and look what happened to them they have to learn that this. iraq is no exception and syria is no exception people will not accept foreign of the ndis we can any. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the smaller boats next to the hard pool of ships and you didn't. feel might not be. the level of self to make tom fish already ninety percent of the dot and he won't because they're. contemplations coops seventy five tons true and they do it several times a day with a big fleet oh you get an idea why. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be with this oh he is he'll

be going to go out. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future generations to have and enjoy the ocean how we have. a place for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million a one player. 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 we'll all chance with . the base and it's going to take.

with regards to taking territory that seems inexplicably whenever you eliminate one threat c b it's good that another thread seems to materialize and this happened repeatedly now we have these really energy minister who is threatening that his country could quote liquidate you and your government. are you afraid your freedom how do you take that threat. through through award and talk about measure innovation and loss of vision a vision of the now being. we lived under the threat of these really aggression this is something in our unconscious feeling. to think about your faith.

while living with the same fate for decades this is nonsense. israeli has been assassinating killing occupying for decades now for more than seven decades in this region but usually they do all this without threatening now why do they throw it in this way this is panic this is the kind of hysterical. feeling because they are losing the deal once the deal won. and i think. that's why israel is panicking recently and we understand perfectly well israel israel is now seemingly shreiking course syria airstrikes at will they're both publicly on camera again and again that your defenses they're powerless to stop them that they can do with syria whatever they want. is that true is there anything

you can do to stop israel carrying out its airstrikes in syria and surely the first target of the most and roofs. in syria was the defense before attacking any other military bases it would be air defense and it would be thought by the why do they defend their defense will not deal with the peaceful demonstrators the city or the moderate forces and it cannot be with extremists anyway it's another used to defend the country this is the other prove that this raid was in direct link with those terrorists in syria so they attacked those bases in the destroyed big part of our air defense now in spite of that of our position our defense is much stronger than before thanks to the russian support and the recent attacks by the israeli. american and british and french

proved that while we are in torture now the only option. my answer to a question is to improve our defense this is the only thing that we can do and we are doing that. israel says that its strikes are so far that they aren't targeted against you the president the government that they're targeted at the run to keep iran which is your ally weak in syria it's strange but iran being here they are your allies it's no secret they have help but them being here now puts you at threat would you ever consider asking around the most important fact regarding this issue that we don't have iranian troops we never had and you cannot hide it and we would not be ashamed to say that we have

like we invited the russians we could have invited the iranians we have rainy and. officers who work with. the syrian army they help but they don't have the troops. the starkest the fact about their lives the world with the sure they are in issue the recent attack few weeks ago they said that the attack your indian bases and camps the said allegedly and actually we had things of syrian martyrs and wounded soldiers not a single area so how could they see that we have it so it's a lie we always hear that we have it in the officers but they were with our army we don't have troops. changing subject now with regard to chemical attacks there are now regular alleged chemical attacks happening in syria your government and your allies have said that you had nothing to do with this your

allies of bags your claims saying deny you know any responsibility saying they have no knowledge of you carrying these carrying out the these attacks the question is in who is interest is it to gas opposition to you the most part of the answer in whose interest the question is it in our interest why and why you know because the timing of this alleged strike was after the victory of the syrian troops. let alone the fact that we don't have chemical weapons anyway and let the other folks but we're not going to use it against old people because the but the new theory was about winning the heart of the civilians this is the main but and we want to how can you use chemical weapons against civilians that you want them to have to be supportive to the for thinking if you want to that list support that you

have it in want to use it do you that after you finish the battle or before or during its particular sect. if you go to that area it was very crowded by our means by factions in by civilians we never use such armaments or weapons that are going to harm everyone something that didn't happen and if you go to that area and you ask the civilian there was no chemical attack me or anyone. even the westen unionists who when they are after. good always debated this it we are the people of this we need we didn't see any chemical attack so it was a not if it was just a pretext in order to attack syria well. it means being a pretext but we have without have proof that you know even media room with us on twitter few videos of confusing videos of showing allegedly the aftermath of an

attack is enough to justify for the united states its allies launching cruise missiles at syria what if conveniently there is another attack. alleged attack could there be a lot more missiles aimed at syria of course it could because when the united states trample. over the international law. on a daily basis in different areas for different reasons any country in the world could have such an attack what the legal basis of this type of vehicle with their aircraft with live the so-called antiterrorist alliance that support the terrorists actually what they did before that in life nothing what they look at before the attack in yemen against all the border with bikes etc there's nobody could be so as long as you don't have. an international law that could be obeyed by united states

and its pop it in the west there's no guarantee that it won't happen that happened a few weeks ago and that happened last year in. two thousand and seventeen and that could happen exactly agree with you but the response from promised was going to be extreme and severe into his words early on the response that we saw the strike that we saw after the latest alleged chemical attack was seem to be much more symbolic much smaller in scope and it was inexplicably get dealing when trump promised the attack and when it came why was there a delay did it have something perhaps to do with russia it has to speak as we as we saw it the first one bit told the story of it all belong. in the public opinion round the world and in the with didn't buy the story but they couldn't with a draw so they had to do something. even on

