4:02 pm
i'm going to do now well not. yes. just kill him if one means a leftist. but he's just one tokyo plant it. could go to. his work was because did it because he didn't seem quite a control freak i forgive you. welcome back to worlds apart but i'm dealing calls professor at the university in seoul now professor lincoln just before the break you commanded donald trump on the
4:03 pm
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 the facts tell or send a question to you is why the donald trump at this point of time has the team to capitalize on these initial diplomatic gains that he actually have. negotiators diplomats who would take this initial success and develop it into something more concrete as well and you're shaking is going to be a tough this is a major program because it's an open secret that president despises his diplomats and well i would say is if it is a largely. kate is there for over a last year or so a lot of highly skilled people have left the state department and. centuries
4:04 pm
now the door have a single person who has experience of negotiating there's a lot. more people in the state department carry in team and you commerce it's a big problem how well they're going to develop is a great strategic success the it certainly did it was a strategic success it she of by presidents diplomacy i will be skeptical because. of very good very tough negotiators they don't change their teams for years for many years to come some of people have been negotiating visit americans for twenty years and this people more 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 russia for eurasia now you mentioned both russia and china and i think up until recently at least both
4:05 pm
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 all for 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 being the charm for ministration to secure these deal for the benefits of global security i'm very i'm we have to tread very carefully here and not see you 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 her marriage is something abstract but they argued just a few minutes ago. in korean peninsula is an interest of russia because russian interest and for basically showing
4:06 pm
a centrist. very simple cost russia warms. second russia of one's status quo sought russia of once didn't carry. if mr trump if president did mean business if he was really gory to deliver a strike against moscow a year m.s.e. war not their city yukio but a mess of war was the most likely outcome therefore any kind of reduction in tension is a good news for russia however talking about a possible negotiation than moscow well until recently it would be a good idea to have cells and summit or say assignments be to be in north korean leaders and u.s. president or western leaders it would be a good idea to have them in russia maybe there's a city of moscow where you are still because of on the full seated tour they can be sure or maybe in my native fitters be a way not maybe not moscow but not now. said truth is right now russian issue is
4:07 pm
very big in the united states probably it has never been the case that russia attracted so much of the favorable attention well since maybe as a hundred fifty years since their anticommunist here and the 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 occasionally to sort out the situation because well sometimes russia would be happy to see americans in trouble but in cary is such troubles very easy can develop into russia or trouble there is that 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
4:08 pm
stake at this. meeting and do you see it as a stepping stone towards a meeting with trump or does it have a value in and of itself a larger disturbing story because surprisingly scarier is it generally very pro american country even as a political force is the shoes 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 mount a less inspired of all this right now not scary and. in the same boat because in the long run. a nuclear weapons constitute a mess of denture for the soul scary and but it's for maybe in the long run maybe the end when we are talking decades right now as a major threat south korea faces is a strat or the military operation initiated by the united states can easily
4:09 pm
escalate into a war and if we have a war it will be lost and so i was scared eons who are going to die in large numbers so right now sal scary and 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 kim turned 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 south koreans but in the short iran it was probably mr trump so what i see is that they're basically playing together the most and 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 cells kerry and president has very little freedom of action it can not the. problem is any kind of economic assistance to last year
4:10 pm
because such assistance would be a violation not only of the u.s. borders say but of the internationally approved sanctions it's not an issue to talk about as a military issues 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 nato of exclusive american interests so basically if they can smile discuss the quality of meat and barbecue or maybe approve some kind of nice cultural exchanges you know. peg and or fight or so and you know all of this go in here they can not discuss anything serious so it's the lychee of you will be a stepping stone to this summit be to be in trump and team simon to be sure you really can't. pass for future negotiations and ration and exchanges
4:11 pm
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 between 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 the 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
4:12 pm
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 field secret channels of communication between. have always been at the racial of what i'm seeing they not only count talk they have been talking for all this time and the decision to include last year. is largely done because first of all. diplomats vaunts to use the two drives of h. and united states and they also want to create sort of if you like its front there
4:13 pm
is a south korean government because for the time being as they have set for boss north korea and possible the media theater ration by the americans can see a greater threat then a city tickle possibility or 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 block to give some kind of to make some gestures to emphasize the significance of the cells carry that's to shore 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 essentially. the 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
4:14 pm
with the new. morris is that a form of had risks on the part of the trumpet 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 some. variable now for the americans and american administration and maybe american diplomacy to emphasize their significance and this is why such an unprecedented measure was taking basically americans 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 and
4:15 pm
also sending a somewhat similar see you know 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 that all of the threads we are going to fight one another and that changed nuclear strikes because go to a can is or do go nuclear eventually but for the time being our major problem is across the ocean let's act i guess well professional and cough 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.
