going to the moon. headline stories donald trump pushes for reform of the united nations saying the world body has not reached its full potential. in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement . also at this hour the u.k. media is abuzz with speculation over the london bombing suspects c.c.t.v. footage emerges theory to show also. more than eighty. third consecutive night of violence in the u.s.

city of st louis. least officer was fined guilty of murdering. across the world around the clock is r t international my names you know neal good to have your company this hour the u.s. president has made his first speech on the u.n. where he spoke about reforming the international body double trump proposed changes to the u.n. structure something he's long been in favor of. in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more

than doubled since two thousand we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. in your account joins me now live to explain trump's reform proposal some euro. yes well in maiden speech to the u.n. general assembly it was dedicated to u.n. reform which he's been calling for for a long time and he highlighted bureaucracy as the reason why the u.n. has been unsuccessful thus far nikki haley ambassador to the u.n. also spoke she supports the idea of spending cuts and in fact she was the driving force between behind the six hundred million dollar cut to u.n. peacekeeping efforts this year. donald trump has

a businessman for seeing potential and he sees great potential not just in this reform movement but in the united nations itself. yes well this is a very interesting remark because a trump has never been happy with the body and he has previously lambasted the u.n. ineffectiveness. the united nations is not a friend of democracy it's not a friend or freedom it's not a friend even to the united states of america united states is one of one hundred ninety three countries in the u.s. pays for twenty two percent of the budget we need the member states to come together to eliminate integration sheehan. and to ensure that no one nation shoulders a disproportionate share of the bird militarily or financially the united nations is a wonderful. measure of the u.s.

and such tremendous potential that we got to do it with you showing we don't because it's a waste right. now trump has indeed criticized the u.n. spend. and bureaucracy but also said that the u.n. is changing under new secretary general antonio terra's. it's interesting because in that it's interesting this particular secretary general earlier in june stated that the proposal of the budget that was presented to the congress would create an unsolvable problem to the management of the u.n. so the u.n. is clearly set to change but will it work out with less funding that's the question we have without is one of them is there we wait the response of you know nations on president speech from europe can live from the american capital funk well the american president is expected to speak at the u.n.

general assembly. tomorrow ahead of washington requested a meeting with russia's top diplomat we've got all the details of those talks in a few moments. the u.k. media being left some more speculating after the arrest of a second suspect in the london underground explosion there's looking no one officially about the two individuals being questioned london's mayor. confirming police have yet to hand out any charges. there have been two arrests significant progress for the police to continue their investigations are just at the site with the room where the people used to live with the rest of aid but you'd appreciate if you the suspects know charles she's yes despite a lot of the official information is yet to be confirmed we have certainly seen the press here in the u.k. really be abuzz with alleged details on potential suspects now certainly they've

been focusing their attention on two men specifically one of them an unnamed eighteen year old man said to have been for all of iraqi origin the media here in the u.k. have been reporting that this is a young man that had allegedly arrived to the u.k. when he was fifteen years old following the death of both of his parents back in iraq now they've been reporting that he was arrested on friday evening near the port of dover and they're claiming that he is according to them the key suspect in this whole terror related latest incident in the u.k. because they've been circulating images captured by c.c.t.v. cameras where a young man can be seen carrying little bag which is a grocery store here and this is the exact same bag that was captured in images inside the carriage of where this homemade device had partially detonated on friday morning and the second young man is actually being named a second alleged suspect according to the media they are describing him as twenty

one year old for rukh and according to them he was arrested on saturday evening outside chicken shop in west london now the media here have said that they've tracked down what they're saying is his facebook page that says that he is from damascus syria that this was a person who had studied english in london and worked at a events company here in the british capital and they have been saying that in the facebook page you can see that he lived somewhere near heathrow airport and that he had arrived in europe via egypt back in twenty third. there's also been lots of attention given to the foster care couple that are reportedly were having these two men in foster care at certain periods throughout their presence in the u.k. and there are lots of reports about the neighbors describing them as a beautiful couple they're reported to be seventy one years old they are said to have fostered hundreds of children including migrants over a period of over thirty years there are reported to have been honored by the queen

for their services in terms of helping children back in two thousand and nine and according to media reports here the neighbors are saying their god it there has been a some social media support page created for them so certainly lots of attention given to the personalities involved in this latest terror incident but more information get to come in terms of official statements as this investigation continues ok let's delve a little bit further into this course live to some companies are women bandits in the u.k. you very welcome program what do you make of all the speculation and that's really what it is at this stage isn't it over the suspects identities. helpful is about this stage in the investigation. of course our condolences go out to the families and the victims of such an effect but i do believe that the time the hysteria that is building up around pass and screen does not contribute to

a kind of unified society obviously all of us don't want to see such acts taking place inside the underground but we have to understand that as a consequence even the people who are perhaps described as come from the background coming from different parts of the world one of the consequences we live in a world which is rich with conflict the one of the impacts of perhaps britain's involvement in wars has been the situation in which they have been targeted for. muslims or the muslim community that has been here for hundreds of years to face the consequences of a racist back class which is already been taking place for the last twenty years and we would like to have balanced reporting on this and not the kind of moral panic that seems to be taking place in season parts of the media if anyone involved in the attack does turn out to be a refugee that came to the country how do you think the public is going to react.

well i think it's a tragedy if that is the case but i do believe that across europe there's been an attempt to remove asylum insecurity for people that desperately sleeting here and i think it's important we don't feel in feed into a kind of racist narrative that says that we look at the crimes of refugees as being different from any other person that committed a crime regardless of their race their religion then it's the crime itself that needs to be condemned not necessarily the whole group of people who are seeking asylum after all einstein was a refugee from nazi germany i don't believe that you would have a breakdown of given people sanctuary based on the behavior of people that do come and see it and seek refuge much more really to give people the psychiatric support and the consequent around them which would lead them to fully integrating into the society their problems with people integrate into society because of the way they're treated when they come to this country well that is the point isn't how to

better integrate people like and prevent a backlash that we have seen in the past against the innocent migrants and muslims indeed that's going to be a big issue. yes it is going to be because you have nothing one of the problems that we face and saw this country is that people who are refugees or muslim are being treated as second class citizens and as a consequence it can feed into a sense of alienation and desperation in terms of not feeling part of the society i think the most effective way of making people feel that they're integrated in it's their society and they want to live in the society this mixed is to have it open democratic and that we give sanctuary and we treat people with respect i think if you give people respect the majority of people give respect but to you and i think it's important we hold on to those values and don't allow them to be eroded ok thanks very much for sharing your thoughts on the issue this hour women bennett on the racism one here speaking to us from the u.k.

