this, in that video, the situation change the after the commodities a 2010, a few months organ trafficking, eat, received a lot of publicity shed light on the crimes of the military and the demand. and the national reaction that the national reaction was that the created through this stablish meant of this course, the end to this case against assume that you know, what do you think? i mean, i was, he was supported through west you throughout the conflict. so we mentioned all that the officials that it, it met with. and even if you see the support for 20 years, even after the war, do you think it's fallen out of favor with many in the west? well, yes and yes. and no, you know that this, this court that namely, was the established by assembly, of course,

or not by the west. and so these core, these a part of the course of a tradition, judicial system. but each seat is in the netherlands. it is financed by the european union and prosecutors and the judges cannot b, b from a cost. so basically it is a shame in the rest. the day only started dealing with this case is after 24 years when a summer when, when some of them are some of for best employee additions and the also people in international. traditionally, a system known about the all these cases, the as early as 999, but then best some best. and politicians told us that it was a set of b m, propaganda. and albanians did not commit crimes and simply the west

bonds sort of being ordered to declare an independent customer. and now we've seen that even 2040 years after the bombing, they failed to create functionally situation in kosovo. and they are trying to, to manage something with the 4th through these courses and through the scores to which was founded by the assembly of course. so now obviously you're touch, he has said that he's innocent. i'm but in theory how, how do you think? how easy do you think you, how excuse me, i'm trying to formulate my words it. given the kaylay was more of a gorilla group without a properly established chain of command. how easy or difficult to think it would be for the prosecution to make these charges stick? well, this is case against cassie. she must seek, namely,

the caching tuchee and the 3 other commanders or so called, of course, only the nation army, either being accused for individual cases of border crime crimes. and this is particularly emphasized in the, in the 2 days of speeches. the reason for such an approach is that the individual responsibility and responsibility of the entire part of military formation to reach the gala was, would not be connected. i would just like to remind you that in 1998 to do you, a special envoy, robert gilbert, put the kosovo liberation army on the list of terrorist organizations. but he's changed after each of the whole brooks visit the british dinner. so the key li, his, i can't state the someone among the albanian public. and because of this,

the court has fenced the cell for announcing in advance that in, in being the videos are being tried for individual cases or of, or crimes. i suppose that next step will be that the that, that, but you mentioned that can lead didn't, the, gives them doesn't give some, some precise the gene off of hormones and so on and so on. so it is binding in that direction, i suppose. and, well, unsticking with the theme, according to amnesty international, some previous attempts to investigate the cali, we're faced with the obstruction of justice, including intimidation of potential witnesses, unfair to prosecutors and judges. what do you make of that? and do you think that that will happen in this case now? well, yes, it is well known when low and the fact i just would like to undermine

this and this case against caching that she is the specific because it is not a, it is not the on a trial for organ trafficking which was g k c big mart is a report in 2000 and then that she is on try the group. he leads ease on child, mainly for crimes against albanians. so namely in order to restore order among the albanian society, among course on billions. in 1999 members of the galley kidnapped the hundreds of albanians who did not want to try and join them for a whom they suspected of cooperating with these of the public of serbia. they even went so far as to keep not the civil forrest. this will work for the ministry,

ministry of the republic of serbia, a large number of those albanians were daughter. some of them killed now, dead on trial for dead and not for all of them. trafficking, the explosion of the serbian population and ethnic cleansing region of the commodity is also a report the primary event tomorrow or so. well, journalists jump, arakash, i'm afraid we're going to leave it there, but thank you very much for breaking that down very comprehensively for us. thank you very much for your invitation. ah, oh, after months of back and forth nato sex to general has announced that finland will become the 31st member of the block. is a historic v. to morrow we will um, well, config. long as the 31st member of nato making, feel them say, for an hour alliance, stronger the move comes as the turkish present urge. one has approved the

ratification of finland's application to join nato. me, while russian deputy foreign minister, alexander goosgo, has said that russia will respond to finance a session to nature. we will strengthen our military potential in the direction of the west and northwest in case of the deployment of forces and assets of other nato members on the territory of finland. we will take additional steps to ensure the reliable military security of russia while you're of on won't detain. vladimir putin in other news, if he finds himself on armenian soil. thus, according to the nations parliament following an i c, c, arrest warrant issued for the russian president that comes as the investigative new site. the grey zone has said that the i c c. order was inspired by a yale report that blames moscow for the adoption and we education of ukrainian children. the reports which was sponsored by the state department was published in february this year, a month before the warrant was issued. the report used russian and ukrainian open

