Dude. 06:16.340 --> 06:20.690 The perception the is mobile was current that people were tend 06:20.690 --> 06:23.540 to believe that you are you that are for. 06:24.580 --> 06:28.730 Use informed for me center present the facts. So like I wanted 06:28.730 --> 06:31.070 to ask you about a of this uh. 06:31.760 --> 06:36.730 Russian positions that used to a polio playing founded call closely 06:36.760 --> 06:41.090 you'll um when you to the euro a hot hall or a world to mold 06:41.090 --> 06:43.860 use saying that russian positions.

Well first let me say it that contrary 07:03.000 --> 07:07.400 to some the belief that some I think russia is a wonderful country 07:07.400 --> 07:11.590 with wonderful people who have had great culture and history 07:11.970 --> 07:14.880 can occur a nina is one of my favorite books. I know that's only 07:14.880 --> 07:19.320 a small sliver but um I just and I have a had we had a wonderful 07:19.320 --> 07:22.750 visit to Moscow just a year and a half ago a company the secretary 07:22.750 --> 07:27.090 on um. We have a disagreement about to the United States in and 07:27.090 --> 07:30.880 rush I should say have a disagreement of about you crying out 07:30.880 --> 07:34.650 we work on a number of other issues together we were we're working 07:34.680 --> 07:38.860 right now on the P five plus one negotiations and that's the 07:38.860 --> 07:42.440 strength of a relationship is sometimes the ability to talk about 07:42.440 --> 07:45.220 issues where you disagree and also talk about issues where you 07:45.220 --> 07:48.470 are great and the secretaries a call of a mess to laugh about 07:48.470 --> 07:51.040 this morning is a good example of that they talked about the 07:51.040 --> 07:54.880 P five plus one negotiations about where we're working closely 07:54.880 --> 07:58.610 in lockstep with russia uh to prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear 07:58.610 --> 08:02.070 weapon but they also talked about ukraine and our concerns about 08:02.340 --> 08:06.840 a report sand and and that not just reports but statements by 08:06.840 --> 08:11.630 art a colleagues that delis ee and NATO about violations of the 08:11.630 --> 08:16.960 men's protocol. So I'm fully aware that a guy that propaganda 08:16.960 --> 08:22.260 machine um at attacks against me an increase about one that the 08:22.300 --> 08:25.940 uh a circumstances and that the situation on the ground in ukraine 08:25.940 --> 08:29.390 became more challenging up I can look at the news reports and 08:29.390 --> 08:33.030 look at history and know that and I know that I'm out there of 08:33.030 --> 08:35.560 representing United States government and of what our position 08:35.560 --> 08:40.010 and what our views are um but the I think there's a misunderstanding 08:40.010 --> 08:42.890 of a or sometimes a um. 08:43.600 --> 08:48.100 It didn't categorizing or quantify ain't. I'd disagreement about 08:48.100 --> 08:51.910 the position of the United States with dave made a misunderstanding 08:52.170 --> 08:55.170 on my part of what our position as are what the situation as 08:55.170 --> 08:57.240 the to work are totally different things. 08:58.990 --> 09:02.410 Have I read present Bhutan's recent spate. I've certainly seen 09:02.410 --> 09:05.390 the news reports I had not yet read the speech go ahead. 09:10.670 --> 09:15.660 Yeah. Gave them to the burning of the state department. Yes it's 09:15.660 --> 09:19.170 a different things answering the questions. I am with our team 09:19.230 --> 09:20.040 in which japan. 