and if greenland. has received orders from iran from russia you know. where ministries hads of intelligence and military services have been actively engaged in making that operation a success. helping people. on the ground. we are laying down foundation of peace. summit talks in sochi the second it's. been happening here and the first one will take place in teheran. i don't have. any dates agreed upon but we will be preparing for that summit anyway take place sometime in the future now. maybe years and then years. it shows through. mass media welcome to ask two questions two questions from

every. country mass media. so. manage this you ok so. introduce yourself but. my question is. it's been said many times that peaceful political settlement process is important but i would like to ask you about the economic process recently russia signed the roadmap. was we didn't make it about construction the constructing the energy infrastructure have there been made any state steps and have they been made by all countries can you speak of. that i said that you signed the roadmap in the beginning

of the year about the energy. infrastructure in syria and i would like to ask if all the participants are taking steps according to that road map. i can't really understand the essence of your question i. would like to know more about the. building if she really cannot be part of. it is a problem certainly not only to solve the crisis we need to make. the lives of normal again and so that's what they have infrastructure and everything is call upon every country of the world to be proactive on the track we should not only pay lip service to play should we wish they should help. but almost no one is helping except for iran turkey and russia. some supplies coming. out of the un but that is not enough at all and certainly we would need more

countries when we work on the rebuilding of this restructuring of syria we sincerely hope that after the protocol processes are you. that probably. pretty good well involve more countries. it. goes to joke of the rooms with. the rest of the russian journalists life and alexander youngish maybe it's not about this meeting per se but it is about the international i already answered this race about the question yesterday and. you're a spokesperson said yesterday that the u.k. will have to apologize now to what kind of apologies are we looking for. they just have to say that they're sorry or maybe some official people or should we resume

our relations. we're not waiting for anyone we just hope that the sober mind would prevail and international relations would not be undermined by their actions. that we've been seen exactly that recently this has to do not only with this cripple case it has to do with many other aspect of international. affairs we need to be within the framework of healthy international relations based on the fundamental laws of international rights and laws that would bring more stable and. flexible situation. but. so long as. i want to rest on here don't mr durrant you don't. know me you know. that and i'm from enron. iran russia and turkey

in sochi and ankara conducted two rounds of the syrian summit trying to solve the issue through political means culture but. the help that these three countries are trying to provide but the west is trying to interfere and disrupt this process all the time what kinds of conclusions did you draw from their it tamps. how did you make to that how did you make that decision. yet you chando us that your stand is a row that. they have not succeeded in interfering our actions. to a level last. one and they've been trying to do that in months. the

government in syria has been trying to help in much areas so that they would roll in the region or dish on the toward like to see care spreading to the benefit of israel and the us you know about all your mouth till today they caused a lot of problems to us yet you know how into the syrian people as well. but they have a lot of. sooty year more on how the very beginning we. are being a lot harder having only one is my mil lot or you care about utilization or one of your terminations are not guided by terrorism and we are welcome to see more countries or we are ready to fight and we are fighting together with the legitimate government of syria how to kill the graphical disposition to germ graphical how i mean my situation should not be changed i mean the country or territorial integrity

should be preserved that's what we agreed upon. and we do hope that those who are hostile to us or just have been planning to drive wage to the body of syria would not succeed. they not be discriminated terrorism across the world very soon we draw on will be secure seymour justice and security that will be happening things to the efforts of the three countries iran turkey russia these other countries which are contributing to an increased security in the region you talk provoke with. almost all muslims this. of course the territorial integrity of syria is very important to us. there are certain circles that divided this territory between themselves.

