on the principles of facilitating the dialogue between the government and the opposition we did our best to encourage both sides to engage in a more closed dialogue we continue to fight al-qaeda isis and related groups that fight should continue until these groups are wiped out in syria and of course we should care about the lives and health of the civilians they should not be put. to any danger we should not lead terrorists to use people as human shields. as most of them. are in the zone today we discuss how to save people of who are now in the hands of terrorism this question is a truly 3rd each year and we are still to find an optimal way to solve. this problem last year our estimate process partners. matt

in sochi and signed the a deliberate dream and and there we supported that agreement hoping that the terrorists would be eventually driven out of the region and the syrian government would be able to store as control over the terrorists held territories one of the key goals for the astronaut process guarantors as signed. in the treaty is to prevent a large scale communitarian crisis in the region. however. this agreement was not implemented as planned and unfortunately it has been a little time since it was signed. and already today we see that the territories controlled by territories have become larger by a huge. and that only goes to show that terrorists should not

be permitted any opportunity to be used the conditions and terms of these agreements we. gathered together for the 5th time to take stock of our previous efforts and adopt necessary measures to the. brain about a brighter future for the syrian people so that they will be able to decide. on their future without any foreign interference or pressure from the outside the general principles which guide us. the principle of continuing the fight against syria them in order to eradicate this evil or to root it out and help the sides to come to come on the ground to restore the constitution to lead the people come back to allow for these swaps

of the prison so that the syria will be restored and independent and free syria without. any danger to it. from any other country as syria which would be free of any furtive occupation or any threat of terrorism we want to see syria united we want to see syria total integrity and national sovereignty respected by every and all so that the people would enjoy their civic rights in the full. and only the syrians themselves should decide what kind of future they want to welcome no one should interfere in the domestic affairs of syria. you know mr putin mr. i would like to underscore several porter and a shoes here as we. expand the copper ration we see

more and more opportunities to finally settle the crisis in syria and other crises in the region or. others will leave this region but we are here we were here and we will be here as we are neighbors. and treaty signed in 1988 has been. another opportunity for the countries of syria and ticket to. livy the concerns and put an end to that. period of bad relations to yes on the procedures unlike other initiatives does not seek to separate the. syrian posses our principled approach to helping to facilitate the contexts and settle concerns by finding a peaceful solution to the crisis in syria. at the same time

guest in the process is not meant to be directed at any other pro system or initiatives. on ladies and gentleman the on lawful presence of the us troops on the syrian soil. and dangerous to the truth or the integrity of the country and its sovereignty as well. because syria is the un member. us president said that. the us would be withdrawing its troops for syria but they speech was just like any other of the us president's speeches. had 0 results. it was not implemented. it has always been like that it will always be like that we underscore the necessity and the need for the u.s. troops to leave that region at the earliest opportunity so that the sovereignty of

syria would be restored and so that the authority of this region government would. be again. in force over the e.c. afraid to steer it aries the internally displaced persons and if you g.'s from the neighboring countries should be allowed to come back to their homes so that would be a huge contributing factor for both syria and the countries which harbor them. or on the political pros the should be started because throughout the war it was a rare case when solutions were actually implemented if that is not a cheve great harm is going to be be done to the people of syria so we need to facilitate the year old least return of all refugees to their homes as well as we need to help the syrian people and the government of syria to stall the

country to rebuild it and this way pave the way to solve the longstanding rivalries and differences of opinion between the peoples inside syria. the current constitution should be formed but only on the basis of the will of the syrian people and that is another opportunity to overcome the crises in syria the efforts of the 3 guarantor country said the u.n. secretary general have allowed to made. huge progress on the way to form a constitutional committee today i think we need to thank the syrian government for their cooperation on for a very constructive. wark the syrian regime has. held a lot on that we've seen. more. on the syrian soil and the.

militants have taken the responsibility of these attacks and this aggression has spilled over to iraq and lebanon these attacks are in another sign of this provoke or to have any hostile actions which. may cause more attentions in the region it is evident that the government. of syria and other countries of the region have the right to defend themselves according to the un charter. unfortunately the internationalization did not respond to these. hostilities as they should and in conclusion i would like to. thank. the hostin country for a very warm welcome for organizing this very important summit i'd like to thank mr dollar for that. all the government and the people of

turkey for making this happen thank you very much. being with the book. thank you very much mystery high euphoria speech and i would like to give the floor to my dear friend the president told the russian federation to mr blair putin please mr putin. mr do on mr rouhani. colleagues. of the i'm very pleased to be gathered together. as he asked in the process guarantors i believe that this process with russia turkey and iran has its guarantors is a very efficient and effective way to facilitate the settlement of the syrian crisis we have discussed a number were discussed the details of the crisis will discuss the start of the

