humanitarian cause long enough for us to be it will deliver this on a regular basis what we call what we continue to of or is thirty days. at least thirty their definition of hostilities so that we don't ever need in. other british apart areas in syria what's what's important is that most all parties on the ground warring parties and east on the water respect and protect civilians whether there are humanitarian corridors or not so civilians must not be must not be targeted and should be allowed to flee whether through humanitarian corridors or not if they wish and if they wish to remain inside their homes and use them although they are not to be targeted that is clear according to the international humanitarian law. meanwhile on the political side knew in few russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has defended the syrian government's ongoing strikes against terrorist groups in eastern. brought of children east of under the u.n.
10:31 pm
cease fire resolution it is entirely legitimate continued the fight against terrorists we have mounting evidence the western powers including the united states are trying to shield the al nusra front which keeps changing its name but not assessments and seeking to use it as a back up plan to overthrow the government of syria. two people are in a critical condition after being exposed to an unknown substance in the u.k. one of them here's the twist believed to be a former russian intelligence officer who was convicted of spying for great britain more than a decade ago is make a lot of headlines these rallies in london the with the latest on it. u.k. police reporting that a man and a lady have been found on a bench in a shopping center in wiltshire that's around one hundred miles or so away from the capital here in london now the police haven't named who the gentleman is but the media here the b.b.c. and sky in particular saying that their sources are telling them that the gentleman
10:32 pm
is guy scripts he's sixty six years old he's a former colonel for the rushes russia's military intelligence and he was convicted for handing over secrets to the my six agency britain's foreign intelligence agency and in two thousand and six he was sentenced to thirteen years in prison but in two thousand and ten he was part of a prisoner swap the so-called on the chapman prisoner swap and so he's been living in the united kingdom since then and so it's according to the b.b.c. and sky that this gentleman is the one who's been found ill now the police also as well as not naming who the person is they've also not said anything about what the substance is at this stage however that hasn't stopped the media here from drawing parallels with the case of alexander litvinenko who was poisoned in london in two thousand and six if you recall back to two thousand and six that was when a man named. alexander litvinenko was poisoned and died
10:33 pm
a slow horrible death immediately people's minds go back to alexander litvinenko and polonium two ten and everything but again it's key to point out that the police haven't named either who the man is or what the substance is involved so at the moment anyway the media seem to be jumping to conclusions in drawing those parallels so try to put a rational head and spoke to former m i five officer and he mashona knows kind of what goes on behind the scenes of these things maybe she told us the case may have nothing to do with poisoning. this might just be some sort of drug instant there have been numerous stories over the last couple of years in the u.k. of the spread of synthetic kind of annoyed called spice which seems to create the same sort of symptoms that were reported in this case people who. dissipated because they've been involved in a spy swap for example their lives are forever changed there's a long history of people in that situation self medicating with substances this
10:34 pm
happened they were taken to hospital they were identified their names were fed into the system and as soon as there their names are fed into the system there's some alert around the fact that this guy had indeed been involved in the spy swap in twenty ten suddenly became much more much more newsworthy i think this is where the story is built from. ok wallace so i mean logs were stories that could be a plot struggle hollywood with another one for you this would happen in a russian village let me tell you about it a mix up with a maternity ward forty years ago left two mothers raising each other's children nightmare scenario d.n.a. test no have confirmed that suspicions of the families had been harboring brother seems for decades seems they were brought up in a loving relationship there was an issue surfie report. it's a tell of heartache confusion and attempted met and it's taken two women almost forty years to find out they were raised by the wrong families in a village hospital near the oval mountains for women with on the same day in march

10:37 pm
it. if you think on your face of it that the. issue of bush. then yes. but veronica is still haunted by the suffering she saw. i feel sorry for my mom because i have seen her struggling for all her life not everyone can deal with it not everyone can be like her for the sake of her children she has forgotten about everything she would go to the end of the world only for her children to be safe and sound but i would go to court for moral compass sation at least because we're so we should birth because i feel myself guilty for her in life and that my father left her the families have now come to terms with what happens and even say they've gained more than they've lost tanya yuliya my grandchildren we're all a big family now we're all relatives you can turn back time. disneyland next consider the once in a lifetime experience of adventure wonder and joy is near but it's not we ask is
10:38 pm
