11:30 am
meanwhile apart from the moderate rallies there have been plenty of progress e.g. demonstrations across germany as well the latest took place in cologne on sunday many in the country say there was read by the apparent rise of the right. i. class of. objects with a cold to the restaurant and myself some hit the window panes others hit the entrance sign there were also things flying along the terrace one stone hit me on my right shoulder i was really terrified with my adrenalin running high i was tough stoned and wasn't able to understand much was still i managed to make out the words jewish pig and that i should get out of germany.
11:31 am
like in the back of my mind i realized that i should take a few photos so that i wouldn't lie to myself later on how many people there were because at the time it seemed like it could have been three or a hundred people there i didn't want to exaggerate it looked like a mass of people forgot to take the two photos and went back into the restaurant i told the customers they should stay inside that it was no fun outside he put a geopolitical analyst a writer office believes german politicians are doing themselves any favors by in the scrutiny bribing concerned citizens as neo nazis we have to absolutely just a problem in germany which grew quite considerably since twenty years t.v. in and the german authorities should react and not start blaming whole populations for their own in activity in handling the refugee crisis and its impact on. the
11:32 am
security situation the population is really divided and so it would be very very important to keep it differentiating between very few right wing extremists above all odds of germany and a large part of the population which is just worried about the situation and the further development and the lack of adequate response is by our political decision makers. of the russian turkish presidents are meeting in solitude to discuss the situation in the province so as you can see behind me journalists are expecting any minute for that news conference to start there are hopes they could announce progress towards peace in the last terrorist and rebel stronghold in the country before the talks about me are putin said they had hoped to resolve the issues where they have yet to find some sort of agreement. or one for his boss also expressed
11:33 am
optimism they could come to an agreement. the president also stressed the importance of taking action against terror groups among rebel factions in the province the leader also called for alternatives to bombing the area into what he dubbed the pretext of fighting terrorism. is there she's got more now on the two countries stance on the syrian conflict where do russia and turkey stand well turkey fear is that out large scale are found against their will cause a new influx of refugees into its territory we are already is hosting over three and a half a million syrians so turkish officials are saying that they are ready to cooperate with anyone in fighting terrorism we know that the war with iran we owe it to war with you know. with all our partners. in syria so the position. all players are so very different and that is what makes the
11:34 am
situation so complicated the u.s. say that they're not going anywhere until there is peace in the region they're also not at all happy about iran's participation and now a western politicians and mainstream media called the possible offensive a disaster and a big humanitarian tragedy without offering any solution on how to fight terrorism apart from just simply bombing the army so while turkey has been massing troops in the province of idlib russia has been carrying out its own military exercises so this meeting is and another at tam for all parties to work out a position on the future cause of action of united nations estimates ten thousand. terrorists remain in a blue province they pose a threat not only to those living there but also to people in the border regions as well earlier we spoke to a journalist who's recently returned from syria she told us about the situation in
11:35 am
the blip on the rest of the country as well as what mainstream media off failing to show. there i talked to the civil star the national defense forces and they spoke at length about how the village has been pummeled by missiles from terrorists and it's been on a daily basis over the past many years and they said you know they've been suffering nobody is talking about it and they're looking forward to the liberation of lives because it will ease their suffering it will it will mean the sation of these terrorists approximate the so these are the kind of things that the media which is busy talking about corporate media which is busy talking about it live are completely negating happening on a daily basis in my day. and what syrians have spoken with around the country on previous visits and currently say they want a restoration of all of syria to peace and they want an end to the terrorism that's
11:36 am
