indorsing the idea of the meeting between kim and tran but i suppose they would be just as happy to have trump threatened in the same manner allows them a chip to russia and china has much more force and much more they're much more capable or biting back and nobody would treat it as a russia would share in session of a saw oh yes it's a kind of a bad example but let's face it north scotti else for dk is same blackmail tactics for me it's a bit funny to see how the same prefix if for decades had been favorable to use of kenya and now he is a same efficiency as isn't it funny to see then basically you're not all blonde tromp try to outdo him john or himself it's a bit for funny all this fayyad funi and all this stuff i don't think is going to be applied on similar scale to any serious op and and north korea is their job but

it's basically steel as a small and very poor company well certainly nobody likes to get a taste of his or her own medicine wrestling off we have to take a very short break now but we will be back in just a few moments stay tuned. combination of. pigs very artful policy. where he used the status of great with the stupid and killing american mistakes i think you do. this relationship between russia and china to become quite quite a lot of the right fit for a difficult topic under. down . not ones out. on

a flimsy often i don't want to have to nights out the definition is enough i'm buying me the next one seeking i need. a shower. and. take in the equal city south can sound good docs to get done and then you get really boring. how we think i'm. young will beat me when i think. i'm going to the well not beach that. sounds our. next guest says a new climbing i love this i know the deep but it got him to say this now tokyo found it is going to happen keep going. the way. his work was because did

a piece of benson call cultural critic from the friends. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the shaper money kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million a one player. pull it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy my great so what more chance with that. and six points.

welcome back to worlds apart with unsealing calls professor at the university in seoul now professor just before the break you commanded donald trump on the success at least initial success of his blackmail tactics. but the news of the last few moments and we are recording this show on tuesday is that donald trump decided to fire his chief diplomat secretary of state to back still or send my question to you is what the donald trump at this point of time has the team to capitalize on these initial diplomatic gains das he actually have. negotiated the diplomats who would take this initial success and develop it into something more concrete. and you're shading is going to be a tough this is a major program because it's an open secret that president trump despises his diplomats and well i would say is the feelings are largely large kate

therefore will last say a year or so a lot of highly skilled people have left the state department and essentially is now the door have a single person who has experience of negotiating with his and. moss people in the state department kerry and. it's a big problem how well they're going to develop is a great strategic success the it's admitted it was a strategic success of by president's diplomacy i am a bit skeptical because mosconi else are very good very tough negotiators there's a door change there for us for many years to come some of people have been negotiating visit americans for twenty years and this people. all the big points and probably will take advantage of it so well it's probably good news because if everything because becomes

a mess it will be bad news not only for the united states not only for mosconi it will be bad news for sellers carrier for chan and of course for that russian for eurasia now you mentioned both russia and china and i think up until recently at least both of them have expressed cautious endorsement of this initiative for you know that moscow has even gone as far as to suggest that this summit may take place in moscow that offer a i think was downplayed later on in the kremlin but i think it's still on the table do you think there is any chance of either russia or china stepping into the void and how pink it sounds like ministration to secure these deal for the benefit of global security i'm very i'm we have to tread very carefully here not to invite any accusations of collusion but at the end of the day i think we would all agree that you know the peace on the korean peninsula is in the best interest of humanity isn't it not only humanity home energy is something abstract but they have argued

just a few minutes ago. in korean peninsula is an interest of russia because russian interests and for basically cheney a centrist a very simple cost russia warms. second russia of one's status quo sought russia of once didn't parity. if mr trump if president did mean business if he was really going to deliver a strike against moscow here m.s.e. war not their city who korea will but a mess of war was the most likely outcome there for any kind of reduction in tension is a good news for russia however talking about a possible negotiation for moscow well until recently it would be a good idea to have more. sells kadian summit or c. assignments a b. to b. in north korean leaders and u.s. president or western leaders it would be

