colluded had a chance to have 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 though 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 let me authoritatively relieved. but for me what you would it what . we should do more if you were if you so would you. want that already but the woman you love that already now official ukraine has already branded this new information that the russian defense ministry has brought to light as fake but
12:01 pm
russian and stern is saying that they are open to scrutiny that they are ready indeed to pass on these new documents to the joint investigative team to the official investigation and they can very fine the authenticity of those documents by themselves so definitely a new twist in the investigation of the downing of m h seventeen back in july twenty four team the mh seventeen boeing flying from amsterdam to the malaysian capital kuala lumpur crashed into the net screeching just as the conflict in east ukraine had escalated eighteen children were among the almost three hundred people on board who were killed and russia has just said that new materials have been handed over to representative of the dutch side of the investigation meanwhile the joint investigative team earlier reacted to the newly released documents they said they are ready to examine them as soon as they're provided by moscow we spoke to experts who told us this new evidence is important for the investigation. i hope they would take it seriously and take what evidence the russians can provide i mean
12:02 pm
they they've refused to take a lot of evidence over the last few years seemingly more content to just immediately point the finger to russia within the first few days after the incident i think it should absolutely impact the overall investigation russia said right from the start of this investigation that they should be included in it and were excluded so it just came down to the dutch ukrainians the australians and malaysians and we have a situation where the evidence as presented by the russians today actually seems to back up some already publicly disclose some very important information released by the joint investigation team while on the fact that this is very important new evidence has been presented by the russian defense ministry it's only just been released we're going to have to look at it in great detail and of course that's going to be the position that the joint investigation team will i'm sure take they will be came to look at it and also be keen to be seen to be looking at this evidence very closely it's a very it's a fairly obvious piece of evidence actually the only imagine the jade i've been
12:03 pm
expecting to receive or at least i've wanted to see the fact that they were bitter identify the missile concerned through at least partial or full serial numbers of course the next obvious step would be to trace and track work that happened with that missile from the point of its manufacture to the point of its destruction or deployment or scrapping and that's what the russians seem to have done by filling in that missing picture. just on seven pm in moscow back to one of our top stories this evening the russian and turkish presidents are meeting in solitude to discuss the situation in a province you can see behind me a lot of expectation there media gathered to hear the start of the conference to any moment now there are hopes of course they couldn't out's progress towards peace in the last terrorist and rebel in syria before the talks the russian president so they had hoped to resolve the issues where they have differences but need to find agreement. for his part expressed optimism
12:04 pm
a compromise could be reached he stressed the importance of taking action against terror groups among rebel factions in the province of the turkish leader also called for alternatives to bombing the area dubbed the pretext of fighting terrorism. but in a question of stories she has more on the two countries. where do russia and turkey stand well turkey fear is that out large scale a fountain of against will cause a new influx of refugees into its territory already is hosting three and a half a million syrians so turkish officials are saying that they are ready to cooperate with anyone in fighting terrorism the war with iran the war with united. all partners. in syria so the positions of all players are so
12:05 pm
very different and that is what makes the 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 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 you know to nations estimates up to ten thousand. terrorists remain in posing a threat not only to those living but also to people in border regions as well as well. the journalist. recently retired from the country she told us about the
12:06 pm
situation in the rest of syria as well as what mainstream media going to show. there i talked to the civil sorry 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've said you know they've been suffering nobody is talking about it and they're looking forward to the liberation of it because it will ease their suffering it will it will mean the sation of these terrorists. 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 modern day. and what syrians i've spoken with around the country on previous visits and currently say they want
12:07 pm
a restoration of all of syria to peace and they want an end to the terrorism that's 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. all 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 laid 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 think whatever they want to call them we will kill them if they participate in amnesty and reconciliation so clear. yes there is a desire for
12:08 pm
a peaceful resolution to this and the syrian russian government has been offering tools for such a peaceful resolution. crowds gathered in the libyan capital on sunday calling for the president and other top politicians to quit their protesting over the disastrous situation in the country which remains in deep political crisis since struggle broke out seven years ago libya remains divided by rival governments and armed groups want to government is posed. by the united nations the other is in tobruk controls a large part of the east of the country some zones are still controlled by militias and islamic state and years after they helped ignite the violence some european countries and i was starting to express regret at their involvement in the nato led intervention in libya so has this report. 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 a shock norwegian state commission report now admits the country knew next to
12:09 pm
nothing about what they were doing and actually went to war relying on media reports. norway had very limited knowledge of libya when the uprising started in february twenty eleven in such situations decision makers often rely on information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted americans the international community offered gadhafi a final chance to stop this campaign of killing or face the consequences for attacks by regime forces on the libyan citizens when they turned to us and asked us for help stopping a massacre how do you say no so also jumped on the bandwagon playing an alarmingly significant role and why shouldn't they it was by the book there was even a un security council resolution on the situation to cover them if you ignore all the commentators warning the resolution did not green flag the mass bombing of
12:10 pm
libya norway's report also reveals there was practically no one else this before jumped it and there are no written sources indicating that before deciding to send warplanes to libya the government assist the type of conflict norway was taking part in now that failure could hardly have had more serious consequences the country now lies in ruins seven years on libya is still being ripped apart by rival governments well wishers armed to the teeth and islamist militants just last week i simply under sponsibility for a shooting that killed two and wounded ten more at the headquarters of the state oil company at the top of the slaughter there are reports of infighting among the for oil for the government backed by the us oh oh. oh oh perhaps unsurprisingly some politicians in norway are now distancing themselves from the decision given what we know today this was
12:11 pm
a war for a regime change norway should not have participated in the libyan war. when you look at what happened next with libya becoming a terrorism hotspot this is not a decision to be proud of of course they're not the first to come to that sorry conclusion the u.k. parliament got there two years ago this report determines the u.k. policy in libya before and since the intervention of march two thousand and eleven was founded on a road use assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the country and the situation and barack obama infamously admitted the aftermath was the biggest mistake of his presidency but that's likely to bring little comfort to the civilians still reeling in a shattered nation a senior research fellow at the norwegian foreign policy institute told us politicians didn't understand the consequences of intervention at the time artists
12:12 pm
were listening in the coalition government aren't they but them that this is what has happened that all of that is part of it but they are expressing some cigarettes are. also there saying that they didn't understand but. without that with. what may have. different or they've been mainly doing this for the military and police this and also for the leader of the standing in. the american military and in. the. force argued by some of the key. players in this. obviously there are some of them saw the humanitarian reasoning you know. basically in just. regime change getting rid of gadhafi i don't think that's necessarily all many people dismiss the. army back very shortly just after this break do you say to not international.
12:13 pm

12:14 pm

12:16 pm
observed a considerable growth in mutual trade over the past seven months the growth has been thirty four percent and now it's over fifteen billion dollars and over the past year the increase was. about fourteen percent. in many respects this was thanks to the agreements we've reached during. our seventh. meeting on the corporation on the higher level. between our ministries but russia. has. some restrictions on the agricultural products exported from turkey and have created conditions favorable conditions for russian products to be delivered to. our corporations is boosted by the increase of the share of national of our national currencies in our trade and we believe that this will allow us to
