a collective obligation to find all positions in this. a slightly more uncertain well at the top. and it also means we take responsibility for looking after all part of the aggregate agree, or we're open to a dialogue with the americans on how we can both should be corporate, even more closely than we do to ensure the american emissions are fulfilled. and yet president elect trump has not ruled that military action to achieve his aims. among e u countries, the reaction has been clear. the german chancellor said, all countries must respect national borders and sovereignty. this prince, if the principle of the in, via lability of border supplies to every country, whether to the east of us or to the west. and every state has to obey this principles, no matter if it's a small country or a very powerful state. it is a founding principle of international law. the u. s. has purchased land from other

countries before such as alaska, from russia in the 19th century, and indeed offered to buy green land from the danes before. 5 years ago, donald trump spoke of wanting to do the same fact, then nothing came of it and disappeared. died with the arrival of the bite ministration. now trump is packed and so to is this idea, dominic came houses, era colon. that's it from a diamond jordan. the news continues here on, i'll just say, are often will hotel, stay to send so much bye. for now. the the knowledge is with

the wilton to 1960 a route for several decades. this caused some opponents in the city. attracted international jets such as who could get from the ski slopes to the beach in no time on a 20 year lease from the co, a t royal family. and as old was a leading investor in the hotel industry in the region, i'm responsible for attracting thousands of tourists. the 11 mohammed chabot are worked with new solid and ticketing and still runs a travel agency near the commodore with the same name but the bottom the sides of

the door. and i'm like those of ain develop kenneth, my bacon. let's see. yeah. and my thought of a st. joseph in the days that you from the committed capital fund book, atlantic medical. i cannot accept the shot of the front of the full. so that happens that but the luxury baby was live style of scale. the gap between rich and poor that was white and you know, the time the international press used by root cause and perimeter of what was happening in the middle east. and one of the foreign correspondents who predicted the violence and 11 on was i t, v. 's jonathan den building. i 1st went to lebanon in 1972 as a young reporter. and i wanted to see whether something was happening that or not. i stayed in what was then relatively modest hotel, cold,

a comfortable hotel. the overall impression was some, some, some a society which was held together by a rob, a loose series of ropes. and it didn't take much for that to a shot to the 13th of april, 1975, mount to the official stones of the city. it would, didn't know, but of course wisdom, it was to turn out that he was the manager of the colorado. i heard so, so he drew me and he took out a piece of paper and a pen. and he drew from me the various sections of barret who controlled what, where you could go safely. i said the use of what we needed was a bass. the next time i went to pay rude. that is, if it created this fantastic hotel in the space of a few weeks,

the commodore had become about generously extensive the 1975 and 76. with the 5th is 2 years of the civil war with sectarian killings, massive destruction, and the division of a root into the christian east. and most of them west the full of the times, correspondent robot fisk decided to base himself permanently in a routine 1976. so when i came to barrett, i already knew the city, but i knew it before that when i went downtown here, i could not believe they the extraordinary destruction. i mean it takes, you can destroy a city very quickly, takes an awful long time to rebuild it. occasionally when to come a go with a piece stuff just to have lunch sometimes and meet salvage on this. but i didn't stay though. i didn't like it very much when i i thought it was another city hotel was extraordinary high price. it communications what the come on to how i don't

know where else, how it was communications. and even though it's a journalist has a story and he can't send it. he might as well go home. and you had 3 working talents machines, and they could get your locals along the uses bizell, stilted by using lines, intellects, machines from his private business and by roads, london, a man and cyprus. but as we pulled to the mom's group, he had to get hold of extra lines at any cost of this a lot, kind of, by the way, the develop, the site, joseph, and of the i'm of the follow up a lot more that i thought of buddied on my little thought vision about myself was the silver is that it can so huffing in you a full, the soft has a, a model that's a little on the chevy guest. i get them was the, was spread the militias to control of different neighborhoods. the challenge for

the coming due was to keep the hotel safe for its media guests. was that on one occasion? and we were down in the bar. and suddenly there was a fantastic noise of gum 5 from inside the hotel everyone, dr. dot. and i'm going to get, you know, everyone is on the floor and the, the for like that stopped silence. the only sound was of the parents, which had a peculiar position on the edge of the box. and the pirates talked quite freely while everyone else's son, which made you hopping. and when you're, when you're frightened on 20000 lebanese and palestinians were killed, a nearly 50000 doing did. amid the may have become a duel hotel, became the de facto ministry of information. lebanese photo gen list, rumsey hyde, it was that the coma though, during the, is really invasion pick going forward on the,