political process will discuss delivering help to syria so that the country could rebuild its infrastructure the economy our joint efforts were allowed to stabilize the situation on the ground and to you crease the level of violence we have succeeded. in this stablish in the foundation for a diplomatic and political settlement based on the 2254 resolution of the security council. we have had regular meetings but also our delegations meet very often in the resort town and in sochi already 13 sessions of the delegations have taken place featuring the representatives of russia turkey. iran and syria as well as u.n. observers so there was from other countries actually should be noted that iraq and

lebanon joined the pool of observers. in 2018 a so she took place in. you socially that was a national reconciliation dialogue congress which resulted in an agreement to create a constitutional committee which should establish the modalities for the future governmental architecture of syria now we should start the work of this process in geneva. because the list of the people to the man this committee has been completed we continue our uncompromising fight against terrorism in syria the most alarming is the situation in the only discolorations. the lives own where we've recently seen a spike in terrorist activities these days collations own should not be

a harbor for extremists of all kinds and it should not be a foothold for them to carry out provocations. together we should apply more afeard to. root out the threat coming from the liberties collations. and of course we are very much alarmed to see what is happening in the northern territories of syria. these issues should be settled based on the respect for the syrian the sovereignty and territorial integrity it is inadmissible to separate syria in any kinds of zones of influence is also important that russia turkey and iran to help syrians impasse claflin management of the country or we help syria to rebuild this economy and its social infrastructure to create an atmosphere which would see more authoritarian help and aid delivered to

the people in need thanks to their joint efforts we have achieved a lot starting from july 2018. 3. i'm with the 90000 people have returned to syria and over 1000000 internally displaced persons have come home and we do hope that the international community. the un especially together with it this ignited by this will join their efforts to help syria. and will help more or to restore the 1st structure to is sure water in their city supply to rebuild schools and hospitals that kind of support should be given to every syrian without any discrimination without any politicizing this problem and without any preconditions colics i would live to say that we are sure that the storks are productive and the arrangements we reached today will help to finally put an end to the crisis in syria will allow us to

restore peace and security in the country reinforce its sovereignty unity and to toil integrity when other things i believe that we will succeed in contributing to the situation in the middle east as a whole thank you for your attention. you know who my dear friend i think you for your a speech mr putin you do. you hope that our meeting will be really for the good or proper ones so we would like to invite their present at the solve the media. so let's allow the representatives of the media vokey the whole. ok you have just been looking i mean

between the presidents of iran russia and turkey the host nation there in the turkish capital they have been meeting for the last number of hours bilateral and trilateral meetings between the 3 leaders syria as you were hearing there very much to the fore some differing views there from prisoner to one to perhaps the 2 other men but very clearly it lived province the north western region very much the focus on the refugee situation in turkey. earlier i was speaking to our correspondent maria fanaa who is in the turkish capital she broke down put a little bit more meat really on what do the scotians would in evolve let's take a listen to what maria had to tell me earlier. the leaders of turkey iran and russia have gathered here again and for a fee the trilateral summit on syria at the ground at ohana and putin are to

discuss ways to bring long awaited peace and stability to war torn country and i have to tell you that these point almost everybody agrees that this forum on this platform is the most effective in terms of and in the syrian crisis not only those involved in this process believe that but also the outside players this time the talks will mainly focus on 3 things 1st the situation in syria's northern province of idlib it's a huge area home to up to 3000000 people it is believed to be the last remaining stronghold of all kind of anti government forces including those backed by turkey and this is why turkey apart from having a common goal with syria or russia and iran has its own interest in that region there are also a large number of al qaeda like terrorists very dangerous islam is very hard to deal with and of course the biggest challenge the countries right now face

russia turkey and iran and of course iran the whole region is how to get treat of terrorism this is something that everybody agrees a poll and without harming people and how to make sure that this will definitely be the end earlier we heard from putin that he believes we are right now weakness in the final stage the final phase of the syrian crisis but still you have to be 100 percent sure that this will be the end and the terisa done so that we do not see the ripper tissue know what happened in syria in another part of that region and secondly of course their leader as will focus on political pros says in particular is troubling serious constitutional committee and 3rd and very important of course humanitarian aspects will also be discussed with all the 3 leaders. had ted ted ted meetings and we are now in a huge delay because the meeting between vladimir putin and of egypt the gun lasted

more than 2 hours and it was followed by an unexpected meeting between. big delegations of the 2 countries including foreign and defense ministers and other specialists it was all behind closed doors journalists were not allowed to field want to be there so we're looking forward to hear from both leaders at the press conference that we expect at the end of this summit speaking about iran her son has come here too and peres a time when things are heating up in the gulf just on sunday america accused to her run of carrying out drone attacks devastating drone attacks on the world's biggest all producing facilities in saudi arabia and after that we heard america's president saying that their military is quotation logged and loaded to take action tehran is deny annoy you say she's saying it is just a pretext for america to just a fight actions against iran in that region we also heard just earlier today on monday from iran's elite revolutionary guard that they are preparing for