. now moving across the atlantic there's been a third consecutive night of violence in the u.s. city of st louis after a former police officer was acquitted of murdering a black man some of these demonstrations started as a peaceful march but the send it into rioting with property damaged and police officers assaulted more than eighty arrests were made was i. was. by nightfall the marches had descended into chaos protestors smushed windows through trash cans at officers there were also reports that police were attacked with on no one chemicals on friday demonstrators vandalized them or so i'm going the city's been swelling since a judge cleared former officer jason stokley of killing unfunny lamar smith in

twenty eleven. well we don't want or we don't want or don't want anybody to order. a lot of anger there's a lot of frustration and there's a lot of people felt that he was we're not being heard and it's certainly important that they call the chinese the narrative of violence is never justified on the any circumstances even though people may say that they was. in fact in this case here but personally i don't think is acceptable particularly when you say it you're harming your very own community. that's been undermined from

. what happened when american russia's top diplomats met we've got the answer after this. the blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you to be gossiping publicly. i tell you. like. these are the hawks that we are the ones. here's what people have been saying about redacted in.

the only show i go out of my way to. really pack them. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of. jack tonight president of the world bank hey. seriously send us an e-mail. a quarter of an hour into the program welcome back rochelle america's top diplomats have met and washington's request for the first time since relations plunged to what's been described as an historic post cold war low or new york correspondent killam up and has more on what's rough and rex tillerson discussed during the conversation. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson held

a meeting on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly now the meeting was initiated by the american side the issues discussed specifically were syria and ukraine in syria there are accusations being leveled by the united states that u.s. backed rebel forces were directly attacked by russia now russia says that these rebel forces were not attacked that rather it was only ice still forces that were attacked but the area in question the issue is the city of darryl's or it's important to know that this is taking place as there have been breakthroughs in the negotiations in russia iran and turkey have actually reached a breakthrough a document has been released and deescalation zones are actually being a stablished in the country and the northwestern regions of syria in the province and elsewhere we're actually starting to see breakthroughs in deescalation zones in the country be a stablished as a result of the negotiations that are taking place in kazakstan between the three

parties now it's also important to note that another issue that was discussed was the issue of ukraine and the lab rob and rex tillerson discussed implementing the minsk agreement for peace and deescalation of tensions in ukraine there's been ongoing fighting in ukraine in the east in the donbass region and the us secretary of state and the russian foreign minister did discuss the possibility of implementing the agreement and making sure there were no tension. well middle east expert on the risk thinks the trumpet administration still wants to improve ties between russia and the u.s. the split all the pressure. with develop an suv see original syria reaching a sensitive phase particularly in that eastern region the close of the border with iraq i think that the americans thought that it was very important to focus on the fact that there should be no kind of collisions whatsoever i think it also points out to the facts which is an important issue to trumpet ministration this

spike the congressional pressures that you know despite the presence of anti russian voices in the administration such as licky halley the us about sort of to your way to mr trump doesn't appear to have given up but it seems that misty on his efforts to improve the toys between the u.s. and russia although how much you'll be successful is something which is open for debate as well as well as the sideline talks between russia and the us focused at the un general assembly this week is likely to be on the korean peninsula and washington's hinting that it's pretty much exhausted every diplomatic possibility. reports. really sort of sounds like the military option is sort of becoming the frontrunner for them we've had the american ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley saying that she feels that the united nations security council has really already done all that they can when it comes to north korea and that she's really already prepared to hand off the crisis to the u.s.

secretary of defense adding that in that situation north korea would be quote destroyed and that's something we have coming from a diplomat i said yesterday i'm perfectly happy kicking this over to general mattis because he has plenty of military options if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way north korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that none of us want war so there we have haley saying she's happy to hand it over to mattis and not long ago we had he himself describing briefly what would sort of look like what a military option with north korea would look like and very words saying that the response would be both effective and overwhelming any threat to the united states george territories including. or our allies will be met with a massive military response a responsible. and overwhelming we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country namely north korea but as i said we have many options to do show and in

the same light many remember all of the comments that we've had from trump himself fire and fury and whatnot and amid those threats that we've heard coming from the president he's repeated a number of times that talking with north korea just isn't going to be effective not really diplomatic words that we have coming from the president himself and on sunday trump also referred to the north korean leader as rocket man in a tweet comments that are unlikely to go without a response and it's worth noting that while some in the trumpet ministration are still hopeful for a diplomatic solution calling for it it does seem that the focus has sort of shifted from that as sort of like an afterthought and going more towards the looming military option. co-founder of the national come pain to end the korean war thinks that north korea is ready for a diplomatic solution but that's not something washington has so far presented to pyongyang it will not negotiate the nuclear weapons unless the u.s.

ends its hostile parlak policies toward the d.p. r. k. so consequently you've got two sides in a tug of war and that we're left with very little option other than considering fire and fury and in reality that shows not only a lack of creativity but arguably violates our commitments under international law as well the idea that in a tug of war you have to let go of one end of the rope you have to have the courage to do that and then use creative aspects of conflict resolution to get the job done . joint military drills between russia and bell are roosts are well underway scores are appealing as helicopters tanks on ships are involved in acting defensive maneuvers the first stage of the drills simulated country

direct threats to better routes and repelling foreign fighters.