there a flip side to the magic kingdom around thirty thousand people work at that huge place that is in the end result in california to make the dream a reality and according to a recent economic survey titled working for the most it seems so over seventy three percent of employees there find it tough to make ends meet so even struggle to keep a roof over their head we talk to one employee direct. as a housekeeper we are in church to clean or to do on sunday which means we make the bread lack you will clean the toilets clean the showers to their. marriage. and as a single mother is very hard for example of this fire squeeze last i need to choose between pay our rent or give a percent of my kits unfortunately i need to rove over me so i chose to pay the
10:39 pm
rent i was very hard. to say i'm sorry i don't have enough. tell you what christmas is it's just another work day and any jackanapes has been shelled should be boiled in its own putting well i just go to the cheapest supermarket and i just to chip this food which is a man's knowledge to help pay for some time for all these i need to war over time as much i can sometimes one or two days on a working forth in our city. well we can tell the disneyland resort dismisses the report saying they believe it to be a quote inaccurate and unscientific survey that's politically motivated they say but back to veronica charges against she says there are many people who are in the same position as. that is all of us are the same situation their friend
10:40 pm
they live their lives in which we name or. their form of all insurance what i would body and with the respect i respect. when you the quality or the need to feel borrowed this much to. three years of civil war in yemen to continue to lead deep scars which will take the country decades to recover from but now a little bit of light amongst all this one artist there is trying to ensure that the victims are not forgotten by painting murals in their memory all around the capital.
10:41 pm
but i lost the feeling of safety of peace destruction is everywhere blood the killings crime all across yemen a lot of crime. which are just alike is a painting dedicated to victims especially children. what about the mouth but sometimes it's a challenge to find the war some people don't want my paintings on their houses or official buildings but when i receive people support it encourages me a lot. beethoven a big corn and virtual currencies that is perhaps no affairs of these days than
10:42 pm
california silicon valley so my girlfriend says santiago for us went there he talks all things krypto with tech guru guy looking at how blotching technology could well shape the future. welcome to our team's crypto him coming out of the silicon valley detention easily this installation conference in the world. we speak to the valley forefathers of venture capitalism and of course the new kids on the block crypto and this guy kawasaki a silicon valley guru he was the apple employee originally responsible for marketing the macintosh computer line in one thousand nine hundred four along with steve jobs so what does silicon valley think of blushing a new kid on the block let's get guy stick on crypto do you believe in it do you think it's something tangible like three in the old fashioned sense you create value and you get rewarded right so you make a good computer you get rewarded you make
10:43 pm
a good phone you get rewarded so i think all my money out of silicon valley but put it across the earth and do a project that has a token like that with me on a project was like a stock you know some flooding that's in the auction apology to make the world more transparent or less centralized exulted a little like telling somebody making a new fall order. and it's all cryptic or the like out of work translate that to me i want to invest in tesla come on the. boat look cool first of. all right thanks or. however skeptical guys misaki see concrete so maybe even evasion is already here it's like flying cars are not the future they are available right now as did the first ever passenger flying taxi it's powered by mach change which allows for artificial intelligence to control airspace and the inventors say this will improve air chatter control in ways that the world is not experienced are
10:44 pm
practical approaching our force field where the big world focused on the persian gulf south. africa was the first to see this for the. once block change airspace as part of them on a long. deployed. controlled power plant actually another plant that suspend service will be in charge and they will be able to make money from piloting drones over the city so the look at the states a day you will tell your children that this is how it moved when you were little when they were little because this is not how it's going to look and even within five years and we manage with watching to acknowledge the ruling the skies may be the first but as far as flying cars they're not the last also wants to take taxi said the air and has signed a deal with nasa for a similar project so perhaps you'd expect
10:45 pm

to end the illegal war against yemen and why arming the cio is a recipe for disaster as well as that we chose to treat wars. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to access education. higher education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you good. luck with the kind of fellow we couldn't we. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i'm extremely bored higher education the new global economic war. some is not is not quite place is not a good country. true. loves
10:47 pm
. believe this but this is. so there is little. that the culture. of the. less sure of the political objective of christmas. just a little embarrassed for a fellow muslim of oneself to be belittled. play almost anything for the numbers for the base the lot of the coward that john said i'm based on are much less numbing can i do the last hour we are survivors from that matter how anomaly. from michelle. to fuck mom i can no. more most. to fuck them on a cuckoo secert in the solar now fargo showed me it was a supermodel to go to the cities in the american armed forces in the city of the world over the streets. of the cinema of our governor of the largest the
