3:00 am
but there was so often that you know that's. right the west didn't accept it and. the last thing opportunity is. i think the best way is to be very inclusive everybody has his own agenda in syria and to include everybody except of course the terrorist groups we know would. be punished and then process about. the groups the government of syria the regime the power of the russian diplomatic of the member of the security council should be this is why i wonder why it should not be a much wider international conference for peace in syria so why are france u.k. and the united states eager to use force if necessary but i'm willing to sit down and do the tedious work of organizing talks why is that left to iran and turkey and russia to that are the western allies not willing to break
3:01 am
a sweat or to do some actual negotiation the westerners sometime and i find it very the can is in a position because they keep insisting i heard from you was you know the message was very clear do use of chemical will top and then more people. getting killed in syria by. every week and that is you have a lot of stubbornness and it's not all they do use of chemicals you know what i'm talking about about is about all kinds of things that would. also be. using your mother's side in a situation is been a bit of it's not that simple that you know ok we're going to strike down not going to use again the chemical i'm going to do with it's very simplistic and i this in in my personal view all right we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking about in the money former deputy u.n. envoy to syria discussing big controversy. the recent u.s.
3:02 am
strikes on syria stay with us. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be
3:03 am
a castle but do the authorities accept such solution time you house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. u.s. president donald trump says he wants american troops to leave syria what are exactly washington's goals in syria partition war for war sake or a means to sticking it to iran in russia all or poorly thought out options. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fit to commission to look into this this is my compass that is going up the study hall mediated you know john.
3:04 am
the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is of those who endure the vision to know who could do this. and the earth is all of us not just you had this lady of the muscle that you had i don't want you to compete. and it doesn't seem to do more. but there's only. one. and we're back was my money former deputy un envoy to syria talking about the situation in ravaged country the money you've conducted an investigation into the use of chemical weapons in syria before in. assad that was in two thousand and
3:05 am
thirteen i believe and you saw evidence pointing to the fact that jabhat al nusra was in possession of chemical weapons was the fact that the syrian rebels have chemical weapons ignore it and why is everyone all a talking about damascus now i didn't conduct any mission i was in damascus and i was assuming the group came you know to conduct the huge one happened in august. two thousand and thirteen but we were keeping since in the beginning of my mission in two thousand and twelve i used to move it off in every sense of the two different areas of. syria to keep some contact going to keep contact with all actors with all groups out of the group so we went with everybody who was involved . also to get information when it happened but it's you know the power of the spot sometimes a lot of conflicting information and about the. response of course
3:06 am
was how to get in front you know because when people in the wall of the druze ever think again that although the you know even lives in a lot of things so this is why we said you know. anyone involved in syria in the wall of the. it was the. one who taught me yes but that was exactly my question do you feel like all science could have access to chemical weapons and not just a mascot yes right so why don't. you know what i am going to mask as being when you are in the service is involved. well see this one time that kind of came because i'm not an expert of chemicals that can be only in the hands of the government but also can service is involved in syria so they're not trying to give to anyone this kind of chemicals the openness of w.
3:07 am
is starting the fact finding mission in duma to establish if they can mikel attack did take place so how would you estimate were the u.s. coalition strikes undertaken before facts were on the table. i don't know. if you go to the all the missions first of all would be different it's a preferred not to dismiss if it was backed by a security council resolution to give a political will to the mission which is not the case in the other case and we know in different experiences of the just of the member what happened during. the missions in iraq of inspectors in iraq you know all got one of the five to put within this mission a lot of the asians and would remember their question of david you know this and that i mean they can guy who are finishing their mission made a book on their record and i thought here was that in the name of the. so and sometimes even though it was so with with with one of the last missions in syria
3:08 am
when this does the use of chemicals four times two times by isis and two times the way the government of course it was rejected by the government of syria as well as by the russian the syrian government didn't do it but it's a bit out to know did it does america and its allies actions actually defeat the purpose of the o.p.c. w mission i mean they're basically sending the message to the whole world that the mission doesn't make sense what they assume they know is result i mean what is it do they assume that they know the results beforehand there's a huge lack of mistrust between the parties everybody was talking about the mission is going to be in do much when the problem happened everybody is there you go. it is not because of those we heard only the western said the russian and the sitting government didn't allow the mission to go from the other side you know they're telling him no it's some people who live you know to file their mission there's a security problem. sometime what is it reported and the position explained express
3:09 am
officially and openly so far from that oddities on their get out what happens if violence flares up again in duma are we going to see the o.p.c. w. mission leave and then we'll never find out the details of the matter right well i said i'm not expect of chemical but the westerners who are telling you know that are making a lot of problems to this mission so to have enough time everything good all the evidence which does appear with time i'm not sure of all this technicalities but what i'm sure of is the lack of. level of mistrust between the parties so last year we had a similar situation the americans announced that they are not insisting on assad must go and damascus was having success on the front lines and then the alleged chemical attack made america strike this time around trump announces the imminent
3:10 am
withdrawal of american troops and a deal to end hostilities in good time in the works and then all of a sudden a chemical attack happens and missile strikes follow it damascus in date is behind the chemical attack tell me why what it should itself in the food twice in a row. you know from one side we know that's joining to negotiation with the different groups inside some of them except the. refuse especially those that's what some parties of the. islamic army do not particularly. so to may. leave immediately or wrote to me or whatever i can not to point. did it. with really some chemical attacks but again and again it shows. a level of mistrust and everything is used to inform all parties iraq's foreign ministry says that
3:11 am
