7:06 am
course operational it would be it was a conspiracy of international relations what were the world hold consultations you would it was this of even the usual that the laws that it would mean you still screwed up in the council don't want i don't think we need to all of this meeting of the police to ministers but we need consultations we should as a political system is security council vote that i don't you go through when you don't think we need to convene any if they would in releasing of the council because there is an issue has been in a place and view of the us has been the she while eighty's days through those should twenty two thirty one we need to demand just that and the u.s. supreme to comply but that is that's not going to happen we all know that when you get washington mr a shit on korea was very quickly about leads in. a small scale let's see if you do in the rising is collation on the spoke of possible in the region of the north rising tax at the center of the us you've said this key area i grew up suitably in the blue region and build up its military presence in
7:07 am
this will mean what all of us had said to applying forward. on your reply was that us when they feel secure in our putin is something normal in the fall of the us these days it's normal for the united states in that region and across the world including regards to venezuela it's very limited to bely social market yesterday and i met with europe as well we will supervise to pump air with. them urgently in what seems to diplomats use diplomacy and not threats when dealing with global. i also. need to dash the law will fall to the peaceful resolution of disputes but in circles to do that you need to be probably cultural be in the ways of what was said it seems that not everyone is cultures that way this is always cool because it will continue but who wishes for
7:08 am
a compromise based dialect we need to respect the interests of every particular bush that's the only way to do. it is counterproductive to impose your will and your decisions. russia today minister lavrov my question to joost. do you think. how the tensions between iran and iran. on which the region with his united states. heard us. on the issue on the other hand. limits. influence on the region and also significantly as the united states sending a strike group to the persian gulf they explain this move by the fact that believe iran is raising tensions in the region and there are some reports from the security services from the night of shades claiming that iran is preparing
7:09 am
a tax. grove and you know the conference nearby can we ask where that iran is actually going to wage war. for the. real question is regarding the impact of these stations the situation in syria well everything is intertwined very closely in the world of today which will be hearing a lot from the united states about the need to. know if you or any iranian even first protested on the region on syria this is unrealistic. this is to be sure to not go in with that should be considered a least serious policy. any major countries saudi arabia iran any other country which has us all so you'll need a un at least somebody just waiting in the region is interested lenient projecting
7:10 am
its influence over the proceeds which is happening around the country because of that influence it should be legitimately just a lot of them but all should stay within the framework of the national or should be to spare us so the scots could just neeraj presence as well as russians press this based on the glossary the national law and principles we work upon the quest of the legitimate authorities of syria. and we use our own scheme and give it with our because we're so used to iranian colleagues we are helping. syria out of that if you're in the shortcoming that it will tear or is the threat you're more ready made much headway and we still need to. finish this job you know the situation in the liberators about the loose record of us from now bearing a different name has a trace through it's been will be in the province it controls the situation it is shellings shells that regularly civilians as grew in the army alike in our.
7:11 am
air base it was which recently you can use the shells to work which we need to eradicate this theory so we discuss this with our to colleagues which side the memorandum in our military rules are actively engaged in implementing it to you in bitter years on the ground the more i would like to those who raise the alarm assist or do oftentimes people who do so with what is happening in other what the syrian army i mean he's doing just this memorandum this is not included a word a single word about the terrorists being protected don't put you know this memorandum which are the kind of verbs. the remember the readiness of the sides to those who are fighting terrorism as for the eastern side of your phrases well this is also a log make there. we know for a fact because foreign troops are situated there we know the special forces are situated they are still occupied territory no one asked them to scrub they are
7:12 am
staying there in egypt or mentally and they are playing the kurdish card these days lots of the control that is happening of the territories controlled by the americans and their allies are you sure from amman the groups which fight on the ground do leave the priesthood firmly believe that the kurdish issue should be settles and it should be celt also respective the tutorial. and sovereignty of every country where the kurds the. we believe that the kurds in syria should have their rights protected they are nation they have got builders you'll see their own history they lived in syria for centuries so these people like us the voters should leave their home territory stay young that is their heritage that is their history on the ticker and they had sabbaths which has sealed
7:13 am
the part of the u.s. to get it to lower c. of those who got ups relocate them to the territories where the era of tribes used to leave this is a very damaging paralysis supporter cuil least it's apparent in the news when the games and it's going to divide the us was in the spirit of everybody to contribute to the visitor which is good process and i mean to tell us what you throw is this we hope that our system of colleagues. deliver on their promise to respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of syria. as you can see the situation is very complicated we have. supposed succeeded in starting c.s. to the approach that rod to. have done that and then that the board should chill forward has allowed us to me a lot more headway with any other process she and it's interesting we achieved
7:14 am
a lot on the discoloration you're going to track the track of fighting terrorism on the track of it giving the military an aid to the people and we're working if you're slow to prepare the political process the countries are criticizing it times yes and therefore it. should say that but excuse for war stories for to stick close to the government of syria and the guarantors are too close to it to go whoosh host countries who demanded for the geneva talks to be renewed this responsibility i can tell you this did not or would any obstacles on the way out of committee starting the work of the constitutional committee it could have started working back in december last year how it is up with several western countries and you know what countries i'm talking about deal with their mandate that these are bottles that you should not be done they did their best to protract the work to recover and now with our un colleagues we are already coming this obstacle
7:15 am
political progress on the road of progress by the western countries i sincerely hope that we will succeeded that an article i believe that the senate forward and our contacts with the u.s. leadership will help us to do that with an issue. be nice. we are not going to continue to tensions will do nothing to increase the tension in the region and. persian gulf last time i checked. i think you made a mustang mistake calling it a mexican gulf while the american presence in syria is illegitimate that's what i can say and our presence there. are always triggered. this is this creates tension.
