u.k. police for years knew but ignored the most profound sexual abuse by pedophiles in care homes according to an independent new report we talked to a former detective who took part in the initial investigation. from motor vehicle roper is it somebody reported that kind of a crime to the police you would get a 1st class response if you were a child being raped it wasn't being reflected. also this hour friday marks the 75th anniversary of the soviet union's liberation of warsaw from nazi germany thousands were sent to death camps or lost their lives in the city that suffered years of occupation during the war. and c.n.n. promised as an eye opening documentary on fake news and its impact on citizens

despite the channel itself facing multiple accusations of airing unverified stories . a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher q. and moscow thanks for joining us this hour. u.k. police knew children were suffering the most profound sexual abuse in the northern city of manchester but did not protect them that's according to a new independent report officers in 2004 launched operation augusta to investigate the issue but the report requested by the crime commissioner and the probe was prematurely closed down before it could complete its work.

officially the investigation was closed due to lack of resources but whistleblower maggie all over a former manchester police detective who worked on operation augusta says there were other reasons. the decision to close down operational krista was driven by the decision of senior officers to remove the resources from the investigation this was because it was a very complex investigation but there were other factors involved in the decision

to close it down there was definitely an element of concern about the ethnicity of the offenders being pakistani men and the children being very vulnerable white children there was also the resources issue and because it's very labor intensive it takes a lot of time it takes a lot of commitment from an organization to resource a job like this and also and that was a focus on what we call acquisitive crime so burglaries theft from motor vehicle robberies if somebody reported that kind of a crime to the police you would get a 1st class response if you were a child being raped it wasn't being reflected in performance indicators hence the police did not respond the initial investigation was triggered by the death of victoria she was in the care of manchester city council after her mother's death the girl was subjected to sexual assault and injected with her when by

a 50 year old man the report says that carers knew what was going on but did not act while police failed to bring the perpetrators to justice 15 year old victoria died after being administered a heroin overdose or his grandmother says that since her death she has been battling to find the truth. she was such a lovely girl she didn't deserve to die i've been fighting all my life for this she told herself with these men. the authorities knew that many victims were being subjected to the most profound abuse and exploitation but did not protect him from the perpetrators as a result very few of the relevant perpetrators were brought to justice and neither were their activities disrupted this is a depressingly familiar picture and has been seen in many other towns and cities across the country authorities have now launched a criminal investigation following the report's findings the chief constable of manchester police has offered his condolences to the victims adding that officers will do everything to get justice for the children both of laura maggie all over

again one thing here police and other officials themselves to be investigated. this coverup that's the only word there is for it was absolutely deliberate this report this review it's an independent 3 view makes it crystal clear that this was a deliberate cover up there was a reluctance to acknowledge that it was pakistani men predominantly who were abusing vulnerable young white children and very young children that became a political hot potato it was often said that these kids of 11 and 12 were making a lifestyle choice that they were working as prostitutes that they were kids that is never the case they were vulnerable kids who we have a duty to protect and the all for it is failed time and time again to do

that this is criminal neglect in my opinion it is misconduct in a public office at the highest level and i want to see accountability criminal charges brought against senior police officers senior social workers and potentially going right up to the government if culpability can be shown there for the neglect of people in public office. friday marks 75 years since the liberation of warsaw from nazi germany by soviet and porche forces the capital was brutally occupied for years thousands were deported from the warsaw ghetto to death camps it's estimated that more than 5000000 poles one in every 7 citizens died in the war.

i. the cities today empty and deserted the bodies of poles tortured and executed could often be seen in ditches and sewer pipes there is not a single undamaged building remaining in warsaw objects of historical and cultural heritage been plundered and demolished. i. feel i am. i. feel.

it is with great joy as i'm reporting to you that today on january the 7945 joint forces of the soviet army's 1st coalition front and the polish 1st army have successfully completed an offensive operation for turning movement and have liberated the city of warsaw from that syrian vader's once and for all i am our troops are greeted by local police who politely into the streets just a new tell shoulders nothing says but she is an expression woman great city to liberate the city from nazi occupation. we're now going to cross live to a press conference being held by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov taking stock of the country's diplomacy over the past year let's listen in to what he has to say. as well obviously which reduced is in dire straits

a lot of turbulence we see some western countries are very aggressive these days primarily the united states they are aiming their mind the international law system and substitute with their role in the world order based on some rules. i mean the i.n.f. treaty that washington will do for armor and the prospects for new stars are very dark and the schools and we have a lot of tensions in what are our options in the version gulf region and some try to revise the settlement agreement of. the middle east that we see there some mechanism by being privatized and i mean such as the instruments for the control on the nonproliferation regime should we see unfair competition right now is it because we're is hand protectionism sanctions trade wars that's what is

happening one of the latest examples is the attempts of the united states to our don't mind the nordstrom to project you despite the leading countries of the e.u. or are against but. washington these asserting its rights as a country that hasa the u.n. headquarters up goes the international or provisions are you not giving the eases the delegates to participate in the work of the u.n. headquarters so i believe these are the new rules i think these are the rules that they've been speaking about. president. of russia has laid out the course there's rush hour of course room was to move group. when you put it where we do very diverse independent we want to reinforce the political pillars of our dialect with others and of course we as of course do everything to reinforce global and regional security in all dimensions we have the following for priorities vitae

