partners constantly use to distort this conversation prover assume forces strike an area wait a few moments for first responders to arrive and then strike again it is a disgusting tactic of terrorists not professional soldiers just a few days ago the pentagon announced that the us wouldn't be working with russia counterterror in it lip same it found a quote better more focused way but no details were revealed as for the state of affairs in it live the syrian representative said that the province is home to about ten thousand al qaeda linked militants who are referred to as moderate rebels which also remind ourselves that osama bin ladin was the original moderate rebel in the eighty's and then he was found to be behind nine eleven and after that everything changed but back to the days meeting of the u.s. also slammed the a start up he's process calling it

a failure and then you know went on to argue with russia wants to go quick look russia iran and assad are done the are demolishing in lead and asking us to call it peace but here's the reality a stomach has failed it has failed to stop the violence or to promote a political solution i want to stress once again that deescalation zones with temporary measures they should be either a local peace or a counterterrorism operation i also learned that some of our colleagues are trying to influence our stand our partners you will not succeed in this my american colleagues said that the istana process has failed maybe you want it to but i'm going to disappoint you i'm sure we will achieve results. which you now it looks like history might repeat itself but we can only hope for the best and look forward to a liberated terrorist free syria. russia's ambassador to the u.n.

directly with comment on these claims although the u.s. has made their position clear they mowe uncertain terms just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly he would have through an armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for really. urge the international community to support for its two and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use the sensible people will not use militarily useless means to draw before the three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen what the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be a surprise to anyone that that would be a concern of ours that. we have the impression that u.s.

threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of reading terrorism and extremism is. a back and forth of accusations ca sions the us has been clear that any. the use of chemical weapons will be attributed to the assad government and will result in military action moscow's claim that damascus simply has no logic in drawing the wrath of the us military and themselves has been dismissed as a destruction tensions in the liberal pro-choice boiling point and anticipation of a government offensive against terrorists and rebel groups it's clear that any incident involving allegations of chemical weapons could be a spark for the outbreak of all out conflict between multiple parties. in one take as leader has come out with a strong statement on syria in an article for the wall street journal in the us

to have a good relationship with the united states turkey's trying to increase its leverage in the in the province by underlining by highlighting that this will trigger any refugee crisis approximately nowadays in there are three million people that may turn into refugees so turkey turkey is trying to emphasize that this new three million people may come to europe and this will not only turkey and therefore turkey's trying to do its best in order to deter. bashar assad's russia. to stop the offensive and try to find common ground. by launching a diplomatic campaign in this matter. a suicide bombing has had to have protests in eastern afghanistan killing at least that he two people say dozens more were injured the demonstration was calling for the resignation of police command

said he fully expects his members of the european parliament from his party to vote in favor of sanctions against hungry but mr off on did have some friendly voices in the room on wednesday even if they did use the opportunity to push their own agenda still want but it's not just your country that's been insulted today you've been insulted today to be able logical cover enjoyed the brics you love it. so wednesday set to be a very busy day the state of the union address by young claudio first and then votes on whether article seven measures will be put in place against hungry i'll be bringing you all of it here on r.t. . political commentator. told us he believes the prime minister has been unfairly treated by the e.u. . as issues are absolutely. trying to stick to the law

stick to the agreements they all used and now accusing him to violate these agreements is. the most gracious. key issues in the us the union that the minute that go it is probably the trillion dollars but x. make the e.u. tell you to get to explode. here is sound business executives from across the asia pacific region have gathered and russia's port city of flooded wasaga for the eastern economic forum and one of the most attention grabbing around so far was a meeting between lattimer important and the chinese president xi jinping the two leaders who visited our far east themed exhibition while there they gave their cooking skills a world where putting out some pancakes together and then eating them with condi art and the meeting didn't pass without a lie hard exchange over what should pay. for that are

going to be. what they're. going to. do it. because it was the us it was both of us it was only you know we don't really do if you're going to be pretty apt to that exchange as putting them she held close store talks with support for their national currencies a key topic of discussion our correspondent and lead of us tells us what else was on the agenda. the key messages for a lot of. playing in vladivostok world that there was great trust between beijing and moscow when it comes to politics defense and security business to keep growing stronger and stronger and most important the beijing and

moscow are looking to get off the dollar hole at least when it comes to bilateral trade amid mounting pressure from washington should the to succeed in ditching the dollar as their main currency of trade this could be a clear signal to other countries after all if moscow and beijing could pull it off why couldn't others for one of the rounds of talks the leaders of russia and china word joined by the wealthiest businessmen from the two countries and there was also a behind closed door session the russian ambassador before that session began had hinted that syria would be brought up anyway judging by what was said on tuesday there is every sign that russia and china will continue to act as team players on an international and global scene. the host of our. report max keiser told us here things we're seeing a realignment the global order and