7:16 am
due to the policy are separate is really the united states is promoting. and we're talking about trying to relocate nations. within the syrian republic they are trying to really keep some nations were on the areas where they used to live. by tensions between different nations. the president. during his election campaign russia and iran are fighting isis he acknowledged the doubt and isis was created by the united states. we are the states that are fighting isis. and the president acknowledged they are responsible the united states is responsible for the problem in fact. this fact seems to be ignored
7:17 am
disregarded by many. we believe that it is the united states presence in the region that is destructive and contributing to tension and. it creates the taliban. all happened because of the united states. presence and i will reject it all happened because of the united states policy and they supported israel's occupation as they call us heights. and suppressing the rights of the palestinian people all of this. people actually hate us for the united states you don't. have us you are some extent in there at about that. but this has nothing to do with iran but this has to do with the policy of the united states the united states. believe the president of the united states looking to create some tension in the region to show to cad but i also believe there is
7:18 am
a group of. sort of those who refer to. making very radical statements. you want to make to create tensions in the region that this is not to iran. we do not want any tensions here and we have our own action and it has. been that we are on the track and of course it's possible to achieve success through. this we have been how. little we have been contributing to the peace process who will be asked and. will be talking with mr barroso and mr shargel because we urge procreating and i can see. so it's all go down to the united states creating obstacles to this process because we believe that the united
7:19 am
states know how to. take a step back from this destructive policy. for raaz we have always committed. political and diplomatic dialogue. the diplomatic approach jag always civilizational. tens of thousands of years. of being religious people we have not been looking for a conflict or a war we've been trying to solve issues through dialogue as well as the united states or a much smaller timeframe has existed it created more wars that we have been participating in history that spans over towns of us i was in this years. we've just been listening there to
7:20 am
a joint media conference between sergei lavrov fund zarif the foreign ministers respectively of russia and ran a lot spoken about over the last thirty minutes there but as you could hear the big topic being to ron's announcement earlier of a gradual scale don of the country's nuclear commitments in essence the twenty eight fifteen nuclear deal the joint comprehensive plan of action is a refund indeed surrogate lavrov saying that signatories to the deal. fall failed they're all believe. pinpointing european nations well point let's cross live to peter all over in berlin for the reaction from europe to iran's. partial suspension of the nuclear deal which the two men were just discussing yet peter not holding back in their in their condemnation tell us the other side of the fence
7:21 am
heart of european signatories reacted. well i think a lot of eyes are on the e.u. and european signatories to the deal right now to see what they going to do next they. they coincide with their nato ally the united states or are they going to stick with iran who they've been very vocal in support of since in particularly since the u.s. pulled out of this deal but also in the lead up to getting the deal done there was an awful lot of work put in by the e.u. side federica mockery any of the high representative for foreign affairs saw this project as a particular personal achievement and she was quite visibly upset when the united states pulled out will be looking to see what comment she gives a or if any later on. what we have seen though is a comment on wednesday from the french defense ministry they said that should iran do essentially what they said they're going to do and pull out of the deal that was
7:22 am
the worst case scenario for all involved. and today nothing could be worse than iran leave in the agreement there are new sanctions today from europe because iran has so far always respected the commitments it has undertaken is this commitments and not respected the question of do you consider it. well there has been a lot of the warm words i mentioned from the e.u. side to iran saying don't worry we've got you despite the u.s. pulling out but a lot of the problems come not from the political side the diplomatic side comes down to the well the brass tacks of cash in business because when the u.s. pulled out of the deal they said any business is doing trade with iran well you could be eligible for sanctions and we would put those sanctions on you so that saw an exodus really of e.u. business that it got involved with iran we've seen the likes of tal the french. oil
7:23 am
giant saying that they were going to pull out of the w daimler car manufacturers saying that as well as well as airbus the aerospace giant in response to that trying to get these businesses to stay at the beginning of this year we heard from the european union that france germany and the united kingdom had said that they were going to set up a payment system to get around the u.s. dollar and shield companies essentially from u.s. sanctions now this system called instead the instill the instrument for support of trade exchanges if you want to know what it stands for since it's been settled hasn't really done anything and the u.s. side of said one of the reasons it really hasn't done anything is it doesn't have the correct international standards in place to protect against money laundering or financing for terrorism and what the u.s. is saying is it particularly doesn't help protect against money going to the iranian revolutionary guard corps or the i r g c and they said that wasn't
7:24 am
acceptable for the united states. i question how that even remotely possible with a country like iran went to revolutionary guard corps to sell endemic within the economy but also hidden in many different respects. so the ball very much in the european union's court the choices they have do they walk away from the iran nuclear deal or put so much effort into get put in place back in two thousand and fifteen or do they will do more is what's being asked from them from both the rainy and foreign minister just then on the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov they try and put kate the united states more as they've tried in the past that's the big question for the e.u. right now what do they do next because all eyes are focused on them yet summing up the state of play that european nations find themselves in as regards not dealer europe correspondent peter all over. well not joined in this you tube.
