of a pressure of even a blackmail if you wish. this is unfair it creates. unfair position for serbia in comparison with the position of course i will do it in much hope that sensible politicians in europe and uni i'm. sorry sink this condition and look for a negotiated compromise between the base in kosovo and serbia compromise we should be adjudicated. ranged by the european union by the offices of european union and as you know at the moment still five member countries of europe union has not recognized of all and i do believe that if such a compromise is not to reach you will not have. a unanimous knowledge moment of independence and membership of course so and you know if you're going by all member states all right we're going to take

a short break right now we're back we'll continue talking to young college former president of the the wrang general assembly and foreign minister of the czech republic discussing kosovo's prospects of becoming the member states. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the guy even saw. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i

want to show what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance with. the base of. the new global economic war is i'm phoning in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to access education low its high education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold under snot just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you good. luck with this also. couldn't you. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now in an extremely more high education but the new global economic

war. is a global trade war imminent if donald trump follows through on increasing tariffs and ending existing trade deals it seems very likely after all this was at the very center of his campaign for the presidency it was a promise he made to space to make america great again.

now we're back with young former president alpha here and general assembly and acts foreign minister of the czech republic discussing the cost of us aspirations for even membership mr cullen like you said in the first part of our program do you recognize kosovo but lots of e.u. members didn't romania didn't graze didn't spain didn't how is brussels supposed to go about. talking about the future for casa well you know in addition to countries you mentioned also cyprus and slovakia. didn't recognize the independence of kosovo and it's understandable if you look at those five countries a common denominator between them. sizable minority on that territory and

therefore an obvious fear. that recognition of kosovo under the current conditions may incur reach those minorities to follow their example and declare independence and i think spain today facing the problem of catalonia and maybe in the future also with basques. is fully aware of these dangers and may be one of the countries. pressurising but i also was to find a mall i mean a bow and more acceptable way of discussing the future of kosovo at the moment i do not see. most countries would join the european union fulfilling the conditions put forward by you know puny in. acknowledging the independence of course or something which i fully understand. is

unacceptable to them and i agree with them because i'm not judging the meditates case and the boss than the mutual history of the two countries but the actual declaration of independence in my opinion was a volley of international law and i do not see why member countries will do you know the union from said via all the way to my best friend slovakia. spain romania etc why they should accept. that volley of international can take place in one part of europe and would be told and so it would be condemned in other parts of. example in asia. the what do you think made u.k. germany and france so enthusiastic about an independent kosovo what's it for

them. well that's a very good question but i think you should address such a question to the president that they've. found but it's and and gemini. in the past of course germany. has been known to support the. but a couple for me because they've supported the independence of slovenia and croatia . maybe they do believe that. such you are not so declarations of independence is an expression of some of the principle of so did the nomination which is an important international a principle but if penalty be. you'll just to justify. other forms of. international law i think that.

colonial formal call neo polish like united kingdom and france the history of difficult negotiations of independence of the former colonies should be. that. simplify. solutions can create problems. for the future major problems as you know see in syria and the middle east that's at the so i would appeal to those guns is no to go for the easy simple solution which is to support you know throughout accreditation of independence of kosovo. the e.u. was look warm to the idea of scottish and cataloging and independence even though they want about it the peaceful democratic way it rustles throws all its support behind close. why is that why is cost of us independence better than scottish or castle on. a very good question that goes back to what i. it create

a precedent so you conseco that. something is good in kosovo but for barcelona. but for for me. or whatever. i did the principle is good all the principle is bat has to be a apply equally and that is not being done this is what the protests today the number of. members of parliament of the czech the czech republic and another prominent figures. at the moment signing a petition addressed to the czech government asking the czech government to denounce to us that decision of two thousand and eight to recognize the. declaration of independence of kosovo let's go back

to the negotiating table. let's drop all do preconditions and find an acceptable compromise but it is. a strong autonomy of course so always in the region of what it is independence but we said in concessions to serbia. and so on it's very important not only focus of all but in my opinion also for the future of gazza lonia. i listened to the leaders of the the general government of qatar lonia i fully see the argument and i think the first response so despite his government by sending. it brutally suppressed peaceful demonstrations peaceful. expression of will of they got their own eons to. vote. could really help that those who declare

their preference for independence but as a result of the brutal police action to support for the independence only increased this is not the way to find a solution this is a way to create conflicts problems and tensions and that's bad not only for spain it's bad for the balkans and it's bad for europe. so the recent you western balkans strategy includes kosovo as a potential member but the cost of our president toci says terry's no clear path written out for his country this do you really want kosovo as a member that's that's a very good question event much depends how you define the e.u. . the e.u. as a entity of twenty eight countries they don't have a consensual view on this question because as you know five member states have