and we are not going to go for that but this is not serious not it's not a serious approach the syrian people need the price at very high price a place where. but terrorism is there not to lose this opportunity to very advantage over the terrorists should not be used against our country we cannot agree to that. there is no other side there is no other country that could be compared to our country. are in a joint border is over nine hundred kilometers so all the attacks and all these attacks are against our country and they did not stop there look at those videos we can even say both on the show was born. there were over one hundred missile attacks. carried out we just

cannot be tolerating bad and you know you know we started this operation against the terrorists. wouldn't you if you were there all of the brain tissue. in this operation all the brain. so that europe was in great now is under way. to go over to the machine to get it done. and you know a liberated two thousand square kilometers as a result of that operation bringing many refugees refugees back to their homes they used to live in refugee camps and now they're back at their holes and similar situation is going to happen in our friends. there's refuges that

fled this territory. and settled in our country god willing they will be with they will come back after we restore the infrastructure but i would like would also like you to know that this process of restoring. the area. and both russia and iran. as three countries as three guarantor countries which started this process in sochi and together we are going to take steps in that direction and move forward we never said that the us to now process i'll turn it to the geneva process you know it's just an additional element if somebody says otherwise no we disagree we just want to see results. we will take necessary steps because we are

we have to do it we are responsible for the situation and we want to see results we want to stop people from dying. all witnessed the events in is good and how children were dying. getting killed we cannot tolerate this. i have a six year old child. and we are all parents. i'm the president of turkey and i cannot tolerate things like that. you just have to be. subtle as humans you can all understand this. you're watching r t international for the past half hour we've been watching that news conference in the turkish capital between the leaders of turkey russia and iran they've been talking about the two day summit where the main focus has been getting to an end game in syria the watchword in mind that over the past seven years of the syrian

conflict they haven't always seen eye to eye on what to do next in trying to solve syria today very much on the same page talk of agreeing to maintain syria's territorial integrity moves forward and trying to get more countries on board to help those who've been suffering in the seven years of the drawn out conflict in syria we got a correspondent in ankara will be pulling together what was said at that summit in the next few minutes or so. our other breaking news this hour the u.k. foreign office says deleted a tweet saying that experts at a british lab had confirmed the nerve agent used in the scribal poisoning case was produced in russia let's get on top of that now our correspondent in westminster because that either has to be a little bit of damage control going on where you are. well call and certainly in the plot of the plot really think ins in this group poll saga and now we're seeing a game of he said she said unraveled including with these deleted tweets that are

certainly raising eyebrows here in the u.k. now the latest that we have is that the foreign office has denied that boris johnson the u.k. foreign secretary confirmed that porton down confirm to him that russia was behind this group poisoning let's take a listen to what he had to say specifically on this on march twentieth. but when i look at the evidence from the people from from portland they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said this they die out. well so that was boris johnson saying that there is no doubt that that was russia behind the poisoning and yesterday things changed a little bit when the chief executive of porton down said something quite different . we. verify the precise source but we provide the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish. that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eat

you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular and their future is but it's not our job to see where actually was much church are typically you will not tell you to look to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that well determining a bit of an inconsistency is not too difficult there with the u.k. foreign secretary saying apparently one thing and then porton down themselves saying something slightly different however to this the foreign office here in london has said that there is no inconsistency according to them they've said quote what the foreign secretary said then and what porton down have said recently is fully consistent with what we have said throughout it is russia that is putting forward multiple versions of events and obfuscating the truth and quote now this gets really interesting because the russian embassy here in the u.k. had asked the foreign office about a certain tweet that they have deleted and we've checked double checked triple checked in the tweet us certainly not there anymore and this is

a tweet dating march twenty second from the foreign office that says analysis by world leading experts at the porton down the board tory made clear that this was a military grade novacek nerve agent produced in russia so now this tweet is gone and this is certainly raising lots of questions about why are these things changing so quickly including on twitter we have seen already as these developments have been coming in reactions on the social media where some people have been calling for boris johnson to resign we do know that the labor party the opposition party here in the u.k. has been saying that challenging boris johnson to really answer the questions over . what exactly it is that he was talking about and to explain himself including from the labor party leader jeremy corbyn who said that this is quite inconsistent and questions that need to be answered so certainly lots of developments will see

what will be happening next. scotland yard said it first they need time this was a professional assassination attempt whoever did it made sure to leave as few traces as possible and it was a geisha or this complexity and size will understandable take some time and we ask for the public's continued support and patience the media didn't need much time pundits for when the whole boring you know investigation part but that's the media no surprise they need their ratings politicians they only needed a week is highly likely russia was responsible to the polls russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder is kate is culpable quarrel is with putin's kremlin and we think overwhelmingly you likely that it was his decision what's remarkable is the detectives silent technical experts silent no