against terrorism produced in syria among other places we want to achieve a political settlement in order to alleviate disregard for the people of syria we started the solution constitutional committee and thanks to the efforts of the us and the former members now we are screwed up schools closer to finally released during the country of syria and the reintegration the country into the families arab countries of the region we contributed to alleviating other situations in libya yemen important steps forward to revitalize the situation in the region would be the implementation of russia's initiative to ensure collective security in the region of the persian gulf was presented to renewed initiatives in september last year which as part of the scientific research salman workshop that we had experience with the experts and researchers from the region were used to support

and again our priority is to build up cooperation with the interests of the regime sandton in the c.s.t. all of the c.i.s. the great economic union members. which made much headway on the. use of the track of the original if you know we signed a free trade zone agreement with vietnam. and also last see a we signed the agreement where. singapore and serbia last year were all. in agreement with china said to him paul agreement with iran as well we continue negotiations with israel in egypt we've decided to start negotiating the same treaty same agreement with india all these initiatives are in line of ways that. proposal could make it sound eurasian unified space which would bring all of us

together. with our ties with china have been growing we have strategic partnership we had of china being visited russia last year and it was announced that the relations are entering the new era of our foreign policy coordination groups the move has a very good with your positives that realizing. a fact on the situation in the world for the india our ties are becoming stronger as well as with what i see in countries in latin america in the countries to sort through the impetus i was given to work with africa and african countries as you know that october last year we had the 1st ever russia africa summit and it. would have moved allowed us to have a whole new level of dialogue that we have achieved success in alleviating the crisis in ukraine after 3 years with the poor so we had another normandy for a meeting after the government in kiev finally made steps to implement some of the

obligations it had as agreed upon previous meetings so we need to move forward on the way to implement the music accords these decisions these agreements should not stay on paper as it was true during the tenure of poroshenko we are a means to reinforce the ability and. peace we are all against the deployment of weapons in space and cyber space should not be weaponized we are ready to step into the but. the u.s. and russia with the theoretical make union g 20 also the c.e.o. and briggs are very important instruments which is we will continue our work as part of the 5 permanent members of the security council of the key point of the age and they still reinforce their all of us and we will help but to continue implementing its major function of the charter its principles should be beyond

reproach begun and you're questioning i think occlusion this. would be a little. which different to the one we have ahead this year will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the victory in the 2nd world war and the us will be celebrating its anniversary as well so we'll continue our efforts to fight. the efforts to falsify the theory and to revise the outcomes of the 2nd world war when we're together with us we have many countries standing shoulder to shoulder. with our people who leave abroad or come patricide to living abroad also. for huge support and we will be looking forward to seeing our colleagues represented as other countries they parade on the 9th of may 2020. you have. your number in the usual. correspondent told their

informational servers media corporations are china and russia today the question is we know that russia and china views here and jointly the are going to celebrate 70 people in the 1st 3 of the world word to victory countries need a lot to be with opposed to war world order and wired to what are their. today's rose. got to keep being very global stability and how the russian chinese operation going in this direction. i already mentioned that we have very good strategic relations with china we are like minded when it comes to the key issue. you mentioned was little scale our assessments our visions of how the world developing and should develop have been reflected in a number of documents we signed together to themselves and that important. documents refer in their commitment and one of them is the declaration which. put

our relations under whom new digital level it was signed in summer which last year when the xi jinping visit russia we ordered our efforts closely study in the u.s. we always do our best to support each other and champions of the principles decline the foundation of the united nations and i mean the un charter so it is of course the security council when we of course of to liberate. should have to do. with the they need to stand up for these principles this founding principles when the crisis arises as it happened recently probably with a humanitarian problem with the problem of delivery from entering aid to syria. so we see it from the same positions with us and we always you propose to advocate for just a fair solution so that we stand against some of the orbits were initiatives that

our western colleagues try to impose on others most of the pursuing their parochial agenda so we need to find consensus i said the. decision was made taking you rushes in china's positions into account that is to extend the operation of the trans border. whatever in a daily regime i western colleagues they did their best to undermine the efforts you really wanted only one corridor one. remained through iraq to syria and that formerly used checkpoint was called a rubeus so they were crying foul that without. the syrians who live in the northern coast of buttes and east in territories they will have a lot of problems on their hands because of that we can't even stand that that was not true of our western colleagues they wanted to have it in place the cars are

because they wanted to support the illegal groups that still are out there to the east of euphrates where we had stayed still remains if we take a sober look at the situation with the committee or an aide to the northeastern parts of syria the statistics are as follows over the 2 months october november the united nations personnel the support of the syrian government. 420 trucks from 2 cities including damascus where the 162 tons of medical supplies 140 trucks over 2 months pass for the arab ear pass in 20 months there was only around. only what about 100 trucks so as you can see the checkpoint was way behind in terms of the.