been plaguing them whether it lives or as we saw formerly in eastern hour before that in aleppo and it's their right to live in peace and it's also their right and the syrian government of syria's right to fight such terrorism because we're not talking about the mythical moderate rebels we're talking about al qaeda we're talking about. and these are terrorists that have been torturing civilians and executing civilians wherever they happen to occupy. while the syrian and russian governments have been using tools of diplomacy if you'll recall they've opened humanitarian corridors they've offered amnesty and reconciliation to terrorist who will wait lay down their weapons but on the contrary it's these factions within the lives that are saying we will kill any terrorist will militants rebels that fake whatever they want to call them we will kill them if they participate in amnesty and reconciliation so clearly yes there is a desire for a peaceful resolution to this and the syrian russian government has been offering
11:37 am
tools for such a peaceful resolution. but in the libyan top of the world somebody. calling for the president's top politicians to resign or protesting over the disastrous situation in the country which remains in deep political crisis since the struggle broke out about seven years ago libya remains divided by rival governments and groups. one government is based in tripoli it's backed by the united nations the other is in tal brooke controls a large part of the east of the country some zones are also controlled by armed factions an islamic state as well years after they helped ignite the violence some bureau paean countries are now starting to express regret at their involvement in the nato intervention. looks closer at the country's history. in march of two thousand and eleven norway committed to the military intervention in libya leading to the ousting of gadhafi and the ruin country we see today but
11:38 am
a shock norwegian state commission report now admits the country knew next to nothing about what they were doing and actually went to war relying on media reports norway had very limited knowledge of libya when the oprah's in started in february twenty eleven in such situations decision makers off to malone information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted american the international community offered gadhafi the final chance to stop his campaign of killing or face the consequences for attacks by regime forces on the libyan citizens when they turn to us and ask us for help stopping a massacre how do you say no so awful jumped on the bandwagon playing an alarmingly significant role and why shouldn't they use for trucks in that report will have that in a wall for you let's go live now to the u.n. security council meeting on north korea underway in new york. let's listen to the
11:39 am
russian representative. provide us with. a madam president we hear you suggested that we hold a security council meeting today in an open format all the better because we wanted to draw the attention of the council to the fact that russia china and other members of the council have on many an occasion says the time there's been an outline progress in korea in conciliation we have tried to initiate a new kind of a positive reaction from the council to these events. or just to remember that half a year ago we used to meet her sometimes twice a week in order to discuss the. ballistic launch by penny and but today we are already talking about the prospect of signing a peace treaty and the final reparation on between the north and south. do you would like to have the american delegation explain to us and all members all other
11:40 am
members of the u.n. why are you against a council presidential statement in support of these positive developments here on blocking even as such a reaction as press elements elements you reject any kind of a positive statement we have said many a times away fully in support of the negotiating process which started between the interested parties in the beginning of this year russia welcomes also the outcome to what has already been done there's been lowered military activity there is a direct contact between the leaders of the d.v.r. k the republic of korea and the united states. several days ago in this city because on so the opening of a liaison office for the two koreas we also wish the success for the summit to start tomorrow between the leaders of the ferric and the republic of korea important and young young at the same time we're witnessing today is that negotiate the negotiations between deep hurricane the united states at the very least and
11:41 am
counter in certain difficulties. the negotiating process is a two way street. the diplomacy in the twenty first century is such an any century is such that it is impossible to punt to come to an agreement if you are for it and nothing in return for years and months no one is shining to question the fact of the fact that the d.p. r. k. is having a nuclear missile program is unacceptable but what would can we expect when pyongyang is being called upon to unconditionally comply with all of the conditions against him against a guarantee of empty profit promises. the world has already heard to be a pretty now the measure of their prize in may with the administration of the united states decided that the agreements on the j.c.b. away was not good and then decided to leave them you know laterally and this way.