well the drills which officially end on wednesday have led some western officials to express concern that what they see is a direct threat to european security reporting in my of. but you can see right now because it's the day of the joint russian bellerose military exercise this process that's been. played really might take place at several like. the joint exercises between russia and the we haven't signed into invasion of europe so far as i can tell that's concerts or media expectations because the drills very sitting huge media attention long before they even start to western the fishless have been a little more resolved in that but just a little bit they're about to do an exercise in russia. that's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern is they're not going to leave and that's you know that's not paranoia that's active

concern among among the countries the day to come but i may be lucky if you have to find suggests that the total if only thirteen thousand troops are going to participate and that's from both sides and the majority of them are compelled by the way but in the eyes of what he thinks and some european capitals the numbers could be ten or even twenty times higher something must go says it's fine to quote stone the shing. but let's now see what we've got here. would be n.p.t. modernised t. seventy two nothing new actually but these are the working horses of the russian army. russia's president vladimir putin arrived in the leningrad region to observe the exercises earlier the country's defense minister sergei showed who was also there they hailed the drills as being quote of the highest up. well as we mentioned

earlier the exercises have seen some sensationalist media reporting some. even suggest that there are a prelude to the invasion of eastern europe where we travel to a loved near the russian border to find out what locals there are thinking about the likelihood of moscow invading. tomorrow i think this is all a generic nothing will happen i know that it's. sort of pretty seriously of course everything will be all keep these russian drills are actually an answer to need to drill in the baltics. no no everything's fine there's no negative information representatives are invited to russian so all the dangers of being exaggerated we've got a real double standard here russia and belarus are allies they are carrying out these exercises they're very transparent there are international observers there and russia and belarus of both got very good reasons to be to be carrying out these

military exercises the nato critics are being very hypocritical we're living in an orwellian kind of propaganda framework at the moment where the countries who have done the attacking of other countries the countries that have posed a threat to world peace are pretending to be the countries under threat and but in actual fact it's russia which is acting here defensively with good cause because we've seen what nato has done and the destruction they've caused around the world. live from moscow to the world this is our two international under former we'll be here in just over a half an hour's time taking you through the evening. in

case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington media the media over voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. kind of financial survival job today with the money laundering first visit this cash into three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do all of these banks are complicit in their tough talk received a softer didn't call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice laundry watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. luxury

automobile again from that you know what money laundering is highly illegal. much keyser of course. with gold make this manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. billion relieved. as the syrian government pushes to finally end the war washington again calls for regime change also the media war regarding north korea and the so-called russian.

oh you mean you want the money. only the house yes there. will be a good story. but . then you will get a. big. freedom of speech all that the laws that we do they just need to be changed just a little and i don't i don't. understand the idea of. a will be defined

by having people raising children. if you take. those back. the tiger is also. maybe there is going to be. yeah maybe there are loads of. stages. where all this. money favors but. there is this. dark. in me a little move. and

. a when i thought. i'm certain that is a high level that. was on the butt of the hospitals as one of the look. out of the one of the called for love. because of those those even then. and for how the most masada few and those of us who would be of a different kind of comes close. to go member. played given a president on the economy. going to. take. a new muslim in the human ness i'm proud of that much so they could have a say. a month without even going over them. because it will save them but. those who are stuck in.

the surface of this and have not seen. do not have. one allows those a little close to home. is that they did so as a. who was of those that don't see it. can only keep the tip to move on doesn't. seem like an american made a request for money then i do those and i'm over that it could be anywhere in the. me though is to me but see those of us and them. it's one most of. the smart people. could do something with the said are you on. is a must not cool on a lot of submissive. honey you. must put on the hood in the. next i'm on that in the head of gina.

and me. from the continent had to intrude on my camera. from there much as my mom this mom. is plentiful below most alone it's a slam would be no me because a roof you can see. the consider a lake with a lake i'm pleading with you when you give us a new stuff and all you do with any. and much group of clutter and the sort of cloth i had to you know has a look on the side a. muffin hick from the hospital who was there i thought i would really have seen. natalee had decided become a model not a boy yet a man and i'm one to him now. it will be. you how i feel and wish him only the hottest he. said after yesterday.

that he mousley what. i said you would for this but it's no use nemo had the money to him and i know he is almost to accuse him of his will. is a thought of how soon. he had to go hunt the quite a then was then then you as is again it's the minimum of those who mourn with those using to do that was again some of those it does more as a muslim with the minds of the enemy side after because. it isn't about so much good will cut and some part of the end of a suitable clear and. allows us to let you know not. and there's a misquote. other than would come before him or. her or the moment hi can i remember them how did mom did you had to work on

a mike mike. the rule maker in the into the into a lot and i think you might know myself. i know. it's not hard to put on and part of a name and they. do hazy and if the end of a bit of lithium. it is useful.

there. they will consider. the near. us in the. us well listen are where the market is. oh most of the fellows. are who you first off and. how even to eat. where. they are just. thought of as she's. got a set of egypt that you don't. mess as i'm going to.

rule that it might be a sauce but it was just esau. on the nobody got off track of their stock. marshall and who went wrong with that wish to go into called in by definition if you really think. there is a year and i'm a. little. hard on how to define the need for war with people i would be muslim how the money they are using a fucking don't ask when i mean shared a numerical illinois and i'm happy to do a visual proof they're starting to. start and you will go to most all i

see there's an obvious lie on there should say i'm a busy day before it's due to its own unique video of the beat how do we. know they haven't caught up with. their lives there we want to use the media. so i can have a few member could be here. when there isn't one of my own this alone. should oh yes oh oh look at the arse. only who are. i usually most use evidence of the commonly known fact. management. if you have any book. here. aka my dad to go on i guess.

also feet two feet off to the fact is that was done to show that she was so there is not a monarchy but you and your family. if you have said i want to commute she sat and actually i didn't. because in my out of the house said if you don't know if you don't get. what i lead on the run from congress on this. we're a little more. legitimate and it would. seem the shop. well

tonight is the first operation for our group we're going to try to move forward one kilometer nervous. because a religious type of fire. lines. are charges in the room because their numbers are and i blend in. with. this image we.

have so we're kind of like some of those we're the friends because talk to say about today terry i got captured. though it's just stare. there's a. my life isn't more going to. bring this together. bigger council are going to be very good or we're not going to. see see. people over.

on. the boat see see. young. men touch but. the teacher doesn't mean just being young good. each own. faces. missing limbs. only teach him to discern. the key to me. this is a. good thing to say to them so the.