airstrikes can give terrorism another opportunity to expand to sing but that's concerns are justified. or you know what one of their government spends they be doing that today of course sponsors the situation the church should take care of. especially. if there's a rather strong that on there is a reason to continue about this. until it was not the result that is still there and the other part with the with all the other groups and that's that is the measure things can make the war continue because they know them sort of not involved in the political process and they will do everything to continue and i know on their going to even when i was out in a lot of groups and groups and the people inside the group to keep changing from a group to another group because no see them expect the door to be to go down too
3:12 am
long and to be that complex and for me this to feed so it's becoming in a. better. situation so there are demonstrations offs support for asaad after this strikes you know there right i mean it seems that strikes a limited nature only made the syrian president more popular. he's seen now as resisting by modern english and a lot of. this is that that's the way his portraying himself at least he's seen now is resisting western aggression do you feel like maybe the strikes indeed backfire in terms of their political impact on the syrian war. well i'm not sure it's going to make a bit of popular does what i got which is a television you know and don't mean especially. when i take in consideration the other part of it but the account of it is destroyed the fifteen million the left at home of course everybody. agrees the government because when
3:13 am
they compare to the situation before the spinning and the before. two thousand and eleven of course the situation was much better for everybody but i'm not sure that you know it's going to be dissolved and getting some popularity. having the solution it's not easy it's much more complicated and it's going to take much more time if syria will remain one county the rebel on clive's around damascus are all but taken by the government do you think that damascus will keep going and attempt to take the remaining opposition areas in a country by force one by one. you know what just kidding and just because one of those taking was by bob asking you the population to move and this is why i mentioned in the beginning you know the stick side in that i'm just excited in dimension which is moving to population if it is true that the who is part of
3:14 am
living religion because we know from those of the militia that's supported to the government has a by law or the news about the afghan or all of them and do measure honesty and ninety nine percent of the rebels are soon and if you ask the people to move that's where or this i'm not sure syria would remain one count that it's going to stop or to help stopping that this is going to continue and now there's a possibility of some other interventions and. some i don't think you know what i said from the beginning but it's becoming a war by proxy like you say syria is now de facto divided into several parts but saying how secure our intentions are running so high during this war is a federal or a partition syria the only way out. no no i hope it's not going to happen i hope i hope the people of the city and. someone the four people you know there will remain in one county and all of them together and to be an example of positive changes in
3:15 am
the whole area which is strongly and needed in that part of the woods about unfortunately because the city all of them you know government as well as the opposition as well as a group they made huge mistake because in the state of humanizing the county from inside by finding a solution to open it to all unfold in an intervention that's getting rid of it about to get it from such a situation but the. destruction of a politician design a general politician is still dead look what's happening you know between the turks and kurds which is for the turks it's laws but i think it's it's the curse of the but i want it you know little you know to fight for what is going to drop and that i'm going to come and we're going still so many bases in that part of the if the so they are going to come or all the counties from the gulf not that they're even over there through with it all the kind before all the partition and the only one that
3:16 am
was being a very bit hyper is the women of syria to consult syria and the people of syria who surround i thank you very much for this interview who are talking to. a former deputy girl and i went to syria discussing whether peace is going to come to the war torn country any time soon that's it for at this edition of so i think who else in the next. we're. going.

3:21 am
oh this is about international coming here live from moscow i'm kate tridge thank you for joining us. north korea is holding old missile launches with immediate effect and shutting down the country's nuclear test site the country's leader kim jong own made that announcement at a party meeting according to the state news agency samir cohen has the details looks like north korea will be suspending all nuclear and ballistic missile tests as well as shutting down its nuclear testing site in its official announcement the d.p. r. k. noted that this is a no court and step towards global nuclear disarmament which apparently is the ultimate goal and why they were willing to join the international denuclearization effort in the first place for the ruling party of the least a statement outlining six crucial decisions and to quickly summarize the to be
3:22 am
r.-k. will be focusing on building a strong social connally's intensifying dialogue with leverage. countries that want to find it doesn't need to know they also promised that they would never use nuclear weapons unless there's a provocation and they assured us that they will not proliferate nuclear technology now this remarkable development comes shortly after north korean leader kim jong un who met with the secretary of state to be mike pompei oh and just before his meeting with his south korean counterpart that's actually scheduled for next week and a trump who has been planning to meet with kim jong il in a welcome the move tweeting that it's good news for the world and he's looking forward to meeting him but it's worth reminding that when trump initially announced his willingness to talk to kim after months of intense back and forth of the domestic media harshly criticized his diplomatic effort to engage a political dialogue and they argued that there was a reason all the u.s. presidents refused to sit down with kim so it'll be interesting to see how the u.s. media reacts to this will they applaud trump will they get out of credit or will
3:23 am
they just divert to russia but considering that north korea's various tests for right in the international community in the past even though a known missile tests were conducted since november of this latest move will likely provide some much needed relief but given the history of countries that have willingly surrendered their w m d's we can only hope that the u.s. genuinely welcomes this decision. well the north korean state news agency quoted leader kim jong onerous saying atomic tests are no longer necessary as the country's nuclear eyes ation is already complete brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition thinks the latest breakthrough with north korea has come in spite of threats from the u.s. this is a major step you can see that from the beginning in this process north korea and south korea have been the drivers of this diplomatic up offensive i would call it the u.s. government has been caught flat footed if you saw were trying trying to do what he
3:24 am
said might this arms folded glazed eyes a sitting down when everyone else was celebrating when the two koreas marched into the olympic games and the whole crowd was cheering careers on both the koreans on both sides were cheering the american government looked like an obstruction of the peace train was starting to leave the station and so donald trump had to play catch up and jump under that tree. for palestinian protesters have been killed of the hundred fifty six injured in israeli gun fire according to the gaza health ministry around three thousand people gathered on the israeli gaza border on friday for another so-called march of return is the fourth of six weekly demonstrations led by families of imprisoned palestinians local journalist hinde who had three was in the midst of the clashes. oh my god it's crazy everyone is running from the tear gas canisters they're randomly shooting to death something everyone. i can't wait.