11:42 am
new promises made to teheran the international community were broken. they promised to do nuclearization has to start with strengthening confidence building measures and one of such measure could for example be signing a peace treaty which would put an end to the war in korea and we can see that both pyongyang and and seoul have already come very close to this restrictive measures which were introduced by the security council resolutions against a barricade cannot be an end in itself they have to be an instrument in tool in order to involve the country in constructive negotiations and the resulting in nuclear issue of the peninsula through just sunk sanctions and pressure on pyongyang is impossible sanctions cannot replace diplomacy. now on the situation situation with the seventeen eighteen sanctions committee. the united states delegation intentionally heightened the tension surrounding the issue of
11:43 am
transferring two of the council over the interim report of by the panel of experts and they want to use this trip tribune in order to impose on the international community their own vision of the situation. the meeting we are having today as has been the case recently with our american colleagues have big come a meeting on russia rather than d p r k. what is being said that the russian are trying to exert pressure on the panel of experts well we would like to once and for all put an end to such an incident such insinuations. you know actual fact what is happening is this the work of the panel of experts which because of decisions beyond our own crow big control became increasingly politicized they became ultimately the hostages to the vision of washington that panel has to be guided by the principles of objectivity and impartiality unfortunately the document that they have prepared in its first version did not meet those standards on this regard we
11:44 am
and other members of the committee expressed a number of comments which were viewed correctly by the experts and then taken on board when they transferred the report to the security council. the rules of procedure of the committee provide for consultations with a member with member states when it comes to the contents of the report. do not look for ill intent in the fact that the part of the report that has to do with countries did in immediately involved in the where there who are not indifferent to it. what experts do is they send requests and queries to us and it's a logically that the responses we provide me need to be reflected in the content of the report unfortunately in this case exactly the opposite happened russia consistently asked the questions that were there the panel sent us including answers to the accusations that were good that were were or were limited gensler's
11:45 am
today by the permanent representative of the united states. our own viewpoint was not taken into account in unsurprisingly therefore that we insisted on having our position reflected in the document that once again let me underscore this fact again we were not trying to trying to exert pressure on the panel of experts we were trying to abide by the rules of procedure of the seventeen eighteen sanctions committee i do hope that not a single one of you questions of the fact that if x. is asians are. provided well then equally transparently will we need to have is the reactions to these accusers such accusations and that's precisely why the russian delegation insisted on making sure that our position be reflected in the report in question through difficult negotiating efforts we thought that we came up with a compromise solution once again this was not a difficult conversation but it all stages of the conversation we managed to come
11:46 am
up with an agreement with all of the interested parties including the american delegation. the american people are in her emotional statement to did not tell you that there was an agreement to our compromise on the part of your experts as well what change to the did next day when you recalled it i do hope that you do understand that the situation today is such that it is a your delegation who abandoned the could try to cut the conveyance of the panel of experts report to the security council and he you are the ones who are proven venting in. preventing the publication of an independent report of the state of plays with the sanctions against libya care because you block the dissemination of it in its new version once again this was signed by all of the experts in the group including the american one. you are preventing the possibility of reflecting the viewpoints that do not coincide with your position well here
11:47 am
a question begs to be asked aren't you the ones who are exerting direct pressure on the group demanding that they change their opinion in the report that they will trent trent try to convey to the security council the ball now is in your court. he off resenting this as an egregious president which is violating the independent nature of the panel but the situation is exactly the opposite introducing changes to the report of the panel of experts is a perfectly normal practice for the deliberations of a subsidiary body of the council i would like to underscore here that no one issue trying to undermine the independence of the experts but let's not forget that they do not work in a vacuum we need to avoid situations where legitimate requests of the governments are not take into account now let me repeat myself a little bit first of all. on the patriot ship
11:48 am
tanker the group of experts themselves said there's ship was not in violation of the sanctions regime this isn't a report in the original versions their version thereof secondly. now that. we removed the section on the violations by russian company this is a falsehood. this is in the. report this is in the report and unchanged except that it's in the in the confidential appendix with more detailed information third on the quotas and the if they funding for the d.p. r. k. represent different russia we requested information additional information on that and confirmation of that from the united states and are still waiting for that information from them on the quotas we've been waiting for two months now on the d.p. r. k. representative who are months. so who is trying to deceive the international
11:49 am
community here who is trying to cheat on the international community who is disseminating lies. madam president not only sanctions the resolutions of the barricade he'll would like to draw attention to the recent events on the peninsula some time ago of the so-called un come on don't be deceived by the name today as of this was confirmed by the secretary briefing this is a military structure which is based on the leadership of the united states in the demilitarized area between the two korea with the two koreas using the name of their go over zation as a shield they blocked the in the attempts to resume railroad connections between the two countries. but bringing the two railroads together is one of the key enter a career free and agreements which are indorsed in a un jungmann declaration as far as we know the specialists from both countries
11:50 am
were not allowed by the command to take a view and assess the state of tracks of course the press has started commenting and saying that the un is blocking the implementation of joint into korean projects we're grateful to you madam president for an in-depth economic analysis of the issues that the russian far east is facing at the same time i would like to remind you of the corporation between the un railroad rose including the trilateral house and regime project is not covered by the sanctions regimes in include including the rest of the security council resolution twenty three ninety seven you should instead of create creating root roadblocks promote the into korean cooperation and dialogue but washington is prepared to. sacrifice any kind of hope for an interest in dialogue the u.n.