10:48 pm
10:49 pm
only a short breath to celebrate the fall of isis but neighboring power is getting deeper and deeper involved in the quagmire what is next for the. war torn country well i asked robert malley a former white house advisor on isis and the middle east and now has of the international crisis group. as the islamic state is reduced if you project. to the other fronts in the syrian war a senior embers rise into flames again as clashes breaking you know right across syria peace is once more a distant hope but can the latest battles lead to results how can peace conference is the situation. of patience to hammer out a common solution. robert malley the obama administration's advisor on the middle east now had of the international crisis group welcome to the show good to have you with us mr malley the u.s. state department is blaming russia for the failed ceasefire in saying that russia
10:50 pm
has the influence to stop damascus from attacking and that's true and russia is using that influence to establish daily cease fires and humanitarian corridors but who has influence over the rebels and. who will tell them to stop firing rockets into damascus could possibly state department apply pressure to that side as well. so i mean i worked as you said on the syria for for a long time including with many russian colleagues over the years and there's not a situation where you can't point to many parties that are responsible but it is i think it's a fact that in the case of these two goods it's the regime that has preponderant firepower that is use that firepower in ways that i think are hard to hard to describe sometimes but certainly been visible for people who watch them and that russia has some influence i wouldn't say they have total influence with some influence in getting the syrian government to respect the united security u.n.
10:51 pm
security council resolution so i think that is a that is something that russia can and should do their other parties that have influence over the rebel groups turkey is one of them the u.s. may have some i mean it depends in each case the groups are different and the proper opinion will have so in these and which will have some impact if it saw that the bombing from the regime were to stop it would also put pressure on the rebels to stop but this is not and none of these cases would i say that is a single culprit but in the but in the case of the some go with i think there's no doubt that the principle by far the principle of reza has been has been the government and i think that's been widely recognized and that should stop. i think like it will if way follow the general logic. whether it's good regime or a bad regime is fighting a war so you can't just like sit there and do nothing right. when there is what like very being fired at as well so when the fire mr guta is discussed like you said it's usually about civilians and assets troops but also troops are really only
10:52 pm
there because the rebels are so instead of or at the same time asked telling us us forces to stop their offensive which i agree they should why not also tell the rebels to give up and like take buses to lift like it happened and now i bow or homes why is this plan not discussed the security council resolution is. well the security council resolution is clear right and russia was one of the parties that that agreed to it which is that there needs to be. a ceasefire now that after that going to be with modalities that are going to be negotiated in conformity with international law sure but let's stop the firing on all sides and so the international crisis group is calling for all sides to stop the fiery but you know there is as i say and i think it's clear for people watching at this one party that has proposed reduce of course nobody's asking it now to exercise self-defense but it isn't this is not a case of self-defense this is a case of from reports said that there we see where there is often offensive action
10:53 pm
being taken against civilians and this includes the so yes the rebels are going to have to be there to stop what they do is going to be an answer to that to the problems that are represented by the rebels some of whom. are engaging in activities that you just described as well but the the the mandate of the score the lesson of this critical resolution was very clear it calls for a cease fire so let's end the fire this allow humanitarian access people who want to leave could leave if we don't need to after the if i'm talking about civilians now and then has there's going to have to be a solution to the question of the rebels as well but let's not mix things the security council resolution which russia agreed to which other members of the screen council agreed to that's implemented that i think that's that's the first that so you said russia has some influence on assad's forces not a lot but some what leverage does the united states have in this i do not see not a lot i said not i said not not total influence there not total is another
10:54 pm
unfortunate had i just i just us i just want to i just want to see what inflows debtor side has what leverage does the u.s. have and the situation on the ground in western syria how exactly can it influence the situation in your opinion. you know frankly i'm not sure today the u.s. has proponent influence over the rebel groups others do and in turkey and some seen situations as far more influence over. the rebel groups in the u.s. housing that the u.s. used to have in the us today has less influence over the rebel groups because it gives less supports of the rebel groups so by definition it is going to have less leverage i think this is a case where all the parties that have provided support or that have provoked whether it's material support or moral support to the rebels need to tell them they need to stop shelling. regime controlled areas as well that has to that has to stop because it gives a justification a pretext often for the regime then to go in and to go in with disproportionate force i think you know again if you just look at the pictures and hear the accounts it's hard to call this simply not of self defense it's hard to call this consistent