09:20.630 --> 09:23.570 And let's take is that you have no independent confirmation of 09:23.570 --> 09:26.870 russian troops have crossing ukrainian border. I understand that 09:26.960 --> 09:29.390 that general breed law fits is made up of the you have that. 09:29.960 --> 09:33.890 Confirmation now from coming from the do less. Well I don't have 09:33.890 --> 09:36.670 any new information from the United States government as you 09:36.670 --> 09:40.510 know the case to follett this closely that always see eye as 09:40.510 --> 09:43.570 well as NATO are very clue closely watching. What's happening 09:43.570 --> 09:46.630 on the ground we work closely with them. We have no reason to 09:46.630 --> 09:50.390 question of their information. I don't have anything new from 09:50.390 --> 09:53.570 the United States government that often times they're other organisations 09:53.570 --> 09:56.850 that more opted in information that we do I lisa and a share 09:56.850 --> 10:00.740 publicly I should say is is there a need a knee a knee 40 cheney 10:00.770 --> 10:03.350 guinea for those anything that the public can see that could 10:03.350 --> 10:07.390 come from back. Well but NATO and the oh I see have both spoken 10:07.390 --> 10:10.570 to that send general breed love of certainly would not speak 10:10.600 --> 10:15.770 to but concerns about the actions of a of russian back separatist. 10:15.770 --> 10:18.360 If there was into add back up for that and NATO. 10:19.250 --> 10:23.370 You know infamy in nothing nothing to to show the public would 10:23.370 --> 10:26.940 backs that up. Well oftentimes there's information that we have 10:26.940 --> 10:30.540 independently or information that we have their range of sources 10:30.810 --> 10:34.120 about that out we tried to make available to the public as soon 10:34.120 --> 10:37.590 as we we can and we've done that over. The course of that situation 10:37.590 --> 10:41.490 in ukraine on several occasions. But I NATO has on many occasions 10:41.490 --> 10:44.620 made information of el golan. I'd certainly played to ban given 10:44.620 --> 10:47.810 that they had been made all of the comments up going on the front. 10:49.940 --> 10:53.190 Like human and is seven Grover come with your own use one of 10:53.220 --> 10:56.560 the images of a tend to relieve that you are extremely popular 10:56.590 --> 10:57.670 in europe um. 10:58.410 --> 11:00.100 Poppy leann the same what is it. 11:02.300 --> 11:04.470 The european board that they um. 11:05.270 --> 11:09.000 Following up on this uh you mentioned briefly mentioned the sanctions 11:09.000 --> 11:11.210 notice of a a german chancellor Angela Merkel. 11:11.840 --> 11:16.650 I'm a a set that use sanctions are now being planned right now 11:16.720 --> 11:21.300 and what is your position on to us and um what denies stays be 11:21.390 --> 11:24.660 of ready I'm to grow loan. If the europeans. 11:25.280 --> 11:27.050 Uh don't want to tell you. 11:27.680 --> 11:30.290 And thank you for that is the really important question actually 11:30.290 --> 11:33.450 because there's been some bad misunderstanding of this a little 11:33.450 --> 11:37.320 but um we have already put in place of range of executive orders 11:37.320 --> 11:40.510 that allow us to add new people in new entities to the sanctions 11:40.510 --> 11:44.510 less the same is true in europe not as the la's they call it 11:44.510 --> 11:48.360 slightly something different but it's similar there. We're continuing 11:48.360 --> 11:52.380 to discuss right. Now uh with europe. Our european counterparts 11:52.410 --> 11:58.620 um ah or a way there we would join only impose on any additional actions. 11:58.660 --> 12:02.020 Obviously it's the belief that not just the United States. 12:02.020 --> 12:06.670 But the easier that the preference but certainly before I'm russia 12:06.700 --> 12:09.760 and the russian back separatist to abide by the men's protocols 12:09.760 --> 12:14.500 to take steps but you know the steps have but releasing prisoners 12:14.700 --> 12:19.290 I'm moving back I'm from have from new cream and moving back 12:19.290 --> 12:23.690 from dead border an etc um we that's our preference it they take 12:23.690 --> 12:27.810 those steps but it out in the fact is it the a it city. 12:27.930 --> 12:32.480 It's possible to at entities and people and names a to the existing 12:32.480 --> 12:36.230 lots on that's my understanding of what was meant out by that 12:36.520 --> 12:40.690 as you know we have at times we've been go back a working ended 12:40.720 --> 12:44.310 implementing putting out sanctions in lockstep with E it. 12:44.310 --> 12:47.920 They haven't been exact. Exactly the same um and that's been 12:47.920 --> 12:50.280 the case even though they'd been very complementary said there 12:50.280 --> 12:54.220 certain steps that could be taken um on on either side. But we're 12:54.220 --> 12:56.290 still in discussions about that at this point in time. 12:56.940 --> 12:57.780 I'm gonna add. 12:58.970 --> 12:59.340 All right. 