4:16 pm
this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic 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 the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end it has no that's the end and then i conclude that it used to sadden.
4:17 pm
itself it's. the. combination of. things very artful policy towards russia where he's established a great relationship with food and they still are an american mistakes i think in dealing with russia well if this relationship between russia and china to become. quite a lot can be quite thick and would be quite difficult to undermine. 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 on the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening time so it will go up was it it was

league of the at. least still. more than five thousand people leave syria's militant controlled enclave of eastern guta with many more expected to escape to safety by the end of the first day. but frankly. should go away it should sure to be case defense secretary resorts to under plan on taking language as tensions between london and moscow increase over the poisoning of former spy sergei script pal and his daughter. while the investigation into the poisoning has so far produced no concrete evidence and here . kate police say it could take weeks more to establish a suspect. iconic ukrainian lawmaker
4:21 pm
obliged to stop showing claims the current government was behind the deadly made town square shooting in kiev in twenty fourteen. hours a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me becky arun good to have you with us this hour now we have a significant development from the syrian enclave of eastern ghouta more than five thousand civilians have a scapes the rebel controlled area of a humanitarian corridor or established by russia and syria these are live pictures from the area we're showing you right now on your screen is the russian defense ministry center for reconciliation in syria say up to thirteen thousand people are expected to reach safe zones by the end of the day the humanitarian corridors were
4:22 pm
set up as part of an effort to implement a u.n. resolution ceasefire in syria however civilians rarely use them with reports of militants taking hostages and opening fire on those attempting to flee the syrian government zante terror operation have has forced many militants to cut deals to let civilians go in exchange for their own safety. and i've got my uncle and i what they need in their houses of civilians are living good right now by the humanitarian corridor you can see behind me the passage has been recently opened by syrian forces it's allowing crowds of civilians many of them are children to leave them battle area people are coming from different districts of many civilians were telling about the suffering they face for militants also said they were previously prevented from fleener. it's in goose or which is close of the capital damascus came under rebel control back in twenty twelve since then government forces have been trying to recapture the area and fighting intensified
4:23 pm
there last month the militants have been driven into three pockets with syrian government's now holding large parts of the territory but the situation for civilians trapped in the embattled areas remains dire people have been caught in the crossfire and are suffering shortages of food and supplies. the defense secretary has told russia to quote shut up and go away over moscow's alleged poisoning of former spice square powell and his daughter as the diplomatic fallout over the instant continues. this is absolutely atrocious treasures and outrageous what russia to insult free we have responded to thought frankly russia should go away should shut up we've certainly raised eyebrows because it begins to feel a little bit surreal when this kind of language starts being used in this kind of
4:24 pm
language comes into play especially if you're expecting to be taken seriously certainly in the world of diplomacy and major world politics it's not every day that we hear someone tell another major world player to go away and shut up well also in that speech the u.k. defense secretary gavin williamson was asked whether he thinks the relationship between the u.k. and russia has reached cold war proportions again he has gone on to say that he hasn't used the term cold war but he described it as exceptionally exceptionally chilly certainly it will probably continue to be that with this kind of terminology being thrown around williamson also went on to really blame russia for quite a few events around the world let's take a listen to what is also clear is that the kremlin is rekindle the international ruble using its growing hybrid capabilities to undermine and influence
4:25 pm