international community continues lee emphasize about what iraq or united iraq this is as a slogan maybe an approach will be politicians but in reality on the ground iraq is not one and we recognize united that he has courage on the west to be blamed school what is happening in the rest of iraq under the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. well you know the hard thing we've kind of adopted because we were called to go along. i mean they're into small ball and sniffs it hard pull achieve anything. carry. the little self to big talk fish already ninety percent of the dot and the calmer.

fifteen's. tongues that do it several times a day with a big fleet now you get an idea why. we have to understand we can all still use to just. be with them this will be used deal boy you are. doing this because i want the future. generations to have and enjoy the ocean how we have. here's what people have been saying about rejected and i suspect it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently

better than blue the things that i see people you never heard of love redacted the night my president of the world bank paid money to let me seriously send us an e-mail. to one lucky woman. who could move to the no idea.

look it's actually because our lives drugs would be up with the screen eight hundred if you hear. if you look up into it you just run into. the sun the morning. sun on the lake will look off. so if you go up that fish it looks appealing to. look up and.

a. couple pray for. all but all you will see or want to give you peace enough to know what was going to leave me here. or not. see you. for years. live. upon.

i think that if it. could. help the dog. it would cheer. the sniper was never with the conflicts and.

the very entropy of the result of a sponsor. yelling. this astonishing. funnymen. wanted to. kill me not. just i don't. want them. i want to then he could use it to the who cannot. make use of it just saw him for. if you.

really. did successfully. yeah. normally. i hate killing people and i think it's a bad thing to do but after all i've seen isis doing so many bad things to people especially to women. it was so happy to have my first shot it was a sniper on the first night who kept suppressing us and one time the pink armored vehicle was driving by and sniper tried to shoot the window and i saw his muzzle flash and i was like oh boy now you're done and i just saw them i just saw i think four times in a row. nothing to be proud of as a sniper but. i was just i. i was just like yeah. i was like oh my god the bad guys never have that clear i say this

is anyone in the world agrees ice is the enemy if i take a life from a nice guy i say so much of the life but you still lying there people did you. notice. that. you didn't want to get about in the middle.

they didn't get you with almost. no. no no no it didn't if you don't get shot when i didn't just talk about anything i want to look at. the hard questions. but i don't. know what you're stepping up on the ticket. she was. because i kind of all the. people. who. did this one of the most of you nobody. was there she didn't you like to see. the lot. about michelle a good little nobody.

there have been privileged to know about a lot of her look at certain. elements of. the policy was. like. oh no. no you. know we're going to be using. the this is what it. looks. like it's a big deal. going to be seven. years. just around the corner when you see.

the local fire. and your son. is still up. it seems it's gone. it's just.

the one sort of affected me the most. was actually today. so it gets its morning and everything goes calm because most of. our sleeping and i think sleeping in the morning and all of a sudden guy turned up with two fists come rights and he had a sword in his hand big source and he was just whacking things like a chair and other things i was trying to walk by him and he tried he tried to tell us. i says just executed it through a few minutes or maybe an hour ago his three kids there would just be having them all of a sudden maybe two minutes later we heard screaming from down from down there from down the street so i looked down as saw him. trying to run into him and he just

started running into a space just started running there without a rifle just with a with a sword. i was trying to get them some fires with. all of you. i think. strikes from the americans because they probably sold them on the satellite so they were isis. that extra maiden you're listening to. tell the. boy. the it's clear the earth beneath. the earth. pick up.

the of. the earth. the earth the. jungle.

the living. and. the earth. in a. good. as the syrian government pushes to finally end the war washington again. also the media war regarding north korea the so-called russia.

something doesn't mean it's. the headlines this hour donald trump pushes for reform of the united nations saying the world body hasn't reached its full potential. in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement . u.k. media is abuzz with speculation over the london bombing suspects the c.c.t.v. footage is appearing to show one of the men involved. more than eighty arrests are made during a third consecutive night of violence in the u.s.

city of st louis sparked after an x. police officer was found not guilty of murdering a black man. good evening welcome is just. watching international. the u.s. president has made his first speech at the u.n. where he spoke about reforming the international body donald trump proposed changes to the u.n. structure something he's long been in favor of. in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more than doubled since two thousand we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. with these american has been following events for us and she joins us

now good evening samir what else was said then. well president tribe's a first speech to the u.n. was dedicated to u.n. reform which he's been calling for for a long time now u.n. ambassador nikki haley also spoke right after president stating her support for the idea of spending cuts in fact she was the driving force behind a six hundred million dollar cut to the un peacekeeping budget this year let's take a look. donald trump has a businessman xy for seeing potential and he sees great potential not just in this reform movement but in the united nations itself. trumps remarks today seemed to contradict his earlier statements regarding the u.n. considering he's never actually been happy with the body. the united nations is not

a friend of democracy it's not a friend or freedom it's not a friend even to the united states of america united states is one of one hundred ninety three countries in the u.s. pays for twenty two percent of the budget we need the member states to come together to eliminate in a position she and. and to ensure that no one nation shoulders a disproportionate share of the militarily or financially the united nations is a wonderful. place for the benefit of the you were in such tremendous potential living up to its potential use you so you don't because it's a waste of time. even though it critic criticized you and spending and your rocket bureaucracy he also stated that the un is changing under secretary general antonio the terrorist this is very interesting because this particular

secretary general in june seemed to oppose any spending cuts to the un saying it would create an unsolvable problem to the un and now that it's clear that the u.n. is changing the question remains will it work out with less funding. ok thanks amir that was r.t.c. america. or donald trump is expected to speak at the u.n. general assembly on choose stay in ahead of that washington requested a meeting with russia's top diplomat the details on those talks in just a couple of minutes time. u.k. police continue to withhold the identities of two suspects arrested in connection with last week's tce bombing of the city's mayor gave a summary of what we know so far although more information has come out in the british media. there have been two arrests significant progress for the police to

continue their investigations are just at the site with the room where the people used to live with the rest of asia but you'd appreciate if you the suspects know charles she's yes despite a lot of the official information is yet to be confirmed we have certainly seen the press here in the u.k. really be of buzz with alleged details on potential suspects now certainly they've been focusing their attention on two men specifically one of them an unnamed eighteen year old man said to have been for all of iraqi origin the media here in the u.k. have been reporting that this is a young man that had allegedly arrived to the u.k. when he was fifteen years old following the death of both of his parents back in iraq now they've been reporting that he was arrested on friday evening near the port of dover and they're claiming that he is according to them the key suspect in this whole terror related latest incident in the u.k. because they've been circulating images captured by c.c.t.v.