details at all russia is asking for some any information in fact a sample of the nerve agent perhaps so far nothing instead downing street gets down to the punishment with its allies keeping the whole innocent until proven otherwise likely is good is guilty. we are with russia's responsible there is no plausible alternative explanation needed two hundred diplomats expelled by britain myths allies and russia diplomatic relations hate rock bottom and then we get the chemical expertise from. britain's own laboratory we have not verified the precise source you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eight you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the

particular an arab legion is you'd think that would at least slightly embarrassed those shouting loudest about russia's guilt now really it comes down to one particular job certain scientists now porton down say their job is to work out what the substance was never stablished that it is not a chaka matter is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of the program in the soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the movie talks dozens and dozens of different nerve agents have been synthesised not just by russia the head of porton down refused to clarify whether his own lab oratory had its own stockpile for the snow we have anything like that would ever have come from mars or you know leave the four walls of our facilities we deal with a number of very toxic substances as part of the work that we do we've got the

highest levels of security and controls the nuvi chalk formulas have been available in public books for nearly a decade now and pretty much any specialist with solid knowledge of organic chemistry can create it you're going to jewel's if it's really a novacek we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent all the necessary components easily available on the open market this it says does not require sophisticated procedures any specialist nor can a chemist you would be able to make it. the fact that the experts can't determine the russians did it doesn't mean that u.k. authorities will cheat. inge there mantra it is our assessment that russia was responsible for this brazen and reckless act and there is no other plausible explanation remarkable how quickly things escalated and all. that faith based likely assessment. the other developments in the

past few hours the e.u. has rejected a draft proposal by russia for a joint investigation into the poisoning at a meeting of the chemical weapons watch top executives that's wrapped up in the past hour or so brussels also accusing russia of being unwilling to cooperate let's go live to the hague where those talks are taking place our correspondent peter all it has been across that so about an hour since they stopped talking have you been able to glean anything hello. yes will we be finding out what took place this morning we know that the russian permanent representative to the organization for the prayer prohibition of chemical weapons the old p.c. w he put forward a proposition this morning which was for what was called a constructive and civilized investigation we know that was dismissed out of hand by both the british delegation and later in a much more well scathing in far reaching statement by the european union it fell

to the bulgarian ambassador to deliver the statement in it and said that the e.u. didn't agree with the russian proposal also that russia hadn't provided adequate information and details to the united kingdom when it had been asked to do so also that there was concern that russia would walk away from the o.p.c. w there's also criticism of the russian foreign ministry and directly of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov for comments he made about potential. proposals of what could have happened to this clear piles now these statements from the european union well they prompted another statement a response from the foreign ministry in moscow a scathing all of that from them as well. your opinion society just come on people i'm the united kingdom we are sure that russia denied the united kingdom to give any information on the case not really into

discuss this question at all and has. ruled out any possibilities of shardik operations that is one hundred percent lie trum the first. moment in our official diplomatic correspondent and through diplomatic channels via our amber see in a long time and we have tried to maintain contact with our pritish partners. over b. thing this morning took place behind closed doors the media not allowed in there the only information we were able to glean that was going on came from tweets coming out from the the representatives themselves the russian side saying of fourteen nations hard backed their proposal we also heard backing on twitter and online again from the organization for security and cooperation in europe the

o.s.c. they issued statements short statement they were online on social media saying that russia plays a key role and that there was a me for further dialogue but we also heard from a senior figure within uncle of merkel's party in germany the we heard from him in these one of the deputy chairman of the c.d.u. saying that now after this news that porton down was not able to link the chemical agents directly to russia now the onus lay on the united kingdom to provide further evidence that backs up their allegations that it was russia that was behind the poisoning of the skin of poles he said that whatever your opinions on russia international law has to be it. two of the stories here the study international law it would really require it's certainly amongst the nato allies that it followed the united kingdom that london should share with them the extra intelligence that they have that came from a senior figure of course with a. party there was