13:01.640 --> 13:03.690 There you often Hong rates not. 13:04.270 --> 13:07.390 From people skating until and unless commuter tame nice to me 13:07.390 --> 13:10.790 to to and I'm a say that and I you um won the mall popular your 13:10.790 --> 13:11.460 tiny supply. 13:14.220 --> 13:19.190 You. As you mentioned nutty and opposes all bomb much Hasta. 13:20.000 --> 13:20.520 Wrapped up. 13:21.160 --> 13:22.710 These in these eight to china the food. 13:23.240 --> 13:27.140 And though to peace in dud talk and eat the to more than what 13:27.140 --> 13:31.680 the tell way walsaw calman on bass and make sure I with that 13:31.720 --> 13:35.170 and I appreciate your question and president she is you know 13:35.200 --> 13:38.310 they did a joint press conference. I'm with able spoke about 13:38.630 --> 13:41.470 the visit which was a very successful those that and I think 13:41.700 --> 13:45.160 of the feeling the was that was very successful from both sides. 13:45.190 --> 13:48.380 I'm we also recently in a gets your question but I thought I'd 13:48.380 --> 13:52.640 mention this to a hosted on state council young tee shirt and 13:52.670 --> 13:56.420 a boston just a couple weeks ago and I had the pleasure of a 13:56.420 --> 14:00.380 participating in those meetings on and that was a very productive 14:00.410 --> 14:03.850 a conversation and discussion and I think the conversations between 14:04.150 --> 14:07.890 the secretary in the state councilor a helpful lock in some of 14:07.890 --> 14:11.500 the um announcements that were made by the two presidents over 14:11.500 --> 14:15.710 the last 24 hours out but just to touch on a couple of points 14:15.710 --> 14:18.330 and then I but to talk a little bit about the climate piece cuz. 14:18.330 --> 14:21.450 I think that's a particularly important announcement that was 14:21.450 --> 14:26.670 made um that the meetings resulted in not only a date china us 14:26.670 --> 14:29.890 treaded joint announcement on climate change. But also an agreement 14:29.890 --> 14:34.640 on the expansion of I add the I T's a which we feel as a very important. 14:34.670 --> 14:39.910 I'm negotiation that can now proceed from all sides on the economic front. 14:40.230 --> 14:43.290 I as well as an agreement on military to military confidence 14:43.290 --> 14:46.540 building mechanism is to increase transparency and predictability 14:46.820 --> 14:50.270 and to reduce risk of an plans and counters now I of course have 14:50.270 --> 14:53.180 to say that it does it mean that we agree with china on every 14:53.180 --> 14:56.450 issue and I think the leaders of china would say that to and 14:56.560 --> 15:00.200 there was a discussion about areas where we've had concerns um 15:00.440 --> 15:03.260 whether that's human rights issues which come up in any discussion 15:03.260 --> 15:06.630 and a range of other topics but let me talk a little bit about 15:06.630 --> 15:09.280 that and that one last thing to note there was also an agreement 15:09.310 --> 15:13.240 on on risks as separate were super cold these that requirements 15:13.240 --> 15:16.220 and the secretary actually was able to um. 15:16.950 --> 15:20.390 Two one handed the first 10 year validity visas to grip of chinese 15:20.390 --> 15:23.490 business people and five your validity visas to students at the 15:23.490 --> 15:27.200 us embassy in a beijing much was really I think I have a great 15:27.200 --> 15:31.450 of that's um but on the climate front a add the two leaders agile 15:31.450 --> 15:35.520 only announced the two countries' respective post one 20 crimen 15:35.520 --> 15:39.460 tar gets on now wisest important that's important because