a smaller scale the second issue related to the russian pull the position but i'm as you know the north publicly that they're going to destroy the base of that's going to be used to launch. our information we don't have evidence we only have information and those informations are credible information but they were thinking about comprehensive attack all over syria and that's why the threat. pushed the west to make it. much smaller scale. with regards to the united states relation to would you president trump has called you quote animal asset do you have a nickname for the u.s. president. this is not my language so i cannot toothy miller language this is his language to prevent him thing there's a very. no in principle but what you see is what you are three wanted to

present what if. in any way. you didn't move anything in this kind of language to do anything. for anyone the only thing that moves you if what people that you trust are people who are liberal headed people who are thoughtful people or moral or ethical that would move anything inside you with a positive or negative somebody like we move nothing for him but with regard to the united states presence here and this is an interesting thing you know a came up of. a while ago there are now in syria forces from five nuclear powers five nuclear powers directly gauged in military operations in syria boots on the ground. some of those countries are on

different sides how serious is this civil war still the word to the lord has been used widely seen the beginning of the conflict in syria even by our framed by our allies by mistake without understanding of the content of this meaning syria and syrian civil war. means they are sectarian lines be used on the if the cities or states or religion or maybe political opinion or political currently thirty something we did something we don't you see area in reality. in the area controlled by the government which is not the measured your fear you have all these diversities. all these diversity through the words of it all is not according to what we have actually from the very beginning mercenaries syrians and foreigners being paid by the with in order to topple the government this is the reality of the myriad of you the very stark reality everything else is

just mask to cover the real intention of talking about the political differences moderate peaceful. we don't have civil war in syria if we had civil also for seven years we should have been divided by now you cannot have one country united country unite the society if not geographically because now of the united states poppy thing better copy without that we should have it divided so should go both deal with different spectrum of this in a society and you can answer that question in the same way i'm assuming but with with regards to potential escalation there are proxy forces from all these five nuclear powers as well as their own forces gauge in syria but you is the president again must have information how close we come jury. in the civil war

during this war to escalation between these nuclear powers in reality we were cloth to have derek conflict between the russian forces and the american forces. fortunately it was it has been avoided. not by the with them of the american leadership by the wisdom of the russian leadership because if not in the interest of anyone. anyone in this world and first of all the syrian to have this conflict we need the russian support but we need at the same time to avoid the american. in order to be able to defend to stabilize our country and just briefly one last question the closer we get to the n. is the danger of an escalation in your estimation is the decreasing or is it on the other hand increasing as i said the very beginning the more we get closer to the in

the more they want to make it father what does it mean the more stability you have the more escalation we'll have the more conservation you have in one area the more . killing and destruction and trying to. capture more areas by that oath. without this why we've been there conciliation when we thought that the conservations in many of the other factions in the same area tried to support it because they have the orders from the outside not to go toward any to conservation of course the you have the orders with the pocket of money so you know what you say is correct but the more escalation we have the more determined will be to solve the problem because you don't have any other choice other you have country or you don't have country. as the president thank you very much for your insights and thank you very much for welcoming welcoming us here

and giving us so much of you that. we wish you all the best of the syrian people who are the best and a swift conclusion to this to this awful conflict thank you very much mr president thank you thank you for coming to see you again. you must be much. ongoing makings of decision at twenty eight can we around the table agree on tough measures and these are china always or us in the end of the unfortunately is the answer to that so far is not the really europe is being too weak and that's why we end up being beaten on the head sometimes by the chinese sometimes by the american and that's got to stop.

for manners sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all for different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest kill people. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and

a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the beach. and do the great things. you are the rock at the back nobody gets busted you we need you to get the best go. alone. and i'm really happy to join. russia meet the special one. needs to just say to redo the aussie team's latest edition to make up as we go. look. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go to the press this is like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lines

in the. first. top stories for. russia's foreign minister of north korea. should bear in mind the recent history considering potential deals with the united states. to criticize ukraine a staging the russian opposition journalist. and you artificial intelligence tool could possibly predict if protesters go to. social media activity. interview with syrian president bashar assad. the political process in syria and the. chemical weapons against civilians.

thursday may thirty first just passing nine am here a welcome to the program this is. the russian foreign minister is visiting pyongyang as north korea prepares for a potentially historic currently in doubt peace with south korea and the united states should. we think it's very important to approach the tubes as delicately as possible to avoid any sudden surprises this should be no official drawings of this process which will take the significance of its time to agreements that will not only provide for the denuclearization of the korean peninsula but also for a stable peace across all of the east asia we call on all sides to feel full responsibility for succeeding in this very important but so far a very fragile process. russia is interested in working with both

careers and the north should consider all factors in the peace talks including recent history. right now with some exclusive images from inside north korea. this is a truly incredible opportunity for us to film inside the place where most high profile meetings in north korea happen just as the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is talking to his north korean counterpart behind closed doors right there the moment when the russian top diplomat is gang is absolutely unique on the one hand the resolution of the korean peninsula crisis might be just a few steps away with a massive concessions the north and the south have both been making and even donald trump to however we understand that any wrong move can make everything collapse so the question is why exactly sergei lavrov and it up in the north korean capital