7:25 am
who was listening in the. conference between a story again lower. sure there's more than just the two of us listening as well. what were your main takes from well first of all it seems that we have been we will continue to hear somewhat of a joint voice from russia and iran on this what they have continued to do is to blame the u.s. for ruining everything something that was in the making for so long something that was worked hard on for so long the. of course the something that's known as the iran nuclear deal they believe that. step by step donald trump and ministration were ruining this and what we're seeing right now is basically the result of that you've heard peter talk and. somehow moving sideways when it comes to this.
7:26 am
what we heard from the foreign ministers of russia and iran was that they're happy with all the support and the positive statements that came out of europe when it comes to the agreement itself the way they are saying that it needs to remain alive however according to surrogate. he believes there are some ideas that are being expressed by the major powers that are even driving the attention away from how the government is not the government at the end is being ruined they believe that the only practical steps that can be made right now is to try and are jeffrey one else to stick to the greenman although we understand that iran. is now going to stay away from complying when it comes to certain elements of that agreement. adding to the foreign minister jawad zarif they say they have no other
7:27 am
choice other than to somehow turn this around and perhaps force the european union countries to convince the americans they need to reverse this and they need to save the agreement this is what we heard from him just before that meeting with sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister began. a year our friends in russia in china have maintain good relations with us during that russia has supported us a lot but the other members of the agreements haven't and the of the commitments they've made positive statements but in practice nothing has changed. one of the issues here of course we should point out is that the u.s. pulled out of the d. last year in fact it was a year to the day that iran said they were going to partially. scale the nuclear commitments just just kind of give us a sense why tiran decided to do this today well because the status quo cannot
7:28 am
last forever as i'm saying it seems that the special payment mechanism that peter brought up isn't working and iran is cornered so now they have to do something to turn this around but the serious steps have not been made for now they could be made and two months time what ron is doing starting this wednesday is that they're going to start building up their stockpiles of low enriched uranium and also heavy water these are essential for nuclear reactors so they are gradually relaunching their nuclear program in that in that sense sorry for now they have not resumed the construction of the iraq nuclear reactor that was very important to the construction of that was scrapped under the nuclear deal and its key elements were dismantled it is of course clear that for and it will take years
7:29 am
and years to possibly create a nuclear weapon even though they're saying they weren't looking to do that but the most important thing when we're talking about the steps that are being made right now it's just the reverse soul of this whole process which is important and which it seems nobody around this world once and russia and iran keep saying that we don't want this to happen in the first place they again keep blaming the americans for this and just lately we've heard a number of new threats being put forward by the donald trump administration and i just want to ask you to listen to something that came out from the u.s. state department this is what there's a group state might compare it. we have continued to see every that leads us to believe that there's escalation that may be taking place so we're taking all the appropriate actions both from a security perspective and well as. our ability to make sure that the president has
7:30 am
a wide range of options of the move the something should actually take place what we've been trying to do is to get iran to be him like a normal nation. now this isn't just about threats because there are concrete action being taken by washington there is an naval strike force being deployed in the seas just south of the middle east and by the way the foreign ministers of iran and russia touched upon that itself. as well they believe that this is unacceptable but washington is doing this then there was also the surprise visit of secretary of state mike compared to iraq where he talked about countering iranian influence in the region so again no wonder that the iranian administration and their president is blaming the west for this and he's saying that again they have no other choice but to respond to.