essentially i said i am available the because it's been uh. busy going uh, shipment, but with that and this i'm to pass along about on the last on sort of best possible getting this. what is that with the ship shipping? i love us the mo, at the bottom. i love to say that when i get the most of the people have here in the early days of the is really invasion of let them know you. system dissolves, don't pop large amounts of fuel food and cash. millions of dollars. he said enough for the hotel residents and stuff for the months to come know, so also lent journalist some on the a dan sofie less and they were able at 1st time when they went out to see the suffering of lebanese and confidence. and they really went off to the story very, very hard, but hard and harshly. and well, i think at that stage, so if it,

if it coming to hadn't been the, the is ready and vision would not have been so well reported. and you can find the color door and the ways of this and the people in it and the use of and that. so i think the, this read, he's had, at that stage in the eighty's, the worst press they've ever had before. or since the 70 day is really feature favorites was listed on the 21st of august, 1982 and the p. a lo pulled out of lebanon that will remediate presidential elections, and the leader of the right wing christian for lunches. but she had jeremiah, who had supported these really incursion, became the president elective level. but jeremiah never took office. he was assassinated 23 days late to the for

the following 3 days. the 16th 17th and 18th of september 1982 christian malicious, supported by israel took punch in america, the palestinian refugee camps of supper, and shut taylor when news of domestic reached the commodore hotel. on the 18th, dozens of local and foreign generalists headed straight to the southern bay route sub the robot. fisk was one of the 1st 2 in to the palestinian kens. i've never before have to walk on the carpet. so dead bodies and my life and the smell was a pulling and we went on the sunday, the 18th of september, messick has shopped the world on the international coverage and good these rates. and the story that was organization was the same day they arrested yusef. no, so i'm took into the base of this and george hotel the journalist became extremely angry. the french, typically french, organized a petition,

signed petition and took it down to these ready come on to demanding the use of the vacuum and finds the control region by region. the. the come, a dual had continued as an international news feed below. worked as a camera man for c, b, c, until these photos of life inside the hotel at that time between 1980 for a new development and the conflict upset that life even more kidnapping . coming to head so i think was beginning to lose that subtraction as a journalistic enterprise around the time of the mid 19 eighties around that time and the kid laughing i think this jen list to be kidnapped and they route that

would be the last to be released in 1991 several different groups carried out the hostage taking, but the most prominent was, is allow me could you had. and i wouldn't advise any foreigners to stay here at the moment while the situation is so that in november 1985, the special envoy to the british archbishop of canterbury, terry wait arrived in lebanon, and it goes to a hostage release is he stayed at the riviera hotel, but often went to the coma door to meet generalists on the 21st of november, fighting known as the battle of the flags between different left wing allied, lebanese munitions controlling west bay root reach. the commodore hotel terry weight was trapped inside with dozens of local and foreign generalists, including ramsey high. the cable was the softening. oh,

we caught us off in this as long as i can say that i have to report a lot where we left off without suffering from the company. that's why we are used to settings, but we'll do that with the vehicle as cost and send me the general maintenance when we saw that i just started following up with somebody who checked in to the coma. do opposite w t ends office is excited to be staying the now legendary hotel. i think that had a rather romantic view of what the come little would be like. um i to from other colleagues who'd been there and stayed there and was very aware that it was a famous hotel level,

the great job of the state. so when i got the i was surprised because it was nearly empty. the street fighting in fear of kidnap drove many following is out of west bay route to the christian east side. oh, out of 11 on to neighboring cypress. so i was told you must because you know, you'll be a target possibly for one of these kid met groups. so stay close to the office in the home or district, and stay close to the hotel, become little by april 1986 searching foreign nationals had been kidnapped in 11 the hotel. and the, the next room i was in was underground in a tiny, filthy, dirty prison. so basically, as a hostage, i was to remain a hostage for the next 5 and a quarter years, 9 months off to mccarthy's abduction. on the 17th of january, 1987 hostage negotiator terri weight was also kidnapped. he was last

seen on the bay root cornish, surrounded by goodman from the druids, progressive socialist party, who were acting as his body guards. him, i lost you a captive. it was held with the 2 americans, terry, and incidents on sutherland and laid out some penny on the dead. i'm literally at the level and they have been done with a lot of water items. beverly with their mobile up, we saw that i had the vitality study island but in 2002 the in the 1970s in the middle east in the 1st but to chop some of the decades hibbits in the back to 73 arrow. please wait. a

minute to.