cameras where a young man can be seen carrying a little bag which is a grocery store here and this is the exact same bag that was captured in images inside the carriage where this homemade device had partially detonated on friday morning and the second young man is actually being named a second alleged suspect according to the media they are describing him as twenty one year old for rukh and according to them he was arrested on saturday evening outside a chicken shop in west london now the media here have said that they've tracked down what they're saying is his facebook page that says that he is from damascus syria that this was a person who had studied english in london and worked at a events company here in the british capital and they have been saying that in the facebook page you can see that he lived somewhere near heathrow airport and that he had arrived in europe via egypt back in twenty third. there's also been lots of attention given to the foster care couple that are reportedly were having these two

men in foster care at certain periods throughout their presence in the u.k. and there are lots of reports about the neighbors describing them as a beautiful couple they are reported to be seventy one years old they are said to have fostered hundreds of children including migrants over a period of over thirty years there are reported to have been honored by the queen for their services in terms of helping children back in two thousand and nine and according to media reports here the neighbors are saying their god it there has been a some social media support page created for them so certainly lots of attention given to the personalities involved in this latest terror incident budget more information get to come in terms of official statements as this investigation continues to see will we heard from campaign zero blaming bennett and he believes it's important for the media not to whip up hatred and division in society in the

wake of the attempt. the time the hysteria that is building up around pass and scream does not contribute to a kind of unified society obviously all of us don't want to see such acts taking place inside the underground but we have to understand that as a consequence even the people who are perhaps described as come from the background coming from different parts of the world the one of the consequence is we live in a world which is rich with conflict with god be clear that we don't want muslims or the muslim community that has been here for hundreds of years to face the consequences of a racist backless which is a really been taking place for the last twenty years and we would like to have balanced reporting on this and not the kind of moral panic that seems to be taken place in season parts of the media. now there's been a third consecutive night of violence in the u.s. city of st louis after a former police officer was acquitted after murdering a black man some days demonstrations started as

a peaceful march but descended into rioting with property damaged and police offices assaulted more than eighty arrests were made. i was i. i. by nightfall the marches had turned into chaos protests as you can see smashed windows in through trash cans at offices there are also reports that police were attacked with a nine. on friday demonstrators vandalized the mayor's home angering the city has been swelling since a judge cleared film off the situation stokley of killing anthony lamar smith back in twenty eleven. although on.

a lot of anger there's a lot of frustration and there's a lot of people felt that he would go again we're not being heard and it's so important to change the narrative of violence is never justified on the any circumstances even though people may say there was a mitigating factors in this case here but personally i don't think violent is acceptable particularly when as you say it you're harming your very own community. that's been undermined cruder. joint military drills between russia and bellerive so well underway at the moment schools of airplanes helicopters tanks in combat ships are involved in acting out defensive maneuvers the first stage of the

exercise is simulated countering direct threats to bellary and also preparing foreign fighters.

well the trail wars which officially end on wednesday have led some western officials to express concern over what they do see is a direct threat to european security with more on that his first in months. but you can see right now because it's the day of the joint russian valerie's military exercise this process that's been. played really. is that right. the joint exercises between russia and the we haven't signed into invasion of europe so far as i can tell that's concerts or media expectations to the troops very sitting huge media attention long before they even start to rest in the fishless have been a little more reserved in that but just a little bit they're about to do an exercise in russia. that's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern

is they're not going to leave and that's you know that's not paranoia that's active concern among among the countries the data from the russian made that russian ministry of defense suggest that's a total if only thirteen thousand troops are going to participate and that's from both sides and the majority of them are from balad which by the way but in the eyes of washington and some european capitals the numbers could be ten or even twenty times higher something must go says it finds quote astonishing. but let's now see what we've got here. the b.m.p. see the more than eyes t. seventy two nothing new actually but these are the working forces of the russian army. russia's president vladimir putin did arrive in the leningrad region to observe the exercises the country's defense minister was also there and they hailed

the drills as being of the highest level as you mentioned area to visit pad exercises have seen some sensational media reporting some outlets have even suggested they are appreciated to the invasion of eastern europe but we travel to allow team time near the russian border to find out what locals that think about the likelihood of an incursion by moscow. i think this is all a generic nothing will happen i know that draw america seriously of course everything will be all keep these russian drills are actually an answer to need to drill in the baltics knowledge guard no no everything's fine there's no negative information representatives are invited to russian drills so all the dangers of being exaggerated we've got a real double standard here russia and belarus are allies they are carrying out these exercises they're very transparent there are international observers there and russia and belarus of both got very good reasons to be to be carrying out these

military exercises the nato critics are being very hypocritical we're living in an orwellian kind of propaganda framework at the moment where the countries who have done the attacking of other countries the countries have pose a threat to world peace are pretending to be the countries under threat and but in actual fact it's russia which is acting here defensively with good cause because we've seen what nato has done in the destruction they've caused around the world you're seeing our international be back with more nice intimidates. and. the international community continues lee emphasize about once the iraq war united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach will be politicians but in reality on the ground iraq is

not one and the record was united and to me as kurds are not the ones to be blamed what is happening in the rest of iraq under the direct wrong direction is that iraq has gone through. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington the media the media the. voters elect the businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . welcome back now russia and america's top diplomats have met at washington's for

quests for the first time since relations plunged to what has been described as an historic post cold or low or new york correspondent has more now on what. rex tillerson discussed. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson held a meeting on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly now the meeting was initiated by the american side the issues discussed specifically were syria and ukraine in syria there are accusations being leveled by the united states that u.s. backed rebel forces were directly attacked by russia now russia says that these rebel forces were not attacked that rather it was only i still forces that were attacked but the area in question the issue is the city of darryl's or it's important to know that this is taking place as there have been breakthroughs in the negotiations and russia iran and turkey have actually reached a breakthrough