a good idea to have them in russia maybe the necessary in moscow where you are still because of on the full seated tour you can be sure or maybe in my native petersburg why not maybe not moscow but not now. said truth is right now russian issue is very big in the united states probably it has never been the case that russia attracted so much unfavorable attention well since maybe as a hundred fifty years since their anti communists fear a communist scare saw it to be probably a good idea if russia is too much involved in this negotiations not now in the long run yes but now it's probably safer to just avoid maybe a. little sort of the situation because well sometimes russia would be happy to see americans in trouble but in kerry is such troubles very easy can develop into russia or trouble there is an actual commitment from kim jong un to having this

summit with south korean leader president. in the next month and if that happens that would also be i suppose a major breakthrough the third such summit in history. who do you think has more at stake at this meeting and do you see it as a stepping stone towards meeting with trump or does it have a value in and of itself a larger disturbing story because surprise india. is a very pro american country even as a political forces used to be entero kind of the past like say supporters of the current president they're much much more favorable about the united states now beach however does not mean that they like a by president however amount or less inspired of all this right now nor scary and. in the. same boat because in the long run. nuclear votes constitute a mess of denture for the sour scary and bad it's for maybe in the long run maybe

the end when we are talking decades right now their major threat south korea faces is a threat or a military operation initiated by the united states easily escalate into of war and if we have a war it will be lost and sour scatty and who are going to die if he large numbers so right now the an interest is to reduce tensions do i understand you correctly that you're essentially suggesting that south korea feels donald trump a little bit more than it fears can turn on yes as an immediate threat yes it's a tactical threat it's a long run of course kim jong il is a problem for sales guardians but in the shorter on it was probably mr trump so i seeing that they're basically playing together more since i was just reduce the tension to create the impression of there are now more scatty and are ready to talk and there are ready to make concessions and they are indeed actually ready to talk

and indeed are ready to make concessions talking about the north south korean summit unfortunately cell scary and president has very little freedom of action it can not the problem is any kind of economic assistance to last year because such assistance would be a violation not only of the us borders cibot of the internationally approved sentients it's not an issue to talk about as a military should because it's going to be blocked by the united states as well and of course everything related to the nuclear problem is exclusively exclusively an area where all of the exclusive american interests so basically if they can smile discuss the quality of meat and barbecue or maybe approve some kind of nice cultural exchange. and you know all of. in here they can not discuss anything serious saw is that laci if you will be

a stepping stone to some it be to be in trump and team simon to be sure you really can't. pass for future negotiations and ration and it changes between. having said that i think what it least i find very fascinating is this new role the south koreans found themselves in because they're essentially now acting as messengers been pyongyang and washington rather than you know being a separate party to the conflict and i think that's that's a very interesting development i don't think we've ever had. south korean officials communicating to the americans what do you north koreans want do you see any do you see that as a positive development for the careen negotiations because i suppose that when you act as a not a necessarily as a mediator but at least as a go between in the your optics shift

a little bit and i think you you try to prepare the base for a compromise a little bit more than the you would if you were acting in your own capacity it dawned they would try really hard to prepare a base for compromise because if shooting starts it really is a subtle study as who are going to die in large numbers including a lot of people in the top political idiot so they're working hard on board and talking about their role of digits into this uprising and it's also unnecessary because bourse norsk audience and the americans perfectly kep about the things themselves and contrary to what most people suspect this kind of claim to stein on the official sea could cut channels of communication between. have always been at the racial of whatever. see they not only count talks they have been talking for all this time and the decision to include moscow here. is largely done

because first of all. diplomats want to use the two drives of h. and united states and they also want to create sort of if you like it's front business so it's kadian government because for the time being as they have set for bourse north korea and possible media theater ration by the americans can see a greater threat then a city to kill possibility of all via wars war between themselves which is not going to happen anytime soon so they want to sort of you united front and i merican all civil bleich to give some kind of to make some gestures to emphasize the significance of the cells carry that's true sure that basically it's normal about playing some games behind their back but professor link i think it was reported in the new york times just there the other day that. south korean officials asserting not only is that mass injures between pyongyang and washington but the sensually.