consistently there for you to recognize the independence of kosovo and therefore they would hold if a membership of course or indeed a union under the got it going to shouldn't and as you know at the moment only a hundred and sixteen countries member states of the united nations have agreed to the independence of kosovo and even that took almost any is for many years it was less than one and less than fifty percent of the membership of the un . so this is a major problem focal so and a future but it's also a problem for the utopian union european union should be honest and consistent and follow its own good idea. so rhythm a nation older way to respect for international law respect for. united nations security council to vote for their fall and the respect for the final act of

posting. had of a year rule of law mission and cost of the markham simmons recently resigned saying he doesn't want to take part in a farce now the mission has been there for years but without much success in establishing the rule of law but carrefour and party really do that in any country no. foreign entity couldn't do that unless it's a foreign entity. representing some kind of buying power some kind of power which is stronger than the poem is sort of the government of that of that country. if the country is independent if it's to be truly so it and then a foreign entity cannot impose its own perception of rule of law on the other hand foreign entities. to help to establish rule of law.

and should play a positive role in such procedure but only in cooperation with the government of the country but the parliament of the country in my own opinion also with major n.g.o.s and other board is that at present in the public opinion i just wanted to tell you that it strikes me like caso is being treated by the west as a little baby i mean their attitude is a little arrogant and they're like on a civilising missions for us the nato the war for it but it stay to make sure cos the worst and misbehaved un mission ruled it then in back to independence is still doing the legal words economic worth the security work for ca so i mean how long is caso going to be a toddler also teaching kosovo as a country if it should be. automatically loyal to those go forces which helped to. declare you know its own independence i reach hold

them to. be divided from from serbia. but as i believe that those are all. just let it be for no this is a time at the time of us minister of foreign affairs. it was called check the peace initiative which was aiming not only at the end to end the bombardment of former yugoslavia including kosovo but it wanted to create conditions for negotiated peace we should ensure stability in kosovo and the former yugoslavia and this let in fact will help to let there be not only to the ceasefire and declaration of peace it also led to the united nations security council twelve forty four and i think we should return back to the conditions expressed in that in that the resolution which

is still being violated and that means. also why he's being treated differently from from serbia i think is wrong all right mr khan thank you for this interview we're talking to young former president of the un general assembly and the foreign minister of the czech republic discussing whether kosovo has become a self-reliant states ten years after declaring independence that's it for this edition of so call see you next time.

done some is not is not quite place is called good country. try. to administer a live bunch of family as well before the storm. as it goes but that's a disco that is going. to stay the culture. of took over the sure it was. sharkey of christmas. pulling in just little and bias from a fellow muslim of oneself to be too little. mostly albums forceful. play almost religious in a bubble for the first the last second hour that john fell on based on the much less credit card number can i do not the last i would miss the lightest contact with matter how anomaly came. from a show. true fuck mom i can only use almost feel now words to fuck

a moment. could not see this or to my soul enough hours ago showed me it was a supermodel to go to the cities in the my car voices in this or the one of the street the. cinema large over you know the lobsters. the serious ones where. the legacy of the communist era has left i'm assuming a lot of of the legacy waste as well i'm assuming again from my understanding of the soviet era that there was much more of a culture of our reuse and not throwing things away that i think of a society that emerged out of that tends to reject so it's a matter of moving back to that.

this is. a church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not. highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system do that themselves as the. this baby and. this on march eighteenth vote with your remote. for special coverage of the russian presidential election exit polls opinions real

time results monitoring and much more. headlines on r.t. international u.s. senators are calling for a strategic dialogue with moscow after president putin recently unveiled russia's latest nuclear weapon. president slaps tariffs on steel and other mean human imports raising the specter of a global trade war with other powers now vowing retaliation. and circle for. after terrorists once again shelled civilians trying to escape the rebel held syrian enclave of eastern kentucky. friday world like you said lines live here on r.t.

international welcome to the program senators are urging washington to engage in dialogue with moscow to minimize the risk of conflict they've written a letter to the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson here is an extract. a u.s. russia strategic dialogue is following president putin's public address on march the first when he referred to several new nuclear weapons russia was reportedly developing including a cruise missile and the nuclear underwater drone which are not currently limited to but the new start treaty and would be destabilizing if deployed on the teaser jacqueline virgo joining me live now in studio to discuss this further some are asking you know what's problem to the senators to write this letter some people are already saying it will once putin unveil those big guns it's prompted some to potentially change tack your thoughts yeah i mean that really the theme that on march first when putin came out and unveiled all of this he really did sort of hit his target of getting people to wake up and listen finally and within the letter

it's urging tillerson to begin strategic strategic talks with russia immediately without taking any pause there but it's also chock full of warnings and accusations when it comes to russia as well touching on everything from you know russia's involvement in syria to the ever present accusation of russia having interfered in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election and there's also the accusation that russia you know is in violation of the i.n.f. treaty which russia did not but the thing is it's clear that the u.s. is worried about russia what about what sort of power they represent but the fact is russia has also been concerned for quite a while when it comes to actions that the west has been taking not the least of which being you know washington's expanding deployment of missile defense systems they have them in alaska they have them in california also nato is continuous expansion into eastern europe they of course. are are ready present in romania and