a statement from the german government as well one of their spokespeople saying that the official german line is they stand with the united kingdom and with the u.k.'s version of events we also heard from a representative from the european commission who said that actually the role of porton down wasn't to determine where this came from in the first place. our understanding is that. the rule of the expert there was to identify the type of agent that was used not steve source of the accident and that's also what the experts have found they did i think a free. agent has to disrupt. what they have to. and for the rest i would refer you to the marsh european council where i think you can see this have taken a clear position. and that's the way it looks here in the hague right now we didn't see the well answers to the many questions that we perhaps hoped we would will be

looking to catch up with the russian permanent representative to the o.p.c. a little later on wednesday perhaps you can fill us in more about what exactly went on here but as it stands at the moment russia put forward a motion this morning for a combined investigation it does seem that that is being dismissed out of hand by the u.k. and the european union. ok four hours of talks but not much gilding thanks very much for that in the hague thanks. well let's get some reaction now from a political commentator and journalist john white into the program. a few things that have been developing in the past few hours so from wind back a little bit if i may first of all that tweet that we talked about a few minutes ago the foreign office tweet that said pull downs lavage confirm the nerve agents origin as russian they say that tweet was a blunder now dissipated how do you read this. well it's worse than our blunder

it's an absolute scandal and it's a scandal which has seen the government's entire narrative since the script of us were poisoned in sorcery and beginning of march unraveling at warp speed i mean this is the biggest and most serious political scandal to go for the u.k. on foreign policy since iraq war though you would never guess it given the the say the lease of jude means stream media coverage of these explosive revelations from the scientists that porton down and the reason that the media coverage has been source of jude is because the media in the u.k. has shamefully been complicit in shipping this narrative and this stampede to judgment that russia was responsible what you think this means for the foreign office then and then the man at the top boris johnson he's not been holding back on what he thinks since day one of this is horrible incident since it first happened but over the years he's been known he will have his mouth off and nothing

particularly happens. well it's not a bill that he's gone conspicuously quiet since the condone scientists shared their judgment and analysis of this narrow region and made the point that the cannot prove that this was a russian engine or this air particular average and immunity from russia in the words of the football song or it's all gone quiet over there where boris johnson and his call the government in the defense secretary are concerned and they're trying to see you know the junior ministers that have been rolled onto the mainstream media to be subjected to what a series of softball interviews by video journalists as you try to she can shift in attitude engaged as they are no in an exercise in crisis in news management they're trying to say that this changes nothing in fact it changes everything and one of the things that should change and should have changed by you know is the employment status of former secretary joyce and he should all fall on his sword long before no

and if we had the fourth estate worthy of the name of our of the of the category of an independent media the would have been clamoring for his resignation but as it as they have been complicit if not the if not keep in shipping this and to russia now to look at picking up of these nineteenth century russia for brick trucks in this mass hysteria up to and including war fever and so this is brought the entire media political establishment into disrepute about o.p.c. w. meeting in the hague britain called the idea of working together with russia on an investigation perverse that was the word that was used the o.p.c. doubling says dialogues a central hall i think a move forward unless people get talking how do you see this playing out now because there was a lot of entrenched positions in the hague over the past few hours. well i think we have to give great credit to the same to support indo in england the british

chemical weapons chemical research laboratory for maintaining their professional integrity and independence avenue though they would have been brought under immense pressure to fall into line with the government's not a to the media narrative on this that russia was responsible and sort this a set of very positive in my view president when it comes to group b. c w because of newdow that he would be placed under a lot of pressure from not only britain but various western countries of the say that he must stand fast with the u.k. why because russia is the officially prescribed enemy of the west among the elites and the west and so the objective with that is to try and make that case among the general population in the west the if you have singularly failed to do sort so the n.p.c. w.r. keno the air determinations which began today in the city please over the following week and i have no doubt that he will wait waits come up with at the temptation that this new region cannot be identified positively as russian or as having

emanated from russia russia's offer of a joint investigation is entirely reasonable under the circumstances indeed what is even more reasonable would be a foursome apology to russia by the british government for desiccate thing the russian government desiccated its reputation and with the reputation of the russian people because we have seen what i consider to have been anti russian racism being created in the mainstream as part of u.k. foreign policy in these past few weeks ok we have to leave it there have to be able to get some more answers from the russian delegation in the hague in the next couple of hours from now there thanks for your time this is r.t. international no next update and often are.