3:25 am
for you know who is really good hearted try to do what you did we were covering the protest and coming closer to the protesters and suddenly they in they intensively started to fire tear gas and we were trapped by at least five tear gas canisters we started to feel our nose and eyes burning we couldn't even take take a breath and at that time i literally fainted i didn't know what's happened what was going on so i'm two hundred meters away from the fence that separates between gaza strip and israel we can see the israeli snipers stationed along the borders there are heavy weapons they have been firing tear gas canisters live ammunition on the protesters and demonstrators and it's very dangerous here but you can see at least three thousand palestinian demonstrators prisoners families and
3:26 am
a lot of palestinians are marching towards the fence so as you see all the ambulances are in state of emergency where they are ready to take on the injuries from the near the front and back as you see the palestinian protesters are very very very close to define some only demanding the right to return but are also demanding to break the siege on the gaza strip that has been imposed by israel for more than eleven years did dices filling the place and is surrounding i actually won from all the sides if there is surprise i left up and down here totally surrounded by tear gas canisters i can hear children crying from the tear gas i can see those children and trying to run away. the good stuff i mean these everyone the palestinian protesters are again trying to close that. sense that there is really i mean i did that spy little funds that they added last week and that you see they're trying to target these palestinian protesters by that you guys tear gas canisters
3:27 am
palestinians are not only demanding the right of return but are also demanding the at that they're demanding the release of the seven thousand palestinian prisoners in their israeli jails and as you see the palestinian protesters are holding the pictures of these palestinian prisoners in the israeli jail when israeli defense force spokesperson tweeted the protests were organized by palestinian group hamas which they regard as a terrorist organization israel also reportedly drops smoke bombs to keep demonstrators away from the border fence and use leaflets telling palestinians to stay away for i.d.f. captain yoni ben menachem says israel provided adequate warning of course it is justified these no army in the world that will allow. thousands of protesters to come to the fence the border fence and try to cross it this is why the i.d.f. war protesters look to get close to the fence demonstrate
3:28 am
a few hundred meters away from the fans they don't have to come closer they are. pushed towards the fence by the leader of hamas in order to create headlines you go there to create gives you so that they can blame news worlds to even see the claim except that they didn't i don't think that we really get in the climax you i think the climax will be towards the may fifteen they're not but they. really broadcast video footage claiming to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in the syrian town of tomorrow is now being called into question a team from our sister channel r.t. arabic has visited the town my colleague roy c. shape discussed what they saw there with r.t.c. donna. what we've seen so far from this place was and much mostly it's been a video released by the white helmets activist group you're looking at right now it's shot in the hospital and it's shows some truly heartbreaking pictures these
3:29 am
scenes of chaos of panic confused children being hosed down with water everything pointing at a potential chemical attack but are to rob a crew managed to talk to a boy who was featured in this video of the white house mates and he gave his account of events in that hospital have a listen to that had actually we were outside and they told all of us to go into the hospital i was immediately taken upstairs and they started pouring water on me do you remember where it happened to be here with a hose or is it here it is. i. that looked towards water on me they put me here and then took me up stairs to my mother where exactly up stairs the second floor.
3:30 am
abstainers over there valerie. saturday so the doctor started filming us here they were pouring water and taking videos and then my father came and found me someone had told him we were here so he came and took me away i luckily i didn't see i went up stairs and saw my wife and children i was very surprised and asked what had happened when my son's eyes were red and i found out it was one of them out it was cold and he could have got sick he was undressed when i took my son the first told me they still needed him but i still took him away from. the boy is clearly in shock still to have to go through something like this to go through such terror at his age is unthinkable really we've reached out to the white helmet westing in statement of some reaction to what's being what's being filmed in duma right now but we're still to hear back from them even as i understand there was other footage from the alleged senior year.