poland and what may have been the straw to break the camel's back here meant for cli would be in early february we saw the u.s. come out with their new nuclear response review and in their their they expanded what they could be using nukes. response towards that could be also not on nuclear attacks that they would respond with nuclear force so that's something that's really been worrying everyone for quite a while and especially russia in the balance of power in the world and putin himself probably said it most clearly on march first during his address when he was saying that you know maybe the world will not listen to their concerns that they've been saying for quite a while let's take a listen to what he hopes a snake. through russia is a major nuclear power basically nobody wanted to talk to us nobody listened to us so we listen to us now so listen to us now says the russian president and apparently there are a lot of things now to be listening to very much so and people do seem to be

listening at the address putin announced a number of new weapons including the ceremony super heavy i c b m and that's a massive missile that putin says is capable of defeating any defense system in the world and that was among the laser weapons and an underwater nuclear drone and another cruise missile with an almost unlimited range so there's a lot there and involved and it seems that this is finally really gotten the u.s. to sit up and listen as putin was hoping for and they were saying these four senators and the letter they are saying that despite all of this and maybe because all of this we really do need to come to the table and look at what is going to happen in the future in order to avoid conflicts let's take a listen to what they have to say even at the height of cold water the united states in the soviet union were able to engage on matters of strategic stability leaders from both countries believed as we should today that the incredible

destructive force of nuclear weapons is reason enough to make any and efforts to lessen the chance that they can never be used again. and that idea of avoiding conflict really does seem to be something that putin is in agreement with i mean after his announcement everyone sort of exploded that oh my goodness russia has these super powerful weapons what does that mean for everybody else is this a threat but putin himself said that no this is an idea of creating balance in the world and that russia has no plans of attacking anyone unless they or their partners were to be attacked so putin is also striving for peace let's take a listen to what he had to say. when it was we have no plans and have never plans to use this potential to achieve if in cebu or aggressive in rushes in his military power is simply a guarantee for peace plan for it prison. so of course it's no secret that russia u.s. relations have not been the best as of late to put it lightly and we have no idea if this letter will even help or if tillerson would be open to having more

discussion with russia but one can only hope at this point as some have been analysts have been saying it's a shame actually that russia had to unveil these new hypersonic delivery system for nuclear warheads these nuclear power would missiles that can run around the world infinitely but it's a shame that russia had to show these kinds of weapons to actually motivate washington to finally come and do something constructive with dialogue. thank you very much. militants have shelled a refugee convoy trying to leave the rebel and terrorist controlled syrian enclave of eastern ghouta the russian defense ministry has confirmed that several civilians were killed in the household. now taking a look at various factors that are in the russian sponsored evacuation process. according to the russian military the three hundred families had allegedly gathered together to leave eastern ghouta crossing the frontlines is always dangerous so

it's best done when there's a safe window with the agreement of both belligerence the syrian government was waiting for them the rebels this he knew what was going on and shelled them they reportedly shelled the procession of civilians i mean a kilometer before they were out of east ghouta and then to top it all off they shelled the relatives and journalists waiting in the syrian side at the end of the corridor nothing's changed they aren't allowing civilians to leave just like the islam islam is brother and did in aleppo. and then. that started to. be nervous to hear it wouldn't have a. lot of like. what they said about even any is actually in some sour city kind of thing. yet here in washington tell it they don't

mention that they think it's joke like russia has called for these jokes like humanitarian corridors russia needs to just do what the united nations had agreed to and voted on and that is a countrywide ceasefire freeing civilians would mean less human shields it would be a p.r. blow people don't want to stay with the rebels they'll talk say all sorts of horrible things about life and the jihad ists they'll challenge the narrative why let them leave too many problems take also rebel shelling of damascus blind aimless shells peppered damascus daily for years now so many dead and still die. sighing still to die yet you see and he's styria about that in fact you won't hear much of tool they won't admit that rebels are keeping people hostage because that

justifies assad's operation as do those that died in rebel shelling so why mention it it ruins the narrative it's so much simpler when it's all black and white most of the united states press is clearly on the side of the rebels they believe that assad is an evil person who is running an evil regime and they'd like to see it fall and therefore stories about the suffering of syrians in damascus because that rebel argument don't make much impression and occasionally they get through the stories but they are they're not. they're not the overriding story which is that this is a brutal regime that refuses to make compromise and it's leading to a very lopsided aerator also on thursday dozens of aid trucks were prevented from entering eastern ghouta due to the fighting on the ground one u.n.

aid convoy was allowed into the area on monday but they had to leave amid heavy fighting even before the unloading was finished the situation in the area remains dire so billions as we've seen have little chance of escaping. the.
