3:02 pm
with the coach as the latest very important decisions were indeed made during those hours so long talks between a russia and turkey now the deescalation zone was hanging in the year during the negotiations but the two leaders seem to disagree all the way through with that's why this particular agreement which was so force of the press conference came as a surprise to so many now of the both sides agreed to create a demilitarized zone between the militants and a government troops of around fifteen to twenty kilometers by the fifteenth of october and also during the press conference of the turkish president said that to gather with russia they will radek a terrorism in the region ruggieri their beauty together with russia we will make maximum effort to get rid of radical groups from this territory and turkey and russia will patrol this territory to ensure compliance right after the talks are
3:03 pm
russia's defense minister announced that there is going to be a no military offensive on at their p. also added that all of the details of the agreement which was the which to date will be discussed with this they were in government of very soon during the upcoming talks the situation in the province of idlib has been a crucial topic of discussions for weeks on the international the extremists from. punishing people before they get that so and we saw most recently when de mistura the un envoy for syria said that he would go to syria personally with a team in order to construct humanitarian corridors so that civilians could leave into syria and get protection from this. one slide that might be coming and all of the radical jihadist groups said no they cannot do that for the reasons that you point out which is make them very vulnerable and they started setting up
3:04 pm
a gallows where people who violated a talk the regime work used to being traitors and it's the rebels said they would hang up so that could still go on even if there is this deal. is it as simple as it sounds create this will stop the conflicts between the government forces and those who oppose them or result america wants them dead. but it doesn't want syria to come out and it doesn't want the humanitarian crisis so in many ways this also suits the united states it helps their outcome it's slows down in beijing but it keeps it contained to it. for all the reasons that you have explained this seems like it's a great solution for everybody except perhaps the terrorists does this just put the conflict on pause and what would you anticipate will happen next if it's possible to anticipate. well it does put on notice you know that's.
3:05 pm
only if the rebels agree to move back but if they don't move back turkey is going to have to take action of the ukrainian officers and oh 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 from me what you would what bruck. we should do more if you were if you. want don't go 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 rushing it 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 all by themselves so definitely
3:06 pm
a new twist in the investigation of the downing of m h seventeen. back in july of two thousand and fourteen the m a seventeen boeing flying from amsterdam to the malaysian capital kuala lumpur crashed in the donetsk region just as the conflict in east ukraine escalated and. t. children were among the almost three hundred people on board who were killed. said that the new materials had been handed over to a representative of the dutch side of the investigation in while the joint investigation team reacted to the newly released documents saying that they are ready to examine them as soon as they're provided by moscow experts have told us that this new evidence is important for the investigation. i hope they will take it seriously and take what evidence the russians can provide i mean 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
3:07 pm
excluded so it just came down to the dutch ukrainians the australians and malaysians 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 well on the first that this is very important new evidence that's 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 there and i imagine the jade have been expecting to receive or at least have wanted to receive the fact that they were able to 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
3:08 pm
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. crowds gathered in the libyan capital on sunday calling for the president and. other top politicians to quit they were protesting of the disastrous situation which remains in deep political crisis since some struggle broke out seven years ago libya remains divided by rival governments and armed groups. on governments based in tripoli and backed by the u.n. the other is into broken controls the east of the country some zones are still controlled by militias and isis years after they helped ignite the violence some european countries are now starting to express regret at their involvement in the nato led intervention in libya. 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
3:09 pm
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 uprising started in february twenty eleven in such situations decision makers of information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted americans 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 turned to us and asked 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 it was by the book there was even a un security council resolution on the situation to cover them if you ignore all
3:10 pm
the commentators warning the resolution did not green flag the mass bombing of libya norway's report also reveals there was practically no one else this before jumped in 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 saw play in responsible the first shooting that killed two and wounded ten more at the headquarters of the state oil company and the top off the water there were invited to come over for oil for the government by the way oh it. perhaps unsurprisingly some politicians in norway are now distancing themselves
3:11 pm
from the decision given what we know today this was 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 the shattered nation. senior researcher at the norwegian foreign policy institute told us politicians didn't understand the consequences of
3:12 pm
the intervention. arc this is. 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 from the gets of it. also they're saying that they that they didn't understand this. without that with the what may have the. if all they were mainly doing these were the military and these lists and the old order the the stuff. they had out there and you know rick perry and it may not be in full force argued by. all the key. players in this. obviously there are more dems will be on the humanitarian reasoning you know. basically interested in. receiving change getting rid of gaddafi i don't think that's necessarily all many people dismiss the youngest. a

3:17 pm
says the two leaders have taken a crucial step toward syria peace the decision is very important indeed it leaves stadium on one there is no floor of migration there is no fighting there is no expected clash between the government forces and the radical groups i think. speaking both president. very unexpected result in a positive. in the long run and probably does the militarized zone will be the way where the radical groups believe. not only the people but also. after fifty an awful lot of president putin said more of probably. will be hard to make clean up from most radical groups i think the meeting between president indicated once again how these two contraries will continue

a place to express their opinions on race and discuss important topics in a safer environment in general when people who are white discuss the topic it's seen as inherently racist why not to do it every identity group have their space and should not have a positive had to end goal to be approved the way i interpret it is that white people are being victimized by interacting with us for a minder standing it's simply a space for white students to get woke and learn to dismantle dangerous social preconceptions they might have these uncomfortable conversations but necessary for social progress the only harm i see is that becoming a white affinity group we put this issue up for debate with political scientist anthony rogers right and social commentator and me brian logan. i think that i'm not sure why white people would need to be or see on a college campus person i don't think that they are in any imminent danger and they
