7:30 am
i would like to ask you about something very specific one of the greatest challenges this year specifically north korea also she was going to school with this issue has been a widely discussed how real would you say is in nuclear conflict on the korean peninsula. but we should dice up with that. avoid. what the united states is after with its saber rattling many especially say that its goal is to raise the stakes are such inkstand that north korea is forced to capitulate on the american term do you agree with this analysis. that it will because i don't think that any sane person would like to have a war on the korean peninsula. well just call us so you would have huge losses of live. in seven boys by us by the americans by american
7:31 am
officials i don't think that any sane person would like to have such intentions when least i hope so but we've heard different voices in direct voices. but even if you don't want to war we have so many weapons high tech weapons destructive weapons on both sides. you always have a risk human error in my. equipment failure. but i hope that those who deploy. those weapons and who hold provoke conceived trills i hope to aware of. the. potential i hope that the us does not harbor any plans of military intervention but you know. over the past months
7:32 am
there's a trend. to treat but at the lives of us with the walk. and the like to disclose some of the details of the strand of the world we seem to be able to publish it i don't want to disclose too much information but in september we received a signal from the u.s. that they want to start dialogue with north korea that there would be no new military exercises and to. till next spring and we could use this natural pause. for. building some kind of dialogue we have transmitted that signal that signal. was not rejected but while we were doing those preparations the u.s. said that they would hold back stronger in military exercises that they would have
7:33 am
. so in september we received one signal and in it. all of sudden you have major exercises to our surprise north korea did not respond. and it seemed to us that they wanted to put the squeeze that kind of response out of them so they have these unprecedented in scale where there was this looks exercises it was a. young and you know they've announced. a round of drills and. you know if you look at all this with north korea responded to that and they launched a new missile which. seems to be. intercontinental ballistic missile it's a bit of. so china and russia sure sure newsgroup. it
7:34 am
was proposed to have a double threes north korea would not launch anything would not test anything. particularly the u.s. and again the u.s. should not have any exercises but the u.s. responded that it's all the. surge admit to have exercises. and the u.s. says they're. going all nuclear tests and miss ellis hest are banned by the un and this is indeed so but i believe it's too formal an approach when you have. such combination of tension. so i think. the first step. forward should be done by the worse party which is my chair
7:35 am
which is smarter and we hold that there are people in the us who believe that this iteration should be resolved through diplomatic means so together with china we believe there's all these. mutual approaches of actions need to be. frozen. dialogue needs to be started without any precondition size or face to face talks. with participation of other countries. they just need to exchange their assessments and their proposals on how to discuss this crisis. we know that there are six party talks definitely we are open to this kind of the third stage we would move to the multilateral process we would agree on the parameters of peace and security on the not on the korean
7:36 am
peninsula in insulin in general. but at the same time we've. got of the cannot forget about signals. that the u.s. has sent to north korea regarding the uranium nuclear deal you know if you challenge that nuclear deal with means that the you know we've had this we had this nuclear pact and iran shut down is nuclear program entirely and if it's challenge well you know there's been a lot of fuss around it and the u.s. has made it and the u.s. has always drawn from this deal everyone's everyone feels that including u.s. allies so the signal to north korea is for you you should refuse from the military nuclear program and we would lift sanctions sanctions but once we have
7:37 am
a new administration in place in washington we might change our mind but. i think i feel this is very important aspects and. you cannot strangle. the economy of north korea but. you cannot. pose a total bloke a they need to be aware of this we just passed a new security council resolution we've managed to get read of. extreme things we've managed to keep some of the projects that we have. which have been there would be of benefit to russia who we've got calls new parts of the meeting. to initiate further crackdown on north korea. well mr macmaster once said use diplomacy would only rely on for us. and we
7:38 am
prowess on the strongest military in the world well if it's still the case that. we are in store and that it means that we are facing turbulent times and tests and tribulations present puting favors. a unifying approach not trying to isolate any one but trying to build inclusive dialogue. machine not. go in away from russia use relations so i would like to ask you about syria recently updated round of talks in astana that we. must meet that day and syrian congress will take place in sochi on january twenty ninth and thirtieth do you think we're getting closer to a solution for the syrian conflict you talk to you got world leaders through international players would you say the international community is
7:39 am
ready to put an end to this war. now here's the most important point but that we see that the vast majority of those who are fighting on the ground are used to fighting are still fighting the ground they are ready for talks we now have for deescalation zones it means that up. position groups are ready to deescalate are ready to build dialogue with the government to stop the bloodshed and move on to peaceful life. things are getting back to normal you still you already have institutions banking plays institutions this used to be exit used to exist institutions that people used to trust and still trust we need to deal with which are going to produce so they are those. those opposition groups have been invited to hold local dialogue. meetings. like
7:40 am
providing humanitarian aid to the local population. there and they will have checkpoints that are going to go to which was only manned by. countries that are the ranters of peace in syria and if we talk about the southern. discolorations and you have russia and the us we still have jumped out of the news for you to still have ice is that have not been did defeated. spot on the terrorist least the un security council but despite. our reminders that the us led coalition do not know it was no one to crack down on it. to disband to that it means that they still harbor some plans to preserve it for
7:41 am
the future. which to them perhaps. still wanted to go back to the initial plan to initiate regime change just recently the un security council considered a resolution on. the mercenaries in syria and how to fight them. and other aspects of return to terrorist die gender and the resolutions that were approved because we would like those proposals to be more determined to dissolve but still they've been quite effective and we saw that. they didn't want to mention it we told them why don't you want to mention it because it's only terrorists least of the us that we. live with and you know there's a principle. trial try who are
7:42 am
extradite they say that this principle should not be used necessarily. and they also say that. when you're on the border a jihadi. person has not committed any crime or he may be he harbored some terrorist plans but has not. put them into practice he should not be considered as a terrorist. or that the mood of the year is a view of the war because of it's been other village voice's to the expert level which you know we've been promoting. to counter extremist violence. is a. so you know there are dictatorships to crack down
7:43 am
on human rights and it means that the us with good insists that the international community. were explained to the local population how to build democracy and in this case you would have reasons for extremist sentiment. well i hope that everyone understands what's behind it so that's what the concept that the u.s. has been promoting and they've been trying to speculate. on our shared course well actually we shouldn't use those goals to promote their own agenda which means a region change now game back to syria specifically with you on the readiness of those who are fighting on the ground and again those people are moving back to. peaceful life. so they're ready to move back to peaceful life but how ready are our
7:44 am
external players i can only speak for iran and turkey those who are been working with iran in turkey definitely have their own concerns russia does not necessarily. coincide with our concerns for iran that protects the rights of shii groups and for turkey that for the kurds but definitely we need to. promote reconciliation between shia and sunni we need to. hold a new conference that. was the role of a good use to. ensure that. sunni. claire solidarity. and it's high time to start dialogue on this. they need to
7:45 am
start per accusing each other of evil intentions these are two major regional countries that are your they definitely have interests in it changes in territories they need to shave their own rules we read to facilitate this process we are also pushed to new concepts for a security of the persian gulf region that's for western counterparts. and syria but when you think i have mixed feelings. about it we have some you know dialogue with the us on the military situation and the escalation this dark is not always public. and based on our dime.
