through your southern neighbor the government the government of syria in the context of monday's talks or one of the major results of the trilateral summit. was. probably the agreement on the formation of the constitutional committee and now all the 3 sides have agreed that the names are more or less creator and there is no dispute about the lists which shows that now we can proceed with the geneva process and this is an encouraging sign because the constitutional committees formation is a major step towards the continuation of the peace talks now once the considered community committee is formed and once the geneva talks start i think it is quite obvious that we are accepting that this transition is going to take place during the assad regime is still in power so. when we go back to
2:31 pm
7 or 8 years earlier all the international community was against conducting all these developments as such but now it's obvious that has proved his strong presence and control over the syrian territory you see these talks and i know we're going to get further details in the next 48 hours 24 hours the taking place well in the past few weeks israel has bombed damascus israel has bombed lebanon israel has bombed iraq do you think the 3 leaders rouhani and the one are aware of this context i think this was asked during the press conference that all the 3 leaders and since in the communicate has mentioned that they have also discussed a couple of other regional developments and international developments whether israeli issue or other topics have been disk. asked but the answer was no.
2:32 pm
probably think that the israeli situation is very much related to the elections and since the israeli elections was approaching probably israel was showing some kind of strength and assertiveness in the region so that the this attitude could perhaps have an impact on the elections on the other side i think russia is also very careful in its relations with israel in iran is also. quite aware that has certain ambitions against iran and simply wants to be prudent and doing that does not want to escalate things so israeli issue has not been on the agenda between the 2 between the treaty this i presume who do you think the president is going to think of the fact that the 3 leaders didn't really even talk about united states recognition of israeli occupation illegal occupation of the
2:33 pm
golan i syrian property let alone of course the state of east jerusalem is i don't think that he's extremely happy about that he was probably. but the 3 leaders did not mention anything about all these issues the israeli developments and they probably agree not to mention even if they had discussed these issues behind closed doors do you think it sensible of the 3 leaders to trust the 2 nations of the well britain has been selling record amounts of weapons to israel and israeli weapons have indeed been found in syria amidst the conflict i don't think that this has been discussed either because you know that this is a continuation of the us tunnel process and the source the process so that's really there's probably prefer to focus mainly on the continuation of the stand and the sorts of processes and to focus on the. situation on the theatres
2:34 pm
concerning issues in live on zoning issues in the east of euphrates and also perhaps the preparation between turkey and the united states for the establishment of a safe zone in the north east of syria because here in britain we've had the memoirs of former prime minister david cameron who you met when you were. here in london he's been blaming boris johnson for lies about what he alleges a lies about turkey in the brics that referendum why do you think we don't hear more about the numbers of refugees taken by turkey let alone what agreement about review jesus made it my design career summit in just tell us a little about it 3600000 refugees from syria. point 6000000 which are the official figures that have been announced so far but i believe the number is quite high it is probably a little bit over 4000000. and this is certainly becoming
2:35 pm
a major burden for the turkish economy because the government has already declared that turkey has spent more than $35000000000.00 us dollars for all the syrian. refugees currently in turkey. i think did numbers quite low when i was ambassador there and when david cameron was prime minister the syrian problem was in its initial phase and probably that was not a big issue and nobody expected that it would continue and the result with that kind of huge flow of people into turkey the deal between turkey and the rippin union came on the in 2015 and recently in it has been declared by the european union i think. mrs morgan who mentioned that european union has already given 5.6. 1000000000 euros to turkey to cope with the problems
2:36 pm
created by the syrian refugees in turkey you said that some people didn't expect the refugee crisis i'd suggest that many people did you presumably talk with boris johnson then when he was foreign secretary before you became prime minister obviously as he is today you really didn't see any understanding in britain that support factor support for islam is in syria to overthrow the government of us would lead to a refugee crisis on the scale as i told i mean the refugee crisis what that that that scale in those years. i think when the breaks it talks and a referendum was being prepared one of the issues that boris johnson particularly emphasized was the possible increase of flow into the united kingdom through turkey but of course that was not a very prudent policy and i wouldn't say that it was. helping it to the
2:37 pm
cause or breaks it by simply exaggerating a situation and simply trying to convince the people that they should vote for to leave i think he now everybody agrees that johnson. did not play the turkey card very cleverly at that time. david cameron so i do that debate ambassador thank you thank you very much after the break of the u.k. prime minister boris johnson flood a press conference in luxembourg only to face a supreme court in london deliberating on his own village lying we are because boris johnson run out of places to hide and 5 years to the day scotland voted to remain in the u.k. we are scared to death will trade committee chair and us with new york with resists and b. will no ally with germany corben to annihilate boris johnson story is also more going up about to is going underground. survival guide states in your. the storage.
