a repeat of the armed conflict hundred isn't for the undermining of resolution twelve forty four and taking place not only with the direct act but with the knowledge and with the support of leading western countries. when you feel for. international security per residence that is the case for which is located in the region based on the resolution to. have twenty's buno that will poke a fork is very selective in implementing its mandate suitable as you know just recently in the service but in your hobby elated northern regions of the country how much pretext of ensuring security large scale exercise of k. for work carried out with the participation of dozens of armored vehicle that you need to really look at down on the ground disappeared as another episode intimidating cause of. it and meanwhile in albanian we exercise have never been

held to believe in a criminal case of a blatantly provocation and violence for example when the. member of the road using barricades so as not to allow the president of serbia mr age to visit the serbs in one of the down to the region. when a violation of the freedom of movement especially against dignitaries was naturally . dignitary was not met with an appropriate reaction by k. for the girl who no doubt framework of his case for one. has been systematically training i've been in personnel of the k.s.r. for a long time this is it goes outside the scope of the mandate of cavan for the ideas not to. deal with tax relief or civil defense but rather to train special. specialized. units this is done. on the site of the bone still which was set up in violation of resolution twelve. before.

it was ready it was set up but in line with the implementation of resolution twelve forty three. of the functioning of this base is totally lacking transparency here we demanding comprehensive and full accountability of pay for the security council both on the use of month still in hand on the deployed personnel there and the material and technical resources available then assume of the gentlemen who really have been very disappointed about the position of european union on the one hand and who claims to play the role of the active mediator on the other hand in this regard zot illegal creation of the course of our army. was the reaction of the the us because of the latest decision of his priest in can only be called as toothless at the business to this why did you do this irresponsible and to face policy has crossed the dangerous threshold. emergence of the so-called cause of army

represents an existential threat for serbs and it's clear why it's enough to say that in the ranks of one k.m.'s out there without a lot of former fighters if you have cause or so-called kosovo liberation army which was responsible for your crimes and crimes against humanity in the during the conflict you have the victims of these crimes are serbs representatives of national . minorities and dissident albanians individuals who committed crimes including of your direction of the people and removal of their organs in order to sell them on the black market continue to hide from punishment coupled with it you should know we keep hearing promises year after year that the national tribunal on the crimes of the kalay well would supposedly ensure that justice prevails while such promises are harder and harder to take seriously and the most serious concern room is about the possibility of an incursion of unarmed kosovo albanian units into the northern front of populated regions of the crossover in order to establish. control by force

of pristina over the whole territory and so not a preview now of a trigger on such a scenario could lead to bloodshed and become a real catastrophe to return the balkans a period of years turmoil and barry everitt. efforts undertaken by the international community over the past few decades so fortunately there is a will not produce upmost and we're not sure that i believe build any other or that readiness of the international lead and their presence in the region to prevent such a blitzkrieg scenario. that. the attitude . of serbia is marked by responsibility and restraint they have they have made an appeal to the kosovar serbs to remain calm and not to react to provocations as well as they are seeking to ease tensions only through diplomatic means of the at the same time if we also believe that it is essential to take you very seriously the

message of the leadership in serbia by the fact that in the case of an incursion by kosovo albanians who in forces you to the north and or attempt to conduct programs against serbs in other parts of course of a belgrade will protect them we believe that the main responsibility in your book was for ensuring him protection of. the shoulders of the international security president because of this further more here in accordance with paragraph nine b. of lewdness resolution twelve forty dozen different gave more than our duty bound to take comprehensive and immediate measures to a minimum demilitarization and disbanding of any armed kosovo albanian united as more as it was when the decision to create the armed forces of a host of a widget violates the resolution it must be reversed immediately we need. that the u.n. mission because of on making an agreement of its mandate will continue to play an

active role in ensuring that this is what i. additions for peace for normal life of all inhabitants of the region protecting and promoting human rights and contributing to the political process we also hope that the european union and also use. the sources including it's been present and the stabilization in the socio agreement a little priest to prevent future due to a ration in a situation and will contribute to revoking the trade tariffs the decisions on trade tariffs and the armed forces that were recently taken by priests in conclusion it's important to point out how counterproductive. and we supporters of priests in our to cover. the worsening situation in kosovo of the from the eyes of the international community and to prevent the regular consideration of the kosovo item by the security council i mean this kind of policy has become one of the reasons why you have for the current crisis situation in this