11:51 am
command what is it is it and a analog to the berlin wall in the twenty first century. what is being done by the united states can be considered as violations under a security council resolutions enshrined in all resolutions where we're talking about finding a peaceful settlement of the conflict on the other hand all of these steps of fully in line with a policy of exerting maximal pressure on pyongyang the united states are becoming increasingly aggressive in trying to subjugate the security council sometimes we're left of the impression that in washington they're confusing the u.n. security council and the national security council of the united states. and the meeting today is no exception to that unfortunately i would like to also yet once again draw your attention to the status of the so-called you and troops in korea the commander of these troops is at the same time the commander of the u.s. forces in korea and the joint to us republic of korea command from the viewpoint
11:52 am
of international law under conditions all went in one thousand nine hundred one the two states became fully fledged members of the u.n. maintaining the command in korea which confirms that that entity as a bill the u.n. as a belligerent party to two that it is illegally from a legal view point is nonsense under current conditions when the deep barricade is officially stating that they're trying to prevent a new conflict and calling upon for a declaration to and to the war on the peninsula and sign a peace treaty what we need to do is analyze the role and the need for such troops they were determined in the fifty's under a security council resolutions eighty four and eighty five they were passed against a specific historic context the e.u.'s are at the time boycotted meeting and corn minturn was sitting in the place of the people's republic of china basically they have nothing to do with the you and so we are therefore need to
11:53 am
consider the possibility overdrawing and the. of the thirtieth the ga provided for the possibility of the disbanding of the troops in one nine hundred sixty six and replacing them with the korean border posts in case the future there was blood to be future normalization the institutions in mechanisms of the un security council should be used to support the settlement rather than becoming a road blocks to them the general goal of all of those involved is to make sure that we peacefully settle the issues in the region including the nuclear issue on the basis of the dialogue and mutually acceptable agreement and the development of it to korean cooperation is in line with this goal and it shows that the d.p. r. k. course as of the beginning of this year to normalize their relationship with relations with neighbors and denuclearized the peninsula is correct. let me underscore the fact that this kind of corporation issue it is is not to be in violation of
11:54 am
security council resolutions discussing the project of future corporations and future research projects i'm not in violation of that as security council and its decisions should help rapprochement between north and south around and they impede them i used to suggest the security council members consider this creating special conditions on the seventeen eighteen commissions for the request for a temporary exemption from texas from the sanctions regime for the implementation of winter korean cooperation project as far as i know both sides of the d.m.z. line share this idea the sanctions committee of the security council and d.p. r. k. is a very good example of what could could result from the destructive behavior on some of its parts the committee is being seen it would seem by the u.s. as a sledgehammer with which to punish the d.p. r. k. for the intransigence intransigence and this is very convenient he using the
11:55 am
security council in order to exert pressure on d.p. r. k. washington is methodically reve he refuses the member states in international organizations in conducting humanitarian and diplomatic and sports links which have nothing to do with nuclear and or missile program oh requests sent by the american colleagues do not justify because they think that this to be considered by others as an absolute in the last resort which means that as a committee in a position where consensus decisions even technical ones are becoming impossible in conclusion that a president we would like to urge on all the countries to can do restraint and show that looking for political or diplomatic settlement is the only way to peace what is the issues on the political peninsula and create creating in southeast asia stable mechanism for security which is an interest of all countries in the region only sanctions only exerting pressure on piano. without taking into account it's a legitimate interest this will be impossible once again i would like to your
