european union. are you proposing that italy should take itse
