people about also. the turkish president wasn't exaggerating when he said the world's eyes were on this meeting stakes are so high here for the gulf states for the west especially they spent untold billions arming and financing the syrian rebels only to lose. we consider any assault on it leaped to be a reckless escalation of the conflict if assad russia and iran continue down the path they're on the consequences will be dire the world will hold them responsible how much of that was genuine concern for civilians and how much is bitterness over losing you decide for yourself it's occurring that we have the discussions that are ongoing discussions we are one and president putin. is for as you watch what's taking place on the ground as you see it start to see the potential of this
10:04 pm
and i think i think. the discussions that are having reduced down a path of a potential where you can get something that was kinetic if they're actually engaging in a level of dialogue nevertheless the united states pentagon seem cheered by this latest deal a bloody battle has been averted and geodes to being marginalized but perhaps most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened rarely. russia's defense ministry says it has identified the missile which brought down the malaysia airlines flight m.h. seventeen back in two thousand and fourteen it goes down off breaks down the findings. so what the russian defense ministry has done is they took the serial number of the missing child published earlier by the official investigation and the joint investigative team say that they took that serial number from
10:05 pm
a piece of 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 match them try to find mentions of it in its own archive documents and what they found was actually the passport of that very mess of that which tracks the whole life cycle of that missile back 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 eight hundred six it was transported by train to the military base two zero one five two today it is based which still uses missiles of this type is in the ukrainian destructible 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
10:06 pm
relevant documents they used to be top secret and now they have been unclassified for the sake of the investigation in fact they were displayed in the room where the briefing was held so all journalists will 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 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 russians. fence 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. me live. but for me what year flip would it what.
10:07 pm
should you know if you were if you saw it would you. want 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 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 by themselves so definitely a new twist in the investigation over the downing of m h seventeen. back in july two thousand and fourteen the plane flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur crashed in the darnedest region of the height of the conflict in eastern ukraine all two hundred ninety eight people on board were killed that included eighty children. russia says the new materials have been handed over to the dutch team investigating the tragedy meanwhile the joint investigation team reacted to new release documents
10:08 pm
saying they're ready to examine them as soon as they're provided by moscow experts told us this new evidence is important for the investigation process. i hope they will take it seriously and take what evidence the russians can provide to 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 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 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 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
10:09 pm
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 have been expecting to receive or at least i 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 the missile from the point of its manufacture to the point of its destruction or deployment or scrap. and that's what the russians seem to have to have done by filling in that missing picture. president of trump has announced a new round of tariffs on imports from china they cover a broad range of kids worth hundreds of billions of dollars can a balkan reports well there's been a great deal of anticipation for donald trump's next move regarding trade
10:10 pm
negotiations with china we now have an official statement from donald trump himself regarding that situation now there's been a lot of talk yes after they helped ignite the violence some european countries are now starting to express regrets of their involvement in the nato led into vention in libya jacqueline reports in march of two thousand and eleven norway committed to the military intervention in libya leading to the ousting of gadhafi and the ruine country we see today but 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 off to malone information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted americans the international community
10:11 pm
offered 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 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 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
10:12 pm
governments well wishers armed to the teeth and islamist militants just last week by supplying response ability for a shooting that killed two and wounded ten more at the headquarters of the state oil company at the top of the water there were invited to come over for oil for government by the way oh no. perhaps unsurprisingly some politicians in norway are now 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.
10:13 pm
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. the u.s. envoy to the united nations has accused russia of violating sanctions against north korea nikki haley made that claim at the 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 implementation of north korean sanctions submitted its bi annual report to the sanctions committee the report contains
10:14 pm
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 violations was met with regarding the tanker which allegedly violated sanctions the expert group has concluded that it did not secondly the claim that we deleted part of the report containing violations by russian companies is not true however these claims fall in line with the policy of maximum pressure on pyongyang the us is trying to take
10:15 pm
control of the un security council i have a feeling sometimes that the u.s. confuses the un security council with its own u.s. national security council but the south korean president has arrived in the north for a summit here in jane was greeted out pyongyang at ports by the north korean leader kim jong un the south korean president is accompanied by a two hundred strong delegation is bringing with him business leaders including the heads of samsung and l.g. is that there is into korean summit this year the previous meetings took place on the border say but this is the first time in ten yes this is south korean media has visited pyongyang him and moon are expected to discuss an ongoing peace plan d. to rise asian they could sign a bilateral measure agreements. and as we mentioned visit comes just after the u.s. accused russia of violating sanctions against north korea antiwar activist brian baca believes washington does not want to see pace emerge on the korean peninsula.
10:16 pm
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 and the u.s. fears any kind of reunification in korea or among koreans will diminish american presence in this important part of the world on the eve of the next summit between the north korean leadership kim jong un and lone jai in the leadership of south korea the u.s. wants that the rail this process or at least some people in the trumpet ministration i would say the majority certainly want to derail this process. the university of maryland in the u.s. has issued leaflets inviting white students to join a group called white awake to discuss race issues. do you want to improve your
10:17 pm
ability to relate to and connect with people different from you soon. do you sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before during interactions with racial and ethnic minorities do you want to become a bit ally this group of was the safe space for white students to explore their experiences questions reactions and feelings. the campus counseling center has now removes the flyers claiming they were misunderstood it's also changed the group's name to anti racism and ally building group people are divided on the issue. it's 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 i'm sure most have a positive agenda and goal to be approved the way i interpret it is that white
10:18 pm
people are being victimized by interacting with us from our 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 a white affinity group we put the issue up for debates with perth collectivist and me were just right and social commentator and brian 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
10:19 pm
place personally i don't see anything wrong with have been a group that is one particular race or the has one particular race and it's i do you can so shape with 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 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 as an racial target as there is no there's no debate as race racism is not something that you can just turn on it's own off color anybody could be racist that that's not true 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