region because it's spawned a feeling of that anything is permitted and a sense of unity among those calls were authority money this intuition of course of a must you know this isn't just the intention of the council the timetable for the consideration of what we've just been watching the brushing representative at the u.n. security meeting and came open reporting from new york just as today security council meeting got underway. well it's an emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the united nations called by serbia and russia and it was called in response to the announcement from kosovo that it intends to transform its four thousand strong security force into a regular army let's review. with this move today a new era starts for our country from this moment officially we have the kosovo army got the job. at this point serbia considers the formation of this army in

kosovo to be a great threat to its security and to be a violation of the un security council resolution now kosovo was a province of serbia and it came under un and nato administration after a nineteen ninety nine air war led by nato in which there was a crackdown going on against albanian ethnic separatists in kosovo in response to that these there was a nato bombing campaign now a security council resolution established that kosovo would be under interim un administration now kosovo proclaimed independence in two thousand and eight and many countries recognized it as independent let's review what happened. you can. go to. we'll know.

the full amount of the republic. russia and china which are both permanent members of the un security council they do not recognize kosovo as an independent country and furthermore it's important to point out that the united states indeed does recognize kosovo as an independent country the decision to form an army was supported by washington however some in nato are saying it's not very good timing. well the transition of the kosovo security forces in principle a matter for kosovo to decide we have made clear that this move is ill timed nato supports the development of kosovo security force under its current mandate with a change of mandates the north atlantic council will now have to reexamine the level of nato is engagement with the course of a security force so at this point serbia is rather outraged about this announcement

of a kosovo an army we'll be updating you as the meeting continues here in new york city at the united nations headquarters. the russian foreign ministry has lashed out at the b.b.c. calling it cynical after messages were leaked from a correspondent to possible connections between moscow and the yellow vest movement in france in one of their reporters messages it's claimed her editors were quote out for blood well maybe some russian business is capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protesters eating cutlass may be the far right who really does their i'm looking for angles yes the editors demand some blood. the link to messages were published by russia's ria novosti news agency it comes just a week after a number of media outlets allege that russian automated accounts were helping to fuel the anger seen on the streets of france the french authorities have launched an investigation into the claims. b.b.c. has told r.t.

it was reasonable for its news team to look into potential connection in light of the french government own statement on this possibility because the french foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject however in the end her reports made no mention of a possible connection with russia at all we stand by our impartial independent journalism . we also asked b.b.c. russia if it's still looking for connections between moscow and french protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue that particular angle but it declined to comment the russian foreign ministry has criticised the b.b.c. accusing it of acting with cynicism. the cynicism of journalists is amazing but talking about a company that has propagated all its life an unbiased and then dependent approach and its professionalism is the epitome of the media world i have a question for this very british regulators of the media space and the public how

did the value of this kind of compilation of facts then please of their television and radio companies are due in went on to the streets of paris to ask people if they thought russians are somehow interfering everything's possible nowadays. and. you know of course they're not behind the man they say the russians are behind the us presidency as well so you know yourself of course. but we've asked a number of journalism groups to comment and we'll bring you any responses as we get them in and we'll also discuss the issue with journalist and writer neil clark and british politician and writer george galloway. the truth is our media class has allowed itself to become trapped in russell for b.-a when everything about us is falling around our ears luckily the british people are on to them the big

revelation over the last couple of weeks is that the british government is using public money to pay for all to pay for the c.e.o. of this information misinformation hostile attacks on the loyal opposition in parliament the british broadcasting corporation is no me of journalistic impartiality quite to the contrary well i think really it's got so much i don't think just about the b.b.c. . it's about the climate under which the b.b.c. is currently operating which is this crime of aggression phobia here in america and in other countries in the west and what we've got and the establishment in these countries anything that really threatens the status quo or possibility of a change in direction of the economy or the political system he's playing on russia i think the cards are being overplayed and right i think it's like the boy who cried was just shouting the russians the russians the russians so i go back to this is not really and i don't think the public are really buying it and he france