the 15:39.460 --> 15:42.800 United States and china are the world's two biggest economies 15:42.830 --> 15:46.170 to biggest and matters of Carmen pollution a year and a half ago. 15:46.170 --> 15:49.870 We started the climate working group a week continued that discussion over. 15:49.870 --> 15:53.050 The course of the last I your and a half of the focus of the 15:53.050 --> 15:56.370 launch the secretary had in boston was on this issue um they 15:56.370 --> 15:59.840 put in place they ambitious targets odd that we believe will 16:00.060 --> 16:05.080 buys starve as I'm kind of that a leading I'm a leading message 16:05.080 --> 16:08.030 to many other global economy is a sweet lead-up to debt Paris 16:08.030 --> 16:11.940 negotiations by next year stay out of the successful trip the 16:11.940 --> 16:14.460 secretary was just their couple days ago for the ministerial 16:14.460 --> 16:17.910 level meetings on a night ended a just concluded yesterday but 16:17.990 --> 16:18.360 go ahead. 16:20.360 --> 16:24.240 I'm also from china I won't have them loose tried anew separates 16:24.710 --> 16:29.780 um during the was it to china Pres obama of on said uh he has 16:29.780 --> 16:33.910 of which and into to explain chase today to a shared strategy 16:34.100 --> 16:35.690 to tendency leaders but. 16:36.210 --> 16:40.400 One do you explain quite a lot of times sued chinese counterparts. 16:40.400 --> 16:42.790 But why I'm meaty always say. 16:43.790 --> 16:45.400 You have an not eight you know. 16:46.340 --> 16:50.050 Very sound as subtle was are common some that thinking sure about 16:50.050 --> 16:53.000 what they shape the question. I will say to the secretary also 16:53.000 --> 16:57.120 has been talking quite a bit about our time our ish every balance 16:57.150 --> 17:01.400 and what it means and I'll why it's so important um you know 17:01.400 --> 17:04.770 we all a and money texans of the good about it really tinge of 17:04.770 --> 17:07.120 the china just for second because I think the secretary give 17:07.120 --> 17:10.480 a speech at about a week ago where he talked about tests and 17:10.510 --> 17:13.700 he talked about. The fact that you know 10 years ago we were 17:13.700 --> 17:16.640 working together on bilateral issues. Now we're working together 17:16.640 --> 17:19.380 on a number of global issues whether it's Connolly climate change 17:19.380 --> 17:23.680 whether it's a bowl a or I sell um. The fact is there are of 17:23.680 --> 17:28.080 range of a crises in the world at any given moment in time and 17:28.280 --> 17:32.400 we can work with and we work with um a range of countries russia 17:32.440 --> 17:35.930 china either members of the the that permit un security council 17:35.930 --> 17:39.630 members on those issues but they is every balance as a doubt 17:39.880 --> 17:43.840 I'm a focus on our relationship in the intestine and our relationship 17:43.930 --> 17:48.360 for the future because we know that our economic uh and I are 17:48.360 --> 17:52.410 economic the goals are tied our security goals are tied and we 17:52.410 --> 17:56.520 see great opportunity in asia a for the United States uh not 17:56.520 --> 18:00.450 just china certainly japan certainly south korea. I don't wanna 18:00.450 --> 18:03.870 nellist any countries. But the all of a show as the focus of 18:03.870 --> 18:07.970 or injure read balance and the reason we explain that so frequently 18:07.970 --> 18:11.050 it's because sometimes there's a view it that when we're focused 18:11.050 --> 18:14.410 on a crisis in a world like I saw taking on the threat that I 18:14.410 --> 18:17.230 suppose is that the terrorist organization. We're taking our 18:17.270 --> 18:20.340 eyes off the ball of our strategic objectives like beige every 18:20.340 --> 18:23.830 balance and that and cracked we can doable flea can walk and 18:23.830 --> 18:27.770 chew gum at the same time and we have remains focused on asia. 18:27.770 --> 18:31.090 Rebounds us since the beginning of this president's administration. 18:31.850 --> 18:32.790 Up go. Ahead. 