a full scale war so we may expect that these so will be brought out during talks between iran and russian leader but again we are waiting for the final press conference to ask questions and to get answers. for just how to bring you all of the other big stories of the day the biggest one day jump in oil prices in almost 30 years is playing out on the markets currently the jump follows the assaults on saudi arabia's oil infrastructure over the weekend the united states claims are real and is directly responsible for the attacks on the state run refineries donald trump says the u.s. is locked and loaded and ready to respond to the incidents very fiery language indeed well denies the allegations. rudolf the possibilities of talks between mr trump on president rouhani which were once on the table. tells us more. it's

not even been a week since the famous most stosh was shaved off the face of america's foreign policy if you know what i mean but even without mr bolton someone else who is actually in charge of diplomacy has tweeted the u.s. will join efforts with allies to ensure iran is held accountable for its aggression and there's plenty of other hawgs to explain how not supposed to be done it is now time for the united states to put on the table an attack on iranian oil refineries if they continue their provocations were increased nuclear enrichment so this sound of the drums of war is back because oil refineries in saudi arabia went up in flames now after a hit see this island right here that is the kingdom of bahrain as seen from space the fire was so huge that the black of the smoke was almost just as big as you can see right there but who said it was to iran the u.s.

state department even though boss might compare didn't explain how they knew the rain ians did it i'll tell you what the who the rebels who are fighting a civil war in yemen even said it was us but for washington that's just a smokescreen. amid all the cools for deescalation iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply the damage is indeed a men's if you look at it from one side the world's biggest black gold producer says the strike cut its crude old supply by around a half donald trump quickly called the saudi crown prince to offer him full support but we know just how much oil and how much cash saudi arabia has riyadh has already called its buyers telling them the disaster is still not enough to disturb its black gold exports plus they've been known as a western darling in the middle east for years and the saudis have been bombing the who theory rebels in yemen with the solid approval of the us and allies.

but back to iran the number one troublemaker in the area through washington's lenses i mean lately even donald trump has hinted he's ready to engage in diplomacy with their leadership could happen it could have. no problem with the black plumes of smoke from the burning saudi oil have probably clouded those intentions with or without john bolton what to do with iran remains the u.s. administration's toughest puzzle. if the u.s. is able to convince its allies like the europeans that. iran was indeed. the country that carried out these attacks

then. that could be quite serious but there's no evidence so far that that is the case we're only hearing from the u.s. . that iran was responsible obviously the u.s. is is trying to put maximum pressure on iran. but it remains to be seen whether that will be effective this is the 1st major incident the u.s. has faced since bolton either resigned or was fired and so we will have to watch closely and see who is driving this this this very isolated but aggressive response to these attacks in saudi arabia

is are stories for know you can join the euro at the top we hope you do for more of the stories making headlines this monday good bye for another season. please follow that. model. climax keyser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun it's

a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right this has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to that. totally destabilize a global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed because we. chose seemed wrong when old clothes just don't hold. any new gold yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in danger of it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision lotos sheltered lives every song came to

a complete. the day that i was right. here you know hold a shot of what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me. if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and the offender i had an almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. alone

in welcoming across not where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle 80 years ago this month the 2nd world war in europe began 60 years later the scourge of german fascism was defeated however the meaning of the start of the war remains hotly contested this history is intensely political. cross talking revisionism i'm joined by my guest geoffrey roberts he is america's

professor of history at university college cork as well as member of the royal irish academy and his latest book is churchill and stalin we also have dimitri bobbitt she's a political analyst and editor interest me internet media project and in london we cross our going to be curious he is a writer on legal affairs as well as editor in chief of the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate jeffrey let me go to you 1st your center of visiting moscow and you are in the steamed historian of the 2nd world war and of the soviet union why is it contested the beginnings of the 2nd world war because all the most the time it's about the outcome of the 2nd world war but we had this. debate is in warsaw the russians were not invited the germans were why is that still controversial. the idea front of us for the. boys of course a massive amount of us right you know 2nd world war 5060000000 people died.

reshaped completely the 20th century well we're still living with the consequences of shadow so it is one of the most important of all historical it's political still it's always been it's always be political it's always been a matter of just historical contestation about watch you happened who was responsible political blind been light now is particularly controversial at the present moment the actually front of us of course because what's going on in in relations between the russian federation and the west because of the unique ukrainian crisis because the propaganda war that's going on between the russian federation west and the anniversary of the war particular events associate to it have become part of that political struggle ok let me go to you in london and say you know we have as i pointed out a few seconds ago. russia wasn't invited to these the festivities in poland certainly a snub to the russians but the germans were invited it reminds me of the you know

the the soviet nazi non-aggression pact ok i mean if one can draw conclusions about the morality of that but the cold political calculation you can't deny but the poles want to seem to have it just one way go ahead alex well the poles have their own interpretation of the of the model of soft control the russians there's there's also what people like jeffrey roberts which is that you go through history and you decide what you you have i'm not saying polls are not entitled to their own interpretation of the modern talk ribbentrop that my own personal view is that given the situation which existed in august 19th 39 a pact between the so and germany was probably something that many people in moscow were going to sign it.