11:56 am
attention to the fact that this is how russia together with china developed their roadmap with a settlement of the situation in the korean peninsula with and this road map defacto olby to a certain set backs is now being implemented the russian side stands ready to close this possible corporation with all interested countries in order to ensure peace and stability in the region make sure there is a comprehensive settlement of the issues of the korean peninsula on the basis of equal and known discriminatory negotiations with the participation of all interested states i thank you. ok a lot of detail lot of legal language there from russia's representative to the u.n. vaseline. denying those accusations from the u.s. that russia is violating u.n. sanctions on north korea and accusing the u.s. of what he described as misleading blocking calls blocking progress rather in resolving the issue and subjugating the u.n. security council never minces his was of course was in
11:57 am
a band so that was his answer to earlier statements of the u.s. representative nikki haley she of course accused broady russia of helping poor young to violate u.n. sanctions this is what she had to say just before that statement. united states has evidence of consistent and wide ranging russian violations one russian vessel called the patriot was captured on film transferring refined petroleum to a north korean controlled vessel in april of this year that is un listed when north korea saturday and fascinated kim jong nam with v.x. a deadly nerve agent the united states moved to strengthen u.n. controls on the flow of chemical and biological weapons technology of north korea russia agreed with us in the security council but turned around and again blocked the sanctions committee from updating its twelve year old saying list step by step
11:58 am
sanction by sanction and time and time again russia is working across the board to undermine the same regime. and other headlines today russia's defense ministry says its identify the missile which brought down flight m.h. seventy four years ago comparisons of registration numbers coupled with audio intercepts point to ukraine's direct involvement according to the ministry it was that of breaks down the latest findings so what the russian defense ministry has done is evade the serial number of the missile published earlier by the official investigation and the joint investigative team say that they took that serial number from a piece of the debris from the actual crash site so they blamed that very most directly for the downing of the mh seventeen passenger jet so the russian defense ministry they took that serial number and matched them try to find mentions over it
11:59 am
in its own archive documents and what they found was actually the passport of that very most of it which tracks the whole life cycle of that missile back from the moment when it was produced manufactured in the u.s.s.r. to the point also showing which. exact army unit was armed with that missile and here's what the russian defense ministry found out that those work at the manufacture date of the missile is the twenty fourth of december one thousand nine hundred six it was transported by train to the military base two zero one five two today this base which still uses missiles of this type is in the ukrainian district evolve and since then after the dissolution of the soviet union the missile never returned to the territory of russia. now that passport and some other relevant documents they used to be top secret and now they have been unclassified for the sake of the investigation in fact they would displayed in the room where the briefing was held so all journalists will mean colluded had a chance to have
12:00 pm
a look at them with their own eyes the second part of the briefing the russian defense ministry showed some video some amateur footage that was previously analyzed by the official investigation and the russian defense ministry showed how they believe that footage was tampered with and the third part the we were given a listen to an audio recording which was said to be a conversation between a ukrainian colonel and some other ukrainian officer and well a lot of bombs left in there on purpose by the russian defense ministry to show that they did not alter or edit that well that recording in any way and here is the key bits from it was me about getting me a live. report for me what yes it would it what. we should do more if you were if you saw it would you. want that already but normally rather how ready now official ukraine has already branded this new information that the russian defense ministry has brought to light.