americans are making them play the role of spokespeople because at the end of the day if it was a south korean official who announced the willingness to negotiate with with it with the north sea is that a form of had risks on the part of the trump ministration or simply he's a whole lot of knowledge about how the diplomatic niceties are supposed to work out because i think it's also pretty unprecedented to have a north korean official to communicate the will of the american president to the world. it's exactly what they have just set. are valuable now for their medical and american administration and maybe american diplomacy to emphasize their significance and this is via such an. then to measure was taking basically americans are sending a signal to saul you are part of the team you're probably abject you really can do

very little by the take you very seriously and you're going to give you a lot of extra rights because your part of the team and basically ignore scotty as also sending a somewhat similar signal look the boss i afraid of this strange guy is the vital house is in our joint interest to reduce the tension for the time being maybe in twenty years there was a thread we are going to fight one another and that changed nuclear strikes because got balls so i was going to make an easy to go nuclear venture but for the time being our major problem is across all show let's act well professor line calls i guess you can find a silver lining even in the darkest cloud and if trump's unpredictability provides for this bonding experience between the two koreas so be it anyway we have to leave it there i really appreciate your being on the show today and to our viewers please keep the conversation going in our social media pages as for me hope to see you

again same place same time here under worlds apart. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times. opposite it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecans oh and modigliani i can't boards unsold inside this warehouse that's

where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet because they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. there's nobody that's keeping goober is a sure commie are all working for below minimum wage at the end of the day if you factor in the ecological devastation of dancing chicken effect and all the cruelty eggs cool escapes this nightmare we call post-industrial is post ironic post.

fantasy sation and infantile ization narcissistic cause i reale. combination of a very artful policy towards russia where he used the steps of great relationship with food and an american mistakes i think you. can live this relationship between russia and china to become. quite a longing to be close to the movie great difficult to undermine.

britain only us sick use russia of breaching the chemical weapons convention not an emergency un security council session over the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter. the u.k. government concluded that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless act we haven't seen anything but highly likely as of yet the british prime minister revealed her reprisals expelling twenty three russian diplomats even. police are yet to announce any specifics and. also coming up in the program more claims that the underworld in berlin is undermining the city's police force with criminal in fulfilling its rights.

twenty four hour news live from our international news center this is our team my name's unit o'neill welcome to the program our top story the u.k. government has accused russia of breaching the international chemical weapons convention the statement came meeting of the un security council called by london over the poisoning of russian double agent surrogate script and his daughter in britain last week. the u.k. government concluded that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless act we haven't seen anything but highly likely as of yet we have concluded that mr scruby pro and his daughter were poisoned with a nervy shock a military grade nerve agent of a type developed by russia but if britain is so confident that it was not

a truck gassed then that means they have the chemical formula samples and the ability to produce it the united states believes that russia is responsible for the attack on two people and the united kingdom using a military grade nerve agent. we demand that material proof be provided before making any accusations against us in this high profile case. we requested the russian government to provide an explanation by the end of tuesday the thirteenth of march on how this russian produce nerve agent could have been deployed in salzburg. they provided no credible explanation goodwood we are ready for open and constructive cooperation within the framework of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we don't speak the language of ultimatums and we won't allow anyone to speak to us this way moscow sais that britain also blocked a russia drafted statement out the un security council that urge for a more thorough investigation or caleb maupin explains the home events unfolded at

the united nations. i'm sure is in serious breach of a chemical weapons convention through its failure to declare the navi short program now the u.k. representative who called the emergency meeting was then followed up by the u.s. representative nikki haley now nikki haley not only made reference to allegations against russia about the recent incident but she further fit it into a wider narrative a growing concern in all of this dangerous and destabilizing activity is russia. russia failed to ensure syria destroyed its chemical weapons program russia killed the joint investigative mechanism when it found the side liable for chemical attacks the credibility of this council will not survive if we fail to hold russia accountable in response to the heated words from the united states and the united kingdom we heard from the russian ambassador pointed out that russia has actually given up its chemical weapons and that the o.p.c. w.

