general assembly saturday he said kyung young has taken significant goodwill measures without a corresponding response from the trump administration shavar tansey has more from the u.n. in new york the north korean foreign minister picked up on a theme that we also heard from the trying to use in russian foreign ministers of the u.n. general assembly for the north koreans have shown their goodwill their commitment to denuclearization by dismantling that test site by ending the testing of nuclear weapons and missiles it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action either using sanctions or declaring an end to the korean war the north korean foreign minister pointing out that north korea has more reason to mistrust the u.s. than the other way around the u.s. soft rule is the only country in the world to actually use nuclear weapons against another country and has consistently threatened to annihilate north korea using nuclear weapons it was time for the u.s. now to act. digital books q sit down was going on with the idea that sanctions can

bring us on our knees is a pipe dream of people who are ignorant about us but the problem is that the continued sanctions are deepening our mistrust the reason behind the recent deadlock is because the us relies on chorus of measures which are lethal to trust building without any trust in the us will be no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances there is no way we'll unilaterally just on ourselves first but the u.s. position here at the u.n. general assembly was consistent might compare nikki haley both saying that maximum pressure still needs to be applied on north korea before new cries ation and only then would north korea see the rewards however donald trump was very upbeat here in new york saying a great deal of progress has been going on behind the scenes that will be revealed shortly that he's not worried about time frames so it will be interesting to see whether this latest appeal makes don't trump who after all is the most invested in this process in the white house think again about whether it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action mark fitzpatrick is the director of the nonproliferation

program at the international institute for strategic studies he says it would be easy for the u.s. to show they're acting in good faith. you north koreans have been insisting that the united states make a declaration of the of an end to the korean war this is not something that is really too hard for the united states to do they could do it while maintaining sanctions i think they should do it in exchange for a north korean real gesture what north korea has done to date has been without verification there is no legal connection between ending the war and the presence of u.s. forces there under a bilateral treaty with south korea and kim jong un himself said that ending that war would not mean the troops have to leave it's just that there is a second about political connection that the united states is worried about the north koreans think that they can overcome u.s. resistance by going into the soft spot that they see donald trump and he's so unpredictable and so inclined to withdraw u.s.

forces that they may have reason to think that they can make progress by dealing with him first. india and pakistan have used the un general assembly to accuse each other of backing terrorists the two foreign ministers were due to hold talks on the sidelines of the un event but india called off the meeting after the killing of a border guard in the disputed region of kashmir i vill pakistan time and again pakistan accuses india of human rights violations who can be a greater transgressor of human rights than a terrorist those who take innocent human lives in pursuit of war by other means are defenders of inhumane behavior not of human rights pakistan glorifies killers it refuses to see the blood of the innocent. to be sadly and move the line of conclude we secret solution of disputes through a serious and comprehensive dialogue that covers all issues of concerns we were to meet on the sidelines of this u.n.g.a. session to talk about all issues with india from india called off dialogue the time

for the modi government each time on flimsy grounds they preferred politics over peace. also at the un on saturday syria's foreign minister called on the us france and turkey to withdraw troops from his country he brand of them occupation forces while it while him says syria's government is close to winning the country seven year civil war and in his words defeating terrorism he said that syria is now ready for refugees who fled the fighting to return to their homes. has more from the u.n. headquarters in new york. it was a defiant. telling the international community basically that they have to come to terms with the fact that bashar assad has the upper hand and that is just a matter of time before the syrian army takes over the whole of syria now even if the syrians take over the territories they lost to the opposition they will have to deal with

a particular issue which is the presence of the turkish army of the northern part of the country french and american troops based in the eastern part of syria they are there to provide assistance to the kurdish militias operating there now for the syrian foreign minister what is that those troops have to pull out otherwise the syrian army will use force let's listen to what the syrian pharmacy had to say in. any foreign presence on syrian territory without the consent of the syrian government is illegal and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the un charter it's an assault on our sovereignty which undermines counterterrorism efforts and threatens regional peace and security we therefore consider any forces operating on syrian territory without any explicit request from the government including u.s. french and turkish forces occupying forces who will be dealt with accordingly they must withdraw immediately and without conditions. one of them describe the

opposition as terrorist describe the neighboring countries particularly turkey as a safe haven for terrorist groups moving into syria who dismiss calls for dialogue that would pave the ground for the opposition to share power with the government saying that bashar assad will stay in power and that anything that is not under the terms of the national sovereignty on the with the syrian people will be rejected. chris doyle is the director of the council for arab british understanding he says the syrian government's rhetoric is nothing new it was a ruse very well rehearsed playbook of all the syrian regime narratives that actually echoed exactly what he said last year you could have almost displayed that speech to the u.n. general assembly to be honest it was about you know the regime is winning it's about sober to that muscular and borders that all from forces must leave except for etc now i think if you're a syrian. living in hope that somehow there's going to be some sort of political

solution they're going to be some sort of exit from the crisis that they're in you're not going to find out any sort of plan coming out of this speech it was a blame everybody else but asked for what has happened is blaming the foreign forces i lost count the number of times that you mention the word terrorism you know the regime somehow is the innocent victim of everything that has happened you know to syria that is other people have used chemical weapons as others who have adopted terrorism for sure there are you know other parties within syria who have committed crimes who are not guiltless but to deny the primary responsibility of the syrian regime for what's happening going in syria of the last seven years still ahead on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump defends his supreme court nominee as a new f.b.i. investigation gets underway last turkey's president opens one of europe's biggest mosques in germany despite protests against his visits.