10:55 pm
with international humanitarian law so i think those shouldn't really be those and other matters for debate yes the rules have to stop for the regime as a sub firing it needs to be a cease fire and then some solution has to be felt and russia today has a role a stronger role probably than virtually anyone else in this theater to try to make that happen and they the they should use that influence to stop the shelling of civilians certainly on both sides but it has real influence on what it can get the regime to get like in your organizations recent article russia is called a reluctant driver in a syrian war and urged to take a more proactive role in the conflict what you're saying right now that serious battle is becoming largely internationalized russia may have good relations with israel iran turkey but do you really believe moscow can just like how will this countries all these regional powers want to do. you know and again having served in
10:56 pm
the u.s. government even the u.s. government can't tell its partners what to do i think there's often a myth about how. strong powers can snap their fingers and lesser powers but of a they won't because they bait to their own logics and their own sense of self interest but our sense and this what the report that we should not long ago which was not about is good that was really about southwest syria where we've seen this confrontation between israel and against iran and its allies and south with syria and beyond in that situation russia does have real influence because it controls to large extent the skies over syria and so israel it would have a hard time flying over syria if russia didn't want it to do so and it also has it does have influence and leverage over and again not total leverage but some influence over the regime over iran over hezbollah sort of they would listen to what russia has to say even though they may not always follow what it has to say but today there is no actor in syrian this is you know something i think russia
10:57 pm
wanted to achieve there's no actor in syria that has as many and strong contacts with all. players all belligerents you mentioned in israel is bola the regime soon regime iran turkey all of them do talk to moscow all of them want to talk to moscow all of them have an interest in preserving good relations with moscow that's not the case with the united states today the united states has obviously strong relations with israel it has and bit relations with turkey it has no relation or better relations with iran has been the regime so so when we say they are in the driver see what we mean is they do have this sort of pivot place this pivotal role and it should be in their interest to prevent things from getting out of and as they almost did a few weeks ago between israel and iran president putin appears to stepped in and told people to calm down but it might be better certainly for syria we would argue be better also for russia's interests and for others to step in sooner. to try to
10:58 pm
make sure that miscalculation or misunderstandings don't blow up. probably not even intentional but just blow up between the polluter and over whom as we say it's not russia has some influence and some of the average so at the international crisis group previously called for outright u.s. intervention in the syrian civil war do you still feel that at this moment no. i don't think the president has ever called for u.s. intervention and so they live these sisters and i while we're there are you know there was a period of time well what do you have to be specific about being about being involved in the letter of the insurance what action they want a laboratory into trying to do you feel like america should be more involved at that if it already at this point in the syrian conflict. not in the sort of culture to think the u.s. should play a role as others to try to end the conflict that's not trying to put poor fuel on the fire but to try to end the conflict i've said you know in the past i think part
10:59 pm
of the part of the mistake said this publicly about the policies that that i was involved in is that there was an inability to separate the humanitarian goal which is to lessen if not end the suffering of the syrian people for the political goal which was to get rid of a sudden i think that goal should have been put aside in the focus should have been on what do we need to do to end the suffering of the syrian people that should have been the priority from early on and you know that was not the case so today my our organizations are going our mandate is not about regime change it's not about you know getting rid of us it's about how do we end the violence between among all sides and that's why we do call in russia which has a role to play which has influence to bear to play the role of the u.s. also should not be what we made clear is that the u.s. should not use syria as a battlefield against iran or or whether it's a battlefield to try to stop iran or to block iran that should not be the goal the goal today and i believe this for some time early on should be to end the violence
11:00 pm
and the conflict and that's for the political issues to the side for now but you know you have hundreds of thousands of syrians who died as a result of this conflict they should be the ones who are thinking. ok rob we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to robert malley obama administration's advisor on the middle east and president on their national crisis group about the situation in syria at state with us.