2:38 pm
space missions. to 70. 4. what hopes and. i put them so. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be close as it was before 3 of them or you could get. interested in the waters and that. there should be. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to
2:39 pm
a complete. the day that i was raped and. you know told to shut up what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation 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 thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose 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 hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. but
2:40 pm
2:41 pm
welcome back joining me now to go through some of the week's top stories when the day after the end of the liberal democrat conference is one of the party's former coalition ministers norman baker moment thanks for coming on where you were not at the conference you didn't even i don't know whether you were there i wasn't because i think a lot's going to conferences then. i really felt to have to go let's go straight to this story from from the mirror this is our aisle from next story about who taught . them bill called america and who defects to the new call the party com raid. what do you think about al insuring do you think should never be important. in your party what sort of poetry is the liberal democrats if it allows me in charge. of his war garrulous to promote general stare at us with to talk about funny tinge journalists of people of color who jenna bush different of the
2:42 pm
say it's a pause he looks. good. in the box goes with the boss but without a list of irrelevant comments look him in the sky those who defected to the lib dems from labor and conservative put their careers in a lot of the many cases they've recognized as. in their careers away they've done so at the principles of the people of principle of the ones who are defecting isn't the difficult thing to do to defect to any party the ones who should be criticizing other people and tory party and labor party for that matter who mumble under their breath this is terrible i don't like the way my party is going it's all wrong i do nothing keep their mouths shut these guys are stood up being counted he explicitly spoke out against the pardoning of people who are l.g.b. t. who had been convicted prior to equality legislature understand that he was doing so as a minister not was just following orders is no yes no but that's what ministers do when you don't follow orders you resign from the government as i resigned eventually from the coalition government having had enough of the reason may how
2:43 pm
far does this go then so will the liberal democrats allow people that you fundamentally disagree with the party is a broad church like any political party is i mean people who disagree with individual policies you know chin found for example who would leave the party a different view on gay rights from for most of the people in the party and i want to go to due to this one and david cameron's memoirs yes your take on david cameron book to do nothing in libya was to facilitate murder well it's always difficult isn't it as a british prime minister to try to involve the country in which he's expedition of being so because we've all heard of the destruction of africa's i know it just because i know absolutely and i think david had a point on a particular issue but the the trouble was after iraq and the lies appalling was told by tony blair and i was accountable to sign paul and it was naturally skeptical about taking it was he's action i think that's only right you know where i disagree with david cameron this issue was not the the right to get involved and
2:44 pm
prevent a whole of cost if you like a terrible example of what might have happened to him how did happen he says he says he saved libya well i think because gadhafi had said libya will be well gadhafi was a terrible terrible man but where i disagree with david cameron is this these matter should be wonderfully. nations you know we are not the world's policeman no no there's america no this russia not any other country but why do you think cameron hasn't realized what you've just said that we know in the luxury of his. retirement well i think this to live residual feeling that britain has got some sort of responsibility to the world we've not lost the mindset that we're one of the great powers we ought one of the great powers international law is something we must hold on to something to trumpet but you destroy of course the united states but we in europe hold on to it because trump trumps people didn't deny that here at the embassy but how could you deny it well i mean the bedrock of our people out of the debris ripping everything in sight they're destroying everything
2:45 pm
internationally and the camera apologize over the bricks that referendum and so on here didn't apologize for libya in these moments you know what i think he's probably believing he probably saying what he believed to be right ok let's go to the china daily about arguably the most famous pull it out is this is the daily mirror in the china daily astonished to remain in person after sentence expires well to be honest with you i don't take any lessons from china daily on people being in prison on duty because they've locked up 1000000 week goes to any trial whatsoever such as the children denies that they have is that this film is not for a nation is actually coming out of this this film of it we've seen it there's google there's numerous witnesses spoken to them i've been to where you come from just lose you oppose the iraq war claim many activists claim lots of this is being used against the chinese but let's get on there well i'm just making the point that this is this is the attempt by the chinese to go for lowest common denominator they
