5:05 pm
president indicated once again how to counter it will continue in the future of the restructuring of. the region together. a defense ministry says it's identified the missile which brought down the lazy airlines flight m eight seventeen in two thousand and fourteen it is done of breaks down the findings so what the russian defense ministry has done is they took 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 message 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 of it in its own are quite documents and what they found was act. actually the passport of that very missile that which tracks the whole life cycle of that missile back
5:06 pm
from the moment when it was produced manufactured in 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 just based 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 well mean 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
5:07 pm
analyzed by the official investigation and the russian defense ministry showed how they believe that footage was tampered with and the third part to 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 about getting me a live. report for me what year it would it what. we should do more if you were if you so would you. rule out that already but the woman your mother who already now official ukraine has already branded this new information that the russian defense ministry has brought to light as fake but russian and stern is saying that they are open to scrutiny. they are ready indeed to pass on these new documents to the joint
5:08 pm
investigative team to the official investigation and they can very fine the authenticity of those documents all by themselves assumed definitely a new twist in the investigation of the downing of m h seventeen back in july of two thousand and fourteen the boeing passenger plane flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur crashed in the. at the height of the conflict in eastern ukraine all two hundred ninety eight people on board were killed including eighty children. says the new materials have been handed over to the dutch team investigating the tragedy meanwhile the joint investigation team earlier reacted to the newly released documents saying that the red to examine them as soon as they are provided by moscow experts have told us that this new evidence is important for the investigation process i hope they would 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
5:09 pm
i think it should absolutely impact all 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 there straight into the 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 distancing themselves 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
5:10 pm
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 a senior researcher at the norwegian foreign policy institute told us politicians didn't understand the consequences of the intervention. artists in. the coalition government are and they the damage this is what has happened that often is hard pain and death but they are expressing the will rarely gets it. also they are saying that they that they didn't understand but if you. would talk with you. may have the. gift or they were mainly doing good but even if they're doing these things and the old order the. big. red as.
5:11 pm
the. what was argued by almost all the the. players in this. obviously there are some of them for the humanitarian reasoning. basically in this. regime change. i don't think that's necessary all of these people dismiss. the u.s. envoy to the united nations is accused russia of violating sanctions against north korea kerry made that claim at a security council session in new york the 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 last month the independent panel of experts on the employment taishan of north korean
5:12 pm
sanctions submitted its by in your report to the sanctions committee the report contained evidence of multiple russian sanction violations we have seen and read this report but when the panel submitted the report to the security council last week we noticed something deeply troubling. the evidence of russian violations that was detailed in the earlier report was missing. it had been removed from the open section of the report. apparently russia threatened to prevent release of the report unless its demands to hide the evidence of its knowledge since was met we then heard a response after these these series of allegations were made by the us representative nikki haley after she spoke and made all kinds of allegations against russia we heard a response from the representative of the russian federation now he proceeded to
5:13 pm
desex these allegations and claims and before he did that he pointed out that it was interesting that a meeting about north korea seemed to be turning into a meeting about russia. regarding the time coup which allegedly violates its think sions the expert group has concluded that it did not complete the claim that we deleted posts of the report containing violations by russian companies is not true however these claims food along with the policy of my. own pyongyang the us is trying to take control of the un security council i have a feeling sometimes that the us confuses the un security council with its own us national security council now the russian ambassador also criticized the united states for blocking railway connections between north and south korea saying that other interested dialogue should be encouraged as they move ahead to try and resolve the nuclear issue on the peninsula one thing that stood out in the remarks
5:14 pm
from the russian ambassador was that he pointed out that a lot of progress has been made he said just a year ago it seemed like the security council was frequently meeting to discuss north korea but now we've seen a meeting between the head of state of the united states and the head of state of north korea meeting has taken place progress is being made and that that optimism should be the way this issue is being approached that a lot of progress is being made in the situation is moving ahead so quite an interesting meeting we've heard those allegations against russia from the united states and then we also heard the representative of russia responding and distracting those allegations. ok experience of brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition good to have you on bryant we've heard the claims from nikki haley against russia violating sanctions against north korea and how much you know about this but you know what's your opinion on this do you think there's any credence to what they're saying. still bad nikki haley didn't live in say fourteen
5:15 pm
ninety two she could've campaigned for the position of the grand inquisitor and during the spanish inquisition because that's how she conducts american diplomacy at the united nations pillory in russia for not sanctioning north korea at the same time the united states that will matic representatives always are our chastising the europeans for not doing enough economic damage through sanctions mechanisms on russia itself. look here's the real situation the united states has used its force its power to impose sanctions on north korea that are designed really to cripple the country the united states policy and the other members of the security council went along with that i think to try to keep the united states within the boundaries of the united nations so that the u.s. would not carry out a unilateral war against north korea but those those sanctions are designed to starve the people of korea and make sure they don't have electricity and at the same time and not have he during the winter another words really drastic and at the
5:16 pm