18:35.360 --> 18:39.420 Them away from sex major a strident of what back to the climate 18:39.420 --> 18:42.470 announcement that given the significance of that announcement. 18:43.360 --> 18:47.780 Would uh the believe Mac will be using the G 22 forks to trotting 18:47.780 --> 18:51.480 carriage uh the friends and allies including striker to increase 18:51.480 --> 18:55.410 the commitments on cutting emissions and secondly quick you comment 18:55.450 --> 18:58.950 on the surprise ravel of russian warships off the coast the strike 18:58.950 --> 19:00.500 here is the G to ricky talks begin. 19:01.180 --> 19:05.590 I'm sure we'll let me take the first question. I'm clininc um 19:05.620 --> 19:07.480 and our pursuit of a me. 19:08.300 --> 19:13.990 A a a cheapo bull. But um but um but challenging targets on it's 19:13.990 --> 19:17.680 something that the secretary raises in nearly every meeting and 19:17.680 --> 19:21.180 conversation II hats and president United States is indicated 19:21.180 --> 19:25.660 that uh this is also a a big priority of this. Obviously the 19:25.660 --> 19:30.020 G 20 abdel be. It's focused is you know on a economic issues 19:30.020 --> 19:33.210 and kind of power cord many what the global economy climate our 19:33.210 --> 19:36.680 view is part of that I'm I'm not sing 's early the agenda out 19:36.680 --> 19:39.890 but in general the broad umbrella at but I am certain that in 19:39.890 --> 19:44.380 bilateral meetings that the issue of climate a lesbian look to 19:44.380 --> 19:48.430 it the Paris negotiations um that in a year from now will be 19:48.430 --> 19:53.080 a part of the agenda I in terms of reports about um about russian 19:53.080 --> 19:56.470 warships off that they're riding in australia. I don't have any 19:56.470 --> 19:59.120 confirmation of that Simon have any specific comment on. 19:59.910 --> 20:04.210 A Elliott hello. She's. 20:05.540 --> 20:09.590 Extend.

What your response about was and copy us government 20:34.890 --> 20:36.540 a him to close remarks thinking. 20:37.940 --> 20:41.850 Share well um you know the issue was raised by it near times 20:41.850 --> 20:44.760 reporter because the new york times as been impacted by the says 20:44.760 --> 20:49.990 have other a outlets in the United States. I'm mid this is an 20:49.990 --> 20:53.040 issue and I referenced in and response said this to moments question 20:53.040 --> 20:57.240 on the front where we have disagreements on obviously media freedoms 20:57.280 --> 21:01.510 the ability for um reporters and outlets whether they're from 21:01.510 --> 21:04.980 the United States or other countries too about work and function 21:05.010 --> 21:08.440 in foreign countries is something we think is vitally important 21:08.500 --> 21:13.450 that acts out we express that privately uh. We express the publicly 21:13.450 --> 21:16.610 in terms of our views about media being able to operate freely. 21:16.840 --> 21:21.010 We've raise some of these cases I as well died during conversations. 21:21.010 --> 21:24.890 But the chinese out over. The course said that last year or so 21:24.890 --> 21:28.720 as a says Pinot at a vital issue um and I think you know obviously 21:28.720 --> 21:31.980 we have a disagreement on the but it doesn't mean that we expected 21:31.980 --> 21:34.500 that every disagreement would be addressed at the conclusion 21:34.500 --> 21:37.810 of this I add the set of meetings over. The course the past couple days. 21:37.810 --> 21:38.820 Of course go ahead. 21:40.960 --> 21:43.860 The show that's what the ship's didn't true.

I've doesn't 22:09.700 --> 22:13.240 main and um that there are debates about issue. That's issues. 22:13.240 --> 22:15.870 That's a wonderful thing about democracy in United States. 22:16.020 --> 22:19.180 But there has been cooperation on foreign policy issues and we 22:19.210 --> 22:22.940 certainly hope and expect that will continue up and that relates 22:22.940 --> 22:26.730 to our security relationship with egypt other democrats in their 22:26.730 --> 22:29.880 republican to feel that that is vitally important.