a document has been released and deescalation zones are actually being a stablished in the country in the northwestern regions of syria in the province and elsewhere we're actually starting to see breakthroughs in deescalation zones in the country be a stablished as a result of the negotiations that are taking place in kazakstan between the three parties now it's also important to note that another issue that was discussed was the issue of ukraine and. and rex tillerson discussed implementing the minsk agreement for peace and deescalation of tensions in ukraine there's been ongoing fighting in ukraine in the east in the donbass region and the u.s. secretary of state and the russian foreign minister did discuss the possibility of implementing the agreement and making sure there were no tension. will middle east expert on the wrist as the trumpet ministration still wants to improve ties between russia and the us despite all the pressure. with develop an suv see original syria reaching a sensitive phase particularly in that eastern region the close of the border with

iraq i think that the americans thought that it was very important to focus on the fact that there should be no kind of collisions whatsoever i think it also points to the fact which is an important issue the trump illustration this by the congressional pressures that are you know despite the presence of anti russian voices in the administration such as licky halley view a similar sort of to your way to mr trump doesn't appear to have given up but it seems that misty on his efforts to improve the toys between the u.s. and russia although how much will be successful is something which is open for debate now as well as the sideline talks between russia and the u.s. the u.n. general assembly this week is likely to be on the korean peninsula and washington's into a bit it's pretty much exhausted every diplomatic possibilities jaclyn they get now reports. really sort of sounds like the military option is sort of becoming the

frontrunner for them we've had the american ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley saying that she feels that the united nations security council has really already done all that they can when it comes to north korea and that she's really already prepared to hand off the crisis to the u.s. secretary of defense adding that in that situation north korea would be quote destroyed and that's something we have coming from a diplomat i said yesterday i'm perfectly happy taking this over to general mattis because he has plenty of military options if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way north korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that none of us want war so there we have halley's saying she's happy to hand it over to mattis and not long ago we had he himself describing briefly what would sort of look like what a military option with north korea would look like and very best word saying that the response would be both effective and overwhelming any threat to the united

states george territories including. or our allies will be met with a massive military response a responsible. and overwhelming we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country namely north korea but as i said we have many options to do show and in the same light many remember all of the comments that we've had from trump himself fire and fury and whatnot and amid those threats that we've heard coming from the president he's repeated a number of times that talking with north korea just isn't going to be effective not really diplomatic words that we have coming from the president himself and on sunday trump also referred to the north korean leader as rocket man in a tweet comments that are unlikely to go without a response and it's worth noting that while some in the trumpet ministration are still hopeful for a diplomatic solution calling for it it does seem that the focus has sort of shifted from that sort of like an afterthought and going more towards the looming

military option. well the co-founder of the national campaign to end the korean more thinks that north korea is actually ready for a diplomatic solution but that's not something washington has so far presented to pyongyang. it will not negotiate the nuclear weapons unless the u.s. sends its hostile. policies toward the d.p. r. k. so consequently you've got two sides in a tug of war and that we're left with very little option other than considering fire and fury and in reality that shows not only a lack of creativity but arguably violates our commitments under international law as well the idea that in a tug of war you have to let go of one end of the rope you have to have the courage to do that and then use creative aspects of conflict resolution to get the job done

. the european union's top court has overruled italian law allowing a farm of that plant genetically modified corn that is despite every region in the country saying they were against the controversial crop what in one thousand nine hundred eight the european court authorized the use of the seeds in question saying they had no adverse effects or on human health or the environment nearly fifteen years later the farmer was fined by the italian government which does argue that g.m. maize can pose health risks well italy has previously asked the european commission to ban the use of g.m. seeds nationwide but was turned down in twenty teen they issued a ministerial decree that led to farmers being sued but this new e.u. court decision effectively overruled was that some families in this league gave us their thoughts on the use of genetically modified c. . i believe that if italy has decided that g m o's will not be grown on its territory that decision has total legitimacy those who come to italy have

the opportunity to buy and taste a large amount of local products these products are the result of years of work and one hundred year old farming history what will we gain from g.m.o. those if a sovereign state decides its. certain laws are fundamental to its economy i don't think it is right that the e.u. can interfere with those laws. if you produce in italy and you were italian you should follow italian laws not force things that go against those laws we work here and we do not break our laws we respect them we completely reject g.m. seeds we produce high quality products in former ghana. or the phase over g.m. crops are wide and varied they range from mine to food allergies to very to more serious cases like infertility miscarriage birth defects and even cancer despite the you court approved g.m.c. usage in italy we discussed it with

a number of experts. if not these crops are forbidden because we still do not understand what the consequences are so far there has been no proper and in-depth research for this reason we do not know in five years ten years twenty years what can happen surely this ruling creates a precedent that makes it urgent and necessary to conduct research and experiments the choice to use g.m. seeds or not should not be dictated by economic political or social parameters but must be dictated only and exclusively by technical choices and scientific analysis there is a very strong conflict of jurisdiction the which cannot be solved because there is no upper or toit above the european union the european union the knolls will prevail on the italian love from now on so with this certainly allowed every genetically modify. farm to farm we speak

a lot about genetically modified organisms because it is a very true and the topic because people are interested in these but there are many conflicts of jurisdiction between between the euro and italy i don't see as a positive thing this infringement of italian loans by the european union so that's how the news looks i thought i hear an r.t. will be back with more. here's what people have been saying about rejected and i. just pulled. out of the only show i go out of my way to accurately what they're really packed a punch. yeah it's the john oliver of r.t. america is doing the same we are apparently better than booth at c devore heard of love redacted the night president of the world bank paid. for it. he sent us an e-mail.