same time the united states which has seven thousand nuclear weapons and routinely carries out nuclear tests and routinely carries out i.c.b.m. tests and can routinely modernizes its own nuclear arsenal in defiance and in opposition to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty all of this is because north korea has six nuclear weapons obviously what the united states is really afraid of is peace breaking out in the korean peninsula nikki haley's comments come as you know on the eve of the next summit between the north korean leadership kim jong un in moon jai in the leadership of south korea the u.s. wants the d. rail of this process or at least some people in the trumpet ministration i would say the majority certainly want to derail this process just picking off the back of what you said do you think that this pressure from the u.s. could overshadow this historic event. yes indeed i mean that's that's the whole point of this theatrical operation by the grand inquisitor
5:17 pm
nikki haley it's to change the subject in korea people are looking at the summit they're looking at the possibility of integrating the two koreas of ending the division of ten million families families are coming together and seen each other the north and the south as the russian diplomat pointed out had agreed to have an interconnected railroad between south and north korea i mean korea was a was a unitary culture for five thousand years it was the united states using the u. n. command in pre-mature which it still enjoys at the d.m.z. all these years after the armistice that was signed in one thousand fifty three use that authority that blocked a railroad between north and south korea again the u.s. hates the idea of peace breaking out in the korean peninsula all this talk about human rights or nuclear weapons with north korea as a nuclear threat warning that's just so much being ass and the reason for it is because the u.s. can't really say what it wants to do which is to maintain
5:18 pm
a. status of permanent tension and near confrontation because it helps arms manufacturers in the united states continue to sell weapons to already bloated defense budgets. with the korea meeting tomorrow how do you feel about that do you what do you think there are signs that the something positive can come out of it. yes i mean if you look at the last year all of the good progress has really come from north and south koreans they want to live together they want to have peace they want to end the war they want to have economic integration this frightens the united states because the united states sees south korea not as an ally but as an extension of american power another words america took the place of japanese colonialism and created south korea as a colonial entity not in name but in reality and the u.s. fears any kind of reunification in. korea or among koreans will diminish american
5:19 pm
presence in this important part of the world but yes i have a lot of optimism because i think koreans north and south want this to happen finally just the comments about the un security council we see nikki haley suppose it's the nature of the beast nikki haley's always of making accusations and complaining perhaps it's just the nature of the council but the russian ambassador the benzine said the u.s. seems to be confusing the u.n. security council with the u.s. is only national security council he was joking but does he have a point there does the u.s. treat the u.n. security council like its own. of course it does i mean i think it's actually been quite soft and nice and polite in ironical and joking and sarcastic he could be even more forthright i mean whenever the united nations doesn't go along with the united states the u.s. uses nato to carry out wars of aggression like it did in yugoslavia when the security council wouldn't go along or it created a coalition of the willing to invade and destroy iraq in two thousand and three it
5:20 pm
only supports the united nations when the united nations signs off and americans american wars of aggression when the u.n. says independently no we don't want that the united states is a fierce critic of the other parties in the united nations and it just goes its own way anyway the u.n. is only useful to the us if it's a fig leaf for us aggression good to speak to appreciate you coming on brownback if and what answers. on to other news now the university of maryland in the u.s. has issued leaflets inviting white students to join a group called white awake to discuss racial issues do you want to improve your ability to brulé to and connect with people different from you soon. do you sometimes feel uncomfortable confused before during interactions with racial and ethnic minorities. do you want to become a better ally this group of was
5:21 pm
a safe space for white students to explore their experiences questions reactions and feelings the campus counseling centers now remove the flyers claiming they were misunderstood and also change the name of the group to anti racism an ally building group people are divided on the issue. is giving people 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 don't every identity group have their space and should not have a positive had gender and goal to be approved the way i interpret it is that white people are being victimized by interacting with us from my understanding 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
5:22 pm
a white affinity group we put the issue up for debate with political activist antony rogers right and social commentator anthony bryan logan. i think that i'm not sure why white people would need to feel safe on a college campus person i don't think that they are in any imminent danger and they certainly aren't in any more danger than say muslim students certainly students of color i think that as we heard from some of the students the poor execution you know the name of the group having to change from white to weight is an indication that they pretty much aren't very educated on the issues of racism in the first place personally i don't see anything wrong with have been a group that is one particular race or they has one particular race and it's i do you can so shape with whatever you want to associate with you can have a white group black group asian group and all these other groups exist there's never any kind of problem nobody says anything about and i see no organization on
5:23 pm
campus the black organization on campus and age an organization on campus but we have a white organization all of that is a problem either we have many groups there are no specific groups or we allow all of them yeah so so two things i mean i think we have to be clear and stating that first of all people of color especially black people can and cannot be racist ok because racism only if we change it is an racial prejudice there is no there's no debate as race racism is not something that you can just turn on the tone and on off color anybody could be racist that that's not your you have to have power to be racist you have to have power black people don't have power most latin next people don't have power native american people don't have power now i would deny that black and brown people can be bigoted but that is different from racism racism is racial prejudice i mean it's power that according to say today you have to have power to be racist i mean when did i definition become the standard like i never
5:24 pm
seen it before is it exactly legalese i mean i mean i don't think that like we can go by a dictionary that was written mainly by white people. to force standard definition on an issue like racism as we saw in the scene not next of spike lee's movie when you look at that dictionary and just look at the definitions of white and black you can already see implicit bias and racial prejudice right right just in those two words that were in this particular group i think they they were more on the extreme liberal side they're trying to actually come together and help those so called people of color people just saw their flyer and automatically get offended without taken a time to really understand what's going on and that's why he changed his name because i didn't want anybody to just think automatically oh we're some kind of racist hateful group and they're really on the side of the left i think this right here eggs an example of the left eating their own we'll have updates for you hospitality .
5:25 pm