media sources interpreted them using google translate and sensitive design locations using satellite imagery. no interviews were conducted. the inquiry also i met that quote. many children were sent to the so called v education comes with their parent's consent and were you reunited with their families as prearranged? it did not notes any mistreatment of children, which directly contradicts i. c. c claims. the greater editor in chief says, the report is full of contradictions. that relates to the politicization of the i, c. c. something we're going to cover in the 2nd edition of this ongoing investigation. and it also raises the question about nathaniel raymond, the executive director of the yale humanitarian lab, which is funded by the state department. and according to raymond's own comments to my co author, jeremy le afraid was essentially directed to carry out this investigation by the state department. but when you look into the body of the report,

or when raymond was challenged by my co author le fredo, it contradicts what he said in the media. for example, inside the e l h r a report, it says, and i quote that parents provide a center children to these camps quote, to protect their children from ongoing fighting and ensure that they had nutritious food, of the sort, unavailable where they live. it also said that the campers were returned in a timely manner with the consent of and went with the consent of their parents for the most part. and that this they found no evidence of child miss treatment. those are the exact words of this paper out further. these researchers did not conduct any on the ground investigation. they did not even seek to interview parents, families, children who attended the camps or to gain entrance to the camp. well, according to the documents, children from finance gun, the guns were sent to various states under comes his wish and institutions are

mainly aimed at organizing smart services for children. yes, janice jermel afraid of is this is one of the wilson governments sponsor comes in question. visited one of these camps 4 months ago. unaware that it would be so important to future war propaganda. i was invited to an old so be air hotel. in petrov ski, it turns out it was one of the so called camps or schools that prompted allegations of kidnapping abduction, reeducation. and eventually, in i c. c. arrest warrant funded by the russian government. this hotel was turned into a makeshift sleepaway camp for children from done yet, and the gods who were interested in the musical ours, and whose parents wanted them away from the front lines. they called it the dumbass express. yes, reports. how's the spot soulmate reactions in some of the western media though it would appear that very few of them have read it. the grey zones editor in chief, other than the paper, doesn't even follow its own citations. what we found, just in looking at the citations and foot notes of the yale h r l. a paper which was sponsored by the state department that they didn't even

follow their own citations. for example, in order to claim that children are taken by train by the russian aviation ministry, and by vos, to these russian government sponsored camps inside the russian federation. the authors linked to an article and rhian of i'm just going to break away from that now because as the u. s. the rushers assumed the un security council presidency, there were some busted bethany, and a benzo is holding a press conference issue. let's listen him. traditional p r breakfast, where we discussed it. so no official meeting supplement for the 1st week. well prisons who meanwhile, still on the 5th of april at 10 a. m. we intend to host in our national capacity an audio formula meeting entitled children and i'm conflict, ukrainian crisis, evacuating children from complex zones. you know that this issue he's being discussed in many for including us. and we want to dispel some

so that's for everything. now i'm ready to to, to answer your questions. if you have any further questions goes to brief you on anything. the 1st question goes, the other one. thank you. feather. thank ambassador on the alpha anchor for this press conference, but let it rebecca for months and use agency. i actually have 2 questions. the 1st one is a, what is your comment, the, to those the who suggests that russia should not be president for the security council because of the war in ukraine. and the 2nd one is our singer, a section of several european leaders to china to visit president. she do you think it can be a useful part to find it useful to find a path through the through the negotiation table. and you're going to have the 2nd question studying. yes, we are. there are several european leaders are starting with president mclaren going to china to see president president. she do you think it can be useful to

find a path to the negotiation, negotiating table in ukraine and china? do you think it can be play a key role in any or the un to facilitate a negotiation and a solution to the conflict. thank you. so much, i think you were on the 1st on the 1st question we're here this quarter. and so of course are some companies are pretending they can decide their own will who, who they want or do not want to be in the chair of the president. so the security council, as long as the current world order with the u. m and the security council stance, there will be no change in the rules of procedure or and the bread, the in the order, the present c of the present is well defined and it's not for them for changed are

on the i had also comments on, on the dresser should be an honest broker in the, in the presidency of the security council. i think i think that nobody could approach us, that we were not one when we were in the presence which can easily be checked. unlike her, some countries who come up with such claims who are not always on as brokers. i, i'm not even talking about the comment of the u. s. p r. who's present seen the security council and i recognize it when they were was professional. but the, some of their predecessors, i would say i didn't to do likewise, and they played with the rules and procedures of the security council and factually

basically that trampled the counsels of rules and procedures. i also hear comments heard comments from an outstanding and cheaper european diplomats. rosa barrell, who recently distinguished himself with comments and statements that made him a truly international star. no. in walking the know the 1st of april fools day that i will not comment much or i will view also, i will also, i will only ask a rhetorical question who's talking i didn't ask your 2nd question, james. okay. so a quick follow up for can you said you're going to follow the rules and procedures? you're well aware of the provisional rules of procedure of the security council

that of me rule 20 says during the consideration of a particular question with which the member he represents is directly connected. he shall indicate his decision to the council, to, to, to recuse yourself basically if, if that particular issue is something that you're directly involved in. and it's up to, it's up to you as the president to decide that. so if the issue of ukraine comes up this month, there's the prescript provision for you then to hand the presidency for that subject over to switzerland. no, that's no why not? if i, if you put the question this way, then i think if you are the companies that are on the security council should also withdraw from the discussion. and namely, free members of the b 5 who are directly involved involved in the situation which you are alluding to are. secondly, i would like to remind that in 20, so in 2003 was you can u. s. were presence of the security council in september in october consecutively.