well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small boat sniffs it hard poor ships and it's scary. but. the little self to big cold fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't recover. concept fifteen scoops some of tom's trying to do it several times a day with the big cleats and no you get an idea on why. we have to understand we can still use to just. be with miss b. field going through the. i'm doing this because i want them for the future. the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

to show it's seemed wrong when old rules just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape out these days becomes agitated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

hello welcome to sophie and go on sophie shevardnadze they rocky kurdistan referendum has been a long time coming for the people but it's making all the autonomy's region neighbors uneasy but couldn't the pandan so kurdistan on a leash well today atop tonight you're bound barzani of the prime minister of kurdistan regional government of iraq. surrounded by civil war and the fight against the middle east political system is nearing collapse and it could make way for an independent kurdistan something its people wanted. but with neighbors weary

of the emergence of a new nation could it lead to get more violent conflict signaled the end of the middle east as we know it's or is it the beginning of a brighter peaceful future. that you run barzani prime minister of kurdistan regional government all for iraq welcome to our show it's really good to have you with us now from azhar i have heard reports from they had of the kurdish news network t.v. saying that the independence referendum will be delayed under pressure from aidan and the united states is this true. until this very moment there is no decision to delay the process of referendum to be conducted in kurdistan regional in the high committee of referendum that has been set up to to preside over this process. they have to make a decision and the decision is that it will be held on twenty fifth so prime minister the visit of brett mcgurk hasn't changed any saying in terms of the referendum dates. in fact the position of the united states that has been

declared before and through the visit of. basically to. declare their position that the timing though there might not be ideal suitable and this is emphasis on the position that they have declared previously. position we have also said clearly that the timing for such a referendum is ideal. have differences of position and discussions have been conducted around that. so the kurds vote yes said you will not declare independence right away why. the question that should be. we have come to the decision of having such a referendum in fact the reason for that amounts to the expectations that we have had from the new iraq and years of struggle and atrocities and that has

been and the calamities that have been injured by the people of kurdistan and particularly in two thousand and three when we were convinced that there is a new beginning for iraq it's a new democratic and federal iraq that we will be living on an equal basis but unfortunately for thirteen years after the constitution that was voted on by the majority of the iraqi people unfortunately it has become irrelevant and it has been violated time and time again and therefore the expectations that we've had from new iraq it has not been met and there has been a lot of disappointment and loss of hope by the people of kurdistan in the present circumstances in the political climate in iraq and the sufferings continue therefore this is the reason that we have we had. decided to go to the people in order for them to decide their future with the future of iraq. since the war against isis appears to be drawing to a close iraq will soon have

a chance to start political and economic reconstruction and hold parliamentary elections where kurds will have the chance to have their say on the future of the united iraq one that be a more peaceful option than holding an independence referendum now. in fact when we talk about the referendum on the twenty fifth it doesn't mean the following day that we will be declaring independence basically the whole idea of holding such a referendum is to express the will and the desire of the people and the nation as a whole and it will be a mandate for the political leadership in order to further discussion and dialogue in order to further this idea with baghdad as far as the issue of our war against. we have been successful in fighting and we will continue to cooperate with the security elements in iraq and the coalition in order to fight i said whatever

they may be and we have been extremely successful in the level of cooperation that we've had with the iraqi army. and. talking about the future elections and the prospect of changes. unfortunately this. enable us to bring about any changes and. been told by the international community the postponement of the referendum. there hasn't been a presentation over a strong alternative that would convince us to proceed with the political process in iraq we have been told that the referendum should leave without any alternatives that can replace the status quo that we have already. president most of our zani said that they kurdish partnership failed which is one of the reasons for the independence drive so how do you plan to build up those failed relations with baghdad if there were four and then succeeds. a process that

would enable us to have a serious discussion with baghdad and try to. put us in a better position. that has been. exist never existed in reality since two thousand. we have been facing major difficulties. as an example. recently when. that have been. provided to them. everything was provided for them at a time when the peshmerga forces in the same trenches as. they have. they have

offered the same sacrifice is. ready to provide any kind of. encouragement for the. you have. a system. project. that has been directed to. this is again. and there are many other examples that can be identified we believe. we would be able to have some much more serious negotiation. on how to proceed. together so what will be your course of action.

because you're already said that there. will be unconstitutional. well they have already. started to reject. whatever they may be. and the iraqi parliament have already voted on that but i can see it clearly this will not have any impact on the process no i am sure of the referendum will take place the question was what will be your course of action what are you planning to do once they refuse to accept the referendum. expectoration is not to take in as the situation further on the basis of the results of the referendum. our aim is to push for a serious engagement with baghdad to have a serious. for them to be forthcoming and for us to be forthcoming in order to have . much more. serious debates on the future prospects.

president barzani said that the iraqi kurds are prepared to draw their own borders refuses to accept the independence vote are you wanted to go as far as military confrontation with baghdad to keep those borders and of course mainly we're talking about kirkuk here give a good number a lot that the referendum will not define the boundaries of mcchrystal regions to twelve only this can be achieved through serious dialogue with baghdad but in fact we increased our region in the people of kurdistan and the kurds in particular do not want to impose our will on the populations and other ethnicities if this is in this region such as. christians and all other components in various areas. the borders. they they live in within these borders be home which is through their own wishes of their own desire or with how they want to vote and whether to be part of this research of region or not this is entirely

a democratic process for them to decide and defining the border will be left to discussions and a dialogue with iraq that. so you've partially answered my question but precisely what i want to know about care cook what if people of care to remain under iraqi governance and the rest of iraqi kurdistan votes to separate what will happen because we're kind of seeing the same thing with the exit of scotland right now. again it's an issue that it's used. for the population and we are not imposing any solutions. the special status of the composition of the communities of arabs and turkomans christians the kurds of course this is something which has to be taken to serious consideration in the

kurdistan administration the region can enjoy. as a region. and the specialists of the communities in the components tried to get in get it didn't secure. planning to impose one sided your unilateral solution to that of it is entirely left to the people of special status and special arrangements has to be made for. future. i understand that you're not going to impose your will to anyone but they kurdish pressed america has played a huge role in driving isis out of muscle are you maybe going to take advantage of the war right now and take more territory from the jihadi and try to include it in an independent kurdistan. in fact we do not wish and desire

to have to impose a kind of a defacto. the present circumstances but there is a there are certain realities that needs to be taken into consideration. prior to the fall of two thousand and fourteen we had the. protection and participation to protect. the prime minister of iraq with unfortunately that was a negative in responding to what such a proposal. it's happened but it happened in mosul fell well but immediately after the request of then the prime minister we had provided security and peshmerga forces to its immediate environs in order to protect this region not to fall under the. attack of i saw had we not sent to those regions perhaps the fate of the would have been far worse than what had happened in mosul. the presence of.