2:46 pm
have got a big state on their conscience in the way they deal with people not come to the don't like but in a case in which on the issue here i mean this is difficult because people are held in the mountains if they are expected or thought you might discover and that's a normal process in the courts of law people all the time are held there needn't be political prisoners or people who go he has not. g.'s in this country no we've got an extradition warrant applied for by the us and signed by the home secretary and that carries some weight and i understand that the 1st 2 are going to court in about less than a month's time so the time he says no is still at the home of as you'd be fine with someone who internationally is seen as the award winning journalist and publisher jailed on their mind without any conviction whatsoever he's been in for years and he's been overwhelmed political refugee granted as he's been for years no zone pollution or do we now know that no he was granted asylum in the united nations repertoire on torture says that he was tortured by the u.k.
2:47 pm
government well i don't believe he was talked about the u.k. government but this is a matter for the courts not so much of for government ministers who don't have governments running the courts force in this country as indeed we've seen with the whole process that negotiations look i mean i'm in i'm in i'm privileged about mr asante undoubtedly some of the material he brought forward was in the public interest for us to do about all the other hand war crimes yeah i'd absolutely but on the other hand he also released a whole lot of information about individuals that was quite irresponsible so he didn't really handle what he did say denies that well i mean i think the guardian in the new york times that revealed the unredacted information well they got it from him and therefore i think he's responsible for the. thank you well as this supreme court in london rules or whether scotland highest court was right to judge that boris johnson unlawfully shut down parliament i'm joined now by skype from the western isles whether chair of britain's international trade committee yes m.p.'s angus macneil thank thank you for coming on so presumably already quite frightened
2:48 pm
by just when sort of the liberal democrat that just went and gave a speech in about 24 hours at that have a liberal democrat conference without blairite labor and austerity tories on board she was claiming credit for knife crime reductions in glasgow what's the s.n.p. going to do against the lib dems i apologise for how did it joyously. nothing at all to do nice to have a class that is utterly laughable abuse and some of the get on with this going to go on in the scottish parliament for the last 10 years nothing at all to do that myself as the west has that m.p.'s set nothing to do with jocelyn's as a living dead and the west as a m.p. at him just. the the evidence claims that just winds made it kind of laughable and the more which is out of their suspects are supposed to stop but accept party but some of you who will be aware that if they go loot back of this account of the record of that 25th of february 2008 jocelyn's it was a start but accident be the start but until she was the one who was calling for but
2:49 pm
accidentally ended and it went it to backwoodsmen it feel like we're only looking for a president of the lisbon treaty joyously instead of the liberals were the ones who can get all this off who may be ready yet the guys and the backwards men as i call them of the tory party test of just listens please i mean and by december should decide to close and buy new year who of course should be. heavily yes but of course the name of the mcgrath one thing last time around that we may be facing in a general election in the united kingdom the tories of all parties did well in scotland how are you going to stop them doing as well the game boys joins the desist the early christmas present if you like for all of them and certainly for the s.n.p. he's going to ensure that any 2 or 3 microsoft will not going to be very much in the weight of single digits perhaps alone perhaps 2 but mostly these 0 the 2 beast
2:50 pm
is gone and i think when people see the 2 least most of the problems of the 2 of them made especially in the fishing communities never the big concern is that fish markets i know the jury your sick norms as the dogs were talking. a few months ago phylis a few years ago chickens are going to roost right by before the to do some of the. leagues and homeworks they began it bought us. 13 seats in scotland but said it 10 was lend-lease their team their joys are not concerned so any more the way the polls are good people can see there are people being responsible and given scotland's future bindiya said b. but as for fishing i want to get on to the revelations forced out of the government about medicine shortages and food shortages but will you be using any supremes court verdict in favor of boris johnson and any possible scottish referendum by the johnson had not given the side up that it was just a not accounted for jones and how getting them all the evidence they wanted. could