russian diplomatic sources suggest that it was after several invitations in a row by mr lavrov apart during his visit to moscow we were also told that the north korean side wanted the trip to happen asap during a traditional quick chat with the journalists on the plane when we asked. why this was happening and what to expect of the visit his answer was we'll just have to see i don't know for now believe to try and go from the monsoon to power the home of the north korean parliament in pyongyang. live now to dr tim bill who is a researcher and specialist in asia based in new zealand good to see you tim six pm where you are now a very good evening to you we're seeing a donald trump in recent days somewhat flip flopping over the north korea summit now we're seeing russia's foreign minister visiting pyongyang what why do you think

it's sort of a love of is there right now. well of course hughes is answering the invitation from. north korea. russia has a very keen interest in what happens in northeast asia and it's important for him to be there he is the most experienced foreign minister in the world and so it's good news that he's going and might wonder why he has not been early and why there hasn't been some of the earth. but anyway he's there now and there certainly is you've got a washington's our language or in recent weeks or months donald trump saying he's going to bring fire and fury to north korea he's going to totally eradicate north korea on the other hand though you've got sol pyongyang china and others constructively working towards peace why is there such a disparity in the rhetoric well i mean we have the united states on one hand

and specially chunk who goes into a flamboyant rhetoric adolescent talk and so forth you know about that and on the other hand we have these various other parties whose agenda is reward of course slightly different but basically all of them good about russia china south and north korea wants peace the terms on which peace will happen of course still to be decided now in the meantime or the pentagon says that the military drills in the region on the south china sea in particular will continue what white wine with why would these drills continue when when pyongyang has expressed such disparate dissatisfaction and frustration with them. well that's a very good question you know nobody else would do that sort of in this is where the americans operate they brandish. a big stick and you mentioned the south

china sea and that. aimed specifically at china now anyone else would think that in these circumstances it wouldn't be really wise to antagonize china but you know the pentagon and that that's what they're doing. when you talk about out of washington a brandishing a big stick i mean do you think washington will actually allow for peace on the korean peninsula. that's the sixty four thousand dollars question i don't. i mean the problem for the for the pentagon is that they can't really go to war the consequences are they are too but found too difficult to gain because they could only be the only reason that they will go to war against north korea is if they decided this time for an attack on china i don't think that's base so you know that the pentagon and foreign defense minister matters i'm going to put

their foot down and i hope there won't be in the any attack but they still like the still light tension the. the buildup to war and all that sort of thing i mean that is their business. has been so i think we can expect continue. briefly here i'm running very very low on time but you're a specialist on aging you're coming to us live from new zealand in your personal opinion what's going to happen with north korea what do you see happening. well i think. hopefully in the summer in trying. i think it will be be our exercise everybody very concerned with tragic shock to consult think they combed talk about. the north koreans we very cagey iraq east. but not peace at any price so we're going to get this show and then. what

happens after that is still to to be decided hopefully things to move forward now you've got the south korean especially. the pushing for peace so it's going to be difficult for the americans to. to give that up completely so i think we're going to get some sort of modus vivendi actually what it is you know and let's keep our fingers crossed dr tim bell the researcher and specialist on asia live from wellington new zealand thank you so much for your time thanks for your in so i'm going to thank you. journalists have rounded on the ukrainian authorities for faking the assassination of a russian opposition journalist in kiev international media and security watchdogs have slammed the stunt as deplorable and regrettable. the staged murder of journalists are currently blocked in could by the ukrainian security service is distressing well the reappearance of the report i'm a great relief is deeply regrettable he crean's authorities who played with the

truth no matter what the motive relieved that. he was alive i deplore the decision to spread false information on the life of a journalist it is the duty of the state to provide correct information to the public. the ukrainian authorities have claimed that they had found russian journalist at a cowardly bub janko with gunshot wounds in his flat in the capital it was claimed that he died on route to hospital however later it was revealed that the murder had been staged apparently in order to foil an actual plot to kill the journalist a lot of cowardly bob genco was a prominent kremlin critic who is condemning russian activities in ukraine and syria he's also a contributor for major news outlets like the guardian and the b.b.c. . donald quarter reports now on what really happened. when a russian journalist was pronounced murdered in the ukrainian capital it didn't take long for the ceremonial finger pointing at russia to begin he was only working

on things that were critical and investigative of russia and of the russian government as well he said there was nothing that was critical of ukrainians of course that network and its boss placing the blame on the kremlin and on russia journalist known political leanings have led some to point the finger in one direction it was a calculated deliberate international terrorist crime committed on the direct instruction of the russian authorities who can blame them when the story has all the perfect ingredients the russian totalitarian machine putin's regime going after the kremlin critic except the guy turned up alive and well imagine everyone's confusion what on earth is several of the thread all these developments in just the last hour or so i know absolutely gobsmacked when a second so what the heck actually have been here russia said it was relieved that our cause alive but also fiore us and.