people know that there is widespread anger against michael. and i think this trying to link it with russia is really exposing people to being a conspiracy theorist as you actually what they are while saying with the protesters in france the country's prime minister has admitted in an interview the government made mistakes in tackling the movement he accepted the authorities had not innocent enough to the french people meanwhile the t.v. channel france three found itself quarter up in a scandal for doctoring the image of a poster belonging to a yellow vest protester the sign called for president micron's i think nation the word out which is seen in the original image had disappeared from the channel news broadcast france three blamed human error and said there had been no intent to hype the sign but people didn't believe the excuse on social media. open the photo fodder shot by mistake use or is a two by mistake believed out by mistake save the modified photo by overwriting

their original by mistake projected onto the plaque card by mistake watching france three by mistake that would happen again human error what i think to say they're really can ask for halts. i human error journalists editors the editor in chief the chief information officer all these people have therefore in-doors disli with kong's well done this public service. of the. on saturday yellow fest protesters flooded the streets of cities across france for a fifth consecutive weekend the number of demonstrators was down compared to previous weeks but clashes with police continued as massive forces were deployed again including offices on horseback and armored vehicles let's cross live now to

publish and write or a movie called and we thanks for coming on to the program now following an online outcry from three admitted the mistake and called it human area ira what is your take on that story and their explanation. of course anything is possible with the government the lax leeway as it is entangled in such a quagmire but i suppose it's more self censorship a kind of a interjection of censorship then censorship from above it's typical of the subservient journalism very obsequious with the established power in the past a famous newspaper paper suppressed for instance the little rooms of fat on the belly of for president nicolas sarkozy when he was a bare chested doing some collecting but anyway it speaks speaks volumes about the current situation in france of the this pressure against journalism would be maybe

speak about the so-called fake news law that the government has passed in this country and that will come into force next year. if if it wasn't a mistake and if it was deliberate would it say anything about the tunnels narrative i mean what do you know about the tunnels that are. generally speaking it's true that so what the mainstream media in france try to conceal is that though the yellow vests what's more macro to resign macro is a is a symbol of the globalization you don't know exactly all the reasons for their yellow vests are against globalization well where those it's from a ref point of view are far right point of view but last saturday they were all caring that kind of card it's true that cannot make a u. turn on that very topic it would be ridiculous he's compelled to to make talk and reforms but people want him to go away because they cannot live anymore and that in

such a despair when whether you like it or not so rigid side if an event is just a symbolical regicide is part of french culture french restrict macron said that such a thing as french culture doesn't exist the he would be surprise and think yeah i mean the channel did own up to this human error and we have to take their word for it but there was a long line backlash to exposing what had happened how likely is it that the channel whatever owned up had there not been a backlash. all that. having to having done it because there there is a count of power on the web but on the net i'm not sure when though the so-called fake news law will be you come into force next year this kind of account of power will could really blow currents roll. from the next elections on wards on may two

thousand and nineteen the superior council of audiovisual will have the right for instance to to ban foreign channels to to image in france and control the sources on the web always in the same direction of course because i doubt this this council superior council investigator on the recent case of photo doctoring and when the government decides what's right or wrong what's called true it would be like you're creating a new sort of truth or beginning the beginning of two really ok i'm on veal published in writer thanks very much for airing your views on our program thank you. oprah thank you. british prime minister trace of a has said the much anticipated vote on her breaks the deal will now take place in the third week of january just weeks before the country is due to walk through the exit door but the opposition labor leader jalal corbin is still slamming her deal

as an acceptable and accusing the peril of leading the country into a national crisis. another vote which would do irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics because it would say to millions who trusted him to mark prosy that our democracy does not deliver. another vote which would likely leave us no the further forward than the last and another vote which would further divide our country at the very moment to be should be working to unite and this is bigger we face an unprecedented situation the prime minister has led us into a national crisis standing out of his scratch marks a. last week the prime minister said i have made some progress mr speaker she has not made any progress and i have to ask what is the leadership the phrase which is often used i was taught the prime minister has reached rock bottom bush is still digging. thursday it will be one hundred days until britain leaves the european

union at the moment with. no deal and no plan b. . this is the constitutional crisis a prime minister may be aware of. the vote makers has been offering sixty six to warn against passing parliament could it be cabinet ministers that would preparing for a referendum are not being disloyal to her but simply veteran march yes. well the liberal democrat leader vince cable there was referring to reports cabinet members are said to be posturing moves towards a second referendum comes after former leaders john major and tony blair have also backed calls for another vote. has the latest. talk of a second referendum appears to be getting more serious and because it's not just coming from the opposition parties apparently it's coming from to reason may's own team over the weekend reports have emerged that her cabinet has split into two opposing camps one which along with her chief of staff is now reportedly mullings

