the u.s. and russia trade barbs at the un over the syrian government's plan to retake rebel held province coexistence with terrorists is impossible those are ruled branches of al qaida which we have been point to since the terror attacks in two thousand and one all we've seen are the actions of cowards interested in a bloody military conquest of it's. bombing kills thirty two people at a rally in afghanistan again still local police chief while a twin blast in the same province targeted school go errors during morning rush

hour also coming up. a million kaplan's filled the streets of. the region's a national day in a huge show of support for independence from spain. why from all schools this is our to international welcome to the program. the situation in syria is adlib province most of which is controlled by terrorists has become the focus of the latest he one security council meeting. so this is just one use to it is doable coexistence with terrorists is impossible but those are all branches of al-qaeda which we have been fighting since the terror attacks in two thousand and one and from whom we can expect the worst attacks imaginable. let's not waste time with the december mation distractions and outright lies that the assad regime and

their russian and iranian 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 or more focused way but no details were revealed as for the state of affairs in it live the syrian representative said that the provinces hold 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 of meeting of the u.s.

also slammed the us thought up he's process calling it a failure and then you know went on to argue with russia wants take a 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 were 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 will. now it looks like history might repeat itself but we can only hope for the best and look forward to a liberated it terrorist free syria. russia's ambassador to the un claimed there is

no reason for a damascus to use chemical weapons and that it would only risk a military response from western powers. and russia's military meanwhile has repeated its clean that terrorist an adlib have started at their final preparations for a possible falls flag attack hawkins brings us the developments the russian ministry of defense has been warning for two weeks of a possible false flag operation by militants in using chemical weapons a red line for the u.s. and its allies according to the russian military that possibility became clearer sites and local residents of the town of the sugar they claim camera crews on sites have recorded footage of an alleged chemical attack by the syrian government including video of what helmets rescue was treating supposed victims the footage says is to be sent to numerous channels imminently to justify a u.s.

led military intervention the u.s. department of defense hasn't yet responded to us directly with comment on these claims although the u.s. has made their position clear they mowe uncertain terms but just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly. through known forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military in this is the foreign. urge the international community to support her collective efforts to serious use of chemical weapons. and we remain resolved to. use its chemical weapons again we would use them all sensible people will not use militarily useless means to draw before three powerful countries in the form of cells we have all seen with the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be

a surprise to anyone that would be surprised. if we have the impression that us 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 the bread of terrorism and extremism is. a back and forth of accusations without cia sions the us has been clear that any use of chemical weapons will be attributed to the assad government and will result in military action moscow's claim of damascus simply has no logic in drawing the wrath of the us military on themselves has been dismissed as a destruction tensions in the liberal pro-choice boiling point and anticipation of a government offensive against terrorist 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 the u.k.

and france have joined washington in warning damascus over a possible chemical attack an adlib germany has taken a step back for now saying this should be held between all parties. just for. the moment it's all about preventing not humanitarian catastrophe in the loop in order to do that we are holding negotiations with all parties on the coast first of all with our allies but lane has been has a turn to support us in syria and the past declined to join washington france and the u.k. in strikes and say read this past april the joint military action came as a response to the alleged chemical attack with washington accusing damascus of masterminding the atrocity up to seventy people were reportedly killed to end the attack the syrian government denies any involvement at the time the u. case prime minister came under have a criticism for his citing with washington. so if this house seemed to have less

say in foreign policy of this country than president trump that no one in the that no one in this house be in any doubt that neither i nor this government take instructions from any press. skepticism over a potential attack and lip is also being voiced by the opposition and the u.k. the shadow foreign secretary has said it is unacceptable to rely on inflammation from terrorists and that in the event of a chemical attack it would be crucial to wait for the organization for the provocation of chemical weapons to respond journalist mike ready told us however that he believes assad would quickly be plaint but only to wait for evidence they don't need it would need to wait for an investigation they surely don't need to wait for o.p.c. w or any other agency to apportion blame they're already blaming the syrian

government they're already saying that president assad has authorized the chemical weapons strike so that you know the story of the electric hasn't even happened but blame has already been a portion so you know what more can we say apart from there it looks like very likely there's going to be a big strike and this could lead to obviously this could lead to a conflict with russia what will three or the fall of the world wars we should be called in the not addressing the syrian are barmy they're not even addressing the syrian government of president assad they're addressing the i'll call it a proxy armies i'll call it a failure it's in italy and effectively what they're saying is the hotline is open you can call it your own air strike all you need do is provide a pretext however pretext maybe give us something we can sell to our publics back home i will have the cruise missiles in the air so that's the message is the message is directly to al qaida and its affiliates in italy. so side bombing has hit a protest in eastern afghanistan killing at least thirty two people authorities say

is not going to take on militarily that means that the u.s. dollar is in grave jeopardy of losing its status as a world reserve currency we have more bilateral trade we have a more multipolar world we have different sensors of currency concentration and power and this will be i think a net negative for the u.s. in terms of its occurrence ability to govern much of the world economy this is a totally new century we've got new multi-polar world germany is assumed to be a us ally but if you listen to the rhetoric coming out of berlin it seems as though germany is being kind of pushed into the russia china axis which is very interesting that means you've got russia china germany on one side of the geopolitical game board you've got the u.s. israel saudi arabia on another side britain is left out now because there are exiting the global commerce market they're going to disappear in a few years and that in such a sense of twenty first century and i think that with china leading the way towards