nobody raised the question of their legitimacy to, to call the presidency. and nobody puts on the table, the question that they was dropped or discuss issues. an issue that was perhaps the, the most important topic oldham now coming back to what the lady asked me about china. i, well, i wish it could be the case, but i have strong doubts that the european leaders with their position on the credit card crisis could come to anything sensible and meaningful. when they visited with moralist know their rhetoric and narrative, what they will say. and what they will do, modeling from presidency. and i think the chinese barons position on the issue will not allow them to go from beijing with what they can see the in their view tension . thanks,

ambassador i. yeah. regarding your aria mating on wednesday, you've already said to us that this isn't intended to be a defense of president perkins. no, i didn't say that. no, i'm saying you've already said it not. not intended to me. i'm a defensive president perkins. i say say arrest line can, can you tell us who will be briefing on wednesday. and then regarding the ukraine grind deal. and you said in an interview with tasks on friday that you expect concrete results by may 18. and if that doesn't happen the you, i will have to acknowledge a few things about wish western sanctions. and they may do. yeah. what, what comes with lane, you know, you said you expect on the crank grain deal again. yeah, sorry. you expect concrete results by may 18 is what you told tough. and then you

said if you don't get that, the u. m will have to acknowledge some certain things about western sanctions. but you didn't say that russia would withdraw from the deal. so if may 18 comes round and russia doesn't get what it wants, will the deal continue? it's not me who decides, as you understand, oh, the we, we've been, we've been saying consistently that the deal is not working. the 2nd part of the deal, which concerns the russian, experts of food and fertile fertilizers, is not working is not working 100 percent, despite all the efforts 2nd, the general general and rebecca grants been greenspan are undertaking and recognizes efforts. but we are where we are. and what will happen in 60 days, where we said that we expect we expect the breakthrough. i cannot predict, as i said, it's not my prerogative to, to give even

a heads even heads up on that. but let's see what happens on 18. some. what may and what progress we could achieve by that date on, on audio formula, on audio formula. you will learn the name of the brief us very shortly today thing in the 2nd part of the day. because it's being coordinated with moscow and will come with the final is to shortly and have you received any pushback from any of your colleagues on the security council regarding your area? not really. we look at a formula meetings or meetings which are, which it provides for the participation of wilkinson. members, if, if we see somebody is missing, of course we will. we will do likewise when they have their own audio formula meeting on whatever topic we participate in every area formula, meeting the door colleagues who are not in the especially those who are not in

agreement with us in many issues are conducting. and we never miss any unless, unless they make the 1st move. thank you of cedar and thank you and vassar, it's pamela. thought from c. b. s. news. one question, and then a follow up. there's a great deal of concern about the arrest of american wall street journal journalist, evan gertrude rich. and i think we'd like to hear from you about what you think in terms of responding to us and many journalists organizations request to release him. and then the 2nd question is, just since i am, your foreign minister will be coming at the 25th or 26 and will be posted to 2425th end of april. i do expect any kind of possible or meeting with u. s. secretary of state blinking as they both did as a,

as a, as, as pull aside in early april. i mean in early march in india. thank you. i think that depends on the factors 1st, where blinking will be at the time secretary secretary blinking and the on the he is a his ability and willingness to, to, to meet with our foreign minister. we never, ever, and we stated that numerous times that we are not. we're not running away from whatever meetings with those people who want these meetings see for secretary blinking would like to have a meeting. of course the, the space will be provided if it doesn't, then, then it's irrelevant on. i mean, foreign minister probably want one person. well, he, for, if such meeting is

a question, i presume that minister level will be, will be ready to meet secondary blink. but for that, so we need to at least one condition and willingness their willingness to meet mr. heard of it, you only get school, which i'm not an investigative body. you know that we believe it or not, but we have the division of power powers in russia. he was arrested on charges. so for spent in spanish, the investigation is going on. we hear statements are coming from the west. we are today secondary blinking, talked 2 minutes to level on that ish or but that will be decided not by minister. lot of all the secretary blinking but by, by investigation and by the evidence.