countries room for world u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson today talked about how there is quote overwhelming evidence that russia was behind this cripple incident although however when he also was asked about his certainly a certainty on a scale from one to ten he described it to be at nine point nine nine hundred eight and he talked about russia being full of smug sarcasm we also heard from nato secretary general talk about this whole ordeal let's take a listen to those i'm afraid the evidence is overwhelming that it is russia and something by the way in the kind of smug sock stick. sports but what we've heard from the russians to to me indicates their fundamental goal detract to ensure they complete against the backdrop of a reckless cut them all russian behavior. over many years well we saw some reactions from france as well yesterday they were saying it's too early to make any
4:26 pm
rash decisions today they seem to support london with the understanding that there is no other option in terms of what's going on we do know that the reason may the british prime minister is in cells read today to meet with members of the public we do know that the u.k. has plans to provide a sample of the nerve agent that has been discussed in rebel in connection to this poisoning to the organization for the prague bishan of chemical weapons which russia is also a part of but it's not providing a sample to russia despite requests and messages multiple times from russia throughout this past week to be able to analyze this nerve agent and try to assess what exactly it is and we do know of course the foreign ministry in russia has been saying they would like to know what the substance is we've heard from foreign minister sergei lavrov said russia that russia will definitely retaliate in connection to the expulsion of the twenty three russian diplomats certainly a quid pro quo scenario is sort of traditional in these kinds of scenarios but he
4:27 pm
did underscore that russia will continue to use diplomatic language germany france america and the u.k. have now issued a joint statement on the poisoning which they say was highly likely to have been orchestrated by the kremlin it calls on russia to all questions that have been post concerning the incident in seoul sprit it also requests that provides the organization for the preservation of chemical weapons with information about the navi talking nerve agent program. let's discuss the issue now with our guest live to marcelo fowler journalist on communications professor mr fowler welcome to the program it's good to have you with us how would you describe your case defense secretary a statement aimed at russia he told moscow to shut up and go away. was really unusual and very very tough usually do you don't behave in such
4:28 pm
a way. diplomatic a first so there is clearly a willingness to increment the pressure on russia and to prevent also this so-called russian phobia because it's clearly that many years from now every opportunity has been taken by the u.k. government but usually about the western countries to attack occurred with him and of course to attack president putin but in this case the evidence is somehow ws. we don't have clear evidence that the moscow is behind this attack in newquay meanwhile boris johnson as we just heard claims smoke russian response is that is enough to link moscow to the poisoning do you think you should be taking a more diplomatic approach considering its position. yes i mean when you make these claims this kind of of statement you want to have a fight you want to crease the palm he want to to be put. under pressure
4:29 pm
and those this is the fine this is the real point why you don't try to underlies what happened and why don't you try to ask moscow for explanations you merely point to moscow said you are guilty and telling that ninety ninety nine percent moskos is guilty this is not enough to say that is hundred percent guilty and if we recalled what happened in iraq with saddam hussein what happened with the olympic games recently some kind of a creationist that seem to be certain without doubts that and then at the end they were not at all reliable and i guess this should suggest a more cautious approach from all parts involved involved in this in this case now there are now calls for russia to provide the i.p.c. w. with details of its novacek program now the same time britain has been included
4:30 pm
russia in the investigation which it's obliged to do how can both countries overcome this standoff on this one. i guess that. the only way is that u.k. should make a step behind and try to have a dialogue with moscow but so far this is not the case i mean if you if you see what's in x. week or next weekend moscow the russians will vote for the president and in a couple of months we'll have the world the football championship in russia and this is these are two events where this is the reason for me clearly the opportunity to put my arm us go under more pressure and i guess that now the pressure will increase instead of having a real dialogue with moscow which is certainly not in the interest of the european union and not in the interest in the interest of the european countries as well marcellus i liked.