has confirmed that russia no longer possesses chemical weapons from there he invoked the memory of when colin powell representing united states in dressed that very body the u.n. security council holding vials of powder that he said were chemical weapons from iraq he reminded the council and that there seems to be a history of rather unsubstantiated allegations against different countries regarding chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction from the united states and the u.k. . we are living in a very special time in front of our eyes incredible things are happening the process of replacing the presumption of innocence with the presumption of guilt has taken place in this criminal law principles being transferred into international relations and void as an experienced chemist has talked about crimes committed by russia we've known for years that for you in order to determine the guilty party no investigation is needed today the best kind of proof is suspicion it's no longer

necessary to show to the council why. cubes with an unknown one substance in it it's enough to send a letter displaying an egregious attitude towards a sovereign state from there the russian ambassador went on to call for a thorough investigation of the incident and determine exactly who is to blame of what happened and he called for this to be done through the existing international mechanisms to find out who is absolutely responsible and to reassure the security council that russia was more than happy to cooperate with this proper investigation to determine who is responsible for the attack well according to the rules of the international organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the o.p.c. w. if any state believes that another country might have used chemical weapons it has to provide all necessary evidence within ten days after the request the experts we spoke to believe it's not russia but rather the u.k. which has broken the rules the o.p.c. debbie has got set procedures in place that need to be followed through with us and

those are not being followed. those procedures investigation and formal steps are not being followed and from my understanding russia has offered to jointly cooperate but but they would like a formal request and they would like samples in order to do the analysis which makes complete sense to me and why wouldn't you want to cooperate together sometimes if you're trying to hide something or to shift the narrative in certain direction and maybe you don't want to cooperate it's unfortunate but i i do not think this looks very professional of the u.k. and yeah they're not following the conventions you've got set procedures in place and they're just not being followed or kind of a complete disregard to international law a rule of law or rule of agreements that are in place. the u.n. security council meeting comes after allegations from britain's prime minister treason may on russia's alleged involvement in the poisoning of former spy service cripple his daughter make claims that a soviet era nerve agent was used in the attack and announced reprisal moves

against moscow they include the expulsion of twenty three diplomats the suspension of all. revoking an invitation for the russian foreign minister to visit britain treason may also announce an updated sanctions bill against moscow and that m.p.'s and members of the royal family will not attend the football world cup in russia this summer mr speaker it was right to offer russia the opportunity to provide an explanation but their response has demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events. they have provided no credible explanation that they could suggest they lost control of the agent no explanation as to how this agent came to be used in the united kingdom no explanation as to why russia has an undeclared chemical weapons program in contravention of international law. well moscow has called the u.k.'s measures

a crude provocation an annoyance that there would be counter measures the u.k. knows it has damning evidence of russia's guilt level submitted to the o.p.c. w. the investigation into the attack on the former russian intelligence agent and his daughter is ongoing and there are still many unanswered questions as are d.s.w. hawkins explained and attack by the kremlin on u.k. soil for downing street it seems the case is all but closed russia is the culprit no questions or other. as the prime minister taken the necessary steps to make a formal request for evidence from the russian government given the gravity of the accusations at official request seemed like a reasonable osc but law school though says no such requests were forthcoming we haven't received any official request from london we've told britain we are ready to respond if they file the request instead of filing the official request the u.k.

continues to pull political stunt moscow also said it would cooperate in a joint investigation within o.p.c. w. parameters it seems this offer was unacceptable to the u.k. government. has high resolution trace analysis been run on a sample of the nerve agent no answers from to reason may on that but the prime minister believes there's already enough evidence to make it highly likely this was an attack ordered by the russian state guilty as charged mr script atlantis daughter poisoned with a naughty child a military grade nerve agent developed by russia means motive and opportunity are usually needed to prove criminal guilt the nerve agent livid shock and awe julie used in that attack was actually developed in the soviet union decades ago and the o.p.c. w. officially confirmed that russia had concluded that the. structure of its entire chemical weapons stockpile last year but apparently it was not only russia that had

access the research labs and the scientists working there in his back to start for example which became independent after the break up of the soviet union it was the pentagon that helped to demilitarize the facility it was in that very facility that netted shock was tested so they didn't even last the gobbles up of misrule schools in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. western special services recruited a number of our chemical specialists their names are known they also brought some of those documents and continued research in this area looting in the us in the u.k. thought the results achieved by those countries in creating new poisonous substances that for some reason classified under their common name in the west are confirmed and represented in more than two hundred open sources from nato countries we have all the references we're ready to provide them. how has she responded to the russian government's request for asylum.