number of metairie an aid amount of the could only aid delivered so that's just one example of how we work together with china. to stand up for people's well basic facts so that the security council and its decisions would not be an instrument of unilateral pressure on others. syrian television please. mr lover of the. just enough of it. what can you say about the syrian crisis now and what sentiment in the way of resolving this conflict and we always see in these here or there it's original the relations between the syrian turkey and some other countries from the european union the what's there a bleak school. well we have gone along the way in settling the crisis in

syria have a lot of progress on every track and i mean the military is a political tracks committee chair and track as well. unfortunately the economic crisis to ration our serious trailing someone behind because our western partners the regional powers as well mile and preconditions and these preconditions they change whether it does. so as soon as they become process starts. they would help that's what they say they said that they will be ready to leave for sanctions that would help the refugees to come back people it's well the process started now the say let's wait until it healed some results so they seem to be willing to change their conditions every time the situation changes and that is in no way facilitate the settlement what is keys that we have won in this fight

against terrorism there remaining you will see the. news or a fighter in the discoloration zone and to the east of your freighters are not there around 10000. of your freight is there mostly located at the camps which is controlled by the senior democratic forces the muslim skew but these are mostly kurdish merely share and we. alarming information coming that you know that for some certain amount of money of these democratic forces were due to let those bandits those fighters go and they go to other parts of syria they take root they're very alarming information we've been long warning our u.s. colleagues. who have influence over the syrian democratic forces who would do something so that those militants which are there at their camps as

prisoners would be. would not be allowed to go anywhere because there is there is that they can be released as for the humanitarian aid and i said it already there the syrian government cooperates closely with the united nations and i already provided you with example. so that when we can use that was going to be of the series which schools of books is no reason to continue any practices which does not involve the government of syria when it comes to meet him in a humanitarian work move that helps the refugees to come back to their homes we also do a lot as a country we contribute to un the funds with. our donations we also work for human. way the military of syria our military forces they are in syria in the form of the military police and we help to bring

the life to normal we provide to people was water and energy education will help to restore the health care system of syria and we call upon every country of the world to follow suit on that. they should remain refrain from any politicizing without any preconditions but the sure way that mount on the way to provide humanitarian aid we have very good results the constitutional committees up and running now these. city. has a drafting commission now it has adopted the rules of procedure and we are in for the 3rd meeting already next week u.n. special envoy for syria go paterson will be coming in and he plans to visit damascus. i hope that the talks the visits that he's going to make will make it possible to lay out to share deal for further work of the

constitutional committee and the we are deeply convinced that we need to. fix that error that happened with. syria was sent out from the arab league syria should once again become the member of the arab family. if you can reach the beginning of the mistral loughborough view now for noon rise you tell in television money. as we see in the trailer we've been we've been talking a lot for sure with you about believe crimes or so what were the mistakes of various retailing governments in the rest and year is in regard to flee. the jail and so what could we do now. and what do you expect from believin

conference in berlin. as for the mistakes. past well the greatest mistake was made by a tele. which those were our colleagues from native who made that mistake should use the 2011 they made a decision to start bombing in libya all the from the regime violate the un security council resolution it really was not the main culprit i'm not going to give you the exact names of those well led the effort but i can the day probably you know the names of those beetles they stayed heard of libya has been demolished released to rubble hasn't been restored since there's been. too how besides the warring sides the reach agreement in their country.

used to be there was these here are agreement and many external players still believe that this agreement which lays out the main principles for the sat tell me . is there a new and says we can add something or we can then just something. but still that offer stands that agreement stands and last year some agreements reached the meeting in abu dabi. it had to do with the establishment. of the future of libya but nothing was implemented in paris there was one more meeting and at that meeting the date was announced for the elections to take place in libya but again as we know we shouldn't be. tried before the course. not much of rush diplomacy is a slow steady process we had a conference in for larry and

a lot of work was done there and in response to our colleagues requests and we agreed to contribute to the efforts we invited the hads of the. and do worse is because lots of libya to come to russia the accepted the invitation we spend 7 or even more hours holding talks. with the delegations that are i mean. after hours do they go and the head of the parliament was here. and the prime minister. had of the state council used the all came we have a document well balanced well considered and calls upon all parties to start a cease fire and kick start the peace process it was signed by.

the. haftorah and sell it to the us with some more time before they make that move what is important is that the truce was announced and it still holds. which is a very good sign which means progress was made and i hope the discussion continues as it is today recently germany's foreign minister met with mr hafter in the galaxy and it was announced. mr hafter should confirm that he's ready to continue the truce. to hear that the billing our friends who supported that initiative from day one. to. stone the more countries. of the people decide to helping the libyans to settle the crisis the better it will be. difficult to vitiate this people to do something positive but we are ready to do that work will be part of the conference which will take place on sunday in

the lane we took part in every of the. document 5 meetings that took place previously we call offered most of the documents we sure are there and these documents they are within the e.u. so you shall find out what has been agreed by the security council and there is nothing that contradicts city officials of the security council and during the talks. we are been doing our best to make these documents one more legitimate i hope that after the building conference average thing will be going through the plan and the security council would support its outcomes it's up for the flooring sides in libya but they should not make the same mistakes they used to make because they should not be mounting any more conditions they should not. be blaming each other for the problem is that they do one.