Iffy means of date you believe 31:55.680 --> 31:58.710 that did the petition of special but the sent to foremost cough 31:58.710 --> 32:03.650 policy is less IPO can now warrick beef you Mets the team east 32:03.680 --> 32:05.240 or take a bold than the best there. 32:05.800 --> 32:06.380 They use. 32:07.790 --> 32:10.220 You're you're journalist colleague sarah Arch cycling and the 32:10.220 --> 32:14.070 fun and around do that can understand are question ah I will 32:14.070 --> 32:18.670 say that um you know he is somebody to came from a that extensive 32:18.670 --> 32:23.130 an impressive a experience um he's going to be applying its as 32:23.130 --> 32:26.760 just recently the a bastard that south korea applying those skills 32:26.760 --> 32:30.900 to five his positions that certainly doesn't change are the level 32:30.900 --> 32:35.120 of the importance we place on on either of these positions a 32:35.120 --> 32:38.490 just means that he's a very capable or a someone with at grade 32:38.490 --> 32:41.610 level of experience and I think that speaks to how much importance 32:41.610 --> 32:44.690 we we place in these positions applied in the middle. 32:47.480 --> 32:50.040 People. A month from a Z a. 32:50.550 --> 32:55.380 Very you know what exactly is the end game but the obama administration 32:55.380 --> 33:00.740 with regard to iran is it just a nuclear agreement or or is there 33:00.740 --> 33:04.200 perhaps some filled that iran could go to plague the rolled that 33:04.200 --> 33:08.340 he'd used to play before jenna cover and the advent of the Islamic 33:08.340 --> 33:09.500 republic in the reuse. 33:10.060 --> 33:11.080 From a do one more. 33:11.600 --> 33:15.790 When the Instagram and john McCain went to egypt over a year ago. 33:16.370 --> 33:18.730 They describe what it up and there is a coup. 33:20.030 --> 33:24.980 Now that you have a a republican dominated congress. IE is the 33:25.090 --> 33:28.610 only see a all that the administration the on the egypt like 33:28.640 --> 33:32.550 me to change either.

I think it's 33:39.830 --> 33:44.610 important to note that we have that than abiding by a are legal restrictions. 33:44.650 --> 33:48.420 I even regardless of the fact that week didn't we made a determination 33:48.420 --> 33:53.210 we were not going to a place a label that sell legal restrictions 33:53.240 --> 33:56.890 the verde put in place and that is evidence by the end the funding 33:56.890 --> 34:00.710 that we have held back at times in order to make certain certifications 34:01.030 --> 34:05.160 of so I don't anticipate a change in that obviously um you can 34:05.160 --> 34:08.040 always predicts but Con chris made do but that's certainly we 34:08.040 --> 34:12.180 all valley. Oh I'm democrats republicans the administration congress 34:12.440 --> 34:15.850 of the security relationship. We have with egypt and I think 34:15.850 --> 34:19.460 there are from shared concerns about about progress dora maar 34:19.460 --> 34:23.550 progress that needs to be made as a really relates to other reforms 34:23.870 --> 34:28.670 I I'm on a raw and um are are objective are focused we of wonders 34:28.670 --> 34:32.370 on is on the nuclear negotiations buys.

Maybe netted States abide by this 37:33.690 --> 37:36.750 one the once pretty council puts in place sanctions the United 37:36.750 --> 37:40.460 States as a member country follow suit and puts in place our 37:40.460 --> 37:43.950 own sanctions um and that's certainly is what happens here a 37:43.950 --> 37:48.340 about we view it and believed a and agreed with the notion that 37:48.340 --> 37:53.040 there were efforts to for these I'm an active that actions I 37:53.040 --> 37:57.910 should say to towards um the implementation of the economic reform 37:57.910 --> 38:01.560 intended the achieving a achieving an of that affected governance 38:01.560 --> 38:05.070 and securing a more i've represented future for Yemen and that's 38:05.070 --> 38:08.610 why we supported the sanctions you're a ron question again there 38:08.610 --> 38:09.430 was a. 38:10.400 --> 38:14.500 In. So I appreciate this and this is our mistake met anyone else 38:14.500 --> 38:17.900 says as often happens a secretary kerry his schedule changes 38:17.930 --> 38:21.110 a bit from time to time I can I can tell you from traveling with 38:21.110 --> 38:25.410 him quite a bed he's no longer going to be uea um we will have 38:25.440 --> 38:30.870 um of course representatives there um and attending the conference 38:30.910 --> 38:33.550 and he's going to amman and then in terms of other travel. 38:33.550 --> 38:35.100 I don't have any update on that quite yet. 38:35.630 --> 38:36.160 He he 38:38.210 --> 38:41.390 Well he just sat ed couple days of meetings with foreign ministers 38:41.390 --> 38:45.520 or a fan baroness Ashton.