2:51 pm
conclude it doesn't connect to the next conclusion all of us know about this conclusion that ben wallace. one of the one of the voters johnson's ministers leave the cut out but those were caused job because of their political considerations to . say he used the material things of the court all the subregion quarterly deliberating on the eve it says no the scottish court court is was wrong will you be using that verdict to the any possible future referendum well i think we will certainly be be thought it was a vote of sorts and when independents in defense counsel for the next 12 months we can certainly see that scotland's highest court a serious player bozo's and a lot of pain is not favorable now i don't know what you mean or the scottish people indeed made of these revelations they were forced out of the government about bracks and planning what do you make of the redactions because some of the u.k. nuclear weapons it was a base in scotland any possible redactions could be about they could be about
2:52 pm
defense well the actions to be but anything but i think they were right people should understand about the yard these documents are not scared because there's a number of companies as international it's come to me over the last 12 to 18 months with all sorts of orders and all sorts of concerns i said get the public see it. we don't want to get involved in politics we don't want to take the heat it's going to come with our so we've got to in this situation a but accident number of companies actually afraid to tell the truth of their fears because they feel a political head will come to the supermarket chains to me here yet now to go where we could see it in and interference that the other basket will go a bit 7 percent there will be problems getting stuff on the shelf quickly there are big problems getting the range of the shelf as well so don't be surprised that these things and they're becoming more and more open they're certainly being well documented medical fears my colleagues the surface of it for us and pete. i think
2:53 pm
certainly going on by the medical isotopes the flow of cattle monahan and lastly so number of these things are ruled on a number of these things are not perfect fear this is what's come of the way the heart attacks and this is a stent it why boris johnson was his general election before halloween because from it depended on worse empty shelves and lack of medicines do not make winning election campaigns well over to the prime minister denies that does positivity is what's required but as you said you are the chair of the international trade committee and i understand you had a reply from the international trade secretary lives trust about questions that you've asked of her. yeah you know like with us expected to come to the committee she didn't come to committee we pressure you know i did i think less the president the message great clearly that you do come to parliamentary committees perhaps less sizes deal and experience who knows but i think she's got the message no isolated
2:54 pm
but some hotter water with very selling out of the soviet union of all places of could involve you know in a genocide in the yemen at the moment the behavior in the congo a city in india and the courts ruling against them loose. less the person a more precarious position with bigger and more important questions to answer the class i was intended to ask a and to get it because we invite the saudi arabian ambassador to london to answer some of those questions i understand actually trusses in australia of all places just finally there's a climate global climate strike on friday i know joe swinton obviously she did take pro fracking donation money but she did raise the idea of environmental climate collapse would you be urging people to take part in the global climate strike on friday well where we're going to be is a take this very seriously and in that north of the plains and that's out of your doors they are certainly concerned about what is happening in the others and their
2:55 pm
supplier has significant very serious that the state itself is one of those things that makes people think it might be good we have it over everything there is and i also fear we may be reason that the fear of these ideas that some psychologist one of us. i'm going to tell people i that we what we should or shouldn't do but i think the one thing we should be agreeing on it is that something needs to start howling to ensure that that cow number stuccoed there you will number starts going up and we believe it and more sustainable planet are living in a more sustainable planet was the less weather for 2 issues that are happening it more often i guess with me and thank you. thank you that's over the show will be back on saturday 70 years to the day german mao inaugurated a people's republic of china that would lift more than 850000000 people out of extreme poverty until they give it up by social media don't forget to subscribe to our you tube channel.