the idea of letting harlem and decide on whether there should be a second referendum to potentially reverse brags that and the other camp of pro relievers who are adamantly against this plan now the prime minister herself has been attempting to the brochure for these various rumors and especially talk of a set a referendum in fact a spokesperson has just denied just rules but then again her spokesperson did deny the cancellation of the parliamentary vote on her brags that deal last week immediately before it was cancelled so make of that denials what you will now one of the people dead keen to reverse bragg's and to have a second referendum tony blair the former labor prime minister and he's been getting much more vocal about say on friday he did a whole load of interviews advocating for a second vote and criticising to reason may's bragg's it deal but the prime

minister isn't very happy about it take a listen to the levels of animosity between the former labor prime minister and the current conservative one dismissing to be. having this conversation a year or two they would say to me you know it's never going to happen another referendum now people are saying you know will could it really happen i need to get the european leaders to the next stage which is to realize the probability is it's going to happen and they've got to prepare for it there are too many people who want to subvert the process for their own political interest rather than acting in the national interest for tony blair to go to brussels and seek to undermine our negotiations by advocating for a second reference. i'm insulted your office he once held and the people he once served are remain determined to see that happen i will not lead to british people down now that type of rhetoric is rather unusual for to resume a it's not normally her style to be that confrontational but tony blair's behavior

has evidently rubbed terror up the wrong way but in a way that's plants with tony blair has provided for her a bit of a distraction from the chaos seemingly taking place in her own cabinet team right now in terms of where we all would have read that deal when it looks dead in the water and again after her renegotiation late last week in brussels totally failed and unless she pulls a greggs a rabbit out of her santas hat it looks like parliament is still expected to vote down the deal that she brings back to parliament after christmas which leaves the u.k. perilously close to a no deal brags that which is why we've got this rumor mill in overdrive talking about what potential options there could be one rejects to reason may's deal and yet on the surface all that talk of potentially there being a second referendum will parliament getting to choose what the next options are

that's being played down officially but behind the scenes the rumor is that all the options on now on the table i have to say the festive period is normally pretty quiet when it comes to news hacks but the media is having a field day with everything that's taking place right now in the political uncertainty all the rumors all the plotting behind ministers backs that's very good for the media they're having a jolly good time writing about all the various options taking place and really as you make your way through westminster you see all the leaves side the remains side everybody's got a few protesters out in front of parliament waving their flags advocating their positions and there is a sense that right now the situation is very much up in the air. senior politics later at lancaster university mark garnett believes most arguments being made against another referendum lacks substance. those arguments that mrs may.

not have a second referendum the only one i think that really makes any kind of sense is that while the public says that if we have this referendum that won't solve our problem because it will again be rather close all the other argument she's been using against a referendum a desperately thin she seems to be saying it would somehow be a betrayal of democracy which suggests that using the democratic process is somehow anti democratic the idea that the people have spoken once and shouldn't be allowed to speak again is rather strange so she's really on very very thin ice when she's talking on this subject but in the end this no dramatic movement in the polls and that might be if there were to be such a movement i really think that it would be impossible to stop a second referendum. on five thousand people took to the streets of the belgian capital on sunday to protest against migration.

thank the protesters tried to enter key buildings placed on a water cannon and take out and push them back and stray ssion comes in the same week out and signed up to a un migration deal that document was agreed by more than one hundred sixty un member states last month aims to find a common global applies to my question but critics say it will limit the ability of countries to shape their own migration policies chairman of the throwing of the flemish party parklands believes the protests have sent an important signal to the belgian government. and longs in a nation that has

a lot of protests for what we saw this weekend hours and of people flocking to the streets of brussels to great distance migration but a lot of those people are young people who have shown to grow just for the first time in their lives that's really something that's really new and now we can already see and we have seen the end of a party to live just he has we draw our own government he's very very. stressed out by this and how voters are going to react in the next election so yet things are finally starting to move in belgium as well to consider and look into the future but i think sardi's are starting to reel off. immigrant shoe migration penned into people objects is very very big issue that will have to be ruled by a major role and years. of iran that for stay tuned for.