how we intended to protect the territories plus all the components of the wood. we need to talk to baghdad in order to define the boundaries. of kurdistan region and not to impose anything we feel that this can only be concluded through a common and standing and serious engagement with battle but the. way i take a break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to natural. kurdistan regional government discussing they were percussions iraqi kurdistan independents might bring stay with us.

as the syrian government pushes to finally end the war washington again calls for regime change also the media war regarding north korea and the so-called russia draft. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turn on each breath

. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what

the doctors told us to do we were. being responsible and what the real. is. what i did was. illegal. just because. you are back with not sure vaughan barzani to be a prime minister of the kurdistan regional government of iraq discussing the nation's upcoming and attendance referendum prime minister now with oil prices

remaining low are you afraid that independent kurdistan with than oil dependent economy will not have money to survive or will not have enough money. indeed the situation of kurdistan region over the past three years. and the crisis can be attributed to the fall of the oil prices yes indeed the oil prices has affected but at the same also have to remember since beginning of two thousand. had cut the budget of kurdistan for three years we have been facing difficulties because of lack of budget coming from baghdad and secondly facing eleven hundred kilometers of . dangerous terrorist organization in the name of. the great deal of pressure and with the. capturing of many areas by this also resulted

in points. coming to this also added to the difficulties and strains that we had. certain indications in improving the economy and. development and. to introduce reforms. that. generated the revenue but also to diversify our economy. do you think that kurdistan's independence could scare foreign investors away. well in fact as i mentioned earlier. after the referendum that has been carried out it doesn't mean that we will be declaring independence but what we would like to do is to enter a serious dialogue with baghdad and to try drink up all the pending issues that we

can resolve through dialogue and serious engagement in baghdad and in addition to that we have proven that we are a factor of stability in the region for the last couple of decades and we will continue we certainly try to continue to go in that direction to be a factor of stability in this region for. one occurrence god there are defacto autonomy from baghdad in the ninety's after the gulf war they immediately turned against each other for a lasting dares now president barzani said he is stepping down once kurdistan goes independent and that there will be a presidential vote in november is there a risk of violent and stability and depend on kurdistan. but keep it no indeed what had happened as an internal conflict it was a sad chapter in our history but it's a chapter that has been closed and i don't believe the circumstances. internal conflict to erupt again as far as the position of president barzani on

numerous occasions he have underlined very clearly that he would not stand for reelection or to present his candidacy for a presidential election he will respect that and he will respect the. laws of kurdistan region and that is a position that he has expressed explicitly. apartments are one of the they reasons why isis marched into iraq in the first place is political terror and divisions within the country every thought about it how can you be sure that kurdish independence will not trigger an him and deeper divide that would actually plunge their region into worse chaos. him in fact if you have a realistic approach of easy the contribution of kurdish leaders since two thousand

and three. presidents barzani and talabani had contributed a great deal to rebuilding iraq with the promise that it will be a new iraq for all of us but unfortunately this has not gone in the right direction and for the last twelve years or so we have been waiting for implementation of constitution but it's had been violated and there hasn't been has been really at the end of the day after twelve years so. what we have done to rebuild iraq a new iraq a new chapter we ask the question where do we stand. at all these difficulties that we are facing on the bases with the fact that this is we can do what we have done so far we cannot contribute further we cannot improve. what has been said in terms of. stability or unity which the international community continuously emphasize about iraq or united iraq. as

a slogan maybe. an approach of the politicians but in reality on the ground is not one and iraq is not united and we as kurds are not the ones to be blamed for what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through what we are trying to do when we talk about an independent entity of kurdistan it is not. complicate the situation and further to the problems that are existing in this country country we feel that in the pin into will. factor stability and the wrongdoings and instabilities that exist in the region it is not a doing of the of the kurdish people it is not our fault that iraq has gone in that direction. present massoud barzani said that their spirit of colonial era border in the middle east like they say speak or agreement is over and their region needs

a new formula that will include independent kurdistan what other new things do you hope this formula to include do you think that iraq and syria will survive in their current form. both see when the issue of independence. has been. brought about and even discussed we solian purely talk about what we have iraqi kurdistan and the christan region within iraq and the issue of beyond the boundaries of christe our region it is not something that we would like to interfere however we would like to see the issue of the kurdish people in syria to be resolved at a democratically and peacefully both that's our responsibility is primarily and solidly for. a region of iraq will. during a telephone conversation was your secretary of state rex tillerson. your present person barson a ask for guarantees and alternatives or kurdistan's future in exchange for holding

back their referendum as far as i understand no such guarantees were given what exactly could they be. right and will you proceed without them. is the important question that has been all along in the international community of the united states is that when one has been mentioned that if the referendum can not take place or it cannot be delayed or the right time is not right our question or from the counter question is you know if referendum is such a bad thing then what would be the alternative and if the timing is not right then can you define what would be the right time for us and so far we don't have a response to these questions. the current turkish government in conflict with the kurdish forces at home as well as to kurdish quasi states in syria but you have good relations with the turkish government certainly the iraqi kurdistan

independence will embolden those forces do you feel your relations with turkey will suffer as a result. the issue of referendum we believe internationally has been exaggerated in has been taken out of proportion it should be seen as it is for what it is and for what purpose it serves again i want to emphasize the day after the referendum has been conducted doesn't mean that we will be in a position to declare independence or indeed we do enjoy a good relation with turkey both politically socially and economically and definitely we do not want to spoil that and we value those relations with turkey and we do not want this process that we have invited should be. a reason. undermining our relation with turkey and we hope that there would be more understanding and more communication and we are ready to communicate further on this issue and. the standing internationally that the referendum i'm
